It took a while, but I found an FTP that has all the (legally downloadable) discontinued Apogee Games, and every other game.

Theyre on the master download page of www.3drealms.com (http://www.3drealms.com) as well.

I took a look - that looks like a partial mirror of our old FTP archive at wuarchive.wustl.edu - there's more in there (I never ever made .zoo archives).

The only file that I object to in there is Jumpman, because we disavow ourselves of that game, and prefer it not be in any Apogee archive. As we don't have anything to do with it, we don't care what you do, just don't put it in with Apogee archives, that's all.

One thing the ftp I put has that the other one doesn't is Dark Ages (this is the game I was looking for a finally found).

You'd have to look in the Apogee FAQ to find out for sure, but I'm fairly certain that Apogee published a PC port of the original Jumpman around 1992 (Epyx went out of business around 1989)

It was later discontinued (probably due to potential copyright issues), and more recently, 3DRealms completely disassociated themselves from it.

We discontinued and disavowed ourselves of the game LONG before the concept of 3D Realms was even thought of.
