No solution though, but more of the description perhaps.

Here is Spit Wad Willy's page at Mobygames: https://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/spit-wad-willy
also Pea Shootin' Pete, a later version of the game: https://www.mobygames.com/game/pea-shootin-pete

A lot of similar games also exist: https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/pang-variants

Mobygames currently list 2080 visual novels; you might want to narrow this down a bit...e.g. what platform you played it on & when you played it.

something from the X-com universe?

Good; here is a Mobygames link: https://www.mobygames.com/game/dinosaur-discovery The platforms does not seem to include the Acorn? Maybe it was a Beeb, or the BBC Micro perhaps is an Acorn made computer?? It seems so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Micro (I'm not too familiar with these brands, ...

Cool, I had actually forgot about the CD version - I've only played the non-talkie release, and it was long ago.

The character description reminds me of Rayman, he has disconnected limbs, but I don't know if he fits otherwise?

There is a group of games where you play as a vampire here: https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/pr ... st-vampire

The other game type I can think of is like 'Jones in the fast lane' - it might be too early though, but you control your characters life. Not a board game though. edit: yes it is a board game...my memory of it had faded. Perhaps check out the 'human life' simulation genre: https://www.mobygames.com/...

Perhaps look in this group: https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/protagonist-blob

Maybe something here: https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/theme-sea-pirates

It seems there are some emulated bundles of the game from some sites (no links), they are not native to Mac.

Oni perhaps? She is pretty agile, doing many acrobatic moves in battle. 3rd person yes, and some of the enemies are androids I think.
Not sure about the prison bit though. Laser barriers I think might have been in place in some locales.

Hmm...wasn't that one of the twists in at least one of the Baldurs Gate series games?

There is a group for these games here: https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/ga ... -licensees

Not sure, but for some reason I'm thinking of 'Tropico'.

Wing Commander Academy? It has no story, it's only a combat trainer really. Not sure if there was any planets though.

Good you found it; it is stuck in beta forever too it seems, but here is a link to their official website:

The thing that comes to my mind is 'Homeworld', but it's later. There is a static home base with smaller fleets around it that you move. More 3D though. Maybe something similar? https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/homeworld-series For 2D space battles - maybe one in the Starcontrol series? https://...

Mobygames does not have that many browser games listed, but these are the submarine games in general:
