Are you thinking of Stupid Invaders?
I got Toonstruck to work rather nicely on XP using the latest version of DOSBox. This was back in about April or so. |

Ah thankyou, yes I think that might be it!
I've just been really intrigued to play it, I'll have a look at that. I'll Google up the DOSBox too, is it just like a SCUMMVM for DOS games I guess?? |

Wow that sounds so good! I've got a tonne of old games, I can't believe I've never heard of that before. Thanks!

A lot of the games mentioned are pretty fun, but the neatest one I played in the days of old was Neverhood; claymation adventure, just fun and silly and you can only die in one obvious sport (although I thought it was a joke and hadnt saved oops
)

needless to say that people should really check out the underdogs to find some decent games:
http://www.the-underdogs.info/ one place of interest is the special collection of Amateur Underdogs: http://www.the-underdogs.info/collect.php?id=16 I agree with all the games mentioned, but one I quite liked about 10 years ago was Noctropolis. |

The problem with that place is some of those games are still commercially available. You could also find many of them on eBay (I would try either of those first personally). Edit: Hmm, maybe I don't understand that site well (I've never visited). It looks like if the games are still available to purchase, they have a link to the place selling them. I would personally still try eBay for some of the others (obviously except for the freeware games).

i like the site, it's good for reviews and stuff. it has tended to move towards the freeware realm of gaming the last couple of years. and now, it simply seems to be in disarray, as it hasn't been updated for months.
as for the questionable legality of the games, i got this off wikipedia (but of course!): The site claims to be more of a museum than a download site, offering what are now argued to be "great" games that never received due attention upon their initial releases (the "underdogs" referred to in the name). The site is careful about copyright concerns: if a game available for download becomes once more available for purchase, or if a game's copyright holder so requests, the downloadable files are removed, replacing them with a link to the site selling the game if applicable. the got into a lot of trouble 3 or 4 years ago for having copyright protected games on there, since then all seems to be ok. |
