I remember a game, it was released on Playstation (and a few other consoles) - but I had it on Playstation. It was a game that'd originally been released in Arcade and was SUPER popular. Or it seemed to be because people were always playing it. I remember you were a part of an organization called the Special Tactical Advanced Alien Response...

(Might be way too easy!)

It is! I was purposely being pretty vague because I figured if someone googled "Special Tactical Advanced Alien Response" - it'd pull up AREA 51.

Your turn, good sir.

I remember a PC game where the player works for a special agency and travels to various points in time to restore history by making sure certain events occur correctly or that specific individuals don't die. Part of the fun of this game was engaging in historical battles, and traveling to various time periods and places, ranging from the a very specific and well-known disaster in the ancient world to battles and wars in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Yes, this game is absolutely on that list! In fact, what I wrote in my previous post gives it away when reading the description for this game on that list.

Well, not too much - I did control F for portions of what ye wrote and didn't see anything pop out.
That said - the closest one that matches is Timequest, so going to put my finger on that as the game.

Nope, it's not Timequest, but that reminds me I have that on GOG. I need to try playing that.

HINT 1: This game is a First-Person Shooter (but the story and character interaction makes it more interactive and complex than your average FPS).

HINT 2: This game was released in the 21st century.

Well, then my next guess would be Darkest of Days which does the historical thing and also a first person shooter.

Correct! It's an interesting game that never did very well, but in my mind definitely stands out, at least in its attempted scope and story.

Your turn, Tawmis!

All right - an easy one!

I remember a console game, where you control the main character, making their way through a dense and dangerous jungle....

Easy... sure.

Okay, was this game on any other platforms, such as computers or arcade machines?

The one I am thinking of was strictly for console.

They did make a sequel for the same console... I don't recall playing it.

Another game (the third?) was released on SEGA, I remember. But it was VERY different than the first two. And it didn't mark itself as the third... it just had a "title" for the game, like "Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking For Love (In Several Wrong Places" (though we'd know that as LSL2) as an example.

***WARNING: TANGENT*** (Sorry)

At least LSL2 does feature a dense and dangerous jungle. (Two, in fact).

At the resort, the jungle is dense, and when Larry comes out (in the guest room), he can die at least once.

On the island, the jungle isn't too dense, but Larry can die several times.

I'd say that LSL2 and LSL3 are the most lethal adventures Larry can have. (And they're oh-so-beautiful because of that).

By the way, was the LSL cycle supposed to finish at the end of LSL3? Just wondering. It ends with Larry and Patty together and happy. I love a happy ending.

All good and fine, but do ye wanna try to guess what game I am thinking of?
