ChrisSD: I'm looking for an old dos/win95 game that I once played as shareware but I can't for the life of me remember much about it. I think it was from the same sort of time as terminal velocity (I think they were both on a shareware disk or possibly just with different issues of the magazine). I do remember really enjoying it at the time and being a bit disapointed that it wasn't sold locally.

I can't really remember the gameplay but I'm pretty sure you played some sort of pilot (I'm not sure though). It had a story that involved some sort of conspiracy and I think the shareware version ended with your character laying on their bunk (possibly drugged) with the bad guys coming for them (but I maybe mixing this up with something else). The image I remember is of someone lying on a bed with the door to the room open and I think someone's shadow. I think it was set in the future on some alien planet or maybe mars, I can't quite recall.

If anyone can get what game this is I'd be really astonished, amazed and very thankful!

Fever_Discordia: Traffic Department 2192?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Department_2192

ChrisSD: Wow, that looks like it! And it's freeware: http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Traffic_Department_2192.html

It's supported by dos box so it shouldn't be a problem getting it to run. Thanks very much! You're amazing! It'll be interesting to see if my older self will enjoy it as much as my younger self did.

Gabelvampir: Sorry for bumping that 2 weeks old thread, I just stumbled upon it because of your other forgotten games thread.
Traffic Department 2192 seems to run better on older versions of DOSBox. Ancient DOS Games had an episode about it, he always has tips how to run the featured game in DOSBox. Take a look at it here: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/ep0058.html
It's a good show all around IMHO, so you should watch some other episodes about games that sound interesting to you. Or obscure stuff like Amulets & Armor (that recently got revived as a freeware game)
