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!

Yes to Pirates and Jungle Hunt... thanks!

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

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?

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

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

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


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

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.

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.

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
