Big List of Mods of Apogee/Epic/other 90s dos shareware games besides FPS
Re: Big List of Mods of Apogee/Epic/other 90s dos shareware games besides FPS
I put a couple updates to the list in the last few days, namely in regard to ZZT and OMF 2097. Please feel free to share this list anywhere. I don't really participate on other dos related forums right now. I've posted the list before on a few discords, fb groups and Reddit, but there's probably more that could be done to introduce it to people who would like to check these things out!

So, I've thought of adding to the Modding Wiki missing entries for Jill of the Jungle and Xargon, thus making lists previously added here less needed, but looks like the author of Xargon: Uncharted Isle has already started.
Another game I've considered tackling is Bio Menace, but I'm not sure about the relevance of the following mods, since they mainly aimed to replace graphics or texts. Then again, the Keen Wiki has a separate category for skin mods and another page for translations, so chances are the BM mods in question may be added.
Bio Menace - Jessica Viper: https://pckf.com/viewtopic.php?t=3307
Last download link: https://picturechaos.dk/Patchzer/Comman ... e_v1.0.zip
Hungarian translations (I'm unsure download links still work):
Episode 1 - https://pckf.com/viewtopic.php?t=3901
Episode 2 - https://pckf.com/viewtopic.php?t=3941
Episode 3 - https://pckf.com/viewtopic.php?t=3943

Re: Big List of Mods of Apogee/Epic/other 90s dos shareware games besides FPS
I've just updated this page: https://moddingwiki.shikadi.net/wiki/Bio_Menace/Mods
In particular:
- Added an entry for my Turbo Shuttle demonstration level, which is bundled with a re-release of the July 1992 beta.
- Also added links to videos where previously not present.
- Replaced the download link for Keen: Crisis Earth within the Modding Wiki page with a working link from the Keen Wiki.
- Further simplified description of one of the entries. Such information probably fits more in a separate Wiki page, in case anyone adds such a page. Unsure which place may be appropriate when it's not Keen-themed.
Still not added to the Modding Wiki page in question are the Hungarian translations of the episodes (due to download links I'm yet unsure if they're functional) or the EGAGRAPH.BM1 mod Jessica Viper.

The first Halloween Harry mod I've ever heard of is now added to the list!
Re: Big List of Mods of Apogee/Epic/other 90s dos shareware games besides FPS
It's interesting that in 2025 there's the first Halloween Harry mod. But I can't figure how to play it. I've tried both Alien Carnage v1.0 and the shareware version. Any other version or ideas?
Re: Big List of Mods of Apogee/Epic/other 90s dos shareware games besides FPS
I didn't test it out myself yet but maybe try with the registered version that uses the Halloween Harry name rather than Alien Carnage? I've reached out to the author to confirm how to install it.
Re: Big List of Mods of Apogee/Epic/other 90s dos shareware games besides FPS
Instructions from the author - download full version of Halloween Harry from rgb classic games. Replace some of the files in the directory with the ones in the mod zip file. Then you're all done
