> Anyone care to share, recommend, etc. their favorite EGA or VGA games? > I just got my EGA monitor & card and I'm looking for some variety. > I also would like to get some of the classics sush as: Asteroids, Breakout, > Donkey Kong, Centipede, Space Invaders, Missle Command, Etc. Does anyone > know of public domain software like this? Can it be found anywhere? > Any help would be appreciated. > To start with a classic of the classics: A VGA-only Pacman called EAT IT. It is just that, a basic Pacman with no extra features, but quite playable. And then there is an Invaders game, (ta-daa) CLONE INVADERS. It can use almost any graphics adapter, including the multi-colour mode of VGA (MCGA). If you like Asteroids, EGAROIDS is a game for you. It is a very basic Asteroids game with no sounds or anything like that. You can get Arkanoid for PC, but I don't think it's shareware. But there is a game called BANANOIDS. It looks fantastic, it uses 256 colours (sorry, it doesn't run on EGA) and the finest-looking screen scrolling I have ever seen on PC. I have no idea whether any of these can be found in FTP-sites, but I could send them to anyone interested. -- ============================================================================= I TARGON@KONTU.UTU.FI I I I Tero Ykspetaja I "I want you to do me a favor - I I University of Turku I I want you to tell all your friends about me" I I Computer Science I -Batman I I FINLAND I I =============================================================================
