A downloadable game for Windows

Buy Now$1.99 USD or more

Remember those lovable-cheap "20 (or 40 or 50 or 100) Games For Windows" CD-ROM's that were available everywhere in the 1990's?

Well, I wrote a lot of those games. If you bought one of those $9.95 CD-ROM discount packs from Expert or Cosmi, you have probably played my games. And now those games seem to be available in a lot of those "abandonware" sites for free download, despite the fact that I still own all the rights.

If you liked those old games, and you actually want to own 'em legally, you're in luck, because I've packaged FIFTY of my old games in a brand new "Retro Pack". It's just like your old "Super Amazing Games for Windows 95", except it actually runs on newer stuff.

The Retro Pack has arcade games! You can test your sushi-eating and squid-avoidance with Suzy Sushi. You can hone your skills defeating aliens in Invaders From Neptune and Zap Pod. You can dodge crazy drivers in Head On Collision or blast enemy tanks in Think Tank. There is even an oddball arcade version of Poker!

You may have played the old standard card solitaire and dice games a million times, but have you tried Siege, Vanishing Cross, Kizbot or Brain Bones? The Code Zone Retro Pack has some interesting new games that you will enjoy learning and (hopefully) winning.

The Retro Pack has several fun board games. Whether it is classic stuff like Backgammon or Moku, or if you want a new kind of challenge with PangKi or Engulf, the Retro Pack has what you need.

If your brain needs some exercise, the Retro Pack has brain benders! If you like word games, there are some great Cryptograms. If logic puzzles are what you need to keep your brain trained, you can test your skills in Deductive Logic. Finally, if you think you know everything about how to beat Tic-Tac-Toe, see how well you do in 3D!

And to top it all off, every game has plenty of variations and options available, so you can change the challenge once you think you have mastered the game.

Fifty fun little games for one low price!

Thanks for the heads up on that. Do you have a direct link?

What was it like being a dev for these kinds of games? Did you have to come up with ideas and then code at lightning speed?

Pretty much.  It was all in C++, and I re-used as much code as possible from game to game. Which actually works out well if you're doing card/board/dice games because there's plenty you can keep from game to game.

I swear Siege is unwinnable. I have never come close.

this is the most windows 95 looking stuff I have ever seen and I love it
