      I dont recall since I wanted to put it on a floppy for my 486 that I havent been able to mess with.  Is that a knock off?  If so I'll look at it  :D

      No, Hyrule Fantasy is the NES game. It's only translation of the japanese game title, I think.

        Don't recall a DOS version... If there was one, it likely wasn't licensed.

        there were some Java clones I saw.

        P.S: I never owned a NES either  ;)

          The NES was brilliant. Ahh the big cartridges you could throw at your brother when he annoyed you. May have to have a look around on ebay see if I can get a cheap one.

          probably not cheap... their about the same as SNES systems, which are around 200$ (although the one I got had several games)... now the cheapo dual catridge third party systems, on the other hand...

            Ignition and GTA


            Also, I had one game, dunno it's name, it worked on DOS/Win9x/WinXP and it was like those snake games, but you had a train to use instead of a snake.
            Your goal was to pick up things like diamonds, trees, sheep's, ice creams, computers, cakes, cars and so on

            When you cleaned a room, you would proceed to the next room

            Does anyone have a clue about what the game is called and where I can get it?
