The Game Zone
You've stumbled upon my gaming zone page. Here you will be able to get to several gaming sites I like to visit, but first, I want to take a moment about to talk about the greatest game ever released by any game company.
Burn Out, Championship Drag Racing, PCE
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!
Inspired by the movie Robot Jox, this is truly an incredible game.I've played the Wolf clan all the way to the end and about halfway through the Falcon clan. I uninstalled the game to make room other stuff, but I still think it's the most awesome game ever made, with Full Throttle a close second. But enough about that...
Any card players out there??
I love to play hearts. Of all the high speed CD ROM games on the market, the hearts game that came with WIN 95 is the one I play the most. I finally got tired of beating up the computer and found a great place to play on-line for free. Here is where you can get started in your card playing adventures. Hearts is not the only game they have, there is also spaids, bridge and pinoccle games going on. Go yourself and check it out. One more note: Netscape is required to play any of the card games there.
How About Some Classics??
Remember the old classics, the original video games like Donkey Kong, Robotron, 1942 and Galaga?? I found a combination of sites that you can download data from to have these games on your PC.
Step one is to go to the MAME download site. This is the operating system all these games run under, or at least an emulator of the operating system. It's a ZIP file that I unzipped to a directory I called MAME.
Step two involves getting the ROM's, or games files. There are two places to go for theses. Daves Arcade Classics and Lord 13's MAME Page. For some of the games listed, like Donkey Kong, there is also a seperate sound file to download. Once downloaded, I create seperate directories inside the MAME directory titled what the game is. Then, to play the game, my command line is c:\mame\mame.exe galaga for the game Galaga. These games run great in DOS and will work just fine in windows thru a DOS shell. If you have any questions or need help setting these up, fell free to e-mail me at the bottom of this page
Wanna download some cool stuff??
Check out theZD Net software library for a HUGE selection of downloadable demos. One of they're current features, Homeworld by Sierra, is the next evolution of real-time strategy gaming, delivering a fresh experience in a totally 3D universe. Homeworld gives players a new level of freedom to create new styles of gameplay while simultaneously delivering cinematic quality graphics, stunning special effects, brilliantly rendered ships and an innovative interface. They also have a top ten kids games area of downloadable shareware games.
Still Want More??
Check out Computer Gaming World's site. They have a great archive of downloadable demos also. One of they're current features is Star Wars Pod Racer. It's a racing sim that flies!! It's kind of hard ot control, but once you get the hang of it, hold on and enjoy the ride.
