Looking for really old (Windows 3.11) games

C

Chaos Master

Hello people.

I am looking for the games that were in the "Windows Entertainment Pack" that
was for Windows 3.11. Some games I would like to find are the "Pipe Dream" and
the "Life Genesis" game (plays the "rules of life" game), among the others that
came.

Does someone here knows where to find those games, or games that are similar to
those? I've googled for them but nothing very useful.

Thanks.

====================================

Dunno about the ones you've mentioned, but the old Win 3.11 games listed
here are still readily available. Some games are not playable on modern
machines
because of the uncontrollable speeds .. you'd have to employ the use of some
kind
of slo-down program.

1. For games in general: You should try alt.comp.freeware.games
2. Microsoft's 'Windows Entertainment Pack' is not freeware;
perhaps it can be regarded as abandonware.
3. Download 'Best of Windows Entertainment Pack' incl. Pipe Dreams here:
http://therhogue.com/tripeaks.htm
or here:
http://home.tiscalinet.ch/eddie2002/download.html

4. Pipe Dream clones are aplenty; google turned up several at once.

HOTU has the original, Pipe Dream, and the european version: Pipe Mania
Molefest: http://www.rbsite.freeserve.co.uk/robcstf.htm
EmPipe: http://www.emurasoft.com/games/index.htm
Search for this: 'Pipe Dreams' v.1.1, 85 KB, 1990, Scott Thomson
PipeFun (shareware) http://game.downloadatoz.com/pipe-fun/

Do you have a URL for this collection? It would be nice if they are
available as you listed them, executables.

Excellent selection! I noticed Sopwith Camel, my all time favorite
in the 80's, is not on your list. It's a 43k exe that takes time
to master and see the final screen. :)

Excerpt from my Sopwith files:

Sopwith on the Net

Sopwith.org (aka Falcon's Sopwith Page)
Bymel's Sopwith Page
Visa Korkiakoski's Homepage

Download Sopwith from this Site

If unable to locate it from these clues, I can email it.
