    There was a game I really loved playing on my computer. I can’t seem to find it anywhere so maybe I must be crazy. It had a very similar layout and graphics to Chomp or Pac-Man. You were trying to escape from jail cells and had to collect the key to go forward. And the intro to the game depicted someone creeping in front of a brick wall, then a spotlight lands on then

    Does any one know the title of an old Windows 3.x game, where the protagonist collects apples, with a crunching sound sfx, and if you die, an audio clip of a baby crying plays back and if you mange to complete the stage, an audio clip of a baby laughing plays back? I vaguely remember that the background in the game was made to resemble a page of a notebook, with the lines drawn in.

    The most important thing is that you pay only for the game itself, and not for its content.

      Archive.org has a number of them. You can also poke around the CD section of textfiles.com.

      @@danbluehz20 Because this video refreshed my memory? Like Maxwell's Maniac or Pick Up Sticks, for example. Must have been like at least 16 years ago. Others like Bang! Bang! I remembered quite well. No greater competition between siblings than bombarding each other.

      Softgame still sells it, that's how I got my copy. Have you tried e-mailing Softgame about it? I inquired about buying the game many years ago and they were more than happy to work out a deal with me.
