Quote: It was an early Epic Megagames game, and I'm also looking for a number of their games, if anyone has some leads.Unfortunately, Epic has never re-released any of its old games on any digital distribution networks. It's really, REALLY annoying, but they simply don't care about any of their past library. Tragic stuff. :(
The only place you will find Epic's classic games now is on ebay or Amazon (used) sales. They are not sold anywhere, and only a few have been released as freeware either. Traffic Department 2192 is freeware, but not much else... though yes, OMF2097 was indeed made freeware too. Epic doesn't have it on their site of course, but the sites that let you download it as freeware are correct in calling it freeware.
As for the other stuff you mention, I love Apogee of course, and I found Boppin' some years ago because that was by a person who also did an Apogee game. I also really liked Hexxagon; great game! I've never played the registered version, but the shareware is pretty much the same, so I didn't really care... I don't know if I've heard of Operation Inner Space before, though. Doesn't sound familiar...
Did you ever play the DOS game Jetpack? It's a fun Lode Runner-esque game, and was made freeware years back. I don't know if you heard, but the guy who made the original game Kickstarted a sequel last year (low dollar value), and was successful. So, Jetpack 2, like the original but higher resolution and with new puzzles (and a website to make level trading easier) is under development, and should hopefully be finished in the coming months. I really liked the original, so I'm looking forward to it. :)
