Banatron is a simple 2 or 3 player "snake" type game. (Also similar to "Nibbles"; you can get that game from QBasic.com in the "Action" category. QBasic itself is part of the "Old DOS" package from Microsoft.) Err, anyways, back to Banatron. It's not real

Assault Trooper is an isometric action game where you are sent on various military missions, such as infiltrating the enemy's base. The game looks good (although the various characters/sprites are very small so they can be tough to see) and plays fairly w
An extremely old vollyball type game, where you control a big nosed guy and try to use your head to knock a vollyball over a net. Sounds weird? Yep. CGA graphics, and PC speaker sounds ... bleh! The computer opponent is tough, but it could be fun for brie
Somewhat a clone of the classic 'Nibbles' game, in this one you are a snake who must gobble up fruit; each time you do, your snake gets longer. (Not meant in any obscene way.) Anyways, the VGA graphics aren't too bad, but since there's no variation in the
Looking for a frantic action game that is all over in around 30 seconds? If so, this is your game. Aliens come onto the screen, and you blast them. Fun at first, but obviously there isn't much replay value. It does feature VGA graphics and SB sounds, alth
A somewhat annoying game where the object is to shoot down enemy paratroopers as they drop from planes. The graphics are only average, and the PC speaker sound effects are really annoying (they can be turned off), however, it still can be fun in short spu
Abuse is a great side-scrolling action game that uses a unique system to control your character. You use the keyboard to move around and the mouse to aim your gun. It works pretty well and the game can be great fun to play, since it has nicely done graphi
What can I say? The game that started it all, and helped to define what is now one of the most popular computer game genres. If you've never played it (who hasn't?) you should. (Note: This game seems to really hate Win95/98. Run it from straight DOS, or r
Witchaven is a fantasy-themed FPS that was soundly outclassed by the Heretic (and later Hexen) series of games. Although it features decent graphics and sounds (for its time) its problems begin with the fact that it's fighting is mostly hand-to-hand with
The game that made Lara Croft a virtual star, and launched the entire series of Tomb Raider games. The game may seem somewhat bland by today's standards but it was quite popular upon its release, and NOT just because of certain attributes of its star char
A unique hybrid action/RPG game that features a DOOM/Hexen-like 3D engine. This has all the usual RPG elements (wizards, magic, townsfolk, evil monsters, chests ...) but in a fully 3D world. The graphics are somewhere between Wolfenstein-3D and DOOM in te
Ever felt the need to rescue a kidnapped elf who has been captured by a evil polar bear? No, me neither. Yet, in Wolfenstein-like 3D, that's exactly the premise of this game. Although you use heavy weaponry (shotguns and so on) this is not a gory game. Th
Terminator: Future Shock was a game that probably never got the attention it deserved when it was released. As showcased in this playable demo version of the full version game, this game differs from Quake in that it offers a bit more in the way of plot,
It takes a little while to get used to, but this flying/shooting game (sort of like Decent, but more out in the open) can be really fun to play. (It gets much tougher during the later levels, however.) I found it to be a lot of fun, even though it gets ve
Strife is one of the best 3D shooting game's that you've likely never heard of. This demo version showcases some of the great gameplay and features that you'll find in the full version, if you're able to find it anywhere (eBay? the bargain bin at your loc
