DOS Games Discussion

Maybe it's the Skunny game seen in this video? Unlike the other games, it wasn't made by Copysoft as far as I know, and Skunny is, ahem, nude:

What about Alfred Chicken? It's a side-scroller from the 90s starring a red bird.

Could the first game be The Adventures of MicroMan? It has everything you mentioned in the first post: grey background, a giant magnet and endless pits. Look here:

Maybe you can find something in this list:

That sounds much like Commander Keen Dreams, get it here:

You might also have noticed the "boy with a helmet" in the logo of this site... and now in my avatar, too.

No matter! :) While we are at it... Zipman 3 (no idea if episodes 1-2 ever were released) The first Zipman (ZIPMAN.ZIP): http://cd.textfiles.com/ugameware/ARCADE/ Reminds me of Dangerous Dave. And the second one (don't ask why the folder's called "HUBBARD"): http://cd.textfiles.com/mmcd/GA...

The link www.apogee1.com that is used at various pages of the site (for games published by Apogee) only leads you to a bunch of ads now, since the page is parked free. Better replace those links with www.3drealms.com .

Ladder Man 3 [...] If episode one and two of this game exist somewhere, they are not readily available.

At least the first Ladder Man of Soleau Software is available at cd.textfiles.com:

No problem, I'm glad that I could help.

I remember playing this game ages ago. It's quite fun, but seems to be forgotten, I could only find references to it in file archives like the above. I wonder, is there a Windows counterpart to Dosgames.com?

A butterfly plays a prominent role in the educational game Math Rescue. There is also a similar-looking character in the related game Word Rescue, but it's a worm rather than butterfly. Both games are available at Dosgames.com: http://www.dosgames.com/g_edu.php Sorry, but nothing else comes to my mi...

There is a Snake game called Paulie Python where you have to eat mice - it's a shareware Windows 3.x game rather than a DOS one, though. Anyway, you can get it at the cd.textfiles.com archive:

I guess you mean the 1994 game Lode Runner: The Legend Returns: http://www.mobygames.com/game/lode-runner-the-legend-returns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lode_Runner:_The_Legend_Returns Or the improved version Lode Runner On-Line: The Mad Monks' Revenge: http://www.mobygames.com/game/lode-runner-on-...

Sorry for bumping this topic even if it is so old, but the description "rings a bell" for me. Pretty much everything in the guest's posting fits with the German The Game of Robot series (TOM Productions), original game released in 1988: http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/4391/gameofrobot.g...

'kay, but you changed Mario Kart to Mario Karts - actually, the "Kart" in the name is written without an "s". *extremenitpicking*

Some minor issues on dosgames.com that could be corrected (if anyone cares to do so ;)): http://www.dosgames.com/g_3d.php Blake Stone: Wolfenstein, not Wolfenstien. H.U.R.L.: Says there is no screenshot, but there is one. http://www.dosgames.com/g_sim.php Wacky Wheels: "Mario Kart s " with...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

From which country are you,this could help us. I wouldn't wonder if he/she is from Germany or another German-speaking country. The term "jump and run" (Jump 'n' Run) is common for platform games in this region (yay, those anglicisms). This term isn't common for platform games in the Engli...

Hello, I've noticed some texts on your site that seem to imply that Apogee developed the Commander Keen games. But as fas as I know, Keen was actually developed by id Software, and Apogee published them. Maybe these passages should be changed? While id Software is mentioned right to Keen 6's title, ...

Why so pushy Grandy02? It's not that those games aren't findable or completely lost. And believe me, as said before, emmzee and the others have huge PILES of games that can be added. Okay, I'll not make new posts in this topic until there is something new in it. Actually, I didn't want to know when...
