Old-School Gameplay: HOVER (part 1)

I've decided to take a bit of a break from MUGEN videos, and do some other gameplay vids. First, I present to you, "HOVER". This game was included on the OS disk for Windows 95. There's a reason why it wasn't sold on its own, and that is because it's closer to a minigame than a real full game. The levels repeat every 3 levels (though more drones and flags get added). There's no music (there's a way to trigger it, I just forgot how), and this game ran when 256 color GFX cards were state-of-the-art. However, you have to appreciate the fact that it's addicting as all hell.

Background music is triggered by clicking on Options, sounds, then OK.

Oh my. We used to have that game on our school's pc, and played it all the time. :) I was always interested in game's backstories, and I wondered about why they were racing and what those places were. Pity there weren't any backstory.

But the game was great, especially at it's time. I should try to play it again some day. :)

Older Windows/DOS games should be released as 'classics' more often. It is rare to see games like this on 360's XBLA, for example.
