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 MoreHappyland Adventures
By Johan Peitz (unknown) With nice looking graphics and fun sound effects/music, this game is quite enjoyable to play.

Read MoreGripple
By Doug Beeferman (1991) The author claims that this simple colour-matching puzzle game is based on an old pocket game of the same name by a company called ‘M-Squared Incorporated’. This is not a bad game at all, basically you match colors by rotating the pieces around . As usual with puzzle games, poor graphics, no sound, etc. but it might be a fun diversion for puzzle fans.

Read MoreFrogger
By SEGA Entertainment/Sierra online (1983) This classic arcade game was brought to DOS in 1983, two years after it was first invented. The game is simple: make it across the street without becoming road kill, then make it across the river onto one of five openings Download Frogger
Read MoreFowl Play
By MOPS Computer Systems Inc (1983) Frogger. That’s pretty much all you need to know about this game. Okay, I’ll tell you a little more. This 1983 game has CGA 4-color graphics and is quite similar to the classic Frogger game but the levels have slightly different layouts. (Watch out for the train …) It plays fine, although you’ll need to slow it down to run it on modern...
Read MoreExecutioners
By Bloodlust Software (1992) Definitely a unique game. This one is a fighting game along the lines of Final Fight or Double Dragon. It has great VGA graphics (considering it was created in 1992!) and SB sound effects. Download Executioners
Read MoreElectranoid
By Pixel Painters (1994) Another Breakout/Arkanoid clone, this time from the under-appreciated game design group Pixel Painters. This one looks pretty good, and has a lot of fancy animations, sounds/music, etc. Unfortunately it’s not possible to skip the animations that occur during the game which can be annoying; but other than that minor quibble, the game plays quite well and includes...
Read MoreDuck Hunt
By ALO-Software Inc (1993) This is a very simplistic ASCII-mode game, where a single ‘duck’ flies across the screen and you must hit the spacebar to shoot it down. Other than its theme, it’s not very much similar to the NES classic, but I’m always intrigued by ASCII mode games, and the presentation of the game is done fairly well. Download Duck Hunt (Mega-Upload) Download...
Read MoreDangerous Dave
By John Romero (1990) A somewhat average EGA sidescroller created by Apogee right around the same time as the first Keen game was release. If you’re looking for a good EGA platformer, try it out. Note that it can be annoying at times, since the gameplay predates Keen. Download Dangerous Dave (Mega-Upload) Download Dangerous Dave...
Read MoreClassic Jumpman
By Ingenieurbüro FRANKE (1999) Classic Jumpman is a remake of the classic Jumpman game. Anyways, this remakes captures almost exactly the look/feel/sounds etc of the original PC game, and should run on most modern computers. Download Classic Jumpman (Mega-Upload) Download Classic Jumpman...
