Some of the levels are slow in parts, but the full-screen VGA animation is incredibly smooth. I'm not sure how they did it but it's considerably better than most other platform scrollers, and it's 256-colour as well.
Is Vinyl Goddess From Mars the latest commercial game that runs on a 286?
When I was young I had a 286 and I love side scrolling platform games.
On that computer I've played the following platform games:
Alien Carnage (not the Halloween Harry version)
Arctic Adventure
Avoid the Noid
Barbarian
Bio Menace
The Blues Brothers
Bubble Bobble
Captain Comic
Commander Keen 1-6 and Keen Dreams
Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure
Crystal Caves
Dangerous Dave
Dark Ages
Duke Nukem 1 (not the Duke Nukum version 😀)
Electrobody
Fantasy World Dizzy
Fury of the Furies
Gods
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The Jetsons
Jill of the Jungle
Monster Bash
Ninja Rabbits
Prehistorik 1 (Prehistorik 2 didn't work because it didn't like my VGA card)
Prince of Persia 1 and 2
Rick Dangerous 1 and 2
Risky Woods
Secret Agent
The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants
Skunny: Save our Pizzas
Spider-Man
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Thexder
Trolls
Xargon
Zool
But I didn't know about Duke Nukem 2 and Vinyl Goddess From Mars.
