Title: Name a couple of games
Post by: motorollin on February 07, 2006, 03:02:01 PM: I've just remembered a couple of games I used to enjoy playing, but I can't remember their names.

The first one is a really old one. You were in a maze made of floppy disks and you had to push the floppy disks to make them slide until they hit the edge of the screen or another disk. The idea was to hit viruses with the disks to destroy them.

The other game was a lode-runner clone which had loads of extra features, including your character having the ability to jump and hang on to the edge of platforms like in Prince of Persia.

If anyone can help me identify these games I'd be grateful :-)

The second one. Could it be "Minerunner" or "Mother Lode"?

I seem to think that the first game was by Tobias Richter, though I can't be sure.

Get the "King Fisher" and it's DB and search there.

Maybe your lucky

In the game I am thinking of you push the floppy disks and try to hit the viruses. When you pushed them your character made a kind of blowing noise.
