I got this game off a MacAddict CD once, it was like a Myst/Manhole-esque adventure game except you just like wake up and go to school and stuff. You could encounter an alien and also Busta Rhymes, and you would lose HP if he blew his smoke in your face. It had low res black and white graphics. I've been trying to figure out the name for years.

It was probably one of the World Builder adventure games. Did it have a tiny window?

I don't remember any of them with hit points though.

Normal sized window, like about the size of your standard hypercard game (Manhole, etc.). I don't think it was hypercard though, this was maybe 1998.

I didn't have a PC as a kid and Escape Velocity was fun as balls. Top down 2d space sim. They made 2 more of them, I liked the second one best. There was a pretty big modding community and the biggest and best one was called Frozen heart if I remember correctly. It was cool as balls. I always tried to conquer the whole galaxy but there were always a few worlds that had an innumerable amount of defense ships.

Escape Velocity and EV: Override owned, the mods ("plugins") were great, and the community used to be pretty decent. The third one was kind of a letdown though.

Leprechaun: an old-rear end Mac game where you push a pot of gold onto a rainbow while killing monsters with really weird sound effects.
