DOS Full Version: CD Man [1992] (Action) January 21, 2012
Happy New Year! Time for another game update. A blatant PacMan clone, CD Man is a free version from game developer Creative Dimensions. There are 5 levels in the game, and instead of chomping ghosts you have to eat spiders. Mmmm, protein! I will try to add some more games soon. It has been a busy month at work!

Windows 3.1 Demo: Prairie Dog Hunt [1993] (Action) October 2, 2011
I had forgotten about Prairie Dog Hunt until I recently saw it on another retro games site. The concept is extremely simple. You point and click to shoot prairie dogs! There are three levels of difficulty, and three types of gun to use, which give you different points based on the degree of difficulty. That is about it. Oh, and watch out for the rabid prairie dogs! They really bite.

DOS Full Version: Wings [1996] (Action) September 12, 2011
The update today, Wings, is pretty simple. You fly a small triangle around while trying not to crash into walls. Apparently the game was released originally in 1996, and then released as freeware in 2001. There isn't much to it, but the grahpics are nice and the game is easy to get used to. I have some trouble with the controls, but once you have played for a while you get the hang of flying your little V plane.

DOS Shareware Version: Black Star: Agent of Justice [1995] (Adventure) September 8, 2011
In Black Star: Agent of Justice game you play as Blackstar, a Native American who dabbles in a bit of everything to earn his living. Like all adventure games, you must solve puzzles to progess in the game. I have only played a bit of the game, but it plays well and is pretty funny to boot! This game is supposedly rated PG-13.

DOS Full Version: Word Whiz [1988] (Puzzle) August 30, 2011
Today's update has more nostalgic value than replay value. In Word Whiz you must answer a series of multiple choice questions. I believe there are 400 total questions in this game. Apogee released this game as freeware in 2005, and the source code was released under the GPL in 2009. Go get your nerd on!

DOS Full Version: Dragonsphere [1994] (Adventure) August 24, 2011
Wow! It has been quite a busy month for me! I am forcing myself to do an update. I hadn't heard of Dragonsphere until recently, but just from the small dose of screenshots that I have seen I can tell that this is an epic game. As the title might suggest, this game involves a king, a queen, and an evil sorcerer. The game uses the point-and-click interface that was all the rage in 1994. The current license holder, Good Old Games, released this game as freeware in May of 2011.

Win 3.1 Demo: The Incredible Toon Machine [1994] (Puzzle) July 7, 2011
In The Incredible Toon Machine you use an arsenal of items in order to guide a cat or mouse to a goal in a Rube Goldberg-esque series of events. The animations that ensue as various items are activated are the main appeal of this puzzle game. With items like the Chow-Man Motor and the Skeleto-Bobbin, this game brings out a the creativity in all who play.

DOS Full Version: Troll's Tale [1984] (Adventure) June 19, 2011
One of the early adventure titles from Sierra and Al Lowe, Troll's Tale is rather primitive by today's standards, but is a fine example of the state of PC gaming circa the mid-1980s. The storyline is simple; a troll has hidden 15 treasures and you must search across the kingdom to find them. I don't think you can die in this game, which makes it a little less frustrating than some of the later Sierra titles.

DOS Full Version: Teen Agent [1996] (Adventure) June 18, 2011
Well, I've been busier than I thought with my new house. I'll try to update at least once a month. Hopefully I will have time to do more than that. Teen Agent is a hilarious and somewhat cheesy adventure game from the mid-1990's. I have only played a small part of this game, but it made me laugh right from the start. If you can get past the strange puzzles, this is a worthwile and entertaining game.

Windows 95 Demo: Fury 3 [1995] (Flight Sim) May 10, 2011
Oh hai! It's good to be back! I spent the last few weeks moving into my new house. Now that I have settled-in a little more, the updates can resume. The update today, Fury 3, is the evil twin of Terminal Velocity. Both are similar in gameplay; your basic shoot-em-up flight simulator with simple controls such as boost and change-weapon. The grahpics aren't too hard on the eye (by 1995 standards).
