DOS Games Discussion

Hi,

Does anyone know the title of the old pc game, you're in a maze and you zip around, it has different colored sections, and you collect jewels? It came already installed on the PC in the 80's? I think? It's sort of a puzzle game. Thanks a million!

First things that come to mind are the Boulderdash or Rockford style games, and Snarf.

Thanks for trying but that doesn't sound like it. I seem to remember that it was a square game board with different colored sections and you had to unlock each different colored section to proceed.

What sort of a character or playing piece did the game have? A human? A marble? What sort of style did the visuals have? High-tech, shiny, medieval? Can you think of any other notable features?

I don't remember what character or the playing piece was. The graphics were plain, not medieval, not high tech., & not shiny. This was around the 80's?

You zip around a large square, I think I remember as you advance, you go around and toward the center of the square.

They sections were in basic colors, red, blue, green, yellow. It's a strategy/puzzle type game.

Paganitzu?

Chip's Challenge?

I don't think it's either of those, but again, thanks for trying and your ideas.

As you don't seem to be sure about what you had to collect, a wild shot: Heartlight?

Was kinda well known in his time and was pre installed on several brand PCs as 'bonus' software .....

To my best recollection, you do collect jewels, but I don't remember other certain aspects of the game.

It isn't that one either. But yes, it was pre-installed on PC's. Again, thanks again, for trying.

Lode Runner esque?
Top Down View?
Sounds you might remember?

Sounds-yes, as you're zipping around the maze, and collecting each jewel, you hear a little clack, thus, collecting many jewels in a row, you'll hear many clacks.

The game you mentioned, I'll check it out. Thanks for the ideas, I really appreciate it.

Jewel Chase.

It's part of the MS puzzle collection.

Is it the one where theres also another guy collecting jewels too and you have to get more, or al of them before he does? and the get from one color to another the tile would be half and half? Sound like the game?

Would it happen to be collecting diamonds as in the game "Kye"?
