Game title request

[SmootH]

Hello all, it's been a while.  It's nice to see some familiar names.  I recently got back into AGS so, I'm formally saying "yo, what's up" to the whole community.

I also have an ulterior motive for this post, I have a request for you:  I'd like to find some games in which the player controls the environment rather than the characters (e.g. the player turns on spot light and the characters move to examine the illuminated area).  I have a decent idea but I'd like to see a proof of concept.   

Thanks in advance

Not too sure if any AGS games feature such a style of gameplay, but it sounds quite similar to the commercial game "The Experiment/Experience 112."

In Super Monkey Ball you are technically controlling the tilt of the floor as opposed to controlling the monkeys themselves... although it basically amounts to the same thing.

Lemmings?

There's also Bill's Tomate Game (Amiga, 1992) where you had to place fans, platforms, jack in the boxes and other stuff to propel a tomato to the end of the screen.

Any of those pipe-placing games whatever they were called.

A very cute flash game in this style is "GOOD NIGHT, MR. SNOOZLEBERG"

I totally know a game like you described...
I totally can't remember a title... maybe later.

EDIT: Oh yes I do now

You had to shoot slingshot at things near pac-man to make him notice them, etc.

Thanks everyone!

You've given me a lot to look over.

LCP, or Little Computer People (which is the precursor to The Sims).

Populous 1 and 2 (the third part is really an RTS, which doesn't count).

Any number of trade sims, like *Tycoon, or Supremacy, or whatnot, but that's probably not what you mean.

And The Incredible Machine, of course.

Little Computer People was a godly game, I'm so happy someone else remembers it.
