DOS Games Discussion

Well am searching an old game that i played when i was kiddo
It was a 2d game (Pc game) , you're playing with black character (Kind of ninja i think) and you have to earn power like jumping , Speed and others (I don't remember the others) On the beginning the character that you'are playing with is talking to an old man i think so i hope you guys that u can help me and thx

Around what year did you play? Was it on a PC with Dos or Windows, or something else like an Apple II or Playstation?

Random ninja guess & list:

I played it on 2009or 2010, it was on windows

Did it look anything like these "realistic" games:

Or this "abstract platformer":

If not, can you describe the graphics?

Stormow, if you really want us to help find your game you need to provide more information. We have very detailed posting guidelines that should give a very good idea of what is relevant for identifying a game. Obviously you have completely neglected them.

Please be nice to people who are willing to help you. Also, by neglecting the guidelines you delay the identification of your game because we have to ask the same questions all over again to get at least some information. I've already lost count of how many times Quadko asked newcomers, "Around what year did you play?". This could be completely avoided if people just read the rules.

Searching for full sentences does not work, but it's possible to find the individual words to get an estimate:

Quadko: 27 times.
MrFlibble: 18 times
Me: 2 times.

Others have also asked the same 202-27-18-2=155 times in this forum.

;-)

Haha! Yes, it's the nicest way I've figured out so far to ask that question and get a conversation going.

I figure few people are far enough down the "structured and detail oriented" personalities scale to have read the posting guidelines before asking their question. I try to be kind and inviting to our guests, but I should just make it a macro key. (And you know I can go the other way, too, sadly!)

Too bad we can't set a template message in this forum with the 3-4 most important questions. Not sure what else to recommend. Forum noobs gonna noob, but they are good people anyway.
