What was that game...?
« on: June 22, 2005, 05:24:29 pm »
I wonder if you can help me.

Many years ago, I used to play an old DOS game, which I can\'t remember the title of. Basically, it was a sidescroller, sort of a platform adventure/shooter game. You played as a woman who could transform into a wolf. As the woman you can climb rope ladders and things, but the wolf form was really useful for jumping larger gaps without being skewered in spike pits.

There\'s not much else I remember about the game... just vague images of random levels and things. I\'m hoping this is enough info that someone might realise what I\'m talking about. :)

Anyway, I\'d appreciate it if you know the title and can tell me. Thanks!

Yeah I remember that game, it was called Jill of the Jungle I think.

I played it so much that I beat it three or four times.  For some reason it was addictive...

Ah yes, I vaguely recollect something of the sort.

I remember the first games I ever really played were Commander Keene, some karate game where you could fight with 4 different weapons and there was a two-player and a tournament mode, and a rugby game.

Those aren\'t the oldest games I\'ve played though, just the first. I\'ve played much older games than that. :D

http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/113 - Jill of the Jungle (shareware episode).  Commander Keen and many other classic games are also on that site.

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net - DOSBox, a PC emulator with a built in version of DOS (so it\'s easy to set up) designed for running games.  Can run many games that don\'t work for \'real\' on a modern PC.

http://www.apogee1.com/games.html - 3D Realms still sells the registered versions of several Apogee Software games (for a lower price than originally).
