I can't remember its name but there were two monsters - one was skinny and red, one was fat and orange. You had to get the bits of the spaceship or something, and there were evil postboxes and icecream vans...

Do you remember the Mary-Kate & Ashley PC games?, I had a double set where one was dance routines & the other was more like a high school game .

"Colonization", a lesser-known cousin of the original "Civilization". Not that obscure but slightly. I played it to death. And I mean probably thousands of hours over several years. I can hear the MIDI music from it in my head right now.
