The Record

Background

The sci-fi flight-simulator game for DOS, Corncob 3D, is one of countless games I have fond memories of — but I noticed it’s nearly impossible to obtain it (and its sequel) legitimately. I wanted to fix that.

I tracked down the developer, Kevin Stokes, and received permission from him and George Welch to release both games as freeware. Thanks a bunch, Kevin and George!

These games can be played on modern systems by using DOSBox.
