DOS Games Discussion

[p.w]

I've looked for this game for a couple of years now (intermittently, not non-stop :p) with no success, though I've managed to find dozens of others. You guys're my last hope!

This is an "RTS" from the mid-late 90s where the player's job is to construct and maintain a village-like settlement. It is necessary to build huts for people to live in, which are connected either manually or automatically (can't remember) to the main area by a path. Other 'structures' include a well, a church, and a graveyard.

I distinctly recall one of the (probably early) missions pitting the player against invading zombies; another feature that was very distinct to a ~ten year old would have been how villagers realistically reproduce -- that is, a male and female villager will go into a hut, and some time later, a little kid villager will pop out.

Villagers would age appropriately, dying when the time came, which is how graveyards came into play.


This is the best I can do and hopefully it will be enough for somebody out there. Thanks in advance!

Jeez that was fast! Um... I WANT to say my game was a bit more colorful and cartoony, but I'm going to download this one just to make sure.

*downloading*

edit: I'm pretty sure there were a few humorous sound effects that played, for example during the "reproduction" phase, I believe there would be some sort of playful giggling heard. If that helps at all. *still downloading*


edit*2: I didn't account for the difficulty in getting one of these darned things to run! Figuring out a DosBox seems beyond my mental abilities at 4 AM so I'll have to leave it for the morning.

And in the meantime if there's any other suggestions as to what my mystery game might be, don't hold back. Thanks Dosraider!
