Two games using the Jill engine, which are diverting to play, Xargon and Onesimus (Which even uses many of the graphics, I tend to think of it as a Jill levelpack, good stuff!)You're talking about Xargon.
I've got it on an external hard drive, amongst other Epic Megagames releases, and every Apogee game.

It IS. It was 'inspired by' Jill, which tells you something.
What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.
The psx game sounds like Jumping Flash. It's quite rare actually.VikingBoyBilly wrote:I actually recall two games I can't remember the name of I want to see again.
One was a PS1 game where you played as a robot rabbit and it was an FPS. I know the title contained some kind of pun like "rabbot" or something. Each map was just a big place you could explore, really. You could beat enemies by jumping on them or by shooting powerups you picked up, one of which was called a "cherry bomb", and as you might guess it was literally a cherry that blew up.
There was this old mac game, I doubt any of you have ever seen it. I think the title involved the word "playhouse" or "clubhouse" or something to that effect. I got it in floppies. It was another one of those edutainment games where you're in this room with a mouse wearing overalls or something and there's this green monster with one eye, no arms, and a birdo nose. There was this kid-pix like thing where the backgrounds are already made for you and all you get to do was put pre-made stamps on it. There was also this crazy board game. I really don't remember what it involved at all, but I do remember it could be 2 players, where one player piece was the mouse and the other was the green monnster thing (or maybe both were monsters and one of them was orange).
The mac game is Treehouse, one of my favorite early games.

It sounds like a text-mode game. There aren't too many of those, so if you just try searching "Apple II text-mode" and read through the entire list, you should find it if it's available.wildrooster wrote:I'm looking for an old Apple IIe fantasy game. I was like 10-12 last time I saw it. All I remember is that the box art featured a pyramid. I think most of the graphics were done using characters (@#$$%#). You were some guy wandering around. I remember something about honey combs.
Dunno. Long shot. I've searched high and low.

Playroom. Fun game, especially liked the mouse hole board game.

You might be talking about 'The Amazing Writing Machine' It had the KidPix style graphics editor and it did word processing. The music youre talking about may be in the 'typing sounds' or something.RoboBlue wrote:There's something else I think it could be, but I can never remember what it's called.
From what I remember, it had a word processor, a kidpix-style painting program, and I think something for music. The version I had was for dos/windows 3.1.
I've got the CDROM for it somewhere around my house.

I have the original install for BOWEP, that works just fine on Windows XP. I'm pretty sure it'll work on a newer OS as well. PM me if you want the file and we can make arrangements to get it to you.Genius314 wrote:Anyone who can get Rodent's Revenge and Pipes from BOWEP to work on a modern version of Windows will forever be awesome.

That's just weird, because they all work just fine on my XP system -- and I'm not using any compatibility modes, either.Genius314 wrote:I have the BOWEP games, they just don't work. Not on XP, not on Vista, not on 7, not even in WINE.
I installed them from the original install package, which may have installed any necessary .dll files.
