Hey,
I found Abandonia some days ago and recovered some wonderful classic games I almost forgot since then. I would like to give something back to the Abandonia community - thus I looked for some games not yet listed in the Abandonia database on my hard drive. I found:
Commander Keen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Dreams
I think most of you should know these jump'n'runs as they are really "must-have"-games...
Cyril Cyberpunk
Freaky side scrolling jump'n'run... Reality Studios: " It is the year 2224, and a boy called Cyril Smith is scanning the galactic airwaves, when he intercepts a message from an alien scout ship about the impending invasion of Earth. He becomes Cyril Cyberpunk, and traces the ship to Central Park. His worst fears are realized when he discovers that they are a race of mutant cyborg TEDDY-BEARS! And so an amazing adventure begins."
Duke Nukem 1, 2
Could be the shareware version..
Dynablaster
Bomberman clone
Jill of the jungle 1, 2, 3
Jump'n'run. JotJ 1 was the first computer game I ever played :-)
Lode Runner
Collect all items while avoiding the enemies!
MegaMan X
Don't know - couldn't make it run.
Tony And Friends in Kellogs Land (german)
Great advertising jump'n'run game for a corn flakes producer. You play either as a tiger, frog, bird or some other animal I forgot. Every character has it's own special ability (run, swim, fly, ...) you have to use to win the game.
Turrican 2
Couldn't make it run, presumably because it needs some unusual memory settings or something.. it's explained in the game's setup file.
Bifi 2 - Action in Hollywood (german but I think you can set it to english as well)
Wonderful advertising adventure game for the "pocket sausage" (I don't know how to call that in english) "Bifi". You are a young delivery boy who's task is to deliver a move script to a film-studio. The game is very funny with a great humour and lots of incredibly comical allusions to famous movies (like Star Trek or Alien vs. Preditor I think)
Captain Zins (german)
Advertising adventure made by a german bank.
Dunkle Schatten 1, 2 (german)
Adventure.
Telekommando 2 - Das Telekommando kehrt zurück (german)
Great advertising adventure for a german phone company (strangely the company had a governmental monopoly then..). You are a phone technican who is called to an office building to repair a video conference thing or something. Soon you find out that strange things are going on - a floor is blocked for the elevator..
Victor Loomes (german)
Detective adventure.
Framed
Some kind of side-scrolling adventure jump'n'run mix. I never played it but it looks very interesting.. You lost your memory and you are locked into a foreign jail.
Monopoly
An implementation of the famous board game.
Bard's Tale 1, 2, 3
A typical old role playing game.
Aces Of Europe
Never played.
Eishockey Manager (german)
Manage an ice hockey team.
Energie Manager (german)
You have to build up a restaurant or so while being as eco friendly as possible.
Tankwars
Never played.
--------
My main problem is: I don't know anything about copyrights / whether I'm allowed to upload these games.. Please help me.
