Is there any way I can get them free? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #4 December 2, 2004 Come to think of it, I miss playing these old games from the early to mid-90's - Wolfenstein, Doom & Doom II. I believe these were the original blood and gore games... Loads of fun, especially if you knew the cheat keywords...

AggieDave 6 #5 December 2, 2004 There was a text based game I had in 1986 or 87 sometimes around then for my Apple IIGs that was Rambo 1st blood part 2...I've been wanting to come across a copy of that I could run for a while now...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

ChasingBlueSky 0 #20 December 2, 2004 I miss two games from my old MAC classic - Hitchhikers Guide text adventure...and the other I can't remember the name of it but you were a little stick figure guy that had to do a lot of jumping puzzles thru a castle (IIRC). For PC I want the old DOS game Budokhan. I finally found someone with Covert Action earlier this year. Also, I've wanted to play the old Commodore 64 games I used to have as well - like Spy V Spy! I have the Atari Classics on my laptop ($20 for 80 games), and there is the Intellivision collection (I still want Bump N Jump and Lock N Chase) for PC and XBox. I just saw the Activision pack for the PC as well._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
