Have you heard of a game called Rollin? From what little I've seen on the internet, it was released back in '95 by SAV Creations(developer), Ticsoft and HomeBrew Software. I got this game on a shareware cd, it's an interesting game as it uses parallaxscrolling.

Another game is Teen Agent (developed by Metropolis Software and released in '95). It's just a point and click game, but it's pretty good. It's also on the same cd as Rollin.

I'll check them out. Regular visitors may have noticed that I haven't added any games in a while. I still maintain the forums with a backup computer, but my main computer died in January. I ordered the parts I need to build a new computer a week ago, and I still haven't had confirmation that I can pick them up at the store yet. Hopefully today is the day. I have a few other games to add first, and then I'll check out these ones.

Edit: I just called the store. My graphics card hasn't come in yet, but he thinks it will come in some time next week. I've never owned a PCI Express graphics card before, so my beautiful new motherboard, RAM, CPU and hard drive are going to collect dust for another week.

Excellent adventure game!

What kind of graphics card are you waiting on DOSGuy?

I was trying to keep costs low, but get a card I could be happy with for a long time. The card was a GeForce 7300. I got tired of waiting for it, and I noticed that the store had a great sale price on a GeForce 8500 GT OC. It's a lot more power, but it didn't cost that much more, so I bought that instead. I forgot to pick up the case fans while I was there (which are already paid for), but I should be back up and running in less than 24 hours.

Edit: The posts that followed about everyone's computers has been moved.
