Hi all,

In the mid 90s I used to play some games written by a company called Wizard Games based in Scotland. They had a few soccer games, a greyhound racing one and one about a rock band? Does anyone know whether there are any repositories online I could check out to try and find some of them? Google has failed to be my friend on this occasion. Thanks for any tips.

Have you checked with AudioGames to see if they have these games listed? They can be found at www.audiogames.net

You might check out the internet archive (I don't remember the url, but google might help). Google "internet archive" or "way back machine", though the latter might give you a bunch of stuff about Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Do you remember the site for Wizard Games? If they had one, that is.

Hi all,

Thanks - I've found the game, the archive proved to be a good suggestion. I got the game in the early 90's so it was before websites were that common, I remember sending away for the 3.5 inch disc.

Yep, the good old floppies. How fast did those games run? About thirty seconds or so to start and stos?

Hello, can you please tell me what the games are about?
I remember myself playing some old doss games from the pcs games. I got a doss interpreter to run the games.
What are these games witch you discussed here about?
