What looks to be a space game? But don’t hold me to that. One of many share-ware/free-ware DOS games from the 90s – but sadly this one doesn’t seem to work 😦
Ive tried running it in DOSBox & Windows 2000 and the program seems to hang once you hit play. FYI: The exe to run the game seems to be menu.exe – because play.exe forceclose’s.
Random trivia – this game comes from South Africa!

This is 3D Space Mob – the shareware trail version again. This game is strictly DOS (I had to run it in the trusty ol’DOSBox), but is quite nice in its graphical content, and has some funky midi music. Im sure if I actually intended to play the game properly, I would soon find that its a good game – but I dont have the time. The game appears to be a standard side-scrolling platform – but I had a problem of only being able to shoot up? Which was odd. Anyway, the only other problem I had was I felt the controls where a bit heavy. Developed by GameScape Studios, published by Ultisoft.

This is 3D Space Fighter – the shareware version (not the full game). One problem, it doesn’t run at all. The game is DOS based – thus requiring you to run it from MS-DOS prompt/CMD, which returns you “GFX ERR = 0”. The game is limited to 5 minutes as it is the trial version. Im still giving it away, in case you can get it to work. Again published by Ultisoft, authored by GameScape Studios.
