The object of Pacman-like Wilf is to cover each of the levels/mazes with jam (dropped as you move around) and avoid the various enemies ("Glumphs"). Its CGA graphics combined with SoundBlaster sounds (a rarity at the time the game was programmed) add to t

VLAK is one of the few games on this site that is not in English, but that won't prevent you from playing it. A takeoff of the old Snake/Nibbles game, the object here is to collect the various gems on each level and then make your way to the exit. Each ge
VGA Sharks is a simplistic action game from Alive Software (now "Alivesoft"). The aim of the game is to collect various marine creatures and return them safely to your shark-proof cage while avoiding the sharks. The graphics and sounds of this game are no
Wow! This is new ... and addicting! Really an original idea. You have to use your ship to grab colored balls that are floating around and deliver them to the correct colored hand on the side of the screen. I realize that won't help you very much, but chec
This game is a pretty unique concept that's hard to explain. The object is to guide your worm ("UrthWurm") through the level, trying to avoid obstacles. The game is played using only one key: Your worm falls toward the ground unless you press the Spacebar
Tunneler is a simple 2-player (on the same computer) tank battle game. It's somewhat similar to the original "Tanks" game, the object is to move your tank around and destroy your opponent's tank. The twist here is that the players must tunnel through the
This is a pretty cool action game that reminds me a bit of the old tabletop game "Crossfire" where the object was to knock a ball into your opponent's net by firing little metal ball bearings at it. This game is quite fun. It's colorful and has good sound
Threat is a top-down shooting game. Although each level has its own mission, generally speaking your goal is to shoot stuff! The graphics and sounds for this game are great, although the difficultly level (even on "easy") is rather high. It would have hel
The Tomb (not to be confused with Pharaoh's Tomb ... see the screenshot if you're not sure) is a remake of, or at least highly influenced by, the Tutankhamen arcade/home video game that was originally released in 1982. This version plays quite well, altho
This game is supposedly a version of the arcade classic "Xonix" ... however, you may know this game (as I do) by the name "Qix". Whatever it's called, it's a fun game. The object is to cut off as much of the gameboard as possible while not being caught by
The object of this unusual game is to keep swatting bugs (flies) until you can swat the "Super Fly" and move on to the next level. While this is an action game, strategy is also involved, because as you swat flies, they stay on the screen and block your m
Stalactites is a fairly unique action game that is somewhat hard to describe. It plays like the type of game you might find on the Atari 2600, and the author describes it as "A cross between Tempest and Break-Out". Erm, not really. But anyways it's kinda
If you've ever wanted to play a strange cross between Pac-Man and Qix, this is the game for you! :) This game involves moving around the playing field in a Pac-Man like manner, but instead of collecting dots, the object is to trace around squares. The gam
If you can remember playing QBert, and would like to experience a similar game, you may want to try SpryJinx. It's similar to that classic game in that it involves jumping from tile to tile, but here the screen scrolls upward, each tile is worth a differe
Despite the opportunities presented to make fun of its name ... this game really is enjoyable. You play Willy, and you must shoot spitwads at bouncing balls. Each time you hit a large one, it splits into two smaller ones. And so on. Whenever you split one
