Saturday, January 9th, 2010
An indie game by a small group known as D’India, (headed by a person with the last name being the same as the groups). Darkwolf is a platforming sidescroller that has you in control of a Wizard that is on a quest to broker a peace deal between rival factions. The game seems to run a bit slow in DOSBOX compared to a real 486 running real DOS, but it is very playable if you ramp up the cycles. The controls are interesting.
A, S, Z and X all do something and pressing up will let you jump. Overall, it would be easy enough to map to a controller.

Obscure DOS Shareware Games: YAB Baseball (1992)
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
The best description I can think of for this game is that it’s a fun german shareware PC game that plays like the old NES game Baseball but has graphics somewhat similar to early SNES. The cost of the game to register is 20 Deutschmarks but the authour would accept half from elderly, students, poor and disabled. The game wasn’t exceptional in any way, but it was fun for its simplicity. Also, as a German thing the word Yab is pronounced “Jab”. The game features 2 real MLB team names but solely because of their colours. Blue = Blue Jays. Red = Red Sox. I let the game sit a bit to reach the credits then put it into demo mode to show the gameplay.

Obscure Shareware DOS Games: Sinaria (1994)
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
An odd attempt at recreating Super Metroid in DOS without the Metroid IP… and with an enemy on the title screen that looks suspiciously like Wart from Super Mario Brothers 2. Your character doesn’t have a visible gun either and seems to shoot from his crotch. Other than weirdness and some blatant similarities to other games, this game is fairly fun for an offbeat and different sidescrolling platformer. I really know very little about this game as there is so little available on the internet. The game is yet another to use tracked modular music to produce a superior sound to basic wavetable midi. Actually… some game tiles seem to be near matches to Super Metroid.

Obscure Classic DOS Security Shareware Program: Eyeguard (1990)
Saturday, November 14th, 2009
Eyeguard is a very obscure, very strange DOS password security program (which means it’s largely innefectual in the era anybody could walk up with a boot disk). The shareware version only had the two messages, Eyeguard is on duty and Eyeguard is watching you, but the registered version supposedly had different avatars and you could customize whatever messaged you wished it to say. The reason for the horrible audio quality also is because it didn’t even use a sound card. It put the synthesized voices straight through the old PC speaker!
