Hyperoid (1991) : One of the earliest open source Win16 games. Gold Pusher (1995) : Grotty boulder-dash like where you must push a pot of gold to a rainbow. Also interesting in one of the few artillery games that lets your tank aim DOWN !- Fractal Fighters (1997) : Interesting real-time take on the artillery formula, which hadn't been done much.

Translated from JapaneseĬombat Tanks (1994) : like Atari's Combat but there's CPU tanks coming in from all angles and they're damage sponges.Ĭomet Busters (1994) : classic win16 asteroids clone with loads of CG graphics and asteroid graphics variants. FLASHING WARNINGĬar Chase Game, or Killer Cars (1994) - Head-OnĬockroach! (1994) : swat cock roaches. Nice production values until you realize it's too fast.
