That does sound like the Nanosaur game I linked; especially the egg-collecting part.

I was 11 years old, dammit, but I still remember the exact place (and year) I saw it!
I think they made a nintendo 64 game by that same name, although it's a legit video game, unsure about if a movie like that exists though.
Wasn't the game. This had real people in it.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I actually remember a really early one of these. There was this one picture book, beautifully painted, which was about these little people. One side, the good guys were orange fuzzy guys, and the other side were blue and icy. I also remember that there were these little details throughout, like these little ladybugs that progressed with the story doing different thing. One day the library re-arrnaged, and I have never seen it since. Never even had anyone know what it is.

I had a book when I was a teenager, called Combat!, full of military tactics and so forth. I remember reading it, I can remember all the stuff about LAWS, Smaws and so on. It was an awesome book....
But when I search for it, I cannot find it. It was in a red cover, and just the word Combat! On it.

For nearly 15 years I was convinced that a Cudley the Cowlick toy existed and that I'd seen it on shelves once as a kid.

I actually found what they were, I owned these things in grade 7 and had no idea what they were and had no idea GW made these things or even what they were for
If I recall mine had terminators on them, I'd like to get some more...only because I have been pondering about them for nearly 15 years, I mean they just vanished, I remember having them and really liking them.

Was it definitely Shadows of The Empire? The FMV cutscenes for Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight could quite easily be mistaken for a film in the dawn of a persons memory.
Ironically, I had/saw this a year before I actually saw the Star Wars films themselves.

In my childhood I was wandering a toy department and I SWEAR I saw Battle of the Planets (G-Force, Gatchaman) toys. And it wasn't some exotic store stocking Japanese imports like Forbidden Planet, it was the basement of Alexander's.
I wandered the store for hours (OK maybe 10 minutes) treying to find them again. I may have cried.
I now think I saw some Micronauts Acroyear IIs and mistook the blue ship for the Phoenix. But damn that's still my chimera.

The only thing I can find like that is Nanosaur. If that's not it, can you provide any more details?
I remember that game. Fun times.

Oh! There was this game where you picked a bug faction (one was ants) and had to fight other insects. It was a lot like Starcraft, but with bugs! It was awesome. I cannot find it for the life of me.
Edit: Holy gak I found it! It was called Swarm Assault!

I seem to recall, a few years back a bunch of excitement over a prequel trilogy to the Star Wars movie... Anyone heard of it, or seen what must be an epic masterpiece?

That was only available on N64 and MS Windows; no apple products like Incog mentions.

My 'Holy Grail' is a bit of an esoteric one. Back when I was but a wee slip of a lad, Ladybird books used to do a 'book and tape' release that had the book along with an audio tape of the story so you could read along with it. One particular one they released was an abridged version of Conan Doyle's 'The Lost World', this one in fact:
The accompanying audio was fantastically well produced and left a lasting impression on me to the extent that I would dearly love to track down the audio. Do you think I can find it buried somewhere in corner of the internet? For the life of me, I cannot...
sorry but its foggy.
