Prepare to be disappointed. I am not a gamer AT ALL and I only put a few of the most simple little games up here. This is the least developed section of the repository and probably always will be.
- Champ Galagon - A Galaga clone
- You know how to play Galaga
- A bit slow under emulation.
- Dr Mind Lite - A Mastermind clone
- Dr. Mind is a PC adaptation of the Mastermind (TM) board game. The computer generates a secret color code, then the player has to figure out the exact pattern through deduction.
- Keyboard controls: arrows, return and escape. TIP: The UP arrow key cycles through colors.
- The game comes in two versions: the normal release and a “LITE” variant. The LITE version is the same thing, but with pictures removed - may be handy for computers that have extremely limited storage.
- This package ONLY contains the lite version.
- Drobos - Daleks for DOS
- You find yourself on an open field surrounded by hordes of hostile creatures.
- You have no weapons, no cover, nowhere to run, no future.
- Let’s face it, you already lost!
- ALL you have is your brilliant mind to REVENGE your coming annihilation.
- Freeware.
- Ford Driving Simulator
- If you weren’t able to visit your local Ford dealer, you could test drive several Ford models on your computer.
- This was meant as a car driving simulator, not a game - but it certainly played like a game.
- Also has stats and details about Ford’s 1988 models.
-
Life2 - A text-mode version of Conway’s Game of Life.
-
Mahjong! - Based on the popular Chinese tile game Mahjong and attempts to closely approximate play of that game on your PC.
- Shareware.
- Mine Mayhem - Minesweeper clone.
- Freeware by Jason Hood.
- Nero 5 - Chess program.
- Move your pieces with ARROW KEYS and ENTER.
- During play Nero writes down the played moves into the file ‘WEPLAYED.TXT’ so you can watch them later (or view with some PGN reading program.)
- ShuffleV 1.1 - Tile shuffling game.
- Freeware for non-commercial purposes by J R Ferguson.
- Click a number joining the empty field to shift it, or use the cursor keys.
- Order the numbers from low to high, in rows left to right and columns top to bottom. The empty field must be in the lower-right corner.
- Towers of Hanoi 1.3
- Freeware by J R Ferguson
- A classical recursive algorithm for which a ‘legend’ was thought up. In Hanoi there would be monks that have a sheer inhuman task: Nine stone disks, all with a different diameter and a hole in the middle, are piled on a pole, the smallest op top. Two more poles are placed beside it. The task consists of moving all disks from the leftmost to the rightmost pole, using the middle pole as a place to store disks in-between.
- There are two rules that must be observed:
- Only one disk can be moved at a time.
- Never place a disk on top of one that is smaller.
- According to the legend, the world will be at end when this task is done.
- TypeFast - a text mode Typing tutor game.
- It’s a GAME (not boring drills) that’s a cross between a touch-typing program and “Space Invaders”.
- Words appear in random places on the screen and slowly move down.
- You have to type them correctly to blow them up before they reach the “ground” (a line at the bottom of the screen).
- There are several degrees of difficulty.
