Edit: Thank you all for your help, I've identified both of the games. The first game is Future Wars and the second is Tunnels of Armageddon.
So there were two games I played when I was just a wee lad, and I don't remember them much, but I would like to play them again. I figured here was the best place to post, since you guys here tend to have the most experience with older games. Unfortunately, my descriptions for both games will be very vague.
Mystery game #1: I played this when my father brought me to work for bring-your-kid-to-work day. I believe it was on a 3 1/2 inch floppy and I think it was on the same floppy as Battle Chess was. It was an adventure game (I think) and you started out as a window washer on the side of a building. I'm pretty sure you could pick up a can of paint, but I think that's as far as I got in the game.
Mystery game #2: It was a shooter where you flew a futuristic (I think) ship through a series of tunnels. The tunnels, if I recall correctly (my memory is very shoddy), were very rectangular and the graphics were quite poor. I think one of the enemies was just a box. I think you could get upgrades. My family always called the game Tunnels, but searching for a game with that name was fruitless.
I appreciate any help you can give me, as these are two old games that I really want to play again so I can appreciate them fully. Thanks.
