I remember playing a Golden Axe clone on a black & green monitor. Don't remember the name though.

I found this in my old highschool along with an NES (Yes, our woodshop instuctor had an NES in his office.) About this disk, I can find nothing.

Here's the Apple II version, but there's no video online of the PC port.

Go get a USB floppy drive off of Fleabay if you don't have an old PC to read it with.

Go get a USB floppy drive off of Fleabay if you don't have an old PC to read it with. Actually, the PC version isn't online anywhere as far as I can tell, so it would be really nice if you could archive the disk for us.

>>4861593
I've only ever seen one guy around here who'd played Bad Street Brawler and that's saddening.

>>4861789
And not a one that had played Arctic Fox. Even common stuff like Zaxxon or Spyhunter is kinda rare. Most dudes here are primarily into consoles..

>>4861797
3-Demon used to freak me the heck out too

>>4861797
I fucking artic Fox. Guided missile was the best, basically a flight simulator.

The King of DOS fighters.

Classic.

Wasted so much time in school on this one.

>>4862205
Street rod was my shit for a while. Can remember having a huge case of floppies and you’d have to dig out the appropriate discs for each game lol.

I can remember doom on floppy and a few others. Games like Descent, duke Nukem had already moved onto CD’s

>>4861886
Fuck yes it was. Except a lot more fun than the real flight simulator which I also played a fair bit of but was pretty tedious.

>>4862461
loved this game

Move aside, boys

>people posting Apogee games in an obscure retro PC game thread
Sopwith is my nomination. I usually say EGA Trek as well, but that was actually a very popular game, just no one here knows about it. Sopwith is a surprisingly good 2D biplane flight game, where trying to fly straight up will lead to a stall and most likely death. Balls hard, but still pretty fun for a simple '84 game.

>>4862691

I used to play that all the time.

Also, Digger.

I think both Sopwith and Digger are the first PC games I've ever played.

>>4862703
That made me just hear the death song. Ahhhhh digger!

>>4862216
Skyroads was in no way obscure my man.
Actually, a lot of games ITT weren't obscure.

>>4862254
I loved xargon as a kid, never completed it as i only had the shareware at the time.

I recently hunted down two obscure games i recalled playing as a kid:
Skunny Desert Raid
Skunny Save our Pizzas
Both cheap knockoffs but i spent many hours on them.

A rather fun game for a food company, a few rough edges but i probably spent 50 hours on it in school.

A bit of a terminal velocity knockoff, bundled with a microsoft sidewinder 3d pro joystick.

This one was pretty awesome (and dark) as a kid. I've never seen it mentioned by anyone else.

>>4862197
>customizable robots
>girls

I like this already, what is it

>>4863495
Well, that along with Terminal Velocity and Fury3 were all made by the same company. so I don't it's a knockoff.

>>4862487
It was pretty amazing in It's time to feel like your computer was really the cockpit of an airplane and knowing that to fly it properly you had to know how to fly. The first version I had was just flying but one of the later ones I got had dog fighting and that was hard as fuck.

>>4861789
I had it for my C64. It was one of the first games I've ever played.

>>4863603
I played all 3 and never realized that, now i feel silly thinking microsoft made hellbender!

>>4863536
asking this again

>>4861593
Killer Crayon, it was really just tron.

>>4862216

piss off

This, along with Millenium 2.2, even though I got born in 1999, I still grew up with these, AOE1 and Doom, so not complaining in the slightest.

One Must Fall: 2097

>>4862197
Shiii, I played this all the time.

>>4862194

>>4863649
That warms my cockles

>>4862197

I played it on PC as a young kid, probably around 25 years ago.

Took me forever to work out how to play it but beat it in the end.

Good shit anon.

Long shot, anyone remember a pc side scrawler where to get a 1 up/continue, you had to press down on a mini jumping version of yourself 3 times?

Character kind of looked like Ryu, and have an overworkd map like DKC but less interactive.

This game is cray.

>obscure games
>people STILL posting Apogee titles
Next time try all caps OP.

>>4866309
>floppy version
One of the first CD-ROM games I played. The CD-ROM drive used was one of those that used disc caddy's you put the CD into, then loaded into the drive's slot. Win 3.1 machine. Good memories.

Too bad the game was just the first walking simulator where you just wander around and look at stuff. Didn't even have an ending or anything to unlock. Still neat game for a young kid who had only seen Atari 2600 and NES before. Can't really recommend it to anyone over the age of 6 though.

Got another title for the thread. Army/Campaign. It's an old shareware title by a single programmer, complete with "please address your checks to (me) at (my actual house)" since they used to be able to do that back in the day without people SWAT-ing them. It's a painfully simple game too. Soldiers, Calvary, Cannons, and your Commander, two sides, both sides have the exact same units, and the maps are rather simple as well. Combat and movement are both handled by the five dice you get to roll at the beginning of your turn. If attacked, the unit gets to roll a die to counter whatever you or the AI threw at it. Higher number does more damage, but the unit itself also makes a difference. A 1 from a Soldier is the weakest, a 6 from a Cannon is the strongest. You move the number of spaces on the die if you choose to move with it instead of attack. Whoever kills the opposing commander first wins. Still, pretty good fun for a 1-man dev team DOS shareware title, if shallow. Pic related is Red's turn.

I had a shareware CD with some stuff like Jazz Jackrabbit and [some chick] of the Jungle (sheena, Jane?).
But the game I'm looking for is a vector graphic race game, I think with the word cycle in the title. You'd ride on ramps and loops and curves and everything was on vector graphics.

I have looked on multiple freeware/shareware/abandonware sites and haven't found a lick of info on it.

Please, somebody recognize it. Its been 25 years and I haven't forgot it. I'm almost at the point where I think I imagined it or something.

badger trails for the acorn computer
got a floppy of it somewhere, never got it to work on my pc, afaicr the disk was formatted by my younger self :/

Sorry can’t help you with the rest brah.

>>4861719
I have an old Windows 2000, just not hooked up right now. I will archive it soon.

>>4866404
Like Stunts or Race Drivin'?

>>4863495
Pretty sure the demo for this was bundled with every copy of Windows 95.

>>4861789
My aunt had a computer back in 1990-or so. I have no Idea what it was. It had DOS but it had some other OS that wasn't windows. the CD-Roms needed to be placed into a caddy first before putting them into the drive.

There was a disc that had a ton of games, Bad Street Brawler, 221B Baker Street, Willow, lots of others...

One that I cant track down again was some game in which everyone was stick figures and you were a spy, the enemies would ask to see your identification and say "you papers appear to be in order" or notice you were a spy and catch you

I used to play a pang clone all the time when I was a kid. Instead of shooting harpoons the character had a blowgun and the balls were green in the beginning and didn't pop like balloons.

>>4869343
I finally found it again. Pea Shootin' Pete. Not sure if it was actually freeware but it came in those cd-rom magazines that had loads of games.

>>4862493
fuck

>>4863620
We never had MSF but I had a copy of stunt plane growing up and that one was awesome. You could fly through barns and stuff in it and it had biplanes as well as stuff like migs.

>>4861789
We used to play this in HS on our c64; it was called Street Hassle in Europe. Pretty funny game, you had different moves in each level, and it controlled well. Later found out there were NES and DOS versions too.

>>4862194
Loved it, holds up well even today

>>4862197
It's good, i liked you could play VS with a pair of 2 button joysticks and a Y-splitter

Imperial conquest 2. came on a CD that had over 300 games on it. never found a full version, even on abandonware sites. can only find demo.

Comfy thread.
