Appreciation &Review: Pendulous (PC,1992-1995) Shareware v.2.4 -A Great Simple Strategy Game

[A Black Falcon]

So, this month I got a very interesting reply to the version of this article on my site: http://www.blackfalcongames.net/?p=225#comment-71548

... It's a comment from the guy who originally made the game, Ken Carlino, and he not only found and liked my review/article on my site, but decided to put a copy of the registered version of the game available for download on his site, which is linked in his comment. Of course it's a 16-bit Windows 3.1 game, so you can't run it in a 64-bit Windows OS, but Win3.1 or 9x in DOSBox or a similar virtual machine can run it, and I just did that. It's really cool to play this game with no nag screens in the final version for the first time, and to see the rest of the maps that were only available in the registered version...

Thanks, man. That was a really well written and researched article. It's cool the guy was inspired to release the game as freeware. We could use more articles like this here!

Most 16-bit Windows software runs well with WINE. I'm guessing that anyone that would like to play this with Linux and/or Mac could if they wished using WINE.

any similarities to conquest of the world on Odyssey 2?
