I remember a game making tool with very Windows 3.x graphics. Sparse, white BG, black lines, 16 colour palette. Made adventure games where you move room-by-room. Sci-fi setting. No character visible, just click on things. Built-in items like coloured keys. Closest thing I can find is MacVenture. There's a window for the room, one for text, and one for inventory. I remember octagon-shaped rooms? Maybe these was a map window too.

Have a very vague memory of an adventure game where you had to hunt down the Kelly gang. Maybe a bit like Carmen Sandiego? I remember CGA graphics. Never tried looking for this too hard, just remember playing it in class a couple of times.

Little notes so I don't lose them again.

• A movie I saw a few times on SBS. Took me years of going through lists, but eventually turned it up as Secret Chronicle: Prostitution Market. I think the name on SBS was just 'Prostition Market', or something like that.
• A Flash game I kept trying to remember. Again, I didn't have a name, just some bits of memories (basic gameplay, Flash, school kids, red earth), but a pal remembered it: Love Punks.
• I remember a film that I thought was called something like 'The Immigrant' or 'The Translator' or my main hunch was 'The Interpreter'. Came out in cinemas, 2000s or 2010s. Main guy was American, and is in other things. Reviewed on The Movie Show. Even my parents saw it. About an American guy who acts as an interpreter for a guy getting his visa. He plays an Arabic drum at some point, I think the guy give it to him. There's a joke about 'Arab time' at a market. Had another look, and found it as I was about to post this: The Visitor! Thought I should search for keywords on TMDB, and it paid off.
• I remember a shareware version of a neat breakanoid-type game where your paddle was carried by a cartoon professor (like Thunder and Lightning), and you could tilt the paddle to different angles. I thought it was called Nyett III, but turns out that's a different game (a Tetris clone). Probably for DOS, but maybe Windows 3.x. Some time in the 90s. Graphics were nice, so maybe VGA or SVGA. It's Break Through Bukulu! No number in title, and I thought the playfield was taller, but this is def it.
