1942: The Pacific Air War?

You are correct, sir. You're up!

I might be gone for a couple days, so here's a tricky one.

EDIT: If no one gets it after a few days, I'll put up a different one.

For some reason it seems vaguely familiar to me, but I can neither remember the title nor where I could get that one from. Is it perchance some kind of shareware/freeware game? Or maybe I'm mixing it up with something different altogether.

megaman vii spriteedit OCs the qbasic platformer

It's a freeware DOS game from (I think) 1998, if that's any help.

If no one can get it, I'll put up a screenshot of a different game tomorrow.

OK, this one should be a little less obscure. I used to play it a lot 15 years ago.

Dig Dugg 3D? 😁

No, but it is based on a classic 2D game that featured digging!

Lode Runner 3D? 😜

no idea, but i do love its use of webpage backgrounds as textures 🤣

So what was it?? Looks like something I'd enjoy playing.

That one was "Peach's Dream".

Here's a hint if you get stuck: Backtrack!

I'm stuck, even with your hints. 🙁 BTW, are you the same Radio Poultry on the Dino Eggs Rebirth leaderboards?

Yep, that's me. Are you on there too? I used to play the original Dino Eggs (well, a cracked version) on my dad's Laser 128.

leileilol has the right idea, but not the right title. What other hints can I give...? Well, it has a level editor and mutiplayer. It's a freeware Windows game, but it's technically a sequel to two Amiga games (though there's no number in the title of this game.)

I don't think I realized how little-known this game had become (or maybe always was). The homepage is still up, but the dowloads don't work anymore. I had to search quite a bit just to find a copy.

I'm on there as himem.sys. In retrospect, I should've picked some version of that for my vogons username. 🤣. I didn't think that one through very well...I just remember feeling out of touch after 20+ years of not using DOS/Win9x, felt a bit clueless, that's how the vogons name came to be. 😉

Dino Eggs was one of my favorites on the Apple IIe, I did play it tons back in the early to mid 80s and even into the modern era via AppleWin.

Random guess: Digger 3D

It's better to use only commercial games for this theme.

HINT:
(Warning, extra wide image)

Then I guess it must be Turbo Lode (or TurboLode, even the website can't decide). 😜

Ding, ding ding!

(I'll try to find something people have actually heard of next time.)

Not much of a challenge here, but the obscure stuff that I thought about posting is a bit too much so.
