Anyway, I personally would love to see more obscure DOS games covered here. I mean those are the ones that are very likely to be forgotten. Same here actually. I've got a ton of PC Gamer demo discs lying around, should be good fodder to figure out some interesting stuff to try out. Anything DOS is OK but anything for Win 95 might prove to be a problem compatibility-wise... Those disks were always a blast to explore, man. I miss 'em.

DOS games always felt more quirky and different to me.

This conversation is making me miss the old Crystalvision demo CDs I used to get when I was really young. They're like, impossible to Google for these days, sadly, so I can't even try buying one.

That quiver article was great. I like the line about the colors being grey, brown, or friendship is magic. LOL.

I think I still also have dozens,if not hundreds, of demo und shareware compilations from different german magazines from the 90ies at my parents' house- if my mother hasn't thrown them out,that is. Should be very entertaining, to say the least, to go through them......I wonder right now what I missed the first time around.

Maybe you can turn it into an expose of some kind.

"Every so often" should be "ever".
And is the NES Dragon's Lair really worse than the SNES Space Ace? It's still the worst game I've ever played, so... good lord.

I'm gonna see if I can dig up some weird old games that haven't been written about for YWK and wake the feature up a bit. Terrible games are pretty fascinating, so I hope others do the same.

Speaking of which, has anyone ever heard of Skaphander? German FPS from 1995, which had you steer some sort of virtual hovercraft through a computer network to kill viruses and fulfil various tasks. Wasn't exactly a good game, but it did have some original ideas, as well as a pretty weird atmosphere (the first level takes place in a miscalibrated sound driver(!) - which takes the shape of a chapel, including creepy choir samples and organ music). Never heard about it, but what's the deal with 1995 and games set inside computers/other games/arcade games? Both Virocop from Amiga and Game Tengoku for the arcades have the same premise of playing as someone who is inside games and has to exterminate all viruses/glitches/corrupted game characters. They're all shooters too, even if one's a FPS, the other a top-down action game and the other a vertical shmup. I know, they are respectively German, British and Japanese so it's most likely a coincidence, but it's still pretty bizarre!

Oh good, so I WASN'T hallucinating that.
I think it's supposed to be some sort of word filter, but what the Hell was it replacing?
