Demon Stalkers	370 KB	c,e,t	P	y	n	all	Gauntlet clone; has level editor
Dragon Wars	644 KB	c,e,t	P	y	n	all	Bard's Tale-like game made by Interplay in 1988 (presumably after they got tired of the Bard's Tale series). Improves on the traditional Bard's Tale gameplay a bit.

Fantastic Four	110 KB	c	p	y	n	all	Another Questprobe game, like The Hulk
Heart of China	6.57 MB	v	p,a,t,s,X	?	n	286+	Created using the same engine/concept as Rise of the Dragon, this Dynamix game wasn't as nearly well received. It's a great game, but it's lacking some of the unique charisma that ROTD had.

Les Manley: Lost in LA	3.53 MB	v	p,a,s,t,X	y	n	all	Another title from Accolade in response to the Sierra's Leisure Suit Larry series. This one's a bit more randy.
Les Manley: Search for the King	711 KB	c,e,t,v	p,a,t	y	n	all	Accolade's response to Sierra's Leisure Suit Larry series. Les Manley has better puzzles, IMHO.

Maniac Mansion	199 KB	c,e,t	p,t	y	n	all	Flagship Lucasarts game using their older SCUMM adventure system. This version is cracked--you don't need the code to get past the door.

Out of this world	1.08 MB	e,v	P,a,s	y	n	286+	One of the most amazing games ever programmed... a truckload of rotoscoped animation in a small package.

Phantasie	194 KB	c	p	y	n	8086
Rise of the Dragon	6.53 MB	v	p,a,s,t,X	y	n	286+	Excellent "blade runner"-type graphic adventure. The music is extremely good, and sets the mood perfectly. This game set an example for others to follow.
Rocket Ranger		c,e,t	p	y	n	all	Probably the best Cinemaware title ever created: Action, structure, mood, storyline, strategy, etc. are all perfectly balanced.
Sinbad	625 KB	c,e	p	y	n	8086,286	Cinemaware game, but one of the more disappointing PC conversions.
Snoopy	117 KB	c,e,v,X	p	y	n	all	Cute little adventure game with nice graphics of the Peanuts characters.

Tass Times in Tonetown	258 KB	c	p	y	n	8086	A wacky and unique text adventure game with graphics and an interface for common commands. Supports a serial mouse on com1 for the interface. Oh, and I finally found the walkthrough! (but play without it for as long as you can, since this game has nice oldskool flava)
Temple of Apshai Trilogy	79 KB	c	p	?	n	8086
The Amazing Spider-Man		c,e,v	p,a	y	n	all
The Colony		c,e,v,h,t,X	p	y	n	8086	Buggy game, but 3D adventure

The Pawn -- A Magnetic Scrolls Adventure	385 KB	v,?	p	y	n	?	Magnetic Scrolls adventures were text adventures of Infocom's quality, but also had additional graphics of your current location. Many say they were ahead of their time. Only seven were produced, sadly.

Wasteland	695 KB	c,e	p	y	n	all	Probably the best RPG ever created in its time... Incredibly rich universe, well-drawn graphics, NPC's have personalities (and wills) of their own (they can actually refuse to do something or share their money), and the list goes on and on. Full docs are included. This is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time. If you need the manual in a different format than Microsoft Word, different versions of the manual (and game, for that matter) are available at Rubblefanger.
Weird Dreams	495 KB	c,e,v	p	?	n	286+	Weird game with excellent graphics
Windwalker	530 KB	c,C,e,v,t,h,X	p,a	y	n	?	Sequel to Moebius (but Moebius has more charm ;-)
