Mystery Games (Please help me find those):

  • Hex-based sci-fi turn-based strategy game. I know this is super vague. I think I just had a demo on a games magazine CD.
  • Top-down adventure/rpg with multiple characters and unusual weapons such as bombs, on some pre-SNES console but in my very vague memories it has SNES graphics.
  • 90s RPG-ish, medieval, side-on isometric view, feels very clumsy. Found it! Gorasul.
  • 90s strategy game where you build ski lifts etc. Found it! DOSDORF, an educational game from 1995~1997.
  • Scorched Earth? Scorched Planet? In my memories it was 3D and you fought pterodactyls.
