/vr/ - Retro Games

Am I the only one that played this? This is my fondest PC gaming memory as a kid. Got it in a Mindscape pack that included mostly shareware versions of games and shovelware.

I remember back when I was like 6, we had an Acer computer with Windows 95 on there. There was this frontend by Acer that hid all the Windows stuff and included a lot of software. I remember there was Descent, Tyrian, a licensed Are You Afraid of the Dark game, and some point-and-click edutainment shit about exploring the airport, and many others that I no longer remember.

Later on, my mom and/or grandparents bought my older brother a pack of games, mostly made by Mindscape. I remember Megarace, D/Generation, The Psychotron, and Crystal Caliburn Pinball. It also came with Dragon's Lore, Ultimate Domain, and Pac-in-Time, but those never worked on our machine. It had some others too that I don't remember.

The main game I remember loving from these game packs was Commander Blood. It was a point-and-click game with a futuristic science fiction setting. The FMVs blew me away. The characters blew me away. The gameplay wasn't much, but I was a young kid at the time, so I didn't know any better. I never played the prequel Captain Blood, and the sequel is French only.

Does anyone remember these games or did any of you buy game packs? What other games were often included in these packs?
