I have to post Egoboo, too. Come on! Also, you didn't add Ore No Ryomi 2 to the database like you did all the other classic games. |

I'll mention Glace, if I may. I can't believe how underated that game seemed to be.
I'd argue that it was perhaps underplayed, but the reviews I remember (on acid-play) horribly overrated it. The movement had a nice feel to it and the graphics were great, but the majority of the gameplay was horribly dull. |

Thanks for posting Mantra. The old Mac days were good to me (  Load Runner and it's level editorrrr  ) TabbyCat was right about Glider Pro. Great game, memorable music, and it had a house editor you could spend days with. The original author, John Calhoun, has made it free for download. Note: in the original you didn't see the entire house, so try to adjust your resolution so you only see one room.  |

maybe we should extend it for a week since we haven't gotten around to looking at / reviewing 90% of the games mentioned in this thread... or perhaps just repeat it in a few months with a new batch, keeping this thread around for reference

I've always thought this game deserved a spot in the database. Here's a review of "Life of D. Duck."  "OH MY GOD THIS GAME IS AMAZING YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS." was the phrase that first introduced me to Life of D. Duck, an epic AGS game manufactured by the mysterious auteur Bjornar B. You see, young Bjorny had always dreamed of one day becoming a Disney artist, especially for Donald Duck. However, this game has nothing to do with Donald Duck. This is the life of one D. Duck, upstanding resident of Andecity (Duckburg) and a role model for Olympic athletes and grain farmers everywhere. A word of warning: Do not play this game if you are faint of humor. You will find none of your precious 'sense' here, D. Duck is a man-child on a mission and he has no time for such frivolities. As the game opens, Uncle Scrooch and Grandmother Duck happen upon an egg in the tranquil forest. When the egg hatches, D. Duck pops out and proclaims his intention of winning the Andecity (Duckburg) Marathon. Grandmother tells him he needs nutritious oat porridge for a strong body and D.'s life has begun! The game's dialogue is well-written, the graphics represent the true cutting edge, the music is catchy like a crab fisherman on crack, and the puzzles will leave you scratching your head with delight. The download includes a full walkthrough in case you get stuck, because let's be honest - mystery solving is for nerds. Play this game, experience it, live it, love it, become one with it. The Life of D. Duck is the life of YOU. |

I realize that the week is now at an end. I have a few DOS games I'd like to mention that I think we can all agree are quite deserving of the 'classics' list. http://www.dreamofwinds.com/lonely/?p=850The link includes write-up + downloads on: Cyberbox 1 + 2 Cyberdogs 1 + 2 Skyroads 0 + 1 + 2 Scorched Earth Mortal Pong |

Sorry about being so impatient, I was just excited since I got my first review posted. I didn't mean to badger you like that, Derek. So thanks for posting it anyways.

Nice Aquins, I remember playing a lot of Skyroads in my programming class in high school. Mortal Pong was funny too but I think I only played the locked shareware version. And gorillas.bas was my Scorched Earth.

Gorillas! Hehe, I didn't want to go back *too* far. Actually, thinking of it, isn't there a retro gaming site with brand new QB creations? I recall playing a penguin puzzle game that was made not too long ago (say a few years.)
Maybe I should look into it for next Sunday....
