It was a rather simple game, probably 16 bit? Not an expert on that stuff. Anyhow, it was a sidescrolling platformer that featured a girl with a dragon egg. The dragon would pop out, shoot tiny fireballs, and disappear. Over the course of the game, the dragon eventually hatched; then later he gets big enough to ride, allowing you to hover around. I’m pretty sure if you died, you started from the last save point with the dragon as an egg again? Not sure.

Yes! Yes it is! Is there any way to play it online?

ETA: Huh, apparently it’s not for PC? Weird, I played it on PC as a kid.

Searching says that the answer is no, not without an emulator. Thanks for the help though!

Another old game: You’re a caveman (I think… You’re bald, for sure) and can shrink, grow, or turn into a crab by doing certain activities. There’s one level that’s in a giant office (Or, you are tiny?) and another in a harbor (You have an anchor fall on you, turning you into a crab?)

A few sites may host it, but the legality is questionable, so you probably won’t get an answer in this forum. Dragon Egg!, I mean.

Sounds like one of the bonk series of games, probably super bonk: [The Bonk Compendium - The Games - Super Bonk](http://bonkzonk.com/game.ktn?Game=cg)
