SimCity now building cities on iPhone screens

If you ever enjoyed building sandcastles on a beach and destroying it afterwards, there is a good chance that you were playing one of the many versions of SimCity on a PC as well. EA Mobile recently released an adaptation of the game for the iPhone which lets you create a finely structured city and, if you want to, bring sudden change through monsters or tornadoes.

Island Wars - Interactive Studios - Abandonware

I've tried to show that there's virtually an unlimited number of days you cans et the game to. You can also play Human v Computer or Human v Human if you wish. Each day is divided into three stages. Each stage ends either when all the palm trees have been destroyed, or you or the computer player has been destroyed. The game ends when you've completed all the days.

This is quite addictive; especially for free. :) The only down side for some will be that it's keyboard controlled only. Even the menus are keyboard selected, but then this is the older version of the game that was released several years ago when keyboard controls were still common.

There are only a few keys to use so this game is very simple to learn and even easier to play.

Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss

Ultima Underworld was a first-person role-playing game developed by Blue Sky Productions and published by Origin Systems in 1992. It was part of the popular Ultima series and featured significantly more complex technologies and gameplay than other games back then. For example, Ultima Underworld had a completely texture mapped environment and polygonal objects along with a simple physics engine and dynamic lighting. An enhanced version of the game engine was later used for System Shock. It's also notable that Ultima Underworld was released before the well known Wolfenstein 3D. In this video, you can see a self-running demo version :)

Citizens: Backwater Affairs (May 1996)

This was an unreleased game developed by Microprose. It started as Little People in 1994 and was renamed to Citizens later, but Microprose cancelled it after about 2 years of development. Maybe they were too overwhelmed with realizing the ideas and concepts of this game. Regarding the story, you died by a car accident and you got a job as guardian of the experimental town Backwater in your afterlife. You have to control people by modifying their needs and feelings to reach several goals. In this video, you can see the official demo version.

I mean, even I am tired of making this video.

But you guys need help, and I'm here to help. All I need is your questions, and I'll look for an answer.

Now I'm sure that if you pick a random game to play when you want to do this tutorial, you'll need the documentation to figure out the game's controls, copy-protection, etc... So I'm posting a link to a site that has pretty much every single game documentation known to a human being:

http://www.replacementdocs.com/news.php (If it's down, I won't know. Sorry if it is.)

If you're wanting to know where I got the game, here's the link to it: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/74/Flashback.html

The discussion for it is located here, in case the tutorial here didn't work for you. Ask them about it, cause they know more: http://www.abandonia.com/en/forum?url=showthread.php?t=105

Here's the list of some of the Abandonware sites that I know of:

The better ones are better left unsaid.

Here's a link to some fan-made games:

Dr. Drago's Madcap Chase - 10 Round Duel Highlights (Part 2)

This is from a fun and educative little board game like strategy game made by Bluebyte Software back in 1995 (or '97, dependig on source) called "Dr. Drago's Madcap Chase" ("Die total verrückte Rallye" in german), which I wanted to upload because no videos of it exist on YouTube. I edited together the highlights of a 10 round game of me playing against a single AI opponent. The original length was around 55 minutes. I first got to know Dr. Drago's Madcap Chase in 1996 when its demo came with The Settlers 2 CD, but now the full version is free abandonware.

The objective of the game is to be the richest player at the end of the game. This is best achieved by being the first one to reach each rounds destination city, which is randomly chosen from one of Europe's capital cities, and win the prize of approximately $100,000. Money earned is best put to use by purchasing things like farms, factories, tourist attractions and other lucrative businesses. The play area consists of different squares which are explained below.

Blue square = Win random amount of money
Red square = Lose random amount of money
Yellow square = Win random card
Purple square = Buy and sell cards
Grey square = City
Black & white square = Capital city

After the first destination capital has been reached, Dr. Drago comes after the player who was farthest away from the destination, and each round does wacky thing that make you lose money, cards, or even businesses. Dr. Drago can be shaken off using a certain card, or by overtaking an opponent or by landing in the same square. When Dr. Drago changes from using a bicycle and rowing boat to a rocket propelled car and airplane, it means that he will be an even greater nuisance to the player he's with. An even worse fate is to have Drago after you when he's piloting a menacing zeppelin.

Recorded with Hyperionics Hypercam 2 and edited with Sony Vegas 7.0. I unfortunately have no idea what the songs are called, because they're all from the game itself and not are listed in the credits.

Ugh! - PC DOS 1992 - Last level and ending

Ugh! is one of those lighthearted games that can be enjoyed both alone or 2 players in co-operation. Travel passengers from A to B in your homemade pedaldriven helicopter device, gather fruit for more time and watch out for dangerous hazards.

This gameplay is of bakkelun and Oldtree completing the last level (level 81) Anchor Song on hard. As you can see, you have to get your timing right.

DOOM I & II on OpenGL using Doomsday Engine

This video has been created using HyperCam... maybe that's the reason of its horrible quality... however, if you like it and you try Doomsday Engine you will see the amazing OpenGL rendered new look of Doom. You can use as engine to play with your registered WADS of Doom, Heretic, Hexen and their expansion packs like Ultimate Doom or Hexen: Death Kings of the Dark Citadel.
Also, the addons packages I used to render like this include:
-remasterized 3D models
-remasterized weapons
-remasterized powerups & objects
-remasterized environment & user interface
-remasterized textures and OpenGL / Direct3D rendering

Enjoy and pass it on!

PS: I'm sorry I didn't show up all the game features, but it's only a preview, if you want it, test it out yourself! ;)

For the first time in its 7 years of existence, some decent statement has been released concering the legality of ...

"We have sent 'cease and desist' letters to YellowTab on a number of occasions, which have been uniformly ignored. If Herr Korz feels that he holds a legitimate license to the BeOS code he's been using, we're completely unaware of it , and I'd be fascinated to see him produce any substantiation for that claim."
