One of my earliest memories in gaming. Still one of the weirdest games i've ever played. Mechanics I've never seen in any game since, extreme gore, still cute..
I must have spent well over a hundred hours in the demo when I was a little kid. The single snow map. With the audio bug if you EVER made the mistake of drowning a baldy or hairy. Dear god, that infinite audio bug. Only fair, though. I spent the whole game torturing them and they returned the favor.
I've never found a game that replicates even half the magic of this simple, stupid, wonderful game.
One of the first games I have played. It was just the demo version but i played for so many hours! since then it is my first love i have tried for so many times to get and play the full version. Funniest part of this journey i bought an original Atari game disc for lots of Money on Ebay because i didnt know Atari was a console not just the Publischer that hurts so bad ^^
I swear to myself one time i would play the full game and if its the last thing i ever would do !
Please help me to get my dream come true...
I played Baldies waay back in 94 from a demo disk that was sold in King Soopers. It has all the faults rts games of that era had but it made up for in charm and depth. You play as a group of bald humanoids who are in a total war with the hairies,a group of genocidal men with a full head of hair and beard. The gimmick of this game is that you can build housing and assign baldies to four sectors of the house and each has a role. Red baldies relax and reproduce,white baldies take the items you drop on the building to create traps,blue blue baldies maintain the house and green are soldiers who manufacture ammo or can be sent to harass the enemy. You assault the enemy by clicking on the enemy structure with a shield which then attracts your grunts who chase the hairies and shoot them or if close deck them with a powerful right hook. Your guys get close to an enemy structure and they start lobbing grenades or burst through the front door. It's a wonderful game and I can't endorse it enough.
Got the dmeo attached to some magazine, and I was so impressed back then I bought the full windows-version.
Turned out my computer though could run the game, eventualy couldn't handle all the moving particles in it, so I got stuck on the winter-world. But I was so enjoying it when I got my computer upgraded I went back to the drill, and even started to write a guide how to beat the levels.
There were so many levels that when I got stuck on the Pharao Mask map my attention finaly drifted, then new windows came, compatibility issues arrised and all that, but even today I dream of getting to the last level to figure out wether there is a big final Congratulation You Win screen.
IndyCar Racing IIThe fourth Papyrus racing game is the sequel to the 1993 IndyCar Racing. It uses many of the improvements which were introduced in NASCAR Racing. There are fifteen tracks in total, and the major features are 640x480 SVGA graphics, multiplayer support for two players, pit telemetry data for realism, interactive driving schools, enhanced artificial intelligence, in-game communication with the pit crew supporting speech recognition technology, and digital stereo sound.
You race in open-wheel cars and there are different driving views, with detailed physics and a realistic simulation of damage and controls. You can call up information about your car (fuel, tires, wings, wheel stagger) during the races at any time. Aside from the in-game paint shop, there was an active modding community at work with many custom car sets available online.Non-fiction
TOCA 2: Touring Car ChallengeTouring Car Challenge: TOCA 2 is the sequel to TOCA Championship Racing. Rather than focusing on traditional racing elements, Codemasters has taken the mechanics and structure of British Touring Car Championship and slapped it into a PlayStation CD. Because of this, the TOCA series is considered a niche racing game; something on the outskirts of the mainstream.

Spacewar!Spacewar! is one of the earliest digital computer video games. It is a two-player game, with each player taking control of a starship and attempting to destroy the other. A star in the center of the screen pulls on both ships and requires maneuvering to avoid falling into it.
In 1971 it was unofficially ported into a coin-operated PDP-11 machine and renamed Galaxy Game. As an arcade machine it was installed at the Tresidder Union at Stanford University in September, 1971, two months before the official release of Computer Space, the first mass-produced video game. Only one unit was built initially, although the game later included several consoles allowing users to play against each other.Action Science fiction
