Obscure DOS Games: Pickle Wars

Welcome to my new series, Obscure DOS Games!

Our first game is Pickle Wars, an old shareware platformer by MVP Software. It ain't exactly what you'd call state-of-the-art, especially in 1993. The graphics are OK, the gameplay's not all that exciting, and the music... yeah.

If you want to try it out, go here. http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/117

@greenflame00 Try Squakenet. Same applies for any other DOS games you may want.

RATS NO SALAD

I remember downloading this off of the Kid's Only AOL channel when I was about seven or eight years old. It took FOREVER on our 28.8 modem...I remember the music...oh god...I wanted to play it for like three months before I got a chance to download it.

It made me not want to download shareware anymore.

This game was the shit.

I played this game so many times as a kid. And boy, am I glad that my old DOS computer didn't support music. :3

[MrTeekay101]

You can buy the game from Karen Chun's (formerly Crowther) website...

Also, the annotation commentary is definitely superior to the usual option of humourless and nasal failed snark.

The music sounds like... insanity.
