Ancient Daggy Games

Anyone have any really old daggy games lying around? Bonus points if they're educational

I myself have Odell Down Under, Dinopark Tycoon, and Awesome Animated Monster Maker. Here is my review of all of them:

Odell Down Under: This game is sad. You take control of a fish and have to go eat things, without dying.

Dinopark Tycoon: This game is funky in a lame way. You own a dinosour theme park, and have to keep it together. I don't think I ever made a very successful park...

Awesome Animated Monster Maker: This game is funky is a lamer kind of way. Basically - you make monsters, clothe them, and whatnot. Bought it for 5 bucks...

And to my surprise, Octara has Odell Down Under too!
* Octara feels like playing Odell Down Under
<Aikanaro> LOL
<Aikanaro> As in, the game with the fish?
<Aikanaro> ^_^
<Octara> you got that game?
<Octara> yes :¬P
<Aikanaro> LMAO!
<Aikanaro> That game is seriously sad
<Octara> I know

 

I have a copy of "The Incredible Machine" somewhere. It is a game in which you had to use cartoon-like technology to solve puzzles or to create your own crazy contraptions... Now I feel nostalgic, probably I'll dig it up from under my bed and play a few levels.

 

i got the incredible machine too...its pretty fun for the type of game that it is

 

Found also Commander Keen 4. It had a built-in version of Pong accesible from the main menu... I remember I used to play that more than the C.K.4 game itself.

 

@colthrun, I did exactly the same thing, it was on his watch or something.

 

@colthrun and Morningstar, I also had Commander Keen 4, and you're both right the Pong game was sometimes more fun than the proper game lol. Ah nostalgia!

 

LOL i had a lot of Kommanda Keen games, I actually still does. maybe I should replay them some day.

 

I still have tons of old games, though I'm not sure if I have any lame ones. Maybe the Aladdin platformer- that was a good game. Or the EA Kids paint package.

 

I have Incredible Machine and Keen games as well. Ah, the days when Sierra actually made decent games.

In have three of the incredible machine games - the second one (that comes in the funky box), the third one (on cd, with loads of new items), and the "toon" one (Incredible Toon Machine).

I only have Commander Keen 1 and 4 though. I used to look forward to playing the whole series.

Cosmos (the green alien) was a fun platform game. I played that before I played Keen.

And there was also some game with some captain in space.. can't remember his name, but I do remember his theme song played by the PC speaker. Also a platform game, but the levels are not linear, so I never beat it because I don't know where to go!

 

Captain Comic?

 

Like many of you I have Commander Keen 4 and also 1.

I also have tonnes of old games for the Amiga! some of my favourite include:

Pac-man gotta love that yellow guy!
Mouse trap which I actually never completed.
Chaos Engine which is a very cool shoot 'em up.
A game like space invaders only more sycodelic!
And New Zealand Story, with that crazy Budgie
And last but not least The Froggy Mathematics game! Hours of fun!

I could go on but it would only make me go and find the Amiga...

 

It's not a budgie, it's a kiwi bird of course.

I have thousands of old daggy arcade games on my PC too.

 

I just remembered I had an old Spectrum game of Bruce Lee.

 

Yup it was Captain Comic! Just Googled it and there it was.

Bruce Lee? I have one on my Apple ][. Is it the one with the fat white guy and skinny black sword guy chasing you through all the levels?

 

Leisure Suit Larry 7, always fun to type the most strange words too get the girls naked, i have some tips about the game somewhere, but sadly it dissapeared a year ago in the thrash bin.

 

I guess me playing Warlords 2 counts, that game is so old, but still so cool. the whole great army, led by heroes, that can level up, carry bonus giving items, search dungeons etc. it still works

 

Ahh the good old days I think i still have warlords 2 on my machine somewhere, but any one remember the original Master of Orion?

 

The original green screen Castle Wolfenstein!

 

Strike Squad (1993). Probably *the* game with the most promise, and bugs.

It had everything I wanted in a game: squad level tactical combat in a sci-fi setting, characters with personalities and random quips, options for pause/real-time or turn based combat, stats galore.

It was also unplayable due to one of the worst interfaces ever seen and number of game engine problems and in-game bugs.

I still have the disks, although I used one of them as a boot disk as I ran out of 3.5" floppys. You can still get the game at underdogs. You'd think with today's technological advances they could make more games like this one, that actually works!
