DOS Games Discussion

I had this cd-rom in the early 90's and remember a few games that were on it.
The Settlers
Jill if the Jungle
Blake Stone
Doom
Monster Bash
Jazz Jackrabbit
and a ton more. Did anyone else have this disk and remember the names of more games? There was one that was from Peter Pan and you had to build Wendy a house of sticks I think?

Man, man o manometer ....
There were thousands if not ten thousands such compilation CDs ....
Filled with shareware, tryware, demo, freeware stuffs.

In those days it was cheaper to buy such CD as much peeps were on dial up, not to mention dial up wasn't really reliable when it came to downloading large files.
Also every PC related magazine had some 'cover' CD.

What I mean:
It will be sheer luck if someone remember this specific 'big bonus CD'.

You always can try to find it @

As for your 'Peter Pan' game, sounds as Peter Pan, a story painting adventure.

Good luck.

Oh god yes, I remember this. And have been searching for it for years now.

I think it was called Big Bonus, then with the year 2000 printed below. The games I remember from it was that Peter pan game, also a sort of tower-defenders type game within the peter pan genre, where you sort of have to build a path through for your minion dudes. Also there was 'Zed' where you're this crazy scientist or something and you have a gun and have to get through this trippy world full of acid pools.

To this day I still search for it...

Oh wow! I had the one with the Peter pan game! It came
Free with an education game my parents got me. Also had a
Metal slug type game called zed, and some hunchback of norte dame games.

eBay lists a CD called The Big Bonus Family Activities. Unfortunately, no image is provided by the seller.

Interestingly I have been looking for this one a couple of years now as well to dig up some childhood memories. When I was a kid, my cousin had it and back in the day I thought it was really cool. I thought the sidescrolling shooter was called Zeb. I was really annoyed at the fact that no matter how much digging, I couldn't fine any of the games on the web anywhere, and I can't remember the names of most of the ones I liked best.

Does anyone remember sidescrolling cave adventure game where the guy you play has to rescue a girl or something? I vividly remember that you had to collect candles to stay alive and sometimes you would dive underwater too. Every time you took a hit, there was this distinctive "Oh-o!" sound effect. Best I can remember it was called the great adventure of something.
