Dune ![]() It may not stand up to modern gaming in terms of the graphics, but it was an ace little addictive game that you couldn’t stop playing. The first episode has you rescuing eight sages, who will help you stop the Shikadi from destroying the galaxy. Wasn’t there some kind of FBI raid at the time that seized all the master disks?Ĭommander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy was the third game in the Commander Keenseries, and one of the more popular. The only way you can pay him back is to buy drugs from one location, and sell them for more in another location. That didn’t stop a lot of us from buying the disk from computer fairs though.īasically the immoral storyline has you as a small-time drug dealer, in debt up to your eyeballs with a loan shark. Still, an ace game.įurther Reading: PC Building Guide – be quiet! Pure Base 600 Case 49. Dope WarsĪnother DOS game that caused something of a stir from various focus groups, churches, parents against things corrupting their young and pretty much everyone on the planet with a moral consciousness. It wasn’t one to show your mother, and I vaguely recall there being some Mary Whitehouse-like backlash from the idea that you’re setting fire to government buildings. To help you further the conflagration, there were petrol cans lying around that could be picked up and spilt to help the fire spread to the corners of the floor. ![]() The idea was simple: you needed to set fire to the entire floor, destroying virtually everything in the floor while you legged it down the stairs to the next level. Behind you was a fuse that had a flame following it after a few seconds of starting the level. You were a pink square that needed to be controlled around the floorplans of various government buildings. There are 2 adventures in this game, with only the first adventure playable in the shareware version.It was pretty basic looking, even for an early DOS game. It doubled the default game speed, added joystick support, changed some of the voices and sound effects, made three rooms easier and added a save point to another. In 1999, version 2.0 was released for Win32. Version 1.5 added background music and save points, improved the sound effects and allowed multiple sounds to play simultaneously, allowed MicroMan to have more shots on the screen at a time, made the animation even smoother, and made three rooms much easier. There are platforms that will only move when MicroMan is standing on them, and platforms that will only move when he isn't standing on them. Changes from the demo include the addition of springboards, invisible platforms, and new enemies. It features a variety of mechanical enemies, three weapon upgrades, a super jump ability and a shield, moving platforms, platforms that fade in and out of existence, transporters, a mirror room where MicroMan is mirrored vertically and horizontally, and a total of 54 rooms and three bottomless pits. The hero, Bob Jones, was shrunk to micron size as part of an experiment, and is now trapped in a computer full of unfriendly robots. The Adventures of MicroMan is a complete game built with Brian Goble's Windows Animation Package, based on an earlier playable demo called MicroMan. ![]()
