Does anybody still play this gem?

Also, did anybody remeber a game called something like 'zeb' (it began with z)? Googled the shit out of it and found 0
It was a jungle platformer with guns

How does this 'zeb' play like? Are you sure it's not 'jezzb'?

DOSBox can do Win 95 games?

I mean, way long time ago, I beat it. I still remember the Eureka moment when I realized the invisible maze in Totally Unfair is exactly the same as the visible one in Totally Fair. It's a great game, but puzzlers in general don't have a huge amount of replay value to me.

16-bit is Windows 3.1 stuff

I loved this game back in the day, I almost made a post in a "games you thought only you played thread" about this one the other day cause I've never heard anyone else talk about it on here.

Well, yeah, but it's got to run in DOS for that. Me, I'd love to find a thing that runs Win 3.1-95 games without having to do a virtual machine.

You can run Windows 3.1 in Dosbox.

I think he wants to run 16-bit Windows applications on a 64-bit system directly, someone should write a wrapper for those apps.

I'm stuck on "Blobdance", which is less about skill or puzzle solving and more about patience. The more I die the less patient I get, so there's no point in attempting it multiple times in a single sitting, and I'm too stubborn to skip a level.

Most of the levels are fun though. But fuck Blobdance.

I loved the fuck out of Chip's Challenge when I was younger.
A while back I got into Tile World (open source recreation)
even tried porting it to DS, but I abandoned it due to lack of interest.
The lynx version was superior though.

Is Tile World worth a try?

>> No.513632

>>513597
yeah, its a very accurate clone.
Plus you don't need to emulate anything, just copy Chips.dat from the pc game, and perhaps get an alternate tile set.
It's really no different from the original games.

Zeb was bundled with Klik and Plays 'the Games Factory', if i recall correctly.

Like someone else said, Zeb came with The Games Factory as an example game
