When i was younger i used to play a game which i think was a msdos game.At the start of the game you could choose one of 3 characters and i also remener that they had a special move to defeat enemies and one of them was a fat guy which farts to defeat the enemies . the game played i think in a dungeon and you had to get to the next door or stairs to get to the next level there was also a special move when you collected 5 items i think so you could summon a dragon which defeats every enemie in the level
thanks for your help

Hey, I am new here...does anybody know an old PC game platafoer that took place in a jungle or temple and you were some type of ninja or explorer and you had to kill other players or you could also play wit an ai ? You could also create or edit the levels in which some of them where full of traps
EDIT: 3 Minutes Later I see a video suggestion on Youtube with that game. Its called "Stanley: The Search for Dr. Livingston - 1992"
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a game around the years 1988-1990 or so(maybe, I dont know the year because I was playing it around 1994ish). The platform I believe was Nes Family Computer. The game was an adventure game and was side view like Mario. You were in control of an explorer character like Indiana Jones. And you were essentially exploring various caves, and you had to climb ladders, and go under water and come up in another cave. There were various monsters around that were manly passive/aggressive. They weren't attacking you unless you were beside them (usually like slimes, spiders,cave bats). It was like a side view version of Minecraft essentially.
I vaguely remember that there was a city where you bought various supplies and tools (rope, hooks, ladder, parachute).(Maybe i'm wrong and its another game, i'm not sure)
What I remember in addition is that the character had a helicopter like propeller on the back in order to decent into caves and climb up to various trees or something. I remember playing it very little because by that time we bought Mega Drive and the graphics of Sonic were much more interesting.
I hope I gave enough info so people might remember that game.

Hello everyone,
First of all, very cool thread, Very helpfull I found atleast a dozen games I forgot about.
I searched a while througout the pages but couldn't find the game I was looking for, so here it is.
It's an early 90's PC game (perhaps even late 80's) where you play as a ball shaped floating character (if I'm not mixing things up) and you have different kind of objects in each "level/screen" like boxes and balls (if I'm not mistaken cereal boxes and stuff). When you click it/bump into it, it shoots away and you can hit enemies like bees etc. There was one level, where you can enter some sort cave, on the bottom there was some sort of item/key but the screen turned red slowly so you had to act fast to retrieve the item. Last thing I remember was the 'drunken sailor tune' - midi style haha.
I know it's a vague request but that's all I can remember. thnx in advance guys. (And sorry about my english)

There is an old pc game that was set in feudal japan I think. It had an overarching story line but would allow you to sneak into a rivals house at night and try to assassinate him, have one on one samurai duels, could shoot others in a rice patty/village area with arrows, etc
@diablo rules:
Followed up about the wizard minesweeper game since I was home for a day and could search for the disc. Found it!
Disc was indeed '300 favorite games' by Expert Software, the 'about' section produces this info:
"300 Favorite Games Version 1.00
Copyright (C) Aludra Software, 1997
Programmed by John Wong"
It's actually a collection of mostly DOS games with an occasional windows game thrown in - that's why we couldn't find it in DOS games lists. Sorry about the misinformation on that front.
Game in question is called Quenzar's Caverns. Can't currently run it in any of the forms I have available on this PC, too modern, but for reference, this is the game: https://archive.org/details/QuenzarsCaverns_1020
Thanks again for all the help!

Glad you've been able to find it! I saw a playthrough on youtube and yes that's the image I had of the game maybe I was expecting a bit more graphics on it. I had the feeling that it was a Windows game because, man,..I really checked out all those DOS games!fogmike said:
If you really want to play this game again, you can always use a Win 3.1x installation in DOS Box to run it.fogmike said:
(Info how to do that is easily found. And a recommended read so you don't eff up your system...)

Hey everyone!
I'm trying to track down an old DOS game that I played as a child, it was a top-down view driving game with VERY basic graphics (basically coloured lines on a black background). The racetrack was the main obstacle, because if you touched the edge you lost. Every now and then other cars would appear which you had to avoid. The only other thing I remember about it is that the command to open the .exe was "racecar"
Does this ring any bells for people?
