Appears to be Public Domain games, sort of thing you'd get on magazine disks

A magazine disk was the first time a game containing Sonic the Hedgehog was released. He was thrown into a game as an enemy character in a platformer game (Adventures Of Quik & Silva) without any regard for copyright law. This happened before the actual Genesis/Mega Drive game released.

(and no, that game is not on this site)

Quik & Silva was a banger, noticed a bootleg sonic was in it as a kid but had no idea about that fact. Amazing soundtrack too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXtT3L0zEqs

Something special about growing up with an Amiga instead of just a mainstream console because a lot of the games were opinionated creations from individuals that went viral through physical disk copies rather than everything just coming from a corporation.
