I found this game in a cdrom called "Galaxy of games", my dad buy this because theres 500 games in a single cd, for a christmas gift. Nice christmas with my brother. Love you Dad !
I was too young to play this, but I remember my brother never getting past level. One. The game is older than he is, but we had a way- outdated computer. I actually feel blessed for it XD
+altrogeruvah A lot of people got this on Shareware compilation discs, I've seen alot of people discussing what it was called and where the disc is from on my old video on this game on my old RUclips channel. The video has a lot of comments.
I got it from such a disc too, somewhere back in the 90's. Loved Micro Man, he somehow reminded me of Spiderman (because of his colors and him walking on the ceiling, sortof; 3:43), hehe.
Thank you very much for this speedrun of MICRO MAN. I never completed this first part...too difficult. With KEEN DREAMS..one of my first ever pc game played. greetings from frankfurt, germany! manfred
+Doug Holmes Were I'm from we didn't had that, at least we didn't have it. We started using the interwebs in 1996 by phone(line) on a 56kb modem hehe. And we were not alowed to use it for too long, and it was slow as hell.
at least you had a 56K, our phone lines could only handle 28.8K up until we good broadband in 2002, but we at least got a second phone line for the internet in 97-98 I believe. We only could download a few small games, if it was over 10 MB we didn't even try
I remember that I had Oddballz for which you could download new eggs. Me and my brother had to pick one each which we were allowed to download. I remember mine being somewhere around 800KB (called Snowbo) and my brothers one was somewhere around the 1MB (The 101 Dalmation). It took somewhere around 30 minutes to download both back in the day. We got (slow) cable in 1997 and right now we can download up to 7000kbp/s, which should download both of them in 0,2 seconds.
I just threw countless resource extractors at the program file and none of them get 16 bit applications, so none are able to find that beautiful twang sound.
Oh, I had this and many other games on a disc that contained a bunch of old games like this. I enjoyed this one, and another one called Zeke the Geek. This was sometimes frustrating because it had some teleports that would get you stuck and forced to restart. I also wish the character moved a bit faster, but I still had fun playing it.
The other one was Zeek the Geek Part 1, a surprisingly good puzzle game that I liked a lot too. Those two, plus shareware Heretic, Winged Warrior 2, and Aro 2 were the ones that really grabbed my attention as a kid. I am pretty sure that the Winged Warrior 2 demo was the real reason why I was obsessed with rpgs when I was younger. And Heretic was why I always preferred FPS in a fantasy setting.
Remember having in on my first computer i got in spring 1999 at age of 15, the computer had it included and i had a cd rom that i had som game with a character similar to the villian Predator including Jazz Jackarabbit. This games tear me up realising how fast time has passed, thoose were the good old days.
2:40 I still remember their was a glitch in this game after defeating this boss the door gates opened and if you enter that door and wait for sometime and again come back then this boss get rebirth again but he fights in a opposite position😂😂😂😂
I had a disc with this game and several others. I’m looking for another game I got with this where it was maybe a vertical shooter like Centipede but all sounds were iconic movie lines. From Back to School “Ahhh Ahhhhh!” To Aliens “game over man, game over” and plenty of Evil Dead/Army of Darkness. What game am I looking for?
Is this your run? If so I can add it to the leaderboard if you want. Right now it's just me on there, and it's lonely :P I'd have to do a run on "Normal" speed though.
Let's see. 1. The character doesn't seem to be fun to control. The movement is very slow and controls feel stiff. 2. Low framerate. 3. Enemies are often cheaply placed and their attacks can't always be dodged. 4. Skippable flying saucer encounters. 5. Invisible objects. 6. Long winding corridor after beating the final boss. Reminds me how many AAA make you hold down forward key in "cinematic" moments. Not only that, but the game gives you powerups, thinking there's more but then it just ends. 7. Did I miss anything? It was already 1993. Looks like the game developer didn't learn from the design decisions of other platformers at a time.
This game is loved because the shareware episode was on a lot of shareware disks and compilations. And one of the first platformers that didn't run on DOS but on Windows.
OH MY GOD THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD
Me too!!
Me 7
mi-mi-mi-microoo
Invisible platforms and air jumps. Okay. About 25 years too late on this revelation.
I found this game in a cdrom called "Galaxy of games", my dad buy this because theres 500 games in a single cd, for a christmas gift. Nice christmas with my brother. Love you Dad !
Oh dang I remember galaxy of games, Comet busters, nitemare 3d, demo disks were such a wild time in gaming.
Yeah same - Hugo’s haunted house
wow, i found that game in a cdrom as well bro, what a good memories and moments I got with that cd and game.
I remember this, it was like the first video game I ever played. Wow, lotta memories and frustration with this golden oldie.
I was too young to play this, but I remember my brother never getting past level. One. The game is older than he is, but we had a way- outdated computer. I actually feel blessed for it XD
X2
I was 4 yo.
Oh man, I had that game in a sampler disc from a PC games magazine in the 90s! Good memories ~

Shareware compilation disc, that's exactly what it was! Mine was from a magazine that has been defunct decades now.
I got it from such a disc too, somewhere back in the 90's. Loved Micro Man, he somehow reminded me of Spiderman (because of his colors and him walking on the ceiling, sortof; 3:43), hehe.
Omg same! I think it was a floppy disc though
I loved all those games.
We need a modern release of this game TBH. Love it!

Yes we do!
Remaster this master piece 😂
This game got a remake roughly 15 years ago. It was kinda bad.
I used to play this on my mum's windows 95 PC.
Thank you very much for this speedrun of MICRO MAN. I never completed this first part...too difficult. With KEEN DREAMS..one of my first ever pc game played. greetings from frankfurt, germany! manfred
@@somebody700 Yes, we did!

Man, I was looking for this game, and I found it after many years, thanks man.
Aaaaaaaaand just like that I'm in 1995.

My brother and I played this religiously!!! We laugh about the graphics and sound effects all of the time!!
I'm crying in 2020
I remember this from a disc in the mid-90s called Way Cool that was put out by Quantum Axcess. Always got lost and could never beat it!
[ MM ] OH MY LORD I found this game on my Galaxy of Games CD but I completely forgot about Way Cool!
Same. "300 games!"
I remember playing this as I kid late 90s Inc my compaq desktop
Compaq…. Haven’t heard that in decades… ❤
Wow. Micro man. I had a blast playing this as a 5 or 6 year old.
25 DOLLARS for the entire game!
Bro thx for this image quality!!
I made a shopper map based on your video. Check !wmdb 36409. :)
Nostalgie! Eerst gespeeld op Win 3.11.
Jugaba este juego cuando tenia como 5 años en una compac con Windows 95. Que bellos recuerdos
I remember downloading and trying this game from the games section on AOL 3.0 way back in the 90s

You were lucky to have a 56K, our phone lines could only handle 28.8K lines until we got broadband in 2002!
Love this game as a kid
This game is like 1000x better than the stupid short games they make nowadays.
PS5 remake is gunna be insane

When you find it, share it with us on Discord!
sounds arent compressed. You can open it with a sound programm, that supports importing raw binary data. If it is WAV you could also use a hexeditor.

1001 Games
Maybe it was Galaxy of Games. It had this, Gravity Well, a game called Brain Waves, Critical Mass, Exile and tons of other freeware titles.

Dude zeke the geek!!!! I knew I recognized the name. When I looked it up, I got such nostalgia. Thank you ☺️

Man where do i find this i want to play it. So many fun times and loved the music.
I believe there was a secret in the room with the three springs... but I can't be sure. It was so long ago ^^
Whenever I hear micro (anything) I hear it in this opening tune.
This took me back ❤❤❤
2:40 I still remember their was a glitch in this game after defeating this boss the door gates opened and if you enter that door and wait for sometime and again come back then this boss get rebirth again but he fights in a opposite position😂😂😂😂

What is Brian Goble doing nowadays I wonder
He's running some NFT based gaming company.
Played this game in our old IBM APTIVA pentium 100 mhz. Good times!
There was a windows game called kids castle i think that had a boss named fingersnail who has snails for hands
I played this on a demo version. it came with the cereal box. 😂😂 Those days when you always got a free toy or demo pc game 😊
8:50 LOL Is he still living there? Can i still send him the 25 Dollar in a letter?
I don't know. I looked him up. Turns out he worked on Claw (1998) and Blood II too!

@@Dosgamert isn't "Tron" the most famous game he worked on?
@@SpongeBob_SchwachKopf might be! Can't say that I played that!
@@Dosgamert but it is normal in the USA to send dollar bills in an envelope?
@@SpongeBob_SchwachKopf
Wasnt it a full version?
I had a disc with this game and several others. I’m looking for another game I got with this where it was maybe a vertical shooter like Centipede but all sounds were iconic movie lines.

Does anyone know a two-disk game get for windows (one green and one yellow disk) named “top 300 windows games” or something similar ?
Underrated game
mi infancia verdadera, amo los juegos de antes
DOs game - Win9x Game =D
Is this your run? If so I can add it to the leaderboard if you want. Right now it's just me on there, and it's lonely :P I'd have to do a run on "Normal" speed though.
Who else used to play this off the CD with 250 games?
any ideas how to run it on a modern computer?
Dosbox -> Windows 3.11?
Can somebody please tell me what game this was on it had this and a bunch more I’ve looked everywhere on the internet
It was in a lot of shareware bundles, but I had it on the Show & Go Video Arcade Classic by Laser Magic.
I was 13. Could never beat it.
How do you shoot? Can't figure out the fire button
Where can I play this game?
Chocada que eu joguei errado minha vida toda
This game looks like a lot of guesswork.
Yep. It can be a bit tricky every now and then.
I played this on Romsoft’s House of Games cd.
Chatgpt help me to find this game again, dont remember the name... makes me happy to hear the sounds and music again 😂
The hidden platforms was cheap imo.
브금 듣고 싸버렸다...
Look like spider man
Let's see.
1. The character doesn't seem to be fun to control. The movement is very slow and controls feel stiff.
2. Low framerate.

Bet you're fun at parties.
This is basically a techdemo turned into a game.
lol what a terrible game
