Box cover.

Convoy is a compilation of four industry-themed video games published by Keypunch Software for MS-DOS on 1987-07-15. The games included in the package were sourced from much earlier games, so they're very dated.

Games

This compilation contains four games. Because Keypunch was essentially a pirate organization, they sourced the games from free sources like magazines and BBSes and stripped the names of the developers. Any unnecessary documentation or credits were removed. Prior to shipping, the games were re-titled, both to prevent the developers from finding out their programs were stolen, and also to make the buyers think they were buying something more impressive than what the box contained.

Title Notes
Air Trax A text-based air traffic control simulator from 1983.
Big Rig A text-based truck driver simulator.
Bridge Contractors A DOS port of the 1981 BASIC game International Bridge Contractors.
Fire Out A text-based fire-fighter simulator.

Status

I do not own this game, but I have beaten Big Rig and International Bridge Contractors.

Download

Since Keypunch probably never secured the rights to these game in the first place, and has long since gone out of business, I'm making the software available here.
