There's a fun little freeware DOS Asteroids-like game called Obliterator:


I'm pretty certain I have played something like that game some time ago, maybe under Windows. It's quite fun and has neat music too. Download: OBLIT_0.ZIP

Splaymaster.

It's hotseat space ship combat. No registration information or nagging, so possibly freeware.

I've been browsing through the archived copy of Webfoot Technologies' website, who had published Inner Worlds. They have some interesting-looking shareware games, like 4th Generation, B.A.D. and Interpose (you can check assorted screenshots from each game by clicking on the "Screen Shots" option on respective pages).

[Edit] These pages also have some (rare) art from Inner Worlds (see their "New releases" section on the catalogue page).

[Edit2] Found a shareware version of Interpose (plain files):

[Edit3] The company's proper name is Webfoot Technologies, Inc., and not Webfoot Games as I mistakenly referred to it.

Found the archived copy of Twilight Zone Software's website, and there are working download links for the small demo and the Christmas Edition at their Interpose page.

Smiling Spectre at Abandonia Forums found another game at cd.textfiles.com:
B.A.D.: BAD.ZIP

Looks nice!

I thought Midnight Synergy sounded familiar when clicking the link, turned out they're the people behind Shadow Force.

They also have some neat newer games too

[Edit] I've tried to locate the shareware version, found info on v1.0, the archive is called CARNSW10.ZIP:

Unfortunately, in all cases the archive has a comment added by a third party.

Guess what, archive.org has a copy of their publisher, Beaucomm.com, and there's an intact download of the original file:

Operation Carnage shareware v1.0: carnsw10.zip

I've played Brain Storm Pro a bit, it's a very nice shareware puzzle game not unlike Brix. The shareware version has 20 levels. It starts with deceptively simple puzzles which get increasingly more difficult and challenging as the game progresses and new elements are introduced. The graphics and music are also very nice

Hmm, I've noticed that the site doesn't have Epic MegaGames' LineWars II in any form. There's a shareware version, while Patrick Aalto's website has the registered version as a free download.

Could you please get Star Hammer? I think it might be the sequel to Starfire, which you have. I remember that "Quicksilver" something was one of the companies listed in the opening credits. I think maaaaybe, but not sure, that Apogee might be one of the companies that worked on it. I know I played it in windows on an old computer, and that it was shareware, and that it would let you play all the way through to where you won. It is one of my very favorite games. I can try to remember more info that would help you find it if you like. Thank you again!

Star Hammer is available from a number of places, for example, here: HAMMER10.ZIP

The company is called Silver Lightning Software.

Thank you so much, MrFlibble! I've been wanting to play this game for so long! Ooh, I see you have to buy it. Is there any legal way to play Star Hammer for free?

It's a shareware version, with a large portion of the game available for free.

I don't think the game is sold now, but it hadn't been released as freeware officially either. So no, there doesn't seem to be a legal way to obtain the full version right now.

I've stumbled upon a shareware shmup called Nebula Fighter the other day. Created by and Italian developer Holodream, it was originally a DOS game but then it switched to Windows. The Windows demo is available from the developer's website, the DOS shareware version is found here.

Here's a review of the game:

Just stumbled upon a freeware RPG written in QBASIC called Dark Ages I: The Continents (not related to the Apogee side-scroller of the same name). It seems pretty nice.

You mention Prince of Persia 1 and Prince of Persia 2.

A major new release of the Prince of Persia level editor has been released today:

May be interesting to mention on your website?
