Originally posted by: Kagemusha Also, Strategic Simulations (SSL) I believe offered up a fine line of strategic (what else?) games, most notably games set in the D@D universe, I recall.
Of these, I would recommend hillsfar, Pool of Radiance, and Curse of the Azure Bonds. (if you are into RPGs). The nes versions are pretty awful, but the PC ones are pretty fun I thought. They let you keep your characters and move them through the different games.
I think the later games were better. The Krynn trilogy has nicely updated graphics versus the Azure Bonds series...and you get to fight more dragons!
cool guys thanks for all the tips. Ive never really been into RPG (never have the time lol) but i love shooters and side scrolling plat-formers the best. I got DOS but i need to get winzip to extract the files because my 45 day evaluation ran out. If anyone has a full version of winzip or knows of a place to get it for a nice deal *wink wink wink* please PM me :-)
Google 7zip...it's a free program that does everything Winzip does, plus extracts .rar files. Think it does .iso files as well, although I haven't tried to do that for some time
awesome man u guys know your crap, sorry ive been limping in the world of dial up forever and only have dsl @ work (STILL cant get it where i live can u believe that!) So my downloading knowledge is absent lol.
The first thing I was gonna say was commander keen. I was also a fan of the command and conquer series. There is a domination pack that has a bunch in one set. I was also liked the kings quest games. Sam and max was pretty ok too. If you are looking for c64 stuff, Robocop and double dragon are hilariously bad.
