Elder Scrolls – Daggerfall
By Bethesda Softworks (1994) This is not a demo! It’s the full version of this classic RPG game! It has been released by its original authors, and this is great news for all computer RPG fans. Similar to the more modern version Morrowind, this game has obviously worse graphics but some say its gameplay is still superior. It has a very open-ended and non-linear feel so if you enjoy that type...

Read MoreJellyfish
By Eldon D Martin (1993) JellyFish is a simplistic arcade game that seems like it could have been released for the Atari 2600 back in day.

Read MoreJasper’s Journeys
By Joseph and John White (1997) Jasper’s Journeys is a good looking jumping game, with great sound effects and animation. You play an elf-like creature, and you jump around, collect items, etc. It’s very well done. The jumping and movement is somewhat ‘floaty’, but you’ll quickly get used to it and overall the game is quite enjoyable to play and it runs very...
Read MoreIslands of Danger
By Carr Software (1996) A unique and interesting ASCII text-mode game where the object is to destroy all of the missile launchers on each island.

Read MoreIsle Wars
By Soleau Software (1994) In this strategy style game your goal is to take over the world! It’s similar to the classic game Risk, but adds some new elements like natural disasters.

Insanity is an ASCII-based maze game, where you must find your way through the maze while collecting items, avoiding enemies, picking up clues, and doing lots of other stuff. Its a weird little game but if you’re into old DOS games this is a unique and interesting one to play. (You...
Read MoreInvaders 1978
By James Eibisch (1996) Looking for a space invaders clone? This one is pretty good. It takes the authentic, ‘no-frills’ route, and does a pretty good job. It isn’t pretty to look at, but it does play well, and has some SB sound effects as well. Download Invaders 1978
Read MoreInner Worlds
By Sleepless Software (1996) An enchanting platform game that few have likely heard of, Inner Worlds features great graphics, sound, music, variety and game mechanics. The protagonist in the game may remind you a bit of Jill of the Jungle, but the gameplay here is more indepth, with various items to pickup and use. Your character can also change forms, from a woman to a wolf. Very impressive...
Read MoreIn the Dead of Night
By Trecision (1995) A first person detective adventure this game takes place in a chalet after a murder has occurred, and it’s your job to solve it. The game takes place from a 1st-person perspective and features decent EGA graphics. The mouse-based control scheme is a bit cumbersome, and the translation from the game’s original Italian language is sometimes also a bit clumsy but...
Read MoreImpact
By Audiogenic (1988) Impact is an EGA Arkanoid clone. There are not many improvements made over the classic Arkanoid formula. One change is that instead of dropping powerups, the blocks drop coin-like items, that can be saved up to buy increasingly better powerups. Download Impact
Read MoreHurl
By Millenium Media Group (1995) This is a 3D shooter you’ve probably never played before. It uses an engine similar to the one used by early 3D games like Wolfenstein 3D or Ken’s Layrinth. It includes weird SB sound effects and some rather wacky graphics … you’ll have to download it and see it for yourself whether you enjoy this somewhat strange game! Download...

Read MoreHoliday Serpant
By PuavoHard (1999) Quite a nice looking Nibbles-like game. Here you are a serpent, and must collect flowers while avoiding the skulls, and also avoiding running into your tail. This game looks very nice, and includes some SB effects as well. The only small problem is with the camera: It can be very hard to see what’s coming up because of the way it moves, making playing much...
Read MoreHorrorscopes
By Colin Gagnon (1995) Horrorscopes simply predicts ridiculous events that ‘will’ happen based on your astrological sign. A neat toy, with pretty poor graphics worth looking at tho. Download Horrorscopes
Read MoreHero’s Heart
By Everett Kaser (1994) Hero’s Heart is a traditional pushing, block moving puzzle game. The object varies from level to level, but usually consists of collecting all of the hearts on the level and getting to the green exit.
