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)

If you look at the games right here on this site, you wouldn't have to be asking. Most of those games are right here...
Honestly, how lazy can people get?...
You probably want a link, as well...cause you're probably lazy....Ok, here's a link:

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.
