No-one Touches My Hamster is a short game from 2003 with some pixel hunting, but a charm about it.

The Unlikely Prometheus is a very funny entry in the recent $105 Adventure Game Challenge jam.

Edit: The Unlikely Prometheus won that jam!

Just played the demo, and this is really good horror stuff.  Very nice art style that fits the subject matter right on! There are some bugs in the demo, but the quality of the story, the writing and the character lore is high.

I'm wondering about the conversation system, though. Do you have a plan to avoid dead ends?  I saved my game and tried all four moods just to see what would happen at every conversation, but will it be possible to finish the game (or reach an ending) if you make the wrong calls in the conversations? It's a very interesting design, but probably also quite hard to do.

No, that's not it, either.

New pic, then.

Good guess, but no.

Okay, this one could maybe be easier. I'm watching it currently with my wife.

Yes, I liked it a lot. It's a Swedish series that starts out like a crime show, then takes turns towards the supernatural. Recommended if that description doesn't put you off. 

I'll think of something.

Jordskott?

Some old games lack download links now:

Ultimerr is at https://archive.org/details/ultimerr
Lassi Quest 1 Original is at https://archive.org/details/lassi-quest-2003-05-25 and https://archive.org/details/lassi-quest (I’m not sure which version matches the one in the database)
Lassi Quest 2 Teaser Demo is at https://archive.org/details/lassi-quest-2-demo
Lassi & Roger: Venture a Bit is at https://archive.org/details/lassi-and-roger-venture-a-bit
Lassi & Roger: Meet the God is at https://archive.org/details/lassi-and-roger-meet-the-god

Ray and the Guitar can be scrubbed. I do not have that game anymore sadly.

We're in luck - it's preserved in the MAGS collection: https://archive.org/details/ray-and-the-guitar

Ray and the guitar is lacking a download link, but is at https://archive.org/details/ray-and-the-guitar

Practice Script: The 1 Room Puzzler also lacks a link, but can be found at https://archive.org/details/practice-script-1-room-puzzler

I saw my Nightmare Demo on this list, which amazingly I still have lol. I can update the games page for it although there isn't much there (after all I was like 12 years old).

Please do! All your four entries in the Database have missing/broken links now, so it would be great if you could make them available again. 

Flight from the Robots is Fernewelten's entry in the ongoing Narrative driven jam 4. It's an escape the room game in a sci-fi setting.

Edit: It's in the base now, including a master mind-esque minigame not in the version linked here.

He's wondering if the chocolate wrapping is asking him to take four fingers up his @r$e, which is a slightly unfortunate message for a chocolate wrapping to send out.

A couple more Mags entries not in the database:

Research Resident which is unfinished, but you can play the first room and walk around in the second. There's not a scripted ending to the demo, though. (From Mags March 2018 Three's a crowd.) Looks like it would make a cool game.

Gwen Darkly â€" intro to the first case which is a demo. (From Mags January 2018 Misunderstood Motives.)

Tokyo Sonata?

I'm recognizing this as a correct (enough) answer. Sonatine is a stylish and violent yakuza/cop movie by, with and from Takeshi Kitano.

Mandle, you're the man!

Wasabi?

The title is from the musical realm, rather than the world of foods and spices.

Male child + a + tooth of a comb

But where's Zappa? 

And yes, Zappa is with two girls in the car driving scene and in the audience with his sons 

Maybe i should add to clear out some confusion (obviously some people don't "get it").

Joe Pixeliani = Joe Satriani, Surf Student = Steve Vai, Demented Old Man = Steve Lukather = One of Eddie's most famous real friend, as i understood it. So i wanted him to be in the video. In an interview with Rick Beato he called himself "what do i know, i'm just a demented old man" 

More conceptual continuity clues: Steve Vai had Satriani as guitar teacher, and Satriani has an album called Surfing with the Alien (with the Silver Surfer on the cover) - hence "surf student". Vai played with Zappa for many years and is a family friend, actually the connection (via Vai's roommate) Eddie used to get Zappa's number in order to go visit him. Lukather auditioned for Zappa when 17 years old and failed miserably, but took it to heart and made his own career. He plays on (at least) one of Dweezil Zappa's records as a guest guitarist.

Very cool video........

But where's Zappa? 

0.51 and 3.37 

From an old MAGS with the theme "Jumping Jack Flash":
Memoriae
Jump! Jack! Flash!

Found by coincidence in the depository while searching for the "jump"-games above, an old non-interactive demo, probably aimed at atheists:
Preachers can't jump. (I had to dig up an old computer to run this one. Lasts a minute.)
