Lots of Help Needed

Post by Dreams »

All right, old school gamers, time to show me your prowess! XD

There's quite a few old games I've been looking for... I know they were on old Macs because I played them in elementary/middle school (like 1993-1996). I've looked for them online before, and I don't think there are any ROMs for them, but I thought I'd give it one last try...

1. Cosmic Osmo & the World Beyond the Mackeral - the old/original version... I saw that this game was re-released several years later, although the newer version is also impossible to obtain.

2. Odell Lake/Odell Pond - I'm not sure which is the right title.

3. Kidspix/Kidscuts - I know these had re-releases too, but I was looking for the originals.

4. Windy City

5. Wacky Jacks

6. Thinkin' Things - I think this also had a re-release, but same goes here.

7. DaVinci's Flying Machine - I don't know if this is the real name.

8. Type to Learn - yes, the original!

9. Annndd... I don't know the name to this game. It was an RPG-ish thing where you made your way through a castle and at the end the answer to winning the game was always one of five passwords. I think you had collect keys and possibly face a dragon. Any ideas?

10. This one I don't know either... some bizarre quiz game that featured a blue octopus... I think it asked you questions and the answers to choose from would appear on his tentacles?

If anyone can give me any help, I'd really appreciate it. :D

Thanks for the link! The only thing the site had that was close to my list was Odell Down Under, which I think is the sequel to Odell Lake. Might fill the void though.

Hmm... I looked up Dark Castle screenshots on Google and either one of two possibilities exist:
1. It's not the game.
2. Or it IS the game, but it's been so long I've forgotten what it looked like.
I thought, for some reason, that its graphics were as bad as the hunting stage on the original Oregon Trail. Like, little blobular person running around.

Aww... I'm nowhere near Australia, but thanks. ^_^ Did you find out about the other games? I appreciate the help.
