Love some of these old games. How I miss all of them on the IBM 286.
As a fan of classic video games, I have to say that Cinemaware Anthology: 1986-1991 is one of the best collections of games ever made. This anthology is a treasure trove of some of the most innovative and iconic games from the golden age of gaming. Cinemaware was known for its cinematic approach to game design, which combined realistic graphics, atmospheric soundtracks and engaging gameplay to create a truly immersive experience. And this anthology brings together some of their best work. Every game in the anthology is a gem, but some stand out to me more than others. Defender of the Crown is a classic medieval strategy game that puts you in the shoes of a noble fighting to reclaim his rightful lands. The game is beautifully designed, with stunning graphics that really bring the medieval world to life. Another standout game in the collection is It Came From The Desert, an action-adventure game that's reminiscent of the classic B-movies of the 1950s. The game features a compelling storyline, great characters, and tons of action and adventure. One of the things I love most about this anthology is how well each game holds up today. Despite being decades old, these games are just as fun and engaging as they were when they were first released. Overall, if you're a fan of classic games, then the Cinemaware Anthology: 1986-1991 is a must-have collection. With its incredible lineup of games and timeless design, it's a true masterpiece of gaming history.

Cinemaware was my absolute favorite game developer in my Commodore 64 days. The games they produced seemed more like being inside of a story or adventure rather than just playing a game. The graphics and storylines and of course gameplay were like nothing I had experienced anywhere. The anthology is fantastic! I only wish, really wish that it included the three stooges game. That was one of my top three favorite games. But SDI, it came from the desert, wings, and the others, besides the sports games, which I’m not familiar with, were instant classics when they were released. There have been remasters of a couple of these games. But there are games that you don’t mind playing even though they are a product of the 1980s or 1990s. Just too immersive and way ahead of their time! Nostalgia galore!
Cinemaware games were gems of my childhood. Playing them again today on a PC is a blessing. I missed those games a lot and most of them still hold up. Especially It Came from the Desert 1 and 2, Wings and TV Sports Basketball are STILL legendary games. A must for nostalgia nerds
This is a great collection of nostalgic games, BUT... The controls don't really work and the Amiga games crash regularly. If you want to play Amiga games go to retroarch. This is a waste of money.
many games for the price. i've only tested the 2 i was most attached to on the amiga. Defender of the Crown and Lords of the Rising Sun. now, DoC seems so much harder than i remember.. maybe it didn't port over well but i seem to lose very fast whereas on the amiga i could win all territories. as for LotRS it's buggy (defending castle from raid, the gfx stuff up completely, had to reset) also the game lost my savegame, just stopped being able to continue the game after 4.5 hours) now the only 2 games i tried have disappointed me greatly. i am hesitant to want to play others just in case i lose my progress etc.
Awesome pack, the games within are optimised perfectly, something i could never manage to do without a complex understanding of dosbox. Absolutely worth the price. They just dont make games like this anymore
Klar, geil!
Classic games.
Thanks for doing this guys. You brought back all the greats from the amiga days, especially the Wings game. I for one sincerely appreciate the work you put into getting this operational.
