There were these 2 games I played as a kid in the early 90s. I have tried several ways to find the names of these games over the last few years with no luck so I thought this might be a good place to ask.
Game 1: The first game my friends and I used to play on a macintosh at school during breaks. IRC it was in black and white and it was an overhead action adventure somewhat like the zelda games. The most distinct thing I remember about it was that you started out the game right belows this castle. We would always go in the castle and there were guards walking around and we would go find this treasure room where it was full of chests of gold. As soon as you started to take the gold the guards would attack you on sight. We would take all the gold and try to get out of the castle alive where the guards wouldn't follow you. On the outside I remember there were giant spiders and such that could poison you, and there were small shops where you could be armor and weapons such as flails. Anyone help me out with this one? The room with the gold sounds like a giveaway if anyone has played it before.
Game 2: This game I used to play on my parents Windows 3.1 PC. It was 2-player where you played at the same time using the same keyboard. There where these 5 or 6 horizontal tracks and one player was on the left and the other on the right. Each player had a few different items to select from and the goal was to send these items from your side to the other players side and the first person to get a certain amount would win. The items where things like a bulldozer, a boxing kangaroo, and a gloved hand that looked like Thing with the hamburger helper glove on. It worked like a rock, paper, scissors when it came to determining what would happen if your item met your opponents item on the same track, each item could beat, and be beaten by at least 1 other item. Anyone have ideas?
Thanks for anytime you spend trying to help me remember these games. It's been driving me crazy for years everytime I try to remember the names and find them.
