Hey

Does anyone still play these?

Just an image below of Commander Keen Episode 1 which is a fun game when you want to kill time.

Anyone else nostalgic of such types of games?

I know 3D took over with popularity. There was Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake and ascending. But these above games are still enjoyable. Need that time to kill as a stress relief!

Bless you Skyline.

Why is that?

The one I posted you can download for free and use DosBox on a windows platform or Boxer on a Mac OS X :)

I just can't get into them like I used to.
I play them for a few minutes and give up.
They are also ******* solid. No idea how I completed some of them as a kid. I get frustrated when playing them now!

There's other games that came out over the years.

Some of the above can take just maybe 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete :)

You had all that spare time :)

I have probably played only one platform game, Prince of Persia II. It was also one of few games I got to the end scene and without any help. Played it on Macintosh that was known for much nicer graphics than PCs

Thanks for sharing the old school games fellas.

If you feel the need to play any, you can download DosBox from the below

There's also Boxer on MAC OS X which I posted on another thread some weeks ago.

This one blew my mind. Jill of the Jungle
