Maybe a Soko-ban type of game?

This ad is from the floppy release, marked 'to be released in august'. There are later CD releases with covers on Mobygames, and those don't mention the editor. I looked at a forum that talked about this game (among other things), and I read a comment indicating it was never released. Maybe you can ...

Ok, I think it is spelt 'Blym', at least the character seems to fit with a green blob in a hat.
It can be played in a flash-sandbox app, if it supports 'actionscript 3' which the game uses.

I guess it is a bit random to find these old disks; there is a picture archive here: http://pcplus.atspace.com/
All are of the UK magazine but nothing for download or purchase what I can see.

At archive.org there are some cover disks in collections but it seems not the #48 one you look for.

Wasn't those monthly magazines & disks, e.g. 12 issues/year? (What I recall the magazine was localized, so it could possibly be a different content on the floppy in your country than in mine) Issue #48 is from 1990 what I can see when googling for them, so maybe you are thinking of something else?

Very much DDOS going on recently I think - keep getting messages aimed at other spam-IP:s I think.

Edit: I noticed my timezone was off in my profile, possibly since last update of the forum - I fixed that, but still issues with 'permanently banned IP' messages.

Ok.

I thought of that also at first, but the OP specifically said it was not one of Shatners games.

A couple of times today I've seen a spambot warning screen for my own IP when I have logged in or making a report.
Looking at spamhouse.com, I cannot find a matching warning there, and when retrying the operation things work as usual again.

Is there some overload attack still ongoing, or what?

That sounds like something for the Vogons DOSBox games forum.
I don't know the game, so I can't be of much help.

Not really collecting them, but I have a few such releases for various games (not for DOOM as I don't have that game, but for Unreal and others). Not exactly shovelwares, but community-produced addons released on CD.

I don't have such a link,it was mentioned in the game description only; it does not seem to be documented at Mobygames; maybe it was described in the game manual or at the developers site?

Glad to be of assistance :-)

The developers still have a website up where they sell many of their old games.
There seems to have been an earlier version, maybe that had the ball split/merge feature?

Not really a checkers game, but maybe Colony?

There is a list of board-game conversions here: https://www.mobygames.com/game/from:199 ... re/page:1/

Not a game I've played, but it looks cool!

Looking at the archived pages for www.1001games.com, prior to 2012 they were only hosting pool/billiards type games,but after that year they had a lot of small flash-games of other types. Did you play *with* your dad in cooperative or versus mode? Or did you just have one player character that you c...

Glad you found it, which one was it then?

Glad you found it. Also a bit funny - I just saw it by chance in a youtube clip, it looked cool.
