Hey guys around 1995 I got my first pc with windows 98 and I didn’t have any games so my dad and I went over to our nearest CompUSA and I got a software cd called games surplus. It came with a bunch of games that were either demos, shareware, or freeware. When you popped the cd in it would show a box in the background and have a bunch of different options you could choose.

There was one game in particular on that cd that I really enjoyed. I think it was called gang wars or thief or gang lands or something. The game started off with a small person icon on a map of a city. You could only take a couple of steps before the day changed.

The game let you hire some people from the loan shark, and when you commit certain crimes like kidnapping children from the “playground” you can hold them for ransom but then you get to the drop off point and you enter either a mini game where you have to chase the kid who took the ransom money under your nose or you might have to go into a battle with the police.

The game also allowed you to hold up diners or banks but depending on your “gangster” status they either took you seriously or they kicked you out. BTW you start the game off with only your fists (or it might have been a knife)
I know this is very vague and long but if anyone knows what this game was called and where I could get my hands on it I would be forever grateful. Please email me @ Vergilus@gmail.com if you might know.

What is the game where you have to get to collect things on the screen. You had to go through doorways/entries which would then open, letting spinning “enemies” out. If they hit you, you would die. I can’t remember what it is called. I want to say “dodger” or something like that. Where can I download it?!!

What is the game with the grid made of dots, with the pole/pipe/stick that revolves around one, and then you skip to the next dot, and if the pipe swings over a fuse, the fuse lights and blow this thing up…
