Mortar is a copycat game, but a pretty good one. In Mortar the object is to destroy your opponent's tanks by setting the angle and velocity of your shots. Gameplay is livened up a bit by the inclusion of various weapons that you can buy. The main quibble
Miner is part strategy, part maze exploration, and part simulation. The object is to mine as much precious metals out of the ground so you can sell them to get as much money as possible. The graphics and sounds are mostly nonexistent but there is a surpri

Fire Fighter is an interesting ASCII-based strategy game which is not nearly as long and drawn-out as most strategy games. An entire game/scenario can last only a minute or two. The idea is to use three different methods (water, fire breaks, and backfires

My favorite computer pinball games! The shareware version only contains one table, but it's really cool. Great graphics, smooth scrolling, SB sounds, and "good enough" physics. It's really fun to play, and remember that a computer pinball game can do stuf
This "Animated 256-color VGA sports simulation" game from Epic Megagames is a baseball simulation, not an action game. Meaning you don't get to bat, play the outfield, etc. Instead you play the role of manager and try to make the best decisions to help yo
Elite is an open ended space exploration game. There is really no story, you just start off with a spaceship and cruise the galaxy. The game's graphics (at least in this version, there were many others) are rather dated but the game is remarkably large an
