Gore Galore – Worst shareware game ever.

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Finding its way into the real world via shareware BBS CDs, Gore Galore was neither gory nor was it any good. Touting itself as a splatterfest, it mainly came off as a low-rent Wolfenstein clone. Oh, and it had a poo gun too.

Obscure Shareware Games: Battlestar 2 (1993)

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Again, a sequel to which I have no idea of the original. Battlestar 2 is a pretty fun but challenging game that plays kind of like asteroids or the ship combat of Star Control, but as a Gradius/R-type type design with enemies coming at you constantly. Sorry this video is so short, I was taking care of my Son and he’s top priority ;)

This game however is far better than the game Galacta, which I posted a video of previously. Not quite Major Stryker level though but definitely fun.

Shadow Warrior Playthrough – Shareware Episode, Level 4 P2

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

This is my playthrough of the game Shadow Warrior, created by 3D Realms. The game’s main character, Lo Wang, has to fight his way through Zilla’s forces, and eventually confront him at the end of the game.

Here I go and get every kill (save for some levels, which may be impossible) and every secret throughout the entire game.

Due to me recording on DOSBox, the CD Audio is not included in the recording, so I had to painstakingly put the CD music into the audio track for the video.

This is the second part of the playthrough for the Dark Woods of the Serpent level.

Abuse

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Abuse is a side-scrolling platform game developed by Crack dot Com and and published by Electronic Arts in 1996. Even though the shareware version was released for MS-DOS, Linux and the Apple Macintosh, the retail version was available for MS-DOS only. However, since Crack dot Com released the source code and the shareware data as public domain around 1998, it is possible to compile Linux binaries from the sources.

One interesting thing is that the story is set in the near future, the year 2009. Even though we already have 2009, it was still far away when the game was done.

Powball (PC – DOS) – Gameplay

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Gameplay video of Powball, an interesting variation of the classic “Breakout” designed by Anthony Hamilton.

The story: “In 25th century, mankind lives a bleak life. Governamental and social stratas crumble, no longer able to meet the energy and material requirements of 40 billion inhabitants. Savage wars over the remaining pockets of resources threaten to pound civilization back into the stoneage. Thousands die every day, stinking up the atmosphere with the rank smell of disease and decay.

The discovery of an extraordinary crystal has given scientists a glimmer of hope.
It is the ultimate mineral, possessing a molecular structure so distinct it can be refined into any substance known to man. Alchemite is the biggest thing to hit the space pioneers since the California gold rush of ‘69.

You want to be a Rockhopper, one of the growing number of men and women mining this precious resource from the planetary debris of the nearby solar systems. Fame and fortune beckon to all rockhoppers, but deep down inside, your soul realizes the one true prize…

…life.”

Powball was originally released to the public as shareware on the 22nd of August 1996, and subsequently re-released by Spectrum Pacific Publishing and Webfoot Games on the the 3rd of June 1997. On 5th of July 2000, Powball was released as Freeware; this means it is free to play and distribute at your leisure but the license agreements remain. In other words, this product remains the copyright of Anthony Hamilton. It may not be sold for profit.

======================================

The game was run on DOSBox 0.72 and recorded with Camtasia recorder, since I forgot to install the ZMBV codec, which comes with together with DOSBox… Oops. =P
