Title File Size Graphics Sound Cracked? Boots? Runs on: Comments Extras
4D Boxing 520 KB c,e,v,t,h P,a,s,t,X y n all Cool 3D boxing game. You can turn down the detail low enough to get it working on an XT.
4D Tennis 1.31 MB c,e,v,t,h p,a,s,t,X y n all 3D tennis, by the same people who did the excellent 4D Boxing
ABC Sports Boxing 901 KB v ? y n all This was originally TV Sports Boxing; see the TV Sports Boxing entry for more info. Great graphics
Bar Games 516 KB e,? p y n all If Lesiure Suit Larry were blended with a sports game, this would be it.
Boot Camp c p,a n n 8086
Budokan 703 KB c,e,t,v,h P,a,X n n all Truly realistic martial arts game; great graphics; great music by Rob Hubbard
California Games 1 239 KB c,C,e,t,v,h p y n all Has special "more-color" mode if you have a 4.77 MHz cpu and a CGA card
California Games 2 874 KB c,e,v,t,h p y n all The sequel. Didn't do too well, probably because the gameplay bordered on odd.
Championship Boxing c p y n 8086
Earl Weaver Baseball version 1.0 166 KB c p y n 8086 A landmark baseball game for 1987, Earl Weaver baseball made good use of statistics and team management.
Earl Weaver Baseball version 1.5 319 KB c p y n 8086 An updated version of the original.
Faceoff c,e,v p,a,t ? n all Hockey game
Fiendish Freddy's Big Top of Fun 748 KB c,e,v,t P ? n all Hilarious game, if difficult
Hole-in-one Minigolf 1.07 MB c,e,t,v,h p y n all All the course disks are included, so if you want to play 96 holes of minigolf, be my guest. :-) Rare.
John Elway Quarterback c,e,t,v,h P ? y 8086
Links 1.37 MB v p,a,s y n all This is the original Links from 1990
Mean 18 523 KB c,C,e,t p ? n all This game is only half-cracked: the game runs fine, but the course designer is still protected... sorry... but I included 20 courses in the archive, so I doubt you'll need to write your own course anyway. :-)
Microsoft Decathelon c p y y 8086
Monday Night Football 1.46 MB c,e,t P y n all A fairly cool football game for its time, with a lot of digitized sound. To get the digitized sound to play correctly on 486's and higher, disable your turbo button or hardware cache.
NFL Challenge c p y n 8086 From XOR corporation; football strategy
Sharkey's 3D Pool 102 KB c,e,t P y n all
Shufflepuck Cafe 500 KB c,e,t P y n all Another Infogrames classic, well done (if a bit frustrating)
Skate or Die 498 KB c,e p y n 8086,286
Speedball 2 440 KB e,v A,? y n 286+ A vastly improved Speedball for modern hardware. Good music, too.
Star Rank Boxing II 114 KB c,e,t p ? n 8086
Street Sports Baseball 79 KB c p y n all
TV Sports Basketball 427 KB ? P y n 286,386,486 One of Cinemaware's last games
TV Sports Boxing 971 KB v P,a,? y n 286+ This was Cinemaware's last game, right before Mirrorsoft (Cinemaware's owner and distributor) went bankrupt. It was later resold and repackaged as ABC Sports Boxing. The two versions are mostly identical.
TV Sports Football 399 KB e,t,v P y n 286+ One of Cinemaware's last games.
Tag Team Wrestling 32 KB c p y n 8086 Data East classic
Takedown 387 KB c,e,? P y n ? Wrestling game made by Gamestar in 1988
The Games: Summer Challenge 761 KB v p,a,s,X y n all Similar to Summer Games, but not the same game, and not made by Epyx.
The Games: Summer Edition 1.00 MB c,e,t p y n ? Not to be confused with the later "Summer Challenge" game, this came from Epyx and can be considered a "sequel" to the classic Summer Games. It had many things ahead of it's time, most notably precalculation of 3D elements that made for some FAST 3D enhancements, even on a 4.77MHz PC! The intro sequence, for example, races around a 3D stadium after a 4 second pause; really slick.
The Games: Winter Challenge 611 KB v p,a,s,t y n all Winter olympics game. Nice "sequel" to Epyx's classic Winter Games
WWF: European Rampage 854 KB v,? ? y n ?
WWF: WrestleMania 564 KB v,? p,a y n all
Winter Challenge c P n n 8086 Fairly decent winter olympics game, similar to Winter Games. (This game is not to be confused with The Games: Winter Challenge)
World Championship Soccer 153 KB e,? p y n all
World Class Leaderboard Golf 359 KB c,e,t P y n all Good golf game; precursor to Access's Links. Has cool digitized sound--was one of the first games to use Access's RealSound digitized sound process.
Zany Golf 410 KB c,e,t p,t y n 8086,286,386 First and best miniature golf game for the PC. EGA version (zany.com) is cracked; Tandy version (tzany.com) is not, but lets you play the first level, and has fantastic music. Mouse and Joystick support appear to be broken.
