Ok is it just me or does the title screen for Dragon Games looks really similar to the title screen of many of the early Automated Simulations games? Look at these screenshots:

 

Dragon Games

Rescue at Rigel

Same font, almost the same colors, similar order. There's something funny here...

Little Crystal

Wordfind Magic

 

Not sure how the second game is supposed to work so if anybody figures it out...

If it's anything like the Word Find program I used as a kid, then you just enter a list of words and it shoudl make a word search for you. I think you had to type the word END or something to stop entering words though. I'll look at this one tonight.

I can't wait to play this. How different is from the final release (graphic differences aside)? The levels look very different, how many are there?

Great Stuff, any chance anyone has a copy of Killer/Killa Cycle (not listed) think it was part of a compilation? Was a tron type game but supported 4 player simultaneous so would be great for the 800 :)

Thanks

Spiderman / Fantastic Four => Adventure International or budget re-releases?

Adventure International. Spiderman came in a curved cardboard box with a full color comic. Fantastic Four came in a short rectangular plastic hanger box.

 

Laser Hawk / Rocket Repairman / Freaky Factory => Red Rat Software or ICD?

These three are all ICD cardboard folio boxes. Individual disks are © Red Rat. Here's the (poorly printed :)) instruction sheets for each.
