Old Windows 95 games

I need help finding out the name of a game i used to play. i am pretty sure it was on windows 95, but it could have been 98. It was a game where you were a guy who went through these different levels collecting different colored keys to open colored doors, and i remember there was a part where you had to slide across ice from one spot to the other. I really need some help here, i've been looking for this game on the internet for a long time, and i am hoping someone might be able to tell me what it's called.

Wildfire - How do I get old 95 based games running on my XP Pro machine?

I want to resurrect my 7th Guest/11th Hour games, along with my old Tex Murphy titles. ^_^

Right click on the executable and select Properties then click on the Compatability Tab...Tick "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select the OS (from 95-2k).

The above is for XP, (For others) Vista may be different.

Never played them but those two posters have cost me 8 hours of my time... I'm annoyed about them I'd forgotten about Chip's Challenge before this thread

I also have a game that I want to find. I Used to play it on my Windows 95 computer. I thought the name of the game was tyron, but apparently not since i cant find it. There was a one and two player mode. You could choose to use the mouse, if so your ship would be a larger brown color and if you used the keyboard it would be a smaller grayish ship. Im not sure how to describe it but you had weapons and you collected upgrades and there were bosses and whatnot. I remember having a really fun time playing it and would like to give it another go.Help finding it would be much appreciated! thanks.

I think I know the game you're thinking of and I don't think it's Chips Challenge..?

The one I'm thinking of is where you go through all different levels collecting letters and keys to get to the different level and you get chased by slugs and stuff.. I'm trying to find it and have no idea what it's called so if anyone knows that would be great!

Well, seeing we are talking games, I once had a game called vegas dream but it was not for the pc, it was for the nintendo entertainment system.
I wonder if anyone has ever seen it used on a pc.
Thanks

I was wanting to know if anyone knew how to get hold of an original "Life Genesis". I've found a game called Game of Life, but it doesn't work on Windows, or I'm not doing something right.
