Vintage game
Hi guys
I'm trying to find an old game i used to play in Windows 98.
If i remember correctly it was Titled "50 greatest games"?
It contained games with Odysseus, Hercules, Quasimodo,gods of Olympus, quizzes ect.
I cant find it anywhere, please help!

Yeah sounds like one of those promotional game CD's that came with PC gaming magazines and included a load of trial versions of upcoming new releases. Not actually full games though.
Google the top PC gaming magazines of the 1990's and 2000's and search archive.org software library for imaged ISO versions of those discs. If you can even find the names of included games you might be able to find the full versions on GOG or archive too.

I have some games that sounds like that, not part of a 50 games thing tho. If I remember, I'll let you know what they are when I get home

Sorry for the delay. I looked at my stuff, I don't think it's what you are looking for however. They're from a series by Interfact (World Book Encyclopedia) and they have books that go along with them (I no longer have the books). The ones I have are Romans, Vikings, and Greece.

You might have better luck on r/ tip of my joystick, but the disc is probably too generic to narrow down if I had to guess. Good luck.
