Help me find some classic games!

Post by Lost-Prophet »

I'm a big fan of classic gaming and would like to start finding some old games I used to love playing. When we got our first computer (1994?) We got a disk full of DOS games but unfortunately I cannot rememember the name. I believe we brought it from toys 'R' Us. The CD was basic with black and red on (all I can remember). Some of the games that were on it:
- Crystal caves
- Jazz Jack Rabbit
- Pickle Wars
- Jill Of The Jungle
- PC-Man
- Whacky Races
There's one game I particulary remember which I adored. All I can remember was it was an adventure game where you played as children in trees :(. Can anyone hock me up with a name? It would be highly appriciated!

Is it still possible to get full copies of these? The trials stink! (I would love a Jazz Jack Rabbit, PC-Man and especially Crystal Caves in full)

As Check-Mate noted, the shareware/freeware (or "trials") of these games are available on DOSGames.com. As for the registered versions, you may be able to find copies of these on eBay for cheap. Otherwise:

- Crystal caves
- Whacky Races
$10/each to download at 3D Realms store:
http://www.buy3drealms.com/dowit.html
You can also get 'em for $10/+shipping on floppy disks (Crystal Caves) or CD (Whacky Wheels):
http://www.buy3drealms.com/games.html

- Jazz Jack Rabbit
- Jill Of The Jungle
Both available from Epic Classics, the legal distributor of Epic's old games. Jazz goes for $25 for a CD with all nine episodes, Jill is $19 for floppy disks:

- Pickle Wars
Still suprisingly available to buy online, the link on the MVP Software site brings you here:
http://shareit1.element5.com/programs.h ... tid=139589
$19.95, plus $5/shipping if you want it mailed to you on CD instead of downloading.

- PC-Man
If you mean Pac PC, it's freeware. If you mean one of the 100+ other pacman clones, I dunno which one you mean. :)

Hope this helps :jester:

Do you mean Wacky Wheels or Wacky Races?

You can get Pickle Wars for only $12.00 on it's official website.
