SkiFree was originally written for VAX/VMS on VT100 terminals. Scroll down that page to see a small animated GIF showing where abominable snow monsters come from.

Thanks for posting this :) it's interesting - Pirih has put he original game up for download as well as far more media one would expect. Great site. I hope he notices my port, it soils be amazing to get his feedback :)

Wow this really brings me back, what was the name of the game with the bow and arrows? that was another favorite of mine "back in the day" Thanks for making this!

It was absolutely my pleasure :)

Was that bow and game one of those games where you defends against each other from either side of a valley?

I think I remember what you're talking about (pretty sure it was just called Bow and Arrow) and I think this is it: http://www.download-central.ws/Win16/Games/B/Bow-and-Arrow/
