One Must Fall from Epic Megagames. Took close to two months to arrive iirc
- sgbeal 3y ago> One Must Fall from Epic Megagames Thank you - Epic Megagames was a name i was trying to recall while writing this post. Their Jill of the Jungle and ZZT are shareware titles i remember (but never bought).
- stavros 3y agoInteresting how far they've come, though they're just called Epic now.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoI hope they bring back the MegaGames brand and start producing retro DOS games again, that would be cool.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoZZT was great, it was my first programming experience and the earliest user created content / programming game I can think of; it was always a joy to find a collection of ZZT maps on these disks you'd get with computer magazines. They were onto something as well, given the success of Fortnite which also has user created levels.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoLoved OMF, I played the shareware version so many times. Eventually got a copy of the full version (since it was still a diskette game iirc so easily copied), I did play all of it but it didn't have the feeling of the shareware version, weirdly enough. Kids interact with things differently. There was a sequel at one point, a 3D, 3rd person arena melee variant, but it just didn't work imo. A shame, it was a great franchise.

Kids interact with things differently. my parents got me those kiosk cds filled with shareware and demos back in the day, also had way more fun pushing the bounds of each small demo than investing in a full story
- tikkabhuna 3y agoI loved that game! I was probably 4 years old playing that. My dad had to start it up for me. I think he still has a tape of me crying about it being too difficult. Great times. I never did work out how to do the special attack...
