Shareware Shopper

Tetrolis is one of the many Tetris Clones alive and well today because of lawsuits back in the Street Fighter Era that established a game can have the same look and feel provided it is not mistaken for being the exact same IP. Coincidentally, this game was probably released before those lawsuits finished up but kudos to Vectorman for the nice music the game has.

I honestly could not for the life of me figure out what I had to do. I tried the various controls the game had listed, most likely it would have let me do something if I tried more combinations of keys. I can find no record of it online. It’s from an old Shareware compilation disc of mine. It appears to be a side scroller where you solve puzzles and try to prove your innocence from some sort of crime. Very interesting and odd… the protagonist is dressed like a typical gumshoe.

Like many games released by Epic Megagames, Brix, a puzzle game of matching blocks, features a rich soundtrack of module based music. This game can be pretty addictive but at the same time, it is very simple. I used to play this game a fair bit when I was a kid and it’s still fun today!

Download it for fun!

My Obligatory Shareware game for the day =D

Tubes is another matching puzzle type game, in the vein of Columns, Gems and the latter games like Puzzle fighter. In this game you catch different elements in beakers and chain them together to form “molecules”. There are also all sorts of other molecules that can help or greatly hurt you (like the grey coloured Xenon molecule, which does nothing and just gets in the way until you can find a way to blow it up). Overall a pretty fun and interesting game.

Rescue Rover is a computer puzzle game from id Software, published by Softdisk in 1991. The game was distributed as shareware, with the first 10 levels making up the shareware version, and another 20 levels being present in the registered version.
This is one of several games written by id to fulfill their contractual obligation to produce games for Softdisk, where the id founders formerly were employed. A sequel, Rescue Rover 2, soon followed. Roger and Rover are the names of the 2 main characters. Rover the dog is frequently kidnapped by robots, and it is the player’s (Roger the owner) job to enter into robot territory get him back, hence the name “Rescue Rover”.

Check out the famous names in the credits at the start. This game launched legends!

NEW FEATURE: I am uploading demos/shareware of everything I possibly can out of the videos I have posted!

P.S. Sorry for sucking. This is one of the few more famous shareware games I actually never really got to play as a youngster.

Edit:

Apparently this game was originally made as part of the “Gamers Edge” subscription service and was only broken up into shareware after the departure of ID personnel. So says a little bird ^_^
