I have fond memories of playing Jazz Jackrabbit...and Commander Keen, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Secret Agent Man, Jill of the Jungle, and so on. Epic Games and Apogee were the logos I remember seeing most often. OMG! Jetpack from Adept Software is still available?! https://www.adeptsoftware.com/jetpack/

Tip of my tongue request. Looking up images of DOS platformers like Secret Agent and Crystal Caves reminds me of a game that was loaded on some elementary school computers in 1998. I don't recall if they were Mac or DOS, but they certainly weren't the cutting edge G3. I think the game had a character in a trench coat and they were maybe a sleuth of some kind. The color palette was dark but there were yellow-ish light…
The detective character you're describing sounds a lot like the character from the Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets series. I've linked a video but not sure if it's the exact game you're thinking of https://youtu.be/OzXHI22IOSA?t=113 edit: This DOS game might be the one you're thinking of https://youtu.be/Wei0C21LBNM?t=28

It's definitely it. I think the overhead light I'm remembering is from Mission T.H.I.N.K., but I do remember the Gizmos & Gadgets levels. Thanks for finally quashing this curiosity. I can die in peace now. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6-vMxPcgnjo&t=4m https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission:_T.H.I.N.K .

The games you get today they might be very flash, but they will never beat the thrill of getting through Jetpack.

All of those and gizmos and gadgets. God I spent so much time on that one. And the lost mind/island of Dr. Brain. I wish I could still play them!
All old games are available.
The dev is using nCine as the engine to leverage its porting capabilities (it even has a Nintendo Switch homebre version). nCine itself can use SDL2, QT5 and GLFW as backends Interesting decision.
