DOS Games Discussion

I found the old game I had been searching for, it's called "Dschump". Turns out it's from South Africa, not Germany (my apologies to people who tried to find it) and it's rather obscure. You can find it at: http://www.filelibrary.com/Contents/DOS/84/18.html It's the last one in the list. I...

Herbie, I need some help. In Electroman, the level with the lettered-numbered floors, bizarre office plants, and strange cylinders that kill you at a touch. I can't get past one spot where a hanging cylinder and a floor cylinder are slightly offset, and you have to jump through the space provided wi...

Bless you, Herbie! I've been starting the game over from the beginning each time. This is much better Thanks, you're great.

JKSM, thanks for replying, I appreciate it. Yes, it was a platform type game, not a side-scrolling game (although one could move sideways in a limited fashion). The ball itself as I remember wasn't small, but at least medium-large size. It seemed to me to be a foreign-made game, German sticks out in...

Thank you, PW and Frenkel, it worked, I can now use keys And pick up vases and such. Things are looking up

I've posted twice on Dosgames.com, but no one has replied. I'll try one last time. I'm playing the great old game Gods by the Bitmap Brothers. I have no trouble walking over and collecting coins, crystals, gold, etc., but try as I might, I cannot pick up and use keys. How does one do that? Bear with...

I'm looking for an old dos game, can't remember the name. The graphics were good for the time; it had a 3-d appearance. You guided a bouncing ball along a set 'path' from the bottom of the screen to the top, encountering traps and tiles that would give way. If the ball fell off the path you had to r...

Great old game, but is there a 'save' feature? I've been searching for any keyboard shortcuts for this game but can't find any.
