I never owned a PC in the 1990s, but I do know 1992 was when VGA was fully standard. So while I was aware a handful of games still using EGA was being made in '92 (and even '93), like from ID Software, I was really surprised to see a few games in '92 still using CGA, like Bolera. I was under the impression that Monuments of Mars and Arctic Adventures, both from 1991 were the last games to use CGA (made by Apogee). From what I can gather was those two games I mentioned were likely the last games using CGA in United States, as games like Bolera was made in a country where VGA was probably still an expensive luxury, rather than standard.
Gary I'm looking for an old PC kid's game released around 1994 that came on CD that was entirely red with little or no writing on it. It featured a picture matching or flipping game with an island setting and a skull cave. Any ideas? It was a very distinctive disc but it might have been a CD sampler.
I remember playing some of them on our Amiga 500 in my childhood......Utopia, Nicky Boom....heh, seems we had a quite obscure taste in games back then :D
*Turn on closed captions to see the titles!*
Or better yet, leave them off and see how many you can name...
6:44 I've been looking for this game for 20 years!

I remember OverKill (you could upgrade your ship with powerups) and surprisingly few others!
Many of these are still more fun to play than new games.
The various "Unknown" CGA games were made by a spanish developer called Ángel García Delgado, the company called "Ediciones Manali".
Nice list, I played some of these games but never heard abour most of them.

Unfortunately, that doesn't sound familiar.
We will keep an eye open for a game featuring picture flipping/skull caves in the future!
I love how much innovation we had back in the day. Now games are too similar, especially AAA games.

I've seen Battle on the Black Sea when I was child (and played DOS games on mother's work) - now it's looking less fun, here in Ukraine
loved
