Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me track down or at least identify a few old games I remember playing when I was little. It's difficult finding even a mention of them, not to mention a download. (I don't see them on the wanted page, either). To further complicate matters, my own memories are frequently hazy and incomplete. Here's what I remember:
- A shareware pong game with color graphics and *lots* of 'extras': curved paddles, moving 'goal posts' along the walls, and various features such as teleports, speedups, slowdowns, and powerups (including one to multiply the number of balls) strewn about the playing area. Unfortunately I can't remember the name.
- A crazy game called 'The Womb'. At the time I didn't even know what a womb was, it was just this exceptionally weird game. You had to guide a little ball, which in retrospect was an egg, along these strange courses, which in retrospect were the female reproductive organs. When you 'died' it said "this is the end" in a characteristic voice.
- The first Cyclone. I can see Cyclone II on this site, but not the original.
- There was a yahtzee game which loudly said "YAAAHTZEEEE" whenever you got one. It might've been one of the ones on this site, and I might check, but none of the screenshots are familiar.
- There was a black and white game where you had a frontal view of the inside of a house, with two or more stories. There were various items on each of the stories, such as a butler, a painting, a safe, a bird cage, a couch, or that sort of thing. I think there were secrets hidden in some of the items, which you had to uncover. I'm not sure what the game was actually about.
- Finally, my haziest memory is of a game where you controlled a diver, who was in a black swimsuit. The water, surprisingly, was blue. I think you had to dive down to the sea floor to get something and then back up, but my brain might just be making that up. Unfortunately I remember very little else about this one. But there probably aren't that many games about divers.
These are the ones I can remember. The scarier thing is that there are probably more that I've forgotten entirely.
Apologies if any of this was covered in a previous thread -- I did a brief search based on keywords, not finding anything, and looking through all of the threads seemed like it would take a lot of time.
Thanks,
Gábor
