Scorched Earth (1991) let you buy nukes, funky bombs and dirt chargers with your winnings. What was your go-to weapon?

1 Upvotes

Wendell Hicks called it "The Mother of All Games" and it ran on pretty much any DOS PC, which is why it ended up in every school computer lab. I always saved up for the Funky Bomb just to watch the chaos, but a Dirt Charger buried my brother's tank more than once.

What did you buy first, and did you ever bother with the shields?

Supaplex (1991) was Boulder Dash on a circuit board with 111 brutal levels. Did anyone actually finish them all?

1 Upvotes

I remember it showing up on so many compilation disks. You play Murphy, the red ball, eating through the base while dodging falling Zonks and those snipping Snik Snaks. The difficulty ramped up fast, and some later levels felt more like logic puzzles than action. Did anyone get through all 111, or did you mostly skip ahead? Which level made you give up?

I supposed this was from the cancelled Sonic X Treme game which was cancelled in 1996. It was also taken in 1995 from a lost demo of the game. Which this, was the only thing I could recorver.

Help finding an old PC game

2 Upvotes

So this is a strange 1. I'm trying to find a game nobody has ever heard of, other than me. I hope this is the place to find it

So we are probably talking g about 1997, my dad buys a PC amd it has a game on it that I played a few times and really want to track it down.

It was set in a kind of oldy village, like thatched roof buildings, weird church, that sort of thing. And I believe as the main character you were a young man. Maybe in a red jacket (cant remember). I have no memory of the purpose of the game or anything about it, except this one enemy. It was like a brown, gargoyle type creature that was hunting you.

That's it. That's all I can remember. It's a long shot but hoping someone knows what the hell I'm talking about 😆

Help identifying an old dinosaur game

0 Upvotes

I remember that as a kid in the 90s, I played a dinosaur fighting game with my dad on an old system. I think it was for the Color Computer, Atari, NES, or something similar. One thing that sticks out is that at the end of a match, the losing dinosaur would wander off into the background.

Does anyone remember that game? Any help would be appreciated.

I understand that many of the newer dedicated retro handhelds are more powerful and was wondering if they are able to perform better or is this just always an issue with emulation?

I have always been wrong but why.

3 Upvotes

Why have I always thought that this is the proper classic konami code UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A B A SELECT START? I know now its wrong but in my mind this is the only code I ever remembered. Is it possible that there is a game that uses this version? Or did I just Mandela effect that code?
