DOS Games Discussion

Guest

I remember playing this game when I was little, and I really want to find out what the name of the game is so that I can play it again.

It was a platform game and the aim of the game was to climb ladders and jumping over enemies until you finally came to the top where a lady stood. When u reached her the next thing to do was to carry the lady down to from where u startet. Also it was more difficult to climb down because now some part of the paths had been splitted up.

We used to call this game laderun. Thats the weird part. Because i've googlet up the game lode runner but it dosen't seem like the man in the game can jump like the man in my old game did.
In my game the man couldn't run. I think he could walk slow and he could also jump over the enemies.
Also in my game the man and all other things were very little detailed.

When I see screenshots of the game Jumpman though it looks much more like my game, except there's no lady to save and the man is much more detailed than in my game.

This is really frustrating, so please help me.

Not LadderMan, I assume?

No, close, but it's not Ladderman.
It's a Donkey Kong clone, Champ Kong:

It's neither one of these two..
Though it does look like champ kong has kinda the same concept, so maybe i've played a very very early version of that game..?

The paths and ladders looks very similair and also i in my game the lady stood on a little path in the middle on the top just like in champ kong.

There was absolutely not a monkey or as much details as there is in these screenshots of champ kong though...

Hmm..

Hmmmm, not Champ Kong.
Are you sure it's even a PC game?
Not some console game you're searching?

I'm sure it's a pc game. I remember playing it at my grandma's pc.

Starting to think maybe someone made a mix of lode runner and jumpman, and thats the version I played. Dunno.

Maybe I played a real old demo version of one of those games or something..
Cause the weird thing is that me and my family used to call it laderun, so you would think it would be lode runner, but when i see screenshots of jumpman it looks much more like that, but then again the concept of jumpman isn't quite the same either..

When did you play it?
It's possible it was ON a PC, but not necessarily a PC game...

Dont think it's fast eddie either. I don't recognize the screenshots of it..

This screenshot of jumpman is the most alike picture i've seen.

I dont know exacly how many years ago i played it, but i'm 20 years old now, and I played it when i was very little, so think maybe about 15-11 years ago or something..

It might played it on Amiga.
