Mini-games?

[BadHatGamer]

Hey everyone.

Back in the old days I had a bunch of amiga mini-games that ran within Workbench 1.3 (just as Chess Titans runs in the GUI of windows nowadays).

Can anyone point me to a good place to get such mini-games? Most of the stuff I can find is games that take over the system or WHDLoad stuff.

Cheers.

Most games that run on Workbench is mostly card and board games. The only good one I know is WBsteroids by RelaySoft.

Check dir:game/wb on Aminet for more Workbench games.

Yeah I figured that. There were some text based games too. There were also a few other types of games.
Examples I can think of are MiniBlast, or an obscure tile game that I can't remember much about other than its title - 'The Brain'.
Dunno if anyone remembers The Brain, but it would say "come on!" repeatedly when the player would take too long in taking their turn. Annoying as heck hehe.

Unfortunately this seems to be for WB 3.0 or greater. I'm referring to games that run in 1.3. I remember having a bunch of games that ran from my A590 HD with WB1.3 in this manner.

Nice, but as I said I'm looking for stuff for WB 1.3, not 3.X.

nope
it seems you have been dreaming or you are confused
the few amiga games that run on the workbench screen are for WB 2.x +

for WB1.x : there is none of that ,
perhaps exists 1 or 2 games of those but not a bunch, yet surely very buggy that nobody remember them

Is there an archive (.adf?) collection of these somewhere? Thanks.

Some of the games shown also work on OS 1.3, many more work on OS 2.x
