As I poster earlier in another topic I downloaded Portal from Steam. Although I
don't quite understand everything about the game I have made it to level 12 on
dumb luck. I would classify Portal as a strategy/logic game. No inventory and no
clues as far as I can tell.

Portal reminded be of an old DOS game I used to play that was also a
strategy/logic game, Bolo Adventures by Soleau Software ( http://www.soleau.com/
). The game needs to run in DOSBox and works quite well. A few changes to the
DOSBox configuration file is all that I made but they are not required to run
the game. The game has multiple levels but any level can be played at any time.
You don't have to complete level 1 in order to play level 2. There is a startup
period in learning what will work and what won't and how things move, etc.

I downloaded all three Bolo Adventure games from ( http://www.myabandonware.com/
). They seem to have a whole lot of these old DOS games and they are free. I
realize old DOS games aren't for everyone but sometimes they fit the bill, at
least for me. One game I couldn't find there was Pipes. They have a Pipes game
but it isn't the one I remember. They do have the 1983 Pac-Man game though.

For some reason I believe Soleau charges for the games. That seems strange since
I can get them elsewhere. Soleau does have DOS looking games that will run on
Windows 98, XP, Vista, Win 7. I assume Windows 8 too.

DOSBox can be found at ( http://www.dosbox.com/ ). Just click on Downloads and
select your OS. I'm not sure if it works on Windows 64 bit though.

I just thought I'd throw this out there in case some of you old timers were
looking for a nostalgic trip.

Take care
