There are dozens of good, free, old school games at The Underdogs.


This site is absolutely wonderful.  I've now downloaded two games that I'd been yearning for since about '98.  I got Alien Crossfire the expansion pack for Alpha Centauri and an old NFL simulator from about 1986 that I loved because it was all strategy and did not require any manual dexterity.

I think I'm gonna download the Kroz games tomorrow.  That or Hammurabi.

Partly because this was getting off track and partly because these Modly powers were burning a whole in my virtual pocket I split off the Atari-talk.

Some of my great abandonware downloads have been:
Marble Madness
Alone in the Dark
Another World
Flashback
Commander Keen
Neuromancer
Prince of Persia
Tau Ceti (the space sim not the tube action game thing)

Needless to say there are many more old, old games I need to get, but it takes time!

Neuromancer was one of my favourites for the C64.  Does it include the soundtrack by Devo?

I'm not sure. I've not played it in a while, and it doesn't seem to work now. I'll have a look at it later and find out. It also may well have done, but setting up sound for a game that old isn't easy, since it is the old PC version of it, no the C64 version.

Commander Keen


There's my entire childhood, right there.  Oh man, the day I downloaded an emulator and the rom of that was awe-inspiring.

I owned the Neuromancer game, and on the box it said "Featuring music and scenes from the upcoming motion picture!"

So I waited for the movie.  And waited.  And it never came out.

IMDB only tells me this:

I never played Commander Keen but I remember the shareware Duke Nukem apparently came with my version of DOS. I could never find all the damn keys and shit.

I'm somewhat glad the movie never happened, given what happened to Johnny Mnemonic when it got made.
I swear, if you ever get insomnia, put that movie on and you fall straight asleep!

if you get a neo geo emulator, you can pick up a rom for this great fighting game called "time killers"


Hell yeah!  Let's hear it for chopping off limbs with a chainsaw.
