iratanam #1 Posted April 16, 2008 Anyone still have the old dos Champ Games, Champ Kong, etc. etc. I had almost all of them until we moved and I lost the cd they were backed up on. Along with my backups of Commander Keen and a few others, the Commander Keen series was np to get as ID had them on their website full versions updated for windows.

iratanam #3 Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Anyone still have the old dos Champ Games Visit this website. Seen this page before, most of the download links don't work. Always get redirected to a page that says the following: Error 404 - Not found Die angegebene Seite konnte nicht gefunden werden.

It's really nice to know that someone is still getting some enjoyment out of them - it certainly was a joy making them. Have fun! - John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleman jack #7 Posted April 18, 2008 Try the website www.dosgames.com. I think they still have links, as well as champ-em-games website. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+johnnywc #8 Posted April 18, 2008 Try the website www.dosgames.com. I think they still have links, as well as champ-em-games website. All of the Champ Games (even old-old versions) can be downloaded at: Champ Games download section If there is any interest, I could post the downloads for the unreleased versions of Frog-em and Burger Climb. Both are about 50% done (non-playable). I'll have to dig through my old code to see if I can track them down... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jess Ragan #9 Posted April 18, 2008 How well do they work on an NT version of Windows? I've noticed that roughly half the DOS-based games I try to play on my Windows XP laptop crash 'n burn before they can even begin. Yes, I know I could just get DOS Box, but having to hunt down MS-DOS and the emulator to run it would be kind of a pain in the rump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inky #10 Posted April 18, 2008 I had to use DOSBox to run them in Vista. Id prob do the same in XP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Hi there - I haven't spoken to Manuel in a while (he's the one who runs the Champ-em website) - I'm not sure why the links don't work. When I get home I can either post the downloads here (they're fairly small) or if you want you can shoot me a PM with your email and I can send them that way. It may take me a while to find them (it's been 10 years!) but I know I have them archived somewhere... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sup man.. as you know I've been a fan of the Champ ports since you started posting them on the net. But yeah it's been a while since I've tried them.. and I sure as heck don't know where I've put them all over the years. If you could repost the binaries that'd be great! And, I'll see what I can figure out about playing them in NT based systems (i.e. XP) as far as if there's any easy fixes with the compatibility settings off the bat.

I agree with the some of the others, DOSBox is the best bet and seems to work great when using in VIsta and/or XP. Personally I play them on a old 486dx4 running msdos 6.1 and windows 3.11 (I've kept this system running all these years just so I can for sure play all the old dos games I still love.)

+johnnywc #21 Posted April 24, 2008 I found the original disks - here are the binaries: ASTEROCK.ZIP CENTIPED.ZIP GALAGON.ZIP GALAXIA.ZIP INVADERS.ZIP KONG.ZIP MSPACEM.ZIP PACEM.ZIP I'll see if I can find the Burger Climb & Frog-em prototypes... Enjoy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+johnnywc #22 Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) Well- I found Burger Climb & Frog-em... Both are about 40% done; unplayable, but a good peek at what could have been. I also found some preliminary alphas for Lady Bug-em (aka Lady Bug) and Star Fortress (aka Star Castle) that showed some good progress. Unfortunately, I can't find a couple proof-of-concept demos I had done for Moon Buggy (Moon Patrol) and Tutank-em (Tutankham) that were pretty cool (my first attempts at parallax and tile scrolling, respectively). Anyway - got a little carried away there... Enjoy! BURGERC.zip Frogem.zip PS - These don't have proper installation programs - they'll have to be copied into a directory and a shortcut setup (I did have the icons however)...

NE146 #24 Posted April 24, 2008 Thanks! I just played a round of Champ Kong.. it runs fine in XP. There is zero need to use DOSBOX although i guess if you really want to go through all that you can. All I did was set the compatibility of the executable to windows95 and it ran fine. Amazing work you did there man.. still plays great to this day.

Lord Helmet #25 Posted April 24, 2008 Ooooh...I used to play the hell out of these. Especially Champ Kong. Utterly brilliant. Guess I need to get parallels running on my mac so I can play them again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
