The Fun! Factory: Games

Please note that most of the games written specifically for the 100LX and 200LX are not listed here. You can find information on them, as well as download them, at S.U.P.E.R. If you wish to view only the games category, just click here!

Any game titles in red indicate that I was unable to get the game to run on the palmtop. Don't forget that any information you have is of value - see the Submit page for more details!

Mach 3
Info		A unique but classy shoot-em-up with one of the many differences from standard shoot-em-up games being the view, which is from behind your ship. Unfortunately, it locked up every time I tried it on the palmtop, despite being CGA compatible. I'm guessing here, but it might just be a sound problem - the LX might be having trouble with the synthesised speech, but I can't think why.

Thanks to Ian Butler for sharing this game with me - it's a nice game, even if doesn't run on the LX!

Manhole
Info		The ever-so-slightly implausible plot behind this game is that you live in a land where plenty of manholes exist... but none are covered. Thus, you decide to save the poor citizens from falling through the various holes in the ground, by covering (one hole at a time, because you only have one manhole cover) them as they walk by. A test of reflexes, and you'll really need four eyes rather than two, to succeed. The good news is that it runs flawlessly on the palmtop.

Marble Madness
Info		Apart from needing the use of a slow-down utility (at least on my double-speed palmtop), Marble Madness seems to work fine. The only difficulty arises with the fact that the game is hard to play using a full-size keyboard; using the LX's keyboard makes for a real challenge!

Megapede
Info		This is a Centipede clone which runs in text-mode, and thus works well on the palmtop. Fast reactions and quick fingers definitely required; it's a tough enough challenge with a full-size screen and keyboard!
Status		Shareware, by Dom. Early
Runs on 95LX?		Yes, but problems will occur because of the smaller screen

Microsoft Decathlon
Info		As the name suggests, this game is a test of your athletic prowess... or, at least, your keyboard prowess. The game does work as it should (although a little quickly on my double-speed palmtop, so perhaps a slow-down program is in order), and is reasonably entertaining as well.

Mines of Titan
Info		A nice little RPG set on Titan, one of Mars' moons. Works well on the LX, although (as usual) the display can be a bit hard to see.

Thanks to Laust Brock-Nannestad for this information!

Montezuma's Revenge
Info		Unfortunately, I couldn't get the game to run slowly enough on my machine... despite using a slow-down utility! From what I can see, the game is a platformer, but any more than that, I can't tell! If somebody has got this running on their palmtop (the game looks to be fully CGA-compatible, and has no display problems), or has any more information, then please let me know!

Moon Bugs
Info		Similar to Round 42, this game uses a special CGA mode which is incompatible with the LX.

Mr. Ant
Info		Mr. Ant is from the same author as Manhole and, like the previous game, works well on the palmtop. This time, however, the gameplay is faster-paced and, in my opinion, more fun! Gameplay-wise, think of Boulder Dash with ants, and you'll get the general idea. With this game, a slow-down utility will probably be needed to make the game playable.
