SCROLL OF WINDOWS '95 GAMES ************************************************************************* FEB 1996 Spell 02 of 12 ************************************************************************* Hail Gamers! Now that Win95 has been released, I thought I'd inscribe a scroll of all the upcoming games that will have conversions to Win95, or made specifically for Win95, so we can decide if we want to wait for the Win95 versions or go for the DOS releases. Unlike my Address Tomes, there will be only 12 conjurings of this scroll. Each conjuring will take place on the 20th day of each moon in the realm of comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.announce. The last conjuring will take place on the 12th moon of the year 1996. Thereafter, the seers doth deem that the scroll be a waste of magic as henceforth all games are expected to be Win95 only or will have Win95 versions. Note that this scroll will only comprise those games which *require* Win95 to run, i.e., the Win95 versions of these games *cannot* run on any other OS except Win95. Games which can run on DOS/Win3.1 and also on Win95 will not be put on this scroll (otherwise we may as well put down every game title). Win95 conversions refer to the specific version of an existing title that can only run on Win95 and no other OS. The scroll is therefore not a Win95 *compatibility* listing. Email me if thou dost have additions to the list according to the above criteria. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- key: * = released ======================== Win95 CONVERSIONS ============================ * 3D Ultra Pinball (Sierra) All Star Baseball (Accolade) * Allied General (SSI) * Atari Action Packs 1, 2, & 3 (Activision) * Battle Isle III * Chessmaster 4000 Turbo (Mindscape) Cyberia II (Xatrix) Daedalus Encounter (Virgin) Descent II: Counterstrike (Parallax) Doom II (id) * Dust: A Tale of the Wired West (CyberFlix) * Fury3 (Microsoft) * Gabriel Knight II: The Beast Within (Sierra) Heroes of Might & Magic (New World Computing) Hexen (GT Interactive) IndyCar Racing 2 (Papyrus) IronBlood (Take 2 Interactive) * The Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time (Sanctuary Woods) * King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride (Sierra) * Knight Moves (MicroProse) * Lode Runner: The Legend Returns (Sierra) Magic: The Gathering (MicroProse) * Mechwarrior II (Activision) * Microsoft Golf (Microsoft) Mortal Kombat 3 (GT Interactive) NASCAR Racing (Papyrus) One Must Fall 2097 (Epic MegaGames) Panzer General (SSI) * Phantasmagoria (Sierra) * Police Quest: SWAT (Sierra) Quake (id) Return to Krondor (7th Level) Sail 95 (Vivid Simulations) * Shivers (Sierra) * Sid Meier's CivNet (MicroProse) * SimCity 2000 (Maxis) SimCity Classic (Maxis) SimTown (Maxis) * SU-27 Flanker (SSI) Super Bubsy (Accolade) * Torin's Passage (Sierra) * Trophy Bass: Outdoor Sportsman (Sierra) * Ultimate Doom (id) * Virtual Karts (MicroProse) * Widger Workshop (Maxis) Wizardry Gold (Sir-Tech) ========================= Win95 *ONLY* ============================= * Aces of the Deep Command (Sierra) AD&D: DeathKeep (SSI) * Al Unser Jr. Arcade Racing (Mindscape) * Beavis & Butthead in Virtual Stupidity (Viacom NewMedia) Chessmaster 5000 (Mindscape) Close Combat (Atomic) * Comix Zone (Sega) * Commodore 64 15-Pack (Activision) * Cyberspeed (Mindscape) * DogZ (PF.
