Full title of this game is "Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons". I thought that this game was SO amazing when I first played it (many years ago), and it's still quite fun now. It features great graphics (for EGA) and some not-so-annoying PC speaker
A relaxing sidescroller where the emphasis is on collecting items and making tricky jumps, as well as solving simple puzzles. I say "relaxing" because there are no enemies to worry about, and the MIDI music has a soothing quality about it. It's similar in
Clyde's Adventure is the first in the (short) series of Clyde games (followed by Clyde's Revenge). The game is quite simple: Run and jump around the level (and use your magic wand) to collect gems and life orbs to keep yourself alive (your Energy constant
This remake of a somewhat obscure computer game features pseudo-3D "rendered" graphics which were all the rage for awhile back in the early/mid 90's in games such as Alone in the Dark. This game has nothing to do with Alone in the Dark though. It's a fair
Charlie II is the sequel to Wiering Software's "Charlie the Duck". As such, it's similar to the original game. Very similar, in fact. It seems to use the same engine, and shares a lot of graphical touches and gameplay devices. The object of the game is to
As soon as you run this game, you can tell it's going to be an experience that's higher quality than your average shareware game. The VGA graphics in this sidescrolling Mario-esque jumping game are very nice, and there are some SB sound effects too. (Unfo
One of my first experiences with 'shareware' way back a couple of months before we'd even purchased our old 2400baud modem ... Anyways, this game was quite innovative back when it was released, with it's smooth scrolling EGA graphics and sound effects. (T
Blinky 3 is an odd game that has for some reason been requested a lot on the DOS Games Discussion Forum. So, here it is. It was created with the old Game Maker utility, and while compared with other Game Maker games its pretty good, the controls are tough
Although the character movement and general gameplay aesthetic may bear a strong resemblance to the classic Prince of Persia game, Blackthorne was actually developed by Blizzard Entertainment, who of course would later go on to create the wildly popular W
Note that this is the full registered version of this game, recently released as freeware by 3D Realms. Bio Menace is a decent EGA platformer from Apogee. It's got some nice EGA graphics and SoundBlaster sounds, though, as well as a few original elements
In this game you play a squirrel named Skunny (who's also featured in several other Copysoft games), and are on a quest to "save your girl". Pretty good VGA graphics, and SB sound effects ... however, the controls are very loose and floaty (especially the
Aro is a fairly basic sidescrolling/jumping game. You play as a red guy. The object is to jump your way to the end of the level. That's it, there's no story, no shooting, and only rarely is there any excitement. The graphics are pretty basic, but game con
If you've played the classic Pharaoh's Tomb game, you'll be right at home in Arctic Adventure. The unofficial sequel to the classic platform/puzzle game, Arctic Adventure appears to use the same engine as its predecessor, and employs a similar graphical (
Also known as "Halloween Harry" (not sure why the name change occurred) this is one of the lesser-known titles from Apogee Software. This game features great graphics and awesome SB sound effects and music. The gameplay is very shooting oriented, similar
