[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Looking for an old pc or apple game. Around 1982.

Posted: 12/23/2001 8:46:16 AM EDT

I can't remember which platform it was on, either the really old pre 286 ibm pc's, or the apple 2.
I remember it everyonce in a while, but can never find it.
It is a look down fighter. You have a shield and some weapon, I think is just a sword.
The guys look like they are dressed in padded armor of some sort, kind of like the Guyver(sp).
You run around looking for each other, and sometimes you come across these disks that float, and let you move very fast. You can cut off the other guys arm if he doesn't block fast enough, and blood splatters everywhere.
Maybe that isn't enough of a description but that is about all I remember of it at the moment.
Anyone remember, or still have it in there old collection?

I know the game you're talking about. Two players run or fly around on faster moving discs chopping off each others body parts before a good blow lands and you are killed. Different levels of armor - you can find pieces I think. You can maneuver your arm around so you can do glancing blows and stuff ( I recall having an axe fully extended and strafing my opponent). I had it for the apple 2 but now can't even remember it's name :(

Thanks, that at least narrows my searching a bit. I couldn't remember which it was. Back then I was lucky enough to have access to both systems, so I couldn't remember where to start looking.

Shooter69 and Redhorse
Thanks I found it finally. It is called bilestod.
Since Shotter 69 helped me narrow it down, I found a site that had the emulator for the apple to run on win 98, and the game rom.
Here is the place if you are interested.

Too bad it doesn't look as cool as I remember it. Still I will be playing it for a while.
The old ones are still better written.

I found about 400 of the disks in an old computer hutch I had. The games are somewhere else. I now remember I had something like 700 disks. 400 of the were games.

Yea, thats the name of the game. If I remember correctly the controls suck, but the graphics at the time were above par.

Speaking of old games:

What was the name of that kung fu game that was on Atari (don't remember the model...I had too many)? The story line was: Your girl gets captured, you have to fight a whole bunch of guys (side view) while running into a castle. Towards the end, you have to deal with the bad guy's bird, and then finally a show down with him. I can't for the life of me remember the name, or the exact platform. Maybe it was the Atari 64k? Commodore 64?

Karateka, it was for the Apple.

A couple of other neat gamez were Aztec and Rescue Radiers.

I used to love to play Load Runner.

Yea Karateka was cool.

Besides the arcade games: Pacman, Ms Pacman, Dig Dug, Moon Patrol, Spy Hunter, etc..

Some of my favorites:
Miner 2049er, Kings Quest series, Leisure Suite Larry, Goonies, Bard's Tale, Wolfenstein, Pirates, Summer Games, Winter Games, World Games, Wings of Fury, Zaxxon ...

Karateka was the game. Thanks Imbro! But, I never had a Apple, so it must've been multi platform. I can remember having a TI64, Atari 2600, 5200, and 7800, and Atari 64k. I played on the Commodore at my neighbor's, and the Apple at school.

Anybody remember the "Temple of Apshai" series. Used to play it on the TRaSh-80. D&D type game....when you entered a room you had to look up the room # in a book to find out what the monster and the treasure was.

Or how about Slag. Combination of Risk and Missle Command. It rocked.

There are web sites that are set up just for the downloading of these old obsolete games. I found some by accident while I was.......Uh never mind! Gotta go!

That was a great game, did you ever finish the original Lode Runner? My dad loves that game and he claims that he is the only person in the world to ever finish it. That was one of the hardest games to complete! I was wondering if you know where to get a copy of this game, the first one? Thanks... Andrewh:
I didn't mean to hijack your thread.

That's fine by me. Like I said, I did find it, and the place to download other games and emulators for the pc.
You can get load runner from there, and an apple emulator so you can play it on win98.

I played Load Runner until my keyboard wore out. I *still* have the hand-caligraphied certificate that Broderbund software sent out to the few of us who managed to complete the "Championship Load Runner" follow-on game.

Ah, yes!... I remember that game fondly. Your imgination provided the "graphics". My character "Dork the Dauntless" spent many an hour crawling through those ruins (sigh...)

I think I recently trashed the casette tape I had that game on. The TRaSh-80 when a LONG time before. I think I still have Zork on diskette around here somewhere. I wonder if it still works?

Should just about cover all your classic video gaming needs, unless of course you're looking for that classic Eniac game....Paper, Rock, Scissors.

I remember that game. I think it was battle something. I remember it was a cool game because you can chop off both arms.

I wanna play M.U.L.E. Anybody seen any ROM's floating around?

Edited: Found one. Will have to see if I can get a emulator set-up.
