What are the names of these three OLD games?
 
1. Played it around 1991. It was Tetris with bombs. Played on a computer.

2. Around 1990. A pirates game on a Commodore 64.

3. Around 1991. Played on a computer. An adventure game where you stuck knives on alligators, swung from trees, saved the girl from cannibals.

Thanks! :)

No knives, no cannibals, no PC.

Yes to Pirates and Jungle Hunt... thanks! :)

That's not the Tetris one. It was regular blocks but a blue bomb now and then.

That was Tetris 2 (not the SNES one).

There was a remake of the original Pirates that came out a couple years ago. It is pretty cool.

Super Tetris, I'm pretty sure. My mom loved that version. I think there was a circus theme to it?

GatorDeb 10-27-05 10:31 PM

Super Tetris for the PC - YES!!! This is it !!! I've posted that particular one (Super Tetris) about 3-4 times here and this is the first time it's correctly identified.

Now on the hunt to get it :D

Jungle Hunt, Pirates, and Super Tetris ... now I can go relive childhood memories... thanks :D

It's not much of a hunt when you've already been told where to get it. :)

Well, the one I've wanted ever since 8th grade was Super Tetris and that link had game info but no playable download :)

When I was in eight grade I took a computer class, and one of our classmates was in the class as an aide and not a student, and he used to rub it in our faces that he got to play Super Tetris all class long while we had to do homework.

Now I finally get to play it all I want :D


Edit: Nevermind missed the download link the first time around. Finally got to play it, 14 years later. Thanks pinata :D

Going off topic here, but looking at that underdogs link, they mention Welltris. I haven't thought about that game in years! I used to play that and Wing Commander almost exclusively. That was a fun twist on Tetris.

GatorDeb 10-27-05 11:22 PM

I cannot emphasize enough how I've been looking for that game for 14 years. pinata you made a young teenager's dream come true today :D

pinata242 10-27-05 11:24 PM

No problem. Funny that I can remember off the top of my head a particular version of tetris from over half my life ago, but can't remember what my wife said to me last week.

GatorDeb 10-27-05 11:27 PM

Spoken like a true man ;)

Last week? Hell, I can't remember if she was talking when I walked out the door this morning...

Not only that, I find I only have some much buffer space in the brain for any specific topic. I haven't overflowed that buffer with videogame info yet, but my wife tends to overflow the little bit of space in my brain I have assigned to listening to her quite rapidly :D
