Re: Old computer game..
It's true it could fit the description of King's Quest I, but it could be some others as well. Do you remember if you had to avoid Ogres or meet any fairy tale characters?

Re: Old computer game..

Re: Old computer game..
King's Quest is a series of games originally designed for a PC. We only have two of them online. But "getting past the first forest" doesn't sound right. You could normally freely roam around in them.

Here is the other one we have.
King's Quest V » Nintendo

Were you roaming around looking for items the same way you do in this game Dragon Crystal » Game Gear or was it different?

Re: Old computer game..
cool. I remembered more.

All of the graphics were green^^ and different shades of green. IT was a 2d platformer Hack and slash game that had you exploreing differente areas, defeating enemeies, going up levels, and picking up items. but like I said I only played the first area. The computer was Very old and had the ancient style of Graphics card.

Re: Old computer game..
no kidding.. Im running around sites like a mad man trying to find out what this dam game is.. only because it was that fun and frustrating.. I never got past the first levels, and want to see if I have gotten good enough to beat it.. IT smy luck though, I always find games too late, and by the time I want them, the games are insanely hard to find, or are insanely expensive.. like Marvel vs capcom 2 new age of heroes.. I got to play it on an arcade machine at Disney world, and had an absolute blast..

Yeah.. now go to a site and look at how crazy prices the price of the games system ports are.. that tends to be my sort of luck with good games.. I find them too late..

Re: Old computer game..
It can probably be added when we add DOS games. Which I would guess is between 4 and 18 months away.

Re: Old computer game..
That's not DOS. That's QBasic. QBasic runs in DOS but it is an additional unknown. Maybe.

Gorillas, Nibbles and QBasic were my first experience to programming. I would make them so if you typed in my name you would get slight advantages so others didn't know I was cheating. Or mess with the so they were really crazy.

In the mean time there is
Artillery Duel » ColecoVision
Artillery Duel » Atari 2600
Worms » Super Nintendo
Worms » Game Boy
Worms » Genesis
