VMW DOS Games, 1991 - 1996

We had an Apple II computer up through 1991, but I started doing GWBASIC programming when visiting my Dad at work. Then we got a 386, and so I moved to DOS full time, from GWBASIC to QBASIC to Turbo Pascal.

I was always making games, here is an archive holding some of them.

I made these in middle/high school. Then I went off to college and started using Linux full time and rapidly lost all the spare time I used for game coding.

Star Fight -- 1992 -- CGA Spacewar-alike
Chipper -- 1992 -- EGA Guinea Pig Platformer Prototype
Underwater Trouble -- 1993 -- EGA -- Sub battle
Adventures in Time and Space -- 1994 -- EGA -- not finished, space shooter based on a radio drama
Spacewar III -- 1994 -- EGA Spacewar Clone
Tom Bombem -- 1994-1996 -- VGA Mode13h which has its own set of webpages

Download the Games

Here's a zip file with them. They should play under Dosbox. The archive should fit on a 1.44MB floppy. I've included some source too.
