<p>The Confederation have been at war with the Kilrathi for the past 20 years, and you're just now joining the Vega campaign. You're a 2nd Lieutenant just out of the Academy, with some good work under your belt. You're posted to Tiger's Claw, the flagship of the Confederation Fleet. Will you help the Confederation to victory, or go down in infamy? </p>
<p><em>Wing Commander</em> is a space combat simulator interspersed with shipboard dialogs. Onboard the ship, you can save/load game, visit the bar to get the latest gossip, or go on to the next mission briefing, and the 3D space combat part. </p>
<p>The 3D space combat has you sitting in the cockpit, where you control the craft like roll, turn, up/down, afterburner, as well as fire guns and launch missiles. There are four different crafts on the Confed side, each with different flight characteristics and armament. You will have a wingman on each mission, and you should keep the wingman alive as the wingman will help you if you issue the right orders. You can also taunt the enemy. You'll be fighting several different types of enemy fighters and capital ships, and even combat a few Kilrathi aces. </p>
<p>When the mission is complete, land back onboard the ship and get ready for the next one. The campaign tree has both winning and losing paths.</p>

<p>The famous Indianapolis 500 Mile race, held annually at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on the Memorial Day weekend, is one of the most famous automobile racing events in North America. The event is simulated here using 3D polygon graphics to recreate the  33 cars in the race.  Players are able to choose their car and customize it with a variety of options. Modifications include wing down-force, tire pressures, wheel stagger (making the right-side wheels larger, to compensate for the banked corners) and turbo output (which provides boost, but stresses the engine and uses more fuel).</p>
<p>After qualifying (by performing during four laps and taking the average) players can race over 10, 30, 60 or the full 200 laps. Lower modes remove car damage and the 'full-course yellow' system, the absence of these can make for repeat carnage including traffic collisions and huge pile-ups.</p>

<p><em>V for Victory: Utah Beach</em> thrusts the player into the role of a military strategist during the Normandy invasion of WWII. As the American commander, the player has to overcome strong German resistance to occupy the Cotentin peninsula and the vital port facilities at Cherborg. Or, as the German Commander, the player has to defend Cherborg and drive the Americans back into the sea.</p>

<p>V for
        Victory: Market Garden takes the series to southern
        Holland. As the British commander, you must take and hold
        bridges across three major rivers, secure a foothold
        across the Rhine, and open a corridor for the invasion of
        Germany. As the German commander, you must delay the
        British advance, destroy the airborne divisions, and
        prevent the British army from reaching German territory.</p>

<p>V for Victory: Gold-Juno-Sword takes the series back to the Normandy beaches. As the Commonwealth commander, you must take and hold a beachhead large enough to secure a foothold in Europe, and open a second front against Germany. As the German commander, you must destroy the Commonwealth divisions, and force them to withdraw from the continent.</p>

<p>This iteration of the <em>Chessmaster series</em> offers a strong chess opponent at 12 skill levels, catering for novices to grandmasters. Its many features include an opening library built around 71,000 moves and the ability to print out the move history. </p>
<p>To help novices there is a teach mode showing all legal moves, a hint move offering what the computer feels is a strong move, and the chance for the Chessmaster to analyse all previous moves in a game. Famous real-life game positions and pre-set challenges offer individual challenges.</p>

<p>An update/modification to <a href="/search/?q=++The+Chessmaster+2000">Chessmaster 2000</a>, adding 640x200 graphics for nicer displays, many tutorial and "expert" options, and a plethora of other features too numerous to mention here.</p>

<p><em>Chessmaster 3000</em> provides a strong chess opponent with 168 openings and different types of playfields (2D, 3D, and War Room). The game can suggest moves and determine the player's rating. It also contains 151 replications of classic real-world matches, and a Mentor feature which can act as a personal chess tutor through a variety of practical techniques.</p>

<p><em>OutRun</em> is a racing game that allows the player to race across varied terrain in a readily available Ferrari, complete with a female passenger, over a series of short tracks.</p>
<p>Gameplay is viewed from just above and behind the car. The roads are full of sharp bends and hazards, contact with which can cause the car to roll and lose the player's time. On each section of track there is a fork in the road, allowing the player to choose which direction he or she wishes to go in. The player has to to complete five track sections in total, out of the fifteen in the game.</p>

<p>A chess opponent, tutor and private chess mentor featuring detailed graphics and animation in various 3D and 2D chess boards, a wealth of customizable game features and a large book of opening moves. You can challenge a computer which knows the moves of such famous games as <em>Karpov-Kasparov</em> (1990) or go through Annotated games in which the "Dean of American Chess" <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/25975/george-koltanowski/">George Koltanowski</a> explains the thinking process behind the all-time great moves. Also features Illustrative games which let you guess, then tell you what happened in classic matches. Has a beginner's mode in which it shows you all the legal moves including varying degrees of difficulty all the way up to the most difficult - Tournament Mode.</p>
<p>You can play against the computer, against a friend, or just watch the computer play against itself, even watch famous games being played out. You can also print out a list of your moves in your current game and a map of the board's piece locations.</p>

<p>A variation on <a href="/search/?q=QIX">QIX</a>: claim the playfield by building walls and closing off smaller regions. The chief obstacle is the colorful Styx, which (fittingly) resembles a bundle of sticks, and prowls about the screen in unpredictable swirls of motion. Unlike <em>QIX</em>, you can draw both straight and diagonal walls; another difference is the scoring, which depends on a cycling multiplier: time your conquests right, and you may even increase your bonus tenfold. </p>
<p>The Styx cannot harm you as you travel along the border of your captured areas, but if it touches a wall as you build it, the wall goes down - along with you. Other ways to get yourself killed are standing still for too long (while building), and meeting the worm that crawls along the edges of your domain. Capturing at least 80% of the playfield will end the level - bonuses are awarded for more; higher levels feature faster action, more worms, multiple Styx (Stygii?), and generally nastier enemy behavior.</p>

<p><em>The Ancient Art of War</em> is a real-time strategy game based on the very basic elements of war: unit types, formation, and strength. The game is set in ancient battle-style times before the use of gun powder, consisting of the three basic unit types of that period: the light armored but fast 'barbarians', the heavily armored but slow 'knights', and the ranged 'archers'. A fourth non-combatant unit type is also available: 'spies', which is only available under certain campaign rule settings. </p>
<p>The game consists of different scenarios to choose from, each with a different geographical setting, difficulty setting, visibility setting, and victory condition setting. Some settings may be subject to change by the player.</p>
<p>Gameplay is represented in two major areas:
* The first is the tactical/political map, which visualizes geographical and terrain elements from a top-down perspective. Here the player can coordinate, position, reinforce troops, and also command them to attack, defend or ambush enemy troops in a real-time setting. Time may be set to pause, faster or slower to make battle plans easier.</p>
<ul>
<li>The second is the combat screen where one group of soldiers fight another group of the enemy. A squad consisting a maximum of 14 soldiers will fight according to their set battle formation and will act only on the player's real-time battle commands (e.g. attack, forward, retreat, etc.).</li>
</ul>
<p>The difficulty levels are represented by eight opponents, which include the Greek goddess of war Athena, a stereotypical Russian-Soviet commander named Crazy Ivan, as well as the historical characters Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Geronimo, and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/18956/sun-tzu/">Sun Tzu</a> as the hardest opponent. Each opponent has a different fighting style of combat and strategy.</p>
<p>The game also comes with a construction set which allows the player to create own campaigns: From the story, rules to the map editor. In this game editor, the player can also tweak troops to the player's liking, such as default troop formations.</p>

<p>The Earth has been invaded by the Orb Alliance, and a tightly restricted regime instituted for the humans that remain. Brown monk robes are the only garments allowed, speaking is a capital offense, and every human has been implanted with a tracking chip recording their every move. To track down criminals, the Orbs enlist "Manhunters" - humans given access to advanced technology and selected to be a combination of police officers and bounty hunters. The player controls one such Manhunter as he unravels a conspiracy inside the decaying heart of the New York ruins, and a mysterious serial killer on the loose.</p>
<p>Each chapter begins with the Orbs assigning the player's nameless Manhunter with a crime (such as murder) or target to investigate. The player gains leads through the use of the "MAD" computer, which displays the logs of all civilian movement in an area in an overhead map view. By starting with the victim and following the people who encountered him that day, the player can then go to a first-person investigation view at various New York landmarks to find clues to the suspect's identity. At the end of the day, the player must report the correct name of their suspect to the Orbs.</p>
<p><em>Manhunter</em> uses a modified version of Sierra's AGI interpreter, with a rudimentary point-and-click interface used to locate and uncover clues at the investigation sites. At various times throughout the investigation, the player will also have to directly control the Manhunter in arcade-style challenges, like dodging gang attacks or throwing knives between a bar patron's fingers.</p>

<p>Picking up immediately where <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/24/manhunter-new-york/">Manhunter: New York</a> left off, <em>Manhunter 2: San Francisco</em> has the player crash-landing their stolen ship in the City by the Bay after trying unsuccessfully to keep up with enigmatic serial killer Phil. Left with no alternatives, the player assumes the identity of a local Manhunter and solves more crimes for the alien Orbs while searching for Phil and working for the local human resistance.</p>
<p><em>Manhunter 2</em> presents the same urban decay and oppressive alien invader regime as visualized in the original, this time using streets and landmarks from the Bay Area. The Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, Alcatraz prison, and the TransAmerica Pyramid all receive alien makeovers. New puzzles, new characters, and new investigations await as the player tracks Phil by his string of strangled corpses.</p>
<p>All concepts and gameplay elements from <em>Manhunter: New York</em> return. The player again uses the MAD tracking device to follow suspects provided by the alien Orbs and uses clues found through first-person location investigation to discover the suspects' name. Occasional arcade sequences bring mixed challenges, and though they cannot be skipped, a new difficulty option has been implemented. The same point-and-click gameplay (no typing required) is used to navigate the game world.</p>

<p>With Al Capone out of the picture, Chicago's prohibition-era profit is up for grabs. Are you merciless and cunning enough to gain it by whatever means are required? Every action you take has complex long-term consequences which are not always obvious at the time.</p>
<p>You must keep your people on your side, watching what you say and do, knowing that an overthrow could be hatched at any moment. Look after your woman as well - who's going to respect a single mobster? The money has to be juggled in these ways, not forgetting to reach an 'understanding' with the Mayor to avoid any negative attentions.</p>

<p>Stars of television and cinema, and now stars of their own video game. Join Moe, Larry &amp; Curly (in no particular order) who must collect $5000 to try and save an orphanage and the young children who live there from the evil banker, all while keeping pie out of their face. Featuring platform level designs based on classic Stooge scenes from their many TV episodes and movies and level objectives re-living many of their antics plus original Stooge voices and Stooge trivia.</p>

<p><em>Knights of the Sky</em> is a World War I flight combat sim where you pilot one of 20 different aircraft (each handles differently) as you engage in simple missions or join a full campaign where you will progress through World War I, going on a variety of missions, patrols, and even encounter enemy aces. You can engage balloons and blimps, enemy fighters and bombers, even strafe group targets such as supply trains. If you do really good in the game, one of the enemy aces may drop a note to challenge you to an aerial duel. </p>
<p>A unique feature of the game is the capability of modem link so you can challenge fellow modem owners to dogfights, something that none of its contemporaries had.</p>

<p>You have 12 hours to solve the murder of Mr. Marshall Robner. If it was a murder...

<p><strong>Difficulty Level:</strong> Expert</p>

<p>The year is 1936, and suddenly the protagonist is abducted by the Leather Goddesses for the final testing in the plan which will enslave every man and woman on earth. These Leather Goddesses of Phobos are just finishing up their plans for the invasion of Earth. If the hero fails to escape and save humanity, the Leather Goddesses will turn the Earth into their pleasure dome.</p>
<p><em>Leather Goddesses of Phobos</em> is a text adventure with humorous overtones. The player uses standard commands in the text parser to observe his environment and pick up items. The game's 'naughtiness' level can be adjusted between Tame (G), Suggestive (PG), and Lewd (R).</p>

<p><em>Wing Commander Academy</em> puts players into the role of a fresh young recruit at the Confederation Academy, where new pilots must test their skills in the simulator. Unlike other <em>Wing Commander</em> games, this game features no storyline or campaign. Instead players may play through simple dogfight missions or build waypoints on an interface similar to the radar view. Using this mission builder, the player may place objects that include friendly fighters, enemy fighters, enemy capital ships, space stations, and ejected pilots.</p>
<p>Controls and graphics are almost directly copied from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Wing+Commander+II">Wing Commander II</a>. Similar to that game, the player engages in a first person space battle against Kilrathi forces in 360 space. Players are able to choose different ships, weapon types and wingmen.</p>

<p>As the name suggests, <em>The Cycles</em> simulates <em>International Grand Prix Racing</em>, allowing a player to compete against 9 computer rivals. Choose from three classes of bike (125, 250 and 500cc), and between 8 (Japan, Australia, USA, Spain, Italy, France,England and Sweden) and 15 (Japan, Australia, USA, Spain, Italy, Western Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia, Holland, Belgium, France, England, Sweden, Czechoslovakia and Brazil) original tracks depending on the version, at five difficulty levels (with the lower ones offering automatic gear changes). </p>
<p>The player can enter single races (always including qualifying) or complete in a full season. The action is viewed from the handlebars of your bike, a novelty for motorcycle racing at the time. The game engine is similar to that used by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1446/grand-prix-circuit/">Grand Prix Circuit</a>, but now incorporates hills.</p>

<p>You have been turned into a ball of air with a slow leak by an evil wizard. You must find the Spellbook and the ingredients for the spell. Without these, you will never turn back into a human again.</p>
<p>These items have to be collected in the maze which consists of 150 isometric rooms. These can be explored freely but sometimes you need to have special objects to proceed, e.g. a candle in dark rooms. The dangers consist mostly of sharp objects which can cause your ball to burst. Additionally, you are on a timer because your balloon loses air constantly. But it can be refilled by using pumps which can be found in the maze - but you have to leave them in time or you explode because of overpressure.</p>

<p>In the 1940s, the Nazis built a base on the moon and plan to use a mysterious substance called Lunarium to reduce people's intelligence. However, in the 21st Century time travel has been mastered, as have jet-propulsion backpacks, plus some cataclysmic weaponry and advanced code-breaking equipment. These items are sent back in time to you in order to change the result of the war by using this technology to find their five rocket factories and destroy the moon base.</p>
<p>The game fits the Cinemaware template closely, with a string of action sequences linked by cinematic animation sequences to set the scene. There's also a strategic element, as you move your spies around to gain information and avoid detection, and decide how much Lunarium to use at each stage of the game. Action sequences include hand-to-hand combat with a Nazi guard, and flying through the air shooting either hordes of enemy planes or the Zeppelin itself.</p>
<p>An "Extended Collector's Edition" of the game was released in 2018. It is a limited edition of 500 and contains the game in multiple languages and for multiple platforms, and contains as bonuses posters, stickers, postcards, and the soundtrack on vinyl.</p>

<p>The company behind <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Way+of+the+Exploding+Fist">Way of the Exploding Fist</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/27121/fighting-warrior/">Fighting Warrior</a> also tried its hand at wrestling, with this game claiming to be the first 3D combat sports game, in which you can avoid the opponent by moving up or down the screen as well as left or right.</p>
<p>Like any fighting game worth its salt, the game can be played with one or two players. In one-player mode there are 10 opponents to take on in sequence.</p>
<p>The moves on offer include almost everything you'd find in real wrestling (and I don't mean WWE) - piledrivers, arm twists, body slams and turnbuckle flies, all of which are fully animated. The whole experience includes detailed multi-colour graphics and a full rock soundtrack.</p>

<p><em>Skate or Die</em> incorporates five distinct styles of skating, which can be attempted individually or in turn. You skate around a menu room to choose which one to attempt. Before taking off you can visit Rodney's skate shop to buy equipment.</p>
<p>The first event is freestyle, in which your aim is to score as many points as possible in 10 attempts. Judges determine how much style and skill you have shown. The High Jump uses the same equipment, only this time your task is to jump as high as possible at the end of the ramp.</p>
<p>The downhill events are overhead-view races. In the Downhill Race you simply try to complete the course within 90 seconds. In the Downhill Jam you try to outperform a human or computer opponent whilst dodging or jumping hazards. You can use attacking moves to either remove hazards or knock your opponent over. </p>
<p>The pool joust is more of a one-on-one beat em up using a stick, set within a pit to skate around.</p>

<p>A platform shooter from Japan, <em>Thexder</em> offers many levels and diverse enemies that gradually increase in difficulty. You pilot a Battletech-style robot capable of switching from a mech into a jet at any time. Your weapon auto-aims, but uses up a fixed amount of rechargeable energy; if you run out of this energy, you'll have to wait a few seconds before you can fire again. Your mech also contains a shield that can be activated to protect you from harm, but this lasts for a few seconds and uses up some of your life energy.</p>

<p><em>Zork: The Great Underground Empire</em> is a classic text adventure game. The player begins as an "adventurer" standing near a white house in a nice forest, but soon descends into the Great Underground Empire, where most of the game takes place. The player's quest is to collect the Nineteen Treasures of Zork. </p>
<p>As was typical for adventure games of its era, Zork does not use graphics. Instead, it communicates with the player via text, and the player interacts with the game by typing commands, such as "examine mailbox" or "take torch". For movement, the player types in geographical directions (such as "north" or "east" - or just "n" and "e"), and can check what items are being carried with the "inventory" command (or just "i"). </p>
<p>The game was adapted from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Mainframe+Zork">a larger mainframe version</a> from the late 1970s, and is one of the first examples of its genre.</p>

<p>It all started with your great-great-grandfather who was a High Admiral and one of the founding officers of the Patrol. All generations since then have served in the Patrol. Now it's your turn and two years into you are still a lowly Ensign Seventh Class. Your direct report, Blather, is really making your life miserable. Are you really Stellar Patrol material?</p>

<p><em>Zork II: The Wizard of Frobozz</em> is a text adventure, a sequel to the classic first <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/50/zork-the-great-underground-empire/">Zork</a>. Once again, the game is set in the Great Underground Empire, but this time the main goal is to face off against the titular Wizard. </p>
<p>Like its predecessor, <em>Zork II</em> plays like any other text adventure: there are no graphics - only text - and the player types commands such as "lift cage" or "examine robot".</p>

<p>In the third game of the adventure game series <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Zork"> Zork</a>, you are once again a nameless adventurer, only this time you won't travel through a beautiful magical land, but are immediately cast into a deep dungeon. Like in a dream, you hear a mysterious voice telling you that you have passed all the tests but one. When consciousness returns to you, you find yourself on the endless spiral of stairs, with only your trusty lantern near you... will you be able to survive the horrors of the Dungeon?</p>
<p>Like its predecessors, <em>Zork III: The Dungeon Master</em> is a text adventure game. You read descriptions of rooms and then interact with the game by typing commands. As all early <em>Zork</em> games, it is very easy to get stuck in the game, so you'll have to reload several times in order to find the correct way.</p>

<p>Aimlessly wandering through the Southlands of Quendor, the hero of the game encounters the Implementors, powerful beings who warn him of a terrible danger: the Coconut of Quendor, the very embodiment of Magic, has been stolen by terrifying monsters known as Ur-Grue, said to be the spirits of fallen Implementors. The task is clear, but by no means easy: locate the Ur-Grue and return the Coconut of Quendor to its rightful owners!</p>
<p><em>Beyond Zork: The Coconut of Quendor</em> introduces a somewhat different gameplay system compared to the previous text adventures of the <em>Zork</em> series. Text-based interaction and puzzle-solving are still present; however, role-playing elements have been added to the mix. The player character has six attributes assigned to him: endurance, strength, dexterity, intelligence, compassion, and luck. These can be determined by the player at the beginning of the game, randomly chosen by the game, or provided as part of a pre-generated character. The attributes affect the outcome of combat, which occurs in certain locations. They can also be raised or lowered during the game by gaining experience, drinking and eating certain items, wearing accessories, or in another fashion (sometimes humorous - for example, intelligence will be lowered by typing in swear words). Many locations and objects in the game are randomly generated.</p>

<p>Lord Dimwit Flathead the Excessive was so much in love with himself that he ordered to erect a huge statue of himself in the Fublio Valley. This angered a local resident named Megaboz the Magnificent, who cast a curse over Dimwit and the entire Empire, and disappeared. Ninety-four years later, the curse is still in effect, and the king Wurb Flathead is looking for a brave adventurer who would find a way to remove it. This adventurer, naturally, is the game's protagonist, who possesses a piece of parchment given to him by his ancestors, which might be the key to the whole mystery...</p>
<p><em>Zork Zero: The Revenge of Megaboz</em> is chronologically a prequel to the first three <em>Zork</em> games, and is a text adventure with a graphical interface and scene-based colors and borders. Like its predecessors, the game relies on puzzle-solving, including inventory item manipulation as well as logic-based puzzles. An interactive map, in-game hint system, and the included Encyclopedia Frobozzica are there to make the player's task somewhat easier. The game also includes four graphical mini-games based on popular logic puzzles.</p>

<p>You are a dim ignorant Apprentice Enchanter, but your task is enormous. You must save the world from the warlock Krill who is ruling the land with his evil powers. You are not the first in this quest but hopefully you will be the first to succeed, as the more experienced members of the Circle of Enchanters are powerless. You know the basics of magic and will have the chance to learn many spells. Keep your wits and use everything you can to your benefit!</p>
<p><em>Enchanter</em> is a text adventure set in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=zork">Zork universe</a>, following the original <em>Zork</em> trilogy. As in the previous games, the player interacts with the environment by typing in text commands, usually combinations of verbs and objects. A new feature in the game is the player character's ability to cast spells. These spells must be memorized before the protagonist is able to cast them, and are learned during the course of the game. The text parser understands the names of the spells as verbs, and the player only needs to type in the spell name and the name of an object he/she wishes to cast that particular spell on.</p>

<p>Following the defeat of the evil Krill in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56/enchanter/">Enchanter</a>, the intrepid apprentice has become a full member of the Circle, under the command of the famed Necromancer Belboz. Very soon, however, the hero notices that something strange has been happening to the master. He frequently talks to himself and seems to be under some sort of a malevolent influence - until one day, he is mysteriously kidnapped. Looks like the brave Enchanter must venture on a perilous journey once again, and bring back the leader of the Circle.</p>
<p><em>Sorcerer</em> is a sequel to <em>Enchanter</em>, and is part of the <a href="/search/?q=Zork">Zork universe</a>. Like its predecessors, it is a text adventure, in which the player interacts with the game world by typing combinations of verbs and objects. The spell system from the previous game is back; a new feature is the protagonist's ability to drink magical potions, which must be done sometimes in order to solve the game's puzzles.</p>

<p>The head of the Circle of Enchanters is a brave hero, the same one who has defeated the evil Krill and solved the mystery of the Necromancer Belboz. However, now an even greater threat has appeared: the very foundations of the art of Magic seem to be failing! The Guilds organize a great assembly to discuss the alarming waning of Magic; suddenly, a mysterious shadowy figure casts a spell that transforms everyone to toads and newts - everyone but the intrepid leader of the Circle, who must commit his most heroic deeds yet, solving the hardest mystery of all.</p>
<p>The concluding part of the <em>Enchanter</em> trilogy within the <a href="/search/?q=Zork">Zork universe</a>, <em>Spellbreaker</em> is a sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Sorcerer+-+INTERLOGIC+Fantasy">Sorcerer</a>. The game plays similarly to its predecessors, the player inputting text commands to interact with the game world and solve puzzles. The magic system is still present; however, spellcasting can fail now, due to the game's premise of the decline of magic. A new feature is the player's ability to name the objects the protagonist collects in the game. This ability becomes a necessity when the player is required to collect the identically-looking Cubes of Foundation, having to name them in order to differentiate between them.</p>

<p>The year is 2186. Humanity has established colonies on the moon, Mars, and several of the larger asteroids. Earth's sky is dotted with space habitats, and the spaceways are always busy. As usual, there is the urgent need for energy to power this advanced civilization; one of the primary sources of that energy is quantum black holes.</p>
<p>In <em>Starcross</em>, you are a miner of black holes, scouring the asteroid belt in your one-man survey ship. Finding and harnessing a single black hole can make a person's fortune. It's a lonely business, fraught with the known and unknown hazards of space. You've equipped your ship, the M.C.S. STARCROSS, with the best gear you could afford. You've put everything into this venture, and though you've tried before, you somehow sense that this time will be different.</p>
<p>The ship's computer handles the functions of navigation and routine maintenance. You watch the sophisticated mass detector as it unceasingly scans the vicinity for uncharted masses. To assuage the tedium of your long trip, you browse through the compact tape library, a compendium of human knowledge and culture. But the drone of the ship gradually lulls you into a deep sleep.</p>
<p>As you sleep, you dream of the riches which would be yours if your search for a quantum black hole is successful. Little do you suspect that the alarm on your mass detector is about to jolt you out of your dream - but not to grapple with the long-sought black hole. Your quest has taken an unexpected turn, for you are destined to rendezvous with a gargantuan alien spaceship from the outer fringes of the galaxy.</p>

<p>On a space settlement named Contra, a human being serves as a regulator for the planet's vital systems: he controls transportation, weather, and manages resources all while being in a deep sleep, through the neural power of his brain. Such a regulator is called Central Mentality. However, after five hundred years of stasis, the current Central Mentality suddenly awakens, greatly troubled by reports of computer malfunctioning and resulting problems in weather condition, food production, and transport. He must now act, and act quickly: the crew members assumed that he has gone insane, and are coming to disconnect his mind. But what can he do if his state of suspended animation prevents him from moving?</p>
<p><em>Suspended</em> is a text adventure game with a twist: instead of navigating the protagonist, the player indirectly controls six robots that do his bidding, exploring the environment and interacting with it. Each robot has different functions and has its own way of seeing reality and reacting to events around it. Iris is the only robot that can see and therefore visually describe locations and objects; Whiz can provide technical information obtained from computers; the sonar-powered Waldo is good at holding items; Auda is an expert in sounds; the cryptically speaking Poet senses the flow of electric currents; finally, Sensa can detect magnetic and photon emissions. The player advances in the game by using the different abilities of the robots and solving puzzles.</p>

<p><em>The Witness</em> is a text adventure in which the player takes control of a police detective working near Los Angeles. The year is 1938, and on this stormy February night a wealthy but frightened man has asked the detective for protection. In spite of his best efforts, a death occurs, and the hero has twelve hours to solve the mystery and try to arrest the killer. If the player thinks there is enough evidence against one or more suspects to convince a jury of their guilt, he can arrest them and conclude the case.</p>

<p>You've been marooned by your crew in the vast wasteland of the Egyptian Desert. The burning heat causes you to think you are a brave explorer of fortune, but you have already been branded an Infidel. You are more likely to starve to death than finding the gold and riches that are hidden in the pyramids. </p>
<p><strong>Difficulty Level:</strong> Advanced</p>

<p>You must save the Aquadome!  But is it in more danger from an inside traitor, or a vicious sea monster? As a famous inventor and scientist, you will use your inventions and skills to save the day.</p>

<p><em>Fire Hawk: Thexder - The Second Contact</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Thexder">Thexder</a>. </p>
<p>The Fire Hawk robot has the same main design as Thexder: a laser, shield and the ability to transform into a jet. It's also possible to use some special weapons which can be found during the missions, such as the Flasher, (damages anything on screen) and the Stopper (freezes enemies for a while).</p>
<p>Levels are divided into sub-levels, with each fourth one featuring a boss fight.</p>
<p>Some of the main improvements compared to the original game include the ability to save a game at certain points, the ability to switch between special weapons during gameplay, and a greatly expanded high-quality soundtrack.</p>

<p>With $100000 in the bank after taking out loans and selling stocks, it's time to start a railroad! Choose from 4 scenarios across two continents with randomly generated resources, and design your own railroad that moves people and goods across the country. Use the revenue to continue expanding, while keeping control of your company and appeasing your stock holders with growth and revenues. Play the stock market with company assets. Drive your competitors out of business with buyouts and rate wars. Multiple types of resources to carry (roughly grouped as slow freight, fast freight, passengers, mail) and convert, own facilities to maximize profit (buy a steel mill and the conversion from iron ore to steel makes money for YOU). Use the latest available technology to your advantage (new locomotives). Your objective is to retire with a huge bonus (based on your company's assets) and become the President or the Prime Minister (depending on which continent). </p>
<p>The game is essentially a bird's-eye-view real-time strategy game with aspects of building and stock market manipulation. Each fiscal period is 2-years, which corresponds to 1-day of track time. Build different sizes of stations to take care of different local needs, create trains that switch consists at different stations and maximize throughput. Upgrade/retire/modify trains as times change. The faster the trains arrive, the more money they earn. Multiple options will keep you busy as each game is different.</p>

<p>Updated version of the original classic computer pinball game.</p>

<p>Taking on the role of special agent Robert "Rip" Steel, it is up to you to destroy the evil Yellow Shadow's network of undersea mining bases. At the same time, you must protect your own bases from attack. You are in command of a small but powerful submarine, and must work quickly and strategically, if you are to succeed.</p>

<p>Jinborov Karnovski (also known as the titular Karnov), is a Russian circus strongman who is collecting all of the pieces of a treasure map so he can become a wealthy man. This Lost Treasure of Babylon is being guarded by the evil dragon Ryu. While the gameplay is basically the same as the other versions, the story for the Famicom version is different. It involves Karnov, who comes from a small town called Cleamina, being called by God to be his envoy. Karnov is tasked with getting rid of the evil troublemaker known as Alakatai.</p>
<p><em>Karnov</em> features nine stages of side-scrolling action. Karnov's main attack is to breathe fireballs at his enemies. Karnov can collect power-up orbs which can increase the amount of fire he can breathe out. Karnov is also able to jump, with the height being increased by collecting boots. Other items Karnov can carry and use include bombs, ladders, boomerangs, clappers (which destroy minor enemies that are currently on the screen instantaneously), and shields. Occasionally, Karnov will be able to make use of certain items such as wings which let him fly in the air and a scuba gear helmet which lets him swim underwater. Also, scattered throughout the stages are K icons. Collecting 50 of these will reward Karnov an extra life.</p>

<p>After having defeated the evil Grand Vizier Jaffar, the brave Prince claimed just one reward: the hand of the beautiful daughter of the Persian Sultan. However, as the Prince approached the palace, his appearance suddenly turned into that of a beggar. Someone who looked just like the Prince ordered to throw him out. It turns out that Jaffar is alive and back for vengeance. Banished from the palace, the unfortunate Prince must travel to faraway lands and find a way to defeat the villain.</p>
<p><em>Prince of Persia 2</em> is, like its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=%E3%83%97%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AA%E3%83%96%E3%83%9A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A3">predecessor</a>, a cinematic platformer. Much of the gameplay is reminiscent of the first game, focusing on precise jumping puzzles, swordfighting, and overcoming many hazards in order to stay alive. Swordfighting is more prominent and features situations where several enemies attack the Prince at once. Reinforcements may arrive after the Prince has eliminated all visible enemies. Like its predecessor, the game must be completed within a time limit.</p>

<p><em>Bumble Plot</em> is an educational game meant to help develop geometry skills for children between the ages of 8 to 12 years old. The game has a children-oriented visual design, but the actual gameplay consists entirely of real geometrical problems. Players' performance is evaluated with praise or encouragement.</p>

<p>In <em>Adventures in Math</em> the player takes the role of a treasure hunter who explores a castle. The goal of the game is to find the exit while earning as much points as possible. Points are rewarded for picking locks and finding treasures. To achieve these tasks the player has to solve mathematical riddles while using the four basic arithmetic operations. The answer has to be typed in by using the keyboard. If the player doesn't succeed the game shows the correct answer and he has to try again - but in a few cases the treasure gets stolen by a spider and is lost forever.</p>
<p>In the beginning of each round the player selects the size of the castle and the used combinations of mathematical operations, e.g. only addition or multiplication and division.</p>

<p>Answer basic math skill questions to erase the monsters and earn points.</p>

<p>Following the events of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/115/starflight/">the first Starflight</a>, the galaxy is at relative peace. The balance of power is disrupted when the Spemin, usually a minor nuisance, suddenly gain technological superiority and begin a campaign of expansionism. Through investigation, Interstel determines that the Spemin technology is not their own and that they have obtained it from somewhere on the other side of a flux (wormhole). Interstel commissions a force to visit this area, called the Cloud Nebula, and find a way to nullify the Spemin technology.</p>
<p><em>Starflight 2</em> is a space exploration game that contains much of the interface from its predecessor. This includes crew management, ship improvement, resource collection, planet landings, alien diplomacy and exploration of a new galaxy. Much of the gameplay takes place via a standard interface that allows access to ship stations. Landing on a planet however will shift to an overhead view and the player manually controls his rover while searching for objects of interest. </p>
<p>New to <em>Starflight 2</em> is trading, alien races will now buy and sell unique items at different prices, it is no longer necessary to return to the Interstel starport to sell resources. As mentioned, the galaxy itself and the alien races that inhabit it are also new. New technologies exist for the player such as Blasto Pods (torpedoes); a devastating weapon, and Jump Pods; which will transport anywhere on the starmap.</p>

<p>In <a href="/search/?q=Transylvania">Transylvania</a> we rescued Princess Sabrina, and met Crown Prince Erik. They return upon news of the King John the Good’s death, and learn the crown has vanished. The Vampire Lord Drakul tries to uncover its secrets to become King, and threatens its land. </p>
<p>As their guide, they accompany you on their journey to reclaim the crown an amulet of immense power and rid the land of the Vampire. Certain tasks require their unique abilities, Princess Sabrina understands magic and Crown Prince Erik can use items that rightfully belongs to the heir of the throne, among other roles.</p>
<p>Some places seem familiar, and others are new. Recognizable ancient tree stump and the new mysterious Wizard’s castle to underground caverns. </p>
<p>Encounter unusual characters and creatures that roam these parts - a friendly Griffin or the wicked Witch to curious Trolls, who like shiny objects. Whenever the Sage appears speak to him, and listen to his words of wisdom. Travelers are advised to know how to answer their riddles.</p>

<p>You live on a small seaport island called Hardscrabble -- hardly the hip place to be.  Working as a professional scuba diver, you have the chance to salvage a sunken treasure from one of four shipwrecks, earn the respect of all the old farts and become wealthy beyond all imagination.</p>

<p>You are Arthur Dent, an Englishman with a bad hangover wearing a dressing gown containing a much needed buffered analgesic and some fluff. Your house has just been destroyed, followed shortly thereafter by your planet Earth (mostly harmless). You’ve been rescued by your friend Ford Prefect, who’s not actually an out-of-work actor. He has given you a book (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), a towel, and is now telling you to put a fish in your ear. It must be a Thursday; you’ve never quite gotten the hang of Thursdays.</p>
<p><em>The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy</em> is written by Douglas Adams and Steven Meretzky and based on Adams’ BBC radio series, television series, and the series of subsequent novelizations. It’s one of the classic Interactive Fiction games produced by Infocom, labeled as Science Fiction and has a Standard Level of Difficulty. Though divergent from the source material, the main characters, locations, and concepts are here. Unlike the book, death can come quickly if Arthur fails to observe his surroundings, collect inventory, talk to people, and consult the Guide. DON’T PANIC!</p>

<p>You have been transferred into Dr. Dumont's P.A.R.T.I. (Particle Accelerator and Reality Translation Integrator). Have fun trying to get out.</p>
<p>This is a greatly expanded and updated version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Dr.+Dumonts+Wild+P.A.R.T.I.+Macintosh">the original game from 1988</a>.</p>

<p>One fine day P. J. Barrett, an ordinary human being from the planet Earth, goes to a repair shop to get his TV set fixed. When he comes back for it, he accidentally picks up the wrong one. No big deal? Quite on the contrary. When the unsuspecting Mr. Barrett returns home and turns the TV on, he is sucked into a portal! One moment later, he finds himself on the strange planet of Daltere. Naturally, this planet needs a savior: the evil alien Helmar has stolen an artifact known as the Jewel of Light, thus endangering the entire galaxy. Now our unlikely hero has to overcome various obstacles and save the world.</p>
<p><em>Altered Destiny</em> is a puzzle-solving adventure game. The interface is very similar to the one used in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/404/les-manley-series/">Les Manley</a> games by the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/23/accolade-inc/">same company</a>. The navigation can be done with the mouse (point-and-click), but the game still requires text input to issue commands to the hero and to interact with the world.</p>

<p>You are a suspected murderer and time is running out because the police are ready to throw the books at you. If you ever want to return to your normal life of being a reporter you better prove your innocence. However, the real murderer probably watching your every move -- so be careful.</p>

<p>The year is 2031 and the world is near the brink of economic collapse. To avoid this, the president comes up with a plan to stop the disaster - but before applying it, the long-term impacts on the world need to be validated. This is done with a simulation visited by the computer project PRISM, designed to be a true AI. The game starts when PRISM awakes from a simulation of his own, human life and is told that he is in fact the world's first sentient machine. At this point, the player takes control over PRISM.</p>
<p><em>A Mind Forever Voyaging</em> is a text-based interactive fiction game. The player reads descriptions which detail the surroundings and communicates with the game by typing in commands. Most of the time is spent in simulation mode where the player repeatedly visits the town of Rockvil and needs to record situations of everyday or special activities going on. If the player has recorded enough, the game progresses and the simulation ten years ahead can be visited. However, the recording device has no unlimited capacity - when full, the player needs to exit the simulation and let the recordings review by the project leader. Then the current simulation can be simply started again from the start to find new situations - the same applies when dying.</p>
<p>Between simulations and toward the end there are situations outside the simulation, but overall the game is light on puzzle-solving and more about experiencing how said plan changes Rockvil and its people over time. Outside the simulation there are three more modes to enter: communications (switching to various video/audio units to examine other locations and people), library (various documents and other information to read) and interlace (communicating and giving orders to the own subsystems).</p>

<p>In this game, the player controls a postal clerk in the small fishing village of Festeron. The postmaster, Mr. Crisp, orders the player to deliver an envelope to the owner of Ye Olde Magick Shoppe. However, this seemingly innocent task inexplicably leads to a strange phenomenon: as the hero steps out, he finds that Festeron has been mysteriously transformed into a dark, ominous town called Witchville. Even cute little poodles have turned into hellhounds! Finding the Wishbringer, a stone that grants seven wishes to those who possess the right objects, seems like the only solution - or is it?</p>
<p><em>Wishbringer</em> is a text adventure set in the <a href="/search/?q=zork">Zork universe</a>. The player types in commands to navigate the character, interact with the game world, and solve puzzles. The game has a rather open-ended structure, with many situations possessing several solutions; the player can opt for a "magical" approach to the tasks, using the titular stone, or attempt to solve the game in a more straightforward way.</p>

<p>In <em>Quarantine</em>, you play the part of a taxi driver, desperate to escape from the violent prison city of Kemo. Deliver passengers to their destinations, so you can earn money to upgrade your cab, and take on undercover missions in the hope that somehow you can find a way out. An impressive array of cab-mounted weaponry will help you to survive.</p>

<p>Alice was sitting at the river bank with her sister and got drowsy. Suddenly, she sees a white rabbit who was hurrying somewhere, muttering something to himself. Curious, Alice follows the rabbit into a hole that leads into a bizarre world populated by strange and exotic creatures. Alice has to use her wits in order to understand Wonderland's twisted laws of logic and figure out a way to return home.</p>
<p><em>Wonderland</em> is a text adventure with graphics, based on Lewis Carroll's classic novel <em>Alice in Wonderland</em>. The game follows the book's general story while adding many descriptions, locations, and puzzles of its own. The interaction with the environment is done mostly by typing; however, commands may also appear in pop-up menus and can be selected by the player. Sometimes puzzles need to be solved in order to be able to advance. The game features windows with adjustable size, separating the graphical display from inventory, command interface, text descriptions, and other options.</p>

<p>The year is 2053, and Los Angeles has turned into a grim place ruled by crime and corruption. William 'Blade' Hunter is a private detective who once was a police officer. He is asked to investigate a horrible murder of the mayor's daughter, whose body was mutilated. As Hunter begins to search for clues that would help him solve the crime, he uncovers a conspiracy involving a deadly drug and a powerful criminal syndicate behind it.</p>
<p><em>Rise of the Dragon</em> is a futuristic first-person adventure game. The game's visuals are reminiscent of a comic book, with digitized photos of actors and hand-painted backgrounds. Unlike most other adventure games of the time, it relies less on inventory puzzles and more on specific choices made by the player. The game has an internal clock and requires the player to plan the protagonist's moves ahead in order to be in the right place at the right time. Dialogues with multiple choices are utilized as a gameplay tool; a wrong choice will often lead to a premature end of the adventure.</p>
<p>There are two side-scrolling action sequences in the game; both can be bypassed without penalty if the player character dies several times in a row. The Sega CD version does not allow the player to skip these sequences. In addition, it uses a different color palette with a greenish tint, and has voice-overs for the dialogues.</p>

<p>A diverse arcade racing game with 16 different vehicles (not just cars, but also boats, trucks, spacecraft, and helicopters) to race. There are 24 circuits across 7 distinct terrains such as dirt, inner city and a futuristic sci-fi setting. Multiplayer games can be split-screen, modem or network based. In addition to a yoof-style soundtrack, audio commentary is on offer. The appearance of your vehicle can be customised, and the action viewed from multiple camera angles.</p>

<p>In <em>Armor Alley</em> you pilot a helicopter through side-viewed terrain. Your job is to take out the enemy forces and their base, initially armed with missiles, bombs and machine guns. Watch out for enemy anti-aircraft balloons.</p>
<p>However the game differs from most <a href="/search/?q=Choplifter">Choplifter</a> style games by involving management of a squad. You have tanks, explosive vans, engineers and infantry units which can be ordered from the base, and must then be protected from enemy fire. Supplies are limited by financial constraints, as every unit and weapon has a price.</p>

<p><em>Wibarm</em> is an action game with RPG elements, and several gameplay modes. The player controls a robot who can also transform into a tank or a flying spacecraft; each form has its own strengths and weaknesses. Similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Thexder">Thexder</a>, the player guides the transformable robot through side-scrolling levels, shooting at enemies and trying to stay alive. However, when the robot enters a building, the game transforms into one of the earlier examples of a 3D, third-person perspective shooter. The levels culminate in boss battles, which take place on separate top-down areas.</p>
<p>The player is given a considerable freedom as to which locations to visit first. Collecting power units increases the robot's power. If a particular boss encounter proves to be too difficult, the player can explore other areas, level up, and return to the boss stronger than before, giving the game an RPG angle.</p>

<p>Several years after having restored Lord British to his rightful position as the monarch of Britannia, the Avatar is captured by demon-like creatures and placed on a sacrificial altar. His friends Iolo, Shamino and Dupre appear just in time to save him. In the Britannia castle, the Avatar learns that his abductors were gargoyles, a race of enigmatic creatures who have recently invaded Britannia and occupied the shrines of Virtue. As the Avatar embarks on a quest to liberate Britannia, he begins to gain insight into the gargoyles' true motives, and realizes that it is his duty to achieve peace and understanding between the two races.</p>
<p><em>Ultima VI</em> is notable for having a fully continuous world. There is no "world map" in the game; all the locations are seamlessly connected to each other, turning the game world into an open environment. Compared to the previous installments in the series, the game focuses more on quests and exploration rather than on combat. The latter no longer involves separate screens; battles occur during exploration, without any transitions. The turn-based system from the previous games has been preserved. </p>
<p>The interface has been re-designed, the original key-bound commands co-existing with selectable command icons and mouse-based interaction. The game world is more detailed than in the previous games, with a large number of various objects that can be manipulated or added to the inventory. Conversations are more extended, with a wider selection of topics, including many personal ones unique to specific characters. The player is also able to conduct extensive conversations with the Avatar's companions, as well as split the party and control the characters separately. Some important topics may be highlighted during text display, to facilitate further dialogue, which requires the player to type the desired conversation topics.</p>
<p>Like in the predecessors, the player is free to explore the game world from the beginning of the game, and visit locations in any order. Following the main quest and obtaining specific items and information is necessary to complete the story; however, the player can also opt to bypass a large part of it by using previous knowledge of the game or outside help. The FM Towns version has full voice acting for all the conversations, in English and in Japanese.</p>

<p>You are Gideon Braver Vandenburg, heir to the planet. While you were away, unknown attackers destroyed your home, killed your entire family, and stole the Chalice that you need to win the throne. When you are implicated in your own family's death, you are forced into exile. With a help of an old friend who contributed an old Jenner and some credits, you must become a mercenary. Within five years, you must travel the Inner Sphere in search of clues to who set you up, and eventually avenge your family and recover the Chalice.</p>
<p><em>MechWarrior</em> is the first 3D <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/10/battletech-universe/">BattleTech</a> game. The player travels to planets, searching for "fixers" who will set up some contracts with the local authorities. The terms are a flat payment and some salvage payments. Some houses may be very stingy but provide important information. Others pay well but may not be as helpful. It is possible to buy, sell, and repair 'Mechs, hire or fire pilots, and decide which planet to move to while trying to maintain decent relationships with all five houses of the Inner Sphere and uncover clues about the next destination. Each mission in the game is randomly generated.</p>

<p>You are the genetically engineered Clan Mechwarrior. The Clans are invading the Inner Sphere. Join either the Wolf Clan or the Jade Falcon Clan as they pursue their own agenda against the Inner Sphere and other Clans. Take your advanced Omnimechs into battle against all comers. Win high warrior ratings (by using less mechs or smaller mechs than needed, completing secondary objectives, etc.) and you'll get chance at a promotion trial where you face superior odds in an arena. If you win, you advance in rank. If you are very successful, you can make it all the way up to Khan, leader of the Clan.</p>
<p><em>Mechwarrior II</em> was developed in-house by Activision as the successor to their original <a href="/search/?q=Mechwarrior">Mechwarrior</a>. While this time there are no dynamic campaign and mercenary actions, the Clan culture is integrated into the two campaigns. Different clans have different mechs and different rules, even different weapons. You can customize your mechs in order to use less than the "par" force in order to get a higher rating. The game features full 3D environments. The addition of NetMech allowed users to fight each other online. </p>
<p>When 3D cards came along, special versions of the game were created to take advantage of 3D texturing.</p>

<p>This mix of racing simulation and arcade game consists of driving a choice of 5 sports cars on a mountain strip at the fastest speed possible without getting caught by the cops.  To avoid them, use your radar detector -- or just try to outrun them if they spot you.  Manual stickshift only, so make sure you don't redline or you'll blow your engine.</p>

<p><em>Chuck Yeager's Air Combat</em> is a flight combat simulation. Fight over 50 missions with Chuck Yeager's advice on your side. You can use the mission builder to create your own missions if the history-based missions don't offer enough challenge. Replay modes let you fast forward and rewind through a recorded battle, including a 3-D "cube" visualization that helps analyze what happened.</p>

<p><em>Life &amp; Death</em> is a game which casts you as a doctor in a hospital. Your job is to diagnose patients and administer appropriate therapies, or even perform surgery when necessary. </p>
<p>The game was created in conjunction with by Myo Thant, a Hematologist. </p>
<p>To diagnose a patient, you have to press on his or her abdomen, to see which portions of the stomach cause pain. Based on triaging the patient (observation, medication or referring to another specialist), administering a X-Ray or ultrasound scan, you have to make a decision about the care, including surgery or medication.</p>
<p>In some cases, surgery will be necessary. You're the surgeon and you have to perform the operation very carefully, adhering strictly to the procedures, preserving hygiene, and maintaining care when cutting up the patient. </p>
<p>Should you mistakenly administer the wrong therapy, or kill your patient at the operating table, you're kicked into the medical school, where you're given hints as to what you've done wrong.</p>

<p>The Black Knight has brought misery to the land, and the end way to end this is to enter his haunted house to slay him. You are the brave adventurer taking on this quest through 14 increasingly-tough zones.</p>
<p>The bulk of the game is side-viewed, involving single screens to pass through, which incorporate ropes, cages and trapdoor. There are enemies walking, flying and hovering through this, and many of them respawn. Unusually your weapon to take them on (rocks) can be thrown through 360 degrees, which aims to make the gameplay more realistic and methodical. The screens were linked by hub screens, which the player passes through simply by clicking on a door.</p>

<p>Fight all sorts of virtual enemies as Our Hero, a rock star.  Your shotgun is your only friend as you travel from world to world fighting enemies in 3rd-person 3D.</p>

<p><em>NHL 96</em> was the first EA Sports game to feature Virtual Stadium technology, which resulted in a 3D feel and multiple camera angles. The NHL license ensures that real teams and players of the era are included, with a full league and playoff system. Many game options can be toggled - the infamous fighting is optional, as are the penalties and offsides. The control system makes it possible to execute one-touch passes, and several special trick moves to quickly advance the ball. As a bonus feature, it included Hockey Card profiles of every player on CD and interviews with the stars of the game.</p>

<p>Roger Wilco is one of the most important men on the starship Arcada: he is the janitor! Just when he was doing what he does best (dozing off in a closet), the shrill sound of an alarm penetrated the air. Arcada is attacked by the evil Sariens! Before Roger realizes what is going on, he discovers that he is the only survivor. The Sariens have killed the entire crew and stolen the valuable Star Generator. Roger's immediate task is to find a way to leave Arcada, which is about to explode in fifteen minutes. And then he'll have to show the Sariens why they should never mess with brave intergalactic janitors!</p>
<p><em>Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter</em> is a humorous sci-fi adventure game made with Sierra's AGI engine. The gameplay is similar to that of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/122/kings-quest/">King's Quest</a>: the player navigates Roger around with arrow keys and interacts with the game world by typing commands. There are puzzles to solve and plenty of situations where the player will have to use his wit to save Roger from death.</p>

<p>A long time ago, a great empire comprised of Humans, Velox, Thrynn and Elowan ruled the stars. The Empire's currency was an energy source called Endurium. But something happened and this empire is no more. Furthermore, the small colony world named Arth has forgotten this heritage and technology. A thousand years have since passed and the people of Arth have rediscovered archaeological evidence of their empire. Using these discoveries, they create spaceships and form the Interstel corporation to govern the fleet. It's time to take the first steps back into space... but could it be the same enemy that destroyed the Empire still exists?</p>
<p><em>Starflight</em> is a space exploration game with role-playing elements. The game is completely non-linear, allowing the player to venture to any star system and explore any of the vast amount of available planets. The main plot is advanced by following cryptic clues either received as transmissions at the initial spaceport, or obtained as a result of successful communication with various alien races populating the universe. </p>
<p>The player must first form a crew, assign their positions and customize the spaceship before blasting off from spacedock. Besides the captain of the ship, a science officer, a navigator, an engineer, a communicator, and a doctor have to be assigned to the ship. The player can choose between Humans, Velox, Thrynn, Elowan, and Android races when creating the characters. Each profession usually has a racial counterpart with the highest proficiency in it. Except Androids, members of every race can be trained in their skills by spending the game's currency. In the starting location the player can also acquire better weapons, armor, and shields for the ship, as well as outfit it with cargo pods. Terrain vehicle can be customized as well.</p>
<p>Once out into space, the standard interface allows access to different crew members and navigation. The entire galaxy is unknown and it's up to the player to travel to distant planets to explore and land on them. Planets may be inhospitable, with harsh weather conditions and various terrain types. Using a top-down interface, a planetary lander will venture out with the task of finding minerals and biological data to transport back to Starport. These resources can be sold for MU, the game's currency. </p>
<p>Different alien races control the galaxy and it will be up to the player to approach them diplomatically or face them in combat. Depending on the communicator's skill, the player may conduct successful conversations by assuming different postures, requesting information, or answering questions posed by the aliens. Each race has a different attitude and requires different approaches to peacefully end the negotiations. If all else fails, or if the player so wishes, the player-controlled ship may engage the aliens in combat, which is presented as overhead arcade action sequences. Successful exploration of the galaxy and alien cultures will yield clues and new leads as to the fate of the Empire.</p>
<p>The Amiga version adds an auto-mining command. The Genesis version has updated graphics and sound, and is different in several aspects: locations of minerals and artifacts are different; there are new weapons for the ship and upgrades for the terrain vehicle; landing on planets is no longer automatic and must be controlled manually to avoid crashing; terrain vehicle exploration is more realistic, with visible weather conditions and various terrain types slowing down the vehicle.</p>

<p>Gabriel Knight is a wise-cracking bookstore owner and would-be author. He is the last in a long line of Shadow Hunters, those fated to fight supernatural forces of evil. Tormented by terrifying nightmares, he must spend every waking moment scouring the side streets and back alleys of New Orleans for the key to his dark past. One day, a blood-chilling murder shocks the inhabitants of the city. The police detective assigned to investigate the crime is Gabriel's friend. In the beginning Gabriel collects evidence in hope of using the material for his new novel; but soon he finds himself personally involved in the investigation, and plunges deeper into the world of secret societies and murderous cults.</p>
<p><em>Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers</em> is a third-person puzzle-solving adventure game. Created by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/2199/jane-jensen/">Jane Jensen</a>, the game differs from Sierra's Quest games (e.g. <a href="/search/?q=Space+Quest">Space Quest</a>) by having a realistic setting and focusing (despite its supernatural elements and humor) on mature themes and detective work. In this way it is more similar to the company's earlier <a href="/search/?q=laura+bow">Laura Bow</a> games. </p>
<p>The game's icon-based interface is the same as in Sierra's previous titles, with verb commands that allow interaction with the game world and its inhabitants. Though the game still has plenty of inventory-based puzzles characteristic for classic adventure, its gameplay is heavily inclined towards dialogue. Typically, Gabriel will have to interrogate other characters, choosing conversation topics and thus gradually finding clues and advancing towards the mystery's solution.</p>
<p>The game's locations are done in hand-painted style. The CD version of the game adds full voice-overs to the dialogues, as well as narrator's voice to text descriptions.</p>

<p><em>The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery</em> is a direct sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/116/gabriel-knight-sins-of-the-fathers/">Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers</a>, the first in the supernatural mystery adventure series telling the story of a bookstore owner and writer Gabriel Knight, the last offspring of generations of Schattenjaegers (shadow hunters), whose task is to fight the evil forces that abound in the world.</p>
<p>After leaving New Orleans, Gabriel moves to the Ritter Castle in Bavaria, Germany, his family heritage. One day, a group of peasants approach the castle, and the elder tells Gabriel about a terrible death of a little girl, who was killed by a vicious wolf. Suspecting the wolf could be a supernatural creature, the peasant asks the Schattenjaeger to purge the evil. The investigation brings Gabriel and his assistant Grace Nakimura to the mysterious Hunter Society and to Bavaria's dark past.</p>
<p>The game utilizes a cast of live actors and full-motion video technology: the actors are filmed over photorealistic images of Munich and its surroundings, and nearly every interaction with the environment leads to a FMV sequence. Despite its visual style, <em>The Beast Within</em> is not an interactive movie, but a full-fledged adventure game with many dialogues, detective work to do, and puzzles to solve. Unlike the first game, it is entirely controlled through point-and-click actions - all the icons have been replaced by a single cursor. Both Gabriel and Grace are available as playable characters during different chapters of the story.</p>

<p><em>Shadows of Darkness</em> is the fourth <em>Quest for Glory</em> game. It is a journey into the land of Mordavia - a setting influenced by Eastern Europe, particularly its Slavic areal. The hero had just begun to enjoy his victory in Tarna, when a spell zapped him into parts unknown, without a weapon, items, or even a source of light. Shortly after finding his way out of the dark cave, the hero meets a mysterious woman named Katrina. He traverses the swamps in the dark forest and finally reaches the town. However, the town is also engulfed by a foreboding atmosphere, and the hero cannot allow himself to relax. He must find out what is going on, why the town inhabitants are so hesitant and reluctant to help him, and what horrors are lurking outside of its walls. Life has never been quite so dangerous for our hero. He'll discover his quest soon enough - that is, if he lives.</p>
<p>Like the previous <em>Quest For Glory</em> titles, the game is a combination of puzzle-solving adventure and role-playing. The player character can be a fighter, a thief, a magician, or a paladin. Importing a character from a preceding installment of the series is also possible. Once again the hero improves his skills by repeatedly using them (like throwing stones at a tree to improve the throwing ability, which might be needed to solve a puzzle). </p>
<p>Combat system in this installment has undergone a major change. Battles are viewed from a side-scrolling perspective and are action-oriented. The protagonist is able to move freely, jump, and execute attacks and defensive moves, similarly to fighting games. The CD version of the game adds voice-overs to conversations as well as narrator's voice to text descriptions.</p>

<p>When his family was gunned down by gangsters, Frank Castle became The Punisher. As Judge, Jury, and Executioner, The Punisher is cleaning up New York City one dead criminal at a time. However, if he can raise $500,000, he can pay off an informant for the location of the biggest criminal in Manhattan, The Kingpin. Working with a time limit and financed by The Trust, he only has a short time to complete enough missions to raise that much money.</p>
<p><em>The Punisher</em> primarily plays from a top-down perspective, where the player moves Frank through the streets and alleys of New York, entering buildings and taking out enemies with a range of weaponry. He also drives to locations in his Battle Van, where the player controls the van from a first-person perspective, to the mission’s address. The game also has a scrolling mode when Frank scuba dives and knifes underwater assailants on the way to boats.</p>

<p>Sir Graham is a brave knight who is sent on a quest to retrieve three treasures that were stolen by deception and stealth: a shield that protects its bearer from invaders, a mirror that foretells the future, and a treasure chest that is forever filled with gold. If Graham takes these treasures back to the royal castle, then the ailing King Edward the Benevolent of Daventry will hand over the crown. During his travels, Graham will meet characters that will either help or hinder him. </p>
<p><em>King's Quest</em> is commonly considered the progenitor of third-person-perspective adventure games. As opposed to earlier graphic adventures, the player is able to navigate the protagonist on screen in eight directions, creating an effect of three-dimensional exploration. The player character can also be obscured from view when hiding behind an object, is subjected to gravity, and has different animations for actions such as picking up an item, falling, swimming, etc. Graham can be moved around with arrow keys and perform various actions when the player types commands, normally consisting of noun and verb combinations (e.g. "Take flower", "Talk man", etc.).</p>
<p>The game world consists of a cyclic outdoor area with places of interest (houses, characters, etc.) that must be found through exploration. Much of the kingdom is accessible to Graham from the beginning, and there are only a few restrictions imposed on traveling. In order to complete the game, the player has to procure certain items and use them in correct situations or with specific characters. Some of the puzzles rely on fairy tales, and a good knowledge of those makes them easier to solve. </p>
<p>The game awards the player points for most of the actions he makes Graham perform. Since some of those are not crucial to completion, it is quite possible to finish the game without having attained the full score. Some of the tasks in the game have multiple solutions, though the game may grant the player less points if he chooses the simpler one. Many hazards await Graham on his journey, and death is frequent if the player is not careful. The game can also be rendered unwinnable by failing to collect a specific item or wasting it.</p>

<p>After having recovered the three treasures, King Graham has been crowned king. Now having needing a queen for companionship, Graham searches the land for a maiden, but to no avail, so he turns to the magic mirror for help. The mirror shows him a beautiful girl locked away in a quartz tower in a faraway land of Kolyma, and must find three keys that are used to unlock the door that will lead to her. </p>
<p><em>King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne</em> is a graphic adventure game. As is typical for Sierra's AGI games, players move Graham around with arrow keys and perform actions by typing commands in the interface, which are usually combination of verbs and nouns. The game is similar to its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/122/kings-quest/">predecessor</a> in structure and gameplay system. Like Daventry, Kolyma is a large cyclical world consisting of interconnected screens. Compared to the first game, it is bigger and busier, with more locations and places of interest. Puzzles follow a similar format; knowledge of fairy tales is advisable for solving some of them, and complex solutions grant the player more points than a brute force approach possible in some cases.</p>

<p>George, Lizzy and Ralph were just ordinary Americans, until an experiment went wrong, turning them into a Gorilla, Lizard and Werewolf respectively. Following this, the three of them plan to go round destroying buildings, and up to 3 human players can join in.</p>
<p>Smashing at the edges of the buildings for long enough will make them collapse. The police and military are after you, and will shoot at you, so try to destroy them (failing that, you can avoid the bullets). You will need to eat regularly, with things like plants on offer, to avoid shrinking back to being human.</p>

<p>Since the events in <a href="/search/?q=Star+Control+2">Star Control 2</a> the Ur-Quan have been pacified and the captain who bravely destroyed the Sa-Matra has had a horrible vision of the future. Suddenly without warning, all Hyperspace travel in the universe has stopped. Top scientists have pinpointed the cause of this disturbance somewhere in unexplored space in an area known as the Kessari Quadrant. Hastily assembling a fleet of ships as and an untested Precusor star drive... a loose alliance of alien races known as The League of Sentient Races sends a task force to the Kessari Quadrant. You are its commander.</p>
<p><em>Star Control 3</em> features a new 3D star map, new alien races to discover, new worlds to explore and colonize, new artifacts to research and a new isometric Hyper Melee battle system for inter-starship battles.</p>

<p>King Graham and Queen Valanice had two children, Alexander and Rosella, and the kingdom was once peaceful. It wasn't long until Alexander was snatched from his crib and things started to take a turn for the worse. A three-headed dragon threatens the ever-peaceful Daventry, and requires a maiden to be sacrificed every year. Rosella is the chosen one.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, in a secluded house atop a mountain in the land of Llewdor, the evil wizard called Manannan keeps a young lad named Gwydion as his slave, forcing him to do menial tasks as he prepares his spells and observes the country through his telescope. Gwydion must find a way to outsmart the wizard, escape, and eventually discover the truth about his own identity.</p>
<p><em>King's Quest III: To Heir is Human</em> is an adventure game similar in basic gameplay mechanics to its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/123/kings-quest-ii-romancing-the-throne/">predecessor</a> The player navigates Gwydion with arrow keys and interacts with the environment by typing verb and noun combination commands. Llewdor consists of interconnected screens that loop once the player character reaches the border of the land. Throughout the course of the game, Gwydion will also travel to other locations and have a magic map at his disposal, allowing him to teleport to different areas. </p>
<p>There are more items to collect in this installment, and more complex actions required to execute, raising the difficulty level. A large part of the game proceeds in real time, with Mannanan following his own schedule, forcing the player to plan and time his actions. There is also a time limit imposed on the game's first major quest.</p>

<p>The ace janitor Roger Wilco thought he'd seen the last of Sludge Vohaul. However, like every evil scientist is supposed to, Vohaul returns with an even meaner scheme. This time he intends to infest the planet Xenon with thousands of genetically engineered door-to-door life insurance salesmen. The last thing he wants is Roger messing things up, and so the brave janitor is captured and brought to the planet Labion to spend the rest of his days working in Vohaul's mines. Fortunately, the shuttle that takes him to the mines crashes, and Roger is the only survivor. He will have to survive the dangers of the jungle planet Labion, and eventually stop Vohaul from executing his mad plan.</p>
<p><em>Vohaul's Revenge</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/114/space-quest-chapter-i-the-sarien-encounter/">The Sarien Encounter</a>, and the second game in Sierra's humorous <em>Space Quest</em> series of adventure games. The player navigates Roger Wilco around with arrow keys, and interacts with the world by typing commands. Like in the previous game, there are many ways for the player character to die. Much of the gameplay is dedicated to avoiding the many traps and hazards Roger will meet on his way. Some actions must be performed quickly in order to prevent Roger from getting killed.</p>

<p>King Graham and Queen Valanice were glad to have their children back. Graham thinks that it is time to pass onto them his old adventurers' hat. When he throws it across the room, he suffers a heart attack and collapses on the floor, and he is carried off to bed. The only way that Graham's health can be restored is by retrieving the magic fruit in the faraway land of Tamir. A beautiful fairy called Genesta offers Rosella the chance to be transported to the land, and find the fruit. But once she gets transported, she cannot be sent back unless she helps the fairy regain her talisman that was stolen by the evil witch, Lolotte. </p>
<p><em>King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella</em> is the first game in the series to have a female protagonist. Rosella will meet characters that will either help or hinder her. The player moves Rosella around with arrow keys, and have her perform actions by typing commands. Unlike the previous King's Quest games, which used the AGI engine, this installment uses the new SCI engine with more detailed graphics; the most visible effect is that the game is paused while the player is typing, giving unlimited time to complete even the longest commands. An AGI version of the game, however, was released as well.</p>
<p>Gameplay-wise, the game is similar to the first two installments of the series, with a large interconnected world open for exploration and no time limit imposed. The game is the first in the series to have a day and night cycle; certain actions can be performed only during a specific time.</p>

<p>On a beautiful sunny day, King Graham of Daventry decides to take a stroll in the woods surrounding his castle. When he returns, he discovers with horror that his home, Daventry Castle, has completely disappeared! Graham is at a loss, and wonders how this could have happened, when a talking owl named Cedric appears. He tells him that he saw the whole thing, and that an evil wizard named Mordack whisked the entire castle away, along with Graham's family in it. Cedric offers to take him to his homeland, Serenia, where his master, the wizard Crispin resides. Surely Crispin will be able to help King Graham rescue his family from Mordack's clutches.</p>
<p><em>King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder</em> is an adventure game, and the first from Sierra to use a point-and-click mouse interface. Rather than typing commands on a keyboard to interact with the game world and use the arrow keys to walk around, <em>King's Quest V</em> instead simplifies all actions down to base commands. To access the different cursors, the player can move the mouse to the top of the screen, revealing a hidden menu with each of the different actions, as well as game options and the inventory bag. By clicking the "Walk" cursor on the screen, Graham will walk as close as he can to the appropriate area. Clicking the "Eye" cursor on items will provide a description, the same as typing "Look at". The "Hand" cursor is a multipurpose cursor that can be used to push, pull, interact with and pick up objects. The "Head" cursor is used to talk to people (and in the strange world of <em>King's Quest</em>, often objects and animals, too). Players can also right-click to cycle through the different available cursors. Inventory that Graham picks up now gets placed into a bag. By clicking on the bag, this opens up a sub-window that displays all the inventory that Graham currently has. In here, players can look at or interact with objects, combine them with other objects, or pick them up to use them in the game environment as another cursor.</p>
<p>As with most Sierra games, it is quite possible to die. Bumping into witches, poisonous scorpions, falling off edges of cliffs, dying of thirst in the desert, and many other objects, locations and characters will send Graham to an untimely demise. The player must be cautious as they explore Serenia - frequent game saving across multiple files is usually the best course of action to make sure that you don't get stuck or have to start right from the game's very beginning.</p>
<p>The NES port of King's Quest V retains the icon-based interface and most of the locations, puzzles, and dialogue from the earlier release. Graphics had to be re-drawn with fewer colors and less detail to fit within the restrictions of the hardware, and the artwork in many areas is different.</p>
<p>This version removes most alternate solutions to puzzles and does not allow many actions that would render the game unwinnable. It also shortens and eliminates several scenes; for example, it is impossible to revisit the wizard in the first house. A few locations (such as the desert) are smaller. Some death sequences have been removed or modified not to include words related to death. Finally, some text descriptions were altered.</p>

<p>For months Prince Alexander of Daventry has shut himself away from the world, thinking only of Princess Cassima, who he met while imprisoned in the <a href="/search/?q=King's+Quest+V:+Absence+Makes+the+Heart+Go+Yonder">previous game</a>. Eventually he can take it no longer, and he hires a ship to search for the Land of the Green Isles located on the edge of the world. After months of searching he finally sets sight upon the island kingdom, only for a freak storm to strike the ship, destroying it and leaving him the only survivor. His troubles are far from over, however, as he soon finds out that the King and Queen have passed away, the Greens Isles are on the brink of war, and his beloved Princess Cassima may even be held prisoner by the royal vizier.</p>
<p>Like its predecessors in the series, <em>King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow</em> is a third-person puzzle-solving adventure game. For Alexander to save the Isles, he must travel between the Land's four magical islands, each based on myth and fables, and encounter people and strange beasts that will either help or hinder him. Alexander must be careful as well, because, as with all the <em>King's Quest</em> games, poor choices or missteps will often prove fatal for the Prince. Puzzles are solved linearly, although late in the game there are two completely different paths to take to reach the final confrontation. Like the previous game, actions are performed using a point-and-click interface with icons that represent verbs ("walk", "examine", "use", "talk", etc.). </p>
<p>The CD-ROM version of the game includes both DOS and Windows versions, full speech, a pre-rendered introduction, and the <em>Girl in the Tower</em> theme song.</p>

<p>In 1834, in the small New England fishing village of Illsmouth, the distinguished British scientist Lord Boleskine lost his mind. After studying ancient manuscripts of evil repute, he had travelled to this place to observe the passing of Halley's comet. What he observed that night, however, turned him into a raving lunatic. Now, 76 years later, Halley's comet is coming back, and young reporter John T. Parker has travelled to Illsmouth to try to uncover the truth in Boleskine's wild claims, and see the comet
for himself.</p>
<p><em>Shadow of the Comet</em> is a horror adventure game, inspired by the terrifying writings of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/633/h-p-lovecraft/">H. P. Lovecraft</a>. Contrary to many adventure games from the early 90s, the game has a keyboard driven interface with a system of actions activated either by pressing the corresponding key (L for look, G for get, T for talk, U for use) or selecting them from the menu activated by the TAB key. The CD release was enhanced with a mouse-driven interface. Typical for Infogrames titles (e.g. <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1368/eternam/">Eternam</a>), the game contains vector-based cut scenes with enlarged graphics of the faces of the speakers during dialogues.</p>
<p>The GOG.com release of this game includes both Floppy and CD versions of the game. The main differences are new graphics, mouse-driven interface and full voice-acting whereas the Floppy version doesn't feature any voice-acting. The CD version's launcher screen additionally includes a <em>Museum</em> mini-game where character can walk through a museum and look at various mystical objects and paintings inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/633/h-p-lovecraft/">H. P. Lovecraft</a>.</p>

<p>Bob Morlock is a game designer who has just developed a new sci-fi video game set in outer space and alien worlds. While testing the product Morlock inexplicably finds himself in the spaceship within the game. A hyperspace accident clones him thirty times. Each of the clones departs, taking with him a portion of a vital fluid that sustains Morlock's life. Assuming the persona of the brave Captain Blood, the programmer tracked down and disintegrated twenty-five clones, spending 800 years to achieve that goal. However, five clones still remain, hidden somewhere in the depths of the galaxy. Captain Blood must find these clones and destroy them before he loses his own life.</p>
<p><em>Captain Blood</em> is an open-ended first-person adventure game. Much of the game consists of traveling to various planets and communicating with the aliens there to gather clues concerning the clones' whereabouts. The player commands a biological ship called Ark, and must launch probes onto planet surfaces, successfully navigating them through the landscape to locate an alien. The Ark can also scan planets and sometimes teleport aliens to different locations.</p>
<p>Conversations with the aliens are conducted via the so-called UPCOM interface. Over 150 icons are available to represent different concepts. Since each alien speaks their own language, the player must input various combinations of the icons to be able to understand the alien and communicate with them. Successfully concluding conversations may offer clues or unlock other planets. The protagonist's health deteriorates over the time, which affects the game's interface by making it more difficult to control. These symptoms may be reverted by disintegrating a clone.</p>

<p>Queen Valanice of Daventry has always thought that getting married would be the best course of action for her daughter Rosella. However, the young princess seems to be more interested in adventure, recklessly following a mysterious magical creature into a whirlpool that eventually transfer herself and her mother to another world. The two end up in different parts of a land known as Eldritch, with Rosella being transformed into a troll. They must find each other and eventually defeat an evil sorceress who plots to ruin the land.</p>
<p>Like its predecessors, <em>King's Quest VII</em> is an adventure game primarily based on solving inventory puzzles. It discards the icon-based interface of the two previous installments, and instead features a simplified "smart cursor" used for general interaction with highlighted objects and characters, as well as significantly fewer text descriptions. The game is divided into chapters, alternating between the queen and the princess as protagonists. As opposed to the realistic drawing style of all the preceding game, it has brightly colored visuals reminiscent of Walt Disney cartoons.</p>

<p>Narrowly escaping the events of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/128/space-quest-ii-chapter-ii-vohauls-revenge/">Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge</a>, Roger Wilco's escape pod floats through space. As just another metallic item of junk, it's soon picked up by an interstellar garbage hauler. Waking up in a pile of trash, quite familiar for this janitor-turned-hero, Roger Wilco must somehow escape. Once given access to the rest of the galaxy, he'll soon find himself having to avoid a collections cyborg for payments overdue, dealing with the corporate prison of software company Scummsoft, and having to digest the greasy food from the galaxy's finest hamburger joint. </p>
<p><em>Space Quest 3</em> is a graphical adventure. The mouse is functional for movement and inventory access, however the game primarily relies on a text parser for specific commands and manipulation of objects on screen. In addition to the regular gameplay, there are also various mini-games, such as a simple non-scrolling arcade game <em>Astro Chicken</em>, as well as a radar screen representation for ship-to-ship space combat.</p>

<p>Following his humorous adventures in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/142/space-quest-iii-the-pirates-of-pestulon/">previous game</a>, Roger Wilco is relaxing at his favorite pub somewhere in time and space when heavily armed soldiers enter the room. Carrying a parting message from Roger's old nemesis, Sludge Vohaul, they plan to get rid of the janitorial hero, execution style. That is, until a man with an over-sized hair dryer helps Roger escape through a time rip into the future. Now Roger Wilco has woken up on his home planet, some time in a meta-fictional <em>Space Quest XII</em>. It is a grim, dystopian future: the series has gone to ruin without its hero, and Vohaul rules supreme. Roger must find a way to avoid Vohaul's henchmen, fulfill his destiny, and learn about a few surprises that await him in his own future.</p>
<p><em>Space Quest IV</em> is the first in the <em>Space Quest</em> series to feature Sierra's icon-based SCI interface and 256-color graphics. The command set includes icons for walking, looking, using or taking, talking, smelling, tasting, as well as inventory access. Roger Wilco is shown on the screen from the exterior in multiple viewpoints. Like in the previous games, inventory-based puzzle-solving co-exists with timed tasks and various hazards that will kill Roger if the player is not careful.</p>

<p>After travelling back and forth through time in the <a href="/search/?q=Space+Quest+4">previous game</a>, Roger Wilco is back in the Starfleet Academy, serving as both a cadet and a janitor. Cheating his way through the Starfleet Aptitude Test, Roger is finally given the rank of captain, his own ship (a garbage scow) and a mission: to explore strange new worlds (which no man in his right mind would explore), to seek out new life and new civilizations (which grew out of the massive amounts of trash Roger will collect on his way), to boldly go where no man has gone before. Step by step Roger will have to unveil a galaxy-wide biohazardous material dumping scheme, solve the mystery of the disappearance of a fellow Starfleet captain and his ship, and confront an agent of an old nemesis.</p>
<p><em>Space Quest V: The Next Mutation</em> is an adventure game in the <em>Space Quest</em> series. Like its brethren, it is characterized by humorous writing and situations, as well as plenty of opportunities for the hero to die horribly. The game is entirely mouse-controlled: the player interacts with the world by clicking on locations, people and objects on the screen, cycling between various actions (walking, looking, touching or taking, talking, etc.), by clicking the right mouse button or using the icon bar. The latter also contains icons that allow the player to access Roger's inventory, quit the game or change the settings. </p>
<p>Commands for smelling and tasting have been removed, but a special icon for giving orders has been added. It can be used on any object or character in the game, but its actual purpose is to issue specific commands to the crew members: Roger's garbage scow, the Eureka, has a crew over which he presides. The game is plot-driven and contains cutscenes done in a comic book-like style. Plot development is linear, but each planet the protagonist visits usually consists of several screens and contains its own objectives and puzzles. There are also hazardous situations that may occur on the spaceship itself and must be dealt with.</p>

<p>Roger Wilco, the brave interstellar janitor who has already saved the universe from many great dangers, is now in a very embarrassing position. His commanders show no respect for his courageous actions in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/144/space-quest-v-the-next-mutation/">previous game</a>. Instead, he is being accused of all kinds of violations against the galactic law, is deprived of all the honors he got in the previous game, and as a token of mercy, is allowed to return to his old job - cleaning closets... But those unfortunate events are just the beginning of much bigger troubles Roger will get into. Once again, the future of galaxy depends on him!</p>
<p><em>Space Quest 6</em> is the first game in the series to be released exclusively on a CD ROM. The game continues the humorous tradition of the series and is especially inclined towards parody of popular sci-fi movies. It features SVGA graphics and voice-overs for conversations and text descriptions. The interface is slightly different from icon-based system used by Sierra in many other adventure games: the player chooses verbs from a menu that appears at the bottom of the screen, similarly to earlier <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/72/lucasfilm-games/">LucasArts</a> titles. Unlike all previous <em>Space Quest</em> installments, the game allows the player to retry immediately in case Roger dies, without the need to restore a previously saved game.</p>

<p>Sonny Bonds is a small town policeman who must fight against the rising tide of drugs in his city. The game is based on real police procedure and adheres carefully to following the rules of police work. Beginning as a patrol officer and working into detectives, Sonny will chase down the infamous Death Angel and put an end to his criminal underworld.</p>
<p>A typical Sierra parser game built with the popular AGI engine, <em>Police Quest</em> differs from the others release by the company in the realism of the setting and travelling, that is done by car, controlled by the player using a overhead view (instead of the cabbie of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/379/leisure-suit-larry-in-the-land-of-the-lounge-lizards/">Leisure Suit Larry</a> or walking around in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/83855/space-quest/">Space Quest</a>). Some sections of the game require the player to be efficient driving the car (as there are a fair number of chases, and traffic rules also apply to the player).</p>

<p>Little time has passed since the events of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Police+Quest:+In+Pursuit+of+the+Death+Angel">Police Quest</a>, when Sonny Bonds climbed the ranks of the Lytton police department and became the key element in the arrest of Jesse Bains, the notorious drug lord. After the trial, Sonny's application to the Homicide division was accepted and proposed to Marie, who had her prostitution charges dropped and started a new life away from the streets. Life was good - until Bains escaped, taking advantage of a low-security prison and an inexperienced correctional officer. Sonny is now in danger from a vengeful Bains and is saddled with his new chain-smoker partner Keith. Sonny goes to the field again to capture Bains, but things are about to get awfully personal...</p>
<p>Using Sierra's new SCI engine, the graphics are more vibrant than in the first game, but gameplay remains basically the same, with the player ordering Sonny to move to a place in the scene (either using the directional keys or the new mouse interface) and a parser interface to interact with the game world. Game sequences are more varied, and include a shooting range, an underwater search or searching the inside of an escape vehicle. The driving sequences are gone, and the player can relax while reading the chatter between Sonny and Keith as they move from location to location.
The approach to the game, however, is radically different. While the first (for a large part) is based on street police work, this sequel is oriented into forensics field work such as collecting evidences that link Bains into the happenings of the game.</p>

<p>Sonny Bonds, the sergeant of Lytton police department, thought he could finally enjoy peaceful life with his wife Marie after the drug lord Jessie Bains has been put away for good. However, a series of gruesome murders perpetrated by a sinister cult known as "The Kindred" shocks the city. Marie becomes a victim of their attack and falls into a coma. It becomes Sonny's very personal mission to track down the attackers and make them pay for their crimes.</p>
<p><em>The Kindred</em> is the third installment of the Police Quest series, its events taking place after those described in <a href="/search/?q=police+quest+II:+the+vengeance">The Vengeance</a>. The game brings back some of the elements of the <a href="/search/?q=Police+Quest:+In+Pursuit+of+the+Death+Angel">first game</a>, such as a modified version of driving sequences and police procedures unrelated to the main plot the protagonist must go through. Computer work is particularly emphasized, requiring the player to perform tasks such as using facial composite software or figuring out murder patterns by studying a map. Like other Sierra adventures of the time, the game uses an icon-based interface for interaction with the environment.</p>

<p><em>Police Quest: Open Season</em> is the fourth installment in the <em>Police Quest</em> series. It abandons the story arc of the previous three games, introducing a new setting and a new protagonist, homicide detective John Carey of the Los Angeles Police Department. Carey finds his best friend and ex-partner, Officer Bob Hickman, murdered in an alley in the Southern part of the city. An eight-year-old boy named Bobby Washington has been murdered as well. Carey begins an investigation that leads him deep into the criminal life of the city and a hunt for a maniacal murderer.</p>
<p>The game utilizes Sierra's traditional icon-based interface for interaction with the environment and generally follows an adventure format. However, it focuses on realistic police procedures even more than the previous games in the series. Much of the gameplay is dedicated to examining crime scenes, questioning suspects, and conducting a by-the-book investigation. There is a considerable degree of freedom in the interaction, allowing the player to perform actions not connected to the main story, some of which will, however, lead to the protagonist's death. The game utilizes digitized photorealistic images for its visuals.</p>

<p>Shifting from an adventure series to a tactical simulator, SWAT puts you in command of a member on a swat team.  Centered around training and then several missions, your adherence to procedure and team work will determine the outcome.</p>

<p><em>Mean 18</em> is a golf simulation released in the early years of 16-bit technology. The three-click control system was used, whereby the first click starts the swing, the second sets the power, and the third sets draw or fade.</p>
<p>Apart from the Bush Hill course the game comes with <em>Famous Course Disk Volume I</em> which includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>St Andrews, Scotland, UK</li>
<li>Pebble Beach, California, USA</li>
<li>Augusta National, Georgia, USA</li>
</ul>
<p>A unique feature for the day was the Course Architect, which was quite versatile with practice.</p>
<p>Beginner and Expert difficulty options are given - the latter mode has more pronounced draw and fade effects, making the timing of the third click even more crucial. You can also choose between regular and professional tees - in the latter option the distance on the holes is longer, and the computer doesn't choose the best club automatically. Because long drives aren't a crucial aspect of many of the holes, the Beginner/Expert setting is a bigger factor on your likely scoring.</p>

<p><em>Dungeon Keeper</em> takes real-time strategy into a fantasy setting. You command a dungeon and its hellish minions, and must take them to glory against the hated good guys. You must use your gold to build a fortress and weapons to attack. </p>
<p>As well as being able to rotate the 3D view, and control the light source, you can enter the direct viewpoints of your men, to see life through their eyes (one character's mode goes into black and white for this).</p>

<p>Drive exotic cars while fleeing police in this sequel of the popular <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/13/test-drive-series-and-add-ons/">Test Drive series</a>. New features include a true 3D engine (polygonal meshes), a selection of music on the radio, police evasion, instant replay, digitized dashboard/interiors, and larger, more diverse driving environment with multiple routes. Drive Lamborghini Diablo or the Pininfarina Mythos and Chevrolet CERV III prototypes.</p>

<p>With robots now in control of the Earth, the last remaining humans are held in a Zoo. They are alongside key American artifacts, for the entertainment and curiosity of the robot overlords. A wave of killings is taking place, and you have 12 hours to work out who is responsible and why.</p>
<p><em>Free D.C!</em> is primarily an adventure game, in which conversations with other characters provide most of the clues. The game is not puzzle-oriented in the way contemporaries such as <a href="/search/?q=Monkey+Island">Monkey Island</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Kyrandia">Legend of Kyrandia</a> are, and is organized in a non-linear way. Graphics are made using Claymation figures, and the sound includes sampled speech.</p>

<p><em>4-D Boxing</em> leaves behind any pretences of being a pure arcade game based on boxing and aims to recreate the sport in full detail. The graphics engine allows for multiple camera angles and viewpoints, and considerably detailed visuals. These required more advanced hardware than was common at the time, but a stick-figure mode was included as a compromise. The moves on offer include all the uppercuts and hooks of a real fight, and the players are designed to move realistically to implement them. </p>
<p>You progress through the game by taking on a succession of increasingly difficult fighters and get to train your boxer in between. Advanced action replays are included as well, so you can review all that happened.</p>

<p>Carmen Sandiego is a master thief who leads the criminal organization V.I.L.E. This organization specializes in stealing the world's treasures without a trace. Alarmed by this, the A.C.M.E. Detective Agency makes it their personal mission to foil Carmen Sandiego's plans.</p>
<p><em>Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?</em> is a game that tests the player's knowledge about geography and general knowledge about different countries. Missions will begin with a treasure being stolen and the player flying to that location. A time limit counts down while they must search the area and interview witnesses to find enough clues to figure out what country the thief flew to next. The player always has a limited selection (usually three or four) of flights available in any given country. This process is repeated until either the villain is found or time expires and they are able to get away.</p>
<p>Along with finding out where the thief has headed, the player must discover who the thief is, by best matching personal characteristics (gender, hair color, eye color, hobbies, notable features) to dossiers on Carmen's gang. There must be enough characteristics matched in order to obtain a warrant, which is essential to legally arrest the suspect once they have been found. Progress in arresting VILE members will expose other members, eventually leading up to Carmen Sandiego herself.</p>

<p>Kate, the daughter of a wealthy businessman named E.A. Lomax, is abducted by a Chinese warlord named Li Deng near Chengdu, where she was volunteering as a nurse. Lomax recruits the former World War I fighter pilot Jake "Lucky" Masters for a dangerous mission: travel to Hong-Kong, locate a mysterious ninja, and find a way to infiltrate Li Deng's fortress and rescue Kate.</p>
<p><em>Heart of China</em> is an adventure game with a romantic theme somewhat reminiscent of films such as <em>Raiders of the Lost Ark</em>. The game is set during the 1930's in China as well as a few other locations. It uses a simple point-and-click system for interaction and object manipulation, and is very similar visually and gameplay-wise to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/98/rise-of-the-dragon/">Rise of the Dragon</a>. </p>
<p>Some of the tasks in the game have multiple solutions, allowing the player to pursue different methods and choose different responses in branching dialogues. However, some choices may lead to the protagonist's death or bring the investigation to a dead end. There are also a few arcade sequences, which can be skipped if the player fails to complete them after several tries. The game utilizes digitized photos of live actors superimposed on hand-painted graphics.</p>

<p>A hero saved the human race from utter annihilation by the gods. This same hero then was charged by the heavens to take care of a young seed dropped from there. This seed becomes his daughter, and her guardian will be watching her progress.</p>
<p>In <em>Princess Maker 2</em> the player assumes the role of a father to the blessed daughter of the heavens. For the next eight years, the hero will nurture and guide her in the path of the player's own choosing.</p>
<p>It is possible to choose the path of the zodiac-influenced daughter by scheduling her to jobs and schools, which will raise her statistics (strength, combat skills, cooking, faith, etc.). Each month allows the player to designate three different tasks for her to follow. Balancing between character development, stress level, health and financial income is the focus of this game.</p>
<p>Mini sub-quests and various plot options revolve around the young lady adventuring in the wilderness, provided that she's strong enough to tame the wilds. The player can equip her with armor and weapons to fight off wandering random monsters in turn-based combat.</p>
<p>The game starts with the daughter at age ten, from which point the player guides her until her adult years. Choices made during the course of the game will determine her eventual marital status, accomplishments, and her relationships with other people. There are 74 unique endings in the game.</p>

<p>As with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/214/sid-meiers-pirates/">the original</a>, this is a blend of strategy, action and adventure. <em>Pirates! Gold</em> lets you play the role of a beginning buccaneer in the 17th century Spanish Main, in search of fame and fortune. Each town in this untamed raw region has different surprises and dangers. </p>
<p>How you acquire stature is up to you; you can make your living through honest trade and the search for hidden treasure, or you can be a little more daring and attack and plunder ships. As you can choose a specific skill to stand out in, the game can vary each time. Sword fighting is played out in side-view action sequences.</p>

<p>In <em>Silpheed</em>, the player pilots a spaceship through levels of increasing difficulty, in a pseudo-3D vertically scrolling field, shooting everything in his path. New weapons will become available as he gathers points, and power-ups are sprinkled throughout the levels. </p>
<p>The game is one of the first-ever that used music as a selling point.</p>

<p>The little town of Spielburg is populated mostly by beer-drinking humans and some centaurs who like working in the field. Spielburg is surrounded by forests and mountains, where all kinds of weird creatures dwell: ogres, goblins, talking foxes, stupid magicians, and others. Lately, Spielburg has been assaulted by brigands; besides, the witch Baba Yaga is not to be trusted. The town has everything it needs--even a Thieves Guild--except a strong, brave hero who would protect it. So when a wandering adventurer enters the town, he quickly realizes that his skills might be of use.</p>
<p><em>Hero's Quest: So You Want to Be a Hero</em> is a hybrid game that contains Role-Playing and Adventure elements. It is visually very similar to other <em>Quest</em> titles by Sierra (such as for example <a href="/search/?q=Space+Quest">Space Quest</a>), but the gameplay--besides the usual exploration, conversations with characters, and the solving an occasional puzzle with the help of inventory items--also involves combat and character development. In the beginning of the game, the player chooses a character class for the protagonist--either a Fighter, a Mage, or a Thief. The choice of class will influence not only the combat, but also many other events in the game. Puzzles might have different solutions depending on the class and the amount of ability points in various categories.</p>
<p>The main character's skills and abilities are raised directly by repeatedly performing appropriate actions, e.g. fighting enemies, practicing, climbing, throwing objects, etc. Many of those activities are necessary to perform in order to successfully complete the game. Combat takes the player to a separate screen (represented by the enemy's picture) and involves timed selection of commands such as Attack, Parry, etc. The interaction with the game-world is performed by typing verb commands or conversation topics.</p>
<p>The game features a day/night cycle, which also includes character schedules. The main character can get hungry and tired, so feeding him and getting some rest is essential.</p>

<p><em>Trial by Fire</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/168/heros-quest-so-you-want-to-be-a-hero/">Hero's Quest: So You Want To Be A Hero</a>. It takes place in the town Shapeir and the desert surrounding it, in a Middle East-like environment. It seems that the powerful elemental spirits have been troubling the Shapeir folk recently. Something, or someone, is behind those troubles. It is the hero's task to find out what is going on, get acquainted with the many inhabitants of Shapeir, and prove once more that he is worthy of his heroic title.</p>
<p>Like its predecessor, <em>Trial by Fire</em> is a hybrid game that incorporates elements from adventure and role-playing genres. It has a text-based interface, puzzles to solve, inventory items, characters to talk to, as well as pure RPG elements such as character growth system and battles. Player character can be either a fighter, a thief, or a wizard, and can also become a paladin during the course of the game if he follows a strict moral code.</p>
<p>Real-time combat is presented on separate screens and offers more options than the previous title. There are several types of high, mid-level, and low attacks, as well as parrying and dodging. The hero raises his combat proficiency and other skills by fighting enemies, training, and performing various actions that influence the corresponding parameters.</p>

<p>Jason Youngblood is a young cadet MechWarrior stationed on the Citadel of Pacifica in the Lyran Commonwealth. Jason is training hard to become a battle mech pilot, following his renowned father Jeremiah. One day, the Citadel is attacked by the forces of the Draconis Combine from a neighboring star system. Barely escaping, Jason teams up with a member of Crescent Hawks, a special unit established by Jeremiah. Together, they must find the other members, ready to face the new threat. This will be harder for Jason than for anyone else, for he is sure that his father was among the attackers...</p>
<p><em>BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception</em> is a role-playing game based on the <em>BattleTech</em> franchise. The first part of the game is spent training in the Citadel, acquiring the game's currency and experience, and learning how to fight in battle mechs or on foot, using smaller weapons. Afterwards, the game follows a more traditional RPG structure: Jason explores Pacifica, visiting its cities, recruiting companions, and fighting enemies in turn-based combat.</p>

<p><em>V for Victory: Velikiye Luki</em> takes the series East to the Russian Front of WWII. As the German commander, you must rescue your encircled forces that are holding out at the ancient fortress town of Velikiye Luki, while protecting
 the Vitebsk - Leningrad railroad, vital to the supply of Army Group North. Or, as the Russian commander, you must take Velikiye Luki and advance to the railroad, to cut off and destroy the Fascist invaders.</p>

<p><em>Wages of War</em> is the third game in the <em>Quest for Glory</em> series. It is set in the Africa-like world of Tarna, where the hero travels with paladin Rakeesh, his new Liontaur friend he has met in the <a href="/search/?q=Quest+for+Glory+II:+Trial+by+Fire">previous game</a>. Shortly after his arrival, the hero learns about the conflict between the human Simbani tribe and the seemingly malevolent neighboring Leopardmen. It is now time for our hero to become a skillful diplomat and prevent an upcoming war between the two nations. </p>
<p>The basic gameplay system is similar to that of the two preceding games. The game has an adventure-like structure and gameplay elements, including puzzles to solve, inventory items to use, and characters to talk to, as well as a role-playing system with combat and character development. As in the predecessors, the player character can be either a fighter, a thief, or a mage; in this installment, the paladin class is selectable from the beginning of the game (unlike the previous game, where the hero could only earn the title of a paladin during the course of the story). Saved characters from the previous game can be imported.</p>
<p>Like in the earlier <em>Quest for Glory</em> games, the main character's parameters increase directly after battles or by repeatedly performing various actions. New to the series is an overworld map on which the hero travels between locations. Hostile encounters may occur randomly while traversing the map. Combat system is similar to the predecessors, with real-time battles where the player selects various offensive and defensive options. </p>
<p>Graphics engine and interface in this installment are the same as in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16075/quest-for-glory-i-so-you-want-to-be-a-hero/">remake</a> of the first game: it has 256-color graphics and an icon-based interface which was used by Sierra for their contemporary adventure games.</p>

<p>Two thousand years ago, an advanced race known as Sartan split the world into five realms. The mensch races - the humans, dwarves, and elves - were split between four of those worlds named for the four elements, and the race of Patryn was banished to the deadly Labyrinth. After those two thousand years, some of the Patryn have found their way through the Labyrinth's exit. The game's protagonist is a young Patryn named Haplo, and his mission, given to him by his lord Xar, is to sail through the Death Gate into each of the other worlds to find each world's seal piece, so that the Patryn may reconstruct the planet and have revenge on the Sartan.</p>
<p><em>Death Gate</em> is an adventure game that follows the tradition of interactive fiction with graphics. The entire game is viewed from first-person perspective and has plenty of text interaction through selectable verb commands, text descriptions, and dialogues with multiple choices. There are also many puzzles in the game, most of them inventory-based. A unique gameplay feature is Haplo's ability to cast magic spells, which are essential for solving many of the game's puzzles.</p>

<p>The Age of the Great Guilds has arrived. Communities and states comprised of people united by a common trade were created. The Guild of Weavers has achieved such mastery in their trade that they discovered the secret of weaving the very fabric of reality. They were treated with suspicion by other guilds, who eventually accused them of practicing witchcraft and banned them to a secluded island, which they called Loom.</p>
<p>Bobbin Threadbare is a young man from the Guild of Weavers. He is outcast from the guild and blamed for the lack of prosperity in recent times, though he does not know why. On his seventeenth birthday he is summoned by the Elders of the guild, who intend to decide his fate. However, shortly thereafter all the inhabitants of the village except Bobbin are turned into swans. Bobbin finds out that he is the child of the Great Loom, found by Lady Cygna, who tried to use the loom's powers to save the guild. Bobbin's stepmother Dame Hetchel teaches him the art of weaving magical drafts, and Bobbin embarks on a journey to find the lost flock, and the answers to his questions.</p>
<p><em>Loom</em> is an adventure game that sets itself apart from other titles in the genre through its unique gameplay system: the player character does not carry items around, but rather manipulates objects through the use of spells (called "drafts" in the game). The drafts themselves are woven by playing magical notes on a special instrument called "distaff". All the puzzles in the game are solved by learning and correctly applying these drafts. </p>
<p>Each draft is a sequence of four notes within one octave. The player learns new drafts by exploring the environment and interacting with it through a simple point-and-click interface. Once a draft has been learned, it may be applied in a different situation in order to solve a problem. Drafts range from simple general actions (such as opening) to more specific and complex commands, e.g. turning straw into gold. Drafts can also be "reversed", i.e. played backwards, in order to execute the opposite action (for example, closing something instead of opening). As the game progresses Bobbin learns to play higher notes on the distaff, allowing him to access more drafts.</p>
<p>The game features three difficulty levels, differentiating them by changing the way the interface works. The easiest level displays names of the notes as well as marking the correspondent areas on the distaff; Standard level features the distaff with the marks at the bottom of the screen, but no written notes; whereas Expert does not display the marks at all, requiring the player to memorize and play the drafts by ear.</p>
<p>The CD DOS version of the game has enhanced 256-color graphics, audio tracks, and full voice acting. However, it also removes a few close-up scenes and conversations. The FM Towns version preserves these scenes and includes similar graphical and musical enhancements, but has no voice acting.</p>

<p>Build a series of castles to gain dominion over all the land. You'll have to make decisions that will affect your favor with the Church, nobles, and peasants. Keep a strong military and a large workforce while watching the level of your treasury.</p>

<p>Beautiful maidens live in the river Rhine, protecting the gold that lies there. It is said that the owner of this gold will learn secrets of immense power. But in order to possess the gold, the person has to renounce love completely. Years have passed, and nobody dared make such a sacrifice. But finally, a dwarf named Alberich decided that power was worth more to him than love. He took control of the gold, and became a dark ruler of evil creatures. Will a hero ever rise, brave enough to stop the madness?..</p>
<p>Based on the popular <em>Ring of the Nibelungen</em> story (itself based on tales from the Norse mythology), <em>ICON: Quest for the Ring</em> is a "dungeon crawler" along the lines of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=temple+of+apshai">Temple of Apshai</a>, but with fully action-based combat, making it to one of the earliest action RPGs. The player navigates the hero through top-down environments heavily populated by hostile creatures. Standing near the enemy and pressing the attack button will make the protagonist swing the equipped melee weapon; ranged attacks require an additional directional key to execute. As the player progresses, defeating enemies on the way, the protagonist gains levels and becomes stronger. Various weapons and other items are scattered around the dungeons; the hero equips a weapon automatically when he finds it.</p>

<p>Following an ongoing war with the alien Ur-Quan race, the Alliance has lost. The Ur-Quan armada systematically hunts down the alliance races and imprisons them onto their homeworlds. However, unknown to the Ur-Quan, a small research vessel had been lost during the war while sent to a distant star system looking for evidence of the ancient Precursor race. The survivors of this research team had come across the controls to a Starship factory and used it to build a Precursor supply vessel, one of the largest vessels in the galaxy.</p>
<p>Upon return, the captain of the ship discovers, to his dismay, that Earth has become one of Ur-Quan's slave planets. The surface of Earth is glowing red, devoid of life, and a few humans are locked in a starbase orbiting the planet. The captain contacts the starbase commander and finds out that the only way to defeat the Ur-Quan is to convince other races populating the galaxy to join them in their struggle.</p>
<p><em>Star Control II</em> is a hybrid game based on exploration, space combat, and ship customization. Unlike its <a href="/search/?q=star+control">predecessor</a>, it has a heavily plot-driven, quest-based structure reminiscent of role-playing or adventure games. The game's main focus is on exploring a vast galaxy consisting of numerous star systems and interacting with various alien species populating it. Each species has its own personal traits and would usually require the player to exploit conversation trees or perform different tasks to convince them to join. The main objective is to gather as many allies as possible, though only a few alliances are required to complete the game. </p>
<p>While in deep space, the starship can approach any star it comes across, and then the player can guide the ship around its system and land on its planets and their moons. Space is treated as two-dimensional and presented in a top-down view. There is also a starmap available which shows the entire galaxy and allows the player to set the ship on auto-pilot to any star. </p>
<p>Throughout space are different alien civilizations. These are represented on the starmap by a sphere of influence. Within the sphere, the aliens have a controlling presence and their ships will venture freely. Outside the sphere, encounters are rarer. Aliens can be dealt with diplomatically, through a series of dialog options, or engaged in combat.</p>
<p>Alongside the main plot objective, the player also configures and upgrades his fleet in a role-playing fashion. The main starship is the Precursor vessel and it can be used to travel between star systems, which uses up fuel. Raw materials are used as currency to make purchases in the starbase. It is possible to buy fuel, as well as improve the player-controlled fleet in various ways. These include purchasing smaller ships to accompany the main one on its travels and participate in combat; hiring crew members, which effectively act as the hit points of the ships; and upgrading the main ship with enhancements that improve its speed, maneuverability, and combat efficiency. Successfully completing a quest for an alien race may also result in their combat ships joining the fleet.</p>
<p>Raw materials are found on the surfaces of planets and moons throughout the galaxy. The player has to send a landing module to the planet and then guide it around the surface as it picks up materials found earlier with a scanner. Each planet is unique in the type of minerals and metals it is formed of. Some planets are plagued by natural dangers such as lightning storms, earthquakes, or lava, which can damage or destroy landing modules. Non-sentient lifeforms can also be found and stunned to obtain biological samples. Special installations, objects, and ruins can also be found on certain planets and explored. </p>
<p>Combat is action-based and utilizes the same engine as the first game, where action is controlled from a top view and influenced by the gravity of nearby planets. Each alien vessel has unique abilities, and the player can select any ship from his fleet to participate in battles, attempting to find the best combination against specific enemies. Combat can also be played as a standalone game (melee mode), separate from the main storyline. It can also be set on a cyborg mode within the main game, allowing the computer AI to take over the battles and calculate their results depending on the attributes of the ships.</p>

<p>In <em>Laser Squad</em> you control a group of space marine-like soldiers (and the occasional cyborg). Before taking them into battle (viewed from above and progressing in turns), you must buy them weapons and armour with a predetermined amount of credits, taking into account the individual abilities of your squad. Unlike X-COM, the soldiers do not gain experience over time.  </p>
<p>The game also features a two player hotseat multiplayer option.</p>
<p>Initial ZX Spectrum release (and C64 &amp; Amstrad CPC cassette tape releases) had three missions:</p>
<ul>
<li>1: <em>The Assassins</em> - where you must face down Sterner Regnix and his guards</li>
<li>2: <em>Moonbase Assault</em> - which challenges you to destroy the OmniCorp database</li>
<li>3: <em>Rescue from the Mines</em> - eschew violence in favour of a rescue mission</li>
</ul>
<p>Two more scenarios were available via mail order, later releases by Blade Software and subsequent ports already included them:</p>
<ul>
<li>4: <em>The Cyber Hordes</em> - defend a rebel station and its seven stabilizer cores from an advancing imperial droid invasion</li>
<li>5: <em>Paradise Valley</em> - following the destruction of the stabilizer cores, escape from the colony with the device containing blueprints for advanced rebel starfighter</li>
</ul>
<p>Two additional missions were released with mail order <a href="/search/?q=Laser+Squad+Kit">expansion kit</a>.</p>

<p><em>Defender of the Crown</em> puts the player in the role of one of four Saxon knights in medieval England, in a time where the land is in turmoil as the King is dead and his crown was stolen. The Saxons and the Normans blame each other and fight for control of England.</p>
<p>After a short introduction by Robin of Locksley himself, the game starts with a single castle and 10 soldiers at your command. From there, you have to build your army, take control of additional territories and fight and defeat the three Norman lords - and sometimes your Saxon friends as well.</p>
<p>In addition to the basic 'build your army and conquer your opponents' the game offers several events and options that can be used to fine tune your play style: You may engage in a jousting contest where you have to knock your opponent off his horse, gaining either fame or land, or you can go raid a castle for loot or the hand of a princess, joining your houses and territories.</p>

<p>Legends speak somewhere in space of the mystical planet Orion. Created by the Ancients, it remains unclaimed due to a powerful Guardian that orbits the planet and keeps out intruders. These same Ancients long ago fought a war against the Antarans and banished them into another dimension. Now... long after the Ancients empire has vanished, new races take to the stars, wishing to establish their own star empires, defeat the Antarans and become... The Master of Orion.</p>
<p><em>Master of Orion II: Battle At Antares</em> is a turn-based 4x space empire game and is the sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Master+of+Orion">Master of Orion</a>, reinterpreting that game from scratch. Unlike the original the game can be played single player or with other human players. The player takes the role of a ruler of one of thirteen races, while also having the extra option of creating a custom one. They must manage planet resources to build ships and facilities, improving production. Exploration of the galaxy is done via scouts and colony ships, which can establish new planets as part of the empire. Research must also be done to discover and utilize new technologies. Alien civilizations which are encountered can be negotiated with, or ships can engage in combat in a turn-based grid system. As new systems are explored, random events are triggered and strange artifacts found in orbit around unexplored planets. Wormholes can also be found which allow transport across dozens of parsecs into new star systems.</p>
<p>The game can be won in different ways: Through conquest of all other races, Being voted supreme leader of the galaxy or destruction of the Antarans race.</p>

<p>Six ruthless dictators have collaborated to create the planet Draconia, which contains some of the most gruesome and harmful life-forms imaginable, all indulging in some rather unsavoury actions. Thus, you must go in your spaceship to destroy them all.</p>
<p>The game is a side-scrolling <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5960/r-type/">R-Type</a>-influenced shoot 'em up consisting of six visually-diverse levels. Waves of enemies come towards you to be shot, and reveal tokens, which when shot at will cycle through several available weapons. These include lasers, cannons, improved ship power and a shield.</p>

<p>This adventure game puts the player in the shoes of Rincewind, a wizard whose sole purpose in life is to stay alive. He appears to be very good at it as well, because apparently the universe has decided to continuously challenge him. The game takes place in the humorous fantasy world created by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/35747/terry-pratchett/">Terry Pratchett</a>. The world is called the Discworld, as it is actually a flat disc carried on the backs of four gigantic elephants, which themselves stand on the back of an even larger turtle.</p>
<p>The story is loosely based on the novel "Guards! Guards!". Both in the book and the game, a dragon is summoned by a group of mysterious conspirators and now terrorizes the city state of Ankh-Morpork. Being the most expendable wizard of the Unseen University, Rincewind is given the task to get rid of the beast (only in the game though; in the book, the city's nightwatch has to deal with the problem).</p>
<p><em>Discworld</em> is a classical point-and-click adventure game with a few original features. For example, Rincewind's inventory is limited to two objects, and the majority of his belongings is stored in the Luggage, an intelligent chest with dozens of little feet. Furthermore, at a certain point in the game the player gains access to a time-traveling device and has to send Rincewind to the past and back in order to solve some of the puzzles.</p>

<p>This add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/158/test-drive-iii-the-passion/">Test Drive III</a> lets you drive the Acura NSX and Dodge Stealth RT Turbo, in New England territory including Cape Cod and Niagra Falls.</p>

<p><em>Space Quest 1: Roger Wilco in the Sarien Encounter</em> is a remake of the original release of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/114/space-quest-chapter-i-the-sarien-encounter/"> Space Quest: Chapter I - The Sarien Encounter</a>. The new version has enhanced graphics (256 color VGA) and soundblaster support. It uses the SCI game engine (point-and-click interface, icons along the top) rather than the AGI engine (mixed point-and-click with text parser). Some of the puzzles have been slightly changed to accommodate the new interface and it is also possible to skip the arcade part. There are a few additional scenes and more elaborate text descriptions, mostly enhancing the humorous effect.</p>

<p><em>The Ancient Art of War at Sea</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23/the-ancient-art-of-war/">the Ancient Art of War</a>, where the battle campaigns now takes place in the vast oceans of naval combat.</p>
<p>The game is a top-down semi real-time strategy game. The game has different speed/time settings (slower to faster), hence the player may manage strategies while remaining in real-time mode. As its predecessor, the game comes with different difficulty settings, symbolized by several famous naval commanders and also comes with a game editor.</p>
<p><strong>Ship Types</strong>  </p>
<p>As its predecessor, the game introduces three different types of units in the game:  </p>
<ol>
<li>The frigate, small but fastest ship in the fleet.</li>
<li>The ship-of-the-line, the primary battleship in the fleet.</li>
<li>The flagship, well armed but slow. Flagships are the moving strategic flags that need to be captured in order to win the game.</li>
</ol>
<p>The aim of the game is to capture all the enemy flagships while protecting flagships under the player's control. As added difficulty, new ships cannot be built, however enemy ships may be captured by boarding them.</p>
<p><strong>Main Map</strong>  </p>
<p>The main map provides information regarding friendly and enemy unit location, ports, and certain waters that may cause damage to ships that cross it. Reparations and supplies may be obtained in the many ports provided on the main map. Whether or not supplies or reparations may take place depend on the options or rules provided on the scenario setting.</p>
<p>Certain types of waters may be dangerous for ships to sail across. There are two different types of waters: shallow waters and dangerous waters. The larger the ship, usually the more damage they take when they cross those seas. This however also depends on the options or rules provided on the scenario setting.</p>
<p><strong>Combat</strong>  </p>
<p>Sea combat enters a top down tactical map, where the player can control several ships at once. During sea combat, the aim of the game is to sink the opposing fleet by firing cannons or by boarding and capturing the ship.</p>
<p>When to ships collide with each other, the combat screen enters the boarding screen. There are two different units provided when boarding: swordsmen (pirates with cutlasses, for melee) and musketeers (ranged combat). The winner is the last man standing. Certain ports provide different type of pirate units, however this is not explicitly mentioned within the game.</p>

<p>The ancient demon Jashiin has slept for two thousand years. When he awakens, he directs his wrath towards the kingdom of Zeliard, whose rulers of yore have allegedly harmed him. For 115 days, a sand rain devastates the kingdom, turning it into a desert. To complete his cruel revenge, Jashiin turns Felicia, the princess of Zeliard, into a stone. The valiant Duke Garland sets out on a quest to vanquish the demon and restore the princess to her true form. To do that, he must collect the Nine Tears of Esmesanti, which alone can reverse the terrible curse.</p>
<p><em>Zeliard</em> is a side-scrolling action game with platforming and role-playing elements. The game world is divided into hostile labyrinths, which occupy its largest portion and contain maze-like passages for Duke Garland to traverse, as well as enemies that must be dealt with. Crests and keys must often be collected in order to ensure the progress to the next area. Garland takes damage from enemy attacks as well as the environment (hidden spikes, high temperature, etc.), but suffers no damage should he fall off a platform.</p>
<p>The hero uses his sword to combat the enemies, and shield to defend himself. He can also learn and cast projectile offensive magic. Special items can restore his health, increase the damage inflicted with the sword, grant additional protection, etc. Various types of clothes can be equipped; these can bestow the hero with further enhancements and immunities, such as prevent him from slipping on ice, allow him to jump higher, etc.</p>
<p>The Duke will visit different towns during his journey. In these towns, he can rest, replenishing his health, purchase and repair weapons and armor, acquire potions, and learn magic spells. Currency is obtained by exchanging enemy spirits for gold in banks. These spirits (called "almas") also serve as experience points: after the player has obtained a sufficient amount of them, the protagonist receives upgrades to his health and magic points from a local town sage.</p>

<p>The late martial arts hero features in this platform game, with the aim of reaching a wizard in an underground lair, defeat of whom can offer him untold wealth. </p>
<p>In each area you must collect the many strategically-placed lanterns before exiting through the newly-revealed passageway. Some rooms also have escalator-type sections to run along, and the standard (although slightly illogical in this context) ladders.  There are 20 areas to be completed.</p>
<p>On the way, you'll fight two enemies - a ninja and a green sumo warrior named Yamo. You can defeat them by punching, kicking, dropping on their heads or luring them into hazardous terrain, or even by making them accidentally hit each other. Even after they are killed, however, they keep coming back for more after a few seconds. The game also allows a second player to take control of Yamo.</p>
<p>There are lots of hazards to avoid by either walking round or jumping - walls of electrical charge and exploding bushes for example.</p>

<p>Pilot a starfighter on a variety of missions, from locating lost artifacts to destroying the enemy, in this early 1st-person shooter in space.</p>

<p>The Blues Brothers are on the run from the law. Take control of either bulky Jake or nippy Elwood in this five-level platform game. You must cross a prison, a river and the big city to reach freedom. You also must find your missing records and collect these. Everything and everyone is against you, but you can pick up and throw warehouse crates to defeat your opponents.</p>

<p>Based on the Disney movie of the same name, <em>The Black Cauldron</em> focuses on the story of Taran, who is an assistant Pig-keeper in the land of Caer Dalben. One day Taran notices that one of his pigs, Hen Wen has magical powers. The Evil Horned King wants the pig so that he can locate the Black Cauldron and ultimately rule the world. Taran must now embark on a mission to rescue Hen Wen and defeat the Evil Horned King before he can discover the Cauldron's location.</p>
<p><em>The Black Cauldron</em> is a side-view adventure game. Gameplay is similar to other Sierra adventure games of its day (such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Space+Quest+II">Space Quest II</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=King's+Quest+III">King's Quest III</a>) but does not use a text parser. Instead the function keys are used to initiate actions. Players control Taran and can make him walk, run, swim and interact (talk) with other characters in the game. Puzzle-solving and advancement in the plot requires item manipulation of using the right item at the right time or at the right location.</p>

<p>Guide Dave through ten terrifying levels as he tries to reclaim his trophies from a deserted pirate's hideout!  This is a standard platform run and jump game although with only 10 levels it's meant to be more difficult than the usual.</p>
<p>This game is in 16-color double-res mode on the Apple II and is essentially the same as the original Apple II hi-res version titled "Dangerous Dave in the Deserted Pirate's Hideout".</p>

<p>While the Sultan of Persia is fighting a war in a foreign country, his Grand Vizier Jaffar orchestrates a coup d'état. His way to the throne lies through the Sultan's lovely daughter. Jaffar kidnaps her and threatens to kill her if she refuses to marry him. Meanwhile, the man the Princess loves is thrown into the dungeon. He has only one hour to escape from his prison, defeat the guards on his way, and stop Jaffar before the terrible marriage takes place.</p>
<p><em>Prince of Persia</em> is a 2D platformer that is commonly regarded as a progenitor of the cinematic platformer genre. Rather than following the more common jump-and-run mechanics, it focuses on careful advancement through fairly complex levels, emphasizing the protagonist's vulnerability and survival aspect. Rotoscoping technique is used to give more realism to the animation of the characters' movements.</p>
<p>The protagonist must avoid deadly traps, solve some simple jumping and environmental puzzles (such as stepping on pressure plates to raise portcullis), and engage in sword fights with the guards. The player character has an infinite amount of lives, but has to restart at the beginning of a level each time he dies, and must complete the game within an hour. The hero starts with three units of health, which can be replenished with small health potions or permanently increased with large jars.</p>
<p>The Game Boy Color and SNES versions of the game feature additional levels and new enemies. The Genesis version has a new intro, an altered set of graphics and four new levels.</p>

<p>A remake of the classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Paratrooper">Paratrooper</a>. Kill all of the paratroopers before they reach the ground--and your turret.</p>

<p><em>Golden Axe</em> is an arcade beat-'em-up game that puts players in the shoes of one of three heroes, each with his own reason for trying to overthrow the evil rule of Death-Adder, who - along with his forces of darkness - kidnapped and imprisoned the King and his daughter and stole the legendary Golden Axe.</p>
<p>This is a horizontal fighting game, where you basically take one of the three characters (the barbarian Ax Battler, a dwarf named Gilius Thunderhead or the amazon Tyris Flare) and bash everything which stands between you and Death Adder himself. Each character has a special magical ability that can be charged by kicking small blue creatures that drop a potion. There is also a green variety off this creature that drops food that replenishes your health. Some enemies ride dragons and a scorpion like creature. The enemies can be knocked off and you can mount the creature yourself and attack the enemies with it.</p>
<p>The game allows to play up to two players on a same screen, however in the C64 version this option has not been implemented. C64 version was also stripped off in the other areas, such as: only one enemy can engage the player at a time or there are only two types of dragons instead of three.</p>

<p>The plot of <em>Master of Magic</em> is to become the dominant wizard on two 'planes' of existence, the normal Earth-like one and the fantasy based plane "Myrror". You can do this by destroying your competing wizards (up to 4 computer players) or by casting the Spell of Mastery.</p>
<p>Game play is carried out in a 2D top down perspective. You move your armies around the board, fighting monsters to get treasure, and more importantly 'nodes'. Once you control a node you can summon a spirit to meld with the node and gain mana from it. You also must build up your cities so you can support and train your army. City management is very much like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/78026/civilization/">Civilization</a>. You also must allocate your mana for use, or research. You must research to learn new spells. You can do battle with the enemy in a quasi-isometric perspective or you can have the game simulate the battles. </p>
<p>The game ends when your home tower is destroyed; you banish all the other wizards (by destroying their home tower) or someone casts the Spell of Mastery.</p>

<p><em>Afterlife</em> is is a humorous strategy game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/848/simcity/">SimCity</a> where the afterlife is subject to market-based economy. The player has to make it work by managing heaven and hell simultaneously.</p>
<p>In both hell and heaven the player constructs zones which deal with one of the seven capital sins respectively the corresponding virtues. Through the gates new souls arrive regularly which were sinful or virtues in one specific aspect. These go to the appropriate zones to receive their gifts or punishment - but only if the player constructed a street system. If there is no place left they wander through hell/heaven which is of course bad for business. After some time they get sent back to the home planet. These souls are the source of the player's income. </p>
<p>Of course these facilities also need personnel. These can be either hired or trained by building special training facilities. There are also additional things the player has to keep in mind, e.g. the satisfaction of each soul and the energy supply. Every buildings has to be micro-managed by adjusting their settings but there is also the possibility to use a tool which does it automatically - for a price. </p>
<p>Random disasters like "Birds of Paradise" (excrement rain down on the facilities) break the economic circle and challenge the player to repair the damage. Besides the free playing mode there are also five scenarios where the player has to solve certain tasks.</p>

<p><em>Mad Mix</em> is a Pac-Man variant, with a typical bird's eye view for each level and pellets you must eat in order to get to the next stages. Navigate the maze you're trapped in and gobble up food while trying to avoid the ghosts that are chasing you.</p>
<p>As a Pac-Man variant, there are some changes made to distinguish itself. Some levels offer transformative powers. These include being turned into a hippopotamus - which allows you to step on ghosts - and a vacuum cleaner - to clean up pellets corrupted by a wandering enemy. On some levels, you can also briefly turn the protagonist into a spaceship or a tank, where you can shoot ghosts from a fixed vantage point.</p>
<p>As with most arcade titles at the time, there is no true ending; the game loops back to the first level when you finish the last one.</p>

<p><em>Popcorn</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Breakout"> Breakout</a>-style game. The goal is to destroy bricks with a ball that bounces off a paddle the player controls. The layout of the bricks is different in each level. Some bricks are indestructible, forming areas that can "trap" your ball or force it to bounce off in a sharp movement, making it more difficult to hit it with the paddle. Other bricks take several hits to break. There are also enemies which float around the bricks and will deliberately redirect the ball. The player has a certain amount of lives; each time the player lets the ball fall off the screen, a life is lost.</p>
<p>There is a variety of upgrades (letters that fall down when the player breaks certain bricks) to use in this game. Those upgrades are:* E - The paddle is extended</p>
<ul>
<li>L - The paddle can shoot lasers at bricks and enemies</li>
<li>C - Glue is poured over the paddle, allowing the player to catch it</li>
<li>T - A ball will split into three. This happens even if you already have three balls onscreen.</li>
<li>V - The player gains an extra life</li>
<li>S - The ball slows down</li>
<li>M - All the enemies stop their movement</li>
<li>F - A floor appears that prevents the ball from falling off the screen</li>
<li>I - The ball impacts an invisible wall, sending it into the opposite direction</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>The player is immediately transported to the next level</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>R - Any power-ups the player has are removed.</li>
</ul>
<p>An editor is included which allows the player to create their own levels.</p>

<p><em>Star Control</em> is a science-fiction wargame which pits the forces of the Alliance of Free Stars against those of the predatory Ur-Quan Hierarchy. The games are designed so that you can ease into play, familiarizing yourself with menus, options and player controls. The Alliance and Hierarchy each possess different types of warships. Each vessel has its own maneuvering and firing characteristics, plus a unique special power that you can employ when circumstances dictate.</p>
<p>The game has two modules: the Melee, in which you can simply blast the computer or another player to smithereens using one of 16 different ships, in either Hierarchy or Alliance fleets; or, should you wish for a more challenging game, lets you play one of 9 preset scenarios.</p>

<p>In <em>Nuclear War</em> you have to blow the opposition to smithereens - you have four opposing factions. You can either drop the bomb on them using a bomber, fire a missile, or try to lure their population using propaganda.</p>
<p>Ocassionally a random event occurs, for example aliens would land on one of the factions and the population suddenly grows, or someone throws cows at the opposition, causing a major stampede and killing millions.</p>

<p>This game, despite its cheesy name, is one of the cutest shoot-'em-up style games ever made for the PC. There's not much to tell about the game, simply because it's very straightforward. You take the role of a lone starship pilot, who happens to encounter the "Dreaded Space Bats of Doom" on a routine assignment in outer space, and are all that stands between them and the invasion of Earth.</p>
<p>The game consists of 66 stages, arranged in some sort of pattern (for example, every type of bats you encounter takes 3 stages to pass, each of three introducing new challenges). Once every several bats you kill you get one of four bonuses - purple gems, 6 of which grant you another life, a green gem which makes your missiles faster, a red one which gives you additional missiles per round, or a white gem which grants you a time-limited "hyper" mode.</p>
<p>The game is very addictive and challenging, and the cliche' name/plot makes it a refreshing change from all the typical Space Invaders clones...</p>

<p>A traditional space shooter involving 42 rounds of battle against invading alien ships (hence the name).  Each round of aliens has different movement and firing patterns.  </p>
<p>Against such odds, you are provided with two weapons:  An auto-fire cannon, and a single-fire targeting laser.  Extra ships and shots for the targeting laser are earned one per successful completion of a round (the auto-fire cannon has unlimited ammo).</p>

<p>Guide a team of up to six soldiers through 72 levels of combat in this top-down action/strategy hybrid, best thought of as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=5016597004326">Lemmings</a> crossed with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=5012189081553">Commando</a> crossed with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=5013715077965">Dune 2</a>. The characters are controlled indirectly using the mouse or joypad, as you activate each soldier or group of them by highlighting them, clicking one button to move them to a particular spot and the another for them to fire guns at an enemy. You can also pick up grenades or rockets, fired by pressing both buttons at once, which can be used to destroy groups of enemies, buildings, or some vehicles.</p>
<p>Each mission has a specific objective, and some feature vehicles such as tanks that are used to make things easier. Your troops can cross water but can't shoot within it, so finding and controlling bridges is often crucial. You can use the arrangement of trees to find hiding places to shoot from and should watch out for CPU soldiers doing the same.</p>

<p>In the international edition of <a href="/search/?q=Lagaf">Lagaf: Les Aventures de Moktar - Vol 1: La Zoubida</a>, you play Titus' fox mascot. His beloved Suzy has been kidnapped on the other side of the Sahara desert, and to get her back he has to advance through 15 levels (with codes for each one) comprising of nearly 1000 screens of platform gameplay, scrolling in 8 directions. </p>
<p>There are secret rooms to find, and bosses at the end of each level. The player can also interact with many parts of the background. Using available objects such as springs and crates correctly is often vital to progress. Alternate modes of transport such as Magic Carpets and Skateboards also make an appearance.</p>

<p><em>Master of Orion</em> overlaps with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/78026/civilization/">Civilization</a> insofar as you are the leader of one of several races. Technological advance, realm expansion and combat are all key elements. Where it differs is in being set in space.</p>
<p>The planet Orion itself is a lush, fertile planet with vast mineral resources. It is guarded by the Guardian - a powerful vessel which you have to defeat in order to plunder Orion's riches.</p>
<p>As you attempt to expand your empire, you will have to trade and steal technologies form rivals, again much like <em>Civ</em>. Your ships can be improved over the game, in terms of engine power, shields, cloaking devices and weapons, and different combinations of these can be integrated. Resource management is largely set using sliders, which reduces the amount of time spent on micro-management.</p>

<p>Starting as a young Roman legionnaire in 275BC, your job is to conquer the known world through force or diplomacy, fighting on land and sea. </p>
<p><em>Centurion: Defender of Rome</em> is a turn-based strategy game. You start with one province, Rome, and one legion. To complete the game, you have to conquer all the provinces on the map. </p>
<p>One part of the game is micro-managing your provinces. You set up tax rates and make people happy by organizing games. In Rome, you can organize a chariot race, a gladiatorial combat or even a simulated naval battle; this starts an action mini-game where you control the chariot rider, gladiator or ship. </p>
<p>Another part of the game is military conquest. You can raise legions or strengthen them in any province you control (let's just hope there are enough men in the province, or your legion will be incomplete and weaker). There are three types of legions, each of them has a different strength. You can also move a legion to a neighbouring province. </p>
<p>When you enter a province you don't yet control, you can speak with the ruler there. With luck, you can convince him to give you the province for free; but this isn't very likely, and you'll often have to fight. </p>
<p>When your legion attacks a province, or defends one of your provinces from an invader, the game switches to an isometric view of the battlefield. You can give orders to your legion (assuming they are within the range of their commander's voice) and watch as they duke it out with the enemy forces. Eventually, one of the sides will be completely wiped out or panic and retreat. </p>
<p>Finally, you can buy warships and have naval battles with the enemy fleet. This is represented as an action mini-game, depicting a duel of the flagships; however, the outcome of the battle actually depends on the strength of your fleet.</p>

<p>Take on the life of a buccaneer in the golden age of Caribbean Piracy! This game lets you choose from 6 different "ages" (for example, "The Silver Empire" from 1560-1600, "War For Profit" from 1640-1660, etc.), one of 4 nationalities (English, French, Dutch, Spanish), 4 difficulty levels, and one of 5 special abilities (skill at fencing, skill at navigation, etc.). Nine different types of ships were represented. </p>
<p>The goal of the game is to retire with as much gold and land as possible, as many ranks/titles as possible (Colonel, Admiral, Marquis, Duke), and a wife. Finding long lost relatives helps too. You accomplish these goals by plundering cities, capturing and sinking enemy ships, getting in good with governors to receive titles, learn news of "evil Spaniards" holding your relatives, capturing evil pirates, etc.  </p>
<p>The game is educational, as you will learn about piracy through the thoroughly researched manual. You'll smell the sea salt as you participate in wild sword fights, desperate sea battles, and daring attacks by land.</p>

<p>Billy "Commander Keen" Blaze, an eight-year-old genius, has flied to Mars in his Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket build out of common household objects. But while Keen was exploring Mars, the alien Vorticons stole vital parts from his ship and hid them in the Martian cities. Now Keen must find the stolen parts if he wants to return to Earth. </p>
<p><em>Commander Keen 1: Marooned on Mars</em> is the first in a series of platform games. Your objective is to find the 4 missing parts to your ship. </p>
<p>The game begins with a top-down map of Mars. This is the level select screen, where you can walk around and choose the next level you want to enter. On each level, you have to find the exit, and possibly grab a missing rocket part which may be on the level. Once you reach the exit, you're back on the map of Mars. </p>
<p>The levels are typically full of enemy creatures. Most numerous are Yorps, which are mostly harmless, if annoying, but other creatures are a genuine danger. If Keen gets shot or touched, or falls into a pit or some hazardous object, he dies, and you're booted out of the level back to the map of Mars and lose one of the lives. </p>
<p>Thankfully, Keen can defeat some of the enemies with his raygun. He can also find a pogo stick which allows him to jump very high. Other items to find include keycards that open locked doors and bonus items which give score (Keen gets an extra life if he collects enough score).</p>

<p><em>Commander Keen 2: The Earth Explodes</em> is the second game in the first trilogy of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/32/commander-keen-series/">Commander Keen</a> platform games, called <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/81270/commander-keen-invasion-of-the-vorticons/">Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons</a>.</p>
<p>In this episode a Vorticon Mothership is poised above Earth, preparing to destroy the planet with their deadly Tantalus Rays! Commander Keen's mission is to stop these evil Vorticons from blowing up the Earth. In order to do this you need to find and destroy each X-14 Tantalus Ray, powered by cells from the big purple Space Amoeba. </p>
<p>The game begins with a top-down map of the mothership. This is the level select screen, where you can walk around and choose the next level you want to enter. On each level, you have to find the exit; if this is one of the levels with a Tantalus Ray, you've got to destroy the Ray before exiting. Once you reach the exit, you're back on the map of the mothership. </p>
<p>The levels are typically full of enemy creatures and hazards. If Keen gets shot or touched, or falls into a pit or hazard, he dies, and you're booted out of the level back to the overhead map and lose one life. </p>
<p>Thankfully, Keen can defeat some of the enemies with his raygun. He also has a pogo stick which allows him to jump very high. Other items to find include keycards that open locked doors and bonus items which give score (Keen gets an extra life if he collects enough score).</p>

<p>Commander Keen has already foiled the Vorticons' plans to destroy Earth. Now he heads to their home planet in order to confront the Grand Intellect: a mysterious leader who enslaved all the Vorticons and forced them to carry out his evil deeds. But before Keen reaches him, he must get through numerous Vorticon cities whose mind-controlled residents all received one order from the Grand Intellect: "Keen must die!"</p>
<p><em>Commander Keen 3: Keen Must Die!</em> is the third in a series of platform games. The game begins with a top-down map of the Vorticon planet. This is the level select screen, where you can walk around and choose the next level you want to enter. On each level, you have to make your way to the exit. Once you reach the exit, you're back on the overhead map. </p>
<p>The levels are typically full of enemy creatures (mainly various types of Vorticons) and hazards. If Keen gets shot or touched by an enemy, or falls into a pit or something hazardous, he dies, and you're booted out of the level back to the overhead map and lose one life. </p>
<p>Thankfully, Keen can defeat most enemies with his raygun. He also has a pogo stick which allows him to jump very high. Other items to find include keycards that open locked doors, bonus items which give score (Keen gets an extra life if he collects enough score) and the Ankh, which gives temporary invulnerability.</p>

<p><em>Commander Keen 4: Secret of the Oracle</em> is a platform game, the fourth in the <em>Commander Keen</em> series as a whole, and the first in the second series <em>Goodbye, Galaxy</em>.</p>
<p>Eight-year-old genius Billy "Commander Keen" Blaze receives an interstellar transmission while working on a Photachyon Transceiver (a radio that can receive signals anywhere in the galaxy). While the transmission is choppy, Billy manages to figure out that the galaxy is once again in danger from an alien race known as Shikadi. In order to get more information about this threat, he sets out to consult the Oracle. But it turns out that the eight Council Members necessary for the Oracle's activation have been kidnapped by the Shikadi and imprisoned in the dangerous Shadowlands. Billy heads out to save the Council Members. </p>
<p>The game begins with a top-down map of the Shadowlands. This is the level select screen, where Billy can walk around and the player can choose the next level they want to enter (though some of the levels are islands located on a lake and require you to find a wetsuit if you want to reach them). On each level, Billy has to make his way to the exit. Once a level is completed, Billy ends up back on the overhead map. </p>
<p>The levels are typically full of enemy creatures, such as poison slugs, deadly mosquitoes or hopping crazy mushrooms. There are also many hazards - pits, cannons, spears. If Billy gets shot or touched by an enemy, or falls into a pit or touches something hazardous, he dies and loses one life. </p>
<p>Thankfully, Keen can stun most enemies with his raygun, although some cannot be stunned at all, and some are only stunned for a few seconds. Keen also carries a pogo stick which allows him to jump very high. Other items to find include: ammo, gems that acts as keys to open locked doors, bonus items which give score, raindrops (100 raindrops give extra life) and the rare Lifewater Flask which gives an extra life.</p>

<p>Eight-year-old genius Billy "Commander Keen" Blaze, having learnt about the alien Shikadi's plans to destroy the galaxy, arrives on board of their ship, the Omegamatic, in order to destroy it and prevent the evil deed. The objective is to reach and destroy the core of the Omegamatic, but before this happens, Billy must find and destroy four machines which protect the main elevator. </p>
<p>The game begins with a top-down map of the Omegamatic. This is the level select screen, where Billy can walk around and the player can choose the next level they want to enter. On each level, Billy has to either make your way to the exit, or destroy a vital machine if there is one on this level. Once a level is completed, Billy ends up back on the overhead map. </p>
<p>The levels are full of enemies, mostly robots of various kinds. There are also many deadly hazards. If Keen gets shot or touched by an enemy, or falls into a pit or touches something hazardous, he dies and loses one life. </p>
<p>Thankfully, Keen can stun most enemies with his raygun. He also carries a pogo stick which allows him to jump very high. Other items to find include: ammo, gems and keycards that are needed to open locked doors, bonus items which give score, jars of "Vitalin" (100 of them give an extra life) and the rare Keg O' Vitalin which gives an extra life.</p>

<p>Private detective Tex Murphy is hired to investigate the murder of a university professor. It turns out that he was one of eight scientists involved in Project Overlord, a mission to remotely control people. Tex soon learns of the deaths of other related figures. Suspects may include the British intelligence head, a surveillance company owner, and the professor's daughter.</p>
<p>Tex's first adventure takes the player through the seedy West Coast world of 2033, a setting that combines futuristic elements with film noir and "hardboiled" detective fiction styles. The game's main adventure portions are icon-driven, with object puzzles less significant than detective deduction and character interaction. Characters are represented by digitized photos.</p>
<p><em>Mean Streets</em> features dozens of characters to interact with by asking questions or offering bribes. Fights often arise, but a diplomatic approach is more successful with characters whose guilt is unproven. Although it is largely an adventure game, travel between cities involves piloting Tex's Lotus Speeder in a flight simulation section. The game also contains side-scrolling action sequences where Tex has to eliminate a number of enemies before being able to proceed to the destination.</p>

<p><em>Martian Memorandum</em> is the sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Mean+Streets">Mean Streets</a>. Six years have found the private investigator Tex Murphy broke, down on his luck, and seriously in need of a new case. He gets a call from Marshall Alexander, a business tycoon who owns most of the industry on Mars. It seems his daughter Alexis has run away from home, and taken "something else" with her. Marshall won't say what that something else is, but he is willing to pay handsomely to get it (and his daughter) back.</p>
<p>Unlike its predecessor, the game contains only adventure gameplay, removing flight simulation and action sequences. Basic gameplay mechanics are very similar to those of the first game, placing interrogation and choices above object-based puzzles. Verb commands are used to interact with the environment, while interrogating suspects usually involves selecting conversation options. Making a wrong choice may sometimes prematurely end the game or render it unwinnable.</p>

<p>A devastating nuclear war had wiped out almost the entire population of the Earth. The civilization, as we know it, has been destroyed. The Earth has become a huge wasteland populated by mutated creatures. Only small number of humans survived and they formed communities living on the surface, where they mostly scavenge what remains from the pre-war civilization. Some lucky people managed to reach safety of the Vaults, huge underground dwellings, during the war. Recently, the water purification controller chip in Vault 13 broke. Without clean water, the people of the Vault cannot survive. One person is sent to find a replacement chip and ventures outside to face a dangerous world, hoping to return within a hundred and fifty days.</p>
<p><em>Fallout</em> is a role-playing game that utilizes a character development system called S.P.E.C.I.A.L., an acronym formed from the first letters of the game's basic character attributes: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. In addition to having these attributes, the protagonist can also learn and improve skills, as well as acquire traits and perks. </p>
<p>Skill points are awarded when the player character levels up; traits are assigned during character creation, while perks are obtained every three character levels. There are eighteen different skills in the game, divided into combat, active, and passive categories. Combat skills include weapon proficiencies (e.g. small and big guns, melee, etc.); active skills are used for support or interacting with the environment (doctor, lockpick, science, steal, and others); passive skills are mainly dedicated to social interaction (barter, speech, gambling, and so on). Traits bestow various benefits upon the character while also imposing penalties; in contrast, perks are purely beneficial. By developing and customizing attributes, skills, traits and perks, the player is granted a considerable freedom in shaping the protagonist in his combat-related and social behavior. </p>
<p>The game has an open world which can be freely explored from the onset. Only a few quests are required to complete in order to advance the main plot; a vast amount of side quests is available. Thanks to the game's emphasis on social interaction, many problems can be solved in a non-violent way; in fact, it is possible to complete the game without engaging in battles at all, running away from enemy encounters and concluding the final confrontation in a relatively peaceful fashion. Conversely, the player can opt for a destructive path, killing everyone in sight. A Karma system is used to track the player's moral decisions during the game.</p>
<p>Combat in <em>Fallout</em> is turn-based. Participants have a limited amount of action points (AP) per turn; each action (including movement) depletes a certain number of AP, eventually ending a character's turn. The player can target specific body parts of enemies during battles. Characters may join the protagonist, traveling together and participating in combat as a party. Though the player may assign general commands to the companions, their actions are controlled by the AI, and they cannot be customized.</p>

<p>GATO is a real-time 3D submarine simulation game, where the player is a commander of a United States submarine in the Pacific Ocean during World War II against Japanese warships. Gameplay consists of missions where the primary directive is to navigate the submarine to track and intercept (multiple) enemy warships (patrol boats, destroyers, etc.) on the randomly created map (which consists of randomly placed islands) and close in for the kill with torpedoes.</p>
<p>Combat itself consists of a direct visual of enemy ships (via periscope) and firing torpedoes at the correct angle to ultimately sink the ship. Be warned that although the player has the element of surprise of a submerged vessel, enemy ships will return fire. When all hell breaks loose, a disclosed submarine is a sitting duck to Japanese guns. Be prepared to direct the damage control team to fix up the damaged submarine when under fire. The mission ends when the player has successfully eliminated all targets on the map.</p>

<p>Fly as an American or Japanese pilot in one of 4 operations in the Pacific Theatre during WWII. This simulation can also qualify as educational software because the manual features tons of historical information. Twelve aircraft (including variants) and about 20 types of ships are represented. First of the Lucasfilm/Lawrence Holland WWII air combat trilogy.</p>

<p>The second of Lucasfilm Games' air combat simulations and follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/226/battlehawks-1942/">Battlehawks 1942</a>, <em>Their Finest Hour</em> recreates the Battle of Britain during WWII in the summer of 1940.</p>
<p>Players can fly both for the German Luftwaffe and the British Royal Air Force.</p>
<p>On the British side, two planes are available: the Spitfire and the Hurricane. For the Germans, there is the fighter Bf 109, the heavy fighter/fighter bomber Bf 110, the infamous Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber, and the three light/medium bombers Do 17, He 111 and Ju 88.</p>
<p>Next to training missions for every plane, there are several historical combat missions to be flown. In accordance with history, most RAF missions consist of defense assignments - intercepting and destroying German bombers. Most Luftwaffe missions are attack runs - either flying the bomber escort or the bombers themselves. In the heavier planes, not only can the pilot of the plane be controlled, but also the gunner(s), and, in the bombers, the bombardier.</p>
<p>The special Campaign Mode allows one to actually change the historical outcome of the Battle of Britain. On a strategic map, planes must be organized into groups and assigned to missions, one of which must be flown. The outcome of that mission affects those of all others and also the status of the overall campaign. The British side wins by simply surviving for a certain time or by destroying enough German aircraft. The German side wins by destroying enough RAF fighters, either in the air or on the ground.</p>
<p>Also included in the game is a mission builder for designing custom missions, and a film playback option for reviewing recorded flight footage.</p>

<p>Fly as an American or German pilot in the years 1943-1945 in this WWII air combat simulation. This game features several experimental German aircraft to try out. Can you alter the outcome of WWII with them? The experimental German planes include Messerschmitt 262, Me163 Komet rocket plane, and the Gotha "flying wing". You can also fly the traditional ME109 or FW190 piston engine aircraft.</p>
<p>As for the American side, you can take to the skies in the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, or the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. In the B-17, you can not only control the plane itself, but also the gun turrets and the bombing sight.</p>
<p>Next to training missions for each aircraft, there are several historical missions available, recreating real air encounters of the war.</p>
<p>The Tour of Duty mode allows you to take your pilot through a set number of missions, gaining promotions and medals, with the ultimate goal of surviving the tour.</p>
<p>Finally, there's the strategic campaign mode where you can fight the whole war from either side, both planning and flying missions. As the Americans, the objective is to cripple Germany's industry through strategic bombardment. As the Germans, you have to survive by keeping the industry alive. As time passes, new aircraft become available, in accordance with history. For instance, the Mustang was not deployed until late 1943. For the German side, the jet and rocket aircraft have to be researched before they can be built. The German side can also build V1 and V2 missiles. Another option is to let industrial branches work in secret to hinder the American bombing efforts.</p>
<p>Other interesting features are a mission editor and a film playback option.</p>

<p><em>BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Revenge</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/170/battletech-the-crescent-hawks-inception/">BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception</a>. It is the year 3029 during the Succession Wars; as the nineteen-year-old Mechwarrior Jason Youngblood of the Lyran Commonwealth (House Steiner), it is time to strike back at the treacherous forces of the Draconis Combine (House Kurita), who captured Jason's father in the original <em>BattleTech</em>, and whom he has sworn to rescue.</p>
<p>Unlike its predecessor, the game inclines more towards RTS (real-time strategy) than role-playing gameplay style. The player will lead the forces of 31st Century BattleMechs (Warrior Robots) in a daring mission of rescue and revenge. The game consists of two parts - the storyline, which gives the player guidance and direction, and changes with the outcome of every decision made; and the scenarios, which are the arenas where the player watches his/her maneuvers unfold in real time. The game has digital speech and a technically advanced musical score.</p>

<p><em>One Must Fall 2097</em> is a fighting game with a twist. Instead of the usual <a href="/search/?q=Street+Fighter+II">Street Fighter II</a> trend of games, in this game you play one of 10 characters controlling one of 10 huge robots in a fighting match.</p>
<p>According to the game, in the year 2097, the human race is controlled by one company known as W.A.R., which started as a small company providing the Earth government with construction robots. After a while W.A.R. grew further and further and eventually took over Earth Gov.</p>
<p>In the year 2097, W.A.R. decided to colonize Ganymede, one of Jupiter's moons. Because of the harsh climate and difficult terrain, they sought for one person, the best of the best, to rule Ganymede for them. They've decided the best way to choose this person is to organize a huge contest, in which the winner will earn a seat in the W.A.R. high counsel and control of Ganymede.</p>
<p>You're one of the contestants, and you want to win.</p>

<p>Major Stryker is another of Apogee's attempts to make a commercial-level shareware game. It's a rather typical shoot-'em-up vertical scroller with EGA graphics.</p>

<p>The CIA has learned that gigantic mutants are wreaking havoc in Metro City and their sources say that the destruction is caused by a scientist calling himself Dr. Mangle. For this reason, they send Snake Logan, the CIA's top secret agent, on a dangerous mission: fly over Metro City, investigate what’s going on, then report back to the captain. Unfortunately, Snake’s plane is shot down, forcing Snake to walk the streets and kill mutants.</p>
<p>There are three episodes in this game: In “Dr. Mangle's Lab” and “The Hidden Lab”, Snake must destroy two labs and Dr. Mangle himself. Just before he dies, Mangle tells him that he is forced by somebody known as Master Cain to do his bidding, or he would be killed, so in “Master Cain”, Snake sets out and destroy the creator himself.</p>
<p>All three episodes use the <em>Commander Keen</em> engine, which <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/id-software-inc">id Software</a> used. It has a similar score box located at the top-left of the action screen, same menu system, same on-line help, and the same start-up screen where the game detects your sound card, video card, I/O devices, and the amount of memory you have. It even allows you to view the old status screen if you press [Space] during gameplay.</p>
<p>But the only differences are that Snake has eight units of health, so each time Snake collides with a mutant, he doesn’t get killed straight away unless he had one unit left. There are 12 levels in each episode. When you start a new game, as well as choosing the three difficulty modes, you get to practice every level except the very last one, which is the episode’s final boss.</p>
<p>Snake can use more than one weapon. For example, beside his trusty machine gun, he can also use lasers to fire through mutants, place land mines on the ground or throw grenades to blow them up.</p>
<p>Snake has to make his way through each level by blasting mutants while finding the exit. But to find it, he must first free a hostage located on each level. Some parts of each level are blocked off by a laser gate, and these include passages where the hostages are kept. To turn these off, Snake must search for a keycard or a crystal shard. There are lockers which store these, and can only be opened by obtaining gold keys.</p>
<p>Also in these locked doors are goodies that can boost your score, which could give you an extra life. You can also get an extra life by either collecting 50 gems or a mini-Snake. A few of the levels have a color sequence. This involves finding five different colors in a line, and then finding five switches that must be flipped in the correct order that corresponds to the sequence of colors. Doing this will allow you to get goodies that add many points to your score. However, failure to switch in the correct order will result in Snake falling down a pit of spikes or toxic waste. In some areas, you can also get a flask full of liquid that will make your invincible for 30 seconds. As normally, it does not work when Snake falls down a pit.</p>

<p>You are a member of the Imperial Navy, eager to fight the Rebel Alliance and other scum to strengthen the rule of Darth Vader and the Emperor.</p>
<p>The follow up to <a href="/search/?q=X-Wing">X-Wing</a> is a space combat simulation set in the Star Wars universe. There are 7 campaigns, taking in over 50 missions. You often have wingmen who can be given orders to help you out. The detailed storyline is driven by cutscenes. You will fly a variety of craft from the lowly Tie Fighter to the speedy Tie Interceptor to the high-powered Tie Advanced. On each of these, balancing engine/laser/shield ratios in real time is crucial to getting the most power and safety.</p>

<p>The planet Arrakis (also known as Dune for its sandy landscape) is the only place in the known universe where Melange (more commonly known as the Spice) can be found. The Spice is the basis of interstellar travel and thus the standard of the Imperial economy. To increase productivity, The Padishah Emperor has invited three powerful Houses (Harkonnen, Atreides, and Ordos) to compete against one another economically and bring up spice production. Competition among these houses begins peacefully but soon turns ugly as they battle each other with armed troops, advanced weaponry, and spies. The planet itself is also hostile, with dangerous sandworms inhabiting the spice fields.</p>
<p><em>Dune II</em> is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based on them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed.</p>
<p>The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on the sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility, or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles, and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.</p>
<p>After a mission is completed, the player can select the next mission on a map of Dune. This choice determines the layout of the next map to be played but has no effect on the overall campaign.</p>

<p>In this game, the player takes the role of Adol (Aron in the English-language Sega Master System version) Christin, a red-haired adventurer and expert swordsman. One day he encounters a fortune teller who sends him on a quest to find information about the six books of Ys. It appears that there was once an ancient land called Ys, whose secret was sealed in those six books. Before long Adol learns that the six books were all stolen by the evil wizard Dark Fact (Dulk Dekt in the Sega Master System version, Malificus in the English-language computer versions). It is Adol's task to defeat the villain and discover the secret of Ys!</p>
<p><em>Ys: The Vanished Omens</em> is an action role-playing game with its own trademark combat system: instead of pressing the "attack" button, the protagonist simply runs into the enemies he encounters. More damage is inflicted upon the enemies if Adol charges at them from the back or from the sides - a head-to-head collision might result in the hero's death if the monster is stronger than him. The player gains gold and experience points for defeating foes; once enough experience has been accumulated, Adol levels up and becomes stronger. The hero can buy and equip swords, armor, shields, and other accessories.</p>

<p>The Bungeling Empire has stolen a huge cache of gold from its rightful owners, and your mission is to infiltrate its treasury and recapture it. This entails progressing through 150 screens of platforms, ladders and ropes.</p>
<p>The Empire has sent robotic guards down to protect the gold, and contact with any of these will cost you a life. Your method of escaping them is to press fire to dig a hole in their line of movement, thus causing them to fall in briefly, allowing you to move across the gap safely. Once all the gold has been collected, a ladder allowing you to move onto the next screen is added. Completing these screens often requires forward planning and precision.</p>
<p>This was one of the earliest games to include a level editor, allowing the creation of new level designs with no programming skill.</p>

<p><em>Chronomaster</em> is an adventure game, written by two famous science fiction authors, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/4151/roger-zelazny/">Roger Zelazny</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/4180/jane-lindskold/">Jane Lindskold</a>.</p>
<p>It takes place in a future where universe creation has been taken to an art form with the advent of Pocket Universes (a concept introduced in this game by Zelazny). In the game you play the role of Rene Korda, one of the most respected creators of Pocket Universes in the galaxy. The Terrn Regional Government asks you to intervene when five Pocket Universes are put to stasis by an unknown force.</p>

<p><em>Sword of the Samurai</em> simulates feudal leadership in 15th century Japan. Players take on the role of a young samurai warrior with a small kingdom. You and your neighbors vie for land and perform feats to win the favour of your lord, struggling to win the shogunate. Time will be spent managing the kingdom and wandering through feudal Japan; setting the scene for arcade sequences that determine your standing. Win the battle, gain land; beat the swordsman, gain honour.</p>

<p>Marid Audran is a private investigator who has been out of luck (and money) for quite a while, being forced to do petty delivery jobs to earn his living. During one of these errands, Marid finds his client dead. The authorities assume that he is the murderer; however, a powerful mafia boss pulls some strings and gets Marid off the hook. In exchange for this favor, Marid has to find out who really killed that man, who turned out to be the mafia ruler's assistant and whose death may be but a part of a larger scheme.</p>
<p><em>Circuit's Edge</em> is based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/10842/george-alec-effinger/">George Alec Effinger</a>'s <em>When Gravity Fails</em> novel. It is set in a dark version of the future, in which the Islamic world has become the sole dominant power on the planet. The events of the game take place in the Budayeen, the criminal and entertainment district of an unspecified city in the Middle East. Mature themes such as violence, drug usage and sex are liberally used to paint the game's grim setting.</p>
<p>Though it contains a few adventure game elements, the game is primarily an RPG. The player navigates Marid through the maze-like city, which resembles a pseudo-3D first-person dungeon area. Marid has to eat and rest from time to time in order to stay alive. Cybernetic modifications can be purchased to increase the protagonist's combat and hacking abilities. Money is gained by defeating enemies on the streets in simple turn-based battles, or by gambling. The game's interface is somewhat similar to that of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1242/mars-saga/">Mars Saga</a>.</p>

<p>Kill all the enemies, avoid the mines, and travel between distinct worlds to kill the evil mastermind in this behind-the-hero view shooter.</p>

<p><em>Space Racer</em> is an action racing game with a sci-fi theme. The player controls a futuristic hoverbike, competing against computer-controlled vehicles of a similar kind. The races take place in outer space-themed environments, resembling surfaces of alien planets. The player should try to avoid collision with the other bikes to get to the finish line first; a more violent way of solving the same problem involves shooting at the opponents. The altitude of the hoverbike depends on its speed - the faster it goes, the farther away from the ground it is, and vice versa.</p>

<p>The ninja hero of the <a href="/game/saboteur">original Saboteur game</a> has been killed, and his sister Nina is out to avenge this injustice. She has an array of kung-fu moves on offer, and must put them to use through 700 screens of action. The game design is very similar to the original, right down to the unusual background graphical style. The sections of the game are on multiple levels, separated mainly by ladders, and with lots of weapons and ammunition to pick up along the way. To beat the game you'll have to collect tapes and collect a 14-part computer code.</p>

<p>Karn the warrior has been the scourge of a group of evil wizards for many years, and as such they have trapped a demon inside the Deathbringer Sword. Karn has this sword, and must use it to get through 30 levels to wreak his revenge.</p>
<p>The game is side-scrolling and beat 'em up focused. The levels are inter-connected and have multiple exits available, with over 600 screens in total. The publishers made a big deal of the level of parallax scrolling and other graphical detail in the game.</p>

<p>In this game you play the role of a barbarian who must navigate his way through dangerous dungeons. The game is played from a third person side scrolling perspective and also has platform jumping parts to it. The barbarian is controlled by using left and right on the joystick to move and up and down is used to scroll through the various commands at the bottom of the screen.
When a command is highlighted pressing fire will perform that action thus saving on extra buttons being needed to play. There are two weapons at your disposal. A sword which you start the game with and later a bow which is handy for long range attacks. There are many traps to avoid and various monsters who have different attack patterns.</p>

<p><em>Death Rally</em> is a top-down racing game where the player can rely on more than speed to be the number one, and brains must be riding along brawn to get the most from each race. </p>
<p>Starting with only $495 and a lowly car, the player must compete in one of three races (picked from 19 tracks) with increasingly difficult opponents but higher rewards, getting enough money to buy new cars, choosing from six models, and enhance them with one to four upgrades for engine (increase top speed), tires (improve traction, allowing to drift less on turns) and armor (reduces the damage caused by opponents, mines or collisions). But there are more ways to spend money by reaching the underground market where the player can buy land mines (can be dropped to get opponents directly behind or create traps in narrow sections), get some rocket fuel (which increases boost speed greatly at the expense of some damage for both the user car and the ones directly behind) or bribe a mechanic to mess around with the best-ranked opponent car. All these upgrades are valid for one race only.</p>
<p>The race varies in length depending on the difficulty chosen, but follow the same structure: four drivers with the starting grid set according to the championship table, with the worst placed starting in front and so on, and the first to cross the line after the stipulated number of laps wins or the last driver standing wins. At the same time, the fourth place driver gets no points and no money, including pick up bonuses, and lapped drivers get the same luck. The player can use a booster to increase speed for a few seconds, but once the reserve is depleted, the player has to wait it replenishes or pick up icons scattered on the track. Similar items appear to replenish ammo, repair the car or give small money bonuses. Occasionally, large money and repair items appear, which provide a much larger bonus. </p>
<p>Along the money earned in races, there are several bonuses if the player manages to wipe out all competition, complete the race without a scratch, achieve a streak of wins, or fulfill certain missions for some sponsors, such as collecting steroids and winning the race or destroying an opponent. The value of these bonus changes according to the car: a bonus with the Vagabond can be worth as little as $650, but with the Deliverator a mission can be worth 12 grand, regardless of the race selected.</p>
<p>The ultimate goal is to top the championship table, and then defeat the Adversary in a special track.</p>

<p><em>Ascendancy</em> is similar to, but nevertheless very different from, <a href="/search/?q=Master+Orion">Master of Orion</a>. You play one of many races, each with a special ability and special character traits, who set off to explore space, erect colonies (which can each have individual purposes, depending on their raw materials) and engage in battles when you clash with others who have the same goals. Weapons on the ships use power, which has to be supplied somehow.</p>
<p>This game introduces many original concepts, such as the Research Tree - a special scientific display in which discoveries are depicted as icons connected by lines to the "parent" technological breakthroughs and "child" ones, similar to the technology advances in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/78026/civilization/">Civilization</a>, but presented in a much more visual way.</p>

<p><em>Darklands</em> is a role-playing game set in 15th century Holy Roman Empire, which at that time encompassed today's Germany and several surrounding countries. Unlike most other role-playing games, it is set in a concrete historical environment that is accurately depicted, including geographical outlines, social and cultural backgrounds, authentic establishments and items, and so on. The game's supernatural elements are strictly based on the popular beliefs of that time and region and include fantastic creatures such as kobolds or dragons, curses, witchcraft, alchemy that actually works, etc.</p>
<p>The player controls a party of four active characters, though any amount of them can be created and swapped in the town inns. The player can begin by either selecting a pre-made party (quickstart) or by creating their own characters. In the beginning the player selects the character's social background. Afterwards, when they are ten years old, the player can choose an initial career path for them. Careers may include diverse occupations such as soldier, peasant, bandit, etc., which may eventually become more specialized (e.g. a student turning into an alchemist). </p>
<p>The more time the player invests in a certain career path (in five year periods), the more experience points the character receives, which can be manually allocated to improve their skills. Career choices affect main attributes such as strength or charisma, as well as skills, which involve weapon proficiencies, stealth, virtue, speaking Latin, healing, riding, and many others. Though there are no class definitions and each character can theoretically achieve excellence in any skill, character builds in the game can be seen as warriors, clerics, and alchemists. Religion-oriented characters may learn about various saints during the course of the game and pray to them for different benefits. Alchemists gain access to formulae and have to procure ingredients to mix potions with various effects. Skills in the game increase through repeated use: using swords in combat may increase the edged weapon skill, successfully conducted conversation may increase the character's common speech skill, etc.</p>
<p>The party chosen by the player begins the adventure in the inn of a randomly chosen town. The main plot eventually involves confronting a powerful demon and its cult, but it is unraveled only under specific circumstances achieved in the game. The game has a vast scope and can go on indefinitely. However, characters would age, grow weaker, and eventually die, requiring the player to create new ones. The main goal is to collect as much fame for the party as possible to obtain higher-ranked quests with better rewards, which also includes the quest that leads to the completion of the main plot. The player is completely free to roam the vast map of the Empire, accessing towns, castles, villages, and other places of interest. Towns and castles are navigated via text menus, with background images representing various locations. The travel screen is a map of the Empire with a lone figure representing the player-controlled party. </p>
<p>Most settlements of the same type have nearly identical options, though actual results may vary depending on the characters' skills, their local reputation, as well as unique traits found in different locations. For example, different towns may have wares of vastly different quality for sale; villages may engage in devil worship, and the player may attempt to prove that, etc. It is possible to increase local reputation (for example, by taking on cutthroats bothering the citizens) and overall fame by making virtue-increasing choices and vanquishing foes. It is, however, also possible to become outlaws by attacking guards, killing priests on the roads, and so on.</p>
<p>The game has several large isometric dungeon-type areas, most notably mines of different types, which contain generic quests as well as puzzles to solve. Areas unique to the main plot are also built like dungeons with particularly dangerous enemies and treasure to loot. However, much of the activity in the game takes place either in towns or in the wilderness, through various types of random encounters. The player is always given the option to avoid combat either through diplomacy or other means, the success depending on the character's corresponding attributes. </p>
<p>Combat takes place on separate isometric screens and proceeds in real time, but the player can pause the action to give orders to the characters at any time, giving it a pseudo-turn-based flavor. Characters can be ordered to attack, search for the enemies' vulnerable spots, use items, etc. Different types of weapons may have different effects depending on the enemies' armor: for example, blunt weapons are more effective against plate armor than swords. Depending on the enemies' intentions, player-controlled characters may only be knocked down or wounded mortally in case of defeat. Dead characters can not be brought back to life and must be replaced with new ones.</p>

<p>The year is 1986. You take on the role of the US President or the Russian General Secretary. You have the full industrial capacity, covert forces, and military might of your country at your command. Your job? To make your country the world's most powerful and prestigious over the course of your eight years in office. Sounds easy, doesn't it? It would be if the other guy didn't have his finger poised over a red button that could wipe out the world! </p>
<p>You must use diplomacy, make treaties, issue risky, covert CIA or KGB actions, or riskier, direct military intervention to prop up third world countries or help their insurgents and win them to your governmental philosophy: Capitalism or Communism. The world is a big place... and the other guy could start a nuclear war over a country as tiny as Tunisia. This game is the ultimate Cold War simulation. Every action requires careful analysis and the ability to judge your opponent (computer or human) and his reaction. The game features 62 countries, each carefully researched with up to date (as of 1985) information regarding their government, demographics, resources, etc.</p>

<p>World War II is raging. The US has suffered an attack at Pearl Harbor, and most of its battleships are lost. The few remaining US carriers are fighting a desperate war against the Japanese surface fleets. But the US has a secret weapon: sleek, silent, deadly... you are a Submarine Commander!</p>
<p>The action is viewed from within the submarine. Watch out for your speed, direction and depth. This game features 9 types of submarines to choose from, 10 types of torpedoes to fire, 14 Japanese surface ships (9 warships, 5 transport), and the entire Pacific Ocean as your battleground. The seven missions all recreate real US navy engagements. Can you sink the Yamato???</p>

<p><em>Epic Pinball</em> is a pinball video game played from a 2D top-down view within a scrollable window. The game was distributed on floppy disks in three separate packs of 4 tables each:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pack 1 (Android, Pot of Gold, Excalibur, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/39681/crash-burn/">Crash and Burn</a>)</li>
<li>Pack 2 (Magic, Jungle Pinball, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/48366/deep-sea/">Deep Sea</a>, Enigma)</li>
<li>Pack 3 (Cyborgirl, Pangaea, Space Journey, Toy Factory)</li>
</ul>
<p>The shareware version of the game (and an early retail version) included only the original "Android" table (later versions contained an updated version called "Super Android"). Some tables were available as a separate releases as well as in much bigger compilations.</p>
<p>Each table has up to four flippers, giving the player the possibility to control the ball uniquely during the game. The tables are themed, making each table individual on its own way.</p>

<p>Hockey League Simulator allows you to design and manage your own customized league
or create current or classic leagues from the past.</p>

<p><em>NHL 95</em> was EA Sports' third licensed ice hockey game, promising the fastest action in the series to date. The action is viewed top-down, and can be played with or without realistic penalties. There is a full season mode, allowing you to guide a team through all 84 matches, with the option of injuries potentially putting players out of a sequence of matches. You have full control over trading and creating players for your squad. New in-game moves include dummy shots and lie-down blocks.</p>

<p>In this game, the player controls a writer who had just moved into a cottage located on the coastal area of the state Oregon. Near the cottage is a lighthouse, inhabited by the eccentric Dr. Jeremiah Krick and his daughter Amanda. One day, glancing out of the window, the hero(ine) notices that the lighthouse has been struck by lightning. Dr. Krick has also left an unclear message on the answering machine, imploring the protagonist to come as soon as possible. Upon arriving at the lighthouse, the protagonist finds out that its inhabitants have been kidnapped by a mysterious being, and transported into a parallel universe. A strange new world must be explored, and its mysteries solved, in order to bring back Dr. Krick and his daughter...</p>
<p><em>Lighthouse: The Dark Being</em> is a first-person adventure game conceived in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=myst">Myst</a>. Locations are represented as pre-rendered still screens. Interaction with the environment is performed with a simple single-cursor, point-and-click interface. Similarly to <em>Myst</em>, the puzzles are notable for their difficulty, and are logic- rather than inventory-based, consisting of careful observation, clue-gathering, and manipulation of the environments.</p>

<p>Motion-captured graphics made their first appearance in a hockey game with this Brett Hull license. Al Michaels provides a full running commentary, while a mode allowing the player to improve their game with Brett's help is also included. The game is viewed isometrically, with all the realistic fouls and gameplay situations included. Full pre-match analysis and forecasting is provided, as are post match statistics.</p>

<p>As a Star Police Captain, your job is to maintain peace in the Universe. Bust up an intergalactic drug ring in an odyssey involving pyramids, giant artichokes, a <strong>big</strong> conspiracy, and the Universe.</p>

<p>In the distant future, humans have left Earth, carrying its ecosystem with them. However, the journey to the stars lasted longer than they had thought. Computers took control of navigation, and humans had nothing else to do but sleep, dreaming of a new paradise. When the mysterious Scarab-X forces attacked, the Scavenger 4 squadron became humanity's only hope for survival.</p>
<p><em>Novastorm</em> is a rail shooter in which players blast enemies against a cinematic backdrop, trying to kill the computer-controlled fighters before they take over the world. Unlike first-generation interactive movies with action, the game has hooks into the environment: if the player-controlled fighter moves into the path of a pre-rendered obstacle, there is a collision and the craft takes damage.</p>

<p><em>Star Wars: Rebel Assault</em> is an arcade flight/shooting game based on the original Star Wars trilogy. Players control Rebel recruit Rookie One (who can be set to have either a male or female voice) in combat against the Empire. Story events (which don't follow the films to the letter but instead offer their own interpretation and characters) include Rookie One's basic training, an Imperial assault on Tatooine, the battle of Hoth from <em>The Empire Strikes Back</em> and the Death Star battle from <em>A New Hope</em>. Players will control four different Star Wars craft: Skyhoppers, A-Wings, X-Wings, and Snowspeeders.</p>
<p>The game's fifteen levels encompass navigating canyons, caves, and asteroid fields, battles against TIE Fighters in space, attacks against a Star Destroyer and an Imperial Walker, a battle on foot against stormtroopers, and the famous Death Star trench run. There are three different types of flight sequences: seen from either behind the own craft, from an overhead perspective, or from a first-person cockpit view. All follow an 'on-rails' model, utilizing motion video backdrops displaying pre-rendered environments. The third-person levels allow some degree of free movement to dodge obstacles, while the first-person levels limit movement to a minimum, mostly requiring accurate shooting instead. Some levels offer a choice of branching paths. The on-foot level takes place on static screens, with Rookie One seen from behind, stormtroopers moving in from side corridors, and the player being able to take steps to the side to avoid enemy fire. The game features a password system - a password is given after every level in the console ports, but only after a group of levels in the PC version.</p>

<p>Brutal Deluxe doesn't live up to their name - in fact they're the worst team Speedball has ever seen. As their manager, it is your job to transform their fortunes. As well as the league system, which consists of 2 8-team divisions and challenges you to advance to the top, there are also 2 cup tournaments, one of which is played out over 2 'legs' with the aggregate score deciding who progresses.</p>
<p>You can play the matches as well, which is the real meat of the game. They consist of 2 90-second periods, and the gameplay is futuristic, fast, and frantic, with heavy tackling encouraged to retrieve the ball. Power-ups and tokens appear on the pitch, including ones to make your players extra-tough or freeze the opponents.</p>
<p>The sides of the pitch each include a score multiplier, which you can run the ball through to increase the value of your scoring - the opposition can sometimes immediately grab the ball and nullify this. There are also 5 stars which are worth 2 points each if you hit them (more if you have the multiplier activated), but these can also be canceled out by the opposition hitting the same star, and their points values only become set after the half. Next to the stars, there are portals, which throw the ball out the opposite side of the pitch, in the direction it was going.</p>
<p>You get money for the results, and by collecting the silver tokens which appear on the pitch at random intervals. Between each match, you can spend these either on improving your existing players as far as they can go or on buying better ones and fitting them into the team. Your original players can only be improved to a certain extent, so remembering where your signed players are and making use of them is important.</p>
<p>A variety of tokens also appear during the match, some of which boost your team's power for a short period of time, and one freezes the opposition.</p>

<p><em>Silverball</em> is basically a commercially published version of the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/263/epic-pinball/">Epic Pinball</a>. The game engine is nearly the same, only the tables themselves are different. It comes with four tables: Fantasy, Blood, Snooker Champ, and Odyssey. Some distributions (<em>Silverball Plus 2</em>) include two extra tables, Warbot and Duel, which are more or less the same as the Excalibur and Magic tables from Epic Pinball with some different art and music. Finally, a seventh table, Nova, may or may not be a part of the game - see Trivia for details.</p>

<p><em>Xenon 2: Megablast</em> is a vertically scrolling space shooter, in which you have to pass several levels, filled with waves of enemies, that all end with a level boss creature. Each group of enemies you destroy grants you a cash reward and every once in a while you enter Colin's Bargain Basement, where you can use this cash to purchase upgrades for your ship like better weapons, speed &amp; health upgrades, etc. Some upgrades can also be picked up during the levels.</p>
<p>The first part of the game has an organic feel to it, while the second part of the game features mechanical enemies. As there are some maze-like sections with dead-ends in the game, your spaceship scrolls backwards when you keep pressing the down key.</p>

<p><em>Extreme Pinball</em> is <a href="/search/?q=Epic+Megagames">Epic Megagames'</a> successor to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/263/epic-pinball/">Epic Pinball</a>. It contains four pinball tables: Rock Fantasy, Medieval Knights, Urban Chaos, and Monkey Mayhem, each with a different theme. Compared to <em>Epic Pinball</em>, it has a larger, 320x400 resolution, as well as taller tables, both allowing for more objects. It also has a typical Dot Matrix Display where the scoreboard shows 3D-rendered animations as well. The controls are more sensitive with a faster ball. This is less true to real pinball gameplay, but it speeds up the game's pace and gives more power to the player to influence the movement.</p>

<p><em>The Civil War</em> covers the American Civil War from the years 1861 to 1865. You can play as the North or South, and the object is to take over a certain amount of cities of the opposing side before the war ends. It features both strategic and tactical parts in a turn-based format.</p>
<p>This game has about 45 difficulty levels (9 different "strategy factors" like supply, unit types, fatigue, etc. x 5 realism levels each). However, even with all 9 set to the highest difficulty, the game can be won in a few hours.</p>

<p><em>Imperium Galactica</em> is set sometime during the fourth millennium and you, as a human, must rebuild the Human Empire. You start out as a young lieutenant and are given a series of missions to complete. You then advance to the next rank and are given more ships to control and more available commands, but you have more area of the universe to police and more colonies. This continues until you reach the rank of Grand Admiral, where you are able to view the whole map.</p>
<p>When you are in command of a region, you must worry about its economy. Ensure that taxes are collected and that the people are well-fed and reproducing. 75 new scientific discoveries can be made over the course of the game.</p>
<p>Your enemies are a bunch of alien races. They each have their own style of architecture, ships, and land-based units. However, some are more inspired than others. Diplomacy options ensure that all-out war is not the only way to victory. In combat you have ships to protect and mercenary pirates to deal with.</p>
<p>There is a plot-driven interactive movie element to the game, with an opening movie, and cutscenes appearing whenever you advance in rank and also at certain other points in the game. Voices used in these are computer generated. </p>
<p>The player has to refit every single ship manually. The land battles resemble <a href="/search/?q=Command+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a> , though with only vehicle units.</p>

<p>In the future, the world is controlled by a handful of global corporations (syndicates). You are the Marketing director (hitman) for one of these companies. It is your job to take control away from the competitors. The job is not one of diplomacy, but one of brute force and physical control. Advance your way to the top of the corporation by successfully completing your missions and managing the money you make from your territories.</p>
<p>The gameplay is visually reminiscent of <a href="/search/?q=X-Com">X-Com</a>, with an angled top-down perspective, but it is real-time rather than turn-based. You have missions ranging from infiltrate and capture, to seek and destroy. In each of these, you direct a team of four agents as they move through the world shooting at anything that gets in their way.</p>
<p>You can upgrade and modify your agents, as well as equip them with tools you have researched or liberated from opposing syndicates. As you complete missions, you gain more funds to use for purchasing agents or researching upgrades and equipment.</p>

<p><em>American Revolt</em> is an add-on pack to <a href="/search/?q=Higher+Functions">Syndicate</a>. It requires the original game and includes 3 new weapons, 21 new single player missions, and 10 multiplayer missions.</p>

<p><em>The 7th Guest</em> is a puzzle-adventure game which takes place inside an abandoned mansion. Venture into the 22 rooms of the spooky mansion, solve over 20 mind-bending puzzles to unravel a tale of revenge and horror that took place in the 1930s.</p>
<p>The owner of the mansion was Henry Stauf, a famous maker of children's toys. Once a homeless drifter and thief, influenced by a vision in a dream, Henry invented a wondrous doll, so incredibly life-like that it sold like wildfire. Stauf's toys became popular overnight bringing fame and fortune and changing his rags to riches. But things took a tragic turn when owners of the doll became infected with a fierce and deadly virus. None of those children recovered.</p>
<p>After this turn of events Stauf secluded himself inside his estate, stopped making his toys and never came into contact with the outside world for a long time. Something very strange happened when six people receive an invitation to a party at the mansion. By solving the riddles inside Stauf's "fun house", you'll delve into the past to learn what happened to them, and the mysterious 7th guest, on that fateful night.</p>
<p>The game is played in first person perspective with a point-and-click interface featuring horror-themed animated cursors (skeletons, bulging-eye skulls etc.). It is one of the first games to be released on the then-new CD-Rom media. The graphics are fully rendered in SVGA, and real actors and actresses bring the story to life during numerous full-motion video cut scenes. The visuals are accompanied by an original, orchestrated musical score.</p>
<p>To finish the game, you must solve the puzzles in Stauf's manor; each solved puzzle will unlock new rooms or new movie sequences to watch. The puzzles are quite varied; there's the classic "eight queens puzzle", another puzzle where you need to compose a sentence by rearranging letters, and others. If you get stuck, you can visit the library; a book within will give you hints on the puzzle. If the hints aren't enough, the puzzle will solve itself automatically once you consult the book enough times. </p>
<p>Some later, limited releases of the game came with a separate video that included a "behind the scenes" look at the making of the game and interviews with the developers.</p>

<p>Based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/4270/raymond-e-feist/">Raymond E. Feist</a>'s Riftwar saga (and co-written by Feist himself), <em>Betrayal at Krondor</em> is a medieval fantasy-themed role-playing game set in the Riftwar universe. </p>
<p>The story begins as Gorath, a moredhel (dark elf) renegade, who intended to warn the people of Krondor of the upcoming moredhel invasion, is attacked by an assassin. Locklear, a nobleman who serves the crown of Krondor, and a young magician named Owyn decide to accompany Gorath to Krondor, where they'll have to think of a plan to stop the moredhel leader Delekhan.</p>
<p>The game's story is divided into nine chapters. Each chapter has a goal to achieve before moving on to the next one, but the player is given considerable freedom to explore the vast world of the game and undertake side quests. Gorath, Locklear, and Owyn are the first party of characters the player controls; however, characters may leave and others may join the party later, as dictated by the events of the story.</p>
<p>Exploration in <em>Betrayal at Krondor</em> takes place in a 3D world viewed from first-person perspective. Towns, however, are presented as a series of still screens representing locations (temple, tavern, inn, etc.). Combat takes place on separate grid-based screens. The player moves the characters on these screens in a turn-based fashion, attacking physically, defending, and casting spells.</p>
<p>Only two character classes are present in the game: fighters and magicians. Fighters use swords or crossbows (for long-ranged attacks); magicians can fight with staves, or cast spells. Characters have four attributes: health, strength, speed, and stamina. The latter is depleted when a character uses weapons or casts magic. The role-playing system of the game relies on skills. Each character has a set of skills, ranging from weapon proficiencies to abilities such as bartering or stealth. Skills improve after continuous usage. The player can "emphasize" a skill in order to make it improve faster.</p>

<p><em>Wasteland</em> takes place in the future after the nuclear holocaust of World War III. The player guides band of Desert Rangers from town to town, gradually uncovering a sinister plot that threatens what's left of mankind.</p>
<p>Much of the game is played like most other RPGs of its time: the player navigates the party through the top-down world, fights enemies (which appear randomly in hostile areas) in turn-based style on combat screens represented by enemy pictures, acquires information, equipment, and items from NPCs in towns, etc. The player can create a whole party of adventurers and/or recruit some of the characters that populate the game's world.</p>
<p>However, <em>Wasteland</em> also introduced an original skill system that has had a significant influence on the genre. The game makes use of the skill system in conjunction with traditional character attributes to achieve goals and get past obstacles. Beside helping the characters to fight more efficiently, main attributes sometimes have an impact on activities used outside of combat. For example, high strength can be applied to break a heavy object, charisma rating might influence the way NPCs interact with the main character, etc.</p>
<p>The skills work in a similar way: some of them improve the characters' proficiencies with different types of attacks and weapons, while others are needed to solve and/or by pass certain situations during interaction with the game's characters and objects. These skills are rather diverse, ranging from physical abilities such as swimming to more complex actions (medic, lock-picking), or even psychological states (confidence). Skill learning and progression depend on the main character's IQ rating.</p>

<p>Guybrush Threepwood, the mighty pirate who can hold his breath for ten minutes, could have lived quietly and happily with his sweetheart Elaine, the governor of Melee Island. But the restless pirate spirit won't let Guybrush in peace. Things don't go very well with Elaine, and Guybrush (now with a beard) embarks on a new adventure: searching for the legendary treasure of Big Whoop. However, the evil ghost pirate LeChuck hasn't left the stage yet. His subordinates are trying to bring him back from the dead one more time. Will Guybrush be able to defeat his archenemy again?</p>
<p><em>Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge</em> is a puzzle-solving adventure game and a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/616/the-secret-of-monkey-island/">The Secret of Monkey Island</a>. It utilizes the same command-based SCUMM interface (the player uses verb commands on highlighted objects) and branching dialogue system (choosing between several different responses during conversations) that were used in its predecessor. The game features hand-painted graphics, and is the first to utilize LucasArts' iMUSE system, which synchronizes music with visual action on the screen by providing smooth transition between themes.</p>
<p>The events of the game take place on a new set of islands; a part of the game allows the player to explore several islands simultaneously. Uncommonly for adventure games, <em>LeChuck's Revenge</em> features two difficulty levels. The easier one is dubbed <em>Monkey Island 2 Lite</em>; it bypasses or simplifies some of the harder puzzles.</p>

<p>In <em>Bad Street Brawler</em>, players take the role of the former punk rocker and current martial artist Duke Dunnegan, or alternatively the wrestler Gorgeous George (Bop N' Wrestle) or as a high school teacher pushed to far (Street Hassle) who finds he is the only one in the position to clean the mean streets from various thugs and loonies.</p>
<p>Gameplay involves walking through the streets and taking out any enemies that get in the way. Kicks and punches are your basic moves at first, but as the game progresses, new moves and attacks become available, and new enemy types to beat up as well.</p>

<p>A truly bizarre game which was rather popular at the time. It's an action game of sorts, in which you play Beetlejuice himself and you have to kill (?) all kinds of skeletons with weapons -- you start with the ability to shoot a single loogie at the skeletons and, by collecting bonuses from destroyed skeletons, you may get additional loogies per shot or completely different weapons.</p>
<p>Also, after you hit a skeleton, your friend Lidia has to collect the skeleton's remains with a vacuum cleaner; however, if a skeleton finds Lidia she becomes imprisoned in a cage and you have to release her by hitting another skeleton and taking a "lightning bonus" from his remains.</p>
<p>Another nice touch is the worm, which comes out of the playground every now and then and, should it hit you, kills you.</p>

<p>Moktar is an Arabian man who is lost in the big city. You must bring him back to the Arab world. The game is a platform game, essentially the same as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Titus+the+Fox">Titus the Fox</a>, with a different main character.</p>

<p>Pandora's first game combines the <a href="/search/?q=Gauntlet">Gauntlet</a> style with the World War 2 setting, and specifically the Eagle's Nest building which is being used by a commander as his HQ. Three Allied soldiers have been captured, and you must infiltrate the facilities, rescue your brave comrades, destroy the building, and salvage as much of the stolen art treasures as possible.</p>
<p>There are eight levels to explore, each with a specific mission objective. Some of the paintings are loose, others are in crates which must first be shot. Explosives must be collected, not shot. With limited ammunition, guards everywhere, keys at a premium, and lots of strategic hiding points, an all-guns-blazing approach is less successful than a planned, measured one.</p>

<p><em>Savage</em> contains three different parts, each with its own style. You can play all three, but to get more than one life on levels 2 or 3, you must first input the code earned on completing the previous level.</p>
<p>You play Savage, a muscular warrior who was imprisoned in a castle. When he broke free, he found out that his imprisonment had been a trick with the sole purpose of imprisoning his love, the maiden. You have to progress through the 3 parts of the game to rescue her. </p>
<p>The first is a simple horizontal-scrolling shooter, in which you use the trajectory of your shots to kill enemies and collect the treasures and improved weapons they drop when killed. The second is a 1st person perspective 3D shooter resembling <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1434/space-harrier/">Space Harrier</a>, with skulls to shoot and monoliths to avoid. In the third you play Savage's Eagle form, flying through platform-style levels avoiding timing-based hazards and shooting anyone who gets in your way. In this section bubbles can be shot to release power-ups.</p>

<p>In this sequel to the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1068/doom/">Doom</a>, the protagonist is still the same hero - the last remaining space marine. After having single-handedly saved Mars from demonic threat, he returns to Earth, only to find out that the demons have already invaded it, killed most of its inhabitants or possessed them. It's his task to bring down the force field around the last operational star port to allow the remnants of mankind to escape to the stars.</p>
<p><em>Doom II</em> looks and plays very similarly to its predecessor, utilizing the same 3D graphical engine with 2D sprites for enemies. The gameplay once again consists entirely of navigating the hero from first-person view through 3D environments and shooting at the demons while attempting to find the way out by flipping switches and looking for keys. Unlike in <em>Doom</em>, which is divided into three episodes, the 30 levels of this game (plus the 2 secret levels) form one long episode. </p>
<p>The game adds one new weapon to the player's arsenal; the super shotgun, several new demon types with more advanced attacks than those of the predecessor, such as the chaingun-toting Heavy Weapon Dudes, the skeletal Revenants who launch homing missiles and the sinister Arch-Viles who have a highly damaging fire attack.</p>

<p><em>Traffic Department 2192</em> is a top-down shooter focused around an original sci-fi storyline and dialogues, combined with fierce action sequences.</p>
<p>You are Lt. Velasquez, a pilot in the Seche Traffic Department, an organization which now serves as the people's army in repelling the invading Vultures. Velasquez has a personal grudge against the Vultures because, when she was a small child, they destroyed her father's hoverskid as he was returning from a long mission. The game progresses through a complex storyline with many twists and turns with well-rounded action sequences in the middle.</p>
<p>The game comprises three distinct episodes.</p>
<ul>
<li>Episode Alpha : Process of Elimination</li>
<li>Episode Beta : Cyborg Psychosis</li>
<li>Episide Gamma : Ultimatum</li>
</ul>
<p>Episode Alpha was initially released as shareware, though it was later released commercially, with the remaining episodes being available for purchase.</p>

The Amazing Spider-Man and Captain America in Dr. Doom's Revenge!

<p>Latverian president Dr. Doom is a terrible enemy, so when he hatches a plan to blow up New York City with a stolen Atomic bomb, one Marvel superhero is not enough to stop him. As the lavishly-drawn comic bundled with the game explains, Spider-Man and Captain America must join forces to go to Latveria and foil his plans.</p>
<p>The main action in the game is a side-scrolling beat 'em up, in which you alternately control the two characters. They each have their own moves to deal with The Rhino, Electro and other foes. Moves are context-sensitive based on the distance between your character and the opponent. Energy bars decrease as you each take hits. After each section you get comic-book sequences as a reward, and to set the scene of the evolving story.</p>

<p><em>Dark Seed</em> is an adventure game which capitalizes on the drawings of famous horror designer <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/861/h-r-giger/">H. R. Giger</a> as a source of background artwork and inspiration.</p>
<p>You play Mike Dawson, an ad company manager who, in pursuit of his goal in life to become a writer, purchases a solitary mansion in a small town called Woodland Hills. Although the low cost and hush-hush transactions when purchasing the house do raise your suspicion, the solitary environment and sheer beauty of the house crush common sense and you decide to buy the house. That's when trouble begin. Upon reaching the house, you suddenly feel tired. You find a bed and fall asleep...</p>
<p>... and wake up from a terrible dream, only to find out that your life has just become a worse nightmare: an unknown source has implanted a seed of darkness in your mind, and you only have three days to find a way to stop it.</p>

<p><em>Xixit</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Columns">Columns</a>-inspired action puzzler developed by demosceners. Groups of three blocks fall into a pit; control and drop them to create horizontal, vertical or diagonal groups of three or more, which are removed and scored. The registered version adds a two-player mode to the standard solitaire game.</p>

<p>Zak McKracken is a tabloid reporter (and not a very good one at that). After having a psychedelic dream one day, Zak realizes that something is wrong -- space aliens are dumbifying the general public through the telephone system. Zak must stop this, but he can't do it alone. After finding a strange crystal, Zak manages to get the help of the anthropologist Annie and her friends, Melissa and Leslie. The four unlikely heroes must now figure out a way to destroy the dumbifying devices and save the Earth.</p>
<p><em>Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders</em> is a third-person puzzle-solving adventure similar in gameplay to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/714/maniac-mansion/">Maniac Mansion</a>. The player chooses verb commands (Open, Pick Up, Give, etc.; there are no Look or Talk commands) to interact with the game world. The game features up to four controllable protagonists; it is possible to switch between them at any time after they have been introduced, and also exchange inventory items if the characters are in the same location. The game can be described as a "globe-trotting" adventure, since the heroes are required to travel to different exotic countries and even leave the Earth for a while in order to complete it. Some of the puzzles are optional or can be solved in different ways.</p>
<p>The FM Towns version has VGA graphics with 256 colors and higher-quality music and sound effects.</p>
<p>GOG release comes with two versions of the game that install simultaneously. One is FM Towns version with updated graphics, while the other is marked as Floppy version which is the old DOS version of a game.</p>

<p><em>Wolfenstein 3D</em> is an episodic first-person shooter and a follow-up to the top-down infiltration game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3115/castle-wolfenstein/">Castle Wolfenstein</a>. The game puts the player in the boots of B.J. Blazkowicz, an allied spy. There are six episodes: the first distributed completely as shareware; the second and the third available after registration; and the three final missions (which happen before the events of the first episode) available in the Nocturnal Missions pack. </p>
<p>In the first episode (Escape from Wolfenstein), B.J. is captured, but overpowers a guard with the help of a concealed knife and manages to get out of his cell. Throughout the next nine levels, the player guides B.J. searching for an escape from Wolfenstein, guarded by Hans Grosse. After returning to Allied territory, B.J. is given the instructions to Operation: Eisenfaust, where he has to stop Dr. Schabbs and his army of mutant prototypes before they are released into the battlefields. The final mission (Die, Führer, Die!) has a simple goal: infiltrate the bunker under the Reichstag, and terminate Hitler (in a robotic suit) himself.</p>
<p>The Nocturnal Missions are focused on the Nazi plans for chemical warfare, and start with Dark Secret, where B.J. hunts for lead researcher Dr. Otto Giftmacher. It's followed by Trail of the Madman, where the goal is capturing the war plans guarded by Gretel Grosse, and the final episode Confrontation, where B.J. meets General Fettgesicht, the planner for the chemical assault.</p>
<p>Each episode has nine levels (eight regular and a final boss level), plus a secret level activated by a hidden switch somewhere in the eight first levels. Regular levels often feature a maze-like appearance or large areas with many enemies (the number of them on each area depends on the difficulty level), where the player must reach the exit elevator. To do so, he must kill the enemies (while it's possible to move behind the guards' backs and even there's a slight bonus in attacking them from behind, most enemies have to be dealt with by firepower), and depending on the level, activate "push walls" and/or get silver and golden keys to open certain doors.</p>
<p>Many objects can be found in a level, from medikits, chicken meals, and even dog food (to restore health), ammo, and treasures, which solely exist for points. There are four weapons (knife, pistol, machine gun, and Gatling), all of them using the same bullets except the knife. The knife and the pistol are given at the start of the level, while the machine gun is either found (usually in secret areas) or picked up from SS troopers, and the Gatling is always dropped somewhere in the level. There are five kinds of enemies (excluding bosses) - Dogs (fast, but more a nuisance than life-threatening), Army Soldiers (dressed in a regular brown outfit, not very powerful but usually found in large groups), Officers (dressed in white, armed with a very accurate pistol and tough to kill), SS Troopers (blue attire, armed with a machine gun and tough to kill), and Mutants (the rarest and toughest of regular enemies, pale-skinned troopers with green clothes and a machine gun stuck in their chest).</p>
<p>The player character has a number of lives; once he loses the last life, the game ends. To win extra lives, the player has to either find the 1-up item in the level or get 20,000 points (by killing enemies and capturing treasures or completing a level below the 'par' time while killing all enemies, finding all secrets by pushing walls, and collecting all treasure points).</p>

<p>The Archmage Khelben summons the Heroes of Waterdeep, slayers of the Beholder Xanathar, for another mission. Strange things are happening in the forests near Waterdeep, centered around the Temple Darkmoon. People have been disappearing and shallow graves containing human remains have been found. Khelben teleports the party to the forests near Darkmoon so they may find out what kind of evil is working in the towers of the temple.</p>
<p><em>Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon</em> is, like its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/835/eye-of-the-beholder/">predecessor</a>, a first-person dungeon-crawling role-playing game based on the second edition of AD&amp;D rules. It uses the same point-and-click gameplay mechanics and controls as the first game, with only minor changes. The game is set entirely in pseudo-3D maze-like areas; no automapping is available. Combat flows in real time, and characters can move as a single unit to lure enemies or avoid blows.</p>
<p>A starting party consists of four characters, which can be transferred from the earlier game or created from scratch. Six classes (Fighter, Ranger, Paladin, Cleric, Mage, and Thief) are available. Characters can reach higher levels and learn new spells, must face new and tough monsters, and solve multiple puzzles. Compared to the first game, many more illustrated NPC encounters and cutscenes were added.</p>

<p>A very unique real-time strategy game. It's only semi-real-time, because it's possible to pause the action at any moment. The player commands 22 different insects in a long campaign (56 missions) against the computer-AI or a human opponent.</p>

<p>It's World War II and you are B.J. Blazkowicz, the Allies' most valuable agent. In the midst of the German Blitzkrieg, the Spear that pierced the side of Christ is taken from Versailles by the Nazis and secured in the impregnable Castle Wolfenstein. According to legend, no man can be defeated when he has the Spear. Hitler believes himself to be invincible with the power of the Spear as his brutal army sweeps across Europe.</p>
<p>Your mission is to infiltrate the heavily guarded Nazi stronghold and recapture the Spear from an already unbalanced Hitler. The loss of his most coveted weapon could push him over the edge. It could also get you ripped to pieces.</p>
<p><em>Spear of Destiny</em> is a prequel to <a href="/search/?q=Wolf3D">Wolfenstein 3-D</a>. It is a first-person shooter that uses the same engine and has the same gameplay, however the game is not divided into 6 separate episodes - all the levels are one long episode. </p>
<p>The enemies and weapons are pretty much the same as in <em>Wolfenstein 3-D</em>. Only new additions include: new bosses, a new type of enemy, and a new pickup (a large box of ammo).</p>

<p>In this WW2 combat simulation one or two players can take command of one of three different sets of naval vessels. German U-boats, U.S. destroyers or Allied merchant ships are there, waiting for the right commands. They operate in small groups, just as the real things did in WW2. Full status screens tell you what state your boat is in at any time. It's possible to play one of the twelve built-in scenarios or an self-created scenario. The game has no career mode.</p>

<p>A fish and aquarium simulator, <i>El-Fish</i> lets your catch, breed, evolve, and even mutate tropical fish, then render them and let them loose in an aquarium that you design.</p>
<p>Except for a few pre-canned graphics and animations, all fish, plants, and even backdrops and floor gravel in El-Fish are generated by the user using genetic algorithms that simulate real life in both appearance and movement.  Even the music you want to play in the background can be generated with one of eight musical styles.</p>

<p>As a detective, the player must hunt down Carmen Sandiego's henchmen, who have stolen outrageous items that are important in US history and heritage.  Using clues, the player will follow the henchmen from city to city.</p>

<p>Indiana Jones is back! The great archaeologist and adventurer has to solve a grand mystery once again, aided by his trusty whip, his sharp wit, and his courage. A man who calls himself Mr. Smith is interested in a certain ancient statue. When the unsuspecting Indy hands it over to the client, he finds out that Mr. Smith is in fact a colonel in the Nazi army! Why was he so interested in that statue? A young woman who had once worked together with Indy, the pretty red-haired (and a bit troublesome) Sophia, tells him the whole thing must have a connection with the legendary lost continent Atlantis. Gathering clues from all over the world, Indy and Sophia embark on a grand journey across the globe.</p>
<p><em>Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis</em> is a puzzle-solving adventure game conceived in the spirit of <em>Indiana Jones</em> movies; however, it is not based on a specific movie, introducing a new, independent story. The game utilizes LucasArts' SCUMM system, with action verbs the player chooses from a menu; objects that can be interacted with are highlighted. The game contains many puzzles of various kinds (mostly inventory-based) and dialogues with multiple choices. There are also a few simple hand-to-hand fights against the Nazis, some of which can be avoided.</p>
<p>The middle part of the game can be played in three "modes": co-operation (Indy and Sophia), adventure (Indy alone), and action (Indy alone, with fewer puzzles and more action). In each mode, there are different locations to visit, different puzzles to solve, and different characters to meet. The CD version of the game adds voice-overs to all the conversations.</p>

<p>When humans finally managed to colonize the planet Venus, they discovered a gigantic system of artificial underground tunnels there. It is assumed that a highly advanced alien race known as Heechee has constructed those tunnels thousands of years ago. Eventually, an abandoned, yet fully functional Heechee spaceship is discovered. One of the explorers boards it, which leads humanity towards the discovery of a space station with many similar ships - all with coordinates of unknown planets already punched in. This station becomes known as the Gateway, being humanity's only connecting point to the rest of the universe.</p>
<p>Since traveling to the potentially dangerous destinations involves a great deal of risk, only some particularly courageous (or perhaps reckless) adventurers, called "prospectors", volunteered to go on these journeys. The protagonist of the game is one of those prospectors, having won the membership alongside a small sum of money and a one-way ticket to the Gateway. Eventually, he discovers an ancient device that contain a warning against a mysterious alien species known as Assassins - and the prospector is entrusted with the task of protecting the humans from that threat.</p>
<p><em>Gateway</em> is a text adventure with graphics, based on the Heechee universe books by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/526258/frederik-pohl/">Frederik Pohl</a>. It is identical in interface and general concept to Legend's other text-driven adventures (such as the <a href="/search/?q=spellcasting">Spellcasting</a> series): the player may opt for text-only input as well as selecting verbs from a list. Clicking on objects or characters within the graphical representation of the location provides a text description. Puzzles are mostly inventory-based, though there are logic-related tasks as well. The player character explores various planets during the course of the journey. In a few cases, it is possible to die in the game.</p>

<p>A huge, strangely shaped object was spotted just outside the orbit of Pluto. Scientists dub this object "The Artifact", assuming it to be a spaceship possibly connected to the mysterious alien race, the Heechee, who have disappeared without a trace, leaving only ships with cryptic destinations behind. Meanwhile, a terrorist sect is planning to use The Artifact to lure in the Assassins, an alien community bent on destroying other species. Eventually, a sole explorer reaches the enigmatic ship, only to discover traces of former Gateway prospectors . This leads him to believe that something might be malfunctioning at the very core of the Heechee civilization.</p>
<p><em>Gateway II: Homeworld</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/317/frederik-pohls-gateway/">Gateway</a>. It is the last adventure game by Legend Entertainment to use text-based input, after <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/319/companions-of-xanth/">Companions of Xanth</a> introduced a purely graphical engine. Its interface is identical to that of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/431/eric-the-unready/">Eric the Unready</a>: while most commands can be either typed in or selected from a list combining verbs and available objects, conversations with characters are handled by choosing pre-set topics and displayed on separate screens. The game also features some animated cutscenes.</p>

<p>Two otherworldly and all-powerful demons are competing with two unwitting human champions over the future of the magical realm of Xanth. One of these unlikely champions is Dug Mundane, a young lad from our world who has just broken up with his girlfriend Pia. His friend Edsel sends him a computer game, betting that if Dug ends up liking it he'll forfeit his attempts to win Pia's heart back. However, when Dug puts the game disk into his computer, he is teleported to Xanth, where his adventures begin.</p>
<p><em>Companions of Xanth</em> is an adaptation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/17244/piers-anthony/">Piers Anthony</a>'s fantasy novel <em>Demons Don't Dream</em> (included in some releases), taking place in his mystical and punny world of Xanth. Unlike <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/20792/legend/">Legend</a>'s previous parser-based adventures, this one is fully mouse-controlled. Commands such as "take", "give to", "listen", etc. are on the left of the screen; directional icons and an inventory are at the bottom, with an illustration of the current location taking up over half of the screen. The gameplay relies mostly on inventory-based puzzles, with many solutions involving puns. </p>
<p>Besides puzzle-solving, there are also branching conversations with the various characters populating the world. The game is divided into several areas; some are interconnected, while others become unavailable for exploration as the plot advances. It is possible to die in the game, though the player is allowed to undo his last move if that happens. There are also a few instances of getting irrevocably stuck if the player failed to pick up a crucial item in an earlier area. Although the game invites the player to pick up a companion in the beginning, only one choice is correct, while others lead to a premature end of the game. The chosen companion can be talked to most of the time and provides hints and solutions to some puzzles.</p>

<p>This is a Formula One simulation similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2071/world-circuit/">World Circuit / Formula One Grand Prix</a>, including the real teams and cars, 16 different Grand Prix courses and a track editor. The player can drive for one of five real Formula One teams in a single race or in a complete season. The car setup must be modified to gain maximum performance, and realistic weather effects must be dealt with. There are fly-by style views of each course, and full control over the location of the camera positions and angles.</p>

<p>The year is 1953. When Steve Mason awakens in the quiet North American town called Harvest, he cannot remember anything. People claim to know him and even to be related to him, but he does not recall their names. As he explores the strange town, he encounters more and more eccentric people, whose behavior is difficult to explain. Everyone keep telling him that he should join the Lodge, the headquarters of the mysterious Order of the Harvest Moon. Steve is determined to find out the truth about the town and about himself, but he doesn't know that this truth is more horrifying than he could have ever imagined...</p>
<p><em>Harvester</em> is essentially a point-and-click, puzzle-solving adventure game. Though a weapon-shaped icon allows the player to attack characters, this can only be done as a solution to a puzzle, in order to advance the game's plot at specific points. The largest bulk of the gameplay is dedicated to traditional adventure activities: talking to characters and manipulating inventory items to solve puzzles. "Hot spots" indicate interaction possibilities, as in most adventure games of that period. The game features video cut scenes with live actors; for gameplay portions, digitized animations of the actors are super-imposed over pre-rendered background graphics.</p>

<p>Jeremy Hartwood has committed suicide in his Louisiana mansion, Derceto. You take the role of either Edward Carnby, a private investigator, or Emily Hartwood, Jeremy's niece, and investigate the suspicious death. The three-floor mansion is reputed to be haunted by its eccentric past owner. Very quickly, you realise that it is. Warped rats, zombies, and giant worms are among the foes who are after you, and you must somehow escape. </p>
<p><em>Alone in the Dark</em> is an action-adventure survival horror game. The action is displayed from a number of fixed viewpoints. The backgrounds are 2D painted images, while the player character, all items, and monsters are rendered as 3D models. </p>
<p>To escape the mansion, you'll have to solve a number of puzzles. They usually involve finding an item and using it in a proper place. Apart from items necessary for the puzzles, you can also find books and documents that can be read, healing items which can be consumed to restore hit points, and weapons. </p>
<p>Weapons come in handy since Derceto is full of various monsters. Some monsters can be killed with weapons, but others are either impossible to kill or require a bit of thinking to take down. Note also that you have limited amounts of ammunition, so you have to use firearms carefully.</p>

<p><em>Stunts</em> (<em>4D Sports Driving</em> outside of US) is a 3D car racing simulation that puts emphasis on the on racing on stunt tracks. The game contains a variety of cars, courses and opponents to choose from (who represent a difficulty level). The game provides unusual stunt objects including loops, corkscrews and jumps. Race tracks contain three types of surfaces: paved road, gravel road and ice. Each of them offer different grip and traction. There is also grass and water that surround roads. The former slows down the car and the latter is lethal and the car instantly crashes. It is possible to watch races in instant replay from different camera angles. A track editor is included as well.</p>

<p>A flight simulator featuring three different planes, over 100 different airports and maps for major U.S. cities.  Microsoft Flight Simulator also includes formation flying, a NAV system and a few other bells and whistles.</p>

<p><em>Gunship</em> depicts one of the Western world's finest attack helicopters: The AH-64A Apache. This simulation recreates the weapons, flight systems, and performance of the real machine. The player controls an arsenal that includes laser-guided Hellfire missiles, a 30mm cannon controlled by helmet gunsights, clusters of bombardment rockets--even air-to-air missiles for duels with enemy helicopters.</p>
<p>The game starts with flight training at a base in the United States. Tutorials teach the player to handle the copter; once the controls and flying skills are mastered, there are escalating challenges and hundreds of missions in any one of four regions of the world, including Southeast Asia, Central America, the Middle East, and the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies in Western Europe.</p>

<p><em>Command &amp; Conquer</em> develops ideas from Westwood's previous game <a href="/search/?q=Dune+2">Dune 2</a>, forming a real-time strategy (RTS) game. The control system involves selecting units with the mouse and then directing them, while the opponents make their moves without waiting for a "turn" to end.</p>
<p>The game focuses on a war between two organizations, The Brotherhood of Nod and the Global Defense Initiative. The player can take control of either side for more than 15 missions. Both have different units and structures, including artillery, tanks and light infantry.</p>
<p>In most missions, a base needs to be built first in order to build new units and structures. Most important are the harvesters, which collect Tiberium and deliver it to a refinery, where it's converted into money, thus funding the construction of a base and an army.</p>
<p>The game also features FMV mission briefings and victory cutscenes.</p>

<p><em>Worms</em> is a turn-based strategy game. It features up to 4 teams of 4 worms, aiming to destroy the others on a generated terrain. Each worm has 100 hitpoints and dies when his hit points fall to 0. Upon death, a worm explodes, causing damage to everyone around.</p>
<p>Gameplay is turn-based. Each turn, the player can control one specific worm from his team. The worm can crawl left and right or jump. However, there is a time limit to make a move; also, if the worm falls from a great height, it loses health and the turn ends immediately; and if a worm falls into water or offscreen, it dies. Each turn, a worm can also make a single attack: the player can aim up and down, choose a weapon and then fire it. After attacking, the turn ends. </p>
<p>There are a lot of weapons available - the standard ones as bazookas (which are affected by the (random) wind settings and gravity) and grenades. The others include a Fire Punch, dynamite, airstrikes, and utilities such as ropes and girders.</p>
<p>There are 10 styles of terrain, ranging from forests and deserts to Candy land and the moon (complete with affected gravity). Shots leave craters in the ground, and complex tunnels can be formed.</p>

<p>In the near future, the military has created an advance computerized combat simulation, which allowed participants to be trained in various forms of combat throughout human history. However, a programmer working for a corporation that seeks the downfall of the simulation developers infects the system with a virus. This virus creates a dimensional vortex that threatens to swallow the entire world. Stanley Opar, a member of S.A.V.E (Special Action for Virus Elimination) enters the vortex with one goal: destroy the virus before the universe ceases to exist.</p>
<p><em>Time Commando</em> is an action game with light puzzle-solving elements. The player character travels to eight different time periods: Prehistoric, Roman Empire, Feudal Japan, Medieval, Conquistador, Wild West, Modern Wars, and Future. Each era has its own characteristic enemies and sets of weapons: for example, Stanley fights with rocks and bone knives in the Prehistoric era, switching to shurikens and katanas in Japan, revolvers and shotguns in the Wild West, laser pistols in the future, etc. </p>
<p>Most of the time in the game is spent fighting enemies. Character navigation and combat resemble those of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/325/alone-in-the-dark/">Alone in the Dark</a>. The navigation is character- rather than camera-based, similarly to survival horror games. During combat, Stanley has three attack moves at his disposal, as well as a blocking move. Part of the challenge relies on choosing the right weapons against particular enemies. </p>
<p>Stanley starts with a small life bar that can be increased by picking up life power-ups, as well as multiple lives. Time limit is imposed on each level. To lower the countdown, the player has to deposit computer chips collected throughout the levels in special orb pools. The game utilizes animated pre-rendered sequences to represent locations, and polygonal models for the characters.</p>

<p>Christopher Blair, "Heart of the Tiger" had retired to a farming planet after the war, content with retirement, so he says... In the depths of space, a new menace has surfaced. Some unknown attackers are killing civilian ships. The tension between the Confederation and the Border Worlds is at an all time high, as both sides accuse the other of staging the attacks. Admiral Tolwyn has recalled Blair back to service, where he will make the most difficult choice of all... And contemplate action he had never dared before, in the name of justice...</p>
<p><em>Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom</em> is a mix of interactive movie and space sim. The game has a dynamic mission tree, which means the player's behaviour will determine the next mission. The videos feature real actors, like <a href="/search/?q=Mark+Hamill">Mark Hamill</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/16469/thomas-f-wilson/">Tom Wilson</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/2015/john-rhys-davies/">John Rhys-Davies</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/2014/malcolm-mcdowell/">Malcolm McDowell</a>. Before the start of each mission, the space craft can be equipped with different weapons. Sometimes the mission objectives change during flight, and the player has to make decisions what he wants to do next, e.g. help out his friend or destroy an enemy fighter.</p>

<p>In this 3D shoot 'em up,  you play Kurt, and your job is to save the world. Aliens have sent 8 giant fortresses to destroy earth. You run and jump through 6 missions of strange 3D worlds and kill the "Stream Riders" with your machine gun arm. Precise platform jumps are part of the challenge.</p>
<p>Kurt is equipped with a special battle suit with an included parachute and a sniper interface (allowing you to aim precise shooting while standing still) embedded in your helmet. Further weaponry enhancements are available as you progress through the game.</p>

<p><em>Z</em> is a real-time strategy game in which you fight for control of the sectors, some of which contains manufactories that can gain you additional units. Touch the "flag" in the sector and it's yours. Capture the sector before the new unit comes out of the manufactory and the new unit is yours. With six different robots (different armaments, armor, and speed), multiple vehicles (from jeeps to tanks) the robots can utilize, your ultimate objective is to destroy the opponent's base, and prevent him from doing the same to you.</p>
<p>The game differs from many other RTSs by emphasizing territorial control (and the manufactories) instead of getting kills and gathering a big army. You have to finely balance defense and offense. If you wait too long, the enemy will grab all the manufactories first. If you go too fast, you'll get hammered for stretching yourself too thin. You can hijack enemy vehicles by shooting the driver off. If you send a group of soldiers toward an objective and they find a vehicle, one of them will split off to grab the vehicle; you don't really need to micromanage each soldier.</p>

<p>Lara Croft is a Tomb Raider, an archaeologist who explores ancient sites in search of valuable artifacts, who is hired to retrieve an artifact from a tomb in Peru, which turns out to be one of three parts of the Atlantean Scion. Soon betrayed by her employer, Lara Croft travels to Greece, Rome and Egypt to recover the other parts before this powerful device falls into the wrong hands.</p>
<p><em>Tomb Raider</em> is a 3D action game with platforming and puzzle-solving elements, in which players control Lara Croft from a third-person perspective. The camera follows Lara as she climbs, jumps, and swims through detailed environs overcoming environmental obstacles and deadly fauna. Moving through levels often involves finding spots where Lara can climb, looking for spots where Lara can use her acrobatic ability, and sliding blocks and pushing levers to solve puzzles and open passageways.</p>
<p>Lara is armed with twin pistols with infinite ammunition, but she can pick up higher caliber weapons to take on deadlier human opponents. Lara also comes across restorative health packs and has a compass with which she can orient herself. Lara’s opponents include animals, gunmen, as well as primeval and supernatural beings. Careful explorers can also find secret areas and avoid traps.</p>

<p>Things have not gone well since the last Alien War. The world resources have been exhausted, and most of the population have been concentrated into the last hope: Mega-Primus, a self-sufficient city. Things are starting look good until a strange portal opened in the sky, and UFOs emerged from it. It seems that the X-COM is needed again.</p>
<p><em>X-COM: Apocalypse</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/543/x-com-terror-from-the-deep/">X-COM: Terror from the Deep</a>, and is the third entry in the <em>X-COM</em> series. It is a real-time / turn-based strategy game that features a mix of research, resource management, macro tactical combat, and micro tactical combat. At the city screen, the player controls vehicles to engage the threats (everything from rival factions to alien UFOs). If a UFO has landed or infiltration has been reported, the vehicles will land/dock at the infestation site and engage in tactical combat with the equipment at hand. Once the player managed to capture aliens and alien equipment, the scientists can research and perhaps even copy them for the player's use. </p>
<p>The player will also need to balance the budget as everything costs money, from agents to equipment. The various human factions must be kept happy, otherwise they might turn against the X-COM. The player must hire recruits, buy weapons, ammo, and equipment to outfit his squads in the vehicles (including weapons on the vehicles and their ammo). The management mode for tracking down UFOs is called the Cityscape; combat takes place in a separate environment, the Battlescape, where the player engages the individual aliens that managed to escape. </p>
<p>Differences from the previous games in the series include reworked graphics, larger maps, a more complex world, and the possibility of choosing between real-time or turn-based tactical combat. Also, instead of just engaging aliens, the player will also have to deal with multiple human factions, from a cult that worships alien invaders to gangs, from industrial giants to security forces.</p>

<p>It's the year 2140, earth is almost completely destroyed after numerous wars and environmental catastrophes, and the people primarily live underground. The two enemy parties are the United Civilized States and the Eurasian Dynasty. In this RTS game, both are trying to conquer as much land as possible.</p>
<p><em>Earth 2140</em>'s game concepts overlap with those of <a href="/search/?q=Command+Conquer">the Command &amp; Conquer lineage</a> - mine resources, build units, and send them into battle with an enemy which must be tracked down. The two sides have different units, with the UCS advantaged by its Mercs and robotic infantry. There are cinematic cutscenes for each mission</p>

<p><em>Frontier: First Encounters</em> is the third part of <a href="/search/?q=elite-series"> Elite</a> series. You are a space pirate and you fly around through the universe in your space craft to fulfill different missions. You can also earn money by trading cargo with other races.</p>

<p>Joe King is the hero of this point and click adventure. His plane is carrying actress Faye Russell when it crash lands in a remote jungle, and he must battle through 100 screens of adventure and puzzle. The game's feel is influenced by hammy B-movies, and the characters are quite stereotyped and comic. As standard in point and click adventures, a set of icons at the bottom of the screen allow you to interact with visible characters and items in the main view area.</p>

<p>A group of scientists discovers an asteroid that is on its way to a collision with the Earth. Is there any way to prevent the disaster? Boston Low, a NASA veteran, is sent to command a space expedition on the asteroid. Accompanied by the journalist Maggie Robbins and the archaeologist Brink, Boston investigates the asteroid and finds a strange structure that undoubtedly belongs to an alien civilization. During the course of investigations, the team finds itself on a seemingly deserted planet. They have no knowledge of the planet and no possibility of going back. Will they ever discover the secret of this strange world and find a way to get home?</p>
<p><em>The Dig</em> is a point-and-click adventure game with a simple one-cursor interface. Most of the puzzles are inventory-based, tending to be somewhat more complex than in most preceding LucasArts' adventure games. There are also a few logic-based puzzles, which require understanding and manipulation of alien technology and life forms on the planet. Traditional branching dialogue system is utilized; however, the game focuses more on puzzle-solving than on conversations to advance the plot. </p>
<p>The game's story is influenced by science fiction literature and movies, and strives to be realistic, departing from the comedy style of LucasArts' adventures. Despite that, humorous elements are present in some of the dialogues and text descriptions. The game utilizes hand-drawn graphics with a few pre-rendered 3D images.</p>

<p><em>Magic Carpet</em> is a first-person perspective game, in which you are a mage who flies on a, well, magic carpet and casts spells. The game has 50 levels, called "worlds"; each of those is set in a sea terrain with several mountainous islands. Your goal on each level is to amass enough mana within your castle to "restore the equilibrium" within the world. Once this happens, you can head to the next level. </p>
<p>To collect mana, you have to find it (it is represented by golden spheres) and cast a specific spell to make it "yours". To collect this mana, you have to use a special spell to raise a castle of your own out of the ground. A balloon will appear over the newly created castle; it will proceed to fly around the level and collect "your" mana. Initially, your castle will be small and won't be able to hold much mana, so you'll have to keep casting the "castle" spell at it to make it bigger. </p>
<p>The levels typically have monsters and rival mages in them. Not only they can hurt you with their attacks, but killing them is often necessary, as upon death they will release some of the mana you need to complete the level. To attack your enemies, you have a variety of spells at your disposal: fireballs, lightning bolts and meteors. </p>
<p>There are also many other spells available to you - they allow you to heal yourself, surround yourself with a protective shield, teleport around, summon a skeleton army, or even modify the terrain by creating volcanoes and splitting landmasses. Not all spells are available to you from the beginning, though. </p>
<p>Throughout all the levels, you are on your flying carpet, which can move in 3 dimensions. You can bring up a top-down map at any time.</p>

<p>It's the Final Four, and you can lead your team to the NCAA Championship. You can customize players and create new ones.</p>

<p><em>Privateer 2: The Darkening</em> is a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/611/wing-commander-privateer/">Wing Commander: Privateer</a>. The player takes control of Ser Lev Arris, who is searching to regain his identity and memory. Like its predecessors, the game combines space combat simulation with exploration and trading. Along the way, the player can trade commodities, go on missions, attack strange mutants, rescue damsels in distress, meet weird characters, and visit unusual planets. It is possible to hire wingmen and cargo ships, as well as upgrade the current ship or buy new ones. Live-action movies advance the story.</p>

<p>Aliens have landed in futuristic Los Angeles and it's up to the Duke to bring the pain and show them the door. After the initial entries of side-scrolling platform games, <em>Duke Nukem 3D</em> introduces a first-person perspective to the series and turns the game into a full-fledged shooter with 2.5D graphics.</p>
<p>Duke's arsenal includes pistols, pipe bombs, laser trip mines, Nordenfelt guns, a chain gun and various rocket launchers, but also his mighty foot to kick enemies. The game sports a high level of interactivity. Many objects in the environment can be broken or interacted with, such as pool tables, arcade machines, glass, light switches and security cameras. The protagonist is also able to hand strippers dollars to have them remove their top.</p>
<p>The main character regularly delivers commentary on the events through one-liners. There are twenty-eight levels, divided over three episodes, set in locations such as streets, a church, a space station, a Japanese villa, a football field and many modern environments. Enemies mainly include aliens, mutated humans and members of the police force that have been turned into Pig Cops. Next to weapons, Duke also has access to medikits, steroids to enhance his speed, night vision, protective boots, a hologram known as the "holoduke", and a jetpack to reach higher areas. Most of the gameplay is action-oriented, but there is also an amount of puzzles needed to progress or access secret areas.</p>
<p>The game includes network play through the IPX protocol, for deathmatch and cooperative games.</p>
<p>While the port for the Sega Saturn features, among other things, a new secret level called Area 51, the Sony PlayStation version adds a whole new 7 level long episode called Plug 'N' Pray with new enemies and rearranged music.</p>

<p><em>Sid Meier's Colonization</em> is a strategy game which puts you in the role of Viceroy of the New World. You are sent by your King and country to establish colonies in the newly-discovered Americas that lie to the west. You face many of the same challenges that faced colonial organizers of the time-competition
from other Old World powers, strange native cultures, the problems of establishing profitable trade programs, and the problems of organizing an army from a rag-tag band of colonists.</p>
<p>The game begins with the European discovery of the Americas (1500) and continues until approximately the time of the American
Revolution (1800). In the beginning of the game you are given a trading/exploration ship and a small group of colonists. You have no knowledge of what lies ahead of your ship, so you must explore until you find a suitable spot to lay down your first colony. As your
colonies grow larger and larger, you inevitably encounter native populations and are confronted with competing imperial powers from the Old World.</p>
<p>Each of your colonies is populated by a number of colonists, who you can assign to various tasks. Some chop wood, mine for ore and collect plants outside the colony, some others stay inside to turn those raw materials into more valuable cargo - such as rum (made from sugar), coats (made of furs) or hammers (made of lumber). Hammers which aren't a cargo you can sell, but represent the speed with which you construct new buildings in your colony. Some colonists are specialists, and thus are more effective at a certain job. </p>
<p>The cargo you collect and produce is an important thing. You can take it to Europe to sell, and earn money to buy some other necessary things, hire colonists (though new, willing colonists appear in Europe by themselves) or buy ships and artillery. You can also trade it with the Indians or colonies of other nations. </p>
<p>You'll construct various buildings in your colonies. They have a lot of different functions: some of them can improve the speed with which you produce valuable cargo, others allow you to defend yourself from attacks more easily or construct ships and artillery. Some buildings require you to spend a number of valuable Tools when constructed, though you can make new Tools out of ore. </p>
<p>As you explore the land, you'll come across the Indian villages and some "places of interest" which can be investigated. A colonist that enters an Indian village can be welcomed with open hands, and the natives will reveal a map of nearby lands, or teach him a profession. Investigating places of interest has various consequences: sometimes you'll find nothing, sometimes you'll be killed for trespassing on ancient burial ground, but sometimes you'll find treasure! (Taking this treasure to Europe can be difficult though - if you don't have a sufficiently big ship, the King will agree to transport it for you... if you give him 50% of the gold). </p>
<p>To defend yourself from enemies, you'll want to have some military units. Just give a colonist a musket and he'll turn into a Soldier, give him a horse, and he's a Scout or a Dragoon. However, such a warrior is typically inexperienced, though he might gain military experience in battle. Artillery is also good at defense, but don't try to leave your colonies with it - in the open field, it is useless. </p>
<p>As you progress in the game, you'll feel that working for the King is getting more and more annoying, especially since he keeps raising your taxes, thus decreasing your income from sold goods. Your colonies produce "Liberty Bells", which increase rebel sentiment in the colonies. If the majority of colonists supports your yearning for freedom, you can declare independence. But when you do that, you'll have to deal with the King's expeditionary force arriving to teach you a lesson. If you manage to defeat all his incoming armies and emerge victorious from the American Revolutionary War, you've won!</p>

<p><em>Carmageddon</em> is a violent car racing game where the racing element can be equally important as wrecking opponents' cars or gathering kills by ramming into pedestrians. At the beginning the player has only one car and is ranked at #99. The overall objective is to race all the way to the top, collecting the opponents' cars on the way as trophies (and possibly replacements to one's vehicle). In the race itself the player tries to damage opponents by driving into them, and can also kill pedestrians.</p>
<p>Damage, kills and spectacular moves earn credits for upgrades and even making repairs to the car at anytime during the race. If a specific opponent's car is wrecked multiple times in successive races, it is added to the choice of available vehicles. There are many power-ups strewn around the courses that range from useful (more speed, instant brake) to fun and downright absurd. Though the player can win a race by finishing first, wrecking everything in sight is encouraged. The game offers open environments where exploration away from the racing course is encouraged.</p>

<p><em>Jones in the Fast Lane</em> is a simulation of a person's life, presented as a turn-based strategy game. You can play by yourself, or compete with other human players or the computer-controlled Jones. At the beginning of the game you determine what your goals are, in four categories - Money, Happiness, Education and Career: the higher your goals, the longer the game. </p>
<p>The game itself is presented as something akin to a board game. The board represents the city where you live. Each turn (here, a turn represents a week of your life) you have limited time to act, and you have to choose how to spend it. Walking somewhere else costs you time, as well as working, learning, and looking for a job. </p>
<p>The first thing you should do is looking for a job at an employment center. Since initially you have no education, experience or work history, you can only choose the simplest, lowest-paying jobs - such as a janitor or a cook. Later on, as you enroll into various courses at an university, you'll get smart enough to get the high-ranking jobs. But remember that some jobs require you to buy and wear expensive clothes. </p>
<p>Work isn't mandatory, and you can dedicate time to working whenever you feel like it. The money you get can be spent in many ways. You can buy a snack at a fast food restaurant (you should eat something each week, or next week you'll have less time due to hunger). You can buy some appliances for your house, lottery tickets, newspapers and more. You can also store your money in the bank (a wise choice, considering the ubiquity of pickpockets) or invest into stock market. Remember that you have to pay rent for your house - if you don't pay for a long time, your landlord will garnish some amount from the money you earn at work. But if you get enough cash, you can rent a luxury apartment and move out of the stinky hole inside which you've been spending your life earlier!</p>

<p>The Kingdom of Azeroth was relatively peaceful and ruled by King Llane. That was until a powerful mage named Medivh commanded forces that opened up a portal in the Swamp of Sorrow, leading to another world. This ushered in the Age of Chaos, as Orcs were summoned to this world and attempted to establish an empire. As the Orcish hordes swarmed from the portal, they met with the Humans of Azeroth and battles ensured. Peaceful co-existence is not an option. Only one race will attain dominance over the land.</p>
<p><em>Warcraft: Orcs &amp; Humans</em> is the first real-time fantasy strategy game from <a href="/search/?q=Blizzard"> Blizzard Entertainment</a>. By playing either the Humans or the Orcs in this saga, two separate story lines evolve with 12 scenarios per side telling the tale of the battle for Azeroth. Players must mine gold and chop wood in order to construct buildings and create new units. From swords to sorcery, all the elements of classic fantasy are here to explore: rich forests, dark dungeons and bubbling swamps await the stalwart troops amassed to fight for dominance. Command many unique armies and creatures including Knights, Archers, Clerics, Warlocks, Daemons, Elementals, and Necromancers who are able to raise the dead.</p>
<p>The multiplayer aspects of the game allow 2 players to challenge one another on over 20 custom maps and determine who is the supreme warlord. Head to head play is supported over modem, serial link, and IPX networks, and works cross-platform between the IBM-PC and Macintosh versions.</p>

<p>An enemy with the codename ''Quake'', which is believed to come from another dimension, is using teleporter gates to invade Earth. The player takes the role of a nameless soldier who arrives at his base only to find out Quake has overrun it and killed everyone. Somewhere in the base, there must be a teleporter to Quake's realm. The mission is clear: take the fight to the enemy, overcome countless hordes of monsters, and exact revenge.</p>
<p>id Software's follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=DOOM">Doom</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=DOOM+II:+Hell+on+Earth">Doom II</a>, <em>Quake</em> is a first-person shooter. Its main technological innovation is the use of a true 3D engine - the levels themselves, as well as the enemies, are polygonal. This not only allows for more natural level-designs and character animations, but also for more realistic lighting and the inclusion of simulated physics that have an effect on gameplay: grenades can bounce off walls and around corners, for example.</p>
<p>In single-player mode, gameplay consists mainly of proceeding through the levels (spread over four distinct episodes) in search of an exit, killing everything that moves. Interaction with the game world is reduced to a minimum: since there is no use key, buttons are pressed by running into or shooting at them. As in id's earlier games, many secrets are waiting to be discovered, including a few hidden levels.</p>
<p>Unlike Doom's rather straightforward design that couples futuristic environments with demonic imagery, the theme of Quake's levels, enemies, and weapons is not so easily pinpointed. While each episode begins in a futuristic military base (with a technological 'slipgate' as the level exit), later levels take place in environments inspired by medieval fantasy and gothic horror (castles, dungeons, and caverns) and the player passes through magical portals to advance. In a departure from Doom's colorful environments, all Quake levels are dominated by earth colors.</p>
<p>The enemies conform to the mishmash of designs: there are human opponents armed with shotguns and energy weapons in the early levels, while the later levels include medieval knights, ghosts, zombies, ogres (armed with grenade launchers and chainsaws), and some more unearthly beasts. The player's weapons, while relatively modern, all have a low-tech feel. Besides a (bloodstained) axe, there are shotguns, nailguns, rocket and grenade launchers, and the Thunderbolt, which discharges electrical energy.</p>
<p><em>Quake</em> was one of the first games playable natively over the Internet in addition to LANs. The single-player levels can be played cooperatively, but the game is most famous for its deathmatch mode. One-on-one duels, team play, and free-for-all competition are possible. The emphasis is on fast reaction and skillful maneuvering through the levels. All of the single-player maps can be used as arenas, but the game also comes with six maps specially designed for deathmatch.</p>

<p>The follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/621/screamer/">Screamer</a> is an arcade-style racing game. Unlike its predecessor, it offers a more rally-oriented gameplay. The twelve selectable high-performance road cars of the previous game have been replaced with four rally cars. The game features an improved graphics engine (SVGA) and various tracks including England, Switzerland, Egypt, Colombia, and others. These tracks may be slippery or contain various obstacles and scenery objects such as birds, helicopters, cows, etc. Split-screen head-to-head competitive two-player mode is available.</p>

<p>Another game in Infogrames' line of <a href="/search/?q=Lovecraft">H. P. Lovecraft inspired games</a> started by <a href="/search/?q=Alone+in+the+Dark">Alone In the Dark</a>, <em>Prisoner of Ice</em> puts you in the role of Lt. Ryan, an American agent stationed aboard the submarine H.M.S. Victoria on a rescue mission to the Antarctic. The Victoria picks up two mysterious crates during the course of the rescue. Before you know it the Captain is eaten alive by the cargo, a horrific monster with whom you are trapped aboard the submarine. And that's just the start of your problems.</p>
<p><em>Prisoner of Ice</em> features a very simplified version of the classic adventure game interface, where you can left click with the cursor to operate an object or right click to look at it. The program won't let you do anything with these objects, other than the few appropriate actions needed to advance the game.</p>

<p><em>Deadline</em> is a tactical game with anti-terrorist themes and combined strategic planning / real-time action. It uses a third-person over-the top perspective much like the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=X-COM">X-COM</a>, except in real-time.</p>
<p>The game pits you against everything from fanatical cultists (some of whom you're supposed to save from themselves), drug dealers, escaped prisoners, and even a disgruntled MIT professor with a high powered rifle. But terrorists will be your primary opponents in the later missions.</p>
<p>Your goal is to rescue the hostages and neutralize the bad guys, but you're also supposed to avoid blood and death on all sides. This means that you're not allowed to drown your enemies in their own blood, and the majority of them must be captured alive for you to successfully complete the mission.</p>
<p><em>Deadline</em> also allows you to communicate with the terrorists (to a limited extent) through use of a vid-phone and negotiation mode. You can also dedicate time to research in order to get more information about the terrorists, hostages, location, etc. Each mission has an extensive history. But as the name of the game suggests there's a time limit and if you spend too much time twiddling your thumbs the hostages get executed and you're fired.</p>

<p>Larry Laffer is a short, tacky, balding, forty-year-old man who has been living with his mother until recently. He used to be in the software business, but decided to leave everything behind as he moved to the city of Lost Wages in pursuit of sexual fulfillment. Clad in a white polyester leisure suit, Larry finds himself outside of Lefty's Bar, determined to finally lose his virginity - or commit suicide if he is unable to achieve that goal before dawn.</p>
<p><em>Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards</em> is the first game in <a href="/search/?q=Al+Lowe">Al Lowe's</a> Leisure Suit Larry series, largely inspired by the text adventure <a href="/search/?q=Softporn+Adventure">Softporn Adventure</a>, though with a greatly enhanced script containing more humorous descriptions and dialogue. The gameplay is similar to other third-person Sierra adventures: a text parser is used to input commands for interaction with a graphical environment. Progress is achieved by collecting various items and figuring out which of those may be essential for conquering the hearts of the several female characters appearing in the game.</p>
<p>The game allows the player to access most of its locations (a bar, a casino, a convenience store, etc.) from the very beginning, with only a few key ones being barred due to the lack of a crucial item. Moving between some of the locations can only be done by cab. Paying for those trips, as well as procuring some of the items, requires the player to manage Larry's finance by gambling at the casino. Typical of Sierra games, progress is tracked through a set amount of points, awarded for advancement or minor actions. There are several ways to die in the game, most presented in a humorous fashion. The game contains adult situations and semi-implicit depictions of sex.</p>

<p>Based on the legendary <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/1238904/frank-herbert/">Frank Herbert</a> novel of the same name and visually inspired by the 1984 <a href="/search/?q=David+Lynch">David Lynch</a> movie, <em>Dune</em> is a strategy-adventure hybrid where the player takes the role of young Paul Atreides, the son of Duke Leto. The Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV has given the Atreides House the rights to manage the extraction of the most precious substance in the entire universe - the Melange, commonly known as Spice in the desolate desert planet Arrakis (Dune), the only place in the universe capable of producing the substance. While everything indicates the offer is a trap orchestrated by their enemies the Harkonnen, the Atreides family agrees on moving, as <em>he who controls the spice, controls the universe</em>.</p>
<p>The player arrives in Arrakis with the mission of contacting and convincing the Fremen tribes residing in sietches (desert settlements) near the Atreides palace to harvest the spice. Harvesting is the most important part of the game, required to purchase equipment from the smugglers and appease the emperor. To speed up the process of harvesting, the player can equip the tribes with harvesters to increase production and ornis to protect them from the gigantic protectors of the planet: Shai-Hulud - the sandworms. </p>
<p>However, the spice doesn't last forever and new sietches must be prospected before having a mining crew assigned, but the player cannot run Southwards forever, as the Harkonnen enemy controls the North of the Planet, dangerously close to the Atreides Palace. Soon after the initial batches are sent to the Emperor, the player will have to actively deal with the Harkonnen, who will try to take control of player Sietches. For those, Fremen tribes can be assigned to military training with Gurney Halleck, but before doing such work Paul must have a certain reputation, gained by the control of Arrakis.</p>
<p>As the game advances, the player will untap Paul's latent powers, as well as meeting other characters from the Dune universe, such as Duke Leto, Jessica, Thufir Hawat, Duncan Idaho, Harah, Chani, Stilgar and Liet Kynes, the mastermind behind the ecological plans on Dune - the ultimate goal.</p>

<p><em>Love for Sail!</em> is the sixth game in <a href="/search/?q=Al+Lowe">Al Lowe's</a> <em>Leisure Suit Larry</em> series. Larry unexpectedly receives a ticket to a cruise ship. Upon the arrival of the passengers, a mega-contest is announced. This contest includes various kinds of sports and activities, from bowling to love-making. The winner will get to "score" with the sexy Captain Thigh. Naturally, there is no way Larry can win this contest fairly, so he must use his brains to solve the tricky puzzles of the game, and cheat his way into the Captain's bed.</p>
<p>The game's structure is similar to that of its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/407/leisure-suit-larry-6-shape-up-or-slip-out/">predecessor</a>: the entire game takes place in a large enclosed area (in this case, the cruise ship), with the gameplay focusing on inventory-based puzzles and conversations. The game features a context-sensitive interface: clicking on an object brings forth a series of verbs which the player can choose in order to interact with the given object. In addition to that, it is possible to try and type any other verb (provided the game understands it), just like in old adventure games with text interface. Sometimes it is necessary to think outside of the box and come up with unusual actions in order to solve a puzzle.</p>
<p>Several new features have been added to the game, attempting to make players into more "active" participants of the playing process. Using a microphone, players can add their own voices, while using a scanner lets players insert their own photos into the game. Another feature that grabs attention is the automatic wallpaper. When Larry "scores" with a woman, that woman's image can be displayed as wallpaper on the Windows desktop.</p>

<p>Cricket. It's not a world wide sport and I have to say it can be pretty boring at times. However, it's one of those sports that's a bit more relaxing to watch. It's not like watching a football match (soccer American sports fans) where you're constantly in danger of a cardiac arrest because your team need one goal to stay in the Premier League. Cricket is a different kettle of fish all together. Cricket matches don't take hours, they take days. Cricket is all about sitting back and having a rest. </p>
<p>As is the nature of cricket, you'll either be batting or bowling. Batting is handled by the use of the directional keys and two fire button. Pressing various directions performs different shots.</p>
<p>To be honest, there seems to be a lot of luck involved. However, if you know your cricket then you'll love the attention to detail and will spend hours refining your batting skills.</p>

<p>In futuristic Australia, there are giant cities owned solely by corporations, separated by a giant wasteland known as The Gap. When Robert Foster's Gap-dwelling tribe is killed by soldiers from Union City who capture him, everything changes for him. After a narrow escape from the helicopter bringing him there as it inexplicably crashes, Robert and his droid Joey must search the decaying city, attempting to befriend both the snobby rich and the frustrated poor as the two attempt to get out of the city, but in the middle of everything they uncover the dark truth about LINC, the bizarre computer which makes the city tick.</p>
<p>The game uses the Virtual Theatre engine from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1134/lure-of-the-temptress/">Lure of the Temptress</a>, which allows its characters to move freely independent of the player's input, making the game world more dynamic than it is usually the case in comparable games. Otherwise, the engine provides traditional point-and-click adventure gameplay.</p>
<p>The iPhone version introduces a touch-based interface, new animated movies by <a href="/search/?q=Dave+Gibbons">Dave Gibbons</a>, a context-sensitive hint system and a remastered audio track.</p>

<p>Lo Wang has been working as a Shadow Warrior (a bodyguard and mercenary of sorts) for the powerful Zilla Corporation for years. But when he discovered the evil Zilla's plan to summon monsters from other dimensions and conquer the world, he left in disgust. Realizing that Lo Wang might jeopardize his plans, Zilla sends his assassins after him.</p>
<p><em>Shadow Warrior</em> is a first-person shooter similar in style and gameplay to <a href="/search/?q=Duke+Nukem+3D">Duke Nukem 3D</a>. The game set in a generic "Asialand", which looks like China and Japan conflated together. It features deliberately immature and politically incorrect humor, as well as a protagonist who delivers regular one-liners, commenting upon the situation at hand. Much of the humor is derived from over-the-top, stereotypical portrayals of Asian culture (e.g. scantily clad young women drawn in Japanese anime style). </p>
<p>The player has to complete several levels, fighting enemies and occasionally solving puzzles on the way. Though the game primarily focuses on exploration and combat, puzzle-solving plays a larger role than in most other contemporary shooters. There are also a few sequences that allow the player to drive vehicles, some of which have mounted weapons. Like <em>Duke Nukem 3D</em>, the game's environments are interactive, allowing the player to manipulate or destroy scenery and many objects, often revealing secret areas. On a technical side, the game introduces climbable ladders, true room-over-room situations, and voxels (instead of sprites) for weapons and inventory items.</p>
<p>Enemies include evil ninjas with various weapons, "coolies" which carry a crate of dynamite and blow themselves up when near the player character, female assassins with crossbows, and many more. To combat them, Lo Wang can use a variety of weapons and items. Weapons include: Lo Wang's fists, a katana, shuriken, a riot gun, an Uzi (two of which can be equipped and used at a time), a rocket launcher firing heat-seeking or nuclear missile, a grenade launcher, sticky bombs, a railgun, and even some enemy body parts. Many of these weapons have a secondary firing mode. Lo Wang can also find and use gadgets such as caltrops to leave in the enemies' way, or gas bombs to choke foes who happen to be near it.</p>

<p><em>Ken's Labyrinth</em> is a first-person 3D shooter. The protagonist has to escape from an underground labyrinth populated by monsters while trying to rescue his dog Sparky. The game plays similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a> and involves the protagonist traversing colorful maze-like areas, shooting monsters on the way with exotic weapons such as a bubble-gum gun. The game's stand-out feature are interactive elements: there are vending and slot machines in the stages which the player can interact with, as well as breakable walls.</p>

<p>It is the unimaginably distant year 2009. You are Nick Vrenna, falsely locked inside a high security prison. The genetic experiments conducted in the prison, combined with a full-scale riot that took place recently, caused all guards and inmates to be transformed into insane, aggressive mutants. Your job is to escape while stopping the genetic plague from transforming the whole world. </p>
<p><em>Abuse</em> is a side-scrolling platformer with a lot of shooting. It's a nonlinear game, as the levels often have a few exits that lead to different areas. Your character is a cyborg equipped with various weapons; initially, you only have a weak laser rifle with unlimited ammo, but you can find more powerful guns later on, such as grenade launchers, flamethrowers or lightsabers. You move through a building complex, fighting any enemies you might encounter on the way. The enemies are mostly the mutants, but also the defense systems (such as stationary missile launchers). </p>
<p>While you move with the keyboard, you can aim with your mouse, so you can shoot at any angle no matter what direction you are running. On your way, you'll find elevators, teleporters, cracked walls that can be destroyed and more. </p>
<p>Apart from ammo and health, you can also find upgrades which have a number of beneficial effect - increasing your running speed, for example.</p>

<p>This package allows users to create their own 3D worlds, using technology related to the <a href="/search/?q=Freescape">Freescape</a> universe seen in games such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2155/castle-master/">Castle Master</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Driller">Driller / Space Station Oblivion</a>. Pull-down menus allow objects to be created and positioned, with movement loops and simple animation defined. A network of rooms can be created.</p>
<p>A simple BASIC-style language is integrated to allow puzzles and conditions (open a door when a key is placed into it, for example). You can also include enemies who must be shot. At any moment you can enter the gameworld to test it.</p>

<p>In this game, the player is cast into the roles of Sherlock Holmes, the greatest fictional detective of all times, and his friend and partner Dr. Watson, as they have to investigate and successfully solve three criminal cases:<em> </em>The Mummy's Curse* deals with the horrifying death of three men, who were apparently murdered by an ancient mummy;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><em>The Mystified Murderess</em> involves a woman who has been convicted for murdering her beloved one, but cannot seem to recall anything of what had happened to her;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>The Tin Soldier</em> concerns the murder of an old general, whose past must be investigated in order to find the killer.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective</em> can be described as a hybrid of adventure game and simulation. Gameplay process involves traveling to various locations in London, interrogating suspects, gathering clues, checking out the newspapers, and eventually presenting all the evidence to the judge; if the latter finds the circumstances incriminating, he will accept the results of the investigation, and the case will be considered solved. Though the basic gameplay is rather typical for adventure games, the amount of real detective work and the focus of the game on purely case-related actions rather than exploration and manipulation of items makes it comparable to a simulation of a criminal investigation.</p>
<p>The game is notable for being one of the earliest "multimedia" titles, having been released on a CD ROM and featuring rather long (though windowed) video sequences with live actors as introductions and cutscenes, which frequently occur when the heroes investigate suspects.</p>

<p>A text-mode action/puzzle game, <em>ZZT</em> already comes with a variety of game worlds. However, the real appeal of this game is the level editor with its scripting capability, which allows the creation of an unlimited number of new scenarios, stories, characters, traps, machines, and anything else players can think of.</p>

<p><em>The Legend of Kyrandia</em> is the first in a trilogy of adventure games by <a href="/search/?q=Westwood">Westwood</a>. In this game the player controls Brandon, grandson of Kallak - a wizard of the realm of Kyrandia. Malcolm, a psychotic jester imprisoned in the past by Kallak, has broken free and wishes to take over the land as well as lay down his revenge. He turns Kallak into stone leaving him with only his eyes, so that Kallak is not denied his tears for Kyrandia's sake.</p>
<p>This is where Brandon steps in; returning home shortly afterwards only to find that his grandfather has been turned into stone, Brandon is being told by a messenger from the Realm of the Land that he has been chosen to embark on a journey that will rid this realm of Malcolm and his evil. He has to prove himself not only a hero, but a worthy heir to the crown and ultimately of becoming a king.</p>
<p>Throughout the journey Brandon will collect many items and also learn how to master magic. Available spells include disappearing, healing yourself, summoning ice upon fire and shifting into a wisp. Interaction with the environment is confined to highlighted items, and a single cursor is used for all actions, without differentiating precise commands.</p>

<p>Test drive ten of the best cars on ten varying tracks, from Monterey Raceway to a mall parking lot.  Game setup is in the format of the Car &amp; Driver magazine.  Race solo or against multiple cars, computer-controlled or via modem.  As with most racing games, includes replay with various camera angles.</p>

<p>In this converted Altair BASIC game, 2-4 players become stock market sharks, trying to amass a huge fortune by buying stock in interstellar shipping companies and increasing the wealth of the companies they own stock in.</p>

<p>WCS lets you design and play turn-based strategic battles. You can create scenarios in many different time periods including modern day, ancient times, 1800's, and in the future. You have complete control over all the units, and can customize their firepower, movement points, strength, aggressiveness, etc.</p>
<p>Supports 1 or 2 players. Comes with 8 pre-made scenarios.</p>

<p>Following on the popularity of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/287/wasteland/">Wasteland</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/2/electronic-arts-inc/">Electronic Arts</a> released this unofficial sequel, using a modified version of the Wasteland game engine.</p>
<p><em>Fountain of Dreams</em> takes place several decades after a nuclear bombardment has caused the state of Florida to break off from the mainland and become an isolated island community. The survivors of the war have split into several opposing factions, and life on the island of Florida is constantly threatened both by the ever present threat of radiation-induced mutation and by the Killer Clowns, a group of deranged and heavily armed marauders descended from circus performers stranded on the island by the war.</p>
<p>When the Clowns murder the only man with the knowledge to stop the spread of the mutation, it becomes your task to locate a cure to the mutation before it overtakes your group of survivors as well as what's left of humanity on the island.</p>

<p>Taking basketball out of poshly-decorated arenas with hotdog sellers, cheerleaders and pre-game entertainments, Epyx presented basketball played as it is by kids all over America. Four different courts are provided - the schoolyard, the alleyway, the parking lot and the backyard. Each of these has its own hazards to play around, such as oil slicks and potholes. The standard basketball dunks, passes and steals are on offer. An opposition player drilling the ball into you sees you gain possession.</p>
<p>One or two players can join in, choosing their team of 3 from the 10 kids you are offered, each with different abilities. There are 3 computer difficulty levels.</p>

<p>The year 1942 is the subject of many computer games that deal with World War II. The reason: this was the year that many pivotal battles were fought including Midway, Stalingrad, N. Africa, and... Guadalcanal. This game deals with the desperate battles fought in the Solomon Islands, specifically in and around the island of Guadalcanal, in which the Allies tried to stop the Japanese from their drive to Australia.  </p>
<p>In TF42, you can play as either the Americans or Japanese. All the major ships that participated are represented, including the infamous Yamato and devastating Iowa. It features individual historical battles, as well as the whole Guadalcanal Campaign.</p>
<p>The objective in the Campaign is to take over both bases on Guadalcanal, but as you are the Naval commander, you do not have direct control over the land battle. Your main objective is to keep the marines on Guadalcanal supplied and bring reinforcements to them, to shell the enemy base, and to stop the enemy from bringing supplies and reinforcements to their troops. These 3 tasks are accomplished by assigning the ships available to you into Task Forces and Task Groups, and send them on Patrol, Supply, and Bombard missions. More ships become available as time progresses.</p>
<p>The game has a strategic mode in which you can order your fleets around and monitor the overall situation, and a tactical mode in which two fleets meet and you can actually command the battle in real-time and "jump into" any ship and fire the guns or torpedos.</p>
<p>You also have air support. The planes can patrol or, if you have fighters/dive bombers/torp bombers available, attack enemy fleets! The air units and amounts of planes available to you change as they did in the actual war.</p>
<p>You can create your own "Dream Matchups": Yamato vs. Iowa; North Carolina vs. Nagato; A group of New Orleans Heavy Cruisers vs. small but fast and deadly torpedo-armed Japanese destroyers... all the ships are available.</p>

<p>It's all-out war in <em>Scorched Earth</em>, an artillery combat game. You and up to nine friends can duke it out on hills and in valleys as you nuke each other into submission in this turn-based tank battle.</p>
<p>At the start of each round, each player purchases their weaponry, and if they choose, shields and parachutes for defense and safety from long drops. Then it's off to battle! Aim your cannon, taking note of trajectory and wind, and fire off your weapons in attempt to take out the opposition.</p>
<p>The game offers a variety of weapons. A small sample of these include the standard nukes, which obliterate the screen. There's the Funky Bomb, which scatters smaller bombs in an unpredictable variety of directions. Or, if missiles aren't your thing, you can send your foes a personal gift of flaming napalm. There are also dirt bombs which can be used to bury opponents or yourself, for safety from opposing attacks.</p>
<p>One of the other features are the amusing quips displayed before a shot is fired, and when a tank is destroyed. These can even be added to by editing the files to give your threats a more personal flavor.</p>

<p>Bubble Ghost needs to blow a bubble out of his creator's castle. Your task is to guide him so as to direct the bubble through the gaps in each room. The bubble's direction is affected by which part of the ghost hits it.</p>
<p>Candles, fans, and other obstacles serve to make little Bubble Ghost's task harder. Bubble Ghost is invincible, but the bubble is prone to bursting if it hits anything at pace. You have five bubbles before the game is over.</p>

<p>In this strategy game, three to seven players (1-6 humans and at least one computer-controlled) compete to progress from tribe to clan to nation to empire.  </p>
<p>They will face not only each other, but also famine, plague, civil war, insurrection, and earthquakes.  To win, each player will build cities and fleets; do battle; form alliances; produce grain, metal, and trade goods; and barter.</p>
<p>Players must also choose a "basis of law" (Theocracy, Oligarchy, Utopia, or Khanate).  This choice will affect consumption rates, production, and battle strength.  It can also affect the probability and/or severity of the various disasters.  Khanates are nomadic raiders and have some slightly different rules from the other types.</p>
<p>Although the game is turn-based as far as each player giving movement commands, the execution of the commands is random.  After all players have entered their commands, the computer executes them in a random order.  In some cases, this can prevent another player's orders from being carried out.</p>
<p>In addition to the main game, players can also choose from two shorter scenarios.  The first is called Imperium.  In it, players just build cities and fleets and do not trade.  The winner is the player who defeats the others in battle.  The second scenario is Traders.  In this game, there is no movement or battle, just trade.  The first player to accumulate 1000 trade points wins.</p>
<p>The game is loosely based on the Civilization board game which was published by Avalon Hill.</p>

<p><em>Shape Up or Slip Out!</em> is the fifth game in <a href="/search/?q=Al+Lowe">Al Lowe's</a> <em>Leisure Suit Larry</em> series. All the events from the previous games are forgotten. Larry is once again single, and again his goal is to capture the interest of various ladies. By sheer coincidence, Larry finds himself on a TV Game Show called "Stallions". He wins a weekend at the Spa Resort, La Costa Lotta. Naturally, there are some beautiful women in the spa who are just dreaming about such a wonderful, handsome man as Larry! Uh... or is it really so? It is the player's goal to find out!</p>
<p>This installment focuses more on conversations with women and puzzles than on the storyline. The entire game is spent at La Costa Lotta. There are plenty of traditional inventory-based puzzles to solve in the game. Larry can die, but the player is allowed to try again every time that happens, without the need to restore a saved game. This is also the first Larry game with SVGA graphics, and voice-overs in the CD version.</p>

Leisure Suit Larry 5: Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work

<p><em>Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work!</em> is (despite the number) the fourth game in <a href="/search/?q=Al+Lowe">Al Lowe's</a> <em>Leisure Suit Larry</em> series. The middle-aged would-be-womanizer Larry Laffer fell off a boat during a cruise and sustained amnesia, forgetting how he and his sweetheart Patti got separated, how Larry got a job in LA, how Patti got a job with the FBI, and what happened in (the never released) <em>Larry 4</em>. Now Larry and Patti are working independently on two cases that are connected to each other, even though the heroes aren't aware of that. Larry's new bosses are involved in shady business, while Patti agrees to take a break from her career as a performing pianist and become an undercover agent. Will the two be together ever again?</p>
<p>Unlike the previous games with their text input, <em>Larry 5</em> utilizes a graphical, icon-based interface. The player uses verb commands ("Look", "Talk", "Use" etc.) to interact with the environment. In a way not quite typical for Sierra's adventure games, it is impossible to "die" in <em>Larry 5</em>, and the amount of "dead ends" (unwinnable situations) is greatly reduced. The game is also less puzzle-oriented, allowing the player to proceed even if he/she fails to solve the required puzzle in some cases. However, the player is awarded more points for finding the "right" solution. As in the <a href="/search/?q=Leisure+Suit+Larry+III:+Passionate+Patti+in+Pursuit+of+the+Pulsating+Pectorals!">third game</a>, both Larry and Patti are available as playable characters during different chapters of the story.</p>

Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (In Several Wrong Places)

<p><em>Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (In Several Wrong Places)</em> is the second game in <a href="/search/?q=Al+Lowe">Al Lowe's</a> <em>Leisure Suit Larry</em> series. Continuing the plot of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/379/leisure-suit-larry-in-the-land-of-the-lounge-lizards/">previous game</a>, the swinging single Larry Laffer has finally found his true love and is happily living with her. Right? Wrong!.. Because Larry is mercilessly thrown out by his great love and is left all alone, penniless, and womanless, in Los Angeles. Accidentally, Larry comes into contact with KGB agents who will pursue him all over the globe from now on. And there is also the evil doctor Noontonyt plotting evil schemes on a remote tropical island... Looks like Larry will have to forget about his women-related problems for now... or is it so?</p>
<p>The second game in the series introduces an improved engine (allowing for full-screen graphics and mouse control for movement). As opposed to the first game, which relied on exploration of one large area, the sequel has a more linear progression, the player being continuously taken to new locations as dictated by the plot. There are less puzzles in this installment than in the previous game; however, the number of ways to die has increased, danger awaiting Larry in most places he visits.</p>

<p>You play the role of a magician, who is called upon by the townspeople to defeat his ancient archrival Nemesis again.
After having defeated Nemesis in the past, his minions have erected a huge museleum in his honour, and as a result the townspeople are forced to live under a rule of horror. You must once again venture into the catacombs, defeat Nemesis and free the townspeople.</p>
<p><em>Catacomb Abyss</em> is a fantasy first-person shooter game. Similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3120/catacomb-3-d/">the previous game in the series</a>, it casts you as a mage who can fight enemies and destroy whole sections of walls thanks to the use of fireballs. You can find bolts and nukes, which make for more effective weapons but are one-use, healing potions, scrolls with hints, and keys. </p>
<p>However, unlike in <em>Catacomb 3-D</em>, where you spent the whole game inside a dungeon, here you'll explore various environments, both indoors and outdoors. There are new enemies to face, such as zombies that come from under the ground or skeletons that come out of walls. </p>
<p>New to the game is a radar which shows you the location of foes. However, you have to find gems of various colours to use it effectively; each gem allows you to see a specific type of enemy on the radar. There isn't a compass in the game, but various areas of the maps still have specific names.</p>

Leisure Suit Larry III: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals

<p><em>Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals!</em> is the third game in <a href="/search/?q=Al+Lowe">Al Lowe's</a> <em>Leisure Suit Larry</em> series. Larry Laffer has finally found the woman of his dreams, and can happily live with her together on the beautiful tropical island... until he gets thrown out of the house by his wife. His boss, who happens to be his (now ex-) father-in-law, fires him. Larry is all alone, without a woman, without a job, on an island that has long ceased to be a "tropical paradise" and is exploited by entertainers, lawyers, and alike. But never despair! Dressed in his irresistible leisure suit, Larry is about to conquer the world (or at least its female population) anew. Watch out, fairer sex, because Larry is back to his swinging self!</p>
<p>The game uses the same text-based interface and the same graphical engine as the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/409/leisure-suit-larry-goes-looking-for-love-in-several-wrong-places/">previous entry</a> in the series. The structure of the game, however, is more similar to that of the <a href="/search/?q=Leisure+Suit+Larry:+In+the+Land+of+the+Lounge+Lizards">first installment</a>: most of the time, the player is confined to one large area which can be freely explored. Unlike the two previous Larry games, the player does not just control Larry, but also - in the second half of the game - the enigmatic and beautiful pianist Patti, helping them to reach an ending that will finally bring happiness into Larry's life.</p>

<p><em>Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards</em> is a remake of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/379/leisure-suit-larry-in-the-land-of-the-lounge-lizards/">first game</a> in the Leisure Suit Larry series. It introduces a new interface. Instead of typing commands, the player performs the desired actions by choosing appropriate icons, and then clicking on objects on the screen to interact with them. The graphics are now 256 color VGA. There is also much more music than in the original version, and it supports more advanced sound formats.</p>

<p>Fight off a band of vandals and punks with your airplane before they reach your city.  One of the earliest shareware games, you pilot a prop plane that is represented in "3D" -- you can see (and manipulate) your plane in both the horizontal and vertical viewpoints.  Refuel with your blimp, but don't waste too much time...</p>

<p><em>Starball PC</em> is an odd pinball game based largely on the game called <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/53437/spaceball/">Spaceball</a> (named <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/53437/spaceball/">Starball</a> in the original German release) on the Atari ST.</p>
<p>While this game is a typical pinball, it also present many bizarre, innovative concepts. It consists of one huge table, which in turn consists of 3 main parts, each with its own set of flippers. Should your ball fall between the flippers it will drop to a lower level until finally you're at the bottom, and then you lose a life.</p>
<p>Each part of the table has its own quirks, secrets and purpose (for example, in the middle section you build a spaceship and have to protect it from two missile-firing guns on the right.</p>
<p>There are also hidden, or secret, stages in the game: one is an "egg" with four parts you have to crack, another is a breakout clone only with pinball mechanics and another is a bizarre "Doom pinball". There's also the ultra-secret (and very hard to get to) Llama pinball game.</p>

<p>In <em>Grand Theft Auto</em>, the player takes the role of a small-time criminal trying to make it big with the mob. Stealing cars, doing jobs for the gangsters and behaving generally anti-social are the way to success.</p>
<p>The action moves through six levels spread over three different cities, each based on a real US city: Liberty City (based on New York City), San Andreas (based on San Francisco) and Vice City (based on Miami). To finish a level, a certain score must be reached. Stealing cars and crashing into traffic, driving over pedestrians and killing cops all raise the score, but the 
big points are made through jobs. Answering phones or entering special cars brings mission assignments, from simple "ditch-a-hot-car" jobs to supporting bank robberies or carrying out assassinations. Completing a mission will raise the score substantially and also increase the score multiplier, so that completing the next felony will gain even more points.</p>
<p>Criminal behavior comes with a price of course: if policemen witness a crime, the player's wanted level rises. At the lowest level, a single police car might give chase, whereas at the highest level whole car squads hunt the player, the police set up roadblocks and shoot to kill. The only way to evade the cops is to find a respray shop and get a new paint job with new license plates. This costs money which is deducted from the score, however. But even dying or being arrested are not the end. The player has several lives, and ending up in jail simply results in being stripped of all weapons and armor and the score multiplier being lowered.</p>
<p>The entire action is viewed from a top-down perspective, which zooms out while driving a car, for a better overview at high speeds. The cities are many screens large and can be freely explored. Crates are scattered over the cities, which might include weapons (from pistols to rocket launchers), armor or other bonus items: extra lives, police bribes (used to reduce the wanted level to zero) and get-out-of-jail-free cards (used to retain score multiplier and weapons when busted). Dozens of different vehicles are available for the taking, each with unique characteristics: a bus will handle very differently than a sports car.</p>

<p>A madman with power to kill millions has been discovered, and HUNT (High-risk United Nations Taskforce) has been dispatched to discover his plans. Your team was infiltrating his island stronghold when everything went to hell. The infiltration boat exploded and fire came from all directions. The only way out is in, into the the fortress, but to stay out here would be certain death. So in you go, guns blazing...</p>
<p><em>Rise of the Triad</em>, a first-person shooter, is the successor of <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a>, with a somewhat improved 3D engine. Everything is still composed from blocks, but multiple vertical levels have been added; there are stairs made of platforms floating in air, and jump pads which launch you (and the enemies) high up so that you can walk over tall barriers in your way. </p>
<p>The game offers a lot of weapons. You begin with a pistol, but later you can find an extra pistol for John Woo-style shooting, and a MP40 rifle. All these weapons have unlimited ammo. You can also find more potent weapons - from classic rocket launcher, to quite wacky contraptions such as a "drunk missile" launcher or the "Excalibat", a powerful baseball bat. However, you can carry only one such a strong weapon at a time, and they have limited ammo. </p>
<p>Enemies are mostly humans equipped with various weapons. Their attacks can be quite varied; some of them can steal your weapons (though you can retrieve them after killing them), other shoot nets at you that trap you (you have to wriggle out, unless you found a knife, which will allow you to cut your way out). Apart from enemies, you'll be endangered by fireball launchers, rolling boulders and crushing walls. </p>
<p>There's a lot of power-ups you can pick up. They all have various wacky effects: for example, "God Mode" makes you immortal and allows you to toss homing, insta-death missiles; "Dog Mode" turns you into a... dog, which can fit into small spaces (and is inexplicably invulnerable to weapons); "Shrooms Mode" makes everything shine with bright colours, as if you were on drugs; "Elasto Mode" makes you very prone to bouncing off walls when you run into them. </p>
<p><em>ROTT</em> also offers a lot of multi-player game modes; there's the standard deathmatch and "Capture the Triad", but there are also more varied modes - e.g. in "Collector" the players have no weapons, instead trying to collect as many "triads" as possible; in "Deluder", the players earn points by destroying "eluders" which move around the level.</p>

<p>Das Boot (literally 'The Boat') simulates controlling a Type VII U-Boat for the Nazis, in an exact recreation of submarine warfare circa 1941. Both internal and external views are provided, all rendered in full 3D. Allied submarines and surface boats are attacking you from all sides - use your Hydrophone to be aware of forthcoming threads, and use the water as protection from enemy planes. You have 4 styles of torpedo on board - Contact, Acoustic, Looping and Magnetic. All orders are sent in code, to prevent sensitive information reaching Allied forces, with an Enigma code-cracking machine built in to decipher them. There are three skill levels to play at.</p>

<p>A compilation of 30 educational "games" for students ranging from 6 to adult.  Subjects include arithmetic, geography, American history, chemistry, and more.</p>

<p><em>Medieval Lords: Soldier Kings of Europe</em> is a political/war strategy simulator that starts (in its earliest scenario) in 1028 AD and continues for up to 100 turns or 500 years. Up to 10 players may take part, with the computer controlling up to 6 players. Limits can be set on how many actions can be performed in each turn, so be wary of over-expanding if there is not much time to give orders. Gameplay takes place in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, in a world full of conquests, diseases, and change.</p>
<p>The player takes the role of an immortal advisor to a king, caliph, sultan, or other leader, and must first manage domestic issues such as the economy and political stability, before attempting to conquer or form alliances with other regions. Random events such as plagues and religious orders ensure that each game is different.</p>

<p><em>WW2 Air Force Commander</em> is a war strategy game, and a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1988/air-force-commander/">Air Force Commander</a>. Set during World War II, the game allows the player to choose between several scenarios, engaging in strategic combat between the Allies and the Axis powers. As the title implies, the game concentrates entirely on air combat. The player can manage resources, bases, pilots, and aircrafts, trying to find the best tactical solution to defeat the opponent in an aerial battle.</p>

<p>Collection of educational software aimed at ages 8-adult.</p>

<p><em>Echelon</em> is a space combat simulator with wire-frame graphics. Fly around an alien planet, looking for clues to a "mysterious event" in the planet's past.</p>
<p>The game has a feature that allows people to play without concerning themselves with battle, or turn off the "exploration" and concentrate solely on combat.</p>

<p>A strategy game with cartoony graphics and an innocent line in humour. At the start of the level you choose a starting point, the intention being to get lots of flat land as well as resources to mine and ideally existing sources of trees, stones and water (for fish). Your people are vying for supremacy with up to 3 others.</p>
<p>The gameplay focuses on resource management. Each building requires a certain amount of wood (and stones for some of them) to be constructed and requires particular resources to perform its function successfully. Food must be produced (either fish, bread (requiring a windmill, grain-farmer and baker) or pork (requiring a pig-farmer and butcher as well as the grain-farm) to feed the people working in mines to produce the iron, coal and gold (as well as additional stones).</p>
<p>Huts and Watch-Towers are built to expand your territory, sometimes at the expense of an enemy's land (clever play involves targeting an area where your opponent has a crucial building, thus compromising his production). </p>
<p>To finally win the level, you must defeat your opponents. Combat is fought one-at-a-time by the little soldiers and a victory results in all surrounding buildings being lost.</p>
<p>The game features 30 preset missions. 6 tutorials missions will help beginners to learn the game mechanics.
The game also offers the possibility to play semi-randomly (based on a 16-number key) generated maps.
The map size varies from small maps, for quick matches, to large maps to, depending on how much RAM is available, huge maps, for very long matches as the fact that the in-game statistics can be displayed on a 50-hour scale illustrates.
These semi-random maps can be played in single-player mode but can also be played by 2 players on one system, if you have 2 mice, in which case the screen is vertically split.</p>

<p>Based on the MegaTraveller table-top science-fiction game, your task in The Zhodani Conspiracy is to prevent war breaking out between the Zhodani Consulate and the Imperium - Zhodani officials have bribed some of their Imperium counterparts to try and bring about a war between the two sides.</p>
<p>In this role-playing game character creation is the first task. Characters can be created and then put through a choice of five military careers to gain skills and experience semi-randomly (there are more than 70 talents and abilities), or you can simply compose your squad of five from the pre-defined roster.</p>
<p>In total there are 28 planets grouped within 8 solar systems, and there's not much space free of adventure and mystery. 30 different types of cargo exist for interplanetary trading and bartering. Combat takes place in real-time, you can control any one of your characters while giving orders to the others.</p>

<p>One of many educational "games" modelled after the CAI (computer-aided-instruction) programs developed in the late 1970's.  Answer multiple choice or T/F questions regarding American history.</p>

<p><em>Discoveries of the Deep</em> is an underwater exploration game with simulation elements. Using ships and submarines, search for lost treasure, sunken ships (including the Titanic), trenches, etc.</p>

<p>The party of adventurers has just escorted a caravan from the dwarven-ruled citadel Adbar to the city of Yartar. Now it's time to relax - the heroes head to the nearest tavern for food and drinks. However, somebody slips a drug into their food, and they all pass out. Upon awakening, they discover that they have been robbed of nearly all their possessions. The heroes must now begin everything from scratch. Investigating the matter, they unravel a much bigger and more sinister plot, which involves the evil organization Zhentarim and their plans for conquering the land.</p>
<p><em>Gateway to the Savage Frontier</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=gold+box">Gold Box</a> <a href="/search/?q=ad%26D">Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons</a> role-playing game set in a <a href="/search/?q=forgotten+realms">Forgotten Realms</a> area known as the Savage Frontier. The gameplay is very similar to other games in the series, including creating and managing a six-member party of adventurers following the AD&amp;D rules, first-person view for exploration, and turn-based combat. A new addition is a world map travel mode, which includes enemy encounters, and character-specific side quests, which can be undertaken by finding and talking to certain non-playable characters.</p>

<p><em>World History Quiz</em> is a CAI-style educational quiz game. It contains twenty lessons about world history. The game mostly focuses on European history, but other cultures (e.g. Islamic Age, African nations, etc.) are represented as well.</p>

<p>An ancient prophecy states that King Fudd the Bewildered will die peacefully, his daughter accompanying him during his last hour. However, Princess Lorealle the Worthy mysteriously disappears, abducted by her stepmother Morgana, who intends to put her own daughter on the throne. In order to prevent the princess from being rescued by a valiant knight, Morgana makes sure that the Union Hall selects the most unworthy one for this valiant task: Eric the Unready, known for bringing the book "How to Joust" to his duels.</p>
<p><em>Eric the Unready</em> is a humorous text adventure with graphics, similar in concept to Legend's own <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Spellcasting">Spellcasting</a> series. Like in those games, the player can select combinations of verbs and objects from a list to interact with the environment, but is encouraged and sometimes required to type commands as well. Some scenes display full-screen character portraits with pre-set dialogue choices. The game often makes verbose humorous comments on the player's actions, including many completely optional and arbitrary ones. It contains many segments that parody various aspects of contemporary pop culture as well as other video games.</p>

<p>The space ship Monotros has returned after receiving an SOS call to save his home world (<em>Volfied</em>) from alien invaders and has to defeat a different boss and his minions in each level. <em>Volfied</em> is very similar to <a href="/search/?q=Qix">Qix</a> -- the player takes control of a ship/object whose purpose is to roam the screen, forming shapes and removing them from the playfield. By way of reward, a picture is gradually revealed in the removed areas of the screen. The borders of the area not yet cleared by the player become the borders of the area the player's pointer can move along. When not cutting, the ship is protected by a shield that decreases over time. When it hits zero, the enemies can also killl you when not cutting.</p>
<p>The player's object must avoid contact with any of the enemies which float around the screen, as this will weaken and eventually destroy it. Barriers limit which parts of the border boxes can be formed through. The goal is to clear 80% or more of the screen, and each additional percent adds bonus points. Most levels contain power-up blocks that can be claimed when the area around it is removed. Possible power-ups can increase speed (S), freeze the enemies for a short time (T), prevent the shield from counting down for a little while (P), give a laser to shoot the smaller enemies (L), kill all the smaller enemies instantly (C) or grant a weapon to kill the boss (a red tomato only found in blocks with the red light).</p>
<p>This game allows for one- or two-player games in three difficulty levels, but offers no passwords or saved games across its numerous levels.</p>

<p><em>Wacky Wheels</em> is a go-kart racing game where you can play any of eight wacky animals. Each animal has its own colorful antics and animations, including a camel, elephant, moose, panda, pelican, raccoon, shark, and tiger. You can use a variety of special pick-ups and power ups to use on your opponents, like hedgehog bullets, bombs and oil to make your opponents slip and lose control.</p>
<p>The modes offered are Single player racing, Two player race on a split screen to play with a friend, Two player shoot out to battle in an area against a friend, Wacky duck shoot where you have to shoot as many ducks as possible before the time runs out and an online mode called Comm-Bat play. The racing mode has an amateur, pro and champion class as well as a time attack and a kid mode.</p>

<p>The year is 1963 and you're one of the hotshots aspiring to be king of the county. You're given a small sum of money to buy your first car. Tune it for maximum performance and off you go. In the diner where other hotshots are waiting to take your prized possession, you race for money and pink slips and if you win, you get to take home their cars! </p>
<p>The game's interface is relatively easy and fun to use. You have your own garage as the interface itself. Options are in the form of the garage's elements such as the clock for the game's main menu and the newspaper as your source for buying cars and parts. Add to that a third person with an attitude that talks to you as you play It's really a neat idea by which up to now, no other racing games have that style. You feel that you're living in a virtual world as opposed to just going from menu to menu. Another realistic part is the ability for you to sell your car and haggle.</p>

<p>One of the few computer games recreating cricket, the traditional summer pastime in many English-speaking countries. The game had different licenses with well-known cricketers in different countries. It was Audiogenic's second cricket game, 8 years after <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Graham+Gooch's+Test+Match">Graham Gooch's Test Match</a>.</p>
<p>All the international sides are present, with the chance to change the player data and choose the team yourself. Test match and limited-overs matches are available, with 1 or 2 innings per team, and you can turn the Leg-before-wicket dismissal off, which makes the game easier to understand.</p>
<p>There are 3 skill levels - Amateur, Professional and World Class. The bowling involves positioning a cursor to place the bowl, then controlling the speed/spin (depending on the type of bowler selected). Batting involves timing one of the many available shots, and fielding is largely automated.</p>

<p>In the beginning of the 21st century, Earth is experiencing a global oil shortage. Surprisingly, Tunisia remains one of the few countries still in possession of large quantities of high-quality oil. USA and Soviet governments race each other in their attempts to purchase as much oil as possible. Finally, the Soviets take a step further and kidnap the US ambassador, hoping to provoke an international incident. Naval Officer Johnny Westland is sent to Tunisia with the order of rescuing the ambassador and preventing further escalation of the conflict.</p>
<p><em>Code-Name: Iceman</em> is primarily an adventure game similar to Sierra's other works in that genre. The player navigates the protagonist in eight different directions from third-person view, and types text commands to interact with the environment. The command "Look" may be typed separately and lead to different text descriptions depending on where on screen the protagonist is positioned. The game is similar to <a href="/search/?q=Police+Quest">Police Quest</a> series in that it relies on realistic procedures, in this case military instructions, first aid, etc. The player may reach dead ends and resort to restoring an earlier save if some of these procedures are not followed properly. In addition, a considerable portion of the game consists of submarine simulation, requiring the player to navigate a submarine and fight enemy craft.</p>

<p>After the success of Cannon Fodder, a sequel was inevitable. The basic gameplay remained the same – guide a team of soldiers through a succession of levels populated by trees, huts and lakes. </p>
<p>The major change is that the plot involves time travel, rather than straightforward war situations, and this means levels taking place in different scenarios including a strange ‘Alien Planet’. </p>
<p>The levels include a variety of vehicles such as jeeps, tanks and helicopters, which can be used to shoot or even run down enemy soldiers. Standard bullets are joined by collectible grenades and rockets – use these wisely, as nothing else can destroy huts or vehicles. Finding strategic defense positions can be vital as well.</p>

<p><em>Roberta Williams' King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown</em> is a remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/122/kings-quest/">King's Quest</a>. It uses Sierra's 16-color SCI game interpreter, making it visually similar to the series' <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/129/kings-quest-iv-the-perils-of-rosella/">fourth</a> installment, with more detailed EGA full-screen graphics and optional mouse support, while retaining text-based input and interaction. This version also has a musical score that supports sound cards, as opposed to the speaker-only output of the original release.</p>
<p>Several changes have been made to the game's locations and script. A few new characters appear in the remake, and some of the conversations feature additional lines. A number of puzzles have slightly different solutions, and some objects are found in different places than they were in the original version.</p>

<p>In <em>Gold Rush!</em>, Jerrod Wilson (the player character) receives a letter from his long-lost brother (who fled the city years before when was hastily accused and convicted of a crime he didn't commit) asking him to join in Sacramento, California. If that's not enough for Jerrod sell everything and give his hometown Brooklyn a fond adieu, under the stamp was one of the first nuggets of Californian gold seen in the Atlantic shores of the United States. So, Jerrod bids farewell to his peaceful life as a newspaper editor, and becomes a fore-runner in the the great Gold Rush of 1849, hoping to find his brother and "strike gold" (literally).</p>
<p>Released late into the lifespan of Sierra's AGI engine, <em>Gold Rush!</em> features some tricks not seen before the more advanced SCI engine, such as enlarged characters, but it is best known for the three routes available to reach California: by land, travel by boat to reach the Atlantic shore of Panama, cross the isthmus, and then get a second boat in the Pacific shore, or making the dangerous all-boat trip by Cape Horn. Each route has its dangers: Cholera might strike as you make your way across the Northern states or your boat might sink. As usual with Sierra adventures, instant killing happens if the player is careless, but will also happen at random. Other important (and innovative) concept is the game being timed. If Jerrod takes too long to leave Brooklyn, passages to California increase in price, and his house devalues.</p>

<p><em>Crime Wave</em> is a side-scrolling shooter with certain similarities to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10327/narc/">Narc</a> in tone and gameplay. Controlling a police officer, the player shoots his or her way through slums, inner cities, and other locations, trying to destroy a powerful criminal organization and save the President's gorgeous, young, and single daughter. The game features digitized graphics.</p>

<p>Avalon Hill's classic strategic board game in its first commercial adaptation.  Choose a country to play as, and attempt world domination.</p>

<p>Take the F-15 Strike Eagle and join the conflict in Iraq (Desert Storm), North Korea, and Panama, with full map authenticity. Every major landmark is included, including the Defense Ministry and Presidential Palace in downtown Baghdad (compare it with tourist maps!), major bridges over the Euphrates river, DMZ, Seoul, and Pyongyang on the Korea map, and the Canal Zone in Panama! Use the radar to paint accurate pictures of what is going on, request updates from AWAC, and unleash the full arsenal of smart weapons upon your targets. Play adversarial or co-op missions in multiplayer modes.</p>

<p>The main premise of "Street Rod 2" stayed the same as in the prequel. You buy cars, repair and customise them and finally race with the opponents. Your ultimate goal is to beat the existing king on three courses that if you do you get to regain your long lost crown and take home his girl, again. Time line has changed and the story takes place six years later. It means that there are different vehicles to choose from.</p>
<p>The interface is thankfully the same. There are some improvements concerning the way the cars can be maintained. Next to the transmission, tyres and engine with its manifold and carburetors, the player can mingle with differentials and exhaust system (including mufflers). The chassis can also be altered (as in the prequel) but additionally bumpers also can be changed. Unfortunately the stickers can no longer be placed on the car. There are 3 venues to race. Next to well known from the first part drag race and road race (called Mulholland Drive), there is also an aqueduct race with obstacles on the road that the player has to overtake along with being careful not to flip the car over on the sloped aqueduct walls. There is also one more addition - every Wednesday night the player can compete in a drag race competition called "Grudge Night" where the player is required to set a "breakout time" after which the player must defeat all opponents without running faster than their breakout time. There are also more possibilities to car crash that can result from hitting rocks, drains, barriers and bridge supports at any speed or from passing through roadworks at speeds greater than 50 miles per hour. The system of betting money or pink slips stayed intact. Gameplay is pretty much the same however the controls are a bit tighter.</p>

<p>Before the long-running <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/284/links-series/">Links series</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Access+Software">Access Software</a> produced the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Leader+Board">Leader Board</a> lineage, which concludes here. Wind, snap, and power are the main considerations as players dodge the bunkers, water, and rough, which make for more complex courses than the 8-bit versions of the original.</p>
<p>A course editor is included. The courses provided include real locations: St. Andrews (Scotland), Cypress Creek, and Doral Country Club (USA) and a fictional one, The Gauntlet, which, as the name suggests, is designed to push the player's skills to the maximum.</p>
<p>The PC version utilizes the PC speaker to reproduce voice samples via the company's patented <em>RealSound</em> process. Quips like "No doubt about it, he's deep in the sandtrap", "Straight onto the fairway", and "Looks like he hit the tree, Jim" are used as running commentary during gameplay.</p>

<p><em>Warlords II</em> is a 2D turn-based strategy game set in a fantasy world. The player is a commander from one of several races (like the people from the Kingdoms, the Dark Elves, Ussyrian Orcs, Sirians etc.). The player starts with one city, and must capture other cities (enemy or neutral) to produce new units. The creation of a new unit itself takes a certain amount of turns. The player organizes warriors into "armies" (groups of units, shown as one icon on the map, like the heroes in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/212/heroes-of-might-and-magic-series/">Heroes of Might and Magic series</a>) and lead them into battles. The units differ in the number of movement points they possess, but the armies are only as fast as the slowest unit in them. Battles are resolved automatically, the player cannot affect them.</p>

<p><em>PGA Tour Golf</em> introduced many of the conventions commonly seen in the genre since. The three-click control method (the first to start the swing, the second setting power and over-swing, the third setting draw or fade) allowed for a multitude of different shots, and required a sense of timing. </p>
<p>Four courses are included, one of them a fantasy 'links' course designed by the programmers. Some of the holes are fiendish, with bunkers, water hazards and trees, and the need to plan strategies to get the best approach to the green.</p>
<p>When playing a tournament there are 60 opponents, each representing top US golfers - ten of these appear in the game, with one providing tactical advice for each hole.</p>

<p>The game is about more than just Carl Lewis. You can select from a variety of countries to enter your athletes from, and then train them to hone their abilities before the real competition begins. The events are varied and range from running the 100-meter dash to the javelin throw. And the selection of athletes includes male and female stars.</p>

<p>Danny Madigan is watching a sneak preview of the latest film of his favourite hero, Jack Slater, when he is mysteriously catapulted inside the screen; now standing next to his favourite idol. You are Jack Slater, an action movie hero, who takes on the ax maniac “The Ripper”, who is holding a school under siege, and Benedict, a villain who wants to use Danny’s ticket to bring terror to the real world.</p>
<p>The game, based on the film of the same name, starring <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/138102/arnold-schwarzenegger/">Arnold Schwarzenegger</a>, is very different for each platform. For most of them, the gameplay can be split up into two parts: side-scrolling fighting levels and wild car chases on the streets.</p>

<p>Mad Dog McCree and his gang have kidnapped the Mayor and his daughter, and it's up to you to rescue them. You must blast through bars and bank robberies to take the gang out and save everything you regard as good and true. Where the game differs from other <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3475/operation-wolf/">Operation Wolf</a>-influenced shoot-'em-ups is in the use of live video, with real people appearing on the screen before you shoot them down. You have unlimited continues with which to reach the end, so the actors will have their screen deaths seen by as many people as they would had they starred in a film.</p>
<p>The PlayStation 3 version has re-mastered full-motion footage (720p), a new scoring system with leaderboards, and cooperative gameplay for up to four players. The Move peripheral is supported as a controller.</p>

<p>Originating in the arcades, this is a full-motion video rail shooter with real actors, produced by the makers of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/457/mad-dog-mccree/">Mad Dog McCree</a>.</p>
<p><em>Crime Patrol</em> puts the player in the shoes of a police officer, who starts as a Rookie and has to work his way up to become a member of SWAT and eventually the Delta Force team. To do that, he has to complete missions, which involve taking down criminals in a variety of locations. Beginning with smaller-scale criminals (such as shoplifters), the hero will later have to face gangsters, drug lords, and eventually terrorists. For each set of missions, the player characters is being teamed up with another police officer. The gameplay is quite similar to any other of the large live-action laser-gun games found in the arcades - all the player has to do is take the gun (or the mouse in the computer version) and show those criminals who's the boss!</p>

<p><em>Dracula Unleashed</em> is an interactive movie in the same vein as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/392/sherlock-holmes-consulting-detective/">Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective</a>. Basically, you can choose from several locations to go to, and at each location you are shown different events through live-action video clips. Clues in the videos will point you to where you should go next. You also have an "inventory" which you can use to affect the outcome of certain clips (for example, if you enter an asylum with the blackjack you'll be able to defend yourself against any escaped inmates, but if you don't bring the blackjack with you you'll be killed). Time is constantly moving and new events will pop up at different times of the day.</p>
<p>In <em>Dracula Unleashed</em> it is the year 1899, ten years after the destruction of count Dracula chronicled in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/144309/bram-stoker/">Bram Stoker</a>'s novel. You take the role of Alexander Morris, the younger brother of Texan Quincey Morris who died defeating Dracula. Alexander has come to London to investigate the circumstances of his brother's death, but became sidetracked when he fell in love with and proposed to a local girl named Annisette.</p>
<p>Now, the dawn of a new millennium approaches and an evil force is stalking the streets of London, draining victims of their blood and transforming innocent women into bloodthirsty vampiresses. With the aide of your brother's old friends, the survivors of Dracula's evil, you must uncover the identity of this new vampire and prevent him from transforming Annisette into his queen of the night. Do not fail her, or she will personally rip your throat out.</p>

<p>The year is 1925. Laura Bow is a young student attending the Tulane University in New Orleans, and an aspiring journalist. Her friend Lillian invites her to spend a weekend in a mansion belonging to her uncle, Colonel Henri Dijon, a veteran of Spanish-American war and the owner of a large, but decaying sugar plantation on a secluded island. During the dinner Laura meets members of Lillian's extended family and their alleged friends. As Laura begins to explore the mansion and talk to its inhabitants, she unravels old family feuds and realizes some of those people - if not all - have their own plans and schemes. It all gets much worse when strange accidents and murders start to occur. Laura must investigate those gruesome events and find the culprit.</p>
<p><em>The Colonel's Bequest</em> is a detective mystery adventure game very similar in style and presentation to <a href="/search/?q=Agatha+Christie">Agatha Christie's</a> novels. The game world is confined to the island and consists of numerous interconnected areas, such as various rooms in the mansion, garden, smaller structures, etc. The player is free to explore much of the game's world right from the beginning, with only a few areas being initially inaccessible. The game's clock advances a quarter of an hour each time Laura performs an action pertaining to the plot. Characters have their own schedules and clues are often obtained by discretely observing their actions. </p>
<p>The player interacts with the environment by typing verb-object command combinations (such as "Look Garden", "Talk Colonel", etc.). Some of the most common actions have keyboard shortcuts. The gameplay largely focuses on exploration. Much of the plot stays in the background and can be uncovered by talking to the characters about various topics (mostly other people). There is an inventory and a few puzzles, but they play a much less prominent role in the game compared to other adventures by Sierra. It is possible to complete the game without having discovered the entire plot or even without having identified the murderer. There is no scoring system, but after the game is finished the player is given a detective ranking and told about story branches or other elements he might have missed.</p>

<p>One year after the events described in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/461/the-colonels-bequest/">The Colonel's Bequest</a>, Laura Bow, fresh out of college, is hired by a New York newspaper to write a story about the newest exhibit acquired by the local Leyendecker Museum, an ancient Egyptian dagger. However, during a party to celebrate the opening of the museum's new section, someone is murdered, the dagger is stolen, and Laura, after asking to be allowed to investigate, is locked in with the rest of the guests. This sets the stage for a series of murders, and it is up to Laura to find the person responsible for them.</p>
<p><em>The Dagger of Amon Ra</em> plays similarly to the <em>The Colonel's Bequest</em>, focusing primarily on exploration and clue-gathering rather than on solving puzzles, although there are more instances of inventory item collection and usage in the sequel. With the exception of the introductory act, the entire game is set in the museum. The player navigates Laura through its rooms and interacts with characters to gather information and uncover their true motives. The game's clock advances when it is triggered by certain actions or simply by moving from location to location. Some information and events may only be available in specific places and at specific times. Near the end of the game Laura will be asked to make a case to to the coroner, which involves answering a series of questions concerning the crimes. Depending on his playing style, clues discovered, and deductive skills, the player may or may not have the correct answers to all the questions.</p>
<p>Unlike its predecessor - and like most other contemporary Sierra adventures - the game utilizes an icon-based interface instead of typing verb-object commands to interact with the environments. Topics can also be chosen from a list when the player selects the "Ask" command. The CD version features full speech, including narration.</p>

<p>CM2 is a football (known as soccer to some of you) management sim. Released fall 1995 as the successor of a fine line of various versions of the original Championship Manager, CM2 soon established itself as the benchmark game for football management sims. And it's still highly popular. Despite the fact that the game consists purely of statistics and tables and no graphics at all, it's extremely addictive, and you cannot avoid not getting hooked if you're a footie fanatic. </p>
<p>Boasting endless features and an enormous depth, CM2 is just like managing an own, personal football team from the comfort of your own living room. Literally every famous and semi-famous player from all around the globe is featured, and it's of course possible to transfer players to and from your squad in your neverending quest for the ultimate line-up. </p>
<p>The game is controlled by solely using the mouse, and the menus don't contain icons or any flashy graphics -- it rather goes for informative and in-your-face text boxes, CM-style. During matches, explanatory text explains you what happens through use of the same text boxes, and you can of course modify your team just like you want to, and use the tactics of your choice. If you find that playing with only the English and Scottish leagues somewhat weakens your interest, you'll be pleased to discover that several foreign add-ons or stand-alone games are available. Once you get addicted, you'll find that you'll spend enormous amounts of time in front of your pc, and you'll get somewhat disappointed when you discover that it's impossible to play any further than 2025. Trust me, I've been there.</p>

<p>The year is 2227. The powerful DDT Corporation has sent a factory ship called the Toronto to harvest minerals and resources from Albion, a newly discovered world which is supposedly barren of life but rich in resources. The space pilot Tom Driscoll is sent to take some atmospheric readings on the planet, but crash lands after an apparently accidental systems failure of his shuttle. Upon recovering from the accident he is shocked to discover that Albion is in fact a rich, life-filled world inhabited by various races with their unique cultures. It then becomes his task to explore the strange new world, helps its inhabitants, and eventually find his way back to Toronto.</p>
<p><em>Albion</em> is a party-based role-playing game and a spiritual successor to <a href="/search/?q=Amber">Amber</a> games. It features two principal exploration modes, 3D and 2D. The first-person 3D mode, similar to that of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/803/the-elder-scrolls-arena/">The Elder Scrolls: Arena</a>, is used for most towns and all dungeons. The 2D mode takes place in the overworld, in smaller locations, and inside buildings, and uses a top-down perspective similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/608/ultima-vii-the-black-gate/">Ultima VII: The Black Gate</a>. Mouse or keyboard can be used to navigate the protagonists and interact with the environment. </p>
<p>The player controls a party of up to six characters in the game, all of which can be recruited in various locations in the game world and join the protagonist for plot-related reasons. Each character has his or her own unique fighting styles, abilities, and in some cases magic spells. Experience points are acquired by defeating enemies or solving puzzles; in addition, the player receives a set amount of training points that can be used to raise the characters' skills (such as close or ranged combat, magic, etc.). Enemies can be encountered in both 3D and 2D areas; a battle initiates when the protagonist comes into contact with an enemy. Combat is turn-based and takes place on a 2D 6x6 square grid. Topic-based dialogue system is used to obtain information about the game world, receive assignments, and advance the plot.</p>

<p><em>FIFA Soccer 96</em> is a football (soccer) simulation. The game includes eleven leagues from all around the world, ranging from the unknown players of the Malaysian league to the celebrated stars of the English and Italian leagues. 59 International teams are also featured, and it's possible to match the teams you want to against each other through friendlies, or you can also choose to play domestic tournaments or International ones such as the World Cup. If you're not satisfied with the composition of the various teams, you can create your own dream team through the custom team creator.</p>
<p>British commentator John Motson comments all the incidents and happenings on the pitch in real-time. The ambient commentary is varied, and systems with more than the minimum memory level get extra commentary phrases. The Virtual Stadium technology has numerous pre-defined camera angles.</p>

<p><em>Championship Manager</em> starts a series of football management games, which means that you don't actually control your players during matches, but you're in charge of choosing the starting lineup and tactics. Matches are played out through a running commentary, with the chance to interrupt it to make substitutions or tactical changes. Each player's performance is rated out of 10 and these are among the many statistics stored throughout the game.</p>
<p>The game features all the most important British competitions, and the database 80 league teams (each with complete squads) and 380 non-league and European teams (who you will sometimes play against, but can not purchase their players - buying overseas players is dealt with elsewhere). There are 1,500 players featured, each rated on attributes such as passing, tackling and creativity, and with details such as age and nationality also stored, and 650 managers, coaches, scouts, and physios.</p>
<p>Between matches you can purchase or sell your players and trim your squad to suit your needs. When you approach a player, and both the club and player are interested, you put in an offer and see if the club accepts it - they may request an increase. The player will have demands for contract length and wage, before a deal can be completed.</p>
<p>The game follows the season by splitting each week into weekday and weekend, each of which may or may not include a match. After you have done everything you press Done and the game progresses in time.</p>

<p>Buddy Burbank was a B-movie actor who one day met the wealthy Hildegarde Montague and married her. His wife's money allowed him to open his own studio, where he began to produce movies such as <em>Attack of the Killer Rutabagas</em> and other horror titles that gained little critical acclaim but apparently sold rather well. He then died of a heart attack, and Hildegarde followed him soon. In her will, she left the Burbank estate to her favorite nephew, under one condition: he has to find ten famous props from Buddy's movies within one night. </p>
<p><em>Hollywood Hijinx</em> is a text adventure game. The player interacts with the environment by typing combinations of verb commands and objects.

<p>In <em>The Amazing Spider-Man</em>, Spider Man has to rescue his girlfriend Mary Jane who was been kidnapped by the super villain Mysterio. The whole game takes place on a film set studio.</p>
<p>This game is primarily a platforming game in which Spider-Man fights against various enemies. Those can be stunned with Spider-Man's iconic web substance, but touching them or other hazards in the game world will decrease his health. Another important part of the gameplay are puzzles, mostly with the goal to deactivate some of Mysterio's gimmicks, e.g. changed gravity, to clear the path. Spider-Man can climb walls and shoot grappling hooks.</p>

<p><em>Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It</em> is a text adventure game revolving around puns and wordplays. Idioms and clichés have become real-world objects in the town of Punster, and the player has to sort them out in order to win. There are seven separate scenarios that can be played in any order, as well as the final one that can be accessed only after having completed all seven. These scenarios are:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>The Shopping Bizarre</em>: Products in a grocery store have been replaced by nonsensical homonyms (such as "chocolate moose"), and the player has to revert them to their normal form.</li>

Leather Goddesses of Phobos! 2: Gas Pump Girls Meet the Pulsating Inconvenience from Planet X

<p>Almost twenty years passed since the inhabitants of Earth defeated the Leather Goddesses of Phobos. The year now is 1958, and the scientific world is excited at the news of the discovery of a new planet in the Solar System, a so-called "Planet X". One night, a spaceship crash-lands in the small town of Atom City, Nevada, home to a military base and a nuclear power plant.

The player can choose between three different protagonists: the alien Barth, the gas station owner Zeke, or Lydia, the daughter of the astronomer who discovered Planet X. Barth's scenario involves different tasks, while the humans' gameplay is largely identical, with the exception of different dialogues. </p>
<p>Unlike the previous game, the sequel is a graphical adventure without any text input. The player interacts with the environment in a point-and-click fashion, with a "smart cursor" that automatically changes its shape depending on the possible action that can be executed with a person or an object. The game has multiple-choice conversations, many of which are optional.</p>

<p>It's been five years since the Ghostbusters roasted the 30 story marshmallow menacing downtown Manhattan. The Ghostbusters sent a huge bill to the city and the city sent back an even bigger bill for damages. Both declared bankruptcy and the now retired Ghostbusters have since moved on. Unknown to the former Ghostbusters, a river of slime has been amassing underneath the city, feeding on all the negative energy of the denizens of New York. Meanwhile a new occupant of the Museum of Art, a 300 year old painting of Vigo the Carpathian and its immortal soul, has arrived and is waiting to get out, eager to use the approaching slime as its medium of escape.</p>
<p>The game starts with the Ghostbusters in trial, with escaped ghosts wrecking havoc in the courtroom. A battle ensues and the player must attempt to vaporize the flying ghost in a sidescrolling environment while dodging ectoplasm thrown by the ghost. Victory or defeat in this battle as well as future battles with ghosts, will be summarized by a newspaper editorial at the end of the battle.</p>
<p>After the courtroom battle, the main game starts in the office of the Ghostbusters. Here the player choose various activities, such as: attempt to gain money by answering distress calls to hunt down ghosts, collect slime from the sewers, test slime (if successfully collected from the sewers), and check the duty roster.</p>

<p>Mixing the gameplay of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/78026/civilization/">Civilization</a> and similar games into real-time and with a 3D view, players must build up a small village in the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy universe into a Stronghold. How much micro-management you wish to do is up to you; the computer can take care of much of it.</p>
<p>You recruit and train Fighters, Thieves, Clerics and Magic Users to venture out and claim more land and resources, which include removing hostile forces. Take control of food supply and the production and management of buildings including castles, markets and magic schools.</p>
<p>Your victory condition is based on your alignment: Lawful players must advance to the rank of Emperor, Chaotic players must destroy all enemy strongholds, and Neutral players must do both!</p>

<p>Following the events of <a href="/search/?q=Countdown+to+Doomsday">the previous game</a>, N.E.O. the New Earth Organization, has gained some notoriety for defeating the forces of R.A.M., The Russo-American Mercantile. Because of this, the heroes of that mission are sent to diplomatic talks on Venus and N.E.O. stands to recruit a powerful new ally. However it isn't long before trouble starts, and an assassination attempt is planned against the Venusian minister. This is only the beginning of a plot embroiled with the mysterious Matrix Device, which can turn matter into energy. Naturally these adventures will take the NEO agents all over the solar system.</p>
<p><em>Matrix Cubed</em> is an RPG navigated in first person for most places but with an overhead view for combat and ship navigation. Players will create (or import) a party of up to six characters and assign statistics, abilities and equipment. Players move their party in a first person maze of corridors, open area and rooms. Certain encounters will allow the player to make choices based on the party skills. In the case of combat, the player and enemy forces each have a turn, controlled on an overhead map.</p>

<p>What if Hitler never existed? Einstein pondered the question and created a time-machine to eliminate Hitler as a young man, thus preventing World War II as history remembers it. However, Einstein stopped one evil only to create another - because Stalin's Soviet Union is now poised to conquer Europe... and Allies must stop them!</p>
<p><em>Command &amp; Conquer: Red Alert</em> can be considered a prequel to <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>. Like its predecessor, it is a real-time strategy with an isometric semi-top-down perspective using 2D sprite graphics engine. The player takes control of either the Allies or the Soviets, as he battles for destiny of the planet. Gameplay features are similar to those of the previous game, including building a base with some defenses, massing units, harvesting resources, etc. The game has a variety of environments in its missions, adding some indoor missions that use only infantry units.</p>

<p>Buck Rogers had once fought in the cold war, a pilot sent into outer space to destroy a Russian weapons platform. He was successful, but his success destroyed the planet, as nuclear war was launched, and you went into a centuries long cryogenic sleep, abandoned by the people who could not retrieve you. In the centuries that he slept, Earth colonized the solar system. There are large groups of people on Mars, Venus and Saturn. The colonies once existed to bring resources back to an Earth that had problems sustaining itself.</p>
<p>But the intervening centuries brought a power shift. Now Earth is at the Mercy of the interstellar alliance RAM—formerly the Russian-American Mercantile, but now the superpower, based on asteroids surrounding the planet Mercury. Mercury exploits the Earth for resources, at the expense of Earth's population. Earth has fallen into barbarism, except for one small light—the New Earth Organization (NEO). These "rebels" consider themselves freedom fighters, and they are fighting for Earth's freedom from the interstellar powers. Awakened from centuries long sleep in the 25th Century, Buck Rogers becomes an ancient military hero and symbol of earlier times. As he is brought up to date, he decides to join the the NEO, to fight for his home planet.</p>
<p><em>Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday</em> is a role-playing game similar in gameplay, interface, and visual styles to the <a href="/search/?q=d%26d">Dungeons &amp; Dragons</a> games by SSI, despite the completely different setting and sci-fi scenario. The player's first task is to create a party of six characters from a choice of five classes (Rocketjock, Warrior, Medic, Rogue, and Engineer) and six races (Human, Desert Runner, Tinker, Venusian, Martian, and Mercurian). Then, these six new NEO recruits are trained, and are thrust into the battle for Earth.</p>
<p>There are several navigation modes in the game. The player can navigate the space ship on a top-down map of the Solar System, choosing planets to land on. Hostile ships may attack the player-controlled ship in this mode. Landing on a planet usually positions the heroes on a local overworld map. Finally, navigation in individual locations (towns and hostile areas) is done in first-person perspective, with pseudo-3D environments. Combat is turn-based and is viewed from an isometric perspective; characters are represented as icons and can be freely moved on the battle field.</p>

<p>As special agent Maximilian (or Maxine) "Max" Remington, you are the premier anti-terror agent in the world. CIA have received tips and clues about some suspicious activities of some known bad guys. Gather enough evidence through house search, wiretaps, etc. Decode any messages you discover to unravel additional clues. Each operation will be handled by multiple people. Figure out the crime before it happens and get enough evidence to find the true mastermind behind the whole thing. Then chase down and arrest the suspects via car chases or go into the house arrest the suspect yourself. Can you arrest all the masterminds? </p>
<p><em>Covert Action</em> is best described as a secret agent simulator, with a heavy dose of puzzle and some top-down shooter action. You'll follow the hints all over the world, surveil suspect safehouses, apply wiretaps (which is a puzzle sequence), even go inside and check each and every drawer without arousing suspicion (by keeping very quiet). If you're discovered, you'll need to avoid car chases or you'll end up shooting it out with the bad guys. You can also "tail" a suspect (with multiple cars) and see if you can find another safehouse or more headquarters to search for clues. You have a silenced pistol (or Uzi) and three different types of grenades, plus other high-tech toys. As you get closer to the mastermind, the plot gets more intricate, timeline gets shorter, code breaking is tougher, and enemies harder to take out.</p>

<p>In her quest for power and revenge, the witch Scotia accidentally set into motion the revival of Belial, God of Evil. With her dying breath, Scotia gave her son Luther her mighty powers of shapeshifting, but through an error Luther received the powers in a damaged form: he cannot control when he changes or what he changes into. Things aren't easy for Luther: not only is he cursed with his mother's power, but the people of the Lands are understandably upset with Scotia and will attempt to take their frustration out on her son. With his mother's magic and a little help from the Draracle, an ancient being watching for signs of Belial's resurrection, Luther must find a cure for his curse and eventually stop Belial.</p>
<p><em>Guardians of Destiny</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/846/lands-of-lore-the-throne-of-chaos/">Throne of Chaos</a> and the second installment in the <em>Lands of Lore</em> series. Unlike its predecessor, it is an action RPG which occurs in real-time 3D (much like <a href="/search/?q=The+Elder+Scrolls:+Daggerfall">Daggerfall</a>) rather than in grid-based environments. Luther is the only player-controlled character in the game and can freely move around, attack in all directions, jump, and crouch. The game features numerous video sequences featuring computer graphics and live action.</p>
<p>Luther's unique ability are his transformation powers, allowing him to morph into a powerful humanoid beast or a lizard. Though eventually the player gains control over them, initially these transformations occur at random. The beast form is stronger and able to smash obstacles on his way, but the lizard is more agile, can cast magic and access areas restricted to other shapes. Only Luther's native shape, however, is able to use weapons, both melee and range ones.</p>
<p>Unlike most role-playing games, experience points are not awarded directly for vanquishing enemies. Rather, Luther's weapon and magic proficiencies increase and reach higher levels the more the player uses correspondent combat styles. Typically, only defeating more powerful foes contributes to this growth. The player can also combine items to create new ones, and enhance Luther's weapons with them (e.g. making a poison sword). There are elements of puzzle-solving, optional areas, as well as moral decisions that influence the game's ending.</p>

<p><em>Links: The Challenge of Golf</em> is a golf simulation that tries to implement realistic aspects of golf in a video game format.</p>
<p>The game uses VGA 256-color graphics, with courses containing trees, water, sand traps, and the fairway. The addition of ball physics, mulligans, changing the lie of the ball, real digitized environmental sounds, and the ability to view a replay (from multiple angles) helps to emphasize the realistic aspect.</p>
<p><em>Links</em> comes with one Championship Course, Torrey Pines, located in San Diego, California, USA.</p>

<p>A strategy game base upon the popular Wing Commander Universe.  This game sees you in command of either the Terran or Kilrathi empires in a bid to conquer a sector of space.  This game provided 2 distinct modes of play with Armada being entirely tactically based and a far easier quick play method much like the mission creation facilities of Chuck Yeager's Air Combat of 5 years previous.</p>
<p>This game also featured multi-player support both in Quick play and Armada modes.  The game could be played either in split-screen, network, serial or modem modes and was one of the first multi-player 3D space sims.</p>

<p>Simon is just an ordinary boy living in modern-day England. One day, his dog Chippy discovers a chest with a book inside, entitled Ye Olde Spellbooke. Without thinking too much, Simon throws the book on the floor; as a result, a portal opens, teleporting the boy and his dog into a fantasy world. Simon is promptly captured by goblins bent on cooking and eating him but manages to escape. Soon he realizes that he must play the role of an apprentice sorcerer and rescue a benevolent wizard called Calypso from an evil one, aptly named Sordid.</p>
<p><em>Simon the Sorcerer</em> is a point-and-click adventure game very similar to contemporary <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/72/lucasfilm-games/">LucasArts</a> titles (in particular <a href="/search/?q=monkey+island">Monkey Island</a>) in concept and gameplay. It features twelve verbs displayed on the screen at all times for interaction with the environment. Objects that can be interacted with are highlighted when the player hovers the mouse cursor over them. The puzzles are inventory-based: Simon will have to collect and carry a large number of items in order to advance in the game. Almost every character comes with an extended dialogue tree to explore. Most of the conversation choices are used for a humorous effect and are not required to pursue. </p>
<p>Like in LucasArts' adventures, it is impossible to get irrevocably stuck or die in <em>Simon the Sorcerer</em>. The game world consists of dozens of interconnected screens, most of which are accessible from the very beginning. Although there is usually only one way to solve the puzzles, the player can work on multiple tasks at once, and exploration occupies a large portion of the game. Whenever an important location is discovered, it is marked on the map for instant access, so that the player is not required to retrace his steps in order to revisit it. The game frequently parodies popular fairy tales and fantasy works and sometimes breaks the fourth wall as Simon directly talks to the player, acknowledging he is a character in a computer game.</p>

<p>Ski or Die is a winter-themed extreme sports game in which the player can competes in 5 different events:<em> </em>Downhill Blitz*: Downhill skiing event in which the player can make large jumps over chasms and perform stunts in the moguls section</p>

<p>You are Captain Comic, galactic hero. Your mission is to recover three treasures from the planet Omsoc, which have been stolen away and hidden on the remote planet of Tambi.</p>
<p><em>Captain Comic</em> is a platformer featuring a huge nonlinear playfield divided into several different terrains. As Comic, you must search throughout Tambi for power ups and items that will aid you in your quest to recover the three treasures. The Captain's main weapon is 'Blastola Cola', a can of drink that allows him to hurl fireballs at his foes. For each can that he finds, an additional fireball can be thrown.</p>
<p>There are many different paths that are available from the start, but without the right item or weapon, it can be impossible to progress through certain paths, or even to commit suicide. It's up to the player to decide the correct route to take, and which places to return to at a later time.</p>

<p><em>Blockout</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=tetris">Tetris</a> variant with an added twist: it's in 3D. The player can rotate the blocks in 3D in order to fit them into the pit they are being guided into. Advanced users can play this game with odd three-dimensional pieces, or change the size of the pit, for depth of between 6 and 18 piles, and width and length of between 3 and 7.</p>

<p>George Stobbart is an American tourist spending his autumn vacation in Paris. He barely escapes a bombing of a café and decides to investigate the clues left behind by the killer. This eventually leads him to a mystery dating back to the legend of the Knights Templar.</p>
<p><em>Circle of Blood</em> is the first part in the Broken Sword series. It is a third-person puzzle-solving point-and-click adventure game with 2D cartoon-like graphics. The player moves the character around using the mouse, examines the environment, talks to other people and collects items stored in an inventory. These items need to be used or combined with other items to solve puzzles. George gets help from Nicole Collard, a French journalist. The story is divided into eleven chapters and takes place in locations such as Paris, Ireland, Syria, and others.</p>

<p>Kyle Katarn is a former Imperial officer turned mercenary, now hired by the Rebel Alliance. After having stolen the Death Star plans from a remote facility, he is tasked with investigating the sudden destruction of a hidden Rebel base. This leads him to face off against Imperial General Rom Mohc and the various iterations of his Dark Troopers - cybernetic soldiers with the armor and firepower to turn the tide of the war.</p>
<p><em>Dark Forces</em> is a close prequel to the original <em>Star Wars</em> movie trilogy. The game marks LucasArts' first attempt to enter the first-person shooter market. Instead of licensing the <a href="/search/?q=Doom">DOOM</a> engine, like many competitors, LucasArts created its own internal Jedi engine. The Jedi engine contains advanced features over similar tech, including the ability to look up and down, jump, crouch, and limited support (in the build used for <em>Dark Forces</em>) for rooms (sectors) over rooms. The 3D models also make occasional appearances inside the game, as turrets or Kyle's ship dropping him off or picking him up from each mission. </p>
<p>Most levels have a fairly complex, often maze-like structure, and include various switches that need to be activated to change the layout of the level. Jumping is integrated into the gameplay, as certain areas can only be accessed in that way. In addition to weapons, Kyle can use shields to protect himself from damage, a head lamp to illuminate dark areas, as well as specific items used to counter environmental hazards. The player character is given a certain amount of "lives" per level; he dies permanently once he runs out of all of them. Game progress can be saved only between missions.</p>
<p>The game features fourteen substantial levels as Kyle works to disarm the Dark Trooper project. Many levels reference characters or areas from the <em>Star Wars</em> movie trilogy, such as a visit with Jabba the Hutt, a trip to Coruscant, and a battle through the interior of a Star Destroyer. As opposed to most first-person shooters of the time period, every level has objectives for Kyle to complete, ranging from grabbing a clue and getting out alive, to planting charges around a facility to demolish it. Cutscenes appear between key missions to update the plot.</p>
<p>The <em>Star Wars</em> license gets plenty of use, as the game features imperial officers, stormtroopers, and a collection of aliens seen in the films as enemies. Blaster rifles and thermal detonators are used as weapons, along with other firearms inspired by the tech of the films. <em>Dark Forces</em> also uses the iMuse engine to dynamically change the music during action scenes, with much of the music based off or directly replicating, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/1190/john-t-williams/">John Williams'</a> original film score.</p>
<p>The game is entirely a single-player campaign; no multiplayer is included or supported.</p>

<p>Hercules is aiming to achieve immortality by completing the task the Gods have set him. His task is presented as a  platform adventure set in ancient Greece, featuring a variety of enemies as you play it through.</p>
<p>Of more significance, however, is the game's Artificial Intelligence system, in which creatures monitor how you play, and try to find safer positions. Also, the game offers more bonuses and power-ups if you're struggling to progress. Even without those, there are lots of bonus sections to find and unlock.</p>

<p>Located on the northern shore of the Moonsea in Forgotten Realms, Phlan was once a flourishing trade city. However, lately monsters began settling in it, gradually turning whole districts into ruins. Only New Phlan remained under human control, but its inhabitants are afraid to venture into the monster-infested areas. In order to clean the nearby Barren River and rebuild Phlan, local authorities spread rumors about alleged riches hidden somewhere in the city. A party of adventurers, attracted by these news, sails towards Phlan and accepts the quest.</p>
<p><em>Pool of Radiance</em> is the first adaptation of the Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons role-playing system in a computer game format. In the beginning of the game the player can use a pre-made party of six characters or create each of them from scratch. Six races (human, elf, dwarf, gnome, halfling, and half-elf) and four classes (fighter, cleric, wizard, and thief) are available. The player can tweak the attributes of the characters and assign a moral alignment to each one.</p>
<p>Exploration of the town and hostile areas (dungeons) is viewed from a first-person perspective in a pseudo-3D world. Enemy encounters are random and take place on separate isometric combat screens, where player-controlled party and enemies take turns fighting each other. Experience points are awarded for defeating enemies, and characters level up after having accumulated set amounts. Fighters gain more attacks, thieves become proficient in backstabbing, while clerics and wizards can memorize more spells to cast before they need to rest. Non-human characters can also "multi-class" (learn the abilities of another class) when leveling up.</p>
<p>The NES version was substantially different from other versions. It removed references to the Adventure's Journal and some of the more complex features of the computer versions, like different currency units. Battles were significantly reduced in size, the graphics were overhauled and redesigned so that the game could be controlled with a control pad, and music was written for it. A randomly generated dungeon feature was also removed.</p>

<p>Outside of the town of Tilverton, the party of heroes has been ambushed, captured and cursed with five azure markings called "bonds". These bonds have dangerous magical powers that can take control of the heroes at the most inopportune times. They must now search for the source of the bonds, and free themselves from the curse.</p>
<p>The second in the <a href="/search/?q=Gold+Box"> Gold Box</a> series of role-playing games, <em>Curse of the Azure Bonds</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/502/pool-of-radiance/"> Pool of Radiance</a>. The gameplay is nearly identical to that of the predecessor and other <em>Gold Box</em> games. Following the <a href="/search/?q=AD%26D"> AD&amp;D</a> rules of role-playing, the player creates a party of characters (up to the maximum of six). Two new character classes (Paladin and Ranger) are added to the four basic <em>AD&amp;D</em> classes Fighter, Thief, Mage, and Cleric, which were available in <em>Pool of Radiance</em>. Exploration takes place in pseudo-3D environments, from first-person view. Battles (random as well as pre-set) take the player-controlled and enemy party to a top-down battle screen. Commands are issued in turn-based fashion, and the player-controlled characters can freely navigate the battle field. There is also an overview "world map" that allows instant traveling between cities.</p>

<p>The heroes from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/502/pool-of-radiance/">Pool of Radiance</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/503/curse-of-the-azure-bonds/">Curse of the Azure Bonds</a> return once again. This time, they arrive naked via a magical well inside a frozen town wishing for heroes to help them. The party once again attempts to save a town under siege (once re-equipped) and struggles to learn the secret of the Silver Blades...</p>
<p>The gameplay is quite similar to that of the previous <em>Gold Box</em> games. Following the <a href="/search/?q=AD%26D"> AD&amp;D</a> rules of role-playing, the player creates a party of characters (up to the maximum of six). Exploration takes place in pseudo-3D environments, from first-person view. Battles (random as well as pre-set) take the player-controlled and enemy party to a top-down battle screen. Commands are issued in turn-based fashion, and the player-controlled characters can freely navigate the battle field. Unlike the previous games, there is no "world map" traveling in <em>Secret of the Silver Blades</em>. All the exploration takes place in the 3D world.</p>

<p>Ten years have passed since the events described in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/502/pool-of-radiance/"> Pool of Radiance</a>, and the heroes return to the city where it all started, Phlan. The city is thriving, and looks quite idyllic; but a sinister force is lurking deep in the shadows... After the heroes leave to escort the council member Sasha on a diplomatic assignment, the evil Lord Bane sends four of his most feared lieutenants to destroy the cities of Faerun and twist our dimension. The goal is clear: explore the land and rid it of the evil, by taking on Bane's minions one by one...</p>
<p><em>Pools of Darkness</em> is the fourth of <a href="/search/?q=Gold+Box"> Gold Box</a> series of classic-style <a href="/search/?q=AD%26D"> AD&amp;D-based</a> role-playing games. The gameplay is quite similar to other games of this type. At the start of the game, the player creates a party of characters (up to 6). Classic AD&amp;D races (dwarf, elf, half-elf, gnome, etc.), character classes (fighter, paladin, monk, wizard, etc.), alignments (Good/Evil and Lawful/Chaotic axis), and statistics (strength, intelligence, wisdom, etc.) are there for the player to choose and adjust. Once the party is created, the player begins the exploration of the city of Phlan. Upon exiting the city, the player explores a top-down map, visiting dungeons and other locations of interest, as well as engaging in combat.</p>
<p>The turn-based combat is done in similar style as other <em>Gold Box</em> games: the player navigates characters one by one on the top-down battle field, assigning various commands. Experience points are gained after successfully defeating enemies. Enemies appear randomly on the world map as well as in dungeons.</p>

<p>Play a would-be hero in the city of Hillsfar, where action and adventure await the daring adventurer. Join the local guild and complete missions from the guild master in a quest for glory and gold!</p>
<p><em>Hillsfar</em> is a single-hero role-playing game (as opposed to other <em>Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons</em> role-playing games, where the player usually controls a group of characters). A combination of first person perspective (when traveling in the city of Hillsfar) and third person perspective (usually in some action-style mini-quests) viewpoints.
<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/images/continue-arrow.gif">https://www.mobygames.com/images/continue-arrow.gif</a>
As a would-be-hero, four classes are available in a randomly generated mission-based plot: fighter, thief, cleric, or magic-user. Each class to a certain extent, have different assigned quests given by each respective guild.</p>
<p>In <em>Hillsfar</em>, gameplay usually consists of various mini-games that are needed to complete the quests or missions provided at the local guild by the guild master. These mini-games (and their viewpoints) include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fighting in the arena (third person).</li>
<li>Competing at the archery range (first person).</li>
<li>Exploring buildings or mazes (top-down).</li>
<li>Riding a horse outside Hillsfar while avoiding obstacles (third person/side-scrolling).</li>
<li>Locking picking doors and chests (first person).</li>
</ul>
<p>Unlike most role-playing games, there aren't any randomly generated monsters to battle. In <em>Hillsfar</em>, combat only occurs in the arena.</p>

<p>The Heroes of Ascore have been magically summoned to help old dwarven allies retake the city of Llorkh from the foul Zhentarim legions. After that, there are more dangers that lurk in the wilds of the Savage Frontier...</p>
<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/429/gateway-to-the-savage-frontier/">Gateway to the Savage Frontier</a> is a role-playing game using SSI's standard Gold Box gameplay system. You can import existing characters from playing the first game. The game is viewed from above, as you move your party into mystery, buildings and combat. The game now includes weather changes that affect movement and NPC interaction.</p>

<p>In <em>Magic Pockets</em>, the player controls the cool Bitmap Kid who has deep pockets that can store virtually anything. Bitmap Kid's mission is to get back his toys that were stolen by some creatures.</p>
<p>The game is a side-scrolling shooter that plays out across four worlds inhabited by a variety of enemies. The player can cause more damage to these enemies by charging their shots before firing. The player's weapon also changes its shape and features according to the requirements of each world.</p>
<p>The Bitmap Kid has special athletic abilities. He can jump high by stepping on whirlwinds and can even destroy all the creatures he hits after falling from a high place. In addition, he also can ride a bike, dive, and even fly thanks to the special items he encounters on the way.</p>

<p>As BLOB, the Bio-Logically Operated Being, you are sent into an unstable planet and charged with the task of preventing it from exploding. This involves collecting various items (the exact combination is different every time you load the game) and taking them to the planet's core.</p>
<p>The game is an arcade adventure viewed from the side, with 512 screens arranged in a 16x32 pattern. A teleport system exists, so once you find the codes you can get quick access to different parts of the game.</p>
<p>The creatures to avoid are intelligent, getting tougher to predict as you get closer to the centre, but you are armed with a gun and can also try to avoid them. BLOB has a set of platforms which can be used to allow limited vertical movement, but these disappear after a few seconds each use.</p>

<p><em>Raptor</em> is a vertically-scrolling shoot 'em up. It features smooth scrolling VGA graphics, a variety of enemies on ground, air and sea, and an original soundtrack.</p>
<p>After completing each level you have the option of upgrading your ship with a powerful arsenal of weapons and goodies. Some weapons are effective on only ground or air targets, while some are on both. There are some really advanced weapons like the auto-track mini-gun which can effectively destroy almost any kind of targets without aiming the ship.</p>
<p>Dying in shoot'em ups can be annoying, especially if you have to start all over the beginning. However, in Raptor you can save your game between each level. If you have enough credit you can even buy multiple shields for further protection.</p>
<p>The 2010 edition of <em>Raptor: Call of the Shadows</em> includes improved graphics and native support for higher resolutions (640x400, 960x600 and 1280x800). Standard graphics are also available.</p>

<p>Rule the night! Take the pride of American Stealth technology and take on the best the Warsaw pact technology can offer! Dodge between radars, sneak under enemy fighters, and take out your primary objectives and secondary objectives with your limited weapons onboard, then make your way home. Can you survive all the way to general and win the Congressional Medal of Honor?</p>
<p><em>F-19 Stealth Fighter</em> was based around <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/3/sid-meier/">Sid Meier's</a> closest estimate of the stealth fighter based on the data available at the time. You get full 3D graphics, 3D enemies, random objectives and enemy dispositions (so each mission will be different), dynamic radar effectiveness that depends on your position and radar cross section, enemies that search you out if you do "tickle" their defenses, even civilian aircrafts in the air, and ability to play in cold war, moderate war, or all-out war, with very different rules of engagement.</p>

<p>It is your job to succeed in destroying the German forces occupying Northern France, in Operation OVERLORD, the air campaign leading up to D-DAY.</p>
<p>Overlord gives you the opportunity to fly the Typhoon 18, The Mustang III or the Spitfire IX.</p>

<p>As an astronaut, you go on space missions, eventually leading up to being the first man or woman on Mars.  The missions consist of 3 or 4 major parts.  Early on in the game, they include takeoff, an EVA to build the spacestation, pick up and deployment of cargo, a few science experiments, and reentry.  These are the Low Orbit missions.  Later, the missions include Space Station missions and Mars missions.</p>
<p>In this game you are in competition with other companies to be the first to reach Mars and then, once that objective has been reached, to mine Mars the most fruitfully.  To win this game, you must come out on top.</p>

<p>Hocus Pocus is a young magician apprentice who has two goals in life: to join the Council of Wizards in the land of Lattice, and to marry his sweetheart Popopa. Unfortunately, both objectives cannot be accomplished without embarking on a long and dangerous journey to gather magical crystals on behalf of the wizard chief Terexin.

Hocus will encounter many magic potions on his way; some will restore health, others will grant special powers; such as as a super-jump that will allow access new areas, or laser shot which offers a better attack.</p>

<p>Strike Force Centauri, the premier Strike Team on Alpha Centauri, was founded to combat pirates. As Nikola ap Io, you'll be leading them into combat. But the pirates are, too, well-armed, and the Terran Hegemony may be involved. When the covert action turns overt and a full-out assault is mounted by the Hegemony upon Alpha Centauri, all that stands in the way is SFC.</p>
<p><i>Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri</i> is a first-person sci-fi combat sim featuring realistic sci-fi weapons with true 3D terrain. You control a power-suit with arm-mounted weapons: just aim (with mouse) and shoot, while moving completely independently (using the keyboard). </p>
<p>You can choose from multiple types of suits (scout, regular, heavy), multiple types of weapons (everything from simple lasers to railguns to missile launchers), multiple assistance modules (from mine layer to auto-doc), and up to three squadmates that'll follow your orders. You are pitted against enemies from pirates to tanks and mechs, even psycho clones and armed drones. Missions vary from attack and recon to rescue and defend, across three different planets in a variety of weather and terrain. </p>
<p>Similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/826/wing-commander-iii-heart-of-the-tiger/">Wing Commander III</a>, the game features full-motion video sequences.</p>

<p><em>Toonstruck</em> is a point-and-click adventure in the style of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Monkey+Island">Monkey Island</a>. It uses a one-icon system, and the protagonist is a motion-captured actor against an animated environment.</p>
<p>Like an adventure game in the Roger Rabbit style. Drew Blanc, the main character, is played by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Christopher+Lloyd">Christopher Lloyd</a>, whom you may know as the professor in <em>Back to the Future</em> and Fester in <em>The Addams Family</em> movies. He ventures through the animated world consisting of very weird cartoon characters. The land is being overrun by an evil doctor, and you, as Drew, must stop him.</p>

<p>Sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1419/aces-of-the-pacific/">Aces of the Pacific</a>, Aces over Europe takes place in the Western Theater of Operations during WW2. Fly fighters and fighter-bombers for either England, Germany, or the United States, escorting heavy bombers, attacking ground troops, or just taking control of the skies over Europe. </p>
<p>Aces over Europe features improved graphics over its predecessor, including smoother models and individual squadron markings on planes. Terrain graphics have also been slightly enhanced to aid in navigation. AOE features campaign modes for all three sides. Although not truly dynamic, the campaigns feature random missions based on your plane type and squadron, making each campaign different. </p>
<p>Player controlled planes include the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt and the North American P-51 Mustang (American side), the Supermarine Spitfire, the Hawker Tempest and the Hawker Typhoon (British side) and the German Messerschmitt Bf 109, Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger, and Messerschmitt Me 262.</p>

<p>After a nuclear war humanity is divided up into two groups: the survivors and the mutes. The survivors lived under the surface of Earth for years. After they crawled up to the light again, the whole world has changed. The most important resource is oil and now a war between the Evolved (mutants) and the Survivors begins. The Evolved use mutant animals as units, while the Survivors use their high-tech vehicles. </p>
<p><em>KKND</em> is a real-time strategy game where oil is the primary resource to earn the currency needed to construct buildings and train units. Different buildings can often be upgraded multiple times to unlock new options.</p>

<p>In the year 1998, the amount of reports of UFO sightings has been drastically increased. Stories about abductions and alien attacks became more and more widespread. Finally, after various nations of the world have failed to intercept the UFOs, their representatives met in a conference of global importance in Geneva, Switzerland. It was eventually decided to organize a secret paramilitary group, dubbed Extraterrestrial Combat Unit (X-COM). Starting with one base, two fighters, one transport, and a few soldiers, X-COM must locate the aliens, learn about their origins and technology, find out where their base is, and destroy it.</p>
<p><em>X-COM: UFO Defense</em> is a strategy game featuring separate but interlinked elements. On the strategic side, called GeoScape, you get a rotating view of the globe, where you see all visible UFOs (those that are within your detection range) as well as major cities and your base(s). You order movements from here, such as sending out fighters to intercept UFOs, transports with soldiers to assault/recover UFOs, and perhaps assaults on alien bases (if you find any). You also control your research, as you must invent better weapons (the Terran weapons are just no match against the alien weapons) quickly, not to mention all the other cool tech you can recover from the aliens. You also need to control your budget, as you can't afford to overextend your reach. Researchers need to be paid, engineers (who build the new toys) need to be paid, base(s) need to be be built/expanded, planes need to be bought/maintained, supplies need to be replenished, and so on.</p>
<p>You can earn money by selling unneeded stuff, and you receive funding from the nations of the world; however, a nation can decrease its funding if it decides you aren't operating efficiently enough within its region. It's even possible that a nation gets so fed up with you that it signs a pact with the aliens and ceases funding altogether. </p>
<p>Once you join a ground battle, the game switches to Battlescape, which is an isometric view of the battlefield with realistic line-of-sight calculations and turn-based combat. Your mission is usually extermination of all aliens on the battlefield, though if you can capture a few it would surely help your research efforts. If you win, you also recover any alien artifacts left on the field, which can then be researched.</p>
<p>In combat, each of your soldiers has a specific number of Time Units. Doing anything (moving, shooting, turning around, rearranging objects in the inventory etc.) costs a number of TUs. Once a soldier is out of TUs, he cannot act any more this turn (he gets all his TUs back on the next turn, though).</p>

<p><em>Alien Carnage</em> (also known as <em>Halloween Harry</em>) is a follow-up to the 1985 game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/86068/halloween-harry/">Halloween Harry</a>, created for the Microbee System by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/1859/john-passfield/">John Passfield</a> in 1985, but it has very little in common with the original game.</p>
<p>In this side-scrolling platformer, earth is being invaded by aliens who turn humans into zombies in order to enslave them. Harry is the only saviour of earth, and he has to traverse different levels and rescue the kidnapped humans. There are many different weapons to collect, and most have a limited amount of ammo.</p>

<p><em>Arcade Volleyball</em> is a simple, two-player (human or computer) volleyball-like game where you have to, simply enough, bang the ball so that it hits the opposite player's ground. Some basic rules apply: when the ball's current owner loses a round (either because the ball touched the ground or he touched it for three times) the opposite player becomes the owner. If a player is not the owner of the ball and loses a round, the opposite player gains a point. The game is over when either player reaches 15 points.</p>

<p><em>Prehistorik</em> is a side-view platform game with a superficial similarity to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7428/chuck-rock/">Chuck Rock</a>. You control a neanderthal who must march through hostile pre-historic environments seeking food and keeping himself safe. Some food can be found in caves, but it mainly exists in living animal forms.</p>
<p>These include fire-breathing Pyro-Tax dragons, the Turtosaurus, and the Bad Bat. Each of these must be clubbed to death, some taking up to 5 hits, and then walked over. Some other enemies are indestructible, with the monkeys who throw coconuts at you particularly fiendish.</p>
<p>You will have to complete the level within the time limit, and avoid contact with these foes. However, bombs and improved weapons can be collected, as can extra lives, time bonuses and an improved jump.</p>

<p><em>Prehistorik 2</em> takes up the story of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/524/prehistorik/">its predecessor</a>, for another caveman-era platform game. </p>
<p>The hero must use his club to crush animal enemies, many of which then release bonus items to collect. He no longer needs to feed his clan, so there is no required minimum food target, unlike the original game. Other bonus items are located around the levels, while yet more can be found by using your club creatively and adventurously. </p>
<p>Passwords for every level can be found written in various places and they are different on every computer. You also encounter bosses after every few levels. In addition, the game includes hidden locations, multiple level exits and even hidden levels.</p>
<p>The Amstrad version is one of the few games to use the CPC Plus features for lots of colours and sprites and full parallax scrolling.</p>

<p>In <em>Wizball</em> the player takes the role of the friendly wizard Wiz who can turn himself into a green ball that is able to defend his world against the color-sucking enemies who have turned his once brightly colored Wizworld into a drab planet. With his trusty feline companion Catelite, the wizard will restore the colors to the world by retrieving them from defeated enemies. There are eight levels to be completed.</p>
<p>The player starts out as a bouncing green ball that can shoot and be put into more or less heavy rotation to move slowly or faster, physically correct through the side-scrolling levels. The first task is to upgrade the ball by shooting the first non-moving enemies, and collect the green bubbles that are left by them. In order to stand a chance against the following moving enemy waves, some upgrades are a must. First and foremost, complete control over the ball should be activated (i.e. flying through the levels), a shield sheltering the top and bottom of the player's should be acquired, and two-way fire (left/right) should be obtained.</p>
<p>But the extra needed to advance in <em>Wizball</em> is your friend Catelite who will, once summoned, take the form of a small green satellite that will imitate the ball's movement, or can be directly controlled by the player. Besides upping Wiz' fire power, Catelite is able to collect paint drops left by a certain kind of defeated enemies until the respective color pot is filled up. There's three colors available (red, green and blue), and several different combinations of them must be collected to complete a level and restore it to former colorfulness. Every color combination collected will send Wiz to a bonus stage, then to his laboratory where one of the power-ups can be made permanently.</p>
<p>The game also features a bunch of multi-player modes, there's even a two-player cooperative mode amongst them.</p>

<p>Based on the Dave Stevens' original comic book series and the movie made by the Walt Disney Company.  Participate in several action sequences that mimic the same sequences in the movie, like racing a plane, a shootout in a warehouse, and hand-to-hand combat on top of a flying blimp.</p>

<p><em>The Neverending Story II</em> is a platform game which is largely based on the movie. The concept is simple: you're Bastian, and are called forth once again by the Childlike Empress to save Fantasia, the Land of Dreams.</p>
<p>The game itself is indeed a platformer where you have to outrun giants (as in the movie) or push them over ledges. With every level you will be awarded with another advancement in the plot, usually a few pages written on a "book".</p>

<p>Aliens attempting to steal the World Cup have crashed as they tried to flee, and the Cup has been broken, its pieces scattered around the globe. As Soccer Kid, you must retrieve it. During your journey, you will visit Britain, Italy, Russia, Japan, and finally, the United States.</p>
<p><em>Soccer Kid</em> is a platform game with some unique elements. As the name implies, you have to kill your enemies with your ball. Football-style tricks of keeping the ball in the air and under control are especially useful - headers and overhead kicks can be played with practice. You gain access to the pieces by collecting 11 Player Cards across each world.</p>
<p>There is a saving feature that gives you the ability to save between each country (but not between individual levels).</p>

<p>It is 1938 and adventurer Indiana Jones is joined by his father on this quest, preventing Adolf Hitler from capturing the Holy Grail. He will have to deal with Nazi guards, the Luftwaffe and enemy spies as he tries to stop the tyrannical Nazi leader.</p>
<p><em>The Graphic Adventure</em> uses the same SCUMM gameplay system as the previous <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/714/maniac-mansion/">Maniac Mansion</a>. Most of the screen is used for a visual rendition of the current scene. At the bottom of the screen are words, which can be clicked on using the mouse to activate their functions. For example, objects can be picked up, used, pushed or pulled, and turned on and off. Most locations are from the movie, but some further scenes are added.</p>
<p>In keeping with Indiana's action-man persona, the game also features pure action scenes. Unlike most Lucasfilm adventures, you can die.</p>
<p>Two PC versions of the game were released, one with 16 color EGA graphics, and one with 256 color VGA graphics.</p>

<p><em>Transport Tycoon Deluxe</em> is an enhanced re-release of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2283/transport-tycoon/">Transport Tycoon</a> which introduces single-direction signals, three new landscape environments (arctic, tropical, toy land) with unique challenges, and an in-game time span from 1950 to 2050. A scenario editor is included, but the Martian environment from the <a href="/search/?q=Transport+Tycoon+World+Editor">Transport Tycoon World Editor</a> is absent.</p>

<p><em>X-Wing</em> is a space combat simulation, the first in the Star Wars universe. From the cockpits of X-Wing, Y-Wing and A-Wing starfighters, players fight for the Rebel Alliance in their struggle against the evil Galactic Empire.</p>
<p>Unlike earlier titles in the genre like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3/wing-commander/">Wing Commander</a>, <em>X-Wing</em> employs a polygonal 3D engine: flat-shaded polygons are combined with bitmaps only for explosion effects.</p>
<p>The game features a comprehensive training element. Before starting on real missions, players should navigate the pilot proving grounds, also known as 'Maze', by flying through a course of doorways set atop platforms in space, preferably without missing any, all while keeping an eye on the tight time limit. Higher levels add additional challenges like hostile laser turrets. Next to the 'Maze', there are simulated historical missions (six for each of the three fighters) that prepare for the complex missions in the rest of the game.</p>
<p>The main part of the game consists of three separate campaigns, called Tours of Duty. The Tours can be played in any order, even though they build on each other story-wise: Tour I, 'A New Ally', tells of the Rebellion's search for political allies in their fight against the Empire, while the Emperor launches Operation Strike Fear, a major offensive against the Rebels. Tour II, 'The Great Search' chronicles the Rebels' search for the plans to the Empire's new superweapon, the Death Star. Tour III, 'The Gathering Storm', tells of their efforts to find and destroy the battle station. Animated cutscenes are featured after certain missions to continue the story.</p>
<p>Each Tour consists of around a dozen missions, which include a wide variety of objectives. There are standard strike, escort and defense assignments, but also reconnaissance flights - just scanning ships without attacking them - or capture operations - disabling enemy ships, then protecting the transport carrying the strike team during the takeover. The game of course culminates in the famous attack on the Death Star.</p>
<p>The three flyable fighters all handle differently and are thus more or less suitable for the different types of missions. The X-Wing is heavily armed and armored, and is usually used on strike missions. The Y-Wing is slower and less well protected, but is the only ship equipped with ion cannons, necessary for disabling ships. With its high speed and maneuverability, the A-Wing is ideal for recon and intercept missions. </p>
<p>Next to lasers and ion cannons, the fighters are armed with limited amounts of warheads: proton torpedoes are slow and highly destructive, while concussion missiles are faster, but yield less damage.</p>
<p>A unique feature of the game is energy management: Energy must be divided between engines, weapons and shields. At the standard settings, weapons and shields don't recharge - energy must be diverted from the engines for that, slowing the ship. On the other hand, putting more power into the engines adds speed, but drains shields and guns. Energy can also be transferred between the systems, boosting weapons power at the expense of shields or vice versa.</p>
<p>Space is populated by many ships besides the player's, most of which are well-known from the movies. The Empire will usually launch waves of TIE Fighters, Interceptors and Bombers from Star Destroyers. The Rebels employ large Mon Calamari cruisers and Corellian Corvettes. In use by both sides are Nebulon-B escort frigates and Lambda-class shuttles. Some ships not seen in the movies include the Imperial assault gunboat, the stormtrooper transport and bulk freighters. Friendly fighters will sometimes accompany the player, and can be given specific orders.</p>

<p>The interstellar pilot and Casanova-wannabe Rex Nebular is hired by Colonel Stone for a hefty sum to travel to a distant planet and retrieve a vase that supposedly holds great sentimental value to him. On the way Rex's ship is attacked and he crash-lands on a mysterious planet. Further inspection reveals that this planet is inhabited solely by women; in a terrible war between sexes, the female population annihilated the male one with biological weapons, and is now artificially procreating with a device called the Gender Bender. Rex is soon captured by the planet's cruel elite forces and must find a way to escape while preserving his virility.</p>
<p><em>Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender</em> is a puzzle-solving adventure game with light erotic and comedy elements, somewhat influenced by <a href="/search/?q=Leisure+Suit+Larry">Leisure Suit Larry</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Space+Quest">Space Quest</a> series. The interface resembles the one used in most <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/72/lucasfilm-games/">LucasArts</a> games of the time period: the player chooses verbs from a menu at the bottom on the screen, interacting with objects on screen. Some collected items have their own, unique actions that can be performed with them that are not available on a general list of possible actions. Most of the puzzles are inventory-based. The game is linear but some goals may be achieved in different ways. There is no way to get stuck - the game does not allow the player to progress further beyond specific moments without all the needed objects or actions. Three difficulty levels are available what makes some puzzles more or less complex - in the easiest difficult level some actions are not required or/and some objects may not exist at all.</p>
<p>The game has four different endings and only one of them is a happy one. The endings depend on the actions the player did (or did not do) in the final section of the game.</p>

<p>B-Wing is an add-on to the original X-Wing, which adds an additional Rebel ship (the B-Wing itself), an entire Tour of Duty and other miscellaneous improvements.</p>

<p><em>Log!cal</em> is a bizarre puzzle game in which you have to arrange colored balls (green, purple, blue or yellow) to form quartets in any of several locations on the game board. These locations are, in fact, balls you can spin, then send any of the balls in them through the connection path.</p>

<p><em>X-COM: Terror from the Deep</em> is the follow-up to the resource management and tactical combat game <a href="/search/?q=X-COM:+Enemy+Unknown">X-COM: Enemy Unknown</a>.</p>
<p>It has been 40 years since X-COM last defeated the aliens. Now, in the year of 2040, aliens begin to appear on the Earth again. This time the threat to humanity is coming from the depths of oceans.</p>
<p>The game is almost identical to the original X-COM game. The user interface, weapons, and aliens are all the same. The only difference is the adaptation of the aliens and weapons (e.g. new hand-to-hand weapons) to the ocean environment. The game features both undersea and on-land missions, and is significantly harder than its predecessor.</p>

<p>A drug broker and his murderous minions claim ownership of the world's combined freedom. Showing their true menace by murdering top ranking government officials, they send a shockwave of fear across the United Nations. Eight heroes, trained to readiness, accept the challenge of going face to face with the top three of this evil circle. The outcome of this battle will truly decide where man's freedoms lie.</p>
<p>During the course of the game, players will select their hero and fight through eleven antagonists in hopes of reaching the much sought after goal of peace. Each of the heroes are armed an effective set of attacks, stemming from their chosen martial art. In addition, they have all learned powerful special attacks, such as combination punches and kicks, projectiles and enhanced throws. With each unique hero coming from a different background and possessing different skills, there's a great deal of replay possibility.</p>

<p>As well as recreating off-road racing, this game has considerable capability to upgrade your vehicle. There are four choices of vehicle on offer, each of which has its own weight/top-speed/build strength and so on, and thus is suited to different circuits. You can also buy upgrades and repairs, including carrying some spares.</p>
<p>There are four different areas in which you can race, each taking place on a different surface - Mud, Ice, Desert, and Mountains. Each of these is littered with hazards, which can either be painstakingly avoided or driven through (with the resultant risk of damage).</p>

<p>Rockstar is unlike any other game on the PC. Your goal is, strangely enough, to become a Rockstar. Through the course of your game you will have to produce singles and records, balance a hectic recording schedule with your drug intake while touring Europe and the rest of the World. Success does not come easy. An uneasy market, balanced with your own health problems leads to a very involving game.</p>
<p>As your success rises, so does the demand for concerts and public performances. You a forced to decide when its time for a break and when its time to go out and make some cash.</p>
<p>The game has a text interface, and thats all it really needs, as graphics would just complicate the issue. If you are after a graphics version, you may wish to check out <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8893/rock-star-ate-my-hamster/">Rockstar Ate My Hamster</a> on the Amiga.</p>

<p><em>Risk</em> is a turn-based strategy game based on the board game of the same name. The players participate in a virtual world conquest: each player chooses a country to control, with the goal of engaging in war against the other countries, eventually dominating the whole world. The players are able to draft troops, build armies, move them on the map, and fortify their positions. Dice rolls are absent from the game; the victory depends on the player's actions more than on luck.</p>

<p>Living in a peaceful land with a man he called grandfather, Kirt has always thought he was just an ordinary human. One day, following a storm, the old man told Kirt that he was the last of The People - an ancient race that possessed the ability to shapeshift into magical creatures. Kurt's parents and the rest of The People were slaughtered by followers of the outcast god Malkor - former renegade shapeshifters who got corrupted by his promises of power. Now, Malkor's minions are after Kirt, and he must recall the techniques of his race to defeat evil.</p>
<p><em>ShadowCaster</em> is a 3D first-person fantasy-themed action game with light role-playing elements. Utilizing an engine similar to that of <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a>, the game adds to it the abilities to jump, swim, and (under certain circumstances) fly. The game's stand-out feature are Kirt's shapeshifting abilities. Throughout the game, he will be able to transform into magical creatures, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, which must be taken into account during combat and exploration. These include a four-armed cat who can see invisible things; a leprechaun who can fit into tight spaces and unleash a swarm of insects; a dragon who can fly, breathe fire and attack with his tail, and others. Some of Kirt's forms can use magic, which requires magic points to cast.</p>
<p>The CD-ROM enhanced version features enhanced redbook audio narration, two new levels, and 3D rendered cutscenes.</p>

<p>In the sequel to the dark isometric action / strategy game <a href="/search/?q=Syndicate">Syndicate</a>, you control either Eurocorp Syndicate or Church of the New Epoch. These two sinister forces are battling for world domination. You must help them dominate the world across 60 violent missions spread through 30 cities - you receive e-mails containing the mission plans. </p>
<p>After selecting a squad of four men from your roster, you direct them through the rotatable 3D city views, shooting foes as the situation dictates. Nuclear grenades and psycho gas are among the new weapons. Tubes, a monorail system and unimpeded Antigrav vehicles give a futuristic feel to travel. In the PC version, 8-player battles over modem and network are available.</p>

<p>The sequel to NovaLogic's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5078/comanche-maximum-overkill/">Comanche</a> is actually two games in one: <a href="/search/?q=Werewolf">Werewolf</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2626/comanche-2/">Comanche 2.0</a>. Both are action-based helicopter sims very similar to the original Comanche. A notable difference is that in some missions you are allowed to land and refill your helicopter with fuel and ammo. The only real difference between the two games is the helicopter you fly: either the RAH-66 Comanche or the Ka-50 Hokum. There's an option to link both games to play over a network. </p>
<p>They use the voxel graphics engine made by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/104/novalogic-inc/">NovaLogic</a> in 1993.</p>
<p>Both games were later released on their own in budget versions.</p>

<p>The year is 2142. The player takes control of Conrad B. Hart, a man who has lost his memory. After barely escaping from hostile aliens, Conrad's bike crashes on an unknown planet. Conrad finds himself in the jungle, and from that moment on his quest for survival and his lost identity begins.</p>
<p><em>Flashback: The Quest for Identity</em> incorporates elements of platforming, shooting, and problem-solving. The game can be described as a "cinematic platformer" (commonly referred to as <a href="/search/?q=Prince+of+persia"> Prince of Persia</a>-style), following a design philosophy that was also manifested in Delphine Software's previous work, <a href="/search/?q=out+of+this+world"> Another World</a>. Compared to that game, <em>Flashback</em> focuses more on platforming and exploration of large levels.</p>
<p>While a large bulk of the gameplay is dedicated to running, jumping, and shooting enemies, there is also a considerable exploration element in the game, as well as some puzzle-solving. The player navigates Conrad through platform structures, performing various moves. It is possible to simply jump or do a longer run-and-jump, run, climb, hang off ledges, and pick up objects lying on the ground. </p>
<p>To defend himself, Conrad can shoot enemies with his gun and also use various objects (such as stones) to harm or distract them. Crouching and rolling are possible (and often essential) moves that can be executed during combat. The gun has unlimited ammunition; however, shields that Conrad uses to protect himself from attacks are depleted when he is hit and can be recharged at special stations. Though most environments in the game are hostile, there are a few locations that are devoid of enemies. The player is usually required to talk to characters, gather information, and complete tasks in an adventure-like fashion in these areas. </p>
<p>Most of the versions utilize cutscenes with polygonal vector graphics. The CD versions replace those with pre-rendered 3D animations. The Sega CD version also features voice-overs.</p>

<p>It is up to you to combat the Korts and free the lost settlers in this classic-style top-down shooter. Newer and more advanced weapons are available the more waves of aliens you destroy. And remember the advice of your forefathers: If it moves, shoot it!</p>
<p>The game is based on the Amiga's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/200798/phantom-fighter/">Phantom Fighter</a>, reusing the background graphics of that title's vertically-scrolling levels, but with a completely different player ship, enemy formations and power-up system.</p>

<p>Your job in this game is to manage a soccer team. The team has to play to earn money. It is one of the first soccer management games.</p>

<p><em>Duke Nukem</em> consists of three episodes which were also released separately:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/search/?q=Duke+Nukem:+Episode+1+-+Shrapnel+City">Duke Nukem: Episode 1 - Shrapnel City</a></li>
<li><a href="/search/?q=Duke+Nukem:+Episode+2+-+Mission:+Moonbase">Duke Nukem: Episode 2 - Mission: Moonbase</a></li>
<li><a href="/search/?q=Duke+Nukem:+Episode+3+-+Trapped+in+the+Future">Duke Nukem: Episode 3 - Trapped in the Future</a></li>
</ul>

<p>In the last days of the Great Underground Empire, four of the Empire's greatest Alchemists disappeared into the Forbidden Lands on the day of the Solar Eclipse, supposedly searching for the secret of the Quintessena, the Eternal Life. An imperial spy, Bivotar, was dispatched to locate them. He never returned. Now, the task has fallen onto you. </p>
<p>You soon discover that the Alchemists are dead, slain by a horrible demon known only as the Nemesis. You manage to get on the Nemesis' nerves, and soon find yourself allied with the spirits of the dead Alchemists, attempting to finish their work before the Nemesis can finish you. But all is not as it seems, and as you unravel the secrets of the past through old letters and ghostly flashbacks, you begin to realize the full horror of the events which transpired under the Eclipse all those years ago.</p>
<p><em>Zork Nemesis: The Forbidden Lands</em> is a graphical first person adventure game in the style of <a href="/search/?q=Myst">Myst</a>, mixing logic puzzles with live-action FMV sequences which advance the story. The player views each location from a first-person perspective, and can rotate the camera 180 degrees to get a full view of your surroundings.</p>
<p>Like other <em>Zork</em> installments, the game contains humorous elements, but in general its story and atmosphere are darker, including images and themes such as decapitated heads and human sacrifice.</p>

<p>In the far future, a fanatical group of religious extremists known as the Mondites have begun a campaign of galactic conquest. They believe in the evolution of man through machine by cybernetic implants. You are one of the unlucky victims: a prisoner in a Mondite complex on a distant moon, with no memory of your former life. Your body has been turned into a hideous cybernetic nightmare by the evil Dr. Mastaba. It is up to you to explore the complex (abandoned and on the verge of nuclear meltdown), discover the secrets of the Mondites and the mysterious remnants of alien civilization they've discovered, and get out alive from this moon. </p>
<p><em>BioForge</em> is an action game with puzzle-solving, technologically similar to <a href="/search/?q=Alone+in+the+Dark">Alone in the Dark</a>, featuring polygonal (and textured) characters over pre-rendered backgrounds. The adventure elements involve the hero collecting items and figuring out puzzles in order to get to new places and discover the secrets of the complex. The action elements involve combat against foes robotic and alive, both with melee weaponry and with guns, though some enemies require trickery rather than force to defeat. </p>
<p>Numerous journals, documents and diaries are found throughout the game; these are all recorded and can be re-read at any time.</p>

<p>Set in a post-apocalyptic world, <em>Chamber of The Sci-Mutant Priestess</em> casts you as Raven, a young "Tuner" (psionic mutant), working for the Tuner Netwerk. One day, while out on assignment with his friend Sci Fi, he witnesses the massacre of a "Normal" village, by a group of Protozorqs (physical mutants). Raven and Sci Fi disobey their instructions from the Netwerk, and fight back against the Protozorqs. In the ensuing struggle, Sci Fi is captured and taken back to the Protozorqs' mountain temple. Raven vows to save her, and so gets himself captured, too. As the game starts, Raven is a prisoner in the crazy Protozorq temple, where something sinister and utterly insane seems about to happen. Apparently, Raven has to go through five ordeals, to become a "Divo" (a Messenger Of The New Solution). For each ordeal he completes, he receives a Vort skull. Can you complete the five ordeals, save Sci Fi and destroy the fiendish Protozorq plot, in time? </p>
<p><em>Chamber of the Sci-Mutant Priestess</em> (originally entitled <em>Kult: The Temple of Flying Saucers</em>) is a puzzle-solving adventure game. To solve the puzzles, Raven will sometimes need to collect and trade items; but more often, usage of the eight "psi-powers" is required. These powers range from a simple light spell ("Solar Eyes") to instant-kill ("EV" - extreme violence) and complex psychological effects ("Brainwarp"). The five ordeals can be completed in any order, or even skipped altogether to reach a different ending. A time limit is imposed on the ordeals, and is calculated by turns. A "wait" command, which skips a turn, is also available.</p>

<p>From the Racter FAQ:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>In 1984, William Chamberlain published a book called "The Policeman's Beard is Half Constructed" (Warner Books, NY. 0-446-38051-2, paper $9.95). The introduction claims: "With the exception of this introduction, the writing in this book was all done by computer." </p>
<p>The authorship is attributed to RACTER, originally "written in compiled BASIC on a Z80 with 64k of RAM."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Racter strings together words according to "syntax directives", and the illusion of coherence is increased by repeated re-use of text variables. This gives the appearance that Racter can actually have a conversation with the user that makes some sense, unlike <a href="/search/?q=Eliza">Eliza</a>, which just spits back what you type at it. Of course, such a program has not been written to perfection yet, but Racter comes somewhat close. </p>
<p>Since some of the syntactical mistakes that Racter tends to make cannot be avoided, the decision was made to market the game in a humorous vein, which the marketing department at <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/9/mindscape-sa/">Mindscape</a> dubbed "tongue-in-chip software" and "artificial insanity".</p>

<p>A young physics professor named Lester conducts a particle experiment. Suddenly, something goes wrong, lightning strikes, and in a moment Lester finds himself in a strange alien world. Now he must fight for his life, first with his bare hands, then with a gun he finds. But what gives him courage is that he is not alone. One of the aliens who escapes from the prison together with him helps him on his dangerous quest. Friendship can overcome all obstacles.</p>
<p><em>Out of This World</em> combines shooting, platforming, and puzzle-solving elements. The game is divided into stages; some of them are straightforward and can only be accessed one time, while others are connected to each other, constituting a larger environment. Exploration and problem-solving are emphasized. Many levels include challenges not seen in the previous ones. Tasks may involve environmental puzzles, timed sequences, precise jumping, and combat.</p>
<p>Typically, enemies are defeated by using an energy gun found in an early stage. The gun's regular function is shooting energy projectiles. By pressing down and holding the fire button the player can activate an energy shield that protects Lester from regular attacks, allowing him to fire from relative safety until it evaporates. Finally, by holding the fire button even longer the gun creates powerful blasts which can disrupt shields. Most enemies are equipped with similar guns and are able to perform the same actions as Lester. Fighting enemies, therefore, requires tactical usage of regular attacks, shields, and bombs, as well as learning enemy patterns.</p>
<p>Each level can be accessed by typing a code the player learns after having completed the level. If Lester dies, the level must be restarted. There is no on-screen interface and no in-game dialogue in the game. Vector graphics are used for creating the game's environments and animated cutscenes.</p>

<p>You probably feel like a crash test dummy when you're playing this game - it's not only a racing game, but you get points for wrecking your enemies! The amount of points you get depends on how you hit them ... e.g. you get more points for getting them do a 360 other than driving into their sides at high speed. The game has more to offer: a head to head mode with only two cars or the legendary destruction derby itself - a huge arena, every car starts at the edge of it, and then - have a nice crash!</p>

<p><em>Grand Theft Auto: Mission Pack #1 - London 1969</em> is an official expansion pack to <a href="/search/?q=GTA">Grand Theft Auto</a>. Instead of the fictional interpretations of New York, Miami and Los Angeles of the original, this game opens up the city of London to the player. The game features thirty new vehicles, new graphics and thirty-two new missions; all in a distinctly British theme. The new city contains many familiar landmarks from London in the late 60s as well as other cultural reference and Cockney slang. This time the player can choose the avatar's appearance, otherwise gameplay has not been changed from the original game. The player still is involved in organized crime and must perform a variety of criminal activities.</p>

<p><em>The 11th Hour</em> is the sequel to the widely successful game, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/283/the-7th-guest/">The 7th Guest</a>. It utilizes a much improved video compression engine by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/2913/graeme-j-devine/">Graeme Devine</a> and is also the game which brought forth <a href="/search/?q=Trilobyte">Trilobyte</a>'s eventual demise.</p>
<p>This time you play the role of Carl Denning, boyfriend to the reporter Robin Morales. Robin has mysteriously vanished while trying to delve into the secrets of the rotting mansion of the once evil mastermind, Henry Stauf.</p>
<p>The game features new puzzles, redone graphics and indeed an improved engine - much smoother, with 16 bit graphics and an entirely new soundtrack. The basic gameplay is still similar to its predecessor: the player walks through the mansion, watches FMV sequences and solves logic riddles. The so-called GameBook, a laptop, can be consulted to receive puzzle hints.</p>

<p>After the success of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/703/pinball-dreams/">Pinball Dreams</a> on several systems, a sequel featuring four new tables was created. The gameplay is much the same as the first game, with realistic physics, multi-player options and a high score table to aim for. The tables are Partyland, Speed Devils, Billion Dollar Gameshow and Stones 'n' Bones, taking in a funfair, racing cars, a tacky game-show, and a graveyard. Each one has a range of ramps, combos, light sequences and targets to shoot, as well as general themes which are less influenced by real tables than those in Pinball Dreams.</p>

<p><em>Pinball Illusions</em> is the successor to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/571/pinball-fantasies/">Pinball Fantasies</a>, using an upgraded game engine. The tables are Babewatch, Law &amp; Justice, Extreme Sports, and (on PC CD versions) The Vikings. These contain ramps, bonus areas, and combo sequences to set up. All the artwork was produced in true 256 colors from the ground up for AGA Amigas and the PC, rather than originating in 32 colors on older Amigas.</p>
<p>New to this version is multiball: Pinball Illusions supports up to six balls simultaneously, in which case it switches to high-resolution mode. CD versions use CD audio for music.</p>

<p>The objective of <em>World Karate Championship</em> is to get the highest possible dan (karate grade, determined by belt colour) and become the world champion - and of course, to get the highest score. Karate fighters compete against each other on side-view screens, the scenery representing real world locations (New York, Egypt, Japan, etc.). In between the fighting stages, there are short action sequences, during which the player can gather bonus points. These include deflecting bouncing balls, breaking wooden planks, and others.</p>

<p>In his second adventure, James Pond must retrieve the toys Dr. Maybe has stolen. Pond has been armed with an Inspector Gadget-style stretch device, which he can use to view higher areas or claw onto ceilings so as to slide across them.</p>
<p>The gameplay takes place across worlds themed around particular types of toys, such as sporting goods, candy, and aircraft. The levels scroll sideways, although a small amount of vertical movement is included. On each level Pond must collect 2 penguins and reach the exit, although there are usually multiple exits and lots of secret areas to explore. After completing each pair of two worlds (each of which has three sub-levels), a boss must be faced.</p>

<p><em>Ghosts 'N Goblins</em> is a sideways scrolling action platformer spread over six levels, each of which must be completed within three minutes (or a life is lost), taking in forest, village, mountain and cavern settings with increasing difficulty.</p>
<p>Arthur the brave knight must rescue his beloved Princess from the Demon King Astaroth and his forces - amongst them are the various undead (ghosts, zombies), bats, ogres and goblins. Other challenges include moving platforms, ladders and water/fire hazards. </p>
<p>The player can walk left and right, jump, and is also equipped with a lance to use as a weapon. Getting hit by enemies causes Arthur to lose his armor and run around in his underpants, getting hit again will cause the player to lose a life. As in most games in this genre, the player can pick up power-ups such as daggers and bombs during the course of the game, giving the player greater firepower.</p>

<p>As Tal, your job is to single-handedly clear out the aliens who have invaded a desolate and destroyed post-nuclear earth. To have any chance of this, he must locate a sacred suit of armor. Not only will this protect him from radiation, and allow him to withstand some enemy contact, it also heals him, and enables him to float.</p>
<p>This means that the game has two distinct styles, with your character limited to jumping, and with only rocks (located around the screens) to throw. Once he finds the suit he can fly around the ledges, shoot the inbuilt Pulsar beam, and survive within the volcanic hideout the aliens have based themselves. You will need to recharge the suit at times, and also take it off to pass through tight caverns.</p>

<p>In <em>EcoQuest: The Search for Cetus</em>, the player is cast into the role of Adam, the twelve-year-old son of the famous ecologist Noah Greene. One day, his father rescues a dolphin from an abandoned fish net. As Adam becomes more friendly with the creature, he is amazed to discover that the dolphin can talk! Adam finds out that his new friend is Delphineus, the messenger of the whale king Cetus. As a qualified scuba diver, Adam is chosen to venture into the underwater kingdom of animals known as Eluria, and help its inhabitants.</p>
<p>The game's interface and basic gameplay are similar to those of other Sierra adventures: the player interacts with the environment by selecting icons that represent verb commands ("Look", "Talk", "Use", etc.) and applying them to objects or characters. Compared to most other adventure games by the same company, the difficulty level is lower, with the intention of making the game more suitable for younger players; for instance, it is impossible to "die" or get irrevocably stuck in the game. </p>
<p>Despite its supernatural elements, <em>EcoQuest</em> contains educational material. The inhabitants of the deep sea are realistically depicted, and there is plenty of information concerning their life habits, environment, and the threats posed to them by human beings.</p>

<p><em>Civilization</em> has the widest scope of any strategy game of its time. You are a leader of a nation. You begin in the Stone Age, and complete the game in the XXIth century (unless your civilization gets destroyed earlier). Your eventual goal is to become the dominant civilization in the world, either by wiping out everybody else, or being the first to get a space ship to Alpha Centauri.</p>
<p>As the nation's leader, you have many responsibilities. You have to build cities, and then micromanage them, constructing various buildings. Most of people in your cities will be working on the neighbouring lands to get food (without it, your city won't survive or grow), production (used to build military units and buildings) and trade (which can be exchanged for money, science (see below) or luxuries that make people happy. You decide how much trade you want to invest into each of these areas.) You have to make sure that your people are in a good mood; if they get too unhappy, the city will collapse into disorder, and won't produce anything until you fix the situation. </p>
<p>If you're ambitious, you can build Wonders of the World - epic constructions, such as the Pyramids or the Hoover Dam. Each Wonder is an unique thing, and only one of each can exist in the world. They give you a lot of benefits if you complete them, but they take a long time to build, and many of them will eventually stop working. </p>
<p>There are other nations in the world, and there are also barbarians, so you'll have to invest into the military to protect yourself and to attack. Sure, you can sign peace treaties with other nations, and even exchange scientific knowledge with them (although sometimes they'll demand tribute from you), but eventually you'll probably have to fight. You control each of your military units on the world map, attacking your opponents' units and cities (possibly taking over them). </p>
<p>Not all units are for combat though. Settlers are used to build cities, create roads (for easier travel of your units) and improve the land around cities, increasing production. Diplomats can be sent to foreign cities to negotiate with the other nations or create embassies, but they can also bribe enemy units to join you and conduct espionage and sabotage in the enemies' cities. Caravans can be sent to faraway cities to increase trade in their home city, and they can also help in building Wonders of the World. </p>
<p>Scientific progress is an important part of the game. The more science your cities produce, the faster you research new technologies. Initially, you'll be finding out about the wonders of Alphabet or Bronze Working, but late in the game you'll be researching Computers and Robotics. Most technologies give you some new units, buildings and other things, although some have more interesting effects - for example, after inventing the Automobile, you'll find out that your citizens started producing pollution. Pollution is a bad thing; if there's too much of it, global warming may occur. </p>
<p>How your cities prosper depends partially on the type of government that your nation has. Initially you're living in Despotism, but this can stunt growth of your civilization, so it's a good idea to switch to something else - Monarchy, Republic, Democracy or Communism.</p>

<p><em>Tyrian</em> is a shoot 'em up with a complex plot. You play the role of Trent Hawkings, this galaxy's ace solo fighter-pilot, whose luck forces him to save the galaxy, one time after another. Again and again, Trent must fight off MicroSol, a company with the evil intent of taking over the galaxy. Through your struggles, you will find yourself again and again betrayed by friends and allies, your parents will be killed and you will have to return to points you've already been to (with variations on the levels) in order to remove further threats to the galaxy and to yourself, all for the ultimate goal of overthrowing MicroSol.</p>
<p>Tyrian also has two player arcade mode and supports network/modem/serial play. It features a multi-layered ship upgrade engine, in which you can change hulls, decide upon and upgrade your front and rear weapons, buy better shields and generators and even add ship "sidekicks". Tyrian's complete arsenal amound to over a dozen type of ships and over 100 weapon types.</p>

<p><em>Budokan</em> is a martial arts game covering Karate (unarmed combat), Kendo (using a wooden sword), Nunchaku (using piercing chain weapons) and Bo (using a staff). The player has a realistic range of moves and must use them wisely, as Ki (life-force) is drained for every move made, whether successful or not, and both this and your stamina level must be kept high.</p>
<p>You can practice your skills alone, or spar against the instructors or your friends. Finally, when you feel you are ready, you can travel to the martial arts world championship tournament at Budokan.</p>

<p>Virtual Television has given us a chance to do the things that we can't make real in everyday life: Race through 14 great tracks in 5 different environments in a totally virtual place where you can kill each other quite easily with sidekicks or guns. In every track you will see some symbols that can make your car speed up, slow up or even blow up, like your mega-host Lance Boyle says, "Who knows; who cares!" Everything you see in MegaRace is virtual and no one really dies there. So have fun!</p>

<p>The <em>Power, Corruption &amp; Lies</em> compilation contains the following three games:
* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=052145830196">Beneath a Steel Sky</a><em> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=019703364142">Fleet Defender</a></em> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=4981488110015">UFO: Enemy Unknown</a></p>
<p>The multiple language/country release added a fourth game:  </p>

<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/241/dune-ii-the-building-of-a-dynasty/">Dune II: The Battle for Arrakis</a></li>
</ul>
<p>All games are CD-ROM versions.</p>

<p>Horror Zombies from the Crypt pays homage to the horror genre of the 1950's by creating Count Frederick Valdemar (our hero of the game), the gothic mansion he enters, and the creatures he is going to meet there like vampires, zombies, ghouls and many other scary things that cinema fans can easily remember. You have six levels to pass where each level promising one hundred "all-action" screens...</p>

<p>In the 27th century, centuries of peace have allowed great scientific progress in the development of the first interstellar warp drive. Two research ships, designated Explorer-1 and Explorer-2, are outfitted with experimental drives and sent to find new planets for colonization. Only Explorer-2 returns back to Earth. Refitted as a colony vessel, Explorer-2 is once again ready to embark when the peace is disrupted. A planet-wide rebellion stages a coup and overthrows the government. The Explorer-2, crewed by a loyalist space crew, barely escapes and leaves the solar system. Years later, the Explorer-2 arrives damaged at it's destination and a colony is set up, naming it New Earth. After many generations, the colony is self-sufficient enough to develop a mission: Explore nearby space, research new technologies, harvest resources, develop a space fleet and eventually... reconquer and reunify with the Earth.</p>
<p>Reunion is a strategy game where players must manage the resources and development of a colony. From a central command area, players select from among different menus to control different aspects of the colony. Many of these menus also need the appropriate personnel in charge (commanders), whose skills and price tag vary. Typical menus include: The research screen where specific areas are selected, the production/buy menu which turns resources into goods, the colony building menu where construction can be scheduled and the colony's facilities managed, the galactic map where new planets are chosen for a closer look, and eventually colonization. Players can also consult with their commanders or go to "space local", the nearby bar for all the gossip. In order to produce new material, the player has six different minerals to mine and discover on various planets in the solar system.</p>

<p><em>Veni, Vidi, Vici</em> is the sequel of the well-known <a href="/search/?q=The+Settlers">Settlers</a> game. You start your settlement with only one main building. To build any other buildings, you first must find a source for stones and wood. So you start to build little roads where your men transport all the different goods along. There exist more than 30 different professions your men can have, and many different building types. Of course, there are other settlers in your area, too, so war is unavoidable.</p>
<p>The graphics are now in SVGA, and the soundtrack is available as CD-Audio or MIDI.</p>

<p>Five hundred years ago, an ancient and well respected Shaolin fighting tournament, held every 50 years, was corrupted by an evil and elderly sorcerer by the name of Shang Tsung. Shang was accompanied by Prince Goro, a warrior of the Shokan race (a four-armed half-human / half-dragon). Knowing that if ten tournaments in a row were won by the Outworld champion, the Earth Realm would be conquered by evil and fall into darkness, Shang entered Goro in the tournament and had him defeat the great Kung Lao. Goro has been reigning supreme as the undefeated fighting champion for five hundred years now. As the last tournament required draws near, Raiden, Thunder God and protector of the Earth Realm, enacts a plan to tip the scales in the humans' favor, Seven fighters step into the arena on Shang Tsung's mysterious island: Shaolin warrior Liu Kang, Special Forces operative Sonya Blade, the mercenary thug Kano, fame-seeking actor Johnny Cage, the ice-wielding Lin Kuei warrior Sub-Zero and his undead adversary Scorpion, and Raiden himself.</p>
<p><em>Mortal Kombat</em> is a side-scrolling fighting game. Fighting is set as one-on-one combat, allowing each player to perform a variety of punches, kicks, and special moves in order to defeat their opponent. When the opponent faces their second round loss, the winner can perform a finishing move called a "Fatality" on the loser. The Fatality is a move unique to each fighter that graphically kills the loser in a blood-soaked finale.</p>
<p>Mortal Kombat began its life as a 2-player arcade title. It is notable for its use of digitized actors to represent the game's fighters, as well as its use of copious amounts of blood during gameplay.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Mortal+Kombat">Mortal Kombat</a> fighters, plus several new ones, return for a tournament held by the evil Shang Tsung of the Outworld. The action is one-on-one as before, and famed for its high level of violence and blood (other than the sanitised Nintendo version). There are 5 difficulty levels and optional credits, as well as the usual two player mode including same character duels.</p>
<p>To win the main tournament, the player must beat each of the other human players, before taking on Shang Tsung, Kintaro and finally Shao Kahn. Players have a range of punches and kicks available, as well as flying kicks, uppercuts, roundhouses, and the special moves, which vary for each player. These include throws, uppercuts, long-distance bullets, bicycle kicks and a teleport feature.</p>

<p>Shao Kahn has won. The Earthrealm is no more. In order to revive his Queen Sindel, the emperor Shao Kahn used the Outworld Tournament from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Mortal+Kombat+2">Mortal Kombat 2</a> as a diversion while his Shadow Priests revive his fallen Queen on Earth. Once enacted, the dimensional bridge between the two realms connects, allowing Kahn's extermination squads to invade and destroy Earth, and enslave the population's souls.</p>
<p>A small team of Raiden's "Chosen Warriors" survives the attack: Mortal Kombat champion Liu Kang and his ally Kung Lao, Special Forces agents Sonya Blade and Jax, the shaman Nightwolf, the riot cop Stryker, the nomadic Kabal, and former Lin Kuei warrior Sub-Zero, who has gone rogue from his clan. Facing the warriors are the mercenary Kano, cyber-ninjas Smoke, Sektor and Cyrax, Sheeva, a female Shokan, the sorcerer Shang Tsung, and Queen Sindel herself.</p>
<p><em>Mortal Kombat 3</em> brings new elements to the 2D fighting series: multi-level playfields, "Dial-A-Combo" attacks, a "Run" button to speed up the battles, and "Vs." codes, which unlock new powers and abilities once both players enter a code sequence in pre-match-up screens. Also included are more stage fatalities and finishing moves as each warrior attempts to go one-on-one with the Centaurian enforcer Motaro, and Shao Kahn himself.</p>
<p>Mortal Kombat 3 is the last traditional one-on-one fighting game game in the series to feature motion-captured digitized graphics for its kombatants, and introduces online network play to the PC version.</p>

<p>Your role as Rick Dangerous demands that you stop the Fat Guy and his evil plans to help an alien race take over control of our world. The journey takes in Hyde Park, Ice Caverns, Forest and Atomic Mines. He must solve positional puzzles and memorise the locations of laser bolts and booby traps, as well as avoiding enemies including robots, penguins and nomads. As in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2932/rick-dangerous/">the first game</a>, a fifth level is unlocked after you complete the four standard levels.</p>
<p>Rick can climb ladders and crawl through tight spaces. He is equipped with a laser gun and six little bombs, but can also punch with some effect. The controls are very easy to understand: pressing fire+up shoots the gun, pressing fire+down places a bomb, pressing fire+bottom-left/bottom-right makes Rick slide a bomb along the floor in the specified direction.</p>

<p><em>Super Tetris</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> variant. It contains additional features such as different types of gameplay (two player cooperative and competitive) as well as new block types (lightning bolts that eliminate an entire row, and bombs that eliminate from 2 to 16 blocks). The Moscow Circus in shown in the background.</p>

<p><em>Metal Mutant</em> is an action game, where you control the eponymous machine, sent to the planet Kronox to find and destroy the insane computer AROD 7. Each level is not side-scrolling fluidly, but is divided into separate screens; upon getting to the edge of one screen and fulfilling the given goal, you move to the next one. </p>
<p>The Metal Mutant has the ability to transform into 3 different forms: humanoid, dinosaur and tank. Each form has different capabilities. For instance, the humanoid form can jump and the tank can shoot missiles. You'll need to change form often depending on the situation, as most obstacles and enemies can be only beaten by a specific form. </p>
<p>Throughout the game, apart from fighting enemies (and bosses), jumping, climbing and so on, you will find additional upgrades which will give you more abilities. You'll also encounter recharge station where you can regain health and make save game of your progress.</p>

<p>The Avatar sees a strange message on his computer screen. An unknown being who calls himself the Guardian claims that Britannia has entered a true age of enlightenment, and soon everyone, including the Avatar himself, shall bow before the new lord. At this moment, a moongate materializes, and the Avatar steps through it into Britannia. He emerges in the city of Trinsic, where his old friend Iolo tells him that two hundred years have passed since his last visit. A horrible ritualistic murder has just occurred - the body of the local blacksmith was found in the stables. The Avatar learns that a new organization known as the Fellowship has been recruiting more and more followers recently. The champion of Britannia must solve the murder and find out about the Fellowship's true purpose, while still pursued by the ominous warnings of the mysterious Guardian.</p>
<p><em>Ultima VII: The Black Gate</em> features revamped graphics and controls. The traditional <em>Ultima</em> top-down view of the world now fills the entire screen, with other informational windows overlaid on top of it only when necessary. Both world interaction and dialogue are fully mouse-controlled. Objects can be physically interacted with by dragging them with the mouse. Objects can also be stacked upon each other, and some puzzles are based on this feature. Equipment screen utilizes a "paper doll" concept: equipped items are graphically displayed on the character. It is also possible to physically manipulate inventory items, arranging them within bags and other containers.</p>
<p>The tactical combat system of previous <em>Ultima</em> games has been replaced with a real-time system where only general strategies can be set and party members fight automatically, the player taking control of the Avatar alone. Combat pauses when the player accesses the inventory. Leveling up system is similar to the previous games, the Avatar's parameters increasing automatically once a sufficient amount of experience points has been accumulated. The Avatar and his companions must regularly eat in order to stay alive.</p>
<p>The game's world is vast, populated by many non-playable characters with their own schedules. There are more extensive dialogue trees and individual conversation topics compared to the series' previous installments. As in the earlier <em>Ultima</em> games, the player is free to explore Britannia from the beginning of the game; certain tasks must be accomplished in a specific order to conclude the story.</p>

<p>In <em>Armour-Geddon</em>, a power crazed entity is developing a devastating energy beam to wipe out all unprotected life on Earth. In a race against time you must choose and control up to six different vehicles, and use them to destroy enemy power lines and eventually the beam generator. And thus you save the Earth and all mankind.</p>
<p><em>Armour-Geddon</em> is a blend of simulation and strategy, in which you get to play both the brass and the grunt. You designate your targets and choose which vehicle(s) you shall use to blow them up with.</p>

<p><em>It Came From the Desert</em> is an action-adventure game that derives its inspiration from the many cult-horror B-Movies of the 50's and 60's, the 1954 film <em>Them</em> in particular. The player plays the part of Dr. Greg Bradley, a geologist and the newest resident in town. Eager to satisfy his scientific mind, Bradley sets out to examine the crash-site of a mysterious meteor, but what he finds is not at all what he had been looking for.</p>
<p>The game takes place all over Lizard Breath, and there are several different types of action / interaction. The adventure part of the game is very linear, guiding the player in a fairly set sequence of action sections. These include first-person bug shooting, scrolling overhead shooting, and a chase sequence.</p>

<p>On the fringe of Human space, near the Kilrathi border, the industrial machine is running full-tilt to feed the war effort, and there is a lot of shipping - but also a lot of pirates, Retros (religious fanatics who want to destroy technology), military, militia, merchants, mercenaries, and privateers. In the darkness, a battle between ships has woken up something ancient, powerful, and deadly. </p>
<p><em>Wing Commander: Privateer</em> is a space trading and combat simulation. The player assumes the role of a privateer. Start with the lowly scout, and upgrade to one of the three other superior ships: Galaxy (superior cargo space), Orion (superior protection), or Centurion (superior offense). Buy optional equipment such as armor, engines, shields, weapons, launchers for torpedoes/missiles, and more. Take on missions (multiple sources, from the cheapest mission computer, to fixers who has the toughest but most rewarding missions) and earn money for upgrades. Use spare cargo room to trade commodities to further add to the account. Missions can vary from search and destroy to Fedex (i.e. delivery) to bounty hunting, and more. </p>
<p>The game is set in the Wing Commander universe, but is more of a free-form game similar to <a href="/search/?q=Elite">Elite</a>. While there is a central plot, the player can deviate from it somewhat and can continue playing the game after completing the main story missions.</p>

<p><em>World Cup USA 94</em> is a top-down football (soccer) game recreating the namesake tournament. Beside the 24 teams who qualified for the actual World Cup, other significant footballing nations like England, France and Denmark can be drafted in. Tackling is difficult and passing is easy, making for a flowing end-to-end style of play. The presentation of the menus is largely icon-based, with the official mascot featured prominently.</p>

<p>You play a god, gaming against other gods in a celestial game of conquest. To win, you must help your chosen people take over the world and wipe out the vermin who worship that other god.</p>
<p>Each god starts out with a single human, dumped into the middle of the wilderness. Sometimes there is inhabitable land in sight, sometimes not. To get a chance to win, you must change the landscape, creating flat land for your followers to build on. The more followers you have, the more powerful you will be, so take care of them. Build as fast as you can, because the other god is doing the same.</p>
<p>When you have enough followers, you can make the leader of your people into a hero. He will then go around the land you have built, literally taking strength from the people into himself, and working his way toward the enemy. When he gets there, he will engage in holy warfare upon your enemy's people. He will burn; he will kill.  And he won't stop until they're all dead... or he is.</p>
<p>But you don't have to let your people have all the fun; the gods have other tools as well. You can drown your enemies one at a time with your land-lowering powers, submerge their towns in swamps, or raise a volcano in the middle of their best farmland. Even better, you can flood the land and drain all the people who didn't build on high ground. </p>
<p>And when you win, you'll have 500 more worlds to conquer. A god's play is just never done.</p>

<p><em>Lakers vs. Celtics</em> is a basketball game featuring real NBA teams. Gameplay is action-oriented with an emphasis on offense. Play an exhibition game or try to win the NBA title in the playoff tournament mode. A season mode is not available. You can substitute tired players but there aren't any other management options.</p>
<p>The game features ten '88-'89 NBA teams, including the East and West All-Stars. You can play with some of the biggest names in NBA history including Kareem, Bird, Jordan and Ewing. Several star players have their own signature move.</p>

<p>LHX: Attack Chopper is a helicopter simulation with a strong arcade focus. You can freely choose which missions to fly first, and which helicopter to fly in a given mission. There are a total of four helicopters: Apache, Blackhawk, Osprey and LHX. With this fine selection of death machines you will engage countless enemy targets in Libya, East Germany and Vietnam throughout the game.</p>

<p>Deep in the Caribbean lies Melee Island, ruled by the governor Elaine Marley. The cruel pirate LeChuck is deeply in love with her - so deeply that he refuses to accept his own death. As a ghost, he dwells with his undead crew somewhere near the mysterious Monkey Island. Meanwhile, a young fellow named Guybrush Threepwood is determined to become a real pirate. At the Scumm Bar, he meets three pirates who tell him he has to complete three difficult tasks in order to be worthy of this title. But as Guybrush is trying to complete these tasks, he encounters the lovely governor, and this meeting changes his life forever. Risking to incur the wrath of LeChuck, Guybrush has to prove his wit is as sharp as his sword, and figure out a way to foil the ghost pirate's plans.</p>
<p><em>The Secret of Monkey Island</em> is an adventure game that utilizes the command verb-based SCUMM interface first introduced in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/714/maniac-mansion/"> Maniac Mansion</a>: the player constructs commands for Guybrush by selecting an appropriate verb and then combining it with an object or an inventory item. Objects that can be interacted with are highlighted when the player places a cursor over them. The game is the first LucasArts adventure in which it is impossible to get irrevocably stuck; like in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/176/loom/">Loom</a>, the player character also cannot die. The branching dialogue system, where the player chooses between several available responses during conversations, allows the player to talk to characters in different ways without fearing a wrong choice and is often used as a humorous device.</p>
<p>The puzzles are predominantly inventory-based; most of the problems in the game are solved by picking up items and combining them with each other or with objects (or people) in the game world. Several tasks are dialogue-based; among those is the humorous "insult swordfighting", which involves Guybrush learning and choosing witty insults while dueling pirates. </p>
<p>The CD DOS and FM Towns versions of the game have a slightly updated interface (with graphically represented inventory items instead of the text-only labels in the original version), as well as CD audio music tracks.</p>

<p><em>I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream</em> is based on the short story of the same name by Harlan Ellison. After the Cold War, the computers of the USA, Russia and China take over the world and wipe out almost the entire human race. The Allied Mastercomputer (called AM) holds the last five humans as prisoners to torture them. Any of them has to face his or her past in a virtual adventure AM has designed for them. There they encounter their fears and weaknesses.</p>
<p>The player can choose which of the protagonists he wants to be but in fact he has to complete all of the six stories in order to solve the game. 
There are different ways of completing the game depending on the humanity the player shows.</p>
<p>The voice acting features Harlan Ellison as AM.</p>

<p>In <em>Lost Secret of the Rainforest</em> the player controls a boy named Adam Greene who, along with his father Noah, a doctor of ecology, travels to the town Iquitos in South America, to meet the Ecology Emergency Network. The two intend to go on an expedition up the Amazon river and try to establish contact with a native tribe known as the Grove People. After having separated from his father, Adam must venture into the rainforest, discover the secret of the mysterious Forest Heart and find the lost City of Gold in his pursuit of a remedy for the Grove People.</p>
<p>This sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/584/ecoquest-the-search-for-cetus/">EcoQuest: The Search for Cetus</a> is similar to its predecessor in presentation and gameplay, being an adventure game with educational elements. Like the first game, it has an icon-based interface and does not allow the player to get irrevocably stuck in the game or let the player character die. A specific feature of this installment is the so-called "Ecorder", a device Adam uses to record information about the flora and fauna of the area he explores.</p>

<p>Hind is a simulation of the Soviet Mi-24 helicopter (codenamed "Hind" by NATO and nicknamed "Flying Tank" by Soviet troops), and the followup to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1739/apache/">Apache</a>. It features most of the same options, including the ability to change between realistic or more arcade-ish controls by reducing roll, adding unlimited ammo or make the Hind indestructible. Gameplay was changed to fit the differences between the fast and maneuverable Apache and the slow and rock-solid Hind. Instead of relying on speed, Hind pilots must be prepared to take all openings possible to attack and focus on avoiding missile fire (as the hull can take machine gun and even cannon rounds happily). Several viewpoints are available, from pilot or gunner to several external views.</p>
<p>There are three campaigns, Kazakhstan (where you face a similarly-equipped enemy, pro-independence rebels), Afghanistan (the Mujaheddin, mostly foot soldiers armed with machine guns, rockets and the odd AAA but in a very hilly terrain) and Korea, where you can skirmish against American equipment. Campaign missions range from fixed target destruction (such as a bunker or a fuel depot), troop deployment (or evacuation), attacks on enemy positions or even lasing a target for the MiGs. There are day, night and foggy missions, where you have to rely just on instruments for navigation, making pre-mission planning (you can edit the flight plan to include more waypoints, or move them to go round or over a mountain, for instance) more important. </p>
<p>Each campaign includes 10 scenarios that can be played by their own, along several training missions (which are crucial to get the most of the helicopter). Netplay is included, and given the similarities between Hind and Apache, owners of each game can go head to head together.</p>

<p><em>Screamer</em> is a traditional arcade racing game. The player can drive many different cars such as a Corvette, a Porsche 911, and others. The game has varied tracks, all of which are available in backwards mode. Players can take on the Bullet car for the ultimate championship race.</p>

<p>In World War 2, the Bismarck battleship has been dominant thus far. Armed with torpedoes and a machine gun, can you destroy the Bismarck with a well-aimed torpedo and turn the tide of WW2 in the Allies' favour? Find out is this flight simulation and strategy game.</p>
<p>How you complete the task is largely up to you. You will need to deal with the plane's instruments, to take off, and plan which areas of the sky you patrol in the search for the Bismarck. There are four distinct instrument panels to control engineer, navigator and gunner functions as well as the main flight controls. Statistics on how much of each enemy's fleet you destroy are kept.</p>

<p><em>Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament</em> is the second game in the Micro Machines series. Like its predecessor, it puts the player behind the steering wheel of an extremely small car. The races take place in locations such as a table, a treehouse, and many more.</p>
<p>The CD-ROM version adds CD-audio music while the Mega Drive (Genesis) version features a special cartridge that allows players to connect two additional controllers to the console for four-player games.</p>
<p>The number of tracks vary depending on the version of the game. The floppy version has three tracks included, the CD version five, Game Gear 19, Game Boy 37, and the special edition, SNES, and Genesis version have 50.</p>

<p>Space is a dangerous place. For that reason, the Alliance of Space-Faring Alien Races (ASFAR) was formed to prevent interstellar war from breaking out. The ASFAR provides robotic Perimeter Defense Computers (PDCs) to watch over the star systems of each member race and prevent any single race from mobilizing weaponry. For 70 years, this has been successful, until suddenly, in the year 2704 A.D., PDCs direct armadas from all other systems to attack Earth. While bloody, the planet ultimately survives and rebuilds its military forces. The TV-202 is constructed, an advanced fighter craft that is equally agile in space and atmosphere. The TV-202 will be sent to various ASFAR planets in order to destroy their military compounds and prevent them from rebuilding attack fleets.</p>
<p><em>Terminal Velocity</em> is a first-person flight simulator sometimes compared to <a href="/search/?q=Descent">Descent</a> due to its free-roaming nature. Players take control of the TV-202, a fighter notable for its ability to fly in 720 degrees of direction, ignoring gravity and providing constant thrust. While flying to different planets, the TV-202 is able to speed up and slow down, but will never come to a complete halt. The majority of the game takes place in the air (and sometimes space), flying above landscapes which include trees, mountains, rivers, snow and other terrain. Additionally, tunnels can be found, often hidden, dug into the sides of landscape. Upon entering these tunnels, the TV-202 loses its ability to turn around (going ahead constantly) and must navigate avoiding enemies, moving walls, rotating obstacles and other hazards. Power-ups are found by destroying enemy forces or destroying enemy bunkers which are scattered around each level.</p>
<p>The TV-202 has an energy shield which is depleted by enemy fire and running into terrain, when the shield is gone, the player is destroyed. Shield Power-ups and Energy Core power-ups can be found to restore shield energy. For weaponry, the player begins with a single Plasma Assault Cannon (PAC) weapon that fires straight ahead. Other weapon power-ups can be found which include a PAC power-up, an Ion-burst gun (ION), Rapid Targeting Laser (RTL), Manual Aimed Missile (MAM), Seek and Destroy Missile (SAD), Shock wave Torpedoes (SWT) and Discrete Annihilation Missiles (DAM). With the exception of the Annihilation Missiles, all these weapons also fire directly in front of the player. There is an afterburner fuel power-up which will allow the TV-202 to increase its thrust substantially, traveling much faster than normal.</p>
<p>Each world features its own unique enemies and hazards. The different levels of the game provide unique objectives which can include flying to checkpoints, destroying specific targets (including bosses) and entering tunnels. Upon completing the necessary objectives, the player is directed to exit the level via a Departure Unit (DUN) located somewhere on the map.</p>

<p><em>The Splat Pack</em> is the official add-on for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/367/carmageddon/">Carmageddon</a>. It adds 20 new tracks, 15 new cars, 9 new environments, new network levels and <a href="/search/?q=3Dfx">3Dfx</a> support. The player car also underwent small optical changes.</p>

<p>Another F-16 simulator. It has all the standard features for a flight simulation, including single mission flight, quickstart and campaign mode (different terrains over Corea, Cyprus and Israel). The graphic engine is a bit slow, but displays the F-16 in a very accurate way.</p>

<p>Take over control of one of many futuristic racers which fly through courses all over the world. A very nice feature is the ability of picking up weapons during fight to keep your opponents under control. You're able to upgrade your racer after every track.</p>

<p>Undercover and fresh out of prison, you, Sam Frost, are hired by the corporate giant, Metacorp, to discover why the patrons of their "posh resort," the Alexandria, are being killed off.  The game has a futuristic, cyberpunk feel to it as you negotiate the halls of the resort in a first-person slideshow style similar to that of Myst.  Although unlike Myst, you have control of an extensive inventory.</p>

<p>The island of Gelnor has been taken over by The Black Knights, who demand sacrifices and homage as they travel from town to town. Defeat them and their master, Nikademus!</p>
<p><em>Phantasie</em> is a classic role-playing game, and one of the first to introduce a "bank" for storing money in addition to expanding on the classic <a href="/search/?q=wizardry">Wizardry</a>-style gameplay of building your own adventuring party with traveling from town to town via the countryside, overhead views of dungeons, and multiple styles of attack.</p>

<p><em>Down in the Dumps</em> is a graphical adventure game in which the player takes control of the family Blub. In each chapter the player controls a different family member. The family of minuscule aliens wanted to go on holidays to another planet, but after a crash with evil aliens, they crash-land in a dump on earth. It is up to the player to take control of the family members and collect the required parts to reconstruct their spaceship.</p>
<p>The game is played with the mouse in typical point &amp; click adventure style. You can collect in an inventory and combine items with each other or use them with objects in the game world. The game makes use of prerendered backgrounds and characters. The entire game takes place on the dump and is in a comedic style.</p>

<p><em>Need for Speed: Special Edition</em> adds two new race tracks (Burnt Sienna and Transtropolis), changeable time of day settings, 8-player network/modem support, in-game music, and Windows 95 support to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2177/the-need-for-speed/">Need for Speed</a>.</p>
<p>The game lets you drive 8 speed devils including Lamborghini Diablo VT, Ferrari 512TR, and Porsche 911 Carrera. The race tracks are highly detailed with the help of texture mapped vector graphics The soundtrack is digitally recorded, and of professional quality.</p>
<p><em>Need for Speed SE</em> has indepth coverage of the cars and race tracks. Video clips of the cars are also included.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="/search/?q=stealth+fighter">F-19 Stealth Fighter</a> - take America's premiere stealth fighter out for a spin in several battle areas, including the Persian Gulf, Cuba, and even Vietnam. There are various scenarios for each, with air-to-air or ground missions, in "cold war" and full-scale war situations. Players can build up their pilot ranks through completed missions and medals.</p>
<p>The game actually has two flight modes. In the "authentic" mode, you have only 2 weapon bays, but you have higher stealth rating. In the "theoretical" mode, you have 4 weapon bays like F-19 Stealth Fighter, but your plane is easier to detect due to a lower stealth rating.</p>

<p><em>SimCity 2000</em> is the successor to the city simulation game <a href="/search/?q=SimCity">Sim City</a>. You are once again the mayor, but this time you can fully customize the terrain before building your city. The graphics are isometric, whereas the original had graphics displayed in a top-down fashion.</p>
<p>This title adds numerous features over the original such as the ability of building "light" zones, subways, hospitals, colleges, zoos, and arcos which are actually cities in cities. You can now give names to places, and your city is surrounded by neighboring towns with which you can trade goods. Finally, instead of the poll in the first game, you now have the option of reading several newspapers to get an idea of your progress.</p>

<p>You play the part of Bruce Lee, the only man who can fight back against Master Po and his army of martial arts warriors. You have to stop their destruction on Hong Kong Island!</p>
<p>This martial arts game features a "learning" AI engine that can improve its strategy by examining and tracking your past actions... thus the player cannot beat the game by just re-using the same successful moves over and over again. This amounts to a difficult game where "the opponents very often beat the program's designers!"</p>

<p><em>Heroes of Might and Magic</em> is a turn-based strategy game in which the player takes on the role of one of four different heroes: the warlock, sorceress, barbarian, or knight. As the hero the player must build up his or her castle by adding different buildings to earn different units to strengthen the hero's army with. Units include dragons, cyclopes, phoenixes, paladins, and many more fantasy creatures. Buildings and units cost money and resources. Buildings can also be upgraded to unlock new unit types.</p>
<p>Another aspect of the game is exploring the world and discovering treasures, spells, mines to gather resources, nomad camps, magic lamps, ultimate artifacts, and more. The game uses a top down map in which the player can move his heroes a number of spaces each turn. Whenever the player encounters an enemy hero or castle a battle is shown in a close-up view.</p>
<p>During battles all the player's units are shown as stacks. The player can move these stacks around on a hexagonal grid. Different units have different movement and attack capabilities requiring different strategies to use and overcome.</p>
<p>The goal is to defeat all opponents by conquering their castles and defeating their heroes in battle. The player must also defend his own castles from enemy attacks. The player's heroes can collect spells to use in battle and can boost the units under their command, but they otherwise don't have a presence on the battlefields. The heroes collect experience points in typical RPG manner which boosts their stats. In addition, items can be collected for additional bonuses.</p>

<p>Use your paddles to pilot your orb in the search for the disappearance of Vern Grenington
and his "entire vehicle service station" on Vicinity NAW-911 which "has long been known to 
contain a Black Hole."</p>
<p>According to the game manual because most of their pilots grew up in the era of video games
in the late 20th century, they have designed the orb control panel to resemble a video game!
So just target your orb to eliminate the objects you see in the center of your screen in
every level (however, in some levels you may have more "subtle" approach) in your path to
The Black Hole...</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8410/orb-3d/">Orb-3D</a> is often considered the follow up to this game due to the gameplay similarities.</p>

<p>The gameplay is very simple: you control a small black ball with your mouse, you have to bounce it against blocks which display a symbol. Now you have to find the matching symbol. The game can be seen as a mixture of <a href="/search/?q=Marble+Madness">Marble Madness</a> and good old Memory. The levels get more and more complex later.</p>
<p>The 2007 Windows release was released through the combined efforts of <a href="/search/?q=Dongleware">Dongleware</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/5399/mad-data/">Mad Data</a> and the programmer <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/671438/jens-duttke/">Jens Duttke</a>. An updated release, it adds 10 new single player landscapes and 20 two-player landscapes to the game.</p>

<p><em>Theme Hospital</em> is a level-based hospital management simulation where players have to start on an empty building, and then assemble rooms with all kinds of material, from desks and file cabinets for the general diagnosis to the expensive ultra-scanners and X-rays to diagnose such bizarre diseases as Bloaty Head, Slack Songue or Alien DNA, and treat them with even more bizarre machines like an Head Inflator or a DNA fixer. There are several additional rooms, such as a staff room for your employees to rest, a toilet so that patients don't have to relieve themselves in the corridors, a research department to get the most advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies and a training room where consultants can teach a thing or two to rookies, making them capable doctors. The size and layout of each room can be set by the player, according to the available space. In addition to rooms, the player must provide radiators, seating for patients and drink machines.</p>
<p>However, rooms don't run by themselves. Most diagnostic and clinics can work with regular doctors, but others like the operating theater and the research room require specialized staff while the ward, pharmacy and the fracture clinic require an attending nurse. At the same time, the hospital can't run without handymen cruising around the hospital to water up dry plants, clean up litter and vomit (after all, people go there because they <em>are</em> sick) and fix machines, while receptionists direct patients to the proper rooms.</p>
<p>As levels advance, the player faces increasingly harder situations: VIP visits, emergencies, epidemics and earthquakes, which can either take a toll on reputation or on the bank account. On the other hand, as more and more equipment is required, additional plots of land are available for purchase in later maps.</p>

<p>Dominating the exciting world of Theme Park ownership is your goal in this strategy game from Bullfrog. The first task is to set up your rides within the available land, structuring convenient paths and queues and ideally leaving some space for bigger rides once they become available, and include some lakes and trees to increase the park's allure. Rides range from Teacups and Haunted Houses to the biggest most elaborate roller-coaster you can design, and water rides that loop around other rides.</p>
<p>Shops must also be included so that the visitors can buy food, drinks, and souvenirs - the cunning player will combine salt, sugar, and caffeine settings to maximize consumer interest. Staff must be hired to keep everything running smoothly, and they will only work for what they consider a fair rate of pay.</p>
<p>You are competing against other Theme Parks, so don't let them get an advantage over you - monitor your success in attracting customers and financial viability closely using the supplied statistics pages. More important, ensure that research is adequately funded to produce new rides.</p>
<p>It can be played in three modes - Sandbox level lets you concentrate on the park design elements, while Sim and Full add more strategic features.</p>

<p>The follow-up to <a href="/search/?q=Pro+Pinball+Web">The Web</a> features a single but a very complex table. You have a 3D view of the table, with 4 different viewpoints. Your ultimate point-scoring goal is to travel through time by collecting crystals. The game takes in Roman, Prehistoric and Futuristic settings, as well as the present-day world.</p>
<p>There is a lot of secret stuff to discover. Many videos are shown in the dot matrix display above the table. The developers also included a preview mode, that lets you zoom into special areas of the table.</p>

<p>Following his successes for the Rebel Alliance in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/272/star-wars-rebel-assault/">the previous game</a>, the adventures of the starfighter pilot "Rookie One" continue. While out scouting in the Dreighton Nebula, Rookie One's patrols receive a distress call from a freighter. As this is an area where ships are known to disappear, any deviation from the flight path is dangerous. But what they find is an Imperial presence where there shouldn't be one... and a new secret project to bring about the destruction of the Rebel Alliance.</p>
<p><em>Rebel Assault II</em> is a rail-shooter "interactive movie" featuring a variety of action sequences. Rookie One will fly sequences in an X-Wing, the Millennium Falcon, speeder bikes and being on foot. His only real ability is the precise targeting and shooting of laser weapon and occasionally the chance to take cover and avoid obstacles. Rookie One will team up with other characters who will aid him and need to be defended in turn. Occasionally different paths can be chosen in the animation and different events triggered, but for the most part the game is a closed environment.</p>

<p><em>Kingdom O' Magic</em> is a fantasy adventure game spoof - along the lines of <a href="/search/?q=Zork+series">Zork</a> but with British humour. Play as either an unintelligible Green Lizard Guy (use subtitles) or the token female - who was intended to be humorously overproportioned although now <a href="/search/?q=Tomb+Raider">Tomb Raider</a> has raised the standard.</p>
<p>The designers intended for the game to be non-linear, and many NPCs wander around the entire map getting into fights with each other.</p>
<p>Entirely comedic - the troubleshooting guide in the manual discusses sexual malfunction. The dialogue trees encourage the player to be abrasive and confrontational - not doing so will cause you to miss out on much of the enjoyment, and many of the puzzles.</p>

<p>The year is 2072. A hacker from a Saturn colony breaks into computer system of TriOptimum Corporation and gets arrested. He is taken to the Citadel Station, where Edward Diego, a TriOptimum executive, offers to drop all charges against the hacker, as well as grant him a valuable neural implant, if he agrees to hack into SHODAN (Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network) , the artificial intelligence that controls the station. The hacker removes the AI's ethical constraints and undergoes the promised implant surgery, after which he is put into a six-month healing coma. </p>
<p>The hacker awakens into a horrifying reality: with her ethical restrictions removed, SHODAN took control over the station, reprogrammed all robots and machines to suit her needs, and disposed of the crew members by either transforming them into mutants and cyborgs, or killing them outright. Rebecca Lansing, a TriOptimum counter-terrorism consultant, contacts the hacker and informs him of an even more terrifying possible future: SHODAN's plan involves using the station's mining lasers to annihilate all life on Earth. The hacker must explore and traverse the desolate corridors and rooms of the large space station, fighting SHODAN's minions on his way to thwart her maniacal design.</p>
<p><em>System Shock</em> is a first-person shooter with puzzle-solving and light role-playing elements. The gameplay incorporates gradual exploration of the Citadel's ten levels, interaction with the environment, problem-solving, fulfilling objectives, and combat.</p>
<p>On his way the hacker encounters numerous enemies - robots, cyborgs and mutants, all of which can be fought back with a variety of weapons. Some of the weapons use ammo, while other have infinite ammo and instead draw on electric energy. Some weapons are more effective on certain foes - e.g. the dart gun only works on organic enemies, while the magpulse is best used against robots. Once killed, the enemies can be searched for ammo and other items. The player can also find items in crates, cabinets, corpses or just lying around on the ground. </p>
<p>Apart from weapons and ammo, the player can find patches (such as medical patches, which replenish the hero's health; berserk patches, which temporarily increase his strength but cause hallucinations; detox patches, which remove the harmful effects of radiation and biohazard; etc.), grenades of various kinds (EMP grenades are effective against robots, gas grenades are good for mutants, land mines can be used to set traps, etc.), battery packs for replenishing electricity, first aid kits for restoring health, and others. </p>
<p>Thanks to the hacker's implant he is able to install various pieces of hardware into his body, such as a booster which makes him go faster, or a head lantern to bright up dark areas. As the player progresses in the game, higher versions of existing hardware are found, which are more effective and useful. However, most hardware uses up electric energy while it is active. </p>
<p>At some places in the game, the player has to find a wall-mounted "cyberjack" to go into cyberspace in order to find helpful data, remotely open doors or unlock sealed areas, or give himself clearance to access off-limits areas. Cyberspace is represented as a 3-D wireframe place, where the protagonist floats around freely in three dimensions, shoots hostile cyber-guards with phasers, and collects files represented as colorful cubes. </p>
<p>The story of <em>System Shock</em> is mostly told through e-mail messages the protagonist received, and electronic diaries (logs) left by various characters (as well as SHODAN herself), which are scattered around the space station. The game features separate adjustable difficulty settings for combat, mission objectives and puzzles. The CD version of the game includes full speech for e-mails and logs, as well as higher-resolution, more detailed graphics.</p>

<p><em>Cool Spot</em> is a colorful 2D platform game featuring the 7-Up mascot as the main protagonist. The game objective is fairly simple and straightforward. The player character has to collect enough number of cool points throughout each level in order to find and rescue his captured uncool Spot buddies and complete the game.</p>

<p>Your task is to rescue the Lemmings across 120 levels of fast-paced puzzling. These creatures simply walk blindly through the world in the hope of reaching safety at the end of the level - unfortunately, these levels include steep drops, gaps in the ground, barriers, and rivers amongst other hazards.</p>
<p>You are in control not of any individual Lemming, but of a cross-hair, which can be moved over any of the Lemmings. Along the bottom is a selection of functions that can be assigned to a Lemming, including climbing, floating, and bashing. You must click to select the appropriate function, then click on the Lemming to activate it. Each level has a different range of skills on offer, a different amount of Lemmings, and a different percentage target in order to progress.</p>

<p><em>Oh No! More Lemmings</em> is the follow-up to <a href="/search/?q=Lemmings">Lemmings</a>. The game features 100 new levels, and all-new graphics and music. It was released in both a stand-alone and an add-on version.</p>

<p><em>Whiplash</em> is a fast-paced racing game where you choose from eight different cars and race on over sixteen different tracks to brave death-defying loops and corkscrews in stunt racing. The different players are organized in teams of two cars each. The aim is of course to reach the finish line first, but on harder difficulty levels opponents can also be killed by repeatedly bumping into them. The damage is visible, with dents and smoke. Each track has a pit stop where cars stand still to be repaired, but they can be pushed out of the area. When going for kills, team members will not engage each other.</p>
<p>There are different camera angles, a replay function, and both automatic and manual transmission. Next to quick races, the main portion of the game are the cups, unlocked one after another.</p>

<p>Based on the cyberpunk novel by William Gibson.  In a grimy future, you play Case, a cyberspace cowboy who finds himself broke in Chiba City.  Find yourself a laptop and the right software for it so you can hack into databases around the city to regain your access to cyberspace.  Buy and upgrade brain implant chips to augment your computer skills, and sell your body parts to afford new technologies.  When you get to cyberspace, you'll take on the nasty AIs that guard the most important databases.  Within all this information is the bizarre secret of this world of inbred corporations.</p>

<p>In <em>Millennia</em> you play a human who is snatched from his own space by a race called The Hoods, in order to take upon himself the mission of restoring balance to the dimension called Eschelon.</p>
<p>You are equipped with a time traveling, self-sufficient spaceship called XTM. Using it, you have to travel through time and establish the four indigenous species so that they're evolved enough to travel through space, all in an effort to stop the spread of the Viroid-Croids, or Microids in short, an evil and aggressive race with no regard for other lifeforms. Also, if you want to escape Eschelon, you will have to render the same four species evolved enough to generate replacement circuits for the ones damaged in your ship.</p>
<p>Your decisions will either get you out of Eschelon, destroy the Microids or, should you decide wrong, be the end of all life in Eschelon.</p>

<p>As the name implies, this is strictly a basketball game. It has a black-basketball theme (as seen in a lot of odd American movies) and has a myriad of game options (one on one, group, etc.).
Also, it has a betting option, but other than that it's your typical run-of-the-mill basketball game.</p>

<p>After having brought peace to Britannia during his <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/104/ultima-vi-the-false-prophet/">previous journey</a> there, the Avatar returns to our world. However, he is haunted by ghostly dreams that warn him of great danger in Britannia. The Avatar decides to travel there once again. Upon his arrival, he witnesses the kidnapping of Baron Almric's daughter. Found guilty of the crime, the Avatar is thrown into the Great Stygian Abyss with the choice of either finding the girl or rotting in the dungeon. On his journey, he will have to get along with the many inhabitants of the dungeon, who are survivors of a failed colony, and eventually find out that there's much more to this kidnapping than meets the eye.</p>
<p><em>Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss</em> is commonly considered the first role-playing game with fluid first-person movement in a real 3D environment. Unlike earlier first-person RPGs such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/834/dungeon-master/">Dungeon Master</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/835/eye-of-the-beholder/">Eye of the Beholder</a>, the player can move in every direction and the graphics are updated continually. The player is also able to look up and down with the press of a key, jump, and swim. The dungeon is not made entirely of corridors and rooms arranged in a rectangular fashion but has a lot of variety: slopes, stairs, bridges, underground rivers, and more.</p>
<p>The game's combat system is action-oriented. The player has to draw his weapon, aim at his opponent, and hold the cursor over the game screen to inflict damage; the longer the player holds it, the stronger is the attack. Some weapons have different types of attacks, depending on where the cursor is held: for example, jabs are executed when the cursor is near the bottom of the screen, while slashes are performed with the cursor in the middle.</p>
<p>At the beginning of the game, the player chooses the gender, the class, and the initial skills for the Avatar. Skills include various weapon proficiencies, lockpicking, bartering, and others. They can be increased by reciting mantras at special shrines after having accumulated a sufficient amount of experience points. Leveling up also increases the Avatar's hit points and mana. The magic system is based on runes that can be found in the Abyss. If combined in the right order, they produce a magical effect. </p>
<p>As the Abyss is populated by more than just monsters, there are various conversations the Avatar can conduct with non-playable characters. The player can also make choices regarding the Avatar's behavior towards these characters. Game progression is largely non-linear: the player is able to explore most of the Abyss in any order, though several specific tasks must be accomplished in order to complete the story. An auto-map displays all the locations the player has explored previously, and also allows the player to make notes on it.</p>

<p><em>Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds</em> takes place one year after the events of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/608/ultima-vii-the-black-gate/">Ultima VII: The Black Gate</a>. To celebrate the defeat of the Guardian, Lord British invites the Avatar and his companions to his castle. However, in the night of the feast the Guardian attacks again, encasing the castle in a giant gem of blackrock. Deep in the sewers of the castle, another blackrock gem is found, created as an aftereffect of the attack. This gem is a teleporter to other worlds controlled by the Guardian. Now the Avatar must travel to these worlds in order to free the castle from the Guardian's spell.</p>
<p>This sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/690/ultima-underworld-the-stygian-abyss/">Ultima Underworld</a> plays almost exactly as the original, with its 3D world, action-oriented combat, magic system and multiple-choice conversations. The player creates the character of Avatar, choosing gender, class, and initial skills. These range from weapon proficiencies to social abilities such as diplomacy and bartering. Some of the skills can be increased during the course of the game by visiting trainers. After having accumulated a sufficient amount of experience points, the Avatar levels up, and his hit points and mana are increased. Like its predecessor, the game features an interactive world: many objects can be manipulated and physically moved.</p>
<p>The game's storyline is more connected to the main <em>Ultima</em> series than that of its predecessor, and the game world is larger and has more variety: besides the usual castles and dungeons there are such diverse locations as an ice world, an alien place called Talorus and the enigmatic Ethereal Void. Graphics and sound have also been improved: the size of the viewing window has been increased, there are new monster graphics and the game now features digitized sound effects.</p>

<p>The Post-Terran Minerals Corporation (PTMC) digs up minerals on all nine planets of the solar system, employing humans and robots to do its job. Unfortunately, the mining robots are now being controlled by a hacker, and have taken the human workers hostage. The PTMC has tried to get the robots back under their control, but communication with the mining stations has been lost. In desperation, the PTMC modifies a Pyro-GX ship for combat and hires a mercenary, codenamed "Material Defender", to fly it. The mission is to destroy the infected mines and rescue human hostages, destroying any hostile robot that gets in the way.</p>
<p><em>Descent</em> is a 3D first-person game that puts the player at the controls of the Pyro-GX spaceship. <em>Descent</em> is notable in that the player travels through various interior locations (mines) but can do so in 720 degrees of movement. The ship however only moves forward and backward in any of the directions it is facing. The ship is able to use a variety of weapons scattered as power-ups throughout each level. They include: standard lasers, the Vulcan Cannon (a chaingun-like weapon), the Spreadfire Cannon (a rapidly firing, shotgun-like energy weapon), the Plasma Cannon (a rapidly firing energy weapon more suited for medium-range combat), and the Fusion Cannon (fires a ball of energy that's more powerful the longer it is charged it up, but could destroy the ship). All of these weapons, except for the Vulcan Cannon, use the ship's energy supply. The Pyro-PX is also capable of firing regular concussion missiles, homing missiles, proximity bombs (sits in the sky, then explodes when something gets close to it), smart missiles (more powerful homing missiles that fire out homing energy balls upon impact with their target), and Mega Missiles (the ultimate weapons of mass destruction).</p>
<p>The goal of each level is to locate and destroy the mine's reactor. Once completed, there are only 45 seconds to find the escape hatch to get out of the mine before it explodes. As progress is made through the game, the AI will adapt to player's strategies and attempt to prevent the player from reaching the goals.</p>

<p>The second Descent game features new levels, 
new weapons and new robot enemies. It also comes with helpful ideas for the player like the Guide-bot, the ability to fly with afterburner or energy-to-shield converter that many times they 
become a must!</p>

<p>The year is 1993. The protagonist's ancestors, the Winthrops, have obviously dealt with black magic and perhaps even pacts with the demons. Now their mansion is invaded by horrifying creatures, and it is up to the brave hero(ine) to venture inside, solve the mystery, and above all - survive.</p>
<p><em>The Legacy: Realm of Terror</em> is a role-playing game with adventure elements. The player navigates the protagonist through the 3D locations of the mansion from first-person perspective. The environment must be explored, and items procured in order to solve puzzles and advance in the game.</p>
<p>Beside these adventure game features, the game plays like a RPG, with character customization, equipment, and combat. The player can select one of the eight pre-made characters (four male, four female) to control in the game. Characters' attributes and skills are divided into three categories, which correspond to pure physical traits, supportive techniques (such as healing), and dexterity in usage of firearms and smaller melee weapons.</p>
<p>The player relies on magic spells in combat; those can be acquired and upgraded from spell pages found in the game world. There are offensive, supportive, and restorative spells in the game. Resting, consuming food, and even meditating affects the player character's condition as well.</p>
<p>Combat takes place in the same environment as exploration, utilizing a real-time system, which requires the player to quickly select commands ("Aim" and "Hit" for weapon attacks, and the corresponding spell icons for magic).</p>

<p>Take to the skies and fight your opponent (computer or human) on a split screen or null-modem link.  Takeoffs and landings are handled automatically, so players can focus on shooting each other down. Flyby replays are featured for crashes, so you can gloat over each victory. In one-player mode, the view from your opponent's plane is optional; either way you have a scanner to help locate them. Different levels of ammunition and missile stock can be set, to make for a variety of gameplay options. After the game has been ran for 3 hours, a hidden 'paper plane' mode is added, alongside a roster of topline machines such as the F-16 and MiG-29.</p>

<p><em>Across the Rhine: 1944 - 1945 Armored Combat in Western Europe</em> is a mix between strategy and simulation game set during WWII. The game focuses on single tank battles during the Allied invasion of Normandy - this means the player can't influence the overall outcome of the war. The battles are mostly historically accurate but some of them use hypothetical situations.</p>
<p>The basic situation however is always the same: the player is in charge of tank battalions and tries to defeat his enemy. The player is presented with several windows which show different information, e.g. a tactical map, a strategical map or a battlefield from a tank's view. The size and position of these windows can be freely arranged. From these windows he also gives orders to his tanks, e.g. assigning waypoints or changing the behaviour. All this is in real-time. The player has also the opportunity to directly take control over a tank - there he has the choice between several viewpoints, including the driver's or gunner's view, and controls movement and turret. Optionally the AI can take care of the movement. This part of the game is more simulation than action game.</p>
<p>During the three campaigns the player takes control over both parties. He assembles a soldier which, depending on the battle performances, gets promoted during the course of the game which results in the command over more units. There are also many options to set the realism of the game in different areas, e.g. manual fuel distribution, limited ammo, morale, air support or even invulnerability.</p>

<p>Command a squadron of rebel pilots to outfly and outsmart the Terran Overlord Government invasion force.</p>

<p>The first in a line of pinball games from 21st Century and Digital Illusions, with four tables covering themes such as the wild west for Steel Wheel, space rockets for Ignition, a haunted graveyard for Nightmare and pop music for Beat Box. </p>
<p>The portable versions for the Game Boy and Game Gear only have 3 of the 4 original tables with the removal of Beat Box.</p>
<p>The iPhone version includes updated graphics (optional) and gameplay in both portrait and landscape orientation.</p>

<p>The events of the game take place eighteen months after those described in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/608/ultima-vii-the-black-gate/">Ultima VII: The Black Gate</a>. Batlin, the leader of the Fellowship has disappeared, as well as Iolo's wife Gwenno. A map is found that points to the Serpent Isle where the Guardian is still planning to destroy Britannia. Lord British sends the Avatar and his companions to this new land. Once there, the Avatar discovers that a great imbalance is upon the isle and it is up to him to fix it. To do so, he must learn the philosophies of the original inhabitants of this land, who worshipped giant serpents symbolizing the principles of Order, Chaos and Balance.</p>
<p><em>Serpent Isle</em> uses virtually the same game engine as the first <em>Ultima VII</em>, with some slight modifications in inventory management and NPC portraits (which are now digitized images of actors). The story, however, is more linear and also more extensive. Unlike earlier <em>Ultima</em> games, many tasks have to be accomplished before the player is able to advance to a different area. There are also many scripted events that advance the plot, though the free-roaming is still retained to a large degree, with a vast amount of locations to visit, items to collect, and NPCs to interact with. Combat is handled similarly to the previous game, with a simple real-time point-and-click management of the Avatar's actions, while his/her party members are being controlled by the AI.</p>

<p>This compilation includes the campaigns from the original game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/240/star-wars-tie-fighter/">Star Wars: TIE Fighter</a>, the three campaigns from the add-on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4634/star-wars-tie-fighter-defender-of-the-empire/">Star Wars: TIE Fighter - Defender of the Empire</a> and also three new, never before released campaigns in a second add-on called <em>Enemies of the Empire</em>. In total there are more than 100 missions to fly and survive.</p>
<p>In addition to the new missions, there are also some technical improvements to the game:</p>
<ul>
<li>Improved screen resolution to SVGA (640*480)</li>
<li>Added new cut scenes</li>
<li>Full voice mission briefings and radio calls (the so called "Talkie" version)</li>
<li>Improved the interactive mission briefing</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Unlimited Adventures</em> allows players to create their own fantasy role-playing games, especially those set in the <em>Forgotten Realms</em> world, similar to <a href="/search/?q=SSI"> SSI</a>'s <a href="/search/?q=D%26D%2FAD%26D-Licensed+Games">AD&amp;D</a> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/8021/gold-box-series/">Gold Box series</a>. The game is required to play the worlds created with it.</p>
<p>In <em>Gold Box</em> games the player typically controls a party of adventurers, leading them through cities and dungeons (presented in first person perspective), talking to people, finding treasure, buying things in shops, fighting battles, etc. When combat begins, the screen switches to a top-down perspective where the player can control each party member while they fight the opponent. This is also how games created with <em>Unlimited Adventures</em> look. </p>
<p><strong>Construction Set</strong>  </p>
<p>The basic elements of each created game (i.e. design) are its modules, that is, the levels that the player will be travelling through. The designer builds the modules by arranging walls and choosing floors and ceilings. Then comes the most important part - setting up the events. The events control everything interesting that happens in the game: combats, text messages, Non-Player Characters (NPCs) joining/leaving the party, the party visiting a temple/shop/tavern, etc.</p>
<p><em>Unlimited Adventures</em> comes with a lot of art, depicting various monsters, characters, items, etc. It is also possible to import own art. There are a lot of pre-made monsters (e.g. goblins, dragons, zombies, etc.) and humanoid enemies (e.g. brigands, bandits, evil mages, etc.), which the designer can edit freely. </p>
<p><em>Unlimited Adventures</em> comes with a complete example design, "Heirs to Skull Crag".</p>

<p><em>Classic Text Adventure Masterpieces</em> is a compilation of 33 Infocom games: </p>

<p>Adaptation of the board game from FASA, the game offers a space fighter phased combat, in both skirmish and a campaign mode. The player may play as either side, the Terran Overlord Government or the Commonwealth Rebels.</p>

<p>The Edison mansion has always been a creepy old house on the edge of town. There have been rumors of strange experiments going on and of odd creatures living amongst the Edison family. There is even a story that a meteorite once crashed near the home nearly 20 years ago. More immediately, a girl named Sandy has gone missing from the local highschool and her boyfriend Dave swears that he saw Dr. Fred abducting her. Dave knows that he cannot do it alone and will need help from two other students if he has any hope of infiltrating the mansion and rescuing Sandy.</p>
<p>Players start by choosing two students to accompany Dave to the Edison mansion, and can then switch between these three characters at will. Most actions are carried out by selecting verbs on the screen and applying them to an object (such as "OPEN Door"). Each character maintains a separate personality and may have a different way to solve a problem from his classmates. Thus many of the puzzles can be overcome in different ways depending on the character being used. If any one of the kids are captured by the Edisons, they are thrown into the dungeon and must be rescued themselves by any character who still has their freedom.</p>

<p><em>Crusaders of the Dark Savant</em> is the seventh installment of the <em>Wizardry</em> series and a direct sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/724/wizardry-bane-of-the-cosmic-forge/">Bane of the Cosmic Forge</a>. In the end of the previous game, the party of heroes finally acquired the Cosmic Forge. However, before they were able to decide what to do with it, it was taken away by a servant of the Cosmic Lords, the cyborg Aletheides. It appears that the Cosmic Forge was in fact a clue to the location of the Astral Dominae, the artifact of life, somewhere on the planet Guardia, which has now been revealed to the universe.</p>
<p>The heroes then travel to Guardia, which is populated by many races and organizations with their own agendas, including the rhinoceros-like Imperial Umpani Federation and the spidery T'Rang affiliated with a malevolent being known as the Dark Savant, whose goal is to get rid of the Cosmic Lords. All these factions are looking for the Astral Dominae, finding which is the primary goal of the game. Depending on the decisions made by the player in the previous game (should he opt to import the party from there), the game will have different openings and begin in different locations. However, regardless of the initial premise, the player is free to follow or betray whatever faction he was supposed to be allied with. </p>
<p>The gameplay system is very similar to that of its predecessor, retaining the races, the classes, the skills and the magic system it introduced to the series. The trademark first-person exploration and turn-based combat are present as well. Unlike the previous games, <em>Crusaders of the Dark Savant</em> allows the player to explore towns and vast forest areas between them, in addition to several large dungeons situated in different areas of the game world. Many NPCs have their own agendas and may move between locations as well, and even obtain crucial items themselves if the player-controlled party is not quick enough, forcing the player to change plans. The exotic setting contains elements of science fiction on top of the traditional fantasy background. Like in the previous game, encounters, events, as well as the heroes' reflections upon them are described through text messages.</p>
<p>A few skills have been added, including swimming and climbing, as well as diplomacy. The latter reflects the more important role dialogues and interaction with NPCs play in the game compared to the previous installments of the series. A mapping skill has been added, which, if learned, displays - for the first time in the computer releases of Wizardry games - an automap on top of the exploration screen. Skills are increased with repeated usage and the characters now receive separate bonus points for each category (weapon, physical, and academia). Like before, magic is divided into four schools (Psionics, Alchemy, Theology, and Thaumaturgy) and six elemental categories.</p>

<p>Six months after the events of <em>Pharaoh's Tomb</em>, the young assistant-turned-treasure hunter Nevada Smith yearns for another discovery. Not willing to take his previous exploits as "beginner's luck" as accused by so called experts, Nevada has been determined to find another great prize to find. </p>
<p>One night while scouring old tomes in the university's library, Nevada finds mention of a band of Vikings who, after a large looting raid, had hidden their ship-full of ancient treasures somewhere in an Arctic cave. Being distrustful of each other, the band of Vikings, tore up the map that lead to the cave into four pieces and hid them as well. Only by putting the map together again would they be able to return to their treasure but as fate would have it after hiding their loot and map pieces the Vikings hit a powerful storm on their venture back and were lost at sea taking with them their secrets.</p>
<p>Deciding that he must go in search of this treasure our determined hero asks his old professor Dr. Jones to assist him on his quest. Dr. Jones, though flattered, turns down Nevada due to his large workload but not before tossing Nevada a little parting gift to help him on his quest. There, inside a wrap of cloth if Dr. Jones' trusty old .38 caliber revolver. After running back to his apartment and quickly packing Nevada hitches a ride on an Arctic bound freighter to start his <em>Arctic Adventure</em>.</p>
<p>In this sequel to <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/pharaohs-tomb">Pharaoh's Tomb</a>, players again control Nevada Smith. As opposed to the first game the player this time around starts out on a map of caves. Some caves need keys to unlock them while others are accessible only by finding a boat first. In this way the player has some choice over which level they'd like to tackle first. Control-wise Nevada can walk side to side, jump and shoot a gun, for which ammo must be collected on levels. Pick-axes must also be collected to break blocks of ice in your path. Along your journey the player will run into multitudes of enemies from, Yeti to penguins which can be either avoided since they are restricted to moving in strict patterns or dispatched with your revolver. There are of course traps abound in the caves and most will be found too late by players. Natural hazards and obstacles such as spike pits, rolling boulders, and piercing icicles are another thing to be on the watch for. Lastly another introduction in this sequel is the presence of icy cave floors. Players must judge their movements carefully to control themselves and predict the predicament they may find themselves in by stepping on to the ice covered platforms.</p>
<p>The entire game is split into four volumes comprised of twenty levels each with the first volume being the shareware version of the game. The volumes are simply titled Vol.1, Vol.2, Vol.3 and Vol.4. Keys and special items must be collected before advancing on to locked levels. The players have five lives but a save mode is available allowing the players to prolong their adventure. Saves can be made on the map screen and cannot be made while part-way through a level. A high-score table is available from the main menu displaying the top five scores.</p>

<p><em>Leisure Suit Larry Collection Series</em> is, as the name implies, a collection of all <em>Leisure Suit Larry</em> games from 1 to 6 (with the exception of <em>Leisure Suit Larry 4: The Case of the Missing Floppies</em>, which never came out because "Larry doesn't believe in 4-play").</p>
<p>The collection comes on two discs, where the first contains DOS versions of the following games:</p>

<p>Purple Tentacle, one of the crazy Dr. Fred's creations, drinks contaminated water from Dr. Fred's Sludge-o-matic. He mutates into an insane genius and grows arms, and now he's plotting to take over the world. In an effort to stop him, Dr. Fred sends three friends, Bernard, Hoagie, and Laverne back in time to yesterday, in order for them to turn off the Sludge-o-Matic and stop the sludge from spilling into the river, thus preventing the whole incident. Naturally, the cheap doctor uses a fake diamond over a real one in his time machine, which blows up sending Hoagie 200 years into the past and Laverne 200 years into the future. </p>
<p>Now the player must bring back Hoagie and Laverne, with the help of the time machine's ability to move objects between time periods, and then stop evil Purple from taking over the world.</p>
<p><em>Day of the Tentacle</em> is a point-and-click adventure game and a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/714/maniac-mansion/">Maniac Mansion</a>. The player controls Bernard, and later also Hoagie and Laverne, being able to switch between them at any time. By using the commands at the bottom of the screen, the character can pick up items, use them on other things, talk to people, and more. Any of the three friends can also send his items across time to another friend. </p>
<p>The game takes place in the same area, but in three different eras, and thus affecting history takes a vital part in some puzzles. For instance, Hoagie can hide an item in the 18th century, and Laverne discovers it in the 23rd century - but by then, the item may have been affected by time and changed its properties. </p>
<p>The CD version of the game contains voice-overs for all the dialogues.</p>

<p><em>Ultima VIII: Pagan</em> begins where <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/704/ultima-vii-part-two-serpent-isle/">Ultima VII: Part Two - Serpent Isle</a> ended. The Guardian banishes the Avatar to the land of Pagan, a world under his control. Stranded in this unknown land, without his companions to help him, the Avatar's goal is to find a way back to Britannia. He has to confront four Titans in this world who are embodiments of the four elements, as well as master different styles of magic and fight many opponents on his way.</p>
<p>The gameplay is significantly more action-oriented in this installment than in the previous <em>Ultima</em> games. The Avatar is able to jump and climb, and some puzzles are based on these abilities, adding platform-style elements to the game. There are no companions to help him in battles; combat is action-based and relies on the player's dexterity. The game also abandons the leveling system of the previous entries, utilizing instead a training-based approach, similar to the one implemented in <a href="/search/?q=quest+for+glory">Quest for Glory</a> games: the character's parameters are increased by continuously using correspondent actions (e.g. the Avatar's strength gradually increases as he swings his weapon). </p>
<p>Magic occupies an important place in the game, also departing from the style of the preceding games. The player still needs to gather reagents for spells; however, the exact preparation and casting of the spell differs depending on the elemental school it belongs to. There are four different magic schools in the game, and mastering their spells bears plot-related importance as well. </p>
<p>Like in the two previous <em>Ultima</em> installments, the game features physical interactivity with the environment: the player is able to take, drop, and move most objects from place to place. As opposed to the topic-based dialogue style of the earlier games in the series, <em>Pagan</em> uses conversations with selectable responses. It also reduces NPC interaction, focusing more on exploration of a hostile world and combat.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2096/pagan-ultima-viii-speech-pack/">speech pack</a> was released separately, which added voices to some of the major game characters. It was included in the <a href="/search/?q=Pagan:+Ultima+VIII+(Gold+Edition)">CD-ROM edition</a> of the game.</p>

<p>It is said the the Cosmic Forge is a magical pen possessing an enormous power: whatever is written with it instantly becomes true. A group of explorers ventures into the castle that where the king, the queen, and the wizard who created the pen used to dwell. Nobody knows what has been happening there for the last hundred years, since nobody dares to enter the haunted castle. As the heroes step in, the doors behind them close forever. They are left alone to discover the truth about the Cosmic Forge and the drama that occurred between the castle's inhabitants.</p>
<p><em>Bane of the Cosmic Forge</em> is the sixth entry in the Wizardry series. While retaining the basic premise of creating a party of up to six adventurers to roam first-person dungeons and fight enemies in turn-based combat, this installment contains numerous enhancements and new features. It is the first game in the series to feature full color graphics and a mouse-driven interface. Combat options are more detailed, with precise weapon moves (such as thrust and bash) available. Magic is divided into six different schools, the spellcaster's powers increasing if he or she concentrates on one of them. Picking locks or disarming traps by thief-like classes is done actively by participating in a simple minigame. Characters can learn skills unique to their class when leveling up. These skills range from weapon proficiencies to field abilities that can be used outside of combat.</p>
<p>In addition to the traditional races of humans, elves, dwarves, hobbits, and gnomes, the player can choose between the Lizardman, the cat-like Felpurr, the canine Rawulf, the pixie-like Faerie, the intimidating Dracon, and the furry Mook. Each race has its own strengths and weaknesses, as well as predispositions to certain classes. Exotic character classes such as Valkyrie, Alchemist, Psionic, Ninja, Samurai, and Monk are also available during character creation, though they require a higher amount of bonus points received during the initial dice roll. It is also possible for characters to switch to another class during the course of the game.</p>
<p>Conversations with NPCs have been extended, the player being able to talk about various topics with the same character. The game also features a branching storyline: depending on the player's choice to believe or mistrust a key character, the plot will split into different directions, resulting in several different endings. The entire game takes place within the castle and its surroundings, without the possibility to travel back to the town or create other characters after the game has started. Unlike the previous entries, it is possible to save the game anywhere manually.</p>

<p><em>S.D.I.</em> takes place in the year 2017 of an alternate timeline, in which the Soviet Union continued to exist and pose a threat to the countries of the free world. USA launched another Strategic Defense Initiative, its commander-in-chief being General Sloan McCormick. A Soviet extremist group consisting of KGB members has gained control of space launch facilities, and began firing nuclear missiles at America. McCormick must fulfill his duty, but his heart belongs to a woman who is on the opposing side. He controls a space-based fighter, trying to neutralize enemy missiles. Defense satellites must be repaired as well, and enemy bases infiltrated in order to rescue his beloved one and save his nation and the world.</p>

<p>A text-mode action/puzzle game. You have to get to the exit on each level, which is made more difficult by obstacles such as trees (which can be destroyed) and monsters. Various puzzles (in the form of one-off objects) are also used.</p>

<p>A sequel of sorts to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/728/kingdom-of-kroz/">Kingdom of Kroz</a>. Although the gameplay and most of the levels remain the same, there were changes made to 17 of the levels. The basic aim of getting to the exit of each level remains the same, as do the puzzles and monsters.</p>

<p><em>Caverns of Kroz</em> is a continuation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/728/kingdom-of-kroz/">Kingdom of Kroz</a>, and the third game in the original <em>Kroz</em> trilogy. The same formula of puzzles mixed with action applies to this text-mode game.</p>

<p><em>Dungeons of Kroz</em> is the second installment of the <em>Kroz</em> trilogy - this game is very similar to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/728/kingdom-of-kroz/">Kingdom of Kroz</a>, only differing in level design and puzzles.</p>

<p>This is the first game of the Super Kroz trilogy. Despite the name, it's very much more of the same - more puzzles, more monsters to kill or avoid, and even more levels.</p>

<p>The second part of the Super Kroz trilogy is once again more or less the same as its predecessors - move your player through levels killing and avoiding monsters, while solving puzzles.</p>

<p>The final part of the Super Kroz trilogy. Although the aims are the same as before (i.e. solve puzzles and kill monsters to solve levels), the ultimate aim of the Kroz series was achieved: to collect a certain amulet.</p>

<p>This larger than usual <em>Kroz</em> game (75 levels worth) has the same elements that were present in the previous installments: monsters, puzzles and plenty of levels.</p>

<p>Defend Earth from destruction from the onslaught of the Xidus fleet.  Your state-of-the-art ship is equiped with a limitless supply of ammunition, and in addition has missles, bombs, and a retractable claw used for retrieving ship upgrades during the heat of battle.</p>

<p><em>The Hidden Worlds</em> is Bullfrog's add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Magic+Carpet">Magic Carpet</a>. It features tougher missions and computer opponents in new landscapes with new spells.</p>

<p>Take control of The Fleet (humans), the Khalians, or five other races as you battle for control of the local cluster with your fleet and conquer enemy planets with your group troops. Build research centers to obtain better ships. Use your racial special unit to gain advantage on the ground or in space. Play random map or one of the built-in scenarios that can vary from one ship vs. one ship to full galactic war (variable galaxy sizes). Are you worthy of the title Star General?</p>
<p>Star General can be best described as "Panzer General in Space". Turn-by-turn, the ships in Star General move exactly like the ground units move in Panzer General. "Spatial features" like nebula, cosmic string, and such work exactly like "terrain" on earth. Even the combat mechanics are nearly identical, where ships are rated in missile and beam values, like the ground units are rated in hard vs. soft assault values. It has several novel features though. Inclusion of a full AI capable of playing to death instead of relying on turn-limits is a first. Having the ground units land on planets after the space war concluded and fight a separate ground battle. Research is minimal (only 4 generic levels) and ships cannot be customized. This game is Panzer General with a space theme.</p>

<p><em>Ecstatica</em> is a 3D action game with adventure elements, where you must free the young sorceress Ecstatica from the unholy spell cast by vile supernatural forces. The peaceful village of Tirich was invaded by horrifying monsters. You are a lonely adventurer looking for shelter who finds himself in the role of a hero who must awaken Ecstatica, save the village and its inhabitants, and defeat the forces of darkness who are pulling the triggers behind the scene. </p>
<p>This is a survival horror game, somewhat similar in gameplay style to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/325/alone-in-the-dark/"> Alone in the Dark</a>. Walk around and examine your environment, gather materials you need to solve puzzles, and gather weapons to defend yourself against the minions of evil. The hero or heroine can walk, sneak (in order to avoid fighting monsters) or run. He fights in real time, striking with melee, and later also long-ranged weapons, and parrying the opponents' hits when necessary.</p>

<p><em>Headline Harry and The Great Paper Race</em> is an educational game about historical events of 20th century United States. </p>
<p>As a new reporter for Headline Harry, the editor of the US Daily Star, the player must prove themselves by going out and getting the story fast and right. Opposing the player are Marvin Muckraker and his reporters for the Diabolical Daily, a sensationalistic tabloid paper, whose stories are quite funny, as they mix the facts of various stories up into one. The player travels from place to place all over the USA, getting leads on stories from 1950-1990, such as the NASA moon landing or the Beatles' appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. </p>
<p>The game offers several assignments, each of which has the player chasing a different story. In each location, the player can talk to people, read books, listen to the radio, or listen to recordings on a tape. Each of these actions will typically give the player vital facts about some event, which need to be gathered in their trusty notebook. To make matters more difficult, these facts can pertain to several unrelated stories, and it's up to the player to identify which story they should focus on. Once the player has discovered and entered all the key facts — a year, a date, a location, an event, names of key people, and key words — the story can be filed, rewarding the player with an article that describes the historical event accurately. </p>
<p>However, each assignment has a time limit, consumed by traveling and fact-gathering. Should the player run out of time, he will instead be presented with the Diabolical Daily's nonsensical article that mangles the historical facts. Time can also be lost by random events, and regained by finding items dropped by the competing reporters.</p>

<p>Sam and Max - a canine shamus and a hyperkinetic rabbit - are the freelance police: private investigators who receive missions from and are answerable to "The Commissioner". Upon the completion of a rescue mission from the clutches of a mad scientist, the duo drives through the opening credits and immediately receives a new assignment: Bruno the Bigfoot is missing from the circus and seems to have kidnapped Trixie, the Giraffe-Neck Girl. Sam and Max are on the case and will follow the mystery all across the United States, even if it takes them to such locations as The World's Largest Ball of Twine and The Mount Rushmore Dinosaur Tarpit.</p>
<p><em>Sam &amp; Max Hit the Road</em> is a puzzle-solving point-and-click adventure game. The player directly controls Sam, though Max will usually follow closely behind and is even available to use directly as an item in the inventory. Sam is able to be directed anywhere on the screen, look at objects, try to use objects, try to speak to objects and use items from his inventory on objects. Sam and Max must unravel the mystery piece by piece in order to unlock new locations on their map. They can travel between these locations at any time by using the car keys on their police car. </p>
<p>During conversation, the player is able to make Sam ask questions of persons, speak non-sequitur exclamations, or ask about specific objects, people, and locations (which are also unlocked as clues are discovered). The verb interface from previous LucasArts adventure games has been modified to icon-based commands, allowing the entire screen to be used for the playing area, similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/22646/sierra/">Sierra</a> titles.</p>
<p>The game also features a variety of mini-games, which can be accessed at any time once found. These include Highway-Surfing: a game where the player must jump over exit signs on the interstate, Car Bomb: a variant of <a href="/search/?q=battleship">Battleship</a>, a Sam &amp; Max coloring book, a Sam &amp; Max dress-up game, and a <a href="/search/?q=whac-a-mole">Whac-a-Mole</a> variant entitled Wak-A-Rat. The CD version of the game includes voice-overs for all the conversations.</p>

<p>As a covered wagon party of pioneers, you head out west from Independence, Missouri to the Willamette River and valley in Oregon. You first must stock up on provisions, and then, while traveling, make decisions such as when to rest, how much food to eat, etc. <em>The Oregon Trail</em> incorporates simulation elements and planning ahead, along with discovery and adventure, as well as mini-game-like activities (hunting and floating down the Dalles River).</p>

<p>Legions of alien Cybernetic Clones (CyClones) have devastated the Earth. Humanity's only hope lies with Havoc, himself a cybernetic warrior that had been manipulated by the CyClones to do their evil bidding. Havoc must fight the CyClones without mercy, protecting the Earth and avenging his own past.</p>
<p><em>CyClones</em> is a first-person shooter (FPS) in which the player controls Havoc, exploring maze-like environments and blasting hostile aliens with a variety of firearms. The game is notable for pioneering the use of mouse control in games of its genre, allowing the player to aim independently of movement and move the aiming cursor to any part of the screen. Power-ups can be collected and stored in the player's inventory, bestowing combat-related benefits upon Havoc when used. Three-dimensional level maps can be brought up by pressing a key.</p>
<p>Another feature the game introduces to the genre is stealth. While the vast majority of the game consists of combat, there are a few stages which require the player to avoid it and stay unnoticed by the enemies, moving silently. A tutorial level also makes its first FPS appearance in <em>CyClones</em>, instructing the player in basic gameplay mechanics.</p>

<p>Somewhere in the universe, there is a beautiful planet called Twinsun. It is populated by four different races, which have been living in peace and prosperity, until a mad scientist Dr. Funfrock of the Quetch (human-like) race used his newly invented cloning and teleporting techniques to create an army of fearsome soldiers and become the planet's dictator. Twinsun's inhabitants have not lost hope, placing their faith in the old legend about the benevolent goddess Sendell who would save the world. However, Dr. Funfrock totalitarian regime forbade displaying any images of the goddess and her worship. </p>
<p>A young Quetch named Twinsen was just a regular fellow until he had a dream, which surprisingly involved the outlawed goddess. It seems that Dr. Funfrock was no stranger to mind control; in his opinion, even dreaming of the goddess was illegal, and he promptly ordered to put the perpetrator in prison. Now the unlikely hero must find a way to escape and eventually save his planet from the clutches of its insane ruler.</p>
<p><em>Little Big Adventure</em> (<em>Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure</em> in the US) is primarily an adventure game with strong action elements. As usually in adventure games, the hero must talk to other characters, and collect and use objects. However, not all the problems have to be solved with dialogue and item manipulation. The player can activate four different behavior modes for Twinsen: Normal, Aggressive, Athletic, and Discreet. The first is used for peaceful exploration and conversations; Aggressive mode allows Twinsen to punch and kick other characters; Athletic mode must be applied when it becomes necessary to run quickly and jump; Discreet effectively puts Twinsen in a stealth mode, making it possible to sneak by hostile character unnoticed. While activation of a particular mode is often required to solve a problem, many situations can be dealt with in different ways.</p>
<p>The game universe is rendered with characters in full 3D, while the environment uses isometric graphic tiles. The CD version (which was released earlier than the floppy one) features pre-rendered animated cutscenes, audio music and speech; all these features are absent from the floppy disk version.</p>

<p>Don Diego Vega has a secret identity - that of Zorro, a masked swordsman who has sworn to protect the innocents of California, at the time a Spanish colony. Among the powerful and corrupted men there is Don Cortez, who hopes to gain even more power by discovering an ancient treasure. Honoring his word, Zorro sets out to stop the Cortez, alone against nearly impossible odds...</p>
<p>Based on the series of books by <a href="/search/?q=Johnston+McCulley">Johnston McCulley</a>, <em>Zorro</em> is a side-scrolling platform game that has certain similarities to <a href="/search/?q=Prince+de+Perse">Prince of Persia</a> and other so-called "cinematic platformers". The emphasis of the gameplay is on careful advancement through the levels and physical activities such as jumping and climbing. Zorro has two weapons at his disposal - a whip and a sword; the sword is more powerful, but the whip has a longer range. </p>
<p>The game utilizes cutscenes with live actors to advance the story.</p>

<p><em>Lexi-Cross</em> is a TV show simulation based on elements from <a href="/search/?q=Wheel+of+Fortune">Wheel of Fortune</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Scrabble">Scrabble</a> in a humorous futuristic setting. Competing either against other living creatures (humans, aliens) or against robots, you must flip the tiles and use the revealed letters to form the correct words. The game features more than 600 puzzles.</p>

<p><em>Robbo</em> is a side-scrolling puzzle solving action game, similar to <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a>.</p>
<p>The player directs the robot, named Robbo. His goal is to collect all the screws on the planet needed to repair the ship and reach his flying capsule, avoiding alien forms of life and numerous traps. The players will encounter many obstacles on their way, for example chests that will have to move properly, closed doors requiring to find the key, deadly cannons or electromagnets attracting metal objects. Robbo can use the gun after finding ammunition, bombs placed on the board and travel through teleporters.</p>
<p>The original Atari 8-bit version has 56 levels, the DOS version added four additional levels for a total 60, and the Atari ST version has the original Atari 8-Bit levels plus an additional 80 levels for a total of 136 levels.</p>

<p>This is a platform game with puzzle elements. You have to guide Jacek, the Electroman, around the levels, using such things as teleporters, while shooting enemies and collecting weapon power-ups. This latter activity is essential - over a period of time, your weapon downgrades itself, until you can't actually fire at all.</p>
<p>The game features in total 8 levels, on which there are three microchips that must be collected in order to proceed to the next. The difficulty level is very steep, and each death sets you back to your previously visited checkpoint, but fortunately already collected microchips stay collected. Checkpoints also serve as an additional difficulty factor, as once touched, they remove all your weapons, leaving you unarmed.</p>
<p>Unlike many platformers, you can't control your jumping mid-air, and the main protagonist can only jump and fall at a given angle. This proves an extra challenge as when there are enemies above or below you, perfect timing is essential in order to succeed. </p>
<p>Apart from the title screen, only the last level, which really is just a credit to the producers, has background music.</p>

<p>A game that's very similar to <a href="/search/?q=boulder+dash"> Boulder Dash</a> - the basic idea of collecting things while avoiding being crushed is the same. The protagonist of the game is a dwarf named Mosiek, who decided to marry Rachel. A necessary condition, however, is showing the cunning and skill. He goes to a magical world in order to collect all the hearts. Assisting in completing the task are bombs and balloons, disturb stones and walls. In each level player must collect all the hearts, in order to open a door-portal to the next stage. The game features 64 levels.</p>

<p><em>Wolf</em> is an educational simulation game, in which the player takes control of a wolf. The game offers both a free-form simulation mode, and various scenarios where the player must complete a specific objective within the allotted time. The game simulates all the aspects of a wolf's life, including hunting, mating, and challenging the packmates. There are three different regions available, corresponding to three species of wolf: arctic, timber and Great Plains wolf. </p>
<p>Moving around is done by directing the wolf with the mouse cursor. Several movement speed are possible, with the fastest (running) depleting the wolf's stamina level. There are several senses available to the wolf which allow detecting nearby things, such as animals, water or humans. The senses include hearing, smelling, looking and following tracks. Using the senses show the rough direction, distance and nature of a given object of interest. The wolf also has a "sixth sense" which warns him about the presence of nearby humans. </p>
<p>Hunting (whether small game such as rabbits, or large beasts such as deer) is done by clicking on the prey animal to make the wolf pounce. Smaller animals are killed instantly if the wolf manages to grab them, while the larger ones need to be successfully worried to death, and the unlucky wolf can potentially get injured in the attempt. The chance of success is the greater, the stronger the wolf is and the more packmates are in the vicinity. After killing the animal, the wolf can eat to satisfy his hunger. A wolf's injuries heal automatically if he is well-fed. </p>
<p>Within his pack, the wolf can challenge other wolves in order to rise in the pack hierarchy. During the fight, the player's control is limited to changing the position of the wolf's tail, from raised (aggressive) to lowered (submissive, surrendering.)</p>
<p>After raising his wolf to the alpha status, the player can mate with an alpha of the opposite sex if conditions are favorable. After mating, the female becomes pregnant and eventually gives birth to cubs, which must be kept alive by bringing them food. Cubs can be named by the player, and become full-fledged pack members once they reach a year of age. </p>
<p>Humans are extremely dangerous and should be avoided. Many of them carry rifles which are guaranteed to kill in one or two shots. Sometimes, hunters in helicopters or planes (visible as shadows on the ground) also appear; the wolf must stay out of the shadow to avoid getting instantly shot to death. </p>
<p>Educational information about wolves is shown at certain points, and the game features an interactive encyclopedia with a variety of information about the wolves' biology and society.</p>

<p>The merchants who live on the three planets of the Caldorre star system have been recently assaulted and robbed by groups of mysterious space raiders. Giant battleships were set to eliminate the threat; however, the raiders proved to be too agile, dodging them easily. A smaller, interceptor-class vessel is now dispatched to Caldorre to deal with the problem.</p>
<p><em>Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic</em> is an open-ended sci-fi role-playing game. It has a combination of role-playing character building, customizable spaceship combat, and exploration. The player will guide his team, flying through space and exploring the surfaces and bases of a few planets to unravel the mystery that's disturbing the known universe.</p>
<p>The game opens with a mission to protect a merchant shipment, which involves space combat against enemy ships. Afterwards, the player is free to explore the planets, mining them for resources, talking to characters to receive clues, trading, acquiring better weapons and armor for the crew, and upgrading the space ship.</p>
<p>The player can use a pre-generated party of five characters or create them from scratch, rolling their attributes. There are five character classes, but they have little impact on ground combat, with the exception of the communicator officer, who interacts with NPCs, and the medic, who has access to healing abilities. Characters also have skills, including various weapon proficiencies as well as communication skills such as bribery. Skills can be increased when characters level up.</p>
<p>Space travel, combat, and planet exploration are done in 2D. The player can land in any spot on the three planets of the star system and explore them by navigating an armored ground vehicle. Certain structures can be entered. At that point the game switches to 3D vector graphics, though the party, NPCs and enemies are always superimposed on the radar. Both space and ground combat in the game proceed in real time. In indoor locations the player directly controls only the party leader, while the AI manages the actions of the others.</p>
<p>The game features "paragraph books", where characters mention a paragraph number to read from the booklet, instead of getting the text in-game. This functions as copy protection, making the game require guesswork to complete without the manual.</p>

<p>In one bad day for humans, mankind was overwhelmed by an alien's captors. It was written year 2013 and human armies lasted only several weeks. And now it's over. These who had been talented become robots, with embedded control chip to assure theirs obedience, serving as supervisors in remaining human colonies. You are one of them, when your transport is hit by a laser beam coming from the surface on a routine way to your new assignment, shortening out your obedience chip circuits. The transport boat lands in hurry and you see yourself like only one leaving it.</p>
<p><em>Colony 28</em> is a side-view shooter. The goal is clear: equipped by a strong robotic body, combining alien and human technologies you must seek how to destroy an alien ship from which they dominate the Earth and control all units. To your robotic arm is mounted machine gun, which supports three sorts of ammo. When it happens that you will run out of it, you can still rely on your robotic fists. Game supports an inventory, provides a few riddles and combat is realized through "Hide and Shoot" strategy - else you are no more.</p>

<p>A collection of thinking games inspired by the existing Putt-Putt games, including checkers, pinball, and tic-tac-toe.  Intended as non-violent rainy-day fun for youngsters.</p>

<p><em>Mixed-Up Mother Goose</em> is a classic "Sierra-style" adventure game for kids, based on the various classic nursery rhymes (Humpty Dumpty, etc.). All the rhymes from all over the land have gotten mixed up, and it is up to the child to find the missing pieces and give them back to who needs them.</p>

<p>Play six different card games (Crazy Eights, Old Maid, Hearts, Gin Rummy, Cribbage, and Klondike Solitaire) against 0-3 computer opponents (as appropriate for each game).  </p>
<p>There are 18 available computer opponents, including characters from other Sierra games (Colonel Henry Dijon, Shelly LeBlanc, Officer Sonny Bonds, Larry Laffer, King Graham, Roger Wilco and Princess Rosella), Sierra employees (Warren Schwader and Jerry Moore) and their children, and others.  The different opponents play the different games at different skill levels, and are broken up into "Serious" and "Not-So-Serious" categories.  All the opponents will taunt you (in character) as you play (though you can turn off in-game conversation if it's too distracting).</p>

<p>The Kingdom of Albereth was under attack of barbarian forces. King Valwyn drove the barbarians away, but was wounded in battles. Searching for a place where he could rest and restore his strength, he left the city - but never returned. Now, a new hero must rise and defend his homeland.</p>
<p><em>Times of Lore</em> is an action game with light role-playing elements, which follows the adventures of a young warrior (strong barbarian, armored knight, or quick valkyrie) to assist a weakened kingdom from various threats, and to recover special Artifacts that once made the kingdom strong.</p>
<p>Gameplay consists of moving the protagonist in real-time (day and night) through various terrains, like forests, towns, and dungeons. The player character gathers basic items, like health and magic potions, and increasingly powerful weapons as he completes tasks and advances the plot. Conversations are handled through key phrases. Battles involve a few types of creatures (skeletons, orcs, rogues) of which there can be various flavors.</p>

<p>The discovery of an alien craft entering our solar system causes quite a stir. When the small craft is accidentally fired upon, it creates a strange electromagnetic effect that envelops the Earth, causing it to disappear. While its gravity remains, the physical Earth simply isn't there. The moonbase, surviving on scrounged resources and manpower, builds an interstellar ship. A team of four specialists is then sent into deep space to find unique parts for the construction of the Centauri Drive, a machine that the moonbase scientists hope will cause a reverse effect.</p>
<p><em>Planet's Edge</em> is a sci-fi role-playing game with space exploration and other gameplay elements, including spaceship combat, mining for resources, trading, and light puzzle-solving. The game begins on the moonbase, where the player can access the shipyard, crew quarters, warehouse, and research lab. The player is put in control of four pre-made characters: William Dean (pilot), Katya Mershova (weapons officer), Nelson Ngatadatu (engineer), and Osai Tsakafuchi (medic) . Each of these characters can be cloned for different attribute rolls, while retaining their primary skills: astrogation and ship weapons for William; light, heavy, and hand weapons for Katya; ship repair and computers for Nelson; and first aid and xenobiology for Osai. Unlike most role-playing games, characters do not receive experience points and can only become stronger by equipping better weapons and armor.</p>
<p>The game is completely open-ended, allowing the player to travel to any of the dozens of stars. The player physically navigates the ship on an overhead screen. Entering a star system enlarges the view, allowing the ship to orbit a planet. Though most planets cannot be landed on, a large amount remains that can be explored on foot from a top-down view similar to that of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/104/ultima-vi-the-false-prophet/">Ultima VI</a>. Each planet is represented by an enclosed populated area, usually containing friendly NPCs as well as enemies. Advancing the storyline involves gathering clues from various characters as well as obtaining objects, many of which have to be used in other locations in a puzzle-like fashion. Combat on the ground is turn-based and can be avoided in most cases.</p>
<p>Planets can also be mined for various elements such as organics, metals, liquids, etc. These elements can be then brought back to the moonbase, where they can be used to produce better equipment for the crew members or upgrade the spaceship. Alien technological blueprints can also be recovered and used in the research laboratory to develop new ship models. The spaceship can carry cargo between planets, which can be traded or used to bribe hostile aliens. If the bribe is unsuccessful or the player decides not to resort to it, a fight against a hostile ship ensues. These fights are action-based, requiring the player to manoeuvre the ship in real time while shooting at the opponent.</p>

<p><em>The Last Bounty Hunter</em> is a simple shooter in the tradition of <a href="/search/?q=American+Laser+Games">American Laser Games</a>'s <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/457/mad-dog-mccree/">Mad Dog McCree</a>. Fairly simple in design, it features a video background with which you interact - you use your mouse or a light gun to literally shoot your foes and protect the innocent.</p>
<p>The story is this: you're a bounty hunter, one of the last, who come to a crime-infested Wild Western town to aid its Sheriff in getting rid of the criminals.</p>

<p><em>Drug Wars</em> is another in the long line of traditional <a href="/search/?q=American+Laser+Games">American Laser Games</a> arcade-conversion shooters. It's a straightforward FMV shooter game in which you fight the usual gang of not-so-law-abiding citizens in a typical small town.</p>

<p>Another in the series of slugfest games by American Laser Games is <em>Space Pirates</em>. While it resembles <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/767/the-last-bounty-hunter/">The Last Bounty Hunter</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Crime+Patrol+2:+%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%B5+%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B9%D0%BD%D1%8B">Drug Wars</a>, it is science-fiction oriented and presents a space theme.</p>

<p>The planet Ioxia is vital to your society, as nowhere else provides the vital element Mazrium. However, its long dormant alien forces have been woken up, and must be destroyed by a one-man army. You must fly into the Citadel to destroy its power source.</p>
<p><em>Eradicator</em> combines first-person shooter action and puzzle solving, with an ability to toggle 3-rd person view. There are 20 different weapons, with the missiles you control after launching perhaps the most unusual. The single-player levels plus five more are all available for multi-player action.</p>
<p>Three distinct characters are on offer: choose from Kamchak the lizard or humans Dan and Eleena. The first levels of the game vary depending on which character you choose.</p>

<p>SWIV 3D is a 3D remake of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/117573/swiv/">SWIV</a>. It features a voxel-based 3D engine and mission-based play, as well as a myriad of new enemies and completely new style of gameplay.</p>
<p>It plays a lot like a typical 3D shooter: you control a helicopter which you must navigate through landscapes, all the while shooting at buildings, vehicles and other planes or helicopters and fulfilling your mission goals.</p>

<p>TFX (Tactical Fighter eXperiment) is a flight simulation where the player can fly with F-117A, Eurofighter 2000 or F-22 Superstar in various scenarios as a UN fighter pilot. Before the player begins his/her duty, there is a need to complete 10 training missions. Only then will the rest of the possible game modes be available. The game also contains a mission editor where the player can create his/her own missions in any of the chosen scenarios.</p>

<p><em>Jill of the Jungle</em> is the first episode of a shareware series. It is a platform game where the player takes the role of the titular character: an amazon woman who takes the untypical role of monster-slaying, leather-wearing feminist warrior. Jill's most distinguishing ability is morphing into various creatures, such as a bird, a fish, and others, which allow her to explore specific areas. Levels often feature platform structures that must be navigate precisely, as well as keys that must be found in order to advance. There are no boss battles in the game. The game can be saved anywhere.</p>

<p><em>Jill of the Jungle 2</em> is the second in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/774/jill-of-the-jungle/">Jill of the Jungle</a> trilogy. It follows the same concept, but includes new graphics, somewhat improved animation and completely new levels and musical soundtrack.</p>
<p>In this particular game, after having explored the depth of the mysterious jungle, Jill proceeds into Montezuma's castle and indeed goes underground in the attempt to rescue her Prince. Gameplay is side-viewed and platform-style, with hazards to overcome include fire-breathing enemies and spikes. Jill can transform into various creatures to help her escape; when in human form she is limited to her trusty knife.</p>

<p>The final installment in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/774/jill-of-the-jungle/">Jill of the Jungle</a> trilogy features improved animations, new graphics, new music, new levels and a myriad of new enemies. It also features a map-based world which does not exist in the first two games.</p>
<p>The story thus far: after having explored the jungle and defeated the forces of darkness in the first two games, Jill must endure another quest in order to save the jungle from being destroyed: Jill must <em>save the prince</em>, who has been kidnapped by an evil green lizardman who wishes to destroy the jungle and build condos instead. Unless Jill saves the prince, he will succeed in his evil cause.</p>

<p>Morkin 2 is a not-too-serious freeware role-playing game, written by two brothers. The game is a simple strategy-RPG mix in which you take the role of one or more wizards, pitted against one or more human/computer enemy wizards. These wizards can cast all sorts of spells (attack, summon etc.), move around the board and all the usual stuff.</p>

<p><em>Daggerfall</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/803/the-elder-scrolls-arena/">The Elder Scrolls: Arena</a>; it is set in the same medieval fantasy world Tamriel - more specifically, in the homeland of the Breton race, known as High Rock, and the province Hammerfell, home of the Redguards. The game's title is derived from the name of High Rock's capital city. </p>
<p>The main protagonist travels to Daggerfall at the request of the emperor Uriel Septim. His mission involves freeing the ghost of the late King Lysandus. Apparently, a letter concerning the king and sent by the emperor to the court in Daggerfall contains information about a dangerous ancient power. It is now up to the hero to retrieve the letter, reveal the dark secret that has been preserved in the king's family, and eventually discover the key to the resurrection of an iron golem who wields immense power. </p>
<p>Like its predecessor, <em>Daggerfall</em> is an open-ended role-playing game, in which the main quest is but a small fraction of the various missions and assignments the player is able to undertake. The game is notable for breaking records concerning the size of its world (though much of it has been generated randomly). Interaction with hundreds of thousands of non-playable characters is possible. The player is free to join one of the many political and social organizations of Tamriel, as well as pursue a personal quest for power. The player is able to buy houses, ships, and horses, as well as become a werewolf, a vampire, or a wereboar.</p>
<p>Combat in <em>Daggerfall</em> is action-based: the player uses the mouse to determine the direction and the power of sword swings and shots from a ranged weapon. Character growth is handled somewhat similarly to that of <a href="/search/?q=Quest+for+Glory"> Quest for Glory</a> games: the more the player performs an action, the better the protagonist becomes at it. For example, swinging the sword will eventually increase the player character's attack power and skill with that weapon, etc. This extends to non-combat activities such as jumping, bartering, speaking foreign languages, etc. Leveling up occurs when several main and secondary skills have been raised sufficiently. During character generation the player is given the option to create and name his or her custom classes by combining attributes and skills.</p>

<p>You have discovered evidence that a rogue group of police officers are involved in a stolen car racket. To stop them profiting from their dubious actions, you must get across America as quickly as possible. This is made a little easier by the fact that your turbocharged Ferrari F40 can go over 185 MPH.</p>
<p>There are many forks in the road, with arrows at the top of the screen indicating which route is quicker. Any high-speed contact causes the car to blow up, but you have an infinite supply of these, and the only real penalty is the lost time. There are lots of road blocks to swerve around. The police are after you - pay attention to the sirens and stay out of their way.</p>

<p>Starting Titus' <a href="/search/?q=Crazy+Cars">racing series</a> of third-person perspective racing games, <em>Crazy Cars</em> encompasses the American Cross Country Prestige Cars Race. This takes place in several parts of the USA, in several powerful cars. Initially you have a Porsche 911 Turbo in your hands, but this can later be upgraded to a Lamborghini and then a Ferrari. There are other cars on the road, which you must avoid contact with. Bumps and divots in the road throws the car off course, as does contact with any of the roadside barriers. Each race must be completed within the time limit.</p>

<p>Race a single computer opponent for first place on a unique racetrack -- 100 feet in the air! You start in the fourth three-man division of a league, all racing each other twice, and must come top to progress. The action is viewed from within the car throughout the 3-lap races, with the distance between you always on screen.</p>
<p>Jump chasms, jumps, and drawbridges; take banks hard or slow; pass your opponent on the track or while catching mass air. Your car has the ability to burn a limited amount of turbo boost fuel as a way to accelerate faster and achieve higher speeds, but don't use it all up at once or you'll fall behind.  Don't damage your engine too much; severe dents will show up during your next race.</p>
<p>Whatever you do, don't fall off the track, as this will cost you time as you are placed back on.</p>

<p>Starting out with just a basic Lamborghini and $6000, your aim is to rise to the top of the 4 divisions of racing through success on 60 race tracks across The United States. In each division there are 20 rival racers, up to 3 of which compete in each race at a time.</p>
<p>The races also feature lots of local drivers (who can take crucial positions away from you and the other championship drivers), Sunday drivers going at normal speed, and police. Before each race you will be told of the quality of the locals and the likelihood of police presence.</p>
<p>When police are in the area, speeding beyond 110 km/h could see you branded as an offender, at which point the police will try to ram you off the road, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9832/chase-hq/">Chase H.Q.</a>-style. You can attempt to reach the end of the race despite this damage (which eventually hampers your speed) or simply pull over and accept a fine and the loss of race points. If the police subsequently stop you, the fine is heavier.</p>
<p>Each race costs money to enter and your earnings can be boosted by betting on the results with the other championship drivers. If one of you wins, each driver gives you either the amount they bet or the amount you bet, whichever is lower. If a local wins you get your stake back.</p>
<p>Lots of power-ups can be bought along the way, including tires, radar jammers, engine improvements and nitro boosts. To move up a division you must take the Divisional Challenge, a one-off trek through a tough section within the time limit. You buy a set of 3 passes for this, each allowing one attempt.</p>

<p>Robert is just an ordinary guy - or so he thought before he received that fateful letter from a relative in England. Arriving at the mysterious Stonehenge, Robert is teleported to Valoria - a magical world populated by legendary monsters and wizards. And that is precisely what Robert has to become (a wizard, not a monster). Can he survive battles against evil creatures in the seven elemental realms of Valoria?</p>
<p><em>Spellcraft: Aspects of Valor</em> is a strategy game based on spell creation and large-scale battles. Creating spells is a complicated process that involves finding components (powders, stones, jewels, etc.), mixing them according to a formula, and saying the magic word. Using a wrong formula will result in the player character's death. Besides the traditional attack and defense spells, the player can also create magic that modifies the terrain, and summon creatures that fight on the protagonist's side.</p>

<p><em>Aliens of Gold</em>, the first game in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/348/blake-stone-series/">Blake Stone</a> series, pits the space-age British secret agent against Dr. Pyrus Goldfire; a madman bent on world domination. Using a mastery of genetic engineering and a tremendous reserve of wealth, Dr. Goldfire intends to unleash a mutant army upon the Earth.</p>
<p>The first chapter begins in Goldfire's <em>S.T.A.R. Institute</em> headquarters building. Each level has Blake fighting through guards to find an elevator keycard for the next level. Dr. Goldfire will personally appear along the way to fire shots at Blake, and his genetic creations also pose a tough challenge. Each chapter lasts 10 levels, and brings Blake closer to reaching Goldfire, only to have the mad doctor escape to a new installation in his network, and the start of a new chapter.</p>
<p><em>Blake Stone</em> uses the <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3-D">Wolfenstein 3-D</a> engine to render its levels. Basic gameplay and enemy AI is similar in most respects. Some of <em>Blake</em>'s innovations include silent weapons that can kill guards without alerting others. Alerts are given to the player through text messages on the HUD. Health can be gained through use of wall-mounted vending machines, operated with tokens picked up off dead guards. An automap and stat-tracking are both available during gameplay. Finally, there are friendly AI characters who offer clues and powerups when you speak to them - provided Blake doesn't accidentally shoot them first!</p>

<p><em>Bubble Bobble</em> is the story of two humans, Bub and Bob who wander into the mysterious cave of monsters and magically turn into dinosaurs. The only way to transform back is to reach the end of the cave...</p>
<p><em>Bubble Bobble</em> is a platform game, with each level being a single screen. The enemies must be cleared from a level to go to the next one. With one player controlling Bub and the other controlling Bob, the player can jump and collect items for points (such as fruit). The real power Bub and Bob have however is the ability to blow bubbles. These bubbles can be as platforms to leap on, or to trap enemies. Enemies trapped in a bubble must be popped by jumping into them, wherein they'll turn to fruit. Additionally, power-ups sometimes float by in bubbles. They include lightning, which flies out horizontally at enemies, and water, which drags the player and enemies straight down flowing over platforms. Taking too long to complete any level will summon Baron Von Blubba, who will float around the screen trying to destroy the player.</p>
<p>The NES version has a few extra stages bringing the total number of stages to 112. The Sharp X68000 version contains a hidden minigame called Sybubblun. It contains a set of 20 original difficult levels with the game being reskinned with a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/74565/syvalion/">Syvalion</a> theme.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/787/bubble-bobble/">Bubble Bobble</a>: One or two players attempt to save their friends in this re-release of the 1987 classic puzzle/action game. Players blow bubbles to trap enemies. When they pop the bubbles, fruit comes out and the players compete for the points. If they don't pop the bubbles in time, the enemies escape and become faster.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7695/rainbow-islands/">Rainbow Islands</a>: One or two players. Rainbow Islands is the sequel to Bubble Bobble. Instead of bubbles, you create rainbows. The highly versatile rainbow can be used as bridges, as platforms, or as a weapon. You can shoot a rainbow at an enemy, you can trap it inside, or you can drop a rainbow on an enemy from above.</p>

<p>The evil demon lord Vissuluth has taken control of the realms of the Netherworld. Once prosperous lands have been infested with monsters and several evil wizards, Vissuluth's side-kicks, are up to no good either. Fortunately the magician Kafkar knows a promising young apprentice who may stand up to Vissuluth. You're that apprentice!  </p>
<p><em>Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds</em> is the sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Magic+Carpet">Magic Carpet</a> and uses a new 3D engine to produce better looking graphics. New spells and monsters are also included. It's an action game with some elements from other genres thrown into the mix. The biggest part of the gameplay is FPS action. You fly around on your magic carpet, clearing levels by killing monsters and battling other wizards. Instead of guns, you use offensive spells like fireball, meteor, lightning, tornado etc.  </p>
<p>Every monster you kill leaves behind a certain amount of mana which you can possess and store in your castle. You need this mana to cast spells and if you store it in your castle other wizards can't steal it (in some levels you need to defend your castle from attacks by monsters and rival wizards). With enough mana you can upgrade your castle which allows you to cast more powerful spells. During the course of the game you'll get all kinds of new spells and improve the ones you already have.  </p>
<p>Like many other games by <a href="/search/?q=Bullfrog">Bullfrog</a> Magic Carpet 2 is also a bit of a god game. Many realms are inhabited by neutral citizens; you can help them by destroying monsters that attack them or destroy their cities yourself. You can also completely transform each game world with spells like volcano, earthquake and gravity well.</p>

<p>In the year 2044 AD, world governments have fallen apart and the Earth is ruled by ruthless corporations doing anything for profit. However, rebels are fighting against corporate control all over the planet. The protagonist of the game saves the life of a stranger, sacrificing his own life in the process. Taking the protagonist to his lab, the stranger performs a secret experiment on him, and is able to bring him back to life. The hero awakens with a strange crystal embedded in his forehead, giving him control over a mysterious power known as the Darklight. The lab is attacked by the forces of NeCrom, who also controls the Darklight. The protagonist must escape from the lab, learn about the Darklight and the aliens bringing it to the planet, and finally confront NeCrom, his evil counterpart.</p>
<p><em>CyberMage</em> is a 3D first-person shooter set in a dark futuristic environment. Controls can be customized to allow mouse- or keyboard-based gameplay. Jumping, looking up and down (keyboard only), and rudimentary interaction with objects (e.g. switches) are available. The hero is able to use various weapons as well as his Darklight powers against many foes. These offensive, ranged powers deplete a special energy called "Mann-Ra", which regenerates itself over time. </p>
<p>The souls of organic enemies are released when they are killed. Approaching these souls before they disappear, the player obtains various power-ups to health and Mann-Ra, which may be temporary (restoring) or permanent (increasing their maximum count). Armor and other items can be found as well. In addition to walking around the cities and war zones, the player can use vehicles like tanks and air cars in some of the levels. Most areas also contain friendly characters who might give the player information. Money can be found scattered throughout the levels, and spent on weapons in the gun shop.</p>

<p>Some time after <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1461/desert-strike-return-to-the-gulf/">Operation Desert Strike</a>, Ibn Kilbaba, son of Kilbaba Sr., threatens to annihilate America. After his father was killed, the people who were under his control sent his son running off, along with his father's money and nuclear weapons program. Kilbaba, more ruthless than his father, longs for revenge for his father's death and decides to shed the blood of those who killed him, the Americans. Already armed, Kilbaba hires Carlos Ortega to help him set up his nuclear weapons program, deep in South America. Carlos Ortega, the world's most notorious drug lord, also yearns to seek revenge. With his own private army, armed with the most hi-tech weapons, he's ready to fight America at all costs. </p>
<p>Because of this threat, the player is hired again to battle these two characters, following their trail in the jungles of South America. Armed with the Comanche, numerous other vehicles, and destructive weapons, they will have to take out their private army, blowing up the enemy with Hellfire missiles, Hydra rockets, or chain guns, using watercraft to launch mines at enemy ships, or pulling off a drive-by on the enemy with guns on the side.</p>

<p>Superbike Challenge brings 1000cc motorbikes to life for a one or two player race. Unusually, the screen is split horizontally, with your action only ever using half of the screen. You can play a full season of races, or run at one of the 12 tracks as a stand-alone race (including Assen, Mugello, the old Hockenheim and Spa). A manual gearbox option and 3 skill levels ensure that you can't master the game immediately. Full information on your speed and revs, the race order and course layout are on screen at all times.</p>
<p>Superbike Challenge is an updated version of <a href="/search/?q=grand-prix-500-cc">Grand Prix 500 cc</a>, with a better menu and title screen and some different in-game graphics.</p>

<p>The sequel to OutRun features similar basic gameplay to the original, with the action viewed from behind the car, and the challenge being to complete each stage within the time limit. Contact can cause the car to spin, slow down or even flip; in each case you will lose time. There are branching routes and a raft of new features: changed weather conditions, night racing, obstacles on the tracks, optional automatic gears, annoying police cars.</p>
<p>There are 16 stages set across the US, gradually moving from east to west, all depicted differently visually. After every 4 levels, you go into a shop screen, with a choice of upgrades. As the title implies, you now have a turbo booster installed, which speeds up the car, although over-use can cause the engine to overheat, and it is not recharged until each shop section. You have 5 continues, and failure to complete the course within the time limit costs you one.</p>

<p>As a pilot of an Apache Helicopter you have to fly through enemy terrain and save captured F-14 pilots. A wide range of enemies like tanks, soldiers, and air units such as airfighters and heavy-armed choppers will try to stop you.</p>
<p>Armed with chainguns and missiles, destroy enemy strongholds to rescue your comrades.  Extra weapons can be picked up by landing close to objects.</p>

<p>Your name is Dave, and these are your first holidays you're spending alone, without your parents. You're resting in a hotel near a mysterious loch in scottland. You go swimming in the lake and dive through a waterfall - on the other side of it, you're finding yourself in a strange fantasy-like world.</p>
<p>The game is a mixture of a graphical- and textadventure. All actions can be performed by typing or by clicking on the icons.</p>

<p>Race your corvette against another human or computer player through an accurate reproduction of San Francisco.  Choose between store models (stock or ZR1) or a tricked-up 'vette (twin turbo or "sledgehammer").</p>
<p>Use your on-screen map display to choose the best route -- there are multiple ways to reach the finish line careening through the streets of San Francisco.  You can also switch between views, including left, right, rearview mirror, with or without dash, helicopter chase cam, or a combination of views.</p>

<p><em>The Summoning</em> is a single-character fantasy role-playing adventure, set inside a huge labyrinth with 40 different levels and hordes of mean monsters. Use steel, magic and wit to fight, cast and puzzle your way through the evil that lies within.</p>
<p>Struggle to survive and grow strong enough to fight and defeat Shadow Weaver, the villain responsible for the evil spreading across the land.</p>

<p><em>Frontier: Elite II</em> is the sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Elite">Elite</a> and it continues in much the same way. You have a ship and limited funds, and nowhere to go but out into space. Trade, fight, hunt criminals, work for the various governments, anything goes in <em>Frontier</em>. There are few, if any, limits on what you can do or where you can go. And <em>Frontier</em>'s universe (with approx. 100,000,000,000 planets and moons) is so big you'll never see the end of it.</p>

<p><em>The Elder Scrolls: Arena</em> is a first-person action role-playing game in which the protagonist must rescue the Emperor Uriel Septim VII from his dimensional prison by recovering the eight pieces of the Staff of Chaos. The emperor's position has been usurped by impersonator Jagar Tharn, whose slain apprentice rallies the protagonist in his dreams to find the eight pieces of the staff and return the status quo.</p>
<p>It is the first chapter in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/125/elder-scrolls-series/">Elder Scrolls series</a> and the first game that is set in the fictional world of Tamriel. The game features 3D environments, with sprites representing non-playable characters and enemies. In the beginning of the game the player chooses the race for the protagonist, based on his or her home province. Each race has its benefits: for example, Redguards from the province Hammerfell have physical attack bonuses. There is no skill system; leveling up occurs after a sufficient amount of experience points has been accumulated. The player is free to raise any of the protagonist's main attributes by allocating the points gained with the level.</p>
<p>Unlike later games in the series the player can travel through almost all of Tamriel, instead of being restricted to certain provinces. There are over 400 cities, towns and villages to explore, as well as many magical items and spells to create. The player can walk endlessly in any direction as more and more land will be procedurally generated. Walking manually however never allows the player to reach other cities; the fast travel feature must be used for this. The player is free to go where he or she wants. The story itself is resolved in a linear fashion, although the locations of items is randomly determined at the start of the game.</p>
<p>Melee combat is performed through mouse gestures and spells are cast using a menu interface. The player controls only a single character, which happens in real-time. In the wild and in dungeons the player can expect opposition from enemies which need to be defeated and who drop loot. In the cities NPCs can be found, some will barter or provide other services to the player.</p>
<p>The CD-ROM release features speech in cutscenes and additional rendered sequences that the floppy version does not include.</p>

<p>Flight Unlimited is a civilian flight simulator. You can choose between an Extra 300s, a Bellanca Decathlon, a Sukhoi SU-31, a Pitts S-2B and a Grob S-103. Take part in aerobatic competitions or, if you're a beginner, learn how to fly in 34 lessons.  </p>
<p>Flight Unlimited stresses reality:  All ground textures and elevations are based on real satellite photodata, and the flight model has a heavy basis in real world physics.  The manual is quite detailed, and combined with the in-flight tutorials, the user is provided with a very gradual introduction to flying.</p>
<p>A very comprehensive piece of work, and a defining title for Looking Glass, whose only competition at the time was Microsoft Flight Simulator (which look immediately dated compared side by side to Flight Unlimited).</p>

<p><em>Ignition</em> is an action packed racing game viewed from above and slightly behind the player. The cars on offer range from police car and VW Beetle to school bus and truck, each of which has its own strengths and weaknesses - trying to win with the bus, which involves blocking everyone behind the hideously slow vehicle for 3 laps, is perhaps the ultimate challenge.</p>
<p>Initially there are 5 tracks available, with practice and single race modes as well as full championship at 3 levels - winning each of the first 2 levels unlocks an extra track. They all have hazards running through them, and sections where you must make a split-second choice between the safer route and the risky but potentially rewarding one. Multiplayer can be done via network or by split-screen - in a break with convention the screen is split vertically rather than horizontally.</p>

<p>The Avatar, the embodiment of the Eight Virtues and the hero of Britannia, is called back to deal with a grave threat. Lord British, the country's benevolent monarch, has disappeared, and a man named Blackthorn has usurped his throne. The tyrant rules the land by enforcing the virtues upon the will of the people, corrupting their meaning in the process. His fundamentalist visions led him to create a police state, where failure to adhere to the virtues is punishable by death. Behind Blackthorn are the three Shadowlords, anti-thesis to the three principles of Truth, Love, and Courage. The Avatar must understand their meaning and origins, find a way to defeat them, rescue Lord British, and restore the former ethical principles of Britannia.</p>
<p><em>Ultima V</em> uses the basics of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/884/ultima-iv-quest-of-the-avatar/">Ultima IV</a> engine, an overhead perspective for the map of Britannia and its towns, and a rosette-compass 3D view for the dungeons. The battle system also resembles that of the previous game, with separate battle screens and navigation of character icons in turn-based style. Many of the gameplay elements of the predecessor return, including the complex spell system (reagents must be bought in order to cast spells), recruitable party members, moongates that teleport the party between locations, various means of transportation (horses, ships, etc., with the notable addition of a magic carpet), and so on. Character creation based on morally ambiguous questions and basic leveling up system have been preserved as well. In comparison to the predecessor, the classes have been reduced to four.</p>
<p>Additional challenges include navigating characters through the Underworld, a vast underground area containing many hazards; random presence of Shadowlords in the cities, which influences the behavior of their inhabitants, making them run away, steal from, or attack the Avatar; inscriptions in a runic alphabet that must be deciphered by the player, and others.</p>
<p>The game has a noticeably more detailed world than any of its predecessors; the towns are much larger, with many unique buildings and objects represented graphically. <em>Ultima V</em> introduces physical interaction with the game world: many objects can be pushed or pulled, the main character can sit down on a chair (which is graphically shown), etc. It also incorporates a day/night cycle and schedules for non-playable characters: for example, it is impossible to shop at night because the shopkeepers are sleeping. Dialogues with NPCs have been enhanced, featuring more unique and detailed conversation topics.</p>

<p>The original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/810/cyberia/">Cyberia</a> was a rail shooter that combined puzzle-solving with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/272/star-wars-rebel-assault/">Star Wars: Rebel Assault</a>-style action sequences. The sequel is essentially the same, except the 3D rendered graphics have been improved, and the quantity of in-game movies has been increased. </p>
<p><em>Cyberia 2</em> takes off where the original ends. After destroying FWA leader Devlin and his orbital headquarters, Zak and the Cyberia weapon crash land back to Earth, where they are picked up by an FWA team led by the maniacal Dr. Corbin. Corbin sticks Zak in cryo-storage and uses the remains of the Cyberia weapon to create a doomsday virus known as nano-toxin. His FWA employers want the nano-toxin to put down a growing rebel movement, but Corbin (who's got something of a messiah-complex) intends to use it to kill millions and "reshape the world as we know it". Three years later Zak is thawed out by a renegade FWA Major, and together the two of them have to find Corbin and stop his sinister plan.</p>

<p>In the year 2027, the world is controlled by two rival superpowers, the western-bloc Free World Alliance and the east-bloc Cartel. Transmissions from an FWA spy reveal the location of a secret multi-national laboratory deep within Siberia, the Cyberia Complex, where a mysterious weapon is being developed. FWA leader Devlin frees a cyber-hacker named Zak from prison and sends him to infiltrate the complex and discover the true nature of the Cyberia weapon.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the Cartel is also interested in the weapon and will stop at nothing to get it. Not only must Zak make his way past the Cartel forces sent to stop him, but he must also overcome the Cartel agents which have already seized control of the complex. To make matters worse the Cyberian scientist's genetically engineered creations are running rampant in the same area as the weapon and Devlin also appears to have something up his sleeve.</p>
<p><em>Cyberia</em> is an action game with puzzle sequences and a heavy reliance on scripted events and cutscenes. The game allows limited navigation between locations, which usually lead to a puzzle or (more often) action scenes that involve either shooting down planes with a gun turret or navigating various flying vehicles, destroying enemies in a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/272/star-wars-rebel-assault/">Star Wars: Rebel Assault</a>-style confrontations.</p>

<p>In the original <a href="/search/?q=Ecstatica">Ecstatica</a>, the hero managed to defeat the recently unleashed Devil and his creatures in the small village of Tirich and rescue Ecstatica, the witch-in-training responsible for the whole mess. The two of them journey back to the hero's land only to find that the forces of darkness have brought the fight home. In his mad quest for power, the evil Archmage has shattered the Elder Sign which governs reality. This has allowed the demons to pass through into this world, slaughtering the people of the surrounding lands or transforming them into brutal killing machines.</p>
<p>Upon discovering this news the hero and Ecstatica promptly find themselves kidnapped by the demons. A mysterious high priestess helps the hero escape and compels him to journey through the demon-infested land to find and re-unite the scattered pieces of the Elder Sign to drive the demons back to their world. However the Elder Sign pieces are guarded by the Archmage's dark sorcerers and their followers, and the Archmage himself holds the last piece as well as Ecstatica captive.</p>
<p>The gameplay is similar to that of the previous game, focusing on action combat with light adventure and survival horror touches. The game's world is larger than that of the predecessor and includes free-roaming elements. The protagonist can equip and use various swords in combat. Spells are learned when equipping a magic staff or from magic scrolls found in the game world.</p>

<p>A chess game with cyber-/Tron-like theme.  The layout of the board has been modified to have pieces rest on intersections instead of squares, but the gameplay is identical to chess.</p>

<p>The Celts have been defeated and you've built a succession of castles across the wilds of Albion. But still there is no peace. The Picts are rebelling against you in the north and now you must build more castles to defend Albion from these wild savages.</p>
<p>The Northern Campaign is the first campaign disk for Castles, and it includes many new features, such as new graphics, economics, new combat features (vikings, archers etc). and troop training. The Northern Campaign needs the original Castles, it can not be played by itself.</p>

<p>Long ago, the old gods created the world of Tessera, a vast a geologically diverse land shaped like a tesseract, which would become home to 8 kingdoms. Empires have risen and fallen since then, and in present times the emperor has fallen under the influence of the evil Archmage. Thanks to his influence, the kingdoms have become destitute, a plague has swept the land, and the people have become oppressed. The hero of this story lives in the town of Thurin, in the kingdom of Calia, which is somewhat out of the Archmage's range of influence. However, when a gravely wounded kobbold delivers a message to him and dies on the threshold of his house, to find the artifact to wake up the mysterious god N'Gnir, and so the game begins.</p>
<p><em>Sleeping Gods Lie</em> combines elements of action and RPG-style gameplay. The entire game world is viewed from first person perspective, rendered in "fake" 3D. The player explores this world, finding items, solving occasional puzzles, and getting closer to the goal. Enemies will often attack the hero; the key to victory is usually the power of the weapon the hero wields. These are a variety of ranged weapons, from slings and bows to magic staffs. Combat is entirely action-oriented. Experience points are granted upon victory, and increase the player's health and magic power.</p>
<p>The game has its own clock and calendar, consisting of 17 months named after the game's gods, each consisting of 17 days of 12 hours. In the Amiga and ST versions, during the 3 night hours, the screen turns dark, but the DOS version remains consistently daylight.</p>

<p>The small country town Skara Brae was enjoying a peaceful life, until an evil wizard known as Mangar the Dark appeared. Monsters have invaded the town, terrorizing its inhabitants. Mangar cast the spell of Eternal Winter on the surroundings, isolating Skara Brae from any possible help. Guards that were entrusted with the task of protecting the town have disappeared within one night. Only a party of brave adventurers can save Skara Brae and defeat Mangar. </p>
<p><em>The Bard's Tale</em> is a fantasy role-playing game similar to <a href="/search/?q=Wizardry">Wizardry</a> games, with first-person exploration of pseudo-3D maze-like environments, and turn-based combat against randomly appearing enemies. Unlike early Wizardry installments, the town can be explored physically, and parts of the overworld are accessible as well. Several dungeons must be explored before the player can tackle the final quest.</p>
<p>Six character classes are available when the player is prompted to create a party of six adventurers in the beginning of the game: Bard, Hunter, Monk, Paladin, Rogue, Warrior, Magician, and Conjurer. The last two can be promoted when specific conditions are met during gameplay. The bard class plays a special role, possessing magical songs that improves the party's performance in combat and are required to solve some of the game's puzzles.</p>

<p><em>NetHack</em> is a roguelike role-playing game with both traditional ASCII graphics and a graphical tileset. The objective is to find the Amulet of Yendor and sacrifice it to your deity. </p>
<p>In the beginning, you choose one of the classes - there are some traditional ones, like Priest or Knight, but also unusual ones like Tourist or Caveman. Then, you find yourself on the 1st level of the dungeon, along with your pet that will accompany you and help you in combat. On each level, you have to find an exit to the lower level; on the way, you'll find countless monsters to fight, as well as items to collect. Sometimes, you come upon a shop, where you can buy or sell items. </p>
<p>Items you find can be blessed (more effective than normal), but sometimes are cursed (less effective, or outright harmful). Eating the corpses of fallen enemies is an important part of the game since many creatures give you special abilities or immunities when eaten. </p>
<p>While the above description might seem brief, <em>NetHack</em> is, in fact, a very complex and merciless game - there are lots of ways to die. </p>
<p>Since <em>NetHack</em> is a roguelike, everything is represented as a top-down view of the current dungeon level, where the walls, the floor, and all items, characters, and monsters are ASCII characters. More recent versions of the game also include an official set of graphical tiles which can be turned on at the player's option.</p>

<p><em>Novalight Tetris</em> is a shareware &gt;<em>Tetris</em> clone. It features reflections at the bottom of the rectangular playground for every falling block.</p>

<p>Play the part of the head of a railroad company, with the aim of creating a railroad empire, providing a successful mass transit system that will be an inspiration to the rest of the world. Another goal is to provide the impetus for a chosen city to develop. There are a number of different places to set up business each with different layouts and existing houses and businesses.</p>
<p>The main money earners are passenger trains, that can be scheduled to pick up passengers at the times of day when the demand is high. However, in the long term you need the city to develop. This requires setting up trains that transport resources to where they are needed. These resources are used to build houses, and other buildings, increasing the number of passengers for commuter trains.</p>
<p>As the city develops, new businesses will spring up, such as stadiums, high rise office blocks, and ski resorts. The player may also build own businesses, the success of which will depend on the local population, the presence of competing businesses, and even the changes of the seasons, among other factors.  </p>
<p>The stock market is also another way of making money. The player may also watch the seasons come and go, with snow visible in winter, and fireworks displays celebrating the New Year.</p>

<p>Your carrier, the Tiger's Claw, is destroyed by Kilrathi stealth fighters. You are blamed for the loss of the ship. After being demoted you are transferred to a space station far off the front lines where you are supposed to spend the rest of your career.</p>
<p>However, ten years later, you are able to save the Confederation flagship, the Concordia, from a Kilrathi attack. On the ship, you meet many old friends. Back in the cockpit, it's up to you to stop the Kilrathi and prove your innocence in the destruction of the Tiger's Claw.</p>
<p>The basic gameplay of <em>Wing Commander II</em> is very similar to that of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3/wing-commander/">its predecessor</a>. There are all-new ships for both the Kilrathi and the Confederation, however - only the Rapier returns from the previous game, in an upgraded version. </p>
<p>While many of the weapons (including both missiles and energy guns) are also reused, new technology (used by both sides) requires new tactics: Since capital ships now employ "phase shielding", making them immune to normal weapons fire, only special torpedoes can damage them. Only heavy fighters and bombers are able to make torpedo runs. Before a torpedo can be fired, the shields of the target must be analyzed to find a way to get through, which results in a long locking phase during which the bomber must not move. The bombers are equipped with one or more gun turrets to protect them from enemy fighters during the lock-on. Another new technology are chaff pods, which can be deployed to lure enemy missiles off the target.</p>
<p>The Wing Commander series' trademark cinematic storytelling is greatly expanded in <em>Wing Commander II</em>, with many animated cutscenes continuing the story between missions.</p>

<p>Piranha is your run-of-the-mill <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a> clone, but features a vast range of weapons and enemies across 100 levels of gameplay.
With improved graphics and (well, some of it) music by Eric Streidell (Zodiak / Cascada) and Prism / EMF, this is one of the more recent additions to the huge list of Asteroids clone.</p>

<p>The war against the Kilrathi is going badly for the Confederation. Its flagship, the Concordia, has been destroyed, battles are lost on all fronts. War hero Colonel Christopher Blair is transferred to the old carrier Victory. Take the role of Blair and ensure the success of the Confederation's last-ditch attempt for victory: the destruction of the Kilrathi homeworld.</p>
<p><em>Wing Commander III</em> has the usual mix of space battles and cinematic storytelling. Changes from the first two games include SVGA graphics, the use of texture-mapped polygons instead of bitmaps for spaceflight sequences, and real Hollywood actors appearing in the cinematic scenes.</p>

<p><em>3-Demon</em>, commonly regarded as the very first progenitor of the 90s first-person shooters, is a surreal, wireframe-3D <a href="/search/?q=Pac-man">Pac-Man</a> clone in which you have to move through a maze, collect points and occasionally take items which will allow you to kill enemy monsters (ghosts) instead of them killing you.</p>
<p>After having cleaned the level of a certain percentage of points, you have the option to move to another level immediately by pressing the down key, where the monsters are smarter and move faster.</p>

<p>The War of the Lance is over, the dragonarmies have been defeated. But evil has not left Krynn. In northeastern Ansalon, outposts of the Knights of Solamnia remain to guard the fragile peace. Your party of adventurers is hired to carry out missions for the Knights. On your first mission, you stumble upon Draconians, long believed to have left the area. What are their plans? On your travels you have to face dangers in many dungeons and towns and might even meet some of the legendary Heroes of the Lance.</p>
<p><em>Champions of Krynn</em> is the first of SSI's "gold box" games set in the AD&amp;D world of Dragonlance, with all the usual features: first-person view and movement in dungeons, towns and outposts, overland travel on a map of the area and tactical turn-based combat from a top-down perspective.</p>
<p>As the first game set in Krynn, it has several features unique to that setting: In character races, one can choose from Kender, Silvanesti or Qualinesti Elves and Mountain or Hill Dwarves in addition to humans and half-elves. Special character classes include Solamnic Knights, clerics of the major deities of Krynn and mages of either the Red or the White Robe. The deities grant special spells and powers to their respective clerics. Red and White mages have access to different spells and the phases of the moons of Krynn affect their spellcasting abilities.</p>

<p><em>Dungeon Master</em> is a role-playing game where the player selects four adventurers and descend into the depths of the dungeon. The gameplay is reminiscent of the 3D dungeon crawl type of role-playing games popularized by <a href="/search/?q=Wizardry">Wizardry</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/819/tales-of-the-unknown-volume-i-the-bards-tale/">The Bard's Tale</a>. However, unlike these games, <em>Dungeon Master</em> features real-time combat, which requires the player to click on the opponent in order to execute an attack. Another notable aspect of the game is its growth system: instead of gathering experience points and leveling up, characters improve by repeatedly using the same action. Spellcasting involves selecting and combining symbols, which can be arranged as rune sequences. The game also allows the player to directly interact with objects in the game world through a point-and-click interface.</p>

<p>Something evil is lurking below the city of Waterdeep. The Lords of Waterdeep summon a group of heroes to investigate, but someone or something has been watching the proceedings. After the heroes enter the sewers, the ceiling collapses behind them. The only way out is the way down, into a dungeon filled with monsters, traps and puzzles.</p>
<p><em>Eye of the Beholder</em> is a dungeon crawler RPG with a first-person perspective based on the 2nd Edition AD&amp;D rules. The starting party consists of four characters and up to two NPCs can join later. Combat and magic happen in real time, similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/834/dungeon-master/">Dungeon Master</a>. There is a variety of monsters to fight and spells to cast. The game features a point-and-click interface for fighting, spellcasting and handling objects.</p>

<p>Star Goose a top-down space shooter in which you move through a semi-3D environment shooting rounds and missiles at your enemies.  Occasionally, the player can enter a tunnel and collect upgrades (ammo, shield or fuel) by climbing the walls of the tunnel to run into powerups.</p>

<p><em>Conflict</em> is a political/strategy simulator, inspired by a prediction of how events in the Middle East could unfold in the 1990s. In this 1997, the Israeli prime minister dies (either by assassination or by bomb blast), and you're appointed as the new prime minister.</p>
<p>In the game you have to make and follow political policies regarding other countries in the Middle East, control intelligence and purchase arms, try to beat the other countries in the nuclear race and keep peace with the Palestinians and, of course, conduct battles with other countries.</p>

<p>BAT 'n BALL is a game that tests your reflexes as you attempt to guard a castle of sorts from a drug-crazed bouncing ball. You have at your disposal a crude but effective bat and (hopefully) nerves of steel. Your castle is surrounded by a brick wall which quickly crumbles when hit by the malevolent ball.
Defend it valiantly, for a hit to the pretty blocks at its core will lose you a life.</p>
<p>Stick around until your opponents lose their castles and you will progress to a new screen - lose all three lives and you've blown your chances.</p>

<p><em>Nephi's Quest</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/122/kings-quest/">King's Quest</a>-style adventure game taking place in Jerusalem in 600 B.C. The player follows the adventures of Nephi as they occurred in the Book of Mormon (LDS Church). According to their teachings, Nephi was a prophet who predicted the capture of Jerusalem by the Babylonians, and subsequently traveled to America on a boat, where he became the progenitor of the Nephite people.</p>

<p>The Dark Army is on the move again, led by the evil sorceress Scotia. Her goal is obvious: to destroy Gladstone Keep and its ruler King Richard. Scotia herself has recently become more powerful after acquiring "the Mask" from the Urban Mines, gaining the ability to shape-shift. She is virtually unstoppable and able to infiltrate Gladstone Keep, poisoning King Richard. If it were not for the intervention of Sorceress Dawn, the monarch would surely be dead. In order to find a cure for the King's illness, a band of heroes must set out on an adventure, and keep themselves alive from the Dark Army forces.</p>
<p><em>Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos</em> is a real-time dungeon-crawling role-playing game viewed from a first-person perspective. Players begin by choosing one of the four available protagonists: the Dracoid Ak'shel (high magic power), the Huline Kieran (high speed), and two humans: Michael (high strength) and Conrad (balanced character). Each has his weaknesses and strengths, but all abilities in the game can be eventually upgraded.</p>
<p>Much of the game consists of exploring pseudo-3D maze-like dungeons. Most of them contain secret areas and it is sometimes necessary to solve puzzles to advance. Real-time combat involves clicking on either the attack or magic icon for each character. Depending on their speed attribute they will need a certain amount of cooldown time before the player can activate them again. The point-and-click interface allows interaction with some background objects, sometimes eliciting comments from the protagonist or his companions.</p>
<p>The game does not feature manual character development, introducing instead a semi-automatic form of leveling up, where skills of the hero and the companions are divided into Fighting, Magic and Rogue skills. Each skill level will increase when killing enemies using a particular type of attack: melee weapons increase the Fighting skills, magic increases the Magic skill, and ranged weapons increase the Rogue skills. In the course of the game players will form a party of up to three heroes in the quest for the cure. The player is able to equip these characters with new weapons and armor in a "paper doll" styled interface. The CD version includes full speech.</p>

<p><em>SimCity</em> sets you as the mayor of a new municipality, with the responsibility of building and maintaining a place where citizens can move to and work and be happy. The first task is to place essentials such as housing, transport links, schools, factories, and shops. There are 50 types of these, allowing for homes of all standards and different types of businesses. Make sure to consider which sites are effective for which tasks. Some power sources pollute, others don't but are more expensive. Taxes must be raised to ensure an income, and then portions allocated to public services such as policing and roads. Earthquakes, floods, and fires are all emergency situations that must be dealt with to contain any damage.</p>
<p>Successful mayoring will cause the small village to grow into a town, then a city, and finally a metropolis. As the city's size grows so do its needs. Commercial buildings may suddenly find that they need an airport to expand trade, or housing may find itself changing rapidly as vast amounts of people come and leave.</p>
<p>The game also includes 8 pre-defined time-limited scenarios, with specific challenges and targets. The environment varies in each game (especially if you have the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14236/sim-city-terrain-editor/">Terrain Editor</a> add-on), and this should affect your choices.</p>

<p>It is December of the year 2042. The world is still recovering from the disastrous consequences of the World War III. Radioactivity has turned many humans into mutants, and the gap between those and the "norms" (non-affected humans) is growing wider. Certain places in the world have retained the feel and the charm of the old times - among those is the Old San Francisco. There, the private investigator Tex Murphy is trying to deal with unemployment, upcoming poverty, and his melancholic mood following his divorce. After solving a simple robbery case, Tex attracts the attention of a mysterious woman who calls herself Countess Renier, and is hired by her to find a missing statuette. Things gradually begin to go wrong in this investigation, and Tex finds himself involved in a confrontation with a powerful and dangerous secret cult.</p>
<p><em>Under A Killing Moon</em> is the third game in the <em>Tex Murphy</em> series of adventures, and a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/222/martian-memorandum/">Martian Memorandum</a>. The game is notable for its use of detailed, texture-mapped 3D graphics during a time when pre-rendered visuals were still the standard in the genre. Uncommonly for adventure games, <em>Under A Killing Moon</em> allows full maneuverability. The player can rotate the camera, change the viewing angle, zoom in and out, etc.; it is even possible to look for clues underneath desks, chairs, etc. </p>
<p>Inventory-based puzzles are relatively rare in the game, and the emphasis of the gameplay is placed primarily on exploration, conversations featuring extended topics and choices, and self-contained logical puzzles. Other features include an online hint system (that decreases the player's score with each use), extensive support for additional sound and music devices, and full-motion video technology: cutscenes and much of the dialogue are presented as movies with real actors.</p>

<p>You are a silencer, the elite of the elite soldiers of World Economic Consortium. You are used to orders of hunting down the Resistance, a ragtag band of rebels committing sabotage and other acts of terrorism against the WEC, but slowly, you realized the WEC is not quite what it appears to be... then one day you and two other Silencers, your best buddies, were ambushed by a WEC mech patrol when it was supposed to be a routine mission. You alone survived. It is clear that the Silencer is being silenced... and the only place to turn is the Resistance... </p>
<p><em>Crusader: No Remorse</em> is the first in the series, which is best described as a 2D isometric shooter. Your silencer can roll left, roll right, kneel, jump, run, and perform other acrobatic moves. You get plenty of different weapons, from assault rifles and shotguns to grenade launchers and lasers, to really exotic weapons like microwave cannon, EMP discharger, and even plasma cannons. You're up against the full military might of the WEC, from simple guards to full-fledged Guardmechs and elite forces (though none are quite as good as you). You can find supplies and money off of killed enemies (if you left a body, that is, and some of the extreme weapons don't). You'll often need to bypass traps, open doors, disable alarms, take out security cameras, and more. The action is intense, and there's usually a bit of puzzle involved. It's often a matter of exploring the map to find a switch or a terminal with the code that'll let you access another part or another level of the map. </p>
<p>Between missions you can chat in the Resistance base and/or buy/sell weapons. You can also find recharge stations to replenish your energy and health (you can also find batteries and first aid kits too). The missions range from simple sabotage to rescue.</p>

<p><em>Crusader: No Regret</em> is a direct sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/851/crusader-no-remorse/">Crusader: No Remorse</a>, its events starting 46 hours after those depicted in the previous game. The protagonist of the game, a silencer known as the Captain, manipulates his escape pod into a WEC freighter heading towards the moon. There, WEC has established itself as the sole power, overseeing mining procedures and using the moon as prison for dissidents. The Resistance members are forced to work for WEC, extracting a precious radioactive component, Di-Corellium. The powerful corporation is not happy to see the Captain on the moon, and he has to use all his wits and skills to survive as WEC, led by Chairman Draygan, is trying to hunt him down.</p>
<p>The game looks and plays very similarly to its predecessor, being an isometric shooter in which the Captain can also jump, run, roll, and kneel to avoid enemy attacks. A few new weapons and death animations have been added. The game's structure is somewhat more straightforward compared to the previous installment. In <em>No Remorse</em>, the Captain was limited to carry five weapons; in <em>No Regret</em>, this limitation has been removed.</p>

<p>Slicks 'n' Slide is an overhead racing game where you try to drive your vehicle
as fast as possible in available tracks. You can also use weapons to slow down your
opponents. The idea of the game can look simple but Slicks 'n' Slide has very
detailed options giving you the opportunity to change it in your own style.</p>

<p>The sequel to American Laser Game's original Mad Dog McCree, with pretty much the same gameplay and motion capture graphics. This PC conversion seems to have been tweaked a bit to be more stable than the original Mad Dog. There's also somewhat limited replay value as you can choose from 3 different guides for 3 different routes through the game.</p>

<p>This is the third and the final part of <em>Eye of the Beholder</em> trilogy. While boasting of their exploits in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/307/eye-of-the-beholder-ii-the-legend-of-darkmoon/">the previous game</a>, the party is approached by a man with a tale of a dangerous lich who threatens the surrounding area. Without hesitation the party agrees to deal with the lich, and the mysterious man teleports them into yet another adventure.</p>
<p>The game is more or less the same as the predecessors, the battles play out in the same way as in previous entries. Characters can fight mano-a-mano, or they can throw things, weapons, arrows, etc. Open spaces have been added to the game as well as the ability for the entire party to attack at once. New high level monsters, spells, and equipment can be found as well.</p>

<p>In the tradition of the game <a href="/search/?q=Beetlejuice+in:+Skeletons+in+the+Closet">Beetlejuice</a>, <em>Gremlins 2</em> is an arcade game in which you have to go around a building shooting gremlins and collecting all sorts of items. The game's features include an alarm system, two types of weapons and various kinds of scenery.</p>

<p>This game is very like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/810/cyberia/">Cyberia</a>; the moving path is predictable, and all you have to do is shoot at anything that moves, and enjoy the animated sequences in between every mission. The time is set somewhere in the near future, and there is a major war active on your planet. By the time war is battling, the infamous and most dangerous international prisoner was rescued, and the prison guards were killed. As much as you don't want to participate in that action (since you're more interested in winning the war), you, as a great undercover agent are sent to bring the prisoner back. No matter the cost. As you can guess by the title, most action is taken under the water, and a few rare are battled in the space above. Bring him back commander!</p>

<p><em>Counterstrike</em> is the first add-on for <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer%3A+Red+Alert">Command &amp; Conquer: Red Alert</a>.</p>
<p>This add-on adds 16 new single-player missions, 8 for each side. Unlike the main game, there is no storyline to connect the missions, so they can be played in any order. Several new campaign-only units are available, including the Soviet Tesla Tank prototype (featuring a mounted Tesla coil as its weapon), cybernetic super soldier Volkov and his dog Chitzkoi, as well as some older units upgraded with nuclear weapons.</p>
<p><em>Counterstrike</em> also includes more than a 100 new multiplayer maps and new music tracks composed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/1950/frank-klepacki/">Frank Klepacki</a>.</p>
<p>As a hidden bonus, a small "Giant Ant" campaign is included, featuring combat against gigantic mutated insects in true 50s B-movie style.</p>

<p><em>The Aftermath</em> is the second add-on to <a href="/search/?q=Command">Command and Conquer: Red Alert</a>. </p>
<p>This add-on introduces new fully playable units - Chrono Tank, Demolition Truck, Field Mechanic, Tesla Tank, Shock Trooper, M.A.D. Tank, Phase Transport and Missile Sub. There are 18 new campaign missions, 9 for each side. They are not connected with any storyline whatsoever, much like in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/863/command-conquer-red-alert-counterstrike/">Red Alert: Counterstrike</a>, so they can be played in any order.</p>
<p><em>The Aftermath</em> also adds yet another 100 multiplayer maps and 8 all-new battle songs, expanding the soundtrack to 35 tracks.</p>

<p>An updated version of White Wolf's earlier <a href="/search/?q=Empire">Empire</a> game, which was based on a wargame dating back to early mainframe days. One to six players (human or computer with three levels of intelligence) compete to conquer the world using their ground, air, and sea units.</p>
<p>There are three versions of the game available: basic, standard, and advanced. The basic game provides the minimal types of units, a completely viewable map, and basic production rules. The standard game adds some new units, forces you to explore the map to view it, and slightly modifies the production rules. Finally, the advanced game (for the true wargamer) adds even more types of units, terrain effects on movement and sighting, and slightly more complicated production rules.</p>
<p>In addition to playing one or more people around the same computer, you could play via mail (by posting disks back and forth), e-mail, modem, network, or direct serial link.</p>
<p>The game also came with some preset scenarios and maps for players to use. Additionally, there was an editor that let players create their own maps and scenarios.</p>
<p>Copy protection was a compromise between security and player convenience. Rather than looking up a word in the manual every time the game was run, this was only required when running the separate executable that set game options. (Screen resolution, sound options, etc.) Naturally, you always had to run it before playing the first time.</p>
<p>White Wolf and New World Computing also released a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/870/empire-deluxe-scenarios/">scenario disk</a> for the game and later released the Windows version with the extra scenarios <a href="/search/?q=Empire+Deluxe+Masters+Edition">on CD-ROM</a>.</p>

<p>This is simply a disk containing dozens of scenarios and maps for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/869/empire-deluxe/">Empire Deluxe</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Empire+Deluxe+for+Windows">Empire Deluxe for Windows</a>. It also contains some DOS and Windows 3.x utilities to get statistics on map files and select a random map from the ones you have installed. There's also an upgrade patch for the original version of Empire Deluxe.</p>

<p>In the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=the+legend+of+kyrandia">first part of this trilogy</a>, Brandon, soon to be a king and only heir to the throne, determined to stop the evil jester Malcolm. Now, Kyrandia is disappearing. The high council found the cure for that - the anchor from the center of the world. When the young sorceress Zanthia comes to that anchor, she realizes it is not the answer. Her friend Marco is in possession of a giant hand, and it looks like that hand is responsible for the sabotage. Now, Zanthia must save Kyrandia before everything else vanishes without a trace.</p>
<p><em>Hand of Fate</em> is the second installment in the Kyrandia series. The gameplay is similar to that of the previous game. Interaction is possible only with highlighted objects on the screen, and is reduced to a single cursor, without the distinction of separate commands. There are also no branching dialogues. Many of the puzzles involve picking up ingredients and concocting magic spells out of them.</p>

<p>Everyone blamed the jester Malcolm for allegedly turning everyone to stone and killing the King and the Queen of Kyrandia. Their son Brandon eventually turned Malcolm himself into stone. However, a thunderbolt strikes the jester, liberating him from his predicament. Now it's his turn to tell the world his version of the truth, whether in his usual mischievous manner or by becoming a nicer person.</p>
<p><em>Malcolm's Revenge</em> is the third entry in the <em>Legend of Kyrandia</em> series and, like its predecessors, an adventure game focusing on inventory-based puzzles. The basic gameplay is similar to the previous entries: the "smart cursor" is responsible for all the actions in the game - taking, using, talking, etc. During conversations, it is possible to control Malcolm's level of truthfulness as well as his "good" and "bad" attitude. Many puzzles in the game have multiple solutions, though the main story remains unchanged for the most part.</p>

<p>Empire II: The Art of War is a further update of the classic computer wargame. (See <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/869/empire-deluxe/">Empire Deluxe</a>.) This version includes more terrains and more sighting and movement rules. A significant change is that land units can take damage in a skirmish instead of simply winning or losing (being destroyed). There are also added rules for unit morale. If a unit's morale gets to low, they retreat, regardless of your orders. Other additions are allowing for reinforcements to appear on certain turns and weather factors.</p>
<p>The scenario editor has been enhanced so that players cannot only create their own maps and scenarios, but their own custom units, including statistics and the graphics. So players can fight prehistoric, historical, fantasy, science fiction, or whatever battles they like.</p>

<p>After the defeat of the evil wizard Mondain and his mistress Minax in the previous two Ultimas, peace has returned to the land of Sorsaria. Times passes and eventually geological disruptions and a resurgence of the monster populace occur, and it is soon learned that Mondain and Minax had conceived a child named Exodus before their death. Now that child has become an adult with the power to avenge the death of his parents. Obviously, it falls upon the hero from Earth to find and stop him.</p>
<p>The third title in the Ultima series was the first to feature a party of adventurers instead of a single player character. The party is created at the beginning of the game by assigning various class combinations and determining the characters' attributes. The game has larger and more detailed towns, populated by NPCs the protagonist can converse with to obtain clues. Like in earlier Ultima games, exploration is divided between top-down overworld locations and first-person 3D dungeons. This installment introduces  separate combat screens where player-controlled party fights multiple monsters in a turn-based tile-based system.</p>

<p>The sequel to Ultima featured several improvements over the original, such as larger town maps, and the concept of traveling through time gates into different eras on Earth. Other than that the gameplay is pretty much the same as in Ultima I, with your single character roaming the land fighting monsters and looking for key items.</p>
<p>In the original Ultima a hero from a certain third rate blue planet orbiting an insignificant yellow sun came to the world of Sosaria and slew the evil wizard Mondain before he could fulfill his dreams of universal domination. Thus peace was brought to Sosaria, and the hero hailed as a champion of the people of all time. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, Mondain happened to have a young apprentice/lover named Minax who is understandably upset over his death. Using her considerable powers, Minax travels through time and space to the hero's homeworld of Earth and instigates a nuclear war, thus serving the dual purpose of working out her frustration as well as erasing the hero from history. Of course, as the hero, this works out rather badly for you, and so with the help of Lord British you must travel through time and somehow find Minax and prevent the events which culminate in the destruction of Earth.</p>

<p>A dragon flight simulator set in the AD&amp;D world of Dragonlance. Fly dragons through the War of the Lance. When you successfully complete a mission, you can advance in rank, gain magical items and hit points or get a better dragon.
The 20 missions include intercepting enemy dragons, destroying enemy ships and protecting the forces of good.</p>

<p>The Covert Operations is an add-on to <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>. It adds 15 new single-player missions to the game: 7 for GDI and 8 for Nod. The missions can be played in any order and are noticeably more difficult than any in the original game. </p>
<p>Several units that had only been available in multiplayer mode in the original game now regularly appear in the new single-player missions as well, including Nod's chem troopers and SSM launchers.</p>
<p>In addition to the single-player missions, there are also 10 new multiplayer maps.</p>
<p>The add-on disc can be used with both the original release of Command &amp; Conquer as well as the <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer+(Special+Gold+Edition)">Special Gold Edition</a> re-release for Windows.</p>

<p>Following the defeat of the evil triad in the previous three <em>Ultima</em> games, the world of Sosaria changed beyond recognition: continents rose and sank, and new cities were built, heralding the advent of a different civilization. Unified by the reign of the benevolent monarch Lord British, the new world was renamed Britannia. Lord British wished to base people's well-being on the ethical principles of Truth, Love, and Courage, proclaiming the Eight Virtues (Honesty, Compassion, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Spirituality, and Humility) as the ideal everyone should strive for. The person who could accomplish full understanding and realization of these virtues would serve as a spiritual leader and a moral example for the inhabitants of Britannia; he alone would be able to obtain holy artifacts, descend into the Stygian Abyss, and access the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom. This person is the Avatar.</p>
<p>The fourth game in the <em>Ultima</em> series features an improved game engine, with color graphics and enhanced character interaction: the player can have conversations with non-playable characters by typing names of various topics. However, the main difference between <em>Ultima IV</em> and its predecessors in the series (as well as other role-playing games) lies in the game's objectives and the ways to fulfill them. </p>
<p>Instead of building up a character by any means possible in order to face a villain in the end of the game, in <em>Ultima IV</em> the player is trying to become the Avatar, a role model for people. This means upholding the Eight Virtues, basically trying to become a better person. Making morally conscious decisions and helping other people is not done expecting a material reward, but because it is the actual goal of the game and the main focus of its gameplay. The game frowns on behavior typical of most other RPGs, such as backstabbing fleeing enemies or picking up everything that isn't nailed down even if it does not belong to the protagonist. This different approach established the game's reputation as the first "true" <em>Ultima</em>, influencing the design philosophy of later installments and the overall spirit of the series.</p>
<p>Character creation is done by choosing responses to morally ambiguous questions. Each of the Eight Virtues corresponds to a character class; by determining the player's personal priorities in the virtues, the game assigns a class and a starting location for the Avatar. After emerging in Britannia, the player is free to explore it in various ways (on foot, moongate teleportation, on horseback, by ship, etc.). Certain items must be collected in any order to enter the Stygian Abyss and complete the game. The Avatar also has to reach the highest level in all virtues. This is achieved by various means: donating blood increases Sacrifice, not fleeing from combat increases Valor, etc. The process, however, is not irreversible: should the Avatar overpay a blind seller, he gains Compassion points; should he, on the other hand, cheat the seller by underpaying, his level in several virtues would decrease.</p>
<p>These unorthodox features of the game co-exist with plenty of traditional RPG elements, such as dungeons to explore and hostile monsters to kill. Enemies are encountered on the world map as well as in dungeons; combat takes place on separate top-down screens, allowing player-controlled and enemy parties freely move on them. Characters accumulate experience points and level up, gaining higher amount of hit points and access to stronger magic spells. Like in the previous installments of the series, world map, town exploration and combat are presented from a top-down view, while the dungeons are pseudo-3D and are explored from first-person perspective.</p>
<p><em>Ultima IV</em> also introduces several new gameplay features to the series and role-playing games in general. A number of initially non-playable characters living in various areas of the game world are able to to join the party and fight alongside the hero, replacing traditional player-generated characters or mercenaries and adventurers available only in special locations. Additional new elements include buying and combining reagents in order to cast spells, puzzle rooms in dungeons, and others.</p>
<p>The FM Towns version, while identical to the others in gameplay, introduces upgraded graphics similar to those used in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/808/ultima-v-warriors-of-destiny/">next</a> installment of the series.</p>

<p>Stunt Island was marketed as "The Stunt Flying and Filming Simulation". With over 50 aircraft (including the space shuttle) and over 1000 props, you could either fly around the island, make your own films, or fly stunts for money.</p>

<p>The RAF's Harrier GR7, or the US Marine Corps' AV-8B represented a new generation of aircraft. Vertical take-off and landing, plus the ability to hover and reverse, make this a plane of immense power, capable of winning any argument, and here's your chance to fly it. </p>
<p>Fly in three imagined flash-point areas of future conflict (which are now in the past): Hong Kong 1996, the Falklands 1997 and Nord Kapp 1998. Each of these has multiple difficulty settings. Pre-flight briefings and scene-setting drags you into the action, but mission objectives and enemies change as the flights unfold due to real-time AI.</p>

<p>In the year 2012 it was finally possible to send a space ship to Mars. The scientists returned with a small object of unknown origin, which was supposed to be a proof for the existence of life on the planet. The object was taken to a special underground research facility and secured in its lowest labs, down "Corridor 7". Exposed to gamma radiation, the mysterious object caused a portal to appear, which connected two worlds. The Alien invasion began. It's time for you, a brave Special Forces agent, to descend to Corridor 7, where the fate of humanity must be decided.</p>
<p><em>Corridor 7</em> is a first-person shooter that uses an enhanced version of the <a href="/search/?q=WolfGS">Wolfenstein 3D</a> engine. New features include transparent and animated textures, an auto map and distance shading.</p>
<p>Unlike <em>Wolfenstein 3D</em>, your goal is not to find the exit, but to kill all the aliens on the map.</p>
<p>There are two versions of <em>Corridor 7</em>, a disk version and a CD version. Both versions feature the 30 levels of the research base, but the CD version adds an additional 10 single player levels with additional weapon and alien types.</p>
<p>The CD version also comes with multiplayer in the form of 12 player Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch modes (believed to be the first FPS to allow that many players) and 8 additional maps made specially for it. In Deathmatch, the player can take control of one of 12 <em>Corridor 7</em> characters (two recoloured humans and 10 aliens, 4 of which are Bandor variants) which all have slightly different starting stats (different speed and starting health) but all characters use the same weapons.</p>

<p><em>Joe &amp; Mac: Caveman Ninja</em> features the characters Joe and Mac as cavemen ninjas in a multi-level platform area where the player has to jump and club incoming enemies. They can also throw at them from distance using such weapons as boomerangs, bones, fire, flints, electricity and stone wheels. The objective of the game is to rescue a group of girls who were kidnapped by a rival tribe.</p>

<p>It is up to the blue robot Megaman to stop the plot of Dr. Wily, the maverick lab assistant, by jumping and shooting his way past an army of robots. At the end of these levels are three of Dr. Wily's robot masters, Dyna Man, Sonic Man and Volt man who each drop a key when defeated. These keys are then used to gain access to the room where the megacomputer Crorq is being stored for a final showdown. As always, Megaman can absorb the weapon power of the robot masters and use it as his own.</p>
<p><em>Mega Man</em> is a side-scrolling platform game. It differs greatly from the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12768/mega-man/">earlier console release</a>, with only three bosses and not very many extras to find. Lesser robots can defeated and drop a variety of power-ups including an energy capsule for filling energy, a weapon capsule which restores the power of captured robot weapons, an extra life, a continue and an energy tank which will restore all of Megaman's energy once.</p>

<p>Another live-actor arcade shooter by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/442/american-laser-games-inc/">American Laser Games</a> (makers of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/457/mad-dog-mccree/">Mad Dog McCree</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/459/crime-patrol/">Crime Patrol</a>), <em>Who Shot Johnny Rock?</em> is set in the classic 1920's style gangster era. </p>
<p>As the title suggests, you're supposed to find out who shot singer Johnny Rock (or at least who hired the guys who shot him) and put them behind bars.</p>
<p>There are some differences between this game and previous <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/442/american-laser-games-inc/">American Laser Games</a> shooters. Instead of a wimpy pistol, you get a tommy gun (which doesn't need to be reloaded). Unfortunately, you also have limited ammo and need to buy more at times. Instead of lives, you have a fixed supply of money, and each time you die you lose some cash. Lose it all and it's game over.</p>

<p>Take the Apache, the new Longbow Apache, The Blackhawk, Comanche Scout, Comanche Gunship, or the MD-500 Defender on campaigns or missions. The updated graphics engine provides much more detailed terrain variation, with true valleys/hills and even train tunnels that you can fly through. When you are promoted to a sufficient rank you can take along multiple helicopters to accomplish your objectives. The dynamic campaign generates new missions based on multiple maps. Attack, defend, sweep, scout, rescue, drop... Lots of missions to keep you busy. The crew learns and grows in experience as they continue to survive and succeed. A full mission recorder allows you to view every member of your team as they fight or die. Plenty of weapons are available for your side from the latest Hellfire missiles and Sidearm anti-radar missiles to the old-fashioned chain gun and gun pods are available for your use. The enemy can be well-armed as well, from deadly 2S6 gun/missile combo to old-fashion ZSU-23, even the occasional MiGs.</p>

<p>In the two volumes of <em>Elfland</em> you play as an Elf fighting off the evil trolls that have invaded your homeland. In volume one make the perilous journey to Gorgimer's Castle to get a potion that will help against the trolls. Gorgimer the Alchemist isn't friendly to strangers so you must find a way to convince him to help the Elves. In volume two you will continue the adventure as you rescue the village elves by defeating the Troll Chieftain.</p>
<p>At the start of the game, choose to play as a boy or girl (Elfie or Elfita). Gameplay consists largely of platform jumping while avoiding enemies. You can jump up into trees, across clouds, and down into darkened caverns. An assortment of enemies will attack and block your way, but it is possible to temporarily stun them by throwing flash berries. The game is over when your life meter reaches zero.</p>
<p>The adventuring aspect of this game consists of talking to other characters that reveal tips and plot developments. Every friendly NPC has something to say. The game starts in the safety of the Elf village, so talk to everyone. While exploring <em>Elfland</em> you'll find flash berries, gems, cherries, and other bonus items. In this game elves can't swim, so be careful around water, usually a turtle will help out. Plenty of secret things are waiting to be found so look up in the clouds.</p>
<p>Finally, the game features a handy save and reload system. The game is divided into two major chapters, the first of which can be freely downloaded.</p>
<p><em>Elfland</em> was inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Captain+Comic">Captain Comic</a> and ID's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4453/commander-keen/">Commander Keen</a> series.</p>

<p><em>Ancients 1: Death Watch</em> is a mystical fantasy role-playing game, bringing players deep in the underground to do battle with bizarre monsters and find untold riches in and beneath the city of Locklaven.</p>
<p>The player uses keyboard or mouse to control a party of four explorers who journey together and must work as a team to ward off the many inhabitants of the dungeon. Said dungeon consists of several levels with increasing difficulty and the (relatively) save town above ground in which the characters can shop and heal. </p>
<p>Combat in the game is turn-based. Character improvement uses the traditional experience system, but after a level up the guild in Locklaven has to be visited. The game allows for three races (elf, dwarf and human) and four classes (warrior, thief, mage and priest).</p>

<p>You play a worm that has to get to the bell at the top of the screen without hitting blocks that slide down at you ala Donkey Kong-style.</p>

<p><em>YAB! Baseball</em> is a German-made baseball game with a rather simple gameplay, reminiscent of older, arcade-oriented approach to baseball simulations, such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9064/realsports-baseball/">RealSports Baseball</a>. The player is able to control two real MLB (Major League Baseball) teams: the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jets, represented by the corresponding colors.</p>

<p>Based on the 1992 feature film, <em>The Lawnmower Man</em> is a collection of minigames based on the revolutionary virtual reality sequences seen in the movie. The plot parallels the central conflict - the player controls Dr. Angelo (Pierce Brosnan) as he heads into cyberspace to confront the psychotic digital god Jobe (Jeff Fahey) he has created.</p>
<p>As the ruler of his digital domain, Jobe shifts and manipulates the virtual world into a series of challenges to test the player. These range from digital IQ tests, chase sequences requiring precision timing for jumping and ducking, and a tunnel flight as one of the virtual jets from the movie. Characters from the movie are also digitized by Jobe into willing henchmen, and must be defeated by the player in a series of quick time events.</p>
<p>All of the sequences are pre-rendered and streamed off the disc as movie files. Despite the computer-generated visuals, the game itself technically functions like an interactive movie (i.e. the graphics are not being drawn by the player's computer in real-time). Therefore, all the limitations of an interactive movie are still in play. Controls are extremely basic for each minigame, and failing to hit the right button at the right time generally switches to a lengthy "game over" video with no branching paths.</p>

<p><em>Xenophage: Alien BloodSport</em> is a versus fighting game starring somewhat unusual combatants: aliens. Eight alien fighters have been gathered on a space ship to fight each other to death. The Story Mode has the player follow this tournament from the point of view of one of the aliens; Free Play mode allows players to pit them against each other in any combination. </p>
<p>The gameplay follows the conventions of 2D fighting games; however, the characters are rendered in 3D. The camera follows the combatants, zooming in and out on the screen. The game includes considerable amount of gore (which can be adjusted), as well as special moves unique to each fighter, dubbed "humiliations".</p>

<p>The first add-on disk for X-Wing.
The story continues after the destruction of the Death Star and tells of the struggles of the rebels to find a new base.
There is a new Tour of Duty and a new Imperial ship: The TIE Advanced.</p>

<p><em>Jazz Jackrabbit</em> is the PC world's answer to <a href="/search/?q=Sonic"> Sonic the Hedgehog</a>. In this platform game, Jazz, the hero of the rabbit planet Carrotus, must rescue the beloved rabbit princess, Eva Earlong, and defeat the leader of the turtle terrorists, Devan Shell, traveling to different planets to gather clues concerning Eva's whereabouts while liberating them from Shell's tyranny.</p>
<p>The similarity to <em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> manifests itself in Jazz's uncanny speed, and the fact it increases the more he runs. However, the rest of the gameplay mechanics are different. The game is primarily a shooter, meaning that in order to defeat his enemies, it's not enough for Jazz to jump over their heads. Jazz starts with a blaster, but during the course of the game acquires other weapons, such as grenade launcher, flamethrower, TNT, etc. Jazz can also pick up various power-ups, including a force shield, a hoverboard that allows him to float in the air, a bird that will fight on Jazz's side, and others.</p>

<p>In <em>Alone in the Dark 2</em>, you take the role of detective Edward Carnby, one of the two main characters in the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/325/alone-in-the-dark/">Alone in the Dark</a>. Carnby is now called upon to investigate a bootlegger named One Eyed Jack after an old detective colleague named Stryker attributes Jack to the kidnapping of young Grace Saunders. Stryker attempts to infiltrate Jack's dilapidated mansion of Hell's Kitchen and rescue the girl, only to disappear himself. That's where Carnby comes in.</p>
<p>Carnby soon learns that Jack and his gangsters are really 15th-century pirates who gained immortality after Jack joined forces with Elizabeth Jarret, a Voodoo witch. However, the dark magic which keeps them immortal also requires Jack and his crew to regularly make human sacrifices (which explains Grace's kidnapping).</p>
<p>Now Carnby must battle his way through Hell's Kitchen and Jack's army of Tommy-gun-wielding gangsters, searching for a way to break the spell and make them stay dead. </p>
<p><em>Alone in the Dark 2</em> is an action-adventure game, similar to the original <em>Alone in the Dark</em>. Like its predecessor, the game uses hybrid 2D-3D graphics. Completing the game requires you to solve a lot of puzzles while fighting zombie pirates along the way. Some enemies can be killed with the numerous weapons at your disposal, while others need to be defeated via trickery. </p>
<p>Apart from Edward Carnby, the game also includes a short section (two sections in the CD-ROM version) where you play as the little Grace Saunders. Grace obviously cannot fight, and thus the sections featuring her are all about fast reflexes and wits to evade and outsmart the enemies.</p>

<p>After surviving through two encounters with the supernatural in Derceto and Hell's Kitchen, detective Edward Carnby is ready for another round of being Alone in the Dark.</p>
<p>In the third game in the series, we learn that Emily Hartwood (the other main character from the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/325/alone-in-the-dark/">original game</a>) started a career in Hollywood movies after surviving her ordeal in Derceto. Her latest project is a spaghetti western being filmed in an abandoned western ghost town called Slaughter Gultch, which rests precariously on the edge of the San Andreas fault. Originally a gold town set up rather rudely on ancient Indian sacred ground, Slaughter Gultch was founded by a man named Jebediah Stone and run by his own private army of cold-blooded killers. Stone and his men were killed by angry villagers led by the local Blacksmith, and the town was abandoned soon after. Unfortunately, Emily's crew disturbs the spirits of Stone and his men, who promptly return to the world of the living and proceed to kill off the film crew one by one. </p>
<p>Carnby is called to Slaughter Gultch after learning of the disappearance of Emily and her crew, and is soon met by Stone's Zombie Cowboy gang. Armed with various western paraphenalia such as colt peacemakers, bullwhips, and even a gatling gun, Carnby must fight his way through Stone's minions and discover Emily's fate. Along the way he learns some surprising things about Stone's origin, as well as a sinister plan interrupted by his death which involved the destruction of the west coast and which Stone can now pursue once again.</p>
<p>The gameplay is similar to the two predecessors: The player guides Carnby through static 3D screens which regularly switch camera perspectives. He collects various items and uses them to solve puzzles. Additionally to using items there are four actions which are triggered with the press of a button: jump (only at pre-defined places), open/examine, move (e.g. pushing) and fight. The latter is an important gameplay mechanics because many situations require a violent approach: the player either uses melee attacks or other weapons (with scarce ammo resources). The player has to aim manually and can set Carnby's and the enemy's life energy (which greatly affects the difficulty) in three steps.</p>

<p><em>World Hockey 95</em> is an ice hockey game focusing on international matches. The player can choose to control any of the leading national ice hockey teams in the world, and compete against other countries. The game has three play modes: practice, exhibition, and tournament. The player can train his team and swap players to make it more efficient in the upcoming tournament. The matches themselves are viewed from an isometric perspective.</p>

<p>On a trip with his parents to every kid's favorite place in the universe (Disney World, of course), Cosmo becomes stranded on a planet, his parents vanished.  You direct him as he runs and jumps through different lands, such as alien tropics, haunted forest, ice cave, and future world, to find his parents.  Along the way he encounters the various platform baddies that he must either jump to death in the classic style or destroy with bombs.  Bombs are also useful for finding secrets.  Cosmo is also armed with suction cup arms which he can use to climb up tall walls.</p>

<p><em>Paganitzu</em> is a puzzle game with action elements. Help the hero, Alabama Smith, go through rooms of puzzles and traps to find treasure and a way out.</p>
<p>The game consists of three episodes, each with many rooms. The episodes are:* Episode One: Romancing The Rose</p>
<ul>
<li>Episode Two: Quest For The Silver dagger</li>
<li>Episode Three: Jewel Of The Yucatan</li>
</ul>
<p>Each room is a puzzle in which the hero must collect gems, for points, and keys, to unlock the exit door, while avoiding nasties such as snakes and spiders. There are also boulders to be both moved and traps to be avoided. Bonus points are awarded for finding secret areas and for speedy completion. </p>
<p>Episode One was released as shareware while the other two episodes were purchased together or separately. The player could also, for an additional fee, purchase the sixty page game solution which allegedly answers such questions as "How do I become bald in Episode One?", and "Where is the Emerald City?". </p>
<p>The game also has many built in cheat codes which were available on purchase or on request.</p>

<p>The Gruzzles are lazy creatures that don't know how to read. That would have been half the trouble if they didn't decide that if they can't read, no one else should be able to. They stole all the letters from all the books, and the world was left without words. Benny the Bookworm, the keeper of books, sends a valiant little adventurer to bring the words back, and restore the world to its normal self.</p>
<p><em>Word Rescue</em> is an educational side-scrolling action game that attempts to teach children to recognize written words. The player's goal is to have the protagonist "bump" into question marks to reveal written words. Once a word has been revealed, the hero must find a picture that corresponds to it. Matching a word with a wrong picture summons a Gruzzle, who must be dispatched of.</p>

<p><em>Realms of Chaos</em> is one of the many action games <a href="/search/?q=3D+Realms">3D Realms</a> made back in the days they called themselves <a href="/search/?q=Apogee+Ltd">Apogee</a>.</p>
<p>Endrick, the warrior, and Elandra, the sorceress, have to travel through 26 levels, split into 3 'episodes' to find the source of what's corrupting the land of Mysteria. Endrick uses his sword to fight enemies in close combat, and Elandra uses a supply of gems to blast them with fireballs from a distance.</p>
<p>You can switch between characters at any time, but they both share the same health bar, and if one dies, you'll still need to restart the level.</p>

<p><a href="/search/?q=Chaos+Strikes+Back">Chaos Strikes Back</a> was a semi-sequel to seminal RPG <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/834/dungeon-master/">Dungeon Master</a>, but a true sequel came several years later. The game fuses real-time battles with puzzle solving and travelling, although the game now auto-maps. Rain and magic usage effects are incorporated into the engine. The first part of the game is spent above ground, visiting villages with shops and temples, and trawling through forests.</p>

<p><em>Solar Winds: The Escape</em> is a space saga. You are Jake Stone, a mercenary for hire. Go around the galaxy, make money, destroy ships, smuggle cargo, upgrade your ship and uncover a sinister plot.</p>

<p>You arrive at your home planet after a long space flight, only to find it has been destroyed by a demonic warlike alien race that kills for sheer pleasure. You are out for revenge. Your single-minded goal is to destroy the Battle Star. But before you reach him, you will have to battle your way through massive planets packed with danger and destruction. You can gain fuel, new weapons, and new parts for your space ship as you play.</p>

<p>A pilot is warned by a mysterious stranger that something terrible is about to happen in his town. Rushing home, the pilot discovers that his wife and baby daughter were murdered. The stranger who tried to warn the pilot is gravely wounded; however, before dying, he passes some information to him. The hero is back on his plane, determined to avenge the deaths of his beloved ones, alone against terrorist forces whose true goals are yet unknown...</p>
<p><em>Zone 66</em> is a top-down shooter in which the player controls an aircraft, eliminating other planes as well as ground-based hostile units (tanks, etc.). The player-controlled aircraft is able to move in any direction, avoiding enemy fire or preparing a better angle for the next shot. There is a wide selection of aircraft to choose from and each of them, before the gameplay, can be individually equipped with different types of weapons like missiles and bombs. Battles take place on eight different maps.</p>

<p><em>Blood &amp; Magic</em> is a real-time strategy game focused on unit management rather than base construction. It uses the <em>Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons</em> license (and thus has AD&amp;D type units) and takes place in the <em>Forgotten Realms</em> AD&amp;D setting. There are five separate storyline scenarios of increasing difficulty with three missions per scenario, playable from the side of both factions each, for a total of 30 missions in the game.</p>
<p>The game is tile-based with a 2D top-down perspective. The player starts out with the ability to create Basal Golems, around which the game revolves since they generate your sole source of power: mana. By spending mana they can be transformed into stronger fighter units or, less frequently, into buildings. The various types of terrain affect combat &amp; movement; magical items may be found on the battlefield (and the enemy does use them, too!).</p>

<p>You are the prince and heir to the land's greatest kingdom.  Garth, a wizard of immense power and greed, banished you as a child to far away while he ran the kingdom with an iron hand.</p>
<p>As you grew, you were taught the ways of a master
fighter.  And you learned well.  Return to your kindgom to end Garth's rule!</p>

<p><em>Stargunner</em> is a 2D (with pre-rendered 3D graphics) side-scrolling shoot'em up game, with many elements similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/511/raptor-call-of-the-shadows/">Raptor: Call of the Shadows</a>. The action takes place in the far future. The player controls a space ship, flies straightforward to the right and shoots various enemies (including end-level bosses). Between missions, the player can visit the shop to buy new equipment in exchange for collected money. The game has three difficulty settings and four types of missions.</p>

<p><em>Tyrian 2000</em> is a direct re-release of the original action smash, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/586/tyrian/">Tyrian</a>. It is essentially the same game with an additional new episode (Hazudra Fodder), a revised engine (less bugs and better controls) and added Windows support. It also adds another option called "Timed Battle".</p>
<p>Tyrian is nothing like your run-of-the-mill shoot-'em-up. It gained a following even larger than the classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/511/raptor-call-of-the-shadows/">Raptor: Call of the Shadows</a>, and rightfully so: it has a plot. A plot, you ask? Yes. And even a complex one. You play the role of Trent Hawkings, this galaxy's ace solo fighter-pilot, whose luck forces him to save the galaxy, one time after another. Again and again, Trent must fight off MicroSol, a company with the evil intent of taking over the galaxy. Through your struggles, you will find yourself again and again betrayed by friends and allies, your parents will be killed and you will have to return to points you've already been to (with variations on the levels) in order to remove further threats to the galaxy and to yourself, all for the ultimate goal of overthrowing MicroSol.</p>
<p>Tyrian also has two player arcade mode and supports network/modem/serial play. It features a multi-layered ship upgrade engine, in which you can change hulls, decide upon and upgrade your front and rear weapons, buy better shields and generators and even add ship "sidekicks". Tyrian's complete arsenal amound to over a dozen type of ships and over 100 weapon types!</p>

<p>In this mid-'80s text adventure, the player finds themselves a passenger on the doomed Titanic and must find some way to save themself before the ship crashes.</p>

<p>In what has to be considered one of the most "original" games of all time, you are a flying beer in space. And the evil corporations are coming after you, so you must use your "beer power" to fight off wave after wave of corporate "beer".</p>

<p>Fantasy baseball Home Run Derby. It's you versus the best in the league in a Home Run Derby.</p>

<p><em>Tempest 2000</em> is a remake/upgrade of the popular Atari vector graphics-based shooter.</p>
<p>Blast your way through over 100+ levels, shooting the creatures that come out from the other side of the web to drag you in. Collect power-ups (jump, AI robots and more) to trippy graphics and colorful explosions as a thumping techno-house soundtrack blasts in the background.</p>
<p>Collect enough bonuses, and be subjected to two different types of bonus rounds as you navigate through rings, or try to ride a spiral tube.</p>
<p>Also included in the gameplay is an intense two-player mode to team up with or go head to head against another player, or even play a version of the original arcade game. There are four modes of gameplay in all: Traditional Tempest, Tempest Duel, Tempest Plus and Tempest 2000.</p>
<p>Face the web....</p>

<p>Take a journey with Biff and Spiff to take back their crystal from an evil alien race. This crystal was their people's only power source which had given them their incredible
intelligence. But since it was stolen,  you have to listen Biff and Spiff's "incredibly" stupid conversations (you always have the choice to turn off this feature:)</p>
<p>Spaced is a 256-colors VGA shoot'em up which is created by only one person, Daniel Haffner. It has a very colourful super-scroll and "a bit cheesy" converted FM music from PC speaker music format...</p>

<p>Side-scrolling shooter. You are Rodge Rock and must collect power-ups and shoot everything in sight.</p>

<p>You are Blackstar in this adventure game, in which you must solve puzzling murders. </p>
<p>There are two episodes in the shareware series.</p>

<p>In the 22nd century, humanity has achieved world peace. The United Earth Space Alliance (UESA) was able to fully concentrate on space exploration. In the year 2147, the first colony ship was launched towards the asteroid Theta-2. However, the second vessel, carrying the colonists, encountered a terrifying disturbance in space. Alien ships emerged from what later became known as "The Void", and attacked the colony ship; the subsequent fate of ten thousand people on board was unknown. Humans constructed the inter-dimensional starfighter Radix, and sent it through The Void, in a desperate attempt to face the alien threat.</p>
<p><em>Radix: Beyond the Void</em> is a "2.5D" shooter in which the player controls a small spaceship, using mounted weaponry to deal with mechanized foes, somewhat similar to <a href="/search/?q=Descent">Descent</a>. Weapons may target individual enemies or initiate blasts that damage large areas; some of the scenery is destructible as well. Game progression is mission-based.</p>

<p>A time traveler from the future was stranded in Victorian England, and his knowledge of yet unknown technological inventions was passed to the Royal Society, headed by Baron Fortesque. With the help of this knowledge, Fortesque managed to construct an immensely complex artificial intelligence known as the Chaos Engine. However, creation rebelled against its creator, assimilated its mind, and turned Britain into a war zone populated by mad machines. Mercenaries are willing to enter this dangerous place and put an end to the chaos, hoping for an appropriate reward.</p>
<p><em>Chaos Engine</em> (<em>Soldiers of Fortune</em> in the US) is a run-and-gun overhead shooter. Sixteen levels (in four groups of four) await the players in the game. The basic gameplay is similar to <a href="/search/?q=Gauntlet">Gauntlet</a>, but in an open-air setting, with bridges across rivers and other features in the maps. The visuals are in the 'metallic and blue' style Bitmap Brothers appeared to favor.</p>
<p>There are six characters available in the game, each with different strengths and weaknesses, and different starting prices. In two-player mode, each player chooses a character and plays co-operatively, but in one-player games, the player also chooses a character for the computer to control, with its artificial intelligence allowing it to open doors, pick up power-ups and take on enemies away from the ones occupying the player-controlled character.</p>

<p>Four adventurers are sent by the Western Council to defeat out Uukrul, a great evil that once defeated the Ancients, thought to be destroyed, to possible invasion to the Western Lands. The last party sent by the council was lead by Mara, and it has been 18 months since they have sent word. The council assumes the worst. Now these adventurers must infiltrate the underground city of Eriosthe, continue to the eastern end of Eriosthe, the heart of Uukrul's stronghold, and destroy the evil once and for all.</p>
<p><em>The Dark Heart of Uukrul</em> is a first person perspective, turned-based role-playing game (RPG), where the player takes control of a party of four specifically classed adventurers: a fighter, a paladin, a priest, and a magician. The player may use a pre-generated party or create an entirely new party.</p>
<p>The adventure takes place in the immense underground city of Eriosthe, which consists of twisting caverns and dangerous monsters. Adventurers may however, take refuge in sanctuaries - safe havens created by the Ancients to provide safe resting, storing items, and access to teleportation portals. Characters sufficiently experienced will automatically be leveled-up here. Sanctuaries also act as a progress indicator as areas accessed after each sanctuary introduce stronger monsters and tougher puzzles. These safe havens may only be accessed after answering the puzzle by consulting the soul amulets (read=copy protection).</p>
<p>Aside from sanctuaries, the only other gathering place for adventurers is the marketplace. The marketplace is the only area in the whole of Eriosthe which provides services such as a shop to purchase and sell weapons, items and food, a forge to repair weapons, a hospice to heal wounds and cure diseases, a mausoleum where dead characters can resurrected or laid to rest (removing dead members), a guild to meet and replace (if needed) dead companions with new recruits and a teleportation portal, which links to other portals (such as those in sanctuaries) and other areas. The marketplace also links to temples and the Magic Circle, which allows priest and magician characters to advance (by obtaining rings of power). There are also rumors that a sage provides services in identifying objects somewhere deeper in the eastern tunnels...</p>
<p>Adventuring in Eriosthe consists of exploring its caverns and defeating randomly encountered (or pre-set) monsters. An auto-map feature is also available, as well as a directional compass to help guide the way. Certain encounters, such as puzzles may prompt the player to choose various options in handling the situation, each choice with a possible different outcome.</p>
<p>Turn-based combat occurs automatically when the party meets opponents while adventuring (indicated by a sudden picture of the opponent). Fighters and paladins take the offensive role, while priests and magicians (usually) take the support role of casting spells, summoning elementals, and invoking the gods. Surviving combat may uncover money and items. </p>
<p><em>The Dark Heart of Uukrul</em> has no sound or music.</p>

<p><em>Redneck Rampage</em> is a pseudo-3D first person shooter much like <a href="/search/?q=Duke+Nukem+3D">Duke Nukem 3D</a>, with 2D sprites for enemies and other objects. In fact, it uses the same <a href="/search/?q=3D+Engine:+Build">Build engine</a> as Duke Nukem 3D.</p>
<p><em>Redneck Rampage</em> also has a singularly unique setting... instead of taking place in an alien installation or secret government facility, the game is set in the backwater small town of Hickston, Arkansas. </p>
<p>It seems that a bunch of tabloid leather-fetish cyborg aliens have abducted the town's stereotypical redneck inhabitants and cloned them. The aliens have also abducted Bessie, the prize pig of brothers Leonard and Bubba. As Leonard you'll have to fight the local yokel clones as well as the aliens throughout Hickston to rescue your pig. </p>
<p>The 'Redneck' theme is used very heavily. Levels range from trailer parks to chicken processing plants, and the arsenal of odd weapons include a gun that shoots circular saws, a TNT crossbow, and even a machine gun bra. Also, instead of armor and health kits, you restore health and become tougher by drinking whisky and eating pork rinds. But if you drink too much you go into "drunk mode" with blurred vision and stumbling movement.</p>

<p><em>Space Quest (Collector's Edition)</em> is a compilation of the first five games in the <em>Space Quest</em> series. It contains:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/187/space-quest-i-roger-wilco-in-the-sarien-encounter/">Space Quest I</a> (both EGA and VGA versions)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/128/space-quest-ii-chapter-ii-vohauls-revenge/">Space Quest II</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/142/space-quest-iii-the-pirates-of-pestulon/">Space Quest III</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/143/space-quest-iv-roger-wilco-and-the-time-rippers/">Space Quest IV</a> (English CD-ROM version)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/144/space-quest-v-the-next-mutation/">Space Quest V</a> (English, French and German versions)</li>
</ul>
<p>As a bonus, a humorous movie clip about the history of the <em>Space Quest</em> series is included.</p>

<p>In <em>Stellar 7</em>, a remake of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/39286/stellar-7/">1983 game</a>, you drive the Raven, the most advanced Terran fighting vehicle. You are up against Gir Draxon and his evil Arcturan army. You will go from star system to star system, fighting his forces. When the enemies have been destroyed, a mothership flies overhead and beams down the Guardian of the star system, a giant enemy ship. When you reach the Arcturus star system, you will fight Gir Draxon!</p>
<p>The game is played from a first person view looking out from the cockpit of the Raven. It is in true polygonal 3D. Aside from a graphical and aural overhaul and the addition of cutscenes, the remake's gameplay and level design is virtually identical to the original, right down to the placement of each and every enemy. The major differences are the added "power modules" (e.g. supercannon, superjump) and a major boss creature at the end of every level.</p>

<p><em>Continuum</em> is a 3D game viewed from third-person perspective. The player pilots a "Mobile", a craft which bounces off of the platforms that fill the rooms. The player can rotate the craft left and right, thrust it forward, and move the camera up and down for optimal viewing. The game contains 256 rooms, which the player explores while in search of 16 crystals and 16 cubes. The Mobile bounces from platform to platform, making its way around the room to the doors that lead into other rooms. On the way, the player encounters many other creatures and vehicles, as well as surprises, such as rooms with reversed gravity.</p>
<p>There are two modes of play: Emotion and Action.</p>
<ul>
<li>In Action, players start in the central room, and work their way around with a time limit. Players gain time when going into a room they haven't been in before, and when crystal or cube power-ups are picked up. When time runs out, the Mobile explodes and the game ends.</li>
<li>In Emotion, players can choose to start in any of the 12 regions into which the 256 rooms are grouped. The regions are arranged in the context of different areas of the human brain. While there is no timer, players also can't explore beyond the region that is chosen.</li>
</ul>

<p>Future technology paved way to the creation of hovercrafts, which began to gradually replace motorized vehicles. Ben is the leader of the Polecats, one of the toughest biker gangs on the road. One day he drives over and damages a hovercraft limousine which belongs to Malcolm Corley, owner of Corley Motors, the last domestic motorcycle manufacturer. Later, Ben is having a bit of good clean fun at the Kick Stand Bar when Corley drops by for a bit of reminiscing. This leads to a meeting with Corley Motors' vice president Adrian Ripburger, who has his own sinister plans concerning the company, the Polecats, and the future of motorized vehicles. Ben refuses to co-operate and must now face the consequences and do everything in his power to bring Ripburger to justice.</p>
<p><em>Full Throttle</em> is a third-person puzzle-solving adventure game. The graphics are cartoon-style, similarly to LucasArts' previous adventure games <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Day+of+the+Tentacle">Day of the Tentacle</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Sam+%26+Max+Hit+The+Road">Sam &amp; Max Hit The Road</a>. The game features a revamped interface: instead of choosing a command verb or an action icon and then interacting with an object, the player can now simply point at it, and the available action icons will appear automatically. These include the standard "use", "examine", and "speak" actions, but also a separate foot icon for kicking. </p>
<p>As in other LucasArts adventure games, the player can select different responses during most conversations. However, compared to their previous works in the genre, <em>Full Throttle</em> is more streamlined, with less exploration, dialogue options or puzzles. Cinematic cartoon-style cutscenes are used to advance the plot. The game also includes a few simple action driving sequences, during which the player is required to navigate a motorcycle and fight hostile bikers by punching and kicking them, as well as using crude weapons such as chains and planks.</p>

<p>A text adventure game set in HP Lovecraft themes in 1920's. </p>
<p>The game's character generation routine was unusual. It was an ambitious project that was meant to carry over to a game series called "Timeline" which never happened. You had to guide the character's career through WWI, professions, as he or she gets skill points to distribute. Not many games had skills at all, let alone the plethora of skills to choose from in this game.</p>
<p>The text part of the game is a supernatural thriller where you have to escape the curse of the Hound of Shadow in 1920's London. It opens with a friend taking you to a seance to debunk. Strange things happen and you discover that you are under a curse. You research history and lore in musty bookstores, and the London Library to gather information about the Hound. As you play, you are likely to learn about mythology, and the occult, too. </p>
<p>There is a time limit, though, the Hound will get you eventually if you don't get on the ball.</p>

<p><em>3D Pitfall</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> variant which is played in a 3D perspective, similar to <a href="/search/?q=Blockout">Blockout</a>. The player's perspective set on top of a long shaft. Then one of differently shaped blocks appear on the screen and fall into the shaft. The goal is to rotate and place these blocks so that they fill the gaps. If at least one layer is completely filled it vanishes and rewards points - more layers at the same moment means more points.</p>
<p>When the player earns enough time the falling speed of the blocks gets increased and therefore adds more difficulty. The blocks appear randomly.</p>

<p><em>Arcy 2</em> is a puzzle game in which the player takes control over a smiley face that has to solve several one-screen levels. To finish a stage, the player needs to collect all keys and then reach the exit. However, there are of course some obstacles to overcome, mostly in the form of enemies. These behave in predictable ways, e.g. spiders just move forward and turn left or right when reaching an obstacle or gogglers look in a direction and move towards the smiley when it moves into their sight. Other elements are stones (can be moved), water (can't be crossed, but filled up with stones), one-way streets or bonus balls which give additional points when collected.</p>
<p>The game can be saved at any time, but the level restarts when loading it. There is no time limit, a limited amount of lives (every touch - or in the case of snakes, glimpse - is instant death) and a high score list.</p>

<p>Two puzzle solving games in one. In one you must play a version of Tetris which uses prizms, the other you must move your alien friend to collect all the coins.</p>

<p>Early <a href="/search/?q=Doom:+Evil+Unleashed">Doom</a> clone. Uses the 3d Game Creation engine, used by many authors to easily create 3d games, quickly and at a low cost. The idea behind the game is that you have landed on a planet and you must shoot everything in sight to achieve your goal.</p>

<p>Typical mid-90's side scroller. You are Jack Flash and you must "suck" the energy from all the evil inanimate objects that have been brought to life.</p>

<p>Judgment Rites is the successor of the <a href="/search/?q=Star+Trek:+25th+Anniversary"> Star Trek: 25th Anniversary</a>. The game adds eight new missions, and is almost identical to its predecessor in terms of graphics, sounds and gameplay.</p>
<p>The Limited CD-ROM Collector's Edition contains:</p>
<ul>
<li>enhanced CD-ROM version (with voice-acting) of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3492/star-trek-judgment-rites/">Judgment Rites</a></li>
<li>bonus disc featuring never before published interviews of Gene Roddenberry and Leonard Nimoy plus a video clip showing the making of the Judgment Rites</li>
<li>video cassette containing two episodes from the original series</li>
<li>Star Trek: Judgment Rites badge</li>
</ul>
<p>Later digital release of this game does not include the video cassette nor the badge, which are exclusive to the retail release.</p>

<p><em>Gladiator</em> resembles <a href="/search/?q=Gauntlet">Gauntlet</a>, set in medieval times. You must travel the forest and kill off all the monsters, collecting treasures en route. You can select from seven different classes of characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses in areas such as strength, dexterity and armor.</p>

<p>Platform puzzle game in which your are Mimi and you must avoid the mites or shoot them and find your way out through a maze of sorts.</p>

<p>Frogger clone, pretty much a carbon copy, has updated graphics and sound, but features that same classic gameplay.</p>

<p>Captain Kirk and the USS Enterprise are representatives of the United Federation of Planets. Their role in space is that of explorers as well as a military presence. The Enterprise routinely encounters strange adventures and bizarre situations, each laid out as a separate "episode" which must be played in order. The first episode involves the USS Enterprise being called to a world to investigate strange "demons" have appeared from the mines and begun attacking the settlers.</p>
<p><em>Star Trek: 25th Anniversary</em> is based on the 1960s Star Trek TV series. The game is a combination of a point-and-click, side-scrolling adventure game and a first person starship simulator. This tie-in actually missed the 25th Anniversary of Star Trek's TV debut by half a year (nearly three years in the case of the Amiga version), but it uses the original series' characters and settings. Players directly control Captain Kirk, leader of the Starship Enterprise, and are able to give orders to other crew members. While the enterprise is on a peaceful mission, combat is possible. A new game begins on the bridge of the Enterprise, seen from a 3rd person view of Kirk, but a first person view out the viewscreen of the Enterprise. When on board the ship, Kirk can contact Chekov to assign a designation, raise shields or begin combat, contact Sulu to engage warp or adjust magnification, contact Spock to scan for data and search for keyword information, contact Uhura to deal with communications, and contact Scotty to change power allocation and repair damage and beam down to a planet. During combat, the player steers the Enterprise manually and is able to turn in 720 degrees of direction as well as increase or decrease speeds. Weaponry includes phaser banks which draw from the ship's energy and proton torpedoes which are in limited supply.</p>
<p>The adventuring bulk of the game comes in the form of many landing party missions, in which the player beams down to the surface of a planet and explores the situation. Kirk can move about on the screen, other crew members automatically follow him. From the menu, he chooses a body part to perform an action: eyes represent looking, mouth represents speaking, one hand represents using items (and crew members) while another is to pick up objects. Kirk carries an inventory of items collected which can be accessed and used at any time. In most missions Kirk will carry a communicator to contact the ship and a phaser weapon which can be set to "stun" or "kill", The point-and-click adventure has different solutions to problems, but the ideal goal of the federation is to solve things non-violently. Performance is rated accordingly as well as being based on how many extra discoveries and advances made and interaction with different beings, including aliens. The surroundings are all based on styles from the TV series and solutions to puzzles involve the skills of multiple crew members.</p>

<p>Mylo Steamwitz, an enterprising space trader, is always involved in one get-rich-quick scheme or another. Throughout the <em>Crystal Caves</em> trilogy he repeatedly sets out to the perilous mines of the Altairian system, hoping to collect enough crystals to start a profitable business. The shareware version only has the first episode available; the registered version consists of three installments, packed as separate executables. </p>
<p><em>Crystal Caves</em> is a side-scrolling platform game, where the objective is to finish all levels, collecting every single crystal within. On his way, Mylo is threatened by numerous monsters, such as bats, robots, mine carts or dinosaurs; there are also a lot of hazards such as stalactites and stalagmites, pipes which leak harmful water or poisonous mushrooms which kill instantly. Mylo has three health points, and if he is harmed enough times to deplete them all, he dies (but thankfully he has unlimited lives). To defend himself, Mylo has a missile pistol, which is able to take out most enemies, but not all. Many levels require the player to act fast and plan beforehand, as it's easy to get Mylo stuck in an impossible-to-win situation - if this happens, the level must be restarted. </p>
<p>Apart from the crystals, the levels contain a lot of items to collect: ammunition for the pistol, bonus items such as pickaxes or purple mushrooms that give score, and eggs which turn into letters when shot - collecting all 5 letters (B, O, N, U, S) on a level gives a lot of points, but it's not always easy to get them! It's also possible to find a power-up that reverses gravity when picked up, another one which gives your pistol the power to kill every enemy, a stop sign which freezes all enemies and makes them harmless and a red mushroom which allows you to kill enemies by running into them. These power-ups last only for a limited time though, so be careful, as they are always instrumental to victory!</p>

<p>This is simply a compilation of all the Empire Deluxe games and add-ons on a single CD-ROM. It includes <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/869/empire-deluxe/">Empire Deluxe</a> (for DOS), <a href="/search/?q=Empire+Deluxe+for+Windows">Empire Deluxe for Windows</a>, and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/870/empire-deluxe-scenarios/">Empire Deluxe Scenarios</a>.</p>

<p>Jean-Luc Picard, captain of the Federation starship USS Enterprise-D, is on a mission to encounter an ultimate threat to the known galaxy. The game starts with a Federation outpost detecting an unknown ship approaching Federation space; the Enterprise is sent to deal with this new situation. The mystery ship appears to be a small scout-ship from Garid that has lost power to its engines and as a result has sailed off of its intended course. Suddenly, a Romulan Warbird battleship from Garid uncloaks itself right between the protagonist and the new ship, and thus a new story begins.</p>
<p><em>A Final Unity</em> is a hybrid game with adventure and strategy segments. Whilst on the ship the player can use the tactical console to engage in occasional battles against enemy, repair damaged systems, and select teams for away missions. These missions constitute the larger portion of the game, and are played like a traditional point-and-click adventure, including item manipulation and puzzle-solving. Dialogues may vary depending on the crew members previously selected by the player.</p>

<p>In the distant future, the Earth is ruled by a group of people who call themselves "The Order". Many disasters have plagued the planet, and after many wars, misery, and death, the Order controls people's lives and deprives them of their freedom. A rebel organization has been formed, seeking to overthrow the Order and whoever else might be behind their rise to power. Somewhere in the depths of a ruined Town Hall, a group of people who oppose the Order's regime welcome a lone wanderer to become the one who will free the Earth from terror.</p>
<p><em>Strife</em> is a plot-driven first-person shooter that uses the <a href="/search/?q=Doom:+Evil+Unleashed">Doom</a> engine. Rather than taking the player through a linear series of levels, the game offers a continuous world with free-roaming elements and a central "hub" (the town), which the player can visit between missions and explore. Although there are no true role-playing elements in the game, it has several features rarely seen in contemporary FPSs: there are "friendly" areas where there are no enemies but people to talk to, stores where new equipment can be bought, and taverns where the latest gossip is told. The player can also purchase upgrades that permanently increase the player character's health bar.</p>
<p>The game has a branching storyline with a few paths that lead to three different endings. These paths are determined by a decision the player makes during the course of the plot.</p>

<p>3D Shooter, in the same class as Castaway: The Ordeal Begins. Your character must save Sharla, a beautiful woman (she had better be beautiful, otherwise why would this guy save her?) who has been taken captive.</p>

<p>In <em>VGA Sharks</em>, play a diver and shoot underwater creatures ranging from ray-bats (mantas), sharks, killer jelly fish [sic], and other sea creatures. The diver may move in any direction, including diagonally to avoid and shoot sea creatures. Shooting a sea creature will reward the player with one point, while colliding with them will result in a bite point, which may stack as long as the diver remains in contact with a sea creature. A shark proof cage or similar cage will be provided at the upper corner screen to protect the diver from the sea creatures.</p>

<p>As a new CIA operative, you've been called to Washington. Apparently a Russian candidate for president was assassinated (read: shot) while giving a public speech. Can you uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest level of government (both US and Russia)?</p>
<p><em>Spycraft</em> is an adventure game with simulation elements that involves quite a bit of puzzle-solving. With input from ex-head of KGB and ex-head of CIA, the scenario is frighteningly authentic. You choose your actions from what is available on screen. You will need to collate large amount of information, and pick out certain patterns that will lead you to what you need. You are helped along by your trusty PDA which highlights the areas to be investigated (i.e. puzzles to be solved) and keeps track of relevant facts.</p>

<p><em>Xyphr</em> is a sci-fi shooter reminiscent of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1434/space-harrier/">Space Harrier</a>. The player controls a space craft from a third-person perspective, adjusting the altitude while automatically moving through pseudo-3D environments. The gameplay is rather simple: many hostile ships and other enemies are there to stop the hero, and constantly shooting at them is the only way to survive.</p>

<p>You must kill off endless waves of aliens. You do this by flying around a screen (using your rocket pack) and then shooting them with your machine gun.</p>

<p><em>The Tomb</em> is a clone of the arcade classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10841/tutankham/">Tutankham</a>, in which the player must avoid snakes and the like and collect treasure.</p>

<p>Top-down shooter in which you must "save" the world, by going from arena to arena shooting at the other guy.</p>

<p>Caleb was once a feared gunslinger, until he met a woman who was involved with a mysterious cult known as Cabal. Caleb, too, is sucked in, and soon becomes one of the Chosen - the most favored worshippers of the evil god Tchernobog. But one day, Tchernobog inexplicably kills the four Chosen, including Caleb. Mysteriously resurrected years later, Caleb is out to get revenge, and learn why his lord cast him down so abruptly.</p>
<p><em>Blood</em> is a first-person shooter with horror elements, which uses the Build engine. Similarly to <a href="/search/?q=Duke+Nukem+3D">Duke Nukem 3D</a>, the environment is interactive: many objects can be physically moved or affected in other ways. Destruction of landscapes is possible (although only in specific spots), with bullet holes being left by misplaced shots. The Build engine version is 2.5D, so there are rooms above rooms and puzzles which are based on this.</p>
<p>The game consists of four episodes, each containing a set of maps that have to be traversed by the protagonist in a specific order. The levels are usually realistic-looking structures, e.g. a carnival complete with twisted attractions, a city district, a moving train, etc.</p>
<p>Throughout the levels, Caleb will have to find keys (up to six in a level) and hit switches in order to work his way to the exit. On the way, he will meet a variety of enemies, such as zombies that tend to come back to life after killed, cultists armed with shotguns and tommy guns that shout in pseudo-Latin language, crawling hands that attempt to choke him, hell-hounds that can set him on fire with their breath, and many more. Boss battles await Caleb at the end of each episode.</p>
<p>To defend himself against this menace, Caleb utilizes a variety of weapons: a pitchfork; a flare gun that can set enemies on fire; a sawed-off shotgun; a tommy gun; a napalm launcher; TNT bundles which come in three different varieties; a home-made flamethrower made of an aerosol can; a tesla cannon that electrocutes enemies; a magical staff dubbed "Life Leech"; and a voodoo doll. </p>
<p>There are items to pick up strewn around. Unlike most other 3D shooters, the protagonist's health is not replenished via medikits, but by "Life Essences", heart-like power-ups randomly dropped by enemies upon their death. It is also possible to find armor, which comes in three different varieties - Physical, Fire, and Spiritual, each one defending Caleb from different attacks. There are also other power-ups: some (such as Jumping Shoes or Doctor's Bag) can be picked up and activated at any time, while others (such as Partial Invisibility) activate immediately when taken. </p>
<p>As the title implies, violent and gory imagery plays a significant role in the game. Enemies might explode when taken out; it is possible to kick severed heads; impaled victims can be found lying around; enemies die in different ways depending on how they are attacked and in which part of their body, etc.</p>

<p>As Agent 006, you are the world's only hope: the terrorist organization known as the D.V.S. has captured the blueprints to a new, powerful weapon known as the "Red Rock Rover". Your mission is to infiltrate several islands occupied by the D.V.S. and retrieve each part of the blueprints. The shareware version only has the first episode available; the registered version consists of three installments, packed as separate executables. </p>
<p><em>Secret Agent</em> is a side-scrolling platform game, where your objective is to complete 15 levels, allowing you to gain access to the "main fortress" which is the 16th level. On each level, you have to find and destroy a radar dish, and also find a bundle of dynamite and place it at the exit to blow it open. </p>
<p>On your way, you'll be threatened by human henchmen and robots, as well as various hazards, such as spikes, deadly laser beams (which have to be de-activated by finding a floppy disk and bringing it to a computer terminal) or pools of acid. The only weapon you have is a rifle which can be used to kill most opponents, though some are immune to bullets or require a little more than shooting blindly if you want to kill them! Agent 006 has three health points, and losing all three will kill him (though you have unlimited lives) - not to mention that some hazards kill instantly! You'll also have to make good use of pushable barrels which you can occasionally find: they'll be used as stepping-stones to reach higher ground, but make sure you don't drop them into a pit from which they cannot be retrieved. </p>
<p>There's a variety of objects to collect - ammunition, bonus objects that give score (such as bags of money, briefcases, walkie-talkies etc.), and an opportunity to get a big score bonus: on each level, if you find three letters S, P, Y and collect them in the exactly right order, you'll get a lot of points - but it won't be easy! You can also find a few power-ups: boots that speed you up for a while, goggles that makes a few more platforms appear (thus giving you access to unreachable spots), an "increased shot power" item which allows you to fire faster, but also a question mark which reverses your movement for a moment (very confusing) or a "1/2" fraction which slows you down.</p>

<p><em>IndyCar Racing</em> is <a href="/search/?q=Papyrus">Papyrus'</a> second racing game, four years after the release of <a href="/search/?q=Indianapolis+500">Indianapolis 500</a>.

<p>The land of Ymros was first encountered in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1247/shard-of-spring/">Shard of Spring</a>, and it returns in this follow up, which is viewed from above, but has a game-world 32 times the size of its predecessor. Your characters can include Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Trolls, each with different skills as well as generated and varying statistics, and one of 10 different character classes - Barbarian, Wizard and Scholar for Example. You will need to choose the right balance of these for your mission, which involves tracking down Malifon and gain revenge on the damage he has done to Ymros.</p>
<p>Combat takes place via close-quarters combat and spell-casting, depending on the character's abilities.

It has also a 'skill/item' menu in which items can be used on other items to solve problems.</p>

<p><em>Spirou</em> is a platform side-scroller based on popular Franco-Belgian comic strip <em>Spirou et Fantasio</em>. The story begins in New York where famous inventor Count of Champignac is about to present his latest inventions. Journalists Spirou and Fantasio, the Count’s most faithful friends are also there. Suddenly an evil robot woman Cyanida (originally called Cyanure), known to be obsessed with plans to enslave humanity, appears and abducts the scientist! There’s no time to lose, so Spirou and his pet squirrel Spip rush to the rescue, while Fantasio stays back to dig for more information. </p>
<p>The player controls Spirou. He is able to jump, duck, climb ladders and cliffs and run fast if the player holds down the action button. In the fourth level Spirou gets a gun to stand a chance against the increasing numbers of Cyanida’s minions. Spirou’s quest will see him travel through city streets and rooftops, a toy store, subway, Palombian swamp and jungle and other locations in over 12 levels. </p>
<p>The player only gets 3 lives and no continues to beat the game. A single password is granted after beating the first half of the game.</p>

<p><em>The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun</em> is based on the Belgian comic book of the same name. The basic plotline is the same: Professor Cuthbert Calculus gets kidnapped and the player, in the role of Tintin, needs to rescue him. The rest is more loosely adapted: in contrast to the comic, which is mostly based in Peru, this game offers many different locations all over the world.</p>
<p>The gameplay itself is a typical platforming action: Tintin walks through the levels while avoiding the enemies. Pretty much everyone, e.g. little girls and security guards, is out to hurt Tintin who has no means of defending himself. This means the most important aspect is learning enemy placements, their patterns and how to avoid them. But he has to hurry because of the time limit. Required for success is the usage of the two playing plains: from the player's perspective in the foreground and further towards the background. Tintin can switch between the two at any time.</p>

<p>Despite its title, <em>Adventure Construction Set</em> is an editor that allows players to create their own role-playing scenarios. It is possible to customize a tile-set, maps, and objects to create RPGs reminiscent of the early <a href="/search/?q=Ultima">Ultima</a> games.</p>
<p>Seven small 'toolkits' to build from include Sci/Fi, Spy, and Medieval setting templates, plus two complete games are included as a demonstration: <em>Rivers of Light</em> is based on Sumerian mythology and contains 140 rooms and <em>Land of Aventuria</em> consists of seven mini adventures with different settings, e.g. an adaption of <em>Alice in Wonderland</em> or a Nazi castle.</p>

<p>Combine the gameplay ideas of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/22346/hack/">Hack</a>/<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/820/nethack/">NetHack</a> with the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/859/eye-of-the-beholder-iii-assault-on-myth-drannor/">Eye of the Beholder III</a> game engine and you get a graphical version of <em>Hack</em>: <em>Dungeon Hack</em>. Largely based on a construction set, the player can create their own dungeons and then crawl through them. </p>
<p>This is the ultimate dungeon crawl with over 4 billion possible dungeon configurations thanks to the random level generator. The generator has the ability to regenerate the entire dungeon structure, or just the items, the style, monster frequency, trap frequency... or any combination thereof.</p>
<p>Also includes a permadeath option that, when a character dies, completely deletes the character and saved games.</p>

<p>Another game that uses the same 3d creation software as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/946/castaway-the-ordeal-begins/">Castaway</a>. In this game, the player is a ninja working for Santa and must rescue his reindeer from the Abominable Snowpeople.</p>

<p>Another first person shooter using the 3d game creation engine. 3rd game in the Dispair series. In this installment you must destroy the wind machine before the Earth is blown away.</p>

<p><em>Lords of the Realm II</em> is a mixture of turn-based county and economic management and real-time combat.</p>
<p>As the game begins, the king has died and 5 nobles (including yourself) are vying for control of the realm, including the noble Baron, the headstrong Knight, the ice princess The Countess, and the backstabbing Bishop. You have to hold on to your counties by building larger castles and keeping the peasantry happy and well-fed.</p>
<p>When you engage your enemy in battle is when the real fun starts. You are given a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/371/warcraft-orcs-humans/">Warcraft</a>-type view of the battlefield with the units in your army and have to either get them to retreat (a rarity) or kill every last one of the little buggers. In a siege, you can end the battle by capturing the enemy's flag or dispatching all of your opponents soldiers to the great big Realm in the sky.</p>

<p>After his trip back to the Ancient Rome in <a href="/search/?q=Skunny:+Save+our+Pizzas">Skunny: Save our Pizzas</a>, Skunny the squirrel just wants to get back home. But instead he finds himself in the America of the Wild West. It turns out that his mother has altered the time machine because she wants his son to fix old injustices. Skunny shall get back the sheep that have been stolen from the farm of Skunny's parents back in 1909.</p>
<p><em>Skunny: In The Wild West</em> is a shareware platform game with ten levels in which all stolen sheep have to be freed. To reach this goal Skunny has to jump from platform to platform, cross seas or abysses and protect himself from hostile animals and persons with his weapon, a water pistol. While some enemies disappear permanently after being shot, others appear again after a short period of time. Getting hit or touched by an enemy results in losing energy and sooner or later in losing one of the four lives; falling down a platform Skunny loses a life immediately. Then he has to restart from the beginning of the level or a savepoint. In this case all already saved sheep are still saved but all enemies are back. 
Skunny can pick up water for his pistol, items that restore his health and can carry a box. He can put it down wherever he wants and use it to jump to higher platforms. </p>
<p>In the shareware version allows play of only the first two levels. By registering all ten levels can be played, there are more enemies and cheat codes can be used.</p>

<p>Metropolis was founded in 2213 A.D. by the United Stellar Council as the capital city of the planet XK-120, a mining planet and center of learning throughout the galaxy. That was the past. In 2315 A.D., Metropolis is invaded by the Tzorg. The new conquerer leave the planet but install a Robot Patrol System to keep the locals in check. Now the only resistance against the Tzorg occupation is a small group of resistance fighters of the Underground network. In the year 2400 A.D. the final hope to overthrow Tzorg rule over the city is to infiltrate the Tzorg Authority Complex through a recently discovered secret route, access the terminals, and shut down the robots; that is, if they had a computer specialist.</p>
<p>That's where the protagonist comes in. As part of yet another shipment of miners from other conquered Tzorg lands to replace the 'disappearances' of past workers, the hero has been contacted by the Underground to join their struggle against the Tzorg. The contact leaves instructions: find Spider, contact the Underground, good-bye and good luck.</p>
<p><em>2400 A.D.</em> is a top-down role-playing game that has similarities to <a href="/search/?q=Ultima">Ultima</a> games, though with simpler gameplay mechanics. The city of Metropolis is divided into five areas: Center, North, South, East, West. All of which are indicated by borders, guarded and patrol by different kinds of robots. Non-player characters also frequent the city. An attempt to communicate with them will open dialog boxes, where the player must type in keywords for further information.</p>
<p>Exploration and transportation may be conducted via three approaches: walking, using the "slidewalk" (automated sidewalk), or by using subway system. The city contains a few merchants where the player may purchase some items. More curious items such as weapons and personal devices, however, are rumored to be sold by the Underground. Throughout the city, there are also power nodes, which allow the player to recharge weapons and other devices. Use of these power nodes are illegal by the Tzorg Authority, prompting a possible robot dispatch to the area, or if any robots are in the immediate vicinity, to attack the character.</p>
<p>The main character has four primary attributes: Energy (equivalent to hit points and strength combined), Dexterity, IQ, and Affinity. During character creation, the player may allocate 99 points among these attributes. These attributes will increase during gameplay when the character performs certain actions. Affinity, for example, may increase when the character talks to NPCs.</p>
<p>Combat initiates when the player character attacks or is attacked by an enemy robot. Before engaging in combat, the hero must first equip a ranged weapon in the inventory (a maximum of eight items) and recharge the weapon. The character cannot attack if no charged weapon is equipped. Combat flows in real time, pausing when the player selects an attack. The protagonist may only shoot in a diagonal or vertical direction, while robots have the advantage to attack in all nine directions. If the character is hit, all attributes will be decreased. The attributes will return to their original scores over time. If the protagonist succeeds in defeating a robot, he may search the remains and obtain money. Defeat will result in imprisonment and confiscation of items at the Rehabilitation Center, where the protagonist must also register regularly to avoid being thrown into prison. Robots will re-spawn after a certain amount of time.</p>

<p>The city of Stormhaven Bay was once enjoying prosperity, protected by the balance of four elements: Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Each element had a mage that supervised and controlled it, preserving harmony in the land. But the Fire Mage, the leader of the group, was slain by a horrifying monster. This broke the balance, and monsters began to roam the land and attack townspeople. A brave hero is needed to defeat the fiends and restore peace!</p>
<p><em>Fire King</em> is a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1353/demon-stalkers/">Demon Stalkers</a>. Like its predecessor, it is essentially a <a href="/search/?q=Gauntlet">Gauntlet</a> variant in its core. The player explores the top-down world, descending into dungeons and fighting hordes of enemies in fast-paced, action-oriented combat. Compared to its spiritual predecessors, <em>Fire King</em> incorporates more RPG elements.The player can choose to control one of the six available characters, and specialize in one of the three disciplines: Magic, Armor, and Strength. Spells and other helpful items can be found in the dungeons and used against the enemies.</p>

<p><em>Ishar: Legend of the Fortress</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3301/crystals-of-arborea/">Crystals of Arborea</a>. Morgoth and Morgula, the black god and his witch wife who were defeated in the previous game, had a child, Krogh. Their evil progeny is based in the fortress Ishar, which means "unknown" in the elven tongue, and has plans to reduce to population of Kendoria to slavery.</p>
<p>The player takes the role of a traveler who, with the aid of up to five companions, battles through the fortress to defeat Krogh and stop the spread of the powers of chaos. Unlike its predecessor, <em>Ishar</em> is viewed entirely from first-person perspective, and its combat is real-time rather than turn-based.</p>

<p>Functionally identical to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/370/jones-in-the-fast-lane/">the original Jones in the Fast Lane</a>, but delivered on a CDROM and containing the following enhancements:</p>
<p>DOS version: Redbook CD Audio for the voice acting; additional animation and actor portraits; takes very little space on hard drive.</p>
<p>Windows 3.1 version: All the features of the DOS version, with the addition of a native Windows executable and MIDI music.</p>

<p>Pilot your starglider on a "road" through space, avoiding obstacles and holes along the way, and without running out of fuel or oxygen.  Full version includes 30 roads in 10 areas.</p>

<p>The evil Count Chuck has kidnapped all the world's animals in order to turn them into soldiers in his dark army. Johnny Dash's dog, Tex, has been captured along with the other animals, and it's up to him to enter the Night World and save him!</p>
<p>You use a slingshot to combat the ghastly enemies, which include skeletons, zombies, and severed hands. You can collect power-ups to increase your slingshot's power (only for a limited number of shots, however), candy for bonus points, hearts for health, and Johnny-shaped voodoo dolls for extra lives.</p>
<p>On each level, you must find all the animals in cages and shoot the lock on their cages, freeing them. Only then will the exit to the next level open. At the end of each of the three episodes, a boss awaits.</p>

<p><em>Duke Nukem II</em> is a platform game and a sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Duke+Nukem">Duke Nukem</a>. While giving an interview on TV, the famous muscular hero Duke Nukem is captured by the evil Rigelatins, who intend to use his brain for conquering Earth. Duke easily escapes his prison cell. </p>
<p>Now he has to make his way through four episodes, each one consisting of an assortment of levels with varying graphic design. On his way, Duke has to destroy lots of obstacles and enemies - both Rigelatin forces and apparent local wildlife. Initially, Duke has just a weak laser rifle, but he can also find a flamethrower (which allows him to shoot down to launch himself in the air), a rocket launcher or a far more powerful laser cannon. These stronger weapons, however, have limited ammo. </p>
<p>There are also lots of items to collect: health items such as soda cans or atom power-ups, Duke Nukem merchandise which gives score, keys and access cards that let him pass through locked door or electrical barriers. Duke can also find a rapid fire power-up which lets him shoot faster, a cloaking device which allows him to go through forcefields, and a globe which will give the player a hint when brought to a special pedestal. A lot of items are hidden in boxes of various colors which have to be opened by shooting. Beware, as some boxes do not contain items, but rather a harmful bomb! </p>
<p>On some levels, Duke can find a small spaceship. He can enter it and fly around the level, using the ship's powerful cannon to mow down everything in his way. However, the ship won't fit everywhere, so Duke will have to get out of it eventually.</p>

<p><em>Sorcerian</em> is the fifth game in the <a href="/search/?q=Dragon+Slayer">Dragon Slayer series</a>. It is set in the fantasy land known as Pentawa, whose inhabitants are in constant need of protection from ferocious creatures roaming the wilderness. The king of Pentawa hires a party of adventurers, and their first assignment is to retrieve a precious sceptre from a dungeon, where it is guarded by the evil demonic lord Ouks.</p>
<p>The game is an RPG with an unusual side-scrolling perspective and action-based combat, somewhat of a cross between <a href="/search/?q=Wizardry"> Wizardry</a> and platform games. Despite being a Japanese game, <em>Sorcerian</em> resembles Western RPGs of its time, focusing more on character development than story. In the beginning, the player creates a party of four characters, choosing between fighter, wizard, elf, and dwarf (races and classes are not distinguished). Beside the usual inns and shops, there are many things that can be done in the towns of the game, including complex development of magical spells (up to 120 spells of different disciplines), training to raise personal skills (strength, intelligence, etc.), enchanting weapons with elemental magic, as well as looking for part-time jobs.</p>
<p>The view switches to side-scrolling when the party ventures into a hostile area. Combat is performed in real time, with the player controlling the entire party at once. The lead character can be changed at any time, and battle actions will be carried out by whoever is in front. Melee attacks and magic spells are unleashed by pressing corresponding buttons. The characters can also jump and interact with objects by bumping into them. Dungeons are usually maze-like, and some contain simple puzzles such as finding and activating hidden switches to open doors.</p>

<p><em>Wizard's Crown</em> is a fantasy role-playing game in which the player creates a party of up to eight adventurers and takes them on a quest to retrieve a magical crown from a wizard named Tarmon, who sealed himself and the crown in his laboratory five hundred years ago.</p>
<p>The game features tactical battles, during which the player navigates the party members in turns over the battlefield. Different weapons demonstrate unique characteristics; for example, spears can attack two squares away, flails ignore the enemy's shields, and axes have a chance of breaking them completely. Shields are used to defend against frontal attacks and those coming from whatever side the shield is equipped on. The player can opt to skip these details and have the battle proceed automatically.</p>
<p>Experience gained by characters is spent on skills, attributes and life points. Unlike in most comparable games, classes and their unique abilities are not assigned to the characters, but must instead be "bought" by using intelligence points. The classes are Thief, Ranger, Fighter, Priest and Sorcerer; any of those can be combined with another one for a single character.</p>
<p>Weapons can be imbued with various enhancements. Magical weapons inflict elemental damage (called "injuries" in the game); "Plus" weapons cause extra bleeding, which may affect the character's health, making him faint; "Life Blast" weapons can kill a character in such a way that he cannot be resurrected afterwards.</p>

<p>SkyNET is Bethesda's last game based on the Terminator franchise. Originally developed as an expansion pack to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2239/the-terminator-future-shock/">Terminator: Future Shock</a>, SkyNET eventually became its own standalone product. Its major features are an updated version of the Xngine allowing for play in the sharper 640x480 resolution (and the ability to update Future Shock to the same), a new single-player campaign, and a new multiplayer deathmatch component.</p>
<p>In the single-player game, you must stop the machines from launching a recovered nuclear weapon. The story takes place over seven missions broken into various sections and "levels," with night progressing into daylight as the game goes on. The locations are also more varied and interactive than those featured in the first game, with levels like the basement of the Cyberdyne building, and a sinking nuclear submarine. Driving and flying levels return from Future Shock, as do the mission briefings, which are now handled entirely in FMV. The game seems to act as a prequel to Future Shock, with the most advanced technology and player weapons from that game not appearing in the course of the single-player missions in SkyNET.</p>
<p>The multiplayer game allows for eight players over a LAN and two over IPX. The levels are contained recreations of sections or ideas in the single-player game, like a block of cityscape, a shattered freeway, or an open valley, and many can be played at either dawn or dusk. Vehicles are available in most levels, and unlike in single-player, can be entered and exited freely. You also have the option to play as a Terminator, with reduced movement speed, a little more toughness, and the classic red-tinted vision with information overlays.</p>

<p>The protagonist of the game sees a strange dream: a black jaguar appears and introduces himself as a servant of the Inca king. He explains that the Inca people are dying of malaria and endangered by the European explorers. The jaguar is willing to transfer the hero to the past, where he/she will have to look for the cinchona plant and deliver it to the Inca king.</p>
<p>Part of the <em>Trail</em> series of educational games, <em>The Amazon Trail</em> features a gameplay system similar to the other installments, with adventure and simulation elements. The player will have to choose travel guides, make travel plans, manage supplies, navigate a boat on the Amazon river, encounter many indigenous animal species, take pictures, and catch fish in order to survive the hazards of the journey. At certain points in the game, time-traveling is also available, and the player is able to meet historical characters. Upon the completion of the main quest, players are graded according to their gameplay style, taking into account personal activities, number of animals identified, additional gifts brought to the Inca king, etc.</p>

<p><em>World War II GI</em> is a first-person shooter that takes players back to D-Day and the Normandy invasion. The player takes control of a G.I. ("galvanized iron", referring to a soldier in the US military), sent in to wipe out scores of Wehrmacht and SS soldiers. Missions take the player through the D-Day beach landings, assaults on equipment depots, and other set pieces. This game is based on the <em>Build</em> engine, with 3D environments and 2D character sprites. It shares many gameplay elements with <a href="/search/?q=NAM">NAM</a>, created by the same developers.</p>

<p>There are actually four major versions of the game available: UK full game, US full game, UK short game, and US short game. The short games have an added rule to make the game go faster. In the UK short game, players can try to complete an assigned mission to win. In the US short game, players try to occupy enemy HQs. In addition to rule differences between the UK and US game, there are different graphics used for the cards.</p>

But Odin has a son - Thor, the god of thunder. Using his powerful hammer Mjolnir, Thor must travel to Midgard, face Loki and his assistants, and reclaim the land for his father.</p>
<p><em>God of Thunder</em> is an action game with strong elements of puzzle-solving. Thor explores Midgard, fighting enemies in action-based combat, using his hammer or lightning attacks. Many hazards are there to make the hero's life difficult, and the player must solve puzzles to protect Thor and advance the story.

<p>The time for resurrecting historical events has come. <em>Panzer General</em> was one of the first games (if not the first) that actually gave you the ability to play for the Nazis, and yet succeed where Hitler failed. Having total and complete control over land, sea, and air units, you must defeat the Allied dogs as fast as you can (to get a major victory), or slower than in history (to get a minor victory).</p>
<p>The game's quality lies in the number of units. There are basically hundreds of Axis and Allied units from World War II, accompanied with "circled" animations and battle sounds, as well as marching or moving sounds. The Main menu is always located on the right side of the screen, with plenty of options and selections you can change to suit your preferences.</p>
<p>A turn-based hexagon strategy game that will actually go faster if you have a faster computer, but will always be playable (speed doesn't go up to infinity). The first and original Panzer General, this installment would be followed by sequels and many other games in the series using the "General" name.</p>

<p>Hugo's sweetheart Penelope has vanished after visiting a haunted house on a babysitting job. In order to save her, Hugo must explore the area around, within, and beneath the house and solve its mysteries, while surviving its many perils.</p>
<p><em>Hugo's House of Horrors</em> is a graphic adventure game, controlled with a combination of the arrow keys for movement, and typed commands such as eat steak to interact with the environment. Some challenges are puzzles which must be solved by clever use of items found in the house, while others require quick and careful movement, or test the player's knowledge.</p>
<p>This game is the first game in the <a href="/search/?q=Hugo's+House+of+Horrors">Hugo's House of Horrors</a> shareware trilogy. This full game was released as a taster for the full trilogy which includes this game plus the titles <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1158/hugo-ii-whodunit/">Hugo's Mystery Adventure</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4962/hugo-iii-jungle-of-doom/">Hugo's Amazon Adventure</a>, a hint book and an automatic solver which plays the game like a movie.</p>

<p><em>The Magic Candle</em> is best described as an <a href="/search/?q=Ultima">Ultima</a> clone. Its a top-down party-driven RPG.</p>
<p>The plot revolves around you (Lukas) and your party of intrepid adventurers, whose task it is to seal the demon Dreax within the Magic Candle (which is burning down, and when it does, he gets released).</p>
<p>The game has 3 difficulty levels (changing the number of 'days' you get to complete the game in.) A lot of travelling, dungeon-crawling, town-exploring, and especially, lots of conversing with NPCs.</p>

<p>By the year 2090 AD, the usage of time machines (also known as "interkrons") became restricted. Temporal Corps strictly forbade traveling to the past due to potential unforeseen consequences of the traveler's actions. However, Zeke S. Vettenmyer, a Lieutenant in the Temporal Corps, has illegally acquired an interkron, traveled to various time periods and altered well-known historical events. As a result, the temporal disruption caused by his actions is threatening to destroy reality as we known it. A Temporal Corps private is sent to the past in an attempt to pursue Vettenmyer and reverse the changes he made to the world's history.</p>
<p><em>Timequest</em> is a text adventure with graphics utilizing the same interface as Legend's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1027/spellcasting-101-sorcerers-get-all-the-girls/">first</a> game: it provides a long list of verbs to interact with still first-person screens displaying locations and people, but also allows and encourages typing commands for the same purpose. The player travels to six geographical locations within nine different time periods from 1361 BC to 1940 AD. It is possible to access any location at any time as the game begins. The player can opt to work on one location continuously, but often it is necessary to acquire items from different areas to solve puzzles.</p>
<p>The famous events Vettenmyer has tampered with include the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC, the attempted overthrow of the Caliph of Baghdad in 800 AD, Genghis Khan's siege of Peking in 1215, Napoleon's attack on Egypt in 1798, etc. Among the illustrious people the player encounters are baby Moses, Pope Leo I, William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, and others.</p>

<p>Ernie Eaglebeak is a young lad living with his cruel stepfather Joey Rottenwood, who keeps him locked up in the attic. Ernie is secretly in love with his neighbor Lola Tigerbelly, a young woman definitely out of his league. Things take a turn for the better when Ernie gets accepted as a freshman by the Sorcerer University, a prestigious school of magic. At first Ernie is fascinated by college life and meets a few attractive women as well. However, when the magical Sorcerer's Appliance gets stolen, Ernie is sent on a dangerous mission to recover that powerful device. Armed with his spellbook and a magical surfboard, Ernie must cross the Fizzbuttle Ocean and travel to various islands searching for clues.</p>
<p><em>Spellcasting 101</em> is the first game created by Legend Entertainment, heralding their hybrid graphical and text adventure format. Continuing <a href="/search/?q=Infocom">Infocom's</a> tradition of humorous text adventures, the game can be played in text-only mode. However, graphical depictions of locations can be activated as well, and the game gives the player the opportunity to combine verbs from a list with on-screen objects in an almost point-and-click fashion. The game contains many puzzles following a peculiar sense of logic; it is also possible to get irrevocably stuck and die. </p>
<p>Magic spells (including such exotic ones as increasing a person's bust size) can be learned and then used in appropriate situations to solve puzzles. The player's actions advance the game's internal clock, and some of the tasks are based on being in the right place at the right time. The islands are tackled as separate scenarios and are self-sufficient gameplay-wise. The game contains many puns and jokes, some of them college-oriented (e.g. Tappa Kegga Bru or I Phelta Thi fraternities). It is possible to activate the "Naughty Mode", which shows the game's female characters semi-naked in some scenes, and also makes the corresponding text descriptions explicitly erotic.</p>

<p>It's spring break time for the students of the Sorcerer University! Ernie Eaglebeak and his friends from the Hu Delta Phart fraternity load their flying carpet with booze and sun lotion, and head to a beach resort. However, there they encounter students from a rival college, more specifically the Getta Lodda Yu fraternity. These young men are noticeably more muscular than the nerdy SU alumni and do not want them in their path to amorous conquests. When a mysterious beautiful woman appears on the beach, the two groups initiate a contest - and at first it seems that Ernie and his friends stand no chance in disciplines such as body surfing, bullfighting, and throwing wild parties.</p>
<p><em>Spellcasting 301</em> is similar in gameplay to its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1083/spellcasting-201-the-sorcerers-appliance/">predecessor</a>. It introduces VGA graphics, continuous music tracks, and a slight changes to the interface. Like before, most puzzles rely on clever usage of spells. Spellcasting levels can be raised by running errands for the local sorcerer guild. In-game time advances with each action performed by the player, sometimes necessitating scheduling for various activities. The game has somewhat more explicit sexual scenes if the player activates its Naughty Mode.</p>

<p><em>Corruption</em> is one of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/50/magnetic-scrolls/">Magnetic Scrolls'</a> interactive fiction games. The player takes control of a stockbroker on the fast track to riches. Suddenly, there are attempts on his life, with the words 'insider dealings' floating around. The hero is framed for a crime he didn't commit and must prove his innocence before it is too late.</p>
<p>The game is a text adventure with graphics; the player inputs verb commands to interact with the environment and advance the story. The gameplay focuses on realistic investigation and information-gathering rather than puzzle-solving.</p>

<p><em>Alien Syndrome</em> is a scrolling shooter. </p>
<p>Your job is to run around and rescue all the captives and make it to the escape hatch before the time bomb explodes. Then face the mother alien at the end of the level.</p>

<p><em>The Keys to Maramon</em> is set in the same world as <a href="/search/?q=Magic+Candle">Magic Candle</a>, and uses a modified engine from said game.</p>
<p>This is a single player RPG more aimed at novice players. Your job is to clear out all the monsters infesting the cellars, dungeons and dark corners of Maramon.</p>

<p>Part of the <a href="/search/?q=Magic+Candle">Magic Candle</a> series, this is much like the first game in the series, only with an enhanced VGA engine.</p>
<p>Choose your party of adventurers and roam the land to discover the secret of the Four and Forty.</p>

<p>The evil magician Drax is terrorizing the jeweled city and cast a spell over the beautiful princess Marina who is forced to obey him. From the lands to the north, a hero is sent to help the city and free the princess. He is Gorth, the strongest of the barbarian warriors. With his sword in hand, he has to beat eight of Drax's best warriors and at last the magician himself. He will fight them in the woods, on the mountaintop, in the dungeon... finally reaching Drax's palace itself.</p>
<p>This is essentially a one- or two-player fighting game where you control a big barbarian and fight another player or a computer AI.  There are several kinds of hits, and some hits take off half a point while others take off a whole point. Each player has six of these "power points". They also have a special hard to perform "death sword" which decapitates your opponent, killing him with one fell swoop.</p>

<p>Mission pack for <a href="/search/?q=Their+Finest+Hour">Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain </a>. Includes 23 new missions, and one experienced pilot for each of the planes in the game.</p>

<p><em>BloodNet</em> is an adventure game with RPG elements.</p>
<p>You play as Ransom Stark, a computer hacker, scrounger or mercenary (depending on how the player answers the opening questions when they start a new game) who finds himself caught up in a sinister affair involving an evil global megacorporation, TransTechnicals, Manhattan, a fight for Cyberspace and vampires!</p>
<p>Ransom Stark became stricken with Hopkins-Brie Ontology Syndrome whilst working at TransTechnicals, due to his forced extended exposure to Cyberspace while he worked there. As soon as he was diagnosed he was dismissed from TransTech and found himself homeless and hopeless. Thankfully an ingenious woman, with a personal vendetta against TransTech, named Deirdre Tackett saved his life by inserting a prototype brain implant of her own design and this restoring his grip on reality.</p>
<p>Over the following year Ransom became known as a reliable freelance until one day he got a job worth much more than he bargained for! His employers turned out to be vampires and as part of his 'payment', Ransom was turned into a follower of the evil head-vampire, Abraham Van Helsing -- except his brain implant kicked in allowing him to keep temporary control of his humanity.</p>
<p>Now Ransom must put a stop to Van Helsing's plans to take over Manhattan and control Cyberspace and hopefully save himself from being a vampire before its too late!</p>

<p>The land of Metavira needs your help! Contract additional mercenaries as you explore, capture, and hold new territories so the natives can harvest the valuable trees from which a revolutionary medicine can be extracted. The more trees you hold, the more money you make. The more money you have, the more you can do, such as hire native guards, hire more mercs, in order to take the offense and clear the sector of enemies. You will also need to retrieve certain objects from behind enemy lines, rescue captured personnel, capture equipment, and more. Hire a good mechanic in order to get your equipment and guns repaired, and to "enhance" them with various add-ons. Travel through lush jungles, treacherous rivers (with venomous snakes!), and more as you seek to free Metavira. Eventually, you'll meet up with the bad guys' leader in his compound for the final showdown...</p>
<p><em>Jagged Alliance</em> is a turn-based tactical combat game with a mixture of strategy, reminiscent of <a href="/search/?q=X-Com">X-Com</a> games. On the "strategic view", you get to see the various sectors of Metavira. You start with just one sector, with a few trees for your income. You need to hold more sectors in order to increase the number of trees you hold, which will increase your income. You can hire or fire mercs. </p>
<p>Each merc can move, shoot or perform any of the other actions as long as they still have action points. Each of the mercenaries have their own personality. Some work well with others, others don't. You'll need shooters (both long and short guns), explosive experts (to set or disarm bombs/traps), mechanics/gunsmiths (to fix and modify your equipment), and doctors/nurses (to heal wounded mercs). Each merc has a different price, so you'll need to balance what you can afford vs. what you need. You will have to manage the equipment as well. </p>
<p>If you move into an enemy-held sector, the game moves to combat mode, where you get an overhead slightly-isometric turn-based tactical combat that's based on "action points", which limits the number of actions each merc can perform. You can do this, or that, but not both. The action continues until the sector is no longer contested (either one side got wiped out, or retreated to another sector, or both). </p>
<p>After the sector is clear, you can call in native guards to "hold" the sector (you need to pay for them as well) as well as hire more natives to process the "new" trees. You will also need to get the mercs to the homebase if any one was wounded, and let the doctor/nurse treat them. Idle mercs at the base can train to improve their ratings. Some scripted events and some random events will keep you busy such as poisoned water, a virus that attacks the trees, the kidnapped daughter of a chief, and others. </p>
<p>So to summarize, you need to manage the mercs (and their salary), their equipment (who gets what), arrange for backup (mercs at base) and medical treatment (doctor/nurse) while taking into account their personalities and strengths. You also need to manage the strategic aspects as you need to "conquer" each sector and then send enough guards to hold the sector after you retrieve the mercs. You manage the money as you need to balance the expenditures (mercs, equipment, guards, natives, etc.) against the income (the trees). You also get to manage the tactical aspects of the battle as you decide each move and shot. A full complement of mercenary supplies (from revolvers to M-16s, plus bombs, grenades, mines, flak jackets, helmets, and more) are available.</p>

<p><em>Hexxagon</em> is a board game based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/69188/ataxx/">Ataxx</a>, except with a hexagon grid instead of a square grid. It takes place on a board made up of hexes, 58 in total, and each player starts with three pawns. You can move a pawn two hexes in any direction, or clone a pawn onto an adjacent hex. Every opponent's pawn adjacent to the pawn you just placed becomes yours. The winner is the player who has the most pawns once the board is filled up, or the player who eliminates all of the opponent's pawns, in which case the game fills the board with their pawns automatically.</p>

<p><em>Zone Raiders</em> is a futuristic hovercar racing combat game set in a 3D environment. The protagonist is a freelance Raider who ventures into the dangerous Free Zone, where rare and expensive items can be scavenged. Getting those items, however, won't be easy: other raiders are headed towards the Zone with the same intention, and the hero must race them, using all means to get there first. The futuristic cars resemble those that were used in the 20th century, with an important difference: they are equipped with hover plates and heavy weaponry. The protagonist should search for new weapons, shield regenerators and jet packs, as he races and sabotages opponent cars.</p>
<p>The game features sixteen different tracks, five selectable hovercars (one of them hidden), and eight usable weapons. Multiplayer can be accessed through IPX Network, two-player modem, or serial support, and can accommodate up to eight players.</p>

<p>His girlfriend had always had great expectations and one day, by an incredible chance an apple which has fallen right down our caveman's head creates a thought of an aircraft that he can use to earn money. So he makes the machine and uses it for the transport--for picking the other cave friends up and dropping them to their desired destinations. </p>
<p><em>Ugh!</em> is an action game where you must complete 69 levels, riding inside a pedal-powered helicopter to pick up passengers and carry them to their destinations. Each level is made of a series of platforms, with several cave entrances. Cavemen walk out of the caves and loudly announce where they want to go. You have to land your helicopter taxi next to the passenger and wait until he crawls inside (if you land on him, he'll fall into the water at the bottom of the level, although he can still be rescued) and then fly to the cave that he wants to get to. Controlling the vehicle is a bit complicated - you cannot directly fly up or down; instead, you have to keep pedalling to fly up, and cease pedalling when you want to go downwards. Bumping into a wall too hard will cause a game over and force you to restart the level. There is also a time limit for each level. To finish a level, you have to serve a number of customers. </p>
<p>There are some dinosaur adversaries on certain levels - a pterodactyl which appears unexpectedly and flies across the screen, and a triceratops which becomes agitated when you land near and charges at your taxi. </p>
<p>As you pedal, you exert energy. To refill your energy so that you can keep pedalling, you can pick up a rock and toss it at a tree, making a fruit drop down. Eat the fruit to get more energy.</p>

<p>You control a squad of high-tech tanks and you have to destroy the enemy squad.
The tanks can move quickly, make sharp turns or fire in all the directions.</p>
<p>The graphics in 3D are very well done for a 1990 game.
Even if the game has a rather simplistic plot it can get quickly very addictive.</p>

<p>A complex game in which you can create your own ecosystems, animals or vegetables, then watch them eat, evolve, mate, or die.</p>
<p>Feel free to create funky animals! How about a giant snail that would have to eat several trees each day to survive - or a small kangaroo that would lay eggs and eat only bugs?
You can even edit their DNA code, and make your animals mutate.</p>

<p>Bob Morlock is an interstellar businessman who also happens to be the oldest living being in the world. Feeling that his time to depart has finally come, Morlock wishes to go back in time to the very beginning, in order to witness the Big Bang and the creation of the universe. His company Kanary has a clone-constructing department, which promptly produces the fearless Clone Consortium Commander Blood, who must navigate his ultra-modern ship, the Ark, in order to fulfill the wishes of the eccentric boss.</p>
<p><em>Commander Blood</em> is a follow-up to <a href="/search/?q=Captain+Blood">Captain Blood</a>. 
Like its predecessor, it is an open-ended, space- (and time-) travelling adventure game that relies on complex communication system with the various creatures inhabiting the universe. The game utilizes pre-rendered scenes and animated sequences, as well as animation technique involving live action puppeteering in front of a chroma key screen.</p>

<p>Sequel to Argo's original and widely known <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Hexxagon">Hexxagon</a>, Hexxagon 2 adds improved graphics, better AI and somewhat better board configuration options while keeping the same fundamental gameplay.</p>

<p><em>MegaRace 2</em> is a 3d racing game with detailed graphics. You can choose between 14 armored cars loaded with weapons of mass destruction, and race on 6 different tracks.</p>
<p>Only the cars are rendered in real-time 3d, while the tracks are actually pre-rendered. This allows the player to have very detailed cars and tracks, but limits the interaction with the scenery.</p>
<p>The game also features a TV Show in full motion video between the races.</p>

<p>This is an side-scrolling beat-'em-up game consisting of a succession of fights, in which you (surprisingly) play a ninja whose job is to go through the playfield and kill everyone in his path. You are also equipped with a dagger and a shuriken which you can hurl at your enemies.</p>
<p>You must also collect "idols" which are left lying around), which will reinvigorate you, as well as grant you further points. Once you collect all of the idols, you will have won the game.</p>

<p><em>Lost Eden</em> is an adventure game set on an eerie planet populated with dinosaurs.</p>
<p>Your civilisation is menaced. Armies of Tyranns, led by Moorkus Rex, are gathering around your kingdom. Soon they will swarm in, destroy everything and kill your people. However, there is a single hope. There are legends telling that several hundreds of years ago, men and dinosaurs cooperated to build 5 mighty Citadels that were almost invulnerable to the Tyranns. Today, all the Citadels but one have been destroyed.</p>
<p>You play as Adam of Mo, you must rediscover the secret of uniting men and dinosaurs, rebuild the Citadels, and finally defeat Morkus Rex and his armies.</p>
<p><em>Lost Eden</em> is a first-person adventure that utilizes <a href="/search/?q=Myst"> Myst</a>-style navigation through pre-rendered backgrounds that represent locations. However, the gameplay is less heavy on environment-manipulating puzzle-solving than <em>Myst</em>, having more in common with traditional adventure games with their inventory-based puzzles.</p>

<p>If anyone remembers the top-down shooters Loaded or Chaos Engine, Cyberdogs is the same basic gameplay. You must choose your character and his weapons that you will fight with. In your mission you must destroy the enemy and retrieve the lost items.</p>

<p>In <em>Megatron VGA</em> the player sits in the cockpit of a large walking tank, similar to those from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/10/battletech-universe/">FASA's BattleTech universe</a>.</p>
<p>The player can walk around in a first person perspective through maze-like environments similar in technical presentation to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/835/eye-of-the-beholder/">Eye of the Beholder</a> (the player can only walk in fixed steps of a single 3D tile). Controlling multiple different weapons the player must destroy enemy mechs before they try the same. Separate shields on the front and back of the mech must protect players from getting destroyed instantly.</p>
<p>The player can choose between different mechs and multiple difficulty levels. A map of the level is shown at the bottom of the screen at all times, but the player can only detect the enemy when he's in radar range.</p>

<p>An archaeologist named Malvineous Havershim was studying strange ruins in Madagascar, remnants of buildings constructed during the age of a long-forgotten civilization of the mysterious Blue Builders. One day Malvineous spotted glyphs on one of the structures. As he attempted to translate them, Malvineous was hit by a wave of gas and fainted. In his dream, a talking eagle named Silvertongue tried to warn him of upcoming dangers. The archaeologist awoke in a strange and hostile world, unable to understand anything. With Silvertongue's guidance, Malvineous will have to overcome all dangers and eventually confront Xargon, the tyrannical ruler of that world.</p>
<p><em>Xargon</em> is a 2D side-scrolling action platformer. Malvineous is initially equipped with a basic laser gun, which can be upgraded by collecting power-ups or buying upgrades in a store. These include extra laser bullets, rapid-fire mode, limited-ammo fireballs, and others. The gun can be controlled by pressing up or down arrow keys, making it slightly advance upwards or downwards. The store can be accessed at any time, provided the player has collected a sufficient amount of emeralds, which act as currency. Health units, invincibility power-ups, and weapon upgrades can be purchased.</p>
<p>This game entry refers to the registered version of the game with its three episodes:* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/59387/xargon-the-mystery-of-the-blue-builders-beyond-reality/">Xargon: The Mystery of the Blue Builders - Beyond Reality</a></p>

</ul>
<p>The first episode was available as shareware with the option to register for the other two, but in the US all three were also released separately and commercially by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/2911/bn-companies-inc/">B&amp;N Companies, Inc.</a> In 2008 the entire game was made available as freeware.</p>

<p>Abe is a Mudokon, a member of a once prosperous race which has now been enslaved by the Glukkons, forced to work in their huge corporations. The food factories have found a new type of meat, delicious to all the inhabitants, though no one knows the recipe. Following his stomach, Abe eavesdrops on the corporate leaders' conversation and makes the most frightening and disgusting discovery: his own race is that secret delicious food. </p>
<p>Alas, Abe has been spotted, and the guards are marching towards him. He must escape, but he can't leave his friends to the mercy of the Glukkons and their henchmen. He must rescue as many as he can, and tell the world the truth about what he has found out.</p>
<p><em>Abe's Oddysee</em> is the first game set in the fictional Oddworld universe. It is a platformer with puzzle-solving elements, focusing on the portrayal of a weak, underpowered character in a grim and hostile world, who has to rely on his cunning to outwit enemies and overcome hazards. Abe is almost completely helpless: he cannot use weapons and is usually instantly killed by his brutal enemies if he confronts them directly. For this reason, most of the game involves careful exploration, timed movement, sneaking, and outsmarting the foes through various means: throwing stones to confuse them, luring them into traps, etc. Abe can run, jump, climb, tiptoe, crouch, and roll; in most areas, these actions are essential to his survival. A few stages involve Abe riding a large animal known as Elum.</p>
<p>Abe's only special power is chanting, which he can use to stun certain enemies for a while or possess them. When Abe possesses an enemy he gains his abilities: for example, possessing the body or a ferocious Slig allows the player to shoot from his machine gun, communicate with other creatures of his kind, and even commit suicide, clearing the way for Abe. </p>
<p>Chanting is also used to open "bird portals", which is the final action needed to bring a fellow Mudokon to safety. Before that, Abe needs to locate his enslaved friends and lead them out of the hostile environment by using a communication method called "Gamespeak". Gamespeak is a way of verbal communication through simple commands, which are assigned to various expressions, such as "Hello", "Follow me", "Wait here", etc. It can also be used to memorize passwords given to Abe by other Mudokons in a few areas. Many areas in which Abe can save Mudokons are hidden and not required to complete the game. However, the ending of the game differs depending on the number of Mudokons saved by the player. </p>
<p>The game has pre-rendered background graphics and uses CG movies of similar style to advance the story between the levels.</p>

<p>Bomberman clone. Gameplay is exactly the same and even the graphic style seems very similar to Bomberman.</p>

<p>Brix is a near exact clone of the Taito game <a href="/search/?q=Puzznic">Puzznic</a>. You are presented with an array of pieces, which you can move horizontally, and when two or more of the same type touch, they disappear. The goal is to do that to every brick of the same geometrical shape painted on it, and fast, 'cuz time is running out quickly. When you have an odd number of a particular piece, 3 of them must be removed by ensuring that they make simultaneous contact.</p>

<p><em>Capture the Flag</em> is a strategy game, where two teams try to capture the other's flag before the other team captures theirs. The game takes place on a large field, with various types of terrain. You control one of the teams; the other team can be either controlled by the computer, or by another human player. </p>
<p>The game is turn-based. During each turn, you can move each of your characters. Each of them has a limited number of movement points, so you can only move them up to a limited distance. Note that you move slower or faster (use more or less movement points) depending on the terrain you're moving through.</p>
<p>The playfield is divided into two sides, one for each team. Initially, you know what's on your side of the field, but the opponent's side of the field is shrouded in darkness. By exploring the opponent's terrain, you can uncover the terrain there (and hopefully find out where his flag is). </p>
<p>If you spot the opponent's flag, capture it by moving one of your characters onto it. However, if the opponent's character notices you snooping on his side of the field and catches up with you, your character will be sent to "prison" (which means that he's out of the game). Of course, you can do the same to his men that you find on your side of the field. Note, however, that if your opponent finds your "prison", he can free all his captured men. </p>
<p>Trying to avoid notice by your opponents is a quite important factor. You can choose various modes of movement: when you run, you are fast, but more visible; if you're crawling, you're hard to see, but very slow (moving costs you more movement points). And vice versa - you don't always know where your opponent's men are, although you know where did you see them last.</p>

<p>A translation of traditional Chinese Checkers.</p>
<p>If you ever played "Argo Checkers" or "Hexxagon", do not dare to enter into this confusing realm of checkers. First of all, you have twice more checkers, and there can be up to six players, which is more than enough to mess up your life.</p>

<p>A translation of classic checkers.  You jump over the opponent's buttons, and the last one standing wins. This game doesn't possess the option of playing against the computer, only player vs. player (unless you register to get the full version).</p>

<p><em>Tongue of the Fatman</em> is an eclectic fighting game. Choose from different alien races (including Human) with different abilities and fighting styles, purchase weapons and devices, and fight your way through multiple opponents to face the Fatman. Some of the features include being able to place wagers on the outcome of the fight, and the phenomenon of a special move being less powerful the more you use it to balance gameplay. Two-player, head-to-head combat is supported.</p>

<p>The Union Aerospace Corporation has been experimenting with teleportation technology on Mars' moons Phobos and Deimos. After early successes, something goes wrong. It seems the scientists have opened a gateway straight to Hell. Phobos base is overrun with demonic creatures, and the whole of Deimos simply vanishes. A squad of marines is sent to Phobos, but all except one are quickly slaughtered. It falls to the surviving marine to grab some guns and strike back at the demons.</p>
<p>id Software's follow-up to their genre-defining <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a>, <em>Doom</em> is another first-person 3D shooter: full-on action as seen from the space marine's perspective. Like Wolfenstein, the game consists of distinct episodes, playable in any order. The first episode, <em>Knee-Deep in the Dead</em>, takes place in the Phobos base and is freely available as shareware. The full game continues on Deimos in <em>The Shores of Hell</em> and culminates in <em>Inferno</em>, the final episode which takes place in Hell itself (the Sega 32x version lacks this episode).</p>
<p>The basic objective in each level is simply to reach the exit. Since dozens of enemies stand in the way, the only way to get there is by killing them. Switches and buttons must be pressed to advance at certain points and often color-coded locked doors will block the way - matching keycards or skull keys must be found to pass.</p>
<p>The game's engine technology is more advanced than Wolfenstein's, and thus the levels are more varied and complex. The engine simulates different heights (stairs and lifts appear frequently) and different lighting conditions (some rooms are pitch black, others only barely illuminated). There are outdoor areas, pools of radioactive waste that hurt the player, ceilings that come down and crush him, and unlike Wolfenstein's orthogonally aligned corridors, the walls in <em>Doom</em> can be in any angle to each other. An automap helps in navigating the levels.</p>
<p>Stylistically, the levels begin with a futuristic theme in the military base on Phobos and gradually change to a hellish environment, complete with satanic symbols (pentagrams, upside-down-crosses, and portraits of horned demons), hung-up mutilated corpses, and the distorted faces of the damned.</p>
<p><em>Doom</em> features a large weapon arsenal, with most weapons having both advantages and drawbacks. The starting weapons are the fists and a simple pistol. Also available are a shotgun (high damage, slow reload, not good at distances), a chaingun (high firing rate, but slightly inaccurate in longer bursts), and a plasma rifle (combining a high firing rate and large damage). The rocket launcher also deals out lots of damage, but the explosion causes blast damage and must be used with care in confined areas or it might prove deadly to the player as well as the enemies. Two further weapons in the game are the chainsaw for close-quarter carnage, and the BFG9000 energy gun, which while taking some practice to fire correctly, can destroy most enemies in a single burst. The different weapons use four different ammunition types (bullets, shells, rockets, and energy cells), so collecting the right type for a certain gun is important.</p>
<p>The game drops some of Wolfenstein's arcade-inspired aspects, so there are no extra lives or treasures to be collected for points, but many other power-ups are still available. Medpacks heal damage while armor protects from receiving it in the first place. Backpacks allow more ammunition to be carried, a computer map reveals the whole layout of the level on the automap (including any secret areas), light amplification visors illuminate dark areas and radiation suits allow travel over waste without taking damage. Also available are berserk packs (which radically increase the damage inflicted by the fists) as well as short-time invisibility and invulnerability power-ups.</p>
<p>The enemies to be destroyed include former humans corrupted during the invasion, plus demons in all shapes and sizes: fireball-throwing imps, floating skulls, pink-skinned demons with powerful bite attacks, and large one-eyed flying monstrosities called Cacodemons. Each episode ends with a boss battle against one or two, particularly powerful creatures.</p>
<p><em>Doom</em> popularized multiplayer in the genre with two different modes: Cooperative allows players to move through the single-player game together, while Deathmatch is a competitive game type where players blast at each other to collect 'frag' points for a kill and re-spawn in a random location after being killed.</p>
<p>The 3DO and Sega32x ports lack any multiplayer modes, though the other ports retain the DOS versions multiplayer to varying degrees. The various console ports all feature simplified levels and omit some levels, enemies, and features from the original DOS release. The SNES and Gameboy Advance versions of the game actually use different engines and hence feature numerous small gameplay differences.</p>

<p><em>Déjà Vu: A Nightmare Comes True!!</em> is the first game made by <a href="/search/?q=ICOM">ICOM</a>, known for its adventure games such as <a href="/search/?q=Shadowgate">Shadowgate</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Uninvited">Uninvited</a>. It featured mouse support, a multi-window interface, and bitmapped graphics at a time when text-based interactive fiction was the norm. </p>
<p>In <em>Deja Vu</em>, action takes place in Chicago in December 1941. Your character's name is Theodore "Ace" Harding - a retired boxer working as a private eye. He wakes up in a toilet stall of a sleazy pub with no memory of who he is or what he is doing there. To make matters worse, you as him soon stumble upon a very dead corpse upstairs with three bullets buried in him. Sure enough, you find there's a gun in your pocket with three bullets missing. From there you have to figure out what happened and who you are before whatever is happening to your brain turns you into a mindless vegetable. To make matters worse the cops would very much like to have a word with you about that stiff.</p>

<p>Using the same graphical interface as <a href="/search/?q=Deja+Vu">Deja Vu</a>, <em>Shadowgate</em> is an adventure game set in a fantasy world. Players take the part of an adventurer sent to the ancient keep of Shadowgate on a quest to find a mystic artifact known as the Staff of Ages and stop the evil Warlock Lord from summoning a horrific demon known as the Behemoth. However, Shadowgate has become infested with the Warlock Lord's demonic minions, not to mention the castle's still functional booby-traps.</p>
<p>Unlike <em>Deja Vu</em>, death comes at the protagonist suddenly, unexpectedly and, most of all, often. Such simple acts as pulling the wrong switch or opening the wrong door can cause the hero to be skewered by a booby-trap or disemboweled by a monster. If the player character's torch burns out (this happens quite regularly) and the player forgets to light a new one, the protagonist will trip in the dark and break his neck.</p>

<p>Another game using the graphical adventure interface found in <a href="/search/?q=D%C3%A9j%C3%A0+Vu:+A+Nightmare+Comes+True">Déjà Vu</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Shadowgate">Shadowgate</a>, <em>Uninvited</em> comes with a "horror" theme.</p>
<p>While driving on a lonely road at night, a strange figure blocks your vision causing you to swerve and crash your car. When you regain consciousness, you find that your brother is missing (in the NES-Version it's your sister who is missing). The only place he could have gone is a creepy old mansion which looms in front of you. With nowhere else to go, you enter the mansion in search of your brother. It turns out the mansion once belonged to an old wizard and his apprentice, and somehow it has become infested with the Undead.</p>

<p><em>The Ford Simulator</em> is an advertisement for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1082/ford-motor-company/">Ford</a>. It presents their 1987 model line and gives you a chance to drive each one in a simulation. You can also fill out a form to get more information about each car.</p>

<p>New-age <a href="/search/?q=Galaxian">Galaxian</a>. Move along in space in your fighter and shoot anything that moves, while collecting power-ups, such as fruits (fruits in space?) and thing, which looks like red circle with yellow "T" inside. Like other games from Epic, it's shareware and only the first episode is free. You have to pay for two other episodes. This game has joystick, Sound Blaster and VGA support.</p>

<p><em>The Future Classics Collection</em> is a collection of five distinctly-themed games that stress action and strategy equally. The programmers of the games had previously worked for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/36706/cinemaware-corporation/">Cinemaware</a> and <a href="/search/?q=MicroProse">MicroProse</a>.</p>
<p>The gameplay of the five games is extremely varied:</p>
<p><strong>DiskMan</strong>: Backup your computer disks; collect as many disks as you can, avoiding all hazards along the way and inserting the disks into the disk drive to open the exit to the next level.</p>
<p><strong>Tankbattle</strong>: Work your way across a battlefield to capture the opposing coat of arms to open the exit to the next level. Avoid turrets, bombs, and other obstacles.</p>
<p><strong>Lost 'N Maze</strong>: Quickly travel through the corridors of the maze until you locate the keys to the exit. Collect various power-ups and bonus points along the way.</p>
<p><strong>Diet Riot</strong>: Put all the junk food stores out of business by having your man gather all the food crates for each store and throw them in the dumpster. Beware of junk food -- eating it slows you down and threatens you with a heart attack; you can "work out" using the exercise equipment to speed back up, as well as eating healthy food.</p>
<p><strong>Blockalanche</strong>: An isometric-view Tetris clone, with the differences of being able to select your next piece (if you're quick enough) and being only able to rotate your block around one axis.</p>
<p>The gameplay options are also quite varied: Each game can be played one player alone, two players alternately, two players simultaneously, or one player against one of three computer personalities -- including split-screen play for head-to-head competition.</p>

<p>Top-down arcade shooter. You are in a powerful car in which you must travel the roads and shoot your enemies. There are many upgrades for you to find to help make you stronger and fire more powerful shots.</p>

<p><em>Funball</em> is a checkers-like game for two players. The goal is for a player to get a ball onto the opponent's base, while stopping the opponent from doing the same. Each player controls one color of balls--either red or green.</p>
<p>Like checkers, the game board is an eight-by-eight grid. Unlike checkers's squares, though, Funball's bases don't just passively accept balls. Bases can change a ball's size, teleport it, spring it further along, cause it to slide past rather than land, or have numerous other effects--there are thirteen different types of bases. The arrangement of the different kinds of bases isn't always the same, either. When starting a new game, the player can choose from five different preset boards, or use the board editor to create a custom board.</p>
<p>Not only are there different types of bases, the balls themselves can be different sizes. The relative sizes of the balls determines the outcome of an attack, and can have other effects, depending on the target base. In addition to the balls, the board can contain a spider, which moves around the board each turn, and can lay eggs that balls can absorb to grow larger.</p>
<p>The game can be played against the computer, or against a friend in hotseat mode.</p>

<p>Having recovered the Sorcerer's Appliance in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1027/spellcasting-101-sorcerers-get-all-the-girls/">previous game</a>, Ernie Eaglebeak begins his sophomore year at the Sorcerer University. Having chosen Hu Delta Phart for his fraternity pledge, Ernie is given exceedingly difficult hazing rituals by the Pledgemaster Chris Cowpatty. Meanwhile, Ernie's wise adviser, Professor Otto Tickingclock, who became the president of SU, asks him to unveil the true secrets of the Sorcerer's Appliance.</p>
<p>Like its predecessor, <em>Spellcasting 201</em> is an interactive fiction game in which the protagonist's roster of spells will come in handy. A list of commands and objects (including spells) is on the left of the screen to be chosen from. Movement is in the eight compass directions. Ernie must make contact with the girls, and solve tricky puzzles. Nice Mode turns off the more lurid details featured in Naughty Mode. As opposed to the previous title, the entire game takes place within the vast campus grounds, allowing more freedom of movement but also increasing the difficulty.</p>

<p><em>Bomber</em> is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up where the player flies a B-29 bomber and must destroy three heavily guarded enemy bases. On each level the player must make it through enemy lines to the base which is always 200 kilometers away, the remaining distance indicated in the corner of the screen. The plane can move left and right, as well as accelerate and decelerate. The bomber is equipped with two types of weapons: a cannon to destroy aircraft, and bombs to destroy ground targets such as bunkers and tanks. A red crosshair indicates the location at which the dropped bomb will explode. The player has three lives, and a bonus life is awarded for every 10,000 points.</p>

<p>This is a totally rewritten version of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Mixed+Up+Mother+Goose">Mixed Up Mother Goose</a>, featuring enhanced MIDI soundtrack, VGA graphics, complete digitized speech along with improved animations and a few other goodies.</p>

<p><em>Archon Ultra</em> is a complete remake of <a href="/search/?q=Archon">Archon</a>. </p>
<p>The game features a completely rewritten game engine, new graphics and sound as well as digital music (a la MOD files), along with a new style of game board and an additional "special weapon" for each figure. It also adds multiplayer game (modem as well as hot seat).</p>

<p>The original <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> concept involves controlling a bat at the bottom of the screen and using it to catch and direct a ball so as to hit all the bricks which are arranged at the top of the screen. It was unpopular for over a decade, before Taito revived it with some new ideas in this arcade game.</p>
<p>The game's plot redefines the bat as a Vaus spaceship, the ball as an energy bolt, and the bricks form a mysterious wall stopping the ship from progressing to safety.</p>
<p>By the mid-80s, power-ups were popular in most types of arcade games, and <em>Arkanoid</em> features them. They are caught by positioning the bat below them as they fall (meaning that you risk missing the ball if you go for them at the wrong time). The power-ups include lasers (which are mounted to each side of the ship and allow you to shoot out the blocks), a catching device (so as to be able to fire the ball off at a different angle every time you hit it) and one that slows the bolt down.</p>

<p>Revenge of Doh is a direct sequel to the original arcade smash <a href="/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a>. Along with improved graphic engine, better sound and music, better hardware support and more levels, Revenge of Doh also features a built-in editor and allows you to create your own level sets!</p>
<p>Revenge of Doh continues Arkanoid's plot as follows, directly taken (including typoes) from the game:</p>
<p>A long time period passed and the dimension controlling force Doh has again come back to life. Occupying the huge starship Xorg, it has entered our universe from a different dimension. Mixtec, Arkanoid type spaceship, has lauched the craft Vaus II to make a preemptive attack on Xorg.</p>

<p>The university instructor Professor Avish has been asked to give an important lecture, and was invited to stay in a hotel the night before. When he woke up in the morning, while still in his pajamas, he discovered to his amazement that he is not in the hotel, but in a mysterious castle with many rooms. Eventually the professor was able to escape from the castle and make it to the lecture. He then decided to change the original subject and instead narrated to the audience what happened to him in the castle. He has taken pictures of every room, but unfortunately forgot how he managed to get out of any of them, so that remains for the player to figure out.</p>
<p><em>Avish!</em> is an Israeli-made puzzle game with action and platforming elements. Each room in the the castle is built like a puzzle area, and the player's goal is to leave it, proceeding to the next one. The professor must avoid obstructions in order to find the key that will open the door to lead him out of the room.</p>

<p>Another game in the Skunny series. This is the original Skunny, a side-scroller in which you must collect various items within a set time limit.</p>

<p>In the game Starfire, you control a fighter ship and you have to destroy all of the enemy fighters. Collect the power-ups to do better. Some of the power-ups include extra life, tri shot, and machine gun. Avoid the missile turrets and enemy ships at all costs. Make sure to get power-ups or you won't be able to beat the boss. This game is top-scrolling so get ready for some arcade action. Do you have what it takes to win?</p>

<p><em>Acid Tetris</em> is a freeware <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> clone, true to the original version. There is only one game mode, where you guide an unlimited amount of falling bricks to form complete rows until you hit the top of the screen. After reaching a certain amount of points, the speed of the bricks is increased. This difficulty level can also be set from the start in the main game menu. </p>
<p>There are a few features that make this game stand out. The bricks are colorful and upon removing a line, a yellow smiley appears with a different expression and sound depending on the amount of rows you removed with a single brick. On the right is an overview of the amount of different bricks used. There is a high score table and the game features both up-tempo and relaxing music, including a remake of the classic <em>Tetris</em> song.</p>

<p>Move around in space in 360 degrees of freedom. Take on missions as a bounty hunter, blow up ships, asteroids, etc... and get cash all while revealing an evil plot.</p>

<p><em>Avoid the Noid</em> is an advertisement ploy for Domino's Pizza. You are a pizza delivery boy who must deliver a pizza to Doom Industries while the creature Noid is set to prevent him from acheiving this goal. You must deliver the pizza to the top floor in 30 minutes or less, or the customer will get a discount and you will lose your job.</p>

<p><em>Fatal Fumes</em> is an overhead racing game featuring 256-color parallax scrolling similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/581/james-pond-2-codename-robocod/">James Pond 2: Codename: RoboCod</a> at the speed of 70 fps. It is the first project of a small Finnish group which later improved the game after its first release. The full version for registered users contains 35 tracks, twelve vehicles, twelve opponents, a track editor and both a 2-player and a general multiplayer mode. There are no weapons in the game, the focus is entirely on racing.</p>

<p>In the first Secret Missions add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3/wing-commander/">Wing Commander</a>, the TCS Tiger's Claw responds to a distress call from the Terran colony in the Goddard System. Once they arrive, they find that the colony has been completely destroyed by a new Kilrathi secret weapon, with no survivors. The Tiger's Claw is then ordered to pursue the Kilrathi fleet into their own space and destroy this new weapon - without reinforcements or the ability to resupply...</p>
<p>The Secret Missions campaign adds 16 new missions to fly. Unlike the main game, there is no branching mission tree - progress is linear. There are also several new ships: a Confederation corvette, Kilrathi and Confederation freighters and of course the Kilrathi dreadnought with the secret weapon itself.</p>
<p>Characters from the main game can be transferred into the add-on, which also includes a "Mission Selector" to fly any of the missions from the original game.</p>

<p>In the second add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3/wing-commander/">Wing Commander</a>, everything seems quiet at first. The Tiger's Claw is stationed in the Firekka system. The Firekkans are bird-like aliens who are applying for membership in the Confederation, with the Tiger's Claw watching over the diplomatic negotiations. Things change when huge Kilrathi fleets appear near Firekka. Even though the system has no military value, the Kilrathi are pulling fleets from other systems, all of them heading for Firekka. The Confederation is puzzled, until a Kilrathi defector is able to shed light on the mystery and the pilots of the Claw are called to defend Firekka and the Confederation diplomats from a Kilrathi holy war.</p>
<p>The add-on adds 16 new missions to fly, with a linear mission structure. New Kilrathi ships include the Hhriss heavy fighter, the Snakeir strike carrier and an upgraded version of the Dralthi. The player gets to fly these new Dralthi, provided by the Kilrathi defector, in special undercover missions. Many of the Kilrathi fighters are now manned by the Drakhai, the elite Imperial Guard, while the Confederation's defenses are reinforced by two new wingmen, Doomsday and Jazz.</p>
<p>Player characters from both the original game and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1104/wing-commander-the-secret-missions/">the first add-on</a> can be transferred, and the Mission Selector from that add-on, allowing one to play any mission from Wing Commander, is also included.</p>

Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi - Special Operations 1

<p>After the victory at K’Tithrak Mang, things are looking up for the Confederation. Several Kilrathi planets are rebelling and breaking away from the Empire. The Special Operations division of Confed is assigned to support the Kilrathi rebels and protect them from the inevitable Imperial counterattack. That's not the only problem, though: after a mutiny on a Confed cruiser, the crew have taken to piracy and attack human trade ships in the nearby star systems.</p>
<p>The first add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/823/wing-commander-ii-vengeance-of-the-kilrathi/">Wing Commander II</a> offers 20 new missions. It also offers new ships: the Crossbow is Confed's latest bomber, faster and more maneuverable than the Broadsword. The new member of the Kilrathi fleet is the heavy fighter Gothri.</p>
<p>The story of Wing Commander II is continued with lots of cutscenes, featuring old and new characters. Player characters from the original game (and their kill scores) can be transferred into the add-on.</p>

Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi - Special Operations 2

<p>Zachary "Jazz" Colson, traitor to the Confederation, is being transported to his execution when he is freed by the Society of Mandarins. Meanwhile, Confed is testing its latest fighter, the Morningstar, on the Concordia. Performing the tests is the Wild Eagle Squadron, under the command of an old acquaintance: Todd "Maniac" Marshall. And while the Morningstar is still plagued with random failures of its jump drive, the Mandarin, under Jazz's command, have already set their eyes on acquiring the prototype for the Kilrathi.</p>
<p>The second Special Operations add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/823/wing-commander-ii-vengeance-of-the-kilrathi/">Wing Commander II</a> adds a further 20 missions to fly. The new flyable fighter in the game is the Morningstar, which is armed with a tactical nuclear missile called the Mace, able to take out an entire fighter wing with one blast. Maniac returns as a wingman and brings the members of his squadron along. The story is told with the usual assortment of extensive cutscenes.</p>
<p>Player characters from either the original game or the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1106/wing-commander-ii-vengeance-of-the-kilrathi-special-operations-1/">first add-on</a> can be transferred into Special Operations 2.</p>

<p>In Carnage you race in a top-down view where every car goes with the same speed. And if you want to see the next track you must win your race; if you can't, unfortunately the game is over! In total there are 18 tracks.</p>
<p>After every race you earn 800 pounds, and go to a shop where you can buy necessary things for your car like nitros and mines, or equipments for upgrade.</p>

<p><em>Top Gun: Fire at Will</em> is a flight simulator based on the movie of the same name. You take the role of Maverick and must pilot your F-14 Tomcat with your RIO Merlin in the backseat through a series of missions that begin with the Top Gun School in San Diego and continue with conflict zones in Cuba, Korea and Libya.</p>
<p>Full motion video cutscenes with live actors play between many of the game's fifty or so missions, with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/10372/james-tolkan/">James Tolkan</a> being the only actor to return from the original movie.</p>

<p>This Special edition of <a href="/search/?q=SkyRoads">SkyRoads</a> features 3 new worlds
for Christmas and one for a training course to its existing worlds. However by this addition you will not able to play Satellite, Into The Sun, Asteroid Belt and The Earth again.</p>

<p>Your home solar system of 15 planets has been attacked by a horde of Super Dreadnoughts, from a race who wish to harvest your universe's minerals for their own use.</p>
<p>You must pilot your craft through some of the hardest levels ever created, shoot down enemy space craft and ground weapons, and avoid the many indestructible hazards. When a sufficient number of enemies have been defeated the player can then land on the Dreadnought and proceed to destroy the ship's reactor.</p>
<p>The innovation is that you do not simply travel in a single direction, but instead move from left to right or right to left depending on where the current targets are, in a manner more similar to <a href="/search/?q=Defender">Defender</a> than most shoot 'em ups.</p>

<p>Geoffroi Le Brun, ensign in His Majesty’s musketeers, arrives in the middle of the night in 16th century Rouen, France, to start his new posting at the musketeer headquarters. At the moment he arrives, the unfortunate Comte d’Itee, William de Peuple, is attacked by bandits and his precious will is stolen.

However, he is assisted by a clever manservant, called Henri, who will be a great help, without any doubt. With some luck, he will hunt the murderer(s) down and find the will. And who knows, maybe he will meet a beautiful lady or find a fortune on the way. </p>
<p><em>Touché: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer</em> is a humorous, inventory-based point and click adventure game.

<p><em>1 Ton</em> is a freeware game where the player controls a weight of one ton. The ton can be moved around freely with the mouse, although it also falls due to gravity. Pressing the plunger on the right side of the screen summons a man onto the playfield, who then proceeds to walk around the screen. The goal of the game is simple: crushing as many of the people as possible. This is accomplished by hitting the people with the ton. There is no text or any kind of score displayed in the game. Pressing any key on the keyboard ends the game.</p>

<p>Although you have been told <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1115/1-ton/">1 Ton</a> is <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Martin+Magnusson">Martin Magnusson</a>'s very first game, his first game to be released is a "lousy" nibbles clone.</p>
<p>Coded in C++ and Assembler. Again a little freeware game.</p>

<p>"If you ever complained over meaningless violence on the TV, now is the time start again. The violence in chickens is truly meaningless. The poor innocent chickens run on to the screen and can't escape. All you have to do is throw (an unlimited amount) of bombs at them and watch them get teard apart."</p>
<p>Martin Magnusson had told his game with these words. After <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1115/1-ton/">1 Ton</a> weight and tiny men this time you use bombs to kill chickens! You grab and release bombs by mouse. Coded in Borland C++ and the graphics was drawn in Deluxe Paint II
Enhanced.. Followed by a sequel from the same author. Freeware.</p>

<p>Gory events continue with this sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Chickens">Chickens</a> : As you can easily guess the human race is at war with chickens. Once again you kill as many chickens as you can. You have a limited
time. And this time you don't use bombs, you have a pointer, every time you press your mouse button it shoots!</p>
<p>Coded in C. Emailware (This means if you like the game you should send the author an email or postcard).</p>

<p><em>The Gene Machine</em> is a point-and-click 2D adventure game with background images that give the perspective of 3D.</p>
<p>The story begins in the 1880s in London. British gentleman Piers Featherstonehaugh (pronounced "fanshaw") and his faithful servant, Mossop, arrive back home to discover a talking cat on their doorstep. The cat tells them of an outlandish plot concerning genetic mutations gone haywire. It then becomes Fanshaw's goal to stop this ghastly activity and to catch the fiends behind it.</p>
<p>Players step into the shoes of Piers as he and Mossop travel around the globe... and beyond. He will meet many unusual characters and talk with them during his quest .. including talking animals as well as people.</p>
<p>Exploration is in 3rd person perspective and most puzzles involve the multitude of inventory items that can be found while exploring.</p>

<p><em>Death by Dark Shadows</em> is a platformer similar in style to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/34/prince-of-persia-series/">Prince of Persia series</a>. The same basic game concept ideas are used - Fight the voodoo curse and the bad guys at the same time, all while avoiding deadly traps.</p>

<p><em>Battlesport</em> simulates the sport of the future. Choose your vehicle and enter the arena to face your computer opponents to see who scores the most goals before the clock runs out.</p>
<p>Scoring isn't easy. The ball constantly bounces over the arena, retrieved by a player constantly bombarded by opponents. A variety of weapons are available to shoot your competitor, and anyone that takes a hit while carrying the ball loses possession, sending the ball bouncing across the arena. Taking too many shots results in a temporary inability to take part in the action while your opponent happily scores goals. </p>
<p>Winning matches increases standing in the rankings and the acquisition of cash to purchase a better vehicle and enhanced offensive or defensive items.</p>

<p>This adventure is adapted from the 150-page novella "The Mist" by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Stephen+King">Stephen King</a>.</p>
<p>While you are on a routine visit to the supermarket, a sinister, thick mist rolls into town, swallowing up everything in its path and trapping you. Can you escape amidst the ensuing panic, and make it out of this poisoned and bug-ridden town?</p>

<p>A resurrection of the original classic platform game with a number of updates such as one and two player options, detailed graphics, character moves, a level editor, and music with sound effects. Besides running from some red-toga wearing "Mad Monks" that eat you (like in the "Beast Master" movie) if they catch you, you have a few things on hand to use: small bombs, big bombs (nothing will reappear when they destroy something), a drill (for stone floors), booby-traps, and a few other things up your sleeve.</p>

<p>As Billy, you set off to rescue Gizmo the Gremlin from Clamp Tower skyscraper, where Dr. Catheter plans to viciously experiment with him. Unfortunately, Catheter gets word of your plans, and mixes up a whole new batch of vicious gremlins. As a result, your mission is now one of destruction and avoidance.</p>
<p>Elite's implementation of this is a five-level side-view action game, in which you run around avoiding or shooting the gremlins. Each level has a secret object which must be collected. Bonus items such as extra lives and time can be collected, as can improved weapons, and credits to spend on a new weapon after each level.</p>

<p>The medieval town of Turnvale has fallen into the hands of the evil sorceress Selena. She is controlling an army of an orc-like warrior race skorl, who serve her with devotion. The skorl hate humans and have terrorized the town and the nearby land. Diermot is an ordinary fellow who was captured by the skorl and thrown into prison. His first task will be to escape. After gaining his freedom, Diermot will also have to find out how to liberate his entire homeland from the clutches of the villains.</p>
<p>This adventure game utilizes a special system called <em>Virtual Theater</em>. Non-playable characters will walk around and perform different actions regardless of the player's interaction with them. There is a variety of options and commands, including the possibility of interaction with a supporting character, whom the player can give orders in order to solve some of the game's puzzles.</p>

<p><em>Heimdall 2: Into the Hall of Worlds</em> is an isometric adventure platform game. In the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2072/heimdall/">game's predecessor</a>, Heimdall retrieved the three weapons stolen by Loki and stripped him of some of his power for his treason to the other gods. In the second part Loki's warriors, Hakrats, ravaged the lands of Midgard and Utgard in revenge against the Asgard gods who exiled him. Odin and the other gods discussed what action shall be done to permanently stop Loki. They recollected the story of an amulet with enough power to imprison a god. It was shattered into four pieces and each piece was sent into a different world. The journey to recover all the amulet pieces was undertaken by Baldur but he was entrapped by Loki. Knowing this the elder gods decided to send a god who had enough experience as a mortal - the choice was given to Heimdall, son of Odin, guardian of the Asgard gods. They also sent Valkyrie named Ursha who was supposed to help him.</p>
<p>Heimdall and Ursha must travel through different nordic worlds in search of answers, weapons, and pieces of the amulet. During the quest, the player may change the characters but in some sections, both characters are needed in order to complete the game. </p>
<p>The player travels through different lands of Nordic Worlds, fighting with enemies (with a sword, a bow and arrow, or magic) and solving puzzles that are mostly about finding an object and bringing it to the person who needs it, figuring out the proper combination of some items or goods or finding a way through the maze. During the game, you can change the character between man and woman.</p>

<p>Everybody knows what/who Pac-Man is from his heyday in the '80s, but this time, we're getting a whole new adventure of our little eater. Guess his stomach is full, 'cause there's nothing much to eat here, only collecting points. This is much like some Indiana Jones adventure, only your little hero's Pac-Man instead of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/25947/harrison-ford/">Harrison Ford</a>. Pac-Man can even transform himself into a swimmer, rock eater, fireball spitter, or rope swinger during his quest.</p>
<p>The game takes place on a huge island separated into eight regions: Desert, Lagoon, Forest, Pyramids, Mountains, Factory, Village, and the Castle. When you manage to get through them, the last one awaits: The Machine which seems to be some sort of a way to get out of here. This level is not a typical stage after stage approach. Each screen has several exits that can either bring you closer to, or further from the end of the game.</p>
<p><em>Pac-in-Time</em> is a reskinning of <em>Fury of the Furries</em>. It's exactly the same game. Only the characters were changed: the not-so-known European Tinies (from the Skweek/Super Skweek/Tiny Skweeks/Brainies/Tinies games) were replaced by the widely known Pac-Man. In <em>Fury of the Furries</em>, you control a cute, round creature called Tiny, who must defeat "the wicked one" who has captured the King and turned all the Tinies into mindless monsters. </p>
<p>A game with the same <em>Pac-in-Time</em> title came out for the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/138290/pac-in-time/">SNES</a> but it is a different game.</p>

<p>Do you want to play Space golf? --It sounds really amazing. If your answer is yes, probably this game is your only option which has a miniature shape in "zany" scenarios.</p>
<p>In each hole (a total of 18 hole courses) you try to give your best shots by just giving simple directions to the ball with your mouse. Since you are playing in space there is no
air, no cruel wind conditions; just swing it to your "desired" destination!</p>

<p><em>Worms: Reinforcements</em> is an add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/340/worms/">Worms</a>. It includes some modifications to the gameplay, such as the ability to choose the worm the player wants to use each turn, as well as additional levels and multiplayer support. It also allows the creation and the use of custom levels and speech packs.</p>

<p>As in the movie (and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/534/indiana-jones-and-the-last-crusade-the-graphic-adventure/">the more famous graphic adventure</a>), your task is to find the Holy Grail. Before this can be done you must find the Cross of Coronado, a shield and a diary. </p>
<p>This makes for a four-level arcade adventure combining climbs, exploration (with several routes through each level, and some traps) and puzzles. Indy is armed with his trusty whip to fight off foes, but can also get involved in hand-to-hand combat. The first level takes place in caves underneath Colorado, before you reach a moving circus train strewn with traps, a Zeppelin which is full of guards and ladders, and then Castle Grunwald in Austria.</p>

<p>A little devil named Mutt is a rather lazy character who prefers to do nothing in his own cozy part of the underworld. However, his luck changes when he is chosen as the hero who must venture into a mysterious Labyrinth in the overworld and retrieve the Pizza of Plenty from there, so that his demonic friends will have enough capers and anchovies to eat.</p>
<p><em>Litil Divil</em> has puzzle-solving and action elements, including platforming and combat. Mutt is being transported to various puzzle rooms, where he has to avoid obstacles, fight enemies, and manipulate the environment in order to succeed. It is also possible to buy items such as weapons and shields at specific locations.</p>

<p><em>Gobliiins</em> is a puzzle game with adventure elements, in which the player controls a team of three goblins: Oups, Ignatius and Asgard (Hooter, Dwayne, and BoBo in the US release) to find four magic components. A voodoo doll has turned their king Angoulafre mad and by collecting the components they can track down Niak the Wizard, the only one who can make things right. The player needs to solve various puzzles by combining the different skills of the three goblins. It's possible to switch between them and control them separately. Most of the puzzles are based on coordinated actions. One of the goblins can cast powerful but erratic spells, another can collect and use objects, and the last can hit things. Action icons are activated at the bottom of the screen. The game takes place in 22 stages, each of which has puzzles that must be solved in order to advance. The characters have limited energy, which can be sapped by traps.</p>

<p><em>Hugo II: Whodunit?</em> is the second game in the Hugo adventure game series.</p>
<p>Hugo and his wife, Penelope, arrive to stay at the mansion that belongs to Hugo's Great Uncle Horace. Penelope falls asleep in the bedroom, while Hugo accidentally finds a bookcase passage and is locked in a secret room. Penelope wakes up, only to witness Uncle Horace's murder through the keyhole. The player controls Penelope (and later, briefly, Hugo) and must solve the murder. </p>
<p>Much like its predecessor, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Hugo's+House+of+Horrors">Hugo's House of Horrors</a>, <em>Hugo II: Whodunit?</em> is an adventure game in the style of Sierra's AGI games. The player moves Penelope with arrow keys and types in commands on the bottom of the screen.</p>

<p>Fighting game ported from the classic and wildly popular "Street Fighter 2" franchise.  Choose from a variety of characters and use their fighting skills to beat opponents and become the world champion fighter.</p>
<p>Advantages over the original Street Fighter 2 include faster fighting speed, 4 new characters, new locations, and more balanced/streamlined moves for the original characters.</p>

<p><em>Clyde's Revenge</em> (revenge for what, we are uncertain) is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9209/clydes-adventure/">Clyde's Adventure</a>. It is a platform game that has you locked in many strange castles, and your only method of escape is to collect the magic stones to free yourself.</p>
<p>Unlike many platform games, <em>Clyde's Revenge</em> has no enemies to kill and no bosses to beat. Instead, you must solve puzzles, avoid traps, and pull an innumerable number of levers. You will also need to collect life, in case of the odd tumble from a large height or the most unfortunate slip into a pool of lava.</p>

<p>A writer named Adrienne Delaney has just moved into an old mansion with her photographer husband Donald. Shortly after moving in, Adrienne begins to experience horrifying nightmares and have odd encounters inside the creepy old abode. Furthermore, the house is having a severe effect on her husband, changing him for the worse. Adrienne must discover the secret of the house before the unknown force consumes her husband, and unravel the terrible events that have happened in the past.</p>
<p><em>Phantasmagoria</em> is an adventure game that places heavy emphasis on full motion video for exposition and cutscenes at various junctures to advance the storyline. Adrienne is represented as a digitized character roaming around pre-rendered settings in the house. She inspects various rooms, finds items, adds them to her inventory, finds places to use the items, and triggers advancements in the plot. </p>
<p>Puzzle-solving element is present, though reduced compared to most other adventure games made by Sierra. There are seven chapters in the game, as well as a status screen that tracks the player's progress within the chapter. If the player happens to get stuck in the game, a talking skull icon who identifies himself as the hintkeeper can supply the player with hints on request. It is possible to start playing the game from any chapter.</p>

<p><em>Dondra: A New Beginning</em> is an adventure game with cartoon-style visuals and text input. The protagonist is called forth from this world to another dimension to defeat the evil Colnar. The goal is to travel the world of Questmaster, find and defeat him, and find the prism. Along the way are various pitfalls and real-time traps and monsters.</p>

<p>The protagonist of the game finds himself among the Breakers, an ancient race still harboring the hopes for a day when the Messiah would arrive and save the world. In a curious coincidence, according to their prophecies it turns out to be the very same day on which they encounter the protagonist. He must therefore convince them that he is indeed the Messiah, otherwise his return home and even his survival won't be guaranteed.</p>
<p><em>Breakers</em> is a text adventure game. The player interacts with the environment and converses with characters by typing commands and sentences. Similarly to other Synapse games, it has a real-time element. Characters may act regardless of the player's input, and some puzzles require the player to type commands within a time limit.</p>

<p>As the youngest son of a Noble Merchant, an easy life lay before you. But the call of adventure beckoned, and so, you left your home for a life of action and danger. Sea serpents, storms and tattered sails have all proved perilous as the years passed. You've taken ships and defeated fiends, at the side of your instructor, the Master Corsair Sinbar.</p>
<p>But your thoughts always return to Kara, the Caliph's beautiful daughter. It is for her you devote your skill and honors. And it will be her hand in marriage that will be your reward for attaining your goal of becoming a Corsair. Your adventure begins now, on the hidden isle where Sinbar tests his pupils.</p>
<p><em>Al-Qadim: The Genie's Curse</em> is an action role-playing game set in the <em>Al-Qadim</em> campaign of the <a href="/search/?q=ad%26d">Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons</a> pen-and-paper RPG. The gameplay alternates between visiting friendly areas, where the hero can talk to characters (including choices of dialogue lines and moral behavior), and exploring dungeons, where enemies must be fought in action-based combat. The hero can use melee weapons, a slingshot for ranged attacks, or cast magic spells. Experience points are awarded for defeating enemies; the player can raise the statistics of the protagonist should he gain a level. Acquiring special items and training may also permanently increase certain attack parameters.</p>

<p><em>1942: The Pacific Air War</em> is a flight simulation set in World War II, more specifically the Pacific War between Japan and the United States. </p>
<p>The focus is on the realistic simulation of the ten aircraft. This means for instance that there is no indicator for ammo. The game features several missions which can be either played independently from each other or in two campaigns for the United States or Japan. The goals are mostly to liberate an area, to defend an area or to destroy a specific target. </p>
<p>The special feature of this game is that it also can be played as a strategy game. On an overhead map, the player gets presented with the position of all aircraft and they can order their troops around. The player can take control over any aircraft they wish to and switch between both modes instantly. They can also record their performance and cut small movies with different camera angles out of them.</p>

<p>Take command of one of seven German U-Boats during WWII and hunt down and destroy allied convoys. This is never an easy task since their escorts and aircraft are waiting to ruin your day. The level of realism, and with it the difficulty, can be set by enabling or disabling ten options, e.g. unlimited ammo, clear sight or even invulnerability.</p>
<p>Campaigns can be started in one of several time slots, allowing you to play for the entire war if you wish. During these campaigns you gain medals and promotions which includes the command of better submarines. You can also choose to play a single mission where you can set certain variables, e.g. number of ships or weather conditions. Specific missions aren't required because the engine "rolls up" convoys and targets, meaning every time you play the missions will change. The type and location of these missions depend on the historical time and the used submarine.</p>
<p>The submarine consists of several rooms where you can access the functions and instruments you'll need, e.g. the logbook in the captain's room or the fuel and battery prompt in the engine room. However, the most important functions can be brought up at any time, this includes the sea map where you set waypoints. The crew can take over certain tasks, e.g. identifying ships.</p>
<p>The CD-ROM version adds additional multimedia features: video interviews with German submariners, an on-line manual gives detailed information about the historical background and submarine tactics as well as historical maps, movies, photos and articles.</p>

<p>The Orient Express is about to depart from Paris to Constantinople. As the train slowly begins to move away from the station, a young, courageously looking man jumps on it from his motorcycle and makes his way inside. This man is an American doctor named Robert Cath, escaping from authorities as a suspect in the murder of a policeman. In the train, he finds the dead body of the person he was supposed to meet. Now he has to act quickly. The only way not to arise the suspicions of the police is to disguise himself as the murdered man. A very dangerous investigation begins, and the hero soon finds himself involved in a deep net of personal intrigues and political conspiracies.</p>
<p><em>The Last Express</em> is a real-time adventure game set in 1914, shortly before the outbreak of the World War, in a concrete historical and geographical environment. The game uses a simple point-and-click interface for interacting with people and objects, and navigating the character from a first-person perspective through pre-rendered backgrounds. From the moment the player gains control of Robert Cath, time begins to flow. If the player fails to solve a part of the mystery until the train arrives at the next station, certain events the player was supposed to prevent will occur, ending the game prematurely. It is impossible to permanently die in the game, as the player has the ability to rewind the clock in order to replay a specific period of time.</p>
<p>The player is for the most part free to explore the train, and the story progression has a certain degree of non-linearity. Characters follow their own schedules, frequently moving between locations, talking to each other, and generally acting independently of the player's input. The player can decide to interrupt conversations, remain unnoticed, or openly follow characters and witness their activities. For example, at a certain moment in the game's timeline two characters will perform a classical sonata for violin and piano; the player can opt for staying and listening to the performance, or use the time to explore other locations. Along with detective work and a few inventory-based and logical puzzles, the player's main task in the game is to eavesdrop on people's conversations, talk to characters, and solve the mystery by finding out more information about the bizarre case. There are also several timing-oriented fighting sequences in the game.</p>
<p>The game's visuals resemble "art nouveau" style that was prominent in the historical time period described in it. The similarity to the style is achieved by using rotoscoping technique. Actors wearing distinctive make-up and costumes were filmed against a bluescreen, digitized, turned into black-and-white frames and colored by hand. The game is also notable for including authentic dialogue recorded by native speakers of several languages (French, German, Russian and others), with English subtitles displayed.</p>

<p>So you've decided to become a human guinea pig eh?

<p>The player is in a dark forest. The only hint is a placard nailed to a tree, with a warning: anyone seeking the Orb will meet a fitting end, signed King Aken by his Lord Lieutenant K'vin. Further exploration reveals a stone pedestal, a log cabin, and a dark cave. Exploring the cave without a light source will result in certain death by a <em>yallou</em>. It's up to the player to figure out how to proceed.</p>
<p><em>Book One of The Usurper: The Mines Of Qyntárr</em> (in-game title) is a text adventure game with a fantasy setting. The game tracks how many moves the player makes and will award the player points (out of 500) for progress in the game.</p>

<p>Go through each screen (playing as a submarine) and destroy all the enemies with your missiles.</p>

<p>Go around in your tank and shoot the bad guys and avoid getting shot in the process.</p>

<p>Local ants are keen to take your sugar cubes. Fortunately you are armed with a fly swatter, which can be used to squash them. Move it around the screen and hit each ant before it can drag a cube off the screen. On each level you have a target minimum of cubes to protect. There are also levels with no cubes - these see the ants moving faster than usual, and you must squash as many as possible, with a bonus based on your percentage success. The game's sampled sounds are used to give a comic and home-brew feel to proceedings.</p>

<p><em>Zee Artillery</em> puts the player in control of a stationary tank, with the objective of firing at the opponent's tank until it is destroyed. The game is played in real time, i.e. the player and the AI do not take turns when firing at each other. The player is able to adjust the power of the shot, as well as its angle.</p>

<p>Classic style plane shooter. Move up a vertical scrolling environment and shoot anything that moves.</p>

<p>In 1995 the increased power of the new wave of systems made 3D football games a possibility several companies investigated. Most of the features people later took for granted in football games were pioneered, or at least fairly fresh, when they appeared in the first of the <a href="/search/?q=Actua">Actua Sports titles</a>.</p>
<p>Multiple camera angles were available to view the full-3D action, with 3 Sheffield Wednesday FC players providing motion capture. 44 international squads of 22 players, each with 8 individual skill attributes, were featured. BBC commentator Barry Davies provided a full flowing commentary over the top. A full range of customised tournaments were available, as well as multi-player options allowing for both same-system and networked play.</p>

<p><em>The Case of the Mandarin Murder</em> is a text adventure with graphics, based on the Perry Mason detective stories by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/261039/erle-stanley-gardner/">Erle Stanley Gardner</a>. A woman is in jail after her rich husband is found dead, and the skillful attorney Perry Mason must prove her innocence. The gameplay is influenced by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Infocom">Infocom's</a> games in similar genre.</p>

<p>When Putt-Putt visits the fireworks factory, a slip of Pep's paw sends him rocketing to the moon.  Once there, he must gather the pieces of a rocket ship to get himself and Pep back home to Earth.</p>

<p>The Planet Novenia has been attacked by the Egrons, who snuck in by disguising their craft as the protected Starglider species, which Novenia's automated defenses were programmed not to shoot. </p>
<p>Your task is to fight them off using only an obsolete Airborne Ground Attack Vehicle. This was designed as the ultimate combat machine, with sophisticated hardware up to Draziw Yarg's high standards. It has a fully-rechargeable shield, plasma drive unit, an inbuilt scanner and 10,000-sector map, a top speed of 2550 Urads and two homing missiles.</p>
<p>The game is viewed from within AGAV's cockpit, with control over speed, weapon targeting and firing. There are several control options to decide exactly how the craft works, with fixed or floating sighting, and the option of automatic centering, allowing you to balance the game between easy sighting and advanced shooting ranges.</p>
<p>Repair depots must be visited frequently, as they can refill the weapon bays as well as repairing the ship. Crucially, the Egron Stargliders need 3 missiles to shoot down, so at least 1 visit to a depot is required to complete this job, at which point you move up to the next, harder, level.</p>

To avoid the mutiny spreading to the entire Federation, Starfleet plans to wrap the entire area in a Klein Sphere, sealing it off forever.</p>
<p>In a last attempt to find out what is happening, Starfleet sends in the Enterprise before the Sphere is set up. Its five year mission is to attempt to discover what is causing the defections, and hopefully stop them. If you fail in your mission, the Sphere will be made permanent, if you succeed the Sphere will be dropped, avoiding a potential war with the Romulans.</p>
<p>The game is basically a graphical adventure with some real-time combat and piloting. The game progresses by flying to planets, beaming down on them, and retrieving any items you find. There are several possible solutions to the game, with clues found along the way.</p>

<p>Curtis Craig is a thirty-year-old man whose distorted childhood is filled with horrors. His father was involved in an illegal, top-secret experiment for a company called WynTech Industries. Nearly nothing is known about the true nature of this experiment; but something in it affected the sanity of Curtis' mother, eventually driving her to suicide. Curtis' father was later shot, leaving the poor little boy with serious behavioural disturbances, and eventually in therapy.</p>
<p>Now, a year after having been released from the mental institution, Curtis is employed at WynTech Industries, whose manager, Paul Warner, has seemingly taken it upon himself to take care of Curtis. He tries to find the cause of his psychotic episodes and the mysterious murders that break out all around him, all the while discovering more and more about his past life and his father's fate.</p>
<p><em>Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh</em> is not an actual sequel to the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1164/roberta-williams-phantasmagoria/">Phantasmagoria</a>, but rather a follow-up that has similar themes and visual concept. The game is more heavy on puzzles and traditional adventure gameplay than its predecessor. The gameplay involves standard activities found in adventure games, including extended conversations with the characters featuring selectable dialogue topics, collecting and manipulating inventory items with the environment, etc. It is possible (and often necessary) to call characters on the phone, as well as check and answer e-mails accessed by Curtis' computer at his workplace.</p>
<p>Like its predecessor, the game has a simple point-and-click interface and employs video sequences with live actors as cutscenes. Short movies are usually shown after each action performed by the protagonist.</p>

<p>You are standing behind the white house. There is something in the mailbox. A video message from a wizard informing you that you are the sweepstakes winner to the Valley of the Sparrows... right now, by magic flight. Upon arriving at this mysterious place however, not everything is as it should be. There's nobody to meet you and those who you do come across don't seem to have any knowledge about a sweepstakes. It looks like this is a private vacation and you'll need to find your own way through this land.</p>
<p><em>Return to Zork</em> is a first-person adventure game using live actors and video sequences. The game is similar to <a href="/search/?q=Myst">Myst</a> in interface; the player is also able to rotate the viewpoint to discover new areas and uncover items that can be used or picked up. Various characters will be met along the way and spoken to via a system of dialog choices. The game allows the player to experiment with items in various ways, including discharging them; however, this often leads to "dead ends", rendering it impossible to complete the game.</p>

<p>Build up your city and provide your citizens with what they need. Also enjoy the multimedia enhancements on the CD, such as video clips.</p>

<p>Torin is a young boy who lives in a little country house on a planet called Strata with his parents and with his purple cat-like friend Boogle. One day he returns home, only to find out his parents were imprisoned in a magical spell. Apparently, the spell was cast by a sorceress named Lycentia. He must now travel to distant lands to find a way to remove the spell and confront the sorceress. What he doesn't know is that this journey will also help him to discover his true origins and his true purpose in life...</p>
<p>Created by <a href="/search/?q=Al+Lowe">Al Lowe</a> of <a href="/search/?q=leisure+suit+Larry">Leisure Suit Larry</a> fame, <em>Torin's Passage</em> is a fairy tale-like humorous adventure with cartoon-style graphics and animations. Torin interacts with characters and objects in a point-and-click fashion, and can also use Boogle's special shape-shifting abilities. During their journey, Boogle will learn how to turn into a variety of objects, which is essential for solving many of the game's puzzles. The game also has many traditional inventory-based tasks as well as other types of puzzles. To facilitate the puzzle-solving, the game has a built-in hint system; using the hints will deduce points from the player's score.</p>

<p>The player controls a little girl, who is up against Jack, the main bad guy from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/907/alone-in-the-dark-2/">Alone in the Dark 2</a>.</p>
<p><em>Jack in the Dark</em> was a free Christmas-time promotion that you could download from BBSes; it was later included on the CD version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Screams+in+the+Dark">Alone in the Dark</a>.</p>

<p>After an alien attack in 2043, great technological leaps were made and space travel was significantly improved upon. In 2119, fearing extinction, Earth built gigantic seedships designed as "arks" to propel people and the sum of human knowledge across the stars. One of these seedships, the UNS Calypso, is sent to Beta Caeli star system which is the farthest colony attempted yet. In 2135, a second seedship, the UNS Tantalus, is dispatched to the same destination in order to better the chances of human survival. The Tantalus is equipped with a more advanced fusion engine and thus will reach Beta Caeli some 21 years ahead of the Calypso. The player takes the role of the Calypso's captain. There is no sign of the Tantalus. All you have are some 5000 colonists, past radio transmissions and a few key advisers to help you colonize this new unfamiliar solar system.</p>
<p>The game has three distinctive parts: global strategy, colony management and searching planets. The latter is always the first part before colonizing a planet: Every planet is divided into sectors which can be chosen on a world map. Then the game switches to a 3D view (which can be switched to a 2D view) in which the player explores the sectors in search of different symbols - clicking on them results in certain benefits. Examples are ore and energy, the two main resources in <em>Alien Legacy</em>, new life forms or traces of a lost civilization which give hints about the awful events of the past. With the correct technology the player can scan both the world map and the sectors to shorten the search - but this costs fuel.</p>
<p>The strategy mostly involves sending out ships to new planets to colonize and researching. Research is powered by "research points" in different categories, e.g. biology or math, which are gathered when searching sectors. By using those points the player gets different technologies of various use like more productive mines or a better range for space ships. Lastly the colonies are viewed from a top-down perspective. Here the player constructs up to 16 buildings to produce resources or space ships. Those buildings have to be maintained or can be upgraded/replaced with the newest research achievements. Every colony also needs a steady number of people, material and robots or it can't produce.</p>
<p>The game is played in real-time; the rounds (two rounds represent a month) elapse if the player is active or not. But time can be slowed down to ease the stress. After about 2000 rounds the peaceful colonizing is over, and the player has to fight a war against an unknown foe..</p>

<p><em>Tracker</em> is a mouse-controlled vector-graphics 3D strategy game depicting an ultra-violent TV show of the future. As a contestant, the player's mission is to be the first to ever complete it successfully. The task involves commanding a fleet of Skimmers charged with destroying various groups of combat vehicles, including Cycloids, Scouts and Defenders. Short and long-range scanners are available to aid in this.</p>
<p>The game takes place in a maze world containing a number of distinct sectors, each of which has its own type of enemy present. The Communication Centre powers the Cycloids, and are protected by the Defenders. Once these are taken out, the Centerpoint Sector must be destroyed to complete the level.</p>

<p>More space combat and strategy in this sequel, which challenges you to collect the elements to form a bomb to destroy a resistance force, before delivering them through heavy fighting. Each planet has its own characteristics, with differing inhabitants and features. </p>
<p>As well as flying through space, you must dart through tunnels under the planets, which restricted your movement range but are where most of the weapons are. As you go along you'll have to obtain objects from people, and trade them so as to be able to complete your main objectives.</p>
<p>The biggest advance from the original Starglider was seen as the polygon graphics, which are filled on 16-bit systems, and contain considerable detail.</p>

<p>Pac-Man, an arcade classic finds a new form in this very cute clone. CD-Man features 5 different worlds to pass each having nicely-drawn graphics in high-res EGA mode and therefore a new character, "The Snoofer" which was not available in version 1.5 (instead of it you were playing with your old pal). </p>
<p>Created by two Swedish authors, Atilla Biro and Anders Moree.</p>

<p><em>Electranoid</em> is an <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a>-style arcade game which features the same basic gameplay as its inspiration, with additional enemies thrown in. Like <em>Arkanoid</em>, the player's objective is to break all the bricks in a level and move on to the next level. Along the way, the player must also contend with enemy fighters like Menacers that launch balls of different colors (and corresponding effects) in an attempt to confuse him/her and Destroyers who will attempt to destroy the player by launching killer balls. But the player can gain an advantage by grabbing power-ups like lasers and multi-balls. In all, a registered user of this game can play up to 100 levels.</p>

<p>Mysterious disasters have begun the once thriving fantasy land. Natural disasters and diseases trouble the population. A group of villagers was sent to seek the assistance of the reclusive wizard Astrix - but it has never returned. A new group is sent, led by the young carpenter Bergon, who is accompanied by the wizard Praxix, the healer Esher, and the true protagonist of the game - a merchant named Tag.</p>
<p>Despite its "RPG-like" premise and the player's control of a party of four characters with unique powers, <em>Journey: The Quest Begins</em> is a puzzle-solving adventure game without role-playing elements. Unlike most <a href="/search/?q=Infocom"> Infocom</a> games of the time, no typing is required in this game; the interface provides the player with a multiple choice of actions that the player selects in order to make the story progress. The game has plenty of text and detailed interaction possibilities. Using the abilities of the four controlled characters is often required to solve the puzzles.</p>

<p>In this Infocom interactive adaptation of James Clavell's Shogun novel, you play John Blackthorne, the first Englishman to set foot on Japanese soil.</p>

<p>You're a stranded space jockey in a rugged frontier settlement on Saturn's moon, Titan. Your one chance to get off this ice cube is to assemble a team and find... a lost city! </p>
<p>This early <a href="/search/?q=Westwood">Westwood</a> title is a turn-based RPG set on the surface of Mars. Your characters have attributes and 21 skills that can be raised during the course of the game. You gather your party throughout the game. Much of the game is viewed from a first-person perspective with a small top down map and status line, but combat is all top-down. Combat can be handled directly by the player or left to the AI.</p>

<p>The blessed island of Ymros is always at ease thanks to the Shard Of Spring -- a crystal that bestows eternal springtime. Now, the evil sorceress Siriadne has stolen the sacred shard and you have to get it back. The world you once knew has fallen to hunger, famine and despair. Everyone now asks you to come forward and take the challenge!</p>
<p><em>Shard of Spring</em> is a role-playing game, in which the player creates and builds up a party of adventurers composed of the traditional races of humans, elves, dwarves, trolls, and gnomes. The two main classes are warrior and wizard; each class specializes in different skills (such as elemental proficiencies). Towns are represented by simple text menus; most of the action takes place in the dungeons, fighting enemy parties in turn-based combat.</p>

<p><em>Lords of Conquest</em> is influenced by the boardgame <a href="/search/?q=Risk">Risk</a>. You and your opponent start by selecting countries in turn from a map. This can be randomly generated based on requested numbers of countries and volumes of water, chosen from one of the 19 predefined ones, or created using the inbuilt editor.</p>
<p>Your army possesses infantry, cavalry and a water fleet. Natural or produced resources such as gold and iron are identified - countries containing these might be the best ones to invade.You can play at 4 skill levels, and decide how big a factor luck is. With calculations settled by the computer, players can concentrate on the power games.</p>

<p>Using the mouse to determine the direction and strength of your putts, you must navigate 9 tricky holes of crazy / mini golf. Try to putt into holes protected by bouncing hamburgers, windmills, etc.  Courses have several twists; one is a mad scientists's lab, another is a pinball table.  The final hole is especially bizarre, themed around energy.</p>
<p>You start with 3 strokes, but get the par for each hole added on, if you reach it in time -  run out of strokes, and your game is over. You can earn bonus strokes by finding hidden bonuses and by completing courses quickly.  Up to 4 players at a time can take part in this game, with anyone badly over par being eliminated as the game progresses.</p>

<p>In the far future, gladiator-style blood sports were revived. The hero of the game gets informed of them through an associate, whom he believes to be dead. In order to get to the bottom of the mystery, he has to become a player in those cruel battles, where only the most ruthless survive. Everyone fights to death, because the loser's fate is worse than just death - the meat of defeated contestants is used in fast-food burgers...</p>
<p><em>XS</em> is a first-person shooter that consists entirely of these gladiatorial arena battles, in a certain way simulating deathmatch competitions in a single-player frame. The player has to fight through a number of rounds of free-for-all combat, being able to choose two weapons before a match begins. Otherwise, the game follows standard FPS rules, with strafing, jumping, occasional platform-hopping, etc.</p>

<p>In this Infocom Graphic Interactive Fiction, you play the role of Arthur in search of the Excalibur sword, stolen by the evil King Lot. To aid you in your quest, you are assisted by Merlin who grants you the power to transform yourself into a variety of animals.</p>

<p>Nobody has expected it - but one day, something entered the solar system from outside. The mysterious object appeared to be a gigantic cylinder with unknown properties. The International Space Agency (ISA) sent the special Newton Team onto the object, which they dubbed "Rama". The scientists soon discovered that Rama was, in fact, a huge biomechanical collector of alien species and their cities. One of the explorers, Valeriy Borzov, dies under mysterious circumstances. Another astronaut is sent to replace him, investigate the circumstances that led to his death, and perhaps uncover the mystery of Rama.</p>
<p><em>Rama</em> is a puzzle-solving adventure game based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/2889/arthur-c-clarke/">Arthur C. Clarke's</a> series of science fiction novels. Visually and gameplay-wise, it mostly follows the template of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Myst">Myst</a>, consisting of pre-rendered backgrounds and live action scenes, and focusing almost entirely on complex logic puzzles. The player character has a special device called "wristcomp", which includes communicative, automapping, and teleporting abilities. A personal android provides descriptions of objects and comments on the events of the game.</p>

<p>Dracula in London is a board game / adventure game based on the classic horror novel by Bram Stoker. Tired of his ancient and barren homeland in Romania, Dracula has come to London seeking fresh blood. He has already bitten and transformed Lucy Westerna into a vampiress, forcing the six remaining main characters to destroy her. Players take control of the six survivors and must track down and destroy the evil count before he can claim another victim.</p>
<p>Dracula in London can be played as either a board game with multiple players controlling different hunters, or as an adventure game with a single player controlling all six characters. Each character has their own special abilities, for example John Harker is the only character able to follow up on clues, and Dr. Steward is the only character able to pick locks as well as calm down asylum inmate Reinfield if the madman should get out of control and attack your hunters.</p>
<p>In order to locate the vampire's lairs, you must investigate local going-ons in London for signs of the count's presence. Once a lair has been found, you can equip your hunters with items and sacred weapons and explore the infested estates for the count and his places of rest. If you are unable to track Dracula down, he will flee to his family castle in Transylvania, and you can give chase for a final battle. But if you fail to destroy all his places of rest, there is a chance the count will escape and all your suffering will be for naught.</p>
<p>The highly random nature of the game ensures a different experience each time. The five or six locations in London are randomly generated, and can contain clues to be followed, coffins to be destroyed, vermin to be fought in combat, and even encounters with the evil count himself. Also, many different random events often occur which can influence the course of the game. Hunters may be stricken with illness, forced to visit an ailing relative, or arrested by the police for breaking and entering. The madman Reinfield may slaughter your hunters at Dracula's command, or he could become the unlikely hero who shows up at the final battle and dispatchs the count for you. One of your characters, Mina, may be targeted by the count, and if you fail to protect her Dracula will transform her into a bloodthirsty vampiress.</p>

<p>In the 25th century humanity was attacked by a mysterious alien force known as the Xatax. The aliens began to attack the planets of the galactic Alliance, consuming the life force of their inhabitants and growing stronger after each victory. Accustomed to several centuries of peace and virtually disarmed, the humans have no other weapon at their disposal but an ancient starfighter, which has been taken from the Interguild Museum and restored to combat condition. This vessel is humanity's last and only hope.</p>
<p><em>Xatax</em> is a side-scrolling shooter in which the player must defend the remains of the Alliance's guilds against the titular aliens. This is accomplished in a traditional shoot-em-up fashion, fighting waves of alien ships and stationary turrets. The player-controlled ship can become stronger by collecting power capsules dropped by defeated enemies. </p>
<p>The game features three different worlds, of which the shareware version only contains the first.</p>

<p>It is a car racing game in which you can race in different tracks through 9 countries and where you try to show your real face by turning into the meanest Road Hog! And if you are
good enough you can even have a chance to find yourself on a popular TV show, Dozer &amp; Mushbrain-show which broadcasts nationwide!</p>

<p><em>Pit-Fighter</em> is a 3rd-person fight game that features digitized graphics of real fighters and zooming effects. Players select one of three fighters (Buzz, Ty or Kato) to take on anyone who dares. At the conclusion of a match, players are individually awarded a Knockout Bonus, Brutality Bonus, and a Fight Purse. Every third match is a Grudge Match where players test the skills of each other. The last man standing is the winner of this three-knockdown match. Players fight their way to the Elimination Match to decide who wins the opportunity to dethrone the champion, the Masked Warrior.</p>

<p><em>Alien Trilogy</em> is a first-person shooter based on the first three <em>Alien</em> movies. You control Lt. Ripley in three sections, each based on one film: The colony complex on LV426 (from <em>Aliens</em>), the prison planet (from <em>Alien³</em>) and the derelict spaceship (from <em>Alien</em>). Each section consists of about 10 missions. In every mission, certain goals must be accomplished to continue. These include killing a certain number of enemies, finding items or activating switches.</p>
<p>Enemies include everything the alien life cycle provides: facehuggers, chestbursters, warrior aliens, dog aliens (from <em>Alien³</em>) and alien queens, one of which waits in the final mission of every section. In addition to the Aliens, you also have to fight employees of the Company, who have either been infected by the aliens and are beyond saving or who actively want to obstruct your mission.</p>
<p>Weapons to be used include pistol, shotgun, pulse rifle, flame thrower and smart gun. Ammunition, health upgrades and other useful items are scattered throughout the levels. Hidden areas may be uncovered by using explosives like grenades and seismic charges. An auto mapping system helps in not getting lost, night goggles and shoulder lamps (running on battery power) allow you to see in the dark and the motion tracker tells you where your enemies are - but only if they are moving.</p>

<p>The evil Akuma has destroyed the protagonist's homeland, killed many of his friends and kidnapped the princess Mariko. Fortunately, the hero is skilled in martial arts, so his inevitable quest to reach Akuma's palace and rescue Mariko has a chance of success.</p>
<p><em>Karateka</em> is viewed from the side and features a succession of increasingly difficult opponents. Three types of punches and kicks are available to both the player character and his foes, differentiated by their height (low, medium, and high). The protagonist has a health bar, which refills itself gradually when he stands still.</p>

<p>As a child, you were never taught of your family's dark secret - a whole history of 'evil twins' doing Satan's work on Earth, and 'good twins' attempting to put this right. Your uncle informs you of this shortly before his death, and after travelling to his castle you find that you must travel through time to correct these wrongdoings. 
Through a range of murals at your uncle's house, various past scenes must be entered, with more becoming available as you complete them. In each you must find and kill your demented relative in time.</p>
<p><em>WaxWorks</em> is a hybrid game that combines elements of role-playing and adventure. The player explores maze-like locations, manipulating objects and solving puzzles. Enemies appear from time to time and must be defeated using the various weapons found in the game. The player receives experience points and fathers equipment in a RPG fashion in each WaxWork; however, completing one negates these effects, and the protagonist becomes more defenseless in the next location. The game's controls are point and click, with the interface allowing the player to examine and collect items, select a weapon, and attack potential foes by striking at a particular part of their body.</p>

<p>The vampire lord Kairn has murdered his father and brothers so he could inherit control of the valley. Ever since he's used his powers to cut off contact with the outside world, Kairn has been living it up, torturing the villagers with madness and death, feeding off of them like livestock and turning the village women into his personal vampiress servants. Meanwhile, the villagers are miserable, as every day they face the possibility of either being devoured by werewolves, gnawed on by zombies, driven into stark raving lunatics, or turned into vampires by Kairn and his posse.</p>
<p>A cargo pilot's plane is shot down by a mysterious force while flying over a remote valley in Romania. A helpful village girl named Deirdre rescues him from the crash and takes him to her father Kiril, who informs the pilot that his arrival via plane crash marks him as the chosen one who is prophesied to destroy Kairn. Since Kairn has cut off all ways out of the valley, the only way he is going to leave is, as the old saying goes, over his dead body. That's not going to be very easy, however. Wild animals and unnatural creatures roam the countryside. While some villagers will help the hero to rid them of Kairn, others have been driven mad with despair and by the valley's oppressive aura, causing them to commit unspeakable acts or otherwise act in an unhelpful manner. Even the most trusted allies may turn out to have a few skeletons in the closet... </p>
<p><em>Veil of Darkness</em> is an isometric role-playing game with action-based combat and adventure elements. Most of the game is dedicated to exploring the game world in a fairly open-ended fashion, gathering information and items. Puzzle-solving is conversation- and inventory-based; many battles are also designed in a puzzle-like manner, with the hero being able to defeat certain enemies only with specific weapons. Heavy inventory management and status ailments contribute to the game's RPG mechanics.</p>

<p>After a group of brave heroes defeated the wizard Mangar the Dark and freed Skara Brae from eternal winter, all seemed well in the world. However, the evil Archmage Lagoth Zanta shows up and splits the Destiny Wand into seven pieces, scattering them all over the land. The Destiny Wand has protected the lands for seven hundred years, and without it the realm will fall into chaos. Thus it falls upon the heroes to reforge it. One of them also has to ascend to the position of Archmage and use the wand to defeat Lagoth Zanta.</p>
<p><em>The Destiny Knight</em> is the second installment in the Bard's Tale series, and a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/819/tales-of-the-unknown-volume-i-the-bards-tale/">Tales of the Unknown</a>. Like its predecessor, it is a fantasy role-playing game with first-person exploration of a pseudo-3D world and turn-based battles against randomly appearing enemies. The sequel features six towns as opposed to the predecessor's only one, and a larger overworld area. Dungeons contain more traps and puzzles than before.</p>
<p>The player can create a party of up to seven active characters, as well as create additional characters and store them at the Adventurer's Guild in every city. Available races are human, elf, dwarf, hobbit, half-elf, half-orc, and gnome. In addition, some monsters can join the party and be summoned during combat. It is also possible to store money and banks and gamble in the casino, though the latter feature has been removed from the PC version.</p>

<p>Something has gone horribly wrong at Genoq Biolabs, Singapore. You're just a courier, sent to the building to deliver a package. Now you're trapped inside, the security system has gone crazy, genetically engineered organisms are on the rampage and things look like they could get even worse...</p>
<p>Make your way through 10 floors of isometric action and puzzles, trying to stay alive and discover what's going on. Talk to and rescue survivors, pick up armaments and log into computer terminals. What caused the Genoq disaster? What's inside the vital package you've got to deliver? What is the <em>D/Generation</em>? And what is really waiting for you on the top floor of the building?</p>
<p>The Windows, Macintosh, and Xbox One HD versions have additional features: high res graphics, new music, a new control menu, the ability to save anywhere, and support for leaderboards and achievements.</p>

<p>Another golf game, featuring an extensive course designer as a value-added feature. Similar to <a href="/search/?q=Links">Links</a> or <a href="/search/?q=PGA+Tour+Golf">PGA Tour Golf</a>, both of which came out around the same time.</p>

<p>People are fighting to excavate the star cores. Terran Hardlight Corporation is paying millions for this. You fight the others for control of the star cores, but in the midst of it all, your comrades are being trapped and captured by those other folks whom are willing to risk it all - even engage in all out space warfare.</p>

<p><em>T-Mek</em> is essentially an updated <a href="/search/?q=Battlezone">Battlezone</a>. You are a warrior battling in the T-Mek competition, a hugely popular event in the future. You control a hovercraft and try to blow up everyone else.</p>
<p>The action is viewed from your perspective as you travel around the arena. You also have an overall view of where your opponents are. Terrain surfaces and characteristics vary in each battle. In most levels you need to reach a certain score to progress, however there are out-and-out one-off Deathmatch duels to deal with periodically.</p>

<p>Real-time strategy in space. Play as one of four different races. Do the normal RTS thing; collect resources, build up a powerful military, and crush everyone else.</p>

<p>Your job is to guide Rodney or Bernard through a series of levels in order to stop the attacking mutants. The mutant penguins win the level if they are able to get more soldiers to the scale and tip it in their favor. You win if you are able to lead the good penguins to the scale.</p>

<p><em>The Seven Spirits of Ra</em> is a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/178/icon-quest-for-the-ring/"> ICON: Quest for the RING</a>, sharing much of its predecessor's gameplay and interface features. The player navigates Osiris through various environments in ancient Egypt, in a mixture of top-down and side-scrolling views, eliminating enemies in simple action-based combat. The role-playing element is less noticeable in the game compared to its predecessor; however, the world is larger and offers more exploration possibilities.</p>

<p>The Kristal of Konos is a magical artefact described as the key to world peace. However, an evil being known as Malvalla has taken it, releasing Chaos into the universe. A space pirate named Dancis Frake ventures on his twin cannon space galleon to the planet Meltoca, where he hopes to find clues concerning the Kristal's whereabouts. </p>
<p>Based on the theater play <em>The Kristal of Konos</em> (1976), <em>The Kristal</em> is primarily an adventure game with space shooter and fighting segments. The adventure portions consist of exploring populated planets, gathering clues and talking to characters in order to gain information. When traveling between planets, the player-controlled ship may be attacked be enemies, which must be eliminated in shooting sequences. Dancis has special strength and psychic ratings, which may increase or decrease depending on his actions. He may participate in swordfighting to improve these parameters. "Skringles", a form of intergalactic currency, can be found, earned, and spent in the game.</p>

You get hit by a car, fall from a great height, are sprayed with a cheese sandwich, and more! Being the guinea pig in this strange world will drive you insane - if this jinxed land doesn't do it first. </p>
<p><em>Jinxter</em> is an interactive fiction with graphics title that takes a realistic world of people and situations, and then plays with the boundaries to create a strange and puzzling world. Characters are all getting on with their own tasks, and getting them to help you is usually a case of making sure something's in it for them.</p>
<p>Dialogue aims to add a comic touch to proceedings. Puzzles can often be solved in multiple ways, but the most obvious way is not always the correct one. Due to the presence of a Guardian, you can't actually die.</p>

<p><em>Knight Orc</em> is a text adventure with graphics. The protagonist, Gringleguts the Orc, swears revenge on all humankind for the treatment of his race. The game flows in real time; each person and creature goes on about their daily lives and follows their schedule. So, if the protagonist revisits an area and finds a person that was previously there gone, it may mean that the person in question is in another location. The player's decisions and timing play a key role to the game's outcome.</p>

<p>The movie; Plan 9.....the critics hated it. But, the producer of the film has noticed that it's been stolen by Bela Lugosi's double. Find him. Track him. For God's sake - just keep a straight head when you enter this part of the movie lot and town. Some of the most misguided people roam here! Most important.....get the film back!</p>

<p><em>Fantasy General</em> is a turn-based strategy game set in a fantasy world with some steampunk/high-tech elements. </p>
<p>The forces of evil, in the form of the dreaded Shadowlord and his henchmen, have conquered most of the world. On the brink of defeat, the player (in the form of one of four heroes) is summoned as champion who will change course, free the world and defeat evil - or lose all.</p>
<p>The game features 10 unit types from four realms with lots of upgrades, complemented by a similar plethora available primarily to the opponent. Most of the game takes place on battle maps. Outside of those there's just a bit of basic recruiting, setting research priorities and financial managing. Battle maps are hex-based and feature lots of different terrain types that require a suitable approach - cavalry will rule on plains but is crippled in swamps. The player should build an army that is composed of the right mix of units and can adapt to new situations.</p>
<p>The game will look similar to players familiar with <a href="/search/?q=Panzer+General">Panzer General</a> since it uses a modified engine of said game.</p>
<p>The game offers two modes: the campaign against the Shadowlord or arena mode (single battle) against a computer or human opponent.</p>
<p>In campaign mode, the player selects one of four heroes, each with his or her special abilities and sets out to defeat the Shadowlord. The player must prove his or her own ability to adapt play style and army across five continents with different challenges until the player finally defeats the Shadowlord on Fire Isle.</p>

<p><em>Autoduel</em> is a hybrid game based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1317/steve-jackson-games/">Steve Jackson Games</a> board game <em>Car Wars</em>. It incorporates elements of role-playing, driving and action-based combat. The game is set in a futuristic version of USA, where gangs and vigilantes rule the wilderness, and people's only protection are armored cars with mounted weaponry. The player is cast in the role of an average person who must at first earn enough money to buy an own car, and then perform courier missions throughout the country.</p>
<p>The game's progression is fairly open-ended: the player is free to visit different cities, explore highways, participate in car Arena battles to earn money, take on gangsters in the wilderness, salvage car parts, etc. A few courier missions must be completed in order to advance the story. The player can construct and customize vehicles using guns, mine-layers, smokescreens, oil slicks, rockets and other accessories, choosing between various body and chassis types for the car. The entire game is viewed from a top-down perspective.</p>

<p>In this action/simulation game by <a href="/search/?q=Microprose">Microprose</a> the player takes the role of an U.S. Army airborne ranger. These Airborne rangers are dropped behind enemy lines by parachute to perform all kinds of dangerous missions. Gameplay consists of 3 phases:
1. Reading the mission briefing and outfitting 3 supply pods with machine gun ammo, time bombs, first-aid kits, grenades &amp; LAW rockets depending on this briefing.
2. Flying over the mission map in a V-22 Osprey plane to drop your 3 supply pods and parachuting out of the plane yourself.
3. Performing the actual missions and reaching the pick-up point before time runs out. There are 12 different missions which include capturing an enemy officer, blowing up an ammunition depot, photographing an experimental aircraft and liberating P.O.W.'s</p>
<p>Missions take place in either an arctic, desert or temperate setting. Using the mission map the player must decide the route towards the mission objective. This might require them to crawl through trenches, run around minefields or take out enemy soldiers and bunkers. <em>Airborne Ranger</em> was one of the first games with some missions that required a stealthy approach (staying undetected until a certain time, taking out a guard and stealing an enemy uniform etc.).</p>
<p><em>Airborne Ranger</em> can be played in practice or veteran mode. In practice mode, gameplay is limited to a single mission, while in veteran mode, a series of missions or an entire campaign is played in order to earn medals &amp; promotions. All missions can be played on several difficulty levels.</p>

<p>The <a href="/search/?q=Test+Drive">Test Drive series</a> of racing games traditionally involve driving cars on tarmac. However, a sub-series of games involving hazardous racing on less prepared surfaces was commenced with this title.</p>
<p>Choose from one of four monster trucks (Hummer, Land Rover Defender 90, Jeep Wrangler, and Chevrolet K-1500 Z71), each of which has its own handling as well as realistic damage modeling. Take them through 12 tracks incorporating sand, snow and dirt. In the single-player mode your task is to progress through increasing challenging leagues. </p>
<p>An assortment of camera angles are supplied to play from. 3 exclusive remixes of Industrial band Gravity Kills make up the soundtrack. Up to four drivers can race against each other.</p>

<p><em>Bad Dudes</em> is a six-level action game originating in the arcades. The gameplay involving beating a succession of guys to complete the level, then an end-of-level bad guy. The action takes place on two different levels of the screen, which can be jumped across or navigated using ladders. Moves such as punches and kicks are on offer. The control method makes jumping sideways quite tricky.</p>

<p>A sequel to the original Battle Chess, this game takes on a more Chinese approach, both in the rules of the game and in the presentation. </p>
<p>Using a Chinese variation of the game of Chess, pieces like the Queen and Bishop are replaced by Counsellors, Ministers, and Cannon. Pieces behave differently than their European counterparts and even the board is set up differently. Two things remain the same: the ultimate goal of checkmating the opposing player's king and the Battlechess style animated battles that occur when two pieces contend for the same spot on the board.</p>

<p>The Sargon series were the connoisseur's chess games at the time. This edition includes variable move times, ranging from 5 seconds to infinity. Moves can be undone and you can swap sides during the game. The search feature displays its calculations as you play, which can be useful to learn from. Special tactical situations, opening move sequences and checkmate practices can be loaded in for learning purposes.</p>

<p>Cybergenic Ranger is a side-scrolling shoot'em up arcade game where you must shoot your way to success. You have to explore 7 different planets to collect some pods and discover the secret of the "7th Planet".</p>

<p>On December 16, 1944 in the twilight of the Third Reich, Hitler played his last desperate gamble and launched a massive surprise assault against the thin allied lines in the Ardennes forest of Belgium and Luxembourg. As the German Commander your goal is to cross the Ardennes forest and get to the other side of the Meuse River. With division/regiment sized forces you must storm thru the allied forces taking as many towns as possible. If you choose to command the allied forces your goal is the same as the American commander in 1944. Hold out against the attacking Germans until reinforcements arrive while keeping the enemy from taking towns and exiting from the map. The game lasts 15 turns. Each turn historically representing one day. The game can be played solitaire or against another individual.</p>

<p><em>Revelation</em> is an abstract puzzle game based around cracking codes on safes. Each of the 80-plus levels is a top-down view of an arrangement of locks and dials, which must be aligned to unlock each section by having identical colors touching each other. Not all locks can be moved, however, and all of this must be done within a time limit. Your time to collect the gold (by opening each of the 9 doors in sequence in the hope of finding lots of bling) is limited by how long you took to crack the code. There is a bonus game to unlock, as well as extra lives and special power-ups. A password system ensures that a level need only be cleared once.</p>

<p><em>Cartel$ &amp; Cutthroat$</em> is notable for being one of the first business sims in existence. 1-8 players compete for profit in this simulation of cut-throat competition that is a simulation of the basic tenets in finance and economics. Understanding these concepts is key to winning the game, which involving setting your production level and price where marginal costs equal marginal revenues, borrow funds when prime rates are low to expand, and minimize cost per unit. You must also pay careful attention to the state of the economy and consumers' tastes, both of which change constantly. If you're unsure of what to do, your advisor in the game will guide you in the right direction.</p>

<p><em>Sky Shark</em> is a top-down shooter similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1317/raiden/">Raiden</a>. You start off with four lives and three bombs. With that (you can get more lives at certain point intervals, and more bombs can be found), you, the "Sky Shark" of your squadron, blast through five levels of enemy-infested battlefields with as many as six gun upgrades (Aside from the bombs and the gun upgrade, there are no other weapons to be found at all). Includes three difficulty levels and two-player support.</p>

<p>This is an add-on disk for <a href="/search/?q=Dungeon+Keeper">Dungeon Keeper</a> featuring 15 new single player missions, 15 new multiplayer missions, slightly better graphics, improved artificial intelligence and a few new features.</p>

<p>The famous fantasy-themed board game was converted into an isometric-viewed role-playing game in which the evil Wizard Morcar must be defeated. You take control of a wizard, a dwarf, a barbarian, and an elf, each with different strengths and weaknesses, who each start the 14 missions from opposite sides of the board.</p>
<p>Strict turn-based movement rules apply, as actions other than movement can only be carried out before or after the move, the size of which is limited by a dice roll. These moves are carried out using an icon-based system. Characters can fight the many monsters which lurk, or cast spells to vanquish them. There are magic potions to uncover, but also hidden traps, so mapping is advised. Treasure can be collected and traded at the shop after each level.</p>

<p>In the year 2090, Earth is invaded by extra-terrestrials. The World Alliance of Nations has developed a supersonic attack fighter, Raiden, to defend the Earth. A pilot must take control of the experimental fighter to destroy the alien warships that just happen to look like odd variations of typical military tanks and planes with gadgets attached to them. </p>
<p><em>Raiden</em> (called Raiden Trad on the Genesis and SNES) is an over-head vertical-scrolling shooter, based on an arcade game of the same title. It features two forms of weapon upgrades and two types of missiles (normal or homing). You start the game with several bombs which you can use to destroy most enemies on the screen to get yourself out of a jam. Each level ends with a large boss or bosses.</p>

<p><em>Baryon</em> is a straightforward vertical shooter which features a smooth graphical engine, a short digital sound track and various types of enemies. There are two types of ships, each with its own weapon types, as well as missile upgrades (homing as well as regular, more powerful ones), bombs and shield.</p>
<p>The shareware version of <em>Baryon</em> features only one level, but the registered version promises more action-packed levels with more enemy types.</p>

<p>Your name is Kevin Codner – rescue mariner extraordinaire, answering the distress call of a sinking cruise liner, the SS Lucifer. You set off in your little submarine and board the ship where a horde of passengers desperately need your keen oversight and "shipsmarts".</p>
<p>In 60 levels you have to rescue as many passengers (dubbed the Dim Passengers) as possible. At the beginning the passengers fall through a tube in the level. Similar to <a href="/search/?q=Lemmings">Lemmings</a> you have to find a way for the passengers to the exit of the level. In order to do so, you must blast hindrances such as cargo boxes and bulkheads with bombs or, when no bombs are left, reposition the boxes with a crane. There are also conveyor belts in the levels. If the belt moves in the wrong way, the passengers either can't use it or may even be transported to their dooms, being dropped off into water, fire or steam jets. You can usually choose the direction of the belts by pulling a lever.</p>
<p>There are several types of scenarios that Kevin Codner (you) are faced with throughout the game. Of course the puzzles get progressively more difficult, involving things like patching up cracked pipes to stop a lethal jet of steam from cooking the distressed passengers. You can blast away obstacles and stack crates in creative manners. For instance, you can have them fall onto each other to form a bridge across a gap or to provide shielding from fire. This is usually done by hoisting them onto conveyor belts using a crane.</p>
<p>Each level has a certain "save limit", meaning you have to save at least a certain amount of passengers. This again is akin a bit towards Lemmings, and lots of levels have a built-in time limit, represented by water pouring into the compartment, rising ominously. When the water rises high enough, the passengers will get carried along with it, and they can only swim for a short period of time before getting exhausted and drowning, so you'd better be on time with some assistance.</p>
<p>At the end of each level you receive a password (again, Lemmings-style) so that you may pick up your game from the current level without having to progress through them all from the get-go.</p>
<p>Genesis and SNES versions feature 100 levels. Also, the Genesis version shows a password only once in 5 levels starting from level 5. Although the passwords for each level actually exist, they are never given by the game.</p>

<p>Play Keef the Thief, a promising young thief who finds himself on the outskirts of the Mercon the Merchant City. Considering the penalty of thievery is the removal of certain body parts, our young hero must be careful in his profession and ultimately (among others) train himself to access and steal from the city treasury.</p>
<p><em>Keef the Thief: A Boy and His Lockpick</em> is a first-person perspective role-playing game. It has elements of parody, clearly identifiable from various descriptions in the game and enemy names during combat. One of the goals in the game is to steal everything in sight - at least in the city. The game map itself includes, beside the city, various dungeons, jungles, and an arena, among others.</p>
<p>The game introduces four vital elements of game play: Thievery, Adventuring, Combat, and Alchemy:
* <strong>Thievery</strong>  </p>
<p>The thievery element is based on the ability to disarm traps before the player can loot treasure. There are many houses or other places where the player can steal valuable objects (at least within the city walls). The higher the skills, the more options the player has to rightly pick which course the player wants to choose to disarm a trap.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Adventuring</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>When the player has stolen everything valuable from underwear to gold crowns from the city, eventually the player will have to venture outside the city into the unknown depths of the surrounding jungle. There are a lot of places that has yet to be discovered in the game. Just be sure to be well equipped with armor and weapons. Monsters have a bad habit of popping up, almost always!</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Combat</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>The first-person real-time combat setting comes complete with a top-down radar indicating the player's positioning and the enemies. In the combat screen the player can melee to victory or just shoot them from a distance. That is if the player has the appropriate weapons available.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Alchemy</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>For the most part it's alchemy, though magic spells are also created through this process. Collecting ingredients is one thing, experimenting on what works is another. Sometimes the player may get lucky and find a recipe. Sometimes.</p>

<p>For an inexplicable reason, an ordinary guy named Richard was thrown into Hell. Apparently, there has been some mistake, but it doesn't look like anyone is about to correct it - Richard's own Guardian Angel has left him a note in a telephone booth, making it clear that Richard can rely on no one but himself. The first thing he has to do is find companions (luckily, Hell seems to be a rather densely populated place), who would help him on his perilous journey through this very unpleasant place..</p>
<p><em>Escape from Hell</em> is a role-playing game in which Richard's party navigates the top-down environments, encountering and interacting with characters, friendly and otherwise. A skill system is present, but skills need to be acquired or learn from trainers rather than increased by repeated usage. Most of the skills are combat-oriented, though some (such as hacking, swimming, and others) apply to non-combat activities.</p>
<p>Despite its horror premise, <em>Escape from Hell</em> contains many comedic elements. Many of the weapons and other accessories have funny names, much of the dialogue is humorous, and characters who join Richard's party are popular historical or fictional figures such as Stalin, Genghis Khan, Hamlet, Mozart, and others.</p>

<p>The aim of this interactive fiction with graphics is to escape from the land of Kerovnia, where strange occurrences are routine. The Roobikyoub dwarves have been banished from the kingdom, which is not good as they produce high-quality whisky. King Erik is not popular for this decision, as some feel that ale brewers and mineral water bottlers have influenced him. Honest John the trader and Kronos the Magician play a key role in your journey, each offering sub-quests to attempt.</p>
<p>The package includes a novella complete with map and decipherable hints, which are accessed by typing 'hint' followed by the code into the computer. Therefore, those with only a pirated copy would struggle to complete the game.</p>
<p>Your score and the number of locations visited are both displayed in the title bar. The parser allows whole words to be deleted and unaccepted previous entries to be re-edited.</p>

<p>As a beginner and inducted into the "Guild Of Thieves", you must steal your way to the top - the Guildmaster is there to not only help you, but to make your life a living hell. Worst of it all is you're STILL in the land of Kerovnia.....if something makes it look tough to solve, that's nothing for a puzzle - something else will screw it up more.</p>

<p><em>Elite</em> is a free-form space trading and combat simulation, commonly considered the progenitor of this sub-genre. The player initially controls a character referred to as "Commander Jameson", starting at Lave Station with 100 credits and a lightly armed trading ship called Cobra Mark III. Most of the game consists of traveling to various star systems, trading with their inhabitants, gaining money and reputation. Money can also be gained by other means besides trading; these include undertaking military missions, bounty hunting, asteroid mining, and even piracy. As the player character earns money, he becomes able to upgrade his ships with enhancements such as better weapons, shields, increased cargo capacity, an automated docking system, etc.</p>
<p>The game utilizes pseudo-3D wire-frame graphics; its world is viewed from a first-person perspective. It has no overarching story, though a race known as Thargoids play the role of antagonists: their ships will often attack the player-controlled ship, forcing the player to engage in space combat. Combat is action-oriented, taking place in the same environment as the exploration. The player must use various weapons the ship is equipped with, as well as manoeuvre the ship, trying to dodge enemy attacks. The player can also choose to attack neutral ships; doing so will decrease the protagonist's reputation, eventually attracting the attention of the galactic police.</p>
<p><em>Elite</em> is notable for its expansive game world, consisting of eight galaxies and 256 planets. The player is free to travel to any of these planets, provided his ship has enough fuel for the trip (the ship's fuel capacity is limited for a journey to the distance of seven light-years).</p>

<p>In this sequel to the original <a href="/search/?q=Captain+Comic">Captain Comic</a>, you play a comic book-hero-like space ship captain who "beams down" to a strange planet to save its inhabitant. Your only weapon is your blaster, which can fire a varying number of shots depending on how many blastola colas you've collected. Other items you can find include the pickaxe, jet pack, magic wand and other little trinkets.</p>

<p><em>Dream Zone</em> is a first-person adventure game. A mad scientist's elixir has turned the protagonist's dreams into reality; while in this dream state, he must fight to stay alive, leave that forsaken place, and return to the real world. The game is composed out of still screens, and the player can move between them by selecting four directions. The interaction is performed either by typing text commands or by selecting verbs bound to function keys. Among those verbs are traditional "Look", "Talk", as well as the more unorthodox commands such as "Buy" or "Hit".</p>

<p><em>Mega Man X</em> is a robot designed by Dr. Light to choose his own path in life. Years after he is created, Dr. Cain finds X and mimics his design to create a race of such robots called reploids. When the sigma virus infects these reploids, causing them to commit acts of evil, it is up to Mega Man X and his partner Zero (who is quite powerful, contrary to what his name implies) to stop it.</p>

<p><em>Lost Dutchman Mine</em> is a simulation game that casts the player in the role of a gold miner in the 1860's. The player can freely explore a town and a vast desert, limited only by the protagonist's necessity to eat and rest. One of the game's goals is to earn money, which can be achieved by searching gold in a river, mining for gold, or capturing wanted criminals. It is possible to buy food or catch fish with a fishing gear equipped. Hostile explorers and dangerous animals impede the protagonist's process. Location layout and characters are randomly generated each time the player begins the game.</p>

The holder of the two orbs will be granted immense power and immortality, so make sure you select and utilize your forces wisely.</p>

<p>Setting an early example for the Eastern martial arts motif in fighting games, <em>Bushido: the Way of the Warrior</em> tests your bare-handed combat skills against a feudal Japanese backdrop. The action takes you through a series of themed locations (the courtyard, the dojo, and the cellar) guarded by a multitude of Samurai hostiles. If human enemies were not enough, you'll also find yourself facing slithering snakes, belligerent birds, and even a rather nasty spider. Your objective: infiltrate the complex, grab the treasure items, get out in one piece and move on to the next level.</p>
<p>The guards are all too eager to introduce you to their katanas and shurikens; your only arsenal is your hands and feet, but your mastery of the arts makes them lethal enough. There are three separate control modes (movement mode, punch mode, kick mode) where each of the nine numpad keys performs a different action: this lets you execute a varied repertoire of backflips, rolls, crouches, spinning punches, flying kicks and so forth. You get ten difficulty settings to choose from, including a practice mode which lets you exercise your impressive arsenal of moves without being inconvenienced by opposition.</p>

<p>Demon Stalkers is essentially a <a href="/search/?q=Gauntlet">Gauntlet</a> clone. You must travel through 99 mazes, before meeting the final demon. The game features different enemies as you progress through the mazes, with clues to progression built in. There's a 2-player co-operative mode. The in-built level editor uses pull-down menus, and offers a high level of flexibility. As well as creating actual levels, you can create a integrated storyline and game world, as the text on scrolls can be edited.</p>

<p><em>Air Power: Battle in the Skies</em> is set in a fantasy world in which humanity lives on one big continent. This means there has never been naval warfare and all action concentrates on aircraft. Unfortunately the king dies without leaving a heir and four factions want to rise to power - of course this means war. At the beginning of the game the player chooses one faction and which aircraft he wants to use (basically a choice between light and heavy hunter).</p>
<p>This is an action-oriented flight simulation with strategy elements. The goal is to get the majority of the population behind the player so he can become king. This can be achieved by conquering their cities. On an overhead map the next target settlement is chosen. Now there are three options to chose from: diplomacy (to gather the trust peacefully), besiegement or attacking. Depending on the city's importance the player has to solve several missions in optional order - the goals range from escort missions over liberating the area to destroying ground targets. Every conquered city produces reinforcements for the fleet. This is important because the fleet sets the prospect of success for diplomacy attempts and gets diminished when the player fails a mission. Another option is to attack another faction with the whole fleet - the defeated party gets eliminated.</p>

</ul>

<p>Most of the fundamentals of this game work in a similar way to <a href="/search/?q=Desert+Strike">Desert Strike</a>. You pilot a helicopter or a three-barreled tank through 14 increasingly tough multi-phase missions, each of which is preceded by a full briefing and a shopping phase. </p>
<p>Before each phase you can enter the shop and upgrade your weaponry, paying with golden medals gathered during previous phases. Your starting weapons are the chain gun and rockets/tank shells. Every weapon has three upgrade levels. After that, you can decide how much ammunition for each weapon you want to load into your vehicle's weapon bays, switch between the tank and the chopper (which can only be done between phases, and some of them don't give you the choice), choose one of the three special weapons and adjust the fuel/armor/speed characteristics. All these preparations are surprisingly complex for a shooter like this, and a bad configuration can make the game really hard (no fuel in the middle of the desert, or a paper-thin armor are just two examples).</p>
<p>Missions are set in the desert and jungle as well as over the sea and in snowy regions. Most often your objectives are, obviously, to seek and destroy, while performing some rescue operations and gathering as much powerups as you can. The powerups consist of ammunition, fuel, medals, and others. A scanner is installed into the vehicle to guide you, as is a mapping system and a limited shield.</p>
<p>Unusually, the game only scrolls vertically even though you have full directional movement. When you rotate the direction the ground moves underneath you, ensuring a more realistic effect and smartly mimicking motion effects.</p>

<p>You have crashed your spaceship on a strange alien world and must collect diamonds on ten levels to power it up and get home. This platform/puzzle game is very difficult and, at times, frustrating, as the slightest mistake can (and will) take you right back to the beginning. In fact, it claims to be "Probably one of the hardest games ever invented". It was one of very few in its genre to use text mode "graphics" which enabled it to be displayed in 16 colours even on CGA displays.</p>

<p>This compilation contains nearly all (at the time of release) of <a href="/search/?q=D%26D/AD%26D-Licensed+Games">AD&amp;D's</a> <a href="/search/?q=Forgotten+Realms+World">Forgotten Realms</a> games released for the PC.</p>

<p>Tamara Lynd has recently become engaged to Jack Tresyllian, a wealthy owner of the Tresyllian Castle in Cornwall, England. Shortly afterwards, she began seeing a ghost-like figure, a mysterious White Lady, who has allegedly been haunting the castle for centuries. A series of events and dark suspicions involving hidden treasure convince Tamara that her life is in danger. She contacts a friend of hers, a young American detective, asking him to travel to the castle and investigate the mystery. </p>
<p><em>Moonmist</em> is a text adventure game. In the beginning the player chooses between four different scenarios, represented by the colors red, blue, yellow and green. Each scenario has different tasks, a different criminal, and different treasure. The game has a built-in clock, and must be completed before 6:00 am in-game time, otherwise it ends prematurely. Depending on the player's choice of the protagonist's gender, characters may react differently to his or her actions.</p>

<p>Following the collapse of Soviet Union, USA began to dominate the politics of the Commonwealth of Independent Nations. Islamic countries started a global jihad against the Western world, and as a result, petroleum has become an even more rare and valuable resource. In a chain of events, Alaska declared independence, and major powers of the world began fighting over its oil-rich territory. Japan turned into the world's most powerful nation, while United States and the Catholic Church were weakened; by the year 2011, humanity's dreams of unification have become completely shattered, and the fate of the world was decided by mercenary organizations.</p>
<p>Similar to <a href="/search/?q=Wing+Commander">Wing Commander</a> in gameplay style and visual presentation, <em>Strike Commander</em> is a flight simulator with action-oriented combat. You lead a rag-tag mercenary fighter squadron known as the Wildcats, trying to make a living in a dangerous, chaotic world. Somewhat simplified dogfights in your blackmarket-purchased F-16s are supplemented by interactive cutscenes where you converse with your teammates, or go into town to buy new contracts.</p>

<p>In the 14th century, England has a presence in France, and as Charles, it's up to you to get rid of them. You are heir to the throne, and will have power if you can recapture the city of Rheims from the English, with Joan's help as everybody else thinks it's a lost cause.</p>
<p>Combat is one major aspect of this arcade-strategy hybrid. Armies are made up of archers, cavalry and foot soldiers, whose movement and firing angle must be controlled. Storming a city also involves defeating some staunch defences.</p>
<p>Once you have overall control, your goal is to reunite France, by retaking each city in turn. You must raise taxes so as to have the adequate funds (but don't let provinces become unhappy, they can rebel), and use this money to fund a big army. Sometimes the pen is mightier than the sword though - many devious diplomatic tactics are available, including bribery and poison.</p>

<p>This compendium features all eight games on 1 CD.</p>

<p><em>Eternam</em> is a combination of 3rd-person graphic adventure gameplay with 1st-person 3D travel sections, interspersed with plenty of cartoon animations.</p>
<p>You are Don Jonz, a marshal in the United Forces of Orion. After plenty of courageous deeds and macho heroics, he really needs a break. Luckily, there is something in the mail... it seems he has just won a free trip to the galaxy's best and most luxurious planet-sized fun park: Eternam!</p>
<p>After high-tailing it to his leisure-packed holiday destination and slipping into a strange 'barbarian' costume, Don Jonz is a little dismayed to find that this was all one big trap, set up by his arch-nemesis, the accursed Mikhal Nuke. He is now stuck on Eternam, with its life-size reconstructions of past eras and meticulously crafted bio-beings and who knows what is going to happen? Luckily, there is one person on his side: Tracy, one of Eternam's best computer technicians. In order to escape Mikhal Nuke's clutches, she had to transform herself into electronic impulses and hide inside the computer system, but at least she will be there for you in digital form.</p>
<p>There is a whole network of islands to traverse, each with its own reconstructed time zone and sense of hospitality. There is a lot of ground to cover before Don Jonz can get to Mikhal Nuke. If he survives, Don Jonz will need another holiday after this...</p>

<p><em>Mortality Bytes</em> casts players again in the role of Rincewind, from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Discworld+1">the first game</a>.</p>
<p>Death, the grim reaper, who normally ushers the Discworld inhabitants into the afterlife, is on an extended vacation. This means that those whose "time is up" are faltering around in limbo. Now it's up to Rincewind to bring him back or suffer the fate of immortality.</p>
<p>Gameplay is divided into 4 Acts. There are many locations to explore and a multitude of obstacles in Rincewind's path to overcome. Conversations with characters and interaction with inventory objects is necessary to move ahead.</p>
<p>The game features unique humour similar to the previous game.</p>

<p>This real time all-text tale puts you in the role of Sir Gawain, a knight of the Round Table. It takes place in a dream that traps you in the underworld of Ulro, where you must learn five magic words in order to escape. The most unusual aspect of this game is probably the perspective: the story is described in the third person, with Gawain referred to by name, unlike most other text adventures that use the second person, referring to your character as 'he'.</p>
<p>The hardbound book that comes with the game includes a novella-length introduction to the plot, which is identified as the first chapters of the story, into which you jump when you commence game play.</p>

<p>This real time all-text game puts you in the role of a Mind Adventurer, asked to journey back through the minds of four deceased residents of your planet in search of the Wheel of Wisdom. The Wheel is the only thing that can restore your planet from the state of chaos it's now in.</p>
<p>The hardbound book that comes with the game includes the instructions and a novella-length introduction to the plot.</p>

<p>In <em>Menzoberranzan</em> the player takes the role of two adventurers (two more can be recruited) who have just returned from a fight against an evil enemy in the Icewind Dale. A drow raid looking for Drizzt attacks the village the adventurers are staying in and takes several villagers as hostages. Now (probably with the help of the captain of the guard) the adventurers will have to rescue the villagers in an epic that spans to the evil city Menzoberranzan itself.</p>
<p><em>Menzoberranzan</em> is a first-person, party-based role-playing game that utilizes the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=dungeons+dragons">Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons</a> rules for character creation, combat, and other gameplay elements. The game is built upon the same engine that was used in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3315/ravenloft-strahds-possession/">Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession</a>. The combat is done in real-time, performed by choosing attack options and clicking on the enemy, allowing the party to execute the commands. Popular characters Drizzt and Guenhwyvar from the books by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/162074/r-a-salvatore/">R.A. Salvatore</a> can join the party during the quest.</p>

<p>In this real time all-text game, a sightseeing tour of the Starship <em>Essex</em> turns into hard work when a dying agent recruits you to find a scientist and his formula, the only tool that will empower the Federation to defeat the alien Vollchons.</p>

<p><em>Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal</em> is an expansion pack for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness</a>. After defeating the Orcish Horde and capturing the survivors, the Human Alliance attempts to destroy the Dark Portal. However, whilst they destroy the portal, the rift that joins the Orcs' world of Draenor to Azeroth remains.</p>
<p>The Alliance forces decide to enter the rift to the Orcs' home world to attempt to seal it from the other side.</p>
<p>At the same time, Ner'zhul - Warchief of the Shadow Moon clan, who has seized control of the Orcish hordes of Draenor following Orgrim Doomhammer's departure (and eventual defeat) to Azeroth, plans to send his forces to Azeroth to gather magical artefacts in an attempt to open rifts to other worlds.</p>
<p>Beyond the Dark Portal contains two 12 map campaigns; one for each side, 50 new pud's (maps) and a new tile set for the Orc home world. </p>
<p>It also contains 5 new hero characters for each side that actively participate in several of the new single player missions. In function, they are simply super powered versions of standard units that have different sounds.</p>
<p>There are no new standard units however, which many saw as a disappointment.</p>
<p>The map editor also isn't updated to include any of this expansion's new features, though third party programs exist that can add these features to the editor.</p>

<p><em>Sopwith</em> is a game where the player flies a Sopwith biplane, trying to shoot down enemy planes and destroy all enemy buildings. It can be played in single player or in skirmishes against the AI.</p>

<p>In the year 200 billion a small ship races across the galaxy taking The 
Vinyl Goddess From Mars to the esteemed intergalactic B Movie convention. 
In mid transit, a meteor shower strikes without warning and the ship is 
engulfed in a sea of rocks and debris. Badly damaged by the cosmic storm,
the ship careens off course. Desperately, The Vinyl Goddess twists knobs and 
pulls levers to regain control. The best that she can hope for is to eject 
and let the ship crash land on the strange planet below. It's up to you
to help the lovely goddess find and repair her ship and collect all of her 
belongings before it's to late to reach the convention.</p>
<p><em>Vinyl Goddess From Mars</em> is a platform game similar in design and gameplay to the older <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/774/jill-of-the-jungle/">Jill of the Jungle</a>, or alternatively <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/501/gods/">Gods</a>. As Vinyl, you must progress through levels and episodes and eventually repair your broken vessel.</p>

<p>One of the classic puzzle games.  Tells the story of the Fool, who wanders throughout the land solving puzzles to break the enchantments, discover the land's treasures, and undo evil.  Features word searches, cryptograms, jigsaw puzzles, anagrams, a Tarot-based card game, and lots of other bizarre puzzles.  Also includes an animated intro, and extended finale animation as separate executables (but you have to win before it'll let you run the finale).</p>

<p><em>Sango Fighter</em> is a versus fighting game set in the Three Kingdoms era in China. The player can choose between five different characters from the time period, and fight other characters in either a one-on-one combat or a story mode. </p>
<p>The story is loosely based on real historical events of the Three Kingdoms era: towards the end of the Han Dynasty, China was controlled by the Emperor Ling, who was in turn controlled by ten of his servants in the royal palace. This created a convenient atmosphere for bandits, and the land was in turmoil. Then the Emperor ordered the ten dukes to take it on themselves to restore peace in the land, but the dukes instead fought amongst themselves. Finally, the duke Cao Cao took the Emperor captive and he now controls the realm. The player, however, must use five fighters to take on Cao Cao's forces and restore equilibrium to the land.</p>

<p>Freakin' Funky Fuzzballs is a little puzzle game where you step into square worlds defending your Fuzzball from the enemy while trying to get all the keys or cards to 
enter the next level. In each level (of a total of 15 in five different worlds) you can get different items and goodies which will help you to accomplish your goal...</p>

<p>You play single player or against the computer, flying a sopwith biplane, and trying to shoot down the enemy planes and destroy all the enemy buildings. Sopwith II is an update to Sopwith that adds gravity, smoother graphics, birds and oxen, recording and playback of games, multiple levels, and runs at the right speed on modern machines.</p>
<p>A classic game that has developed a small cult following. </p>

<p>A puzzle game, similar in design to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=The+Fool's+Errand">The Fool's Errand</a>. Follow the Mallards, Mom, Dad, Tiffany, and Blip, on their journey to all 50 states, solving puzzles at two tourist traps in each state to find tacky souvenirs needed for the final puzzle. Solving puzzles reveals the Mallards' wacky diary entries and tourist trap trivia.</p>
<p>Puzzles include Block Crosswords, Crosstics, Crosswords, Cryptograms, Hangman, Jigsaw, Anagrams, Rebuses, Mazes, Magic Squares, Word Searches, and others.</p>

<p>With the full support of Scuderia Ferrari, Formula One racing was recreated in detail in this simulation, with the top drivers and teams of 1986 to compete against for the most successful F1 team of all. You job does not start at the racetrack; perfecting the car at the Maranello factory, in the wind tunnel to sort aerodynamics, and at the test track of Fiorano, is all required to get the most competitive car you can.</p>
<p>You can jump straight into the races however, either as one-offs or a full championship season. Races can last from 18km to the full 300+km distance, with all the practice and qualifying sessions. Car setup at the track involves selecting wing settings, tyre compounds, fuel usage (important in the days of turbocharged engines) and the like. The action is viewed from inside the cockpit, with rear-view mirrors to help prevent collisions.</p>

<p><em>Extreme Assault</em> is an arcade shooting game in which the player takes control of two different vehicles: a fictional Sioux AH-23 Attack Helicopter and a T1 assault tank. Using these vehicles the player must fight alien forces who have set up secret operations on Earth.</p>
<p>Players can blast their way through completely 3D environments through various different missions. There's little story, but lots of action. The player can blow up pretty much anything. There's multiple difficulty levels and the player can select between multiple camera angles to behold the carnage.</p>

<p>An alien vessel had approached earth along an elliptical orbit, at first mistaken for a comet, and launched pods at the surface. These pods disembarked giant alien robots which then carved out a path of destruction, attacking cities and removing life. In desperation, the world unleashed it's nuclear arsenal to stop the robots, in the process adding to the devastation. The broken remains of humanity gathered the pieces of the destroyed robot invaders and learned enough of it's manufacturing and design to copy the designs and build their own. Manufacturing their own armies, they prepare to repel an anticipated invasion that will come with the alien vessel's second pass....</p>
<p><em>Ultrabots</em> is a single player first person robot simulation game. The player sits in the cockpit of one of the robotic fighter and is able to attack with weapons specific to that model. The player can instantly switch his location between any robot currently in play via a strategy map. There are three different models of these robotic assault machines. The Humanoid model is the main fighting model and average speed, The Scorpion model is slow, has a powerful stinger tail weapon and can lay down or dismantle the power grid. The Scout model is the fastest type but has light weaponry. These robots only operate within a certain proximity of the "power grid" and function only on a limited amount of battery power when leaving it's proximity. The power grid can only be extended through use of the Scorpion robot which should be protected due to it's slow speed and vulnerability. Each damaged robot can be repaired at the player's base after a short delay. Success on each map comes when one side is able to reach the enemy's base and destroy it, halting any further production.</p>

<p>Predecessor to the highly successful (and more complex) <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2146/fantasy-empires/">Fantasy Empires</a>. A tactical and strategic turn-based game of robotic combat, land conquest, and city siege.</p>

<p>Command giant HERCs in head-to-head combat over network / modem or against the computer. </p>
<p>The two-player aspect of this game (network or modem) was ahead of its time as a predecessor to NetMech. It would run respectably on a 486-33 as well, which was a bonus for its time. </p>
<p>Note that this was apparently never designed to satisfy single-player urges, but was meant from the outset as a two-player head-to-head game.</p>

<p>Command heavily-armed HERCs against relentless automated Cybrids (Cyborg Hybrids; intelligent creatures designed by mankind, who rebelled against us) in this <a href="/search/?q=MechWarrior">MechWarrior</a>-ish first-person simulation. Earthsiege is not a product of FASA's BattleTech universe (as the <a href="/search/?q=MechWarrior">MechWarrior</a> games are), though the resemblances are too close for legal comfort. </p>
<p>You control your HERC in 45 missions on varied terrain ranging from slaughter to escort to protection. Note that the game should ideally be controlled by more than just the keyboard for best play value. Full Motion Video clips from your commander detail your missions while keeping you in touch with the bigger picture as the war develops.</p>
<p>What you do outside the cockpit is also of great importance. Customize your units by choosing their weapons, and targetting research on the right new technology. Manage resources by collecting salvageable metals, and more to beat back the Cybrid invasion.</p>

<p>It is the ninth century, and Camelot, the legendary castle ruled by King Arthur, has fallen under a curse. Famine and drought plague the kingdom because of the love triangle between the king, his wife Gwenhyver, and the knight Launcelot. It appears that only the mysterious Holy Grail can restore Camelot, and three knights - Launcelot, Gawaine, and Galahad - embark on a journey to find it, and soon disappear without trace. King Arthur leaves his castle in search of the missing knights, hoping to locate the Grail as well. His quest takes him to real and mythical locations in England, and later to Jerusalem and other areas of the Holy Land.</p>
<p><em>Conquests of Camelot</em> is an adventure game that requires the player to input text commands, mostly by combining verbs and objects (such as "look man", "take purse", etc.). A few commands (such as "ask about") have keyboard shortcuts. Unlike most other adventures, the game does not focus extensively on inventory-based puzzles. Rather, it presents a diverse array of tasks depending on concrete situations. These involve exploration, solving riddles, gathering information, participating in arcade sequences such as jousting, and others. Rudimentary money management is present as well. </p>
<p>Many problems have different solutions, and it is possible to reach the final part of the game even without having completed some of the essential quests (e.g. failing to save the knights). However, Arthur is being judged by the game in three different categories: skill (referring to the action sequences), wisdom (evaluating the amount of cultural information gathered), and soul (determining the moral value of Arthur's action). Failure to achieve a high score in the last category leads to a bad ending.</p>
<p>The game is set in a concrete historical period, but adds an alternate reality to it, assuming that pagan deities really existed, but were overshadowed by Christian worship. However, there are only a few references to real religious practices of the time or any historical characters.</p>

<p>Patrolman Alex Murphy was killed on the streets of Detroit. The major corporation there, Omni Consumer Products (OCP) saw an opportunity to sell a new kind of law enforcement officer to the troubled city. They took what was left of Murphy, encased it in titanium armor, wiped his memory and created RoboCop. Now it's up to RoboCop to clean the streets of Detroit and eliminate the one responsible for his murder, Clarence Boddicker. But it looks like Clarence might not be the kingpin of this town...</p>
<p>Based on the 1987 movie of the same name, <em>RoboCop</em> allows the player to control RoboCop. The majority of the game is a side scroller. RoboCop can punch unarmed citizens and shoot armed citizens. He can move left, right and duck but can not jump. Different weapons can be picked up from enemies, and power-ups to restore health and/or energy. Following levels, RoboCop will have to match a criminal's face to the proper mugshot and engage in a first-person shooting bonus round.</p>
<p>Amiga and Atari ST versions are faithful to the original level design of the Arcade game, but they also add first-person rescue hostage scenarios, and a mini-game where the player needs to match the suspects' faces</p>

<p><em>Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance</em> is a strategy role-playing game based on TSR's <em>Birthright</em> world of Anuire. It combines first person dungeon and castle quests, tactical real-time graphical battles, and complex economic and diplomatic strategy. Play against challenging computer opponents or other cunning human players.</p>

<p>Moonwalker is broken up into 4 levels. 
The first level has you walking around avoiding fans trying to find parts of a rabbit costume needed to disguise yourself from your fans. You then need to find the waiting motorbike to escape to level 2 - Michaelsville.
Here you need to find orbs which transform your bike into the glittering Stratus car able to leap barriers. If you get far enough you escape via a jetski.
Level 3 has you defending yourself in Club 30 against Mr Big's task force.
And the final level has you in an arena fighting Mr Big's Storm Troopers and plasma cannon as Moonwalker himself - survive and save the children.</p>

<p>A huge enemy fleet has invaded the southern shore of the U.S. Dozens of tanks and helicopter gun-ships are rolling over Tampa, Florida and through Atlanta, Georgia. Squadrons of enemy fighters are swarming through the air over South Carolina and are heading for Washington, D.C. For the first time in more than 100 years, a foreign power is invading our proud land!</p>
<p>You are the only remaining fighter pilot, and you have the last three ACE Mark 2.1 Multi-Role All-Weather-All-Terain (AWAT) combat aircraft. Each is housed in one of our three remaining air bases.</p>
<p>You must fly sorties from our bases, and attack and destroy the numerically superior enemy air and ground forces. Only then can you attempt to destroy their nearly invincible navy. Good Luck! The future of the free world hangs in the balance...</p>

<p>Guide your drilling bit through the underground tunnels and collect the dots of oil. Be sure to avoid the underground pests in the eight levels and beyond. With each completed level you get to see a small movie of Slater the "Petrosaur" in his antics in this remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1427/oils-well/">the original</a>.</p>

<p><em>Realms of the Haunting</em> is a combination of first-person shooter and three-dimensional adventure game with quite a bit of live-action Full Motion Video thrown in to boot. Navigation through the game world is done through a FPS interface very similar to <a href="/search/?q=Doom"> Doom</a>; however there's also a free-floating cursor controlled by the mouse which you can use to interact with the various objects around you. There's also an inventory system and quite a few object related puzzles. The game has standard Doom-ish combat against a variety of monsters, however the combat is placed at intervals rather than throughout the game, and the emphasis is more on exploration and atmosphere.</p>
<p>The game's plot starts out as a typical haunted house story but soon mutates into an end-of-the-world tale combining New Age pseudo-philosophy and biblical Revelations. You take the part of Adam Randall, a pastor's son who is sent to investigate a haunted mansion by a mysterious priest who claims it's linked to your father's death. Once you enter the mansion you soon learn that not only is it infested with demons and evil spirits, but that the mansion itself is built over an old Satanic temple and the priest who sent you there is in fact a five-hundred year old French sorcerer trying to bring about the end of the world. You are soon joined by a helpful young psychic and aided by the ghost of a defeated knight. You'll also start a grudge with an ex-demon king as well as be chased around by the Antichrist-in-training.</p>

<p>Dynamix/Sierra's answer to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/1405/lawrence-holland/">Lawrence Holland</a> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/29/lucasfilm-wwii-air-combat-trilogy/">Air Combat Trilogy</a>. This game includes an incredible amount of aircraft and ships. In contrast to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/226/battlehawks-1942/">BattleHawks 1942</a>, this game features ground attack missions and land-based aircraft in addition to anti-shipping strikes and carrier-based aircraft. You can fly for the US Navy, Army Air Force, Marines or Japanese Navy and Air Force.</p>
<p>You can fly in single missions (dogfighting, fighting famous aces, escorting bombers, etc.), or fly a career spanning major battles or the entire war. The game also offers several realism options including blackouts, weather effects, sun blind spot, no collisions, etc.</p>
<p>US aircraft featured: F4F-3, F4F-4, F6F, F4U, SBD, SB2C, TBD, TBF, P38F, P38J, P39D, P40E, P47D, P51D, B17D, B17E, B24J, B25D, B25J, B29A.</p>

<p>This expansion set to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1419/aces-of-the-pacific/">Aces of the Pacific</a> is premised on what might have happened in the pacific theater if WWII had not ended in 1945. Based on research of the allied war plans and documents, the player is given the chance to fly in the campaigns that might have been.</p>
<p>Some of the aircraft that were being prototyped when the war ended are included. These are the Grumman F7F Tigercat, the Grumman F8F Bearcat, the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star (a jet), the improved Goodyear F2G-2 Corsair, and for the Japanese Navy the Kyushu J7W Shinden, the Nakajima Kikka (a jet), and the Mitsubishi Ki-83.</p>

<p>You are the last living member of your ninja clan after they were brutally slaughtered. Now, you seek to exact revenge on the evil shogun responsible.</p>
<p><em>The Last Ninja</em> is an action/adventure game set in medieval Japan. The game is shown in isometric view, and the eponymous ninja can walk in four directions, jump, fight the enemies and collect necessary items on his way. </p>
<p>While fighting, the ninja can use several different blows and block. There are a couple of weapons to find, including smoke bombs and shuriken.</p>

<p>At the beginning of the 21st century, a mad scientist by the name of Mr. K has created an army of artificial soldiers. He conquered the industrial city of Atlantis, and is now preparing to take over the world. The United Nations decided to retaliate by sending two of their top class Special Forces officers, Ben and Andy, infiltrate the city and destroy the enemy base using a newly developed time bomb--Sigma.</p>
<p><em>Crack Down</em> is a time-limited action game. The two heroes, Ben and Andy, have to get through the levels as quickly as possible placing bombs on X marks scattered around the levels. Although the levels are heavily defended, the player has an array of weaponry including a cannon, machine gun, and superbombs. </p>
<p>The game may be played as either a one or two-player game.</p>

<p>This strategic action puzzle game features original gameplay. You control a spacecraft situated on a globe which you can rotate and move around the screen. You must knock globes into others of the same colour, to rid the screen of all the globes. The screen has no borders, so globes can be pushed off the side of the screen, increasing your tactical range. Knocking globes of different colors into each other produces smaller pods which need to be picked up quickly, giving you energy, or they will turn into globes and you will have to get rid of them too. Many of the globes are linked to other globes (or the ship) via string, and the level layouts include barriers as obstacles (and ricochet points), making the Newtonian physics more complex.</p>

<p>Tom Cruise's film brought NASCAR racing to the masses, and Mindscape did the same for games players with this license. If you mentally change the driver names, it can be thought of as a recreation of real NASCAR racing rather than a direct recreation of the film. </p>
<p>You play Cruise's Cole Trickle character (his name, like many of the others, is slightly different to that of a real NASCAR racer of the day) against your rivals on 8 tracks, based on real-life counterparts. The races are all on ovals, although the exact lengths, corner types and gradients are varied.  This means that the ideal racing line on one track can put you into the wall on another. Qualifying is incorporated alongside the races themselves.</p>
<p>From times to times you'll have to pull into the pit stop area. When doing so, you control the five members of the pit crew. Loosing time on pit will make you lose positions at the race. The other racers, however, never pit.</p>
<p>The NES version has 3rd-Person perspective only.</p>

<p>In this 3D Rotoscoped landscape the player controls <em>Rotox</em> the robot, which is required to to eradicate any form of mechanized existence on each of the levels. Each level is comprised of nine sectors, which are not all linked together. At the beginning of each level you drop in from above and get a general overview of the level. </p>
<p>Planning a path from sector to sector often involves using moving pathways. The sectors are heavily defended, but weapons can be picked up throughout. When a sector is cleared of robots, the screen flashes and the player is free to move on to the next sector.</p>

<p>Run… fly… dodge those obstacles, but return fire on wave after wave of attacking aliens. Armed with a really big gun, you have to defend yourself against the alien hordes using your wits to navigate around the screen. But watch out for those end of level bosses!</p>
<p>Originating in the arcades, <em>Space Harrier</em> is a third-person rail shooter with pseudo-3D graphics, set in the same world as <a href="/search/?q=Fantasy+Zone">Fantasy Zone</a>. The lone titular hero fights aliens with a fireball-launching cannon, which can also be used to transform the hero into a flying rocket. The protagonist is constantly in motion, but the speed of his movement can be regulated by the player.</p>

<p>You are The Untouchables in this side-scrolling action game. Play as Elliot Ness after the ruthless Mafia boss Al Capone. You have various tasks throughout the six levels and a variety of weapons to pick up such as a shotgun or tommy gun. Watch out for Capone’s henchmen though.</p>

<p>With the scrolls now in his possession, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1423/the-last-ninja/">The Last Ninja</a> begins training a new order of Ninja. During a training session he is mysteriously transported to XXth-century New York. The Evil Shogun has returned! Torn from his own time, The Last Ninja must defend himself once more with nothing more than the belief in his own abilities. </p>
<p><em>Last Ninja 2: Back with a Vengeance</em> is an action/adventure game where the player, controlling a powerful ninja, must fight his way through opponents while collecting necessary items. The game is split into various levels, each of them depicting a different locale and divided into several screens. The view is isometric and the ninja can move in four different dimensions (he can also walk backwards) and jump. </p>
<p>Enemies, armed with fists and various ninja weapons, wander around the levels. The ninja must fight them either bare-handed or with the weaponry he finds along the way; in either case, he has a number of blows and attacks at his disposal, as well as the ability to block. There's a special weapon, shuriken, which are thrown in a straight line rather than used for melee combat; if they strike an enemy, they'll instantly kill or at least heavily damage him. </p>
<p>There are items scattered around the levels, such as keys, rope, a map or hamburgers (which restore health when eaten). Collecting these items and using them in a proper place is necessary for completing the game.</p>

<p><em>Atomix</em> is a puzzle game. On each level, you are given a couple of atoms, and your task is to arrange them into a specific molecule.</p>
<p>You see all the atoms available for you to move in a top-down view. Down below on the left side is a small preview of what you must get. That picture represents a molecular structure that you must recreate by moving atoms horizontally and/or vertically. Once you move an atom, it won't stop unless it hits an obstacle, like a wall, or another atom, therefore you must use walls and other atoms creatively.</p>
<p>The game contains 30 levels, and you have a limited time for each level.</p>

<p>A drug baron took over Alcatraz prison and now the player takes the role of a U.S. Navy Seal to break in and neutralize him. He has two hours to complete his objectives in three buildings and needs to survive two different playing styles: side-scrolling fighting on the streets and first-person shooting inside.</p>
<p>Outside, the goal is to reach the building in which the objectives have to be completed. Of course, the baron's thugs are not too pleased and try to kill the hero - so he has to shoot back with many different weapons, e.g. flamethrowers, machine guns, bombs, and other destructive or close combat weapons, which can be collected from dead enemies. Similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6939/hostage-rescue-mission/">Hostage: Rescue Mission</a>, he can also hide in the background in certain spots.</p>
<p>Once inside a building, the game switches to a first-person view, in which the player has to navigate a maze to reach his goal, e.g. recovering evidence. To his disposal are a radar and a rifle.</p>

<p>The planet Tuul was a peaceful place, until the evil warrior Sarlac used the power of the Darkstone to take control. Kyle Blackthorne's father, the good King Vlaros, sent him to Earth just as his kingdom crumbled around him. Now, twenty years later, Kyle is grown and must return to Tuul to free it from the clutches of Sarlac.</p>
<p><em>Blackthorne</em> is a platform action game played from a side-view with non-scrolling backgrounds. It has certain similarities to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Prince+of+Persia">Prince of Persia</a>, being set in maze-like environments and focusing on exploration and occasional puzzle-solving. Kyle Blackthorne fights enemies by shooting at them. His default weapon, a pump action shotgun, can be upgraded throughout the course of the game. Various types of bombs can be used to damage enemies, blow open doors, or destroy generators. Keys must be found to gain access to new areas.</p>

<p>Formula One racing is recreated in detail in this simulation. You have the choice to drive a Ferrari 187/88C, a McLaren MP4/4 or a Williams FW12, each with different qualities. Rival drivers also have their own styles and strengths, and to win the World Championship you will have to master these. Pitstop timing and planning is crucial as well, although only tires are changed in late-1980s F1.</p>
<p>You can choose whether to drive a single race at Brazil, Britain, Monaco, (Western) Germany [Hockenheim], Canada, Italy, Detroit and Japan [Suzuka] or to drive a full championship on every track. Every Race includes a qualifying round. The graphics in the game are sprite-based.</p>

<p>This is an arcade rail-shooter based on the film <em>Terminator 2: Judgment Day</em>. Up to two players shoot through future and present levels as robotic killers reprogrammed to serve the human resistance. </p>
<p>Both players wield a machine gun with infinite ammo that lowers its firing rate (overheats) as it is continuously fired. A secondary weapon (missile launchers in the future, shotguns in the present) has limited ammo but deals heavy damage. Powerups inside the game world include secondary weapon ammo and coolant for the machine guns, and are shot to be collected.</p>
<p><em>Terminator 2: Judgment Day</em>, renamed <em>T2: The Arcade Game</em> for home conversions, features seven levels based on specific scenes or general concepts in the film. The first four levels act as a prelude, as the player guns down waves of metal Terminators across a post-apocalyptic Battlefield, a besieged Human Hideout, and through the security checkpoints of the enemy supercomputer SkyNet. After destroying the computer, players travel back in time to protect John and Sarah Connor, while also destroying every scrap of SkyNet research at the headquarters of its manufacturer. From there, players must fend off the indestructible T-1000 until the final showdown in the Steel Mill.</p>
<p>Assets from the movie are used when possible, such as voice clips from Arnold Schwarzenegger, and close-up digital stills of Robert Patrick for the final battle against the T-1000. The Genesis and SNES versions also support lightguns (the Menacer and Super Scope, respectively).</p>

<p>A Breakout clone in which you bounced the ball to eradicate in order, squares with Roman numerals on them. The action is spread over 20 levels and there are many special blocks to hit.</p>

<p>A one-on-one, real time strategy war game.  Conquer the world or fight smaller battles.  Choose your time period/scenario (1918, 1942, 1986, 2023, or ????); the later the date the more advanced the game.  The 1918 games provide only land and sea units.  1942 adds air units and carriers.  1986 and beyond add nukes, satellites, oil considerations, and foreign aid.</p>
<p>You can create custom layouts (scenarios).  Games can also be saved to "film" so you can watch them again.  You can even watch the game up to a certain point and then start playing it.</p>
<p>As for opponents, you can play five different levels of computer opponent or a friend on another computer.  Two person play requires a modem or serial link.</p>

<p>Subtitled "Conquest Of The New World". A four player strategy game in which you took the role of either England, France, Spain or Portugal and set about exploring and conquering the New World: America. This game was historically accurate so if you want to win, best be Spain. You had to look after your colonies, explore unknown regions and invade other players territory.</p>

<p>Welcome to San Francisco of the future - a strange megalopolis with a post-apocalyptic feel, where ordinary humans co-exist with mutants - the result of radioactivity. In this city is also the office of Tex Murphy, a lonely private investigator, kind-hearted, yet bitterly ironic. He is hired to investigate the disappearance of a scientist named Thomas Malloy. A series of murders occurs at that time, and before long Tex finds himself involved in a complex conspiracy of political intrigues and shocking scientific discoveries.</p>
<p><em>The Pandora Directive</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/850/under-a-killing-moon/">Under A Killing Moon</a>, utilizing the same 3D engine, real actors, and gameplay system. The player can physically explore the game world, looking at objects from different angles, zooming in, etc. It is necessary to talk to many people about various topics, and also solve some complex puzzles. The game provides a built-in hint system for the puzzles, but the player does not get any points for solving them if he opts to use it. </p>
<p>The game introduces a new gameplay element: Tex has three kinds of answers at his disposal during some important dialogues. Depending on what kind of approach the player chooses for Tex (especially in conversations with his sweetheart Chelsee), subsequent plot events will be influenced, eventually leading to one of the six different endings.</p>

<p>The first and only game using "The Puzzle Gallery" engine, for which there were supposed to be multiple Puzzle Disks. Extremely similar in style to <a href="/search/?q=Are+We+There+Yet?">Are We There Yet?</a> and <a href="/search/?q=The+Fool's+Errand">The Fool's Errand</a>, "At the Carnival" includes word searches, jigsaws, block puzzles, word squares, crosswords, jumbles, cryptograms, mazes, and more.</p>
<p>Each puzzle is set at and somewhat related to a different attraction at Hazard Park. There are total of 40 attractions, and 180 puzzles</p>

<p>The first game in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/134/electronic-arts-strike-series/">Strike</a> series. A year after the Gulf War, a self-styled general named Kilbaba (Muababa in the GBA version) takes over an Arab Emirate and threatens to start World War III against his western enemy, the United States. The whole world holds its breath as the President has chosen you to destroy Kilbaba and his terrorist army before he launches a nuclear attack on the world!</p>
<p>You must fly a specially designed AH-64A Apache on a series of missions to rescue missing-in-action characters, destroy power plants, blow apart SCUD missiles, etc. to take out the enemy defense while trying to find out Kilbaba's plans.</p>
<p>The player controls the helicopter from an overhead, isometric perspective. The Apache is equipped with three weapon types: a machine gun and two types of missiles of different strength. During the missions, the player must beware anti-aircraft guns, missile launchers and tanks, outmaneuvering enemy fire or destroying the enemy weaponry. The Apache is destroyed if its fuel runs out, or if the armor (functioning as health) is completely depleted. However, armor can be replenished by bringing back MIA soldiers and prisoners of war back to the landing zone. There are also fuel, ammo and armor pickups available on the field.</p>

<p><em>AstroFire</em> is an <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a> variant, but with a few twists: instead of asteroids there are monsters of sorts to shoot at, there are power-ups (two kinds of weapons) and shields (which means a single blow doesn't kill the player character), and players can also set whether or not they want momentum enabled. </p>
<p><em>Episode One: Into The Storm</em> was released as shareware, on registration the player received two further episodes, 'Whirlpool of Death' and 'Heart of Fire' each of which has different background graphics and enemy craft.</p>

<p><em>Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion</em> (a.k.a <em>Dave 2</em>) is a sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Dangerous+Dave">Dangerous Dave</a>. In this side-scrolling action game you run through a huge mansion with many different levels, battling all kinds of monsters and collecting items (mostly bonus points). Every so-and-so points you get an additional life, and every so-and-so levels you combat a boss.</p>
<p>One of the things that make this game unique is that instead of just having a limited amount of ammunition, you have a shotgun and can shoot 8 bullets at any given time. However, you must wait in order for Dave to reload his gun. Another thing that sets the game apart is the ability to aim your gun in several angles (generally: up, down or straight ahead).</p>

<p>Novatron is a PC conversion of an arcade game, which was in turn inspired by the classic movie Tron. Basically you and the computer control motorcycles of sort, that leave a trail of light. Your objective is to make the computer smash into his or your trail of light, thereby winning the round.</p>

<p>The original future sport game, <em>Speedball</em> is played out on a small court with five players on each team, making it more frantic than <a href="/search/?q=Speedball+II">the more famous sequel</a>. The ball must be thrown into the goal at your opponent's end. Any amount of physical contact can be made, and there are no illegal ways to get the ball or the goal.</p>
<p>Before each match you can bribe the referee into awarding you a head-start or strengthening the abilities of your players. You compete in a simple knockout cup tournament, or in individual 2-player games.</p>

<p><i>The American Challenge: A Sailing Simulation</i> is a sailing simulation which features eight courses. The player races against computer opponents and has to steer the boat and sail the trim and centerboard position. During the race all boats are shown in wireframe 3D graphics and the player can always switch to an overhead map which shows the contestant's path up to this point.</p>
<p>If the player doesn't want to sail against the computer anymore, he can trade the sail boat with a high-speed motorboat or start a multiplayer match.</p>

<p>For one to six players, <em>Race the Nags</em> is a fully animated, full color horse racing simulation. Chosen from a stable of over 200 horses, each race has six horses. You can "bet" on a horse to either win, place, or show... then cheer your favorite on to the finish!</p>

<p>Play one of the three evil wizards all competing to find the magical talisman. To do so, the player must hatch, raise, breed dragons, and use them to spread terror and power across the land! Use these dragons and spells to conquer or help numerous villages and cities across the land while devastating the other wizards also seeking control of the land.</p>
<p><em>Dragon Lord</em> introduces different levels of gameplay, which may be categorized as the following:
* <strong>Alchemy</strong>  </p>
<p>The game introduces a complex process of alchemy. Different ingredients have positive and negative results in combination of different types of Magick equipment used for it. Use alchemy to strengthen (or even weaken) own dragons or use them to cast spells at surrounding villages and cities (as well as some alchemical spells for the player's own benefit). Creating a too powerful spell in the Magick Laboratory may introduce an unpleasant explosion in the lab. Ingredients may be obtained through villager tribute or purchase from traveling merchants. </p>
<p>Note: The game is almost impossible to play without the Alchemical Table of Ingredients.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dragon Breeding</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>The player may breed several individual dragons in the castle. Each require nurturing and patience before they can hatch and even more so after they hatch! Use alchemy spells to help strengthen the dragon eggs (or they may not hatch at all!).</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dragon Missions and Political Map</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>This feature gives a top-down perspective of the political map around the land. Send dragons to wreck havoc and terror to the surrounding villages and cities, or use them to explore the region and even protect villages and cities from enemy dragons! Attacking villages and cities may prompt them to surrender themselves under the player's control, providing the damage done is sufficient enough. This is also where the player may control the taxation of villages and cities (under player control) as well as any other information regarding them.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dragon Combat!</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>Though optional, the player may enter manual combat (as to automatic combat) and enter a top-down, side-scrolling (vertical) arcade combat when attacking villages or cities. Here the player basically uses a dragon to burn anything that remotely looks like a structure.</p>
<p>Note: If there is an enemy dragon near the area, the enemy dragon will come to the defense of that village or city!</p>

<p>In order to stop the demonic Principal of a local highschool from effecting her plans for world domination, players must control up to seven students who enter the school and take on the evil teachers.</p>

<p>A one player hack and slash role-playing game, this one depicts an adventurers struggle through thirty levels of randomly generated dungeons to confront the arch-demon, Xaskazien.</p>

<p>As a knight, paladin, barbarian or sorceress, amass an army of creatures to take on the local baddies and search for the Sceptre of Order.  A turn-based game with a time limit that decreases depending on the skill level you play at.</p>
<p>Depending on your allegiance, you will initially start with a different set of creatures, though the king will not mind whether you're his knight or a barbarian. Game consists of four maps, each with more mean creatures to control and meaner opponents to fight, but conquering one of the more difficult maps early will let you find and buy stronger creatures that will help you conquer prior maps easily.</p>
<p>You can see all the enemies on the map and can literally clear them all out, though random monsters can appear in your castles if you leave them unprotected after you conquered them. With each conquered castle (assuming the castle is occupied by the enemy you are currently after), you will get a level up. After two level ups, you will get promoted by the king, which allows you to recruit cavalry units from the castle, then knights once you get four other extra levels. All the other creatures are found outside the king's castle and can be recruited no matter the level, although it determines the quantity of creatures you can find for recruitment. You also have to manage your money carefully, as your army needs to be paid on a regular basis to not desert or turn against you.</p>
<p>There are also two artifacts per map that will reveal the map where the King's Sceptre is lying. The moment you find the sceptre and bring it back to the king, the game will end regardless of how far you progressed.</p>
<p>As for tougher enemies, like the final one having hundreds of dragons and demons, they can also be defeated, but not by the army you can muster in one go. When you're defeated, you respawn back at the king's castle and start with almost nothing but your money, but the enemy in the other castle won't get back their creatures lost in battle either (only the new ones that join their ranks every week).</p>

<p>A Sabre Team is a squad of four elite soldiers charged with some of the toughest hostage-rescue, building-storming and the like that Western forces have ever attempted. In this turn-based strategic simulation you must choose a team of four of these from the 8 available, and take them to victory in five increasingly tough missions. Even before you get into the main gameplay, there is a lot of strategy involved in choosing weaponry, as they make different amounts of noise when used (reducing the stealth potential) and their ammunition is of varying weight.</p>
<p>In each turn you have limited action points per soldier, which must be used for all movement, firing and reloading moves. The maps are viewed isometrically, with a compass used to indicate the directions of movement, and where the incoming fire emanated from.</p>

<p>A 3D Snooker simulation, the most realistic available at the time. The snooker version of the popular Virtual Pool game.</p>

<p><em>Blue Max</em> is a World War I fighter plane simulator, where the player may fly fighter planes such as Fokker, Sopwith, Spad, and many other ones. </p>
<p>The game allows split screen gaming for two players, cooperatively or competitively, with multiple 3D camera angle features. Missions involve shooting down enemy planes, while others focus on specific targets. The game includes a very unique feature for those who chose to use it: the ability to convert the dogfights to turn-based battles fought on a hexagonal map but still maintaining the 3D view in a frozen window.</p>

<p>*Three Rings for the-Elven kings under the sky,  </p>
<p>Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their hall of stone,  </p>
<p>Nine for mortal men doomed to die,  </p>
<p>One for the Dark Lord on his throne  </p>
<p>In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.  </p>
<p>One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,  </p>
<p>One Ring to bring them all and the darkness bind them  </p>
<p>In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.*</p>
<p>September 23, 1418 s.r. Frodo Baggins receives a letter from Gandalf the Grey, telling him to leave at once for Rivendell and to keep an eye out for a friend on the road by the name of Strider. He also warns that the servants of the Enemy are in pursuit and have taken the guise of riders in black.</p>
<p><em>J.R.R. Tolkien's War in Middle Earth</em> is the 16-bit game with additional adventuring features compared to the 8-bit version, loosely depicting the events of the One Ring from the Shire to Mt. Doom. The game starts with the three hobbits: Frodo, Sam, and Pippin surrounded by nine individual units of Nazgul near the Shire. Although the first task is to travel to Rivendell, the player is free to decide how heroes and armies progress, despite the in-game conventional storyline. </p>
<p>Victory is attained by successfully sending the ring bearer to Mt. Doom - how this accomplished is completely up to the player. Additionally, any hero including Frodo may die during combat. If the ring bearer dies during combat, a new ring bearer (if they survive the encounter) will be appointed to carry the One Ring. If the enemy gains possession of the One Ring is taken by the enemy, they will attempt to reach Barad-Dur, Sauron's fortress in the heart of Mordor, which will result in the player's defeat. The player will also lose if the enemy manages to seize three major allied citadels. </p>
<p>Gameplay is divided in accordance to the three different map levels used:</p>
<p><strong>Full Map Level</strong>  </p>
<p>Consists of the whole map of Middle Earth on one screen. All heroes and armies will be shown as colored dots; blue as allied units, green as neutral units, and red as enemy units, as well as general terrain and regional displays. All forces are in the game are viewable as no fog of war feature is in effect.</p>
<p><strong>Campaign Level</strong>  </p>
<p>Most gameplay features of the war takes place at this level. This map offers more detail of locations and units; all locations such as towns, citadels, ruins, etc., may be viewed from here; characters are displayed as figured and armies as badges. Large armies will be shown as a shield, indicating the unit type as well as the shield background signifying the unit's country of origin. Although at the start of the game various character and armies are viewable across the map, only flashing units may be issued orders by the player.</p>
<p>Combat encounters for armies also commence at this level, which will prompt a new window where the player may opt to enter a battle or ignore the event. Combat orders consist of four commands: charge, engage, withdraw, and retreat. The battle when all units of either side is completely destroyed or retreats.</p>
<p><strong>Animation Level</strong>  </p>
<p>Animated encounters for characters take place at the level, either for story or combat-related events. Random encounters will prompt a window to be opened and the player may opt to go there or ignore the event. Objects, such as armor, weapons, and other equipment are also viewable and may only be manipulated at this level (e.g. equip, use, etc.). Some units of the West require certain items before their units may be mobilized.</p>

<p>May 15 1984. In a bar, shortly after a shady deal took place two men enter the bar. They are undercover cops, and once the criminal notices them, he flees the bar, and as his motorcycle skims past town, the pick-up truck used by the undercover cops isn't capable of keeping up when the criminal goes past a fence into an open field. However, while escaping, he left something very important behind.
Three days later, someone breaks one of the agents' house. Inside, John and Jackie Ryan are brutally assassinated by an unknown hitman. Their son Jake witnesses everything hidden from the closet in his parent's room.</p>
<p>11 years pass by, and Jake Ryan, living with his grandmother since the incident, joins the Academy and graduates with flying colours. His parents' death turned into a cold case, despite the best attempts by Lyle Jamison, one of John's closest friends and P.I. to bring the criminals into justice. As he is assigned to the local Jackson Beach PD, he learns that stolen National Guard weapons are suspected to be circulating in the area, and one night something catches Jake's eye that might bring him closer to the truth...</p>
<p>Designed by former <a href="/search/?q=Police+Quest">Police Quest</a> mastermind <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/83001/james-walls/">Jim Walls</a>, <em>Blue Force</em> is an adventure game mostly similar to Walls' previous games with Sierra, where real police procedures are blended into the gameplay. Visually it is also inspired by late <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6528/game-engine-sierras-creative-interpreter-sci/">SCI engine games</a>, with carefully crafted backgrounds overlayed with video-captured sprites as characters. Interface, however, is different, as the player has the complete inventory on the bottom side of the screen and actions (walk, look talk and use) can be reached using the right button.</p>

<p><em>Midwinter</em> is set in a post-apocalyptic world, as the Earth entered a nuclear winter caused by the fall of a meteorite. The titular island has been formed in the Azores group of islands, caused by volcanic activity.</p>
<p>The player initially controls Captain John Stark, the commander of local militia known as Free Villages Police Force (FVPF), who attempt to protect their home from the invasion of armed troops under the command of General Masters. As Stark, the player has to recruit civilians and members of FVPF in order to join forces and prevent Masters from reaching the base located in the south-eastern part of the island.</p>
<p><em>Midwinter</em> is a hybrid game that combines elements of strategy and action. The player selects and controls the 32 recruits as they attempt to protect the island within a limited amount of time. Two hours of game time are assigned to each recruit; afterwards, the strategy battle moves to the next turn. During their turns, the recruits fight enemy forces in action-oriented combat reminiscent of a first-person shooter. Specific and detailed injuries add a tactical edge to these battles. Enemy units are mostly composed of armed snow buggies, as well as supply vehicles. Eliminating a large amount of them or killing the commander of the unit usually successfully completes the mission.</p>
<p>Terrain plays an important role in the game, as many snow-covered mountain areas are impassable, and the player must plan ahead how to advance. The player can use snow buggies, ski, and cable cars to access the goal.</p>
<p>When recruiting characters, the player has to pay attention to their personal relationships. For example, Stark can recruit his girlfriend, but another character will refuse to join because he is in love with her and jealous of the Captain.</p>

<p><em>J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. II: The Two Towers</em> is a role-playing game following the second book in <a href="/search/?q=Tolkien">Tolkien's</a> <a href="/search/?q=Lord+of+the+Rings">Lord of the Rings</a> trilogy. It is a direct sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3870/jrr-tolkiens-the-lord-of-the-rings-vol-i/">J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I</a>. Controlling multiple characters from the book, players struggle to reach the Two Towers on the ultimate quest to destroy the One Ring.</p>
<p>The gameplay is quite similar to that of the first game. The players navigate the parties of characters over top-down environments, fighting enemies and performing quests. Since the storyline of the second book splits into several independent journeys of different characters, the game also switches between different controllable parties.</p>

<p>Command armies, heroes, and special units against the evil Highlord Dragonarmies. Have your heroes quest for magic to help in your battles, use diplomats to gather nations to your side, and send armies out to the field to do battle or hunt down enemy heroes. Play against a human opponent, or against the computer controlled Highlord Dragonarmies.</p>

<p><em>Monty Python's Flying Circus</em> is an arcade style game based on the UK television series of the same name. Players control one of the "Mr. Gumbies" and maneuver him through multiple screens, throwing fish at flying feet and similarly surreal enemies. Periodically the game cuts away to a non-sequitur aside, such as a lesson on "the larch," or a quick game of breakout.</p>

<p>One or two player real-time strategy game where you control armies of Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, and Spies searching for your opponent's Command Center.</p>

<p><em>Space Hulk</em> is a real-time conversion of the original board game by Games Workshop set in the <em>Warhammer 40,000</em> universe.</p>
<p>Players control a squad of Space Marines in an maze allowing 90 degree turns which they may view through multiple first person cameras or using an overhead map. Their mission: to wipe out the Genestealers, a vicious alien race inhabiting the derelict ships.</p>
<p>The 5-man squad (sometimes accompanied by another), encased in Terminator armors and armed with long range and melee weapons, can be given tactical orders (executed simultaneously) via map - with an option to temporarily freeze time (to give player more room for thinking).</p>
<p>The game features 51 missions, including tutorial and original Deathwing campaign. The CD-ROM re-release adds extra 9 missions and more digitized speech (in slightly better quality).</p>

<p>Fantasy Football where monsters pummel each other and dodge landmines to make touchdowns!</p>

<p>The <em>Temple of Apshai Trilogy</em> includes updated graphical versions of three classic <em>Apshai</em> games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23891/dunjonquest-temple-of-apshai/">Dunjonquest: Temple of Apshai</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23892/dunjonquest-upper-reaches-of-apshai/">Dunjonquest: Upper Reaches of Apshai</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2416/dunjonquest-curse-of-ra/">Dunjonquest: Curse of Ra</a></li>
</ul>

<p>A first person shooter that requires you to think things through rather than just attack anything that moves. This game preceded <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/42151/wolfenstein/">Wolfenstein 3D</a> by a number of years, and while the walls were not ray cast, but solid fill polygons, it was still one of the earliest simulations to tackle a human viewpoint with complete, 360 degree freedom of movement.</p>

<p><em>Seal Team</em> simulates American operations in the Vietnam war. Missions include Patrol (kill enemies), Ambush (kill enemies), Demolition (building or well), Rescue (friendlies), Recover (certain object), Snatch (capture enemy leader), and Observe (call in the fire support teams). The player controls a single character giving orders to the others, with his statistics improving as the game progresses.</p>
<p>True to the danger of Vietnam, you can run into traps like tripwire, panji stake pits, and more. As point man, you'll need to "mark" those so the follow-up don't run into the trap.</p>
<p>Seal Team is one of the few games in which you get to see the "riverine" attack boats, including the Swift and PBR's. Sometimes they serve as infiltration and extraction vehicles, other times as fire support.</p>
<p>To simplify gameplay, civilians and VC wear different colors of "pajamas". VC gets black, civilian gets purple. This makes target ID much easier.</p>

<p><em>Star Crusader</em> is a 3D space combat simulator in which the player takes the role of Roman Alexandria who is in the middle of a galaxy-wide war between the authoritarian Gorenes and rebels. </p>
<p>During the course of the game, the player can decide which of the opposing forces to join. Both sides in the game feature very different crafts. The Gorenes has rather conventional crafts for solidly armed and armored crafts. The rebel side features some unusual weapons like disabler beam, cloaking device, and other special abilities.</p>

<p><em>Spaceward Ho!</em> is a turn-based space strategic conquest game where your objective is to start from a single system, harvest metals to build ships, send ships out to claim more worlds, thus obtaining more metals to build more ships. Each system you get can also contribute to research, which will allow you to build more powerful and less resource-intensive ships. Your objective is, of course, to be the sole ruler of the the "galaxy". The game, as the cover shows, has a completely "Western" theme, where the planets wear bandannas and cowboy hats.</p>

<p>This computer adaptation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/3136/games-workshop-ltd/">Games Workshop</a>'s board game brings a fictitious and violent sport to life. The Champions of Death, The Underworld Creepers and The Elfheim Eagles are among the tough sides contesting single matches or a full league.</p>
<p>In each match you give the orders and watch your players act them out. Hire free agent star players to improve your roster or replace your causalities.</p>

<p>All the circuits and drivers of the 1994 Formula 1 World Championship is recreated in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/6244/geoffrey-j-crammond/">Geoff Crammond</a>'s second racing simulation. The game is viewed from within the cockpit - external views are provided primarily for use in replays or demonstrations. Texture mapping and full detail in the rear view mirrors are available for almost every visible feature.</p>
<p>The game has 5 skill levels, 7 driving aids such as automatic brakes and a dotted 'ideal racing line' to follow available on lower skill levels, and variable race and practice session lengths. You will have to alter the car's setup to get the best possible car performance - this ranges from standard features such as brake balance and gear ratios onto more technical ones such as spring settings and the ride height. Multiplayer games involve either taking it in turns on a single computer, or on a linkup.</p>

<p>A very encompassing game that allowed players to issue orders to Tanks, AA units, Aircraft, Artillery and Infantry in a campaign against Warsaw Pact units in Europe, while specifically controlling a platoon of 4 M1 tanks.  The player could jump into the position of the driver, gunner or commander of any of the tanks to view the world from a 1st person perspective, or work from a tactical map to command all his forces.  Characters in the M1 platoon actually increased in skill as they survived battles.</p>

<p>Originally released in the arcades as a LaserDisc game, <em>Dragon's Lair</em> is an interactive cartoon movie. Players control Dirk the Daring as he struggles his way through a dungeon to fight Singe, the Dragon, and rescue the beautiful Princess Daphne. The game consists of animated scenes, during which the player has to press direction buttons or the sword button at the right moment to trigger the next segment of the movie.</p>

<p>Dirk the Daring was a heroic, if clumsy knight. When Princess Daphne was kidnapped by the dragon, Singe, and taken to his castle, Dirk set out to rescue her. Due to limitations of the computers at the time, this conversion of the coin-op arcade game, <em>Dragon's Lair</em> only features the first half of the game, which consists of entering Singe's Castle and encountering the dragon. The adventures are continued in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4495/dragons-lair-escape-from-singes-castle/">a second part</a> which completes the conversion of the arcade game.</p>
<p>Dirk the Daring is controlled by the player, who views Dirk's actions on the screen from a third-person visual. The game is reactive and players must press the right controller direction or action button at the right time to have Dirk avoid traps, defeat monsters and otherwise stay alive.</p>

<p>This game features a set of levels from the arcade version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10396/dragons-lair-ii-time-warp/">Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp</a> not used (unable to fit, presumably!) in Readysoft's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/54807/dragons-lair-ii-time-warp/">earlier home conversion</a>. It has Dirk dodging QTEs through various time periods and dimensions to such memorable locales as Wonderland, a pirate ship, and even the keyboard of Ludwig von Beethoven!</p>

<p>Night Shift is a strange platform/puzzle combo of a game. </p>
<p>Thriving Toy Company seeks energetic employee to operate unconventional machine. Generous rewards in store for you... if you can meet the challenge!</p>
<ul>

</p>
<p><em>(from the back of the box)</em></p>
<p>Gameplay is divided into 6 different kinds of shifts, each with its own assignments (provide power, use wrench to tighten bolts, etc.) You will use tools throughout the game, and will be awarded with bonus items (hourglass for extra time, cash bonus for extra points).</p>

<p>The premise of <em>Baldies</em> is similar to many real-time strategy games. You start with a limited number of Baldies with which you construct buildings, increase your population, and create the necessary instruments of war. There are four classes of Baldies--builders, scientists, soldiers, and workers/breeders. Structures include small, medium, large, and huge houses as well as science labs and barracks. Each building has specific properties that assist in your destruction of the enemy.</p>

<p>Peter Grey is a lonely bookstore owner who also happens to be a huge fan of the "Darksheer" comic book series. Darksheer is a Batman-esque superhero: one who doesn't have any actual superpowers, triumphing over evil thanks to his inventiveness and courage. Together with his partner Stiletto, a former supervillain converted to the side of the good guys, he is the sworn protector of Noctropolis, a city where it's always night time because of a permanent ash cloud that hangs over it, the result of a volcanic environmental catastrophe which occurred decades before.</p>
<p>One night, as Peter is leafing through the newest issue of "Darksheer" to hit the stands, a courier brings him a package which eventually transports him into the city of Noctropolis, where he has to take the role of Darksheer himself. Coincidentally enough, his arrival as Darksheer occurs at the same time as five of the superhero's deadliest arch-villains decide to gang up on him after they are mysteriously released from incarceration. It turns out that the real Darksheer had disappeared several weeks prior to Peter's arrival. It's up to the unlikely hero to find out who released the criminals, while simultaneously trying to keep them from wreaking havoc across the city of Noctropolis - and maybe, in the process, find a way back to the real world.</p>
<p><em>Noctropolis</em> is a puzzle-solving adventure game, with game mechanics similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/22646/sierra/">Sierra</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/72/lucasfilm-games/">LucasArts</a> titles belonging to the same genre. Controlling Peter, the player has to interact with characters and objects, manipulate inventory items, solve puzzles and overcome the obstacles the main character will have to face to advance the story. The game has a verb-based menu interface that appears if the player right-clicks on the screen. It features live actors filmed over digitized graphics; many conversations and cutscenes are displayed as short movies shown inside a smaller screen.</p>

<p><em>Heroes of Might and Magic II</em> is a fantasy turn-based strategy game that takes place in the land of Enroth, a place of magic. There is a multitude of creature types, from griffins to rocs, golems to pikemen, unicorns to hydras, and four different dragons. Each castle type has six different creatures, from the weak to the strong. There are six castle types, each corresponding to a hero class: Knight, Sorceress, Wizard (Good side), Barbarian, Necromancer, and Warlock (Evil side). There are also six different types of neutral creatures you can recruit in special structures scattered about the maps.</p>
<p>Compared to <a href="/search/?q=Heroes+of+Might+and+Magic">the first game</a>, this sequel has larger and more interactive combat screens. The spell system is now based on spell points instead of spell memorization.</p>
<p>The maps themselves range from small two-player maps to huge maps that all six player types could fit in easily. There is a map maker included, and you can multiplay via hot-seat, modem, or IP.</p>

<p><em>Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Price of Loyalty</em> is a scenario add-on pack for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1513/heroes-of-might-and-magic-ii-the-succession-wars/">Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars</a>. It also provides new heroes, artifacts and events.</p>

<p>A game with the feel of a real casino, the player may wander around the overhead view of the joint, and indulge in blackjack, roulette, slots, or video poker to win virtual cash.</p>

<p>You play Lt. Col. Hericksen, an ex-colonial marine who is now the commander of a three-man terraforming team. Your objective is to travel to remote outpost B54-C in order to find the cause of a distress call your vessel received. </p>
<p>Gameplay is a point-and-click adventure with limited, inventory-based puzzles. Grid-based combat is present as well. The player is given what amounts to timed objectives throughout the game, and must uncover the truth about the mysterious outpost's history before the colony's sudden destruction. </p>
<p>The game functions as a sequel to Dark Horse Comic's <em>Aliens: Labyrinth</em>, and follows up on characters and events from the end of that series.</p>

<p>In this top-down perspective of a 'board' game, you have colored rings (blue, green, yellow, red and purple ones), and you must join them together, so they can disappear, and you get the points for their disappearance. If you have, for example, let's take it three rings, and you join two of the same color, you won't have match for the third one, so you won't be able to finish the level, unless you undo your move. Arrows on the table buttons shows in which direction(s) will rings be moved one square, and that's basically how you move the rings. Every level is accompanied by a very nice tune, and there are different settings for expert players, or for the beginners. The game also includes its easy to use editor for the levels.</p>

<p><em>Castle of Dr. Brain</em> is the first in a series of educational puzzle-games from Sierra. This brain-blasting game is set, how surprisingly, in Dr. Brain's castle, where the player will have to beat Dr. Brain's traps and puzzles in order to fulfill the assignment given. The game consists three levels of difficulty what makes the game a bit different every time it is played.</p>

<p>In the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1523/castle-of-dr-brain/">Castle of Dr. Brain</a>, you will have to assist Dr. Brain in retrieving a battery for one of his experiments - the plans for which were stolen by Dr. Brain's archrival scientist. In order to beat the scientist, you will have to tour the Island of Dr. Brain in search of the elusive battery. On your way you will have to solve a plethora of puzzles in various difficulty levels, and even find use for a bunch of pink flamingoes!</p>

<p><em>5X</em> is an <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/69188/ataxx/">Ataxx</a> variant. It is a turn-based strategy game with grid-based playfields. The idea is that both opponents occupy a number of grids and can move one of these grids in each round. Moving one grid results in cloning it (which means the player occupies one more than before) while moving two grids results in the original grid becoming neutral. When moving besides a grid occupied by the other player, that grid and all adjacent hostile ones switch to the player's possession. The winner is either the player who has the most fields under control when there are no neutral pieces left or who forces the opponent into a position without a valid move.</p>
<p>This game features two scenarios (Sasha and Alien Invasion) which only differ in the UI art, the enemy icon and the background image which is revealed when the player possesses grids. Alien Invasion is science-fiction based while Sasha features digitized images of a woman. Both of these scenarios have five levels (best of seven matches) with varying background images and grid layouts which are played against the AI. </p>
<p>There is also an adult version with nudity available.</p>

<p><em>Duke!ZONE</em> is a set of 500 (five hundred) add-on levels for the original <a href="/search/?q=Duke+Nukum+3D"> Duke Nukem 3D</a>.</p>

<p>Electrocorp, the world's leading manufacturer and developer of advanced robotics ran the Leader Project to develop a multi-task, ultra-intelligent, self-aware robot to manage every aspect of the factory plant. The end result was the Supervisor Droid, a machine capable of assuming any form and accessing any database. But when an EGO virus infected the Supervisor's self-awareness it started to consider its need above of those of the company, infecting the other robots in the plant and declaring itself their leader. Electrocorp then sent its top-secret ECO32-5 Cyborg to infiltrate the plant and destroy the supervisor.</p>
<p><em>Rise of the Robots</em> is a versus fighting game. The player controls the ECO32-5 Cyborg and must fight all the other robots in the plant until finally meeting the Supervisor Droid. The controls consist of 3 buttons for punches and 3 buttons for kicks (one for each in the Game Gear version), and jumping, moving, crouching and blocking are performed with the directional pad. The Cyborg has two super moves, the Turbo Head Butt and the Shoulder Barge. The player can choose the difficulty, number of rounds and time limit for the fights, as well as turn turn the super moves off.</p>
<p>The game has three modes: mission, where the player fights each robot in a fixed order; training, where the player can fight any robot in any desired order; and two players versus mode (absent in the Game Gear version), where the second player chooses any of the enemy robots to fight with. It features an AI system that reacts to the player style, 3D rendered cutscenes and the title song was composed by Queen's guitarist <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/41948/brian-may/">Brian May</a>.</p>

<p><em>Flying Tigers</em> is a simple overhead shooter in the spirit of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1317/raiden/">Raiden</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/511/raptor-call-of-the-shadows/">Raptor</a>. In the year 2047, a terrorist organization has developed technology that allowed them to travel back in past. They contacted the Axis powers in 1943 and started selling weapons to them in an attempt to conquer the world. An elite group of fighters known as the Flying Tigers are sent to put an end to this nefarious plan.</p>

<p>Three Vikings, Eric the Swift, Olaf the Stout, and Baleog the Fierce, were kidnapped by the alien Tomator, the evil Croutonian ruler, who is collecting unique life forms to display in his gallery. The three Vikings will have to combine their unique skills to defeat Tomator, as well as a vast array of aliens, robots, giant snails, big lizards, and more.</p>
<p><em>The Lost Vikings</em> is a side-scrolling platform puzzle game with a twist. Instead of one character who can jump, run, shoot, collect items, flip switches, and so on, there are three different characters, each with his own skills. Eric the Swift can jump, run and bash through walls with his tough helmet. Olaf the Stout has a shield which can block attacks, function as an air glider or as a step to stand on. Baleog the Fierce can shoot things with his arrows (including switches) or kill things with his sword. The player has to use the three Vikings as a team if he wants to get past the increasingly difficult levels and puzzles.</p>
<p>The player controls one Viking at a time but can switch between them at any point. The Vikings have limited space in their inventory which they can use to keep various items. Each Viking has three health points, and if he loses them all from confrontations with dangers, he dies (some threats kill instantly), and the level must be restarted.</p>

<p>This was supposed to be Fruitsoft's groundbreaking strategy game.  It's a complex future war strategy game which uses many "time-travel" features that make the game unique.  Anytime a past event was changed too drastically the play would branch off into separate universes and the player would try to win in the largest number of possible universes.</p>

<p>Following the movie series (and released in conjunction with The Godfather III)- work your way up the Corleone family ladder over the span of 50 years, and attempt to destroy the rival families.</p>
<p>A walk-n-shoot game; each of the five levels represents a decade from the 1940s to the 1980s.  Shooting rivals increases your standing, while shooting innocent people lowers it.</p>
<p>Each level also provides the opportunity for shootouts, a reflex-testing mini-game that requires you to kill people who draw their guns as quickly as possible, while not killing those that don't draw their guns.</p>

<p>In this game the player assumes the role of a space pilot named Darrian. One day, he receives a report from a nebula space station, from which he learns that nearby human colonies have been attacked by mysterious aliens known as Xenites. Darrian wastes no time, and sets off to protect the humans and stop the aliens.</p>
<p><em>Xenon</em> is an overhead shooter, in which the player controls a vehicle that is able to transform into a tank or a plane. The transformation can be usually performed by player at any time, to combat particular enemies; however, during some sequences the player is forced to use a specific type of vehicle. During the tank gameplay, the player controls the movement of the playfield (up or down) by simply moving the tank in the direction of choice. </p>
<p>The game features a 3D playfield (some enemies, for example, will be mounted on hills of sort, where the tank can't shoot them). To combat these, the player needs to transform its tank into a plane. The game then switches to the more familiar gameplay style as seen in other vertically scrolling shooters. The plane has to transform back into a tank again to combat most ground units. Upgrades can be taken from destroyed enemies.</p>

<p><em>Aquanoid</em> is a straight <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> variant. The player controls a paddle which is positioned at the bottom of the screen and can move left and right. At the upper part of the screen are a variety of blocks and the goal is to destroy them all by bouncing a ball between the blocks and the paddle - when the player fails to bounce the ball back a life is lost. When the ball touches a block. it disappears. However, there are different blocks with varying properties, e.g. some may require multiple hits or can't be destroyed at all. In some occasions, a destroyed blocks drops a power up which has an effect on the gameplay when picked up with the paddle.</p>

<p>This version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1950/battle-chess/">Battle Chess</a>, while retaining the gameplay of the original release, features improved 256-color SVGA graphics as well as new visual effects and animations. In addition, it has a symphonic soundtrack in redbook (CD audio) format.</p>

<p><em>Superhero League of Hoboken</em> is a hybrid of adventure and role-playing, set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland in the Northeastern United States. Toxic pollution and war have reduced the United States to a state of anarchy, except for the occasional city-state. Almost the entire area is covered by water, and dangerous mutants roam the wasteland. The player takes on the role of the Crimson Tape, the new leader of the Superhero League of Hoboken, imbued with the amazing power to Create Organizational Charts. The initial team also includes Tropical Oil Man (capable of raising the cholesterol level of his opponents), Robomop (an intelligent kitchen appliance capable of cleaning up almost any mess), Iron Tummy (capable of eating spicy foods without any distress), Captain Excitement (whose "aura of lethargy and dullness" can put many opponents to sleep instantly), and Mademoiselle Pepperoni (capable of seeing inside a pizza box without even opening it).</p>
<p>The goal of the game is to complete missions assigned by the Commissioner and relayed via the League's computer, Matilda. Gradually, the player will raise Hoboken League's ranking, and finally be able to take on the evil Dr. Entropy who is seeking to thwart the rebirth of civilization. As the League's ranking and prestige grow, new superheroes with exotic names and superpowers will join up and make life easier.</p>
<p>Gameplay is divided into adventure and role-playing sections. Adventure gameplay manifests itself in the overall structure of the game: to complete a mission, the player must travel to various locations, talk to non-playable characters, and solve predominantly inventory-based puzzles. The interface for the adventure parts of the game is similar to other late Legend Entertainment titles such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/175/death-gate/">Death Gate</a>: locations are presented as still first-person view screens, and the player selects verb commands to interact with the environment. These locations also usually contain shops where the player can buy weapons, equipment and items to outfit the heroes.</p>
<p>The exploration of the game world that contains all the individual locations is done in a role-playing style. The player navigates the party of heroes over top-down overworld screen, gradually exploring larger areas and accessing new locations. During the exploration, enemies attack the party randomly. Combat is viewed from first-person perspective and is turn-based. Heroes have a range of stats (brawn, brains, toughness, and health) and numerous equipment slots along with their superpowers, which can be used in combat beside regular attacks. The party of heroes may include up to nine active combatants. Experience points are collected following battle victories, eventually leveling up the playable characters.</p>
<p>The player also receives experience for fully exploring areas, as well as eliminating all the enemies in a given area (after a series of random encounters enemies eventually stop attacking). Often specific items must be acquired in order to traverse certain terrain types (e.g. deep water) or gain access to subway lines that connected between various areas. Text comments appear not only in adventure parts, but also during combat, humorously describing the course of the battle. The CD version of the game includes voice acting.</p>

<p>Tubular Worlds was a fairly popular shareware side-scrolling shooter which was commercially released in 1994. The game features a variety of weapons and enemies. It is divided into four worlds and each of them consists of four stages. Gameplay is rather basic and there are many similarities to "R-Type". The game can be played by one or two simultaneous players on three different difficulty levels.</p>

Battlespire is a training ground to become an Imperial Battlemage. When the protagonist enters, the place has been taken over by a Daedra Prince and needs to be saved.</p>
<p>The game consists of multiple expansive levels which all offer their own theme and background stories which are learned by talking to people in multiple choice dialogues. There is still the same role-playing character system as in <a href="/search/?q=Daggerfall">Daggerfall</a>, but there are no towns, no gold, and all your items are acquired by finding them (either on the ground or on dead bodies). The weapons consist of the basic medieval RPG implements. This game also supports multiplayer, allowing players to battle it out with friends and other guilds.</p>

<p><em>Commander Keen 6: Aliens Ate My Baby Sitter!</em> is a platform game, the sixth in the <em>Commander Keen</em> series as a whole.</p>
<p>Molly, the babysitter of Billy "Commander Keen" Blaze (an eight-year-old genius) has been kidnapped by the Bloogs from the planet Fribbulus Xax, for purely gastronomical purposes. Keen must set out to Fribbulus Xax to save her!</p>
<p>The game begins with a top-down map of the Fribbulus Xax. This is the level select screen, where Billy can walk around and the player can choose the next level they want to enter; however, some places on the map require the player to find specific items (such as a grappling hook) to get through. On each level, Billy has to make his way to the exit. Once a level is completed, Billy ends up back on the overhead map. </p>
<p>The levels are full of enemies, including the club-wielding Blooguards, the Flects which can reflect Billy's shots with their teeth, and Nospikes which charge at him in hopes of impaling him. There are also many deadly hazards. If Billy gets shot or touched by an enemy, or falls into a pit or touches something hazardous, he dies and loses one life. </p>
<p>Thankfully, Billy can stun most enemies with his raygun. He also carries a pogo stick which allows him to jump very high. Other items to find include: ammo, gems that are needed to open locked doors, bonus items which give score, bird-like "Vivas" (100 of them give an extra life) and the rare Queen Viva which gives an extra life.</p>

<p>At some point, possibly more then once, you'll have to defend your province from invading tribes that don't really want you there. You also have to connect all the little villages in the province with roads and make some industry, like stone mining, grapes, etc. for which you can then create markets in your city. </p>
<p>When you have achieved the necessary requirements, you'll be able to start all over again in a new and more challenging province. Do well enough and you can become the new Caesar.</p>

<p><em>Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons Collector's Edition Vol. 3</em> is a compilation which features three AD&amp;D games:</p>
<ul>
</ul>

<p>After naval combat, the second sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23/the-ancient-art-of-war/">The Ancient Art of War</a> is all about aircraft combat in World War I. It is a real-time strategy game in nature, and most of the time is spent on the overhead map. Here players plan their strategy and set the goals and routes for their aircraft. There are various statistics which are affected by the happenings on the battle field, e.g. destroying factories lengthen the time the enemy can get new aircraft. Overall the game features many real and fictional campaigns, as well as an editor to create more, with the winning condition to either destroy the enemy's flight force, his capital city or wearing him out.</p>
<p>When a flight battle or bombing occurs, the game switches to a side-scrolling combat screen. Here players actively participate in the combat; during dog fights the goal is to destroy the enemy and bombings are a matter of releasing the bomb at the right time while avoiding flak fire. Those sequences can be automatically calculated by the computer; then the pilot's skills affect his changes of success.</p>

<p>The Gold Edition of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/348/tomb-raider/">Tomb Raider</a> adds two new chapters to the original release. The first chapter takes place in Egypt, and occurs several months after the events of <em>Tomb Raider</em>. Lara returns to the city of Khamoon, where she must investigate a hidden temple dedicated to the feline goddess Bast. The second chapter is a prequel to the first, and continues directly the events of the original game, starting with Lara sliding down the slope of the last level, preparing to deal with the remnants of the Atlantean race.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Lemmings">Lemmings</a> has a plot describing how the Lemmings have split into 12 distinct tribes. Each tribe has its own landscape and cultural identity - they include Egyptian, Circus, and Highland. However, Lemming Island is now in danger, and you must complete 10 levels for each tribe in order for them to reunite and reassemble the Talisman from the 12 pieces.</p>
<p>Across the 120 levels, there are over 60 skills, although no more than 10 are in use on each screen. The Classic tribe has the ones from the original and is perhaps the best option for first-time players. </p>
<p>The others range from digging methods such as a scooper (diagonally downwards) and club basher (horizontal), building skills such as a planter (takes time to produce the desired raise to the landscape) and a sand pourer, and various methods of movement including a Pole-Vaulter and a Skater (the only Lemmings who can cross ice). Some of these are only subtly different from others, and their exact uses are unclear, but there are 4 Trainer levels where you can select any combination of skills and experiment.</p>
<p>Unlike the first game, the player is rewarded for saving as many Lemmings as possible, rather than simply passing or failing. The ultimate aim is to save all 60 Lemmings through all levels, thereby earning a Gold Medal for that tribe - Silver and Bronze are also on offer. The player can also go back over levels in the hope of saving more Lems. </p>
<p>Because there are 12 tribes, and the player can switch between them at any point, you have to be stuck 12 times to be unable to progress. The game saves progress rather than using passwords as in the first game.</p>

<p>Based on the original classic game Lemmings, Holiday Lemmings was a small stand-alone game that was released during the early 1990s holiday seasons.  It features classic Lemmings gameplay, only with Christmas-themed levels.  The basic objective is to use the Lemmings' special abilities to create a path to the exit that all the Lemmings can follow.  Your goal is to try and keep as many Lemmings alive as possible.</p>

<p>This game involves puzzle solving, while creating wacky machines.  Each level of the game contains a machine designed to do a specific task.  The only problem is, there are parts missing, and it is your job to figure out where to put what in order to get the machine to work.  The game features many wacky machine parts, including cats, super balls, lava lamps, flashlights, can openers, monkeys on treadmills, and many more wacky parts to get your machine working.  The game also comes with an editor to let you design your own unique machines from scratch.  These can either be for fun, or you can set it so that the person playing has to fill in the missing parts, just like in the campaign.</p>

<p><em>Orbiter</em> is a space shuttle simulator based on the actual commands and procedures used by NASA. It simulates the experience of launching, landing, and performing the delicate missions required of the NASA astronauts. Random problems such as mechanical failures will arise as you try to complete your mission and return safely. This will test your knowledge about the shuttle and mechanics of space flight.</p>

<p>The sequel to Papyrus' award-winning <a href="/search/?q=5028587000737">NASCAR Racing</a>, <em>NASCAR Racing 2</em> uses a new game engine, which improves the graphics, physics, sound, and multiplayer. It also adds the official cars, tracks, and drivers of the 1996 season, an arcade mode, mouse interface, and radio spotter.</p>
<p>It was also the first NASCAR game to have 3D Acceleration 3Dfx Acceleration through DOS, and Rendition through Windows.</p>

<p><em>Robot Odyssey</em> is a logic adventure game. You have been taken into Robotropolis, an underground city of robots. To escape, you must program your robot helpers Sparky, Checkers, and Scanner to solve the puzzles and escape.</p>

<p>Bruno Vasto, a madman, has stolen the experimental SF-2 stealth fighter and threatens to blow up Washington D.C.! It's up to you to infiltrate Vasto's organization and retrieve the fighter to save the world. It's all in a day's work for David Wolf, the secret agent.</p>
<p><em>David Wolf: Secret Agent</em> merges digitized cinematic cutscenes with bitmap and 3D animation to create an action-based interactive movie. Four 3D action simulations are the heart of the game: HangGliding (with a machine gun mounted to the front), Sportscar driving (with a machine gun mounted to the front), Fighter Simulation (with a machine gun and a missile launcher mounted to the front), and Skydiving (no machine gun). The player follows along with the story for a few minutes, then is attacked and must outwit his opponents to live.</p>

<p><em>NASCAR Grand National Series Expansion Pack</em> is an add-on to Sierra's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1607/nascar-racing-2/">NASCAR Racing 2</a>. This expansion pack adds the top Busch Grand National Series drivers, 10 new official tracks, two fantasy tracks, and several patches for the base game.</p>

<p>The film Platoon featured a squad of five soldiers on their mission for the US Army in Vietnam. In this action game based around the film, you take control of these five guys in turn, with the chance to switch between them as they each take one of the 3 hits that would kill them.</p>
<p>The game recreates each of the sections of the film, starting with a side-scrolling journey through the jungle, with paths to cross both horizontally and vertically, and the ability to jump or duck hazards. You will need to blow up a bridge and then locate a village, which contains a torch, a map and a trap-door. The enemy has booby-trapped the area and are launching airstrikes, so the danger is not all from enemy ground soldiers.</p>
<p>The next section is in first-person 3D, as you move through a network of tunnels in search of flares and a compass. There are 3 distinct control methods, changing from the standard motion when an enemy appears (this puts you in control of a cross-hair for more accurate targeting), and when you enter a room to search.</p>
<p>After escaping this you settle in a bunker overnight, and have a limited amount of flares with which to locate incoming enemy, and must then shoot them before they can shoot you. The jungle airstrike from the film is the next moment - you have two minutes to rush into a safe position to the north, using your compass for guidance.</p>
<p>Finally you face the treacherous Sergeant Barnes, and must hit him with grenades 5 times whilst trapped in a foxhole to prevent him wiping you out.</p>

<p><em>Sub Battle Simulator</em> is set in World War 2, with the player on the American or German side. Six different submarines are simulated in a total of 60 missions. You will have to navigate, using five different levels of mapping, and plan attacks based on weather and surroundings, paying close attention to the radar. Watch out for torpedoes and Sonars.</p>
<p>This was the first submarine simulation to include aircraft as opponents. You can choose to remain on the surface and defend yourself with your guns, or dive and hope to avoid the bomb and/or strafing that'll surely follow.</p>

<p>A party of adventurers in what appears to be a medieval fantasy world called Varn is looking for an entrance to the highly coveted Inner Sanctum. Before long the heroes realize that one of the four kings that rule the countries of Varn is in fact an impostor, a creature from outer space. Their task is to find the real king and ultimately stop the mysterious space traveler, revealing the truth about the world's origin in the process.</p>
<p><em>The Secret of the Inner Sanctum</em> is a role-playing game and the first installment in the <em>Might and Magic</em> series. Core gameplay concept is similar to that of <a href="/search/?q=Wizardry">Wizardry</a> games, though the game does not focus solely on dungeon crawling and features overworld areas and towns that can be physically navigated. In this way the game resembles <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/819/tales-of-the-unknown-volume-i-the-bards-tale/">The Bard's Tale</a>, though it has a significantly larger playing environment with several towns. The entire game is viewed from first-person perspective, and the game environment consists of maze-like passages made with pseudo-3D graphics.</p>
<p>In the beginning of the game, the player creates a party of six adventurers. There are six classes to choose from: knight, robber, sorcerer, cleric, paladin, and archer. Each character has six main attributes: might, endurance, accuracy, personality, intelligence, and luck, with each class requires proficiency in a specific attribute for effective functioning. There are also five races to choose from: humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and half-orcs.</p>
<p>As in most RPGs, the gameplay revolves around exploring the game world and leveling up to be able to proceed to the story-advancing challenges. The party starts in a particularly weak state, equipped with only clubs and having no money. The player is free to explore most of the game's locations in any order, and there are few hints as to what needs to be done to advance the plot. Turn-based battles against randomly appearing enemies typically take place against a group of monsters more or less equal in size to the player-controlled party, but enemy reinforcements can appear once their comrades have been slain. It is also possible to try and bribe enemies or surrender to them before entering combat.</p>
<p>The game has no auto-mapping feature of any kind and it is only possible to save the player's progress at inns located in towns.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/49135/might-and-magic/">TurboGrafx CD version</a> of this game has significant differences.</p>

<p>The space traveler and rogue guardian Sheltem has left the world VARN, where he was pursued by the relentless Corak the Mysterious and a party of local adventurers helping him. The Gates to Another World eventually takes all of them to another world, known as CRON. There, a great turmoil is caused by Sheltem's actions, and the heroes must stop his madness, preventing him from casting the planet into its own sun. </p>
<p><em>Gates to Another World</em> is the second installment in the Might and Magic series, and a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1619/might-and-magic-book-one-secret-of-the-inner-sanctum/">Secret of the Inner Sanctum</a>. Core gameplay is similar to predecessor, with the player creating a party of six characters and exploring vast first-person 3D environments, while fighting enemies in turn-based combat and leveling up. Unlike the first game, enemy encounters occur at set points rather than spawning randomly, though enemy type selection is still random.</p>
<p>Like in the previous game, character classes rely each on a particular attribute to be effective. Knight, Paladin, Archer, Cleric, Sorcerer and Robber return, with the addition of two new classes, Ninja and Barbarian. Race selection features humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and half-orcs. There are several locations and items that are restricted to certain genders, alignments, or races. A new feature is the possibility to hire two non-player characters to travel with the party and participate in battles. A new skill system is introduced as well, allowing characters to learn such abilities as mountaineering (necessary to traverse mountains), linguist (for reading certain messages), cartographer (for creating an auto-map), and others.</p>
<p>Compared to the first game, the sequel is more quest-oriented, with various characters in towns giving quests to the party, as opposed to purely exploration-based traveling in the predecessor. Time also plays a large role in this game, with some instances requiring the party to travel to different time periods. Characters also age as the game goes on; If the player waits too long, the characters' statistics will change to reflect their aging, and they will eventually die.</p>

<p>A party of brave heroes managed to defeat the corrupted guardian Sheltem as he attempted to destroy the world of CRON. However, the great battle between the guardians Corak and Sheltem continued in another place - the world of Terra, where Sheltem was originally appointed as a guardian. Revolting against the powerful race of the Ancients, Sheltem takes possession of their space-traveling nacelles, hurling them at the suns of other planets. It is now up to a group of local adventurers to help Corak and vanquish Sheltem once and for all.</p>
<p><em>Isles of Terra</em> is the third installment in the Might and Magic series, and a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1620/might-and-magic-ii-gates-to-another-world/">Gates to Another World</a>. Like its predecessors, it is a role-playing game focusing on first-person exploration of vast pseudo-3D environments, character building, and turn-based combat. The five selectable races remain the same as in the previous games, as well as the eight character classes with the addition of two new ones: Druid and Ranger. Like in the second game, characters may learn unique skills such as thievery, swimming, merchant, and others.</p>
<p>This installment does away with random or pre-set enemy encounters, featuring instead enemies dynamically roaming the game world, allowing to initiate combat from a distance (for example with ranged attacks or spells). There is no option to bribe or surrender to enemies, and escaping combat can be accomplished simply by moving away, unless the enemies have already locked on the party. An automap feature is available at all times, and the player is also allowed to save the game at any time.</p>

<p><em>Ogre</em> is a 2D turn-based strategy game, and a direct computer conversion of Steve Jackson's board game of supertanks going against conventional infantry with howitzers. It plays exactly like the board game - on a hex-based board one player controls ordinary military units (soldiers, tanks etc.), and defends against the second player, who controls a supertank named "Ogre" - Ogre is very powerful, and can easily destroy normal weaponry and ground forces.</p>

<p>Khantun is traditionally a peaceful land, with no army or wars. Former leader Kaimen has turned to using his powers for evil, and the land has not withstood his aggression. The Holy Ones have been kidnapped, the land instead ruled by an evil group of monks. It is down to the player to vanquish Kaimen and restore the path of righteousness.</p>
<p>The game combines top-viewed role playing elements with combat action. The player explores the lands, but when encountering unfriendly people the player must fight, using swords or martial arts moves, as well as long-range missiles and magical powers.</p>

<p>The Avatar, the Earth-born hero of the magical realm of Britannia, has discovered a mysterious black moonstone there. He returns to our world and asks his friend, the natural museum curator Dr. Rafkin, to analyze it. A reporter named Jimmy Malone is eager to cover the story and joins the two. However, the experiments triggers a gigantic explosion, and the group is teleported to a seemingly otherwordly place known as the Valley of Eodon, where native tribes with Mesoamerican and African characteristics co-exist with Neanderthals, dinosaurs, as well as sentient reptile and insect species.</p>
<p>The Avatar befriends Aiela, the daughter of the chieftain of the Kurak tribe. However, she is soon abducted by her belligerent suitor from the tribe of Urali, who knocks the Avatar out. When he wakes up, he realizes that his friends are gone as well. Now the hero of Britannia must explore the new world, find his friends, rescue Aiela, and eventually help the locals sort out their differences, uniting them against a common threat.</p>
<p><em>Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire</em> is a side story in the Ultima series. It is made with the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/104/ultima-vi-the-false-prophet/">Ultima VI</a> engine, and is very similar to that game visually and gameplay-wise. Like <em>Ultima VI</em>, the game is set in a seamless graphical world, and offers many objects to interact with and combine, party management, and turn-based combat. As in the other Ultima games, the player is free to roam the world and visit almost every location from the onset. Like <em>Ultima VI</em>, there is more emphasis on exploration, obtaining vital information through dialogue, and finding or creating a variety of items than on combat. </p>
<p>Some features have been slightly simplified compared to <em>Ultima VI</em>. There are less spells and only one companion who can use them with the help of special totems. Most characters start at relatively high levels and can only gain a few more during the course of the game. <em>The Savage Empire</em> is the first game in the series to use cutscenes during some of the key plot events.</p>

<p>Following the events depicted in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1624/worlds-of-ultima-the-savage-empire/">The Savage Empire</a>, the Avatar and his friend <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/127/warren-spector/">Dr. Spector</a> receive a book that contains the knowledge of time traveling. They are taken to the year 1893, witnessing <a href="/search/?q=percival+lowell">Percival Lowell</a> prepare a space cannon not unlike the one described in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/61309/jules-verne/">Jules Verne's</a> works, with the intention of sending humans to Mars. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the cannon is fired during the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, with several famous people of the time on board. The Avatar and his companions follow, only to be transferred into the mysterious and dangerous world of the Martian civilization.</p>
<p>The second entry in the <em>Worlds of Ultima</em> series is very similar to its predecessor visually and gameplay-wise. Like the first game, it utilizes the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/104/ultima-vi-the-false-prophet/">Ultima VI</a> engine, and is a top-down role-playing game set in a seamless graphical environment and featuring turn-based party combat. Conversations with characters, interaction with the game world, and acquiring crucial items occupy a significant portion of the gameplay. Many supporting characters are famous real-world figures from the depicted time period, such as <a href="/search/?q=marie+curie">Marie Curie</a>, <a href="/search/?q=sigmund+freud">Sigmund Freud</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/268714/nikola-tesla/">Nikola Tesla</a>, and others.</p>

<p>A 3D military tank simulation which looks like it uses a modified Falcon AT engine.  Control up to 16 tanks, head to head option, command the company, platoon, or individual tank parts, three theatres of war, 15 different missions, real-time gameplay and night mode thermal imaging.</p>

<p>The long <a href="/search/?q=Falcon">Falcon simulation legacy</a> of hardcore simulations of the F-16 fighter plane begins here. The plane's electronic displays and radars are simulated fully, with 4 styles of HUD. Not only can your plane barrel-roll and scissor, the enemy planes can too, with Artificial Intelligence recreating the moves of a real pilot. This was one of the earliest games to offer head-to-head play by linking two machines. It comes with a massive manual, detailing all those functions.</p>

<p>A vastly improved version of Spectrum Holobyte's widely popular game Falcon, with high-res EGA graphics, better mission planning, and a head to head mode.</p>

<p>Another update of the hardcore simulation Falcon from Spectrum Holobyte with everything that fans of the game expect, while taking advantage of the latest computer technology. Better missions in this version, as well as being able to fly in an 8-plane force, which you can do while linked to another computer, either by dialup modem or the ever  loveable null-modem!</p>

<p>The original commercially-licensed version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/533681/alexey-l-pajitnov/">Alexey Pajitnov</a>'s classic Tetris puzzle game. Geometric shapes fall from the top of a playfield to rest on the bottom; fit the pieces together, and the line they form disappears. If the pieces don't form lines and eventually stack up to the top of the playfield, the game is over. Difficulty increases by dropping the pieces faster and faster over time.</p>

<p>The evil Vampire, Lord Drakul had been destroyed and the throne regained in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Crimson+Crown">The Crimson Crown</a>. Prince Erik and Princess Sabrina had fled by sailing boat only to be shipwrecked by a giant wave bringing them back ashore. After escaping death, Prince Erik wonders what has become of Princess Sabrina? Alone on a mountaintop, he learns that he is in the land of Slavaria, north of Transylvania... and that another Vampire controls the land.</p>
<p>When tired, sleep in a safe place, or else wake from a horrible dream with two marks on your neck, after three visits you're done for. </p>
<p>This time the challenges are far greater, and so are the number of locations. Bizarre characters and creatures lurk; from town-folk at the local inn who are not as they seem to horrible monsters and cute elks. They player may help others, and they might offer assistance. Explore the Egyptian museum for artifacts or get stuck in the maze to meeting the Queen. The ultimate goal is to destroy the vampire plaguing this land.</p>

<p><em>Omega</em> casts the player into the role of a cyber-tank designer and programmer. The goal is to design a powerful tank capable of defeating opponents within the frames of a limited budget. A successful completion of this task grants the player character a higher security clearance and a large budget. Combat plays little to no role in the game; the gameplay is dedicated to designing the tanks themselves. </p>
<p>The player programs tanks by using a built-in text editor. It is possible to assign different artificial intelligence script commands that control various aspects of the tank, as well as enable communication between several tanks in a group. The player must take into account the equipment of a tank and its attributes in order to design a vehicle that would prove successful in combat.</p>

<p>The Princess Blue was a trading vessel. While cruising through space, it happened upon a derelict ship floating in space. Only one crew member was allowed to investigate the abandoned ship. Suddenly, Manchi raiders appeared on the viewscreen. The Manchi managed to ambush and destroy the Princess Blue. The only surviving crew member from the Princess Blue swears revenge and is determined to do everything in his power to defeat the Manchi.</p>
<p><em>Space Rogue</em> is a hybrid game that combines space flight and combat simulation with trading and RPG elements such as interaction with characters and a quest-based structure with a main plot line. Space flight takes place in two different modes: Cruise Flight, which is ideal for travelling quickly, and Newtonian Flight, which works best for combat and precision flying. There are also three different camera views for the 3D exploration and combat. Each planetary system has a variety of destinations and obstacles to travel through via a top-down navigational map. Traveling to an outpost, a space station, or any other location with the star system can be done simply by selecting it and charting a course, or in real-time 3D flight mode.</p>
<p>Interstellar travel between systems, is done by finding a Malir Gate and using it to reach hyperspace. While in hyperspace, the game becomes a simple 'tunnel' game where the player must manually control the ship not to hit any of the walls. Also hyperspace travel eats away at the ship, so the faster the player can get through them, the more armor the ship retains. While traveling in space the ship may get attacked, or the player may opt to assault any other ships first. </p>
<p>It is also possible to buy and sell various goods, earning money and spending it on outfitting the ship with weapons and various upgrades, such as for example a device that allows it to move more stealthily through space and avoid detection by hostiles. The player character has a reputation rating with various factions such as the Imperium, the pirates, and others. This rating is affected by the player's actions towards them and can be raised or lowered by helping specific factions fight others. </p>
<p>When docked at outposts or stations, the view shifts to top-down, and the player navigates the protagonist through the location in an adventure or RPG-like fashion, examining objects and talking to characters. Conversations may have multiple choices, and a few instances require the player to type in keywords, though for the most parts responses are selected from a menu. The game has a main plot line that requires finding, talking, and performing tasks for characters, as well as sub-quests that may result in various rewards such as money or ship upgrades.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1623/moebius-the-orb-of-celestial-harmony/">Moebius</a>, <em>Windwalker</em> combines role-playing with side-view beat 'em up gameplay. You are accompanied by Moebius on a quest to master the martial arts.</p>
<p>Hostile persons including thieves, guards and assassins will be encountered; you fight them in real time using moves such as cartwheels and flying kicks. This can be played either as a continuous battle, or with short breaks to catch your composure.</p>
<p>The role-playing elements eschew the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8812/ultima/">Ultima</a>-style plan view in favor of a pseudo-3D system. Deism and Shamanism are just some of the included magic disciplines. Magical vehicles help you get around the 100 landscapes more quickly, although you spend much time on foot. The game takes place in a fully active universe of characters such as villagers and giant beetles, all getting about their business within a day/night cycle and variable weather.</p>

<p>You're a wizard's apprentice whose  Master has taken access to your spells. To get them back, you need to complete three quests. Create your character by assigning points to Strength, Intelligence, Speed and Charisma, before setting off.</p>
<p>This role-playing title is specifically aimed at younger people and non-hardcore roleplaying gamers. The screen display is split into a text window, a graphical window and a movement window. A comical mish-mash of characters ranging from knights to surfers await, each with their own part in solving your quests. You must learn new spells and fight when required, also recruiting people and spending money at many stages of the adventure, which takes in over 100 screens.</p>

<p><em>Annals of Rome</em> begins in 273BC and sets you as a Roman senator, with the ultimate aim of colonizing as much of the known world as possible, and retaining that power against Carthaginians, Vandals, Parthians, Persians and all the other world forces. You have a strong army at your disposal, and can direct your generals as to which countries they attempt to invade.</p>
<p>The game is turn-based, and these turns operate in phases, beginning with the economic circumstances of population and tax income being decided - it's recommended to keep taxation taxing low unless things become desperate. The game then updates you on the statuses of your generals, and give you the chance to redistribute them to other parts of your kingdom. </p>
<p>Officers may rebel and cause a civil war - fortunately this can usually be pre-empted. More serious are attempts to take land from other civilizations, which take place in order and include conflicts between other groups. These, like every element of the game, are accurately historically modeled and variable in time-span as a result.</p>

<p>Defend your country from the evil forces of Sanjo in Paragon's first commercial game, <em>Master Ninja</em>. </p>
<p>This is a traditional side-view fighting game, in which you also have many special weapons to use in defeating your foe, such as blindness powder, throwing stars, and katanas. A practice mode is provided before the game itself starts.</p>

<p>A top-down view of two tanks battling it out trying to blast their way into each other's fortress. Guns, helicopters, and I can never forget the little "splut" sound the PC speaker made every time your tank ran over an infantry man....</p>
<p>One of the central gameplay ideas of the game was to play head to head with someone else, either via a split screen, modem, or null modem cable.</p>

<p>What's that coming over the hill, is it a monster? Yes, as this <a href="/search/?q=Rampage">Rampage</a>-influenced arcade game sees you play either an ogre or a dragon. Both are searching an island for an egg that will give them superpowers. </p>
<p>This is located inside a building, and to find the right one you must continuously smash them up, using either the ogre's horn or the dragon's tail. Humans must also be attacked as you see them, as their catapults weaken you. Food can be found to restore energy,</p>
<p>Once you have located the egg, a one-on-one beat 'em up battle with your rival ensues - win five of these to finally win the game.</p>

<p>This was a budget release computer game based on the popular '80s television show of the same name. The player controls Alf, who has to run around the neighborhood, collect items for his spaceship (cats, parts, and a key), and return them to the garage, while avoiding the dog-catcher and the man of the household.</p>

<p>Once upon a time, the people of Holm lived happily and peacefully, protected by a powerful talisman. But one day, their land was attacked, and the talisman stolen. A brave warrior went out to investigate the talisman's disappearance, but returned mortally wounded. Before he died, he told his three sons that the talisman was stolen by the evil Necromancer, and must be retrieved at all costs...</p>
<p><em>The Faery Tale Adventure</em> is a role-playing game in which the player can assume control of any of the three brothers - Julian, Philip, or Kevin. Each of the three has his own strengths: Julian is the archetypal melee fighter, Philip has high luck and intelligence, while Kevin is known for his kindness. Should the player fail while controlling one of the brothers, the next one will replace him. Each brother will be revived a few times when vanquished by an enemy, until his luck runs out, at which point he will die permanently.</p>
<p>Much of the gameplay is dedicated to exploring the large world, interacting with non-playable characters and building up the brothers' combat abilities by participating in battles. The fastest-growing parameter is bravery, which is comparable to experience points and strength combined. Each defeated enemy yields bravery points; as it grows, so does the hero's vitality (maximum hit points), albeit at a slower rate. Combat system is rather simple and is done in action style, with the player pressing a key or a mouse button while navigating the protagonist towards or away from the enemy. Predating <a href="/search/?q=Ultima+V"> Ultima V</a>, the game has a day and night cycle, and the main character has to eat and rest.</p>
<p><em>The Faery Tale Adventure</em> is notable for having a very vast world, usually considered the largest ever created for a video game at the time of its release. Players can explore approximately 17,000 screens of terrain. The world is also interconnected, i.e. there are no transitions between different types of areas. Items can be dropped by enemies as well as found anywhere in the game's world. There is also NPC interaction and quests the protagonist can undertake.</p>

<p>Wait, you say, wasn't this an Infocom title? Actually, this one came out first on the budget publisher Mastertronic's catalog. It's a vastly different game than the Infocom one - you wander around as one of a number of characters trying to build up your rapport with the people, doing battle and working your way up to becoming a shogun.</p>

<p>In <em>Sport of Kings</em> up to four human players can manage a successful horse racing stable. Choose which races to enter your horses into, and which jockeys to hire for them. Details of each horse and jockey's form, plus the conditions, should be used to help you make the right choices. After this, races are displayed from a side-view perspective.</p>

<p>Two distinct basketball games are offered in this package, with 3 skill levels and sets of players. One recreates the real game closely, offering a full league for 1 or 2 human players, which can be saved to disk. The other is faster-paced, with the Flow-Control feature for easier shooting. </p>
<p>Shot time limit and match length can be varied, as can kit and court colours. Long range shots and slam-dunks are all available. The game features 9 years of historical statistics for teams and players.</p>

<p>Wizards Learic and Leanoric have a long-standing feud, and would do anything to see off their rival. As Learic, this is your task. </p>
<p>Collecting herbs to cast spells is the main basis of the game. There are 24 herbs and flowers to be collected, which are used to make one of 12 spells (the herbs are only used for 1 spell, so there’s no need to decide which spell you’d prefer to have access to). You can use a combination of the spells (including a teleporter, invisibility and a fireball, which you must work our how to use). Leanoric’s direction relative to yourself is indicated by a compass.</p>

<p><em>Knight Games</em> consists of eight self-contained small games with a medieval theme. Two are shooting games. The Crossbow event involves moving a crosshair so as to hit one of an array of rotating targets. Once you've mastered this you are ready for Archery - this time you must hit targets which move from left to right, so timing is more important.</p>
<p>The other six involve one-on-one combat. There are two sword-fighting battles against different backdrops; in each of them you must make 10 hits to get your opponent down, and do that 10 times to win overall. Time your jabs and shields to achieve this.</p>
<p>The other four events follow the same formula, but with slightly different weapons. The Quartermast event is on a log, although the action is still only 2-dimensional. Ball &amp; Chain, Axe and Pike battles complete the set. All can be played by 2 human players.</p>

<p><em>Mission Critical</em> is a first-person graphic adventure. It is 2134, and the human race has been at war for 50 years since the Alliance declared independence from the stifling rule of the UN and its anti-technology policies. The Alliance is losing the war to the UN's greater numbers, but recently, Alliance scientists discovered an alien artifact on the planet Persephone.</p>
<p>You are onboard the USS Lexington on its top-secret mission to investigate the artifact, and hopefully change the course of the war to the Alliance's favor. But the UN's spies are everywhere, and before the introductory movie is over, the Lexington has been ambushed and Captain Dayna has been forced to sacrifice almost the entire crew of the Lexington to destroy the attacking cruiser Dharma, leaving only you behind, unconscious.</p>
<p>When you awaken, you discover yourself alone on a damaged ship. You'll have to patch the holes, prevent reactor overload, and bring the ship's computer back on-line before you can attempt to successfully complete the Lexington's original mission. </p>
<p>Until the Lexington's condition is stabilized, there's a real-time clock ticking away (you get several hours). There are lots of inventory-based puzzles to be solved. You'll also have to defend the Lexington from UN attacks in a simple 3D real-time strategy game (which has an adjustable difficulty level if you have trouble).</p>
<p>Eventually, you'll be able to land on Persephone, investigate the artifact, and use its power to save mankind.</p>

<p><em>Shadow of Yserbius</em> is the single-player, non-networked version of the popular graphical multi-user dungeon game on The Sierra Network. You create a character and journey as a solo adventurer into the dungeons and depths of the volcano Yserbius. You see the game from a first-person perspective as you journey through Yserbius. The story slowly unfolds as your character advances in experience while exploring the volcano.</p>

<p>The Soviet Union, under severe pressure after destruction of one of their biggest oil refineries, must secure a new source of oil, and to do that, they must disable the West... which means they must invade Europe and fight NATO to a standstill... And the only way NATO can prevent that from happening is to reinforce their forces with convoys from the US and other countries. </p>
<p>You are in command of one of the US attack submarines. You must hold the ocean against the Soviet navy at all costs, or the land battle will go badly. Part submarine simulator, part dynamic campaign, and part WW3 simulation, Red Storm Rising is an amazing look at modern warfare.</p>

<p>This limited edition box is an introduction to the Gabriel Knight world of horror and adventure. The first two games of the trilogy have been included:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/116/gabriel-knight-sins-of-the-fathers/">Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers</a></li>

<p>Captain Kirk has just received an urgent transmission from the commander of Starfleet detailing the situation on Nimbus III. The starship Enterprise is heading to the Neutral Zone. It appears that the Vulcan Sybok, driven by his religious aspirations, has kidnapped three Consuls, and the crew is ready to do everything they can to rescue them. However, it soon turns out that there are other players on the stage, and the Enterprise has to deal with an ambitious Klingon captain and other perils.</p>
<p>Based on a movie with the same name, <em>Star Trek V: The Final Frontier</em> consists of interaction with the crew members of the Enterprise, cutscenes, as well as various arcade games such as space combat sequences, hand-to-hand fights, etc. There is no save feature in the game.</p>

<p>Reed Hawke is the CEO of a powerful corporation known as Hawke Industries. He has gathered his extended family together for a weekend, preparing for an official announcement that he will be competing in the election for the President of the United States. It seems that his family supports him, but it is not so. At least one of the Hawke family members assumes that Reed Hawke is corrupt. This person hires a private investigator, who will have to discover the secrets of the family in order to obtain a definite proof of Reed Hawke's crimes.</p>
<p><em>Voyeur</em> is an interactive movie with live action cutscenes, somewhat similar in format to the full-motion video game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7276/night-trap/"> Night Trap</a>. The gameplay consists of controlling various cameras located in the Hawke family estate, spying on its inhabitants and hence triggering the next movie and advancing the storyline. A unique feature of the game is the random nature of the informant within the Hawke family; his/her identity changes with every new game, which influences the subsequent narrative.</p>
<p>The game is notable for being the first interactive movie that featured explicit nudity and sexual situations.</p>

<p>It's the classic cat and mouse caper! Once again, that feuding feline Tom and little joker Jerry are at odds and it's up to you to determine the winner in this bodacious basement battle.</p>

<p><em>Knights of Xentar</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16368/dragon-knight-ii/">Dragon Knight II</a>, and is the only <em>Dragon Knight</em> game that was released outside of Japan.</p>
<p>The player controls a young warrior named Desmond (Takeru in the Japanese version). After liberating Strawberry Fields from an evil curse in his previous adventure, Desmond finds himself in a situation unworthy of his heroic status: robbers have taken all his possessions, including his magic sword, and even his clothes! So the first task for the unsuccessful hero will be to get some money. Luckily, the mayor has an assignment for the hero, for which he is also willing to pay. Desmond accepts the assignment without knowing what it will lead to - traveling all over the world, fighting fearsome enemies, encounter beautiful women, and solving a mystery that will also reveal the secret of his own true identity.</p>
<p>The game is a humorous RPG with erotic content. The gameplay is quite different from that of the previous game. The player travels in top-down view on the world map, visiting towns and dungeons, like in most traditional Japanese RPGs. Enemy encounters are random. Battle system differs from most other games of its type by being real-time: combatants appear on a side-scrolling area and exchange attacks automatically; the player can interfere at any time and issue orders to the characters in the party - cast a spell, use an item, or change the attack power level. Physical attacks have a gauge with eight different power levels; the higher the level is, the stronger is the attack, and the slower is its speed. </p>
<p><em>Knights of Xentar</em> features anime-style cutscenes, many of which contain erotic images - the girls Desmond encounters and helps will often feel grateful and award him with some "treatment".</p>

<p><em>Commander Keen: Keen Dreams</em> is a platform game. Its events take place after <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/218/commander-keen-3-keen-must-die/">Commander Keen 3: Keen Must Die!</a> but before <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/219/commander-keen-4-secret-of-the-oracle/">Commander Keen 4: Secret of the Oracle</a>. </p>
<p>Eight-year-old genius Billy "Commander Keen" Blaze, the hero of the universe, the saver of planets has a problem: his mom forces him to eat yucky vegetables. This night, he dreams that he found himself in the land of Tuberia, where sentient vegetables live and reign supreme, and where the evil king Boobus Tuber enslaves children brought by his Dream Machine.</p>
<p>The objective is to reach and destroy king Boobus Tuber, but before this happens, Keen must find a number of Boobus Bombs which are the only things that can harm the king. The game begins with a top-down map of the land of Tuberia. This is the level select screen, where you can walk around and choose the next level you want to enter. On each level, you have to make your way to the exit, collecting Boobus Bombs on the way if there are any on this level. Once you finish the level, you're back on the overhead map. </p>
<p>The levels are full of evil vegetables of all kinds and deadly hazards. If Keen gets hit or touched by an enemy, or falls into a pit or touches something hazardous, he dies, and you lose one life. </p>
<p>Unlike in other <em>Commander Keen</em> games, Keen does not have a raygun or a pogo stick to help himself. Rather, Keen fights his enemies with "Flower Power" - special bombs which can be thrown to temporarily turn enemies into harmless flowers. If they miss an enemy and fall to the ground, they can be retrieved. Other items to find include: keys to open locked doors, bonus points that give score, an extra life and a rare "magic eyeball" which gives three extra lives and a lot of ammo.</p>

<p>The fifth take on the Flight Simulator series.  This version added SVGA graphics, textures in certain areas, sound card support, and two new flight areas, Paris and Munich.  This was the final DOS-only release.</p>

<p><em>Hockey League Simulator II</em> is a hockey management simulator. The player becomes the manager and creates his own team. It deals with salaries and coaches can be hired or fired.</p>

<p>In the future, the Earth is a wasteland, unable to sustain human life any longer. Mankind's only hope is to find a new world to colonize. Giant transport ships are launched, each carrying 10 million people. Sent ahead of each of these ships is a Trailblazer-class scout. Controlling one of these Trailblazers, it's the player's mission to find a suitable planet for a new colony, to scout for natural resources and to deal with various alien species, who might be both friend or foe.</p>
<p>From a robot-controlled home base, the Trailblazer starts exploring the nearby star systems (two different star clusters are selectable, representing different difficulty levels). Planets in uninhabited systems can be claimed for their natural resources. If aliens already inhabit a system, diplomatic negotiations can be opened. Since the resources of the uninhabited systems won't be enough for sustaining a colony, trade agreements with the aliens are necessary. Each alien species has its own attitude and quirks. Not all of them are friendly, and some might demand that the player attacks their enemies before they agree to trading or a peace treaty.</p>
<p>If hostilities with aliens begin, there are a variety of combat options. The Trailblazer itself is rather slow and sluggish, but is equipped with a powerful main gun and a gun turret. It can also launch remote-controlled combat chassis in various configurations: as a guided missile, a kamikaze ship, or a fighter, the latter two being controllable by the player.</p>
<p>The systems of the Trailblazer (the weapons, shields, sub- and faster-than-light engines) are powered by various parts. On the engine room screen, these parts can be individually mounted or removed. Combat may damage the parts. The same parts are used by different systems of the ship, so they can be moved around to improve one system at the expense of another. New and replacement parts can be collected from the wreckage of destroyed alien ships and space stations, or be acquired through trading.</p>

<p>In this sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2099/688-attack-sub/">688 Attack Sub</a> the player controls the nuclear submarine <em>SSN-21 Seawolf</em>. The theatre of war is set during a conflict between Russia and NATO countries. The player has to go through 33 different missions (which can be played in any order or as part of a campaign) on the Atlantic Ocean, Black Sea, Baltic Sea, Red Sea. In comparison with the predecessor, the game has been greatly improved in terms of audio-visual presentation. It also offers multiplayer gameplay through link-up or a null modem solution.</p>

<p><em>The 5th Fleet</em> is a hex-based strategical wargame based on the board game <em>5th Fleet</em>. The game is designed for two players which both take the side of a war party - in matches of a larger scale one war party can include several different countries. The gameplay is strictly turn-based and every day is divided into six rounds (three for each player). Every turn is divided into three phases: submarines, ships and aircraft.</p>
<p>During the phases the players use two different map screens for their planning: the strategic map shows the whole operational zone divided into several areas and the tactical map offers a closer look over one area. The basic orders the players have to give are moving (marking a unit and choosing the goal hex) and attacking (choosing which weapon is used on what target). During longer matches it is also important to take care of replenishment. While naval units have to be moved on the tactical map the players can use the strategic map to plan aircraft movement. As usual for these kind of games everything is represented with abstract symbols on the map.</p>
<p>In single player the game features ten scenarios set in the Indian Ocean or the Persian Gulf with increasing difficulty. There the player takes the role of the American fleet and mostly fights against Russia.</p>

<p>A Risk-type game of global conquest, only with nuclear weapons and real-time action.  Click on various countries and invade to (hopefully!) expand your empire.  Setups include the standard Cold War variant and random starting countries.</p>

<p>The stand-alone follow-up to <a href="/search/?q=Mechwarrior+2">Mechwarrior 2</a>, <em>Mercenaries</em> puts you in command of a small company of 'mechs whose only loyalty is to money. As there is a brutal war between 2 tribes underway, your goal is to cash in by doing tough jobs for both sides. </p>
<p>Buy and equip your mechs, hire pilots, and fight in a wide array of campaigns against rebels, pirates, the Clans, and even other houses of the Inner Sphere. In the Merc mode you will have to keep an eye on stocks of salvageable material, and use this to designate which Mercs are built next, while Story Mode plays like a straight-ahead action game. Internet options include play with up to 15 others around the world.</p>

<p><em>Soko-Ban</em> is a classic puzzle game, the basis of numerous clones in the later years. It is set in a warehouse. On each level, the player must push crates (from square to square) to get them onto designated spots; once each crate is on a marked spot, the level is complete. Crates can only be pushed one at a time (so two crates next to each other cannot be pushed together), and cannot be pulled--so it's possible to get a crate stuck in a corner, where it cannot be retrieved! By the last levels, you must plan 40 steps in advance.</p>

<p><em>Baoxiao Duobiqiu</em> is a sports game that parodies characters and themes from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1384/sango-fighter/">Sango Fighter</a>. The object, like in real dodgeball, is to hit the players on the other team with the ball. The teams consist of three players each. Graphics are done in a "super-deformed" style. Characters possess special powers that can be used beside regular dodgeball moves. The game features several ending sequences.</p>

<p>A fun puzzle game in which you arrange mirrors to beam light onto a target.  New obstacles and powerups keep the game interesting.</p>

<p>An action game where you can be a gangster or policeman. As a gangster, try to avoid the police. As a cop, try to catch the gangster. 3 difficulty levels.</p>

<p>As an intrepid explorer, buy equipments, tools. and head into the wild Yucatan jungles to find the mysterious Mayan fetish. </p>
<p>Two modes are available: a platform mode and a 3D mode where the player drives a Jeep.</p>

<p><em>Colorado</em> is a side-view action game with adventure and trading elements, in which you must survive despite the constant threats of Indians and wildlife. The plot involves a search for a Cheyenne goldmine. The game also has many unconventional objects and weapons that can be used against your foes.</p>

<p>The Sun League has been trying to fight back against the corrupted and oppressive Gar computer for many years. Now they have attacked a defense base. The only hope is for a Viper V droid to be sent in under your control to reactivate the planet's defenses.</p>
<p>To do this, you must find floppy disks that are everywhere in the station to reboot that evil computer! To complete this task, you must fight 33 types of little robots who attack you. The action is viewed in first-person 3D, with directional arrows on screen for movement and rotation.</p>
<p>There are 25 levels, each of which is automatically mapped as you explore it. Use turbolifts to get to them. Each object is managed by the game, and a notepad feature is provided to allow you to keep track of vital information.</p>

<p>As a mystical shaman, go through a pyramid in ancient Egypt to get the magical eye of horus. In a cool twist, by pressing the up arrow you turn into a birdy and can search through the levels. Just press the down arrow and voila! Human again. Many traps try to trick you.</p>

<p><em>Populous II</em> continues the "god game" genre pioneered by Bullfrog's classic <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/613/populous/">Populous</a></em>. In PII, you're an unproven immortal who must fight your way through an entire pantheon of Greek gods, each with his or her own strategy and attacks, and ultimately enter into a showdown with Zeus himself.</p>
<p>The gameplay mechanics are similar to <em>Populous</em>, but PII features a wider array of spells, digitized sound, and high-resolution graphics to give the spell effects extra punch. Multiplayer is supported via serial link and dial-up.</p>

<p><em>Roadwar 2000</em> is a post-apocalyptic strategy game. In the year 2000, bacteriological warfare has nearly destroyed civilization. Crime flourished, and highways turned into battlegrounds between different gangs. The protagonist is a leader of one of these gangs. More patriotically inclined than other criminal lords, he accepts a mission from the FBI: locate eight scientists who might be able to develop a vaccine against the deadly disease.</p>
<p>The player commands the gang in tactical combat against rival gangs, mutants, and cannibals. It is possible to assign player-controlled characters to vehicles and move them on the battlefield. Combatants can use firearms and crossbows, as well as use the vehicles to ram each other. Boarding the opponents' vehicles is also possible.</p>

<p><em>Kings of the Beach</em> is a two on two beach volleyball game. You must quickly move your team about on the sand performing serves, thumps, and spikes to not only out-perform but also out-smart the opposing team.</p>
<p>There are 15 levels and 20 challengers to beat, on famous beaches like Rio, Hawaii and Sydney, in order to be crowned <em>King of the Beach</em>. Both cooperative and competitive multiplayer (non-networked) are also supported.</p>

<p><em>Bananoid</em> is a freeware <a href="/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a>-clone, which runs on a tweaked VGA mode the author likes to call "360x240 MCGA". It features seven levels that span two screens, for a total resolution of 544x240, according to the manual.</p>

<p>Steel Thunder offers multiple theaters in which to do battle ranging from Cuba to Europe.  While actually in the tank, the player can easily move from the position of Commander to Gunner or Driver, offering a significant degree of realism, but still keeping the action moving.  You can simply stay in the Commander's seat, and give commands to the Driver and Gunner and just watch the action as it plays out, although only from the internal views.</p>
<p>As play progresses, the player also increases his rank.  The initial mission set-up screen offers the player multiple tanks ranging from the Bradley to the M1A1.  In addition to this, the player can also choose specific crew members and see their respective "grade" regarding their performance characteristics.</p>

<p>This game follows the adventures of Scrooge McDuck and his three nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie.</p>
<p>The aim of the game is shown in the introduction. Flintheart Glomgold challenges Scrooge to a competition to see who the richest duck in the world is. They each have 30 days to see who can get the most money together and finally their dispute will be settled.</p>
<p>Scrooge’s office is your headquarters. Here you have three options – you can go exploring for treasure, play the stock market or dive into your money bin, occasionally finding a rare coin which adds to you treasure total. You need to get some money first before you can play the stock market though.</p>
<p>Your main source of income comes from the exploration map which hangs on the wall. From here, you can pick a destination, which you can travel to. There are four different scenarios when travelling to various parts of the world. It's these levels that are the most fun. You can choose to go mountain climbing, jungle bashing, search a cavern, or photograph some rare animals depending on your location. On-screen information tells you which scenario it is, how long the trip will take and how much the treasure is worth. There's also an island in the Indian Ocean you can visit to check on who's winning between you and Glomgold.</p>
<p>You have to fly to each location and your transport is LaunchPad McQuack! You have to take off at the airport and fly to the destination. There are obstacles along the way though. Watch out for powerlines (these are really funny, you run into them and boing! bounce back); hot air balloons dropping refrigerators, anvils, 10 ton weights and pianos; cumulo nimbus clouds shooting lightning and fluffly clouds; whales blowing water out of their spouts; tall mountains, rocky outcrops, fireworks, and hay barns among other things. Landing on the other side requires a special skill... Launchpads! You have to crash into the airport to land! Crash the plane though and it takes two days of your valuable time limit for Gyro Gearloose to fix it.</p>
<p>Using Huey, Dewey and Louie, each being one of your three lives in the mountain climbing level, you must get from the base of the mountain to the top to get your treasure. Using the boys, you can hop from ledge to ledge, or when the going gets tough, use your grappling hook! This is a lot of fun and requires precision. There are also caves in the side of the mountain, which can transport you up or down. But watch out for bears in the caves. Other obstacles include falling rocks, the Beagle Boys dropping objects from above, mountain goats, Magica de Spell and more.</p>
<p>The jungle features Scrooges' nephews again. Here you must use swinging vines, branches and even hippopotamus' backs to get to the treasure. Sleeping pumas, snakes, macaws and monkeys hamper you progress.</p>
<p>Searching a cavern involves Scrooge, his nephews and niece, navigating a maze using the map at the bottom of the screen to get to the treasure whilst avoiding the yeti tracking them down.</p>
<p>Photography, with Webbigail, Scrooge's niece, involves her taking snaps of rare animals in a forest. Some animals get you more money for your snaps than others.</p>
<p>Once the thirtieth day marker is reached, whoever has the most gold between Scrooge and Glomgold is the winner.</p>

<p>This collection covers Larry's complete anthology of love, starting from early 1987, when he was still just an amateur, right up until his final love adventure, where he lost count of women in his life.</p>
<p>The <em>Leisure Suit Larry: Ultimate Pleasure Pack</em> contains anything and everything Sierra ever made that primarily featured Larry Laffer as the central personality:</p>

<p>The second in the series features campaigns in Libya, the Persian Gulf, the Middle East and Vietnam, making for a total of 250,000 miles of potential action and danger. Primary and secondary aerial and ground-based targets must be destroyed on each of these. You are armed with a cannon, AMRAAM long-range air-to-air missile, Sidewinder short-range air-to-air missile, and the Maverick air-to-ground missile.</p>
<p>11 camera angles including internal and external views of the plane exist. To help new players there is a training mode, with options to disable crashes and automate take-off and landing. Enemy AI is responsive, but a targeting computer helps you take them out before they can do it to you. The game incorporates two "Director's Modes" which cut away from your cockpit to highlight special events occurring elsewhere in the game world, like enemy base launching fighters, SAM sites launching SAMs, and your missiles hitting the target.</p>

<p>A role-playing adventure set in the "future" as seen by Victorian era science fiction writers. Players explore the far corners of the Earth (Atlantis, King Tut's tomb etc...) and travel between planets on ships made of martian "liftwood" (invented by none other than Thomas Edison). Based on GDW's pencil and paper roleplaying game. Similar in design to <a href="/search/?q=Paragon">Paragon's</a> <a href="/search/?q=MegaTraveller">MegaTraveller</a> series.</p>

<p>Fly the most fearsome helicopter to ever grace the skies - the AH-64 Apache. The core gameplay is simulator oriented featuring missions in 4 distinct combat theatres. Enemy threats are fully featured and include a myriad of Russian tanks, anti-aircraft systems, surface to air missiles, and aircraft. For novice users there is an 'arcade' flight model with simplified controls and flight mechanics, in addition to a training mode.</p>
<p><em>Apache</em> originally came out for DOS in 1995 and was later upgraded to Windows 9x in 1996, featuring a different box and a few minor in-game changes.</p>

<p><em>Seven Cities of Gold</em> (7COG), Commemorative Edition, is a PC remake of the classic game designed by Dan and Bill Bunten for the Atari and Commodore 64 computers. You play an explorer commissioned by the King and Queen of Spain to voyage to a new world, claim land for the Crown, negotiate with (or conquer) the natives, and gain fame and fortune for yourself. Between voyages, you'll have to buy and outfit ships and hire men to crew them. As in the original <em>7COG</em>, you can play at three different skill levels, and choose to explore either the historical map (consisting of the Americas at the time of Columbus' journeys) or a land form randomly generated by the game.</p>
<p>As befitting a "Commemorative Edition," the PC version of <em>7COG</em> has been beefed up with hi-res graphics and digitized sound. <em>7COG</em> is a rare example of a game being completely redeveloped for a specific platform instead of merely being ported over. <em>(However, Seven Cities of Gold did in fact come out natively for the PC in the mid 1980s. --Ed.)</em></p>

<p><em>Rogue</em> is a turn-based dungeon crawler in which the player controls an adventurer who must explore the dangerous Dungeon of Doom in order to retrieve the precious Amulet of Yendor and make it out alive. The player character starts on the upper-most level and slowly makes his way downwards.</p>
<p>The game uses ASCII characters to represent locations, items, monsters, and the protagonist himself. There are twenty-six different types of monsters, symbolized by their initial letters (e.g. L for Leprechaun). Monsters have different abilities and modes of attack. The dungeon and the items in it are randomly generated each time the player begins a new game. Each dungeon level contains a grid of three by three rooms and dead ends. </p>
<p>Levels get progressively more complex and maze-like, and monsters grow in strength the deeper the hero ventures into the dungeon. The player character can acquire better weapons and armor, gain experience points and level up. Should the protagonist perish in the dungeon, the player must restart the game anew.</p>

<p>This follow-on to Arthurian RPG adventure <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2539/spirit-of-excalibur/">Spirit of Excalibur</a>, Vengeance of Excalibur picks up where the old one ended. While power in Britain has been restored after the death of King Arthur and the destruction of evil sorceress Morgan Le Fay a terrible force has been unleashed. The demonic Shadowmaster, a dark summoning of the slain witch, is terrorizing Britain entrapping the King and stealing the fair court enchantress, Nineve. You must command the knights of the kingdom to find and destroy the vile beast. </p>
<p>The gameplay takes place in seven acts or episodes and features a mix of RPG and simple strategy game (for combat) elements. The game world itself is loosely based on medieval Spain, and features dozens of towns, cities, and castles. Traveling from location to location takes place on an overhead map, while each actual location consists of picturesque hand-painted backdrops depicting the type of environment it is set in. The interface is entirely mouse-driven (although keyboard short-cuts are also present), iconic, and streamlined to make it accessible to inexperienced game players.</p>

<p>In terms of chronology, this is the third installment in the <em>Lemmings</em> series. Similar to the predecessor, the game focuses on the tribes but on the contrary not twelve but only three of them are present: egyptian, classic and shadow. Each of them has its own audio-visual theme. The game concept changed and instead of being given a number of actions to be performed in a specific moment, the lemmings collect the abilities on their way home. Each lemming can collect only one ability at a time and can put it away at any moment so another one can use it. What is more, each lemming has the ability to block the way, change walking direction or jump, and these can be used an unlimited number of times. There are in total 90 levels - 30 for each tribe with an option to save your progress.</p>

<p><em>B-17 Flying Fortress</em> is a simulation of the legendary heavy bomber of World War II.</p>
<p>After customizing one's bomber with nose art and a name, one of several randomly assigned bombing missions into Germany must be flown. The game not only features actual flight simulation, but also crew management. Each of the 10 crew members has ratings for categories like piloting, bombing and gunnery. During a mission, crew members can be reassigned to other posts if needed because of injuries. Each position including the pilot seat, the guns and the bombing sight can of course also be controlled by the player. </p>
<p>A historically accurate number of 25 missions must be flown and survived to complete a tour of duty.</p>

<p><em>Championship Manager 93/94</em> is the successor to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/469/championship-manager/">Championship Manager</a>. The text-based interface remains the same, but several new features have been added to the game. Included now are reserve squads, transfers with international players and injury time. Also, the match engine has been slightly changed to give more information. As it could be expected, all statistics are up to date with the 93/94 season, including real world teams and players.</p>

<p>In the future, races are held across America where the drivers race for money, and their lives. You are the rookie. Welcome to Deathtrack.</p>
<p>Starting off the game with a meager sum, you can choose from three cars (either speedy, plenty of firepower or heavily-armored) and begin practicing for your races against the other drivers.</p>
<p>Your opponents have all been captured in 16-colour digital photo splendour. Featuring 3D polygonal cars racing against each other, they try their best to remove you from the race, permanently.</p>
<p>Your winnings can be used to upgrade your car's armor, weapons and parts to make your car impervious to harm, a juggernaut of firepower, hurtling down the 10 available tracks.</p>

<p>A game in the world of the legendary King Arthur, but adding a few more features than your "run of the mill" adventure. This game also includes adult "situations" that add to the classic motif. During the actual quest for the search of the grail, there are sub-quests to master as well. A VERY detailed graphic adventure game that has a very high end interactive fiction storyline. This game uses a "point and shoot" interface that uses your mouse.</p>

<p>After freeing the world of Twinsun from its evil dictator in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/748/relentless-twinsens-adventure/">previous game</a>, the hero Twinsen has since gotten married, is planning to have a child and has settled down at home. One day, Twinsen finds out that his friend, a creature known as the Dino-Fly, is struck by lightning and hurt. Further investigation reveals that there is something strange going on in the skies on Twinsun; and indeed, visitors from outer space have arrived. Do they come in peace, or is there a sinister goal behind their appearance? Twinsen once again embarks out on a quest for the good of his world...</p>
<p>Like its predecessor, <em>Little Big Adventure 2</em> (<em>Twinsen's Odyssey</em> in the US) is an adventure game with action elements. The game's interface and controls are similar to those of the first game. The focus is still on exploring the game's world, interacting with its characters and objects. The four stances - Normal, Aggressive, Sneaky, and Athletic - have also returned, and must be used in the right situations to advance the plot. The game's world is quite large, containing some optional objectives and quests, which makes it similar to sandbox games. It retains the isometric perspective from its predecessor for indoor locations; outdoor navigation now features rotatable camera, and the world is rendered in real 3D.</p>

<p><em>Red Baron</em> puts you in the pilot's seat of actual World War I fighter aircraft. This game features 28 different aircraft from both the Allied and the German sides presented in actual 3D graphics. Start a career as a pilot and rise through the ranks to become the most feared ace in the skies, or participate in a variety of single missions including simple fighter sweeps, balloon-busting, zeppelin hunting, or take on an actual WWI ace in one-on-one combat. If you're good enough, you may even be able to take on the infamous Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron himself.</p>

<p>M.U.D.S. (Mean Ugly Dirty Sports) is a slightly humorous but definitely violent game in which the game itself is won by scoring at least 7 out of 14 goals or by killing enough of the opposing team. Tackles, pummelings, being thrown into the moat -where a shark-like thing will eat you if you don't get out on time- are just some of the things that can happen to your team.</p>
<p>Of course, there are more ways to win: bribing the opposing team, the referee, or the creature which is used as the ball are worth considering.</p>
<p>Should your team need a little extra morale, just pick a fight, or buy and sell players on the slave market whenever you like.</p>
<p>M.U.D.S. vaguely resembles Speedball in the sense that you try to throw the ball in the opponent's goal, but that's where the similarities end.</p>

<p>You're playing a small ant that is willing to help a friend in a rather inconvenient situation. Apparently, the Quavers mascot Colin Curly likes his Quavers so much he lost balance and dropped them down a giant ant-hill. It's now your job to go in, in a mission to solve puzzles and retrieve the snacks for your friend.</p>
<p>Now, this ant-hill is a bit different from the ones you saw, and especially from the one you live in. Its path is filled with domino-like tiles and closed gates that must get through to find the snacks. You'll have to traverse different themed worlds in order to retrieve Colin's precious Quavers.</p>
<p>The main game consists in controlling the ant from a standard third-person platformer perspective and moving dominoes to place them in a well imagined line, so that when you push the correct one, all of them fall with a specifically marked tile falling last. The door will otherwise stay shut and you will be unable to progress. In addition to that, your ant can't fall from too high or it will die and make you restart the level.</p>
<p>Every domino tile has its own marking. For example, yellow ones are the ones you simply push in a direction so they push the one next to them, most often in a chain reaction. Red ones, on the contrary, can't be pushed at all (but can be moved) and tiles that hit it will fall back in the opposite direction. Other types of tiles include one that explodes when being pushed or hit by another tile, clearing the way for other tiles; one that keeps moving ahead until it hits another tile; one that creates a bridge over a gap; or one that moves straight up and stick to the ceiling, pushing a tile next to it.</p>
<p>Each level is timed and requires quick thinking in order to be completed successfully. Upon completion of a level, the player is given a password that can be used to resume the game at the level they last left off.</p>
<p>The SNES version doesn't have the Quavers branding and involves retrieving drops of cash for a rat character instead.</p>

<p>This adaptation of the action movie with the same name is a 3D open-world action and driving game. The player takes the role of Kyle Reese and protects Sarah Connor from the cyborg sent back in time to kill her, or becomes the Terminator and attempts to eliminate Sarah and her protector.  Either way, the player chases his opponent through Los Angeles buying or stealing weapons and equipment while attempting to eliminate his enemy and avoid the police. There is only one objective for each of the protagonists, but both can engage in side activities that have no influence on the plot, which includes hijacking and driving cars or exploring the large playing area on foot.</p>

<p>Elvira - a horror movie star, a witch, and your girlfriend - is in trouble. A demon Cerberus has kidnapped her in order to kill her and gain her power. To save Elvira, you arrive at the studios of Black Widow Productions, where she is being held. Unfortunately, the whole studio is filled with monsters, as the horror movie sets have turned real. </p>
<p><em>Elvira II: The Jaws of Cerberus</em> is an adventure/RPG first-person game. You begin by choosing one of the four classes for your character (which determines your starting attributes, such as Strength, Intelligence etc.). </p>
<p>For movement, you click the arrows in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Collecting items can be done via clicking on them in the first-person view window and dragging them into your inventory. (You can also click the "room" icon to see all the items that you've found in the room so far.) Should you encounter monsters, you fight by clicking on them. You can choose one of the four tactics (Normal, Defense, Fierce, Berserk) when fighting, and there's a number of different weapons you can find in the game. If you meet someone who doesn't want to murder you (a very rare occurrence) you can talk to him, though conversations are pretty simple and consist mainly of short phrases. </p>
<p>As you defeat monsters, explore the game world and cast spells (see below), you get experience. Once you have enough experience, you gain a level, and your attributes improve. </p>
<p>Thanks to Elvira's spellbook she gave you, you have the ability to create and cast spells. Some spells can be used to heal yourself, protect you in combat or damage your enemies, other are necessary to solve certain puzzles and make progress in the game. Creating a spell requires you to be of high enough level and to have the proper ingredients, different for every spell. The ingredients are usually gone forever once the spell is ready, so beware and don't use up any items vital for completing the game! Casting a spell requires you to use some amount of Power Points (PP), which regenerate automatically but slowly. What's more, you only get a limited number of castings when you prepare a spell, so don't waste them.</p>

<p>In <em>Ancient Domains of Mystery</em>, the player character is an adventurer who has traveled to a remote mountain range to save Ancardia, the world of the game, from the forces of Chaos. The player can either continue on with this quest or join on with Chaos, depending on the choices that the player makes in the game. Becoming corrupted by the forces of chaos causes mutations which have positive or negative effects.</p>
<p>The game features a wide range of character races and classes, a point-based skill system, many subplots, and a detailed world which allows to grow herbs and repair/upgrade weapons with smithing.</p>

<p><em>Omega</em> is usually considered the first <a href="/search/?q=Rogue+variants">roguelike</a> game (CRPG dungeon crawls with top-down or isometric graphics and a high degree of randomization; <a href="/search/?q=Rogue:+The+Adventure+Game">Rogue</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/820/nethack/">NetHack</a> are examples) with a traditional plot. In it, you play a person from Earth that has been transported to another world by the Omega Project (this part of the plot is explained in the intro). You are trying to become an Adept, a person of immense power who follows the Buddhism-like principles of the Lords of Omega, by undergoing a series of quests.</p>

<p>Freddy Pharkas was one of the fastest guns in the American West of the 1880's. However, in one particular gunfight with an outlaw named Kenny, he was outgunned and had his ear shot off. This traumatic experience caused Freddy to give up his pistols and enroll in the school of pharmacology. Blocking out the memories of his past, Freddy arrives in the town of Coarsegold with the dream to own and run his own pharmacy. Working with the town's doctor, Freddy is able to fill prescriptions, mix concoctions and diagnose simple symptoms. Business among the townsfolk is brisk however, the good times are not to last as suddenly townsfolk are run out of town and businesses are being foreclosed and boarded up. Freddy must deal with the town's problems, and discover the larger plot, or risk having a fancy shop in an empty town and losing all his customers.</p>
<p><em>Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist</em> is a humorous point-and-click adventure game bearing many similarities to other Sierra titles in the same genre, in particular <a href="/search/?q=Leisure+Suit+Larry">Leisure Suit Larry</a> series. Players use the command bar at the top of the screen to choose a verb command that is combined with locations and objects visible to the player. Freddy can walk to new locations, look at particular objects, attempt to use objects, talk to people and enter his inventory to access items that have been picked up. Like other Sierra games, successful actions add to the player's score, judging the player on 1000 points.</p>

<p><em>Angband</em> is an updated version of the game <a href="/search/?q=Moria">Moria</a>, adding more monsters, character races, and classes; deepening the dungeon from 50 levels to 100; and including such new features as monster pits and unique items. The object of the game is to become powerful enough to defeat a difficult unique monster, Morgoth, at the bottom of the dungeon.</p>

<p>It is the year 15432, and criminal organizations are flourishing. Scavenging has become increasing profitable, since the criminal elite is willing to pay big money for their shady undertakings. A mysterious group known as A.V.C. contacts the acquisition squad Red Hunter to perform missions for them in particularly dangerous environments. The team departs on its needling ship, hoping to gain fame and riches in this perilous endeavor.</p>
<p><em>In Pursuit of Greed</em> is a shareware raycasting 3D (2.5D) first-person shooter. Over the course of the game, the player gains access to five different playable characters, though the differences between them are mostly cosmetic. The protagonists can use melee weapons (such as daggers), but mostly rely on firearms. It is also possible to pick up and throw grenades. Ammunition and power-ups are randomly generated.</p>

<p><em>A Nightmare of Elm Street</em> is an action game based on the movie of the same name, where the player attempts to free friends from the grasp of the evil Freddy Krueger. Find a way into Freddy's house on Elm Street, enter the Nightmare World, and fight him with unique powers or die trying!</p>
<p><strong>Selectable Characters</strong>  </p>
<p>Before the game begins, the player must first choose one of available five characters in an attempt to free Joey who, as informed by this selection screen, has been already been captured by Freddy. Spending too much time during this section will allow Freddy to capture random character, until all but one selectable character is left, so choose a character quickly! When a character is selected, all the other characters are deemed captured by Freddy and must also be rescued.</p>
<p>Each character has a different <em>Soul</em> mater and <em>Power</em> meter rating, as well as unique abilities. Soul represents the player's health and if it runs out, the player dies. Power is used up every time the player uses a special ability. The characters are:
1. Kincaid - Special ability: Power Punch
- Kristen - Special ability: Power Kick
- Will - Special ability: Lightning
- Nancy - Special ability: Time Freeze
- Taryn - Special ability: Magic Knives
- Joey - Non-selectable (victim)</p>
<p><strong>Finding Freddy Krueger's House</strong>  </p>
<p>The game starts on Elm Street with the player viewable from a top-down perspective. The player must find Freddy's house through this maze of streets while avoiding Freddy (displayed as a giant character) himself. Bumping into Freddy during the search may damage the player's soul. </p>
<p><strong>Inside Freddy Krueger's House</strong>  </p>
<p>Inside the house, the player must explore and find a way to the other levels. The level location of each friend is displayed on the right frame as well as their remaining soul. As time passes, their souls may decrease, indicated by a text informing the player of their screams.</p>
<p>While exploring, the player may encounter monsters, items, and traps. Monsters and traps will decrease the player's soul. Items may consist of weapons, ammunition, gold coins (to buy items), batteries, objects to restore soul, and other uses. Items will automatically be picked and placed in the player's inventory, also displayed on the right frame. Items must first be selected in order to use or drop them. During exploration, power will gradually recharge; however, soul may only be restored by using specific items.</p>

<p>In the near future become helicopter rescue pilot Ted Irvin, a man with mysterious budding psychic powers as he battles a strange cult called The Sect. An on-rails shooter with light adventure elements.</p>

<p>In <em>X-Men 2: The Fall of the Mutants</em> the player must assemble a team of five X-Men from a selection of fifteen, and eliminate the evil mutants while playing in a top-down RPG-style environment. When battles commence the player has two choices for how the combat takes place: either side-scrolling action, or turn-based RPG-style combat. In the side-scrolling action fights, the player can use each of the team members' powers to kill the foes.</p>

<p><em>Larn</em> is one of the first <a href="/search/?q=Roguelikes">Roguelikes</a> (RPG dungeon crawls with top-down or isometric graphics and a high degree of randomization; <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1743/rogue/">Rogue</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/820/nethack/">Nethack</a> are examples) with a wilderness and more than one dungeon. In this game, you are searching the Caverns of Larn for a cure for your daughter's strange disease. The game world is presented entirely with ASCII text characters.</p>

<p><em>Jukebox Adventure</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=091493341596">The Blues Brothers</a>. Once again, the player has to choose a favourite Blues Brother and take him through different side-scrolling platform levels. He needs to collect records and use them as defence by throwing them towards enemies. There are also power-ups that can be gathered until the jukebox to progress to the next level is found.</p>

<p>The world of Athas was once peaceful and pleasant - until wizards found a way to increase their power by draining the planet's energy. Athas gradually turned into a desert, its seas evaporating, its sun transforming into an ominous crimson fireball. The wizards then gained control over the land, becoming sorcerer-kings and enslaving most of the population. One of such kings, Tectuktitlay, rules the city-state of Draj. By his orders, a group of slaves is sent to a battle arena where they have to fight monsters as gladiators. However, that group manages to escape the slave pens. They have to contact the leaders of independent villages built by former slaves, and unite in a battle against Draj's oppression.</p>
<p><em>Dark Sun: Shattered Lands</em> is an AD&amp;D game based on the Dark Sun campaign pack by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/2642/tsr-inc/">TSR</a>. The player can control a pre-generated party of four characters or create new ones at the beginning. There are eight available races, including half-giants and the exotic insect-like thri-kreen alongside the more traditional ones. Eight character classes are available: Fighter, Ranger, Gladiator, Cleric, Druid, Preserver, Psionicist, and Thief. Psionic powers constitute a separate spellcasting discipline that comes in three varieties: psychokinetic, psychometabolic, and telepathic.</p>
<p>The entire game is viewed from an overhead perspective. The game world is composed out of numerous large interconnected areas, which include outdoor locations, dungeons, and settlements. Following the completion of the first two areas, the player is free to roam the world and access its locations in any order. There are several tasks that have to be fulfilled in order to complete the game, but the player is also given a considerable degree of freedom concerning his treatment of NPCs and the way quests are solved. There are various sub-quests in the game as well. Multiple-choice dialogues are used for interaction with characters.</p>
<p>The turn-based battles are seamless, taking place on the exploration screen without any other confines. The game is not particularly combat-heavy and many confrontations can be solved peacefully. During combat, the player navigates characters in a tactical fashion, using melee and ranged weapons as well as various spells. Character-building and attributed are in accordance with traditional AD&amp;D rules, including armor class rating, choosing spells to memorize when leveling up, etc.</p>

<p><em>Killing Cloud</em> is set in a San Francisco ravaged by an opaque orange death smog layer known as the Killing Cloud. This hovers around the middle of the skyscrapers, creating a claustrophobic low level experience (and a different feel to the many other flight simulations set in the city, such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8668/fa-18-interceptor/">F/A-18 Interceptor</a>). </p>
<p>In this maelstrom, the Black Angel gang is terrorising the public.
The player is a member of the SFPD Police force, charged with bringing them down throughout ten missions. Some are out-and-out action while others are more strategic. You can only survive for 20 minutes in the smog, so time is crucial in these missions.</p>
<p>In addition to outflying the enemy on your hoverbike, the player must carefully pre-position ground forces to arrest him when he is brought down, using Pick-Up Pods. Once arrested, a suspect must be interrogated to release enough information to know what the next threat is.</p>

<p><em>SimAnt</em> explores the detail of the lives of ants, as you take full control of an ant colony. Build up your colony to conquer the other colonies in the yard. Foes include spiders and humans - make their lives a misery by invading their homes. A Quick Game option focuses on battles with other groups of ants, and a full Tutorial mode is provided. Biological detail of real ants is provided, to help make the package more educational.</p>
<p>In the full game the player starts out as the black queen ant who must start an ant hill and produce offspring to start the first colony. They control the output of types of ants between soldiers, workers, and breeders. Soldiers fight the enemy red ants and protect the ant hill, workers maintain the food supply and build out the ant hill, while breeders are used to start more ant colonies in the effort to take over the human’s property.</p>
<p>The player can switch from controlling one ant to another as necessary to do different tasks in the game directly. They can go out on the surface and collect green food dots, call in the troops and take down spiders and caterpillars or invade the red ants’ hill and kill them off. While out on the surface it is important to be careful not to drown in the rain or get killed by the lawn mower.</p>
<p>When there are populations of breeders, they can be dispersed to other sectors of the yard and house within three sectors of the current sector you’re operating from. Once a sector has a black ant hill on it, the player can move over to the newly populated sector and work from there to continue furthering the black ants.</p>
<p>The game is won when the red ants are exterminated from the play field and the human and his cat and dog are driven from their house by the overwhelming ant infestation which has been waged on them.</p>

<p><em>Ultima VII: Forge of Virtue</em> is an add-on disk to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/608/ultima-vii-the-black-gate/">Ultima VII: The Black Gate</a> that adds new areas and quests to the game.</p>
<p>Once the disk is installed and a previous game is loaded (or a new one begun), an earthquake shakes Britannia, signalling the rising of the Isle of Fire from the oceans. The Isle was last seen in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/878/exodus-ultima-iii/">Ultima III</a>, serving as the stronghold of Exodus. And while Exodus was destroyed, some of his essence remains in the Dark Core, which must be destroyed to rid Britannia of his evil once and for all. To accomplish this, several tests of virtue must be passed, originally designed by Lord British as part of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/884/ultima-iv-quest-of-the-avatar/">Quest of the Avatar</a>.</p>
<p>The rewards of completing the add-on's quests are plentiful and can make the main game easier: the Avatar's stats will be raised to their maximum and a new, powerful weapon will be made available, able to vanquish even the most dangerous foes with a single strike.</p>

<p>You are now a member of the Silent Service, the US Navy Submarine command. For a long while after Pearl Harbor, you are the only forces capable of striking back at the Japanese in the Pacific. Take one of the "fleet boats" and go on extended patrols of up to 2 months from Hawaii, Australia, or New Zealand. Set your difficulty/realism level and time period (early means less tech for juicier targets, later means tougher escorts, more tech, lousier targets). Contend with factors like dud torpedoes, maximum depth, and more. </p>
<p>You can choose among practice run against some old hulks, recreate historical convoy attacks, go on a single patrol, or go on your own campaign, which lets you go multiple patrols until you die, get promoted, or survive the war. </p>
<p>How well will you do when matched against history?</p>

<p><em>Operation Carnage</em> is an arena shooting game similar to <a href="/search/?q=Smash+T.V.">Smash TV</a>. The player controls a guy who tries to wreak havoc on the evil aliens who conquered and subdued Earth with soft takeover tactics. The humans are now bred like cattle and the Aliens feed off their souls.</p>
<p>There are 8 sectors and each sector is divided into rooms. In each room the player needs to mow down all enemies, after which a door will open to the next room. There are power-ups and weapons to be picked up, such as a machine gun, fire gun, plasma gun, scatter bomb, energy, bonus points etc. In the last room of each sector the player faces an end boss in the form of a big space ship or alien.</p>

<p>You are a brave squirrel named Skunny. Your mission is to stop the evil, demented Sadman Insane from achieving his goals.</p>
<p>Basically you'd fly Skunny about in his bi-plane shooting down Sadman's helicopters and missile silos.</p>

<p>In this game Skunny the squirrel must travel back in time to ancient Rome to stop an evil chef from changing history by destroying the invention of the pizza so he can make a cheap imitation that everybody will have to eat! </p>
<p>The gameplay is basically jumping from platform to platform and onto the heads of roman legions.</p>

<p><em>California Games</em> was the original "Extreme Games" – what today's generation might call "X-Games in the sun". Players can select sponsors (absent in some versions) and compete in events such as skateboarding, footbag, surfing, roller skating, flying disc (frisbee) and BMX. The surfing event is ranked by judges, which give a score to help the players improve their routine.</p>
<p>The Atari versions (2600 and Lynx) of the game omit the flying disc and roller skating events, while the Genesis version omits only the flying disc event.</p>

<p>In the near future, human beings have discovered that hell actually exists. The governing organization on the Earth, known as the Hand of God, controls the ways to hell. Demons can travel to our dimensions, while criminals are sent to hell instead of being locked in jails.</p>
<p>You take the roles of Gideon Eshanti and Rachel Braque, a couple who is working for the government. One night government agents arrive at their house and try to assassinate them. After a narrow escape, the two find themselves in hell. Now they have to figure out how to return to our world, and to find out why their employers wanted to kill them...</p>
<p><em>Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller</em> is an adventure game with simple point-and-click interface. You advance in the game by talking to people and manipulating objects to solve puzzles. The game utilizes pre-rendered backgrounds and FMV sequences as cut-scenes.</p>

<p>California Games II is the sequel to the smash hit 1988 game.</p>
<p>This time you compete in: hang-gliding, jetski, skateboarding, body boarding and snow boarding.</p>

<p><em>Pizza Tycoon</em> is a strategy game where you are an aspiring pizza chef, who wants to start the best pizza chain in the world. You begin by choosing a character you want to be (they differ in appearance and abilities, but the most important factor is the amount of money they have at the start). </p>
<p>Then you choose one of the cities in the USA or Europe, where you will rent the building that will become your first pizza restaurant. Before you open it, however, you have to buy furniture, decor and floors (there's a huge choice); hire some cooks and waiters; add some pizzas to your menu, and buy ingredients (you can buy at various shops, which offer various quality of the ingredients). Once this is all ready, you can open your first restaurant and then advertise it via fliers, billboards, newspaper or TV ads. </p>
<p>Creating your own pizzas, either to include into your menu or to take part in pizza-making competitions, is an important part of the game. You begin with an empty dough, and you're free to add a lot of various vegetables, meat, fruits or herb onto it. Remember that various people like various ingredients - if your restaurant is in a district populated mostly by kids, you can expect that a pizza made of sweet things will be popular. Also, specific ingredients rise and fall in popularity; if the newspaper announces that pineapples are bad for health, then sales of your Pineapple Pizza might plummet!</p>
<p>But while earning money as a honest citizen can be fun, it's even more exciting to get involved with the Underworld and buy weapons to devastate your competitor's restaurant, or do missions for the Mafia (which usually involve picking up something at a specific place at a specific time, and bringing it somewhere else at a different time). But beware, as this can bring you problems, either from the law or from the Mafia itself.</p>

<p>In the year 2012, Foreign Terrorists led by the infamous Victor Baloch have taken control of the Twin "U.N towers" in the United States of America, capturing the leaders of the world who were holding a summit at the time.</p>
<p>As a member of the Governments "Elite Force", trained to take out terrorists when the talking stops, you must enter one of the towers through its maintenance area, which can be accessed through the sewers.</p>
<p>OBC has 40 levels with the first 5 taking place in the sewers where the player, strangely, fights off giant rats and mutants the manual calls Sludge Minions before they enter the first tower to take on the terrorists.</p>
<p>The weapons available to the player include a shotgun with infinite ammo, an Uzi, Galil, Flame Thrower and Grenade Launcher (though it functions like a Rocket Launcher).</p>
<p>The aim of each level in OBC is to kill a certain number of terrorists on a map before using one of several elevators or stairs to go up to the next floor.</p>
<p>OBC pioneered many features including controllable allies (the other members of your squad that join you once you enter the tower). You can order them to follow you or to roam the floor killing all they find. The player can also freely jump between their bodies in the games take on a lives system; as long as the team member they are in isn't killed there is no limit on this.</p>
<p>OBC also features a near fully destructible environment; the Flame Thrower can set bad guys, scenery and the level itself on fire, which could make movement extremely hazardous for the player, especially as the fire randomly spreads. The Grenade launcher meanwhile can destroy any wall (with some hard coded exceptions).</p>
<p>Like Blake Stone OBC also features textured floors and ceilings. Though unlike Blake, OBC could have several different floor textures on the same map. However OBC's floor/ceiling graphics were partially parallax meaning they appeared to "warp" as the player moves around.</p>

<p>Armored Fist offers realistic armored warfare in numerous tactical theaters.  The player can choose from an extensive line-up of  modern-day armored vehicles utilized by U.S. forces, in addition to those commonly used by Soviet troops.  The game was one of the earliest tank sims to offer a mission editor with broad capabilities. Six linear campaigns are offered in addition to a training campaign.</p>

<p><em>Ms Pac PC</em> is an unofficial DOS conversion of <a href="/search/?q=Ms.+Pac-Man">Ms. Pac-Man</a>. It follows the basic <em>Pac-Man</em> formula: the player moves around in maze with the goal to eat all drops which are lying in the hallways, However, there are also ghosts of different colour walking around the maze, and their touch is deadly. The player can also collect special items which either give bonus points or allow Ms. Pac-Man to eat the ghosts for a limited amount of time.</p>

<p><em>SimEarth</em> puts you in charge of an entire planet throughout its 10 billion year lifespan. Your ultimate task is to guide the planet’s inhabitants into the stars, from its humble single-celled roots.</p>
<p>The main threats you face include pollution, disease, famine, war and global warming. The controls available to you include the chance to move mountains and continents, creating different levels of species, and unleash tidal waves and earthquakes so as to reshape your planet. All of these things take from your limited energy, which must be replenished.</p>

<p>The Wiz and his cat Nifta have successfully restored colors to the world. Both got married (though most probably not to each other) and begot children: the Wiz had a son, Wizkid, and Nifta had eight kittens. Their peaceful life ended when the evil mouse magician Zark kidnapped the Wiz, Nifta, and all the kittens, imprisoning them in different parts of the world. Wizkid must venture into unknown realms and rescue his father together with the feline family.</p>
<p><em>Wizkid: The Story of Wizball II</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/526/wizball/">Wizball</a>. This game deviates from the original in many ways. The screen does not scroll and Wizkid does not bounce around like his predecessor. The player has full control over Wizkid and his movements. He has to be moved around the screen, bashing into bricks (which come in different shapes and sizes) so that the flying bricks collide with the onscreen enemies. Once the screen is cleared of all the enemies, coins are dropped, which must be picked up quickly before they disappear and the player proceeds to the next screen. </p>
<p>Killing multiple enemies with a single brick releases a bubble that will sometimes offer a nose (to juggle bricks) or teeth (letting Wizkid grab hold of bricks), but more often they turn into colored notes. These must be combined to form tunes, as patterned at the top of the screen. Once the player completes a tune, you are taken to a shop where you can buy items needed to progress to the next stage.</p>
<p>If Wizkid has bashed all the bricks on a screen, but failed to remove all the enemies, the player may be taken to a puzzle screen, where he must solve Crossword 2091 for bonus money. The player has a number of words to put on the screen, but they must all overlap each other and use each other's letters. Each move has a time limit. If the player fails to complete the puzzle he is taken back to the level.</p>
<p>When exiting a shop the player can choose either to exit as a head or a body, which is Wizkid with arms and legs. Assembles in this way, Wizkid is now limited by gravity and can jump around and use onscreen objects such as ringing bells or cranking wells. He may also come across interactive elements which he will need to use with items in his pockets. Most such levels require the player to solve inventory-based puzzles.</p>

<p><em>Gauntlet</em> is an action game where players choose characters and fight their way through hordes of enemies that assault them on the way to the end of the level. One or two players must make their way through 100 levels of mayhem and magic. </p>
<p>The game features a choice of four characters to play with, each with different weapons. Thor the Warrior has a bludgeoning battle axe, Thyra the Valkyrie has a close range sword, Questor the Elf has his long range bow, and Merlin the Wizard has magical bolts.</p>
<p>Ghosts, goblins and even the life-draining Death are among the enemies. Enemies stream out of generators, so destroy these before tackling the rest. </p>
<p>Keys are needed to open the many doors within the levels, and in some situations a door will contain only bonus items, not a progressive route. Scattered magic potions act like smart bombs and clear the screen of all enemies. Beware of poison though, this reduces the character's energy level.
Treasure is abundant throughout the levels and adds to the player's score.</p>

<p>The computer versions of <em>Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom</em> are conversions of the Atari arcade game based on the second movie in the series. As Indy, the player must complete several cycles of the following three types of levels:</p>
<ol>
<li>Mine level: Whip your way through a mine in order to free children that are held captive. Use your whip to swing across chasms, climb ladders, ride along conveyor belts and defend yourself against attacks from Thuggee guards, bats, snakes and the fireball-throwing Mola ram. Escape with the mine cart after you've freed all children.</li>
<li>Mine cart level: Pick the right route through a network of tracks while riding in a mine cart. Avoid potholes, broken tracks &amp; guards in carts and safely reach the end of the track.</li>
<li>Temple level: Make your way to the altar and grab the Sankara stone while Mola Ram, bats and Thuggee guards attack you. Watch out for that lava.</li>
</ol>
<p>With every cycle the mine &amp; mine cart levels become more complex, the layout of the temple levels is always the same. After several cycles there's a showdown with Mola Ram on the rope bridge.</p>

<p>Set in a post-apocalyptic New York, <em>Double Dragon</em> is the story of Billy and Jimmy Lee, twin brothers trained in the fighting style of Sou-Setsu-Ken. Together, they manage a small martial arts training school, teaching their students in self-defense. One day, Billy's girlfriend, Marian, is kidnapped off the street by the "Black Warriors", a savage street gang led by a man named Willy. The Black Warriors demand the Lee brothers disclose their martial arts secrets in exchange for Marian's freedom. The Lee brothers set out on a rescue mission to crush the Black Warriors and save Marian.</p>
<p>Using whatever techniques they have at their disposal, from the basic punches and kicks to the invulnerable elbow strike, as well any weapon that comes into their hands, the Lee brothers must pursue the gang through the city slum, industrial area and the forest before reaching their hideout to confront the big boss, Willy.</p>
<p>The NES version of this game also has an additional VS. fighting mode for one or two players. Players choose from a field of six different characters (Billy and 5 of the enemy characters) and enter into a one-on-one fighting match. Players have to punch, kick, jumpkick, and even use a weapon against their opponents until someone's health bar is fully drained. The winner is the last one standing.</p>

<p>The lovely Marian was rescued from the clutches of the Black Warriors gang by Billy &amp; Jimmy Lee in <a href="/search/?q=Double+Dragon">the first Double Dragon game</a>, but now the gang has killed her in retaliation of their early defeat. The Dragons must now embark on a mission to avenge her death and defeat the Black Warriors for the second and final time.</p>
<p>The original arcade version of "Double Dragon II" was essentially an improved version of the first game. In addition to offering renewed audio and visuals, as well as new traps, moves and enemy characters, "Double Dragon II" discarded the conventional punch and kick buttons in favor of a direction-oriented attacking system similar to the original Technos beat-em-up <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/15682/renegade/">Renegade</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="/search/?q=475000008149">NES version</a> offered new stages, new moves and illustrated cut-scenes, as well as a new final boss and a new ending. Unlike the first NES game, it offered 2-Player Co-Op gameplay with the option to turn off the friendly fire.</p>

<p>The final game in the trilogy.</p>
<p>Billy and Jimmy Lee are returning from martial arts training when their paths cross a fortune teller. She tells them of a great evil in Egypt, their strongest adversary yet, and how the Rosetta Stones can aid them.</p>
<p>This game features weapon shops where Billy and Jimmy can buy power-ups, tricks, energy and extra lives to aid them in 
their quest.</p>
<p>Power-ups make Billy and Jimmy twice their size, increasing their damage done and range of attack.</p>
<p>The character graphics have changed, moving away from cartoon style graphics to more realistic looking characters.</p>

<p>Take control and manage a virtual farm for a local town. Game-play includes planting and maintaining crops, of which there are 24 different varieties to choose from, each with their own requirements. The buying and selling of livestock, and land, whilst competing for space with the town. Additional simulation includes changing weather systems and realistic seasons, each affecting the running of your farm.</p>

<p>The solo version of the sequel/add-on to the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1653/shadow-of-yserbius/">Shadow of Yserbius</a>, the graphical multi-user dungeon game on The Sierra Network (which at this point had become known as the Imagination Network). Once again brave warriors and wizards are needed to enter dangerous dungeons and uncover the secrets of the evils that plague the land. </p>
<p>Using the same engine as the original, the sequel provides more of the same: a pure dungeon romp with squared-off dungeon maps, random encounters, and treasure-strewn halls. </p>
<p>While gameplay remains the same, Sierra tried to get the most story and diversity out of the engine and produced a somewhat more complex game, with a wider range of puzzles, traps, and turns.</p>

<p>The player take the role of a Starfleet Cadet whose father died in the battle against the Borg at Wolf 359. When the Borg attack again, Starfleet won't allow you to stay and fight them. However, the mysterious entity "Q" (played by John deLancie) gives you the chance to travel back in time to Wolf 359 and try saving your father and his ship.</p>
<p><em>Star Trek: Borg</em> is an interactive movie filmed in first-person through the eyes of the cadet. Q initially takes the player onto the bridge of the cadet's father's ship as an invisible observer. Later, the cadet is transported inside the body of the ship's security officer, where he can use his knowledge of upcoming events to change the outcome.</p>
<p>The interface is handled entirely through mouse clicks to make decisions or interact with puzzles at key points during the movie. Players can also pause the movie at any time with a single left-click, and gain access to a tricorder cursor. This cursor can then be clicked on any person or object in the frame to get a Q-narrated description of its backstory or function.</p>

<p>A sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/495/simon-the-sorcerer/">Simon the Sorcerer</a>, this second game in the series gives us more mis-adventures from our teenaged sorcerer (of some sort). Thrown into another dimension by his own wardrobe, Simon starts the heroic mission (of some sort) to find -- another wardrobe that could get him back home. Equipped with his pointy sorcerer's hat (of some sort), he will also rescue the world (again) from the evil Sordid.</p>
<p>A point-and-click adventure in a style similar to the first Simon game, only technologically improved.</p>

<p>In <em>Azrael's Tear</em> you play a "raptor", a futuristic thief that raids ancient archaeological sites that have as yet been untouched by man for hundreds of years and are full of treasures.</p>
<p>Recently, due to geological disturbances, the supposed home of the Holy Grail is partially unearthed in northern Scotland. You go in to raid it of its treasures and, provided it exists, of the Holy Grail. When you enter, the entrance caves in behind you and you are stuck inside. Ah well, nothing to do but continue on to find what you came for...</p>
<p>The game utilizes a true 3D engine to display your surroundings, as in <a href="/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a>. It's heavy on puzzles and light on combat. As you move further on into the ruins you'll encounter ghosts of the inhabitants and hints as to what happened to cause the ruins that surround you now.</p>

<p>Based on subLOGIC's classic Flight Simulator.  Choose either an F-16 Fighting Falcon for land missions or an F-18 Hornet for missions starting at sea from an aircraft carrier.  You can practice flying and aerobatics in "free flight" mode, dogfight against Soviet MiGs, launch strikes against land or sea based targets, watch a demo, or load a subLOGIC scenery disk.  For either combat mode, you get to select which missiles and bombs your plane will have.</p>
<p>Most of the indicators a real jet fighter would have are present:  altimeter, heading, frame loading, gear status, brake status, fuel level, radar, attitude, and range.  You can turn a few of these on and off.  Controls consist of either the joystick or numeric keypad for steering and other keys to handle your optional indicators, landing gear, weapons, and even the eject button!  Lastly, if you want a different perspective, you can get a view from the control tower instead of your cockpit.</p>

<p><em>Maelstrom</em> is a managerial space strategy and simulation game. After the last great war, a small and previously unnoticed planet, Zokbar J, seized the opportunity and pounced on the broken pieces, creating the "Syndicate," which now vies for domination of the galaxy. You defected, and now control Harmony, a large Fitzholium miner, and can manage your planets' resources to build a fleet and defeat the Syndicate.</p>

<p>Bad boy Nick Hunter must thwart the evil Thorne Devereaux's plan to coat U.S. currency with a time delayed explosive by infiltrating his base and mowing down swarms of identical nameless guards.</p>

<p>A "strategic" football simulation focusing on coaching strategy.  Designed for leagues, players could draft from current or classic teams and build coaching strategies for the computer to run or call game plays themselves.  There is no direct control over the players.</p>

<p><em>Shadow Sorcerer</em> is a tie-in with the Dragonlance series of novels. The player controls a party of four adventurers that have just rescued 800 slaves and must shepherd them through the wilderness before the evil Dragon army catches up with them. There are three levels to the game: </p>
<ul>
<li>Strategic, where the player must move the refugees safely through the wilderness.</li>
<li>Tactical, where the party explores dungeons and other areas of interest, searching for information and treasure to assist the escape.</li>
<li>Political, where the players must deal with the refugee leaders and convince them to continue following the party.</li>
</ul>
<p>All three take place in real-time with the evil dragons constantly on the adventurers' heels slowly picking off the escapees.</p>

<p>This compilation contains the following games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Police+Quest:+In+Pursuit+Of+The+Death+Angel">Police Quest</a> (1987)</li>

</ul>

<p>The second Questprobe adventure moves on from the 'verb noun' command interface of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1943/the-hulk/">The Hulk</a> and allows fuller sentence inputs. The in-game graphics also see some degree of advancement. You play Spider-Man, Peter Parker's crime-fighting alter-ego, as he takes on Mysterio, who can block out Parker's Spidery senses using his canisters of poison.</p>
<p>As in The Hulk, the Examiner plays a key part in the game, as he initially strips Spider-Man's knowledge and prepares him for the battle. Throughout the game you meet many familiar Marvel characters, using the clues in the provided guidebook to help you deal with these situations correctly.</p>

<p>Up to four players compete on the Stock Market to make their fortune, by investing in a portfolio of stocks. There are oil companies, car companies and airlines, all with graphs of performance to predict trends from. Bear in mind economic trends as they unfold. You can take out a loan of up to $5m, which must be paid back with interest later. Instructions are largely built into the game, in a way rarely used before the CD-ROM era.</p>

<p><em>Castles II</em> expands on <a href="/search/?q=Castles">the original</a> by changing the interface and adding video cutscenes on the CD-based versions.</p>
<p>You choose to be one of five feuding lords vying for the Crown. Conquering, spying, sabotage, diplomacy, whatever it takes--as long as you keep the Pope and your people happy. You have to reach 7,000 points to petition the Pope for the throne, and then you have to maintain those points for 4-5 game months to win the game. However, your rivals will attack you as soon as the Pope declares his support, so be sure you have a strong military before applying for the Papal backing.</p>
<p>Castle building is more efficient and easier to deal with. You can also set up pre-made castles on file so that you can place them quickly. Battles are set in a full alternate screen with the ability to place and command each unit.</p>

<p>When the insane god Khull-Khuum was rampaging the world, devastating everything on his way, the only person who survived the destruction of the Stonekeep castle was a boy named Drake, saved by a mysterious figure. Years later, Drake returns to the ruins of Stonekeep, and the goddess Thera extracts his spirit so that he might withstand the dangers that await him there. Drake must avenge his past, and find a way to liberate the benevolent gods of the realm.</p>
<p><em>Stonekeep</em> is a dungeon-crawling role-playing game with real-time combat. The entire game is spent underground. There is no character creation; Drake's initial statistics are pre-set. Over the course of the game, up to three other characters will join the party and help Drake in combat, controlled by the computer AI. Drake becomes stronger by repeatedly fighting with a particular type of weapon. Magic is contained within runes, which must be found and equipped on staves. Spells can also be combined by the player to produce various offensive and supportive effects. The game utilizes digitized pictures and animations of live actors to represent characters.</p>

<p>In <em>Mystic Towers</em>, the player takes control of an old and rather eccentric wizard Baron Baldric, whose task is to venture into the twelve Towers of Lazarine and clear them of monsters. The game is a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/31359/baron-baldric-a-grave-adventure/">Baron Baldric: A Grave Adventure</a>. It is primarily an action game with puzzle-solving and role-playing elements.</p>
<p>Each tower consists of 45 rooms (9 rooms on each of the 5 floors), 15 monsters, and 1 monster generator. The objective is always the same: defeat all the monsters, deactivate the monster generator, and find a way to escape from the tower. The player navigates Baron Baldric through isometric environments, fighting monsters in action-based combat, jumping, avoiding obstacles, and collecting various items. Some of the items are required to solve a puzzle (such as unlocking a room), while others relate to the RPG elements in the game.</p>
<p>Along with the usual HP (health) bar, Baron Baldric also has a food and a drink meter, which means that the player has to find edible products and beverages to prevent the hero from dying. The old wizard mostly relies on spells in combat; these can be purchased from vending machines. In addition, Baldric collects points when he finds treasure; these points eventually add an extra life, up to nine in total.</p>

<p><i>Rastan</i> features five levels of hacking and slashing gameplay with a boss at the end of each level. Numerous enemies assault you on your journey such as flying demons, chimeras, valkyries, piranhas, undead and more. Fight through to the end and save the land of Lograth from certain doom.</p>
<p>The game features different weapons such as axes, maces and fire swords, each with its own attributes like extended range or attack power. Armour can also be picked up in the forms of shields, cloaks and armour, reducing the damage from enemy attacks. Other items include rings (increase the speed of your weapon) and jewelry for bonus points.</p>

<p>You control a shinobi, Joe Musashi, who must battle his way through each level in search of hostages which must be rescued. You have shurikens, kicks and punches to defend yourself with, as well as powerful ninja magic which can clear the screen of enemies in one go.</p>
<p>Each level is broken down into smaller scenes, and hostages are guarded by big blokes who throw swords. Watch out for gun-toting enemy henchmen and ninjas.</p>
<p>Reaching the end of each level will find you battling it out with a boss. These range from 8ft tall giants to helicopter gunships.</p>

<p>Three of the key battles of the American War of Independence are recreated here. The British army and American patriots can be played by either human or computer (with 3 skill levels). Each side's level of reinforcements and ammunition can be set on a 5-point scale. The smallest and shortest battle is Bunker Hill, while the Battle of Monmouth is distinguished by harsh weather, and Saratoga requires a different fighting style to the highly regimented one the British unsuccessfully used.</p>

<p><em>Fable</em> is a classical puzzle-solving graphic adventure with hand-drawn backgrounds. The hero Quickthorpe is a young man who must leave his home village and travel through four fantasy worlds, each dedicated to a particular element. The goal of the journey is to find four mystic gemstones in order to learn about the secrets of an extinct race known as Mecubarz, and help his people with this knowledge. Interaction with the environment is done by clicking on an object and selecting available actions. Puzzles are for the most part inventory-based. Wrong choices may lead to the hero's death and a premature end of the game.</p>

<p><em>Moraff's Revenge</em> is the first of Moraff's classic dungeon crawls. Choose to be a fighter or a wizard. The player runs about in four-color dungeons, returning to the top of the dungeon every once and awhile to climb up ropes into shops and inns.</p>
<p>The game features a map which fills in as more territory is explored. The "Beginner's Version" includes 17 levels before registering to have the full 70 levels available for play.</p>

<p>An educational "action" game that can teach math to children from grades 1 through 6.  Students can practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  Another level, for fractions/percents/decimals contains 5 sub-levels teaching reduction of common fractions, renaming improper fractions, renaming common fractions to decimals, renaming decimals as percents, and renaming percents as fractions.
Math problems can be displayed in either horizontal or vertical display, depending on preference.</p>
<p>Gameplay takes place on a screen with multiple answers to a problem ranged across the top of the screen, and a series of cannons below.  You must move your character to the cannon aimed at the correct answer.  There are 2 timers going- a seal bouncing a ball represents the time available to answer a given problem; a balloon decending towards a needle represents time left for the overall game.
The speed can be adjusted for players' skill levels.</p>
<p>Finally, an editor is included for parents/teachers to create their own lessons featuring particular problems.</p>

<p><em>Pirates of the Barbary Coast</em> is a strategy and business simulation game. You play as a captain named Articus whose daughter is kidnapped by Bloodthroat, a "lecherous pirate". You must raise 50,000 gold pieces as ransom, by transporting goods and battling nefarious high-seas pirates.</p>

<p>In this traditional baseball simulation, gameplay takes place mainly on a split screen.One side shows an overview of the field, the other showing the batter, with the latter view disappearing when the ball is hit.</p>
<p>The game requires you to "draft" a team before play, composing the best possible squad based on each player's skill attributes. The game also allows a semblance of managerial control, and has an optional batting practice mode to warm up. It then allows you to play individual games, or participate in a 4 division, 24-team championship.</p>

<p>The Franco family used to be one of the influential houses of Portugal. That is until the head of the family sailed out of a disastrous voyage to find the kingdom of Prester John. The disarray that followed brought about an end to the nobility of the Franco name. 100 years have passed and Portugal has prospered through it's sailing and trading empires. Young Leon Fanco wishes to restore his family's good name and make a name for himself as a sailor. At the heart of his ambition is the fair lady, Christiana, who is desired by the likely heir to the kingdom. Towards that end, Leon has been working hard to secure finances for his first ship. With the first step of his dream complete, Franco sails out with his father's good friend as first mate, you're off to find fame, adventure and fortunes out on the sea and in uncharted waters.</p>
<p><em>Uncharted Waters</em> is a sailing and trading simulation. Your goal is initially to sail between ports and trade goods between them to make a profit. Along the way, you may be called upon by merchants and royalty to do specific tasks. Several different nations as well as pirates roam the sea and not all have good relations with one another. You can take as long as you want and explore as much of the world as possible to complete your ultimate task of marrying Christiana, which will require your fame rating to be quite high anyway. Available at most ports is a trader for cargo, a supply station for your crew's food and water as well as repairs, a shipbuilder, an item store and finally a pub for gaining information, crew and gambling.</p>
<p>All of the game progresses on an overhead-view, by sea you navigate your fleet by direction and can issue additional orders including landing on any piece of land to search for supplies. A variety of hazards live at sea including storms, other ships, seaweed and simply bad winds and currents.</p>

<p>In the first <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1903/uncharted-waters/">Uncharted Waters</a> game, it was the 15th century and the New World was discovered. Now in <em>New Horizons</em>, it is the early 16th century and the age of exploration and sea trade is underway. Players choose from any one of six adventurers (scenarios), each with their own distinctive but intertwining plot, to embark on a quest of sailing, seamanship and exploration. The six characters are:<em> </em><em>João Franco</em>* is the son of Duke Leon Franco, the hero of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1903/uncharted-waters/">first Uncharted Waters</a> game and an influential man in Portugal. His father wants to make him into a strong man and so decides to send him out to sea. Young Joao is tasked with learning the skills of the sailor (he is the only character who starts at level one) and embarking on a quest of discovery; reaching the far east and eventually looking for the secret of Atlantis.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Catalina Erantzo</strong> is a Spanish naval officer who believes her beloved and her brother were both murdered by the Portuguese armada. Vowing revenge she turns to a life of piracy and soon becomes a red haired scourge of the seas.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Pietro Conti</strong> is a indebted man, having inherited the financial woes of the Conti family. When the Duchess Franco hires him to spy on her son, he accepts the job and obtains a ship. Pietro hopes to use these resources to seek out valuable treasure and clear up his family's debt.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Ernst Von Bohr</strong> is a geographer who is teaching classes in Holland. He yearns to leave the classroom and sail the high seas, living a life of adventure that he has only read about in books. When his friend, Mercator offers to finance his initial voyage in exchange for cartography information about the world, Ernst is given the opportunity to live out his dream.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Ali Vezas</strong> is a poor orphaned child living in Istanbul and serving others. He dreams of becoming his own master and making his own fortune across foreign lands. A twist of fate aides in providing him with small loans, with which he is able to afford his first ship and sail out with a cargo hold full of goods...</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Otto Baynes</strong> styles himself a Royal Knight of the British Empire, in the service of his majesty the king. Promoted to Admiral of the British fleet, the kingdom is worried about the increased naval power of Spanish fleets. Otto is given a letter of marque by the king and ordered to terrorize the Spanish Fleet. Equipping himself simply at first, Otto strives to become a great privateer in the name of king and country.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Regardless of the character chosen, <em>Uncharted Waters: New Horizons</em> is a top-down sailing simulation. At sea, players control the direction of their ship, where speed is affected by the number/health of the crew, the wind and the currents. Players can navigate anywhere there is water (though some ships are not ocean worthy) and discover interesting landmarks and new ports. Upon landing at a port, the view is also top-down and the player can enter different buildings, each with unique services and goods. These include: the Inn, the Item Shop, the Shipyard, the Tavern, the Castle, the Guild Hall, the Church, the Merchant and the Harbor. It's up to the player to earn enough gold to keep the crew fed and financed and keep the fleet repaired. Primary methods of earning money are through sea trade, accepting jobs from the guild, gambling and battle with other ships.</p>
<p>During naval combat, the game becomes a turn-based top-down strategy game, with the player moving ships in order to obtain trajectories needed to fire cannons at enemy ships, or run alongside enemy vessels in order to board them. If the player's flagship attacks the flagship of the enemy fleet, they can challenge the opponent to a duel. If accepted, the game changes to a side-view of the two captains engaged in a fight. During this sequence, the player can only choose which fighting maneuver (strike, thrust, parry, lash) they wish to engage in.</p>

<p>Ryan, a bartender from a dystopian future can't sleep peacefully for months. His nights are sequences of nightmares and strange dreams, days with frequent black-outs with strange visions, until one night a figure in monk attire appears to him, and tells him the story of the seven evil ones, uniting to destroy to Dreamweb, the only barrier between the world and darkness. The monk makes a proposition: Ryan becomes the "deliverer": the one who would keep the Dreamweb safe by killing those who try to destroy it.</p>
<p>Descending into paranoia and just wanting dreams to stop, Ryan accepts the mission, then wakes up in a puddle of cold sweat, next to his beloved girlfriend in her house, and late for work. Again.</p>
<p><em>DreamWeb</em> is a top-down adventure game set in a gritty futuristic dystopian city. Each location takes only a small portion of the screen without panning (except an optional small zoom window in the corner that follows the cursor), with the player interacting with objects and people by simply clicking them. Ryan has a limited inventory space, and as a lot of objects can be picked up (many without any use), the player must rationalize what might be useful and what just serves as filler. </p>
<p>Dialogue is straightforward, with no options, but still required to advance in the game (to find new locations, for instance). In situations where many adventure games usually feature an indirect approach to solve a problem, Ryan often faces himself with situations where it's "killed or be killed", which result in deaths (sometimes of innocents). The game also contains a few scenes with graphically explicit sexual situations.</p>
<p>The original release of the game included <em>Diary Of a (Mad?) Man</em>, a 40-page diary telling the descent of Ryan into madness, or his destiny, written by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Stephen+Marley">Stephen Marley</a>, providing a complete background to the events leading to the start of the game.</p>

Use the phone booth to go back in time to many different eras, collect items, and get historical "dudes" to follow you.  Some "dudes" won't come unless you can bribe them with the right object.  You must get them to follow you back to modern times so you can pass a history report and keep your band, the "Wyld Stallyns" together.</p>
<p>At the end of the game, you are graded based on time elapsed, and "dudes" accumulated.</p>

<p><em>Chex Quest</em> is a 3D FPS running on a modified <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/5974/3d-engine-id-tech-1/">DOOM engine</a>.</p>
<p>The planet Bazoik has been overrun by Flemoids- mucous-like alien creatures who are consuming all of the IFC's (Intergalactic Federation of Cereals) nutritious foods. You, a large square-shaped man must go in and rid the various levels of the miscellaneous green Flemoids.</p>
<p>Your weaponry starts out with a bootspoon (which can be upgraded to a Super Bootspork) and a small Zorcher (which uses Zorch energy). The Zorcher can, of course, be upgraded to frightening levels... Zorch is apparently an interdimensional substance, because enough of it can "send a Flemoid back to his homeworld."</p>
<p>You can strap on armor, of course- the armor is a Chex kibble (or a Super Chex kibble). This will protect you from the mucous that the Flemoids snort at you.</p>
<p>The opening contains a notice to concerned parents, avowing that the game is non-violent; to keep childrens' interest, the violence was replaced with (and they tried to be delicate here) gross booger sounds. Your character never "dies", but becomes immobilized by being covered from head to toe in mucous.</p>
<p>Healthy eating habits are also supposedly reinforced- health is regained by eating a bowl of fruit (10% energy), bowl of vegetables (25%), a glass of water (5%), or... yes... "a complete breakfast", featuring a bowl of cereal (presumably Chex), toast, glass of milk, and a piece of fruit, for a complete health boost.</p>

<p>Finally the champion long awaited by the Goddess Danu, has arrived. The people of the island of Eire (Ireland) have long suffered from the curses the evil Formors and their leader Balor, thus are in need of a High King to unite the scattered tribes.</p>
<p>To accomplish this, the player will descend from the heavens to Eire and pick a guise from 9 champions available. Gain respect of the other tribes of Eire through diplomacy and war. Unite them to become High King of Eire and finally defeat Balor once and for all!</p>
<p><em>Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye</em> is an isometric turn-based strategy game with various character development elements. Gameplay of this game may be identified as the following:
* <strong>Province Development</strong>  </p>
<p>To create a strong army, the player must first create a strong home. The game starts with the player's province as the main screen. Numbers on the screen indicate how strong or how many provincial elements they have. The player can also access the Fortress and Settlement menus from here. Here the province may be developed by own heroes through the following activities:
    + Farm: To provide grain during autumn harvest; 
    + Cowherd: To breed and maintain cattle, an invaluable trade resource in Eire;
    + Mine: Mine rocks to obtain metal used for building and item creation;
    + Chop: Chopping down trees will provide wood for building and item creation.<em> </em><em>Character and Hero Development</em>*  </p>
<p>The role-playing game (RPG) elements of the game start here. A hero comes with a unique portrait, class, statistics, inventory (one item per hero), and skill proficiencies. The land of Eire comes with a unique set of 3 different character classes: The Warrior, the Bard, and the Druid. Only Bards and Druids may cast spells. Spells are used and obtained by using specific orders of runes. Assigning Heroes on specific tasks may lead them to acquire certain skills than allow them to become better in certain roles.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Diplomacy and Trade</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>The Fortress and the Settlement areas allow the player to conduct diplomacy and barter agreements. In the Fortress section, the player may conduct tributes to open first-contact diplomatic channels with other tribes and further increase relationships by doing so, or may also attack (war) or attempt a cattle raid on neighboring provinces. In the Settlement section, the player may move heroes and resources to another province, send caravans, and resources for barter as well as create unique items through their heroes.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>War</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>War occurs when the player invades or is invaded by enemy heroes. Diplomatic ties are automatically broken when an invasion commences. A maximum of 7 heroes may attack or defend a province. The defending army has the option before-hand to defend or to flee. Fleeing armies takes with them a portion of the province resources. An attack ends when either:
    + The enemy leader is captured or is killed;<br>
    + The enemy routes;<br>
    + The attacking enemy stays too long, thus must retreat.
The winning army then decides the fate of the captured heroes (if any).</p>

<p>Compete in a 10-race motocross season with some of the world's best riders.  Trick out your bike by adjusting the fork angle, tire pressure, engine dynamics, suspension, and gear ratio to get the best possible performace.  (Different bike configurations are needed to be successful on different tracks.)  </p>
<p>Racing dynamics are also valid: Your bike can stall, get its wheel or fork bent out of shape, etc.  You also have complete control over squaring off (negotiating a corner), the mastery of which is required to do well in the game.</p>

<p>Willy Beamish is a kid who likes to goof off and have fun. Naturally, all the grown-ups get in the way by making him go to school, making him clean his room, etc. But now that's school's out for the summer, Willy is determined to have a good time and maybe even have his pet frog win the frog jumping contest. However Willy has a habit of getting into trouble, and naturally, that means it will be a challenge to get out of it.</p>
<p><em>The Adventures of Willy Beamish</em> is a point-and-click graphical adventure. You play Willy Beamish, an eight-year-old kid who is just trying to get through life without losing his lunch money. But he'll have to deal with parents, teachers, babysitters, and bratty sisters. The player must solve different puzzles to ensure Willy can progress, get out of trouble and generally avoid ending up grounded. </p>
<p>The in-game time progresses even if no action is taken. This means many puzzles have to be solved in a certain time frame or rely on being in the right place at the right time. A special aspect of this game is the bar which shows Willy's relationship with his parents. It gets affected by the way certain situations are resolved, e.g. it increases if Willy refuses to play with his sister, and when it is full they send Willy to a military school and the game is lost.</p>
<p>The GOG release of this game for Windows includes both Floppy and CD versions of the game. The main differences are that the CD version has updated graphics, features animations and animated character portraits instead of static images, enhanced audio, and full voice-acting whereas the Floppy version doesn't feature any voice-acting.</p>

<p><em>Aro</em> is a platform game in which the player controls the titular character, a small red creature, who must traverse stages primarily by running and jumping, at the same time trying not to get killed by the enemies. Aro has no means of defending himself; he cannot fight at all, and has to avoid any contact with the enemies. Three kinds of potions are scattered around the levels and can be collected to make Aro's task a bit easier: the blue potion allows him to fly for a short while; the red potion enhances his jumping skills; finally, the green potion reverses the gravity of the level. There are no "lives" or time limits of any kind in the game.</p>
<p>The registered version of <em>Aro</em> comes with 30 levels and a level editor, which allows players to create their own levels.</p>

<p>A very short point and click "adventure" game.  You attempt to meet and seduce a young red-headed woman named "Vida".</p>
<p>The graphics in this game are (for the most part) digitized still pictures of an actual model; while sexual in nature, they never rise above the level of softcore.</p>
<p>The gameplay is incredibly simplistic, and it can be very hard to make a wrong move- typically, if you make an error, the game just gives a brief quip regarding why a move didn't work, and then returns you to the exact same point to try again.</p>

<p>In <em>Alien Incident</em> you play the role of a teenager called Benjamin who is visiting his uncle's house at Halloween. His uncle, a home-grown scientist, attempts to activate his latest invention, the wormhole spawner. Amazingly enough, it works and rips open a wormhole to another galaxy, transporting an alien spacecraft to Earth. The aliens kidnap your uncle and, surprisingly, your mission is to rescue him (and the world, but you knew that already).</p>
<p>This is a humorous 2D point-and-click adventure game which consists of traditional inventory based puzzles and multiple-choice conversations. When clicking on an object with the left mouse button the game automatically chooses the appropriate action, e.g. collecting or using the item.</p>

<p><em>Genghis Khan</em> is a top-down 2D turn-based grand strategy game, based on the real mongol leader Genghis Khan's life.</p>
<p>The game's main objective is to become the supreme ruler. The player can select from two campaigns: Mongol conquest or World conquest. In the Mongol conquest, players take on the role as Temujin (later known as Genghis Khan), with the goal being to unite all the tribes of Mongolia. In the World conquest, Players can be one of four characters. Similar to the Mongol conquest, players must unite all the countries together. Players can use military force (players must gather an army and lead them into war) or use diplomacy (including things such as strategic marriages). </p>
<p>The main focus of the game involves management of territory, as the player manages various activities that improve their provinces. Battlefields are hex tiled based, with players giving commands to units groups with the objective of trying to defeat the forces of the enemy combatants.</p>

<p><em>Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Gray Wolf</em> is a 2D turn-based grand strategy game, based on the life of the historical Mongol leader Temujin, better known as Genghis Khan. The gameplay is similar to other grand strategy games from Koei, like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9093/romance-of-the-three-kingdoms/">Romance of the Three Kingdoms</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5825/nobunagas-ambition/">Nobunaga's Ambition</a>. The game has various scenarios from the Conquest of Mongolia (the unification of Mongol tribes) to World Conquest (with up to six playable factions). On the world/country map (divided into smaller provinces) the player develops his own provinces, gives orders to his subordinates, establishes alliances and recruits armies. The battles are presented in a separate mode, where the player directs troops using commands.</p>

<p><em>Romance of the Three Kingdoms III: Dragon of Destiny</em> is another strategy game by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1420/koei-co-ltd/">Koei</a>. The concept is the same here as in Koei's other wargames: conquer all you can!</p>
<p>In this case the historical setting is ancient China. The country is under the control of one Emperor, but all of the faction leaders want to be the emperor themselves. You begin with one territory and you must conquer more to win the game.</p>

<p><em>Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders</em> is the expanded version of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21987/heretic/">Heretic</a> retail release with the addition of two new episodes. This gives <em>Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders</em> a total of five episodes compared to the original <em>Heretic</em>'s three episodes (and a single episode for the shareware release).

<p>Your world has been ravaged by the three Serpent Riders from the Abyss. Afterwards two of the Riders have left, while one, D'Sparil remains to oversee the oppression. It is your duty, as the Heretic, to destroy this demon.</p>
<p>Heretic is the first game in the Heretic/Hexen franchise. Here begins <a href="/search/?q=Raven+Software">Raven's</a> tradition of taking <a href="/search/?q=id+Software">id's</a> latest game engines, improving on them, and using them in a fantasy game.</p>
<p>For Heretic, the <a href="/search/?q=Doom">Doom</a> engine was used. The Raven team enhanced the engine with the addition of an inventory system, the ability to look up and down, and the ability to fly, along with some lesser features such as powerful wind currents. Not counting the inventory, the core gameplay that made Doom such a hit remained the same.</p>

</li>
<li>
<p>The End of the Revolution.  </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The Glorious Empire.</p>
</li>
</ol>

<p><strong>STORY</strong>  </p>
<p>The European Wars against Spain and France have been costly to the British Empire. In order to gain additional funds for the war effort, the Crown raise taxes from the New World colonies without representation. This act compels the New World colonies to protest and boycott against British rule. By 1775, the Crown alarmed by the protests, boycotts and politically instability in the New World sends troops to subdue any rebellious efforts by the New World colonists. This threatening approach provokes the Thirteen Colonies to revolt. Thus starts the War for Independence in the New World (American Revolutionary War).</p>
<p><strong>GAMEPLAY</strong>  </p>
<p><strong>Choosing Sides</strong>  </p>
<p>In Liberty or Death, you partake in the American Revolutionary War, either as the "rebels" - the American Continental Army or as the "Crown" - the British Royal Army.</p>
<p>Choosing either one of the nations will prompt you to choose the leading Commander-in-Chief:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Continental Army: Charles Lee, Artemas Ward or George Washington.</li>
<li>The British Royal Army: Henry Clinton, Thomas Gage or William Howe.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Revolutionary Politics</strong>  </p>
<p>Each turn you will have to balance your treasury for the war effort. Money is provided by each state. The more states that support your cause, the more money will flow in your coffers. Money is spent in paying wages, strengthening the fleet and recruiting new regiments.</p>
<p>Here, if you have a sufficient fleet, you can also command your Navy officer to "control the seas" which is conducting a blockade and privateering against enemy ships. This may result in seized goods that will be added to your treasury. </p>
<p>The American Revolutionary War in Liberty or Death included everyone except the American Indians: [1] Revolutionary Militia: American supporters but not yet fully supportive of Continental Army (not under your full control) [2] Loyalist Militia: Militia supportive to the Crown [3] French Army: The French will support the American cause after a formal alliance is held. [4] Spanish Army: The Spaniards will support the American cause after a formal alliance is held.</p>
<p><strong>Revolutionary Combat</strong>  </p>
<p>The top-down turn-based combat introduces units available in the Revolutionary War: Infantry, Guerrilla, Cavalry and Artillery (Engineers). Combat near shores may also be joined by Naval units: Fleet and Fires Ships.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1420/koei-co-ltd/">Koei</a> made an incursion into the fantasy worlds of magic with this game.</p>
<p>Six magicians, each trapped inside a magical gem, are liberated from the crown Gemfire by Princess Robyn, daughter of the tyrannical ruler of Ishmeria, King Eselred. Fleeing across the length and breadth of the island nation, they each choose a leader from the greatest noble houses as their champion to topple Eselred and bring peace to Ishmeria. </p>
<p>Players select one of these noblemen and seek to unite all the provinces under their banner through a combination of warfare and diplomacy.</p>

<p><em>Clash of Steel: World War II, Europe 1939-45</em> is a strategic board game were you take control of the Axis or the Allied forces. As axis leader you must conquest all Europe and North Africa prior January 1946 to win the game at 100%. If you are not eradicated prior this date you win to, but the allied nations still are live and this is not your goal. As Allied you must eradicate the Axis terror as quickly as you could.</p>

<p>The game is an historical simulation of the European and North African theaters of World War II. The game allows up to two players to role-play as Army commanders for either the Axis or Allied forces. This game emphasizes the military aspects of the war and leaves diplomacy to the politicians.</p>

<p>Having simulated modern-day planes with <a href="/search/?q=Flight+of+the+Intruder">Flight of the Intruder</a>, and World War 2 with <a href="/search/?q=Overlord">Overlord</a>, Rowan brought World War 1 to life in this flight simulation. It is structured around an illustrated book with pilot biographies, all of which modify as the game goes on and events unfold. 150 missions are featured, each with fully inter-linked briefings. There are 13 different fighter planes to fly, both Allied and German (Fokker Dr.I, Fokker Eindecker, Fokker D.VII, Albatros D.I, D.II, D.III, Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5a, Airco DH.2, Sopwith Pup, Sopwith Camel, Sopwith Triplane, Nieuport Scout, SPAD VII).</p>

<p>This game lets you design and play turn-based strategic battles. You can create scenarios between years 1846 and 1905. You have complete control over all the units, and can customize their firepower, movement points, strength, aggressiveness, etc.</p>
<p>Supports 1 or 2 players. Comes with pre-made scenarios and various campaigns (American civil war, Russo-Japanese War, Franco-Prussian,...). </p>
<p>The graphics win the respect the first two WCS (I and Tanks!), and now you can view your troops in the field.</p>

<p><em>Hexen</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21987/heretic/">Heretic</a>. While the Heretic was destroying D'Sparil, the other two Serpent Riders have come to your dimension and slaughtered everyone. Or so they thought. Three humans have managed to escape with their lives and now seek vengeance against the Serpent Rider Korax who remains in their world.</p>
<p>Like <em>Heretic</em>, <em>Hexen</em> is a fantasy game based on an enhanced <a href="/search/?q=3D+Engine:+DOOM">DOOM engine</a>. All of <em>Heretic</em>'s innovations like vertical looking, flying, and the inventory system have been carried over. The new major changes this time around are three characters for the player to choose from and the level hub system. The characters are the Fighter, the Cleric, and the Mage. Each one has four unique weapons and different levels of speed and armor.</p>
<p>The hub system steps away from the traditional "single levels stringed along into episodes" system which had been carried over into the FPS genre from sidescrollers and made popular by <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D:+The+Claw+of+Eisenfaust">Wolfenstein 3D</a>. In <em>Hexen</em>'s hub system each episode is still made up of interconnected levels, but most of the levels are connected to a single "hub" level through portals. There are also portals between some of the "spoke" levels. Many of the puzzles in <em>Hexen</em> require travel back and forth between different levels.</p>
<p>Other innovations in <em>Hexen</em> include weather effects, jumping, earth-quakes, and destructible objects such as trees and vases. The game also includes scripted sequences created with a language called ACS, allowing for much more complex puzzles and dramatic scenes.</p>

<p>This was the final update to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/463/championship-manager-2/">Championship Manager 2</a>, and it was fully debugged and had the AI tidied up in several areas. The team and player data was updated for the 97/98 season, meaning that Michael Owen has emerged at Liverpool and Emmanuel Petit has joined Arsenal, for example. Nine different leagues are included, and up to 3 of these can be played at once on 16 Megabyte machines. As a result of this, more teams and players are included in the game system than ever, making for a more realistic player-signing challenge. A full data editor is included for the first time.</p>

<p>A motorcycle racing game recreating the now-defunct 80cc world motorcycle racing championship. It was licensed around Spanish ace Jorge Martinez 'Aspar', and your (and his) racing rivals including future 500cc World Champion Alex Criville.</p>
<p>The game features a full practice mode as well as qualifying and races. There are only 8 computer bikes, although the real life championship points system is used, meaning that the penalty for not finishing is bigger than in real life, especially as you only have 5 bikes to last the season. The game is viewed from overhead, and the controls are, unusually, direction based, so to take a straight which (in the overhead view) involves going up and to the right, you must push the joystick in that direction.</p>

You must learn the power of the winds, gain the knowledge for trade and diplomacy, build windmills and strike your enemy where it hurts the most. Only try doing that and stay alive.</p>

<p><em>Battle Chess</em> is a quite typical chess game, but it comes with a twist: all pieces are represented by small, realistic figures that walk around on the chessboard, and when one piece takes another, they both take part in an animated battle. There is a different animation for each permutation, depending on which pieces are capturing or being captured. You can also play in 2D without animation. </p>
<p>The game's opening library includes 30,000 different moves, ensuring a variety of games will unfold across the 10 skill levels. </p>
<p>Multi-player support can be extended to modem and/or serial port play.</p>

<p>As a ninja with a mission to "redeem Naipusan, the once
peaceful land that was destroyed by the northern armies", you have to defeat the evil Shogun of Death. </p>
<p><em>Shadow Knights</em> is a platform game where you try to complete several levels, such as a village, a cemetery or a castle, before confronting the final boss. On each level, you'll encounter a lot of enemies - initially dogs and ninjas with clubs and bows, but more types of enemies appear later. </p>
<p>To defeat them, you can slash at them with your sword. However, your ninja also has magic powers. He can spend this magical energy to toss magical projectiles at the enemies, or to restore his health. Depleted magical energy can be refilled by collecting golden spheres scattered throughout the levels.</p>

<p>As a Super Solver, your job is to recover the hidden treasures of the ancient world in 4 caverns (Greece &amp; Rome, Egypt, India &amp; China and Near East) to reach the fifth and final cavern where the ultimate challenge awaits you. </p>
<p><em>Challenge of the Ancient Empires</em> is a platform game, divided into 5 levels (called "caverns"), each of which includes 4 sub-levels ("chambers"). In each chamber you have to collect 6 pieces of an ancient artifact and assemble them like a jigsaw puzzle.</p>
<p>The chambers are full of dangerous animals which you have to avoid. There's some food you can collect to regain lost health though. The chambers are also full of puzzles, usually involving manipulation of switches. </p>
<p>You have 3 tools with you - a helmet with a headlight, jumping shoes and shields. The helmet emits a beam of light when activated; it is used to solve puzzles that rely on rotating prisms to direct a light beam to a switch. The jumping shoes allow you to, well, jump higher. The shield protects you from enemies for a short time when activated, but you have a limited number of shields and they need to be used wisely.</p>

<p>Beginning in 1986, SubLOGIC, developers of the original Flight Simulator Series, released "Scenery Disks" which added airports, buildings, and landscape to regions outside the basic ones.  In 1990, they re-released the disks in sets.  </p>
<p>"Set B" includes: Scenery Disk #9 (expanded Chicago area, St. Louis, Cincinnati), Scenery Disk #12 (expanded New York area, Montreal, Halifax), and Hawaiian Odyssey (which included a treasure hunt across the islands, as well as "Experimental Scenery") (see Trivia for more).</p>
<p>This set works with all the original SubLOGIC-developed flight simulations, including Microsoft Flight Simulator versions 1-4, Sublogic Jet, and Flight Assignment: ATP.</p>
<p>The box cover was identical for all Scenery Collection sets, except for the gold sticker on the upper left.</p>

<p>After releasing 12 Flight Simulator scenery disks for the US, followed by some grouped sets, subLOGIC took the next step and put the entire US in two releases, East and West.  The scenery in these releases is a complete overhaul from the original disks.   </p>
<p>The East collection fills 5 3.5" disks, and includes airports, buildings, and landscape like the previous releases, but in a higher quantity.  An airport selector add-on for Flight Simulator is also included, as well as six large (about 3 ft x 2 ft) color maps of the entire region.</p>
<p>USA East works with Microsoft Flight Simulator version 4 (and in an updated release, version 5), as well as subLOGIC's own Flight Assignment series.</p>
<p>USA East &amp; West, plus Flight Assignment: ATP, were all later packaged on one CD-ROM.</p>

<p>The year is 1193, and the Third Crusade has just ended. Richard the Lionheart, King of England, returns to Europe from the Holy Land. On the way, he is ambushed and abducted by the soldiers of the Austrian duke Leopold. The duke demands a large ransom to be paid in exchange for the king's freedom. However, the king's brother, Prince John, is content with the situation and plotting to take the throne for himself. That is when the legendary Robin Hood, one who robs from the rich and gives to the poor, decides to raise the money needed to liberate the king, with the help of his fellow outlaws of Sherwood Forest.</p>
<p><em>Conquests of the Longbow</em> is an adventure game and a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1408/conquests-of-camelot-the-search-for-the-grail/">Conquests of Camelot</a>. It uses an icon-based interface common to most contemporary Sierra adventures. Like its spiritual predecessor, it differs from most other games in the genre by reducing traditional inventory-based puzzles in favor of exploration and varied tasks dictated by the situation at hand. These include talking to characters, gathering information, making decisions, solving riddles, or participating in mini-games such as combat, archery contest, and Nine Men's Morris (with adjustable difficulty).</p>
<p>The game is divided into days; each day is completed when certain tasks have been fulfilled. It is, however, possible to fail some of those tasks and still advance the plot. Several situations can be handled in different ways. The player's decisions affect Robin Hood's ranking towards the end of the game. Number of points scored, the amount of money collected for the ransom, and the fate of Robin's fellow outlaws are considered when awarding the rank. Depending on these factors the player reaches one of the four possible endings, ranging from Robin getting hanged to a happy conclusion of his love life.</p>

<p>The prophecy has been fulfilled. The world shall be ruled by the dragons. On an island far away, their lords prepare for the conquest of the lands. There is only one hope for mankind. The emperor sends out four heroes -- warriors and magicians -- to solve the puzzle of tears and prevent the invasion of the Drakkhen.</p>
<p><em>Drakkhen</em> is a role-playing game with a visual presentation that combines 3D landscapes and 2D interiors. The player's party will travel overland on a flat terrain made up of vectors, on which 2D objects are zoomed (The same type of engine was later used in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1368/eternam/">Eternam</a>). The player will encounter monsters and fight them in real-time combat, and discover the palaces of the dragon lords. Indoors, the player has to find a way through the maze of chambers, solving puzzles and defeating the minions of the Drakkhen. Party members are depicted in four status windows on the left side of the screen, thus allowing to see their current status and equipment at once.</p>

<p>Around the time of the Amiga version of Street Fighter 2, Amiga specialists Team 17 came up with a similar one on one beat 'em up, designed around the machine's strengths and weaknesses.</p>
<p>In one-player mode you have four characters to choose from - brothers Dan and Nik play identically, Lo-Ray is a Buddhist Monk, and Junior a failed boxer.</p>
<p>The opponents include a Ninja warrior, a businessman whose post-fight catchphrase is 'I'm sorry about that', and a thin Spanish girl. The backdrops feature lots of color and animation, varying from wrestling rings to building sites and beaches.</p>
<p>The control is designed around one-button controllers, with special moves generated by pushing in a certain direction and pressing fire, and one 'super special' move by holding fire for a few seconds. The real skill is in combining these moves effectively.</p>

<p>A fighting game pitting warriors plucked out of time and forced to battle each other. <em>Savage Warriors</em> features 10 main characters and 5 secret characters fighting over interactive terrain with a variety of weapons. There is also a limited "3D"software mode.</p>

<p>An original card game, a visual puzzle game and a physical pendulum puzzle rolled into one.  Players can tackle hundreds of puzzles individually or in a sequential "Pilgrimage" where their progress is rewarded with zen koans.</p>

<p>Mason Powers, a former CIA agent, awakens in a Turkish asylum with many of his memories erased. Gradually recovering from his amnesia, Mason realizes that he has been locked up for allegedly murdering his supervisor. Convinced that he is innocent, Mason eventually escapes from the mental hospital. However, that brings him back to his old job, where he becomes entangled in a world-wide conspiracy of espionage, terrorism, and murder.</p>
<p><em>Countdown</em> is an adventure game with emphasis on traveling and conversation, though inventory-based puzzles are present as well. Over the course of the game the protagonist travels to many different locations around the world, though the areas themselves are fairly small. Interaction is performed by choosing verb commands such as Look, Get, Taste, and others. There are no "hot spots" that indicate than an object can be interacted with. A bulk of the game is dedicated to conversations, which include, among others, special commands such as Help, Hassle, Pleasant, and Bluff. Sometimes choosing a wrong action may lead to a premature end of the game.</p>
<p>A few segments involve navigating top-down mazes. It is possible to die in various ways and also get irrevocably stuck. The game imposes a time limit of ninety-six in-game hours on the player. Certain actions - such as spending more money and traveling by plane instead of a train - may help the player stay well within this limit. The game is notable for using digitized photography alongside hand-painted graphics; character portraits are all scanned photos. It also uses digitized music and speech samples, which can be heard even with a PC speaker thanks to a special software.</p>

</ul>

<p><em>Cadaver</em> is an isometric 3D arcade adventure, played using a joystick and keys. In the person of the thief Karadoc, the player sets out to raid the five stories of the castle Wulf. Legend has it that it’s filled with treasure. What the legend didn’t say is that the Castle is also filled with deadly traps, riddles and monsters. Surviving is not only a question of defending your life. Karadoc needs to explore the murky dungeons and eerie corridors to prove his wit in collecting and interacting with objects, putting them to the right use, mastering spells and solving tasks posed by the gods. Quick reflexes and jumping skill wouldn’t hurt either. The ultimate objective is to kill the necromancer, Dianos.</p>
<p>Karadoc's basic skills include the ability to walk, jump, climb stairs and fight monsters. There are three major modes of controlling the dwarf and his actions: basic movement, interacting with objects via icons and the rucksack.</p>

<p>Stellar Conquest 3 is a shareware game. The goal of the game is to destroy your enemies starbases. In order to do this, you must mine stars, build warships, scout for the enemy, and then do battle. There are three different weapons which can be built on a ship, all with different damage, accuracy and range. In addition, there are torpedoes which can be fired at any point on the map, regardless of distance, but they are very inaccurate. The controls are extremely easy to use.</p>

<p>One-hundred and five solitaire games rendered in beautiful graphics (for 1992).  Games have full rules and will allow different users to "log into" the game and keep averages and high scores.</p>
<p>Players can also build their own "tournaments" by selecting a sub-set of the games and playing for the highest score.</p>
<p>"Quests" allow users to play solitaire games to navigate through a graphical house to find treasure.</p>

<p>In <em>Air Force Commander</em> the player takes command of a Middle Eastern country's air force to gain air superiority over the enemy. As the title suggests this game focuses solely on aircraft and rocket bases. The main part of the game is spent on the overhead map where the player gives orders to his units, e.g. attacking ground targets and scouting or intercepting enemy forces. Different map views show information like targets in range, flight movements in the monitored zones, or civil facilities. Another important aspect of the game is resource management: every base and unit costs resources. If these get scarce the player can shut down some bases. If the public mood gets too bad, e.g. because of destroyed civil facilities or food shortage, the player loses his commission and therefore the game.</p>

<p>A World War 2 strategy game covering the war on the eastern front from 1941 to 1945. Game-scale is set to corps level (Russian corps-level units are army sized). Both, Russian and German, sides can be played. The player has full control over all aspects of the war including production of war material. The forces of both side are simulated into detail and you can review your divisions up to squad/tank level. There are several different starting points available, for example 22 Jun 1941 (Operation Barbarossa) or 5 Jul 1943 (Operation Zitadelle; Battle of Kursk). Events on other fronts (North Africa, Italy, Western Front) are also simulated and can be influenced indirectly by the player. The axis player will also have to deal with the strategic bombing campaign of allied bomber fleets.</p>

<p><em>PowerMonger</em> takes the basic design and concepts of <a href="/search/?q=Bullfrog">Bullfrog</a>'s previous game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/613/populous/">Populous</a>, and places it in a war context. The game cast the player as a dispossessed warlord plundering his way through 195 territories on the way to world conquest. Several other leaders have the same goal.</p>
<p>The gameworld is now made up of polygons, so the view can be rotated and moved with greater freedom than Populous. Trade, diplomacy, inventions, and scorched earth invasions all play a key role in how the player progresses through the game. Two-player games via modem links are available on computer versions.</p>

Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi - Speech Accessory Pack

<p><em>Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi - Speech Accessory Pack</em> is an add-on for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/823/wing-commander-ii-vengeance-of-the-kilrathi/">Wing Commander II</a>. It adds digitized speech to all space combat communications and to a few cinematic sequences.</p>

<p>An add-on to the action-flightsim Strike Commander. It adds digitized speech to all in-flight communications and some cinematic sequences.</p>

<p>In this game, you control a historical character, Robert Ripley (1893-1949), a famous traveler and collector of rarities. One day, during a travel in Egypt, Ripley was attacked by mysterious Chinese assassins. The trail leads him and his Chinese girlfriend Mei Chen to the Forbidden City of Beijing. There he becomes involved in a mystery that will take him to exotic locations all around the globe. </p>
<p>The game plays like a traditional puzzle-solving adventure. Ripley will have to talk to various people, searching for information, but the main emphasis of the gameplay is still on puzzles, mainly inventory-based. The game features live actors filmed over pre-rendered backgrounds. Cut scenes are often presented as full-motion movies shown in small screens with close-up on the actors.</p>

<p>Kent Knutson is a teenager who lives in the city of Neutropolis. The city is controlled by a totalitarian regime, which prohibits people to express any emotions that would deviate from the prescribed norm - such as joy and happiness. Kent is arrested by the Norms, the police force of Neutropolis, and put in prison for whistling a merry tune. In prison, he received an anonymous note that tells him that there is a resistance group somewhere in the city, which seeks to overthrow the dictator of Neutropolis. The question is - how can Kent find that resistance group?..</p>
<p><em>Normality</em> is an adventure game done entirely in 3D, similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/850/under-a-killing-moon/">Under a Killing Moon</a>, though with more colorful, cartoon-like visuals. Besides the somewhat unusual (for the genre) engine, the game plays like a traditional puzzle-solving adventure, primarily relying on manipulation of objects Kent is able to pick up and put in his inventory.</p>

<p>Aliens threaten to destroy the earth via a huge bomb embedded deep within the planet.  As a challenge to the human race, they have agreed to let Earth's finest pilot to get into a high-speed ship to get to the bomb before the timer runs out.  </p>
<p>Your ship has minimal shields to protect you from slamming into walls as you navigate the deep underground tunnels.  But it's not easy:  You'll have no idea which tunnels are the fastest/shortest until a split second before you get to them, and there are alien weapons trying to destroy you along the way.</p>
<p>If you manage to complete the run and save the earth, you can tell the program to randomly generate an entirely new game with different tunnels for endless replayability.</p>

<p><em>Sharkey's 3D Pool</em> is one of the earliest 3D cue-sports games, featuring a fully-rotating table and variable viewpoint allowing for much more realistic shot-playing than the traditional top-down game style (although the game can be played this way instead). The pace, spin and angle of each shot can be set up precisely before playing it. Both 8-ball (pot your seven colors plus the black to win) and 9-ball (pot the 9-ball with a shot that also hits the lowest remaining ball, whatever that may be) are included.</p>
<p>There are seven skill levels to work through. A trick-shot mode is also included, with 20 pre-set shots. Prior to each match it is possible to bet on the outcome.</p>

<p>A old and fun game from 90's.  You need to survive a electronics rebellion.</p>
<p>You can play with George and ask Rosie for help.</p>
<p>Very simple commands and goals.</p>

<p>If you've ever seen the game show you know what the game is like: Two families compete against each other and need to guess the five popular answers to questions like "Name today's top female singer". The amount of people (always a hundred total) who answered the same thing as the family equals the rewarded points. So for example if 20 persons said "Madonna", the family would get 20 points when guessing it.
and need to guess the most popular. There are three to five rounds and in the end the family with the most points win.</p>

<p>PowerHits Sports is a compilation of games that includes FaceOff, Motocross, Pro Tennis Tour, and Power Drift.</p>

<p><em>Land Sea and Air!</em> is a compilation from MicroProse that includes previously released versions of <a href="/search/?q=M-1+Tank+Platoon">M-1 Tank Platoon</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/261/silent-service-ii/">Silent Service II</a>, and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/512/f-19-stealth-fighter/">F-19 Stealth Fighter</a>.</p>

<p>It is the present time (1993), and many people are about to enjoy the performance of the opera "Don Juan Triumphant" at the Palais Garnier. However, that piece of art will soon become covered with the blood of innocents, as the great ceiling chandelier crushes down on the crowd.</p>
<p>The player controls Raoul Montand, a detective who's been asked for help by his old friend Monsieur Brie, the manager of the Opera. Bringing Raoul to a crime scene, he leaves him in hope he'll find some clues and prevent this terror from happening again. Supposedly, the disaster was caused by a being known as the Phantom of the Opera, a mysterious creature who has been haunting the opera house since 1881. The detective is about to find out what secrets lie beneath the surface, looking for clues in the present time and traveling back to 1881.</p>
<p><em>Return of the Phantom</em> is a third-person adventure game based on the book <em>Phantom of the Opera</em> by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/26625/gaston-leroux/">Gaston Leroux</a>. The player interacts with the environment by selecting verb commands (Look, Talk, Take, Push, etc.) from a menu and combining them with objects to gather information, solve puzzles, and advance the story. Most of the events in the game take place inside the opera house, including the numerous tunnels and secret passages beneath it, which are supposedly the Phantom's residence. The CD version of the game adds voice-overs to the dialogues.</p>

<p>Low Blow is a beyond-the-rules boxing game where illegal hits are, in fact, legal.  Landing a punch in someone's genitals is not only a legal move in this game, it's also quite effective.</p>
<p>You can play a tournament against the computer or a simple game against your friends.</p>

<p>Tecmo's <em>World Cup '90</em> arcade game was remodeled based on the 1992 European Championships for its home computer release. The tournament's structure of the time (2 groups of 4 play each other once, top 2 go through to semi-finals followed by a final) is recreated, with any of Europe's soccer nations available to be chosen as those 8, and 1 or 2 human players choosing their team, playing on either keyboard or joystick.</p>
<p>The matches are played from a side-scrolling perspective. The ball sticks to the player's foot, and can be kicked or passed with a press of the fire button. The referee is fairly lenient when it comes to tough sliding tackles, although fierce contact will result in a free kick being given.</p>

<p>You are a hero raised from the dead by the god Zeus to rescue his daughter Athena. With scenery inspired by Ancient Greece, you have to fight hordes of undead and demons, with a boss at the end of each level until you meet the god Neff, who holds the girl captive.</p>
<p>The <em>Altered Beast</em> title refers to your shapeshifting abilities. In this platformer, you can collect spirit balls by defeating two-headed wolves, allowing you to mutate into different beasts such as a werewolf, a dragon, a tiger, a bear and others depending on the version. Each form, tied to a level, comes with special abilities such as flight and powerful attacks, easily superseding the basic set of punches and kicks in your human form.</p>
<p>The game can be played in single player mode, or in same-screen multiplayer co-op mode.</p>

<p>Licensed by the classic British car company, this game featured 2 modes of play - one has you racing against 19 computer rivals (with witty names such as Alain Phosphate and Crash-Hard Banger), and the other pits you against the clock. </p>
<p>There are 13 different types of races, ranging from Motorways to night-time to sections punctuated by roadworks, and some are lap-based with others being simple A-B. 2 players could play on a split screen mode.</p>
<p>The game's crowning glory, however, was the RECS editor, which allowed you to create courses of your own, with theoretically millions possible.</p>

<p>A small little financial game- something like the old <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/24035/lemonade-stand/">Lemonade Stand</a> games, except for the drug sales, robberies, shootouts with the police.</p>
<p>No graphics- everything takes place on a text screen. You start out with $500, in one of 8 cities (Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Diego, and Washington DC). Buy and sell 8 different types of drugs (Ludes, Speed, Grass, Crystal, Acid, Heroin, Crack, Cocaine- in order from lowest to highest in street value.) Sock some money into the bank so you don't lose it due to robbery; visit loan sharks (and try to pay them off before they beat you up); buy overcoats to increase your "holding" potential, and more.</p>
<p>You also attempt to build your reputation- but the higher your reputation, the more cops on your tail. You can try to run or fight the cops (and if you've got the rep, bring along friends)- but fights with large numbers of cops can quickly kill you, and trying to run from large numbers of cops can be nearly impossible.</p>
<p>Drug prices fluctuate seemingly at random (but around a base point) when going from city to city, although large scale events like street raids, factory explosions, etc. can cause temporary price increases or decreases in one round while in the same city.</p>

<p><em>Dragon Wars</em> takes place in the magical land of Dilmun, an island of salvation perverted into a world of horror by Namtar (as you might expect - the bad guy).</p>
<p>The player starts with a party of four in the city of Purgatory, equipped with nothing more than.. well - nothing. Worst of all your magic users won't help you out, either, because magic has been banned (to correct this unpleasing situation is one of your main objectives). 
Other main targets are surviving, getting out of Purgatory and toppling Namtar (maybe getting some decent clothing, one or two shiny swords and the like on your way out).</p>
<p>Gameplay instantly reminds of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bard's+Tale">Bard's Tale</a> series. Step-by-step first person 3D, opponents materialize out of the air. The combat system is turn based.</p>
<p>Unlike its (spiritual?) predecessors the game features a full-blown skill system, auto-mapping and many places to actually use all these abilities.<br>
Reasonable distribution of your skill points is rather critical.</p>

<p>A very basic translation of the popular game show Wheel Of Fortune, where you guess letters until you can guess the phrase.  This CGA version has three old-school rounds of Wheel of Fortune (where the puzzles are simply "Phrase", "Title", "Person", etc.) and then a bonus round.  You can compete against 2 computer players or up to three people can play against each other.</p>

<p>The Apple II titles contain an Apple II emulator for Windows that can run them.</p>

<p>This enhanced remake of <a href="/search/?q=Police+Quest:+In+Pursuit+of+the+Death+Angel">Police Quest</a> has been completely re-drawn using 256-color VGA graphics. Instead of the text-based interface of the original version, the remake features icons corresponding to the commands Walk, Look, Touch, and Talk for interaction with the game world.</p>
<p>The two versions also have some gameplay-related differences. The driving sequences from the original game have been simplified: the player is no longer required to physically navigate the car and input is limited to making the right turns while the car is driven automatically, and occasionally braking at stop signs. The mandatory poker mini-game during the final segment of the game has been made optional. A few puzzles have different solutions, though not all of those are simplified, and in some instances the puzzles have become more complex in the remake.</p>
<p>Story-wise, the game remains the same for the most part, but it also includes re-written and additional dialogue not seen in the earlier version.</p>

<p><em>Monopoly Deluxe</em> is a conversion of the classic board game. The game allows for some user-based rule changes such as money given for landing on "Free Parking".</p>

<p><em>Star Wars Chess</em> is a chess game where the pieces are characters from the <a href="/search/?q=Star+Wars+universe">Star Wars universe</a>. When pieces are taken, an animated battle is shown, much like in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1950/battle-chess/">Battle Chess</a>.</p>

<p>All the characters from the first three Mortal Kombat games return for the ultimate battle. You can play as Kano, Reptile, Mileena, Kung Lao, Shang Tsung, Sindel, Sketor, Stryker, Nightwolf, Sheeva, Kitana, Scorpion, Sonya, Smoke (Cyber Ninja), Rain, Jade, Baraka, Johnny Cage, Ermac, Noob Saibot, Sub-Zero (Unmasked), Sub-Zero (Classic), Jax, Rayden, Cyrax, Liu Kang, Smoke (Human), Kabal, Goro, Kintaro, Motaro, or Shao Kahn.</p>
<p>This game is one-on-one martial arts fighting. The player can choose from over thirty different characters, all with their own fighting style and their own special moves. Trilogy differs from the other games in that you can play combinations of people that otherwise isn't possible, such as old Liu Kang vs. new Liu Kang, etc.</p>
<p>Mortal Kombat Trilogy also allows you to challenge a friend to a fight through a Windows IPX network connection.</p>

<p>Subtitled <em>Spellbound in the World of Nhagardia</em>, this <a href="/search/?q=Microprose">Microprose</a> title came out the same year as their more popular work, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/258/darklands/">Darklands</a>. It is a top-down 256-color VGA role-playing game with a few unique twists.</p>
<p>As Prince of Alonia, the player controls a party of up to 10 (!) characters, battling the evil lord Grimnoth in a standard fantasy setting. The game features "<a href="/search/?q=Ultima">Ultima</a>-style" character generation, in which the player's answers to situational questions help determine the protagonist's character type (diplomat, warrior, thief, or wizard) and attributes. An immense number of skills and attributes, akin to that of <a href="/search/?q=Daggerfall">Daggerfall</a>, add variety to the gameplay, allowing puzzles to be solved in different ways. Dawdling endlessly in side quests to build up your party is not a good idea, as the player has 100 days to stop the encroaching Plague of Darkness, whose spread is shown graphically in the interface. </p>
<p>Under the "PAL system", characters not only have their own personalities (aggressive, cowardly), but will speak up and volunteer for tasks they are best-suited to perform (e.g., lockpicking, bribery).</p>

<p>Sorcerer Lord is a medieval fantasy game of tactical warfare.</p>
<p>The evil Shadowlord's army is threatening to overrun the peaceful country of Galanor. The alliance of races in Galanor isn't very fond of suppression, slavery or extinction, so they are preparing for war -- it's your job to coordinate the Galanorian defense.</p>
<p>Movement and combat are turn-based. You and the Shadowlord alternately recruit new troops, move armies on a 2D hex-map of the land and try to conquer the enemies garrisons. The outcome of fights is shown as plain text only. Although the gameplay is quite simple, there are a few tactical knacks like certain races fighting more fiercely in certain terrain types, fatigue levels and basic statistics for army leaders. Despite the game's title, magic is a rather unimportant element of chance in battles and not under your direct control.</p>
<p>The game contains a time limit; you've got 40 turns in easy level, less in advanced levels.</p>

<p>Quadralien is a real-time puzzle game in the tradition of <a href="/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a>.</p>
<p>The future: Mankind's space stations throughout the solar system are powered by a huge space reactor, called Astra. Astra is about to break down. The enemy race of Quadraliens has captured the reactor; now, contamination is rising and total failure is imminent. The last chance are six remotely controlled droids, which are to clean Astra and destroy the Quadrailen mother in Astras core.</p>
<p>You're controlling two robots in each of the 19 levels, cleaning up the contamination on your way. Gameplay is a variation of Sokoban: You've got to push spheres in the right direction to clear the way. However, the spheres are magnetically charged, meaning that they repell or attract each other. You've got to consider chain reactions. </p>
<p>Before entering a level, you may chose which robots to take with you. Each droid has different abilities, like higher range of movement, higher capacity to carry contaminated materials, or a magnetic charge of its own. You can blast your way out of hopeless situations with a limited number of detonators, and you may restart every level with already removed contamination staying removed. However, there's a time limit for the whole game in form of reactor core temperature and energy, so be quick!</p>

<p>The city of Mittledorf is in chaos - an evil cousin of the King is oppressing the people. Your cousin Sven is not evil though, so when he disappears, you head to Mitteldorf to try to track him down.</p>
<p><em>Legends of Valour</em> is a role-playing game using a similar movement system to <a href="/search/?q=Ultima+Underworld">Ultima Underworld</a>. You walk through the world in real time, passing texture-mapped buildings. The complex gameworld is over a mile squared and includes 40 miles of underground tunnels, as well a thousands of characters getting on with their daily business.</p>
<p>When designing your character, you can customise his or her looks, and this affects your likelihood of being befriended or fought. To make any inroads into finding Sven, you will need to join professional Guilds and complete quests. You have spells available to you, but will need to acquire more as the game progresses.</p>

<p>Somewhere on the top floor of a sinister tower, there is an evil wizard who likes conjuring powerful deities. Those mighty creatures threaten the wizard, but they are trapped in magical cages, unable to act. To prevent the revenge of gods, the wizard imprisoned the souls of the four greatest gods in four talismans, and then hid them in four different dungeons. Controlling a party of adventurers, you must retrieve these talismans and release the gods.</p>
<p>This is a first-person RPG with a 4-person party made up of warriors, wizards, rangers, and assassins.  Characters are pre-generated and chosen from a pool of 16 adventurers (4 of each class).  Choose from 32 spells drawn from the disciplines of earth, chaos, dragon, and night magic. Combat takes place on the same screen as exploration and is fully in real-time.</p>

<p>This is a large collection of over 900 levels for <a href="/search/?q=Doom:+Evil+Unleashed">DOOM</a> and <a href="/search/?q=DOOM+II:+Hell+on+Earth">    DOOM II: Hell on Earth</a>. Also included are a number of utilities, such as Windows conversions to add <em>DOOM</em> graphics to Windows, and a <em>DOOM</em> WAD Installation shell called D!.</p>
<p>These levels were gathered from many level designers, they were not written by Wizardworks. Wizardworks gathered the levels and released them all on one CD.</p>
<p>A full version of <em>DOOM</em> V. 1.666 or <em>DOOM II</em> is required to run these levels.</p>

<p>Rock 'n Roll is a real-time puzzle game.</p>
<p>You know, there's this ball, and it's stuck in a labyrinth for no apparent reason. Never mind -- let's just help him out, okay?
You control the friendly, spotted ball with the cursor keys. It'll gain speed as it goes, bounce off when it hits obstacles, loose energy when it's caught in traps, die when it falls off the platform. The 32 levels through which you've got to guide the ball are full of traps: laser barriers, ramps, tubes, breakable tiles etc. Colored keys will open doors, switches create (or destroy!) helpful items. These include picks to repair floor tiles, parachutes to prevent you from falling off and bombs to destroy walls. Items have to be bought with coins that are found all over the level. 
The inertia of the ball has a very realistic feel to it, making the control intuitive and relatively easy. Not so easy, however, is the design of the (huge) levels; to finish Rock 'n Roll, you need skill as well as patience. You got the balls?</p>

<p>Psygnosis' <em>Ballistix</em> is an arcade game in which you have to manipulate a ball in order to score a goal with your opponent. To do this, you will control an arrow that defines a direction, and pressing the fire key will launch a ball from this arrow in the direction the arrow points to; by launching balls at correct angles, you will manipulate the main ball and control the way it moves. Ballistix also keeps certain physics laws (namely gravity and friction), and will present you with varying obstacles in either one or two player mode.</p>

<p><em>Dragon's Eye</em> is an installment in the tile-matching game series initiated by <a href="/search/?q=Activision">Activision</a>. Players try to remove mahjong tiles in pairs from a set pattern. Different versions of the game have up to eight different tile sets, twelve patterns based on the animals of the Chinese zodiac, and a layout editor for creating patterns.</p>
<p>In addition to the standard mode, the game also features "Dragon's Eye", a two-player Shanghai variant. Players take turns adding and removing tiles from a small field with one player attempting to remove all the tiles and the other trying to position tiles to make this impossible.</p>

<p>Three hundred thousand years ago, the ancients ruled the galaxy. It's now ~4000 AD and they're long gone. Unfortunately, one of their pyramids has started spewing slime that threatens to engulf the entire planet of Rhylanor. The player's party of adventurers must scour four sub-sectors of the Spinward Marches looking for clues to solve the crisis before Rhylanor is destroyed.</p>
<p><em>MegaTraveller 2: Quest for the Ancients</em> is a faithful adaptation of the <em>Traveller</em> board role-playing game with over 100 fully explorable planets (most with multiple cities and each with its own sub-quests) and a non-linear storyline.</p>

<p>Every hundred years, the dark vampire known as Dracula resurrects and terrorizes the land. A vampire hunter named Simon Belmont bravely ventures into the Count's mansion in order to defeat him. Along the way he'll have to defeat skeletons, bats, fishmen, medusa heads and other evil creatures.</p>
<p><em>Castlevania</em> is a side-scrolling platform action game. The player takes the role of Simon Belmont, who is able to jump and crack his whip directly in front of him. Power-ups can be obtained by defeating enemies or by whipping candles that appear in the castle. One such power-up increases the power and length of Simon's whip. Different weapons can be gathered which consume hearts when used, these hearts can also be collected from monsters and candles. Additionally, some walls will hide secrets such as the health-restorative turkey or the Double and Triple shot abilities for the weapons Simon has collected. At the end of each section of the castle is a boss, which must be defeated. Progression through the castle eventually leads to a confrontation with Count Dracula himself.</p>

<p>Unusually for Electronic Arts in the early 90s, this was a platform -shooter game with little or no adventuring or strategy elements. The game scrolls sideways, and has sections where precision jumps are required, either to clear rivers or collect bonuses. You carry a dagger to deal with the enemies, and must avoid contact with them. When killed, they leave coins to be collected - these are spent in the shop sections. Death loses you most of your coins, but they can usually be retrieved if they land on solid ground - making it better to be killed in combat than by drowning.</p>

<p>As a 19th-century merchant newcomer, the player needs to buy a ship, find a crew, load a few goods on the ship, and sail into the horizon, until the player reaches a port with a demand for said goods. The next step is to expand by buying more ships, creating regular trade routes, and becoming the head of a regular trading company.</p>
<p><em>1869</em> focuses on management and economy, rather than action. Actual sailing is done by plotting a route and then watching the days go by, interrupted only by the occasional random event. Basically, the main activities are planning routes, watching out for special assignments (that pay well if completed on time), and generally trying to steer clear of the shores of bankruptcy.</p>

<p>The game from Virgin based on the 1992 animated Disney film is a side-scrolling platformer.</p>
<p>The player controls Aladdin, who must make his way through several levels based on locations from the movie: from the streets and rooftops of Agrabah, the Cave of Wonders and the Sultan's dungeon to the final confrontation in Grand Vizier Jafar's palace. The Sultan's guards and also animals of the desert want to hinder Aladdin in his way. He can defend himself with his sword or by throwing apples. Next to apples, Aladdin can also collect gems which can be traded for lives and continues with a traveling trader. Finding Genie or Abu icons enables bonus rounds. The Genie bonus round is a game of luck played for apples, gems or extra lives. In Abu's bonus round, the player controls the little monkey who has to catch bonus items that fall from the sky, but without touching any of the unwanted objects like rocks and pots.</p>
<p>The game's humorous animations were created by Walt Disney Feature Animation.</p>

<p>A greatly updated version of the classic Ford Simulator with the newest Ford models.</p>
<p>Along with a standard driving mode, tech specifications for each model are available in a separate menu.
The objective of the driving mode is to arrive at the Lake Wakatonka. Each car performance is simulated accurately and the game aims at as much a real driving experience of the available cars as possible.</p>

<p><em>Formula 1 Grand Prix</em> (known as <em>World Circuit</em> in the US) is the first installment of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/6244/geoffrey-j-crammond/">Geoff Crammond's</a> Grand Prix series. The game includes all 16 international GP circuits of 1991. Players may drive them in quick race mode, single race or a full championship. The 18 teams and 35 drivers and their performance are based on the 1991 season, but the game doesn't include real names. It is possible to edit and save team and driver names by hand.</p>
<p>The extensive tuning feature influences the performance of the car. In-race setup allows players to adjust gear ratios, brake balance, wing downforce and tires during each visit to the pit box. Six optional driving aids help F1 rookies finish their race: players can toggle best line and suggested gear displays to learn track tactics, or have auto brakes, auto gears, self-righting spins and indestructibility to improve their driving. A replay system allows players to watch race scenes from three different views, including track-side camera footage.</p>
<p>The game features 3D graphics and various details and effects such as working rear mirrors, collisions with flying debris, crude damage models (wings are visibly bent after crashes), and wet weather that influences traction, including a fog effect that obscures vision when driving in another car's splash water.</p>
<p>While the Amiga version allows multiplayer races in hotseat mode, the PC version originally had solo races only. In 1993, the v1.05 update added modem support and a few other improvements.</p>

<p>You play as Heimdall, a demi-god based in Norse mythology. Heimdall's job is to protect the entrance to Asgard, the home of the gods, from all evil, including the terrible Ragnarok, when all the evil forces come together to try and destroy the gods and ultimately everything. Unfortunately, Ragnarok is on its way and if that wasn't bad enough, Loki, god of mischief, has hidden Thor's hammer, Odin's sword, and Frey's spear in three lands: the land of men (Midgard), the land of giants (Utgard) and the land of the gods (Asgard). You, as the newly mortalized Heimdall, must visit each of these lands to collect the god's weapons. Each land has around 15 islands and each island has countless rooms.</p>
<p>When you start your mission you are given three sub-games to complete. How well you complete these games determines Heimdall's stats (strength, agility, etc) as well as how many people he can choose from to make up his party. If you don't do well then you won't get the full 30 characters to choose from and some of the better ones will not be available to you.</p>
<p>The first sub-game is the Axe Throwing Contest. Here you must throw axes at a young barmaid tied to a stock by her pigtails. The idea is to hit the pigtails and not her! Unfortunately, because Heimdall is a bit drunk, your cursor wobbles all over the place! The second sub-game is Pig Catching (where you must chase and hopefully catch a pig in its pen) and the third is the Long Boat Fight (where you must try and get to the other side of the longboat without being thrown overboard).</p>
<p>Once you've done this it's time to wander around the isometric landscape solving puzzles and killing baddies (in a similar style to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1980/cadaver/">Cadaver</a>) until you eventually find one of the god's missing weapons.</p>

<p><em>The Four Crystals of Trazere</em> is an epic fantasy adventure through the land of Trazere. Armies of mutants are marauding through the land and it's up to the heroes to scour the cities, dungeons, and wilderness looking for clues to the source of the evil. </p>
<p>The party moves from location to location on a strategic map avoiding (or ambushing) enemy patrols and armies while trying to find the clues and items they need in isometric dungeons and cities. The game also features an intricate magic system that lets players design and customize spells.</p>

<p>Help your worm change into a butterfly by getting past obstacles. You will use a lot of tools and your intelligence.</p>
<p>Gameplay is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Lemmings">Lemmings</a>, but now with bugs.</p>

<p>Young Simba just can't wait to be king. His father is the current King of the Savannah and the young prince is able to frolic the lands at will; jumping on and around other subjects of this animal kingdom. When Simba's father, King Mufasa, is killed and his evil brother Scar takes over the kingdom, Simba is banished from the lands of his birthright and has to grow up fast, honing his skills, for the day of his return.</p>
<p><em>The Lion King</em>, based on the famous Disney movie, is a platform game where you control Simba - initially as a young cub, and later as an adult lion. The plot of the game follows the plot of the movie. Each of the levels represents a part of the movie. </p>
<p>As young Simba, you can fight various beasts, such as lizards, by jumping on them. You can also roar to scare some creatures into submission, though every time you roar, you have to wait for your "roar meter" to charge. </p>
<p>As an adult lion, you can still roar and jump, but now you fight enemies by slashing at them with your claws (if you're skillful enough, you can also grab them and toss them off the screen). </p>
<p>The game features no in-game save function, and it needs to be replayed from the beginning every time.</p>

<p>The game that started the best-selling series licensed by football's world governing body, this first installment in the long running series used a dimetric (colloquially known as "isometric") viewpoint, previously unusual in football games but quickly imitated by several titles. The televisual presentation, one of the unique points of the early <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/2070/ea-sports-games/">EA Sports</a> titles, with hosts introducing the matches, was another thing making the game stand out from a market dominated by <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/2850/sensible-soccer-games/">Sensible Soccer</a></em> and <em><a href="/search/?q=Kick+Off+game+series">Kick Off</a></em> games.</p>
<p>Based on international teams (with fictional player names), their abilities in each skill area rated out of 10 to give the player an overall impression of how good they are. The options available follow the standard set: fouls and offsides can be toggled on and off, the match length can be set, and if the timer operates continuously, or only while the ball is in play. Gameplay privileges quick runs, short passes and blistering shots outside the penalty box, and set pieces are controlled by moving a box into the target area for the ball, and then passed, lobbed or kicked directly. On the tactical side, formations can be selected, with 5 different strategies also available (although not all of these combinations make sense) as can the team Coverage - the areas which defenders, midfielders and strikers cover.</p>

<p><em>The Silver Seed</em> is an add-on disk for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/704/ultima-vii-part-two-serpent-isle/">Ultima VII: Part Two - Serpent Isle</a>. It adds a new scenario with five quests, in which the player has to go back in time to find the silver seed which would heal the lands. In order to fit in with the original story line, these quests need to be completed before finishing the original game.</p>
<p>This add-on also contains a few useful items such as a keyring for storing the many keys found in the game world, as well as a few interface improvements such as new hotkeys. These items and changes carry over to the main game.</p>

<p>The sun is about to go supernova and humanity must find a new home. All the population is packed into a huge fleet of ships and they set off for a suitable planet. Unfortunately the route goes straight through the territory of a hostile alien race, the Rexxons. </p>
<p>The game is a space shooter but you also get surface missions on different planets. The main emphasis on the game is the graphics which were excellent when the game was released but this meant that the game was very short with just 9 levels. There are loads of cutscenes all with music from Holst's planet suite.</p>

<p>In <em>Brain Dead 13</em>, the player takes on the role of a young computer expert who one day is called to fix a computer at some scary castle and in no time flat, finds himself in trouble.</p>
<p>It is up to the player to use the complex moves of an interactive movie to escape from the castle. This animated adventure is basically based on the player's judgment on which direction you think the character might go, and if the player guesses wrong, death.</p>

<p>The Turkish Government has had enough of mercenaries using their country as a base for their operations and have raised taxes to force them out. Your squadron is once again in danger of bankruptcy and you must fly more missions to bring in the money to keep them afloat.</p>
<p>This was an add-on for Strike commander which added another 21 missions, some new planes and General MIDI support to the original game.</p>

<p>This is an add-on pack for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/611/wing-commander-privateer/">Privateer</a> which adds speech to all the in-flight taunts and communications.</p>

<p><em>Innocent Until Caught</em> is a graphic adventure game with an icon-based point-and-click interface.</p>
<p>Jack T. Ladd is a thief, his hunting-ground is the whole galaxy, and at the moment, he's in big trouble. He's got 28 days to pay his taxes - or else the interstellar tax agency will hunt him down. Termination is a viable punishment for tax offenders in these days, you know. Stranded blank on the barren, run-down planet Tayte, Jack decides that he has to make some cash. Quick.</p>
<p><em>Innocent Until Caught</em> is pretty standard in terms of design but introduces some innovations when it comes to the interface. It features a mini-window at the bottom left of the screen which is alternately a mini-map of the area (showing all exits) and a looking glass for detecting small items. The inventory is a box-window in which objects can be placed wherever player wants (even on top of others). Also, the plot is illustrated by a few rendered sequences, some of the first used in adventure games.</p>

<p>Amateur made, shareware imitation of Monkey Island 2 / Simon the Sorceror. But don't let that put you off - this is a quality game in its own right. You are adventurer Paul Cole, the year is 1948, and you have been lowered down a pit to investigate a the discovery of a corpse. Then you find you cannot get out. The rest is up to you! </p>
<p>The main difference between this and another LucasArts' SCUMM engine game is the lack of obvious humor.  It seems to take itself very seriously.</p>

<p>The Game of Life is a real-time puzzle game.</p>
<p>Calling itself modestly "the ultimate cell simulation", the Game of Life tries to recreate the processes inside a simple organic structure. This body consists of five different types of cells: The proto cells (the "flesh") will grow quickly and aimless, unless you border them with skin. To control proto growth, you can install control cells; they consume energy produced by support cells. Sense cells will provide you with information about the well-being of your organic entity. </p>
<p>The basic cells will grow all by themselves, but also rot if left unattended. Your task is control: Move or destroy unwanted cell blocks, build and link a power supply throughout the structure, prevent decay and (in later missions) virus attacks. There are 99 levels to fulfill. Early ones make you rebuild a given design; later on, you'll have to reach goals like a certain amount of energy stockpiled. The time for each mission is limited.</p>

<p>In <em>Goody</em> you are a thief with a mission to break into a Spanish bank. In order to accomplish that you need the appropriate tools, such as a torch and pincers. On the way toward the bank you must avoid policemen, gorillas, kung-fu experts, women sweeping the street, paper airplanes, and other hazards. The game is a platformer with light puzzle-solving which requires usage of the correct object in the correct place, similar to <a href="/search/?q=Jet+Set+Willy">Jet Set Willy</a>.</p>

<p>Guilty is a graphic adventure game with an icon-based point-and-click interface.
It is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2086/innocent-until-caught/">Innocent Until Caught</a>.</p>
<p>Jack T. Ladd, notorious thief and would-be nightmare of the galaxy, has suddenly got female company. Rather involuntary, that is. Ysanne Andropath is not only a stunning red-head, but also a cop. So she throws Jack into a cell on her spaceship and heads off for stellar jail, when disaster strikes. The problem isn't that first thing Jack does, is escaping his cell. The problem isn't even that second thing Jack does, is dumping the ships hyperdrive out into space. But now, Ysanne is forced to work together with Mr. Trouble. THAT's what she calls disaster.</p>
<p>Using the familiar, slightly overhauled interface, you set off for another adventure to save the galaxy. You can play the game alternatively as the incorrigible macho Jack or the tough feminist Ysanne. In either role you'll be visiting the same places, but solve entirely different puzzles. For example, on the same planet, Ysanne has to stop an advancing army, whilst Jack tries to steal back the spaceships lost navigational device. On rare occasions, the two even have to engage in teamwork.</p>
<p>Guilty, like its predecessor, uses rendered flight scenes for the spacecraft landing and taking off. The CD version of the game adds English full speech for the two protagonists and animated cutscenes.</p>

<p>A 12 level expansion package for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/936/redneck-rampage/">Redneck Rampage</a> that takes Bubba and Leonard to such exotic locales as a gator farm, a brothel, and an Alien Oddity Museum.</p>

<p><em>Pagan: Ultima VIII - Speech Pack</em> is an add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pagan:+Ultima+VIII">Pagan: Ultima VIII</a>, which adds voices to some of the key characters in the game such as the Guardian and the Titans.</p>

<p>In the year 2051, two mega corporations battle it out for supremacy over an overcrowded, overpolluted planet. CyberTech Industries, the dominant company on the planet, is being challenged by Axiom, who blames the former for their president's death. To gain revenge, they secretly inject CyberTech's president, Anton Korsby, with a virus that threatens to take over his body, and ultimately destroy himself and CyberTech. Your mission is to enter Korsby's body, destroy the virus, and defeat the organism that controls his brain.</p>
<p><em>Microcosm</em> is a 3D action shooter that takes place entirely within the human body. The concept was inspired by the 1966 movie <em>Fantastic Voyage</em>. The player pilots his way through various parts of the anatomy, blasting virii and enemy ships while collecting power-ups and a faster, stronger craft. The goal of the game is to eventually reach the brain to stop Grey M, the entity that controls Korsby's body.</p>
<p><em>Microcosm</em> makes heavy use of full-motion video and features high-resolution fractal graphics (to simulate the walls of veins and arteries), digital music, and sound effects.</p>

<p>An early submarine game with ten missions which can be played with both American and Soviet attack submarines. The game focuses on realism with several stations the player can use (sonar, weapons, navigation, helm, radio, and periscope) but most duties can be delegated to crew members. 
The graphics are mostly close-up views of the control panels but on some occasions, they feature digitized images of surface ships and crew.</p>

<p>This is a bundle containing <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/936/redneck-rampage/">Redneck Rampage</a></em>, the <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2092/redneck-rampage-suckin-grits-on-route-66/">Route 66</a></em> level pack and a $10 rebate certificate for <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2427/redneck-rampage-rides-again/">Redneck Rampage Rides Again</a></em>.</p>

<p>In the grand tradition of Microsoft's <a href="/search/?q=Flight+Simulator">Flight Simulator series</a>, <em>Space Simulator</em> takes you on a journey through the Milky Way--and even beyond it, if you're adventurous and have a <em>lot</em> of time to kill.</p>
<p>Developed by the same company that worked on the <em>Flight Simulator</em> games, <em>SS</em> is a painstakingly detailed spaceflight simulator that allows you to explore the galaxy in a variety of ships, from the spacewalking MMU to the massive Zander Freighter. The entire solar system is modeled, along with dozens of other hypothetical systems, and you can also explore comets, nebulae, and other celestial bodies. You can program the flight computer and autopilot to take you on preset journeys, or take the controls yourself. Nine special missions are included which demonstrate the depth and features of the simulator. There are also extensive customization options available to adjust the simulation's complexity.</p>
<p><em>Space Simulator</em> features SVGA graphics with Gouraud-shaded 3D models and resolutions up to 800x600 with 8-bit color.</p>

<p>Version 4 of Flight Simulator was released just 15 months after <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/332/microsoft-flight-simulator-v30/">version 3</a>. The changes include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Makeshift airplane designer, which allowed for wing adjustments and weight, speed, and color changes.</li>
<li>New aircraft: Sailplane</li>
<li>Random weather patterns</li>
<li>Dynamic scenery (e.g. air traffic)</li>
</ul>
<p>Like the previous release, version 4 included scenery for five cities (New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago). It featured CGA through VGA (in EGA resolution) support, and multi-user play. Version 4 also supported newer add-ons such as Microsoft's Aircraft &amp; Scenery Designer, and Sublogic's USA scenery series.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/703/pinball-dreams/">Pinball Dreams</a> with 4 entirely new tables:</p>
<ul>
<li>Neptune: with an undersea theme.</li>
<li>Safari: with a photographic safari theme.</li>
<li>Revenge of the Robot Warriors: with a sci-fi/horror theme.</li>
<li>Stall Turn: with an aviation theme.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Supaplex</em> is a puzzle game reminiscent of <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a>. The player controls the red <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/132/pac-man-games-licensed/">Pac Man</a> looking character called Murphy. The objective is to reach the exit, which is only opened when a certain number of <em>Infotrons</em> are collected (usually all in the level). The setting is inside of a computer, therefore some computer terminology describes elements found in the levels. This includes destructible RAM chips, indestructible hardware, utility disks (which are explosives), terminals, and ports (one or two way gates). The most common enemy is a zonk, a rock which falls and rolls downwards, and explodes if it comes in contact with some, but not all other game elements. One of the most common enemies are a scissor looking enemy called <em>snik snak</em> which always moves in a predictable pattern.</p>
<p>Some levels feature gravity, where Murphy will fall down if he stands still, and has nothing beneath him. Other elements have fixed rules, such as <em>Infotrons</em> and <em>Zonks</em> always falls down, while RAM and hardware always stays put. There are 111 levels in total, and up to three of these may temporarily be skipped to advance. The game allows several profiles so that players may use the same computer with their own progression.</p>

<p>In the sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Test+Drive">Test Drive</a>, you can play against the time or the computer. Choose between a Ferrari F-40 and a Porsche 959, and take on your opponent, who is in the other car. There is also traffic to avoid.</p>
<p>Each stage has a different setting, including forests and mountains, with a wide range of hazards to dodge. The game is designed to allow for scenario disks. To finish a stage, you must stop at the gas station by yourself, which allows you to refuel.</p>

<p>This two player cue-sports simulator features five different game modes - you can play standard pool, 8 or 9 ball variations, the fast-paced Bumper Pool, or the English game of Snooker, each with their rules recreated as accurately as possible. There is also an editor for the Bumper Pool game built in. In practice modes shots can be retaken. This is helpful for a beginner, as each shot involves selecting the target ball, its desired location, shot pace, and spin. A favourite shot or in-progress game can be saved, though not in the C64 cassette version.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2110/the-games-winter-challenge/">Winter Challenge</a>, this Summer edition includes 8 events from athletics to cycling. The events are:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kayak:</strong> The player goes on a downhill stream, and must navigate through gates without missing or touching them (unlike the real event, there are no reverse gates), as well as avoiding to hit the margins of the stream. Pushing forward paddles, pressing a direction along a button allows a sharper turn. The winner is the one with the fastest time after penalty time is added</li>
<li><strong>Archery:</strong> Each competitor has four targets, each with three arrows. By moving the directional buttons the player moves the erratic crosshair, while pressing a button fires the arrow.</li>
<li><strong>400m Hurdles:</strong> The player does a full lap on the track by pressing the first button to set the pace and the second to jump. Mistiming the jump either makes the athlete knock the hurdle and lose a few tenths of second, or goes completely off-balance and falls, ending the event</li>
<li><strong>High Jump and Pole Vault:</strong> Two similar events where the player starts by setting the bar height, and then mashing the power button to build enough speed. Then, just before the jump point the action button must be pressed and held until the athlete is in position to pass over the bar. The contest ends once there are three misses at an height, or the maximum height is cleared.</li>
<li><strong>Equestrian:</strong> The most technical event, the player must steer the horse to the best trajectory while jumping over hurdles and walls. While a knockdown means a time penalty in the end, if the horse refuses to do a jump (if the button is pressed too soon or too late) the competition ends immediately.</li>
<li><strong>Javelin:</strong> A simple event where each player has three attempts to launch the javelin as far as possible. To do so, first some speed must be built, and a few steps before the mark start pressing the action button to start the launch sequence, which initiates the angle measure. Once the player releases the button (ideally at an angle between 40 and 45 degrees next to the mark), the javelin is released as well</li>
<li><strong>Cycling:</strong> In this sprint event the player must complete a number of laps in the velodrome, while keeping as fast and as close as possible to the inner edge without falling.</li>
</ul>
<p>Like with Winter Challenge, graphically, the game features the same polygonal environments with bitmap athletes and game modes include the ability to train or compete in a tournament (up to ten human players, with three computer levels and 16 nations to choose from). It's also possible to replay and even store your best (or worst) moments.</p>

<p>An Olympiad game simulating common winter game competitions - the Downhill, Giant Slalom, Luge, 2-men Bobsled, Ski Jump, Cross Country, Biathlon and Speed Skating.</p>
<p>The game features a basic 3D engine which allows to simulate slopes with ease, which enhances the gameplay of some events such as the Downhill. Gameplay, as expected from a Winter sports game, relies on finding the faster trajectories in most events (Downhill, Giant Slalom, Luge and Bobsled), pacing the run correctly (Cross Country and Biathlon), skill and timing (Ski Jump), with button mashing reserved for just one (speed skating). The player (up to ten) can select his (or her) competitor face and nationality from one of 16 possible choices, and by selecting different difficulty settings, different computer controlled athletes take part in the competition along the player.</p>

<p>Waylon Smithers has just stolen a diamond from Springfield Jewelers for Mr. Burns. While trying to make a getaway, he crashes into Homer, which knocks the diamond out of his hand. Maggie catches it in her mouth, prompting Smithers to grab her and run off. The Simpsons decide to go after him, but Mr. Burns has tons of henchmen, who want to prevent the family getting their daughter back.</p>
<p><em>The Simpsons</em> is basically a side-scrolling beat-em-up featuring the characters from <em>The Simpsons</em> TV show. The player can choose to play as each of the four Simpson characters. Homer, who punches and kicks; Marge, who swings her vacuum cleaner; Bart, who wields his skateboard; and Lisa, who uses a jump rope as a whip. Other weapons such as hammers and bowling balls are also available to use. The game's levels are Downtown Springfield, Krustyland, Springfield Discount Cemetery, Moe's Tavern, Springfield Gorge, Dreamland, the Channel 6 studio, and the Power Plant. Each level ends with a boss whose speed and strength will increase after taking a certain amount of damage. End level bosses are the wrestler Professor Werner von Brawn, a hot air balloon shaped like Krusty the Clown, a pair of bouncers, a drunk at Moe's Tavern, a henchman in a bear suit, an imaginary, gigantic bowling ball, and a martial arts sensei dressed like a kabuki actor. There's also the showdown finale against Smithers and Mr. Burns in a robotic outfit.</p>
<p>Between levels, the player can compete against the other characters in two mini-games to be first to complete a task (inflating a ballon and waking up their character).</p>

<p>Each level of this abstract puzzler challenges the player to set up a network of pipes to allow an unspecified substance known as 'flooz' to flow through as many of those as possible. The pieces are offered in random order, and there are seven different types - straight lines going horizontally or vertically, corners rotating in each of the four directions, and cross-over pieces which carry the flooz straight across horizontally and vertically. Each of these can be entered from either side. When the flooz hits a gap or a piece that the previous piece can't flow into, the pipe is finished.</p>
<p>Before the flooz starts flowing from its randomly-selected starting position, the player has several seconds to start placing pieces. They can be put down anywhere. However, a situation that can often occur is there will be a long and complex piping arrangement set up, yet a gap somewhere remains to be filled. Players are able to replace a piece with another in the same square (to make it easier to flow the flooz that way), but for a slight scoring penalty.</p>
<p>Bonuses are awarded for looping the flooz through both sides of at least 5 cross-over pieces or passing the flooz through every square on the screen. Later levels have some squares on the grid blocked off, a few gaps in the side-wall (allowing flooz to thread to the other side of the screen). After every four levels, there is a bonus game for points, in which the player can only place the pieces in the lowest open space in each column, similarly to the board game of "Connect 4".</p>

<p><em>X-Men: The Ravages of Apocalypse</em> is a conversion of <a href="/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a>. The evil mutant Apocalypse has created an army of evil X-men clones. The only thing standing in his way is you, a cyborg created by Magneto with the ability to morph your arms into a variety of devastating weapons.</p>
<p>In the single-player game, you battle clones of twelve X-Men across two episodes building up to a final confrontation with Apocalypse. The X-Men are realistically modeled complete with their mutant powers (the Wolverine clone, for example, will not stay down, imitating the original). In multiplayer, you can take on the role of any of the X-Men for mutant deathmatch action in five original maps including the X-Men mansion.</p>

<p>Evidence of a new and unknown civilization has been found. The ultimate goal for your starship and crew is to avoid Klingon suspicion and make First Contact. In the process of contacting this new civilization, you must carry diplomats to the planet of Gothica to ensure the Federation makes a good impression. GOOD LUCK!</p>

<p><em>Welltris</em>, which is the first <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> sequel, is originally designed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/533681/alexey-l-pajitnov/">Alexey Pajitnov</a> (the 
creator of <em>Tetris</em>) with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/23746/andrei-sgenov/">Andrei Sgenov</a>. </p>
<p>It has the same gameplay concept as <em>Tetris</em>; simply all the player has to do is to rotate and 
maneuver the falling pieces into a proper position in order to form complete layers 
in the rectangular playground. But <em>Welltris</em> changes this rectangular arena into a four
sided well with grid-like walls and bottom where the falling pieces can be moved from 
wall to wall within the well. Form the pieces into solid rows either horizontally or vertically
on the bottom of the well. </p>
<p>Billed itself as <em>Tetris</em> in three dimensions.</p>

<p>The earth is overpopulated and mankind must find a second home. The spaceship Amazon is sent to investigate Saturn and Jupiter for possible colonization. Near the end of its mission, all contact is lost with the ship except for a distress beacon. The player is part of the crew sent to the Amazon's last known location to find out what happened.</p>
<p><em>Creature Shock</em> is a first-person shooter with Full Motion Video and arcade-like elements. Aliens of all sizes and types will try to destroy the team, but each one has a weak point that can be exploited. The fighting takes place on the surface of asteroids and within mazes of passageways underground. </p>
<p>There are also two 3D sections where the player gets to pilot the ship.</p>

<p>This is a flight simulator which uses a slightly modified version of the RealSpace engine from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1365/strike-commander/">Strike Commander</a>. You play a World War 2 pilot and get to fly in various historic missions such as dogfights, bombing runs and missile attacks, many of which are based on real battles. The US and Japanese planes of the time, and their weapons, are brought to life. </p>
<p>One thing that makes <em>Pacific Strike</em> unique is that rather than a simple retelling of historical battles, the course of World War II is affected by the player. Failing to destroy particular targets will ensure that they remain problems in future missions, and doing extremely well will allow the allies to be more successful. Thus regardless of the actual course of the war, events unfold. For this reason it's possible to end the war prematurely before Hiroshima was bombed or end up in a situation where American forces surrender to the Japanese.</p>

<p>Six board games are transformed to the computer screen in the third <a href="/search/?q=Hoyle">Hoyle's</a> release. Snakes &amp; Ladders, Backgammon, Yacht / Yahtzee, Checkers, Dominoes and Pachisi / Parcheesi all feature, with animated graphics and sound effects. As there is no time-sensitive action, and the game rules are familiar, these packs were designed to appeal to a wider range of people than most computer games.</p>
<p>At least one human player is required - other players can be human or computer. The 18 computer opponents from the first Hoyle's game return, many of them modeled on other Sierra characters such as Larry Laffer, and again some play 'good' and some play 'evil'.</p>

<p>This add-on pack for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2123/pacific-strike/">Pacific Strike</a> adds speech to the inflight communications.</p>

<p>A nuclear war has turned the world into a wasteland. The pure-blooded humans have retreated in large cities while mutants live in small villages on the plains where they make a living by hunting the many monsters. Now one of the human leaders, Lord Dominix, wants to start a war to wipe out all the "bad-blooded" mutants. Your village chief has assigned you with the task of preventing this war.</p>
<p><em>Bad Blood</em> is a top-down action game with light role-playing elements. You can not create your own character but have to pick one of the three predefined ones: Varrigg (a strong green mutant who fights with his bare hands), Dekker (a human male armed with a knife) or Jakka (she looks human but can shoot laser beams from her eyes like Cyclops of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/306/x-men-licensees/">X-Men</a> fame). The choice you make has only a limited impact on gameplay and storyline.</p>
<p>Gameplay consists of exploring the world map, visiting several cities and villages, talking with NPCs, picking up items and new weapons (like shotguns, grenades, Uzis etc.) and lots of real-time combat. <em>Bad Blood</em> lacks character stats and character development. The game has a day-night cycle which influences the amount of monsters on the plains and whether or not you can talk with some NPCs.</p>

<p>In the 12th century, the Emperor Hui Zhong is faced with an internal rebellion led by Imperial Minister Gao Qiu.  The Song Dynasty comes to an end, and Gao Qiu became the new ruler.  You take the role of an exiled ruler, and you must build your stats up to be able to challenge- and destroy- Gao Qiu and restore Hui Zhong to the throne.</p>
<p>The game is a military strategy game, like most of Koei's games, but instead of conquering a country, the goal is to depose the despotic ruler of China.  You start out lowly, and have to work your way up by conquering smaller prefectures, forming alliances, and fighting small battles.  You have to earn the right to attack Gao Qiu's home prefecture, though- he is off limits until you are powerful.</p>

<p>Using the 3D terrain modeling system designed for Bruce Artwick's famous <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/60/microsoft-flight-simulator-series/">Flight Simulator series</a>, subLogic created a whole new flight simulator - <em>UFO</em>.</p>
<p>You control a UFO (with controls unlike those in any earthly vehicle), careening and skidding around the earth under the power of standard thrusters or a gluon disruptor propulsion system, avoiding detection by humans (you can use your translucer to become radar-invisible), in a search for fuel for your species' galactic ships. You can return to your mother ship and trade your scavenged fuel for additional supplies. (Your mother-ship docking tractor beam can also be used to capture earthly aircraft... hmmm...)</p>
<p>The controls are akin to (but different from) a helicopter's. You can control the amount of anti-gravity; you can pitch, roll, and yaw; you can thrust back and forth, up and down, and side to side. (Thrusting up and down is preferable to the less precise use of antigravity - important while docking.)</p>
<p>For advanced flying, it is possible to use anti-laminar transducers to completely eliminate drag (important to keep your hull from overheating), and use the aforementioned gluon devices to "fly" forwards (But watch out for spinout!)</p>
<p>There are other options available, including landing pods, illuminator beams, probes, gravitons, shields, teleportation. <em>UFO</em> is also compatible with the subLogic Scenery Disks.</p>

<p><em>Anvil of Dawn</em> is a role-playing game featuring pseudo-3D dungeons similar to those of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/835/eye-of-the-beholder/">Eye of the Beholder</a>, but with solo gameplay and action-oriented combat reminiscent of <a href="/search/?q=Ultima+Underworld">Ultima Underworld</a> games. The player controls a single hero (can be chosen between two female, two male and one lizard character) on a quest to destroy an evil warlord. The dungeons lead the protagonist through varied places like castles or shipwrecks.</p>
<p>The game requires the hero to overcome two basic obstacles: combat and the exploration of maze-like dungeons with occasional puzzles (mostly based on switches and inventory items). During battles, the player simply needs to select a weapon or spell and click on the enemy to use it. This game doesn't use an experience point system but the "learning by doing" approach: using a skill automatically improves the protagonist's competence with it. Additional character development occurs by learning new spells (divided into earth, fire, water, wind, lightning, flesh and void disciplines), acquiring new equipment and drinking potions to permanently increase hit and magic points.</p>

<p>Build and control an Empire! In Fantasy Empires you play the ruler of a fledging kingdom; your objective: Take over adjacent kingdoms one by one using magic, war, or strategic planning. Features real-time combat in an overhead view, as well as a computer controlled The Dungeon Master, who provides insight as well as comic relief. Form alliances, recruit armies, train heroes, send them on quests, cast spells, manage resourses. All set in the enchanted world of D&amp;D. </p>
<p>Up to five players can take turns waging war against one another.</p>

<p>The enhanced CD-ROM version of <a href="/search/?q=Star+Wars:+X-Wing">Star Wars: X-Wing</a> features 6 new missions, improved 3D graphics, voice, and upgraded sound. In addition, the two Tour of Duty extensions are included: <a href="/search/?q=Imperial+Pursuit">Imperial Pursuit</a> and <a href="/search/?q=B-Wing">B-Wing</a>.</p>

<p>Long Island is home to Mike Callahan's bar, which is, like many other establishments of its kind, a place for people to share their personal problems with the friendly all-knowing bartender and drown their sorrows in alcohol. One small difference between this particular bar and most others is the clientele: mythological beings, time travellers, and aliens all feel at home at Callahan's. So does Jake Stonebender, a traveling guitarist with a tragic past, inclined to help those in need. Chatting with the colorful patrons of the bar, Jake finds out that a few of them do need his assistance, and will proceed to help a vampire find his long-lost love, solve the moral dilemma of an alien whose pacifist thinking is not approved by the majority of his race, save the rainforest from destruction, and perform other good deeds that will perhaps prove to the Powers-That-Be that humanity can be allowed to exist.</p>
<p><em>Callahan's Crosstime Saloon</em> is a puzzle-solving adventure game based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/130289/spider-robinson/">Spider Robinson</a>'s series of stories about the unusual patrons of Callahan's bar. The characters in the game are taken from the first book of the series, though their stories are original. The game's world is composed of still screens viewed from first-person perspective. The interaction is point-and-click, with context menus appearing when the player attempts to interact with an object on screen. The puzzles are for the most part inventory-based, though a few revolve around word plays in English language.</p>

<p>A sci-fi adventure in which the player attempts to save Earth from a collision with a mechanically controlled asteroid.  Space travel and exploration of the deserted mining colony.</p>

<p>The year is 1916, the dawn of the first World War. New pilots are being trained in use of the airplane, a still relatively new flying invention that may yet have some military value. Certainly the German army is using them, and therefore it's up to the British to respond. Stationed in a small airfield in the town of Thetford, England, a small group of pilots have been transfered from the allied countries to form a squadron and fight against German forces</p>
<p><em>Wings of Glory</em> is one of the relatively few World War 1 flight simulators. It is played in 1st person, with 3rd person camera options and uses Origin's RealSpace Engine. In the main campaign, players start as a fresh rookie pilot, newly transfered to England. Players can have conversations with other pilots,check the kill board for the entire squadron or commence the next mission. Missions begin with a briefing explaining the objectives and then players are put in the front seat of their aircraft. They must take off, reach the appropriate waypoints, perform the objective and return home to land. All planes have a machine gun, of varying capacities , which fires in front of the plane. Some planes are also able to carry bombs. There is no radar or other detection method on the planes, so players must be alert to oncoming enemies.</p>
<p>In addition to the usual campaign mode it also featured a "Gauntlet mode" where the player faces a never-ending wave of successive waves of enemy aircraft. The goal of Gauntlet mode is simply to last as long as possible. The game also features a mission designer to create custom scenarios.</p>

<p>Long ago, the Magister created the world and all its creatures. One creature rebelled against his control, man. The Magister watched with bemusement as man increased with number before deciding to sleep beneath a hill in England. A castle was built upon the hill, called Castle Eternity. Eventually, in medieval times, man awoke the Magister from his slumber, but his power had seeped into the land. So he bade his time until the day of a great feast, held by your father, the king. There the Magister turned the castle's inhabitants into all manners of ghoul and beast, but thankfully you and your sibling were outside the castle at the time.</p>
<p><em>Castle Master</em> is the fourth and final individual game to use the Freescape first-person solid 3D game system (after <a href="/search/?q=Driller">Driller</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21802/dark-side/">Dark Side</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Total+Eclipse">Total Eclipse</a>). As a Prince or Princess armed with a slingshot, you have to explore a medieval castle to free your twin sibling from the evil Magister.</p>
<p>Gameplay combines action and puzzle-solving, across four primary towers with three levels each. Doors must be opened using one of the ten included keys. These are unmarked, as are the various potions - making it a challenge to know which keys open which doors, and which potions are beneficial. </p>
<p>Contact with ghouls drains your energy, as does falling too far (there are narrow pathways to negotiate), while eating cheese can replenish this. Movement and aiming are controlled separately.</p>

<p>In this third-person point-and-click adventure game you play the sports journalist Richard Kendall. In the summer of 1997, an expedition of four explorers have set out into the abysses of the Atlantic Ocean to find any traces of the mythical sunken city of Atlantis. They are the archeologist Professor Caldwell, the scientist Helen, the sponsor of the journey Mr. Blower and his nephew Simon.</p>
<p>When they suddenly stop communicating Richard is the one whose task it is to find them. He would much rather stay in London and cover football matches but his editor insists and he complies. His search takes him to several locations around the world including the Caribbean, Stonehenge, Easter Island and Atlantis itself. The puzzles are mostly inventory based.</p>

<p>An updated version of the older Math Blaster! educational game.  Unlike the previous version, this one's not in BASIC!</p>
<p>A new GUI greets users, called the "Davidson Student Desktop Interface"- this allows people to switch from one portion of the game to the next  without all that nasty <em>typing</em>.</p>
<p>The math is broken down into five subjects- addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions/decimals/percents.  The game itself is broken into 5 activities-</p>
<p>Countdown- a flash-card style "game" with no scoring or timing.  A problem, with answer, is shown on screen- upon command, the same problem appears sans answer, and must be answered correctly.</p>
<p>Ignition- problems appear, and upon a correct answer, motivational messages and animations pop up.  The player has two chances to answer correctly, and receives a scoreboard at the end showing number of problems, number solved, etc.  (This scoreboard appears in the next two listed activities.)</p>
<p>Lift-off- problems appear, with answer, but missing an internal component (like 2 * _ = 12).  Three chances per problem are given to answer correctly.  Once again, there are encouraging messages and animations- and a certificate of achievement may be printed out.</p>
<p>Orbit- three problems appear on-screen with portions of each in boxes; these boxes may contain errors and need to be changed by the player.  Each correct answer earns a star, and the player can attempt to answer twice.  This one also can print a certificate of achievement.</p>
<p>Blasternaut- the action-oriented math activity- you control a Blasternaut that must get into a rocket aimed at the correct answer to a shown problem.  Bonus points are awarded if you can rescue floating Blasternauts- apparently slamming into them with the nosecone of a huge rocket constitutes help.</p>
<p>The math problems contained within aren't randomly generated, but are pre-written lessons (which are handily printed in the instruction manuals.)  Math Blaster Plus! can be used to create new lessons, can be used in a classroom setting to track individual students' performance, and can print stored lessons as paper-based quizzes/tests for more traditional (and more boring) use.</p>

<p>The basic goal of "Coaster" is quite simply to build a roller coaster. After designing your coaster you have it ridden by a panel of experts which assign it a score. You can also ride it yourself.</p>

<p>This is a driving simulation in which the player gets to drive all the stages in the Lombard RAC Rally. The game includes day and night stages, along with different weather conditions such as fog and snow. There is also a workshop option where the car can be repaired or tweaked to get a bit of extra speed. The game's main innovation is that the screen display is from behind the front seats - the driver can be seen adjusting the steering wheel and gearstick, and the co-driver holds a map which changes colour as the track is covered.</p>

<p>Let the warty, mangy, cat-eating ALF teach your children the fundamentals of logic!</p>
<p>The game is set into three lessons; the first has the child leading ALF to the Tanner household's cat Lucky, via a route of minor logic problems (such as 3 roads with stoplights, one is green... which road leads to the feline snack?)</p>
<h1>2 brings the concept of "and/or" to children, using colorful shapes.  Point out the correct answer using ALF.</h1>
<h1>3 involves shape/color sorting according to the criteria ALF gives you.</h1>

<p>ALF, a furry alien who for fear of discovery can't really leave the house, is Vision Software's choice to teach children about the wide range of geographical features found in the United States.</p>
<p>Lesson one: A multiple choice quiz to test knowledge of geographical terminology.  Hosted by ALF, who fires a cannon (!) containing your answer choice at a bucket.</p>
<p>Lesson two: ALF quizzes you on the names and/or capitals of states highlighted on a map of the 48 contiguous states (the packaging claims this lesson covers all 50.)</p>
<p>Lesson three: ALF now quizzes you on landmarks' locations.</p>
<p>Lesson four: a simple timeline of the admission of states into the union.</p>
<p>Lesson five: Allows children to make a personalized print-out of events with historical and personal relevance.</p>

<p><em>Hacker</em> is an adventure/trading game based on what was then a unique idea. You're starting into the adventure as a real hacker would do, lacking information of what is to come, only driven by your ambition. Consequently, the game opens with a plain text screen, prompting you for the login password. To break into the system is the first puzzle you've got to solve.</p>
<p>Once in, you'll soon find out that you've accidentally stumbled upon a conspiracy of global impact. From then on, you'll maneuver a robotic drone around the globe through a tunnel system deep in the earth. In major cities, you may surface and talk to contact persons, who'll trade items for cash. When delivered to the correct city, you can exchange these items for a piece of evidence. If all evidence is collected, you're to inform the FBI. As if figuring out the correct routes and trades wasn't hard enough, frequent system malfunctions and security checks test your skill as well...</p>

<p>A number of copies of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2155/castle-master/">Castle Master</a> came with an additional exclusive game called The Crypt. It uses the same Freescape game engine and continues the original plot. In this chapter, you'll have to free your beloved by entering and exploring a 3D crypt, activating lifts and exploring the various floors.</p>

<p>Igor, a college student, wants to date the most beautiful girl of his school. Instead he discovers a criminal plot he has to investigate.</p>
<p>The game offers classic 2D point-and-click adventure gameplay. There are actions buttons near the bottom of the screen, as well as an inventory.</p>

<p>Unlike the first two games in the series, which fell into the roleplaying and resource-management category, Universe 3 poses true logic-based puzzles for you to solve. Your characters move about in much the same way as their counterparts in <a href="/search/?q=Breach">Breach</a>, Omnitrend's tactical combat RPG.</p>
<p>You set out to escort a diplomat on a trip to the hyperspace booster (a key element of <a href="/search/?q=Universe+2">Universe 2</a>) to investigate the disappearance of shipments from Earth to this remote corner of the star map. The story takes a quick twist when you and your crew are captured, forcing you to rack up some criminal charges during your escape. You'll spend the rest of your time looking for evidence about the missing shipments, which will clear you of the charges as well as wrap up the mystery.</p>

<p>Drive some of your favourite sports cars through wild and fast tracks, including the Dodge Viper, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette, Mazda RX7, Toyota Supra Turbo, and Acura NSX.
Some of the tracks are open road, meaning you simply fly down a huge highway, with cops following in hot pursuit. One of the options in the game allows you to pick which time of the day to race in.</p>

<p>As its name implies, <em>M.A.X.: Mechanized Assault and Exploration</em> is a conquer 'n' plunder-type strategy game in the same vein as the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/194/warcraft-universe/">Warcraft</a> or <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer+series">Command &amp; Conquer series</a>, albeit with a few interesting twists. The goal of <em>M.A.X.</em> is to colonize newly-discovered planets, controlling the resources found there, and defend your colony against other rival factions looking to literally blow you off the planet.</p>
<p><em>M.A.X.</em> is most notable for its ability to be played as a real-time or more traditional turn-based strategy game, which can significantly impact how the game is played. The length of turns is adjustable, as is game speed, so the game can be as challenging or brain-dead as the player wants. But at its core, <em>M.A.X.</em> is about resource-gathering, building, and tactical combat. The game offers more than 50 land, sea, and air units, most of which can be upgraded to improve their armor, speed, and range. You can play as one of eight different Factions (all of which are explained in a rather lengthy fictional introduction in the manual), either in a complete campaign or in a limitless number of custom missions. There's also a tutorial campaign to get new players up to speed on the myriad unit and building options.</p>

<p>This is an add-on episode for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Duke+Nukem+3D">Duke Nukem 3D</a>.</p>
<p>Aliens have captured the President! Duke gets word that alien scum have landed in Washington D.C., laid it to waste, and imprisoned the leader of the free world. Always up for a heroic deed, Duke heads to D.C. to rid the city of enemy dirtbags and return the president to power!</p>
<p>Includes 9 new levels plus one secret level. Works with Duke 3D v1.3d or newer, and Duke Atomic.</p>

<p><em>Duke Caribbean: Life's A Beach</em> is an add-on episode for <a href="/search/?q=Duke+Nukem+3D">Duke Nukem 3D</a> version 1.3d and up.</p>
<p>Ahh... the Caribbean, the ultimate vacation destination. After a few months of alien annihilation, Duke's ready for a little R&amp;R. That is, until the alien scum drop in for a little vacation of their own.</p>
<p>The add-on includes 7 new levels plus one secret level as well as 4 extra DukeMatch levels; all with new, tropical background music. The weapons and power-ups are the same, but they have new, beach-themed appearances (squirt guns, coconut launchers, and more!). The aliens, too, are now dressed in beach apparel.</p>

<p>In <em>Geekwad: Games of the Galaxy</em> the player takes control of the Geekwad Gamer, the best gamer in the universe. To win the game one has to free a king by getting the high score at five video games and trivia. All the games are parodies of classic arcade games like Spaced Solicitors (<a href="/search/?q=Space+Invaders">Space Invaders</a>), Beefender (<a href="/search/?q=Defender">Defender</a>), Phlegming (the name is like Lemmings but gameplay is closer to <a href="/search/?q=Joust">Joust</a>), Grogger (<a href="/search/?q=Frogger">Frogger</a>), and more.</p>

<p><i>Alter Ego</i> is a game which tries to simulate life itself. The player creates a character with different personality statistics, either by assigning them randomly or by answering a few introductory questions. They then guide this character through seven life phases, from infancy to old age.</p>
<p>The gameplay consists of a series of situations where a decision has to be made. This is done by choosing one of multiple answer possibilities, sometimes accompanied with a mood. Then the player gets presented with the outcome and goes on to the next situation. Every decision has long-time consequences and influences the personality, health and which situations await further down the road. Some decisions may even result in an early death or instant game over.</p>
<p>Every life phase is represented by a life tree where the situations are lined up; the motive of the situation card shows the general theme of the situation. After reaching a certain age, additional life options can be undergone at any time. Here the player can change his lifestyle and manage his love and professional life.</p>
<p>The game exists in two variations which depict a male or female life.</p>

<p>Money Bags is a game of international finance.  You're given $1 million and a year of game time to try to make it grow.  You can invest in foreign currencies, international stocks, international goverment bonds, gold, lumber, and commercial property.  You'll have to keep an eye on current events and how they'll change the markets, exchange rates, stock values, real asset values, shipping costs, and more.  In other words, it's an almost complete international finance simulator.</p>
<p>The game has four skill levels.  The higher the level, the more unpredictable and faster things happen.  On any level but the lowest, you compete against the legendary "Gnome of Zurich," who's an international finance expert.  The game does have a pause function, and you can also continue playing after your year is up.  It also tracks the ten highest scores for each skill level.</p>

<p>The official level pack from Monolith for the horror shooter <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/980/blood/">Blood</a>. <em>Blood: Plasma Pak</em> adds 13 levels, seven new monsters, and some additional firing modes for the existing weapons.</p>

<p><em>B.A.T.</em> is a cyberpunk romp through the underworld of crime and corruption. As agent for B.A.T. (Bureau of Astral Troubleshooters), an ultra-secret organization serving the Confederation of the Galaxies in the 22nd century, you will be assigned various missions covering a wide range of spy activities and planets. </p>
<p><em>B.A.T.</em> is a mixture of first-person adventure game and role-playing. Most of the game is spent exploring the futuristic locations, talking to characters and gathering items needed to advance the narrative. Combat occurs randomly and utilizes a real-time system: the player must prepare for the battle within a limited amount of time, after which the combatants exchange blows. The protagonist is able to side-step and dodge the attacks. Other features include the ability to program the B.O.B. (organic computer implanted on your arm), and RPG-style character development based on various stats.</p>

<p><em>Cryptic Passage for Blood</em> is a level package for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/980/blood/">Blood</a> containing 10 single-player and 4 bloodbath levels.</p>

<p>In the year 1989, a simple window cleaner is working outside of a skyscraper. Intending to play a prank on his angry boss, the unlikely hero discovers a secret passage leading to a time machine along with mysterious alien documents. Operating the device transports the protagonist to the year 1304, where he is given a seemingly ordinary task of rescuing a lady in danger. However, he soon finds out about a much more serious threat of a global alien invasion. The hero has to travel to the remote future of the 44th century and eventually to the even more remote past of the Cretaceous period to foil their plans.</p>
<p><em>Future Wars</em> is a graphic adventure game, and the first to use Delphine's proprietary <em>Cinematique</em> point-and-click interface. A right click brings up the verb menu. After choosing one of the six commands, the player points the mouse over the desired target and executes the action with a left click. Small objects are depicted by enlarged drawings once they have been discovered; however, many of them are well-hidden and often require precise positioning on the part of the player character to discover. The game has a linear story advancement, and it is possible to die or become irrevocably stuck by failing to locate a crucial item in one of the previous locations.</p>

<p><em>Win, Lose or Draw</em> was a popular TV show requiring artistic skills and an ability to think laterally. A player on your team draws something on the big game board, and you must work out what it represents. They will be common expressions depicted literally, such as 'bright idea' showing a light bulb over somebody's head, and 'cabin fever' as a rickety building next to a man with a thermometer in his mouth. </p>
<p>In this computerised implementation the drawing phase of the game is handled by the computer, so your task is simply to guess the meaning of the picture by thinking laterally. Your team has 60 seconds, and you can guess repeatedly, but the picture takes time to take shape. If you fail to guess correctly, the opposition has 15 seconds to guess it (with a single try) to steal the money.</p>

<p>A futuristic racing game with hover cars, in the same line as <a href="/search/?q=Wipeout">Wipeout</a>, using a modified version of the <a href="/search/?q=Magic+Carpet+2">Magic Carpet 2</a> engine.</p>
<p>Gameplay takes a straightforward approach, with the directional keys controlling the steering and throttle, and three keys to fire the minigun, missiles or charge the booster. While the minigun has unlimited ammo, both fuel, armour and missiles must be replenished by passing through some marked areas or picking up powerups in the track or by left destroyed opponents. While the vehicles float on the track they are still influenced by the ground material: they slow down on dirt and even more on water. 
Each track has a number of shortcuts or alternate routes that offer powerups, and some tracks feature gates and ramps that open or close randomly.</p>
<p>Includes 9 tracks and several game modes (for Saturn owners and PC players with the 1.2 patch installed) such as single race mode (with option to change the number of laps), a Championship mode, Split Screen, Clone Race (beating the ghost of the best race time), Death Match (Where instead of finishing first what matters is finish alive and with the most kills) and Hot Seat, where up to eight players can compete in the same race by taking turns, with the computer taking control of the players' vehicles waiting for their turn. There are six hover cars to choose from: the fast Flexiwing and Outrider, the balanced KD-1 Speeder and Vampyr and the slow but armed to the teeth Berserker and Jugga. In addition to the natural capacity of each, their Minigun, Missle and Booster capacities can be upgraded by picking up powerups during the race. There are Eight teams to choose from, which change the colour of the vehicle: Mad Medicine (white), Bullfrog (aqua green), Storm Riders (purple), Fire Phreaks (orange), DethFest (blue), Foo Fighters (yellow), Gorehounds (red) and Assassins Anonymous (black).</p>

<p>Based on the movie of the same name which was adapted from the best-seller by
Tom Clancy. As Jack Ryan (a CIA officer) you must find out if Red October's
mission is to DEFECT and if that is the situation try to prevent a possible deadly
war. Red October is Russia's top secret nuclear missile submarine which is heading
West on her maiden voyage...</p>
<p>The game is divided into 5 different action sequences in which you must perform
various abilities like jumping from a helicopter, navigating big and 
small submarines through deep and narrow channels while trying to avoid from
many obstacles.</p>

<p>Push Your Luck is a version of a classic dice game.  Each round, you roll two dice as "blockers."  Then roll five dice as long as you wish, getting the number of points each die shows.  The catch is if you roll the same number as one of the blockers (it's possible, but unlikely, for both blockers to be the same number), you don't get points for that die and can no longer roll it.  If you keep rolling until you roll all blockers, you get zero points for that round.  You may stop at any time.  There are a total of five rounds.  The player with the highest total for the game wins.</p>
<p>For example, assume 2 and 5 are your blockers.  On your first roll, you roll 3, 5, 4, 1, and 3.  You get 11 points (3 + 4 + 1 + 3) and the die you rolled a 5 on is removed from play.  Your next roll, you roll 2, 3, 5, and 5.  Your total is now 14 (11 + 3), but you've only got one die left to roll.  This is a good time to stop!  (Don't push your luck too much.)</p>
<p>The game was designed for PC/XT/AT computers with any kind of monitor.  The graphics are made up of "ANSI characters," which allow for a more colorful display than CGA would have.  Simple sound is provided by the PC speaker.</p>

<p>In this adaptation of Tom Clancy's popular novel, you play the part of Captain Marko Ramius attempting to defect to the US.  Once into the Atlantic, you must rendezvous with the US Navy and fake the destruction of the Red October.  Your crew is not aware of the defection -- but the Soviet Navy is, and will try to stop you at any cost.</p>

<p><em>Wings of Fury</em> is an action game with some minor simulation aspects, in which you are the pilot of an American F6F Hellcat plane. The setting of the game is the Pacific during World War II.</p>
<p>It is your job to defeat the Japanese by destroying enemy bunkers, machine gun nests and barracks on a series of islands. Barracks and gun nests can be bombarded with regular bombs, while you'll have to use rockets to take out the concrete bunkers. After a successful bombing run, return to mow down the Japanese soldiers with your machine guns. You also have to sink Japanese battleships with torpedoes and engage in dogfights with enemy fighter planes.  </p>
<p>You start each mission by taking off from an aircraft carrier, which you'll have to protect from assaults by Japanese torpedo planes. Whenever you run out of fuel, bombs, rockets or machine gun ammo you can replenish those by returning to your carrier. Your carrier is also the place to repair damage to your plane.  </p>
<p>The <strong>Gameboy Color</strong> version of <em>Wings of Fury</em> has a toned down violence level. You no longer mow down Japanese soldiers with your machine guns, instead you bombard jeeps &amp; trucks. Also missing in this version are the Japanese torpedo planes and the small 1st-person view window. New are some extra manoeuvres for your plane like a barrel roll and a review of your ammo consumption after each mission. Using less ammo than allocated gives you bonus points.</p>

<p><em>NeoHunter</em> plays like a cinematic-backdrop shooter similar to <a href="/search/?q=Virtua+Squad">Virtua Squad</a> series.

<p><em>Death Knights of Krynn</em> is the 2nd volume of the <em>Dragonlance</em> epic and is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/833/champions-of-krynn/">Champions of Krynn</a>. Characters from that game may be imported to this game.</p>
<p>This time the party faces an undead threat that turns former friends into fierce enemies and infests Krynn with hordes of decaying monsters. The party must find the origin of these nightmarish undead creatures and eliminate it in order to save Krynn from turning into a land of undead. </p>
<p>Like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/833/champions-of-krynn/">Champions of Krynn</a>, Death Knights of Krynn introduces a different and unique character selection with the availability of the "Knight" class, unavailable in AD&amp;D non-<em>Dragonlance</em> RPGs. Characters in this game may level-up to higher levels and obtain new skills as well as more powerful spells. Experienced Knights may ultimately choose one out of 3 "clans" to focus more on a different type of fighting style.</p>
<p>Adventuring consists of either overland map travel or the standard 1st person town adventure. The player's party consists of 6 characters (of which one must be a Knight) as well as possible NPC characters joining your party. Wandering monsters will of course attack the party on occasion so gear up and prepare for undead monster-bashing combat!</p>

<p><em>Disc</em> is a game of fast reflexes and clever thinking. </p>
<p>Control one player against the computer or another person. The objective is to finish off opponents by knocking him off the platforms or by making the platform disappear by hitting the walls behind your opponents. Your weapon is a disc, which you can throw at your opponent or at the walls. The disc will ricochet off the walls, opening a wide range of angles and attacks. You can also try a direct hit at your opponents, as enough of these will eliminate him as well, but be careful - since it gives him a chance to block your disc, thus gain control of it!</p>
<p>As you progress through the levels, from Novice, through Disciple, up to a Great Guide, your rivals become tougher, platforms take longer hits to disappear, and there are more discs on the playing field.</p>

<p>Duke Nukem is forced back into action. It seems that the despite having their collective butt kicked back in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/365/duke-nukem-3d/">Duke Nukem 3D</a>, the aliens have not given up, and have now created a Queen that will be their new leader.

Vesuvius. Eventually you travel to Rome and climb the social ladder, becoming a Captain in the army, a Senator and eventually Emperor of Rome. Four of the game's six levels are adventure style romps, while in the other two levels you control an army in an attempt to conquer an enemy of Rome.

There are instances in which you have the freedom to choose how to deal with various problems.</p>

<p>Tube is a little known game from <a href="/search/?q=Bullfrog">Bullfrog</a> which, according to Home of the Underdogs (see links) was originally intended to be a test for a new Bullfrog employee.</p>
<p>A unique concept in itself, Tube utilizes an old demo trick to simulate an endless forward-moving tunnel, along with some neat vector effects to simulate a long race track of sorts. In a nutshell you have to pick up speed in order to beat the track before your time runs out; you also have to destroy various obstacles in your way and collect weapon upgrades.</p>
<p>This game was never made into a title by Bullfrog and was released as a freeware game -- see trivia.</p>

However, it's been slightly improved and does now allow interaction with the inventory, like examining and combining items. The player can use many typical special agent gadgets, beginning with a passport forgery kit and ending with explosive cigarettes. Apart from solving puzzles, the player has to make it through some arcade sequences: escape the labyrinth, dive with limited breath, and dodge the evil guy's minions.</p>

Eventually he meets the leader of the resistance, John Connor, and the young Kyle Reese, who send him on missions which are vital for humanity's survival. However, a strange phenomenon begins to occur, with enemies appearing out of nowhere. It seems that Skynet has perfected its technique of time manipulation. </p>
<p><em>Terminator: Future Shock</em> is a first-person shooter based on the <em>Terminator</em> movie series. The game is notable for being among the first in the genre to feature fully 3D environments and enemies, as well as mouse-based camera rotation, before those features were popularized by <a href="/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a>.

<p>The Deluxe Edition adds several new features to the game. Primarily it adds the option to create and play scenarios and to customize the world. In addition, nations now have different bonuses, several special resources and discoveries have been added, and you can form trade alliances with other nations.</p>

<p>The young Callash has been just crowned the king of Gran Callahach. Twenty years ago the land was in grave peril, as the evil sorcerer Sanwe planned to conquer and ruin it. But the old king's court wizard Ner-Tom magically imprisoned Sanwe using the powers of the Dragonsphere spell. The sorcerer swore to avenge his humiliation once the spell's energy runs out. Now, this time has come, and the young hero must defeat Sanwe before he breaks free. As he approaches the sorcerer's prison, he is yet to realize that dealing with Sanwe will lead to startling realizations concerning his own self, and unravel a new sinister plot...</p>
<p><em>Dragonsphere</em> is a graphic adventure in the classic third-person <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/72/lucasfilm-games/">LucasArts</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/22646/sierra/">Sierra</a> style, and the third adventure game by MicroProse, similar visually and gameplay-wise to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/539/rex-nebular-and-the-cosmic-gender-bender/">Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender</a>. The interaction with the game world is performed by applying one of the ten different verb commands to objects and/or people. Additionally, each object has several unique, specific verb commands that can be applied giving the player quite a number of possible combinations of object usage and sometimes more straight forward resolution to the problem. The game contains vast amounts of unique text responses to player's actions and branching dialogue with characters. Some of them are fatal for the main character so they need to be chosen wisely or accordingly to the presented facts and observations. The puzzles are, for the most part, inventory-based. The game features hand-painted backgrounds and some digitized animation.</p>

<p><em>Moraff's World</em> is a shareware role-playing game.</p>
<p>There are many dungeons and continents to explore. All the dungeons are randomly generated, though once the game is played for the first time the dungeons stay the same afterwords.

<ol>
<li>When Inspector Raoul Dusentier is invited to a cruise upon a mighty sailing ship by the wealthy businessman Niklos Karaboudjan, he looks forward to nothing but a relaxing week on the sea. Instead, his host manages to get himself killed on the second day. Murdered, to be exact. Too convenient that a policeman is aboard -- Dusentier sets out to search for suspects. He doesn't need to search long. Why is it that none of the family members seem awfully sad about the demise of the old man? Is the mysterious Father Fabiani really as pious as he says? In the tradition of Agatha Christie, each and every person on board has a motive for the murder.</li>
</ol>
<p><em>Cruise for a Corpse</em> is a graphic adventure game with a point-and-click interface. You advance in the plot not so much by solving common object-based puzzles, but by talking to the right persons about the right subjects at the right time, thus collecting clues. You will also find pieces of evidence scattered throughout the ship. However, most items suddenly appear in cupboards and drawers that were previously empty. The clock advances in ten-minute-steps whenever you discover an interesting clue, which conveniently informs you of your progress. The protagonists move around the ship; so whenever time passes, different persons to talk to might appear at certain locations.</p>
<p>With this game, Delphine Software's <em>Cinematique</em> interface reached "Evolution 2". Instead of containing a fixed number of verbs, the command menu is now context-sensitive. The mouse cursor will change its appearance when moved over an interesting object; a left-click brings up a set of appropriate verbs. For example, a cupboard may be opened and searched, whereas a key can be picked up and turned. A right-click accesses the inventory. The game features polygonal characters.</p>

<p>A platform game starring Tintin. <em>Tintin in Tibet</em> follows on the heel of Infogrames Asterix &amp; Obelix, with the same gameplay. Although the game will prove easy for the expert gamer, there are many levels to pass, each of which features new locations, enemies, and obstacles that serve to advance the storyline.</p>

<p>Germany in the year 1600 - the empire of the Fuggers is destroyed. Now it's your turn to rise it again. "Die Fugger 2" is a turn based trading simulation. During the game you can expand your business over 16 towns and try to get emperor of the country. Trading is the way you'll get your money. But it's not that easy, your trails may be plundered, your stocks may burn down, or anything else. It's also possible to get your own pirate hideouts to plunder your competitors goods. But be careful, if they find out who did that, you may end up in prison. When you claim a higher political position it's possible for you to change laws, rise taxes and many more. This all sounds very complex, but after a few hours of playing it's quite easy to handle as the menues are clean and direct.</p>

<p>In the months before France is liberated by the Allies in World War 2, Germany tries to take Paris' collection of classic paintings. As Resistance member Pierre LeFeu, helped by wounded former engineer Le Duc, must prevent this happening, but taking the paintings by train to Normandy and Allied control.</p>
<p>Once in control of the train, you must set the throttle level, ensure that there is enough coal in the furnace, control the speed, and ensure that steam is released when necessary. Use the provided map, and the communications network once released, to plan the strategic side of your mission. Each station has coal and water supplies which may be needed to keep the train running.</p>
<p>You must raid railway stations in order to get track switches into the right position. Both this and the initial capture of the train involve aiming at the enemy, current indicated point, and ducking before their bullets can hit you. Taking control of bridges is similar - you control a cannon and must take aim.</p>

<p>This RTS (real-time strategy) game tells the story of a futuristic war between the humans and the inhabitants of Jupiter (Jovians). The player can choose to command the armies of either side. Humans and Jovians have different menu layouts and tactics which they can employ for offensive and defensive actions. Also, the Jovians must deal with the atmosphere of the Earth, which obstructs their view, by using special troops; the humans also face a problem in the sulphur shrouds of Jupiter.</p>
<p>The game implements its own view system for battles. Some may know it from their TV's - there's a picture-in-picture option to view 3 different locations at the same time. You can choose from two modes of play, normal RTS, or a more complicated variant which is just playable if you're confident with the manual.</p>

<p>In <em>Transport Tycoon</em>, you are in charge of a transport company starting in 1930 in the midst of The Great Depression, and your aim is to build up an empire of trains, ships, lorries, planes and helicopters, with technological evolution to be taken into account. You can play alone, or with a number of computer-controlled rivals. </p>
<p>At the beginning of the game, you (and your rivals) have a large terrain at your disposal. The terrain is shown in isometric projection and includes hills, rivers, lakes, bridges, industrial facilities and a lot of small towns. It is up to you to decide how to start building your empire. </p>
<p>Maybe you can begin by connecting two towns with a road, building a vehicle depot somewhere next to the road, and setting up bus stops in both towns. Now just buy a bus (initially, there are just a few models available, but more buses appear with time), set its schedule, and watch as it goes between both bus stops, taking passengers and unloading them, earning you money. You can also transport passengers by building train tracks, sea ports, or airports and then buying appropriate vehicles - trains, ferries, planes. </p>
<p>If you set up a station next to an industrial facility (such as a factory, a power plant or a farm), you can also transport various cargo, such as coal, livestock or wood, which allows you to earn much more money than transporting passengers. Of course, you'll have to buy special lorries and train cars if you'll want to deal with these. Most businesses offer certain types of cargo and are ready to pay for transporting other cargo to them; for example, a steel mill has a lot of steel to fill your cars, and will gladly accept iron ore if you have any. </p>
<p>Clicking on any of your vehicles brings up a small window where you can observe a live feed of what the vehicle is doing and look up its status. If anything important happens during the game (such as a particular station accepting its first vehicle), it is shown as a newspaper headline at the bottom of the screen. </p>
<p>Various versions exist building upon the DOS original, with the most notably different being the PlayStation port, which in addition to the isometric graphics includes a 3D view of the world map taking advantage of the PlayStation’s graphics hardware. The game was followed up with the release of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4902/transport-tycoon-world-editor/">World Editor</a> and later re-released in enhanced form as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/535/transport-tycoon-deluxe/">Transport Tycoon Deluxe</a>.</p>

<p>This game is about building up a trading company, with the only way of transport available being by ship. There are 100 harbours wih 32 different goods available, and the player can design their own ships when they have the money necessary. Many events that can affect business operations will also happen during the course of the game, like sea storms, UN embargoes, quarantines or fines for menacing nature.</p>

<p>Fly four different campaigns of the World War I. The missions are very different and reach from patrol flights to fast attacks. You'll meet planes like Sopwith Camel, Nieuport Scout, SPAD S.XIII, Albatros D.III or Fokker Dr.I Triplane, to mention a few. The game is for both, beginners and experts as you can individually change the realism model.</p>

<p>A pinball game based on the original Star Trek series. There are three tables in the game, the third of which actually requires two players to play. Although available for sale, it was also bundled free with Starfleet Academy.</p>

<p>As in the film of the same name, the melting of the polar ice caps has created a flooded world. Worse, it's a world where law and order has broken down, where gangs of mercenaries and tribalists are constantly on the attack. As leader of a group of survivors, you must complete 22 missions of real-time strategy.</p>
<p>Some missions are attack based, and some are purely defensive. Flame-throwers, Molotov Cocktails and crossbows are among the 17 featured weapons. Steal weaponry and improves the defences of your fortress to survive. Resource management across missions is another key element. The storyline is flowed by cut-scenes involving actors from the film.</p>

Stones is a game where you trade precious/semiprecious stones around the table, trying to get the most valuable hand, or the most complete and valuable hand (you get a 100 silver piece bonus for the most complete and valuable hand). You continue playing until you are wiped out by cleverer opponents and don't have enough silver pieces to buy yourself back into the game.</p>

<p>You play as a pyromaniac with a special system of burning down buildings: the night before you strike at a location, you hide gas cans all around the building. Then, the next day after all the people have left the building, you go to the top floor with a ball of cotton. You light it up and carefully go down the building floor by floor, picking up gas cans, pouring their contents all over the place, sometimes just running the fuse over them and letting them explode. This is depicted in ASCII graphics and using speaker sound.</p>

<p>Shut the Box is a version of a classic dice game.  Players roll a pair of dice.  They then select digits from 1 to 9 that total the same number as the dice.  Once a digit is selected, it cannot be used on subsequent rolls in the current round.  When the player cannot select digits totaling the dice roll, the round is over.  The player scores points equal to the sum of the digits used that round.  If the player successfully uses all nine digits, they get five bonus points for a total of 50 points for the round.  The game consists of five rounds and, naturally, the player with the highest score wins.</p>
<p>The game was designed for PC/XT/AT computers with any kind of monitor. The graphics are made up of "ANSI characters," which allow for a more colorful display than CGA would have. Simple sound is provided by the PC speaker.</p>

<p><em>MicroLink Yaht</em> is a computerized version of the classic dice game that Milton Bradley has popularized as <em>Yahtzee</em>. Players roll five dice trying to get certain combinations for their scorecard. They may reroll any of the five dice twice after the first roll or choose to stop rolling at any point before that. Deciding where to put a score can be just as important as actually rolling a certain combination. If a player rolls particularly well, they can get bonus points.</p>

<p>Lead the secret war on illegal drugs in South America! Wage war against drug barons with advanced weaponry such as F-22 fighters and AH-64 helicopters. Destroy their drug pipeline to starve them of cash, but don't hit the civilians or you may get kicked out of the country! The drug lords won't stand by though... And they had used the drug money for an effective arsenal, from missiles to fighters and more. Gather intelligence, decide on strike targets, and launch planes to accomplish their missions. Take over any plane in flight if you think they need help. Send in DEA agents to gather more intelligence and resupply local rebels. Can you win the war?</p>
<p>ATAC can be described as two games in one. On the strategic level, you need to figure out how the drug barons are forming their pipeline and the best way to destroy the pipeline while causing minimal damage to the civilian population, while defending your own base against intruders and attackers. You can order recon flights or gather intelligence from rebels and DEA agents on the ground. When you get enough intelligence, you can issue target orders to up to 4 crafts (F-22's or AH-64's). and they'll go accomplish those missions if they can. </p>
<p>Once you're off in the air, the game becomes first-person simulator, where you fly through the jungles of South America chasing the target you need to destroy while fighting the drug baron's mercenary forces. </p>
<p>How you do in one will affect how you do in the other.</p>

That's were the adventure begins with our hero - Chewy in the lead.</p>

<p>Squarez is a puzzle game with similarities to <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>. Various shapes consisting of one to eight tiles appear in a 3x3 area and must be placed on the playing field within ten seconds. When a 3x3 or larger square is created it disappears. The game is over once a part of a shape remains in the area where it appears after its ten seconds are up.</p>
<p>There are three game modes: Basic, Normal, and Extreme. The Normal mode is just like Basic except that some of the shapes contain special tiles. These tiles are activated when the square containing them disappears. Some tiles, like bombs and score multipliers, are helpful, while others, like spikes, should be left alone. In the Extreme mode there are a lot more of these special tiles.</p>
<p>Squarez also features a head to head mode. In this mode two players each have their own playing field, and certain special tiles activated by one player can affect the other. The player to last the longest wins.</p>

<p>Management simulation about production, trading and conquest set in a fantasy world with dragons and wizards.</p>

<p>The game consists of several actions parts linked together. All parts are different, each resembling typical games of the genre (for example: 1st level is like a side-view beat 'em up). Between each level a small cutscene from the movie is shown.</p>

<p><em>The Third Courier</em> is set in the era of the 'cold war', and the action takes place in Germany. The player is an American spy, and his mission is to recover stolen NATO defense plans.</p>
<p>You start off in your apartment, which contains a computer, bugging equipment and an answerphone, as well as useful items such as money and a passport. A compass on screen is used to move around, with symbols appearing on the left and right of the status screen to indicate when something important is to the west or east of you. </p>
<p>You will have to explore the city streets, with the aid of taxis and the Autobahn. Talk to important people and buy key objects, and then sneak around spying on anyone who seems suspicious. Encounters with enemy agents, muggers and tramps can turn violent; when they do, use your gun quickly to ensure they are shot first.</p>

<p>In TKO you can play the career of a boxer. Create your boxer by trading off a mixture of attributes, for example a boxer who cuts easily will not tire as easily, and a boxer whose best punch is to the head will not punch to the body as efficiently  </p>
<p>The main 1st-person perspective view shows the faces of both you and your opponent, including progressively injured faces as you land punches. A small overhead view helps you see when you or your opponent are close to the ropes.</p>

<p>Psycho is a graphic adventure game with a key-based verb interface.</p>
<p>A set of jewels has been stolen. At the time of the theft, a curator was with the jewels, so he got stolen, too. And who's the suspect? Norman Bates, of course. The next night, a daring detective drives out to the sinister Bates Motel. His plan: a) find the jewels, b) free the curator and c) take a nice hot shower, should time suffice.</p>
<p>Psycho is entirely controlled with the keyboard: direction keys for moving your character around, shortcut keys for performing actions. You need to stand close to an interesting object in order to examine it. Adversaries will appear at random throughout the house, putting you to sleep by touch and thus draining your precious time -- you've only got four hours to solve the case. You may shoot the enemies as soon as you find a weapon. As there is no other option for character interaction, this is how you'll deal with the Bates family as well.</p>

<p>A grand strategical game of World War 2 in the west from 1944 to 1945. Both the Western and the Italian front are covered in detail; the Eastern front is simulated in order to reflect the influences of a two-front war. Scenarios range from operation "Overlord" to the "Battle of the Bulge". The game is the logical successor of <a href="/search/?q=Second+Front+Germany+turns+east">Second Front: Germany Turns East</a> which covers the war in the east.</p>

<p>A World War 2 submarine simulation set in the South Pacific. Destroy Japanese convoys to support your country's war effort. Practice, campaign and historical modes are available.</p>

Both, IJN and USN forces, can be controlled by humans. The game-engine is much the same as the one used in <a href="/search/?q=SSI">SSI</a>'s <a href="/search/?q=Battle+Cruiser">Battle Cruiser</a>, which wasn't released for IBM PCs.</p>

<p>A space combat game like Wing Commander; you control a space ship, as the lone man trying to save humanity from not one, but two alien races. It also has multiplayer modes like Race and Tag for IPX network users.</p>

<p>For the advanced wargamer, "Second Front: Germany turns East" is a division-level strategic game on a grand scale. The map extends from Berlin in the West to Stalingrad in the East, and covers the entire Russian Front. Players command over 150 German divisions and over 200 Soviet divisions, with asset information available to the individual tank, plane and infantry squad level.</p>

<p>A grand strategical game covering World War 2 in the Pacific and South East Asia areas. The player has to manage every aspect of the conflict: From building Task Forces, moving troops and planes, to managing production, it's all there (and much more). Different starting points to enter the war can be chosen. Either side can be played by a human player.</p>

<p><em>Balda</em> is a game roughly similar to Scrabble, except each player is only allowed to enter one letter per move. Each player may create words by using letters in multiple directions placed on the game board (vertically, horizontally or left-right).</p>

<p>Little Brad didn't believe in witches until he met one. The evil hag torments the fantasy land of Enchantia, and has just summoned Brad from the Earth as an ingredient to her potion of eternal youth. Brad doesn't like this plan. And who would be better suited to rid Enchantia of the sorceress than a tender teen?</p>
<p><em>Curse of Enchantia</em> is a graphic adventure game with an icon-based interface. The game contains almost no text: there are no object descriptions, and the purpose of most items is apparent. In the rare occasions of interaction with other characters, symbols in balloons substitute words. If there is text on the screen, it usually consists of either signs or comic phrases.</p>
<p>Starting in a prison cell, Brad will have to free himself and find his way on the ocean floor, through a medieval city, a junkyard and an ice castle. The player commands Brad via an icon bar that pops up if the right mouse button is pressed. The hero can perform a variety of actions, e.g. wearing, inserting, combining or fighting. Apart from steering Brad around, there is no need to click on the screen. Brad has to stand next to the object he wants to interact with, which will then appear as an icon in the command bar. It is impossible to die in the game: in fact, doing potentially deadly things is often rewarded with funny animations.</p>

<p><em>Liero</em> is like <a href="/search/?q=Worms">Worms</a> but with players battling in realtime instead of turn-based.</p>
<p>At the start of the game, each player chooses 5 weapons from a vast weapons array, 40 in total. The weapons range from simple pistols and shotguns to bazookas and the ever deadly cluster bombs (known in the game as the chiquita bomb)</p>
<p>Players can dig through mud, jump and throw ninja ropes to navigate through the area. The players must seek each other out and destroy the opposing player. When a worm is hit, ridiculous amounts of blood spurts around. All weapons have infinite ammo, however they do need to be reloaded after emptying a clip. Reloading takes a few seconds, and during this time the player cannot fire. The more powerful a weapons is, the sooner it needs to be reloaded, sometimes after every single shot.</p>
<p>During the game, players can pick up crates with weapon power-ups. When collected, the weapon power-up replaces whatever weapon is in the active weapon slot.</p>

It is a utility that allows the user to modify any prebuilt cities or design their own which can be loaded into <em>SimCity 2000</em> by customizing the buildings, terrain and artwork.</p>
<p>The DOS version of the game only works with the DOS version of <em>SimCity 2000</em>. The Windows version only works with the Windows <em>SimCity 2000</em>.</p>

<p><em>Operation: Fighting Tiger</em> is the third add-on for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1629/falcon-30/">Falcon 3.0</a>. Three new scenarios are included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Japan vs Russia in a fight over the Kurils</li>
<li>A second Korea War</li>
<li>An all-out conflict involving Pakistan and India</li>
</ul>

<p>Unlike previous add-ons for <em>Falcon 3.0</em>, <em>Operation: Fighting Tiger</em> integrates itself into the base game instead of being launched separately.</p>

<p>This stand-alone sequel to <em>Redneck Rampage</em> finds Leonard and Bubba shooting their way back to Hickston after crash-landing the UFO at the end of the first game. Using the same engine and most of the same graphics as the original, <em>RRRA</em> adds vehicles, some new weapons (including a sling blade), new alien clones (a Dennis Hopper-ish biker and an evil cheerleader), and fourteen levels of ass-whuppin'.</p>

<p>Nyet is a freeware <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> clone using ANSI graphics. The following was taken from the game's readme file:</p>
<p>Although I did not invent the game, I did write this implementation from scratch (using Turbo Pascal Version 4.0). I did it mainly for the hell of it, but I improved on the original where I thought it needed it. The two main improvements are the ability to run on monochrome screens (although it looks better in color) and a more responsive feel. Finally, my version should work at the same speed no matter how fast your processor is; I have heard that that is a problem with the commercial version.</p>

<p>Become a police detective and solve 12 murders in Micropolis.  Players interview witnesses, gather evidence, and sift through lab reports to get the clues they need to solve each case.  Each action, particularly traveling between locations, adds time to the game clock.</p>
<p>One to four people can play, competing to see who solves the mystery first and in the optimum amount of time.  After the case is presented, players take turns choosing an option, getting a clue number, and then looking it up in the manual.  Once a player thinks they have it solved, they present their solution to the others.  Then he looks up the complete solution.  If it's 100% right, he wins and the players start on a new case. If any detail is wrong, he's out of the game and the others continue toward a solution.  (Note the computer requires  player honesty when asking if he got it right nor not.)</p>

<p>The object of Inside Trader is "to make millions of dollars without being apprehended by the [SEC]."  The player starts with $30,000 and makes money playing the fictional stock market, keeping an eye on current events via "the wire service."  It is entirely possible to play the game without using any inside information. (But what's the fun in that?)</p>
<p>The commands are very simple.  The player either buys or sells stock, pays for information, gets reports, and, if caught, cooperates with the SEC or destroys evidence.  Cooperating means an automatic fine, but he can continue playing.  If he does nothing, there's a small chance they'll drop the charges, but if they don't he'll pay a higher fine.  If he destroys evidence, there's a slight better chance of getting off scott-free, but getting caught means jail time and the end of the game.</p>

<p>"The object of the game is to make a fortune by acquiring as many companies as posible within each industry while building a monopoly."  There are 12 different industries and the player begins holding one company in each.  First, the player must raise funds through financing (either a bank loan, venture capitalists, or junk bonds), stock trading, and later greenmail (above market offers for stock the player holds, usually to stave off a takeover).  The player only deals with one industry at a time, but can change at any time and use funds gained in one to take over companies in another.  </p>
<p>It sounds simple, but there is a hostile corporation in each industry that is also trying to take over other companies.  Additionally, there are three possible responses to a takeover bid:  accept, offer too low, and no deal.  In the case of "no deal," only a hostile takeover can be done, and the company will use takeover blocking tactics.  And if a hostile corporation gets controlling interest in your company, you can no longer buy stock  in that industry.  Luckily, you can also use takeover blocking tactics.</p>

<p>King Minos has commissioned a labyrinth bridging time and space which will allow Minos to rule the earth.  You have been chosen to save the world by destroying the labyrinth. Many mazes and puzzles are involved.</p>

<p>Quinn is an apprentice thief in the city of Cairn, who needs to prove himself worthy of being admitted to the guild. The problem is, Quinn is just too honest to steal anything of value. When the Duke of Cairn is murdered, the treacherous master of the thieves guild frames the naive Quinn for the crime. Quinn escapes from his holding cell, but is now all alone in the city and the surrounding mountains, hunted by guards and his former comrades. He must find a way to prove his innocence, and bring the real murderers to justice.</p>
<p><em>Shadows of Cairn</em> is an action game with platform elements. The player navigates Quinn over side-scrolling environments, either sneaking past enemies, or engaging them in combat. Quinn can jump and climb, which are essential abilities for bypassing the traps found in the game. When in combat, the player can have Quinn execute high, medium, and low punches and kicks.</p>

<p>Dungeon Crawl is an open source roguelike game originally developed by Linley Henzell.  In March of 1999, Linley entered law school and gave over the maintanence duty to a group who call themselves the Crawl DevTeam. </p>
<p>Dungeon Crawl allows the player to choose a race and class for his character, then the character is set loose in a dungeon.  The eventual goal of the game is to retrieve the Orb of Zot from the depths of the dungeon and escape with it for fame and the people's ovation forever.</p>
<p>Some of Crawl's interesting features include: complex skill system, religion with many gods, unique magic spells, and many optional, themed side dungeons.</p>

<p>In <em>Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games</em> you take a group of mercenaries (mercs) through a series of missions. Gameplay is almost identical to the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1038/jagged-alliance/">Jagged Alliance</a>, featuring overhead-view turn based combat taking place over an area map. The main difference between the two products is the addition of new mission types, new weapons, multiplayer (over an IPX network), as well as scenario and campaign editors. Players begin by hiring up to six mercenaries from a roster of many and equip them with necessary weapons and items. They are then assigned to a mission with particular and unique objectives. The missions are ordered but they are not geographically linked as in the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1038/jagged-alliance/">Jagged Alliance</a> or its sequel, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/356/jagged-alliance-2/">Jagged Alliance 2</a>.</p>

<p>First you choose one out of four different characters to represent you, Scarlet (red army), Oberon (yellow army), Caesar (green army), or Madcap (blue army). The game is split into 10 levels - the first 9 are groups of 3 territories which can be completed in any order, while the final 'Mother of All Battles' has its own surprises. </p>
<p>Land is mostly of sand, grass or ice. You start with 100 men and you can use whatever quantity you find necessary on each island. The rest men left will go to another level with another new 100. In the second half of the game you can freeze men to save them for the Mother of All Battles.</p>
<p>Once you select your island and place for your HQ, you must do some research for better weapons and defences. On the roof of your buildings you can put protectors like archers, gunmen, boiling oil men, and later on even laser turrets. If you send a team of unarmed men into an unoccupied square, they will build an additional base there, with larger armies completing this more quickly.</p>
<p>Later on higher levels, you'll also build mines and factories, as you'll need to dig a certain material for higher level weapons, depending on whether the area you're on is rich with a certain material or not. With each next level, you'll start from a higher technology level and be able to progress to one higher level up than at the previous level.</p>
<p>If there is more than just one enemy, you can make an alliance until you crush the other one - three of you can form an alliance against fourth enemy. For what its worth, a certain numeric level of defence is always stronger from the same level of attacker, and men that are not armed (conscripts) can only kill enemy soldiers, not destroy or attack enemy fort.</p>
<p>The main thing as always in strategy games is to be the sole survivor and lead your men to victory, experimenting on vicious technologies, equipping your men, making perfect soldiers out of them, produce shields, weapons, planes... to dominate the world and crush your opponents. </p>
<p>You can do the battling only in a certain quadrant, but don't be long as your men will automatically start building the fort, and it will be at the bottom of age level and you'll need to invent everything for that one again.</p>

<p>A year after the events of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7356/ninja-gaiden/">Ninja Gaiden</a>, a new villain named Ashtar receives word of Jaquio's defeat. Ashtar uses this opportunity to hatch a new plan to plunge the world into darkness. The ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, hits the trail to destroy all manner of vile creatures entering the world while fighting his way to destroy Ashtar, his Dark Sword of Chaos, and whatever else is behind the evil.</p>
<p><em>Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos</em> is a fast paced, side scrolling action game in the tradition of the original Ninja Gaiden game. Ryu is a ninja who can run, jump, and slash with his ninja sword. He can also attach to vertical walls and climb up and down, which is an ability missing in the previous game. Powerups are hidden everywhere throughout the levels. These powerups include fireballs and ninja stars as before; a unique new powerup is the ninja shadow. Ryu can collect up to 2 ninja shadows that follow his every movement and use the same weapons at the same time that Ryu strikes.</p>
<p>Ninja Gaiden II tells its story through liberal use of cinematic scenes interspersed between the action levels. Different levels feature a variety of environmental interaction; e.g., one level has Ryu on a high mountain where snow is falling fast and the wind is blowing hard. The shifting direction of the snowfall indicates how the wind is blowing and Ryu has to fight against the breeze. In a night level, much of the environment is dark and is illuminated only sporadically by flashes of lightning.</p>

<p>This simulation puts you in the cockpit of the A-10 Thunderbolt II, which is also known as the "Warthog". As the game's name implies, it is used mainly to hunt enemy tanks, but also for destroying roads and bridges </p>
<p>You are armed with 30mm Avenger cannon which can fire around 70 times a second. Multiple camera angles are featured. Landing is automated and an accelerated time function is on offer.</p>
<p>Characters have full AI to act without your involvement and will communicate with you in-flight. Actions in one mission affect another - something you failed to destroy in one mission can attack you later.</p>
<p>Version 1.5 re-released in 1991 added 7 new scenarios set during Operation Desert Storm in Iraq.</p>

<p><em>Time Bandit</em> is a Gauntlet-style arcade game with text adventure elements.</p>
<p>Having nothing to do with the Terry Gilliam movie <em>Time Bandits</em>, this game utilises the time-travel theme for a fast-paced preview of the concept getting famous with <a href="/search/?q=Gauntlet">Gauntlet</a> two years later. Your bandit visits 16 different worlds throughout time to grab as much loot as possible and, in the long run, do some universe-saving stuff as well.</p>
<p>Each of the 16 locations -- featuring such varied places like a medieval arena, a bomb factory, a wrecked spaceship and a ghost town -- is basically a labyrinth filled with treasure and -- you guessed it -- monsters. You've got to dodge these or blast them with your weapon, while collecting keys, opening doors and searching for the exit. Although theoretically each location consists of 16 sub-levels, these are merely the basic layout flipped or mirrored, some items redistributed and the monster speed increased. After completing a level, you return to the world map, where you may freely choose the next challenge (nice) and save your game (very nice).</p>
<p>Interestingly, Time Bandit tries to spice up the fast arcade action with text adventure scenes. Due to this strange mixture, you will occasionally bump into persons or computer consoles with which interaction is possible. For example, you've got to explore and repair the damaged spaceship Excalibur. However, the parser is crude at best; you'll have to know exactly what to do, or else you will trigger no reaction.</p>
<p>Gaming veterans will discover a score of elements of and allusions to arcade classics, such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10841/tutankham/">Tutankham</a>, <a href="/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a>, <a href="/search/?q=Centipede+(1983)">Centipede</a>, Bomberman, and others.</p>

<p><em>Jonny Quest</em> is an action-adventure game with beat-em-up sequences.</p>
<p>This game is based on the Hanna-Barbera animation series <em>The Adventures of Jonny Quest</em> of 1964. Jonny is a bright young fellow with a talent for judo-fighting, defeating evil creatures and generally doing heroic things normally not suited for 14-year-old boys. When mayan idols disappear in the South American rain forest, the Team Quest sets out to comb through the jungle and a couple of temples.</p>
<p>Gameplay is divided into two parts: On the top-down map of the forest and the temples, Jonny and his friend Hadji search for useful items and solve puzzles. If they encounter an adversary, the game switches to a side-view. Jonny’s then got to defeat his opponent in classical beat-em-up-style with a variety of punches and kicks. After a short time, Hadji and the dog Bandit appear on the scene and help Jonny by casting spells (Hadji) and dragging the enemy around (Bandit). If you lose, you’ll get two additional chances; after that, the game is over.</p>
<p>All main actions (talk, look around, access inventory) are performed via the F-keys; more sophisticated possibilities like using items involve strings of F-key/direction key usage. The puzzles in the game are inventory-based.</p>

<p><em>The Incredible Machine</em> is a puzzle game where the player has to assemble a Rube Goldberg-type contraption to solve a simple puzzle. </p>
<p>The game consists of a series of puzzles, each having a simple objective, such as "put the baseball into the basket" or "turn on the fan". To achieve this, the player is given a number of parts such as: balls, girders, rope, balloons, seesaws, cats or monkeys, and his job is to arrange and connect them on the playfield, so that, upon clicking the "start puzzle" button, the whole contraption activates and achieves the objective. </p>
<p>For added difficulty, some puzzles have different gravity or air pressure from that of Earth. </p>
<p>There is also a freeform mode where the player is given an unlimited number of parts to construct a machine of his own invention. The machines created this way can be saved to disk.</p>

<p><em>Bloodwings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge</em> is a 3D shooter based on the movie <em>Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings</em>. The player becomes the "Keeper of the Spirits" and must travel through mystical realms in search of the objects needed to appease the spirit of Pumpkinhead, occasionally peering through portals into the "real world" (i.e. clips from the film).</p>

<p>This tactical wargame/adventure is based on the GDW pencil and paper role-playing game. NATO and Warsaw Pact forces spent the latter part of the 1990s fighting a brutal war, which has turned Poland into a desolate radiation-riddled land, full of abandoned vehicles and weapons. The maniacal Baron Czarny wants to take over what's left of the country; you must stop him.</p>
<p>The player must organize a team of 20 generated soldiers, each of whom will respond to orders differently, based on their personality. Specific abilities, attributes and languages spoken can be set. </p>
<p>Action from within the vehicles is shown in 3D, outside action is viewed top-down. Both aspects of the game require meticulous planning around the game's range of weapons and vehicles. Help can be received from NPCs, via the game's communication system.</p>

<p>A bundle containing five classic adventure games from LucasArts (hence the name). This package includes:</p>

<p>This game allows the player to play the ancient game of Mahjong against three computer players.  Unlike many other games with Mahjong in the title, this game does not consists of picking matching tiles off of a pile of tiles to see if you can remove them all.  Instead, it plays similarly to the card game Gin where you must accumulate straights or runs to win.  However, Mahjong has its own special rules involving the special tiles used to play the game.</p>
<p>The game has a number of pre-programmed opponents, each with their own portrait, voice, and play style.</p>

<p><em>Emilio Butragueño Fútbol</em> is a game branded with the moniker of the Spanish striker Butragueño, who was discovered for the rest of the world in the World Cup 1986.</p>
<p>The game is simply a simulation of soccer; no league, no tournament... only a match, team white against team red.</p>

<p>In 2087, a physicist, inventor of a time travel machine, assembles a group of Guardians to travel back in time and thwart the assassination of President Kennedy. Try to convince everyone that his life is in danger and have an actual face to face meeting with Kennedy.</p>
<p><em>Guardians of Infinity: To Save Kennedy</em> is a text adventure with a few graphical images. The player inputs verb commands, communicating with the agents and instructing them to perform various tasks to prevent the assassination. There is a time limit imposed on the game. The gameplay heavily relies on the usage of the manual, since it contains vital information concerning the whereabouts and schedules of key people that the player must interact with in order to accomplish the goal.</p>

<p>For any baseball fan, stats are very important. With Out of the Park, a DOS based Baseball application, you have plenty of stats, and more. Manage your own team through the season, making trades and adding players through the yearly draft, and then watch as your team turns into the World Champs.</p>

<p><em>Mortville Manor</em> is an adventure game which takes place in February of 1951. As private detective Jérôme Lange, you are sent a telegram by Julia Defranck, a childhood friend. In it, she informs you that she is very ill and in grave danger. She urges you to join her in her mansion and advises discretion. Once there, you learn she has passed away. You must solve the mystery. But beware; if you don't tread lightly, you will be sent away, or worse...</p>
<p>The gameplay focuses on conducting a detective investigation rather than on inventory-based puzzles, though items must be found and examined for its purposes. Conversations with suspects offer a wide variety of topics. The player wanders through the mansion at his own pace, but events would sometimes occur regardless of his actions. The game's interface consists of drop-down menus, including about 20 different verbs used for interactions.</p>

<p>The first of the <a href="/search/?q=NBA+Live">NBA Live</a> titles on the PC, <em>NBA Live 95</em> includes all of the basketball players from the '94 - '95 season as well as the All-Star teams from the East and West.</p>
<p>Manage over 300 players using the General Manager feature, new in this edition. Statistics for each player and team are saved. View players and teams side-by-side to compare stats and other information. You can trade any player in the league.</p>
<p>Multiple in-game settings let you choose the mode of play, the style, and even the length of a quarter or session. Full motion videos bring your plays to life onscreen. Listen to the crowd roar, the noises of the court and hoop, and voices of the players. There is also a soundtrack of modern music.</p>
<p>The DOS version includes support for 2 graphics resolutions: Normal mode (low res) 320x200 or Wide Angle (high res) 640x480. Gameplay can be controlled using the keyboard, mouse or joystick.</p>

<p>The warriors who have destroyed the evil wizard Mangar receive a letter while celebrating their victory. The letter informs them of a terrible disaster: Mangar's master, the Mad God Tarjan, has unleashed his wrath upon the town of Skara Brae, completely destroying in. The heroes visit a refugee camp nearby and embark on a quest to defeat Tarjan.</p>
<p><em>Thief of Fate</em> is the third installment in the <em>Bard's Tale</em> series, and a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1273/the-bards-tale-ii-the-destiny-knight/">The Destiny Knight</a>. It is similar to its predecessors, being a first-person fantasy role-playing game in which the player explores maze-like pseudo-3D towns, dungeons, and wilderness areas. Two new character classes have been added: Geomancer and Chronomancer. There are more dungeons than in the previous games, and this installment also adds an auto-mapping feature. The game's world is divided into separate realms accessed by using time warps, each with its own theme and setting - including, among others, famous locations from Earth's history such as ancient Rome or Berlin during World War II.</p>

<p>Four oil companies (each of which can he human or computer controlled) do battle to dominate the lucrative oil industry, buying and selling oilfields around the world. You can choose one of four main goals, from topping the market in 3 years to total domination. Plenty of dirty tricks to help you are on offer, from setting fire to opponent's rigs to stealing the storage tanks which hold the oil in place. Private investigators can be hired to either prevent to prove these things.</p>
<p>Although primarily a strategy game, a few short action sequences are also included. These come into play when attempting to drill for oil (you can hire a specialist to do this instead, but the cost is prohibitive in the early stages), to build oil pipelines around those of your opponents, and to extinguish any fires opponents start on your rig.</p>

<p>Balance of the Planet is an environmental management simulation.</p>
<p>It is the successor to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/259/balance-of-power/">Balance of Power</a>.</p>
<p>Chris Crawford seems to have a special liking for problems of global concern. Balance of Power dealt with politics in the cold war, its successor Balance of the Planet simulates nothing less than Earth's ecosystem. Although Maxis' <a href="/search/?q=SimEarth">Sim Earth</a> is often credited as the first "ecosim", the title rightfully belongs to Crawford's game. Both games are equally interesting nevertheless, as they use two vastly different approaches to an enormously complex subject.</p>
<p>Sim Earth tries to simulate the natural processes, i.e. continental drift, weather, global temperature etc. as accurately as possible, and calculates the global impact from this basic conditions. Balance of the Planet breaks down the ecological system into 150 single factors, connected in a cause-and-effect network. Rather than experiencing the ecosystem as a whole, you discover a string of subjects that influence each other. For example, when dealing with global warming, you'd be referred to carbon dioxides and methane (the causes) and rising sea level (the result). By following and understanding the links, you may thus find out in which way beef production influences inundation. There is, however, no accurate simulation of a global ecology, rather than a sophisticated schematic of factors and problems.</p>
<p>Contrary to Sim Earth, you do <em>not</em> change the mechanisms of nature themselves. Instead, you're to try to influence society by funding and granting subsidies. If you raise the tax on coal considerably, coal burning and thus carbon dioxide output will be discouraged, but the strain on other forms of energy will increase. You'd be best advised to subsidise renewable energies -- which leaves less money for other pressing problems. Your job is to balance the ecology with the age-old system of reward and punishment. This has to be done in only nine turns; you are awarded or subtracted points, depending on your success.</p>
<p>Balance of the Planet is highly customisable. You may not only load "biased" games, in which you play with a certain prejudice (e.g. pro-nuclear), but also change all the formulas used for calculations to your liking.</p>

<p><em>Terminator: Rampage</em> is <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/171/bethesda-softworks-llc/">Bethesda</a>'s third <em>Terminator</em>-licensed game, and is a standard first-person corridor crawler.</p>
<p>In <em>Rampage</em>, the corrupt defense system SkyNet again finds itself overrun by the human Resistance, and again manages to send a robot into the past to preserve its future existence. Sent to 1984, this time it is the monstrous "Meta-Node;" a machine explicitly designed for infiltration and construction. Four years after landing, this Meta-Node has managed to completely capture Cyberdyne's Cheyenne Mountain complex and uses the armored bunker to start building a fledgling SkyNet, and legions of Terminator robots to protect it.</p>
<p>The player takes command of a human Resistance commando, sent into the past and directly into the entrance of a machine-controlled Cheyenne Mountain. The player must scour each level, searching for upgraded clearance cards, weapons, ammunition, and health. Meanwhile, the full contingent of SkyNet's modern forces try to stop him, from flying drones and floating mines, to disguised Terminators posing as civilians. The player must locate parts to assemble a prototype "V-TEC" plasma rifle, battle through to the final level of the complex, and destroy the Meta-Node to secure victory for humankind.</p>

<p>A chess game based on T2, featuring sounds and characters from the movie as pieces.
Captures are animated a la Battle Chess, but the battles take place off the board, in futuristic wastelands and similar stages</p>
<p>The game offers several difficulties and play styles to choose from, along with time control, ratings on the USCF scale over different time-frames and other niceties. Oddly enough, there's no 2D board.</p>

<p>WizardWorks combed the net for another 1000 Doom and Doom II levels to put into this shovelware disc which also features the D! front end.</p>

<p><em>Monuments of Mars</em> is a low-rez, early PC platform game sharing an engine with <a href="/search/?q=Apogee">Apogee</a>'s <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/716/arctic-adventure/">Arctic Adventure</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3200/pharaohs-tomb/">Pharaoh's Tomb</a>.</p>
<p>A number of astronauts sent to Mars on a mission to explore the strange structures there have mysteriously gone missing. Now NASA sends its best man (you) to rescue them and, if possible, find out more about the mysterious monuments and their purpose. This perilous journey will take the player to the famous Pyramid, Fortress and Face of Mars, among other locations. Along the way he will collect various items and face deadly alien creatures.</p>
<p>The game is split into four episodes, the first one, <em>First Contact</em>, was distributed free as shareware but the remainder <em>The Pyramid</em>, <em>The Fortress</em>, and <em>The Face</em> had to be purchased from Apogee. Each contains twenty puzzle-filled levels, each of which is one screen large.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled but offers the player(s) a choice of action key settings.</p>

<p><em>Sensible Golf</em> is a 2D golf simulation.</p>
<p>Having been quite successful with their cute action soccer game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/80110/sensible-soccer/">Sensible Soccer</a>, Sensible Software decided that the concept of "No fuss, just fun" could be applied to other sports, too. They chose golf.</p>
<p>Sensible Golf is not an accurate simulation of golf, but an action adaptation of the sport streamlined for quick and easy gameplay. Consequently, complications such as wind and terrain heights are not featured, although the green has little arrows indicating the slopes. Apart from that, the player's only concerns are the water and sand hazards, and the distance to the hole. As a result, Sensible Golf is instead a practice in target shooting, rather than a golf game.</p>
<p>Striking involves only two action: Aiming the pointer in the desired direction, and pressing the action button three times. The game uses the well-known three-click-control, with which you set power and swerve of the strike. The computer automatically suggests a proper club, but the player may change it manually. A pop-up map helps one find their bearing. </p>
<p>The courses are fictional, composed from a pool of holes which often appear in multiple courses, sometimes with minor variations. Play modes include single 18-hole rounds, a complete season and a tournament. Up to 72 human players may participate in the latter.</p>

<p>Your old mentor Mordamir has disappeared - probably kidnapped. You're not too sure where he might be, but a dungeon is always a good place to look, so you seek out the nearest one and plunge into its depths. Beware: eight levels of traps and deadly enemies await.</p>
<p><em>The Immortal</em> is an isometric game with puzzle-solving and action combat. Progress is made by encountering a hazard, dying, solving the problem, encountering the next hazard. To solve a level, you have to know its traps and their patterns by heart. The puzzles range from simple avoidance of traps to the correct use of items; you collect objects in an inventory. Every now and then, the game offers a special challenge. For example, you've got to ride a magic carpet through a hallway full of fire traps, or ride a barrel on an underground river. </p>
<p>The dungeon isn't empty: some friendly characters may have valuable information or trade items, the nasty sort of guys will attack. Combat is fought man-to-man - on the main game map in the original versions; on a special screen in the console and PC ports. Your adversary indicates his next attack a few seconds before he executes it, so you've got time to react appropriately. You can dodge to the left or the right, as well as attack from these two directions. There is no save option in the game, but you may restart each level as often as you like. Levels can be skipped by entering passwords.</p>

<p>Daughter of the Serpent is a graphic adventure game with a point-and-click interface.</p>
<p>An exotic, ancient city bustling with life. A strange, unnatural creature. A murder. And you, on a business trip to Alexandria, Egypt, suddenly involved in the case of a mysterious cult that deals with strange forces. Take a piece of ancient Egyptian mythology, add a pinch of demonology a la Lovecraft, and mix with a decent dose of colonial middle-east romanticism -- those are the ingredients for the sinister adventure game Daughter of the Serpents.</p>
<p>Daughter of the Serpents would be a pretty common adventure game, if it wasn’t for one remarkable feature. Quite unusually for a pedigree adventure game, you have to design your character at the beginning of the game. You may chose a gender as well as one of six professions, ranging from traveller to private eye or occultist. Each category consists of four to five talents, in which you can then invest skill points. You may thus specialise your character in toxicology, let him learn the Arabian language, make him an excellent observer or an expert in necromancy. </p>
<p>The talents have no influence on the plot, but a marginal one on the dialogues; you will get slightly different conversations depending on your knowledge of certain subjects. Your choice of profession, however, opens three slightly different approaches to the mystery, culminating in three different endings. Although the basic course of events does always stay the same, a few scenes are exclusive to each branch. Also, you will be accompanied by either the Greek occultist Ariadne Elytis or the rational inspector Bimbashi Cameron. Check out the screenshots section for examples of different scenes.</p>

<p>This sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1479/midwinter/">Midwinter</a> takes place years after the events of the first game. The world has thawed and Midwinter has disappeared beneath the ocean. Its legacy, the Peaceful Atlantic Federation, is facing an invasion by the slave trading Saharan Empire. Between the two lie the Slave Isles, a chain of islands under the oppressive thumb of the Saharans.</p>
<p>You are a covert operative for the Atlantic Federation. Your mission is to conduct assassinations, enlist rebels and sabotage the Saharans operations in the Slave Isles. As you carry out these open-ended missions, the islands will rebel and aid your efforts when the Saharan invasion finally comes.</p>
<p><em>Flames of Freedom</em> uses the same engine as <em>Midwinter</em> for land, air, and sea travel (and combat) but now, you control only a single customizable character. A strategic map allows you to identify key islands for your cause and determine the mission objectives that will sway its population to your side. Then, it's up to you to head in and carry out the mission as you see fit (perhaps guns first, perhaps with a big bag of money, perhaps just relying on your charm).</p>
<p><em>Flames of Freedom</em> mixes first-person action with strategy, vehicle combat, and diplomacy.</p>

<p>A spiritual descendant of <a href="/search/?q=War+in+Middle+Earth">War in Middle Earth</a>, <em>Spirit of Excalibur</em> uses the same engine to tell the tale of what befell Camelot after the death of King Arthur. </p>
<p>You play the role of the regent who holds the throne while chaos spreads through Britain. The game is broken into a number of episodes, which carry the overall plot of trying to restore Arthur's kingdom to some semblance of what it once was. Early episodes involve gathering the Knights of the Round Table, who have broken their fellowship. Because of their general distrust and dislike of certain other members, many knights will only return if asked by certain people and/or are given the correct incentive. Ultimately, you will wage a war on the sons of Mordred, who vie for the same throne their father did and stop the machinations of Morgan LeFay.</p>
<p>The game is played on two different levels. The first is a real time map where groups move about from place to place. At any time (or when a group encounters another or a place of importance) you can switch to a 'scene' level, which is a side-view of the group currently highlighted. Here you can pick up, drop, and manipulate quest items.</p>

<p>In the far future wars are a thing of the past, disputes and conflicts between races are now settled on the "CyberRace", a futuristic everything-goes series of sled races.</p>
<p>The game puts you in the role of Shaw, the son of a terran CyberRace champion who was killed in a suspicious accident. As you enter the competition to try and avenge your father, a conflict of interests explodes around a misterious wormhole, and you are dragged to it by a terran technocrat that forces you to race for the terran cause by kidnnaping your girl.</p>
<p>The game consists of racing in several voxel-space created stages and gaining money while at the same time trying to get your girl back and uncover the plot behind the CyberRace. The races are played from a 1st person perspective, and features the designs of famed artist/designer Syd Mead.</p>

<p><em>World Wide Rally</em> is a first-person rally racing game. The player selects between a variety of rally car models, and races opponents in various real-world locations. The player must pay attention to terrain restrictions that would impede the driving.</p>

<p>This sequel to the original <a href="/search/?q=Destruction+Derby">Destruction Derby</a> offers more of the same no-holds-barred action and mayhem with new tracks and a lot of technical improvements and features not seen in the original, such as a pit stop feature that allows car repairs!</p>
<p>Gameplay is identical to its predecessor -- the objective consists of gaining points by winning races or "creatively" crashing opponents and climbing to the top of the rankings.</p>

<p>A severely ill man is on the operating table when a Daemon named Emily trapping you in your own subconscious. To escape you must find four orbs, which are trapped within a selection of esoteric mini-games set within the darkest Dali-influenced recesses of the mind.</p>
<p><em>Weird Dreams</em> is a third-person game with action and puzzle elements. The game contains bizarre levels and unorthodox activities, including feeding a wasp cotton candy, beating up hopping totem poles with fish from the sky, and an encounter with a baked chicken in a haunted house. The game comes with a "short novel" that explains the plot in detail and serves as copy protection.</p>

<p>You are a freedom figher, storming the giant tower of the dictator of your country. He has created robots with genetic parts to defend his tower. There are lots of levels split over three episodes. It is a platform game, with PC speaker sound effects and EGA graphics. You run about all the levels shooting robots, getting keys and getting money which can be used for "powerups" which are like spells that you could cast using the number keys.  An interesting feature the author put in was hybrid robots, or enemy robots mixed with parts of other enemies. For instance the legs of a knifeman and the torso of a cannon-robot.</p>

<p><em>Tubes</em> is a shareware color matching puzzle game. The main screen shows a series of overlapping transparent tubes climbing from the bottom and curving at the top towards the center. Colored balls, or elements as the game calls them, travel through these tubes to their exit holes.</p>
<p>The objective is to catch the falling spheres with a test tube, moving it sideways underneath the tubes exits with the mouse, keyboard or joystick. The test tube can hold up to five elements. The player has to press a button and drop the elements inside a beaker at the bottom, aligning them vertically, horizontally or diagonally by three or more of the same color. Every level has a number of drops allowed, and when the player fails to catch too many elements the game is over.</p>
<p>Besides the elements, special balls also appear randomly inside the tubes that help or hinder the player. The multicolored element acts as a wildcard, and can be matched with any color. The <strong>F</strong> element removes space inside the test tube. The <strong>M</strong> element fills the test tube with assorted balls. The <strong>C</strong> element creates a gray ball that can't be matched.</p>
<p>The game comes with two modes. In endurance mode, the goal is to make as many points as possible, by making matches until all the allowed drops are spent. In wave mode, each level (or "wave") has objectives, like making a specific type of match, that must be completed before finishing and moving to the next one.</p>

<p>In this game, you are in a galaxy wide war, in which you pilot a ship, and go through battles to try to capture enemy planets, convert neutral ones, and protect your allies.</p>

<p>In Tamper, you are a stock trader, and spend most of the game watching new companies come and go, and be taken over, as you buy stock in which ever you think would make the most money.  The trick is that for the right price, you can tamper with the way the stocks go, hence the name.</p>

<p>A graphical adventure set in Larry Niven's "Known Space" universe. The centerpiece of the Known Space universe is the Ringworld, an artificially created planet that is actually an immense band orbiting a distant star (<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Halo">Halo</a> borrows this idea for its setting). If you aren't familiar with Niven's series, go out and pick up any one of the dozens of Known Space books and you won't be far from having to track down all of them.</p>
<p>In Revenge of the Patriarch, the player must travel to the Ringworld to uncover information which could prevent the alien Kzinti from starting another war with humanity. It follows the standard point and click formula for adventure games.</p>

<p>At it's heart, Nyet 3 is a <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> clone. It does however add a whole lot of variation to that venerable classic. </p>
<p>The game is divided into 7 sets of 18 levels, and lets the player go through the levels in a set in any order. To beat a level the player usually has to make a given number of rows disappear, much like in any other Tetris clone. The difference is in the levels themselves. Some levels might have invisible blocks, others an indestructable snake that the player have to trap before theres a chance of making a row disappear.</p>
<p>For beating a level, the player receives money, the amount depending on how well they did during gameplay and the difficulty of the level. The money can be used to buy powerups, of which there is a great variety. Some powerups are permanent, such as the monitors previewing the next block. Other powerups are bound to the Function Keys on the keyboard, and can be activated at any time during gameplay. These range from level type specific powerups like the Fork which traps a snake, to general powerups like the Bomb, which destroys the top row of squares. To save the game the player need to buy a powerup as well.</p>

<p><em>Manic Karts</em> is the follow-up to Manic Media's hit game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3272/superkarts/">SuperKarts</a>. Different from all-new tracks, improved graphics &amp; sound and familiar gameplay of <em>SuperKarts</em>, probably the biggest offer <em>Manic Karts</em> has is the SVGA resolution along the choice of four classes of kart (you can race in 50cc up to 250).</p>

<p><em>Black Sect</em> is a point-and-click adventure game based on the 1990 French CPC title <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/142432/la-secte-noire/">La secte noire</a>. It shares the original premise of a sect stealing a book of spells, but it is now set in England in the Yorkshire Moors instead of a French village in the Dordogne. The game is not a remake as everything except for the basic premise is new and different from the original title. The player's character needs to get the book back using exploration and by solving puzzles. The entire control system using icons with the mouse is also new, as the original title used text input.</p>

<p>Yet another simulation of the yet to enter service F-22, probably the most advanced fighter of the world. As with most Novalogic games, however, the emphasis here is on action and graphics, rather than in simulating the real thing.</p>
<p>The game offers a standard series of campaigns as well as a quick mission mode and multiplayer support for deathmatch and cooperative games using a feature similar to the "spawn" feature found on WarCraft 2.</p>

<p>In <em>Star Fleet I: The War Begins</em>, the player is a cadet fresh out of Starfleet Academy and has been assigned to command the United Galactic Alliance Starship (U.G.A.S.) Republic, a training ship in the Antares III region. The United Galactic Alliance is currently at war with Krellan and Zaldron empires and it is the player's mission to protect the region.</p>
<p>The graphics of the PC version of game are represented by American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) character codes. Everything from the starship, the mainframe, to torpedoes are all in ASCII.</p>
<p><strong>Missions</strong>  </p>
<p>For the newly graduated cadet, missions (as explained in the mission briefing) usually consist of destroying a small number of enemy ships under a specified amount of time e.g. You must eliminate at least 24 enemy warships within 30 days. Higher ranks will demand more kills with less time requirements. When the target is reached, the player may enter a starbase and prompt to end the mission or continue and destroy more ships to reap a higher mission rating, until the mission time runs out.</p>
<p>After successfully completing a mission, the mission success is rated: number of enemies destroyed, captured, starbases rescued, etc. The player will then then be considered for commendation for a medal or even a promotion. </p>
<p><strong>The U.G.A.S.</strong>  </p>
<p>The entirety of the game is represented by a sci-fi representation of the starship's computer display. The main screen consists of commands, the star chart, the tactical display (which consists of among others a local map of the ships position as well as any entities in the area), and shield control. Other sections/information of the starship maybe accessed through the appropriate buttons on the bottom screen.</p>
<p>Navigation may be conducted automatically or manually. Standard navigation via the navigation computer is conducted by accessing the main computer and setting out a course. Higher levels may result in random events during navigation (such as ion storms, running into asteroids, or even enemy ships). </p>
<p>Each map is randomly generated and also uncharted. Each quadrant is represented by numbers, where each number refers to: stars, starbases and number of enemy ships. The starship is also equipped with long ranged sensors to view adjacent quadrants an well as short ranged sensors to view the current surroundings. For even further exploration, the starship also has probes to scan far-away quadrants. </p>
<p>Entities in a combat situation may consist of the following: the player's starship., enemy Krellan warship (max 5 per quadrant), enemy cloaked Zaldron warships (usually one per quadrant), and an allied starbase. Combat initiates when the player's starship enters a hostile quadrant (portrayed by a red number on the main map), usually patrolled by a minimum of 1 Krellan warship. Red Alert is automatically set (unless configured otherwise) resulting the rising of shields and direct attack by enemy warships. Enemy warships are either Krellan starships or the Zaldron cloaked warships, both capable of phaser weaponry. The Krellans use multiple ships to overpower the player, while the Zaldron use hit and run tactics while remaining cloaked (invisible on the both map screens). </p>
<p>Combat commences by eliminating all hostiles in the present quadrant (destroying them) or by capturing those ships (and optionally delivering them to a starbase). The ship's main weapons arsenal consists of a phasers, torpedoes, and mines. Torpedoes are reserved for direct destruction of enemy vessels. Phasers are usually reserved for the intent of disabling an enemy vessel for capturing purposes. Mines are used to damage enemy warships that may prove too maneuverable for phasers and torpedoes to hit.In some cases, a friendly starbase may come under attack while the player is patrolling the region. The player may opt to rescue the starbase before it is destroyed. </p>
<p>Capturing enemy vessels may only be conducted when the enemy warship is disabled (by phasers or other means). Space marines then must board the adjacent disabled warship and automatic combat occurs between the space marines and the enemy crew. If successful, the enemy ship will be captured as well as some power reserves and enemy prisoners. Be warned that enemy prisoners or enemy spies may board the player's ship and damage the ships systems (indicated by an intruder alert). The enemy ship(s) may then be towed to be transported to a starbase.</p>

<p><em>Extreme Rise of the Triad</em> is an official add-on level pack to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/61454/rise-of-the-triad/">Rise of the Triad</a>. The add-on features forty-two new levels, notable for their increased difficulty compared to those of the original game. Also included are several user-made level editors, a random level generator, and sound files.</p>

<p><em>Space Crusade</em> is a science fiction strategy game converted from the Games Workshop/Milton Bradley boardgame, in which you control a commander and four marines who are sent on different missions aboard hostile alien starships. Your commander starts off as a sergeant, but he can work his way through the ranks. The game allows three players, each commanding one marine chapter each. The alien team is <code>played</code> by the computer. </p>
<p>The game is a literal conversion of the board game in the same vein as Gremlin's earlier <a href="/search/?q=Hero+Quest">Hero Quest</a>. It can be best described as a turn-based board game in which the player must fulfill the primary and secondary objectives to complete the mission, which usually involves elimination of entire alien force on board or destruction of mothership etc. This game features unique 3D close-ups during the battle scenes, a feature which was later adopted by games like the <a href="/search/?q=X-Com">X-Com</a> series.</p>

<p><em>Nitemare-3D</em> is a horror-themed first-person shooter and a sequel to the adventure game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4962/hugo-iii-jungle-of-doom/">Hugo III: Jungle of Doom</a>. Hugo's girlfriend Penelope is kidnapped by the nefarious Dr. Hamerstein, who intends to conduct terrifying experiments on her. Hugo has to explore the Doctor's twisted mansion, travel through underground caverns, and eventually face the villain himself and rescue his sweetheart.</p>
<p>The gameplay mostly follows the conventions of <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a>, which the game also resembles visually. However, its gameplay is somewhat more slow-paced and includes heavier doses of puzzle-solving. There are four weapons in the game - plasma gun, magic wand, pistol and auto-repeat plasma gun; enemies may be vulnerable to a certain weapon and resistant against others. The levels are maze-like and contain secret areas. The first episode was released as shareware; two commercial episodes followed, for a total of thirty levels.</p>

<p><em>Super ZZT</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/393/zzt/">ZZT</a>. There are five large game boards included with different puzzles and storylines.</p>

<p>Based on Avalon Hill's board game of the same name, <em>1830: Railroads &amp; Robber Barons</em> is a railroad empire building game that is along the same lines (although a different style of gameplay) as the much more famous <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/70/sid-meiers-railroad-tycoon/">Railroad Tycoon</a>.</p>
<p>Capturing the very look and feel of the board game, all the way to the hexagonal playing field and track tokens, <em>1830</em> is a turn based game that emphasizes the successful running of a company and manipulating the stock market rather than managing a railroad. Tracks can be laid, cities connected, trains purchased, and schedules set, but the ultimate goal in the end is making money, even at the cost of your company; you'll wind up buying and selling a number of them during the course of the game anyway.</p>

<p>Rover, your favourite pet dog, has been dog-napped by evil robots, and it's up to you to save your pup before something terrible happens. Explore 30 levels of mind-bending puzzles to solve and deadly robots to destroy.</p>

<p>Aliens have mistaken your dog Rusty for Earth's leader and sent evil robots to kidnap him.  Now you must free him from a variety of doggie prisons in this puzzle game.  Dognapped consists of a series of rooms containing forcefields, traps, robots and obstacles which you move through with precisely timed steps and the clever use of objects.  You must carefully plan how to push crates and balls in front of robots to block their line of sight or make a bridge over water hazards.  Once you've reached your dog, you then have to lead him back to the exit without anything happening to either of you.</p>

<p>The third game in the Hardball baseball series.  This revision features 256 colour VGA graphics, and announcer Al Michaels provides running commentary while you play.</p>

<p>New features in this edition of the baseball simulation include the Home Run Derby and Pitching Practice. Multiple viewpoints and instant replays are included. 28 pitches are included, each with distinct effects. You can use real or fictitious teams, and even create your own right down to the logo and kit. Statistics such as batting average and RBIs are stored and can be printed out. Also, as in the previous game, announcer Al Michaels says things during the game.</p>

<p>The second in the series of adventure-puzzle games.  In this instalment, you only have two imps to control instead of three.</p>
<p>Someone has kidnapped the prince and it's up to you and two hilarious sidekicks, Winkle and Fingus, to rescue him. Winkle is a reckless jokester, while Fingus is careful and has a gift for solving puzzles. Luckily, they're blessed with extraordinary vitality. In other words, they never die. That'll sure come in handy when you're up against Wily Wizard's traps, maniacal monsters and twisted and perplexing puzzles.</p>

<p><em>Comanche 2</em> is the stand-alone release of the Comanche portion of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/552/werewolf-vs-comanche/">Werewolf vs. Comanche</a>. Fly a Comanche helicopter over a wide variety of terrain and blast various enemy vehicles and aircraft with your array of munitions. A wide variety of camera angles are offered for your flight experience, and the missions range from ultra-easy training to complex save-the-world scenarios.</p>

<p>Rotating falling blocks in a set way is the aim in this follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2121/welltris/">Welltris</a>, but the concept here is very different. The falling shapes represent parts of people's faces, which must be arranged and rotated to form complete human-looking faces, ideally matching that of a famous person or other face. You can use a paint package to draw a face to import, which each of the 60 faces has appropriate background music. There are 10 difficulty levels and an optional head-to-head mode.</p>

<p>Although the title may cause it to appear pornographic, <em>Romantic Encounters at the Dome</em> is actually more of a text-based adventure that journeys deep into human behavior studies. It takes place at an important social event, where you try to pick up members of the opposite sex and either get your desires quenched, or be rejected, depending on what they think of you by your social interactions. The game may feature explicit textual descriptions of sexual intercourse.</p>

<p>Scrabble: Deluxe Edition is the first Scrabble game to hit the computer.  Pick 7 tiles and form words for points! Play against a friend or the computer (with 9 levels of play).</p>

<p>Based on the 2nd Edition of <em>Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons</em> (AD&amp;D) <em>Spelljammer</em> rulebook, <em>Spelljammer: Pirates of Realmspace</em> leads the player into a fantasy world to a pilot a ship (spelljammer) that may travel into Realmspace and visit eight worlds of inner and outer planets for exploration and trade.</p>
<p>In this game, the player captains a spelljammer ship, consisting of several crew members and officers (which may be equipped with items) as well as the player's main character. Gameplay primarily consists of trading goods between one planet and another as well as completing quests available at each planet. </p>
<p>During the course of space travel (first person perspective), the player while travelling in wildspace, may encounter other spelljammer vessels. If the player determines the vessel is hostile, space combat may commence by attacking (or being attacked) by said vessel. Combat consists of two different areas:  </p>
<ul>
<li>Vessel-To-Vessel combat, where the player can battle other spelljammers with the ship's weapons. These weapons (depending on the spelljammer type) consists of ranged weapons (catapult, ballista); ramming, shearing attacks, and grappling the enemy vessel to board it.</li>
<li>Hand-to-Hand combat, where the player boards or is boarded by an enemy vessel after a successful grappling attempt (top-down perspective)</li>
</ul>
<p>In hand-to-hand combat, participants are divided into the ship's mates and the ship's crew. The player has complete control of the ship's mates, whereas the artificial intelligence (AI) takes control of the ship's crew. Victory is decided when all of the enemy mates and crew are destroyed.</p>
<p>Achieving victory over an enemy vessel will result in the possibility of the player changing ships, as there are various different spelljammer ships in the game. These spelljammer ships may later be repaired or upgraded with weapons/accessories in any planet port.</p>

<p><em>Suburban Commando</em> is a mix of space shooter, jump-and-run and beat-em-up.</p>
<p>If you're a US American, the mention of the name <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/261248/hulk-hogan/">Hulk Hogan</a> will most likely make some tears sparkle in your eyes, while your reminisce about the good old days when the Hulkster single-handedly beat up all those jerks in the WWF. If you know Hogan only from his movies, you'll have a different reason for crying. One of the films featuring Hulk was called <em>Suburban Commando</em> (1991). Alternative Software turned it into a game two years later, and decided to create a wild mix of space shooter, platform jumping and - of course - beat-em-up action.</p>
<p>Loosely following the storyline of the film, Hogan alias intergalactic hero Shep Ramsey travels through space, crash-lands on earth and beats up the bad guys. The first level is a R-Type-like horizontal space shooter; destroy formations of drones and collect weapon upgrades. After that, you'll enter three platform levels, in which you have to find nine items each. Avoid being shot and dispatch the enemies with kicks and jumps. After each mission, you’ll encounter the level boss, who you’re supposed to beat up in a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9465/street-fighter/">Street Fighter</a> clone.</p>
<p>Apart from a comic-style likeness of Hulk Hogan as the main hero (with a huge head and tiny body -- strange), the game has little reference to the movie. No other main characters appear. Fans of the film will especially mourn the complete absence of any mimics. If you’re curious for more information about the movie, check the trivia and links sections.</p>

<p>Steel Panthers is a wargame (turn-based strategy game) by <a href="/search/?q=Stategic+Simulations">Strategic Simulations, Inc</a> (SSI). The game is set in World War II, where the player fights battles by controling tanks, infantry, and other war marchines on a battlefield divided into hexgonal units (hexes). The game was designed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/22444/gary-grigsby/">Gary Grigsby</a>, who is considered by many as one of the preminent wargame designers. </p>
<p>Steel Panthers has spawned a whole <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2690/steel-panthers/">trilogy</a>, of which the last release was <a href="/search/?q=Steel+Panthers+3:+Brigade+Commands">Steel Panthers 3: Brigade Commands</a>. There are many types of games that can be played, including campaigns that span the war, stand alone historical battles, what-if scenarios, random battles, and play by email (PBEM) battles. However, there is also a scenario editor that lets you create your own battles, designation the type and number of units present, creating the landscape, and choosing the game parameters for the player. There are tens of countries to choose from, each with accurate represenation of their arms. In addition, there are different units for the US Army and the US Marine Corps. Information about each country's arms can be found in the Encyclopedia, in addition to a picture of the real thing. </p>

<p><em>Chasm: The Rift</em> is a 3D first-person shooter. As a Marine, the player has been sent inside a power plant to investigate the loss of power at the plant. They later discover that a group of monsters known as the Timestrikers are using the power to create ruptures in time that allow them to invade the Earth in three different time periods: present day, ancient Egypt, and medieval times. Timestrikers that have invaded the present day are also taking control of a nuclear plant in order to detonate a nuke that will destroy nearly all life on Earth.</p>
<p>The game starts in the present day, as the player goes inside the power plant and nuclear plant, battling strange-looking security guards and security systems that have gone haywire. They will then find the rifts that the Timestrikers are using to invade other time periods, eventually winding up at the Timestrikers' military base in the distant future.</p>
<p>The 2022 Windows release is not a remaster but built up completely from the ground, using reverse engineering and by-sight recreation, as the original source code is lost. In addition it includes a custom tailored DOSBox port of the original game. This release also incorporates the official add-on originally released as a patch on the developer's website. The add-on can be played both in the new version and the DOSBox version.</p>

<p><em>Air Bucks</em> is a business simulation game which tries to capture the ins and outs of the airline industry without bogging the player down with details. It starts in 1946 and the goal is to build up a successful airline with a small starting budget. There are many details in the game, e.g. the player can buy rights to airports, arrange seats on the planes to carry more or less first-class passengers, decide on the quality of in-flight food or entertainment, and more. </p>
<p>The game features "special events" similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/70/sid-meiers-railroad-tycoon/">Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon</a>, which require quick changes in the plane operations to accommodate them. Other important industry-specific activities include designing global routes and paying for landing rights, tinkering with plane layouts, and determining fares for each leg. All those decisions are made inside various menu screens. The competition consists of up to three human or AI-controlled opponents and the world map is randomly generated with every new game.</p>

<p>Detroit puts you in the year 1908, and you are the President of an upstart car company. You will build and design cutting-edge automobiles, take care of finances and promote your products with marketing campaigns. Vintage car lovers will really enjoy the game, as it includes many classic car designs, all of which you can modify to your heart's content. As time goes by, new technologies will become available, and the industry will evolve with faster and safer cars. Competition, of course, will become tougher as your competitors catch up to your technological advantages.
You must then think globally -- open new factories overseas, and think of how to segment your market with different car models that do not cannibalize each other's sales.</p>

<p>Take the role of a US Navy SEAL operative and embark in 3 missions involving terrorists, hostages, and the like. The plot is fairly superficial, since each mission is independent from the rest.</p>
<p>Each mission has several "portions" with different types of game mechanics, making the game almost a series of mini-games. Swimming and submarining are among your tasks.</p>
<p>The most predominant type of gameplay, however, consists of side-scrolling arcade action with a realistic basis, so you only have one life and there are no power ups available during missions.</p>

<p>Something's happening in these lands, and the only hope seems to be the moonstone. You, as a chosen knight from the druids, are about to find it and bring it back. The game can be played from 1 to 4 players at once, with no difference between solo and multiplayer as no matter how many players play, the story stays the same for everyone. However, if you choose to play with only one player/knight, the other three will be the computer rivals. Wandering through the map, you can visit enchanted places, towns where you can buy equipment or try your luck in gambling, but mostly visited places on the map will be cabins which represent the places where certain enemy beasts are. Each spot has about two or more beasts which after defeating them can be rewarding in a certain way, depending on the game's randomized placement.</p>
<p>Also, for example, if the place has three beasts and you kill two before you die, the next time you (or some other player) go back there, there'll be only one beast left to fight. It's also possible for two players to run into each other and, once defeating the other, the one who prevails can steal the other player's money and/or weapons. Thus, searching for the moonstone begins, but that's only half of the story. The rest unfolds once you find it.</p>

<p>You control a battle tank (the Rotor) which hovers in a 2D labyrinth. Gravity pulls heavily on the Rotor, making it fall towards the ground. As any contact with walls or enemies is deadly, your main task is to avoid that. You may rotate your tank freely and accelerate via an afterburner, thus manoeuvring through the corridors -- imagine a mix of Asteroids and Lunar Lander to get an idea of the physics.</p>
<p>Scattered throughout the 18 different fortresses are boxes. Shoot these open to find either a) Fuel: this will replenish your supply, which is drained by shooting and accelerating. b) Sun crystals: Collect all to finish the mission. c) Bombs. They will explode in 30 to 60 seconds, destroying your ship. You can avoid that by leaving the screen quickly, or by picking the bomb up; this earns you major credits, but your ship drops much faster due to increased weight. d) Pearls. Collecting these advances the upgrade counter by one to three steps; you may activate the current upgrade at any time, which will improve your rotation speed, engine strength, weapon, shield, etc. Boxes are emptied by carefully flying very, very close to them and activating a tractor field.</p>
<p>As if gravity and accurate flying weren't challenging enough, the game also confronts you with various enemies. All of these are immobile and fire in a straight line; the sheer mass of them makes avoiding the bullets a difficult task nevertheless. Apart from turrets, there are attractors and repulsors who'll smash you into walls, and force fields that need to be deactivated by finding and shooting a switch.</p>
<p>The tricky labyrinths together with the short supply of fuel, weight constraints, and clever upgrade system make Rotor more a game of tactics and accuracy than arcade action. Wild shooting and careless flying will deplete your fuel in no time; you'll have to progress carefully to discern traps in time.</p>

<p>Take the world's most advanced attack helicopter: the AH-64D Longbow, and annihilate your enemies! With the most authentic helicopter flight model up to date, detailed simulation of the milimeter wave radar on the Longbow, along with plenty of other weapon systems including your chain gun, FFAR rocket pods, Stinger missiles, anti-radar missiles, and more. Excellent terrain graphics. Command a wingman to assist you, and take on the Soviet-block equipment in multiple campaigns and historical missions including Panama and Desert Storm!

<p>While <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2690/steel-panthers/">Steel Panthers</a> covered armored warfare from 1939-1945, <em>Steel Panthers 2: Modern Battles</em> focuses on conflicts from 1950-2000. It is a turn-based strategy game, set on a map divided into hexagons. The basic game engine (graphics, user interface etc.) is nearly the same as in part one, with minor improvements. One important difference is the scale of the game: a bigger map, more units, which have more statistic values etc.</p>
<p>Included are six campaigns and a bunch of scenarios. An additional campaign generator is also included. The preset campaigns are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Germany 1980 (a fictional WW3: stop Soviet advance through Fulda Gap)</li>
<li>Desert Storm 1991</li>
<li>China-War 1997 (fictional: defend Taiwan against the invading (communist) Chinese Army)</li>
<li>Okinawa 1998 (fictional: a new US-Japanese war)</li>
<li>Golan Heights 1973</li>
<li>Korea 1950</li>

<p>It has been two years since the Stellar 7 war. Gir Draxon, the villain, has not been found. Nova 9 has just issued a distress call... Captain John Alex, takes the experimental Raven II tank to investigate the distress call... </p>
<p>Nova 9 is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/42/dynamix-inc/">Dynamix</a>'s <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Stellar+7">Stellar 7</a>, a futuristic "tank" shooter, and features similar gameplay. Played from a first person perspective in the cockpit of your tank, the goal is to destroy all of the various enemies found on nine planets. John Alex's tank, the Raven II, is equipped with various weaponry and a long range scanner to help in the mission. It is also equipped with a cloaking device for emergencies. Additional power-ups such as pickup energy and enhancement modules can be either beamed in or "salvaged" from the enemy wreckage.</p>

<p>Combo budget re-release of Electronic Arts' helicopter action game <a href="/search/?q=Desert+Strike">Desert Strike</a> and its follow-up <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/792/jungle-strike/">Jungle Strike</a>.</p>

<p><em>Quarantine II: Road Warrior</em> is the sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Quarantine">Quarantine</a> the driving game. 
As in the original, you still play the role of Drake Edgewater, a cab driver whose only goal is to escape the hell of futuristic Kemo City. Using his cab as the only way to survive, Drake accepts a series of special missions against OmniCorp. The money is used to repair and upgrade his vehicle with new weapons, as each ride into the city is risky business. Thus, from mission to mission through different parts of the town, he finally reaches the exit way to freedom.</p>

<p><em>Genewars</em> is a real-time strategy game similar to <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>. Gameplay consists of completing the given task on many planets. This involves doing different things, like eliminating the enemy or breeding mules.
The game has humans in it, but is closer to fantasy than a realistic setting. You can pick your team from humans and other races. Up to 4 players can compete over a network.</p>

<p>Inter-Dimensional Espionage. Inter-Dimensional... because you can "warp" into the body of a living thing in this or any other dimension. Espionage... because there are good guys and bad. And you're a good one... with years under your belt and a multitude of successful missions behind your dark glasses. The payoff? You get a vacation, and the ultimate vacation in this business is to become a goldfish.</p>
<p>Yes, a goldfish. Hey, it's cushy. You swim a little, eat a little, live in a castle. (So what if it's plastic.) Just as you were getting into vacation mode (umbrella drink and all), the tide turns. The most dangerous group of inter-dimensional anarchists surface - the Seven Deadly Fins. This septic septet will stop at nothing to destroy all forms of life as we know it. And wouldn't you know it, you are drafted to stop them!</p>

<p><em>The Dark Queen of Krynn</em> is the last part in the <em>Dragonlance</em> RPG series using the standard game engine found in the <em>Goldbox</em> series (with slight enhancements).</p>
<p>Evil, after failing two times before, finally tries to defeat Good and conquer the world of Krynn. This time, the Dark Queen herself will take command over the forces of Evil. Her aim is to enter Krynn, which would ultimately lead to the defeat of Good. The party's task is to prevent this.</p>
<p>Characters from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2219/death-knights-of-krynn/">Death Knights of Krynn</a> can be transferred.</p>

<p>More than a compilation, this collection brings three Magnetic Scrolls' hits, now enhanced to run under <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId=97/">Wonderland's</a> Magnetic Windows game environment:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Fish!</strong> - The Seven Deadly Fins, an inter-dimensional group of anarchists, are on the loose. 'THE PROJECT' has been sabotaged... can you, a mere goldfish, save the day? <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId=2755/">Fish!</a> is full of what you least expect, lacking all that's rational and devoid of all good sense.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Corruption</strong> - Outwardly you're on the fast track to success in the City. But what corruption lurks menacingly just beneath the glittering facade? <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId=1029/">Corruption</a> is a racy thriller where the only person you can trust is yourself.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>The Guild of Thieves</strong> - How sneaky can you get? The answer is 'VERY' to stand an earthly chance of qualifying for entry into the famed Guild of Thieves. In <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId=1323/">The Guild of Thieves</a>, treasure abounds but can you find and steal it all?</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Rayman Forever</em> contains the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2247/rayman/">Rayman</a> (1995), the standalone addon <a href="/search/?q=Rayman's+World">Rayman Designer</a> (1997) (level editor + 24 new levels) and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/127724/rayman-by-his-fans/">Rayman by his fans</a>, which is another 40 of the best fan-created levels as submitted to the Ubisoft <em>Rayman</em> website.</p>

<p>Create a party of eight characters from the usual D&amp;D classes, and lead these characters on their quest for adventure.</p>
<p>The initial character development is fairly comprehensive, but the user interface for the game itself is a 2D top-down perspective with symbolic representations of everything. The game map is a simple grid with icons in various squares to denote the location of your characters, monsters, trees, etc. Combat takes place on a "zoomed-in" map of the same variety, and is turn-based.</p>

<p><em>Steel Panthers III</em> is the third in the <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/steel-panthers-series">Steel Panthers series</a>, which chronicles the exploits of tanks from a top-down hex-based setting. As the full title suggests, the time frame of <em>Steel Panthers III</em> covers World War II, the post-war era as well as hypothetical conflicts set in (then) near future.</p>
<p>This time, SSI changed the scale slightly to allow larger battlefields and unit command structures, with improved leaders and command interface. Otherwise, this game isn't much changed from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2724/steel-panthers-ii-modern-battles/">Steel Panthers II: Modern Battles</a>.</p>

<p>The <a href="/search/?q=Gary+Grigsby's+Pacific+War">classic 1992 wargame</a> has been completely revamped with new artwork, new units, new everything! Every single unit, every single plane, every single ship, gun, tank, etc. are accounted for in this game!</p>
<p>Play against the computer or watch computer play both sides. Do hotseat multiplayer, or conduct play by e-mail (PBEM). The choice is yours. A full "recorder" records your moves and computer moves turn-by-turn for later analysis. Full database editor is included. </p>
<p>Best of all, it is FREE! Download it from the <a href="/search/?q=Matrix+Games">Matrix Games</a> website!</p>

<p>The Pure Wargame is a quintessential turn-based wargame. The first one in a proposed series (and the only one released), it involves eight different airborne operations centering on tactical level operations of airborne warfare, from the scattered landings at Crete to the ill-fated bridges of Arnhem.</p>

<p>In the far future, humans no longer needed war. So when an alien threat approaches Earth, a test must be created for the prospective commanders... A timegate has been created into 4 past periods, where you must test your strategic skills, and when you pass all four tests, take your forces against the alien threat... The four periods are 2025, WW2, Roman Empire, and prehistoric. The turn-based movements are hex-based. You move the unit stacks. When two opposing stacks meet, you drop into tactical combat mode, where the individual units in the stack maneuver on the smaller tactical map.</p>

<p>One of the few political sims available, take over the Kremlin as one of the three Russian leaders (Ligachov, Yeltsin, or Gorbachov), determine your foreign and domestic policies, and react to the crises that happens (like the Chernobyl crisis). Keep yourself in office by keeping both the Nationalists and the Reformists in line. Can you do better than Gorbachov himself?</p>

<p><em>Theatre of War</em> is similar to the classic game of chess, but in real time with projectiles. There are 3 gameplay modes: Medieval, Great War and Contemporary. Medieval has things like swordsmen and archers, Great War has a setting similar to World War 2, and Contemporary is air combat.</p>
<p>All the modes play pretty much the same except you get different units in all the modes. To win you have to destroy your opposing King/General/Control Tower.</p>
<p>Each unit has a health and power bar. When you move or use a special attack the power goes down then the King/General/Control Tower must come to re-power them. This puts your main piece in danger. When the health bar is depleted the unit dies.</p>
<p>2 players can go head-to-head in real time over a serial cable, or turn-based on the same computer.</p>

<p><em>Blue Ice</em> is a puzzle adventure that was released only in a few European countries, and then quickly disappeared from the market. </p>
<p>The game is best described as a surrealistic one, with a semi-standard plot. The player is a young prince who must prove himself worthy of a throne left for him by the belated king.</p>

<p><em>Reach for the Skies</em> is a combat flight sim focused on WWII's famous "Battle of Britain", splitting the battle into four stages and giving you the option to take part for either the Royal Air Force or the German Luftwaffe. As well as piloting a plane, you can also take on Controller duties, of planning which planes to deploy where on each day, trying to minimise losses. </p>
<p>Eight planes are simulated, from Hurricanes and Spitfires to Ju88s and BF110s, each with their own cockpit displays and characteristics. When playing as the Germans, protecting the fragile and slow Ju88 bombers is crucial. There is a practice mode with indestructible planes, realism levels can be adjusted, and time can be accelerated while an enemy plane is not in sight.</p>

<p>The original Kick Off was expanded on in many ways for this sequel. The game now features full tournament modes (although the players on the teams are fictitious) and four different pitches (including an implementation of plastic pitches, whose uneven bounce cause controversy when several British clubs tried them in the 1980s).</p>
<p>Viewed top-down, the controls involve trapping the ball under your foot, giving you time to prepare passes. Running with the ball is tricky at first, as it doesn't stick to your foot the way it did in contemporary football games. Complex moves such as overhead kicks, back-heels and long-range through-ball passes can be completed with practice.</p>

<p>On The Ball is a soccer manager simulation that differentiates itself from the others by its novel emphasis on the psychological aspects of the game.
 The game gives you, as team manager, full control over not just the strategies but even on what kind of "pep talk" you can give during half-time and PR moves to enhance public perception. Choose the host country, and lead your team from Qualification to World Cup in World Cup Edition and lead your English team to win the championship in League Edition. One of the unique options of the game is possibility to play up to 4 players in turns on one machine.</p>

<p>Magnetic Scrolls' last adventure before the introduction of their 'Magnetic Windows' format, Myth is classic interactive fiction.</p>
<p>Myth is set in Ancient Greece, place of myth and legend. Hence the title. You are are Poseidon, the Sea God. You have to journey to the Underworld to get the Dark Helment of Hades.</p>
<p>Its basically a tiny treasure hunt game where you get to play Poker with Charon and Death.</p>
<p>It is a very short game with a cunning puzzle or two.</p>

<p>One of the more original "business" games made, <em>DinoPark Tycoon</em> is both a strategy and educational game. Build a theme park showing off various types of dinosaurs.</p>
<p>You are in charge, and have to do many things, including:* borrowing money</p>
<ul>
<li>buying and selling dinosaurs</li>
<li>buying fences to keep them in, including electric fences for extra security</li>
<li>hiring staff, such as maintenance, cooks, tour guides, vets</li>
<li>building and expanding your park to include things such as washrooms, concession stands, and parking lots</li>
<li>setting admission fees</li>
<li>advertising your park</li>
</ul>
<p>To aid you in making decisions, the game includes these plus more features:* dinosaur fact guide</p>
<ul>
<li>daily records</li>
<li>quarterly financial reports</li>
<li>calender</li>
</ul>
<p>There are many more features, such as the ability to buy seeds so you can grow your own plant life for the herbivores. If you want to take a break from the business part, you can watch your park and see people walking through the park and other things.</p>

<p>Kentris is a Freeware <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> clone made by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Build">build</a> engine creator Ken Silverman. As usual for a Tetris game, you rotate and move falling blocks of various shapes so as to arrange them into complete lines without gaps. A few amusing sound effects are added by Silverman.</p>

<p>Command the Los Angeles nuclear powered attack submarine in missions around the world. Complete the missions objectives and preserve your command, or rest forever in Davy Jones' Locker. The entire arsenal of the 688i sub is at your command, from missiles to torpedoes, sonars to radars. You're up against mines, ships, subs, and more.</p>

<p>Airline Transport Pilot is an advanced simulator from subLOGIC, that allows you to fly airliners, such as Boeing 737, 747, 767 or Airbus A320. The graphics engine was improved, with two dozen different airports across the entire continental US, some buildings in major cities, and radio beacons all across the country. And for the first time in flight sim history, Air Traffic Control. The AI ATC will actually give you directions!</p>

<p>The year is 2050. The ocean is the next frontier, and war inevitably reached there. As an independent mercenary working for a corporate conglomerate, the player has to pilot the latest fighter subs to protect the corporate interests, so they can get rewarded with cold hard cash. With 5 different theaters of operations (of varying difficulty) and an interesting mix of aerial and submarine tactics, this game can be described as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9E%E3%83%B3%E3%83%80%E3%83%BC">Strike Commander</a> under the sea, without the narrative.</p>

<p>You are Commander William T. Riker of the Federation Starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D). When the allied Aquila station comes under attack by unknown aliens, it's up to you and the crew of the Enterprise to solve the mystery, by exploring a historic ruined civilization, navigating your way through space, consulting the ship's experts (real Star Trek actors in digitized form), conversing with various aliens, and beaming down to various planets. The game's interface features no typing, due to context-sensitive icons and buttons.</p>

<p><em>Mad TV</em> sets you in the role of Archie (though that can be fixed...), an average guy watching some television late at night, when you see a woman you absolutely must meet. The next day, as you wander around the television station looking for her, you run into the boss of Mad TV. Having just fired his executive producer, he hires you. (You're not limited to Mad TV, however; you can also hire yourself in one of the competing stations, Fun TV or Sun TV.)</p>
<p>Your objective in this game is to push your ratings to the top by buying and selling movies and features, choosing the news, and even producing your own shows. You must also earn money by putting in commercials. Be careful, if you don't show commercials by their due date, you'll end up owing, instead of earning. And all this while trying to impress the woman you saw on TV.</p>

<p>This is the pendant to LucasArts' <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2477/lucasarts-classic-adventures/">Classic Adventures</a> collection. The collection includes three well known WWII flight simulators:</p>

<p>UR95 is your average football game featuring both single plays against the computer or a friend, and full-fledged seasons, including playoffs and Super Bowls.</p>
<p>The main attraction to the game however is a "Construction Set" option which allows you to create everything for your own team, to your playbook and tournaments. You can even do your own team's logo and import/export your creations to trade with your friends.</p>

<p>A human astronaut is sent by the OESI (the Organization of Earth's Special Intelligence) on an exploration mission, but their ship gets stranded in the orbit shortly following the launch, due to a malfunctioning engine. The protagonist is rescued by Granger Tinker Brin O'Keef, a member of the galactic Alliance, which fights a highly advanced mechanized race known as the Korok set to destroy all life in the galaxy. The protagonist then decides to join the Alliance and help them in their battle against the Korok.</p>
<p><em>Nomad</em> is a space exploration, trading, and combat game. Its basic gameplay mechanics revolve around trading with various alien races (based on bartering rather than currency), as well as defending the ship against hostile crafts in action-oriented space combat. Compared to other space simulations, the game is more story-driven, featuring scripted conversations with characters and information-gathering. The game world includes several hundreds of planets and eleven alien races. The player-controlled ship can be customized with weapons (such as missiles), loaders, shield generators, engines, scanners, and jamming devices.</p>

<p>In the city of Waterdeep, people are inexplicably disappearing.  In this game, you are asked to descend into Undermountain to determine where they went.  You'll explore an underground labyrinth in this Forgotten Realms (AD&amp;D) game built with the Descent engine.  Your goal is to find the eight pieces of an amulet used to control the legendary Flame Sword of Lolth.  With the power of this sword, an infinite army will be at your command, and Waterdeep will be saved.</p>

<p>It is said that there is a mysterious labyrinth harboring great secrets that might fulfill the wishes of those who discover them. Two countries respectively ruled by Queen Xina and King Bodd have been competing over the right to explore the labyrinth. However, strange events started happening one after the other: the guardian of the labyrinth died, his daughter disappeared, and King Bodd apparently fell under some sort of a curse. A goblin reporter named Blount get caught in the midst of these events as he attempts to interview the queen and the king. As if that weren't enough, Blount also gets bitten by a werewolf and falls in love, and must find a way to deal with both predicaments.</p>
<p><em>Goblins Quest</em> is the third entry in the Gobliiins series. Like its predecessors, it is a puzzle game with adventure elements; the emphasis is on solving complex tasks confined to smaller areas rather than on exploration. Most levels occupy more than one screen and allow limited navigation between different areas. As the reduction of the title to a single "i" implies, this installment only features one controllable goblin. However, at various points of the game Blount will require assistance from other player-controlled characters such as Chump the parrot, Ooya the magician, and Fulbert the snake. In addition, Blount's own spontaneous transformation into a werewolf may affect the solution of some puzzles. The hero will also undergo a few other mutations and drastically change his size during the course of the game.</p>

<p>In the future, resources became increasingly scarce, leading to continuous wars between various countries on Earth. The surface of the planet became so polluted that it was impossible for humanity to live on it any more. Nuclear explosions covered the outside world, and humans fled into the depths of the ocean. Soon, the continents were flooded, and nuclear winter imprisoned the Earth. However, humans continued to live in the stations on the ocean's bottom, in a new world without sunlight - a world called Aqua.</p>
<p>By the middle of the 27th century, Aqua has been divided into the democratic Atlantic Federation, the oligarchy of the Arabic Clans Union, and the monarchist Russo-Japanese Shogunate. A mercenary named Emerald "Deadeye" Flint is hired by a man called El Topo to escort a sulfur-transporting cargo ship, and gets kidnapped by a group of Shogunate mercenaries in the process. For unknown reasons, their female leader Hong Long helps Flint escape. As Flint begins to undertake missions to repay his debt to El Topo, he becomes involved in a political struggle, unable to distinguish friend from foe.</p>
<p><em>Archimedean Dynasty</em> is a submarine simulation with action elements, and a prequel to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/1814/aquanox-series/">Aquanox</a> series. Controlling Flint, the player completes primary and secondary missions to advance the story and earn money, which can be used to upgrade Flint's vessels. Primary weapons, torpedoes, turret command software, generators, hull plating, noise reduction technology, and other devices can be purchased and installed on the boat. The player then begins a journey in the submarine, viewing the 3D environments from a first-person perspective. Deep sea currents and particularities of the terrain must be observed, and enemies dealt with by using the available weapons on board.</p>

<p><em>Curses</em> is a seemingly simple quest to find a street map of Paris leads you into odd corners of an old mansion, your imagination, and ultimately into the ancient past.</p>

<p>As an ACME Detective Agency greenhorn in the pursuit of Carmen Sandiego, you employ your Chronoskimmer 450SL to travel through time in the search of the next clue that eventually results in the recovery of the stolen item, apprehension of the thief, and the eventual capture of Carmen herself.</p>
<p>Not much new in terms of the basic premise, all trivia questions relate to American History...obviously.  The graphics are greatly improved over previous Carmen Sandiego games.</p>

<p><em>WWII: Battles of the South Pacific</em> is a turn-based strategy game that allows the player to command the armies that participated in the titular historical battle. It is possible to play on either the Japanese or US sides, with hundreds of specifically modeled ships and planes. Each mission is recreated in historical detail, though there are also alternate "What If" situations among the scenarios. Port attacks and amphibious warfare are key gameplay elements. Scenario playing times range from two to more than a hundred hours each. Modem play is included in the game.</p>

<p>It is August 1991, the USSR has only a few days left before its tremendous collapse and KGB officer Maksim Rukov has been moved, without explanation, to the newly formed Department P which investigates KGB corruption and roots out possible double-agents and traitors.</p>
<p>The game's interface and engine is based heavily on <a href="/search/?q=Cryo">Cryo's</a> previous game, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/380/dune/">Dune</a>, using the same point-and-click system, and a pseudo first-person perspective. The game also allowed players to rewind to the beginning of chapters to correct mistakes they had made.</p>
<p>KGB was later re-released in an "enhanced" CD-ROM version featuring new video sections of actor <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/139112/donald-sutherland/">Donald Sutherland</a> as Rukov's father, giving hints and clues whenever needed. The game was also re-titled <em>Conspiracy</em> for this re-release.</p>

<p><em>No Greater Glory</em> puts you in the shoes of <a href="/search/?q=Abraham+Lincoln">Abraham Lincoln</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/528254/jefferson-davis/">Jefferson Davis</a> during the American Civil War. You make the great strategic, political, and economic decisions that will determine the fate of the American people for centuries to come. You will lead the government, mobilize the armies, pick the generals, and guide their movements. The epic struggle will ebb and flow - from Northern Virginia to Southern Louisiana, from St. Louis to Jacksonville, Florida. In the end, victory will come because of your strategic skills, your economic management, and your political acumen. <em>No Greater Glory</em> is an all-embracing simulation of national leadership during one of America's greatest crisis.</p>

<p><em>SU-27</em> is a deep, challenging and extremely accurate sim starring one of Russia's premiere fighters in a variety of missions set in Crimea (just below Ukraine). Disregarding graphics and presentation, the game puts the emphasis on a very solid flying model and the possibility to create your own missions or edit the existing ones using a simple yet powerful scenario creator.</p>

<p>Take the most powerful NATO tank, the M-1 Abrams, in 8 difficult missions against the Warsaw Pact forces. The four tank stations and the other aspects of the tank are quite nicely simulated, with different types of cannon rounds, coax machine guns, and all that. There's also the independent turret and track rotation commands. </p>

<p>Take command of United Alliance of Planets, the Klargon Empire, the Reman Star Empire, the Imperial Pirates, or the Freemen planets in the game of tactical starship combat. Engage other starships and even starbases and outposts with phasers, photon torpedoes, disruptors, drones, and plasma torpedoes. Freeman planets have defense fighters to defend against pirates.</p>

<p>This compilation from Sierra contains four games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1255/rama/">Rama</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1410/birthright-the-gorgons-alliance/">Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance</a></li>

<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1609/outpost-2-divided-destiny/">Outpost 2: Divided Destiny</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Only <em>Rama</em> runs in both DOS and Windows.</p>

<p>A game based on the hit movie Jurassic Park.</p>
<p>The game starts just after the T-Rex pushes the visitor's van into it's pit. You play the role of Dr. Alan Grant, so you have to find Tim and Lex, take them to the Visitor's center and get everybody out of the island. But this time it won't be half as easy as it was on the movie.</p>
<p>The game is split in two missions, played in two different ways. The first mission is to take Tim and Lex back to their grandfather and is (almost exclusively) played from a top-down perspective. The second mission involves getting the power back on line and returning alive, so everybody can leave the island and is played like a FPS (First Person Shooter).</p>

<p>Set around 200BC to 200AD, Cohort II give you the opportunity to set up battles between Roman armies of varying size and type, between warring races of barbarians, or to pit a Roman army and barbarian horde against each other.  Over two dozen scenarios are provided (with the separate Scenario Cards) for those wishing to "draw their swords" immediately into a challenging battle.  Your computer opponent has a variety of different tactics at its disposal, and will vary them depending on how the battle progresses.  So even if you play the same scenario again and again, it won't be the same game twice.</p>

<p><em>Edward Grabowski's The Blue and the Gray</em> gives a chance to fight the American Civil War. Players control either the Federal (blue) or Confederate (gray) army, starting in July 1861. They have four years to defeat the other side by capturing the opposition's cities and winning military conflicts. Play takes place at two levels: first, divisions are moved across a map of America in a turn-based game at the campaign level; then when two forces meet, a Micro Miniatures battle takes place with the result having its effect on the campaign level. </p>
<p>This game gives players the chance to rewrite history, by choosing the course that the war will take. The computer uses historical records to determine the recruitment of forces and availability of weapons over time, so that both sides have approximately the same "raw material" that they did in the real war. Victory highly depends on the efficient use of these resources.</p>

<p>In Robin Hood, you must perform many heroic deeds to change the public impression of you from "villain" to "hero." The ultimate aim is to retake your castle, which is captured in the intro sequence. This involves bringing together your band of merry men and killing the Sheriff and his guards. There are seven extra items you can find in the game, which aren't essential but make the game a lot easier. The whole interface is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/613/populous/">Populous</a>: you don't direct Robin directly but with icons placed around the screen.</p>
<p>The AI citizens of Sherwood go about their lives as normal, so it's another game that you can spend just watching and wandering through rather than trying to complete.</p>

<p>From Croatia came this overhead view football game resembling <a href="/search/?q=Sensible">Sensible Soccer</a>. The standard selection of competitions are on offer, with a full range of club and national competitions.</p>
<p>Far more moves are possible in this one though, including overhead kicks, backheelers, riding tackles and even some impressive overhead kicks, all of which need practice to be perfected. Passing works in a similar way to Sensible, but requiring a longer tap, and giving more versatility in where the pass is placed. Extra details such as an on-screen referee and a zoom feature on replays are included. Kits can be edited in more detail than most games of the time as well.</p>

<p>You, as in all other <a href="/search/?q=Lemmings">Lemmings</a> games, are responsible for leading hordes of lemmings to safety through hazardous environments. However, this installment goes just that little bit further by introducing the lemmings to 80 new 3-dimensional levels!</p>

<p>A crow is chasing a worm named Jim, while in outer space Psy-Crow is chasing a renegade ship. The ship's captain has stolen an ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit and Queen Slug-for-a-Butt has ordered Psy-Crow to get it, since it can make her more beautiful than Princess-What's-Her-Name. Psy-Crow blasts the captain and the suit falls to Planet Earth.</p>
<p>Back on Earth, Jim wonders if he is finally safe when an ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit lands on him. Luckily Jim rests in the neck ring of the suit. The space particles then begin interacting with Jim, causing a light-speed evolution. Jim soon realizes he is in control of the suit.</p>
<p>Jim overhears the Queen's plans for the suit and decides to meet this Princess...</p>
<p><em>Earthworm Jim</em> is a 2D side-scrolling platformer with action elements where the player takes control of Jim, a worm wearing a spacesuit. Jim can shoot enemies with his gun or use his body (the spacesuit's "head") in a variety of ways to overcome obstacles, such as whipping it at enemies, grappling hooks to swing from them, or making it spin very fast like a rotor to hover for a short time.</p>
<p>While most of the game is made of standard platforming levels with a boss waiting at the end, some of the levels introduce different conditions than just reaching the end to complete them, like escorting a computer-controlled character and making sure they don't get hurt. Platforming levels are interspersed with some variations in gameplay as well, such as several space racing sequences or a bungie-jumping competition.</p>

<p>Badh the queen has imposed a terrible vengeance on the land by kidnapping the fairies. To restore things their rightful way, you must rescue them.</p>
<p>As you progress through the levels of platform-adventure action, you will come across fairies which are rescued by touching them. Enemies include Venus Fly Traps, localized acid rain showers and dragons, which can be avoided or shot in the bonus shoot 'em up sections. You will need help to reach some levels; this comes from Mael Dvin the Eagle. After each level there's a bonus game in which tears must be collected for points.</p>

<p>The Dalai Llama has organised a martial arts contest for animals of all species to prove their skills, and you are competing in it. There are a wide variety of furry creatures to take on, and finally the Dalai Llama himself. </p>
<p><em>Brutal: Paws of Fury</em> is a one-on-one fighting game across a variety of levels, with mostly outdoor terrain. You can choose of the many characters. Throughout the game, your character travels across Dalai Llama's island, fighting a series of duels before getting to the final showdown. </p>
<p>During a duel, you can punch and kick your opponent, try to use special attacks on him/her, or use a "taunt" that restores a bit of your health. Each battle lasts a number of rounds (how many - that is determined in the options menu); once one combatant has won that number of times during the battle, he wins. If the computer-controlled player won, it's game over (but you can still use a continue to start the fight anew); if you won, you move on to the next opponent. Once you have defeated them, you can watch an ending animation, different depending on the character you have chosen. </p>
<p>Instead of beginning a whole new game, you can fight a single duel, choosing the opponent and terrain. You can choose to fight either a computer-controlled opponent or another human player. </p>
<p>The visuals lean towards cutesiness, which makes a change from the gore of <a href="/search/?q=Mortal+Kombat">Mortal Kombat</a> and the metal of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1533/rise-of-the-robots/">Rise of the Robots</a>.</p>
<p>In the console versions, you start the game without special moves, but get a new one after each successful best-of-three bout. The computer versions drop this feature, though.</p>

<p>A hi-res 3-D Tetris variant from Sweden. Uses a mandelbrot fractal as the background picture.</p>

<p>You play Rick Dangerous, an <a href="/search/?q=Indiana+Jones">Indiana Jones</a> type who's on a quest to find the lost Coolu Amazon tribe. However, his plane crashes in the middle of a bunch of crazed Coolus. Hopefully, he's up to the challenge of escaping. If he is, he will find himself in the pyramid of Egypt with no easy way past leaders and their minions, and then engulfed in a web of traps in a Nazi base.</p>
<p><em>Rick Dangerous</em> is a platform game across over 100 screens, in which Rick has his gun in one hand, and dynamite sticks in another. You must take a methodical approach to clearing each screen, as there are traps in place which will need memorizing and preempting where possible. Use the dynamite wisely, for enemies you can't get into the purely-horizontal range of your gun.</p>

<p><em>Scorcher</em> is a futuristic racing game by Scavenger. In dark post-war-looking decors, you race against a couple of opponents driving in a spherical racer. You can pick up special triangles to gain speed powerups.</p>
<p>The graphics support resolutions up to 640x480.</p>

<p>A distress signal was sent from the Aragon mining colony on a planet called Thermadax, taking five years to arrive to the Earth. A cybernetically enhanced fighter protected by an exoskeleton with mounted weaponry is sent to deal with the situation. A few of the colonists are still alive; the rest have mutated horribly, unable to resist the invasion of robotic enemies. The lone hero is the only one who can put an end to this dreadful situation.</p>
<p><em>Wrath of Earth</em> is a first-person shooter that incorporates traditional action-oriented mechanics with tactical decisions and interaction with the environment. The protagonist is often underpowered, and running for cover to gain advantage over the foes is sometimes the only way to survive. The player character's exoskeleton can recharge its power and repair itself using energy from a light source, effectively healing the protagonist. Stepping out of the darkness to recharge becomes therefore another tactical alternative. </p>
<p>The futuristic weapons include plasma cannons, warhead launchers, and others; some of them use the exoskeleton's power, while others require ammunition. Beside using these weapons to advance in the game, the player also must interact with the environment, collecting items and completing other tasks to bypass security. It is also possible to interact with the human survivors, who can provide weapons, energy packs, and important information. </p>
<p>Ambient temperature and radioactivity are present in the game, affecting the protagonist's movement and the effectiveness of his weapons. Damaging the exoskeleton's shields will not only make the protagonist more vulnerable, but also decrease his ability to aim and the rate of weapon fire. The exoskeleton can also be activated in different modes: in search mode, it displays a small map of the area, a compass, and a radar screen that indicates the presence of enemies. The attack mode is reserved for combat, while the inventory mode allows the player to access items such as mines, keycards, etc.</p>

<p><em>Sensible World of Soccer</em> is an enhanced version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/438/sensible-soccer-european-champions/">Sensible Soccer</a>. Virtually every important soccer league in the world is included in this game, with some countries not only having premier / first division, but 2nd, 3rd, and more divisions. All important international competitions are also included (club- and national-team based). The game has a career mode, where you may play up to 20 seasons as player manager or manager only. During a career as a coach you're not tied to one club / national team, meaning if you're good enough one (or more) big clubs make offers to you to coach their team.</p>
<p>All teams featured in this game have real players (names, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) from the 1994/1995 season. The management part of the game allows you to buy any of these players (which number 24,000 in total) if you have enough money and a free slot in your team. Besides the player manger career, you may play friendly matches, single season of any competition, and custom competitions, which can be made from scratch or based on a real one. Teams participating in these competitions can be chosen from any country. All the teams may be played by human player or computer.</p>
<p>The DOS version is based on Amiga version 1.1 with the data of season 1995/1996. 1.1 adds the ability to switch between player-manager and manager-only status before each match of a career and improved on-pitch skills enhanced for the player teams. Also the athlethes' statistics improve by consistent goal-scoring.</p>

<p><em>Blake Stone: Planet Strike!</em> is the commercial sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/786/blake-stone-aliens-of-gold/">Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold</a>.</p>
<p>An evolution rather than a revolution, <em>Planet Strike!</em> doesn't dramatically change things and features everything from the original game except the elevator. In the place of the elevator, the player must now collect a bomb on every map and bring it to a security cube; the bomb will destroy the cube allowing the player to use the exit.</p>
<p>It features 24 new levels, played in a single episode in a linear fashion (despite a between level map trying to convince you otherwise), a new weapon, the Plasma Discharger (which functions as the game's ultimate weapon), and several new bad guys and bosses.</p>
<p>Though the "new bad guys" comment is a little misleading as only one of them is actually all new; the others are the boss aliens from Aliens of Gold (with their stats reduced to non-boss level) or simply slightly edited and re-coloured bad guys from the previous game.</p>

<p>As the game begins, you are a proud new tank pilot for the Nataka Corporation's Imperial Armored Cavalry. A Nataka installation is suddenly attacked by forces from Network 53, a branch of the Argus Industrial Corporation and a long-standing ally. No explanation is given and a full-scale war erupts. All lines of communication are severed and the highest management of the Argus Industrial companies disappear. Negotiation is impossible.</p>
<p>A fast, fluid first-person shooter with MechWarrior-style ability to equip your RPV to suit different missions instead of relying on weapons found on your path.</p>

<p>This football simulation focuses on international football, allowing you to play a tournament or single friendly matches. Up to 8 human players can be involved in the tournament. Options include three skill levels, variable match lengths and a choice of sound or music (or both on some versions).</p>
<p>The match is viewed from the side, although it switches to a 3D view when the ball is close to the goal. The ball roughly sticks to the player's foot. Set pieces are controlled by moving an aiming cross-hair.</p>

<p>You have 8 hours to prevent Elvin, a psychotic genius, from destroying the world in this sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Impossible+Mission">Impossible Mission</a>. Enter Elvin's tower fortress, avoid his robots, assemble security combinations for each tower, recover musical sequences and tie them together into a full melody to reach Elvin's central control room.</p>

<p><em>Screamer Rally</em> is a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/375/screamer-2/">Screamer 2</a>. Like its predecessor, it is a rally-style arcade racing game. The player can choose among four different rally cars (two front tractions and two 4x4), each with different parameters such as acceleration, braking, and weight. Handling, tire type and pressure, front and rear suspensions, and brakes can be customized in a garage. The game contains seven tracks located in different countries (such as China, Canada, Italy, etc.), pitting the player against five opponents. The tracks may contain obstacles and hazards such as holes on the roads, bumps, etc. The game also offers 3D acceleration support.</p>

<p>This game lets you play two-on-two arcade basketball with players from all the NBA teams. Gameplay is fast and action-packed, with few rules, no fouls, and deliberately unrealistic jamming. Players are rated on eight ability categories, from steals and blocks, to dunks and 3-pointers.</p>
<p>Up to four human players can take part, each always controlling a single player for their team, and AI for missing players. This allows for four players to face each other in teams of two, or for two players to team up against a third player with a CPU team-mate.</p>
<p>The <em>Tournament Edition</em> ups each team's roster to three players, and allows for substitutions between quarters. Shoving players now results in injuries, which lower a player's stats; encouraging you to sub them out and let them recover. Aside from the usual secret characters and cheat modes, the T.E. also includes four new additions you can individually enable from the special options menu:
* "Hot Spots" are randomized zones on the court that reward extra points (up to a 9-point shot!) for making a basket while standing within them.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Powerup icons appear randomly, and convey temporary arcade-like benefits when picked up. Some examples are instant "on-fire," enhanced 3-point accuracy, monster dunks from anywhere on the court, or a bomb that knocks all other players to the ground.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>"Juice Mode" increases the speed of the game up to 4x.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>"Tournament Mode" disables all other modes, special characters, and cheats, and challenges you to defeat all the NBA teams to unlock extra players (2 extra players for almost every team). Winning Tournament Mode also unlocks a higher CPU difficulty level.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Carrier Strike</em> simulates naval-air battles in the South Pacific during WWII. <em>Carrier Strike</em> can be used to recreate historical battles or random-historical battles (battles that could have happened at a particular time). The Campaign Game allows you to complete one battle and jump immediately into a new battle. Ships sunk or badly damaged in one battle will be unavailable for the next battle. The Campaign Game allows one battle per month from May 1942 to June 1944.</p>
<p>In <em>Carrier Strike</em> you issue movement orders to friendly task forces (TF's) and direct the Flight Operations on your carriers. Flight operations consist of selecting ordnance for bombers; moving aircraft from the hangar to the flight deck; launching aircraft on CAP, search and strike missions; and selecting or changing strike targets.</p>

<p>Man Of War is comprised of two distinct sections, the turn based setup and plotting stage and the real-time action phase. In the setup and plotting stage, players can choose to play either a historical scenario or a customized scenario. From a map of the chosen battle, players survey the strength of their fleet, analyze the weakness of the enemy and contemplate strategy. During setup the appropriate pre-battle doctrine is set and first orders are issued through a flag system of command. When the planning is complete, Man Of War's real-time action phase puts the player on the deck of the flagship in a first-person perspective. Players can move about freely to watch the outcome of their orders from any vantage point on the ship's deck. In a phase that lasts up to four minutes, players will experience the roar of the cannons, the impact of a broadside and a changing environment of 16 different weather conditions. When the four minute turn is compete, play will return to the plotting stage where damage and fleet movement is assessed and new orders are issued. When the final orders are given and the last cannon has fired, the Victory Summary will display the results of the battle and proclaim the victor.</p>

<p>The game uses fully polygonal graphics for both character models and environment. The camera changes angles depending on the location of the player character, similar to the <a href="/search/?q=Alone+in+the+Dark">Alone in the Dark</a> series. Conrad can use various weapons to eliminate the enemies and will also have to solve some puzzles on the way. He can not, however, perform as many moves as in <em>Flashback</em>; he can't climb or jump, and the only way he can potentially avoid being shot by enemies is by ducking.</p>

<p>Depending on which title you use, and how you interpret it, this game is about a guy who a) rushes in before attacking b) attacks Russians (or is being attacked by Russians... in the mid-80s, when this game was produced, the Cold War was still in full effect), or c) wears a rather goofy hat. One way or another, this arcade game arms you with a knife and sends you on a kamikaze mission against hordes of enemy fighters.</p>
<p>There are four distinct sections of gameplay, taking in a Missile Base, a Harbour, a Bridge, and an enemy Prison Camp. Extra weapons with limited ammunition can be collected along the way, which will make the task a lot easier.

</ul>

<p>Shooting Gallery is a cute little arcade game released as shareware. It's a combination of 7 little shooting games which are all controlled by the mouse and depend on your quick mouse reactions. You'll gain points and the goal is to get as high as possible in the highscore list.</p>
<p>Of the 7 little games, 1 and 4, 2 and 5 and 3 and 6 are some sort of 'sequels' to each other. It are quite the same games, only a little bit more difficult. The seventh game is maybe the most fun of all, you have to shoot cowboys which are invading a family's house, and you should try not to shoot the family members.</p>

<p>In this game, the player takes control of a lone prisoner who has been taking captive in a large castle occupied by the Nazis. Getting out of the cell and picking up a weapon is just the beginning; the ultimate goal is to acquire the war plans of the Nazis, and escape from Castle Wolfenstein alive.</p>
<p><em>Castle Wolfenstein</em> is notable for being one of the earliest games that incorporated stealth-based gameplay mechanics. The player navigates the hero through the top-down corridors and rooms of the castle. The main gameplay challenge lies in dealing with the guards who patrol the castle and will be alerted to any noise made by the player. It is possible to shoot the guards, but the ammunition in the game is scarce, and some guards are very hard to kill, so the preferred course of action is moving without being noticed. If the player surprises a guard with a gun drawn, the guard will surrender, and the player will be able to frisk him for valuable items.</p>
<p>The player should also search the treasure chests scattered across the castle. Some of them contain war plans, which are essential for winning the game; others have useful items, such as bullets, grenades, bulletproof vests, and guard uniforms. The uniforms can be worn for disguise; however, higher-ranked SS guards will be able to recognize the intruder. Chests might also contain food and beverage; imbibing alcohol will result in a temporary loss of aim and balance for the player character.</p>
<p>The game's sound effects include some of the earliest examples of digital voice samples. The guards would sometimes shout out short phrases in German in an attempt to stop the protagonist.</p>

<p><em>Sid &amp; Al's Incredible Toons</em> is a spin-off of <em>The Incredible Machine</em> series. It features cartoon characters and items instead of pseudo-realistic contraptions, but the goal is the same: to build hilarious machines reminiscent of the pictures of Rube Goldberg.</p>
<p>Sid Mouse and Al E. Cat have probably never heard of <em>Tom &amp; Jerry</em>, but they’re just as single-minded: any means to hurt the adversary is a good one. They get plenty of means in Incredible Toons. Around 100 puzzles need to be solved, each one a 2D machine of which crucial parts are missing. The player's task is to choose useful objects from a separate window, position them on the screen and start the machine to see if it’s working. A simple example: a piano hanging from a rope needs to be dropped on Al. To accomplish this, you place open scissors next to the cable and drop a ball on them - voila, the rope is cut, Al crushed. However, most puzzles are far more complicated; for example, the player might first have to lure Al under the piano with a fish, which needs to be transported to the right location by conveyor belts.</p>
<p>The puzzles involve a score of contraptions, ranging from simple ropes and pulleys to balloons, trapdoors, catapults, bombs, electrical hairdryers, and motors. Sid and Al are accompanied by several other cartoon characters, such as the lady elephant Eunice who will toss things around, or the pet dragon Bik that ignites objects with his fiery breath. </p>
<p>Gameplay is spiced up with cartoon animations -- Al chasing Sid is a sight to remember. If the player has solved all of the puzzles, the player can build own challenges with the comfortable editor. Oh, be sure to learn Sid &amp; Al’s lessons well -- you never know when you need to get rid of a mouse with nothing but some cheese, a trapdoor and an anvil.</p>

A bolt launches several fireballs in a machine-gun fashion, while a nuke launches a ring of fireballs in all directions. </p>
<p>The various enemies (such as orcs or trolls) that you meet while exploring are the main target for those fireballs. However, you can also destroy whole sections of walls, which is often necessary to complete the level. </p>
<p>Items you can find include (apart from bolts and nukes) healing potions, keys to open doors, and scrolls that provide hints. </p>
<p>There isn't an overhead map in the game, but you have a compass to guide you. What's more, various areas of the map have specific names displayed at the bottom of the screen, making it a bit easier to navigate.</p>

There are stars to collect along the way, as well as food to replenish energy lost in contact with the many hazards. Succeed and you and Daisy will ride off into the sunset together.</p>

<p><em>Bubble Dizzy</em> eschews the usual arcade adventure format of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/361/dizzy-series/">Dizzy games</a>, instead being a simple action game.</p>
<p>You must guide Dizzy through the underwater worlds, collecting pearls as you go. Dizzy starts at the bottom of the sea, and you have to get him to the top. You do this by jumping across bubbles, which only have a limited time before bursting. Enemies to avoid include sharks, octopuses and swordfish. Dizzy has limited oxygen, but more can be collected from O2 canisters. </p>
<p>After completing a level, you get a bonus for the amount of pearls you collected and the amount of oxygen you have left.</p>

<p>The evil wizard Zaks has cast a spell on the peaceful Yolkfolk, and while many fell under his spell, others have other problems to deal with, including Dizzy, who saw his girlfriend Daisy kidnapped and taken hostage by Zaks, and it's up to him to restore the Yolkfolk to normal and rescue Daisy from the top of the Cloud Castle's tower.</p>
<p>The most technically-advanced of Dizzy's adventure games in many ways, it was the only one to feature actual scrolling rather than a flick-screen system, the only one not to be released for the 8 bit computers the character originated on, the only one to originate on a console, as well as featuring many mini-games, such as <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3139/bubble-dizzy/">Bubble Dizzy</a></em> and an <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3475/operation-wolf/">Operation Wolf</a></em> clone. </p>
<p>Gameplay involves walking Dizzy through the levels, picking up objects and using them to solve simple puzzles. There are plenty of tests of arcade skill along the way as well, as gaps must be jumped and baddies avoided - starting with a limited number of lives, the player can earn more by completing Theodore's puzzle. Before rescuing Daisy the player must capture all stars that unlock the gates of the tower.</p>
<p>This game was later re-released on the NES with an updated Aladdin cart version. Updates include the number of collectible stars have increased from 100 stars to 250 stars, Dizzy now walks at a brisker pace, there are small terrain differences, some item placements have been rearranged, and the inventory system has become more simplified.</p>

<p>In the depths of New York City live two animal cop characters living out their own dreams (Firo, an orange ape and Klawd, an alley cat). But when counterfeit crimes push the city to its limits, the two must knock their differences to the side and clean up the mess that the other cops are yet to achieve. Includes a mix of Isometric platform action, and 1st person shoot 'em up stages, with plenty of laughs along the way.</p>

<p>The first in the strategy series set in the Roman Empire’s peak era starts off with you as ruler of a small province, although if you’re successful you will get tougher assignments.</p>
<p>You must build the city, placing crucial features such as housing estates, roads, policing, water supply, social events and the like. You’re not restricted to one city – you can build another area, linked by roads, once you’ve got the first one running smoothly. You have slaves at your disposal to build and maintain everything. </p>
<p>All this would be easy if you had an infinite supply of money, the civilians didn’t complain about anything, there was no threat of combat, and you didn’t have to keep the people above you happy. Needless to say, all of these problems crop up.</p>
<p>Via the forums, you will get public opinions, which are affected by how high taxes are, and whether people feel they’re getting value for money. If they don’t they could riot;– what will you tell the Emperor if that happens?</p>
<p>Barbarian threats are commonplace, so you need to maintain an army, and at times send it into battle. If you own <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2914/cohort-ii/">Cohort II</a>, you can fight the battles using that, but otherwise you just issue the orders then learn of the result.</p>

<p>This compilation contains the two games in the <em>Crusader</em> series:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/851/crusader-no-remorse/">Crusader: No Remorse</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/852/crusader-no-regret/">Crusader: No Regret</a></li>
</ul>

<p>A thousand years ago, a young Black Magician named Tar valiantly fought the demon lord Thornahuun, who was revealed to be his own father. However, Thornahuun managed to possess his son's soul and corrupt it. Tar declared himself Lord Tarbos and brought terror to the land of Lyramion, before being locked away in a secure prison on the world's red moon. Now, a sorcerer named Marmion is trying to release him, with the intention of spreading horror through the land. A lone adventurer from the town of Twinlake must gather thirteen pieces of a powerful artifact known as Amberstar to prevent that from happening. </p>
<p><em>Amberstar</em> is a role-playing game which uses a top-down view for overworld travel and most indoor locations, and switches to a first-person pseudo-3D perspective when exploring cities and dungeons. Initially the player creates a single protagonist with randomly assigned attributes and no class designation. During the course of the game, additional characters (up to six active party members) can be found in different cities and other locations and recruited. Some of these characters already belong to established classes and come with their own abilities. Guilds of various classes (fighter, paladin, ranger, mage, monk, and thief) can be visited, where the protagonist and his class-less companions (if any) can be promoted. Choice of classes affects attributes, character growth, imposes equipment restrictions, etc. When leveling up, characters can train in specific locations, increasing attributes of the player's choice.</p>
<p>Enemy encounters may occur at specific points in the overworld, or by approaching a visible enemy in a dungeon. The view then switches to overhead, with the combatants displayed on a small grid next to a window graphically presenting the enemies. The fighting is turn-based and offers various defensive and offensive options, including tactical movement on the grid and 90 different spells.</p>
<p>Although certain items must be procured and quests completed, the game is largely non-linear, and the player is free to roam the world of Lyramion from the onset. Besides traveling on foot, horses can be bought for safe crossing of shallow water, boats and rafts for sailing, and additional means of transportation as the game advances. The game features a multiple-topic conversation system with prominent NPCs, side quests to undertake, an auto-mapping feature in towns, a day-and-night cycle that may affect NPC movements and shop schedules, and usage of rations when camping to restore lost life points. Progress can be saved at any time, but there is only one save slot that is automatically overwritten.</p>

<p>A game where you buy equipment, then head beneath the town (built over an very strong layer of rock) and do mining in order to become rich and marry the woman of your dreams.</p>

<p>The same basic gameplay as the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2473/the-incredible-machine/">Incredible Machine</a>, solving a puzzle only using the parts provided. It includes all of the 87 puzzles from the first game, 73 new ones, as well as new parts and music.</p>

<p>This is a classic text-parser-with-moving-onscreen-actors adventure game from the early 90's.  In this game you are a tech specalist for a company.  (Basically Les is the poster child for nerds all over the US.)  Your goal is to win the Search for Elvis contest and win the heart of the girl of your dreams.  You might even wind up a superstar.</p>

<p>The advanced city design of Atlantis shows that a fully-fledged society must've functioned there, and this adventure game brings it to life. Queen Rhea is the leader who is under threat, and young Seth is the character you control as he aims to save the day. How can he know who to trust, and who has their own agenda in this complex world?</p>
<p>The world of Atlantis is displayed in fully-rotational full-screen 3D comprising of millions of polygons and full lip-synching using a proprietary system. Listen out for sounds of danger - sometimes they are the first warning you get.</p>
<p>There are 5 different continents to explore, and each has its own cultures. In total there are 50 characters you will interact with, and puzzles using an inventory system. Save points are limited by the game.</p>

<p>The intergalactic fast-food chain <em>Orion Burger</em> uses the services of an alien meat-supplier named Zlarg, who only cares for money and doesn't have much in a way of conscience. So his next genius plan is to use the inhabitants of the planet Earth, known as "humans", as a raw, protein-rich material for the tasty burgers. However, interstellar law forbids using sentient creatures as meat. Every raw ingredient has to pass specific tests for sentience. Zlarg knows it, and he rigs the tests in such a way that no creature can pass it. Enter Wilbur Wafflemeier, an ordinary guy who is about to be grilled... in more than one way. Somehow, the unlikely hero has to find a way to pass the tests...</p>
<p><em>Orion Burger</em> is a traditional puzzle-solving adventure with cartoon-like 2D graphics. It uses verb commands "Take", "Use", and "Talk" for interaction with the environment. The game consists of five tests, each of them requiring Wilbur to explore his home town, talk to people, gather inventory items, and solve tricky puzzles in order to succeed and qualify as a sentient being.</p>

<p><em>Ripper</em> is an interactive FMV adventure that is played out in the New York of 2040. Brutal killings reminiscent of Jack the Ripper soon get personal and you, crime reporter Jake Quinlan, must solve the mystery. </p>
<p>The game plays much like other <a href="/search/?q=Take+2">Take 2 Interactive</a> works, such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1174/black-dahlia/">Black Dahlia</a>. Solve puzzles and react quickly in combat settings to survive. There are 4 possible endings, and 3 hours of video footage.</p>

<p>As a lowly research assistant Nevada Smith believes he's finally going to get his big break into the pages of archaeology by discovering a long lost tomb. His glory is soon stolen away from him by the professor he's assisting at the University. The same professor he's been assisting for years in the hopes of tagging along for a treasure hunt. Tired of taking things lying down Nevada sneaks into the professor's office and steals back the ancient map he found and afterwards he runs home to pack his bags and outrun the professor to the tomb inside one of the great pyramids of Egypt. </p>
<p>Once inside the pyramid, Nevada will face hazards such as traps, falling spikes, bottomless pits, and dangerous denizens of the pyramids including, bats, monsters, and of course mummies to say the least. Nevada must find a number of keys on each level to advance to the next level and must also be on the lookout for treasures. one other hazard in his way are mysterious winds that blow on certain levels which add to the challenge of exploring the level. Nevada isn't exactly defenseless however. His adventures begin with five lives and he's got a couple of spears which he can throw at the creatures in his way.</p>
<p><em>Pharaoh's Tomb</em> is a platform game where the player controls the actions of Nevada Smith. Nevada can run around and jump and he can also throw spears at enemies. More spears can be picked up on certain levels and bonus lives to give you a better chance at getting through the adventure can also be found or earned. Levels are passed once the required number of keys or treasures are found. Players can save their progress at the beginning of any level. Enemies in Pharaoh's Tomb are restricted to move in strict patterns and players must pay close attention to these patterns to avoid them. Throwing spears at enemies also requires some space between the player and the enemy and therefore enemies can't be speared when Nevada is right next to them.</p>
<p><em>Pharaoh's Tomb</em> is comprised of four volumes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Vol.1 - Raiders of The Lost Tomb</li>
<li>Vol.2 - Pharaoh's Curse</li>
<li>Vol.3 - Temple of Terror</li>
<li>Vol.4 - Nevada's Revenge!</li>
</ul>
<p>The shareware version of the game is the entire first volume. Each volume of the game includes twenty levels taking place deeper and deeper into the pyramid. <em>Pharaoh's Tomb</em> uses a proprietary animation system called FAST (Fluid Animation Software Technology) which allows the game to run on older machines at a good performance level however the restrictions of this system are the enemies are located in bounding boxes and therefore players need to imagine a rectangle around enemies and other hazards in order to fully avoid them.</p>

<p><em>The Big Red Adventure</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13613/nippon-safes-inc/">Nippon Safes Inc.</a>. This time the action takes place in Russia after Mikhail Gorbachev's Perestroika. The player again takes the role of Doug Nuts, Dino Fagioli and Donna Fatale and accidentally become embroiled in a plot to restore communism. As a typical point'n'click adventure, you move your character over hand-drawn backgrounds, making actions on objects from your inventory with scenery elements or giving them to different people. The story is split into four parts. The first two parts are initially disconnected from themselves. In each of them you control one of the characters performing different objectives just to let it end on board of the train when all three characters meet again. This is where the game becomes more complicated because the player has to make them cooperate by sharing the objects or information.</p>

<p>The game is based on the <em>Shannara</em> fantasy novels by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/369895/terry-brooks/">Terry Brooks</a>. </p>
<p>The protagonist of the game is Jak Ohmsford, whose father, Shea, is a legendary hero who once defeated the evil warlock Brona. The druid Allanon tells Jak that Brona has returned, and the only way to defeat him - beside wielding the legendary sword of Shannara - is to travel to the lands of different races populating the world, and convince them to put their differences aside and join forces to defeat Brona. On his long journey, Jak will meet many characters from different races, and embrace his heroic destiny by making the toughest decisions of his life.</p>
<p><em>Shannara</em> is an adventure game with the same interface as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/175/death-gate/"> Death Gate</a>, derived from earlier interactive fiction games by Legend Entertainment. The game is viewed from first-person perspective, and the navigation (beside traveling on the world map) is done by "jumping" from screen to screen, rather than by physically moving the protagonist. The game has inventory-based puzzles and extended conversation trees with many dialogue options.</p>
<p>The game has some elements taken from RPGs, such as top-down world-map traveling and occasional turn-based battles. However, there is no real role-playing system in the game (statistics, experience points, levels, etc.). The battles serve to emphasize the danger of traveling the wilderness, or appear as story-related events; sometimes, they are treated like puzzles, with specific actions leading to victory.</p>
<p>Although the main playable character is Jak Ohmsford, other characters travel with the hero, forming a "party". These characters have their own inventory and abilities, which must be used sometimes to solve the game's puzzles.</p>

<p>Get ready for more nights of masochistic puzzle goodness, because <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1547/the-lost-vikings/">the Lost Vikings</a> need your help once again! The brothers (Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce and Olaf the Stout) are trying to get back home and you need to guide them through. Two brand new characters (Fang the Werewolf and Scorch the Dragon) also join the fray. Each character has their own special talents and they must be used in concert if you are to win.</p>

<p>A fast paced action game where you run around a machine-gun wielding robot destroying everything in your path.  There is a multitude of enemies and you can destroy almost every single thing on the map (buildings, vehicles, etc.).  The reason for all this destruction is a revolution led by the robots against their human masters.</p>

<p>A group of evil goblin-like creatures known as Taldor have attacked the clan to which the hero of the game belongs. In order to defeat the Taldor, the protagonist must assemble a party of adventurers, unite the warring tribes of the North and the South, and procure the ancient powerful axe Khamalkhad. Meanwhile, the minions of darkness will do anything in their power to stop the heroes...</p>
<p><em>Bloodstone: An Epic Dwarven Tale</em> is a prequel to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Magic+Candle">Magic Candle</a> games. It utilizes the same engine as the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8098/the-magic-candle-iii/">third game</a> in the series, and has a very similar gameplay. Turn-based battles take place in the same area as the exploration, without switching to separate combat screens. A few tweaks were applied to the gameplay; for example, characters no longer get tired when traveling.</p>

<p><em>The Orion Conspiracy</em> is a futuristic adventure game set in the year 2160, when space travel is a common thing. The player controls the Irish man Devlin McCormack as he arrives at the deep space station Cerberus following the death of his son Danny. Initially he only intends to stay for a short time, but when it is discovered he was murdered, he decides to stay and investigate the circumstances of the death.</p>
<p>Gameplay is typical for graphical adventures of that time, with a third-person view and a point-and-click interface. When browsing an environment the cursor can be moved over objects. Objects that can be used are highlighted. After clicking them, a number of actions becomes available through icons at the bottom of the screen, such as examining them, or picking them up. There are conversation trees when talking to other characters and both subtitles and voiced speech are supported. The game contains a large amount of profanity, with words that are generally censored or avoided in other games.</p>

<p><em>Dinotopia</em> is an adventure game designed primarily for children which is based upon the books "Dinotopia" and "The World Beneath" by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/522507/james-gurney/">James Gurney</a>.</p>
<p>Players take the role of Nathan Drake, a shipwreck survivor. The major objective is to find Nathan's sister, Constance, who he hopes also survived and washed up elsewhere on the island.</p>
<p>In Dinotopia, dinosaurs are intelligent and speak their own language, which Nathan must learn in order to communicate with them. As he explores the island, he will be doing tasks for the dinosaurs and other humans, picking up inventory objects and solving simple puzzles.</p>

<p><em>Sango Fighter 2</em> is a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1384/sango-fighter/">Sango Fighter</a>. Like the previous game, it is a versus fighting game set in the Three Kingdoms era in China. The game features sixteen heroes from the Three Kingdoms period. The gameplay is divided into three modes: Conquer China, Warriors Battle, and Two-Player Match Ups.</p>

<p>SuperKarts is a fun arcade Go Kart racing game that features 16 tracks. The sequel is <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2563/manic-karts/">Manic Karts</a>. If you're tired of all those technical racing games, try this: just drive and steer. You can also get numerous power-ups and upgrade your kart, such as Turbo, Oil and Grip.</p>

<p>Lode Runner clone. Move Roboman to pop various balloons on the level to find a key that will trigger the exit door.
You can gain bonus points by popping all the balloons on  the level, and there are quite a few nice touches, such as hidden suprises inside the balloons and springboards to jump to higher levels.</p>

<p><a href="/search/?q=Marble+Madness">Marble Madness</a> meets pinball. Ball rolling game with a simple goal: Move the ball to hit moving targets within time limit to win the level.
On the higher levels feature hazards and bonus items, and you can score some big points if you hit them in the right sequence. Most targets are cutesy-looking aliens, and a big yellow arrow shows which one you must bounce at next.</p>

<p>After defeating the Drajian army, four former gladiator slaves journey to the recently liberated city of Tyr, whose evil sorcerer-king Kalak was recently slain. Although freed from Kalak's tyranny, Tyr is now defenseless against the ambition of the Dragon, a creature that came into existence as a transformation of a malevolent mage. The Dragon sends his powerful undead general the Lord Warrior to Tyr to conquer it and prepare for his coming. The heroes hook up with a rebel underground known as the Veiled Alliance and must oppose the Draxans and the Lord Warrior, while they are being secretly observed by the Dragon through his crystal ball. The party soon learns that the Dragon may be the least of their worries, however, as it becomes apparent that the Lord Warrior has his own hidden agenda and intends to unleash a long dormant monster of immense destructive power upon the world.</p>
<p><em>Dark Sun: Wake of the Ravager</em> is a direct sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1802/dark-sun-shattered-lands/">Shattered Lands</a>. It has the same engine and basic gameplay as the original game, with slight graphical improvements (such as larger character sprites). Like its predecessor, this game is a departure from the earlier <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/8021/gold-box-series/">Gold Box</a> Dungeons &amp; Dragons games: instead of a first-person "maze game" focusing on dungeon crawling, the game has a third-person top-down view with more of a focus on interacting with the characters and environment. Battles are turn-based and take place in the same environment as exploration, with player-controlled and enemy parties being navigated in a tactical fashion. Character creation and party management are identical to those of the first game. </p>
<p>Since the sequel continues the story of the first game directly, player-controlled characters start at higher levels or can be imported from the previous game. As a result, the level cap is higher and characters are able to learn more powerful spells as mages, clerics, and masters of psionic disciplines. Compared to the predecessor, the second game has a more focused and linear plot: certain areas become open for exploration only after specific events have been triggered. However, there are still several optional areas with various sub-quests in them. Also, the game has a more distinct urban environment, with the city of Tyr serving as its central hub where most of the major quests originate.</p>

<p><em>Krypton Egg</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> clone. Like in all such games, your goal on each level is to break all the bricks with a ball, which you bounce with a paddle, and try to save it from falling out of the level. </p>
<p>Some bricks have a random power-up within them. There are many various power-ups (most beneficial, some of them harmful), such as: lengthening/shortening our paddle, enlarging or duplicating our ball, adding thrusters to the paddle so that it can fly, adding various weapons so that the paddle can shoot and destroy bricks, and many more. </p>
<p>Occasionally, various monsters will appear on the playfield and begin flying around. Most of those are harmless and do nothing except interfering with the ball (if it hits them, it bounces off). However, some monsters will destroy your paddle if they touch it. </p>
<p>Each few levels, there comes a special action sequence where you try to defend yourself from a horde of incoming monsters, or defeat a boss by shooting it and avoiding its missiles.</p>

<p>One of the world's first chess games designed for experts, <em>Cyrus</em> is also unfortunately one of the least known due to limited distribution.</p>
<p>The IBM version can be played from a isometric 3-D perspective, or a traditional boring 2-D overhead view.</p>
<p>There is a clock, which can be turned on or off.
You can view analysis mode, examine game, or watch the computer play itself.</p>
<p>The game has 16 difficulty levels!</p>

<p>Fenimore Fillmore happens to rescue an old peddler being attacked by some rustlers, but it is also him who accidentally leads the old man to his death by passing him the hair lotion. Just a few minutes before his death, the peddler revealed that he owned one of three skulls that will unlock the treasure of the Toltecs. Fenimore takes hold of the skull, but is then shot by the rustlers and passes out, with the skull going to the hands of the rustlers. When he regains consciousness, he sets out to recover all three and unearth the treasure himself. And of course, beside Fenimore, some other people are also searching for these skulls...</p>
<p><em>3 Skulls of the Toltecs</em> is a 3rd person cartoon adventure game in the same vein as <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/secret-of-monkey-island">The Secret of Monkey Island</a>. The interface is point-and-click, and the player is given a list of verbs to select from to perform actions: <em>open, close, pick up/give, use, look, move, talk</em>, similar to the <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/lucasarts">LucasArts</a> games it emulates. Once a certain portion of the territory has been covered a map becomes available for travel, or the player can ride the train tracks with a hand-pumped trolley or travel by donkey. Puzzles are inventory-based, and the player must talk to other characters in the game and collect items in order to solve them. In many conversations, players are given multiple choices of what Fenimore will respond. Players' choice largely affects their process in the game.</p>

<p><em>Amazon: Guardians of Eden</em> is an adventure which tries to capture the feel of a "B series" set in 1957 - complete with cliffhanger endings at the end of each chapter. The plot follows the adventure of Jason Roberts, whose brother was attacked during an expedition into the Amazon. Now Roberts starts his own expedition to help his brother and eventually race for a lost treasure.</p>
<p>Jason is moved with the keyboard, while actions are performed with a point &amp; click interface, which means that the player combines a symbol from the command line or the inventory with another object or person in the game world. Most puzzles are inventory-based or multiple-choice dialogues, but there are also some action-based mini games, e.g. a canoe ride. Many puzzles require quick thinking (player character is killed if it takes the player too long to figure out the solution) and "pixel hunting" for small hot spots on the screen. During some sequences the player has to switch between Jason and the female lead character to progress. </p>
<p>An in-game hint system is available, but nevertheless it is possible to get stuck in a dead end, having missed an important item from a previous chapter.</p>

<p>A quasi-adventure based on the movie <em>The Beverly Hillbillies</em>, which in turn was based on the popular US TV series from the 1960s and 70s. </p>
<p>The player takes control of Jed Clampett after his unexpected discovery of oil, and help him build a new life in Beverly Hills, only to find out that two criminals targeted him as a blackmail victim.</p>

<p><em>In Extremis</em> is a science-fiction First Person Shooter (FPS) in which you play as a crashed space pilot stranded aboard a derelict vessel. To escape, you must collect key cards and insert them into terminals. Valid cards will give you a code for the current level. That code will grant you access to lockers containing weapons and equipment. A second set of key cards opens up elevators, allowing you to travel to deeper into the ship's 29 levels.</p>
<p>Technically, the game is similar to graphical updates of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D+DOS">Wolfenstein 3-D</a> engine (such as used in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Blake+Stone">Blake Stone</a> series), and features textured walls along with optional floor and ceiling textures. Faked lighting effects (your screen shifts to a different colour as you pass under coloured lights) also appear. Architecture is still limited to 90 degree angles and heavy on mazes.</p>
<p>Aside from finding new weapons and blasting aliens, you have a limited inventory of pickups to manage. Your suit's air tanks are constantly depleting, and must be replaced with fresh tanks before they run dry. Your suit contains a motion tracker and nightvision, both which drain the same replaceable batteries. Syringes can be collected and used to restore your health. Finally, alien nests appear on some levels and endlessly spawn new enemies. Bombs can be collected and deployed to destroy these.</p>

<p><em>Ultimate Body Blows</em> is a compilation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1970/body-blows/">Body Blows</a> and its sequel, available only for Amiga, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/17523/body-blows-galactic/">Body Blows Galactic</a>. The game combines everything from its predecessors and adds more colors, improved graphics, and music, more
backgrounds and endings, giving the player a total of 22 characters (including the invincible Max and his true self, the Terminator T17) and many fixes.</p>
<p>The game was released only on a CD offering the in-game soundtrack played directly from a CD.</p>

<p>Morgoth, the deity of chaos, was enraged by the gods' decision to banish him from the pantheon. Plotting revenge, he began poisoning the minds of the nations of the world. Black elves and orcs became his minions. The gods flooded the land in response, secluding the island kingdom of Arborea as the last stronghold against Morgoth's forces. Jarel, the last Prince of the elf-like race of Sham-nirs, must find allies who would help him on his quest to obtain four elemental crystals, restore the power of the temples, and defeat Morgoth.</p>
<p><em>Crystals of Arborea</em> is an RPG which is a precursor to the <a href="/search/?q=Ishar">Ishar</a> games. The party of six characters roam the world (on a 2D map or by exploring 3D individual locations), defeating Morgoth's minions, gathering experience points and becoming stronger. Unlike the subsequent <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/359/ishar-series/">Ishar</a> games, combat in this game is turn-based, and takes place on separate screens. The players must manually navigate party members on the battle field. Archers and spellcasters can use ranged attacks, while melee fighters must stand close to the enemy in order to strike.</p>

<p>In <em>Terminator 2029</em>, the player is a member of John Connor's Special Operations Group tasked with destroying Skynet. The game is a first-person shooter, although restricted to the 4 compass directions (i.e. turning, using the arrow keys, spins the player around 90 degrees). The character is wearing the Advanced Combat Armor with configurable slots for easily switchable weapons. This comes in handy, as new weapons and attachments are acquired throughout the game. The cross-hairs are moved using the mouse, with the left button being the trigger.</p>

<p><em>Cyberwar</em> is based on the movie <em>The Lawnmower Man</em> and is set after its ending. The player takes the role of Dr. Lawrence Angelo who once again has to defeat the corrupted Jobe. Gameplay 
is similar to its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/898/the-lawnmower-man/">predecessor</a> and
consists of several mini games which are all based on the movie's virtual reality segments. Pre-rendered movies are streamed from the disc and require the player to press left or right at the appropriate second. There are also some puzzles like entering a code.</p>

<p>The end of the 21st century is nearing; despite phenomenal gains in technology, humanity is still plagued by infectious diseases. In fact things are much worse than ever before. Many new strains of infection and disease begin to appear in the late 20th century that were highly resistant to conventional medicine.

<p>A space-time portal has suddenly appeared, and two brave adventures entered it. It led to Har'Akir, a scorched desert populated by vicious creatures who hold the few peaceful settlements in fear. The only way to escape this wretched place is to find the Stone Prophet, a wall of a obelisk with mysterious hieroglyphs written on it. The adventurers must find the path that leads to the Stone Prophet, but the cursed mummy of the ancient pharaoh Anhktepot is watching every step they make...</p>
<p><em>Ravenloft: Stone Prophet</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3315/ravenloft-strahds-possession/">Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession</a>. It utilizes the same graphical engine and gameplay system. Like its predecessor, character creation and combat follow the <a href="/search/?q=d%26d">Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons</a> role-playing rules; exploration and combat are viewed from first-person perspective, and the battles occur in real time. The player can import two characters from the previous game, or create two new ones. Up to four additional characters can be met in the game world and recruited to the party.</p>
<p>The Egyptian-like desert setting of the game has brought an additional gameplay element: the necessity of regularly drinking water. The heroes must always carry enough water with them when they venture into the desert, or cast water-creating spells.</p>

<p>Lord Dhelt of Elturel was attacked in his own castle. The mysterious assassin stole the Holy Symbol of Helm, a precious amulet with magical powers. Lord Dhelt asks you to bring the amulet back. But when you kill the assassin and retrieve the amulet, you are suddenly teleported into an unknown area. The way back is blocked by poisonous mist, and there is nothing you can do but explore the hostile surroundings and to solve the mystery of the amulet.</p>
<p><em>Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession</em> is a party-based RPG that utilizes AD&amp;D rules. In the beginning you have a party of two people, using either pre-determined characters, or creating your own ones, picking from traditional AD&amp;D races (human, elf, dwarf, etc.) and classes (fighter, cleric, etc.). Some characters will join your party during the course of the game, allowing maximum of four characters. Combat is done in real time. The 3D environment allows you to move smoothly through the game world, either with arrow keys, or by simply moving the mouse.</p>

<p>Grondoval, a knight from the land of Stazhia, has been just chosen to travel to the forbidding Island of Char. An evil witch named Illwhyrin has cast a curse of never-ending darkness on Stazhia, and built her lair, the Witchaven, on the island, sacrificing the few foolish humans who dare venture there. The witch's present goal is to remove a magical barrier known as the Veil, which serves as a portal to the world of demons. Should she succeed, unspeakable evil shall arrive and consume the world. Grondoval must defeat Illwhyrin's demonic minions, reach the core of Witchaven, and defeat her.</p>
<p>Based on 3D Realms' <em>Build</em> engine, <em>Witchaven</em> is a first-person fantasy slasher akin to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21987/heretic/">Heretic</a>, with the addition of a simple role-playing experience and level system: the player accumulates experience from killing monsters and acquiring items, so as to become more powerful (with seven experience levels altogether). The weapons include knives, swords, bows, morning stars, battle axes, throwing axes, and halberds. Spells such as Scare, Night Vision, Fly, Fireball, and Nuke, are available via scrolls found during exploration, although the more powerful spells require that the player character has attained a certain experience level (for example, Nuke, which disintegrates opponents, requires the hero to be level five to cast). Scattered around the levels are potions which grant the protagonist such boons as healing, invisibility and strength.</p>

<p>The rabbit you control has ninja skills and an appropriate costume. <em>Ninja Rabbits</em> is a platform game where you usually go to the right, except sometimes you must go down into the sewers or metro and fight there. Enemies on various levels include street thugs, ninjas, bears and frogs.</p>
<p>Most screens have more than one enemy, but you only fight one at a time. Be careful to avoid the bouncing dots, as these sap your energy. This is depicted as a carrot which gets smaller as it fades - collect extra carrots to recharge it.</p>

<p>A quite weird puzzle/actiongame in 3d, where you are a little guy in a chamber which is rotatable by pushing around the corners. Objects will fall down then and some other parts of the level get accesible.</p>
<p>The game also supports a 2 player competitive mode, where you have to pick up objects and put them in another one's crystal. Try to avoid the other to get to his crystal by moving around the chamber.</p>

<p>Virtual Pool is the definitive pool simulation game that actually teaches novice players how to play and even promises to improve the game of the pool shark. Developed by a team of physicists and professional pool players, Virtual Pool brings the game to life with the highest degree of accuracy. Balls roll, skid, collide and move on a fully rendered 3D controlled pool table that mirrors reality. </p>
<p>Virtual Pool has revolutionary features that allow players to actually 'walk' around the table to check out their next shot, take a closer look, back away, look left or right and then line-up the shot like they would in a real game with a real table. This title also allows players to take an overhead view from above, something unavailable in a real pool game! </p>
<p>Taking game tips from World Champion pool player "Machine Gun" Lou Butera is guaranteed to improve the player's game. "Machine Gun" Lou will teach players over 30 famous trick shots the player can practice on their computer screen and then implement on a real table.</p>

<p>In this fantasy role-playing game, an army of evil extra-dimensional creatures is building above the Gandolan mountains, threatening the civilized regions to the south. There is no army to defend the lands, but if a few hardy adventurers can find a magical staff in the castle of a long-dead mage named Grelminar, the gate can be closed and the invasion averted.</p>
<p>The player controls a party of four characters, each with some standard-issue attributes: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Piety, Body Points and Magic Points. The game also features three of the usual character classes (fighters, mages and priests), and there are different spell lists for each of the spell-casting classes. Players can create their own characters or use the ones provided by the game; either way, progress is automatically saved from time to time (though there is a reset button which allows the player to start over from the beginning).</p>
<p>The game starts out in a town (which is portrayed simply by a text-based menu system) and then proceeds into a multi-level dungeon.  While exploring the dungeon, different areas of the screen display different information.  There is a first-person, ninety-degree-turning view, an automap and, in some areas, a textual description.  These are supplemented by random third-person, turn-based combat encounters which take place in the window that normally shows the 3-D dungeon view.  In typical role-playing style, combat yields rewards of gold and experience (and sometimes equipment), and characters gain in abilities as they increase in experience.</p>

<p>Having recovered Grelminar's Staff in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3335/dark-designs-i-grelminars-staff/">Dark Designs I: Grelminar's Staff</a>, a group of adventurers must now journey to Mount Delkeina, traverse the dangerous tunnels there, defeat an evil warlord, and close the dimensional gate he is using to build an army of monsters. This sequel features the same gameplay as its predecessor, though some minor enhancements have been made, like giving clearer names to spells and pooling gold for the whole party rather than giving it to individual characters. It is possible to import a party from the previous game or to start over with new characters.</p>

<p>A mix-and-match program for kids, <em>Dino-Sorcerer</em> is probably best remembered as one of the earliest games coded by <a href="/search/?q=John+Romero">John Romero</a> after he started working at SoftDisk. <em>Dino-Sorcerer</em> lets you create fictional dinosaurs from various parts. You can then save the resulting dinosaur to disk or print it. One of the most creative features in the game is that as you change a body part, the name of the dinosaur will also change accordingly. All the names sound semi-authentic, and some are quite amusing. If the player manages to recreate a real dinosaur species, they are given an opportunity to learn more about the animal.</p>

<p>Much like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=elite">Elite,</a> Tradewars 2002 is considered a space trading game, but it gives you a perfect mix between strategy and action by allowing you to play against other people and giving you options such as building citadels and ports.</p>
<p>A text based game who found it's popularity by being played through dial-up BBSs, Tradewars has evolved dramatically since it's first release. It now allows multiplayer action and is easily playable over the internet through any telnet client. You can also set up your own server for people to play at and it's still costs nothing to play.</p>

<p>In <em>Super Hang-On</em> you race a motorcycle around the world, completing each section of track within a time limit. There are other bikes on the road, but beating this is not important, so they can be thought of as moving obstacles. Each continent is a different difficulty level: Africa is beginner, Asia is junior, the Americas are senior, and Europe is expert. </p>
<p>This is a very simple and straightforward game, viewed from behind the bike in 2D (so the screen does not tilt with the bike). The right/left controls are steering, and up/down are gear changes. Your cycle is always moving, and your speed strictly depends on the gear you are in, although contact or running off the road slows the bike down.</p>
<p>The Sega Genesis version features "Original mode" in which the player participates in racing tournaments, hires mechanics, upgrades his bike. This mode uses passwords allowing players to continue a previously played game.</p>

<p><a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> meets shoot-'em-up, <em>Rampart</em> is a game combining strategy and artillery action. Build your castle from Tetris-style pieces, place your cannons, bombard the enemy, try to repair, do it all over again. The original arcade release has a single-player and a two-player mode; later revisions incorporate three-player gameplay.</p>

<p>The Slob Zone is under the control of Bob the Slob, the leader of the Hardcore Union of Radical Litterbugs, an army of oversized animals. Bob the Slob has stolen all the world's clean underwear, and sends his dirty minions against the one brave hero who dares to venture into his realm and reclaim the stolen goods.</p>
<p><em>H.U.R.L.</em> is a non-violent action game that uses a first-person perspective and 3D graphics reminiscent of first-person shooters. Instead of shooting enemies, however, the protagonist washes them. Soap, water balloons and deodorant can be found or acquired at vending machines, trading collected rubbish for them. Animals try to hit the hero with various kinds of dirt, to which he reacts with cleaning; after having been assaulted with cleaning utensils for a sufficient amount of time animals surrender.</p>

<p>In the sequel to <em>Les Manley In: Search for the King</em>, Les is searching for his best friend Helmut the Human Bean who, along with his girlfriend LaFonda Turner, has been kidnapped from his mansion in Los Angeles. Helmut and LaFonda are not the only ones who disappeared. Recently many celebrities have vanished without a trace and without any ransom note from possible kidnappers.</p>
<p>Unlike the first game in the series, this game is a "point and click" adventure. There is no text parser involved but instead the player uses the mouse pointer over the on-screen objects, so they become highlighted with a question mark. Clicking on them pulls down a simple menu consisting of possible actions that can be undertaken with the objects. Items collected in the inventory are operated exactly the same way but they can not be combined all together - they can only be used with objects or people on the location (including the Les' character himself). During the conversation with other characters, the player has several dialogue lines to choose from. However, since the game is very linear, there is no possibility to fail the game by conducting the conversation in a wrong way. Later in the game the player will have control over two characters.</p>
<p>The game combines cartoon graphics with digitised simple animations of filmed actors and actresses. The latter are mostly used as cutscenes or during the conversations.</p>

<p>Many years ago, great dragons roamed the land, protecting the human kind from evil. However, a bitter rivalry between the Black and the White mages disrupted this harmony. The dragons have mysteriously vanished, and so have the leaders of the magic guilds. Four friends - the fighter Bladus, the mage Rinakles, the dwarf Dobranur, and the elf Andariel - have been summoned by an elderly wizard in the city of Pegana. They are entrusted with the task of locating the dragons and learning the high art of magic to restore balance to the world.</p>
<p><em>Dragonflight</em> is a fantasy role-playing game primarily drawing inspiration from <a href="/search/?q=Ultima">Ultima</a> series. There is no character creation and the player is immediately put in control of the four protagonists as a party. Overworld travel and town navigation are displayed from a top-down perspective; house interiors are not shown graphically. Dungeons, on the other hand, are done in first-person pseudo-3D style, similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/834/dungeon-master/">Dungeon Master</a>. Game progression is non-linear, with the player able to travel to most locations from the onset.</p>
<p>Monsters are sometimes encountered wandering the wilderness, and are also found at fixed locations in the dungeons. When combat initiates, the game switches to a side-scrolling view with a grid displayed above it. The player can move characters over the battle field, attack with melee or ranged weapons, and cast spells, all in a turn-based fashion. Experience points are awarded for vanquishing monsters. Characters can also learn magic by mixing reagents and choosing between the Black and the White schools. The game can be saved at any time on the overworld. There is no auto-mapping feature.</p>

<p>A game with teams of era's like with Babe Ruth and Willie Mays.  A game very up to date for its time.  Camera angles and TV style presentations.</p>

<p>Old american football simulation co-designed by famous sportscaster <a href="/search/?q=john+madden">John Madden</a>. The first game in <a href="/search/?q=electronic+arts">EA</a>'s long-running Madden series. Different versions of this game have been available on almost every platform - with the Mega Drive version being the most famous of them all. The game concentrates more on tactics than pure action.</p>

<p>Follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3389/john-madden-football/">John Madden Football</a>, <em>John Madden Football II</em> improves upon its predecessor with VGA graphics, ADLIB music, and an overall much nicer presentation. The game contains a playbook featuring 80 offensive and 100 defensive plays. And true to the game's pedigree, <a href="/search/?q=John+Madden">John Madden</a> himself provides witty commentary throughout the games.</p>

<p><em>Telengard</em> is an earlier example of a "dungeon crawler" role-playing game--albeit with a top-down view- with either real time movement (DOS version) or turn-based movement and turn based combat. Telengard is also played in real time, which means that monsters can attack even when the player's character is not moving. </p>
<p>The player controls a single adventurer, selecting randomly-rolled sets of attributes: Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Constitution, Dexterity, and Charisma. The vast Telengard dungeon consists of 50 levels down and 200 by 200 rooms each level. Experience is awarded not only for defeating enemies, but also for finding treasure. When the player character gains a level, their attributes increase, and they gain the ability to cast higher-leveled spells.</p>
<p>Treasure chests appear randomly in the dungeon. There are also specific features such as altars, thrones, fountains, etc. that the adventurer can discover which may have various effects on the character, whether being either positive or negative. Some creatures will befriend the player, sometimes providing the player with an item and/or healing them, provided the player's Charisma is high enough.</p>

<p>The table included in this pinball game has a taxi theme attached to it. As you slam the ball around the screen, you can pick up passengers, drive around USA, and get bonus points through mini games, all related to taxi driving. Even the dot matrix screen gets a say in the action, where you must crash into as many cars as possible as you drive your passenger to his/her destination, all in the name of points of course.</p>

<p>This game is based on the pen &amp; paper RPG <em>Tunnels &amp; Trolls</em>.</p>
<p>After a four hundred year long war, humans and monsters finally signed a peace treaty, and harmony returned to the Dragon Land - but not for long. The leader of the monsters, the mysterious Lerotra'hh, declared the peace contract was invalid. Monsters began to attack human settlements once again. The only one who can save the humans is the mighty wizard Khazan. Unfortunately, Khazan was imprisoned in his exile. This is where a group of brave adventurers enters the picture, determined to rescue Khazan and defeat the evil.</p>
<p>The party explores the world of <em>Crusaders of Khazan</em> from a top-down perspective, roaming wilderness areas, visiting towns, talking to people, receiving quests, and descending into dungeons. Battles take place on a top-down battle screen, on which characters can move freely and attack enemies in turn-based style. The game features point-and-click interface with multiple windows.</p>

<p>Battle of Antietam is a grand tactical simulation of the bloodiest day of the Civil War at the little town of Sharpsburg, Maryland along Antietam Creek.</p>
<p>The game is played in 11 turns each representing 1 hour of real time. Players are awarded points based on casualties and territorial objectives. At the end of each turn and the end of the game points are calculated and compared to a chart which determines your level of victory.</p>
<p>The game can be played under 3 different sets of rules (Basic, Intermediate and Advanced) with 5 levels of difficulty for each and can be played against another person or the computer can play either side.</p>

<p>Gettysburg: The Turning Point is a grand tactical simulation of the most famous, well known and arguably the most decisive battle of the Civil War fought at the little town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania from July 1 to July 3, 1863.</p>
<p>The game uses a refined version of SSI's Antietam game system and is played in 42 turns each representing 1 hour of real time over a 3 day period.. Players are awarded points based on casualties and territorial objectives. At the end of each turn and the end of the game points are calculated and compared to a chart which determines your level of victory. </p>

<p>Trouble is in Cobra City! Gangsters roam the streets, and gang bosses seem to have taken the power in the city. Who is responsible for the situation? It is up to the private investigator JR Knight and his lovely companion Faythe to find out what is going on.</p>
<p><em>Cobra Mission</em> is based on an <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/47426/cobra-mission/"> earlier release</a> of the same name, but was developed from scratch and has many important differences that make it an independent title rather than a port. Many locations and characters were completely re-designed, and story events added or altered. There are also more different enemy types and many more items to find in this version. </p>
<p>Like the original game, it is a Japanese anime-style RPG with erotic content. The game takes place in Cobra City, a large town divided into several parts. The player navigates the characters through the city in top-down view, visiting various buildings, talking to people, buying weapons and items, gathering information, and fighting random enemies. During battles, the game switches to first-person perspective. Both JR and Faythe can be controlled as a party.</p>
<p>Unlike the earlier version, the battles are not turn-based. The player must click on the picture of the enemy in real time to inflict damage. The mouse cursor is always slightly moving during battles, which makes aiming more difficult. Many enemies have weak and strong areas, and it is necessary to aim precisely in order to have success. </p>
<p>Following completion of major quests, the protagonist rescues young women who become grateful, giving him their telephone numbers. It is then possible to visit them and participate in erotic mini-games: The player is given a certain number of turns, during which he has to perform the correct actions to seduce the girl successfully.</p>

<p><em>Swords of Glass</em> is a simple CRPG probably inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1209/wizardry-proving-grounds-of-the-mad-overlord/">Wizardry</a>. You begin in a simple (text only) town and create a wizard or a warrior. After equipping your character at the store, you descend into the single 8 level dungeon located apparently somewhere nearby. As you progress and become more powerful, you will be able to plumb the deeper depths of the dungeon. If you prove your worth many times over, you might just find the Sword of Glass.</p>

<p>As a sequel to <a href="/search/?q=digital+image+design">DID</a>'s sci-fi space simulation <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2080/epic/">Epic</a>, <em>Inferno</em> continues the story-line of the Raxxon - Terran conflict that began at the time of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2080/epic/">Epic</a>.
The premise offers more plot developments than the original game: you are a Terran pilot who was ambushed by the Raxxons, who transformed you surgically into one of their own. Enraged, you killed all the Raxxons on board the station to regain your human form. With renewed vigor and thirst for revenge, you vow to eliminate their race once and for all...</p>
<p>The game's engine is an improved version of the one in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/773/tfx/">TFX</a>.</p>

<p>Sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Star+Fleet+I:+The+Battle+Begins">Star Fleet I: The Battle Begins</a>, this time you have been accepted as an Altern (UGA equivalent for Cadet) in the Krellan Empire. Build a successful military career as Krellan commander completing all missions given to you by the Krellan Fleet HQ against the United Galactic Alliance (UGA) and climb the military ladder to finally reach the rank of Admiral. </p>
<p><em>Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander</em> is a 2D starship simulation and strategy game using ASCII graphics which involves intergalactic reconnaissance, starship battles, diplomatic tactics, and planetary invasion, comprised in specific tasks given to you for each mission. Unlike <em>Star Fleet I: The Battle Begins</em>, the time flow of this game is <strong>not</strong> turn-based, the universe "moves" when your ship moves, while on other occasions, it is real-time.</p>
<p>Playing <em>Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander</em> consists of issuing commands for your starship, may it be for navigational or combat orders among others. Issuing commands is done by pressing a specific letter on the various display screens which issue a certain command. The purpose of the game is to successfully complete an assigned mission, while doing so you may also further increase the “ratings” of your missions by carrying out independent reconnaissance, battles and other “mini missions” identifiable within the game. Gameplay elements of the game may be identified as the following:</p>
<p><strong>Space: The Final Frontier</strong>  </p>
<p>Each mission is designated in a random area of space within the borders UGA territory. This regional space is approximately 35 light years wide and 15 light years deep <em>[note: light years is a measurement of distance, not time]</em>, or known as “sectors” in <em>Star Fleet 1</em>. Within this regional space, there are solar systems with planets, black holes, ion storms in addition to friendly and enemy ships and establishments.</p>
<p>Planets within a solar system may be orbited by your ship. A landing party may also be sent down for a survey or establish a base to further supply routes. If a planet contains intellectual life forms, diplomacy may be carried out (if the civilization fulfills certain requirements) to bring them under the Empire, or simply send in shock troops to capture slaves…before or after you bombard them. </p>
<p><strong>Intergalactice Combat</strong>  </p>
<p>Combat comes into 2 different forms: the first is combat between ships and starbases, the second is planetary invasions.</p>
<p>Starship battles occur when an enemy ship (or starbase) is detectable in normal space or in orbit. When combat issues (or while in orbit), the gameplay changes from turned-based to real-time. Ships may then commence with firing torpedoes and phasors. If a ship’s shield is down, the opposing ship may send in a boarding party to commence a hit-and-run tactic, capture the ship, or slaughter the lot. Capturing ships will enable you to detain prisoners, including the captured ship itself (if delivered to a Krellan Starfort), significantly increasing your mission ratings.</p>
<p>Planetary invasions consist of bombarding the planet with phasors and torpedoes (optional) to weaken its defenses and later sending in legions down to the planet to capture it. Planetary invasions may only be conducted in planets with intelligent life forms. Another option is to totally obliterate the planet, using obliterator pods...turning the planet into a dust of asteroids. <em>[Note: In earlier versions of Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander, planetary invasions does not work.]</em></p>

<p>A new force has emerged in the world. Known as the Nithos Shadow, it is targeting, for yet inexplicable reasons, a young man from the city of Galican. The High Council sees a connection there, and asks the hero to investigate the matter. Soon he discovers that the society of Nitherin Mages has tampered with forces of darkness, and their energy has transformed into seven talismans that must be discovered before they bring chaos and destruction to the world. The hero begins his journey, thinking of the mysterious bond between the mages and himself...</p>
<p><em>Nemesis: The Wizardry Adventure</em> is a spin-off of <em>Sir-Tech's</em> famous <a href="/search/?q=Wizardry">Wizardry series</a>. It is a hybrid game that incorporates elements of both puzzle-solving adventure and role-playing. The game is viewed from first-person perspective, with locations represented by pre-rendered background images, similarly to <a href="/search/?q=Myst">Myst</a>, though with animation during movement. A point-and-click interface is used to interact with the environment, talk to characters, and manipulate objects in order to solve puzzles.</p>
<p>The RPG element is much lighter than in the main <em>Wizardry</em> series. The hero starts with pre-determined statistics, but his weapon skills can be developed by equipping and continuously using the same type of weapon in combat. The hero also learns magical spells during the course of the game. Combat occurs in real time, as the player has to quickly select commands and click on the enemy in order to perform attacks.</p>

<p><em>Faery Tale Adventure II</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1129/microillusions/">MicroIllusions'</a> classic RPG. The three brothers, introduced in the first game, have been teleported to a foreign country where they have to save the local people from evil powers spreading in the once peaceful lands. The graphics resemble those in <a href="/search/?q=Ultima+VIII:+Pagan">Ultima VIII: Pagan</a> and the gaming world is large.</p>

<p>One of the least known Sierra game ever, Mega Math is the last title in short-lived Turbo Learning series. Kids will learn simple algebra through 3 mini games, and take tests to advance to the next level.</p>

<p><em>Battle Isle 2200</em> is the second title in Blue Byte's Battle Isle series. After a long space flight, the player arrives on the planet of Chromos and must save the planet's civilization from the Titan-net Empire. Titan-net, the computer overfiend of part one, and its allies have begun a devastating final campaign against all Drullian forces. The player commands the forces with the computer "military operations console", nicknamed MilOp.</p>
<p>Set in a futuristic world, players fight in turn-based scenarios against the computer army of Titan Net. The battlefield is organized in hex fields. Each time a battle takes place, a 3D polygon animation sequence is started and shows the results of the battle.</p>

<p>The evasive guardian Sheltem has once again escaped from relentless Corak and the six heroes of Terra who were helping him. The brave adventurers tried to pursue him on his journey through space, but were unable to reach the destination. Meanwhile, the distant world of Xeen is experiencing new troubles. A mysterious villain known as Lord Xeen has imprisoned Crodo, the local oversees, and is plotting to execute control over the land. A band of local adventurers becomes involved in the conflict and get to the bottom of the mystery.</p>
<p><em>Clouds of Xeen</em> is the fourth installment in the Might and Magic series, and a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1621/might-and-magic-iii-isles-of-terra/">Isles of Terra</a>. It utilizes the same graphics and interface as its predecessor, and is generally very similar to it in structure and gameplay. Among new features is the possibility to keep notes recording quests and important locations in the game, a separate inventory section for quest items, and two difficulty levels.</p>
<p>All over the game's world there are pyramids which work as teleporters as soon as part five of the series, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3424/might-and-magic-darkside-of-xeen/">Darkside of Xeen</a> is installed. The two games can be played simultaneously, merging into <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4321/might-and-magic-world-of-xeen/">World of Xeen</a>, which includes multiple cross-over quests in both installments.</p>

<p>Following the trail of Prince Roland, six brave adventurers venture into the Darkside, the other side of the world Xeen. There, a mysterious person who calls himself Lord Alamar has defeated the local queen and usurped her throne. Allies of the Dragon Pharaoh, the Guardian of Darkside, have either joined Alamar or perished in their resistance. The Guardian bestows his powers upon the adventurers, who must liberate Xeen and eventually help the space traveler Corak to finally destroy the corrupt Guardian Sheltem for good.</p>
<p><em>Darkside of Xeen</em> is the fifth installment of the Might and Magic, a direct sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3423/might-and-magic-clouds-of-xeen/">Clouds of Xeen</a>, and a completion of the overarching story arc that started in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1619/might-and-magic-book-one-secret-of-the-inner-sanctum/">first game</a>. The game uses the same engine and interface as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1621/might-and-magic-iii-isles-of-terra/">Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra</a>, and is nearly identical to its immediate predecessor gameplay-wise. Compared to earlier games, it has a darker and somewhat more bizarre setting, and dungeon exploration involves more puzzle-solving. It is also more plot-focused and has a larger number of cutscenes.</p>

<p>The world of Navan has many islands, and four of them are reigned by the powerful Druid brothers: Lawson, Curak, Havnar, and Astor. They worship different deities and try to maintain the harmony of nature on their islands. But one day, Lawson mysteriously disappears. Unable to solve the mystery, the brothers seek out you, a grandson of a once powerful Druid, to search for Lawson in the entire world of Navan.</p>
<p>The gameplay of <em>Druid</em> is somewhat similar to that of <a href="/search/?q=Ultima+VIII:+Pagan"> Ultima VIII: Pagan</a>. It is an action RPG with simple point-and-click interface and action-oriented combat. You can execute two different types of physical attacks (high and low) and cast a variety of spells. You don't have a party in the game.</p>

<p><em>Chagunitzu</em> is the predecessor of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/911/paganitzu/">Paganitzu</a>, and contains similar gameplay. The game is a top down puzzle game, where the player must push objects around and solve various puzzles. The player also has to watch out for enemies such as spiders.</p>

<p><em>Hyperspeed</em> is a space trading and combat simulation game, and a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1681/lightspeed/">Lightspeed</a>. The player controls a pilot who is sent on a mission to find a new home for humans, after the Earth has become nearly uninhabitable. The goal is to encounter alien species and negotiate with them to allow the colonization of a planet by the humans. To do that, the player has to engage in diplomatic talks and trading, and also fend off hostile aliens.</p>
<p>The gameplay mostly relies on the template introduced by <a href="/search/?q=Elite">Elite</a>: the player explores the galaxy piloting a space ship, encountering alien races, trading with them, and purchasing better weapons, shields, and engine for the space ship, helping the protagonist to survive in combat. There are four star clusters to explore, each one with its own difficulty level.</p>

<p><em>Starlord</em> is a game of exploration and conquest from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/17924/mike-singleton/">Mike Singleton</a>, the author of the similarly-focused <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1479/midwinter/">Midwinter</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Lords+Midnight">The Lords of Midnight</a>. As the title implies, Starlord is set in a science-fiction world, as opposed to the fantasy universes of those previous games.</p>
<p>Your family are Starlords of a single planet, but seek dominance of a vast space consisting of 1000 individually-ruled planets. If you are to come out on top you will have to manage resources across each of your starbases, using revenue to ensure enough fuel, food and minerals are available. Trade with other leaders and form tactical agreements.</p>
<p>To actually take over planets, you will have to lead your ships into space combat, which is played out in multiple-view 3D.</p>

<p>Sequel to the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Universal+Military+Simulator">Universal Military Simulator</a> of 1988, this release continues the game concept of its predecessor and allows the player total control of nearly every aspect of a battle.</p>
<p>In the original program, three scenarios are included: Invasion of the Allies in Normandy 1944, Battles of Alexander the Great in 334 B.C. and Napoleon´s greatest battles at Trafalgar, Austerlitz, Borodino and Waterloo.</p>
<p>Also included is the UMS Planet Edition which lets the player create their own scenarios.</p>

<p>Betrayal is a manager type strategy game. You try to gain control over various regions in order to supply your men with the necessary resources to defeat your enemies.</p>
<p>As the game title says, the game has a main focus on illegal and secret operations in order to weaken your opponents.</p>

<p><em>Elite Plus</em> is a VGA re-make of Bell and Braben's space trading flight simulator, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Elite">Elite</a>. It is an updated conversion of the original that features new graphics and sounds/music.</p>
<p>The novella included with this package is different from the one that came with the original <em>Elite</em> releases. This version includes the story 'Imprint' by Andy Redman, which formed the latter part of the manual, while the original <em>Elite</em> included <em>The Dark Wheel</em> by Robert Holdstock as a separate book.</p>

<p>Something bad has happened to the race of elves. Without provocation, they attack innocent people and are preparing to conquer the peaceful city of Thyn. The Count of Thyn needs somebody to go to the city of Cyldane and ask the local Count to send reinforcements. This task is given to the protagonist of the game, who has to recruit other adventurers to help him in dangerous battles. Soon the heroes will discover a greater evil behind the sudden insanity that plagues the elves, and will have to find a way to defeat it...</p>
<p><em>Legend of Faerghail</em> is a role-playing game with an interface similar to that of <a href="/search/?q=Bard's+Tale"> The Bard's Tale series</a>. The player explores towns, wilderness, and complex dungeons of the game from first-person perspective, fighting enemies in turn-based combat. The combat system requires the player to pay attention to the position of the characters in battle. For example, a mage will lose concentration and fail at spellcasting if he stands too close to the enemy.</p>

<p>The Northern lands of the realm of Arkania are in trouble. The orc tribes, previously scattered and unorganized, have been united under strong leadership and are planning a large-scale attack on human settlements. A sword known as Grimring, or the Blade of Destiny, is the only weapon powerful enough to defeat the orcish chief and his minions. However, the whereabouts of the sword are unknown, with only one treasure map torn into pieces providing a clear clue. Hetman Tronde Torbensson, the leader of Thorwal, hires a party of adventurers to find the map pieces, locate the sword, and stop the invasion of the orcs - all within two years.</p>
<p><em>Blade of Destiny</em> is the first in the row of role-playing games based on the German pen-and-paper RPG system <em>Das Schwarze Auge</em> ("The Dark Eye"). The player generates a party of six characters divided into "archetypes", which combine characteristics of classes and fantasy races. Alongside seven "positive" attributes (such as strength, wisdom, etc.) commonly encountered in RPGs, each character also possesses "negative" attributes, which include various phobias as well as traits such as avarice or violent temper, all of which affect the character's behavior and reaction during the course of the game. In addition, each character has skills ranging from weapon proficiency to lying and knowledge of geography.</p>
<p>The game itself takes place in pseudo-3D environments. Towns and dungeons are explored by moving through those environments from first-person view. However, monsters do not appear within them and each hostile encounter takes the player to a separate isometric battle screen. Battles are turn-based and tactical, allowing navigation on the field as well as taking into account details such as the direction the combatants are facing, their current physical state, etc. Traveling between towns and other areas of interest is done on a 2D map. Characters eventually become hungry and tired, and can also get sick, so travel planning and provisions are essential.</p>

<p>The united orc tribes have attempted to invade the region of Thorwal, but their plans were foiled by a group of valiant adventurers during their earlier <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3437/realms-of-arkania-blade-of-destiny/">quest</a>. However, the orcs have regrouped and are planning to attack another, more vulnerable area. An elf ambassador summons the party to the city of Kvirasim. It appears that an artifact known as the Salamander Stone has to be recovered in order to unite the races of the elves and the dwarves in the struggle against a common enemy. Yet not everything is as simple as it seems: as the party advances towards an abandoned dwarven mine that may hold the answers to their questions, someone else makes it clear that cooperation between the two races is not desired by everyone in the country.</p>
<p><em>Star Trail</em> is the second installment in a German-made role-playing series based on the RPG system <em>Das Schwarze Auge</em> ("The Dark Eye"). Visually and gameplay-wise, the game is very similar to its predecessor, with its pseudo-3D towns and dungeons, isometric battle screens, detailed options for tactical combat, as well as skill-based character creation and advancement. The sequel offers more side quests as well as more personalized and varied events during the party's travels, which often compel the player to make choices.</p>

<p>Orcs have overrun the countryside of the small coast town of Riva. A dwarven mine in the countryside has been occupied by a mysterious orc chieftain who seems to be of an unusually high intelligence. For an inexplicable reason, the city authorities refuse to acknowledge the danger. And rumors of a group of traitors in the city's slum districts surface. A party of adventurers arrives in the town and tries to investigate these troublesome occurrences.</p>
<p><em>Shadows over Riva</em> is the third and final part in the <a href="/search/?q=Realms+of+Arkania+/+Das+Schwarze+Auge+series">Realms of Arkania</a> trilogy, and the only one shipped exclusively on CD-ROM and featuring SVGA graphics as well as a smooth-scrolling 3D world. All other aspects of the game are very similar to its predecessors: the player generates a party of characters of various classes, roams the game world from a first-person view, and engages in turn-based combat displayed on separate isometric screens. Changes mostly include fine-tuning such as a more streamlined inventory management and integration of area graphics into battle screens.</p>
<p>Unlike its predecessors, the game is set entirely in the town of Riva and its immediate surroundings. The prominent traveling-related gameplay features of the series are therefore reduced in this installment. However, the town itself is noticeably larger than any settlement in the previous games and acts as a hub location connecting various areas. Full-screen hand-drawn cutscenes serve to advance the plot.</p>

<p><em>The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel</em> is a verb-based point-and-click graphic adventure game.</p>
<p>London, 1888. Sherlock Holmes, the world’s most famous private investigator, and his faithful companion Dr. Watson are called to the scene of a gruesome crime: a young actress has been murdered in an alley behind her theatre. Not surprisingly, Scotland Yard’s Inspector Lestrade is clueless. Was it the work of the Ripper? Sherlock Holmes is not so sure -- the circumstantial evidence indicates a much more intricate crime. The shrewd detective begins the hunt.</p>
<p><em>The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes</em> is a classical crime story with two protagonists. In the role of Sherlock Holmes, you travel through London in search of clues. Interesting locations are gradually added to a city map. Your most important source of information are dialogues with suspects, witnesses, and other people – and with Dr. Watson, who will readily comment on the situation. When talking to persons, you may choose one of several lines that seems most appropriate. Watson notes down all conversations in his journal, where you can access them if needed. True to the novels, Holmes will solve many puzzles through sharp observations and thorough searches of every location (thus discovering clues and deducing connections) as well as clever interrogations.</p>
<p>Readers of the Sherlock Holmes stories will recognize many acquaintances, from Lestrade to Miss Hudson, from Inspector Gregson to Toby the hound. The game's introduction, cutscenes, and ending feature digitized speech.</p>

<p>An alien race known as the Skeetch is threatening humanity and the peace in the entire galaxy. The human organization Newfront has launched a Protostar Initiative in an attempt to convince four alien races to join the humans in their battle against the Skeetch.</p>
<p><em>Protostar: War on the Frontier</em> is a space trading/exploration game in the same mold as <a href="/search/?q=Starflight">Starflight</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Star+Control">Star Control</a> series. The player can scour planet surfaces for resources, discover new planets and creatures and name them, use diplomacy, barter and trade with aliens, wage war against hostile races, find new crew members, and improve the financial situation of human organizations.</p>

<p>This turn-based C&amp;C/X-Com hybrid puts you in command of an extensive array of modern-day sounding troops, needing to play battle after battle against the merciless hordes of fantastical creatures (orcs, elves, skeletons, etc.) in an attempt to save the world. As the game progresses your selection of troops increase and you, hopefully, gain rank and lead your troops into trickier and trickier battles. Only you can save mankind!</p>

<p>Track Attack is a futuristic 3D racing game in the style of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2208/hi-octane/">Hi-Octane</a>. The player races through futuristic cities and tunnels trying to beat their opponents. This game also features damage, and some special upgrades. Perhaps the most innovative feature is the Dynamic Track System, which allows the 39 circuits to change during the race. There are arrows the player can drive over which make the track behind them change for their opponent (obstacles popping up for example), therefore making it harder for a driver to catch up.</p>

<p>If you want to fly a modern passenger jet then this is the sort of game for you. This is a serious simulation of flying which was developed in corporation with Lufthansa and Deutsche Airbus. The flying area includes most of Western Europe with about 80 airports. 
During gameplay, you have to fly a specified route and navigate yourself by using the supplied map. There is also a training mode available.</p>

<p>The <a href="/search/?q=Battle+Chess">Battle Chess series</a> took the basic game of chess and added animations for each battle between pieces, bringing the game to a wider audience, with no intention of providing something for Kasparov to spar with. This edition follows the same premise, but with a futuristic science-fiction feel. Pieces are animated from clay models, with a new range of animations. The game can be played in 2D mode as an alternative.</p>
<p>The game's artificial intelligence learns your strategies and game plan as it plays with you, and there are over 30,000 distinct moves in the library of openings.</p>

<p>You have just been accepted manager in a new European Super League to a team of your choice. There are over a hundred different teams to manage from all over Europe, and it is fun to take teams from minnow countries to the Serie A.</p>

<p>This game is based on <a href="/search/?q=Paratrooper">the original Paratrooper game</a>, but has some new features, like a 2-player-mode for example. Also the graphics and sounds are new.</p>

<p>You drive a tank to complete a special mission, namely to destroy the new type of torpedoes, which are not launched from a submarine, but from a torpedo-house...</p>
<p>You start out with a side view of a tank, at the left end of a long side-scrolling battlefield, and have to navigate your tank to the right end without touching any obstacles or being hit by enemy fire. The obstacles include exploding barrels, shallow ditches, narrow streams, turret-mounted cannons, and enemy tanks. Once you reach the middle of the screen, it starts scrolling with the progress of your tank, keeping you centered.</p>
<p>The soft targets can be demolished with the machine gun, while the hard targets require the main gun. Firing the main gun is followed by a reloading time, during which you cannot fire it for a few seconds. The machine gun however can be fired with no interruptions, becoming the bane of all barrels.</p>
<p>The movement of your tank is controlled by the cursor keys; moving sideways using the up/down keys, and accelerate right by holding down the right arrow key. 
You brake with the left arrow key, and fire machine gun and main gun with ctrl-key &amp; space bar. The tank can only move forward on the field, not reverse, with sideways movements required to point your tanks fixed guns onto a target, or navigate a bridge. The tank cannot turn, instead it slides sideways while also moving forwards, so the challenge is to go slow enough that you can position the tank in line of your objective before getting too close and avoid possible return fire by quickly sliding sideways.</p>
<p>Your tank is not very sturdy, unfortunately: it cannot touch any barrels, or it explodes. It cannot cross any ditches or streams, or it overturns without a bridge. Neither can it resist a single enemy round, so the main task is one of survival, not so much offence. While the enemy tanks have mastered the art of shallow ditch climbing, they still cannot turn/slide sideways, likewise as the fixed turret guns they always fire in one direction, so it is possible to evade even these somewhat mobile enemies.</p>

<p>Point and click adventure taking place in the England of King Arthur. You're Gawain, a knight who has to save the kingom of the evil witch Morganna. </p>
<p>The game also features some fighting scenes, which you can do yourself or let the computer do for you.</p>
<p>The graphics are pre-rendered, as well your character.</p>

<p>In <em>Angel Devoid: Face of the Enemy</em>, which is set in the futuristic NeoCity of the year 3032, the player takes the role of Jack Hard, a cop whose life goal is to hunt the criminal Angel Devoid. After an accident during a car chase he awakens in an hospital - only to find out that his face was operated to look like his eternal enemy. Now he is a wanted man...</p>
<p>The controls of the game are similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/283/the-7th-guest/">The 7th Guest</a>: in a first-perspective view the player clicks on interactive items and a video clip shows the result. The game is designed to give an expression of the time pressure the protagonist is under - he has to react fast or he dies. This is also true when meeting other characters; in many situations Jack needs to use his gun to avoid being killed. Often he runs into conversations with people and robots instead of shooting them directly; then the player doesn't choose the exact answer but only the mood (aggressive, passive or normal) Jack answers in. The wrong approach may result in death. </p>
<p>The protagonist can't walk freely through the city; the game consists of several single screens which have to be left by clicking on an exit, followed by a walking animation. There are quite a few places to visit, e.g. bars or a museum, but choosing the wrong path or hot spot generally leads to an instant death. There are also a few basic inventory-based puzzles to solve.</p>

Sound, Graphics & Aircraft Upgrade for Microsoft Flight Simulator

<p>This is an update to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2103/microsoft-flight-simulator-v40/">Microsoft Flight Simulator (v4.0)</a> which includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Four new aircraft types: Concorde SST, P-51D, Laird Turner Meteor Racer and Spectrum Beaver RX 550 Ultralight.</li>
<li>New sound and speech (for control tower and flight instructor).</li>
<li>Higher resolution graphics and instrument panel detail.</li>
</ul>

<p>You have been recruited for Operation Wolf, a desperate attempt to rescue prisoners from the enemy. Through a series of missions, you'll engage a variety of enemies, from soldiers to ninjas, patrol boats to helicopters, and more. Can you carry the day?</p>
<p><em>Operation Wolf</em> is an arcade game by Taito. It is essentially a bitmapped "rail-shooter", where you basically hold the gun and shoot just about everything that moves, while conserving your ammo and grenades. Shoot ammo/grenades and healing items on the screen to "pick them up". Your primary machine gun can kill everything if you hit it enough times, but you can also use the grenade launcher for really deadly targets like helicopters or armored cars. You can collect a machine gun which will allow you to shoot faster for a few seconds. </p>
<p>You'll be pummelled by a LOT of enemies. Some will be shooting, others will be tossing grenades, knifes, and more. Some are armored and requires more than a few hits, others dodges. You can shoot grenades and knifes out of the air if you aim well enough. There are also civilians running around which can be shot, but it's not beneficial. </p>
<p>Bosses appear at the end of some levels, and each has a specific weakness you need to exploit.</p>

<p>In this game, you guide a marker which must draw rectangles and other weird objects in order to claim your territory, and you can either draw these rectangles fast or slow. Drawing the rectangles using the "slow" method awards you the most points. Once a rectangle has been made, it will be colored in to show that you have claimed your territory. While drawing the rectangles, you need to watch out for Qix (pronounced "kicks"), a series of colored lines that crawl the screen. In addition to Qix, you also need to avoid the Sparks who travel around the border, as well as any lines that you have made, as well as The Fuse, who travels along the line that you are drawing. Once you have claimed enough territory, you proceed to the next level.</p>

<p>One of the plethora of multimedia video-streaming games that came out upon the advent of the CD-drive, <em>Psycho Killer</em> casts the player into the role of an unnamed male protagonist, who was one day driving through the countryside on a cold autumn day, and suddenly saw an escaped killer chasing a woman. Now the hero must figure out a way to find the killer and stop him.</p>
<p><em>Psycho Killer</em> is an adventure game with the interaction restricted to "jumping" from picture to picture, occasionally clicking on the screen in order to find objects that are possible to interact with. As in other interactive movies, some parts presented as video sequences, during which the player has to make the correct action quickly in order to succeed.</p>

<p><em>Chess!</em> was originally released as shareware under the name <em>EdChess</em>.</p>
<p>This game has the following features:* A command line parameter to play in monochrome</p>
<ul>
<li>Different skill settings for the AI opponent</li>
<li>A board editing function so that the player can use the game to solve chess problems</li>
<li>A save/load function</li>
<li>The computer can optionally be allowed to reference a book of standard openings</li>
</ul>
<p>The player can either play against the computer or watch the computer play itself.</p>

<p><em>Corncob Deluxe</em> takes place in an alternative history where World War II never happened. But all is not well. Instead of fighting Nazis, the world must deal with an even more deadly enemy...aliens.</p>
<p>You take control of the Corsair "Corncob" and fight off the invaders in this sci-fi air-combat simulation.</p>

<p><em>Gauntlet II</em> is very similar to <a href="/search/?q=Gauntlet">its predecessor</a>. Up to four players (a wizard, a warrior, an elf, and a valkyrie) make their way through various mazes, collect treasures and magic potions, and fend off assorted creatures and ghosts.</p>

<p>The President of the USA and other heads of state were kidnapped! It's up to you as a special investigator to find them. In this text-based adventure mystery you must wade through piles of information, and send agents into the field to investigate suspects, all in the hopes of catching the culprits and saving the world leaders.</p>

<p>You are a Space Marshall, investigating a distress call from the colony Delta 5-5.</p>
<p>As you approach the planet, your ship comes in contact with a gravity well, and crash-lands. The landing drained your ship of all but minimal power, stranding you.</p>
<p>After putting on your Power Armor, navigating the planet's surface and stepping into the Colony itself, you must uncover what has happened to the colonists, restore power to your ship, and, optionally, rescue the colonist's children.</p>

<p><em>Donald Duck's Playground</em> won several awards from educational software magazines as best educational game of the year. In it, you are Donald, working to earn money, which you then spend to buy playground equipment for your nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie to enjoy.</p>
<p>The first job is to guide the Amquack Express around a top-down map with 8 stations, setting the junctions to ensure that packages are delivered to the correct stations. His job in produce involves catching fruits as they are thrown at him and placing them in the correct basket. At the toy store he must sort items by shape and colour, and be careful with the security switch. His final job is at an internal US airport, soring products based on their location's delivery code.</p>
<p>The equipment for the playground must then be purchased and arranged, helping young minds get an appreciation of money management and cash-handling.</p>

<p>Sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/952/star-trek-25th-anniversary/">Star Trek: 25th Anniversary</a>, <em>Star Trek: Judgment Rites</em> brings back the entire Enterprise crew in eight new episodes. Strange things are happening in distant space, such as dead planets spawning life and WW1 planes in outer space. You need to survive these situations.</p>
<p>You must navigate your way through space, and send away teams onto planets to investigate situations, communicate with other characters and solve puzzles. Unlike the previous game, action sequences are optional.</p>

<p><em>King's Quest: Collector's Edition</em> is an earlier version of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1857/kings-quest-collection-series/">King's Quest: Collection Series</a> which contains:</p>
<ul>
</ul>
<p>It also contains a preview of:* <a href="/search/?q=Roberta+Williams'+King's+Quest+VII:+The+Princeless+Bride+">Kings Quest VII</a></p>
<p>Additionally, it includes a bunch of small programs, like a checkers game and a trivia game.</p>

<p>In a show of corporate pettiness, your target in this game is <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/8579/apple-inc/">Apple Computers</a>' manufacturing base. <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/102376/steve-jobs/">Steve Jobs</a> was prepared for this seemingly-unlikely occurrence, and has a fleet of fighters out to shoot you down. Be careful to stay within the earth's atmosphere, and use your 35 bombs and 60 lasers wisely, dropping bombs on the structures and shooting down the enemy fleet. After the plant is destroyed the game loops. It was written in BASIC, and all graphics in the game are ASCII characters.</p>

<p>Eric Fox is a psychic who lives in San Francisco and earns his living performing magic shows in seedy nightclubs. This changes when Eric meets Laina, a mysterious woman who trains him to venture inside other people's minds. Laina then hires Eric as a private detective to travel into the minds of the people who attend a wake held in honor of her father, which has died under unclear circumstances.</p>
<p><em>Psychic Detective</em> is an interactive movie with adventure elements. The player can choose people whose minds Eric is able to read, and also interact with objects for further insight into the storyline. Many of these decisions and interaction choices branch the storyline, leading it to different endings; one of these endings is reached if the player chooses not to interact at all and lets the movie unfold by itself.</p>

<p>One puck, and only two competitors. One is the computer, and the other is, of course, you. You get a chance to match your skills at this Air Hockey style game, over 'Cantina Band' inspired music. Deflect the puck around the walled area using your bat, trying to knock it into your opponent's goal.</p>
<p>There are several competitors, from which some of them definitely cheat, so be prepared to be laughed at. However, you can cheat as well, as you can resize your stick to fill the whole table width, or add one in the middle, and see who breaks glass first. There are single plays or the tournament where you play opponents in order of difficulty. The winner is the one who reaches 15 glassbreaks first.</p>

<p><em>Titan</em> is a 2D arcade game / puzzle game hybrid.</p>
<p>For some reason, mad professors of the future tend to invent strange entertainment games in which every participant dies. Professor Hybrys’ variant is called <em>Titan</em> and involves a ball, a control unit and 80 labyrinths. Your objective is either to destroy all destructible blocks in each level by hitting them with the sphere, or to pilot it to the exit. The black ball is beyond your control; it will bounce straight or diagonally through the labyrinth with constant speed. You move the control unit, a small box, with you are to position in a way that the ball bounces off it in the desired direction. You can also catch the sphere by quickly moving over it, and then release it in a direction of your choice.</p>
<p>The labyrinths not only contain harmless, destructible blocks, but also increasingly difficult hazards. If the sphere or your control unit hit a skull symbol, one of your nine lives is lost. Teleporters exchange the position of you and the ball, wall pieces can be pushed around or destroyed by your unit, floor tiles will grow into walls when you pass over them too often. The high game speed can be slowed down by holding the space key – a very useful option in tricky situations.</p>
<p><em>Titan</em> mixes an arcade game foundation (requiring quick reflexes and good nerves) with puzzle game elements (requiring logical thinking to beat the complex levels). The challenge is to control the sphere accurately, yet indirectly.</p>

<p>Illwhyrin, the witch queen of Char, has been vanquished, her lair Witchaven destroyed, and the curse that plagued the land is finally lifted. However, shortly afterwards the valiant hero Grondoval the Witchbane is contacted by a mysterious golden dragon, who tells him that Illwhyrin's sister Cirae-Argoth is coming to avenge her death. Demonic legions abduct the princess Elizabeth along with other people from Grondoval's homeland Stazhia. It's time for the hero to embark on an even more dangerous journey, rescue the innocents, and defeat the evil witch.</p>
<p>Like its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3318/witchaven/">predecessor</a>, <em>Witchaven II: Blood Vengeance</em> is a medieval fantasy-themed first-person action game. The gameplay is similar to that of the previous game, with a few additions. The protagonist is now able to fight with two weapons at once (one in each hand), as well as equip shields. The sequel also includes a <em>Build</em> engine level editor that allows players to create their own stages.</p>

<p><em>The Great Escape</em> is an isometric action-adventure game. Controlling a prisoner of war in a German camp, your goal is to break out undetected. There are numerous ways to freedom – back doors, cracked fences, even underground tunnels. However, you have to plan your escape while obeying the strict rules of the camp. </p>
<p>Number one: Daily program. You have to attend two roll calls a day, one meal, one exercise, and stay in bed at night. Failure to appear at any of these events will result in the alarm being rung. When you do not touch the controls, your protagonist will move automatically, going to all important events. You have to detect and use gaps in the time-table to explore the camp. </p>
<p>Rule number two: guard rooms are off limits. If a soldier catches you in a room that is forbidden, you will be placed in solitary confinement. Of course, you have to enter restricted parts of the camp to find items crucial for your escape. The moral flag will turn from green to red to indicate that you are in an area where you shouldn’t be. </p>
<p>Rule number three: no prisoner may carry forbidden objects. When you are caught in a suspicious situation, you will be stripped of all items that you found so far. To avoid that, you have to deposit objects in a safe place. You need to find keys to open locked doors, uniforms for camouflage, flashlights to see in dark tunnels, and many more. </p>
<p>Rule number four: guard commands are to be obeyed at all times. The German soldiers patrol on fixed routes and have a line of sight. You have to learn the guard’s routes and sneak past their backs to avoid detection when breaking out. If you are caught, your morale will decrease. If your morale reaches zero, your will to escape is broken.</p>

<p><em>Taco Bell</em> is a first-person 3D action game serving as an advertisement for the North American chain of fast-food restaurants. The player controls Baja Bill, who explores the temple of a lost jungle civilization, battling snakes and scorpions with hot and wild sauce. Taco Bell food is used to replenish the protagonist's health as well.</p>

<p>A medieval history lecturer named Wil Mason has been transported to the fantasy world of Middlemere, which is ruled by four rival brothers. Wil's aim is to find the secret to how he was transported here and discover a way back.</p>
<p><em>Obitus</em> is a role-playing game with action elements. It utilizes a first-person view for exploration, similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/834/dungeon-master/">Dungeon Master</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/835/eye-of-the-beholder/">Eye of the Beholder</a>. One of the more remarkable features is in the first-person mode: rather than having just 4 directs to face and flicking between them, there are 8 directions and the view scrolls smoothly as you turn. This smooth scrolling continues when you move forward, giving the game more of a 3D feel.</p>
<p>The action elements consist of horizontal scrolling areas where you fight enemies with your bow while avoiding their attacks. Later you encounter a similar type of gameplay that involves exploring castles and adds 4 directional movement.</p>

<p>Based on the later parts of the <em>Dragonlance</em> book <em>Dragons of Autumn Twilight</em>, the heroes descend into a ruined city in search of the disks of Mishakal.</p>
<p>The gameplay consists of horizontal fighting with a maze like map using doors to change the view. The party consists of the 8 Heroes of the Lance, using one at a time and the player can switch between them at any time. Each character has different types of attacks and spells making them more suited to fighting different enemies as well as acting as lives.</p>
<p>One of the <em>AD&amp;D</em> games that takes a break from the usual RPG style.</p>

<p>Cornelius the Elf was living peacefully in a forest with his sweetheart Elisa. However, an evil creature known as Necrilous the Not-Very-Nice kidnapped Elisa and disappeared with her. Cornelius must embark on a perilous journey to rescue the love of his life.</p>
<p><em>Elf</em> is a platform action game with light adventure elements. Cornelius is armed with a ring that fires projectiles at enemies. During the course of the game he can collect herbs and animals (called "pets"), which can be traded in shops for upgrades such as stronger attacks, extra speed, magic spells, or devices such as a flying machine. In addition, certain segments require the player to communicate with NPCs populating the game world and fulfill their requests, usually by obtaining specific items for them. </p>
<p>The game keeps track of the player character's behavior, assigning the player a rating and affecting the ending scene depending on the protagonist's actions, which mainly involve killing or sparing the lives of the game's non-hostile characters. The protagonist's health is measured in hearts and lives, which can be replenished or increased. The player can save the game between stages.</p>

<p>A clone of the original <a href="/search/?q=Robotron:+2084">Robotron</a>, Llamatron uses the same principle but ups the action level, graphics and sound. For those who haven't played Robotron, the aim is simply to control you character (in this case a llama), shoot all the various monsters and rescue all the innocents (sheep). </p>
<p>Your weapon is always on automatic fire and you shoot in the direction you are facing but if you hold the fire button it locks the gun in that direction allowing you to move around. Various power-ups are presented to you during the game and two-player support is also in there.</p>

<p>The land of Trazere was once ruled by the powerful and benevolent organization of mages known as <em>Bloodwych</em>. Governed by the Grand Dragon, the Bloodwych supervised over the balance in the land, protecting it from evil and driving it to prosperity. However, the second-in-command of Bloodwych, named Zendick, turned against his group, banished his opponents to the astral plane, and began working on a mad plan - summon the ultimate evil, the Lord of Entropy. The player controls the champion of Trazere, whose ultimate goal is to stop Zendick and restore peace in the country.</p>
<p><em>Bloodwych</em> is an RPG in the style of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/834/dungeon-master/">Dungeon Master</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/835/eye-of-the-beholder/">Eye of the Beholder</a>, being a 3D first-person maze-like game. This game's distinguishing feature is the two-player split screen support, allowing simultaneous playing on one computer.</p>
<p>Each player controls a party of four characters. The four basic classes are warrior, mage, adventurer, and thief; however, each class also has sub-classes, which are represented by four different colors. These colors come into play also when the characters learn and combine spells.</p>

<p><em>Troddlers</em> is a puzzle game in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Lemmings">Lemmings</a>. The player takes control of an animal-like wizard who can create and remove blocks; these blocks are useful for both jumping onto and redirecting the path of the little Troddlers that you have to direct towards the exit. The tricky bit is that the Troddlers can climb walls and ceilings, following the edge of the world and the exit is often in the middle of the screen or with an obstacle in the way.</p>

<p>Play/Manage a team of either some of the greatest teams ever from 1901-1968, or the best of the best on each team, with a total of 2000 players to choose from, each ranked in 134 different categories. If that's not enough, you can create your own teams/leagues and set how each computer manager manages, team colors, and so on.</p>
<p>You can play at classic or modern ballparks with realistic dimensions. Wind is a factor in the baseball game; lots of home runs or a no hitter? Ron Barr calls the plays as they unfold, while jumbo screen replays also help you analyze performances. The game aims to allow you to answer the 'What If's of baseball.</p>

<p>Save or develop the rainforest in a variety of different scenarios ranging over 40 different isles with different people to hire with environmental concerns. Includes custom isles.</p>

<p>Frigid winter winds swept over an already chilled Gotham City. Random street crimes were running at an all-time high,despite the holidays. Down below, in the city's frozen sewers, Oswald Cobblepot, known as The Penguin, planned more mayhem and schemed the take over of the frightened metropolis. His loyal army of missile-packing Penguin Commandos and the bizarre Red Triangle Circus Gang are energized by the evil genius of the web-footed orphan. A desperate call to Batman goes up.</p>
<p><em>Batman Returns</em> is an adventure game with fighting sequences (controled using attack icons of equipped weapons), based on the movie of the same name. Control Batman's combat style, and help conduct relentless interrogations of The Penguins' many allies. Use the Batcave computer to input clues, analyze evidence and review enemy bios. TV news is available in the Batcave as well as in the Batmobile and broadcasts important information that is crucial if it comes to figuring out where to go next in order to find another lead. You're in charge of weapons, too. Stock Batman's Utility belt with enough heat to match the diverse fighting styles of The Penguin and his cold-blooded, sewer-dwelling minions.</p>
<p>The game is divided into several days during which some events happen. The player has full control over the moment when the day should end. In order to complete the game, the player has to gather enough evidence before the Penguin will be elected for the mayor.</p>

<p>Based on the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa and officially licenced by player of the tournament Jonah Lomu, this game plays as more of an arcade style of gameplay rather than a sports simulation. Players can compete in the full World Cup, a round-robin league, or a knock-out cup.</p>
<p>The 32 included teams range from the All Blacks of New Zealand and Springboks of South Africa to minnows such as Namibia and Hong Kong, neither of which qualified for the final stages.</p>

<p>The player takes the role of a humanoid stranded on an alien planet, who quickly becomes involved in a war between the planet's natives and the Dak, who want to invade the whole place.
The only chance to escape the planet is to help these guys thwart the invasion.</p>
<p><em>Alien Odyssey</em> consists of four levels with two different gameplay principles: The first is a third-person mode similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/561/bioforge/">BioForge</a> with action fights in which you need to use melee attacks or firearms to kill your enemies. There are also various commands for movements and dodging available. In this mode the player also needs to solve simple puzzles like using keycards (well, more severed robot hands) to progress or finding out which objective to blow up next.</p>
<p>The other two levels are rail shooter sequences a la <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/272/star-wars-rebel-assault/">Rebel Assault</a> in which the action consists of aiming and shooting down enemies. In the second of those levels the player also has to rotate his ship to dodge.</p>

<p>The <em>Signature Edition</em> is an improved version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1275/jack-nicklaus-unlimited-golf-course-design/">Jack Nicklaus' Unlimited Golf &amp; Course Design</a>. The game and course design interface are fairly similar so there is no learning curve if you've played the first, but now the graphics and sound are greatly improved. The Signature Edition could also play courses created for Unlimited Golf, and the terrain would be improved but objects remained in the original more limited color palette.
Two golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus are included :</p>
<ul>
<li>Sherwood Country Club</li>
<li>English Turn Golf &amp; Country Club</li>
</ul>

<p>Originating in the arcades, <em>Cabal</em> is a shooter where the protagonist runs back and forth along the bottom of the screen, ducking and dodging bullets and grenades from the enemy. The roll maneuver from the arcade was not implemented in the PC version. The player returns fire by moving a target around the screen which also moves the player character and may expose him to enemy fire. </p>
<p>The enemies throughout the five levels come thick and fast and there are many of them. They include normal foot soldiers, tanks, helicopters and end of level bosses such as submarines and war machines. Just about everything on the screen can be blown up or shot. There are bonus points to be picked up for destroying buildings and weapons to be picked up from the enemy, such as machine guns and shotguns. Two-player mode is available.</p>

<p><em>X-Men: Children of the Atom</em> is a 2D fighting game and the first Capcom title to use licensed characters from the <a href="/search/?q=Marvel">Marvel</a> comic universe. It has six main characters and four of their enemies that are playable. The X-Men are Colossus, Cyclops, Iceman, Psylocke, Storm and Wolverine. The villains are Omega Red, Sentinel, Silver Samurai and Spiral. The two main bosses are Juggernaut and Magneto, and Akuma is available as a secret character.</p>
<p>Fighting is done one-on-one with a traditional best-two-out-of-three match setup, with automatic or manual blocking. Similar to the Super Combo gauge in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1159/super-street-fighter-ii-turbo/">Super Street Fighter II Turbo</a> there is an X-Power gauge of different levels, filled up when the player performs moves. When it is maxed out an X-Ability or Hyper X special move can be performed. Other general features are the abilities to super jump, roll away and aiming projectiles.</p>

<p>The follow up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/492/links-the-challenge-of-golf/">Links - The Challenge of Golf</a>, <em>Links 386 Pro</em> features <em>Harbour Town Golf Links</em> course. Numerous improvements included photo-realistic SVGA graphics, improved physics, split screens, male/female golfers with different shirt colors, and enhanced sound effects.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/24436/links-386-cd/">CD version</a> was released later, it added hole flybys with commentary (for certain courses).</p>

<p><em>Aftershock for Quake</em> is an unofficial add-on for <a href="/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a>. It contains a handful of single-player and deathmatch levels, as well as a <em>Quake</em> level editor and a selection of hints &amp; cheats for the original version.</p>

<p>The year is 2048 AD. In Russia, the evil Grand Master Meio has begun his insane plot to take over the universe. A lone figure drops from a stealth glider into Meio's base. He is Hiryu, Super A-Class Strider. His mission is to defeat the Grand Master and put an end to his plotting once and for all.</p>
<p><em>Strider</em> lets the protagonist run, jump, perform acrobatics and climb walls and overhangs. He wields a plasma sword, called a Cypher, through five levels fighting robots and guards, with mid- and end-level bosses.</p>

<p>The land of Lotland, inhabited by many different races, was once threatened by the giant dragon Pursival. Five heroes - Gelman, Moss, Loslorien, Lutania, and Metara - joined forces to defeat the beast in the Last Dungeon of Grun, each earning a kingdom for themselves as a reward. </p>
<p>Many years have passed, and the king of Gelman ordered an extermination of the Dark Elves. Unbeknownst to him, two of them have survived and sworn revenge against the entire Lotland, claiming the power of the vanquished dragon. Blade, the young Knight Prince of Moss, must find companions among dwarves, elves, and humans, in order to venture into Grun once again and put an end to Pursival's might.</p>
<p><em>Legend of the Ancient Dragon</em> is a Korean-made role-playing game in predominantly Japanese style. The player navigates a party of heroes through overhead environments, encountering non-player characters in populated areas and fighting enemies in turn-based combat. Each companion belongs to a defined class and has access to different weaponry and magic spells.</p>

<p>You are Werner Von Wallenrod, an orphan living in a realm lost in time. You leave to travel across these lands and meet fantastically surreal characters who help you in your quest for truth. Your father was assassinated by the Devil's Horseman, Haagen Von Kiakonov, who has vowed to destroy everything you know and love. Just before your father died, he was able to entrust you with a farmer in the kingdom, but now the hour has arrived for you to take up arms and defend your country. </p>
<p>Inexperienced in the art of combat, you must prove yourself all throughout the voyage that awaits you.</p>

<p>Imperium is a game of galactic conquest similiar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Master+of+Orion">Master of Orion</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2021/stars/">Stars!</a>.</p>
<p>It features depth and strategy, and good AI. In-game graphics are rare. The game mainly uses written statistics.</p>

<p><em>Don't Go Alone</em> is a horror role-playing game.</p>
<p>The player can choose their party from a variety of 16 paranormal characters available. With their party they'll investigate a haunted house on a hill.</p>
<p>The house is huge and players will encounter over 100 spooky opponents and solve various puzzles in order to find out the mysteries of the haunted house. An automap feature helps prevent the player from losing track in the huge dungeons of the game.</p>

<p>The land of Mezron is in turmoil. The evil wizard Azazael has been resurrected and is now on the search for five gems which will grant him ultimate Power. You are a adventurer that has the task to stop the wizard. On your way you'll face medusas, evil cults of priestesses and many undead foes.</p>
<p>The game features a 3D view of the world, which can be explored step by step like in many RPGs of the time, e.g. <a href="/search/?q=Bard's+Tale">Bard's Tale</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/834/dungeon-master/">Dungeon Master</a>.</p>

<p><em>The Hidden Below</em> ("THB") involves finding a large army of evil aliens under a factory, and sending them back to where they came from. </p>
<p>The custom built engine used for the game, the "VR-6" engine, can be described as a hybrid of the "Wolf3D" and "Doom" engines, in some ways more advanced than the later but in some ways being more akin to the former.</p>
<p>Features in THB include VGA graphics, several resolutions with the ability to set height and width separately (80/160/320x240/400), stairs, diagonally angled walls, slopes, teleporters, switches, damaging terrain, controllable security cameras, crouching, light levels, flickering lights, rendered cut scenes, targeting assist’s, auto map providing pickups, ambient sounds and the ability to look up and down. The game also keeps a score and displays the best on a high score table.</p>
<p>In terms of content, THB has 20 large levels with radically changing texture themes, 40 different opponents with individual AI (though this includes a number of re-coloured opponents) and 14 different weapon systems.</p>
<p>The run and gun in THB is considerably slower paced than the above mentioned games, relying more on each individual bad guy being of high toughness and limited amounts of health pickups, rather than large numbers of foes.</p>
<p>The visuals of THB are a little disjointed having been done in several different styles from gritty to cell shaded, digitized to hand drawn etc.</p>
<p>The sound is stated as being 16bit, though the game actually has three different quality settings for sound effects.</p>

<li>stealth bombing</li>
<li>stealth reconnaissance</li>
<li>test pilot</li>
</ul>
<p>An autopilot mode is available for longer cruises, if the enemies are far off. The 'test pilot' mission involves flying the X-15/X-29 and is not a part of the campaign.</p>

<p>In this sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2831/mad-tv/">Mad TV</a> you take control over a TV station, where you are responsible for all aspects of daily work: employees, the TV schedule, advertisements.</p>
<p>The graphics of the game are cartoonish in style, fitting the not-too-serious gameplay.</p>

<p><em>Lords of Midnight</em> - also known as <em>Lords of Midnight III: The Citadel</em> - is the third game in the <a href="/search/?q=Lords+of+Midnight"> Lords of Midnight series</a>, and a direct sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/15212/doomdarks-revenge/"> Doomdark's Revenge</a>.</p>
<p>The story begins with Luxor the Moonprince (an old man by now) trying to obtain the legendary Eye of the Moon. However, during his quest he is captured by Boroth Wolfheart and imprisoned. His son Morkin must rescue him and find a way to defeat the forces of evil.</p>
<p>Gameplay-wise, the game is similar to the previous <em>Lords of Midnight</em> games. The player can either take control of a single hero, or send troops to fight the armies of the opponent, making the game similar to both role-playing and strategy games. Characters can be given tasks, which they execute without the need of the player's further input. Unlike in the preceding games, the movement of the troops occurs in real time. Graphically, the game utilizes a voxel engine for 3D environments.</p>

<p>Originally released in 1993, this historical combat simulation deals with the wars of Napoleon after his return from exile in Elba in 1815.</p>
<p>The game is close to historical facts and therefore can be recommended to provide good information about this period of European history.</p>

<p>This compilation includes the <em>Might and Magic</em> games from the early 1990s:</p>

</ul>
<p>As bonus, the CD features the original fan-made program <em>Swords of Xeen</em>, taking place after the two other Xeen games. Among the ruins of Greyhaven a magic pyramid is found that seems to be the gateway to a new world. Nothing is known about the gate except that Lord Xeen used it often. Thus the Dragon Pharaoh sends the player characters out to see what threats lies on the other side and destroy them. The gate leads to Havec, a new world filled with new creatures and dangers. <em>Swords of Xeen</em> is a stand-alone scenario that uses the same engine and gameplay mechanics as the original games, but with the characters starting at a high level.</p>

<p>As the eponymous Baby Jo you're trying to make it back home. Can a simple baby get past the four levels while avoiding the bad-tempered animals and machines on the way? </p>
<p><em>Baby Jo in: "Going Home"</em> is a side-scrolling platform game. Jo can pick up rattles which can be tossed at enemies (such as bees, lawnmowers or spiders). Apart from watching out for the baby's dropping health (represented as an increasingly tearful face), the baby's diaper gets wetter over time and the thirst increases, too. If the diaper becomes too wet or the baby becomes too thirsty, the player immediately loses a life, so collecting fresh bottles and diapers is important. </p>
<p>The game is multilingual (you can choose between English, French, German and Spanish).</p>

<p>Mixture of action and puzzle elements. Collect items by jumping back and forth between several platforms. In later levels shape and function of these platforms changes and obstacles are added.</p>

<p>This adventure is licensed from an autobiography of the rather sordid life of Marayat Rollet-Andriane. It centres around a man's efforts to attract her - suffice to say, he doesn't do so by offering her a can of Pepsi, and the game is not aimed at the young or prudish. Most of the game involves using multiple-choice dialogue to produce the correct outcome. You will visit bars, beaches, and many glamorous cities. There are also several sub-games, as you visit a casino, fend off love rivals, and face down smugglers.</p>

<p>Point-and-Click adventure (without mouse support on the DOS version). You play the role of a gnome named Djel. You have three basic missions: Find the daughter of Azeulisses, brew a magic potion for Theros and try to obtain a certain amount of Gold for the starving members of Kal's tribe. In the beginning these persons give you some items to support you on your quest.</p>

<p>You play Miette, a character from the movie of the same name. The graphics are the style of 3d characters over rendered backgrounds. You travel through the streets at the whim of Pieuvre, the siamese twins who are your schoolmistresses. You do small robberies for them, but soon a larger plot emerges. Mysterious men called Cyclopses are kidnapping children to steal their dreams. You must determine what is truly happening in this adventure game.</p>

<p><em>Geisha</em> is an erotic adventure game. A mad scientist kidnapped the protagonist's girlfriend Eva, and wants to transform her into some sort of a futuristic geisha (half-machine, half-human). The hero travels to Tokyo and must face various dangers to prevent this from happening. </p>
<p>The game uses a point-and-click interface (with mouse support) and has several small sub-games included, such as a simple card game, a jigsaw puzzle with a time limit, a short arcade sequence, and others.</p>

<p>Based on the 1989-Batman movie. The game consists of five different parts, each resembling well known game types. Part one, the chemical plant: Hunt down Jack Napier who has raided the plant (typical platform action, climb ladders or use "Bat"-rope and shoot at some enemies...). Part two, "Batmobile" (...the car): Joker is chasing you and have to escape to "Bat"-cave. Avoid obstacles like police blocking the road and others. Part three, "Bat"-cave: A puzzle game where you have to find a certain item (belonging to Joker) amongst other items. Part four, "Batjet": Cut the ropes of the balloons which are filled with poisonous gas. Part five, the cathedral: Hunt down Joker. This part plays like the first one. Finally you will confront Joker in a fight that decides the fate of Gotham city.</p>

<p>Arcade-style soccer game. It has two different parts: Indoor and Outdoor.</p>
<p>The Outdoor game is the normal European soccer. You may play single matches, league or tournament (world championships). Optional features are: weather effects, replays, customizable game length. Some quite funny movements and shots are available (e.g. banana flanks).</p>
<p>The Indoor game has US soccer teams (?fictional?) and plays on a much smaller field. It has different rules compared to outdoor soccer. You can play single matches, league and All Star tournament. The same movements and shots can be made, sometimes with even funnier effects (e.g. banana shot bouncing of the wall and into goal).</p>

<p>Baal is a monster who has stolen a war machine. As the leader of the "Time Warriors", you must destroy his minions, collect the war machine pieces (they flash yellow), and destroy Baal. You can use a joystick or a keyboard.</p>

<p>Your father, the loved Duke of Allada was last night murdered by Orcish hordes and same Orcs have come again to invade your city. Now is the time to avenge your father and keep well the title Duke of Allada. Recruit an army and prepare for the upcoming onslaught! The future and fate of Allada and its role in Aragon now rests in your hands!</p>
<p><em>Sword of Aragon</em> is a turned-based fantasy strategy game where the player rules a small town called Allada in the North Western part of the land known as Aragon. Most of the political map is yet undiscovered and you have to maintain a strong economy and military force to venture forth. The storyline revolves around duties as the Duke of Allada, exploring the uncharted areas of Aragon and uncovering its mysteries, conquering neighboring cities, as well as the political intrigues surrounding the city-states of Aragon. </p>
<p>In <em>Sword of Aragon</em>, the player may choose one of the five different character classes for the player's leading hero, each with different bonuses to the player's troops and abilities: Warrior, Knight, Ranger, Priest, or Mage. Different selection of character class does not affect the storyline.</p>
<p>Gameplay of <em>Sword of Aragon</em> consists of three major categories:
* <strong>City and Resource Development and Management</strong>  </p>
<p>With Allada as the first city the player controls (though later in the game the player may acquire many other cities in the land of Aragon), the first rule of business is developing the town and creating a steady economy. Military development and maintenance costs money and unless those Orcs come again with more friends, you had better maintain a decent military garrison. The only way to get money is to tax the revenues of a controlled city. These revenues come from five different sectors: farming, lumber, mining, commerce, and manufacturing. The stronger the sector, the higher the tax income. The player can do this by investing money to selected sectors which strengthens economy (and city happiness) as well as promoting more people to come to a player controlled city and well as a steady stable birthrate (more people means more taxes).</p>
<p>Besides developing resources, the player can also invest in structures and fortifications. Aragon is fantasy world filled with mystery and monsters, a town without walls is inviting inevitable disaster from marauding enemies. Structures and fortification investment guarantee thick walls and battlements for your troops to defend themselves in the event of an attack. Structures also have an additional use of storing surplus food for those harsh winter days.</p>
<p>The player can also recruit military units and heroes at cities. Military units and heroes may only be recruited providing the player has the money as well as available recruits at the selected city. Recruits increase through time although the player may also conscript citizens, however it will have a negative effect to city happiness.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Military Development and Combat</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The player starts the game preparing for combat. Thus, recruiting an army is the first priority in the game. There are different types of military units as wells as heroes to recruit from: infantry, cavalry, bowmen, and mounted bowmen. The more experience troops obtain (either from training or combat) the stronger they become as well as able to equip more various selections of armor and weapons. Heroes can be recruited to up to 20 units (the player's hero included). Heroes, though weak at the beginning of the game, provide backup combat bonuses for your troops (especially warrior, knights, and rangers) as well as devastating offense magic and beneficial support magic (rangers, priests, and mages).</p>
<p>The combat screen generally consists of the combat terrain and military units: The hero and main forces, the opponents’ main forces, as well as the allies of either side (when applicable). There is no time limit on combat - it ends when either side is annihilated or withdraws from battle.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Exploring and Random Events</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>At the start of the game, the player may view Allada and its surroundings, particularly the Northern areas. The southern and eastern maps remain unexplored. Exploring will uncover set and random events which will progress the overall story.</p>

<p><em>Rally Championship: The X-Miles add-on</em> is an add-on to Europress' Rally Championship. It provides 10 new tracks which once installed can be accessed by using the original Rally Championship CD. Along with the tracks you also get a new mode of play; an arcade mode that takes place on the 10 new tracks.</p>

<p><em>Die Hard 2: Die Harder</em> is a 2D shooting gallery.</p>
<p>In the early 90’s, two things just wouldn’t die: Bruce Willis in the <em>Die Hard</em> trilogy of movies, and, well, 2D point-and-click shooters. Renowned software undertaker Grandslam was happily ready to dig the grave several inches deeper for both. The spade: a game called <em>Die Hard 2: Die Harder.</em></p>
<p>Based on the 1990 movie <em>Die Hard 2</em>, the program sends you through five stages modelled after key scenes of the film. As N.Y. cop John McClane, you have to shoot terrorists invading Washington’s Dulles airport by quickly aiming a crosshair at them. You’ll successively clear the luggage center, airport annexe and runway, then chase after the bad guys on a snowmobile and finally shoot it out on the wing of the terrorist’s plane. Each stage consists of three screens; on the last one, several tougher bosses will appear. Occasionally, civilians cross the room and pray that you don’t kill them. Most dying terrorists drop power-ups, namely med-kits, armour, grenades and weapons that are more powerful or fire faster. You collect these items by shooting them in time. If you do not aim fast enough, the terrorist’s bullets will drain your health; you may die three times, but after that, John McClane bites the dust once and for all. Until you restart, that is.</p>
<p>For more information on the movie <em>Die Hard 2</em>, see the trivia and links sections.</p>

<p>Another Laserdisc conversion of one of Don Bluth’s cartoons: <em>Space Ace II: Borf’s Revenge</em> continues the saga of young cadet Dexter, who tries to free his love Kimberly from the clutches of the evil nemesis Borf. In critical situations, the meek Dexter can transform into his mighty alter ego Space Ace. Thus empowered, he has to defeat Borf’s minions.</p>
<p><em>Space Ace II</em> is a essentially a cartoon strip in which our hero will encounter numerous hazards. You have to avoid traps and enemies by pressing the right key at the right time: cursor keys for movements, Insert key to shoot. You never control Dexter directly, you just choose an appropriate direction. Each of the 27 seconds-long scenes requires one to three keystrokes. If your decision is wrong, the cartoon will end with a death animation, and Dexter will lose one of his three lives. So you’re basically trying to keep the strip running. Timing is crucial; you will need to press keys in the exact second. Luckily, you’re allowed to save your progress at four fixed points.</p>
<p><em>Space Ace II</em> is ported to the PC from the original arcade Laserdisc version. The result is a cut version due to space restraints. Although <em>Space Ace II</em> comes on 12(!) low density 5 1/4" discs, most scenes are shortened noticeably.</p>

<p><em>Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future</em> is a 2D space shooter.</p>
<p>Based on the '87 TV series <em>Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future</em>, this computer game of the same name sends you into the year 2147. Earth is a wasteland, and the evil Lord Dread rules with an iron hand. Only a small group of high-tech soldiers under the command of the charismatic Captain Power battles the nemesis and his band of Bio Dread henchmen.</p>
<p>None of this matters in the game though. Instead, you launch into two space shooter sequences. Part one, the training mission, has you destroy three Dread drones in a cockpit-view shooting range. Part 2, the Attack on Volcania, is a 2D sidescroller in which you eliminate approaching enemy spaceships. If enough hostiles have died, you get to bomb the enemy lair. The ship-shooting / hideout-bombing sequences are repeated until the fortresses shields are finally down.</p>
<p>You will find more information about the Captain Power TV series in the trivia and links sections.</p>

<p>Many years ago, the dark lord Sauron forged the One Ring to control the races of the Middle Earth. He was defeated by the human prince Isildur, who took the ring to himself. But such was the evil power of the ring that it brought misfortune to whoever dared to bear it, corrupting their souls. Eventually, the ring ended up by Frodo Baggins, a peaceful hobbit who was unaware of his possession's true nature. Realizing that the only way to be free of the ring's power would be to destroy it, the wizard Gandalf tells Frodo to carry it to Sauron's land, Mordor, and throw it into the lava rivers of the Orodruin volcano, thus saving Middle Earth from destruction. </p>
<p><em>J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I</em> is a fantasy role-playing game based on <em>The Fellowship of the Ring</em>, the first volume of the <em>Lord of the Rings</em> book trilogy by <a href="/search/?q=J.R.R.+Tolkien">J.R.R. Tolkien</a>. The events of the game follow those depicted in the book rather closely, though a few characters and occurrences are not present, and many quests have been added. Characters belonging to various races and nations join Frodo on his quest; these include key figures from the book as well as several characters unique to the game.</p>
<p>The game is rather open-ended, allowing the player to roam vast top-down environments and undertake side missions in addition to the main storyline, which must be followed in order to complete the game. Combat takes place in the same area as exploration, and is turn-based. The player has full control over the actions of the characters in the party. These characters can also be swapped, equipped with weapons and armor, and use various skills (individual and shared), such as sneaking, perception (to find hidden items), unique "words of power", and others. </p>
<p>Unlike the vast majority of role-playing games, there are no experience points or character levels in the game. Player-controlled party becomes stronger by obtaining better equipment and items, learning new abilities, and recruiting stronger characters that would help the weak hobbits to survive encounters with Nazguls and other dangerous creatures. There are optional ways to access major locations, and much of the combat in the game can be avoided.</p>
<p>The CD version of the game features cutscenes taken from the animated <em>Lord of the Rings</em> movie by <a href="/search/?q=Ralph+Bakshi">Ralph Bakshi</a>. The original floppy release often required the players to read story-related text from the manual; the CD version inserts this text into the game itself at the appropriate places. It also adds an automapping feature to the game.</p>

<p><em>Forgotten Worlds</em> features two characters known as The Nameless Ones, who both look like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/138102/arnold-schwarzenegger/">Arnold Schwarzenegger</a>, one even has a mohawk. It's their job to rid the planet of the attacking aliens. </p>
<p>Guiding your character around the screen as they fly with jet-packs, guns on full auto, you control a satellite which you rotate around your character for the direction in which your gun is firing. At the end of each level is a boss which needs to be killed to progress.</p>
<p>Enemies that have been killed drop money. At the end of every level is a shop where you can buy weapons, armour, items and first-aid packs.</p>

<p>You play a small green guy who needs to blow up eight towers because their presence is somehow poisoning the water of planets which could potentially be ideal colonies. Unfortunately, you need to get to the top of these towers to blow them up. </p>
<p>You make your way up to the top of the tower via walkways around the outside of the towers. You need to jump over, kick, and run from various enemies in your journey to the top. Most vertical movement is achieved by jumping onto moving ledges at the right moment. </p>
<p>The game was considered revolutionary in its time for its graphic technique. As the main character walked around the outside of the tower, the character was fixed in the middle of the screen while the tower itself rotated. This gave it a pseudo-3D effect.</p>
<p>Towers are linked together via a voyage through the sea in your trusty MK.7 submarine. This plays out as a side-scrolling collect-'em-up in which bonus points can be obtained.</p>

<p><em>Shattered Steel</em> is a first-person 3D action game similar in concept to <a href="/search/?q=MechWarrior">MechWarrior</a> series. The player takes control of bipedal machines (mechs) known as Planet Runners, trying to protect humanity against alien menace. The single player campaign takes place on five different planets, with about twenty missions available for each. The missions mostly involve direct assaults, infiltration of enemy strongholds, defending own bases, or escorting important figures.</p>
<p>The player can pilot up to seven different Runners in different sizes and shapes, having their own strengths and weaknesses. Each Runner is equipped with primary and secondary weapons which are either energy-charged or require bullets. The enemies are mostly shaped like animals and can be taken out using the game's locational damage system: for example, it is possible to incapacitate (but not kill) enemies by destroying their legs. The game also features deformable terrain, which may be used to the player's advantage in a few cases. A mission editor, an "anarchy" mode with co-op options, and a multiplayer mode for up to sixteen players are included as well.</p>

<p>Constructor gives the player the chance to run a construction company  in a place where real estate is up for those who want to develop it first and where everything is allowed to get rid of the competition.</p>
<p>Starting in a single plot of land with the headquarters, a construction team (composed by a foreman and one to five workers) and a repairman,  the player must start by building a wood mill and provide housing to the bottom of the social ladder: slobs. From there, taking advantage of their fast reproduction rate, the player can train new workers, and as soon as three different wooden huts are available, the council will allow the construction of a cement yard, which in turn allows the construction of better buildings. However, slobs wouldn't appreciate living in such luxury, and so a gadget factory can be built so that computers are distributed to their houses, allowing for a new generation of better educated citizens. 
While the workers pack a nasty punch when in a large group, violence should be left to the professionals. After building a Pizza Parlor, the player is allowed to use the services of gangsters. These are able to take on that pesky foreman or that building the Council asked to get rid off.</p>
<p>But there's more to the game than just building from ghetto houses to luxury apartments, and as they say, all is fair in war, and construction IS war. The player can send their foremen to capture other teams' buildings, or do even worse: provide housing for the scum of society. From hippies to ghosts, these can do a number on the other teams' properties. Want to stress out a tenant? Send the thugs to do a wild party in their house. Need some cash or materials? Send the thief to relieve a team from them. All this while preventing the others from doing the same to you by assigning police patrols to key areas. 
As time passes, it pays out to build other, more friendly, buildings. For example, a school allows everyone to breed more civilized members of the society, the hospital allows recovery of wounds much faster, and everyone can go to the park to relax a little. Improving the rooms and giving them garden furniture is also a good way of keeping tenants happy, but jealousy can grow among neighbors. Failing to comply to tenants requests and demands will quickly turn the Council against the player.</p>
<p>The player will have to balance the output of their tenants to achieve success: overdeveloping one aspect might make a dent in the bank account (leading to bankruptcy), cut the arrival of new workers (putting a strain on existing teams), prevent deceased tenants from being replaced (leaving houses vacant, eventually having them turn into a flaming pile of rubble not before giant cockroaches settle in), or decrease police and mob favors (necessary to patrol areas against undesirables and gangster actions). </p>
<p>The difficulty level affects what maps can be selected, but also which  actions the undesirables can perform. To choose higher difficulty settings, more computer players (up to three) must be activated.</p>

<p>Race in the little leagues, except these Karts are anything but slow! With the fastest going up to 130 MPH, these karts are what professional race drivers drive to keep their edge in the off-season! </p>
<p>Choose from three classes of engines, 4 types of chasis, and 4 types of tires. Customize your kart and your alter ego to specific colors, stripes, and logos, even racing numbers. Adjust your gear ratio for optimum acceleration vs. top speed. </p>
<p>Join single-race at any of the dozen different tracks, each with their own challenges, or play a full season's championship against ruthless AI who will shove you out of the way if they can. </p>
<p>When you're finished having fun, invite your friends to compete on the network!</p>

<p>If you're bored of racing Formula 1 cars, rally cars or MotoGP bikes in their natural habitats, the <a href="/search/?q=Micro+Machines">Micro Machines series</a> could be for you. It involves racing miniatures representing particular vehicle types across a particular terrain found around the house. The Sports Cars race on the desktop, 4x4s in the sandpit, Formula 1 cars on a snooker table, and so on.</p>
<p>These levels were packed with variation. The Snooker tables has the track painted on, although this is open to deviation (as are most levels), and had you racing through the pockets and across the rim of the table. Tanks raced as well, with the chance of shooting out your opponent if they got directly in front of you. The desktop levels include binders to jump across, pencil-sharpeners to avoid, and lots of visual jokes in the open homework.</p>
<p>Viewed from overhead with small graphics, the races include up to 4 cars. In one player challenge mode you race through the 21 tracks in a set order, selecting your 3 opponents as you go along (adding a fair amount of strategy - ideally you should aim to eliminate the better CPU cars early on), eliminating one after every third race (assuming that you can finish in the top 2 of a race within your 3 lives). If you win 3 races in a row without using a continue you get a time-trial race which can earn you an extra life.</p>
<p>The real innovation of the game was in the multiplayer modes. You started with 4 points each, and when one car gets far enough ahead to force the other car off-screen, the slider moves in their favour. Once it reached the end (which involved beating them 4 times more than they beat you) you win the level, although if 3 laps were completed, the person leading at that point is declared the winner - with a sudden death play off if scores are level. 9 of the tracks are available in this mode, although you can also play this Head to Head system as a 1-player game across all the tracks.</p>

<p>FX Fighter is a 3D fighting game similar to <a href="/search/?q=Virtua+Fighter">Virtua Fighter</a> by <a href="/search/?q=SEGA">SEGA</a>. You choose one of the eight comic book style characters to become the greatest fighter in the universe.</p>
<p>Each character has its own special / hidden moves as well as a planet of their own housing the gruesome challenges with 3rd-person flying camera perspectives...</p>

<p>This game is a remake of the popular trading simulation <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4354/merchant-prince/">Merchant Prince</a>.</p>
<p>You take control over one of the most influential families in the 14th century. From their hometown Venice, Italy, they controlled most of the sea and land trade of this era.</p>
<p>The games main ideas a very well done and are based on Niccoló Machiavelli´s famous book "The Prince" which analyzed the political and religious situation in the the 14th century.</p>

<p>Take to the high seas as Sinbad the sailor. You have been asked for help by the Princess to defeat the Black Prince and his minions from hell. You will fight pirates and genies, find romance and heartbreak, comedy and tragedy.</p>
<p><em>Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon</em> is a more action-oriented game than most other Cinemaware releases, though it still contains strategy portions in which the player has to tactically move troops around to secure victory. The game features many arcade and fighting sequences, as well as limited decision-making moments.</p>

<p>You are an Overlord in the employ of an aged King who has long since tired of battling.  Protection and control of the kingdom, its resources, treasures and its force of monster are your obligations.</p>
<p>Neighboring clans are invading the dominion.  They are a scourge of ravenous looters, soldiers, and mages.  Each group desires some resource that is abundant in the kingdom.  The longer they steal from you, the stronger they become.</p>
<p>The clans will attack from every direction.  If you do not defeat them at the outskirts of the kingdom they will move toward your castle destroying and pillaging along the way.  As they ravage the land and close on the castle they gain strength from the resources they have captured.  Each clan is after specific resources.  Some are invaders or scouts.  Others are powerful mages.</p>
<p>Fight back the invaders with all your resources.  Order your generals and monsters into combat.  Lay traps.  Use Magick to destroy the clans and enhance your own forces.  Gain information through interrogation and spies or fight with your own hands.</p>

<p>Mario's Wet World Challenge: Help your characters swim across the screen whilst being chased by hungry sea creatures - only typing the words that scroll across the bottom of the screen will let you escape.</p>
<p>Mario's Tunnel Of Doom: Help your character run through a tunnel filled with traps, avoiding falling blocks and the like, by correctly typing the sentences which scroll across the top of the screen.</p>

<p>Control Thomas the Tank Engine as he's got to take special trips he has to organise: Take children to the seaside, medicine to the hospital or deliver the mail. Beware of dead ends, level crossings, other trains and vehicles through your route! Based on the famous television and railway series, this game is designed for ages 3 and up.</p>

<p><em>No Exit</em> is a side-view martial arts beat 'em up, similar in style to <a href="/search/?q=IK%2B">IK+</a>. Each fight must be won within a time limit. You can specify your character's ability quite precisely, trading off Vivacity against Efficiency and Resistance against Strength. Your character has a special destructive mode, which can be accessed 3 times This turns the character into a monster (corresponding to the opponent you are fighting against) and increases the level of damage you can inflict.</p>

<p><em>Star Wars</em> is a first-person shooter based around the final scenes of the original <em>Star Wars</em> film. It first appeared for arcade coin-operated machines and was subsequently converted to other gaming platforms.</p>
<p>You take on the role of Luke Skywalker, aiming to destroy the Death Star. In the first phase you have to pass swarms of TIE Fighters, including dogfighting the one piloted by Darth Vader himself. In the second phase the station's surface is protected by laser towers, third involves attacking its weakest spot - the unprotected exhaust port - with proton torpedos. Your X-Wing starts with six shields, but more can be awarded for good performance. Complete the game and it loops back around at ever-increasing difficulty.</p>
<p>The game uses vector graphics, which allow lots of action at high speed on comparatively slow systems.</p>

<p>The Viking Union has a very dominant role in your society, as they control the vast railway networks. Could they be to blame for the disappearance of the sun and the resultant ice age? As a train captain, you must find out and overthrow them.</p>
<p><em>Arctic Baron</em> is a strategic trading and combat game. You must keep your train running and make sure there is enough fuel. When you reach towns you can trade with local people, with each city having a primary function. These towns often contain useful information to put you on the right track in your mission. You are in possession of slaves, who are traded just like other commodities.</p>
<p>Contact with other trains results in combat. Buy upgrades to boost your performance in combat, to increase your chance of fending off the Viking Union.</p>

<p>In this pinball simulation, you play on a table called "The Web". With the help of three flippers, you must send the ball into the various openings, trapdoors, and ramps. You can gain various bonuses (such as several balls to knock at the same time) if you play particularly well. Some of the targets activate special missions when you hit them with a ball. Those missions vary from aiming at specific targets to playing mini-games, such as shooting asteroids. After you have completed five missions, you'll be able to face the Dark Queen, the off-screen antagonist of the game.</p>
<p>Unlike many other pinball games, "The Web" aims for realistic simulation of pinball. The game implements real table physics, and doesn't feature any unrealistic gadgets or living enemies.</p>

<p>The package contains two games in the <a href="/search/?q=Ultima+Underworld"> Ultima Underworld</a> spin-off series of the <a href="/search/?q=Ultima"> Ultima</a> universe:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/690/ultima-underworld-the-stygian-abyss/"> Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss</a></li>
</ul>

<p>3D, real-time, World War II flight combat game. Based on the actual missions flown by the 357th squadron (the Yoxford Boys) and their P-51 Mustangs. The action takes place in skies over France, and Germany as the player flies from England on strike, combat, escort, and special missions. </p>
<p>Animated strafing `walks bullets' to ground targets. Includes campaign or Tour of Duty option as well as practice, and single mission modes.</p>

<p>Before <a href="/search/?q=Electronic+Arts">Electronic Arts</a> sought to imitate television coverage of sports with their EA Sports titles, Cinemaware had the same idea, initially applying it to (American) Football. Cutscenes follow dramatic moments in the match, and each match is preceded by a TV-style introduction. The game is primarily action-based, although you also choose your plays before executing them. You then bring the passes and runs to life on the pitch itself. You can play single matches or full leagues, with any of the NFL teams of the time.</p>

<p>Basketball was the second sport to which <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/36706/cinemaware-corporation/">Cinemaware</a> applied their philosophy of lavish production and advanced cutscenes. Exhibition and league matches are on offer, with the opportunity to recreate a full league season with 1 player assigned to each of the 28 clubs. The game uses varying camera positions, with top-down views when the ball is close to either hoop, and a side-view when the ball is mid-court - controls remain unchanged for these, so the switch doesn't cause a sudden change in player movement.</p>
<p>As well as playing the matches you have full coaching control. This can involve making substitutions but also assigning marking and game strategies.</p>

<p>The second entry in Masterplay's <em>Star Saga</em>, combination of science fiction role-playing with a strategy board game. Gameplay allows for up to six players, who assume the role of pre-created characters (dossiers are provided in the game package) - a true merging of computerized and non-computerized RPG elements.</p>
<p>The package also includes a fold-out poster map that acts as the game board, six colored stones for player markers, and a stack of game text booklets, which minimizes the number of game disks.</p>

<p>In the 21st century, human beings have all but destroyed their home planet Earth. Surviving humans found a shelter on a planet called Jorune. A civil war errupted, humans fighting the indigenous population; eventually, peace was achieved, and the various races found a way to co-exist with each other... all except one. The Shantha, one of the most ancient and powerful races on Jorune, adepts at the magical art of Isho, were not satisfied with the shape the planet has taken. 3500 years later, one of them, known as the Red Shantha, began attacking human settlements. The hero of the game is one of the villagers who have survived Red Shantha's attack. Having found the way to master Isho, the hero must rescue his friends and explore the planet, searching for the source of evil.</p>
<p><em>Alien Logic</em> is based on the <em>Skyrealms of Jorune</em> role-playing system. The player takes control of one character; there is no party in the game. While there is a story to follow, much of the game is open-ended, dedicated to exploring Jorune, searching for items, precious crystals (which increase the hero's parameters), and fighting enemies. The exploration mode uses a side-scrolling perspective; the player can switch to combat mode when an enemy is nearby. Combat takes place on the same screen as exploration, and is action-based. Combat relies heavily on magic (<em>Isho</em>); casting spells deplete the Isho bar. Spell sequences are called <em>dyshas</em>, which can be offensive or defensive. Preparing dysha combinations beforehand and then using them on the enemies (by clicking on them) is an essential combat strategy.</p>

<p>Jimbo McGibbets is back in the sequel to the original. You play a soldier on a mission to infiltrate the enemy's compound and spy on them.</p>
<p>The game is broken up in to two parts: Walking around in the enemy camp, or flying missions in your advanced attack helicopter. You can enter enemy huts in the compound and retrieve weapons and information. Use gas grenades on the guards to give yourself time to search rooms.</p>
<p>Flying your attack chopper presents you with a view out the cockpit and control panel. You will be attacked by numerous airplanes and can attack ground defense systems too.</p>

<p>Take on the role of Sylvester Stallone's machine-gun-toting action hero in this text adventure game adaption (!) of the movie.  Your mission is to free prisoners from a POW camp in Vietnam.</p>

<p>This is a futuristic flying game. The plot casts you as a captured Nethacker forced to Netrun for the mercenary Black Sun Corporation for their own greedy purposes.</p>
<p>Just what is Netrunning? in the year 2306 5 megacorporations control the world, each of which requires lots of data and information to maintain their position at the top of the food chain. If a certain data can't be obtained peacefully they then resort to hacking the other corporation's net with cybernetically enhanced individuals (such as yourself) that can cruise the Networks in virtual vehicles called Traces. This then means that as a Netrunner you have to "race" in futuristic trenches and several other Tron-like settings while avoiding ICEs and other countermeasures and trying to achieve mission objectives like capturing a certain data file, clearing up a Net of intruders, etc.</p>

<p>With the sudden death of Dr. Everett Cussler, Dr. Elizabeth Duran has become the director of her research institute... and some of her colleagues aren't happy about that. Everyone has gathered in Duran's isolated mountain cabin for the reading of the will, within eye- and earshot of your video camera and microphone. But tonight, simply watching will not be enough, because someone is going to make an attempt on Elizabeth's life. And unless you take action, they will succeed.</p>
<p><em>Voyeur II</em> is an interactive movie with a few adventure-style puzzles. You must record concrete evidence of the killer's intentions on videotape, then find a way to stop the murder before it's too late.</p>

<p><em>Andromeda Conquest</em> is a strategy / conquest game in which one to four players build galactic empires by establishing and defending space colonies, managing resources, and battling other players for control of star systems. Before every turn, players receive resources from all their colonies. Those have to be used up during the turn or they are lost. Depending on the numbers of players the galaxy consists of 12 to 48 star systems.</p>
<p>The layout is grid-based, and the package includes a pad of graph paper for keeping track of ship and colony locations.</p>

<p>A tennis game where camera is always static, which means whether you're on one side of the net or the other, the camera will always show both players from the same angle, which seems like a platform game. You can play a single match or full tournament, as well as resume if you achieved some points while playing before. You can play against computer AI or another player on the same computer, or you can select DEMO for computer(s) to demonstrate you the game.</p>

<p><em>Oubliette</em> is one of the earliest party-based role-playing games. It is an open-ended hack-and-slash through a multilevel dungeon with a party of 1-6 characters, chosen from possible classes including Fighters, Priests and Thieves. They will gain experience, jewelry and armor as the adventure progresses, but they will also age and may eventually die. Spells are triggered through typing their activation codes. The party can be changed before every trip to the dungeon by dropping off / picking up characters from the local tavern.</p>

<p><em>Tetripz</em> simulates what it would be like to play the classic puzzle game under the influence of various drugs and other substances. The player can choose several different drugs, including LSD, marijuana, 2CB, and coffee, and can choose how intense that drug's effects will be on an intensity scale ranging from 1 to "overdose". This affects how the playing field is rendered, including effects such as a constantly warping screen or the playing field zooming in and out. This game supports multiplayer against a friend or the computer.</p>
<p>This game won the Wired'98 Game Compo.</p>

<p>In this game you are Rif, a young fox, who is falsely accused of stealing the magical orb of storms. This orb is capable of predicting when storms will arrive. Obviously this is important to farmers, but it is just as important to the boar tribe, for their supply of mud.</p>
<p>You'll have to find the Orb and the real thief, to clear your name, save your girlfriend and prevent war with the boar tribe. While your doing this you'll encounter a much larger mystery: What is the origin of the tribes? Legend has it that the humans gave the animals the power of thought and speech, and then vanished. Who were they and what happened to them?</p>

<p><em>Connectris</em> is a puzzle game that is a cross between <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pipe+Mania">Pipe Mania</a>. Pieces of pipe fall from the top of the screen, and you have to stack them so that all the exits are connected.</p>

<p>Based on the famous animated movie, <em>Walt Disney's The Jungle Book</em> is a platform game where you control Mowgli, the boy who was raised by wild animals deep in the jungles. Your goal is to find the human village so you may you join your kin once again. </p>
<p>Mowgli is an athletic individual, and can jump, run, swing on vines or climb them without any problems. Most of the animals he comes upon, however, are inexplicably hostile, so he must defend himself with a variety of thrown weapons, such as bananas and boomerangs. </p>
<p>To complete each level, Mowgli must collect a number of crystals (how many - it depends on the difficulty levels) within a time limit. A compass in the corner of the screen helps him by showing the direction where the nearest crystal is.</p>

<p><em>Outer Ridge</em> combines <a href="/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a> with 3D space viewed from the cockpit, similar to <a href="/search/?q=Wing+Commander">Wing Commander</a>. On each level, there is a certain quota of asteroids to destroy before moving on to the next sector. Controls are similar to asteroids, the player can rotate in 720 degrees of direction, and can thrust or fire the weapon. Destroying items releases power-ups such as shield restore, shield doubling, cannons, rockets, Super-S and the Exit (needed to get to the next level). Along with dealing with asteroids, alien enemies show up and must be destroyed.</p>

<p>Mille Bornes is a French card game, sold by Parker Brothers that simulates a car race of 700 kilometers. This is a computer adaption of that game.</p>

<p>These are the voyages of the purple ball. Its ongoing mission, to explore the galaxies, and to collect as many dilithium crystals as informed by Starfleet Command.</p>
<p>This is a cute little game. The goal is to roll your ball through a maze (with nasty holes) to collect all the crystals and head to the exit, in not-too-much time. And there are bombs to blow up walls!</p>

<p>Rather than copying <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/80110/sensible-soccer/">Sensible Soccer</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12994/kick-off/">Kick Off</a>, this football game features a number of comical and unrealistic touches. Although the view is top-down, the pitch is small and square, and the players appear huge on it. A range of moves including overhead kicks, trapping the ball, and quick 1-2 passes can be mastered.</p>
<p>Before each match, your team can choose special moves to assign to each player - power shots with a crazy-big curve, super dribbling (making the ball stick to your foot), and a Barge power to push players out of the way. A full world cup tournament is offered, which up to 8 human players can partake in, as well as single exhibition matches. The action replays feature a VCR-style control.</p>

<p>This is a nice and simple game. You pilot a plane, and you just blow other planes up, while performing your mission of blowing other things up. For those familiar with old-school arcade games, think of Jumpjet as a combination of <a href="/search/?q=Defender">Defender</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Scramble">Scramble</a>.</p>

<p>You'll encounter monsters, keys, doors, trampolines, acid to destroy walls, and more.</p>

<p>After six years away from Earth, your delivery contract is finally over, you've been paid a fat cheque and you can't wait to get home. As your ship gets closer and closer to the old beloved blue planet, the anticipation mounts. But wait! What's this? The earth is an unfamiliar, grey husk! A vast alien mothership hangs above it, mercilessly sucking out all of its natural resources. While you were away, the Eco Phantoms arrived, and did this!</p>
<p>Now, you've managed to steal an Eco zeppelin craft and have gone down to Earth, to try to reverse the planet-draining process before it's too late. The Eco Phantoms have built several domes on the planet's surface, which house their buildings and equipment. You'll have to navigate through three of these domes, learning how to operate and maintain your alien craft, gathering resources, collecting data spheres, rescuing prisoners and engaging in confrontations with the Eco forces.

<p><em>Overlord</em> is a real-time strategic warfare game where the player must manage large standing armies, economic capital, and political stability throughout a number of extra-dimensional star systems. </p>
<p>As the dictatorial ruler of the Epsilon Galaxy, the player has obtained complete, indisputable authority. However, during a scientific experiment in hyperdrive technology, Epsilon scientists discovered four "buffer" dimensions, each containing a number of barren planets that exist between the Epsilon Galaxy and another alien dimension. Unfortunately, the most powerful empires from these alternate dimensions have also just discovered these zones through their own experiments. The player must battle these alien species for control of these buffer worlds, to ensure that their rule in the Epsilon Galaxy remains intact.</p>
<p>To make the new planets useful in the player's campaign, they can purchase terraforming equipment which can transform them into tropical Gaian-esque worlds which are ideal for agriculture, mineral-rich and heavily volcanic worlds, desert planets capable of producing vast amounts of energy, or ecologically balanced planets that can support large cities which are readily able to generate significant income through taxation. In addition, the player can mine for resources and tax their citizens to raise money, construct spaceship-buildings to feed the populace, enlist soldiers and equip them, buy battle cruisers or other craft to move from planet to planet, and so on. The player can fight battles, colonize planets, and even spy on alien races. The end goal is to ensure that the other alien races do not gain the upper hand by conquering these four new dimensions before the player can.</p>
<p>The player cannot retreat from battle, as the only way to shut down the hyperspace link from their universe to Epsilon would be by vaporizing the player's homeworld, which is where the hyperspace generator is located. Politically (at the very least), this is not an option.</p>
<p>Blood will have to be shed for supremacy of the hyperspace planets, and for the player to become Overlord of these four new dimensions plus their own.</p>

<p>"Homey don't play that!"  Take on the role of Homey D. Clown, the most popular Damon Wayans character from Fox's sketch-comedy series "In Living Color".

On each level, the player needs to collect all the tokens, find the key and get to the exit. Monsters kill the fairy if they come in contact with her. The player's only weapon is a magic wand that can be used to transform objects. The player first uses the wand on any object to acquire a "wand pattern", then he can transform anything (walls, ladders, monsters...) into said object. This can be used to create ladders to travel, get rid of monsters etc., though all transformed objects revert to their original form after a while. Some levels feature gray objects which cannot be affected by the wand.</p>

He plans to destroy Okamura family entirely, and he buys Koichi a house nearby, telling him to gain their trust in order to create a perfect timing for his revenge.</p>
<p>However, Shoji Okamura ran away, abandoning the house along with his daughters. The eldest one had to leave college and get a job in order to support her sisters, and the whole family was beginning to sink deeper and deeper into debts. Eiichi is planning to punish the sisters for their father's sins, but Koichi's feelings begin to change as he gets to know them better, and the moment is nearing when he will have to choose between his brother and the Okamura sisters.</p>

The captain has been murdered, an assassin threatens a visiting senior Senator, and a power struggle arises as the station careens toward the sun. Save yourself, or save the ship?</p>
<p><em>Sentient</em>'s main feature is the artificial intelligence controlling multiple individual crew members aboard the station, each with their own assignments and behaviors. You interact with the AI characters through an elaborate parser interface, which allows you to ask them everything from the location of a vital piece of equipment, to their opinion of another member of the crew. To succeed, you must take advantage of the crew's help through this social system.</p>

<p>A 3-D combat submarine simulator. The object of the game is to seek out enemy convoys and sink the supply ships and their escorts with your torpedoes and missiles.</p>
<p>Navigation between convoys, ports and environmental hazards, as well as the need to watch your fuel and air supply, add an element of difficulty to the game.</p>

<p>A spaceship carrying a mercenary with the crew was hit by a meteor. Its hull was breached, and only the mercenary and the navigator A’kri Janr managed to escape. Gerard Kendall, the head of Starkiller Mercenary Group, gave the survivors a new ship. Now they have to find a new crew in order to complete their jobs. It's high time for mercenary work, as various groups are fighting for supremacy in the Four Systems. Meanwhile, the sun of a remote planet is dying, and only a miracle can save an entire race from extinction...</p>
<p><em>Hard Nova</em> is a sci-fi role-playing game with space exploration, spaceship customization and combat, and trading elements, somewhat similar in concept to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/755/sentinel-worlds-i-future-magic/">Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic</a>. There is no character creation in the game: in the beginning the player selects between the female mercenary Nova and the male mercenary Stark. They have slightly different attributes and may gain access to different dialogue lines as the game advances. Most other crew members have to be recruited from within the game world. Three of them can be taken to locations on various planets, where they may interact with other characters and participate in combat, where only the leader is controlled manually. On-foot combat is done in real time, with delays caused by weapon properties and the characters' proficiencies. Guns play a prominent role in battles.</p>
<p>Experience points are awarded for harming enemies. When a character levels up, these points can be manually allocated to improve their parameters. Each character has two sets of abilities, land-based and ship-based. Land-based abilities include general aptitude in improving through combat, agility, stealth, fitness, various weapon proficiencies, etc. Ship-based abilities include mechanics, programming, gunner skills, and others. Each crew member is assigned a role on the ship, such as pilot, engineer, technician, and so on.</p>
<p>The player is taken to a hovercraft when reaching the orbit of a planet. An exact location can be selected, where the hovercraft can be controlled manually. Only a few places can serve as hovercraft docks, and the player needs to manoeuvre the craft precisely to land it. The hovercraft may also be attacked by hostiles, which leads to action-based combat. </p>
<p>When leaving an orbit, the player can navigate the starship J-21C Delphenus through space. There are four star systems in the game: the powerful and militant Ariel, the Rouyn system known for its valuable minerals, the Ciberan system with its supplies of water and fuel, and the Mastassini system, where the player starts the game. The systems are connected by stargates and each hosts several planets. The player-controlled spaceship may encounter hostile ships, which can be fought in arcade action style. The ship can be outfitted with various weapons, and improve in different aspects such as avionics, thrusters, etc. Better parts and fuel can be purchased on space stations. The player can also trade between star systems, using the money to buy better equipment for the crew and customize the ship.</p>

<p>The fourth <a href="/search/?q=Papyrus">Papyrus</a> racing game is the sequel to the 1993 <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/983/indycar-racing/">IndyCar Racing</a>. It uses many of the improvements which were introduced in <a href="/search/?q=NASCAR+Racing">NASCAR Racing</a>. There are fifteen tracks in total, and the major features are 640x480 SVGA graphics, multiplayer support for two players, pi telemetry data for realism, interactive driving schools, enhanced artificial intelligence, in-game communication with the pit crew supporting speech recognition technology, and digital stereo sound.</p>
<p>You race in open-wheel cars and there are different driving views, with detailed physics and a realistic simulation of damage and controls. You can call up information about your car (fuel, tires, wings, wheel stagger) during the races at any time. Aside from the in-game paint shop, there was an active modding community at work with many custom car sets available online.</p>

<p>A Christian text adventure in which you are charged with recovering the five pieces of the Armor of God.  Obtaining each piece requires passing a test.  The game includes a copy of the new testament, and bible passages are referenced throughout the game, providing hints.</p>

The player interacts with the environment by typing verb and object commands. Four directional keys (N, S, W and E) are used to navigate the protagonist between first-person areas.</p>

<p><em>Hammer of the Gods</em> is a turn-based strategy game that recreates the world the way the Vikings experienced it. The gods are a real consideration in the decisions made and glorious death one of the highest goals. Unlike other strategy games, the building of the empire is not necessarily the ultimate objective.</p>
<p>The player competes against other players to earn the favor of the Norse gods and become the Hammer of the Gods. The player can raid coastal villages, conquer cities and then link them together by building roads. Next, build castles to protect them. The particular path that the player follows to victory will vary based on the "family" of gods that is chosen at the beginning of the game. Maintaining honor in the eyes of the other Vikings is important throughout the game. The four paths are Human, Elf, Troll and Dwarf. Any of these may become Odin's chosen leader on Midgard by completing his quest and ensuring the player's place in legend.</p>

<p>Deer hunting, redneck style! Join Leonard, a redneck native, and do your hunting four different animals (deer, duck, razorback, and wild turkey) in 8 acres of wilderness with different weapons in Redneck country. This is hunting with attitude!</p>

<p>You can choose between 4 bikes, 12 tracks (including favourites like Brno, Suzuka and Spa), with 1 or 2 players in this Grand Prix motorcycle racing simulation. You can play a full season including qualifying modes, a single race, or simply practice a circuit to learn it and master the controls. Like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10773/lotus-esprit-turbo-challenge/">the first Lotus game</a> the game always uses a split screen; in one-player mode the top half of the screen displays the track map.</p>

<p>In this RPG, you play the role of four heroes whose mission is to save their world, Kalynthia, from the evil arch mage Bronagh.
Most of the time, while exploring the overworld, the game is shown in a 2D top-down view. It gives you much freedom: there's more to do than just stick to the main quest. Towns have a static interface where you reach the wished location by pressing the according symbol. e.g. a church for healing up or a sage for hints.</p>
<p>During dungeon crawls the game switches to a 3D view and plays similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/834/dungeon-master/">Dungeon Master</a>. As usual for this kind of game you see the dungeon in a small window while your characters are shown on the right-hand side of the screen. Dungeon sequences are completely in real-time. This includes combat which basically consists of clicking on a character's weapon or magic spell and then clicking on the monster. After every usage of a weapon/spell, you have to wait a certain time until you can use it again.</p>

<p>Who says being an errand boy is dull ? Take Rolling Ronny - he's the coolest dude in town. Help him rollerskate and shoot his way through nine levels of parkland, city streets, office complexes and even the underground sewers to his final destination at the other side of town.
Collect cash by running errands for the inhabitants of this weird and wonderful town to earn enough money for a bus ticket to the next part of this barmy game.</p>

<p><em>Spit Wad Willy</em> is an action game similar to <a href="/search/?q=Buster+Brothers">Pang</a>. The player controls Willy who has to shoot (only straight up) bouncing balls. Each time he hits a large one, it splits into two smaller ones; the goal of each level is to destroy all of them. Additionally there are robot enemies and bosses. Destroyed balls may leave behind power-ups such as slowing down time, an extra life or improving the attack. Each hit results in a life loss and the need to restart the level.</p>
<p>The game was later re-released as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5508/pea-shootin-pete/">Pea Shootin' Pete</a> with minor differences.</p>

<p><em>XQuest</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=crystal+quest">Crystal Quest</a> variant, where you pilot a little spaceship and collect gems. The game is mouse controlled, but you don't control the ship directly. Rather, you thrust the ship in any direction and it retains its inertia.</p>
<p>Once you collect all the gems, the exit at the top of the screen opens and you can fly through to the next level. There are obstacles like mines and bad guys of increasing difficulty that come out of the sides. You can collect power-ups such as rapid fire and spread fire.</p>

<p><em>Alien Phobia</em> is a single-screen shooter. There are exactly three moves available: walking forward (arrow key up), turning around (arrow key left and right) and shooting (enter, holding the key results in constant fire). Aliens enter the screen from all directions and the goal is to kill as many as possible before the player is inevitably overwhelmed. Sometimes a killed alien leaves behind a flame thrower which allows to kill aliens more effectively - as soon as the ammo is used up, the player automatically switches back to the standard pistol with unlimited ammo. When the player is defeated (there is a health bar which is depleted when an alien is touched), the game ends and maybe the player can enter a name into the highscore list. Only the number of killed aliens is relevant for this.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1055/cyberdogs/">Cyberdogs</a>, C-Dogs improves the original Cyberdogs gameplay formula. The game involves you taking your character on missions which usually involve shooting anything around using a variety of weapons that can be bought before missions. Many more options are available in this version, one of the most interesting being an editor that allows you to create your own C-Dogs campaigns.</p>

<p>This is a clone of the Tron light-cycle style game where the object is to make your opponent(s) crash into your tail as you move around the playing field. This version includes many options that you can set (including up to four players, any/all of which can be controlled by the computer), and you can save your options so you won't have to set them each time you play</p>

<p>Packrat is a sidescrolling game in which you collect the coins or buttons and get points.  There is a multiplayer mode and a level editor.  The game has no save mode.</p>

<p>A conversion of the classic game 'Asteroids' specifically written to take advantage of (then-new) EGA's high-res mode. You won't find any bells &amp; whistles here, as it focuses on core gameplay. The key controls are in a non-standard placement and are non-configurable.</p>

<p>You have to push the rocks around to form ladders to reach the butterflies.  Once you have collected all of the butterflies the exit door will open.  15 puzzles with lots of items to assist you along the way including a rope and pick axe.</p>

<p>You play a green worm and you have to go around and eat the pizzas.  But every time you eat a pizza your tail gets longer.  Instead of other nibbles type games Pizza Worm can move in a lot of different angles rather than just right angle turns (like Rattler Race).</p>

<p>Striker '95 is the another entry in the popular Striker series. However, this sequel manages to improve on its predecessors almost in every area by featuring a more fluid 
and friendly gameplay, an expert in-match commentary or the customization support to edit the teams' default settings. It also has FMV clips.</p>

<p><em>Conquest of the New World</em> is a game very similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/585/sid-meiers-civilization/">Civilization</a> in some aspects. Starting the game with a ship, the player will have to land somewhere with their units. There, they need to establish contact with the natives, and can either attack them or start to trade with them, in a similar fashion to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/585/sid-meiers-civilization/">Civilization</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/366/sid-meiers-colonization/">Colonization</a>. </p>
<p>Controlling the units is rather atypical for this genre, as it is done by dragging an arrow from one unit to where it's supposed to move and it will do so automatically.</p>

<p>Who is MOT ?
MOT is nothing less than a 3 meter tall inter-dimensional monster (complete with a tail and horns), which can travel through the planes of time and space as easily as you go from your bedroom to the kitchen. </p>
<p>Moreover, MOT has the bad habits of hiding in your cupboard, smashing all the furniture in your house from time to time or eating all the food in your fridge during the night.
And of course, when you tried to explain to your parents that it wasn't you but MOT who crushed their car, they sent you to a psychiatrist.</p>
<p>But MOT is your friend, and you wouldn't let him down when he calls for your help, would you ?</p>

<p>Play against the computer in this strategy marble maze arcade game. Your objective is to get your marbles to the bottom of a maze filled with ramps, walls, black holes and much more. Block your opponent by pushing your marbles into strategic positions to stop him from doing the same to you.</p>

<p>Help Ladder Man collect all the light bulbs in each of the 30 puzzle rooms and then try to reach the elusive doorway. Use Ladder Man’s ladder to reach objects like TNT, boats, balloons and crates, while avoiding deadly lasers and dangerous water hazards. You must literally try to construct his escape.</p>

<p>Larry Lontrose is a part-time dock loader. He is very ambitious and wants to be promoted up the corporate ladder. By solving the 40 mind-bending puzzle rooms, you can help Larry fulfill his dreams. Each room has objects like boxes, balloons, TNT and much more! Use these objects and avoid others, to reach the door in each room to complete a level. </p>

<p>An add-on course for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/492/links-the-challenge-of-golf/">Links</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3757/links-386-pro/">Links 386 Pro</a>, or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14214/microsoft-golf/">Microsoft Golf</a>.</p>
<p>Banff Springs Golf Club is located in Alberta, Canada. Designed in 1928 by the late Stanley Thompson, one of the world's most foremost golf architects, Banff features a course which rolls gently along the Bow River under the snow capped peaks of Sulphur Mountain, Mountain Rundle and Tunnel Mountain.</p>
<p>The Links design team meticulously reproduced the first 18 holes, The Sulphur Nine and The Rundle Nine - 6643 yards, par 71. Ranked as a silver medal course by Golf Magazine, Banff demands accuracy with well placed traps to snare poor shots. Its most famous hole is "The Devil's Cauldron", a magnificent par 3 played from a tee perched high above a tiny emerald lake.</p>

<p><em>Ant Run</em> is an adaption of the popular pipe-laying games ... in this case, the task is to keep an ant running through tunnels as long as possible. The player can rotate the tunnel pieces to try to keep him going.</p>

<p><em>NFL Quarterback Club 97</em> utilizes many of the same gameplay elements seen in <a href="/search/?q=Madden+NFL+97">Madden NFL 97</a> - including the kicking T-meter, the three-quarter overhead primary camera angle, and the button assignments and controls. Player animations are fluid and realistic, and the player sprites have clearly visible jersey numbers and names. </p>
<p>The game also boasts a historic simulation mode. Players can choose among 50 different classic NFL game situations and try to rewrite history. Imagine...it's December 23, 1973. The Dallas Cowboys are down 28-13 to the 49ers. With under a minute remaining, the Boys score a touchdown and recover an onside kick. Can you complete one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history?</p>

<p>You are a space pilot who can travel through time. Now your mission is to land in South America at the time of the European invasion, and find the mysterious treasure of the great Inca civilization.</p>
<p><em>Inca</em> is a game that combines adventure and action, or to put it more correctly, it's an adventure games with many action elements (such as space combat).</p>

<p><em>WipEout</em> is a futuristic racing game set in the year 2052. Racing for one of four teams, the player competes in the F3600 Anti-Gravity Racing League on six tracks. Each team's hovercraft racer has different ratings in speed, acceleration and turning. In addition to high-speed racing, there is also shooting in the game, with different weapon pickups like rockets and mines available, useful for slowing one's opponents down. Shields can also be picked up and can block the weapons' effects.</p>
<p>There are championship, single race and time trial modes. Winning the championship in the regular Venom class unlocks the Rapier class, where the craft are faster and the tracks have slightly different looks.</p>
<p>There is also a two-player mode where two opponents can race and shoot at each other.</p>

<p><em>Crush, Crumble &amp; Chomp</em> let you assume the role of a movie-style monster, becoming one of any number of giant crawling, swimming, or flying beasts. Technically CC&amp;C is a strategy game; you have to keep an eye on several statistics, including your health, appetite, and even such minute details as the tilt of your head (helps in aiming breath weapons). Destroy the city before the human military destroys you!</p>

<p>The third part of the Blood trilogy, this game is set at the very dawn of time: Mere nanoseconds after the Big Bang. This is where the time-travelling shenanigans of the second game ended up. Now you, Commander Blood, are the only evolved lifeform in the entire universe, and it's up to you to correct the problems you've caused and guide the development of all other life. You start the game with a few amoeba-esque creatures at your disposal. Find a planet to put them on, then take care of them, help them migrate to other worlds, evolve and mutate.  </p>
<p><em>Big Bug Bang: Le Retour de Commander Blood</em> uses the exact same interface and many of the same graphical sequences as its predecessor <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1046/commander-blood/">Commander Blood</a>. It is a surreal, galaxy-spanning, humorous sci-fi adventure.</p>

<p>The PC version of <em>Alien Breed</em> is an enhanced version of the Amiga's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8417/alien-breed-special-edition-92/">Alien Breed: Special Edition 92</a>. It includes all 12 of that game's levels and intersperses them with half a dozen all-new stages.</p>

<p>A scientific outpost on a far-off planet has been attacked. Nothing is known about the attackers since all communications have been destroyed. A team of marines is dispatched to investigate and destroy the unknown invaders. As their dropships enter the atmosphere and approach the base, the defense lasers, damaged in the onslaught, move into action. They launch wild bursts of laser fire at the approaching marines, who are not prepared and take heavy losses. Rookies Nash and Jordan crash-land and must fight off the alien force.</p>
<p>As with the previous <a href="/search/?q=Alien+Breed">Alien Breed</a>, the gameplay is viewed from above. Your soldier shoots his way through the levels, collecting keys, ammunition, and credits along the way. Computers can be logged into to buy new weapons. A new 'retreat' mode allows you to fire while moving backward.</p>
<p>The game is largely non-linear, as most levels have multiple exits, and the game can be moved through in different ways. There is a variety of indoor and outdoor levels, although you spend most time inside some of the multi-level towers. After activating a self-destruct mechanism, you must escape the building quickly.</p>

<p>Exploration is a strategy-simulation game set during the Age of Sail. From the time of Vasco da Gama and Columbus (the late 1400s) to the French Revolution (1789), you are put in charge of a nation's imperial destiny. This means financing voyages, assembling crews, sending out land and sea expeditions, founding colonies, and occasionally engaging other European powers for global dominance.</p>
<p>Exploration may seem familiar to players of <a href="/search/?q=Civilzation">Civilization</a>, <a href="/search/?q=Colonization">Colonization</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4159/conquest-of-the-new-world/">Conquest of the New World</a>, <a href="/search/?q=Gold+of+the+Americas">Gold of the Americas</a>, and even <a href="/search/?q=Sid+Meier+Pirates!">Sid Meier's Pirates!</a>, as they borrow from exploration and cover a similar topic.</p>

<p>In <em>The Lost Tribe</em> you get to go back in time and lead a prehistoric tribe to a new homeland. When the volcano that your tribe has always called "home" explodes and molten lava engulfs your village at its base, you have little choice but to assume command of your frightened tribe and seek out a different place to live. This means providing for your tribe's food, shelter, safety, and general happiness all along the way. </p>
<p>Six different scenarios provide a variety of challenges for players of various skill levels. The game's educational side is present in teaching the player about prehistoric cultures, artifacts, and mythology.</p>

<p>As the name suggests, this flight simulation gives you a chance to fly most of the famous fighter models from World War 1 to the present day. You can fly the Sopwith Camel, the Spitfire, the F-4 Phantom, the Harrier Jump Jet, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the Fokker DR1, and the MiG-23, each with realistic and functional cockpit features.  The game offers 6 historical missions, a duel mode and a "What If?" air duel. In the latter, you can apply weapons from different time periods to aircraft, and try to shoot down a modern plane using an older one.</p>

<p>Olympic Games set in the stone age. Events include clubbing, dinoracing, firemaking, matetossing, saber racing and the dino vault.</p>
<p>Supporting up to four players (six on the NES), you must select your caveman from a total of six different characters with different backgrounds, all with different skills and drawbacks.</p>

<p>This was an early commercial instance of Card Solitaire.  There are 8 different solitaire games, including Klondike, Calculation, and Three Shuffles and a Draw. You can also play "Aunt Anne's Tour" where you play all 8 in row, trying for the highest combined score, and 3 children's games. In addition, there are 10 different choices for deck art.</p>

<p>This is the original Warcraft Battle Chest and includes 3 games from the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/194/warcraft-universe/">Warcraft</a> series. They are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/371/warcraft-orcs-humans/">Warcraft: Orcs &amp; Humans</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1377/warcraft-ii-beyond-the-dark-portal/">Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal</a> Expansion Set</li>
</ul>

<p>Before there was a game called Master of Orion, SimTex head Steve Barcia presented a prototype to MicroProse Software and gaming journalists Alan Emrich and Tom Hughes.</p>
<p>This game is called Star Lords. It is much like Master of Orion, only rather unpolished (even by the humble production standards of the almighty MOO).  The basics are there, though: you start out with one planet in one star system and are charged with building a galactic empire.  This means researching techs, building ships and colonies, and confronting alien civilizations.  Several randomly generated opponents will do their best to stop you from realizing your goal.</p>
<p>Released as freeware in 2001, Star Lords is an artifact for those interested in the history of MOO and game design in general.</p>

<p>A mouse-only game for DOS, Klondike Solitaire is a simulation of its namesake.  Using the mouse to click cards, you move cards of alternate suits onto each other in an effort to move them off the tableau.  Cheating is technically allowed, but doing so will get you "yelled at" by the program.</p>

<p>Solitare (sic) is a simulation of Klondike Solitaire with some variations in gameplay.  Up to 5 players can play, and the computer can be one of those players.  Since a "score" is kept, you can also pit each player against each other by forcing all players to start with the same cards/deck/shuffle.  </p>
<p>Klondike Solitaire, of course, is a game of moving cards of alternate suits onto each other in an effort to move them off the tableau.  This particular version allows you to play by standard or casino rules.</p>

<p><em>Ishido</em> is a solitaire board game played with tiles, similar to <a href="/search/?q=shanghai">Shanghai</a>. The objective is to place all of the tiles onto the board and obtain the highest possible score by following specific rules of play. There are ways to play that can dramatically increase the score, which makes the game very strategic in nature. Additionally, when desired, the player can get an oracle reading by asking a question, which is answered when the player makes a very elegant play (four-way match). </p>
<p>There is also a "construction set" where players can create their own tiles and backgrounds. The game comes with numerous tile sets and backgrounds.</p>

<p><em>Merchant Colony</em> is more ambitious in scope than its title suggests. You are charged with the development of not just one colony, but an entire colonial empire during the Age of Exploration. </p>
<p>Actually, you're also a merchant prince as well...so you must not only found colonies, but build ships, load them with trade goods and commodities, and do everything you can to turn a profit through the exchange of goods at ports across the globe. Other nations (under control of the AI) will try to compete with you, and perhaps even make war on you.</p>

<p>A follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/102/impressions-games/">Impressions</a>' earlier game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4254/merchant-colony/">Merchant Colony</a>, <em>High Seas Trader</em> puts you in the shoes of a young impoverished nobleman who must take to the high seas (where else?) in order to regain fame and fortune.</p>
<p>You'll trade in a variety of goods, deal with banks and merchants, acquire property, and outfit your ship with guns, equipment, and crew. Sailing is done from a first person perspective behind the ship's wheel. The seas are, of course, never safe; pesky pirates will attempt to intercept you and relieve you of your worldly possessions.</p>

<p><em>The Casebooks of Ace Harding</em> includes Game Boy ports of <a href="/search/?q=D%C3%A9j%C3%A0+Vu:+A+Nightmare+Comes+True!!">Déjà Vu: A Nightmare Comes True!!</a> (previously released on Game Boy) and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7743/deja-vu-ii-lost-in-las-vegas/">Déjà Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas</a>. Deja Vu is a port of a 1987 game that had been made for various systems. It's a classic detective story, with you waking up to a dead body with total amnesia - you don't know who you are, or how you got there, and you don't know who the corpse is, either. Déjà Vu II had never been released for Game Boy before, and was put in the same cart, selling for the price of one game.</p>

<p>Breach 3 is a squad-level tactical combat game in a futuristic sci-fi setting. Aliens and robots are some of the enemies you face in battles witnessed from a top-down perspective (contrasted with X-Com's isometric viewpoint). Your squad leader gains experience from each completed mission - assuming he doesn't die, ending your campaign prematurely. Combat is real-time, but pauses automatically when you need to make important decisions.</p>
<p>An added feature of Breach 3 is that the program can link up with Impressions' game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8089/rules-of-engagement-2/">Rules of Engagement 2</a>; character attributes and experience can be transferred between the two games.</p>

<p>This is a mixture of action and adventure in a game based off of Clive Barker's movie "Nightbreed" (which is based of Barker's novella Cabal). You play Aaron Boone, the main character from both the book and the movie. Boone is attempting to get to a planet of bliss called Midian. His attempts at gaining acceptable go wrong when he is bitten by a cannibal, and the Police of Earth find Midian and set out to destroy it. Boone must stop them.</p>
<p>The game has several different sequences, most arcade based, trying to bring sequences from the movie to life on the computer screen. There are eight action types from driving to Midian, running from Peloquin the cannibal, or fighting 'The Mask', a serial killer whom Boone is mistaken for.</p>

<p><em>Shanghai</em> is one of the first video game adaptations of the tile-based game played with the Chinese mahjong stones - essentially a puzzle game that has little to do with real mahjong rules.</p>
<p>The gameplay involves 144 tiles, each depicting different images, which have to be removed by matching them into pairs. The tiles are arranged in a gridded pattern, which is higher near the centre. A tile can only be removed if it has no tile next to it on at least one side.</p>
<p>This computer implementation can generate a random board layout to take on and features five preset challenges, some of which have time limits of five or ten minutes, as well as a multiplayer mode.</p>

<p>Being an action title, the game starts off where Indy is about to have an excuse to use his trusty whip: in Monte Carlo, after he recruited headstrong former student Sophie to his aid and determined the location of ancient discs needed to open the door to the lost city of Atlantis. Most action takes place in isometric view, although there are some variations along the way to keep up interest. There are even some adventure-game elements, such as Indy's inventory which you can fill with various objects to use (i.e. money to buy things). They are mostly easy though, and are there only to relieve the tension from knuckle-blistering action.</p>

<p><em>Indiana Jones in Revenge of the Ancients</em> is a text adventure game. Hack your way through the steaming, tangled Mexican jungle. Fight off the onrush of vertigo as you grope through the treacherous, tunnel maze in the treasure-laden Tepotzteco Pyramid. Tighten your grip as you dangle from the wing of an airborne World War I DeHavilland. Whatever it takes, Indiana Jones must stop the cruel Nazi, Plebinheim, and his SS thugs from unleashing the power of the Mazatec Power Key against the world. Vicious bats, venomous snakes, marauding bandits - even for the daring Indiana Jones, this is going to be tough!</p>

<p>The English throne lies empty in 1268 A.D.  You and 5 lords are locked in a struggle for the crown.  Reap the benefits of successful feudal governing, castle-building, castle-sieging, and land battle to conquer your rivals and claim the kingdom.</p>

<p>One of the oldest releases by The Learning Company, Moptown Parade is an edutainment game aimed at teaching basic pattern recognition and logic skills to kids aged 4-7. The goal is simple: choose the traits of Moppet creatures to line up in a queue, obeying the given number of rules. For instance, if the rule says "2," you must choose the traits of the next Moppet so that it differs from the previous Moppet by 2 traits, e.g. a fat, blue Moppet can stand next to a thin, red Moppet. The number of rules, i.e. traits, can be changed from 1 to 4, thus either making the game more or less challenging (although changing the traits to 4, the maximum, will just result in your Moppets being an alternate sequence of two types of Moppets).</p>

<p><em>Acheton</em> is a home computer conversion of the mainframe adventure of the same name. Similar to <a href="/search/?q=Mainframe+Zork">Zork</a> (which was released on the VAX mainframe not long before <em>Acheton's</em> original appearance), it is a fantasy treasure hunt set in a claustrophobic dungeon. It boasts over 400 rooms and 200 objects, thereby making it much bigger than <em>Zork</em>. </p>
<p>As with many games of this kind, most time is spent exploring the environment and solving item-based puzzles. Everything is described solely with plain text and the player interacts with the game by typing in phrases that describe their desired action, e.g. "take bottle". It also features a help function with graded hints.</p>

<p>Operation Neptune is a math edutainment title similar to <a href="/search/?q=Treasure+Mountain">Treasure Mountain</a>, but aimed at older kids. As with other <a href="/search/?q=Super+Solvers">Super Solvers</a> games, Operation Neptune combines platform action with educational puzzles. The game helps build a solid math and problem solving foundation with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios, and percentages. Problem solving hints, calculator, and customization options are all only a keystroke away. Real-life problems such as using area, distance and volume to make measurements help kids see how math can be used in the real world.</p>

<p>Shub-Niggurath and her minions have been defeated, but that doesn't mean that Quake's forces are finished. Arriving back at home base, you find it overrun with more of the hellish creatures. Armagon, another one of Quake's lieutenants, wants to continue where Shub-Niggurath failed. It's up to you to stop Quake once more.</p>
<p><em>Scourge of Armagon</em> is the first official mission pack for <a href="/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a>. It contains 15 new single-player levels spread over three episodes, a new deathmatch level, and new monsters, weapons and power-ups.</p>
<p>There are two new monsters: The Centroid is a huge mechanical scorpion who uses his sting for close attacks and two nail guns implanted in his claws for firing from afar. The Gremlin is a small and fast creature which can steal the player's weapon and use it against him.</p>
<p>New weapons include the proximity mine launcher, which fires grenades that will attach themselves to walls, ceilings or floors. The grenades are motion-sensitive and are triggered when creatures walk near them. The laser cannon fires energy blasts, which can bounce off walls, possibly coming back at the player or hurting another enemy. The final new weapon is the Mjolnir, being the hammer of Thor. Running on energy cells, it sends out bolts of lightning at enemies when hammered on the floor.</p>
<p>Among the new power-ups are the Empathy Shield, which gives some of the damage received by the player back to the attacker and the Horn of Conjuring, which summons a creature to fight by the player's side.</p>

<p>Pit your business and marketing skills against as many as three other competitors while raising and lowering your buying and selling prices for a variety of goods on the interplanetary market.

<p><em>World of Xeen</em> combines two games - <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3423/might-and-magic-clouds-of-xeen/">Clouds of Xeen</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3424/might-and-magic-darkside-of-xeen/">Darkside of Xeen</a> - into a single game that can be played continuously. The player-controlled party can travel between the worlds of the two games using special devices that can find through exploration.

<p>An original <a href="/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a> add-on, <em>Dissolution of Eternity</em> sets out to expand upon the <em>Quake</em> universe by adding something fresh, while preserving the basic concept of the game. To this end, <em>Dissolution</em> incorporates new themes and adds a number of new monsters, weapons, and levels. </p>
<p>Armaments such as the grappling hook, multi-rocket, and multi-grenade launchers, and lava nailgun all make their appearance. New foes include the Hell Spawn, Electric Eels, Phantom Swordsmen, Ogres, Wraths and Guardians.</p>

<p>Star Legions is the third installment in the Star Fleet gaming universe.  Star Legions is much narrower in focus than its predecessors, though; you are charged with managing the planetary invasion forces of the Krellan Empire against the "evil" (good?) United Galactic Alliance.  The result is a bit like playing Empire in a sci-fi environment.</p>
<p>Success in the initial invasions means promotions, personal honors, and even greater armies to command in future campaigns.</p>

<p>A follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=ACE">ACE</a>. Similar to its predecessor, <em>ACE 2</em> is an oldie head-to-head air combat flight sim set in modern days of aviation. The game has a very strong arcade feel, as all the missions you fly are nondescript or generic. Your plane is also a generic, hypothetical modern fighter, and the goal is to fly different sorties to kill enemy aircraft. Very similar to ACE, except that you can now play a 2-player hotseat game, or solo competition against the computer, in split-screen mode.</p>

<p>You need to help Roger Rabbit get out of each room he is stuck in so he can capture Baby Herman before Mommy returns home.  You will want to try using everything around Roger.

<p>Front Lines is a tactical wargame of the "near" future  (set in 2020 or 2044, depending on whether you play the U. S. or German version). It can run in either single-player or two-player mode, and can use a head-to-head feature by modem. All the usual forces of the modern army are present, but by this time heavy laser weapons have become practical, soldiers wear powered armor, unmanned ground strike aircraft are common, tanks can hover as well as roll, and artillery projectiles are even more powerful and accurate than they are today.</p>
<p>You command your army, which may incorporate some U. S. forces, in the European theater. Some of the opposing forces answer to a corporate conglomerate.  The roles of offensive, defensive, and supply assets have to balanced properly. The game progresses through a series of land battles over various kinds of terrain -- and the terrain gives varying combinations of advantages and disadvantages. The game has some limited representation of Europe's real-world geographical features, which gives a sense of why they are militarily important. For example, you can see the importance of the Fulda Gap, just as it was important in previous World Wars, and just as it would have been important if the Cold War had become hot.</p>
<p>Each battle has one or more objectives, and also a time limit. To win, you must accomplish your objectives while stopping the enemy from accomplishing his, and you must do this before time runs out.  Each objective accomplished earns you a certain number of victory points.  At the battle's end, the winner is the player with the most victory points.</p>

He also has to collect enough "proof" of the aliens existence (brown coins left behind when they are jumped on), so his family members will help him when he meets a boss (characters such as Nelson and Sideshow Bob). This won't be easy since the Space Mutants are "using" human bodies as disguise. In order to discover who are the real Space Mutants, Bart must use his X-ray Specs.</p>
<p>The ways Bart can get rid of those objects sought by the Space Mutants are numerous. For instance, in the first stage, Bart must get rid of purple objects.

It has a number of pluses including being based off a competition-winning chess engine, a database of 500 games, an SVGA isometric chessboard and the license of the world's reigning chess champion, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/241864/garry-kasparov/">Garry Kasparov</a>. Garry Kasparov pops up in video windows during play to give advice such as: "Your Queen is in Jeopardy", "Watch your Rook" and other context sensitive kibitzing. This was EA's first use of windowed video.</p>

<p>In October of 1889, the formula for a new and extraordinarily powerful explosive disappeared from the Ministry of Defense. Sherlock's brother Mycroft, an eccentric but influential government servant, launched an official though secret inquiry into the theft, but his effort was thwarted. Just before asking Sherlock to undertake an independent investigation of the theft, Mycroft was seriously injured in an explosion that leveled the Diogenes Club. Sherlock, believing his brother had been victimized by a random gas leak, retired disconsolate to 221B Baker St. Dr. Watson, with a little luck and much effort, managed to reanimate his friend by posing one critical question: "What if the explosion that injured Mycroft had not been an accident?" The answer to this query sent Holmes down a long and twisted road of discovery. Sherlock, for the first time in his career, acknowledged that his motivation was something other than a desire for justice. With single-minded ferocity he pursued, cajoled, questioned, and confronted suspects from smug Mayfair to the pitiful and dangerous East End. Gradually, through observation and deduction, he developed a picture of a huge criminal enterprise initiated by a masterful adversary. To penetrate this perilous conspiracy and frustrate its intent he solved several capital crimes. Holmes applied his customary courage, acumen, and intelligence to these daunting tasks. In so doing he quashed a potentially volatile international incident, defended the national security, protected the honor of the royal family, exonerated the innocent and delivered rough and swift punishment to the guilty. The shocking and surprising resolution of the case made it necessary to seal Watson's precious account for 100 years. That is how The Case of the Rose Tattoo became one of the Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes.</p>
<p>The Case of the Rose Tattoo is part of the Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes kept by Dr. John H. Watson and the sequel to The Case of the Serrated Scalpel. Accompany Holmes as he sets foot in 50 locations and interacts with 90 characters. All the characters are costume and speech specific to Victorian London.</p>

<p>The story begins in 1997. It's the dead of night in the city of Los Angeles, and there has been a mass murder at a general hospital on the outskirts of downtown. The perpetrator is the director of the hospital, Richter Harris. He has shut himself up in the hospital and taken a number of patients as hostages, leaving the police helpless and unable to move in. After hearing the situation, Richter's only daughter, Laura Harris, rushes to Los Angeles from San Francisco to the tragic scene at the hospital. Upon entering, Laura finds herself transported to an old mansion, while the disembodied voice of her father pleads with her to leave. Nevertheless, she must press forward to save her father and herself.</p>
<p><em>D</em> is a puzzle game requiring Laura to solve esoteric inventory puzzles on a very strict time limit. Each of the game's four discs must be completed in about thirty minutes each, and saving is not an option. The time is kept track of using Laura's pocket watch. The pocket watch can also be used to supply hints for puzzles, but after three uses the glass will shatter and it will stop working. The game also has multiple endings.</p>

<p>This is the first of a planned trilogy of games based on Clive Barker's movie Nightbreed (the second game was <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4266/clive-barkers-nightbreed-the-interactive-movie/">Nightbreed: The Interactive Movie</a>, and the third game was never released). This is a side-scrolling action game where Boone must fight his way through Midian, fighting the Sons of the Free and the Berserkers.</p>
<p>There are five legs to Boone's quest as listed in the manual:</p>
<p>1) Collect the 3 keys to Midian; one is located on each level. In order to obtain the 3rd key, you must defeat the MASK (although he will subsequently escape).</p>
<p>2) Work your way around the Necropolis and down through Midian to the Nightbreeds' God, BAPHOMET, who will then baptize you. This will enable you to transform into CABAL for short periods of time. CABAL can withstand attack better than BOONE and has greater strength than his alter ego.</p>
<p>3) Open the door to the BERSERKERS chamber.</p>
<p>4) Work your way up to the surface of Midian to free the Breed. They then tell you that the MASK has your girlfriend, LORI.</p>
<p>5) Descend back down and engage in the ultimate battle with the MASK. With victory achieved, you must get back to the surface of Midian where you will be re-united with LORI.</p>

<p>Only your off-road driving abilities will be enough to pull you to first place in these races. Play alone or with up to 3 other players (depending on the version)  in this classic arcade game.</p>

<p>The evil sorcerer Suzar and his army of mutated humanoids attacked the land of Anar and defeated its bravest warriors in a bloody battle. You were the only one who was able to escape. You were picked up by a royal merchant ship and brought to the king Darius. The people of Anar know the ancient legends, that tells about magical sword and shield, whose power alone is able to defeat Suzar.

<p><em>Legend of the Sword</em> is a fantasy adventure game with very slight RPG elements (top-down view, day and night cycle, world map exploration, traditional RPG-like plot, etc.). But the core gameplay is that of a pure puzzle-solving adventure. You interact with the environment by typing commands, and only a few of them are represented by icons (movement in eight directions as well as going in and out).</p>

<p>More of a simulation than an action game, with a multimedia showcase (the game's got thousands of mini-videos, voiceovers, etc.). </p>

The only other pilots are an old cyborg and the starbase captain but then none seem needed since there has been no activity in this sector for a long, long time. All this changes when, on your watch, an asteroid storm appears and is headed for the base....</p>
<p>The game uses a polygon-based engine, with graphics that put the emphasis on line-drawing and very radical lightsourcing as a way to convey the lack of visibility on space thanks to pockets of darkness created by asteroids, etc. This makes for less dogfighting and more hunting-like action as the main gameplay objective.</p>

<p>A "Quake total conversion", this game pretty much only has the double-barreled shotgun and the engine to relate it to id's Quake, but what the heck.</p>
<p>You have 19 new levels packed with completely new enemies to fight through. New weapons include uzis, a foe-to-friend converter, an inflator gun and an utility belt that includes flares, plastique, and grappling hooks.</p>
<p>Multiplayer choices include standard deathmatch, as well as capture the flag.</p>

<p>Another Wizard Works compilation cash-in. this time an add-on for id's Quake.</p>
<p>The new campaign is simply a collection of 26 new single-player levels sprawled over three new episodes, plus 9 deathmatch / capture the flag maps. Included are four new monsters and a new weapon; the slicer, which is based on the nailgun and shoots icy shurikens.</p>

<p>In this semi-FMV game, you play a rookie facing his first game as starting quarterback on a fictional team, and this just happens to be The Big Game.</p>
<p>The entire game consists of this confrontation. When starting the game you watch a video of a kickoff and return, and then you get to select among 110 plays (100 passing and 10 running). The meat of the game is on the passing plays, where you are switched to a 3rd person behind-the-quarterback view from which you can see oncoming rushers. You can also zoom in on any receiver and via a targeting cursor make passes, or scramble if you don't find an open man.</p>
<p>Graphics consist mostly of FMV and super-imposed digitized images of no more than 320 x 200 pixels in resolution. There are also 6 difficulty settings to choose from.</p>

<p><em>The Brain</em> follows the same premise as its predecessor <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/109/life-death/">Life &amp; Death</a>, wherein the player controls an up-and-coming surgeon who must perform simulated surgery on patients with varying problems. The sequel focuses on the brain, whereas the first game focused on the abdomen. </p>
<p>The graphics and gameplay have been improved from the first game, but, other than the new patient cases, it plays more or less the same.</p>

<p>In the 24th century, on the frozen Jovian moon of Europa, Earth has established a colony to extract water from the moon. One of the mining facilities accidentally discovers on their excavations members of a long-buried alien race. The creatures, now awake, slaughter all the miners and destroy the moon's capital city. It's up to you now to defend what's left of the colony and eliminate the aliens, or at least hold them off until help arrives.</p>
<p>Gameplay consists of 3D space combat action (though mostly on the moon's surface) with a twist: you don't play a specific character or campaign. Instead, you are placed in the shoes of different characters with each new mission, each of them trying their best to survive using 7 different vehicles, from starfighters, to recon scouts, to ground-based turrets.</p>

<p>Made by the same team that produced <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/773/tfx/">TFX</a>, this simulation focuses on the Eurofighter 2000.</p>
<p>Set in a fictional campaign against Russia, you are called into action when a Russian force attempts to take control of Norway and Sweden as a foothold to an invasion of northern Europe. You'll play through a variety of randomly-generated missions ranging from patrols to ground strikes. Included as well is a fairly extensive multi-player support, including network and modem play.</p>

<p><em>Lion</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/754/wolf/">Wolf</a>: you are now placed in the same simulation environment, but this time you simulate a....you guessed it, a lion.</p>
<p>As in the original you take the role of a lion chosen from a pool of 20 different animals, with varying attributes, in existing prides or handpicked groups made by yourself. You can control a single animal or all members of a pride and you get to play in either a 20-mission mode (such as survive for a day) or a simulation mode, which allows you to do whatever you want.</p>
<p>Unlike <em>Wolf</em>, which takes place in three different locales, <em>Lion</em> is played only on the savannas and plains of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania (tough in four different seasons).</p>
<p>Also includes a "Lion Safari", an interactive tour of the leonine life on the Serengeti.</p>

<p><em>Unnecessary Roughness '96</em> is the 1996's incarnation of Accolade's series of American football games. Updates in this version attempt to correct the "arcadish" feel the previous had with a much bigger emphasis on team management and coaching. You can buy entire teams, make any trades, set salary caps, manage rosters and injuries, etc. </p>
<p>The statistical side of the game is spruced up, with more realistic scores, and an additional play-designer added to the editable features, which allows you to store up to 1,300 plays, to which you can even add audible calls.</p>
<p>On the gameplay side of things new features include an automatic pass reception which allows you to basically concentrate on using the quarterback. Also available is two player cooperative or vs gameplay modes, and new, clearer graphics, animations and sounds.</p>

<p>Dirk the Daring is a heroic, if clumsy knight. When Princess Daphne was kidnapped by the dragon, Singe, and taken to his castle... Dirk set out to rescue her. Due to a lack of disk and memory space in the systems of the day, the port of the arcade game, <em>Dragon's Lair</em> was split into two parts. The <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=722301231265">first part</a> covered the half of the game dealing with entering Singe's Castle and saving the Princess. This second part, named <em>Dragon's Lair II: Escape from Singe's Castle</em> completes the game, continuing the adventure of Dirk the Daring after slaying Singe the Dragon.</p>
<p>Dirk the Daring is controlled by the player, who views Dirk's actions on the screen from third-person. The game is reactive and players must press the right controller direction or action button at the right time to have Dirk avoid traps, defeat monsters and otherwise stay alive.</p>

<p><em>Livingstone, I Presume?</em> is a video adventure technologically almost identical to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2090/goody/">Goody</a>, however this game has a more complex map and an obligation to alternate among three weapons and a pole that the player has from the beginning of the game.</p>
<p>The name of the game indicates a tour around each of the searches of David Livingstone that carry out the journalist Henry Morton Stanley in Africa in the 19th century. There the resemblance to reality ends and turns into a platform game.</p>

<p>It's just 10 days away from the great bike drop bash happening at Sturgis South Dakota, and you're miles away!</p>
<p>Ride your Harley through the open countryside to get there in time.  You must dodge fallen rocks, automobiles, outrun the police, and rescue a few wayward females with car troubles along the way.</p>
<p>During your adventure, you'll be required to upgrade your motorcycle, join cycling events in local towns, and talk to natives in the local stores.</p>
<p>Once you get to Sturgis, then the real fun begins!</p>

<p><em>CART Racing</em> (short for Championship Auto Racing Teams) is a re-release of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4082/indycar-racing-ii/">IndyCar Racing II</a>, with Windows 95 Rendition 3D acceleration support, and slipstreamed with some patches. The game simulates open-wheel races with realistic physics, an official license, and extensive garage and setup options. There is multiplayer support for two players in total.</p>

<p>In the far future, a seemingly incurable virus known as PMA struck humanity with devastating results. Eventually a cure is found based on an other-worldly element known as Glomavine which is mined by the Lynx corporation. As the game starts the Lynx corp. is exploiting the supply of Glomavine and tries to control a monopoly at the expense of everyone's lives.  You are a fighter pilot who gets convinced by a Professor Rawlin to stand up and start a Robin Hood-like campaign against Lynx.</p>
<p>Gameplay consists of earth-based Wing Commander-like space combat and you proceed through the game accomplishing missions made up of (usually) several objectives involving some level of strategic thinking. Available weapons include standard missiles, beam weapons and a deployable remote controlled tank-like probe that changes the pace of the game a little.</p>
<p>The graphics engine uses voxel technology to render landscapes a la Comanche, and uses pre-rendered bitmaps to display enemies and objects.</p>

<p>This is one of the few fighting games that follows the <a href="/search/?q=Killer+Instinct">Killer Instinct</a> school of fighting, that is: lots of eye candy, techno soundtrack and combo moves that allow you to string together dozens of hits.</p>
<p>Storywise the game puts you in the shoes of a deceased character among a gallery of several equally dead characters competing in hell on a tournament sponsored by Lucifer himself with the grand prize being to return to the mortal plane.</p>
<p>The characters include the standard amount of "real" martial artists like the Bruce Lee clone and the dominatrix, as well as some fantasy characters like demons, vikings, etc. each with his own array of special moves, combos and finishing moves.</p>
<p>Graphically the game pulls some nifty tricks. Backgrounds consist of looping FMV and pre-rendered sprites with pyrotechnic effects, reflecting water, etc.., the camera zooms in and out of the fighters, etc.</p>

<p>Fleet Defender is a single player F14 combat sim with many finer details represented, including the ability to switch between the pilot and rio seats.  This is the type of simulation where the player is a realistic part of a mission and not necessarily a 'rambo.'</p>

<p><em>Burnout</em> is a racing simulation devoted to the world of drag racing. You fine-tune your car in the hopes of then being able to send it at insanely high speeds in short, linear tracks. And this is what makes the bulk of the game, a dizzying array of customization options are available for you to construct the perfect hot-rod, essentially making it a "grease monkey" simulation.</p>
<p>Additional features include bracket racing (where you select an estimated time based on your practice runs, and try to meet it against other cars), quick race and a complete season against 64 computer controlled cars. Also available is multiplayer racing through modem, LAN or internet.</p>
<p>The graphics engine is a suped-up version of the X-Car engine, and supports 3D acceleration with all sorts of nifty effects such as smoke, sparks, tire distortion, etc.</p>

<p><em>Links: Championship Course: Castle Pines Golf Club</em> is a golf course add-on compatible with the following games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/492/links-the-challenge-of-golf/">Links: The Challenge of Golf</a><em> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3757/links-386-pro/">Links 386 Pro</a></em> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14214/microsoft-golf/">Microsoft Golf</a></li>

small size. </p>
<p>Your ability can be enhanced by collecting Power-Ups.</p>

Once again this game is a puzzle-solving point-and-click adventure. This game is much larger than its predecessor, with hundreds of screens, mazes, etc. The player can control three characters throughout the game, a la <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/719/maniac-mansion-day-of-the-tentacle/">Day of the Tentacle</a>.</p>

<p><em>Inca II: Nations of Immortality</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=020626835022">Inca</a>, the surreal space combat/adventure game with a fantasy take on Incan mythologies.</p>

Eventually you'll blow it as things take a turn for the worse, and you'll have to return to your role as El Dorado, and save your kid as well as stop your arch-enemy, Aguirre who somehow has plans for the use of this mysterious asteroid.</p>
<p>Gameplay consists of space combat in the "Tumi" a yellow wedge-like starship using pre-rendered bitmaps to depict graphics, with puzzle-solving sequences in between as well as digitized video cutscenes used to tell the story.</p>

<p>Note that this mission disk was neither developed nor produced by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/61/id-software-inc/">id Software</a>, and was instead a licensed title.</p>

Mission 3: Ultimate Challenge - Accessory Game for Spear of Destiny

<p>An expansion disk released both in standalone floppy version, and bundled with the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D:+Spear+of+Destiny">Spear of Destiny</a> in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Spear+of+Destiny+Super+CD+Pack">Spear of Destiny Super CD pack</a>.

<p><em>A.G.E.</em> is a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6710/galactic-empire/">Galactic Empire</a>. Like its predecessor, it is a first-person space exploration game rendered in 3D. As you pilot your spacecraft around the planets and stars, engaging in space combat and conversation with other characters, you unravel the Conquer the Universe plot. The game is similar to <a href="/search/?q=elite">Elite</a> in that you are relatively free to travel to wherever you please.</p>

<p>Based on the movie. Willow consists of various action sequences which recreate different scenes from the movie including an escape from the dungeons, lost in the ice caves, escaping from guards in the woods, and others. The player can go through all the sequences in order, or read the story in the form of a scrolling manuscript and click on keywords to jump to a particular action sequence.</p>

<p><em>Baoxiao Chuji</em> is a Taiwanese-made side-scrolling shoot-em-up. The game takes place underwater most of the time and takes a decidedly "kid-friendly" approach by replacing baddies with cute-looking monsters like octopus, clams, and other deep sea denizens. The player pilots a cute toy craft, complete with the huge winding mechanism in the back.</p>

<p>The object of <em>Paperboy</em> is to deliver papers to your customers while inflicting as much damage as possible to the houses of your non-customers. To make things more difficult, numerous obstacles get in your way including construction workers, rogue tires, skateboarders, dogs and cats, cars, and even the occasional tornado.</p>

<p><em>Mission Supernova</em> is a shareware adventure in German. The player is "Horst Hummel", the spaceship's chef de cuisine. Usually this would be a job without much stress, but when you wake up, the whole crew is gone. You're alone on board. </p>
<p>The game is a classic point &amp; click adventure. It features a verb-based interface very similar to early <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/72/lucasfilm-games/">LucasArts</a> games, e.g. <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/305/zak-mckracken-and-the-alien-mindbenders/">Zak McKracken</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/714/maniac-mansion/">Maniac Mansion</a>. Like in those games, gameplay mainly consists of exploring rooms/scenes, collecting various items and solving puzzles. Some items can be combined to form new items, and most of the puzzles require clever use of collected things. From time to time, talking to other characters is also necessary, which involves choosing among different dialog options. Some scenes have a time limit, and it is also possible to die or get stuck in various ways.</p>
<p>Scenes are rather static, there is no scrolling in rooms. The main character itself is not visible in game, somewhat similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Myst">Myst</a>, although the perspective is not really first-person. You can interact with items at the other side of the room without actually moving there. </p>
<p><em>Mission Supernova</em> is split into two episodes. The first episode was available for free, whereas the second one had to be ordered for money (shareware model). Meanwhile, both episodes can be downloaded for free.</p>

<p><em>Color Buster</em> is a puzzle game, that, like all classic puzzle games is easy to get into but hard to master. On each level, you have a goal: Push color boxes of same color together to unite them, then push the resulting box into the exit tile. Each level is time limited.</p>

<p>Netmaze is a freeware IPX network-only tank game.
You and your friends play by controlling your tank, and trying to shoot the other tanks without being killed yourself.
There are objects to hide behind, which are randomly generated, and multiple weapons. By default, you have a wimpy laser. But you can get a triple laser and a missle launcher by collecting powerups.</p>
<p>The game keeps count of each players kills, but its up to you to decide who is the winner. Maybe whoever gets to a certain number first?</p>
<p>Another feature is skins, which lets you change the look of the game. Some skins are included with the game, such as Star Wars and Star Trek skins, or you can make your own. See the links for a place to download the game.</p>

<p>A "James Bond" action/arcade game based on the movie with the same name. Your aim is to avenge the death of Felix Leiter, who was killed by the drug baron Sanchez.</p>
<p>Technically the game consists of several different vertical scrolling action sequences. In each stage, you must fly, drive or walk through a preset terrain. While doing that, you have to shoot enemies, avoid their shots and collect items (mainly ammunition). Some levels rely more on shooting, while others test your reflexes. There are 6 levels to be completed.</p>

<p>Graffiti artists live a hard life. Joe and Nat are always on the run, trying to escape New York's police. When they reach a mysterious castle, there's no way of knowing they're in deep trouble already.</p>
<p><em>Yo! Joe! Beat the Ghosts</em> is a platform game featuring two characters. The protagonists can jump, crawl, kick, beat, slide, and swim. They are even able to hold their breath when under water. If you are playing the game solely, "Joe" is your character of choice. A friend can take on Nat's part at the same PC. </p>
<p>The game's purpose is to get rid of "Professor X", who is the bad guy. The players can attack opponents using several weapons, including molotovs, chainsaws and nunchakus. <em>Yo! Joe! Beat the Ghosts</em> doesn't offer save games. The copy protection requires the original disk at every start-up.</p>

<p>Face Off! is a hockey game by developers <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1487/mindspan/">MindSpan</a>, who are better known for their <a href="/search/?q=HardBall">HardBall series</a> of baseball games. Play an exhibition game, an entire season or go straight to the playoffs and lead your team to the Stanley Cup. For the basic hockey gameplay a traditional side view is used, but whenever you or your opponent shoots at the goal the game switches to the special <em>Shot Cam</em> view. Occasionally when someone commits a nasty foul the game turns into a one-on-one fighting game; he who wins the fight can stay on the ice while the loser must spend some time in the penalty box.</p>
<p>Face Off! can be played with realistic rules, relaxed rules or with no rules at all. Other options available include the number of players per team, difficulty &amp; period length and whether or not you control the goalie during the <em>Shot Cam</em> mode.</p>
<p>Some minor coaching and management options are also included. You can design your own plays in the playbook, modify your lines, move players form your minor league team to your major league team and vice versa and make trades with the other teams in the league.</p>
<p>Face Off! doesn't have a NHL license, so all players and teams are fictional. One does have the option to rename teams &amp; players however. Multiplayer gaming comes in the form of a two player cooperative or competitive mode. Non-networked of course.</p>

<p>Enhanced version of "Capitalism". Build your personal business empire.

<p><em>Crime and Punishment</em> is a courtroom simulation, where you play the judge. The emphasis lies on deciding the punishment, rather than if the person is guilty or not - that has already been decided. The aim is to receive as many Gavels as possible (out of ten), by choosing the same sentence as a judge.</p>
<p>Cases range from perjury and theft right up to murder and rape. To help you make your decision, you can receive information about the crime. This includes the damage caused by the crime, the villain's background and personal circumstances, and his/her motive.</p>
<p>Be aware that the more information you ask for, the less gavels you receive. The AI can sometimes produce surprising choices of sentences.</p>

<p>CAP is an accurate flight simulation based around the F-14 Tomcat and the F/A-18 Hornet. Both launched from a carrier during Operation Desert Storm, you receive your missions and carry them out.</p>
<p>The usual options apply, like configuring your aircraft, and choosing a pilot, but there are some more unusual options, like calling in sick for a mission. This causes you to skip a mission if you don't like the sound of it, but if you use it too much command may get suspicious.</p>
<p>The flight model is realistic, and there are some animations. One feature missing from the PC version is the strategic side - you control the ground operations while flying to support them on the Amiga version.</p>

<p>After eons of fighting between the genders, men and women have broken into separate factions, each using genetic engineering to create new followers, and waging terrible war upon each other.</p>
<p>Upon selecting the side you wish to play (depicted as either clueless blondes who can't drive, or beer-swigging lazy oafs), you select a team of 4 for your missions, arm them up with guns and other assorted weaponry, and wreak havoc on the 'enemy' in this isometric Syndicate-like game.</p>
<p>Progress through the levels to the final conflict, collecting tanks and other assorted 'powerups' along the way, and watching the humourous cutscenes as you go.</p>

<p><em>Andromedas Erbe</em> is a German shareware adventure and sort of a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4582/mission-supernova/">Mission Supernova</a>. This time the player takes the role of Peter Platon, a private detective who has to find out the whereabouts of a missing spaceship. His search leads Platon on many planets. The protagonist of the predecessor, Horst Hummel, still has a role as secondary character.</p>
<p>The controls follow the traditional SCUMM style: the player combines verbs displayed on the bottom on the screen with objects in the game world or the inventory to issue commands. The game features both inventory and logic based puzzles, e.g. sliding puzzles. Additionally there are mini games like a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> variant to solve. When leaving a planet, the coordinates - finding them is the objective of many puzzles - for the next have to be typed in manually. The graphics are a different from its predecessor: it is still played in first-person, but the backgrounds are rendered, inventory items are shown as pictures and there are some animated scenes.</p>

<p>Zeppelins were the sky's biggest aircrafts ever. So - have you ever thought about managing a fleet of them? In <em>Zeppelin</em> this is just your job. Invest in new technologies, build airships for several nations, find new flight routes and win the race with competing companies.</p>
<p>You can participate in flying competitions, take on special missions (such as time critical assignments), speculate at the stock-market, etc. The game also contains precise historical material; political and economical developments strongly influence the storyline.</p>

<p>This is the second Special Edition compendium of Ultima games. Contains <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/search/quick/game,Ultima+IV">Ultima IV</a>, <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/search/quick/game,Ultima+v">Ultima V</a> and <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/search/quick/game,Ultima+VI">Ultima VI</a>.</p>
<p>This ties the second 'trilogy' of the Ultima series (also known as the Age of Enlightenment) nicely into one complete package. This trilogy is based in the realm of medieval Britannia, which pits you in a relentless test of character. In Ultima IV you are in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment while demonstrating the eight virtues. Ultima V faces you against Blackthorn who has his own interpretation of the virtues. Finally, in Ultima VI, you must resolve conflict between humans and gargoyles.</p>

<p>Out of the mists of time, from the depths of a secret dungeon, the last of the Knights Templar sends a final cry for help... </p>
<p>In 1996, you are William Tibbs, a young American law student in Paris. To save Juliette, your fiancée, you have to take up the challenge from Wolfram, the fox with the red mane who is allied with the forces of darkness. They wait for you in the secret jails of the commanders of the Knights Templar in 1329.</p>
<p>The gameplay in <em>Time Gate</em> is similar to that of <a href="/search/?q=Alone+in+the+Dark">Alone in the Dark</a>, involving combat and puzzle-solving. The game uses a modified engine of <em>Alone in the Dark</em> games, with polygonal characters over pre-rendered backgrounds.</p>

<p>In <em>B-1 Nuclear Bomber</em>, you have to "fly" a B-1 bomber to it's destination, and destroy the target of the mission. </p>
<p>You input text commands to control your bomber's altitude, course, radar, weapons, and so on. And, of course, the USSR will try to stop you from bombing their targets, with an arsenal of MiGs and SAMs, and they are dealt with by the use of electronic counter-measures, evasive actions, or by shooting them down.</p>
<p>The game ends when it reaches a logical conclusion, either by deploying your bombs and getting far enough away, returning to base, or being destroyed. After this, you get a short summary, and an option to play again.</p>

<p><em>Star Wars: TIE Fighter - Defender of the Empire</em> is a campaign disk for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/240/star-wars-tie-fighter/">Star Wars: TIE Fighter</a>. Emperor Palpatine has ordered Vice Admiral Thrawn to stop the traitor Admiral Zaarin who controls the TIE Defender research platform.

<p>Learn basic math skills with Number Munchers.  Keep your Muncher away from the Troggles by munching on multiples, factors, prime numbers, equalities, and inequalities.  If you can stay away from the Troggles and earn enough points, you'll be part of the Muncher Hall of Fame.</p>

<p>Part two in the Fire and Forget series, best described as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/781/crazy-cars/">Crazy Cars</a> (also by Titus) with weapons in a futuristic setting. This game combines the genres action and driving.</p>
<p>In each of the five levels you need to blow your way to the front of the death convoy and shot down the leader of a group of terrorists, who plans to blow up a city. Your machine of destruction is a car with the ability to fly.</p>

<p>An action/puzzle game, the object is to catch assorted color falling tiles and create rows, columns, or diagonals of a single color. Each level requires a different pattern to be made, and the tiles fall faster, more at a time, and in an increasing number of colors as the game progresses.</p>

<p>Toobin' involves Biff and Jet racing their way down the rapids of a river, riding on tires. You rotate your tyre left or right, and drift as the current sends you, making sure to avoid the banks of the river, and the dividing lines in the middle. Hazards include crocodiles, stray logs and branches, and fishermen - you are armed with a limited supply of tin cans to take care of these. There are gates to slide through on the way down - these give you a points bonus. Each level has a strict time limit to adhere to, although there's a kickin' party at the end if you succeed.</p>

<p>A enchanted adventure in the deeps seas. Search the hidden and mysterious treasure in the fabled pirate's cove of Silver Eye on the bottom of the sea. Fight your way through the inhabitants of the dark underworld.</p>

<p>New addition to Sierra's FPS Football series. Changes this time are mostly cosmetic with new high-res svga graphics (which consist of rotoscoped sprites for characters over polygonal stadiums) as well as the expected stats update which adds not only player names and team stats, but also expansion teams such as the Carolina Panthers, and the Jacksonville Jaguars.</p>
<p>Gameplay modes available include quick matches as well as career mode, were you take the manager's seat as well as the quarterback's and two player gameplay.</p>

<p>Strategy/managerial game set in the medieval England, much like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/181/defender-of-the-crown/">Defender of the Crown</a>. The player starts out as a young knight in control of a small fiefdom and performs the usual managerial decisions to develop the economy, raise an army and expand their territory. RPG and arcade gameplay are also thrown into the mix as the player has to develop their character as a knight, going to melee and joust tournaments (actually arcade sequences) to gain experience. These also have other uses such as affecting popularity and offering a chance to expand the fiefdom by allowing to courtship noble ladies.</p>
<p>The game is mostly played from an isometric view, except for some specific screens, and uses SVGA graphics. The game can end in two different ways: by marching to London and taking the crown from William the Conqueror, or going the hero route and hunting down the enormous dragon that has been scorching the lands for years.</p>

<p>In this ASCII rogue-like (dungeon crawls with randomized 
maps) the player explores 20+ levels of a dungeon in order to capture
a magical artifact, the Sudbury Sapphire from a group
of Imperial Dragons. Features include animated vine
traps, labyrinth traps, torches on the walls that can
be lit, and pools of vomit.</p>
<p>Note: <em>MAG</em> was originally developed in 1985 for UNIX.</p>

<p><em>Zephyr</em> is a futuristic game that combines elements of first-person shooting and racing, set in outer space. The premise of the game is that on the 24th century mankind has overpopulated earth and is forced to settle on different worlds around the galaxy looking for resources and space. The world of the future however, is not a happy one, and it's ruled by rival ultra-gigantic corporations that struggle against each other for the rights to settle and exploit worlds. The battles for those right are made through organized vehicular combat at the Interplanetary Battle Circuit and the races are fought on hovercraft-like vehicles called "Zephyrs".</p>
<p>You play a Zephyr pilot and proceed through a set of linear plot-related missions fighting for the corporation of your choice. Each offers a customized Zephyr and each has advantages and disadvantages. You have to race around maze-like cyberpunk locations (wastelands, cities, etc.) viewed from a first-person perspective and shoot your opponents with an independent turret-mounted cannon, collecting power-ups such as energy, shields, etc. to win the races.</p>

<p>Fighter Wing is a flight simulator that instead of concentrating on a single type of aircraft, covers a wide array of flyable planes. You  get to play in either Nato or soviet sides in a series of scenarios (no campaign mode) that take place over fictional situations (the President goes insane and orders a massive strike, etc.). On the Nato side, you can fly the F-4, F-15, F-16, F-18 and F-117. While on the Soviet side you get the MIG-21, 23, 29, 31 and the SU-27.</p>
<p>Graphics are completely 3d with gouraud-shaded polygonal aircraft complete with insignias and other details, also present are clouds, smoke effects and ground modeled on actual map terrain and there's multiplayer support for up to 16 players.</p>
<p>Available in both floppy and cd version with added fmv sequences.</p>

<p>Restore peace on earth and collect a high score while doing so in the first one of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4676/fire-and-forget/">Fire and Forget</a> games by <strong>Titus</strong>. Fire and Forget is a racing game in which you have to complete courses by blowing up various enemies and avoiding obstacles on the road.</p>
<p>The different tracks are located all over the globe. There are six courses within each level of difficulty. You have an infinite amount of lives, but when your car runs out of fuel it's game over. So be sure to pick up those power-ups.</p>

<p>The Ultimate Tapan Kaikki (Translates roughly to The Ultimate I'll Kill Everyone) is a simple top-down shooter. The goal of the game is, as the title suggests, to kill everyone on the map by using weapons either picked up from the map or bought from stores. That sounds simple, but it isn't as easy as one might think, as the enemies are numerous and stimpacks are scarce.</p>
<p>The game comes with two episodes and ability to create more on your own with a simple level-editor.</p>

<p>A strategic game of espionage and undercover operations with a lot of political undertones. You play a CIA chief sent to the island of Sao Madrigal, which is currently under a dictatorship. This dictatorship is supported by the Chinese government and it seriously jeopardizes the U.S.A.'s interests on the region, thus it is your mission to organize the recuperation of democracy, by any means necessary.</p>
<p>You have at your disposal a series of CIA agents divided in three branches: Political, Propaganda and Military.  But the object of the game is not to organize a military uprising, but instead to support and organize the island's many opposing factions (like angry students, guerrillas, political parties,etc.) against the dictatorship (with or without their knowledge of your interventions) via propaganda, bribes, subterfuge, assassinations, blackmails, etc.</p>
<p>The main interface consists of a top-down satelite image of the island from where you can zoom in on any building, and from where you dispatch your agents and access the relevant information on each and every building on the island (provided you spy them).</p>
<p>The game runs against a real-time clock as you have a time limit to depose the dictator, but you can select the speed at which the game counts the hours and days, as well as the overall difficulty of the game, by selecting among a set of options that regulate the population's overall loyalty towards El Dictador.</p>

<p>It's the summer of 1937 and the dark clouds of war loom on the distant horizon.  The enigmatic industrialist, Bronson Bernard has invited a selected group of guests for the historic maiden launch of his latest triumph--the magnificent flying boat Condor. As the posh party progresses, the guests have yet to realize that their host has set a gilded trap for a murderer. Lend a hand to catch the killer as you question suspects and follow leads to the conclusion of the mystery.</p>

<p>You are a freedom fighter, a member of the resistance, fighting against the tyrannical dictator of your country and his henchman, the mad scientist.</p>
<p>In the Robomaze II, you traveled to the mad scientist's tower and battled him and his robots. When you won, you took off in your helicopter in search of the dictator and his dome. Thanks to the help of the resistance, you quickly located his dome. Unfortunately, you forgot your weapons at the tower.</p>
<p>You are completely defenseless, but you vow to conquer the dictator.  You must find weapons, keys and equipment, search underground hideouts and battle your enemies.</p>
<p>This game consists of two episodes: The Dome and The Final Journey.</p>

<p>This a game Pac-Man clone oriented to encourage you to seek a college degree. No kidding!</p>
<p>You run around in the maze, and instead of dots, you have to collect as much as possible A's, while avoiding the following monsters:</p>
<p>Goofoff: Bad study habits advocate</p>
<p>Chicky: Applier of peer pressure</p>
<p>Boozer: Drunken 'waste case'</p>
<p>Junky: Drug dealing 'slimer'</p>
<p>Oh, and remember: "This diskette may only be copied in its entirety and only for the purpose of encouraging youth to seek a college education."</p>

<p>A cross between a sports trivia game and a word puzzle game. Double Talk's premise is of challenging two players to discover a certain phrase or word. You get a gameboard divided in two, each half contains 54 blocks or pieces, when it's your turn, you click on a block and you get two clues in the form of phrases or words. The trick is that those two clues relate to a separate part of the answer (which is, again, a word or phrase related to sports trivia). Answer correctly and the block gets removed. The whole point is to remove as much blocks as possible in order to see a random image that's hidden behind them, since these two images (yours and your opponents) are the final clues to the final answer (and relate to it in the same way that the blocks do).</p>
<p>There are a series of animated 2d effects and sound clips added to keep you going as well as a timer and score counter, but that's it.</p>

<p>Basketball game focussed on the NCAA college tournament and sequel to the previous Road to the Final Four. In this one you get the entire 64 teams NCAA tournament teams and all the season stats for 1991, 92 and 93. Gameplay modes include exhibition and tournament modes (where you can play in any of the aforementioned seasons) with the choice to play in arcade or coaching modes where you call the plays while the game proceeds sans your direct interaction.</p>
<p>Graphic modes available include vga and svga with graphics consisting of digitized sprites for players over a polygonal court and basket.</p>

<p>A motorcycle racing game. The concept behind this game is that all the tracks in the game are actual videotaped and digitized roads with 2D sprites serving as your biker and opponents as well as oncoming traffic and other obstacles.</p>
<p>Includes a full screen VGA mode and a windowed SVGA mode with an overhead map taking most of the screen. Gameplay modes include single race and a tournament of sorts, where you can customize your bike by changing its tires, engine, etc. Also present are a lot of FMV scenes that play upon specific actions (like crashing).</p>

<p>Second edition of MicroProse's "Coaches Corner" football simulations.</p>
<p>This is a football simulation that puts the emphasis on management and coaching rather than arcade action. Includes completely editable statistics for every NFL team and player of the 1994 season, but you can create new teams, players, etc. to update it constantly. Also included is a comprehensive playbook editor.</p>
<p>Gameplay modes include single games and league play. The action progresses by plays, you stop to select the one you want, or make substitutions or whatever, and then watch the action get carried out in the screen. You also have the choice to listen to a computer coach for advices on every play, or if you don't want to be bothered you can opt. for the computer to simulate the encounter by itself before the game begins.</p>
<p>Graphics use 2d-sprites for players over 9 pre-set camera views, and the game includes one-on-one multiplayer modem support.</p>

<p>Another game of galactic conquest in the same vein as Master of Orion. You choose a race from a gallery of races each with their own special characteristics (there's the technological one, the military one, the fast growing one, etc.) and go at it in an effort to try an colonize worlds, and build an empire either by making alliances or whatever actions it takes.</p>
<p>The game focuses on technological progress and espionage rather than combat or diplomacy, and it uses SVGA 2D graphics.</p>

<p>This game is very similar to Boloball, another Soleau Software puzzle game.  The objective of Balloon Challenge is to get your 25 colored balloons as high as you can on the game board.  The higher the balloon goes, the higher the points awarded.  The player with the highest score at the end of the game is the winner.</p>
<p>There are many items to help or hinder your balloon from traveling higher.  Dark clouds stop your balloon from going any higher.  Hurricanes move your balloon to a different hurricane on the board.  Airplanes destroy your balloon.  Directional clouds move the balloon in the direction the arrow is facing.</p>

<p>Muzzle Velocity is an action/wargaming hybrid were you can make the tactical strategic decisions of unit placement, composition, etc. from a strategic top-down map, as well as getting in on the action yourself from a first person perspective.</p>
<p>Taking place on the European front in WW2, you get 150 single player missions sprawled on single scenarios or a career mode, where you step up in range with each succesful mission thus increasing the range of orders you can issue on the strategic aspect of the game. You can control 100 units from either the U.S., British or German side and though none has all aspects and characteristics simulated, each handles differently and has different armor/weapondry models.</p>
<p>Graphics are 2d svga, and the game uses voxel technology to render the fps 3d sequences.</p>

<p>Somewhere between <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5219/jetfighter-iii/">Jetfighter III</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2982/jetfighter-iv-fortress-america/">IV</a> came Full Burn, a game that takes a turn towards arcade action over simulation and adds a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3/wing-commander/">Wing Commander</a>-like interactive movie air to the game.</p>
<p>As the game starts a conflict between the U.S., er sorry NATO and Russia erupts over some Norwegian oil fields. This sets the stage for the main storyline of the game which can be viewed from either the NATO or Russian side. The campaign is made of linear pre-made missions interspersed with FMV sequences between missions. As in the Wing Commander games, scenes occur in different locations, you move to the corresponding room and click on hotspots that trigger the sequences. </p>
<p>The airplanes in the game have simple, yet functional flight models and include the F/A-18 and F-22N on the NATO side as well as the fictional MiG-42 on the Russian side. The game engine used is identical to the Jetfighter 3 one, and the game supports multiplayer support of up to 16 players.</p>

<p><em>Picture Perfect Golf</em> is a multimedia golf simulator that uses actual photographs taken from a gazillion different angles to simulate the Harbour Town Golf Links course. Another difference this game has is it's perspective - instead of the traditional 3rd person-over-the-golfer perspective the game uses a first person perspective designed especially for use with an infrared golf club accessory (although the game can be played via keyboard/mouse), with the wind indicators, swing power bars, etc. onscreen.</p>
<p>Other options include tournament, gimmies and mulligans game modes as well as multiplayer support for up to 4 players.</p>

<p><em>Hexuma - Das Auge des Kal</em> is interactive fiction with graphics and a point-and-click interface.</p>
<p>This German-only game is the last of three text adventures created by the Weltenschmiede team, the other two being <em>Das Stundenglas</em> and <em>Die Kathedrale</em>. <em>Hexuma</em> sends you into an old, supposedly haunted mansion, which turns out to be a gateway to six different periods in Earth’s history. Travel from the age of dinosaurs to the distant future and bring back six crystal shards to battle the sinister god Kal.</p>
<p>Otherwise a conventional text adventure in its design and functionality, <em>Hexuma</em> is aiming for the versatility record: the game knows six different ways to enter a command. You can simply type it in. You can click on objects in the graphic window to trigger the most probable action. You can piece your sentence together in an icon menu. You can consult a list of pre-fabricated commands tailored to the situation. You can click on any word in the text screen to copy it in the command bar. And, strangest of all, you can enter your command letter by letter with the mouse on a display of a keyboard. Talk about German diligence.</p>
<p>There are a few puzzle dead-ends, so you might consider saving frequently.</p>

</ul>

<p>1996's edition of the Striker football series from Rage Software.</p>
<p>Graphics combine a 3D pitch with 2D player sprites.  The game includes multiple camera angles as well as different weather effects. You can modify any team's roster, select basic formations, time limits, difficulty, etc.</p>
<p>Select from 41 international teams and take part in either friendly games, league, or cup tournaments.
Also included is a 6 on 6 indoor mode, and multiplayer support for up to 4 players using Gravis's GrIP system or through a network. </p>
<p>The game includes commentary by Scottish commentator Andy Gray.</p>

<p>Total Control Football offers a managerial approach to American Football simulations. You have been just named general manager of an NFL team in major problems, and its your job to take it to the top. This means both winning games and turning a profit. You'll be able to manage every aspect of your organization, you'll be in control of drafting players, set salaries, create plays, and even set the prices of hotdogs and other nuisances!</p>
<p>The games can be auto played or you can jump in the coaches seat and call the plays. Also available is a small arcade mode in which you control the action.</p>

<p>1997 edition of EA's NHL sport simulation series. Improvements in this edition come mostly in the graphical arena, with a refined version of the "virtual stadium" system that adds new camera angles (including the classical top-down one strangely missing from NHL 96), and polygonal players instead of the bitmap-based ones with motion-captured animations.</p>
<p>Other extras include multiplayer support for up to 8 players through network or Gravis's GrIP system, the option to create new players and trade them around, and the usual amount of EA sports licensed multimedia flair, including an interesting "Goalie Mask Viewer" which lets you observe the elaboratedly decorated helmets of 30 goalies.</p>

<p>Two of the greatest icons of the Golden Age of the NBA match up in this game. On one side, the spectacular dunks of <a href="/search/?q=Michael+Jordan">Michael Jordan</a> of the Chicago Bulls; on the other, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/54864/larry-bird/">Larry Bird</a>'s incredible accuracy from the outside. </p>
<p>While Bird feels right home at the three-point contest, where five racks with five balls each are placed around the three-point arc and the player must pick each ball and throw in the the best timing possible to get as many points as possible during the 60 second window, only Jordan has the air-time to perform on the slam dunk contest, where the player has a number of dunks at his disposal, each requiring different timing to get the best score from all three attempts from the judges, and win the competition.</p>
<p>While they are two completely different players, they can still go one-on-one on a half-court match, played to points or with a time duration. Can Bird's stealing and outside shooting ability be a match to Jordan's speed and jumping abilities?</p>

<p><em>Das Stundenglas</em> (“The hourglass”) is the first of three interactive fiction games by German developer Weltenschmiede (the others being <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5710/die-kathedrale/">Die Kathedrale</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Hexuma">Hexuma - Das Auge des Kal</a>). It is entirely in German.</p>
<p>Upon jumping into a mysterious chest, you arrive in a beautiful fairy-tale world. Yet the serenity is spoiled: the enchanted hourglass that controls the flow of time is lost, and the world has been split into two realities. Both planes are the very same land, but certain buildings and people exist only in one of the two zones. On your quest to reclaim the missing artefact, you will have to travel between the two worlds and claim a magical coin from each of the twelve inhabitants; of course, all of them ask a little favor in return for their gift…</p>
<p>The game contains a (generous) time limit; you have to find the hourglass in 24 days. Consequently, there is a day-night-rhythm, and the characters will wander between certain locations in a daily routine. There are two graphics for most locations to reflect day and night.</p>
<p>You can download <em>Das Stundenglas</em> for free by now; check the links section.</p>

<p><em>Sea Legends</em> is a pirate simulation game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/214/sid-meiers-pirates/">Sid Meier's Pirates!</a>. </p>
<p>As Richard Gray, a young captain, the player has to master ship navigation, sword fighting, trading, sea and land warfare, and crew recruiting in order to progress in what begins as a simple story but will evolve into a plot with many characters with a few twists and turns. This game features many different weapons (cannons, rifles, swords, etc.) and goods to trade. Colony buildings include a tavern, a governor house, an armory, in addition to a church, which allows the player to save games. One of the most important features in this game is sea warfare, incorporating a 3D voxel engine making combat more realistic.</p>

<p>In this adventure game, step into the shoes of Lathan Kandor, a young boy, to defeat the evil Black Wizard. Lathan will find help from his mentor, the mighty magician Daelon. Explore the fantasy lands of the Far Reaches and retrieve three of the five pieces of the ancient relic called The Hand of Mobus. Talk to a variety of characters, collect objects and solve adventure-type problems and puzzles.</p>
<p><em>Kingdom: The Far Reaches</em> features mouse control, video animations, cartoon-like graphics, an in-game travel map, and original music which can be turned off if desired.</p>

<p>Back in 19th Century England, one man was able to kill and kill again without ever been caught. That man was Jack the Ripper. Now, the player is a Scotland Yard detective on the trail of this famous killer. He must converse with suspects, highlighting any important information that could be valuable to his case. Then, when he thinks he has enough evidence, the player pieces the clues together to finally catch the infamous killer.</p>

<p>Terrorists plotting against the city of Venice have set a five-hour deadline - as a private detective, it is your job to stop them in that time frame.</p>
<p>Motion in this mouse-controlled adventure is achieved by clicking on directional arrows, but pay attention to everything you see. You carry an organiser with which you take notes, make illustrations and store information. Your camera can be used to photograph suspicious clues and persons so you can show them to other suspects as evidence later. </p>
<p>The game plays out in real time so timing and patience are everything, as there are points where you have to wait for certain characters to appear at a certain place at a certain time.</p>

<p>You play as a reporter for a big city newspaper.  Recently, a rival reporter was found stabbed to death in a phone booth.  Your job is to travel around the city following suspects, listening in on conversations, and even searching in their homes when they're away.  Based on an Agatha Christie novella.</p>

<p>NCAA-based basketball game. Includes 64 licensed teams (with fake players according to NCAA regulations) and several game modes like exhibition, tournament, and season play.
Games can be played in either arcade or coach mode where you call the plays and make substitutions. You can also select the option to fully simulate games based on statistics.</p>
<p>Graphics are vga and consist of 2d sprites over several pre-rendered courts for different viewing angles.</p>

<p>In the far future humanity has achieved faster-than-light space travel, but the galaxy is still a big unknown place. To chart, the stars and planets explorers named "Robinsons" are sent on scouting tours of duty. Most of the time the Robinsons sent away are individuals deemed dangerous to society and whose ships are sabotaged.</p>
<p>You play one of these Robinsons who gets stranded on a mysterious alien planet on which a telepathic woman is also stranded. As it turns out she knows a way to get off the planet, but she needs your help to escape.</p>
<p>Gameplay consists of first-person roleplaying with the emphasis placed on character modeling and survival. Take a dip when it's cold and you'll surely catch the flu, don't treat an infected injury and amputation is on the way, etc. You must fashion your own tools from whatever you can find on the planet and the game uses pre-rendered sprites over voxel technology terrain for graphics.</p>

<p>This football game features practically every international team available with its corresponding players (circa 1994) and with gameplay modes that include 1 and 2 player exhibition matches and the full World Cup.</p>
<p>The distinguishing feature of the game is its use of a different perspective which puts you behind and above the players as in 3rd person 3D games, but in a fixed position where the camera just slides up and down the court to follow the players. Graphics are 2D VGA sprites</p>

<p>Iron Cross is a real time/turn based hybrid wargame placed in the France of WW2. You create a character and then go at it in 1 one of 12 pre-made scenarios from either side. Depending on your prowess you'll be promoted or demoted with the consequential increase or decrease of units available to command.</p>
<p>Graphics are top-down 2d svga sprites, and the game includes historical commentary on all of the 12 scenarios, as well as a scenario editor.</p>

<p>The Elk Moon Murder is a full motion video adventure game. You take on the part of rookie detective with the Santa Fe police. Anna Elk Moon, a famous native American artist, has been murdered and you have five days to solve the mystery, before "the big boys muscle in", as your chief inspector tells you.</p>
<p>The game features a point &amp; click interface. You have eight hours a day, while almost every action you take decreases 15 minutes of your time. Puzzle solving is not part of the game really. Instead you have to listen to the usual suspects, order forensics and shoot photos. Your goal is to come up with an arrest warrant at the end of the game.</p>

<p><em>Murders in Space</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4793/murders-in-venice/">Murders in Venice</a>, an adventure game that is played in a first person perspective. Now, we have <em>Murders in Space</em>, a 3rd-person perspective mystery that has you trying to solve a crime in deep space. You do this by asking questions and being in the right place at the right time.</p>

<p>Shortly after the war, several countries want to control Berlin. An atomic bomb has been smuggled into the city by the Americans. You play an American spy, whose mission is to guard this bomb and not to let Stalin have it under any circumstances.</p>
<p>This is one of the early examples of a 3rd person perspective point &amp; click adventure, the interface being slightly more complicated than the famous SCUMM system.</p>

<p>Sweet she is and sweets she wants. Young Lolly wakes up and has an incredibly appetite for candy. For chocolate, and for caramel and gingerbread, and for cookies and crisps and marshmallows and lemonade and bubblegum and jelly bears and ice and cream and sugar frosted chocolate bombs. All right, we’ve all had such moments. But Lolly is a doll. Animated by a stroke of lightning, she suddenly has life, a sweet tooth and a quest: Onward to the land where candy grows and the refrigerators never run out!</p>
<p>It’s a hostile world for small, innocent and rather hungry little dolls – that’s why you’ve got to help Lolly find her way through eight big levels in this jump’n’run game. After the escape from the toy factory, the way to the promised land leads through places like a ghost town, a snow world and even Lolly’s own cottony dreams. The way is far from safe: plenty of traps and monsters threaten a doll’s life, but good timing, athletic leaps and an ample supply of lollipops to fling at obtrusive enemies help mastering any challenge. In desperate situations, Lolly can take a snapshot with her pocket camera, which instantly destroys all opponents on the screen. Huge level bosses guard the exit of each world; defeating the mega-monsters requires specific tactics. </p>
<p>Fortunately, there is support: chests contain key items (to unlock different parts of each level), power-ups and plenty of sweets, of course. On the downside, the boxes may also yield harmful objects that jumble up Lolly’s controls or even hurt her. Tender dolls of that model can sustain three hits before they break apart. There’s a time limit for each level, so sucking popsicles in a corner won’t do. You cannot save the game, but you get a personal passcode after each level.</p>

<p>You were successful police officer Alan Chance, until you were killed during a raid on drug dealers, who managed to take a hostage in the process. People have assumed that you died as a result of your own mistakes. </p>
<p>Now you have returned as a ghost, with psychic powers in place of your physical ones. Starting out at your own funeral, you must follow conversations to find clues. One early task is to find items which boost your physical abilities. You have help from other deceased beings, starting with pub owner Joe Danby.</p>
<p><em>Scapeghost</em> was Level 9's final adventure game, and it is in the same format as the existing ones, which makes for a text parser with additional graphics. Puzzles require instructions to be given to other characters. The game is split into 3 days, each of which can be played independently of each other - November Graveyard, Haunted House and Poltergeist.</p>

<p>In <em>Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer</em> you have the chance to test pilot 14 different airplanes, such as the Bell X-1 and the Lockheed SR-71. It features 10 different viewpoints both inside and outside of the plane, with a zoom of up to 256x, and different aerodynamics for each plane.</p>
<p>You can do different things with the planes, from racing against a computer opponent, to practising formation and stunt flights. You can follow the testing and development programme through its evolution.</p>
<p>There is a "black box recorder" to replay your flights, and analysis of your performance compared to an ideal one.</p>

<p><em>Hard Drivin'</em> is a 3D arcade hit from Atari Games. You are in control of a high-performance sports car. Your objective is to race around the course as fast as possible and hit as many checkpoints as possible. If you hit a checkpoint you gain extra time to go farther. You will see traffic on the road both in your direction and coming down the opposite direction, so be careful when you pass... </p>
<p>The course has two sections: speed track, and stunt track. Speed track is longer, but you can usually achieve higher speeds. Stunt track requires you to perform several stunts such as jumping bridges, driving through a loop, and so on. </p>
<p>Crashing the car has no serious consequences and indeed shows a replay of your crash from a cinematic angle. Admire your crash head-on into the cement truck, or clipping the minivan, or flying off the bridge in the wrong angle... You lose several seconds as your car is "reset" and you get up to speed again. </p>
<p>The home conversions retain most of the then-advanced 3D graphics but lack the force-feedback that was in the arcade version.</p>

<p>You are police officer Bob, whose aim is to apprehend a certain quota of criminals (litterbugs, speeders and the like) each day. This is done by chasing them and sounding your siren at them - in some cases they will need ramming off the road.  There are also hardened criminals to catch - if you can get one of these to confess, your day's work is considered done.  Bonuses are awarded for achieving a 'perfect day' and for each arrest additional to the quota.  Each day has a time limit but this can be extended by collecting donuts.</p>
<p>The game's action is presented with an overhead view of your squad car. Car upgrades are available, to be brought from your reward money. You earn Demerits by crashing, wrongly arresting innocents, or failing to meet your quota. Too many demerits and it is game over.</p>

<p>Tracon is an air traffic control simulator, giving you the position of a so called "ATC" (air traffic controller). You are in charge of the air traffic in a certain sector, making sure that every airplane gets to his destination safely. </p>
<p>Your main screen is a radar, which features the aircrafts as green dots or little airplanes, moving at a certain speed at a certain height. The game is a full-talkie, featuring pilot's voices and those of the ATCs. Interestingly Tracon doesn't use a sound card for that. The voice acting is done over the PC internal speaker.</p>
<p>The more traffic is in the air, the more hectic your job becomes. You have to set routes for the planes and organize punctual arrivals. </p>
<p>The game is also featuring emergencies, to make your task more difficult. It is possible to connect the game to a Microsoft Flight Simulator installation on another computer.</p>
<p>Tracon was used to train professional ATCs in the early nineties. Then Wesson decided to develop special simulation units for professional users and continue the Tracon series as entertainment.</p>

<p>Larry Vales is an officer in the traffic patrol in a little town in Tennessee. Recently a local insane scientist Professor Semprini invented a machine called "Lovely Rita 4200 Parking Enforcement Cyborg". It was supposed to make people obey the traffic rules, but seemed to have exaggerated quite a bit: every traffic violation, even the smallest one, lead to the death of the poor citizen. You and your partner Charlie have to destroy this horrible invention! But how?</p>
<p>The game is a traditional point-and-click adventure with an interface very similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/22646/sierra/">Sierra's</a> VGA games and the game itself reminds of the <a href="/search/?q=Police+Quest">Police Quest</a> series. There is an inventory and actions to walk, examine, pick up items, and talk. These can be selected from the top of the screen, or switched with the right mouse button. The game is split up in three acts and you can measure your progress by a score system.</p>
<p>There are a few sound effects and the background music contains midi files of famous songs by Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, and others.</p>

<p>This is a board/puzzle game, which also has a background story. You are a money collector whose task is to escort money bags to banks. However, something went wrong, and you lost all your bags in different parts of the city. Now you have to collect them again and to deliver them safely to the banks. But you also have to do it quickly, for thieves and robbers will use any opportunity to take the money in their possession - and that's why the game has a time limit.</p>
<p>Different levels of the game represent different city districts. You have to "push" the bags in order to get them closer to a bank, but if you push them too far away, there's no way of recovering them again. Agility isn't very important here, it's the strategy that matters! </p>
<p>The game is text-only, using the ASCII characters. Dollar-signs are used to represent the money bags.</p>

When hit you lose time recovering, and are penalised with a Pelvan, which can cost you up to 3 Beloms, by hitting the crowd.</p>
<p>After every third match you must play the Faulton Feeding game, which involves aiming at six progressively-higher poles to hit the Faulton creature with the food - fail to get enough of these and you must replay the previous match.

<p><em>The Dame Was Loaded</em> is a detective mystery adventure game reminiscent of private eye movies of the 1940's. The player controls detective Scott Anger, a Sam Spade type of character, who is hired by a mysterious woman to find her missing brother, Dan. What at first appears to be just another missing persons case, Anger's investigation soon reveals that Dan was somehow involved in some much larger crimes including several murders and a bank robbery.</p>
<p>The game is somewhat similar in style to <a href="/search/?q=Tex+Murphy">Tex Murphy</a> games, requiring the player to use sleuthing skills to interact with characters (represented by live actors) and solve puzzles. As opposed to <em>Tex Murphy</em> games, <em>The Dame Was Loaded</em> features pre-rendered backgrounds instead of real 3D graphics and navigation.</p>

<p>In the world of the future interplanetary terrorism is a big threat to the universe, but since the terrorists are not easy to find or target, an all out war can't be waged against it. Instead the Alien World Exploration organization (which rules the universe) sends bounty hunters across the universe to planets suspected to harbor terrorist bases. You play one of these bounty hunters who gets sent to a world where the most dangerous terrorist group, the New Crusaders, are thought to have their HQ.</p>
<p>The game is an informal sequel to 1994's <a href="/search/?q=Robinson+Requiem">Robinson's Requiem</a> and you proceed through the game in exactly the same manner. You must gather clues and learn of your whereabouts in a fps-like environment while managing every aspect of your body in an attempt to "survive" the hostile alien world. You can play in action mode which removes most of the micro-managing, or in the standard simulation mode which boasts 22 ways to die (including hypothermia, untreated infections, etc.). Graphics are SVGA and the game offers single player gameplay only.</p>

<p>You're the famous square-jawed detective in this graphic adventure.  Track down criminals and solve cases using your two-way wrist radio, squad car, and bugs you plant in the bad guys' hideouts.  Suspects behave differently depending on their personality: Some will cooperate, while others will interpret a show of force as an invitation to a gun battle.  Features characters from the comic series.</p>

<p>It's Zack's first day on the job as a repairman at GadgetCo, and the whole factory is falling apart. He must navigate over 60 rooms, avoiding deadly traps, to find his missing tools and fix the incredibly complicated, interconnected machinery.</p>
<p><em>Contraption Zack</em> is best described as a combination puzzle adventure and third-person isometric perspective version of <a href="/search/?q=The+Incredible+Machine">The Incredible Machine</a>.</p>

<p>Nerdy Chip desperately wants to join the "Bit Busters" computer club, led by Melinda the Mental Marvel. However, before she'll let him in, he must prove his intelligence by passing the initiation test. 149 increasingly difficult levels, including a few hidden ones, await Chip in this tile-based puzzle game. Use tools such as keys, and special shoes to bypass obstacles. Manipulate switches to and use dirt blocks to build bridges across waterways. Avoid enemy creatures, grab all the computer chips in the level, and hurry to the exit: On top of everything else, there's a time limit!</p>

<p>Rockford returns in another <em>Boulder Dash</em> adventure which contains 15 new levels, in addition to the easy-to-use game editor. Players can build, save, and play their own levels. The software includes a feature to sequence your levels on a separate game disk.</p>
<p>All of the elements and hazards from the previous <em>Boulder Dash</em> outings are back: The fireflies, butterflies, growing amoebas, enchanted walls, and of course, the boulders. New features include titanium (indestructible) walls, growing walls, and slime that allows boulders and diamonds to drop through it at a varying rate.</p>

<p>Rambo's mission is set deep in Afghanistan, in the days when the Soviets occupied it, and America was putting this right (we won't mention who they enlisted to do so). Colonel Trautman has been kidnapped by the Soviets, and Rambo is going in to rescue him. Doing so is a three-part operation approximately following the plot of the film.</p>
<p>In the first part, Rambo will explore the building Trautman could be in, through a top-down view. It is heavily protected by infrared security beams, which when activated unleash the enemies. The locations of the beams are only apparent by collecting special goggles. Other hazards include mines, trapdoors and booby-trapped doors, but there are enhanced weapons to collect.</p>
<p>Section two is identical to the first, except that it is located outside, the enemies are onto Rambo from the start, and there are no traps. The final section changes to an <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3475/operation-wolf/">Operation Wolf</a>-style shoot 'em up, with a horde of tanks, foot soldiers and helicopters to face. Rambo's gun can jam, which adds to the challenge of finally getting out alive.</p>

<p>The player takes the role of Maddog Williams who wants to rescue the beautiful Princess Leoria and free her father King Thaylor. He also needs to vanquish the Evil Serak and restore peace to the lands of Duridian. </p>
<p><em>The Adventures of Maddog Williams in the Dungeons of Duridian</em> is primarily an adventure game. Similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/22646/sierra/">Sierra</a> adventures, the player directly controls the movements of Maddog and types in text commands to perform an action. As usual, he explores his surroundings, collects items, and uses them to solve puzzles. There are also a few action-based sequences in the game. If the player meets an enemy the game switches to the fighting view. The combat is in real-time and the player controls Maddog's basic movements: side steps, blocking, and attacking at two different heights. There are three difficulty levels which mostly influence the combat but the lowest one also results in easier puzzles.</p>

<p><em>Megafortress</em> is a flight simulation based on the premise of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/97257/dale-brown/">Dale Brown</a>'s <em>Flight of the Old Dog</em> novel. The player is in command of a crew flying a super modified and experimental B-52 bomber, outfitted with the latest weapons and stealth technology. (In the novel, it was more advanced than the B-1 Excalibur, the Strategic Air Command's most advanced bomber).</p>
<p>The game campaign mostly takes place in Iraq, but there is 1 mission that takes the bomber to the old Soviet Union like in the novel.</p>

<p>A game of Contract Bridge (the classic card game) set in the National Bridge Club.  Players can practice their skills against the 12 computer opponents using three different bidding systems (American Standard, Natural, and Precision).  There is also a Tournament in which you play round robin against all the computer players with the highest score winning a spot in the NBC hall of fame.</p>

<p>The Thunder Age has been marked by an industrial revolution. Having discovered the power of steam, the races of that magical medieval realm began to produce firearms and construct steam-powered golems. However, the development was stopped by a horrifying event, known as the Darkfall. Hordes of unholy creatures, or "nocturnals", were released into the world. Some people found in themselves no courage to resist them, and began cooperating with the nocturnals, earning the title of "Corrupted". Only the bravest of adventurers will dare to venture into the dark underground areas where the forces of evil have built their stronghold.</p>
<p><em>World of Aden: Thunderscape</em> is a 3D dungeon-crawling role-playing game. The player creates a party of up to six characters, choosing among several races, including traditional medieval fantasy species such as elves and dwarves, but also some races unique to the game. The player also chooses the class and the initial combat-oriented skills of the characters. Combat is turn-based and takes place on the same screen as exploration. When characters gain enough experience to level up, the player can raise their parameters or have them learn new magic spells.</p>

<p>A three pack collection of games from <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/quantum-quality-productions">Quantum Quality Productions</a> including:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1986/solitaires-journey/">Solitaire's Journey</a>, a solitaire game with sequential quests.</p>
</li>

<p><em>Comanche: Maximum Overkill</em> is the first helicopter simulator to showcase NovaLogic's Voxel engine, which renders organic and lifelike terrain and realistic looking objects that no other game using polygons could match. It features the Army's experimental RAH-66 Comanche light attack helicopter (LHX).</p>
<p>The game features a simple flight model and allows the player's helicopter to take much more damage than it could in reality. Additionally, weapons on the Comanche feature deadly accuracy and power. </p>
<p>There are over 20 scripted campaign missions, similar to all other NovaLogic simulations.</p>
<p>Of great importance to the international gaming world was the addition of "Voxel Space" by Kyle Freeman. This was the first time DOS gamers were given fully illustrated environments within which to "fly" - shadows and reflections moved in realistic, relative sync with the "pilot" and in relation to a "natural" light source.</p>

<p><em>World Tour Golf</em> lets you play over a dozen well known courses, including Augusta and Pebble Beach. A split screen gives you an overhead view of the hole and a 3-D view. The control uses multiple button presses to set pace and draw/fade - fortunately a Driving Range is included to practice on. When you select a club, its range is superimposed on the view, making planning shots easier. Wind, pin placement and even weather conditions must be considered as you play your shot. Also included is a course architect for creating new courses or modifying existing ones.</p>

<p>Based on the same engine as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1346/comanche-3/">Comanche 3</a>, Novalogic once again delivered a tank simulator using their VoxelSpace technology. <em>Armored Fist 2</em> models the US Army's M1A2 Abrams main battle tank just like its predecessor, which also used the previous <em>Comanche</em> voxel engine to generate realistic terrain and models without 3D accelerator video cards.</p>
<p>Similar to most Novalogic simulations, this product is targeted more at an action-oriented audience not seeking too much realism. <em>Armored Fist 2</em> has over 50 pre-scripted missions set on campaigns in Europe, Asian, Africa, and the Middle East. The tank can be controlled through various views such as the gunner's station, driver's port, commander's seat, or exterior views. You also have a few other tanks in your platoon usually, and sometimes even helicopter gunships for close air support.</p>
<p>The CD also features live training footage from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at 29 Palms, California.</p>

<p>Unlike most other compilations for this series, no expansion packs are included.</p>

<p>In <em>StixWorld</em> you control a stick-figure character created by a little girl in her notebook. It turns out she had gotten into a fight with her brother after he made all sorts of scribbles and monsters in her notebook (your world). The kids' parents had sent them both to their rooms and thrown the notebook into the recycle bin. Your mission is to save the notebook from the recycling truck. Your only hope is to find the guru you heard about who can teach you how to escape the notebook into the real world. Unfortunately, you must deal with all of the brother's scribbles and monsters along the way.</p>
<p><em>StixWorld</em> is a 2D side-scrolling platform game using a 2D geometry engine rather than sprites. The artwork is in the style of a child's stick-figure drawings in a notebook, down to the notebook-paper style background. The story, art-style, and underlying 2D geometry engine allow all the objects to be animated, rotated, and scaled.</p>
<p>For example, in one level you ride a hot-air balloon to the moon and are able to walk all the way around the moon, ending up upside-down at the bottom, where a sign says "Earth" with an arrow pointing down -- you jump and rotate while falling until you land back on the Earth. In another level you jump from car to car along a train, trying to get to the engine, and you see mountains in the distance. Once you reach the engine you find that you can jump from the smoke clouds to the tops of the mountains, and the world scales as you jump -- it was just a small toy train after all.</p>

<p>The black spaceman kidnapped Bomberman's beloved and brought her to his chambers in the castle, far beyond his reach, over the rivers, forest and mountains. Bomberman's job is to save her, battling the sea of the enemies, with only bombs at his disposal.</p>
<p>The range of Bomberman's bomb explosions can be upgraded with time, but if he dies, the range resets back to the minimum range and Bomberman loses his previous skills. Some updates can make Bomberman walk through the walls, increase his speed, and give him some other assets to aid him in his quest to save the woman he loves.</p>
<p>This top-down action-arcade game consists of nine levels per stage, each tougher than the other, and each final one consisting of the boss that will have to be dealt with. Bomberman can move horizontally and vertically and lay down bombs behind him, thus evaporating the enemies, but beware: Bomberman can block himself with his own bomb, and thus become a victim of his own bomb.</p>

<p>This is an authorized add-on pack for <a href="/search/?q=Duke3D">Duke Nukem 3D</a>. It adds 7 new maps to the game which put the player to North Pole. Here he must battle alien scum to help Santa Claus survive. The pack also adds new special arctic monsters and new artwork to the game.</p>

<p>Thunder Truck Rally is a an arcade-style 3d monster truck racing game.  Here you will find all the normal racing game modes:  championship, time trial, practice, and multi-player.  In addition to the standard modes, there is a car-crushing competition that serves as both a separate game mode and a bonus round in the championship.</p>
<p>There are 9 different trucks to chose from.  Each has their own set of strengths and weaknesses.  Some are faster than others, but break more easily.  Some turn corners more quickly, and some accelerate more quickly.  The designs of the trucks vary greatly.  Beyond the standard pickup and jeep type vehicles, you will find a VW bus and a sedan.</p>
<p>There two main types of races in Thunder Truck Rally.  The first takes place in an open, free-roam area.  Here, your objective is to race from point to point in the fastest time possible.  The second type of race takes place in closed circuits with a fixed track that cannot be escaped.  Here, you simply complete the circuit as fast as possible.</p>

<p>Command one of the four castles in the land of Gurtex in 24 scenarios... or, become the assailant.  It's the Forces of Lights (humans &amp; allies) versus the Forces of Darkness (orcs &amp; allies) in a tactical simulation of castle siege and assault.  Command up to 17 troop types, including magic-users and various siege equipment.</p>

<p>Fly the F/A-18, F-16, and F-14 in a hypothetical invasion of the U.S. west coast by the Soviet Union. Missions range from combat air patrols to bombing runs to intercepting cruise missiles. Plus, carrier launches and landings are also possible.</p>
<p>Graphics include a detailed model of San Francisco -- the Golden Gate Bridge, Transamerica tower/pyramid, and more are all represented.</p>
<p>This game is effectively an enhanced version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8668/fa-18-interceptor/">F/A-18 Interceptor</a> from the Amiga (same setting, programmers etc) with extra missions and the addition of the F-14.</p>

<p>War erupts once again along the west coast of America, although this time it is with a drug baron. The military is put to action, and the most advanced jets in the U.S. inventory are put to the test: the F-14, F/A-18, and the YF-23 (Northrop's black-skinned fighter that eventually lost the ATF contract to Lockheed/Martin's YF-22).</p>
<p>Game options include an "adventure" (i.e. campaign) mode, where mission successes and failures dynamically affect the overall war, free flight, and various other single mission scenarios. The YF-23 has the naval package, which allows it to participate in carrier-borne operations alongside the F-14 and F/A-18.</p>
<p>Graphically, the engine has been updated to take advantage of the latest in VGA technologies, and included the popular "gradient" horizon. And like its predecessor <a href="/search/?q=jetfighter">Jetfighter</a>, San Francisco is featured with its notable landmarks.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/451/jetfighter-series/">Jetfighter series</a> returns once again, albeit this time it is released by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1764/mission-studios/">Mission Studios</a>, a spin-off from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1035/velocity-inc/">Velocity</a>, the original developers of this franchise. While once again the battle is against a drug lord, it takes place over South America instead of the U.S. West Coast as in its predecessors. The campaign is structure similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1365/strike-commander/">Strike Commander</a>/<a href="/search/?q=wing+commander">Wing Commander</a>, where the scripted missions are linked by a intricate story. The player is a pilot aboard an aircraft carrier, and can move around various places about the ship between each mission.</p>
<p><em>Jetfighter III</em> features terrain generated from satellite data, with geographically correct cities, roads, and airports. Flyable jets include the F/A-18 and the naval F-22N. </p>
<p>A later patch allowed for 3DFX support.</p>

<p>Grand Fleet is a World War I Tactical Naval Combat Wargame/Simulation. The time frame covers from the beginning of the dreadnought era in 1906 thru the end of World War I and extending through 1920. It covers the major clashes between the Germans and British and includes a scenario generator. The player represents the senior naval commander for his side. When the game ends the player is given an after action report composed of the final victory point totals and a ship status report that will display the closing situation for each vessel involved in play.</p>

<p>Great Naval Battles: North Atlantic 1939-1943 is the first of four Naval Combat Simulators by Strategic Simulations Inc. in the 1990's. The player commands either the British Navy or German Navy during WW II. Fight an entire campaign, mini campaigns or individual battles. The game includes a historical database of ships, display of ships damage status by deck, real time action and instant replay features. There are 3 ways to enjoy the game. The Captain's view puts you on the bridge of one of the great battleships, cruisers or destroyers of the era. Listen to the dramatic sound effects created by the roar of your guns as you fire them. Watch the shells splash in the distance or explode on target. See the flash of enemy guns and feel your ship vibrate as it is hit. Go down below with the damage control parties and attempt to plug the holes before your ship capsizes and sinks. The Fleet view shows an eagle eye perspective of the individual ships in the task force. The Grand Admiral view zooms out even further to give you a strategic map of your entire navy and all visible enemy vessels.</p>

<p>In this simple game the idea is to shoot the asteroids that are coming towards the Earth. Your ship is loaded with 100 plasma ammos. You'll get more ammo as the game goes on, but not too much so try to spare ammo. The game ends when 10 asteroids have hit the Earth (normally it means when you have run out of ammo..). To play the game you need a mouse. No sounds included. The game uses dos4gw; you need it to play.</p>

<p>An add-on course compatible with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/492/links-the-challenge-of-golf/">Links</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3757/links-386-pro/">Links 386 Pro</a>, and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14214/microsoft-golf/">Microsoft Golf</a>.

The game is a strategic war simulation (wargame) in which the player takes on the role of a task force commander in control of Fleet Carrier Air/Naval Operations in the Pacific from 1941-1945. The player can reenact six crucial carrier battles from that era including Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea, Midway, Eastern Solomons, Santa Cruz and the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot.</p>
<p>The game features completely new graphics including a menu overhaul to make more use of a windowed interface. Most important in the graphic overhaul is that combat is now presented in animated graphics.</p>
<p>Gameplay has also changed with new features including fire damage on ships, which can be repaired, but can also easily spread to do more harm (and this too is graphically represented). More airplanes can be commanded and now individually inspected instead of in squadrons. The AI has also been refined to play more like a human player with imperfect information available to it.</p>

<p>Carriers at War II: Fleet Carrier Operations in Southeast Asia 1936-1946, is the follow up to Strategic Studies Group's 1991 game Carriers at War.

<p>The "Master Levels" are twenty stand-alone maps from independent level designers commissioned by id. There is no overall campaign or an attempt to tie the levels together, though some of the levels from the same designer do have a connected story of their own.</p>
<p>"Maximum Doom" is a collection of 201 .wads (map packs with varying numbers of levels inside) for the original <em>Doom</em> and 1,629 wads for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/299/doom-ii/">Doom II</a>, leading to the package's claim of 3,000 total new levels. These wads are not commissioned by id or made by professional designers, and no claim is made as to these being the "most popular" or "best designed" homebrew levels available. The maps were gathered from various free or FTP sites on the Internet; however, the time and dial-up cost for a player to find and download the same collection of .wads themselves would have been substantial.</p>

<p>In <em>L.A. Crackdown</em> you play a cop staking out a warehouse to gather evidence in order to break up a drug ring. The action is controlled by monitors in a surveillance van. A rookie officer assists you by searching rooms, planting bugs, and even interrogating suspicious characters (watch out, he learns from experience and can help you make decisions or may disobey orders if he disagrees with a decision.)</p>

<p><em>Hoverforce</em> takes place in the year 2050 where enemies known as 'alterants' have taken control of the city by distributing mind controlling drugs. You play with a 3-D view from a hovercraft in an attempt to destroy all alterants and stop the drug runs they make.</p>
<p>The story is slightly different in <em>Resolution 101</em>. This game is set in the USA in the city of Las Envegas. Crime is rife and law enforcement just cannot cope so in 2038 a new law, Resolution 101, was passed which allows convicted felons to be released from jail in return for tracking down and eliminating gangland bosses.</p>
<p>The player takes the role of one of these 'Search and Destroy' criminals. They are given a Theta 4000 ground skimmer armed with a light machine gun and they play their way through a series of increasingly difficult levels. Each level starts with a meeting with the sheriff who names the new target. After that the player is in their skimmer patrolling the streets shooting things, not mind controlled alterants but the drug runner's henchmen and gangland minions (same sprites different names).</p>
<p>The city of Las Envegas is divided into four areas each of which is controlled by a separate drug runner. The during the course of the game's twelve levels the player must defeat each runner three times in order to finally kill them. The runners have minions who will attack the player as they pursue their quest for justice / freedom. As these are destroyed they leave behind cash and drugs that can be collected, the drugs must be collected as evidence.</p>
<p>As a further complication the drug runner only makes a few runs through the city in each level so the player must collect the evidence and shoot them down before the last run is complete, otherwise the sheriff will be displeased and the player will lose a life. Around the city are three shops where the player can upgrade weapons, and repair shields or their skimmer.</p>

<p>Based on the board game with the same name this game places you as a nation in the Mediterranean to rise and become the supreme ruler. Spanning about 8000 years, it covers the development of ancient civilizations from the start of agriculture to the emergence of Rome as the dominant power. Although military strategies are possible it's far from any wargame as the main goal is to gain an overall advancement involving cultural, economic, political and religious powers. The battles which emerge are normally the result of shortage of land rather than attempts to eliminate other nations. The player who effectively balances each aspect of the game will build the strongest civilization and win the game. In contrast to most other board games the results of combat and other calculations don't involve chance - the only exception are event cards which may involve calamities like earthquakes or revolts.</p>

<p>You are on a mission to destroy the ultimate weapon of your enemy. This involves travelling through a set of precarious tunnels in your high-tech hover-craft. The tunnels are filled with enemy vehicles, choppers and sentry guns which you have to take out or avoid. To make life even worse, a lot of sections require you to clear them in a given time limit. The only good thing is that you'll be able to upgrade your weaponry often.</p>

<p>Dangerous Dave is back in this gory and macabre side-scrolling action game. Battle wolves and other man-killing creatures with your shotgun attempting to rescue Dave's little brother Delbert from the castle of the evil Dr. Nemesis. There are eleven levels in the game and some more creatures than in the previous installments.</p>

<p><em>Dave Goes Nutz</em> is the fourth installation of the Dangerous Dave series. Dave has to rescue his little brother Delbert from the evil Dr. Nemesis who has hidden him in a mental hospital. Blast through levels of zombies using your shotgun.</p>

<p>In this game, you run your own software company. Your responsibility is to hire and fire programmers and artists, buy decent concepts, then do your best to get the project done - and finally see if it is better than your competitors' products!</p>

<p>You awake in prison, without the memory of who you are, where you are and why you are imprisoned. In the corner of your cell you find a briefcase computer, which gives you the control over a unit of four droids. Now you must use these droids to find yourself, and free yourself. </p>
<p><em>Captive</em> has a sci-fi setting, but resembles more a fantasy RPGs with robots and droids. With the help of the droids you explore tech-dungeons and seek information, which leads to the next planet(s) on a path, the end of which is your cell.</p>
<p>The movement and fighting is similar to games like <a href="/search/?q=Eye+of+the+Beholder">Eye of the Beholder</a>, but you can buy droid parts in shops beside the usual weapons and items. The droids haven't levels like in "normal" role-playing games; you must buy upgrades for the different parts of the droids, which make them stronger and faster. You can also buy a variety of chips, which allow the droids to see in darkness, invert the gravity or simple to shield a little period of time.</p>

<p>Silent Hunter is a World War II U.S. Fleet Submarine Combat Simulator. As a commander of a U.S. submarine in the Pacific Theatre, from Pearl Harbor to the end of the war, you have a variety of submarines from which to choose and your task is simple, sink as much enemy tonnage as possible. One can play historical missions, hypothetical encounters or the career based campaign game. There are 9 patrol zones,from the Solomons to the Sea of Japan, and many coastal cities, ports and harbors to sneak into on either recon missions or to just sink ships tied up in port. As commander you may receive medals or commendations after especially successful or hazardous missions. Compare your tonnage and kill scores to those of actual commanders of the period and see if you can match up to the best.</p>

<p>(From the back of the box):
"I'ts kill or be killed.  Move or die.  Match wits against real players in CyberCity.  Collect Power up modules to boost performance on your own personal Cyberpod.  The longer you stay alive, the more powerful you become.</p>
<p>Four teams of four players each compete for control of precious city squares.  Work together or play head-to-head as you strive to blast your enemies out of their pods.  Talk to your teammates or taunt your opponents.  Strategy, skill and lightning reflexes are the only things that will keep you alive in this deadly world.  Cyberstrike(tm)- it's multiplayer virtual reality at it's best."</p>
<p>The objective is to stomp around blasting your foes with lasers, bombs, missiles, etc. while battling for city blocks.</p>

<p><em>Amok</em> portrays a futuristic storyline on a planet which is identified in the manual as having the same name. There, two gigantic corporations, referred to by the acronyms NONLUN and AZTK, had previously been having an all-out war between them for forty-seven years. The war had involved all possible fronts and theaters, including operations in the air, on the surface of the land and sea, and beneath the water. Very recently, a weak peace accord had only just been reached. In the manual, the peace accord is described as being much like "a blanket covering the fire that smolders in the hearts of the people. The agreement is sufficiently unsteady that an influential mercenary company, known only as "the Bureau," has now decided to hire a capable battle walker pilot named Gert Staun to restart the war so they can continue to make large amounts of money by taking lucrative contracts from both sides. The player takes the role of Gert Staun.</p>
<p>Naturally "the Bureau" has placed a high priority on this, and they are funding it entirely on their own. Indeed, Gert Staun's battle walker, called the "Slambird" is explicitly said to be custom-modified. In particular, the Slambird can not only survive either on land or underwater, but it can transition between the two -- it can move, fight, and safely control its vertical position in either environment. These abilities are portrayed as costly and not standard to such vehicles in the universe where <em>Amok</em> takes place. The transformation of the Slambird between an underwater vehicle and a land vehicle is automatically scripted, however. The player has no power to control this transformation or alter the time when it happens. Instead, the player must get to the point when Staun will automatically bring the Slambird ashore to continue his attacks.</p>
<p>The object of this arcade-type game is to meet a series of objectives, and to do so in such a way that each side will blame the other. The game has a linear structure, based on levels that present tasks of increasing difficulty, and all sorts of hazards and targets are encountered. These include military bases, power generators, land mines, infantry, tanks, submarines -- even sharks and huge, aggressive birds. Infantry elements are poorly armored, so they can be killed by being run over. In one mission, the only way that the player will be able to get enough time to escape is to open with a surprise attack, slowing pursuit by destroying a parking facility full of unattended troop transport vehicles. Power-ups are scattered throughout the levels. The Slambird carries a variety of explosive devices and line-of-sight weapons. Some of the explosive weapons can bounce in a parabolic trajectory, and in addition there are two laser cannons that can fire rapidly an unlimited number of times. These cannons are useful in case no other weapons remain, and they can be used to create complex ripple fire, which can be used to cover an area that is surprisingly wide. When underwater, propellers are used, while torpedoes are automatically used instead of missiles.</p>

<p>USS Ticonderoga lets you command a Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser in a real-time naval combat simulation. 
There are three theaters of operation: the Persian Gulf, the North Atlantic or the Sea of Japan and you will have to take your ship there and try to keep the peace and carry out your missions. </p>

<p>Aliens invade the earth and capture all the heroes who could defend us. With the modern weapons that they have, the aliens work to eradicate all lifeforms. In this moment, Luigi and his pet Spaghetti (a worm) decide to liberate all the heroes.</p>
<p>You take control of Luigi, and Spaghetti will help you to accomplish your mission. First, smash every alien egg or hatched aliens by jumping on them. Second, release prisoned hero (Indiana Jones, Luke Skywalker and many more). The game is divided into 7 various locations - Egypt, Amazon, Italy, Camelot, U.S.A., Transylvania and last is Moon. Each place has its own environment and creatures so in Egypt you'll meet mummies and pharaohs with pyramids in the background whilst Transylvania, for example is occupied by classic horror characters like Dracula or Frankenstein. Also remember that every touch of enemy is wounding unless you momentarily transform to Superman by finding "S" icon.</p>

<p>In the far future, conflict is at an all-time low and outdated defence bases are being vacated and replaced with automated software. You play as an engineer sent to update one such base. Just after uploading the automating code, the base is suddenly invaded by unknown assailants from the air and ground. You must rely on your wits and the defence software to fend them off.</p>
<p>The main game takes place in a first-person view inside the complex. Trams connect the maze-like living areas to a handful of manned turrets outside. You must shuttle between shooting down waves of fighters in the turrets, and scouring the base levels for card keys during the downtime.</p>
<p>A third consideration is the "Virtual Operating System" controlling all major base functions. You use this interface to repair damage from attacks, monitor intruders, and place robot sentries to guard key passages. As you find more access keys, you can increase the software's efficiency to the point that you can command turrets remotely, or set them to auto-attack with a high degree of success. </p>
<p>As defending the base becomes more automated and efficient, you have more time to search the levels for keys. Your ultimate goal is to find the clearance to self-destruct the base, defend your escape shuttle, and get out alive.</p>

<p>Your small plane has crashed in the Sierra Nevada mountains.  You are all alone in the snow and cold, but you manage to pull a topographic map from the wreckage of your plane.  The map shows the location of a ranger outpost, your only hope for survival.  But you could be anywhere on this map, an area "twice the size of the state of Delaware."  To survive, you must determine your location and hike to the safety of the outpost.</p>
<p>The game provides six different information screens to aid you in your journey.  The View screen shows a three-dimensional panorama of your immediate surroundings.  The Topo screen is a two-dimensional map of the 90x67 mile area where you have crashed.  Your first job is to figure out where you are on the map.  In the View screen you can type commands (e.g., LOOK RIGHT, LOOK UP, PAN LEFT) to help orient yourself on the surrounding terrain.</p>
<p>The Status and Inventory screens give you reports on your physical condition and survival gear, respectively.  The Help and Clue screens give you survival advice and hints, if you want them, but cost you points.</p>
<p>When you are ready to set out, you issue travel commands (e.g., WALK FOR 20 MINUTES) which move you in the direction you are facing (the View screen is redrawn when you reach your next location).  To survive, you must also make use of your inventory and things in your environment.  All interaction with the game is in the form of type-written phrases:</p>
<p>WEAR PARKA</p>
<p>USE GUN/KILL BEAR/USE KNIFE/SKIN BEAR</p>
<p>USE MATCHES/MAKE FIRE</p>
<p>USE FIRE/COOK BEAR/EAT BEAR</p>
<p>The game recognizes 300 different nouns and verbs to allow you to navigate, travel, make camp, use gear and supplies, prepare food, care for health and first aid, and make use of wildlife, plants, and weapons.</p>
<p>A second scenario is also available in which you play an archeologist in search of the Lost City of Gold.  Here, you begin your journey with a "long-forgotten" map and several obscure clues.  The game included a form to order additional geographic areas: Bolivia, Burma, British Columbia, Chile, and New Guinea.</p>

<p>This package contains <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/34390/strike-commander-cd-rom-edition/">Strike Commander: CD-ROM Edition</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23543/wing-commander-privateer-cd-rom-edition/">Wing Commander: Privateer - CD-ROM Edition</a>.

<p>The 3rd installment in the Tony La Russa Baseball series. This sports an array of new features and improvements for both arcade-action fans and baseball strategists and statisticians. </p>
<p>The response time of all input device options has been optimized to improve the reactions of the on-screen ballplayers. From pitching and hitting to running and fielding, gamers will now enjoy quicker, more responsive interaction when playing the game. </p>
<p>With the new pitcher/batter matchups, specific confrontations between each pitcher and batter can now be simulated even more accurately, with an expanded database of stats reflecting each pitcher's and batter's tendencies versus any opponent they've faced during their careers. </p>
<p>In addition to providing detailed play-by-play and color commentary for each game in the "action (arcade) mode" as they did in Tony La Russa Baseball 3, the game's veteran announcers, Mel Allen, Lon Simmons, and Hank Greenwald, supply more realism than ever by referring to each player by name when pitching, batting, fielding and baserunning. </p>
<p>Two "universes" of data-final 1995 season stats and 1996 Spring Training rosters-are available when simulating a single game, an entire season, or multiple future seasons in the "General Manager Challenge" mode. </p>
<p>New stat categories have been added, which help define each hitter's performance in specific situations, such as: runners in scoring position; pinch-hitting appearances; and other critical circumstances such as close games in the late innings. </p>
<p>Clutch performers like Wade Boggs, Mike Piazza, Barry Bonds, and Don Mattingly are now portrayed more faithfully than ever before.</p>

<p>This game is based on the movie <em>Die Hard</em>. A group of terrorists has taken control of a high rise tower in an attempt to take $600 million. Your job is to rescue your wife who is trapped in the building and stop the terrorists. The game is played with a 3-D point of view allowing you to search the building for useful items and fight terrorists with a variety of weapons or by hand. Cut scenes keep you informed of the plot as it progresses.</p>

<p>Back to Baghdad is a simulation of the air war over Iraq a few years after the end of the Gulf War, with you taking the place of a F-16 pilot in a series of "one off" missions.</p>
<p>The game included a fairly detailed rendering of the F-16, it's cockpit and systems. The terrain engine mapped most of southern Iraq using satellite imagery, and did all of this with a software renderer.</p>

<p>In 2005, aliens have taken over Antarctica. You are sent in to combat them with the new super tank, the Slye-Hicks MX-100, Codename: Arcticfox. </p>
<p><em>Arcticfox</em> is a futuristic-based 3D tank simulation game where your overall goal is to destroy the invading aliens' main fortress before Arcticfox is destroyed.</p>
<p>Enemy targets come in all sorts of shapes and sizes: planes, tanks, recon sleds and other important targets such as communication towers, atmosphere converters, etc. Your state-of-the-art killing machine is equipped with a cannon, guided missiles and mines at your disposal in addition to radar and forward/aft view-screens to detect your enemy advances.</p>

<p>F-14 Tomcat is a flight simulator / action game. You get to fly an F-14 in a variety of combat situations, either in a single battle at a time or create a career.</p>
<p>Graphical enhancements that were new for the time period include full 256-color support and gradiated ground/sky/horizon.</p>

<p><em>Pea Shootin' Pete</em> is an extended re-release of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4135/spit-wad-willy/">Spit Wad Willy</a>. The gameplay stays exactly the same, but this game adds background music and a practice mode. Additionally the background graphics have been altered, the number and placement of the ball(s) is sometimes slightly different and the main character is called Pete.</p>

<p>Saturday - half past 3 p.m.
Ideal soccer weather for soccer. The stadium is sold out. The fans are singing the team hymn.
You're team is 2 points behind the leader. This is the match of the year for you and your team. The next 90 minutes will decide over success or failure. You have to win if your team want to be next year in the first division. The pressure is mighty. You have to calm your nerves.</p>
<p>You sit on the hottest seat in soccer. You are the manager of your favorite team and have to lead your the team from the amateur division into the European first class.</p>
<p>Hattrick! is another German soccer manager. There are two different modes. The serious and the funny one. The difference you see in the game newspaper reviews.</p>

<p>As the name implies you get to run your own baseball team. You play as a sort of all powerful coach with complete control over your team; you do want to have players who can play well though, you can trade, delete, and create new players at will, and you don't have to worry about labor strikes. You can decide where to put all your players, you can tell them what plays to play. All of this is done with real names of real baseball players and real teams. Graphics are colored ASCII.</p>
<p>The Spinnaker release makes minor alterations to the original version of the game. The names of the fielders are now displayed and the on field activities now have more flavor text.</p>

<p>Dime City, a fictitious American town in the last 30 years of the last century, is the scene of this business simulation in the gangster environment. With one of 4 companies you try to reach your aims – being governor and godfather of Dime City. With (bank-)raids, blackmails or prostitution you raise your money.

</ul>

<p><em>Hard Drivin' II</em> is the sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Hard+Drivin">Hard Drivin'</a> which featured bold 3D polygon graphics and a chaotic feeling of speed.</p>
<p>Many of the bugs in the original, such as cars appearing through the hills, are gone in this game. The frame rate of the game increases slightly, with the controls being more reliable. A 2-player mode has been added. There are also 4 new tracks and a course designer.</p>

<p>In this first person driver/shooter, the player must protect a body's base cells from attack by evil infecting cells.  The field of battle is a toroidal grid on which your tri-colored half-sphere base cells sit awaiting your protection.  The invading cells (also tri-colored spheres) attempt to bond together into groups and destroy your bases.  You destroy the infecting cells by lobbing antibodies (also tri-colored spheres) at them.  Hit an infector with the right color shot and it is destroyed.  The catch is that you have a limited amount of each color of ammunition.  Run out of a color and the game is over.  The situation is also complicated by Spitters, enemies that appear and spew out new attacking cells if you take too long to complete a level.</p>

<p>A week in the life of the British Prime Minister.  But not just any Prime Minister, this game puts you in the shoes of Prime Minister James (Jim) Hacker from the classic BBC television comedy "Yes, Prime Minister".  </p>
<p>Much like most political simulations, you must balance your popularity with the needs of your party, the meddling of foreign governments, and the small minded incompetence of the civil servants that surround you.  All of this is played out with multiple choice dialogues between Hacker and the other cast members of the series (complete with lo-res digital pictures).  The dry humor of the show abounds as you must deal with crises such as the French refusing to continue work on the channel tunnel until Waterloo station is renamed.  Fans of the show will recognize much of the material and non-fans should still find enough laughs to keep them interested.</p>

<p><em>Die Kathedrale</em> is German interactive fiction with graphics.</p>
<p>The second of three German text adventure games by developer <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Weltenschmiede">Weltenschmiede</a>, <em>Die Kathedrale</em> ("The Cathedral") confronts you with a mystery centuries old and fiendishly dangerous -- located in a majestic cathedral.</p>
<p>By bad luck, you have been locked in the fictional cathedral of St. Peter, an impressive architectural masterpiece that has a disturbing history of inquisition and dark secrets. Even worse, a set of ancient documents tells you that you have but three days to find and disarm 15 devilish mechanisms that the medieval architect Victor Paz has hidden throughout the ancient building. The parchments give one vague clue to each mystery, but many others are concealed within the church. Why does the great organ have one lever more than it has records? Why did Victor Paz have a well drilled in the catacombs? Could the rumor of a hidden spiral staircase in one of the big columns be true? With an eye for details and an alert mind, you will uncover secrets almost everywhere in the awe-inspiring building.</p>
<p>Fortunately, you are not alone: the cheerful Dani accompanies you on your quest. As you travel back in time with every step into the cathedrals past, Dani is first replaced by the butler Jasper, then by the medieval monk Daniel. Your companions are vital for your progress; not only do they provide clues and carry surplus equipment, but you may also give them specific orders to help you solve puzzles: on your command, they will go to any location, operate machinery or help you move things that are too heavy for one person alone.</p>

<p>Tilt! is a pinball game. The 6 pinballs you can play in the 3D full screen-modus or in the classic 2D scroll-modus. The themes of the pinballs are Science Fiction (Star Quest), Horror (Monster), Racing (Road King), Underworld (Gangster), Fantasy (Myst &amp; Majik) and Fair (Funfair). Every pinball has multi-ball gaming, animations (esp. ball-locks) during the game and intermezzos in the scoring field.</p>

<p><em>Race Drivin'</em> is a sequel to the driving simulator <a href="/search/?q=Hard+Drivin'">Hard Drivin'</a>. Game play is similar to the first game. The player must complete laps around the race track before a timer expires. There are several checkpoints around the track which increase player's time as he passes. </p>
<p><em>Race Drivin'</em> has three courses, one of which is the track from <em>Hard Drivin'</em>. There is a new super-stunt track, and an autocross course. The player also may choose from three types of cars.</p>

<p>The object of the game is simple - gain control of the entire world by using your armies to crush your opponents. You'll start off with a city, which must then produce armies, that are used to conquer more cities. The array of unit types is limited to eight, including various ships, fighter planes, ground units and a submarine. This is more than made up for by the significantly different abilities each of the units possess, and the game will mostly likely appeal to the Chess and Risk player's of the world.</p>

<p>His name is Zool, and he is a gremlin-like creature from another dimension. He is forced to land on the Earth, but his sole goal is to attain the prestigious ranking of a Ninja.

<p><em>Der Schatz im Silbersee</em> is a graphic adventure game with an icon-based point-and-click interface.</p>
<p>Based on the novel <em>Der Schatz im Silbersee</em> by German author Karl May, this game let’s you join the wild west adventurers Old Firehand, chief Winnetou and Tante Droll on their way up the Arkansas River, through Utah to the Rocky Mountains. They’re searching for the famous treasure in Silver Lake, but they’re not the only ones: the unscrupulous Red Colonel and his band of tramps aren’t exactly eager to share...</p>
<p>You take control of Old Firehand, performing actions with a set of only three basic commands and a good deal of inventory management. The game features four episodes: the steamer Dogfish, the rafter’s camp, Butler’s farm, and the treasure hunt at the Silbersee. The Eagle’s Tail and Utah chapters of the novel, roughly one half of the book, are omitted. The cast is greatly reduced, too, with neither Old Shatterhand nor any of the companions appearing at all. Knowledge of the book will not give you any advantages, as all of the puzzles are original and often deviate strongly from the events in the novel.</p>
<p>You can find more information on Karl May and his books in the trivia and links sections.</p>

<p>This is a 16-color DOS PC shareware clone of the classic "Star Trek" game of 1970's mainframes. However since Star Trek is a license, several names have been changed to avoid infringing the copyright, but the gameplay remains intact.</p>
<p>The game itself is simple. Each sector of the universe is an 8x8 grid containing planets, starbases, friendly or enemy starships and suns. Within this sector you can navigate to any point on the grid with impulse engines, or venture to a new sector using Warp engines. Your ship is equipped with lasers and torpedos to help defend yourself, and scanners to assess the nearby threats and nearby sectors. Additionally you'll need to find starbases for quick repairs and to resupply and may also discover new and unusual planets to beam down and explore. A nice touch to EGA Trek over all other clones is a "viewscreen" window which provides a crude graphic view of nearby objects.</p>
<p>Two distinct empires make your enemies list. The Mongols are the forces you'll run into again and again. Armed battle cruisers of various strengths. The other enemy are the Vandal, seen only in 1 type of ship, but able to cloak and avoid your sensors.</p>
<p>Should your vessel suffer enough damage, various systems will begin to fail and quite possibly you'll be down to your final reserve power and life support. From this point, sustaining more damage or not being able to repair the ship will result in the deaths of all crew members aboard and the ultimate failure of your mission. Success on the other hand is brought about by clearing the entire galaxy of hostile Mongol and Vandal fleets... with bonuses for discoveries, rescues and living crew members.</p>

<p>On the distant planet Chromos, the Drullian people fight the forces of Skynet-Titan, an AI out of control.
The player has to lead the Drull armies to victory in several battles.</p>
<p>A turn-based strategy game. The screen is split in two, one half for each player. While the first player can move his units, the other can attack and vice versa.</p>
<p>There are 16 levels to play against the computer and another 16 for 2 player competitive play.</p>

<p>A turn-based strategy game set in World War I, using a similar engine and gameplay system as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5812/battle-isle/">Battle Isle</a>.</p>
<p>Both players act simultaneously on a split screen. While one player can move his units, the other can attack and vice versa. The results of battles are shown in animated sequences that can be turned off or on depending on a player's choice.</p>
<p>Terrain affects the performance of units during battles adding a little variety factor. The more damage a unit causes to opponents the more experienced it becomes. It has a huge influence on its accuracy and strength. Units have different weapon and movement range depending on the type and the purpose of the unit. Different units are introduced as the game and war progress with more air and sea battles later on. Maps are filled with depots where a player can repair damaged units and factories where units can also be produced. During the game, seasons change with an impact on the terrain and the battles.</p>
<p>There are 48 single-player maps in the game - 24 maps for each of the battling parties: Germans and French. In addition, there are 24 two-player maps. Each of them is accessible through an access code received after successful completion of the previous map. While playing, it is also possible to make a save game of the current progress on the map.</p>
<p>The game includes a lot of information about the period: after each mission, historical facts with black and white pictures about two months of wartime are displayed, as well as some technical specifications and pictures of units are presented during the game. This also adds an educational factor concerning the World War I time period.</p>

<p><em>Special Forces</em> is a top-down arcade shooting game with a dash of strategy.</p>
<p>It is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1297/airborne-ranger/">Airborne Ranger</a>.</p>
<p>When times are rough, the American people rely on their army. And when times are rough, the American army relies on their special forces. A small group of highly trained, superbly skilled, well-armed and clean-shaven elite soldiers boldly go where no man has gone before. At least no honest man.</p>
<p><em>Special Forces</em> let's you control a team of four in a top-down view and setting reminiscent of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1038/jagged-alliance/">Jagged Alliance</a>, only that the time ticks continuously. Consequently, strategy and stealth stand back behind <a href="/search/?q=Gauntlet">Gauntlet</a>-style arcade action. Moving alone or in squad formation, you shoot enemy soldiers and blow up bunkers, always quick to go in and quicker yet to go out. Goals vary from deploying laser targeting systems for air strikes to assassinations to rescue missions; some assignments take place under cover of darkness, with night vision systems coloring the landscape a gloomy green.</p>
<p>16 missions take you to four different parts of the world, from the terrorist's arctic ice to the drug cartel's native jungle. Before hopping into the helicopter, you may choose four soldiers out of eight, each with different special abilities, and equip each one. Reading the text briefings is crucial, as the game won't warn you if you go on a bombing raid without any explosives. Also, the higher the difficulty level you choose, the less accurate is the info that you get on your targets, so you'll have to search the area. Luckily, a detailed map provides an overview. As enemies respawn and ammo depletes, some men may not make it back. Those who do can be awarded medals and promotions, which will boost their morale and increase their stats.</p>

<p>In the 16th century, Japan's Sengoku ("Warring States") period divided the nation into numerous feudal states, each ruled by a daimyo. These daimyos would often go to war with each other. Many dreamt of conquering the land, becoming the Shogun and ruling the entire country. One of those daimyos was the ambitious Nobunaga Oda, a merciless ruler and a renowned strategist. Players take on the role of Nobunaga Oda or one of many other daimyos to try to conquer Japan. </p>
<p><em>Nobunaga's Ambition</em> is a turn-based strategy game which can be played in different modes. Gameplay is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Koei">Koei</a>'s better known <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9093/romance-of-the-three-kingdoms/">Romance of the Three Kingdoms</a> game. Players begin by selecting either a 17 regions scenario or a larger 50 scenario. Then, the player must select a daimyo, each of which is rated attributes in several categories; Age, Health, Ambition, Luck, Charm and IQ. As the game progresses, these values change depending on events in the game. The age value represents a time limit of sorts, as an elderly daimyo becomes increasingly likely to die of old age or sickness.</p>
<p>During each of turn (one per season), players can issue one of several commands from a menu. They include: Recruiting new soldiers, Training the army, Buying Weapons, Increasing Peasant morale, Forming alliances or Hiring Ninjas to bribe &amp; assassinate. When one player attacks another, there is a war fought over the defender's region. Battles are fought in an overhead-view hex battle map. Each player takes turn moving units and issuing orders, which include attack, move, bribe and surrender. The goal is to defeat all of the enemy units (or force them into surrender). Army units each have a certain weakness against other types of enemies, and are also affected by the terrain.</p>

<p>In <em>3-D Helicopter Simulator</em>, fly the McDonnell Douglas AH-64A Apache attack helicopter. The game allows the player to fly over various locations, or play in a target practice and combat modes. Two players can compete via a modem.</p>

<p><em>Thunderstrike</em> is a 3d spaceship shooter set in the year 2238, using a non-textured polygon graphics engine. As a pilot in the "Ground Defense Games", you must make your way through several arenas built on different planets. You can choose from four different ships, each with different properties (better/worse acceleration, top speed, or turning speed).</p>
<p>When you enter the arena, you are given several pyramids that you must defend from robotic drones sent out to collapse them. In addition to defending your pyramids, you must destroy the spawning centers that spawn not only drones, but an array of robotic fighters to hunt you down.</p>
<p>When you destroy a fighter, sometimes it will leave behind an upgrade pod (shield, turbo, power, or twin-fire). There are also tracks that you can latch your ship onto to travel the perimeter of the arena quickly.</p>
<p>At the end of each round, your performance is reviewed, and if you did good, your ship is upgraded and you move on to the next round.</p>

<p>Based on the board game of the same name, <em>221 B Baker St.</em> pits up to four players against each other in a race to solve mysteries set in Victorian London. After picking a character (Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, Irene Adler, or Inspector Lestrade), players select one of the thirty available mysteries and read its case file in the game's manual. The case file presents the particulars of the case, mentions the people involved, and explains what the players need to deduce to win the game.</p>
<p>Solving the mysteries entails moving around London (the game board) via a roll of the dice, entering locales to collect clues, and then piecing the clues together. Among the fifteen locations available are a pub, a park, and a bank, and each location is brought to life with voice synthesis. Each location will have a clue, but not all clues will be useful. </p>
<p>Before solving the case, players must visit Scotland Yard for a badge. Players might also want to use a badge to lock a location with a useful clue, requiring other players to detour to the locksmith. Once a player believes they have solved the case, they must return to Baker Street and answer a quiz. If the player is incorrect, the other players can continue.</p>

<p><em>Turbo</em> is a classic-style racing arcade game which somewhat resembles <a href="/search/?q=Outrun">Outrun</a> in that the player has to drive a certain distance in a short time, then you receive extra time. It takes place on a public road, which has two lanes, one with traffic travelling (fairly slowly) in the same direction as the player and one with oncoming traffic. The player can change lanes at any time to overtake cars/avoid oncoming traffic. The player's car has two gears and an accelerator but no brakes. Slowing down is achieved by lifting off the gas or shifting down to first gear. There is no limit to the number of times a player can crash into another vehicle (i.e. no 'life' system), however doing so means accelerating again from a standing start, wasting valuable time.</p>
<p>The game starts with 60 seconds of time remaining, and points are awarded depending on the distance covered and number of cars passed. For every 10,000 points earnt an extra 60 seconds of time is added to the clock. The game ends when there is no time left on the clock.</p>
<p>The game was written entirely in Assembler.</p>

<p><em>Fooblitzky</em> was Infocom's attempt at changing their image in three ways: by making a graphic and multiplayer strategy game.</p>
<p>The concept was kind of a scavenger hunt, where players would run around town, spend money, collect clues, and deduce what the four objects were to win the game. It used many off-computer components, including folding maps/notebooks.</p>

<p>Bub and Bob are back! Like in <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> in reverse, you shoot bubbles at an array of different-colored bubbles stuck in an ever descending ceiling, attempting to match them up three by three to make them disappear.</p>

<p><em>Great Courts 2</em> is a tennis game and the sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Great+Courts">Great Courts</a>. You start the game by creating a player and distributing character points, for instance on speed, forehand, backhand etc. The initial skills are raised after winning a few matches.

In the training mode you can play against a ball machine or against a friend. There are different settings to program the ball machine, for instance to practice a certain type of shot. It is also possible to have matches with one player competing against two.</p>

<p>Your task is to reconstruct a series of pictures by collecting scattered tiles and placing them in the right sequence. It's an apparently simple assignment on the surface, but don't be fooled. You will also have to cope with tile-pinching chess pieces, dissolving tiles and causeways, transporter tiles, and a horrendously tight time limit.</p>

<p>Max Montezuma is a soldier who also happens to be a descendant of a legendary Aztec emperor. One day Max's plane crashes on an uncharted, deserted island. Max discovers ancient ruins there and ventures to explore them, attempting to connect the mystery of the past with the events of the present.</p>
<p><em>Montezuma's Return</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1178/montezumas-revenge/">Montezuma's Revenge</a>, and also focuses on platforming gameplay which includes puzzle-solving, avoiding obstacles, and fighting enemies. Unlike its predecessor, it is a first-person 3D game. The player is able to see the protagonist's feet when moving the camera, to facilitate precise platform jumping.</p>
<p>Every level ends with a boss battle, and each boss must be defeated in a specific way. Max can punch and kick enemies, and also use environmental hazards to damage them; pushing enemies into water or luring them into traps will kill them. Some areas require Max to jump on moving platforms, climb ropes, swim, avoid falling into lava or deadly spikes, etc. Max can collect treasure on each level, bananas or watermelon slices to heal himself, and special items to unlock barriers.</p>
<p>The full version of <em>Montezuma's Revenge</em> is included on the CD.</p>

<p>The game shares a lot with EA Sports' <a href="/search/?q=FIFA+International+Soccer">early FIFA titles</a>. It uses an isometric perspective, with buttons to pass and kick the ball, and a timed gauge for place kicks.</p>
<p>The menus are structured in the same way as <em>FIFA</em>, with options including arcade and simulation modes, changing the firmness of the ground, and the weather.</p>

<p><em>Curse of the Catacombs</em> is a first-person shooter very similar to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/410/the-catacomb-abyss/">previous game</a>. Once again, you're a mage whose quest is to destroy the evil Nemesis. Just like in the previous installment, you can throw fireballs at your foes or use them to destroy certain walls. You can find bolts and nukes which allow more powerful attacks, healing potions, scrolls and keys. You can also find gems which allow you to see approaching enemies on your radar. </p>
<p>Of course, there are completely new levels to explore and many new enemies to fight, such as harmless rabbits which suddenly turn into fearsome beasts, or evil trees which can be set on fire.</p>

<p>Set in between the SSI's AD&amp;D Dragonlance action games <a href="/game/sheet/gameId,3601">Heroes of the Lance</a> and <a href="/game/sheet/gameId,1868">Shadow Sorcerer</a>. This game follows the tradition of Heroes of the Lance with a side-scrolling, action-oriented view, a breakaway from the standard GoldBox RPGs. Plot-wise, it also takes place between those two games, following closely the novel/game modules written by Weiss/Hickman.</p>
<p>You take control of one character at a time, with each hero having different abilities.</p>

<p><em>Alien Rampage</em> is a 2D side-scroller with large animated sprites and multiple layers of parallaxing backgrounds.</p>
<p>You are a lone angry alien dude with a bad attitude. You crash landed on an inhospitable planet, and thus you set out to get back to a ship so you can leave this horrible place. To make it, you'll blast hundreds upon hundreds of nasty creatures, enemy bounty hunters, and you'll use some pretty impressive weaponry to do it.</p>
<p>You'll also get to buy power ups and get help from the goofy local troll-like natives, to solve puzzles.</p>
<p>The gameplay consists of running, jumping and shooting, with a big emphasis on shooting. The action is very gory, and is akin to <a href="/search/?q=Doom:+Evil+Unleashed">DOOM</a> in 2D.</p>

<p>A puzzle game with 40 levels. Escape from each level by pushing blocks around to block laser beams, fill in water etc. There are no time limits, as the emphasis is on puzzles rather than action.</p>

<p>A continuation of Bolo Adventures I, this game contains 40 more levels. The objective is the same; escape from each level by moving blocks to cut off laser beams and avoid monsters. Other hazards include water and electrified grates which must be deactivated before you can cross them.</p>

<p>The final part of the Bolo Adventures trilogy, this game has updated graphics and only 30 levels instead of the 40 in Bolo Adventure I and II. The objective remains the same, though - escape from each level by maneuvering blocks to fill in water, shut off laser beams and avoiding monsters. A demo level is provided, with a walkthrough to help introduce the game concept for new players.</p>

<p>A strategy game - your aim is to get to the far end of a large grid, filled with enemies, holes and walls. You have the ability to create and fill in holes, to stop the enemies reaching you or to reach new areas. The enemies vary in intelligence - some will just move towards you, while others will move around walls to reach you. The further forward you move, the more points you gain; if you have to backtrack you'll lose them again.</p>

<p>Perhaps the earliest "official" version of Scrabble for the PC.

<p>The Quivering is a humorous, cartoon style adventure game, which spoofs the famous ghouls and goblins from historic horror flicks.</p>
<p>When Olivetti Franken-Stamp, a member of the Mad Scientist Guild, goofs on his latest scientific experiment, all hell breaks loose - literally! Every demon, murderer, monster and freak is back on earth causing major havoc and mayhem.  Franken-Stamp urgently sends for Spud, his cantankerous, redheaded nephew, to come to the rescue. With the aid of his uncle's "Ghoul Cube", Spud must return all of the evil meanies to their rightful place.</p>
<p>The game is a first person, point &amp; click adventure with whimsical, three-dimensional characters set in detailed graphical locations, which you view in 360 degrees. The collection of cute little creatures called imps is the key for saving games and solving some of the puzzles.  Puzzles are varied and include the traditional ones (using inventory items, talking to non-player characters, etc.) as well as a few arcade style sequences.</p>
<p>Reminiscent of cartoon style LucasArts games, The Quivering brings together a blend of spookiness and comedy. Listen to voice impressions of Vincent Price and Boris Karloff. Visit and fully explore classic movie sets and meet your favorite monsters.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5776/zool/">Zool</a> sees him take on the bad guys Mental Block and Krool across 15 levels.</p>
<p><em>Zool 2</em> is a platform game where you control the titular "Ninja of the Nth Dimension" (or his girlfriend, Zooz, who can complete each level in a slightly different way) as he rampages through a variety of levels, collecting countless tasty treats, shooting any enemies that he encounters and finding bonuses (there's a variety of special power-ups Zool can find - for example, a bomb that follows him and can be blown up at any time to remove on-screen enemies or temporary invulnerability). New to the sequel is Zool's ability to scale walls and his new spinning attacks. </p>
<p>On each level, you have to collect a certain amount of the featured fruit within an allocated time limit, and then find the exit across the multi-directionally-scrolling levels. There are lots of hidden areas to see, including a bonus Breakout game starring Zool's pet 2-headed dog.</p>

<p><em>The Patrician</em> is set in medieval times, focusing on the trading efforts of the Hanseatic League. You (and up to 3 other players) struggle for money and respectability. You should build up sea routes between the 16 cities in the North and Baltic Sea, and your ultimate goal is to be governor of your hometown. For this you need a lot of money and high respectability. The game ends, when you are elected to Ältermann—the highest rank in this century.</p>
<p>You earn money by buying goods cheap and selling them for higher price. With the profits you can buy new ships (out of 4 different types) or stores. </p>
<p>There are also pirate battles. For these, you can buy weapons for your ships and go with ships from other traders to hunt the pirates.</p>

<p>This is the sequel to 1995's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5983/loaded/">Loaded</a>, with an improved graphics engine, and just as much violence and blood. <em>Re-Loaded</em> puts you in the shoes of a number of characters, such as Sister Magpie or Butch. Each character is weird, deformed, and generally strange.</p>
<p>It is a mission based game, where you must complete various objectives to successfully win in each of the 12 worlds. Throughout each mission, you must kill lots of people, with a variety of weapons such as plasma cannons, lasers and ultra bombs.</p>

<p><em>Utopia</em> takes the <a href="/search/?q=Sim+City">Sim City</a> gameplay concept and adds a military element to it. The game is set in the distant future, where your job is nothing less than Colony Administrator for a new settlement on some far-flung planet. Your aim is to provide the highest Quality of Life rating for the colonists. </p>
<p>You do so by ensuring that there is enough life support, power, housing, employment, police and entertainment to keep the citizens of your colony happy. Hindering your goal are random events such as solar eclipses (which can render your solar panels inactive) and also a different, hostile alien race that inhabits the planets in the many scenarios at offer. </p>
<p>Not only do you have to be a good mayor but you also have to be a good general. Resources must not only be attributed to civilian research but into weapons research, intelligence and the building of tanks and spaceships, if you wish to survive long enough to see your colony flourish into a metropolis. As a rule, you will have built a strong colony before the aliens come, but the final push towards a QOL of 80% or higher can only be achieved once there is no outside threat.</p>

<p>The evil sorcerer Blackmagic took over a village named Jolimy. Only a lone apprentice magician named Serguei can eventually defeat him and liberate his homeland.</p>
<p><em>Serguei's Destiny</em> is made with the <em>AGI</em> interpreter, which was the engine used for <a href="/search/?q=Sierra+On-Line+Inc">Sierra's</a> adventure games in mid- to late 1980's (such as for example the first two <a href="/search/?q=space+quest">Space Quest</a> games). The game is primarily an adventure, but there are RPG elements as well: Serguei accumulates experience and learns new spells by completing quests.</p>
<p>The player uses the arrow keys to make Serguei walk, and types any commands to to interact with the game, such as "open door", "get star" and so on. To cast a spell, the player simply has to type its name and press Enter.</p>

<p>Following the successful gameplay of <a href="/search/?q=Dragon's+Lair">Dragon's Lair</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/68490/don-bluth/">Don Bluth</a> released this second conversion of his Laserdisc games series.</p>
<p>You're playing Dexter, a guy fighting the evil madman Borf who has kidnapped your girlfriend Kimberly and is now threatening the world with his dreaded weapon, the "Infanto Ray" which turns adults into small children.</p>
<p>The game plays like a comic strip - visuals are similar to many cartoon movies. In each scene, you only have to decide which direction of the keyboard has to be hit in order to avoid one of the countless death screens and to advance to the next screen...</p>

</ul>

<p>You take the role of the leader of an alien race trying to prevail against the corrupt human government. </p>
<p>Build up mining facilities, power stations and storage and production halls. Develop new spaceships, and arm your military. Only by investing sufficiently in research, can you be the winner over the long term! Is it your destiny to restore peace?</p>

<p><em>LifesBattle</em> is a first person game based on the knowledge of Bible and tenets of the Christian religion. You must travel your way through a series of mazes and obstacles, using quotes from the Bible to help you along. Hints are giving along the way to help you choose the right answer when you are posed with a moral or biblical question.</p>

<p>In the near future, gangland crime runs rampant. And you and up to three other friends are fighting to become the boss of the criminal underworld in a small city. You must commit various crimes, such as burglary, pickpocketing, robbery, kidnapping, assassination, and smuggling to climb through the ranks. Each type of crime has a minigame attached to it, be it tactical fighting, item pushing puzzles, breaking a code, sneaking past guards, or running through halls, trying to stay away from the cops. Eventually you will command up to 9 other gangsters to help you rise to power.</p>
<p>Crime Fighter can be played by up to four people at the same machine, though a single player mode is available as well.</p>

<p><em>Prototype</em> is a side-scrolling shooter. Controlling a cutting-edge prototype craft, you must save the world from an alien attack.</p>
<p>The ship has 4 different, always available, weapon systems. This makes the game a little bit more tactical than other shooters. Some enemies leave energy pills. These pills are necessary to upgrade your weapon systems four times.</p>
<p>The game has 5 different (and long) levels, including mountain and forest settings plus another planet.</p>
<p>In <em>Prototype</em> there are no extra lives. You have only one life, but you can always save your game.</p>

<p>Dwight Owen Barnes (played by James Coburn), the longtime Chief Executive Officer of the “A-IV Group”, a multinational corporation with diversified assets and interests throughout the world, has just mysteriously disappeared in his private jet. As news reports of the disappearance break, stock in the company falls sharply, and you are swiftly selected as new CEO. Tasked with recovering the company from the downfall and ever further expansion you must prove your leadership fast.</p>
<p>You will be required to buy and sell assets, build and manage the transportation infrastructure necessary to keep the company running, and allocate resources among more than 100 subsidiary companies. These are the tasks you must deal with while maximizing profit, keeping the investors from running you out, and preventing hostile takeovers from rival corporations.</p>

<p><em>Alien Virus</em> is a point-and-click adventure with a sci-fi setting and SVGA graphics. The player uses the command bar (with the four verbs "use", "take", "use" and "close") to interact with the environment. The puzzles are inventory based. Conversations take a minor role.</p>
<p>The player is cast as starship pilot Joshua Stone, who is returning to the space station Zeus to meet his girlfriend Cara after delivering some cargo. Upon arrival, he finds the station to be completely abandoned. Hence curious and bewildered, he wants to find out what happened.</p>

<p>Based on Stephen King's popular horror novel, The Dark Half attempts to retell the story of Thad Beaumont's mysterious world of crime via an adventure system reminiscent of Lucasarts' SCUMM interface. </p>
<p>In-game, you play Thad Beaumont, a successful horror-novelist whose evil twin besets the world with horrific crimes. The game offers a multitude of clues, quests and puzzles. The overall objective seems to be to prove Thad's innocence to the police, however Thad soon learns that his twin has other ideas, and has to run for his life.</p>

<p><em>Archipelagos</em> is a real-time puzzle and strategy game with an unconventional premise and equally unconventional gameplay.</p>
<p>In the future, man carelessly poisons the earth with nuclear waste. The polar ice caps have melted, turning the surface of the earth into many islands of decaying land masses, known as Archipelagos. Man then built systems to try to clean up the pollution, but these failed. The only life left were genetically-altered plants made in an effort to clean up the waste -- these also turned hostile. It is up to you to clean up the earth, island by island. </p>
<p>Controlling a hoversphere, it is up to you to make Earth's many islands of land habitable. To do this, you need to knock out the radiation generators on each island, which can be done by knocking out each generator's power sources (there are several per island). Once these are knocked out, you have 90 seconds to get back to the generator and disable it before it melts down, taking you with it.</p>
<p>Obstacles, unfortunately for you, are plentiful: You can't knock out a power source unless it is connected by a "land bridge" to the generator. You have the ability to create land where needed, but this takes up energy, and you have a limited supply. Also a hindrance are the many genetically-altered entities left behind on the islands: Viral trees that poison the ground; necromancers (former hoverspheres) that now erode land instead of creating it; eco eggs that explode on touch; and aircleaners, who are ruthlessly efficient in cleaning up the air -- and everything else, including you.</p>
<p>The entire game plays from a 3D first-person viewpoint. A movable cursor selects where to move or what to manipulate.</p>
<p>There are 10,000 islands on Earth to purify. If you can make it past Archipelago #100, you are then free to select any of them.</p>

<p>A long foretold prophecy is about to be fulfilled. The Shadow Lords are on the verge of entering our world. The hero has to find a way to break the string of events, that are foretold by the prophecy. Magic is dying in the land, and the use of it is illegal -- practitioners are hunted by Mage Hunters. And worst of all, the hero's master was treacherously killed by a poisoned dirk, and the hero is blamed for his death...</p>
<p><em>Prophecy of the Shadow</em> is a fantasy role-playing game from <em>SSI</em>, published in the "post AD&amp;D" era of the company. The player is controlling a single character in a 2D interface, using an engine specifically designed for this project. The protagonist has three main statistics: strength, magic, and agility (which influences his chances of dodging an enemy attack). In order to cast spells, the hero must learn them from magical tomes found in the game, and equip a catalyst that allows him to use them in combat. The combat takes place in the same area as the exploration, and is real-time: the player must select commands while the enemies are acting. The story is told using still pictures, text, and small animated sequences that used digitized actors superimposed over 3D rendered scenes.</p>

<p>Somewhere in London is a secret organization that is based on the 13th floor of an office building. The sole purpose for this organization’s existence is to keep the current British government in power at any cost - specifically, that means helping the current Prime Minister keep ahead of his competition in the polls.</p>
<p><em>Floor 13</em> is a management simulation controlled by a menu-based system (similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/258/darklands/">Darklands</a>) and is presented in black and white for a film noir feel. Players take the role of the Director General in this secret organization, and are given a target date of 20 days to attend to their duties. During this period, performance will be evaluated based on the Prime Minister's polling results. If the PM is doing well, the agency will be expanded and will have more equipment and services available to handle the situations it will encounter later in the game. If the PM is behind, Floor 13 risks reduction in the number of services it has available or even the player's continued employment. After each successful 20 day period, another 20 days are added to the calendar, full of new problems and objectives.</p>
<p>During the time between target dates, players will have to deal with various problems, both externally and internally. Some examples include: saving the son of the U.S. President from terrorists, breaking up a drug ring controlled by a VIP recently honored by the Queen, or even prevent a scientist in the British space agency from publicly stating that their latest achievement has been a total sham (shades of the film "Capricorn One"). While you are completing these tasks there is another secret society that will pressure you to have its goals completed, and this may very well interfere with the missions officially assigned to Floor 13.</p>
<p>The Floor 13 organization is not a benevolent one and players will need to do some rather unpleasant things to ensure that the democratic machine runs smoothly. Examples of activities include: searching and looting people’s homes, calling in commando units for heavy assault purposes, wire-tapping and trailing people without bothering to go through legal channels, discrediting notable people through the media and infiltrating established organizations. At times, you might even need to detain citizens and torture them (the torture bits can get rather graphic at times, though it's doled out through a text report), or even assassinate troublesome proles (one of the few political policy games, along with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9598/shadow-president/">Shadow President</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9621/cyberjudas/">CyberJudas</a>, to allow for such an activity). However if players become too eager at performing these "black hat" activities, they may draw too much attention to the agency and may summon the attention of a certain "Mr. Garcia" (who is good at helping noisy Director Generals fly through office windows).</p>

<p>In the sequel to Chex Quest, you again play the square cereal man.  This time you Flemoids have taken over your cities, and its up to you to stop them.  Using your arsonal of weapons from your first adventures, you travel to through the city all the way to the sewers, where you must face the head Flemoids themselves.</p>
<p>This game was downloadable from the Chex Quest website.  It could be classified as an add-on or mod, since it uses the same executable files to run the original game, but it technically isn't since it's a whole game.</p>

<p>This is an interactive movie straight from the IMAX movie "Speed".  The film is about the never-ending quest that humans have to go faster.  It starts out in prehistoric times, when all humans speed was restricted to how fast they could run.  Other inventions appear and evolve, like the wheel making way to the chariot, which made way to the automobile, which made way to the high-performance sports car of today.  The Wright brother flier made way for the biplane, which eventually made way for the jet airplane.  The film ends with this message: how fast will humans go in the future?</p>
<p>The whole package includes an interactive encyclopedia, a roller coaster simulation, a simulation featuring the comparison of the speeds of various animals and vehicles, and three educational games.</p>

<p>Entity is a side-scrolling platform game in which you control a female (in her bare essentials) trying to save a planet from an evil creature (the entity) that has broken lose from it's petrified state and is about to wreak havoc. An elder informs her that she is the chosen one, whom we get to see in the intro.</p>

<p>The background story of <em>Fire &amp; Ice</em> is quick to tell: A coyote (you) runs, throwing ice cubes, through various worlds. In the levels, you must jump on platforms and kill your enemies. The enemies (for example, birds and penguins) can be shot with your ice cubes; they become frozen, so you smash them. Sometimes they leave part of a key behind after they're destroyed. The complete key, assembled from all the pieces, opens the door to the next world. </p>
<p>In this "jump &amp; run" you can also get some power-ups. You can find some coyote puppies; these puppies follow you, are invulnerable, and also shoot enemies. In higher regions you find some snow-flakes; enough of these and you get a great snowball for freezing more enemies on the screen.</p>

<p>In <em>Oscar</em> the player controls the eponymous protagonist through seven levels in Hollywood-style areas (Science Fiction, Western, Horror, Cartoons, Dino, Detective and Gameshow), each divided into three scenes. The main goal is to jump and run through the level in order to find... Oscars (yes – the Academy Awards' statues!). If enough Oscars are collected, the level is completed. The player can explore levels in any order he/she wants - they are accessible through a tower of doors that are opened when tasks are completed. During his trip through the stages, the player encounters many enemies that can be avoided by jumping over or killed by jumping on them. The latter, as well as some collectibles, reward the player with power-ups like invulnerability, superjump or Yo-yo gadget that can break down walls.</p>

<p>A collection of levels for Quake. The add-on contains several independent single-player &amp; multi-players maps. There are windows &amp; DOS installers too.</p>

<p>This is an expansion pack to DID's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4478/ef-2000/">EF 2000</a> flight simulator. It includes a new mission and scenario editor, enhanced multiplayer options for LAN and internet play and many other additional features not included in the main program.</p>
<p>Other improvements over the original release include an enhanced camera AI control, new flight regions, new instrumentals (e.g. for fuel control, airspeed and altitude) and more detailed after flight summaries.</p>

<p>In 1992, a woman named Doralice was investigating a shipwreck when suddenly it started moving. Unable to understand what's going on, Doralice investigates the ship and eventually finds out that she was chosen by the Space Time Patrol to travel back in time, to the year 1840. It appears that a man from the 22th century named Jarlath Equs has obtained a sample of a highly powerful and enigmatic element known as Americium 1492, and traveled back in time in order to hide it together with other treasure on the island of St. Cristobald. Doralice mission is to stop Jarlath at all costs - even if that means endangering her own future existence, for she herself is the descendant of Jarlath's wife and her lover...</p>
<p><em>Lost in Time</em> is a puzzle-solving adventure game. Most of the gameplay is dedicated to exploring the surroundings and combining inventory items or using them with other objects to solve puzzles. The navigation and the manipulation of objects is performed from a first-person perspective. The game uses short video clips (sometimes with live actors) as graphical "comments" to the player's actions or as cutscenes.</p>

<p>This second part of the BAT series takes place in ROMA 2, the most important city of the planet Shedishan. The United Galaxies Organization has contacted the "Bureau of Astral Troubleshooters (BAT) in order to investigate the murder of a BAT agent named Sylvia Hatford who tried to uncover the businesses of a mysterious dealer of important raw materials. You are playing the second agent, Jehan Menais, now involved in the dangerous investigations.</p>
<p>The game itself is a mixture between graphics adventure, space combat simulator and strategy game. The adventure part is realized in a classic 2D point-and-click environment, the space combat can be best described as a small version of Firebird's <a href="/search/?q=Elite">Elite</a>, and the various small arcade games included can either be played in a strategic mode or an arcade mode where your reaction skills are required.</p>

<p>This is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3776/dragon-lore-the-legend-begins/">Dragon Lore: The Legend Begins</a>.</p>
<p>Once again you are playing Werner von Wallenrod who has been named Knight of the Dragon by the Dragon Prince at the end of part one of the series. Unfortunately a mysterious Lord from the Dragon Prince's company at table wants to prevent you from being named Knight of the Dragon. He claims that only Knights who own a personal guarding dragon can be chosen to wear the title of a Knight of the Dragon. As your dragon, the ancient Maracch vanished a long time ago, you now have to travel the land in order to uncover its disappearance and return with him to claim your rightful title.</p>
<p>The game features a completely rendered 3D landscape, more than 60 different NPCs, 10 tournament fighting sequences and more than 20 different types of battles during your journey around the kingdom.</p>

<p><em>P-ROBOTS</em> is a game based on computer programming in PASCAL. The concept and framework was inspired by C-ROBOTS (the same concept, except using the C language).</p>
<p>The object of the game is to design and program a robot that can triumph over similar robots designed and programmed by others in a real-time battle of wits and flying missiles. The player controls the robot by writing a procedure in PASCAL to specify the robot's behavior and strategy in its efforts to vanquish up to three other robots in a battle to the death. A variety of pre-defined P-ROBOTS PASCAL functions and procedures allow your robot to track its position on the battlefield, monitor its health or damage condition, and calculate the distance and angle to opponents from its current battlefield position.</p>
<p>Each robot is equipped with a cannon to fire missiles and a motorized drive mechanism to either close in for the kill of a hapless opponent or flee from a fierce foe. Optionally, robots may be equipped with bombs, a repair kit, different types of armor and warheads, a deflection shield, and/or a cloaking device.</p>

<p><em>The Cardinal of the Kremlin</em> is a global management simulation.</p>
<p>It is the time of the Cold War. An American ground reconnaissance satellite discovers a strange structure near the northern border to Afghanistan. It is identified as project "Bright Star" - the Soviet laser ICBM defense system, capable of destroying satellites and airplanes with a beam of energy. At the same time, the USA is busy developing their own SDI project, code name "Tea Clipper". And as the race for the deployment of a space-based laser defense system begins, KGB and CIA agents swarm out to infiltrate the laboratories. Among them: The United States' top spy in Moscow, the Cardinal of the Kremlin.</p>
<p>Based on the popular novel of the same name by US author Tom Clancy, <em>The Cardinal of the Kremlin</em> puts you in the position of US project leader. Your task is to build, test and deploy a network of laser defense satellites before the Russians manage to do so. In this time of crisis, however, all your actions are overshadowed by the threat of espionage and treachery. The scientists that you hire may be geniuses, but are they trustworthy? The more technology tests you schedule, the easier it is for Russian spies to steal your knowledge. If you tighten up security on the other hand, the overprotection will throttle research efficiency. As you race against time and an invisible enemy, the word "paranoia" gains a whole new quality.</p>
<p>Luckily, the counter-intelligence department is at your command, too. CIA agents in Moscow not only supply you with information on the Soviet project's progress, but also on KGB operations in the USA. How accurate the reports are, however, is for you to judge. You must also supply the Afghan warlords Archer with weapons and equipment, as only he can launch a desperate attack on the Bright Star base that will hopefully throw back the Soviet project for months. You conduct battles in a simple top-down action sequence.</p>

<p>A compilation of three Cold War-themed strategy games:
<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Digital+Integration">Digital Integration</a>/<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/9867/i-magic/">I-Magic's</a> helicopter sim <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Hind">Hind</a>, the naval wargame <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2447/harpoon-ii-admirals-edition/">Harpoon II: Admiral's Edition</a>, and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1178/quantum-quality-productions/">QQP's</a> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2645/perfect-general-ii/">Perfect General II</a>.</p>

<p><em>Malice: 23rd Century Ultraconversion for Quake</em> is a commercial mod of <a href="/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a>. While requiring a full, registered version of <em>Quake</em>, it acts like a stand-alone game, employing its own characters, weapons, environments, rules, etc. The player assumes the role of a mercenary named Damage, who works for the boss of an underground crime syndicate, Colonel Bossman. Damage's main mission is to assassinate the head of Takahiro Industries, Bossman's main rival. To do that, he has to venture into his heavily protected headquarters, dealing with security guards and robots on his way.</p>

<p>You are Chauncey, a serving lad who saves his monarch from choking on his meal. The King rewards you with his magical sword, Grimthwacker, and a village, and the mission to go forth and prosper by felling waves of Hordlings, who are bent on eating everything in the province.  The better you get at defending villagers, crops, and cows from Hordlings, the better equipped you become.  Success wins you further favor from the King, along with bigger challenges and more enmity from the evil High Chancellor.
There are several types of Hordlings, each with their peculiar style of picking through the edibles under your care.  Success is measured by how many villagers and crops survive each season's gluttonous attacks.</p>

<p>Based on a popular television show at the time it was released, Card Sharks is a question and answer guessing game in which you compete against a computer player or another "live person".</p>
<p>Questions are asked based upon a poll of 100 people. You must guess how many out of 100 answered Yes or No.  Your opponent then has the chance to guess whether the true answer is higher or lower than your answer.  If you are right, you are taken to the "Cards" screen to play a video version of the "High Low" card game. Guessing correctly lets you keep control of the board, and the next question.  If you lose, your opponent receives the next question.  If you win enough times, you'll go to the "Big Bucks" card screen where you can bet all or part of your winnings on a more elaborate board of "High Low".</p>

<p><em>The Incredible Hulk</em> is an isometric 3D action game.</p>
<p>The popular Marvel comic book hero <em>The Hulk</em> returns to the PC, Playstation and Saturn systems to battle tons of lowly enemies and the occasional monstrous super-villain. When the lawful Pantheon society of superheroes kidnaps the green giant, he joins forces with his abductors and smashes through 13+2 isometric 3D levels (in a look reminiscent of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5983/loaded/">Loaded</a> series of games).</p>
<p>True to the comic books, the Hulk relies on no other weapons than his massive muscles to punch, kick and crush his enemies. When he has accumulated enough gamma energy, he may use powerful special moves like a Vortex Spin or the Floor Hammer. Rare bonus items also allow the Hulk to summon one of the four Pantheon team members Atalanta, Ulysses, Ajax and Hector to assist in the thick of battle. </p>
<p>Most levels include at least one arch-enemy, such as Piecemeal, Trauma &amp; Lazarus or the U-Foes. Luckily, the Hulk’s regenerative powers allow him to regain health slowly. Little seems to be left of the Hulk’s legendary leaping capacity, however, so the green meat ball is forced to hop from platform to platform every now and then. </p>
<p>You can find more information on <em>The Incredible Hulk</em> comic books in the trivia and links sections.</p>

<p>Concentration was a popular game show in the mid-to-late 1980s, and this game was adapted from that television program.</p>
<p>Two players can play against each other, or one person can play against a computer generated opponent. The answer to the puzzle is hidden by tiles. The tiles have words denoting game prizes ("Mexico", "Camera", "Telescope", for example), and your object is to find the two matching worded tiles. Exposing two at a time, your memory is taxed as more prize tiles are revealed and then covered over again.  As more tiles are matched, the hidden puzzle is revealed. Solve the puzzle and you win the game.</p>

<p>This is the first Family Feud computer game based on the successful television game show. A few years later, Softie developed <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2006/the-all-new-family-feud/">The All New Family Feud</a> with more advanced graphics and music.</p>
<p>Two families compete against each other or against a computer family, 5 people per family. Just like in the tv show, there are 3 Rounds ending in a timed Bonus "Fast-Money" Round. Randomly generated questions are asked, and the object is to figure out the most popular answers from the 100 people poled. Each member of the family contributes during the Rounds, and two people play in the Bonus Round.</p>

<p>Don Phillip Gibson developed this Monopoly game on a Tandy 1000 computer in an effort to teach himself the Borland Turbo Pascal programming language.  Released as Shareware, the game can be played by 2 to 4 players and includes a Save Game feature.</p>
<p>Gibson's finished product incorporates all of the official rules of the Parker Brothers original game. The options and features are completely menu driven and are shown within various colored pop-up "windows" in text mode, reminiscent of the early Norton Batch Enhancer program. Selecting a letter from a menu invokes another menu. The only real graphic is the simple CGA board. </p>
<p>The dice move and make a rattling noise when "rolling" them during a turn. There are other occasional beeps within the game invoked by various selections.</p>

<p>This version of the classic board game supports several graphic formats and offers some different options. From 2 to 8 players can play the game, and they can all be computer players if you wish. This allows you to just sit back and watch as the computer takes over.  You can choose to play a short game with a specified time limit, or a standard game, and there is a save game feature.</p>
<p>All actions are handled entirely by keyboard. Questions appear in the center area of the board (for buying property, for instance). Pressing the first letter of a word from the top bar takes that action (Q for Quit as an example). Player stats can be viewed on the screen.</p>

<p>Mah Jongg is a solitaire tile-matching game first invented on the computer in 1981. It can best be described as a memory &amp; strategy puzzle game. The images on the tiles are from the 19th century Chinese game of Mah Jongg (a board game for four players).</p>
<p>One tile set comes standard with the unregistered version. Registered users receive special files making it possible to create their own tile sets and use other pre-designed ones.</p>

<p>This is a simple computerized version of the card game UNO, and incorporates the official rules from that game.  In this rendition, one player plays against a computer opponent, so it is essentially a solitaire game.</p>
<p>Complete instructions on playing the game are provided when you begin. Keyboard keys perform all actions - choosing cards from your hand, drawing from the pile, etc. The current card is in the center of the screen.</p>

<p>This game is an interactive adventure through the human body.  You can zoom down the spinal column, watch blood cells flow through veins, and climb down the brain all in the same day.  An interactive encyclopedia helps you understand different things relating to the human body that you might not know.  If that doesn't satisfy you, perhaps some of the games will.  Answer questions about the human body, germs, and health.  If you want a little action, try to save a ER patient by zooming through their body and fighting germs.</p>
<p>The whole thing comes wrapped up on a CD-ROM, or three floppy disks.</p>

<p>A merchant named Axel who is travelling at night, gets attacked by a werewolf and survives. But his near escape from death comes at a price, when he finds out he is cursed to turn into a werewolf himself. The curse must be removed before midnight, otherwise the transformation cannot be stopped. In order to do that, Axel must find the werewolf who bit him. The problem is that he doesn't know who that werewolf is. It could be any inhabitant of this quiet medieval town - and Axel is determined to find out which one it is.</p>
<p><em>Wolfsbane</em> is predominantly an adventure game, which plays for the most part similarly to point-and-click examples of the genre, despite the unusual side-scrolling perspective. The player must explore the town, talk to its inhabitants, and gather information and items in order to solve the mystery. The game utilizes a branching dialogue system. It also has action elements, present in the sporadic combat and a health meter for Axel.</p>

<p>Your favorite soccer team is in the third class, has no money and no future? Take the job as a manager and lead your team in the first division.</p>
<p><em>Bundesliga Manager Professional</em> is a managerial simulator of soccer. The game simulates the German Bundesliga (first, second and third division) and the German league cup (DFB-Pokal). The teams and players has real names (season 1990). </p>
<p>Up to 4 players can take part. You can transfer players, rise your stadium, deal for advertising, train your players. The tactics of your team can be set very individual on a small playing field. Also included are match graphics with 3D-animated goal chances.</p>
<p>Other features:</p>
<ul>
<li>36 different injuries</li>
<li>Newspaper reports after every match</li>
<li>5 different skills</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Bundesliga Manager Professional</em> is the second installment in the series.</p>

<p>Deserts cover the globe, cities are destroyed, the end of every civilization is near. The few survivors search for drinking water and food. They eat all they can find.</p>
<p>Like a Role-Playing-Game, you travel through the world and meet many computer-played characters. You want to rule the world. But there are other 3 characters with the same aim.</p>
<p>You spend the most game time looking at the map, which takes up several screens. The position of the 4 characters, their occupied conquests, the cities, and the health condition of your character are shown on the map. </p>
<p>The different settlements you can occupy are old factories, camping-grounds or ruins of old mega-cities. The five great cities are opened for all competitors and can’t be occupied. In these cities you cannot fight against your enemies. </p>
<p>Sometimes you meet a human for changing news, items or take them in your party. There are different classes of computer-characters: fighters, engineers or doctors for example. Every character of your party can carry up to 6 items (food, weapons). These items are produced by the settlements you control.</p>

<p><em>Nobunaga's Ambition II</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5825/nobunagas-ambition/">Nobunaga's Ambition</a>. The setting is 16th century feudal Japan, a period when ruthless <em>daimyo</em> (feudal lords) contended with each other for dominance. Ultimately, the winner in this struggle will become <em>Shogun</em> and hold actual power over the islands, while being nominally subject to the Emperor.</p>
<p>The game casts the player as one of the <em>daimyo</em>, allowing them freedom to decide the fate and future of feudal Japan, through diplomacy and ultimately war. The objective is to unify Japan under the player's rule. If the player fails through death on the battlefield, assassination at the hands of a ninja, or through natural causes, they can choose a successor and play on. Functionally, the first job is to let prosper the <em>fief</em> (province) under the player's control through agricultural development and town investment. </p>
<p>There are two scenarios available in the game: 
* <strong>Warlords: 1560 A.D.</strong>  </p>
<p>The first scenario begins as the <em>daimyo</em> prepare what will eventually become a full scale war in the whole of Japan. The <em>warring states period</em> begins here. There are 28 of them included in the scenario, among others: the Mori clan, the Takeda, the Hojo clan, the Uesugi clan, etc.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Nobunaga's Ambition: 1582 A.D.</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>The second scenario follows the rise of Oda Nobunaga in 1582 A.D. to power and allows the player to play either as Oda Nobunaga or as one of his chief allies or rivals.</p>
<p><strong>Samurai</strong>  </p>
<p>The game improves on its predecessor by including some 400 historical samurai in the game, providing the player with generals for troops and governors for a conquered <em>fief</em>. </p>
<p>Each samurai is characterized by statistics: Age, Rank, Body Points, War, Politics, Ambition, Charisma, and Loyalty. There are also additional attributes for specific military purposes: Skill, Arms Level, and Unit Type. Some of these attributes may be improved through training (i.e. war, politics, and skill), rewards (i.e. loyalty), or through merchants (i.e. arms level). </p>
<p><strong>Strategy</strong>  </p>
<p>The game is turn-based, with each turn representing one month. Certain events take place annually such as tax collecting (March) and rice harvest (September), while other events, such as invading neighbors, follows the player's time table.</p>
<p>The game uses an initiative system to determine what actions can be completed in a particular month. Each <em>daimyo</em> and samurai has a stock of "Body Points" that represent the attention he can afford to spend on an action. Each action has a cost in Body Points for the character executing it, and if he does not have the point’s necessary, he may not perform it. Body Points are refreshed a little each month. The level of Body Points refreshed per month is depends on the level of his Political skill. Intensive operations will deplete Body Points and then require turns of inaction to stock up again, so timing actions to coincide with Body Point availability is an extra wrinkle to the management of resources.</p>
<p>Each samurai can lead a 100-strong unit, which must be recruited, then trained, and equipped with weapons for battle. The attack of an army results in a tactical play out of the resulting battle or siege. A hex-based map of the area of the battlefield will form the playing board for the movement to combat and actual fighting. Fortifications (castles) have a dramatic benefit for the defender. The attacker must defeat the defender within 30 days or must force a withdrawal. Additionally, both sides must pay attention to their food provisions as each day subtracts food supplies in accordance to their army size.
<strong>Unit Types</strong>
The game introduces 3 basic military unit types: Infantry (Inf), Cavalry (Cav), and Rifles (Rif). Each unit type has certain special abilities and tactical advantages/disadvantages in combat:
+ <strong>Infantry</strong> have the ability to ambush anywhere on the main <em>fief</em> map (explained later) and have 4 movement points; 
+ <strong>Cavalry</strong> have the ability to charge at an enemy (inflicting considerable damage on both sides) with the chance of breaking through the defending unit and emerging on the other side. Samurai leaders may often be killed (instead of captured) if their unit reaches zero. Cavalry have 6 movement points; + <strong>Rifles</strong> may attack using muskets which have devastating offensive capabilities, which may also kill an enemy samurai unit if the opponent's unit reaches zero (thus, a standard non-rifle attack is also available for capturing an enemy samurai leader). Rifles have 3 movement points.</p>
<p>Additionally, both Infantry and Rifle units may move over walls or through water during the castle siege for a certain amount of movement points.</p>
<p><strong>Tactical Combat</strong>  </p>
<p>Tactical combat occurs in two different locations:</p>
<p>The first is the tactical map of the <em>fief</em>, where the attackers first arrive and the defenders surrounding the castle. In this setting, each days is divided into three time periods: morning, afternoon, and night, before the day ends. At night, armies may maneuver to surprise attack enemies in the dark, which does considerably more damage than an average attack. This may be done if the enemy is at least two squares away (not adjacent).</p>
<p>The second is the castle siege map, which occurs if the defender chooses to retreat to the castle from the previous map. Here, each turn represents one day, thus the time limit of the attack as well as the provisions of both sides, rapidly decrease with each turn. In this setting, the siege force must break down gates leading towards the castle for the final engagement. The defender is defeated, if the governor of the <em>fief</em> retreats, or if his unit is destroyed: resulting either in his capture or death.</p>
<p>The end outcome is either the fall of the <em>fief</em> to the attacking forces or victory for the defenders. Either way, captured samurai (if any) will require a prompt response for release, beheading, or recruitment to the winner's force.</p>

<p>The object of this Super Tetris game, as in others like it, is to turn and drop various shaped blocks into spaces in a box, filling up as many rows as possible before the top row is reached. Eliminate rows by filling up all of the empty space as quickly as possible to progress through the levels and get the highest score.</p>
<p>In this version, you can control how many different block shapes are available in your game. These are grouped in block sets - Standard has the typical number you are used to seeing in other Tetris games; Extended adds a few more to that; and Professional which provides a total of 15 different blocks.</p>
<p>After choosing a set, you will be asked which "zone" (screen) you wish to start playing. Unregistered players are limited to 10 zones, while the Registered release contains over 50 different screens</p>

<p>The events of <em>Targhan</em> take place in medieval times; the game's setting and gameplay are similar to those of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/199/golden-axe/">Golden Axe</a>. The plot involves a lone warrior traveling the land far and wide, killing all manner of beasts, with the end goal in mind to kill an evil lord who has gotten too big for his britches.</p>

<p>The speech in the introductory sequence probably sums things up best - "the biggest unanswered question is 'where is the money?"</p>
<p>The player has 4 missions to take on, in each case trying to kill baddies for the money they have, which can be spent in the shop rooms to upgrade their craft. Energy is depleted by contact with enemies and the walls, although there are some baddies who simply hover on your ship and steal, rather than physically doing damage.</p>
<p>The game is a shoot 'em up which scrolls both horizontally and vertically, while being viewed from an R-Type style sideways perspective. Navigating the levels sometimes requires the player to duck through gaps in scenery.</p>

<p>Los Angeles Lieutenant Mike Harrington is used to dealing with a drug war between Spanish and Jamaican drug gangs, but how he's caught up in the city's worst nightmare! The fearsome Predator species of alien has arrived, out to wreak serious destruction. It is your job to stop it.</p>
<p>The game is a crosshair shooter influenced by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3475/operation-wolf/">Operation Wolf</a>. The viewpoint is from slightly behind Harrington, while the game scrolls on as you clear each section. Mouse control is offered on 16-bit versions. Your armour must be kept functional by collecting top-ups, and there are weapon power-ups such as machine guns and rocket launchers to be had. You can't go in all-guns-blazing however, as killing a single innocent causes Harrington to lose his job.</p>

<p>The universe is at your fingertips in this interactive adventure through space.  Read about WWII rockets, eclipses, how humans might live in space colonies, and more.  Watch Voyager flybys, Apollo launches, former President John F. Kennedy challenge America to go to the moon, computer simulations, and other videos.  By clicking on objects on the screen, you can zoom to other topics on space.  Space Adventure even covers some science fiction, too!</p>
<p>The whole thing is like a really big encyclopedia covering, space, our solar system, space probes, aliens, and other stuff that a budding astronomer could want to know.  It also features Caltech's Tom McDonough and astronaut Buzz Aldrin.</p>
<p>Within the product there is a quiz with three levels of difficulty, 'The Space Adventure Challenge' however unlike most quizzes where the answer can be a single word or phrase this quiz is designed to send the player off into the product searching through the articles until they find a specific screen at which point the game says the search is over.
For each question the player accumulates points as they search but loses points if they take a hint or a short cut. </p>
<p>The title consists of video and audio clips, pictures and articles and there are lots of hidden hyperlinks within the text, i.e. the linked text is no different to any other text, allowing the player/user to select an article about Apollo, click on a link about going to the moon which brings up a screen showing the planned trajectory, see in the text that John F Kennedy started the ball rolling in 1969, click on the word 'John' to find all other people called John within the title etc. The more links followed the greater the score so, paradoxically, knowing the answer and going straight to it results in a lower score. As quizzes go this is just for fun, there is no scoreboard.</p>

<p>ABC Sports and Data East team up to take you to the gridiron! Strap on your helmet, put that black stuff under your eyes and prepare yourself for football, Frank Gifford style! Features AFB voice synthesis technology. </p>
<p>You can change receivers on the fly, throw maddening blitz plays at the QB, and stare blankly at the buxom cheerleaders. It all adds up the same.... it's football.</p>

<p>You star as half-robot operative Stryx. Dome City is under attack by KILLER CYBORG ASSASSINS! You navigate Stryx through numerous levels on foot, hovercrafts and some weird round eyeball-type flying craft. It's basic side scrolling action/arcade whackiness. This game was released for IBM PC, Amiga and Atari ST systems.</p>

<p>Conan the Cimmerian was living happily as a blacksmith with his wife in the village of Irskuld, Cimmeria...until one fateful day. A group of horsemen raided his village...Conan was knocked unconscious, awakening only to find his wife and his friends butchered in the aftermath. Conan discovers architect of the slaughter was a wizard named Thoth Amon, a high priest of Cult of Set. Sword in hand, vengeance aflame, Conan now travels south in the land of Hyborea to the city of Shadizar. Here his journey of vengeance begins...</p>
<p><em>Conan: The Cimmerian</em> is an action-adventure game with some RPG elements. The game is divided into 3 areas. The first is the overland map, where Conan may travel only between identifiable town and other locations. The second is the town map, here Conan is viewed in a horizontal 3rd Person and the last is the combat screen (or when he enters houses) where Conan is viewed in vertical 3rd Person. Conan may also view his character status and inventory sheet, anytime during the course of the game.</p>
<p>Gameplay consists of exploration and combat. The exploration element in the game sets Conan to find his way around towns and hidden locations, often breaking in houses and searching the premises for hidden loot. Towns consist of various places to visit, among others temples which usually offer quests, shops offering weapons and other items, and inns to stay for a health boost. NPC’s may be conversed with to seek information, while the tougher-looking types may be provoked into combat.</p>
<p>Combat is real-time, one-on-one with Conan on the left and the opponent on the right, consisting of only movement to the left or right and attacking. There are no defensive maneuvers. Both must now keep on attacking until the health bar of either side drops to zero. If Conan wins, he may search the remains and may find loot. At the beginning of the game, Conan may only use one sword style (swing) out of three available sword styles. Additional sword styles may be trained by a sword master.</p>

<p><em>Search for the Titanic</em> is an oceanographic simulation. You begin as an inexperienced oceanographer. You must build your reputation by exploring other lost vessels and earning the resources for a Titanic search. You plan, obtain funding, a ship, personnel, and equipment. Then chart a course and battle elements and dive for wrecks. Includes over 75 wrecks to explore, more than 100 navigational maps and charts and 47 ports of call. Find the Titanic and you will see real photos. Use simulated Sonar and underwater cameras.</p>

<p>Krusty the Clown's Fun House has been overrun by rats.  You must help him to herd the rats into trap machines to clear them out.  In order to do so, Krusty must manipulate his environment to set up pathways so that the rats are headed in the right direction.  Objects that Krusty move around include blocks, fans, and pipe pieces.</p>
<p>The trap machines are operated by other recognizable Simpsons characters:  Bart, Homer, Sideshow Mel, and Corporal Punishment.</p>

<p><em>Rings of Medusa</em> is a strategy game with light role-playing and business simulation elements. Located in a medieval kingdom, the game puts the player in control of the former king's son. Unfortunately, an evil sorceress called Medusa has taken control of the country and is now dominating the people.</p>
<p>The prince's task is to find five magical rings that will give him the power to overthrow the sorceress and claim back his heritage. In the beginning the hero will try to earn money by doing trade between different towns, or try his luck at bounty hunting or at treasure hunts. Once enough money has been earned to maintain a larger army, the prince will send forth his men to search for the rings which are in the possession of large soldier of fortune armies rallying the lands.</p>
<p>Sometimes the player takes part in small arcade sequences like sword fighting and sea fights, or controls an army on the battle field.</p>

<p>The 1997 Edition of the popular Links golf simulation. New features include higher resolution graphics (up to 1600x1200 in 16.7 million colors) with a new terrain rendering engine, and improved ball flight physics. Three new courses are featured, Latrobe Country Club, Kapalua Village Course, and the Kapalua Plantation course. Also included is a video tour of Latrobe Country Club, and a virtual reality tour of Arnold Palmer's office and workshop.</p>

<p><em>Tetris</em> is a computer adaptation of a mathematical puzzle game based on the concept of "pentominoes" - five equal squares joined together in various ways to make geometric shapes. Created by the Russian game designer <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/533681/alexey-l-pajitnov/">Alexey Pazhitnov</a>, it first appeared on Shareware BBSs in 1986 for the IBM PC. Many clones, variants, and enhanced versions have been released ever since.</p>
<p>The basic idea is to efficiently pack an empty box with variously shaped blocks (seven in this original version) that fall down into it. Fitting them together to complete lines (rows), use your keyboard to rotate, move and drop the blocks into position as they fall. When you succeed in completing a line (all empty spaces filled in it), the line (or row) disappears, making room for more. The faster you go, the higher your score. The speed in which the blocks appear and descend increases when you reach higher levels. The shapes of the blocks are random, so the game is different each time you play.</p>

<p>This point and click adventure takes a fantasy setting in which the player acts as a wizard called Ween, deemed to be "good", taking on a less good one. To fulfill the titular prophecy the wizard has been given a limited time of three days during which he must go on a quest, solving various puzzles along the way, to be rewarded with three grains of sand, that he must place in an hourglass what eventually will result in killing an evil wizard. Objects around the levels are always detected by the cursor, making each screen and the challenges quick to comprehend.</p>
<p>Like the company's <a href="/search/?q=Gobliins+Series">Gobliins Series</a>, the interface is simplified, and the game has a heavier focus on self-sufficient puzzles than other traditional adventures. The game experiments with the toning of the graphics, using a faux-sepia style outside and some bright colours inside, which changes the atmosphere somewhat. As one of not many titles of those days, two times during the game, the player makes a choice of taking one of the paths which results in different puzzles to be solved.</p>

<p>In this interactive poker game you meet in a park the beautiful female roller-skater, who is very interested in strip playing. During the game you come to night club, where the female shows her real body...</p>

<p>You're Bugs Bunny, the well-known hare from Warner Bros. animations.  Now you're trapped in some kind of tower. Run from one room to another, avoiding creatures, who are lethal to your hare health, and collect useful items.  If you're quick, you'll get away with this tower.</p>

<p>This flight simulator puts you in the cockpit of either the F-22 or the fictional F-29.</p>
<p>Choose from four campaigns with increasing difficulty: a training campaign in Arizona plus real war campaigns in the Pacific, the Middle East and in Europe.</p>
<p>Each campaign includes a variety of missions involving both dogfights and air-to-ground attacks.</p>

<p><em>Herrscher der Meere</em> ("Ruler of the Seas") is a traditional German business simulation. The player trades goods, explores ports or becomes a pirate. First the player needs to buy a ship out of five different ship types. Then some goods need to be acquired in order to become a trader. The game proceeds in real time and makes it possible to see other ships sailing on the map. In friendly ports the player can build factories to produce one of the sixteen types of goods. The battles are also in real time. Defeated enemy ships can – when not destroyed – be taken possession of.</p>

<p>In <em>Battle Arena Toshinden</em> eight world renown weapon fighters have been invited to a mysterious tournament. It is one of the first one-on-one beat-em-ups to feature the ability to sidestep a full 360 degrees around the opponent allowing one to strike from any angle. Aside from the 3D movement, <em>Toshinden's</em> game play can be considered similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9465/street-fighter/">Street Fighter</a>, but in 3d and with a little less depth to the moves.</p>
<p>Two versions of <em>Toshinden</em> were released; for the Sony PlayStation and later a lesser known version for DOS PC's. However the PC version is not a straight port of the PlayStation version and plays and looks notably different despite sharing the same characters, attacks and controls.</p>
<p>The U.S and E.U PlayStation versions of Toshinden feature redone voices in English and redone music using different instruments. </p>
<p>The lyrics on Sofia's stage music in the Japanese version, which were actually in English, were removed in the process, likely due to their suggestive nature. </p>
<p>Sofia's and Ellis' voices in the English translation are also notably adjusted, for presumably the same reason; while the other characters English voices generally match the tones of the original Japanese voice actors, Sofia is far less suggestive sounding, while Ellis sounds notably older.</p>
<p>The later DOS version of Toshinden however, uses the same audio as the Japanese PlayStation version in all regions, albeit recorded at a considerably lower quality than they were on PlayStation.</p>

<p><em>Street Fighter II</em> is a fighting game. Players select from one of eight characters: Ryu, Ken, Blanka, E. Honda, Zangief, Chun Li, Guile and Dhalsim to do battle with. They must then use their combat strengths to defeat the other seven fighters followed by four boss characters: M. Bison, Vega, Sagat and Balrog. Each character represents a certain country and has his or her own reasons for wanting to win against the others.</p>
<p>Each character has his or her own selection of basic fighting techniques based on three styles of punches and three styles of kicks. The effect of each of these changes depends on the characters orientation (ducking, airborne or standing still). <em>Street Fighter II</em> has a "button combination" style of gameplay used to unleash powerful moves specific to each character. These include the ability to project fireballs, channel electricity or capture the opponent in a tight suplex.</p>

<p>In this tank simulation game based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/367943/harold-coyle/">Harold Coyle's</a> book of the same name, <em>Team Yankee</em> is a squad of crack tank drivers and gunners. They are in the latest tanks, such as the well known Abrams M1, Bradley M2, T-72 and T-62, armed with lasers, machine guns and SABOTs. As Commander Sean Bannon, you must use these resources correctly in five missions ranging from defending a hill to attacking a centre through a forest.</p>
<p>The control interface of the game is somewhat unique as it features a four-way split screen with different control options in order to grant direct orders to four individual platoons of tanks. The game simulates instruments of war including thermal imaging in a detailed manner, as well as giving access to scrolling maps of the battlefield as combat unfolds.</p>

<p>Sequel to the 1990 bestseller game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6240/team-yankee/">Team Yankee</a>.</p>
<p>While using the same split screen interface as the predecessor, the game now features an enhanced graphics engine, showing the game world much more detailed as it has been shown in <em>Team Yankee</em>.</p>
<p>The game is still a mixture of a realistic tank simulation and a strategy wargame. Whereas the predecessor uses the story from the book, this game's story is fictional. A Soviet communist has occupied the Yama Yama Isles in the South Pacific which are an important strategic base in this area. You'll have to regain control of the islands in five missions.</p>

<p>Realms is a medieval real-time strategy game located in a fictive kingdom where the player just has been named king. Your kingdom is threatened by the surrounding realms of different rulers and it is your task to defend yourself and expand your own kingdom in order to become ruler of all realms.</p>
<p>The game features 125,000 square miles of fractally-generated landscape, 128 armies with many thousand members each. You can order your armies into different battle formations and conquer countless towns with their inhabitants and its gold treasures</p>

<p>This simple action game is based on the Hollywood movie <em>Arachnophobia</em>.</p>
<p>South American spiders have overrun a large area in some areas of the United States. It's your task to clean the infested farms, houses or public buildings by using an very effective pesticide called "Toxi-Max". One of the most useful devices your character can use is an arachno-detector indicating approaching vermin.
The player sprite is controlled from a side-view and basically only needs to use his toxic pesticide in time to defend himself from attacking spiders, just like a simple reaction game.</p>

<p>You and your squad are on their way back from R&amp;R in Saigon to your operations base when Viet Cong guerillas force your helicopter to crash land in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. It's now your responsibility to lead the remaining survivors to the nearest U.S. base, evading or facing an elusive and dangerous enemy on his own grounds.</p>
<p>Most of the time, you'll see a map of the country on the screen and navigate your men through the country. It's important to watch your men's health and morale by getting them food, water, ammo and letting them rest, etc. When reaching certain spots on the map, e.g. a native village, the game presents the current situation in a nice graphic scene. Sometimes you'll run into V.C. snipers, patrols, whole ambushes or encounter minefields. Then the game offers some small arcade sequences like firing your guns or fighting it out in desperate hand-to-hand combat. The progress of your party is accompanied by video sequences from the Vietnam War.</p>

<p>This is a remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6203/rings-of-medusa/">Rings of Medusa</a>. Basically identical to the original in gameplay, the remake offers enhanced graphics, hardware supported sound and an improved interface.</p>

<p><em>Scavengers of the Mutant World</em> is a role-playing game that focuses on the survivors of the Earth after an apparent apocalyptic event, where player-controlled characters must gather "vehicle" components (to make a car) so they can reach an unknown haven or place of refuge.</p>
<p>The game includes character generation and modification of skills and attributes (plus the character's face). It features party management, simple top-down turn-based combat style and randomly made map every time the player launches the game.</p>

<p>Although it is a side-scroller, arcade game in similar style to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/32/commander-keen-series/">Commander Keen Series</a>, there is a deeper plot and more true "adventure" elements in <em>Framed</em>. While you do have weapons and ammunition, there are ways to avoid shooting enemies altogether. Up to 16 inventory items can be held at one time and some can be combined to use to solve a situation or puzzle.</p>

The editor allows you to plot and synchronize attacks consisting of multiple flights of Tornados.</p>

<p>In this traditional graphic adventure Caesar has conquered the whole world and so you’re living in the Roman Empire in the 20th century. You’re Gaius Ludus. You’re working in a museum as a cleaning man.</p>
<p>But – something is wrong. In a Caesar statue you find a mysterious message from the future. So you know what to do – save the world! </p>
<p>First you joined the liberty party – then you have to find the time portal. With it you travel in the past (to Caesar) and in the future. Thus changes the present…but be careful!</p>

<p>This point n' click adventure game is actually an edutainment (entertainment leading to education) title developed by Sierra, who were also responsible for other games such as the <em>EcoQuest</em> and <em>Dr. Brain</em> series. The object of this game is to help a little girl called Pepper, solve puzzles based on history and logic, so that she can fix the mess caused by Dr. Fred's time machine. At certain points in the game, the player is even allowed to control her pet dog, Lockjaw.</p>
<p>The game consists of an educational factor where the player can learn about many important facts concerning the colonial times of the United States. It is divided into Acts in which the player has to reach given goals and, apart from other, typical for adventure games things, learn about facts listed in the opening. To do it the special TRUTH icon has to be used. When the act is concluded, the player is challenged with a quiz about the things he learned. For each correct answer he receives progress points.</p>
<p>Cartoonish graphics similar to the style in <em>Day of the Tentacle</em> were used in order to appeal to younger audiences.</p>

<p><em>Drachen von Laas</em> tells the story of two young friends who are bored with their everyday life in the medieval fantasy world of Laas. They decide to leave their little village and seek adventures. Adventures they find when they are asked to kill two mighty dragons that rampage the area of a far-away city.</p>
<p>This is a text/graphic adventure with a serious role-playing slant. Although still fashioned with a text parser etc, this game includes a character leveling system, character attributes, role-playing-like combat, a magic system and many other unique elements.</p>

<p><em>Masterblazer</em> is both a remake of and a follow-up to the Lucasfilm Games game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10471/ballblazer/">Ballblazer</a>.</p>
<p>Ballblazer is a futuristic sport played in vehicles called "Rotofoils". The play field is a large rectangle made out of squares. The object of the game is to get a ball called "Plasmorb" into the goal, which moves along the edge of the play field. Otherwise, the rules are simple: "Three minutes, two players, one victor!" The game is played in first-person on a split screen and can be played by either one or two players.</p>
<p>Compared to <em>Ballblazer</em>, <em>Masterblazer</em> offers two new playing options: a Tournament Mode and a Rotofoil Race.</p>

<p>Similar to <a href="/search/?q=Speedball+2">Speedball 2</a>, <em>Brutal Sports Football</em> is an ultra-violent sports game. Matches last 7 minutes, and the aim is to get the ball into the goal, kept by a net-minder. The oval ball can be thrown or kicked, this resulting in frequent up-and-under type kicks. </p>
<p>Violence is the pivotal element of gameplay: rather than rare occurrency, punching, stomping, use of weapons, and even decapitations are what the game action is rife with, and key to victory.
Bonus and non-bonus items appear on the pitch, such as bombs to throw at opponents, rabbits to speed up the current player, or tortoises which slow him down. </p>
<p>Teams are a total of eleven and consist of seven humans and aliens, some of whom have unique skills. There's a lot of blood and flailing limbs, giving things a gruesomely humorous edge. Victory is achieved not only by scoring more goals than the opponent team but also decapitating all the players of it but one. The player is offered choice among a single match, knockout cup, and leagues to advance trough (for a total of four of them).</p>

<p>Created using Chris Jones' Adventure Game Studio, this detective non-linear story with multiple endings uses an interface very similiar to Sierra's old point &amp; click adventure games. </p>
<p>In the year 2012 Jake McUrk, a 30 years old detective working for the Police Detective Agency, is put on a case that seems to be just another minor false alarm. All of sudden, Jake is thrown into a nightmare where danger lurks around every corner. During perilous investigation he finds out what exactly is going on in the city of Pleurghburg.</p>
<p>Very bloody, this game is not recommended for kids or even adults...</p>

<p>In this game the player controls Werner Mueller, working as a Sysop at the GIC Headqurters in Futura City. One night, heavy explosions wake him unpleasantly from his sleep. He steps outside to see what happened, only to find himself in the middle of a deadly fight...</p>
<p><em>Angst: Rhaz's Revenge</em> is a traditional first-person-shooter in the legacy of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Doom%3A+Evil+Unleashed">DOOM</a>: the player walks through the levels and uses ranged weapons to shoot at enemies. The game has a steampunk setting in the style of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/61309/jules-verne/">Jules Verne</a>.</p>

<p><em>Crime City</em> is a classical point-and-click adventure. You play Mr. White, a poor chap who writes detective stories but wants nothing more than to be a real private investigator. It's a pretty classical story: one day, he can't really write a thing, but then, a mysterious blonde stands before his door, telling him his Father, Henry White, was arrested for murder. It's up to you to prove the police wrong.</p>
<p>A difference to the classical adventure exists: you need money to travel, get information or training. To get money, you can trade at the stock market. What's also different is that the time of the day really matters and that the protagonist becomes sleepy after staying up too long.</p>

<p><em>Total Meltdown</em> comes with 500 all-new levels for <a href="/search/?q=Duke3D">Duke Nukem 3D</a>, new textures, animations, sounds and characters are also included. In contrast to most other commercial add-ons each level has been carefully tested and rated.</p>
<p>This compilation is not to be confused with the PlayStation release of Duke Nukem 3D, which is also called <a href="/search/?q=Duke+Nukem:+Total+Meltdown">Total Meltdown</a>.</p>

<p><em>Windsurf Willy</em> offers 1 or 2 player windsurfing action at 3 different skill levels. You're the contestant in 15 different locations, in which you must show 4 judges your skills, from speed to trick-surfing as you ride those waves. Points are awarded based how artistic the technique was. Judging the flow of the waves, and avoiding wreckage and other hazards, is crucial to maximising the score.</p>

<p><em>Nuke It 1000</em> contains a 1000 add-on levels (500 of them are multiplayer) for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/365/duke-nukem-3d/">Duke Nukem 3D</a> as well as cheat codes &amp; hints, tutorials for making your own levels and a game launcher.</p>

<p>In the desert town Vertic, werewolves, vampires, mummies and zombies appear suddenly, feasting on the population until only a ghost town of undead is left. Two ordinary citizens team up with two professional monster hunters to cleanse the town of evil. Sharon, Charlie, Susan Leicester and Abraham Van Halen must fight their way through monsters and eventually defeat the overlord of each species, ending the invasion.</p>
<p><em>Lords of Doom</em> is a hybrid game that incorporates elements of adventure and role-playing. The player controls the party of characters from a first-person view, navigating a pseudo-3D town. The adventure gameplay manifests itself in exploration of individual locations, interaction with objects, and the use of items to solve puzzles. Role-playing elements are present in party management and character statistics. Each character has, beside hitpoints, thirst and hunger meters, so that the player has to "feed" the characters regularly in order for them to stay alive. Combat is done in real time.</p>

<p>In a medieval fantasy world, strange drugs appear that create an addiction among the population. It appears that they are all coming from one central point that is controlled by a mysterious stranger. The player controls a group of heroes in this role-playing game as he tries to find out the origins of the drug and to break down on the man who is responsible for them.</p>
<p><em>Spirit of Adventure</em> allows the player to create his/her own party, choosing between various character classes, including traditional fighters and priests, but also less common classes such as Goddess or Banshee. Characters have three main parameters; body, mind, and magic, as well as strength, dexterity, IQ, and charisma. Controlling a party of up to six combatants, the player has to accept quests, explore towns, and battle enemies to advance the story.</p>

<p>Crime Time is a more or less classical 3rd person point-and-click adventure, with the major difference that you don't click on the graphics, but on controls below the graphics. Actions are done by clicking on words, as is movement.</p>
<p>The story is a classical mystery setting: two friends go hitchhiking, and since it's raining so bad, they rest in a small hotel. One of the two starts to drink till he's totally out of control. He stumbles into the wrong room, gets knocked out and wakes up next to a corpse. Now, you have to prove you didn't do anything.</p>

<p>Crown is a jump and run game. The goal is to travel trough six different countries to finally become king. The game is non-linear, so the player can choose which country he wants to go to. </p>
<p>The levels are pretty different: in England, you need to control a knight on his horse. You need to jump over all hurdles and collect all 80 shields to complete the level. In Scandinavia, you control a Viking on his boat. Here you need to collect treasure chests and avoid the whales crossing your way. In Russia, you play a Russian bear who needs to imitate the dance of a girl next to him. If he succeeds, the bystanders will give him money. In Japan, you control a small dragon which needs to jump from island to island. On his way, he needs to collect 80% of the stuff floating around or he will starve to death. In India, the small Indian boy needs to walk over the bridge, avoiding the flying bananas (?) and catch 8 mice. And finally, in Arabia, you control a dude on a flying carpet who needs to catch at least 50% of the flying lamps to stay on his carpet.</p>

<p><em>Hill Street Blues</em> is a top-down action / strategy mix.</p>
<p>“Let’s be careful out there!”</p>
<p>Based on the ‘80s TV drama series <em>Hill Street Blues</em>, this game puts you in the role of Captain Furillo of the Hill Street police department. Crime rates are soaring in the precinct, and it’s up to your team of nine officers (all well-known from the series and with digitized portraits) to keep the streets safe.</p>
<p>Your officers move on foot or by car on a 2D top-down map of the city, complete with real-time traffic. True to the series, each day starts with a roll call from Sgt. Esterhaus. Once on duty, listen to radio operator A.J. Hill report crimes every few minutes. Deploy officers to the scene, help the victim and call an ambulance or coroner; next, identify and find the suspect. Some criminals may flee, others even shoot at you. Give chase or open fire if necessary. When the bad guy is arrested, a court trial may follow.</p>
<p><em>Hill Street Blues</em> is controlled entirely with the mouse via a set of icons – that’s everything but intuitive, especially when directing a single officer through the streets. Since there will soon be multiple crimes all over the city, the challenge is to co-ordinate multiple officers simultaneously and keep track of cases and suspects. If your success rate is high enough, you will ultimately be promoted to chief of police.</p>

<p><em>Isle of the Dead</em> is a mixture between a first-person shooter and a traditional point-and-click adventure game. While walking through a level in a FPS mode you can examine certain areas closer and the game switches to adventure mode. The shooter part is visually and technically similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=wolfenstein+3d">Wolfenstein 3D</a>. The player controls an apparently sole survivor of a crash, stranded on a tropical island in the South Pacific. The hero must hunt for survival items, weapons and a way to get off the island. Hideous zombies, vicious wolves and other horrors await him.</p>

<p>This expansion disk comes on 3.5 floppys and adds digitized speech like the voices of your commander or your fellow pilots to Metaltech: Earthsiege. The Speech Pack works only with the 3.5 floppy version of the game. The CD Version of Metaltech: Earthsiege already has this feature.</p>

<p>Zombies have taken over the world and as a commander of Special Forces it's your mission to rescue humanity. 
<em>Last Rites</em> is a mission-based game resembling <a href="/search/?q=DOOM">DOOM</a> and settled in the future providing you an arsenal of hi-tech weapons. The game's 3D-Engine is on <em>DOOM</em> level and has the ability to create large outside and inside levels.
One special thing about Ocean Software's game is that in at least half the missions you have a team of four other commandos with you, who give you covering fire and help you fight the zombies.
The game was only released in Europe.</p>

<p><em>Nerves of Steel</em> is set in the near future of South East Asia. From a secret underground complex called the Iron Triangle, the evil regime of Kim Dung Moon is on a sinister campaign to "purify" the world. You are a Tunnel Rat, an elite Special Forces ultra modern digital warrior and it's your task to stop Dung before he gains world control.</p>
<p>Your arsenal of weapons including shotguns, assault rifles and machine guns will help you succeed against the lethal guards and monsters crossing your way. The game is level-based and uses the same graphic routine as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4041/the-fortress-of-dr-radiaki/">The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki</a>. It also supports multiplayer.</p>

<p><em>Q2</em> is a collection of levels for <a href="/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a>. The add-on contains over 100 independent singleplayer and multiplayer maps.</p>

<p>The game is based on an 1870 novel by Jules Verne.</p>
<p>On July 5th, 1867 the government decided to launch the famous ship the "Abraham Lincoln", which left on the trail of a sea monster. The great French professor Mr. Arronax took part in the expedition. The weeks passed without any sign of the monster's presence in the area, when, one day, 300 miles from the shores of Queen Charlotte's Island... three members of the expedition set out on board the Nautilus, a submarine navigated by Captain Nemo. The player takes Arronax's role to find out more.</p>
<p>Most of the game is spent on the Nautilus, which consists of three rooms: the living room, the control room, and the library. There the player can manipulate objects and talk to people to receive hints on what to do next and the state of the Nautilus. With the map, he influences the route. Sometimes the player leaves the submarine to explore other locations, and respectively solves puzzles to receive more hints or to solve action sequences, e.g., fighting against a shark. </p>
<p>The game is played in real-time, which means the key to success is being in the right location at the right time. This also results in various possibilities to render the game unwinnable and causes waiting times. For the same reason, the player also needs to watch Nemo's mood.  If they anger Nemo, e.g., by manipulating the ship instruments, he locks the player into their room and valuable time passes. The game is played completely in point &amp; click and has no function to save progress.</p>

<p>In the 35th century, mankind developed almost god-like technology to create Cyborg slaves - machines so shrewd they were almost human. In time, the Cyborgs waged war against man to control the earth. After emerging victorious, mankind banished the Cyborgs to a distant star system via a transdimensional teleporter. It's now 500 years later, and the Cyborgs are planning a massive offensive against mother Earth.
You are Rex Blade, part human, part Cyborg, and mankind's last hope. Your mission is to teleport yourself to the Cyborg world and eradicate all life there, before they can destroy earth. A massive arsenal of powerful futuristic weapons will help you succeed. The graphics and the level design are similar to the ones seen in Rise of the Triad, however more futuristic. One really special thing about this game is REX++. This is a programming language within the game, that let's you develop your own programs and games within Rex Blade itself helping you strengthen your abilities and reflexes.</p>
<p>The game itself consists of 3 different episodes:</p>
<p>Rex Blade - The Battle Begins,
Rex Blade - The Battle Rages on
and Rex Blade - The Final Encounter.</p>
<p>Xtreme Games originally planned to release each of those episodes separately, making the game a trilogy. However only the first episode,  Rex Blade - The Battle Begins, was released as planned by Xtreme Games and Simon&amp;Schuster. After deciding not to release the other two episodes, all three of them were combined and sold as Rex Blade: The Apocalypse.
Later, Xtreme Games published the game itself and changed the title to Domination, still including all three episodes.</p>

<p>The year 2010: computer-viruses have penetrated the network of the world's most important mega-computer. Everything, from food and energy supply over climate and traffic is depending on this machine. The only chance for humanity to survive is you, a Cyberpilot. You are controlling a virtual virus killer, the Skaphander, flying through 15 different Descent-like levels, hunting down the viruses. The graphics are similar to those in Doom, only more futuristic as a result of the fact you're flying through a computer network.
The game was only released in Germany.</p>

<p>You are Shuji Yamagami, a sixteen-year-old Japanese boy, and this is your first day at the Kotobuki Preparatory School, where most of the student are already eighteen or older. It's not easy to be a new student, and it is also not easy to make a closer acquaintance with one of the many attractive girls who study together with you...</p>
<p><em>Seasons of Sakura</em> is a manga/hentai interactive story, which can hardly be called "adventure" due to a complete lack of puzzles or other challenges. The story proceeds as you go to different places, meet different characters and talk to them. The gameplay and the interface are quite similar to those of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=652823202019">Three Sister's Story</a>, developed by the same company. There are several options at each screen, including "think" option. The view is 1st person perspective, with still pictures of locations and characters (mostly girls ;)) Needless to say there are many explicit erotic scenes in the game.</p>

<p>The <em>Terminator 2029 - Deluxe CD Edition</em> includes the complete original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3303/the-terminator-2029/">The Terminator 2029</a> as well as its mission disk <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8781/the-terminator-2029-operation-scour/">Operation Scour</a>, making a total of 34 missions. This compilation also adds over 330MB of mission briefings and character speech to the game and several award-winning pieces of music during game play.</p>

<p>As in ages past, the shadow of a great evil falls across your homeland. In a trial that marks the passing of an age, a champion must once again take up the legendary Thor's Hammer to quell the encroaching darkness.</p>
<p><em>Thor's Hammer</em> consists of three episodes: The Trial, The Journey and The Battle. The game has a medieval background and so are the weapons and items you find: axes, spells and armor. The game plays like a first person shooter with very light RPG elements; you have for example to interact with NPCs to gather information and get advice from them. Each episode consists of one large level with an automap feature.</p>

<p>Germany, November 9th 1989: The Berlin Wall has fallen. Now it is up to the player to organize and manage the "Aufschwung Ost" (German for "Upturn East" in reference to Eastern Germany, the former GDR) in this political business sim. Gameplay takes place on two scales: A large scale (East Germany) for power plants, highways and other infrastructure and a smaller, SimCity-like city-scale for specific buildings. Besides the historic "East Germany - 1989" scenario there six more, each with different problems (high pollution, national debt,...). None of them has a "goal" though so the game goes on forever (unless you decide to resign or you're kicked out of office due to bad work).</p>

<p>In <em>Gloria</em>, the player controls a British exchange student with a good reputation in an American university, soon employed by a famous millionaire who wants the player to be a tutor for his daughters. He has five of them, all living in a beautiful mansion. Now it's up to the player to <em>educate</em> them... </p>
<p>The game is a standard Japanese-style adventure. The player interacts with the environments by selecting text commands from a menu. There are no puzzles, but occasional choices made by the player, which might influence subsequent events. The game has 45 possible endings.</p>

<p><em>King's Quest: Quest for the Crown</em> is a remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/122/kings-quest/">King's Quest</a> using <a href="/search/?q=Chris+Jones">Chris Jones'</a> Adventure Game Studio engine. Unlike Sierra's own earlier <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/439/roberta-williams-kings-quest-i-quest-for-the-crown/">remake</a> of the same game, this version features VGA graphics, an icon-based point-and-click interface, voices (optional) and MP3 music (optional).</p>
<p>In 2009 AGD Interactive released King's Quest I VGA 4.0, which can be considered a remake of their original 2001 remake. It contains the following enhancements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Newly enhanced game backgrounds and character dialog portraits</li>
<li>A new "no dead-ends" gameplay mode (optional) to ensure that the game can be completed from any point</li>
<li>Full narrator speech and lip-syncing for all characters</li>
<li>Windows Vista support</li>
<li>Native Ogg Theora movies, which means in-game cutscenes and movies will now play in Linux and PC emulations under Macs</li>
<li>Full digital speech and music tracks are now included as part of the download rather than being separate downloads</li>
</ul>

<p>True to the aircraft’s flexibility, you pilot the F-16 in assignments as diverse as dogfights, bombing raids or reconnaissance missions. It is up to you to plan your flight route by setting waypoints on the tactical map prior to take-off; you can also (but need not) select the armament of your plane. When you have accumulated enough flight experience, you may command entire squadrons in the fictional Operation Conquest campaign, a simple simulation of an entire war theater that already hinted at what would later become DI’s Virtual Battlefield.</p>
<p><em>F-16 Combat Pilot</em> allows multiplayer duels via modem or serial link.</p>

<p>You take the role of Mark Hopper, an ordinary teenager who gets hired by the RGB intelligence (he was selected by a fortune teller) to solve the mystery of gold disappearing from the Mega Bank. But first you're sent to the RGB training camp where you'll have to pass the three trials!</p>
<p><em>Teenagent</em> is a humorous point-and-click adventure, originally available as shareware, but the DOS version was later re-released as freeware. You control Mark Hopper with a mouse - click on where you want him to go, left-click on objects and people to look at them, and right-click on them to interact with them. By moving the cursor to the top of the screen, you bring up your inventory. </p>
<p><em>(Note: the game isn't connected in any way to the 1991 movie Teen Agent.)</em></p>

<p>The <em>Spear of Destiny Super CD Pack</em> comes with the original <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D:+Spear+of+Destiny">Spear of Destiny</a>, its two mission packs <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4554/mission-2-return-to-danger-accessory-game-for-spear-of-destiny/">Mission 2: Return to Danger</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4555/mission-3-ultimate-challenge-accessory-game-for-spear-of-destiny/">Mission 3: Ultimate Challenge</a> and a Random Level Generator. Hint Books for all three game titles are also included.</p>

<p>Pole Position is another German sports-business simulation. But you’re not manager of a Soccer team – you manage a Formula 1 Team! Therefore Ascaron has licensed the Teams and Drivers from the 1995 Championship.</p>
<p>At the beginning you can choose an existing Team like Ferrari or Williams or build up your own Team. First of all you have to choose your drivers. The have all individual skills and prices. Michael Schumacher for example is in 1995 a good (not an excellent) but expensive driver. You have to sign up also some other team members – mechanics, race-manager and the pit-crew. Next you have to negotiate with the support companies. Tires, engine, gearing – all these things you need for your race-car. You also need some sponsors – you can also negotiate with these guys.</p>
<p>At the racing weekend you have to adjust your car to the track. The race was presented in a nice TV-oriented 3D graphic. At this time you can only keep your fingers crossed.</p>

<p><em>Anacreon: Reconstruction 4021</em> is an ASCII space strategy game in where you play (obviously) as the supreme leader of a galactic empire struggling for global dominance. It contains the common elements of 4X strategy, including planet management and development, exploration, tech research and war.</p>
<p>The game contains several scenarios (although you can design your own with a text editor) that present the general background of the game (number of players, number of turns and difficulty). Each map is randomly generated, and wins the player with the highest score when reaching the turn maximum.</p>
<p>Colonies cannot be created. Instead, there are independent planets that must be conquered in order to add them to your empire. Colony management is almost automatic, as there are no facilities (apart from certain orbital platforms) to build and resources are used and divided by the computer. The different types of ships and troops are also automatically built in planets equipped with the necessary tech. Tech is discovered linearly as you progress, but each planet has a tech level (that also advances automatically when in an empire) that determines what can be constructed there. You can, however, establish the general purpose of a colony (agricultural, military outpost, raw material mine…) and freely transport resources and troops between colonies, and you must pay attention to several statistics (efficiency, warehouses, type of planet…).</p>
<p>As there is no diplomacy (except a message system for multiplayer), Anacreon plays mainly as a game about war and conquest.</p>

<p><em>Space Marines</em> is a tactical strategy game in the tradition of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5812/battle-isle/">Battle Isle</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/27914/nectaris/">Nectaris</a>. In the 50 missions of the game you have to play against up to 3 opponents. The story plays in the 3rd Millennium and is shown by Full Motion Videos.</p>
<p>The game has about 50 different weapon systems. You can upgrade your units and take them to next mission. The game knows also friendly fire.</p>

<p><em>Final Assault</em> is a mountain climbing action/simulation game. The object of the game is to climb to the peak of a mountain via several different trails of varying difficulty. Progress is made in a fashion similar to that used in Epyx 'games' series, with alternating joystick movements. To help out, you carry a backpack which you may stock with assorted items. Since there is a weight limit, you must choose which items you most likely will need for a given trail. For example, an exceptionally long trail may require camping gear and some additional food, where as a short trail will allow for some more luxuries such as extra rope.</p>

<p>A single classical-style pinball table is provided in this simulation. A table editor is also provided —    this allows you to choose a shape for the table and arrange the component parts as you wish. Up to four players can take it in turns, each with five balls in turn. </p>
<p>Unusually, the default table has multiple flippers at the bottom of the table, as well as some located higher up. Use them to return a ball higher on table and to prevent it being lost at the bottom of the table. Hitting some valuable areas of the table gives you a bonus. Gain as many points as possible to rack up a high score.</p>

<p><em>Dunkle Schatten</em> is a point-and-click adventure in the typical <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/72/lucasfilm-games/">LucasArts</a> style. It was distributed for free by the German Federal Ministry of the Interior as a "countermeasure" against violence and anti-semitism. </p>
<p>In this adventure, you play as Karsten, a teenager who helps creating a youth centre so the local youth stays off the street and doesn't do things they shouldn't do. But that's easier than thought - there's much disturbance by a local gang of Neonazis.</p>
<p>The game wants to show that violence is not an option and every conflict can be solved peacefully.</p>

<p><em>Dunkle Schatten 2: Im Netzwerk gefangen.</em> (Dark Shadows 2: Trapped in the network) is the sequel to the adventure <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6463/dunkle-schatten/">Dunkle Schatten</a>, also published by the German Federal Ministry of Interior as part of the FAIRSTÄNDNIS campaign against racism and violence, and bundled together with the first part.</p>

<p><em>The Journey to the West</em> is a side-scrolling beat'em up game. </p>
<p>It is based on an ancient Chinese novel of the same name in which a Buddhist monk, Xuanzang travels westwards to retrieve sacred texts, on his journey he is accompanied by three protectors. This is depicted in the title screen. Consequently in the game there are three characters to choose from of predominantly animal fighters who are going for a pilgrimage to India, as described in the novel. In single-player mode each marches from left to right across a scrolling background with devils of various kinds to defeat along the way. The game has three levels of difficulty: Easy, Middle and Hard. The player has three lives with which to score as high as possible. </p>
<p>The game has some English words in the configuration section, 'General Midi'; 'Soundblaster' etc but all other text is in Chinese (Traditional), there is no option to use any other language. This is a game for one or two players, it can be played by two players sharing a keyboard but a gamepad is also supported. There is in-game music but a scoreboard was not observed.</p>

<p><em>Turrican II: The Final Fight</em> is a platformer/shooter as typically seen on consoles, but designed for home computers from the ground up.</p>
<p>Its plot is - naturally - very simple: an evil mega-robot called <em>The Machine</em> attacks the United Planets Ship Avalon 1, slaughtering all who resist. All - except Bren McGuire, who manages to escape and slips into the experimental Turrican bionic armor. As Turrican, he strives to show The Machine who's the boss.</p>
<p>Unlike other games of its type, this game contains three levels of horizontal shooter action in the spirit of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5960/r-type/">R-Type</a> or the developers' own <a href="/search/?q=Katakis">Katakis</a>. Six large worlds are to be explored, where you are basically free to go everywhere you want, since there is no automatic scrolling and the levels are packed with hidden extra lives and weapons. All those levels are very different: the first one in the rock desert is pretty colorful with parallaxing rainbow background and happy music, while the following worlds get darker and darker.</p>
<p>Turrican can get some different weapons for his arm cannon:</p>
<ul>
<li>The bounce weapon which rebounds from surfaces into smaller bouncing balls when powered up;</li>
<li>The laser, which can shoots beams as large as Turrican himself when maxed out;</li>
<li>the multiple shot beam, which can shoot up to five beams covering approximately a 90 degree angle.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Turrican suit weaponry is not limited to the arm cannon however:</p>
<ul>
<li>He also can fire a continuous beam, activated by holding the fire button. This beam can be rotated around Turrican, so it is possible to blast things <em>below</em> him in this way;</li>
<li>Additionally, he can fire power lines by pressing the space bar, resulting in two energy bars as high as the screen going from the Turrican suit to the left and right of the screen, severely damaging enemies in the process;</li>
<li>If the space bar is pressed when the hero is crouching, the Turrican will morph into a shuriken shape. In this state, it will roll to the left or the right, damaging enemies while being invincible and small bombs can be dropped by pressing the fire button;</li>
<li>Finally, the most powerful attack, which can only be used one time per life, can be delivered by pressing the fire button and the space bar at the same time. The Turrican suit will morph into a shuriken shape and fly around the screen for several seconds, while firing shots of the different weapons in multiple directions.</li>
</ul>

But there's a rumour about the last owner of the house. They say he was a sort of mad scientist, and that night all his creations are going to awaken.</p>
<p>The premise from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6440/manic-miner/">Manic Miner</a> (collect objects and evade guardians and obstacles) is still present, but now rooms are not linear (you have to explore the mansion), and there is no time limit.</p>

<p>Initially, you have no weapons, and contact with the nasties costs you energy, but a Yo-Yo can be collected, which can be used not only to kill enemies, but also to smash blocks away and open up paths, and even (with practice) tied to a ledge to allow you to swing across a gap. </p>
<p>Throughout the levels, you will find the letters B,O,N,U,S, and G released from bonus balloons or on killing an enemy - if at the end of a level your letters spell out Bonus or Bogus you go to the appropriate extra level. The former has a chance to gain extra lives, the latter must be escaped quickly to avoid losing a life.</p>

<p>This almost sounds like a happy, idyllic round of pick-the-flowers, if it weren't for the truckload of tanks and destroyers that each players happens to have in the cargo area of his mothership. So the players usually spend an equal amount of time picking up ore and bashing their contenders' heads in. </p>
<p>The computer game is an accurate conversion of the board game; virtually every feature is present. Strategy is needed to succeed in the game.

<p>In this game you are the pilot of a battle helicopter of the Federal Armed Forces (Deutsche Bundeswehr) to fly search and rescue (SAR) missions and supporting missions in countries abroad. The perspective and gameplay slightly resemble that of similar games from the period, such as <a href="/search/?q=Electronic+Arts">Electronic Arts'</a> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/63749/strike/">Strike</a> series.</p>
<p>In the beginning the player gets to choose a copilot. You may choose between a male and female copilot. If you chose the woman, the game will tell you that women can't become pilots, thus essentially forcing you to go with a man. This reflects the laws of the time, when women were not able to serve in such roles in the Federal Armed Forces. This has been changed in mid-nineties and is not relevant for gameplay.</p>
<p>The player can chose his helicopter from the BO 105, the Bell UH-1 D an the Sea King MK 4. Nearly every mission can be accomplished with each of them.</p>
<p>After a short briefing the player is in control of his helicopter to save civilians from accidents, flood and provides them with dropping food packets and sand bags on broken dikes. There are no fighting missions in the game.</p>

<p>The gameplay of <em>The Humans</em> has similarities to <a href="/search/?q=Lode+Runner">Lode Runner</a> and <a href="/search/?q=lemmings">Lemmings</a>.

Each level in the game will have a given task to help in this, and you are allotted a number of characters who must accomplish the task. The player can switch from person to person while moving the characters around each scrolling puzzle, and teamwork is essential to success. </p>
<p>Tasks can include finding objects (like a spear) on the screen, or trying to reach a specific destination which may require the use of objects you have discovered so far. Each level has a time limit, when time runs out the level can be restarted.</p>

<p>The Tom Cruise film featured an F-14 Tomcat plane, and this licensed game recreates this. Viewed from the cockpit in full 3D, the game is a straight head-to-head duel, against another player or the computer. You are armed with missiles (while put you in control of a small target zone, which must remain over your opponent for 3 seconds), flares and cannons (which overheat when overused)- use these more wisely than your opponent. Pay attention to speed and altitude too. The computer has 3 planes to throw at you, of which the last is the toughest, while each player in a 2-player game also has 3 'lives'.</p>

<p><em>Batman: The Caped Crusader</em> is a combination of an arcade and adventure game. The game is played with a side scrolling view, with each new location opening in a new panel similar to the appearance of a comic book. </p>

<p><em>Hired Guns</em> is an action RPG using square-based movements, à la <a href="/search/?q=Dungeon+Master">Dungeon Master</a>, in which up to four players can take part and set in a futuristic setting. The screen is split into 4 parts (or 3 in case 3 players play together), each one representing the viewpoint of the characters, these being selected from a team of 12 available mercenaries.</p>
<p>If one player plays alone, he will control all 4 characters, using the mouse to navigate between each character viewpoints. A follow mode is available to avoid tedious numerous amounts of clicking when moving several characters. If two players play together, then each player will use a mouse to control two characters.</p>
<p>In three or four-player mode, players can freely choose to control their characters via either a joystick/joypad or some of the predefined keyboard layouts or a mouse. When 4 people play together, the screen will display 4 viewpoints, like in 1 and 2-player modes. In 3-player mode, the top of the screen displays two viewpoints for player 1 and 2, but the lower part of the screen displays a single viewpoint, centered, for player 3.</p>
<p>Three game modes are available.  </p>
<p>The Training mode features 5 simple maps on which the player(s) can learn how to move, use inventory items etc...</p>
<p>The Full Campaign mode takes the player(s) to the far reaches of the Luyten planetary system, on the planet Graveyard.

To this end, they have to make their way through the different missions and gather 4 fusion power core rings, before entering the final mission in the Spaceport.</p>
<p>Finally, in Short Action game mode, the player(s) can choose between 17 maps. On those maps, the player(s) will have to fight some enemies to reach the exit within a specified time limit. Additionally, when more than one player takes part in the mission, players will compete with each other since only the first to reach the exit will win.</p>

<p><em>The Moon of Chromos</em> is the second add-on (or "Data Disk") for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5812/battle-isle/">Battle Isle</a>. 
Like the original game, it keeps the same split-screen turn-based strategy formula where the goal is to capture the opponent's headquarters or destroy all their units in order to win on several hex-grid based maps, but, as the title implies, takes the conflict to Chromos' moon and brings some new units to the table.</p>

<p>Christmas Carnage was developed for the Computer'94 Fair in Cologne and is a typical 1st person shooter game, meaning that you walk around and fire at everything in your path. It is based on VR-6 3D Engine, previously used in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3800/the-hidden-below/">The Hidden Below</a>.</p>

<p>The evil Nemesis has discovered how to use Time Gates and has trapped you once again down in the catacombs, preventing you from stopping him. He has the ability to send you back and forth through time where you have to challenge creatures from the very ends of eternity. </p>
<p>The final installment in the Catacomb series, <em>Terror of the Catacombs</em> is very similar to the previous games, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/410/the-catacomb-abyss/">The Catacomb Abyss</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5892/curse-of-the-catacombs/">Curse of the Catacombs</a>. </p>
<p>Once again, you're a mage whose quest is to destroy the evil Nemesis. Just like in the previous installments, you can throw fireballs at your foes or use them to destroy certain walls. You can find bolts and nukes which allow more powerful attacks, healing potions, scrolls and keys. You can also find gems which allow you to see approaching enemies on your radar. </p>
<p>The new levels and enemies often have a decidedly science-fiction feel to them; you'll battle robots and wander around computer cores.</p>

<p><em>Super Stardust</em> is an <a href="/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a> clone in which you control your Panther PX-2 ship through successive waves of asteroids and other enemies, which are drawn using ray-tracing techniques. The game is polished version of its predecessor - <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13043/stardust/">Stardust</a>. Its general gameplay and general ideas remained basically the same but there are some further modifications that made the game a little bit more difficult.</p>
<p>As before there are 30 standard levels split into 5 worlds. Levels can be completed in any order however, you must fight an end-of-level guardian once you have finished the sixth level of a world. At each level, there are standard disintegrating rocks to destroy. Their colour defines their endurance: greys are the easiest to be destroyed while yellows are the hardest. In most of the levels, there are also other enemy ships but there are also some alliance forces providing us with new types of weapons or missiles. In comparison to "Stardust", the occurrence of smaller level bosses is a bit different - the tougher ones appear sooner and the placement of the levels within the worlds was also slightly changed.</p>
<p>Worlds are linked by 4 tunnel levels, which involve shooting or avoiding everything that comes your way. The important change is the introduction of tunnel guardians which has to be defeated in order to complete the section. There are also power-ups during your flight across the tunnel. Two Special Missions made in a "Thrust"-style bonus levels were made a little bit easier mostly due to getting rid of the fuel element and bearing in mind that the game is more difficult, finding the extra lives really serves its purpose.</p>
<p>The game was released also for machines with AGA chipsets. CD32 version contains special in-game cut scenes between worlds and music played directly from audio tracks.</p>

<p>In the sequel new troubles in ElectroCorp have begun. As we remember, this corporation made robots for civilian jobs, but one Supervisor decided to make robot-killers. Human brains were implanted on some of them. But this time, one hacker has infected the ElectroCorp's network with a virus, so Supervisor lost control over robots and they began to kill each other. You are one of them.</p>

<p>Almost all of the graphics are digitized and Aerosmith themselves are too! There are also lots of fmv videos. </p>

<p><em>Blue Angels: Formation Flight Squadron</em> is an F/A-18 flight simulator, with a focus on Air Shows. The Blue Angels are the United States' Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, known for tight maneuvers and precision flying. The game attempts to replicate this by offering formation flying, having to react and coordinate with other Blue Angels in the air.</p>
<p>The player can practice any maneuver in the simulator: dozens of high, low and flat maneuvers, Diamond 360 passes, left rolls and 4-point rolls or an entire air show for example. Other than practice events, the player can perform an air show or just go for a free flight. In the air, players fly from a 1st person perspective inside the plane or a 3rd person perspective from a chase plane behind the player. Additionally there are 4 different camera views and 3 different gameplay speeds. After the flight, an analysis is displayed of the flight and the player's performance graded.</p>

<p>The first in the Warlords series. Basically, your mission is world domination. This may be played between up to 8 people all on the same machine. It is a medieval type strategy game that requires the player to control 80 cities in the realm of Illuria. In order to do so you must wipe out your 7 opponents. </p>
<p>Gold is accrued through the ownership of cities. The gold is then used to create armies. Heroes can sometimes "find" things or be rewarded by sages (there are only 2 and it's a first come first served basis). You can choose between various human and non-human peoples, as well as the ubiquitous evil Warlord. This is a very early version of what strategy games eventually became.</p>

<p>In this Korean-made cartoony arcade platformer, the player gets to control Shakii the wolf (who happens to look more like a fox). Shakii was the ruler of the peaceful kingdom of Shake until the evil, almost invincible Lion Warrior called Midnight Sword appeared, plunging the land of Shake into an abyss of chaos and darkness. Now, it is up to Shakii to gather his powers and prepare for a final showdown with Midnight Sword.</p>
<p><em>Shakii the Wolf</em> focuses mainly on platform jumping and melee fighting, with the protagonist using his fists and special moves to defeat the foes. Shakii has to traverse seven stages on the way to reclaiming his throne, each protected by a mid- and end-level boss. There is no password or save feature in the game.</p>

<p>PHM Pegasus is a combination simulation and action game. You control a naval hydrofoil missile boat, and need to complete a variety of different missions. Some of the missions include destroying all enemy vessels in a given area, surveillance requiring you to identify the location of enemy ships (without sinking them!), or to escort a supply ship through hostile territory. As missions are successfully completed you earn points based on how successful the mission was, and with increasing points you can advance in rank, from deck mopper up to admiral. Your performance on one mission won't have an affect on future ones, and you can choose to play missions out of order as well.  Several missions include other craft you can control to help out (both ships and helicopters). A time compression mode is included, which can be used to reduce the amount of time waiting to arrive at a destination, or even left on to make the action sequences more challenging.</p>

<p>In this game you are overlynx, ancient inhabitant of Earth and Atlantis. Your race is a very peaceful and very wise in all Galaxy and you know how to live in harmony with nature. But on the planet Danedola some aliens by manipulating DNA created new race - humans, whose goal was simple: exterminate the overlynxes and infest the Earth.

But instead of simulating hydrofoils you can now command a complete fleet of war ships into several missions. These missions are related to political events that were of interest when the first version of the game was released in 1987. </p>
<p>As captain of the fleet you can switch between different ships of your fleet and even command helicopters to support your mission.</p>

<p><em>FlipOut!</em> is a puzzle game starring aliens from the planet Phrohmaj. Your objective in each puzzle is simple: you must place all the colored tiles into the correct spaces on the board. The tricky part is that there is always one more tile than there are spaces. That means you are always juggling at least one tile in the air. The game becomes more difficult as you have to juggle more tiles, and the Phrohmajians try to interfere.</p>
<p>This game features nine bizarre areas, each with multiple puzzles. The graphics feature a lot of crazy animation of the Phrohmaj onlookers and lots of bright and colorful tiles.</p>

<p><a href="/search/?q=Digital+Illusions">Digital Illusions</a> was not involved in the fourth title in <a href="/search/?q=21st+Century">21st Century</a>'s pinball series, with this version instead being developed by veteran pinball game producers <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/32551/spidersoft/">Spidersoft</a>. </p>

<p>In <em>Alien Cabal</em>, aliens have invaded Earth. Now it is the player's responsibility to move through the levels and shoot everything which moves.</p>
<p>This is a 2,5D shooter played from a first-person perspective. The basic goal of every level is to reach the exit - however, there are two main obstacles on the way: closed passages (can be opened by finding key cards or pressing switches) and enemies which have to be disposed of with weapon force (pistol, shotgun, machine gun, grenades and bazooka). When opponents manage to shoot the player, some life energy is lost and as soon as it reaches zero, the game is over. Besides key cards, there are other useful items lying around the levels which can be picked up to stock up health, armor or ammo.</p>
<p>The player always aims directly in the middle of the screen. To shoot enemies, it is required to line up the shot not only horizontally, but also vertically when enemies are on a different plain. When finishing a level, a rating is awarded based on enemies killed, destroyed objects, found secret areas and picked up items.</p>

<p><em>Stunt Driver</em> allows the player to control a '60s Mustang car and take on three different opponents in a virtually unlimited amount of courses (thanks to the included course editor). The player's driving style must be adjusted according to the opponent's behavior. Drawbridges, loops, banked curves, hills and oil slicks are there to impede the player-controlled car's progress. The game also features a replay camera complete with custom camera placement.</p>

<p>The aim of the game is to guide a ball through 50 levels of walls, barriers and general obstacles. You control a bat, which must 'serve' the ball into play, and then follow it through the level, deflecting it before it falls behind you, as this costs you one of your 4 lives. Initially the obstacles are all static, but moving barriers add timing, reactions and luck to proceedings.</p>
<p>There are also several bonus objects, which are collected by passing through them. These include an L for an extra ball and dual rectangles to give you a second bat which moves around at random.</p>

<p><em>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles</em> is an action game based on the late eighties/early nineties cartoon series of the same name. Play as Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello and Raphael (one turtle only, but the ability to swap between turtles at any time) as you save your friends and battle The Shredder and his cronies. There are no 'lives', as such - when you lose a turtle, he becomes 'captured', and you cannot use him again until you rescue him from a place hidden in the overworld.</p>
<p>Gameplay takes place in two perspectives: a top-down view, which lets you run around and explore buildings, sewers and other places. When entering places from the top-down view, the perspective shifts to a side-scrolling view, where most of the battling takes place. In addition to each turtle's main weapon, sub-weapons (such as shuriken) can be acquired, to use at foes - these have a limited use.</p>

<p>This interactive fiction game is based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/4151/roger-zelazny/">Roger Zelazny</a>'s fantasy novels Nine Princes In Amber (1970) and The Guns of Avalon (1972).</p>
<p>The game begins with you as Prince Corwin forced to compete against your eight scheming noble brothers and sisters for the throne of Amber at the center of the one true world. Corwin must travel across the dimensions to this fascinating realm and from there rally forces against those who would oppose him. Unfortunately, things do not always proceed as planned.</p>
<p>When you wake up, you know little of this, as you have been knocked unconscious and pummeled with drugs. All you have is the address of your scheming sister.</p>
<p>The game is largely based around interaction with other characters, and can end in 40 different ways depending on how these work.</p>

<p>A simple platform game. However, this game is ONLY playable with 2 people. There is no single player - But let me tell you, this game is genius. The basic idea is to throw your enemy's spaceman into the gloppy pile of marshmallow at the bottom of the level. Weapons such as pistols, mines and invisibility are used to create a unique multiplayer experience.</p>

<p>Terrorists have overrun an embassy and hold the people inside as hostages. You control six counter-terrorists whose mission is to eliminate the terrorists. In the first part of the game, you have to bring three men into position so they can snipe the building.

Depending on how well you positioned your snipers, you can use them to assist you on that mission.</p>

<p>This game is a compilation of four different arcade games with common idea - US operation in Middle East. First-person shooting, chasing the truck by tank or defending the base from the air force are the missions, which must be completed by you to show your experience in arcade playing.</p>

<p>Carrier Command was one of the first real-time strategy games.</p>
<p>You control an advanced cybernetic aircraft carrier complete with fighters, amphibious assault vehicles, laser defenses, and a fleet of decoy drones.  Your mission is to build a series of resource, factory, and defensive bases spanning an island chain.  The only problem?  At the other end of the chain is an even more advanced carrier under the control of a terrorist organization with the same mission.</p>
<p>As you move around the islands you must decide what facilities to build and where they will best support your advance.  Resource islands provide materials that factory islands can use to build weapons and vehicles to replace your combat losses but both will be quickly overrun if the enemy attacks them while you are not present.  You also have to ensure that your stockpiles of equipment are stored safely until you can find time to launch a resupply drone to bring them to your carrier.</p>
<p>From your carrier, you can take first-person control of your attack aircraft and amphibious tanks and use them to assault enemy islands or even the enemy carrier itself if you're lucky enough to find it.  The weapon payloads on your vehicles are completely configurable based on your needs.  An island invasion may require launching a virus bomb that will take over the enemy command systems or just blasting the base with a wire-guided surface to surface missile.</p>
<p>Ultimately, you have to find and destroy the enemy carrier but, doing so will require a solid supply infrastructure and a strategy for depriving your opponent of his.</p>

<p>This is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4788/kingdom-the-far-reaches/">Kingdom: The Far Reaches</a>.

<p>This is an adventure from the makers of Dragon's Lair. The plot isn't exactly original or complex, but the animation is fluid and well-drawn. Gameplay is about using the right item or making the correct choice between the animated sequences; some of these choices are timed, meaning that you can lose health or even die, but there are plenty of opportunities to replenish your health. Of special note is the ever-present Disney-like music.</p>

<p>This is a simple 2D action game where you must travel through mazes, kill pumpkins and collect candles. Its fame comes from a newsgroup running joke about a (at the time non-existing) game that would be a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Doom">Doom</a> killer, but could not generate enough hype due to its horrible sounding name. Reportedly, the developers wrote it in 48 hours to capitalize on the joke.</p>

Several modes of gameplay are featured, including  regular classic, reality mode (oil locations are more randomized at the beginning of the game, and costs are supposed to more closely resemble those in real life), and customized modes. Included with the game is a game board with a 50x40 grid of the landscapes you can drill in, and dozens of game pieces to keep track of which locations belong to a player and where oil has (or has not) been discovered. This makes Oil Barons resemble a board game, but with a computer to do the bookkeeping and add a random element instead of dice.</p>

<p><em>Cool Croc Twins</em> is a platform game where, as one of the cool crocodile twins Punk and Funk, you try to reach the beautiful crocodile girl. </p>
<p>To do so, you'll have to complete over 60 levels. Each level is made of a bunch of thin, floating platforms. When you approach the edge of a platform, you do not fall off - rather, you begin walking upside-down on the other side! Instead of jumping, you "reverse the gravity" of your croc, causing him to fall up or down until he lands on a platform. </p>
<p>You goal on each level is to light up all the bulbs by bumping them with your head. If you hit the bulb three times it will be completely lit up. Some bulbs are invisible on higher levels. There are also foes who want to stop you and who sabotage your efforts by bumping into the bulbs you've lit, turning them off. Your foes can walk on both sides of the platforms just as you and can jump from platform to platform just as you, so watch out! </p>
<p>The game can be played by 2 players, so if you are Funk then your friend is Punk and you can challenge each other in scores.</p>

<p><em>After Burner II</em> is an updated re-release of After Burner. Besides extra levels, a few new enemies, a few touches at the soundtrack and more disposable missiles, the biggest addition is the ability to slow down or speed up manually. The rest of the gameplay remains identical.</p>
<p>Despite being called <i>After Burner</i>, most ports to home computers and consoles are based on this version. The NES, Amiga and Commodore 64 received two different ports with significant technical differences. This entry documents the original ports and the second ones can be found under the following entries: <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId,80920/">NES</a> and <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId,80921/">Amiga / C64</a>.</p>

<p>This is a parody of the Sierra-style games like Space Quest, King's Quest, etc. Similar interface, sounds, and graphics. </p>
<p>This is a small game that'll make people who have played the Sierra games laugh, although I don't think anybody else will understand the point. Probably R-Rated because of not-so-subtle sexual content. Can be finished quickly.</p>

<p><em>Arnie 2</em> is an isometric action game. Although it's obvious to which Hollywood actor the game's name alludes, <em>Arnie 2</em> is not a licensed title and not based on any movie.</p>
<p>It is the sequel to the Amiga / C64 platform game <a href="/search/?q=Arnie">Arnie</a> (1992). Unlike the previous title it has been developed in-house by <a href="/search/?q=Zeppelin">Zeppelin</a></p>
<p>Fast reflexes and a lust for violence are required for success here. Your average muscleman shoots and bombs his way through four enemy-infested territories: Shut down a chemical plant by blowing up enough pipeline valves. Clear an airfield from enemy soldiers, tanks and helicopters. Climb from battleship to battleship in a hostile harbor. And finally, rescue as many prisoners as possible from a jungle POW camp.</p>
<p>Naturally, the levels are crawling with enemies: from simple infantry armed with rifles, mortars or rocket launchers to MG teams, missile batteries and tanks. Most of the opponents are stationary and stolidly fire in a single direction; however, foxholes spew out cannon-fodder at a constant rate. To destroy such nests or efficiently dispatch groups of soldiers, Arnie has a (limited) supply of grenades. Some deceased foes drop more powerful weapons as well as invaluable first aid kits and extra lives.</p>

<p>This baseball simulation from Micro Sports Incorporated has all the standard features one expects to find including league play, team management, detailed statistics, drafts, trades, and accurately modeled stadiums.  It bears the official seal of Major League Baseball and includes the full rosters for the 1991 season (along with a long abandoned download function for annual updates).  Pro League also uses Real Sound audio (for those who have not yet bought one of them newfangled Sound Blaster thingies).</p>

<p>Before the days of the real-time strategy game such as the <a href="/search/?q=WarCraft">WarCraft</a> series, there was <em>Medieval Warriors,</em> which is a turn-based fantasy strategy game that looks like an early prototype of the RTS genre. It was itself an updated version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/62323/teleepic/">TeleEpic</a> with enemy AI implemented so that it could be played alone.</p>
<p>In <em>Medieval Warriors,</em> you control either the Blue team or the Red team, each with twelve warriors. There are four maps, or battlefield terrains, where the battles take place, and each of them presents different obstacles and challenges. For instance, in "Frontier Outpost," teams are placed in separate forts divided by a forest and a pond; in "Castle Keep," however, it is just a maze of rooms and hallways.</p>
<p>Each of the twelve warriors are distinct with their own stats, such as move range and hit points, and they can also equip different weapons, such as a bow or a sword. They even have their own names. Strategic decisions such as the formation of your party as well as their position on the terrain must be made to take advantage of their strengths and protect their weaknesses. You must also be able to determine which weapon to use, and since weapons are expendable, you have to be careful not to waste anything. </p>
<p>While you can choose to play against a computer opponent, you can also play against a human player over a modem.</p>

<p>Bowser, the token bad guy from the Mario Bros. series, is up to no good again in this educational game designed to teach children geography. This time he's set up his headquarters in Antarctica and created portals to 25 famous cities around the world, so that his Koopas can wreak havoc in our own world. He's also kidnapped Mario, hence the title of this game. You play as Luigi who must foil Bowser's plans by entering through each of the portals, tracking down the Koopas who have stolen famous artifacts, and looking for clues about your location. Once you've set everything right and determined where you are, you call Yoshi on your Globulator so he can track you down. You need Yoshi's help to eat the Pokey (a cactus-like creature) that's guarding the return portal, and when Luigi returns he can close the portal forever.</p>
<p>By exploring these 25 cities, children can familiarize themselves with the landmarks and artifacts that each city has.

<p><em>ESPN Extreme Games</em> lets the player access three modes of play: Exhibition, New Season or a continuation of a season. Exhibition mode helps the player get to know the courses and equipment as well as get a feel for the controls. New season offers the player the chance to race against sixteen other competitors on any of the four racing machines competing for season points as well as money to upgrade equipment.</p>
<p>Choose between roller blades, a luge (basically a sit-down skateboard), a mountain bike, and the skateboard. The player can also determine which character they want to race with, each one having a unique skill on one of the apparatus. For example one might be top-notch at roller blading but be bad at bike-riding so there is no point choosing the bike with him/her. In a season, the player competes in the five locations - three times, twelve in all and each time the obstacles become more and more tricky to avoid as well as the other racers becoming faster and more agile. </p>
<p>The tracks are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Italy - Country roads leading down to a town area; </li>
<li>Lake Tahoe - Twisting roads and strategically placed haystacks;</li>
<li>South America - Lots of caves and thin jungle roads; </li>

<p>The game is in essence the same as the former game - an isometric 3D RPG. It is now set in an "Eastern" environment but once again you take control of the four characters (Barbarian, Runemaster, Assassin and Troubadour), as you're required to solve puzzles and conquer dungeons. Again you can encounter hostile armies on the plains as well, but the landscape has changed.</p>
<p>A new feature allows you to import your characters from the original game, with all their gold, weapons and level enhancements, although you can generate them from the start again.</p>

<p>In this game you are private investigator Tom Scool.  You have been hired by a dishonest jewel collector to sneak into a famous actress' chalet, posing as the double of well-known thriller writer Eric Wells, and to steal her precious gem "Vesnú". But the actress was killed by one of her guests and because of snowstorm you have to wait for police and try to solve this murder case by yourself. Every character has their own personality and you have to find their weakest places, talking to all of them and collecting the items which are available for your inventory.</p>
<p>The game supports English and Italian languages.</p>

<p><em>Rocket Lander</em> is a conversion of the arcade game <em>Lunar Lander</em>. The object of the game is to land a space craft on the landing pad while avoiding the mountainous terrain. This is accomplished by adjusting the thrust and tilting the rocket left or right so your rate of descent is slow enough to land safely. The rocket crashes if the rate of descent is too fast, or the misses the landing pad. After reaching 100 points, advanced mode begins which features more difficult terrain.</p>

<p>In <em>XWing Fighter</em> you need to pilot an X Wing aircraft in an attack on the Death Star, re-enacting the scene from the first <em>Star Wars</em> movie. There is a small unshielded exhaust port which you must hit directly with a torpedo. As you approach the death star numerous imperial fighters and Darth Vader himself will try to stop you. Your fighter is equipped with lasers to fight the imperial fighters and Darth Vader, and three torpedoes to use against the death star. The mission fails if you miss the death star with all three torpedoes or are destroyed by a fighter.</p>

<p>A horror adventure from Horrosoft. 
Your father is the pastor of your village. A strange letter from him made you decide to return to your village, only to find out your father is no where to be found, and everyone is being hostile and strange.
After a while you will find out evil forces have taken over the people of the village and your job is to find out how to kill some devil creatures ( like a vampire ) and figure out what truly is going on.</p>

<p><em>Superfrog</em> is a traditional jump &amp; run platformer. You are a frog that once was a prince but was turned into the amphibious creature by an evil witch. Your loved one was kidnapped and you have to free her from witch's castle. Your enemies are animals like bees, snakes, hedgehogs, turtles or snails but later on you may find other beings like knights, mummies, robots or even your evil selves depending on the scenery you are in. Basically you have no weapons but in the game you may find small blobs that can be shoot diagonally up or horizontally to exterminate some foes. Some enemies can also be killed by jumping on them. Every stage has a time limit. In this limit you have to collect a pre-determined number of coins as well as other collectibles like cherries and apples that serve as a factor for a bonus score. There are also other power-ups like wings giving you the possibility to fly on a longer distance, slow pills and speed pills which, accordingly, slow you down or give you extra speed.</p>
<p>The game is divided into six worlds: forest, castle, circus, pyramid, winter and space. Each of the worlds consists of four stages. Between levels you may gamble your bonus score in the slot machine where you can win more points, extra lives or level password which can be used to access the level from the main menu. After completing the fifth world you will be able to take part in the bonus stage called "Project F" (made on a resemblance to <em>Project X</em> - another Team 17 game) which is a link between terrestrial and extraterrestrial worlds. After the game is completed or you just failed to do it, you can type your name into a high score table that can be saved onto the blank disk of your own.</p>

<p>This game is a re-creation, using ASCII characters, of the 1976 <a href="/search/?q=Bally+Midway+Manufacturing+Co.">Midway</a> coin-op game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/31303/sea-wolf/">Sea Wolf</a>.</p>
<p>In Seawolf you are the captain of a submarine trying to stop an enemy fleet of ships. You have one minute to try and destroy as many PT boats, submarines, and oil tankers as possible. The torpedo sight is at the bottom of the screen and you can fire one torpedo at a time at the enemy ships which zip past at the top of the screen at varying speeds. Seawolf is in 80 column text mode and uses ASCII characters for its "graphics".</p>

<p>April O'Neil, the reporter friend of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is kidnapped by the villainous Shredder and his two goons, Bebop and Rocksteady. The four ninja turtles: Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello and Leonardo fight their way through hordes of Foot Soldiers in order to rescue April. They battle familiar foes such as the mad scientist Baxter Stockman, General Traag from Dimension X and the evil alien brain Krang, up to the final showdown with Shredder himself.</p>
<p><em>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles</em> is an arcade game made by Konami during the height of the cartoon series' popularity. Depending on the version of the game, up to two, three or four players can take part in the action. The game plays like a simplified <a href="/search/?q=031719198832">Double Dragon</a>. While most of the standard Foot Soldier enemies are easily dispatched, some attack with knives or ray guns and are thus more dangerous. At the end of each level, players encounter a boss (or in certain cases two bosses working in tandem, such as Bebop and Rocksteady).</p>
<p>The NES version of the game, renamed <em>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game</em> in the West, features additional content not present in other versions of the game: two new levels (Snowy Central Park and The Dojo), new bosses (including Tora, Shogun and Baxter Stockman as a fly), additional music tracks as well as more variations of Foot Soldiers.</p>

<p><em>Noctis</em> is a game that is very similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/802/frontier-elite-ii/">Frontier: Elite II</a> and its sequel, but it is also very different at the same time. While the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/124/elite-series/">Frontier series</a> is focused on combat and trading, <em>Noctis</em> is more geared towards space exploration. Considering that <em>Noctis</em> seems to have been conceptualized and designed by a single person, the results of the effort exerted into the creation of this game is nothing short of impressive.</p>
<p>In <em>Noctis</em>, there is no sentient life in the galaxy you are set to explore. Even your own race has disappeared, only leaving behind a small fleet of manned scout ships whose mission is to catalog and explore all the stars in the galaxy. You, of course, control one of these scout ships.</p>
<p>You can travel to any star you want to, at any time, provided you have enough fuel (as in <a href="/search/?q=Elite">Elite</a> and the <em>Frontier</em> series of games). There are 11 different types of stars that you will see in this galaxy, and each star system out of the possible MILLIONS that you can visit have their own unique system of planets and moons, which you can land on and explore most of the time (landing is handled by a method that is similar to the landing system in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/115/starflight/">Starflight</a>). The star types range from S00 class stars, which are similar to our sun, to S11 stars, which are highly radioactive pulsars. You can label the stars and planets in most of these systems with any name you can think of, provided it's not a real star or planet name from our galaxy, or if the name hasn't already been taken by another explorer.</p>
<p>When I say "taken by another explorer", I mean that you can upload the names of the planets and stars you've explored, and also upload any notes you've taken regarding the explored celestial objects to the official website, which will then get released in a download that will also contain notes from other explorers. You can read their notes about the planets and stars they've discovered once you integrate the information into your copy of <em>Noctis</em>.</p>
<p><em>Noctis</em> is a game that is played in real-time and has a persistent universe.</p>

<p>This soccer game lets you choose a team representing one of twenty-four countries around the world to participate in the World Championship tournament, which is identical to the real 1990 World Cup.</p>
<p>Once you pick your team you can also select which players you want on the field, so that you can round out the team's strengths and weaknesses. Also provided are modes for single exhibition matches, either against the computer or against a friend.</p>
<p>The action is viewed from above with large player sprites. Violent play is encouraged as there are no free kicks. The gameplay is rather simple: you can only control the player closest to the ball, and many soccer rules (such as penalty flags and offsides) are missing.</p>

<p>In this racing game, the players get to race in police cars instead of the usual racing cars driven by speed freaks (like in the <a href="/search/?q=Crazy+Cars">Crazy Cars</a> series). Break the law instead of upholding it, while racing through the streets of San Francisco (Cisco for short, hence the name). Take in the Golden gate Bridge, China Town and the Twin Peaks.</p>
<p>Avoid collisions with trams, other cars (driven by annoying citizens), buildings and road blockades etc., while trying to reach the next checkpoint before the time runs out! Use your horn to alert other road-users of your presence.</p>

<p>In <em>Sea Rogue</em> you assume command of a five person treasure hunting team that searches possible underwater sites for sunken treasure and artifacts. Sea Rogue allows the player to train the crew for different roles, for example divers that search the wreck while trying to stay out of the way of sharks, scientists that conduct research and examine historical artifacts and engineers that take care of the mechanical operation of your ship or submarine. Real-life shipwrecks are present in the game, including the <em>Titanic</em>. Of course, you have a rival for most of the game who is known as 'Evil Eddy' - the richest man in the world - and the goal of the game is to beat Eddy by becoming rich enough to purchase the ultimate submarine: the Sea Rogue.</p>

<p>Five levels of horizontally-scrolling shooting await in this <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5960/r-type/">R-Type</a> style action game. The attack waves vary in style, with some attacking you from quite fiendish angles.</p>
<p>These give off blue power-up tokens, which are used towards selecting one of many weapons. There are 4 front-firing options (guns, plasma, magma and laser-beams - guns can be built up quickly but lack top-end power compared to the others) as well as speed-up (only requires one token), side-shot, up to 3 homing missiles, build (a quick super-destructive blast that only functions when you aren't using auto-fire) and stealth (a period of invulnerability).</p>
<p>Each level has a very different setting, and an end-of-level boss to defeat. The chance to resume from the level you died at is offered up to level 3.</p>
<p>Unusually, the game has an option to emulate an auto-fire function using software (this makes it one of the few Amiga shoot 'em ups you can hope to get as far through on an emulator on keyboard as on joystick on the real thing).</p>

<p>Global Conquest is a board game of world domination by Dan Bunten.</p>
<p>The goal of the game is to explore and dominate the world - which is inhabited by natives - before the other three players do so. You can play against computer players, or play your friends through modem link.</p>
<p>You take control of 'pieces', such as infantry, submarines, battleships and aircraft carriers. There are also special units, such as the spy who can slow unit production and steal secrets from opposing teams. You control your army through the "ComCen" or Command Center, analogous to the King in chess - if you lose your ComCen, you're out of the game.</p>
<p>Gameplay is turn based with the player managing different aspects of their kingdom each turn, such as the economics of their cities (called 'Burbs'), their army, airforce and navy, any battles that are progressing, espionage tactics, treaties and alliances and random events. Random events are picked through a 'card' system, a card being selected every five turns. Drought, plague, taxpayer revolt, pope visits and battle fatigue are a sample of the many random events that can occur over the duration of the game.</p>

<p>A 3D snooker simulator. The table and cue can be turned through almost any angle, with shot strength and spin as required too. An on-screen dotted white line shows the path of your ball, including the next bounce.</p>
<p>There is also a "trick-shot" mode, allowing you to recreate classic snooker trick shots (well, not the one with the basket. Or with the cues lying on the table. Or the one with the girl lying on her back with the pink ball in her mouth. But you know).</p>
<p>And if you dawdle too long, the balls pull faces at you. Honest!</p>

<p>First person adventure game playing in a dark future (year 2356) on Earth. The planet was struck by an asteroid infested by insects that spread a deadly disease over the planet. Soon after mankind was totally extinguished on Earth a few remaining scientists on Mars plan a time travel operation to save the planet.</p>

<p>This is an add-on for both <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21987/heretic/">Heretic</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Hexen">Hexen</a>. It comes with 12 new episodes for Heretic and over 250 additional levels for Heretic and HeXen as well as new textures, sounds, weapons and monsters. There's also a comfortable interface system which allows you to load your levels, change certain parameters and create multiplayer games.</p>

<p>After the destruction of Titan-Net, the great strategist Val Haris tried to establish a democratic government on Chromos. But the minister Argok Kraal stages a coup d'etat against him, with the help of the media conglomerate STAG. Now you have to escape the prison island you've been banished to and restore peace and freedom on Chromos again by defeating Kraal and the STAG as well as his aides, the partisan leaders Mol Durag and General Dengh.</p>

<p>Droids is a strategy game for one to four players. There are four droids on Mercury which are used to retrieve minerals. The game board is a 15x10 grid which represents the planets surface. Each grid location starts out with a mineral that the droids can retrieve. During the game players take turns selecting one of the droids, and giving it a direction to move. The droid will keep moving in the selected direction for as long as it is able to retrieve minerals. The game ends when all four of the droids have become trapped (i.e. no more moves can be made), and whoever retrieved the most minerals wins!</p>

<p>The license in this game is for famous player Joe Montana, but not for the NFL itself, so the teams represent cities rather than real-world teams, and the roster of players is fictional, although they can be fully edited.</p>
<p>All the major rules of major league football are intact. The action is viewed from the side, with the ability to catch and tackle while on the move. A ReceiverCam to help you find a free man to pass to. Multi-angle replays are built in, and can be saved to disk for a Highlights reel. This game features a playbook that lets you edit and save plays and use them during the game.</p>

<p>It's 2492 and you must pilot your Sub-Terranean Underground Network (S.T.U.N.) craft at speeds over 900 miles per hour through a series of courses to retain your title as S.T.U.N. Runner, completing each course before time runs out.</p>
<p>There are also enemies on each course, such as cycles, indestructible armored drones, and flying bird-like craft.  Shoot or avoid them.  If you hit them, you lose one of your shields (your craft has six total) and are slowed down temporarily.  The more shields you have at the finish line, the more bonus points you get.  Getting hit with no shields does not kill you, however.  There are no lives in this game.  The only way to lose is to fail to cross the finish line.</p>
<p>Along the way you'll encounter Boost Pads that temporarily speed you up to incredible speeds and make you indestructible.  By running over enough green stars on each course, you can also earn Shockwaves, which destroy all enemies in your path.</p>
<p>Note that there is no accelerator in this game.  Your craft always goes full speed, unless you hit something.  Then you will slow down, but quickly accelerate back to full speed.  Other than that, you cannot slow down and the only way to speed up is to run over a Boost Pad.  Your only controls are steering left and right and aiming the gun on top of your craft up and down.</p>

<p><em>Town With No Name</em> is an interactive cartoon arcade game, using a 3D modelling technique and set in the Old West. You must be ready to enter perilous places and confront dangerous people. Your path will take you to The-Hole-In-The-Wall gang and you'll have to figure out a way to pass through them.</p>

<p>This German game of dexterity delivers what the title promises. <em>Balance</em> is a lesson in applied gravity: guide a ball to one or more targets by tilting the plane it sits on, much like in those little plastic toys that drive you insane. A simple premise made challenging by tricky, maze-like level layouts that go beyond the "A to B" routine, but require you to touch a certain number of target tiles in no particular order. You must reach all targets in limited time, or else you have to start over. If the ball falls off the edge, one of ten lives is lost. Special fields such as jumpers, accelerators or crumbling tiles test your reflexes; some levels even rotate.</p>
<p><em>Balance</em> uses vector graphics to draw flat, untextured fields on which the ball rolls. The plane is tilted with the mouse. Every few levels, you get a password to jump directly to that map. Even so, <em>Balance</em> is extremely difficult and only recommended for players with *a lot* of patience.</p>

<p><em>Sea Dragon</em> is an arcade style side scrolling shooter. The player pilots a submarine through treacherous underwater caves in an attempt to destroy a heavily guarded reactor. Mines, gun turrets, and a variety of enemies provide obstacles to this goal. The submarine is armed with missiles, torpedoes, and a 'Big Kill' weapon (this affects everything onscreen) to help the player in their mission. The air supply is limited, so when possible the player must surface to replenish their air supply.</p>

<p><em>Back to the Future II</em> is a collection of five arcade and puzzle games.</p>
<p>Based on the second installment of the popular Hollywood series <em>Back to the Future</em>, this movie conversion has Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel through time to stop their arch-rival Biff from changing the future. The game consists of five parts, each inspired by one of the movie's most memorable scenes:</p>
<ul>

<li><strong>Hoverboard Chase 2:</strong> Another hoverboard sequence, similar to the first one, only this time set in 1955.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Back to the Future III</em> is a collection of four arcade games.

This game takes four scenes from the Hollywood movie <em>Back to the Future III</em> and turns them into arcade sequences:<em> </em><em>Buckboard Chase</em>*: Doc Brown goes horseback in an attempt to save Hill Valley's lovely school teacher Clara. This game of quick ducking, jumping and shooting alternates between a side-scrolling and a top-down perspective.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Shooting Gallery</strong>: The name says it all. A classic game of aim-and-shoot, spiced up by hidden extras and bonus targets.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Pie Throwing</strong>: Meet the Mad Dog gang. They have guns, and you have... cream pies. It's an isometric version of the shooting gallery, only with ammo. And the targets shoot back.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>The Train</strong>: Basically a side-scrolling beat-em-up on train wagons with some ducking and jumping. Get rid of the mechanics and collect speed logs to push the engine to a magic 88 mph.</p>
</li>
</ul>

Hand-to-hand combat is done with snowballs. Watch your spy's body heat or he'll become a permanent resident.</p>

<p><em>Ishar 2: Messengers of Doom</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1003/ishar-legend-of-the-fortress/">Ishar: Legend of the Fortress</a>.</p>
<p>Following the defeat of Krogh and the banishment of the powers of chaos, Ishar became a cultural and intellectual centre in Kendoria. Over time, people came to the island and settled there. A city named Zach's Island developed and flourished. Shandar, a monk of chaos, entered the city along with settlers from the northern lands. His trading in hallucinogens soon made him rich and powerful. Eventually, Shandar controlled Zach's Island and had many followers and worshippers. He built a strong fortress, a second Ishar, to challenge the empire. The warrior Zubaran has a vision that sends him on the quest to defeat Shandar and save his homeland.</p>
<p>The gameplay system is similar to that of the predecessor and includes exploration of 3D outdoor areas, towns, and dungeons, party management and real-time combat. In this sequel, the player can import saved characters from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1003/ishar-legend-of-the-fortress/">Ishar</a>, or recruit characters to join Zubaran on his quest. The game world includes dungeons, tree-cities, and mountain paths with real graded height effects. </p>
<p>Unlike the first game, there is a day and night cycle in <em>Messengers of Doom</em>. Shops are closed during the night, while medieval nightclubs are open only at that time. The game world is considerably larger than in the previous game. Other new features include the ability to use pet animals as allies in battles, and create magic potions.</p>

<p>After Zubaran, the Lord of Ishar, has defeated the evil Shandar, peace has returned to the land. Unfortunately, it didn't last for long, since Shandar found a way to retain his spirit, which is looking for a body to possess. Using time manipulation, Shandar is trying to find the dragon of Sith, last survivor of the Great Black Dragons, in order to control his body and execute its immense power for evil purposes. Zubaran has to find companions, use the Portals of Time, explore the land, and get to the Black Dragon before Shandar does.</p>
<p>In this third installment of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/359/ishar-series/">Ishar</a> series, the player can control Zubaran or import characters both from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1003/ishar-legend-of-the-fortress/">Ishar</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7701/ishar-2-messengers-of-doom/">Ishar 2</a>. The gameplay is very similar to that of the second game. The player recruits companions and navigates the party through 3D environments viewed from first-person perspective. Combat is in real-time, like in the two predecessors. A slight graphical change is the usage of digitized photos as character portraits.</p>

<p>In comparison to the better known <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7356/ninja-gaiden/">console version</a>, this game is a traditional beat'em up game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1839/double-dragon/">Double Dragon</a> in which the player walks from left to right while battling numerous enemies. Only if all foes are dispatched of, the player can advance in the level. It's also possible to perform special attacks and use weapons. The latter are either collectable power-ups or environmental objects like phone boots.</p>
<p>The player's ninja can attack his enemies using his bare hands and feet or using a sword (for a limited time). He can also perform moves such as a flying neck throw, a back flip and hang kicks, performed while hanging in scenario objects. Throwing enemies against objects such as phone cabins, oil drums or dumpsters will destroy them, revealing power ups such as health items and swords. At some points, Ryu will have to perform acrobatic moves to carry on. He has a life bar starting with five units.</p>
<p>The game takes place in United States' locations such as Las Vegas, North Carolina, Los Angeles, the Grand Canyon and Brooklyn. The enemies in those stages are mostly of the same five kinds, including Jason Vorhees' look-alikes and other masked men. There is a boss fight at the end of each stage.</p>
<p>A two-player co-operative game is also featured. Whenever the player dies, a continue screen will appear showing the player's ninja chained to a table while a circular saw descends upon him.</p>

<p>In this humorous puzzle-action game you as one of the members of mad scientists club have to play the game with other members. Billiard table is now a puzzle maze, where opponents throw bombs, and you have to operate some mechanisms to pass the bombs in certain places. Level after level the mechanisms are added and the difficulty is raised.</p>

<p><em>Infiltrator</em> is a combination of first-person helicopter simulator and isometric third-person espionage action. You, as Johnny McGibbitts, ace pilot and neurosurgeon, were given a mission against the "Mad Leader". You have to fly in a helicopter behind enemy lines and make a diversion there. You can fool the choppers into believing that you are one of the bad guys, and also you can show false documents to guards in the enemy camp. If they aren't fooled then you can use a spray of sleeping gas or even a grenade. There are many houses in the camp, which have many rooms containing useful items, but you won't be able to get them all because of the time limit for the operation.</p>

<p><em>E.S.S. Mega</em> (European Space Simulator Mega) is a space shuttle simulation using 3D-modelled graphics. The game features one long campaign that emphasizes micro-level decisions (e.g. how much fuel to carry) over macro-level space program policies. You will first equip the space shuttle with cargo, crew, and energy. Then you will launch, pilot, and land it on a “shuttle carrier”. When your shuttle is safely orbiting Earth, you will send up and maintain satellites, build and manage a space station. The in-game space database provides information.</p>

<p><em>Déjà Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=D%C3%A9j%C3%A0+Vu:+A+Nightmare+Comes+True">Déjà Vu: A Nightmare Comes True</a>. This time you wake up in Las Vegas with great headache and realize that you are Ace Harding, who has to find $112,000 of recently murdered Chicago's racketeer Joey Siegel for his boss and Las Vegas' mobster Tony Malone.

<p>The game is based on famous comics, animations and  movies series about brave independent Gauls, who drink magic power potions and fight with Romans.</p>
<p>This time Asterix and Obelix fly on the magic carpet to India with Cacofonix, whose song can make the rain for the friendly Indian villagers. But during the travel he lost his voice. Now Asterix and Obelix have to find the cure for Cacofonix' voice and rescue Princess Orinjade, who will be sacrificed by evil Hoodunnit if it isn't raining.</p>
<p>During the game you watch the static cartoon scenes and choose the answers to progress in your travel. Sometimes you need an action, so it is action sequences in the game, for example, to defend the village from the robbers, etc.</p>

<p>After American Football players started cheating by using bionic parts, the game was forced to change its rules. By 2022, the game was played not by humans, but two teams of seven robots. To spice things up, the usual pig skin ball was replaced with a 350 pound bomb.</p>
<p><em>Cyberball</em> brings this fast and furious action to life. Gameplay is essentially the same as the real sport, although the 'downs' are replaced by the bomb's heat gradually increasing towards 'critical'. After this it will explode and possession will be swapped. This is prevented when you cross the 50-yard line, lose possession or score a touchdown, in which cases it resets to 'cool'. Field goals and punts are not featured - the only kick is the initial kick-off you receive.</p>
<p>Control passes from the quarterback (thrower) to the intended catcher as soon as a pass is released. The two-player game is co-operative - on offense one player passes and the other receives.</p>

<p>Try to find the treasures that someone has dropped down on the maze. There are no enemies or any hazards in the game, so you can examine the maze as slowly and thoroughly as you want.</p>
<p><em>Treasure Hunt</em> is a very simple maze game, but what makes it somewhat special is that it's portrayed in first person perspective (remember that this game was published in 1982). 
The maze is generated randomly every time you start a new game, so there's an endless amount of mazes for a die hard player to conquer.</p>

<p>Blackjack is a computerized version of the casino card game. The object of the game is to get a higher count than the dealer without going over 21.

<p>In Black Box there is an 8x8 grid which contains several atoms hidden in it. Your job is to find the location of all of the atoms by projecting rays from the side of the box and observing what happens. If a ray directly hits an atom it will be absorbed. Rays that pass within one box of an atom will be reflected. After you have fired enough rays, you can venture a guess as to an atoms location. To help prevent random guessing you lose points for a ray that completely misses an atom or an incorrect guess about the atoms location, and gain points for rays that are absorbed or reflected and for a correct guess. If you get stumped you can end the game early and peek at the location of all atoms.</p>

<p>Freddy's Rescue Roundup is an action platform game where you need to collect all of the chickens on the screen within the available time limit while avoiding enemy robots.

<p>As a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Space+Invaders">Space Invaders</a> clone, your task in this game is to defend the Earth against endless waves of incoming aliens. The more you kill, the faster they go; if they complete their winding descent down the screen, your mission is over. Each row in the orderly squadrons is populated by a distinct breed of vaguely-insectoid intruder, and their point values vary accordingly - you get less for zapping the cannon-fodder at the bottom, more for the higher-ups. If you get them all, a new batch of uninvited guests will drop by for another (more difficult) round.</p>
<p>Five shields stand between you and the enemies - until they get too close - and can absorb a limited amount of damage before they give in. The occasional flying saucer which darts across the top of the screen (sometimes subversively marked "cop") can be shot for yet more points.</p>
<p>All of this can be done in five skill levels, ranging from novice to expert. A somewhat unusual feature is the ability to move your ship up and down as well as sideways, although you’ll always be aiming straight up.</p>

<p>A <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/1643/final-fight-series/">Final-Fight</a>/<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/249/double-dragon-series/">Double-Dragon</a> style game which features the Caped Crusader and his sidekick Robin in a traditional beat-em-up.

<p>Somewhere in the ocean is a little island, inhabited by a President and three ministers (of the air force, navy, and army). The island also has ten other resident citizens. Every morning the President receives money from the American and Russian embassies, which can be given to the ministers or spent to improve the President’s residence in the Arctic.</p>
<p>When two of the three ministers vote against the President, there is a vote of non-confidence and an election happens. Now the player has to convince the population of their leadership abilities, using the unique skills of special contacts: the chief of the Secret Police, for example, arrests political enemies (the ministers), the radio disc jockey spreads false news and the priest sells weapons.</p>
<p>Three types of weapons also enter into these negotiations – tanks, zeppelins and submarines, one fitting each of the Defense ministries. After every round the player can attack their political enemies in a very military fashion.</p>

<p><em>Tesserae</em> is a 2D combination of Rubik's Cube and the more advanced levels of <a href="/search/?q=Q-Bert">Q-Bert</a>. Simple yet colorful symbol graphics allow for endless hours of gameplay akin to how one can play <a href="/search/?q=MineSweeper">MineSweeper</a> or <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> for a long duration. Gameplay consists of flipping tesserae, or tiles, from squares over adjacent squares. The result would either create a complex tile, or cancel out, resulting in the deletion of a tile. The goal is to clear the board entirely. Higher levels have added tile complexity, and larger board grid sizes.</p>

<p><em>Pipes</em> is an educational game for children.</p>
<p>Your mission is to figure out the shortest, most economical way to get the neighborhood hooked up to the water supply system. Decide what kind of pipe to buy and where to put it. Remember that your budget is limited so you don't have much margin for errors.</p>

<p><em>Thunder in Paradise</em> is an interactive movie starring R.J. (Terry "Hulk" Hogan), Spence ("Hurricane" Spencer) and Martin "Bru" Brubaker (Chris Lemmon), among others. Based on the TV series with the same title, <em>Thunder</em> in Paradise refers to the main 'appendix' of the story: a supersonic boat called "Thunder". The game allows you to play through a Thunder in Paradise episode, titled "The M.A.J.O.R. and the Minor".</p>
<p>The game consists of several so-called 'game encounters':<em> In "</em>Thunder Encounter*", you control Thunder's powerful weapons to destroy as many threats to the boat as you can. This section of the game is somewhat like the arcade shooter "Paratrooper".</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>"<em>Island Encounter</em>" is very similar to other games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/457/mad-dog-mccree/">Mad Dog McCree</a>, in which you should shoot the baddies, before they shoot you.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>"<em>Lab Encounter</em>" has the same feeling as "Island Encounter", but set in the laboratory. Nice thing about this bit is, the way it's played (from a 'good' or 'bad' point of view) depends on how you did in the previous encounter.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>There are two ways to experience <em>Thunder in Paradise:</em><em> "</em>Interactive Television*" lets you play the role of Zack in the show. Spence and Bru ask you for help, by playing three 'game encounters'. The better you perform in a game encounter, the more bonus you will carry forward to the next encounter.</p>
<ul>
<li>"<em>Game Only</em>" allows you to choose one of the three 'game encounters'.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Rules of Engagement 2</em> is a mouse-driven starship command simulation in which the player assigns ships and captains to task forces under his/her command, while maintaining direct control of a flagship. The user interface is something like a functional version of the LCARS system seen in the TV show <em>Star Trek: The Next Generation</em>.</p>
<p>The game is also part of the IGS (Interlocking Game System) and compatible with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8116/breach-2/">Breach 2</a>, allowing the player to command the troops via that game (e.g. when boarding an enemy ship).</p>
<p>Unlike its predecessor, this sequel features digitized speech for the A.N.D.I. computer. </p>
<p>A full campaign editor is included with the game, making it possible to create missions and campaigns and even share them with others.</p>

<p>This is another game in the <em>Magic Candle</em> series of top-down RPG's that bears more than a slight resemblance to the old <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Ultima">Ultima</a> games. These games feature several other innovations over the Ultima series of games, the best example being a more complex party management system which makes it possible to divide your party of adventurers and give each party a different task.</p>
<p>Compared to earlier games in the series, <em>The Magic Candle III</em> features little more than further enhanced VGA graphics and a new storyline.</p>
<p>In <em>The Magic Candle III</em>, you and your party of adventurers, which can be transferred from the previous <em>Magic Candle</em> games, must stop a mysterious "blight" that is spreading through the country.</p>

<p><em>Gravity Force</em> is a game of dexterity. Your task is to pilot a small spaceship through a series of mazes and collect various cargo containers on your way. Your spaceship obeys the laws of gravity. You have to use a single thruster to avoid collision with walls or the ground. Various types of enemies will try to hinder your cargo salvage missions.</p>
<p>The single player part of the game consists of a total of 49 mazes. After each five successfully finished levels you will receive a password that allows you to choose the corresponding level as your starting point in the main menu. The ten highest scores achieved will be permanently saved on disk.</p>
<p>There are three other game modes available: Race, Two Pilot Race and Dogfight.</p>
<ul>
<li>In Race mode you can choose one of 10 available tracks and try to achieve the best times. You'll have to avoid obstacles similar to the ones found in the single player mission mode, and a crash means that the race is over. If you succeed in achieving a track record it will be saved permanently also.</li>
<li>Two Pilot Race offers three different tracks. The screen is splitted into two parts. Your only task is to reach the finish line before your opponent. If you crash you'll be respawned at the starting point.</li>
<li>Dogfight offers two tracks where you can fight against another player.</li>
</ul>

<p>After the death of your grand aunt you receive 400.000 DM. With this money you decide to enter the hotel business trying to rise from a small unimportant boarding-house to a Steigenberger Hotel being one of the most famous hotels in the world.  </p>
<p>This management simulation lets you take care for all important decisions a hotel manager has to make.

A time limit can be entered after which the turn of players will end.</p>

<p>A five game compilation focusing on the science-fiction topic.  </p>
<p>Members of this compilation are <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Resolution+101">Hoverforce AKA Resolution 101</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Virus">Virus</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2550/weird-dreams/">Weird Dreams</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5831/thunderstrike/">Thunderstrike</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Sentinel">The Sentinel</a>.</p>

<p>You are John Parker, Rastafarian soldier, trying to defend your herb/pot/weed/marijuana/ganja field against American soldiers. You stand on your Volkswagen bus 1969 and fire bullets to the landing soldiers. Also don't forget to destroy bombers, helicopters and later on UFO, too. Game takes part in levels and after each level Rastafarian god Jah comes to help you, renew your weed plants and to give you some more power.</p>

<p>An early squad-level tactical combat game, much like the X-Com series of games and the more contemporary Laser Squad. Breach 2 features turn-based combat from an isometric point of view set in the far future. As one of the more unique aspects the squad leaders gain experience from successful missions should they survive.</p>
<p>Breach 2 is set in the same sci-fi universe as Omnitrend's Universe and Rules of Engagement series and shares the same backstory with those games. Breach 2 is a part of the IGS (Interlocking Game System) and compatible with the two Rules of Engagement games. This means you can use Breach 2 to resolve the tactical combat situations, boarding an enemy ship for example, you run into in the starship command simulation, which is the heart and soul of the Rules of Engagement series.</p>
<p>A scenario builder is included with the game, making it possible to create your own missions and trade them.</p>

<p><em>Spyder</em> is an arcade action game where you need to shoot numerous spiders that are attacking! As they make their way down from the top of the screen, you need to fend them off using your laser before they get you. You have a limited amount of ammo, but more appears on the screen when you start running low. When a spider reaches the floor, it walks horizontally towards you and will need to squashed with your foot in order to escape.</p>

<p><em>Spectre</em> is a 3D shooter where the player drives a little red car/tank and blasts away enemies. The gameplay is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/360/battlezone/">Battlezone</a>, and obviously inspired by it.</p>
<p>There is a selection of three tanks, each with three values (speed; armor; and firepower) balanced out to match its name: Tough Guy is heavy on armor, but slow and not very powerful; Speedy is fast, but low armor; and Balanced combines both strengths, but decreased. A fourth tank allows the player to design a custom variant.</p>
<p>Every level consists of a large plane filled with enemy tanks, several psychedelic walls with odd images that often flicker or warp resembling an acid trip, and tacky 3D models like windmills. The object of each level is to either destroy all the enemy tanks in the level, or to collect all the flags. Every level has a certain theme to it, anything from plain green to a colorful blinking eye or images of sand dunes are to be found on the walls, windmills and flags throughout the level.</p>
<p>With every passing level, enemy tanks grow smarter and their rates of fire increases. Also in later levels, new, smarter, more powerful enemy tanks join the skirmish. The player has a limited amount of ammo, but driving over ammo deposits replenishes a small amount of ammunition, as well as driving over shield deposits grants additional shields. The three different views (first, third, and top-down) allow the player to incorporate additional strategies into the battles.</p>
<p>The game boasts having supposedly an infinite amount of levels, though anything after level 80 is almost instant death. A high score table is also included.</p>
<p>An additional note-worthy feature of this game is the multi-player mode. Up to eight players are supported over IPX, or NetBios (or two via modem or serial port). The network option offers three Cyberspace Scenarios: 1. <strong>Arena</strong> - free-for-all battles, get one point for each opponent destroyed.
2. <strong>Flag Rally</strong> - a match point given for collecting six flags, destroy someone to get any flags being carried.
3. <strong>Base Raid</strong> - Akin to "capture the flag". Two teams, two bases; get match point for destroying opponent base.</p>
<p>The CD-ROM manual includes a "Cyberpunk story", to give background information on the game which consisted of a cyberjock named Hart who lived for the battles in the Arena.</p>

<p>Crystal Pixels is a 3D "simulation" from the mid 1990's, created by Alessandro Ghignola, who has gone on to create such works as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7484/noctis/">Noctis</a>, which is a detailed fictional space simulation project. The game was originally written in Italian, and has recently been converted to English. It utilizes blue wireframe graphics at 320x200 resolution.</p>
<p>Crystal Pixels does not directly fit into any genres. Rooms and platforms sit in a void of space, encircling a lone star. These small rooms, called "pixels", can either have objects in them, or be entirely empty. When an explorer lands on one, they can move objects around, and can add and remove objects as well. This program does not have a preformed plot or goal to it, but instead allows the user to do with it what they like.</p>

<p>In this Christian adventure game, you assume the role of Moses, who must free his people, the Israelites, from slavery in Egypt.  A text adventure, with optional graphics.  Follows the book of Exodus very closely, and the "hint" feature usually directs you to read a particular passage.  The game itself is quite short and relatively easy, with much of the important parts of the story presented as several screens of non-interactive text.  Many of the early "puzzles" involve addressing places or people by name.  Unintentionally funny at times.</p>

<p>This is an arcade sci/fi flight game similar in style to the "Inca" series, but with an ancient Egyptian setting (like Stargate). The story goes as such, in the year 6225 B.C. on the far flung, sand covered planet of Tawy, a high-tech civil war is taking place. Over many generations two opposing Houses have formed, House Horus and the evil House Set, both completely determined to annihilate the other. As an elite warrior of the Horus empire, you are commanded by the God Horus to pilot the Sandships of the gods to destroy your evil enemies or die trying!</p>

<p><em>Supreme Warrior</em> is a full-motion video fighting game. The game, or interactive movie, is set in China hundreds of years ago. You are tasked with protecting half of a magical mask. The wearer of the mask will be granted untold power. Unfortunately, the villainous Wang Tu has the other half of the mask and wants your half badly. So, you must fight off Wang Tu's minions, and eventually Fang Tu himself.</p>
<p>The gameplay in Supreme Warrior consists of digitized video with interactive elements. At many points during the video, you can unleash a punch, kick, or block. If your timing is correct, you inflict damage on your opponent. If your timing is off, your opponent hurts you.</p>

<p>Rehash of <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId,163">Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?</a>, featuring high-resolution VGA graphics, digitized sound effects, and new locations.</p>
<p>The life cycle is self-explanatory: sign up for a case, travel between locations questioning witnesses, obtain warrants, and make arrests, and you have approximately a week to do so. The options you can do in each location are the same: you can question witnesses, look up evidence reports, or contact Crime Net to receive additional information about the suspect such as features, hair and eye color, auto, and sport. If you're lucky, you can contact other informants like Bart Samson and Vinnie the Squealer. </p>
<p>Once you get enough information about the suspect, you can transmit this information to Warren the Warrant Robot to make him get a warrant for you. If you're not sure about the information you've entered, you can look up the dossiers on each suspect. </p>
<p>Unlike the rest of the <em>Carmen Sandiego</em> games, you're given a quiz just before you get promoted, requiring you to look up the reference that came with the game. If you keep getting promoted, you may find yourself in the hall of fame.</p>
<p>Locations include (but not limited to) Kathmandu, Dar-es-Salaam, Baghdad, Manila, Lima, Port Moresby, Singapore, New Delhi, and Tokyo. You can also travel to ACME HQ in San Francisco, but the only thing you can do is start a new case, or assign a new detective.</p>

<p>This football management game features all five national English leagues. The player begins the game managing one of the teams in the Conference, with the ultimate goal of trying to reach the Premier league and win European competitions, either by improving your current club or doing well enough to earn job offers elsewhere.</p>
<p>Each match involves selecting the team, and choose a formation and a set of match tactics - intensity of tackling, height and length of passes, and shooting range could all be varied. In total there are almost 500 permutations of these options, as well as 18 basic formations.</p>
<p>The game's transfer system involves making a financial offer to both club and payer and hoping that no other club offered more. Players whose contracts have expired can be signed for no club fee - so make sure all your players are under contract.</p>
<p>The player must also negotiate sponsorship deals, plan ground improvements, ensure that injured players got the right treatment, set up training schedules, and hire backroom staff (such as coaches and scouts).</p>

<p>Two classic games bundled together in one package:</p>

<p><em>Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space</em> re-creates the thrilling endeavor of trying to lead your country's space program to the moon before a competing superpower does the same. As head of your country's space program you will need to develop all the hardware you need for your spacecraft and make it safe, choose the right persons to send into space and make sure they come back alive.
Loaded with lots of historic video clips, and other historic correct items make this game reflect the "Cold War" situation as it should.</p>

<p>PlayMaker Football unites three distinct modules into one game program. First, there is the Team Draft to "build" the team you need to best run your styles of offense and defense. Each player on the 30-man active roster (15 offense and 15 defense) has five ability categories: Speed, Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Discipline. Each player can have up to 100 points assigned to each of the five categories. </p>
<p>Next there is the Chalkboard Editor. Here you will build your playbooks, designing offensive, defensive, and special teams plays. Each playbook can have hundreds of plays, allowing you to prepare for any contingency. You can also try out each play on the Practice Field option so you can check the timing on pass plays, blocking schemes, coverage assignments, pass routes, and blitz angles.</p>
<p>Finally, its time to play some football!  You can let the computer call your game plan for you (based upon detailed Artificial Intelligence settings that you build into the playbook), or you can take charge and manually make all the calls in real time or play in an online league by uploading your playbook for use against a specific opponent.</p>
<p>PlayMaker Football is not an arcade style game -- it is as realistic and detailed a simulation of football as you can get.</p>

<p>This iteration of the <em>FIFA</em> lineage includes commentary from John Motson with summaries from Andy Gray, with the between-match sections covered by Des Lynam. All player moves are from David Ginola using the MotionBlending technology. Full interactive replays are included.</p>

<p>You can choose from an authentic arsenal of over 100 Soviet and NATO weapons. Use sensors, radars and sonar to track enemy ships. Crucial information on capabilities can be checked from the informative database. </p>
<p>The original version of the game contains one main battleset called <em>Greenland/Iceland/United Kingdom Gap</em> (GIUK). Later, several additional battleset data disks and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/55138/harpoon-scenario-editor/">a Scenario editor</a> were released.</p>

<p><em>Cavewars</em> is a turn based strategy game that combines elements of several different games of its era. The turn based strategy element mirrors that of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Heroes+of+Might+and+Magic">Heroes of Might and Magic</a> while the ability to research new units and improve armies is similar to that of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Master+of+Orion">Master of Orion</a>.</p>
<p>The unique element that separates this game from others is that the battles can take place on a number of different levels of a cave. All may be well on level 1, with both sides having a city there; meanwhile, battles rage every turn on level 3. Randomly generated maps and 8 different races to choose from ensures the same game is never played twice.</p>

<p><em>Excelsior</em> is a tile-based RPG (in the vein of the early <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/88/ultima-series/">Ultima games</a>). It places you on the planet of Lysandia with the goal of eliminating the chaotic presence threatening the planet.</p>
<p>The game follows traditional RPG concepts, including character creation, a variety of weapons and magic spells, skill sets (such as swimming, music, and seamanship).</p>
<p>The game provides a number of quests and side-quests designed to bring your character closer to completing the goal of liberating Lysandia.</p>

<p><em>W!Zone</em> is a CD add-on for any version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness</a>.

They can also create and customize scenery with new buildings, roads, vehicles, and more.</p>

<p>The "HBO exclusive" movie, <em>Soldier Boyz</em>, was converted into this interactive, full motion video shooter for the PC which tests your hand-eye coordination, quick reflexes and memory of the events that transpire on-screen.</p>
<p>A United Nations airplane flying over the jungles Vietnam is shot down. Vietnamese terrorist, Vinh Moc, kidnaps Gabrielle Prescott, the daughter of an American billionaire, who was aboard that plane. Prescott seeks out and hires Major Howard Toliver, an ex-Marine and highly decorated veteran of Vietnam, to gather a team and rescue his daughter. Toliver, who now works as a counsellor in a Los Angeles prison, recruits six men to form his team - all prison inmates who are serving life sentences. The game begins as the well-armed group lands in Vietnamese territory and makes their way through the jungles to find the captive Gabrielle. </p>
<p>The story moves along by way of interactive video cut scenes in which you must decide whether to talk or shoot. The majority of them require a "shoot first and ask questions later" mentality. If you miss your target on the first try, you are able to replay the scene repeatedly until you are successful. If you guess wrong and shoot a "friendly", you are penalized by missing out on important information.</p>

<p>This is a compilation of the games <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/692/descent/">Descent</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19253/descent-levels-of-the-world/">Descent: Levels of the World</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/694/descent-ii/">Descent II</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/27145/descent-ii-vertigo-series/">Descent II: Vertigo Series</a>, and <a href="/search/?q=Descent+Mission+Builder+II">Descent Mission Builder II</a>.

<p>Third entry in a row of historic wargames focusing on the Napoleonic era (the first two were <a href="/search/?q=Waterloo">Waterloo</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/54870/borodino/">Borodino</a>). This time the player can re-fight the decisive battle of Austerlitz, which took place on Dec 2, 1805. You may either play as Emperor Napoleon or Czar Alexander. It is also possible to play a two player game, or to take neither side (watching the computer playing both sides).  </p>
<p>Compared to the first two entries in the series the games' presentation and interface didn't change. You are observing the battle area through a 3-D perspective, while issuing commands by typing in certain pre-defined text elements (combined with names of commanders, places and time of execution). You will get reports from your subordinates indicating whether or not your orders have been carried out completely (this is of course besides watching the battlefield yourself).</p>

<p>The game is made with Game-Maker.</p>

Like the previous game in the series, this is a helicopter simulator/shooter. It features realistic features like multiple weapons selection, full freedom of movement, and a mission-based structure. On the other hand, it also throws lots and lots of enemy tanks and helicopters at you to blow up.</p>
<p>The graphics in Thunderstrike 2 are drawn completely with 3D polygons, including the helicopter's cockpit. As you track an enemy, the view changes so that it is always in your sights. There are 8 campaigns to complete, each with multiple missions.</p>

<p>Since we already have two entries for titles on this series (Pc Futbol 6 and Pc Futbol 7) and I have this game in my personal collection I will like to describe this series as a whole instead of describing this single version.</p>
<p>This series were started by Dinamic Multimedia Company located in Spain.... The first game I played was Pc Futbol 2.0 based on DOS 5.0 OS. At this moment, the game only needed between 2Mb to 3Mb HDD space.</p>
<p>The first game that reach the mass was the 3.0 version in early 90s.</p>
<p>With the start of games using CD-ROMs as launching devices, Dinamic released the 4.0 version of the game. With an improved database and first internationals versions like leagues from Argentina.</p>
<p>The 5.0 version, the one I am describing here is more like a transition between 4.0 and 6.0, in other words it was like a major year update...</p>

<p>Fatty Bear must help the other toys prepare a surprise party for Kayla. He must find the ingredients for a cake and then make it, find the missing letters for the happy birthday sign and blow up some balloons among other things. The game also includes bowling and piano minigames. </p>
<p>This is an adventure game designed for children aged 3-8 that uses an enhanced version of the SCUMM engine originally developed for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/714/maniac-mansion/">Maniac Mansion</a> by <a href="/search/?q=Ron+Gilbert">Ron Gilbert</a> who is Project Leader, Producer, Co-Designer and one of the interpreter programmers for this title.</p>

<p>In this game you fly the Royal Navy Merlin helicopter, within the environment of the Navy's training simulation. The action is viewed in 3D from one of a range of camera angles, and digitised sound effects are included. You begin near a frigate, and the aim is simply to land on the stern of the ship. There are three difficulty levels, which increase the realism of the flight model, as well as adding other factors such as wind. Once you touch down, you are given a comprehensive scoring and review of your landing.</p>

<p>This game from 1987 is based on the adventures of the French comic book character Iznogoud.   You are in the role of the Grand Vizier Iznogoud, whose only thought is to depose the Caliph of magical Baghdad and become "Caliph instead of the Caliph!"  To accomplish this aim, you must wander around and interact with characters around you, acquiring objects along the way that may or may not be useful, and figure out how all this will help you achieve your goal.</p>
<p>During the game, you have 4 different methods of interacting with other characters: you can give objects to them, you can threaten them, you can flatter them, and you can throw a tantrum.  Depending on the character, these actions will elicit different responses--or none altogether.  You will need objects for various things, and objects are all acquired from other characters.  Some characters are helpful, others are not.  But the right combination of your actions will help you to become Caliph instead of the Caliph, while the wrong ones will often land you in a cell beneath the palace.  Just be careful not to lose your own head in the process!</p>

<p>You are the Grand Vizier Iznogoud, whose one and only aim is to depose the Caliph of Baghdad and become Caliph in his place.  To do this, you must face many challenges and enemies in your path.</p>
<p>You control Iznogoud in a very colorful platform environment, moving, jumping, dodging and ducking obstacles all around you.  You can pick up objects that increase your life points as well as weapons which you can throw at your many opponents.  Each level has a level boss that you must defeat to move on to the next level.  There are also passwords given at the end of each level.  You are on a timer; so move quickly, collecting the coins and objects along the way.</p>

<p>As you would expect, "Virtual Reality Studio 2.0" (VRS2) is "Virtual Reality Studio" (VRS) with enhancements.  There are double the number of controls and commands available in VRS for added complexity and flexibility.  You can now create transparent objects or objects that fade.  Rounded objects such as flexicubes and spheres are now possible.  There's a sound effects editor so that your virtual creations need no longer be silent and the program now comes with a library of pre-designed 3D "clipart" for those of you who are too lazy to design everything from scratch.  </p>
<p>Like the original VRS, the program comes packaged with a tutorial on VHS video cassette for those who don't like to read manuals and your VR creations can be saved as stand-alone programs that don't need VRS2 to run.</p>

<p><em>Theme Park Mystery</em> is an action game set in a mysterious world of gypsies, magic and supernatural powers where nothing is quite what it seems. Your routine life is disrupted forever when you use a discarded token in the fortunetelling machine.</p>
<p>Use tokens to get tickets from the Zoltan Wizard fortune telling machine at the Train Station, and journey through the four worlds of Dragonland, Dreamland, Futureland and Yesterdayland. Find out what drove the fun seekers away and your uncle insane. Hunt for hidden keys, fiery torches and supernatural potions to help you avenge your uncle's death. Terror Awaits!</p>

<p>The last in a short-lived line of low-budget flight sims from COSMI, War Eagles is a decent action-oriented sim set in World War I. You can choose to play as either a British, or a German pilot. On the British side, you have a choice of 5 missions: patrol, escort, balloon busting, one-against-many dogfight (aptly named "The Hornet's Nest"), and single combat. There are also 5 missions on the German side that are basically mirror images of the British missions (e.g. balloon defense instead of balloon busting, and so on). In the balloon mission, you try to shoot down or defend a large floating Zeppelin. Hornet's Nest is likely to be very challenging for a beginner, although ace pilots may quickly take advantage of the game's nonexistent WWI fighter flight dynamics to dispose of enemy planes.</p>

<p><em>Zork Trilogy</em> is a compilation of all three of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Infocom">Infocom</a>'s original <em>Zork</em> games:</p>

Throughout each of the cases you can interrogate suspects, search for clues at various locations, or use police station resources to analyze clues. To win you need to find out who the criminal is within the given time limit, as well as collect enough evidence to convict him and send him to jail. Included with the game is a manual which contains the story for each of the 12 cases along with hundreds of clues. When the computer reveals clues from searches or questioning, it will give you a number which needs to be looked up in the manual for more information. To be successful, you will need to study the back story carefully and take notes as the plot unfolds! The game can be played by just one player, or up to four players can compete against each other to see who solves the case first.</p>

<p><em>Time Paradox</em> is a point 'n click adventure game in which the player gets to control a female character who travels back in time on a mission to see the magician, Merlin.

<p>An evil scientist has used genetic engineering to create a race of rampaging monsters. As a fellow scientist you must take back a chain of islands by breeding your own creatures that are faster, smarter, more aggressive, and faster at breeding. Raise your creatures in a lab where you can mate them, examine them, and even create random mutations by introducing radiation into the environment.</p>

<p><em>Rocks 'n' Diamonds</em> is a puzzle game, based on the concept of <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a>. The player's goal on each level is to collect all the gems and reach the exit, avoiding hazards (such as falling rocks or hostile monsters) and solving puzzles (e.g. skillfully digging sand from under rocks so that they fall in the right way, giving access to some gems). </p>
<p>The game comes with a level editor, and with 4 sets of levels, which are converted versions of levels from the classic games: <em>Boulder Dash</em>, <a href="/search/?q=Supaplex">Supaplex</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/39107/emerald-mines/">Emerald Mine</a>... and <a href="/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a>, a different puzzle game where the player's goal is to push objects into proper places. The <em>Supaplex</em> levels feature the graphics from the original Amiga game. </p>
<p>An enterprising level designer will quickly find out that the level editor contains tons of possible elements to cram into the map - there are countless types of monsters, many different types of gems, some keys and doors, switches, and other interesting elements. </p>
<p>The game can be played with up to 4 players simultaneously on one computer.</p>

<p>In Combots, two combat robots are put in an arena to see which can hit its opponent more times with a laser in the given time limit. To play the game, the player(s) program two combots by giving it ten commands. There are three commands the combots can perform: move, turn, or fire. The combots will repeatedly follow its commands in the arena until time runs out. (For example, you could program a combot to follow these instructions: move, fire, move, fire, turn, move, turn, fire, move, fire. The combot keeps performing these actions and you have to hope when it fires your opponent happens to be in the way at the time!) At the end of the time limit, whichever combot has more hits wins.</p>

<p><em>Civil War</em> is a war strategy simulation. You play as the confederacy in the American Civil War, and need to allocate funds and decide on a strategy to win as many battles as you can. Each turn will provide a brief overview of the battle, and allow you to allocate funds for food, salaries, and weapons as well as choose the offensive or defensive strategy you wish to use. The computer will then display the results of the battle which depend on the choices you make. The battles used in the game are actual battles from the war, and the computer will compare the results of the choices you made to the actual historical results.</p>
<p>In both the original and the <a href="/search/?q=Creative+Computing">Creative Computing</a> version it's also possible to play against another player instead of against historical results.</p>

<p>The user controls a trampoline. This trampoline can be moved across the bottom of the screen, horizontally. "Bob" jumps on this trampoline, and each time Bob hits the trampoline, he jumps higher than the previous time. On the top of the screen, there are some items that can be collected. When Bob hits the edge of the trampoline, he jumps to the side: you will have to move the trampoline to catch him the next time, because he will fall off and die otherwise. The objective is to collect a number of items at the top of the screen. When you have done so, the level is finished, and you proceed to the next level. If Bob falls on the ground (besides the trampoline), he dies. Bob has a number of lives; each time a level is finished, one extra life is added. If Bob has no lives left, the game is over.</p>

<p>The objective of this game is to kill all flies. This is done with a fly swapper, controlled with the mouse cursor. Each time the fly swapper is next to a fly, the fly is killed and becomes a dead, undestructable object. The fly swapper can not move through a dead fly; neither can living flies. Each level has preset walls and bonuses. A bonus can mean that instead of a fly swapper, the user controls a spray so that dead flies disappear instead of becoming undestructable objects.</p>

<p>Big Business, stripped down to the bare essentials: Make lots of money in this turn-based management simulation by buying companies and selling the goods they produce. <em>Invest</em> is all about, well, investment - fresh cash flows directly into new businesses, new shares and new company improvements in a never-ending cycle of productivity.</p>
<p>Up to four human players can compete for market dominance; the computer takes vacant places. Whoever amasses the most money or builds a monopoly in one of the six business areas (from pharmaceuticals to space engineering) wins. Tension rises as hired saboteurs and spies infiltrate companies to cause maximum damage - unless they are caught by a detective on guard. </p>
<p><em>Invest</em> is a German game and was never published in any other language.</p>

<p><em>Impact</em> is an old break-out style game. The user controls a paddle and needs to catch a ball with the paddle each time it comes down. When the ball hits a brick, it is destroyed (unless it's made undestroyable). Sometimes, a bonus will come out of the brick. This adds to the 'bonus score'. When the player collected one or more bonuses, he may 'release' them, and he receives a powerup. Each 'bonus score' has a different powerup: the most powerful powerups need the largest number of bonus points. Impact comes with a lot of levels and a level editor.</p>

<p>Snarf is a maze-like game. The objective is to finish all levels. A level contains points, keys, doors, teleporters, enemies, powerups and enemy generators. You can shoot the enemies to make free your path, but they will appear again from the generators.  When you reach the right end of the level, the level is finished. Some factors comprehend gameplay, however: for instance, you cannot have more than 1 or 2 bullets in the game: you will be able to shoot only when you don't have the maximum number of bullets currently on the screen. The game has 50 levels, climbing in difficulty from very easy to very difficult. Snarf comes with a level editor to create your own levels: you can also create the graphics for the wall for that level. It also comes with a comprehensive manual.</p>

<p>Wanderer is a boulderdash-like game. Each tile contains a terrain and passing it gives a number of points. Levels contain earth, boulders, teleporters, balloons, monsters, and more hazards. The objective is to collect all treasures and kill all monsters. When you have done so, you may finish the level by moving to the exit.  Wanderer comes with 60 levels and a level editor.</p>

<p><em>Hoosier City</em> is a top-down action game in 3 episodes. You must rid a city of evil mutants in a post-nuclear-war era. You can move from screen to screen to collect keys and objects in order to move on. You can collect weapons and money to buy weapons: you start with only a sword, but in the end you will have machine guns and bombs.</p>

<p>Little Bombuzal has to blow up bombs on little islands in this puzzle game. In order to advance to the next level, all bombs need to detonate. There are various sizes of bombs. Bigger ones have such a huge blast radius that Bombuzal cannot trigger them directly - instead, he has to explode smaller bombs first and cause a chain reaction. So as one might imagine, later levels turn into loud blastfests that need to be carefully planned.</p>
<p>Besides, later levels introduce all kinds of additional hazards and gimmicks, like ice floors, movable bombs, disappearing ground tiles, and much more. Nobody said being a pyromaniac is easy.</p>

<p>Goal II is a character-based soccer management game for international soccer. You can play in four continents, America, Europe, Africa and Asia: each have 32 countries. Up to 6 human players can join in a game. You will need to win games in order to qualify to the finals of either the continental cup or the world cup: you win games my selecting your squad and your tactics: if you win matches, you will get better players: this way, when taking enough time, literally any country can be made world champion.</p>

<p><em>Amulets and Armor</em> is a mission-based role-playing game. The game comes with a number of missions of varying difficulty levels that the player can take in unrestricted order or repeat them. They each have four to five chapters, in which the player basically explores a dungeon, kills a lot of enemies, grabs some new loot, and find the exit.</p>
<p>The game comes in full, textured 3D, and the engine does allow the player to go 'up and down', as in over a spot where you were before. Enemies and items in the game are 2D sprites. Combat is action-based.</p>

<p>In <em>Bionic Commando</em> the player takes control of a soldier with a bionic arm that extends and contracts. The bionic arm allows the soldier to grab onto fixed objects and swing around and climb up levels — no jumping allowed! The arm also grabs opponents and pulls them towards the protagonist.</p>
<p>The player's mission is to storm the enemy's fortress and destroy the launch computer to prevent the enemy from using their doomsday weapon.</p>

<p>This is the expansion pack for Terminator 2029 (original game is required).</p>
<p>After the destruction of the Orbital Satellite Platform in late 2029, the clean-up of all remaining Skynet forces is ordered.  But something unexplained is occuring: certain Skynet forces are coming back online and a new, mysterious weapon system code-name "The Guardian" has appeared with devastating effect.</p>
<p>Your mission: seek out and destroy the new source of Skynet intelligence and find and terminate the Guardians!</p>
<p>Gameplay, graphics, specs, etc are exactly like Terminator 2029 -- this expansion basically gives you 12 new missions to play through.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>12 new missions</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>new ACE Battle Armor features (including autofire)</p>

Other game features include high score table, save/restore feature, embedded help/rules, statistics, and multiplayer support. The tutor feature allows to calculate the change of improving the hand for the next card at any time.</p>

<p>The objective of <em>Catch 'Em</em> is to catch all falling objects. Each level features a different object falling. When any object is missed, you lose a life, and your paddle, which you use to catch the objects, shrinks with one paddle. When a 'bad object' like a lightning bolt is caught, you also lose a life. You can re-win this life, but you can't have more lives than your 3 starting lives. Subsequent levels get more and more difficult simply because of the speed. Every four levels, a bonus level appears where you may or may not avoid all objects: it's simply for points.</p>

<p><em>Fast Food</em> is similar to <a href="/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> or <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a>, but not quite. The objective is to collect all fast food on the screen: that means, food that is moving fast. While doing so, you will have to avoid the monsters, otherwise you'll get killed. There are 30 levels, increasing in difficulty from very easy to extremely difficult.</p>

<p><em>Tough Guy</em> is a fighting game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/379/street-fighter-series/">Street Fighter</a>. Choose one fighter and travel all over the world to choose and challenge a wide variety of fighters.</p>
<p>A unique feature of <em>Tough Guy</em> is that fighters have the ability to refill their health if they are injured. They also have super moves which can inflict a lot of damage on their opponent.</p>

<p>The 1992 olympic games took place in Barcelona, Spain, and the corresponding computer game came from <a href="/search/?q=Ocean">Ocean</a>: <em>The Games '92 - España</em>. The sports simulation boasts an impressive variety of diciplines, divided into three sections:</p>
<p><strong>Track and Field:</strong> running, relay, hurdles, steeplechase, discus, shot putt, hammer throw, javelin, long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault;  </p>
<p><strong>Water Sports:</strong> free style, breast stroke, back stroke, butterfly, relay, diving;  </p>
<p><strong>Fighting:</strong> boxing, wrestling, judo, fencing.</p>
<p>Eliminating the different distances in single events (such as 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m freestyle), though, <em>The Games</em>' "over 30 events" melt down to 22; and counting only those which differ to some degree in their execution, it boils down to six: running, throwing, jumping, swimming, diving and fighting.</p>
<p><em>The Games '92</em> is divided in three parts: During preparation time, manage and train twelve athletes by sentencing them to gym time and daily practice. Game time advances with each action until the olympic games begin.  </p>
<p>In pactice, heats and finals, you take control of your athletes and drive them to peak performances through rhythmical tapping of the cursor keys, and the occasional press of the space bar.  </p>
<p>In the database section, you can read up on previous games and winning athletes, and take a look at Barcelona location maps.</p>

<p><em>Zoop</em> is a fast-paced puzzle game in which the player eliminates colored shapes that are approaching his alter ego, another colored shape, before they reach the top, somewhat similarly to <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>.</p>
<p>In order to eliminate the other shapes, you must point your piece at it and 'fire'. If the shape is the same color as your piece, the shape is eliminated, as well as all of the shapes of the same color behind it, until your piece hits a piece of a different color. If the shape is of a different color, or it is hit when collecting a line of similar shapes, your piece exchanges colors with the shape.</p>

<p>A "2.5D" DOOM-era shooter with FMV sequences, set on Lorgina Island. Your girlfriend "Sweet Cheeks" has been kidnapped, and you must save her from the stronghold of the "Evil Boss" and his dastardly henchmen, (who seem to come back from the dead quite often...) with only your trusty raincoat and pistol to protect you.</p>

<p>An early 4X space strategy game that foreshadowed the more recent Master of Orion I and II.  The game can be played with 2-6 players, any combination of which can be either human or AI controlled. There is no real sound in Armada 2525, save for the occasional system beep. Game play can be either open ended or set to a specified number turns. There is no set objective to gameplay (except for your 4X's) and the story line is almost non-existant:  It is the year 2525 and as your race begins its first step in extra-planetary colonization, you discover that you are not alone in the galaxy. You must compete with up to 5 other races in colonizing planets, and the near lack of diplomatic interaction in the game pretty much insures that you will need to build defenses early on.  Unlike Master of Orion, diplomacy only occurs when an opponent requests peace, but you cannot make such requests yourself.    </p>
<pre><code> Armada 2525 offers a fair assortment of ships (approx. 20) and buildings (approx. 15), which can only be built after the appropriate technological advance.  One can build research labs which are dedicated to one of eight available scientific fields: weapons, construction, hyperspace, force fields, biotech, planetology, info science, and psycho science. Combat can be controlled to an extent - though you cannot affect the individual actions of ships, you can issue general orders and arrange them into formations.
</code></pre>
<p>Your race will start at a predetermined homeworld from which it will expand to colonize new solar systems in the usual 4X quest of exploring, expanding, exploiting, and exterminating of your opponents.</p>

<p><em>Q*bert</em> is a popular arcade game. The goal is to change all of the tiles on a pyramid to the target color. To do this you guide Q*bert around the pyramid, and every tile he hops on will change color. On early levels, a single hop will change the tile to the desired color, but on later levels, you may need to hop on a tile multiple times or even avoid hopping on a tile multiple times! Trying to stop Q*bert are many different creatures wandering around the board, including Coily the snake, Slick and Sam, and falling balls. On the edge of the board are floating discs; if Q*bert jumps on one of these discs when the snake is in pursuit, the snake will fall off the board while Q*bert is safely transported to the top.</p>

<p>This is a top-down vertically scrolling shooter, in which you start off as a motorbike. You are quite vulnerable to attack at first, but power-ups come in the form of a Sega van which you have to dock with. The first time you dock you get double fire, the second time gives you a rocket, the third gives a rear force field, and the fourth invulnerability.</p>
<p>By destroying cars and bikes that appear on your way, you can collect A-F letters.

<p>There are several factors that affect the outcome of a jump, of which the most important is timing. A poorly timed "take off" will most likely drag you down and force you to land prematurely. Other factors include wind strength and direction as well as a certain knowledge of the hill you're jumping from.</p>

Accidentally, Colin has been digitized and curlified into his computer at the moment he completed the final level of the game. Colin has been trapped inside his own computer and an amazing array of challenges are standing between him and the escape from this electronic nightmare.</p>
<p>You have to move Colin Curly from the ENTRY packet to the EXIT packet by jumping from one platform to the next. Colin can only escape from a level if ALL the platforms have shut before he reaches the exit.</p>

<p>Hergé's famous cartoon character is brought to life in this multi-stage action game, specifically based around two previous Tintin comic books. In many details the story was similar to the real moon landings, then many years off. </p>
<p>A more accurate title for the game would be 'Tintin Gets to the Moon', as reaching it is your challenge. The game is split into two distinct types of sections; the first of these involves guiding the rocket through space. Steer it to avoid contact with asteroids, and to collect eight red spheres. Yellow spheres boost energy, and so should be collected.</p>

<p>This is a platform game based on the movie "Home Alone". Kevin's family went on vacation, but they forgot about him, so now he's home alone. Now there are two burglars who want to break into the house.
Kevin has to prevent the burglars from kidnapping him, by riddling the house with traps.</p>
<p>The player controls Kevin through the mansion in a side perspective. He has one hour before the burglars will break into the house. In this hour, the player has to set up various traps in order to make the burglars give up on capturing Kevin.
After this hour, the burglars break in, and the traps become active. 
Each trap deals 5 damage to a burglar, and the first shot of Kevin's BB gun deals another 5. During this phase, the screen always tells in which room each burglar is at the moment. The game is won by dealing 50 damage to each burglar.</p>

<p><em>Jr. Pac-Man</em> features gameplay similar to the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/138/pac-man/">Pac-Man</a>, but with a few changes. As Jr., you need to eat all of the dots in a maze without running into the four ghosts that are trying to get you. The maze is now much larger, and no longer fits on a single screen. The maze will scroll around to follow the action. From time to time a tasty bonus will bounce around the screen which can be eaten for extra points. There are tricycles, kites, drums, balloons, trains, root beers, and other bonuses that appear as the levels progress. When the bonus items bounce around the screen, any dots they touch will become larger and are now worth 50 points each instead of 10. However, one of these larger dots will cause Jr. Pac-Man to slow down greatly when he eats them making it more difficult to remain one step ahead of the ghosts which constantly pursue him! Located throughout the maze are power pellets; when Jr. eats one of these, the ghosts will temporarily turn blue and can now be eaten to earn even more points.</p>

<p><em>Loadstar</em> is a rail-shooter concerned with shooting enemies while navigating your ship, much like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7451/sewer-shark/">Sewer Shark</a>. You're actually on rails in this game, as you travel in a truck/train called Loadstar along a magnetic rail network covering the moon. Shifting the cursor to the edge of the screen changes to a different track when available, with incorrect turns either killing you instantly or moving you off-course from the level end. Direction indicators and distant landmarks help keep you driving in the right direction, while accidents, track closures, and robot cops work to keep you from it. Your weapons "tag" enemies and force them to explode, or can tag incoming shots and deflect them with a separate shield button. </p>
<p>Gameplay is broken into three levels as you race from one destination to another to escape with your cargo. The game features sophisticated full-motion video cutscenes breaking up the levels and providing the story. Barry Primus and Ned Beatty star.</p>

<p>The package comes with printed manuals.</p>

<p><em>Mass Destruction</em> puts players behind the controls of a one-man tank. The environments range from arctic to desert to urban. The player can blow up trees, buildings, walls - whatever you don't like the look. Enemies will come at you in tanks, planes, helicopters, and on foot.

<p>This turn-based strategy game introduces hundreds of historical characters of the Three Kingdoms era. The game's main objective is to become the supreme ruler of the remnants of the falling Han Dynasty.

<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9093/romance-of-the-three-kingdoms/">Romance of the Three Kingdoms</a>. The game concept is still the same, though they did improve a lot of features that one may consider 'disturbing' from <em>RTK I</em> (e.g. Generals dying easily due to disease, etc.). <em>RTK</em> can be said to be much more 'stable' where players no longer have to worry that much about time length in the game, as the game take a slower time rate to allow the players to build up their forces without much interference. The <em>RTK II</em> gameplay and interface is closely similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6167/nobunagas-ambition-ii/">Nobunaga's Ambition II</a>.</p>

<p>One night, when Roy Fat was home, thugs from the evil Thindicate corporation kidnap Roy's old lady while she watches television, and the only way that Roy is going to get her back is to trade her for the Duplicator, and the complete documentation that came with it.</p>
<p>There are seven stages to the game, and there are three levels each in the first stage, only two in the rest. The object of the game is to eat all the food that there is in the level. Once all food is eaten by Roy, a tone will sound, meaning that the gate that leads Roy into the next level will be open. Stopping him from doing this is insects and other wildlife, including rats, birds, bats, and many more. Roy is able to fix this, however, by using a variety of weapons like his foot, his fat tummy, carrots, mushroom bombs, and my personal favorite, his burp. He can also jump in the air and land on his ass to get rid of enemies. </p>
<p>If he touches an enemy, he loses one of his lives. If he loses all his lives, the game is over.  Once Roy has collected all the food in a stage, he has to face a boss that is usually much bigger than him.

<p>The original Macintosh version consists of six black-and-white stacks for the Macintosh's <em>HyperCard</em> software. Ports to other systems added color graphics. Also, the Macintosh floppy and CD versions are the same except for the cd version adding audio enhancements like voice-overs for the dialogue.

<p><em>The Wizard of Id's WizType</em> is an edutainment title based on the comic strip created by artist <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/422943/brant-parker/">Brant Parker</a> and writer <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/422942/johnny-hart/">Johnny Hart</a>. The title is designed to give keyboard novices lessons on how to improve their typing accuracy and speed.</p>
<p>The game is broken into two sections: The first section pits players as the Wiz, matching wits against the Evil Spirit, an apparition that lives in the Wizard's vat. The Wizard must quickly type out the words that the Evil Spirit gives him in order to diminish the Spirit and win the round. Failure to spell words properly, or taking too long to spell results in the Evil Spirit morphing into a dragon, and singing the Wizard to a crisp.</p>
<p>The second part of the game has the player trying to keep up with Bung the Jester. In this segment, players must type out a pre-written paragraph in order to keep pace with Bung, who is hopping along the words on a pogo stick.</p>

<p><em>The Shadows of Mordor</em> is an officially licensed J.R.R. Tolkien "Lord of the Rings" text adventure game based on the second part of the trilogy - "The Two Towers".</p>
<p>You can select to play as either Frodo or Sam. The game follows the plot of the book closely and many locations have accompanying illustrations. Unusually for a text adventure game, the action happens in real time: if you sit there thinking of what to do next, things will happen in the game, e.g. creatures will move from location to location.</p>

<p>A platoon-level tactical game of armored warfare that encompasses almost all ground weapons used on the Russian Front from 1941-45. <em>Kampfgruppe</em> puts the player in command of either a German or Russian battle group, providing four historical and an infinite number of randomly created scenarios.</p>
<p>The historical scenarios:</p>

<li>Attempted relief of Stalingrad (December 17, 1942).</li>
<li>Attack toward Kiev (November 3, 1943).</li>
<li>Attack toward Berlin (March 22, 1945).</li>
</ul>
<p>The game will automatically end after 20 turns (after 30 if there is an assault battle being played). However a game may be ended earlier or continue after it has ended if all sides agree. At the end of the game victory points will be awarded which will determine whether the battle was a draw or a marginal, substantive, or decisive victory.</p>

<p>Fascination is a mature-themed adventure. The game is  about a business man who has invented a chemical drug that increases the sex-drive. Unfortunately he was assasinated, and you accidentally get hold of the drug sample. Your mission is to try to deliver the sample to the right person and avoid being made out as the murderer.</p>

<p>Another J.R.R. Tolkien based game, but specifically focused on the Two Towers story, starting right before the siege of Helm's Keep: the battle between the defending forces of Rohan and the attacking legions of the evil wizard Saruman. The game introduces a similiar style of play as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1477/jrr-tolkiens-war-in-middle-earth/">War in Middle Earth</a>, that is a macro-world map point of view which operates battles and movement of mass armies, and there's a micro point of view, a more 'action' approach where the original characters of the Fellowship can battle enemies at a smaller scale: Shoot orcs from a ranged distance, fight them melee in an arcade fighting style or challenge them in a duel of magic.</p>

<p>The player is DJ Puff the fire breathing dragon, set out to fry all your enemies in one puff. The objective of the game is to collect certain 'discs' spread across the game. These discs are either placed in hard to reach places or appear after you defeat certain types of monsters. </p>
<p>Basically you have to blast your way through or fly (jump) through treacherous terrain: water and bamboo sticks are one of many terrain types that can kill your character. Blasted monsters turn into 'bonus fruit' (yes, fruit) of which you can obtain for additional points.</p>
<p>A unique attribute of DJ Puff is that you can modify the speed to a very wide range, therefore the current CPU speed can be modified to suit the player (from Zzzzz speed to Lightning speed).</p>

Sign the right players and sell the bad ones to improve your squad. As in previous games in the series, the telephone puts you in touch with your staff, such as coaches to improve your players' skills and a scout to find new players. Stadium improvements (room for more supporters, undersoil heating, a better supporters' club) and sponsorship (assigning a brand to each piece of the stands around and above the pitch) are largely unchanged from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8201/premier-manager-2/">PM2</a>.</p>
<p>New to this version is the Assistant Manager - if you can sign a quality one, he can do jobs such as training for you. Tactical depth is increased in <em>PM3</em> - each player can be assigned a position on the pitch depending on which sector the ball is in, in a manner similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2945/sensible-world-of-soccer/">Sensible World of Soccer</a>. Match coverage is fuller than in earlier versions, with an isometrically-viewed pitch displaying each touch in detail, helping you work out why your team lost 5-0, and how to stop it happening again.</p>

<p>There are 6 historical scenarios included in the game, and they are labelled after the turn that they start on, from Autumn '39 to Summer '44. A scenario builder can be brought into action for players wanting to change the starting situation. It allows for the modification of an area's terrain type, population or raw material points it contains. The player can transfer units or change the beginning levels of the major powers like research and reinforcement.</p>
<p>Each game turn represents three months of action. The game map covers every part of the European conflict - from North Africa to Sweden, from Gibraltar to the Ural Mountains in Russia.</p>

<p>What do you get when you combine a Paddle game like <a href="/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a> and a 3D Shooter game like <a href="/search/?q=Doom">Doom</a>? You get <em>Breakfree</em>, a 3D Paddle game where you 'shoot' fireballs against walls similar to your average Paddle game but with a 1st Person Perspective approach.</p>
<p>The object of the game is to "break free", of which is done by destroying the (breakable) walls with the "balls" or in this case the fireballs you have. The fireballs will bounce back to you, of which you will bounce them back to the walls using your (invisible) paddle in front of you. Certain (red brick) walls, have bonuses that you have to 'catch' after you destroy them with your fireball. When you lose all your fireballs, game over.</p>

<p>It is 2124, and alien life has been found in our own solar system. The location of this life is just as surprising as its existence; there is a whole ecosystem living within the incredibly hostile atmosphere of the gas giant, Jupiter.</p>
<p>When these findings became public, and the hostile nature of some of the creatures became known, the 'eye' of Jupiter was declared a frontier zone. Of course, it wasn't long before someone thought of a great way to make money out of our new neighbours and the first Hunters were dispatched from Earth. Now TVs across the globe display nightly broadcasts of Hunters engaged in bloodthirsty combat with the inhabitants of Jupiter. Does no-one care that these new life forms are being wiped out in the name of mass entertainment?</p>
<p>Well, I.C.E. care. The Interstellar Conservation Executive has sent you, its newest recruit, off to Jupiter to study and document all the lifeforms you can find. You make money not by killing them, but by filming their actions. You can then use this money to upgrade your ship's engines and descend lower into Jupiter's atmosphere, to discover even weirder creatures. You'll also find people who want you to collect rare objects for them (also in exchange for cash), discover strange alien artefacts that may or may not help you in your quest, and you'll probably have to engage in a few fights with the Hunters. It's a little sick, but these images will be broadcast to the audiences back home, too, so you'll make more money from that. Still, better to kill an evil Hunter from Earth than a peaceful space whale from Jupiter, right?</p>

<p><em>Darts</em> is a (shareware) computer version of the semi-organized darts leagues of America and England, adopting rules often used in those dart leagues.</p>
<p>Players stand back from a circular board and aim to hit one of the 62 sections. It is split into 20 outward rings (each with a score of 1-20 and each with a Double-points zone on the outside and a Triple-points zone in the middle), as well as a Bullseye ring for 50 points in the centre, and an Outer Bull zone for 25. Players take 3 darts in a row and in the standard game the aim is to reduce your score (from 301 in this version) to zero, finishing with either a double or the Bullseye.</p>
<p>This game offers 3 additional game types: Round the Clock, Slider, and Cricket, as well as additional target practice. The game has a maximum of 4 players.</p>

<p>In the late 21st century, an army of insect-like aliens has invaded the Earth. Relying on collective group mind and telepathic messages, these creatures have overthrown the dominant race on their home planet, Siria, assimilating their technology. As the planet became uninhabitable, the new Sirians have ventured into deep space, hoping to find a new home. Their goal was to find vertebrate creatures, in which they could lay their eggs; they have chosen the Earth for that reason. To avert this terrible threat, the Fist of Earth organization sends a fighter pilot named Viper to protect the planet, navigating their strongest weapon - the starfighter XF5700 Mantis.</p>
<p><em>XF5700 Mantis Experimental Fighter</em> is a mission-based space combat simulation, and a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13345/warhead/">Warhead</a>. The game utilizes real space (Newtonian) physics for ship navigation. Mission objectives usually involve eliminating alien ships while protecting Viper's wingmen. The game continues the plot of <em>Warhead</em> in its 90 missions.</p>

<p>In <em>Perfect Assassin</em>, the main character is an interplanetary assassin named Charon who has lost his memory somehow. Charon is contacted by a shadowy character named Ul D-Grak, who claims to have a mission for him, and asks the assassin to meet them on the planet Kar-Naq. Charon lands on the planet near a city and proceeds to search for his mysterious client. </p>
<p>The gameplay is from a third-person view, but the camera is always located at a set place on a map. As the player walks between different places, the camera fluidly moves from one set viewpoint to another. </p>
<p>The gameplay has some action in it, but mostly it is adventure-style solving of puzzles or talking to people. During conversations, Charon can ask people a question about any subject he has heard about (a character, location or item), and he can assume one of three stances: meek, normal or aggressive. This is sometimes necessary to progress in a dialogue: for example, certain characters won't give Charon necessary items unless threatened.</p>
<p>At other times Charon needs to use violent force to proceed. Charon can shoot his gun anytime, aiming at any spot visible on the screen. The gun can be used to kill enemies, or to shoot at specific parts of the environment to solve puzzles.</p>

<p><em>Dam Busters</em> is an early flight simulation, set in World War II. It focuses on Dam Busters who historically were used to heavily bombard strategic objectives, in this case dams.</p>
<p>This task is not easy, as en route you will face heavy opposition forces. Fortunately, you won't be a sitting bomber in the air. Your aircraft is equipped with machine guns (left and right) with unlimited rounds of fire power, so fire at will as the enemy approaches.</p>
<p>When the time comes, you will have to bomb the target manually. So, get ready to unload the cargo and give them hell!</p>

<p>Satori is a solitaire board game, which is played on a 10x10 board. In addition to the board, the play pieces or tiles, of which ammount to 60 different tiles have on it a path segment. Each path segment consist of one color from the five availabe different colors: Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and Violet. The tiles appear randomly from the stack or deck as you play the game.</p>
<p>The objective of the game is to place the tiles on the board in such a way to create the longest connected path possible. This is done by placing any given tile next to a tile with a connecting path. Each connecting path is awarded with points, regardless if the tile is different from the prior. However, if the tile place next to the prior tile is of the same color, you of course get higher points.</p>
<p>If you don't get that description, it's basically similiar to games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=pipe">Pipe Dream</a>.</p>

<p><em>Drug Wars</em> is a game where the player takes on the role of a street drug dealer in New York. The player character owes the local loan shark $5,500, but unfortunately only has $2,000. He has one month to earn money by selling drugs and repay the debt.</p>
<p>The area of commerce where the player may buy or sell drugs consists of six regions in New York: the Bronx (home town), Ghetto, Central Park, Manhattan, Coney Island, and Brooklyn. The identified drugs are (from most to least expensive): cocaine, heroin, acid, weed, speed, and ludes.</p>
<p>In one month, the player will have to pay off the debt and make as much money as possible. Time passes in a turn-based fashion, moving forward when the player travels from one area to another. Each time the player travels, a random event may occur (e.g. Mom borrows some weed to makes brownies). Each movement also triggers a price change for each drug, making their prices more difficult to predict when the player goes to a different area. Additionally, if the player carries too much merchandise, they may attract the attention of the police, which may provoke a gun fight (if the player bought guns) or force the player to run away to avoid being caught.</p>
<p>Additional features are banks (only in the Bronx) to stash cash in case the player gets mugged in the subway, the loan shark to pay off or borrow fresh funds from, and a place to stash surplus drugs (only in the Bronx). Random important features include someone offering the player to buy guns, a trench coat (more pockets to carry drugs), etc.</p>

<p>In order to do so, he must find the emergency exit that will get him to the upper levels. But it seems that the emergency exit is wielded shut, if not humanly impossible to open with your bare hands. That means, you have to gather dynamites and the detonator available at each level to blow that emergency exit door to kingdom come!</p>
<p>Watch out, the ceiling looks fragile. It seems that everytime you walk pass a brick (ceiling), they fall down behind you. Basically means, one way only. </p>
<p>This game requires some serious planning, so think ahead before you move. Because if you get stuck, your stuck. Game over - Restart.</p>

<p><em>Eamon</em> was one of the earliest role-playing games available for the Apple II. It was also perhaps the first ever adventure game construction set. The game was public domain, so it was mainly distributed in Apple user groups and by trading with friends. </p>

There are also several spells: Blast, a damage spell; Power, which has random effects, Heal, which cures you; and Speed, which increases your chance to hit.</p>
<p>Character development is fairly simple. Your character starts with random stats in three categories: Hardiness (how much you can carry and the amount of damage you can take), Agility (How good you are in combat) and Charisma (Affects the costs of items in the store and the friendliness of monsters). You also has percentage ratings for each of the weapon types that determine, along with the armor penalty, whether you can hit or not. These percentage ratings have a chance of going up every time you hit a monster with that type of weapon.</p>
<p>The game is entirely text-based, though the construction set allows the addition of graphics. You interact with the environment typing simple one or two-word game commands such as ATTACK RAT, INVENTORY, or NORTH. There is no option to save your game, so death is often quick, sudden, and final.</p>

Other than scouts (which are the least powerful) the units can only move one space at a time.The flag and bombs can't be moved during the game, so watch out for any squares the computer does not move when it otherwise logically should, and these could be your goal.</p>
<p>When you choose a square occupied by an opposition piece, combat arises, and the higher-numbered piece is lost from the game. You have no way of knowing what strength the opposition pieces are until you have hit them. </p>
<p>This computerized interpretation has 3 different board layouts, a selection of automatic setups with different strategic benefits, and a demo mode.</p>

<p>The indian-originated space elf Quarky O'Ghandi and his sister Quaysoo organized a team Los Turbos to beat well-known Das Liquidators, Cool City Maulers, and Valiant Cube. Answering correctly on questions, you as member of Los Turbos must earn money to move between checkpoints, and to win a race. Movement between check points can be done using five different means of transportation. Each of them has its own price and time needed to reach the checkpoint - those cheaper are in most cases slower. A several won races raise your rank and add chances to win a Turbo Science championship.</p>
<p>The game has a very educational aspect. In each checkpoint the player has to deal with different physics terms and questions. There are two difficulty levels of question depending on the player's knowledge and experience. The game has also a strategy aspect - earning more money on earlier, easier levels may be crucial to the whole race. The player does not have to take questions at every checkpoint as long as he has money to continue the race.</p>

<p><em>Crazy Cows</em> is a strategy game much similar to the turn-based combat modes introduced by games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Jagged+Alliance">Jagged Alliance</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=X-Com">X-Com</a>, although less complex. The game itself consists of one big battleground where two teams - the Grey Cows and the Brown Cows - fight each other. Each team must battle each other for victory until the last cow wins. Each team has a number of cows that will fight for the cause. The teams have no advantages or disadvantages and only differ in color, like in chess.</p>
<p>The battleground map, other than the two herds, also consist of scattered weapons: a katana sword or a shotgun and various terrain. However, the battleground map also introduced fog of war, where both team players must search the grey areas in order to achieve line of sight. Once they grey area's are explored, it stays that way. </p>
<p>The game play is divided into two major modes, movement and combat. Movement consists of moving the cow in accordance with the Movement Points (MUs). While moving, the cow can usually search and explore the battleground to find enemies and weapons, as well as pick up weapons, which is done automatically by moving to the square where the weapon is allocated. A cow picking up a katana (melee) automatically becomes a Ninja Cow in a ninja outfit. A cow picking up a shotgun because a Mean Cow Punk with black shades (ranged). Cows can also move into strategic squares for defence or offence.</p>
<p>Combat depends on what weapon the cow wields. If the cow is a ninja, eventually it has to come within range of the enemy cow, i.e. an adjacent square. Shotgun cows can attack enemy cows at range within line of sight.</p>

<p>This is the original Russian version of Lines. It is a turn-based board game. Each turn, three randomly colored balls fall on random grids of a 9x9 squares board. Your mission is to re-locate the balls (by moving one of them per turn) to form lines consisting of five or more balls of the same color. The lines can be arranged vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Each line you build immediately disappears, giving you points. There is basically no end to the game, but your first objective is to surpass the 3000 points scored by the "king". Once you surpass him, he loses the throne and you become the new king, but the game continues ad infinitum. You lose when the entire board is filled with balls.</p>

<p>In <em>Rescue at Rigel</em>, you take the part of Sudden Smith, a human adventurer teleported down by transporter beam inside a six-floor, sixty-room complex inhabited by an alien race, the Tollah. Scattered throughout the base, which has been hollowed out of an asteroid orbiting Rigel, ten humans are held captive, one in each of ten different rooms. While you can adjust the difficulty of the task, the object in all cases is the same: to search the complex, find and release as many of the prisoners as possible (by activating the transporter beam, which will teleport them back up to the ship), and get out alive-in an hour or less.</p>
<p>If the Tollah base can be likened to an iceberg, you begin the game at the tip: inside the top room, the only one that connects the complex with the surface of the asteroid. (Since there is no air and no escape on the asteroid itself, the door to the outside, being "off limits," is not shown on the display). From this vestibule there are only two usable exits. The larger obviously leads to a gravshaft; the smaller looks like an ordinary doorway-but there are no other rooms on the floor. Whichever way you choose to begin your quest, there will be no turning back once you walk through the door.</p>

<p>It is the not-so-distant future, after the Great Apocalypse. Only the strongest and smartest have survived. It has been several months since The Day Time Stopped, several months since The Bomb, several months since you've seen the sun or felt its warmth. You can't last too much longer on the supplies left in your shelter. Soon you must leave your sanctuary. You have no idea what waits outside, other than the radiation.

The player can also choose various effects such as global warming or rain-creating swamps, which affect the game's difficulty.</p>
<p>The player character starts in the shelter, where he receives initial supplies such as food, fuel, healing items, arrows, etc. The protagonist has life, exhaustion, and radiation levels. Some of these are depleted in real time, and the player is required to monitor the protagonist's well-being most of the times. Eventually the player comes across a book that teaches the hero how to build roads and shelters, create new items, and other vital information. The protagonist can also hunt and obtain food by cultivating fields.</p>

<p>This second version is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10371/rbi-baseball/">the original</a> game in terms of gameplay. This time around the game uses the teams and statistics from the 1989 season. Just as in the original, you get to see what it's like to step up to the plate as Ricky Henderson, pitch the ball like Nolan Ryan, and catch a line drive like Ozzie Smith.</p>

<p>Magic Johnson's Fast Break is fast-paced two-on-two action rather than the usual five-on-five contest. On screen you get a full-court, horizontally-scrolling gameplay. A referee monitors the action and calls the fouls if the gameplay gets too rough, and a crowd cheers you on.</p>

<p>The game employs 3 different camera angles to capture the most realistic aspect on the course.</p>

<p>In this fighting style game, the player assumes the personas of various character types from the <em>Ravenloft</em> setting of the <em>Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons</em> universe. The goal (besides winning each battle) involves a quest for artifacts that will determine whether the "ranks of Chaos" or the "Lords of Law" are triumphant.</p>
<p>Unique to this fighting game (at least at the time) was the introduction of cooperative campaign play for two players at once.</p>

<p><em>Alpha Storm</em> is a spaceship simulator and a first person shooter. You can travel through star systems. Encounter enemy fleets and battle them with the ship's weapons/devices, or by shooting the enemy ships shields down and teleporting there to kill the crew by your own. If you're not lucky, they may teleport to your ship and eliminate you.</p>
<p>You can equip the ship with different lasers, radars, radar jammers, engines or cloaks each with many different power levels. Alternatively, you can combine them with yourself making you a better killing machine. The player is equipped with different types of PSI-abilities and weapons.</p>

<p>Many of the features that players have come to expect in a baseball game are featured in this early edition of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Triple+Play">the Triple Play series</a>.</p>
<p>A manager mode that allows players to be traded just like in real baseball is included. Since the game is licensed by the MLB and players associations, it has all the teams and players of the 1997 season.</p>
<p>Game modes include exhibition, series play, all-star playoffs, and full and partial season play - in which players also sustain injuries and go on hot and cold streaks. The Home Run Derby is an additional feature.</p>

<p><em>D.O.G.</em> is a third-person shooter with vehicles and turrets to use. The game doesn't have a story, you just select a mission that you can afford (you get money from completing missions), kill everyone/everything in it and continue to the next mission.</p>
<p>The engine uses voxels, so you can blast the ground with few different weapons, like flamethrower, chaingun, grenade launcher and rocker launcher. Picking up powerups for yourself and your vehicle ease your way on the devastation.</p>

<p>This is an early compilation of the Wing Commander series that includes the following games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1104/wing-commander-the-secret-missions/">Wing Commander: The Secret Missions</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1105/wing-commander-the-secret-missions-2-crusade/">Wing Commander: The Secret Missions 2 - Crusade</a></li>
</ul>

<p>In 2097, the mining of minerals and other natural resources is completely automated and controlled by supercomputers. The planets that are mined for 'Iberium', an essential mineral to control pollution on Earth, are called Z.A.R.; Zones for Artificial Resources. The 'central computer' that controls all of the mining robots is hit by a meteorite and enters a frenzy. It starts building robots with weapons, intent on conquering more planets. A single soldier, Colonel Hermit, is sent to deal with this threat. </p>
<p>The mission objectives are rather simple, most often requiring the destruction of a number of installations or robots. Sometimes you will need to protect valuable cargo. Environments are diverse, including water-covered planets, deserts, volcanic areas, etc. Weapons and other bonus items are found on the planet surface. Jumping can be done using a booster or simply by using your legs. Hostile units move over water, ground, in the air and some even jump like a kangaroo.</p>

<p>A third-person driving and shooting game, based on the comic series <em>Xenozoic Tales</em> by Mark Shultz. The game is a rail-shooter, similar to Rocket Science's earliest game <a href="/search/?q=Loadstar">Loadstar</a>.</p>
<p>You find yourself in the so-called Xenozoic Age - after a cataclysm in 2020 A.D., mankind was forced to hide beneath the surface. Once it could come out again, it found the world terribly changed, with dinosaurs roaming freely once again. A mysterious mutant-like race, called the Grith, believe the cataclysm was caused by the upsetting of the natural balance. Now, the leader of the restored City in the Sea, Scharnhorst, is using old technology and disrupting the balance again. The Girth chose you, Jack Tenrec, and your partner Hannah Dundee, to rid the world of Scharnhorst. And you get to do it in a red '53 Cadillac with mounted machine guns.</p>
<p>While you're at the task, you must battle hungry, mean dinosaurs, but also be careful not to upset the balance of nature. Also, try not to upset your volcanic-energy fueled caddy by hitting too much obstacles along the way.</p>
<p>Graphics are a mix of 3D objects and environments and comic-like 2D sprites, but captures much of the original comic book's style.</p>

<p>Created during the golden age of the <a href="/search/?q=Mortal+Kombat">Mortal Kombat franchise</a>, Pong Kombat is a freeware parody of the game combining it with the low-tech <a href="/search/?q=Pong">Pong</a>. There's even a storyline revolving around the ancient powerful white paddle (remember him?) and the multi-coloured younger paddles who would challenge him. There's even talk of a mysterious Monolith, secret character of great power, hidden somewhere in the tournament.</p>
<p>Gameplay is similar to normal Pong but with the exception that each Paddle also has a projectile attack that can harm the opponent. First player to 10 points wins the match and will activate the words "FINISH HIM!" wherein the player has the chance to enter a command sequence and complete that particular paddle's finishing move... gore and all. Just like Mortal Kombat, some levels are dangerous and feature their own special finishing moves which utilize the environment.</p>

<p>You are an explorer trying to gather green gems from more than 100 small dungeons. You have a jetpack and an electric...tazer, phaser, whatever. Your jetpack consumes fuel and extra fuel can be found over the map. You can also pick up enemy freezers and invulnerability powerups. Your tazer thing can cut through some materials to get through the level successfully, but it cannot hurt enemies. You can also use teleporters and ladders. Ice and grass can hinder your progress.</p>

<p>Here is your chance to play football without getting hurt. Unnecessary Roughness puts you in command of your chosen team in an effort to win the football season. With <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/31390/al-michaels/">Al Michaels</a> giving the play-by-play and a 3-D rotating camera that gets you out on the field, this game is a classic.</p>

<p><em>Slam City with Scottie Pippen</em> is a Full-Motion-Video basketball game. It uses proprietary technology to allow switching from one scene to another without lag, which allows for smoother interactive video.</p>
<p>Gameplay is relatively simple, using little more than arrow keys, and is very different from any other basketball simulation. Basketball is merely the subject for the game's plot, involving the new-guy, Ace (the player), and a host of other characters, basketball players or just spectators, all with different personalities. It's basically play one-on-one on a warehouse court and climb the "ladders" until you earn enough respect to play against Scottie Pippen.</p>
<p>The game features a total of 13 characters, 5 of which the player has an option to play against, all of which are played by real actors.</p>

<p>The enemy army has captured too many of your forces. Being held in P.O.W. camps, these soldiers are effectively out of the war... unless some kind of rescue operation can be mounted. Heavy Forces are too slow and visible to be of any use, but perhaps something smaller and lighter may make it in where larger forces would fail. A small jeep, maybe two, crewed by about 4 people.... minimal enough not to represent too much of a loss and yet suitable enough to aid in rescue. But of course, if these brave men want to succeed AND come back alive; they'll need to fight like animals... they'll need to fight like jackals...</p>
<p>Jackal is an overhead view jeep game for up to 2 players. The controller moves in four directions, button A fires your grenades (upgradeable to bazooka) and button B your machine gun which ALWAYS fires to the top of the screen. Your mission is to locate facilities where soldiers are being held prisoner, rescue as many as possible, and escort them to a safe landing zone where they will be air transported away. After that, you'll need to fight a boss battle against the enemy to progress.</p>
<p>The NES version is not a straight port of the original Arcade game, but rather a remake. The Arcade version is a continuous battlefield, but the NES version is divided into 6 stages with a boss fight at the end of each stage. Also, enemy and hazard placements are quite different between versions.</p>

<p>Bridge Master is a Bridge simulation allowing you either to improve your game play (by playing against the computer or against on-line friends), or to learn how to play Bridge completely from scratch. An on-screen assistant can give you tips on your strategy, or suggestions for the current move.</p>
<p>The game is highly customizable, supporting different bidding conventions, game types, and several "player personalities" - meaning you can set the game style of your computer opponents (active, passive, trump-waster, etc.).</p>

<p>This special CD-ROM edition of <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,2/gameId,902">Jazz Jackrabbit</a> contains the original six episodes and three new ones: "Outta Dis World", "Wild Wabbit", and "Turtle Soup".

<p>In <em>Crossbow</em>, you and several friends are trying to cross many treacherous landscapes in order to retrieve stolen treasures from the castle of the Evil Master. All of the members of your party are unarmed, however you carry a crossbow. Using this, you need to shoot any obstacles or hostile enemies that may get in the way of your friends as they cross the screen. You see the landscape from a first person point of view, and one by one each member of the party will walk from the left to right on the screen. There are many different landscapes that need to be crossed, each with its own variety of dangers. There are deserts with scorpions, ice caverns, jungles with hostile monkeys, a lava spewing volcano, and even the heavily guarded castle. The game starts with two friends in your party, with additional friends joining after clearing certain parts of the game. The game ends when everyone in your party has been killed.</p>

<p><em>Whale's Voyage</em> is a sci-fi role-playing game with trading elements. The story involves a space traveler who has made a bad deal buying a space ship known as Whale, which turned out to be half-wrecked. Stranded on the orbit of a remote planet, the traveler and his crew have to find a way to gain money and outfit the ship so that it will stand a chance in that dangerous area.</p>
<p>The game's character creation involves shaping four crew members. Each is generated at first by selecting his or her father and mother, choosing among humans or an alien species that does not appear elsewhere in the game. Educational background chosen for characters determines their class. There are six classes in total: Soldier, Bounty Hunter, Arania, Biochemist, Psionian, and Doctor. Depending on the class, characters gain access to skills such as healing, setting traps, identifying, using computers, etc. Each character also has six main attributes that can be manually improved in the beginning of the game, increasing the character's "mutation level". </p>
<p>In the beginning of the game the player can only explore one planet, but acquiring money allows him to buy fuel and travel to other planets of the local solar system. There are six planets in total, differing in their visual design but all represented as pseudo-3D mazes set in populated areas, which are explored from first-person perspective. Combat takes place in the same area as exploration and is fairly sporadic, usually involving selecting attack options for each player-controlled character and exchanging blows in a turn-based fashion. The player advances by talking to various characters and completing their quests.</p>
<p>Space travel is menu-based. The Whale can be ambushed on the way to another planet, which leads to a turn-based space battle shown on a separate top-down screen. The number of turns is determined by action points of the participants. The player can also outfit the Whale with better engines and weapons. Trading plays an important part, since many objectives are based around amassing money. Buying items on one planet and selling them on another for profit becomes the main source of income.</p>

<p>After personalizing your character, you enter the game where everyone is a suspect. The murder has occurred and whoever did it is nicely camouflaged within the party crowd in the house. However, the time is crucial as you have limited time (2 hours or so) to solve the mystery and make an arrest. With skills at your disposal, you will be able to take fingerprints from almost anything, write in your detective notebook about conversations you find intriguing, and slowly but surely, outlining your suspect. Alas, many love affairs, plots, intrigues and what all not among other characters may be uncovered in your investigations, but that mustn't cloud your judgment for why you are here, to solve the Murder!</p>

<p>Battle Cheese has a Risk-Like interface which features a "cheese" theme. The rules however are significantly different than Risk. You gain points from holding territories and with these points buy units. These different types of units each have their own strengths and weaknesses and are different types of cheese. The goal of Battle Cheese is to take all of the territories (in the shareware version, Europe or North America; registered, maps become available for play in Asia and Australia also) with your units.</p>

<p>Sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/915/solar-winds-the-escape/">Solar Winds: The Escape</a>, you play the role of Jake Stone, a bounty hunter seeking to save his people from destruction. </p>
<p>After being lead into a death trap by your Government, you managed to escape your solar system with the aid of a strange portal. Upon arriving at your destination, you were left waiting for a contact that would help you return home. Now, a year later, the time has come...</p>
<p>You will travel around the galaxy accepting missions in exchange for machinery to upgrade your ship, meeting many beings eager to help or destroy you. It's up to you to determine who you can trust.</p>

<p>Control a Robot Rascal in a turn-based scavenger hunt that mixes strategy, action and board-game elements.</p>
<p>The game included a set of physical cards, which told you what you needed to hunt for in the field or Laustenfownd. The first to find all the objects in their hand of cards wins.</p>
<p>Luck cards can affect the outcome of the game. They give the player the chance to modify their hand, often at the expense of another player. Steal card, Force Swap among players or pass your trash either left or right are examples of the effects of a Luck Card. Each player must draw a Luck card at the beginning of their turn.</p>
<p>The game allows you to choose among 10 different types of robots to use in your hunt, each with their own personality and style. You must also mind the type of terrain you wander into, because some types may damage your robot.</p>
<p>The game also featured handicapping options, and, like most common card games, featured many variations of the original game by changing the way the cards are discarded, exchanged or displayed on the board.</p>

<p><em>Ball Blazing Fantasy</em> is a retro arcade game where the player controls a ball. It features two completely different modes: The Quest and Ball Blazing Fantasy. The Quest is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2047/rock-n-roll/">Rock 'n Roll</a>, but here player has to collect minerals present in various levels, while Ball Blaze is like one on one soccer where the players are balls too.</p>

<p>Early into the 24th century man was on the verge of extinction. Before stellar colonization, war loomed close on Earth as its people cried out in their millions for food. Then, we were visited.</p>
<p>The Krellans came to our aid like avatars from the far reaches of space to teach us their way to live with ourselves in union.</p>
<p>With them, the Krellans brought a new wave of technology, unprecedented medicine, and best of all, the wisdom of peace. Farming and agricultural needs were met and bettered with their help in our colonisation plans. No more would man starve or fight for an acre of corn.</p>
<p>Our new found friends slowly led us away from Earth and taught us the ways to perfect terra-forming techniques to solve our ever constant population and resource needs. Since the Krellans first made contact with man many new worlds have echoed to the sound of man's foot fall and we now stand at the threshold of the entire galaxy. In this, man's new hour we live as man was intended...peacefully.</p>
<p>The year is 2425. This is the golden age of man, a time of hope. But given time, any foundation can crumble...</p>
<p>A first person SciFi-Simulation … as an young rookie pilot you have to prove yourself in 11 campaigns, each with 4 highly strategic missions. You have hatred in your heart and become driven by one compulsion … RETRIBUTION !</p>

<p>MIS, the FBI, NASA, the KGB, MOSSAD and even top secret agents from the North Beckinsdale Pigeon Fancier's Association swung into action immediately. They were swiftly halted in their tracks when they received a top level order warning of a massive campaign of bribery of government officials in all countries. It appeared that any overt attempt to destroy SPUDD would result in the downfall of most of the world's governments. SPUDD-controlled leaders would soon rise to replace them.</p>
<p>As the situation has worsened by the day, and SPUDD's forces have grown from strength to strength, the various agencies have now put together an underground task force which they hope will combat the growing threat. This elite task force comprises one agent (yourself - nice of you to volunteer by the way), a highly trained mechanic called Harry, and a field support officer to assign missions. The plan is that you will "borrow" aircraft from local air forces and carry out secret strike missions on SPUDD forces while they are still small enough to have to stay hidden. Hopefully, by damaging their supply lines, factories and control centres, you should be able to ruin their plans of world domination. However, if you wreck too many expensive aircraft, your sponsors will not be able to cover for you, resulting in your sent back to the secret agent's Basic Training School.</p>
<p>In <em>Jetstrike</em> you must stop the devious SPUDD forces by attacking them with your "borrowed" aircraft. Your Commanding Officer will give you a mission objective which you have to try to achieve without being shot down, blown up or crashing into mountains.</p>
<p><em>Jetstrike</em> is an 2D side-scrolling action game like Brøderbund’s <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2215/wings-of-fury/">Wings of Fury</a>. The great difference between these games is, in <em>Jetstrike</em> it’s possible to use 32 aircraft and 6 helicopters in several combat-missions or to be a part of the Aerolympics.</p>

<p>The year is 2053. You come to MeCha Island, home to beautiful women and deadly sports. You have $5000 cash. You decide to participate in the Robo Fighting Tournament. But the more you fight, the more you understand there is some secret connected to the very existence of MeCha island.</p>

<p>In <em>Exodus</em> you need to guide Moses through 100 different levels in order to reach the promised land. The gameplay features an action/strategy part similar to <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a>, and a question part. In the action part, you need to collect five question marks and enough Manna to open the exit of the maze-like screens. There are a variety of boulders, walls, dirt, and other obstacles in the way. Some obstacles can be destroyed when moses uses his staff to say the word of god, other obstacles can be pushed out of the way, and some you must find a way around. You need to be careful when navigating around the screens, if you cause any boulders to fall and they land on you a life is lost. Also wandering about are a variety of enemies which can be destroyed or avoided, but will cost you one life if you get caught. When you find all the question marks and manna you need, the exit appears and you can move on to the question phase. Here you will be asked five multiple choice questions about the book of Exodus. Answering the questions correctly will reward you with bonuses, such as extra lives.</p>

<p><em>Millennium: Return to Earth</em> is the forerunner to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13123/deuteros-the-next-millennium/">Deuteros: The Next Millennium</a> and has a premise similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/22646/sierra/">Sierra's</a> <a href="/search/?q=Outpost">Outpost</a>.

<p>Following the events described in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Yendorian+Tales+Book+I%3A+Chapter+2">Yendorian Tales Book I: Chapter 2</a>, the seal on the wizard Paltivar has been broken, and his return to the lands of Yendor is imminent. However, as dire as the threat from the great wizard is, the kingdoms in the land of Thaine are on the brink of war themselves and must be pacified if the wizard's threat is to be averted.</p>
<p><em>Yendorian Tales: The Tyrants of Thaine</em> plays very similarly to its predecessor. The player is able to form a party of up to four characters belonging to any of the nine available classes, which are divided into three categories (non-magic, cleric, and wizard). Skills can be distributed among the characters; these comprise combat-related abilities (projectile, slashing, casting etc.), as well as those required to deal with the environment and various NPCs populating the game world (such as survival, mapping, repair, thievery, and others).</p>

<p><em>War Inc.</em> is a real time strategy game, featuring tech research for components used to build your own combat units.

<p>20 mission single player campaign, and multiplayer support over IPX.</p>

<p>The island nation of Yendor is having problems. Monsters plague the land and various nobles are on the brink of war. This has to be dealt with quickly by a brave adventurer of some sort, and in fact the Society of Wizards is willing to aid one in ridding Yendor's problems. The wizards have their own agenda as well, they need to recover the stolen orb of the wizard, Zamora.</p>
<p><em>Yendorian Tales Book I</em> is an overhead view fantasy role-playing game. The player can create and control a party of up to six characters belonging to a variety of classes. Interaction with the NPCs is performed by typing in conversation themes, similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=ultima">Ultima</a> games. Combat takes place on separate screens; the player-controlled party and the opponents move on the battle screen in a turn-based fashion.</p>

<p>Following the events from the first <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Yendorian+Tales+Book+I">Yendorian Tales</a> game, the Orb of Zamora has been returned but almost instantly a new threat rises up. The mist surrounding the lost islands of Yendor has vanished and a group of powerful wizards have invaded a mine in mountains rumored to have magical properties. Some new scheme is afoot! And it's up to your brave band of adventurers to defeat monsters and villains before things get out of hand.</p>
<p><em>Yendorian Tales Book I: Chapter 2</em> is a fantasy role-playing game in which the player either controls a party of four pre-made characters, or creates his/her own adventurers. There are nine character classes, sub-divided into three categories: non-magic, cleric, and wizard. Characters also have individual skills, ranging from combat abilities (such as slashing, bashing, etc.) to talents that can be employed during interaction with NPCs (such as bartering, linguistics, etc.). Unlike its predecessor, the game features a pseudo-3D world viewed from first-person perspective. Combat system has also been re-vamped, the battles now proceeding in real time, taking place on the exploration screen, similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Eye+of+the+Beholder">Eye of the Beholder</a> games.</p>

<p>The arcade game is back!  Destroy those aliens before they destroy you.  With three lives, you must fight back at the aliens with your space ship as they come closer and closer.  Can you wipe them out before they wipe you out?</p>
<p>A screen full of aliens coming closer and closer is not the easiest situation to be in.  As the aliens get closer, their speed will increase, making it very difficult to stop them.  Good hunting!</p>

<p>Somewhat similar to Space Invaders, you pilot a craft that is flying through space while avoiding pieces of your destroyed planet and being shot by the alien space craft who destroyed your planet.  You must destroy those craft before running out of fuel.  Rather than a full screen of enemies to destroy, you start out the game only needing to fight two spaceships... but that is just the beginning.</p>

<p>An educational game that taught the player how life started on Earth, how biologists classify life, and how the primordial soup evolved into the first multi-cellular life forms and then simple organisms. </p>
<p>It featured two mini-puzzle games with 8bit graphics and sounds. The most interesting part was what I could only compare to a primitive, but still neat little version of the game of life. It let you create simple viruses, bacteria, and amoeba-like organisms using random seeds. You could then watch the items replicate and eat, and eventually die, all in 8bit color and in DOS.</p>

<p><strong>"U.S.S. John Young"</strong> is a 2D naval simulation with many action components. In 1995, the political situation in the Persian Gulf is running out of control.

<p>The third game in the long running Derby Stallion series. The game continues the tradition of simulating being a stable owner and breeding, training, then entering horsed into a race. Any purse money earned can then be recycled into breeding even faster horses. Training and breeding is very important in this game as the player has no actual control of the horse during a race.</p>
<p>This version of the game introduces self breeding mares (generations can be repeated) and a Stakes Race mode.</p>

<p><em>Goal!</em> takes the basic gameplay of Dino Dini's previous <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Kick+Off">Kick Off</a> games, but updates most features in some way. </p>

<p>Would you like to try playing RISK without knowing how many armies your opponent controls?  Here is your chance.</p>
<p>Blind Wars is very similar to RISK, except that you cannot see your opponents' armies, nor can your opponents see yours.  This makes for unpredictable outcomes to the game.  This game is a four player game, where three of the players are computer-controlled.</p>
<p>Although it is similar to RISK, you are not playing on a true world map.  You play on a group of countries and you are trying to take control of the 77 cities.</p>
<p>Also in the game are various random occurrences that can affect the outcome of the game.  Occurrences such as a city defecting to the enemy, or increased armies in a city or country happen randomly throughout the game making the game even more unpredictable.</p>

<p><em>Crusher</em> is an action puzzle game where you must complete multiple tasks in order to win. You are in a dungeon and must collect 10,000 points before receiving your first objective. To collect points, you must collect diamonds and crush your enemies. While doing so, you must avoid running out of oxygen by collecting oxygen tanks, and you must break through walls using TNT that you find along the way.</p>
<p>The game is played in a 25 room map. Once you get the 10,000 points and receive your first objective, you learn why you are really here: a maiden in distress named Eve. But there is more - play the game to find out all the various objectives you must complete to win it.</p>

<p>Based on a pen and paper game often called Squares, your objective in Dotso is to create squares by completing lines between dots.</p>
<p>The game creates a random board of dots and lines for you to start with.  On your turn, you can create a single line between two dots either vertically or horizontally.  If you are able to complete a square with that line, then you get to place another line.  Every time you create a square, you get to place another line.  When you cannot create another square, your opponent takes a turn.</p>
<p>In the beginning, you are mostly just placing lines here and there where you feel it is best.  Once you can no longer place more lines without giving your opponent the opportunity to create a square, then the game gets challenging as you must find out how to let your opponent get as few squares as possible while getting as many squares as you can for yourself.</p>

<p>This strange piece of software that, as the name states, allows you to host your very own murder party.</p>
<p>Murder parties, so it seems, are a cross between a party game and a theatrical play, very popular for more than a hundred years now. The host gathers a great amount of fictional facts and clues, and hands it to the players/actors in turns. At the end, every player (and/or spectators) try to guess who among the players is the murderer, and how he did it and what was the motive. The winner is he who gets the most facts right, or, in case no one can guess right, the murderer wins.</p>
<p>The software is the ultimate tool for the murder party host. You simply input a large amount of data from the guests of your future party, and it automatically mixes their data with the story and generates a murder, motives and a large amount of clues, all to be printed into personal booklets for each player. It even generates the invitations to be mailed to the guests. It also provides a good share of hints on how to host a better murder party, with advice ranging from mood setting, music and costumes to even handing out recipes for three-course dinners. Once the booklets have been printed out, though, the computer is no longer necessary, and it's all up to the host and guests to make the party happen.</p>
<p>It features two built in scenarios, Empire and Big Kill, each with different stories, characters and settings. And with each time the murderer and motives being generated at random, it makes for a good deal of parties to take place. Up to 8 players can join the fun.</p>

<p>Fantastic Fossils was an educational game title released as shareware in 1991. It had an all-ages theme. The educational aspect offered much information and depth, and the games after each section were used to reinforce what you had learned. It had fossil and bone puzzles, matching games, and classification games. It also had a very detailed "fossil dig" game where you could excavate and preserve your findings like real archaeologists. The Fossil Gallery in Fantastic Fossils was very large and had 200 fully cataloged fossil images in 8 bit color with synthesized audio and sound effects.</p>

<p>Fantastic Fossils II was an educational game released as shareware in 1993. Much like the first FF, it had an all-ages theme. The educational aspect offered much information and depth, and the games were used to reinforce the material. It had fossil and bone guessing puzzles, a dinosaur bone matching game, and a classification game. It also had a very detailed "fossil dig" game much like the first, where you could excavate and preserve your findings like real archaeologists. The Fossil Gallery in Fantastic Fossils II contained hundreds of fully cataloged fossil images in 8 bit color, and had a synthesized audio pronunciator that would say the names of each fossil you were looking at.</p>

<p><em>Tunneler</em> is an early two-player, split-screen tank game. Two players are randomly placed underground. The object is to destroy your opponent before your opponent destroys you. Unfortunately, you have to find your opponent first.</p>
<p>Being underground, you must tunnel your way around in search of your opponent. If you happen to find your opponent's tunnel system, you can follow it to where your opponent is... if you choose to go the right way down the tunnel. Your opponent will be trying to do the same things, so making your tunnel have dead ends and switchbacks can be a useful strategy.</p>
<p>Remember, that since this is split-screen, both you and your opponent can see what the other person is doing. That doesn't mean you can easily find each other, but it does mean that as soon as you find your opponent's tunnel, they will know about it. And they will have the advantage of knowing where you are in their tunnel while you are stuck choosing which way to go down the tunnel.</p>

<p><em>Super Noah's Ark 3-D</em> is a First Person Shooter based on the <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein</a> engine with a biblical twist.</p>
<p>As Noah, the player travels around the Ark feeding the restless animals in order to put them to sleep; this is achieved by firing feed (ammo) at them using a variety of hand catapults.</p>
<p>The SNES version is largely a reskin of the SNES version of Wolfenstein 3D, the only notable difference being slightly altered behaviour for a couple of bad guys. Even your weapons are reskins that behave exactly like the guns from Wolf3D; Noah must be very skilled to operate a catapult at the speed of a machine gun!.</p>
<p>The PC version however, while still a reskin of Wolf3D in gameplay has some more advanced features; higher resolution graphics (along the lines of the Jaguar and 3DO versions of <a href="/search/?q=wolfenstein-3d_">the game</a>, albeit with all 8 directions like the original PC version), midi music support, floor textures (like <a href="/search/?q=blake-stone-aliens-of-gold">Blake Stone</a>) and a new game play feature in the form of a question mark pickup; picking one up pauses the game and brings up a random multiple choice question about content in the bible. Answer the question correctly and you get a bunch of ammo and points.</p>

<p>In an unique and interesting experiment, German department store giant Karstadt created a game that was advertisement and job recruitment in one box, and used its retail power to push it in the market at mid-price level.</p>
<p><em>Space Job</em> is in essence a scifi life simulation; a 2350 adolescent strives for the fastest spaceship, the most beautiful girlfriend and the best career, but strictly within the confines of Karstadt's interplanetary empire. Starting as a trainee in one of four department store sections, you earn job reputation through stoic repetition of menial tasks - learning product prices by heart, sorting items in shelves, tidying up the storeroom in a <a href="/search/?q=Sobokab">Sokoban</a>-style crate pushing subgame.</p>
<p>The quicker you do your daily chores, the more time remains for entertainment and private development - fitness training, gambling, movies, flirting, night school. An energy system balances your daily activities with periods of rest. Show endurance and personal progress, and promotion will unlock the full glory of department store management.</p>
<p>Despite its advertising character and indecent product placement, <em>Space Job</em> mediates commercialism with lots of tongue-in-cheek humor and light-hearted wordplay.</p>

<p>It is the year 2123. The genetically-programmed warriors of the Andromedan Hegemony are making the first moves to enforce their government's greatest desire: the takeover of the United Planets of Solaria's fantastically wealthy new mines in the Asteroid Belt. On Earth, capitol of the United Planets, military and political leaders are beginning frantic efforts to marshal human and material resources to fight off the alien onslaught.</p>
<p>There is a knock at the front entrance to your dwelling. You open the door, only half-surprised to see that your visitor is a courier robot, painted in the distinctive blue-and-white uniform colors of the Solarian Armed Forces. It registers your palm-print on its signature pad, then passes you a sealed file container. You know without opening the file that it contains a draft notice and briefing materials. In a few hours you will be in the cockpit of a Katana single-seat interceptor, perhaps fighting for your life against the invading Andromedans....</p>
<p>So the stage is set for <strong><em>Deep Space -- Operation Copernicus</em></strong>. As the pilot of a Katana war vessel, you will have your choice of four missions to test your skill and tactics flying--and fighting--amid the hurtling debris of the asteroid cluster known as the Trojan Group. Survival is up to you!</p>

<p>The <em>Adventure Hall of Fame</em> bundle contains six full titles on nine discs. The term adventure is used loosely, as it contains a mix of pure adventure games, adventure RPGs and action RPGs. The included games are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1133/broken-sword-the-smoking-mirror/">Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror</a> (not included in the French release)</li>

</ul>
<p>The manuals are offered on a complementary disc and some patches are included as well.</p>

<p>A football game that can be played in a realistic 3D environment, with motion-captured animations or in a classic 2D arcade style familiar to those who have played the previous Kick Off games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2790/kick-off-2/">Kick Off 2</a>. The game offers 307 teams and 5,200 players to choose from. Among the features there is the ability to create your own teams, leagues and cups, intelligent computer opposition, the option to save your replays and the motions of Patrick Vieira, David Seaman and Ian Wright. The game also has a lot of options for speed and graphics making it very adjustable.</p>

<p>It might be a "battle of colours", two "enemies" engaging in a "fight" to "conquer the territory" on the "battlefield". Or, despite Infogrames' martial marketing efforts, <em>7 Colors</em> might just be a puzzle game with brightly colored diamonds. </p>
<p>In the wake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/533681/alexey-l-pajitnov/">Alexey Pajitnov</a>'s block-busting <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>, Infogrames licensed another Russian mathematician's concept for a game of logic and dexterity: Two players start from opposite ends of a board, filled with rectangles of seven different colors, and take turns in picking one of these colors. All diamonds of that color bordering on the player's territory are annexed, expanding the borders. Whoever first controls more than half of the terrain wins.</p>
<p>Some quirks add tactical depth: The color chosen is locked for the opponent for one turn; drawing lines from one border of the field to another fills all the space in between. In addition, boards come in various diamond sizes, color textures, and obstacle stones. A (generous) time limit exerts soft pressure.</p>
<p><em>7 Colors</em> can be played against the computer or a human opponent, even over a local network - a rare feature at the time. Ambitious players may design their own boards with the included editor.</p>

<p><em>Airstrike USA</em> is an arcade action flight game, where you fly the ATF (Advanced Tactical Fighter) on various missions around the world.
Missions include destroying enemy submarines, radars, aircraft, bases, etc.
In the game, you watch your ATF from behind with a very simplified instrument panel at the bottom of the screen.</p>

<p>In the 21st century, the world is virtually ruled by the drug barons. Your mission is to equip and position three squads of elite cops on the perimeter, and guide them through the enemy's network of tunnels. Once through you must level the factory with explosives.</p>
<p>The loadout and starting positions are predefined, but you can change the loadout, choosing from two types of ammo, three types of rockets, explosives, first aid kits, transporters, and armor.</p>
<p>The game plays like a strategic third person shooter. You control the commander of the current squad, and can switch between the three. Also, there are computer terminals scattered around that can turn off some of the automated defenses and cameras.</p>

<p>Fight as either Red Beard or One Eye through various pirate themed levels, like ships and forts, and even some non-pirate themed levels, battling ninjas, skeletons, and others in a quest to get back your hard earned money from an evil wizard. You can also fight side by side with a friend (who controls the pirate you didn't choose).</p>
<p>Fighting works like fencing, with a few different moves to use, including parrying. The levels scroll through with a boss at the end of each. You gain money by vanquishing foes and digging for treasure where X marks the spot.</p>

<p><em>DOOM 2D</em> is, as the name suggests, a 2D game styled after <a href="/search/?q=Doom:+Evil+Unleashed">DOOM</a>. Most of the graphics and sounds are ripped straight from the original wads, and used to create a 2D platformer.</p>
<p>The storyline is presumably much the same (and even more sparse), shoot the hell spawn and save the world.
Gameplay goes much like many other platform shooters, shooting the bad guys, pushing buttons, collecting the various weapons and powerups.</p>
<p>It's DOOM, but not as we know it.</p>

<p>You control Mike the Explorer as he makes his way through the treacherous Pyramids of Egypt.  There are 100 cobra-filled chambers to live through, starting gas fires to burn the snakes as often as you can.  Collect all the jewels in a chamber and you can exit and continue your thievery in another dangerous chamber.</p>

<p>The battle for Chromos continues in this add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5812/battle-isle/">Battle Isle</a>. It features 24 new maps for play against the computer, 8 new two-player maps and two new landscape types: ice and desert.</p>
<p>The gameplay is the same as in the original game. On a split screen, one player moves his units while the other player attacks and vice versa. A map is won when all enemy units are destroyed or the enemy headquarters are captured.</p>

<p><em>"The Demon King descends from his mountain domain to you, the First Samurai and your master. Defenceless against the Demon's magic, you succumb to his powers, leaving your Master to fight the Demon King alone. Your master falls in combat, dying. But, with his last breath, he summons the Wizard Mage. The Demon King fearing defeat, escapes to the future. Tormented, the young samurai seeks the teachings of the Wizard Mage in the ways of magic. Boiled with revenge and armed with a magical sword, the young samurai follows the Demon King into the future and the unknown..."</em></p>
<p>The First Samurai is a platform action game very much similar to other platform games, but with a medieval oriental touch to it in addition to various unique features.</p>
<p>Arriving in the new unknown land, you are defenceless hence your fists and kicks. But as you journey forth, you'll find your trusty magical sword as well as throwing weapons such as knives and axes. With your martial art skills, your enemy best beware with those sudden moves that may prove fatal!</p>
<p>The First Samurai offers a wide array of weapons, special items and other objects. Combat is usually melee, either relying on your punch or kicks or using the magical sword to slash some pretty skillful blows in whatever direction possible.</p>
<p>Monsters are forever regenerating but food for health is plentiful. It actually takes an effort to be killed...</p>

<p>A simple adventure game for young players where you play Snoopy as the main character solving various puzzles in the area.</p>
<p>The basic idea is manipulating objects by picking them up and dropping them at certain areas, which will result in a new sequence to the plot. </p>
<p>You can use either a keyboard or joystick to play the game and there are only 5 actions you can perform: Move left, Move right, Jump, Pickup/Drop and Object Information.</p>

<p>The original <em>Neverwinter Nights</em> was the first <em>Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons</em> (AD&amp;D) Role Playing Game to go online (pay to play), and was hosted by America Online (AOL). </p>
<p>Situated in the city of Neverwinter and the more than 20 surrounding regions/areas, the game itself was similar to other official AD&amp;D <em>Forgotten Realms</em> games of its time. As it was an online game it had several additional menus for online purposes, as well as features unknown to standard AD&amp;D games of the time, such as the ability to teleport from one region/area to another. </p>
<p>Although most of the game play focused on role playing with other online players, it is still possible to play the game offline.</p>

<p><em>Princess Maker</em> is the first of Gainax' "princess-raising simulation" game series.</p>
<p>You are a noble warrior who has just saved your kingdom from an invasion by the terrible Demon Lord. The grateful king offers you to choose any reward you wish for your brave deed. But instead of opting for half of the kingdom or the riches of the land, you ask the king for the permission to raise a poor little orphan girl named Maria. </p>
<p>And so the game begins. You are the one who has to build Maria's future. Of course, you can do it in many ways. You can strive to make a real princess out of her, teach her good manners, study arts, to make her a brave fighter like yourself, or just a lazy bimbo who cares for nothing. Her destiny is in your hands!</p>

<p>Swing is a Tetris inspired puzzle game:
At the top of the screen you see two lines of eight balls ("spheres") in different colors and weights (shown as numbers). At the bottom are four scales. 
You can transport and put down one sphere at the same time through a grey device between the two parts described above. Three spheres of the same color side by side will disappear and give you points; all other same spheres in vertical or horizontal neighborhood to this three will also vanish (combos)!
The clue are the scales because of imbalance they go up or down and can catapult the spheres over the whole area! And there can be highest only eight spheres on one scale pan - otherwise game over. Later in a game there will be more and more colors and special items.
The multiplayer mode is even more funny because there you have to make big combos for better items which you can catapult into your opponents area!</p>

<p><em>Conquest of Japan</em> is a strategy title in which the player must conquer their opponents' cities on the Island of Honshu in 16th century Japan. The ten cities must be occupied to win, which can be done by forming armies to defend their five cities and attack those of the opponents. When a city is taken, any mobile army that came from that city is automatically disbanded. In this way, potentially overwhelming forces can be routed by conquering their cities -- but only if the player can conquer the city before its army reaches its target. Depending on how the cities are located at the start of the game, players may find this to be a key part of their campaign strategy. When armies battle, the game switches from the strategic map to a tactical one. Formations, unit orders, and morale are factors in the tactical battles.</p>

<p>In this sequel to <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,2/gameId,4829/">Larry Vales: Traffic Division</a>, Larry is still a measly traffic officer while his partner got all the credit for his heroic acts. Larry soon gets fired as well as finds out that his girlfriend killed herself...or not. Larry must investigate his girlfriend's death as a vigilante, and encounters a sinister conspiracy.</p>
<p>Like its predecessor, Larry Vales II is a point and click adventure game made with the AGS engine.</p>

Many of your enemies are based on creatures from Chinese myths. During your journey, you can pick up power-ups and acquire new weapons as well.</p>

<p><em>Double Dare</em> is the computer version of the game show originally hosted by Marc Summers. Like the TV show, the game is basically a trivia game with the added enhancement of being able to answer the question, or take a dare. Dares consist of the Toss-up Challenge, the Physical Challenge, and in the last round, the Obstacle Course. Questions are varied, and in large enough number to avoid excessive repetition even over several games worth of play.</p>

<p><em>Fighting for Rome</em> is a real-time war game of tactical battles between Roman legions. Battles are fought on one of three different terrain maps with armies of selectable size and content. Units available include foot soldiers, archers, and cavalry. Game play can be paused to give orders, and generals may rally troops.</p>

<p>The galaxy is a rough place and nobody knows this better than General Tegel. He's heading a major offensive to destroy an alien threat known as the K'kistik. But Tegel needs soldiers. Good soldiers. So he's willing to hire anybody of any race and ship them halfway across the galaxy to get the needed missions done. The toughest soldier for any job will have to be Tegel's Mercenaries.</p>
<p><em>Tegel's Mercenaries</em> is a top-view real-time strategy game. Assigned missions by General Tegel, the player must hire up to six soldiers from Tegel's personnel listing to take on the mission. Each comes with their own equipment which cannot be changed. During gameplay, selecting any of these soldiers, will allow orders to be issued (Move, Use, Attack, Search, Give, Follow). Each mission features it's own objectives to be completed, often with bonus opportunities to earn more money. Money is only used to keep track of the player's score and to hire tougher mercenaries from the personnel list.</p>
<p>The game also contains the Scenario Kit &amp; Working Interface Developer (Skwid) allowing custom missions to be built.</p>

Then place customizable trains onto the track and swap between them to change the switches on the track. There is even a simple trading simulation feature where goods must be transported between destinations on time.</p>
<p>Tracks can be imported from <a href="/search/?q=Design+Your+Own+Train">Design Your Own Train</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/150662/run-your-own-train/">Run Your Own Train</a> or <a href="/search/?q=Train+Library">Train Library</a>.</p>

<p>Iron Seed is a game of strategy in which you must develop the strength and knowledge necessary to unite the free worlds, and defeat the alien horde that threatens the galaxy. You begin with a single ship, and a chosen crew. Research, exploration, and diplomacy, are essential elements for success.

<p>Based on Avalon Hill's board game of the same name, Kingmaker is a strategy game set during the War of the Roses period of medieval England. You can play either York, or Lancaster, and your goal is to get your choice for royal heir crowned king of England. You do this by granting titles to people favorable to your cause, and eliminating those who would oppose it. Kingmaker has a simplistic combat interface, rather concentrating on politics and dirty tricks as the strategies of choice.</p>

<p><em>Panzer Battles</em> is a hex board game style WWII war game. The game is based on the same engine originally used in Battlefront. The included Scenario package has forces and battles involving Soviet, German, British, American forces.You command corps of units in an effort to achieve the objectives laid out in the scenario briefing which follow actual battles during the war.

You must build up your kingdoms infrastructure, grow food, mine minerals, produce building materials, conduct research, and create armies. You may engage in diplomacy with your neighbors, but eventually conquest will become essential for expansion. There is an underlying sub-plot that must be achieved as well, there are nine magical jewels scattered around the land, and you must retrieve at least seven of them to be victorious.</p>

<p>NY Warriors is a top down action game in which you must face various armed gangs in a post apocalyptic New York and finish various missions. The game is heavily influenced by the movie The Warriors. In each mission the player faces a different gang with distinct outfits and characteristics; Ramboids, Sammies, Assasins, Sluggers, Killer Klowns, Ganja and finally Bomber.</p>
<p>A fairly common shooter game, it is fairly true to the formula for such games, lots of enemies, lots of shooting and joystick action. Various weapons can be picked up for use as you progress to enhance your firepower. The atmosphere is maintained with details such as snoring bums and packs of stray dogs, also with some darkly cyber-punkish artwork.</p>

<p>Pilgrim Quest is an educational game in which you play the original Pilgrims bound for America on the Mayflower. You must make the perilous voyage across the Atlantic, find safe harbor, pick a place for the new colony, and manage the development of that colony until it becomes self-sufficient. Exploration, diplomacy with the natives and war are all events which must be dealt with as you struggle to grow your fledgling colony in a hostile environment. The game is primarily strategic, but has some action-arcade sequences thrown into the exploration screens such as fishing, hunting, logging, and fur trapping.</p>

<p>Essentially an update of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/24169/theatre-europe/">8-bit game Theatre Europe</a>, your task is again to play World War 3 scenarios fighting as NATO vs the Warsaw Pact. </p>
<p>The game uses pretty basic handling. While you can access some menus as the bottom of the screen you can see the map on the main part of the screen where each unit is indicated as small square. Your aim, of course, is to eliminate all the enemy units.</p>
<p>Some special actions can be selected, like deploying special units, attack with chemical weapons or even nuclear ones.</p>

<p>A turn-based war game set in World War II that simulates a what-if battle between General Patton and Field Marshal Rommel for control of Normandy, hence the name.</p>
<p>As the war is fought you get points, and the objective, of course is to gather as much points as possible (positive points if you're Allied, negative if you're Axis). Although it's strategical simulation is rather simplistic, taking a more entertaining approach, it has many features, available options and a lot of feedback from the computer (including tips from the computerized Patton's and Rommel's).</p>
<p>The game had a feature very similar to today's well-known Fog-of-War, though it's functionality was not as smooth as it is today. The warzone is divided into Zones of Control, with it's units and actions invisible to the adversary until he attempts to move through it and fight for it.</p>

<p><em>The Playroom</em> is an educational game which is set in the locale of a child's bedroom. Almost everything on the screen can be clicked on, and the child will be rewarded by games, activities, or at least an amusing animation. In this first of what eventually became a trilogy of games including <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11866/the-treehouse/">The Treehouse</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11871/the-backyard/">The Backyard</a>, children are encouraged to use the mouse by the wide range of interactivity with items on the screen. Games and activities encourage creativity, the learning of numbers, and letters, and the development of critical thinking.</p>

<p>How far can you make it in this game of mazes?  The object of the game is to move your character through a maze from start to finish before your points (time) run out.  If you make it through, you get extra points (time) for the next level.</p>
<p>The mazes start out very easy where you can see the path instantly and progress to more and more difficult mazes.  Even if you can complete the maze, will you be able to do so in the time you have remaining?</p>

<p><em>The Treehouse</em> is an educational title that is set in the location of a children's treehouse. This game teaches toddlers numbers, shapes, letters as well as having a special focus on learning about animals, through various activities associated with items located throughout the treehouse. Clicking on any item in the treehouse will start an activity, or, at least begin an animation.</p>
<p>The game is the second in what became a trilogy of games including the first game <a href="/search/?q=The+Playroom">The Playroom</a> and finished with the third title, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11871/the-backyard/">The Backyard</a>.</p>

<p>The Backyard is an educational game for toddlers that is set in a child's backyard. Everything within the backyard can be clicked on, resulting in an activity, or at least an amusing animation.

<p>Wild West World is a strategy game in which you build up an economic empire in the old west of the 1800's. Farming, ranching, mining, and hunting, are all methods for generating cash to buy land and build your economic empire. Employees of various trades must be hired, farms, ranches, and mines established, and all must be kept supplied with livestock, food, and tools.

The game has a built in editor, in which you can edit either the battle forces, or the map the battle will be played on, allowing for extended replay value.</p>

<p><em>Spell Castle</em> is an educational game designed to improve spelling and typing skills. During the game, words will appear from the top of a castle and float downwards. You need to type in the words correctly before they reach the bottom of the screen and destroy your drawbridge. There are several difficulty levels you can choose from; the words can be anywhere from three to nine letters long, and you can optionally have the words jumbled to make figuring them out more difficult. Included is a list of approximately 6000 words, or you can create your own word list.</p>

<p><em>Monkey Business</em> is a puzzle game featuring a variant of the 'Towers of Hanoi' tile game. The player needs to help a stack of monkeys retrieve two apples from a tree. They are only allowed to move one monkey at a time, and players may only arrange the monkeys such that a smaller monkey is on top of a larger monkey. There are three locations the monkeys may be moved to, and by moving the monkeys around to the different locations, players can re-stack them under an apple so they may pick it. When both apples have been picked, the level is complete. The score is based on the number of moves it takes to complete this task. There are three skill levels, each of which have a different number of monkeys that must be manipulated.</p>

<p>Using the game engine from <a href="/search/?q=147+3D+Snooker">Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker</a>, this game recreates pool in minute detail. A bold 3D graphics engine with realistic physics and millions of shot permutations (in terms of direction, speed and spin) is at the heart of it. Three versions of pool are offered - UK and US 8-ball as well as the fast-paced all-action 9-ball game.</p>
<p>There are 20 computer opponents, with the hardest of them being almost unbeatable, as well as two-player and trick-shot modes. Unlike the original release of <em>Whirlwind Snooker</em>, you can save more than one game on the disk at a time.</p>

<p>In this sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14455/shadowlands/">Shadowlands</a>, you find yourself commanding a team of explorers through a deserted space-station, trying to discover what happened to the crew. Along the way you must solve puzzles, fight baddies and do masses and masses of exploring.</p>
<p>You have four characters to control in this real time RPG, and the designers have done their best to remove all the numbers usually involved in RPG's (dexterity/wisdom etc) and replaced them with friendlier looking graphical bars. Another good idea is the way you can put your characters in formation instead of having to move them one at a time. The other big innovative game system is the clever use of light: Teque's "Photoscaping" system which means you can only see a few feet in front of you and you can use flares and torches to light up areas.</p>

<p><em>Locomotion</em> is an arcade-puzzle game in which you are presented with a top-down view of a railway network with a number of stations and junctions. Trains are released from stations at random intervals, each with a destination station. Your job is to get a set number of them to this destination within a time limit. </p>
<p>You control a cursor which can click on each of the junctions, toggling their positions. When trains reach a junction which is not set in a direction they can move through, they will stop until you move it. When they reach the wrong station they simply reverse and continue. If two trains make contact, they are lost, and a penalty is accrued.</p>

<p>This puzzle game features four players, any number of which can be human or computer, and is viewed from an isometric perspective. The basic gameplay is very similar to Virgin's <a href="/search/?q=Spot">Spot</a> license. Your aim is to take control of the largest area of the board, which is done by moving your pieces so as for them to be next to pieces of another colour, which will then become your colour. There are three types of move – short moves which also see you retain the square you were in, jumps in which you lose the previous square, and moves using the teleporting device to move a larger distance. There are over 100 levels, which needn't be played in sequence. The board layouts feature gaps in, which must be incorporated into your strategy, to ensure that you don't leave a space next to a large number of your pieces, which would allow an opponent to swallow them up.</p>

<p>Squash simulations are something of a rarity, and it was this niché that Krisalis aimed one of their many sports simulations into. The rules of squash are accurately recreated, with a realistic court layout (viewed isometrically) and a need to hit legal shots. Three different ball speeds, variable match lengths and an 'easy' mode are on offer. Different tournament types are on offer, at 'club' and 'tournament' levels, with a customisable ladder system of multiple divisions to rise up. There is a full roster of opponents to play in one-off or tournament modes.</p>

<p>The world has been enslaved by Murk, and you've got to free it by collecting the seven fragments of a tablet which are in the possession of seven wizards who inhabit seven towers.</p>
<p><em>Blade Warrior</em> is a unique game in two ways, the most obvious being the graphics. Everything in this game is seen in silhouette - as you wander around looking for magical items and killing baddies, all you see is your silhouette and the silhouette of everything around you. The background is made up of a night sky, with clouds and hills.</p>
<p>Secondly, the game is an unusual mix of adventuring and battling. On your way to collecting magical items and exploring the huge ingame map, you're assaulted by baddies. Then, once you have collected certain artifacts, you can conjure up spells (so long as you have the recipe) back in your tower, trade with wizards for those all important tablet pieces and get clues to the next important artifacts.</p>

<p>A simple variation of the classic game of Mahjongg (also known as <a href="/search/?q=Shanghai">Shanghai</a>). Each of the 40 levels consist of rows and piles of tiles, patterned with symbols such as butterflies and masks. Pair them up within the time limit to move on a level. The difficulty is that a tile can only be moved if it has no tile on top of it, and a gap either to the left or right (or both). Careful planning ahead is required if all tiles are to be cleared.</p>

<p><em>Sliders</em> is a simple futuristic sports game that isn't a world away from <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,19/gameId,466/">Marble Madness</a>. You control a ball over a futuristic landscape, the idea being to find the puck that's hidden somewhere in the level and "herd" it back to your starting point. Sounds simple enough, except for one thing; there's another player (either computer or human) trying to do the same thing.</p>
<p>This results in incredibly hectic gameplay. Add this to the fact that sometimes you're negatively charged to the puck (and thus kick it away) or positively charged (so the puck sticks to you) and you're in for a crazy time!</p>

<p>MicroProse made a change from military simulations by recreating golf in fine detail. This was the first golf game to operate in true 3D. This means that the player's stance and swing technique can be adjusted, and have a significant effect on the shot outcome. Although the manual's tutorial helps, it's harder to master than rivals such as PGA Tour Golf. There are six courses, an unprecedented number for a computer simulation, and tonnes of playing modes.</p>

<p><em>Jabbertalky</em> contains several educational puzzle games where you need to figure out sentences created by the computer. The game can be played by one or more players, and there are eight levels of difficulty available in each of the game modes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Free Verse</strong>: This game mode isn't interactive; the computer will display on the screen various sentences which it creates from either its own vocabulary or one you have created to give an idea of what the selected difficulty will be like in the other game modes.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Alphagrammar</strong>: In this game, the computer will generate a sentence and show you empty spaces where the letters should be. At the top of the screen, the alphabet is listed along with the number of each letter that appears in the sentence. From these clues your goal is to fill in all the letters of the sentence in the shortest time possible.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Cryptogrammar</strong>: In this game, the computer will present you with a jumbled sentence where each letter has been substituted with another letter. To solve the cryptogram you will need to flip letters around, swap the order of letters, or move letters to a new space until you have correctly created the sentence.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Jabbergrammar</strong>: This allows you to customize Jabbertalky by creating new word lists that can be used by the game.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p>German small-town quietness erupts in a whirl of obscure horror, aggression and uninhibited sexuality as an ancient force stirs and warps minds. As Kronstadt drifts into chaos in the course of eleven days in November, a teenager bound to the wheelchair dabbles in Celtic mysticism and discovers his talent for magic. Bourgeois bliss, late-80’s youth culture, occultism and photorealistic nudity mix into a psychedelic nightmare that stands out as the most perplexing German adventure game.</p>
<p>The successor to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16125/holiday-maker/">Holiday Maker</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Stadt+der+L%C3%B6wen">Stadt der Löwen</a>, and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/4542/phoenics/">Phoenics</a>’ (formerly <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/4542/phoenics/">PM Entertainment</a>) third (and last) adventure game, <em>Jonathan</em> was a child of the dusk of Germany’s vibrant Amiga scene, where a maximum of finesse met a new minimum of public interest. </p>
<p><em>Jonathan</em> is unconventional to the brink of schizophrenia, both in style and gameplay. The actual adventure actions in a colorless, messy interface are contrasted with the sumptuous high-res artworks of the frequent cutscenes. Many of these revolve around the members of the protagonist Jonathan’s clique, who are essential to the game – the disabled young man must rely on their help to do things he is unable to do. </p>
<p>As the game switches perspective and explores the minds of Jonathan’s friends, it focuses on their sexuality with a unabashed bluntness that should have shocked the pampered German audience, had anyone bought it.</p>

<p>You are James Bond 007 and you must stop Max Zorin from destroying Silicon Valley and dominating the microchip market. If you fail, Max Zorin will flood Silicon Valley by creating a major earthquake. The gameplay is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1570/james-bond-007-goldfinger/">Goldfinger</a> but it doesn't follow the movie as closely.

<p><em>Ultima I</em> is a remake of the classic RPG <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8812/ultima/"> Ultima</a> from 1981. You must travel to another world and save the land Sosaria from the evil wizard Mondain. The game features tile based top-down overworld graphics and first person perspective pseudo-3D dungeons.</p>
<p>The original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8812/ultima/">Ultima</a> was re-programmed using assembly language, with updated graphics, minor changes in towns' and people's names, and some different puzzles.</p>

<p>Your uncle, Smoke Bailey, was a great adventurer and explorer. In one of his adventures he found "The Most Amazing Thing", an item that holds the secrets of the universe. Unfortunately he lost it somewhere in the Mire. Now he wants you to take up the task and recover the object. </p>
<p>The Mire is a dangerous place, but your uncle has provided you a B-Liner as transportation as well as items you can sell at the auction at Metallica City, where you will use the money you earn to buy equipment for your travels. Good luck!</p>
<p><em>In Search of the Most Amazing Thing</em> is a vast game, where gameplay is usually divided into 2 parts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Diplomacy  </li>
</ul>
<p>Diplomacy consists of how you find clues and information regarding the Most Amazing Thing. Early in the game, you only communicate with your Uncle Smoke to get items from him and sell them at the auction for the highest price. Later in the game when you're adventuring, you will meet numerous strange Mire tribes where you will barter your goods and knowledge for clues to the Most Amazing Thing.</p>
<ul>
<li>Adventuring  </li>
</ul>
<p>The B-Liner is something between a balloon and a beach buggy. The Mire is a very big place and dangerous place, but with the B-Liner you can drive or fly across it in no time. Beware the Mire crabs though!</p>
<p>You have complete control of the course of the game. There is no linear path that you must follow, making this game a new experience every time you play it, as each new game creates a random new world to explore.</p>

<p><em>Crystal Ball</em> is a shareware program that makes predictions about the future! This game features two modes. In the first mode, you may select from a list of predefined questions to see what the crystal ball thinks will happen. Political elections, the future of science, and advances in health and education are among the topics that can be selected. The second variation lets you type in your own questions that you would like a prediction on. In either case, the crystal ball will spend a few moments thinking and then display its prediction. You may choose to save predictions to disk, or print them out. Also included is a vocabulary editor which allows you to edit all of the words available to the crystal ball.</p>

<p>You control Tiny Goodbite, one of the California Raisins. All of your friends have been captured and brought to the cereal factory, and you need to come to the rescue! In this action platform game, you need to climb and jump your way through the many floors of the factory to rescue the raisins. On each level there is a key which needs to be collected so you can unlock the door to the next level. Each level is guarded by various bad guys which should be avoided; your raisin may also become energized and shoot the bad guys after landing on the green platform. Be careful when jumping around; if you fall too far or land on some machinery, your raisin will lose a life! The game ends when you have lost all of your raisins.</p>

<p>Bowser is at it again!  He's using a time machine, called a Timulator, to loot historical artifacts from the past, in order to stock his museum.  He plans to destroy the time machine after, and therefore change the course of history forever.  It's up to Mario to stop Bowser and return all the stolen artifacts to their rightful place in history!</p>

<p>In the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1033/death-sword/">Barbarian / Death Sword</a>, the Wizard Drax is back after your previous defeat of him. But this time, you're not alone. The princess you saved back then has taken up a sword and joined your cause! Now, it's more than a death match. You have to explore the many tunnels in his dungeon, defeat the dangerous monsters that come between you and put cold steel to Drax's throat.</p>
<p>The game has similar game play to the original, but with a different challenge. Various monsters will come and attack you, but you'll need to use different approaches in order to defeat each of them. For example, you can't overhead chop a monster that's shorter than your axe. There are 4 dungeon levels to explore before you reach Drax at the final stage.</p>

<p><em>Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator</em> is an arcade action game where you take control of the Starship Enterprise. Your mission is to save the Federation from NOMAD! Before you get a chance at destroying NOMAD, you'll have to battle your way through ten levels (each consisting of multiple rounds). In each round you may encounter Klingon fighters, deadly anti-matter saucers, asteroid fields, and deadly meteors, all of which are capable of depleting the Enterprises energy. The game ends when your energy supply has completely run out. To fight these dangers, the Enterprise is equipped with an unlimited supply of phasers and a limited supply of photon torpedoes. Each round also contains one or more starbases; if you dock at a starbase, some of your supplies (such as energy and torpedoes) will be replenished. The game is played from two points of view; the top of the screen contains a third person view of the Enterprise (along with the ships gauges), and on the bottom of the screen is a first person point of view</p>

<p>This game plays very similar to <a href="/search/?q=Chip+'N+Dale:+Rescue+Rangers">Chip &amp; Dale's Rescue Rangers</a>.</p>
<p>Tom has mouse-napped Jerry's nephew Tuffy and locked him in a trunk in the attic. You and your furry little buddy Jerry must dash, jump, and climb from the basement up through every level of the house to rescue him in time.</p>
<p>Jerry's main defense is his unlimited supply of marbles. Pick up other items such as bubble gum, meat cleaver, cups of water, moth balls, hammer, invisible ink and drill to overcome the enemies and obstacles in your way. Make sure you outwit Tom whenever he appears.</p>
<p>Look for cheese power-ups and mouse hole bonus stages along the way.</p>

<p><em>Treasure MathStorm!</em> is an educational game designed for kids ages 6 to 8. The Master of Mischief has invented a machine that changes the weather and froze Treasure Mountain! Your goal is to restore the mountain by locating different treasures on the mountain and returning them to the castle at the top. When all the treasures have been restored, the king will have his power back and all of the ice will melt. In order to find treasures and make your way up the mountain, you will need to help the elves solve a variety of math problems. When problems are successfully solved, the elves will then give you clues about treasures, some money which can be used to purchase items in the shops, or some items to help you reach the next level of the mountain. The math problems can include addition, subtraction, multiplication, telling time, counting money, and more. When you have located the treasures and brought them to the castle, you may then advance to a more difficult skill level.</p>

<p><em>Odysseus Kent, an odd little fellow is searching for the Lost Treasure of Randolph McBoing (all based on a map he got from a shadowy guy at the bus stop). Equipped with a trusty shovel and treasure map, the would-be treasure hunter braves the cold and darkness to the supposed site where the treasure lies...at the cemetery in the courtyard of the local church. Suddenly out of the darkness, a mysterious figure appears with a cursing eye! Just his luck, he's caught red-handed by the local priest...Oh, well. Now, he has to find access the hard way, since the priest isn't hiring any novice grave diggers.</em></p>
<p>Another freeware game by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Ben">Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw</a> is a small but humorous adventure game similar to the likes of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Monkey">Monkey Island</a> (you'll notice the resemblance when our hero talks). </p>
<p>The game, like most 3rd Person adventure games, consists of action buttons which you use to interact with your surrounding. Simple as it is, it has your standard Look, Use, Talk, Inventory features.</p>

<p>This interactive fiction game is a trilogy of the Level 9's adventures <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Snowball">Snowball</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23369/return-to-eden/">Return to Eden</a>, and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Worm+in+Paradise">Worm in Paradise</a>. These had previously been released for some but not all of these systems.</p>
<p><em>Silicon Dreams</em> can be played as three separate games, but to obtain the maximum number of points, you must complete them in order (carrying your score from one adventure to the next). <em>Snowball</em> has graphics for the first time, and the other two games have more graphics than before, and some longer text descriptions are added to all 3 games.</p>
<p><strong>Snowball:</strong> As Kim Kimberley, your mission is to safeguard the colonization ship Snowball 9 and its passengers. When you are awakened prematurely from hibernation, you know something's wrong!</p>
<p><strong>Return to Eden:</strong> Your objective is to get into the new city of Enoch, and stop the Eden robots from destroying Snowball 9.</p>
<p><strong>Worm in Paradise:</strong> You have to find as much information about the city as possible, obtain money, and then become a member of the governing party of Eden.</p>

<p><em>Rubik's Cube</em> is a simulation of the popular puzzle game. You are given a cube where each side is broken up into nine sections. Each section has a different color. Your goal is to arrange the cube so that all sections are the same color on each side of the cube by twisting the cube in various directions. The game uses keyboard commands to allow you to select a cube face and twisting direction. You start out with a properly ordered cube; can you scramble the colors and then get them back again?</p>

<p><em>Lost Dutchman's Gold</em> is a text based adventure game. Your goal in the game is to find the legendary lost Dutchman's gold. You begin the game in a miner's shack; searching about, you find a map which seems to indicate where the lost gold is located. Now you'll set out on a dangerous quest through deserts, mountains, and even ghost towns in order to locate the mine where the gold is buried. The ghost of Back-Pack Sam (better known as the computer) will guide you on your quest by providing descriptions and clues. You get around and interact with the game by entering two word commands. Good luck!</p>

<p>Based on the original Judge Dredd pinball machine, this computer version adds some new things to the game to increase the game's appeal.</p>
<p>The game offers multiple graphics settings, the ability to remap keys, and two sound qualities.</p>
<p>In the game itself, you are faced with a partly video and partly standard pinball game with a large loop ramp near the top of the table.</p>
<p>There is one table in the game to play on and you get five balls per game with the possibility of gaining extra balls.</p>

<p><em>C.I.A. Adventure</em> is a text-based adventure game. The player works for the C.I.A. and is assigned to recover a valuable ruby. The ruby is being used in a top secret laser project, but it has been stolen by a spy ring called Chaos! It is believed the ruby is still somewhere in the neighborhood. For this assignment, the player will be working with a partner (the computer). By entering two word commands, the player can tell the computer what to do in order to explore their surroundings and find clues. The player must make sure Chaos doesn't catch them.</p>

<p><em>Maxit</em> is a strategy game for two players or one player against the computer. In the game, there is an 8x8 board; Each space in the board contains a point value. The object of the game is to earn as many points as possible by moving a marker to a non empty space to collect how ever many points are in that space. The first player is only able to move the marker horizontally, and the second player can only move the marker vertically. The board contains both negative and positive point values, so ideally you want to take a high, positive point value and force your opponent to take a negative value. The game ends when no more moves are possible, and the player with more points wins.</p>

<p><em>Zap'em</em> is an action game for one player. You control a spaceship on the left side of the screen which is capable of moving up or down and firing lasers. Coming towards you from the right will be numerous enemy ships. You need to shoot as many of the enemies as you can in order to earn points. While many of the enemy ships take only one shot to destroy, some will require multiple hits and a few will even be ghost ships and can disappear temporarily. Your ship has a limited amount of fuel which will steadily decrease; the game ends when you have no more fuel left.</p>

<p><em>Billy Bat (odd looking bat to say the least) proudly brags that he's the fastest animal in the world. Robby the Rabbit challenges his claim with a bet to race around the world. As Robby the Rabbit races off in a cloud of dust, Billy Bat second guesses himself and takes off...to the airport. Join Billy Bat in his adventures around the world!</em></p>
<p>The primary educational function of the game is to teach children of international cultures. There are four mini games available, where 2 of them are educational:* Matching Game: the matching game consists of matching a country's name with the appropriate flag, national costume/dress and the national building type. The matching game has 6 levels of difficulty to choose from.</p>
<ul>

The first is "Puzzle Completion" is the standard jigsaw puzzle where you are to complete a picture representing the local culture. The second is "Jumbled Puzzle", where you all the pieces are in place and you have to switch the pieces to complete the picture.

</ul>

<p>Based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/116815/ray-bradbury/">Ray Bradbury</a>'s classic science fiction novel <em>Fahrenheit 451</em>.</p>
<p>In a not so distant future, books have become illegal. As Fireman Guy Montag, the player's role is not to save houses, but to burn them for the books inside. However, Guy becomes passionate about books and becomes a rebel, pursued by the authorities. With the help of the Underground, he must survive and save books from complete extinction.</p>
<p>The game acts a sequel to Bradbury's novel. Following the imposition of martial law Montag finds the young woman who inspired his resistance to the established order. With her help he can now track down 34 microcassettes which hold the contents of the New York Public Library, then pass them on to underground members who will memorise the texts.</p>

<p>Based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/2889/arthur-c-clarke/">Arthur C. Clarke</a>'s classic science fiction novel <em>Rendezvous With Rama</em>.</p>
<p>After an uncatalogued giant asteroid is discovered approaching Earth, scientists soon realize that it is in reality an alien starship. As commander of the spaceship Endeavor, and being the nearest to the gargantuan ship, it is up to you to rendezvous with it and explore it before it leaves the Solar system.</p>

<p>The point&amp;click adventure "Das Erbe" (="the inheritance") puts you into the place of a youngster whose uncle dies to leave not only three millions in cash, but also an old house. The catch? You'll only get to the money, if you're able to renovate the mansion without any environmental burdens.</p>
<p>The game was published by German environmental authorities back in 1991 and has since been distributed for free.</p>

<p>In a typical business simulation, your job is to open a restaurant chain. But watch it: to succeed in <em>Energie-Manager</em>, you will have to pay close attention to ecological aspects. Try to win eco prizes, reduce costs with power saving washing machines and water saving toilets.</p>
<p>The game was published by German federal authorities in the early nineties to teach children about eco-conscious business behaviour and has been distributed for free since then.</p>

<p>A quite ordinary football management game similar to an early version of <a href="/search/?q=Championship+Manager">Championship Manager</a>. Like Championship Manager it uses commentary, but highlights are showed using a graphical engine. The game offers you the opportunity to play any team in the English Premier League. You could choose to play with normal teams or to buy all your players from scratch.</p>

<p><a href="/search/?q=5013817010167">Football Manager</a> from Addictive was the first game of its kind, and this sequel followed several years later, absorbing ideas from the many similar games released in between. Teams can now choose formations, and assign man-to-man marking. Players have individual skills and fitness ratings, in a more realistic way, with half-time substitutions and tactical changes supported. The whole 92-club league is incorporated, as is the League Cup alongside the FA Cup. It is now possible to watch and assess the individual performance of the players, with match graphics differentiating the attack / midfield / defense areas more clearly. Training allows passing length and height to be specified.</p>

<p>Princess Alicia of the kingdom of Mitgult is kidnapped by the monster Zawell. It's now up to the heroic warrior Amul to transform himself into a blue dragon and go and rescue the princess.</p>
<p><em>Dragon Spirit</em> is a vertically scrolling shoot-em-up which consists of nine stages. Players fly around and destroy everything in their path. Much like in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11460/xevious/">Xevious</a>, action takes place on two planes, both in the sky (where the dragon is flying) and on the ground. The dragon has two different kind of attacks: fire that shoots up the screen, and fire that drops to hit a place on the ground in front of the dragon. Enemies exist both in the air and on the ground, and some can fly up from the ground to the sky.</p>
<p>Players can pick up power-ups, or upgrades, that will help them in their fight. Upgrades can include extra heads on the dragon, health, faster shots, and more. At the end of each stage is a boss that needs to be defeated. Having good upgrades that are not lost from being hit before reaching the bosses will help.</p>
<p>The NES version is unique in that it presents a somewhat altered story and an additional gameplay mode. Technically, it is a sort of sequel, with "A New Legend" being its subtitle. In this version, Zawell is already defeated and King Amul and his now wife Queen Alicia, have two children named Iris (a princess) and Lace (a prince). A new evil named Galda has decided to attack the Earth. Galda also has taken Iris captive and now Lace must go rescue her. </p>
<p>The NES version also adds a new initial stage. If the player survives it, the game continues in a "Blue Dragon" game much like the original arcade game. If the player fails to clear this initial stage in one life, an easy mode called "Gold Dragon" begins, skipping about half the game's stages, giving the player extra hit points, and features a different ending.</p>
<p>Also of note, the TurboGrafx-16 version's seventh and eighth stage are different than the other versions. The underwater and dark themed stages were changed to castle interior themed stages.</p>

<p><em>Striker</em> is a football (soccer) game with a forced-perspective 3D view. The players are drawn large and there is a large scanner to assist with long passing. The standard mode has the ball sticking closely to the feet, which makes mazy runs upfield a common strategy. There are 64 international teams on offer, with a European-style knock-out cup competition included. Many different formations and strategies are offered.</p>

<p>In <em>Alternate Reality: The City</em>, you are one of many people who have been abducted from earth by aliens and transported to an alternate dimension where you are dumped in a strange, yet familiar city. Your quest is to explore the city, and find the clues that will lead you to your captors and help you get back home. </p>
<p>In addition to standard first-person RPG features of that era, like skills, stats, experience points and a repertoire of shops and places to visit, the game offers moral evaluation of your character, and depending on your actions you become good or evil, and that affects how the environment reacts to you. Encounters are not necessarily just resolved with the turn-based combat system, but you can also try to trick, charm or bribe opponents. The storyline is non-linear, for example allowing you to take a job in order to enhance a particular skill or just to pass away time.</p>

<p>A nearby planet is emitting a dangerous level of pollution, so you must go in to destroy the source. The game is split into three levels, all of which are shoot 'em up based but in different ways. The first level has multi-directional scrolling and a maze aspect. The second is an into the screen 3D section requiring fast reactions. Finally you come to a horizontally scrolling, time-limited side-viewed section as you close in on destroying the emitter.</p>

<p>You guide your frogman down to the chest, grab it, and swim back to your boat. But there are sharks and eels who you should try to avoid. Sharks swim from the right side of the screen to the left side, and eels swim from left to right. On every higher level there will be more sharks and eels. On even higher levels there are also floating mines on chains that you should not touch. To make it even harder you also have a limited supply of air.</p>

<p>A top-down space shooter that was different from most others at the time in that it did not just scroll continuously in one direction, but could scroll at different speeds in all possible directions on the X and Y axis, on the player's whim.</p>
<p>The game takes place above the surface of a ruined, devastated planet: each level starts within a large area, in which your ship has free movement. Avoiding surface hazards, such as auto-aiming turrets, the goal is to destroy enemy spacecraft that hover around the large area in groups. Each wave of attacks is followed by a bomb-dropping mothership, which you must hurry up and destroy before it moves off the playfield, in order to proceed to the next wave; the last mothership gives way to the boss - a gigantic spacecraft that will chase you around the playfield. Beaten it? you are transported to a short section of standard shooter fare, where the screen auto-scrolls vertically, at the end of which you face a final monstrosity. This ends the level - on to the next one.</p>
<p>Absorbing enemy fire will deplete your power, while collecting power-ups and destroying turrets can bring it back up somewhat. At 0% power, the game is over - although you may get an option to continue, based on how far you got.</p>

<p>You are James Bond and with your sidekick Agent XXX who's name is Anya Amasova must stop Karl Stromberg. You must use your skills to end Karl Stromberg's goal of world domination and start a war between east and west. Gameplay-wise it is similar to <a href="/search/?q=Live+and+Let+Die">Live and Let Die</a> except you control your famous Lotus Espirit that can turn into things like a boat and submarine. Your Lotus Espirit is equipped with the usual gadgetry such as a Laser, Missiles, and many other things.</p>

<p>KOPS is a two-dimensional gravitational cave flying game. The game is primarily designed to be multiplayer, but only local split screen game mode is provided. It is best played with 2-4 players on a single computer, but also a single player mode is available, which is suitable mostly for practicing. The original version was released back in 1996 as shareware software. After that the game has been released as a special slimmed down edition for the Disccover game competition. In 2001 the game was ported from DOS to Windows and released as freeware, and a few months later it was also ported to Linux. In 2003 the game has been released as open source, so it is publicly open for further development.</p>

<p>Rallycross racing was once popular on the BBC, featuring super-modified cars racing against each other on tracks combining tarmac and gravel sections. Rally Cross Challenge sees Anco bring it to life in top-view <a href="/search/?q=Super+Sprint">Super Sprint</a> style.</p>
<p>There are six different circuits, and four cars in the game - 16-bit users with a Microdeal joystick adapter can have all four of these controlled by human players, other users are limited to 2-player. Computer cars have varying personalities and abilities. You must finish in the top 3 to move on to the next race.</p>
<p>The opportunity to upgrade your car comes after each race, with the points you earn from race results (4,2,1 for the top 3). There are six categories of upgrades - turbo, steering, traction, aerodynamics, repair time and brakes.</p>

<p><em>Comanche: Global Challenge</em> is the first add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5078/comanche-maximum-overkill/">Comanche: Maximum Overkill</a>. It adds three new campaigns with 10 missions each, some of which are significantly harder than those in the original game. Also added are new terrain types including arctic and desert and new enemies: The Mi-24 Hind helicopter, the BRDM-3 APC and the Scud-B missile launcher.</p>

<p>The second mission disk for the original Comanche adds 4 more campaigns with 10 missions each. There are also new terrain types and new enemies: the 500MD Defender Helicopter, the OSA-II missile boat and the Lebed air-cushioned landing craft.
The graphics engine has been refined and now supports reflective water and weather effects like snow and haze.
Also new are several options to make the controls more realistic and less arcade-like.</p>

<p>This game is based on a miniature golf course in Rochester, NY.  You have two courses to play on, both with 18 holes.</p>
<p>The game is played by rotating your club around the ball and then choosing how hard to hit the ball.  You can bounce the ball around corners to get your shots.  There are ten speeds that you can hit the ball with, corresponding to the 0-9 keys.  If you hit too hard, you might bounce the ball out of the hole or miss altogether... too soft and you'll take many hits to reach the hole.</p>
<p>And when you are playing the game at work, press your "boss" key and the game will disappear for when your boss comes in.  Then pop it back up when your boss leaves.</p>

<p>Endorsed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/100113/andre-panza/">André Panza</a>, this video game adaptation of Thai kick boxing features over 35 moves. Use the training gym to build up your character's abilities until you feel ready to take on an opponent. You also have the ability to customize your attacks. When you are ready, go to the ring to take on various opponents as you try to become the best kick boxer in the game.</p>

<p>Do you like to play darts? Would you like to have the opportunity to play darts on your computer? Here is your chance.</p>
<p>This game offers seven scoring styles such as Golf, Cricket, and the normal 501 scoring style. Choose how you want to score the game and hop right in and play. Aim your dart with your joystick or keyboard, then let it fly and hope you hit something good!</p>
<p>The game automatically scores for you so if you do not know how to score a dart game, you can still play. Knowing what you should aim for is helpful for getting high scores, however.</p>
<p>The darts games included in this package are:
* <strong>501</strong>  </p>
<p>This is the classic darts game where both players start with 501 points. Scores are reduced by the amount each player scores when it's their turn to throw. A leg ends when one player reduces their score to zero by hitting a double. A game is the best of three legs.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Round the Clock</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>The player must hit each number in turn, starting at one and ending with the bullseye. A game is the best of three legs.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Football</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>In this timed game, the number of each segment plays no part on this game.
Each player has a designated 'goal' area. Players take it in turns to hit a sequence of beds progressing towards the opponents goal. The winner is the player who has scored the most goals when time is up.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Tennis</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>The player serving must hit doubles, the player receiving must hit trebles.
A bed is highlighted on the board, this is the 'tennis ball'. The server has two chances to hit their designated bed to 'serve' the ball. If they are in successful the point goes to the receiver. If they are successful the receiver must hit their designated treble bed. This is repeated until a player fails to hit the ball. Scoring is as in tennis. A match consists of the best of three sets.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Golf</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>Only the numbers one top eighteen are used in this game, representing the eighteen holes on the golf course.
The object is to hit each number three times, hitting a double or a triple counts as two or three respectively, starting at one and working through to eighteen. The winner is the player to complete the game with the fewest darts</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cricket</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>In this game the players represent the batting and the bowling sides at cricket.
The 'bowler' attempts bowl the batsmen out by hitting the inner or the bullseye, the inner takes out one batsman, the bull takes out two.
Meanwhile the batting player attempts to score as highly as possible, but only points scored over forty count.
The team with the most runs after two innings are the winners.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Snooker</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>All numbers count in this game, numbers one to fifteen represent the fifteen red balls on the snooker table, while the remaining numbers represent the colors, sixteen being yellow and so on through to twenty being black.
To score, or pot a ball, that ball has to be hit by the player in sequence. The red balls must be hit once and the colored balls four times (doubles and trebles count as two and three hits respectively.) Play follows snooker in that after a red ball is potted a color must be attempted, hitting a ball out of sequence ends a turn and forfeits points etc. The player with the highest score wins.</p>

<p><em>Brian Clough's Football Fortunes</em> is a football management computer board game suitable for two to five players. </p>
<p>Each player takes on the role of a club manager. The object of the game is for each manager to successfully steer his team through the season using his skill to make his team stronger as the game proceeds. Each manager competes with human and computer controlled teams in a ten strong league and the F.A. Cup. From the second season onwards, each team will also enter a European competition (League Champions to the European Cup, F.A. Cup Winners to the Cup-Winners’ Cup, and the remaining clubs will go to the UEFA Cup). </p>
<p>The winner of <em>Brian Clough's Football Fortunes</em> is the manager who survives to the end of the game and has the highest number of game points. Game points are points awarded by the computer program, based on each managers performance in League and Cup competitions and on the amount of cash the player has left at the end of the game.</p>

<p>In <em>Rollerblade Racer</em> your goal is to enter (and hopefully win!) the super rollerblade challenge. In order to enter the race, you will first need to qualify by earning 5,000 points and completing several obstacle courses. As you rollerblade through the suburbs, city streets, beaches, and parks you can earn points by performing a variety of tricks and jumps. Additional points are earned by completing the course under the time limit. There are also several bonus rounds where you need to navigate through (or jump over) obstacles such as barrels or cones. In order to place in the super rollerblade challenge, you need to complete all of the events and the challenge with 10,000 points for third place, 15,000 for second, or 20,000 for first! If you crash too many times during an event or run out of time, the game will be over. The game allows you to select one of two characters, and features an isometric overhead point of view which scrolls to follow the action.</p>

<p>Your father had located the sunken remains of the Barbarosa, one of the last terrible pirate ships to sail in Caribbean waters. But he disappeared mysteriously during a diving trip.
Now it's your turn to go to the Barbarosa to solve this mystery and fulfill your father's dream of treasure</p>
<p>You play a diver who must find the treasures of the Barbarosa, a sunken pirate ship. In search of those treasures you encounter the inhabitants of the Caribbean waters and pirate ghosts.</p>

<p><em>Kick Off 96</em> gives you the chance to take part in the European Championships in England 1996. <em>Kick Off 96</em> can be played with several perspectives, including overhead and isometric, and offers the same pacey gameplay that made its predecessors famous. If Euro 96 isn't enough you could play with 49 international teams plus 750 club teams, totalling 15.000 real players with varied skill levels. If that's still not enough, you can also create your own leagues and teams.</p>

<p>In this game you play the role of the Doctor from the BBC
science fiction program <em>Doctor Who</em>. The story sees you trying to stop the Daleks from invading earth with help from your companions. The gameplay starts with you flying along the sewers of London on a hover platform blasting monsters with your laser. In later levels the gameplay turns to on foot platform jumping and shooting Daleks and Robomen with your sonic screwdriver and grenades. There are three different incarnations of the doctor for you to play as well as three different companions for a second player to play co-operatively.</p>

<p>A licensed version of a British TV game show from the late 1980s.</p>
<p>The game features 3 players, all either human or computer. Each chooses a category of questions out of 12 on offer - some are for a single sport (such as soccer or cricket) while others a more general (such as Indoor Sport and Pot Luck).</p>
<p>Four of the seven rounds involve each player being asked a question, which could be from one of the 3 selected categories, or it could be a general sport. A die is rolled, and the colour of its final position on the board indicates the type of question.</p>
<p>The other 3 rounds include Hit For Six, in which you get a succession of clues and have to work out which of the 6 named people they refer to - get it as quickly as you can to maximize your score.</p>
<p>The Jigsaw round involves identifying a club crest, pitch for a particular sport, or similar, with a piece added to the picture after each incorrect guess. Again the score declines the more guesses you need. There's an 'on the buzzer' questions round at the end.</p>

<p>Based around a classic motor car race from either side of the war, <em>1000 Miglia</em> (literally '1000 miles') is an unusual racing game. You have to progress across Italy through a number of stages in your rickety 20s car. Keeping within time limits at each point is crucial to staying in the game. </p>
<p>At the beginning of the game, you can choose the spare parts that you will take with yourself in case your car breaks down. You also choose a car and set up the skills for your two drivers; you can distribute points between Skill, Resistance and Mechanics, and choose the driver's favorite part of the race. </p>
<p>Atmospheric conditions change throughout the race: sometimes the weather will be clear, sometimes you'll have to drive through rain or mist. During the race, your car will sometimes lose a wheel or need other repairs. If this happens, you'll lose a couple of minutes repairing it - as long as you have the appropriate spare part; if you don't have one, it's game over!</p>

<p>Wayne's World is an adventure game based on the movie with the same name. The game itself is a classic point and click adventure, and should not be confused with the platform game based on the movie.</p>
<p>You play both Wayne and Garth, and you can switch between them at any time. The plot is simple; In an attempt to save their tv-show, Wayne and Garth decide to hold a pizza-thon (a charity show with a pizza-theme) in order to raise money. In order to be able to hold the pizza-thon Wayne and Garth must embark on several quests to collect items and hire people they need for the show. The adventure includes participating in babe-jeopardy, joining a biker's gang and baking pizza. The graphics are in 2D and the sound contains several samples from the movie.</p>

<p>This port contains two complete games from the classic puzzle series.  There are 209 levels to work through, all featuring the classic Lemmings formula: the player must assign roles (digger, climber, etc.) to marching Lemmings in order to prevent them from meeting terrible fates.</p>

<p>Gamplay is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Galaxian">Galaxian</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8402/galaga/">Galaga</a>, Galacta gives you a top-down space shooter just like the arcade games.</p>
<p>Move back and forth along the bottom of the screen as you avoid the attacks from the enemy ships and launch your own attacks at them. You can be destroyed by any shot from an enemy or by hitting an enemy ship as it swoops in at you.</p>
<p>The enemies will come down in various pre-set patterns and do not really try to hit you... but staying out of their way can still be a challenge. Watch out as the ships fly down at you and as they return from the bottom of the screen flying up again.</p>
<p>Get various power-ups such as shields to help you survive their attacks. If you make it through a wave of enemies without dying, you get a bonus to your score.</p>

<p>Pulse is an interesting game where you try to get a group of pieces of the same color together similar to how you would in a tetris game.  However, in this game, the pieces are flying around all over the place and you have to "attract" them to where you want them.</p>
<p>As you get a set of four or more of a color of disks completed, those pieces disappear and you get a spiky piece of that color.  Every set of disks of a color completed gets a new spiky piece.  Clearing a set of spiky pieces gets a triangle piece, and clearing a set of those gets a star piece.  This is kind of like going up in levels.</p>
<p>As you progress, you can get power-ups and special events.  Due to the number of pieces flying around as you progress, this game becomes very fast-paced and difficult the further you get into the game.</p>

<p><em>Helious</em> is a game where you must maneuver a balloon through levels without popping it. As you maneuver the balloon, air is released and if too much air is released, you also lose, adding some strategy to the game.</p>
<p>As the levels progress, the levels get various dangers added such as pins, rain, turrets that shoot at you, and more. Some areas even require your balloon to be small enough to go through which will mean letting out additional air. You will also be able to get items to throw at any enemies you encounter as you get into higher levels.</p>

<p>Helious II is the second part of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12740/helious/">Helious</a>. The first part was available without charge as a shareware "teaser" where you had to pay for the second part of the game, Helious II. Just as with Helious, you must maneuver a balloon through the different levels. Every maneuver releases air from the balloon, and if too much is released, you lose.</p>
<p>In later levels, various dangers will be added to the levels such as turrents, pins, locked doors, and more. Once you reach later levels, you will get things to throw at various enemies that can attack you rather than just dodging them.</p>

<p>Starting this game will remind you of <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId,2112/">Pipe Dream</a>, but the gameplay is a bit different. You will still make a pipe using various pipe pieces that appear. However, you don't get points for how long your pipe goes or how many times you overlap the pipe. Instead, you get points for how many loops you can make. If you complete a loop, it will disappear and you will get points for it.</p>
<p>There is a timer that will continue to go down which makes the game more of a challenge. The timer can be increased a lot by completing loops, or a little by placing pieces.</p>

<p>CTA's original IP stars a toon dog called Ralph who must stop his sleepwalking master Lee from waking up. Ralph must bridge gaps, beat up baddies, stop Lee falling into water, inflate his own body and float above obstacles, and generally be a selfless version of man's best friend.</p>
<p>Between each of the major levels, there is a dream sequence where Ralph can collect various tokens and trigger what he "really" thinks should happen to Lee.</p>
<p>There are six huge parallax scrolling main levels and five bonus levels. There are several full motion video sequences setting the story.</p>
<p>There is also a special Amiga 1200 version which has enhanced full motion video and in game graphics.</p>

<p>The follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14759/cjs-elephant-antics/">CJ's Elephant Antics</a>, in which we find that The Hunter has kidnapped CJ's brothers and sisters and trapped them at various points around the USA. Needless to say, young CJ sets off to rescue them.</p>
<p>The game is a standard platform title, in which you can shoot peanuts at your enemies, or use bombs you collect.</p>
<p>You start with 9 lives, which sounds generous, but the levels are full of spikes and bad guys which can come to get you at any point. The enemies include policemen, Indians, dogs and burly American footballers (quite a stereotypical view of Americans there). Each level has a guardian at the end.</p>

<p>This release is a compilation which includes the two first games in the <em>Realms of Arkania</em> trilogy (also known as <em>The Northern Reaches Trilogy</em>) - <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3437/realms-of-arkania-blade-of-destiny/">Blade of Destiny</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3438/realms-of-arkania-star-trail/">Star Trail</a>.</p>

<p>Basically a remake of the SNES game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20713/super-troll-islands/">Super Troll Islands</a>, but superficially incorporating TV character Mr Blobby, who was famous for crushing people and shouting "Blobbitty Blobbitty Blobby" or words to that effect, neither of which he does in the game.</p>
<p>It's essentially a platform game, but the 60 levels are reliant on you colouring in enough of the screen, by walking over it. Power ups are on offer, and the levels include some interesting design features, including ladders, spikes and springs to bounce off.</p>
<p>You can switch between the 3 characters (Mr Blobby, Mrs Blobby and Baby Blobby) at any point, and only lose once all 3 are out of lives. There are plenty of bad guys around, all looking identical and following pre-programmed attack paths.</p>

<p>The Hamburglar has stolen Ronald's bag of magic tricks!  In this 2D platformer, it's up to you to play as Mick or Mac and get it back.  Go across various lands and meet McDonald's characters as you travel to places like Ronald's Clubhouse, Birdie's Treehouse, and the Hamburglar's Hideout as you collect Ronald's cards.  </p>
<p>To kill the many animal enemies you will find, you must collect bricks and throw them. In some sections you will travel along water in a dinghy; also watch for moving platforms and bonus sections, The game features seven different worlds with over 30 main levels and nine bonus levels.</p>

<p>The third entry in the Kick Off series is the first that offers an isometric view instead of the old top-down view. In the game, there are four competitions (World Cup Finals, League, Knock Out Cup and the challenge). There are several options for game speed and ball control to suit both novice and skilled gamers. Each of the 32 teams in the game has a distinct style of play, ensuring that no two games are alike. Each team also has "key players", such as Liberos and Wingers, who play a pivotal role in how that team plays. Kick Off 3 offers two styles of play: Arcade and Simulation. The difference is that in the Arcade mode you can switch off rules to focus purely on reflexes.</p>

<p><em>Snood</em> is a puzzle game based on the concept of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/80760/puzzle-bobble/">Puzzle Bobble</a>. The game is set out with a grid of small differently-coloured shapes, each featuring faces drawn on them. A succession of blocks are placed in an aiming device at the bottom of the screen, and you must rotate this so as to aim them, off the walls if necessary, to hit ones of the same colour.</p>
<p>When three or more of the same colour make contact, they are removed from the field of play. Any blocks which were only connected to those blocks (and not to any others or the ceiling) get removed from play as well. This is crucial, because each shot that fails to drop any blocks off causes a meter to move on one level. When this reaches the top, the line of blocks drops by one level. Once it reaches the point where blocks are moved down below the playing area, it is Game Over.</p>
<p>There are five skill levels, as well as a set of 50 challenge levels, and a Journey mode in which you play through one level from each difficulty. From medium difficulty upwards, you'll have to contend with Skulls among the layout - these can only be removed by being dropped away.</p>

<p>Play the Games is the reaction of the success of Topware's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2816/gold-games-2/">Gold Games 2</a>. Nearly at the same time as the release of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12460/gold-games-3/">Gold Games 3</a>, Electronic Arts, Infogrames, and Virgin Interactive Entertainment released together their own compilation in an joint-venture. Each company contributed five games.</p>
<p>The compilation offers 15 games spread over 23 CD's. As is usual, the manuals are on CD as PDF's, while the printed manual is only some sort of reference card.</p>

<p>This quiz game, included in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12923/big-blue-disk-20/">Big Blue Disk #20</a>, is designed to help players remember United States capitals. It contains five data sets, each containing ten states and capitals that must be matched up. At the start of play, each state is matched with a random capital; by swapping the placement of pairs of capital names, the player must correctly match each state with its capital.</p>

<p>This adaptation of the classic card game was included in Big Blue Disk #21.  In it, the player faces a computer opponent, using the keyboard to pick which card to play next.  As in the card game, the player's object is to get rid of all of his or her cards as quickly as possible.  The player must match either the value or suit of the previous card played, and eight cards are wild.  If a card cannot be legally played, the player must draw, thus moving farther away from victory.</p>

<p>This multiple-choice quiz game, published as part of Big Blue Disk #21, asks one hundred questions about computer hardware and software.  Interestingly, the player is given three "men," and loses a man every time a question is answered incorrectly.  Bonus men can be earned by answering ten questions correctly.  At the end of play, men are cashed in for points, meaning that the best possible score is 113.  Obviously, this is a bit dated, but it's a fun snapshot of the computer world of the late eighties.</p>

<p>This game is a close relative of the better-known <a href="/search/?q=Kroz">Kroz series</a>. Searching for the Heart of Courage in the Ezam dungeons, the player must evade the lost souls of previous adventurers while strategically using the pick axes and teleport scrolls strewn about the place. The game's primary twist is that it takes place in a maze that is largely invisible. After a tantalizing glimpse of the whole area at the start of play, most of the maze disappears, with wall segments only reappearing when the player bumps into them. Pick axes can be used to cut through wall segments and teleport scrolls take the player to a random spot in the maze. While all this is going on, the lost souls relentlessly home in on the player, adding urgency to the proceedings.</p>

<p>This educational program, included in Big Blue Disk #26, provides several mini-games designed to teach children about change.  "Name That Coin" and "Pick the Coins" simply deal with matching coins and their names.  "Silly Seals" requires the player to choose coins thrown by seals in order to reach a certain total of money.  "The Cycler" involves catching falling coins to help make change for a dollar.  "Refreshments" has the player picking coins to pay for a variety of food items.  "High Diver" asks the player to add up coins and type in their total value; each correct answer sends a diver higher up a ladder to his goal.  All of the games are accompanied by animation and PC speaker music.</p>

<p>The Cybercon III computer was built with the intent of looking after the world, but something went wrong—the computer killed people instead, and now the world lies in chaos. The player takes on the role of one of the few survivors, with the goal of destroying the Cybercon III computer.</p>
<p>The gameplay of <em>Cybercon III</em> revolves around exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving as the player works their way through complex where the computer is stored, with the player tasked with destroying or disabling the computer and its defenses and bypassing the computer's notice, made easier by way of a secret entrance into the complex.</p>

<p>This issue of the monthly software subscription contains two games: <a href="/game/sheet/p,2/gameId,728/">Kingdom of Kroz</a> and <a href="/game/sheet/p,2/gameId,12861/">States and Capitals</a>. These programs, along with a variety of non-game applications, utilities and text articles (including a review of <a href="/game/sheet/gameId,379/">Leisure Suit Larry</a>), can be accessed from a text-based menu system.</p>

<p>This game, offered in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13033/big-blue-disk-28/">Big Blue Disk #28</a>, is a simple implementation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/132385/john-horton-conway/">John Conway</a>'s <a href="/search/?q=Conway+s+Game+of+Life">Game of Life</a>, a mathematical diversion which simulates artificial life by applying a simple algorithm to an array of cells. This particular version allows the user to manually or randomly create a pattern and then watch it evolve in real time or step-by-step using either the classic algorithm or what it calls the 3-4 variant.</p>

<p>This game puts you behind the controls of the AV8B Harrier aircraft. You must plan a strategic assault upon the enemy island of East Timor which is heavily defended. As well as allowing you to fly the Harrier, you can also plan attacks with your ground and naval forces.</p>
<p>If you prefer the strategic side of things you can let the games AI fly the missions for you, whilst you concentrate on commanding the resources available to you to strike on the enemy.</p>

<p>This game, part of the Classic Adventure Series, has the adventuresome player searching for Queen Anne's crown, which was lost in the eighteenth century and last seen in the Arabian desert.  Although entirely text-based, the game takes a somewhat visual approach to interactive fiction.  The screen is split into several boxes: an area description (which specifies visible exits), an inventory, a list of visible items, an auto-map and a list of verbs.  Several statistics are tracked at the bottom of the screen: score, moves, hunger, thirst and number of treasures found (out of 12).  Replay value is enhanced by the fact that certain elements of the game are randomized.</p>

<p>The first game in Gremlin's series of football management games. You start off managing a team in the Conference (the fifth tier of English football) and aim to progress up the leagues, either by improving your existing team or earning jobs at better clubs elsewhere.</p>
<p>The features at your disposal include selecting training regimes, planning tactics for each match based on your opposition's strengths and weaknesses, scouting for new players including youth prospects, and arranging sponsorship and stadium improvements (to attract more fans).</p>
<p>The transfer system is a crucial part of the game, as you aim to sign players (who are broadly rated in each of the main skill areas) up against other teams who want them and sell off players you don't need. You have an overdraft available, but make sure not to exceed it.</p>
<p>The game supports up to 4 players, whose matches all take place at the same time. You can make tactical changes and substitutions mid-match.</p>

<p>This follow-up to <a href="/game/sheet/p,2/gameId,12885/">The Computer Quiz</a> features the same engine, but its hundred questions deal with the BASIC programming language. As before, the player is given three "men," and loses a man every time a question is answered incorrectly. Bonus men can be earned by answering ten questions correctly. At the end of play, men are cashed in for points, meaning that the best possible score is 113.</p>

<p>In this solitaire game, the player has four columns to work with, and each starts with just one card in it.  Whenever two cards on the bottoms of stacks have the same suit, the card with the lowest value can be removed.  At any time, a single card may also be moved from the bottom of any stack to a vacant column or a new set of four cards may be dealt onto the bottoms of the stacks.  The object of the game is to have an ace at the top of every column.</p>

<p>In this Tic-Tac-Toe-style game, the player and the computer compete to be the first to make a 2x2 square within a 10x10 grid.  The computer AI has five levels of intelligence, and the player gets to choose who goes first.  It is also possible to save a game and resume it later.</p>

<p>This touch-typing tutorial includes a few games to help players practice when they're not taking lessons.  The first, "Touch Typing Tests," simply involves typing sentences quickly.  The second, "Tic-Tac-Toe," gives the player a Tic-Tac-Toe board.  Each turn, he or she selects a square and is given a sentence to type.  If the sentence is typed quickly enough and contains no errors, the square is won; otherwise, it is given to the computer.  The final game, "ESCAPE," has the player running away from an enemy.  A letter always appears in the box in front of the player.  Typing this correctly sends the player forward, but making a mistake sends the player back.  If the enemy catches the player before the end of the course is reached, all is lost.  Each of these games features adjustable difficulty levels.</p>

<p>This game allows the player to control a simulated United States attack submarine.  The game is played in a hybrid turn-based/real-time mode -- there are turns, but there is a timer on each turn, so the player needs to act quickly.  The screen displays a large amount of information on the current situation, and the player must use menu commands to perform actions such as moving, targeting, firing and using radar or sonar.</p>

<p>The player, flying a scout ship in space, is asked to rescue survivors from a space station caught in a meteor shower.  During gameplay, the player's ship continually moves forward on the screen from the bottom to the top.  Whenever it hits the top of the screen, it loops back to the bottom.  Control consists simply of moving left and right or firing to destroy meteors.  To win, the player must conserve fuel and shields and rescue all of the crew members.</p>

<p>This simulation allows players to throw darts at a virtual board by hitting the space bar three times at critical moments.  The first hit determines where the dart is aimed on a horizontal plane, the second determines the angle of the throw and the third determines the strength of the throw.  The object of the game is to run out of points; points are lost by successfully hitting the dart board.  Players cannot score until they have "doubled in" by hitting a double scoring area, and they must "double out" by hitting a double scoring area worth exactly the right amount of points in order to reduce their score to zero.  The starting point value and the speed of the program can be adjusted.</p>

<p>This game recreates the board game Go. On a large board, players are competing to complete lines of five of their pieces (crosses for you and naughts for the CPU player in this case).  The offensiveness or defensiveness of the artificial intelligence's strategy is randomized with each play.</p>

<p>In this game, the player and several opponents leave trails as they move around an empty black field.  Crashing into one's own trail or the trail of an opponent causes death; the object is to outmaneuver and outlive all of the enemies.  Starting level, difficulty and game speed are all adjustable.</p>

<p>This game was a recurring feature on several of Softdisk's disk subscriptions; each time it appeared on a particular platform, it contained different puzzles.  It's a combination word game/sliding tile puzzle in which letters must be manipulated and rearranged within a constrained area in order to spell out words.  Several words can be worked on simultaneously, and the letters that appear in the last word of each set are determined by the positions of the letters in earlier words.</p>

<p>This Space Invaders-style shooter pits the player against eleven different waves of alien opponents which recur over the course of an infinite number of levels.  The player can move horizontally and (to a limited degree) vertically, and the traditional gun is accompanied by a shield that can be activated at the press of a button.  Everything costs energy, however, so there is a time constraint to play.  Medals are earned during play which can be redeemed for ship enhancements (reduced energy use, increased fire power or increased shot damage) if the player is able to successfully dock with a starbase.  Docking also refills the player's energy after each wave.</p>

<p>In <em>The Quest of Kwirk's Castle</em> you are playing a green guy, Kwirk, who want either going up in the castle, or exit it. The gameplay is based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/17676/kwirk/">Kwirk</a>; it's your job to help Kwirk reach the exit.</p>
<p>The game offers two different game modes, "Going Up" and "Heading Out", the difference is how the exit and the game field looks like. In "Going Up" you heading for stairs which lead to the next level. In "Heading Out", you just head for an open tunnel which will lead to the next level.</p>
<p>"Going Up" offers three different difficulties, which will effect the complexity of the level, not only the size, but also the amount of puzzle elements. In each difficulty you can play 10 different levels. "Heading Out" has only one difficulty, easy, but has 31 levels in a row.</p>
<p>You do not need to solve a level in order to get to the next, all 61 levels are accessible directly from the main menu.</p>
<p>In the levels itself, you need to move around wooden crates in many different sizes and forms, some are only in the way to the exit (and you must get around), but some others are needed to cross water. In addition there are gearwheels in the level, from two-arms to full four-arms. You need them to rotate in order to get somewhere, or to make room for a crate to move. Furthermore, there are sometimes solid obstacles in the level, where you can end up with a crate in a dead end...</p>
<p>If you fail the level and can't reach the exit, you can easily restart it, and play it so long how you want.</p>
<p>On a few levels, you aren't alone, there are sometimes multiple Kwirks, all under your control, positioned at different places in the level. In this case one Kwirk needs another to complete the level, but all Kwirks must reach the exit, if not, you've failed the level.</p>

<p>For <em>D!Zone 150</em> <a href="/search/?q=WizardWorks+Software">WizardWorks Software</a> pulled 150 more levels and mods for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1068/doom/">DOOM</a> off the net and packaged them with version 1.3 of their D! front end to create this CD collection.</p>
<p>A registered version of <em>DOOM</em> or <a href="/search/?q=DOOM+II:+Hell+on+Earth">DOOM II</a> (version 1.666 or higher) is required to play the levels in this compilation.</p>

<p>This is an unofficial DOS port of a <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a> clone called <i>Digger</i> (completely unrelated to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/18/digger/">Windmill Software game</a>), which was originally written in 1988 for the East German KC 85 microcomputers. Gameplay and graphics are very similar to <i>Boulder Dash</i>. Your task is to collect diamonds, try to stay alive from falling diamonds/rocks and avoid ghosts. The DOS port features high-resolution graphics and extra levels compared to the KC 85 original.</p>
<p>The game offers 32 levels, once you completed a level, you get the level code for the next, so you can skip levels the next time you play.</p>
<p>Once you started a level, you have 3 minutes time to collect the amount of diamonds needed to complete the level. At the time you've done this, the exit is accessible and you can leave the level, but you can still collect the rest of the diamonds. You get 10 points per diamond, but only 1 point per second from the time from the 3 minutes you have spared when you exit fast enough. So for highscore purpose, it's good to collect most (or all) diamonds. After you gain a certain amount of points, you gain an extra life. Once you completed level 32, all remaining lives will be added to your score.</p>
<p>Make sure, that you don’t block your exit with a rock, or that you don’t get trapped. If so, your only way to complete the level is by committing suicide and replaying it again.</p>
<p>To make your diamond-collecting challenging, there a rock balls in the game. You can stand directly beneath them, but when you move just one square down, the rock will fall, and when you get hit, you're dead. This also happens to falling diamonds. So, if you must go down, move fast, and move then left or right to prevent impact. If it’s only one rock, you can move them horizontal, as soon as there is more than one rock, it’s impossible to move them further.</p>
<p>Sometimes there are not enough diamonds in the game, in this case there are some sieves in the level, where you must put a rock on top of it, and if there is space beneath the sieve, the rock will fall through it, and gets transformed into a diamond. But of course, this is also a good idea to do this, when you already have the certain amount of diamonds to collect.</p>
<p>And for a bit more challenge, there are ghosts in some levels, which you must avoid, or they kill you. The good news is, that they don’t hunt you, they just follow a patrol route. The bad news is, who knows their route since most of the time, their route is blocked by a diamond or rock, once it’s removed, they coming… But you can kill them, if you good enough to let a rock or diamond fall on their head, then they “explode” and destroy all 8 squares around them, so make sure, you are not in one of them. But be careful, the explosion will destroy anything, including solid walls, and this may trigger more fallen rocks/diamonds.</p>
<p>If you once become tired of the levels, make your own ones, with the included level editor.</p>

<p><em>Power Drive</em> is an arcade racing game based around rally driving. Handbrake turns and lurid powerslides are both possible, and the steering is suitably loose.</p>
<p>There are 3 types of stages - individual time-trials, head-to-head races against the computer, and some skill tests. There are 8 rounds of gameplay, set across countries ranging from Sweden to Kenya. The player gets prize money for winning races, and it costs money to repair damage.</p>

<p>This CD compilation contains 500 deathmatch levels for Doom and Doom II taken from the net and bundled together on one disc.  In addition, there are some of the standard doom editing utilities and the D! front end program that serves as the cornerstone to the WizardWorks series of Doom add-on discs.</p>
<p>D!Match requires a full copy of Doom or Doom II and a means of connecting to a multiplayer game to use.</p>

<p>Charlie II is the successor of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4092/charlie-the-duck/">Charlie the Duck</a>. Once again, you playing the duck Charlie across many different levels in this platformer.</p>
<p>The game contains 18 levels, with different worlds. Some levels are hidden, and can only be accessed through a secret exit. After the end of 6 levels, you must face a boss.</p>
<p>You begin your adventure by choosing the difficulty level you want to play (easy, normal, and hard). The difficulty level will affect how much treasure you must find in the level. If you exit the level earlier than finding the percentage needed, you have to replay the level, as long as you not succeed in finding enough treasure. In easy you must find 55%, in normal it's 65%, and in hard it's 75% of all coins &amp; diamonds in the game. Some are visible, some are hidden.</p>
<p>In a level, you have no weapons to defeat an enemy. However, you can jump on top of them, or using a shield to defeat them. Charlie has both health and lives, if you get hit by an enemy, you loose one of your hearts (the health). If you loose all of them, you loose a life. If you jump or fall on top of spikes, you immediately die. The initial number of hearts depends on the difficulty.</p>
<p>Charlie can not only run and jump, he can only dive. This is needed to find hidden areas in the level.</p>
<p>On his adventure, Charlie can find a lot of Power-Ups, mostly hidden in crates, which shatters if you jump on top of them.</p>
<p>The following Power-Ups can you find: Heart (will increase Charlie's health by filling up hearts), Super Heart (will give an extra heart; means when you had 2, you now have 3), Egg (will provide Charlie with an extra life), Letters (there are an A, a C, an E, a H, an I, a L, and a R in a level; if you find them, they will form his name and when you will have them all, you get an extra life), Shield (will make Charlie invulnerable for a moment).</p>

<p>This issue of the PC disk subscription is particularly game-rich, containing four entertainment items: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12953/four-card-solitaire/">Four Card Solitaire</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Life+in+the+Fast+Lane">Life in the Fast Lane</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=IBM+BASIC+Quiz">The IBM BASIC Quiz</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Lost+Crown+of+Queen+Anne">The Lost Crown of Queen Anne</a>. These programs, along with an assortment of utilities, applications, clip art and articles, are accessible from a text-based menu.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/26895/nicky-boom/">Nicky Boom</a>; this time Nicky must find out who has been removing ladders and blocking off caves in his homeland. The gameplay is essentially platform, with multi-directional maze-like levels. Beating the obstructions requires occasional brainwork – hidden ladders are easy enough to uncover, and there are lots of hidden sections to look for. The levels are colourful, and the game has a cute look making it appear suited to younger players. Mirrors are placed around the levels, which transport you to a random place.</p>

<p>At the time of its release, this was the biggest-ever issue of Softdisk's PC software subscription, spanning two 3.5" or three 5.25" floppy disks. This was due to the inclusion of an extra-large typing program called <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12955/proto-type/">Proto Type</a>. This was not the only game in the issue, however; there was also room for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/731/dungeons-of-kroz/">Dungeons of Kroz</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Squares">Squares</a> along with the usual mix of applications, clip art, utilities and articles.</p>

<p><em>Stardust</em> is an <a href="/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a> clone but it introduces a lot of gameplay modifications. There are 30 standard levels splitted into 5 worlds. Levels can be completed in any order however, you must fight an end-of-level guardian once you have finished the sixth level of a world. In each level there are standard disintegrating rocks to destroy. Their colour defines their endurance: greys are the easiest to be destroyed while yellows are the hardest. In most of the levels there are also other enemies but there are happens to be also some alliance forces providing us with new types of weapons or missiles.</p>
<p>In total there are six types of weapons available: 3-way, bouncer, plasma, flamer, burster and missiles (maximum 3). Weapons can be collected by destroying alliance forces' ships. Each of these can be powered up to different levels. Fortunately you can power up one weapon while using another. Extra lives, shield enhancements and smart bombs are also on offer. </p>
<p>Along with the standard levels, there are also 4 tunnel levels, which involve shooting what you can and dodging everything else as you dart through a ray-traced 3D tunnel, and 2 optional <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16400/thrust/">Thrust</a>-style bonus levels in which lives can be won or lost.</p>

<p>This issue of Softdisk's PC software subscription features two games: <a href="/search/?q=Submarine">Submarine</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Meteors">Meteors</a>. These can be selected from a text-based menu which also provides access to various applications, utilities, clip art and articles. This issue's applications emphasize the graphical, featuring a drawing program called PC Strokes and fractal-drawing software. Also noteworthy is the inclusion of a review of <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/gags-agt-games">the Adventure Game Toolkit</a>.</p>

<p>This issue of the PC software subscription contains three games: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Darts">Darts</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12959/block-five/">Block Five</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12960/boxzum/">Boxzum</a>. Another noteworthy inclusion is Alfredo's Mortiferous Mentality, part of a popular series of non-interactive and darkly humorous animations. These programs, along with a variety of applications, utilities, clip art and articles (including a review of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Life+and+Death">Life and Death</a> written by <a href="/developer/sheet/view/developerId=817/">John Romero</a>), are accessible from a scrolling, text-based menu.</p>

<p>The follow-up to <a href="/search/?q=puyo+puyo">Puyo Puyo</a> is, like its predecessor, a falling block game in which the goal is to combine four or more blocks (Puyos) of the same color, which then disappear. The remaining Puyos will then fall down and can produce combos which can cause special blocks (Nuisance Puyos, that can only be destroyed by eliminating adjacent Puyos) to appear on the enemy's field.</p>
<p>This game includes a story mode, in which Arle (the main character) fights against computer enemies, a vs player mode, a four player mode (SNES only), and an endless mode (SNES only).</p>

<p>Twisted Mini Golf is a mini golf game for 1 to 4 players. In the game there are five different courses each with its own theme. Each course has nine holes. The courses’ themes are Easy as 123, Four Winds, Imagination, War Games and Water Works. The game is played by dragging the mouse in the opposite direction of where you want the ball to go, and then release it for a shot.</p>

<p>The sequel to the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9617/bomb-jack/">Bomb Jack</a>, <em>Mighty Bombjack</em> brings side scrolling to the series, and brings it closer to a platform game rather than the arcade / puzzle likeness of the first one.</p>
<p>Once again you play as the bomb-hungry caped superhero. Collect the bombs for points and avoid being touched by the different monsters that spawn from crates and the like.</p>
<p>The game now features new scenarios like clouds and forests, as well as the usual sphinx and pyramids backgrounds of the original title.</p>

<p><em>Winzer</em> (German for vintner) is a business simulation about the cultivation of wine.</p>
<p>Choose a vineyard in southern Germany, cultivate and harvest grapes, press wine and sell it on the national or international markets. The quality of your wine depends on the type of vines, when the grapes are harvested and how they are fertilized.</p>
<p>You must deal with hiring personnel and buying equipment, registering your wines with the authorities and advertising your products. You can also sabotage your competitors or illegally water down your wines.</p>
<p>You win by reaching a score of 1000 points. Points are awarded by registering wines, creating high quality sparkling wines or placing high in regional or national wine competitions.</p>

<p>With the original <a href="/search/?q=Sensible+Soccer:+European+Champions">Sensible Soccer</a> having sold hugely, this updated version was released some months later (and then used as the basis for the later console versions). The teams are updated, with the sides present in the 92-93 European tournaments included, and the player names updated to take transfers into account. </p>
<p>The game was tidied up and changed in a number of areas. The most significant change is the addition of red and yellow cards for discipline (2 yellow card offenses or one ‘professional foul’ (denying your opponent a clear goal-scoring opportunity) results in that player being sent off). The goalkeepers have been improved in skill, and the 1994 World Cup Qualifying tournament was added.</p>

<p>Vroom is a Formula 1 car racing game that can be played either in arcade or simulation mode. The main options screen allows you to select manual or automatic transmission, number of laps, and training, single race, or full season. The multiplayer option allows two players to race against each other on separate computers.</p>
<p>Each track, with different layouts and background graphics, includes many tight curves, steep grades and inclines, as well as tunnels and a pit stop.</p>
<p>The player-controlled car has working side-view mirrors, which allow you to view the actual action behind you, as well as a working speedometer and gear display.</p>
<p>The game features a colorful mix of 3D and 2D graphics, realistic sound effects, and blazing fast, smooth animations.</p>

<p>This CD-ROM compilation includes two full-version games: <a href="/search/?q=Wing+Commander">Wing Commander</a> (not including the expansion packs found in the contemporary <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4027/wing-commander-deluxe-edition/">Wing Commander: Deluxe Edition</a> CD-ROM) and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/104/ultima-vi-the-false-prophet/">Ultima VI: The False Prophet</a>. Unlike many compilations of this sort, the box contained the original full documentation along with the discs.</p>

<p>A puzzle game loosely featuring licensing from the 7Up soft drink. The gameplay involves up to 4 players, which can be either human or computer, each taking on spots of a particular colour. Starting from opposite corners, they take it in turns to move, either by 'reproducing' one of their spots to form another one in an adjacent square, or by making a jump, losing the square you did have but taking one two spaces away.</p>
<p>When a piece lands next to one of another colour, that piece changes colour into that of their opponent. The winner of each round is either the last player with any pieces left, or the player who has the most pieces left when the level is full.</p>

<p>In this solitaire game, cards are laid out in a row.  The object of the game is to pile all of the cards on top of one another.  You can move a card or pile of cards either one or two spaces to the left when the card you are placing it on matches its suit or value.  As cards are moved to the left, new cards are dealt onto the right side of the row from the deck.  This implementation of the game allows the player to choose from a starting row of thirteen, ten or seven cards, and it also keeps track of ten high scores.</p>

<p>This program takes graphic files, splits them into squares and shuffles the squares around.  By selecting two squares with the keyboard or mouse, the player can swap their locations on the screen.  The object is to reassemble the image to its original appearance.  A variety of now-obscure graphics formats are supported: <em>.PIC, </em>.SCN, <em>.BSP, </em>.BSS, <em>.PAK, </em>.PBL, <em>.IFF and </em>.LBM.  The puzzles can scale from 32 to 256 pieces in size.  It is possible to save and later reload a puzzle in progress.  The program also comes with Pixel Puzzle Maker, a utility which allows Print Shop clip art to be used to create new *.BSP graphics for use in the Puzzler.</p>

<p>Play your favourite team as they make their way through the European Football championships. You can either select your team and let the computer's AI battle out each match or take over control of the players and put the ball in the back of the net yourself.</p>
<p>This was Krisalis' second sports game after <a href="/search/?q=Manchester+United:+The+Official+Computer+Game">Manchester United: The Official Computer Game</a>.</p>

<p>Krisalis’ fourth licensed Manchester United game – the title refers to their success in winning both the Premier League and the FA Cup in the same (93-94) season –- something only six clubs have achieved.</p>
<p>The gameplay is overhead view, and has much in common with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12994/kick-off/">Kick Off</a>, offering loose control, a range of moves, and an emphasis on short passing. It’s not easy at first, but persistence reaps rewards, especially with a two-button controller.</p>
<p>Making life easier is the Tacti-Grid tactics editor, which allowed you to customise tactics by instructing players on exactly where they go when the ball is in a particular position. The editor is the most comprehensive ever seen in an action football game, allowing you to rename players, change their appearance and skills, transfer them across clubs, move clubs around the divisions, change their kits, and more.</p>

<p>This platform game has much in common with console games of the era. There are 4 worlds including ice, desert and fields, and have multiple routes through. The bad guys are cutesy. You get past them by spinning at them, although jumping over them is often sufficient. Power-ups on offer include speed ups, energy, food and water (Quik’s thirst and hunger are measured separately). The bonus levels involve jumping through time, by finding the right doors.</p>

<p><em>Bargon Attack</em> is one of the less known adventures from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1127/coktel-vision/">Coktel Vision</a>, though it was one of the first that introduced the unique interface that was used in many Coktel games that followed. It was also one of the first of Coktel's games to use FMV technology in cut-scenes.</p>
<p>The gameplay is a mix of science fiction, cyberpunk and comedy elements. It takes place in the near future when an alien race named Bargon conquered the Earth and enslaved its people. You take a role of the young programmer who decides to put an end to the cruel aliens. You'll travel through 20 or so locations. Each one consists of 1 to 3 screens, similar to other Coktel games.</p>

<p>This compilation is the successor to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13186/aber-hallo/">Aber Hallo!</a>. Once again there are 50 games available in the compilation, which are spread over 15 CD's.</p>
<p>The manuals for each game are on CD in multiple formats available, while the printed manual is only some sort of a short reference card.</p>
<p>And like the predecessor, the copy protection codes are only stored in the manuals on the CD, and no hard copy of it is available.</p>

<p>Since this is the first Volume, here are a bit general informations about "Best of Sierra":</p>
<p>"Best of Sierra" gets released every second month. It offers 2 (full version) games on one CD, the CD is then filled with some game and few program demos from Sierra. Sometimes there are some gimmicks there too, like special screensaver, or a bonus game, etc. The CD comes with the "Best of Sierra"-magazine, which is about 60 pages thick, and contains the manuals and cheats/walkthroughs for the individual games, but also articles about the included games, and sometimes about upcoming Sierra games, all in all it is plenty illustrated.</p>
<p>The June/July 1997 issue (Volume 1) contains the following full version games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1402/metaltech-earthsiege/">Metaltech: Earthsiege</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The magazine features, along with the manuals to the title games, a 14 pages long background story for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/116/gabriel-knight-sins-of-the-fathers/">Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers</a>, written in comic style. And in addition, it offers a detailed, 8 pages long, walkthrough for this game too.</p>

<p>Having previously recreated the more internationally famed rugby union with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/453/world-class-rugby/">World Class Rugby</a>, Audiogenic switched their attention to Rugby League, using the same game engine.</p>
<p>The main differences in the league game is that a team has to give up possession after being tackled six times – which often leads to some bold moves on the 5th tackle, especially as if you retrieve the ball an opposition player, you get a fresh set of six tackles – and that after a tackle, play restarts by flicking the ball back to another player (inexplicably knows as the ‘Play-the-Ball’), while the entire teams (of 13 players, not the 15 in Union) remain on their side of the ball. Instead of line-outs, the ball going out of play at the side results in a scrum, as does a knock-on (fumbling attempts to control a pass or recieve a kick) if those are switched on.</p>
<p>The gameplay is viewed from either a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12994/kick-off/">Kick Off</a>-style overhead view or a forced-perspective 3D one, with a scanner on screen to show where your team-mates are (this is more important than in football). Passing is pulled off by pressing fire and directing the pass, whereas holding down fire will kick the ball up ahead. Tackling involves aiming at the player, and diving if necessary. Set-piece kicks involve aiming the direction and angle by pressing fire at the right times to stop a crosshair.</p>

<p>This is the September/October 1997 issue (Volume 2), and actually not till this issue the "available every second month" from the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13198/best-of-sierra-nr-1/">Volume 1</a> (June/July 1997) comes true. From now it's really every 2 months.</p>
<p>The following two full version games are the title games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/135/roberta-williams-kings-quest-vii-the-princeless-bride/">King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3169/the-even-more-incredible-machine/">The Even More! Incredible Machine</a></li>
</ul>
<p>And as a bonus, the following additional full version game is included:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/439/roberta-williams-kings-quest-i-quest-for-the-crown/">King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown</a> (the remake)</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, there are the following demos on the CD too: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2295/3-d-ultra-minigolf/">3-D Ultra Minigolf</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/998/lords-of-the-realm-ii/">Lords of the Realm II</a>, and <em>Print Artist 3</em>.</p>
<p>On top of this, the <em>Sierra Diving Adventure</em> screensaver is also included on the CD.</p>
<p>The special features in the magazine, which comes with the CD, are: a 6 pages long comic, which tells the background story of what happened from <a href="/game_group/sheet/gameGroupId,3/"><em>King's Quest 1</em> to <em>King's Quest 6</em></a>; two detailed Walkthroughs for both <em>King's Quest</em> games and 2 help pages for solving complex puzzles in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3169/the-even-more-incredible-machine/">The Even More! Incredible Machine</a>; and an article about the upcoming <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/136/kings-quest-mask-of-eternity/">King's Quest: Mask of Eternity</a>, including an interview with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/60/roberta-williams/">Roberta Williams</a>.</p>

<p>This issue of the monthly software subscription includes a pair of games: <a href="/search/?q=Accordion">Accordion</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13143/pixel-puzzler/">Pixel Puzzler</a> (complete with the Pixel Puzzle Maker tool). Its text-based menu system also provides access to the usual assortment of applications, clip art and articles, including <a href="/search/?q=John+Romero">John Romero</a>'s reviews of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6055/archipelagos/">Archipelagos</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Starglider+2">Starglider II</a>.</p>

<p>In this domino game, two players are each given a hand of five square tiles with numbers on each side.  The players take turns placing these tiles onto a seven-by-nine grid, but tiles can only be placed next to one another if their touching sides have the same numeric value.  Fortunately, tiles can be rotated to find the best possible fit.  Every time a tile is put down, the player that placed it scores a number of points equal to the number of sides touching tiles already on the board multiplied by the values of those sides.  Certain areas of the board are marked as BONUS or MINUS squares -- placing a tile on one of these causes a player to immediately gain or lose twenty points.  The game supports player vs. player, player vs. computer and computer vs. computer play, and it also has three difficulty levels.  Higher difficulty levels feature a greater variety of tiles for players to cope with.  In-game hints are available if needed.</p>

<p>This game combines four popular children's card games into one program.  For solitaire fun, it offers Memory Match, the classic "flip the cards and look for matching pairs" challenge.  For play against a computer opponent, it provides Old Maid, Go Fish and Slapjack.  The first two of these barely need explanation, but Slapjack is slightly less well-known.  In it, players take turns laying down cards.  If a Jack is played, the first player to slap it takes the whole pile of cards.  The winner is whichever player manages to collect the whole deck.  Because of the element of reflexes to this game, adjustable difficulty levels are provided to modify the computer's reaction speed.</p>

<p>This issue of the monthly software subscription contains only one full-version game: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3427/chagunitzu/">Chagunitzu</a>, the precursor to Apogee's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/911/paganitzu/">Paganitzu</a> action/puzzle game. The issue does include some other entertainment-oriented material, however: Dino-Sorcerer (a program which generates random dinosaur pictures), a demo version of Micro Bridge Companion (software for fans of the card game) and a review of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Harpoon">Harpoon</a>. These items, along with additional applications and articles, are accessed through a text-based menu system.</p>

<p>This game centers around rearranging the letters of words.  It has several different modes.  In the standard game, a word is presented and the player must find as many words as possible by mixing around letters from the word.  In the "anagrams only" game, things work much like the standard game, but the player must use all of the letters of the word to make new words; subsets are not allowed.  In "?-letter words only," the player may only create words of a specified length.  Finally, in "unscramble," the word's letters are initially displayed as a jumble and the player must rearrange them.  When the player quits, the game displays any answers that were missed and gives statistics regarding play.</p>

<p><em>Word Ladders</em> is a variant on the common word puzzle in which the player must turn one word into another by changing one letter at a time, with each intervening step still being a valid English word. The game is broken into rounds which offer increasingly challenging puzzles; there is an optional Expert Mode which adds further difficulty to play. Each puzzle has a par, which is the number of steps the player is expected to need to complete a transformation. Breaking par causes a penalty to the score, while completing a puzzle quickly leads to a timer-related bonus. Players start the game with three lives, and lives are lost by running out of time or (in Expert Mode only) attempting to create an invalid word.</p>

<p>This trivia game displays a map of the United States and quizzes the player on states and/or capitals.  User-specified settings determine what kinds of questions are asked (states only, capitals only or states and capitals) and how many multiple-choice answers are provided (two, four or six).  The game adapts to the user by asking incorrectly-answered questions more frequently.</p>

<p>A simulation of WW2 air-warfare in which the player flies a B-24 as part of the 460th Bomber Group missions to Ploesti in Romania. The game operates on several levels, and the player will be required to act as a pilot, copilot, navigator, engineer and bombardier at different stages of each mission. The performance of your B-24 influences the effectiveness of your Group, Wing and ultimately the Air Force itself. B-24 is a simulator with a difference - you control your bomber (and the Group) from a top-down perspective rather than from a 1st person perspective.</p>

</ul>

<p>Quadrel is a puzzle game in which you must fill each piece of the selected layout with different colored paints, without painting two adjacent pieces the same color.</p>
<p>At the beginning of a game, you can select the desired image or layout, as well as whether you wish to play with unlimited time or not. You can also select the "Imposed" game mode, in which the game points which piece you must fill next. Each layout has a set amount of paint available for use, in four different colors: red, green, blue and yellow. The amount of brush stokes left for each color is indicated on your palette. Some layouts have a large amount of a particular color and a very small amount of another, while other layouts have a more even amount of each color. The goal is to plan well from the start, so as to avoid running out of a particular color that will be needed to finish the layout.</p>
<p>The game can be played in solitaire mode, against the computer, or against another human player on the same screen. There are no sound effects during gameplay, only music. If you manage to finish a layout, you can enter your name in a high score table.</p>

<p>The Confederation of Syndicalist Republics is the setting for this strategy and combat game. Much like the similar looking USSR at the time, the society is crumbling, and you are an upstart aiming to take over power for yourself ….. erm, I mean, aiming to bring peace, harmony, prosperity and happiness. </p>
<p>You start off in a small coastal province, and must progress by meeting people and negotiating to get them on your side – sometimes the sword is mightier than the pen, sometimes not. You must ensure that the more militant locals are pacified, and that ethnic minorities are looked after.</p>
<p>While those sections are all strategic, there are also some vector-based combat sections. These ensure that brawns are required along with brains, and give the game some variety.</p>

<p>This is the second adventure in which the player takes on the role of the Inspector, a crime-solving fighter/mage.  This time around, an apprentice at a school of wizardry has been murdered, and the player must investigate and find the culprit.  The player must move around a rather tiny map of his or her surroundings, searching for clues, talking to other characters and occasionally fighting enemies through a menu-based combat system.  There are items to collect and equip, experience points to gain, spells to cast and, of course, a crime to solve.</p>

<p>This program displays phrases that appear to have been printed on a defective dot matrix printer -- they are missing lines of pixels.  The greater the difficulty level (Easy, Medium or Hard), the more pixels are missing.  The player must figure out what the phrase says and type it in.  Answering correctly leads to more information relating to the phrase (the person who said a famous quote or the answer to a riddle) and a congratulatory line of synthesized speech.  The game's instructions include information on creating your own puzzles for use with the program.</p>

<p>This program helps its user to learn American Sign Language.  Using vector graphics, it allows the player to look up the signs for various letters and words; it can even read a text file on screen in ASL at variable speeds.  Once the user has studied sufficiently, the program offers a quiz mode where it displays signs and requires the user to type in what they mean.  The program is quite configurable, even allowing the user to specify whether the signs displayed on screen should be right- or left-handed.</p>

<p>A football management simulation with an arcade component where you manage the world's most famous football team. Lead them through a season to see how many trophies you can win. You can pick your dream team for the positions you want and see how they do in the championships.</p>
<p>The management side lets you choose and configure your team, choosing training schedules to develop your players and viewing their skills.</p>
<p>The arcade side can be used purely as a hands off simulation, or as a way to have a direct effect on the result.</p>

<p><em>Whizz</em> is one of the few 3D platformers to use an isometric viewpoint. The controls reflect this, with moving the controller to the right actually moving the character down and right, moving it down and right moving the character down directly, and so on. Each level is played out against a time limit, and the paths through the level aren’t always clear-cut. There are four different types of doors, each of which needs a particular icon to pass (the icons represent the door type, such as ice or bricks, rather than hot water or a key, or anything you’d logically expect to clear the path). You can avoid the baddies, which may be the best option, as killing them costs you some energy –this reduces the significance of the points system.</p>

<p>In <em>World Championship Boxing Manager</em> the player can develop the careers of aspiring heavyweight boxers. The options are selected through an icon-based system, representing the manager's office.</p>
<p>Training the boxers involves deciding which areas they should work on, considering their strengths and weaknesses and any damage inflicted in previous fights, and those of their next opponent. There are 97 of these in the game, so reaching the top of the rankings will take about 15-20 fights. Choosing a beatable opponent who can get the fight as high up the Friday Night bill as possible, as well as negotiating the best financial deal and a mutually agreeable dare, are the main considerations.</p>
<p>Two different governing bodies are included in the game, each with subtly different rules. A fight in one set of rules won't be viewed quite as significantly by the other.</p>
<p>The matches are presented from the commentary box, with the two expert analysts exchanging textual descriptions of the key punches, and who is doing the best (a clue to how any judges’ decision would go). Before and during the fights the player can instruct the boxer as to what tactics to adopt.</p>

<p>This compilation includes five full-version games on five 720K floppy disks:</p>

</ul>
<p>The box also contains a 204-page manual, a quick start card with instructions on running the games, an addendum card for Jack Nicklaus' Unlimited Golf and Course Design, and a keyboard control reference for F-19 Stealth Fighter.</p>

<p>This game, set during the Gulf War, features a series of twenty missions in various Middle East locations. There are three mission types: Scud Defense, Jet Defense and Tomahawk Offensive. The defense-type missions are reminiscent of <a href="/search/?q=Missile+Command">Missile Command</a> -- jets and missiles appear on the screen, and the player must defend cities on the ground by directing defensive fire with the mouse. In the Tomahawk Offensive missions, the situation is reversed -- the player is given a target and must hit it by maneuvering a missile around defensive fire, launching it towards the ground as soon as it is lined up with its intended target.</p>

<p>This top-down puzzle game starts with a screen featuring a number of red cogs at different parts of the screen, and a grid of pegs (which become less complete on later levels). Your task on each level is to use a number of gears of one of 3 different sizes to ensure that all the cogs are linked together. All this has to be completed before the engine overheats.</p>
<p>Making life harder are two creatures with the peculiar name "Poffins". One of these goes around removing pegs, and the other causes the engine to overheat further. They can be shot out of the way, or have gears placed over them to stop them.</p>
<p>There's also a bonus round, which is a fruit machine, only with cogs and other things from the game rather than fruit.</p>

<p>Released to coincide with the 1994 World Cup, this one has an overhead view similar to Sensible Soccer. Real teams are provided at both club and national level – although, contrary to what the packaging claimed, the player names are invented. The players vary in speed, and in which skills (such as heading, overhead kicks, close control and shooting) they are competent in. Running with the ball generally works better than passing. Plenty of tournaments are offered, as is the chance to edit team data and kits. One advantage it has over the original Sensible Soccer is onscreen referees and linesmen.</p>

<p><em>Zig Zag Flag Shag</em> contains ten puzzles in which the goal is to move from the left side of a seven by twelve grid to a specific space containing a flag located off of the right side of the grid. To accomplish this goal, the player can move orthogonally or by using chess-style knight moves. To make things more challenging, the player has a limited number of moves in each direction (which varies from level to level and by difficulty setting). Additionally, some puzzle squares contain stop signs (which force the player to start over) or arrows (which automatically move the player to another square). The game also features synthesized speech through the PC speaker.</p>

<p>This issue of the monthly software subscription contains two games: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13213/kids-kards/">Kid's Kards</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13212/fourside/">FourSide</a>. It also features a system slow-down utility (called SpeedBrake) which happens to be written by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=John+Romero">John Romero</a>. The issue's scrolling menu is also filled out with some articles (including a review of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Qix">Qix</a>), clip art and some non-game software.</p>

<p>The majority of this issue of the monthly software subscription is filled up with games. The issue's scrolling menu provides access to three entertainment titles: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3336/dark-designs-ii-closing-the-gate/">Dark Designs II: Closing The Gate</a>, <a href="/search/?q=Word+Ladders">Word Ladders</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13224/handy-caps/">Handy Caps</a>. The remainder of the space is taken up by clip art, articles and a file-searching DOS utility.</p>

<p>This issue of the monthly software subscription consists primarily of games: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13233/american-sign-language-tutor/">American Sign Language Tutor</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13231/legends-of-murder-ii-grey-haven/">Legends of Murder II: Grey Haven</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13232/missing-dots-matrix/">Missing Dots Matrix</a>. The remainder of the space in the disk's scrolling, text-based menu is taken up with articles and DOS utilities. A walkthrough for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13231/legends-of-murder-ii-grey-haven/">Legends of Murder II: Grey Haven</a> is also provided on the disk.</p>

<p>This issue of the monthly software subscription focuses primarily on graphics, with a lot of space devoted to clip art and random image generation software. However, there is still room in the disk's scrolling, text-based menu for the usual blend of articles, utilities and, of course, a game: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13298/zig-zag-flag-shag/">Zig Zag Flag Shag</a>, a short puzzle game with a "capture the flag" theme and support for digitized speech through the PC Speaker.</p>

<p>In this solitaire card game, the player is presented with a pyramid of twenty-eight cards.  There is also a draw pile and a discard pile.  Cards may be discarded from the pyramid if they are completely uncovered and their face value is one point higher or lower than the card on the top of the discard pile.  If no cards can be discarded, the top card of the discard pile can be replaced with a fresh card from the draw pile.  The object is to discard all of the cards in the pyramid; if the draw pile runs out before this happens, the game ends in failure.  There are two difficulty levels -- in level one, all cards in the pyramid are face-up, but in level two, cards remain face-down until they are uncovered.  The game keeps track of ten high scores.</p>

<p>In this children's game, a rabbit named Eddie is collecting change in his piggy bank.  Each round, an amount of money is displayed on the screen.  By moving Eddie under the correct types of coins and jumping up to catch them, the player has to count out exactly the right amount of change.  Despite the elements of moving and jumping, no dexterity or timing is required to play; the player can't possibly miss a coin, and the challenge is entirely mathematical.</p>

<p>This issue of the monthly software subscription features two games: <a href="/search/?q=Castle+of+Kroz">Castle of Kroz</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Scramble+(1990)">Scramble</a>. These are available from a scrolling, text-based menu along with a variety of articles, utilities and applications (including Spanish Tutor, a simplistic memorization and testing tool, and Words for Kids, a children's word processor).</p>

<p>This short text adventure casts the player as the sole survivor of a space disaster involving the luxury liner "Adonis."  Stranded on a hostile planet full of monsters after a lifepod landing, the player must reach the planet's only other human occupants and find a way home.  The game features a simple two-word parser, lots of "instant death" locations (making mapping important) and relatively few puzzles.</p>

<p><em>3-D Tic-Tac-Toe</em> is, as the name implies, a 3D version of <em>Tic-Tac-Toe</em>. The object of the game is to place four X's or four O's in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row on the 4x4x4 board.</p>
<p>There are nine games of which the first eight games are for one human player against the computer. The numbers 1-8 represent the skill level. Game 9 is a two player game. In the DOS version there are only two difficulty settings and no two player game.</p>

<p>Dr. Wily seeks once more to conquer the earth with his robotic creations and it's up to Megaman to stop him. This time, Megaman will face the likes of six different robot masters and the monsters within their levels. These bosses are Torch Man, Blade Man, Oil Man, Bit Man, Shark Man and Wave Man.</p>
<p>Mega Man 3 is a side-scroller platform game. Megaman's main abilities are his ability to fire energy shots from his arm and his jumping ability. When Megaman confronts a boss, he must bring their energy meter down to zero at which point they are destroyed and Megaman can claim a special weapon unique to that boss. Megaman is also able to swim in this particular game.</p>

<p>In the future, the world is controlled by corporations rather than governments, and wars are fought in a dream world rather than in reality. The corporations can control dream demons to defeat their foes, but resistance fighters still defy them. The player is one of these resistance fighters hoping to rescue some friends from the control of Ocular, the mightiest of all dream demons.</p>
<p>Gameplay is somewhat reminiscent of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8255/xenophobe/">Xenophobe</a>, with the player moving through side-scrolling, space-station-like environments shooting at an endless onslaught of strange creatures. By making good use of power-ups and gaining access to new levels, the player can eventually find Ocular, which can only be defeated if all six of its eyes are shot closed.</p>

<p>A detailed recreation of rallying licensed from Toyota Great Britain. Driving on gravel, asphalt and ice is involved, with each race made up of a series of short stages to complete. After each stage, your times are compared with those of your rivals, whose names are subtly changed from the real drivers of the day. Up to four human players can be involved, taking it in turns.</p>
<p>As visibility is sometimes low, and the exact curvature of a corner isn't always obvious from the apex, a co-driver is provided to give pace notes. These can be adjusted before you take to the track, specifying what is defined as 'hard left' and how early the warning should be given.</p>
<p>The steering sensitivity can be adjusted, and you can choose between automatic centering, and a push-the-opposite-way-to-centre mode, but more unusual is the option to race with the steering directions reversed - definitely one for advanced players.</p>

<p>This game is like a cross between a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Kroz">Kroz</a> game and a text adventure -- the player moves through a castle using the arrow keys, picking up equipment and battling monsters in real-time along the way; however, at any time, it is also possible to type simple commands into the game's text parser, allowing a greater variety of actions and more complex solutions to problems. The object of the game is to escape from the 83-room castle while collecting as many of the thirteen available treasures as possible.</p>

<p>This fantasy adventure has the player exploring a castle in search of treasures.  The castle is an eight-by-eight-by-eight grid, with eight levels containing sixty-four rooms each.  Its contents are randomized at the start of each game.  There are eight major treasures to seek (including the palintir and the silmaril) and twelve monster types to avoid (from pitiful kobolds to might dragons); players can choose from four different character races (elf, dwarf, man or hobbit) and, with sufficient intelligence, can cast three different spells (web, fireball and deathspell).</p>
<p>After picking a race, distributing attribute scores and spending money to gain weapons, armor and other equipment, the player enters the castle.  Rooms are portrayed by short textual descriptions and grid numbers showing where they fit into the grand scheme of things.  Gameplay consists of typing simple text commands to move, fight and gather treasure.  A map is automatically generated during play, but it can only be viewed for a brief moment at a time before it disappears off the screen (even on very slow computers).</p>

<p>This simplistic clone of <a href="/search/?q=Q*Bert">Q*Bert</a> features familiar gameplay -- the player must move around on a pyramid changing the color of blocks by stepping on them while avoiding monsters and falling rocks. There are even teleport disks on each side of the pyramid which can transport the player back to the top in an emergency.</p>

<p>This short text adventure (written in a mere 181 lines of BASIC code) has the player exploring a vampire's lair in search of the game's "concealed goal."  Not surprisingly, room descriptions are extremely terse and there aren't a whole lot of actions to perform.  The parser accepts two-word commands (though it only looks at the first three letters of any given word) and has a vocabulary of about seventy words.</p>

<p>This compilation contains the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/745/sam-max-hit-the-road/">Sam &amp; Max: Hit the Road</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/719/maniac-mansion-day-of-the-tentacle/">Day of the Tentacle</a> speech versions, as well as a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/201/grim-fandango/">Grim Fandango</a> demo movie, all on a single disc.

<p>This is the first release of both games for the Amiga platform. It consists of the original PC CD (LucasArts Classic release) and an additional Amiga CD with the installer and documentation. The games are played with the bundled emulator ScummVM.</p>

<p><em>Wizard Warz</em> is an overhead view action game with very light role-playing elements. The player starts off as an apprentice wizard whose goal is to defeat seven master wizards and become the chief wizard himself. To accomplish that he must return six treasures to their rightful owners and find more powerful spells. </p>
<p>The wizard starts with four minor spells of the player's choice, and can acquire new ones during the course of the game. The gameplay focuses on exploring wilderness areas and fighting monsters. Enemies have their own strengths and weaknesses to the wizard's offensive magical barrage, so choosing the right spell against the right foe is usually the key to success. The wizard can also summon a familiar to help him on his mission. For example, having a crow will extend the player's viewing distance.</p>

As in its followup, here players take the role of three different heroes (though, opposite to <a href="/search/?q=Gobliins">Goblins series</a>, one at time). They are Doug, the smart safe cracker; Dino, the strong, but dumb, boxer; and Donna, the sexy club dancer. </p>
<p>The game takes place in Tokyo. While all three characters explore almost the same areas, each of the heroes has its own story to follow and puzzles to solve. You can choose which character would you like to play first, and which - lastly. When you have finished all three sub-plots, you'll get a final with all three characters acting altogether.</p>
<p>The game features cartoonish, comics-style graphics, unique icon-based interface and non-linear plot. It is also full of Italian humor, and the game is played more like a comedy, rather then crime-based adventure.</p>

<p>A version of an old Norse board game called King's Table. The game has black and white teams, like chess, but each team has different pieces and a different raison d'etre. </p>
<p>The white team has a total of 13 pieces, the most important one being Odin the King, who starts in the centre of the 10x10 board and moves in the same way as a chess King, whereas black has 20 pawns and four other pieces. White wins if Odin can reach one of the corner squares; black wins if it surrounds Odin on all 4 sides. The pawns actually move the same way as chess queens, but pieces are captured by surrounding them on 2 sides (although some special pieces must be surrounded on 3 sides). The specials are chosen from the selection at the start of the game, and have a variety of abilities, some 'borrowed' from chess.</p>
<p>The presentation of this interpretation is similar to Battle Chess, with bold 3D graphics and lots of animation.</p>

<p><em>Treasure Mountain</em> is an educational game designed for children ages 5-9. The Master of Mischief has stolen the magic crown as well as other treasures and hidden them on Treasure Mountain! Your goal is to locate the magic crown and as many of the treasures as possible while climbing your way to the top. To make your way up the mountain, you will need to find keys which unlock a path. The keys are hidden somewhere behind an object on each level of the mountain. To find out what is behind an object you need to use one of your magic coins. However, the number of coins you have is limited and there are many places to search so you first need to find clues as to where keys (and treasures!) are located. Wandering about the mountain are numerous elves; if you catch a scroll carrying elf in your net, he'll ask a question. A correct answer will provide a clue. After reaching the top of the multi-leveled mountain, all the treasures you collected along the way will be put back in the treasure chest, and you begin again at the bottom with a tougher difficulty level. After all treasures have been brought to the top, you can find the crown and win the game!</p>

<p>This add-on for the original release of <a href="/search/?q=SimCity">SimCity</a> adds three different alternate looks to the game: Ancient Asia, Medieval Times and Wild West. Gameplay is unchanged by installation of the Graphics Set, but all in-game graphics and text are replaced. Buildings all look different, and the various events and disasters are reinterpreted and given a different flavor.</p>

<p>Young Morris Rolph has been trapped in limbo due to a malfunction on Dr Krankenpot's new teleport machine. Now he's been split into his 4 component parts, represented by liquid, gas, a hard ball and a bouncy ball, and he must get through 24 levels (36 on the special A1200 version - mirroring the game's plot-line of improved technology causing more problems for Morris) to retrieve the parts of the machine so it can be rebuilt to bring him back to life.</p>
<p>The gameplay is vaguely influenced by <a href="/search/?q=Lemmings">Lemmings</a>, as the levels are populated by lots of points which can't be crossed in all forms - walls, fires, gaps, thornbushes and suchlike. You get a set number of transformations on each level, although extra ones can be picked up at times, and there are heaters and freezers dotted around which cause transformations in some states. All this is done against a time limit. Like <a href="/search/?q=Lemmings+2">Lemmings 2</a>, you can take on the next level in each of the worlds at any time, so you have to be stuck 4 times before you can't progress.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14610/cauldron/">Cauldron</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/18523/cauldron-ii-the-pumpkin-strikes-back/">Cauldron II</a> were successful in the 8-bit days, and this moved the series forward. Zmira the witch must negotiate four worlds, each split into bite-size chunks, in order to retrieve her magical powers and restore the kingdom</p>
<p>The levels are populated with bats, trolls and snakes, which have programmed attack patterns and follow you off the screen. You can collect and cast up to 12 spells, which are accessed using the cursor or function keys (the manual amusingly refers to STs and Amigas having F11 and F12 keys, which they don't). These include upgraded weapons (the default one isn't especially powerful), and help such as magic staircases and a metal melter. Some sections of water kill you, other identical ones take you to different sections.</p>

<p>This is a compilation of the voxel-based simulations of the helicopter RAH-66. It contains the following games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5078/comanche-maximum-overkill/">Comanche: Maximum Overkill</a> (base game)</li>

</ul>
<p>In addition, the compilation offers ten bonus missions.</p>

<p>WizardWorks continues two traditions with this disc, shoveling together user made levels for commercial distribution and naming their compilations "Retribution" (as with their <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Starcraft+Retribution">Starcraft add-on</a>).</p>
<p><em>W!Zone II: Retribution</em> contains over fifty levels for use with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II</a> along with a copy of the Warcraft II strategy guide found on the first W!Zone disc.</p>

<p>A shareware game, based freely on Avalon Hill &amp; Co's board game "Panzerblitz".</p>
<p>If you know this game, or any similar game, like <a href="/search/?q=Panzer">Panzer General</a>, all the Panzer Campaign games etc, you will immediately recognize the style of this game, and should have no trouble understanding the rules.</p>
<p>The map is set up in squares, where you move you square units, with an image on, around. Pretty standard stuff for these style games. You run them into each other when you wanna fight.</p>
<p>It offers tree scenarios set in 43/44, 10-12 turns each, with victory conditions determined by 'location' and as many units destroyed as you can of the opposite side.</p>

<p>This game is actually a lot like chess!  It’s a games designed to simulate pitched battles in the Ancient world. There is a set of armies available from the earliest times until the fall of the Western Roman Empire, in 475 A.D.</p>
<p>You can design the terrain and/or units, set-up each side’s troops and then it's just on to the battle. You are doing nothing but fighting the battle you created.</p>
<p>There are also some pre-designed scenarios and maps for your enjoyment.</p>

<p><em>Scenariomania</em> is an unofficial Add On CD containing about 650 maps for 5 different games. Furthermore, it also includes Level-, Savegame-Editors, and Trainers. But none of these were particularly designed for this CD, just collected from different sources and bundled together.</p>
<p>The 5 games in detail:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a> (89 maps)</li>
<li><a href="/search/?q=Descent">Descent</a> (62 maps)</li>

<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">WarCraft II: Tides of Darkness</a> (354 maps)</li>
</ul>

<p>This is an unofficial Add On CD for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">WarCraft II: Tides of Darkness</a>, containing 112 maps. None of these maps were particularly designed for this Add On.</p>

<p><em>Arcade Pool</em> is an overhead viewed pool game designed to be easy to control. The game includes the most standard games of pool (UK and US 8-ball and the fast-paced 9-ball game), each with customisable rules, computer players of variable difficulties, and two-player options. There's also a Survivor mode, which is similar to the early Pool arcade game, in that you're playing alone and have to clear the table without missing more than three times. Speed Pool involved clearing the table as quickly as you can - two minutes can be considered a good time.</p>
<p>The Amiga version includes automatic enhancements for accelerated systems, those with more than 1 MB of memory, or the AGA chipset (so a standard A1200 wins on all three counts).</p>

<p>Troika is a collection of three arcade style games: Rebel Planets, Ivan's Time Machine, and Metal Hearts, from Russian programmer <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/59013/dima-pavlovsky/">Dima Pavlovsky</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Rebel Planets</strong> is an arcade shooter where you control a small ship at the bottom of the screen and shoot a cylindrical projectile upwards. The goal is to destroy enemies on the screen with the projectile while making sure the projectile does not come into contact with various obstacles scattered around the screen. This plays like a cross between <a href="/search/?q=Space+Invaders">Space Invaders</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Ivan's Time Machine</strong> is a puzzle game in which the objective is to collect all the money on the game screen by wending your way through a maze in which you have to move blocks out of the way to open up passages, you have move these blocks in the correct order or else you trap yourself or seal yourself off from parts of the maze. This is very similar to the popular Japanese puzzle game <a href="/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a>.</p>
<p>In <strong>Metal Hearts</strong> you play the role of a plumber whose job it is to connect two water mains together using a changing series of elbow joints and straight sections. You are in a race against the clock as the water begins to flow down the pipe you are building from the input to the output. This is a clone of the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2112/pipe-dream/">Pipe Dream</a>.</p>

<p>This action game is adapted from the Italian comic book <em>Ranx à New-York</em> by <a href="/search/?q=Stefano+Tamburini">Stefano Tamburini</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/469722/tanino-liberatore/">Tanino Liberatore</a>. Here the player controls Ranx, a cyborg in a cyberpunk-style world. A lethal virus is spreading, and the President has caught it, so Ranx must go to New York with the antidote to save him. After this, he must rescue his girlfriend in Rome. </p>
<p>Ranx will fight with ninjas, homosexuals, the Chinese, and others, using his kicks and punches. Items can be picked up including pieces for later repairs and items which can be sold when talking to other characters. Destroy street lamps to get money, but make sure the police don't see.</p>

<p><em>Super Pac-Man</em> is a game in <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/sheet/companyId=1043">Namco</a>'s <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game_group/sheet/gameGroupId,132">Pac-Man</a> family, but instead of gobbling up dots, Pac is required to eat fruit and prizes, such as apples, bunches of bananas, doughnuts, hamburgers, fried eggs, ears of corn, sneakers, pieces of cakes, raspberries, limes, cups of coffee, mushrooms, Galaxians, bells, and shamrocks. Most of these items are hidden in passages that have locked doors at either entrance, and in order to unlock the doors, Pac needs to eat the key that is closest to the passage that he wishes to unlock. As usual, ghosts will keep chasing Pac around the maze until he has lost all his lives. However, Pac can enter the warp tunnels at either side of the maze to lose the ghosts quickly.</p>
<p>There are two types of power pellets in the maze: green and yellow. Yellow power pellets cause ghosts to turn blue, allowing Pac to eat them for points, whereas green ones cause Pac to enlarge and will also cause the ghosts to become much thinner and wider, allowing him to fly over them. He can also break open the doors without the need of keys. The effects of the pellets, unfortunately, only last for a number of seconds. During the time that he is enlarged, a flashing star will appear besides two boxes that are located in the middle of the maze. The first box will display the current fruit or prize, and the other will display a rotating selection of them. If Pac manages to eat the star when they match there will be a large bonus score.</p>
<p>Occasionally, after three or more stages, there will be a bonus stage where Pac automatically gets enlarged. The object of these stages is to eat everything in the maze before the time runs out and, during these stages, there will be no ghosts to pursue him.</p>

<p>Essentially similar to <a href="/search/?q=The+Settlers">The Settlers</a> AKA Serf City, <em>Global Effect</em> involves building up a sound local economy before going out to attack other nations and rule the world. Cities must contain housing, food sources, and power supplies, which is where it gets complicated. You can choose the environmental settings of the game, in a similar way to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/78026/civilization/">Civilization</a> - an icy world or a post-apocalyptic one make things much tougher.</p>
<p>Environmental factors play the biggest part in this game, as you have to use efficient power sources if possible. You only get a certain level of power at the start of the game, and have to build enough 'green' things to increase it further - trees are the most effective.</p>
<p>Once you have a fully functional city capable of supporting military units of any quality, these can be directed off into battle by giving them pre-planned flight paths which can be overridden if need be.</p>
<p>Two-player games can be played via null-modem cables, even across different systems.</p>

<p><em>FlixMix</em> is a jigsaw puzzle game in which the user has to assemble a jigsaw puzzle from square pieces. But there is a catch: the jigsaw puzzle is an animated picture, so each piece is not a static part of a picture but a small part of a large animation you have to assemble. You can set a number of options such as the number of pieces and whether the animation randomly plays back and forth or just in one direction. There are also four different modes of play for single or multi player, in this case more like party play. The animations vary from optical illusions to simple CG.</p>

<p>The follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11960/rugby-the-world-cup/">Rugby: The World Cup</a>. The game features more options than before, with an icon-driven menu system including different control choices and match lengths.</p>
<p>Controls are similar to the original game, but tackling is now harder and requires more precise player placement, and rucks and mauls are implemented. As before, the scrums involve joystick-waggling, and are crucial to advancing the ball. Conversions are taken from a separate 3D view.</p>

<p>As usual, a computer has been put in control of vast stretches of an intergalactic empire. As usual, it has failed and locked the entire area into limbo. As usual, you're the one who has to sort this mess out, by reaching the computer and destroying it.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the area en route to it is vast and treacherous, with lots of obstacles to shoot out, and you will need to trade your items in order to get enough fuel to get there.</p>
<p>The gameplay resembles <a href="/search/?q=Elite">Elite</a>, involving first-person space shooting and trading.</p>

<p>An officially licensed product of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games, Inc.</p>
<p>This was the first true 3D multi-event sports game with 15 sporting events (100 meters, 400 meters, 100M crawl, Javelin, Hammer, Discus, Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump, Pole Vault, Fencing, Rapid Fire Pistol, Weight Lifting, Archery, Skeet Shooting) that mirrored those in the actual Atlanta '96 games.</p>
<p>The game supported up to 8 players, competing in arcade-style games and Olympic-style tournaments.</p>
<p>The in-game commentary was by BBC Radio 5's Alan Green.</p>

<p>In this spaceflight 'simulator' / 3D shooter, your race (the Delphins) is sharing a far away planet with the Halons. Your side of the planet is constantly engulfed in total darkness but the Delphins have adapted to this life. The Halons used to live in the light but recent events have caused their side of the planet to fall dark and now they are attacking you in an attempt to take over your technology.</p>
<p>As a Delphin pilot, your job is to stop them and take down of their attacking ships which is what most of the gameplay consists of; finding enemy ships and killing them.</p>

<p>Player Manager 2 sets you as an international-standard soccer player who's stepped into being a player-manager at a lower-division side. The challenge is to reach the Premier League and survive.</p>
<p>Most of the standard features of management games are present, including pre-match tactics (which are fairly customizable), a full transfer market including short-term loan deals, detailed player statistics (presented visually), ground improvements and coaching.</p>
<p>Playing the matches is optional, as you can simply watch instead. There are 4 playing views, and you can play in position or as a team. Initially your player is by far the best in the team, so choose his position and use him wisely. Once you reach retirement age you can only play the matches for 3 out of every 4 seasons (which is poorly explained by an 'assistant manager' concept, but is more likely an attempt to make the game harder. This would make little sense though, because scoring is very, very hard in player-manager mode).</p>
<p>Before each match you get a video report from renowned pundit Alan Hansen, as well as some form notes which are said to be Hansen's.</p>

<p>Eight man-years of development resulted in this detailed recreation of golf, endorsed by one of the great players of the 1980s. Two courses are included, with 3D modeling of the effects of ball lie and swing style. You can disable ball effects to make it more straightforward, and weather and wind effects are optional.</p>
<p>Match play and stroke play are included, as are Fourball, Foursome and Greensome modes for 4 players in 2 teams of two, as well as a practice mode. The game is played from a 3D perspective, with an overhead view before each shot.</p>

<p>This is the earliest home computer incarnation of Horn Abbot International Ltd's classic board game, <em>Trivial Pursuit</em>. The game involves answering questions on one of six subject categories to gain moves, and answering questions on special squares to gain one of the six 'Wedges' you need to gain the right to take on the final winning question. Questions are aimed at British players - many entertainment questions are based on British TV, and sport questions relate to popular British sports.</p>
<p>Two game modes are available: Single Player (which involves answering questions against the clock) and Multiplayer (where you can take on up to five human-controlled players). The computer reveals the answer, and you select 'yes' or 'no' to tell it whether you got it right.</p>
<p>The question categories are exactly the same as the board game: Art &amp; Literature, Science &amp; Nature, Geography, History, Sports &amp; Leisure, and Entertainment. However two different question styles are added to take advantage of computer technology - some questions relate to a picture or diagram and some relate to a piece of music. </p>
<p>One additional feature not available in the board game is a statistical analysis of the number and type of questions answered correctly. This can be split into the performances of all the players, or the performance of an individual player within the six categories. It is especially useful at the end of the game, when choosing which category a player must answer to win the game.</p>

<p>1581, Japan. Fearing a rebellion and striving to conquer the entire country, the warlock Nobunaga orders to attack the Iga ninja clan. The ninjas bravely defend their village, but, being vastly outnumbered, are mercilessly slain by Nobunaga's men. Only one survived: you, the hero of the game. Shortly before the assault you were sent to a nearby village to warn the elder of Nobunaga's attack. However, the other village is also destroyed by Nobunaga's army. You swear to avenge his crime. But for now, you are just an inexperienced young men, and are "wanted" by Nobunaga's men and ruthless bounty hunters. Will you be able to unite Japan in the ultimate struggle against Nobunaga?</p>
<p><em>Inindo: Way of the Ninja</em> is a Japanese-style RPG with a touch of strategy. You navigate your hero on the world map, visit towns, and descend into dungeons. The battles are turn-based and are viewed from a third-person perspective, like in <em>Final Fantasy</em> games. You can move on the battle field and use melee or long-ranged attacks. You'll be able to recruit characters of various classes to your party, who will join you for profit or for other reasons. After you gain enough experience, you'll also be able to talk to daimyos (feudal rulers) of various castles and to convince them to work together against Nobunaga. You can also perform various tasks for the daimyos, such as spying.</p>

<p><em>Formula Karts</em> is a semi-realistic racing title that attempts to capture the spirit of kart racing with it's low slung feeling of speed, and corner after corner of impressive handling (and inevitable sliding). The title supports both simulation and arcade modes, and features some effective race AI for non-player vehicles. Two player split screen is supported albeit with some slowdown.</p>

<p><em>Demon Day</em> is a funny medium-length adventure game inspired by titles like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/305/zak-mckracken-and-the-alien-mindbenders/">Zak McKracken</a>, the <a href="/search/?q=Monkey+Island">Monkey Island</a> series and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/714/maniac-mansion/">Maniac Mansion</a>.</p>
<p>Waking up from a weird dream our hero finds himself involved in a strange plot including possessed telechubbies, demons from other dimensions, friendly neighbours, a walk in the park and a kid that tyrannizes the local playground.</p>
<p>It will require some skill and a great deal of attention to clues for our hero to sort out the great mess and save the day. The game is packed with humorous dialogue and bizarre events that make solving the often perilous and absurd tasks more than worthwhile.</p>

<p>This multiple-choice quiz game asks fifty questions about astronomy. It covers all facets of astronomy, its history, the cosmos and the people who discovered it.
Interestingly, the player is given three marks and loses a mark every time a question is answered incorrectly. Bonus marks can be earned by answering five questions correctly. At the end of play, marks are cashed in for points, meaning that the best possible score is 63.</p>

<p>The first in a series of 'edutainment' titles long before the portmanteau term was popularized by marketing executives, Snooper Troops had younger players trying to solve the mystery of "The Granite Point Ghost", an entity that is trying to scare the Kim family out of their new home.</p>
<p>Using the SnoopNet computer, players will comb the streets of the neighborhood looking for clues, and investigating people's houses while they're away.  Speed is of the essence, as if your Snooper Troop is caught when the owner of the house returns home, you could be thrown off the case for good!</p>
<p>The title encourages players to keep facts on people, map the neighborhood, review clues, receive special messages, and ultimately, find enough information to accuse and convict the criminal trying to chase the Kim family out their home.</p>

<p>A third game in the tank combat series, following from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6240/team-yankee/">Team Yankee</a> (whose story and setting came from a book) and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6241/pacific-islands/">Pacific Islands</a> (set in an imaginary 1995 war). The third game imagines a situation in which Iraq invades Kuwait for a second time.</p>
<p>The series' main distinguishing feature was the way you always viewed all 4 tanks in a platoon at the same time, via a split screen. Action here is purely mouse-driven. The AI has been significantly updated from previous games in the series. A full roster of tanks and weapons are included, with Iraq mainly using Soviet machinery. A major consideration involves destroying particular buildings for money, and preventing other particular ones being destroyed, also for financial reasons.</p>

<p>You are John Hacker, a common guy sent by a British property company to speak with 'Count Dráscula' about some lands. By chance you meet a gorgeous blond girl who is kidnapped by the Count himself, and you, John Hacker, set on a fun yet dangerous quest to rescue her.</p>
<p>An old Spanish 2D classic point &amp; click style adventure with tons of humor and an easy interface.</p>

<p>The development of the game is based on the Umberto Eco's novel "The Name of the Rose", on which Guillermo de Baskerville along with its intrepid disciple Adzo de Melk have the order on the part of Abad of an Abbey (Abadía) forgotten of the hand of God, to clarify certain crimes that are granted to the hand of the Devil. With this attractive argument we became jumbled of such way in the game that until we do not solve it we are condemned to moor itself of permanent form to the computer.</p>

<p>The year is 2019, Manhattan. After a nuclear war.</p>
<p>Out of the ashes comes a hero, Jonathan Rogers, better known as "Jungle Rogers", the owner of the asphalt jungle. The only chance of survival is to reach the airdrop platform XV-238, located in the control base of the schizophrenic assassin professor McJerin, and to escape to outer colonies.</p>
<p>There is no easy way to do this. The game is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up, with thugs coming at you constantly, and a few moves to use on them. You must cross the dangerous streets of Manhattan, which have become overrun by feral thieves. Later you await the guardians of the scientific complex of McJerin.</p>

<p>The third licensed game based around the legendary British decathlete did something slightly wider in scope than the basic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Epyx+Games">Games</a> style of play. Before you play the main events you have to train in the gym. Weight-lifting, squats and sit-ups are included, which involve waggling the joystick as fast as you can to fill a displayed bottle of Lucozade (clever bit of product-placement there). The better you do at this, the better you'll fare in the events, which are predominantly waggling-based as well. They include the standard decathlon events of running, jumping and throwing as well as you can. There are four types of shoes available, and choosing the wrong one for the event will seriously hamper your performance.</p>

<p>The goal of this game is to remove as many tiles from the board as possible. Tiles are removed two at a time, matched tiles only, and, an eligible tile must have no other tile on top of it or touching it on at least one side... it must be open on either its left or right side.</p>
<p>There are two modes: solitary and tournament. In solitary mode there is no time limit. In tournament mode there is a pre-established time limit per game, but otherwise it is played the same as in solitary mode.</p>

<p>'El principio del fin' is a Spanish old amateur adventure game where you are Alfredo, a loser wandering through the streets as a beggar. One day 'Ricardina' his fairy godmother appeared and gave to him his most wanted wish: Going back to school and rearrange his life as a successful student.
You will have to use all kinds of methods to pass all the exams (stealing exams, fooling other students, and a long list...)</p>
<p>The game is 1st person perspective and played by mouse. The interface is a common adventure game one, with all the typical actions listed (Look, get, talk, and so on).</p>
<p>The game was only released in Spanish.</p>

<p>Alfred Pelrock is a guy with no seeming objective in his life until one night he awakens by a mysterious dream. An Egyptian princess has been held in a pyramid for eternity by his father, the pharaoh. So Alfred decides to travel to ancient Egypt to search for his 'beloved'.</p>
<p>This is a classic adventure game in the same style as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14108/drascula-the-vampire-strikes-back/">Dráscula: The Vampire Strikes Back</a> from the same publisher. If features a lot of adolescent humour in the style of a teenager's 80s film.
The gameplay follows the established adventure standards: you have icons for walking, picking up objects, talking to people and interact.</p>

<p>Eagle Eye Mysteries is an educational game which incorporates some unique gameplay ideas not seen in many other games. A bit like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Law">Law and Order</a> for kids, the game has over 50 different mysteries to solve, ranging from missing items to dug up skeletons to mysterious sea monster sightings to sculpture forgeries.</p>
<p>With the help of Jake and Jennifer Eagle, you must interrogate suspects, gather information, and then decide on the culprit. Though intended to help improve reading comprehension and problem solving skills, Eagle Eye Mysteries can be a challenge for adults as well.</p>

<p><em>Hammer Boy</em> is an arcade game with similar gameplay to the Game &amp; Watch game <a href="/search/?q=game-watch-wide-screen-fire-attack">Fire Attack</a>. It plays like a cross between <a href="/search/?q=Kaboom!">Kaboom!</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Whac-A-Mole">Whac-A-Mole</a>.</p>
<p>Armed with a big hammer, your job is to prevent the American Indians from reaching the tower behind your fort by hitting them on the head and putting out the fires that are thrown from the side. That's really it to the game -- new levels bring different backgrounds (battleship, castle and space base) with corresponding enemies (pirates, knights and aliens), but essentially the same gameplay.</p>

<p>In <em>Highway Patrol II</em>, players assume the role of a police officer trying to capture runaway felons before they reach the county border. Players begin by choosing a target villain, with tougher ones earning a bigger bonus, and making it easier to achieve promotions. Gameplay is from the officer's viewpoint, looking through the windshield of his cruiser.</p>

<p><a href="/search/?q=Math+Blaster">Blasternaut</a>, Galactic Commander, and Spot, are out searching space for The Lost City in their violet magenta cruiser. Galactic Commander feels this mission so important that she has left her normal duties at the base and joined the crew. Blasternaut and spot, however, are less than thrilled with the seemingly fruitless search.</p>
<p>Suddenly, Doctor Minus, a deep voiced robot with an obsession for subtraction, is behind them and shoots their ship down onto a barren planet where to their, if not the player's, surprise they find The Lost City. Despite this happy coincidence Doctor Minus is preparing an bombardment force and sending his "negatron" minions to the planet to make sure the Blaster crew doesn't get away. Galactic Commander knows more than she is letting on and is convinced that if they can restore power to buildings of the city they'll have an edge...</p>
<p>The game includes 4 levels, all involving math or logic problems to solve. Which you have to complete to restore the power within each building (level). </p>
<p>These levels include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Maze Craze</strong>: Here the player will control the Math Blaster crew to collect all the numbers and operations to make a complete equation and clear the area. The player has to switch between the characters to open certain doors, or perform certain actions; for example, only Galactic Commander is tall and strong enough to pull ceiling chains.</li>
<li><strong>Creature Creator</strong>: The player will start with one creature composed of a number of interchangeable parts in a bow arrows will then lead to a contiguous box the number of arrows indicates how many parts need to change. The player will then need to make more changes for the next box until there are no more, this will be the final mutation.</li>
<li><strong>Position Splash</strong>: Negatrons, formless yellow critters, carrying numbers will enter from the top of the screen an equation with a missing number will be at the bottom. However not all the negatrons are carrying the right number. So those without the correct number must be eliminated. The player controls one of the three crew members and can run left and right while throwing some sort of water grenade. Negatrons that have been hit will wander the stage and throw poisoned blobs at the active crew member, should he be hit another will take his place. This area ends when five problems have been completed, or answered incorrectly, or if all three crew members are hit.</li>
<li><strong>Number Hunt</strong>: Here the player needs to find equations that equal a number between a range given at the top of the screen. Naturally these equations are on giant slabs all over the screen. A crew member will have to jump to and select the correct ones. Player beware! Many of the blocks can move back into the wall from which they jut sending the crew member out of commission. This area is over when five correct answers or five incorrect answers are selected, or all the crew members drop.</li>
</ul>
<p>Upon completion players will be treated to a detailed view of the true powers of the city, and as with many edutainment titles, a print out certificate with the players score.</p>

<p>West life is nothing easy. Especially if we consider that in most of the towns exists a series of people who suffer from two defects: avarice and presumption. This is the case of the Zorton Brothers, two gunmen and real bad guys who think that they are the center of the world, and that all the other mortals must obey them. In addition, they enjoy killing the weakest and making them suffer, something that we are sure you, intrepid "justiciero", can't allow anymore.</p>
<p>The Zorton Brothers have arrived at a calm, Pacific town whose sheriff acts as more decorative than practical. He is small, weak, without aim and too talkative. Before this panorama, the Zorton have decided to seize the town with the inestimable aid of their band. It is up to you to save the town from their clutches.</p>

Halls of Montezuma: A Battle History of the United States Marine Corps

<p>The military is often painted in terms of precision.  Orders are expected to be followed exactly.  But what happens when those giving the orders are blind?  Blindness is a fact of life for commanders, who have to wait for their men to call in with information.  This game puts the player in the shoes of a Corps commander—a man responsible for several divisions—for the lives of thousands of men.  The player will command some of the most famous battles in U.S. history, and will have to deal with the same lack of face-to-face contact that plagues every higher-level military leader.</p>
<p>In this game the player replays historical battles in the wars with Mexico, World War I, World War II and the Korean War.</p>
<p>Think for a moment about war from the perspective of the Marine.  Out in the field, their duty is to carry out orders to the best of their ability.  They must try to cope with the unexpected that interferes with their progress—weather, enemies, terrain, fatigue, lack of supplies... Unfortunately, it is a fact that there is a disconnect between soldiers in the field and the commanders in the command centers. Commanders don't have a personal connection to each person under them.  They rely on those underneath them to report in...</p>
<p>This game gives some insight to the problems of command.  There are hundreds of units to keep track of, and the player needs a way to keep them organized.  The units become symbols on a map-board.  Contact with the units is limited to the reports that they send back and the orders that the player sends out.  Once the orders are given, the situation is really out of your control.  Will they be able or willing to follow orders exactly?  What happens if they are interrupted by the enemy, by weather, by terrain.  Is the information on enemy movements accurate, or did the player just send a division (thousands of men) to their deaths?</p>
<p>Most soldiers and Marines have never had the opportunity to see just what goes on inside the command centers, where the orders that they must follow come from.  This game recreates the command center.</p>

<p>The message used our frequency, but it didn't come from any of our commanders. It couldn't be! After verifying its content, there was no room for doubt: a spaceship of our defense forces of the future had problems, but it had problems in our time. How was that possible?</p>
<p>The ship has been infiltrated by foreign forces and was going to crash in the Arctic zone, which was under enemy control. The question arose immediately -- Could they seize our technology of the future...? It can't be allowed!</p>
<p>Our best man must go into the enemy base to reach the rest of the ship and take off. Objective: to obtain our technology of the future. The mission doesn't seem easy. For that reason, it has been entrusted to Derdhal, who had already been victorious in dangerous missions in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9618/army-moves/">Army Moves</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14431/navy-moves/">Navy Moves</a> (with the same gaming style), demonstrating a deep knowledge of all the guerrilla techniques and expertise in handling computer networks.</p>
<p>The U-92 submarine leads you to the enemy base. When you are above the frozen surface of the Arctic, there will be no return. Your first mission will start. Good Luck! You cannot fail.</p>

<p>The famous crazy-scientist Dr. Bacterio was experimenting with hens to let them grow to the size of a horse, thus trying definitively to end the hunger in the world.  But, as was habitual in his experiments, he had failed in his objective and now a gang of uncontrolled hens is circulating around the city putting eggs on the street.  But certain special eggs have the capacity to turn one person into a hen (or at least that's what they believed) if the egg crushes on his head.</p>
<p>Is the sequel of the first game dedicated to the famous Ibañez's comicbook saga, "Mortadelo y Filemón", known as "Clever &amp; Smart" or "Flip &amp; Flop" outside Spain.</p>

<p>While treasure hunting you discover a huge shaft leading deep underground. Bloody marks on the walls warn you of a greedy ghost that haunts the abandoned mine.</p>
<p>You can dig tunnels, but that takes longer than moving through the passageways. You have to collect the key before you can climb down the mine shaft to the next lower level. While collecting points you also must look out for the ghost, because one touch from him kills.</p>

<p>Inside a vast network of caves lies hundreds of valuable gold nuggets waiting to be found. But also awaiting the adventurer is the fearsome Wumpus, a cave creature no one has ever seen and lived to describe it.</p>
<p>Your goal is to locate the Wumpus and shoot him with an arrow from a connecting cave. Do not enter the cave where the Wumpus is as he will kill you. There are also bats in the cave that will pick you up and dump you somewhere else, and bottomless pits that will also kill you. You can collect gold nuggets that will increase your score.</p>

<p><em>Super Huey UH-IX</em> is a helicopter simulation game. You are the pilot of the experimental helicopter UH-1XA and you need to test it out in several game modes. In the flight school mode, you can learn how to fly. The computer will guide you through takeoff, flight, and landing. In reality mode, you will need to fly a mission to locate and bomb an enemy base and return home safely. The last mode is arcade mode where you have an unlimited amount of ammo to try and shoot down as many enemy aircraft as possible. The game is played from a first person view of the cockpit which is complete with radar and various instruments to help you fly.</p>

<p><em>Navy Moves</em> is a side scrolling shooter. Being the sequel of "<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9618/army-moves/">Army Moves</a>" it has a similar gaming style.</p>
<p>The player plays McArra and belongs to the special pacification forces. Its mission: find and destroy a nuclear submarine U-5544 that has unbalanced the forces between the two most powerful armies on Earth. The name of the operation is Cephalopod.</p>
<p>Firstly, the player must cross a dense minefield on board of the Zodiac. The mines themselves are visible enough, but the player must also beware of enemies on jet-skis. After that, in order to reach the submarine the player will cross a series of underwater caves. They haven't been explored thoroughly, but are known to contain extremely dangerous fauna, like sharks and giant squids.</p>
<p>Part two of the game will take part inside the enemy submarine. In order to gain access to every section of the submarine the player needs to eliminate enemy officers and use their ID cards. Once every section is accessible, plant a bomb at the bottom of the nuclear reactor, stop the engines and reach for the surface.</p>

<p>Jeff the Zookeeper isn't too good at his job (but then, when was a person with a backwards baseball cap ever good at anything (Lleyton Hewitt notwithstanding)). Hordes of monkeys have escaped from the zoo, and he must return them, alive. He does this by tempting them with bananas, of which he has a finite supply, before hitting them with a baseball bat to stun them (logically, tranquillizer darts would make more sense, but this way the game involves getting close to the monkeys, making things tougher), before boxing them up (again, the number of boxes is limited) to return safely to the zoo.</p>
<p>The levels on which this must be done consist of a number of platforms, ladders, ledges and the like, and are played against a time limit. Falls stun Jeff, potentially allowing the monkeys time to escape, or drop banana skins to disrupt him.</p>

<p><em>Tetris Gold</em> is a compilation released by Spectrum HoloByte in 1993 containing all of the Tetris games and spinoffs they ever made:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/search/?q=Tetris:+The+Soviet+Challenge">Tetris</a></li>

<li><a href="/search/?q=Faces...Tris+III">Faces...Tris III</a></li>
<li>prototype version of Tetris</li>
</ul>
<p>It includes versions for DOS (all 7), Windows (Tetris Classic and Super Tetris only) and Macintosh (all but Tetris Classic and the prototype version, color and B&amp;W versions included). The CD also includes a 10-minute video interview with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/533681/alexey-l-pajitnov/">Alexey Pajitnov</a>, the creator of Tetris.</p>

<p>Viewed isometrically, this role-playing game saw you leading a party of four intrepid souls on a mission to restore peace to the land. Sixteen levels awaited them, all filled with traps and monsters. Spells could be collected as the game went on, and multiple ones cast in quick succession. The characters could be split, and sent off on different routes and tasks to save time.</p>
<p>The game’s title was inspired by its innovative use of light, or rather of darkness. Nothing could be seen without the torches your characters had; these meant that vision faded outside their circular arc. You had to manoeuvre the torch around to reveal secret areas, and it could be used to ward off some monsters, although it alerted others to your presence.</p>

<p>Final Soul is a text adventure game, where you are stuck in the house, and through puzzles and riddles, must find your way out. Through the use of fun, and sometimes, complex puzzles, you have to piece things together to get out of what appears to be a haunted house! You will run into others in the house, all friends of the people who invited everyone! Keep an eye on what you see and what you hear - there's clues to be found everywhere!</p>
<p>The only "graphics" is the map of the house which is composed of ASCII graphics.</p>

<p>The Fire Brigade was the 48th Panzer Korps, which was heavily involved in the battle this wargame recreates - Operation Barbarossa, Germany's attempted offensive in Russia during World War 2. The game recreates the situations at 3 dates in the attack, and you can play any of those from either side.</p>
<p>You have a range of units under your command, as although the battle was largely tank-based there were also infantry and air units involved. Units can be told which positions to take up, and whether to defend a spot or consciously aim to attack it. The game's AI incorporates the significance of bridges, rivers and forests as strategic points, and your units can be subject to fatigue.</p>

<p>As a highly respected warrior, you are attempting to conquer as many regions as possible. This is a three-stage task, as first you must fight through hordes of fighters simply to reach the castle, and then you have to climb the various sections of the castle, before battling with its existing inhabitant.</p>
<p>The bulk of the game is side-scrolling platform hack 'n' slash action, with mines to avoid on the route. You can collect a number of spells, and select them using the function keys. Your physical and mental energy are measured separately throughout the game, and must both be kept high.</p>

<p>You are Onesimus, a slave of Philemon. You want to escape from slavery and be free. For freedom you must go to Rome. There you must find the apostle Paul. He will teach you how to become a Christian. Only then will you discover true freedom.</p>
<p>This game uses the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Jill+of+the+Jungle">Jill of the Jungle</a> engine. Just like in that game you must find keys to open doors, apples to maintain your health and knifes to ward off dangerous animals.</p>

<p>Arc Developments created a 3D game world called Reality3 for this simulation, licensed around one of Britain's top players. There are two courses, plus a hidden 9-hole course on Mars with reduced gravity, with match play and stroke play options against one of 8 varied-difficulty computer players.</p>
<p>The control system is quite unusual, as the strength of the shot is chosen before you start the swing, but you have to click within a range to activate the shot, and this range is narrower if your shot is intended to be more powerful. An extra click can be made to add wrist snap, which increases the shot's power. The wind calculation is more complicated than most games of the era, and the rough is harder to play out of than usual, as you can't make slight stance adjustments easily.</p>

<p>You have landed your crippled ship at the Atargis mining station. The platform was deserted and no one answered your radio calls. Now you are forced to enter the station and find a way to get off the asteroid. Hopefully whatever happened to the 200 personnel in the labyrinth of mines under the station won't happen to you too.</p>
<p><em>Xenomorph</em> is a first person RPG. Like in the <a href="/search/?q=dungeon+master">Dungeon Master series</a>, everything happens in real time. You move around in 10 foot steps and can turn 90 degrees. You have two hands to fight and use items with, a belt and holster for quick access to weapons as well as an inventory for carrying things.</p>
<p>The objective of the game is to find parts to repair your ship. You must also find food and water for sustenance and guns, grenades and mines for self defense. Other items can help you during your mission such as environmental suits, security passes and a motion detector. Data disks found throughout the station will fill in the story.</p>

<p>Sherman M4 is a 3D tank simulator. It is set in World War II and includes 3 campaigns; Normandy, Ardennes and Desert. You have up to four M4s, two jeeps and artillery support to complete each mission. The Germans have four different kinds of tanks, bunkers etc. Objectives include destroying bridges, capturing towns, rescuing jeeps and destroying convoys. You can drive one tank at a time and give the others movement orders on a map. They will automatically attack enemies they encounter. The map is also used for moving jeeps and calling artillery strikes. Your tanks can be repaired, refueled and rearmed if you capture hangers in some missions. Before each mission you can alter several realism options as well as the enemy moral, experience and commander.</p>

<p>How do you make an interesting computer game out of the venerable Rubik's Cube concept? According to cult programmer Tobias Richter, you view it from the top with all sides displayed, and allow the player to choose the number of sides, from 4 to 25.</p>
<p>A large number of different starting arrangements are offered, grouped by difficulty. Rather than having a level-based progression, you can choose any of these from the start. A number of different tunes are provided, written by Team 17 cohort Bjørn Lynne.</p>

<p>Dreams are made by The Dreamtrack Corporation, a group of evil subliminal-messengers whose intention is to destroy the minds of the minority of people capable of interpreting other people's dreams and live them out through entertainment. That's the story in this distinctly Cyberpunk-inspired title, and you play Chad, the man who discovers this secret, and aims to put an end to it.</p>
<p>Your task on each level is to clear a path for Kaf-E, your girlfriend, to be able to progress to the heart of the Dreamtrack HQ, getting past each of the myriad of security systems they have built up. A map must be used to navigate the route through the systems, with lots of information readily available.</p>
<p>The basic gameplay sees you darting through 3D tunnels using the mouse, and is like a prototype <a href="/search/?q=Descent">Descent</a>, with your ship kitted out with cannons and missiles, with each enemy better dealt with by one or the other.</p>
<p>As well as ensuring your own survival, you must guide Kaf-E through the levels by blasting out the correct sections to clear a path for her. As she has no intelligence, and simply walks into walls, this element can be compared to <a href="/search/?q=Lemmings">Lemmings</a>.</p>

<p>A DEA team raids an apartment in the City of Angels.  Among the requisite drugs and crazed loonies, the team discovers something far more chilling:  "The place was used to build a nuclear bomb," to quote your FBI sidekick, Sawyer.  As if that isn't bad enough, the bomb is gone and in the hands of a crazy German terrorist who is planning to set it off somewhere in the city.  And considering your first lead is the terrorist's ex-girlfriend, stopping him isn't going to be easy.</p>
<p>And so you're off, watching FMV sequences and occasionally deciding between three dialogue choices in situations ranging from orders to SWAT teams to interrogating some of the terrorists' bomb-making cronies.</p>

<p>In this game you play the role of a man who has been stranded on an alien planet after his space ship
explodes and you must find pieces of it to rebuild it. The gameplay involves you jumping across platforms and shooting at droids and aliens but also ducking to avoid high flying robots. The game is played from a side scrolling perspective. The baddies come thick and fast and the only way to cope is to keep moving.</p>

<p>Timing smiled on Gremlin with this licensed Formula 1 simulation, as Nigel's long quest for a championship had finally come good. The game was pitched somewhere in between a full-blown simulation like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2071/world-circuit/">F1 GP</a> and action games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/17741/continental-circus/">Continental Circus</a>. Only 12 cars were in each race, which could last from between 3 and 20 laps.</p>
<p>Before each race you can customize wing downforce, gear ratio, tyre selection and fuel load choices – pitstops are a standard feature of the longer races. The 16-bit versions include a unique 'Improve With Mansell' mode, in which a digitized version of Nigel's head appears in the top corner of the screen, offering instructions and praise.</p>

<p>The time of Ragnarok draws near. In the final battle between Gods and Giants, the dead will rise from Hela's realm of torture and rally under the banner of Loke, the God of Mischief, who shall turn all of Midgard into a battlefield against his brother Odin, the one-eyed, father of the Gods of Asgard. As Thor drops Mjollnir, his hammer of lightning, as Freya falls from her Golden Cart and Heimdal is pierced by the horns of Loke, the fire giant Surt shall wield his ensorcelled sword and purge the land in flames, so that eons later, a new dynasty of man can arise. Thus the sage Mimer has seen it in the Well of Wisdom. It is the dusk of the gods.</p>
<p>Can fate be turned? Odin summons a champion, who has died on the fields of battle and is guided to Asgard by the Valkyries. This champion must find the six elements needed to forge a chain that can bind the hell hound Fenris, the Giant's best ally in the upcoming pandemonium. In addition, the champion must stop the quarrels of the Gods. Thor has lost the head of his hammer. Vidar, a son of Odin, strives to slay Hodur, who is said to have killed Baldur. Freya, the goddess of love and beauty, desires a necklace held by four dwarves. Frey is madly in love with the giantess Gerd, daughter of Surt, who demands the all-powerful Sword of Victory in exchange for the hand of Gerd. As you plunge into the whirl of intrigue, deceit and greed in the realm of the Viking gods, you travel the lands of the living and the dead, visit Aesir's underwater realm and cross the oceans in a magical pocket ship, and have a hand in all the legends from King Beowulf's fight with the dragon to the slaying of the Lady of the Hill.</p>
<p><em>Dusk of the Gods</em> is a role-playing game that focuses on exploration of the Viking legends and conversations with various characters in a large, seamless game world featuring a day and night cycle. The role-playing system in the game is rather simple: the main character has only two basic statistics (Warrior and Sage abilities), and the action-oriented battles are based on an uncomplicated point-and-click interaction. Magic system relies on usage of runes to cast spells.</p>

<p><em>Zyconix</em> is an arcade puzzle game.</p>
<p>Colored blocks raining down on a playfield, we’ve seen that before. <em>Zyconix</em> takes the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Columns">Columns</a> principle (align three or more bricks of the same color to make them disappear) and adds a few twists of its own:</p>
<ul>
<li>First, there are no groups or columns of stones, only single blocks.</li>
<li>Second, several of them slide down at once, and you select and move them with a cursor.</li>
<li>Third, only horizontal and diagonal lines disappear, but not stacks of the same color.</li>
</ul>
<p>Add a few special objects from bombs to drills to a breakout ball that you can actually deflect grabbing a brick as a paddle, mix with four play modes (normal, pre-filled playfield and two time trial variants), and the result is a fast-pasted, tricky test of agility. </p>
<p>Two players can compete in split-screen mode, where each removed line turns the corresponding number of bricks on the opponent’s field into indestructible obstacle blocks. Soloists adjust the difficulty level by tweaking the number of blocks in a line (from three to six), number of colors and frequency of new stones appearing.</p>

<p>One of the few Turkish games ever produced, Detective Storm is a comedy adventure with static backgrounds and cartoon animations.</p>
<p>As a detective you are trying to solve a mysterious murder case. During your search you visit many places around the world of Detective Storm, find and collect items and solve puzzles.</p>

<p><em>İstanbul Efsaneleri: Lale Savaşçıları</em> is one of the first Turkish games (first CRPG) ever developed for PCs. The game consists of a lot of different different spells (actually swear words from turkish) and a very different character system.</p>
<p>The story takes place in an alternative Istanbul. You start with a group of four Turkish youngsters who were playing football near an abandoned auto-park. When the ball accidentally went inside the building and of course the youngsters after the ball, they all find themselves in a medieval looking Istanbul. They use all of their training (swearing as spells, waste baskets as shields, and turnips as weapons) to overcome the dangers of this mysterious and evil-infested medieval looking Istanbul, and return to their homes.</p>
<p>The gameplay is from the first-person perspective. You control your party with the keyboard and find your way in the 2D environment. The combats are from an isometric point of view and turn-based.</p>

<p>You are on safari to make a photo report to save the local animal world from extinction.</p>
<p>How the game works is simple. Animals will move into the screen and, after some time, leave the screen. Meanwhile you must photograph them.</p>
<p>Besides the animals, there also poachers, which have to be shot with your real weapon. Kill them fast, or they will kill you.</p>
<p>If you kill an animal, then you get some penalty points.</p>
<p>The game itself offers different locations, from the desert to the jungle and a variety of different animals, like zebras, elephants, and others.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/22600/pete-cooke/">Pete Cooke</a>'s follow-up to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/128956/tau-ceti/">previous</a> space shooter-explorer takes things away from the Tau Ceti setting. Players take the role of a student at an academy for advanced piloting. There they need to solve 20 simulated missions on a wide range of planets.</p>
<p>The self-contained missions mean that the game uses the Tau Ceti structure and theme, without the causality of previous decisions having an effect on later choices. This reduces the complexity of management. Although players can customize the ships, including giving them names of your choice, the game comes with supplied ones include a variety that should suit many different circumstances.</p>
<p>Whichever vehicle is chosen, players will control it from a 1st person perspective and a series of controls. All ships skim over the surface of the planet and feature weapons. Most missions will involve destroying rogue robots enemies. Players will have to dock with buildings to refuel or move on to a different planet.</p>

<p>This typically zany <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/12816/jeff-minter/">Jeff Minter</a> title sets you as a mutated camel, with an optional support one mimicking your moves elsewhere. The hordes of enemies to be taken on include falling umbrellas and drinks machines. Shot enemies release tokens ranging from points bonuses and energy recharges to control-reversers and poison.</p>
<p>Speaking of controls, the game uses the same system as <a href="/search/?q=Llamatron">Llamatron</a>, which means that you fire automatically in the direction you're moving, but pressing the fire button allows you to rotate the direction of fire while immobile. This allows enemies in different parts of the screen to be attacked from less precarious positions.</p>

<p>CJ the baby elephant has fled captivity, and is desperate to reach his home in Africa. That means trekking halfway around the world, armed only with an infinite supply of peanuts and a handful of bombs (fortunately more can be collected as you go along).</p>
<p>You start with nine lives, but the game's design is such that a lot of deaths will be unexpected, so prior knowledge of the layouts is essential to get through most sections of the five levels without losing lives. The two-player mode involves the screen following the lead player, so the latter can lose lives by getting too far behind. With lots of precise jumps across vertically-progressing ledges involved, a lot of skill and timing is required.</p>

<p>Based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/445455/francois-bourgeon/">François Bourgeon</a>'s French comic book series from the '80s, the game follows the series' plot very closely.</p>
<p>As the French Revolution is about to begin, Hoel and Isa find themselves in Brittany after a series of unfortunate events. They will face a thousand dangers, travel from the European to the African shores, in a quest to discover truth about Isa's real identity.</p>
<p>The player controls, in turn, the actions of the daring heroine, the courageous and loving sailor, and more than fifteen other characters living towards the end of the eighteenth century.</p>

<p>As Fleet Admiral of a newly commissioned starship armada you send your ships from the home planet to explore the unknown resources of the stars. The planets circling those stars may be barren or they may have industrial capacity and will resist your colonization attempts. It is up to you whether to conquer and colonize those worlds, and convert them to producing new ships for continued expansion, and to bring the entire galaxy under your control. <em>Galaxy</em> can be played by as many as 20 players who compete against each other for control of up to 40 star systems. If you are playing multiplayer, the person controlling the most planets at game end is the winner. The computer produces a different galaxy every game.</p>

<p><em>Voyager</em> is a first-person action game that challenges the player to explore the levels of an alien spacecraft's maze. The environments consist of corridors and rooms done with 3D vector graphics. The protagonist has to evade robots programmed to blast any intruders. To win, the player must destroy all power generators and escape (or hunt down and annihilate) the killer robots.</p>

<p>The Dnieper River Line is a fictionalized engagement between German and Russian forces in the Southern Ukraine in late 1943. As the Germans you are challenged to repel Russian efforts to breach your critical defensive position. The Soviet units controlled by the computer seek to over run your thin German defensive line and capture sufficient objectives to assure victory. <em>Dnieper River Line</em> is a computer game which is played out board game style with a 8" x 11" mapboard and 240 5/8" illustrated counters.</p>

<p>June 6, 1944. The start of D-Day. Depending on your choice you will either lead or face the largest amphibious force ever assembled. As the Supreme Allied Commander your job is to establish beachheads on Utah, Omaha, Juno, Gold and Sword, consolidate them, then move out to capture the strategic towns of Cherbourg and Caen, the roadnet at St. Lo, penetrate as deeply as possible into the continent and destroy and disrupt enemy formations. As the German Commander your hope for victory is to deploy your land forces and powerful panzers and contain the enemy and drive him back to the beaches. Either way you have until noon on June 30th (25 days) to accomplish your mission at which time your position will be evaluated. This game provides for solitaire play as the Americans and provides the player with several levels of difficulty.</p>

<p>Based upon the popular boardgame, <em>Gulf Strike</em> allows you to examine every aspect of the complex Persian Gulf region. Complete air, land and sea orders of battle for more than a dozen nations allows you to fight each conflict to its unpredictable conclusion. The game will end when one of the following occurs: After 25 turns have been completed, the Soviet/Iraqi side gains 9 victory points, or the players choose to end the game.The game is for 1 or 2 players and usually takes 1-5 hours to complete. Avalon Hill rated this game a 7 on their 1(easy) -10(hard) complexity scale.</p>

<p><em>Mech Brigade</em> is a platoon level tactical simulation of armored warfare, depicting a hypothetical battle between the forces of NATO and the Soviet Union. The game may be played by up to 2 players (both of which may be human or AI), who can either choose to play one of the 4 historical scenarios or may elect to build their own scenario. NATO players may choose a nationality from France, Great Britain, the United States, or West Germany. The game also has 5 handicap (difficulty) levels.</p>
<p>Gameplay consists of two phases, the orders phase, where player(s) give orders to each individual unit under their control and the combat phase, where all units carry out their orders one unit at a time. Units, although in majority are armored vehicles, may also consist of attack helicopters, artillery, and infantry. The game will automatically end after 15 turns (20 if there is an assault battle being played). However a game may be ended earlier or continue after it has ended if all sides agree. At the end of the game victory points will be awarded which will determine whether the battle was a draw, marginal, substantive, or decisive victory.</p>

<p><em>Knights of the Desert</em> is the operational level simulation of Rommel's famous North African Campaign of WWII. The game begins in March 1941 and ends in February 1943 in 12 turns each representing 2 months. Both players goals are the same. That is to sweep across the northern coast of Africa pushing the enemy as far back as possible capturing key towns such as Benghazi and Tobruk along the way. The only difference is the direction you are heading. As the German Commander your main goal is east to Alexandria. As the British Commander your main goal is to sweep Rommel all the way back to El Agheila and win the game. Knights of the Desert provides for solitaire play where the computer directs the British.</p>

<p><em>Rebel Charge at Chickamauga</em> is a tactical simulation of the South's last major offensive thrust during the American Civil War. </p>
<p>The game uses a refined version of SSI's Gettysburg game system and is played in 13 turns each representing two hours of real time over a two day period. Players are awarded points based on casualties and territorial objectives. At the end of each turn and the end of the game points are calculated and compared to a chart which determines your level of victory. The game can be played under 3 different sets of rules (Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced) and can be played against another person or the computer can play either side.</p>

<p><em>50 Mission Crush</em> is a simulation game that puts you into the cockpit of a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber during WWII. </p>
<p>You are part of the 8th Air Force 306th Bomber Group and you must try to survive 50 missions (in real life the average lifespan of a crew member was 18.33 missions) in your B-17 (named the Impatient Virgin) over France and Germany. As pilot you will have full control of your bomber and 10 crew members, each of which plays a different role in your mission. </p>
<p>After each mission providing you have survived you will be evaluated and awarded points based on mission difficulty, bombing accuracy and aircraft destroyed. The more points you receive the closer you get to being promoted. You start off as a Lieutenant and can make it all the way to Brigadier general. Also depending on how many points you earn in a mission you can receive a medal or if you are wounded a Purple Heart. Each mission lasts approximately 10 minutes.</p>
<p>The '50 Mission Crush' was the name given to the crushed service cap of the battle hardened veterans who flew the B-17 during WWII. It was a mark of distinction and honor.</p>

<p><em>Typhoon of Steel</em> is a tactical level simulation of small unit actions during WWII. It is a sequel to the best selling <a href="/search/?q=Panzer+Strike">Panzer Strike</a> and the rules are very similar. Three theaters are covered: the Pacific Theater (Americans vs Japanese), the Asian Theater (British vs Japanese) and European Theater action involving American vs German troops. </p>
<p><em>Typhoon of Steel</em> includes practically every ground weapon used by the combatants in this theater (over 220 weapon types). Units consist of infantry squads or single guns and tanks. You can choose to simulate either single battles or entire campaigns spanning several years. In the single battles you can play against another person but in campaigns you play against the computer. </p>
<p>The ultimate objective of the campaign games is to fight and win as many battles as possible before the war ends. If you suffer heavy losses during one battle it will take a long time to replace and upgrade your forces before you can fight the next battle. Single scenarios can last from 30 minutes to 2 hours with campaigns lasting up to 30 hours. Like <em>Panzer Strike</em>, the gameplay is considered to be advanced level.</p>

<p>A collection of games designed for Dos and Windows 3.1  The games are as listed:
Crete, Fastring, Flying Pictures, Lineman, Master of Bombs, Shadows and Solitaire for Windows.</p>
<p>Crete is a sliding puzzle game.  Fastring requires capturing pieces by building a series of completed rectanges.  Master of bombs is a tricky variation of Tetris.  Flying Pictures is similar to concentration.  Shadows plays like Breakout except the targets move as well.  And of course there's Klondike Solitaire. </p>
<p>The games were developed by Russian programers and published by Interplay</p>

<p><em>Power F1</em> is an F1 racing game that is based on actual F1 race data from 1996 and features the official cars, drivers, and courses. The game includes two player split screen and multiplayer over LAN. Steering wheels and joysticks that were available at the time of release are supported.</p>

<p>President Elect: 1988 Edition is an updated version of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/25137/president-elect/">President Elect</a> adding the campaign data for the upcoming (at the time) 1988 election. The game is a comprehensive computer simulation of a presidential campaign from Labor Day to election night. The game can be played by 3 players each assuming the role of campaign manager/candidate. The game proceeds through 9 weekly turns where the player decides how and where to concentrate their campaign efforts. Weekly polls are provided to give the players an idea on how they are doing. On election night the returns come in on a minute to minute basis until a winner is determined. The election night may be simulated in real time (2-6 hours) or the votes may be counted in 15 seconds. President Elect has seven historical scenarios (from 1960 to 1988) or a virtually unlimited number of hypothetical or ahistorical scenarios.</p>

<p><em>Midway Campaign</em> is a computer simulation of the Battle of Midway Island in June 1942, arguably one of the most decisive battles in the history of warfare. The computer controls a huge force of Japanese ships whose objective is to invade and capture Midway Island. You command the badly outnumbered and outranged American forces with your only advantage being the element of surprise. The game ends if either all of one side's Aircraft Carriers are sunk, or any part of Japanese TF exits map to west or US TF exits map to east with no airstrikes in the air. At the end of the game a summary of all carrier damage, aircraft losses, and victory points from other targets and the Midway invasion are output followed by an evaluation of results.</p>

<p>Remaking the classic Spectrum game '<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Jetpac">Jetpac</a>' from Ultimate Play the Game, the titular hero must fly around shooting aliens, initially to rebuild his craft, and then to collect enough fuel to fly off a succession of levels, picking up gold as he goes.</p>
<p>The remake was designed to run super-fast on 286s, but appears to have been speed-locked successfully, so you won't need MoSlo for a change. The scoring is much lower in this version, with aliens worth a single point. The game keeps track of your high score, but this information is not saved. The 256-colour graphics and speaker sound both represent automatic advances over anything the Spectrum can do.</p>

<p><em>Perdition's Gate</em> is an unofficial commercial add-on for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=DOOM+II:+Hell+on+Earth">DOOM II</a>. It replaces all 32 original levels and features some new music and textures.</p>
<p>There are no gameplay changes, new monsters or weapons, it is just a level set. It contains a new plot, changing the demons into an alien race from the planet Hell. The new plot is told through a readme file included with the game and short pieces of text on every map's intermission screen, which replace the level name graphics. However, because <em>Perdition's Gate</em> is simply a level set, the original <em>DOOM II</em> plot screens still appear after some maps.</p>

<p><em>Operation Market Garden</em> is a recreation of the largest daylight airborne operation in history on September 17, 1944. As commander of the Allied forces you will direct the American 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, the British 1st Airborne Division and the 30th Corps to their historical objectives. The Allied player earns points for controlling and keeping supply objective hexes. They lose points for overrun airborne supply hexes and German controlled town/city hexes. The level of victory (5 levels) is determined by Allied points at the end of the game. The game can be played by 2 people or solitaire (computer as German), has four levels of difficulty and can be played as either intermediate level or advanced. Playing time is 10 hours.</p>

<p>Under Fire is a tactical simulation of WW II land combat. Men and weapons from the United States, Germany and Russia are represented. There are nine scenarios in the game which range from open field firefights to house to house conflict. Victory is a subjective affair in Under Fire as there is no declaration of victory. The victory screen basically tallies up losses and objectives gained the rest is left to argument. Under Fire can be played by one or two players. Playing time can range from 10 minutes for a two squad battle to five hours  for a 32 squad firefight.</p>

<p>Waterloo, arguably the most famous battle in history, was fought on June 18, 1815, between the French Forces of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and the English and combined Allied forces under the Duke of Wellington and Prussian forces under Field Marshall Blucher.</p>
<p><em>Waterloo</em> the game dispenses with the normal overview given to wargame commanders and instead gives the player the same point of view as real commanders on the field of battle.</p>
<p>The player's orders in an age of pre-radio communication must pass through an elaborate chain of command with varying levels of success in the execution of those orders. These orders may even be ignored if there is better local intelligence or the officers lack the skill or courage to perform them. As the commander (Napoleon or Wellington), the player must even deal with a time delay in the occurrence of events, the time it takes for those events to be relayed back to HQ, and the time it takes to issue orders and see those orders carried out. A text parser is used to issue orders during the game. The battle ends at 9:30 pm at which time full battle reports will become available and the results assessed. The player is also given the option to review the battlefield. The game features a single-player campaign only.</p>

<p>A good alternate title for this one would be Rows - not the kind you have when your wife finds lipstick on your shirt collar, but as an equivalent of <a href="/search/?q=Columns">Columns</a>. The gameplay is essentially the same - groups of 3 variably-colored blocks fall towards the bottom of a 6x18 grid, and you must arrange them into groups of 3 of the same colour - except that the blocks are grouped horizontally rather than vertically.</p>
<p>Each individual brick falls as far as it can when you place the trio, so they won't necessarily all end up on the same line. Blocks fall as far as possible to fill gaps when lines are completed, so there are never gaps in the arrangement the way you get in <a href="/search/?q=Tetris:+The+Soviet+Challenge">Tetris</a>. Each level sets you a target number of lines to form - 4 or 5 in a row count as 2 and 3 lines respectively for this calculation, a lá <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4642/klax/">Klax</a>. Horizontal lines score the least, with diagonals the most lucrative and vertical in between (this change from Columns makes sense considering the different building method).</p>

<p><em>Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes</em> tells the story of a young prince named Selios. One day his old teacher Raiyas sends him to a nearby cave to retrieve a magic weapon. When the prince returns, he finds the house attacked by monsters. Raiyas tells him to seek help in the castle of a baron, whose country has always been allies with theirs for a long time. However, the baron betrays Selios' trust and imprisons him. The young prince manages to escape, but without the possibility to return he has no choice but to wander through the land, trying to find trustworthy companions who would help him to save his country.</p>
<p>This is a traditional medieval-themed Japanese RPG with turn-based combat viewed from first-person perspective (like in <a href="/search/?q=Dragon+Warrior"> Dragon Warrior</a> games). The enemies are semi-random: they do appear out of nowhere and attack suddenly, but they are visible on the screen, and if you flee from a battle they will still be there to pursue you.</p>

<p>Years have passed since prince Selios, the hero of the first game, defeated the demon god Agunija in the ultimate battle. Peace returned to the land of Iseruhasa. Selios married his sweetheart Dina, and they had a child, whom they gave the name Atlas. At the age of fifteen, Atlas was already a strong warrior, thanks to the lessons of his teacher Lowel. Everything seemed peaceful in the country, until two warriors spotted strange creatures near the capital city. Those were... men in space suits! Of course, the warriors could not have known this and believed them to be monsters. Do the mysterious strangers have peaceful intentions, or are they a new threat to the kingdom?</p>
<p>The second <em>Dragon Slayer</em> is very similar to the first game, graphically and gameplay-wise. The only major difference is the fact that the enemies are now completely visible on screen before battles, so that the player can avoid fighting them if he wants to. Otherwise, it is a traditional Japanese RPG with turn-based combat viewed from first-person perspective. The Genesis version has once again updated graphics.</p>

<p>While flying three members of the same family, your plane crash-lands in an area where it soon becomes clear that time has stood still - dinosaurs still roam the area, and the humans are primitive and carnivorous. Your task is to guide them to safety through the complex isometrically viewed world (using the same basic game engine as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1343/dentons/">Denton Designs</a>' <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=the+Great+Escape">Great Escape</a> license).</p>
<p>Hazards to be faced include the aforementioned dinosaurs and cavemen, as well as sea monsters, precarious mountainous ledges and dilapidated bridges. Objects including weapons and first aid kits can be collected. Each character has his own distinct behaviors - one becomes hungry easily, while another is only really competent while his fiancé survives. Although the ultimate aim is to save all four characters, you can continue while at least one is alive.</p>

<p><em>Donald's Alphabet Chase</em> is an educational game for children ages 2-5 featuring Donald Duck. Donald's alphabet letters have escaped and are now hiding throughout the house! You need to help Donald locate all 26 of the letters and put them back in place. By pressing a letter on the keyboard, an animation is displayed where Donald finds and catches that letter. There are six different screens a letter may be hiding on, and each letter features a different animation. When all of the letters have been collected, the game is over and a bonus screen is displayed.</p>

<p>In this game, you control Hiroaki Hanya, a college student. Some time ago, your mother committed suicide, and you continued living with your father, the head of a large corporation that publishes video games. You are unsure about your future, but you still consider yourself a lucky person. In fact, luck seems to pursue you, like magic, especially during your encounters with women. Women just fall all over you, and all your dreams and fantasies get fulfilled. You have to find out what is the source of this strange power!</p>
<p>This is a Japanese hentai adventure, in which you interact with the game world through menu commands (such as "Look", "Talk", "Think", "Go", etc.). There are plenty of explicit sexual scenes, during which you have many detailed options to choose from. </p>

<p>Tough guy Joe Blade must rescue six respected leaders from the madcap Crax Bloodfinger, who has kidnapped them in different areas of his base. Along the way he will find six bombs which must be activated, leaving him with only 20 minutes to rescue everyone.</p>
<p>Joe Blade is viewed side-on and uses flick-screen progression. The bombs are deactivated by arranging letters into alphabetical order, but the bulk of the gameplay involves shooting and maze navigation. The screens are linked in various ways, and contain a number of keys which must be used correctly.</p>

<p>Subbuteo recreates the famous table football game, which makes for something very different from Sensible/Kick Off/FIFA style games. It's effectively a turn-based strategy game of sorts, as each player has 30 seconds to make their move (within a 30 minute match length), which involves first selecting a player, then aiming the direction in which he will be flicked, then the power and swerve of the flick are determined by the length of time the button is held down for. </p>
<p>With any luck, your player will hit the ball, and hit it such that it doesn't leave the playing area, and doesn't hit an opponent. If any of those rules are violated, possession passes to the opposition. Before each flick, the team not in possession can make a 'defensive flick' involving moving one of their players into a potential blocking position (without hitting the ball or an opponent, as this is a foul).</p>

<p><em>Bumble Games</em> is an educational game designed to teach graphing skills to children age 4-10. The creature Bumble will guide you through six different games that are available:
* <strong>Find Your Number</strong>: Bumble will think of a secret number between 1 and 5. You need to guess it! After each incorrect guess, a clue will appear on the screen indicating whether your guess was too high or too low.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Find the Bumble</strong>: Bumble is hiding somewhere in a 4x4 grid, and you need to find him! By entering in coordinates, you can guess a grid location to see if he's there. If not, a clue will be displayed indicating in what direction he is hiding.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Butterfly Hunt</strong>: Bumble's butterfly is lost, and you need to help find it! To search, you once again need to enter in grid coordinates, this time in a 5x5 grid. If your guess is unsuccessful, a clue will be displayed indicating in what direction the butterfly is hiding.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Visit From Space</strong>: Bumble's cousin is visiting from space! You need to find out where he is by searching a 5x5 grid. You can examine a part of the grid by entering in its coordinates; if your guess is incorrect, a clue will be displayed in what direction Bumble's cousin is hiding.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Tic Tac Toc</strong>: This is a variation of tic tac toe and is for two players only. Given a 5x5 grid, each player takes turns placing X's and O's on the grid. Four X's or four O's in a row (in any direction) will win the game.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Bumble Dots</strong>: This is a drawing game. Given an 11x11 grid, you can select different coordinates on the grid and draw lines between them. Several pictures are included with the game which provide clues as to where you should draw lines, or you can create your own pictures from scratch. You can optionally have the game color in your picture when its done.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p><a href="/search/?q=Leader+Board">Leader Board</a> authors <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/1084/bruce-carver/">Bruce</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/1083/roger-carver/">Roger Carver</a> tried their hand at tenpin bowling, in one of the game's earliest recreations. The process of bowling the ball involves timing a succession of clicks to set the right angle, speed and curve, similarly to Leaderboard's system. Three skill levels are provided - Kids level sets the speed and hook automatically, while Amateur has more margin for error with hook/slice than professional. The game is played from a plan view, with four other (empty) lanes visible. Single matches or a league structure can be played.</p>

<p><em>Learn to Add</em> is an educational game designed for children ages 3-7. The object of the game is to complete a rainbow by solving number problems. On each turn, you first select a number from 1 to 9. The computer will then present a problem involving that number along with several groups of balloons of varying quantities. You then need to guide an animal over to the group of balloons which has the same number of balloons as the number that would solve the problem. On easier skill levels, you just need to select the group of balloons that matches the number selected. Tougher skill levels present addition problems where you need to fill in the blank. Each time you answer correctly, part of a rainbow appears on the screen. Complete the rainbow, and you win!</p>

<p>In 1992, <a href="/search/?q=Maxis">Maxis</a> published <a href="/search/?q=A-Train">A-Train</a>, a railroad management simulation by <a href="/search/?q=Artdink">Artdink</a>, a developer of some renown in Japan but virtually unknown anywhere else. <em>A-Train</em> was the third episode in Artdink’s <em>Take the A-Train</em> series, which dates back to 1986. An earlier installment of the series had been internationally published three years prior to Maxis’ <em>A-Train</em> by Seika Corp., under the name of <em>Railroad Empire</em>, with little to no public recognition.</p>
<p>In a goal-oriented approach, your task as a railroad tycoon is to build a trans-continental track that connects New York with California in the US scenario, England with Turkey on the (considerably more challenging) Europe map. With transportation service limited to passengers only and scheduling options minimized, creating smoothly running train lines is comparatively easy – just make sure that trains don’t collide on the single-track lines. The main focus is on efficient track building using the A-Train, which you control directly. A limited supply of rails and geographical barriers such as rivers with few pre-constructed bridges make careful planning essential. Optional cargo trains help distributing building materials to the station closest to your A-Train. In a unique feature, days pass in an accelerated real-time day/night cycle, with track-building only possible during daylight and changes to train schedules and switches only allowed at night.</p>

<p>The <em>A-Train Construction Set</em> add-on for Maxis’ railroad management simulation <a href="/search/?q=A-Train">A-Train</a> is a map editor that allows modification of existing savegames and creation of new landscapes from scratch. The editor comes with six sample scenarios. Apart from that, it adds no new content to the game.</p>

<p>Aboard the lethal Gunship Gladiator helicopter, it is your job to ensure that a coup fails to install a dictator as leader. </p>
<p>The game features 12 levels split into three distinct styles. First of all you'll be flying over a city in your helicopter, shooting out tanks by ducking low enough to target them, but also climbing to avoid the skyscrapers in the area. The third section is viewed similarly, but sees you attempting to wipe out the planes mounted on an aircraft carrier.</p>
<p>The second section is viewed behind your helicopter in full 3D, and adds helicopters and planes to be shot, with dodging their bullets as you duck down to shoot the tanks being the main challenge.</p>

<p>You're Dirty Harry and you need to find and beat up dealers to get drugs and burn them outside the town, which will regain your energy. This is the Silmarils' first game. In 9 screens, you can fight with ninjas, amazons, punks and other thugs and low-lives, and you've only your hands and feets for that !</p>
<p>You start in a street, a punk in front of you, beat him him up and he'll drop his drugs, continue to the stairs to find a guy with a chainsaw, beat him and keep his drugs. Go outside town to burn the drugs in a barrel to regain life and return to the dark side to make the streets safer.</p>

<p>Dizzy, the egg protagonist, is back in his fourth installment: Magicland Dizzy. The land has been corrupted by an evil wizard, and it's Dizzy's job to set everything right. To do this, he must walk, jump and flip through a large number of screens, pick up and use various items, and talk to people.</p>

<p>The challenge in each level of <em>Puzznic</em> is to manoeuvre a selection of blocks into place so as to clear them all, by making them make contact with blocks of the same design. You control a cross-hair, which can move a block left or right, which can cause it to fall if there is no block under the space it would occupy.</p>
<p>There are many complications in terms of solving the levels. Moving platforms meaning that you need to move a block at a particular time, or in particular order, to prevent them being blockaded. In some situations there are an odd number of a certain type of block - solving these requires positioning two of the blocks one space apart, such that a move will result in a piece making contact with two others, and immediately removing all three. You will also encounter blocks positioned on platforms suspended in space and gaps in level arrangements meaning that a certain number of blocks must be in place to make a certain move possible (by forming a stack, for example).</p>
<p>The game structure is slightly unusual, as after you complete each batch of four levels you get a choice of two sets of levels - you are progressing through an expanding matrix of levels, which means there are two sets on level 2, three on level 3, four on level 4, and so on. This means that there are a total of 220 screens in the game. Each screen is played against a time limit, and losing a level (either by running out of time, or by making a poor move and leaving an impossible position) loses one of your three lives.</p>

<p>International Tennis lets up to four players play tennis on three different courts (grass, clay and asphalt), each with their own ball bounce. The game can be played using different match variations. You can play singles with men (five sets) or women (three sets) or play mixed with both in doubles. You can choose to take control of all players or choose a cpu-vs-cpu match. The action is seen from a third person perspective as standard is with tennis games.</p>

<p><em>Bricks</em> is a clone of the game <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a>. You control a paddle at the bottom of the screen, and your goal is to destroy a wall of bricks by deflecting a bouncing ball. Each brick the ball comes into contact with will be destroyed, but if the ball falls off the bottom of the screen you lose a life. At some point in each level a bonus brick will appear (as indicated by the black border); if you can hit this brick before it turns back into a normal brick you will earn numerous bonus points. There are three different skill levels available.</p>

<p>Long ago in a far away land, the Princes Gwen was captured and imprisoned in a castle. Your goal is to rescue her! The gameplay of <em>Dragons</em> is similar to a sideways version of <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a>. The good sorcerer Bruce has provided you with a magical sword and five magic coins. Using the sword, you need to bounce the coins into the bricks of the castle which will destroy them. When the coin bounces back, you need to make sure you don't miss it with the sword otherwise that coin will be lost; lose all of your coins and the game ends. Unlike most Breakout style games, you don't need to destroy every brick on the screen, you only need to get a coin through all the layers of bricks and hit the back wall to complete the level and advance in rank. To make the game more challenging, one of several enemies will be wandering around the playfield, some of which will create additional bricks to get in the way. They can be destroyed with a coin, however when that happens the game speed will increase! As you increase in rank, the number of brick walls you need to get through will gradually increase. Good luck on your quest...</p>

<p><em>Snipes</em> is an arcade style action game. You are in a large maze along with a number of generators. The generators create the enemy Snipes, and to win the game you need to shoot all of the generators and all of the Snipes they create. The game is played using two sets of four keys, one set to move and one to fire; this allows you to both move and fire in eight different directions, and you aren't limited to firing in the same direction you are facing (similar to the controls in games such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Robotron:+2084">Robotron: 2084</a>). The Snipes are armed as well, and will be firing back at you! If you lose all of your lives, the game ends and the Snipes win. There are numerous skill levels available; in the higher levels the snipes are more numerous, more aggressive, and the maze walls become deadly to touch.</p>

<p><em>Janitor Joe</em> is an action platform game. On an automated space station all of the robots have gone crazy, and Joe needs to escape! In order to escape, he needs to collect all of his keys which are located throughout the space station. You control Joe and need to climb and jump around the various platforms to reach all of the keys. On each screen there are several mad robots wandering about which should be avoided (or you lose a life). You also need to make sure you don't fall too great a distance or run out of oxygen! There are five different difficulty levels available, and also a special hidden room.</p>

<p><em>Caverns of Zoarre</em> is a dungeon crawl role-playing game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3392/telengard/">Telengard</a>. You may choose to be either a fighter or a sorcerer as you explore the multi-leveled caverns for gold and treasures. Your view of the maze like caverns is top down, and only the area near you is visible. Throughout the caverns are many different types of enemies you'll encounter; you can try to bargain or run to get out of trouble, or fight and use spells to defeat enemies. You can also optionally enable real-time fighting instead of turn-based. As you explore and (hopefully) win battles, you'll earn experience points and increase your skills. Good luck on your quest!</p>

<p>Ike and Billy Joe are running illegal booze around the US, and you must take control of their vehicle and make sure they complete each part of their journey. The action is viewed from above and behind the car, in a similar manner to the <a href="/search/?q=OutRun">OutRun</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Lotus">Lotus</a> games. </p>
<p>Gameplay is a sort of reverse <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9832/chase-hq/">Chase H.Q.</a>, as you aim to flee Sheriff Sam's staff, without destroying your car or running out of time. As well as typical car upgrades, between stages you can also buy maps, which will help you plan your route.</p>
<p>The game's atmosphere includes banjo-based background music and CB radio sounds, for that authentic Midwest feel.</p>

<p>Made by the Israeli company Makh-Shevet, <em>Cruel World</em> is a tribute to the famous game <a href="/search/?q=Prince+of+Persia"> Prince of Persia</a>, having identical gameplay and looking very similarly to the classic platformer. </p>
<p>The hero is an innocent citizen who was thrown into a deep dungeon without trial and explanation. The goal is to escape from prison. Just like the prince, the hero must perform a variety of runs and jumps, fight enemies (skeletons and others) in real-time combat, and occasionally solve environmental puzzles.</p>

<p>You play a young college graduate who has been given a large sum of money by your parents to set up a company. You start in a crummy office on the Lower East Side of town, and as you dabble more in the stock market and make more money, you can take a trip to the mall and buy things from a porcelain dalmatian to a new office. You have to be careful, though- one wrong move with your money, and you end up penniless on the street.</p>

<p>On each of Clockwiser's levels (100 on Amiga/Amiga CD32 and 110 on DOS), you are presented with a level layout, and a target layout, with the aim being to transform the former to match the target. The levels consist of a collection of cogs, which can be rotated either clockwise or anti-clockwise to achieve this goal. There are lots of special blocks to help out, including bombs, diamond-producers and anti-gravity blocks. Each level has its own time limit, ranging from seconds to minutes - this doesn't start until you make your first move, and you can look around the level at your leisure before making a stab at it. Each level has its own password, which makes progression a little easier.</p>

<p><em>Beyond Destruction</em> is an unofficial add-on for three strategy games:* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=WarCraft+II">WarCraft II</a>: 700 new maps.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer:+Red+Alert">Command &amp; Conquer: Red Alert</a>: 250 singleplayer levels, 200 multiplayer levels.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>: 120 new singleplayer levels, 100 new multiplayer levels, strategy guides and walkthroughs.</li>
</ul>
<p>The levels were not designed specifically for this add-on, but merely collected from the internet, a common practice in the early modem days.</p>

<p>Call it a version of "MasterMind", "Break-the-Code", or "Bulls &amp; Cows", PC-Sherlock pits the player against the computer in a race to deduce a four digit password.  The player creates a four-digit number (with no repeating numbers) and then guesses the computer's number.  The computer responds with the number of Bulls (correct numbers in the correct spot) and Cows (correct numbers in the wrong spot) and then guesses the player's number.  Using the clues provided, can you deduce faster than the computer?</p>
<p>In addition to the standard game (with 3, 4 or 5 digit variations), there is also single-player practice game and a series of skill-building tutorials.</p>

<p>Doofus is like a reverse <a href="/search/?q=Sleepwalker">Sleepwalker</a> - you play a simpleton (hence the title) and must get through a series of platform levels ensuring that neither you nor your pet dog get hurt. The game unusually scrolls from right to left, with the dog simply following you. The platforms are often on different levels, providing multiple routes through the game. Most hazards in the game can be shot, but others can be avoided by jumping. A number of bonus weapons and other enhancements are on offer.</p>

<p>The war of 1999 left the country of Kookistan in shambles. Naturally, a dictator named General Akhboob took control of the beleagured nation and began creating an army of radioactive mutants. With a virtually impenetrable stronghold, a bunch of hostages, and a legion of mutants under his command, the evil despot will stop at nothing but world domination. Only two men have the courage and idealistic naivete to take on Akhboob and his forces: Captain Carnage and Major Mayhem, also known as the Doomsday Squad.</p>
<p>As Captain Carnage or Major Mayhem, it is up to you or you and a friend (in simultaneous action) to rescue the hostages while shooting hundreds of mutants bent on your destruction.

<p>Created by two high-school students, <em>Vampyr: Talisman of Invocation</em> is a freeware role-playing game heavily influenced by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Ultima">Ultima games</a>. The hero must save the fantasy world of Quilinor from a grave danger. The player travels through Quilinor fighting goblins, giants, zombies, and other assorted monsters while emptying the pockets of innocent civilians, getting treasure from dungeons, and picking locks off castles doors. </p>
<p>Visually and in terms of basic gameplay, the game is very similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Ultima+V">Ultima V</a>, though with much simpler gameplay mechanics and interaction possibilities. The hero travels over the top-down world map, enters towns marked as icons, and engages in free-movement tile-based combat that occurs on special screens, against enemies who are visible on the map before contact is initiated. Character creation, however, has little to do with <em>Ultima</em>: the player assigns the more traditional <em>AD&amp;D</em>-like attributes to the protagonist, and also chooses skills, which range from combat proficiencies to lockpicking.</p>

<p><em>Sensible World of Soccer: European Championship Edition</em> is an updated release of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/80196/sensible-world-of-soccer-9596/">Sensible World of Soccer '95/'96</a>. The only changes are updated team rosters and the pre-set European Championship of 1996 with the correct groups. The new Golden Goal rule is not included.</p>
<p>The PC CD version also adds spoken match commentary.</p>

<p>Viewed from above, the task in each level of <em>X-It</em> is to create a path to walk through to the exit, by moving blocks around a walled arena. The movement physics are fairly true to real life - most blocks can only be pushed if there is a block's worth of space behind them, and nothing immediately ahead of them. </p>
<p>The levels are full of gaps, through which blocks can be pushed - this has the double effect of freeing up extra room in the level, and allowing you to walk over those spaces. Other hazards include ice which prevents blocks from stopping until they go past it. Falling through holes loses you one of your 3 lives - you also have 5 attempts at each screen.</p>

<li><a href="/search/?q=Magic+Carpet:+Hidden+Worlds">Magic Carpet: Hidden Worlds</a> (add-on)</li>
</ul>
<p>In Europe, this version was made available as a re-release of <em>Magic Carpet</em>, not using Plus in the title.</p>

<p>This is the scrolling beat 'em up by Technos which started the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/1915/kunio-nekketsu-high-games/">Kunio / Nekketsu High</a> series. The original takes takes place in a Japanese city, whereas its western version named <em>Renegade</em> is set on the mean streets of Brooklyn. This conversion later produced unofficial sequels <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7622/target-renegade/">Target: Renegade</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/18447/renegade-iii-the-final-chapter/">Renegade III: The Final Chapter</a>. You must venture through to meet your girlfriend, and then rescue her from her kidnappers. This is split into five levels, taking you through the subway and the docks as well as some inhospitable streets. A wide range of aggressive moves are on offer, including headbutts, kicks, punches and flying kicks. Much of the game's violence is depicted in a fairly tongue-in-cheek style, with an element of attempted humour along the way.</p>

<p>This puzzle game has 101 levels, in which you have to guide a varying number of Brainies of four different colors onto a spot that matches their color. You control a cross-hair, and press fire while over a Brainy to take or give up control of its motion. Running out of time costs you a life.</p>
<p>The challenge lies in the fact that you can only control the direction in which a Brainy will walk. Once this is set, he will continue to walk until he hits a wall, an obstacle or another Brainy. </p>
<p>To make things a bit more complicated, there are various obstacles like arrows that change the direction a Brainy is walking in and items than can optionally be picked up.</p>

<p>Blam! Machinehead is basically a normal 3D shooter where you shoot enemies and explore the futuristic, barren wastelands and abandoned factories and such as you try to save the world. 
The player controls Kimberly Stride, who is a scientist.
She has to save the world from bad DNA that is slowly "eating" everything away.</p>
<p>As a player, you control this hovercraft-thingy which was designed to be a safe vehicle to be in while travelling through this infested world. The game has nice 3D graphics and a very unique mood to it that separates it from the more common shooters.</p>

<p>Bart Simpson has been sent to his room and it’s up to you to help him escape and collect the items he’ll need to rescue his hero Krusty the Clown.  Along with the standard side scroller jump/duck, Bart is armed with a variety of weapons such as a slingshot, spray paint, and water balloons which he can use to dispatch the space mutants, basement ghosts, and other uncool things getting in his way.</p>
<p>There are six levels for exploration including a spider infested attic, the Springfield Mall, and a twisted Itchy &amp; Scratchy dream world.  Ultimately, when Bart manages to complete all the levels, he is taken to Krustyland for a final showdown with his nemesis Sideshow Bob.</p>

<p>You play a rookie boxer trying to fight your way to the top. Fight bouts to win money, to pay for your training and manager. Ultimately fighting your way to the title "Champion".</p>
<p>TV Sports Boxing introduces many elements within the game, which among others may be categorized as the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Character Creation</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>The "campaign" version in TV Sports: Boxing allows you to start "a new career" of which you have to create a new "human player". Here you can customize your boxer, generally how he looks but more importantly what stats he begins, what style of boxing (ie. Boxer, Brawler, Dancer, Defensive), and which punch packs the most (ie. Jab, Cross, Uppercut). </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Managing Bouts and Training</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>At the "Training Camp" you can meet up with your manager and your trainer. </p>
<p><strong>The Manager</strong> sets up bouts for you to fight in the following month. Managers can only introduce bouts relevant to their "quality" of service. Better managers may be hired as they provide better-paying bouts - and higher-ranking opponents (though they also ask for a higher wage). You must, however, fire your current manager first and have adequate funds to hire a new one.</p>
<p>Each bout pays a certain amount of money. Regardless of whether you win or lose (minus manager cuts, trainer fees, and training camp expenses).</p>
<p><strong>The Trainer</strong> provides you with additional training per month, depending on his/her specialty stat (ie. Power, Stamina, Footwork, etc.) If you continue a successful career, better trainers will appear offering different types of services (which they also ask a higher fee, of course).</p>
<p>While meeting with the Trainer, you can also purchase equipment to increase your training (stats increase). There are 3 slots available for equipment. Equipment has a certain duration of time (months) expiration before it needs to be replaced.</p>
<p>Additionally, you can also view your character here, to view monthly stats increase, either obtained by training or by bouts (stats increase are automatic).</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Round 1 - Fight!</strong>  </li>
</ul>
<p>After you've arranged a bout with your manager, you can enter the appointed bout in the following month. The TV commentator gives comments on "Tale-of-the-Tape" of both boxers before the match begins, as well as the rules of the game.</p>
<p><strong>The Ring</strong>  </p>
<p>The match starts in a top-down perspective where you can close into your opponent and fight face-to-face or you can dance around the ring (usually meant to increase your stamina).</p>
<p><strong>Boxing</strong>  </p>
<p>The fight itself enters a 3rd person perspective screen (Player 1 on the left, Computer opponent, or Player 2 on the right).</p>
<p>The purpose is of course to weaken your opponent and knock him down! If the stamina bar reaches zero, the opponent falls down. However, if the Head or Body reaches zero, they fall down and don't stand up! Knock Out!</p>
<p>Being knocked out 3 times in the same round or serious injuries is considered a T.K.O.</p>

<p><em>Trash It</em> is an arcade action game where player(s) have to destroy buildings with a gigantic hammers. 
As a player, you take a role of construction worker who has only one mission: To smash everything to bits.
Pieces are flying and houses falling as players hack their way through levels and earning points as they go.</p>

<p>Whereas the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/26882/netwars/">NetWars</a> was developed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/4178/novell/">Novell</a> to be bundled with their Personal NetWare program to show off NetWare's IPX capabilities, this update with more advanced graphics and new features was released with OpenDOS.</p>
<p>The main idea of <em>Advanced NetWars</em> is much like the original: you are placed in the cockpit of a space fighter and sent out into the vast reaches of space to shoot down your enemies or be killed yourself. You are given plasma guns, missiles, and turbo boosters to help you on your mission.</p>
<p>Your 3D radar is also very important to you, as it shows where other fighters are relative to your position, but also how far "above" or "below" you they are.</p>

<p><em>F1</em> is an Official Formula One Racing Game. There are two modes of play available: "Arcade", "Grand Prix". In both of these modes you complete a certain number of laps (4, 8, or 12) and select which circuit that you want to race on. The circuits include San Marino, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Japan, and Australia. Some circuits are easy, while some are difficult. </p>
<p>There are slight differences between the two modes. For instance, "Arcade" allows you to select the circuit in any order that you like, whereas "Grand Prix" only allows you to fine-tune your car before starting a race. You also need to race a circuit in the order that they appear on the circuit selection screen, but you can skip a track if you want. </p>
<p><em>F1</em> is a 1-2 player game, meaning that if you have another player handy, you can compete against each other.</p>

<p>Chess is one of the oldest PC games ever made: it was written in March, 1980 and converted to IBM PC in December, 1981. This is probably the very first chess game running in MS-DOS.</p>
<p>Taking it's age into account, it's no surprise that the game features only text-mode graphics. The chess board and the pieces are drawn using ASCII characters. For the same reason, it's also no surprise that the user input is based just on keyboard commands.</p>
<p>In Chess there is no multiplayer mode - you play only against the computer. As usual, in this kind of game, you can select the A.I.'s skill level.</p>
<p>The game offers 24 difficulty levels.</p>

<p>In <em>Legend of Xanadu</em>, the player controls a young adventurer named Areios. Monsters attack his homeland, and he is forced to flee. After traveling by ship and arriving at the town Bolda, Areios finds out that strange things have been happening in the North Cave near the town. His first mission will be to venture to the North Cave and investigate the matter. Of course, soon Areios finds himself involved in a battle against sinister forces, and commences the longest and most dangerous adventure of his life!</p>
<p>The game is an action RPG set in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/2908/dragon-slayer-universe/">Dragon Slayer</a> universe, with a gameplay style similar to <a href="/search/?q=Falcom"> Falcom's</a> other popular series, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/1497/ys-series/">Ys</a>. Controlling Areios, the player explores the top-down world, visiting towns and fighting monsters in vast outdoor areas and dungeons. Like in <em>Ys</em> series, it is sufficient to "bump" into a monster in order to inflict damage. Areios gains hit points and becomes stronger by sustaining damage from enemies and resting. His weapons and armor can gain experience and level up. In many areas, companions will join Areios and help him in combat, controlled by the computer AI.</p>
<p>The game is divided into chapters; the final stage of each chapter is a side-scrolling/platform level, which Areios has to navigate in order to reach the boss enemy, defeat him, and end the chapter. In such stages, the combat turns into a more familiar action-oriented style, with the player being required to press buttons in time in order to execute attacks and jump.</p>
<p>There is a day/night cycle in the game, manifested not only in graphical changes, but also in the schedules of townspeople: when it's dark, people will return to their homes and go to sleep, etc.</p>

<p>Following <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/259/balance-of-power/">Balance of Power</a>, designer <a href="/search/?q=Chris+Crawford">Chris Crawford</a> stuck to the big-picture approach but shifted the focus from power politics to macroeconomics. In a grassroots simulation of industrial production and allocation, players balance a country’s military and social spending to survive in an environment of fictitious nations competing for land and resources.</p>
<p>Key element in the turn-based <em>The Global Dilemma</em> is a basic tree of industries such as coal mines, lumber mills or gunpowder factories. The entire production chain culminates in only two results: an increase in either military strength or population. Guns or butter. </p>
<p>The careful balancing and channelling of the industrial production, stripped down to the most basic mechanics, is <em>The Global Dilemma</em>’s fundamental challenge. A growing worker population is vital for the economy. A strong military is vital for conquering neighboring provinces, their resources and population. </p>
<p>At the same time, rivalling countries threaten the borders, and troops must be deployed to the vulnerable spots on the map. Superiority in numbers wins the abstract clashes of armies. The expert difficulty level adds a diplomacy system in which nations form short-term economic alliances.</p>
<p><em>The Global Dilemma</em> sees Crawford refine his particular brand of socio-global simulations, reducing complex issues to basic cause-and-effects chains that have a distinctly educative edge. As usual, a well-written manual details the game’s mechanics. Crawford continued with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2514/balance-of-the-planet/">Balance of the Planet</a> (1990).</p>

<p>A classic western story, but in Disney's cartoons style. Mr. Vyle, an evil squire, controls a border country town, beautiful girls, in this case Melissa, included. But Tequila (Terence Hill alias a lynx) and Boom Boom (Bud Spencer alias a brown bear) arrive to stop him and his plans, and save the maiden. </p>
<p>Classic point&amp;click adventure, with simple interface. Besides puzzles, there are some arcade mini-games (like shoot at a money in the air) too.</p>

<p><em>El Capitán Trueno</em> (Captain Thunder) is the name of a famous Spanish comic book which tells the ongoing story of the eponymous 12th-century hero. This is the first game dealing with the character, released to all of the Spanish-speaking world's most vital computing platforms at the time: ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, MSX and MS-DOS; all ports except for the PC version contain two different segments, the first a calmer adventure portion followed by some frenetic arcade action.</p>
<p>The final mission is to rescue Sigrid, Trueno's beloved, from the monastery of his friend Abbot Estanislao de Castiglione. Along the way, the Capitán will have to face giant spiders, skeleton soldiers, enormous rats and a plethora of imaginative creatures such as the Abbot transformed into a demonic goat. The Capitán strives to triumph over all these opponents with the assistance of his friends sturdy Goliath, who though immobile can lash out with meaty fists and jump in place to cause earthquakes, and nimble Crispín, a man who can shimmy up a rope of any length.</p>

<p>In 1989 arrived at our screens a game of the world of soccer: Michel Futbol Master + Super Skills, carried out by the ex-player of Real Madrid, Michel. As habitual on Dinamic games, this game consists of two loads clearly differentiated:</p>
<p>-Load 1: Super Skills (tests), This load has the objective to initiate you  on the game play, it consists of 5 tests, starting with cones dribbling, ball control (you must obtain that the ball will not touch the ground with a frontal viewing), passing (you must assist your companion to score), shooting (the inverse of the previous) and penalty shoot out (with frontal view again, you must calculate your shoot). </p>
<p>-Load 2: Michel Futbol Master (Championship), in this load we will play the 88's EuroCup celebrated in Germany, and we will be able to choose between 8 European teams: Italy, Denmark, Germany, Spain, URSS, Holland, England and Ireland. The simulator has cenital view, in game you can calculate the shot's power and height, and also, the simulator allows you to see and listen (with digital sound) the real names of all players.</p>

<p>A text based quiz game about human sexuality. Dr. Ruth did the questions along with her researchers. It is a time based quiz game where you have multiple choice. These are not obvious and sometimes you have to choose the only true or false answer among the four or five choices. There is a countdown clock and your score also is modified by how fast you answer the questions.</p>

<p><em>First Expedition</em> is a naval simulation game.</p>
<p>The player navigates the seas of an alien world in search of ancient artifacts. Gameplay involves navigation, interaction with natives, and fighting. Many aspects of seafaring have been modeled, including weather effects.</p>

<p><em>RAM!</em> is a simulation of combat using Triremes. Triremes were the war ships used in ancient Greece. The game takes place during the Peloponnesian War, which was a conflict between Athens and Sparta. These boats were meant to ram and sink the others using oar power. </p>
<p><em>RAM!</em> is based on the board game Trireme (also by <a href="/search/?q=Avalon+Hill">Avalon Hill</a>).</p>

<p>A direct translation of the Avalon Hill board game of the same name, Circus Maximus. Race your chariot around the track and try to be the winner. Strategic use of your whip on your horses, another driver, or another driver's horses, lead to crashes and other fun events as you maneuver for first place.</p>

<p>This is a medieval era game where each player starts out as a baron. The game takes place in a pseudo-european state where you need to acquire vassals and land. Getting more vassals and land through battling the other barons, you can expand and build castles and towns. Wizards and spells are also available to make this more of a fantasy wargame than anything else.</p>

<p><em>Heavy Barrel</em> is a shooter with a top-down view similar to <a href="/search/?q=Senj%C5%8D+no+%C5%8Ckami">Commando</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6739/ikari-warriors/">Ikari Warriors</a>. Terrorists have seized the underground control complex of a nuclear missile site. It is up to the player to infiltrate the installation and eliminate the leader of the terrorist army before they can launch the missiles. To stop the terrorists you will need the powerful weapon Heavy Barrel. The problem is that the weapon still is in the installation. Before the fortress fell the weapon was taken apart and locked in six different storage lockers. To defeat the terrorists you must collect all keys and reassemble the weapon. The game supports co-op for two players.</p>

<p>Early (1983) TRS-80 BASIC text adventure game, the middle in a forgotten trilogy (sandwiched between "<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/158482/project-triad/">Project Triad</a>" and "<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Codename+Intrepid">Codename Intrepid</a>"), remembered for its no-holds-barred approach to math and logic concepts informing game settings and puzzles: in one section, sparking a genre cliche, one has to play a text adventure game <em>inside the text adventure game</em>; in another, one falls asleep and in a dream constructs a proof utilising physical representations of various components of symbolic logic; additional game areas are accessed by pushing and popping the stack, objects extruded from 2 to 3 dimensions by <em>_y_</em>ing them.</p>
<p>The supporting documentation understates when it claims <em>the scenario for the adventure is meant to be vague</em> -- searching for a 12-word code phrase (unlocked in chunks upon completion of certain puzzles) is just an excuse for sending an unwary player through an alien and abstract setting two words at a time (using VERB NOUN gameplay with a vocabulary of about 200).</p>
<p>Later (1988) versions of this game were ported in C to Solaris, Atari ST and MS-DOS environments; more recently, in December 2003, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Andrew+Plotkin">Andrew Plotkin</a> ported it to the interactive fiction standard of machine-independent Z-code.</p>

<p>The heirless King Ardashir I of the Magocratic Kingdom of Persis is falling ill, and before dying intends to name a wizardly successor based on the outcome of a sorcerous tournament to the death. The main contenders are Balthazar, the king's seer and master of scrying; General Loge, leader of Persis' armies, a War Mage with a focus on flame magic; the beguiling enchantress Lilith, queen of neighboring Partha; Rhiannon the conjuror, daughter of a druid and barbarian chief, strong in nature spells; Uzume, a mysterious summoner; and the protagonist, an urchin with a handful of cantrips to help survive the streets at night, visiting in hopes of learning a thing or two about magic use by observing the proceedings -- but accidentally, and terrifyingly, thrown into the competition unarmed and outclassed. To survive, the hero needs to somehow win the competition.</p>
<p>An unusually MUD-like entry in the 2004 IF Compo (placing 18th), this game pits the player against an array of stronger opponents in an enclosed castle complex, all interacted with through a robust TADS text adventure interface. Since the emphasis is on survival, not storytelling, descriptions and character interactions are terse and to-the-point -- more <a href="/search/?q=Colossal+Cave">Colossal Cave</a> than <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/30162/zork/">Zork</a>, with a generous helping of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21738/legend-of-the-red-dragon/">Legend of the Red Dragon</a> mellowing the difference.</p>
<p>A winning strategy involves thorough exploration of the environment, scavenging arcane knowledge and artifacts from the grimoires of adversaries slain by other competitors, and having the dumb luck to be in the right place at the right time to do so. By the end of the game you should have tamed the denizens of the castle's dungeon, mastered the respective sorcerous schools of all your ex-rivals, brought life to inanimate objects and brought back from the dead extinct monsters to do your bidding -- leaving you in a position for kingship to seem a far more plausible possibility than when you started. But to get there, you're going to have to tread lightly and do plenty of hack-and-slash RPG-style stat-building.</p>

<p><em>Quest for Glory I: So You Want To Be A Hero</em> is a remake of <a href="/search/?q=Hero's+Quest:+So+You+Want+To+Be+A+Hero%0A">Hero's Quest: So You Want To Be A Hero</a>.</p>
<p>The remake features 256-color VGA graphics. Locations have been re-drawn, and character portraits appear during conversations. This version also has an icon-based interface instead of the text input of the original, very similar to the one used by Sierra for their adventure titles. The player selects dialogue choices from a dialogue menu, as opposed to typing in conversation topics in the earlier release. A few changes have been made to the dialogue, adding (or altering) some of the easter eggs and references to other games.</p>
<p>Combat now features clay models for the enemies and stop-motion animation. The perspective has been switched to an over-the-shoulder view farther away from the player. Battle commands (two types of attacks, parry, and dodge) are displayed as icons on a shield in the corner of the screen. The player can switch to the spell menu at any time, and also click the middle of the screen to escape from combat.</p>

<p>Originating in the arcades, <em>Side Arms</em> is a horizontally scrolling shoot ‘em up in which you control Lieutenant Henry (a second player can control Sergeant Sanders in some versions), armed with crude weaponry and protective jump-suits. They must save the earth from the mercenary invaders of Bozon. You must first reach Bozon’s territories, then wipe out its forces hidden in caverns and lurking in underground seas, before destroying the main invasion ship. Lots of extra weapons can be picked up, often with similar tokens to those in <a href="/search/?q=1943">1943</a> and some other Capcom titles. Most weapons can be shot either to the left or the right, giving you more range to launch attacks.</p>

<p>After Manchester United won the English League championship for the first time since 1967, it was no surprise that Krisalis re-used their existing license for a third licensed football game. Little did they know that the club was entering an unprecedented run of success that has continued well into the 2010s.</p>
<p>The basic control system will be familiar to anyone who’s played <a href="/search/?q=Kick+Off"> a Kick Off game</a>, as it involves holding fire to trap the ball under your player’s foot, and releasing fire to pass, although the ball will be kicked onwards if it is moving fast when it comes to you. Other gameplay features include diving headers, variable pitch conditions, penalty shoot-outs and accurate deflections. 2500 players featured in the game all had a range of varied ability statistics, as well as different skin tones.</p>
<p>As well as individual matches and custom-created tournaments (which have much the same range of features as <a href="/search/?q=%E2%80%99Sensible">Sensible Soccer</a>, plus full calculation of injury and suspension severities, including disciplinary points and differing injury lengths), you can play out a full season of matches for any club in England’s top 5 divisions – all domestic league and cup matches are included, with promotions and relegations taking place after each season. The Tacti-Grid editor allows for advanced match tactics to be configured and experimented with.</p>

<p>Einstein, Newton and Darwin are the Galactic Warrior Rats, mutant hybrids who come under your control in this top-down multi-directional shooter. Their plan is to save the badly polluted planet Smeaton Five by destroying its robotic defences and the computer primed to explode it. </p>
<p>Many enemies must be shot down along the way, but most release credits when shot – wait a few seconds for these to appear. You have three lives, with each rat representing a life, which means that all upgrades are lost when you lose a life, and each rat’s protective biosphere has the ability to withstand a few shots. Before heading into the action, you can spend your initial 500 credits on upgrades and weaponry. Your movement features a degree of inertia, making it harder to stop short of a position.</p>

<p>MYCHESS is one of the oldest chess games ever made. It was developed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/4147/david-kittinger/">David Kittinger</a> (the man behind the famous <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Chessmaster">Chessmaster</a> games) in 1979, although the DOS version was published in 1984.</p>
<p>The game offers various configuration options to make adjustments for different hardware and doesn't have mouse support, so the standard chess notations have to be written on the keyboard to move the pieces.</p>
<p>In MYCHESS you can only play against the computer and there are 9 levels of difficulty to chose from. Games can't be loaded or saved but you can set up the board at the beginning.</p>
<p>The game also allows you to record the moves on the printer and provides time controls for timed games.</p>

<p>Jetset is a text mode 747 flight simulator, possibly the very first made for PC. Its code, in BASIC, was published on November 1982's issue of the BYTE magazine.</p>
<p>Except during take off / landing, where the runway is visible, all you can see are the plane's panels and controls, which you can operate using the keyboard. Despite its minimal interface, Jetset is realistic as it relies on a good physics engine.</p>

<p>Harald Hardtooth is a tooth with a face, arms, legs and a bowtie, armed with a tube of toothpaste. He must use this toothpaste to shoot all manner of bacteria enough times to kill (erode?) them. The levels are made up of a sequence of platforms, which run across most of the level. Harald Hardtooth can always jump up one level, or jump down as far as necessary to reach the next ledge under him without incurring damage, although falling off the bottom of the level costs you a life. Energy is lost through contact with the bacteria, and you have a limited supply of toothpaste, with a need to collect more as the game goes on. You can also collect enhanced weaponry such as double firing.</p>

<p>This football game aims for a higher level of realism than most of its contemporaries. The game can be viewed top-down (similar to <a href="/search/?q=%E2%80%99Kick">the Kick Off games</a>) or side-on (similar to <a href="/search/?q=%E2%80%99Manchester">Manchester United Europe</a>). Three different passing modes are offered, with the aim of providing precise one-touch passing or the ability for long-range direct through-balls. The match options include 10 skill levels, variable wind, five different pitch conditions, and variable match lengths. You can play league and cup tournaments featuring up to 32 of the game’s teams, which are taken from the top clubs in top European countries.</p>

<p><em>World Class Soccer</em> is a soccer (football) game that ties in with the 1990 football World Cup. The game uses a top-down perspective for matches and features the full World Cup structure and all the 24 teams who were involved. Multiple formations and team selections are available before each match. The ball sticks to the feet of the players, who can be tackled either by doing a block tackle, or attempting a slide tackle, which risks giving away a foul. Matches can vary between 4 and 90 minutes, and each player has differing skills and behaviour style depending on his team's relative ability.</p>

<p>Baron von Bansai has stolen Terry's precious collection of crystals, and dropped them onto 32 different kingdoms, so Terry sets off to retrieve them. Viewed from above, his challenge sees him having to progress through these worlds, collecting keys to gain access to different sections, and avoiding enemy balls and bugs by jumping them where possible. There are no 'lives' as such, but there's a strict time limit of around 400 seconds for the whole game, and death puts you back to the start of the level, with time lost as well. You get an extra 80 seconds for completing each level though.</p>
<p>The levels feature all manner of further hazards - there are holes in the ground to avoid falling through (some visible, some hidden), arrows which force the ball in a particular direction, slippery squares making any movement's effect exaggerated, magneted squares making it impossible to jump from, and many more. Fortunately lots of power-ups, time boosts and bonus fruits are dropped onto the levels at random intervals as well.</p>
<p>To complete the game you must clear 8 levels, and the structure is non-linear - initially you have a choice of 4 levels, and after completing one of those you have a choice of 4 more levels (which are different depending on which level you completed first). The third and fourth levels you take on as you go through the game are chosen from a choice of 3, the fifth and sixth from a choice of two, and only those final two levels are perscribed (although they do vary depending on which levels you've already done).</p>
<p>Each of the 32 worlds has its own twist - Arrow Kingdom has a large amount of arrows directing you, Ice Kingdom is especially slippery, Unseen Kingdom leaves you to work out the route for yourself (other than the holes, which are all you can see), Box Kingdom involves a lot of flying over some trapped squares to grab the keys they contain before making the main jumps onto the sections which contain crystals, and so on.</p>

<p><em>Sapiens</em> is an adventure/arcade game that brings you back 100,000 years ago for discovering the everyday life of the Homo Sapiens Neandertalensis. You play as a young hunter from the Light-Foot tribe, and as such you'll have to explore your territory, keep up friendly contacts with the other tribes, trade objects, make assegai heads and fight for your life. One key to survival is to know your environment: learning the location of the springs, the hunting territories full of rabbits, the gloomy plains where wolves are on the prowl and the other tribe's camps is paramount.</p>

<p>As rebel forces close in on the space station Gallion, you launch strikes against enemy-controlled planets in the most sophisticated techno-toy available to mankind, the space fighter Thunder Cloud II. </p>
<p>The game is a blend of action sequences in an <a href="/search/?q=Afterburner">Afterburner</a>-esque pseudo-3D view. These sequences vary between ground combat, aerial combat and space combat, with different motion physics and enemy craft. There is also a strategic battle choices on a galactic map invaded in real-time.</p>
<p>The PC version uses speaker tweaks to recreate the game's tune on theoretically-inferior hardware.</p>

<p>Marble, the young and innocent apprentice of magic, has always been curious about one of her master's possessions, the magic "Wand of Wishes". One day the curious girl uses the wand; as a result, an evil demon is unleashed into the world. The spirit of the wand, a rabbit-like creature known as Sirius, tells Marble that it is now her responsibility to save the world from the demon, whose vile plan is to brainwash and sexually abuse ripe pretty young girls!</p>
<p><em>Marble Cooking</em> is an action game with puzzle-solving elements. The game consists of seven stages; each stage has one-screen levels. Marble is inserted into the level, with hostile creatures of various kinds (ghosts, books, demons, gangsters, brooms, etc.) wandering around her; the girl dies if any of the creatures touches her. </p>
<p>The only way to defeat the creatures is through summoning Sirius. First, it is necessary to place a line of carrots on the floor. At any time afterwards, the player can call Sirius by pressing a button; the rabbit will then re-trace the carrot line, stopping where it ends. The goal is to time all this in such a way that the hostile creatures will collide with the running rabbit, leading to their demise. </p>
<p>The levels get more complex as the game progresses, with room layouts (corridors, angles, and so on) working against Marble, more aggressive creatures with hard-to-predict movement patterns, etc.</p>
<p>Scenes with explicit sexual content (mostly involving various fetishes, torture, and other sexual deviations) appear between stages.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3475/operation-wolf/">Operation Wolf</a> arcade game was the obvious inspiration for this shoot 'em up. As a lone soldier you must shoot your way through waves of soldiers, tanks and helicopters, armed with only bullets and grenades. You aim at these by controlling a crosshair with the mouse, using the left button to shoot bullets and the right button to fire grenades. You are limited for both of these, but more can be collected as they appear throughout the game by shooting them. Your strength is limited and deteriorates as you get hit - avoid letting it drop to zero.</p>

<p>On their way to help in the battle against Sargon, a crew of adventurers each skilled in their own way encounter a storm that rips a hole in their ship. Safely reaching Lamini, or Land of Towers, the friendly people of the land help repair the damaged ship. As the crew members are looking for a job, they meet the Mayor of the town who is in need of messengers. He tells the adventurers that Lord Baniff has not been heard from in weeks, and that he needs them to seek him out in his Tower and bring word of his condition. Entering the doorway into the Tower, the entrance collapses behind them and they must find their way out.</p>
<p>The gameplay is similar to other first-person realtime D&amp;D games like the <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/search/quick?q=eye+of+the+beholder">Eye of the Beholder</a> series, though not as complex. There are four characters in the game and you choose one to control. Spell incantations are learned from scrolls and are cast by combining the correct syllables. There are 15 levels to explore and tons of monsters and items to find. You can play the game in cooperative mode with another player using a link cable.</p>

<p>The second game from Simulmondo based on the Italian comics character Dylan Dog, "horror detective", is a first-person view adventure game largely based on Lovecraft's literary works and their mythology (Cthulhu, the Necronomicon). While you're called to investigate on the murder of a famous archaeologist, an unprecedented volcano activity is taking place, with the scientists unable to find an explanation. The game is divided in two parts, and is quite different from other Simulmondo productions based on Dylan Dog.</p>

<p>"What they said about Sherlock I, you'll say about Sherlock II"...reads the advert in the box, based on the nice critics about Volume I.</p>

<li>
<p>The same video technology (this is 1992), keeps offering true interactive environment: actually letting you "feel" the traffic in the streets of the old London…</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The same structure brings a familiar look, inviting to channel all attention to the task of solving mysteries: your intelligence, skills and patience are required to find clues by listening to people, observing details, or even reading the London Times - but don't let yourself be misguided by a wrong hint.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The same number of cases: 3</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>But, each situation is completely different: “<em>The Two Lions</em>” involving the murder of circus lions, “<em>The Pilfered Paintings</em>” just bought by The National Gallery...and “<em>The Murdered Munitions Magnate</em>”, where hints reveal different possible motives...have nothing in common, except the detective in charge: you…</p>

<p>Avalon takes place in the future after the destruction of earth. A group of people known as the Avalon-cult flees to an distant planet called Avalon, which had an earth like climate. Unfortunately, one day their village was suddenly attacked by hundreds of strange creatures. The leader of the colonists, Lee, tried to negotiate with the monsters but was captured. A young man named Mace volunteers to seek for Lee and to find out what the monsters wanted in order to secure the safety of human life on the planet. </p>
<p>The game itself is a console style RPG seen from an top-down view, where you solve puzzles, fight monsters and talk to the villagers. The battles are, like in many console RPGs, strategic and are turn-based.</p>

</ul>

<p>If you look too hard for a plot you might strain yourself; in what was pretty par for the course at the time, you guide a projectile-firing hero (nuanced shot types: little, big, and Really Big) through 10 levels in the DOS version or 15 levels in the Apple II and Apple IIgs versions (30 more in its look-alike sequel <a href="/search/?q=The+Catacomb">The Catacomb</a>) of twisty, monster-filled mazes in what might critically be reduced to a pretty diluted <a href="/search/?q=Gauntlet">Gauntlet</a> derivative: advance through stages, avoid getting killed, rack up points and offensive bonuses.</p>
<p>The game is mostly of interest for historical value: its preoccupation with secret passages (here revealed by being shot) and an unprecedented "strafe" functionality hint at what lay ahead for its crew, for when you extrude the maze into three dimensions and shift from third-person to a first-person perspective, what you end up with is <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3120/catacomb-3-d/">Catacomb 3-D</a>... from which it is (and was, as it turns out for wunderkind <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/682/john-carmack/">Carmack</a>), only a hop, skip and a jump to <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a> and <a href="/search/?q=DOOM">DOOM</a>.</p>

<p>A real-time multiplayer-only keyboard-crowding (or network) game, this game pits up to four human-operated cute fuzzy widdle bunnies against each other for one goal only: lagomorphic cranial domination.</p>
<p>Against a pastoral Warner Bros. backdrop (or any of over a hundred fan-made levels!) these rabbits re-enact 2D platform <a href="/search/?q=Joust">Joust</a> glories minus the lava, eggs and ostriches; in short, the players pursue each other -- now hunting, now hunted, the tables turned at the blink of an eye -- aiming to exploit variable special landscape features of slippery ice, delaying water and elevating springboards to their advantage.</p>
<p>Points are scored by jumping on other bunnies' heads, to great (and gory) effect; a running tally of head-squishings is kept, with flattened players continually re-spawning.</p>

<p>The year is 2071, the aggressive Kesh Rhan aliens have already destroyed the human colonies on Mars and Pluto, and now plan to wipe out all humans from Earth as well. You play as Jessica Darkhill, lieutenant and most skilled pilot of the Orbital Defence Forces. The counter-attack you are about to launch is the last hope to save the Earth of chaos. </p>
<p><em>Chaos Control</em> is a fast-paced shoot'em up featuring 3d pre-rendered environments, which means you cannot actually control the spaceship you are flying in, but are merely in charge of aiming at the various enemies appearing on screen.</p>

<p>In the game you play Hen House Harry who has to collect 12 (a dozen) eggs from each level, while avoiding the ducklings. The levels each occupy a single screen, and are made up of platforms, ladders and lifts (or elevators), and are thus similar to those in classic platform game <a href="/search/?q=Donkey+Kong">Donkey Kong</a>. Corn can also be collected, which stops the time limit from ticking down and also stops the bonus, collected when the level is completed, from decreasing. The ducklings also eat the corn, however.</p>
<p>There are only 8 distinct levels. The ninth level is a copy of level 1, the tenth is a copy of level 2, and so on. However, on the second time around the ducklings that can use the platforms and ladders are replaced by the Mother Duck, who can fly around the level going through the platforms and ladders. On the third time around, you have to face both the Mother Duck and the ducklings, and similarly on subsequent goes round, when there are more ducklings.</p>

<p>International Sports Challenge let you and up to 3 friends compete in 6 different sports and 21 separate events. You can choose from any mixture of individual events (over 2000 combinations) or play them in sequence with the 26-mile marathon.</p>
<p>Sports available are:
- Marathon, 
- Diving: one- and two-meter springboard, five-meter platform, or medley competition. More than 40 total dives are available.
- Show-jumping: difficulty levels include Gymkhana, National, International and World.
- Swimming:  50-, 100- or 200-metre races, using breast-stroke, butterfly or freestyle. You can also swim the 200-metre medley (50 metres each of breast-stroke, freestyle, back-stroke and butterfly). 
- Cycling: 1000- and 2000-metre courses in sprint or pursuit racing.
- Shooting: skeet, trap, boar (moving) or target shooting.</p>
<p>While some events are purely rendered in 2D (marathon, diving, swimming, shooting), some other are a mixture of flat-shaded 3D and sprites (show-jumping, cycling). </p>

<p><em>Sanjiyan Henjō</em> is based on the manga and anime series <em>3x3 Eyes</em>. Pai, a young girl from the immortal tribe of sanzhiyan, three-eyed demons of Chinese origin, wants to become a human again. She meets a Japanese teenager named Yakumo Fujii, whom she accidentally turns into a "wu", an immortal obedient servant of a three-eyed demon. Together, Pai and Yakumo try to regain their lost humanity.</p>
<p>This game can be considered a side-story to the series. The player does not control Yakumo, but an ordinary high-school student named Kenichi Yamamoto. Accidentally, Kenichi comes into contact with the world of demons, and now he needs the help of Pai and Yakumo to be freed. </p>
<p>The gameplay is standard Japanese-style adventure. The player interacts with the game world by selecting menu commands "Look", "Talk", and "Move". The game features animated cutscenes and (in its console incarnation) voice-overs.</p>

<p>Another hard to find game from the same company that developed <a href="/search/?q=Cautious">The Case of the Cautious Condor</a>.</p>
<p>In this murder mystery you guide Nick, great-nephew of the late Randolph Steere, through the rooms of the haunted Steere mansion. Nick aims to find out where is the last Randolph's will, and how did he really died. There is a limited time for gathering clues through observations and talking and listen to people.</p>
<p>Game play is non linear but, because of the time limit, you must be careful when choosing options.</p>
<p>The graphics recall the comic book style, no animations, just pictures with voices and music.</p>

<p>Unreal is a magical world where you must save Princess Isolde, your true love, from the evil Polymorphic, the Master of Darkness. It is an action game made up of eight levels and contains a mixture of 2D and 3D graphics.  The environment is also completely interactive - you can run up and down hills and slide through the snow but you have to be careful to not fall of the top of a cliff.</p>
<p>On each level you will be faced with puzzles and battles and you need to get the high score you pass to the next level.  If your health reaches zero you will die and the game is over.  Fortunately, your health is replenished at the end of each level.</p>

<p>Three magic scrolls must be found in the first part of the scrolling hack 'n' slash game, before you can make the journey to defeat your foes and rescue the other wizards in the second part. As with so many Dinamic games, the two parts are loaded separately, but the second can't be accessed until a password (provided at the end of part one) is input.</p>
<p>Contact with the enemies en route (which are mostly mutant demons) drains your limited energy, and you are also working against a time limit on each section. As well as your magical powers (which are stronger in part two), you can collect swords to attack, as well as lightning bolts which can be collected to destroy all enemies on screen. In part two vanquished foes release coins, which can be spent at shop sections on rechargers, shields and teleporters amongst other things.</p>

<p><em>Artura</em> is a side-scrolling platform game. The game semi-utilizes the mythology of King Arthur in that you play as Artura, son of the Pendragon. Your goal is rescue Nimue, apprentice to Merdyn, from your evil half-sister Morgause. </p>
<p>You will battle numerous horrible creatures such as spiders and bats with your axe and avoid deadly traps while attempting to gain access to Morgause's castle. You will also search for 6 runes, which contain spells, that you must find in order to free Nimue. Artura contains 4 maze-like levels that are so complicated that poster sized map of the levels is included with the game.</p>

<p>This educational game teaches children about mammals and about logic and language skills by utilizing 5 decoder alphabets: English, American Sign Language, Braille, Morse Code, and Semaphore.</p>
<p>You play as a C.Y.P.H.E.R. (Courageous Young Partners in Hush-Hush Electronic Radiotelegraphy) who must locate and decode CYPHERGRAMS and then deliver them to your client.  Since you are an agent for Operation Wildlife the secret messages will involve a variety of clues about mammals.  Agents must beware of L.U.R.K.'s (Loathsome Underhanded Rotten Krooks) who will try to steal the CYPHERGRAMS.</p>
<p>Players will learn about 87 mammals and their habitats and will also be able to access the built in FunCyclopedia, which contains over 1,000 facts about mammals.  In addition, basic cryptography is taught with the 5 decoder alphabets.</p>
<p>Players can select from 4 levels of difficulty.</p>

<p>Set in the near future, Vanguard Ace is your typical vertical shooter similar to games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/47571/raptor/">Raptor</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1553/xenon/">Xenon</a>. The earth is being invaded by a bunch of aliens called "Visitors" and it's up to you to stop them.</p>
<p>Players will be able to choose from 5 different ship types. Each of them have different abilities and weakness. Vanguard Ace, boasts a number of features like 70FPS of animation, multi-layered parallax scrolling, rendered graphics, mecha style sprite designs and a bounty of power-ups in this Japanese anime-styled universe.</p>

<p>Five events are on offer in this Olympics-style sports game. These can be played individually or as part of a complete tournament, with the chance to choose your nationality first. The events are Hurdles, Triple Jump, Skeet Shooting, Diving and Fencing. Each event's control system involves rotating the joystick and pressing fire at the correct moments. The Fencing is viewed isometrically, and the skeet shooting from a 3D view positioned behind the competitor, which typify the unusual approaches taken to the events, rather than filling the game with 10 or more generic by-the-numbers offerings.</p>

<p>This freeware, fan-made sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D:+Spear+of+Destiny">Spear of Destiny</a> comes with all-new sprites, weapons, and exploding barrels. </p>
<p>Want to find out what really happened to Adolf Hitler after the war? Why his body was never recovered? What did the Nazis do after escaping persecution? Who got hold of the so-called powerful mystical Spear of Destiny? This game boasts 23 levels including secret ones.</p>
<p>In 2011 the game was ported to Windows using <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6417/middleware-sdl/">SDL</a>, allowing it to run natively on modern PCs using a wide range of higher resolution graphics. To mark the game's 10th anniversary, this conversion was accompanied by an all-new map-set for extra challenge, though the original 2001 maps can still be used.</p>

<p><em>NightHunter</em> is an action game in which you actually get to play as Count Dracula. Dracula will have the ability to transform into a bat and a werewolf. Your goal is to locate holy medallions in order to create total chaos on Earth. Of course, Van Helsing and his band of vampire hunters are on your trail, so they must be avoided so you don't get dusted. Enemies encountered include priests with holy water, vultures, and even the police.</p>
<p>The game is a traditional side-scrolling platformer that is made up of 30 levels. Each level has 20 screens. To advance to the next level eight objects must be collected: three parchments and five keys. Every fifth level you obtain one of the medallions. Beware of daybreak! You will die if you don't locate a crypt to protect yourself from the sunlight.</p>

<p>The pivotal battle of World War 2 is recreated using Impressions' Micro Miniatures wargaming system. You take an overall command of the units by directing them, and can play out the individual battles yourself if you wish. The screen display uses letters to indicate the unit type, with only functional use of graphics and sound throughout.</p>
<p>The gameplay is turn-based, with you selecting each move for your units before activating them and letting the computer do the same. The strategic considerations include the surrounding terrain, whether the enemy forces are fortified and ready for your attack, unit morale, unit fatigue and remaining movement points. At higher difficulty levels your orders may not be followed to the letter, as the more ambitious or arrogant generals attempt their own plans.</p>

<p>High-resolution graphics remake of the text-based adventure game inspired by the cult-classic British television show about a former spy who is abducted and sent to a resort-themed "prison" where his captors attempt to get him to reveal why he resigned from his classified job. The game takes place on "The Island," where the player travels from building to building, each hosting a metaphorical quest in which the player's creative thinking skills are tested. Players demonstrating individual thinking eventually gain access to the Island's "Caretaker," and their ensuing conversation (using a language parser) can lead to the player's freedom.</p>

<p>You are Oliver, a cat from the Disney movie "Oliver &amp; Company". The game is a 3rd person perspective arcade scroller.</p>
<p>Plot is same as in the movie. Oliver is a homeless cat that teams up with a gang of dogs and their poor but good owner in New York. You control Oliver through mouse and keyboard and you move around in various places such as the dog gang's home, New York streets and Jenny's mansion. You must score 1000 points to get to next levels. You score points by collecting hot dogs on the street and by catching flying dog biscuits.</p>

<p>Insane genius Austen van Flyswatter has stolen a huge collection of diamonds, and retrieving them involves navigating a succession of fiendishly-designed arrangements of platforms and traps. Does that sound like a job for a retired superhero? Captain Dynamo thinks so, and aims to recapture them for their rightful owner.</p>
<p>Gameplay is platform-based, with 12 (6 in Amiga version) vertically-scrolling levels, each containing around 50 diamonds - the more of these you can collect, the higher your score. Some will require advance planning to reach, while you will often be dependent on booster pads to reach the higher sections of a level.</p>

<p>This language skills educational game allows you to create original crossword puzzles using word clues or 185 illustrations which can be used to as picture clues.  After entering the clues you can randomly generate puzzles that you can solve yourself or play against Mickey (hard), Donald (medium) or Goofy (easy).  The game features bonus and super bonus points, more than 20 musical tunes and a fireworks display for the winner.  You can also print your creations using Disney backgrounds or borders, including such characters as Dumbo, Peter Pan, Snow White and many more.  Picture menu bars guides you through both the game and the tools for creating and printing out puzzles.</p>

<p><em>International Soccer Challenge</em> is loosely a sequel to <a href="/search/?q=++++Microprose+Pro+Soccer">MicroProse Soccer</a> and it has many similarities to the original, including the way the ball sticks to your player's foot. The major difference is the visual perspective, which is in pure 3D, viewed just behind the ball as you move up the pitch, with full polygons and some shading. You have a radar on screen to allow you to see where your team-mates are, which reduces the disadvantage of not being able to look behind you.</p>
<p>Two tournaments are featured - a superleague and a recreated World Cup, as well as practice modes. By moving the joystick as you shoot, you can adjust the direction and height of a pass or shot, allowing for a wide range of moves.</p>

<p>The P-47 was one of the toughest planes in use in World War 2, and this side-scrolling shoot 'em up puts you in control of one as you take on hordes of Nazis. 16-bit versions have a simultaneous 2-player mode, as well as the ability to wrap-around the game with increased difficulty up to 4 times.</p>
<p>You are initially armed with a machine gun, but can also pick up bombs, spray missiles and multi-missiles by picking up the appropriate letter. Each weapon can be upgraded by picking up further tokens of the same type. Tokens offering extra lives and speed-ups are also on offer.</p>

<p>In ancient times, the dwarven kingdom Dol Armaëth was overrun by evil forces, but the wise king Armaëth managed to drive them out. Unfortunately, evil came back after Armaëth's death and the kingdom was forgotten. The player aids the treasure hunter Killian in his search for Dol Armaëth.</p>
<p>The game consists of various areas which are visited in a linear order. Each area consists of a multitude of screens that can be freely explored while collecting items, conversing with other persons (who also move through the area) and solving puzzles in order to progress. They mostly consist of using items on other items or persons, but there is also the occasional maze and action sequence (Killian has to perform an action while dodging enemies). When Killian dies, he can be resurrected, but loses all collected items in the process.</p>
<p>The game's specialty is its inclusion of two separate control options: The player can either move Killian with the keyboard and type commands into the parser or use a point &amp; click interface. Then the icons are chosen from a bar on the top, but because there are various different icons (besides the usual ones like take or look there are also icons for more obscure actions like kissing or eating and operational actions like saving the game), the player has to click through three separate bars. It is also possible to combine the two control methods.</p>

<p><em>Conqueror</em> is a polygonal isometric-view tank action/strategy game with an elaborate control system (emulating "real" tank controls on normal joysticks) and two-player possibilities by switching the controls to use one joystick each for gunner and driver.
The goal of the game is generally to destroy all enemy tanks on the map using a preset squad of tanks of your own. The tanks on the player's side that aren't controlled by the player act on AI, but the player-controlled tank can be switched at will via an in-game map. Alternately, the player can use that map to direct tanks to other places - but even when planning troop movements on the map, the game goes on.
To top things off, there is also a limited amount of resources allocated to the player that can be gained by destroying enemies; these resources can then be used to buy new tanks before the start of the next mission.</p>

<p>The Prince of Persia CD Collection is a re-release of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/196/prince-of-persia/">Prince of Persia</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/78/prince-of-persia-2-the-shadow-the-flame/">Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow &amp; the Flame</a>. The package contains both the Windows and Macintosh versions of both games on a single hybrid CD, plus a multi-language (English/French/German) manual for both.</p>

<p>Following success with the mail-order <a href="/search/?q=Football+Tactician">Football Tactician</a> series, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/5893/talking-birds/">Talking Birds</a> entered the mainstream with this retitled version. It's a football management game, setting you in charge of one of the teams in the top 2 English divisions of the time and giving you control over transfers, tactics and training regimes as you aim to guide your team to success. Initially you can only manage the lower teams, but if you succeed over a few seasons you will become respected enough to have a chance to get the top roles.</p>
<p>The focus is on ultra-realism, which makes it very hard to quickly transform a club's fortunes, as there is a lack of money at many of the smaller teams and attracting players is harder than in <a href="/search/?q=Premier+Manager">the Premier Manager series</a> and similar. Matches are viewed from top-down highlights, with 3 levels of detail (goals-only, highlights and kick-by-kick) offered.</p>

<p>Dizzy must rescue four of his 'Yolkfolk' (groan) chums in this game, from Cuckoo Land, Ice Land, Cloud Land and Zak's Castle. Like <a href="/search/?q=Fast+Food">Fast Food</a> it doesn't directly resemble <a href="/search/?q=Dizzy">the main series of arcade adventures, instead being a single-screen action game, resembling </a><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5386/pengo/">Pengo</a>. The basic idea is to move around a maze of blocks collecting fruit, but the twist in the style is that you push the blocks in the maze to kill or trap those enemies. After every level is completed a short bonus screen appears where more fruit can be collected. During play various other tokens are released, such as bonus points, a smart bomb and control reversal.</p>

<p>Dizzy's third adventure sees the introduction of the Yolkfolk, including Daisy, who has got lost in the fantasy world of the title. Dizzy sets off to rescue her, braving dragons, rats and alligators along the way. The lands are littered with coins, and as well as completing the main task you should aim to collect as many of these as possible. There are puzzles on most screens, involving collecting objects such as keys, food and water buckets, and using them on doors, flames and such. Unlike the first two game, dialogue boxes between Dizzy and various other characters are included, giving the game a sense of character and humor as well as guiding you through the puzzles somewhat.</p>

<p>A surreal and very original game by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/6244/geoffrey-j-crammond/">Geoff Crammond</a>.</p>
<p>The game plays out on a 3D landscape with hills and valleys made up of several levels. At the highest vantage point stands The Sentinel, a statue-like being with an energy draining stare, you begin at the lowest. "Energy" plays an important role, there's a constant amount in the game world and each object is worth a certain number of units - including you.</p>
<p>The object of each level is to absorb The Sentinel and Hyperspace to the next from his vantage point. </p>
<p>The Sentinel scans further round the landscape every few seconds - if you're caught in his gaze, or rather the square you are standing on can be seen, you'll have about 5 seconds to teleport to another location (or hit a key to teleport to a random location - which will never be higher, and may be lower than your current level) before the Sentinel begins absorbing your energy, when it reaches zero you will be destroyed. To travel a "robot hull" must be created on a visible square then teleported to, making sure you absorb your old hull to avoid losing energy. Boulders and trees can also be created, trees to block The Sentinels view and boulders can be stacked to gain higher ground. </p>
<p>There are a few other elements to the game - on later levels there will be other Sentries positioned around the landscape. If only part of you can be seen i.e. not the square you are standing on, a nearby tree can be changed into a "Meanie" which will ultimately force you to teleport. There are 9999 levels in the game but the next level number is based on the current level + how much energy you have remaining.</p>

<p>An enhancement product for the popular <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5216/jetfighter-ii-advanced-tactical-fighter/">JetFighter II</a> flight simulator that adds 125 new missions as well as the ability to fly Lockheed's F-22 Lightning Advanced Tactical Fighter.</p>

<p>A repackaging and enhancement of the popular <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=JetFighter">JetFighter III</a> combat flight simulator game. Includes the original product, the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=JetFighter">Enhanced Campaign CD</a>, plus a mission editor, new missions and additional scenery.</p>
<p>JetFighter III was somewhat revolutionary for its detailed and expansive terrain environments. While probably not quite in-depth enough for hard-core flight sim fans, JetFighter III is, like its predecessors, designed with ease-of-use in mind, making it appropriate for casual flight sim users.</p>

<p>In the future NYC has become inhospitable and depraved, with thugs lining every street waiting to pounce on ordinary civilians. Thankfully Freddy Hardest is on hand to face up to the baseball bats and knives, in a side-scrolling beat 'em up game.</p>
<p>As with any <a href="/search/?q=Dinamic">Dinamic</a> title, the difficulty level is set high. A few kicks and punches are available to you, and you have one life with energy which depletes as you get hit, but can be recharged by finding a safe space to stand still.</p>

<p>This one on one future sport combines ideas from a number of real-world competitions, most notably the schoolgirl favourite Netball. The action is viewed isometrically, so moving the joystick up moves your droid north-east, down moves south-west, and so on.</p>
<p>The aim is to score more points than your opponent in each match, and be the first to win four matches (against either a human or computer opponent), before moving up to the next difficulty level. There is a goal in the middle at each end, and the ball can be advanced by shooting it (the length of a shot is affected by pushing the joystick up or down with fire pressed) as you can't run with the ball, or hold onto it for long. The main novel idea in the game is the shaping of the pitches, which are viewed in full 3D and have bumps and big divots all around.</p>

<p>This Pac-Man inspired maze game is based upon the Tom Sawyer’s Island attraction at Disneyland.  Players maneuver Tom Sawyer along the island’s paths in his quest to gather berries.  However, Aunt Polly, Injun Joe, and after the third level, a bear, chase after Tom.  He can avoid them by ducking into escape routes such as a water wheel, a teeter-totter, a raft and two caves.  If Tom survives all five levels, the player wins.</p>

<p>A side-scrolling, jumping game in which you help Goofy climb the treacherous slopes of the Matterhorn.  Using keyboard or joystick, make Goofy climb ropes or jump to ledges, empty bobsleds or gondolas.  Jump over goats or snowmen before they push Goofy off the ledge.  At higher levels of difficulty, watch out for falling icicles or loose ledges. To win the game, collect all the flags along the way and claim the Mickey flag at the summit.</p>

<p><em>Spiritual Warfare</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Zelda">Zelda</a>-like overhead action game where you play as a soldier of God, fighting the forces of darkness in various parts of a modern city to find the armor of God, each one guarded by increasingly difficult demon bosses. When you are dire need, an angel may come down and help you, if you answer Bible questions correctly. The game will take through increasingly difficult levels of play, where in the end you will face off with Satan himself.</p>

<p>In the spirit of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris:+The+Soviet+Challenge">Tetris</a> comes <em>Wordtris</em>. Falling letters must be placed in order to form words in order to clear them away. Occasionally bombs will fall which you may use to clear away a single letter or an entire stack of them, depending on the type of bomb. The larger the words you form, the higher points you receive. If you clear enough words without filling up the screen, you move on to the next level.</p>

<p>In this game the player controls Joshua, the leader of the Jewish people after the death of Moses. Joshua must lead the Israelites into the Promised Land (Canaan), but there are many puzzles and obstacles that stand in his way - falling rocks, hostile soldiers and other things. Using his horn and other special weapons to defeat enemies, Joshua will face some of the nations mentioned in the Bible, such as the Hitties, the Amorites, the Gibeonites, and the Gezerites.</p>

<p><em>Black Monday</em> is a stock market simulation for one to six players. The goal is to earn as much money as possible by the end of ten turns. On each turn you will have the option of buying and selling stocks. The main screen where you can buy or sell will show a list of stocks available, along with their price information and how many you own. Graphs are also available to show the history of a stock throughout the game in order to aid in making decisions. After each player has a turn buying and selling, the stock market closes for the night. When it opens again, you will see a news ticker summarizing the changes to stock prices and the players will again have an opportunity to buy or sell (this process repeats until the end of the game when the winner is determined). Although the price changes to stocks are random, you can attempt to influence the price somewhat by buying or selling large quantities of a stock. If a stock is doing very well, you may earn dividends or the stock may split. If you get into trouble, you can also visit the bank and take out a loan.</p>

<p><em>Juggles' Butterfly</em> is an educational game for children ages 3-6. The game includes a keyboard template with two blue lines which will divide the keyboard into four sections. During the game you will be asked to press keys which are located above, below, to the left, or to the right of the blue lines that are placed on the keyboard. With a correct answer colored shapes will appear on the screen. Afterwards there is a free form mode where you can 'create' an animated picture; pressing a key on the corresponding section of the keyboard will draw a section of either a rainbow, butterfly, or windmill or change the colors that are used once the image is complete.</p>

<p>Ocean's second wrestling game is tag-team-based, taking the player through four fights around major European cities. The player assembles a two-man team from Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Bret 'Hitman' Hart and Macho Man Randy Savage.</p>
<p>Combat takes place both in and out of the ring, although a wrestler can't spend more than ten seconds at a time outside the ring. Once opponents are stunned, it becomes possible to throw them, which inflicts real damage to their energy bar. Many combination moves are available, including jumping off the ropes and landing on an opponent to pin him.</p>

<p>Of all the mundane tasks which've been turned into action-packed games, bug-repelling must be up there with being a <a href="/search/?q=Paperboy">Paper Boy</a> or a <a href="/search/?q=Trashman">Trashman</a>. These aren't average bugs; Chicago is under siege from mutated insects, rats and even toy tanks.</p>
<p>You'll have to work through seven houses, each of which has the typical rooms. You control a seemingly-dismembered hand, which must deal with the hordes as they come towards it, into the screen. They can be shot, thumped, or squashed depending on their type. To clear a room you must kill a certain number of creatures in each of the vertically-divided 'lanes' of the room - this causes squares on the ground to change colour.</p>

<p><em>Wreckers</em> is an isometric sci-fi action game with strategy elements.</p>
<p>Robotic droids roll quietly through the corridors of space station Beacon 04523N, automated computers calculate routes for interstellar traffic. Three human officers sleep in cryogenic tanks, awakened only for routine system checks – or in case of an emergency. With a hum, the cryogenic control springs on-line as Beacon’s long-range sensors detect incoming lifeforms.</p>
<p>Controlling one of the on-board officers, the player has to defend the station against swarms of plasmodian spores (the “Wreckers”) showering down on Beacon and seeping into its four sections. While the spores approach, they can be sucked out of space with a gigantic hoover-like space hose. Once they settle onto the stations hull, jump into the space suit and spray infected areas with a cleansing agent. Undetected spores will seep into the station’s corridors, where the protagonist must hunt them down with a plasma shots and avoid being shot in return.</p>
<p>In addition, up to ten droids are under the player's indirect control. Ranging from cleaners to fighters to engineers, these automatons will act independently, but can be sent to key locations within the station -- i.e. infected areas. As the officer gains experience through battles, he will be promoted to higher ranks, enabling him to construct more efficient fighter robots in the station’s droid factory.</p>
<p>Since plasmodians running rampant in the station will cause system malfunctions. The main goal in such cases is to clear infections quickly and make sure that Beacon continues to function properly. To make things worse, a self-destruct mechanism will detonate the station in sixty minutes unless all signs of spore activity cease.</p>

<p>With 8 circuits to race on against 2 opponents (one of which can also be human-controlled), this racing game is viewed from above and resembles <a href="/search/?q=Super+Sprint">Super Sprint</a> and early budget-price imitations such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12622/grand-prix-simulator/">Grand Prix Simulator</a>. Tracks can be raced in the wet, dry or on ice - don't forget to alter the tyre selection to suit. Contact with other cars weakens these tyres and can eventually cause punctures. Each race is of a varying number of laps depending on the track's length and complexity. Sound effects have been sampled, giving the game a realistic sound unusual at the time.</p>

<p>Malta Storm is an simulation of the battle for the Mediterranean that took place between December 1941 and August 1942. It's a turn based war game that's entirely text based. Each turn is three weeks long and for each you'll have to make decisions on both strategic and operational plans. In the strategic part you set up priorities, and in the operational part you give orders to the different groups. After a turn you'll get intelligence to help you with your strategies. You can play as both axis and allies.</p>

<p>Application software experts <a href="/search/?q=PC+Globe">PC Globe Inc.</a> made an advance into the gaming sector in the early 90’s within their field of expertise: geography. With a back catalog of several installments of the then-leading world atlas and almanac software, <em>PC Globe</em>, the company turned snippets of country-specific info into an educational game that mixed two-player “Identify that place” strategy with a “Get to know the globe” learning effect – can you say <a href="/search/?q=Carmen+Sandiego">Carmen Sandiego</a>?</p>
<p>As the sinister Otto von Slinkenrat tries to pocket the world’s treasures in his private collection, renowned adventurer Bush Buck sets out to find and secure the valuable objects for posterity. In a race around the globe, you and an opponent travel back and forth between 206 cities in 175 countries in search for clues to the treasures’ whereabouts. Cities are connected by a network of plane routes; players take turns in jetting from one destination to the next. On each visit to a city, you learn some background info – e.g. about landmarks, geography, culture.</p>
<p>Learning to place countries and cities on the globe is essential to finding the treasures, which are all linked to a specific place on Earth. If you know that a Samisen is a Japanese musical instrument, for example, you can make your way directly to Tokyo; if not, a set of clues that you collect on your travels will point out features of the target country and town which help narrow down your options – e.g. “It’s an island country”, “It’s in East Asia” etc. The first player to visit the target town collects the treasure and has to return it to his home base for a points reward.</p>
<p>For each game, the computer selects 15 out of 400 possible objects; if all are found or if both players run out of plane tickets (each flight costs one ticket), the game ends and whoever has amassed the most points wins. Three difficulty levels increase the AI strength and reduce helpful hints, making <em>Bush Buck</em> a challenge even for experienced globe trotters.</p>

<p><em>Breach</em> is a turn-based tactical squad combat game. It introduces team-oriented missions, RPG-style squad leader development and a scenario builder.</p>
<p>In the ten missions supplied with the retail version (and potentially infinitely more created with the included scenario builder), a squad of usually five space marines under the command of a squad leader embarks on sci-fi missions that involve hostage rescue, data retrieval or simply elimination of opponents. Squad members advance and act in turn on basis of a movement point system. </p>
<p>The multi-level maps consist of outside terrain and structures with several stories, connected by lifts, filled with enemies and objects. Squad members can find and use weapons such as grenades, rockets or detonation packs and tools such as Medikits, scanners or shields.</p>
<p>In an unique twist, the squad leader advances from mission to mission (while the rest of the team is always new), improving his basic stats with each successfully completed assignment, based on his performance. Only experienced leaders may attempt STAR-rated scenarios. If the squad leader gets killed, he is lost forever: the game deletes the corresponding leader file.</p>

<p>Save the world with Bazooka Sue, the only half-female, half-swine protagonist besides Miss Piggy.
Spoil the evil plans of mad scientist Dr. Bruth and become a local hero in Swamp Rock, a small town in the swamps of Lousiana.</p>
<p>If you know any of the classic LucasArts point and click adventures, you'll have a very good idea about the gameplay in Bazooka Sue.</p>
<p>Only released in German language.</p>

<p><em>The notorious Dr. Thanatopsis Dread, to lend credibility to his bid for world domination, has employed devious means to convince the world that grand American accomplishments (1492-1905) are actually the work of his distinguished ancestors. The mysterious Benefactor has invited YOU! to join a crack team of whiz kids in his subterranean lab at Sea Cliff Manor to help restore the historical record to the (more-or-less) legitimacy we know today.</em></p>
<p>Playing much like an enhanced remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6564/where-in-time-is-carmen-sandiego/">Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?</a>, this game will see you wearing a rut in the virtual floor of Sea Cliff Manor, beating paths between Amanda's room (with its TimeLine machine, to establish <em>when</em>s), Josh's chamber (featuring the GeoFax, to get a better sense of <em>where</em>), and the time-traveling booth of a robot cat, who conducts and then projects interviews gotten back in the timestream to help get a fix on the biographical information regarding <em>who</em> was at the heart of the contentious event.</p>
<p>The game features abundant in-game help, lavish production values, compelling cut-scenes and scores of easter eggs.</p>

<p>You are Vietnam war veteran Bret Conrad, who becomes an adventurer. Go everywhere on the world, find gold, walk in to the jungle... One day, you receive an old map about the lost city of Quetzacotl, and its cache of gold. You prepare your bag, gun, knife and let's go to the adventure !</p>
<p>In gameplay <em>Gold of the Aztecs</em> is similar to <a href="/search/?q=Barbarian">Psygnosis' Barbarian</a>, and you must go screen by screen to finish it. Over 140 main character movements are included. There are traps at each screen like stones or dangerous bridge.</p>

<p><em>Tournament Tennis</em> is an early tennis game featuring or even creating many conventions that would become standard features in later tennis simulations. Matches can be played at quarter-final, semi-final or final level—winning at one level automatically moves the player to the next one. They can last for 3 or 5 sets, with a player requiring a 2-game lead to win a set, though a tie-break comes in at 6–6 in all but the final set.</p>
<p>The view is pseudo-3D, from above the court, and features a shadow on the ball to give its motion a more realistic appearance and make it easier to judge the ball's height. Spectators turn their heads to view the action, and ball boys run on to the court to retrieve dead balls. Shot speed, direction and spin can all be applied, and both forehand and backhand strokes are available.</p>

<p>In the future, a series of nuclear disasters have devastated the Earth and forced it into an orbit nearer the Sun. The increased temperatures have formed vast deserts and transmogrified the planet into a barren wasteland. All hope seems lost for humanity until the discovery of  a metal ore that seems to protect against the Sun's heat and radiation. Only one problem. The only place where the ore can be tested in time to save them is within the Sun itself. </p>
<p>As James Mariner, Earth's selected test pilot, it is up to you to deploy a probe containing the ore into the Sun's corona and acquire the necessary data. However, things don't always go as planned...</p>

<p>The Skweeks lived in harmony for centuries, being a naturally peaceful peoples, until Pitark arrived. He ruined their bright pink land by removing the colour, and it was only after he died that they had the opportunity to clean the land up. Your job is to travel through the 99 continents and clean each one in sequence.</p>
<p>Skweek can move in each of the four compass directions, and is armed with a simple weapon, whose shots rebound around before they hit one of Pitark's minions, the Schnoreuls - contact with which is instantly fatal. Some squares contain arrows which force you in a particular direction, while there are also blockades to avoid. Bomb squares blow up surrounding squares but give you time to move away from them as they do this, while Shortcut squares allow you to move to another teleport-type square by pushing the joystick in its direction.</p>

<p>You are playing a superhero called Captain Bible.  You're armed only with your faith and knowledge of scriptures against the Cyber liars.  </p>
<p>Your character wanders around mazes, confronting enemies and disrupting their lies with matching scriptures from the bible.  You dodge electrical fields and maintain your faith to stay alive.</p>

<p>The premise behind this game is that of a western,  but set in the future,  and in space. There is a plot but the gameplay focuses on fast 'n' furious arcade action. You are a Star Ranger and it's your duty to protect the human frontier from alien attack.</p>
<p>You and your wingman must hyperspace between points to protect bases and civilian ships,  while managing these conflicts you must also make a pitstop if your ship becomes to damaged,  energy too low or to load up with missiles</p>

<p>This BreakOut clone has nudity elements. As always you have to dodge the ball to break the wall, but this time you control two paddles symmetric one to another. The ball may exit the field not only from one side but from each of four sides. Finishing the level, you are allowed to see a nude girl from a Polish magazine. But nudity isn't progressive from level to level and is always limited to topless. </p>

<p>Britt Alcroft's train-based characters (famously voiced by Ringo Starr) were brought to several computer games, and this is perhaps the most unusual, simplifying the game of pinball to aim it at younger players. Four different tables are included, based loosely around Thomas, James, Percy and Toby. Up to 8 players can take it in turns, and there are 3 skill levels and a high score table. </p>
<p>The tables vary in their complexity and difficulty; Thomas' is very basic in its design, while the others (especially Toby's) have more advanced ramps and combos. Full screen and scrolling view modes are available, and the game's feel is comparable to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pinball+Dreams">the Pinball Dreams series</a>, which is unsurprising as Spidersoft did <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pinball+Mania">Pinball Mania</a> themselves.</p>

<p>This editing system for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9417/premier-manager-3/">Premier Manager 3</a> allows you to edit almost every aspect of the default database. You can change the names and abilities of each player, and transfer them to other teams. You can choose which divisions each club starts in, and can manage any of these, rather than having to start from the Conference league. You can even insert European teams to create a Superleague-type setup. The length of time particular injuries keep a player out for can be changed, as can the points system of the league. Once you've saved the changes and started the edited game, you can load it back into the Multi-Edit System and make further changes.</p>

<p>This is a compilation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9417/premier-manager-3/">Premier Manager 3</a> and its <a href="/search/?q=Premier+Multo-Edit">Multi-Edit Construction set</a>. PM3 has been updated to 1995-1996 season data, with promoted and relegated teams moved divisions and player transfers activated - this means that previous saved games aren't compatible.</p>

<p>The Alpha 2 research colony on Xelos has been invaded by aliens, wiping out the crew and laying 167 of their eggs, all waiting to hatch into a lethal alien infestation. Superhero Kal Solar is the only one who can prevent a catastrophe, and that's where you come in.</p>
<p>The game is viewed in 3D from Solar's perspective, with a full HUD built into his helmet showing direction, health and supplies. Other HUDs also allow you to check whether the current air is breathable (you have limited oxygen), as well as one built into your Jetpack.</p>
<p>There are two movement modes, one of which allows you to pan the view and the other allows you to shoot. Objects have to be picked up and used, computers operated, and an infra-red kit located and used. To win the game you will have to destroy all the eggs, and then shut the compound down and escape in time.</p>

<p><em>Oligopoly</em> is a turn based strategy game for two to six players which is similar to the board game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Monopoly">Monopoly</a>. The object of the game is to build up your business empire and become the richest player while other players are forced to either declare bankruptcy or resign. The game world consists of 52 different countries, each of which contains one company. You begin the game with 100 million dollars, and need to travel around the world to buy companies. </p>
<p>Each turn begins in the board room, and then you will be randomly sent to one of the countries. If the company there hasn't been bought yet, you have the option to purchase it, but if another player already owns it you will have pay them a profit for landing there. In addition to landing on a property, you also have other options on each turn: you can invest in companies you own (this increases their profits), borrow money, pay back money, sell companies, make deals with other players, or even resign if there is no hope of winning. Each turn is equivalent to roughly a months time.</p>
<p>Each of the companies available is part of a different industry (chemicals, manufacturing, electronics, and textiles). In addition to building plants, you may also increase your companies profits by building vertical monopolies. To obtain a vertical monopoly, you must own three companies, one in each area of a particular industry (for example, a vertical monopoly in the electronics industry requires that you own companies in copper mining, semiconductors, and computers). Their is also a fifth industry which is owned by the computer and cannot be bought by players: shipping. Since the companies owned are located in different countries, each player will need to pay shipping costs every quarter (every three turns). A players shipping costs are determined by the number of companies owned, their locations, and what industries they are a part of. </p>
<p>From time to time, a random event may occur on a players turn which can help or hinder progress. Natural disasters can destroy factories, workers may strike, you may have a chance to gamble at a casino, you may take a vacation (and lose a turn!), you may receive a grant from Washington D.C., or you may become ill are some of the events that can occur.</p>

<p>What happens when a computer has no programming? What if there is nothing stopping it from using its systems to do whatever it wants? It would probably be something like BAD_MACHINE.</p>
<p>The game deviates from traditional interactive fiction in the fact that you see from the perspective of a robot. Literally. Everything you see is from the exact perspective of a modern, totally inhuman computer. That means you don't get any rational description of what you see. It's all in code. To better describe it, here is an exact quote from the game:</p>
<p>"Dir ALT{ER}DDDisplace-: 2 [east -&gt; north]  </p>
<p>Reclamation Sector (1)  </p>
<p>(clear*space) open -&gt; bare floor. (insersection / entrance?) line delimiter cross=north: wider space. south: rec. seccttoor.  </p>
<p>Sector-&gt;Content_list: a disabled climber-class machine  </p>
<p>Salvager-class machine is here.  </p>
<p>Salvager #231 :: Mover #005 | [Salvager-class machine * Serial 14-231 * Power: 250 * GOOD MACHINE]  </p>
<p>Salvager #231 detach()e()s leg {type #0274} frOm disabled climber-class machine  </p>
<p>Salvager #231 picks the leg {type #0274} up."</p>
<p>Now, with nothing but a broken compass, a corrupted database, and a dangerously low level of compliance, you must guide Mover #005 to safety...wherever that may be.</p>
<p>BAD_MACHINE is made with TADS.</p>

<p><em>Remote Control</em> is based on the MTV quiz show of the same name. During the game three contestants (computer or human controlled) compete by answering questions about various TV shows, movies, characters, or actors/actresses. There are two rounds of gameplay followed by a third "think real fast" round. </p>
<p>In the first two rounds of gameplay the gameboard consists of a giant TV with nine channels; one of the players chooses a channel (representing a particular category) revealing a question; the first player to buzz in and provide the correct answer earns points. The are a variety of categories available (some of these are "video high", "cop shows", "saturday night live", "soap operas", and many more) which will vary from game to game. Sometimes a surprise channel may appear which doesn't have a question, but awards or removes points from a player. These rounds end when all of the supplied questions have been exhausted. Near the end of the second round, the lowest scoring player is eliminated from the game leaving two players for the final round.</p>
<p>The final "think real fast" round lasts for thirty seconds; during this time the players need to answer as many short answer questions as possible to earn points. At the end of this round the player with the most points wins the game.</p>

<p>Guimo is a 2D platform game featuring several stages full of action. The story is situated in a parallel world called "Bitland", the Earth-brother world where inhabitants are under terrible danger after the invasion of Necterion and his army. To restore harmony between the two worlds, the best trained and fearless sentinel (entities responsible for the dimensional passage between both worlds) is ready under your command: GUIMO!</p>
<p>The game also offers many innovative features for this epoch (1997): enemy AI, Eggy robots (auxiliar pals!), digital music, etc.</p>

<p>One of the education games aimed for older elementary students, from The Learning Company's classic Super Solver's series.</p>
<p>The Master of Mischief is up to his old tricks and now is trying to take over the Shady Glen TV Station, with the help from his robot Tele. Now the Super Solver must move around the TV Station catching Tele and avoiding the discs Tele tosses at you and hot wire, with a remote control and use your Math skills to get clues of where The Master of Mischief is hiding.</p>

<p>A piece of hyperfiction masquerading as a rare romantic text adventure game about a big date with what <em>could</em> be Mr. Right. Choose-your-own-adventure interaction spins the customized player along whimsical tangents but ultimately all plot forks either lead to dead ends or rejoin the fixed-rail central narrative. Manic and wacky energy drive even the second chances resulting from the selection of obviously wrong choices, all while skewering conventions of the romance genre.</p>

<p><em>Animal Quest</em> is an educational game for all ages. Players become animals in four different game groups with the following titles: Forest Animals, Ocean Animals, Jungle Animals, and Young Lion.</p>
<p>The game is played on a grid field on which the animals, the environment and other obstacles are randomly placed. The player's goal is to catch its prey (other animals or plants). Each animal has its own difficulty level; a prey animal has a harder time than a lion. The game features detailed information about the animals.</p>

<p><em>Dinosaur Predators</em> is a shareware educational game for all ages. In this game players get to play as prehistoric creatures and venture out to catch their prey. The game is divided into four games: "Jurassic Dinosaurs," "Terror in the Swamp," "Oviraptor Egg Thief," and "Ice Age Mammals." During the game players advance their scores by answering questions on geologic life.</p>

<p><em>Bert and the Snake</em> is a clone of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Q+Bert">Q*Bert</a>. Your character must jump on a grid of blocks arranged in a pyramid shape, avoiding the snake and other characters that randomly appear. A successful jump changes that block's color. When you have hit all of the blocks on your current pyramid, you advance to the next level. Each level becomes increasingly difficult as the speed increases and more baddies are added into the mix. A high score table is included.</p>

<p>Tynesoft was almost certainly the first developer to try a first-person pinball game with this ambitious program. Up to four players could join in, including 2 computer players to show you how it's done. The game can be played from a more traditional overhead-view mode, which makes it easier to tell where the bumpers are in relation to the flippers and is recommended for learning the game. Most of those bumpers are single-colour and arranged in a straightforward pattern. There are three different gameplay speeds and 2 possible levels of ball bounce.</p>

<p><em>Reader Rabbit 2</em> is a game in the award winning Reader Rabbit series by The Learning Company. When the town of Word-Ville is running out of words Reader Rabbit and his mouse friend Matt try to collect words from four different activities: Vowel Pond, Word Mine, Word Patch and Alphabet Dance. Children ages 6-8 learn about Phonics, Letter Recognition and Alphabetizing skills.</p>

<p>Setting the scene for a shoot-'em-up game is always a stiff proposition and never anywhere more so than here: due to hitherto unknown properties of hamster urine leeching into the water supply, humanity is rendered telepathic and besieged by enormous symbols of repressed desire and Freudian hang-ups.</p>
<p>Proving once again that nothing is less sexy than a sexuality-themed video game, this crude premise is intended to explain why you, the player, are in charge of eliminating an army of "Bouncing Birth-Control Pills", "Bibles (Straight from the South)", "AIDS Virii" (a cutting-edge inclusion at the game's release), and, yes, the eponymous lactating "Astro Tits", with the assistance of a (chew on this, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11903/zombie-nation/">Zombie Nation</a>) ghoulishly disembodied <em>phallus</em>. (Yes, by shooting wriggling spermatozoa (with eyes!) into them.) All in front of stunning 4-colour CGA renditions of <a href="/search/?q=Moon+Patrol">Moon Patrol</a>-style sci-fi lunar landscapes!</p>

</ul>

<p>Hypothesizing what sorts of adventures might be got up to in <a href="/search/?q=Bomberman">Bomberman</a>'s pants, this game provides some similar gameplay in a cartoony "adult" style -- mobile phalluses hobble around on their stubbly little testicles, collecting sex-themed bonuses (condoms for protection against STDs, jockey shorts to boost speed) and avoiding environmental hazards (viruses, AIDS, and the dreaded snapping-teeth-of-inexpertly-performed-fellation).</p>
<p>The player's "shot" can be used to temporarily neutralise enemies, open gaps in walls (revealing in the background a picture of a naked lady), or stun competitors in the multiplayer (up to 4 players) game. Once enough bonuses have been collected, doff a condom and hop into the sack with the blonde in the middle of the screen. Level layouts vary, but basic gameplay (and even the cheesecake in the background) remains much the same through 50 levels.</p>
<p>The multiplayer game features an additional surreal mini-game, where the alpha phalli prowl the screen's periphery around a model who seems to love nothing more than to have select garments of her clothing pawed by stretching penises with grasping hands inexplicably appearing at their ends -- you've never seen anything quite like it.</p>

<p>The Big Top O' Fun circus is in deep trouble: due tonight is the payment of a $10.000 loan to the Big Greedy Bank. The evening's performance must bring in that money or the circus will be seized. The bank does not play fair, though: they send the evil clown Fiendish Freddy to sabotage the acts.</p>
<p>The performance consists of six different events. There is a practice mode for single events, and up to five players can compete in the full game, but must reach the $10.000 on their own, not together. The money is awarded by a jury after each act.</p>
<p>The acts are:</p>
<ul>
<li>High Diving: Horace the High Diver must jump from a platform and land on a target down below. While falling, Horace must be kept spinning by moving the joystick while at the same time staying over the target. Once he is spinning fast enough, he must perform a pose indicated on the screen by pulling the joystick in a certain direction, after which a new pose is required, continuing until Horace hits the target (or the ground). If completed successfully, the next dive begins from a higher platform, giving Horace more time to perform the poses, while the target gets consecutively smaller. Money is awarded for performing poses if the target is hit. Freddy comes into play if Horace doesn't make a pose in time: he blows Horace off course with a giant fan.</li>
<li>Juggling: Jeffy Joe drives across the arena on a unicycle and must catch and juggle items thrown to him by his seal assistant. The act ends successfully after a time limit is up and fails if Joe drops five items. Joe must be maneuvered so that the items land in his outstretched hands. Pushing fire throws the item in his left hand and moves the items in the right hand to the left. In higher levels, a baby comes into play which Joe must throw in such a way that it lands in a carriage. Freddy tries to sabotage the act by distracting the seal and then throwing dangerous items like bombs and missiles. If either is dropped, the act is over. Bombs however can be thrown back to Freddy.</li>
<li>Trapeze: Finola must cross the big top by swinging on bars. She gains momentum through joystick moves and must then jump to the next bar by hitting fire at the correct moment. After a while, Finola must also maneuver through obstacles like paper targets and flaming hoops, which sometimes bob up and down. If Finola takes too long hanging on a bar without going forward, Freddy will arrive flying via helicopter blades and cut the ropes.</li>
<li>Knife Throw: Knancy Knife has been blindfolded and strapped to a rotating wheel along with a number of balloons. There is a time limit and a limited number of knives to throw. The goal is of course to pop all the balloons without hurting Knancy. If she is hit, she screams out and several knives are removed from the stock. Freddy tries to sabotage the act by occasionally throwing smoke bombs for confusion.</li>
<li>Tightrope: Tony Tiptoe tries to cross the tent on a tightrope. He is moved forward by pushing up on the joystick. He will soon begin to lose his balance and must be put back straight by corrective joystick movements to the left or right. If his balance gets really off, his balance pole turns red and he screams out "Whoa". If he remains in this position for more than a second, he falls off and it's over. Freddy has several tricks up his sleeve in this act: if Tony takes too long too cross, he pulls out a cannon and blasts him out of the way. In later levels, he flies around the tent and tries to push Tony off or throws saw blades at him. These can be deflected with the pole by pressing fire.</li>
<li>Cannonball: Fernando, the Human Cannonball climbs into a cannon to be shot across the big top and hopefully land on his target. His assistant Lisa loads the cannon with a random amount of gun powder, which determines the thrust. Afterwards, the target must be placed somewhere along the tent, moving it closer or farther away depending on the amount of gun powder loaded. Once that is done, Lisa lights the fuse and the cannon starts rotating. It must be stopped at the right angle by pushing fire, which launches Fernando, hopefully towards the target and not the ground. Freddy comes into play when placing the target. Taking too long allows Freddy to put a giant cork into the cannon, with explosive results.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Chaos at the Carnival</em> is a collection of six arcade mini-games.</p>
<p>Miss Piggy has been "pignapped" by the sinister Dr. Grump; her Muppet friends come to the rescue. Kermit, Gonzo, Fozzie and three other characters from the children's TV show dash into Grump's mysterious fun fair in search for their pink companion. They must brave five rides in succession in order to take on the Grumpasaurus in the final carnival confrontation.* Tunnel of Love: Avoid objects in the waterway</p>
<ul>
<li>Duck Hunt: Hit passing ducks with tomatoes</li>
<li>Space Ride: Land a spaceship in the correct dock using rocket blasts</li>
<li>Bumper Cars: Race around the track and avoid crashing into obstacles</li>
<li>Funhouse: Find a way through a small maze filled with guard dogs</li>
<li>Battle of the Grumpasaurus: Tickle the Grumpasaurus so that he laughs himself silly</li>
</ul>
<p>The C-64, Apple II and DOS versions of <em>Chaos at the Carnival</em> support two players, taking turns.</p>
<p>The versions for the four platforms differ strongly; see the trivia section for details.</p>

<p><em>Terminal Terror</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1866/lethal-tender/">Lethal Tender</a>. Once again you step in the shoes of super spy/army-of-one hero Nick Hunter and this time around your mission is to take back into custody the international terrorist Bruno Riggs who has escaped jail thanks to the aid of a new terrorist cell that has some nasty plans in store for the world.</p>
<p>Gameplay evolves from the straightforward Doom-cloned FPS action of the original and introduces a lot of innovative features that were surprisingly ahead of it's day for a FPS, such as branching and optional missions, stealth-oriented sequences which make use of non-lethal weapons and a stealth meter (named as the "profile") which allow you to avoid detection based on your current speed, readied weapon, etc.</p>
<p>Combat also incorporates a power bar which depletes the longer you keep firing and adds a primitive but effective hit-detection system which inflicts different types of effects on your character depending on where he is hit (damaged legs slow you down or make your character turn towards a certain direction when moving as if he were limping, damaged arms affect your aim, damaged eyes blur your vision, etc.).
The game also incorporates an inventory/equipment bar for item management and throws civilians and allies into the mix, which will turn on you or cost you mission objectives if you shoot them or fail to protect them.</p>

<p>Boxer Rebellion is a puzzle game with a bit of action. The game is played on a board with several boxes defined by lines. You control a character that can only walk on those lines. The objective is to travel completely around each box.</p>
<p>The problem here - and what brings some action to the game - is that you have opposition. Another character is also moving along the lines and you'll lose if it touches you.</p>
<p>The game features 9 levels. In the first 5 you have to avoid only one enemy. The last 4 are harder, as there are two enemy characters moving around trying to get you.</p>
<p>Besides simply running away from them, there are two other ways to escape, but you'll lose points if you use them. First, you can jump to another place in the board. Second, you can cut temporarily the line behind you, making it impossible for your enemies to catch you from that direction.</p>
<p>Each box has a number inside. Those are the points you win when that box is "captured". You also gain points by completing levels depending on the time you took. The faster you are, the more you win.</p>
<p>You can play Boxer Rebellion with the keyboard or the joystick - one of the first games supporting the latter.</p>

<p>Maze Wars is a strange cross between Wolfenstein 3D and Pacman. You navigate around a 3D maze, shooting and running from enemies that are represented by wireframe pyramids. Once all enemies are dead you can exit the maze and move on to the next one. If you run out of ammo you lose. If you bump into an enemy you lose. If you run out time you also lose. </p>
<p>There are 11 progressively harder mazes to play through. The game also allows you to modify color of the walls and enemies, depending on your preference.</p>

<p>As the name suggests, this arcade conversion updates the basic <a href="/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a> gameplay. That means to say that the main gameplay consists of flying through single-screen wrap-around levels shooting at rocks, which split into smaller rocks when hit, eventually becoming small enough to disappear. </p>
<p>In this case the Asteroids are protecting Mukor, an evil being who is poisoning planets under the Colonising Corp’s control.
Each level is split into either 9 or 16 sub-levels, which are chosen through a square in which any remaining level which is adjacent to the last level completed can be selected. There are 3 different ships (Speeder, Fighter and Warrior), which can be switched between at any time. Power-ups (including improved weapons, shield recharges and a faster thrust) can be collected by flying into them.</p>

<p>Mindbender uses similar gameplay principles to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=">Deflektor</a>, which means that you have indirect control over a beam of light. On each of the 50 levels you must guide it from a starting point to an ending point, taking out all the enemies along the way. Rotating each of the many mirrors on the level to send the beam onto the points the enemies hover over does this – reaching many of them will involve several attempts at finding the right combination of angles. Rotating barriers, light bulb switches and locked sections must all be taken into account, but there are also magic balloons later on. All this must be done within a time limit, and directing the beam back into itself causes overloads and must be avoided, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=">Tron</a>-style.</p>

<p><em>Tiger Road</em> is a beat 'em up in which you (as Lee Wong) must rescue the village children from the evil Ryo Ken Oh. Many levels are horizontally scrolling, although with high ledges to jump onto and follow for a slightly different path. Magic urns containing improved weapons appear frequently. Most enemies are easy to attack and only need one hit to kill, although they come at you in large hordes. Once you get to the indoor sections you will find big enemies with the ability to kill you with one hit, in sections set on multiple levels complete with stairways.</p>

<p>Thunderchopper puts you in a Hughes 530 MG Defender helicopter, and offers several modes of play. First is training, intended to simulate the movement and physics of the real chopper. Next are rescue and combat missions, which test your perception, precision, and reflexes. For further challenges, there are finally sea rescue and armed escort missions. Each mode has three levels of difficulty. You have a limited selection of guns and missiles for combat, and an onboard computer guides you through missions.</p>
<p>If you get bored with the game scenery, you can load <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Flight+Simulator+Scenery+Add-ons">scenery disks from subLOGIC's Flight Simulator series</a>.</p>

<p>Flight simulation specialists Digital Integration turned their attention to helicopter flight in this recreation of the AH-64 Apache. All the controls are realistically simulated, so the airspeed is dependent on the height of the vehicle, and you can move horizontally using the rudder option as well as rolling left and right. If using a Sinclair joystick interface you can use both ports to have all these controls accessible on dual joysticks, just like the real thing. Either way, a full instrument panel allows monitoring of these.</p>
<p>You are armed with cannons, rockets and anti-tank missiles, each of which has its target set up independently, but only one can be loaded at once. Flight options include day/night, clear/cloudy and air turbulence on/off, allowing beginners and experts to find a suitable setting. Scenery includes trees, mountains and pylons, while enemy targets include helicopters, turrets and tanks.</p>

<p>Call to Arms is a militaristic turn based strategy game with a gameplay similar to that of board games. You simply control your army by moving your forces from region to region, engaging the enemy units at the destination. The objective is to occupy all the regions of the map.</p>
<p>There are two scenarios (maps) available in the game: Europe 1942 and Scotland 1750. There can be from 2 to 4 factions in a game, each one controlled either by a human player or the CPU. Every faction must fight against all others, to the bitter end.</p>

<p><em>5 Pack Limited Edition</em> is a compilation, which contains, as the title suggests, five games: four adventures and a simulation.</p>

</ul>

<p><em>Magic Crayon</em> is a children's coloring book game where you get to color more than 30 pictures. You can color in four different parts: Shading, Cartoon Critters, Coloring Book and Learning color. </p>
<p>In Shading you look at a picture of a animal or plant and try to see if you can find it by coloring the background made with a lot of holes. The other modes allow playing and coloring freely.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/1985/rod-hyde/">Rod Hyde</a> was always determined to produce the most realistic and advanced flight simulations ever, and this early attempt at recreating the Harrier is an example of that. There are 3 skill levels, as well as two practice modes - one for the rudiments of flight and the other for combat. The action-centered nature of the title means that it can be seen as an advanced shoot 'em up rather than a pukka flight simulator.</p>
<p>Acquiring a lock on enemy planes and tanks is made easier by the advanced targeting technology of the planes, and escaping enemy fire is aided by the vectored thrust system. Shooting out the tanks clears ground space to set up your own bases, which must then be defended. VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) is correctly implemented, although more traditional horizontal take-offs should be used when space permits. The full range of weapons are provided; experience will tell you which to use in which situations, based on enemy volume and range.</p>

<p>Ocean presents in association with Pringle of Scotland an international open golfing experience. The game features many and varied forms of golf including skins, foursomes, matchplay, strokeplay, practice and fourball with the action taking place over a wide variety of terrain and locations. All of the expected levels of difficulty are also available starting of as an amateur, working through to professional standard and for the few amongst us even master level. The landscape is realistically portrayed in real-time 3D, with bird's eye tracking shots of your strokes giving the player the full story on each and every shot allowing the player to get a better understanding of each course. Also included is the ability to take your character and shot statistics with you on a floppy disc around to your friend's house, invaluable if you want to start off with the correct handicap.</p>

<p>One day, Fred Fluke, owner of Three-Miles-Inland nuclear plant arrives at work to find that one of the plant's senior technicians, fed up with being paid minimum wage, has finally snapped and set the nuclear reactor to self-destruct. Fluke has only 30 minutes to make it to the control room and avert a disaster.</p>
<p>In Heavy Water Jogger, you, of course, play Fred Fluke himself, the man tasked with saving the town. Beginning at the entrance to the nuclear plant, you must make your way through the maze-like building to the control room at the center.</p>
<p>Your task would be hard enough if you only had to navigate the maze, but on top of that, the plant's V7734 model security robots have gone haywire, and if they catch you, they'll zap you back to the beginning of the maze.</p>
<p>Heavy Water Jogger is a game where you can't lose. Even if you run out of health or time, the game will simply pretend the whole thing never happened, and start over from the beginning. (For this reason, the game also doesn't allow you to save your game at any point.) The game is designed to be intentionally frustrating, often sending you back to start from scratch but never actually ending until you win.</p>

<p>This pack includes the World War 1 flight simulation <a href="/search/?q=Red+Baron">Red Baron</a> and its <a href="/search/?q=Red+Mission">mission builder</a>. The CD also features an AVI video of the then-forthcoming <a href="/search/?q=Red+Baron+2">sequel</a>.</p>
<p>While this is a DOS game, the CD has been set up to install the game under Windows with the advice to run under DOS if there are any problems. The mission builder is not integrated into the menu of the main game, it is installed as a separate .exe file.</p>

<p>Motorbike Madness views downhill racing from an isometric <a href="/search/?q=Marble+Madness">Marble Madness</a>-influenced perspective. You must reach the bottom within the time limit, remaining within the track boundaries and avoiding hazards including water, logs and stationary cars. The faster you complete the course, the more prize money you receive. Repairs to any damage to the bike (incurred by contact with the aforementioned hazards) must be paid for from this, but the rest can be spent on upgrades. The controls are rotational, with the fire button or space used for wheelies.</p>

<p><em>Super-VGA Harrier</em> is an upgraded version of <a href="/search/?q=AV8B+Harrier+Assault">AV-8B Harrier Assault</a>, but modified to use SVGA resolution (640x480), otherwise, the game is identical. You lead a marine expeditionary force trying to occupy West Timor. At your command is a full Amphibious Assault Group, including ships, helicopters, Harriers, landing crafts, and more. The campaign is full real-time and you can play only as the commander if you wish to.</p>

<p>What can you add to Battleship over the pencil and paper version? A computerized opponent, fairly obviously, as well as the chance to play without using up the earth’s limited paper and pen resources. The possibility of cheating is removed as well.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/108/elite-systems-ltd/">Elite</a> go beyond this by changing the shapes of the ships to be more <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> style, and allowing these to be placed at each of the 4 main angles. A ‘Salvo Fire’ mode sees each player fire a succession of shots (each of your six ships gets four shots a turn until it’s sunk), meaning that strategic play involves firing on a wide range initially in the hope of finding a ship, before homing in on the area in the next turn. Finally, there’s an animated sequence for each go, which is depicted as an air strike. As well as standard two-player games, there’s also a multi-player mode in which the winner’s score accumulates until he loses, allowing for a “winner stays on” structure if there are 3 or more of you.</p>

<p>The Paladin is the ultimate warrior on the battlefield, he leads forces and is the master of swordsmanship. But Paladins are not born with these abilities. They must be trained and tested in many missions to obtain knighthood.</p>
<p>Paladin is an overhead turn-based strategy game played on various tiles. Players take a phase followed by enemies taking a phase. All actions, including movement will use up some of a character's MP (Movement Points). Possible actions include movement, opening doors, picking up items, using items, casting spells or attacking friends and foes on adjacent squares. Each quest is loaded up individually, though some quests may contain multiple maps. The paladin is the only character who can be transfered to any map and the only character to gain experience and new abilities.</p>
<p>The game features a level editor for creation of one's own quests, the game itself comes with 10 quests. New Paladins are also built from this editor. One paladin ("Brandon") comes ready-made with the game.</p>

<p>The Kingdom of Waerna has been thrown into turmoil. The dark wizard, Talmouth uses the powers of magical scrolls he has obtained to lead the armies of evil. As a brave paladin, warrior of the light, it falls to you to defeat Talmouth and save the kingdom!</p>
<p>Scrolls of Talmouth is an add-on disk for <a href="/search/?q=Paladin">Omnitrend's Paladin</a> containing 16 new missions linked together with a common story.</p>

<p>The initial entry in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/445/front-page-sports-series/">Front Page Sports lineup</a> from Dynamix/Sierra, this was an ambitious simulation of North American football that tried to combine the arcade, coaching, and simulation football game experiences into a single package.</p>
<p>Supported single game, season, and career modes with detailed statistics tracking, player aging and injuries, and the ability to save highlights of your best plays from any one of nine preset camera angles. Featured a play editor in which you could make your own plays or edit any of the two hundred or so stock plays included with the game.</p>
<p>Accommodated play styles ranging from joystick control of individual players to simulating a game entirely in a few seconds.</p>

<p>The football management game style has been one of the most enduring since <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/124895/kevin-j-m-toms/">Kevin Toms</a> pioneered it in 1982. You start in the 4th division with the team of your choice, and can play on indefinitely in the hope of reaching the top division and dominating it, as well as winning the cups. Players can be bought or sold, with their transfer values varying according to the size of any bid. Their skills and morale vary as the season goes on, with resting key players in easy matches often a key move. You can take out a loan, limited depending on your division, while day-to-day bills must be covered. Matches feature short animated highlights sequences of key moments (Text only for C16).</p>

<p>GT style racing features in this racer, which tends more towards arcade than simulation. Cars include the Predator and the Hurricane, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. The action can be viewed from inside or outside the car.</p>
<p>When starting the game for the first time you can take part in a training or start in a championship. The practice will be done on one of the two initially available tracks. The other tracks are closed. To gain access to those tracks you must first complete one of the championships. Championships consists of a number of races in different countries, taking in road and asphalt settings.</p>

<p>The first of several re-releases in the Front Page Sports: Football series from Dynamix/Sierra, the initial 'Pro' version boasts a number of improvements designed to widen the appeal of the series.</p>
<p>The NFLPA (National Football League Players Association) granted the game a license, which allowed the use of almost every NFL player's real name in the team rosters.  Team customization got a boost with the ability to assign uniform colors.  An All-Pro game was added.  Ball carrier AI was upgraded, and the game shipped with about one thousand stock plays (many times the size of the original game's playbook.)</p>
<p>On-field graphics were also touched upon:  this game uses the same graphics engine as its predecessor, but features more animations including spins and flips, and tweaked camera angles (including one new angle plus a blimp's-eye view) for better visibility and a more cinematic feel.</p>

<p>Patients and staff are being systematically slaughtered at Greystone. After three murders in just two weeks leave local police stumped, they turn to the New Jersey State Police for help. You, a detective with the state police, enter Greystone undercover as a patient. Since everyone in Greystone is a suspect nobody on Greystone's staff knows your true identity. As far as everyone is concerned, you're just another patient with problems.</p>
<p>As far as text adventure games go, exploring Greystone will be challenging as there are acres of land to be explored containing forests, trails, ponds, basketball courts and even a softball field! You will make your way through underground tunnel systems, many buildings, both active and abandoned, and even the surrounding neighborhood in search of clues, evidence and witnesses as you pursue the criminal. Interacting with several key characters in the story you're challenged to ask the right questions to the right people in addition to knowing when to tip your hand with critical evidence you'll gather.

<p><em>Prohibition</em> is a shoot'em up taking place in New York in 1930. The town is overrun by gangsters and you're hired by the police to rid the town of them.</p>
<p>The gameplay is simple: you're facing a row of buildings, a gangster pops up and you have to shoot him before the on-screen timer goes empty and he shoots you first. You can hide until the timer restarts but this is limited too. 
At the end of each stage is a bonus round where you have to shoot gangsters in a room, with no more ability to hide and a faster timer.
As you progress through each stage, the game will become faster, and enemies will become harder to find and to hit.
Of course, your goal is to reach the end of the game with the highest possible score.</p>

<p>Steg the slug has to feed his family of "T'yungunz".  To do this he must blow bubbles to catch the grubs that they feed on and guide them through the level by blowing on them or nudging them past any obstacles in the way to the nest where T'yungunz live.  To complete a level, you must make sure that a certain number of T'yungunz are fully fed so they go to sleep.  If they don't get enough food then eventually they die.</p>
<p>The levels are full of contraptions such as bellows, and obstacles such as spikes and fire that will burst the bubbles.  Some of these can be activated or deactivated using various switches.</p>

<p>Featuring the English national squad in a top-down soccer game, <em>England Championship Special</em> represents British publisher Grand Slam's attempt to cash in on both England's respectable semi-final entry at the 1990 World Cup and the popularity of Anco's acclaimed <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12994/kick-off/">Kick Off</a> series.</p>
<p>With its 1991 release, <em>English Championship Special</em> is somewhat awkwardly set in between the 1990 World Cup (England made the semi finals, its best result since 1966, then lost to Germany and to Italy in the third-place match) and the European Championship of 1992, to which the "Championship Special" part of the title refers. The squad composition is based on the 1991 status quo, which means you'll go into the Euro tournament with World Cup veterans such as Waddle, Beardsley and Wright, but without 1992 players like Alan Shearer or Alan Smith, infamous substitute to Gary Lineker in the Sweden match.</p>
<p>While Grand Slam got the England team and manager to officially endorse the game (thus having names and photos of 20 squad members from Robson to Gascoigne), they didn't buy the Euro Championship license. You'll be playing seven out of 22 European nations for the "Champions of Europe" title in a nondescript international tournament, from group matches to finals.</p>
<p>Mimicking <em>Kick Off</em> in style and perspective, <em>European Championship Special</em> is geared towards high-speed play at bottom-level complexity, with only one action key for kicks and slides and heads. No cards and hardly any penalties, primitive AI and straightforward gameplay make for goals galore, and the weather system turns out to be wind velocities only, which turns out don't affect the ball at all.</p>

<p>In <em>Cash Invaders</em> you control a space ship at the bottom of the screen while shooting at aliens. It's like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Space+Invaders">Space Invaders</a>, except when you shoot one of the alien ships, they drop cash in the form of gold or silver coins, hence the name <em>Cash Invaders</em>.</p>
<p>You can collect this money to buy power-ups. There are many different power-ups including, extra life, machine gun, shield, and boomerang. As you collect these power-ups, they slowly diminish over time and you have to buy more. You fight the aliens through 100 levels of intense action. Every level, it gets harder. After every 10 levels there is a bonus level where each of the aliens is marked with a number, shoot them in the correct order to score bonus points.</p>
<p>As you go through the game, you will be faced with many challenges. Some of these challenges include stronger enemies, faster enemies, enemies that try to kamikaze, and levels that move too fast for your ship unless you buy the speed-up. The game includes a high score list that also tells you what date you scored it on.</p>

<p><em>Alien Attack</em> is an ASCII text game. You control a ship and have to destroy the alien fighters. The aliens will stop at nothing to destroy the Earth. Let one by and you lose. </p>
<p>You have to be quick because the aliens come in sets of threes. After a little while, the speed of the game increases and you have to be fast because it gets faster and faster. You have to have good timing in this game because if you miss once in the fastest speed, you're done. There are no power-ups in this game. A high score table keeps track of the players' results.</p>

<p><em>Antix</em> (<em>AntiXonix</em>) is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=QIX">QIX</a> variant. There are multiple balls bouncing across the screen. You have to slide your character across the screen to stop them. Every time you surround an area that isn't occupied, it disappears. You have to try to get rid of as much space as possible. Every time you destroy a certain amount of land, you go to the next level. Don't let your character get hit by one of the balls or you lose. </p>
<p>You also have to avoid the balls sliding behind the playing field. They show up every now and then where there used to be land that you destroyed. But after they go behind the playing field, you can't see them until they come out again. If you get hit by them, you also lose. You have five lives. Every now and then, the speed increases and you have to be even better. At every level another ball is added and it gets harder. When you die, add your score to the high score list and see if you're the best.</p>

<p>Blockage is your basic breakout clone. You have to keep your ball from getting past you and you have to destroy all of the bricks. There is one or two blocks in each level that you have to hit before you go onto the next level. If you hit it at the beginning, everything explodes and you get all of the points. If you hit it at the end, all of the bricks are gone so you already have all of the points so you just go to the next level. You can collect the hearts for extra lives. Everytime you hit a break, it explodes, sending debris everywhere so you have to pay attention or you might lose your ball in the confusion. There is no sound or highscore list. There also aren't any power-ups. It's just your basic, no frills, breakout game.</p>

<p>Being part of Mindscape's 4D Sports game series, this program tries to realistically reproduce the game of tennis. Just like all the other games from the series, <em>4D Sports Tennis</em> offers "true four-dimensional gameplay" by letting the player access advanced replay features.</p>
<p>The game is based on simple, untextured 3D polygon graphics, providing not only a standard fixed camera and freely positionable views, but also a very unique first-person view, in which the player does see nothing of his own character except for the racket, and the view is always following the ball.</p>
<p>Other features include dozens of practice missions, a career mode with the possibility to create a customized player, and a multiplayer mode for 2 players on one PC.</p>

<p>Hero's Heart is a game where you play the role of a hero and you have to collect all of the hearts in a level before proceeding to to next level. There are 25 levels. To collect the hearts, you have to solve a series of puzzles such as, how to turn a blue heart to red, how to get four spaces over water with only three blocks, and what order to do things in. There are many more obstacles such as boulders, arrows, balloons, monsters, and fire. You have to solve the puzzles to get to the hearts. Many times, you have to do things in a certain order or the other heart will become blocked by obstacles. This game is sort of like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Chips+Challenge">Chip's Challenge</a>.</p>
<p>Hero's Heart also has a level editor with all of the obstacles that are in the game. You can change the background, the music, and make unique levels. Hero's Heart requires a lot of thinking so you can solve the puzzles. Then when you finish a level, you can do it again and try to get the least amount of moves. Hero's Heart is a shortened version of Hero's Gold, which includes more obstacles and levels.</p>

<p><em>Wrecking Crew</em> is a racing game similar to <a href="/search/?q=Mario+Kart">Mario Kart</a>. Players take control of unorthodox characters such as a pair of Siamese twins, a circus trainer and a mad scientist, and race their hot-rods across ten tracks using unusual weapons such as lighting bolts, body bags and chickens.</p>
<p>A two-player mode is available, and there are many funny unlockable characters. The tracks are sprawling, with teleports, secret routes and hidden areas to find.</p>

<p>Controlling a small frog, the player must jump across lillypads towards his goal. These lillypads gradually grow smaller and eventually sink into the water, new lillypads appear to replace them. Enemy bugs will also chase the enemy frog. Touching the bad bugs or the water results in death. The player can collect colored balls for bonus points. As the levels increase, the game speeds up and lillypads become smaller.</p>

<p><em>Davidic Matchup</em> is a Concentration game, focusing on the teaching of David, from the Bible.</p>
<p>Gameplay is similar to Concentration, where you find matching pairs of cards that are facedown. The cards are related to stories of David. 1-3 players can play and the winner is the one who matches the most cards.</p>

<p>Part of a 4 part series, Jesus Matchup is a Concentration game focused on teaching about Jesus and the Bible.</p>
<p>The game is played just like a regular Concentration game, where you must match up pairs of cards that are face down.  1-3 players can play, and the winner is the player with the most pairs at the end of the game.</p>

<p>Moses Matchup is a Concentration game that teaches the players about Moses and the Bible.  The game is part of a series of games focused on teaching about the Bible.</p>
<p>The game is a standard Concentration game, where 1-3 players try to get matching pairs of cards that are facedown.  The winner is the player with the most pairs at the end of the game.</p>
<p>The cards are all based on Moses.</p>

<p><em>Maker's Matchup</em> is one in a series of Concentration games by Godly Games about the Bible. This game focuses on teaching about God and Jesus.</p>
<p>The game is played just like other Concentration games, where 1-3 players try to match up pairs of cards. The cards in this game are all based on Jesus and God. The winner is the player with the most matching pairs at the end of the game.</p>

<p><em>Christmas Matchup</em> is a Christian-themed Concentration game about the Bible. The cards are images relating to stories of the Bible, which the game attempts to educate the player about.</p>

<p>Buffalo Bill presents a collection of six Wild West themed mini-games, which hang together around humour-lead presentation and backdrops.You can play as many or as few of these as you like, and can always have another go at them if you fail.</p>
<p>First task is to throw knives at a spinning board upon which a surely-terrified and fortunately-skinny lady is locked  - make sure to adjust for the rotation that will occur in the time your shot takes to hit. You get points for missing as many times as possible before hitting. Event 2 is based on shooting ability and is in two stages. First you must shoot the targets of criminals (but not innocents) as they emerge from the ground, next you must shoot the bottles they throw at you from over the horizon.</p>
<p>Event 3 is Calf Roping, in which you must position yourself so as to be able to throw your rope around the poor cow's neck. This is followed by Bronco Riding, in which you must adjust your balance to compensate for the Bronco trying to throw you off, by pushing the joystick out to balance two bars. Level 5 starts off like the Cow Roping, as you jump onto a Steer, before a joystick-waggling section starts. Last of all is a side-scrolling game in which you jump onto a stagecoach which has been invaded by Indians, and beat up the hijacker.</p>

<p>(In)famous for jokes about it, the Polish city of Wąchock is the place where the story of the Polish adventure game <em>Sołtys</em> takes place.</p>
<p>You play the head of the village of Wąchock and your aim is to find the missing husband of your daughter (who apparently isn't very attractive if you know what I mean). Scared of his future, Leon decides to run away from the wedding and you are responsible for bringing this poor guy back.</p>
<p>The game is a classic point and click adventure in which you collect objects and find places to use them. You move from one location to another using special "location icons". Number of available locations to visit represents the game's progress. At first there are only eight of them and later on they increase to total number of 24. The game is full of Polish jokes and "play on words" technique to give player hints how riddles should be solved.</p>

<p>Alex and Franko were a pair of great friends, living in times where Poland was morphing from communist country into something else. Lost in the world, they couldn't find themselves in the new reality. Living in the Polish city of Szczecin, the two were growing up in a rather unfriendly neighbourhood. Mastering martial arts, they found their life tough but very interesting. Until one day a band of thugs attacked them. After a long fight, when Franko was able to see and feel again, he saw a body of his friend, and in his ears he still heard the laughter of the band's leader, Klocek. Now it's time for revenge.</p>
<p><em>Franko</em> is a classical <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Double+Dragon">Double Dragon</a>-style action game. With excessive amount of blood and violence, it is suitable for mature audiences only. The player walks right through the streets of a Polish city (decorated with typical decor of the communist era). On his way, he faces various kinds of enemies, from punks, through karatekas, to infamous Communist law enforcement groups like ZOMO. The enemies can be fought with a variety of hand-to-hand blows and moves, though some of them carry guns.</p>

<p>A sophisticated flight model emphasizes the unique characteristics of these special aircraft. Players have the choice of flying a KA-8, LS-1F, SB-10, ASW-27 or a radio control model. In order to get airborne, players have an option of using a tow-plane, a winch, or by-passing the take-off and starting in the air.</p>

<p>Former boxing World Champion Frank Bruno, famed for his catchphrase "you know what I mean, Harry?" and more recently his heroic battle with depression, put his name to this boxing game which replicates <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/64012/super-punch-out/">Super Punch-Out!!</a>. As Frank, you must take on 8 progressively tough boxers (3 on C16) to win the title. </p>
<p>The action is viewed from right behind Frank in 3D, meaning that you can see and feel the full impact of punches. A full range of moves is provided, with the standard jabs complimented by body punches and the ability to dodge, duck or raise your guard.</p>
<p>Each punch weakens your opponent's strength, although going long enough without being hit can see this begin to recover. A rain of blows can produce a quick knockout, but in general you must hit him many times, and then with a knockout blow, to see him go down.</p>
<p>Most of your opponents have a special move which must be avoided, or you will be floored instantly.</p>
<p>Once you have beaten all of your opponents you are declared Champion of the World.</p>

<p>Li Xiaoyao is a young man who studies martial arts under the guidance of his aunt, an owner of an inn which is often visited by famous adventurers and heroes. Seeing those heroes, Li Xiaoyao dreams of becoming one himself. And of course, the mind of the young man is also occupied with pretty girls.</p>
<p>Finally his dream of becoming an adventurer comes true, but not quite in the fashion he wanted it to be. His aunt becomes gravely sick, and the only way to save her is to find a legendary medicine. During his journey to the land where he hopes to find the medicine, Li Xiaoyao meets the beautiful Zhao Ling'er, who is persecuted by ruthless enemies. The grand adventure of Li Xiaoyao's life begins.</p>
<p><em>Xianjian Qixia Zhuan</em> is the first entry in the Chinese-made <em>Legend of Sword and Fairy</em> role-playing game series. The game is set in feudal China and features supernatural elements. Gameplay-wise, it is very close to Japanese RPGs. The player controls a party of heroes which he navigates through towns and maze-like dungeons, buying weapons and accessories and searching for treasure. Story progression is linear for the most part. There is no overworld in the game; however, some areas are seamlessly connected to each other and can be explored in a different order.</p>
<p>There are no random enemy encounters in the game: all enemies are visibly walking on the field and can sometimes be avoided. The turn-based battles are viewed from an isometric perspective. During the battles, the heroes can execute physical attacks, defend, use items, or execute special martial arts or spells unique to each character.</p>

<p>A baseball game for 1 or 2 players in which the action takes place in parks, vacant lots and backyards with makeshift bases, rather than on an actual diamond.  In addition to the normal rules of baseball, players must cope with mud puddles, tree stumps, and other hazards.  Features a split-screen view which provides an overview of the entire field alongside close-ups of where the action is happening.</p>

<p>After the legendary being Pangu opened the sky, there were only two great deities in the world: the ruler of gods, and the demon lord. When the godly woman Nüwa created human beings, a new epoch began, that of humans, gods, and demons. At first, there was a harmony in the world. But gradually, the humans developed their technique and occupied the realms of demons and gods. The demon lord became angry and ordered his minions to destroy humanity. Thousand years of peace have ended. The humans were surprised to discover that in this battle the ruler of gods took the side of the demon lord. When humanity was close to extinction, a hero who was carrying the legendary Xuanyuan sword appeared. He led the remaining humans to a desperate battle, and the humans were defeated. Since then, they could only live in the shadow of demons.</p>
<p>Many years have passed, and a new hero who can wield the Xuanyuan sword was born. Studying martial arts by an old Chinese master, the hero is yet unaware of his destiny. Everything begins when the teacher, worried about his friend, a mayor of a town that was invaded by demons, orders the hero to go there and to rescue him...</p>
<p><em>Xuanyuan Jian</em> ("Sword of Xuanyuan") is one of the first computer role-playing games made by Chinese (Taiwanese) developers. Graphically and gameplay-wise, the game follows the standards of Japanese RPGs. The player navigates the hero and his companions on a world map viewed from top-down perspective. Dialogues and battles are viewed from first-person perspective. Enemies appear randomly, and the battle engine is turn-based. The setting of the game, however, is different from the traditional fantasy worlds of Japanese RPGs, since it is set in old China, and its story is based on Chinese mythology.</p>

<p>He Ran is a young man who studies martial arts by an old master, together with the lovely girl Jiang Ruhong. One day, the master receives a message from a village chief, saying that there is trouble in the Yexun mountain area. Bandits attack innocent people, and something must be done to stop that. The master, He Ran, and Jiang Ruhong go to the Yexun mountain area to put an end to bandit raids. This trip is just the beginning of a long adventure...</p>
<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19353/xuanyuan-jian/"> Xuanyuan Jian</a> is also set in old China; though the three heroes bear different names, the story is set up as a direct continuation of the previous game's unfinished tale. Graphically, the second game departs from the "Japanese" look of its predecessor: its hand-drawn backgrounds and character portraits and sprites have their own distinct Chinese flavor. Navigation over world map, in towns, and in dungeons is done from top-down perspective, while the turn-based battles utilize first-person view. There are now backgrounds for battles, and attacks are animated (showing the party members perform an attack from over-the-shoulder view).</p>
<p><em>Xuanyuan Jian 2</em> introduces new features to the rather basic gameplay system of its predecessor, which have been since used in most installments of the series. The "Spirit Pot" system allows the player to capture monsters during battles and fuse them with other monsters or items to create more powerful types. The monsters can be then used during battles as items, aiding the player-controlled party. A stamina bar has been added next to the regular magic points, allowing the use of special stamina-based techniques.</p>

<p>The Warring States Period was a time of continuous struggle in China. Small kingdoms attacked each other, and none was strong enough to rule over the entire country. At this time, Fu Ziche was a young apprentice of the great philosopher Mozi in the country of Daliang. One day the river Huanghe flooded their town, and Fu Ziche discovered this flood was caused by people who used some kind of magic. He found out that the mysterious attackers also had a wooden robot with them. Mozi told the young man that it was him who designed the robot and developed the technique of wooden machines, but for some reason this technique was used for evil purposes. The hero sets off on a journey to discover the truth behind the attack and find their ultimate enemy.</p>
<p>This first <em>waizhuan</em> (side story) in the Chinese-made <em>Xuanyuan Jian</em> role-playing series is not directly related to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19361/xuanyuan-jian-2/"> second</a> game story-wise, but is very similar to it both graphically and gameplay-wise. It is the first game in the series that is set in a concrete period of Chinese history and features real historical characters, such as the philosopher Mozi and others. The game utilizes the same combat system with turn-based battles that feature animated "over-the-shoulder" attacks. The character sprites shown during such attacks are now significantly larger, and the animation is more detailed. Gameplay elements first introduced in the previous game, such as stamina bar and the possibility to capture and summon monsters in battles, have also been preserved.</p>

<p>Skate Rock was one of the earliest skateboarding video games, capturing the feel of 80s street skateboarding.</p>

<p><em>Alien Olympics</em> is a wacky combination of track &amp; field games and retro-arcade games that you play as an alien. There are 8 unique alien characters that you can choose and compete against. Each alien has different strengths and weaknesses.

<p>While ZX Spectrum and C64 see a genuine space shooter with full-screen backgrounds and level variations, CPC and DOS get bare-bone versions stripped down to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8402/galaga/">Galaga</a> level.</p>

<p>After a series of German interactive fiction games (<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4784/das-stundenglas/">Das Stundenglas</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5710/die-kathedrale/">Die Kathedrale</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Hexuma">Hexuma</a>), <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Harald+Evers">Harald Evers</a> and his <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/2372/weltenschmiede/">Weltenschmiede</a> move on to point-and-click graphic adventures. <em>Die Höhlenwelt Saga</em> embeds a fantasy underworld in a science fiction frame.</p>
<p>Starship pilot Eric "Speedy" MacDoughan traces his lost love, mysterious Maomi, to the barren planet 2S-126 in the Taurus 5 system, to discover that a network of caves leads to a gigantic cave world far beneath the crust - the Höhlenwelt ("cave world"). Down there, flying dragons and humanoid peoples live on a magical-medieval level under the despotic rule of an alien reptile race called Drakken. Eric meets the artificial being Cal (a deja vu for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Hexuma">Hexuma</a> players), who sends him to the cave world to retrieve a powerful energy crystal (the <em>Leuchtende Kristall</em> ("glowing crystal") from the game's title). And find Maomi, of course.</p>
<p><em>Die Höhlenwelt Saga</em> is a pretty straight-forward, inventory-driven point-and-click adventure game. Once Eric befriends a flying dragon named Susi (yes, Susi), he's free to explore the key places on the cave world continent of Veldoor at leisure, though the game's puzzles are strictly linear nevertheless.</p>
<p>The game is entirely in German and was published in Germany only. The CD version of <em>Die Höhlenwelt Saga</em> features voice-overs for the intro and narrator sequences, but character dialogues stay text messages.</p>

<p>Dr. Xavier Tortion (aka Dr. X), jewel thief and smuggler extraordinaire, is on the loose; intelligence reports he is somewhere in North America along with numerous jewels he's stolen. Your job will be to find the jewels and locate Dr. X! </p>
<p><em>Adventures in North America</em> is an educational adventure game which is similar to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/47/carmen-sandiego-series/">Carmen Sandiego</a> series of games. In the game you will need to travel to various North American locations to search for clues; some clues have been left behind by friendly agents and indicate where jewels are located. Sometimes you will come across an informant; if bribed with money or jewels, you will receive a clue as to Dr. X's where about. When you think you have enough clues, you can guess where Dr. X is hiding; you only get three guesses though, so if you keep guessing wrong the game will end. If you are successful in your mission, you are given an efficiency rating; the fewer turns you can locate Dr. X in and the more jewels recovered, the better your score will be.</p>

<p>Based on the famous novel by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/362473/lyman-frank-baum/">L. Frank Baum</a>, <em>the Wizard of Oz</em> places the player in the role of Dorothy Gale, who is transported by a cyclone to the magical world of Oz.

</ul>

<p>An early squad based combat strategy game set in a medieval style fantasy world.</p>
<p>The player decides which race they want to play (Human, Orc, Dwarf or Elf) each with their own strengths and weaknesses. It is then a matter of clearing out areas of opponents and finding items to enhance your character's and companions abilities. </p>
<p>There are many traps to avoid and death is a constant in what most people would find a very tough game. </p>
<p>The nearest game to compare it to would be <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/743/rage-of-mages/">Rage Of Mages</a>, though that has more of an RPG/RTT (real-time tactics) focus as opposed to "squad action", but it does bear aesthetic similarities and a squad based fantasy fighting theme.</p>
<p>Gameplay for leader is action-oriented, with a menu that allows to Parley/Travel/Rally Troops, change formations or use items.
The leader attacks with Melee and Projectile buttons. Some classes are more reliant on teammates than others. "Parley" allows you to buy (but not sell) items, or buy a Safe Pass (skip the area)</p>

<p><em>Farland Story</em> is the first in the row of successful Japanese strategy RPG games. The main hero of the game is a knight named Arc, who is in love with the beautiful priestess Ferio. One day, when Arc and his best friend Randia are out of town, a hostile army under the command of a mysterious Black Knight invades the town and kidnaps Ferio. Thus begins Arc's quest to defeat the enemies and to rescue his beloved one from their clutches.</p>
<p>Farland Story consists entirely of battles (save cut scenes and the ability to shop if you are near a town after a battle). During battles, you move Arc and his party over the terrain, and attack when there are enemies in range. The party consists of different classes - knights attack with swords, archers specialize in long-ranged combat, priestesses heal, etc. Every attack leads to a counter-attack, from the enemy's side as well as from yours. You gain experience points for every attack, and can level up in the middle of a battle.</p>

<p>Another Tetris clone. In the phantasy world reconstructed after decadence, the favourite game was Drak - a game where you have to eliminate lines of blocks flying from the top. This game allows you to practice or complete the Conquest, ultimate goal of Drak, which consist of 100 stages. You have to eliminate lines until indicator turns yellow. Also bombs are flying from the top. Sometimes obstacles and other difficulties can be on the path of the flying object.</p>

<p>Eddie Murphy became a star in the police film Beverly Hills Cop, and it was this license that Tynesoft used to create a game featuring four distinct sub-games, each of which can be practiced from the main screen in some versions. First Axel Foley visits a warehouse to shoot out some bad guys in a <a href="/search/?q=Green+Beret">Green Beret</a>-influenced sequence.</p>
<p>The second level (first on the C64 version) involves driving after 3 lorries full of weapons, and shooting them out one by one, <a href="/search/?q=Chase+HQ">Chase HQ</a>-style. Avoid contact and stay on the road to complete this. Next you must cross the grounds of a mansion, shooting anyone who gets in your way.</p>
<p>The final section is set within the mansion, and is first-person 3D, although with few movement angles and only one enemy on screen at a time.</p>

<p>Aliens have taken over the three moons orbiting your home planet, and your mission is to blow them up (not just the aliens, but the entire moons!).</p>
<p>Each moon contains four levels incorporating several gameplay modes and perspectives:</p>
<ul>
<li>Level 1 is a first-person 3D space flight simulation, as the player pilots a ship over the moon's surface looking for the entrance to a cave.</li>
<li>Level 2 is a side-view scrolling shooter in which the player explores the cave in search of bombs.</li>
<li>Level 3 is similar to level 2, except it takes place underwater.</li>
<li>Level 4 is the final one; it is a top-down grid-based maze shooter, as the player tries to plant the bombs and escape before they explode.</li>
</ul>

<p>This tennis simulation uses a top-down scrolling perspective. You are not in control of the player's motion, but once he gets close to the ball, shot selection is down to you. Standard shots plus topspin, lobs and stop volleys are available, by pushing the joystick in the right direction as you aim the shot.</p>
<p>The game supports up to 16 players in singles matches on a variety of court surfaces.  It includes all of the major world tournaments - the four Grand Slam events at Melbourne, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and New York, plus the Davis Cup and Masters events.  An early attempt at TV-style coverage is offered.</p>

<p>With 20 coins in your hand, you approach the electronic poker machine confidently, with the aim of making a killing. There are several winning hands, with a Royal Flush paying out at 250-1, a Royal Flush at 50-1 and Four of a Kind at 20-1. Smaller winnings can be scored with multiple pairs or pairs of 'face cards'. There are five skill levels, and four different values of money to play with. After the initial draw you can choose which cards to hold in the hope of getting the best possible combination together. There is no opponent to play, and thus no bluffing involved.</p>

<p>This has a more humorous approach then most other games of this type, the characters and graphics have a lot of cartoon feeling.</p>
<p>There are 8 different events to compete in. Some are really easy if you fast on the buttons, like Swimming and 100 meter sprint. But others like Long jump, Javelin and Archery needs more technique then hammering on the buttons.</p>
<p>Also there is Skeet shooting, Boxing and Kayak events.</p>

<p>Is anyone better placed to write a simulation of a Jump Jet than someone who flies them for a living? With any luck, no - Vaughan Dow is behind this attempt at an accurate recreation of his day job.</p>
<p>You can take on one of four statuses, from Flight Lieutenant right up to Group Captain, with a practice mode also included. You must use guidance missiles and close-range guns, while paying attention to your fuel level, and the wind on higher difficulties.</p>

<p>A supercomputer in the most remote part of a distant galaxy has become crazy and threatens to destroy the planet. You have been chosen to be the central link of the support command which will try to give a solution for it. But don't worry, you have been educated and trained in the Golden Ring space station, the hardest survival school of the galactic confederation.</p>
<p>Besides, your ship is equipped with the ultimate devices which will allow you to travel safely by the well-known universe. The Combat Mode, where you can activate a panel with a system to locate and to destroy your enemies and the Control System via Menus, both make La Aventura Espacial a new concept in the graphic-conversational adventure.</p>
<p>First of all, your mission is to find your companions, whom are distributed by all the universe, and together with them you must arrive to the central base of the Dark Threat. There, you will have to deal one on one with the computer. It's not an easy task, but you are the last hope of the humanity. All the galaxy has its destiny in your hands.</p>

<p>In the year 2535 the planet Omni declared independence from Earth. This decision was met by harsh repressions carried out by the Terran government. In response, Omni scientists managed to convert a device known as Power Loader (PLD) into combat mechas. Five years later, the 177th squadron was formed, consisting of an all-female team named DoLLS (Detachment of Limited Line Service).</p>
<p><em>Power Dolls</em> is a turn-based strategy game in which the player takes role of a commander of an all-female military group manning giant mechanized battlesuits in a series of nine missions, with objectives ranging from destroying convoys to stalling enemy advance to rescuing captured military personnel. </p>
<p>Squads for each mission can be assembled from a total of twenty-one pilots, seven variants of mechanized battle armor (which can be armed with sixteen types of weaponry), four types of aircraft ranging from transport carriers to fighter-bombers and artillery units.</p>
<p>Several different battle plans can be chosen for most of the missions. The differences between these may range anywhere from a slight change of the deployment time up to and including a complete change of mission strategy.</p>
<p>Successfully completing a mission unlocks bonus piece of artwork depicting one of the women piloting the mechs ingame. There are nine of these graphics in total, one for each mission.</p>

<p>The small kingdom of Celystra was prosperous under it's old king, "Korros the Wise". The prince, Lythare has ascended to the throne and his wife given birth to a child on his coronation day. However two days later this newborn infant disappeared, presumed kidnapped. Lythare blames the kingdom's Champion Knight-Paladin, as well as several members of the court for failing to protect the child, and imprisons them in the dungeon. The Champion's son, knowing that his father must not have deserved imprisonment sets out on a quest to find the baby with his two companions. However not much is known of the fate of the child, so perhaps other quests and objectives will need to be accomplished first.</p>
<p><em>The Aethra Chronicles: Volume One: Celystra's Bane</em> is a shareware medieval role-playing game in the tradition of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/8021/gold-box-series/">SSI's Dungeons &amp; Dragons licensed Gold Box RPGs</a>. Taking it's inspiration from that, the game uses a similar system based on die rolls against stats/skill combinations. Players begin by creating three characters, choosing their class and stats in various stats such as Strength, Agility, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Presence, Memory, and Reason. The player then assigns skill proficiencies in a variety of abilities dependent on those stats (such as Spell Lists, Pick Lock, Woods Lore, etc.). Combat between characters and monsters is turn-based and the player can recruit an additional three characters for a total of six. </p>
<p>As with most shareware games, the first episode (The Book of Prophecy) can be freely distributed, while the other two (Gems of Power and Demon's Might) available only to registered users.</p>

<p>Peace had arrived finally at "Cocovillage" thanks to the good work made by Mad Mix, who had become the worthy successor of his grandfather. But the nightmare had still not finished, because a few miles away, in the town of his cousin Ope, "Cococastle" (a place crowned by a phantasmagoric Castle), it was happening a strange phenomena. All the indications made think that a "coco", survivor of "Cocovillage", had converted the Castle into his dwelling, establishing in addition a maleficent alliance with the sinister inhabitants from that place. The terror had seized the inhabitants of "Cococastle", and only Mad can give back the tranquillity to the pacific inhabitants of this village.</p>
<p>The game consists in eating all the "coconuts" (small ball species that are dispersed through all the Castle) which appear at every moment. Once you have finished with all the coconuts of the level you will pass to the following stay of the Castle of the Ghosts, this is the mechanic until you have been able to explore all its corners. However, you shouldn't care only in eating all the "coconuts", but in addition you will have to be very kind trying to not collide with any of the inhabitants of the terrific Castle, as well as to avoid the different traps (or using them in your own benefit) while taking helpful -some with really curious effects- objects.</p>

<p>La Mancha, Spain, April of 1605...</p>
<p>You are Don Alonso Quijano, a Manchegan nobleman (hidalgo, more concretely) of the XVI century, whose soft spot is the cavalry novels. Everything goes more or less fine in your house, until one day your madness reaches the culminating point: you decide to take the arms and go out to travel through La Mancha. You obtain a shield-bearer, Sancho Panza, who, although not being the best on the field, will help you in the hardest situations. From this very moment you will be participant of the most incredible adventures you have ever imagined. Winds, hills, forests and inns will be witnesses of your craziest ideas such as attacking mills or challenging fierce lions, but before that, you must equipe yourself like a brave cavalier.</p>
<p>Your final objective, like in the novel, will be to find your beloved and infinitely appreciated, Dulcinea del Toboso.</p>

<p>You become the doctor in this "real-life" simulation. From the initial contact with patients to their release, you'll be processing paperwork, examining, diagnosing, ordering treatment, and performing follow-up examinations.</p>
<p>Things can get very hectic in the Emergency Room of Legacy Memorial Hospital. There are a wide variety of medical situations to deal with which range in seriousness from a simple bee sting to sexually transmitted diseases to "code blue" life-threatening accidents.  Over 400 such cases are covered in this game.</p>
<p>Don't worry if you have no medical knowledge because the research materials available to you are plentiful. You'll do quite a bit of reading on medical treatments, human anatomy and physiology and emergency procedures.</p>

<p>In this tennis simulation, the player is Spanish tennis hero Emilio Sanchez Vicario. The player can play tennis against the computer or against a friend in two player mode.</p>
<p>It is possible to play just one match or a tournament. In tournament mode the player can select which grand slam to play: the Australia Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open.</p>
<p>The player can select their opponent from a list of famous tennis players, such as Lendl, Becker, Wilander, Edberg, or McEnroe.</p>
<p>The game follows standard tennis rules and allows the player to hit a variety of forehand and backhand shots to any location on the court.</p>

<p>Your assignment consists in guiding The A-Team through two dangerous missions. On the first operation you will have to travel to the Morania desert in order to reduce a dangerous group of Arab terrorists who have met in an abandoned town. On the second one, you will have to destroy a military base located in Tirania, where an invasion of the neighboring countries is being prepared. In order to carry out so difficult missions you count with a modern N-16 A2 rifle gunner with telescope sight, 2 shippers of 50 bullets each one and 2 long-reach pumps, although in the course of the combat you will be able to acquire more ammunition. Sometimes you will see dynamite charges deposited in the ground; an accurate firing on them will end with every object or person on the screen. Also you will be able to shoot to boats, which will provide you an extra dose of energy.</p>

<p>The game is a classic beat-'em-up.</p>
<p>A Jumbo jet full of passengers is hijacked by Iraqi terrorists and they are threatening to blow the plane up.</p>
<p>One of the passengers happens to be the girl friend of Ricky. Can you as Ricky fight off all of the terrorists and rescue the hostages on the plane?</p>

<p><em>Gobman</em> is a 90's clone of <a href="/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a>. Like in <em>Pac-Man</em>, you play a yellow circle going around a maze eating dots, except every time you advance a maze the maze changes its color and shape.</p>

<p>In the mid-'70s, an unusual phenomenon took place: two Americans, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/15632/will-crowther/">Willie Crowther</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Don+Woods">Don Woods</a> wrote <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/7496/adventure-versions/">the first text adventure game</a>: it was the Original Adventure and was written in Fortran for a DEC PDP-10 and occupied more than 300 K of memory. It gathered a cult following from the elite programmers who knew how to connect to the data bank where it was located, and like all cults, it had its first "martyrs"; several important programmers were fired after becoming "addicted" to it, found playing it late at night while understood to be working overtime instead.</p>
<p>In the United States it was the base that inspired <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Scott+Adams">Scott Adams</a> to begin with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1405/adventure-international/">his famous adventures</a>.

In Spain, there was a similar story, since the first Spanish company dedicated exclusively to text adventures (Aventuras AD), made its reputation based on a game curiously called "La Aventura Original" (yes, based on the legendary one), the fruit of 8 months of investigation and work.</p>
<p>This version, aside from being in Spanish, has with several points worth mentioning, such as having more than 100 detailed locations with graphical illustrations; a special routine of exit descriptions (indispensable for guiding the adventurer through this complex world); and the possibility of using accents, "ñ"'s and opening interrogation and exclamation signs. As well, every object of your inventory is described in text and graphic form. The characters also use the PSI system, so they are not mere objects with human names, but will listen to you and respond -- but most importantly, will act according to how you treat them.</p>

On the first part you will have to face a series of natural obstacles while shooting to everything with strange looks, for that, you count with a laser and a cosmic hammer, but you also should take batteries for your portable radar that informs to you of the enemy situation. </p>
<p>Once finished this part, you will start the last one, in which you must be careful in not crashing your newly-acquired motorcycle with the multiple obstacles you will find, at the same time you get rid of the mutants, whereas you go to the laboratory where you will have to liberate the kidnapped scientists.  It won't be easy - you will find the head of the mutants who is anxious to give you a warm welcome.</p>

<p>"Jai Alai" is a game based on the Basque Cesta Punta (from the Basque "zesta-punta", also called Jai Alai which roughly translates as "joyful party"), a sport original from the Basque country which is very popular in the whole Spain, but also to a lesser extent in some regions of the United States since the early XX century, the times of the European migrations, and in Mexico, Philippines and France, for example. While Jai Alai is one of the names of the game, it is also often used to refer to the gameplay zone, the court or "frontón", specially around southwest USA.</p>
<p>The games are disputed between two teams (composed of two players each one), on a three-walled court. The ball is sent to the front wall where it rebounds and one member of the opposite team has to catch it and send back to the front wall. The ball can rebound on the left and back wall, but there's no right wall as in other related Basque ball sports. With a scoring system somewhat similar to the one of table tennis; in it, we will be able to score if we are in possession of the serve, while in the opposite case we will only be allowed to recover it.</p>

These include looking at an object, picking it up, talking to people, using objects to solve problems (often in combination with others), and giving objects to others.</p>

There are 4 similar levels further split into two parts. Second part is always harder because the end of it is occupied by huge/powerful boss.

<p><em>PGA Tour 96</em> was the last of the series released for Sega's 16-bit console, and technologically the most advanced one. Instead of offering several generic courses, the three available (Spyglass Hill, Sawgrass and River Highlands) are in 3D, with height differences visible (as well as the limited 3D abilities of the console allow).</p>
<p>The player can either chose to play as one of the 10 PGA Pros (whose swings were digitized), or go Pro - the game keeps track of statistics (longest drive, driving accuracy, best round, etc), a game (Tournament, Strokeplay, Skins, Match and Shootout), as well as a replay.</p>
<p>Gameplaywise, PGA 96 uses the tried-and-proved triple click system - one to start the swing, other to set strength and a final one for accuracy. It's possible to fade or draw the ball (to bend the trajectory), add backspin and pitch or chip the ball (for some medium range attempts at the hole or go above a bush).The difficulty level affects mostly the leniency of the triple click hit areas - while at novice it is possible to let the accuracy a bit off-center, in pro levels the ball goes where your swing took it - no excuses taken. However, only in Pro it is possible to make the longest drives, as the amateur and novice levels take a few yards from the total capacity of the club.</p>

<p>Long ago, back in the days of cavemen and dinosaurs, there was a land called Og.  In this land, hungry one-eyed cavemen, called Trogs, loved the taste of eggs.  However, four Dino-Mites, Spike, Bloop, Rex and Gwen, were determined to rescue the eggs from certain doom!</p>

The first player to get all eggs of their colour wins the round.  Of course, Trogs also love the taste of Dino meat, and will use cavemen inventions such as fire and the wheel to catch them and gobble them up!  Luckily, the Dinos can fight back - eating a pineapple will turn them into a monstrous T-Rex that can chow down on Trogs, while a hot tamale lets them breathe fire.</p>

<p>While in the caves, you will encounter skeletons, giant bats, giant bugs, giant leeches, giant rats, great slimes, lizardmen, antmen, giant squids, and zombies. Be careful to not do too much at one time, or else you may drain your stamina and become too tired to hit the monsters!</p>

<p>Released alongside the 1994 World Cup, this was the first version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/80110/sensible-soccer/">Sensible Soccer</a> to feature teams from outside Europe. The World Cup tournament is featured in full, and you can adjust which 24 teams this features, a particularly crucial feature for English and French fans, as their nations failed to qualify. For the first time in the series an on-screen referee is featured. The club team data has been updated to take into account transfers and kit changes since the previous version. Gameplay is much the same as previous editions, being viewed from above with small sprites and loose ball control.</p>

<p>The computer game of an <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/237647/anna-popkess/">Anna Popkess</a> book (which was originally bundled with the game) uses an interactive fiction System Without A Name, or SWAN for short. It’s set in a post-apocalyptic world of guards desperately attempting to retain order over mobs of genetically-mutated thugs, with extensive use of the death penalty. </p>

<p>Encounters with other characters are frequent, of whom some retain a semblance of old humanity. Daryl, Alison and Matthew all come in handy, and must be coaxed into doing what you wish. Examining objects often gives few clues, so the detail in the manual is vital, although few of the objects are vastly different from familiar 20th century artifacts. Two levels of object descriptions exist, allowing for faster or more immersive play.</p>

<p><em>Flying Corps Gold</em> is a re-release of the 1996 WWI air combat simulator <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2296/flying-corps/">Flying Corps</a>.

<p>Ultimate Soccer Manager is football manager based on the 4 top English leagues. It includes a full icon-driven interface, where instead of clicking the option buttons, each screen is seen as the office in question (manager, president, bank, etc), and to access the screens the player has to click in the according item (for instance, to check the tables and fixtures, clicking on the television gives access to teletext). </p>
<p>The player has the usual options such as selecting players and tactics, expanding the stadium and facilities and deal with the clubs' finances, but also to bribe and bung teams and bet on own matches. It's also possible to edit the database before each match.</p>
<p>A data disk with Italian teams was also released, and a German version named <em>Der Meister</em> focused on the German leagues.</p>

<p>Ultimate Soccer Manager 2 is the followup of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20697/ultimate-soccer-manager/">USM</a> and mostly a graphical improvement over the DOS and Amiga AGA versions. Now sporting a 640x480 resolution, all of the offices menus (from where all options are selected) are crisper and some of them were merged together to simplify navigation.</p>
<p>New features include team and individual training, player personality (meaning that a team of talented players can still be unsuccessful if key players are either psychologically weak or flawed), better catering and merchandising options and setting up plays.</p>
<p>The game is packed with both English, French and German leagues, although all run from different executables.</p>

<p>In 1992, Liverpool FC had been the UK's leading club for most of the previous 30 years, although their FA Cup success that year proved to be their last major trophy for nearly a decade. Arc Developments' licensed game features a third-person 3D view similar to <a href="/search/?q=Striker">Striker</a>, with a small area of the screen in detail at a time, although there is also a scanner to view where players are on the full pitch.</p>
<p>Playing as Liverpool, you can play either the full season, single matches, a 2-player friendly, or the FA Cup in season. Each Liverpool player has a full profile (although they all look the same on the pitch, and are all depicted as white), and the formation and team lineup can be chosen.</p>
<p>The ball roughly sticks to your foot, and player control is transferred to the player nearest to the ball by tapping fire, even if he is not close enough to the ball to be in view. Tapping fire as the ball comes to you will attempt a one-touch pass in the direction the joystick is pointing. Unusually, aftertouch is optional.</p>

<p><em>World of Fantasy</em> is a collection of five fantasy-themed games, predominantly in the role-playing genre. For every game a small sheet of paper containing a short summary of the manual has been included.</p>

<p>Booly is a puzzle game with a similar concept to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12894/gemx/">Gem’X</a> in some ways. You are presented with a top-down view of an array of inter-connected blocks, which are shown in a variety of colours. The aim is to turn them all to grey, but clicking on them (using the pointer you are in control of) will often cause a pattern of other squares to change to the next colour in the sequence as well. You are doing all this with a time limit for each of the 300 levels. A level designer allows you to create your own sequence of up to 1000 levels.</p>

<p><em>Soccer Superstars</em> is a 2D side-scrolling football game in which the player can chose from 32 international teams to take part in either friendly games or cup tournaments. These can be played against the computer or both computer and a friend, however there is also a demo mode in which you will be able to see an entire tournament -or a friendly match- as a mere spectator. You are also free to modify team line-ups (all composed of real national player names), select basic formation systems, and alter the game length. The game interface is multi-language.</p>

<p>Graeme Souness Soccer Manager is a basic football managing game based on the English leagues where the player is responsible for bringing a team (any available) from the Conference to the top division.</p>
<p>Options are limited: the player can select the starting eleven, the players being rated in both ability and fitness, explore the transfer market for signing better players and request overdraft extensions. While no player refuses the sign for your team (even if it's still on the Conference), the real game challenge is to balance finances, and avoid paying too much in wages while still in the lower divisions.</p>

<p><em>Kick Off 98</em> is an international-team based football game, released to take advantage of the forthcoming 1998 World Cup. Game modes include practice (with several situations available, such as corners, dribbling and free kicks), warm up (a mode where the level of play increases as the player learns to play more effectively), quick start, friendly, cup, world cup, ANCO Challenge (where the player chooses increasingly difficult opponents), network play and a name/appearance editor.</p>
<p>The game was fully localized in several countries, such as Germany, Spain, Italy and Portugal.</p>

<p><em>Fallen Angel</em> is a side scrolling fighting game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10650/vigilante/">Vigilante</a>. You play the fallen angel, sent on a mission to locate the leader of a drug distribution network. Beginning in the London underground, each level will present you with two tasks to complete: find a plane ticket to reach the next level, and destroy the ring leader of the area. To do this you will need to fight the (often well armed) thugs found in the various underground train stations and on the trains themselves. Each level consists of several stations; when all the thugs in a station are defeated, you may get on the train to go to a different station. The plane ticket you are searching for may be found in any one of these stations, and the level boss will be found in the last station. You are free to complete these two tasks in any order you choose, and don't need to visit the stations in any particular order. Fallen angel has the ability to perform a variety of kicks and punches to deal with the bad guys, and can occasionally pick up weapons.</p>

<p>In the future, physical sports will be replaced by a violent virtual contest, where a lot of gambling and corporate cash is involved.</p>
<p>Such is the setting for this action-packed game, where you act as a jockey for a virtual tank of massive firepower, called a Rig. Navigate through the maze-like arenas with jumps, elevators and movable blocks. Pick up power-ups to overcome other Rigs, or Gems to advance through more than 40 levels.</p>
<p>Graphics and ambiance are inspired, it seems, by <a href="/search/?q=Tron">Tron</a>, and place the player in a "wire framed" virtual environment. The focus here, though, is not racing, but rather blowing your opponent to oblivion. For that purpose the game gives the player progressively more power and versatility. Mini guns, laser cannons and heat seeking missiles are pretty much standard gear, but it also has a couple of twists of its own: feed your guns bouncing or shattering ammo rounds for added firepower, or experiment with the fly-by-wire missiles, where you remote control it to your target of preference. Shields and turrets are also at your disposal.</p>
<p>Also, as the game progresses, you can choose different tanks (Rigs) to use in your struggle to survive the clash. The game features 3-D graphics with light sourcing and multiplayer features.</p>

<p>This skiing game is viewed from behind the player in 3D. There are four different events available – Slalom, Giant Slalom, Downhill and Ski Jump. These can be practiced in Training mode, or taken on in a sequence of 2 of each in Competition mode. You must pass through the pairs of gates and hit the single ones, remain on the course, and avoid trees and spectators. Offences such as these will cause you to accrue penalty points, which will detract from your score. Up to 5 players can attempt these, with their results compared at the end.</p>

<p>In <em>Fatty Bear's FunPack</em>, you play against Fatty Bear in either Reversi (a classic game of strategy and logic), Lines &amp; Boxes ( a childhood classic involving a grid of dots and the players draw lines to create boxes), and the card game Go Fish.
Designed for kids 3-8, each of these games has 4 difficulty levels.</p>
<p>In addition, you can play Tangrams, a centuries-old game where are shown a shape and given a number of smaller pieces and have to put them together to make the shape. The game gets harder as you progress.</p>
<p>Finally, there is the Fatty Bear's Paint Set activity, which has 35 pictures to color. Although there are 5 basic colors in the palette, you can also mix up different colors - even different shades.</p>

<p><em>AlphaMan</em> is a roguelike game in a futuristic/post-apocalyptic setting. Like most other roguelike games it is a "light" RPG (few stats, no character creation, no distribution of points on level-up) and uses ASCII graphics. Unlike other roguelike games, it offers you a choice of difficulty settings, allows you to save at any time and have multiple characters parallely.</p>
<p>The ultimate goal of the game is to locate the Grinch's stronghold and beat this powerful and psychotic enemy. To do so, you must first enter five other castles and beat the respective bosses there, each time gaining an indispensable item. The name of these bosses and castles shows a strong humorous element (Gilligan in the castaways' fortress; Buzz Aldrin, cult leader of These Who Came In Second).</p>

<p><em>Dizzy Dice</em> is a gambling game simulating a fruit machine. You start with a fixed amount of cash. As you play and get winning combinations, you'll have to choose whether to collect or gamble what you've won. After completing the fruit machine game, you'll get the chance to play a dice game where you have to guess if the next throw will be higher or lower than the current one. </p>
<p>Dizzy Dice features two game modes. The first one you play as a normal fruit machine. But then there also is the bank mode, where you start with $20 and need to reach $100 to break the first bank. In total there is five banks, each requiring more cash to win. The game is controlled using the keyboard.</p>

<p><em>Putt-Putt &amp; Fatty Bear's Activity Pack</em> contains 15 different games and activities for kids 3-8. This is a compilation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/757/putt-putts-fun-pack/">Putt-Putt's Fun Pack</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20950/fatty-bears-funpack/">Fatty Bear's Fun Pack</a>, along with four new games. Most of the games are played against either Putt-Putt or Fatty Bear. </p>
<p>Some games are traditional, such as Tic-Tac-Toe, Checkers, Reversi, or the card game Go Fish.</p>
<p>Others are renamed versions of popular games.
"Remember!" is basically Concentration, a memory game.
"The Cheese King" is Hangman, while the "On-Ramps &amp; Off Ramps" is the board game chutes &amp; ladders. "Word Hunt!" is the device in puzzle books where you find words in letter grids.
In "Guess It!", you use logic to figure out which fruits are used and which locations they've been placed in. "Lines &amp; Boxes" is another logic game, making boxes by drawing lines between a grid of dots. Finally, Tangrams is a spatial recognition game, fitting pieces into different shapes. </p>
<p>Most of these games have multiple difficulty levels. Although designed for children 3-8, many of the games should give even parents the occasional run-for-the-money at the hardest level.</p>
<p>Finally, there are four games just for fun:
In "Circus Stormin'" - a side-scrolling arcade game - you control Putt-Putt up and down, moving him around obstacles and having him pick up balloons. There's also a sliding tiles (logic puzzle) game with slightly varying images, and a Pachinko pinball where you can create your own 'field' of 6x11 bumpers and the balls make amusing sounds when they hit. There's also a 35-page in-game coloring book with 16 mixable palette slots.</p>

<p><em>Adventure Master</em> is one in a series of adventure creation programs that were popular in the mid-80s and allows you to create text-adventures with some graphics.</p>
<p>The system uses a simple two-word parser, so you are limited to commands like "Go North" or "Get Thingamajig". The creation process is not overly complex: You can create rooms, objects and descriptions and add graphical illustrations and words to the parser. Graphics are limited to 160x96 4-color mode; there is also a limit of about ten pictures per created game </p>
<p>It also included one complete and two unfinished sample adventures:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Becca in Outlaw Cave</em></li>
<li><em>Clever Catacombs</em> (finished)</li>
<li><em>Wild Trails</em></li>
</ul>

<p><em>Animal</em> is a product tie-in to Unilever brand Peperami, a spicy pork salami sausage. The 'Peperami Animal' was launched in 1993 advertising with the slogan 'It's a bit of an animal'.</p>
<p>This surreal adventure takes place in the town of Snackopolis, where tension between cookies, vegetables and other snack-creatures is on the rise. Just before the mayoral election, the current mayor and top candidate Dr. Pepereinstein is kidnapped while he is cloning Peperami. In addition, the cloning device was tampered with, with horrible results. As Peperami, a walking and talking sausage, you investigate and seek to rescue the mayor and to clean up the mess left from the cloning.</p>
<p>You explore over 130 hand painted locations around the city, talk to other snacks to find clues, solve puzzles, and fight the bad guys. The game is a traditional point and click adventure with the exception of two <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Doom:+Evil+Unleashed">DOOM</a>-style first-person shooter sections at the end of the game.</p>

<p>A dragon is terrorizing the kingdom of Balema, and King Galt send his champion, named Gorn, to solve the problem. The player takes the role of a nameless advisor, who has to help the strong, but not very intelligent Gorn to get rid of the dragon and save his homeland.</p>
<p><em>The Quest</em> was one of the first graphic adventures that incorporated full sentence parsing. Unlike most other adventures, the commands the player inputs do not refer to the playable character. Rather, as the playable character, the player gives those commands to Gorn. Instead of just entering short verb commands, the player is able to type relatively complex instructions, that have to be understood by Gorn in order to perform the necessary action.</p>

<p>The Complete Universal Military Simulator is a compilation which brings together <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3098/ums-the-universal-military-simulator/">UMS: The Universal Military Simulator</a> along with its sequel <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3431/ums-ii-nations-at-war/">UMS II: Nations at War</a> and the editor <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/61064/ums-ii-nations-at-war-planet-editor/">UMS II Planet Editor</a>.

<p>In addition to the scenarios originally released with <em>UMS II</em>, included in this package are new scenarios for <em>UMS II: Operation Desert Storm</em> and the American Civil War.</p>

<p><em>United States Quiz</em> is a freeware educational game that quizzes the player on the most important aspects of the states in the United States. There are ten quizzes one can take categorized as: guessing States' capitols, Largest cities, Abbreviations, Songs, Birds, Flowers, Mottoes, Nicknames, Dates of entry and Ranks of entry into the Union. Each of these quizzes features a timer counting down the player's chance to get the answers right. If an incorrect or misspelled answer is given it can be corrected later. Strict spelling can be toggled, as can the sound.</p>

<p>This is a shortened tribute to the original Number Munchers made by Mecc. It is an educational game for grades 3-8. It teaches you six different types of math multiples, factors, primes, equality, inequality and challenge. Their are unlimited levels and their is a highscore along with the game. The game still features all the troggles and their is a safety grid to keep you safe from getting eaten by the troggles, it will also make the troggles disappear if they touch it.</p>
<p>The game does not feature any cartoon shorts after every three levels like in the original version. There is also a different menu and everything moves faster than in the original version.</p>

<p>This is a winter sports game that lets you compete in five Olympic events: Downhill skiing, Biathlon, Slalom, Ski Jump and Bob Sled. It is very similar to offerings like <a href="/search/?q=Winter+Games">Winter Games</a> from Epyx.</p>
<p>In Downhill skiing, you must avoid the obstacles and make it to the bottom of the hill, by swerving left and right and adjusting your speed by pushing the joystick forward and back. The Slalom is similar, involving skiing around flags.</p>
<p>In the ski jump, you must position the skis for a proper landing. In the bobsled event, you must carefully control the angles so your bobsled doesn't flip. The Biathlon event combines skiing to shooting ranges and shooting the targets archery-style.</p>

<p>This is a shareware version of the classic board game Battleship by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/2767/milton-bradley-co/">Milton Bradley</a>.</p>
<p>Two players have a grid of boxes. You use your mouse to decide where your ships should go, and compete to try to find and sink your opponents ships.</p>
<p>There is a win record menu that tells how many time you won and lost or drew. Options include whether the game has a 10 x 10 or 15 x 15 board, and allow you to choose between a single shot or salvo shooting, and whether you can use Cluster bombs, Cruise missiles and Smart Bombs, and you can use Ship resources or Fleet resources. There are Beginner, Intermediate or Expert skill levels, and you can decide who goes first, with the option of this being decided randomly.</p>

<p>A puzzle game where the main goal is to make loops! Random pieces are presented over a board, including simple lines and corners as well as S bends and other warped shapes, of varying sizes. It is up to the player to link them up in a loop form, then moving on to the next level. Pieces can be placed on any empty space on the grid, and rotated into one of the four main compass directions.</p>
<p>Any pieces which are not part of the finished loop when a level is completed are left on the screen, so there is value in playing towards 2 distinct loops, to ensure that you have options depending on which pieces are drawn - unlike <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2112/pipe-dream/">Pipe Dream</a> there are no clues as to which pieces are coming next.</p>
<p>Three play modes are available, two of which can be played with two players. Game A is freestyle - simply make loops, gaining extra points for size and style. </p>
<p>Game B is about unlocking bonus boards of the game by reaching a certain score and uses a bonus multiplier method depending on loop difficulty.</p>
<p>The third mode of play begins with an already made loop and then removes random pieces of it, so the player has to put them back in when they appear again. It is essentially a memory test and logic puzzle of fitting the pieces back as one remembers - although placing a piece where it seems to fit is also often effective.</p>

<p>During the reign of the Middle Ming dynasty (15th and 16th century), China was split into several focuses of power and as a result plunged into chaos. The rumor of the secret knowledge known as "five poisons" appeared again. The corrupted chief of secret police, Yan Chongying, befriended the famous pirates Yanmo and Wutian and used his power to persecute brave generals and innocent people. In Western China, in the Uighur (East Turkestan) region, an illegal religion wants to avenge the dead and to prevent Yan Chongying from controlling the entire land. Japanese ships are cruising near the shores of China. Everywhere there are battles, and the future of China is dark. This is where Zhang Zhiqiu, the third pupil of Chaoshan school of kung-fu, enters the picture. Even though he is only twenty years old, and his origins are unknown, he is the only one who can stand against the forces of evil and to restore peace in China.</p>
<p><em>Xiake Yingxiongzhuan</em> is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game set in a concrete historical period in China. The game features hand-drawn graphics and top-down view for exploration. The heroes travel over the world map, entering towns and hostile areas, where the party fights randomly appearing enemies and bosses. The combat uses a dynamic pseudo-3D over-the-shoulder perspective with animated attacks. The characters can attack physically or cast spells which require magic points, in a standard RPG fashion. It is also possible to mine the ground for valuable materials that can be later used to craft items and equipment.</p>

<p>A non-interactive demo (slideshow) of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/26289/virtual-chess/">Virtual Chess</a> has been thrown in as well.</p>

<p>You must fly an F14-LBC "Rapier" on a series of missions all along Colombia. You've land missions like free flight, destroy drug labs, bomb drug refineries, destroy drug stores and destroy drug convoy. You've aircraft carrier missions like free flight, destroy enemy aircraft carriers, destroy drug ships and destroy enemy oil supplies. 
In the air you can fight the MiG-27, Su-27, MiG-29 and MiG-31 armed with heat or radar guided missiles!</p>
<p>You can choose to be an existing pilot or to create a new one. 
You can choose between 2 levels of difficulty: beginner (less enemy attacks) or expert (the most dangerous).
The weather will affect the mission. The good weather will be great for training, and the stormy will be dangerous but great for attacks, as you can hide into the clouds and approach the enemy unnoticed.
You'll have a copilot that will help you telling what's going on every moment. 
You can avoid missiles using your skills, using chaff or... if you can't, you can use your parachute!</p>

<p>This tennis simulation recreates all the rules of the sport, from tie-breaks to break points. The action is viewed from behind one of the players, also featuring a split-screen option. You can play singles and doubles matches over 1,3 or 5 sets. There are 4 different types of court - grass, quick, hard and clay. You can play single matches, practice using a ball machine which fires a succession of shots at you, or play a season made up of major tournaments such as the Grand Slam events, the Masters and the ATP Cup. Player abilities can be adjusted to suit different styles of play.</p>

<p>This edition of the second game licensed around England footballer Paul Gascoigne combines arcade action and management. A four-division Super League of top European clubs is featured, with the potential for multiple managers to play. You can buy, scout for and sell players, and set up individual tactical systems.</p>
<p>The in-game action has a side-scrolling view and close ball control. The game is tolerant of tough tackles, as these are usually successful and rarely result in a foul. You can swerve, chip and head the ball in any direction.</p>

<p>The featured 18 hole course is the Fazio Course located in Barton Creek, designed by architect Tom Fazio. The course is one of the four championship courses located at the Barton Creek Country Club in Austin, Texas. Also included is a photo tour of the Barton Creek course and facilities.</p>

<p><em>Pick 'n Pile</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>-style puzzle game. On each level there are a variety of symbols arranged in columns on the screen. By moving the symbols around, you need to create columns which contain identical symbols; once all the symbols in a column are the same, that column disappears. Your goal is to earn points and complete the levels by making all of the symbols on the screen disappear. Occasionally, you may become stuck with a symbol that doesn't match anything onscreen; when this happens, you can call for an additional symbol to drop onto the screen. However, as the symbol which appears is random you may need to create quite a few symbols before the one you need appears. Each level has a time limit in which it needs to be completed; run out of time and you lose a life; lose all lives and the game is over.</p>
<p>In addition to the regular symbols, there are also some special objects on the screen which may help or hinder your progress. These include bombs which destroy several symbols at once, blocks which may get in the way or be arranged to help out, death heads which diminish time more quickly, and flower pots which can't be moved.</p>

<p>You have a Tetris-like board with three different types of viruses. Your job is to get rid of them by putting four or more of the same colored pill on each of them. The pills are colored red, blue, yellow, and green. If you pile different colored pills on other different colored pills, they will not disappear.

The Adventures of Alice who Went Through the Looking-Glass and Came Back Though Not Much Changed

<p>As in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/118218/lewis-carroll/">Lewis Carroll</a> work, Victorian girlchild Alice Liddell avoids doing her tedious homework (<em>"Could there possibly be" you think "a better day to go out and play and avoid studying Mathematics?"</em>) by escaping into a whimsical wonderland filled with bizarre characters. Many of the major characters (Cheshire Cat, Jabberwock) and locations (tea party, croquet game) in the stories make appearances in the game, though the plot is considerably streamlined, with occasional injections of anachronistic narration (<em><strong>&gt;READ VORPAL SWORD</strong> -- It says "American Express Blade. Don't leave the garden without it."</em>)</p>

<p>In an adaptation certainly <em>not</em> endorsed by PBS, this game puts the player in the shoes of a sociopathic Beavis and Butthead-style radical stoner anarchist (of the ~1992 variety), hepped up on H/P/A t-files and prepared to vent his disgust at all the problems of the world on one moronic purple dinosaur and the other participants on his show, through doping with narcotics to sabotage and booby-traps to, most of all, cartoonishly stylized (more Bakshi than WB) and couldn't-care typo-ridden ultraviolence.</p>
<p>The game plays almost as a multiple-choice test on the Jolly Roger's Cookbook, with player input restricted to selecting from a psychedelically-coloured text list how he or she intends to ruin various innocuous activities associated with the show, such as snack time (by injecting the orange with vodka, perhaps?), singing a song together (while substituting in obscene new lines) or visiting the zoo (and selling kids into slavery or feeding Baby Bop to an alligator while there.) (While taking the kids to a GWAR concert is undeniably subversive, it does strain the suspension of disbelief.)</p>
<p>The player is given regular status reports on the current state (of health and sobriety) of all the kids on the show; the ultimate goal is to render the entire cast unfit to perform further by the end of a week's worth of infiltrated episodes, following which the player may get to gather huge bonus points in an endgame sequence where Barney is fought to the death in a shopping mall.</p>
<p>Though the gameplay is single-player, as a BBS door game callers would compete with each other for showings on the high-score table; in later versions of the software, dedicated fans were also granted the opportunity to submit scripted modules consisting of new, further deranged anti-social activities to run the kids through.</p>

<p>SysOp <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/20323/seth-a-robinson/">Seth Able Robinson</a> puts his money where his mouth is and cobbles together a BBS door game for his Amiga board after finding a dearth of other similar offerings for his platform. The framework is textbook RPG -- choose your class, fight monsters to loot money to upgrade equipment and earn experience points to advance in levels until you become sufficiently hardened through battle to vanquish the Red Dragon, scourge of the land. (Really, that's the whole story!) Input is handled through multiple choice selections; output is dished up as colourful text.</p>
<p>The above minimalist formula doesn't yet describe the makings of a successful game until you factor in a few additional elements -- the unexpected complexity suggested by unpredictable random events manifesting just when you think you've got the gameplay down pat on auto-pilot; the lackadaisical sense of rude &amp; lewd adolescent humour (whatever, dude) permeating the fantasy world, more Rabelais than <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/47273/j-r-r-tolkien/">Tolkien</a>; and, of course, playing against your friends, not just to compete against their high score, but directly pitting your character in combat against theirs (played by the computer) -- then looting their corpse to add insult to injury and boost your bragging rights, broadcast in the daily bulletin to all active players!</p>
<p>Individual SysOp customizations and an explosion of user-made IGMs (in-game modules) expand the play experience enormously from board to board, leaving the player with a vague notion of the framework of what they're going to get next... but keeping the specifics sufficiently jumbled with selections from a deep bag of tricks to keep them on their toes.</p>

<p>In <a href="/search/?q=Driller">Driller</a>, the Ketars attempted to blow up the moon Mitral, but you stopped them. Now, they have Energy Collection Devices collectively known as ECDs, and hope to stock them up to use towards the Zephyr One device, and direct its energy at the planet Evath, resulting in a catastrophic radiation overload. </p>
<p>Your mission is to beam onto their base on the moon Tricuspid and destroy the ECDs. Destroying one will buy you more of your limited time. The problem is, many are connected to at least 2 others, and those can immediately regenerate, so you must tackle them in an order in which those with only 1 connection are attacked first.</p>
<p>You are inside a spacesuit, propelled by a Jet Pack with limited fuel, and possess lasers and a shield. Shield energy is limited but can be recharged through pentagons and rods. In a world viewed through the Freescape 3D system, you roam the verdant planet of trees, buildings, and underground tunnels.</p>
<p>Gameplay in <em>Dark Side</em> has more action than its predecessor, <em>Driller</em>. The Freescape world has a third dimension - due to the jetpack you can leave the ground and look down on the view. You can also rotate the angle, change the length of your steps, make quick U-turns, and look up or down. The jetpack uses energy at a fast rate, so use this feature sparingly. You must avoid the security turrets called Plexors, which shoot lasers and weaken your shield, and deflector devices, which can beam you into prison.</p>

<p><i>Rebel Moon</i> is a first-person shooter bundled exclusively with the Creative Labs 3D Blaster PCI or VLB 2D/3D accelerators. The game is only compatible with a video card utilizing the Rendition Verite 1000 Chipset.</p>
<p>The game takes place in the middle of the twenty-first century as rebels of the Lunar Defense Force (LDF) prepare to wage a war of independence for the moon throughout twenty-some colonies settled there. For decades, the lunar colonists had felt oppressed as they began to hold less and less sway in trade policies and executive decisions carried out for them on the behalf of the Earth. Though their numbers and armaments small, the beleaguered lunar colonists had finally reached their breaking point, and declared themselves independent of the Earth.</p>
<p>The United Nations, who had assumed total power over the lunar colonies, was furious and desperate at the development. The lunar colonies were absolutely necessary to feeding of the citizens of Earth, and due to this the United Nations could not possibly stand to accept anything but total victory over the Lunar Defense Force. However the LDF does not plan to lose: To them, they are fighting for their homeland and plan to defend it at all costs. That is where you come in...</p>
<p>The game features many different styles of mission goals: objectives ranging from sabotage (where the player must find and destroy enemy infrastructure), seek-and-destroy (where the player and other LDF soldiers must eliminate an enemy stronghold), and even defense missions (where the player and an allotment of LDF soldiers must successfully defend a Rebel objective). Depending on the type of mission, the player will be allotted a specific number of LDF soldiers in reserve to back up the player's main force. Managing the numbers of those reserve soldiers could spell victory or disaster in some missions. The player has a large arsenal of futuristic weapons at his/her disposal, ranging from laser pistols to chain-fed rail-guns and plasma rifles.</p>

<p><em>Championship Manager 96/97</em> is a re-release of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/463/championship-manager-2/">Championship Manager 2</a> with seasonal updates for the 1996/1997 season. The game starts with the new season, and players, managers and teams have been brought up to date, with revised histories for the English and Scottish players. It also includes bug fixes, gameplay balancing and improvements. Next to the technical aspects, it introduces the Bosman ruling that allows professional football players in the European Union to move freely to another club at the end of their term of contract with their present team.</p>

<p><em>L’affaire Morlov</em> is a spy thriller in which you play Paul Keirn, a journalist for the newspaper "Liberation". Your girlfriend Virginie has been kidnapped and you are framed for a murder. You have 48 hours to clear your name and rescue Virginie. The game takes place from the first-person perspective, with all the action going on in real time. Similar to numerous other detective games, your key tasks are to talk to the right people, search each location thoroughly for clues, and study photographic evidence. The game features full-motion video and includes some adult scenes. To travel around in Paris the game provides a map.</p>

<p>In Talisman, an evil and powerful genie is destroying the Persian Empire. When the game starts, you are in prison and about to be executed. With your head already on the chopping block, the execution is halted by order of King Darius. He grants you freedom when you destroy the evil genie. He sends you on your journey with a bag of gold and the vizier Abu who will keep an eye on you.</p>
<p>Talisman is an interactive fiction with graphics that allows for full-sentence parsing. The packaging includes an "Arabian Express" credit card and  an advertisement leaflet from Muhammad's Market, containing ads for flying carpets.</p>

<p>A paragon of minimalist gaming, this debut piece of interactive fiction compounds the increasingly-popular "one-room game" sub-genre with a further elegant restriction -- the room ("the middle of a pretty town square in the center of a nondescript New England town") contains only a single object, the titular phone booth (shiny, metal, and, defying conventional use, welded shut). The title, a simple assertion of cause and effect, taunts and challenges the player, offering only a direct avenue to an unsuccessful game end; the onus is on the player to determine something, <em>anything</em>, more satisfying to do with the booth in question. "...there's not much to see or do here, but maybe you'll find something amusing and enjoyable to do."</p>
<p>The game is so slight, consisting of this solitary, single-step puzzle, as to practically be a riddle or logic problem; if there were more of them they might be one-liners zinged off by a zen comedian. As it is, the "game" (such as it is) is barely bite-sized -- but still worth a nibble.</p>

<p><em>Xenopods</em> is a futuristic overhead tank shooter. The year is 3871, and you take the role of a lone survivor on a frontier outpost that's been attacked by sinister-looking alien larvae. As pilot your security drone around each sector, you must repair the communication links to alert the Federation. However, the aliens will do everything they can to sabotage your work on your crucial mission.</p>

<p>A mathematical game with a twist: you are given a four by four equation lattice with the symbols and numbers missing. Your job is to fill in the squares so that all the equations across and down are correct. You have a set of numbers and symbols at the bottom of the screen that you can choose from and as you use them they disappear from the bottom of the screen and appear in the boxes you assign them.</p>
<p>The Apple II version of this game has hi-res graphics. The PC version of this game was <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=John+Romero">John Romero's</a> first PC game ever and was written in Pascal while the game display was done in colored text mode.</p>

<p>This is a very short and simple EGA game that helps children estimate what animals are bigger or smaller than each other.  A series of zoo animals are shown, two per screen, and the question of which is bigger or smaller is given and the player presses the 1 or 2 keys and gets feedback on correctness.  After 10 screens of "weighed" animals, the player is given his/her total score.</p>

<p>This is a very simple EGA game that displays a screen with four images  of random items and the child chooses whether all the images are the same or if one of them is different.  After answering YES or NO, feedback is given on correctness (if one image is different and the child answers incorrectly the image flashes on the screen to show them where the differing image is located) and the child then goes on to the next screen of images.  Ten sets of images are played through and the game ends with the child's score displayed.</p>

<p>This is an unusual take on the football management game, which features virtually no statistics. Up to four managers can join in, to lead their chosen team through the World Cup, from qualifying to the actual tournament. Tactics and training are hugely important due to the game's short time frame.</p>
<p>The players each have individual personalities, and these have been factored in during the game. Sometimes players will drink too much, fall in love, or have personality clashes with their team-mates or with you, all of which have to be factored in. The press will ask you loaded questions, so be careful how you answer.</p>
<p>At half-time in each match you can single out a particular player for praise or criticism - if the team feels that you were unfair, their performance might fade. The World Cup is emulated accurately, other than having 2 points for a win instead of 3. The colourful match graphics and oil-painted stills are the same in style as those in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7046/anstoss/">the League Edition</a>.</p>

<p><em>Evidence: The Last Report</em> is a detective adventure, in which you play Daniel Singer, a reporter for Channel Z. Your former girlfriend and co-worker Sarah Hopkins has been murdered and because you recently broke up with her, you are considered to be the prime suspect. You have a few hours to discover the real killer and your job isn’t easy, as there are people in high places involved that will try to stop you.</p>
<p>Evidence is a point-and-click adventure with some real-time 3D action scenes that can be skipped. Those include shoot-em-up and beat-em-up sequences, and boat and car races.</p>

<p>After a nuclear holocaust in 2050, the last survivors of the civilized world formed a sanctuary on a small island in Europe, called Quarea. The island is ruled by demons that are good and bad, but the leader, Arrut Loopaz, is pure evil.  He lives in the ruins of an ancient city on the island, the forbidden zone known as “Detritus”.</p>
<p>You play the part of Nikki, whose boyfriend Toni has been kidnapped by Arrut Loopaz. Your task is to find clues and solve puzzles in order to rescue Toni in this point-and-click game.</p>

<p>As a tiger trainer, you will have to put the tiger's through their various tracks. You have to do various stunts, like corkscrews and somersaults, on the trapeze.</p>
<p>As a tight rope walker, you need to go from one side to the other, doing handstands and somersaults along the way. There is also a lady daredevil that you do stunts with from the back of a horse.</p>
<p>If you do the international competition, you will have to do certain tricks for the trapeze, tight rope walker, horse trick-rider and make the tigers go through all the tricks in their routine.</p>

<p>The world has been attacked by the three Serpent Riders from the Abyss. Their mysterious power makes people obey and follow them like sheep. Only the ancient Sidhe elves are immune to the Riders' influence, which led to them being branded heretics. With most of their work done, the two elder Riders leave, leaving only D'Sparil, the youngest and weakest Rider, behind to oversee the oppression. He sends the armies of the Seven Kings against the Sidhe, who have no choice but to extinguish the Seven Candles, vanquishing the armies. The retribution is swift and hard, and most of the elves are destroyed. Now, one of the last remaining Sidhe must take the fight to D'Sparil himself, being the only hope his world has left.</p>
<p><em>Heretic</em> is the first game in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/129/heretic-and-hexen-series/">Heretic / Hexen franchise</a>. It uses the engine from id Software's <a href="/search/?q=DOOM">DOOM</a> and transplants that game's first person shooter gameplay into a fantasy setting.</p>
<p>Like <em>DOOM</em>, <em>Heretic</em> consists of three distinct episodes, playable in any order, the first being available as shareware. The hunt for D'Sparil begins in the <em>City of the Damned</em>, continues in the alternate dimension of the <em>Hell's Maw</em> and comes to an end in <em>The Dome of D'Sparil</em>. Every episode consists of nine levels, one of them a hidden one. The goal in each level is to find the exit, killing everything standing in one's way. Keys must be found and buttons pressed to advance. Enemies include gargoyles, golems, undead knights, sorcerers, ophidian beasts and more. Most enemies exist in several varieties: some have additional range attacks, others have ghost forms and are impervious to certain weapons.</p>
<p>The weapon arsenal is large and varied: the basic weapons are a wooden staff and the Elvenwand that shoots low-damage magic bullets. More powerful equipment must be found: the Ethereal Crossbow dispenses a spread of arrows doing high damage, but at a low firing rate. The Dragon's Claw and Hellstaff shoot with a higher frequency: the Claw hits enemies instantly, the Staff's energy bullets need to travel to them first. The Phoenix Rod fires explosive charges and must be handled with care. The Firemace unleashes steel metal projectiles that bounce across the room towards the enemy. A better melee weapon than the wooden staff are the Gauntlets of the Necromancer, which dispense deadly energy.</p>
<p><em>Heretic</em> goes beyond <em>DOOM</em> in certain aspects. The engine has been enhanced with the ability to look up and down and the ability to fly, and wind currents pushing the player in (often unwanted) directions have been added. Also new is an inventory system. Many different power-ups can be collected and then be used at the correct time. These include health flasks, invisibility and invincibility upgrades, time bombs, and torches to light dark rooms. The Morph Ovum transforms enemies into chickens for easier dispatching, the Wings of Wrath allow one to fly, and the Tome of Power gives all weapons a substantial upgrade: projectiles become more powerful or split up upon impact; the Phoenix Rod becomes a flamethrower and the Gauntlets remove life force from an enemy and transfer it to the player.</p>
<p><em>Heretic</em> includes the same multiplayer options as <em>DOOM</em>: both cooperative team play and competitive deathmatch are included.</p>

<p>In <em>C.I.T.Y. 2000</em> (City in Trouble Year 2000) the player is Jon Daring, an American secret agent. The date is 1st January 2000. John is just trying to get some rest after completing Mission Idaho successfully, when the phone rings and some illustrious contact from British Intelligence asks him to come over to London. His mission is to infiltrate and to prevent the evil drug Lord S. Rooter taking control over England’s capital city.</p>
<p><em>C.I.T.Y. 2000</em> is an inventory based point and click game with traditional puzzles, including - as it should be in a spy game - various encrypted messages that the player has to decrypt. To travel around the game includes a map. The game includes digitized color photos of famous places in London such as the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square and the Tower of London and full motion video scenes.</p>

<p><em>Secret Mission</em> plays in Opalia, a small kingdom in south-east Asia in the 1950s. Because of its geographical position the two superpowers, the USSR and the USA, are highly interested in the country. Their agents have destabilized the country, and local rebels, led by Prime Minister Vishaka, plan to assassinate the king. You play Jeff, a double agent, and when you arrive in Opalia, you are ambushed. You wake up in your hotel without remembering who you are and what you are doing here. Soon you learn who you are and what your mission is: to find evidence for the Minister's devious scheme. A complicated mission, as both countries are after his plan and both have their own motives. </p>
<p>Secret Mission is an inventory-based adventure with a big variety of puzzles, including the for the genre familiar ones (decoding messages, cracking safes). The game is completely controlled by the keyboard and features voices and subtitles.</p>

<p>NET:Zone is a science fiction adventure set in the world of virtual reality. You play Newton, son of Zel Winters, the Managing Director of the CYCORP Corporation, who went missing a year ago. The police has returned your father’s belongings and after cracking his VR Interface you find an SOS message that reveals that his former colleagues are planning to take control of the global computer network. Of course you want to know what has happened and you access the neural interface to follow in your father’s footsteps. </p>
<p>Net:Zone is a 1st POV point and click adventure that plays in a 3-D rendered world where you are able to pan around 360 degrees. The player gets a PDA that holds the map and inventory and that can be used to receive messages, to make notes and to interact with computer terminals. The package includes as a goodie the scrap book of Newton Winters.</p>

<p>Somewhere in the Old West lies Silverload, an old mining time. It has once been a vibrant, silver boom-town, but now it has become a ghost town, surrounded by perpetual storms. The town’s decline has started with a disastrous earthquake, but it may also be caused by an Indian curse, because the mine was built on land sacred to the Skaedi tribe. 
You play the part of a bounty hunter who has been hired by the people of Silverload to find one of their children. The parents claim that it is kidnapped by "the monsters of Silverload". If you survive long enough, you will discover the town’s dreadful secret. 
Silverload is a 3rd POV, inventory-based point and click adventure that belongs to the genre of horror adventures. It  includes a few arcade sequences: from time to time the player will become involved in gun fights. Silverload was originally developed for the Sony PlayStation.</p>

<p><em>Bob's Dragon Hunt</em> is an exercise in using filled polygons to simulate a three-dimensional dungeon crawl, wading through all variety of draconic enemies (hence the title) and their various venomous, magical and breath effects, depicted in creative (if non-standard) 16-color effects.</p>
<p>Beneath the glitter and "virtual reality" trappings lies a <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/rogue-variants">roguelike</a> in spirit. Unlike <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/992/dungeon-hack/">Dungeon Hack</a> and its brethren, navigation and control are rather nuanced, though the gameplay remains comparatively simple (hack, slash, repeat).</p>

<p>Cyberball is a pinball game where four tables are available: <em>Dooke</em>, inspired by underworld devils, <em>Enlightment</em>, with a space travel theme, <em>Air Crash</em>, about modern air combat and <em>Shark Attack</em>, where a treasure is hidden in the bottom of the sea, and guarded by sharks. Unlike other games, where tables follow a common rectangular playfield, in Cyberball they are square with two or more areas. The screen resolution selected affects scrolling: in the lowest "cyberview" mode (320x240), the playfield scrolls up and down, and using the "full view" (1024x768), everything is visible. Other options range from the number of players to tamper with game physics.</p>

<p>In this third installment of Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective your task is to solve three separate crimes by visiting various locations, listening to the dialogues and reading the in the package included mock London newspapers.

<p>Dick Tracy is a tie in to the 1990 movie adaptation of the classic comic strip, staring Warren Beatty and Madonna.
While an action/adventure hybrid using this license was released by Disney for the PC and Amiga, Titus also held a license to the movie.  This is a side scrolling action game, where you control Dick Tracy as he moves through five stages, shooting gangsters with an assortment of weapons.  Each stage leads to one of the mob bosses, until you ultimately capture the big man himself.</p>

<p>This is the third game in the Super Cars series of top-down view, arcade racing games from Magnetic Fields. As always, there is also a management portion available in the game (which is optional).</p>
<p>The game is basically a re-make of Super Cars II, with added elements, tweaked gameplay, updated 256-color VGA graphics and a new soundtrack.</p>
<p>The game lets you compete in three built-in seasons (easy, medium, hard) but also lets you customize your own seasons. All the 21 tracks seems to have been lifted from the previous title, but here you can choose the amount of laps and also race them in reverse.</p>
<p>If you are running a season using the "full" option, which means including the management portion, you have to buy your own cars to race with. This is done at a car dealer between each race, using a mini-game with different chat options to try to bring down the price. Each new car can carry more weapons and armor, and is also faster.</p>
<p>Weapons and armor can also be purchased between each race, as well as repairing any damage you have sustained. Prices vary between races, so there is a chance to gain money by using the weapons as commodities and trading with them. Some weapons have changed from the last game, and you now also have a button to select which weapon to fire while racing.</p>
<p>In addition several special events with similar mini-games as with the car dealer will appear between each race in the management mode (and there are several new events compared to the last game).</p>
<p>The core of the game, the race itself, takes place on various road courses with tunnels, jumps, railway crossings and gates that open and close. Though the game is an arcade racer, the cars behave somewhat realistically, with power-slides in corners and spin-outs when crashing (which is new to this game). All cars also leave skid marks and craters when they explode, which means that the track looks quite battle worn at the end of a race.</p>
<p>In addition to racing against the computer players, you can also race against a friend using a split screen mode.</p>

<p>Tony La Russa's Ultimate Baseball (named after the manager of the Oakland Athletics at the time) was Strategic Simulations' short-lived foray into sports games.  The simulation here is of a full season of major league baseball.  You can view statistics for every team, and play with one or two players, or manage teams while the computer plays through the season for you.  Players have injury records and performance streaks.</p>
<p>The game could be enhanced with several add-on disks, sold separately: Great Teams 1901-1968, A.L. Stadiums, N.L. Stadiums, Classic Stadiums, and Fantasy Manager, which let you draft players into new teams and leagues.</p>

<p>Play the role of Richard, who hasn't had some action for the past two years! After watching some eventful TV, the over-ambitious hero decides to go to New York and try to score with a cast member of a popular TV series. Help Richard obtain his goal!</p>
<p>Gameplay is still similar with its predecessor and other early Sierra text-based adventures. Type in 'verbs' to activate actions to progress in the game, especially when it comes to female subjects.</p>
<p><em>Fuck Quest 2</em> was created using the Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI) engine.</p>

<p>The great grand-daddy of all god games, <em>Hamurabi</em> puts the player in the shoes (well, sandals) of Hammurabi the Wise, ruler of ancient Sumeria. Though this king is best known historically for his codification of laws and edicts, composed and engraved in cuneiform tablets ~1780 BC, the game veers away from lawmaking and the pursuit of justice in favour of guiding your population of subjects to stable, contented growth. The game puts it, somewhat blandly, in other words:</p>
<p>YOUR TASK IS TO DEVELOP A STABLE ECONOMY BY THE WISE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR RESOURCES. YOU WILL BE BESET FROM TIME TO TIME BY NATURAL EVENTS.</p>
<p>Results of your actions are narrated to you in plain text; player input primarily consists of punching in numbers and selecting the occasional YES and NO (the end of every turn typically asking you DO YOU WISH TO ABDICATE?) into your keyboard, touchscreen -- or TeleType terminal. Gameplay and interaction are restrictive, but the minimalist number-crunching is foundational for all the managerial leadership games that followed: You can buy and sell acres of land, purchasing extra bushels of grain to sow in your fields or feed your populace if so needed. Between turns (only 10 on the iPhone version), citizens starve and are laid low by plagues, peasants immigrate to replace them, and vermin deplete your stores of grain reserves. One year is much the same as the next, though the particular numerical values shift according to elegant algorithms the deeper understanding of which will lead you to a fruitful and harmonious reign, concluding with enthusiastic congratulations from the computer:</p>
<p>A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE!!! CHARLEMAGNE, DISRAELI, AND JEFFERSON COMBINED COULD NOT HAVE DONE BETTER!</p>

<p>A choose-your-own-adventure text game set in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=West+End+Games">West End Games</a>' dementedly Orwellian <em>Paranoia</em> dystopian sci-fi universe, this sardonic romp casts the player as Philo-R-DMD (and, as easy death prevails time and again, his six clones), Troubleshooter for the Computer. The assignment this time is a holiday season hum-dinger:  </p>
<p>GREETINGS TROUBLESHOOTER. YOU HAVE BEEN SPECIALLY SELECTED TO SINGLEHANDEDLY WIPE OUT A DEN OF TRAITOROUS CHRISTMAS ACTIVITY. YOUR MISSION IS TO GO TO GOODS DISTRIBUTION HALL 7-BETA AND ASSESS ANY CHRISTMAS ACTIVITY YOU FIND THERE. YOU ARE TO INFILTRATE THESE CHRISTMAS CELEBRANTS, LOCATE THEIR RINGLEADER, AN UNKNOWN MASTER RETAILER, AND BRING HIM BACK FOR EXECUTION AND TRIAL. THANK YOU. THE COMPUTER IS YOUR FRIEND.</p>
<p>In short, the player is assigned to enter into a Byzantine den of Communist filth, nefarious mutants and sinister secret societies in the interest of aborting the subversive activities of one... <em>Santa Claus</em>. The Paranoia game universe being the tremendous set-up that it is, this naturally results in considerably more danger to the hunter (that is, <em>you</em>) than to the hunted.</p>
<p>Gameplay is very limited, with player input restricted to selecting from a couple of deceptive options (the trick being knowing which ones are employing reverse psychology and only being <em>deceptively</em> deceptive) -- sometimes as many as three but alternately occasionally as few as one, nominal user prompts moving fixed-rail action along. Frustratingly, some necessary game sequences (interspersed with unavoidable clone deaths) can only be triggered randomly. Nonetheless, for fans of the setting and the bureaucracy and totalitarianism of its black humour, it makes for at least a ticklish read.</p>

<p>A minigame for a three-hour Blender competition (#19) demanding works incorporating the three subjects "E.T.", "being scared" and "Stonehenge", this title adeptly strings them together, permitting the player to play <em>E.T.</em>, frying tourists who are <em>being scared</em> at <em>Stonehenge</em>... er, with destructive rays fired from the tip of his glowing finger. Plot niceties such as why E.T., the friendly extra-terrestial, has such anger at the tourists -- or since when his finger began packing such a payload -- are largely unexplored here.</p>
<p>As far as gameplay goes, the following can be said: the tourists run at varying speeds, and can only be shot when the finger is fully charged -- beyond these factors, the rule of the day is "if it moves, shoot it!"</p>

<p>In this installment (#40) of the Blender competition, participants were urged to submit works engaging the themes of "Superhero", "robbery" and "England". While Captain Britain is nice for traditionalists, the authors here have selected <em>Mad Cow Man</em> as the zany protector of the British Isles in the madcap late '90s. You search text-rich portions of London for his sidekick, Deep Fried Beef Fat Boy, last seen absentmindedly wandering the city in a hangover-induced amnesiac stupor. Collect clues and essential superhero supplies from Watford Station to Picadilly Circus and all points (well, several points) between, taking one of the least efficient routes possible between the grottiest bathroom in old London Towne and the convoluted subterranean labyrinths hidden in its sewers.</p>

<p>Kithe was an e-mag (electronic magazine) series that ran, on and off, for three years, primarily documenting the comings and goings of members of the computer art collective <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/7946/mistigris/">Mistigris</a> through text captures of postings to echomail networks, reformatted as articles. Oftentimes the conversational style was a poor fit for conventional publication, or a biting quip was just too short to publish on its own, and so these items were sat on until a suitable form of presentation could be devised. This form was, it turns out, the text adventure game -- where themes and topics of articles could inform the environment in which they were presented, and where polemics could be presented as emerging from the virtual mouths of the very personages who put them in writing... and most importantly, where people are going to be expecting to be reading lots of text anyhow.</p>
<p>Hundreds of articles are collected and thematically organized in different rooms, their specific display triggered (some more straightforwardly than others) by appropriate use of objects to which they are linked. Text adventure tropes (such as darkness) interfere with access to some areas, which become "unlocked" after the right object is found -- in return for reading, the player will be rewarded with... more to read!</p>
<p>A vague game lurks in the background of this surreal library-cum-adventure; some articles and some areas convey keywords necessary, as in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16070/beyond-the-tesseract/">Beyond the Tesseract</a>, for the nominal "completion" of the game -- but as in any good cave crawl, the reward here is really in thorough exploration.</p>

<p>This is an updated version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1085/roberta-williams-mixed-up-mother-goose/">Roberta Williams' Mixed-Up Mother Goose</a>. This version utilizes <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/17/sierra-entertainment-inc/">Sierra</a>'s SCI game interpreter and features enhanced graphics and sound.</p>
<p>The gameplay remains the same as the previous version; all of the nursery rhymes in Mother Goose Land have become mixed up! Your goal is to set things straight by locating missing items for each of the fairy tale characters in the land. When wandering around the land you can talk to the different characters (each from a different nursery rhyme) to find out what item it is they need; for example, Little Bo Peep is looking for her sheep and Jack Be Nimble lost his candle stick. The items are scattered about the land, and when you locate one pick it up and return it to the appropriate character. When successful, the complete nursery rhyme will play with the lyrics appearing on screen. You can only carry one item at a time, so you may need to remember where you spotted or dropped items not being carried! Also, each time the game is played objects will be in a new location. Included with the game is a map of Mother Goose Land which may help you locate the different fairy tale characters.</p>

<p>Essentially a limited <a href="/search/?q=Robotron:+2084">Robotron</a> clone (firing only in the direction of forward movement), Bob vs. the Mob sees your protagonist, a little stickman, running around a forested environment attempting to mow down the most assailants (more stickmen, apparently members of the criminal underworld) while expending the least ammunition, using a machine gun (for sharpshooters) and grenades (where a more ham-fisted approach is called for.)</p>

<p>Slater the Petrosaur, protagonist of Sierra's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1416/oils-well/">Oil's Well</a> remake, has got himself a buddy in the form of Charlie, another dinosaur of indeterminate species. Together, they visit various locations and undertake various tasks toward the end of enjoying a camping trip in the great outdoors together.</p>
<p>The game is presented as a series of static images, described in text at the bottom of the screen -- then optionally narrated for children whose reading skills aren't yet up to keeping up with the plot. After each description has been read, the illustrations can be interacted with like a pop-up book, numerous hidden hot spots on every page yielding zany + whimsical animations.</p>

<p><em>Hack</em> is the precursor to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/820/nethack/">NetHack</a>, both members of the family of text-based <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1743/rogue/">Rogue</a>-like games. Like other roguelikes, <em>Hack</em> is the quintessential computer role-playing game (RPG): Choose a character class and venture forth into the dungeon to fight monsters and gain treasure.</p>
<p>Like all descendants of <em>Rogue</em>, <em>Hack</em> is displayed from a top-down view, painted with text characters. The player ventures throughout the dungeon, visiting rooms connected by thin corridors. Gameplay is turn-based, with the turn beginning with the player's action (move, attack, eat, cast spell, etc.). Commands are mapped to various letters of the keyboard, including "i" for inventory, "e" for eat food, etc. with one exception: Attacking a monster involves running into it, so the "attack" function shares the same keys as movement.</p>
<p><em>Hack</em> is one of the first significant deviations from <em>Rogue</em>, notable by the rich interaction possible in the game world: Simple actions result in complex (yet logical) reactions. For example, it is not uncommon to throw a boomerang only to miss the target and have it return to hit the player; or kill a monster that has the ability to turn you to stone as an attack, then accidentally step on its carcass on the way out and turn to stone; or having a bolt of fire from a magic wand ricochet around the room, hit the player, and cause his magic scrolls to catch on fire; etc. In addition, monsters and objects have secondary, hidden properties; for example, killing and eating a leprechaun will result in the player randomly teleporting to different locations.</p>

<p>A tie-in to the 1984 film <em>The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension</em>, you play the ineffably <em>cool</em> Dr. Banzai: radical neurosurgeon, cutting-edge physicist, nemesis of nefarious criminal mastermind Hanoi Xan and lead guitarist of new-wave sensation the Hong Kong Cavaliers. (Unfortunately, you'll have to take our word for it, as the game doesn't make much use of these qualities).</p>
<p>As in the wacky movie, your goal here is ultimately to overcome a potentially planet-destroying bomb set by the Black Lectroids, inhabitants of Planet 10. Unlike the movie, you don't accomplish this by overcoming the Red Lectroids from the 8th Dimension with the assistance of Team Banzai and the Blue Blaze Irregulars -- instead you wander an eerily depopulated town to procure the necessary components (gasoline, sand, bauxite and "a special catalyst") to power up your <em>oscillation overthruster</em>-sporting jet-car and transmit cancellation codes to the bomb. The game uses a simple VERB NOUN text parser and, on some platforms, illustrates the scene with static images.</p>

<p>In the game, you are a small shaggy blue demon finding himself in a dungeon full of fallen angels, gargoyles, wasps, etc. Walking through them loses you energy, which is your life. So you have to run and jump avoiding them, collecting gems, blood drops, energy vials, and some sort of friend-demons such as eyes and tongues. On each level you have to find the keys to open a door to a magical cauldron guarded by a beautiful elf. Levels are decorated with statues of beautiful women, old men, dragons, swords, or eye walls.</p>

<p>Use your helicopter to land and save civilians in need while destroying any and all enemy hostiles in the vicinity!</p>
<p>Your helicopter is a fast gunship capable of quick maneuvers (left, up, down, right) and also equipped with a chain-gun (simply put, it can shoot). Your helicopter can also change directions by pressing the CTRL button, which is especially useful if you want to aim at ground targets.</p>
<p>As mentioned, your primary objective is to rescue those helpless civilians running around on the ground. To do so, you must carefully land your chopper on the ground and wait them to board your helicopter. Enemy hostiles may attempt to thwart your rescue attempts while possibly also killing those civilians. Killed civilians will cause a negative score (indicated by the score board) while rescued civilians will be indicated by a positive score.</p>

<p>In the puzzle-game you have to gather the pictures divided on 30 fragments placed on sides of bricks. You are allowed to rotate the group of bricks in vertical plane, to turn them over in horizontal plane, and to move them to new places. Less moves you made the higher rate you'll take. Pictures are devoted to the history of the America's conquest and must be gathered chronologically. When the picture is completed the player is "awarded" by funny music and animation.</p>

<p>Saving a failing restaurant may sound like a peculiar premise for a game, but any skepticism is forgotten at this diversion's base recipe for its salvation: to raise enough capital ($5 million) to purchase Flaming Sheinen's grill outright, you must take to the streets and delegate the revenue-generation to a small army of ladies of the night, who you will manage toward optimal profitability. While it's a strange formula it's also a straightforward one (as the game reminds upon startup, Note: Daily Profit = Cash + (Rate * Hours of all Whores) -- and it can't be denied that this game's lurid approach to supply-side economics is more titillating than your run-of-the-mill industry simulator.</p>
<p>Starting at the nowheresville intersection of 1st &amp; Main, you slowly build your empire, day by day, as you earn enough money to move uptown street by street, where your whores -- if suitably attired -- can increase their hourly rates by leaps and bounds (for after all, as the old chestnut has it, while lower-class whores get crabs, upper-class whores get nothing but lobster.) While your player doesn't make money the same way as his stable does, you still have the options of attempting to fatten your chequebook by trips to the casino or, for the bold, outright theft from other players.</p>
<p>Indeed, left to your own devices, winning this game would only be a matter of time -- but the presence of competitors in this game's dial-up BBS door game context means that you not only have to perform well but outperform your peers, or risk having the restaurant sold out from under you. This leads to a number of underhanded and despicable tactics -- you can burn down competing brothels, or hire an agent to impregnate or infect an opponent's working girls with venereal diseases... if you can't just persuade them to work for you instead, with a fancier wardrobe on a more prestigious corner. (Just make sure you dole them out enough condoms to remain part of your active workforce!)</p>
<p>The interface is a series of single-keystroke options selected from various textmode menus, with every action undertaken adding minutes to the clock. Once you hit late night, all you can do is sit back and wait for your employees to earn their commission. The following day, you get to find out what all your careful arrangements (and more to the point, what the other players' careful arrangements <em>against you</em>) amounted to.</p>

<p>The city finally having secured an eviction notice, the demolition contractor is contractually obligated to conduct an inventory of the Wizard of Wordplay's manor before knocking it down, clearing the spooky space for cheap condos or a mini-mall. The only problem is that with his peculiar and punny powers pervading the property, the poor prestidigitator's 
possessions pooh-pooh playing possum, putting punitive and perilous portents into play, preventing the project from proceeding. (<em>Phew!</em>)</p>
<p>Surely this is a job for a veteran text adventurer such as yourself! In your previous adventures, you only engaged grues and dwarfs <em>with</em> language -- here (as in spiritual predecessors <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/472/nord-and-bert-couldnt-make-head-or-tail-of-it/">Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/24229/t-zero/">T-Zero</a>), you're climbing into the ring with language itself, grappling everything from an abundance of asinine alliteration to dinosaur etymology within the first few rooms. Not since the raconting of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/563/racter/">Racter</a> has a text environment (Oulip)owed so much to the playful linguistic experimentation of the avant-garde and simpleminded -- a perplexing source of inspiration most works of interactive fiction have been only too eager to a void. Here at last, to triumph, you will have to truly demonstrate that the pen is mightier than the sword!</p>

<p>A small shareware strategy and action game for two players. There are 30 rounds with randomly generated terrain. In each round, every player gets assigned a team of small, humanoid beings called Clonks. One of them is the crew's captain and is of special importance, as the goal of each round is to exterminate the enemy's captain.</p>
<p>Later rounds add new elements to the game like rocks or exploding flints that can be thrown, rain, thunderstorms and wildfires, monsters, catapults, castles where Clonks can be healed, or gold nuggets that can be exchanged for new crew members.</p>

<p><em>Shade</em> is a text adventure game set in a single room, the protagonist's dilapidated apartment, as you prepare for a visit to the Burning Man-alike Death Valley Om Festival in the desert. The closer you get to being prepared to leave to the airport, the more problems befall you -- mundane ones at first, such as thirst and misplaced airplane tickets, and then, grain upon grain, a whole sandbox of more surreal ones suggesting that, as in the movie Jacob's Ladder, not all is as it seems.</p>
<p>With your only, inert, companions a revealing desert guidebook, a helpful task list and an esoteric radio tuned to what must be a campus station, you must ply the hallucinatory depths of a failing brain's rationalisations of its final few perceptions and determine if you're going to take a stand or be taken by sand.</p>

<p>When the next smallpox pandemic comes, none of our society's hubris will soften its devastating public health impact.  You inhabit the shoes ("play" is the wrong word entirely) of Dr. Peter Basham, in gentler times a pediatrician, working overtime to process the hideous and deformed smallpox victims, racked with pain, in a hospital of psychopomps only equipped to deliver mercy, not cures.  The social blows, though softer, are no less deleterious to our cultural framework: not only has the outbreak deprived you of your career and wife, but your conception of self and the very prospect of conducting a meaningful existence in the face of so much random and arbitrary suffering.  Meanwhile, angry mobs prowl the streets, outraged at the medical establishment's inability to effectively counter the unchecked ravages of disease.  You shadow Dr. Basham in his final attempt to keep his head above the rising tide of hopelessness and human misery.</p>
<p>In an unusually literal interpretation of the genre name "interactive fiction", the focus of this work is on conveying mood and atmosphere, using them to further a feeling of immersion in its grim story.  As such, it is less a "game" inasmuch as it contains no puzzles, and while it is possible to conclude the work by triggering one of several different bleak endings, the only metric by which it can be considered "won" is to read and experience as much of the optional content the setting is steeped in as possible.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/22549/clonk/">Clonk</a> adds a new game element to the concept. The classic action-oriented melee rounds are now part of a larger strategy part. Two to four players each get their own troops of Clonks, with which they set out to conquer towns and castles in a predefined or randomly generated hexagon map.</p>
<p>Whenever two troops of hostile players meet on a specific field of the game's map, the game switches to a combat round, in which both players take direct control over their Clonks to eliminate the opposite crew. Crew strength, landscape and weather depend on the actual situation in the strategy part.</p>
<p>Players also have to worry about taxes, diplomatics and the happiness of the population in their controlled territories.</p>

<p>Based on the famous animation series by Disney.</p>
<p>In the game, the player controls Chip helped by Dale (automatically controlled by computer), who break through the obstacles made by one of their archvillains, Professor Norton Nimnul. The Rescue Rangers go through 9 levels to save Monterey Jack caught in a mouse trap in Nimnul's castle.</p>
<p>On the first three levels, Rangers must get to Nimnul's castle jumping in and out of pits, avoiding the running dogs and falling acid drops thrown by Nimnul himself.</p>
<p>On the next set of three levels, Chip must avoid fire thrown from candles, collect screws, and give them to Dale as he runs away from dogs.</p>
<p>On the last three levels, Chip must avoid the machine with hands, collect screws, and give them to Dale running away from dogs.</p>
<p>Between levels, animations show how the player progresses in the game, such as, for example, Zipper transferring the screws collected by Rangers so Gadget can repair the flying machine.</p>

<p>The <em>Advanced Players Edition</em> of Clonk is an improved version of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/22549/clonk/">Clonk</a> game.</p>
<p>As in the first Clonk game, Clonk A.P.E. included the player roster concept, which remembers each player's data and statistics over time.</p>
<p>Instead of the predefined rounds of the original Clonk, the player can choose to play a randomly generated scenario, or customize one yourself. Further, the maximum number of players has been raised to 4 players simultaneously, and a couple of introductory tutorial rounds are available.</p>

<p>A competent one-man experiment into the top-down CRPG, pulled off with all the panache of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/15612/vampyr-talisman-of-invocation/">Vampyr: Talisman of Invocation</a> or, say, <a href="/search/?q=Ultima+III:+Exodus">Ultima 3</a>. The difference here is that the author rebels against the established conventions instead of playing to them, exposing the arbitrary design and story cliches plaguing the genre from the start and having a good time taking it down a few notches with a wicked discordian Subgenius sense of humour.</p>
<p>Unlike the irrelevant + unrelated mockery of <a href="/search/?q=Ultimuh">Ultimuh</a>, however, there is substance behind this parody: <em>Descension</em>'s homage delivers a credible game experience, albeit one a decade or so behind the times -- the look and feel of the stickmen's tile-based overland and palace maps could easily pass at a casual glance for actual screens from early members of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8812/ultima/">Ultima</a> series... it's only in the fine details that you can tell that this isn't being played straight. There's nothing so very unusual about being sent on a quest by Lord Finnish (guess they couldn't afford <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/483/richard-garriott/">British</a>)... until he tells you that he needs you to recover his children's book from the dreaded monster "Bunnicula." Is he making fun of you? No -- actually he directs you to the dungeon where it can be found. And sure, maybe "Mustard" <em>is</em> a peculiar name for a dungeon... but so is the canonical "Hythloth", so who am I to judge. The next weapon up from the Mace is the Herring? Well, I'm sure its smell is <em>quite</em> offensive. And while it is true that I've never seen a game with an esoteric (P)ush a plant option among the character's possible single-key actions, it's implemented beautifully and functions precisely as you'd expect. Goofy, but no worse than <a href="/search/?q=Space+Quest+4">Space Quest 4</a>'s tongue and nose action icons.</p>
<p>In short, it's no less a game for its lack of stony respect for its source material, delivering everything the originals did plus a hefty dose of doesn't-take-itself-so-seriously humour to mellow the repetitive (however classic) find-the-McGuffin, kill-the-Foozle gameplay.</p>

<p>Already the fourth game in the series, Clonk 3 Radikal added many new elements to the game. One player can play predefined missions or try to achieve peaceful goals such as selling all the gold, rescuing the fluffy Wipfs or killing all the monsters. The former goals can also be pursued by 2 to 4 players cooperatively on one computer, or they can decide to play a melee round in which each player tries to do the other teams in.</p>
<p>Every single Clonk can be controlled by the player, in contrast to the group-wise controls of the predecessors. Clonks also learned to swim and dive, dig in different directions and build bridges. 4-Way scrolling allows for bigger scenarios filled with new raw materials and endangered by volcanoes, earthquakes and hostile creatures.</p>
<p>A variety of new buildings, weapons, materials, vehicles and weather conditions to help or hinder the players actions make the game more complex and put a heavier weight on strategic thinking than classic Clonk games.</p>
<p>The game also includes a mission editor, with which players can create their own scenarios by creating a landscape and defining every aspect including weather, initial property and goals.</p>

<p><em>Bouncy Bee Learns Letters</em> is an educational game for children 4-8 designed to improve reading skills. The game includes several activities to help with recognition of letters in the alphabet:
1. <strong>Fantastic Flying Letters</strong>: In this game the letters of the alphabet are introduced by Bouncy Bee along with a noun picture word that begins with that letter. This activity gives children an opportunity to practice reading and saying the letters, as well as seeing lower and upper case variations and some words that use the letter.
2. <strong>Grandfather's Beehive</strong>: In this game various letters and symbols move on the screen from left to right; the space bar needs to be pressed when a letter that matches the given letter appears on the screen to earn points. This activity gives children practice moving their eyes from left to right as is done in reading as well as recognizing letters amongst various distractions.
3. <strong>Filling the Honeycomb</strong>: A honeycomb is displayed on screen with many sections displaying changing letters. Children guide Bouncy Bee around on the honeycomb and need to walk over each empty cell when a letter matching the given letter is displayed. When successful, this will fill that cell with honey the goal being to fill each of the cells as fast as possible.
4. <strong>Antagram Letter Game</strong>: Numerous ants in a field will slowly move around until they form the shape of a letter. The goal is to figure out what letter will be formed as quickly as possible. A correct answer earns a point, but an incorrect answer or time running out gives a point to the ants. The game is won by earning 10 points before the ants do.</p>
<p>The game features several customization options allowing multiple difficulty levels as well as selecting the order in which letters will be utilized in the games. Also included in the instruction manual are several stories which can be read to children to introduce each of the games.</p>

<p>Oy, mate! Travel through Australia and experience its culture in this comical adventure as you guide bush pilot "Down Under Dan" after he crash lands his plane in an unknown area. The game takes place in the span of 4 virtual days in which Dan encounters colourful locations, animals and characters (voiced in full speech) on a quest for blue opals in the outback where he might end up rich.</p>
<p>The game has photorealistic settings and uses digitized video animations. It has a standard adventure game inventory using Dan's backpack where appropriate items must be gathered and used in the correct place and manner. It also holds hints - the more you play, the more you can view.</p>

<p><em>8088 Othello</em> is a four-color ASCII graphic board game similar to Reversi. The game is for 1 player and you battle against the computer to get more of your pieces on a board. In every game you only play with the black pieces. There are five levels of gameplay that go from 1 (easiest) to 5 (hardest). The board you play on features coordinates in which you type in the order to pick a place for your pieces. However, your pieces will only go on lines that are either vertical, horizontal or diagonal to one of your previous pieces. You also have four options: pass, switch, unmove and quit at the main menu. The game does not feature any high scores.</p>

<p>A guy has fallen asleep in front of monitor showing <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>. You play the usual Tetris game filling a well with pipes, clocks, and other urban elements formed in tetris shapes. The twist is that guy mentioned above is walking at the bottom of the well. You have to make steps for him to climb to the exit of the well's wall to free him. When he is freed, your structure will clear up and you begin to set him free again and again. It is a real nightmare for the guy because the falling elements can kill him or make him a prisoner if you are not successful.</p>

<p>The Railroad Works allows you to construct your own model railroad.  Using scenery and shipping/receiving sites, you can make simple and complex layouts.  Once you have designed your layout, you can run one or two trains on the layout.</p>
<p>The game allows you to choose either steam or diesel engines and has five different types of rolling stock: boxcars, cattle cars, tank cars, passenger cars and a caboose.</p>
<p>More challenging tasks include moving cargo and people around between sites and keeping to a schedule.</p>

<p>One of the first games produced in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, <em>Sobor</em> is a beat-em-up featuring Russian peasants engaging in bitter hand-to-hand combat through their quest to defeat "Evil Forces", protecting the knowledge that was found contained in ancient scrolls describing Russian Sobor combat system.</p>
<p>The game is broken into stages alternating object courses and combat. The player controls the group of five fighters. In the very first stage they are trained in a sparring session, the player's performance defining their toughness for the rest of the game. </p>
<p>Obstacle stages involve passing by the Baba Yaga and other characters of the Russian folklore, or navigating a grid of lightning-shooting skulls.</p>
<p>The core of the game, however, is five-on-five brawls, where the player controls one of the fighters while other four are controlled by AI. The player can switch the controlled fighter at any time.</p>

<p><em>HappyLand</em> is a side scrolling platform jumping game that requires you to gather and lead happyland animals to the happyzones. You play a dog that receives instructions from various old men throughout the game. </p>
<p>Once you've lead enough animals to the happyzone, the level door opens and you can proceed to the next level. Of course, you can also stay and find all the goodies hidden in each level.</p>

<p>A common criticism of adventure games generally and works of interactive fiction specifically is that they oftentimes suffer from what have been characterized as "read-the-designer's-mind" puzzles -- making necessary apparently arbitrary (and sometimes seemingly absurd) actions that produce unreasonable-to-expect results; the puzzles look kosher in a walkthrough but only make sense to a player after the fact, knowing of their implausible effect. <em>Aisle</em> is the inverse: the designer has instead had to read the <em>player's</em> mind, predicting which actions, likely or unlikely, the player is apt to attempt in the somewhat under-stimulating environment (certainly an unusually pedestrian game setting) of the Italian foods section of a supermarket late one Thursday night.</p>
<p>The designer of any gaming environment will of course be expected to have some plan regarding how the player will interact with it, but here the rules are a bit askew from the convention: rather than the player wandering the market and interacting with objects contained there in the conventional adventuring fashion, gradually coming to some understanding of the game world and the forces motivating his passage through it, this game permits the player only <em>a single move</em>... that move triggering a memory, hinting at a roiling and turbulent backstory that can only be more fully appreciated by unlocking more recollections. But the story cannot progress; upon completion of the single move, the protagonist leaves the market and the game concludes -- then restarts, giving the player another crack at glimpsing another, parallel facet of the memories the shelves of pasta provoke. As the introductory blurb states: "You will be asked to define the story by controlling one instant in the life of the man whose story it is. Your intervention will begin and end the story."</p>
<p>This game is in some senses more akin to an advent calendar, a suite of one-shot surprises, than to its text adventure game brethren: a given game session will yield precisely one of 136 micro-narratives consisting entirely of a static prelude, one instance of valid player input and one response to that input. There are no wrong answers or mistakes to be made: there are only <em>lots</em> of answers, and the closest you can come to winning is in determining how to trigger as many of the endings as possible, so as to arrive as closely as you can to envisioning the scenario presented by the grand puzzle with all of its pieces in.</p>
<p>"<em>The end of the story.</em> The end of <em>a</em> story. But not the only story..."</p>

<p>As the backstory has it, King Reginald Hornbluff of Regal City revives his realm's sagging economy and restores order to streets torn by conflicts between predatory criminals and well-meaning but dangerous vigilantes by commodifying the chaos, containing the conflict by constructing an enormous gladiatorial arena with cash prizes to the strongest competitors and charging admission to it.</p>
<p>You play a farm boy, the toughest in your village, come to the big city to make your fortune overcoming the miserable human dregs and uncanny creatures populating the arena known as The Pit. What this amounts to is a long series of fantastical top-down combats, taking turns exchanging melee, long-ranged and magical attacks with a wide variety of enemies ranging from battle slaves, clad only in loin cloths, to heroes of history and legend, dragons, liches and Norse Gods... and keeping out of their line of fire until your next counterattack becomes available. Use your winnings to upgrade your equipment (if you can haggle the vendor down to a fair price), or claim the arms and armour of your fallen opponents! Should you tire of your current category of opponents (the next often significantly tougher) you can always hone your skills on other players, AI-controlled (or against the SysOp, in real-time!) and just when you think you've got gameplay down to a rote pattern, the shadowy presence of the Assassin in the tavern and the Dark Avenger, a sinister doppelganger stalking the top arena champions, keeps you on your toes. And should you fall in the sands of the arena, you'll be back in fighting form the following day -- though your equipment will have been picked over.</p>
<p>While its intended play context as a BBS door game (though it can be played locally) generally output only textmode menus, stats displays and Rogue- or Kroz-like symbol-graphics in the top right corner in response to its single-character keyboard input (keypad directions informing actions such as [A]ttack with Hand Weapon, [F]ire Range Weapon, [B]eg for Mercy), the Pit also boasted an optional enhanced terminal program featuring EGA graphics and music.</p>

<p>The classic text adventure game structure involves a treasure hunt of sorts, collecting exceptional or valuable objects and amassing them in some central repository. This is a game in much the same fashion, except that instead of objects, you recruit party members. Oh yes, and did I mention: it's 28 AD, your name is "Jesus", and your party members are the apostles?</p>
<p>You will roam near and far over the hills and under the caves of Roman Judea running mundane errands, retrieving everyday items and completing missions to satisfy your would-be apostles. There are no walking-on-water shortcuts and in fact, no instances of miraculous behaviour whatsoever. Should you die in combat (a nasty, do-or-die piece of work, often producing apparently random results), do not expect resurrection.</p>
<p>Combat? That's right -- despite some scriptural inspiration, a generous helping of Biblical diction and a conversational style heavily influenced by parables, completion of the game demands some distinctly un-Christian behavior: closer to <em>The Last Temptation</em> than to <em>The Passion</em>, the creed of WWJD will be insufficient to successfully guide the player through this game.</p>

<p><em>MS-DOS 5</em> was a major update for Microsoft's command-line operating system. Among other changes was a new BASIC variant -- gone were the days of the bundled BASICA, GW-BASIC or QuickBasic interpreters. Now users had QBasic to play with. In addition to two utilities (<em>RemLine</em> and <em>Money Manager</em>), it included two sample games: <em>QBasic Nibbles</em> and <em>QBasic Gorillas</em>.</p>
<p><em>Nibbles</em> first: in short, it's Microsoft's version of the classic "<a href="/search/?q=Snake+games">snake</a>" game. The player navigates their snake so that it can eat up the random numbers appearing on the screen. After consuming a number, the snake grows longer. It dies if it runs into the walls or into its own tail, which grows pretty long after several helpings of numbers. The higher levels feature more walls, therefore, navigating them is more difficult. The game has a two-player mode as well as the standard single-player.</p>
<p>All objects in this game, including the snakes and the walls, are represented by simple ASCII characters in textmode....</p>
<p>Then, there is <em>Gorillas</em>. This is what happens when one takes the classic ballistic artillery game (perhaps the first major application for computers, and a field whose advancement was arguably single-handedly responsible for numerous categories of mathematical development in the West), replace the cannons and cannonballs with gorillas and bananas, place them, like King Kong or George from <a href="/search/?q=Rampage">Rampage</a>, atop buildings of varying heights instead of in the bowls, on the slopes and peaks of hills and valleys, and package it with the QuickBasic interpreter included with MS-DOS 5.0.</p>
<p>The game play is a dense inter-tangling of mathematical formulae that <a href="/search/?q=Donkey+Kong">Donkey Kong</a> can only scratch his lousy head enviously at while trying to count on his great monkey paws and do long division in his simian cranium. Players must account for the wind's variable direction and speed as well as a constant gravitational pull in order to attempt to lob banana bombs on an angle and with launch power permitting a trajectory such that it will clear the tops of intervening buildings and land on or near the opposing ape, exploding violently and giving us an unprecedented demonstration of guerrilla warfare. If successful, the top banana does the Donkey Kong (a <em>very</em> brief disco dance sensation); in the event of failure, the human opponent gets an opportunity to plug in some numbers and attempt to do unto others as was done to him, until one of the two is reduced to banana-ape-gunpowder gumbo. In the meantime, the urban landscape is reduced to a wasteland pocked with the craters of near misses -- a wry turning of the tables only too rarely possible among endangered species.</p>

<p>FastTracker 2 was an early successful PC .MOD-tracking music composition utility, early competition for <a href="/search/?q=Remedy+Entertainment+Ltd.">Future Crew</a>'s ScreamTracker but more clearly inspired by Amiga tracking software that preceded them both. When called upon to explain its success against such strong competition, some will mumble something about the mouse support, or give a nod toward the ability to "play along" with your song-in-progress in realtime using the computer keyboard. These half-hearted attempts dance around the most telling ingredient in FastTracker 2's success: it contained a fully-functioning clone of <a href="/search/?q=Nibbles">Nibbles</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/13596/microsoft-corporation/">Microsoft</a>'s QBasic take on the classic "<a href="/search/?q=Snake+games">snake game</a>" spectacularly depicted with "<a href="/search/?q=Tron-style+games">light bikes</a>" in the feature film <em>Tron</em>.</p>
<p>Since the implementation of this game was not the main attraction, it was not especially feature-rich, and only occupied a fraction of the screen display. Nonetheless, all the salient characteristics were there: the boxy worms (multiplayer mode optional) would grow accordingly in length after eating the numbered boxes, dieing after colliding with the walls, each other, their own body or other obstacles. Additional gameplay flavours included variable play speed, absent boundary barriers permitting "wrap"-around, and a superimposed grid indicating more clearly if your snake was about to eat a number-box or munch its own tail.</p>
<p>(Apparently some people also used FastTracker 2 to compose music with 8)</p>

<p>A polygonal 3D fighter, <em>Time Warriors</em> puts eight fighters from eight different times and places against each other: Yrwen the Celt, armed with a long sword, Hysis the Egyptian, wielding two sabers, Molloch the Barbarian with his battle axe, the scimitar-wielding Sultan Iz-Baal, Shodan the Samurai and his katana, from a Chinese monastery Dong brings just a staff, Olof the Viking plans flattening his opponents with a war hammer and Apokles the Spartan brings a double-edged sword.</p>
<p>Gameplay is similar to other games in the same genre - two buttons control the weapon and two other ones kicking, because both come with a "fast" and a "strong" variant. Combos are done with fast key presses or sequential moves, and by taking damage, the fighter gathers magic points that can be used to perform a destructive special attack. Like <a href="/search/?q=Virtua+Fighter">Virtua Fighter</a>, if a fighter falls from the battle arena, he or she loses from ring out. The usual options such as combat length, number of bouts, difficulty level and auto-block are included.</p>
<p>Graphically, the game can be tweaked to run on several configurations, by disabling more advanced graphic options such as scenario objects, light and real-time shadow calculation and textures.</p>

<p>The Voyager II space probe found us some impressive images of outer space. However, it was later found by the people of Roxiz, who locate Earth and decide to invade it, by establishing bases on each of Saturn's 10 moons. As former POW Luke Snayles, you must destroy each of these fleets of 80 aliens, before they can be dispatched.</p>
<p><em>Voyager</em> is viewed from on board the craft, and is a first person shoot 'em up using polygon graphics. You start with a laser and a few bombs, but can collect extra weaponry and the ability to fly through the mothership. Not all enemies can be killed simply by shooting them, so there is a tactical element to the slaughter.</p>

Ultimuh MCMLXVII: Part 2 of the 39th Trilogy - The Quest for the Golden Amulet

<p>Satirical video games are generally more effective if they look and play anything remotely like their inspiration (<a href="/search/?q=Untima+IX+-+Descension">Untima</a> a better example in this case), but that hasn't kept a couple of teens from throwing together a side-scrolling homage to the wispy plots, repetitive gameplay and spotty use of Olde Tyme Englishe diction strewn throughout the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8812/ultima/">Ultima</a> series (also initially, it should be noted, the handiwork of a couple of teens.)</p>
<p>You play a wizard, advancing step-by-step ever to the right side of the screen across the harsh wilderness landscape of what amounts to a Grade 2 student's first attempt at using MS Paint. Enormous, static, intentionally-crudely-rendered monsters block your path, but they are easily dispatched by close use of the "A" key, to attack. Various statistics are kept track of, incrementing and decrementing as you move, fight and kill, replenished by giant magical potions dotting the landscape. At the end of each level is a huge golden amulet -- alas, decoys all of them. Every subsequent level plays identically to the prior, save that the monsters require an additional hit to do away with.</p>

<p>This game consists of ten arcade mini-games based on the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/68490/don-bluth/">Don Bluth</a> animated movie with the main characters voiced by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/87546/burt-reynolds/">Burt Reynolds</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Dom+DeLouise">Dom DeLouise</a>. Charlie the dog, a good guy but a bit of a scoundrel, is bumped off by an evil 'crime lord' of a dog and ends up in heaven but yearns to go back to earth to set things right. The game starts there, if you play the story mode. Plot points from the movie are used to loosely tie the mini-games together, but you can also pick your own game. </p>
<p>Among the different mini-games, there's a <a href="/search/?q=Hangman">Hangman</a> clone, a session of The Towers of Hanoi, a run around the city to try to find the girl's house, a maze-crawl through a ventilation system, and a Rat Race that pits you as a rat called Squad Car trying to win a race against three to five other rats. There are three difficulty levels to choose from.</p>

<p>Crashing your spaceship on a strange planet and formulating some sort of escape plan is a longstanding convention in science fiction literature, film and games.  This game begins with Jacaranda Jim's spaceship crashing on Ibberspleen IV and there the conventions evaporate: his antagonists?  A fleet of homicidal beechwood armchairs.  It's all right, though -- with your constant companion Alan the Gribbley and the assistance of Mavis, a cow, you will help Jim navigate Ibberspleen's strangely familiar village marketplace, hunting for legendary treasure and, ultimately, a return to outer space.</p>

<p>You might be mistaken for thinking that the "treasure hunt in a mansion full of secrets" theme had been played out -- if not in text adventures, then surely in interactive CD-ROMs.  And yet here is a text adventure that puts us squarely in that familiar setting, but one which siphons out the worn cliches and tired pretension and shores up the fragile framework with a vigorous injection of healthy, red-blooded absurd fun.</p>
<p>One magical Christmas you visit your grandfather's estate at Attervist Manor, only to discover him mysteriously caught in an unwakeable slumber, suspiciously bearing a letter from the solicitors of the sinister dentist who lives next door regarding his purchase of Grandad's estate.  You will travel the length and breadth of this estate in search of a cure to your grandfather's condition and buried treasure to ensure the estate's financial independence.</p>
<p>But that's not what this game is about: it's about the particle accelerator in the bedroom and the Viking longboat stuck in the pond ice; it's about the clockwork shark (Grandad's contribution to the war effort) baking goodies in the kitchen; it's about needing the gloves so you can pick up the hedgehog.  No, these don't make sense -- but as games are about fun we can overlook that and hide it beneath the Groucho Marx-glasses of "whimsy."</p>

<p>As a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21738/legend-of-the-red-dragon/">Legend of the Red Dragon</a>, a game that burst at its seams with derivative borrowing, no one was expecting such a radical departure in approach and style as they got in New World -- something akin to an unwholesome marriage of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8812/ultima/">Ultima</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/393/zzt/">ZZT</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Habitat">Habitat</a>, a realtime multiplayer BBS door effectively amounting to a roguelike MUD with a huge sandbox for free play alone (even locally) or with all your friends.</p>
<p>A massive world map permits movement between numerous cities and regions and involvement in their respective political intrigues (and outright military campaigns!) against each other; alternately, a player wishing to fish on the end of the dock or collect berries for Mom to bake into pie can happily play on that scale as long as they like. There's no shortage of quests (especially with the option to include user-contributed in-game modules) and no lack of opportunities to increase experience through the slaying of random encounters. On the other hand if you prefer you can just sit around the tavern or picnic blanket and chew the fat with your buddies, exchanging comments and trading curious items acquired in your journeys.</p>

<p>This compilation includes the first six games in the series stored on seven discs in three keep cases held together by a cardboard box.

<p>In Tank Wars you try to shoot the other tank at the other end of the hill. To do this you have to get the angle and the amount of force to put into the shot right. You can play single player against the computer or have two players.</p>

<p>The famous animated TV series by Hanna-Barbera spawned a film, and ultimately this licensed game, which contains 8 levels alternating between side-scrolling dodge-and-manipulate and driving gameplay. All four members of the Jetson family have a themed level.</p>
<p>The driving sections take place within George's Jetcar, and you must slow down for the speed-limited areas and beware of black holes.</p>
<p>At the beginning of the game you are George Jetson, labourer of the Spacely Space Sprockets company in 2062. Your boss Mr. Spacely wants you to work, but you want to collect money and have a fun. So after the boss ordinary order you can explore the company as usually, collect money bills and useful items, avoiding dangerous robotic mechanisms and Mr. Spacely himself. </p>
<p>On further levels, other Jetsons family members must do the same things, but at their own locations. Level 2 involves taking Jane out of her booby-trapped home, level 3 sees Judy trying to get a kiss form pop heartthrob Jet Screamer, and finally Elroy is locked in at school and has to escape.</p>
<p>You have to activate the items hidden behind the hatches with buttons. These allow you to progress on level, for example, fix an elevator with wrench. Time presses and you have to complete your mission quickly.</p>

<p>Some people have very interesting dreams, and you are one of those people. Your subconscious has created a moon infested with evil beings, and a Pegasus ground-skimmer with which to destroy them.</p>
<p>The chances are that you played <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/128956/tau-ceti/">Tau Ceti</a> shortly before bedtime, as <em>Phantasm</em> has much in common with that game's action elements. Armed with lasers and homing missiles, you must take down the aliens before the shoot you.</p>

<p>Upset at the injustices rendered upon legions of innocent midgets over the course of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/158246/executioners/">Executioners</a>, the first Bloodlust Software game, the sinister French midget "Stumpy", leader of the Great Midget Rebellion, arranges the kidnapping of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/62139/ethan-petty/">Lord ][ellbent Deathspew</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/76121/icer-addis/">Smegma</a>, alter-egos of the game's developers.</p>
<p>Still with me? Torn at devising a suitably torturous punishment for them, Stumpy installs them into electric chairs with joysticks, forcing them on pain of electric shock to duke it out by remotely controlling a highly-creative assortment of champions... who attempt to direct a ball (in actuality a severed human head) past each other into their opponent's goal zone, getting an edge on the opponent by amassing power and timing the use of their most inventive, violent and repulsive special attacks. All the while, Stumpy hurls devastating insults at his captives, who exchange sophomoric verbal barbs with each other depending on their performance in the game.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10443/pong-kombat/">The intersection</a> of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pong">Pong</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Mortal+Kombat">Mortal Kombat</a> turned out to be surprisingly tame compared to this gutsy and visceral contender (more Pong-meets-<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/31693/time-killers/">Time Killers</a>, the fighting game that tracked dismemberments and decapitations as well as wins and losses), but not only is this paddle-and-ball game surprisingly solid (considering that its gameplay is obviously not its primary selling point), it may have a good shot at the title of Most Offensive Game ever due to excessive gore and vulgarity.</p>

<p>The exciting pace of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Street+Fighter+II">Street Fighter II</a> set arcades on fire when it was released, but took its sweet time in delivering some modicum of its exciting gameplay to home platforms. Not everyone was patient enough for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Capcom">Capcom</a> to get on the ball, and clones proliferated, invariably lacking a special <em>je-ne-sais-quoi</em> that made SF2 the killer app that it was.</p>
<p>What is lacking here is not such a mystery: it's the graphics, stupid. (If you know of a better way to trim the fat and deliver a SF2 clone in 97k, I'd like to hear it!) All the salient details are present: the original assortment of characters to play against with a friend, the original sound effects, the button combinations permitting special moves from the uppercut to the sonic boom to the spinning pile driver; it's all here. But instead of hand-drawn characters performing animated maneuvers over lush and detailed backgrounds, here you get vector-drawn stickmen (consisting of a mere 13 lines each!) sliding and bouncing across a flat black field, occasionally <em>hadoken</em>ing a menacing asterisk at each other.</p>
<p>In short, a great exercise in minimalism and an <em>excellent</em> demonstration of the difference bells and whistles can make in a game's presentation.</p>

<p>The Earth's water supply tainted through generations of heavy industrial contamination, the remaining quantities of unspoiled drinking water were converted into stable water crystal form.  Planetary defenses weakened in this time of environmental catastrophe, we mounted a valiant but ineffective defense against the water-crystal-seeking extraterrestrial Hydrites, led by their brutal general Overkill, in a conflict that reduced human civilisation to a few obscure overlooked outposts and turned our remaining ecosystem into a radioactive wasteland, rife with tunnels and ruins and a fecund breeding-ground for disease, mutants and abominations.</p>
<p>Now it is the year 2060 AD.  You are an HX-909 soldier in the HeXonium Force, the only known remaining human resistance group.  From Zzexon's compound Zzexlia, perhaps the safest spot in a world where walking down the buckled asphalt remnants irradiates you, you mount exploratory expeditions into the great unknown in order to recover essential water crystals, harden yourself for combat, and arrive at a better understanding of what your planet has become.  When the time is right, you will descend deep into the corrupted earth, past defunct air bases and toxic landfills, to take back the water and land that is your birthright and lay to rest the rumour that the notorious general Overkill still befouls Terran soil with his footprint.</p>
<p>The game output is restricted to text descriptions and coloured ASCII symbols on a map. The grim atmospheric tone of the writing is compounded with the irrevocable strangeness of the setting. Sense of urgency is compounded by a reflex-based combat system, both long-range and melee targets lined up by successfully hitting the space bar at the correct moment of a count-down, the harder the target the faster the countdown -- a real problem with slow modem latency of the era, prompting the release of an ANSI terminal for the game, keeping the bulk of the data (and digitised sound) on the client's end rather than the server's.</p>

<p><em>African Adventure</em> is a text-based game with no sound or graphics. It is a remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=African+Adventure:+In+Search+of+Dr.+Livingston">African Adventure: In Search of Dr. Livingston</a> for the Commodore 64 by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Softside">Softside</a> in September 1980. 
You play a man who must help search for a man named Dr. Livingston who has become lost somewhere in the darkest parts of Africa. For every action you type, all the letters must be capital, and your statement can only be two words; a verb and a noun, such as "GET BOOK" or "GO EAST". For directions you can also just enter the first letter of the word like "E" for east.</p>
<p>You earn points for the objects you collect. Some have to be used in other locations, or should be held onto as the game proceeds. Several helpful commands include "HINT" in case you are stuck, "LOOK" to tell you what is around you, "I" will show your inventory and what you are holding, "SCORE" shows how many points you currently have, "SAVE" to save your current game progress, "LOAD" to load a saved game, and "QUIT" end your game and display your total score. All commands should be entered in capital letters in order for the program to understand.</p>

<p>The year 2127 marked the end of the great interstellar war. Twelve cultural empires declared peace among one another, ending the overt hostilities. In the aftermath, the galaxy is full of planets unclaimed to any particular government. As a starship captain, you have been commissioned to explore space for these available worlds and conquer them for the glory of your race.</p>
<p><em>Command Adventures: Starship</em> is a game focusing on exploration, space combat and ground combat. The player chooses from among 12 races and begins at a starbase. Options are available to hire crew members, buy new ships and new equipment. Leaving the starbase, the player controls space flight from an overhead view. They may encounter combat with alien ships which is also handled from this view. Upon discovery of a planet or a disabled ship, the player can land/dock and send an away team to secure the area. Away team members are selected from among the crew and available equipment. Planets must be secured by including Engineers on the away team who are able to build an Isolation Grid from the four corners of the map. Money is earned through capturing alien weaponry or conquering planets.</p>

<p><em>Jurassic War</em> is an RTS set in prehistoric times that includes RPG elements. It is reminiscent of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/371/warcraft-orcs-humans/">Warcraft</a>, both in graphics and the units' movement and control.</p>
<p>At the beginning of the game you have to choose among several tribes. Each of them has got "simple men" (not just workers like in other games as they can evolve here), and then each tribe slightly differs with regard to most advanced kinds of units, such as "magicians" and the like.</p>
<p>The RPG addition comes with experience: every time an unit of yours has killed something (be it an animal hunted for the only resource of the game, that is food, or be it an opponent unit) it earns this kind of experience you can see in the form of bars in the upper-right corner of the screen (when the unit is selected).
Each unit has got these six bars showing its velocity, its light radius, its magic power, and so on. You can also choose to boost some of these bars only, that is they will fill up faster but at the cost of no progress for the other ones.</p>
<p>Then the six bars are summed up in one only bar located at the top of each unit, and whose colour represents that unit overall strength.
White is the highest level/colour units can reach. The most frequent white-barred animals you will encounter in the game are Tyrannousaurus-like dinosaurs. You need a lot of training with high-level monsters to have your units become that strong. Obviously also animals earn experience, and this happen only when you die fighting them, because they don't attack themselves.</p>
<p>The goal of the game is the same of almost every other RTS - that is killing the opponent units and getting rid of their presence on the map.</p>

<p>This is the official add-on for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/598/the-settlers-ii-veni-vidi-vici/">The Settlers II</a>. In the new campaign you play as the great-grandchild of Octavius (who you played in the original game) who is on a quest to conquer the world.</p>
<p>During the campaign you have to fight your enemies on all 6 continents through 9 missions. The base outline of these maps look like their real counter-parts and are very huge. Each has it's corresponding climate, too. In one mission you have to fight the vikings on Greenland in deep snow and in another you fight the natives of Africa in a mix of desert and veld.</p>
<p>Also there come 12 new maps for the free game-mode with this add-on, there's now also a editor in which you can build your own maps with the only limitation that you can't make a map on which you can use ships.</p>
<p>The add-on is also included in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20461/the-settlers-ii-gold-edition/">The Settlers II: Gold Edition</a>.</p>

<p>The <em>Powerdrome</em> racing series is now into its 24th year of high-speed high-octane action. Why race on flat 2D circuits when you can charge through a multi-textured half-pipe in small aircraft? Typhoon Racing have taken up the challenge, and entered you in their machine.</p>
<p>There are 6 different circuits, with hazards including chicanes, tunnels and crusher gates. Shading to the sections marks out whether a corner or dive is coming up. There are 5 computer opponents to race against in one player mode, while a data link cable allows 2-player games.</p>
<p>Each planet has its own atmosphere, and your machine's filters will need to be set to take account of this. Rain on some circuits necessitates a pitstop for a changeover. You are armed with afterburners, which can provide a speed use in open air but should not be overused. The Amiga version allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the controls - either way, joystick is easier to use but mouse is seen as ultimately being faster.</p>

<p>Cricket internationals are known as 'test' matches, but to many English and Australian players, most games are a mere test of ability to play in the Ashes, the fabled tours between the 2 countries taking place roughly every 18 months. Those who regard everything else as a time-filling exercise between these ancient duels between colonial power and one-time convict dumping ground will appreciate this release from Audiogenic.</p>
<p><em>Battle For the Ashes</em> was released at budget price, as a cut down version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/435/allan-borders-cricket/"> the company's cricket game, released under various licenses worldwide</a> offering only 5-day matches between England and Australia. Gameplay is unchanged, with batting involving precise timing and stroke selection, and bowling involving waggling to set speed or spin, with control over where the ball pitches.</p>

<p><em>Living Ball</em> boasts of "the largest pinball table ever created", and can back it up with the 99-level table "Wasteland", along with two others of smaller size. While the level of quality may be higher in more traditional pinball games, the sheer size of the tables is quite impressive.</p>
<p>The game features three modes. Adventure, in which the three tables are connected; arcade, which is the traditional style allowing you to select any of the three tables; and bonus, allowing you to play the six bonus stages.</p>
<p>While the Arcade and Bonus modes require no explanation, the adventure mode does. It starts you out in the Wasteland, but has hidden links to both of the other tables, similar to the links to the bonus tables, but much less common. Also of note is the storyline that attempts to provide a background to the game.</p>

<p>Total Football Management is a football manager game, putting the player in charge of a football club where the player makes decisions on what players to buy, stadium improvements, tactics, training and shares. The game offers highlights of your teams matches in 3D with commentary or alternatively the player can watch the games live and make changes during the match. Different difficulty levels affect the amount of things the player has control over. Other features include a game editor to modify teams etc. and  the ability to upload a photo to use in the game. The game also makes use of presentation such as newspaper reports and TV shows in order to appear more realistic to the player.</p>

<p><em>Letter Targets</em> is a freeware ASCII-style game with gameplay similar to <a href="/search/?q=Hangman">Hangman</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Wheel+of+Fortune">Wheel of Fortune</a>. Every puzzle number has the same mechanic: you can either choose a puzzle by typing the number or you can just select play and you will get a random puzzle. The length of the word is shown in dots when you begin your puzzle, and you hit letters on your keyboard to guess and try to solve the word. After typing seven letters that are not in the word, it's game over. The game does not have a high score screen or a difficulty setting.</p>

<p><em>Pinball Wizard 2000</em> from Ikarion Software GmbH is the successor of Kingsoft's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pinball+Wizard">Pinball Wizard</a> for the Amiga. This pinball game features five tables (Themes: Industrial Revolution, Hattrick, Rock'n'Roll Heaven, Prohibition, Earth Inferno) and one bonus table (Mystic).</p>
<p>PW2000 is more of an action-oriented game instead of a real simulation since the physics are somewhat strange at times. But the real strength of the program is the implemented Pinball Construction Set. All tables were built with this construction set and with the detailed instruction manual and samples everyone with some programming knowledge can do some amazing tables on his own.</p>

<p>This Speed Racer-licensed racing game is based on the American remake of 1960s classic Japanese anime TV series. All the main characters are presented in the game: Speed Racer, his big brother Racer X, his father Pops, his mother, his girlfriend Trixie, and his little brother Spritle along with the pet chimpanzee Chim-Chim.</p>
<p>In the game you are Speed Racer who challenges Racer X on the 7 campaign tracks full of obstacles, road gaps, and other racers who want to take your car (Mach 5) off the road. Mach 5 has many features under the hood, which can be activated with the buttons from 'A' to 'G' (for instance, to make a big jump you press 'A', or to survive under water you press 'D'). After winning the race you'll progress in the game to another episode, collecting money as bonus.</p>
<p>Two players can simultaneously take on each other on the same computer or online via modem. There are different episodes in Modem Play.</p>

<p>A <a href="/search/?q=Sopwith">Sopwith</a>-style WWI action game, <em>Triplane Turmoil</em> allows to take the controls of a biplane or triplane, and fly for the English, German, Finnish, or Japanese air forces. Play against the computer or against other human opponents via a split-screen display. Do well and receive medals, ribbons, and promotions. Form alliances with other players or go it alone. Attack other planes in the air or drop bombs on enemy forces on the ground. Your objective is to destroy as much of the enemy as possible, and to defend your own forces. Originally, the game was shareware, but v1.02 of the game has now been released as freeware.</p>

<p>In <em>Zombi</em> you control a team of four intrepid travelers, who have landed their helicopter on the roof of a shopping centre in the hope of finding fuel. The problem is that, with Hell full, Zombies are walking the earth, devouring humans as they please.</p>
<p><em>Zombi</em> is a point and click survival horror game in which you control the four characters (Alexandre, Sylvie, Yannick and Patrick) in turn, taking each of them individually through the abandoned complex. Lots of potentially-useful items have been left behind, some stored in cupboards - work out what they could be used for. </p>
<p>Try to find a weapon with which to attack the zombies - bare-hands fighting only works for a few attempts before your character is worn out. Dead zombies should be placed in the freezer in the basement to stop them re-emerging. You have free rein over the shopping mall, and can use the bed shops to rest and the food shops for nourishment. Be wary of the dark and zombie-filled basement though.</p>

<p>ABM is an EGA graphic remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Missile+Command">Missile Command</a>. In this game you must stop missiles from coming down to destroy Shield Generators. You can use your mouse, or your arrow keys to aim where you want to fire, then click on the mouse buttons to fire and destroy the missiles. There are infinite levels and no high score table. When you get a game over their will be Statistics showing how many missiles you destroyed and how many interceptors you launched.</p>

<p><em>Goferpop</em> is a 2D 50K shooting game in which the player shoots gophers that pop out of the ground. The game field is a row of grass and the gophers will pop out anywhere on the field. The mouse is used to move a gun back and forth and when a gopher appears the player must click the mouse in order to shoot it. The score is based on how many gophers are killed and how quickly, as measured by the "Gophers shot per hour" metric. There is no game over, but there is a high score table.</p>

<p><em>Extase</em> is an action puzzle game, spiritual sequel to the brain bowler game in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4096/purple-saturn-day/">Purple Saturn Day</a>. The screen display depicts a symmetrical network of wires, some buttons, some fuses, some switches, and a picture of a female android in the middle. The overall aim is to restore sensory functions to the android, one in each level. All of this is done against an opponent, either human or computer, who controls the opposite half of the board.</p>
<p>This is done by guiding electrical pulses through each of the wires, however this can only be done once the wires have been woken up. You are in control of a cursor, which can click on the activation buttons to release a ball, which you direct using the cursor to reactivate wires on its path. Switches must be set to make all parts of this available – this can only be done when no ball is active.</p>
<p>Electrical sparks move around to make life harder, by destroying balls and fuses. Fortunately these can be 'zapped' using the cursor. New fuses can be generated by guiding a power beam into the fusebox, which is located centrally – simply pick up and place a generated fuse.</p>
<p>Better still, you can steal your opponent's, which is one of many ways the game becomes directly competitive. The two cursors cannot occupy the same space on screen, so hitting your opponent's cursor will jolt it. You can also adjust switches on both sides of the board, and summon sparks for your opponent to deal with. As the android is reactivated during the level it shows a range of facial expressions as a visual reward and measure of your progress.</p>

<p>In the North Putnam Maximum Security Correction Facility, strange things have been going on. Rumors of secret experiments taking place with some of the inmates, a strange Power Elite gang, and other criminals walking around with super powers. It it to this strange location that Steve Kane was taken when he was wrongly convicted of highway homicide. His life was saved on day by a man named Big John, which unleashed strange powers within him and turned him into the Skul.</p>
<p><em>They Call me the Skul</em> is one among a series of Virtual Comics. The main purpose of these products is to create an interactive comic book reader that can be sold on cd-roms and viewed on a computer screen. The product also features a shooter game. Inside the game, the player controls Skul as he flies across the city, shooting members of the Power Elite game on top of roofs. Skul can pick up different power-ups. These powerups will shield him from enemy fire, allow him to shoot rapid fire or fire in three directions. These power-ups can be combined. The game continues indefinitely allowing players to rank up a large score.</p>
<p>The comic book reader runs in Windows 3.x and Windows 95, the game portion has executables for both MS-DOS and Windows 95.</p>

<p><em>Project: Space Station</em> casts the player into the role of a NASA Administrator, charged with the task of designing and building a space station. The project will span 15 years, during which time the player must plan shuttle launches, recruit personnel, manage the budget, conduct research and development and, of course, design and build the station. A very deep and involved game for such an early effort.</p>

<p><em>Des Chiffres et des Lettres</em> ("Numbers and Letters") is a French game show which inspired the similar British programme Countdown. Two players compete in a sequence of rounds challenging language and arithmetic skills. In this version you can turn off either type of rounds, and can have infinite time to think in each round, if you wish.</p>
<p>In letters rounds, an array of 9 letters is chosen by each player alternately choosing either a vowel or a consonant, and players must find the longest possible legitimate word. In numbers rounds, an array of face-down numbers (including 25, 50, 75 and 100 as well as 2 each of 1-10) is presented to the player, who chooses the number of 'large' numbers. A target between 101 and 999 is then generated, and players must get as close to this as possible. Additionally, there are mental arithmetic challenge rounds, in which players must solve an equation as quickly as possible.</p>

<p>In <em>Road Runner</em>, the player takes control of the Road Runner. The Road Runner must run along the road, avoiding trucks, landmines, falling rocks, etc. and also not get caught by Wile E. Coyote. The Road Runner must also eat birdseed along the way or he will become faint and Wile E. will catch him.</p>
<p>The Road Runner can earn points for eating the birdseed and also by making Wile E. get hit by trucks, falling rocks, etc.</p>
<p>The Atari 2600 version has a difference from the other versions, in that the Road Runner isn't required to eat the birdseed but can do so for the points.</p>

<p>The <em>MiG-29</em> plane, nicknamed <em>Fulcrum</em> by the West, features in this flight simulation, professionally modeled by former British Aerospace flight simulator designers. You are armed with cannons, rockets, and Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground missiles. Aerodynamics, blackouts, and physics are all recreated. There are six missions to take on, starting with your basic training. </p>
<p>After this, there are four diverse missions with colour-coded identification, and a final extra-tough mission you can only do once you have completed the others. The missions involve arctic reconnaissance, dogfighting over the Great Wall of China, an oil refinery, and destroying terrorist infrastructure. Your final task involves destroying a nuclear plant in the desert. Missions have primary and secondary objectives affecting scoring.</p>

<p>In the island of Calixto, a valuable treasure has been stolen from the museum. It's up to you to recover it and discover the mystery behind its disappearance! The game allows objects and items to be graphically visible, thus giving the player an idea on which objects or items may be eventually manipulated. Items may be added to your inventory, however you have a weight limit, thus you cannot carry all items that may be taken.</p>

<p>Temeres the Wizard is entrusted with the quest to reunite the White Unicorn with the Black Unicorn, and restore the cosmic balance by ultimately defeating the evil wizard Aldorin in a magical combat. He must search the three dimensions for magical items and potions to help him on his quest. This won't be easy to accomplish, since each area is guarded by mystical creatures who don't take likely to intruders.</p>
<p><em>Wizard Wars</em> is a turn-based role-playing game in which Temeres battles creatures using magical spells. In the beginning elemental spells such as Lightning Bolt are used for the most part; later on the player will be able to create new spells. During combat the player takes turns with the enemy, choosing a single action (cast spells, use potions, flee, etc.) Afterwards the player can mix potions, create spells, view character information, or continue traveling the lands.</p>

<p>The Electric Crayon series was a very easy to use computer coloring book. Each entry in the series had about 30 pictures to color. </p>
<p>Pictures could be colored from a palette of 16 colors. A mix button would "mix" the current color with the 15 other colors... give a total of 256 colors. Choosing a color and clicking in the picture would do a color fill in the area clicked. This was the first "computer coloring book." The finished, or in progress, coloring was automatically saved to disk. When this program was developed "color fill" algorithms were excruciatingly slow, a special algorithm was created that performed a high speed color fill.</p>
<p>Pictures could be printed with, or without, a monthly calendar.</p>
<p>One of the first games to support the mouse and color printing.</p>
<p>"Fun on the Farm" had 30 pictures of farm life.</p>

<p>"This Land Is Your Land" had 30 pictures from around the United States.</p>

<p><em>WWF Wrestlemania</em> is a wrestling game with arcade elements, which uses the World Wrestling Federation license. The player can control one of the three available wrestlers: Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, or the British Bulldog.</p>
<p>The player either participates in practice matches (against the hopefully-misnamed Mr. Perfect) or in a sequence of five matches to win the Wrestlemania Belt. The opponents have different special moves - watch out for The Warlord's Full Nelson and Sgt. Slaughter's Camel Clutch, for example. Before the fights start, the opponents will deliver a taunt, which the player must respond to as creatively as possible.</p>
<p>The game is viewed from a forced perspective above and behind the action. The player's aim is to pin the opponent to the ground for three seconds, which can only be done once he has been weakened. Kicks, punches and throws will reduce an opponent's strength bar. When a strong opponent is down, stamping on him will pay off more than attempting a pin.</p>
<p>Avoid leaving the ring for too long - 20 seconds out and the match is void, which counts as a defeat. As in real WWF, the frame of the arena can be used to perform moves. Once players are in close contact, the player can waggle the joystick to ensure he wins the grapple.</p>

<p>Football Masters 99 allows the player to control over 50 teams from 15 countries from all around Europe, each with their own different league system, such as the straight four divisions in England, Scotland and Denmark to the the nationwide leagues with a third regional tier in Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal. All squads are editable before starting a game, and up to eight players can compete at the same time.</p>
<p>Managers have the usual ability to set player bonuses and ticket prices, plan training at both global (a weekly 40-hour pool to be distributed between gameplay, fitness, set plays and skills) and individual (the manager can insist in one of the ten individual skills) levels, sign, sell and loan players and set formations and tactics (setting wingbacks, pack defense or offside trap. among others).</p>
<p>Performing well will give the chance to coach a higher ranked club, but always on the same league. It's possible to select a top-ranking team, but start on the lowest division, as well as randomizing player stats, which can all be edited to suit your tastes.</p>
<p>The game engine features a top down radar (which you can click anytime and change the position of any player) which follows the action by the minute, plus text information on key events such as goals, fouls and cards.</p>

<p><em>Eliza</em> was the first chatterbot to make a splash in popular culture, originally written and conceived by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/235822/joseph-weizenbaum/">Dr. Joseph Weizenbaum</a> of MIT in 1966 to mockingly ape the style of a person-centered (Rogerian) psychotherapist or counselor, largely by prompting the user to elaborate on topics sampled from previous user input. A typical session would take the form of a typed dialogue (sometimes with simulated typing errors to further the suspension of disbelief), with the computer asking the user a series of questions and being fed responses from which to generate further questions.</p>
<p>The game stimulated early consideration of computer artificial intelligence (or the appearance thereof), not infrequently passing the Turing test and fooling users into believing (for a little while, at least) that they were interacting with a real human being on the other end... blazing a trail subsequently followed down by Perry the Paranoid and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/563/racter/">Racter</a>. Additionally, the nods its conversational interface made toward natural language processing (or, again, the appearance thereof) are considered to have been influential on the early mainframe development of the interface for text adventure games such as <a href="/search/?q=Colossal+Cave+Adventure">Adventure</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/30162/zork/">Zork</a>.</p>
<p>Considered as a game, it is nearly the polar opposite to Emily Short's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14280/galatea/">Galatea</a> -- instead of the player probing the computer with questions, the computer probes the player with them. Many different stories will still be revealed, but in this case, that's because it'll be people tricked by the program into telling them.</p>

<p>Some programs conventionally considered games are simulators that have been described as "software toys", such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9241/little-computer-people/">Little Computer People</a> or the iterations of <a href="/search/?q=Will+Wright">Will Wright</a>'s Sim franchise, concerning themselves with the life cycles of simulated entities; in <a href="/search/?q=The+Sims">The Sims</a>, it's the lives and deaths of people being simulated, while in <em>Conway's Game of Life</em>, it's the lives and deaths of single-celled entities (or "cellular automata").</p>
<p>These entities live on cells of a flat, 2D binary Cartesian grid and their life and reproduction is dictated according to a few demanding conditions. From step to step, their amount of adjacent neighbours (above, below, on the sides and diagonally) are measured: fewer than two or more than three, and the inhabitant of the cell will die; exactly two or three and they will remain stable; finally, any uninhabited square with three neighbours will spawn forth a new entity.</p>
<p>The player is a Newtonian clockmaker god, arranging starting conditions of cell locations on the grid and then setting the system into motion to continue, untouched and unabated, as the game plays itself, evolving, and generations of cells tick along and produce kaleidoscopic patterns, flickering oscillators and stubborn, stable little clumps and lumps (or "still lifes").</p>
<p>The game was originally worked out slowly, by hand, on grid paper, blackboard or using tiles on a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14212/the-many-faces-of-go/">Go</a> board, after being popularized in Martin Gardner's "Mathematical Games" column in <em>Scientific American</em> in October 1970, but increasing availability of computers have enormously expanded the options available (and enormously reduced the time and labour needed) to cell pattern researchers.</p>

<p>The Overlord has enforced unjust laws throughout the kingdom of Braminar -- raising taxes, enslaving villages, and, worst of all, outlawing hamburgers. You are the stalwart adventurer bold enough to emerge from the ranks, accumulating through exploration the skills, experience, artifacts and followers necessary to undo his burger-hating rule and usher the realm of Braminar into a new golden age.</p>
<p>The author has followed up the earlier <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/26537/fantasia/">Fantasia</a> and concocted what he describes as "boolean interactive fiction" -- a game consisting of purely textual input and output occasionally prompting the player for confirmation of likely, valid actions in the style of many a BBS door game ("you may (S)teal food, (T)ake from trunk, or (L)eave"), mostly in answering Yes/No questions ("You come up to a hollow tree with a door. Enter?") or plugging in numbers for inventory management of a sort ("2 male and 8 female slaves have come down with: Turkey Pox. How many males to cure?")</p>
<p>The game chugs along pretty much on its own -- combat, for instance, being a do-or-die affair of pressing any key to proceed to the next round, the computer taking care of both parties' tactics and strategies (or lack thereof: it will quite happily run you straight into the ground against a stronger opponent). It dishes up a varied but randomized assortment of standard adventure environments (sylvan glades, abandoned shacks, villages, inclement weather, Gypsy gambling dens, the Dark Castle of the Mad King) to be explored at your discretion, though it's up to the player and tough lessons learned in their past experience with the game to determine for themselves if they're tough enough to deal with (or desperate enough to risk dealing with) what they're likely to find in each area, which is sometimes beneficial ("the gnome greets you and gives you 3 food"), sometimes negative ("You release a Rune Guardian which comes out and burns you"), and sometimes neither ("As you enter, a centurion says to you: 'Have you driven a Ford lately?'").</p>
<p>As with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21738/legend-of-the-red-dragon/">Legend of the Red Dragon</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Kingdom+of+Loathing">Kingdom of Loathing</a>, the stock fantasy tropes of fighting orcs and ogres with swords are mixed with jarring glimpses of surreal preoccupations -- here with giant hamburgers, Duncin' [sic] Doughnuts, and Hellen Reddy [sic].</p>
<p>Once the player has achieved the 20th level or beyond and accumulated both the Staff and the prime command, it is possible to enter the endgame, in which your total assets (largely, perhaps in a nod to Gor, consisting of male and female slaves) are converted into an army, one which automatically engages the Overlord's legions... their conflict depicted as two <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20741/progress-quest/">Progress Quest</a>ian bars in a chart diminishing each other. Overwhelming forces will be needed to make even a dent in his waves of cannon fodder, but should you triumph over them, you then get to engage the Overlord in single combat.</p>

<p><em>The New Worlds</em> is a data disk add-on to the strategy game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5985/utopia-the-creation-of-a-nation/">Utopia: The Creation of a Nation</a>. It supplies ten new worlds to work through, each of which has a new alien race to encounter. These include the Sarturians, The Rako-Gorda, and a tribe of humans who had previously colonised. The planets themselves also vary in terms of areas to develop.</p>

<p>The hows and whys are apparently unimportant. What matters is this: you, represented by a double-pointing pair of ASCII glyphs, are trapped in a devious labyrinth. Your goal, however, is not to escape, but rather to <em>survive</em>: in the maze with you are a number of Beasts, looking like slim sinister Hs. If they find you, they will eat away one of your lives.</p>
<p>Your weapons? None. However, nearly all of the walls in this maze can be pushed, like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1715/soko-ban/">Sokoban</a> crates... only indefinitely stackable. If you are able to line up wall segments and wait until a Beast enters into a gap between them, you should be able to close the gap on top of him, pushing the walls shut and making Beastly pulp. Maneuvre carefully, though, for once the wall segments are backed against the outside walls, you can only pull them back into "live", useful territory on certain levels. Also, you may hit a snag against solid-coloured immobile walls, preventing your stack from mashing the intended Beast. (Further complicating things, these immobile, "static" walls become deadly to the touch on later levels!)</p>
<p>On harder levels, you get to meet the whole Beast family, Super-Beasts, eggs and the Hatched Beasts that emerge from them. Meaner and tougher, they possess enhanced abilities, such as only being crushable against immobile walls or being able to turn the tables and push walls back at you (how quickly the crusher is become the crushee!)</p>

<p>Owing more than a little to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/392880/robert-arnstein/">Robert Arnstein</a>'s TRS-80 escape-from-the-asylum text adventure classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bedlam+(1982)">Bedlam</a>, this whimsical romp casts the player as an inmate with second ideas about remaining inside the institution walls. It's not such a strange place, halls and stairways, but to make up for it the nuthouse is packed with a host of peculiar one-personality-trait characters (some of them the staff!), each of whom neatly play one-off roles in simple, if occasionally arbitrary puzzles.</p>
<p>While there are no gerbils to be found on the grounds (their riot is firmly in the background; your part in it is why you were incarcerated), you will conduct a meaningful exchange with a squirrel demanding an object-combination puzzle the likes of which wouldn't become standard until the days of the graphical adventure game.</p>

<p>This game is a mix between two classic games: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Rogue:+The+Adventure+Game">Rogue</a>, the text-only dungeon crawl role-playing game that has spawned a whole genre of games, and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Doom:+Evil+Unleashed">DOOM</a>, one of the breakthrough games for 1st-person shooter genre.</p>
<p>The story is the same as in Doom: You are some soldier performing his monotonic duties in a space base on Phobos -- when suddenly your base is attacked. The only way out is through. Equipped only with a pistol, you start to shoot your way through the mazes.</p>
<p>Early versions were text-only: instead of DOOM's 3D environment, the game world is rendered as a 2D grid of ASCII graphics (sound offects were borrowed from the original game). A later update added an optional graphics mode, using tile-based artwork, and a soundtrack of remixed DOOM tunes plus original material.</p>
<p>Apart from the style, this game is a straight Rogue-like dungeon crawler. The gameplay is turn-based, with each action taking a certain amount of time. As in a role-playing game, the character has different stats that increase with his experience -- he can reload faster, do more damage, shoot more accurately etc. During the game, you find different weapons and power-ups, all well-known to doom players (blue sphere power-ups, green armor etc.).</p>
<p>The game is freeware and was written in FreePascal, using the Valkyrie library by the same developer.</p>

<p><em>Hole-In-One Miniature Golf</em> provides an overhead view of each hole. The game play is controlled entirely with the mouse. You place the ball on the starting pad and click the left mouse button. Once you have placed the ball, "stretch" a line from the ball to the pointer. The direction the line is pointing is the direction the ball will go. The length of the line or the distance between the pointer and the ball is relative to the power on the shot. Once you are satisfied, click the left mouse button to putt the ball. </p>
<p>You are allowed to go three shots over par. Any more than that and you will get a penalty stroke and must advance to the next hole (or player). You can also get one stroke penalty for going into a water hazard. Your scorecard will be displayed after the first nine holes but can be viewed at anytime using the Options Menu. After completing the course the scorecard will be displayed again. You can print your scores or exit to continue. </p>
<p>The game features five complete 18-hole courses with different themes including a Tutorial Course that walks the player through every aspect of game play, a Classics Course which is patterned after the basic traditional miniature golf course, an Intermediate Course that adds more obstacles, elevations and difficulty, an adventurous Fantasy Course with designs ranging from castles to pinball and the Expert Course for those who master the game. The game can be installed on a hard drive.</p>

<p>A remake of <a href="/search/?q=Where+in+the+U.S.A.+is+Carmen+Sandiego?">Where in the U.S.A. is Carmen Sandiego?</a>, this title features high-resolution graphics, digitized sound effects, and new locations.</p>
<p>Sign your name up, then listen to the chief give you details about the suspect and the loot stolen by them, the location where the suspect was last seen, and the deadline by which you have to apprehend the suspect by. Question witnesses and contact informants to get information on the next location that the suspect headed to, as well as any information that could lead to a warrant. (You cannot arrest the suspect without one.) Determining where to go next will require research on your part, as everyone you question will reveal places, not cities that appear on the travel map.</p>
<p>When you have decided where you should go next, you can travel to the next location. And from there, the above process gets repeated until you finally caught up with the suspect. A new feature on this map allows you to zoom in to a state, allowing you to look closer on its towns and terrain, and its surrounding states.</p>

<p>Freddy the Frog presents six games designed to help school-starting children build on their numeracy and literacy skills. The rules for each game are explained in the form of short stories. Controls primarily use the cursor keys and enter.</p>
<p>Freddie is building a house, but can only add a log to his work if you solve a maths question. In the library, a list of book titles must be sorted into alphabetical order. </p>
<p>Successfully ordering letter and number sequences on the basketball court results in shots going in. Knowing which word is the opposite of the displayed one will help Freddy's diving.</p>
<p>In the shop, you have to identify which coins pay for which items, and then total up a shopping load and work out which coins pay for it. There is also a simple typing test included.</p>

<p>Barbie has a big day tomorrow, so she needs to get a good nights rest.  She has strange dreams about all her planned activities.  She must traverse five levels made up of a total of thirteen stages to make it through the night.</p>
<p>Barbie travels through various location in the mall, at the beach and in the soda shop trying to make it from the left side of each level to the right.  Each level is populated with animals and with living objects of the sort you would find in that location.  She can jump with the A button and throw crystals with the B button.  The longer you hold the button down, the farther each crystal is thrown.  She has three kinds of crystals, each of which has a different effect.  One makes creatures help her, one defeats them and one has varying effects.</p>

<p>Match Day Manager is a football (soccer) managing game featuring teams from England, where players start by managing any team of Division 3 (fourth tier), and attempt to climb to the Premiership.</p>
<p>The player has the usual array of options, from assigning training, scouting, checking who are the favourites of the crowd (after all, they want to to see them play), sign players and staff (scout, trainer and physio), but the main difference between MDM and other managing games is how time passes: instead of making all changes and then clicking a button to jump to the next matchday, the manager has a calendar with five daily time slots, and to make any changes, they have to be booked first. The only actions that don't need any booking are consulting their own fixtures, tables and the financial status. </p>
<p>It's also possible to edit the name pool, as well as editing each teams kits and names.</p>

<p>Stone Age is a challenging puzzle game where you are in control of a dinosaur and you have to make him reach the exit of each cave. The dinosaur can only walk on certain blocks on the level: some are just ordinary blocks, some are movable in the direction the arrow points, some crumble after you walk on them, and some have coloured keys which are needed to get past locks of the same colour.</p>
<p>The game has two difficulty modes, one giving you more time to complete the levels than the other, and every time you run out of time, you lose a life. The levels are coded so you don't lose your progress when you quit, although you'll lose any score gained.</p>
<p>The graphics are simple and cartoony, and the levels come in a variety of scenarios. There are 100 levels in total and after completing each level a password is displayed with which the player can return to this level at a later time. The game also includes a Jukebox, which allows you to customize the played tracks much like a playlist editor.</p>

<p><em>DND</em> is the seminal mainframe classic, which started computer role-playing games. The name of the game clearly comes from the Dungeons and Dragons (D&amp;D) pen and paper role playing systems, and it uses D&amp;D rules. Further inspired by <a href="/search/?q=pedit5">Pedit5</a>, the game itself is a classic dungeon crawl. It could be counted as a "rogue-like" but doesn't have random dungeons.</p>
<p>DND lets you generate your character by randomly rolling attributes (Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Constitution, Dexterity and Charisma) and then select one of three classes (Cleric, Fighter or Magician -- the first and last are able to cast spells). You then may visit the store where you can buy armour, weapons, etc. -- of course, at the very beginning of the game you have no money to spend! Finally, you have a choice of five dungeons to enter, each one with several levels.</p>
<p>The dungeons are depicted by a top-down text-graphics view. You only see the surrounding 3x3 square of the current level. During exploring, you may encounter monsters which you battle in a very simplistic turn-based fight (you only have the options of Attacking and Evading). If you defeat the monster, you gain experience (sometimes resulting in upgrading a level), and some monsters also leave some treasure. Other treasures are randomly strewn in the dungeon, but beware! Some of them are protected by traps. Other sites you can get along are altars (where you can pray or spend money to get divine protection), books (which randomly change your attributes), fountains with random effects, wands which let you cast spells even as a fighter or Dragon's Lairs containing lot of loot, protected by mighty dragons. There are also teleporters which may randomly zap you to some other part of the dungeon.</p>
<p>The game offers no possibility to save your character -- when you die, it is as if your character never existed! So make sure to leave the dungeon often to buy the best possible equipment.</p>

<p>Taking off from where <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=MiG-29+Fulcrum">MiG-29 Fulcrum</a> left off, Simis created a new simulator based around the top-modern MiG-29M. The M model has been equipped with modernised avionics, a fly-by-wire system and stronger engines.</p>
<p>As opposed to its predecessor, Super Fulcrum takes place in one big scenario instead of single missions. Your task is to represent the Soviet Union in a UN force sent to South America to defend a small country that is being threatened by a bigger and stronger neighbour. The game is relatively open-ended, allowing you to fulfill your missions in the way you see fit instead of monitoring your every step. All missions and their results are handled in your pilot's log.</p>

<p><em>Universe</em> is a complex space exploration game, reminiscent of the original <em>Traveller</em> hard science fiction pen-and-paper role-playing game. It is based in the same fictional universe as <em>Omnitrend's</em> later <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/1058/breach-series/">Breach</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6441/rules-of-engagement-series/">Rules of Engagement</a> series. Running in the same vein as games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Elite">Elite</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/115/starflight/">Starflight</a>, and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8256/sundog-frozen-legacy/">SunDog: Frozen Legacy</a>, its gameplay involves freelance space exploration, trading, space combat, planetary mining, and other economic activities.</p>
<p>In <em>Universe</em>, you are a new independent starship captain in the Local Group, a cluster of stars colonized by Earth in the relatively near future. Mankind has had the hyperdrive for almost four hundred years, but hyperdrives have ship size and range limitations that effectively prevented exploration and colonization beyond a 40-light-year radius. However, in distant orbit around Tau Ceti, an exploration ship found an enormous alien artifact called the hyperspace booster, which allowed one-way travel at a distance of thousands, rather than tens, of light years. The discovery of the hyperspace booster allowed a great Second Interstellar Expansion, and Axia, a star system specially noted in the hyperspace booster's starmaps, was colonized. The Local Group is the cluster of stars surrounding Axia.</p>
<p>For over two hundred years, Axia has received regular packages from Earth via the hyperspace booster, but the packages mysteriously ceased arriving four months ago. The Local Group, considerably behind Earth technologically, is dependent upon the packages and has its own political and economic problems, so this is a grave problem. Panic is spreading as rumors fly about what happened to Earth.</p>
<p>Recently, Axian Central Educational Institute announced that there is evidence of a second hyperspace booster in the Local Group. You, with your new ship and your enormous new debt, are one of those who hope to find the hyperspace booster and collect on the large reward for it. However, operating a starship is expensive, and you will receive no funding. Thus, you must make your own way however you see fit.</p>
<p>When you begin the game, you must choose the terms of your 300,000-credit mortgage and select a starship hull from various models that differ in size, layout, visibility to other ships (and therefore the likelihood of receiving undesirable attention) and sturdiness. Then, after a copious bit of disk-swapping, you proceed to drydock, where you can equip your ship and place all your ship's parts (hyperdrive, bridge, crew quarters, weapons, shuttles, cryogenic storage, et cetera) in its different sections (each of which has differing capacity and visibility -- this matters when a hostile starship hits you and the game must determine where you got hit and what got damaged).</p>
<p>From there, the Local Group is wide open. Trading, passenger transport, ore mining, smuggling, contract cargo transport, and even piracy (or pirate-hunting) are all lucrative options. The game's complexity shows in the example of mining: you must first equip your ship with ore processors, and, if you want to mine low-tech populated planets, assault capsules. You must also hire sufficient crew to run them all. Then, you must find a planet rich in resources and go into a low orbit around it (plotting an efficient orbit by hand can save energy resources); start the computer's Resource and Amphib Assault software packages (which may necessitate turning off Hyper Navigation or Sub-C Navigation to make space); convert Ore IV to energy to charge up the assault capsules; and launch them. When you have done this, an abstract isometric grid representing the landscape is displayed, with each assault capsule shown with a vertical line extending from it to the landscape representing its altitude. Here, you give them orders as they go down to the planetary surface to secure the area, being careful to scan the landing surface repeatedly to ensure it will support the ore processors (the scanners aren't 100% accurate, and you don't want your landers to sink into a swamp, fall into a thermal vent or tip over on jagged landscape).</p>
<p>Combat is conducted abstractly, in a manner vaguely similar to a strategic board game. If you win this fight and secure the landing sites, you then charge up, crew and launch the ore processors. Once they land (assuming they landed safely), choose which type of ore each one mines, and then let them rip until they run low on energy or until they are too damaged to continue, at which time you launch them and they return to the ship with their valuable cargo. If you've done well, you've got a substantial load of precious ore you can sell at the next starport.</p>

<p><em>Leygref's Castle</em> is a remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7387/the-wizards-castle/">Wizard's Castle</a>.</p>
<p>The gameplay is very similar to the original: Explore a castle (represented as an 8x8x8 cube), kill the monsters and grab the treasures to find a powerful item. You do this in a turn-based manner by entering short text commands. Each room of the castle may contain a monster (which will probably result in a simple turn-based combat), a vendor where you can buy and sell things, or special items with random effects (books, magic pools and chests). If you're intelligent enough, you can also cast spells.</p>
<p>Small extensions have been made, for example, there are two additional classes at character generation and more monsters. The game also has enhanced text graphics and a more intuitive interface -- for example, the room contents are not indicated by just one letter like "D", but by short words.</p>
<p>The gameplay may seem simplistic at the beginning, but winning the game involves using right strategies which monsters to attack, when to cast spells and the right use of the items and special places.</p>

<p>You are code-named Orion, an adolescent agent of ACT (the Adventure Connection Team), summoned straight out of the hallways of your high school by Max Huntington to participate in a mission taking you to the darkest jungles of Africa, to locate and defuse the limitless energies stored in an alien artifact there before sinister competing agents of BRUTE (the Bureau of Random Unlawful Terror and Evil) beat you to it!</p>
<p>Other members of your team include an archaeologist ("Digger"), an environmental scientist ("Erda"), a nuclear engineer ("Celeste") and Olano, your guide.  You, of course, are the computer expert, and your skills will be put to the test, typing in included BASIC programs to decrypt secret messages, weigh tolerances, plot courses through labyrinths and calculate necessary angles of deflection.  The abilities of the whole team will be called for to overcome natural obstacles, untrusting natives, the sapping effects of the Devorim Force, BRUTE agents, a traitor in your midst, the perils and traps of the golden lost city containing the artifact, and the deadly artifact itself!</p>
<p>Though the story shares the dynamic 2nd-person perspective ("You try to talk, but you cannot make a sound") of Choose-Your-Own-Adventures, the text (like most books) is a non-interactive fixed-rail trip of zero interactivity -- however, some of the type-in programs included offer numerous outcomes, moving into the "game" field what might otherwise be best categorized as an elaborate set-up for low-impact programming exercises.</p>
<p>An appendix is included describing how to modify the BASIC program listings for greatest compatibility with 10 of the most popular home microcomputer BASICs, as well as describing what each program does and how it works.  Hey!  You got your education in my adventure!</p>

<p>You control Voodoo Girl as she wanders a surreal, idealised mythological Haiti on a shopping errand picking up ingredients for a new recipe her spiritual mentor Mama Houngan is cooking up: nothing out of the ordinary -- just a coconut, some blowfish venom, yellow grave mold, eye of newt, Thorazine, and, oh yes, "the mythical Golden Cauldron, said to be located in the Land of Dreams."  How about a litre of milk, while I'm at it?</p>
<p>In pursuit of the items on this bizarre shopping list (the Cauldron has been fractured into numerous pieces, by the way -- the game's not as short as it might initially seem) you will travel high and low through varied environments -- dodging falling rocks on a cliffside, investigating a cave hidden behind a waterfall; you'll gaze upon a mountaintop rainbow and keep careful note of passages in a subterranean labyrinth ("The Incredibly Twisty Maze-Like Cave").  You'll even win a dance contest!  Through it all you'll encounter characters straight out of Vodoun folklore, from peaceful Rada loa to angry Petro loa and the notorious Baron Samedi, all along the way to a final showdown with the Dream King himself!  All this subversive occultism in a game with little violence and no obscene language (so the author's little brother could play 8)</p>

<p>In this strip poker game, the player can play with up to three players against one of eight digitized women. Each time a girl loses all her money, she takes off some of her clothes (four of the eight girls feature "movies" of the strip, which consist of half a dozen frames). The game features the possibility to set a preferred language and to turn on or off the girls' comments. It also contains a zoom function.</p>

<p>The Starship has depleted all its energy near the orbit of the planet. A decision is made as a last resort to use the remaining bit of energy to teleport 6 members of the crew to the planet surface. As the Captain of the ship you are in charge of the mission, with your handpicked crew of 5 crew members, to explore the surface of the planet to locate the mines. At the mines you will get a chance to purchase Energy Crystals for the price of 100 interstellar credits. But the path to the mines is littered with monsters and natural perils. You can choose to Shoot, Melee, Negotiate or Flee from these obstacles where your decisions will mean life or death for the Landing Party.</p>
<p><em>Landing Party</em> is essentially a text-based strategy game wherein the game experience is customized by the player. This is done by first inputting names of historical figures, celebrities or even friends of family and then starting up the adventure. Because of this feature the game is different every time it is played. The player is limited to four actions every turn, and has to manipulate the crew safely through the hazards.</p>

<p>Based off of the 80s game show of the same name, Press Your Luck allows you to play as one of three contestants in both a quiz round, and a shot at the "big board."  Correct answers in the quiz round give spins for the board round. Spins give you the power to dictate whether you will use them yourself, to increase your total prize money, or force them on others in the hopes they will land on a Whammy. One Whammy will erase a contestant's score, and four will remove them from the game.</p>
<p>This represents the only "home game" version of the show commercially released, and follows the format of the show loyally. Its CGA graphics make it less flashy than the TV version, but the suspense of "pressing your luck" on the board rounds remain intact.</p>

<p>This is a <a href="/search/?q=GameTek">GameTek</a> conversion of the '80s version of the game show <em>Hollywood Squares</em>. Two contestants play a version of tic-tac-toe, with "celebrities" filling in for the squares. The selected celeb is asked a question, answers it, and the contestant must agree or disagree with their answer. A correct guess captures that square. After three games, the winning contestant picks a key and a car out of two separate pools, hoping to match the two up and win the car.</p>

<p>GameTek's home version of the classic game show <em>The Price is Right</em>. Bob Barker and the Beauties are not present, but a multitude of pricing games from the show, as well as the wheel and the showcase, have been faithfully replicated. </p>
<p>Four (or a maximum of eight, counting both rounds - the programme suggests switching players) contestants can play, with the computer filling in for the rest. Whether bidding on Contestant's Row or playing a pricing game, contestants will attempt to closely guess the price of an item provided. All items in the game are often-unintentionally-humorous misspellings of recognizable brand names, to avoid trademark infringement.</p>
<p>Pricing games include the Mountain Climbing (in which your 3 guesses must be less than $300 away in total, otherwise a goat will push you over the edge), Safe Cracking (in which you have 3 possibilities for each part of the price, and must correctly guess it) and the Dice Game (in which you accept or reject random rolls to get the real price).</p>
<p>There is a persistent Hall of Fame with winners and their scores, and a parser for guessing/bidding prices. Players have to type in their price guesses, and answer to the math of how "off" they were, as they would if they were on the show.</p>

<p>In the game you have to exit the maze filled with mythological characters of 5 different philosophies (Japanese/Chinese, Tribal, Egyptian, Indian, European) with the Orb of Time. To acquire it you have to take some item in one room and to bring it to another room to get next one, and so on to the Orb of Time. In each room of the maze you must solve the puzzle, where the main gameplay flows.</p>
<p>You have to put the tiles in the place to fill the entire figures of different sorts. Seven types of tiles are convex combinations of the right-angled triangles. The tiles are moved to you on the belt of conveyor. To successfully finish the level you may dump the unnecessary tiles (up to 50) which do not fit in the places and take the limited space on the conveyor belt. Placing the tiles in all places of specific types will clear the conveyor belt. Time is counting and allows you to make the best time on the level. Completing each puzzle successfully will give you the fixed amount of money and unsuccessfully will take this amount from you. These amounts may show you how difficult the puzzle is and how fast the conveyor belt will move.</p>
<p>Logging in the game with certain name you begin your career.
There are four modes of gameplay: Basic, Master, Random, and Adventure. In Adventure Mode you have 3 lives at start and may gain another ones by scoring 500 points while in other modes you have infinite number of lives. Different difficulty levels allows you to score standard, more (+25%), or less (-25%) amount of points. Highscores are also showing the best of the best.</p>

<p><em>Temple of Apshai</em> is the first in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/35/epyx-inc/">Automated Simulations</a>' <a href="/search/?q=Dunjonquest">Dunjonquest</a> series of role-playing games series and one of the first computer role-playing games. </p>
<p>The game could be described as a graphical "roguelike", but actually it resembles the mainframe classic DND more, as you cannot see the whole level, but only your surroundings. Furthermore, the level maps are not randomized like in Rogue. Still, the gameplay has a lot in common with <a href="/search/?q=Rogue:+The+Adventure+Game">Rogue</a> and other early dungeon crawls: A solo character explores a monster-infested, multi-level dungeon to grab some treasure, everything in top-down view.</p>
<p>The game starts at the Innkeeper by creating a new character (if you already played the game, you can use characters that you created). You get different stat values (in Dungeons &amp; Dragons style) as well as an amount of money that you can spend on weapons, armor and other equipment. Alternatively, you can just enter the stats to "import" characters from other role-playing games (this is also used as a primitive "save / load game" mechanism).</p>
<p>After character generation, you enter the dungeons. On the left, the current room of the dungeon is displayed; the character status and other info are displayed on the right. One thing that sets Temple of Apshai apart from other rpg is that the manual contains detailed room descriptions for each room (that may contain hints about traps or treasures), to create atmosphere despite crude graphics.</p>
<p>You move about and perform actions like opening doors, firing arrows, examining walls for secret doors etc. by pressing key commands. Moving is also done without cursor keys: You turn your character into the direction you want to go and then move him forward by 1 to 9 steps, also selectable by single keystrokes. But take care of fatigue: If you keep running all the time, your fatigue rises, and if it reaches 100%, you cannot move or act for some time -- which can be deadly in the presence of, say, a Giant Bombardier Beetle.</p>
<p>Each room may contain treasures to pick up (sometimes just trash, sometimes gold, sometimes useful items), secret doors which lead to hidden parts of the dungeon and traps, which obviously should be avoided (you can try to search for them). Of course, you will also encounter monsters -- a variety of undead or giant insects -- which you have to fight using turn-based combat. Apart from the normal attack, there is also the thrust (which is more effective, but risky), and you can also fire arrows at distance or parry. To avoid a fight, you may also try to speak to them.</p>
<p>If you return to the Innkeeper, you gain experience, which increases your stats. Still, if you quit the game, the only way to save your character is to write down the stats on paper and re-entering them the next time you play.</p>

<p><em>Upper Reaches of Apshai</em> is an expansion module for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Temple+of+Apshai">Temple of Apshai</a>, featuring a new dungeon (four levels with 150 rooms), and even something like a background story: You have to discover the secrets of Benedict's monastery and the cottage of Merlis the Mage.</p>
<p>Otherwise, gameplay is pretty much the same and resembles other graphical <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1743/rogue/">Roguelikes</a> / mainframe DND-Clones: You're in control of a solo character, running through a dungeon, killing monster, getting experience, evading traps and finding treasures.</p>

<p>Lemonade Stand is a simulation game where players take charge of their own lemonade business in the fictional town of Lemonsville.</p>
<p>Before the start of each business day, players are given the day's weather forecast: Sunny, cloudy or hot and dry.  After receiving the weather report, players take charge of three factors that will affect business for the day: The number of glasses of lemonade to make, the number of advertising signs, and the cost of lemonade per glass.</p>
<p>Depending on how the prices are set during the day's weather conditions, players will either make a profit or lose money until the next day.</p>
<p>Lemonade stand is a single-player game or can be played with up to 30 players alternating turns.</p>

<p>Test your knowledge of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Douglas+Adams">Douglas Adams</a>' Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy series (radio script flavour) with 60 questions in multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank format.</p>

<p>During the span of history, there have been many great strategists that have lead their troops to victory. The greatest of these are known as Battle Lords and are respected greatly. In a tournament to discover the greatest of these battle lords, great warriors have been pulled out from different eras and available to be controlled by the strategists. The Battle Lords will make their champions fight 1 on 1 amongst themselves to find out who can triumph over all others and obtain the highest ranking. The Battle Lord who can master his will over different warriors will become the Ruler of the Battle Lords.</p>
<p>Battle Wrath is a side-scrolling fighting game. The player starts by naming their Battle Lord and then choosing to duel with an enemy battle lord (either computer or another player) in a sanctioned (adjacent rank) or unsanctioned (very different rankings) fight. Each Battle Lord then chooses a character from amongst the available 8 different warriors. These characters then appear in an arena and must deplete each other's energy. The player has two attack buttons, one for arms (punches) and one for legs (kicks), which can be used with the directional keys to perform a variety of moves. If the enemy is hit a certain way, decapitation can occur (though this can be disabled as "PG Mode" in the options), which limits the attacks available from that player. Each character also has a unique "special move", which deplete power gems. These power gems can be gathered by having the character stand still and charge up. Each character also has a "Battle Wrath" special move which can only be used when the Battle Lord is ranked #1 (and therefore is the Ruler), likewise better ranking enhances the normal character abilities.</p>

<p>The bio-droid, Hopy-ONE, was created in a laboratory Professor Jonathan Silt had set up in 2013 to research the F.L.V. (Fast Line Virus), the deadliest strain of mutating
virus in the galaxy. Silt was infected and cryogenically frozen in 2026. Hopy-ONE's mission was to collect samples of
the virus to aid in the production of a vaccine. The fate of Silt, who waits in cryosleep, and the fate of the entire universe, rests with Hopy-ONE.</p>
<p>Bio-droid Hopy-ONE must collect samples of the F.L.V. at each level before moving on to the next. On each level bio-droid may move left/right, stretch and jump by shrinking and releasing itself. Also bio-droid may shoot in horizontal plane to eliminate another droids moving and shooting on the level, and extend tentacles (also morph).</p>

<p>Released after <a href="/search/?q=Pinball+Illusions">Pinball Illusions</a> in the same year.</p>
<p>As its namesake, "Pinball World" has nine pinball tables (rather then usual four), based on places around the globe -
Africa, Australia, Far East, Germany, Hollywood, United Kingdom, New York, North Pole and South America. </p>
<p>Players start the game at unique pinball table menu using flippers to shoot the ball towards their chosen destination.</p>
<p>Each pinball table has hidden access to other countries. This is achieved by activating the relevant lights or earning enough to get bonus points. Bonus tables are specially linked to the location you are playing eg. Africa goes to Egypt.</p>

<p><em>ANSI Dude</em> is an action game whose title obviously refers to its text-only ANSI graphics. The animated intro explains the background story: you play ANSI Dude, who, for unknown reasons, lands his spacecraft on some strange planet and enters a 24-level dungeon. </p>
<p>Each dungeon level takes up one screen and is seen from above. Each level is a maze, often filled with enemies; some blocks may be moved, others destroyed, so you can make your way through the maze. Other elements of the maze are conveyor belts, which move you quickly to another position; mines you should avoid; locked doors that can only be opened by key cards you have to collect first, etc. To help you, there are also energy and battery recharge units as well as extra score items and 1-ups. </p>
<p>To get to the exit and thus the next level, you have not only to eliminate "evil entities", but also solve different puzzles using the four special items at your disposition. These items are: The Suction Cup, which sucks moveable blocks out of nooks and crannies; the Sonic Pickaxe, that breaks destructible walls and moveable blocks; the Plasma Rifle is used to get rid of enemies and set trees on fire, and the Force Field finally allows you to set up a barrier for your enemies. There is a Self-Destruct option, which allows you to restart a level when you get stuck without losing a life.</p>
<p>You have to be careful about your resources: each use of one of your special items uses up a certain amount of battery, and, if your battery is depleted, bye-bye! After the first few of them, levels begin to get more complicated, and you will have to think about the right strategy to get through —often, just blowing any moving enemy will just use up all your energy, and it may be better to set up some force fields.</p>
<p>The game is entirely controlled by key presses. Gameplay occurs in "timed delay" —which means that it is basically turn-based, but if you do nothing for some time, the game still progresses, so you sometimes have to act quick. It also features an in-game help on controls and text character interpretations, as well as a high-score list.</p>

<p>Lawn Mower is a text-only action game, in which you play, well, a lawn mower. Of course, this is not too interesting in itself, so there are some catches. </p>
<p>First of all, you have to mow the entire lawn in a certain time. Furthermore, you earn money for mowing, and the less time you need, the more you earn. To save time, you can change the mowing speed, but be careful: if you go too fast, you'll hit some things not intended to mow, thereby getting a time penalty and damaging the mower. After ten "hits", you must replace the blades of the mower by returning to the starting shed.</p>
<p>The whole thing is further complicated by different obstacles. A gopher appears randomly and leaves holes, and at advanced levels, a dog begins to chase you -- all destroy your mower on touch. Every destroyed mower costs you 10 dollars, and you only have a limited number of mowers at your disposition.</p>
<p>The first levels may seem easy, but don't get fooled: it soon gets pretty hard. The game ends when all your mowers are gone, and if mowed well enough, you get the possibility of getting into a high score list.</p>

<p>Some time in the recent past, the main computer of a big corporation went mad due to some electrical disturbance. It gained control over its operator and began to influence other employees. Your mission is to find the main frame, defeat the operator and return to the lobby alive.</p>
<p><em>Mission: Mainframe</em> is a shareware variation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7387/the-wizards-castle/">Wizard's Castle</a>, a mix of a board game and role-playing, set in a bizarre contemporary / sci-fi environment.</p>
<p>Before beginning the game, you first create your character. You may choose one of four character types which differ in their D&amp;D-like vital stats. As in other RPGs, the stats may be increased by gathering experience. You then start in the lobby of the corporation, where you can buy some basic equipment by spending chips and bytes (instead of gold) on such useful items as Junk Food (which is very important, otherwise you'll starve quickly), Strategies (corresponding to magic spells in fantasy RPGs) and Office Supplies (replace weapons and armor, thus assisting you in dealing with reluctant corporate employees).</p>
<p>Other things you can do in the lobby is go the Health Club, where you can build up your stats, as well as restore your Power &amp; Plans (the power level represents hit points, and plans are needed to use strategies -- e.g., spell points). Finally, you can start the real game by taking the elevator to other floors.</p>
<p>The company is located in a thirty floor building. Each floor is divided into an 8x8 grid of squares. Each square may contain something, like employees you have to deal with, or file cabinets which may contain helpful items. As the contents of the squared is determined randomly at the beginning, each game is different. Depending on the difficulty level you chose at the beginning of the game, you can see the contents of the squares, or you have to move onto it to know what it contains.</p>
<p>When you meet an employee, you can deal with him in several ways, for example trying to bribe him, fight him, use a strategy, evade him, trick him, or try to distract him by making a phone call. The success of all these actions depends on different statistics, both of you and the employee. There are 24 different types of employees, and it's your task to find out how best to deal with each of them. When you successfully deal with an employee, you gain experience and can raise your grade (level), which increases your survival chances in the higher floors, where the employees get more and more powerful.</p>
<p>The file cabinets may contain chips and bytes as well as items like office supplies or beverages. Some of those are helpful, some are harmful (poison) -- and some can make you drunk. Luckily, you can first take a sip from a drink, getting a hint about what it may be. As some cabinets are trapped, you also should be careful with them.</p>
<p>The task is complicated by the lights which sometimes go out. To restore light, you have to light a match (which can be taken from some employees) and find a fuse box. Also, you have to get special key cards to get beyond floor 10 and floor 20 by defeating bosses who guard them.</p>
<p>At any time, you can get back to the elevator and lobby, where you can sell your treasures, rest and buy new supplies. You can also quit the game here, getting the opportunity to save your character first.</p>

<p><em>Team Suzuki</em> uses official support to simulate motorcycle racing using polygon graphics. The action is viewed from the cockpit. Contact with other bikes or the scenery gradually increases the damage percentage, which will eliminate you at 100%. Crashing results in an external replay of your final moments.</p>
<p>Joystick and mouse control options exist, with the mouse being ultimately faster but harder to learn. 125, 250 and 500cc options exist, with the difficulty higher on the more powerful bikes. You can contest a full season, single race, or simply practice on a free track. </p>
<p>16 circuits are featured, from Suzuka and Misano to Rijeka and Philip Island, with races over 5-50 laps. Your opponents are seven factory Suzuki riders from various classes at the time, including 1993 500cc World Champion Kevin Schwantz.</p>

<p><em>Designasaurus II</em> is an educational simulation game with action elements, playing in the far future. It enables you to create your own dinosaurs and then teleport them to different time geological time periods, in quest of hidden dinosaur geneprints.</p>
<p>The background story: In the year 2501, the renegade scientist Dr. Max von Fusion has stolen the Designasaurus Research Foundation's prized Gigantodon geneprints and hidden them in different geological time periods, leaving only a poem with some hints about their whereabouts. You play a researcher who goes on the quest for the hidden prints to recreate the fabulous Gigantodon, get millions of credits and get promoted Chief Scientist.</p>
<p>The game consists of two parts. First, you select a dinosaur to go exploring with. You can either select a predefined or create your own dinosaur, combining head, body, arms and tails of existing dinosaurs as you want. The combination of parts affects the dinosaurs attributes, like fighting skills or speed. Once you have created a dinosaur and given him a fancy name, you get the opportunity of printing it out before you go exploring.</p>
<p>You are now ready for exploration. Select a geological era and a climate and teleport your creature there. You now start the overhead action-adventure part where you have to try to find the Gigantodon's geneprints. Of course, there are other dinosaurs too -- depending on the period and climate. Upon meeting, you can either eat them (if they are small enough), mate with them (if they are of your species and the opposite sex) or fight them. Just like in real life, successful mating is the most complicated, as afterwards you have to defend the eggs and then feed the young.</p>
<p>You also have to keep an eye on your hunger, thirst and fatigue, so be sure to eat, drink and rest from time to time. At any time, you can save your game or teleport back to the foundation. This also happens automatically if your dinosaur is badly wounded, so you cannot lose in this game. Finally, you also get dinosaur facts displayed from time to time while exploring. </p>
<p>You get points for successful playing, especially for finding parts of the geneprints. Once you have found all parts, you are promoted Chief Scientist and have won the game.</p>

<p><em>Facing the Empire</em> is an interstellar space war simulator. As a Lyran you must protect your Star Bases from the invading Morte Star Empire and drive them out of this sector of the galaxy. At first you need to build up your forces by constructing bases and researching the whereabouts of the Morte. Then you must hunt them down while defending your Colonies and Bases.</p>
<p>Taking turns the player as the Lyran forces chooses destinations to search and when located the enemies to attack. The Computer as the Morte Star Empire and the player roll within the game engine to determine the outcome of the battles and missions.</p>

<p>In its dark mansion the Hogbear awaits its next victim. Guarded by a Vampire, an Ogre, and various other creatures, the player will have to roam the many rooms of the estate and hope to escape with your life. Hopefully you can locate some weapons and use them in fighting these guarding monsters and ultimately Hogbear itself.</p>
<p>Hogbear is an updated version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Castle+Adventure">Castle Adventure</a> wherein the game uses part graphic and part text commands to explore, loot and battle in order to escape from the castle. The game, though graphical, uses a lot of ASCII to visualize its graphics. The tone of the game is humorous but with a mean streak personified through the narrative which seems to have been written by the game's antagonist Hogbear himself.</p>
<p>Combating the monsters involves moving into them with a selected weapon ranging from bladed weapons to dead chickens. This precursor to what is now labeled "survival horror" games has graphics (though marketed as an update of Castle Adventure, has little graphical difference from that game except for the use of colour) but needs text input for commands. Thankfully moving utilizes the cursor keys meaning the player can literally move themselves around the rooms and from room to room. In order to interact with objects such as picking them up you will need to be in close proximity.</p>

<p>T-Zero is a highly unusual piece of epic interactive fiction, playing in a Lewis Carroll-like surreal surrounding, with a strong emphasis on word puzzles.</p>
<p>The game starts with you awakening in a River Bed. You have to explore your surroundings to find six objects, "scattered across ages and landscapes", to transport them "to progressively future time zones where they can right the troubled times."</p>
<p>The puzzles are quite hard, as they often use puns (as in Infocom's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/472/nord-and-bert-couldnt-make-head-or-tail-of-it/">Nord and Bert</a>) or elements of Western pop culture (like the Beatles). Non-native English speakers could have a hard time to solve this game.</p>
<p>The parser of T-Zero is quite unusual, powerful but tricky. It understands uncommon verbs like IMAGINE (this one allows you to visualize objects and locations have not encountered). Still, it sometimes is quite touchy and requests you to type the exact phrase it wants.</p>
<p>The game also contains a hint system.</p>

<p>Bundesliga Manager Hattrick is a German football (soccer) management simulation, the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6165/bundesliga-manager-professional/">Bundesliga Manager Professional</a>. The player or players (up to four) take the reigns of their favourite teams and try to lead them to both sportive and economical success.</p>
<p>For example, you can take out loans, invest money in real estate, buy new players, send them to training camps, strike advertisement deals, expand your stadium, select training methods and decide upon tatics and formation.</p>
<p>The latter two can still be modified as required during matches which are presented in a new "realitymode", one of bigger changes from previous installments of the series. Instead of just seeing a pre-calculated textual representation of the match, little pixelated player now move around the field and you can see where the ball is going and adopt your strategy accordingly.</p>

<p><em>Star Saga: One</em> is the first of an innovative role-playing trilogy (yet only two titles were released). It attempts to bring the atmosphere of pen &amp; paper RPG and Choose Your Own Adventure game books to the computer, while the more tedious task of book-keeping are made by the computer -- truly "Interactive Literature".</p>
<p>The game comes with two large fold-out maps and tokens to be moved around the map, as well as a dozen booklets containing text passages to be read when the game tells you to do so (much like the early <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/35/epyx-inc/">Epyx</a> <a href="/search/?q=Dunjonquest+legacy">Dunjonquest games</a>).</p>
<p>When starting play, you can choose one to six players from preset character. The interesting thing is that the characters are meant to be played by separate players, sitting together in front of the computer, as in a pen &amp; paper RPG. The difference is that there is no party, as each player has different tasks and missions and moves around independent of the others.</p>
<p>When playing, each player moves his token on the map, then enters the movements and actions into the program, which calculates all changes to character stats and inventory, calculates combat, and tells the player which text passage to read. While progressing, the players will make new discoveries, battle aliens, trade with other players and NPCs, and discover the plot of the game.</p>

<p>It was a hot day. You were returning from a business trip in your sports car. The contract had not signed and you were upset. You sped up your car using its turbo-compressor, lost control and crashed into a truck. You survived, but just barely. You had fallen into a coma. During three years your soul was trapped in a strange place known as the Inferno.</p>
<p>In this game the object is to escape the Inferno. You must explore, interact with characters, as well as collect and use inventory items. Above all, you must not fall into Satan's hands.</p>

<p>Three new courses are provided in this data disk for <a href="/search/?q=PGA+Tour+Golf">the original PGA Tour Golf</a>. All are real-life courses – Southwind, Scottsdale and Eagle Trace.</p>

<p>Puffy and his fortuitously-named girlfriend Puffyn are trapped in an alien world full of threats, traps and surprises. Taking control of one or the other (Puffy is more powerful but Puffyn can move faster) you must find your way through.</p>
<p><em>Puffy's Saga</em> is an overhead view maze game that represents a cutesy variant of <a href="/search/?q=Gauntlet">Gauntlet</a>. Each of the 20 levels has a quota of dots to eat before the level is completed. These levels are inhabited by foes who surround you and reduce your energy on contact. Meat restores 100 energy points each time - this total can go beyond its starting level of 500. You are armed with a gun, which not only kills foes but also turns many of them into edible energy-giving snacks.</p>
<p>Keys must be collected and used to open doors. Magic Goms allow you to use a map or a fire-bolt. Other available bonuses include invincibility periods and teleporting.</p>

<p>A friendly teddy bear is on hand to help teach the skills children should have on starting school. They are controlled using the space and return keys, so young children should be able to play with little support. Most games have multiple difficulty levels, which reveal themselves after the easiest has been solved.</p>
<p>If Teddy's friend is to climb the tree successfully, you must recognise which of the items in front of you can be paired up. Initially there are 6, rising to 18 as you get them right. The Gallery game involves matching pictures with the correct label, with more and more options as the game difficulty increases. In the actions game you must choose an action word and watch Teddy act it out.</p>
<p>To help teddy get up the steps to his beloved honey, you must correctly count the numbers of everyday objects such as teddies, trees and clouds on a screen. The Letters game takes place at the fair - matching the letters displayed will earn your Teddy an ice cream. Parents may wish to offer the same reward to their children, but should watch out for E numbers. The colouring module is less a game and more an experiment in design - choose the colours of each item to form a picture.</p>

<p><em>Story Machine</em> is a product aimed at children for teaching language skills. </p>
<p>The product contains animations assigned to key nouns, and verbs. By typing phrases such as "The Girl Jumps Over the Flower" will show the player an animation of a girl jumping over a flower. Through this method, players are able to create short "stories" of about 40 words long and have the computer animate them. These stories are also limited to having 4 "actors" (animated noun objects) in each.</p>

<p><em>The Grandpa of Zeet and Deedle is a great explorer, but he hasn't returned to the Moon from his latest destination: the Earth! His grand-children take it upon themselves to follow his trail and rescue him from whatever terrestrial menace has detained him, after interacting with an extensive array of whimsical, surreal characters.</em></p>
<p>SpaceKids is a good look at what interactive movies looked like just before the CD-ROM format became the new standard for extensive multimedia-rich content storage -- instead of meg-heavy digitized actors we get byte-thrifty pre-rendered sprites in front of 3D backdrops, twirling around the screen and stretching or skewing in realtime with every possible bump or jostle. To please the kids, pretty much everything in this game that isn't made of candy has got a human face with big, pleading eyes on it somewhere.</p>
<p>Gameplay loosely follows the model set by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Dragon+s+Lair">Dragon's Lair</a>: non-interactive animated segments (sometimes prolonged ones) are punctuated by episodes of player input, consisting of moving the actor of the moment -- sometimes our protagonists, sometimes their opponent -- in the right direction at the right moment to pass some timed obstacle or choose a fork in the plot. <em>Unlike</em> Dragon's Lair, death does not lurk around every corner; failing to successfully traverse the obstacle (or, uh, interact vaguely with the new strange situation in the arbitrarily appropriate fashion) generally yields only another opportunity to do so.</p>

Scenery includes airports across the entire United States, including four metropolitan regions in detail, plus Montreal and Toronto, Canada. Owners of subLOGIC's <a href="/search/?q=Great+Britain+Scenery+Collection">Great Britain Scenery Collection</a> can import it into Flight, but all other subLOGIC Scenery Disks are incompatible. Maps of the metro regions and a navigation table are included in the game box.</p>
<p>Flight was originally released in 1994 as Flight Light, which included only the CitationJet and the four metropolitan regions (New York/Boston, Chicago, Dallas/Austin, and Los Angeles/San Diego). The rest of the aircraft and scenery were later included in the 1995 release of Flight Light Plus, which became simply Flight in 1996 after subLOGIC was acquired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/22646/sierra/">Sierra</a>. The game was succeeded by <a href="/search/?q=Pro+Pilot+99">Pro Pilot</a>, developed under <a href="/search/?q=Dynamix">Dynamix</a>.</p>

<p><em>Evets</em> is a relatively rare <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Rogue+Variants">roguelike</a> game that has several unusual features like controlling a party of characters instead of a solo character, and group of monsters instead of single monsters. Apart of this and the slightly unusual menu-based user interface, the game is a quite typical traditional.</p>
<p>The game starts at the main menu, where you'll first have to assemble a party. You can create character by choosing a race (six races available), a class (one of four classes, but there are four more classes in the game) and an alignment (D&amp;D like, plus an "Amoral" alignment) and then distributing some points on some class-determined stats. Each character is already quite well equipped, so you can immediately start exploring the dungeons, but you can also spend some money buying better stuff.</p>
<p>The dungeons appear in usual roguelike manner -- top-down view in ASCII graphics. You move through rooms and corridors, occasionally meeting groups of monsters which results in a turn-based combat.</p>
<p>During combat, you have the possibilities to fight, cast a spell, use an item, parry or run. You may stumble upon several groups of monsters at once, like 4 skeletons and 2 gromes, in which case you'll have to choose whom to attack first, which gives the combat a tactical touch. When you won a fight, you get experience and gold.</p>
<p>The dungeons also feature some special locations like traps, shops and a review board, the latter revealing another specialty of <em>Evets</em>, which is switching character classes during the game.</p>
<p>Despite its unusual and promising features, the game has a quite cumbersome and non-standard interface which makes it difficult to handle. For example, spells you want to cast have to be entered by full name, which is somewhat cumbersome as some spell's name have been abbreviated ("Magic missle"), but at least, the last entered spell is the default.</p>

<p>Nearly 5 years before <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/272/star-wars-rebel-assault/">Rebel Assault</a> and other fully-rendered CD-ROM titles popularised the rail-shooter gameplay, <a href="/search/?q=Tynesoft">Tynesoft</a> used it for a game with an unusual setting. You are on board a roller coaster which has been layered with targets to shoot out. </p>
<p>The roller coaster follows its natural path, swinging from side to side and up and down, while you aim a turret at the targets and shoot them out. After completing its cycle, the roller coaster reverses, moving through the same area moving backwards. A co-operative two player mode exists, in which each player controls a crosshair. Make sure to hang on as the ride turns.</p>

<p>This is another version of <a href="/search/?q=DND">DND</a>, originally written for the Heathkit Z-150 computer's GW-BASIC, and later compiled for DOS. Apart from featuring colored text graphics, the game is quite similar to the original, it's a solo dungeon crawl using <em>Dungeons &amp; Dragons</em> rules. Goal of the game is to find the Lord Master of the 50 level Heathkit Dungeon. </p>
<p>At the beginning of the game, you can choose to start a new game or play with a saved character. You then enter the dungeon and start exploring on the 1st level. During the game, you will see a text-based 3x3 top-down overview of your surrounding, while status information is displayed on the right and messages below. The whole game is played in timed delay -- it is turn-based, but you have only some secounds to enter your choice for each turn, so don't take too long!</p>
<p>During the game, you will encounter monsters (there are 20 different types, each with several levels, ranging from Gnolls and Skeletons up to Vampires, Demons and Dragons), which you can fight to gain experience points. Of course, there are also traps and treasures on your way, the latter containing gold or helpful items like Elven cloaks or magic scrolls. You can rest to restore spell points and save your character in taverns strewn in the dungeon. Spell points can also be refreshed by donating and worshipping at altars -- all in all, the game features 36 spells, which you will learn by advancing levels. Other things you may encounter are stairwells, teleports and gray misty cubes (acting like an elevator for all 50 levels).</p>

<p>The year is 2112. Scientific base "Neuronix" based on Alaska reported that deadliest virus AX 415 has infected some of its employees. They encircled itself by power field to prevent any outside infection. But the base has the center of teleportation in time - "Transtemporix", and some employees mad of their fate has used it to run away the base and put in danger the present society and ancient big civilizations.</p>
<p>You, Agent Martix, was chosen by Jimonson Government to be responsible for carrying out the mission on eliminating the individuals infected by virus, who has spreading out the Neuronix in the times. A Cyborg RX-22 will accompany you during all length of your mission because of his remarkable knowledge of ancient civilizations stored in several gigabytes of its RAM and invisibility to anybody except you.</p>
<p>The Epochs you will visit include:
1) Alaska ( 2112 A.D. ) - present days on the base "Neuronix";
2) Central Europe ( 85002 B.C. ) - first Homosapiens in  Paleolithic;
3) Highlands of Scotland ( February 16th, 1135 ) - feudal lords and castles near Loch-Ness;
4) Incan Empire ( June 25th, 1527 ) - Indians, Capital of Empire, and Holiday of the Sun;
5) Japan ( May 12th, 1535 ) - castle in Edo city, shoguns, Japanese culture.</p>
<p>This text adventure game was made in French.</p>

<p><em>Mega Blast</em> is a game based upon simple rules popularized by such classic titles like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Dyna+Blaster">Dyna Blaster</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bomberman">Bomberman</a>. A couple of players are placed in a maze and each of them have time-bombs at disposal. The goal is to eliminate adversaries; players can achieve this by detonating an explosive when enemy is in its range.</p>
<p>The walls and obstructions will initially make it difficult for you to move, but most of them are not resistant to explosions, so you can blast your way through. When you knock down a part of the maze, it may reveal a hidden bonus, like increased firepower, additional bombs, and so on. The most important thing, and the core concept of the game, is that bombs have delayed explosion time. You have to be very careful and pay attention where you place them, so that it won't turn out later that not only you did no harm to your enemy, but took your own life instead.</p>
<p>Mega Blast also introduces such new gameplay features as:</p>
<p><strong>Flying bombs.</strong> The player has a possibility to throw them in four directions. Bombs are bouncing off themselves and screen edges, exploding when they reach other bombs' field of fire, or spontaneously, after some time. This offers many new possibilities and enriches gameplay strategy.</p>
<p><strong>Bonuses.</strong> Apart from standard bonuses (prizes found under destroyed walls) such as increased fire range, or additional bombs, the game introduces surprise items. Those may have a positive effect (ability for the player to walk through walls, increased moving speed, unlimited fire range) as well as a quite undesirable one (bombs spontaneously falling out of player's hands, exchange of places with another character, or mixed up controls).</p>

<p>Castle Ralf is a shareware interactive fiction first released in 1987.</p>
<p>The background story: While driving out on holiday, you get lost in the middle of nowhere, when suddenly your tire has a puncture. Remembering a driveway just before the tire blew, you return to it, and guess where it leads? Right, to Castle Ralf. (Reminds me of Rocky Horror Picture Show, that.) The game starts with you trying to enter the castle.</p>
<p>Once you did it (this won't be too difficult, but will cut off the way back), you'll quickly find that Castle Ralf is quite big and peculiar, extending onto three floors and a basement, including a Grand Central Closet and a sauna. You'll find some keys, enough burnt pizza for 87 people and a gigantic cheese, a video game called "Chiwawars!" which you can play, but also some technical puzzles which you will have to solve, designed by the castle's slightly eccentric owner, some Dr. Bellefleur.</p>
<p>Castle Ralf features an innovative user interface: Besides typing your commands the traditional way, you can also select verbs with the cursor keys. This comes with a simple but well-done parser which understands some unusual and/or useful words, like IT, MAP (which gives you a map of the places you visited so far -- interactive fiction with automapping!), SMELL or COGITATE (which may or may not give you some hint). You can also use multiple commands, as " N. W. S. GET BEANS." All in all, the parser / verb selection combination works quite well, once you got used to it.</p>
<p>The game's puzzles are quite challenging, but logical. As you will die a lot, you should SAVE often.
The texts are short and to the point, being often quite funny and even a little Zorkian. They thus manage to convey a unique atmosphere while you are exploring the vast castle and try to solve Bellefleur's devious mechanical puzzles.</p>

<p>These six small educational games star Freddy the Frog. Each uses simple controls to ensure that children can play without difficulty from the software.</p>
<p>Using forward, back, left and right keys Freddy must get to various important buildings as depicted on the screen. In Adding he is presented with a network of lily pads, some of which contain numbers or mathematical symbols. Land on these in the correct order to produce a correct sum. In the Toyshop, first identify toys from their names, then choose a toy at a specified price, and then combine goods to meet a specified price limit.</p>
<p>Electricity allows you to learn about circuits - by working out whether an existing layout will work, and modifying it so that it will. The next game involves telling the time, so as to get the prince his key. Funtext teaches information searching using a Ceefax-type environment.</p>

<p><em>Rings of Zilfin</em> is an unusual, but relatively unknown early fantasy solo RPG by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/10188/ali-n-atabek/">Ali N. Atabek</a>, who went on to create the <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/157/magic-candle-series/">Magic Candle</a></em> series. It was meant for beginners to computer RPGs, featuring no character creation, simple game play and movie-like cut scenes, concentrating more on atmosphere than on character stats.</p>
<p>The background: Long ago, the Zilfins (mighty wizards) established an enchanted realm of peace and property in Batiniq. They created two rings of power which, worn together, made the wearer invincible. Unfortunately, the evil necromancer Lord Dragos has found one of these rings and has come to great power. The only hope to prevent him finding the second one is Reis, a young boy possessing some innate magical ability. In the introduction, Reis barely escapes Dragos' minions, and leaves his home village. </p>
<p>After "character creation" (giving Reis an optional other name and selecting one of 10 difficulty levels, which affect your starting resources), you start your quest to find the Zilfins and their second ring and to develop your magical abilities on the way.</p>
<p>The game features a huge world with over 100 villages and towns in four kingdoms. Each town has up to three buildings you can enter -- shops with items to buy and sell, inns to eat and drink and rest, amongst others --, and also people you can talk to (careful, some are shape shifters!), sometimes offering valuable information. There are also a few dungeons and some caves to explore, but most of the game is played in towns or travelling between them.</p>
<p>When leaving a location, the game shows a map where you can select the direction off your next target. While travelling between locations, the game shows an interesting side scrolling view. You can set your walking speed, which influences your fatigue, and stop when you encounter pools or plants. Pools can be drunk from (may have positive or negative effects), and the plants can be gathered and eaten later. Some plants have special effects, there are "magic mushrooms" and some other healing and boosting plants. This plant system is one of the things that distinguishes this game.</p>
<p>While travelling, you may also encounter Lord Dragos' minions, which results in some pseudo-real time combat. The monsters are often quite unusual, like Barvils (mutated bats), Basurs (flying skulls) or Zumagin (the death ray demon). Protected by different armors, you can attack with arrows or swords or by casting spells. The game makes a difference between ground-based and air-bourne monsters -- the latter cannot be attacked with swords, of course.</p>
<p>The spell system is quite simple. There are three spell levels: Apprentice, Master and Grand Master, each one lets you know more and more powerful spells. Casting a spell always costs some fatigue, and you have to prepare the spell first.</p>
<p>The game is highly non-linear and there are several approaches possible. For example, it is possible to make money by trading, buying cheap items in one town and selling them in another town -- which, in fact, is the only way to make money in the beginning. All commands are given by pressing keys, like "G" for getting things or "C" for casting spells. The game may be saved when exiting towns and loaded at the main menu.</p>

<p><em>Moria</em> is a member of the <a href="/search/?q=Rogue+Variants">roguelike</a> RPGs. It features several innovations, like a town level and dungeons levels that are bigger than one screen, and was the first open-source and freeware roguelike.</p>
<p>The goal of <em>Moria</em> is to descend in the dungeons of Moria and defeat the evil Balrog who is cowardly hiding on the lowest level. Other than this, there are no other references to J.R.R. Tolkien in this game.</p>
<p>You begin the game by creating your character, choosing your sex and one of eight available races. You can then roll your stats and, when you got some which suit you, choose your class from six available classes (you can only some of them, depending on your stats). After entering a name, you're ready to roll.</p>
<p>The game is entirely played in turns, features text-only graphics showing your environment from above, and is played by entering character commands.</p>
<p>You start in town, where you can visit several shops to buy weapons, armor, torches, food, and other useful -- and sometimes magic -- items. You can barter with the shopkeepers to get reduced prices.</p>
<p>The dungeon levels are randomly generated. They contain a variety of monsters, some of which are invisible, and items, as well as traps and secret doors. Each level has more than one exit. As in other roguelikes, you explore the dungeons, kill monsters as you go, and try to accumulate as much treasure as possible.</p>

<p><em>Star Command</em> is a sci-fi role-playing game set in a vast fictional universe and featuring tactical space and squad-level combat, similar to SSI's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/502/pool-of-radiance/">Pool of Radiance</a> released the same year and other games of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=SSI+Gold+Box">Gold Box series</a>. The game has nothing to do with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Star+Command+Deluxe">Star Command Deluxe</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1280/star-command-revolution/">Star Command: Revolution</a>.</p>
<p>The game plays in a distant future. Earth is a distant memory, having been destroyed long ago. The small human population is concentrated in a small portion of the galaxy, called "The Triangle" due to its form, and threatened from its neighbors: The Alpha border is plagued by pirates, recently united under a certain "Blackbeard", the Beta border is frequently ambushed by an intelligent insect-like alien race who is thought to plan an all-out war. The third border leads to largely unknown territory with space-faring robots of unclear origin. The only hope for mankind is the Star Command, the headquarter of military forces. You control a spaceship crew, trying to secure peace by completing missions issued by Star Command.</p>
<p>The game starts at Startport Luna, where you first will have to assemble and equip your crew and buy a starship before rushing out saving humanity. Assembling the crew, i.e. character generation, is quite detailed and done by first recruiting and then training characters. Each character has seven basic stats like Strength and Intelligence. If the stats look okay, you select one of four classes (Pilots for flying ships and communicating with aliens, Marines for espionage, Soldiers for fighting, and finally Espers with strange psi powers). The character now has to be trained for eight years; each year, you select a skill to be trained, and, if you're lucky, the character increases his skill -- he may also learn nothing. Skills can be trained more than once, increasing the effective skill level. All in all, there are 18 skills, with a different set available for each class. Some trainings does not improve skills, but basic stats -- Special Forces, for example, increases speed and accuracy.</p>
<p>Character usually start out as Privates, but they the rank can be increased by going to Officer's school. There are 13 ranks up to Grand Admiral, with increasing pay -- money is sparse, so this may be a good choice. Then again, it may be not. Later in the game, with enough funds, you can create clones of your character to replace him when he dies. Character also age during play.</p>
<p>After you have created your crew, it's time to spend your money. First of all, you need a spaceship -- there are nine different ships, with different attributes like armor or fuel capacity. The ship may be upgraded by several systems, including from engines, guns, shields, drop ships, computers, etc. Finally, you have to equip your crew, again choosing among a vast selection of armor, weapons and miscellaneous items. Having a fully equipped crew at your disposal, you're now ready to get some mission from the Space Command and launch your ship.</p>
<p>While in space, you are shown a view of the environment, with commands at the bottom and the crew or ship status on the right. The galaxy is quite big, consisting of 32x32 sectors, each containing several systems, with each one having up to 10 planets. You can select the view, changing from Galaxy Scan (showing the whole galaxy) to Long Range Scan (showing 8x8 sectors) to Sector Scan (all systems and starports of a sector) to System Scan (the star and its planets) to Visual Scan (direct view of a planet, starport or space station with its statistics).</p>
<p>While travelling through space, you may encounter ships. The game then switches to turn-based tactical combat -- but that may include peaceful interaction. In each turn, you first have a selection of communication strategies -- bargain, plead, ask, demand, even impersonate a deity are possible. Then you can move and rotate your ship, and finally, you can fire. Some situations, for example when you're boarding an enemy ship or while travelling on land, you can engage in squad combat, which closely resembles spaceship combat, but is influenced gravity, atmosphere and terrain.</p>
<p>One some missions, you will have to explore underground complexes, which may contains traps and other specials events. There are 17 missions all in all, but they have no time limit, so you can do other things -- and you should, like trying to get some cash. Additionally, some missions are randomly generated, so each game differs somewhat. Character get training after each completed mission, but they can also pay for it, which is very expensive.</p>

<p>As its subtitle states, <em>Firestorm</em> is a forest fire simulation -- the first in a series of similar games by Cricket Software, in which you control ground and air based forces to fight forest fires in realtime.</p>
<p>After starting the game, you see the map where the action takes place -- a top-down view of 180,000 acres of forested coastland somewhere in the Northwest, containing mountains and hills, roads and buildings, rivers and a lake. You now start with setting up the situation, placing up to five fires and initializing the wind direction. Both may be done randomly by the computer or manually by you.</p>
<p>After pressing the GO button the real action begins: The fires start to slowly spread out, influenced by wind and terrain, and you have to control your four fire crews and two air tankers to prevent it. The fire crews can be used to cut fire-lines in the forests, preventing fire propagation, but you first have to move them near the fire, so be sure to let your ground crew use the roads. The two air tankers at your disposal can drop lines of fire retardants which will also stop the fire's progression. After dropping the retardants, the air units have to get back to their respective base for refueling, which takes some time. </p>
<p>You can pause the simulation at any time to think about your next move. The game is highly configurable -- you can change the speed of fire crews, air units and of the fire, and you can select the air units' refueling and their retardants' drop time before starting the game. Wind parameters can be switched from manual to automatic anytime during the game. The game is entirely mouse-controlled.</p>
<p><em>Firestorm</em> turns out to be a simple, yet realistic and immersive simulation of fighting forest fires, requiring rapid decision and strategic skill.</p>

<p>In <em>robotfindskitten</em>, the name is the game: You are robot, and you have to find kitten. Sounds simple. </p>
<p>Problems start with the fact that there are other objects which are not kitten! Even worse: You don't know which objects are kitten and which are not! The only way to differentiate them both is touching. If you touch a non-kitten, you get some quirky phrase, otherwise: robotfindskitten!</p>
<p>The game is a mindless yet meditative and (due to its idiosyncratic humour) quite fun lo-fi adventure-oid with some similarities to <a href="/search/?q=Roguelike+games">roguelikes</a> (all-ASCII, single player, top-down randomized dungeon) and others to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20741/progress-quest/">Progress Quest</a>. </p>
<p>It also comes with an impressive base of platforms, having been ported to over 20 systems, encompassing old and new, consoles and home computers. Particularly interesting is the OpenGL 3D Windows version aptly named <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/24420/robotfindskitten3d/">robotfindskitten3d</a>.</p>

<p>Your primary role is to manage a soccer team, and watch as they develop after each match, which earns or loses you money, without ever seeing or taking part in on field action.</p>
<p>Chose from British and Italian football leagues to custom your own team from selection of top players to hire, fire or exchange with another club. Decisions made will determine their success, chose poorly and it reflects in the overall results. To help in the process, you can review their salaries and receive weekly financial information after a game. 
Pick avenue for your team to play, some are more expensive then others as are the top teams you play against. A good crowd turn out helps to boast profits as you gain a percentage of total ticket sales.</p>

<p>This is an updated version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3757/links-386-pro/">Links 386 Pro</a> which retains its <em>Harbour Town Golf Links</em> and adds a previously released add-on: either <a href="/search/?q=Links:+Championship+Course:+Banff+Springs">Championship Course - Banff Springs</a> (US release) or <a href="/search/?q=Links:+Championship+Course:+The+Belfry">Championship Course - The Belfry</a> (European release). Multimedia enhancements include aerial flyby's with music and commentary, additional comments by comedian Bobcat Goldthwait (your personal caddie). The game now tracks better the add-on courses and they can be played off the CD.</p>

<p>A mouse-driven starship command simulation, with a user interface known as LYCAR, and similar to the LCARS system from the TV show Star Trek: The Next Generation .</p>
<p>First of all you have create yourself as Fleet Commander and assign a mission, with previously adjusted Star System, Ships, Captains, and Aliens has objectives, which you must achieve to complete it. So the main gameplay lays in completing the missions where you control your starship using tactical, communication, and simulation skills. If you are successful, your commander will receive promotions and honors.</p>
<p>Due to the <a href="/search/?q=Interlocking">Interlocking Game System</a> owners of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8116/breach-2/">Breach 2</a> can use this to play out the game's battles. Also, a Mission Editor is present, where you may create a mission choosing the Star System, Ships, and Aliens involved.</p>

<p>The speech pack for Mantis adds two megabytes of digitized speech to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9496/xf5700-mantis-experimental-fighter/">original game</a>. This includes the inflight sequences as well as some cinematic scenes and tutorials.</p>

<p>The attack on Earth by the Cybrids has been repelled and humanity is starting to rebuild. But a second wave is already incoming, and the battle starts again.</p>
<p>The add-on to the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1402/metaltech-earthsiege/">Earthsiege</a> adds three new campaigns to play and several new landscapes. As for new hardware, there is a new HERC (the powerful Apocalypse) and several new Cybrid weapons as well.</p>

<p><em>CHAMP Galaxia</em> is a DOS shareware remake of Namco's classic 1980 <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Galaxian">Galaxian</a> arcade shooter. Like the other games in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=CHAMProgramming">CHAMProgramming</a>'s series of arcade remakes, it is remarkable for closely emulating the original, the smooth gameplay and two game modes, the original "Classic" and the enhanced "Champ" mode.</p>
<p>The "Classic" mode plays and feels like the arcade machine, with very similar graphics, sound and gameplay: You play a spaceship, moving horizontally at the bottom of the screen, and shooting up at a bunch of Space Invaders-like aliens, which attack you in waves becoming harder and harder with the game.</p>
<p>The "Champ" mode is an upgraded version of the classic game with new enemy types -- requiring more than one hit to destroy, or equipped with a cloaking device making them nearly invisible -- and a variety of power-ups for the player, with create an entertaining variant of the original game.</p>

Every third level is a bonus round, where you may shoot at will for extra points.</p>
<p>The "Champ" mode is an upgraded version of the classic game, featuring new graphics and gameplay elements. For example, you can increase your firepower by rescuing former comrades captured in enemy formations. There also is a new device called G-Bomb, used by the alien flagships, which you can get by destroying him and use against the enemy.</p>

<p><em>CHAMP Asterocks</em> is a DOS shareware remake of Atari's classic <a href="/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a> arcade shooter. Like the other games in <a href="/search/?q=CHAMProgramming">CHAMProgramming</a>'s series of arcade remakes, it closely emulates the original with two game modes, the original "Classic" and the enhanced "Champ" mode (only available in the registered version).</p>
<p>The "Classic" mode plays and feels much like the arcade machine, with very similar graphics, sound and gameplay -- which probably needn't be discussed here. You also have the option to switch between the original vector graphics and bitmapped color graphics.</p>
<p>The "Champ" mode is an upgraded version of the classic game, featuring new more asteroids, mines that home in when near enough, shields instead of the hyperspace features and bosses -- you can only have the bitmap graphics here.</p>

<p><em>CHAMP Ms. Pac-em</em> is a DOS shareware remake of the classic <a href="/search/?q=Ms.+Pac-Man">Ms. Pac Man</a> arcade machine. Like the other games in <a href="/search/?q=CHAMProgramming">CHAMProgramming</a>'s series of arcade remakes, it emulates the original with two different game modes, the original "Classic" mode and an enhanced "Champ" mode, and even a maze editor for making your own levels.</p>
<p>The "Classic" mode plays and feels much like the arcade machine, with very similar graphics, sound and gameplay. You know what to do: Run through the labyrinth, munch dots and avoid those naughty ghosts. Some fruit hops around now and then, get it for bonus points! Ms. Pac-em even has the "cut-scenes" between some levels of the original arcade.</p>
<p>The "Champ" mode has the same game play, but features more and different bonuses and levels. The maze editor provided is entirely mouse controlled, but somewhat difficult to handle.</p>
<p>Finally, the game features a variety of options -- one or two player modes, three difficulty levels, adjustable game speed, input by keyboard, mouse or joystick (Champ even released a "Champ cable" that allowed you to play the game with digital joysticks), and a high score table to round it all off.</p>

<p><em>CHAMP Pac-em</em> is a DOS shareware remake of the classic <a href="/search/?q=+Pac-Man">Pac Man</a> arcade machine. Like the other games in <a href="/search/?q=CHAMProgramming">CHAMProgramming</a>'s series of arcade remakes, it closely emulates the original with two different game modes, the original "Classic" mode and an enhanced "Champ" mode.</p>
<p>The "Classic" mode plays and feels much like the arcade machine, with very similar graphics, sound and gameplay. You know what to do: Run through the labyrinth, munch dots and avoid those naughty ghosts -- or eat the power pill to chase them for a change. You can also eat some cherries for bonus points. Pac-em even has the original's intermissions between some levels.</p>
<p>The "Champ" mode has the same game play, but features some special enhancements like speed ramps, which speed you up for a certain time, or random teleports.</p>

<p>The Time Spinners do not look kindly on failure. They'll yank your status, terminate your entity, and zap you into the netherest of the nether regions. Your journey begins when Executive Time Spinner (ol' T.S., you know) drops you
ill-prepared and poorly armored into the fray, to fight off everything the Razerrians ...antiquated holdouts from
the Snarr Sector... can drop, kick or throw at you. Blast through their defenses, traverse the 50 levels of time blocks they'll use to impede your travel. They'll tantalize you with pictures from your home planet, hurl you through space,
instead of merely time, and dazzle you with nefarious patterns reminiscent of the arcades in the Neo-Draconian Sector in a celebrated age long past.</p>
<p>As for other Break-out clone games, the basic plot is: BLAST IT!  When you hit the blocks, they explode, disappear, change your launchpad into something more (or less!) functional, or alter the 'ball' in some beneficial - or nefarious - way. The worst of these is the dreaded smiley. The smileys don't do anything. The ball metamorphoses into a cute, fluffy, and USELESS tennis-ball-like blob, and won't work on any of the
blocks until it turns back into a blue piece.
Some of the blocks put a nasty spin on the ball, and there's a magnetic block that does exactly what you'd like it NOT to do. You can also add spin to the ball by striking it on the move - just like with table tennis. The longer the ball is in play, the faster it moves, and the less time you have to hit it.
Some effects are controlled by a timer, and will revert to their previous state if you can outlast the time clock.</p>
<p>In Two-player mode, saves (and losses), and multiple-ball episodes, are twice as much fun, and it's only half as difficult to win. You can also play two-player mode with one person! Just select the SAME input device for both players in the setup menu.</p>

<p><em>Universal Warrior</em> (or <em>The Machines</em>, as is the official title of the PC version) is a top-down maze shooter in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Gauntlet">Gauntlet</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Alien+Breed">Alien Breed</a>, with added economic elements. </p>
<p>The game alternates between equipment management and the actual in-level action, in which a remote-controlled robot runs through maze-like maps and shoots mechanical enemies. With the money earned in these sci-fi contests, improved equipment can be bought in five categories, making the robot more powerful, more maneuverable and less easy to damage. On the other hand, getting damaged means you must spend money on repairs. This encourages careful and effective playing.</p>
<p>The game can be played solo, competitively in two-player hot-seat mode or cooperatively in split-screen mode.</p>
<p>The Amiga and the PC version of the game have the same basic design, but entirely different levels. For a comprehensive list of differences between the versions see the trivia section.</p>

<p>Create a fighter and take him to the top of the Heavyweight, Middleweight or Welterweight divisions in this boxing simulation. Before each fight you have a set number of weeks to train - combine two types of bag with running and sparring to balance all aspects of your skills.</p>
<p>Gameplay is viewed from the side with a single dimension of movement, in the same way as <a href="/search/?q=Barry+McGuigan">the first game</a> and most contemporaries. Use accurate punching to win the 10-round fights.</p>

<p>The game is simulation of Contract Bridge cards game. The rules are usual where you (South) have to make a contract of your group (North/South) and prevent to make a contract of opposite group (East/West). Well-known conventions (Take-Out Double, Stayman, Blackwood, Gerber, Strong 2, and Weak 2) are presented and may be used by groups optionally. Also other conventions may take part - Jacoby Transfers, Unusual No Trump, Texas, etc. Also Kibitz mode allows you to be a Kibitzer and look in cards of others.</p>

<p>Fleets of alien vessels are quickly approaching the Space Fortress! They are overwhelming and there is no chance of victory. However, they can be held off as long as possible. The space fortress weapons will destroy as many as possible.</p>
<p><em>Space Fortress</em> is a static space shooter. The player sits at the controls of the Space Fortress and can alternate between management of targeting (weapons), power allocation, damage control, powerup retrieval and powerup usage. At all times, the radar image will be represented on the screen showing any approaching enemy ships. By taking control of the weapons, the player can blast the enemies using several different types of weapons. Each consumes energy, and enemy hits deplete the space fortress' shield. Defeated enemies leave power-ups which must be retrieved with probes and brought back to the space fortress for use. The game ends when the space fortress is defeated: Either by having it's reactor go critical, or by losing all of it's oxygen and life support.</p>

<p>The plot of Trauma is simple, destroy anything that moves in your role as pilot of one of the different empires that are fighting for Earth control. All of them have their own personality and also different strong -and weak- points. Are you ready to try luck with any of them? You will be able to do so through the campaign mode, with an interesting "managerial" menu (Raptor-like) before starting every mission. Also, you dispose of a two-player mode that allows a friend to pilot a ship alongside you in the respective mode.</p>
<p>Once inside one of the teams, you will notice that you also can choose different pilots and spaceships, thorough which you will have to face lots of explosions and swarms of enemies that bombard you nonstop (by air or land) from the very first level, but in order to make things easy, you will also dispose with the help that a great array of weapons and power-ups will offer you through the diverse levels, all that with the company of speedy techno melodies which will remind you to the best times of Epic Megagames.</p>

<p>RG97 is a tennis game with 3D characters.  The game takes its name from a real famous French tennis tournament, but the characters in the game are made up.  You can choose from between 10 different males, 7 females, or 3 futuristic players.</p>

<p>Chess Player 2150 is a chess program which played well against the other chess programs of the day and won the 1989 British Open Personal Computer Chess Championship (according to a post in ST Report International Online Magazine, November 13, 1992, No.8.45). The author was not shy about his program's prowess. Built into the program is a pull-down menu, giving it's performance against <a href="/search/?q=Chessmaster+2000">Chessmaster 2000</a>, <a href="/search/?q=Chessmaster+2100">Chessmaster 2100</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Colossus+X">Colossus X</a>, in 10 games apiece.</p>
<p>The game was designed to improve as it played, so over time a game that played against good players would be much better than when it first began. Users have the option of saving, so that the gained intelligence isn't lost.</p>
<p>Although the author clearly wanted the game to be used by serious chess players, he included whimsical chess pieces as well. One set includes farm animals (sheep pawns, dog rooks, horse knights, chicken bishops, cow queens, and pig kings); Another setting includes Science-Fiction pieces that look like aliens. The game can be played in 2D or 3D, and includes digitised speech on the Amiga version.</p>

<p>Super Password was a popular game show that ran from 1984-1989, and this game was adapted from that television program. Players give and receive clues to 5 Passwords which, when all are listed on the board, suggest the identity of the person, place, thing, event, phrase, etc., that is the Super Password.</p>
<p>Each game consists of three to four rounds. The first round is worth $100, the second $200, the third $300, and the fourth (if necessary) $400. The first player to win $500 (or more) wins the game. The winner gets to play the Final Round for $10,000. To play the Final Round, the winning player must guess the ten Passwords as each one's initial letter is highlighted at the bottom of the stand. Each word is worth $100, but a special bonus of $10,000 is awarded if all ten are guessed.</p>

<p>The game is a Bomberman clone with different goals in Single-player and Multi-player modes.</p>
<p>It begins in the Weapon Shop, where players can get their favourite weapons and bombs. </p>
<p>In Single-player mode you have to complete 15 monster-filled levels. You have three lives. Each level begins from the upper left-hand corner. Your mission is simply to find the door that leads to the next level. Notice that the location of the exit may vary from game to game and you can not see it because of Fog of War. Players who excel, get their names on the revered Hall-of-fame list. Your position on the list is defined by how far you get in the game.</p>
<p>In Multi-player mode 1-4 players find themselves at the far corners of the screen. You should move your guy around and collect as many treasures as you can in the limited time available. You might also try to kill the other players. If you are able to slaughter your opponent (before he/she slaughters you) you will receive a large amount of cash. The level will end if one of the following options are filled:
1. The time runs out.
2. All the treasures are collected.
3. Less than two players survive.
     After completing a level you are automatically transported to the shop to purchase more bombs. When all the rounds have been played, the winner is the player with the most cash or the most wins in the separate levels.</p>
<p>There is Map Editor present.</p>

<p>Golf's Best: St. Andrews - The Home of Golf is a golf simulation which allows you to experience the layout and character of one of the world's most famous courses, St. Andrews. Each hole is simulated exactly to scale. Undulations in the terrain, such as actual hills and valleys as found on the course as well as trees, bushes, water, sand and buildings are included. Wind also plays a part in the simulation. St. Andrews is a very windy course. </p>
<p>The game's display provides all the information required to make a great shot. Each hole provides an overhead and side view. Wind on the course is displayed by an arrow at the bottom of the screen which points in the direction in which the wind is blowing and that your ball will tend to blow. The larger the arrow, the harder the wind is blowing. It also shows you where the ball is, how far you are from the pin, what surface you are on and what stroke you are about to hit. </p>
<p>Up to 4 players can play at a time. Enter your name. Select what type of tees that you wish to play from, Medal or Championship. Once selected, they will remain the same throughout the entire round. Choose the starting hole. Pressing the Enter key without specifying the hole will start you on the first hole. You are allowed to carry 14 clubs. One must be a putter. The club selection screen also gives you the prevailing wind speed and direction. This allows you to choose the correct clubs for the conditions. After choosing your club (C), choose how hard to swing (F). Force of stroke depends on the club used. Irons and Woods choices are full, three-quarters, half or quarter swings. Wedges and putter, you enter the force as a number representing the number of feet. Your choices will be displayed. Specify what direction to hit the ball (D) and whether to hook or slice (S). Once your selections are completed, hit the "1" key to hit the ball.</p>
<p>Order of play is determined by honors, the player with the lowest score on the preceding hole plays first. If you select hole 19, you will enter the clubhouse and your round will be over. Display the Scorecard by hitting the "4" key. Have a good round.</p>

<p>Based on the famous comics series about good cowboy Lucky Luke.</p>
<p>In this game, Lucky Luke has to arrest the four Dalton brothers – Averell, William, Jack, and Joe. Gameplay involves progressing from level to level, shooting enemies  (bad cowboys, jailbreakers, and hostile Indians) with Luke's revolver, collecting various items like bullets, dynamites or sheriff stars, running, jumping, ducking, and climbing. Locations vary from forts, towns and jails, to mines, a train, and a haunted saloon. On every level, Luke will have to complete different side objectives to progress, like freeing a bank director, collecting gold nuggets for a miner in exchange of some nitroglycerine, or building a totem for the Apache. Some levels end with a boss battle, usually against one of the Dalton brothers.</p>
<p>Different arcade sequences between levels involve chasing the Dalton brothers, riding Luke's faithful horse Jolly Jumper, running away from a tornado, or navigating a raft, among other things. 
Bonus level arcade sequences include a wrestling challenge with Jolly, bottle shooting, or a revolver barrel roulette.</p>
<p>The game uses a password system to start directly from certain points in the game.
It was made in French, English, German and Spanish.</p>

<p><em>Worthy Opponent</em> aims to provide just that, dispensing with the problems of computer AI and instead serving up a collection of a dozen low-bandwidth mini-games designed for competitive two-player challenge, some turn-based, some simultaneously, through direct computer connection via modem. Its ANSI textmode graphical display allows low latency through the internal terminal software (which also permits during-play chat and taunting) even on the relatively slow modems of its era, the late '80s.</p>

<p>A directly <a href="/search/?q=Tron+Franchise+Games">TRON-inspired</a> (though unlicensed) variety of <a href="/search/?q=Snake+games">the snake game</a>, <em>Zona 0</em> puts the player in control of a "<a href="/search/?q=light+cycle+games">light cycle</a>" that zooms across an enclosed grid with other bikes, each leaving impassable lines in their wake. As the play field gets cluttered up with these trails, it gets more and more difficult to avoid accidentally driving in to one, veering sharply with 90-degree turns. The player's goal is to outlast the computer-operated light bikes, proceeding to the next level.</p>

<p>Mini Putt is a miniature golf game that offers 4 courses, Deluxe, Classic, Traditional and Challenge. Up to 4 players can either play a game or practice any hole on any course. Each course offers its own difficulty level. Deluxe and Challenge have difficult hills and course layouts. The Challenge being the more difficult course. The Classic offers animated bridges and other obstacles. The traditional is your standard miniature golf course which requires well placed bank shots.</p>
<p>To make a shot, using the joystick, move the crosshair in the approximate direction and distance where you wish the ball to go. When you are ready to shoot, hit the fire button. You will notice the level rise in the power bar. When the bar reaches the desired distance, press the fire button again. When you release the fire button, the bar starts to move back down. The mark where you stopped the bar moving indicates the power with which you hit the ball. When the bar reaches the bottom of the power bar, it moves horizontally on the accuracy bar. In the middle of the accuracy bar is the center line. Too much to the left of center, it pulls to the left. Too much to the right of center, it pulls to the right. Press the fire button at the right moment to hit the ball. If the course proves to be too tough, visit the Practice course option. Not all of us can be a pro.</p>

<p>Providing new puzzle phrases, the third edition of the Wheel of Fortune series of games based on the popular television show, brings the same fun as the original. Up to three contestants can play. Players compete to solve the puzzle by spinning a wheel and guessing hidden letters of a person, place, thing, phrase or other category.</p>

<p>Concentration was a popular game show in the mid-to-late 1980s, and this game was adapted from that television program. The sequel, Classic Concentration 2nd Edition, features the same interface with even more puzzles to solve. </p>
<p>Two players can play against each other, or one person can play against a computer generated opponent. Solve the rebus that lies beneath 25 numbered panels (a rebus is a puzzle in which words are represented by combinations of pictures and individual letters). The tiles have words denoting game prizes ("Mexico", "Camera", "Telescope", for example), and your object is to find the two matching worded tiles. Exposing two at a time, your memory is taxed as more prize tiles are revealed and then covered over again. As more tiles are matched, the hidden puzzle is revealed. Solve the puzzle and you win the game.</p>

<p>The object is to drive around a twisty course and collect all the colored flags. You can jump over gaps and over or onto other cars. If you land on another car, you destroy it and collect points. You can also collect things like balloons and ice cream cones for bonus points. The faster you collect all the flags, the bigger a time bonus you get.</p>
<p>In later levels, there are dead-ends or gaps and a vehicle that is carrying a flag you need, so you will need to jump on it. If you are hit by another vehicle or go off the course, you lose a life. Two player games are alternating with the players taking their turns.</p>

<p>Dashing hero-heartthrob of the future Brad Stallion is assigned by the Federated Government to locate and neutralize "The Tribe" -- a band of space-Amazon raiders spreading interstellar terror with their emasculating Sex-ray guns.  With the assistance of Sandie, a shipboard computer, the player must guide Brad through two planetary environments, a space station, and his own streamlined vessel -- the Big Thruster.  As for the various women he will encounter in his journeys?  We'll put it this way: when you only have one tool at your disposal, every problem you encounter looks like a toolbox.</p>

<p>The player once again steps into the, er, thong of meaty galactic hero Brad Stallion, this time aiming to thwart the schemes of Dr. Dildo by rescuing Princess Orgasma of the pleasure planet Erotica, again with the help of handy shipboard computer Sandie. The lessons learned in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/25141/sex-vixens-from-space/">the first game</a> are reiterated here -- mainly, when to take Brad's clothes off and when to put them back on.</p>
<p>This is still accomplished through a text parser, feeling your way around the world by scrutinizing brief descriptions and static, non-interactive screens colourfully illustrating available exits and the objects of your interest and desire.</p>

<p><em>Advanced Destroyer Simulator</em> (<em>ADS</em>) is a naval combat simulation set in World War 2. It was the first naval simulation to use real-time filled 3D graphics. Its style and mechanics are reminiscent of Epyx's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11068/destroyer/">Destroyer</a> (1986).</p>
<p><em>ADS</em> simulates the H.M.S. Onslaught, a British destroyer of the O-class fitted with three cannon turrets, four torpedo tubes on port and starboard respectively, and a sonar to detect and track submarines. In <em>ADS</em>, the Onslaught is not part of a flotilla.</p>
<p>There's no campaign, gameplay is mission-based and set in three scenarios (two in the CPC version) with five missions each: The Mediterranean around Sicily, the English Channel between the UK and France, and the North Sea coast of Norway. Objectives include seek-and-destroy assignments, patrols, convoy escorts, submarine hunts, and blockade runs. Each scenario also offers an open “Delta” option where you cruise and hunt without specific objectives.</p>
<p>You navigate the destroyer manually, in real-time, and from a first-person perspective, though with the help of a scenario map. <em>ADS</em> simulates ship combat as a close-quarter exchange of torpedoes and cannon fire. In proximity to enemy land bases, Stuka fighters can attack and must be shot down with cannons. Submarines are tracked with the sonar and can only be attacked once they surface. Enemy vessels include freighters, tankers, torpedo boats, destroyers, and cruisers. Most missions are time-critical; in the course of the mission, it may be necessary to dock in allied ports for repairs, to refuel and restock on ammunition.</p>

<p>Bob Winner is searching for a lost civilisation somewhere in the desert, and has to gain three keys to access it by beating a boss in Paris, London, and New York respectively. The first two bosses are boxers, the last one is a gun-toting cowboy. The items necessary to beat the bosses are found on the preceding screens.</p>
<p><em>Bob Winner</em> is a side-view flip-screen action game with hand-to-hand combat sequences. The protagonist will often have to avoid rolling barrels and flying insects that try to impede his progress.</p>

<p>In the game you play a role of the special agent Cougar. Your mission is to penetrate the criminal's fortress to retrieve an information on new drug. The game is divided on three parts of different styles.</p>
<p>First one is side-scrolling action in different locations such as prison, mines, or temple. For example, you begin in the prison, from where you must escape finding the keys to open doors, fighting the guards with martial arts, avoiding the grenades and lethal obstacles, acquiring the gun, and finally jumping into the plane. </p>
<p>Second one is a flight simulator. For example, you have to control a plane, flying over the territory and shooting enemy planes with gun or missiles.</p>
<p>Third one is a motorcycle riding. You have to reach the checkpoint for 3:00 before blowing up.</p>

<p><em>Mega Phoenix</em> brings the concept of the earlier arcade game <a href="/search/?q=Phoenix">Phoenix</a> into the 90s, to the extent that a coin-op version was later made by <a href="/search/?q=Gaelco">Gaelco</a>. The game is a single-screen shoot ‘em up in which the player moves left to right while shooting several waves. There is a shield function available, which lasts for a short period of time (after which it must recharge to be used again) and it paralyses the craft while active.</p>
<p>The first waves consist of several small alien beings in a set pattern, which move down from the fleet towards the player at random intervals- contacts with these kills the player. Deadly phoenixes firing at you come next, followed by the Mega Phoenix itself and then a final boss, before it all repeats with higher difficulty.</p>

<p><em>Mind Prober</em> asks users questions to rate themselves or other people on a series of 23 adjectives (talkative, pleasure-seeking, etc.), computes the results, and prints a three-page report describing the person.</p>
<p>The questions for users differ by gender (male or female) and age (under 18, or 18 and older). The program comes with a thick manual-plus-book that contains many chapters on how to better understand people around you.</p>

<p>Seventh incarnation of the Megapak compilation. The following 10 games are included:* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1506/3-d-ultra-pinball-creep-night/">3-D Ultra Pinball: Creep Night</a></p>

<p>This interactive board game offers action and adventure as Asterix and his friends journey around the Roman Empire on a challenge from Caesar while learning about different countries' history and culture. You can play as various characters including Asterix, Obelix, Impedimenta, Panacea, Justforkix and Geriatrix. You have to collect souvenirs from various places as proof you've been there, and then get back to your village in time or else Caesar will win. 
It allows for up to 4 players or you can play against the computer.  The game track has 54 squares that can be landed on which represent countries, challenges, prisons, magic potions, traps, rest, and meeting character opportunities. </p>
<p>The druid Getafix is host and will hand out  magic potion flasks to players (except Obelix who, as fans of the comics know, fell into a potion when he was very young). You can acquire some interesting gadgets from the druid-spy Dubbelosix, that will help you move more quickly.  To win the recquired souvenir items, you have to either answer the questions asked in the country squares or buy them from the Phoenician merchant Ekonomikrisis with sestertii won in  challenge squares.  The scoundrel Tortuous Convolvulus will also try to impede the players progress, so look out.</p>

<p>The German point-and-click adventure <em>Die Sage von Nietoom</em> (English: "The Legend of Nietoom") was released in 1994 by a small game development team from Berlin, Germany being their first and only released title. Young Marco is an ordinary boy living in the little town of Arluk near the Marmaan Mountains. Sometimes he visits his grandpa Wando who lives in a old hut in the mountains. Wando is the best storyteller in the world and one day he tells Marco about the secret doors to travel between the worlds.</p>

<p><em>The taking of Beverly Hills</em> is an adaptation of the action movie with the same name. The main events of the game are set in Beverly Hills famous of its rich residents. The truck with toxic ingredients crashed on one of the crossroads with Rodeo Dr., and all citizens were evacuated to the Hotel until the National Guard arrives. All except two - football player Boomer Hayes and his girlfriend Laura Sage. Robbers led by the head of L.A. football team, Robert Masterson, want to steal the priceless Botticelli Fresco and kill Boomer, but Boomer wants to stop the robbery and bring Masterson to justice, while evading ex-cops and the hired thug Benitez, who has commandeered a SWAT tank and is gunning for him.</p>
<p>Switching between Laura and Boomer, the player has to re-create the main events of the movie, carefully walking through Beverly Hills, collecting inventory items, and using them with 'USE' and 'HIDE' commands. Point of view changes between top-down to side-scrolling or first-person when the player enters important places. Boomer's inventory includes a diskette, which allows to save or load the game. Every death of any character means the end of the game and exit to the operating system.</p>
<p>In the beginning, Boomer has to visit the police station to acquire the empty gun, the vest protecting him from bullets of ex-cops and the radio transmitter to have a window to outer world. As Laura, the player explores a hotel to take a useful key. The next actions of the main characters include three main goals of the game:1. Free the real cops from the fire station.
2. Rescue the Botticelli fresco.
3. Save Laura from Masterson after she is captured.</p>
<p>Action elements of the game include evading enemies with machine-guns, and moving fast on the streets to avoid getting killed.</p>

<p>Since the news of coup d'etat in the province of Wago arrived, life became completely unbearable. The single resolution to save the peace of the country was to set up a secret organization which would be responsible for liberating the president, who was kidnapped and imprisoned during uprising.</p>
<p>So you enlisted in this secret organization. Manu, one of the members of the organization, is your neighbour. Today, we are in the daytime of July 1st. But, suddenly, Manu has been stopped, and all network is dismantled. It is necessary to recover the equipment, to discover the passage and to drive the plan of Manu to the most complete success. But where to begin, towards whom to go, which persons is it necessary to contact?</p>
<p>Typing in the sentences, you will visit city places including a bank, a bar, a garage, a newsstand, a small public garden, and a graveyard. For this, you have in the top of screen a directory of orders which you can choose with arrows of your keyboard and validate with the key COPY. Choosing an order you complete it with noun and progress in the game.</p>
<p>This text adventure was made in French.</p>

<p>Set in 1800, <em>Champion of the Raj</em> places you in command of one of five factions (British, French, Mogul Empire, Maruthras, Sikhs or Gurkhas) vying for control of India.</p>
<p>Territories under your control will generate taxes which can be put towards hiring troops, improving the military, industry or law and order. Hiring troops and improving their weaponry allows players to attack and capture other territories, while investing in industry or law and order can improve the economy and reduce discontent.</p>
<p>Players can also choose to use negotiation to bring new territories into their empire. The result of these negotiations often hinges on winning arcade sequences, an elephant race or a tiger hunt. Arcade sequences also follow major events such as capturing the palace of an enemy empire.</p>

<p><em>Dark Moon</em> is a typical space shooter, based on a rules common in arcades.</p>
<p>Just like in other side-scrollers, the player controls a space ship, moving from left to right side. The ship is armed, though initially the fire power is rather low. Fortunately, for every alien spacecraft destroyed, we are being rewarded with hard cash. This can later be used in the shop, to buy more powerful weapons, bombs or protective shields.</p>
<p>The battle is being fought in 3 environments: outer space, enemy planet, and the base. Each of these is divided into 4 sections.</p>
<p>The game features full motion video sequences for intro and outro.</p>

<p>The game is an enhanced remake of the original <a href="/search/?q=Paraplane">Paraplane</a> for Amstrad CPC.</p>
<p>Different stages of player's skills allow you to play a different types of games. 
While Practicing you may complete the exercises to train yourself in main gameplay actions such as taking off, landing, flowing using air currents, etc. 
While Strolling you may explore the flags/balloons positions and relief of the four places of the world (Arabic Desert, Green Alps, Snow Mountains, and American Canyon), where paragliding events are set.
While Competition you may, choosing one of eight nations of players (Japanese, English, American, Spanish, Russian, French, German, and Italian), to make a score, collecting the flags and balloons and taking into account the time flowing.
While Championship you with up to 4 players may challenge each other completing one after another the different events such as speed, precision, technique, etc. 
High scores are saved in the Hi-Score Table.</p>
<p>The gameplay includes enjoying the intro music, taking off, paragliding using air currents and clouds, avoiding the static and dynamic obstacles, collecting the flags and balloons, and landing.</p>
<p>The game was made in French/English/German/Spanish.</p>

<p>The first game in the Bumpy series is, just like its sequels, about a head that can bump a lot. You control whether the head shall bump left or right, and how far up it will bounce, in a similar fashion to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19631/mappy/">Mappy</a>. You have to move across a series of bouncy platforms and pick up all items on the screen. Once all items are collected, the exit will appear so that you can go on to the next screen.</p>
<p>While most platforms are perfectly harmless, some have additional qualities, such as being destructible, thereby granting access to other parts of the screen. Some platforms are on fire, which will turn out lethal unless you have picked up a water droplet in advance. </p>
<p><em>Bumpy</em> was remade for 16-bit platforms as <em>Pop-Up</em>, and then ported back once more to the Amstrad CPC.</p>

<p>Like its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3376/player-manager-series/">ancestors</a>, this title marks a return to the popular managing game where the player not only is a starting manager, but also a footballer close to retirement age (the player, however, does not control his footballing avatar directly in the field). Players are rated in 18 attributes (plus some hidden attributes), and eight formations. Several tactics give the manager a lot of depth to change into the style more suitable for the footballers available. As there isn't a stat to display the overall value of a player (other than his market value), the player has to choose the starting eleven according to the desired playing style by their individual strengths: defenders with strong heading should be placed in the middle, fast dribblers in the flanks and so on, as well as using the post-match analysis statistics to see how well they performed.</p>
<p>Like the older titles, the game uses the <a href="/search/?q=Kick+Off+series+">Kick Off</a> engine to simulate games, in this case <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11451/kick-off-97/">Kick Off 97</a>. Other match simulation options include a 2D radar (which can quickly change to the 3D engine in key parts of the game such as goals and cards) and a CM-like text mode. </p>
<p>If two players want to discover who has the strongest team, they can do so by choosing the "Friendly" mode. This allows to import team data from the floppy drive, and play a dream match between them.</p>

<p>The packaging is unusual, in that the CD-ROM jewel case forms part of the cover and leaves a gap when removed.</p>

<p>Requiring the original <a href="/search/?q=744788520038">Campaign</a> game, this disk brings 25 specific scenarios into the game system. With this, most of the major land battles of the Western parts of WW2 are now covered, and they are divided between strategic planning and tank driving.</p>

<p><em>London 1961</em> is the second mission pack for <a href="/search/?q=GTA">Grand Theft Auto</a>.

Also this expansion only works with the original disc of GTA London 1969, not with the one in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16649/grand-theft-auto-the-classics-collection-grand-theft-auto-grand-/">GTA: The Classics Collection</a>.</p>
<p>The expansion adds new missions, 22 new vehicles, a new cutscene, and a new multiplayer deathmatch map based upon Manchester.</p>

<p>Brad Zoom takes on the Brain Eaters from the Purple Planet, in this homage to vintage action games, primarily <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Galaxians">Galaxians</a>. There are 75 levels, accessed via passcodes.</p>
<p>You control a spaceship at the bottom of the screen facing upwards, firing at arrangements of aliens. You can move up and down as well as left and right as you shoot them. At set intervals an alien will emerge from the main pack and sweep down towards you. </p>
<p>Other levels feature <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a> which split when shot, or a single ‘boss’ alien. Aliens with green eyeballs release power-ups, such as improved weapons, shields and bombs. You have a single life with which to survive the carnage. You get points for surviving as well as scoring, so slow but cautious play is more rewarding.</p>

<p>A computer’s mazelike circuitry is infected with bugs, and you have been sent in to destroy them. You are armed with bombs, mines, blockades, and various types of hatchlings, which when released will track the bugs and hopefully stop them.</p>
<p>The basic gameplay is inspired by <a href="/search/?q=Dynablaster">Dynablaster</a>, but it differs because there is more than one way to kill the foes off. Depending on which way you push the joystick as you press fire, you will either release a quick-exploding bomb, a proximity mine, or a hatchling. Collecting ‘EN’ symbols will restore your energy, and ‘IQ’ symbols increase the ability of your hatchlings to track and hit your foes. Be careful when placing blocks; it is possible to shut yourself in.</p>
<p>The single-player game gives you three lives, plus another when you complete each of the 50 levels. The multi-player game can be played in 2 different ways – co-operative (work together to clear the computer of bugs) or competitive (Dynablaster-style free-for-all destruction).</p>

<p>Replay the 1994 National Football League season or draft your own teams. Play your favorite team against computer or human opponents. Play the entire schedule or individual games. You can make trades, design plays, make on the field decisions. Select Coach mode for a strictly strategic game or Action mode to play a game that has both strategy and player control. The game can be controlled by mouse or joystick. Other options at your control are:* Quarter length - set for five, ten or fifteen minutes.</p>
<ul>
<li>Stadium detail - set for Outdoor Grass, Outdoor Artificial, or Domed.</li>
<li>Game Time - set for Daytime, Evening or Nighttime.</li>
<li>Weather - divided into two sections, precipitation and temperature. Precipitation can be set for Snow, Rain or Clear.</li>
<li>Temperature - can be set for Very Hot, Hot, Warm, Cool, Cold or Frigid.</li>
<li>Wind Speed - set for No Wind, Slight Wind, Moderate Wind and Gusting Wind.</li>
<li>Wind Direction - can be set for Cross Wind, Swirling Wind, Northerly Wind or Southerly Wind.</li>
<li>Sound - turn the digital or analog sound on and off.</li>
<li>Film Saves - use this option to instruct the Game Films to save All Plays, No Plays, or only the Big Plays.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Ultimate Football '95</em> also provides a Team Editor. Here any team can have its players, coaches and lineups changed. Create that unstoppable team.</p>

<p>In <em>Over the Net</em> you can play Volleyball matches lasting 1, 3 or 5 sets, with each set being won by the first player to reach 15 points. Teams include the Rollers, CoCo, the Beach Boys (obvious pun in their name) and the in-house Geniases. The action is viewed from the side, with the full court visible. When fire is not pressed, joystick motions move your player in this direction; when it is, they attempt to hit the ball in that direction. As in real volleyball, the ball hitting the ground on your side of the net, or going out of bounds without bouncing, costs you a point.</p>

<p>The first release in this tennis series allows players to compete in a World Tour of 90 events against 250 players. Single matches can be dirty up and dirty down (two against one) as well as the more conventional singles and doubles. Grass, clay, flexi and cement courts are featured. Action replays can be viewed in slow motion, fast speed, and rewound.</p>
<p>Players can be defined as volleyers, defenders, punchers or varied, with definable kit colours and playing abilities. As you play the game, your player’s ability improves, resulting in faster and more accurate serves as well as faster running and bigger jumps.</p>
<p>The action is viewed from a 3rd-person angle, and side changes are optional. Two buttons are used in combination with directional presses to make slices, 3 different types of lob, and subtle drop shots.</p>

<p><em>Quadrax</em> is a puzzle game where two characters have to be moved to a predefined place in logical levels. As the entire screen is filled with obstacles, the characters need to help each other get around by flipping switches, moving stone blocks, opening doors, and using lifts. It was originally released for the ZX Spectrum with 50 levels. The PC version conversion contains 100 levels, with variations on the same themes.</p>

<p>This CD-ROM compilation includes three games of different genres:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/445/f-15-strike-eagle-iii/">F-15 Strike Eagle III</a></li>
</ul>

<p><em>Robot Junior</em> is a freeware episode of the Game of Robot series. It was released after the second game, in order to introduce new players to the series.</p>
<p>As in every Robot game, the player has to explore the screens and solve the numerous puzzles they contain. In Robot Junior the aim is to find all the keys scattered across the 12 scenes, which are needed to get to the big treasure.</p>

<p>While on a relaxing walk, the player receives a telegram from an old friend, who is calling for help from somewhere in the South Pacific. The way to the port however is full of danger and adventure.</p>
<p>In the second part of the Robot series, there are 85 screens to explore and many riddles to solve. It also offers more objects, and outdoor locations.</p>

<p>The third part of the Game of Robot series takes place on the fictitious island of Fana, where the telegram the player received in the second episode came from. His task is to find the friend who sent that call for help.</p>
<p>Compared to the earlier episodes, there is a bigger focus on the game's storyline. The inhabitants of Fana, the Tamala, speak their own language, which the player has to learn understanding and speaking bit by bit in order to solve the puzzles on the island.</p>

<p>After the third part of the Game of Robot series, the public has taken note of the hero's ability to endure adventures and solve dangerous tasks. That's why he is being sent on an official mission to investigate mysterious radio interferences caused by an old radar station.</p>
<p>While still focusing on the traditional style of complex puzzles, the scenario of Robot IV is more modern and technological than in earlier games.</p>

<p>The eponymous villain of the game I.M. Meen has a serious pet peeve-- he can't stand it when children study. Thus, he creates a magical book that, when read, traps children in Meen's evil labyrinth. As the player, you assume the role of one of 2 new children trapped in the maze. Your mission is to free the other children imprisoned in this dungeon and find a way out for yourself. As you walk around the first-person perspective maze, you will encounter a number of fearsome monsters to make your quest difficult. However, you have the ability to punch the enemies. There are also other magical offensive weapons that you find throughout the game. Plus, I.M. Meen's sidekick gnome, Gnick, has betrayed his master and is offering you assistance where possible.</p>
<p>The educational aspect of this game involves completing miniature assignments in order to free imprisoned children. For example, a letter from Gnick to Meen is displayed along with the instructions to correct the 2 punctuation errors contained in the text. Once the player successfully completes the task, a fellow captured child is freed.</p>

<p>MyMan is a text graphic remake of Pacman. Gameplay is simply the same as Pacman; you go around a maze eating all the dots, while avoiding ghosts. The maze has four flashing dots that make the ghosts edible when you eat them.  During the first levels the ghosts stay edible longer, but when the levels continue on, they are edible for a shorter amount of time. As you progress through a level, their will be a bonus fruit somewhere in the maze; every new level, the fruit is worth more than it was the previous level.</p>
<p>The characters in the game are made of letters.  For example, MyMan is a C, the ghosts are A's is enemy mode and m's in edible mode, and the fruits are made up as %, v, etc. When you lose all your lives you get a game over, and the game closes automatically, and there is no highscore.</p>

<p><em>Super Stupid Space Invaders</em> is a ASCII graphic spin off of <a href="/search/?q=Space+Invaders">Space Invaders</a>. You play a man who destroys aliens. However, there is no village to protect from the aliens.</p>
<p>In each game there are two players, and every time one player loses a life, the other player continues right where that player left off. You control a small missile firing device with you arrow keys, left and right to move back and forth, and up to fire missiles. To move on to a new level you must destroy all the aliens on the field, sometimes the aliens reproduce each level. You can also hit bonus aliens for new weapons that fire more shots. When both players lose all their lives, you get a "game over", and both players are put in the Hall of Fame. If you make it, your final standings for the game are shown including the final score, the level you made it to, your shots and hits, and your percentage.</p>

Wolfenstein 3D and Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold Companion Edition

<p>This is a budget CD release which contains the shareware versions of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Wolf3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/786/blake-stone-aliens-of-gold/">Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold</a>, as well as several user-made maps, cheating utilities and a few FAQs. The CD also includes a program to install the games and all the utilities onto your hard drive.</p>

<p>Society has become ultra-peaceful, but some retain a lust for violence and carnage. Off-shore racing fills that void perfectly in this behind-the-boat racer, which resembles <a href="/search/?q=Titus">Titus</a>'s earlier <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4676/fire-and-forget/">Fire &amp; Forget</a>.</p>
<p>Four X1 boats armed with missiles tough it out over circuits set up in lakes and lined with rocks, desperately trying to avoid finishing last, as this will eliminate them from future competition. Contact with other boats can also be harmful, and will cost you time.</p>

<p><em>VariTale</em> is an early BBS door implementation of Choose-Your-Own-Adventure hypertext, allowing users to read through and extend up to three stories per installation (15 in the registered version!) via an oldschool command-line interface. Unconventionally, the author of a given chapter is not given the option of dictating which options follow their passage: that choice is given instead to the writers of the future chapters.</p>
<p>Comes bundled with two sample adventures, <em>The Secret of the Broken Sword</em> and <em>Space Terror!</em> The latter is more nominal than the former, but both exhibit the vaguely cheeky insouciance that characterises <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/8533/pinnacle-software/">Pinnacle</a>'s humorous writing.</p>

<p><em>Moonbase</em>, the Lunar Colony Simulator puts the player in command of a base on the moon. You have to supply the oxygen, water, power, heat and shelter for the entire colony. Starting with a virgin lunar plain rich in minerals and elements (but alien to everything human), you establish your shelters and life support facilities while keeping an eye on your population, supplies, and support levels from earth. You succeed only if your city becomes self-sufficient.</p>

<p>You are invited to test your mental acumen and retention of trivial details facing up against a formidable array of 100 "fill-in-the-blank" questions pertaining to both facts literary and historical as well as deciphering codes and unraveling wordplay, with a few characters from the correct response provided to point you in the right direction.</p>

<ol>
<li>FedNet is now in control of the federation, and in an attempt to gain the trust of the population following decades of corruption and warfare, the FedNet Space Corps were sent to the outermost planets to crush the small-time warlords still running the show there. After being "convinced" to join them in a tour of duty, he is assigned to an elite flight group with the only purpose of testing the most cutting-edge technology.</li>
</ol>
<p>A remake of the original game of the same title released a few years before for the Acorn Archimedes platform, <em>Starfighter 3000</em> features more detailed graphics (now all surfaces are texture-mapped and a fogging filter reduces clipping). Featuring 15 levels in 4 worlds, the player controls the Predator Mark-IV, a fighter ship capable of space and atmospheric flight. However, other than the handy boost button, the player has no control over the throttle, (unless he uses a flight stick with thrust controls such as 3DO's CH Pro stick) and must keep moving at all times. </p>
<p>In post 3DO releases, only two points of view are available: behind (better for acrobatics and general flying) and cockpit (accurate aiming and NOE flight). The 3DO release contained several more, like a TV-style fly-by-cam, weapon cameras, and enemy cams that could show a nearby enemies' POV. </p>
<p>By picking up crystals the player is able to upgrade his craft and obtain more ammo, and by combining colours, get more powerful weapons, some also obtainable from parachute drops sent by FedNet.</p>
<p>One of the defining features of the game is using the laser (basic weapon) to terraform the map. As the game map is composed of tiles, some with higher or lower vertexes can be leveled by simply firing repeatedly at the same area. This allows players to strategically avoid heavy defense turrets by simply collapsing a hill, or destroy a heavier turret by simply burrowing the ground beneath it.</p>
<p>The player starts the game with three lives and earns one every 250k points. Losing all lives means a game over, but as there isn't a profile for each pilot (like in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/240/star-wars-tie-fighter/">Tie Fighter</a>), the game can be resumed freely from the last savegame.</p>

<p>In this game you are a commander of a Base Ship cruising around Indonesia and a pilot of four helicopters available on it. These helicopters are Kamov Ka-50 Hokum (assault), MIL Mi-8 Hip (assault/transport), Westland Lynx (anti-ship assault/transport), and Bell AH-1 Cobra (assault). And your mission is to end piracy on those waters.</p>
<p>You are planning the schedule of your missions and completing them with an appropriate helicopter. Planning of missions is based on your previous reconnaissance flights. Missions vary from intercept pirate boats, escort ship through pirate waters, and provide air support, to unload battalion of jungle commandos, rescue an ejected pilot, and annihilate villages. During the mission the player can switch back to Base Ship and plan other missions.</p>
<p>The game builds upon <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/18480/super-vga-harrier/">Super-VGA Harrier</a>, but this time with helicopters.</p>

<p><em>Quake: The Offering</em> is a compilation of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/374/quake/">Quake</a> and its add-ons, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4315/quake-mission-pack-no-i-scourge-of-armagon/">Scourge of Armagon</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4326/quake-mission-pack-no-2-dissolution-of-eternity/">Dissolution of Eternity</a>. The Linux version of the compilation is the first commercial release of Quake for that operating system. It had been available previously only as a binary download, requiring the data files from another version to function.</p>

<p>Based on the television game show of the same name.  The 25th anniversary edition of this quiz show requires you to provide 'questions' in response to the 'answer' clues.  The harder the question the more money it is worth.</p>
<p>You can play with 1-3 players.  If less than 3 players are competing they may choose whether or not to play against the computer.</p>
<p>Three skill levels provide  40, 45 or 50 seconds allowed to key in your answer.</p>
<p>The first part of the "question" (WHO IS...or WHAT IS...or WHAT ARE, etc.) will appear with a number/letter grid (not QWERTY).  You response must be the EXACT spelling and tense that the system is looking for or it will not be accepted as a correct "question".</p>

<p><em>Counter Action</em> is a real-time strategy released when, due to success of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>, many clones started to appear. What really differs this game from almost all RTS-titles of that time is its setting. Game actions take place in World War 2 on the East front. Player can take command over both Russian or German armies with separate campaigns and 14 missions for each side.</p>
<p>Another feature of Counter Action is an absence of macromanagement, i.e. there's no building/resource gathering involved in the game. One will only need to control his forces on a battlefield. However, in terms of gameplay CA is still very close to Command &amp; Conquer, with its famous "tank rush" tactic.</p>

<p>When this golf simulation was released in 1988 the U.S. National Video Game Team said it was "by far the best video golf simulation available".</p>
<p>1 to 4 players can tee it up on either an 18 hole American course or an 18 hole Japanese course. Players 1 &amp; 3 share controller 1 and players 2 &amp; 4 share controller 2.</p>

<li>Practice - A single player can practice on their favorite hole.</li>
</ul>
<p>Swing mechanics are: Press A to start the backswing, press A at the top of the swing, press A at impact. High and low shots can be selected by pressing up or down on the control pad. Right after contact another quick press of the A button at the same time as left or right will apply backspin to the ball. Complete club selection is available with the B button. </p>
<p>Terrain includes tee, green, fairway, out-of-bounds, water, sand (light and hard), and rough (super, light, heavy and deep).</p>
<p>There are four available characters:* Pretty Amy - Slow swing speed with fantastic ball control and accurate aiming.</p>
<ul>
<li>Big Jumbo - Powerful stroke and a long hitter but good technique is needed to control his shots.</li>
<li>Super Mex - All-around player with average distance, accuracy and swing speed.</li>
<li>Miracle Chosuke - Less power than Super Mex but good at putting and unequalled accuracy. He can hit a "Reverse Miracle Putt."</li>
</ul>

<p>This multi-genre game is based on the famous comics series about Lucky Luke, a good cowboy who draws his gun and shoots quicker than his shadow.</p>
<p>It was decided to construct a railway line to connect the East and West of the United States. Two companies argued about the establishment of this line. You were chosen to protect the quality of the line and to do not give it away to the competitor.</p>
<p>In the beginning, Lucky Luke should move around the town and find out the bandits preventing him from travel on the train. During arcade shooting he should shoot all of them on the streets and inside the saloon.</p>
<p>After train stops in front of the boulder on the rails, Lucky Luke has to find the way to this boulder to blow it up with a bomb collecting the useful items and using them in adventure mode. During these actions he'll encounter four Daltons and Apache's leader.</p>
<p>The next trial is a puzzle, where Lucky Luke has to connect the branch lines for the train switching the points on the railway.</p>
<p>And the last one is to solve the problem of water between Comanches and the Ranch owners in the place where quality will be checked finally.</p>

<p><em>Choose an Enemy</em> is a fighting game . Your aim is to defend your girlfriend against a guy who attacks her, shown from a first-person perspective. Before the fun begins, you have to choose your opponent. There are three men available with different speed and the ability to knock out one or two teeth with a single punch.</p>
<p>After selecting your opponent the fight can begin. By pressing the shift keys of your keyboard, you punch with your left or your right fist and by pressing space bar, you can avoid punches. You win if you manage to knock out all 32 teeth of your opponent and you lose when you are toothless.</p>

<p>The add-on scenario disk to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1170/1942-the-pacific-air-war/">1942: The Pacific Air War</a> offers a multitude of new features. Players can now join the American or Japanese Armies in addition to the Navies. Thus six new land-based planes are available: the P-38 Lightning, the P-40 Warhawk and the P-51 Mustang for the Americans, and the Ki-61 "Tony", the Ki-84 "Frank" and the N1K "George" for the Japanese. Also added are new missions in the Philippines and New Guinea campaigns.</p>
<p>Finally, a modem play option is added, allowing for two players to fly cooperatively or go head-to head in more than 200 missions especially designed for multiplayer.</p>

<p>Nothing less than a computerized spirit board (of which the Ouija is the best known), <em>DaSi</em> lets you commune with whatever technologically-savvy spirits may be channeling through the astral plane near you using an ordinary computer mouse as the planchette, spelling out messages letter by letter. It just lays down the infrastructure -- you've got to bring the spooks yourself.</p>

<p>EGAint Is Not Tetris... got it?  In fact, it's a freeware Tetris style game, one of the earliest such releases on the IBM PC.  Being that it was so small (under 100kb, an easy 2400 baud download), Egaint lacked the background pictures Tetris players enjoyed, but it did sport high-resolution graphics and some custom game settings, including several exotically-named block styles, and shapes not seen in most Tetris clones.  The game featured a "tournament mode", with a fixed, non-random set of falling blocks, but no multiplayer support.  The package also included a separate, text-mode version, simply called AINT.</p>

<p>Virtual Chess is a feature-rich computer chess simulation that especially prides itself on a 3D, rotating chess board and pieces, complete with limited lighting techniques. By default, the game shows you a flat 2D board with a 3D game board next to it. The 3D board can be dragged and rotated to any angle you please. Virtual Chess also features some full motion video in the for of an introduction and some cut scenes.</p>

<p><em>Anco</em> released their own sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6539/strip-poker-a-sizzling-game-of-chance/">Strip Poker: A Sizzling Game of Chance</a> using a different interface and girls to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6510/strip-poker-ii/">Artworx's own sequel</a>. The concept is the same – two beautiful girls are your poker opponents, and they will gradually remove their clothes for you if you win. </p>
<p>You start with $100 and each bet starts at $5, which can be raised to $25. After a second round of cards is dealt based on how many you choose to exchange, hands are compared and winnings assigned. Donna and Sam are the included girls.</p>

<p>This is the first light-gun game for the Commodore Amiga. The action takes place in the Capone era of 1920s Chicago. The player is a lone gunman battling Capone’s men down the streets and alleys of the city. The game plays much like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3475/operation-wolf/">Operation Wolf</a>. As the game progresses, the screen scrolls sideways and evil gangsters pop up from behind windows and buildings. The player must take care not to hit innocent bystanders, including women, children, and pets strolling down the street. There are also two indoor scenes, including a warehouse filled with TNT and the finale that takes place inside a bank. Capone was released in the early years of the Amiga, and had a very unique look for its time.</p>
<p>Although the major selling point of Capone was it was the first light-gun game available for the Amiga, players could also play entirely with a mouse. During mouse play, a cross-hair cursor appears on screen. Firing is accomplished simply by hitting the mouse button, or trigger on the light-gun.</p>

<p>This game will test your problem solving abilities, as you try to solve 25 word puzzles.</p>
<p>Each puzzle has the letters for the word located somewhere on the 7 x 11 grid board. Each letter is contained in a block which when pushed by your man, (Alpha Man), will slide in that direction until it either hits the side of the grid board or another block.</p>
<p>The objective is to push all the letter blocks onto the corresponding letters that are located somewhere else on the game board.</p>

<p>This Blackjack game allows from 1 to 5 players and uses pre-defined rules from Las Vegas, Downtown Vegas, Reno and Atlantic City.  There is also a custom mode where you can define your own rules.  Minimum and maximum bets are customizable as are the number of decks to be used.
The game includes a hint mode for the novice player that will tell you the optimal play at any given moment and also includes an optimal play chart you can take with you when you're ready to hit the real casinos.</p>

<p>This must be one of the earliest team sport games to use a first-person view – the packaging mocks the Xs and Os used to represent players in contemporary Gridiron games. What you see is what the player sees – control and viewpoint passes from the kicker to the receiver on a punt or kickoff, and the quarterback to the running back or receiver on a pass or kick. Releasing passes involves rotating the controls to select the pass direction. To take the ball, aim the visible hands in the centre of the screen.</p>
<p>There are 28 teams split into four divisions; their names are fictional (including the Seagulls, Mustangs and Geronimos), and each is rated out of 3 on 8 areas of skill. Matches last for 4 quarters of either 4 or 7 minutes' in-play time. Menus to select plays or teams involve using diagonal movements for selection. </p>
<p>Standard Gridiron rules apply – gain 10 yards in 4 attempts (downs) without fumbling or having a pass intercepted; kick a punt or field goal if you are about to fail at this.</p>

<p><em>Silent Hunter Commander's Edition</em> is the compilation of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5356/silent-hunter/">Silent Hunter</a> and patrol disks (expansion packs) <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/33130/silent-hunter-patrol-disk/">1</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/33153/silent-hunter-patrol-disk-2/">2</a>, and 3.

<p><em>Zoom!</em> is an arcade style puzzle game. Your character Zoomer (a <a href="/search/?q=Pacman">Pacman</a> lookalike with arms &amp; legs) must trace the outline of the squares on the game board to light them up.

There are various monsters that will try to hunt you down - contact with these costs you energy and eventually a life. There are also a number of power-ups that will aid your quest - quick filling of tiles surrounding the bonus piece, a level skip and bonus points, for example.</p>

<p><em>Yogho Yogho spel</em> is a platform game where the player takes the role of a boy who likes the Dutch yoghurt drink Yogho Yogho.

<p>The goal of gameplay is to clear each level of diamonds (increasing your score), hearts (increasing your bone energy), and Oscar (increasing your score also) jumping from the bottom of the level to its top and vice versa. Different obstacles such as lethal drops, flying balls, sticky, icy, or moving ground, teleports, inhabitants of the four Worlds, etc. are present on your way, and your jumping skill allows you to avoid them. Your take is finished if you lose your current bone energy. </p>
<p>The player's highest score will be stored. After completing the game once you may replay it again, but the gameplay will be harder. A bonus level is also available.</p>

<p><em>Floatris</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> clone. Instead of playing one game at a time, the player plays eight games simultaneously. And instead of blocks falling down, the blocks float upwards. There are also a couple of new shapes for the blocks.

<p><em>Alive Sharks</em> is a shareware underwater action arcade game where you play a marine biologist who dives for rare ocean creatures.</p>
<p>Your diver swims on his own and you have to lead him in the direction of the creatures. He picks them up and you have to bring them back to your cage to get points.
Each of the 10 levels is filled with sharks wanting to kill you. You can stand a few bites but sooner or later you are dead. By touching the poisonous jelly-fish you even die immediately. You can avoid this by shooting them with your gun. You get a point and they sink stunned to the ground but they are not dead and recover quickly. Simply shooting in their direction will frighten them and they lose your tail for a few moments.
In higher levels the amount of sharks increase, they get more aggressive and your gun numbs them for a shorter period.</p>
<p>In the shareware version you can only play against sharks. Full version features raybats and killer jellyfish.</p>

<p>At the end of every level, you encounter a boss - always a big prehistoric creature. There is a time limit on every level, but you can get coconuts out of the trees for extra time. Sometimes, however, there are spiders instead of coconuts in the trees.</p>

<p>Another ultra-violent product by InFluid Software, <em>Haunted Childhood</em> is a set of four games for two players, each one a horror-themed puzzle game.* Crypt Tac Toe is reminiscent of Tic Tac Toe.

</li>
<li>
<p>Russian Roulette: each player sets the bullet for his opponent. Then, the opponent must stop the chamber spin. If it hits the bullet's place, that player loses the game.</p>

<p>The game was originally shareware but has since been released as freeware.</p>

<p>Battles of Napoleon is a historical wargame that lets you play either side in four of Napoleon's famous battles -- Auerstadt, Borodino, Quatre Bras, and the infamous Waterloo. Additionally, the game features a detailed scenario construction set that will allow you to design your own battles; everything from maps, to troop types, to weapon ranges and damage.</p>
<p>Gameplay is turn-based, each turn consisting of different phases. During your turn, you can establish various objectives (map squares to occupy) for each unit or commander, move commanders between units, move a unit, change formation, and, of course, attack or retreat. The Borodino scenario is the smallest, and can be used as a "tutorial" of sorts before moving on to the larger, more complex scenarios. This is a game that fans can legitimately spend several hours on.</p>
<p>The construction set allows, as you might expect, the creation of new scenarios for the game. In it, you will find the standard map and unit editors -- however, SSI allows you to make changes down to the weapon and unit type. This allows you to create scenarios for virtually any type of battle you can think of. As a silly example, it is possible to take the stock weapon "musket", change the damage and range, and rename it "laser rifle" -- you then have the makings of a futuristic battle on your hands. (Of course, you would need to modify just about everything else to complete such a scenario... but you get the idea.)</p>
<p>The learning curve for this game is steep; it is probably not for the faint of heart. Anyone who enjoys getting shoulder-deep into battlefield strategy and tactics, though, will feel very comfortable with this game.</p>

<p><em>Star Castle PC</em> is a freeware remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12423/star-castle/">Star Castle</a>. John Dondzila created this game in memory of his favourite arcade game.</p>
<p>Gameplay is simple: Controlling a small space fighter you have to destroy a mighty battleship to get into the next level. Surrounded by three energy walls it fires permanently torpedo that lock onto your ship and pursue you. To destroy your enemy you have to shoot a path through the barriers and fire at the ship, but once there is a path it fires a fast and deadly plasma cannon at you that can't be destroyed contrary to the torpedo.</p>
<p>You get points for destroying elements of the barriers and the ship itself. After achieving 10000 points an extra ship is added to your account (you start with three ships i.e. three lives).</p>

<p><em>Clone Invader</em> is, as one can deduce from its title, a clone of the classic arcade game <a href="/search/?q=Space+Invaders">Space Invaders</a>.</p>
<p>Controlling a small space fighter you have to destroy lines of alien ships before they can reach the bottom of the screen, to get points. To complete this task and enter a new level, the player has to stay alive and avoid being shot. You can either shoot the bullets of your enemies or hide behind one of the three rocks.</p>
<p><em>Clone Invader</em> can be played by up to two players (hot-seat, one after the other), either by mouse or by keyboard.</p>

<p>You are Steve Jordan, pilot of the spacejet Eagle. Cyborgs conquered the universe, but this event did not make you happy. And you decided to restore the freedom of the lifeforms discovering and destroying the mother planet of the Cyborgs. Riding the Eagle, you cruise the entire space full of asteroids, energy cells, and enemy Cyborgs' spaceships. On each stage you have to avoid the asteroids, collect energy cells, shoot the spaceships attacking you, and contact space stations (Alcor, Torius, Casiope, etc.). Finishing the stages you interrogate with space station's inhabitants to take an additional information (true or false) to find finally the coordinates of the Cyborgs' mother planet.</p>

<p>The sorceress Zoldrane kidnapped and casted an evil spell upon your grandfather. She wants to force him to reveal the secrets of the forest people, of whom he is the custodian. As Nicky, you must find a way to defeat Zoldrane, and get an elixir from her chest that will cure grandfather. But Zoldrane has changed all the peaceful creatures of the forest into guards, who try to stop Nicky from ever reaching her castle.</p>
<p>During the travels, Nicky is able to move around the levels, jump over obstacles, and duck to avoid flying threats. Nicky must collect gems, flying bombs, dynamite, keys, and other specific objects. These are used for tasks such as building a bridge over a river throwing logs, climbing ladders, using teleporters, or to break walls to find secret areas. </p>

Your task is it to head to Earth, the only race who could defend itself successfully against the Yanchooz so far, and open a road for your capital ships. The problem is that you are completely alone. Nobody believes in you and now it's up to you to accomplish this suicidal mission.</p>

<p><em>Harpoon II</em> is a simulation of modern-era naval combat. A variety of ships such as surface and sub, as well as missile weapons and aircraft must be tracked and accounted for when engaging in battles. It is a single player game, and takes place in real-time (though you can set the clock ratio to suit your needs and even pause the game). </p>
<p>Rather than being a straight Cold War-style U.S.S.R. vs the USA game, Harpoon II's scenarios are mostly based on third-world encounters, such as USA vs North Korea, or Peru vs Ecuador, etc. The initial release contains <em>BattleSet: Global Conflicts I</em>, featuring 15 missions.</p>

<p>You start the game, and enter an isometric arena. You control both Cobra and Lady, each equipped with a gun. Shoot at everything that moves, and try to find the exit of the multidirectionally scrolling arena. As a backup weapon, you have also a set of five grenades to throw at troublesome enemies. Being hit once or twice is no problem, for you have a rather well-stocked energy bar. Controlling two characters at once means that you may be separated while rounding a corner or another obstacle, but the obstacles can also be used to regroup into a tighter or wider formation, depending on your choice of tactics.</p>
<p>This tie-in uses a high resolution, at the cost of colours, to animate the screen with a high detail. Sounds is quite minimal, with no in-game music and simple sound effects. All in all, the game plays like a slower, isometric <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=%E5%9C%A3%E9%93%A0%E4%BC%A0%E8%AF%B4">Gauntlet</a> without the powerups.</p>

<p>A simple two-player game released to much marketing fanfare, Hotshot places you and another player (either another person or an AI robot) in an arena split down the middle into two save for a hole about half the screen's height for the ball to travel through, with a series of bricks on each side to destroy.</p>
<p>The aim of the game is to destroy your own bricks before your opponent can destroy his. This is achieved by catching the small by pointing your suction device at it and holding fire, and then releasing in the needed by letting go of the button. This is easier said than done, as the ball neither moves in a straight line or according to the natural rules of gravity.</p>
<p>Should either player be hit with the ball and not catch it properly, they will be knocked down and possession of the ball is passed to the other player.</p>

<p>Europe 390 A.D. - the Migration Period: As the Western Roman Empire struggles to repel migrating Germanic tribes fleeing from the incursion of the Huns into Eastern Europe, several of its provinces are breaking away seeking independence.</p>
<p>In "Elysium", you rule one of these independent provinces. Your goal is threefold:
(1) survive politically until the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 A.D.;
(2) make your country the most livable for your people, turning it into an "Elysium", an island of the blessed in those turbulent times;
(3) (optionally) build an empire of your own by conquering other provinces.</p>
<p>Your challenges are firstly foreign and secondly domestic: ward off pillaging barbarian tribes such as the Vandals or the Huns and defend against legions of Roman troops sent by the Emperor to forcibly reintegrate you into his failing Empire. This requires building, equipping and maintaining a whole army of militia, career soldiers and mercenaries, financed by a vibrant domestic economy. Thus your tasks at home include the production of agricultural and other goods and building the necessary infrastructure, trade by sea and land, law enforcement and taxation, and most importantly: stay in power by keeping the masses happy with "bread and circuses".</p>

<p>For up to 4 players, the game offers scalable difficulty levels, strong computer AI, an economical as well as different land- and sea-battle systems and even a savable Hall of Fame for the best conquistadors.</p>

<p>You are supposed to take your girlfriend to the Live Aid rock concert tonight; unfortunately, thieves have stolen and dismantled your motorcycle.

This results in a one-on-one beat 'em up element, with punches, kicks and a headbutt available. Your strength is represented by a glass of beer going from full to empty - when it's empty you are dead. There is a bar in which to recharge your energy (the dangers of riding a motorcycle after drinking alcohol have not been incorporated into this logic).</p>

<p>The game represents the one of the card games included in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/27394/trump-castle-ii/">Trump Castle II </a> - Baccarat. Now it is played in one of Monte Carlo's casino. </p>
<p>The game is available for up to four players and may be saved in progress. The gameplay is directed on winning as much money as you can making the bets based on the combination of your luck and the theory of probability. You may be a millionaire.</p>

<p>This <em>End of Season Edition</em> is an updated version of <a href="/search/?q=Championship+Manager+93/94">Championship Manager 93/94</a>. It adds new team data for the 93/94 season and adds all the foreign players that came to England during the season. One new background picture is also included.</p>

<p><em>Baba Yaga</em> is an interactive book for kids that alternates between two main views: A first-person view with a point-and-click mouse interface, where the player has to click on spots on the screen to find objects and fight monsters, and a third-person view with keyboard controls for arcade sequences in the forest, where the player jumps, crouches and fight monsters in his way out. The plot revolves around a magical glove that was stolen by the witch <em>Baba Yaga</em>.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/27629/los-templos-sagrados/">Los Templos Sagrados</a> is a Spanish text-adventure, the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20074/la-diosa-de-cozumel/">La Diosa de Cozumel</a>, and the second "book" of the "Ci-U-Than" trilogy of games. They all utilize the parser DAAD, that has capabilities similar to the <a href="/search/?q=Infocom">Infocom</a> Z-machine one (you can chain commands, correct misspellings, etc). This time around the player searches the ruins of the Yucatán peninsula for the lost mayan temple of Chichén Itzá.</p>

<p><em>Chichén Itzá</em> is a Spanish text-adventure, the final chapter of the <em>Ci-U-Than</em> trilogy of games. They all utilize the parser DAAD, that has capabilities similar to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Infocom">Infocom</a> Z-machine one (you can chain commands, correct misspellings, etc). This time the main quest is divided in two parts: In the first half you have to satisfy all the gods demands while exploring the ruined temple and solving its mystery. In the last part you journey from hell to heaven in an effort to liberate the god Kukulkán from his prison.</p>

<p><em>Rogue Clone</em> is an early variant of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Rogue:+The+Adventure+Game">Rogue</a>, the grandfather of all <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Rogue+Variants">roguelikes</a>, specifically of the UNIX version 5.3. The first version of <em>Rogue Clone</em> was first released in 1986 for UNIX.</p>
<p>At first glance, <em>Rogue Clone</em> is quite indistinguishable from the original: Enter some randomly generated dungeon, bash monsters, grab treasures, evade traps, and find the stairs to the next level, all this to recover that fabled Amulet of Yendor and make it back to the light of day -- alive, preferably... everything in glorious ASCII graphics.</p>
<p>On a second glance, one realizes that <em>Rogue Clone</em> features some additions and modifications to game play. For example, there are no dark rooms, and the difficulty level is slightly easier -- monsters spawn quicker, but there is much more items to be found. Another very helpful feature is that unknown items are automatically identified after use, so that next time you find them, you'll know what awaits you. The first version of <em>Rogue Clone</em> also omitted traps and secret doors, later versions have both, but traps may not go off if an inadvertent adventurer steps onto them. Mazes are also drawn differently, and there are other changes in the items and their characteristics.</p>
<p>Otherwise, this version plays pretty much like the original and earns its name.</p>

<p>This is <em>Championship Manager 2</em> featuring the Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish leagues.</p>
<p>The core of the game is its database containing more than 15,000 players from all over the world. Your job is to find and buy new talents, find new staff members, choose the right tactics, make substitutions and a lot of other decisions related to being the manager of a football club. It is possible to take control of the teams from the three best divisions in each of these countries.</p>
<p>Which players to buy can be evaluated based on the player's rating in approximately 20 different categories (e.g. an attacker needs to have a high value in finishing, whereas a defender needs a high value in tackling).</p>
<p>As with the other games in the series, the presentation is based on a huge amount of numbers. Graphics and sounds are kept to a minimum.</p>

<p><em>Pinball Magic</em> is for one or two players, working through a sequence of twelve tables. Each one has several letters on screen, usually in more than one place. Runnig the ball over each letter opens the exit; pass through this to reach the next screen. Completing a screen gives both players a new set of the 5 balls they start the game with.</p>
<p>Tables look similar to 1950s designs, with 'mushroom' bumpers, points-based targets. A more electronic feel is added by 'black holes' yielding an extra life, a set of bricks to be cleared on one level, and an integrated 'fruit machine' segment on another.</p>

<p>A stock implementation of the <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> <a href="/search/?q=Falling+block+puzzles">falling-block puzzle</a> (whose goal is to "fill" entire empty lines with irregularly-shaped segments) rendered in textmode graphics, intended for keyboard-driven play over modem as a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6091/bbs-door-games/">BBS door game</a>, this limited but effective version can also be played locally. The unregistered version features only three levels, but all hold true to the basic Tetris premises.</p>

<p>This textmode <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6091/bbs-door-games/">BBS door game</a> (with local play) allows the player to tool a boat around various bodies of freshwater with the arrow keys and see what comes up when the fishing line is cast into the blue deep, after situating near the desired water depth and bottom conditions and selecting an appropriate type and size of lure and line retrieval speed. Elements of strategy come into play when deciding whether to give a struggling fish slack or not, while the calm fisherman must have quick twitch reflexes to capitalise on a fish's idle nibble.</p>
<p>The game, permitting tournament competitions as well as idle one-off forays to the lake, keeps extensive track of records -- which species caught where, of what size, and allows players to compare their performance to that of those who came before.</p>

<p>Further demonstrating the gulf between adult and mature, this <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6091/bbs-door-games/">BBS door game</a> casts the player as Heather FlatChest, a detective in search of the missing princess Di Suckuall and the fabulous bust-enhancing relic the Purple Tit.</p>
<p>The grueling search will bring the player through a short but regular series of bizarre mini games, including competing with a bartender for beers through tossing 10 coins and calling heads or tails, getting accosted by a drunk with rape on his mind, and a simultaneous orgasm masturbation reflex game. Once the player has achieved a suitably high score through sufficiently daily repetition of these rituals, the Purple Tit automatically becomes found.</p>

<p>A fond, if somewhat limited, adaptation of fellow <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6091/bbs-door-games/">BBS door</a> and namesake <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21738/legend-of-the-red-dragon/">Legend of the Red Dragon</a>, BORD ramps up the silliness still further while offering much of the same gameplay -- single-key menu-driven fantasy adventure and combat for RPG stat building toward an ultimate showdown supplanting the sinister Red Dragon and resulting in the deliverance of the village of Cotopaxi.</p>
<p>Slay monsters, challenge other characters to single combat, and upgrade your zany equipment (from Toothpick and Ball Cap to Elephant Tusk and Bulletproof Parka) ... and explore an overland map in a fashion unknown in LORD, building forts and encampments across the landscape. Some of the jargon has been changed -- HitPoints become "owies", Gold becomes Pebbles... but the silly pseudo-medieval fun remains much the same.</p>

<p>This is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16590/chrono-quest/">Chrono Quest</a>, part of a series of games called Explora in their original French releases. After the events of the first game, you attempt to return to France of 1922, your own time period. A disorder on Explora, your time-machine, makes it use up all its metal fuel, leaving you stranded on an unknown time era. You need to find enough metal for Explora to be able to return you to your place in time. </p>
<p>The original point-and-click interface (text-based with auxiliary icons) was replaced by a fully icon driven one. There's a row of icons at the bottom of the screen with movement arrows, a save game icon, "get", "give", "examine", etc. The conversations with characters have a basic form of speech-synthesis which can be turned off (the full text of the dialogue is displayed either way). The game boasts 13 different locations and multiple time stages.</p>

<p>Explora 3 is a french point-and-click adventure game, the final sequel of the original Explora (released as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16590/chrono-quest/">Chrono Quest</a> in English-speaking markets). The time traveling antics of the other games continue on this title, albeit in a more tangential way. You play as a writer with a severe lack of ideas that has a 3 month deadline to deliver a manuscript to his publisher. While watching TV you see your name linked to a report about a mysterious murder. It is your job to unravel this conspiracy.</p>
<p>The interface of the game has a more minimalist approach this time, the icons were reduced to only three revolving on the bottom-right of the screen: a magnifying glass to examine the scenario, a hand to pick and drop things, and a hammer as the "use" verb. Above these icons there is a clock: the developers added a dimension of time to the proceedings, and certain actions can only be performed at an exact time point. This installment also ditches the synthesized speech of the second game. </p>
<p>The games of this series share a common trait of being quite unforgiving: the player can easily get stuck on a unwinnable situation by forgetting to take some crucial object or not performing the exact action at the exact time. Death also comes swiftly and unexpected, sometimes only by opening a door at the wrong moment.</p>

<p>The first add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/350/earth-2140/">Earth 2140</a> features two new campaigns with 25 missions for each faction and a new soundtrack.</p>
<p>It also adds three difficulty-levels (Easy, Normal and Hard) to the main game as well as a statistical overview of the battle which is now shown after each match. In addition there are 20 new multiplayer-maps and many smaller improvements (including better multiplayer-performance) to the main game.</p>
<p>Inside the retail box there's also an Earth 2140-Mousepad and a music-video on the CD.</p>

<p>The second add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/350/earth-2140/">Earth 2140</a> adds two campaigns with 15 new missions for each faction. There are also six new units and two new buildings available.</p>
<p>To complete the package the add-on features a whole new soundtrack, ten new multiplayer-maps and a new terrain-type.</p>

<p><em>Apollo 18: Mission to the Moon</em> simulates a fictional mission to the Moon in the early 1980's, following on from the last real flight (Apollo 17) before NASA cancelled the program. One of the game's key features is digitised speech, which sounds crackly like a real mission controller would. Telemetry screens provide realism, with the player having to set items and computer programs to get the crucial GO signal. </p>
<p>The game is split into several sequences. First is launch, where pressing the button to stop a moving bar at the right point determines success. Course corrections and an orbital rendezvous (to undock the lunar module) are next. The player has to land the module safely on one of three possible landing sites before running out of fuel. The moonwalk is next, and must be completed in a set time before returning to orbit. On the way home the astronaut performs a spacewalk to capture and repair a satellite. Finally there is the re-entry sequence and splashdown.</p>

<p><em>Iron Assault</em> is a "light" simulator of big robots. As in any other mech-sim, game actions take place in a distant future, but in this case on our own planet(Earth) at the end of 21st century. Player joins the ranks of resistance force to fight back world, enslaved by global corporations.</p>
<p>As <a href="/search/?q=MechWarrior+2">Mechwarrior 2</a>, or rather <a href="/search/?q=metaltech-earthsiege">Earthsiege</a>, IA is also mission-based and before every mission you can choose a robot and it's equipment as you want. Controls are very simplistic, you may not even know half of them and still win. </p>
<p>Graphics are not true 3D, but a combination of 3D world and sprite characters. Levels are partially destructible - you can damage surroundings, street lamps for example. And a really notable thing about Iron Assault is cut scenes. They're made using very unusual technique for computer games - stop motion animation(just remember classic King-Kong movie).</p>

<p><em>Discovery: In the Steps of Columbus</em> is a real-time strategy game of conquest and exploration. The player assumes the role of a "conquistador" as he sends his fleet of settlers to different locations on any of the 6 available new worlds. Depending on the resources they find, they'll start developing advanced settlements and cities, which can be used to start trading efforts between the fatherland and the new empire. </p>
<p>There are five other nations with their own colonies in each area though, so competition is fierce enough to require the game to feature a combat module. This also comes into play when negotiations with the natives fail, and on sea, when facing pirates or enemy warships.</p>
<p>The game features a comprehensive mouse-driven interface, as well as a choice of starting fatherland.</p>

<p>Football simulation game featuring the likeness and strategic advice of legendary coach <a href="/search/?q=Tom+Landry">Tom Landry</a>. You'll take the role of a new coach for the team of your picking who gets mentored by Mr. Landry himself along your career.</p>
<p>The game allows you to modify and customize your team to enhance its strengths, manage the acquisition of new players and perform general management tasks. Come game time the game takes away all the menus and windows and puts you in a side-scrolling view of the stadium from which you can watch the game take place. At any time you may issue offensive or defensive formations and make substitutions to try and indirectly affect the outcome of the game. </p>
<p>Features VCR-style controls to speed up or pause the action and any time and an ubiquitous on-line hint and help system in the form of an "Ask Landry" window in which you can consult him on any aspect of American football coaching.</p>

<p><em>Operation Spacehog</em> is a classic 2D side scrolling shoot'em up where players have to blast their way through space defending mother Earth from evil invading aliens. Three different pilots with their own characteristics can be selected from which adds some replayability. For each completely destroyed wave of enemies a power up token is awarded which can be used to but extra equipment for the craft like more fire power, heat seeking missiles, etc. Additionally, the game also supports for two simultaneous players for extra competitive action.</p>

<p><em>Freedom: Rebels In The Darkness</em> is a game that combines elements of strategy, stealth and fighting games. The main character is a rebellious black slave working on a sugar plantation that tries to incite a revolt among the slave population to gain freedom and to give comeuppance to each of their old masters.</p>
<p>At the start of the game there is four characters to choose, each with different statistics and abilities like "constitution" and "lock-picking". The main game screen is a map of the plantation, where you guide a small icon of the character while trying to avoid the guard dogs. If the dogs find you, they either bark and alert the owners or attack you. When they do, the screen switches to a first-person screen where you have to avoid being bitten and killed by the animal.</p>
<p>On the top of the screen there are four buttons, each with a unique function: * <strong>Path-finding</strong> lets you click on the map with a cursor and see a description of each hut and house.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Movement</strong> allows you to move your character. Left-clicking shows a first-person view of your surroundings. This screen can vary depending of the place where you are in the map. Most of the time is the recruitment screen, where you click on your brother slaves to amass a army. Their response is a random "yes" or "no". If you click while on a sugar field, you get the option of climbing the huts, picking the storage hut lock, or setting fire to the premises. If you click while on the housings of the owner or one of his henchmen, you get the option of either confronting the person, or running away. If you decide to confront him, the screen switches to a side-view similar to fighting games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9465/street-fighter/">Street Fighter</a>, with two energy bars at the bottom, where you have to fight one of the owner's men. If you win, you have the choice of killing the person or holding him captive.<em> </em><em>Review</em><em> is the game statistics screen, where you can see your progress in the game.</em> <strong>Advice</strong> only starts working once you get the support of either the shaman or the medicine man. They can heal any wound sustained by dog attacks and fights.</li>
</ul>
<p>The game accepts mouse, keyboard and joystick controls, and plays drum music and other sounds.</p>

<p><em>Trains</em> is a top-down managerial game. In the age of steam-powered trains, there are opportunities to make money on great railroads. It will be up to the player to take control of a train on a railroad and turn a profit. The player does this by moving the train to a loading station that will supply raw material, and stopping in front of it with the appropriate car and blowing the whistle to begin the loading process. This is then delivered to the stations of industries that need them, unloading taking place the exact same way. The faster goods are delivered, the more money is made, with extra profits available when an industry is in critical need of a supply. Meters of available industry supplies can be shown on the screen. The train itself can only be stopped and move forwards and backwards, following the path of the train track, left and right movement is used only at switches, where the track splits into two directions. Each action of train movement uses coal, multiplied by the weight of the goods being carried. Coal is resupplied at the coal yard, and is loaded into the coal car the same way as other goods, spending money in order to buy coal. If the player runs out of coal while driving the train, it will cost them twice as much to have the coal delivered to the train. Every 3 minutes, $200 is deducted from the player for payroll and any crashed train costs another $200 in penalties. Each level is a unique track design, and can take place across cities, deserts, mountains and plains. As industry supplies are managed, a track is gradually built at the edge of the screen which will lead to the next level.</p>

<p>An enhanced remake of the classic puzzle game <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> in which you control the position and rotation of falling blocks and try to assemble and clear lines of blocks as they fall before the play area gets flooded.</p>
<p>The release doesn't make any changes to the original formula, but instead brings the game up to date technology-wise and features completely new VGA graphics and full digitized sound, with new backgrounds and tunes based on Russian mythology and folk tales.</p>
<p>Additionally the game features 2-player simultaneous gameplay, with both competitive (in two separate play areas) or cooperative (with two sets of falling pieces in an extra-large play area) modes.</p>

<p>Not just a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6091/bbs-door-games/">BBS door</a> with a handsome terminal program, Slot-Tris answers the eternal question: what do you get when you combine the classic gameplay of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> with the bonuses of a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6618/vegas-bandit/">One-Armed Bandit</a>?</p>
<p>Not only does this additional dynamic (each <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Falling+block+puzzles">falling block</a> studded with little <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Slot+machine">slot machine</a> symbols to match during line-clearance for big bonuses) influence the final score, but the "money" earned can go toward every Tetris player's greatest dream -- buying power to influence the shape of the next block up on deck.</p>
<p>Local play allows users to enjoy this stop at the Russian casino crossroads without needing to dial in.</p>

<p>Larisa Oleynik (teen actress from <em>The Secret World of Alex Mack</em>) has gotten herself trapped in a hellish ASCII chemical factory, alternatingly filled with gapped walls and seven rooms between them containing moving spikes. As dashing Hunter Reeves (character from the same show, played by Will Estes), it is your job to maneuvre with arrow key presses through the gaps in the walls while avoiding the thrusting spikes, in hopes of reaching the bottom of the screen and retrieving Larisa... then to bring her back to the top and glorious freedom!</p>

<p><em>Following ten thousand years of the War of Dominion, the ten mutually battling races found surprise armistice beneath the domination of a single warlord, Hjenlnath, following infiltration of all major powers by his hitherto unknown race of shapechangers. The political landscape simmers following 30 years of ceasefire, while the city of Seratika in a central Neutral Zone attempts to dictate a lasting peace and resolve disputes. A hub of activity and adventure, it is also the only place in the world representatives of all major races can be found rubbing shoulders...</em></p>
<p>Another spin-off from the silly fantasy adventure premise of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21738/legend-of-the-red-dragon/">Legend of the Red Dragon</a> (following the prevalent <em>Noun of the Adjective Noun</em> naming scheme), this <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6091/bbs-door-games/">BBS door</a> injects an extra dose of filthy whimsy while yielding vastly expanded gameplay options and side-shows more in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/151376/usurper/">Usurper</a>.</p>
<p>Though the fundamental RPG gameplay is a la <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20741/progress-quest/">Progress Quest</a> (i.e. go find monsters... slay monsters... steal treasure... improve equipment... defeat masters... gain levels... raise stats) and remains much the same as its predecessors, it boasts many more nuances within the basic framework -- a huge selection of possible new race / class combinations (including the esteemed "Basket Weaver" -- a conservative tradesman type not suited for adventuring but guaranteed regular income) is only the beginning before you factor in choosing which strange new god to worship, which guild to work under, which magic spells to learn and which equipment to enhance.</p>
<p>If you choose to stay in town, you can build your fortune and reputation gambling and slaying (and laying) other players and NPCs (with optional finishing moves straight out of <a href="/search/?q=Mortal+Kombat">Mortal Kombat</a>) without ever darkening a dungeon's doorstep!</p>
<p>The activities of higher-level players ostensibly influence the plot of the overarching gameworld! As what superficially amounts to a "mature" LORD clone, all in all BOOB is a lot better than it needs to be -- and offers further room to improve with user-contributed in-game modules (or (groan) "implants", two official ones including the Hall of Justice and the Assassin's Guild.)</p>
<p>Beyond all that, of course, there lurks the shadowy rumour of the Obsidian Baboon itself, waiting to spring itself on unwary players who foolishly think that they've figured out everything the game has to offer.</p>

<p>The greatest race car driver of all time <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/49910/mario-andretti/">Mario Andretti</a> welcomes you to make a career of professional racer/driver. Obtaining the sponsor, you'll take a $20,000 and ready to start. For this money you may buy a Sprint Car and win a season races in this series to collect the money and progress to another series. There are six series available - Sprint Cars, Modified, Stock Cars, Prototypes, Formula 1, Indy Cars - each next is more expensive than previous.</p>
<p>The gameplay flows as first-person perspective driving simulation with ability to replay your actions in third person camera view under different angles. You have to be in top 3 at each race to progress in race levels (Heat, Consolation, Feature) on each track during the season to win more money.</p>
<p>Before starting the career you may practice to drive a specific car in each race series to beat the top speed, to explore different tracks (Monte Carlo, Detroit, Hockenheim, Daytona, LeMans, Indianapolis Fairgrounds, etc.), to count the number of laps for pit stop using, or just for fun. Also you may save/load your progress in the game.</p>

<p><em>Solid State Pinball: Tristan</em> is a pinball simulator which features a single medieval-themed board (hence the title) displayed in a single screen with score and bonus indicators filling the rest of the screen. Includes multiplayer hot-seat support in which each player plays a ball and switches when losing and also features the ability to nudge and tilt the machine, besides regular paddle controls.</p>

<p>Deluxe Edition of <a href="/search/?q=roberta-williams-phantasmagoria">Roberta Williams' Phantasmagoria</a>. Packaged in square box covered with black velvet and silver-colored printing. The seven CD's are separately packaged in a cardboard sleeve and bundled by an intricately folded sliding box. The manual contains full-color illustrations and a short story by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/390420/gieneke-spannenburg/">Gieneke Spannenburg</a>.</p>
<p>This packaging was used in the Benelux only, it was designed by Rangeela BV and distributed by HomeSoft Benelux.</p>

<p>Tronic is a little Breakout-clone with additional bells and whistles.
Goal of the game is to use a racket, controlled by arrow keys or mouse, to hit balls that destroy bricks. When all the bricks for a level have been cleared, the player will advance to a next level.</p>
<p>The racket can fire rockets at any time by using a 'Gigablitz' weapon. To activate it, hold down the 'Alt'-key and wait for an indicator to reach the top. The trick is, in order to use Gigablitz, no balls must hit the racket, or the Gigablitz sequence will be aborted.</p>
<p>When some bricks are hit, they release gadgets that can be collected. Many of them enable more balls on screen, enlarge balls or let you advance to the next level. Beware though, do not collect red-coloured gadgets as they can shrink your racket, invert racket movement or substract points.</p>
<p>Finally Tronic also has a built-in level editor that lets you create, play and save your own Tronic levels.</p>

<p>This combo package included three horror adventures:</p>

<p>Da Wardenz, an anti-terrorist tank force, is called in whenever there is trouble somewhere in the world. You are a rookie hired by the tank force and must prove yourself in 25 increasingly difficult missions.</p>
<p>'The Pen' is Da Wardenz' headquarters. It has all sorts of locations including the main hangar, basketball court, simulation room, workshop area, briefing room and various lockers (used for loading and saving missions). Before a mission, you can explore the headquarters and interact with each member of the team; you may learn something.</p>
<p>When you start a mission, the action is viewed from a first-person perspective. It has you controlling the M-13 Predator, a highly sophisticated and upgradable tank. The game is arcade-oriented and has much more in common with 'Quarantine' and 'Doom' than serious counterparts like 'M1 Tank Platoon'.
Your tank has unlimited bullets, can sustain heavy damage and can destroy enemies but also trees and buildings.</p>
<p>When a mission is successfully completed you earn cash which you can spend on repairing your tank and extra upgrades.</p>

<p>In the year 2104, the Solar Union (the government of Earth and the solar system) faces trouble from three former colonies. Under the guise of negotiations, the colonies' forces attack and capture three mining worlds: Neptune's moon Triton, the Earth-like planet Romulous and the water world Pacifica. Earth's survival is at stake. It is the player's mission to strike back at the invaders and recapture the three worlds. Earth's full arsenal of ground, air and naval forces is standing by.</p>
<p>This version of Nectaris is an updated and expanded version of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19699/military-madness/">original game</a> with a new background story, an entirely different graphical style and lots of new content. It includes all maps (the setting of which has been changed from the Earth's moon to Triton) and units from the original game. Two new sets of maps (the Romulous and Pacifica campaigns) have been added for a total of 96 levels. There are also many new units, more than doubling the number of the original. The non-lunar settings of the new campaigns allow for naval units for the first time (including submarines and ship-based aircraft), as well as such units as helicopters, jump-jet infantry and paratroopers.</p>
<p>Gameplay is unchanged from the original. Units move and attack in turns on a tactical map. Each unit has different ratings for attack and defense as well as range. Combat is decided by various factors including the combatants' abilities, troop strength and experience, terrain, and the positioning of support units.</p>
<p>Units cannot be created. The only way to gain new units is to capture depots containing neutral units.</p>
<p>To win each map, either the enemy's headquarters must be captured or all his forces be destroyed.</p>
<p>At any time between battles, the campaign can be switched among the three different worlds. The last mission beat on each world is automatically saved, and earlier maps can be accessed through passwords. It is also possible to save the game during a battle.</p>
<p>In addition to the single player maps, there are also 8 special multiplayer maps, which can be played by up to four players (or AIs, if not enough people are available). In multi-player mode, various diplomatic relations can be set between the different parties, from alliances to all-out war.</p>

<p>Navigate your way through 101 increasingly complex and deadly levels to destroy the evil icon that is hidden in each one. Of course, to do that, you'll need a bomb, which you'll have to find first. You'll also have to collect keys, missiles, batteries, mirrors and other tools to help you deal with the obstacles in the maze.</p>

<p><em>International Athletics</em> is an arcade track &amp; field game by the Spanish developer <a href="/search/?q=True+Emotions">True Emotions</a>. It was initially published by <a href="/search/?q=Opera+Soft">Opera Soft</a> in Spain in 1992 under the title <em>Olympic Games '92</em>, then licensed by <a href="/search/?q=Zeppelin">Zeppelin</a> in 1993 for their "International" series of sports simulations.</p>
<p><em>International Athletics</em> consists of eight events, grouped in three basic categories:</p>
<ul>
<li>Running - 100m, 110m hurdles</li>
<li>Jumping - Long Jump, High Jump, Triple Jump</li>
<li>Throwing - Javelin, Shot Putt, Discus</li>
</ul>
<p>Rather than the traditional rhythmic key tapping or joystick rattling of the <a href="/search/?q=Decathlon">Decathlon</a> offspring, <em>International Athletics</em> requires only timing, with most events mastered with only two key presses. To run the 100 meters for instance, you hit the action key once to get your athlete started, then adjust his target speed on a slider. Once that's done, you lean back and watch him race to the finishing line. Events such as triple jump and 110m hurdles require several accurately times keystrokes in order to succeed. In general, mastering the events and even setting new world records is a matter of only one or two repeats.</p>
<p>Practice mode lets you exercise your timing, competition mode plays through all eight events in set order. If you fail to meet the qualification requirement on one event, you are out instantly. Up to four players can compete on one PC in split-screen mode. </p>
<p>The game's presentation is thin, with digitized photos of the eight events as the main eye-candy and a complete lack of atmospheric stadium sequences, ceremonies or national anthems; in this respect, <em>International Athletics</em> doesn't even meet the standards set by <a href="/search/?q=Summer+Games">Summer Games</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Epyx">Epyx</a>' other late-80s sports classics.</p>
<p>Options include three difficulty levels, changing wind and different weather conditions, which are not visually represented but affect the achievable event result. Likely one of the most esoteric options seen in a track &amp; field game so far is the possibility to activate doping. This doesn't mean that players can actively dope their athletes, but they may fail random doping checks after each event, which results in immediate disqualification - essentially a form of Russian Roulette.</p>

<p>The year is 699. Young Slav prince Mirko is returning from a successful war raid only to find his home settlement burned to the ground and all kinsfolk killed. Swearing a revenge on treacherous neighbours, Mirko gathers his faithful warriors, leading them to conquer all surrounding territories.</p>
<p><em>Polanie</em> is a real-time strategy game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/371/warcraft-orcs-humans/">Warcraft</a>. There's only one non-linear campaign (25 missions) and the enemies use the same unit types. The only resource in the game is milk: everything - from buildings through defensive walls, bridges to new units - is built using a certain amount of it. The milk is produced by cows, which graze the grassland around your village. When they eat enough, the cows will return to their barns and the milk will be added to your resources. Woodcutters are needed to complete buildings ("bought" with milk), they double as axemen in combat. The early medieval setting is spiced up with a touch of magic: your men (enemies too!) may heal themselves at sacred places scattered around the map, priests and priestesses may call fire from the sky. Creatures of magic or nature may provide help or nuisance. Large warrior teams can be selected and controlled as a group.</p>
<p>The CD-ROM re-release added 3 new units, 5 short campaigns (total 27 new missions), 3D animations and music on audio tracks.</p>
<p>German edition, titled <em>Victory</em> and based on floppy disk release, goes beyond the obvious translation/dubbing changes and introduces a plot twist: the campaign map has changed from Polish to German territory in the background, so we no longer unite Slavic tribes (intro animation is absent as well).</p>
<p>Czech edition is based on updated Polish CD-ROM re-release.</p>

<p>This is the first game in the <em>Rally Championship</em> series. <em>Network Q RAC Rally</em>, as well as other titles, gives you an opportunity to participate in a long-running British rally championship. </p>
<p>To do so, you can choose one of the five cars: Toyota Celica, Ford Escort, Lancia Delta HF Integrale, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Subaru Impreza. The only customizable thing here is the tire type. </p>
<p>Controlling your vehicle is rather easy and driving model isn't complex, however, you can damage your vehicle and end your race before reaching the finish line.</p>

<p>The witch Circe imprisoned twelve virgins for a ritual sacrifice. Ulysses, the Greek hero, recently washed away on the beach after a storm destroyed his ship and its crew, is summoned by the populace to rescue the kidnapped women. In exchange, they promise to help him return to Itaca, his home. To aid in his quest, he receives from a wise elder a magical hammer.</p>
<p><em>Ulises</em> is a side-scrolling platform game from Spain. Although Spanish, the game has almost no text. The Ulysses character moves from left to right throwing hammers to kill an incessant wave of enemies. The game doesn't have levels, but sections within one expansive level. Precise jumps are required to clear abysses and gorges, and to avoid collision with dangerous objects. Ulysses can also crouch. The game starts with three lives, and each rescued damsel adds an extra one. There isn't any form of saving progress.</p>

<p>You are Rallo Gump, saving the planet GUMP from Mr. Glump Gump the Third and his invading Glumpites.</p>
<p>Rescue your fellow citizens from their Uglybottle prisons, and save your world.</p>
<p><em>Rallo Gump</em> is a side scrolling platform game, including features such as flying, swimming, and many hidden areas.</p>

<p>Gonzzalezz is a side-scrolling platform game from Spain. The main protagonist is a Mexican stereotype (complete with sombrero and huge mustache), that has an obsession with the traditional <em>siesta</em>. The game is divided in two loads:</p>
<p>● In the first one, Gonzalez must escape his own nightmare. He moves by executing precise jumps in one big level divided in seven sections, a surreal landscape littered with dangerous objects like flying vacuum-cleaners, disembodied hands, etc. The <strong>Q</strong> key is the jump button, while the <strong>O</strong> and <strong>P</strong> move him left and right respectively.</p>
<p>● In the second load, Gonzalez must find his hammock while avoiding the dangers of a stereotypical Mexican landscape (Indian tribes, wild animals, etc). Weapons and ammunition are scattered in one large level divided in sections. He can collect or drop these by crouching with the <strong>A</strong> key and can use them with the <strong>SPACE</strong> bar.</p>

<p>You are <em>Carlos</em>, a fat man wearing a black beard and bright coverall. You start your travels accompanied by a parrot in the jungles full of animals. During the game you should jump your way through 5 different levels full of different inhabitants (such as clowns, rats, monkeys, golf-players, etc.), climbing the ladders, entering the passageways to teleport to another locations, using the supporting devices (such as powder kegs to jump higher), collecting the different kinds of useful items from the chests, killing the enemies jumping over them, blowing them away summoning the limited amount of whirlwinds in the visible area, or morphing to the bull for limited amount of times. The parrot is flying over you and helping you to eliminate the flying enemies. On each level you have to gather the keys to open the gates, push some switches or levers, and collect certain items for some kind of picture.</p>
<p>To return to a certain level you should enter the proper password. The best scores are stored in a High Score Table.</p>

<p><strong>Chess Housers</strong> is a puzzle game from Spain. The player guides a disembodied glove with the <strong>ARROW</strong> keys through a isometric labyrinth with a checkerboard pattern on the floor and lots of chess pieces placed. The glove has to push (<strong>ARROW</strong> keys + <strong>SPACE</strong> bar) this pieces to clear its way to the exit. The pieces move with the same pattern that they have on chess: pawns move forward, horses have an "L"-shaped movement, and so on. The glove can be killed if it is in their path. The chess pieces are set up in small rooms as a series puzzles that must be solved. Other objects in the rooms include: </p>
<p>► <strong>Boulders</strong> that must be smashed by the horse pieces, if they're in the way;</p>
<p>► Transparent <strong>boxes</strong>, usually found stopping the movement of a piece, that can be destroyed by the glove;</p>
<p>► <strong>Pyramid teleporters</strong> to transport the glove to other parts of the maze;</p>
<p>► <strong>Maps</strong> show the maze layout to the player;</p>
<p>► Temporary <strong>save points</strong> in the shape of a glove stuck with a knife;</p>
<p>► A <strong>cross</strong> is the maze exit.</p>
<p>The game has temporary save points that disappear once the player exits to DOS. There is a password system: the code is displayed after the completion of each maze.</p>

<p>BBC Radio 1 DJ Mike Read presented a pop music quiz show, which is recreated here with questions from the 50s to the 80s. You can play against the computer or another human; either way, select a specialist subject and 2 team-mate graphics (all representing white people). The overall style and presentation are very similar to <a href="/search/?q=Elite">Elite</a>'s earlier <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8891/a-question-of-sport/">A Question of Sport</a> license.</p>
<p>In the first round you select one of twelve random questions from the Jukebox, each of which has four options. A correct answer earns you two points, while an incorrect answer gives your opponent the chance to steal for one point. In round 2 you get three clues to name a star - you get three points for guessing from one clue, two points from two, and one point if you need all 3. In round three, choose an Easy question (from your category) for one point, or a Hard one (from someone else's) for two.</p>
<p>Round four asks you to Guess The Year that a set of events happened in, with scoring the same as round 2. Then comes the quickfire round - answer up to nine questions in 45 seconds, with a 2-second penalty for an incorrect answer. Finally, the six remaining Jukebox pictures are revealed and answered.</p>

<p>The world is under attack from robot stompers from beyond the clouds, and the egg-shaped super hero Giddy has to save the day!</p>
<p><em>Giddy 3</em> is a freeware clone of <a href="/search/?q=Dizzy">Dizzy</a> and its sequels. Intended as parody of that classic series, it also stars an anthropomorphic egg that must collect objects in order to solve puzzles. At the left side of the top of the screen there is the counter for lives and three stars as the energy bar. If the egg touches any of the enemies, this energy bar decreases, and when it is completely drained the egg dies and the player loses a life. On the top-right side there is the accumulated number of coins collected by the character. Giddy can jump and use inventory items. When a light bulb lights up (when Giddy walks over certain spots), pressing enter displays a hint about one of the puzzles.</p>
<p>One of the main differences of this installment compared to the previous ones is the addition of side-scrolling instead of the traditional flip-screen. Also, this is the first time in the series that music and sound effects could be played simultaneously.</p>

<p>Teacher Mavis Beacon enlists you in class to learn the touch typing. The lessons are explained on chalkboard, and you have to type the proposed words with the certain set of keys by typing them with proper fingers. The keyboard and fingers are shown as well as the text rows necessary to be typed and typed by you. The first lesson begins with "ASDF" keys of Standard QWERTY keyboard, but the Dvorak keyboard is also supported and may be adjusted before the gameplay.</p>
<p>Also in the game the Arcade Racing is present. You should type the scrolling text as fast as possible to win a race with drivers of different skills. The skills of drivers and speed of typing are increased from level to level.</p>
<p>Progress Graphing is present to show your progress with over 20 graphs of different parameters. You may use this information to create your own lessons.</p>
<p>The multiple settings of gameplay may be adjusted, your actions and types of games may be explained by help and Mavis` comments, and your progress is saved.</p>

<p>This is a compilation release for DOS that contains three <a href="/search/?q=Wisdom+Tree">Wisdom Tree</a> games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8520/bible-adventures/">Bible Adventures</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10786/exodus-journey-to-the-promised-land/">Exodus: Journey to the Promised Land</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16805/spiritual-warfare/">Spiritual Warfare</a></li>
</ul>

<p>A good example of the difference a little multimedia can do, the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes plays like a textmode proof-of-concept of the better-known <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/392/sherlock-holmes-consulting-detective/">Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective</a>. The basic investigative elements remain the same: managing time dashing to various locations around Olde London Towne in search of clues, but here instead of successfully receiving them as video clips you often get cryptic encoded messages in "fill-in-the-blank" form, intended in total to spell out, some directly and some through phonetic wordplay, the name of the killer, the method they used, and their motive for committing the crime. Characters from the original tales including Dr. Watson, Mrs. Baker and Inspector Lestrade help to establish the flavour of literary canon as you investigate all-new crimes (some user-contributed!)</p>

<p>Super Mario may be a plumber, but is Mario a Super Plumber? Stand aside, goomba-smasher -- no platform game this, instead it's a textmode implementation of the solid gold (copper and lead might make more sense) puzzler <a href="/search/?q=Pipe+Mania">Pipe Mania</a>. What that means is that you are given a series of differently-shaped pipe segments, and have to lay them down to form a sequence on a 10x10 grid so as to ensure the longest continuous fluid flow through them. Unlike Pipe Mania, tiles can't be replaced with others once they have been placed, however you can exterminate the active tile by pressing K. Scoring is 25 points per square used, with 50 for using the second side of a cross.</p>

<p>A <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21738/legend-of-the-red-dragon/">LORD</a> clone with somewhat meager backstory and character motivation, this <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6091/bbs-door-games/">BBS door</a> puts the protagonist (that's you, bub) in a wicked near-future town where a mysterious force is possessing the residents and compelling them to conduct unsavory and anti-social activities, most of which involve brutal hand weapons with decidedly silly names.</p>
<p>The solution to the town's problems involves your engaging these deranged townsfolk in serial and repetitive single-keypress combats and attempting to decipher obscene menu options scrawled using entirely high-ASCII characters never intended to be used in the place of letters -- but they are fitting nonetheless for such unusual RPG options as [T]ake a Dump (see trivia) and [Z]lap your Monkey</p>

<p>Like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/25980/varitale/">VariTale</a> before it, TEA is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6091/bbs-door-games/">BBS door</a> for automating the infrastructure permitting the playing of Choose-Your-Own-Adventure type plot-forking games -- all it needs are the stories, provided by your BBS userbase (or, optionally, by an included sample pack of 65 rooms)! It starts you off with one room (not coincidentally an ad for the program's home BBS) and from there users can write descriptions of new rooms (hypothetically an unlimited amount, but only 100 in the unregistered version) with plenty of options (not necessarily merely binary choices) and full hypertext capability to connect to any other written page regardless of whether it fits the chronology or sequence.</p>

<p>This <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21738/legend-of-the-red-dragon/">LORD</a> clone (as it turns out, a popular template for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6091/bbs-door-games/">BBS doors</a> to follow) strips away the transparent sci-fi and fantasy trappings of the typical adolescent power fantasy, its teenaged author dishing up an experience far more close to heart to most of its pubescent players -- dog-eat-dog bullying on the schoolyard; hone your skills through combat against the nerds, geeks, and dorkwads, and improve your equipment until you can truly lay claim to the title of King of the Castle, lording over all the Dirty Rascals. Nyeah nyeah nyeah, nanny nanny boo boo.</p>
<p>This juvenile delinquency is simulated through the standard coloured text menus with single-keystroke option selections. Nothing truly twisted elapses (after all, children -- while cruel -- aren't always the most imaginative), and the gentler time that produced this game keeps it out of the troubled territory of, say, Rockstar's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/25437/bully/">Bully</a>.</p>

<p>The second installment in the series is a remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/55468/grand-slam-bridge/">Grand Slam Bridge</a> with modern abilities of its time such as VGA graphics, music and animations. It represents a card game Bridge with rules of Contract Bridge. For both partners a set of bidding conventions, which include Cue Bid, Weak Two-Bid, 5 Card Major, 4 Card Major, Jacoby Transfer, Gambling NT, and Unusual NT, may be adjusted.</p>
<p>The game progress may be saved/restored. Overall statistics for each player in the system are stored and may be displayed. The multiple options allow to adjust the gameplay such as rotate the table or change the TableTop, adjust conventions, give certain cards to certain hands to simulate some cases, set the hands visibility, choose the human/computer player for each hand, etc.</p>
<p>Hints, tutorial, and help on playing the Bridge are also provided. The game is allowed for up to 4 human players.</p>

<p><em>Wanton Destruction</em> is one of two authorized add-on packs for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/387/shadow-warrior/">Shadow Warrior</a> that were canceled during development and later released as freeware.</p>
<p>It adds three new Wang Bang-levels, a Capture The Flag-level and a new episode: Wanton Destruction. This episode features twelve new maps; also, some enemies now have different graphics.</p>

<p>Autobots is a platform game, where your player is a magnet for robots due to certain reasons. The reason for robots is to make you their slave for very brutal reason you could ever imagine, the reason for you is to smash them into one another for keeping the peace in the world. Different reasons may lead to different ends.</p>
<p>So you should clear levels full of the robots making them smash into one another and not allowing the robots to catch you. The robots always move towards your player, so if you can get two robots moving on the same lateral plane towards you then they may be killed easily. When two robots crash into one another they form a pile of debris which can also be used to destroy robots. You get 10 points for each kill and special features during your progress.</p>
<p>The manipulating of your player include moving your player by turns with cursor keys, teleporting your player randomly on the screen for limited number of times (you will always be teleported to a safe area where no robots can smash into you before giving you a chance to move), killing all robots in squares contiguous to your player for limited number of times, allowing you to make the robots move one turn while keeping your player in the same square, and zipping to the next level.</p>
<p>On-line help and sound toggle are available also.</p>

<p>The second installment in the series represents the advertisement of the Ford's 1990 product line and consists of five sections.</p>
<p><strong>DRIVING SIMULATOR</strong></p>
<p>Customizing the controls (i.e. using the keyboard, mouse, or joystick and related functions), sound, level of difficulty and type of driving, you may select the game of your choice from three different driving events: Test Track, City Challenge, or Back Roads. </p>
<p>The Test Track event is divided into Drag Strip (you have to drive straight shifting the gears up as smooth as possible), Amoeba Track (you have to drive as fast as possible on the whirly track) and Obstacle Course (you have to drive as fast as possible on the whirly track avoiding as much pylons as you can).</p>
<p>City Challenge takes place in Airport, Shopping Center, and Downtown. Each place is a whirly road with other cars in your way.</p>
<p>Back Roads have three distances: 5 miles, 10 miles, and 15 miles. They are also whirly tracks with the trucks.</p>
<p>During gameplay, you drive in first-perspective view behind the wheel of the Simulator Car (S.C.). There are three levels of difficulty to choose from: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Running off the road or hitting an object at the Intermediate and Advanced levels disqualifies you from the game. Most of the events also require manual gear shifting on Intermediate and Advanced levels, and automatic shifting on Beginner level.</p>
<p>Finishing the track, you may see the results such as your average speed, the number of avoided obstacles, and the score you earned. The score is calculated dynamically on the basis of difficulty level.</p>
<p><strong>ELECTRONIC SHOWROOM</strong></p>
<p>A menu of all 16 vehicles that allows you to see the picture and description of the vehicle you have chosen. </p>
<p><strong>FORD BUYER'S GUIDE</strong></p>
<p>The Buyer's Guide provides you with names for each model category, giving you an overview of Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles, trucks, and vans. It also provides you with a list of "specifications" on the vehicle and allows you to choose additional information such as standard features, optional features and packages, as well as compare two vehicles, or prepare a "financial spreadsheet". The Buyer's Guide information may be printed out. </p>
<p><strong>FORD INFOCENTER</strong></p>
<p>Electronic sampler of innovations in Ford Motor Company vehicles may be examined through a menu for the desired features. Each feature is described by text, with supporting animation sequences.</p>
<p><strong>CUSTOMER FEEDBACK</strong></p>
<p>This section will allow you to provide The Ford Motor Company with your opinions. After completing the online questionnaire, answers must be printed out or handwritten on paper, and mailed to the address indicated in the program.</p>

<p>Some games are both so compelling and so relatively straightforward to implement that programmers are driven to duplicate them upon first sight, if only to have a version to play at home. So it is that after his first round of <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>, British programmer <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/229503/graham-cluley/">Graham Cluley</a> was driven to hash out his own serviceable keyboard-controlled clone of the original <a href="/search/?q=Falling+block+puzzles">falling-block</a> megagame, never pausing to even confirm that his version had the same column-width as the standard version does. If it failed to take over the world, it's only because by '90, the market was already flooded with homebrew Tetris clones.</p>

<p>Essentially a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/131/pac-man-variants/">Pac-Man variant</a>, the particulars of this top-down monster-avoiding maze-completing game do a good job at concealing its origins. You control Wilf (an homage to magazine editor <a href="/search/?q=Wilf+Hey">Wilf Hey</a>, in an unabashed bid for a good review), an innocent dumped by circumstances beyond his control into a maze inhabited by sinister Glumphs. Armed with nothing but a drippy jam sandwich, your goal is to travel around the entire game board dropping jam on the ground without being eaten by Glumphs. Take too long and they'll unleash Frank the boiled sweet, who will undo your hard work by gobbling your tasty jam splatters.</p>

<p>Abmis the Lion, King of the Beasts, has a problem: all of his kingdom's potatoes have been stolen, without which his citizens may starve!  You control his navigation through a side-view platform maze avoiding animal hazards and collecting dropped potatoes, using objects you find along the way, all in pursuit of the foxy thief.  Once all a level's potatoes have been collected, a magical door will open permitting access to the next level.</p>

<p>After a long interstellar voyage the colonists established residence on the asteroid, in a complex named Astral.  Sadly, troubles were sure to follow, in the form of raiding spaceships full of bloodthirsty monsters.  You (and up to two other friends) play well-armed colonists, taking back infested colony chambers one series of furious firefights after another, running around rooms whose layouts are known but whose monstrous denizens are concealed by the fog of war.  Fortunately, there are a wide array of bonuses and bounties to collect from slain monsters, to be used and spent in the store between levels, changing tactics courtesy of an assortment of firearms and explosive devices.</p>

<p>Loosely inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Duck+Hunt">Duck Hunt</a> for the NES, for lack of a light gun this game instead demands an itchy trigger finger on the space bar. You play a little armed ASCII-man in the bottom centre of the screen; a series of rude birds will fly above you, and you must fire your shot timed such that the bullet's trajectory will intercept that of the bird. Too late, and the duck will insult you. Since you can only shoot straight up, this amounts to mentally anticipating how soon the duck will fly directly overhead, and subtracting the time it takes for your bullet to reach the duck's height. Gameplay continues until the hunter runs out of bullets.</p>

<p>Playing a bit like the reverse of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2307/pyro-ii/">Pyro II</a>, this game puts the player in charge of a forest fire response team, combating the spread of flare-ups into timberland and cabins using three fire-fighting tools: water Drops, Firebreaks, and Backfires, all of which work with varying success depending on the regard to the wind speed and direction. The layouts of flashpoints, cabins and fire-thwarting lakes is randomly generated with each game; a high score is assigned based on how quickly the player is able to control the total damage inflicted by all fires.</p>

<p>For fans of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/116/kroz-series/">Kroz</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/326/zzt-series/">ZZT</a> comes a textmode dungeon romp even busier and more abstract! You play a wizard who has ventured into caverns in pursuit of greatness -- as measured in the form of loot, here broken down into gold, gems and orbs. You're up against seven different types of enemies, each with different behaviors and attack types, but to defend yourself (well, to protect you during your invasion of their home 8) you have your trusty magik staff at your disposal, which besides making a good club allows you to cast spells, including the missile attack Fireball, the area-effect Abiotic Blast, and Teleport. Use them sparingly, though, as each spell consumes one scroll, and though you can find more in the dungeon, once you consume them all you're left with nothing but your directional staff-swings (attacking with the arrow keys while moving with the keypad) to hold the monsters at bay. When you're satisfied with your ill-gotten loot, find the warp out and enter it to the next randomly-generated level.</p>

<p><em>The War College</em> is the third and final installment in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/35451/d-ezra-sidran/">Ezra Sidran</a>'s <a href="/search/?q=Universal+Military+Simulator">Universal Military Simulator</a> series of tactical war games.</p>
<p>The simulation's core principle is a departure from traditional turn-based, hex tile mechanics towards real-time rendering of unit movement on accurately recreated topographical maps of historical battlefields. The presentation remains highly abstract, with units represented as colored lines and combat resolved in short text messages.</p>
<p>The game simulates four major historical battles:</p>
<p><strong>The Battle of Pharsalus</strong> (48 BC)  </p>
<p>In the decisive battle of the Roman Civil War, Julius Caesar meets Gnaeus Pompejus at Pharsalos on August 9th 48 BC. The battle is fought with melee units only. Caesar defeats Pompejus and becomes emperor of the Rome.</p>
<p><strong>The Battle of Austerlitz</strong> (1805)  </p>
<p>The French army under Napoleon defeats the combined armies of the Russians and Austrians in the Battle of the Three Emperors at Austerlitz in December 1805. Austerlitz is a classic Napolean maneuver battle.</p>
<p><strong>The Battle of Antietam</strong> (1862)  </p>
<p>Confederate general Robert E. Lee's advance is stopped by the Union army under general George B. McClellan in the battle at Antietam in September 1862. It is one of the major battles of the American Civil War.</p>
<p><strong>The Battle of Tannenberg</strong> (1914)  </p>
<p>In one of the rare maneuver battle of World War I, the German Eight army defeats a Russian contingent vastly superior in numbers in August 1914.</p>
<p><em>The War College</em> players control their armies with only a basic set of unit commands (movement, formation and fortification), but need to consider advanced tactical elements such as morale, experience and ammunition. While the terrain influences movement speed and combat efficiency, terrain types are not clearly indicated on the abstract maps. In tradition of the <em>UMS</em> series, combat formulas can be customized.</p>
<p>As the title implies, <em>The War College</em> is supposed to be an educative simulation for tactical study of historical battles rather than a pure game. With the program comes a digital encyclopedia containing basic background information on the four conflicts, complemented by artworks and period photographs. In addition, <em>The War College</em> features a multiplayer mode so that two strategists can compete over modem or local area network.</p>

<p>In 1995 <a href="/search/?q=21+Century+Entertainment">21st Century Entertainment</a> licensed several already-released pinball tables to the online distribution company <a href="/search/?q=Instant+Access">Instant Access</a>, which bundled them in a compilation named <em>Perfect Pinball</em>. The pack features content of three previous games:* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/703/pinball-dreams/">Pinball Dreams</a> (1993): Ignition, Steel Wheels, Beat Box, Nightmare</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2105/pinball-dreams-ii/">Pinball Dreams 2</a> (1994): Safari, Revenge of the Robot Warriors, Stall Turn, Neptune</li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/571/pinball-fantasies/">Pinball Fantasies</a> (1994): Partyland</li>
</ul>
<p>Of the nine tables, only three are playable - Safari, Stall Turn and Revenge of the Robot Warriors. The other six must be purchased and unlocked via the included Instant Access browser. The basic price is £5 for one table (~ $8 in 1995), £12 for three (~ $19), payable by debit or credit card. The activation procedure requires buyers to call a local phone number and exchange 18-digit code numbers.</p>
<p>While the game itself remains a pure DOS program, the Instant Access browser requires Windows 3.1 or better to run. </p>
<p>All tables exist in the original low-res VGA version (320x200) as well as in a high-res SVGA alternative (640x350). The CD contains two audio tracks. <em>Perfect Pinball</em> includes the "History of Pinball" feature, a database with facts and artworks for a broad selection of historical pinball machines.</p>

<p>The game plot is set in times of Vietnam War, where you are American pilot of the Republic F-105 Thunderchief affectionately known as the "Thud", a conventional strike and "defense suppression" aircraft. North Vietnam was divided up by the US military into a set of target zones referred to for some reason as "Route Packages (RPs)". The most heavily defended area was "RP-6A", in and around Hanoi. To enter into this target area, the F-105s had to fly over a region of hilly ground that became known as "Thud Ridge".</p>
<p>You are starting your career in "Wild Weasels" as Lieutenant, description of your first mission is to get the feel of your "Thud", but it is just a start of perilous and glorious ladder. The next missions vary from eliminating the Doumer tankers or bombing the bridge to dropping the leaflets or engaging the MiGs. Your rank may be raised if mission will be accomplished.</p>
<p>In the very beginning of each mission you should read the mission description, accept of decline this mission, and equip your aircraft with weapons and supplies. Taking off the airbase either from Korat or another place, you should flight to your destination eliminating the opponent MiGs, run the "Ridge", and complete your mission. The gameplay flows in third-person view with common flight simulator abilities.</p>

<p>Ingrid Bottomlow stands out from her family of gnomes - she's a gifted student, with a degree from the Institute of Gnome Economics. As a result, they exile her using a teleporting spell, leaving her lost in the forest. It is your job to keep her safe in this interactive fiction game.</p>
<p>The game is split into three tasks, broadly relating to animal, vegetable and mineral in that order. The first involves defeating an evil witch, the second is the Riddle of the Shrinking Teapot, and the third involves precious stones.</p>
<p>Commands such as FOLLOW, FIND and GO TO make travelling the game world much easier, and put an emphasis on object-manipulation and character interaction, rather than map-making.</p>
<p>Instructions can be issued to other characters, with words like THEN, FIND and GIVE to join them. This co-operation is essential to solve many puzzles, and takes place in a world where characters have their own aims and motives. There are BRIEF and VERBOSE modes of text. A running joke in the game is that the screen display adds a 'g' to the start of all words beginning with n - 'gnorth' and 'gnugget' for example.</p>
<p>Graphics are included in the disk versions of the game, except in the ports for Atari 8-bit and Apple II, which are text-only on every media.</p>

<p>Taking a tip from 1977's <a href="/search/?q=Surround">Surround</a> for the 2600 (and later, the 1982 movie <a href="/search/?q=Tron+franchise+games">Tron</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Tron-style+games">its light-bike spin-offs</a> -- but don't ask me where the banana came in!) this is one of those games where you control an extending line on the screen, avoiding collision with your own trail or that of the other player(s).</p>
<p>No exciting changes are made to the time-tested formula: the conventional options include game speed, number of players (2-3) and whether the game screen has confining borders or wraps around.</p>

<p>Aliens: go figure! Years ago Zybonians installed a control-center in the middle of planet Earth, so that years later, they could wrench the planet out of its orbit and bring it to their home system. (As the introduction notes: Why they want that? We don't know, but why let that get in the way of enjoying the game?)</p>
<p>A sequel to their bottomless pit game <a href="/search/?q=Deep">Deep</a>, written in Turbo Basic 1, Turbo Pascal 4 affords <em>Deep II</em> subtler structure and nuance. Both games follow the same basic premise -- as the documentation states: It's the same idea as Deep: you fall in a very deep pit. (Nothing is as simple as it seems: the computer randomly draws meandering cavern walls and you must direct your tethered stickman's descent so as to not collide with them, at the cost of shields.)</p>
<p>50 levels later, after picking up money and shield bonuses, avoiding mines, blasting through more than a little rock, and getting boosted with power-ups at automated pit stops, you too will arrive at the centre of the earth and discover the secret behind the Zybonian control-center.</p>

<p><em>Beer Trivia</em> tries something that very few games (only <a href="/search/?q=Rockstar">Rockstar</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21737/barneysplat/">BarneySplat</a> come to mind) attempt: to simulate inebriation in textmode. It plays as a multiple-choice trivia game, with lurid questions such as adults of drinking age might exchange at a local tavern, with one difference: if you get a question wrong, you have to "take a drink". Who can get drunk on virtual booze, you ask? As the character gets progressively more and more smashed, more and more of the text characters are replaced by random garble (the game's billed "intoxication simulation!"), making it more difficult to interpret questions and identify even known answers. The more drinks your player consumes, the greater the chance they will pass out, getting turfed from the game until the following day. One further exceptional racy element is the player's ability to have the correct answer to a failed question displayed in exchange for the virtual removal of a virtual garment -- up to three per day, beyond which even the computer doesn't want to contemplate. For registered users (only $10!), six bonus packs of additional questions on various subjects were available to bolster the 75 questions that came with the shareware installment.</p>

<p><em>Sacred Ground</em> is the sequel to the adventure game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4802/santa-fe-mysteries-the-elk-moon-murder/">Santa Fe Mysteries: The Elk Moon Murder</a> and quite similar in gameplay. The player has five days (eight hours each) to solve a case. </p>
<p>Randa Tasker, the wife of a local business man, has been kidnapped. With the help of a PDA and your assistant detective John Night Sky, you have to find clues and interview suspects and witnesses. Since there is not enough time to interrogate them all, choices must be made.</p>
<p>The game's interface is point-and-click. The locations you visit are photograph stills and the game is interspersed with Full Motion Video (FMV) movies. The main screen shows a calendar which shows the number of days you have left, a sun dial showing the number of hours left today and an icon for your PDA. Within the PDA there are icons for e-mail, suspects and evidence.</p>

<p>Ingrid is Ingrid Bottomlow, the intellectual-but-clumsy gnome we met in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/28316/gnome-ranger/">Gnome Ranger</a>. Her beloved home village Little Moaning is earmarked for a yuppie-friendly transformation by Jasper Quickbuck of Ridley's Manor. </p>
<p>Ingrid has three cunning plans to stop him - producing a petition with everybody's signature, finding a more orthodox prevention method, and finally infiltrating Ridley's Manor itself by pretending to be a maid, and then finding proof that he's a dodgy geezer who should be locked up. These three quests can be played in any order, although they logically follow on from each other. She is accompanied by Flopsy the dog in the first 2 parts, and her cousin Daisy in the third.</p>
<p><em>Ingrid's Back!</em> uses the same game system as the original, and other contemporary Level 9 titles such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1292/knight-orc/">Knight Orc</a> . Giving instructions to other characters (including Flopsy) and jumping around the map using GO TO and FOLLOW commands. A living and breathing world of people travelling, trading and relaxing underpins it all, and plays a part in most puzzles.</p>
<p>The disk versions of the game contain graphics, the exception being the ports for Apple II and Atari 8-bit, which are text-only.</p>

<p><em>Bluebush Chess</em> is one of the first computer chess programs for personal PC computers and has large graphics where the chess board covers nearly the whole screen. There are seven skill levels available plus postal chess. </p>
<p>You can play black or white pieces and control them by selecting them through keyboard cursor movement. The computer can play either side or both for a demonstration game. You can set up and start play from any board position. The computer can also select the best move for you anytime. When the computer is thinking out its move, the cross on the King's crown flashes and the internal speaker sound is used to signify when each move is made along with the piece flashing before and after the move.</p>
<p>The move list can be displayed on the screen, and you can also take back unwanted moves. The game has thousands of book opening moves and allows "en passant" pawn captures. All moves are checked for legality. The game is controlled via a menu system and you can change the play level, board setup, board color (15 different sets) and players color. In-game help info is also available.</p>

<p><em>ANAL: The Rectum Adventure</em> is a textmode proof-of-concept inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5960/r-type/">R-Type</a> and countless side-scrolling space shooters of its ilk. The game puts the player in control of a small triangular ship against a scrolling starfield and amidst a thronging swarm of stupid but dangerous green happy faces, which will cause the player to lose one life upon contact. The ship is equipped with infinite ammunition (fortunately, as there are similarly infinite amounts of enemies) and it can maneuvre around tight spots with the arrow keys if for whatever reason the player chooses to take a break from the itchy trigger finger.</p>
<p>Points are awarded upon shooting enemies; there is no goal save achieving a high score, and then beating that score.</p>

<p>Being a watered-down funnyman can make you some enemies in the programming community. Here, some QBasic hackers have whipped up a very simple simulator to dish out abuse to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/303577/bob-saget/">Mr. Saget</a> from the barrel of a gun, all to sitcom audience moans and whistles, while demented circus music eggs the player on. Targeting specific areas with the mouse crosshairs inflicts special damage, section by anatomical section, until the onetime comedian is reduced to a pile of hilarious steak tartare.</p>

<p>A no-frills QBasic turn-based top-down combat simulator with an unusual and controversial theme: bumfights, or otherwise put, combat between the homeless!  Their arena is the mean streets, and trashcans become the dispensers of various bonuses (feeble improvised weapons and armour) and penalties (health deductions from vicious rats! eek!)  Game settings allow for play between two to eight human or computer players, with the final winner heading to the high score chart with a money count totaling change the player found in the garbage and retrieved from the bodies of defeated opponents.</p>

<p><em>Protivostoyanie: Opaleonniy sneg</em> is an add-on for the real-time strategy game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/26122/counter-action/">Counter Action</a>, devoted to the winter period of World War II. It brings 14 full-scaled single missions, 15 maps for network play, 6 types of units, winter landscapes, new cut-scenes, buildings and objects, a multiplayer mode and an extensive manual.</p>

<p><em>Gertrude's Secrets</em> is, in brief, what you get when you take Warren Robinett's <a href="/search/?q=Adventure">Adventure</a> for the VCS (right down to the quacking dragon-duck!) and turn it into an educational object-sorting game for a younger audience than the earlier <a href="/search/?q=The+Robot+Odyssey">Robot Odyssey</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Rocky+s+Boots">Rocky's Boots</a>.</p>
<p>Gertrude is a benevolent goose who maintains what might be considered a dungeon: a complex of chambers containing puzzles which yield secrets -- treasures -- upon completion. But instead of monsters, the rooms contain something much scarier to a child: <em>education</em> in the fields of logic, pattern-matching (of colours, shapes and textures) and sorting, categorized internally as Array Puzzles, Loop Puzzles and Train Puzzles.</p>
<p>The player interacts with the game world by moving a cursor around the screen with keyboard or joystick, picking up and dropping objects in appropriate places to make things happen -- triggering puzzles or attempting to solve them. The puzzles gradually ramp up in difficulty, and a wide selection of whimsical trophies are awarded. To prolong gameplay enjoyment and the exploration of the play environment, Robinett's trademark easter eggs are in the eaves, as well as UI manipulation well before its time, allowing players to "skin" the game with different tilesets or manually edit individual tiles.</p>

<p><em>Reaping the Dungeon</em> is a turn-based, randomized dungeon crawler in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1743/rogue/">Rogue</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/22346/hack/">Hack</a>. </p>
<p>Below the surface of Jupiter, a machine runs out of control and floods the underground tunnels with synthetic creatures. You must descend into the depths to find and destroy the machine. The adventure is split into a freeware episode of 15 levels titled <em>The Weapon Recovery</em> and the second episode <em>The Machine</em>, which contains 50 more levels and must be purchased.</p>
<p>The basic challenge is to explore each dungeon level and collect treasure while fighting enemy creatures in simple hit-vs.-hit fashion. Precious metals and gems can be sold in shops to buy better weapons and equipment; raw crystals gained from defeated enemies help improve your character’s abilities, such as damage ratio, sight range or performance speed. Through battles and careful exploration, your protagonist becomes increasingly more powerful and efficient.</p>
<p>All level layouts and contents are randomly created. Each level introduces one new creature and at least one new map element or item.</p>
<p><em>Reaping the Dungeon</em> adds a number of original elements to the genre:</p>
<ul>
<li>The drop shaft that leads down to the next level relocates in random intervals. It must be found and tagged. Data chips scattered throughout the level reveal its current location;</li>
<li>In addition to weapon/device energy and health, your character has an oxygen pool. Each step consumes oxygen, which makes uncoordinated running-around in the dungeon wasteful and potentially life-threatening;</li>
<li>Energy, health and oxygen can be harvested from cell plants, which grow in a five-step life cycle. Good timing is essential to maximize the cell harvest;</li>
<li><em>Reaping the Dungeon</em>’s magic system is based on rare mushrooms that give special powers for several turns, such as improved sight range, perfect weapon proficiency, seed planting or the ability to walk through walls.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Reaping the Dungeon</em>’s graphics consist entirely of customized 16-color ASCII characters. The sound is limited to PC Speaker noises.</p>

<p>Carmen Sandiego was a little fish in a big pond -- gallivanting through enormous settings such as the USA, the World and, yea, Time itself, with her sinister and avaricious criminal plots.  Simona is a chip off the old block, but prefers to pillage without having to mess with luggage and those tricky time zone differences: her criminal predations are restricted solely to the Big Apple.  It's a big city, there's plenty to steal.</p>
<p>This clone plays much like its bigger sisters; you go from site to site interrogating witnesses hoping to uncover sufficient clues to both point to the suspect's next location and to gather the evidence needed to issue a warrant for their arrest.</p>

<p>The backstory is nearly as long as the game is: an executive summary might tell you</p>
<p><em>The shapeshifting troll Landloris has abducted the noble King and Queen of the mid-Atlantic island of Pandaris, returning with them to his enchanted catacomb domain on Manhatas, island of Chaos. Ten of Pandaris' best warriors haven't been heard from for two weeks since their group rescue attempt; you aim to succeed where they failed, going in solo, overcoming Landloris and restoring your monarchs to their throne. Honour demands you try for nothing less... and the ten thousand gold piece reward doesn't hurt!</em></p>
<p>Navigating the threats and enchantments of Landloris' magical caves by bludgeoning in multiple choice commands IN ALL CAPS, despite the text parser this game plays much like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure -- a whimsical one with portals and poisons, transformations and complications. Many, many sudden and arbitrary deaths await even the wary adventurer. (A '99 Z-code port lends this game, originally in QBasic, the baseline save/restore functionality it needs to make exploration less of a grind.)</p>

<p>Available in both stand-alone and add-on forms, <em>The Jurassic Levels</em> is presumably named to cash in on the then-current <a href="/search/?q=Jurassic+Park">Jurassic Park</a> hype. It contains 80 additional levels for the <a href="/search/?q=Lemmings">Lemmings</a>-influenced puzzler <a href="/search/?q=Evolution+Dino">Evolution: Dino Dudes</a> (known as The Humans in the UK). The objects collected during the first game are available from the start, so puzzles are immediately more complex.</p>

<p><em>Touring Car Champions</em> was the first attempt to create a game based on the Australian Touring Car Championship and Bathurst 1000. It was also the first to use full motion video as the base for a racing game. Only one track (Bathurst) is included. Touring Car legends was fully endorsed by the Holden Racing Team, Holden Special Vehicles, Mount Panorama Consortium, and Mt. Panorama Motor Racing Hall of Fame.</p>

<p>In January 20, 1996, an UFO incident ocurred in Varginha, Brazil, involving reports of UFOs and aliens, supposedly captured by Brazilian officials. Frustrating the military forces involved, some of these aliens escaped toward the city, where they were seen by some witnesses, including the player, who receives an special mission from them: to find and recover their captured space ship!</p>
<p><em>The Varginha Incident</em> is a FPS which mixes fact and fiction exploring the real happenings in Varginha. Taking sides with the aliens, the player must fight the Brazilian military forces, trying to rescue captured aliens and their spaceship. Though the game, the player will discover that a whole underground city called Stonedrome was built in southeastern Brazil, where aliens and human secret agents work together.</p>
<p>The game engine is 2.5D, mixing 3D models (for the background objects and vehicles) and sprites for the characters. The game explores real Brazilian locations, like the Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, the Sé metro station in São Paulo, besides the city of Varginha itself.</p>
<p>At the very beginning of the game, the player receives a Bioproc: an alien device which works both as a map and a translator. He can use four kinds of weapons, including an alien one. He'll also need to find key items to unlock areas and proceed in game.</p>

<p>Jim Hawkins is a young boy working on "Admiral Benbow", his parent's inn. One day a sea captain named Billy Bones takes a room at the inn and stays for several months. A blind man called Pew arrives and shows something to Billy that gives him a heart attack. Jim witnesses everything and runs to aid the captain, who tells him about his sea chest and his relationship with Captain Flint, a famous pirate. After he dies Jim grabs the key dangling from the corpse and opens the dead captain's chest to collect the last payment. He finds a packet inside, and decides to take it to two aristocratic acquaintances of his, Dr. Livesey and Squire John Trelawney. They discover a diary and a treasure map, and decide to travel to the island in search of the booty.</p>
<p><em>Treasure Island</em> is a text adventure, an adaptation of the classic 1883 novel of the same name by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/222329/robert-louis-stevenson/">Robert Louis Stevenson</a>. Unlike the book, the game is written in a second-person perspective. Otherwise, it follows the original plot closely: the player assumes the role of Jim Hawkins, and has to perform the same actions as the character in the novel. This leads to a more claustrophobic design, as players without knowledge of the book have to guess what to do next. To help alleviate that problem, other characters act as some sort of built-in hint system. The player can ask them about anything and they will provide clues when these are available. The parser accepts most of <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/infocom">Infocom</a>'s standard features like pronouns and chain commands.</p>

<p>In the dark future the new brutal sports game will be invented - <em>Killerball</em> - a blend of American Football, Roller-Skating, and Pinball. The three leagues (Elite, Major and Minor) will differ by the level of brutality. The action takes place in a circular rink. Each team of five players should put the iron ball in the small hole of the opposite team to make a score, and do not allow the players of another team to make the same. Each team player has health indicator, which will decrease during the game, because the only way to take the ball is to knock down the opponent in any brutal way. Each match during the season has time limit, but it may be finished also if all the players of any team will be unconscious and at least one ball will be put in the hole.</p>
<p>The game has a training mode, where you may play a single match with a computer or another human player, and tournament mode, where eight teams controlled either by computer or human players will fight for the victory. Tournament progress may be saved and restored.</p>

<p>In 1829 The Esmerelda, a cargo ship carrying gold, sinks to the bottom of the ocean. In 1927 a treasure hunter called Howard Kelp dons a diving suit and searches for the bullion in the wreck.</p>
<p><em>Treasure Trap</em> is an isometric action game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=5013156410819">Head Over Heels</a>, but less abstract in its theme. The player guides the diver in a series of rooms (100 total) where the main goal is to collect gold. The main hazard encountered is the sea life that occupied the vacant ship. The character has no weapons, but carries a limited amount of "smart fishes", trained piranhas that attack and destroy all the enemies in the room. </p>
<p>Since the player starts with 2 fishes and only receives a new one at each 80 gold bars collected, most of the time the enemies have to be avoided by staying away or jumping over them. Stacking boxes and other objects stops the fauna from getting to the character (and also allows access to high places). There's an air gauge that is constantly depleting at the bottom-right of the screen. It can be filled with the compressed air tanks scattered in some rooms. Some doors require geometric-shaped keys. These can be collected and stored in three slots at the bottom-left of the screen. The game allows saving at each 50 gold collected.</p>

<p>Four <em>Indoor Sports</em> are compiled in this entry to <a href="/search/?q=Designstar">DesignStar</a>'s SportTime line of recreations. Ten-Pin Bowling, Air Hockey (not on the Commodore 16), Darts and Ping Pong (not on the European Commodore 64 releases) are featured. The menus and options screens have the same feel as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/25368/clubhouse-sports/">Clubhouse Sports</a>. Each game has computer opponents at multiple skill levels plus human-versus-human and demo modes, and matches can consist of varying numbers of rounds, with other options depending on the game.</p>
<p>Ten-pin bowling is played from a side-on view, although once the shot has been taken you see the results unfold from the bowler's view. There are three stages to taking a shot. Move the player up and down to line up his run-up, pressing fire to set the position. Then, do the same to set the angle of the shot. Finally, after pressing fire to start the run-up, press it again to time the release of the ball, as close to the line as possible.</p>
<p>Darts has 4 skill and 3 speed levels, and players can play to 301, 501 or 701, to vary game length or provide a handicapping system. You can also set whether scoring must start or end with a double. Viewed from behind the board, you must first line up the dart, then set the dart's curvature and power by stopping a curved gauge on the right, then a rising power bar on the left. The view then changes twice - first a behind-the-player view to show the dart's approach, then a close-up of the board to show where it landed.</p>
<p>Air Hockey plays for five minutes, or until someone has scored 12 points. The view is above the pitch but angled so as to emphasize the goal at the top.</p>
<p>Ping-Pong features a handicapping system - six ability areas can be graded from 1-5, to ensure a closely-matched game. Again the view is from behind one court. To impart direction onto a shot, the angle must be pressed at the same time as the fire button.</p>

<p>This compilation consists of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/26122/counter-action/">Counter Action</a> and its <a href="/search/?q=Protivostoyanie:+Opaleonniy+sneg">add-on</a>. The game includes two campaigns for Russian and German armies, more than 30 models of WW2 technique, 24 summer and winter singleplayer missions and 27 maps for multiplayer. The box edition also comes with the original audio tracks, a poster, a badge and a printed Disciplinary Regulations of Russian Army.</p>

<p>Seymour goes to Hollywood to star in his first motion picture. As he arrives in his limousine, he soon discovers that the Dirk, the studio manager, has disappeared in Miami. Seymour must start production of his film by himself.</p>
<p><em>Seymour Goes To Hollywood</em> is a platform action game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/17787/dizzy-the-ultimate-cartoon-adventure/">Dizzy</a>, this time replacing the egg character with an amorphous blob of unknown origin. Like in the <a href="/search/?q=Dizzy">Dizzy</a> games, the main objective is to collect everything that isn't nailed down (using the fire button) to solve puzzles. In the upper left portion of the screen sits an inventory with three slots and beside that the score points and the energy bar. Seymour loses energy when touching dangerous objects and hazardous environments. When the bar gets empty, Seymour transforms into a pile of bones and the player loses one life. The game starts with three lives (shown as clack boards under the energy bar) and no way of saving progress.</p>

<p><em>Cyberia: Mission Norway</em> is a partial version of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/810/cyberia/">Cyberia</a>. It only contains about half of the game and was bundled with sound cards and other types of hardware.</p>

<p><em>The Aeronautics Quiz MK 2</em> is a shareware quiz by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/278124/martin-mielke/">Martin Mielke</a>. The game features 121 questions, appearing in a random order, about the history of flight, particular incidents of the past, especially of World War 2, or technical aspects of miscellaneous airplanes. Choosing between two or more choices the players earns a point for every correct answer. At the end the total score is displayed.</p>

<p><em>Afrika</em> is a German shareware strategy game for up to three players set in the colonial period in Africa.</p>
<p>Playing France, Germany or England, your goal is to defeat the other two nations. First you have to build up your economy to earn money. You can build tobacco or cocoa plantations, goldmines and diamond mines. It is important to choose the right environment for the different mines and plantations. If you build a goldmine in a desert, then you won't make any profit and lose money because there is no or only little gold deposit and your workers want to be paid, too.</p>
<p>From time to time you suffer from thieves who steal your earnings or from locusts that destroy your harvest. With a one-time purchase of guards or insect repellent you can prevent these incidents. Having hired soldiers you can destroy adversarial buildings to weaken his economy or destroy his headquarters to expel him permanently from Africa and from the game. You win when you destroy both opponents.</p>
<p>In the shareware version you can only play for an hour. By registering you don't have to bear shareware messages, can play as long as you want, and get three more maps.</p>

<p>A follow-up to the original <a href="/search/?q=Math+Blaster+series">Math Blaster! games</a>, <em>Math Blaster: In Search of Spot</em> is an educational title with arcade elements designed to help students learn maths while having fun.</p>
<p>The game allows students to practice basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills in addition to fractions, decimals, percents, estimation, and number patterns. The subjects can be practiced separately or together in review. Six levels of difficulty are provided. Like the previous titles, the game also includes an editor to create new problem sets (present in the PC version only).</p>
<p>Math Blaster's friend and assistant, Spot, is kidnapped by the evil Trash Alien at the beginning of the game. The Galactic Commander gives Math Blaster the mission to follow the Trash Alien to his home planet and rescue Spot.</p>
<p>The game starts with a complete mission (story mode). The mission consists of a series of four (three in the console versions) math activities (mini-games) strung together with cut-scenes. The activities can also be played separately, for practice or for score.</p>
<p>The activities are as follows:* Trash Zapper - Solve equations to gain tractor beam power, then use the tractor beam to collect space trash.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Number Recycler (PC version only) - Create equations by pushing around columns of numbers and operators. Correct equations allow you to turn the trash you collected into fuel.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Cave Runner - Use Math Blaster's jet pack to fly through a cave. He has a number on his chest, and it must be arithmetically between the numbers on each side of an opening in order for him to pass through. Droplets of water falling from above can change this number by performing an operation on it. There are also gems which can be collected for bonus points, and in higher levels, monsters appear that can knock Math Blaster down.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Math Blaster - The Trash Alien's spaceship displays an equation, and the four portholes serve as multiple-choice answers. Use the jet pack to fly into the correct portholes while avoiding floating trash and energy blasts from the ship. Bonus gems also appear at random, and after five problems a bonus round occurs where players get a chance to collect as many gems as they can within a time limit.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Upon finishing the complete mission, the player is presented with a certificate that can be printed out (PC version only). Their final score is also added to a high score board for their account.</p>

<p>The games have all been updated into the company's later adventure system, and have longer textual descriptions and some slight puzzle tweaks. The 16-bit versions are new and inevitably feature higher-resolution and more-colourful graphics.</p>

<p>It's the 22nd century. To unburden the situation in the crowded cities huge platforms with research facilities, factories and living areas have been built in the sky. You play a young man or woman who has just finished school and gets the chance to live in SkyCity, one of those platforms. But there is one condition. You have to find an apprenticeship within three months if you don't want to be sent back to the surface.</p>
<p><em>Skyworker</em> is a game by the German Federal Ministry for Economics and Labour that simulates the application process for an apprenticeship. In fact, <em>Skyworker</em> is a life simulation. With your teleporter you visit different locations in the city like a bar, a casino, drugstores or shops where you can buy things and meet people who give you tips about applications or other locations in the city. To earn money you can do temporary jobs which are presented as a mini-game in which you have to arrange figures by their appearance for instance.</p>
<p>Within three months you have to find an apprenticeship. If you are not sure for what job you want to apply for you can go to career counselling. In multiple choice questions they try to find out which job suits to you. Afterwards you can go to a training center where you can improve your skills.</p>
<p>After having created a curriculum vitae you can contact enterprises and are invited to an interview in which the boss tries to find out if you have appropriate skills and are informed about the content of the job you are applying for. The next day you get either a declination or an invitation to an aptitude test. The test consists of 14 exercises about general education, logical thinking and mathematics. If you pass the test, you have the job but the game won't be over yet...</p>

<p><em>The Alcor Trivia Pro Classic Star Trek (Star-Log I)</em> is the first of ten Star Trek trivia games by <a href="/search/?q=The+Alcor+Group,+Inc.">The Alcor Group, Inc.</a>. Each of them offers 150 questions about a special topic of the Star Trek universe. This one is about the adventures of the first Enterprise crew around 
Captain Kirk.</p>
<p>The objective of the game, which can be played by up to ten players, is to answer as many questions as fast as possible to beat your opponents and to enter the hall of fame. For every question you have to choose the correct one out of four answers. A timer counts down and the faster you answer the more points you earn. Having answered correctly, additional facts and trivia are displayed.</p>
<p>The game is completely adjustable. It offers changing all colours used in the game, deciding to use e.g. the timer or the hall of fame or not, setting how many questions should be played and how many can be answered incorrectly before the game is over for a player. Furthermore, there can be chosen between three different play modes: * The Number of Questions Game, which ends when the player has answered a set number of questions.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The Number of Misses Game, which ends when the player has missed a set number of questions or has answered all questions correctly.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The Casino Style Game in which a set number of questions has to be answered. The speciality of this game mode is that the player has to place a particular amount of his points before the question shows up. The game ends when all questions are answered or the player runs out of points.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Jo Guest in the Milk Round</em> is another Interactive Girl Club game featuring a well-known British model: <a href="/search/?q=Joanne+Guest">Joanne Guest</a>. The game is played as a mouse-driven adventure and the plot has much in common with other IGC titles. The player, as a sudden substitute for his milkman friend, has to deliver milk in the local neighborhood. At one of the houses he is invited inside by a young woman. As the game is progressing the hostess reveals more and more about herself, until a "victorious" sex-scene happens.</p>

<p><em>Adventure Book</em> is a suite of applications put together to allow a would-be programmer to compile simple Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style games. One of these included is <em>Gnomic</em>, a complete demonstration game only ever distributed with Adventure Book, a quick example of the hyperfiction engine's potential uses and properties.</p>
<p>No computer conversion of the devious party game, this is a multiple-choice text adventure game whose name applies doubly: not only does <em>Gnomic</em> pertain to the pursuit of knowledge (as with <em>gnostic</em>) but in this case to a very particular kind of knowledge: the location of a garden gnome in the rubble of an overgrown backyard. Choices are made by selecting the letter of the most fitting option; the use of inventory items is invoked by typing in the name of the object.</p>
<p>Also bundled is <em>Aliens!</em>, a demo game inviting a player to decrypt an extraterrestrial code and escape from a UFO holding cell.</p>

<p><em>Charlie Chaplin</em> is a unique game in which the player takes control of the world-famous comedian. As Charlie Chaplin the player has to star in films, which are much in the line of famous black-and-white masterpieces. After a scene is filmed, the player is given the opportunity to edit it. Once every scene for the movie is filmed and edited, the player is allowed to film, star in and edit a much more expensive movie (i. e. expensive script, more props and extras).</p>
<p>To resemble a Charlie Chaplin movie the game is deliberately executed in a two-color palette.</p>

<p><em>On the cusp of a breakthrough, Ministry funding from the National Board falls through for an unfashionable archaeological dig to the very origins of the Kharuen city-state. You play the project leader, illegally visiting the excavation site one last time under cover of darkness, using field tools of the future (palmcorder, wrist-lamps, nubblex gloves) to investigate the Late Arcanic catacombs of the philosopher-priest hierophant mystery cultists of the last dynasty, all the while reflecting on their relevance to the present day and your own role in it.</em></p>
<p>Using deceptively simple multiple-choice selections and the occasional invocation of an inventory item, this game acts as a guided tour by a certified expert, your narrating protagonist, into the remains of a fictitious civilization, translating glyphs and interpreting the values and fundamental doctrines of people long dead through the esoteric rituals of Gahbra and Ykrasia depicted in their frescoes and statuary. The exploration is external but parallel internal investigation follows suit; numerous different endings result depending on your studies, values and cleverness in perceiving the workings of antique machinery, reflecting on the anti-historical politics of the day and informing what is only suggested -- where the protagonist's story proceeds following the completion of the game.</p>

<p>The game represents the most powerful European teams of 1992 season. England, Germany, Scotland, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, France, and Sweden propose the best teams of their premier divisions such as Bayern München, Manchester United, Celtic, Ajax, AC Milan, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Monaco, IFK Göteborg, etc. for player's choice.</p>
<p>Gameplay flows in side view, where soccer players are controlled either by human or CPU. There are two modes of playing. The first one is "Friendly match" for 2 players (playable only if a joystick is installed along with keyboard). The second one is "Euro Cup tournament" for 1 player. Different options such as match length (2/4/6/8 minutes), weather conditions (wet/dry), formation of the teams (4-4-2/4-3-3/4-2-4), and national anthems (on/off) may be adjusted.</p>
<p>Simulation of the players` team actions lies in the following. When the ball is near the player of your team, this player is selected as active and becomes controllable. As this player you should run to the player of the opposite team and take the ball, after that you may run with the ball, which is stuck to your feet, give a pass to another player of your team, or strike the ball. Your player may be moved in 8 directions. Your goalkeeper keeps your gates by himself. Camera follows the ball but with some delay, so the ball is often not in the center of the playscreen as well as nearest player of your team is not visible.</p>
<p>There is no ability to save the game in progress. So tournament should be played from the very beginning 'til the end during a single game session.</p>

<p>This limited edition includes:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2644/mechwarrior-2-ghost-bears-legacy/">MechWarrior 2: Ghost Bear's Legacy</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19945/netmech/">NetMech</a> demo</li>
</ul>
<p>It is almost identical to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19940/mechwarrior-2-battlepack/">MechWarrior 2: BattlePack</a>, but it does not include the full version of <em>NetMech</em>.</p>

<p><em>Man Enough</em> is a full-motion video dating simulation game. The objective, as in most of these games, is to have intercourse with several women. The game starts with the player subscribing to a dating agency called "Man Enough", run by a woman named Jeri. She assists by popping up on the screen to give hints and evaluate progress. After that, the game goes to a gym where Blair, Erin, Fawn, Kellie and Quinn are. They can be clicked with a cursor in the shape of a human face: it changes to one with a speech balloon when placed over their heads (to initiate dialog and the dating progress), and to one with bulging eyes when placed on their bodies (to play a short "sexy" video of the girl).</p>
<p>The game manual comes with profiles for each girl, listing their predilections and dislikes. Using that information, the player must choose between three answers to each question made. These questions are displayed over a picture of the girl that changes according to her mood. Wrong answers bring sullen looks, and right answers bring broad smiles.</p>
<p>Jeri appears regularly to evaluate and encourage the player. Success moves the game forward to another stage, where the whole process is repeated again. Sometimes there is a change of pace with a mini-game (in the case of Quinn, after the second conversation the player has to win on a game of paintball against her). Each section has to be played from the beginning after failure.</p>

<p>An alien race watched the wars on Earth as television shows. After a period of peace threatens the ratings, two alien scientists go back in time on various continents of the planet and start to deploy modern weaponry on them. When they return to the present, Earth is engulfed in chaos. A British scientist discovers the conspiracy and using his new invention, the soul transfer machine, sends a boy called Billy to be incarnated on a native of the different time periods.</p>
<p><em>Legends</em> is an action-adventure with Zelda-inspired gameplay. The player controls a character pertinent to the time period (an American Indian from 1400 A.D. - America, a knight from medieval England, a Chinese warrior from Imperial China, an Egyptian acolyte from ancient Egypt, and Billy in the alien spaceship). </p>
<p>These characters collect objects and coins to buy items, weapons to fight the enemies and hearts to increase the health bar (located on the top-left of the screen). Pressing 1, 2 and 3 switches between the available weapons. Other characters provide clues and level objectives. Each epoch has bosses to be defeated and mini-games (for example, on the Chinese level there's a race on the Great Wall). After solving each time period, the game displays a password that can be entered at the start on the main screen. There is no form of saving progress while playing the main game.</p>

<p>A colourful but resource-efficient unauthorised fan remake of <a href="/search/?q=Joust">an arcade classic</a>, all of the salient elements remain from the absurd original: the bird-mounted knights jockeying for aerial superiority (literally: when two riders meet, the one in the lower position is dismounted), leaving eggs in their wake and avoiding additional threats from flying prehistoric reptiles and the red hand of an angry lava monster.</p>

<p>Number 13 in the Adventure series from Scott Adams, and the first which was never released in all-text format (except for BBC, Electron, Dragon and TRS-80 versions).  Solon, the Master Wizard has lost the 13 Stars of Power.  It is up to you, his faithful apprentice, to retrieve them from Claymorgue Castle.</p>
<p>This is similar to the other SAGA games in the series.  Additionally, there is some use of magic of course!</p>

<p>Three-on-three basketball game featuring Patrick Ewing, Joe Dumars and Dominique Wilkins.</p>
<p>Play as the 'Dream Team' or against the 'Dream Team'.  The game features asphalt and hardwood courts in a few different locations.</p>
<p>The game has 15 set plays that the players can execute, and a playmaker utility that allows you to come up with your own plays.</p>
<p>The game also has a player-management utility that allows you to edit player attributes.</p>

<p>HOMERUN! NUTS! That's not that great a thing for you as you are the batboy and must climb the structure to retrieve the homerun ball. Be careful not to hit any moving items. This plays out rather like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=076930024713">Donkey Kong</a></p>
<p>You begin in the bottom right or bottom center and must make your way, via ladders, to the top left to retrieve a ball. Avoid moving obstacles however you can. Be careful you do not touch an obstacle or you will lose a life and be returned to your starting point. When you get the ball, you move on to the next level.</p>

<p><em>Classic Mystery Library</em> is a compilation of 3 classic Infocom games:</p>
<ul>
</ul>

<p>This was a special limited release at Software Etc. packing together the first five Ultima games as the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1078/ultima-trilogy-i-ii-iii/">Ultima Trilogy</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/884/ultima-iv-quest-of-the-avatar/">Ultima IV</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/808/ultima-v-warriors-of-destiny/">Ultima V</a>. These were just the standard versions of these games but bundled together at one low price.</p>

<p><em>Perseus &amp; Andromeda</em> is Number 9 in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/73444/mysterious-adventures/">the Mysterious Adventures series</a>. As the title implies, this one involves Greek mythology involving the characters Perseus and Andromeda. Hero Perseus must slay Medusa and rescue Princess Andromeda who will then become his bride. To accomplish this, he must arm himself with a sword, shield and sandals.</p>
<p>This game follows the Perseus mythology story closely (as seen in the movie "Clash of the Titans" for example). Many puzzles involve giving an object to someone, who then gives Perseus another object. Entering temples and praying can produce plot-advancing events.</p>
<p>Around this time, the game engine was redone to allow complete sentences instead of the more primitive 2-word Scott Adams parser that had been used previously, although early versions of the game may have still used the cruder parser.</p>

<p>Number 10 in <a href="/search/?q=Mysterious+Adventures">the Mysterious Adventures series</a> of interactive fiction is inspired by the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/199907/agatha-christie/">Agatha Christie</a> book "<em>And Then There were None</em>". The player's aim is to find the gold statue, formed by Major Johnstone-Smythe from most of his assets shortly before his death. The Major also made 10 worthless copies in various colours, and hid them in and around his mansion. Only the 10 'little indian' figurines, assembled together, would reveal the location of the final golden one. These figurines are hidden behind and under ordinary household objects, and in various hiding places. The game begins in a train carriage and the player's first task is to prevent the train from crashing, which must be achieved in a limited number of moves. Once this has been achieved the train arrives at Lower Massington station and the player must then find their way to the Major's mansion in Upper Massington.</p>
<p>Around this time, <a href="/search/?q=Scott+Adams">Scott Adams</a>' game engine was redone to allow complete sentences instead of the more primitive 2-word input that had been used previously. <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/76842/brian-howarth/">Brian Howarth</a> gained the chance to use this in the Mysterious Adventures games, although early versions of the game may have still used the cruder parser.</p>

<p><em>Depth Dwellers</em> is a shareware first-person shooter. It was released as a one-part episode, with a total of three episodes in the registered version, and is fundamentally similar to <a href="/search/?q=id+Software">id Software's</a> <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a> in terms of game engine and play mechanics, and also offers an optional high-resolution video mode or stereographic mode for a 3D-glasses peripheral.</p>
<p>In this sci-fi driven outing, the player takes on the role of a trained soldier, the son of Earth's diplomatic ambassador, secretly sent down to a planet which is in peril, known as 'Ora', where its inhabitants were enslaved by a tyrannical race known as the RI. They want to plunder the planets' most rich resource, known only as 'Zendle' at any cost, as its properties would assist greatly in the creation of a new weapon’s system to ensure the RI's dominance of Ora, and ultimately all neighbouring planets. </p>
<p>Each episode begins with the chapter storyline displayed in text format and your ultimate goal is also outlined here (it can incidentally be called upon during the course of the game). Gameplay elements include rescuing the slave Depth Dwellers, who appear chained to walls, mining shackled with pickaxes, or found wandering aimlessly through the labyrinths. You set them free through your advanced beaming transport technology which dematerializes and then rematerialises the poor souls to safety.</p>
<p>Objective-driven scenarios are brought forward, such as in one instance, having to destroy a communications system to prevent the RI from calling upon reinforcements. Various other assignments are given during the course of each episode. In every level, your primary goal is to find one or more keys which grant access to a transporter room, taking you to the next stage.</p>
<p>Collect new and increasingly powerful weapons from fallen enemies, or find them stashed in a plethora of secret areas. A rapid fire pulse laser, rocket launcher, flame thrower and a strategic mine dispensing armament, among other goodies become at your disposal as you delve deeper into the mines of the Depth Dwellers.</p>

<p><em>A famed archaeologist named Edward Lynton disappears mysteriously. Richard, his teenager son Richard sets out to discover what happened with his father. Unbeknown to him, the evil god Darsuggotha is trying to ascend from his dimension and incarnate on a heathen priest called Tzen. Richard must stop him, as the demon is bent on destroying the world.</em>
<strong>Demon's Tomb: The Awakening</strong> is a text adventure set on England on modern times. The game starts with a prologue to the rest of the game, where the player controls the main character's father while he is fighting for his life. After this brief prelude, the story jumps to 16 years-old Richard and his search for his father in Britain's moors.</p>
<p>The parser is on par with the one developed by <a href="/search/?q=Infocom">Infocom</a>. It supports chain commands and adverb recognition, and goes beyond by adding support of mouse input and interface customization. These features are enabled on a menu that pops up when right-clicking on the screen.</p>
<p>The optional verb menu allows complete sentence construction with the mouse. The interface can be changed to several different ways of displaying text, from a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/50/zork-the-great-underground-empire/">Zorkish</a> traditional full screen output to a scrolling window.</p>
<p>Some locations have a picture associated with them that can be displayed by pressing a key.</p>
<p>There is support for setting up macros within the game (for example, a "IN" abbreviation for "Inventory" can be set by entering DEFINE IN=INVENTORY).</p>
<p>The game has an online hint-system. The player gets clues by using the THINK ABOUT command with something in the game.</p>
<p>The game supports disk saving and loading, as well as memory saving and loading (with the commands RAM SAVE and RAM LOAD, respectively).</p>

<p>This is an adventure game in a similar vein to <a href="/search/?q=Where+in+the+World+is+Carmen+SanDiego">Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego</a>, although the questions deal with additional topics besides geography (science, weather, history, etc.). And instead of pursuing a variety of henchmen leading-up to Carmen SanDiego, each puzzle is just another step towards stopping Dr. Data.</p>
<p>The game is based on a book of the same name.</p>

<p><em>Denarius Avaricius Sextus</em> is a text-parser adventure game similar to adventure games such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6418/kings-quest-quest-for-the-crown/">King's Quest</a>. </p>
<p>The game is set in the Roman city of Pompeii in 79 A.D., where the player takes on the role of a wealthy Roman citizen Avaricius aka Avvy. The objective of the game is to escape Pompeii before the (historic) volcanic eruption destroys the city. In order to do so, the player must explore the city of Pompeii for an escape route and overcome puzzles and obstacles along the way.</p>
<p>A built-in command menu is also available as a substitute for typing the text parser commands.</p>

<p><em>Checkmate</em> (or <em>Chess Champion 2175</em>) is the successor of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/24828/chess-player-2150/">Chess Player 2150</a>. Most basic options and displaying are the same like in the predecessor. Improvements are done in the strength of the chess engine (the authors claim over 2000 ELO for the program), the usage of extra RAM for additional deep searching, a bigger opening library, the possibility to extend the opening library by the user and some improvements to the user interface.</p>
<p>Otherwise this is a traditional full-featured chess game with all of the standard chess features. Difficulty is chosen by selecting one of four levels and then assigning a time limit for the computer to choose a move. The idea is to allow infinite degrees of difficulty. The board is rendered in 3D, and the player is able to rotate the board through any angle.</p>
<p>The game offers options to rate the approximately ELO rating of the player by showing different board situations and judging the users solutions. This can also be used to judge the ranking of the program. During play, the program can give you tips, you can change the sides or force the computer to stop thinking and take the best move found until then.</p>

<p>Since the beginning your parents knew you were somehow different from the others. You have the spark of Elemental Powers and dangerous tool and illegal, unless one is a priest of the Cult of Wisdom. Your father sends you off to learn under the guidance of an elementalist, hoping you would not suffer the same fate as your grandfather, who was hunted down by the Cult for not becoming a priest.</p>
<p>The elementalist eluded the Cult by living far from large towns and cities. He was forgotten by the cult. Your father hoped you would be forgotten as well. And now you return...</p>
<p><em>Aleshar: The World of Ice</em> is a top-down perspective role-playing game (RPG) in a world surrounded by snow and ice. Your character may be created from various available classes (hunter, healer, bard, etc.), each with different specialty statistics which may be tweaked during character creation. Character statistics and abilities will increase during the game, depending on constant use of a particular ability. There are no leveling-ups or experience normally found in other RPGs.</p>
<p>The world of ice is divided into two major areas:
1. The overland map, where you can encounter (random) monsters and visit towns, dungeons and caves. Here you can initiate hunting actions to acquire rations and use the sextant to identify your location. Time setting on the overland map is real-time, thus random monster encounters may issue even though your character is not moving. </p>
<ul>
<li>The tactical map where you commence combat and/or interact with people (when entering towns). Interacting with people involves a text parser where you enter keywords (e.g. name, job, buy/sell, etc.) for further dialogs. Certain keywords are automatically highlighted.</li>
</ul>
<p>Combat occurs when encountering random monsters on the main map. The turn-based combat consists of simply moving your character to the enemy position, or manually aiming at the enemy with melee or ranged weapons. Combat then is defined by text messages indicating attack and defense roles.</p>
<p>Magic (or known as Spark in Aleshar) is an ability acquired later in the game, consists of single or combined use of the five available runes (fire, water, earth, air, and spirit). Each spell may be tweaked to a certain power level, the higher the power used, the greater the effect but the more straining it is to your character's fatigue. Spells directed to yourself or your allies are always beneficial while spells directed to your enemies are always damaging.</p>

<p>Included with IBM's <em>PC-DOS</em> was Microsoft's BASICA (Advanced BASIC) interpreter and several programs, one of which was a game and hence is of interest to us: <em>DONKEY.BAS</em>.</p>
<p>Directing a sports car on a stretch of rural road, the player must beware of donkeys roaming its picturesque lanes. Spot a donkey ahead and the player must quickly determine whether to switch lanes with the space bar before the car's course brings it into a messy head-on collision. With each burro successfully traversed, the car moves a little higher on the road -- closer to earning a point for the player (after passing eleven mules) but also giving less response time between the appearance of the titular donkey and its potential impact.</p>

<p>In <em>Fisher-Price: Firehouse Rescue</em>, the player controls a fireman driving a firetruck. Both the fireman and the firetruck bear the familiar style of the popular Fisher-Price toy line. The object of the game is to rescue pets from trees and people from houses in the immediate neighborhood. There are 2 parts to this task: the first part involves navigating the maze-like streets from an overhead perspective in order to find the troubled residence. Once the house is reached, the second part of the job is to maneuver the firetruck's ladder underneath the person or animal in need of rescue, from a side perspective, and letting them down to safety.</p>
<p>While the first level confines the entire neighborhood to a one-screen maze, later levels span multiple screens, thereby increasing the challenge. Further, later levels also add time limits and additional keys that the player must collect before attempting the rescue mission.</p>

<p><em>Fisher-Price: I Can Remember</em> is a card-based game of memory transposed onto the NES. The object is to flip over pairs of cards and find pairs that match. If an unmatched pair is flipped then they get flipped back and the player must remember that data for their next turn. The game has 3 levels, with each having progressively more cards (12, 16, or 20). The cards contain pictures of Fisher-Price toys. Finding matches removes the cards from the screen which then reveals parts of a larger Fisher-Price item.</p>
<p>The game allows a player to play alone, or it allows 2-player competitive play. Further, it also allows human vs. computer competition, where the computer player is named "Electro".</p>

<p><em>Fisher-Price: Perfect Fit</em> is an activity that drops shapes onto the screen (usually in the form of Fisher-Price toys) which the player must then manipulate and match onto one of a series of silhouettes. In earlier levels, this is just a matter of moving the shape around the screen. In later levels, the player must also flip the shape vertically, horizontally, or both, before it forms the perfect fit for one of the silhouettes. The games can be played against the clock. There is also 2-player alternating play, where 2 human players can compete, or a human player can square off against the computer player (named "Electro").</p>

<p>In this educational game you should help Snap Dragon, accompanied by his friend Teddy Bear, to make his photo album. Choosing one of the six locations (bathroom, underwater, farm, camping, bedroom, space), you should sort several items (4-10) on the screen and make a shots to add new photos to album. Animation of movable items and characters is present, entertaining the kid player.</p>
<p>The Coloring Book with the 12 images available to paint is present also as another side of the game. During the painting, the image may be printed.</p>

<p>This add-on for the original release of SimCity adds three different alternate looks to the game: Future U.S.A., Future Europe and Moon Colony. Gameplay is unchanged by installation of the Graphics Set, but all in-game graphics and text are replaced. Buildings all look different, and the various events and disasters are reinterpreted and given a different flavor.</p>

<p>The Blodroid Empire has launched a mass attack on Earth. Fortunately, its entire network of ships use shields powered remotely from a single generator located on their homeworld. As a feared pilot, you must fly your Astrohunter spaceship through hostile territory to destroy it.</p>
<p>The journey is viewed from above. The threat is from nine increasingly-tough Supercruisers, which have the ability to launch spaceships, missiles and mines. These must all be avoided or shot out. In this part of the game, you have four lives, represented by shields which deplete as you take hits.</p>
<p>The last Supercruiser contains the six all-important Generator panels. This final phase of the game takes place on foot, as you destroy them with projectiles. You must then return to your ship before everything explodes and takes you with it.</p>

<p>Shredder will assume control of New York City in 48 hours. The Ninja Turtles must stop him and at the same time fight even the lesser crimes taking place in New York City. No surprise that each of these crimes leads to Shredder.</p>
<p>Along with the standard side scroller, each turtle uses a different weapon (just like in comics, Leonardo has swords, Michelangelo nunchakus, etc.) to fight criminals. Each turtle has stats (strength, speed, energy) that increase the more they fight; furthermore, when they reach a certain level of strength, they gain additional attacks!</p>
<p>The player has 48 hours to complete the game. These are 48 real
hours, but you will spend lot of them resting the turtles to regain their health (with the "rest X hours" command) in-between missions. However, you can even save game for later reload.</p>
<p>There are 16 levels for exploration, their path frequently deviates from simple left-to-right walking: they'll have to enter doorways, windows, and sewer tunnels, climb ladders, and even locate the occasional item needed to cross a barrier.</p>

<p>Plot: You play as Nick, and you must save your true love, Xianna, from the hands of gangsters. </p>
<p>Gameplay: You choose from five different cities to start out in. They are, in order of difficulty, Denver, Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York. The difficulty lies in the number of "turfs" there are in each city. For instance, Denver, the easiest, only has two "turfs". This means that you must defeat two groups of thugs before you can beat Denver.</p>
<p>Control: Controls are simple. You move with the arrow keys, kick with the 'alt' key, and punch with the 'space' key. Occasionally, you can find weapons (chain, crowbar, knife) which you pick up with the 'ctrl' key.</p>

<p>This pool simulator is set in the Pub. You may direct the white ball by moving the cross cursor on the pool table, adjust the spin by selecting the place, where cue strike the ball (nine places on the ball is available such as center, bottom, right, top left, etc.), and select the power of stroke. All balls should be pocketed in the correct order (ball "8" should be pocketed last) on the table formed the regular hexagon. When rack is completed, the game advances to the next level, setting the balls in more difficult positions on the table. 5 misses are allowed for each level before the finish of the game. Audience of the pub watches the gameflow, says different comments on the player's actions, and takes the beer from the barmaid.</p>
<p>The game is available for 1 or 2 hot-seat players. Each player in 2-players mode use own table with own balls and own game set.</p>

<p>Inner Worlds is a side-scrolling fantasy action game in which you play the role of a woman named Nikita who happens to be a werewolf. The game consists of three episodes (the first was distributed as shareware, you had to buy the full game to play the other two).</p>
<p>In the first episode, Nikita is trusted by the village elder to free her people from the Gralob, an evil creation of a misguided genius, so she must travel to Castle Drofanayrb where the creature lurks. In the second episode she finds out that the Gralob was only one of two horrible creatures. And finally, in the third episode, she must travel to a volcanic mountain, inside which the secret of Drofanayrb lives, to fulfill her destiny.</p>
<p>The gameplay is quite simple. You can jump, climb and crawl (same things in wolf form, however you're much smaller as a wolf, thus you can squeeze through narrow passages, and you have a special "frenzy" move that tears enemies apart). In some levels, you can find necklaces that upgrade your health, mana or attack damage. You can find weapons such as hammers, swords, or bows, and you can upgrade them with scrolls giving them unique abilities (ex. the hammer can "throw" lightning). You can also find different gems that give life or mana and potions that help jump higher or fall slower. Mana is needed for spells that you can aquire from level bosses. Each episode consists of 9 levels, and every third level has a boss.</p>
<p>The enemies consist of animals, and experimental creatures of the castle. So you'll encounter spiders, bats, huge centipedes, alien-like creatures, and huge green beasts that can stretch their arms.</p>
<p>The graphics of the game are a little strange as the characters are in 2D but the scenery and the foreground is a little bit 3D. The music creates an eerie mood suitable for the game.</p>

<p>Seeing the carnival in the distance, you were interested and decided to stop near Troggle Shoot. The owner of it, Dr. Quandary, proposed you to shoot at selected targets and to win a one of three dolls. In any case, either you won or did not, Dr. Quandary awarded you with one of the dolls based on your choice. But a victory only looks like a victory; your mind will be put in the doll's body and will be sent to the mysterious island, where the main gameplay begins.</p>
<p>As a doll, you'll wake up at the beach, where the bottle from the sea arrives. Reading the message from the bottle and the letter from near post stand, you're informed that you should collect certain items and brew them in a magical cauldron to prepare Fixer Elixir. Drinking it, you will return to your real form in the real world. Items will be given to you, when you complete certain puzzle or challenges. The puzzles are remakes of classic ones and vary from musical sequence repeating to Tangram and Tower of Hanoi. Different inhabitants of the secret island interact with you as well as the image of Dr. Quandary himself keeps an eye on you.</p>
<p>Three dolls represent the difficulty levels, which are kept in their names: B. Ginner (beginner), O.D. Nary (ordinary), D. Feecult (difficult). Difficulty is increased by the number of items in the puzzles, challenges, etc.</p>

<p>This is an official two game pack from <a href="/search/?q=empire-interactive-entertainment">Empire</a>, consisting of <a href="/search/?q=Twilight+2000">Twilight 2000</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1738/space-1889/">Space 1889</a>. As part of a re-release collection, these two games were offered on one CD-ROM. A small insert offered basic installation information and a copy protection sheet for Space 1889. The game manuals were stored on the CD-ROM in PDF format.</p>

<p>Mankind have always tried to break through the borders of solar system, but due to wars, economic and ecological crisis this dream for a long time remained unrealised. In the third millennium the required technological breakthrough happened, which allowed humanity to make a step toward stars. Long after, widespread colonies, located on a distance of hundreds and thousands light years from the Earth, formed a new global alliance - League of the Intergalactic Nations, which guaranteed peaceful being, with all political and economical sovereignty for all members. But one nation, Quakers, wasn't interested in peace at all. </p>
<p>Though Quakers attacking forces was destroyed after all, they still have many fortified bases at their mother planet. Pike - it is a military hovership, specially designed to efficiently fight on a surface of a waterworld. </p>
<p>Game is a top-down arcade shoot-'em(most of 'em)-up. Unlike many other arcade games, the map is actually rotating around you, with your ship remaining static. You can pilot Pike or helicopter called Hind, each has a different gameplay strategy. You can equip your craft with machine guns, flamethrowers, plasma guns and several types of missiles and torpedoes.</p>
<p>In campaign mode game is separated onto days, and you must complete more than half of presented missions to move on to the next day. Usually, one day contains five basic missions and one secret. Objectives are simple - destroy/protect something and return to base. </p>
<p>Besides global campaign, you can play random missions, duel mode or multiplayer via modem, null-modem or IPX network.</p>

<p>In this simulation of the famous TV game show, the questions are asked, and players must find the answers, which are hidden in a letter grid. Players win points by finding the answers before their opponents do. The first player to earn 1000 points is the winner, and goes on to play in the Championship Round.</p>
<p><strong><em>Rules of this computer edition are:</em></strong>  </p>
<p>In <strong>Main Game Round One</strong>, a question is asked and a gameboard appears. Players must buzz in once they have located the correct answer on the gameboard. Players buzz in by pressing certain keys on keyboard.</p>
<p>In <strong>Main Game Round Two</strong>, a new gameboard appears and the point values are doubled. Round Two is played the same as Round One. </p>
<p>To locate an answer on the gameboard each player should:   </p>
<p>a. Use arrow keys to move the pointer up or down to the correct row and press the Space Bar to confirm;   </p>
<p>b. Use arrow keys to move the cursor across the columns to the first letter of the answer word and press the Space Bar to confirm.   </p>
<p>c. Use arrow keys to move the cursor across the word and press the Space Bar on the last letter.   </p>
<p>d. Correct any mistake and reset the row or column, pressing Backspace. This resets the cursor to the top left position on the grid.</p>
<p>The winner of the 1000 points in the Main Game Rounds plays the computer in a <strong>Championship Round</strong>.   </p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>A human player may be substituted for the computer if you wish.   </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A category is announced, and a gameboard appears with six hidden answers.   </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The first player to find one of the answers buzzes in and locates it. That player then has 20 seconds to locate the other five words.   </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the player is successful, he/she wins the amount that the board is worth. (The first round is worth $200, the second round is worth $300, all the way up to the fifth round which is worth $600.)   </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the player who buzzed in first cannot find all the answers in time, the other player will be given a chance to find the remaining words and win the money.   </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the second player also cannot find the answers, then the first player wins the money.   </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Play continues until one player wins $1000.   </p>
</li>
<li>

</ol>
<p>The game is available to 1-2 players. Hall of Fame stores all the most successful players.</p>

<p>As Players Software correctly predicted, London in 1995 is an unfriendly unsafe city ran by thugs. Innocent civilians who leave the house will almost certainly face violence. An acclaimed hero since his successes in <a href="/search/?q=5013728001322">the original</a>, Joe Blade is the man to put things right - if he can kill 100 thugs and rescue 20 civilians within ten minutes, the thugs will retreat and the city will be saved.</p>
<p>As Joe, you must move through the streets and kill these thugs, by kicking them in the head (they have body armour). As in the first game, the streets are flick-screen and have many doorways linking them. Rescuing civilians involves touching them before completing a sub-game within a minute.</p>
<p>There are four subgame variants of increasing difficulty, all based around a 1-2-3-4 sequence of numbers. The first involves simply stopping the cursor as each one appears in order - pressing the wrong one sends you back to having to find a 1. In the second, the numbers are on screen in random order, a cursor cycling through them - press fire to swap the two numbers currently highlighted. In the third, you are presented with two jumbled sets and must put one of them in order, by swapping numbers across the two sets. In the fourth, you must form the sequence by swapping an ever-changing number into the right place, by pressing fire at the right moment.</p>

<p>In the simulation of another CBS' TV gameshow with 1,000 questions you can play with a friend or challenge a computer-selected opponent. The gameshow was not aired at the times of game production and released for the first time as pilot in 1996.</p>
<p>The object of the game is to earn the most money in two Matches, rob the Vault and make a safe getaway. Match consists of two Rounds: the Number Seeker and the 
Combination Cracker.</p>
<p><strong>Round 1</strong>: The Number Seeker gameboard consists of 9 boxes, each numbered from 1 to 99. Before selecting a number, players are asked a randomly selected trivia question, with three possible answers. </p>
<p>The first player to select the correct answer gets to choose one of the numbers on the Number Seeker gameboard. (If the first player to answer the question is incorrect, then the second player may answer the question. If both players are incorrect then another question appears.) The first available number is highlighted. The player may highlight another number to display "OPEN," "LOCKED," "CASH" or the "BURGLAR."</p>
<p>If the box reveals:   </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>"LOCKED," the player receives no money and play continues.   </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>"OPEN," the player has found one of the three numbers in the combination of the Vault. The player receives $100 in Match 1 and $150 in Match 2.   </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>"CASH," the player receives $200 in Match 1 and $400 in Match 2.   </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>"BURGLAR," the player loses $200 in Match 1 and $400 in Match 2. If the player does not have that much money, all of the player's money is lost.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Once all three numbers in the combination have been found, Round 1 is over.</p>
<p><strong>Round 2</strong>: The Combination Cracker gameboard consists of 6 boxes containing every possible combination of the numbers revealed in Round 1. The player(s) must answer trivia questions, using the same controls as in Round 1, to earn the chance to try a combination. </p>
<p>The safe will turn to each number of the selected combination. 
If the safe does not open, a buzzer sounds and a new question is asked. If the safe opens, the player earns $400 in Match 1 and $600 in Match 2.</p>
<p><strong>Bonus Round</strong>: The player with the most money at the end of the two Matches enters the Vault. The Vault gameboard consists of 15 boxes numbered between 1 and 99. The selected box will reveal a cash reward or one 
of two BURGLARs.</p>
<p>The player may continue to select numbers as long as there is cash behind them. After each turn, the player is given the chance to make a "getaway." If player evades, all the money earned in the Vault is kept and the game is over, or player may continue selecting numbers. If the player reveals a BURGLAR, however, all of the money won in the Bonus Round is lost and the game is over. If the player uncovers all 13 of the cash prize boxes on the gameboard, all the money is kept and the game is over.</p>
<p>The ten top players of the game are shown in the "MOST WANTED LIST" displayed at the end of each game.</p>

<p>How to best demonstrate the capabilities of your text adventure authoring system (the Master's Edition of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6109/gags-agt-games/">Adventure Game Toolkit</a>) but to port the latest and greatest hit title using it? Well, one outta two ain't bad -- the programmer focused on re-implementing <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Adventure">ADVENTURE</a></em>, the revolutionary mid-'70s faux-fantasy treasure-collecting cave crawl text adventure.</p>
<p>But why ape a project if you can't add anything new to it? <em>ADVENTURE</em> was faithfully reproduced, and then enhanced: starting from the early tally of 350 points, the new content from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=David+Platt">David Platt</a>'s 550-point version was incorporated... and then further subsequent embellishments and expansions added up ultimately to 1000 mighty points of puzzling. (The <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/5707/z-code/">Inform</a> port goes one further, for a "lousy last point" total of 1001.)</p>
<p>An additional bonus challenge to be the first to uncover 10 "secret words" contained in the game was incorporated into this release, initially boasting a cash prize of $100! ... and later left in as an optional, prizeless challenge atop the game's classic hunt for virtual treasures.</p>

<p>A bunch of university kids at MIT (soon to be the guiding lights behind <a href="/search/?q=Infocom">Infocom</a>) played the pioneering cave-crawling treasure-hunting text adventure <a href="/search/?q=ADVENTURE">ADVENTURE</a> and thought "Hey, we can improve on that!" Around June of 1977 they pooled their collected creative juices and cranked out a sassy successor in MDL on a PDP-10. It didn't have a name, so they just used a hacker nonsense word in place of one temporarily -- "Zork."</p>
<p>This game presented the next in a long line of treasure-hunting protagonists with a vast Great Underground Empire to explore -- provided their lantern didn't run out of juice -- and whimsical obstacles among the Flatheadian ruins forced players to employ lateral thinking to collect wondrous treasures worth thousands of zorkmids... and deposit them in the trophy case back aboveground. If this sounds <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8593/zork-trilogy/">familiar</a>, it's no coincidence -- <em>Zork/Dungeon</em> is the primordial clay from which the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/50/zork-the-great-underground-empire/">first</a> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/52/zork-ii-the-wizard-of-frobozz/">three</a> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/53/zork-iii-the-dungeon-master/">games</a> of the Zork series were fashioned, following some extensive refitting of set pieces -- due to the game's <em>enormous</em> size of <em>one megabyte</em>, making it commercially available for home microcomputers, with their limited memory and storage capabilities, was not considered a viable plan in 1979... until they came up with the idea of segmenting the giant dungeon up.</p>
<p>(Ports of this game also exist for VMS, the Acorn Archimedes, and the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/5707/z-code/">Z-code</a>, <a href="/search/?q=TADS">TADS</a> and GLK software platforms.)</p>

<p>The fourth (comparatively little-known) installment in Sierra On-Line's <em>Hoyle</em> series offers a collection of eight popular card games: Bridge, Euchre, Old Maid, Gin Rummy, Hearts, Cribbage, Crazy Eights, and Klondike.</p>
<p>In addition to reading the basic rules for each individual game, players can now access an interface tutorial and a glossary of game-specific terms, as well as customize a range of options.</p>
<p><em>Hoyle Classic Card Games</em> is apparently the last volume in the series to feature animated characters from other Sierra titles.</p>

<p>A new enemy has risen from secret bases throughout the world. Armed with the latest in military technology, Red Ghost is aiming at world domination. You will command eighteen of the world's most elite group of fighting men to stop this threat.</p>
<p>Red Ghost blends the elements of a traditional isometric/top-down strategy game with elements of 3D first-person perspective games. You will use your tactical skills in the overhead stages to plan your attack, however when the battles begin you'll have the ability to commandeer jeeps, tanks, helicopters and ground artillery units for close combat from the first-person perspective. </p>
<p>Red Ghost is one of the early showcases of the CD-ROM format. By taking full advantage of the medium the developers were able to add Silicon Graphics cinematics and CD quality sound effects and music.</p>

<p><em>Tank Commander</em> claims to be a full featured tank war simulator with the latest telemetry and statistics of real battle tanks. However, in many ways it remains an arcade tank game to the core. Tanks move faster than in reality, there are ammunition recharges and other niceties to collect in the field, and the tank is equipped with a radar.</p>
<p>40 international combat zones are featured. The player chooses tank model (T-72, M1 Abrams, Leopard and Challenger are all available) and up to 4 wingmen, and starts blasting enemy forces to pieces. A multiplayer mode via modem or IPX is also offered. There are speech clips from your wingmen.</p>

<p>Softkey's <em>Golf Pro 2000 Downunder</em> combines the familiar gameplay mechanics of the 3-click swing meter - similar to other golf sim titles of the era - with a powerful 3D engine that brings the uniquely Australian countryside to life. There are 5 game modes, 3 skill levels, and a unique feature that randomizes the flag placement for each round.</p>

<p>Lace up those boots soldier, and get ready for five levels of challenging action in this boot camp simulator. As make your way through various levels you'll be given points for doing the right thing and deducted points for any missteps. You can record your attempts and review them, to spot your mistakes and learn from them.</p>
<p>Level one is the Physical course, which requires you to jump over walls, jump trenches and crawl under barbwire. Level two is the Risk course. This one will have you planting dynamite and throwing grenades.</p>
<p>Level three has the player going hand-to-hand in the Combat course. The fourth level combines the previous three levels into one, and finally, the fifth level is a custom "Cobra" course that throws random elements from all the courses at the player.</p>
<p>To give the game replay value, there is a course construction set so that you can make your own levels. The Atari ST and Amiga versions contain digitized sound.</p>

<p>A side-scroller similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7298/super-mario-bros/">Super Mario Bros.</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/146406/miner/">Lode Runner</a>, written by <a href="/search/?q=Ken+Silverman">Ken Silverman</a>. You play as Ken (with a little K on his T-shirt) and must reach the exit to each level, represented by a star. Enemies will fall down from the top of the screen and try to kill you, you can crush them by jumping on them. You must also avoid other dangers such as flames. You can collect green gems for bonus points. You complete the level when you touch the star at the end. Contains 4-bit EGA graphics, smooth scrolling and animation, and mouse/keyboard support.</p>

<p>In the age of King Arthur and his Round Table, Merlin and the king send out a call for a new knight to join the court. The player's character takes up the challenge to prove himself worthy of the honor, and ultimately must scour the kingdom in search of Excalibur and the Black Knight whose Dwarf minions have stolen it. There are hidden treasure troves, teleports and special items to be found as well.</p>
<p><em>Last Knight at Camelot</em> is a side-scrolling platformer somewhat in the tradition of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/154/epic-games-inc/">Epic MegaGame's</a> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/120/jill-of-the-jungle-series/">Jill of the Jungle</a> series; the player has no weapons, however, and must either avoid enemies completely or jump on them to defeat them. The keyboard's four arrow keys move the knight left and right, enable him to look up and down, climb up and down, move switches and enter doorways; the shift key makes him jump.</p>

<p>Louie, an expert in martial arts, must save his master from the grip of a local gang called Martial Arts Posse. Battle your way through several parts of the city using all your fighting skills to defeat members of the Martial Arts Posse, working your way to the final confrontation with the leader of the gang.</p>

<p>Captain Klondike's ship has crash-landed on an unknown asteroid. He must find a way to collect fuel for his ship, looking for treasure and adventure along the way. Collect coins, gems, and power-ups. Battle strange creatures. Avoid traps and solve puzzles. It all leads to the final confrontation with the mysterious G.O.R.G. as you journey though lush alien worlds and over 30 levels in this side scrolling jump n' shoot platformer. Features complete soundtrack, 3 skill levels and animated story and epilogue sequences.</p>

<p>In this puzzle board game you should swap the tiles to make the sequence of tiles of the same color to eliminate them.
Shape of tiles varies from big and small squares to triangles or hexagons. If tiles have no neighbor tiles you may take appropriate tiles from the pocket of the limited size to eliminate the rest of the tiles. Finishing the level, player will be transferred to the higher level if the results of the current level were high enough for such level. But to finish level successfully, player should acquire the certain number of points and to be qualified for the next level. The difficulty also raises and depends on quantity of colours, the shape of the tiles, and time limit presence. Undo moves are also present, but such moves decrease your final results. Game may be saved in progress and loaded later. </p>
<p>Best scores and levels will be written in High Score Table.</p>

<p><em>The sinister wizard Mordimar, having come into possession of the powerful magical artifact the Orb of Destiny, is slowly sapping the life-force from the forests of Blarg. Your goal: to retrieve the Orb, for the sake of the blighted woods!</em></p>
<p>Author <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/229150/paul-allen-panks/">Paul Panks</a> is known in IF circles for having settled on an early form of the text adventure (perhaps that contemporary to the game's maybe namesake, the IBM Personal Computer XT?) as the pure, classic ideal to be visited and revisited in permutations of his many experiments, unhindered by modern developments in interactive fiction authoring systems, advances in game design, and even improvements on primitive dialects of BASIC, his apparent development environment of choice.</p>
<p>In most of them, sparse locations, mute NPCs and to-the-death monsters turn up in predictable (classic?) configurations, fortified with occasionally inspired, occasionally jarring train-wreck often-anachronistic mashups of cognitive dissonance -- here special unlicensed cameo appearances from Gargamel, Azrael and several <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Smurf+games">Smurfs</a>... also rising to North American fame in a period roughly contemporary to the IBM XT.</p>

<p>Arguably boasting the most intriguing premise of any <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/229150/paul-allen-panks/">Paul Panks</a> game, <em>Ghost of the Fireflies</em> sees the player initially directing the actions of Camphora, a phantom beetle, through the environs of Atsuta Jingū... plotting revenge against Sugawara no Michizane for reasons not initially clear. Navigating this tricky scenario is achieved with the assistance of Raiythius, a sassy Zen hellhound sidekick with a penchant for conveying enlightenment through physical pain and micturition.</p>
<p>While the setting of this text adventure is quite explicitly and thoroughly <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Japanese+Heian+Period">Japanese</a>, the game boasts even stranger cameo appearances than previous Panks games, including a suffering <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/22832/jesus-of-nazareth/">Jesus of Nazareth</a> at the start screen, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bruce+Lee">Bruce Lee</a> as the shopkeeper (with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14111/the-karate-kid/">Mr. Miyagi</a> in the eaves) and founding father Ben Franklin, murdered for cheating in a gambling game with Wyatt Earp and his posse at the Oibara Inn. All this plus the game's author himself (hinting at some bizarre post-modern denouement) as the frontman for the house band the Singing Nobunagas!</p>
<p>The gameplay is largely a matter of roving between areas picking up that which is not nailed down and killing that which can be overcome through physical combat (but now nearly featuring -- see trivia -- an alchemical magic system of sorts).</p>

<p>The story of <em>Tun Town</em> takes place in the small town of the same name. The student LeLe returns to Tun Town during the summer holidays. He discovers that there is a war going on between dogs and cats. Under leadership of the Cat King, the cats have defeated the dogs. LeLe and his friends unite the dogs and beat Cat King to bring back peace to the town. But the gangs in the big cities also want control over the town. Lele, his dog friends, Cat King and the cats form an alliance to fight and defend their hometown.</p>
<p><em>Tun Town</em> is a Chinese-made role-playing game. The gameplay system is similar to that of Japanese-style RPGs, with party management, simple turn-based battles, and automatic leveling up. It is possible to collect parts to build different kinds of weapons in the game. The visuals are cartoon-like, and the plot has humorous elements.</p>

<p>There are forty cards displayed face down on the screen. Each turn the player flips two cards. When the symbols on the cards are the same, the player earns a point and flips another two cards. When the symbols are different, then the next player may flip two cards. The game ends when all pairs are found. The player with the most number of points is the winner.</p>

<p><em>Milo: the Fuel Run</em> is a side scrolling platform game with you being a skater trying to save the world's supply of the chocolate malted beverage Milo. You must skate/jump/grind through various levels collecting tins of Milo, stomping bad guys and finding new tricks in order to reach the end of each stage, many of which have a boss. Can <em>you</em> stop the evil doctor and his dastardly evil plan to steal all the Milo in the world?</p>
<p>Powerups you can find:
- Skateboard - collecting this earns you a extra life.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Milo tin - collect these to increase your health.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>1st ollie - allows you to jump high on your skateboard.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>2nd ollie - allows for a even bigger groovy ollie then before</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>tricks+grinds - allows grinding on certain objects to avoid damage.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Flips - allows you to flip your board and (possibly?) deal more damage to bad guys</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p>Vier op een rij (Connect Four in English) is a two-player board game. In each turn a player drops a disc into a seven-column, five-row vertically-suspended grid. The first player who gets four of her own discs in a line wins. The line can be vertically, horizontally or diagonally.</p>

<p><em>Space Battles</em> contains four different games on one disk:<em> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/34848/spacewar/">Space War</a></em> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/58081/out-on-a-lem/">Moon Lander</a><em> </em>Meteor Shower*: In this game numerous meteors are falling! Your goal is to guide your character and collect as many of the pieces of the scene as you can. When a meteor falls it will remove any pieces of the scene that happen to be in its way causing you to lose points. If you collect a piece before it's destroyed by a meteor you gain points. If you are hit by a falling meteor then you lose a life. The goal is to earn as many points as possible. One to four players can compete for the highest score.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Space Zombies</em>: In this game your goal is to earn as many points as possible by collecting dots on the screen. Four opponents bounce and wander around the screen; if you get caught a life is lost, and the game ends when all players have lost all their lives. One to four players take turns playing the game and compete for the highest score.</li>
</ul>

<p>This tennis simulation followed up <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Simulmondo">Simulmundo</a>'s <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9595/3d-world-boxing/">3D World Boxing</a>, while <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/115050/3d-world-soccer/">3D World Soccer</a> was the final game in the series. There is some sports management involved as the player you choose (from pre-built selection or from your own creation) can improve his skills (forehand, backhand, serve, volley, etc.) as he wins matches and prize money and moves up in the rankings. </p>
<p>There's 4 different play options: Singles Match, Singles Tournament, Grand Slam, and ATP Tour. You must be qualified to play for the last two options based on your current ranking. Beating opponents ranked higher will move your own ranking higher more quickly.</p>
<p>The playing view is directly from behind the player but as you approach the net it is scaled to always be appropriate for what the player would see from that vantage point. The players are viewed in large well-animated forms and even the backgrounds of crowd scenes are also animated. At the bottom of the screen there are player's photos and ability bar graphs as well as a small overhead view of the player's positions on the court.</p>

<p><em>Adventure Games: 5 CD-ROM Collection</em> is a compilation of five previously released games which run in either MS-DOS or Windows 3.1 (depending on the requirements of their original release).

<p><em>5-Letter-Kruiswoord</em> (5-letter-crossword in English) is a game in which the player solves a crossword that consists of only 5 letter words. The player can at any time check whether the answers he/she has given are correct. For every letter that is not filled in, the player gets 1 point. For every letter that is filled in wrong, the player gets 3 points. When the player does not know an answer, they can ask the computer for the right answer, but she will get 25 points. The objective of the game is to fill in the whole crossword with the right answers and get as few points as possible.</p>

<p><em>Offensive</em> is an RTS/Wargame, that put you at the battlefields of World War 2. As an axis or allies commander, play through 20 various scenarios, from Normandy invasion to the capture of Berlin. Control 15 different types of units, including armor, tanks, trucks, guns and infantry.</p>
<p>Game uses isometric graphic engine with three levels of zoom, where you can view map from different angles.</p>

<p><em>Electronic Popple</em> is an action/puzzle game. Play as MIN or MAX, two chips who must journey through six levels of a large computer to eventually defeat the evil Overclock King. Two players can play simultaneously. The game is similar in concept to fighting games such as <a href="/search/?q=Double+Dragon">Double Dragon</a>. Players can walk, run, and jump to move around.</p>
<p>The fighting is of the "combo-move" style, where the faster that a player can attack, the more hits they can achieve. The characters have a lot of attack moves: the "tread attack", "gathering power attack", "jump attack", "running attack", "running jump attack", "death blow attack", and "catching attack".</p>
<p>Players must fight against computer components, such as fans, resistors, capacitors, batteries, and floppy disks. Later levels include monitors, screws, and nuts. These later characters have many more hit points and some have special powers, such as the ability of screws to replicate and turn into mines, or the nuts which can roll across the screen very quickly. Some enemies have different attacking styles, which must be mastered in order to defeat them.</p>
<p>Defeated enemies drop special items that can be useful to the player, such as heath restoring or speed punch. Sometimes enemies drop "popple". Popple is the "energy" that has turned all of the components into enemies. However, when the character absorbs the popple, the character becomes stronger. Once a character absorbs enough popple, the character increases in hit-points and fighting power.</p>
<p>The levels are presented in isometric 3D, and the graphics have a cartoonish look, with some very humourous animations (such as the monitors, which look upwards and whistle innocently when a player is facing them, but advance in tip-toe steps and then jump on the player from behind).</p>
<p>Along the way, players must defeat minor bosses, such as "Die HDD" and "Megatron", and there are in-game cut-scenes where friendly characters are introduced and whose dialogue advances the plot or provides hints.</p>
<p>There are telephone boxes at various places through the game, which allows the player to save the state, provided that the phone card has been found first. However, upon reloading the level, all enemies will be resurrected each time, which can lead to some frantic play.</p>

<p><em>Big Rig</em> is a simulation that lets you experience the life of a long-distance trucker. Your task is to safely drive a 18-wheel tractor-trailer combination from coast to coast in time, trying to make a profitable trip.</p>
<p>The gameplay and user interface are pretty basic. The game is played in text mode only, with your choice made by typing the right letter at the prompt. At the beginning of your trip, you can choose between three types of cargo (with or without time limit, perishable or not) and three routes -- each with different characteristics, like length or chances for bad weather etc. After these preliminaries, you begin your trip.</p>
<p>Gameplay is turnwise. At each turn, you choose your travelling speed (go too fast, and you may be stopped by the police -- too slow and you may not arrive in time). You’ll have to keep an eye on your fitness and your gasometer – driving tired can result in deadly accidents, and running out of gas will cost you time and money. Gas and sleep can be replenished at truck stops.</p>
<p>You’ll also be slowed down by roadworks, flat tires, accidents, traffic jams, bad weather -- all those little things that make trucking fun! To get to New York in time, you’ll need strategical planning, and a small amount of luck, too. And you'll get to learn a bit about the daily chores of your average trucker.</p>

<p>Based on the 1987 movie of the same name, Patrolman Alex Murphy was killed on the streets of Detroit. The major corporation there, Omni Consumer Products (OCP) saw an opportunity to sell a new kind of law enforcement officer to the troubled city. They took what was left of Murphy, encased it in titanium armor, wiped his memory and created RoboCop. Now it's up to RoboCop to clean the streets of Detroit and eliminate the one responsible for his murder, Clarence Boddicker. But it looks like Clarence might not be the kingpin of this town...</p>
<p>Ocean's version of <em>RoboCop</em> for 8-bit machines loosely adapts the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1409/robocop/">Data East arcade game</a>, with stages inspired by those from the coin-op, but also entirely new gameplay elements.</p>
<p>In most levels, RoboCop walks from left to right, shooting his gun at hordes of enemies that intend to kill him with bullets, chainsaws or their fists. Stages include the streets of Detroit (in two parts, based on the first level of the arcade), a drug factory (based on the fourth arcade level), and a junkyard (based on the third coin-op stage). Gun power-ups to collect include a rapid fire model, a three-way shot and a powerful flame cannon. Two levels end with boss fights against RoboCop's chief adversary ED-209. For some reason, ED is impervious to bullets and must be defeated using Robo's fists alone.</p>
<p>New challenges from the arcade include hostage scenarios: in these, seen from a first-person perspective, a criminal holds an innocent person. Moving crosshairs and firing precisely, RoboCop must take care to shoot only the criminal, not the civilian.</p>
<p>Another new game element requires some quick thinking: in a puzzle mode, a composite sketch of a suspect is presented and must be matched by choosing the correct parts (hair, chin, eyes, etc.) of the face within a tight time limit.</p>

<p><em>Bram Stoker's Dracula</em> is loosely based on the 1992 film of the same name. The player controls a young lawyer named Jonathan Harker, who must track down Dracula and end his reign of terror. </p>
<p>Unlike the several side-scrolling adaptions of the movie for console systems, this one is a first-person action game. Each stage (three large locations: the cemetery, Carfax Abbey, the castle) follows the same basic formula: Harker has to explore maze-like dungeons and purify all coffins with holy wafers, followed by a boss fight against Dracula in his many forms.
Those coffins are also the spots where the killed monsters constantly reappear, as long as they are unholy. Harker has to get rid of the hostile undead by using his knife and gun (mouse is used for aiming). Additional bullets and food (healing) are spread out over the levels ready to be picked up.</p>
<p>To reach all coffins and holy wafers, Harker also has to solve basic puzzles which boil down to finding keys and using levers, pressure plates, teleporters and rotating portals. Level maps are tile-based; similar to most first-person role-playing games of the time.</p>

<p><em>Spore</em> is the hitherto unimagined mash-up of two seemingly irreconcilable and disparate video game genres: the text adventure game and the paddle-and-ball game. The player controls a space ranger of sorts who's been sent to Earth's colony planet, Spore, to investigate a distress signal sent from the now apparently deserted outpost. This barren landscape is navigated according to the standard conventions of homebrew interactive fiction: movement is dictated according to compass points and various inventory items are acquired to employ in the overcoming of small puzzles.</p>
<p>Punctuating the landscape, however, are a series of shimmering, radiant pillars made of energy. Entering into them kicks the game into its Mr. Hyde mode, a workmanlike <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> clone. Events on the text adventure stage are influenced by success at the Breakout levels, and through traversing all 16 pillars, the adventure reaches its conclusion.</p>

<p><em>DOSMINE</em> is an unusual step backwards -- a porting of the Windows game <a href="/search/?q=Minesweeper">Minesweeper</a> back to MS-DOS. (But surely you could have guessed that from its name!)</p>
<p>In short, you are presented with a grid field of concealed cels, some of which contain game-ending land mines; those that don't will either vaguely indicate how many mines are cumulatively located in the spaces adjacent, or clear all nearby territory as "safe" until the next mine-abutting cel is reached. The player has the option of flagging a cel as potentially mine-containing or taking a leap of faith, crossing their fingers and stepping on it with their virtual foot. (This is all rendered in extremely abstract textmode.)</p>

<p>Batman Forever is the officially licensed game based on the 1995 movie. The bad guys this time around are The Riddler and Two-Face.</p>
<p>This game is an usual hybrid of side-scrolling platformer and one-on-one fighter. You make your way through levels that include some platform jumping elements, but you typically take on opponents one at a time like in a fighting game. You arsenal includes a lot of nifty bat-gadgets, and a collection of fighting moves that are unleashed with special button combinations.</p>
<p>The graphics were rendered completely with digitized actors and objects, but none of the actors from the movie make an appearance in the game.</p>

<p>21-en is a card game. In the game there are 52 playing cards. An ace is 1 or 11 points, king, queen and jack are 10 points and the cards 2 through 10 are 2 through 10 points. The objective is to get as close as possible to 21 without exceeding 21. Both players start with two cards. Each player may ask as many cards as she likes. The player with the most points without exceeding 21 wins.</p>

<p>In in this altered and expanded port of the original Amiga title,  Earth has always blocked "The Lost Dimension" and now its alien guardian, Vaprak, threatens to annihilate Earth to free its brethren in the dimension.  Special Agent Jim Power has been sent in alone to send Vaprak back into "The Lost Dimension".</p>
<p>Armed with your upgradeable blaster, space ship, and jet pack, you will blast and jump you way across "The Lost Dimension" taking down its inhabitants before any contact from them takes your life.</p>

<p>"Yet another disco armadillo first-person shooter." </p>
<p>After being run over by a car, our hero Armadillo is brought back to life by an evil cyber-genetic company.  He sets out to stop their evil plans in psychedelic 70's era levels when disco was king.  Gather items such as bell bottoms, platform shoes, 8-track players, and lava lamps to keep your shield and funk levels up.  </p>
<p>Rather than guns, you shoot plungers and throw princess wands at various enemies such as flying eyeballs and laughing gas containers. Open doors as you move through each level (of 4 stages each) and find the specific item needed to advance to the next stage. Stoplights hang from the ceiling in certain areas and will drain your health if you pass under them when they are red.  When green, you can pass them with no consequence. There are different special weapons, health (such as crickets and grasshoppers), and shield items in each level. If you run into a Relax laxative box, you will have to find a toilet in 20 seconds or you will die.</p>

<p>The original guitar hero with the Elvis attitude and purple hair pompadour, Johnny Bazookatone, has been imprisoned in the year 2050 in Sin Sin Prison by El Diablo, the Lord of the Underworld, who is jealous of his talent and kidnaps other musical legends as well in this 3D side-scrolling platformer.  Johnny's guitar Anita has been taken from him and he sets out to escape and vanquish foes on his way to be reunited with Anita. </p>
<p>He can perform moves such as 360-degree spin jumps and hover jumps, among others, while using his bazooka guitar as a weapon.  When powered up, it can emit a special sonic blast that fries anything within hearing range. As you make your way through the demonic levels such as Hotel Demonique, Hell's Kitchen, and Mr. Diablo's fiery Penthouse, you can acquire more weapons, power-ups and find secret passages that lead to bonus levels. The game's soundtrack includes the title track contributed by Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora and Tico Torres.</p>

<p>The player must find a Dutch word of twelve letters in a 4 by 4 matrix filled with letters. The letters of the word are connected to each other either horizontal, vertical or diagonal. The longer the player waits with answering, the more letters of the word are shown, but also the less points the player earns.
The game can be played with four players. The winner is the player with the most points after ten rounds.</p>

<p><em>Boter, kaas en eieren</em> (Butter, cheese, and eggs) is the Dutch name for Tic-tac-toe. The game is played by two players who take turns in filling in squares in a 3 by 3 matrix. One player puts in X's and the other player puts in O's. The first player who has three of X's or O's in a row wins. The rows can be horizontal, vertical and diagonal.</p>

<p>The world is in danger again as general Wort has some evil plans with it. Elite soldiers Hank 'Guts' Carter and Stacy 'Garters' Pringle are sent in to stop him and his minions.</p>
<p>Played in a style similar to <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3733/cabal/">Cabal</a></em>, the game has you controlling Guts or Garters by keyboard and mouse. Each level consists of multiple connected static screens (including a boss-confrontation screen) that must be cleared.</p>
<p>Storming soldiers, helicopters, and tanks must be shot, but do not forget to reload your weapon and search for ammo. Once a scene is cleared, search and collect hidden items. Exits by way of arrows then become visible granting you access to the next screen.</p>

<p>In Dobbel the player has five dice and a playing card the with numbers from 5 to 30 on it. The objective of the game is to mark all the numbers on the playing card. This is done by throwing the dice and adding the values on the faces of the dice. For example, when the player throws 1 , 5,  3,  4 and 5 she marks 18 on her playing card if it's not marked yet. Each round the player throws the dice five times. After each throw the player can decide to hold some dice and only throw the remaining dice. When all five dice show the same value, a random number is marked on the playing card.</p>

<p>In <em>Moon Blaster</em> you are a pilot of a ground-skimming space jet landed on the surface of moons to eliminate the enemies blasting them off. There are three kinds of moon - sand, green and ice, and you may visit all or only one of them. Sitting in the cockpit, you may speed up or turn your space jet, and blast off the enemy. Keep an eye on the scanner to see which directions and distances have threats, and watch the shield level - one this reaches zero, a shot will force you to eject. Points are accumulated for shots fired and time survived.</p>

<p>The objective of Nederland (The Netherlands) is to point out as many cities on the map of the Netherlands as possible in 150 seconds. The computer displays the name of a city on the screen and the player has to move her pointer to the location where the city is on the map to get points. After the player has located the city another name of a city is displayed. When the player does not know where a city is located, she can ask the computer to locate the city, but her score will be halved.</p>

<p>Re-released version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23664/hole-in-one-miniature-golf/">Hole-In-One Miniature Golf</a> with 3 more courses. (8 in total. 144 holes).</p>

<p>In Hoofdrekenen (Mental calculating) the player has to do some arithmetic exercises. In 45 seconds the player has to give 10 right answers. When the player has done this, she advanced to the next level with more difficult exercises. The game is over when the player has not solved 10 exercises right in 45 seconds.</p>

<p>In Provincies (Provinces) the computer shows the name of a city in the Netherlands and the player has to tell the computer in which province of the Netherlands the city is located. The player has ten seconds to answer each question. When the player has answered a couple of questions right, the questions get harder and harder. The game ends when the player answered three question wrong.</p>

<p>The character Baron Baldric is quite known among Apogee fans for his appearance in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1882/mystic-towers/">Mystic Towers</a>, but the Baron had earlier appeared in this side-scrolling game. It is considered very rare since the registered version was only sold in the Australian territory.</p>
<p>The story behind <em>Baron Baldric: A Grave Adventure</em> takes place under Castle Pedabouch. You have to search for the family treasures in the tomb: it was told that, centuries before, Baron Baldric's ancestor, Baron Lazarus Pedabouche studied an evil Wolf-Magic and turned into a cruel tyrant: fortunately, when he seized Rosie, a local milk-maid, he was stoned to death by his own subjects. Rosie died too, and was doomed to haunt the whole castle until the ancient baron was slain.</p>
<p>The game is somewhat similar to <a href="/search/?q=Impossible+Mission+2">Impossible Mission 2</a> and the earlier <a href="/search/?q=073000094607">Montezuma's Revenge</a> because of many elements bringing the game far from the action genre. You have to find flints to light lamps when they go out, and regularly eat food to survive the maze.</p>

<p>All TV Satellite dishes have been stolen by a horde of crazed Schnozes. Astronauts were sent to the Moon to retrieve the dishes but have been captured by the villains and are now being forced to take part in bizarre alien rituals. The secret agent Skunny Hardnut is then sent to the Moon rescue the astronauts and retrieve the dishes, equipped with the state of the art Moonbuggy.</p>
<p><em>Skunny: Lost in Space</em> is a rework of <a href="/search/?q=Atari">Atari</a>'s <a href="/search/?q=Moon+Patrol">Moon Patrol</a>. Skunny has to scroll all the way right at each level, firing the Moonboogy's twin lasers against enemies and jumping craters. The Moonbuggy has limited ammo and energy. As he wanders throughout Moon's landscape, he can collect lives, ammo and health items.</p>
<p>The player can choose any of the ten levels to start playing (two in the shareware version). The game features a "smart" save feature, which automatically saves the game if the player exits the level during gameplay.</p>

<p>A cinematic expansion for the original diskette version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3492/star-trek-judgment-rites/">Star Trek: Judgment Rites</a>, <em>Movie &amp; Sound Pack</em> enhances the adventure with over 10 megabytes of added sound effects and new story transition sequences.</p>

<p><em>Abracadabra</em> is another part in <em>Once Upon A Time</em> series and interactive book for kids similar to another part in the series <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Baba+Yaga">Baba Yaga</a>. </p>
<p>Some time have passed since the dragon brought a child to one of the four houses in the kingdom. Child has grown and became a brave guy. One night his parents went out of home for some reason, and evil wizard Satanicus stole the very precious item of your parents. To do not make your parents upset, you decide to return this item.</p>
<p>During the 7 chapters you'll switch between three modes of the game:  </p>
<p>1) Searching an object in first-person view via point and click;  </p>
<p>2) Move through the forest, jumping, ducking, and using a weapon in third-person side view;  </p>
<p>3) Fighting with the one of big bosses in first-person view via point and click.</p>
<p>Three difficulty levels are available. Finishing the game, player may replay the game starting from the one of four certain game parts. The game is available in English, Spanish, German, Italian, and French languages.</p>

<p>Dr. Claw has kidnapped UN members and replaced them with his robots. Your mission is to find and rescue these UN members, who are being held captive around the globe, then return to the UN building to save the world.</p>
<p>This is an adventure game made for children, so its difficulty level is low and the missions' structure is always the same.</p>
<p>The player can choose to play as Penny, Inspector Gadget's niece, or her dog Brain, and will frequently switch characters during the game. Brain is kidnapped early on in the game, but Penny manages to help Brain escape. Penny will be locked away somewhere, and the player must find some of her uncle's gadgets and clues to where she is kept captive. Switching characters again, the player must then disguise himself and rescue Penny. After this the player  rejoins Uncle Gadget, gives him back the gadgets found with Penny and rescues the UN member, using the gadgets, which can be activated through Penny's book.</p>
<p>When this is done for every kidnapped UN member the player can go to stop Claw's plan at the UN building.</p>
<p>The gameplay is the same as a point-and-click adventure interface, the player moves Penny and Brain around and has at his disposal the classic take-look-talk-etc. icons in the bar at the bottom of the screen, plus an icon to switch from Penny to Brain, and another to use Penny's book (which gives access to gadgets and various information).</p>

<p>The player controls the movements of one "Hunting Harry", the sole denizen of a volcano-side village overcome by ghostly Druts, deadly floating apparitions that can only be thwarted by sheltering inside buildings and only dispersed through the application of bombs with timed fuses, of which Harry fortunately has an unlimited supply.  (Too bad there are also an infinite amount of enemies!)  Most of what Harry hunts is fuel tanks, which the Druts have stolen from the village to further their gold-mining activities, and his primary objective is to collect them and return them to the village... though he also scores points for gathering whatever gold he finds (ditto for the new "Beamer" bonus), destroying Druts and simply exploring up and down the ladders of this over-200-screen complex.</p>
<p>In addition to the Druts who pursue to the edge of the screen and kill on contact, Harry is somewhat fragile and loses a man through the smallest tumble off a ledge or through a gap in a platform; also venturing underwater or hanging out near a lava flow for too long will both result in the loss of a life.</p>

<p>The player competes in the exciting agricultural sport of tractor pulling!  In truth the player participation is limited to managing vehicle upgrades with prize money and using their discretion in back-room gambling opportunities -- during the main event, the tractor really takes care of itself.  A day's play is over when the kitty runs dry and you can no longer afford to pay the entry fee to participate in the next competition.</p>

<p>This <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6091/bbs-door-games/">BBS door game</a> has a misleading name: rather, it should be called "See how much you can get away with bugging the SysOp before he wakes up", the SysOp being (for those of you who weren't online at the time) the system operator of a bulletin board service the player remotely dials in to. Often the BBS computer would be running in the SysOp's bedroom, and frequently users would pester the SysOp with the oft-abused (P)age SysOp menu command, which would make his computer beep and chirp to get his attention. <em>What's the emergency? What? You're bored? You want me to install better door games? Well, ok.</em></p>
<p>This is a game played from a BBS's log-off menu, when the user is already on their way offline, and simulates varying levels of harassing a hypothetical and simulated SysOp, for points, with the dire consequence of being kicked offline should the virtual SysOp actually roll over in their simulated slumber and be disturbed. A low-key cyber-Russian Roulette, if you will. Higher-point harassment (choosing the option to call the SysOp's voice line, for instance, or hollering outside their window) bears with it a greater chance of failure and disconnection. High scores are noted, and players can compete among themselves on a call to call basis to see who stays on top.</p>

<p>Urthwurms move differently from earthworms; rather than burrowing through dirt, they seek existing tunnels and are stopped dead in their tracks if they run into an obstacle head-on. But as invertebrates, their simple central nervous system makes them difficult to control, and the player's urthwurm's movements are directed with a single button that adjusts their trajectory through 10 levels of endlessly side-scrolling horizontal tunnel, carelessly littered with blocks strewn across its course. When the button is depressed, the wurm gets a buzz and adjusts its course to counter its downward motion and start heading up; when the button is released, gravity resumes its normal pull -- maintaining a constant course is hence very tricky and the player is much more likely to leave a trail looking something like a sine wave.</p>
<p>In short, this game is a re-make of the Palm classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/48137/sfcave/">SFCave</a>.</p>

<p>This game simulates a dumb terminal intrusion into a remote computer system and navigation of its file system via an MS-DOS-like (DorkSoft's VF-DOS, "the operating system that is more susceptible to a viral attack than any other") command line interface. Players are given free rein to investigate directories, display the contents of classic Usenet tfiles "saved locally", and remotely execute up to six programs per day... all with an eye toward establishing and maintaining a viral infection on the remote system, with some secure files yielding more prestige and higher points when successfully infected. Played in a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6091/bbs-door-games/">BBS door</a> context (already halfway to the game's premise with the players' <em>good</em> behavior on a remote computer) individual players would not only seek out new and uninfected files but also seek to clean and re-infect those burdened with the virii of other players</p>

<p>The player controls a comely purple-haired lady vampire, collecting vials of blood through fifty rooms (ten per level).  A given room can't be traversed until all the blood is collected, the portcullis opening to the next chamber.  The path ahead and upward is not without obstacles however -- the rooms are filled with pushable blocks (get it out of your way -- but not into a place where it will obstruct access to the blood!), spikes that can't be walked on, as well as numerous spooky enemies whose unimpeded line-of-sight gaze is lethal.  To help in traversing some of these hazards, as a vampire the player has a limited amount of transformations at their disposal -- the bat can fly over the spikes and around urns, but has to return to human form in order to collect the vials.  The puzzles become progressively more elaborate as the player advances through the tower, and new properties of blocks and spikes must be factored into the player's careful planning.</p>

<p>This is a rather simple shooting range game simulating what one might find in an amusement park. From the menu you can choose between six different shooting range events such as shooting at moving ducks or shooting at balloons. When you run out of time or bullets you are presented with a prize that corresponds to how well you did on the event, for example a key ring if your aim was really bad.</p>

<p>Othello is a conversion of a known board game, that is played on a 8 by 8 grid. Two players take turns in placing a disc on one of the empty tiles of the playing field. This disc is placed such that at least one of the opponents discs is between two own discs. These trapped discs are then converted to the other players discs. When a player cannot trap an opponent's disc, the player's turn is over. The game ends when there are no empty tiles left. The player with the most discs wins. When one of the players loses all of her discs, the game also ends.</p>

<p>Based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/298191/charles-perrault/">Charles Perrault</a>'s tale, the game is an interactive book for kids and another part in the <em>Once Upon A Time</em> series.</p>
<p>The player can take the role of both Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. Depending on this choice, the game has different objectives.</p>
<p>As Little Red Riding Hood, the player should:
1. gather all items necessary to bring the cake to your Grandmother or find the houses of lost animals in a first-person perspective point-and-click view
2. travel through the forest catching butterflies, or collect the nuts brought by friends, and avoid the wasps in a third-person perspective side view
3. interact with the Wolf and knock him out with a stick in first-person perspective point-and-click view</p>
<p>As the Wolf, the player should:
1. gather all items necessary to go hunting or chase the animals out of their houses in a first-person perspective point-and-click view
2. travel through the forest catching birds or squirrels to eat, and avoid his old foe Raven in a third-person perspective side view
3. interact with Little Red Riding Hood and knock her out with his claws in a first-person perspective point-and-click view</p>
<p>Three difficulty levels are available. After finishing the game, the player can replay the game starting from one of five 'checkpoints'.</p>

<p>The game starts with a green expanse of land, awaiting development.  The player selects different kinds of buildings to erect on the site, which the game instantly builds and automatically connects with roads.  Then, in the two play modes, the player gets to navigate a little car through the lanes and byways, as on a top-town map, trying to situate the car on a map location or at the site of a hidden key described only in cardinal directions (go south!  now south-east!)</p>

<p>In what must be the second-worst job in the Space Corps (just before fertilizing the meat vats), the player controls a little astronaut who's been put on extra-vehicular garbage duty.  Since orbital velocity 300 km up is ten times that of a bullet planetside, intercepting even a small piece of debris is a risky proposition.  Worse, the spaceman is only after one variety of garbage at a time -- all others will hurt and push the player around.</p>
<p>Once the player has snatched enough of the right kind of jetsam, the level is complete and they advance to the next -- much the same, only needing to collect a higher number of a different variety of space trash.</p>

<p>When Tommy talks about "Hollywords" what he means are the names of people associated with Hollywood and some fifty years of film history.  And so for one to six players, he poses you with filmic word-scramblers, mixing up the names of movies and their two lead actors, then leaving you with a short description of the movie and its year of release to help decode the gibberish, unscrambling them by selecting misplaced letters and swapping them back into their correct place.  In early difficulty levels individual words are internally scrambled, while at harder levels entire phrases get scrambled.</p>

<p>Laying down the blueprints for the later <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/28486/bob-saget-killer-2000/">Bob Saget Killer 2000</a></em>, this suite of programs allows the player to inflict damage upon an ANSI profile of some unknown person reviled by Finns, showing the effect of impact after impact of some simulated projectile until the outsides are obscured and all that remains are the gooey insides.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/174766/george-moromisato/">This game's author</a>, all of whose games deal in some fashion with space exploration, felt a certain systemic turn-based pause for reflection to be to the detriment of the wide array of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/7548/star-trek-variants/">starship captain simulators</a> out there in the early '80s. To help convey the stress and prompt the snap decisions needed in an emergency situation, <em>Starship: Invasion</em> was devised as a <em>realtime</em> simulator, of the Excalibur-class starship the H.I.M.S. Stinger.</p>
<p>The typical, limited, options remain the same as in its mainframe-derived BASIC predecessors: firing photon torpedos or phasers, going to warp speed, raising and lowering shields. The display options similarly hold true to their classic roots, largely based on divining your sector neighbors and ship status by decoding numerical displays and interpreting coloured alerts. The player's ship can still recharge ("Trillom" energy reserves) at six friendly StarDocks, which remain targets for an invading force that comes piloting six different varieties of marauding enemy starships. .. just now you get a little less time to plot your next course of action.</p>

<p>This computer coloring book is another part in the <em>Electric Crayon</em> series and it has 26 pictures of different Dinosaurs to color.</p>
<p>Pictures could be colored from a palette of 16 colors. A mix button would "mix" the current color with the 15 other colors and give a total of 256 colors. Choosing a color and clicking in the picture do a color fill in the area clicked. The finished, or in progress, coloring was automatically saved to disk. Player may also remove all colors applied previously to start coloring from the very beginning.</p>
<p>Pictures could be printed with, or without, a monthly calendar, description, message, banner, etc.</p>

<p>Low-rise buildings huddle in a row, perhaps in some Tel Aviv suburb, while fearfully awaiting the flaming death Saddam Hussein's Scud missiles promise to rain down. Patriot ballistic missile defense batteries wait in the eaves, their operators hoping to successfully intercept an incoming Scud before it reaches a target.</p>
<p>This was 1991 in the news, and so in its games also. A topical spin made <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Missile+Command">Missile Command</a> suddenly relevant again, and so its shoot-the-missiles-before-they-deliver-their-payload gameplay was exhumed for another parade around the screen. In this case, your 24 Patriots are controlled by the mouse -- a first click will fire it to a portion of the screen, while a second will cause it to detonate. Firing from the right and left batteries is controlled by choosing to click with the right or left mouse buttons, respectively. The game is over when all the player's buildings have been destroyed... or they may survive long enough to participate in further waves of bombardment, missiles falling more and more quickly.</p>

<p>Serpy is a serpent -- serpent, as in snake, as in... this is a <a href="/search/?q=snake+games">snake game</a>. Gameplay is quite limited as these things go: the player directs Serpy ever onward toward small, randomly appearing particles of what must be food or some other snake-growth stimulant... upon consuming them Serpy extends in length, eventually running the risk of colliding with his own obscenely elongated coils. Barring surrounding walls, no other obstacles litter the playfield; rather this game is one of endurance, seeing for how long the player can neatly navigate the playfield before tripping up over his own snakeskin.</p>

<p><em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/46702/xonix/">XoniX</a></em> games are generally a spin off from Taito's <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3678/qix-variants/">Qix</a></em>, in which the player traces outlines on a flat playfield, avoiding being touched by enemies while vulnerable tracing, and tries to close off complete rectangular portions of the screen. Early versions would "fill in" completely-traced areas with geometric patterns, but sooner or later some cloner would hit on the notion that there are some background images players would find even more pleasant -- here, as you might have guessed by the game's name, what the player gradually reveals are images of attractive women in compromising positions.</p>

<p>This computer coloring book is another part in the Electric Crayon series and it has 30 pictures of different Zoo inhabitants to color.</p>
<p>Each picture has an educational description.</p>

<p>This is a fast and furious shoot-em-up inspired by retro arcade games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/927/tempest-2000/">Tempest 2000</a> from Atari.</p>
<p>You control a ship on a small square grid. Enemy robots are thrown onto the grid by a drone emitter. The robot drones are initially not too difficult to deal with as the only danger is in colliding with them. But as increasing numbers of drones start bouncing around the playing area it becomes increasingly difficult to keep your ship safe.</p>
<p>You are aided in your attempts by the ships invaluable quad directional auto cannon. The game play is unique in that moving and firing is independently controlled by four keys each. This takes some getting used to, but results in intense action once mastered.</p>
<p>The concept is simple. Kill more robots to score more points and earn a place in the high score list.</p>

<p>The computer is thinking of one of 5462 words, and you get to guess it, one letter at a time. One to five players get so many incorrect guesses (of letters not contained in the unknown word) before the game "kills" them and moves on to a new word. Meanwhile, for every incorrect guess, a portion of a scaffold is erected menacingly on your screen. This is an implementation of that simple game known as "hangman", but computerized, and <em>en Français</em>.</p>

<p>This computer coloring book is another part in the <em>Electric Crayon</em> series and it has 29 pictures of different Super Mario Bros<code>and their friends</code> occupations to color.</p>
<p>Each picture has an educational description of the occupation, such as who the waitress, scientist, lawyer, or racer, etc., are to choose when player grow up.</p>
<p>Several pictures have animation sequences.</p>

Electric Crayon Deluxe: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: World Tour

<p>This computer coloring book is another part in the <em>Electric Crayon</em> series and it has 30 pictures of different world places, such as Kremlin, Redwood, Taj Mahal, Fuji, Alps, etc., with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to color.</p>
<p>Pictures could be colored from a palette of 16 colors. Choosing a color and clicking in the picture do a color fill in the area clicked. The finished, or in progress, coloring was automatically saved to disk. Player may also remove all colors applied previously to start coloring from the very beginning.</p>
<p>Each picture has an educative description and could be printed.</p>

<p>The Princess Lorri has been abducted by anonymous parties to some similarly unknown location. Which throne is she heir to? King Altheon, her father, has the answer to that question, and it is to him that your adventurer must go in order to take up the mission of her rescue and restore hope to the land.</p>
<p>The fantasy land in question, the royal realm of Lorrinitron, bears a lot in common with Lord British's Britannia, and the layout and interface of this game must bear a more than coincidental similarity to those of early <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/88/ultima-series/">Ultima</a> games.</p>

<p>Like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/26220/dasi/">DaSi</a> before it (and in a similar vein to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13611/taboo-the-sixth-sense/">Taboo</a> before both), <em>PF</em> simulates a spirit board (or <em>Ouija board</em>) for users to entertain themselves with, presenting alternating possibilities of tapping into their subconscious or having their planchette (well, mouse) movements actually propelled by forces from beyond, answering typed questions by spelling out possible responses letter by letter. Upon the completion of a session, the activities are logged and can be edited for clarity. No guarantees are made of ghosts in the machine.</p>

<p><em>Wheel of Fortune: Featuring Vanna White</em> is one of a series of games based on the famous TV game show. The goal is to solve a word puzzle by guessing letters. The players take turns spinning a wheel that has designated money amounts in most spaces, but can also bankrupt the player if the wheel lands on the wrong space. A player can guess a letter and if that letter is in the puzzle, those spaces are flipped to reveal the letter and the player earns the cash amount specified by the wheel spin, multiplied by the number of occurrences of the letter. Only English consonants can be guessed -- the 5 English vowels can be purchased using a player's earnings.</p>
<p>This NES edition of the game allows 1, 2, or 3 human players to play against each other. Human players can also elect to play against computer players and at 3 difficulty levels. </p>
<p>The Vanna White Edition differs from previous Wheel of Fortune games on the NES in that it actually bears the likeness of Vanna White. Also, there are avatars for the player contestants, and the wheel animation is different.</p>

<p>This computer coloring book is another part in the <em>Electric Crayon</em> series and it has 30 pictures of different opposites such as Above/Below, Enter/Exit, Short/Long, etc., with famous characters from <em>Sesame Street</em> to color.</p>
<p>Pictures could be printed with or without a monthly calendar, description, or message.</p>

<p>Inspired by the famous 1986 film, <em>Top Gun: Danger Zone</em> is a desert dogfighting air combat simulation set on board an aircraft carrier (the USS Brigham) patrolling the waters off Libya and the Middle East. You have a choice of two aircraft - the F-14 Tomcat (in which you also get a Radar Intercept officer to assist you) and an F-18 Hornet (where you'll fly solo). </p>
<p>The choice of missions is limited to eight - intercept, escort, clear airspace, provide air support and run interference. However, you also get to participate in the "Top Gun Challenge Board" in the Officer's Mess, where you challenge 12 other fellow pilots in simulated one-to-one dogfights to practice your skills, get their respect and increase your ranking. You also have a choice of playing against the CPU or against another human player in split-screen mode. </p>
<p>The flight model is not completely realistic - but it is not ridiculous, as in many other games (even today). The game aims to have an arcade-style simplicity for the flying, and adds character development similar to many RPGs.</p>

<p><em>Twin Dragon</em> was one of two authorized add-on packs for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/387/shadow-warrior/">Shadow Warrior</a> that were canceled during development and later released as freeware.</p>
<p>It features a completely new single player episode consisting of 13 levels, three new Wang-Bang levels and more.</p>
<p>Lo Wang also had a twin brother, Hung Lo. Because his mother was unwed, she was forced to put both up for adoption. Lo Wang was sent to a family with a good heart, whilst Hung Lo was adopted by an evil overlord.</p>
<p>As can be expected, Hung Lo did many evil deeds because the evil overlord taught him the dark ways of ninja fighting. Now Lo Wang is up to the task to battle through Hung Lo's evil fortress and face his twin brother.</p>

<p>This computer coloring book is another part in the <em>Electric Crayon</em> series and it has 30 pictures of different Zoo inhabitants to color.</p>

<p>The objective of <em>Kruiswoord</em> (Crossword) is to fill in the entire crossword with Dutch words. The player can ask the computer to check whether the filled in words are right or not. For every letter that is not filled in, the player gets one hit point. For every letter that is filled in wrong, the player gets three hit points. When the player does not know a word, she can ask the computer to fill in the right word. This costs 25 hit points. When the whole puzzle is filled in right, the game ends. The player should get the least amount of hit points as possible.</p>

<p>The game tries to represent the African part of the 11th Paris-Dakar rally route, which in the game takes place in Tunisia, Algeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Senegal in 1988-1989.</p>
<p>Controlling their car from a behind view, the player should drive through the marked path in Sahara. When a player loses their way, they may be in the sands alone and start to skid. In this situation, they may switch between the 4x4 and 4x2 modes of the car. These modes have their own opportunities and misses. The speed is limited to 87 in 4x4 mode and limited by the car's parameters in 4x2 mode. But in 4x4 mode path marks may stop the car, while in 4x2 mode the car may knock the path parks off. Switching the gear, the player may drive back and forth to avoid blocking the car either by path mark or by debris in the sand. The direction of the way is shown by compass as well as the length of traversed path and volume of residuary fuel are displayed by indicators.</p>
<p>Other drivers are present on the way, day and night, therefore they should be left behind to win in the rally. There are five stages with different visible horizons:  </p>
<p>1) Tunis - In Salah (5726 Km);   </p>
<p>2) Ouallene - Achegour (4353 Km);   </p>
<p>3) Achegour - Niamey (4587 Km);   </p>
<p>4) Ouagadougou - Bamako (4438 Km);   </p>
<p>5) Bamako - Dakar (3622 Km).</p>
<p>So, you have to conquer the sands of Sahara, show good time on each stage, and be the first at the finish.</p>

<p><em>Le Maître des Âmes</em> is a fantasy role-playing game. The game will lead you through dungeons, secret chambers, tunnels...
It tends to respect as much as possible the basic rules of famous RPG games.</p>
<p>At the beginning you have to create a party of 4 characters among 6 different ones: Warrior, Wizard, Cleric, Robber, Dwarf &amp; Elf. Each one has special skills and attributes.</p>
<p>The whole story takes place in a castle. Kharram Akkad, Royal wizard, was on the verge of making a big discovery but then vanished mysteriously. Since then, a huge storm has surrounded the place making all life disappear. A party of adventurers standing in front of the fortress decide to enter...</p>

<p><em>Great Napoleonic Battles</em> is a turn-based hex wargame which not only allows players to play three epic battles from the Napoleonic Wars but also includes a construction kit to re-create any land-based battle of the Napoleonic period. </p>
<p>It consists of four programs: a 'Battle' program to play scenarios; a 'Mapmaker' to customise or create new maps; a 'Menmaker to create or modify units and pieces used in the battles; and a 'Warmaker' to modify rules, objectives and conditions of combat.</p>
<p>The game comes with three ready-made scenarios - the battles of Marengo and Waterloo, where you play the French, and the battle of Quatre Bras where you play the British. Players can choose to play either side in a user-created scenario, or create two-player scenarios.</p>

<p>'The Charge of the Light Brigade' recreates the battle of Balaclava in 1854 during the Crimean War, when 25,000 Russian troops attempted to take control of this strategically important area from the outnumbered allied British, French and Turkish forces.  </p>
<p>This is a real-time strategy game and the player can change the speed at which the battle progresses. You can play either the Allies or the Russians, and choose either a computer opponent or play against another human player. </p>
<p>Orders can be given in two modes - 'Unit Mode' where you can give orders to individual units or 'Group Mode', where you can give orders to groups of up to 8 units. Units are represented in the game as animated soldier miniatures, allowing you to select and change groups to five different types of line, column and square formations.</p>

<p>This game recreates the battle in 1879 where a British outpost at Rorke's Drift manned by 137 men managed to repel an attack by force of over 4,000 Zulu warriors.</p>
<p>This is a real-time strategy game where the player can pause the game and issue orders during a command mode, after which the orders are carried out and the battle progresses. You can only play as the British and two scenarios are available - one where the Zulus will attack according to the historical Order of Battle and deployment, and the other where the Zulus vary their strategy of attack.</p>
<p>Individual troops are represented in the game as animated soldier miniatures, with the player being able to move individual soldiers, resolve individual hand-to-hand combat situations and order a variety of different firing positions for each soldier.</p>

<p>The game uses the name of genuine cricketer and adheres to the <em>one-day cricket</em> 1991 rules interpreted by developers for the guidance.</p>
<p>Contested by two teams of eleven players each, cricket is a very technical bat-and-ball game played on a grass oval-shaped field, in the centre of which are a flat strip of ground, called a cricket pitch, and two wooden wickets placed at each end of the pitch. </p>
<p>The <em>bowler</em>, a player from the fielding team, bowls a hard, fist-sized cricket ball from the vicinity of one wicket towards the other. The ball usually bounces once before reaching the <em>batsman</em>, a player from the opposing team. In defence of the wicket, the batsman plays the ball with a wooden cricket bat. Meanwhile, the other members of the bowler's team stand in various positions around the field as fielders, players who retrieve the ball in an effort to stop the batsman scoring runs, and if possible to get him or her out. The batsman — if he or she does not get out — may run between the wickets, exchanging ends with a second batsman (the "non-striker"), who has been waiting near the bowler's wicket. Each completed exchange of ends scores one run. Runs are also scored if the batsman hits the ball to the boundary of the playing area. The match is won by the team that scores more runs.</p>
<p>Choosing between a bowler, or a batsman, game player defines the role of its team. During the match game player may control all his team players, nearest to the ball to achieve the main goal. Power, direction, and the moment should be used properly to achieve it more successfully. </p>
<p>Eight countries (England, New Zealand, Australia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, India, West Indies, and Pakistan) are available to select and game player/players may be appointed either to CPU, which has a three difficulty levels, or to human.</p>

<p>The player controls a snake at the bottom of the screen, attempting to reach a goal at the top of the screen within a time limit.  This snake can travel in one direction at a time, and must continue uninterrupted until it encounters an obstacle, at which point it has the option of changing its direction.  Fortunately, the screen is randomly littered with scattered red blocks, and gameplay largely consists of plotting a continuous course along the contours of these blocks.  Subsequent (infinite) levels (with a bonus challenge round every 10) incorporate differently-coloured blocks, which modify gameplay in various ways -- altering the time remaining positively or negatively, teleporting the snake to a random location, becoming a necessary checkpoint en route to the gate, or just terminating the snake.  (Typically the snake will die only upon reaching the time limit or being trapped in an enclosed space by its own tail, which gets longer (unlike the goal, which gets shorter) and more in the way with every level successfully completed.)</p>

<p>This game, as with the later <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/31104/shades-of-doom/">Shades of Doom</a> allows the player to navigate and fight a path through an enemy-filled maze as one might in a FPS... except solely through the use of directional audio cues to determine the relative location of obstacles and hazards.</p>

<p>Move over, <em><a href="/search/?q=Pong">Pong</a></em>, there's a new paddle game in town... and it boasts a whole other dimension! While the basic gameplay dynamics are as we've come to know and love (use your paddle to bounce the ball past your opponent's goal line), rather than manipulating the paddle along a single axis and bouncing the ball on a flat, 2D shufflepuck or air hockey surface, the paddles now move along two axes (the player adopting the vantage directly behind his own paddle) and volley the ball through a rectangular 3D court, bouncing not only off walls but the floor and ceiling also! First to 10 wins.</p>

<p>Two players control Fred and Greg, in a coy dance of that classic video game theme: sodomy.  Players 1 and 2 take turns chasing each other around a barren 2D playfield (use your imagination: prison?  a public washroom?  private school?  choir practice?) attempting to symbolically penetrate each other via their priapic avatars.  The excited, active player gets points for penetrating the rear of the other, while the "bottom" attempts to evade the attentions of his thorny companion.  Every minute and 45 seconds, the roles switch.</p>

<p>Based on sportscar and Paris-Dakar racer René Metge and his Porsche 944 Turbo, <em>Turbo Cup</em> is a racing game viewed from above and behind the car, in a forced perspective. Instead of the sand of the Dakar race, the game features four conventional French racetracks - Paul Ricard, Nogaro, Magny-Cours and Dijon-Prenois. </p>
<p>After completing a qualifying lap you race against 21 similar cars. Contact with cars from behind causes you to spin but does not affect your rival, although side-on contact is usually beneficial. There are hazards off the track to avoid, and hitting the grass at speed causes a spin.</p>

<p>The game is a very improved version of <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/sublogic">SubLOGIC</a>'s <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1856/jet/">Jet</a>.</p>
<p>Improvements is made for overall speed, flight characteristics, higher precision calculations, smooth zooming, game menu, video modes support, and system functions. Mouse control and landing gear was added. </p>
<p>This time, game may be loaded via scenery files (no longer only scenery disks). Scenery disks of previous versions of the game may be converted to the files of new format also.</p>
<p>New 10-minute demonstration includes sample aerobatics, target strike simulation, parachute ejection, positioned text messages as demo progresses, and sampling scenes from the best of scenery disks. Demo scenery is also available for free flight mode.</p>

<p><em>LA Law: The Computer Game</em> casts the player as one of three characters from the American television show that aired from 1986 - 1994: attorneys Jonathan Rollins, Abbey Perkins, or Victor Sifuentes.</p>
<p>The player's goal is to show that his chosen character is worthy of a full partnership in the law firm. The player will point and click through a number of different choices, from collecting information and evidence to decisions about his opening statement. As the player collects useful information and advice it is added to a case file that can be referred to throughout the game. The game is separated into different cases, starting from "The Wrathful Race" case, where the player must prove his client's innocence in a car accident. There is limited time to prepare each case before taking it into court and every choice takes time in the game, so the player must be well prepared.</p>
<p>When the player feels he is ready to go to trial, he can take the case to court. During the courtroom sequence there are many different choices to be made such as which witnesses to question, when to make objections, requests for recess, etc., and the final judgement can change depending on how good the player's arguments or choices in pre-trial preparation were. Winning every case gains the player senior partnership in the L. A. Law firm.</p>

<p><em>Iron Blood</em> is a side-scrolling action game where the player is given the opportunity to control two different robots through a futuristic society. Each robot has different weapons, different levels, and a different look.</p>
<p>The levels range from standard side-scrolling ones where the player moves from one side of the screen to the other, fighting the enemy robots that get in the their way, to auto-scrolling flight levels where the player must move quickly and shoot down attackers. There are numerous bosses to face along the way.</p>

<p>Despite being published by the same company and sharing the same title, <em>Santa's Xmas Caper</em> on the Amiga is different from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20480/santas-xmas-caper/">its 8-bit cousins</a>. Instead of a scrolling shoot 'em up, it is a platform game. </p>
<p>While riding on his slide, Santa loses all his pressies. The gifts scattered all across the country, Santa must traverse multiple-scrolling platform-levels collecting them back. When they are all collected, an exit opens granting him access to the next level.
Each level is crowded with spiky pitfalls, slippery platforms and cute-looking but nasty baddies. By throwing snowballs, the baddies can be stunned for a short while.
Complete all seven levels and Christmas will be saved.</p>

<p>This computer coloring book is another part in the <em>Electric Crayon</em> series and it has 30 pictures featuring 1-10 numbers. Each picture includes the number of certain items, this number as digit written in some way and this number written as word (for example, three rabbits in the three magic hats or ten bones for a dog) with famous characters from <em>Sesame Street</em> to color.</p>
<p>In Amiga version pictures could be colored from a palette of 24 colors and with mix gives a total of 576 colors. Voices are also present in this version.</p>

<p>This computer coloring book is another part in the <em>Electric Crayon</em> series and it has about 30 pictures featuring Latin letters. Each picture includes the letter in upper-case and lower-case, and items which begins from this letter or include it within (for example, on "<strong>Aa</strong>" picture <strong>A</strong>pples lie on the ground, <strong>A</strong>irplain flies, certain person moves out the g<strong>a</strong>rb<strong>a</strong>ge c<strong>a</strong>n with the c<strong>a</strong>p on his he<strong>a</strong>d, etc.) with famous characters from <em>Sesame Street</em> to color.</p>

<p><em>Whale's Voyage II: Die Übermacht</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10545/whales-voyage/">Whale's Voyage</a>. The story takes place twenty years after the crew of the spaceship Whale had won a great battle and became heroes, abolishing a powerful dictatorship. Now all of the money has been spent and the only thing the four heroes can do is to start trading again. The first job should be quite simple: just deliver some nuclear material to a foreign planet. There is also some payment in advance. But unfortunately the crew takes too much time for the delivery and so the easy job becomes a deadly task and they become involved in a conspiracy.</p>
<p>This game is similar to its predecessor, being a role-playing game with trading elements. The character creation allows the player to shape four characters, distributing their primary attributes, among which are combat-related stats as well as categories such as rhetorics and humanity. The player also must select a flaw for each character, ranging from bad temper to epilepsy. These flaws may affect the character's future behavior in certain situations: for example, a clumsy character would sometimes drop an object from his inventory. The choice of education background determines the characters's class. The available classes are Soldier, Medic, Monk, Psionian, Biochemist, Bounty Hunter, Electrician, Rhetorician, Pilot, and Cybertechnician. Human or alien race traits are assigned to the characters randomly. </p>
<p>When orbiting a planet, the player-controlled team can refuel, upgrade the ship with better components, or trade goods. Each planet has preference for a specific kind of wares, and the traders would declare it to the party. Unlike the first game, the player is not confined to one star system, though overall there are only nine planets to travel to in the game. Each planet is presented as a separate first-person maze-like environment. As opposed to the first game, exploration graphics are real 3D, with sprites for characters and objects. The interface has also been modified to include mouse control.</p>
<p>Following the main quest involves talking to NPCs and fulfilling their requests, but the player is free to travel to any planet and explore them from the onset. Through traveling itself is automatic, the Whale may be ambushed by hostile ships on the way, participating in turn-based tactical ship combat. Ground combat, on the other hand, proceeds in real time, with a "general attack" option that makes the party attack at once. Like in other RPGs, the heroes earn experience points by killing enemies or solving quests. </p>
<p>This being the second game in the series, events from the first game are referred to and some characters reappear. For example, a woman which will give the heroes a quest appeared in the first game, where she was still a little girl.</p>

<p><em>In the fantasy land of Thurania, Alex, a 8 years-old grandchild of a magician, watches in wonderment as his grandfather teaches him about the talisman, a floating magic stone. Suddenly, their city is invaded by demons. Alex is kidnapped by the cave-dwelling Golans, leaving his slayed grandfather behind. Ten years later, Alex, now a young man, must retrieve the magic stone to defeat the demons that killed his loved ones.</em>
<em>Talisman</em> is a German point-and-click adventure with a fantasy plot. Is has 2D backgrounds and real-time 3D characters, something rare for the time of its release (1995).</p>
<p>Clicking objects and hotspots on the screen opens a scroll with verb icons. This list of verbs is context-sensitive, they change according to the object. Usually it displays a magnifying lens for "look", a hand for "use", and a chest for "take". Some objects have a candle to "ignite", doors have a "open" icon, and so on.</p>
<p>The inventory is always visible at the bottom of the screen. As the number of objects increase, it can be scrolled down with the right-side arrows.</p>
<p>Clicking in one of the characters initiate dialog, with a list of questions at the bottom replacing the inventory temporally. The main character can't move freely on the screen, he only goes from hotspot to hotspot. To make him leave a room, the player has to click on an exit and select the "exit" icon.</p>

<p><em>Magic Maycabs</em> is based on the classic BBC Micro game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/85847/magic-mushrooms/">Magic Mushrooms</a>. However, the player controls a car in this recreated DOS version of the game. The small car needs to zoom around each level collecting every mushroom. Once all the mushrooms for the level have been found, an exit block leads to the next level. </p>
<p>There are various enemies to avoid, some looking like crabs, spiders, and green monsters. They are relatively clever and will follow the car around. There is also a timer for each level just to add an extra challenge. <em>Magic Maycabs</em> also includes a level editor to create custom levels.</p>

<p>Eishockey Manager is a managerial simulator for a team in the German Hockey League. The game contains the real player and team names of that time.</p>
<p>Eishockey Manager allows the player to handle most of the relevant aspects of a hockey team both economic and sport-wise. The user has to trade players, organize the training, handle the team's line-ups and tactics, negotiate contracts with players and sponsors, and expand the team's stadium. </p>
<p>If the player has proven successful he gets the chance to manage the German national team competing in the world championships after the end of a season.</p>
<p>Your team's games can either be watched in a ticker-like text display only, or with animated, prerendered, goal-scenes.</p>
<p>Up to four players can play simultaneously in hot-seat mode.</p>
<p>As opposed to Software 2000's six game soccer manager series, Eishockey Manager remained the only hockey manager ever released by this publisher. Technically Eishockey Manager represents a step between Bundesliga Manager Professional (1991) and Bundesliga Manager Hattrick (1995).</p>

<p><em>Bundesliga Manager</em> is a managerial simulator for a team in the top three German football leagues (Bundesliga, Zweite Liga or Regionalliga). The game contains the real player and team names of that time. The player can handle most of the relevant aspects of a soccer team both economic and sport-wise. The user has to trade players, organize the training, handle the team's line-ups and tactics, negotiate contracts with players and sponsors, and expand the team's stadium.</p>
<p>The player follows his team's games as a small white dot moving horizontally over a green rectangle, simulating a ball moving on a soccer field. Up to four players can play simultaneously in hot-seat mode. <em>Bundesliga Manager</em> was the first title in Software 2000's six game series of football management games.</p>

<p><em>Bubble Crack</em> is a variant of <a href="/search/?q=Bust-A-Move">Bust-A-Move</a>, minus its cute trademarked mascots. Like its inspiration, this game concerns itself for the player aiming and launching (within ten seconds, at which point launch automatically occurs) a coloured sphere up a narrow tunnel, ricocheting appropriately to (ideally) latch on to other spheres of the same colour -- whereupon reaching bunches of three, they disappear. Meanwhile, the "ceiling" periodically lowers (every six shots), gradually pushing each level's default and accumulated mass of bubbles closer to the launcher at the bottom; if they descend past it, the player loses a life and starts the level over again.</p>
<p>Run with a special command-line switch (-s), the game features power-up bubbles with special properties, and new level layouts can be designed solely through the use of a text editor.</p>

<p>Controlling a powerful electromagnet-tipped crane of the junkyard variety, the player has a limited amount of magnetic "energy" at their disposal to use to pick up, re-orient and re-arrange a jumbled pile of railway cars into a sensible sequence (spelling out "Dialog '89", the developer and year of development) with engine at the front and caboose at the rear (a loose caboose, one should note... that will shoot off the end of the screen, rendering the level uncompletable, if unobstructed.)</p>

<p>This rudimentary (single-word command) text adventure takes a frequent game convention -- plunder and carnage -- and places it in the domestic setting of an everyday urban centre.  The task before the player is to run rampant on a brief (8-16 minutes) but intense crime wave (specifically, murders and robberies) and escape the city unapprehended by authorities.  The city, however, has a few anti-social tricks of its own, so watch out!</p>

<p><em>Psion Chess</em> is programmed by Richard Lang, a computer chess champion in the 80s and programmer of some of the most advanced dedicated chess computers of the epoque. The Atari ST version of Psion Chess is said to be a mildly modified version of his "Amsterdam program" which won the 1985 world computer chess championships.</p>
<p>Gamewise, Psion Chess has both 2D and fixed-perspective 3D views of the board, visible both from the black and white sides, a full range of handicaps, move suggestions, solutions for mate problems up to 10 levels, remi offers and most other options a demanding chess player can ask for. A library of 50 master parties is also available for viewing.</p>
<p>The Atari ST version has a ranking of 1960, whereas the Mac version has been rated at 1793 over 80 parties.</p>

<p>Adopting arbitrary plot conventions from both the text and multimedia adventure game genres it builds on, <em>DP</em> casts the player as an modern-day Dutchman somehow (hey, one rarely recalls the precise circumstances leading up to a dream) stranded in a high-tech building where a fancy dinner party is going on: before them, the task of determining where they are, how they got there, and how they're going to return home. Player input and parser output is much according to the text adventure standard, but rather than settling for merely describing the scene in dry words this game also presents a visual representation of each room and its contents not in a separate window, but in the background.</p>

<p>In a sense, <em>Fiddle</em> is like a jigsaw puzzle: the player is presented with a series of abstract shapes on a grid and the challenge is to move and rotate them all (without resulting in invalid positions, such as overlapping pieces) into such an arrangement that they ultimately form a complete, filled square. This is relatively trivial on the first tutorial level, but the difficulty escalates through 26 levels, one for every letter of the alphabet. The fewer moves used in the solution of a level, the higher the final score, hence the author encourages a strategic approach of contemplation over a trial-and-error system.</p>

<p>A straightforward <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/7446/amidar-variants-line-coloring-games/">Amidar</a></em> clone, <em>Gapper</em> adds a little twist, acknowledged in its name. As in its predecessors, the goal here is to change the colour of a series of lines (here in a straight grid pattern of increasing complexity) by traversing all of them -- a dotless Pac-Man or 2D Q-bert, if you will. The player's trail-leaving sprite, the Gapper, is ever pursued by the Seeker, a little enemy that finds the most effective route to intercept the player, follows it, meets up and deducts a life. In order to throw the Seeker off the trail, the Gapper has the option of producing a temporary "gap" in its trail, impassable by either of them until it expires.</p>

<p><em>Hamsters</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/683/lemmings/">Lemmings</a> variant, with the player again in charge of issuing instructions to individual members of a stream of little rodents toward the goal of ushering them toward a level exit (through 83 levels in the registered version!) and their continued survival, all under a time limit. Some of the 12 hamster activity types are highly reminiscent of those of Lemmings -- Sleepers, Jack-Hammerers and Burrowers Down are just renamed from the original -- while others, as in <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/24716/shoujo-attack/">Shoujo Attack!</a></em> have been assigned more whimsical abilities than in their predecessor, the Catapulter, Sticky Roller and Anti-Gravity Hamster among them.</p>

<p><em>Refusing to give up gracefully, with Terra a mere cherished memory among glowing particles of radioactive space dust, the pilot of the lone remaining Starfleet gunstar vows to go out in a blaze of glory, reducing as many Kreel Deck fighters to galactic debris as possible.</em></p>
<p>Or, otherwise put, another game in which a solitary human-controlled spaceship fights overwhelming alien, computer-controlled forces in space combat. The player pilots the <em>U.S.S. ButtKicker</em>, a VF-1 "Valkyrie", fully equipped with HarshCannon, HarshNukes and a HarshShield -- not as exciting an array of (harsh)armaments as it may sound, amounting to a single gun and the ability to sustain several hits before dying.</p>
<p>The interstellar dogfights take place on a flat 2D field a la <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Spacewar!+games">Spacewar!</a></em>, abstracting the third dimension right out of things. Enemy fighters can be monitored on a radar screen of sorts until they are sufficiently near to engage in close-range combat. In the interests of survival, the player is recommended to maneuvre such as to engage only one opponent at a time, to which end the ship is capable of thrusting forward and backward as well as more fine-grained turns. The <em>U.S.S. ButtKicker</em> has a finite amount of shields and energy, but the latter can be diverted to replenish the former as the player takes combat damage... energy then slowly accumulating again for later further shield supplementation.</p>
<p>There is no happy ending to this game -- every time a Kreel is destroyed, a new one WORPs in to replace it. The goal is quite simply to take out as many of them with you as you can.</p>

<p>In this meandering, stream-of-consciousness Choose-Your-Own-Adventure type text game, the player guides a 16-year-old Vietnam draft dodger-in-training, enjoying the heady freedom (to enjoy underage drinking and take his clothes off in public) the confusing and charged times inspired.  There are no clear long-term player goals -- merely the choosing the most personally appealing of every situation's two or three options, occasionally getting to enter in an entire string at certain prompts.</p>

<p>There are gaps in the bridge (three gaps in levels up to 6, four from there on), but does that deter pedestrians from willfully treading on, like Lemmings or <a href="/search/?q=Sleepwalker">Sleepwalker</a>s, to their demise? Regrettably, that is not the case. Fortunately for the player, a stopgap measure is available to instantaneously block a bridge gap, all at the press of a key, typing in the number of the gap to cover. Unfortunately, as the people cross one gap and approach the next, the makeshift walkway must be moved. If the shameless walkers would cooperate and move in groups, this would be a piece of cake, but instead the player needs to accommodate all of them at their own paces and schedules, regardless of which gap they're approaching. At least they're all traveling in the same direction, right? Well, except for every third level. Wouldn't things be easier if only they'd <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13019/bridge-builder/">built the bridge</a> correctly in the first place?</p>

<p><em>Apples &amp; Oranges</em> is an Othello/Reversi game, only for pawns, it uses... you guessed it - apples and oranges! You can choose one of the sides: Apples or Oranges (Apples always go first by default but this can be changed) and play with the computer or with another player. A 'hint' option is available which will tell you the best move. </p>
<p>On the screen, the left side is taken up by the playing board while on the right side you can see the count of every side's fruits and the menu buttons. </p>
<p>The game has optional sound effects, and three levels of difficulty</p>

<p>In artillery games the players are compelled to calculate physical forces such as wind speed and gravity to determine where their shot lands. In the grid of this dueling arena (reminiscent of a simplified <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14886/deflektor/"></a></em>), the players snipe with photons rather than lead shot, and hence concern themselves for the placement of diagonal mirrors, each reflecting and bending beams of light 90 degrees. In an attempt to keep the upper hand, the players, turn by turn, place mirrors to increase their range and accuracy, place mirrors to foul their opponent's aim, and move and rotate themselves. The winner (of each two-player round between humans, computers or both) is the one who tags out the other player first with their destructive laser-beam.</p>

<p>Ostensibly the shareware version of a more robust, non-quick <em>Majik Adventure</em>, as with their later <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bob+s+Dragon+Hunt">Dragon Hunt</a></em> this is a bit of a graphical <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Rogue+Variants">roguelike</a>, placing a fantasy adventurer smack in the middle of level 75 of a series of random and devious dungeons, filled to the gills with treasures and hostile creatures. As an earlier effort <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/7808/neurosport/">Neurosport</a> hadn't yet extruded the perspective into three bewildering dimensions here, and so we still retain the traditional top-down view, prettied up (and range-of-view constrained) with a graphical tileset.</p>

<p>A <a href="/search/?q=Rogue+variants">roguelike</a> inspired by (and released at) the annual <em>Assembly</em> demoparties held in Helsinki's Hartwall Areena, in this "virtual demo party simulation" the player controls the DemuLamu, an at-sign wandering around the partyplace at the "Helsinkifairsentter". Here he encounters ELiTE dudes, whose eliteness he aspires to (and can achieve through defeating them in combat), Llamers, to impress with accounts of his elite exploits, and party organizers, who have far more important and pressing things to do than waste their time interacting with the likes of you.</p>

<p><em>Wooden Ships &amp; Iron Men</em> is a turn-based game that allows you to recreate naval battles from the 18th and 19th centuries, based upon the successful boardgame by Avalon Hill.</p>
<p>You may choose from a list of scenarios or play a campaign. Choosing the Scenario option allows to select a series of set battles from the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolutionary War, the Napoleonic Wars or the War of 1812, where you will have the choice of commanding American, British or French ships. In campaign mode, you take command of a selection of US ships during the War of 1812, where your task is to sink as many British ships as possible during your career. </p>
<p>Ships are controlled with the mouse, enabling you to change course, load cannons, reassign your crew to stations and grapple. The game allows for a computer opponent, a human opponent or play by e-mail.</p>
<p>A Scenario Editor is also available, allowing you to create your own missions.</p>

<p>Black Knight is an air combat F/A-18 Hornet flight simulator. It features 50 different combat missions, 8 training missions as well as a free flight mode. A built-in mission creator is also available. Features included a flight instructor mode which offered instructions at every key point of flight or combat; flight recorder to play back your flight viewed from various angles; and digitized engine and cockpit sounds from actual F/A-18 Hornets.</p>
<p>It was initially distributed in 1995 as a shareware demo with some functions disabled.</p>

<p>In this legal simulation, the player is in charge of a defense attorney in a criminal trial, mounting relevant objections against the prosecution's badgering of a series of key witnesses toward issuing skewed testimony in a case against your defendant, accused of murdering one Sandra Stiff, a glamourous Beverly Hills heiress.  It is not enough to know when one may mount an objection, but specifically which from eleven different categories (from argumentative to hearsay to immaterial.  Once in a while a legitimate question comes through and the player still needs to identify it as a proper question!)</p>
<p>This game has since been re-made for Windows with enhanced graphics and citation from case law.</p>

<p><em>Quest ][</em> is a somewhat unusual game, replete with a kind of celebratory strangeness that only the young or confirmedly peculiar can muster up. After selecting the player's shoe size, a baffling story is set up pertaining to the rescue of the daughter of a historical would-be knight errant, Trepto -- and your player's time-traveling mission to assist him in this task, under the pain of nuclear demolition.</p>
<p>Navigating some MS-DOS-era utility software-style graphical text-button menus, the player wanders a perplexing complex described as in a text adventure game and interacted with via [h]otkey multiple-choice options. Some combat may or may not be conducted with downright deranged enemies ("a group of Severed human heads"?!), following which the player emerges overland and starts attempting to navigate a map of France in the 1700s via coordinates. Then, upon finding a town, the player goes from building to building attempting to locate the knight and his daughter -- now courtesy of a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Rogue+variants">roguelike</a> interface! It's all a little overwhelming, though eventually the strangenesses add up with a kind of internal consistency.</p>

<p><em>Beethoven's 2nd</em> is a platform game where you get a chance to wear the metaphorical shoes of Beethoven - that lovable, big dog from the movie.</p>
<p>Your four puppies need to be rescued and brought back to their mom. As a responsible father and guardian you'll first need to find the puppy, avoiding dangers such as bad-tempered cats, mean dogcatchers, acorns which have a habit to drop down just when you pass underneath, and careless skateboarders. You can bark at these opponents to scare them away. And if you'll find a source of water (such as a rubber hose), you can make yourself wet and then - in a tense situation - shake off the water, eliminating everyone in the vicinity. </p>
<p>Once you find your pup, you'll find out that getting him back to his mom is no easy task. While your puppy can - thankfully - walk on his own accord when you put him down, you'll still have to carry it over obstacles, and you'll be forced to fight all the enemies again while doing it.</p>

<p>Would you like to have your own castle? With lots of chambers, secrets, puzzles and activities to do? Well, Scooter now owns such a castle, and he's very eager to see what he can find inside! And he can find quite a lot. </p>
<p><em>Scooter's Magic Castle</em> is an education game where you control Scooter, and by clicking on various items in the Castle you can interact with them, often starting a small mini-game. The activities available around the castle are numerous, ranging from simple memory tests to composing your own melody. </p>
<p>During his travels around the castle's corridors, Scooter is assisted by a helpful owl, who acts as the game's options menu and can also teleport you to any chamber.</p>

<p>Originating in the arcades, <em>Dynasty Wars</em> is a beat-em-up set during the Three Kingdoms Era of the Chinese history, and is, more specifically, based on the <em>Tenchi o Kurau</em> manga adaptation of the story. The player adopts the identity of an ancient Chinese warrior, and riding on horseback has to eliminate all his opponents, mostly infantry and archers. </p>
<p>Four historical characters from the time period can be controlled: Zhang Fei (fights with a halberd), Liu Bei (broadsword), Guan Yu (a Chinese pole weapon known as guan dao), and Zhao Yun (pike); some of the character names are misspelled in translated versions. The characters are distinguished by their health and strength parameters.</p>
<p>The game uses a lateral scroll and the player can move in all four directions. A novelty is the attack system: when pressing fire the energy of the attack will load up as the warrior moves his weapon up and backwards, in order to gain momentum. The more the player can keep fire pressed, the more powerful the attack will be. In addition, so-called "tactics" can be used at specific moments; these are powerful area attacks that deplete the protagonist's HP in process and range from summoning an ambush partner and causing rocks slide down slopes.</p>
<p>Stages typically culminate in boss battles. Along the way, various power-ups can be collected. Besides treasure that increases the player's score, and food packs that heal the protagonist, there are also yellow and blue orbs, which represent the game's light RPG elements: yellow orbs count as experience points and increase the character's vitality after a stage is over, and blue orbs increase the power of his weapon.</p>

<p>At heart, this is a collection of three different <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/2126/breakout-variants/">Breakout variants</a> (Brick Wall, Falling Walls, and The Blast Adventure), dished up in the trademark <a href="/search/?q=Moraffware">Moraffware</a> style of eye-popping, fauvist colour in more supported video resolution modes than you might previously have believed existed. In all modes gameplay is primarily concerned with bouncing a ball off a paddle on the bottom of the screen and into blocks or bricks suspended above, destroying them. In Falling Walls, as you might have been able to guess, the suspension is not complete, while in The Blast Adventure game mode, priority is on removing obstructions from around a gateway to the next level rather than on eliminating all bricks from the screen. In all modes, various conventional power-up types assist the player in their brick demolition.</p>

<p>Set during the collapse of the Soviet Union, this arcade style game puts the player in control of a Soviet tank. This tank must explore the areas of Vilnius and Baku and rescue all Russian citizens. Meanwhile, the rebel armies will attack with everything they have.</p>
<p>The game uses an overhead view of the battlefield and multi-directional scroll. The gameplay is reminiscent of games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/117573/swiv/">SWIV</a>, but the need to rescue a certain number of hostages to complete the level adds a limited strategy element: the goal of the game is not to defeat the enemies, a task literally impossible as they re-spawn within seconds, but to rescue the hostages before being blown up.</p>

<p><em>Xtrek</em> is a text adventure that originated from <em>Star Trek</em>-based erotic fan fiction, leading to the emergence of a genre sometimes referred to as "adult interactive fiction" (AIF). The player controls a male Ensign named Marty Stu, a fresh Star Fleet Academy graduate, assigned to temporary duty on board the Enterprise. Under supervision by Counselor Deanna Troi, he will be evaluated in his ability to fulfill tasks assigned to him by superior officers to their satisfaction. If successful, he will receive a permanent posting to this position, achieving what can be called "satisfaction" as well...</p>
<p>The text parser is rather limited, and there aren't a great many options available to the player; in addition to the standard navigational directions, they will be expected to take objects, give objects (including, ahem, "head"), and there is also a special verb employed in this game beginning with the letter f. </p>
<p>At no point in the game does it become necessary to reverse the polarity through the main deflector array; these are not the kinds of problems the player is posed with; rather, they tend to deal with issues such as who to use a given object on or (ahem) <em>in</em>. Missing the point of <em>intercourse</em>, the sex scenes are non-interactive; the game's puzzles are just the removal of obstacles allowing the scenes to be triggered through use of the magic f-word.</p>

<p>Another game about crates! Building blocks of sorts, they both obstruct the player's path in initial level layouts and yet are required to re-assemble into staircase configurations in order to reach the exits of 15 shareware levels (60 in the registered version). While the crates don't necessarily have set destinations, there is a limited number of valid positions for them to occupy and leave the level still solvable, making this in some thematic senses a platformer variant of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1715/soko-ban/">Soko-Ban</a>.</p>
<p>But protagonist Demolisher Dirk, no doubt rockin' out to Bachman-Turner Overdrive in his Walkman, needs to do more than schlep a bunch of boxes around an empty room; there are hazards to be avoided (electricity arcs, eek!), switches to flip (altering level lay-outs) and a plethora of power-ups allowing him to jump higher and bash or blast through certain kinds of pesky wall.</p>

<p>New-York, Year 1998. The once most prestigious city in the world, has now become a fighting zone.
Half of the city is left in ruins, and it is in that part of town that the marginals and gangs are living, hunted by every law enforcement agencies. The other half of the city consists of fancy mansions, in some of which the most important drug barons reside.
Unfortunately, they are the ones who run the city using the enormous profits they make from dealing drugs and weapons.
They now have succeeded in endangering the country's economy.</p>
<p>The U.S. government, wanting to avoid a terrible crisis, called the CIA to run several types of operations in order to get rid of this bad substitute of government.
The C.I.A., headed up by "The Boss", has to clean up the city of its crooks.
One plan is to reorganize the city by placing security check-points at strategic positions.
The operation was set up for April 4, and quickly proved to be an unprecedented success.
The badly organized, smaller street gangs, were greatly outnumbered and couldn't match the extremely well armed law enforcement troops.</p>
<p>On May 7, during a successful raid, the state police special branch, took possession of a huge arsenal of weapons and ammunition, worth more than two million dollars.
This raid was an important stage in the whole operation.
Realizing the sticky situation they were in, the heads of the crime organizations now started making plans for themselves: They needed to regain their control over the city and above all, secure their territories.
On May 15, they kidnapped "The Boss" in order to get from him the names of his operatives involved in the C.I.A. fight against organized crime.
This way, they were convinced they could stay in control of the situation and become even more powerful.</p>
<p>Your mission is to liberate "The Boss" and to bring him back safely.</p>
<p>You're gonna be dropped from the chopper with your panther at the spot where "The Boss" was last seen.
You have your 357 Magnum ready and the panther is trained to protect you closely.</p>
<p>You'll have to travel through the various parts of the city, in search of the hostage, and you will find that your street fighting skills will prove to be very useful.</p>
<p>In each part of the city, you will confront various enemies and their gang leaders.
They will become more and more skilled in combat as you progress. Some of them are so powerful that it would be wise to save bullets for these particular fights.
Once you reach the point where "The Boss" is held prisoner, you must rescue him and safely escort him back to a safe place.</p>
<p>On the way back, you will have to be particularly careful, since you will have to protect "The Boss" whose physical condition has been worn out.</p>
<p>Wild Streets is a side-scrolling arcade game, in which you fight enemies using punches, kicks, your gun and sometimes your panther will help you.</p>

<p>Who's this little fellow on our screen? He's A.J., that's who. And he's about to invite you to his own "World of Discovery".</p>
<p><em>A.J.'s World of Discovery</em> is an educational game where kids can play numerous mini-games: </p>
<ul>
<li>an <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/2126/breakout-variants/">Arkanoid</a> clone; </li>
<li>a funny face maker, where you can freely change facial features or randomly generate a face; </li>
<li>a simple graphics program where you can draw pictures with a variety of tools and save them to disk; </li>
<li>Matchbox car races; you can construct your own track and then race another person or a computer; </li>
<li>a keyboard that teaches to type; </li>
<li>a sticker book; </li>
<li>several jigsaw puzzles, where you are rewarded with an animated picture after you finish piecing it together; </li>
<li>educational mini-games that teach English and Maths; </li>
<li>and it's also possible to grow your own garden by planting the seeds and then watch the flowers slowly grow over time.</li>
</ul>
<p>The game contains numerous amusing, silly animations and sounds.</p>

<p>Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bill+Gates">Bill Gates</a> is like? Some cynical Finnish programmers decided to cobble together this little program to illustrate the big business decisions coming across Mr. Gates' desk. Starting with a pile of cash, the player needs to decide how to allocate it, in one of three ways:* First, he can hire bodyguards. These fellows won't help you make any money further on down the line (in truth, they are a continual drain on your accounts) but in the event of Redmond getting stormed by rabid anti-Microsoft fanatics, their bodies will keep yours from harm.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Second, he can file a lawsuit -- most likely against an actual software innovator -- which is a bit of a crapshoot: money is allocated to the legal team and money comes out as a settlement, and if the player is lucky, the latter exceeds the former.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Finally, if he's really desperate, he can develop and publish software. Choosing whether to make a minor (3.1 to 3.11) or major (2.0 to 3.0) update, he then assigns varying sums to the programming and marketing departments. Cross your fingers and see how it pans out in the marketplace!</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>(Conspicuously, this game was never ported to Linux or released for Amigas or Macs 8)</p>

<p>Dork the Dinosaur settles down for a nap beneath a Triassic tree when a thunderstorm stirs up, frightening him.  A lightning bolt hits the tree he's sheltering beneath, dropping a branch on his head and knocking him out cold.  While he's unconscious, he dreams... that he is a character in an eight-level platform game.</p>
<p>Each level has a fixed goal -- to reach the exit without touching enemies -- and some levels will feature distinctly non-prehistoric objects (springs, harpoons, bombs, balloons) for assistance in achieving that goal.  Otherwise all Dork has going for him is a little dino shuffle and a little thecodont hop that unfortunately can't be used in conjunction with the shuffle.</p>

<p>Revisiting the abstract origami wireframe 3D first-person perspective of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/22025/bobs-dragon-hunt/">Bob's Dragon Hunt</a> for the second game using the homely but workmanlike "VirtualDungeon" engine, it finds itself reskinned -- suddenly all the dragons are giant ants, the other reptiles transformed into other varieties of enlarged arthropods. The castle lair? Now it's a desert, with anthill openings promising further massacre beneath the surface.</p>
<p>A simple look at the commands listing will reveal the <a href="/search/?q=Rogue+variants">roguelike</a> machinery behind its graphical guts, dating back to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/32330/quick-majik-adventure/">Majik Adventure</a>; as before, there are two orders of the day: hack and slash. But to any kid who once fried ants with a magnifying glass in the backyard, this messy business could merrily continue all day.</p>

<p>What is the game called? <em>Amaze</em>! What's in it? <em>A maze!</em> Now that we've got that taken care of...</p>
<p>Due to unexplained factors, our protagonist, a roguelike yellow happy face, has found him or herself stranded in the middle of large, multi-segmented textmode labyrinth (each segment coincidentally about the size of one metric computer screen, decorated with a different colour scheme and using different characters as obstacles), filled with endlessly re-spawning enemies (red faces), finite ammunition refills, health bonuses and abstract dangers only hinted at through the use of arcane ASCII symbols one can't even name. Sometimes messages spelled out plainly in the room layout address the player directly. The enemies carry on their own routine in realtime, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/116/kroz-series/">Kroz-style</a>, so the hero may as well move along at a brisk pace in search of the maze's exit... supposing that there even <em>is</em> one.</p>
<p>The game was later (but not too much longer -- same year of release) gussied up with extra flashes and bleeps and a new introductory scroller and distributed in crippled shareware form as <em>Insanity</em>, boasting new, unfamiliar messages among the traditional map lay-outs, and hinting at adventure-game puzzle-solving through the inclusion of new objects in the maps. Since this version boots the player after a single death, it is difficult to track further changes.</p>

<p>An early (late '70s) HP minicomputer text adventure game, this one begins with the player dropped off by a taxi outside the locked gate of an estate containing an eponymous mysterious mansion, at the end of an endless "hideous highway". The grounds are surrounded by dense and difficult-to-navigate (even with the assistance of obligatory magic words) woods. Can the player find a way into the cubic building (three floors of 3x3 rooms), treasure-hunting ensues, as well as solving a murder mystery -- if the player can avoid becoming another victim of the murderer! The clock is always running, and should the player dally, the mansion, along with its treasures, its host of resident NPCs, and the player itself, all are incinerated in a house fire sparked suspiciously (or, dare I say... <em>mysteriously</em>?) at the stroke of midnight.</p>

<p>Following a typical plot for its generation of early text adventures on mainframe, <em>Castle</em> challenges its player to explore a castle, avoiding hazards, in search of 590 points' worth of hidden treasures contained in and around the premises. Standard conventions of the genre's infancy abound, including surprising magic word use for convenient teleportation and an avowedly unmappable random maze, here strewn with some of the author's choicest gags and <em>bons mots</em> from idols and various sources from the mass media.</p>

<p>As <a href="/search/?q=Lemmings">Lemmings</a> spawned its annual <a href="/search/?q=Holiday+Lemmings">Holiday Lemmings</a> specials, so too the Lemmings parody <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8491/lamers/">Lamers</a> yielded this festive spin-off. Following the <em>Lamers</em> premise of AI-controlled Lemming-like Lamers (here dressed in Santa suits) securing their own safe passage through a hostile landscape toward a computer for them to muck up, the task before the player is to use all tools available to thwart them. With more seasonal hazards to employ than the conventional arms featured in its predecessor, here the player deploys limited amounts of Christmas toys and cruel factors of the winter weather -- snowballs and buckets of ice water. Will nothing drive away these Lamers?</p>

<p>A rudimentary Christian text adventure with a multiple-choice navigational interface, the game puts in the player (following an introductory throwaway prayer to better understand the lessons in the Book of Revelation -- specifically chapters 19:11 through 20:10) in a "Between-Land" neither in this life nor the afterlife, learning special prayers from angels and facing down devils.</p>
<p>The player plods along through environments as varied as the Wayside Chapel, an Angel Barracks, the Blackclaw Forest, and the redundant Catacomb Caves, sporadically taking in deeper wisdom from angelic mentors on side-branches or applying that wisdom against demonic tormentors encountered on the main path.  When exploring destinations numerous nuanced navigational options are offered (cardinal directions vs. the standard "Continue on"), but generally only one or two are valid, making this game, narratively, akin to a fixed-rail shooter... only with praying in place of shooting.</p>

<p>In one of our more original game concepts, the player here controls the movements of a disc with their mouse.  The disc is divided into four quarters, each a different colour, identifying with balls of four various colours zooming around the playfield and four differently-coloured wall-mounted hands grasping out, waiting for the player to deliver a ball of the appropriate colour.  In order to ensnare a ball (as though they were complementary sides of a velcro connection), the player must rotate the disc using the mouse buttons to ensure that the side facing the ball is of the same colour as the ball itself when they connect.  Colour-mismatched connections result in taking a hit; after twelve such failures, the game is over.</p>

<p><em>Zeroth Zone</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Scramble">Scramble</a> variant. Your goal is to get your spaceship across 6 zones (starting with zone 5). On the way, you encounter missiles that should be avoided or destroyed, and you have to watch out: you do not want to bump into walls or to run out of fuel. The game is a classic side-scrolling view, and your ship is controlled with arrow keys: it can drop bombs downwards or shoot missiles forward.</p>

<p><em>Mega Maze</em> is a video game approach to the real-life games where you would turn a platform of a maze with a metal ball to miss the holes and reach the middle with a few twists. You control a steel ball, being chased by enemies balls who can destroy you by blowing up when they touch you.</p>
<p>You also have to avoid explosive traps, trap doors and electric sensors. You can even make dummy balls to attract the enemy balls or use them to set on a switch to keep weight on it, giving you time to get through a trap without being caught. It features 75 levels, each with either with one maze clear up to three mazes.</p>

<p>Based on the board game of the same name, two or more players are required to build hotels along a boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The hotels are constructed by placing markers that represent the growing floors of the hotels. The game progresses when players throw three dice, two standard numeric six-sided dice, and a special color die. The two numbers on the standard dice represents the total amount of money players can spend on construction, while the special die tells them that they can build in any color group. During the game, players can take over each other's hotels and get Fortune Cards, in which players can take advantage of construction bonuses, natural disasters, and other events to add and remove floors. As with the board game, the first player to pass $35 million in hotel property values wins the game.</p>

<p>Enter into fishing competition with your partner and Bass Master Pro, Rich Tauber. This early simulator offers more than 20 lure types and colors with multiple techniques from regular casting to flipping and jigging. There is a fully operational electronic fish finder which used alongside your partner's advice should be more than enough to get you on your way. Be careful not to hook the rocks or other misleading resistance or its back to the tackle box.</p>

<p>Produced as a product tie-in with OTA's honey puff cereal, Guldkornexpressen (or Kalaspuffsexpressen) revolves around the brand's bear mascot, who drives a train filled with honey puffs. His task on each level is to pick up boxes of the cereal, add honey and drive the train to the end of the level, where the cargo is loaded into a big box of Guldkorn.</p>
<p>It is not just a straight forward career along the tracks, though. Switches must be set back and forth for the train to go on the right tracks, there are rocks and fallen trees on the track, and you must keep your speed so as not to crash into things. Fortunately for Puff the bear, he has a honeybee friend. By tapping the joystick button, you activate the bee. It is the bee's task to activate the switches and to operate the honey tap. If you hold in the joystick button, you activate an action menu to deal with obstacles. You can choose to jump over fallen trees, throw dynamite at rocks or to let the bear jump out and dig away dirt from the tracks.</p>

<p><em>Pesten</em> is a shedding game with playing cards. In this port of the game the player plays against the computer. At the beginning of the game each player has seven cards. The player who gets rid of all her cards first wins. There is one card lying in the middle of the playing field. In each turn the player lays one card on the card in the middle if it fits. A card fits if it is of the same suit or if it has the same number. When a player hasn't got a card that fits, she has to draw a card from the draw stack.</p>
<p>Some of the cards have a special meaning. When a player plays a 2 or a joker, the other player has to draw 2 or 5 (in case of a joker) cards, unless the other player also has a 2 or a joker and she plays this 2 or joker. In that case the first player has to draw 4 (2+2) or 7 (2+5) cards, unless she has a 2 or a joker, etc.
When a player plays a 7 or an 8, she may play another card.
A jack fits on every card, and the player that plays the jack may say which suit the next card should have.</p>

<p>The objective of the game is to guess a combination of four tokens. The player gets ten tries to guess. After each guess the computer tells the player how many tokens were guessed right. The computer also tells the player how many tokens do occur in the combination, but in a different position. The player should use this information to guess the combination as fast as possible.</p>

<p><em>SimuSex 1.0</em> is a simplistic sex simulator for DOS made by Erosoft. Apart from selecting a position and waving your mouse back and forth while watching the animated naked girls, there's not really much of content or depth in the "game". </p>
<p>The few novelties of <em>SimuSex</em> are fluid animation, the fact that it was one of the first virtual girl-programs with more than still graphics and text descriptions, and that it was extremely widespread in many BBS'es in the 90's.</p>
<p>A copy of <em>SimuSex 2.0</em> is promised when registering the game. The developers promise MPEG1 SVGA quality digitized video on software, interactive 3D models with toys, digitized sound effects, sort of a mood AI for the girls and a range of other ahead of their time -features. Unfortunately(?) the 2.0 version never realized into a real product and the rather unknown company faded into oblivion after the release of this product.</p>

<p>The terrorist organization named Hex has placed deadly ShockWave devices worldwide. If triggered, they will cause total destruction of the ecosystem. You must lead the newly formed StrikePoint helicopter team against the forces of Hex, destroying their strongholds and defusing their tectonic threats. The game contains 10 global hotspots that you can attempt in any order you choose. Each hotspot contains its own set of missions. Some of the missions you will be sent on will involve destruction of enemy aircraft and artillery, ambushing and elimination of enemy convoys, rescuing of ally scientists, and most importantly collecting and defusing all untriggered ShockWave devices. You can choose to fly one of three different types of helicopters to accomplish your goals.</p>

<p>Based on the Italian comics character Dylan Dog, London "nightmare detective", <em>Gli Uccisori (The Murderers)</em> is another volume created by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/260543/tiziano-sclavi/">Tiziano Sclavi</a> himself and is a side-view action platform game with puzzle elements.</p>
<p>After the nightmare Dylan saw in his dream, he received the invitation from one mysterious person to visit a mansion along with many other people. Accepting the invitation, Dylan (clothed in his signature red shirt, black jacket, and blue jeans) entered the house and took part in the sumptuous feast. But the wine was poisoned, and the part of guests were the murderers. Dylan, remembering the nightmare, just in case took the revolver with him. And here it all starts...</p>
<p>You as Dylan should move around the house, fight with the murderers with bare hands, with revolver, or with weapons found in the house such as knife, screwdriver, sword, or maul. You should find certain keys to open certain doors. Also after killing certain murderers, you'll be provided with certain secrets given to you by the survived guests. Main parts of the story is told in comics art-style without any literary material.</p>
<p>The problems for you in the mansion along the murderers are: <br>
 1) the timeflow, so you should act quickly;  </p>
<p>2) your life energy, so you should keep it as high as possible blocking the opponent's hits;  </p>
<p>3) number of the bullets for the revolver, so you should use them wisely;  </p>
<p>4) no ability to save the game, so you should break through to the finish during the single seance of the gameplay;   </p>
<p>5) the mansion's owner, whose identity you'll understand at the very end.</p>

<p>You are a commander of HMS Raider, on a daring privateer raid into the extremities of the planet Hell. Your mission is to collect diamonds from this hellish planet. Fly around, collect diamonds and shoot all incoming enemies. </p>
<p>Only your HMS Raider can collect diamonds. There are four fighters inside your Raider, called Orbitals. You can use them to survey the area and destroy enemies while your mothership keeps collecting diamonds automatically or by another player. If orbital is used, camera follows it, so stay close to Raider if another player is controlling it. It is hard to collect diamonds if can't see them or yourself)</p>

<p>You control a fleet of six ships, each of which can be one of three types: Destroyer, Carrier, or Frigate. Your fleet is tasked with hunting down and destroying a pack of up to 30 submarines. This task is complicated by the fact that the submarines move around and occasionally shoot at you, although you can tweak their aggressiveness and movement (including turning off movement altogether). The game ends when either all your ships or all the subs are destroyed.</p>

<p>Pentti-Antero Sillanköykäys has been severely disabled for his whole life. After his 27th birthday he starts seeing prophetic dreams which help him to miraculously cure himself. He feels an urge to contribute something back to the society and starts a taxi service for the disabled; the Inva-taxi.</p>
<p>Even though <em>Inva-taxi</em> was originally meant to be a simple joke, it was one of those games that spread in Finnish BBS systems. The gameplay is based on a unique feature: speech recognition by the player. The player listens to the incomprehensible mongling of instructions given by disabled people and tries to select the right destination for the taxi ride. There really isn't any more content in the game than listening to the samples and clicking the right spot on the map.</p>

<p>In today's moral climate, it seems that almost everyone is living by the rule 'kill or be killed'. Some people are taking the idea to extremes, plunging into danger just to prove that they are really tough and a lot stupider than the rest. </p>
<p>In this game, players control Kwon, dubbed the Human Killing Machine. He has vowed to demonstrate the power of his homeland; and does this by battling a series of opponents in several countries such as Moscow, Amsterdam, and Barcelona. <em>HKM</em> uses the term 'knockdown' for players who defeat their current opponent. Three knockdowns are needed for the player to move onto the next opponent.</p>
<p>Bonus points are awarded for the remaining energy Kwon has when he has successfully defeated his opponent. The player has five lives, and if all of them are used up, the game is over.</p>

<p>In this puzzle game you have to correctly guess a sequence of colors.</p>
<p>You have six colors (white, blue, green, magenta, black, red) and four empty boxes. Selecting a color will place it into the empty box. Once all four colors are set, the game will compare it with the hidden set sequence and show you the amount of correct placed colors and the number of colors which are in the sequence but at the wrong place. You now have five additional turns to correct your sequence so that it matches the hidden sequence. (Note: the same color can be used multiple times.)</p>

<p>In Pac, err, <em>HolgiMan</em> you control your little yellow HolgiMan, collecting all the dots from the level while avoiding being caught by the ghosts - unless you eat the red dots, then you can eat the fleeing ghosts as well. If you get caught, you loose a life.</p>

<p>You control Quicky through fifteen chocolate cereal filled platform levels. You will have to fight your way through worms and bees in the forest world, fish and crabs in underwater cities, mummy worms in the desert and penguins in the winterland. After each two stages you'll get to battle the crazy doctor to retrieve one lost recipe from him.</p>
<p>Much like other platformers of the time, you can collect ammo, health items and bonus letters (forming the word NESQUIK) which take you to a secret level after each level. There are mushrooms you can use to jump higher and some hidden platforms you have to find to get all the hidden items.</p>

<p><em>Profezia</em> is set sometime during the Middle Ages, in a mountain area between the two Italian regions of Abruzzo and Lazio. The player takes control of a mercenary who has been hired to retrieve a golden crown from the castle of Capistrello, where Duke Attilio intends to use it on an ancient Pagan rite.</p>
<p>Profezia is an adventure game with a multiple-choice interface: as opposed to classic adventures where the player is free to roam around the game world (or part of it), the storyline in Profezia develops automatically. Whenever an action is to be taken, the player is presented with a set of choices, which will affect the rest of the adventure.</p>
<p>It is worth noting that there is no unique path to complete the game: the player may follow alternate branches, provided that the actions which follow are coherent with their previous choices.</p>

<p>Based on the movie of the same name, <em>Space Jam</em> centres around an invasion of Looney Tunes land by tiny aliens. The fate of the Tunes is to be decided by a basketball game, and for this the aliens turn into the huge, evil Monstars.</p>
<p>The game is about two thirds basketball sim and then minigames are stuck in to fill all the gaps. You can play as the Monstars or the Looney Tunes who have the help of Michael Jordan. The basketball games themselves come in two flavours, two-on-two and three-on-three.</p>
<p>Successful completion of the minigames upgrades your character's abilities on the court. There are several - one involves finding MJ's basketball togs, one is a space race in the style of the retro Micro Machines games. There are about five minigames in all, and a player from both teams participates.</p>
<p>The multiplayer is a big aspect of the game. There is the traditional two-player versus, one team Tunes, one team Monstars, and there is also co-operative mode. In this two or even three players can play on the same team. Using multitaps, you can actually have a three-on-three game.</p>
<p>The Tunes roster is made up of Michael Jordan, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Lola Bunny, Taz, Foghorn Leghorn, Pepé Le Pew, Sylvester, Wile E. Coyote, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam. The Monstars have access to Pound, Bupkus, Bang, Blanko and Nawt.</p>
<p>There are three statistics in the game, namely Speed, Shooting and Rebounds. These are pretty self-explanatory, but there is another more subtle one that's similar to stamina. Throughout the course of play your characters will get tired and lose their focus. A successful slam dunk usually tops this up.</p>
<p>The closest thing the game has to a single player mode is the Intergalactic Tournament (though it can be played multiplayer). This is a series of five matches in a row. One captain is picked and plays every game, while the rest of the team is substituted in and out.</p>
<p>There is no real way to progress in the game as it does not support memory cards. Space Jam has more of an arcade, lighthearted feel to it.</p>

<p>The first Patrol Disk for the submarine simulation <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5356/silent-hunter/">Silent Hunter</a> adds two new patrol zones for the career mode to the game: Malaysia (near Singapore and the Street of Malacca) and the Sulu Sea (between the Philippines and Borneo). </p>
<p>In addition, there are 15 new stand-alone scenarios which also introduce some new mission types: there now are photo reconnaissance missions (sneaking into an enemy harbor and photographing the installations) as well as "Lifeguard" missions (saving downed pilots from the seas).</p>

<p>The second add-on disk to the submarine simulation <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5356/silent-hunter/">Silent Hunter</a> features similar content as the first: there are two new patrol zones for the career mode (the waters near Hong Kong and Vietnam) and 15 new scenario missions.</p>
<p>There is also an entirely new feature - a scenario editor. It allows the creation of a multitude of missions. Any patrol zone can be used as the setting. Submarines, military and trading ships and aircraft can be freely placed. Many variables can be set: weather, time of day, experience of ship crews and bomb load of aircraft. The pre-existing scenarios can be loaded into the editor and changed as well.</p>

<p>You are a psyborg named Duncan Norton, who must travel through the vortex from a space vessel trapped in a galaxy very far from Earth. An alien race is threatening to take over 38 planets and you've got to stop them. </p>
<p>Starting from Anacreon, you will mentally pass through the Krypton, Kalgan, Zorgon, Terminus, Trantor, and finally Sol systems. Each stellar system has a certain number of planets, which you will traverse from one to another. </p>
<p>The game is a first-person virtual reality race, where you run as fast as possible on the tiles that are formed in a pentagonal prism. At the starting point you accelerate, and then change the facets of the prism in order to avoid falling through the gaps. When the tile's path  spirals, you may decelerate your velocity. Time runs out, and you must refill your time meter by standing on tiles marked with a "T". Standing on certain tiles that are marked with shapes of different blinking colors will give you a different amount of points. Special actions, such as jumping from one part of prism to another as well as teleporting forward and back, may be performed. Save points are placed on the track but the number of prism facets may change during your run.</p>
<p>Finishing the race to each planet will give you a password, which may be used later to start from this point. The best scores will be written in High Scores table.</p>
<p>The game is available for 1 or 2 players.</p>

<ul>
<li>a level generator ("Wolf Creator")</li>
<li>a level editor ("MapEdit")</li>

<p>Based on the 1950s TV series of the same name, <em>The Honeymooners</em> is a series of mini-games. Ralph Kramden wants to hold the annual meeting of the Raccoon Lodge at Miami Beach. However the treasury is fairly empty and in order to make his dream come true, the Kramden's and their friends, the Norton's will need to work extra hard and be a little lucky to reach the required amount. But Miami Beach is a popular destination, and the families must hurry before all the hotels are booked.</p>
<p><em>The Honeymooners</em> is really 4 different mini-games for one to four players who compete against one another. The goal is represented by a train car heading towards Miami Beach. The goal is to earn enough points (presumably representing money) to move the train car all the way there. In order to gain points, the player attempts to complete one of the following mini-games:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>No If's, And's or Bus</strong>: Ralph Kramden is a bus driver and must pick up as many passengers and take them to their destinations. The game is played as an overhead view over a map of steet names and passangers. The goal is to pick up waiting passangers and deliver them to the destination they want. The player only controls the bus's direction (up, down, left, right) and speed. Delivering passengers earns points but leaving passengers on the bus will lose points. Hitting other traffic or returning to the bus depot will end the game.</li>
<li><strong>Sewer I Do</strong>: Ed Norton works for the sewer company and has a map of the tunnels' layout. However his map has blown away so he must navigate the sewers from memory, fixing leaks and eventually returning to his ladder. The game is played in first-person 3D maze with the player being able to move forward, back and rotate left and right.</li>
<li><strong>Going to Pieces</strong>: Alice Kramden works at a department store and is talking to Trixie when she drops a jig-saw puzzle. The player must reassemble the image before time runs out.</li>
<li>Additionally, <strong>"The $99,000 Answer"</strong> is Ralph's favorite game show, sometimes appears at the end of mini-games as a double-or-nothing bonus round. Players must answer trivia questions related to The Honeymooners TV show. However game shows are all about luck and sometimes the player will win or lose randomly without a question being asked.</li>
</ul>

<p>In the future, the resources of the Earth are depleted. Therefore, a giant company named <em>Dynatech</em> is created to secure the demands of Earth through the discovery and development of distant worlds. </p>
<p>The player is a business man who wants to have a share of the huge profits that are to be made by this policy. To achieve this goal, he can buy facilities and spaceships from the Dynatech corporation. The player must compete in the interplanetary market, and sometimes in cooperation with their opponents, to extract the raw materials and develop customer products, food or machines. </p>
<p>The game is very trade-based and focuses on the logistics of a demand-and-supply economy through trading and production, with no further gameplay options like piracy or combat. The game runs in real-time and can be played by two players at once on a computer. It can be compared to the modern <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/530/patrician-series/">Patrician</a> series or the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/2981/port-royale-series/">Port Royale </a> series.</p>

<p>The year is 2044 and after the events in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/41668/vision-the-5-dimension-utopia/">Vision</a>, the Rockfellow Tower, a self-contained generation ship for the exploration of deep space, starts off into the unknown universe. But as they enter the tail of a comet and bring the ship up to light speed, the crew realizes that there is something or someone else on the ship who doesn't want the crew to succeed on their mission.</p>
<p>The basic game is an adventure in which you see the world through the eyes of the protagonist. You move from screen to screen to find items, talk to the crew in a multiple choice dialogue and solve puzzles to find and eliminate the evil. Always with you is the computer MAX that controls the whole ship. As you move through the Tower he maps all the different levels and also helps you with the riddles and keeps you on the right track. To spice things up a bit, the game also features some action-based mini-games.</p>

<p>The dominators are the most powerful but also most ruthless force in the universe and are determined to destroy all living beings in the universe. To put a stop to their doing, you choose between three different ships and then fly out into space.</p>
<p>The game plays like a normal horizontal shooter. While the screen moves slowly from left to right, wave after wave of enemies enter the screen from all sides and attack the player's ship. As the player shoots his way through these hordes of fighters, bombers and other types of ships, he earns points and picks up power-ups. While the power-ups are instantly activated and give him benefits like a temporary fire power boost, the points are used between the missions to upgrade the ship a little in terms of new weapons or more health.</p>

<p>At the start of this game the player has to enter how many of the 71 Dutch cities included in the game need to be guessed. On the left hand side of the screen, a map of the Netherlands is shown and one city is selected. On the right hand side of the screen the player has to enter the name of this city. The game records the number of answers that are right and the number of answers that are wrong.</p>

<p>In this Mahjongg variant the player has to remove the tiles with the same marks from the board until all the board is completely empty. The elimination of tiles is allowed if these tiles are projected on the same line with no other tiles in their projection path. There are a certain number of same items on each level. The player can mark the tiles, or cancel the action to change the decision. The dead-ends exist if the strategy of tiles elimination was incorrect. Games are time-limited and a certain number of 'next move' suggestions are available during gameplay.</p>
<p>The game sports three difficulty levels as well as a 1 or 2-player mode. The best scores are saved in the high score table.</p>

<p><em>Super Jeopardy!</em> is based on the popular Jeopardy! TV game show. In this digital incarnation, 4 players compete at answering reverse trivia questions in trademark Jeopardy! fashion-- i.e., the host provides the answer and a player has to provide the questions. As many of 4 human players can participate, with the remaining slots filled by the computer. Competition takes place in quarter-final, semi-final, and final round modes.</p>
<p>A player will select a question from one of 6 categories. The game gives the answer to the question and the players use their controllers to buzz in. At that point, a player has 80 seconds to spell out the question (and the computer has already provided the "What is..." question preamble). In the player gets the question wrong, that player loses money and the remaining players have an opportunity to buzz in.</p>

<p>In the game you as manager of Basketball team start your career with a budget of $9,000,000. The gameplay includes the economical management of the team and playing the baseketball game itself on the field.</p>
<p>In <em>management phase</em> the player has to buy a team of 8 players, and assign 5 of them for a match. The price of players differs based on their skill and experience. The experience is described by two parameters: Rookie and Veteran, and skills are described by four parameters: SP (Running speed), SK (Skill in getting set for taking shot), ST (Stamina), SH (Shooting ability). Starting with the rookies the player will eventually progress to a solid team of veterans.</p>
<p>In <em>simulation phase</em> the matches need to be won with the assigned players on the field, against another team. The player controls one of the team players, the one holding the ball a ball, or the one currently near the ball, moving him in eight directions, trying to get the ball, or throwing the ball.</p>
<p>The game is available for 1-2 players.</p>

<p>Finally, after months and months of hard work in the busy metropolis you have decided to allow yourself a vacation on the limpid waters of the south seas where you will be able to engage your favorite sport : <strong>BIG GAME FISHING</strong>!
But natives won't lose a chance to make some money of you: if you don't want your vacation to end in 1 day, you will have to catch not only a considerable amount of fish, but also the kind and the quantity of fish requested at the beginning of each day. If you should fail, you wont be able to pay the cost of your boat and buying gas, bait, etc...</p>
<p>So, renting a boat for approximately $60, you are ready to catch such predator fishes as black marlin, blue marlin, swordfish, or tunny. The gameplay includes the economical and strategical management in the port or open waters and fishing simulation in the sea.</p>
<p>In <em>managerial phase</em> you should buy an equipment necessary for the fishing such as Flares, Batteries, Lines, Fuel, and Sardines, examine the variable weather, set a destination point on the map, and navigate your boat to this point. You should have appropriate amount of fuel to navigate to open waters and between the ports. The biggest fishes are waiting for you in the northern deeper waters, so you will have to make a little money in the coastal areas before venturing to the north. Also the ability to send S.O.S. signal is available in case of very bad situation.</p>
<p>In <em>simulation phase</em> you should mount a line, assign one of five bites, move the rod up/down, accelerate/decelerate the boat, throw a certain number of sardines to attract the fish, and catch the fish to earn the money and honour.</p>

After each ball in the basket, the time-out may be taken, as well as tactical formation may be adjusted.</p>
<p>The game is available for 1-4 players and uses Italian and English languages.</p>

<p>We've all heard the expression "going nowhere fast" but how often has it been simulated in a computer game?  Strap yourself to the keyboard and get ready for indescribable excitement as the player selects one of five inanimate racers -- from a teddy bear to a toaster to the dark horse Chia Pet -- and it goes to the races, burning up the asphalt on a beautiful summer day.  Blink and you might miss the action!</p>

<p>This is a platform-game, where you play as a man who's experiencing a horrible nightmare. And if you die in it, you die for real...</p>
<p>Your mission is to survive long enough to wake up. For every room you visit, another 6 minutes goes by, and at 8:12 the alarm clock will ring, and save your life.</p>
<p>Your secondary objective is to increase your dream-state. You start with a "bad dream", but by killing monsters, and collecting chalices, you can get much worse dreams, like "horrible dream" or "deadly vision". Your dream-state is displayed in text-form at the top of the screen, and does not affect the game in any other way.</p>
<p>This is a horror game, and you will face zombies, bats, ghosts, and other terrifying creatures. If they touch you, you lose one of your five lives. You can collect different items, like guns, crucifixes, clocks, and other stuff. Your inventory can hold up to three items at once.</p>
<p>You can kill some enemies with the gun, but many are immune to it. Crucifixes can freeze enemies, and clocks slows them down.</p>
<p>The game consists of a huge maze of interconnected rooms. It's easy to get lost, and the game is almost impossible to complete, even if you cheat. So this is for anyone who wants a big challenge.</p>

<p>A lone chopper armed with machine guns and bombs must navigate through five missions in order to rescue people and destroy and alien missile factory.</p>
<p><em>Striker</em> is a side-scrolling shooter composed of five missions with different goals in each. The first mission will have you rescue your spies while the second will have to dropping off said spies. The third mission involves picking up cargo and the fourth stranded people. The final mission of the game is to attack the missile development factory and put an end to the alien threat.</p>
<p>During your missions you will be attacked by targets on land such as guns and missile silos and target that fly in a preset pattern. You have unlimited amount of weaponry but will have to pick up fuel in later levels in order to avoid crashing. Fuel is picked up simply by destroying fuel tank on the tunnel base.</p>

<p>This game allows you to play as either the Harlem Globetrotters or their rivals, the Generals, in an exhibition basketball game. The player can choose to have the quarters last from one minute to twelve minutes. Also, if you are playing as the  Harlem Globetrotters you are able to pull off special maneuvers such as a behind the back pass, slam dunk, and a piggy back slam. At certain moments during the game the Harlem Globetrotters team can also interfere with the referee by pulling down his pants and tripping him.</p>

<p>In this isometric action game you are an agent in combining suit with laser helmet, descended to a factory to find and kill another agent Halox, who stole the formula for the bomb MEGATRON and who wanted to sell it to enemies. </p>
<p>You should explore 80 rooms, walking from one room to another. Each room has one entrance and one exit, and it is filled with mechanical enemies and different useful mechanisms such as elevators, teleports, directional platforms, etc. You should move in four directions to avoid the enemies, or you may shoot them to break them for some period of time. One of 5 kinds of combining suits and helmets are available in certain rooms to increase your health energy, which may be decreased by collision with enemies.</p>
<p>The highest score will be saved.</p>

<p><em>The Great Machine</em> is an allegory for thousands of years of cyclical human history (lessons unlearned, doomed to be repeated) embroiled in continuous military warfare and conflict wherever there are people; the cruel teeth of its gears oiled with the blood of young idealists and its furnaces fueled with the defiled bodies of innocent non-combatants. The function of the machine is nothing beyond self-perpetuation of its own antisocial operation. For some reason warfare is <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/historical-battle-specificexact/">a popular theme</a> for games -- likely on account of a sanitized presentation, playing up the glamorous aspect of saving villages by destroying them. This game does not pull these punches.</p>
<p>The player directs the irrelevant choices of a little man caught in the crossfire, compelled by circumstances to serve a tour of duty in his nation's military service and attempt to kill other men such as himself based on orders from his supervising officers, who must have good, albeit undisclosed, reasons for issuing such instructions. The protagonist is assigned the black operation of the assassination of a charismatic cult leader, "Los", whose group's non-aligned activities are undermining the efficiency of his unit's operations in the area.</p>
<p>With some ambivalence, but eager to remain on the right end of the gun, the player heads out into the bleak brutality of a tormented world gone mad, its piebald absurdity underscored by ongoing nightmares and hallucinations either the result of supernatural forces or incipient shell-shock-induced dementia.</p>
<p>Author <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/314463/jonas-kyratzes/">Jonas Kyratzes</a> takes a departure here from the <em>Myst</em>-style 1st-person graphical adventure genre informing his other works of philosophical gaming activism, instead presenting the effects (and the futility) of human agency in the face of the insanity of the trenches through an all-text multiple-choice Choose-Your-Own-Adventure idiom, yielding reams of moody reading -- occasionally breaking from prose into free verse to indicate the stark effects of sudden physical (and gradual mental and emotional) trauma -- between player input opportunities.</p>
<p>Like <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/22594/mercy/">Mercy</a></em> before it, the gameplay here is entirely secondary to the story being told; the author is presenting a morality play about authority and how, as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Mao+Zedong">Mao</a> said, all political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The player is not an author of this story, merely a player on its stage, endlessly going through the meaningless motions, between elusive sparks of genuine hope, of an existential nightmare from which one can't escape -- <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/155525/george-orwell/">Orwell</a>'s "boot, stamping on a human face forever."</p>

<p>As a giant space slug your job is to guard your territory. Random hot-shot space-ship pilots insist on landing on your territory but don't know they're trespassing. As you devour their ships your body will get larger and larger but be careful not to go and eat yourself! Your territory is surrounded by high levels or radiation too so watch out for the borders.</p>
<p>A simple <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/snake-games">Snake</a> clone, <em>Giant Space Slug</em>, uses ASCII graphics and has numbered levels of hardness which the player will select. The higher the level the faster you and the space-ships move.</p>

<p><em>Aggression</em> is a board game that combines elements of checkers and chess. The goal of the game is to move all your tiles to the opposite side of the game board while your computer opponent or your friend awaiting his/her turn does the same with their tiles. You can use your tiles to surround and entrap the opponents tiles forcing them to restart at the beginning with that tile and naturally they can do the same to you.</p>
<p>The game can be played by one or two players, has optional sound, and four levels of difficulty. It is entirely mouse controlled</p>

<p>The Allied forces take on the forces of Germany to gain control of the Suez Canal in <em>African Desert Campaign</em>. Keyboard controls are used to select the unit you'd like to move and when your turn is finished you must await the enemy to make their move.</p>
<p>Playing somewhat like <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/risk-games">Risk</a> the game is won by taking over enemy chips. When your chip is next to an enemy unit you must attack and try to take over their forces. The outcomes of the battles depend on the munitions and supplies available to the attacking and defending unit. When an enemy unit is defeated their supplies become yours. Certain types of terrain will block or hinder the amount of moves you can make while others will make you start the moves from the beginning altogether. When your units get large enough you may choose to split them by using the Separate command and select the unit you'd like to apply it to. The command Reinforce is used to move supplies around within your units.</p>
<p>The game units are controlled with keyboard controls utilizing a menu at the top of the playing field while the graphics are rendered using ASCII graphics.</p>

<p><em>Conquest</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/81/genre-board-game-risk/">Risk clone</a> which uses the same game rules as the original game. The player places his/her army on the given map and must conquer the majority of the lands to win. Attacks can be made to adjacent lands and are made in turns. Once a battle is won the winning player can move their armies into the territory they just won. Eight people can play via modem or shared keyboard or other players can be assigned to the computer's AI. </p>
<p>One variation on the theme this game presents are two unique maps, one very geometric map and one map representing Australia where the entire game is played out in territories of Australia.</p>

<p>The evil overlord Bytor and his supreme wizards have stolen The Ankh. This Ankh is said to have incredible powers if unleashed and in the hands of such an evil would be devastating to the entire galaxy. As Wally, the space flier, your job is to survive the harsh planets you must traverse through and recover The Ankh before they use it to their evil means.</p>
<p><em>Orion Odyssey</em> is a platform action game story told in eight parts. As Wally you must monitor your four stats; health, oxygen, fuel, and ammo while taking on the robots and aliens strewn across and beneath the landscape. You are equipped with a blaster weapon and a jetpack which besides walking around is your primary mode of transportation. </p>
<p>The jetpack is your only means of leaping so keep an eye on that fuel gauge. Your weapons can be upgraded by finding artifacts and pressing the appropriate key to unlocking their powers. Fuel canisters, shields and health power-ups are also laid out all over the landscape you play in. You will also see that there is a Gold gauge which you'll need to collect so that you may purchase necessities from pods you may run into. </p>
<p>Alien and robotic foes aren't your only concern when it comes to keeping your health gauge up as flying too quickly into a wall will also cause damage or may even kill. Flying the jetpack requires practice and skill. A meter gauge shows the amount of inertia you have left so the jetpack will not allow you to fly across the entire level. </p>
<p>Once the artifacts of a certain world have been collected you must return to the teleporter you started at to continue onto the next world. Other worlds will present different terrains and alien species and varying levels of oxygen density so remember to keep an eye on that oxygen gauge.</p>

<p>Jump into an F-18 fighter jet and take on enemies as you cruise over the ocean in <em>Miramar, Jet Fighter Simulator.</em></p>
<p>You'll take off with your jet from a carrier and once you cruise to a required altitude face fierce opponents who want nothing but to shoot you down into the drink. Your instrument panel will help keep you level and ready to attack. The radar will guide you and your sidewinder missiles into the opposition. And remember to watch your gas gauge to see when you should land and refuel. </p>
<p>This game sits somewhere between simulator and arcade shooter by allowing you to select the level of fidelity you'd like over controls.</p>

<p><em>Sextris</em> is one of the infinite versions based on the original <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/tetris">Tetris</a> (or more concretely, a softer version of the contemporary Porntris). As it's name suggests, this game is directed at a mature audience. This is because this version contains several erotic images with celebrities on them. These images will -initially- appear in a covered way as the background of each level, but will slowly be uncovered as you complete lines. A level is passed once the image is fully visible. As the player advances the blocks will fall faster and faster and sometimes the game will even start with some blocks already located on the screen.</p>

<p>A band of fearless dungeon crawlers must seek out <em>The Dragon Sword</em> and confront the dragon Oijngate. <em>The Dragon Sword</em> is the fabled sword which has the power to defeat a powerful creature like Oijngate.</p>
<p><em>The Dragon Sword</em> is an RPG similar to the <a href="/search/?q=Wizardry">Wizardry series</a> of games. You will explore large maps which you view in the first person and fight monsters in turn-based combat. You will create characters by giving them names and choosing their race and class and picking from randomly generated attributes. Then your selected group will dive right into the adventure.</p>
<p>Monster encounters pop up unexpectedly so be ready to fight at any time. Your warrior and mêlée class characters can use an array of weapons against foes while magic casters can likewise use an array of magical spells and weapons. Once in a while you will run into a store where you'll be able to use collected gold and items to trade and purchase items of your choosing.</p>
<p>The thirty levels that you will battle through will not only present combat but will also try to stump you with puzzles. The puzzles may involve literally asking quizzing questions or may involve requiring you to figure out how to open a door or pass a certain obstacle. The maps will also get easier to get lost in as you move up the level and will get lengthier. Character leveling is also done automatically with attributes distributed amongst your team members once they pass a certain experience level.</p>

<p>When your eccentric uncle dies he leaves behind his vast fortune to you. The catch? You've gotta spend one chilling night at his Pseudo-Tudor-Greco-Gothic-Byzantine mansion. The other catch? Well it seems that the laws of space and time don't really apply within its walls. As you roam around his house you'll run into characters and creatures from all over the place and if you survive long enough you'll be greatly rewarded.</p>
<p><em>The House at the Edge of Time</em> is a text adventure which takes place within one house. The usual rules of the text adventures apply in regards to movement and interaction. Movement is made through the various scenes by typing in the directions you'd like to move such as North, South, or N, S for short. Interaction with objects that you "look" at are done by figuring out the vocabulary of the game and applying it by typing simple phrases like "Take flower" or "Pull door". A list of inventory of items you've picked up is also available by typing out inventory.</p>

<p>"Olimpiadas 92: Gimnasia Deportiva" is a control-innovative game grouping the most popular events of the Gymnastic discipline in the Olympic Games of Barcelona '92.</p>
<p>There are four options available in the main menu: choosing number of players (from 1 to 4), selecting team (there are 6 countries available, but your rivals can be from almost everywhere), training, and finally, the Olympic Games.</p>
<p>The way to control our sportsmen is very different from the one of other games of similar characteristics. The basic idea in "Olimpiadas 92" is to make your personage chain several sequences of animations, which would get realized as you click with your mouse in the icon connected with each movement. The score of your performances would depend on the accuracy of your "clicking", meaning that there's an exact moment in which you must realize each action, which is also indicated by the program.</p>
<p>Available events are: Men's and women's vault, high bar, masculine bar, still rings, uneven bars, parallel bars and women's floor.</p>

<p><em>Genghis Khan</em> is basically a strategy game, but not just. A very important part of your ability as governor will depend on your arcade experience when it comes to conquering the territories surrounding Mongolia. You mission will be to invade the Chinese Empire, and for that you must tear down the Great Wall using gunpowder.</p>
<p>Unfortunately it will not be available from the beginning, so you will have to conquer Baghdad where the secrets of gunpowder manufacture are kept, and then dedicate your task in destroying the barrier that prevents you from the victory. But it will not be that easy, you will also have to defeat several enemies of varying difficulty.</p>
<p>The game makes you choose between arcade, strategy or a mixture of both. In the first category you must use the joystick to defeat the owner of the chosen land. The screen turns into a side-scrolling game in which a Mongol warrior, sword in hand, must face the enemy hordes. Each soldier you kill equalizes to five in total, and every blow you receive means a loss of five units of yours.</p>

<p>This is the first game to ever appear titled as "PC Fútbol", although the appearance of the next PC Fútbol made this one to be popularly referred to as "PC Fútbol 2.0", since this next game (<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/34067/pc-futbol-30/">PC Fútbol 3.0</a>), automatically acknowledged "Simulador Profesional de Fútbol" as PC Fútbol 1.0, the root of the series.</p>
<p>As in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20247/simulador-profesional-de-futbol/">Simulador Profesional de Fútbol</a>, here you have the option of taking full control (buying players, contracting publicity, deciding the tickets price, etc) of any of the teams that participated in the Spanish Primera División, this time focusing on the 1993/94 season. Matches would be addressed in a similar way too, you will either play the game yourself, watch it or just see the final result.</p>
<p>This game also included an immense database with pictures and information of all players and clubs of the Spanish national league.</p>

<p><em>Cyber Police</em> is a Final Fight-inspired arcade game set in the future. As a member of Cyber Police, your mission is to maintain the law and order from the evil henchmen of the Blue Scorpion gang, which are trying to sow chaos everywhere they go. To do so, you will have to make your way through the different scenarios that make up the city to try to locate Jemiah, the ruthless leader of the criminal gang. There are several characters with which to carry out your purpose (two robots: Perseus and Ishrall and one man: Duncan Dahoh), each one having its own characteristics.</p>
<p>As in other beat em up's, you will normally fight fist to fist (or kick to kick), but when you defeat your enemies you will be able to carry their weapons until you receive an impact. With one button you will attack and with other you will jump.</p>

<p>Guide your train to safety through the mazes and passageway of <em>TrainBall</em>. Playing somewhat like a pinball game, you control your train with keyboard controls and must use bumpers switches and tunnels to pass the level. Bumpers and switches naturally will change your direction so you must think ahead and dangerous bombs must by avoided at all costs.</p>
<p>Utilizing ASCII graphics, <em>TrainBall</em> also includes a map and train creation tool where you can choose their layouts and colours.</p>

<p>When the pirates of mad Emperor Louis the 30th capture your best friend Jean you must venture through to the 7th Island of Danger to rescue him. By using your heavily armed hovercraft you must blast through the seven islands by destroying the armed and armored missile towers.</p>
<p>The ASCII graphic action shooter game is controlled via keyboard. Your movements are controlled with one section of the keyboard while your shot direction is controlled with another. The islands naturally get better defended and progressively harder to pass but can be cleared with careful strategy and quick reflexes. The missile towers are often protected by buildings which surround it and it takes multiple shots to clear a section of the building. Thankfully one shot is sufficient to destroy the missile tower itself.</p>
<p>The game has different setting for hardness and can be made more of a challenge by raising the speed of enemy missiles and slowing your movement. Alternative to the keyboard controls you can use a joystick to guide your hovercraft while using the keyboard with your other hand to shoot in whichever direction. </p>
<p>The game was sold as shareware. In return for registering the shareware game, and paying the fee, the player was supplied with a code which unlocked more playing options in the shareware game.</p>
<p>There were also three expansion packs that could be purchased:* Islands of Courage - twenty more islands some four times larger than in the base game, more missiles some taking six hits to destroy</p>
<ul>
<li>Islands of Darkness - ten islands shrouded in black mist, nothing can be seen until the mist is cleared/blown away</li>
<li>Islands of Destiny - this allows the player to design their own islands, control the number of missile launchers and more</li>
</ul>
<p>Registered users could also get a secret code that promised unlimited hovercraft and a hint sheet that described forty islands and the tactics that worked best.</p>

<p>You control a young boy called Johnny Burger who plans to visit his cousin Emanuel for two weeks. As he arrives he finds him gone. A scientist, who's also looking for Johnny's cousin, comes by and offers Johnny 500DM (Deutsche Mark) for an experiment. 
Of course, the experiment goes awry. During the procedure a mysterious guy flashes the scientist's memory. The emerging irritation causes the professor to start pushing random buttons, which results in Johnny's transformation as a human pig. After Johnny wakes up the professor is gone, too, as he was kidnapped to the Planet Ladea.</p>
<p>So, Johnny's quest comprises of finding the professor to be transformed back into a normal state and finding out what happened to Emanuel.</p>
<p><em>Mutation of J.B.</em> plays like a usual Point 'n Click comic adventure. At the bottom of the screen you find a selection of commands in German ("Go to", "Talk to", "Look at", "Use", "Take") and your inventory that stores all collected items. The game doesn't include English subtitles.</p>

<p>PC Basket 2.0 is the sequel to PC Basket. This is a managerial game that allows you to take part in the Spanish basketball league as any of the 16 teams that were struggling for the title in the 1993/94 season. You can choose the quintet and also the team tactics, as well as controlling the players (something that was not possible in the first PC Basket). You will dispose of two action buttons during the game: in attack, you can either shot or pass the ball, while in defense, you can also try to steal the ball or block your rivals shot. Another important aspect of the game is its database, including players stats of the ACB league since its beginnings, as well as 93/94 clubs information (budget, stadium...).</p>

<p>You are Mike Gunner, the most effective detective in the country, who has been hired to end with all the criminals of Robbland city, perhaps the most dangerous city on Earth. You must have very warm nerves, very cold head and especially the most prepared to pull the trigger.</p>
<p><em>Mike Gunner</em> is a shooting-gallery <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3475/operation-wolf/">Operation Wolf</a>-style game, requiring the Gun Stick accessory. The player will have to adjust the contrast and brightness of your screen, in order to gain optimum performance.</p>
<p>Thorough the game you will find people who shouldn't shot at: for example kids or policemen, all of them easily identifiable. But be careful, others will appear disguised as peaceful musicians, and in the least expected moment they will show they are not so friendly.</p>

<p>In the XXII century the universe is dominated by two major forces born after decades of major wars: the Empire and the Hark Federation. Being both of them expansionist governments, frictions in their borders are almost constant.</p>
<p>Within the Empire, the biggest power after the emperor himself, are the Mega Corporations, financial partnerships that control every aspect of people's lives. With power of life and death, these Mega-Corp, as they are familiarly known, extend their tentacles by the Cosmos in search of riches to extract or eventually snatch.</p>
<p>The federal system consists in the "adoption" under its tutelage of technologically poor planetary systems in general, although rich in material or manpower that are invariably employed in improving the resources of the originary Hark planets.</p>
<p>"Megacorp" is a conversational adventure with static graphics in which you will take part of the Imperial federation. Your exact mission would be guiding your operative agent to get control of the situation on the GEA-3 planet. You should, helping rebel groups, overthrow the government, now in the hands of The Federation.</p>

The mission is risky but the reward is great, if you make GEA-3 planet be part of the Empire, you will get immensely rich.</p>

<p>The story begins when the detective Pepe Carvalho (or in this case, you), receives a mysterious phone call from Bangkok by an old friend, Teresa Marsé, who is requesting you to come there to her help as she claims some people want to kill her.</p>
<p>With this information, you meet all her family in the travel agency which took her to Bangkok, where his guide informs everyone about what happened: "In Bangkok, Teresa met a young native -Archit- for which she falls in love, but he turns out to be a a diamond smuggler. Teresa has the "great" idea to convince him to steal diamonds of his boss, Jungle Kid, but the latter's son discovers it, Archit and had no other choice but to kill him. Now the whole Thai Mafia pursues them, and it will be difficult for them to escape."</p>
<p>With all this, nobody seems to want to go to in the search for Teresa or hire someone to travel. You get to convince his father that something must be done, and you get chosen as a volunteer after discussing the trip price with the owner of the agency. But he refuses to give you more than 200,000 búths for the travel...</p>
<p>After a long journey by plane you finally arrive in Bangkok, and you do not know where to start looking. You just know that you have to go to the Spanish embassy in Bangkok, where the ambassador will explain in greater depth your mission.</p>
<p>Los Pájaros de Bangkok is a conversational adventure based on the novel of the same title, written by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán.</p>

<p>PC Fútbol 3.0 is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/34028/pc-futbol/">PC Fútbol</a> (already acknowledged by <a href="/search/?q=Dinamic">Dinamic</a> as PC Fútbol 2.0). It includes an updating of each of the aspects of the game according to the 1994/95 season of the Spanish Primera División, including database, line-ups, team information and such.</p>
<p>But not just that. This edition was specially "revolutionary" as it was the first of the series to allow you to buy players from other teams, and also to let you continue playing one season after another, to test if you can get a better position having different players from the start.</p>

<p>Learn the secrets of bass fishing by casting off with Bass Class. In this simulation you will select all the small details that will determine whether you catch the big one or go home empty handed. </p>
<p>Six different rods and 2300 different lure combinations are how specific the details get. You can even choose whether you want to use an outboard motor, trolling motor or paddling to get to where you want on one of the six different lakes in this game. </p>
<p>Once in your location of choice via keyboard controls make your lure/rod selections and cast off using the mouse or keyboard watching out for hazards. Control your line and reel in and maybe you'll catch one of the dozens of different kinds of fish in each lake. LCD Depthfinders and other accessories will help you locate the best place to cast off. After fishing in the given time you must make it back to the weighing station and get your catch weighed against the AI players'  catch. Only then will you know if you've learned anything about bass fishing.</p>

<p>Crazy Park is a place not recommended for people who want to have a peaceful existence, because the murderers, thieves and other thugs converted it in their home. But of course, as in every other story where some bad guys take a place which doesn't belong to them, there will appear a guy ready to end with them.</p>
<p><em>Trigger</em> is a first-person view game where you have to make use of your Gun Stick accessory. The game has a side scroll by which you will see a multitude of enemies emerging. Some of them will shot at you, others will launch grenades, knives... there will even be exhibitionists. But don't go too fast, there will be other persons to which you should not shot at, otherwise points would be reduced from your marker. Also, there will also appear some objects that will recharge your ammunition.</p>

<p>You're Carlitos, the usual school boy who still has to hear the recommendations of his mother. Everything was going fine until someday you left your home and found a deserted street, but almost instantly you heard the sound of a grenade exploding, and some bad guys with a shotgun. You think of it as a nightmare, but then a bullet almost hits you. Just then you find a pistol in your bag, if these dudes are real, why shouldn't it be real too?</p>
<p><em>Solo</em> is another of the Opera games designed to be used with the Gun Stick, quite similar on its development to Opera's Trigger. Also, in spite of this game's solitary name, there will be the option to play a 2 players cooperative mode.</p>

<p><em>Battle Fleet</em> is a <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/battleship">Battleship</a> clone wherein you must place your five naval vessels on a grid while your computer or friend via modem does the same. After all the ships are placed you can now take turns trying to determine the location of each other's fleet and sinking them by taking well thought-out shots at the enemy grid. If you've placed a hit you will be notified of it on your enemy grid and can now try and guess which way the enemy ship is placed and sink them. Hence, the rules of the game are identical to the Milton Bradley game. The only differences are the grid numbering and some ship names.</p>

<p>Loosely based on <em>The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant</em> by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/314542/stephen-r-donaldson/">Stephen R. Donaldson</a>, <em>The Land</em> is a role-playing game where the player will create a character and explore towns, villages and dungeons of <em>The Land</em>. The actual plot of <em>The Land</em> is revealed to the player by playing through the game and no prologue is given. </p>
<p>Creating a character is an important part of this game just like many other role-playing games. After picking the age and gender of the character, the player will then determine their class. The classes of <em>The Land</em> are: </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bloodguard of the Haruchai race</strong>, who do not sleep and are fearless and will run into combat without armor or weapons;</li>
<li><strong>the Giants</strong> who naturally deliver really strong hits;</li>
<li><strong>Lilianrill</strong>, who are devotional to woods and cast wood spells;</li>
<li><strong>Loreslaat</strong>, who are the most powerful but hardest to advance; </li>
<li><strong>Rhadhamaerl</strong>, who are devoted to stones and cast incredible stone based spells;</li>
<li><strong>the Ramen</strong>, who are tenders of the Ranyhyn the great horses; and</li>
<li><strong>Warwards</strong>, who are the basic fighter class.</li>
</ul>
<p>All characters are given a <em>service</em> which is their oath to follow throughout the course of the game. If a character behaves against their service they will not advance as well and will be slow to level up.</p>
<p>The action of traveling is the same for the combat system. The top-down view of the game allows the player to see explored and unexplored areas. Battles and dungeons are generated randomly. As the player explores the land, the player may suddenly find oneself on a battle field. The enemy will take as many steps as the player does so if the player chooses to run and fight another day it is possible to do so. The player uses a main melee attack and may also bring down a list of spells. Loot left behind after a battle is picked up in the same manner by walking over it. Items left behind and available for purchase or trade are; food, magic items, armor, and weapons.</p>

<p>Silent Shadow is an arcade with a small aerofighter as protagonist. The objective of the game is to get unharmed with maximum discretion a huge bomber to destroy the enemy fleet in the Persian Gulf. To do so the player has a modern and sophisticated fighter whose power, speed and ability can get to create false images on the radar, making it worthy of the Silent Shadow nickname.</p>
<p>To achieve the goal 4 phases must be overcome (airbase enemy, city, desert and the enemy fleet). The idea is not to depart too much from the bomber to avoid being hit by enemy fire, being destroyed and ending the game, but neither should you go too  slow because you could clash with the bomber, then losing the few opportunities you have. Expansionary pumps are available that can destroy all enemies in sight. The game allows collaborative game where up to 2 players can take one aerofighter.</p>

<p><em>La Espada Sagrada</em> is an action game that consists of three phases, the third being more arcade-oriented than the first two. The protagonist Atahualpa Yupanqui aspires to obtain The Sacred Sword, and problems through the two early stages must be solved in order to find it. Then, in a third phase full of action, the hero takes advantage of that sword to be victorious.</p>
<p>The two early stages have no side scrolling, while the third one is an arcade with horizontal scroll and non-stop action and big sprites. To access levels 2 and 3 the player needs a code, which is provided once the previous stage is finished.</p>

<p>Poli Diaz is a boxing game protagonized by the Spanish boxing star of the late eighties, Policarpio Díaz. This game uses an isometric perspective where two boxers revolve around the center of the ring, with no possibility of going back, and we observe it from a corner of the quadrilateral. The options menu is the usual: one or two player mode, choose the control type and the number of assaults and lenght of the same.</p>
<p>Our first opponent will be a sparring, that without offering much opposition, will allow us to learn about the control of the game. After this weak opponent is defeated, you will have to fight (in order) for the titles of Spain, Europe and the World against other opponents.</p>
<p>"Poli Diaz" has two different modes of control, one of attack and other of defence. In the former, and with the appropriate combination of hits and movement, we will attack the contrary, and in the second we will cover of the  punches that undoubtedly fall over us. In this context, using a joystick could be recommendable.</p>

<p>Another planet, another crash landing. Sadly this time it's quite hostile due to being a security hive. To make matters worse you're without beer. Your only hope of rescue is to telepathically control your somewhat dimwitted clones and send them out on a rocket ship off the planet. Once off the planet they just might be able to get someone to come back and rescue you.</p>
<p>Controlling the clones is somewhat simple since your link machine has been a bit on the damaged side after the crash. Give them two word directions and they'll do your bidding. Sometimes they might not understand what you say so maybe you might need to re-word it. You can give them walking directions with simply typing N for North, D for Down, etc. On top of this you can give them directions for interaction such as "Open Door" or "Take Berries" etc. With these simple directions you must guide a clone to enter the security nest, activate the ancient rocket ship and blast off of the planet. If they fail to do so you can forget about ever having beer again.</p>
<p><em>Another Lifeless Planet and Me With No Beer</em> is a text adventure game set on a distant planet with limited ASCII graphics used to illustrate alien life-forms, objects and other special items you run into. The goal of the game is to get rescued off the planet with the risk of death being only a small typo away.</p>

<p><em>RACE!</em> to the finish against miniature opponents in this top-down arcade racing game. Pick from one of the twenty levels of the game and play against the computer or up to three friends via same keyboard. Obstacles abound on the levels of <em>RACE!</em>. From the typical oil slicks to the non-typical tornadoes. Performing well in the races will increase the speed of your car, traction and acceleration. The better performance will also speed up the helicopter which comes to your rescue when you crash.</p>
<p>The game also includes an easy editor for players to create their own tracks and add their own hazards to existing levels.</p>

<p>Cobra Mark IV multi-purpose General Contact Vehicle is an astonishing stellar vehicle. It's got beam lasers mounted up front and at the rear and is loaded with missile launchers. It's highly maneuverable and quick to react you your every move. Naturally a fighter like this will give you a great advantage. Unfortunately your opponent is flying the exact same thing. Quick reactions will determine the outcome of this duel in outer-space involving up to four opponents. Be careful of other ships flying about and mind those asteroids.</p>
<p><em>LineWars</em> is an space-fighter sim that takes place in the far reaches of another galaxy. You control your ship via mouse or keyboard from a first person perspective. By using the number keys you can look around the different viewpoints of your ship and of course will have to do so to mount those rear beams. Your weapons are the aforementioned laser beams and missiles. The missiles only fire when locked on a target but the lasers can be used to blast meteors, passing law-abiding space ships and just to waste your energy. Your energy (shields) and lasers have a limited gauge. Once the gauge lowers to zero for your lasers you will have to wait a few seconds for them to refill. This naturally doesn't apply to your energy. Once those babies come down it's just a few inches of hull between you and oblivion. Missiles are limited to four shots but there is the off chance that your missile launcher will jam at which point you must engage in battle without them.</p>
<p>The game receives it's name not from the linear polygonal graphics but from fighting "on-line". That is, phone line. Multi-player battles can be fought via modem between four players but there's always the computer if friends are lacking. Settings of the game are adjustable in that you can select friction and speed at which you react and the number of opponents fighting.</p>

<p><em>Kurtan</em> is an old clone of <a href="/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a>, developed by a joint US-Georgian (former USSR) venture. </p>
<p>The game was widely circulated in the post-Soviet space. It comprises a series of puzzles that must be solved by moving all the randomly placed crates into their target spots. Some control issues exist where a single keystroke would cause the player character to move several spaces instead of one, making the game exceedingly challenging. </p>
<p>The main character has been replaced with a stereotypical Georgian loader, and maze designs are slightly different than in the original. The game uses the 16 color high-res 640x350 EGA mode.</p>

<p>Simulating the struggle between the nations of the <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/star-trek-variants">Star Trek</a> universe, <em>Begin: A Tactical Starship Simulation</em> puts you in charge of a fleet or a single ship against adversaries of your choosing. Four nations are available for the player to choose from; Federation, Romulan, Klingon, and Orion. After selecting who you will play and who the computer will play as you will then need to select the ships involved. This step allows the player to adjust the difficulty of the game to their choosing. If you'd like you can have a one-on-one battle or if you'd rather have an all out war between nine ships on each side. It's also possible to have a battle where the odds are stacked in your favour or on theirs with completely adjustable numbers up to nine on each side. After the number has been decided upon you will have to select just which specific ships are engaged. The choice is yours from hulking freighters to agile birds of prey. Once all the variable have been decided on it is time to do battle.</p>
<p>Concentrating more on the various surprises of battle <em>Begin: A Tactical Starship Simulation</em> does not allow players to place their ships wherever they like. Your ships and your enemies' ships are placed at random places as shown on a small thumbnail and specified through written coordinates on the main play/command window. From this point on the strategies are all up to you. You may choose which weapons to fire with, where to move, and even choose to self destruct. Moves are made by typing out what you'd like to do, for example; "TORPEDO" or "TOR" for short (the game understands three letter summary commands). At this point you will be prompted which bays to fire from or what spread to use (for PHASERS) etc. After this the game will perform the commanded move and the turn will be over. A summary of events and outcomes of the turn will be listed and a read-out of ship status will be updated. Random events such as weapon malfunction are possible and you may get reports from other parts of your ship by typing in the right command. Reports available include; Casualties, Engine Temperatures, and lots more.</p>
<p>Battles continue until one entire fleet is destroyed and a report is given at the end as to how you have performed.</p>

<p>Watch out for those balls as they come flying at you in <em>Tommy's Gorilla Balls</em>. This simple arcade game's objective is to move your player around the game board with the keyboard and avoid balls that are coming at you from the four corners. By getting balls to collide into each other you will gain points and if you get hit with balls you lose. Challenge is added to a player who can continually avoid balls by a shrinking game board. The longer you last against balls the smaller the game board gets. A high-score table records your points and time of play and is displayed when you are finally hit with balls.</p>

<p>It's you versus the meteors in <em>Tommy's Meteors</em>. Try to survive a barrage of meteor showers and rack up the points in this simple arcade game. The meteors fall from the top of the screen and you must dodge them by moving your character around with the keyboard. You can move anywhere on the screen you wish.</p>
<p>Your only defense against falling meteors are the bunkers. But everytime you walk through a bunker you will clear a path through it, weakening your defenses. If you last long enough a new bunker may replace a weakened one but with the drawback that it will crush you when it arrives. The meteors will leave behind them a line of radiation and you must avoid these as well since they will subtract from points you've earned. The longer you last the higher the points you'll get.</p>

<p><em>We All Need Extra Speed</em> is an unofficial add-on for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2177/the-need-for-speed/">The Need for Speed</a> that includes more than 500 amateur tracks, which were initially available online prior to 1997.

You can also choose between the modalities of men's or women's tennis, to take part either in a single match or a world championship. The game has a large amount of special effects intended to make game as much similar to reality as possible, as for example the curved movement of the ball.</p>

<p><em>Thunder Offshore</em> is a game that mixes futuristic motor boat racing simulation with a Wipeout-esque touch regarding the ways in which you could disfavour your rivals. It's futuristic, as it takes place in the third millennium, a time where motor boats can dive not just in water, but also in lava, acid and all kinds of dangerous substances. You can test your abilities in no less than 15 circuits, in which you will need to face precipices, make incredible jumps and even immerse in water as if you were inside a submarine. There are at least 10 available weapons (from lasers to torpedoes) to satisfy your most anti-fair play inclinations, but beware, your rivals could use them against you, too. Also, if you're in the mood of playing against humans, there's also a multiplayer mode, which works either by IPX, local network or regular internet connection.</p>

<p>PC Rally is a rally arcade racing game very similar in looks to <a href="/search/?q=Gaelco">Gaelco</a>'s <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/63113/world-rally-championship/">World Rally Championship</a> (1993), except for the fact that in PC Rally the car sprite is much bigger. There are three game modes: training, single race and championship. The first two will be useful to practice in any of the 30 circuits, while the last one is where the serious stuff begins.</p>
<p>In the championship mode you will first have to choose difficulty (easy, normal or hard) and the circuit where you want to start (as in real life, each circuit will be also divided in ten parts). Finally, you will have to choose your car, which will be either a Toyota Celica or a Lancia Delta HF Integrale, whom depending on your economical gains after the races, will be upgradeable.</p>

<p><em>Beasts</em> is an adventure game with a horror-themed sci-fi story but most of it is only suggested, not shown. The game is a classical adventure game, in color. The view is in the 1st person, so you seen what the character sees, in a frame that takes a quarter of the screen.</p>
<p>You can interact with the scene using three different actions: look, use (or pick) and the inventory. You can then get description of items, usable objects or commands of the scene, and get clues to solve the few puzzles of the game. As you can pick objects from the scene, you can use them later elsewhere by using the inventory icon. All controls are mouse driven, the keyboard is not used.</p>
<p>At the beginning of the game, you are woken up by a loud scream and will have to figure what's going on in your mansion. Soon, you will face the horror that is set there, and the hideous Beasts that are now in your house.</p>

<p>Your mission is straight-forward. Destroy as many enemy ships as you can and try not to die.

At your disposal are the following tools; radar, sonar, anti-missile weapons, radio jammers, and of course your ordnance.</p>
<p>Your view screen shows two main windows with one devoted to our ship's status and one command menu where you give orders and receive notes about what is happening around you. Information is constantly being updated as to your ships defenses and weapons as well as the position of enemies and their missiles. The game-play is turn based and you can try and enter as many commands as you like in the given time period. As with many simulation games there are repercussions to damages you will receive from malfunctioning radars to weapon arrays. Graphics are largely non-existent and almost everything except for the title screen are text based so making your own written charts may aid you in successfully completing your mission.</p>

To make your work more complex, there will be some flying enemies that will modify the trajectory of your ball and in the worst of the cases even shot at you, thus reducing your energy bar. In order to avoid being defeated by these creatures, you have one laser which just one projectile that recharges itself occasionally, so you will have to use it wisely too.</p>

<p>This is a collection of three mini-games designed to drill in some basic reading and typing skills to the young microcomputer user of the early '80s. The first of the three games (each with four skill levels, demanding faster reflexes) presents the player with falling letters which must be typed correctly before hitting the bottom of the screen... and eventually the game's mascot floats down defying the player to type in an entire <em>word</em>. The second game takes word-typing as a given skill, as the player is now in charge of typing in the full names of icons of common household objects gradually floating down the screen. In the third game, an object is named on the bottom of the screen and the player must punch in the correct number corresponding to the object's icon, displayed on screen.</p>
<p>The second and third games have bonus rounds whose gameplay is as the regular rounds, except that the icons are now partially obscured, demanding a certain exercise of player memory faculties.</p>

<p>The game uses a modified engine from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/17924/mike-singleton/">Mike Singleton's</a> previous effort <a href="/search/?q=Lords+of+Midnight+III">Lords of Midnight III: The Citadel</a>. Although the <a href="/search/?q=Lords+of+Midnight">Lords of Midnight series</a> were all hybrid games with elements of strategy and role-playing in them, <em>Ring Cycle</em> plays as a straight action/adventure. The player can choose between first and third-person camera modes, and has to manage Siegmund's health and dispose of enemies efficiently to prevent being resurrected and placed back in the centre of the gameworld, losing most of the inventory items in the process; quest items, however, stay once obtained. The soundtrack consists of approximately 25 minutes of instrumental extracts from Wagner's Ring, arranged and produced specifically for the game.</p>

<p><em>Pee &amp; Gity Special</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56293/pee-gity/">Pee &amp; Gity</a>. Visually, the game is nearly identical to its predecessor. The two heroes also retain their moves and abilities. However, the sequel allows players to move the protagonists through a scrolling stage step-by-step after all enemies on the screen have been eliminated, similarly to more typical brawlers such as <a href="/search/?q=%E3%83%80%E3%83%96%E3%83%AB%E3%83%89%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B4%E3%83%B3">Double Dragon</a>, and unlike the predecessor with its fixed screens. </p>
<p>The gameplay follows closely the standards of this subgenre of fighting games: up to two players fight wave after wave of enemies, clearing the screen to move on, restoring their health by breaking objects that hide energy boosts, until reaching the final portion of each stage that ends with a boss battle. The buttons for each player (attack, jump, and special move) can be remapped at the options screen.</p>

<p><em>Spacewar</em> is a shareware <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Spacewar">Spacewar!</a> variant. Two spaceships, controlled either by human or by robot, battle it out in a fight to the death.</p>
<p>The spaceships' weapons of attack are phasers for short range and photon torpedos for long range, both of which use up the energy bar; if this bar is drained, you can't attack. As defense there is the impulse engine to move, as well as a cloak and hyperspace to jump to a random location, all of which use energy also.</p>
<p>To alter gameplay, when switching on gravity the ships gravitate towards the centre of the screen. Photon torpedos are affected by gravity in the same way as the ships. Also, you can add a planet in the centre of the screen, which your ship can crash through, draining your shield energy bar.</p>
<p>When a ship's shield energy is all gone, one shot or planet collision will cause the ship to explode, making the surviving ship the winner of the game.</p>

<p><em>Eracha</em> is a platform game in which you play a caveman. You go around killing ghosts and other creatures to get to the end of each level. You have a club to kill the monsters and you can also pick up different weapons you can throw.</p>
<p>The controls are very easy. You use the cursor keys to move, up to jump, control to use your club, alt to throw an item and space to switch through your throwing items. There are eight levels to play in total.</p>

<p>As in the first game in Edmark's Early Learning series, <a href="/search/?q=millies-math-house">Millie's Math House</a>, <em>Bailey's Book House</em> is an educational game designed for younger children to use. The interface is completely point-and-click, and instructions are given verbally, repeatable as needed.</p>
<p>The player is taken to the main screen where Bailey sits reading in a chair; around the room are various objects and furniture that lead the player to the activities.</p>
<p>Each activity has two modes; Explore and Discover and Question and Answer. The first mode encourages the player to click around and experiment, emphasizing that he is in charge. In Question and Answer mode, which is entered by clicking the animal inside the picture frame, a character will ask the player to perform tasks related to the current area. The descriptions below apply to the Question and Answer mode:<em> Edmo &amp; Houdini - Edmo the Clown will direct the player to make Houdini act out a preposition (go </em>over* the doghouse, for example); the player selects the correct word from an on-screen list. Edmo and Houdini's roles can be switched.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Letter Machine - the giraffe asks the player to find a specific letter, after which the letter is read aloud and a brief animation plays, using words beginning with that letter in a sentence.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Read-A-Rhyme - The player is asked to complete a traditional rhyme with a rhyming word.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Make-A-Story - The player selects from a number of options to create a printable story, that Bailey will also read aloud. There is no Question and Answer mode for this activity.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Kid Cards - creative play, where the player can create a printable card using ready-made greetings and picture stamps; parents can set up printing options for this activity.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Three-Letter Carnival - Millie the Cow asks the player to choose a rhyming word from a group of pictured items until they fill a carnival car.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>My Friend - Jenny the Inchworm reads aloud a description of a friend and asks the player to supply a missing word.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The Windows edition was updated in 1995 with the addition of the last two activities.</p>
<p>There are several Adult options available by pressing Ctrl/Alt + A (Option/Command + A on a Mac) from the main screen; the parent can disable printing, adjust volume, hide the exit button, turn off music, and set up single-switch input for a special needs child. Additionally, there are printing options that apply only to the storybook activity, the letter machine, and Kid Cards.</p>
<p>The educational focus of this game is on pre-reading and reading skills, developing the child's understanding of letters and the sounds they make, how words relate to pictures and affect meaning. Exploration and creativity are encouraged; there are no penalties for wrong answers in this game.</p>

<p>In the future, there is no violence. Instead, people play sports, one of which is Ball Blaster: a one-on-one soccer-like game played in hovercraft. Not exactly like soccer, since in Ball Blaster, the goals move, the arena is oddly shaped, and money earned by making goals can be used to buy weapons or powerups. These allow the player to more easily take the ball from the opponent, as well as protect himself from having the ball taken from him, or otherwise obstruct the opponent.</p>
<p>Extra money is earned by winning the matches more quickly, which can be accomplished by making goals from a greater distance--goals ordinarily score one point, but goals from a distance score two. Five points are required to win each match.</p>

<p>The plot of the drama, <strong>“Lola huele bien y adora el marisco”</strong> <em>(Lola smells good and loves seafood)</em>, is simple. The astral projection player finds on a beach during his summer vacation is a woman. He wants to practice sex with her with brazen manners initially. She also looks forward to practice sex, but with feelings. If things untwist as it is hoped, astral projection should gradually change her mentality so that, finally, both enjoy a lot.</p>
<p>The game is a text adventure without graphics, which uses the <em>Advent V1.00 4KT</em> engine introduced in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/324393/stephen-morphet/">Stephen Morphet's</a> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Through+the+DOS+Window">"Through the DOS Window"</a> (c 1992). Typing "verb+noun", one of eight directions, etc., you should perform different actions, move between locations, and talk to different characters. Number of game turns may be examined as well as game state may be saved or restored.</p>
<p>The game is made and played in Spanish.</p>

<p>This is an unofficial add-on for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>, containing 150 maps for the Global Defense Initiative and 100 maps for the Brotherhood of Nod. The CD also includes several save-game editors, patches, cheats and hints. None of these maps or editors were particularly designed for this add-on.</p>

<p>While Turboraketti was <em>The Game</em> that gave birth to the "cave flier" genre that grew incredibly popular especially in Finland in the 90's, AUTS was a simple, yet elegant clone of Turboraketti for PC's that launched a whole horde of further cave flier clones and cave flier inspired games, a trend that went on nearly for a whole decade.</p>
<p>AUTS (Finnish for "ouch") is a 2-4 player side scrolling game on split screen, where players control V-shaped space ships and try to destroy each other with bullets and a secondary equipped gun that can be chosen from an arsenal of two dozen imaginative weapons. Players can recharge their energy and switch weapons on landing pads spread throughout the levels. Levels were bitmap images with a key-color which indicated a space where the ships can fly. A dedicated color from the palette for water was also included, but water didn't flow as in some more modern cave fliers (like in Wings). Players were able to construct new levels with a tool that converted bitmap images into a format understood by the game.</p>

<p>The beautiful vistas of farmlands, forests, mountains and deserts that greet you upon your arrival on Faland does little to calm your nerves about how you arrived at this strange land. Considering how dangerous it is with all the demons, monsters, wild animals and renegades running around you know you have only one thing you must do. Get back home.</p>
<p>The farm settlement of Or'gn is where your journey home begins. You and up to three players take turns trying to reach home while scoring as many points as possible. Since the journey is dangerous you may die but you will have multiple chances to continue your quest at a cost of demerit points. You must examine many items, talk to the inhabitants and solve side-quests. Arm yourself well and do battle with the enemies lying in wait. Earn ralls, the currency of choice around these parts, by finding treasure or trading commodities with shopkeepers. Raise your status high enough and you just may find your way back home.</p>
<p>Utilizing a rich back story <em>FallThru</em> is a interactive-text role playing game played in turns or alone. The player can communicate, trade and earn money in the ultimate goal of leveling their character up enough to finish the quest. The player may save their game at any point to continue later or to pass the game to another player. Dying will cost points but allows players to pick up where they last saved.</p>

<p>Your remote controlled Gemini tank is a powerful weapon. Battle enemies on remote planets and try to kill three of their tanks before they destroy yours. Drive your tank with the arrow keys and shoot with the space bar. Check your targeting maps and charts on the bottom of the screen to home in on your enemy and blast them to bits. Remember to keep an eye on your damage meter because otherwise it'll be your bits that's blasted. </p>
<p><em>Gemini-2</em> is a sequel to <em>Gemini</em> but is very similar to the original game. Identical to the first game with a Telegamming mode which allows you to take on human opponents across phone lines while the new practice mode allows you to take on computer controlled enemies to get warmed up.</p>

<p>Utilizing simple graphics <em>Vegas Pro Video Poker</em> simulates the popular video poker machines found in Las Vegas. The type of game played here is Five-Card-Draw where five cards are dealt to the player and he/she must choose from these which they would like to discard and re-draw as by default you hold all the cards. You are given $500 to start your game and can bet up to $5 on each hand.</p>
<p>A training and set-up option is available where the player can set rewards given and bets accepted in order to manage money or to simulate different machines one may find in casinos.</p>

<p><em>Legends of Murder</em> is a fantasy/role-playing/murder mystery game. In Volume 1 of the series you, <em>Inspector</em>, have been summoned to a small castle near the harbor city of Erdwyn to investigate the murder of the King. Hired by the advisor of the deceased King, an elf named Ash, you set foot in the castle after a long journey across the sea, and the game begins...</p>
<p>The ultimate purpose in the game is to discover the murderer of the King. The character is walking on a tiny map sized in 1/5 of the screen, and when he comes inside new room, the description is written. There are numerous riddles and puzzles to solve along the way, as well as many people to meet and places to explore. It is very important that you talk to everyone you encounter, search all rooms of the castle you enter, and make note of what you learn for later reference.</p>
<p>The <em>Inspector</em> (of Fighter/Mage class) has a number of personal attributes, common for RPGs, which affect the play of the game. Spells must be learned from special books. The higher a character's level, the more powerful the spell he can learn.</p>

<p><em>Aggravation</em> is a board game where the point is to bring your chips back to home base after going around the game board. This game uses ASCII graphics to display the game board and allows for up to four players to play in turn. Up to three of these players can be controlled by the computer. </p>
<p>After rolling a six or one a player may place one of their four chips on to the game board and try to traverse it and head back home to a safe base. Landing on another player will mean that that player must take that chip back and restart with it by rolling a one or six. Rolling a six allows the player to roll again and players may not jump over other chips of their own. Therefore although named <em>Aggravation</em> this game, unlike the board game of the same name, plays and looks more like the board game <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/sorry">Sorry.</a></p>

<p>Set in a remote 19th century village, <em>The Romantic Blue</em> is a love story and adventure game with a horror theme.</p>
<p>It seems the town of ShadowCrest is under the spell of the Evil Sisterhood and its High Priestess Morella. Surrounded by ever-growing graveyards and engulfed in darkness, ShadowCrest's young girls are bound to serve the High Priestess upon their 18th birthday. All others are captured and enslaved by the order against their will and exist in a zombie-like state.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that love and marriage are forbidden, Miranda, one of the young girls of ShadowCrest, has fallen in love with Jack, who is one of the captives. Her despair grows each night as she listens to him play the piano in the distance. She vows to free him from the clutches of the Evil Sisterhood, but she cannot do this on her own. Having learned dark magic from the gypsies, she summons the player to help her.</p>
<p>Players must search the dark tunnels, foreboding passageways and eerie crypts to find the tools needed to free Jack. At the magic shop or blacksmith's barn, purchase potions or a weapon with money found while exploring. Dispel ghastly creatures which block the paths. Find many keys to unlock new areas and doors, and solve various other types of puzzles.</p>
<p>Even though the use of weapons is sometimes necessary, the game is an adventure without any action segments. Flashback cutscenes bring the story of misery and terror to life. Spooky background music and creepy sound effects are included to increase the tension and suspense. Word commands are used as part of the interface.</p>
<p>Several plastic spiders, a map, a story book, an instruction manual and several walkthroughs are included in the package.</p>

<p><strong>Koolah</strong> is an English spelling of the Finnish word 'kuula' meaning the 'metal ball', that can't be squeezed and is used in the game as main protagonist.</p>
<p>The game's idea was taken from a children's board game, where one tries to guide a metal ball through a wooden maze without touching the ball. The ball is controlled with two knobs on the side of the maze. One of the knobs leans the maze horizontally and the other vertically. The route through the maze is drawn on it, but there are holes along the route that easily swallow the ball. </p>
<p>While the children's version used knobs, this computer version uses arrow keys. Also different mazes, scoring, and time limits for the mazes were added to take advantage of computer technology. So in this game player tries to guide the ball through the maze to the goal before the time runs out.</p>
<p>If the 'koolah' falls into a hole, player gets one point for each hole successfully left behind. If the time runs out before player reaches the goal, player gets as many points as there are holes in that maze. But if player manages to clear the maze in the given time, s(he) gets 150 points plus the remaining time is turned into points. The more time player has left, the more points s(he) gains.</p>
<p>Top ten high score list shows the best players.</p>

<p><em>Sands of Fire</em> takes you to the scorching deserts of Northern Africa, where you drive one of the available Allied tanks against the German forces of Erwin Rommel during the events of World War II. </p>

3. Four for British Tanks (Matilda, Crusader): <em>Taking of Tobruk</em>, <em>Operation Crusader</em>, <em>The Fall of Tobruk</em>, <em>El Alamein</em></p>
<p>Before the simulation starts, you examine the map of the battle area and your current orders for the scenario and adjust your formation and supplies. During the simulation, you take control of the lead tank in a battalion of up to five tanks. You control your own tank via three first person views (Driver, Commander, and Gunner), and also dictate the formation and tactics of your team mates.</p>
<p>Statistics and points achieved will be shown at the end of each scenario and will be saved for progress of your career.</p>

<p><i>The Nine Lives of Secret Agent Katt</i> is a role playing game with adventure and action elements mixed in. Your team consists of 4 spies, each with their own talents, tools and weapons: Katt (the leader), Tia, Roco and Mad Dog. Your primary mission: to recover stolen documents from a fortified secret laboratory and make it out alive.</p>
<p>Adventure type puzzles involve choosing the proper team member, actions and inventory objects to use. Some objects can be combined to create an entirely new item. Action comes into play when the team is confronted by the facility's guards and other perpetrators who have weapons of their own that can cause damage. When the health bar of a particular agent reaches zero, that team member will die. If the team's leader, Katt, dies, the game ends prematurely.</p>
<p>The game is played in first person and actions are performed by clicking on the various command icons. The screen is divided into various blocks: Current scene, Available Exits, and Iconic Commands. The commands include look/search, move, use, save &amp; load, etc. plus the ability to get instructions (hints) on your next move from headquarters. The agents' pictures appear underneath with their health bars and current inventory. At the very bottom is a text box with a description of the scene or action performed.</p>
<p>The game uses an updated version of the engine used in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/34940/last-half-of-darkness/">Last Half of Darkness</a>. It was included as a bonus in early shipments of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/34947/last-half-of-darkness-shadows-of-the-servants/">Last Half of Darkness: Shadows of the Servants</a> game.</p>

All you've gotta do is probably gather some bits and pieces lying around inside that ship while trying really hard to avoid certain death. </p>
<p>Since you're not in the best of shapes to be traipsing around an alien ship you can look death in the eye and use the clone maker aboard the ship which will generate a new you every time you're offed.

<p>DBTL is a promotional manager game for the 10th anniversary of Down By The Laituri, a Finnish annual music festival in the city of Turku.</p>
<p>The player is given free hands to organize the next DBTL starting from booking real bands to perform, setting up stages, advertising budgets, ticket costs and taking in account the weather conditions.</p>
<p>The game was designed to be a simple ad, and thus it isn't a very deep simulation. A normal "round" consists of setting up the festival and pressing the Go button after which the player is presented with a diagram showing how well the festival succeeded. Success in the game is directly measured by profits.</p>

<p>V-Wing is one of the numerous AUTS and Turboraketti clones, a caveflier, which would have been forgotten long ago without its new features.</p>
<p>The game follows the tradition of cavefliers: V-shaped ships drawn with two lines fly around in imaginary platform landscapes and try to shoot each other into pieces with an imaginative weapon arsenal. There are platforms to land on and recharge and switch weapons and repair the blows the ship has taken.</p>
<p>The biggest changes to AUTS are "flowing" water, the water remains stationary (as in most games of this genre) but it pushes the ship to a desired direction, so pipe systems can be created. The environment gets destroyed in a neater fashion and the ships don't get stuck so easily into single pixels, and the ships can collide - actually some of the weapons are based on this feature. Other superb features include ejecting a ship, teamplay, altering air viscosity, gravity, etc...</p>

<p>Another installment of <em>Spy's Adventures</em> is set in Europe this time. And as other games in the series, it is an educational adventure game similar to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/47/carmen-sandiego-series/">Carmen Sandiego series</a> of games.</p>
<p>Jewel thief and smuggler extraordinaire, Dr. Xavier Tortion (aka Dr. X), is somewhere in Europe along with numerous jewels he's stolen. Your job is to find the jewels and locate Dr. X! </p>

Clues will be left behind by friendly agents and indicate where jewels are located. When you will come across an informant, he should be bribed with money or jewels to receive a clue, where Dr. X is. You only have 3 guesses to uncover Dr. X's hideout until the end of the game. If you are successful in your mission, you are given an efficiency rating; the fewer turns you can locate Dr. X in and the more jewels recovered, the better your score will be.</p>
<p>The game is available for one player, as well as two game modes for multiple players - cooperative "spy network" or "spy against spy". The progress may be saved and restored later. The best scores will be stored in top list.</p>

<p><strong>La escoba</strong> (<em>Broom</em>) is an electronic version of known Spanish card game of the same name. </p>
<p>This variant of <em>La escoba</em> is made for two players and 40 card Spanish deck is used. It has suits of Coins, Cups, Batons and Swords, the cards of each suit being 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, "la sota" (Jack), "el caballo" (Horse) and "el rey" (King). Each card has their face values, except "la sota" (8), "el caballo" (9) and "el rey" (10), for the purpose of capturing.</p>
<p>During opening deal three cards are dealt face down to each player, and after everyone has their three cards, four additional cards are dealt face-up on the table. The remaining cards are placed in a face down stack by the dealer ready to be dealt later.</p>
<p>The gameplay is flown in turns. A turn consists of playing one card face up to the table, which may capture one or more table cards. In case of a capture, both the played card and the captured card(s) are taken and stored face down in front of player that made the capture, like a trick. If there is no capture the played card remains face up on the table. Once all the players have played all three of their cards, the dealer deals three new cards to each player (but none to the table) and the play continues. This procedure is repeated until the pack is exhausted. When everyone has played their last three cards, any cards remaining face up on the table are taken by the last player that made a capture. This does not count as an <em>escoba</em>. The points scored by both sides are then totalled and the pack is reshuffled and passed to the next dealer for a new round of play, beginning with the opening deal. </p>
<p>An <em>escoba</em> occurs when you play a card which captures all the table cards, leaving the table empty. This is worth an extra point to the player who makes the capture. If the values of the four cards that were dealt face-up on the table in the opening deal add up to exactly 15, the dealer immediately captures them as an <em>escoba</em>, and opposite player then plays the first card to an empty table. If the cards in the initial four card layout add up to 30, the lucky dealer takes them and scores two <em>escobas</em>.</p>
<p>The game ends when one of the players reaches the number of <em>escobas</em> predetermined at the beginning of the game. If the goal is not reached, the game will be played until some player wins. Generally, the game will be won by the player with more <em>escobas</em>. </p>
<p>The game was made in Spanish, has 4 difficulty levels and several predetermined number of <em>escobas</em>.</p>

<p>In this arcade side-scrolling shooter, you are a pilot of space jet sent to infiltrate some planet, <strong>Kaeon</strong>. Your way to the core of this planet will be perilous, because its environment is full of different enemies.</p>
<p>Your space jet has 3 kinds of fire weapons (activated by different keys) and extras, which power may be increased with power-ups collected during your flight. Standing, flying, or moving enemies are shooting at you as well as powerful Bosses block your way to the victory.</p>
<p>The options allow you to define the rate of your and enemy shots, ability to die by collision with walls or enemies, etc.</p>
<p>When you finish the level, the password will be given to you to continue your progress from this point. The top scores will be stored also.</p>

<p>As in most chess programs, the player can change the board perspective and pieces between 2D and isometric 3D.</p>
<p>It comes with 8,000 openings and classic games with 60,000 historical moves from chess masters like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/241864/garry-kasparov/">Kasparov</a>.</p>

<p>The planet Ranax is under attack from the evil Maaron empire. The last Ranaxian soldier must find and use a digital code to shut down the empire's mind-controlling satellite.</p>
<p><em>Rebel Runner - Operation: Digital Code</em> is an arcade game where the main character shoots fireballs from his hands at extraterrestrial enemies, while crossing pre-rendered 3D levels. The character is controlled by either the keyboard (default buttons: CTRL for fire and ALT for jumping) or joystick. Each stage starts with three lives and the game saves progress between levels.</p>

<p><em>Super Bubble Mania</em> is a shareware <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/2746/pang-variants/">Pang clone</a>. As in the original game, up to two players have to clear the screen of bubbles and other bouncing objects within a time limit. The characters move sideways on the bottom of the gamefield, climbing ladders, platforms and shooting harpoons that divide the moving targets into smaller, faster versions of themselves. Like in an arcade machine, the second player can join at any time.</p>
<p>The game has three modes. World mode is the main game, where players go from level to level (50 total) of increasing difficulty, with five boss battles. Crazy mode has 50 expert levels for master players. Mania mode is the survival mode, where the levels are devoid of platforms and other obstacles and only have the bouncing target objects.</p>
<p>Power-ups and bonus points drop from destroyed objects and can be collected from the field. Harpoon tips change the characteristics of the weapon, making it stick to the top or allowing several simultaneous shots. An alarm clock stops the movement of the objects, and a hourglass adds a few seconds to the timer.</p>
<p>The gameplay is very similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Dinosaur+Balls">Dinosaur Balls</a>.</p>

<p>The ultimate goal in Empire! is to build a great galactic empire protected by a huge frontier shield. Before this can be achieved however, players have to complete various missions, trade with starbases and fight off invading aliens.</p>
<p>The ship is controlled from a top-down perspective, with four gauges indicating its energy level, temperature, radiation level and shield status. When the radiation level or temperature reach maximum, the ship is destroyed. The ship heats up when it's near a sun or firing weapons. The radiation level rises when radioactive pods are carried. When the ship is running out of fuel, it can be refueled by collecting ore from planets. Two direction finders at the bottom of the screen point towards the next starbase, mission objective or manually chosen target.</p>
<p>At starbases, players can accept missions and trade minerals, ore or people. These three goods can be found on planets (in form of pods). In order to land on a planet, players must enter a warp hole. Once on the planet's surface, the game switches to first-person perspective and the player has to dodge or destroy rockets fired at the ship and follow the direction finders towards pods or the "exit". Starbases need to be supplied with materials to be able to produce "performance pods" and equipment for the ship.</p>
<p>In order to reach other star systems, players have to fly through asteroid belts. Although some systems can only be reached with a special hyperspace pod.</p>
<p>Many star systems are overrun by aliens and can only be reclaimed when all aliens are wiped out. There are also systems that are infected with the plague and players must take care not to spread it to other systems. </p>
<p>As the game progresses, more aliens, better equipment and new starbases appear. When all systems have been visited, players can buy starbases. When all systems are owned by the player, the game can be finished by constructing the frontier shield.</p>

<p>In this arcade shoot'em up your mission is to infiltrate the alien fortress during eight levels, and to destroy the fortress and the alien.</p>
<p>Sitting in Ajax H.Q., you must pilot the remote controlled drone ship to do this. The drone represents jet fighter (behind view) and helicopter gunship (top-down view). It may be moved on the screen, fire air-to-air and air-to-ground guns and pow bomb. Limitless hordes of mechanoid invaders, whose sole intent is the total domination of the Earth, will try to stop you. Exit from each level is guarded by the powerful boss, who you should eliminate.</p>
<p>There are two versions of the arcade version (<em>Typhoon</em> in Europe and <em>Ajax</em> in Japan) which only differ in the order of the eight stages.

<p>If indeed <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=DOOM">DOOM</a> can be boiled down to shooting people with a shotgun from a first-person perspective while running around a maze, then this minimalist proof-of-concept delivers what it promises. Anyone hoping for anything more (such as the eminently DOOMian demons, keycards, gates, exploding barrels, multiple weapons, sound effects, power-ups or deathmatches) may be disappointed. Admittedly this is more interesting as a kind of technical demo than as a game, flying with authentic ASCII art stickmen where later Quake fans took the lazy way out with use of aalib. (On the other hand, it remains far more graphically sophisticated than <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23646/doom-the-roguelike/">Doom, the Roguelike</a>!)</p>

<p>The characters from the 60s TV series <em>The Munsters</em> have been transported away to a mysterious castle. Playing as different members of the family in succession, the player must rescue them. As you walk through each room, you must collect items to help you deal with each challenge. You must build up your spell power by shooting ghouls, zombies and vampires, as this allows you to deal with other challenges. Avoid contact with those monsters, as they will zap your energy and finally kill you - you have a single life.</p>

<p>The player here controls a secret agent, represented by an "X" in the middle of a textmode map window, searching a randomly-generated maze of indestructible and destructible blocks for three randomly-assigned objects of international espionage, to be gathered in sequence.</p>
<p>The player has a limited amount of moves, as measured in Oxygen, to navigate the (poison-gas-flooded) maze and locate the objects.  This is complicated by the roving of sensor drones, "x"s and "o"s, who zap the agent and return him to his starting location (a tendency that can be used strategically in times of low oxygen.)  The drones can be destroyed with a limited number of Ray-gun blasts, each of which clears the screen of enemies, while weak walls can be demolished through the use of limited supplies of TNT.  Finally, the player has a certain quantity of Hints that can be employed in order to indicate where in the larger maze the current section shown on screen is situated.  The player can also Teleport randomly around the level in search of his assigned objects, both through a limited personal supply and by finding telepads on the level.  Oxygen, TNT, Hints and Ray-gun blasts also can be topped up by finding their power-ups while wandering, as well as the Map Enlarger power-up that briefly increases the amount of the maze that is revealed at once.</p>
<p>The game will randomly generate six levels in total, each more unlikely to be survived than the last.</p>

<p>The name says it all: an early, proof-of-concept side-scrolling platform game exercise. The player controls a little man who moves from side to side with the arrow keys and jumps in little hops continuing in the direction he was last moving. His goal? To dodge slowly falling bombs and collect the level's 39 gold coins. If not for its illustrious author, the generic game would likely have been forgotten forever. It is succeeded by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/30517/super-silverbrothers/">Super Silverbrothers</a>.</p>

<p><em>Turoid</em> is an <a href="/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a> clone, where the point is - like in many other games like it - to bounce a ball with a paddle in order to destroy all the bricks on a given level. </p>
<p>The paddle is controlled with a mouse (the mouse sensitivity can be adjusted with the numeric keys). The bricks come in various types: the green, orange and white bricks can be destroyed simply by hitting them; the yellow brick can be destroyed only after picking up a certain powerup; the purple brick contains a ball that will fall down after destroying it - two hits with such a ball will destroy your paddle; the gold bricks are "special" and many various, benevolent effects may occur when they are hit. Only the green, orange and white bricks need to be destroyed to complete the level. </p>
<p>A level editor application is included with the game.</p>

<p>In <em>Twigger</em> you play a mole-like creature. You move around in a cart, with which you can lay eggs and collect carrots. Eggs eventually hatch and produce little helpers that will grow in power the longer they survive. The goal of the game is to destroy the cart of your opponent, by creating an army of helpers and defending them from opposing forces.</p>

<p>Obviously a sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Flying+Tigers">Flying Tigers</a>, this game makes us the pilot of a hi-tech ship, known as "Flying Tiger". According to the story, you are fighting "techno terrorists" who have begun a sinister plot to destroy all the Flying Tigers. Whatever, let's just go shoot some planes!</p>
<p>Similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/511/raptor-call-of-the-shadows/">Raptor</a>, <em>Flying Tigers II</em> is a typical vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up, where you have to survive until end of level. Planes attack you relentlessly, and each four levels you get to fight several bosses - very powerful and strong planes. You can also come upon zeppelins of steel (don't ask), warships and active volcanoes. While you'll be flying over the sea most of the time, you can also encounter patches of land with ground installations of them; all of these can be blown up. </p>
<p>During your mission, you'll find weapon upgrades (which also heal you a little). The yellow bonuses change the type of your main weapon (which is basically a machine gun), while the blue ones give you a secondary weapon - such as lasers, missiles or flaming napalm! You can shoot the bonuses to change the weapon contained within them. </p>
<p>At the end of every level, you get bonus points for the planes and buildings you destroyed.</p>

<p><em>Toxic Bunny</em> is a violent side-scrolling action platform game. The player plays a bunny named Toxic. Toxic becomes super aggressive when his coffee break has been interrupted due to the earth being covered in decaffeinated goo and his friends getting brainwashed. It is up to you to find the one responsible for this.</p>
<p>The game features 4 large levels to play through. Toxic can walk, jump and shoot at various different enemies. In the levels Toxic can collect different coloured elixirs, which can be mixed together to form various different power-ups such as health potions or an explosive.</p>

<p><em>Last Duel: Inter Planet War 2012</em> follows the story of two planets that are in war with each other. On the planet Bacula, the Galden Tribe has overthrown the government and seized power over the whole world. Now they want more – by invading the peaceful planet of Mu and kidnapped Queen Sheets.</p>
<p>The Mu-ans decided to take action. They asked their best scientists to come up with a weapon that will defeat the Galdens. After many long months, they were able to develop a vehicle of immense firepower, capable of leaping into the air to avoid ground hazards. In addition to that, it can transform into an airborne vessel whose purpose is to eliminate any kind of enemy in the sky.</p>
<p>Players have to guide their vehicle through six difficult levels - alternating between ground vehicle and fighter plane – while destroying every Galden that gets in their way. While progressing, holes in the ground need to be avoided, as players lose one of their ships should they happen to fall through one. Shooting power pods scattered around the level allows the player to increase their firepower. However, they lose that firepower if one of their ships is destroyed.</p>

<p>The game is a strategical puzzle action, where you have to eliminate the playfield filling it with the tiles of different colors until the time will be exhausted. Each playfield represents a certain period of the human evolution such as Prehistory, Crusades, Prohibition or Berlin Wall. On each level some animation takes place, and you should perform your goal until it logically finishes. </p>
<p>The tiles are triangles of different colors, sometimes combined in groups, appear in one corner of the playfield and should be put in another place based on the player's strategy in the way to do not block the path for other tiles. When four triangle tiles with adjacent tiles of different colors formed a square, this square will be eliminated from playfield with its part and no tiles may be placed or moved here. Adjacent tiles of the same colors will be eliminated from playfield, but playfield will remain untouched. Tiles may be moved on the playfield and rotated over the center of the square. Also playfield may include different obstacles, which may influence on moving/rotation of your tiles to make it more difficult, and they should be avoided in any possible way.</p>
<p>Finishing the level will give you the code, which may be used later to access this level. There are 30 levels available to play.</p>

<p><em>Tera: La Cité des Crânes</em> ("Tera: The City of Skulls") is a role-playing game in which you should bring order and harmony to the world on the planet Amarande the Black. Once prosperous, it is now divided among three forces: <em>technology</em>, which incorporates all that was invented by engineers; <em>transcendence</em>, whose power relies on priests and vestal; and <em>magic</em>, whose temple is buried in the depths of the City of Skulls. </p>
<p>To do this you should perform four quests, exploring:  </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>the depths of a vast dungeon known as the City of Skulls,  </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>a space base on a small nearby planet named Alfol,  </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>a parallel world populated by crystal-telepaths controlled by Méduz,  </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>the temple of Seth.   </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>These places are filled with dangerous and frightening creatures such as tarantulas, demigods, cyborgs, spirits, vampires, necromancers, or demon-prince.</p>
<p>The player begins the game from character's generation, determining his/her various skills by assigning points to each of 9 attributes: strength, endurance, agility, intelligence, determination, charm, luck, vitality, dexterity. Second attribute is a skill: action, astronaut, D system, magic, PSY power, negotiation, exorcism, casting, shooting. </p>
<p>Each type of enemy is vulnerable to certain attacks. At the beginning of the game, the player does not have sufficient skills to defeat all types of enemies. Fortunately he may be joined by 3 other companions, whose skills will complement those of the player. Moreover, the companions of the player will automatically teach him their skills. You can find a total of 9 characters (one per jurisdiction), who could join the team, but there can be only 4 people, including the player in the team at a given moment. The teammates may be abandoned at any time to be replaced. </p>
<p>As the player explores the world and basements of the City of Skulls, he discovers the clues teaching him how to accomplish his quests and how certain objects will help. There are also many boxes (often trapped or kept by dangerous creatures) containing gold or powerful artifacts. </p>
<p>The entire world and dungeons as well as the usefulness of some magical objects are randomly generated at the beginning of the game. Orders are completely given with keyboard. A list of orders appears when pressing the "?" key.</p>

<p>In <em>McMurphy's Mansion</em>, a text based adventure, you are the nephew/niece of the late eccentric millionaire McMurphy. Upon arriving in Scotland, McMurphy's lawyer Barrister Aaron McBee informs you that McMurphy has left behind a huge inheritance ($10,000,000), but in order to claim it you must prove yourself worthy.</p>
<p>McMurphy has left you with only one clue (a small brass key) and you must now search the mansion and surrounding grounds for the rest of your fortune. </p>
<p>Gameplay is similar to other text based adventures like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/50/zork-the-great-underground-empire/">Zork</a>, in that you type in what action you would like to perform (like LOOK SOUTH or UNLOCK BOX WITH KEY), and then the game tells you the results of your action. Along with the text descriptions, there is a map and inventory listing to aid you in your quest (these must be turned on before use).</p>

<p>In <em>A Day for Soft Food</em> the player controls the hungry cat of a household. Its master (called "the Provider" in the game) is sound asleep in his bed, ill from some unknown sickness. His state of misery has left his faithful pet with barely anything to eat, and even the slightest mewl seems to annoy him. Can food be found without waking him up?</p>
<p>As with most modern interactive fiction, the player types in full sentences describing their intended actions (LOOK AT THE PROVIDER, MEW, and so on). The game requires a Z-interpreter to run.</p>

<p><em>Thuis In Het Milieu</em> is a Dutch educative software title. In the game you play a man and have to perform tasks in and around the house. Everything has to do with the environment. You have to control the radiators, clean the house, throw out the trash, take a shower, go to the bathroom, do the laundry.</p>
<p>At the end of the week you are evaluated on how well you've conserved energy and saved the environment. During each task you perform you are prompted with a question that has to be answered correctly. These questions again have an environmental nature.</p>
<p>The game is in 2D and shows each room of the house in a typical Point &amp; Click Adventure style. The main character is animated for each of the tasks you can perform.</p>

<p>You are Detective Sergeant in the Crime Squad at Saint Etienne (Loire). As an Officer of the Police, you are capable of leading any criminal investigation. As you took your post up, you were called to investigate what the press are fast terming <strong>"L'affaire Vera Cruz"</strong><em>(The Vera Cruz Affair)</em>.</p>
<p>Prostitute Vera Cruz sprawled on the floor in her "Forest" apartment was found by caretaker. The pool of blood poured from a bullet wound in her chest. It was believed to be a case of suicide with a gun as the weapon involved. But you have to prove that it was a murder.</p>
<p>The gameplay flows in two parts: <em>crime scene investigation</em> to collect the evidence, and <em>work with telex machine</em> to gain information about possible suspects.</p>
<p>At the crime scene, you should collect all possible evidence moving the marker on the screen and examining the objects scattered at the scene as well as the body itself.</p>
<p>With telex machine you should perform investigation according to the police procedures.

<p>Raymond Pardon was a gentle man. Maybe too gentle. Due to non-ability to defend himself against the accusation, he has spent last six years in a prison for a hold-up he did not commit. But the things were even worse: in addition to six years of imprisonment he lost his lovely wife, Mylène. </p>
<p>Who was involved in this affair? To discover the truth, you as Raymond should perform your own investigation in seven European cities: Barcelona, Paris, Cannes, Rome, Amsterdam, Hamburg and London. In turns you'll behave as a gangster or as a journalist. It is up to you to perform the investigation in cold blood despite the lies and hired assassins. Someone must pay!</p>
<p>The gameplay flows as adventure in first-person view. You choose the place to visit and examine the objects there. Moving the cursor on the scene, you set its part in focus and may interact with it. Some of the objects may be added to your inventory and used later, some of the persons may share a valuable information with you, some of them may be hostile.</p>
<p>The game supports several languages: French, German, English, Italian, Dutch, and Spanish.</p>

<p>As the last living descendant of the storied Frankenstein family, the player has been summoned to the old family estate. In the creepy manor, the player is charged (through messages in envelopes) by no less than the great doctor Victor Frankenstein with a crucial task -- reanimating the monster (in the basement lab) who plunged the family name into infamy.</p>
<p>This will involve gathering critical components from around the lot, from electrodes (nothing less than golden ones will do!) to some fresh(ish) human organs. Crack a safe, navigate a secret passage, thwart the depredations of a local wolfman, and then just as electricity arcs across the long-disused capacitors and the creature stirs once more, watch things go awry just at the greatest moment of Promethean triumph!</p>
<p>The MS-DOS version was distributed only as part of the author's 1992 horror30.zip "<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tales+of+Horror">Tales of Horror</a>" shareware compilation along with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Night+of+the+Walking+Dead">Night of the Walking Dead</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=The+Sea+Phantom">The Sea Phantom</a>.</p>

<p><em>In the shadowy dives of Hoboken, New York, a lust-crazed man seals a final tryst with an old flame on the eve of her permanent relocation to far Denmark with her husband.</em></p>
<p>This is a game that simulates a sexual exchange between a man (the player) and a simulated woman. Taking initial user input for the players' names, personality traits and measurements, it equips them with appropriate adjectives and behaviors and points them in the direction of the player's garret.</p>
<p>Actual game input overlooks the strengths of a text parser, with viable options including various combinations of vanilla erogenous zones with hands and mouths. When the arousal levels of both parties is sufficient (both the male being flagged with "hard" status and the woman with "wet" -- indicated by the game via the report command) simulated penetration is allowed.</p>

<p>Old software (where adult text adventures are concerned, perhaps second only to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Softporn+Adventure">Softporn Adventure</a>!) proves to be a gateway to what was a nostalgic experience even then, the heterosexual rite of passage: a night of heavy petting and perhaps "getting to third base" in a parked car at the local drive-in movie theatre. The order of the day here is pacing yourself, gradually building your girlfriend's ardour before taking it to the back seat and freeing yourselves of some of that cumbersome clothing. Oh, say! Is that my hand? How did that get there?</p>

<p>In <em>Caverns of Gink</em> you control Prof. George Jumpalot on a quest to find a sacred statue left by the Ginkians, an ancient tribe of headhunters. The statue is somewhere in a large cave; you will need to explore the entire cave in order to find it. The cave consists of numerous red platforms; as you walk over each platform, the color changes to brown. When all of the platforms have been changed to brown the level is complete. The Ginkians are still around, however! They are trying to stop you from your goal by constantly shooting green arrows. This are poisonous and will cause you to lose a life if hit; if hit too many times the game is over. Prof. George Jumpalot can move left, right, jump, or fall in order to reach all of the platforms and dodge the arrows.</p>

<p>A port of Madden '96 to DOS, using the extra space provided by a CD to provide improved graphics and animation. Features 3D rendered graphics, 640x480 resolution, and John Madden announcing.</p>
<p>Over 500 players, 240 plays, and the ability to create your own playbooks. Trade your players, and sign free agents. Play single games, or entire seasons, against the computer or your friend.</p>

<p><em>Tilt</em> is a puzzle platform action, where the goal is to lead the ball through the maze from the entrance to the exit, collecting randomly appeared cans and avoiding obstacles such as magnets, red buttons, stop signs, holes and other traps to do not make your bonus low or to do not die. To provide the clear way for the ball, you should move the tiles of the maze in way of famous '15 puzzle' game. As time flows, the bonus size lowers, and you should perform your mission on each level as fast as possible.</p>
<p>Several difficulty levels, speed of the ball, number of players (1-2) may be adjusted. The two-players mode is cooperative.</p>
<p>The editor of the mazes are also present in Amiga and DOS versions.</p>

<p><em>Susan</em> is a text adventure created with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6109/gags-agt-games/">the Adventure Game Toolkit</a>. The aim of the game is for the player to score in bed with their girlfriend Susan. The character starts the game outside Susan's house, virtually empty-handed of anything useful toward fulfilling several of Susan's requests, all of which must be overcome before realistically entertaining any hope of getting her into bed. To find the objects of her eye, the player must visit several other locations beyond her house, such as the player's house, the park, and the confusing nexus of a construction yard-cum-maze.</p>

<p><em>Anti-Ballistic-Missile</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Comando+de+M%C3%ADsseis">Missile Command</a> variant. The object of the game is to protect six cities along the IBM east coast. The enemy has 12 missiles it will fire which need to be destroyed before they reach the cities. The player controls a cursor indicating where to fire anti-ballistic missiles. If the missile detonates within range of an enemy missile, the enemy missile is destroyed. If all of the cities are destroyed, the player loses the game; if any cities survive, the player wins (better scores are earned for more remaining cities). Several skill levels are available which control the speed of the enemy missiles and the accuracy required for destroying missiles.</p>

<p>Based on the famous <em>Looney Tunes</em> cartoon characters, the game is educational action for the kids.</p>
<p>You are Daffy Duck, and this time you are a Private Investigator (P.I.). The letters are escaped from their words and scattered, where they want. You should find the missing letters and fill the words with proper ones to complete your job successfully and to collect a great amount of money for this not simple task.</p>
<p>Completing different themed locations, Daffy will progress from one location to another. Each location represent a single screen, where letters are scattered in random places as well as different words located. You should collect the letter and bring it to proper word. When all words are filled the location will be passed, and Daffy will be allowed to proceed further. Also different enemies such as Elmer Fudd, Sylvester J. Pussycat, Yosemite Sam, or Wile E. Coyote are present on locations. They want to kill Daffy, but Daffy can also make them stunned with different weapons, such as bananas or eggs.</p>
<p>Bonus levels are present between locations. Such levels are time-oriented and represents the matrix of the letters. You should mark the letters one by one to get a word. Each word will give you points. And each thousand of points will give you life, which you may loose on locations, therefore you should find as much words on bonus levels as possible.</p>
<p>There are 3 difficulty levels and High Score table to store the most impressive results in the game.</p>

<p>Promoted to a rank of Senior Sergeant of Investigations Brigade in Saint-Etienne (Loire), you've already proved yourself in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=L'affaire+Vera+Cruz">L'affaire Vera Cruz</a> (<em>The Vera Cruz Affair</em>). Your chiefs rest all their hopes upon your abilities and commit a new case to you, <strong>L'affaire Sydney</strong> (<em>The Sydney Affair</em>).</p>
<p>Mr. James Sydney has just been shot in the head. The assassin, who fired from the opposite building, should know the habits of the victim, because (s)he spent all the day at the same place there... So you go with your team to the crime scene to collect the clues and follow the possible traces.</p>
<p>The game as its predecessor flows in two parts: <em>crime scene investigation</em> to collect the evidence, and <em>work with telex machine</em> to gain information about possible suspects.</p>
<p>The crime scene now includes two screens (street with Sydney's body and assassin's apartment). You should collect all possible evidence moving the marker on the screen and examining the objects scattered at the scenes as well as the body itself.</p>

<p><em>Clash</em> is a turn-based strategy modeled on the <a href="/search/?q=Heroes+of+Might+and+Magic">Heroes of Might and Magic</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Warlords">Warlords</a> series. The plot is based on the legend of the ancient land of Karkhan, attacked by wild tribes. The goal is to develop and maintain their lands constantly attacked by the occupying invaders.</p>
<p>There are 30 different types of units. They can be allocated to defend the city, set patrols and discover new areas of the map. Addition to typical military units are builders, which are used for all types of construction and mining work. An important element is the extension of the economy and castles. In castles the player can place the new building, increasing population and its manufacturing capacity. There are also elements of diplomacy. </p>
<p>The game takes place during three seasons: summer, autumn and winter. Up to five players can participate in the missions simultaneously. Soldiers have their own tiredness levels. An exhausted soldier requires rest and, in extreme cases, may rebel.</p>

<p><em>The Star Portal</em> is a text adventure created with AGT.</p>
<p>The earth is recovering from a time of unrest and the exploration of the solar system has halted. You are the adventuring type, the one that goes of to exotic places and searches for treasures. While having a drink in one of the local pubs, you got into a conversation with a fellow who had obviously been drinking too much. During the conversation he made several references to a secret installation on Mars, and the alien artifact within it. After that night you spent six month and most of your money to track down the truth to this rumor. You found a member of the third martian expedition, the expedition that found the artifact, who tells you the story about it. It looks like a large vid-phone booth, but with a single lever inside it instead of a phone. It turns out that this seems to be a sort of teleporter, sending things to random, far of locations. Some locations are so far away that it takes radio waves five or eight years to reach the earth. The WorldGow got scared and suppressed the story and a guarded building was constructed around the artifact.</p>
<p>You set of to mars aboard a supply ship for the only guard at the installation. The ship did not land at the artifact and most of your equipment was lost during a sand storm. You are now in the middle of the martian desert and you have to find your way to the installation and see what you can do with the artifact.</p>

<p><em>Ducks</em> is a former shareware, now freeware <a href="/search/?q=Ha-Namlulim">Lemmings</a> clone for DOS. Instead of clearing the path to a portal for green creatures, the player controls a green duck, the leader of oranges ducks that must be guided to a rocket ship. Clicking and holding the right mouse button on any place of the gamefield makes the leader move towards it. When the green duck is close enough to the orange ducks, they start to follow it. Moving the mouse while holding down the button makes the green duck change direction accordingly. The rocket ship has a number on top, indicating the number of ducks necessary for it to take off.</p>
<p>Numerous hazards scattered through the levels kill the ducks. Instead of Lemmings' more aseptic approach to violence, deaths on Ducks are quite gory, with the animals exploding and their blood splattering on nearby surfaces. A slimy monster wanders some levels and devours the birds, and they can also be murdered by spikes, fans, electric bolts and long falls. Switches turn off and on the electric arcs, but can only be activated by the leader, and only once per level. The ESC button makes them commit suicide, useful to quit a level made unsolvable by wrong actions.</p>
<p>Several tools help to clear the path to the rocket. They appear as icons at the bottom of the screen, and can be changed with the arrow key and deployed with the left mouse button. The bomb explodes the scenery, removing chunks of it each time. Horizontal bridges and diagonal ladders help the ducks to cross safely over chasms and dangerous environments. The balloon acts like the bomb, but it goes upwards instead of falling. Stop signs makes the orange ducks stop their march, instead of walking toward deathly devices and places. Bricks can be placed on top of each other, to manually construct bridges. The teleport transports the leader anywhere in the level. Seagulls and flying saucers replace the leader, guiding the birds and moving automatically from one side to the other (the saucer goes up and down as well).</p>
<p>There's a level editor available as an optional download on the developer site.</p>

<p>Following in the footsteps of the early UNIX game <em><a href="/search/?q=Robots">Robots</a></em> and the earlier BASIC game <em><a href="/search/?q=Robot+Chase!">Robot Chase!</a></em>), this game puts the player in charge of a little protagonist, often claimed to be The Doctor, occupying a position on a top-down grid which is otherwise strewn, not with mines, but with those killer cyborgs which are his personal nemesis, the Daleks. They have no long-range weapons, but if they touch him, he will find himself ex-ter-min-ated!</p>
<p>Fortunately for him, contact with them is as lethal to each other as it is to him. Every time he takes a step, they all draw one square closer to him; The Doctor's cunning strategy is to manoeuvre himself so as to cause their paths to intersect and the Daleks to terminally collide, leaving a pile of rubble dangerous both to him and to subsequent Daleks -- a strategy not always possible on the narrow confines of a grid. Fortunately for the good Doctor, where this game outdoes its predecessors is that he also has his trusty Sonic Screwdriver in hand, whose offensive use destroys all Daleks within a threatening one-square radius of him. Also, it allows him to teleport out of harm's way to a random location on the map -- hopefully one behind a pile of Dalek rubble, and not one within a single step of a Dalek currently on the map. In many versions both Sonic Screwdriver and Teleport use are limited. Should The Doctor survive this onslaught, he is brought to a new grid map, generally one populated with still further Daleks.</p>
<p>Other features particular to some versions and absent from others include the use of graphical tiles vs. mere roguelike textmode character representation, and occasionally a conversion will use (universally unlicensed) sound effects taken from canonical Doctor Who sources; more commonly these games also offer a Last Stand command, to be used, like the "drop" in Tetris, when the player is so confident in the security of their location that they are willing to sit tight and grant the Daleks as many moves as it takes to either reach The Doctor or be rendered down into scrap metal through unforeseen collision. Successful use of the Last Stand often results in a score bonus; unsuccessful use of it, of course, results in The Doctor's death. (Don't worry, chances are good that he'll regenerate into a new incarnation -- not in this game, however).</p>
<p>Some versions feature keyboard directional control (in which sometimes the player is granted access to diagonal movement like the Daleks are, and sometimes not), while others present The Doctor with a halo of directional arrows around him, to move him one step in the appropriate direction if an arrow is clicked upon. Generally he also has the option of standing in place and passing a turn.</p>

<p><em>Vegas Gambler</em> is a casino game for one player which features four common casino games: Video Poker, Roulette, Black Jack and Slots. </p>
<p>At the start of the game you have $500 to bet with. The betting limits are $200 for Black Jack and Roulette and $5 for Video Poker and Slots. Once you have placed a bet you only need to hit play, the computer will automatically bet the same amount of money again and again, however if you play roulette you have to manually place your bet on the game board. Once you run out of money you may chose between borrowing another $500 or quit. The game features a save/load function for one game.</p>

<p>This multi-genre military action game puts player in the seat of tactical commander of mechanized forces. Starting as Cadet, you'll raise your career from the rookie, when you should perform actions by yourself in different vehicles, to the ultimate elite, when you should act as a Tactical genius. </p>
<p>There are three kinds of combat simulations:1. MBT (main battle tank <em>M1A1 Abrams</em>), where in first-person view you should sit in tank's cockpit, command your gunner and driver, and eliminate surrounding enemies;</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>FAV (fast attack vehicle <em>XR311</em>), where in third-person view you should drive your vehicle in desert, shoot scattered obstacles and enemy helicopters, and avoid the bombs dropped from the skies ;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>ADAT (air defense anti-tank <em>M1132A</em>), where in first-person view you should shoot air and ground enemies, surrounding your statical position.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Performing useful actions in each mode, you'll gain points, and gathering 5,000 points in each mode will give you a seat of Tactical Commander. Here you'll be able to continue your actions on the field, or perform some tactical moves using the map, which is very similar to the territory, including and surrounding Western Germany.</p>

<p><em>Quarterpole</em> is a horse racing simulation and stable management game based on the thoroughbred racing board game of the same name.</p>
<p>In this game over one thousand horses, 125 jockeys and 150 trainers race 311 days a year from May through August on five 3D modelled tracks. Race your thoroughbreds in cups, stakes and classics night or day in various types of weather conditions. Results depend on past performances, track conditions, pace, track bias, race positions, running styles and other factors.</p>
<p>You will manage every aspect pertaining to your horses from their purchase (at auction or private sale), through their training and handling and finally their entry into races of your choice. As your horses win they advance to the higher classes in Allowances and Stakes.</p>
<p>The game uses a betting system patterned after real racetrack payoff software. Place your bets for big money to Win, Place or Show with exactas/trifectas and choose wisely using expert tips available in-game.</p>
<p>The sights and sounds of real racing action can be seen and heard. The game features full-motion video footage of race day events with music, voices and digitized sound effects. Additional features include instant replay, slow motion and various camera angles.</p>

<p><em>MicroLeague Football: The Coach's Challenge</em> is an early American football video game for DOS and part of the <em>MicroLeague Sports</em> series. You can create teams and leagues and play an entire season, or select from pre-determined real-life teams and players from years past. Gameplay is more strategic than most action sports games. You don't control the players directly; instead, you choose the offensive and defensive plays and the players attempt to carry them out as best they can.</p>
<p>The <em>Deluxe Edition</em> features an enhanced version of the engine from the original game. New features include more detailed player stats and ratings, the ability to assign macros using particular keystrokes, more plays to choose from and better artificial intelligence.</p>

<p><em>Dino Wars</em> is a strategic board game with some similarities to chess, with combat decided by action scenes. If you ever played <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/73/archon-the-light-and-the-dark/">Archon</a> you know the idea behind this game.</p>
<p>On a chess-like board (9x10 pieces in this game) you move different sorts of dinosaurs. If you hit an square on which an opponent dinosaur stands, the game changes to action mode. This is played as a beat-'em-up, in which you must beat the opponent dinosaur to win the square. Each dinosaur has it's own strategies, movement restrictions and different combat skills - which are roughly based on the historical properties of the real dinosaurs. As a result, knowing which dinosaurs are likely to win combat is crucial to the strategy.</p>
<p>The action scenes can be played independently of the main strategic game.</p>

<p>The game is a combination of two genres, platformer and quiz game. Gadget, the main character, has invented a time machine and uses it to go back to the dinosaur age. In order to return, he must obtain a crystal to power the time machine. This allows him to go forward in time to the next major age. </p>
<p>The crystal is only available to collect after answering enough questions. The questions are scattered around each level, in the form of some object from that era and are multiple choice. A question only appears in one location at a time, and answering a question incorrectly results in it moving to the next location. Gadget can stun enemies by jumping on them, and get rid of them by picking them up and throwing them.</p>

<p><em>MAG!!!</em> puts the player in the place of the lead editor and publisher of a computer games review magazine in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Up to four players can take turns playing <em>MAG!!!</em>. There are three ways to win the game, one of which has to be chosen at the start of the game: being the publisher with the greatest market share, net worth or score.</p>
<p>Players can choose to publish magazines for IBM-PC, Amiga, Atari ST, C64 or CPC computers. Other vital decisions include choosing publishing in black and white or colour, selecting the right kind of editors to work for the player's magazine and what columns to include in the magazine. It is also important to stay in contact with game publishers since they might provide the player with exclusive games to review. Depending on the difficulty selected at the beginning of the game, players have between 13 and 5 minutes to complete one month's issue.</p>

<p><em>Y</em> is a game based on the divide and conquer principle. Each level starts as a blue area surrounded with a thin green border. The player is represented by a small white ball, and when it moves into the blue area, it trails a purple "tail." Once the ball moves back into the green, any empty blue area cut off by the tail becomes green as well. If the area is not empty, only the tail itself turns green. </p>
<p>There are red balls moving in the blue area, and black balls moving around the green area. The player starts with three lives, and has 3 minutes to turn 75% of the blue area to green. The player loses a life when the white ball touches a green or red ball, when a red ball touches the purple tail, or when the clock runs out. The player gains a life by finishing a level without losing any lives, or by getting an "extra life" power up.</p>
<p>Power ups appear randomly in the blue area for a short amount of time, and include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Extra Life</li>
<li>Extra Time - add 20 seconds to the clock</li>
<li>Skip Level - immediately warp to the next level</li>
<li>Bridge - immediately turn the purple tail to green</li>
<li>Destroy - any red balls touching the player's ball or the purple tail within the next 5 seconds will be destroyed</li>
<li>Freeze - freezes all red and black balls for 5 seconds</li>
<li>Speed - increases the speed of the player's ball for 5 seconds</li>
</ul>
<p>Level one contains 1 black ball and 1 red ball. A new red ball is added every level, but the number resets to 1 every 10 levels, though the ball starts moving faster. A new black ball is added every 20 levels.</p>

<p>A program coming across as somewhat nonsensical in absence of a certain context, this piece of software puts its operator in the position of the cameraman of an adult film.  What this amounts to is viewing one of three softcore pornographic colour still images through a small (viewfinder) window, panning across the image with mouse movements and zooming in or out with the buttons.  The player can press R to record so that later on, the game can reproduce the particular combination of camera moves (or: their "adult film") for the enjoyment of the viewer.</p>

<p>This game pits the player as a single man on the prowl for some action. Custom-building the personality and traits of a romantic counterpart, the game can simulate a wide variety of dating experiences, each of which scenarios offers a number of multiple-choice questions yielding an impact on how well the date ultimately went. Over the course of a series of dates that go well, the player can dump flawed girlfriends and seek out ones with more consistent perfection (self-improvement is also a factor; if the girlfriend exceeds her partner, she will be dumping him). A distant goal is to gradually improve both self and partner so as to eventually wrangle invitations to the Big Party, into which only perfect couples are permitted.</p>

<p><em>Saint &amp; Greavsie</em> is a sports trivia game where one to four players have to answer sport-related questions. Players start by throwing a ball across a series of stadiums.

<p>Depending on where the ball lands, the player has to answer three types of questions from one of four question packs. Home questions (worth one point) are generally related to modern football and are the easiest to answer. Away questions (worth two points) are generally related to football in the 1960s and '70s with teasers about 'golden oldies'. Finally, derby questions (worth three points) will test your knowledge of football trivia, and these questions are fun as well as factual. Players can choose to answer the question or pass onto the next player. If the player chooses to answer a question correctly, a penalty shootout is given which involves the player kicking a goal to score bonus points.</p>
<p>The winner of the game is declared after all players have completed 21 or 42 matches (when one league season is completed). The winner is the player who has the most points.</p>

<ul>
</ul>
<p>Although related by an adherence to the 2nd edition AD&amp;D rules, the three worlds are not related.

</ul>
<p>The CD includes a DOS and Windows installation program and MOSLO to run the games. Even in 1999, computers were already too fast to run these games reliably. Documentation is provided by a large hard copy manual and soft copies can be found on the CD. The soft copies are facilitated by a simplistic image viewer that displays scanned images of the original pages; the images are stored in PCX format.</p>
<p>Additionally, code wheels are provided for the copy protection schemes of <em>Pool of Radiance</em>, <em>Curse of the Azure Bonds</em>, and <em>Hillsfar</em>.</p>

<p>When Earthlings decided to stop wars and explore the outer space, another menace threaten them. The Aliants species, who came from far space to conquer all and to dominate in universe. And such goal was mostly achieved by them. They conquered Earth, but some human forces were left, and you are one of them.</p>
<p>The game represents the story about humankind savior, you, and is divided on Arcade and Strategical parts.

<p><em>Rodney's Funscreen</em> is an early children's game designed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/97766/rodney-alan-greenblat/">Rodney Greenblat</a>, later responsible for the art in the <a href="/search/?q=Parappa+the+Rappa+series">Parappa the Rapper</a> series. The game has five activities that can be accessed directly from the main menu. The aim of these mini-games is to teach preschool kids how to use the computer.</p>
<p>In Dinky's House, the child player has to click on the closed windows of the character's house, trying to find him behind the curtains. Clicking on the door icon shows the house interior, where clicking on furniture and other parts of the scenery shows an animation of Dinky doing something.</p>
<p>In Guess-o-Matic, the player has to find the drawing displayed at the bottom, by clicking on a series of cards with question marks.</p>
<p>In Barber Joe, the child can select from three head drawings of a boy called Joe, a girl named Jane and the dog Woof to paint over with the available drawing tools at the left side of the screen.</p>
<p>In Alphabeeps, the kid has to click on the first letter from the name of the object, animal or thing shown at the top of the screen. As a reward and incentive for correct answers, an animated monster gets closer to an object, hopping across the screen until finally reaching and interacting with it.</p>
<p>In Too Many Monsters, the top of the screen shows a group of monsters, and the child has to click on the corresponding number of them at the bottom.</p>

<p><em>Méwilo</em> is a 1st person point &amp; click adventure game that plays on the Caribbean island Martinique. You, an expert in paranormal phenomena, arrive by ship at the town St Pierre on Martinique on May 7, 1902, a day before volcano Mount Pelée will erupt and destroy the town.

It's your task to find out what has happened and to find a way to let your friends live in peace again. </p>
<p>With a "colibri cursor" you can click on a map to visit various locations on the island (thanks to your own paranormal abilities you can explore places as a colibri). By investigating/interrogating the player also learns about the history of the island (especially during an extensive multiple choice puzzle). Some of the puzzles require that the player types in the right answer. 
The game has a small inventory (with three slots) and a scoring system with a maximum of 99 points. It includes some animations, music and sound. It was published in a German and French version. The manual includes a short story by the Martinician author Patrick Chamoiseau and a calalou recipe; the package contains an audio tape by the Martinician band Malavoi.</p>

<p><em>Mystic Midway: Phantom Express</em> is a gallery shooter and spin off from the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20376/mystic-midway-rest-in-pieces/">Mystic Midway: Rest in Pieces</a>. In the game each level represents a period of your life, which is presented as a rollercoaster ride where you are assaulted by various objects from that period (baby toys, braces, etc.). The goal is to shoot as many of them as possible to get a high enough score to advance to the next level. During the rides there's also parts of conversations you can hear where people argue about you or blame you for problems. In between levels you are greeted by an unfriendly host that only tries to insult you.</p>

<p><em>Nahlakh</em> is a shareware game written as RPG adventure with an emphasis on intricate tactical combat, and extensive world exploration. Control a team of 8 characters in a quest to find and destroy the demons of Omalin. The game manual boasts over 200 hours solving time, 100 spells, 300 different monsters, and a system for generating potentially millions of items by combining them with various enchantments and materials.
<em>In the author's own words: "It's like a war game with a plot and character development. There are no "experience points" in Nahlakh... skills are learned by doing, not mystically improving out of thin air."</em></p>
<p>The game begins with a fairly involved process of setting up your party of 8 characters. For each character 50 points are given to distribute among the main attributes of strength, intelligence, dexterity, and health. Additionally, picking an icon that represents the character, this selection will affect the skills chosen; essentially the icons are character classes. Next a number of skills are randomly selected with varying levels of accomplishment described humorously with adjectives such as "lousy", "feeble", "wretched". </p>
<p>With your party created the game begins, and the party is transported to the world map where a group of enemies waits close by; to the north lies a town called Nedly. The world map will remind one of the early <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/88/ultima-series/">Ultima series </a>with the player character represented by an non-animated icon.</p>
<p>The battle system is similar to that found within <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/502/pool-of-radiance/">Pool of Radiance</a> (1989); it is turn-based, each character has a limited number of steps that it takes, and then an adjacent enemy icon is targeted for attack.</p>
<p>The game is well documented, and pressing <strong>F1</strong> at anytime will bring up context-sensitive help. Since the game is heavily driven by keyboard commands this is an important feature.</p>

<p>European answer to American <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Artworx+Strip+Poker">Artworx Strip Poker</a>, this game introduces one girl in MSX1 original version and two girls with different names and slightly different looks in other versions (Amiga, Atari ST, DOS versus MSX2).</p>
<p>The playmate welcomes you in her apartment and proposes a card game. The game is a poker, and when player loses another $100, some part of her dress will be removed. The goal is to keep your clothes on and to make a girl completely naked.</p>
<p>The graphics in original MSX1 game is different, but other versions tries to keep conceptual design of original.</p>

<p><em>Alex the Allegator 2</em> is a simple board game that can be played against the computer or a friend. At first glance the game appears to be an <a href="/search/?q=Othello+games">Othello</a> clone, two players take turns placing colored tiles on an 8x8 board. Beyond that the rules and objectives differ. </p>
<p>The objective is to end the game with the highest score once either opponent has cleared all their tiles. Each turn a player may either place one of their colored tiles or slide any row/column by one unit. The row/column may not be moved again for one turn. When a group of four tiles forming a square is made, they are cleared from the board. If a player manages to remove 6 tiles in a rectangle they are awarded a special yellow tile which acts as a wild card allowing a square to be completed for any color. Gray tiles will periodically appear on the board at random unfilled spots; a gray tile can only be removed with 3 yellow tiles.</p>
<p>You can score points by completing squares of either color; for example, if your opponent slides a row and completes a square with your colored tiles he gets the points instead of you. The game also has two levels of challenge for the human vs computer mode, a high score table, sounds, and music.</p>

<p><em>Math Rabbit</em> is an educational game for ages 5-7. Included are four games which are designed to help build math skills. The games are:</p>

<p>This compilation includes the following three games:* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11902/walls-of-rome/">Walls of Rome</a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Star+Legions">Star Legions</a></li>

</ul>

<p><em>Keno</em> is a simple, no frills adaptation of the popular casino game. You must pick up to fifteen numbers out of eighty total. Once you've done that, the computer will choose twenty random numbers.</p>
<p>If any of the numbers you chose are the same as the ones that came up during the random drawing, you win a prize. If you pick more numbers, the maximum prize will also increase - but it'll also be harder to win the minimum $1 payout.</p>

<p><em>Poker Galore</em> is a simulation of the classic Video Poker gambling machines. You have six different variants of Video Poker available for play:<em> </em>Jacks or Better*: The most popular form of Video Poker, you must get a pair of Jacks as a minimum to win a hand;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><em>Joker Poker</em>: Similar to Jacks or Better, but with an added Joker card, which can be used to represent any other card in the deck, therefore improving your hand.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>Deuces Wild</em>: All deuces ('2' cards) are considered wild. However, you now require a hand containing three of a kind as a minimum to win a prize.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>Multi-Meter Progressive</em>: This is almost the same as Jacks or Better, but you can bet up to six coins in this mode. Whenever you bet six coins, a special jackpot increases. The more you bet six coins, the larger the jackpot.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>Double Down</em>: The game begins just like Jacks or Better. If you get a winning hand, you have the chance to double your winnings by playing against the computer. The dealer will draw a card, and you will have a choice between four different ones. If your card is higher than the dealer's, you win double your prize. You can continue doing this as long as you wish, or until you lose.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>Second Chance</em>: The game plays like Jacks or Better, but if you win and the computer notices you have a chance at getting a straight or better with a card, it'll ask you if you want to try it. You can then bet again and if you win, you earn your original payoff plus the bonus one.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The game also keeps a score of your total winnings, hands played, and other statistics.</p>

<p>The game is a computer adaptation of an American TV game show, where two competitors should win a game and money, throwing dice, eliminating certain numbers and answering trivial questions.</p>
<p>The gameplay flows in real-time mode. For each roll of the dice a question must be answered. The first player should press his/her keys to have a chance to answer the question. If the first player to hit their key answers correctly, then he or she have control of the dice and may decide whether to roll them or pass them to the other player. If however the first player to answer answers incorrectly, then the other player has control of the dice and may roll or pass.</p>
<p>In the <em>one player game</em>, you compete against the computer. In novice mode the computer plays less intelligently than in expert mode and responds incorrectly to questions more often. The <em>two player game</em> follows the same format as <em>one player game</em>, but with both human opponents playing at hot-seat.</p>
<p>The object of the game is to clear the columns of numbers thus winning the money total at the bottom of the column (if you win the game). In order to take numbers off the board you must answer a question correctly or be passed the dice. You roll the dice trying not to roll a total that doesn't equal some of the remaining numbers on the board. For example if there are only three numbers left on the board it is probably a good idea to pass the dice since there are quite a few illegal rolls. For every Doubles you roll, you get an insurance marker which allows you to roll illegally without losing the game (but only once). You can take off 1,2,3 or 4 numbers from the board at one time.</p>
<p>Winning the competition, <em>Bonus Round</em> will be proposed to a player. Its idea is to clear all of the numbers off of the board, without rolling an illegal combination (without an insurance marker). If a player achieves the goal, he/she get an additional $10,000! After a player completes the bonus round he/she become the current champion and subsequent players must play him/her until they defeat him/her. But the current champion does not appear in the <em>High Rollers Champions file</em> until he/she loses.</p>
<p>Hi-scores are written in Top Ten Table.</p>

<p>Version 2.0 of <em>The Las Vegas EGA Casino</em> is an updated version of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/26625/the-las-vegas-ega-casino/">original</a>.

<p>The first playable version of the GemStone series, as <em>GemStone I</em> was a prototype only, <em>GemStone ][</em>  is an early text-based online multiplayer game, in the genre of medieval fantasy, in a world called Elanthia. There were four possible professions: Warriors, mages, clerics, and thieves. </p>
<p><em>GemStone ][</em> was the most popular game on the early GEnie online service, running from April 1988 until January 1, 1990, when it was entirely replaced by <a href="/search/?q=GemStone+III">GemStone III</a>.</p>

<p>You are a small, modern boy who finds himself in a magical land. Dr. Malvado, whose name means Evil in Spanish language, rules in this world and he should be stopped by you, because you are a good boy. But in your perilous mission different opponents will prevent you from doing this. Such opponents are bears, wasps, spiders, ghosts, etc. and any contact with them means your death. Fortunately, you are not limited by 1 life but by 3 lives and sometimes may be increased with bonus life. To progress in the game, you (represented in 2D side-scrolling view) should move left/right, jump over obstacles and on the opponents to kill them, collect the bagels, reach the checkpoints to resume the game from such place, and going from level to level. There are 3 levels in the game, and you should show as high score as possible.</p>
<p>Originally, the game was made for <em>"DIV Games Studio"</em>, game development suite by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1632/hammer-technologies/">Hammer Technologies</a>.</p>

<p><em>Advanced Strategic Command</em> is a free, turn based strategy game very similar to <a href="/search/?q=Blue+Byte">Blue Byte's</a> <a href="/search/?q=Battle+Isle">Battle Isle</a> series. There are different playing modes, most of them intended for games against other human players. But there is also an AI and a campaign mode.</p>
<p>The campaign mode against the AI helps new players get accustomed to the gameplay. It also introduces new units step by step - there are dozens of them - and ways of acquiring the three different resources crucial to success. These resources are sometimes injected automatically into the player's (or enemy's) industry, but sometimes they have to be transported to buildings, factories or hot spots by specialized supply and repair/refill units.
It goes without saying that intelligence gathering (or denying) and recon units also play a very important role.</p>
<p>Like in the original <em>Battle Isle</em> series most units have more than one weapon system, but <em>Advanced Strategic Command</em> adds a slight touch of realism by applying the paper-stone-scissors principle to the combat mechanics. Besides their default damage, which is called punch here, weapons have certain modifiers which make them better against certain type of targets, e.g. a machine gun is good vs infantry but inadequate against armoured vehicles. Also some weapons are less effective against distant targets, but can be devastating at closer range.</p>
<p>The map editor can be used to create own maps. If offers a great variety of terrain textures and buildings</p>

<p><em>Stugan</em> is a Swedish text-based joke adventure game. Like in other text adventures you are presented with detailed descriptions of the place you are at, and the directions in which you can exit the area. You write simple commands (all in Swedish) to move in a direction, pick up, use or look at objects and talk to people.</p>
<p>The game takes place in and around a cottage (stuga, in swedish) in the Swedish province Småland. The house is disproportionally large on the inside, with 9 floors and a basement with caves, mazes and traps you have to navigate through. As you navigate through the mazes you'll find items and treasures which you can use later on, or trade for extra points.</p>
<p>The game was originally written in BASIC in 1977-78 on the Oden Mainframe computer at QZ, the computer science institute of the Stockholm University and Royal Institute of Technology, where the game was also available for free for users of the mainframe. This version was later developed for DOS systems in 1985 and released commercially in 1986.</p>

<p>From the days of fighting sail comes this game of combat on the high seas.</p>
<p>Although produced very early in the PC era (1988), <em>Ralph Bosson's High Seas</em> works from a graphical deck view, resorting to a chart view only for position checks (which can become important in fleet engagements). It operates either on 10-game-minute turns, or interrupt-to-issue-orders mode. It models the effects of wind on maneuvering and the effects of different ammo types against the wooden walls and sails of opposing vessels. A very advanced feature included is a scenario designer.</p>
<p>The game can be played either hot-seated or with a computer opponent.</p>

The last adventure puts Tush-Tush in a chase after the thieving King Evil.
In each adventure Tush-Tush must collect the treasure and reach his goal while avoiding the various obstacles.</p>
<p>Gameplay is similar to that of the original TV show.  The player must use the number pad (or four arrow keys) in order to move Tush-Tush left, right and make him jump and crouch.</p>

<p>This sequel to the first <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/34940/last-half-of-darkness/">Last Half of Darkness</a> picks up where Part I ended. The protagonist wakes up in a strange room alone, near a dungeon. The girl whom he saved in the first chapter of the saga is nowhere to be found, and the hero soon discovers that she is going to be sacrificed to an ancient volcano deity. The player must stop this at all costs.</p>
<p><em>Last Half of Darkness II</em> is an adventure game that uses the same engine as its predecessor. Maintaining the horror atmosphere, the game has the player interact with the environment by selecting verb commands and collecting items to solve puzzles and advance the story.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/40351/last-half-of-darkness-ii/">Last Half of Darkness Part II</a> starts where Part II left off. The hero finds himself stranded alone on an island inhabited by living dead (which seem to not have vicious or violent intentions) and, again, has to find the girl he saved in the previous chapters of the saga.</p>
<p>The third installment of the series utilizes a different engine and interface. Instead of selecting concrete verb commands, the players interacts with the environment in a point-and-click fashion. Another difference is the introduction of a life bar for the player character, which reduces the amount of instant death moments, replacing them with damage taken by the protagonist. The exploration is also more open-ended than in the previous installments.</p>

<p><em>The Dark Convergence</em> is a very rare horror adventure game from the early '90s.</p>
<p>The plot is simple: one night the player and some friends have a car crash on a near-deserted road. The player is sent out to search for some help and stumbles on an abandoned house. Inside it bloody bodies are found, and unknown menaces from other worlds and other dimensions try to kill the player. Will you survive the night and save the day?</p>
<p>The game is programmed in QBasic (there is even the .bas file inside the game's folder) and the engine is similar to the one used in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/180/hugo-series/">Hugo's House of Horror series</a>. The player controls the character with arrow keys and types the desired action using the parser.</p>
<p>The game focuses on a morbid atmosphere and on violence with many nasty and gory situations in it. The plot and atmosphere for some ideas are reminiscent of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/302/dark-seed/">Dark Seed</a>.</p>

<p>This is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/40353/the-dark-convergence/">The Dark Convergence</a> and takes place some time after the end of the original game.</p>
<p>The player has survived the horrible night, but his mind is deeply scarred by the horrors he had to face. In fact, the player lives as a bum, wandering aimlessly on the streets, not capable of retrieving his own lost sanity. A new horrid menace may be lurking underneath the apparent calm and may be linked to the psychiatrist who is searching for the player...</p>
<p>This game uses the same engine as the original game with similar gameplay and atmospheres.</p>

<p>Here you have an typical mid-nineties economic simulation which, you guessed it, simulates a airline company.</p>
<p>At the start of the game you own 100% of a stock corporation with a few million dollars capital. With this money you buy airplanes, which differ in statistics like range, price or room. On a world map you define routes, ticket prices and load (passengers or commodities) and send them on the flight. The rest is handled by the game itself and the only thing you have to do is buying new planes, sell parts of your stock due to financial difficulties, watch your balance sheet and handle a few random events like strikes or oil crises. Due to the nature of the game you'll spend all your time either on the world map or in front of statistics.</p>

<li><a href="/search/?q=Shadows">Shadows</a>: Shoot asteroids with a crosshair cursor. Pure arcade gameplay in this one.</li>
</ul>
<p>Besides the separate high score lists for each of the six games there is also another list which takes track of your overall performance.</p>

<p>There is also a training mode in which you can select the individual levels.</p>

<p>NFL Football is an action oriented game based on the popular sport. It is played in real-time so you have to think and act fast. In comparison to other arcade sports simulations, there are relative many coaching options.</p>
<p>It is officially licensed by the NFL and you can choose between about 30 teams. Playing modes are preseason matches, practice and a full season. Because there are only 30 teams a season is not very long.</p>

<p>Similar to its predecessor <a href="/search/?q=NFL+Football">NFL Football</a> this is a licensed game about American football. It is action oriented and it is played in real-time so you have to think and act fast. In comparison to other arcade sports simulation there are relative many coaching options.</p>

<p>You could think of Star Hammer as <a href="/search/?q=Wing+Commander">Wing Commander</a> in 2D. You are the pilot of a combat space ship which has to destroy enemies or protect friendly shuttles. The game features 40 linear missions with the main goal to defeat an enemy alien race. In a topdown perspective you steer the ship through the space and shoot at enemies. Your ship has different weapons and a shield which decreases when enemies hit your ship. On the upper left corner is a mini map which shows friend and foe. Several in vector graphics animated cutscenes play during the campaign.</p>

<p>You are in the land Darkmoore which is reigned by the evil Lexnor. And because you are playing an RPG you have to defeat him. For this purpose you travel through Darkmoore to conquer dungeons and maximize your fame. You can choose between five  classes.</p>
<p>The screen is divided into two parts. On the left side is always our hero, the right side is reserved for various indexes like a map. This is, if you play alone. Quite unusually for RPGS of its time you can play the game with a friend - the second player is seen on the right side of the screen.</p>
<p>Before every fight you can try to bribe your enemy.</p>

<p>It's war. And you are the head of one of three states with one goal: conquer the other states. To achieve this goal you have a top-down look on the map to extend the controlled area in this round-based strategy game.</p>
<p>Every city has a production potential which is based on its industrial level. You can distribute this potential to perform certain actions, e.g. build new troops or increase the social system.

<p>Once per turn you can use your radar to search in the unknown parts of the map to find your enemies.</p>

<p>Weebee Worlds is a puzzle game similar to <a href="/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a>: There are several boxes on the game field you have to push on the right spot. You have to consider that a level cannot be won if you push a box on the edge of the screen or if you block the way to the exit.</p>
<p>There are several gimmicks: teleporters, trampolines or transparent floors. There is no strict time limit - you can puzzle as long as you need to, but after a certain time you don't get any points for the high score list. Another interesting feature is the "Undo" function to revoke failed moves. You can use it five times per level.</p>
<p>The game has 55 levels and an editor to build your own.</p>

<p>Crazy Crack is a <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> variant. You have a paddle which bounces a ball up and down to break blocks on the game field.</p>
<p>There are several blocks which give the ball special attributes - either useful or deadly. Additional there is a panic button to hide the windows and an editor to create your own levels. </p>
<p>The game features 100 levels and in the shareware edition you can play 10 out of them. The editor is only included in the full version.</p>

<p><em>Skat 2095</em> is a simulation of the card game skat and the successor of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/40414/skat-2010/">Skat 2010</a>. There are many variants, but here is the principle: The game is usually played with three persons. Two of the players are playing against a single one but are not allowed to communicate. Each card has a value and one suit is called "Trumpf". In every round each player looses one of his card and the one which played the "Trumpf" card with the highest value gets all the played cards. If no "Trumpf" is played the highest value scores. At the end each player counts the values of his cards. The goal for the single player is to get more points than the other two combined.</p>
<p>The main feature of <em>Skat 2095</em> is the integration of many local skat variants. If your favorite rule set is not included you can create it yourself with the freely adjustable rules. In comparison to Skat 2010 there are a few new features: A tutorial, animated graphics by German artist Uli Stein and more voice acting.</p>
<p>In the shareware version you can't change the rules, can't change the names of your opponents and can't save your game. Additional there are other smaller restrictions during the gameplay.</p>
<p>In 2001 there was a commercial <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/40589/skat-2095-special-edition/">special edition</a> distributed which features only the official rules.</p>

<p><em>Skat 3000</em> is a simulation of the card game skat and the successor of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/40415/skat-2095/">Skat 2095</a>. There are many variants, but here is the principle: the game is usually played with three persons. Two of the players are playing against a single one, but are not allowed to communicate. Each card has a value and one suit is called "Trumpf". In every round each player loses one of his cards and the one who played the "Trumpf" card with the highest value gets all the played cards. If no "Trumpf" is played, the highest value wins. At the end each player counts the value of his cards. The goal for the single player is to get more points than the other two combined.</p>
<p>The main feature of <em>Skat 3000</em> is the integration of many local skat variants. If your favorite rule set is not included you can create it yourself with the freely adjustable rules.

In the shareware version are several restrictions present, e.g. no adjustable rules and no save option.</p>
<p>In 2005 there was a commercial <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/40590/skat-3000-special-edition/">special edition</a> distributed which features only the official rules.</p>

<p><em>Solitaire XXL</em> features several solitaire rule sets of the popular card game. It also contains a unique card set drawn by German artist <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Uli+Stein">Uli Stein</a>. The shareware version has several restrictions: it can only be played ten times, there is just one rule set and the special card set is not available.</p>

<p><em>Darghul</em> is a German shareware RPG comparable to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/104/ultima-vi-the-false-prophet/">Ultima VI</a>. You are trying to shed light on the murder of your parents and the changes in the behaviour of the king.</p>
<p>To reach this goal you explore several cities in a isometric perspective. To speak with the residents you have to type keywords like in the Ultima games.
The combat is turn-based. A speciality is that the handling of weapons and armor plays an important part. With an inexperienced character it is often more effective to use a worse but easier to handle weapon.</p>
<p>The shareware version allows you to play approximately half of the game. When you pay the registration fee you get access to the whole game.</p>

<p><em>Abenteuer Atlantis</em> is a promotional game for the food manufacturer Knorr. You are playing as Knorrli who has to rescue his folk in Mesopotamia from starvation and epidemics. This evolves into a search after the legendary Atlantis.</p>
<p>It is played like many other adventure games: You search rooms after useful objects, use objects to solve puzzles and combine inventory items. There are only three commands - walk, use and speak - which can selected either with the mouse or the function keys. Knorrli automatic takes items when you click on them.</p>

<p><em>Abenteuer Europa</em> is a promotional game by the German party SPD to reach new voters for the election of the European Parliament in 1994. In this game you are playing as journalist Fred Beck who travels through countries of the European Union while revealing a conspiracy of organized crime.</p>
<p>The gameplay is focused on solving straightforward inventory puzzles and finding small objects. Conversations are multiple choice and have no bearing on the game - if you choose the wrong answer you just have to try again until you find the right one. The handling is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2264/cruise-for-a-corpse/">Cruise for a Corpse</a>: Right-click on a object and choose the appropriate command.</p>
<p>Between scenarios you have to read short texts about European problems and what the SPD thinks to be the right solutions to them. In these texts are hidden letters which result in a password to participate in a lottery.</p>

<p><em>Arnie Goes 4 Gold</em> is a promotional game by an Austrian bank. This is an humorous adventure which plays with many Austrian stereotypes - it begins with the name of the protagonist: Arnie. After the death of his rich uncle Fritz he inherits a key to a house - but first he has to find it.</p>
<p>The handling is similar to the SCUMM system found in the classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/72/lucasfilm-games/">LucasArts</a> adventures: You select between six verbs to interact with your surroundings. Unlike most adventures you can take several objects with you which have no use in the game. The puzzles mostly center around finding hidden items and using them in a creative way. And, of course, the usage of services provided by Bank Austria. This game was linked with a lottery.</p>

<p>The year is 1993. The rock star Axel Pose is on the peak of his success and in celebration of his new album, a radio station organizes a lottery. Answer five question about this album and win a meeting with Axel Pose. This game is based on the real-life band Guns 'n' Roses and their front man <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/273650/axl-rose/">Axl Rose</a>. As a big fan, you are of course trying to buy the album immediately - but it is not as easy as it seems...</p>
<p>As a promotional game, <em>Backstage</em> is neither long nor complicated. With a standard point-and-click interface you solve puzzles and speak to people. During the whole game, an advertising message is clearly delivered urging the player to join Lifeclub, a real buyer's club for purchasing products at discounted prices.</p>

<p>You just wanted to call the breakdown service using the public phone, but suddenly a mysterious guy calls you "Adam", chains a suitcase to your arm and tells you to deliver it.</p>
<p><em>Blue Code</em> is played similarly to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Choose-Your-Own-Adventure+games">Choose-Your-Own-Adventure</a> books: You just say "yes" or "no". If you have the right item in your inventory the games chooses the appropriate action for you. Because of this most tasks consist of mini-games or buying the right item from the store. The only freedom is the town map where you can choose your next destination. There is no save option.</p>
<p>The freely distributed game is actually just the half of it - you had to request the other half with a codeword found inside the game.</p>

<p><em>Captain Gysi und das Raumschiff Bonn</em> is a promotional game for the German political party PDS (Party of Democratic Socialism). You are playing as Captain Gysi, in real life the chairman of the PDS, who has to rescue the spaceship Bonn, the German seat of government. Why rescue it?

<p>In 1109 the last landgrave who is loyal to the emperor is murdered. It's anarchy in the Holy Roman Empire! Obviously you are playing as one landgrave who wants to become the most important man.</p>
<p>Similar to the German classic <a href="/search/?q=Kaiser">Kaiser</a>, you issue commands like attacking, producing food or weapons and building castles in many different and complicated menus. The outcomes of combats are calculated by the computer, the game itself is completely turn-based.</p>

<p>You are playing as Inspector Zebok who has a new case to solve: the death of a notary - natural death or murder?</p>
<p>The gameplay consists basically of three actions: going to certain destinations and search them, questioning witnesses and giving orders to your staff. When searching a place you have to click on interesting items in the video window and watch a video of Zebok's actions. It is possible to miss clues and make the game impossible to beat.</p>
<p>At the start of the game you have to choose your staff of six people out of about 20. You can't use them anytime, just at certain places.</p>

<p>As a devil named Little Giovanni you have to beat about 40 levels. In each level there are three hidden golden hairs which have to be found to open the exit to the next stage. You have no weapons but you can kill some enemies by jumping on their heads. Like in <a href="/search/?q=Super+Mario+Bros">Super Mario Bros</a> you get bonus items by bouncing on floating blocks, such as invulnerability or extra lives. None of them are power-ups, this means every enemy contact results in a life loss. In underwater levels you have to swim into oxygen bubbles to avoid drowning.</p>

<p><em>Royal Flush</em> is a simulation of the real life pinball machine of the same name by Gottlieb. The main focus lies on a realistic feeling and the ball physics. The game is played with just four buttons: two to handle the two paddles, one to release the balls, and one to simulate the shaking on a real pinball machine. </p>
<p>The whole table uses a poker design. There are multiple ways to receive bonus points, e.g. hitting one of the five cards on the upper part, three bumpers or The Hole which gives you a lot of points and lands the ball on the right paddle. Depending on the graphics card there are two ways how the machine is simulated: it is either stationary (you see the hole table at once) or it scrolls with the playing ball.</p>
<p>The game features an extensive menu where you can set almost all aspects of the pinball machine, including inclination, number of playing balls and the amount of currency which flows through the paddles.</p>

<p><em>Bonus</em> is an Israeli computerized version of the word game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Scrabble">Scrabble</a>, completely in Hebrew. The game can be played between two players or against the computer.</p>
<p>The name of the game is derived from the bonus squares placed outside of the regular game table. Successfully placing a letter on one of these squares may earn the player a bonus, automatically or through the completion of a mini-game.</p>

<p>In this game you are playing as a just elected mayor of the small Bavarian village Tupfingen. It is no serious political simulation but a snappy satire of the Bavarian lifestyle and their politics.</p>
<p>When you start your game you have to choose your political goals, e.g. support the agriculture or become the site of the Olympic Games. The most important businesses of Tupfingen are tourism, agriculture, small business enterprises and clubs. Of course every one of them wants you to support them and every one has lobbyists in the local council which have the power to foil your plans if dissatisfied. If that's the case you have to bribe your way to success - but not with official money but with the winnings of your butchery (which success depends also on the political situation).</p>
<p>Every round lasts a few minutes in which you have to adhere deadlines to every important decision which arises, e.g. negotiations with estate agents or potential investors. Also there is the matter of expanding the agenda for  the next local council meeting. On these meetings you have to enforce your plans against your political enemies - with arguments or bribes. A special gimmick are humorous videos from the German news magazine "heute journal" with the original newsreaders where they comment on your successes or failings.</p>
<p>The graphics are consisting solely of stills, Bavarian folk music accompanies you during the game.</p>

<p>This is a remake of the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13151/bolo/">Bolo</a> for Atari ST. It is a <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> variant with a twist: Your paddle is not restricted to the bottom of the screen -- it can move all around the screen. Your goal is still to destroy all the blocks on the game field.</p>
<p>There are a lot of gimmicks in the 50 levels: lack of gravity, ice levels with slippery controls or various paddle forms. Sometimes a rubber band is used to tie the ball to the paddle, to a block or even combinations of the two. Even the blocks offer a big variety of effects: magnetising the ball, teleport the ball, obscuring the game field or the summoning of killer paddles are just a few of them.</p>
<p>You can only save one game which gets deleted if you load it. Every level has a illustrated background. When scoring a highscore of 50,000 points or more you get access to a training mode where you can choose the levels directly.</p>

<p>The evil witch Hexana kidnapped Hugo's family and he has to rescue them. This game contains five ported levels from the popular TV show:</p>
<ul>
<li>Level 1/1: Hugo is driving on a draisine and has to dodge oncoming trains and dead ends by changing the tracks. On the right side of the screen is a map of the route.</li>
<li>Level 1/2: Hugo has to cross a forest and has to dodge several obstacles by jumping over them.</li>
<li>Level 2/1: Hugo is climbing a mountain and has to dodge oncoming stones by jumping over them.</li>
<li>Level 2/2: Hugo is flying a airplane and has to dodge oncoming balloons.</li>
<li>Level 3: You have to choose between three ropes. If you choose the right one your points get doubled.</li>
</ul>
<p>In every playthrough you have to beat three levels which you choose beforehand. You have to select either 1/1 or 1/2 and either 2/1 or 2/2. Because the levels were created for a TV show were you had to control Hugo with your phone buttons, the controls are simple: Depending on the level there are just two or three buttons to press at the right time.</p>
<p>The levels contained in <em>Hugo</em> were originally released as <a href="/search/?q=Hugo+-+Pa+Nye+Eventyr">Hugo - Pa Nye Eventyr</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Hugo+-+Pa+Nye+Eventyr+II">Hugo - Pa Nye Eventyr II</a>.</p>

<p>The only thing you have to do in this puzzle game is re-assemble a computer-garbled shape in a limited number of turns.</p>
<p>The shape consists of blue squares, the rest of the play field are grey squares. You interact with the field by pressing arrows which are on the end of every row and column. In the beginning each arrow moves the field one square in the arrow direction - later it may be more or an arrow is deactivated.</p>
<p><em>Madragon</em> features three shapes, multiple difficulty levels and a password system. In the shareware version you have unlimited access to the features.</p>

<p><em>Inordinate Desire</em> is a turn-based strategy game with action elements. As commander of a spaceship carrier you have to conquer foreign planets.</p>
<p>Every day is represented by a round. In the beginning of a round you are in your carrier and have these options: Buy new units, send pilots on patrol, repair ships and look at statistics. When this is taken care of you use your spaceship and fly to the planet. There you can give orders to your units and tell them to move or shoot. Yes, move <em>or</em> shoot - a unit can't do both in one round. Because you can't see the condition of the hostile units you have to act blindly. Additionally you can build deposits and radar units on the planet. The deposits are used to repair damaged units and with the radar units you start air strikes - but the radius is low, so you are more likely to kill your own troops.</p>
<p>At the end of the round all your orders get evaluated. Sometimes your carrier gets attacked by one hostile spaceship. Then you have to kill the attacker in a simple action sequence similar to <a href="/search/?q=Wing+Commander">Wing Commander</a>: You sit in a spaceship and shoot rockets.</p>

<p><em>Future Dimensions</em> is an old-school shooter: Park your thumb on the first fire button to spray your shots and use the digipad or joystick to dodge the shots of your enemy and collect special symbols. With green symbols, you tune your four weapon types - but you can't switch them yourself - they change when you pick up a corresponding symbol. Other symbols give you extras like homing rockets or small satellites which circle around your ship and protect you against damage. With a second fire button you can use smart bombs to clear the whole screen.</p>
<p>Each of the six big levels consists of three stages: A 3D, a vertical and a horizontal shooter stage. The programmers didn't skimp on the graphical effects: There is always something that explodes or presents something similar to the eye. Between the levels are rendered 3D cutscenes and bonus games which nod at classic games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/64335/pac-man/">Pac Man</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8402/galaga/">Galaga</a>.</p>

<p>Remember the days as a kid when you were fascinated with these big machines on the building site? With this game you have the opportunity to try them out! You can use either the excavator, bulldozer, steamroller or wrecking ball. The handling couldn't be easier, there are just three buttons to press: left, right and use.</p>
<p>With each machine you get a simple task, e.g. carry three shovels of dirt on a truck. But the fun thing is that you aren't restricted to this and can just screw around. Why wreck an old house when the pit latrine is so much more tempting? The whole game is presented in full motion video - the reactions are very humorous and with a fair share of slapstick. To improve the long time motivation there are even multiple videos for every action, e.g. the first time you break a road block with the excavator you drive on a highway, the second time into a canyon, the third time onto a rollercoaster and so on...</p>

<p>The strategy-game Magic of Endoria takes place in the fantasy kingdom Endoria. Aeons ago the gods of Endoria were disgusted by the badness in the world and morphed themselves into crystal splinters and retreated into the underworld. Who gets all these splinters becomes the master of Endoria. Now two rival arch mages got aware of this myth and go on the search. You are one of them.</p>
<p>Of course you have to dig deep into the underground to find them. Your responsibility lies in the building. managing and defending of mines. To achieve this you hire employees with different professions: Craftsmen, researchers, mine workers, hauliers and warriors. These people want to see money for their work and they improve their abilities when they become experienced. </p>
<p>During the game you dig new alleys, equip them with traps, research new tools and fight against enemy troops to conquer their alleys. Later you have mutated creatures to your disposal. You spend most of your time on a map with hexagonal fields. There you issue orders and set the routes of your employees. </p>
<p>The in 1995 released CD-ROM version features speech, new background music and an online help. Additionally there is a "light" version of the game which tones down the complexity.</p>
<p>The PC version of Magic Endoria differs from the Commodore 64 version released the previous year in that it is real time instead of turn based.</p>

<p>Despite the name, this game is not about the historical crusades. The scenarios in <em>Crusade</em> are fully fictional and in the campaign you spend your time conquering hostile castles.</p>
<p>The graphics are the standard look of round-based tactical games: A map with hexagonal fields. You can use 15 different units, from combat troops to magicians and spies. Other possibilities are ships or even dragons, which have a better attack range than regular troops.</p>
<p>In combat it is not only crucial to have good attack and defend values - the mere mass is important too. That's why you can group up to 50 soldiers together. Additional to the combat you have to ensure of the supply chain with corn by conquering villages and farms or your soldiers will die of hunger instead of by the sword. </p>
<p>In the options you can change several settings to spice up the game. The game features two editors to change the provided missions and create your own.</p>

<p>Players drive an 18-wheel truck around the country picking up and delivering a variety of commodities with typed-in commands (TURN ON MOTOR, LOOK AT MAP, REST, REPAIR, GO TO GAS STATION, etc.). As players travel between the cities, they learn valuable skills such as problem solving, map reading, and decision making. They'll learn time management, decide when to eat and sleep, and watch road conditions.</p>

<p>In <em>Strike Base</em> the earth is once again threatened by alien forces. The player controls Admiral Leighton who has to coordinate and lead the defense battles on four moons with different geographical features (lava, mountains, forest and underground). Every mission begins with the tactical map where the actual combat situation is shown. Then the player has to equip the vehicles with the appropriate weapons, defenses and other tactical items like satellites or teleports. In every mission the player has a predefined set of the four vehicle types at his disposal (two tanks, a bomber and a battle glider). </p>
<p>After these tactical preparations begins the action part of <em>Strike Base</em>: The player controls the vehicles in 1st or 3rd person view and shoots at the alien troops, e.g. rocket launchers, tanks or mines. Of course the player can only use one unit at a time, so he can set waypoints for the others. The vehicles are almost completely mouse controlled, the keyboard used solely to control the speed. Destroyed enemies leave refreshments for the player's equipment, it can also be stocked up at the base.</p>
<p>The 15 missions have varied goals, e.g. destroying all enemies, finding escape capsules or destroying specific hostile units. A mission is lost when all units are destroyed or the enemy conquers the player's base. There are four difficulty settings which affect the number and strength of the enemies but only on the two higher settings can all missions be played.</p>

<p><em>Vardit VeHaShokolada BeMasluley HaOlympiada</em> was released as a part of a marketing campaign of Vered Hagalil, an Israeli dairy product manufacturer, around the 1996 Summer Olympics.
The game is one out of three games which together form the <em>Vardit Adventures</em> (the other two were released separately on <a href="/search/?q=Vardit+BeHapartka+Hadasha+BeHalifut+HaGlisha">a different floppy</a>) .</p>
<p>In this game, Vardit has to run and complete an Olympic course while avoiding various related obstacles and balls, and collect a set amount of chocolate packets in the process.</p>

<p><em>Vardit BeHarpatka Hadasha BeAlifut HaGlisha</em> was released as a part of a marketing campaign of Vered Hagalil, an Israeli dairy product manufacturer. The floppy contains two out of three games which together form the <em>Vardit Adventures</em> (the remaining game being <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/40871/vardit-vehashokolada-bemasluley-haolympiada/">Vardit VeHaShokolada BeMasluley HaOlympiada</a>).</p>

<p><em>The Discoverers</em> is a multimedia interactive CD with mini-games, based on a IMAX documentary about historical figures that achieved great advances in science. The film itself is based on a book by the Pulitzer winner <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/373145/daniel-j-boorstin/">Daniel Boorstin</a>, and it is included in its entirety on the CD. It can be played from the main screen, with a series of buttons at the bottom to skip forwards or backwards or to access the other portions of the program. Clicking the movie frame on key moments brings up a separate screen, showing a related entry about the subject.</p>
<p>The exploration screen shows a large picture with a timeline underneath at the right side, and a box with scrolling text at the bottom-left. A world globe appears inside a window, that can be rotated with the surrounding arrow buttons and clicked to go to another topic by region. The timeline has a slider that can be moved to change the subject by historical dates. There are voice overs for all the text.</p>
<p>There are two guessing games, where the objective is to click on the correct picture for a scientist or explorer. On the "mis-discovery" game, the player moves inside a crudely rendered 3D maze with the mouse, bumping into blocky sprites to bring up a text window with a statement. There are three facts per level, and one of them is a scientific blunder made by ancient people, philosophers or explorers. At the end of each labyrinth, the goal is to choose one of the three exits marked A, B, C corresponding to the incorrect assumption.</p>

<p>In <em>Space Shuttle</em>, the player can learn the history of NASA's Space Shuttle program including the Enterprise, Discovery, Atlantis, Columbia, Challenger, and the Endeavor.

<p>The only actual gameplay consists of a first-person shooter where the player can get into a satellite and by using mounted lasers, blow away waves of space debris.</p>

<p><em>Total Pinball</em> features the same four tables as its predecessor <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6873/pinball-mania/">Pinball Mania</a>, just slightly changed : Kick Off centres around soccer/football, Jail Break is set in a prison, Tarantula reflects Spidersoft's name and logo as it features a rampant spider, and Jackpot is based around gambling.</p>
<p>The main difference is the optional presentation of the tables in an isometric 3D view. The second main feature is a recording function to save a played game to the hard drive. During replay, it is possible to watch the game in 3D even if it was played in the 2D mode. Playback is only available from within the game. It ialso offers a monochromatic video mode.</p>
<p>Gameplay is the genre standard: Right and left shift for the flippers, space for nudging. The player can set the inclination of the tables, the amount of balls per game (3 to 5) and during multiball (up to 10).</p>

<p>In <em>Club &amp; Country</em> the player is the coach of a English soccer team and is in charge of the athletic and financial success. He starts in the Third Division and eventually becomes the English national coach.

<p>The matches are displayed in a screen where the lineup of the player's and the enemy's team is given. There is no animation but there is a text commentary on the bottom of the screen. The player is able to make tactical changes during the game and substitute players. When a special event happens, e.g. a goal, a still in comic graphics is displayed.</p>

<p>In <em>Der Produzent: Die Welt des Films</em> the player is a film producer. The goal is to earn one billion Deutschmark within 20 years by producing and marketing popular movies.</p>
<p>The first step in making a picture is of course the script which is either purchased under several scripts for sale or as a commissioned work. The next step is to employ actors and a director with values in different character traits as charisma or experience. Besides the obvious budget restrictions the player has to consider antipathies, e.g. a vain actor might not want to work under a inexperienced director. Then the player has to rent one of six studios and one of four recording studio. The last action is to set the budget of the movie in six categories such as special effects and scenery. During the shooting there is the possibility of several random events, e.g. a fire or arguments between the actors. </p>
<p>After the making comes the marketing of the movie. Costly is the direct marketing in movie theaters or video stores. Then the player has to care for advertising in TV, radio or magazines. On the other hand extra cash can be made with the official CD or video game. Easier is it to sell the movie to a TV station or sell the whole rights to another publisher. </p>
<p>The main menu is a picture of a office. There the player chooses his actions respectively submenu either by clicking on the corresponding office items or the icon bar. Every action costs time and after a certain time the round, which represents one day, ends.</p>

Additionally the company can branch out into cognate businesses such as a bodyguard service, car rental or sightseeing tours. It is possible to open divisions in Central Europe, USA and Scandinavia. The winning conditions can be set before beginning a new game, e.g. the number of opened divisions, market share or profit. </p>
<p>The main aspect of the game is similar to other managerial simulations: Employing personnel, getting orders and setting trip routes for the vehicles. Some routine jobs can be ceded to computer controlled managers. The main menu is a building with several doors - every door leads to a menu screen, e.g. the telephone exchange, were the according actions can be carried out. Every action costs time and at the end of the day the turn is over.</p>
<p>Additionally there are two action sequences which can be disabled: A scavenger hunt were the player drives with his car through a city and searches ordained locations. At the end he has to answer a trivia question and win prize money. The other game is a robbery of a money transport were the player sedates the robbers by shooting them with a cross hair.</p>

<p>In <em>Scorched Planet</em> the player takes the role of Commander Alex Gibson who has to defend the earth colony Dator 5 from alien invaders. He uses a combat vehicle which is a hybrid between a heavy armed aircraft and a heavy armed tank. It can always drive but needs fuel for flying.</p>
<p>But the main aspect isn't just to kill the aliens. On every continent are settlers who have to be evacuated. The locations of these people are marked on the map, and when landing near them the player takes them in his vehicle and flies to a dimension gate to rescue them. But there is a maximum of five people per ride. The aliens aren't very happy about Gibson's efforts and so they try to kidnap the humans with their big freighters. Additionally they use giant spiders which infect the humans and transform them into willingness creatures. These zombies infect other humans by contact and explode after two minutes. But there is a antidote which the player gets by destroying a spider. It is used by throwing it into a crowd of infected people. Other aliens give other extras when destroyed, e.g. weapons, shield energy or invulnerability.</p>
<p>A tactical component comes into place with the city emblem which is used by the humans as an orientation point. This means when it is picked up and placed in another place, all people go to this point. On the way they pick up fuel. On the planets are soldiers which fight the aliens without the player's intervention. They also have a emblem the player can use. 
In the levels are additional tasks which have to be carried out to end the level, e.g. repairing chain bridges or deactivating cannons by cutting their power supply. Every three levels the player has to fight a boss.</p>

<p>In <em>Total Control</em> the player controls one of six rival parties which want to gain control of a random generated world. The game starts in the sector of the map were his base lies. The first tasks is to build all necessary buildings and troops. Mines are used to get four different kinds of ore which ensure the cash flow. Other buildings have the use of defending the base, e.g. anti-aircraft gun or radar towers, or attacking the enemy, e.g. combat robots or aircraft fabrics. A computer central improves the performance of all other buildings. Every building can be upgraded separately.</p>
<p>The main goal is to military defeat the other parties. At first the player needs to know where the enemy sits and uses his scout planes for this matter. With transporters the robots get to the enemy base. The combat is completely in real time but air combat gets fight out in an extra screen as opposed to the world map were the rest of the game takes place.</p>

<p><em>International Moto X</em> simulates off-road motorcycle races. The main part of the game is the championship mode in which the player controls a 125cc motorcycle. There are various different leagues on different continents.</p>
<p>At first the player creates his rider and sets the colour of his bike. More important is the tuning of the bike. It is possible to buy new dampers, tires or engines or update the ones already in use. Also there is a choice between three, four or five gears - inexperienced players can select automatic.</p>
<p>During the race the goal is obviously to be the fastest rider by using all the tricks in the book - including stunts like wheelies, risky jumps, sliding or forcing the competition out of the way. There are several shortcuts to use but when the player is caught doing so, he is penalized. Winning a race results in prize money which can be reinvested in better gear. After winning all races in a league the player is allowed to ride in the 500cc league.</p>
<p>Because the game is played in a 3rd person perspective there is no cockpit view - so all relevant data is shown in the upper left corner of the screen, including a mini map. Additionally there are two training modes, a time race and a training race against seven other riders on a course of choice. The game also features a scenery editor to create own courses but it not possible to save unfinished work. The competition editor allows the creation of new leagues with old or new courses.</p>

<p>In <em>Das Hexagon-Kartell</em> the eponymous crime syndicate practically controls the world. So the governments have no other choice than to found a task force, the United Navy, which shall take care of this problem. The player controls a member of the helicopter unit and leads operations against the Hexagon-Kartell in South America, North Africa, the Gulf of Mexico, China and the Pacific.</p>
<p>Every mission starts with the selection of the used helicopter - the game features nine of them: Apache AH-64, Super Cobra, Hind, Sea King, Blackhawk, Belll 222, UH1, MDD 500 and the game-exclusive Witchride. The helicopters have different flight parameters and weaponry, so it is important to choose a appropriate one for every mission. The missions offer a wide variety of goals, e.g. a stealthy destruction of enemy forces, locating convoys or transporting goods. The campaign is mostly non-linear, which means failures don't necessary lead to a game over but change the parameters of the next mission or unlocks an extra mission, e.g. when failing to rescue a crashed pilot the next mission is to rescue him from an enemy camp. </p>
<p>Additionally to the campaign there are 14 training missions available where a real-life instructor of the Federal Armed Forces (German: Bundeswehr) introduces the player to the helicopter flight. The difficulty is stepless adjustable, both in respect of the realism of the flight control and the enemy AI. The auto pilot offers a lot of possibilities, e.g. flying to all way points scarcely over the tree tops, holding the height or landing.</p>

<p><em>Sherlock</em> is a game of logic and deduction. It is your task to determine the locations of 36 blocks, based upon the information available in provided clues. Every puzzle can be solved by using the clues to eliminate possibilities until the location of a specific block can be determined.</p>
<p>The game screen is divided in several areas. The top-left area is the puzzle solve board. In the top-right area contain the horizontal or multi-column clues. The bottom row contain the vertical or 1-column clues.</p>
<p>A vertical clue tell the player that two squares are or are not in the same column. There are five types of horizontal clues. The "is next to" and "is not next to" clue says that two tiles are or are not adjacent to each other, but it doesn't say which one is on the left and on the right. The "is left of" clue (middle tile is yellow with 3 dots) says that one tile is to the left of another tile, but it doesn't say how far or close to the left.</p>
<p>The "is between" clue (three tiles with two sided arrow) says that three tiles are adjacent but this can be from left to right or from right to left. The "is not between" says the same except that the middle tile is not between the other two.</p>

<p>The premise of <em>Nihilist</em> is simple: The player controls a spaceship which has to beat deathmatches in an arena called Kraal. The gameplay is a mix between the classic games <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8929/beamrider/">Beamrider</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Star+Wars">Star Wars</a>. In <em>Beamrider</em> the player is on the bottom of a grid and shoots enemies on the upper part. <em>Star Wars</em> had among other things a sequence were the player flies in pseudo 3D through the Death Star.</p>
<p>In the 25 levels the player duels one enemy each. Additionally there are other ships which shoot both opponents and asteroids which either split when shot or give extras like better armor. There are three arenas: horizontal, vertical and spherical.

Later the player can expand or renovate his building, buy better furnishing, conclude insurances or even open a new division in another city. </p>
<p>When the player manages two flourishing fast food restaurants he gets promoted to General Manager of the whole USA.

His main task is the managing of the central division and the laboratories where new products are developed. Detectives can be used to sabotage competitors, search after bargain offers or guard own subsidiaries.
The time flows in real time which can be accelerated.</p>

<p>Every level has a different theme like a ghost mansion or a forest. Because the levels are big the game gives marks and tips where to go when reaching a branch. Most of the enemies are dispatched with the badger's gun which can be upgraded but sometimes there are puzzles to solve, e.g. a locked door needs a certain item to open which has to be found first. But because there is no time limit the player can take his time to solve them.</p>

<p>The game takes place during the First Intifada, and casts the player as an Israeli soldier who has to stop violent Palestinian protests, while following the current government's policy and avoiding unnecessary casualties.</p>
<p>In order to stop the protesters the player is able to make use of various methods and weapons - a club to commit arrests, tear gas, rubber bullets, plastic bullets and live fire.</p>
<p>Before each patrol, the open-fire policy defined by the defense minister is displayed.  The policy determines which methods may be used to stop different kinds of protesters (for example - the player may be able to use more lethal fire, such as plastic bullets, to stop protesters who fire molotov cocktails).</p>
<p>At the end of each patrol, if the player survives yet fails to follow the instructions and causes too many casualties, or fails to stop a sufficient amount of protesters, the public support will drop and the minister may be replaced, changing the open-fire policy for the next patrol.</p>

<p>Los Angeles is overrun with evil Nolan's mutant army! Now the player chooses one of six cars which distinguish from each other in strength and handling. Then he drives on Los Angeles' streets and shoots the mutants which attack from all directions. Every car has a machine gun with unlimited ammo. Against bigger enemies like trucks or car piles missiles are more effective but these are limited. </p>
<p>There are six levels to beat. Before every levels the player can stock up his ammo with credits he earned by shooting mutants. When crashing against other road users the life bar gets reduced. There are two difficulty levels. The speed is controlled by the game so the player only has to drive left or right and controls the gun.</p>

<p>You are descending in the skimmer on the hostile planet to eliminate Harvester. But you may do this only in a skybike, which should be dropped down from the skimmer.</p>
<p>The gameplay is flown in third-person perspective, while you are controlling your vehicle (skimmer or skybike) always flying forward. Moving left or right allows you to avoid the obstacles such as trees, accelerating and decelerating changes the speed, and shooting keeps you alive. Harvester is a boss, which appears after certain number of enemies will be eliminated, and it should be destroyed. 
Upon defeating the harvester the game awards the player with money, and loops back to the moment of time, when player controlled the skimmer. Collision with any obstacle means game over.</p>
<p>Hi-score table allows you to see the most successful Skyrunners.</p>

<p><em>War Diary</em> is a real-time strategy game which uses the 16th century Korea as background. There two rival armies fight about the supremacy. The economic system is based on three resources - food, wood and metal - which are used to construct buildings or troops. These can also be purchased with money which can be earned by selling spare resources.</p>
<p>The center of the base is the city hall which sets the radius where the eleven other buildings can be build. Important for the fighting aspect of the game are the barracks where soldiers are trained and the weapon factory where the soldiers are equipped. This means every soldier has to be sent to the weapon factory when he is trained as one of the three available jobs: Shooter, melee fighter or artillery. </p>
<p>When equipping the soldiers there are different quality settings for the weapons which effects costs and effectivity. Weapons degrade and have to be replaced regularly. Troops can be distributed into different groups but the health and weapon durability has to checked for every soldier separately.
Other units are watch towers, ships and monks. Monks are used to support the regular troops or to invoke ghosts. Troops and watch towers gain combat experience when fighting the enemy and as a result improve their abilities.</p>

<p><em>Super Kof</em> is a side-scrolling platform game that puts the player in control of a super monkey on an adventure.</p>
<p>The player has to complete each level while collecting various weapons/power-ups (such as the ability to spit green balls) and bags of money and avoiding different hostile animals, monsters, pitfalls and other obstacles.</p>

<p>This third installment in the series inherits all the style of two previous games enhancing them with VGA graphics, voice-overs, more player stats, and longer league play. As previous games, it deals with both coaching and playing efforts with AI reacting reasonably to player's tactics. The league play offers longer play value, and the game can be integrated with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Hockey+League+Simulator+2">Hockey League Simulator 2</a>, a simulation package for statistical-oriented minds.</p>
<p>The gameplay may be adjusted for 3/4 or top-down view of the rink as well as for automatic/manual play/coach, showing/hiding animation sequences, controllers selection, etc.</p>

<p>Based off the Disney movie <em>TRON</em>, this game attempts to recreate the light cycle game. Two colors face off in the attempt to box in and ultimately crash the other opponent using "Light Trails" that spring up behind each machine. A store randomly appears in which you can buy upgrades to your light trail and various devices to hinder your opponent. You can play against another player or the computer.</p>

<p>In <em>Splitterwelten</em> a whole solar system was bombed. Now the splinters of the five planets are floating through the space and are inhabited by rival clans who have no other goal than to claim the whole splinter for themselves. The player controls one of these clans.</p>
<p>Both the player and the computer have several characters to their disposal. The goal is to shove all enemies from the splinter. But of course they fight back. So the strategy of choice is to nudge an enemy with two people. He can't fight back to both and gets pushed to one side. Besides the standard fighters there are strong and fast characters. The strong ones can push two enemies at the same time. </p>
<p>Hillsides bring another tactical component on the table: A downwards pushing character has an advantage to his enemy. With time the edges of the splinter brake away. There are 50 levels to solve. In the multiplayer mode are another 50 levels played with a second player. When beating both modes a level editor is unlocked.</p>

<p>This strategical board game is flown between two players and it deals with tiles of two colors. In turns players place tile of their color on the 10x10 board, and if single tile of opposite color is between tiles of player's color, such tile changes it color and becomes player's tile. The goal of the game is to collect the number of your tiles greater than opponent's number until all board will be filled.</p>
<p>The game may be played versus computer or another player, but additional modes are available for different platforms:</p>
<ul>
<li>Demo Mode in C64 version, when computer plays against computer.</li>
<li>Expert Mode in DOS version, when board is already half-filled.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Offensiv - Der Fußballmanager</em> is a managerial soccer simulation. It offers all typical aspects of its genre: Buying and selling of players, setting the training values, merchandise, extension or new build of the stadium, statistics and newspaper reports. The main menu is a photo of a viewer's terrace where the under menus are reached by clicking on the right spots. The matches are completely shown in an isometric view and the player can give tactical orders during them.</p>
<p>The special gimmick of the game is that it is only possible to coach one team of the German soccer league Bundesliga. The game is sold in different versions for each club. The only difference between the games are the licensed clubs, background graphics and some digitalized photos. The available clubs are <em>FC Bayern München</em>, <em>FC Schalke 04</em>, <em>Hamburger Sportverein</em>, <em>BV Borussia Dortmund</em>, <em>Fortuna Düsseldorf</em>, <em>Arminia Bielefeld</em>, <em>1. SC Göttingen 05</em> and <em>Borussia Mönchengladbach</em>.</p>

<p><em>Fireteam 2200</em> is a tactical wargame set in the 23rd century. You take the role of the leader of a taskforce (or "Fireteam") tasked with undergoing a series of missions. </p>
<p>As with most war games you get to assemble your crew and select your scenario, while the action itself takes place in a top-down map from which you view your deployed units and issue orders such as movement commands, weapon assignations and, of course, who to fire at. You can build a squadron of up to 16 units starting with a base budget that allows you to choose from 30 different combat units and 25 different weapon types.</p>
<p>Features modem head-to-head multiplayer gameplay for up to two players across platforms (meaning an Amiga player can show a DOS player how it's done).</p>

<p><em>Hangman</em> is a word-guessing game based on the original paper and pencil version played by at least two players.</p>
<p>The game shows you a series of blank spaces. You have a certain number of guesses; every time you guess wrong, a drawing of a hanged man will keep being drawn until a certain amount of mistakes are made. Once you lose, the drawing will be finished and the hanged man will literally be a hangman.</p>
<p>This version of the game comes with two different word lists (Basic and Advanced) and also allows you to create up to six different word lists with whatever words you choose. It will also show you a hint if you press the F1 key, or outright show you the word if you press F2 (but that's cheating, so please don't do it.)</p>

<p><em>UEFA Champions League 1996/97</em> is a soccer simulation licensed by European soccer association <em>UEFA</em>. It features the 16 teams of the 1996/1997 soccer championship <em>Champions League</em> and additionally 32 other teams which can be played in other fictional championship modes, e.g. a league. Thanks to the license it features the real player names, digitalized photos and the original stadiums.</p>
<p>The matches itself are mostly action oriented. The player can perform several tricks and the standard soccer actions like shooting and passing. The game features several camera angles.</p>

<p><em>Sean Dundee's World Club Football</em> is a soccer simulation which features several championship modes and exhibition matches. The player can choose between 356 teams, which include all from European's major leagues. The rest are selected ones from the other continents.</p>
<p>The game itself is played like other soccer simulations: The player uses standard soccer maneuvers and special tricks to gain the upper hand against his opponents. Before the matches there are several options to change the lineup and the tactical orders. Specialities are three camera angles, matches in halls and the editor which is not restricted to team and player data but offers the possibility to create own championships. The official website offered regular updates for the team data to reflect current player transfers.</p>

<p>It is half a year after the happenings in <a href="/search/?q=Bedlam">Bedlam</a> where Major Kern defeated evil biomechs. Now they are back under the name Biomex and have important facilities under their control. Of course this has the consequence that the player uses Major Kern's combat robot to kill them all.</p>
<p><em>Bedlam 2: Absolute Bedlam</em> is an isometric shooter where the player basically explores big levels and shoots everything on his way. The controls are not too complicated: left mouse click to move and right click to fire. When enemies are killed they leave extras behind like ammo, shield energy or money. The money is used to buy upgrades for the combat robot between the 30 missions. </p>
<p>The missions have varied tasks, e.g. conquering an enemy base, recovering a new engine or rescuing prisoners. Secondary missions are not mandatory to complete the mission but give useful rewards. Later in the game the player controls up to three robots. The missions are divided in four campaigns which increase in difficulty but can be freely chosen.</p>

<p><em>Riot</em> is a futuristic sports game. The court is a hall similar to a basketball field but the basket is in the middle. The goal is to throw a charged energy ball into the basket. It is charged in energy fields that are placed in the opponent's half. There are three areas which give a different amount of points. The team which has the most points when the game is over wins. </p>
<p>Every team consists of six players which have different scores in condition, speed, power and accuracy. Occasionally appearing power ups give a boost to one ability. There are no rules against attacking the opponent's players. 23 camera angles, including top down and directly behind the used player, can be used during the game.</p>
<p>There are three playing modes: Exhibition matches are a single game between two of the 16 teams. In the second mode, there is a playoff tournament where several player-controlled teams can participate. Only one team can be controlled in the league mode.</p>

<p><em>Panthers in the Shadows</em> is a tactical and hex field based war simulation. In five WWII scenarios, e.g. the invasion of Normandy. the player controls either the Axis Powers or the Allies. Aside from the scenarios there are the game modes "Attack", "Defend" or "Encounter" where the attacker has to move to the opposite end of the map and the defender has to prevent this. In the encounter mode both opponents are gaining ground. </p>
<p>Most of the game is played on the hex field map where movement and attacking orders are filed. Other windows include statistics and detailed settings. There are two phases: In the first one the player give his orders and in the second one the orders are carried out. The execution phase also is divided in several phases: Airstrike, arty, surprise fire, defensive fire, and movement. For the results of the orders the game uses several complex calculations, e.g. every shot from a machine gun salvo is calculated separately. The sighting also uses this calculations and take the vegetation, lighting or smoke into account. It is even possible to see some units in a hex field but not all.</p>
<p>Another important feature are order delays. Orders travel from TF headquarters to the battalion HQ and then to the individual unit. Other things the player has to consider are tactical possibilities like carpet bombing or amphibious assaults and the morale which affect every other action. If the morale of a unit is too low they surrender or go berserk. There are absolutely no animations in the game, all fighting results are shown in text messages</p>

<p>In 2045 terrorists conquer a island in the Pacific Ocean and declare it an independent state. Because the whole world is afraid of these terrorists they send a mercenary group named Panic Soldiers on the island to drive them away. The game is a real-time strategy game which emphasizes on the combat aspect without base building.</p>
<p>Before every mission the player chooses which combat robots and pilots he wants to use. They are distinguished in three attributes: defend power, attack power and accuracy. With every solved mission the used pilots get experience points and as a result increase their attributes. The robots don't earn experience but can be upgraded or replaced with money which is earned by completing objectives. These are mostly to kill all enemy soldiers and destroy their buildings but sometimes the player has to rescue soldiers. </p>
<p>The game uses standard real-time strategy controls: With the left mouse button the player gives his units move or attack orders.</p>

<p><em>F1 Manager Professional</em> is the successor of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/15510/f1-manager/">F1 Manager</a>, keeps its main structure and offers subtle changes in the game mechanics. It is still a managerial game which simulates a racing team in the Formula One.</p>
<p>One part of the team success lies in the financial side. Money is gained by getting companies to sponsor the team and by getting good results in the races. The budget limits the quality of the driver and the other employees. Besides the driver the most important part of the athletic success comes from the used car. Like in the real world it needs to be constantly evolved and tuned. If the player doesn't want to do this part himself he can hire engineers which take this job on. This part of the game is played in several menus in a 1st person view which are reached by a main menu.</p>
<p>The actual race is shown in real time and 3D and can be watched with several camera angles. There the player can see if his preparations and pit stop strategies were useful. The preparations are optimisations referring to the course and the expected weather, e.g. using the right tires or fuel. Pit stop strategies can be changed during the race. </p>
<p>During the multiplayer mode the time which every player has to his disposal can be chosen freely. The game has no official licenses so all names are alienated but can be changed with the editor. Registered owners of the predecessor can buy an upgrade version for less money.</p>

<p><em>Hong Pong</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Pong+variant">Pong variant</a> set in five different war zones (including one hidden) and with tanks instead of paddles. Played with two tanks, one on each side of the screen, players need to prevent a spinning nuke from touching their side of the screen, while shooting missiles at the opponent or forcing the nuke to hit his side. In the middle of the screen different kinds of vehicles pass and these hurt the player when touched. It is also possible to activate a shield to block the incoming missiles, but while it is up firing is disabled.</p>
<p>The game can be played by two players simultaneously on a single screen with a single keyboard. There are four vehicles to choose from, three difficulty levels, a practice mode, and an rendered opening and ending cutscene sequence.</p>

<p>In <em>The Worlds of Billy</em> a boy named Billy has to cross 100 arcade levels to get back home. But of course there are bad guys who wants him dead and in this case the culprits are fruits. To get rid of them Billy has to dig holes in the ground and whack them with his hammer when they fall in - similar to <a href="/search/?q=Lode+Runner">Lode Runner</a>. </p>
<p>In the levels are several goodies to find, e.g. tennis balls which can be thrown at the enemies or bombs which decreases time needed to dig a hole. There are five worlds with different themes like a building site, caves or Egyptian ruins. The player has to beat a whole world before he can save the game.</p>

<p><em>Katharsis</em> is a game with classic side-scrolling shooter gameplay. It has 3D backgrounds, colorful graphics and an integrated storyline. The game starts in 2616, when the ship leaves Earth with 1000 settlers on board. Eighteen months later Earth loses contact with the ship. The action moves to the year 4720. One of Earth's cities is attacked by an unknown spacecraft. The player is one of the few survivors of the massacre.</p>
<p>The game consists of ten space levels and ten underwater levels where the player needs to protect a special bomb designed to destroy the enemy base. The player uses a whole arsenal of different weapons, can move in all directions and use afterburner. The fights with end-level bosses take place in full 3D environments.</p>

<p>7-year-old Tom and his mother are visiting the old castle in Scotland, while evil sorcerer kidnapped the mother. Tom was very upset, but the brave ghost Sir Reginald Arrow appears to help Tom. Evil sorcerer kidnapped his beloved 500 years ago to sacrifice her for Lucifer. Tom's mother may become the last victim in the sequence of dark ritual, and Sir Arrow has only 24 hours to stop the ritual and free Tom's mother. </p>
<p>In the game you are controlling Sir Arrow. He may walk; jump; duck; use weapon; collect, combine and use items. Tom is near, but he should be kept in good mood. He may help you to beat monsters, but his energy is exhausting and he should be fed with Hamburgers and Milkshakes. When he is upset, you should give him a Teddy Bear. All such items as well as many others required to progress in the game such as different weapons, magic harp, or lighter, etc. are scattered within the castle. The huge doors either keep bonus items increasing your score, or monsters, or clues to solve the riddles. Tom may walk on his own, and you should blow in whistle to call him back and do not loose him. </p>
<p>Many enemies are trying to get your life energy out, so kill or avoid them. Do not loose Tom, keep an eye on his stats, and do not allow to scare him to death. Just find his mother, and revenge for all the victims.</p>

<p>In <em>Metalizer</em> the player takes the role of Val Gordon whose goal is to defend his home planet Tress from an invasion. For that reason he travels through the country Djelassia to put together a team with four metalizers, combat robots similar to BattleMechs. The story is told in Full Motion Video with a length of one hour.</p>
<p>Basically <em>Metalizer</em> is a real-time strategy game without base building which focuses on the combat. But the player can pause the game at any time to give orders. Accuracy and amount of damage are based on the stats of the pilot and the equipment of the robot. Combat experience results in higher capabilities of the pilots.</p>
<p>Besides the main character the player can choose his companions - there are 50 with different abilities to choose from. Of course the player has to pay them with the money he earns during the missions or in arena fights. Besides new pilots this money can be spent on upgrades for the 20 metalizer models.</p>

<p>In this game the player is the captain of the "Final Impact" squadron. As the Xarras, an alliance of hostile aliens, conquer the Core sector he accompanies the mothership and perfroms 11 important missions to defeat the Xarras.</p>
<p>At the start of a mission the player has to choose one of three spaceships, the weaponry and ammo. Of course the equipment costs money which is sparse and has to be earned by solving missions. Also there is a weight restriction. The missions itself are old-school vertical shooter action: Everything that moves has to be destroyed. The weapons can be switched during battle and with the right ones the player can shoot in up to eight directions.
Besides the enemy waves there are other obstacles which influence the flight properties of the space ship, e.g. magnetic disturbances.</p>

<p><em>Les Schtroumpfs: Le Téléportaschtroumpf</em> is a 2D platform game based on the comic by Belgian cartoonist <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/293763/pierre-culliford/">Pierre Culliford (Peyo)</a>. </p>
<p>The game features two game modes. The first is a typical side-scrolling platform game in which you control a Smurf and have to save Smurfette from the evil clutches of Gargamel. Papa Smurf has found a spell for teleportation, but requires the smurf to find all the required magic ingredients that are scattered across the Smurfen lands. During the player's quest for the ingredients he can expect help from Papa Smurf.</p>
<p>The second game mode has mini-games for up to four players. The first player to win 10 games wins. Each game requires action and reflexes to win.</p>
<p>The game features multiple difficulty levels.</p>

<p><em>Scenario</em> is a turn-based strategy game set during World War I. The player's goal is to conquer the entirety of Europe. The game takes place on a map of Europe divided into a number of provinces. There are 4 players, each of which can be human or computer-controlled, and each player starts with 1 province and a small army in it. The rest of the provinces are independent countries, just waiting to be conquered...</p>
<p>Armies consist of tanks, airplanes and ships. Each turn, the player can freely move their forces between their provinces or attack neighbouring provinces (though each tank, plane and ship can be moved only once per turn.) A ship automatically takes a number of tanks and airplanes when it is moved. When the player attacks a province, whether a neutral one or controlled by another player, the progress of the battle is shown. Of course, if the attacker emerges victorious by destroying the opposing army, they take over the country. If there's no army in that country, it can be taken over without combat at all. </p>
<p>Producing new armies costs money, acquired from taxes paid by the empire's citizens. It is also possible to get cash by mining for raw materials (coal, iron or copper); their prices change each turn, but they usually yield a lot of profits - but raw materials eventually run out, and trying to mine a depleted resource is a waste of money (though the player can pay a 250.000 fee to make an analysis and see how much resources there is left in a province). Another way to earn money is to send ships to overseas colonies to get money from them. </p>
<p>Producing armies requires first building factories; each factory produces a specific type of military units, and has a limit as to how many units it can make per turn. Fortifications can also be built in a province to make a defending army a bit stronger during enemy attacks. It is also possible to acquire an enemy province by providing the local revolutionaries with a hefty sum of money, allowing them to take over the province and make it a part of the player's empire. </p>
<p>Each turn, a random event can happen, such as worker strikes (cannot dig for raw materials) or discovery of a gold mine (cash bonus). The player is sometimes given an opportunity to destroy a factory in an enemy province; to do this, a short arcade sequence must be completed, which involves quickly aiming and shooting five guards in the head before the time, or ammunition, runs out.</p>

<p>The laws of nature have been broken in the town of Reality-on-the-Norm: a dead person has been brought back to life as a zombie. You are Death, the Grim Reaper, who is ordered to come to Reality and return the zombie to being dead. </p>

<p><em>Vision: The 5th Dimension Utopia</em> is an advertising game for the German building society LBS, which sold it rather cheaply in its branches. The setting is an arcology floating on the sea. You are a new citizen in this city and you've got to work in order to make money for food and the rent of your suite while staying healthy through sleeping and eating enough. The common way to earn money is playing mostly action-oriented mini-games or doing smaller quests (or rather tasks), which also are part of the plot of the game.</p>

<p>A freeware 3D version of <a href="/game/dos/bomberman">Bomberman</a>. You play as one of the "Bombermen" (cute spacesuit wearing anime characters) and your goal is to blow up the other Bomberman before he gets you. You run around a 3D maze laying time delayed bombs as you go. Each time you kill your opponent you score a point and visa versa and the first player to reach 5 points wins the match. Many of the walls are destructible and some hide special power ups. The game is controlled by keyboard and can be played either in single player against the computer AI or multi player over modem or serial cable.</p>

<p>This is a 3D Rubik's Cube game controlled by either mouse or keyboard. The goal of the game is the same as it is for the real thing. Realign the cube back to its original position with each face a solid colour. You can rotate the cube around the x,y,z axis and rotating the faces is accomplished by the number keys 1-6.</p>

<p><em>4 Queens Computer Casino</em> is a virtual casino offering 12 different classic casino games from Video Blackjack to Craps and Slot Machines. The game supports from 1 to 4 human players.</p>
<p>After entering your name(s) and deciding what your starting bankroll will be you then get to choose between any of the 12 games. You can play each game as many times as you wish and freely switch from one game to another.</p>

<p><em>7 dni a 7 noci</em> ("7 Days and 7 Nights") is an erotic Czech adventure. You walk around town talking to people, picking up objects, and solving puzzles. The game is inspired and very similar to Sierra classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Leisure+Suit+Larry">Leisure Suit Larry</a>.</p>
<p>The story revolves around Venca Záhyb (Wenzel Ziegler in German, and Waszek Fałda in Polish) who one day receives a special job order from well-known millionaire Jonathan Smiht (parody for surname Smith). His orders: to protect his seven daughters from potential suitors. However, after a night spent in a pub with one Fanda Kořen who bets him one "lubr" that he can not claim all seven for himself, Venca's duties take on a whole new meaning.</p>
<p>He has one day with each daughter in which to win her heart. However, each woman will pose a unique challenge for Venca to overcome.</p>

<p>A collection of sliding picture puzzles. You can chose from 3x3 or 4x4 grid sizes and select from several pictures, you unlock more as you go. You are scored based on how many moves it takes to complete a puzzle starting with 999 for the 4x4 and 499 for the 3x3 puzzles and counting down.</p>

<p>A sliding puzzle game similar to classic picture puzzle games however instead of completing an image you slide numbered blocks 1 through 16 into order. The game starts with the numbers in a scrambled order, just like in the picture puzzle. There is always one empty square into which you can slide one of the surrounding 4 blocks. The object of the game is to slide all the blocks back into their original numerical order. The problem is that since you have only one empty square to work with when arranging the blocks you inevitably place the puzzle further out of order in your attempts to solve the puzzle.</p>

<p>This is an early adaptation of the popular TV game show <em>The $100,000 Pyramid</em>.</p>
<p>The objective is to reach the top of the pyramid by winning successive rounds. Each round consists of selecting a category from the pyramid. Each category consists of a list of words that share some common thread like "things that are red". One player then tries to give the other player clues to guess the word without saying the word itself.</p>
<p>There is also a single player mode that does not resemble the show very much where you have to type in single word clues.</p>

<p>This rather lighthearted text adventure game features you as a Harvard University student living in Dudley House. Your goal is not very evident through most of the game, but, like all text adventures, you must solve a series of puzzles and navigate your way through mazes using nothing but your intellect and objects you find along the way. Befitting the games academic setting, there is a scene in here taken from a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/387548/t-s-eliot/">T. S. Eliot</a> novel.</p>

<p>In <em>Yuppi's Revenge</em> the player is assuming the position of a Harvard graduate, suddenly faced with typical managerial problems concerning the leadership of a multinational oil company. The goal is to earn as many monetary rewards and decorations as possible. Drilling for oil, dealing with oil tankers, or trading shares are just a few of the available chances. However, status in society also plays a significant role.</p>
<p>Up to four players can compete with each other. Even certain unfair practices can be conducted in order to prevail over the opponents.</p>

<p>A double pack consisting of the two games <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Theme+Park">Theme Park</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Strike+Commander+(CD-ROM+Edition)">Strike Commander (CD-ROM Edition)</a>, both published by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Electronic+Arts">Electronic Arts</a>.</p>

<p>This is a curious game that plays like a multi player version of the well known game <a href="/search/?q=Snake+games">Snake</a>, which looks and plays very similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/50676/cervii/">Červii</a>. Like in Snake, you control a "snake" that continuously grows, the object being to stay alive for as long as possible. However unlike Snake, this is by default a multi player game, the object here is to stay in contention the longest. Running into yourself, another players snake, or going out of bounds ends your turn. Players are given points based on how long they last.</p>

<p>Select from five character classes (Paladin, Necromancer, Barbarian, Zen-Druid, Shadowy Tracker) and explore the three levels of the dungeon Ebon Titan. If you make it to the end you face off against the boss Titan himself. The game mixes elements from classic text based adventure gaming like inventory based puzzle solving with more action oriented dungeon crawl style hack and slash game play. The game also employs a simple top-down ASCII based graphical map of your surroundings in addition to the usual textual description and utilizes the PC speaker for battle sounds and the like.</p>

<p>The Davis Cup is tennis' equivalent of soccer's World Cup - a competition between teams of men in their sport representing their countries.  16 countries qualify for the tournament and you can choose from among 48 players - all with different attributes and skills.  Locations for the matches vary from each of the 16 countries including the U.S., Sweden and Italy.  The courts also vary between grass, clay, concrete and wood and the ball will react differently on each.  </p>
<p>You can take to the practice court first to perfect your serves, lobs, smashes and volleys.  Then you can have a quick singles match against a random opponent, have a doubles match with a friend or even play a 4-player game using multitap.  There's also the option of playing a "winner moves on" series of games, play in a league, or join the Davis Cup tournament.</p>

<p><em>Indenture</em> is a variant of the Atari 2600 game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11162/adventure/">Adventure</a>. Your goal is to return the golden chalice to the yellow castle. In your way are locked castle gates, a bat, and several dragons who would like nothing better than to eat you alive. Just like in <em>Adventure</em> you start out at the yellow castle gates and you must navigate your way around the game's maze like map in search of the chalice. The player character is represented by a yellow dot.</p>
<p>Gameplay and visual style in the game are rather simple. You control your character via the arrow keys and pick up objects like keys, bridges, and the sword by walking over them. However you can only carry one object at a time. The author has added two more game variations to the older game's three. Game 4 has 300 rooms, if you can discover the secret to unlocking them.</p>

<p>Presented by the name of snooker's World Champion <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/384154/alex-higgins/">Alex Higgins</a>, the game is a snooker simulator with top-down view of the table. In the beginning of the game, the player places the cue ball in fixed position on the table. To give it a direction, the cue ball's image is placed in the desired destination's position. Adjusting the force and spin, the player gives a movement to the cue ball. The coloured and/or numbered balls should be put in pockets in a predefined order according to the rules of snooker. The one with the most points at the end of a game wins.</p>
<p>The packs of red balls come in variations of six, ten or fifteen. There are two game modes: practice for one player and match for two players. The game is available in English, French, and German languages.</p>

<p>In this simulation the player takes on the role of an air traffic controller and safely guides the airplanes to their destinations! This is an ASCII text-based game much like <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/atari-st/air-traffic-controller">the later Atari ST game of the same name</a>. Each plane on the screen is represented by a letter and arrow. A list off to the side lists all planes in the airspace, their location, destination, fuel, course, and altitude. The player must guide some planes to land at specific airports; other planes must be guided to specific exit points on the airspace boundaries.</p>

<p><em>Air Trax</em> is an air traffic control tower simulation game very very similar to <a href="/search/?q=Air+Traffic+Controller">Air Traffic Controller</a>. This is an ASCII text based air traffic control simulation where planes need to be guided to land safely before they run out of fuel or crash. However this game seriously complicates things with the inclusion of three different types of aircraft: jets, small craft, and super sonic jets. Players can also earn a salary.</p>

<p><em>USA Soccer '94</em> is a soccer game based on the World Championship event held in the USA in 1994. It includes full of information on stadiums, schedules, teams, and real soccer players. The game contains single matches as well as a complete championship.</p>
<p>The gameplay is shown in 3/4 view, not completely top-down, similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2790/kick-off-2/">Kick Off 2</a>. There are several adjustments to define before gameplay begins, such as controllers, human/computer opponents, and on/off options for penalties and faults as well as time duration, etc.</p>
<p>The soccer game can also be played by up to two players simultaneously, but the computer can also take control of both teams to watch how it plays out. The game is only available in the Spanish language.</p>

<p>This game is basically an IQ test to train the brain, comprised of a series of questions drawn from five different categories (Odd one out, Shapes, Building Blocks, Dominoes, and Number Sequences). There are only fifteen minutes to complete the test or players can choose to practise one of the five groups or learn about the different types.* Which is the odd one out: these questions present five similar objects, four of which follow some organizational scheme the 5th being the odd one. Can you see which one doesn't belong</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Shapes: four shapes are shown that are arranged in some type of sequence and the player is asked to complete the sequence by choosing from four options.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Building Blocks: this exercise shows a 3D grid of stacked blocks, many of which are hidden. Players need to guess how many blocks the shape comprises.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Dominoes: similar to <em>Shapes</em>, only here dominoes are shown and the sequence needs to be completed.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Number Sequences: a number sequence needs to be completed.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p>The game represents Ski-Doo, a 6-month length trek set in the snowy woods of North Eastern Canada. Riding  snow scooters, participants try to survive in this white desert, hunting for the wild animals and finding warm places following the routes to the cities. Visiting 25 cities along the way, 10 contestants take part in a wild race on ice-circuit to win money. You are one  such participant, and you should survive and come to the finish of the overall trek in the first place.</p>
<p>This single-player game is shown in a 3rd-person view, while you are controlling your driver, riding a snow scooter, to accelerate/decelerate and turn left/right. As time goes, night will fall after the day and so on. At the same time  food and heat levels will decrease, so you should always  need to raise them up. The view will be switched to 1-st person, while you are hunting for animals to increase food level.</p>

<p><em>Shawl</em> is a logical arcade game dealing with card suits. Circles of different colors, radii, and card suits appear in the rectangular frame, where the quasi-stick is flying in diagonal directions, ricocheting from the frame borders. The goal is to collect only unique suits to compose a four-suit set. Collecting a suit that already exists in the set composed so far will eliminate all other suits collected in the series up until this suit. Too many such missteps will lead to game over.</p>

<p>Along with <a href="/search/?q=Aftershock+Deathmatch+300">Aftershock Deathmatch 300</a>, <em>Aftershock Toolbox</em> is one of the two derivatives of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3759/aftershock-for-quake/">Aftershock for Quake</a>, an unofficial add-on pack which was also published by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/83/head-games-publishing-inc/">Head Games</a>. Whereas the original's premise is a more traditional package of linked levels consisting of three episodes, this 'toolbox' is more-or-less a collection of various <a href="/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a> modifications which could also be found on related BBS archives.</p>
<p>While a basic front-end helps the user to copy over the various QuakeC patches on offering (grouped as Monsters, Weapons and Misc.), there are also undocumented tools under respective folders on the disk. These include early level editors such as Worldcraft and Thred, a bunch of player and monster skins, third-party tools for multiplayer and 54 unconnected maps both for multi and solo play. Even though twenty of these maps were collected from the internet, along with the new ones, they are given all-new textures, to avoid copyright issues with id Software.</p>
<p>As a final note, unlike most of the shovelware discs, <em>Aftershock Toolbox</em> includes the accompanying documents of the add-ons that are taken from the internet and gives the original authors due credit.</p>

<p>As the developer suggests, <em>Deathmatch Maker</em> is "the first <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a> level editor authorized by id Software". What made it special among the editors of the time was its drag-and-drop interface. Unlike the standard approach of building rooms step-by-step, out of scratch, <em>DMM</em> offers the would-be mapper a collection of basic templates and 3D shapes. Once the basis is formed, texturing, entity placing and lighting is also done through a simple, user-friendly interface. A real-time 3D window lets the user to explore his creation without compiling the in-progress map and launching the game. </p>
<p>The package also contains a dozen of third-party editing utilities, as well as the <em>Virtus' Episode</em>, a brand new set of connected levels spanning over two episodes and featuring a different boss.</p>

<p>After the highly popular first two games of the series (<a href="/search/?q=NHL+Hockey">NHL Hockey</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11455/nhlpa-hockey-93/">NHLPA Hockey '93</a>), EA acquired both NHL and NHLPA licenses, and along the award-winning console versions of <a href="/search/?q=NHL+94">NHL '94</a> developed a more complex game for personal computers.</p>
<p>While overall the game shares the same graphical style as the console versions, they are much detailed here, with jersey logos and even smaller details such as pixels decorating the Quebéc Nordiques jersey where their three Fleur de Lys should be decorating the players, and a much more colourful ring all around. Gameplay follows the same action-packed philosophy of the console games (including the new one-timer move), although at a slightly slower pace. Sound, however, is much improved, with clearer effects and digitized rink announcer and organ pieces. The game also features a brand new point and click interface, taking advantage of computer mice, making line changes much faster than console-style controls would allow.</p>
<p>As for game modes, the player can play exhibition games, seasons or play-off series with any of the 24 teams of the 1993 NHL season (Campbell and Wales All-Star teams are also available for exhibition games), all featuring real players with individualized stats in key playing abilities.</p>

<p>The Player's Choice Edition of Burnout Championship Drag Racing was basically an add-on and an enhancement to the original Burnout. It contained an additional in-car view, more tracks and cars, additional engine components and other enhanced features.</p>

<p><em>HacX</em> is a commercial add-on for <a href="/search/?q=DOOM+II:+Hell+on+Earth">Doom II</a>. While it mostly retains the original gameplay formula, the plot of <em>HacX</em> is completely unrelated to the <a href="/search/?q=Doom:+Evil+Unleashed">Doom</a> franchise.</p>
<p>The protagonist of <em>HacX</em> is a high-profile hacker called Danny Evanger. The background story tells how he had hacked into the classified database of Genemp Corporation, a company involved in biotechnology development. The database, called GENIE, was able to block the hacking attempt, resulting in Danny Evanger's arrest and lifetime imprisonment. Without hope of ever returning to hacking, Danny takes up intensive weight training to survive the harsh prison environment. However, one day he is contacted by a government agent. A nationwide chaos has erupted, and the government suspects that an international consortium of high-tech conglomerates might be behind this. Danny's skills as the best hacker in the field are required to verify this, and his augmented physical strength should also help get the job done.</p>
<p>The player's objective is thus to infiltrate the corporate databases and acquire evidence of their involvement in the crisis. The gameplay is mostly the same as in <em>Doom</em> - you run through levels, kill monsters and search for a keycard from time to time. The levels are however more detailed and realistic, similar to <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/duke-nukem-3d">Duke Nukem 3D</a>. Some modifications were also made to the <em>Doom II</em> engine to allow for extensions such as destructible objects.</p>
<p>A distinctive feature of <em>HacX</em> are the "cyberspace" levels. According to the plot, Danny received from the government an implanted device called Genemp Microtel, which allows to physically travel through cyberspace. This facilitates transitions between different locations and even countries. Cyberspace levels have unique elements such as invisible floors with different elevations, and extra enemies that do not appear elsewhere in the game.</p>
<p><em>HacX</em> has its own set of textures, sprites, sound effects and music, and does not use any of the original <em>Doom II</em> content. Weapons and powerups have different names and appearance, but most of them remain the same or only slightly modified compared to <em>Doom</em> games. Many monsters however underwent significant changes in behaviour and strength, and are very different from their <em>Doom</em> counterparts.</p>

<p><em>BrainBreaker</em> is a small puzzle game where the player must turn the playfield completely dark.</p>
<p>A playfield consists of 3x3, 4x4 or even 5x5 cells. Per move, the player changes the color of an entire area (e.g. 1x3 or 2x2 at the 3x3 playfield), making light cells dark, but also dark cells light again.</p>
<p>The game completes when all cells are turned dark. There is no way to lose, but the game counts the amount of moves until completion of a puzzle.</p>
<p>Finally, there is a help button, which will highlight a possible move to solve the puzzle, which can be used as often as the player needs it.</p>

<p>Street Ball is an Arcade/Puzzle game where your goal is to guide a bouncing ball through a maze collecting treasures and avoiding obstacles.  Your ball moves back and forth on wires until you release it, at which point it bounces around the maze until it hits another wire.  It has a limited number of "hit points" so you must time your releases to steer the ball over treasures while avoiding laser cannons and evil black "zombie" balls.  Once you have obtained the correct numbers and types of treasures, an exit opens which takes you to the next of the 20 mazes.</p>

<p>This game entry reflects the original public domain release of <em>Brix</em>. For the reworked version by Epic MegaGames, see <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=759848000290">here</a>.</p>
<p>In Brix, the player is presented with an array of pieces, which he can move horizontally, and when two or more of the same type touch, they disappear. The goal is to do that to every brick of the same geometrical shape painted on it, and fast, because time is running out quickly. When the player has an odd number of a particular piece, three of them must be removed by ensuring that they make simultaneous contact.</p>
<p>Unlike the "remake", this version has 112 levels, no difficulty settings and features a level editor.</p>

<p>All centers around Walther von Grünschild, a rich merchant and patron of the arts from Berlin, whose art collection was stolen. Now he sends his four nephews into the world to regain his paintings. The most successful of them becomes his heir. The game starts in 1918 and ends when von Grünschild dies. One round equals one day. The length of a round can be chosen between five seconds and infinite.</p>
<p>In auctions the missing pictures are sold from time to time. But to buy them the player obviously needs money. This is gained by opening up to 24 plantations in the Third World. There the player either grows coffee, cacao, tea or tobacco. After the harvesting the goods get shipped to warehouses in New York or London where the player sells it to interested companies. The player has to be on-site for every action which means an important part of the game is to plan ahead where he has to go during the next days. Another way to win money is gambling at horse races.</p>
<p>Besides his business the player can visit art schools to gain the ability to distinguish real paintings from fake ones. This is useful during the auctions because it is annoying to buy a forgery. Another way is to hire a middleman to attend anonymous to the auctions. This way the other players don't know he tries to buy a certain painting and it gets cheaper. Of course the middleman can't profit from the player's expertise and is more likely to buy a forgery. In Chicago the player can hire robbers to steal paintings from his competitors.</p>

<p>In a free literary adaptation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/369869/william-shakespeare/">Shakespeare's</a> <em>Hamlet</em>, this game offers the opportunity to explore the namesake castle from the play to collect as much treasure as possible and deposit it at the town hall of the nearby village.</p>
<p>As with the other Temple Software games, this is a simple text adventure, with most puzzles simply consisting of giving the right item to the right person. Two-word commands are entered to navigate through the world that contains lots of purely decorative rooms.</p>

<p>Another simple treasure crawl interactive fiction by Temple Software: Explore a fantasy realm where a hermit is rumoured to live, and find his fabulous treasure.</p>
<p>As with the other Temple Software games, this is a simple text adventure, with most puzzles simply consisting of giving the right item to the right person. You can enter simple commands to navigate through the world, and you can save your game.</p>

<p>A simple crawl where you have to explore a strange old, mostly abandoned and rumouredly haunted prison to find some presumably fabulous treasure.</p>
<p>As with the other Temple Software games, this is a simple text adventure, with most puzzles simply consisting of giving the right item to the right person. You can enter simple commands to navigate through the world, and you can save and restore the current game.</p>

<p>Enter the unbelievably sexy-sounding namesake place to have highly erotic adventures and to score. Points, I mean.</p>
<p>As with the other Temple Software games, this is a simple text adventure, with most puzzles simply consisting of giving the right item to the right person. You can enter simple commands, and you can save and restore the current game.</p>

<p>Relentless Logic (also called RLogic) can be considered a fore-runner of the mighty Windows application <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Minesweeper">Minesweeper</a>, with some differences.</p>
<p>For once, <em>Relentless Logic</em> actually has a bombastic patriotic background story: You play a private of the US marines who must get an important message over a mine field. The future of America is in your hands -- handle with care.</p>
<p>As in <em>Minesweeper</em>, the game is played on a rectangular grid. Several mines are hidden on the grid, and from the displayed number of mines in the neighboring fields, you need to guess where the mines actually are. Unlike the Windows game, however, the task here is not to clear the whole field, but to trace a path from the upper left to the lower right of the field. You also can not set markers to remember the position of identified mines, which makes the game somewhat harder.</p>
<p>The game is always played on a fixed field, but you can choose the number of hidden mines. Time is counted in seconds, not steps, and this is the base of your "Skill Rating" when successfully finishing the game.</p>
<p>When stepping on a mine, your character is blown to bits by a sequence of ASCII explosions and PC beeper bleeps, which adds some lovely cheesy gore.</p>

<p><em>Porntris</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> clone with an adult theme.</p>
<p>The player must re-arrange the falling blocks, by rotating and moving them, so that full lines are created, which will then vanish. Over the course of the game, the speed of the falling blocks will increase.</p>
<p>In Porntris, the player does not get points for removing rows, but with every line a bit of a "porn video" (more like an animated GIF, short, endless mode, max. 64 KB per "video") will appear on the right side. Once the video is fully revealed, the level completes.</p>

<p>The objective in <em>Elevators from Hell</em> is to collect all seven tokens (one on each floor) and then escape the building... alive!</p>
<p>The building consists of seven floors, each floor has two elevators (left and right), the elevator panel (center) and a token (between left elevator and the panel). The panel will call the nearest elevator, regardless of left or right.</p>
<p>Sounds easy? It would be if the player were alone in the building. Unfortunately, there is a Robo Guard patrolling the building. If the player comes too close to the Robo Guard, he will fire his red laser beam to kill the player.</p>

<p>PacWorm is an early Snake-like game for DOS.</p>
<p>You're playing a worm. At the beginning, you enter the game through the bottom border. Your objective is to eat 10 "foods" that appear randomly on the field. Each time you gobble a food, your worm gets longer; if you hit anything except the food (like walls or yourself), you use a life. If you've eaten 10 foods, a door opens and you can leave the level, coming to the next level with additional walls. There is also time limit of sorts: if you'll not eat next food in given time range, it will multiply and counter of "needed food" will go up.</p>

<p><em>Rocky's Boots</em> is a simple educational puzzle game where you can learn about logic circuits.</p>
<p>You control a nondescript square, moving it about several rooms. Each room contains basic electronic parts like AND, OR and NOT gates, flip-flops, delays and clocks. You can pick these up and combine them to build simple or complex circuits. </p>
<p>After a helpful tutorial, the task in the game is to build "kicking" machines: Objects of different colors move through an area and turn sensor outputs on and off. You now have to build a circuit that activates a kicking device which kicks the right objects out. When you do it just right, Rocky the raccoon dances a little jig to a joyful melody for you!</p>
<p>The game also features an editor where you can build you very own kicking puzzle.</p>

<p>In <em>Flagger</em> the player must reveal the location of mines by marking them. This is done by revealing cells which contain numbers indicating how many mines are directly adjacent (if no mines are adjacent at all, the cell is completely empty).</p>
<p>If a mine is clicked on, all mines are revealed and the game ends. If all mines are marked, the player wins the game.</p>
<p>Unlike the Windows game <a href="/search/?q=Minesweeper">Minesweeper</a>, Flagger does not calculate empty blocks, so any cell on the screen must be clicked on (left for revealing, right for setting a flag). Also, the game runs against the clock while playing, not just for highscore reason.</p>

<p><em>Vigilance on Talos V</em> is about Killian Jared, a man who became a mercenary to save his daughter Celeste from an evil race of aliens known as the Xenos. Having learned the location of their main base from an informant, he begins one-man assault to rescue his daughter.</p>
<p>The gameplay is a lot like Nintendo's <a href="/search/?q=Metroid+Universe">Metroid series</a>. The main goal of the game is to explore the base, blasting enemies with a variety of weapons, and finding special upgrades, such as energy tanks to increase your maximum health and the Saturn Ball, whereby Killian rolls into a ball to squeeze through tight spaces.</p>

<p>While the soccer tournament is often downplayed not only inside the Olympic movement but also by the soccer-following community, in 1996, by the occasion of the Games of the XXVI Olympiad in Atlanta, US Gold decided to release a game representing the tournament.</p>
<p>The player can choose one of the 33 teams, and participate in exhibition matches, arcade (a 32-team cup knockout), Olympic (the 16 team tournament mimicking the actual tournament), or play on an all-versus-all league (from 3 to 16 teams). The games feature the usual options found in contemporary games, such as match length and draw rules, as well as define several weather patterns from wind to the bumpiness of the grass. All 5 stadiums used in the actual Olympics are present.</p>

<p>This is the original release of Battlecruiser 3000AD. An updated version was released in 1998 as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2860/battlecruiser-3000ad-v20/">Battlecruiser 3000AD v2.0</a>.</p>
<p>In this space simulation game, the player takes the role of a Galactic Command officer and has command over a giant space ship, a Battlecruiser, and can control everything that happens on this ship. The year is 3000AD and Gammulan Empire is on its way to conquer the galaxy. This isn't seen lightly by the Galcom who sends out their best commander (the player) to stop the threatening empire.</p>
<p>The game is mostly played from the bridge, where the player has access to all the ship's functions. There is three modes in the game: Free Flight, Advanced Campaign Mode and Xtreme Carnage Combat Simulator. The Free Flight mode lets new player explore the world and learn the game without having to fear being attacked. The Advanced Campaign Mode is dynamic and features a number of alien civilizations that influences what happens in the world. The Xtreme Carnage Combat Simulator mode allows players to train their combat performance.</p>

<p><em>Redneck Rampage: Possum Bayou</em> is a "sampler" of the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/936/redneck-rampage/">Redneck Rampage</a> with less levels. It is more than a demo, but less than the full game with only 7 levels of Redneck mayhem. </p>
<p>Different types of weapons exist including crowbars, dynamite, shotguns, electric saw, bowling ball, and others.</p>

<p>A pair of inseparable friends - smart, short, yet brave Kajko and his buddy, big, bald, fat, strong &amp; gluttonous Kokosz - must face again the notorious Zbójcerze (<em>Rogueknights</em>) and their evil plot set to conquer the peaceful village of Mirmiłowo. The early medieval setting and fantasy themes resemble "Asterix &amp; Obelix".</p>
<p><em>Kajko i Kokosz</em> is a classic point &amp; click adventure game, based on a popular Polish comic book series featuring the same characters. You can switch between the two characters at will, and some actions have to be done with a specific character. The controls are pretty simple - to interact with the environment, you just have to click. You have a limited space in your inventory, but you can take an object from your inventory and drop it anywhere at any time. The game graphics feature original artwork created by the creator of the series, Janusz Christa, thus retaining the "look &amp; feel" of the comic books.</p>

<p><em>Safe Opening Simulator</em> is quite accurately described by its title: This program is a simulation that lets you open safes.</p>
<p>At first, you'll have to identify the safe, guessing the manufacturer, model and class of the safe and the lock. For each identification item, you have three attempts; after the third unsuccessful attempt, the program identifies it for you.</p>
<p>Once identified, your task is to open the safe. The program provides an on-line help that gives you some guidelines as to how safes work, what tools to use, and how to use them. To open the safe, you can choose between different methods; their success depends on the current safe, which may or may not be broken due to broken drive pins or stuck levers inside the lock etc.</p>
<p>The simplest method of opening a safe is dialing: This lets you turn the combination wheels while listening for the sounds inside the lock that give you hints about the wheels' positions and the correct combination. </p>
<p>In some situations, for example when the lock is broken, dialing fails; then you'll have to drill the lock, either to cut the fence of, or to have a look at the wheels. You'll have to take great care about the correct position and angle when drilling. </p>
<p>If all fails, you can resort to blow the safe open using explosives. The program then gives you hints about what was wrong with the safe, and how you could have opened it.</p>
<p>After you have opened a safe, the next safe is presented to you -- there is no story, and you get no points. <em>Safe Opening Simulator</em> is an unusual and, as far as I understand (I'm no expert ;-), quite realistic simulator with educational value for wannabe safe crackers...</p>

<p>You have been locked in a castle by Erlking of Errors, the Spelling Serpent.  You must move through all the rooms in the castle until you can find the Key of Gold and escape.  To move between rooms a word is flashed on the screen and begins to fade away.  You must correctly type the word to proceed to the next room.  Once you have built up enough strength (points) some rooms will have teleporters to move up to higher floors.  The gold key is hidden in one of three tower rooms at the very top of the castle.  Once the gold key has been found, you must find your way back to the first room in the castle where you can exit and finish the game.</p>
<p>A number of word lists are included of varying difficulty, and custom word lists can be created.</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2806/subwar-2050/">Subwar 2050</a> (base game)</li>

<p>This is an update to the original SimCity Graphics Sets 1 and 2, and only works with SimCity Classic. This adds six new alternate looks to the game: Ancient Asia, Medieval Times, Wild West, Future U.S.A., Future Europe and Moon Colony. Gameplay is unchanged by installation of the Graphics Set, but all in-game graphics and text are replaced. Buildings all look different, and the various events and disasters are reinterpreted and given a different flavor.</p>

<p><em>Five Star Collection</em> includes:</p>
<ul>
</ul>

<p>Scenario &amp; campaign editor for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Perfect-General-II">Perfect General II</a>. Player can set up all standard scenario parameters, like terrain conditions, placement of hills, roads, cities, victory hexes etc. on the map, allocate reinforcements and set game duration. Validation function checks if the new scenario is free of show-stopping errors.</p>
<p>The CD also contains 10 new missions (ranging from large scale battles to local conflicts).</p>

<p>One of the best Interpol agents, John Pollack, must solve the mystery of a series of thefts. Ancient artifacts have disappeared from all around the world, and rumor has it that Joachim Wardner, a former CIA employee, may be involved.</p>
<p><em>Tajemnica Statuetki</em> (Mystery of the Statuette) is a point-and-click adventure game composed entirely from photographic backgrounds, lacking any animation, thus requiring a lot of "pixel-hunting" by the player. The game features verbose descriptions of the items and characters, puzzles and dialogue options for conversations.</p>

<p>What can go wrong on a scout summer camp in a dull village? A lake and forest are nearby, as is an old army base, with an old rusty tank making up for a great playground... but now it's your job to rescue a fellow Girl Guide that got trapped inside the tank!</p>
<p>The wacky graphical style and silly jokes were obviously inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=day-of-the-tentacle">Day of the Tentacle</a>. The interface is simple and the default action (out of 6 basic commands) is usually highlighted. Just like with other point'n'click adventures from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1332/lk-avalon/">L.K. Avalon</a>, the map allows jumping between locations, saving us tedious walking.</p>

<p>In the year 2068, humanity managed to conquer the fourth dimension: time. Time travel becomes so widespread that a danger arises - someone may try not only to learn about the past, but also to alter history. Now it is the year 2098. The player takes on the role of special agent Dino Szmit and his job is to pursue such time-villains. The adventure begins as the player wakes up after a time travel accident...</p>
<p><em>Eksperyment Delfin</em> (Experiment Dolphin) is a point and click adventure that allows the player to travel in time to counter a Nazi conspiracy plot. The game takes the player back to the year 1942 and beyond. It's based on traditional inventory puzzles, enhanced by the ability to jump not only to another location to find a needed item, but also to a different time. The few conversations the player will have feature dialog options.</p>

<p>Although his harmless looks may fool you at first, Harold is a mercenary assassin - and this time he has been hired to get rid of Virus, who is terrorizing the world of Pixels. As these names may suggest, the action takes place in a fantasy-like interior of a computer, which happens to look - to our surprise - more like a run-down town than a cyberpunk "information highway".</p>
<p><em>Misja Harolda: Zaginiony w systemie</em> (Harold's mission: Lost in the system) is a point-and-click adventure game. It features conversations with dialogue options - wrong choices may even lead to your demise. Another thing that makes it "Sierra-like" is that it also keeps track of your score.</p>

<p>Wacek and Andzia, a pair of school friends, are told by an old Professor that a flying saucer crashed somewhere on Earth. Poor little alien didn't make it on a sharp interstellar turn... The player guides the two kids trying to find him and help him out.</p>
<p>The graphics and gameplay style of this kid-friendly adventure game are similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19196/sołtys/">Sołtys</a>, but this time the player controls two characters at once, as in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/42485/kajko-i-kokosz/">Kajko i Kokosz</a>. Conversations are automatic, and all lines are spoken. The children have only 4 inventory slots each and certain items should be picked up with the right person (e.g., the girl will refuse to touch dirty objects, the boy won't care about an alley cat). Progress is saved automatically on exit.</p>

<p><em>Dungeon Quest</em> is a top-down dungeon crawl role-playing game written in BASIC that is most similar to the <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/24627/warriors-of-ras/">Warriors of Ras</a></em> series of early computer RPGs.</p>
<p>As usual, you'll begin with creating your character, having a choice of seven standard classes. Re-rolling bad throws is not allowed here, but you may be able to transfer attribute points. You can create up to nine characters. Last thing to do before beginning your quest is a visit to the shop, to buy armor, weapons, light sources and other useful stuff.</p>
<p>Now you're ready to hit the dungeon levels. You can control a party of up to 9 characters. The full current level is shown in a top-down view, and you can start to do the usual timeless dungeon crawl routine: slay monsters, open doors, open treasure chests with or with out traps, everything with a somewhat eye-hurting red and green background, complete with simple graphics and a cumbersome user interface. Interesting, however, is the way of how the multi-character party is controlled: Focus is given to one character are controlled one after the other, with each having a few actions before control is passed to the next. This allows some hot seat multiplayer crawling.</p>
<p>As to the background story... What background story? This game is not concerned with these trifles.</p>

<p><em>Bones: The Game of the Haunted Mansion</em> is a member of the pseudo-roguelike <em>Wizard's Castle</em> family. It is one of the oldest games of this family, originating in 1981 on DEC mainframes. </p>
<p>The story is quite conservative: As in the other <em>Wizard's Castle</em> games, your task is to descend into a dungeon to find the all-powerful Globe of some mighty Warlock on the deepest level.</p>
<p>The gameplay is a hybrid of boardgame-like exploration and roguelike dungeon crawl, the whole presented as in "windowed" interactive fiction game, while the setting is a mix of fantasy, horror and sci-fi elements, playing in a haunted mansion filled with dust, bones, undead skeletons, RAM chips needed for auto-mapping, Uzis and Laser guns, etc. The only graphics is the BGI title screen; the rest of the game plays in text mode and reminds late DOS applications with windows.</p>
<p>There is only one kind of monster that you'll encounter: skeletons of all shapes and sizes: paper skeletons, flying skeletons, paranoid skeletons, closet skeletons, thief skeletons, and so on. You can fight them, but you can also try to talk to them, which may save hit points and also provide some information.</p>
<p>Items are strewn in the castle waiting to be found by you. As in an adventure, you need to examine the room to find them, getting a vague description. To actually get the item, you need to guess what it is. For example, instead of saying "gold", you're told that you see "round disks". In extreme cases, items are just described as "something". </p>
<p>Besides the usual gold and jewels, there are also some more esoteric items. Beside your bare hands, the most common weapons are bones. These, however, are easily dropped during a fight; swords and maces are more efficient, but the most powerful weapons are lasers or the legendary Uzi. Naturally, lasers require energy and Uzi needs ammo clips to work, which are hard to identify in the general trash lying around. You can also find explosives, or spell books useful for casting spells.</p>
<p>The game incorporates a mapping system called "Bonebuster Mansion Mapper". Auto-mapping is inherent in Wizard's Castles gameplay, but here, it is not automatic: the mapper needs Video RAM to display something, and it needs Main RAM to store information. So in order to enable auto-mapping, you need to find (and identify) as much RAM chips as you can. Each K of RAM can only display or store one room, and chips aren't abundant either in a haunted mansion full of skeletons, so just like in reality, you'll be constantly running out of RAM.</p>
<p>Finally, there are also nasty traps, like rooms filled with poison gas in which you begin to suffocate. These rooms only have one-way doors, so in order to leave them, you'll have to use your weapons to hammer the wall open, which takes time.</p>

<p><em>Hobbit: The True Story</em> is a tiny adventure, spoofing Tolkien's classic children's book.</p>
<p>The game also is one of the first text adventures implemented completely using DOS batch files. You enter your commands at the trusty "C:&gt;" DOS prompt. Each verb corresponds to a batch file with objects passed as arguments, and the game's state is stored in environment variables. Even saving and restoring works this way. Entering "DIR *.BAT /W" gives you a list of available commands, and you can also add the game directory to the DOS PATH environment variable, making the game a part of the DOS operation system, just like PING or FORMAT...</p>
<p>The game starts with you, Bilbo, sitting in his cozy little hobbit cave together with his pals Gandalf and Thorin. You'll soon find out that not everything is as you might remember it from the book: Gandalf seems to be working on a strange spell that involves exploding hobbits, while Thorin has turned into a drug addict hippie, judging from his answer, some serious with personal problems.</p>
<p>Although the game has but seven rooms, it gives you the occasion to retrace all the memorable scenes of the book -- together with psychotic Thorin, you'll be dealing with stoned trolls, goof off at Elrond's Last Homely Home and, ultimately, enter Smaug's fabulous cave.</p>
<p>The 2001 "redux Director's Cut" edition introduces some completely new content involving Thorin and a naked dwarf woman that won't be disclosed here for the sake of our innocent youth. It also improved compatibility for Win32.</p>

<p><em>Fox Ranger</em> is a side scrolling space shooter from Korea. There are 6 stages with an end-boss at the end of each stage. The gameplay is simply shoot-anything-that-moves and there are lots of enemies on screen to shoot down.</p>
<p>Press CTRL to fire the standard weapon and ALT to use the extra weapon, which is shown in a box at the top of the screen. When you die and your standard weapon is powered-up you don't lose it, instead it is powered-down, so you still have at least something.</p>
<p>You can select level easy, normal or hard to start with 7, 5 or 3 ships. And you can set the shield to easy, normal or hard to start with 9, 6 or 3 shield units.</p>

<p>A young swordsman named Rune is strolling in the woods when he notices a lake. And bathing in the lake is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. Suddenly, a wolf leaps from the woods and attacks the girl. Rune swiftly defeats the beast. The girl he saved turned out to be Cecil, the princess of Barran! Watching how the princess was taken back to the castle by a zealous knight, Rune swears that he will do anything to become worthy of her love. And his friends (all of whom happen to be girls) have no choice but to help him!</p>
<p><em>Last Crusader</em> is an RPG with several distinguishing features. The player controls a large party of six people. There are no random battles: enemies can be seen walking around. Once the player character and the enemy have contact, the player is taken to a separate battle screen. The turn-based battles have a strategy element: it is possible to move characters on the battlefield, and attack physically when enemies are close. There is a variety of healing, supporting, and offensive magical spells in the game. Characters belong to different classes (warrior, priest, etc.), and have access to different abilities. </p>
<p>Probably the most unusual (for a Japanese RPG) feature of the game is the player-controlled leveling up. Experience points do not turn into better character parameters automatically, but have to be allocated by the player, increasing attributes such as HP, strength, stamina, magic power, etc.</p>
<p>The game contains several scenes with nudity and can therefore be classified as adult; however, overall the sexual content is rather mild.</p>

<p><em>Variable Geo</em>, the first in the row of all-female fighting games, has a very simple story: in order to attract more customers, a restaurant organized a fighting tournament in which its waitresses take part. The player chooses one of the six available waitresses and has to defeat the other five to win the big prize.</p>
<p>There are no cut-scenes or story development in the game beside very short conversation snippets when characters finish the battle or during an adult scene. The player character has to win two battles out of three in order to advance to the next stage. Each successful round leads to an erotic scene: a mild one after the first round, a more hardcore one after the whole battle is won. The defeated girls are stripped down and sometimes humiliated in a sexual way. Each girl has standard moves (punch, kick, and their combinations while jumping or crouching), as well as character-specific techniques such as a long-range attack, throwing the opponents into air, choking the opponents, etc.</p>

<p><em>Stellar Crusade</em> is a two player game of exploitation and conquest on an interstellar scale. Two rival factions, The League and The People's Holy Republic, compete over a span of decades for control of a small, but richly endowed, star cluster in a remote arm of the galaxy. </p>
<p>The league is always controlled by the human player while the PHR may be either human or computer controlled. Each game turn represents three months and is divided into three phases with the PHR going first in each of the first two phases. The economic phase is where you do all your economic planning, expansion of industrial facilities and production of ships and military units. In the movement phase you'll issue orders for any covert operations, move ships, passengers and cargo between systems. The resolution phase is simultaneous and executed entirely by the computer.</p>
<p>The game will automatically end after the number turns specified in the scenario you're playing or if certain scenario specific conditions are met.</p>

<p><em>Rumpelstiltskin's Labyrinth of the Lost</em>  follows the original fairy tale, as you begin by meeting the miller's daughter, her father, the king, and other characters. The player can click around each scene, which are filled with characters, animals, and other surprises. In this short part Labyrinth of the Lost plays as an interactive story, and here and in some cut scenes later on it features Disney-like graphics and animations.</p>
<p>In the "Labyrinth" part, the title changes from an interactive story to an educational game. Once you (as the miller's daughter) meet Rumpelstiltskin, he will send you on a quest through the labyrinth each night. Your goal in the labyrinth is to find 3 golden orbs and bring them to the so-called "prize room." A cut-scene will follow that continues with the story. To find the orbs, you have to consult the so-called "Oracles" in the Labyrinth, and answer the questions that pop-up (about mythology, history etc.).</p>
<p>The player can choose between easy and hard mode, and turn on or off the questions in the labyrinth. The miller's daughter will sing a few songs during the game. There are no captions, and no options to change other settings.</p>

<p>This is a standard <em>Backgammon</em> board game that makes use of the "short" variation where opponent's stones can be taken. The only option is to play against the computer AI opponent. There is only one level of play. Moves are made with the corresponding letters on the keyboard.</p>

<p><em>Amaranth III</em> directly continues the story of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/43138/amaranth-ii/"> second game</a>. The knight Lyann Fremdes and his lovely companion, the elf Din, the heroes of the game, head to the city of Dematria, where Din is met with joy; there is even an article about her magical healing powers in a local newspaper. All goes well till the heroes decide to visit the city Magnelia. A hostile army invades the train station and massacres people. Looks like Lyann and Din have to hide for the time being, before they can think of a secure way to stop the enemies - which is anything but easy, since the enemy seems to possess advanced technology...</p>
<p><em>Amaranth III</em> differs from its <a href="/search/?q=amaranth"> predecessors</a> in several ways. It has a more modern setting, with steam-punk elements. The gameplay system has been re-vamped, becoming closer to a strategy RPG than to an action RPG. As before, the battles feature free movement, but it is turn-based now, with action points for each characters; the character can act as long as he/she still have action points left. There is a "Vigour" system that keeps track of characters' stamina; once the vigour is lowered, the character begins to lose hit points. Using special items and resting in inns restores vigour. </p>
<p>The game also makes a step towards strategy RPGs by focusing less on exploration and more on pre-set, story-dictated battles. However, the small number of controllable characters and the ability to explore prevents it from being a full-fledged strategy RPG.</p>

<p>The events of the game take place in medieval Japan, most probably during the Edo period (17th to 19th century). The rulers of Edo have heard about a powerful Dragon God who was sealed long time ago, and whose defeat made it possible to create the country of Japan. He wants to restore this great power for his own selfish purposes. The hero of the game is a young warrior named Gento, whose companion is a feline creature named Benimaru. One day Gento arrives at a northern village and is attacked by Edo soldiers. Determined to find out the reason for this hostility, Gento and Benimaru embark on a long journey across the whole Japan.</p>
<p><em>Appare-den: Fukuryū no Shō</em> plays like a traditional top-down Japanese RPG, with world map traveling, random enemies, and turn-based combat. The attacks in combat are animated; after the player has assigned command to all the characters, the animation shows the entire party attack at once. There are also special techniques the heroes can learn and execute in battles.</p>

<p><em>Drake Snake and the Secret Crypt</em> is a platform game where the player controls the eponymous Drake, who came to Africa in hopes of finding treasure. His plane crashes in the middle of jungle and Drake finds himself inside a cave complex. </p>
<p>Drake explores the 13 levels of underground caverns and tries to find the exit while avoiding or killing the enemies within. Enemy creatures involve man-eating plants, spiders, birds and scorpions. Some enemies kill Drake instantly, while others just drain his health (not to mention that Drake's health is constantly falling slowly). Drake's main assets include: his jetpack which allows him to fly (but has limited fuel), a gun (with limited ammo) and bombs which can be set on the ground. Some walls can be blown up with bombs.</p>

<p><em>Richard Scarry's Best Neighborhood Disc Ever!</em> is an edutainment title for children based on a book by Richard Scarry. In the game players explore Busytown, a fictional place where there's always a lot going on. The whole town comes to life in cartoon animations. Players choose places and characters to visit. At these places players can practice and learn important pre-reading skills and listen to stories. Taught skills include memory, color recognition, vocabulary, pattern recognition and counting.</p>

<p><em>Richard Scarry's Busiest Neighborhood Disc Ever!</em> is an edutainment title for young children that is based on a book by Richard Scarry. In the game players can explore Busytown's shops and offices. All around town they will encounter familiar characters created by Scarry. There are various games to be played, such as a visual memory game in which you have to recreate an ice cream recipe. The player also learns what he or she can expect to see and find in various locations such as a doctor's office as well as more fundamental skills such as recognizing the weather, patterns and sounds and matching up shapes.</p>

<p>Popo Car is a top down driving game where you are a cab driver who has to pick up customers and drop them off at their destinations. While doing this, you have to make sure you don't crash into other vehicles (which they don't make easy) and refuel in time. If you pick up and drop off the required amount of passengers you advance a level.</p>

<p>This is another clone of "Star Trek" strategy, as many others, but maybe this is oldest of them. You have your trusted Enterprise, and you need to destroy all evil Klingons in this galaxy. Invisible Romulans are here too.</p>
<p>Like in other such games, the galaxy is divided into 64 (8x8) quadrants, and each quadrant divided again into 64 (8x8) sectors. Each sectors, aside from the mentioned ships, can also contain friendly Cruisers, Starbases, stars or an "evil Death Planet", if it is not empty, of course.</p>
<p>You can hyperjump, scan, fire photon torpedoes or phasers and also have risen/lowered shield and make repairs.</p>
<p>This game was created using BASIC one.</p>

<p>This is ancient board game of Othello (another name is Reversi). You must capture opponent's pieces, placing your stones on board. Any opponent's stones directly between your new stone and any of your old ones became captured and reversed to your color.</p>
<p>You can play with friend or with computer.</p>
<p>This is anonymous BASIC version of 1982, translated from TRS-80 version.</p>

<p><em>Air Warrior</em> is an online multiplayer flight simulator. The flight line comes with a stable of 17 WW II era fighters (P-51D Mustang, P-38J Lightning, F4U Corsair, Spitfire MK IX, BF-109F, FW-190, YAK-9D) and bombers (B-17G Flying Fortress, B-25J Mitchell, Junkers JU-88) from 5 nations for your aerial dogfights and bombing missions. </p>
<p>Connect via the GEnie network or fly head-to-head against a friend at modem speeds as low as 1200 baud. If you played via the GEnie network, the battles could contain up to 50 people from all over America at the same time.</p>
<p>Each plane has unique features in regards to performance, maneuverability, and flight control characteristics. Using the keyboard control help-screen (brought up with the F10 key) during flight helps reduce the learning curve. Chat communication in real-time air battles is limited to keyboard text, which makes quick abbreviated responses a necessity. </p>
<p>The game has SVGA graphics of 640x480 256 colors, which allows enhanced cockpit layouts, increased visibility, and realism during offline training and online aerial warfare.</p>

<p>God created paradise, where the angels lived, and the Earth, populated by humans. The humans were not content with their fate and rebelled against God. But as a result, demons invaded the Earth, led by Satan himself. The proud humans of the city Sodom started building the Tower of Babel (<em>sic</em>), trying to reach the skies. God sent a high-ranked seraph named Alucard to reason with humans. However, archangel Michael thought differently, figuring that the humans deserved no forgiveness. Meanwhile, the Satan has his own plans...</p>
<p><em>Dark Seraphim</em> is an action RPG. The player navigates Alucard through top-down locations. When enemies attack, the player is taken to a separate battle screen. As Alucard, it is possible to move freely and to attack enemies simply by bumping into them. Running towards the edge of the screen would allow the hero to escape. During battles Alucard is often surrounded by a large amount of enemies; but friendly characters can join him and fight on his side. Gaining experience points from defeated foes, Alucard can level up and become stronger.</p>

<p>This multi-genre game represents famous historical events of World War II called D-Day and related to operation "Overlord", when Allies attack Axis massively in France.</p>
<p>The game proposes to be a general in command of Allies group and optionally perform certain actions by yourself also. Such actions include:1. Piloting a plane over French territory to bomb strategically important places;
2. Landing on hostile territory as paratrooper;
3. Breaking through enemy lines as infantry soldier;
4. Driving a tank and fighting as a tank team with enemies in French village.</p>
<p>All kinds of gameplay differ in looks from 1st or 3rd person perspective in simulator-like missions (tank and plane respectively) to isometric (infantry) and platform (paratrooper) with corresponding actions made in all of them. All such military actions may be played as single missions or combined and also strategically managed on the map during a real-time approach in Overlord campaign. The game progress may be saved to be restored later.</p>
<p>Multiple options allow to turn off participation in certain or all military actions as well as adjust enemy actions including even such event as 'Hitler does not wake up'.</p>

<p>The official game of the MISL, this game allows you to create an expansion team and build it into a championship franchise. You can trade and create players, modify team rosters, and train players for the season. Team stats are kept for 9 seasons, and the game offers the ability to coach, GM, play or all 3.</p>

<p>In the year 1179, on a small island off the coast of Wales, Baron Michel de Lustie interrupts the king's game of ha'penny with his daughter, asking for her hand in marriage. The king is annoyed with the interruption and sends him off, but the baron kidnaps the princess and holds her for a 50-pence ransom.</p>
<p>The best knight in England is too busy on a vacation to rescue her, so he sends you, Lord Avalot d'Argent, instead. It's up to you to go get the princess back, solving puzzles and meeting various characters on the way.</p>
<p><em>Lord Avalot</em> is a humorous text-based adventure game. The gameplay is a lot like the old Sierra adventures (<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/122/kings-quest/">King's Quest</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/83855/space-quest/">Space Quest</a>, etc.), where you move Lord Avalot around the environment and type in commands to do things. You're given a mouse-driven menu to use, too.</p>

<p>This is a compilation of the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5039/megafortress/">Megafortress</a>, patched to version 1.1, the expansion pack <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/57575/megafortress-operation-sledgehammer/">Megafortress: Operation Sledgehammer</a>, and a mission editor.</p>

<p>The events of this game take place in London, in the second half of the 19th century. Mark Flint is a young private detective. One day he sees several men assault a young girl near his apartment. He saves the girl, only to discover that he has seen her face already on a wanted poster. But the girl (whose name is Jewel) explains that she is being hunted by the mysterious society of Rosenkreuz. Her father was a great scientist who knew how to make items out of pure ether; his zeppelin was attacked, and the Rosenkreuz are after the ether-made necklace Jewel is wearing. Mark, Jewel, and their friends have to find a way to defeat the Rosenkreuz and their leader, the ambitious Irene, who won't stop until the entire world is under her control...</p>
<p><em>GunBlaze</em> plays like a story-driven Japanese RPG, with the real-world setting adding some unusual gameplay elements. Most of the game takes place in urban locations (such as the city of London); instead of a world map, there is a city map with locations marked on it. Despite the fantasy elements, the game tries to keep the realistic setting without supernatural or sci-fi themes - for example, there are no magic spells or any equivalent powers. The heroes fight with guns, for which they have to buy bullets, and which require re-loading during combat.</p>
<p>Otherwise, <em>GunBlaze</em> preserves traditional Japanese RPG gameplay elements such as linear plot progression, simple character development system (leveling up), random enemies, turn-based battle engine, etc.</p>
<p>Despite the historical European setting, <em>GunBlaze</em> has typically Japanese manga/anime-style character design. The game has nudity and sexual content, though it can be considered softcore.</p>

<p><em>Highway Fighter</em> is a scrolling top-down shooter, where you control a car equipped with advanced weaponry, sent out to destroy a world-threatening criminal organization. Each level is a long, winding road along which the car drives, facing various enemy vehicles coming at him from the opposite direction. Close contact with the edges of the road or with the enemies will result in destruction. The car is equipped with a laser cannon with which to destroy the opponents. </p>
<p>There are a couple of pick-ups that can be found on the way: a weapon upgrade, a bonus that allows the car to destroy enemies by running into them, a bomb that instantly clears the screen of enemies, and three types of shields: a rotation shield (it orbits the car and destroys bad guys on contact), a side shield (prevents the car from destruction from the edges of the road) and a forward shield (destroys enemies in front of the car).</p>

<p><em>The Secret of Monkey Island (Demo Version)</em> is a demo version for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/616/the-secret-of-monkey-island/">The Secret of Monkey Island</a>. Guybrush Threepwood finds himself in the harbor town of Melee Island but is trapped from leaving it: a troll blocks the exit and won't let Guybrush pass until he knows the magic phrase.</p>
<p>To solve the game the player has to explore the (shortened) town and solve a few basic puzzles which are partly not present in the full version of the game. He also needs to chat with several persons known from the game which all have new dialogue, e.g. the voodoo lady talks about some features of the commercial version and Guybrush constantly cracks jokes about this being a demo.</p>
<p>The game uses the same control scheme as the most Lucasfilm adventures at the time. On the bottom of the screen are nine verbs displayed. The player clicks on of these verbs and then on an item in the game world to issue a command, e.g. picking something up.</p>

<p>The Deluxe-Edition of the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3186/atlantis-the-lost-tales/">Atlantis: The Lost Tales</a> gives you an additional Soundtrack CD, which includes five titles taken from the album "ATLANTIS" released by MMM.</p>

<p>The goal of this another <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>-clone is to clear as many lines as possible, and do not allow blocks stack up to the top.</p>
<p>New feature is a 'NOT' activated by player during the game. When four lines are cleared simultaneously the player receives a 'NOT'. For each 'NOT', a notch is cut out of the border on each side, starting from the bottom.</p>
<p>There are 9 levels of difficulty accompanied by different background pictures.</p>

<p><em>Tornado: Operation Desert Storm</em> is an add-on for Digital Integration's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tornado">Tornado</a> flight simulator. The disk includes 20 pre-programmed missions for the
Tornado IDS and ADV variant. The new warzone also supports campaign play like the original programme. New aircraft, vehicles and ground objects were added and the colour schemes of the 3D objects are updated for the new desert scenario.</p>

<p><em>Deluxe Action Soccer 96</em> contains the original 
<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5573/action-soccer/">Action Soccer</a> plus an PC Turbo Player Gamepad.</p>

<p>Bert is a young dragon that lives with his parents Berta and Herbert in a magical land, where dragons got civilized, started to wear clothes and live peacefully with humans. One day, Herbert suddenly disappears, with rumors saying the he left his wife and son behind to search for a lost treasure. Meanwhile, a magical wand called Eveline decides to rule the world out of boredom, using Bert to cast a petrifying spell on the marionettes of a traveling puppeteer and cause other mischief among the local population. Now, Bert must fix all the trouble caused by Eveline, and search for his missing father.</p>
<p><em>Dračí Historie</em> is a Czech point-and-click adventure game, originally the first Czech CD game ever to be published in 1995, and later released as open-source freeware in 2006 by the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/394777/robert-spalek/">original developer</a>. It follows the standards of the genre, where the main objective is to collect a series of scenery objects and use them to solve puzzles. The inventory shows the interior of a brown sack, and can be accessed by placing the cursor on the top of the screen. A map showing an overhead view of the land can be summoned by positioning the cursor at the bottom. New places are automatically added to the map as the player explores the surroundings, allowing instantaneous travel to any of the previously visited locations.</p>
<p>The dialogue with other characters uses the branching tree system implemented by several other games, where multiple questions and answers appear listed as options at the bottom and the player has to select one of them. There is no menu with verbs, instead all the actions are performed with the right mouse button, while the left one is used to get descriptions of objects and portions of the scenery.</p>

MegaTraveller 1: The Zhodani Conspiracy + MegaTraveller 2: Quest for the Ancients

<p>A compilation of two classic sci-fi role-playing games: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=megatraveller-1-the-zhodani-conspiracy">MegaTraveller 1</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=megatraveller-2-quest-for-the-ancients">MegaTraveller 2</a>. Both are adaptations of the original table-top game, set in Marc W. Miller's (Mega)Traveller universe.</p>

<p>A compilation of two classic Simis flight sims:</p>
<p><a href="/search/?q=super-vga-harrier">Super-VGA Harrier</a> has you flying the US Marine Corps' AV-8B Harrier II from the deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Tarawa in a UN-approved intervention against Indonesian forces in East Timor. 
Essentially, SVGA Harrier is two games in one, as part of the game is strategic simulation instead of flight sim. As the commander of the entire task force you control the fleet, armor, gunships, special forces (to lase targets for you), infantry and your limited supply of Harriers in a real-time campaign.</p>
<p>In <a href="/search/?q=mig-29m-super-fulcrum">MiG-29M Super Fulcrum</a> you're a pilot in the Russian contingent of a UN peacekeeping force dispatched to a small South American country to subdue a rebel takeover. 
The action takes place in one big dynamic scenario. Some of the game's features: mountainous terrain, varied ground detail and three different ordinance loadouts.</p>

<p><em>3-D Dinosaur Adventure</em> is an educational game about the many types of dinosaurs from Earth's past. As the title suggests, the game has several areas that make use of the included blue-red 3-D glasses that make the dinosaurs appear to leap off the computer screen. </p>
<p>Kids can learn using the reference encyclopedia section to explore when or where the dinosaurs lived, how they evolved, and what survival methods they used. The title has several learning activities that take advantage of the wealth of fossil photo records and illustrations for visual recognition of dinosaurs. It also has a movie theater that shows the dinosaurs' anatomy so that the kids understand the biology of the creatures. The 3-D museum allows you to walk around in a virtual museum, using your 3-D glasses to really bring impact to the creatures as they pop off the screen.</p>
<p>The game layout is stylized like a theme park, and has four main areas to explore with hidden items to find and experience.</p>

BASIC Fun: Computer Games, Puzzles, And Problems Children Can Write

<p>Amongst many non-interactive introductory type-in BASIC programs intended to get young programmers started, this book includes a few simple games:<em> </em>Spelling* (as described, TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE MISSING LETTERS IN THIS WORD);</p>
<ul>
<li><em>You Are A Detective</em>, a <em>very</em> short choose-your-own-adventure mystery;</li>
<li><em>Shell Game</em> ("needless to say, the computer's 'hand' is definitely quicker than your eye!");</li>
<li><em>Dice Game</em>;</li>
<li><em>Number Guessing Game</em> (which of two players guesses closest to the number the computer picked?);</li>
<li><em>Number Sequences</em> (what should the next number in this sequence be?);</li>
<li><em>How Warm Is Your Heart</em> (a re-skinned number guessing game filling in temperature for proximity to the number);</li>
<li><em>War</em> (the card game);</li>
<li><em>Pinball</em> (a highly abstract representation);</li>
<li><em>Paper, Rock, Scissors</em>;</li>
<li><em>Ring the Bell</em> (simulating the carnival sideshow game);</li>
<li><em>Lifeguard</em> (pick a number and maybe the life preserver you throw reaches the drowning swimmer);</li>
<li><em>Sea Battle</em> (aka <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Battleship">Battleship</a>);</li>
<li><em>Math Quiz</em>;</li>
<li><em>Tennis</em> (again, highly abstracted);</li>
<li><em>Ski Weekend</em> (choose the right jobs to earn the money needed to go on vacation in six weeks!;</li>
<li>and <em>Backpack</em> (attempt to win a cross-country hiking race without running out of food and water).</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition to the platforms mentioned here, the BASIC programs included were intended to run, with minimal amendment, on the BASIC versions found on the HP-2000 and Osborne lines of computers.</p>

<p>In this unauthorized AGS fan sequel to Sierra's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16075/quest-for-glory-i-so-you-want-to-be-a-hero/">Quest For Glory I: So You Want To Be A Hero</a>, the player controls The Hero Of Spielburg, at loose ends between official numbered installments of the series, revisiting the past glories in the stomping grounds of his early days. But much to his dismay, he finds that despite having lifted Baba Yaga's curse and helped practically everyone in the sylvan valley, everything has backslid to an even worse situation than when he started! The Sheriff has been murdered, the Baron's daughter Elsa has disappeared again and his feckless son Barnard is running the kingdom into the ground! Organized crime calls the shots and even the farmers' fields lie fallow! If ever there was a time for a hero to gird his loins and head back into the fray, this was it. And yet -- there is a hero already in town, Sir Richard, but he doesn't appear to be doing much good for anyone.</p>
<p>A fond revisitation of the locations and characters from the (SCI re-make of the) original game, the fan developers have re-implemented not only the interface of the game but the environs of the Duchy of Spielburg, projected recent developments in its denizens' lives, have thrown in a handful of new characters and locations (lifted from other adventure games for visual consistency) and breathed in almost as many problems requiring the assistance of an adventurer as the original! Some sophomoric (and, admittedly, downright profane) humour is the only tempering aspect to this tribute.</p>

<p><em>MesiBamba Shel Bamba</em> was released as part of a marketing campaign for the Israeli snack Bamba.</p>
<p>The player is cast as the snack's baby mascot. His objective is to collect the Bamba snacks scattered around the Jungle and deliver them to the animals, while avoiding various obstacles such as cliffs and puddles.</p>
<p>The game features a single course and three difficulty levels.</p>

<p><em>Mickey’s Jigsaw Puzzles</em> is a simple, early child development, shape-learning game for young kids. It allows the player to select from among 15 different pictures of Mickey and friends. Players can select how many pieces should the jigsaw puzzle have to allow for many different skill levels of children. </p>
<p>Once the puzzle is complete, the child is rewarded with some simple animation of the picture. Pictures can also be printed out to create a coloring book.</p>

<p>The game is the second promotional game for the Israeli snack Bamba.</p>
<p>The gameplay is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9441/bouncing-babies/">Bouncing Babies</a>.
In this game, Bamba snacks are being thrown by animals and the player has to prevent the snacks from falling and bounce them into the Bamba bag located on the other side of the screen, while avoiding occasionally thrown dynamites.
Upon collecting 20 snacks, the player is moved to a different area and gets an extra life.</p>

<p><em>Super Trix</em> is a promotional game of the Israeli newspaper <em>Yedioth Ahronoth</em>, in collaboration with Coca-Cola.</p>
<p>The player controls Super Trix on his quest to recover the six missing sections of the newspaper and has to go through each of the levels while dealing with hostile bees, thunderbolts, and other dangers. Super Trix's health is represented by Coca-Cola cans, which can be collected throughout the levels for recovery.</p>

<p>In <em>Mickey’s Runaway Zoo</em> both Mickey and Goofy team up to return all of the animals back to the zoo. This is done by a series of screens for young children to start visually identifying numbers incorporated into vivid color landscapes. </p>
<p>When the child finds a number and presses the matching number on the keyboard, they are rewarded by a quick set of animations. Each animation shows that numeric amount of animals entering the wagon for return to the zoo.</p>

<p>In <em>Goofy's Railway Express</em>, Goofy and Mickey are railroad conductors helping children with colors and shapes. This is done by a series of screens for young children to start visually identifying shapes and color matching while the train crosses colorful landscapes. </p>
<p>When the train smoke stack produces colored shapes, such as a square, circle, or triangle, the child must press the spacebar key. If the shape and color matches the shape and color above a Disney character waiting on the train platform, then the train will stop and pick up that passenger. Otherwise an unique animation appears somewhere on the screen for entertainment.</p>

<p>In <em>Mickey's Colors &amp; Shapes</em> he will take the role of a magician performing a magic show. The game helps young children to start visually identifying shapes and color matching, while Mickey talks and provides supportive feedback for the puzzles presented as magic. Minnie Mouse is his assistant between acts. Mickey's magic show has three acts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Act 1 - Mickey juggles shapes of various colors.</li>
<li>Act 2 - Mickey builds scenes by making objects appear.</li>

<p>This educational strategy game represents the events of Norman Conquest of England taking place in XI century. Historically, Harold the Second, last Anglo-Saxon king of England, lost the Battle of Hastings to William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, who became the next king.</p>
<p>The game is flown on schematic map of England. Players take the roles of William and Harold. In turns they give orders, move units and conquer areas. To win the game, player must gain 60 points. Points are gained by controlling land and taxing peasants. Potency is important in taxing peasants and fighting: it is increased on "low" tax rates and decreased on "medium"/"hard" tax rates. Player will gain 1 point per 1 peasant at "medium" tax rate and 2 points at "hard" tax rate. To set the tax rate player should have tax collectors.</p>
<p>If one of player's units enters an area occupied by enemy, the fight will be proposed. Area becomes controlled by player if it was not occupied by anyone, or fight was won. </p>
<p>Spies may be used. They hide from the enemies and are not seen around 80% of the time no matter who occupies the land.</p>
<p>Killing the opposing monarch will not necessarily win the game. 
Harold is already the king, so William can crown himself as soon as he gains 30 points or kills Harold. He must go to London to accept the crown.</p>
<p>The educational twist of the game is in-game encyclopedia and a question before player's turn. Incorrect answer will result in a loss of player's movement ability.</p>
<p>The Quiz full of questions on these historical events may be played instead of strategy simulation, where multiple options may be turned on/off as well.</p>

<p>This arcade game is a cross between <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Space+Invaders">Space Invaders</a>. Player controls an electromechanical robot, who walks along the top of a wall consisting of bricks and jumps on it. A line of bugs is coming to him from the bottom of the screen in vertical direction, while the bomb is flying in horizontal direction in the center. Bugs may be killed by jumping on the wall, which results in a brick falling from its bottom. The number of jumps is equal to the bottom brick's distance from the robot. Flying bomb may eliminate the brick until it reaches the bug, but if the bug is killed, its bad or good soul will fly to the top, where robot may collect it and make influence on his mood. After the bug is eliminated, another one will start to crawl from the bottom. There is a snail moving in horizontal direction at the very bottom of the screen, which is mostly covered by the bugs crawling to the top, and it may be hit by brick in case of success also. </p>
<p>The player is transferred to another level after necessary quantity of the bugs is killed. But beware! Robot's energy is exhausted, when bug is crawling upon him, and the robot becomes non-functional if the bugs reached the very top of the screen or if the robot falls off the wall.</p>

<p>This remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Batman">Batman</a> adds new color graphics and sounds to the isometric action-adventure from 1986. As in the original, the player controls Batman (renamed to "Watman" to avoid litigation) in his quest to assemble the hovercraft and rescue Robin. The batcave is filled with bizarre creatures and surreal rooms, where dangerous roaming enemies have to be avoided and hazardous environments must be navigated to collect all the vehicle pieces and finish the main goal.</p>
<p>Watman can only use his special abilities after finding and equipping one of his famous gadgets. The boots allow him to jump, the bag lets him carry objects, the thruster gives horizontal control when falling and the belt slows the speed of descent. Other items give temporary powers, like energy pellets that increase Watman's speed, shields that make the hero invulnerable for a short time, spring boots for higher jumps, a Batman doll that gives an extra life and a neutralizer that removes all powers.</p>
<p>Some rooms have batsignals that provide a rudimentary way of saving progress, allowing the player to resume from that point after losing all lives. The PC remake has the ability to save the game at any place with the F2 key, and load it later from the main menu. Batman loses one life with each save, and the player can't use this function when the number of remaining lives is zero.</p>

<p><em>The Burps</em> is a former shareware, now freeware clone of Ultimate's <a href="/search/?q=Atic+Atac">Atic Atac</a>, with improved graphics, sounds and new level design. As in the original 1983 game, the player selects one of three characters trapped inside a haunted castle, each with unique weapons and routes through the maze-like building.</p>
<p>The main objective is to explore the map and find the key for the entrance door. Dangerous ghosts and other supernatural beings materialize on each room, milling around the character to drain some health energy. The energy meter is presented as a roasted chicken that is slowly consumed until only its bones remain on the plate. The lost energy can be restored by picking up random food items scattered around the screen. Useful items like keys can also be collected and stored on three slots at the top interface to open new passages and solve puzzles. Trapdoors and staircases give access to other floors.</p>

<p>An army of imps has taken over your computer screen, and they're transporting lost souls, zipping randomly across the playfield. Your objective - to free the sinful souls by trapping the imps, with the help of a huge glass.  Carefully watch the green little prancing creatures, position the cursor, and drop the glass to capture as many as you can.  This will determine how many points you get, and if you manage to painfully pinch their tails with the edge of the glass, your accuracy (and sadism) will earn you a bonus multiplier.</p>
<p>The single-player mode is a race against the clock; two players can compete against each other, taking turns. Each player gets a total of 100 seconds to free as many souls as possible (very lucky shots will award you with free attempts).  The best 50 scores are recorded, and the high scores table can be cleared and even restored later if desired.</p>

<p>In Sea Search you must find several treasures throughout this aquatic adventure. It will require deep sea diving and a little digging to find them all. You will need to elude several dangers from pirates to man eating sharks or become fish bait.</p>

The command parser is a standard verb noun type (Go Door).</p>

Willy must collect all the objects to gain access to his bedroom, whose entrance is blocked by the bossy woman. The rooms are filled with strange creatures, and Willy can be killed by touching any of them, by falling from great heights or by hazardous environments.

<p>Hundreds of years ago, the ruler of Transylvania, a man by the name of Monte Carlo, was sealed away by the soul of a lone sacrifice. However, that seal has, over the centuries, begun to weaken, and recently a great number of monsters have started to appear around the land. Young girls have started disappearing from the villages in the area, but there are whispers of one from afar who may be able to bring them safely back. A young girl named Rusty appears in one of the villages, seeking the source of the monsters. Two young children, whose sister was taken by the monsters, ask Rusty to save her, and she heads straight on, whip in hand.</p>

The maze moves independently from the character, and the main objective is to keep shifting position to avoid collision with the surrounding red brick wall that stays in place. Zippy can collect certain objects like grass and plums, but dies when touching the wall or certain hazardous environments and enemies.</p>

<p>In this out-of-canon adventure of gamebook hero Kai Master Lone Wolf, the player controls the dashing adventurer scaling the interior of warlock Gorazh's sinister magic tower Kazan-Gor -- an inverted pyramid, broadening as it gets higher -- in pursuit of a Lorestone of Nyxator located at the very top.  Imprisoned in his flick-screen tower, Gorazh has filled it with monsters and traps, the most insidious of which was a magic mirror, Dhazag-Oud, whose seven shards reflect back superior counterparts of whoever gazes upon them (and which subsequently result in boss battles.)</p>
<p>The gameplay largely skips over the choose-your-own-adventure sequences of Lone Wolf's gamebook roots and instead just initially prompts the player to select four of eight Kai skills (eg. Mindshield, Sixth Sense, Healing) to use (with restrictions) over the course of his tower travails.  From there, the player controls Lone Wolf's movements, skill use and attack strategies using the keyboard controls.</p>

<p>This remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/15189/skool-daze/">Skool Daze</a> replaces the limited 8-bit graphics and sounds from the original with new enhanced assets while maintaining the same classic gameplay from 1985. Besides the overall graphical improvements, this version adds small touches like random weather and other special effects. The player assumes the role of Eric, a school student in a desperate quest to erase a disastrous report file from the director's computer. The teachers and other fellow students are shown moving about on a scrolling side-view of the building, where the player has to guide the main character to the classes and make him attend and perform other chores from the daily routine. The protagonist can interact with the environment and cause mischief, write messages on the available blackboards, punch the other kids making them fall flat on their backs, and shoot pebbles at distracted teachers with a slingshot.</p>
<p>Eric must hit the shields decorating the many rooms of the building to retrieve the password for the headmaster's computer, where the report file is stored. After being caught doing any transgression, he receives a random number of lines as punishment, with 10000 as the maximum allowed before being expelled from the school. Most of the children are anonymous characters milling around the location, but some have names and personalities that can hinder progress. Angelface is the local bully that sometimes contracts mumps, infecting Eric if he crosses path with him and causing the end of the game, as the sick boy is sent home by one of the teachers. Einstein is a snitch, telling the teachers about any misbehavior he witnessed.</p>

<p><em>Poke-Man</em> is another clone of Pac-Man. You (smiling face) try to escape the Ghosts (playing cards' symbols) and collect all the dots on the level to finish it. There are power (green) dots that allow you to eat Ghosts temporary. The whole level is one screen size.</p>
<p>The only feature that distinguishes this clone from others is the completely ASCII-graphics. There are no other symbols on screen.</p>

<p><em>RAMSAK</em> is a game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=pac-man">Pac-Man</a>, but completely rendered in ASCII art. The player (a white smiling face) travels on a field, trying to collect all dots and symbols and escaping evil Red Faces. There are also destructible (light-blue) and indestructible (dark blue) blocks on field.</p>
<p>There is only one playing field, but it is randomly generated: there is random block placement, in-field bonus symbols randomly restocked after each death, and, moreover, each Red Face can remove or place any symbol on board (including indestructible blocks).</p>
<p>There are no different levels and the game plays on the same board until the player loses all lives.</p>

<p>PC-Bakterien! is set in the microcosm. A vicious attack of mean bacteria and viruses endangers the organism. You take the role of Mikky, the worm-like chief defense microbe, and have to defend the organism against the microscopic meanies. Mikky won't be able to do this task alone, but he gets the help of allied cells, namely the hurrying helper cells and the hungry but sluggish feeder cells. Together, Mikky and his allies have to eliminate the multiplying foes to save the organism.</p>
<p>PC-Bakterien! is an isometric puzzle game against time. In every level, the basic objective is to clear the organism of all bacteria and viruses. As the enemies constantly multiply when they have the space to do so, this goal has to be achieved before there are too many foes around. Mikky is the only character you directly control. You have to instruct the helper cells to mark the enemies by moving Mikky to your allies, then the feeder cells are able to eat the critters. </p>
<p>However, your friends are not the smartest and you have to help them finding their targets. When the enemies are not close to them, the allied cells just aimlessly move around. Mikky himself can act as an obstacle to help the cells finding the way, but is more effective to make use of the items the chief microbe can pick up. Place barriers and arrows to guide the cells to the bacteria and viruses, certain less common items such as a whistle might also help you.</p>
<p>The first enemies are immobile and do nothing but multiplying, but later you also encounter moving bacteria, enemies that can only be defeated under certain conditions, and even predators that destroy the helper cells. You might also not find any helper cells in a level and have to create them yourself first. Various puzzle elements are introduced throughout the game, such as enzymes to open new ways by creating tissue, nerves that trigger certain pulses, multiple layers, or alcohol bacteria you have to lure away with beer...</p>
<p>You are able to choose between three difficulty levels, with the easiest one being a training level without multiplying enemies. For every level, your high score will be saved. You are awarded points for various things, such as instructing helper cells, collecting certain items, or when foes are eliminated. You also get bonus points at the end of a level depending on how fast you were and on the difficulty level.</p>

<p>You control a black orb that is trapped in a puzzle-like labyrinth. A level is called a landscape and there are 200 landscapes to solve. The main gameplay element consists of opening the so-called oxydstones. You can bump against an oxydstone and a colored symbol will appear. Uncover two of the same colors and they will stay open, making it a memory-like game. Open all oxydstones to solve a landscape.</p>
<p>To make things more interesting there are walls, pitfalls, quicksand, one-way walls, breakable tiles, reflecting lasers (for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14886/deflektor/">Deflektor</a>-like puzzle solving), movable blocks (for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a>-like puzzle solving), tiles that crumble away when you roll over them, doors, switches, etc. Some of the landscapes contain items that you can pick up and use. Items include pieces of paper with hints, umbrellas that give you the ability to float, bombs to blow up walls, or a spring to jump across gaps.</p>
<p>To mix up the gameplay, every tenth landscape is a meditation landscape where you simultaneously control several green orbs. Manoeuvre each of the orbs into a pit to solve these landscapes.</p>

<p>Terry Pratchett's popular books of comedic fantasies set in Discworld provide the backdrop for this free MUD (a Multi-User Dungeon which is an early text version of an MMO). It uses its own open source LPMud codebase (the LPC programming language which was designed specifically for MUDs enabling all of Discworld's creators to write different code for every room and every object).  Initially you could connect to it through the internet to its server by using one of several MUD clients but now can also use a browser to connect directly by using a Java client.</p>
<p>The world is made up of areas simulating several big cities (Ankh-Morpork, Djelibeybi, Bes Pelargic, and Genua) on two continents, plus more smaller towns, and more than a million rooms representing the countryside.  The first two cities are run by councils of elected player magistrates.  </p>
<p>When you first make a new character, you begin with a limited inventory and some play money in a separate newbie area where you can learn the fundamentals on quests, guilds, etiquette, interacting with NPCs, fighting and shop interaction. Before leaving the newbie area to enter the game, you will have to choose a nationality to determine your start location and native tongue.  There are a number of chat channels for individuals and clubs. Player versus Player interaction is on an opt-in basis. </p>
<p>Each character can join one of the guilds where you will have some unique abilities not available to others. Some common attributes like hit points, perceptiveness, and swimming skill are the same for everyone but divine magic for priests or the 'backstab' command for covert-based guilds are limited to guilds.  There's six main classes - wizard, priest, witch, warrior, thief, and assassin with the last 3 being split into several sub-guilds.</p>
<p>The game mechanics are based on a semi-permanent stats dealing with your essential nature and skills relating to your aptitude in performing certain tasks which can be increased by spending experience points to learn yourself or from other  players/NPCs.  Levels are uncapped, but rise in cost of experience points per level.  To gain these experience points, you can  defeat NPCs in combat, use guild points (categorised action points), explore areas, solve puzzle-like quests, accomplish in-game achievements, or just being online will very slowly give you some.</p>
<p>Characters start with seven lives, which can be replaced in-game, but if all are lost you cannot be revived.  Most of the game world is not persistent - areas and objects are reset, except players' inventories, contents of rentable houses, and safe deposit box-like vaults which are saved.</p>

<p>The main protagonist of <em>Möbius Roid</em> is a young man named Masa Taniyama, who lives alone in a mansion in a quiet district, and dedicates most of his time to one activity: sex. He also has a partner to his sexual escapades, a very "active" young girl named Chie. But another young girl is raped somewhere in the neighborhood, and this changes Masa's life...</p>
<p><em>Möbius Roid</em> plays like a Japanese adventure, with the largest portion of the gameplay being dedicated to menu-based moving between locations (usually parts of a high school). In some locations, a typical "Look - Think - Talk" menu appears. The somewhat unusual feature of this game is the fact it has two protagonists: Masa and Chie. Masa is the playable character most of the time, but the player can switch to Chie, which is sometimes dictated by the game, but sometimes is a choice that can lead to different story paths (read: sex scenes).</p>

<p><em>Epic Baseball</em> is a baseball management and coaching simulator. The game allows for Exhibition Play as well as League Play. In Exhibition play you will select both teams playing and where they're playing. In League Play you will guide a single team through the majors.

The action on the field is automatic but you will determine for example whether a hitter will play aggressively or will bunt and whether a pitcher will throw curves or ball the player to base. The game's graphical depictions of baseball are optional and a coach can simply opt out of them and see the final scores.</p>
<p>The shareware edition of the game is limited to five historic teams, exhibition games only and no modifications of playbooks or schedules. The Deluxe edition of the game has: all officially licensed MLBPA players and teams, League Play, League Utilities allowing you to manage league and teams, Reports which you can generate, view and print, Schedule Editor which lets you make up your own schedules.

Randomly the game will ask you a bonus question which rewards a doubled point. After all the categories are finished the game will give you a final score, a grade average and, if deserving, an honorary diploma which you can print.</p>

<p>Fatal Challenge is a simple fighting game which takes place on an urban rooftop. The challengers Ken and Roc fight three rounds for seemingly a neverending number of levels. Both fighters are identical save for a grey vest and camo pants that Roc wears as opposed to Ken's skins and green pants get-up. Two players can face each other or one player can play the computer. The controls are fairly simplistic in that the player can jump, punch, move, and kick. Jumping kicks as well as throws are possible with the combination of right keys.</p>

<p>Heavily armored and armed space platforms are in need of obliteration. Hop into your megadestroyer and shoot down countless enemies, turrets, and command centers in <em>MegaDestroyer Frantis</em>.

<p>Although sounding similar to <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/snafu">Snafu</a> and hanging onto the element of a growing wall from that game <em>Gnafu</em> is more akin to <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/snake-games">Snake type</a> games. In this unlicensed clone, of the original C64 game by Hebdogiciel, you play a caterpillar that lives in an enclosed garden. In the garden are mushrooms and cherries.

<p>When starting a game, the target fields are empty, the main field consists of 7 piles or cards, whereby only the top one is visible, also in an ascending amount (left side one card, right side 7 cards), and the rest of the cards are in one pile at top left.</p>
<p>Cards can only be moved from one pile to another when putting a lower card of the opposite color on a higher card, when the pile is empty, kings can be placed there, and finally, when the target piles are empty, only aces can be put there (then twos on aces, etc.).</p>
<p>When all cards are sorted in the target piles, the player has won the game. If no more allowed moves are possible, the player has lost the game.</p>

</li>
<li>
<p>In Carom, the goal is to hit both the red ball and the opponent's ball on each turn. In the Cushion variations, the player has to bounce the ball from one or more of the cushions before striking the second ball;</p>
</li>
<li>

</li>
</ul>

<p>Takehito Nogawa is a young boy whose father is a wealthy businessman, owner of a powerful corporation. The boy is supposed to help his father and eventually become a true heir to him in business and management; instead, Takehito uses every opportunity to skip work and hang around the high school, where he engages in sexual escapades with two beautiful sisters. So the only real challenge for him is: which one of them does he like more?..</p>
<p>The game has a typical "Look - Think - Talk" menu during most scenes, and sexually-related commands during the numerous corresponding activities. There is also menu-based navigation, particularly around the school, to search for one of the sisters. The player must make some decisions from time to time, which might alter the course of the story, lock/unlock graphical sex scenes, and eventually lead to different endings.</p>

<p>Head on down to Australia and help solve a plethora of mysteries as an investigator in <em>Gumboots Australia</em>. This graphic adventure game plays like a somewhat managerial click and find type of game. </p>
<p>You start with almost no money and must travel from town to town looking for answers. Travelling isn't free of course so on the way you must do odd jobs to earn money to travel with car, bus, or airplane. Of course travelling with car or plane is the fastest but they're also the costliest. You've gotta take into account how much time you still have to solve the mystery otherwise you might have to ask your bosses for an extension. You have about eight chances to extend your deadline but each extension takes away a bonus point. Use your time wisely and accept jobs that pay the highest for the least amount of days to get to your destination. You should also remember to chart your travels accordingly, say if for example, you have to travel to capital cities so that you don't end up back-tracking and wasting time and money. </p>
<p>Once at your destination you can click investigate and search different locales for clues or answers. There are also random events that happen such as radio call-in shows where if you get the right answer you can earn some cash. Sometimes your actions can have dire consequences such as buying counterfeit goods or trying to help feral cats. These incidents can cost you money and or time to undo. Once the clues are all found you will collect a reward based on the time it took and the extensions you used up. Sometimes your job isn't just to solve mysteries however, on occasion you will just have to run some random errands for your bosses such as the mission that you get as a tutorial. </p>
<p>Other tools available to you on your quests are a notepad which generates important notes on its own and a database which you can use to search for keywords you think up of on your missions. The database can sometimes help you think of which locations could have the best leads.</p>

<p>Collect the fruit, avoid the snakes and creatures and try not to fall in any pitfalls in <em>Kid</em>. Stephan Vogler's straightforward platform game let's you play as the titular "Kid" and advance through a handful of levels while trying to survive the usual foes. Plan your path well because those blocks you keep busting with your head could lead to a safer path and an exit worth more points. You have three lives and no continues after a game over scenario but you will pick up exactly where you left off after each lost life. Getting hit once by enemies will do you in. A high score table is displayed at the end but you must score higher than 1000 points to end up on it.</p>

<p>Chess and destructive laser beams together at last! <em>Laser Chess</em>, which is a DOS version of the award winning original, for the most part plays like a regular chess game except that some pieces have been replaced by deflectors and a laser cannon. You move your pieces on the board as usual but have to place your deflectors in strategic positions all the while keeping an eye on your opponent doing the same thing during their turn. Turns are used up when you move a piece, rotate a piece or fire the laser. Once you feel a deflector is in the right place, unleash your laser and shoot the opposing players. Be careful though, because some pieces if rotated in the wrong direction will bounce the beam or split it in wrong directions and even worse can even bounce back at your laser cannon destroying it. Check mate means the game is done.</p>

<p><em>Mario Brothers VGA</em> is an unofficial remake of the classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7301/mario-bros/">Mario Bros.</a> game of the arcade in VGA 16 colors.</p>
<p>You control Mario who has to flip turtles coming out from two pipes at the top of the screen. The goal of the game is to defeat these turtles and score points by flipping them from underneath, not jumping on them. All gameplay is on one single screen, there are no scrolling levels like regular Mario games.</p>
<p>The registered version also allows a second player as Luigi.</p>

<p><em>Ancients 2: Approaching Evil</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/894/ancients-1-death-watch/">Ancients 1: Death Watch</a> with a new story not directly connected to its predecessor. A new evil has arisen from ancient catacombs and the player's task is to find four seals to contain it in these catacombs.</p>
<p>The party is created from six classes (warrior, rogue, priest, mage and the new paladin and ranger) and five races (human, elf, dwarf and the new half-elf and hobbit) and heads straight into the dungeon. The gameplay mechanics didn't change compared to the predecessor, there is still a main city which serves to buy equipment and heal up. </p>
<p>New is that not all dungeons are just in the city's underground, players also visit places like the wilderness or a wizard's tower. Combat is turn-based and character development is based on experience points.</p>

<p>The dark magician Amargol has stolen the magic golden shield from the Nargoot village. The player, as Arn, a courageous shepherd, must recover the shield before four days have passed. Otherwise the power of the shield will be taken by Amargol.</p>
<p><em>Sirwood</em> is a side-scrolling action game with a few adventure elements. Along three stages (the forest, the caves and the Amargol's castle), the player must destroy all the enemies and finally, recover the golden shield.</p>

<p><em>Loopy</em> is a pipe laying style puzzle game but instead of pipes you're laying down paths that a bomb follows. The objects of the game are to first gather all the fruit on the playing field and secondly to make your CPU opponent explode against a wall or barrier. Two types of tiles are laid down. The first is a cross allowing for horizontal or vertical movement while the second is a curved tile allowing for turns. The player selects a tile depending on the direction they press and the CPU lays down your path-tile in the same way. Once the CPU is blown up against a barrier or wall the player can advance. If the explosion happens during the player's turn then it's game over!</p>

<p>Up to four players can take turns trying to knock the pins down in this straightforward arcade style bowling game. <em>PCBOWL - Electron Lanes</em> gives you control over only the tail end of your roll where you get to use the directional up or down buttons to direct the path of your ball. The ball curves either gently or sharply depending on how long the direction is pressed and will knock down the pins in its path. Due to the simplicity of the program and the lack of pins bouncing around once struck it is impossible to pick up a split. The players also select at which speed the game runs in the beginning, individually or as a group, allowing for more precise control or faster games. Scores are kept by the computer and are displayed after each turn. The regular scoring rules of ten pin bowling apply to this game.</p>

<p>Norumbega was a peaceful land. But all is not well in Norumbega as, Fang Duck, the evil ruler of the Dark Quarter region decided to invade the rest of Norumbega. Fang Duck in his haste to fill the land with his duck minions overlooked the coastal home of Peach, our titular hero. Being the spryest land lobster in all of Norumbega, Peach, has been chosen by the leaders of the coastal town to take out Fang Duck and restore peace to the lands. Luckily for you Fang Duck expected no resistance!</p>
<p><em>Peach The Lobster</em> is an arcade platformer where you play the role of Peach. Peach the Lobster can jump around, and use his claw gun to hit enemies or monitors to release items like 1-up Lobsters, health-up shells and bonus points. Peach can also slide, run and duck under platforms and crevices. If your goal is a little higher than that well Peach can also double jump up there.</p>
<p>There are four regions that Peach will have to traverse. Grasslands is where the adventure begins. Filled with lush foliage, waterfalls and hills, Grasslands is the main territory in Norumbega. When you arrive in the region of Atland be wary of currents and underwater hazards as this region mysteriously sank under water a thousand years ago. The Norumbegan Caves is where you will find yourself after that. These torch-lit caverns lead up to windswept mountaintops and are the last stop before The Techno-Castle. This wannabe-technologic wonder fort is the Fang Duck's lair and home to his bevy of futuristic minions including laser turrets, and robotic duck henchmen. Of course this all leads up to a final confrontation with the boss duck himself, Fang Duck.</p>

<p>After <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/27978/ulises/">Ulises</a>, <em>Mythos</em> is the second game published by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1471/opera-soft-sa/">Opera Soft</a> based on the Greek mythology.</p>
<p><em>Mythos</em> is a side-scrolling action game. In the game the player controls an archer centaur called Ahyzar, who must recover the seven lost magic coins of his god Krosar. To accomplish this the player must go through the Olympus. With only three lives to find the coins the player must try to avoid or destroy, all the mythological creatures that cross Ahyzar's path.</p>

<p><em>Kicks</em> is a French <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3678/qix-variants/">Qix clone</a>. As in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=QIX">Qix</a> the player must "catch" a percentage of the game screen (70% in this case) to pass to the next level. Of course, the player must avoid, or capture, all the enemies that go through the game zone. There are three enemy types along the game: "Rollers", "Kicks" and "Suiveurs".</p>

<p><em>Rock'N Roller</em> is a game similar to the game <a href="/search/?q=Rally+X">Rally X</a>, in <em>Rock'N Roller</em> the player takes control of a buggy, that must find, in each of the 30 stages, the six parts of a prototype car, that are hidden in the stages. In each stage there are three enemy types: speed cars, armed jeeps, and a giant helicopter equipped with missiles. Additionally there are varied traps (like dangerous bridges, oil spots, mines, red semaphores, etc.) that must be avoided and a limited amount of fuel that must be taken into consideration.</p>

<p><em>Mushroom Mania</em> is a shoot 'em up that clones the <a href="/search/?q=Centipede">Centipede</a> game style. </p>
<p>The player must shoot at a giant centipede that moves down the playing field and can win additional points for shooting the mushrooms. The player must have care with the spiders, and with an indestructible enemy, the "hungry Pacperson".</p>

<p><em>AYSO Soccer '97</em> is a soccer game licensed by the American Youth Soccer Organization, a youth soccer league in the USA. Therefore, all players and teams of this game are still youths, a remarkable difference from other soccer games. Names of real teams and players were included in the game.</p>
<p>The game offers the possibility to play friendly matches, tournaments and season modes and also a player editor to change some of the players characteristics.</p>

<p><em>Zampabolas</em> is an unofficial conversion of the classic board game called <em>Hungry Hungry Hippos</em>. The game has only a multiplayer mode (2 to 4 players), and doesn't feature an AI computer player. Players can choose between 2 boards, and can play a 10, 20 or 30 ball game.</p>

<p>Take turns trying to place five stones in a row or, if that fails, capture five pairs of your opponents stones between your stones in the board game <em>Pente</em>. While Pente plays mostly like a clone of <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/five-in-a-row-gomoku-narabe-games">Gomoku or Five-In-A-Row</a> the main difference would have to be the capturing and avoiding capture of five pairs of stones. The stones are placed anywhere in an intersection on the board and lines can be made horizontally, vertically or diagonally to win or capture. The game options are to play against the computer or take turns playing against another player. There is also an option to adjust the colours of the game board and stones.</p>

<p><em>Mental Blocks</em> consists of three games:</p>
<p><em>Free Fall</em>, or <em>Fits and Pieces</em>, is a 3D version of <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>. Instead of forming a line, you must form a complete layer before it will disappear.</p>
<p><em>The California Achievement Cubes</em>, or <em>Mental Detector</em>, shows you a cube, and challenges you to figure out which of the four unfolded cubes matches the cube. The single-player version has a timer, while the two player version has you pick the proper cube first.</p>
<p><em>What's Next, Pussycat?</em>, or <em>Shapes Happen</em>, shows you three shapes, and asks you to pick the next shape in the series from a set of four choices. Again, you either face the timer or your friend.</p>

<p>How deep can you go? In <em>Pitfall</em> you manoeuvre your ship down a seemingly neverending shaft while avoiding the rock edges and disembodied faces. Use the left right keyboard keys to move your ship side-to-side and use the up and down arrows to slightly speed your ship up or slow it down. Hitting rock faces will take points off your hit-points but hitting those creepy floating faces will mean instant death. Your ASCII graphics ship has ten hit points to start with. Five additional points are rewarded as you manoeuvre further down deeper into the shaft every three thousand points. Occasionally you will find a floating star in the depths which will reward you a bonus of two hundred points. There are no multiple attempts down the shaft. Each destroyed ship means you must start all over again.</p>

<p><em>Metal Rage: Defender of the Earth</em> is a shooting game in which the player controls a tank inside city environments. The game is completely in 3D, and both an inside and an outside view are offered.</p>
<p>The tank can carry multiple weapons (shells, missiles, mines, drones) which can be used against the various enemies like police cars, helicopters, assault tanks and turrets. It's also necessary to collect items and key cards that deactivate force fields.</p>

<p>The player plays a prisoner imprisoned after a plan to incite a revolt was discovered by the aliens. However your ambition to resist the aliens remains...</p>
<p>Hell to Pay includes new graphics for several player weapons and bad guys to turn them into aliens or alien machines.</p>
<p>It is considered by many to be a "sister" product to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=+Perdition's+Gate"> Perdition's Gate</a>, a Doom II: Hell on Earth level set released by WizardWorks and Wraith Corporation at the same time.</p>

<p>In <em>Desperado 2</em>, the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14515/gunsmoke/">Gun.Smoke</a>, the player is Marshall James, a sheriff sent by the State of Texas to restore order to the corrupt and violent town of Devil Stone.</p>
<p>The game is divided into two parts. The first one is a side-scrolling run'n gun game in the style of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6693/sunset-riders/">Sunset Riders</a>. The second part is set in a saloon, and is a first-person shooting game like the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/5607/lethal-enforcers-series/">Lethal Enforcers games</a>.</p>

<p><em>Wumpus II</em> is an updated version of <a href="/search/?q=Hunt+the+Wumpus">Hunt the Wumpus</a>. Gameplay is the same as the original; however, several new cave options are available.</p>
<p>The goal of the game is to shoot a mythical creature known as the wumpus with an arrow. The player explores a cave containing 20 rooms, several bottomless pits, bats, and the wumpus. The game will provide clues which the player needs to use to figure out the layout of the cave. For example, if the game indicates there is a breeze then one (or more) of the adjacent rooms contains a pit, or if there is a wumpus smell then the wumpus is nearby. On each turn the player can either move to another room or shoot an arrow; entering a room which contains either a pit or the wumpus ends the game. Occasionally bats are encountered, which may carry the player off to another room randomly.</p>
<p>Where <em>Wumpus II</em> varies from the original game is the availability of more intricate cave layouts; the following choices are available:
1. Dodecahedron.
2. Mobius strip.
3. String of beads.
4. Hex network.
5. Dendrite with degeneracies.
6. One way lattice.
7. Build your own cave.</p>
<p>The first three caves are normal caves; each room has three tunnels connecting to other rooms and each tunnel allows two way traffic. The other caves are irregular; some have one way tunnels, tunnels that connect back to the same room, or other variations.</p>

<p><em>Wurm</em> is a Dutch adaption of the famous <a href="/search/?q=Snake+games">Snake games</a>.</p>
<p>The player controls a little worm named Wally that is constantly and swiftly moving through a room that spawns all kinds of tasty fruits. By guiding the worm left and right the player has to collect the fruits, just to accumulate points and see the creature grow bigger with every catch. While doing so Wally has to avoid trying to eat the walls of the room or its own tail, because eating something wrong will result in the loss of one of his five lives. From time to time there will be moving butterflies spawning that will restore a live once eaten, the player can even acquire more than the five starting lives. Goal of the game is to accumulate as many points as possible to earn a place in the integrated high score list.</p>
<p>So much for the basics, <em>Wurm</em>'s gameplay doesn't stay as simple as it first appears. Once the worm's tail has reached a certain length it will suddenly fall off the animal, creating a new non-eatable obstacle in the process. Later on, evil red worms will appear that are either just randomly moving around the screen or are trying to eat the tasty fruits before the player's worm, also growing and losing their tails when successful too often. Next will be flushes of water flooding through the room casting away the creature's valuable food. Then spiders will rope down using their spider silk and creating even more obstacles, flowers growing out of the ground need to be avoided, and so forth.</p>

<p><em>Super Star Trek</em> is an adaptation of the Star Trek mainframe game from the 1970's and features similar gameplay. As captain of the Starship Enterprise, the player's mission is to destroy the Klingon battle force (usually consisting of around 17 battle cruisers). There is a time limit for this mission which needs to be completed by a specified stardate. </p>
<p>The galaxy is broken up into 8 quadrants, with each quadrant containing 8 sectors. When the game begins a varying number of Klingons, friendly starbases, and stars are randomly placed. On each turn, the player needs to enter a command for the Enterprise. There are 15 commands available, which include firing phasers or torpedoes, viewing short or long range scanners, damage control, shields, setting a course, and engaging the warp drive. In this version of the game commands are entered by typing a number from 0-14; if necessary, the game will prompt for any additional data for the selected command (such as setting a warp factor or selecting a course).</p>
<p>By using the scanners, the player needs to locate the Klingons and guide the Enterprise to those locations and destroy them. Phasers and torpedoes are available for attacking; phasers do not need to be aimed but are less powerful (especially as distance from the target increases). Torpedoes need to be carefully aimed at the target allowing the possibility of missing, however they incur more damage. After each turn, the Klingons are able to attack the player as well as move throughout the sector. The Enterprise is equipped with shields to reduce damage, however they need to be lowered before the player is able to fire on the Klingons. If needed, the player can repair or refuel the Enterprise by visiting a starbase.</p>

<p><em>Spinout</em> is a clone of the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> and features similar gameplay. At the top of the screen are four rows of bricks; the goal is to remove all of the bricks by hitting them with a bouncing ball. The player controls a paddle at the bottom of the screen which is used to deflect the ball. The game begins with five balls, and if a ball makes it past the paddle it is lost. The game ends when all bricks are successfully destroyed or all five balls are lost.</p>

<p><em>Capture the Enemy Space Ship</em> is a strategy game for one player. The players goal is to capture an enemy battle vessel without destroying it. The game takes place in an 8x8 grid; somewhere in the grid the enemy is hiding. To capture the enemy, all of the spaces around it need to be destroyed. On each turn the player can fire a phasor shot at one space in the grid which destroys it. The enemy moves every turn; while the last known position is known, its current location is unknown so there is a good chance the enemy will be destroyed if you aren't careful. The player begins the game with 25 shots; occasionally the enemy will attack which drains energy causing a few shots to be lost. The game is lost if the enemy is accidentally destroyed or is still not captured when shots run out.</p>

<p>A plague of Space snakes wants to reconquer the Mars Planet. In the role of a brave spaceship pilot, part of the defence line of the planet, the player must resist the attack of ten hordes of this violent monsters. Each horde is stronger than the previous one. The player has only 5 spaceships to vanquish the attack of the space snakes.</p>
<p>The gameplay is very simple. Our ship only can move in the horizontal axis (like "Galaxian"), and player must destroy all the Space Snakes, while avoiding the enemy assaults.</p>

<p>"F-1" is an unofficial Formula 1 racing game. You must compete along the Formula 1 season (16 circuits included). There are three game modes: Practise, Race (Single race) &amp; Complete season. </p>
<p>Before each race, you can modify aspects like tires, transmission (manual or automatic), the number of laps or the difficulty level (between three levels).</p>
<p>During the race, if you have problems, you have the option to stop at the boxes to repair your car.</p>

<p>Strange happenings are afoot once again in Sweethaven and only Popeye can make it right. In <em>Popeye 2</em>, our spinach lovin' hero must once again rescue Olive Oyl and make mincemeat of Bluto while looking after Swee'Pea, feeding Wimpy and keeping an eye on Jeep.</p>
<p>Popeye has four different levels to traverse through. His initial adventure takes him to a construction site where bouncing springs, falling girders and open welding flames impede his progress. Rolling barrels, and bombs which must be touched to be put out also stand to cause harm. In every level scattered hamburgers must be collected in order for Popeye to get past Wimpy who is often hanging out somewhere near the top of every vertically scrolling platform level. There are also feats of strength that Popeye must perform by beating up a punching robot-type thing with the aid of Spinach. Once past all these obstacles Popeye can move on to the next level.</p>
<p>The second level takes Popeye into the urban jungle where he must climb the side of the Biff Spinach building and avoid the same obstacles as in the previous levels. In the third level falling girders are replaced with giant bananas as Popeye finds himself in a jungle. Coconut throwing monkeys hang from ledges and snoozing tigers and snakes decorate the trees. The fourth and final level of the game finds Popeye climbing the masts of the S.S. Trev and the S.S. Andy as he makes his way to a final confrontation with Bluto and rescue Olive Oyl.</p>
<p>Popeye is able to jump around and occasionally when the situation calls for it punch his way through this vertical platformer. Bonus points are rewarded for finding Swee'Pea and Jeep. He can take multiple hits before he takes a curtain call but thankfully is unharmed by long drops. The player should beware as Popeye has only one life to get through the four levels of this adventure.</p>

<p><em>Snaker</em> is a Swedish adaption of the classical concept of <a href="/search/?q=snake+games">snake games</a>.</p>
<p>The player uses the arrow keys to control a green snake that is constantly moving through a scrolling labyrinth. The snake has a certain amount of strength at its disposal that decreases by movement and will immediately kill the snake when run out. This strength can be refilled by eating apples (spawning one after another) and pears (spawning randomly) in the labyrinth, but the hook is that eating such fruits will grow the snake, thus making it harder to navigate through the sometimes narrow corridors, because hitting its own tail will also end the game as will hitting a wall. If the player manages to eat enough apples, the level exit will open and allow access to the next floor of the labyrinth. Eating pears will refill the strength meter to full power and yield 800 points.</p>
<p>The goal of <em>Snaker</em> is to accumulate enough points to make it into the integrated high score list. Points can be earned by eating fruits and finishing a level with as much remaining strength as possible.</p>

<p><em>Xonix</em> is a version of the arcade game <a href="/search/?q=QIX">QIX</a>. The objective of the game is to draw rectangles in the space that occupies the main section of the screen while you avoid the enemies, both in the margins and on the drawable section, which can kill you on contact. Filling a percentage of the drawable area grants the player access to the following level.</p>

<p>This is clearly a game written as an exercise, the author explicitly stating he used it to learn to program in Borland C, but unlike most such "hello, world" prototypes (ostensibly the first in a series of "RoachCrunch" exercise-games, but the only one ever seen), it remains nonetheless a complete game.</p>
<p>The tropes are familiar: royalty have lost valuable items and require their return, while exploration is thwarted with colour-coded locks -- can the player find or trade items for the quest objects and progress through the disjointed story via accessing more remote map areas? Instead of playing it straight with a poker face while mangling "thee"s and "thou"s, however, the author has strewn the game landscape with his high-school friends and titans of '90s industrial music.</p>
<p>Gameplay consists of navigating a roguelike-ish top-down text-symbol map, seemingly a reel cut from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=LORD+2">LORD 2</a>, using the keyboard arrows and a handful of verbs (at least, the first letters of the verbs) to interact with the world. There is no combat, though there are a couple of sudden deaths and walking-dead situations.</p>

<p>You play Tipi, a young warrior who lost his (future) wife to the mighty red dragon who rules the land. To bring that terrible reign to and end Tipi decides to kill the dragon. However before you finally reach the dragon you first have to pass six levels, each one with an own setting and a level boss. In a typical Jump'n'Run style you have to jump from platform to platform and fight the numerous enemies with your sword. Fortunately you won't die immediately if an enemy touches you, instead you have a life bar which can be refilled by jumping over various food items scattered around in the world.</p>
<p>Each level contains doors in various colors which can only be opened when you have found the matching key for it. Those keys are that important that the number of keys already found is always shown in the upper right corner.</p>
<p>The game has no savegame or password system, so you have to start all over again if you lost all your lives or restart the game.</p>

<p><em>Pinball Dreams Deluxe</em> contains 8 tables.</p>
<p>The 4 tables from the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/703/pinball-dreams/">Pinball Dreams</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ignition</li>
<li>Steel Wheel</li>
<li>Beat Box</li>
<li>Nightmare</li>
</ul>
<p>The 4 tables from the sequel <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2105/pinball-dreams-ii/">Pinball Dreams II</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Neptune</li>
<li>Safari</li>
<li>Revenge of the Robot Warriors</li>
<li>Stall Turn</li>
</ul>
<p>More than a compilation, this enhanced version has a new Hi-Res graphic mode (640x350), showing almost 2/3 of a table on the screen, so scrolling is limited.</p>
<p>Each table is presented in a pre-rendered 3D cinematic.
It also contains a 'History of the Pinball': The evolution of the game of pinball from the 1960's to 1993 through about 50 tables from the main manufacturers.</p>

<p><em>RS-2</em> is a side scrolling shooter, single player, with power-ups and large end-level bosses. Each level (or "act" as the game calls them) starts with a picture foreshadowing the end-boss ship.</p>
<p>Power-ups come in the form of yellow balls with a letter in them, which appear when the player shoots jukebox-shaped enemies. The letter K is halve moons, B is target-seeking fireballs, S is scatter shot and L is laser beams (plaid laser beams).</p>
<p>At the start of the game, the first two power-ups will equip the player's ship with two pods, after that the player can get the different weapons. Picking up a power-up changes weapons of the dual pods. Unlike other shooter games, picking up more of the same power-up type does not make the player's weapon stronger.</p>
<p>There are no extra lives or continues, the player only has one health bar making it a difficult game to beat. Flying through enemies or geting hit by bullets decreases health, and when all health is gone the player's ship crashes and it's game over.</p>
<p>The game is mainly a matter of remembering enemy patterns and memorizing when and where the enemies will appear. The movement patterns of the end bosses seem to be deliberately designed to deceive the player the first time he encounters them. For example, at one point the first boss will move up in a way that the player thinks he has to fly underneath it, at which point the boss will suddenly stomp down.</p>

In each level there are terminal, with an operating system like DOS (referred to as "REXOS"), with which you can use some commands (DIR, HELP, CLS ...), read clues on how to find the exit, or play simple 2D games like "Starblazer", a clone of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a>.</p>
<p>This is the only chapter published independently: the other two (<em>Rex Blade: The Battle Rages On</em> and <em>Rex Blade: The Final Encounter</em>) were included in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6400/rex-blade-the-apocalypse/">Rex Blade: The Apocalypse</a> compilation. Xtreme Games has also published another compilation named Domination, with the same games but different titles: Domination Episode I - First Contact (as shareware), Domination Episode II - Netherworld Hell and Domination Episode III - The Final Conflict.</p>

<p>This is a two-game compilation that features the following two <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/3076/eakids/">EA*Kids</a> games:* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/32377/scooters-magic-castle/">Scooter's Magic Castle</a></p>

<p>Commercial Othello simulator with ASCII graphics. The objective, as always in a Othello game, is to capture more opponent pieces than the other player.</p>
<p>There aren't a lot of options to configure the game. The player can select only, if he wants to play versus the computer or versus another player, and if he want to do the first move.</p>
<p>During the game, the player must type the row and the column where he wants to make the move.</p>

<p><em>World Cup 90</em> is a soccer game capitalizing the event of World Cup of 1990 in Italy. All the national teams participating at the event are included; however, due to the lack of a license, the players' names are fictional. The player can create custom teams (name, tactics and color of the jersey) and change the team's roster. Multiplayer features two players mode (1 vs. 1 or 2 vs. CPU), and through additional interface, it is possible to add other two players.</p>

<p>"PC Basket 3.0" is the third instalment of the "PC Basket" saga, a series of inexpensive managerial / basketball simulators that <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Dinamic+Multimedia">Dinamic Multimedia</a> sold through newsagents throughout the 1990s.</p>
<p>It offers an updated (as of 1995) database of Spanish basketball teams and an improved version of their basketball simulator. The most attractive game mode, though, is playing a whole season as the president of any of the teams, and controlling aspects such as the hiring of new players.</p>

<p><em>IF</em> contains four scenarios, which are unrelated to each other and can be accessed directly from the main menu:* The first scenario stars a 19-year-old young man who accidentally makes a wish and summons a cute-looking female demon, who is ready to serve his "master"... in various ways, including what you just thought.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>This scenario is sub-titled <em>Triangle</em>, and is dedicated to a high-school student who has a rather uneasy relationship with the girl he likes. One day he meets a female childhood friend, which further complicates his love life...</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Set in medieval (feudal) Japan, the scenario tells the story of a young man who is on his way to the capital city, to study martial arts by a famous teacher. He gets sick and has to stay in a mountain village. Soon he notices that strange things begin to happen there, and has to find a way to release a woman from a curse that was placed on her.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The last scenario is set in a small village that lies deep in a forest, in a fictional country, and focuses on a young boy named Indy. He fancies the daughter of the village elder; one day she is kidnapped by strangers, and Indy swears to rescue her.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>All the scenarios have the gameplay of a visual novel: the player reads the vast amount of text that accompanies the pictures, choosing actions or dialogue choices from time to time. The first two scenarios feature branching story and Game Over moments; the two others develop in a linear fashion and have only one ending.</p>

<p><em>IF 2</em> contains three separate scenarios (as opposed to four of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/47913/if/"> previous game</a>); they are numbered 5, 6, and 7 (continuing the count from the first <em>IF</em>), but have no relation story-wise either to the preceding scenarios or each other.* "Scenario 5" is a rare example of "mainstream" <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=hentai">eroge</a> which deals with a male homosexual relationship. The adult content here is text-only; there are no graphics that depict explicit sex. The hero of the game is a young man who lives together with his boyfriend. A girl who works with him in the company seems fancy him, and the protagonist has to deal with her advances and his partner's jealousy, questioning his own orientation in progress.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>This scenario has a branching story line; the premise is that the hero, a college student, is desperate to find a date. The episode is dedicated only to one day of the hero's life; during this day, he must locate and convince a girl to have a date with him. Depending on the player's choices, the story develops in various different directions from there.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The final, "seventh" scenario stars a female protagonist, a high-school student named Kumi. One night she dreams of her male classmate having a romantic relationship with her. Upon arriving in the school, however, she sees another girl obviously trying to seduce the man of her dreams. Will she be able to reclaim him for herself - and if so, by what means?..</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The gameplay in <em>IF 2</em> is similar to that of the previous game, though the branching story line concept is somewhat deeper and more complicated. There are more choices to make, and they have a more significant impact on the development on the story. Particularly the second episode is notable for being more open-ended, but also unforgiving and leading to premature endings if the player doesn't choose the right things to do and/or to say.</p>

<p>Like its predecessors in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/9346/if-series/"> series</a>, <em>IF 3</em> contains three scenarios, which are unrelated to each other story-wise and can be played directly from the main menu:<em> The first episode, sub-titled </em>Will for Suicide*, is indeed about that: a person who tries to commit suicide. The scenario can be played in two different ways, from the point of view of either a male or female protagonist. reasons and circumstances of the suicide can also be chosen by the player. The scenario involves supernatural forces that change the fate of the heroes; however, the specific narrative is defined by the player.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>This episode is called <em>Like a Magic Woman</em>; the heroine is a beautiful young woman, contemplating about her future career and desire for money; at that moment, she is hit by a truck. Miraculously, she survives the accident, and is granted the magic ability of shape-shifting.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The final episode is entitled <em>Eday &amp; Magy</em> (<em>sic</em>), which are the misspelled names "Eddie" and "Maggie". The setting is a fictional city in the USA called "Autumn City"; it is being governed by the powerful Chief Anderson, enjoying an era of stability and peace. But a criminal organization targets Eddie, a young half-Japanese police officer, and he receives the assignment to bring the villains to justice.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The gameplay is visual novel-style; while the second and the third episodes feature few choices and the story develops more linearly (though some choices do influence the narrative as well), the first episode is more open-ended, also containing several premature endings that should be avoided.</p>

<p>The Century Parody is a powerful battleship on its way to the trade station Samar. Shooting out of the KGD Star System in the year 3656 and into the Quila System you will land on to the mysterious trade station and along with your android companion Kayla uncover an ancient mystery.</p>
<p><em>Cosmic Soldier: Psychic War</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/51212/cosmic-soldier/"> Cosmic Soldier</a>. Like the first game, it is a "dungeon-crawling" RPG where you control your character as he explores the many levels of Samar, encounters Psychic soldiers and fights in mental battles. Unlike the first game, the battles here are action-based, requiring quick reaction and timing. When encountering an enemy character you can shoot him or her with your mind beam and hopefully beat them. You will find clues and objects on your adventure which you can question Kayla with. You can use different psychic powers to fight, explore and defend yourself. Along the way you can also find allies that will want you join you on your quest and you will be able to use these characters as well in your battles.</p>

<p>This straight-forward <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/centipede-variants">Centipede clone</a> uses ASCII graphics in its presentation. You are able to move your base up, down, left, and right to shoot missiles at an oncoming megapede. </p>
<p>The megapede will use grow pills on the field to get even bigger and will use the edges of the screen and bunkers to make its way further down the screen towards you. Once the megapede touches you it's game over. Grow pills can be destroyed with ten shots while each segment of the megapede takes only one. Bunkers will also take ten shots to destroy as they will speed up the descent of the megapede and interfere with your shots. </p>
<p>Be wary also of the spider which scampers across the screen depositing grow pills as his touch is also lethal to your base. The player has only one life to show his or her merits. A high score table shows the high scores for the game at the end.</p>

<p>This is the fourth instalment in the "PC Basket" series by Dinamic Multimedia. As its predecessors, "PC Basket 4.0" combines a team database with a basket simulator, and it allows the player to browse through the updated (as of 1996) team database, to play a managerial simulation as the owner / coach of any of the teams or just to play a basketball match.</p>
<p>Apart from the updated database, this fourth game in the series offers 800x600 graphic resolution (only for the basketball simulation), 32 new teams and the possibility to play the European League. Also, in the simulation mode, the referees are visible throughout the game and new movements are possible, such as passing the ball to players behind you.</p>

<p>"PC Basket" is the first game of the "PC Basket" series, a saga of budget prized games that blend a database of the Spanish basketball teams of the era and a basketball simulator.</p>
<p>Since this is the first in the series, it is the most limited in scope. The team database only includes 8 teams, their internal data (statistics, player names) corresponding to the 1993 league, and the basketball simulator is almost bare bones.</p>
<p>In fact, when using the simulator the player is limited to "shouting" a couple of instructions to the players, such as "pass the ball" or "try to score", something that the game proudly calls "coach mode".</p>

<p>David's Kong is a Donkey Kong clone. The game consists of two parts, both played in the same level layout.</p>
<p>First, you have to climb to the top to rescue your girlfriend while a gorilla throws barrels that roll down the ramps. When you get to the top, the gorilla throws one barrel down the middle of the platforms. This creates extra gaps in the platforms you will have to jump across. Also, a house appears at the bottom of the screen. In the second part, you have to carry your girlfriend down to the house. This time, flaming barrels move up the ramps and the gorilla throws flaming barrels aimed directly at you, in a straight line.</p>
<p>The player can move left and right or up and down ladders with the cursor keys and jump by pressing F1. But when holding down a cursor key the player character doesn't move smoothly, so in order to manoeuvre quickly enough to avoid the barrels, you have to keep tapping the cursor keys. Also, if you jump while standing on a ladder it's instant death.</p>
<p>The game was programmed in GW-BASIC by an unknown author, and distributed as a compiled executable.</p>

<p>"Speed Zone" is a vertically scrolling shoot'em up with a classic style.</p>
<p>The player, who flies a latest-generation spacecraft, must destroy all the alien hordes who want to destroy the space federation. The spaceship has a shield with a limited amount of energy. This energy protects the ship from the alien craft's shots. When the energy shield has reached its limit, the player loses one of three lives.</p>

<p>Looks like someone has gone and abandoned some poor astronauts on a desolate planet again. It's your job to swoop them up and bring 'em home in <em>Meteor Mission</em>. In this fixed perspective arcade game you control the rocket ship as it drops from the mother-ship. You will direct the rocket with your boosters and make a soft landing on the surface. As you land on the pad you will automatically pick up an astronaut. </p>
<p>The second part of your mission will come where you must guide the rocket back into the mother-ship. All the while avoiding meteors floating about the screen. On your ascent you will thankfully have a laser gun running that you can shoot form the nose of your ship but on the descents you will just have to be nimble fingered. Rescuing all your astronauts will advance you to the next level where you will have to deal with even more meteors but you'll also get upgraded fire-power!</p>

<p><em>Scrabble</em> is a licensed version of the popular <a href="/search/?q=Spear's+Games">Spear's </a> game developed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/587/us-gold-ltd/">U.S. Gold Ltd.</a> </p>
<p>Scrabble is a word game for 2 - 4 players. 
It is played by forming interlocking words, cross-word style, on a Scrabble playing board. The Scrabble board is a grid on which there are bonus squares, playing a letter on one of these squares doubles or triples the score for either the letter or the entire word.
Players have seven letters, or tiles, each and at the end of each turn, they take new letters from a pile, unseen, to replace the letters used. </p>
<p>This game has the following features:* multi-player game<br>
 2, 3, or 4 players can play the game together. Players can be human or computer controlled.</p>
<ul>
<li>sound effects and music.</li>
<li>a practice mode.<br>
This mode of play enables the following features:<ul>
<li>no time limit,</li>
<li>a hint mode where the game shows the best move with the letters at the players disposal,</li>
<li>an advice feature which, after the player has taken their turn, shows how many higher scoring moves could have been made,</li>
<li>the option to see what tiles remain unplayed,</li>
<li>a peek facility that allows the player to see other player's tiles,</li>
<li>if an illegal word is played it will not be allowed but the player will not lose their turn,* a competition mode.  </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>In this mode, each player has 25 minutes in which to play all of their game moves and for each minute over that limit, the player is fined 10 points.  </p>
<p>The 'hint' and 'advice' features of the practice session are not available and the 'unused letters' option will show only the number of letters and not a full breakdown of the tiles remaining. If it is the players move then the timer cannot be stopped, and the game cannot be saved and re-loaded.  </p>
<p>Only game scores achieved in competition mode will be entered into the 'Top Scores' table.</p>
<p>This game is based on the Chambers English Dictionary and the Official Scrabble Words books current at the time of release.</p>

<p>This is an individual release of the "Deep Sea" table from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/263/epic-pinball/">Epic Pinball</a>. This table is based around a deep sea diver. As you play the table, timed missions come up, which are completable by hitting the correct target on the table and give large bonuses. For example, deal with a shark attack by dropping the ball into the air pocket hole.</p>

<p>Three puzzles comprise this collection, each variable in complexity:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9518/satori/">Satori</a>: Expert Edition</li>
<li>Expert Picture Puzzle</li>
<li>3D-Maze: Expert Edition</li>
</ul>
<p>Satori: Expert Edition does not have any discernible differences from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9518/satori/">Satori</a>.</p>
<p>Expert Picture Puzzle allows the player to choose one of three PCX files to split into pieces and reassemble. Between 25- and 256-piece puzzles can be created, and presumably other PCX files of the correct size could be used. Pieces can be all laid out from the start and swapped by clicking on them, or taken out of the "box" and placed one at a time.</p>
<p>3D-Maze: Expert Edition puts the player in the challenging position of being inside a randomly generated maze. Maze size can be varied from 4x4 (16 positions) to any dimensions allowing up to 6,400 positions (such as 80x80). There is always just one path out. A compass is offered, telling you which way is north, and at each step you are told whether you are closer or further from the exit. This proximity, however, is "as the crow flies," not necessarily as you will need to move. Most helpful are markers which can be dropped to tell you when your sense of <em>deja vu</em> is justified. Lest these markers make it too easy, 1-9 maze monsters wander the maze and clean up any markers they come across. When they come across you, they put you back in the center of the maze where you started. Finding the treasure hidden in the maze will make you immune to one encounter with a maze monster.</p>
<p>3D-Maze offers a novice mode which allows the player to look at the map on the screen or even print it. A clock ticks away the seconds so you can log your best times, with allowances made for different rendering times on different computers. Up to nine players can compete in the same maze, hot-seat style. PC speaker sounds lend a little multimedia to this otherwise silent collection.</p>

<p>This release of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/657/simcity-2000/">SimCity 2000</a> includes the add-on <a href="/search/?q=SimCity+2000+Scenarios+Vol.+I:+Great+Disasters">SimCity 2000 Scenarios Vol. I: Great Disasters</a>.</p>

<p><em>The Politically Incorrect Adventures of Gewt Ningrich</em> is a satirical sidescrolling beat'em up. You play as Gewt Ningrich, who is racked with allegations of corruption, needs to invigorate his party, and raise cash to stay in power. To earn that cash Gewt has to kill polar bears, environmentalists and other conservative enemies. His ultimate goal is to get rid of his most hated enemy, President Clint Billton, so that his conservative revolution will finally be complete.</p>

<p><em>Legends of Future Past</em> was one of the earliest commercial text-based massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), originally offered through Sprintnet, the CompuServe dial-up network, and later the Internet.</p>
<p>The game introduced one of the first (if not the first) crafting systems in an MMORPG. Players could harvest resources including ores, herbs, and skins, then use them to make weapons, armor, and enchanted items. The game system was skill-based; players were not constrained to pre-made class archetypes. There were no level caps and some very dedicated players attained levels in the hundreds.</p>
<p>Set in the Shattered Realms, a world featuring a blend of fantasy and ancient technology, most of the action in the game revolved around the city of Fayd, which served as the hub of activity for adventures, intrigue, and role-playing events. Some of the races included: aelfen (an elf-like species), drakin (a race of dragon-men that ultimately resulted in player-created languages and cultural institutions), ephemerals (a wraith-like species that could not be harmed unless the player chose to manifest themselves), highlander (think dwarves), humans (the only people who could utilize ancient technology), murg (a proud warrior race), mechanoids (artificial beings), and wolflings (a race of shapechangers).</p>

<p>Jack Martin is a private detective. Long time ago, a terrible accident has left deep scars on his psyche, and he tries to atone for what he has done. On board of the space shuttle Gold Mary, Jack joins an organization that fights interstellar terrorism, employing people with psychic abilities. Soon thereafter, the captain of the shuttle is found murdered. Have terrorists infiltrated the shuttle, or is one of Jack's comrades a double agent? Jack must solve the mystery, at the same time discovering his own special abilities... whatever they might be.</p>
<p><em>Jack: Haitoku no Megami</em> consists mainly of still pictures accompanied by text. The interaction is very sparse, and is confined to periodical decision-making. The choices the player makes do not influence the story line much, which remains mostly linear. However, certain scenes become unlocked depending on the decisions the player has made.</p>
<p>The game has scenes with nudity and explicit sexual situations.</p>

<p><em>pac32K</em> is another Pac-Man clone, but coded not to overcome the 32 Kb of memory boundary, hence the name.</p>
<p>There are three major differences with the original: </p>
<ul>
<li>Three ghosts instead of of four;</li>
<li>The labyrinth, which is quite horizontal;</li>
<li>The color of the pellets is no longer yellow and changes color as the player passes on them. Blue pellets must be eaten once, green pellets twice, and red pellets three times.</li>
</ul>
<p>The game offers the other usual bonuses such as energizing pellets, oranges, and so on. The player's score is kept in memory thanks to a high score table, created as a separate file as you run the program the first time. Even if the program fits in 32Kb, it features both music and sounds.</p>

<p>The game is a word guessing game similar to Hangman. On each round of the game the player has to find the hidden word by guessing its letters.</p>
<p>In this game the hanged man is replaced by a face.  Every time the player guesses a letter which is not included in the word, a piece of the face is revealed. Once the player has reached the maximum amount of wrong guesses, the entire face is revealed with a sad expression and the player loses points. Afterwards, the player may choose to repeat the challenge, display the hidden word, or continue to another word challenge.</p>
<p>If the player successfully guesses the word, the face is revealed with a happy expression and the player gains additional points.</p>

<p><em>Wing Nuts: Battle in the Sky</em> is an action-oriented flight game set during World War I. The player takes the role of a young pilot whose airplane base is attacked by Germans coming out of nowhere. He has to find the source of these attacks by shooting all German planes he encounters. The story is told through live-action cutscenes. </p>
<p>The gameplay almost completely consists of flying through the six levels and shooting German airplanes. On two occasions, the player has to use bombs to destroy a balloon and a bridge.</p>

<p>A dearth plagues the villages at the hillside of the elevated plain in the middle of the region Amajambere located in Ubuntaka, Africa. The harvest is getting worse and worse due to heavy rains washing away the fertile earth and the sun withering down the crops during the growth-periods. To prevent the people from abandoning their villages and emigrate to the capital city Majikitoyo located 90 kilometers away, the Federal Republic of Germany and the government Ubuntaka started a project. Basically the idea is to teach the farmers about multi-level plant cultivation in order to better preserve their land and increase the quality of the harvest for generations to come. After his predecessor got badly injured, Paul Lerche from the Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung is send to the village Mihanatoke to oversee the project which is still met with much resistance by many farmers. In addition seed-theft hinders the villagers from planting anything at all.</p>
<p>Gameplay-wise <em>Hilfe für Amajambere</em> is a serious but traditional point and click adventure. The player takes over the control of Paul Lerche trying to convince the villagers about the good the project will do and at the same time solve the problem of the seed-thefts. Using the mouse, the player visits the different locations and looks at, takes or combines items he finds in the game-world in order to solve the many riddles in the game and move the story forward. Since the game is an educational software aimed at children and young adults it is however also very dialogue heavy. </p>
<p>Together with Paul's entries in his journal, the dialogues are used as the core way to educate the player on why multi-level plant cultivation is important, why the people are resistant, what the unique challenges are they have to deal with in such regions every day and many other lessons about Africa. While they are often multiple-choice, most of the time if the "wrong" answer is chosen, the game automatically also goes through all the other options in order to convey its message and advance the story.</p>

<p>The CD-ROM release of <a href="/search/?q=Secret+Weapons+of+the+Luftwaffe">Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe</a> includes the main game and its four Tour of Duty add-ons:</p>

<p><em>Operation Harrier</em> is an action game starring Britain's famous VTOL aircraft. It uses an enhanced version of the <em>Rotoscape</em> system first used in Creative Materials' earlier <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1433/rotox/">Rotox</a>: the own plane is seen from the top and when steering left or right the polygonally rendered background rotates around it. A new addition is the ability to change altitude. </p>
<p>The game consists of several missions, each with a specific goal like destroying an enemy cruiser or power plant or defending an airfield from enemy fighters. Before a mission, the Harrier can be armed with a variety of weapons, including air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles as well as two types of bombs. Standard armament is a forward-firing cannon with unlimited ammunition. A radar screen and a map help finding the enemy during a mission. Fuel is limited, but in some missions in-air refueling is possible. While the Harrier can survive a few hits, it can also be repaired (and refueled) after mission's end. Sometimes it is also possible to make a mid-mission resupply landing at a friendly base.</p>

<p><em>Eddy &amp; Co</em> is a commercial game which advertises Eismann, a German distributor for deep-frozen food. The game stars the eponymous Eddy and his three friends Trixi, Johnny, and Bonny (the company's mascots at the time of the game's development) who must save Eismann world from evil monsters.</p>
<p>The game itself is a classic side-scrolling platformer. The player walks through the level and must defeat a boss at the end of it to open the exit. The player can control all four characters. The player starts controlling Eddy but at every save point in the level they can switch to any other character as often as they like. Eddy and his friends each have different properties in terms of speed, health points. and how high they can jump. Enemies are defeated by jumping on them, but a power-up enables a character to throw snow balls for a short time.</p>

<p><em>Kong's Revenge</em> is an action game based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Donkey+Kong-e">Donkey Kong</a>. It is divided into two parts.</p>
<p>In the first part, the player must climb to the top of five buildings and must defeat one of Kong's minions on each one. Throughout the level, the player must avoid barrels and fire balls, and activate levers to move platforms. </p>
<p>The second part, which can only be accessed when the first one is completed, is a simple side-scrolling run 'n' gun game. While still avoiding barrels and other objects, the player must shoot at enemies. Finally, they have to defeat Kong and save the girl.</p>

<p>In <em>HaMavoch</em> (<em>The Maze</em>), the player has to navigate through different mazes and reach the dragon located at the centre. The game supports up to five players. Each player's score is determined by the amount of steps taken to reach the goal.</p>

<p>In <em>Autocrash</em> the player competes in a death tournament between "bumper cars". The goal is to dismount the opponent (or opponents) from his car, and hit him before he leaves the game zone.</p>
<p>Along the stages, the enemy's A.I. difficulty level and his number will increase. Additionally, in some stages the enemies must be eliminated in a certain order.</p>

<p><em>Mémorise</em> is a memory game advertised for children aged three to eight. The goal is to memorise a board of six objects along a determined amount of time (more or less according to the difficulty level selected) and then place these objects in the correct position on a empty board. The player can select the length of the game (from 3 to 24 boards to play) and the difficulty level (between six levels).</p>

<p><em>VC</em> (Viet Cong) is a distinctive simulation which puts the player in a position to manage both military pacification forces and the public civilian political climate. Your task is to manage a Province with ARV (Army of the Republic of South Vietnam) forces along with U.S. Air Calvary and U.S. Field Artillery Battalions. The NVA (North Vietnamese Army) and VC controlled by the computer will make this guerrilla/terrorist warfare difficult and try to turn the civilian population against you. Your goal will be to destroy all enemy forces while preventing half of the civilians you are here to protect from joining forces with the NVA and VC. This must be accomplished in turn based fashion of one week per turn.</p>

<p><em>The Miser's House</em> is a text adventure in which the player explores the Miser's House. The game is low on text and features relatively simple puzzles which makes it accessible to first time adventurers.

<p>Classical <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=shuihuzhuan"> Chinese literature</a> comes to life in this game (the title can be translated as <em>The Liangshan Heroes of Water Margin</em>), following the dramatic tale of deceit, exile, and vengeance for protagonist Lin Chong, in side-scrolling, beat-em-up gameplay. With support for up to three players, companions Lu Zhishen, Jin, and Yang Zhi are ready to assist in the fight against the villainous Gao Qiu.</p>

<p><em>E.S.S. (European Space Simulator)</em> challenges the player to manage a space shuttle trip starting with 200,000 coins in cash. Successful actions will lead to an increase of the cash, while unsuccessful and preparation actions will lead to its decrease.</p>
<p>Set in the future, events of the game start on New Year's day 2010 with a preparation phase, when the player allocates fuel and energy for the trip, assigns scientific and technical crew members, takes part of orbital station and satellites. The shuttle has limited space to carry and the player needs to choose the equipment and crew wisely. Every effort costs a certain amount of money. </p>
<p>After the shuttle is prepared, it is launched and set to orbit around Earth. It is possible to build and manage a space station docking with it and send up and maintain satellites. It is also possible to take the role of an astronaut and exit the shuttle to outer space in a EVA suit. Control of the shuttle and the astronaut in space is performed from a first-person perspective.</p>
<p>After all research were made, shuttle has to be landed on a "shuttle carrier". It is performed manually from a third-person behind-the-shuttle perspective. Invalid landing will also cost money.</p>
<p>Game is localized to English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. It has a sequel: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7733/ess-mega/">E.S.S Mega</a>.</p>

<p>This educational title aims to test your knowledge of the geography of the USA as a game. The country is shown as a map with all the states. It is possible to practice first to study the state names and the names of their capitals before playing the game</p>

Starting in the "start state", the player has to type in the name of the next state to visit. The trip should be finished in time (optionally). Incorrect names of states exhaust the available time. The trip itself also deducts time, taking into account time zones, night stops, and the time needed to travel. If the player reaches the end state in time, the thematic picture of this state is shown.</p>

<p><em>Draw Poker</em> is standard poker in the context of common U.S. card games where each player is dealt a five card hand and then can decide if they would like to place a bet on the first round or check (pass). The player in the game is against four other players all controlled by the computer with the names of Lucky, Shifty, Ace and Slim.</p>
<p>Players will be dealt five cards from a shuffled deck. All players ante $5 to the pot. Starting as in many poker games the first round requires that to open you must have a pair of Jack’s or higher to start the betting. Then each player in betting rounds hopes to build a better hand by replacing or "drawing" cards as needed. Each player begins the game with $2,000 dollars.</p>

<p>The game showcases the African part of the 12th Paris-Dakar rally route officially sponsored by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/2025/tomahawk/">Tomahawk</a>. Unlike the previous Paris-Dakar simulation, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/31969/african-raiders-01/">African Raiders-01</a>, in this game the car is controlled directly from the cockpit. The drivers are visible, but the perspective is more 1st person than 3rd person.</p>
<p>Starting in Tripoli (Lybie), the player races against computer drivers on six stages, visiting checkpoints located in Tumu (Lybie), N'Djamena (Tchad), Niamey (Niger), Néma (Mauritanie), Kayes (Mali), and Dakar (Senegal). The road is marked by rocks on its sides on most stages, and the player should keep his car on the road. If the player misses a road, he has a limited amount of time to find it again, otherwise he will be penalized. On the second and fourth stages there is no road from the start, and the player must reach the finish on his own. The off-road environment is full of rocks, animal corpses, and other debris. The player should not damage the car too much, otherwise he will be penalized as well. When a checkpoint is reached, a thematic animation sequence is shown for relaxation purposes.</p>
<p>There are three difficulty levels to select from before the start of rally.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Turkeys</em> is a single player shooting game.</p>
<p>The game contains eight similar mini games in which the the player controls a gun that can be moved left / right across the bottom of the screen. It can also be moved up and down the screen to a very limited extent. The objective in all the games is to shoot turkeys as they descend from the top of the screen to the bottom.</p>
<p>The eight sub-games available are :* Turkey Runs : There are ten lanes running horizontally across the screen and turkeys run left / right within these lanes. When a turkey has completed one pass across the screen it will descend to the lane below and cross back. Points are scored for every turkey shot and 100 points are lost for every turkey that completes a successful pass on the lowest run (number ten)</p>
<ul>
<li>Mad Turkeys : The turkeys descend randomly from the top of the screen and if one manages to land on the gun the game is over</li>
<li>Turkey Invaders : Aliens have trained the turkeys to fly in formation and shoot back. Actually the turkeys join together to form a solid 'bar' and the player shoots holes in the formation. On the lower levels of difficulty they don't shoot back very much. </li>
<li>Turkey Toro : Here the game is played against a lone turkey that moves very fast back and forth across the screen descending as it does so. At some point in its travels it dives towards the gun, usually at a slight angle that makes hitting it that bit harder.</li>
<li>Turkey Waves : This is a mass attack by the turkeys. There are more of them on-screen than can possibly be shot. The player must shoot as many as possible while avoiding any contact with the ones that get to the bottom of the screen</li>
<li>Invisible Turkeys : The same as Turkey Waves, above, only most of the turkeys are invisible most of the time</li>
<li>Turkey Torpedoes : This game is the same as Turkey Runs, above, but here the turkeys "throw the only natural offensive weapons they have at you". These weapons look like brown bricks, they've got to mean eggs haven't they?</li>
<li>Turkey Corral : Another Turkey Runs variant but here the turkeys have guns which they shoot randomly downwards. As with Turkey Invaders there's not much shooting back on the lower levels of difficulty.</li>
</ul>
<p>The player can select from nine levels of difficulty on each game and on most the player can select how long they want the game to last. The game keeps a separate hi-score table for each sub game.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Egg</em> is a single player game in which the player takes the roll of a falling egg.</p>
<p>The story behind the game is that a bird drops an egg. The egg falls down a chasm and the player, taking the role of the egg, must try and survive for as long as possible by moving left / right and up / down.  </p>
<p>On the way down the chasm narrows to very small gaps before expanding again. Bits of rock break off from the wall and these must be avoided and there are bad guys who try to zap the egg as it passes.</p>
<p>The game has nine levels of difficulty and a hi-score table, points are scored for the length of time the egg survives.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Starball</em>  is a single player shooting game with a difference.</p>
<p>The player takes the role of a death star. Their star automatically fires anti particles up / down, left / right. whenever these particles hit another star in the star field that star is destroyed and points are gained.</p>
<p>The player can move their star using the numeric keypad. If the player elects to move, say, upwards then if there is another star directly above then the star the player controls becomes that other star. If there is no star directly above then the star the player controls moves upwards one position. By jumping around the screen in this manner the player can ensure that their star is always surrounded by stars to kill.</p>
<p>Aside from stars re-forming within the star field, the curved nature of space is a further complication. In this game it means that antiparticles fired off the edge of the screen in one direction can come back on the other side. The players star is, of course, vulnerable to their own fire.</p>
<p>The game has nine levels of difficulty and maintains a high score table for each level.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Hyperdrive</em> is a single player DOS game.</p>
<p>In this game the player controls a star ship and must navigate through a hyper maze. The player starts in the bottom right hand corner of the maze and must navigate through to a gap in the game's border that's over in the top left corner.</p>
<p>The ship is controlled by the numeric keypad and can move up / down, left / right. The maze is very congested and it is hard to find a way through. Fortunately the ship has a supply of missiles with which the obstacles can be removed.<br>
Unfortunately new obstacles appear at random around the screen so a clear path can sometimes become blocked. Additionally some obstacles reflect the missiles back onto the ship and destroy it. The numeric keypad cannot move the ship when it is faced with a returning missile but there is a 'get out of jail' key and that's F10 - the 'Panic Reverse' button. This will take the ship part of the way back along its current track and if its turned at least one corner recently then the missile will sail past.</p>
<p>When the player completes a level they are treated to an animated hyper drive acceleration &amp; deceleration sequence before starting the next level. The whole game comprises nine levels.</p>

<p><em>The Curse of Ra</em> is a puzzle game where the player (Scarab) has to escape a pyramid by solving the riddles. The player needs to remove all stones on a board by finding a counterpart. Only two stones with the same symbol can be removed at a time and they have to be on a straight line, horizontally or vertically. The game starts with Scarab on an ankh and that item has to be returned upon completion. Moving a stone is done by sitting on one and moving it towards the counterpart. Not all stones can be moved however and there are teleporters, obstructions and diversions to make it more difficult. There are also traps and for instance ice that forces Scarab to move in a single direction. When the stones are aligned, pressing fire matches them and they disappear.</p>
<p>The game can be played in a Logic or in an Arcade mode. Logic mode offers 100 levels with no time limit. Special stones can make the player’s life easier or harder. In Arcade mode the player has to complete a level within a certain amount of time. Special coins can be used to buy extras after each level, such as ability to fly for 30 seconds, more time, extra lives and others. Levels are generated at random. The Arcade mode has a high score table. Demo mode shows the usage of all the different stones found in the game. This is a sort of non-playable tutorial. The game also provides a level editor.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Gorilla Ball Gotcha</em> is a single player DOS game.</p>
<p>The player takes on the role of a gorilla ball wallflower at gorilla ball dance. Being a wallflower the player naturally discourages potential dance partners by giving out 'bad vibes'. The object of the game is to get caught by other gorilla balls .</p>
<p>The player's character gives out bad vibes, which in any other game would be classed as bullets, along eight axes; up, down, left and right and at forty-five degrees in between. Potential gorilla partners appear randomly on the screen and track towards the player who must try to make contact with them while not 'shooting' them with bad vibes. The game could be described as the opposite of a shoot-'em up. Instead of aiming a gun and trying to hit opponents, the player is trying to get close to others without hurting them while, at the same time, spraying 'bullets' all over the screen.</p>
<p>The player starts the game with 10,000 points and loses points steadily. Every time a potential gorilla ball partner is hit by bad vibes another hundred points are lost. </p>
<p>At the end of the game the gorilla balls do a little dance. The game ends either when the player has been caught ten times, in which case there will be a positive score, or when all points have been lost, in which case the points score will be zero and the length of time played will determine whether the player has a high enough score to get onto the high score table.</p>
<p>The game has nine difficulty levels and the game records the top ten scores for each level.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Gorilla Ball Tag</em> is a single player DOS game.</p>

The player's gorilla ball must avoid being caught by either the chasing gorilla ball or any of the other gorilla balls on screen because any contact with them ends the game. The player must also avoid any contact with any wall, or obstacle on the screen and with the game's border because that too ends the game.</p>
<p>The player's gorilla ball is entirely controlled by the keyboard and once they start to move in a given direction they will continue to move in that direction until steered else where. The points total builds the longer the player survives. The object is to survive until the chasing gorilla ball has caught all the other gorilla balls and thus build a high score.</p>
<p>The game has nine levels of difficulty and records the top ten high scores for each difficulty level.</p>

<p>Three star systems lie unusually close to Renzaar and peaceful diplomatic and trading relations have been established with two of them, the Alpha system and the Ordan system. The remaining system is Creendok which remains a mystery. The closest planet to Creendok is Regulus, this is surrounded by a dense belt of asteroids capable of destroying a ship but which are too small to detect.  </p>
<p>Life in this part of the galaxy is generally peaceful. Trade between the three systems flourishes and the basic rule of the galaxy is : don't bother anyone, and they in turn won't bother you.<br>

<p>Ships can be flown manually or by the computer and as a ships crew gains experience they will be able to make repairs faster as well as do better in battle.</p>

<p><em>Skull Quest I: The Cyan Sarcophagus</em> is a single player, shareware, dungeon crawl game for DOS.</p>
<p>Two hundred years ago the player served Lord Trentarus who was a good man. To ensure his reign continued he had his mages build a sarcophagus out of pure wizidrium. By becoming one with this magical device Lord Trentarus would ensure his continued victories over his enemies for eternity. Thus was the Cyan Sarcophagus, the most powerful magical device ever known, constructed.</p>
<p>In addition Lord Trentarus had a large crypt built and he left orders that, upon his death he was to be placed in the sarcophagus and that it and his followers were to be sealed in the crypt.
The player takes the role of the soldier charged with the task of sealing the crypt and to guard its doors against grave robbers.</p>
<p>All has been well for two centuries but now there is a new threat and it is coming from within the tomb, within the sarcophagus! From somewhere a being, a thing that is neither a neither human nor demon, is using the sarcophagus to try to enter your world. Taking advantage of the weakness in the ethereal plane that exists around all grave sites, it has succeeded in sending some of its minions through. Soon it will attempt to come through itself!</p>
<p>The game starts with the player, a skeleton with little memory of who he has been, falling into the crypt. There he learns that many followers have perished or become unstable due to the boredom that the dead must endure. The player must negotiate the labyrinthine crypt, avoiding all the traps that were set for the grave robbers, and defeat the monster and its minions.</p>
<p>This game is entirely keyboard controlled.</p>

<p><em>Skull Quest II: The Vortex</em> is a single player, shareware, DOS dungeon crawl game.</p>
<p>The basic story behind this game is identical to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/50561/skull-quest-i-the-cyan-sarcophagus/">Skull Quest I: The Cyan Sarcophagus</a>. Two hundred years ago the player served Lord Trentarus who was a good man. To ensure his reign continued he had his mages build a sarcophagus out of pure wizidrium.

The player takes the role of the soldier charged with the task of sealing the crypt and to guard its doors against grave robbers.</p>
<p>After two centuries a being known as 'The Null Beast' took advantage of the weakness in the ethereal plane that exists around all grave sites and tried to break through into this world from another plane of existence. It was thwarted but it has not given up and now its back again.</p>
<p>As before the game starts with the player, a skeleton with little memory of who he has been, falling into the crypt. There he learns of the new peril from his old companion Skellion and sets out deeper into the crypt to vanquish the beast once and for all.</p>

<p><em>Denomino</em> is a single player, shareware, word building game for DOS.</p>
<p>In this game the player uses domino-like tiles to build words. Each tile contains two pairs of letters. The player makes words by positioning their tile next to an existing tile so that one or more four letter words are made. 
The game takes place on a twelve by twelve grid. Points are scored based on the values on the dominoes and whether the tile covers a bonus square. 
The game is entirely mouse controlled. Tiles are dragged &amp; dropped onto the game area. The right mouse button moves the tile in a vertical position while the left rotates the tile 90 degrees so that it can be dropped in its horizontal position.</p>
<p>There are three types of game available.* The solo game where the player plays by themselves to put a fixed number of tiles on the board.</p>
<ul>
<li>Playing against the computer to place a fixed number of tiles on the board</li>

<p><em>Spider Run</em> is a single player, shareware game for DOS that has elements of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2112/pipe-dream/">Pipe Dream</a> in its game play.</p>
<p>The game takes place on a grid that's six cells deep and eight cells across with the corner cells unused. Into this grid are placed web elements. These are right angle bends, straight lines, or cross roads. The spider starts from a randomly placed green start cell and the player must extend the path from this cell by rotating the web elements in front of the spiders path.  </p>
<p>When the spider travels through a cell the cell turns solid blue and cannot be re-used. By ensuring that the spider has travelled twenty inches along its current path and then taking it off one edge of the screen and back onto the other side the player can reset most of the solid blue cells. This means that they can be used again to prolong the game and achieve a higher score. Some squares, when reset, are completely blank and these must be avoided as the game ends when the spider's path comes to an end.</p>
<p>Elements are rotated by clicking on them with the mouse, each click rotates the element through ninety degrees. Points are scored the longer the game lasts. Bonus points are scored by exceeding the specified target and by picking up flies along the way.</p>
<p>The game sets a minimum number of points for the player to achieve. Once that has been accomplished the player is able to advance to the next level. The shareware release had seven levels while the full release has thirty.</p>
<p>The game is entirely controlled via the mouse.</p>

<p><em>Teaching Tiles</em> is a shareware, educational, tile matching game for DOS.</p>
<p>The game is plated on a grid and the object is to reveal all the tiles. The player clicks on a cell and the tile is turned over revealing a colour, a letter, or a number etc depending on the game. The player then clicks on another cell and this turns over also revealing a colour, letter etc.   </p>
<p>If the two tiles do not match the game resets them to their un-revealed state and the player tries again.  </p>
<p>If the two tiles match they the player is rewarded with a message 'Well done' type of message and the tiles remain face up. The player then repeats the process until all matching pairs have been revealed.</p>
<p>There are four types of game on offer here;* Colours.  </p>
<p>A simple game where the player must match pairs of tiles containing the same colour. Each colour has its name written on the tile and this helps teach spelling and word recognition.</p>
<ul>
<li>Letters  </li>
</ul>
<p>In this game the player must match the upper case letter to the appropriate lower case letter</p>
<ul>
<li>Maths  </li>
</ul>
<p>Here the player can select from addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, addition and subtraction or a mixed set of problems. The player then selects a difficulty level. The game is to match the sum to the correct answer.</p>
<ul>
<li>Pictures  </li>
</ul>
<p>The player matches tiles with the same picture on them. There are no words on these tiles, just pictures.</p>
<p>Each game starts out with a grid that is 2 cells by 4 cells. When that has been completed the game advances to the next level which is 2 cells by 4 cells and so on through grids that are 4 x 4, 4 x 5, to the final level which is 5 x 6 after which the game reverts to a 2 x 4 grid. There is no High Score table and none of the games has a timer.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Silo</em> is a shareware, DOS, game that combines <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=+Missile+Command+variants"> Missile Command</a> style game play with a typing tutor.</p>
<p>The game has the player being in command of a missile base somewhere in Kansas. Missiles rain down missiles onto the player. Each missile has an associated number or letter which the player must identify and type in. The game then launches a rocket or fires a beam to intercept. </p>
<p>Points are awarded for each missile destroyed with bonus points being awarded for missiles destroyed at high altitude. The game ends when three missiles have landed.</p>
<p>The game has nine progressively more difficult levels and records the top ten high scores of each.</p>

<p><em>Big Math Attack!</em> is a shareware, single player, DOS, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/4030/missile-command-variants/">Missile Command</a> style of game that teaches maths, spelling and touch typing.</p>
<p>The game drops missiles from the sky one at a time. The player types in an answer and presses ENTER in response to which the game fires a missile. If the answer is correct the missile strikes home and the question disappears in an explosion, if the answer is incorrect the rocket misses and the player must try again.</p>
<p>There are four games built around this central theme. The games are * Maths  </p>
<p>The player is prompted to enter a difficulty level against the categories add, subtract, multiply, divide and mixed. The game then starts with sums like "15 + 28" dropping from the top of the screen. The player must type the answer 43 and press ENTER.</p>
<ul>
<li>Metrics  </li>
</ul>
<p>In this game the player must select from the categories Celsius, Length, Speed, Volume, and Weight. In all these categories the player is presented with a question to which they must reply lower, higher or equals  </p>
<p>Each kind of game starts with some helpful advice. For example when playing with the Volume questions the game advises that such as "1 pint = 0.5 liters, 1 quart = 1 liter, and 1 gallon = 3.8 liters".   </p>
<p>The game drops questions like "1 gal _ 2.0 liters" to which the player must respond by pressing the appropriate key. The game then fires the word LESS, Greater or EQUALS at the question instead of a missile.</p>
<ul>
<li>Spelling  </li>
</ul>
<p>Again the player sets a difficulty level at the start of the game. Words with a missing letter, eg "QU_NTITY", fall from the top of the screen. The player must press the key corresponding to the missing letter, which in this example would be an 'A'. The game then fires the letter at the word and, if its correct, the word explodes and the next one descends.</p>
<ul>
<li>Typing  </li>
</ul>
<p>In this game single letters, numbers and punctuation marks fall from the top of the screen. The player must press the corresponding key on the keyboard to destroy it.</p>
<p>All games use the same principle and play against the same background. At the start of each game the player is asked to set the game's difficulty level. Each game consists of fifty questions and the number of correct and incorrect answers are recorded to give an overall score and a recommended difficulty level for the next game. Towards the end of the game the questions fall faster and faster.</p>
<p>The game can be customised. Questions can be frozen, i.e. they pop onto the screen and do not descend, and the game's increase in speed towards the end of the level can be disabled.</p>

<p>The story behind the game starts with the Eharin, an ancient Elfin race, who created a magical artifact known as the Inovar. At that time in the Earth's history a terrible plague known as the Nagroma, swept the land at the start of winter killing every living thing it encountered. With the aid of the Inovar the Eharin were able to create a protective barrier that kept the plague at bay. However the barrier, the Cairnrue, did not just keep the plague at bay, it stopped everything, so every spring the Rite of Decairn had to be performed to allow rain to fall.</p>
<p>This rite has been performed for many years by Varwield Arthermin who has grown old and bitter. The last time he raised the Cairnrue, Arhermin tried to keep its power for himself. He was defeated by Kiron the Protector in a great battle during which a shard was split from the great stone of Inovar. Kiron took the stone and fled over the Adklaart Mire where, it is rumoured, he is now trapped by Arthermin's soldiers.</p>
<p>Arthermin kept the shard and used its power to create the Naslava, creatures from the Earth's core, to protect him. This brought him into conflict with Rimarlion, Daughter of the Earth, whom he defeated and turned to stone. Before her fall Rimarlion entrusted her sacred amulet to the Laryx people of Mount Hiakron who in turn entrusted it to Sunquat, Leader of the Eharin, People of the Light.</p>
<p>The player enters the game as Varwield Secunda, chosen by your people to serve under Arthermin as his apprentice. For years you have served him but now, as storm clouds gather and the rainfall is absorbed by the Cairnrue, the time has come for the Rite of Decairn to be performed and that task falls on your shoulders.</p>
<p><em>Shard of Inovar</em> a multi-platform, icon driven, text adventure game with graphics. It can be played with a keyboard or with a joystick.

This allows the player to select a person from their group without the need to spell all their names correctly every time.</p>

<p><em>Computer Baseball</em> is a game of both strategy and statistics. Managers manipulate pinch hitters, infield positions, relief pitchers and base runners. 28 major league teams are provided to choose from and data for new teams can be entered as well.</p>
<p>Starting the game, you have four options to choose from: playing a game against the computer, playing a two player game, entering data for a new team and reviewing or editing data in an existing team data file. The display screen will consist of a scoreboard, batter and pitcher status information, and a representation of the playing field. The bottom of the screen is used for inputs on actions being taken.</p>
<p>There are seven different defense actions to choose from: setting the infield position, setting the outfield position, how close to hold base runners, making pitching changes, making a defensive substitution, saving the current game status and how to pitch to the batter. Some of the defensive actions taken will branch out to further options to select. There are three different offense actions to choose from: selecting a base running strategy, putting in a pinch hitter and choosing how you want the batter to hit the ball. Selecting any three of the offense actions will branch out to further options to select. </p>
<p>Player injuries are possible during game play, which the computer will specify while also determining how long the player will be injured (in days). It is also possible for a player to be ejected from the game for arguing with the umpire. On the event of a player being injured or ejected, the computer will ask for a substitute player. If a pitcher throws too many innings in one game, he will begin to tire, and another pitcher must be warmed up. Bringing in a pitcher who isn't warmed up in the bullpen properly will reduce his effectiveness.</p>
<p>Before the game begins, you can stipulate which players and pitchers on each roster are unavailable for that game.</p>
<p>There is no functionality to save statistics or game results.</p>

For each wrong guess the player will lose a life; if three lives are lost, the game ends.

<p>There have seldom been stranger ways of recruiting people: When espionage fan Gunter Bunt takes part in a competition put on by his favourite magazine "Top + Secret", he unexpectedly gets the message that he is chosen and hired as an agent with "XXL authority", and gets some spy equipment and a mission. His assignment is to find the four Magic Squares - ancient Aztecan artifacts - and rescue a fellow agent who went M.I.A. in search of the artifacts.</p>
<p>Agent XXL is commercial game which advertises the German chocolate brand Ritter Sport. The game is a classical point and click adventure with cartoony graphics and an apparent influence from LucasArts titles. You control Gunter on his quest to retrieve the Magic Squares and the missing agent. The interface is quite similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Sam+%26+Max+Hit+the+Road">Sam &amp; Max</a> with full-screen graphics and the usual commands (look, take, use,...), which are chosen by clicking the right mouse button.</p>

<p>This clone of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a> is a freeware attempt to popularize this game on PC and Amiga, while it was originally released on Commodore C64 platform back in 1984 .</p>
<p>The game introduces VGA graphics and sound card support, but uses the caves developed for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">original Boulder Dash</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4633/boulder-dash-ii-rockfords-revenge/">Rockford's Revenge</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Boulder+Dash+Construction+Kit">C64 Boulder Dash Construction Kit</a> as well as other unofficials.</p>
<p>The game includes tools to edit new caves and convert X-BoulderDash files and C64 Boulder Dash Construction Kit files to Boulderoid format.</p>
<p>Because of pressure from the original makers of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a>, Boulderoid's developers have been forced to stop working on this project, leaving its last version to be 1.15. On April 10, 2000, they've been forced to take it off their site.</p>

<p>A computer version of Avalon Hill's board game, Facts in Five, this game challenges players to recall trivia by category and initial letter. The computer generates five categories (e.g. "Living Statesmen"), some with subcategories (e.g. "State Governors"), along with five letters. Players then try to recall names beginning with each letter which fit in the category and subcategory. After five minutes, brain-racking ends and scoring begins, weighted toward completing rows and columns.</p>
<p>The conversion to microprocessor enables over a thousand combinations of categories and subcategories, and many variations on the traditional board game play. Besides humbling solitaire, two players can compete for higher scores, taking turns between five-minute rounds and typing blind if desired. Even more can compete simultaneously in "party mode," using included score sheets to record their answers.</p>
<p>The playing screen comprises simply the list of categories and an accompanying grid of letters, which may be the same or different within each category. Players can navigate among the letters or be prompted randomly to enter each answer at the bottom. A game is made up of five rounds of five minutes, each with new choices, so you can recover from a particularly damaging set of categories or letters. Variations allow the categories to be pre-selected or even created by players. Since verification of correct answers (by vote or reference) is left to the players, the game is virtually unlimited by content.</p>

<p><em>'Nam 1965-1975</em> is a strategy game set during the Vietnam war. The player takes the role of both the President of the United States and the commander-in-chief, and the goal of the game is to prevent the South of Vietnam to fall in the hands of the Vietcong, managing its military resources and preventing the public opinion to reject the war. As President, the player has to manage the military resources, and as Commander in chief they can take direct decisions on the terrain, such as tactics or engaging enemies. </p>
<p>The game offers five different scenarios: Khe Sanh, Tet Offensive, 1975 offensive, Nixon and Johnson. The first three are some of the most decisive battles during the conflict, whereas choosing "Nixon" or "Johnson" changes the year (1964 or 1968) in which the player starts playing.</p>

<p>The game simulates <em>the 15 Puzzle</em>, a sliding puzzle that consists of numbered square tiles located on 4x4 board in random order with one tile missing. The object of the puzzle is to place the tiles in order by making sliding moves that use the empty space.</p>
<p>This game includes the pictures of naked women (originally found in <em>Playboy</em> magazine) in background of the board. When tile is placed in order, it is converted in part of picture, but it still can be moved. There are 8 levels in the game, and certain tiles can't be moved on the board with level increase.</p>
<p>The number of moves in counted, and the best scores are stored in hi-score table.</p>

<p><em>The Manager</em> is a variant of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6165/bundesliga-manager-professional/">Bundesliga Manager Professional</a>. It has the same gameplay and visuals, but features the English football (soccer) league instead of the German Bundesliga. Acting as the manager of a 3rd division team, it is your mission to negotiate with sponsors, hire or get rid of players and choose the best tactics to win every match and keep the club afloat. The right decisions can even get the club get promoted to the Premier League. The game includes a complete database of the 91-92 season of the English League.</p>

<p>The game simulates the 15 Puzzle, where the tiles are parts of a certain picture. These pictures are images of naked female celebrities (originally found in <em>Playboy</em> or similar magazines) or porno images of Smurfs. Square tiles are located on board in random order with one tile missing. The object of the puzzle is to place the tiles in order by making sliding moves that use the empty space.</p>
<p>There are 45 images in the game. The celebrities include Bo Derek, Brigitte Bardot, Brigitte Nielsen, Cindy Crawford, Madonna, La Toya Jackson, Victoria Principal, etc.</p>

<p><em>Decisive Battles of the American Civil War, Vol. 1</em> lets you take the place of commanding generals in six battles of the American Civil War: first Bull Run, Shiloh, second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville. In that role, players not only issue orders but take actions such as sleeping and determining their level of personal participation in the battle. Players also experience the inverse relationship of responsibility to control. Orders can <em>only</em> be issued to brigades near the mobile command center, and objectives set only at the division level, with some variation per historic orders of battle. Subordinates, who are rated by leadership and experience, will then adapt these orders to their view of the battle, to the point of taking actions quite different from their orders. Once they're out of communications range, players can only hope for sound judgement or miraculous foresight.</p>
<p>The result is a fast-paced simulation (one hour per turn) of important moments in Civil War history. In some battles, the player has just one or two opportunities to issue orders to a significant portion of the army. At a distance, the enemy is invisible, and intelligence on enemy units prior to engagement is limited to formations. Upon engagement, casualty counts and morale are the player's main focus. Players may override subordinate orders to pull nearby brigades into reserve, although one turn's hesitation can demonstrate how quickly a cohesive resource of men and artillery can become useless on the battlefield.</p>
<p>Two-thirds of the play screen are devoted to a scrollable map, supplemented by a printed map sheet showing all of the battlefields. The other third of the screen gives terrain and unit descriptions, battle reports, and terse command menus. Victory is determined by a tally of casualties and controlled objectives. Difficulty can be varied in a number of ways, most notably by toggling full communication and invisible movement. Two players may face-off in hot-seat mode, or a single player may face the computer or just observe the computer controlling both sides. The game manual describes in detail how combat effectiveness and other key calculations are made. Two design utilities allow what-if modifications of the included scenarios as well as creation of entirely new ones on custom maps and terrain.</p>

<p><em>Webster: The Word Game</em> is a word recognition game. The object of the game is to fill in the missing letters of an incomplete word. On each round a word will appear at the top of the screen with several letters missing. The word will slowly begin moving towards the bottom of the screen and along the bottom of the screen is the complete alphabet. The player needs to select the letters that are missing from the word before time runs out and the word reaches the bottom of the screen. Successfully completing a word earns points, but if the word reaches the bottom of the screen then the player loses a life. The game ends when all five lives are lost. There are several skill levels available which affect the time limit for each word and the complexity of the word. The game includes over 700 words of varying length and difficulty. Scoring in the game is based on how many correct/incorrect letters are selected and whether or not hints are utilized.</p>
<p>In addition to the alphabet at the bottom of the screen are several asterisks; these represent hints. If more than one missing letter remains the player can choose a hint to fill in a missing letter in exchange for less points when the word is solved. </p>
<p>On more difficult skill levels, a demon word will occasionally appear; demon words are more difficult and move very fast compared to the other words. If the player fails when a demon word appears a life is not lost, however hints are not available. Also, if a demon word is not solved then the solution will not be revealed to the player unlike normal words. On skill level 7 (the toughest) there are also challenge rounds which consist entirely of demon words; in this case failing a demon word does cost a life.</p>

Periodically an additional bonus item will appear in the maze which earns additional points if collected. The game features four different mazes, and each time a maze is cleared the speed and difficulty increase.</p>

<p><em>Operation Frog</em> is an educational title where players explore the inner body of a frog. You can choose between a male and female frog in the References section. There are two game modes: Dissect and Reconstruct. In Dissect mode, players have to cut open the frog's body and remove its organs; and in Reconstruct mode, players have to put the already removed organs back to the frog's body in the correct order. This game offers you scissors, a probe, a magnifying glass and tweezers - the necessary tools for your work. The scissors (not available in Reconstruct section) help you cut the frog's body and remove organs, the probe gives you hints of where to cut (in Dissect section) or which part to place first (in Reconstruct section), the magnifying glass gives you information about each organ, and the tweezers help you move the organs. You don't have to remove all the organs to see their information as you can look them up anytime at the Frog File Index section. You can also see the arrangement of the organs at the OptiFrog section. The game offers players a saving function.</p>

<p><em>Viz: The Game</em> is an action game where the players run through various scrolling environments. It is based on a British comic magazine <em>VIZ</em> which, like the game, features lots of crude humour and fart jokes. The player controls one of the 3 Viz characters - Johnny Fartpants, Buster Gonad, or Biffa Bacon. The race takes place in five different scrolling environments; country, town, building site, beach and a disco. During the race you have to dodge traps and other characters from the <em>VIZ</em> comics. There are also two mini-games for each character which include Pint Drinking, blowing up balloons with farts and Pancake Flattening.</p>

<p>A game of maze navigation, in which you race against time through random-generated labyrinths of varying difficulty levels.  Not only does the complexity of the mazes vary, but another level of challenge is added through changes in the size of your viewport - more difficult levels zoom it inwards, making for a progressively shrinking section seen at a time.</p>
<p>Quick navigation rewards you with accrued time bonuses for the next level; pebbles scattered through the labyrinth afford you points, as well as the option to drop them as landmarks - or to trade them in for a peek at the map.</p>

<p><em>Hanse</em> is a managerial strategy game set in the 14th century. The player takes the role of an ambitious citizen who wants to become the mayor of Lübeck. To reach this goal he has to get rich by trading with other cities of the Hanseatic League.</p>
<p>The basic gameplay principle is simple: shipping salt and exchanging it for other goods which then can be sold in Lübeck for a good price. This means the current salt price is the most important part when planning shipments (besides the weather). Of course the player also has to purchase and maintain other things, e.g. a trading station, ships and cannons. Alternatively the player can also participate in smuggling.</p>
<p>When using the game alone, the player competes against an AI opponent. He sometimes attacks the player's trading stations which results in a fight scene in which the player has to place his cannons so they destroy the attacking ships during the automatic attack phase. There are also other similar sequences and random occurrences like weddings or disasters that may force the player to react. The game is completely menu driven and offers multiplayer for up to six people.</p>

<p><em>Murder on the Atlantic</em> takes place on the Bourgogne, a big French ocean liner, in 1938. On board: various rich people along with spies which want to snare the new computer technology for their own needs. The player takes the role of a detective who has to solve two mysterious murders which took place on the Bourgogne.</p>
<p>The game is completely menu driven. The player chooses which part of the ship he wants to go next. Here he can examine the room or interrogate one of the 40 suspects. The player does not directly interact with the suspects, he only gets to read their statement. During the course of the game he also finds a decoder which can be used to decrypt messages. Puzzles consist of finding code words.</p>
<p>This part has no defined ending. When the player has puzzled together the solution - he also needs to use the many documents which are delivered with the game in physical form - he starts the second part of the game. Here he needs to answer a series of questions and, if they are correct, he wins.</p>

<p><em>The Three Musketeers</em> is a software conversion of the novel with the same name. The basic storyline involves a love affair between Anne of Austria, bride of the French king Louis XIII, and the Duke of Buckingham. Cardinal Richelieu wants to get her out of the way to ensure his own influence on the king. An opportunity arises when Anna sends a diamond necklace to the Duke as a token of love - exactly the necklace she is supposed to wear for an important ball... Now the three musketeers Athos, Portos and Aramis - accompanied by the newcomer D'Artagnan - need to get it back in time. The player takes the role of D'Artagnan.</p>
<p>The game plays mostly like a choose-your-own adventure game: the player reads verbose, written texts which are accompanied by static pictures. When it is decision time, the player gets presented with a few choices from which he needs to choose one, sometimes under time pressure. Only the correct choice proceeds the game. Sometimes the player needs to choose in which of the four cardinal directions he wants to walk, e.g. in a maze section.</p>

Championship Golf: The Great Courses of the World - Volume One: Pebble Beach

<p><em>Championship Golf: The Great Courses of the World - Volume I: Pebble Beach</em> is a golf game which features the American course Pebble Beach. For every hit the game shows a 3D and overhead view of the situation, so the player can plan the next steps accordingly. The golf game itself is menu driven: the player changes various parameters, e.g. the golf club, the direction, the golfer's position, the strength and if the ball is hit in the middle or an outer edge. According to those parameters the game calculates the hit, which even may result in a straight miss, and then the next planning phase starts. The player may play a championship with all 18 holes or a training round with a single hole.</p>

<p><em>Turn It II</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/33383/turn-it/">Turn It</a>. In this Shanghai variant the player has to remove the tiles with the same marks from the board until all the board is completely empty. The elimination of tiles is allowed if these tiles are projected on the same line with no other tiles in their projection path. There are a certain number of same items on each level. The player can mark the tiles, or cancel the action to change the decision. The dead-ends exist if the strategy of tiles elimination was incorrect. Games are time-limited and a certain number of 'next move' suggestions are available during gameplay.</p>

<p>This game is an adaption of the Chinese board game <em>Mahjong</em>. The basic playing principle (the game uses the official British rule set): the basic pool consists of 144 playing stones with different motives. Every player receives 14 out of them. With every turn, players remove one of the stones and other players can take them (but only if they can use it to shape certain patters with the stones already in their possession). The winning condition is to create the "Mah Jong" stone combination.</p>
<p><em>Colossus Mah Jong</em> is designed for one player (the AI controls the other three players) and offers various possibilities to adjust the game, like nine difficulty levels, hidden piles or a tournament mode. Two functions are for new players: the computer gives advice when reaching a complicated situation and there is a separate tutorial programme included.</p>

<p>As knight of the realm, King Littré the First entrust a mission to you to ensure that French is well written in all provinces of his kingdom. Indeed, a grammar book was written by enchanter Grévisse, but the machiavellian sorcerer Errare locked the enchanter in a maze, hid the grammar book in its treasure and cursed all the copyists, who make pages full of mistakes. Your mission is to rescue everyone, identify mistakes and destroy the wrong pages, save the copyists and find the 4 keys that will lead to treasure and grammar book.</p>
<p>Ingame, you must move your hero through the maze and enter the rooms that come to you to answer questions about French grammar or fight the minions of sorcerer Errare. Your moves are made between static displays in a third-person view or, more rarely, a first-person one. Each intersection results in a choice of a direction or action similarly to "a thrilling fantasy adventure in which YOU are the hero". Puzzles are based on multiple choice questions. You will gain some magic items and letters, but errors will lead to loss of hit points, which will make you more vulnerable in future battles. Encounters with the monsters take place suddenly and automatically, and only the comparison between your health and the one of your opponents will determine the winner of the fight. If defeated, you will die and have to restart the game from the beginning. After defeating Errare, your only chance to open treasure and free the grammar book is to find the correct password, so be sure to collect enough magic letters to reconstruct the password before starting the final fight!</p>

<p><em>Universe II</em> is the sequel to Omnitrend's highly complex space simulation <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23789/universe/">Universe</a>. It takes place 20 years after the original game. A second hyperspace booster has been found, so there is hope that communication with Earth will be re-established in the foreseeable future. Still, the situation in the Local Group is tense. Two rival governments have formed: The Federated Worlds and the United Democratic Planets. Currently, travel and trade between the two is ongoing, but everyone fears the tensions will lead to all-out war.</p>
<p>The player takes the role of an undercover operative for the Federated Worlds. Disguised as a free trader from Vromus Prime, they will have to earn a living for themselves, because the FW only gives out money or equipment for special missions.</p>
<p>As in the original game, there are many ways of spending one's time and earning credits in the Local Cluster. Trade, exploration, passenger or freight transport, mining, smuggling, bounty hunting or piracy are among the many options. </p>
<p>Several different ships are available for purchase, each suited to different tasks. Some may have more room for mining equipment or cargo, others for weapons systems. Ships are highly customizable, with dozens of different models available for the likes of FTL and sub-light drives, energy converters, bridge and crew modules, computers, medical and communications systems, life support, scanners and more. Each part varies in damage it can take, size required for installing, visibility factor (highly visible parts are more likely to be hit in an attack) and sophistication (highly sophisticated parts can only be serviced and repaired in special drydocks).</p>
<p>A ship also requires a crew, and this is one area where <em>Universe II</em> differs from its predecessor: crew management is now much more complex, and comparable to a role-playing game. Crew members have one of seven specialties: captain, astrogator, gunner, pilot, miner, marine and engineer. Specialists are required for most tasks - without a miner mining is impossible, marines are required for man-to-man combat, only engineers can repair the ship's systems, et cetera. Crew members gain experience automatically with time, but can also be trained at a technical school in exchange for the right number of credits. They must also be fed, paid and require sleep. Their salary increases with experience. If there is no pay day for a while, they leave, whereas a lack of provisions naturally leads to starvation. The sleep requirements are simulated by assigning crew members to a watch cycle. A process called asomnigenation can eliminate the need for sleep in astrogators and gunners.</p>
<p>Another difference from the original game is a more detailed simulation of combat: when boarding an enemy ship, the player's marines must now capture the bridge by either killing all enemy marines or capturing 30% of the control panels. When deploying assault capsules to mine from an unwilling planet, any defense stations must be destroyed first. These combat engagements take place on special tactical screens.</p>
<p>Another new feature comes into play when docking at a starport: these sections are played in the manner of text adventures, utilizing a text parser. The bases can be freely explored, characters can be talked to, and valuable items and clues be found.</p>
<p><em>Universe II</em> does away with the text-based interface of the original game, and (other for the text adventure parts) uses a menu-based window system not unlike the contemporary GEM or Macintosh interfaces.</p>

<p><em>Mystery of the Mummy</em> is set in the Hamburg of 1912 and the player takes the role of a detective. Along with his companion Wilhelm, he has to solve a case revolving around a mummy and its alleged curse. After one week, his superior will show up and only if the player can present his case (answering the questions correctly and having evidence) the game is won.</p>
<p>This game is an icon-driven adventure game based on actual detective work: most of the time is spent analyzing clues and talking to people. There are no traditional puzzles to be found besides figuring out which of the 186 locations to visit next (there is no linear progression and the player is free to choose the next steps) and how to convince people to help. However, the game includes various chores from real life, e.g. the need to sleep and eat or to fill up on gas. There is no special skill needed for those tasks, but they eat up money and time. </p>
<p>There are also two action-based minigames which involve driving and processing evidence in the lab.</p>

<p>In this two-player board game, players start from opposite ends of a board, filled with rectangular diamonds of seven different colors. Players select one of these colors by turns. As a result of selection, all diamonds of selected color adjacent to player's territory are annexed, expanding the borders. Chosen color is locked for the opponent for one turn. The winner is a player who first controls more than half of the terrain.</p>
<p>The game may be played against the computer or a human opponent. Board size and time limit may be adjusted.</p>
<p>The game was originally made in Russian, but later it was localized in English, enhanced, and released outside the U.S.S.R. as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11468/7-colors/">7 Colors</a> by <a href="/search/?q=Infogrames">Infogrames</a>.</p>

<p><em>Volleyball Simulator</em> is, probably not entirely surprising, a game about the sport volleyball. The game features full six-athlete teams and the original rule set with one playing mode: a single match, either against the AI or another player. However, there is room for customization with the tactics menu. Here players can set the defense and offense strategy and the position of every athlete.</p>

<p>Awakening at the bottom of a wet pit, a player must ascend a rope to the surface and negotiate with a troll in order to obtain access to a key unlocking the <em>very brief</em> game's conclusion.</p>
<p>(As the game was originally written as an MS-DOS batch file, the text parser is necessarily quite limited, as is the overall scope of the game.)</p>

<p><em>Memory</em> is a fairly simple memory game with ASCII graphics, from the same author and publisher that made the other board game with the same graphic style called <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Othello">Othello</a>. In Memory, the player has one objective, find all the pair of numbers or symbols (this can be selected at the beginning of the game), hidden in a 8x5 board, in the minimum number of tries.</p>
<p>Before the game begins, the program shows to the player the position of all the numbers/symbols for a short time (the player must select within this period of time, between 1 to 4 seconds). Memory has no other configuration options, and must be played by keyboard, introducing the number of the row and the column of the square that the player wants to see.</p>

<p><em>Mystery at the Museums</em> is the second in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/9750/adventures-with-edison/">Adventures with Edison</a> series. The game is sponsored by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/7878/smithsonian-institution/">Smithsonian Institution</a> and allows the player to visit different museums.</p>
<p>A detective agency is searching for missing treasures. They've been misplaced or hidden in museums. Accompanied by Edison, a happy little fellow, the players visits the museums and must solve various puzzles. Puzzle types include: match two or three hidden pictures of a kind, slide the tiles to compose the picture, falling block puzzle, match the constellation from a selection, etc. The answers are fulfilled with additional educational information.</p>
<p>There are game sessions of different difficulties for childen in the age category 6-13+. Finding all the treasures in a session places the winner in the High Scores table. The looks of Edison may be adjusted. The game session progress is saved / loaded for each game profile.</p>

<p><em>Cell Block A</em> is a two-player death match game set in a prison, there are several levels to pick from. As time goes on, the guards get bored and will throw down lead pipes, fire extinguishers and later if the players are lucky: a shotgun. Players can also kill each other by falling on each other's head or pushing the other onto the jagged iron beams on the bottom of the level. Game was bundled with its own level editor called Jailed.</p>

<p><em>Alpine Tram Ride</em> is an educational game designed to teach logic and problem solving. The game presents the player with a tram containing four cars; each car is occupied by one of ten animals, and the player's goal is to determine which animal is in which tram car. On each turn the player selects four animals and places them in the tram cars; the game will indicate whether any chosen animals are correct and if any are placed in the correct location. Since the game doesn't indicate which of the four chosen animals are correct the player needs to figure this out. The game ends when the player chooses the correct four animals and places them in the right location. The game keeps track of how many turns are taken, the goal is to solve the puzzle in as few turns as possible.</p>

<p>The invertebrate Willy has just finished his first adventure, and now it's time to go home to Mommy.

<p>The plot revolves around a certain studio that produces musical video clips. Accompanied by Edison, the player takes part in whole life-cycle of such a production. First of all, the rock band consisting of 4 members (solo, bass, drums, and chord) is created. Song is selected from a list or composed based on riffs and chords after that. Based on the song, the video is produced in means of three aspects such as camera view, background, and special effects. Song and video contains 16 cycles, and it is the player's task to customize them. When the video clip is completed, it may be viewed in the studio's theater or sent to another game profile. There are four pre-defined video clips created by Edison himself.</p>
<p>Before the video production takes place, numerous adjustments may be made as well as musical information may be gained. For example, it is possible to adjust the looks and sounds of each item in drum base, customize the looks of the scene for a band, adjust the sound f/x, etc. Guitar riffs with keys and chords may be examined and played. Musical instruments, their history and place in symphonic orchestra is provided. Musical pieces of eight famous composers may be performed with four different instruments.</p>

<p>In <em>Mayday Squad</em>, the Lutonian Embassy has been taken over by the Red Legion terror organisation and the ambassador's daughter has been kidnapped. The player takes the role of a group of three special agents which have to save her within a time limit. The player has to choose between nine soldiers which are divided into three categories: leader (shooting), demolition (grenades) and communication (opening locks and picking up items). The soldiers within the same category also have different advantages and weaknesses. Also chosen before starting the mission is the difficulty level and hit points of the team members.</p>
<p>During the game itself, one member is controlled by the player and the others by the AI. However, to perform special actions it is possible to instantly switch between them. This is needed because there are a lot of options how to proceed in the maze-like embassy, e.g. players may choose to open a lock or shoot it open. While a large portion of the game is dedicated to finding the way and searching for clues which hint to the daughter's location, there are also strong action elements: When meeting enemies and controlling the leader, the cursor has to be quickly moved over the opponents to shoot them before they can damage the team. Resources like ammo are limited.</p>

<p><em>California Pro Golf</em> is a golf game featuring two courses with 18 holes each. The hitting mechanics are similar to <a href="/search/?q=Leader+Board">Leader Board</a>. It is important to figure in the wind and to use the correct club which can be chosen out of 14. When hitting, the game is played in a 3D third-person perspective, but there is also an overhead map which can be used to get an overview of the course.</p>

<p>In <em>Knight Force</em>, the land Belloth, crossroad between five time periods, was conquered by the evil wizard Red Sabbath. And if that is not enough, he also kidnapped the princess. The player takes the role of a knight who has to set things right.</p>
<p>To do so, he needs to complete five levels which represent different time periods. The goal is not only to destroy the wizard clone which occupies the time period, but also to collect seven talismans which are in possession of the wizard's minions. Each collected talisman brings advantages to the hero but only work in the correct time period which may not correspond with the one it is found in. To put them to best use, the player can always pull out of a level and choose another. The challenges are platforming and melee sword-fights against various enemies. The player can perform eight combat moves.</p>

<p><em>Superleague Soccer</em> is a managerial soccer simulation in which the player is responsible for the athletic and financial success of a soccer team. As usually, most of the game is menu-based and consists of tinkering with adjusting screws. Examples for possible activities are the transfer market, athlete line-up or tactics. Each athlete has a data sheet in which information like statistics, value or the career can be checked. A speciality is the match presentation: besides watching just the highlights, the player may also choose to see the whole match. Then individual instructions to each athlete can be given: when the player clicks on an athlete, he stands still until the player clicks on the place he should go.</p>

<p>Bandits attack a quiet village and kidnap a female magician. The two bravest local warriors are quite unable to protect their homeland by themselves, so they seek the help of a wandering adventurer named Ray. Ray agrees to rescue the girl and teams up with other heroes, each with his or her own motivation for the battle. Eventually, seven heroes travel together on a quest to stop a dangerous person who has forgotten his heritage in search for power.</p>
<p><em>Nana Eiyū Monogatari</em> is a tactical role-playing game. The gameplay system is very simple: the player navigates up to seven heroes over the battle field in a turn-based fashion. Each character possesses one type of attack (melee or ranged); in addition, a few characters can cast basic magic spells. Characters level up automatically after having performed a set number of attacks. There is no inventory or equipment in the game. Some of the cutscenes are erotically-themed.</p>

<p>The kingdoms of Clarence and Garla are at war with each other. The priestess Mirelia leads a group of children refugees through a forest, and is attacked by Garlan troops. Guy, a Garlan officer, doubts the methods of his superior, general Neston, and helps Mirelia and the kids escape. On their way they meet other heroes who are willing to protect the children and together resist the Garlan invasion.</p>
<p><em>Nana Eiyū Monogatari II</em> is not directly connected to its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/54076/nana-eiyu-monogatari/">predecessor</a> story-wise, but has a nearly identical gameplay system: the game consists out of a series of tactical battles, with characters leveling up in a RPG fashion after a set number of attacks. Like in the previous game, the system is very simple, without inventory, equipment, or multiple attacks available. The sequel has more battles and more diverse goals, which often involve more than simply eliminating all the enemies and require the player to protect children from being harmed, rescue innocent people, pursue fleeing enemies, etc.</p>

<p>In <em>Fire!</em> the player mans an advanced helicopter and tries to solve some of humanity's problems by shooting at them. The game consists of five thematically unrelated levels which consist of two stages each, e.g. in one mission the player has to destroy drug plants in South America and another one requires to deal with terrorists at sea. </p>
<p>Regarding gameplay, this is a traditional, horizontally scrolling shooter: the player moves from left to right while shooting everything which moves. Shields and fuel are limited and if one reaches zero, the one and only life is lost. However, they can be refilled with power ups which are left behind from killed enemies. The standard gun can be either aimed straight or slightly downwards, but by picking up the correct power ups the weapon system can be upgraded.</p>

<p><em>Logo</em> features three independent puzzle games with 120 levels each. The main motivational factor are digitized, more or less naked women that appear between levels. All levels have to be solved within a time limit and a password is given once every five levels. In game one and three, all moves can be undone.</p>
<p>In the first game, the player needs to recreate a stone combination shown in the lower part of the screen. To do so, he places a single stone on the playfield. However, each stone also has a value between one and four which needs to be matched. Every time a stone is placed besides another stone, the value of the stone already on the field rises by one. If the value was already four, it resets to one. </p>
<p>In the second game, a pre-defined stone combination has to be erased. To do so, the player clicks on a stone which then disappears. But the stones around the clicked stone (left, right, above and below) also disappear. If there is no stone on a clicked place or a place around it, one is created.</p>
<p>In the third game, the goal is the same as in game two. However, only two stones of the same value and colour can be taken from the playfield. The value of the stones around a taken stone rises by one.</p>

<p><em>Tennis Cup</em> is a split-screen tennis game with the camera closely positioned at the athlete's back. The available playing modes are exhibition match (either single or double), training, the Davis Cup or the four Grand Slam tournaments. The player either controls one of the 32 available tennis athletes or creates a new one. Then there are 30 points to divide between abilities (e.g. forehand or volleys). This athlete can be saved to disk and further improved during the course of time.
For exhibition matches, the opponent can be built the same way.</p>
<p>The game includes various hit types, depending on the player's position and timing. The direction of the ball can also be influenced when performing a shot. There are four different surfaces, influencing the gameplay, and three difficulty levels.</p>

<p>In <em>Window Wizard</em> the player takes the role of Willy, the window cleaner. Willy has a big job: cleaning the windows of a house with multiple floors. The goal of each level is to clean every window while avoiding death. Cleaning a window takes a few seconds.</p>
<p>But he can only work on windows which are closed and the residents like to look out of the window - in this case Willy uses a horn to chase them away. He also needs to look out for and dodge objects or people which fall out of higher windows. A bird likes to use cleaned windows as toilet and a special cleaner has to be used to deal with this. But it needs to be used with caution because it destroys regular windows.</p>

<p><em>Das Haus</em> is an economical simulation in which the player owns an apartment building with 30 flats. The goal is to earn as much money as possible. The player has various opportunities to influence the earnings respectively keep the house running, e.g. buying fuel oil, changing the rent, renovate the house or invest in land or industry. There are various unforeseen occurrences to spice things up a bit, e.g. house damage, moving tenants or a lottery winning.</p>

<p><em>Heat Wave: Offshore Superboat Racing</em> is a racing game in which the player uses a power boat to race against four AI opponents. There are various aspects to keep track of during a race, like avoiding overheating the motors or a steady adjustment of the trim. During the race it may be needed to stop and conduct repairs on the ship due to contact with the opponents or the environment. However, it is important that the player took repair parts and fuel (which can be chosen after the qualifying race) with them. There are six courses and an editor to create more.</p>

<p><em>Wild Life</em> is basically the same game as the developer's previous <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14723/safari-guns/">Safari Guns</a> with new scenarios (America, Arctic, India and Australia) and interface. In each level, the player is given a list of three animals he needs to photograph. The process is similar to first-person shooters like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3475/operation-wolf/">Operation Wolf</a>: the player controls a crosshair over the left and right scrolling landscape. After an animal appears, the crosshair needs to be quickly moved over them and a click triggers the photograph. </p>
<p>The interface is basically a set of buttons which need to be clicked on to change the active crosshair: hand (needed to pick up additional equipment or medi packs for healing), 50 mm lens, telephoto lens (for small and far off animals) and a rifle (shooting hunters which try to hurt the player). The number of photographs the player can take is limited and needs to be refilled by picking up frequently appearing new rolls.</p>

<p><em>Spryjinx</em> is a platform game in which two players compete to get the highest score by jumping on platforms. Platforms are moving from the top of the screen to the bottom where they are destroyed. Initially all the platforms are grey but when a player jumps onto a platform it will change color to that players color. A number on the platform indicates how much points it is worth and this amount will be added to the players score when it drops out of the screen. In addition to standard platform blocks with numbers on them there are ones with a question mark (gives a random number of points) and ones with a red devil (moves to adjacent free spaces).</p>
<p>To make the game more interesting there are several bonus items:</p>
<ul>
<li>Paint bucket: Allows the player to paint platform blocks permanently. The opponent can not change the color.</li>
<li>Lightning bolt: The player will move twice as fast.</li>
<li>Glue bottle: Grants the ability to glue the other player to the ground.</li>
<li>Bomb: Destroys a number of platform blocks.</li>
<li>Magnet: Allows the player to move platform blocks to free places by jumping out in the air.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are two ways to win the game: Get the most points or kill the opponent three times.</p>

<p><em>3D Cargame</em> is a car game where the player can drive either a car or a tank. There are three game modes: Practice, Chase game and Cube game. In practice mode the player just drives around the town without any specific goal. In chase game the player has to chase another vehicle until the time runs out (approx. 3 min). In Cube game the player has to collect cubes (there are 39 cubes spread out across the town) every cube collected will add 5 seconds to the timer and when the time runs out it's game over. The player may also chose if he/she wants to drive during the day or night.</p>
<p>The game was created using djgpp and Allegro.</p>

<p><em>Sunny Shine on the Funny Side of Life</em> is a promotional (still commercial) adventure which advertises L&amp;M cigarettes. The player takes on the role of Sunny Shine whose car was destroyed by a steamroller. The goal of the game is to get the only existing duplicate car into Sunny's possession. The scenario takes place in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>The game uses a non-parser control system: the player moves a cursor on the screen and after clicking on an interactive object, a list of possible commands pops up. Puzzles are mostly inventory and conversations-based. Special puzzles are a quiz about American pop culture as a first puzzle and a few action sequences.
However, there are various dead end scenarios (missing an item which is required in a later scene) and a limited inventory. To pick up a new item after the limit is reached, an object has to be permanently removed from the game. The advertising consists of references to L&amp;M in the background graphics and dialogues.</p>

<p><em>Titano</em> is a very similar game to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Ishido:+The+Way+of+Stones">Ishido: The Way of Stones</a>. The player has a playfield with a 12x8 grid and 72 stones which differ in their symbol and colour. There are always two stones which are exactly the same. At the start of the game one stone is set on the playfield and one other is randomly taken from the pile. Every taken stone can only be placed besides another stone which also needs to match in either colour or symbol with all bordering stones (this is the main difference to <em>Ishido</em>). Better matches bring more points which are lost again if an unusable stone is put into the pile again. If the player tries to place the stone wrongly, special stones appear which put away a stone or decrease the score.</p>

<p><em>Krymini</em> is a puzzle game in which the player gets presented with a 6x6 grid. Balls with different colours are spread out on this grid, along with some unoccupied fields. The goal is to move every ball once: depending on the colour the ball has to be moved by a different amount of fields. After a ball is moved, it is converted into a permanent stone. Each level has to be solved within a time limit.</p>

<p><em>Lettrix</em> is a puzzle game in which the player gets presented with a structure, e.g. a big "A". This needs to be rebuilt by using eight differently formed blocks (some reminiscent of <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> shapes) which can be rotated and placed on the playfield. Those blocks are limited in number, e.g. the player may have ten of one and six of another available to use. Wrongly placed blocks can be picked up again, but the player fights against a time limit. When playing with two players, they work together at the same puzzle and alternate their moves.</p>

<p>The year is 1997. You're piloting an AH-64 Apache helicopter through enemy city streets on search and destroy mission. Your target: the Strategic Defense Computer (SDC). You must weave your way in and out of skyscraper corridors. That's the easy part; but enemy helicopters and tanks dog your path -- you must destroy or be destroyed. If you root out the SDC in all three cities, you can save the world from complete nuclear destruction.</p>

<p><em>Strike Zone Baseball</em> is an action-oriented baseball game with the DOS version starring the baseball star Orel Hershiser.</p>
<p>This game offers 2 modes of play - strike zone (main game), and home run derby (batting training).
This gameplay is made up for by animations of baseball players, and user interface
that allows you to adjust both the speed and direction of your bat with on-screen gauges
The player can choose among 26 teams and play directly in the positions of batter and pitcher.
A managerial element is also included: when playing a whole season the player can choose the lineup and the batting order.</p>

<p><em>Final Orbit</em> is a top-down giant robot action game. You pilot an egg-shaped robot, shooting everything in sight on each level.
In the first three levels of this game, you man a walker. Once inside the main complex, however, you are stripped
down to your combat armor and your basic weapon. More powerful weapons can be picked up along the way and those weapons can be made more powerful when picking up another weapon by hitting the trash creatures on the screen.</p>

<p><em>The Final Battle</em> is the successor to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4445/legend-of-the-sword/">Legend of the Sword</a>. In the last game, five heroes managed to foil the plans of the evil wizard Suzar. Now he has returned, captured the party and threw them in his dungeon. The player takes the role of one of the group, with the goal to free his comrades, explore the island and stop the threat once and for all.</p>
<p>The main difference to the predecessor is the isometric perspective and a completely icon-driven interface. To interact with the environment, first a click on the ícon and then on the item or person in the playfield is necessary. The puzzles are inventory-based, but the environment plays a big role in the problems and their solutions: the game features a day/night-cycle and a weather system. The people to be freed have different abilities which need to be used for puzzle solving. Despite the perspective, the current group leader is not on screen and the player is meant to see through his/her eyes.</p>

<p><em>The Second World</em> is a turn-based strategy game set in a science-fiction scenario. The play world is divided into 25 countries and four opponents (optionally all of them can be controlled by humans) want to become the leading force. 
This is either achieved by gaining control over 15 countries (either by buying them or with force), driving all competition out of the business or getting a certain amount of victory points with economic or belligerent achievements.</p>
<p>Gameplay focuses on economical management and can be seen as expanded <a href="/search/?q=Kaiser">Kaiser</a>. During each round (which represents three months), the player can adjust the setting screws of the countries, e.g by hiring agents (can be sent on special missions like assassinating an opponent), stock dealing, trading produced goods, setting the tax or starting a war. Especially important is constructing buildings like hospitals or plants. All those factors determine the statistics of the country, e.g. productivity , prosperity or the death rate. A killed ruler will be replaced by offspring if available. Gameplay is menu based with the exception of smaller action sequences.</p>

<p><em>Sarge</em> is a top-down shooter. The goal is to stop the invading terrorists by controlling a tank and a helicopter. All enemy forces must be destroyed in each level. Two-player mode facilitates gameplay by adding two more units on the battlefield.</p>

<p><em>White Death</em> is based on of the board game of the same name and deals with the fights around the Russian village Velikiye Luki in 1942. There are six scenarios, dealing with different phases of the fight, and the player either takes the role of the German or Russian side of the conflict. </p>
<p>This is one of those game which try to simulate not only the scenario but also the warfare and its tactics as closely as possible. Shown from the typical top-down view on a map with hex grids, the player gives orders to the units through a menu system. The units are represented by icons which each have a little bar showing their strength and movement. Other examples for the things the player needs to take into account are morale, terrain, support and a tactical wise unit placement/movement.</p>

<p><em>SplayMaster</em> is a tournament-style space combat game that is reminiscent of the battles in <a href="/search/?q=Star+Control+2">Star Control 2</a>.</p>
<p>The game is played by two players (2 human players against each other, 1 human player against computer or, as a demo, two computers versus each other). These players pilot spaceships in 2D space armed with a variety of weapons and defenses.</p>
<p>The objective is to destroy another player's spaceship before it does the same to you.</p>

<p><em>On the Road</em> is a managerial simulation in which six players (either human or AI) become the manager of a forwarding agency. The basic goal is to generate as much profit as possible; the specific winning conditions can be set before starting the game. There are also other options, the most significant being if the police controls speed, weight and the night driving ban in Austria.</p>
<p>Gameplay is completely menu based with a graphical representation of the office, this means clicking on the telephone brings up the telephone menu and so on. There are a big variety of things to take care of, e.g. insurance, employment, buying or selling trucks, managing the assignments, watching the financial status or expanding into other European cities. Other options present themselves in the city: a bank for making loans and paying bills, the court and lawyer agency for dealing with (or starting) law suits, an airport to fly to other cities and a company specialised on illegal deeds.</p>
<p>A speciality compared to other managerial simulations with this scenario is that the player has to communicate with the drivers over a radio to give specific orders. Also the player has to take periods of rest to prevent health problems. Choosing reasonable rest times is an important aspect of the game because the competition has free game during those periods. During the resting times the player sees a map of Europe and what happens to the own drivers - for emergencies, the game can be re-entered prematurely to the next full hour, of course with negative health consequences.</p>

<p><em>Operation Com●Bat</em> is a basic, turn-based strategy game. Two armies stand against each other on a battlefield with the goal to destroy the enemy headquarters. With the help of a overhead map and statistics for each vehicle, players plan their moves for each turn: moving a vehicle within a certain radius and then choosing a target to fire at. Additionally there is also a powerful air strike available which uses up a whole turn. The map can be a combination between three scenarios (change what vehicles are used) and six battlefields. There are also various options for changing the game settings, e.g. the time limit of a turn or the firing behaviour of the units.</p>

<p><em>Pop-Up</em> is a basic action game in which the player takes control over a bouncing ball. The goal of each one-screen level (the background themes progress from the big bang all the way to the future) is simple: bouncing between platforms, collecting as many points as possible and above all the exit key which opens up the way to the next level. Of course there are various hazards to overcome, mostly in the form of special platforms like sticky or angled ones. There are also other tools to collect which can be used to make life easier at other places: water drops for extinguishing fires, a hammer for destroying walls and keys for opening up passages.</p>

<p><em>The Power</em> is a puzzle game with similarities to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1443/atomix/">Atomix</a>: The player takes the role of the blob Max who has to collect all hearts divided over the level and then go to his girlfriend Mimi; all within a time limit. However, when Max starts walking into one direction, he only stops when he touches a block. The player also has access to certain blocks of three colours which can be moved with the same rules as Max, but when blocks with a certain colour combination crash against each other (e.g. a moving red onto a green) they vaporize. The game features two playing modes, arcade and tactic, with the basic difference that the arcade mode scrolls and the tactics mode fits each level in one screen.</p>
<p>Only the Amiga version has the split-screen multiplayer mode in which two players try to solve a level first. The level editor is not present in the C64 cassette version.</p>

<p><em>Crazy Drake</em> is a side-scrolling action game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2927/earthworm-jim/">Earthworm Jim</a>, in which the player controls a duck, Crazy Drake, through various levels set in six different episodes.</p>
<p>One night in LoonVille, Prince Drake was playing his favourite video game. Unbeknownst to him, the Evil Dr. FoulBrain broke into the palace and stole the Sacred GoldenEgg, which was the source of power in the kingdom. Since Prince was to blame for not guarding the egg, he knew what had to be done and became Crazy Drake.</p>
<p>The game controls like a standard side-scrolling platformer. The player's main attack is a gun with unlimited ammo and they can find special items that can give them Silver Bullets for the gun and a special secondary weapon called SmartBomb. The levels are ridden with hidden items like extra lives, first aid items, and even items that will teleport the player to hidden and secret levels.</p>

<p><em>Drop-Drop</em> is a puzzle arcade game, probably inspired by Tetris and Columns.</p>
<p>There is a rectangular playfield. Various blocks appear slowly from the top. If one of the columns would reach the bottom, the game is over.</p>
<p>The player has a cursor at the bottom which can be used to select a particular column, pull blocks into that cursor the bottom, move the cursor to a different column and push the blocks back to the top. Multiple blocks can be moved at once, but they have to be the same type. As soon as the column of at least 5 blocks of the same type gathers together, this group annihilates, freeing up space on the playfield, thus making it possible to continue the game.</p>

<p><em>Kengi</em> is a <em>Othello</em> variant played with little aliens instead of stones. As with the original board game, the players place the aliens in turns on a 8x8 board with the goal to have the most own aliens on the field when the match ends. An alien has to be placed besides another alien already on the field and all of the hostile aliens between the placed and next own alien are turned into own aliens,</p>
<p>The main variation are five instead of one board. They can be reached through a panel on the right which also shows a small preview of the already placed aliens. The placement rules between the boards remain identical in vertical order. There is only one board on screen at a time. There are three difficulty levels and an optional time limit for each turn.</p>

<p><em>Projekt Prometheus</em> is a German text adventure with graphics. It is set in 2012 directly after the explosion of a nuclear plant. The only way to get rid of the radioactivity is to fetch a resource only available in space. Unfortunately the whole crew of the space ship was killed by a plague and only one man, a journalist, remains. He has to figure out the space ship controls and solve puzzles, e.g. dealing with a contaminated command console.</p>
<p>The player communicates with the game by typing in commands with the keyboard and reading the game's text descriptions. However, the player can associate often used orders to the function keys. The icon bar, controlled with the mouse, offers additional functions or notifications, e.g. a compass which is used to leave a room, switching between text and graphics (not available for all rooms) or a mini map of the space ship.</p>

<p><em>Die Ralf Glau Edition</em> is a compilation of the following games:</p>
<ul>

</ul>

<p><em>Turn n' Burn</em> is a simple space shooter. The player moves over the one-screen levels and shoots everything which moves. After all enemy formations (either a snake formation out of smiley faces or alien ships moving downwards) are killed, the next level is reached. Collecting power ups which are left behind by dead hostiles reward certain advantages, e.g. a shield. If the screen is left from one side, the ship appears at the opposite side of the screen.</p>

<p><em>Brain Artifice</em> is a puzzle game in which the player needs to build combinations out of given blocks. While initially the combinations simply consist of the the same picture or colour, in later levels there are certain patterns to achieve. The blocks are initially divided over the playfield and after grabbing one of them, the player can move it freely over all the unoccupied space. If the block is near another block from the pattern - the detailed requirements change from level to level - it is stuck and can't be moved anymore. </p>
<p>When a whole pattern is done, the stones transform into bricks so the player knows it is time to work with the rest of the stones. All this has to be done within a time limit, and unwinnable situations are entirely possible.
The game features 100 levels which introduce additional gameplay elements over time, e.g. static blocks, blocks which change their colour or hidden blocks.</p>

<p>A deadly, all-consuming mold has emerged from the polluted swamp, spawned from toxic chemical waste, and engulfing everything in its path with venomous grime. Go forth in your herbicide-spewing Herbmobile, and destroy the mold colonies which are threatening the town of Spudville.</p>
<p>The game is similar in style to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/4230/centipede-variants/">Centipede and its variants</a>, but distinct in some gameplay mechanics. Your vehicle can move throughout the entire playing field, shoot in four directions, and toggle an auto-fire mode. Battle the expanding patches of grime, the mutated wildlife, and the spores that continuously deposit new colonies of mold.</p>

<p><em>Graviton</em> is a space shooting game with vector graphics, based on the arcade game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=gravitar">Gravitar</a>. The object is to conquer all planets spread out over four solar systems. The player controls a blue triangle space ship in a similar fashion as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16400/thrust/">Thrust</a>, and the game features simple physics with gravity and inertia.</p>
<p>The game starts in the solar system screen and the player can fly around to select a planet. The ship gravitates towards the sun and the player must avoid hitting it. In the galaxy screen, the player can encounter UFOs. When moving too close to an UFO, the game will zoom in on the encounter and the player has to fight the UFO while avoiding its bullets.</p>
<p>Fly into a planet to enter the planet surface and destroy all gun turrets. When all turrets are destroyed, the player can fly all the way up to go back to the solar system screen. The planet will explode and the player can move on to the next.</p>
<p>Press Z and X to rotate the ship left and right, press DOT to thrust to move around and press SLASH to fire. Pressing space will activate the shield to avoid getting hit by enemy bullets. When close enough the player can pick up extra fuel by hovering over the fuel dumps, represented by blue rectangles, and activating the shield.</p>

<p><em>Space Spirals</em> is a mouse-controlled shooting game, with some similarities to <a href="/search/?q=Missile+Command">Missile Command</a>.</p>
<p>The object of the game is to defend a space station from attacking aliens. With the space station at the center of the screen, the player uses the mouse to move a torpedo cursor around. Press the mouse button, and the station will fire a torpedo to that location where it will explode and take out any surrounding enemies. However, the torpedoes have to travel a bit before they reach their destination so the player has to take this into account when aiming at the moving aliens.</p>
<p>In each level, a refueling ship flies toward the space station and the player must protect it from incoming enemies. Once at the center, the ship docks with the space station and the player is rewarded with extra fuel. The levels face increasingly more difficult waves of enemies. The first 10 levels introduce all the enemy types, and each level after that features various combinations of aliens.</p>

<p>You've been ambushed by mummies in an ancient Egyptian tomb. Your goal is simple survival - but with no weapons and no means of escape, your only hope is to outsmart them: the burial chamber is littered with pits, and as the mummies keep advancing towards your position, you may maneuver them into these holes if you're agile enough.</p>
<p><em>Mummies</em> features a single round of play; for variety, the positions of mummies, pits, and the player are random. The difficulty level can be tweaked, too: game speed, enemy speed, and minimum/maximum number of enemies and pits are all redefinable.</p>

<p>Save the kingdom of Hamnlin from the Mad Mage Inshanis, by setting out to recover Artifacts hidden throughout the vast lands of Kairn.  Recruit new adventurers from a variety of professions and level them up as you gain experience, slay monsters and explore the dungeons.</p>
<p>The Mad Mage is in possession of all the Artifacts save three.  These you  must recover, then journey to the Mad Mage’s island and use them to defeat him.
The shareware version only includes the first dungeon; a registered copy adds the other 3.</p>

<p><em>Xmas Lemmings</em> is a demo released to promote <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/684/oh-no-more-lemmings/">Oh No! More Lemmings</a>. It includes two levels from <em>Oh No!</em> (different ones depending on version and platform) and two new exclusive Christmas-themed levels. The levels feature snowy landscapes, snowmen, festive lights, Christmas songs as background music and the Lemmings dressed in Santa hats and coats.</p>

<p>In <em>The Magic Garden</em>, the player takes the role of the gnome Grobble whose attempt at a robbery failed. His sentence: garden work. Only after reaching a certain amount of effectiveness, the next level can be tackled.</p>
<p>In its core, this is a time management game. There are various tasks to take care of like watering plants, mowing the lawn, repairing broken parts of the garden or catching another gnome which messes up the garden. Some of those tasks appear randomly and other are a direct result of the weather and temperature. However, all require the use of tools which can be fetched at certain buildings, but taking too many of them causes Grobble to be overworked. His exhaustion is shown with another bar, basically a time limit, which can be lowered by eating certain plants or finding special items at more far off parts of the garden like the tunnel system. The garden, which is the main part of the game, is shown from a top-down perspective.</p>

<p><em>Janosik</em> is an enhanced port of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/77612/janosik/">Atari game of the same title</a>. Graphics and audio aspects were adapted to the 16-bit computers, boards entirely remodeled. The game introduced some new elements, like animated short scenes or new types of obstacles.</p>
<p>The game world is divided into forest, village and castle areas. Armed with a shepherd's axe and precise jumping ability Janosik must defeat all the enemies to free Maryna.</p>
<p>This platform game is loosely based on the story around Juraj Jánošík, a XVII / XVIIIc. Slovak highlander, leader of Carpathian brigands. In Poland the legend was revived by a popular TV series from 1970s, making him a fictional XIXc. gallant folk hero, who only robs the rich Austrian nobles to help oppressed local peasants, "Robin Hood way".</p>

<p>The war against the powerful neurocomputer MESIA ended with the victory of the humans in the second half of the 23rd century. A large corporation named Conex began rebuilding cities devastated by the war, and produce new robot models. At first it seemed that Conex cared for humanity, but gradually it became clear that the company's goal is world domination. Ken Ryugasaki, the man who has saved the Earth from MESIA, boards his long-time mech companion Tracer and ventures to stop Conex's megalomaniac plans.</p>
<p><em>Master of the Dark Communion</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/54754/genocide/">Genocide</a>. The game features side-scrolling action similar to the original, albeit with much more emphasis on platforming segments. Tracer is equipped with a default melee weapon and can use the powerful eight-directional capsule Betty right from the beginning of the game. Jumping and double-jumping abilities are required to navigate many hazardous areas.</p>

<p><em>Wild Wheels</em> is an action game in which two teams of five cars each try to bring a ball into other team's goal for points (more points are awarded for risky moves) and destroying all enemy cars. The player takes control over a single car which can be shown in various camera positions, most prominently directly behind the vehicle or top-down. There are also special fields on the field which grant advantages when passed.</p>
<p>The single-player portion basically consists of a series of elimination matches with the goal to win all leagues of increasing difficulty levels. Between matches, the points earned with goals can be reinvested into new cars with better statistics - additionally they are also divided into five categories with different roles during the matches. The game features two control modes: in professional mode the player rotates the car when pushing left or right while arcade mode allows direct turns.</p>

<p>Up to 5 empires (player or computer controlled) fight for supremacy in this shareware strategy game. Players produce starships and interstellar missiles, then deploy fleets on a starmap grid, in order to conquer planetary systems. Battles between fleets are resolved automatically, with animated results displayed.</p>

<p>After adapting the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1503/dragons-lair/">Dragon's Lair</a> into <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1504/dragons-lair/">two</a> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4495/dragons-lair-escape-from-singes-castle/">different</a> games, Readysoft continued with the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10396/dragons-lair-ii-time-warp/">arcade sequel</a>.</p>
<p>Dirk the Daring is called back into action when his wife Daphne is kidnapped by the evil wizard Mordroc. Encouraged by Daphne's mother (and her rolling pin), Dirk escapes to Singe's old castle, where he finds a time machine, which will take him to different eras and dimensions on the search for his wife.</p>
<p><em>Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp</em> for home computers adapts parts of stages 1 (escape from Daphne's mother), 2 (prehistoric times), 4 (Garden of Eden), 7 (confrontation with Mordroc) and 8 (final escape) from the arcade game. Gameplay is close to the original - scenes run automatically and the player has to press the right button at the right time (either moving or using Dirk's sword) or die, albeit without the flashing prompts present in the coin-op. All scenes from the original animated film are completely redrawn to fit the limitations of the 16-bit machines.</p>

<p>The plot of <em>Golden Eagle</em> is a basic one: the evil priest Nahmur stole the Golden Eagle, severed it into five parts and hid them in the city. The player controls a special agent with the order (the employees are mutants) to find said parts.</p>
<p>So the player walks through the levels while shooting all opposition. There are also some basic puzzles to solve (collecting an item at one place and using it at another or switch puzzles) and safes to open (either with found codes or by using special equipment) in order to find the eagle parts. There are also some traps to avoid.</p>
<p>Besides walking and moving, the protagonist can jump and duck. All other actions like crawling can only be performed in certain places. Using terminals reveal useful information in the form of messages or a map for easier orientation. Other terminals offer the possibility to play a completely optional game of Reversi.</p>

<p>Intergalactic hero Space Ace faces off against the evil Commander Borf, who hits him with an Infanto-Ray, turning Ace into an adolescent version of himself called Dexter. Now Ace/Dexter must not only rescue his girlfriend Kimberly but also prevent the destruction of the Earth at the hands of Borf.</p>
<p>Readysoft's version of the laserdisc arcade game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6009/space-ace/">Space Ace</a> for 16-bit computers follows the mold of their earlier <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1504/dragons-lair/">Dragon's Lair</a> adaptation: only selected scenes from the original game are used, with all the graphics redrawn from the original cel animation to fit the capabilities of the target machines.</p>
<p>As in <em>Dragon's Lair</em>, the game consists of the cartoon movie running by itself, with the player being required to press the right button at the right time (either moving or firing Ace's gun) or see one of many death animations. The original arcade game offered some alternate paths through the game by letting the player choose between playing as Dexter or turning him back into Ace - the computer version is missing this option, and one always plays as Dexter or Ace depending on the scene.</p>

<p><em>Winter Supersports 92</em> is a sports game with eight events from the Winter Olympiad. The basic goal is to participate in all events in a row (events can be deselected, though) and the player with the most points is the winner. If multiple players participate, two of them are playing at the same time on a split-screen. Then the next batch of two starts.</p>
<ul>
<li>Downhill Skiing, Giant Slalom, Pro Ski Challenge are downhill courses in which the player has to circuit obstacles.</li>
<li>The Bale Jumping and Speed Skating events require the player to alternate pressing left and right while keeping a rhythm.</li>
<li>Bobsled and Luge are also similar to each other: the athletes are shown from behind and the player has to steer the bob/luge. The bob additionally has a brake.</li>
<li>Skidoo Racing consists of a top-down course which needs to be completed as fast as possible. Only a part of the course is shown at a time; the screen scrolls.</li>
</ul>

<p>The sequel to the 1989 game <a href="/search/?q=Waterloo">Waterloo</a> takes us back to the village of <em>Borodino</em> on the 7th of September, 1812, during the bloodiest battle of Napoleon's invasion of Russia.</p>
<p>As in the previous game, the player is observing the battle area through a 3D perspective while issuing commands by typing in certain pre-defined text commands that are combined with the names of commanders, places, and the time of execution. Players receive reports from their officers indicating whether or not the orders have been carried out to the letter.</p>

<p><em>Custer's Last Command</em> is a hex and turn-based wargame recreating the Battle of the Little Bighorn taking place on June 25-26 during the Great Sioux War of 1876, which ended with decisive Native American victory over the U.S. Army.</p>
<p>The battle can be played from Custer's or Indians' side, with optional alternate set-ups (e.g.: Custer was offered backup of Gatling guns, which he refused).</p>

<p><em>Defend The Alamo</em> is a tactical simulation of the Battle of the Alamo (February 23 - March 6, 1836), a turning point of the Texas Revolution. The player takes command of Texian defenders in Alamo Mission (only a handful of riflemen and cannons), trying to fend off general Santa Anna's Mexican army, while conserving precious ammo and men.</p>
<p>The game offers optional alternate set-ups for the battle (giving more chances to doomed defenders). Messengers can be sent with requests for reinforcements. You not only have top-down view of the mission, but also viewpoints in the four cardinal directions from the walls, where you can spot advancing troops or artillery pieces and react accordingly.</p>

<p>You are one of the leading scholars of XIV century France, who is sent on a special mission by the king and the pope to investigate the Abbey of Montglane. The recent fire damaged the abbey and burned several old manuscripts, you're tasked to recover ten treasures that couldn't be accounted for. However things about the abbey are not as they seem to be, the unexplained fire and the strange panic it caused are only the beginning of the mystery lurking inside...</p>
<p><em>The Abbey</em> is an interactive fiction medieval horror with simple parser and ability to save your progress. Instead of the customary score, you're being given a rank that serves as an indicator of your progress.</p>

<p>The psychic detective Katsuya Furuyagi cannot forget his past. Looking at the photo in his office, he recalls Rieka, the woman who won't leave him in his dreams. At that moment, a young girl enters the office; seemingly distressed, she utters a strange request: "erase the memory of my father". Intrigued, Furuyagi uses his psychic abilities to travel to the past and relive memories and people's fates once again.</p>
<p><em>Memories</em> is the second installment in the Psychic Detective series. The gameplay is largely identical to that of the previous entry. Locations are viewed from first-person perspective, and interaction with the environment (including movement to another location) is performed through a command menu. Conversations with characters serve as the primary tool to advance the game's plot.</p>

<p>Only a few people possess the unique ability to read people's hearts; those people are called psychic analysts, and Katsuya Furuyagi is one of them. One day, a fellow analyst pays him an unexpected visit and directs him towards a mysterious old man named Kamiya. Reading the old man's mind, Furuyagi ventures into the realm of memories, where a woman's ghost is attempting to avenge her own murder.</p>
<p><em>Aya</em> is the third installment of the Psychic Detective series. Like in the previous entries, it is a Japanese-style adventure game with first-person view and menu-based interaction and navigation. Commands such as "Look", "Ask" and "Move" must be used on most screens in order to advance the plot. Talking to characters and contemplating about the case play an important role.</p>

<p>One day a mysterious woman clad in mourning dress appears in the office of Katsuya Furuyagi, a private investigator who possesses a unique ability to journey into the minds of people. The woman has a strange request that makes Furuyagi doubt her sanity. For generations, a beautiful doll has been in the possession of her family; however, recently it has disappeared, and the woman is convinced the culprit is the devil himself. Furuyagi travels to the countryside where he begins to investigate this unusual mystery, determined to find out the truth.</p>
<p><em>Orgel</em> plays similarly to previous installment in the Psychic Detective series. The bulk of the game is occupied by conversations with characters, which often involve talking about various topics, gathering information. There are no puzzles, but pieces of evidence can be collected, stored, and viewed as inventory items. The interaction with the game world is menu-based.</p>

<p>The psychic detective Katsuya Furuyagi is finally able to enjoy a peaceful life with his sweetheart Rieka. But a strange nightmare begins to haunt him. He sees an unknown young woman locked in a secluded castle, begging for help. One night, the nightmare takes a different shape - the woman turns into a miraculous creature as Furuyagi enters the castle. Knowing that his unique psychic skills allow him to communicate directly with people's minds, Furuyagi begins to wonder if the nightmare has anything to do with reality - which he will find out soon enough.</p>
<p><em>Nightmare</em> is the fifth entry in the Psychic Detective series. Like its predecessors, it is a Japanese-style adventure game with locations represented as still screens viewed from first-person perspective. Conversations and event-triggering advance the plot; there is no inventory management or puzzles. The player can interact with objects on screen in a point-and-click fashion, with verb commands selected from a menu.</p>

<p>You were thrilled to hear that a month stay was arranged for you in an old manor. For a horror novel author it was simply the ideal place to find inspiration and atmosphere for a new story, as the building itself had a story on its own: in the last 100 years there was an unusual number of murders and suicides committed here, the last owners disappeared 7 years ago. Who knows, maybe there is too much truth in those spooky tales after all, as your publicist who got you the keys for this place is still being hospitalized...</p>
<p><em>Hampton Manor</em> is an interactive fiction horror with simple parser and the ability to save your progress. You're given a score to help you track how far you are into the story.</p>

<p><em>Gettysburg</em> is a wargame simulating the Battle of Gettysburg (fought on July 1-3, 1863), the turning point and one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. You may choose to command either Union or Confederate forces, it is also possible to play a two player game or watch the computer playing both sides.</p>
<p>As in the previous games in this series, the player is observing the battle area through a 3D perspective, while issuing commands by typing in certain pre-defined text elements (combined with names of commanders, places and time of execution). You will get reports from your officers indicating whether or not your orders have been carried out to the letter.</p>

<p><em>Space Quest: The Lost Chapter</em> is an unofficial fan-made game that takes place in the Space Quest universe as created by Sierra. The story takes place between <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/128/space-quest-ii-chapter-ii-vohauls-revenge/">Space Quest II</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/142/space-quest-iii-the-pirates-of-pestulon/">Space Quest III</a>, and sees Roger Wilco starting the game in the escape pod in which he finished Space Quest II. The game is faithful to the characters and events of the original series, but forges its own story. It ends in a position that leads directly into the opening of Space Quest III.</p>
<p>The graphical style of <em>The Lost Chapter</em> is similar to that of Space Quest II, with cartoony 16-color graphics. The game is a standard 3rd-person adventure with keyboard control and a text-based parser. Similar to its official Sierra counterparts, this game features innumerable ways to die.</p>

<p>Two opponents (the second either human or AI) compete on a 8x8 grid field. The players take turns and each one clicks on a field which has two effects: a part of the photograph is revealed and the player gets positive or negative points; depending on the field's colour. The catch is that one player can move the cursor only horizontally and the other is restricted to vertical movements. The game ends when no more moves are possible and the player with the most points wins.</p>

Harpoon Designers' Series II: Post-Graduate Naval Operations & Tactics

<p>The second of the <em>Harpoon Designer's Series</em> is a collection of scenarios for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8308/harpoon/">Harpoon</a> - there are four sets (HDS5, HDS6, HDS7, HDS8) for each previous <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Harpoon+Battleset">BattleSet</a> with 12 missions each (up to 48 in total).

<p><em>BattleSet 2: North Atlantic Convoys</em> (NACV) was the first add-on for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8308/harpoon/">Harpoon</a>, featuring 16 scenarios playable from both sides of the conflict. The hypothetical setting is akin to BattleSet 1: it is 1990, the full scale war between NATO and USSR rages on, Soviets are attempting to cut allied supply convoys, just as the Germans did during the previous world wars, while NATO has to employ the old &amp; tried escort tactics. This way the new map got expanded to North Atlantic and the database received new ships, aircraft, submarines and weapons of Western and Soviet origin.</p>

<p><em>Harpoon Scenario Editor</em> is the same tool that was used by game developers to create missions for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8308/harpoon/">Harpoon</a>. The user may create own scenarios by setting up groups of units, conditions, orders, goals and other variables using installed maps (i.e. BattleSets you own).

New countries were added to support local conflicts (e.g. Iran vs. Iraq). While most Harpoon scenarios from that era were hypothetical NATO vs. USSR encounters, this BattleSet also featured historical mission based on 1991 Gulf War.</p>

<p>This simulation puts you in the role of an air traffic controller in charge of an 15x25 mile airspace (with 2 airports and 10 entry/exit fixes). The player has to process 26 aircraft entering/leaving the area within a 16-99 minutes time frame (adjustable setting, affects difficulty), with radar display updated real-time every 15s.

<p><em>Space M+A+X</em> is a strategy game in which the player constructs and manages a commercial space station; similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23319/project-space-station/">Project: Space Station</a>. The first task is to get the station running, which is accomplished by sending all required personnel and modules, these are the functional units of the station, into space. However, there are only four shuttles available and every transport costs money and time. The used modules determine how well the station works in itself and what commercial output it creates. There is a limited time/money budget and in the long run the station needs to be financially independent, e.g. by developing consumer goods.</p>
<p>The game is mostly menu-driven: the player analyzes the statistics on various screens which show information about the crew, equipment, station, budget, etc. Based on this and other problems which may occur, e.g. sick people or the need for repairs, the player takes consequences for further actions.

In each of the 150 levels, there are a number of blocks with varying symbols or numbers on them. The player can move each block left or right and when two or more identical blocks are brought together, they vanish. The goal is to eliminate all stones within a time limit.</p>
<p>The levels are shown from the side with applied physics, i.e. blocks fall down if pushed from a ledge. There are also various special level elements, e.g. conveyor belts, elevators or weak structure elements which can only bear one block. Passwords are rewarded all five levels and a "help" function can be used twice per level. It brings the level back to point zero without a game over, which is useful when the player navigated into an unwinnable situation. After earning a certain amount of points, the player receives a bomb which can be used to kill off a block of choice.</p>

The game is controlled via menus which are reached by clicking on graphics in a visualized office. The focus lies on the athletic aspect, e.g. tactics, training (can be set separately for each athlete) or lineup, the financial aspect being mostly restricted to buying and selling athletes on the transfer market. Of course each athlete has a number of statistics associated which influence his performance on the field. The matches are shown in one of two non-scrolling perspectives, either top-down or slightly angled from the side, on which relatively small player icons do their work.</p>

<p><em>Shiftrix</em> is a puzzle game with similarities to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1443/atomix/">Atomix</a>. The player is presented with a top-down level with differently coloured blocks. Those blocks can be moved in any direction, but they automatically move into the chosen direction until they meet an obstacle, e.g. a wall or another block. In contrast to <em>Atomix</em>, the goal is not to create a shape but to vaporize all blocks with the usual tile-matching method: two or more blocks of the same colour disappear when they touch. Each level has to be solved within a certain time frame and a limited amount of bombs can be used to kill off single blocks.</p>
<p>Multiplayer is always turn-based, but there is a choice if the turns are inside the level (i.e. the first player moves one block, then the second the next block and so on) or outside (i.e. the first player solves the level and then the second player gets a shot at it).</p>

<p><em>Revolution '76</em> is a political, economic and military simulation of the struggle for independence of the American colonies.</p>
<p>The game begins in 1775 with the convocation of the Second Continental Congress. Each turn represents a year during which the player sets policies (e.g. the attitude towards loyalists), assigns leaders to administrative positions (historical figures, each with their own set of characteristics), recruits military support and manpower (for the continental army, state militia and privateers on the sea), negotiates alliances with European states, regulates the economy (inflation) and raises taxes (even the slave issue is taken into consideration). </p>
<p>The player's government eventually formally declares independence from Britain, leading to civil war, forcing the player to defend the confederated rebelling colonies. The battles are resolved automatically, based on army strength &amp; quality, the presence of a general, morale and supply level. The final outcome may range from a successful defense of a fledgling independence, through a partial autonomy, to an unconditional surrender.</p>

The direction of the ship and the turret is changed independently, i.e. the player can move into one direction and shoot in another. Earned money is reinvested between levels for ship upgrades (speed, armor and turret) or powerful but limited special weapons.</p>

<p>In <em>Legend of Myra</em>, humanity tries to exterminate all rabbits. And obviously the best way to do this is by storing all cabbages underground so that they can't reach them. The player takes control over the rabbit Myra who has to try just that.</p>
<p>This is a <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a> variant: Myra has to dig through the dirt in each of the 120 levels (simply by walking through it) and collect all cabbages. Of course there are many monsters which are deadly by touch which can be destroyed by dropping a stone on their head: gravity takes over as soon as the dirt under a rock is gone. But of course a Myra can also die when he is in the way. During the course of the game there are additional obstacles (e.g. teleporters, switches, mines or doors) and power ups like pistols to find. Especially useful are carrots which give Myra the ability to bite through rocks and monsters.</p>

<p><em>Osiris</em> is a puzzle game for three participants. The game field is a pyramid which in itself is divided into triangle-shaped fields. Each player has a number of blocks in one corner with the goal to reach the middle of the pyramid, representing a treasure tomb. Each turn, a player can move one of the stones up to four fields. However, each stone has a limit of available moves and after that it becomes immobile. A stone can be removed from the field it is surrounded by two (or three if it is immobile) hostile stones. The winning condition is to get the most points. While removing enemy stones give points, the real deal is in the treasure tomb. When a player reaches it with a stone, he is out of the game while the others try to remove the stone in question. If it is still there after three rounds, many points are awarded.</p>
<p>The game features both a multiplayer and a single-player mode. When playing alone, the player has to win 99 fields which increasing difficulty. This is not only reached by making the opponents stronger, but by adding obstacles onto the playing field like bombs or already immobile stones.</p>

When on the field, the player has various icons available which are used to display or hide information, e.g. about the current hole and wind. The game offers two different control methods for the shot: two-click (choosing the loft from a menu and then clicking twice with the correct timing to select the power and drift) and the stroke method (after selecting the power, a miniature ball appears and the player has to click on it. The position of the click sets where the club hits the ball and therefore the drift). The latter is also available in a variant in which the ball randomly moves to make it harder.</p>
<p>The tournament itself is a match between a European and US team with twelve athletes each. There is also the possibility to train the single holes instead of participating in the tournament.</p>

<p><em>Railway Challenge</em> is a strategy game in which the goal is to build a rail connection between two cities - and faster than the two AI opponents. However, building the railroad itself is the smaller part of the challenge because the player also has to supply the infrastructure needed for the job, e.g energy supply, material transportation and the locos. This is handled by contracting enterprises which deal with those aspects. The game itself is completely menu-based with sub-screens for each single company; the whole scenario is shown as overhead map with abstract symbols. The game features three different locomotives (electro, steam and diesel) which slightly change the requirements and 15 scenarios.</p>

<p>The year is 2360. Androids killed all the humanity on planet Earth and now they plan to destroy all the vegetation, too, using an element called Cybertrone. The only survivors are a small group of scientists hidden on the planetoid base Matna Plus. Scientists learn that Cybertrone was used before by extinct civilization from the planet Ascus. </p>
<p>This civilization also developed a counter-device against Cybertrone, called Sodomgomorhator. This device is located on the second moon of the planet Ascus, called Quadam. The scientists sent out the best men to retrieve the device, but they soon lost contact with the team.

The player controls the simple shepherd Robin who is the only one who can defeat the evil Swigrid and return the magic horn. </p>
<p><em>Swigridova kletba</em> (Swigrid's Curse) is a fairy-tale adventure in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=The+Legend+of+Kyrandia">The Legend of Kyrandia</a>

Moving the dot from the center of the octogram, in which diagonal angles are the four main classes, player can create any possible combination of each adjacent classes - for example, it is possible to create pure Wizard or Wizard-Ranger hybrid, but not the Wizard-Fighter hybrid. The position of the dot on the creation chart then determines the number of points one can distribute between the statistics of the character. There are only four base statistics, namely Strength, Magic Use, Agility and Dexterity. The secondary statistics like weapon proficiencies, experience or defenses can change during the gameplay. </p>
<p>During the game, the player will be able to hire three more NPCs with backstories and agenda. The game also offers the possibility to split the player's group which is useful for solving puzzles that require pressing several levers or buttons located on different places in the given location. It's also possible to approach the enemy from different angles. The fighting is turn-based. </p>
<p>The game was released with map editor enabling players to create their own dungeons and maps. In 2007 the game was released for free and so was the source code.</p>

<p><em>Memorex Entertainment Series: Dark Seed + Demoniak</em> is a compilation of two single player adventure games:* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/302/dark-seed/">Dark Seed</a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/55697/demoniak/">Demoniak</a></li>
</ul>

<p><em>Demoniak</em> is an interactive fiction adventure in which the player guides four superheroes in an attempt to stop the evil Demoniak entering our dimension and doing dastardly things by sealing his gateway.</p>
<p>The player may 'become' another character at any time and give that character instructions, objects, such as weapons, may be passed from one character to another.</p>

<p>It's one warrior against an empire, but you are a Fury, a paladin fighting for freedom, and you have nuclear missiles. Your mission is the liberation of Fornax, a peaceful planet firmly under the boot of the Interstellar Union of Civilized Peoples. The Union has tanks, skimmers, forts, and countless troops. You have a suit of force-shielded, powered armor which jumps, flies, self-repairs, and will even tend to your wounds. Skulk in the woods and snipe, or move fast and blast away. Either way, stay alive, complete your mission, and return to the recovery point.</p>
<p>The game screen looks down on one of sixty-three square kilometers, resolved to twenty meters, showing terrain, your position, your enemies, and frequent blaster fire. Terrain is key to survival, as sooner or later you'll need to go to ground and heal up. However, it can hinder your reconnaissance as much as your enemies', and sometimes you'll find yourself under fire from an unseen source. Sound matters, too: your powergun is nearly silent, but the blaster alerts enemies as effectively as it destroys them.</p>
<p>Play is turn-based, but fast. The opportunity to press the right key flits by quickly, bringing new bursts of enemy gunfire around you. Varying movement options, weapons, and enemies make tactics the determining factor in your success. Two scenarios fit into the story: a diversionary expedition to blast everything in sight (except the civvies, so check your targets!), and a search-and-destroy mission to start the revolution. Five difficulty levels and varying equipment (customizable in the disk version) lend additional variety.</p>

<p><em>Drone</em> is a two-dimensional vertical scrolling shooter with pre-rendered 3D graphics. An evil alien race has penetrated Earth's security system, and has launched six deadly nuclear missiles - the game's titular "Drones" - targeting major populations worldwide. Previous attempts to stop the Drones have failed due to the numerous amount of alien ships escorting the nuclear missiles. The player assumes the role of a pilot whose objective is to navigate through six different worlds to carefully disarm all of these missiles, doing battle with as many swarms of alien ships as possible along the way.</p>
<p>The player's ship is loaded with two flavours of weaponry: rapid-fire exploding-tip missiles, which suffice for destroying the various enemy ships; and the homing probe and stinger missiles. The red stinger missiles, which are useful for taking out bigger groups of ships, automatically lock on to the closest target in the player's vicinity. When launched, these missiles head for the locked target and detonate large explosions. On the other hand, the blue probe missiles are used for disarming the Drones at the end of each level. These missiles have built-in technology designed to decrypt the codes that guide the Drones. Once the decryption process is done, the probes gain control over the Drones' internal circuitry systems and do interaction akin to that of a "disarm" signal from the menacing alien mothership. The player's ship also has a shield which, once activated, will gain the player invulnerability to enemy fire. The shield has limited energy, though, and will not be reusable until a certain amount of time is taken for it to recharge.</p>
<p>Disarming a Drone will award the player 500 points, and the game will present you with praise from an unnamed officer. Accidentally hitting the Drones with any weaponry other than the blue probes, however, will result in a nuclear detonation killing the entire population in the current area. This will also sentence the player to a penalty of 1000 points off of his/her score counter.</p>
<p>The player's progress is marked using a heads-up display at the left of the screen which represents how many Drones you have disarmed or detonated via six icons. The Drone on the current level is outlined by a green box. Blue Drone icons signify disarmed Drones; red ones signify detonated Drones.</p>
<p>Preceding the Drones on every level is a boss enemy that can only be successfully destroyed using the red stinger missiles. Each of these bosses has a different form of protection against their weak areas, however, and must be shot at with the standard exploding-tip missiles before the stinger can be launched into the weak area. The only exception to this is the boss on level 2, the Gemini, which must be taken down by launching multiple stingers at both its left and right sides (the amount of stingers to be launched depends on the difficulty level).</p>
<p>If (and only if) all six of the Drones are successfully disarmed, the player has to face wits with the large alien mothership. The mothership has a rotating shield with doors that it can launch fireballs through. The player is vulnerable to these fireballs even when the shield is activated. When a red stinger missiles is launched into an open door, one of the mothership's engines explodes. This must be repeated two more times in order to completely destroy the mothership and win the game.</p>

<p><em>Grandmaster Chess</em> is a chess game with multiple skill levels and various sets of boards and pieces.
Other features include pull-down menus, an analysis mode, a VCR-like replay option and the ability to give the player a chess rating.</p>

<p><em>UnReal World</em> is a combination of survival simulator and low-fantasy rogue-like. The game is set in Iron Age Finland - roughly 1000 A.D. - when Finnish people were pagan tribes living on hunting, fishing, farming and trading furs. It has strong emphasis on survival; to keep your character fed and warm is a challenge in itself, especially when the winter hits with freezing temperatures. If you like, you can choose a tutorial-like game-course, which offers you small tasks one after one. These are good for learning the basics of the game, but otherwise the game is essentially open-ended; there is no final objective, no ready-made storyline to follow. Just wander the forests and make your living, settle down and build a farm of your own, be a peaceful fisher hermit, or equip a band of companions and go raiding and looting.</p>
<p>The game begins with character creation. The player can choose a tribe for his character. This affects the overall attributes and skills. There are skill points to be used to improve chosen skills. And, for a each new character the game generates a huge random map with rivers, lakes, mountains, mires, forests and farmhouses with fields and pastures. The final stage of character creation offers a variety of starting scenarios to choose from. For example, you can start the game in an easy situation where you have just left your home at the age of 16, and go wandering to the unknown places. Or, you can start as poor enslaved youngster, who just tries to flee his captors. </p>
<p>The game itself is turn based with tile graphics. You can travel around in a map mode where the scale is 100m/tile. You zoom in to scale of 2m/tile, when you encounter a creature, enter a settled area, or just want to explore the surroundings in more detail. In zoomed-in mode you can pick berries and mushroom, go fishing, chop down trees and split firewood, build a shelter or a cabin, hunt animals and cut the meat and tan the hide, cook food etc. Almost all of the activities are affected by character skills. They range from timbercraft and survival to swimming and climbing and on to weapon skills.</p>
<p>The combat system is simulated in detail. Each wound is separately tracked; you can have a major puncture in your left arm, a bruise in your right elbow, and a shallow tear in your abdomen etc. Penalty from wounds, fatigue and carried load affects your performance. And the same goes for animals and NPC's. So aiming for legs can be a deadly tactics, making the opponent to fall down in which case it is easier to land a lethal blow. Creatures leave tracks when they move around, so it is possible to track down a fleeing animal. A creature with bleeding wounds leaves a blood-scape, which is easier to follow. And if the bleeding is serious, it is enough to just follow the prey until it collapses from blood loss. Humans can try to treat wounds with water and bandages and various herbs. Also you can seek help from sages and wise men. But recovery always takes time; a seriously wounded character can't even walk and is forced to crawl for safety. That is when a stock-pile of dried and smoked meat comes handy. Fighting is always a serious matter, as upon death the character data is deleted, so it effectively is a perma-death.</p>

<p>Humanity is in an intergalactic war with hostile aliens.  You command a ship that, after a space battle, boards the alien mothership.  Inside, you can fly or walk through the MadSpace where the laws of physics at times don't apply.  There are some pre-rendered interactive sections and cutscenes viewable in Stereo3D.  There are  25 levels plus secret areas, with 16 enemy types and 11 extraterrestrial weapons.  Up to 16 players can play over a network or through a modem.

His journey starts at the Duke Nukem's train station... </p>
<p><em>Léto s Oskarem</em> (Summer with Oskar) is a Czech point and click adventure game. The inventory is hidden in the upper part of the screen and reveals only when mouse approaches this part. The dialogue system is notable for it's several options (charm, rude, altruistic) but the outcome is always the same and even the altruistic option can end with shower of insults. Sometimes you can skip the dialogues completely by using the correct item. Humor itself is in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Leisure+Suit+Larry">Leisure Suit Larry</a> and it also contains nudity - both in the background graphics and several characters, too. The game itself is very short, yet much of the effort went to animations on the screen.</p>

<p><em>Frontline</em> is a squad-level tactical strategy game set in many fronts of the World War 2. The included scenarios are Monte Cassino 1944, Guadalcanal 1942, Stalingrad 1943, Pegasus Bridge 1944 and two tutorial missions.</p>

Walls and shell holes may provide cover on the varied battlefields.</p>
<p>The game features an icon-driven menu-based interface.</p>

<p><em>The Sporting News Baseball</em> is a baseball game under the MLBPA license, meaning that it features some of the star players, such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/122359/roger-clemens/">Roger Clemens</a>, <a href="/search/?q=Ozzie+Smith">Ozzie Smith</a> and <a href="/search/?q=George+Brett">George Brett</a>.

<p>In <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/15274/lunar-leeper/">Lunar Leeper</a>, one of Sierra's earlier arcade games, players had to rescue prisoners on a planet's surface while avoiding the "Leepers", who would leap into the air in an attempt to grab them, and one of the Leepers feature in this game. Similar to <a href="/search/?q=FuzzyWOMP">Learning with FuzzyWOMP</a>, the player can select one of four games, by moving the Leeper to the icon and pressing the fire button to select it.</p>
<p>Clockwise from the top, the first game encourages the player to select a series of bones that match the number of dogs on the left side. In the second, the player matches a series of items at the bottom of the screen (including letters, shapes, people, and three-letter words) with the one shown on a platform. In these first two games, the correct answer will flash if a wrong one is given. </p>
<p>In the third game, players have to make their way through a maze while they are assisted by a caterpillar. The mazes are randomly generated. Finally, the fourth one has players paint a series of pictures ranging from a house and mountains to a human figure.</p>

<p><em>Espionage</em> is based on the board game of the same name. Up to four players (either human or computer-controlled) compete to become Master Spy by returning all the micro film canisters back to their base. A player has 12 agents in their team including secret agents, surveillance agents and courier agents. Each type of agent moves around the board in a different way, not unlike in chess. Besides getting the micro film, another objective is to terminate any enemy agents. This is done as in draughts, by jumping over the agent into a free space. Killing enemy agents nets points, which, combined with points for recovered film canisters and surviving agents are tallied for the final score.</p>
<p>The board is viewed from above. It does not fit the screen all at once, so scrolling is necessary. The game offers a hint function (indicating what the computer thinks is the best move to take) as well as the option to show the last move made. The game ends through an (optional and adjustable) time limit or when all film canisters have been retrieved.</p>

<p><em>European Superleague</em> is a managerial soccer simulation which is about an fictional European league featuring eight of the most successful teams (PSV Eindhoven, Glasgow Rangers, Liverpool, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Olympique de Marseilles, AC Milan and Bayern Munich). The player takes control over one of those clubs and is responsible for its athletic and financial success. The player has all the usual options available, including tactics, lineup, transfer market or training. A speciality is the weekly board meeting in which the chairman gives his opinion on the team's current stand. Each team has 20 athletes with abilities which influence their performance during the match (no graphical representation). The game is completely menu-based and the sub-menus are reached through the main menu which has a different graphical or text presentation depending on the used platform.</p>

<p>In <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6203/rings-of-medusa/">Rings of Medusa</a> Prince Cirion managed to defeat Medusa who threatened to overthrow his kingdom Morenor. Unfortunately she has a new plan: travelling to the future (2200) when Cirion is long dead. Of course he pursues her and now his quest of defeating Medusa begins anew. This time the main goal is finding thirteen keys which are divided over dungeons all over the country.</p>
<p>The change of scenario, the predecessor was set in medieval times, means that there is modern weaponry and technology. In order to find the keys, the player needs to build up an army and gather enough money to search for them and defeat Medusa's city. There are several ways to do this, the most important being trade. Other options are searching for treasure on the world map or playing roulette at a casino. Important for success is the assembly of the army as there are multiple races, classes and weaponry to choose from. The main addition in comparison to the predecessor are the dungeons which are shown from a first person-view. The player can take up to three companions into those dungeons and needs to solve puzzles and defeat enemies in real-time (ranged with firearms) in order to reach the goal. The game is also in real-time when travelling on the world map; only inside the cities where the management part takes place the time is stopped. There is also the occasional arcade sequence to solve.</p>

<p><em>Starbyte Super Soccer</em> is a managerial soccer simulation in which the player takes the role of a soccer manager, responsible both for athletic and financial aspects. The goal of the game is to bring the chosen team from the fourth into the first German soccer league; the game is won when a certain goal (chosen before the game starts) is reached. Besides the German league of the season 1991/1992 (with 18 instead of the real 20 teams) there are also a few fictional scenarios available, e.g. one in which first and return match are directly behind each other or a world league with national teams. </p>
<p>During the game, the player has the usual options to choose from, e.g. lineup, tactics, training camps, transfer market, expanding the stadium or merchandising. The strength of an athlete is calculated from the factors position (how well he can play on the position he has to play), shape (if and how well he played in the past) and energy (physical shape). After each season the manager has to have a certain amount of money on the club's account (how much depends on the chosen difficulty level) in order to avoid being fired. The game also rates the manager's performance which is mostly interesting when multiple players are participating. Controls are completely menu based.</p>

<p>When mankind started inputting the events into Earth's biosphere it was unable to handle, the biosphere crashed. Genetically modified organisms led to the death of all life forms except androids produced for the last war. They collected resources, built robots, sent them out to fight, and so on. The Earth made a replacement for the biosphere based on radiation energy rather than solar energy. The androids have discovered that the radiation storms leave a trail of nuclear material and have started collecting it for use as an energy source. And they've started to evolve. Collecting the metal debris, they've analyzed and redesigned the robots, advancing their evolution. Because of this situation, planetary review panel has asked the design council to stop the demolition of planet surface and reallocation to design pool. And design council has accepted the recommendation with one condition. A clearly dominant android form must emerge before the next review, or the planet will be reassigned to design pool.</p>
<p>So, player controls a mobile android mil-ind-camp complex, commonly called a robot city. Player's aim is to conquer all other robot cities on the continent and develop manufacturing and design capabilities to make him the supreme model. The continent is divided up into the zones. Each zone contains an enemy city. Player's city is mobile and can move between zones, and around the map within a zone. Player have a central store of metal and energy used to build robots. These player sends out from city to collect more energy and metal, fight enemy robots, and locate and destroy the enemy city in each zone.</p>
<p>Player's production line can produce only a limited number of robot models and it takes time, energy and metal to produce them. Player can obtain the plans to produce better and more devastating models by defeating mutant cities in particular zones which are marked on world map. The combat and production capabilities of the enemy cities vary from zone to zone, and player must find a route to each mutant city which does not take him through a zone containing a city more powerful than player can handle, since player needs to destroy the enemy city to be able to pass through a zone. There are a number of things which make life more difficult. The rugged terrain of the devastated earth restricts the movement of some robot models. For example, hover powered models cannot cross hills or broken ground, and tracked models cannot cross lava flows. Radiation storms will destroy any robots which get caught up in them, and electromagnetic storms may destroy any flying models in a zone.</p>
<p>The game has three screens from which player controls the action:<em> The </em>Icon screen* has icons with various functions around the edges including icons to access the other two screens, and a radar map of the zone player is in at the center. The radar map can be made to display a wide variety of different information by selecting various icons.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The <em>main map</em> is where the action takes place. This is a scrolling map of the zone, showing player's city, his robots, enemy and the various type of the terrain and other hazards player encounters. Action here is controlled via a cursor which player can move around the map.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The <em>production screen</em> is the factory floor from which player designs and builds the robots, and keeps track on his metal and energy resources.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p>This computer game is based on the popular adult board game. Three to ten people can play, any of which can be computer controlled. Before the game starts the human players determine their personality by giving scores to certain attributes. The computer's personalities are pre-determined. You can choose a picture of a face.</p>
<p>Each player has three to five dilemma cards and a single answer card. The responses are limited to yes or no. The objective of the game is to get rid of all your dilemma cards. You select an opponent to answer a card. If the players answer and your answer card match then they are both discarded. You are given a new answer card. Your strategy is to pick a person you know will give the answer you are looking for. If the answer doesn't match, the player is challenged. The remaining players vote on whether the answer given is true to their character or not. The winner of the challenge gives a dilemma card to the loser.</p>
<p>The graphics are limited to just showing the questions, your cards and the other players faces.</p>

Like its predecessor, it is based on the classic Korean tale of a boy who is persecuted by his own family and grows up to become a noble-hearted bandit and a hero. Unlike the first game, it is an interactive cartoon movie similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Dragon's+Lair">Dragon's Lair</a>. The player watches short animated scenes depicting various dangers and hazards (some of them comical) occurring to Hong Gildong, and presses directional arrows combined with the action key at the right moments in order to trigger the next scene.</p>

<p>Oseong and Haneum were the pen names of two distinguished scholars who lives in Korea in the late 16th and early 17th century, during the Joseon era. The characters became popular thanks to anecdotes depicting their childhood pranks. This interpretation of such tales is a puzzle game with adventure elements, similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=gobliiins">Gobliiins</a> series. The player guides Oseong and Haneum through twenty single-screen stages, beginning with ordinary chores and ending with a journey to the dream world with various stylistic elements such as dinosaurs and high-tech environments. </p>
<p>The young scholars are controlled with a simple point-and-click interface; the command icon can be changed for walking, picking up objects and using them. As opposed to Gobliiins, Oseong and Haneum have identical abilities, and the game arbitrarily chooses which one must be used to solve specific situations.</p>

<p><em>Jageun Manyeo</em> ("Little Witch") is a hybrid of a platformer and a role-playing game. The titular character is a little girl who lives with her mother in a quiet town, but ventures into dangerous realms on her quest to become a full-fledged sorceress. Visually and gameplay-wise the game resembles <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Popful+Mail">Popful Mail</a>; however, the RPG element is more pronounced and includes experience points awarded for defeating enemies, which results in character growth.</p>
<p>The heroine can only fight enemies with various magic spells, which deplete her MP bar. Besides experience, enemies also award her with gold, which can be used in towns to purchase restorative and supporting items. Towns (and sometimes also hostile areas) contain friendly non-player characters that the little witch can talk to. Rather than having a continuous world, the game is divided into areas, which can be accessed from a world map and tackled in a linear fashion. Hostile areas consist of platform systems and tend to be fairly maze-like. Game progress can be saved at any time.</p>

<p><em>Zis the Adventure</em> is a Korean-made colorful platformer starring a young boy named Zis who finds a letter sealed in a bottle and travels to the magical land Lisnia to rescue its inhabitants from evil pirates. The protagonist's default weapon is a slingshot that can hit targets from afar. Watermelons scattered through the stages award the hero with various costumes when shot at, each costume granting him a unique weapon. These special weapons include a yo-yo that can kill an enemy in one hit; a magician outfit that allows the boy to knock on his hat to release a swarm of birds; stars that act like homing missiles, etc. Diamonds and candy can be collected to increase Zis' health (represented by hearts), which carries over to the next stage.</p>
<p>Many stages introduce diverse challenges, the recurrent one being collecting keys to open doors, which is featured in several stages. In some stages the boy can also float in the air for a short while with a little umbrella and can attach ropes to upper platforms and climb on them. There are also slides, hats that propel the boy to otherwise inaccessible platforms, pencils that draw platforms when activated, floating cushions, and other special objects. Setpieces include a scrolling shoot-em-up level and a stage where Zis rides a dolphin.</p>
<p>The game consists of six "worlds" that the player must complete in a linear fashion, each encompassing three stages. There are no boss battles in the game. There is no possibility to save the player's progress; however, unless the player quits the game, he or she can opt to replay any already completed stage with an unlimited number of continues even after the protagonist runs out of all his lives.</p>

<p><em>Horangi-eui Bunno 2: Pi, Don, Geurigo Nunmul</em> ("Rage of Tiger 2: Blood, Money, and Tears") is a sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Horangi-eui+Bunno">Horangi-eui Bunno</a>, Korea's first fighting game. There are two modes in the game: story and "dual" (versus) mode. There are nine controllable characters, but three of them are not available in the beginning, and only the three main heroes (Hanin, Kent, and Mangho) can be controlled in the story mode. </p>
<p>Rather than having combination attacks and special abilities, the game assigns six different keys to various moves. Gaining the upper hand in battle depends on using the right moves against the right opponent. All the graphics in the game (except the characters' life bars) are monochrome black-white.</p>

<p><em>GoGo!! Uribyeol</em> is a "cute-em-up": a vertically scrolling shoot-em-up with nonsensical enemies and colorful, stylistically diverse levels. The game can be played in single-player or cooperative two-player mode. The gameplay system is fairly simple: players control cute-looking airplanes with two basic attacks: a three-way shot, and a more powerful spreading wave. Flying and ground-based stationary enemies must be eliminated or avoided. Some stages consist entirely of a boss fight. Each player-controlled craft has a health bar; once it reaches zero players may opt to continue from the same spot. The game is over when players run out of continues.</p>

<p><em>Manman Papa Sikjeok-pyeon</em> is based on the Chinese Ming Dynasty folk tale about Yi Zhi Mei (Korean pronunciation: Iljimae), a noble thief with a mysterious past who robs corrupt high-ranking officials and supports the poor. In the game Iljimae is already an established hero who must stop a powerful warlord who made a pact with a dragon. Only music played on a magical flute will bring peace back to the country.</p>
<p>The game's visual style and perspective in towns is very similar to that of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/608/ultima-vii-the-black-gate/">Ultima VII</a>; another resemblance is the usage of key topics during conversations. The bulk of the game, however, has little to do with Ultima and plays like a simple Japanese RPG (in particular <a href="/search/?q=dragon+warrior">Dragon Warrior</a>), with overworld navigation, random enemies, and turn-based combat viewed from a first-person perspective.</p>

<p><em>Manpa Sikjeok-pyeon</em> is based on the Chinese Ming Dynasty story of Yi Zhi Mei ("Iljimae" in Korean), a mysterious thief who steals from the rich to give to the poor. The story involves the search for a magic bamboo flute that alone can put an end to wars. The material, however, is treated very loosely, with added characters and locations (including futuristic ones) that have little to do with the original tale.</p>
<p>The game is an arcade on-rails shooter with an over-the-shoulder pseudo-3D view, similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1434/space-harrier/">Space Harrier</a>. Unlike that game, all three controllable protagonists are confined to the ground. Their main method of defense is shooting at enemies, but they can also use melee moves with a chance to evade enemy attacks. Stages also contain obstacles, many of which can be destroyed. Power-ups include weapon upgrades, autofire, and health-restoring food. If a player collects a special ticket in a stage he gains access to a store, where all these items plus upgradeable super-attacks can be bought. Stages usually end with a boss battle. Cooperative two-player mode is available.</p>

<p><em>Gwanggaeto Daewang</em> ("Great King Gwanggaeto") is a historical real-time strategy game focusing on the conquests of Gwanggaeto the Great, who ruled Goguryeo kingdom in the 5th century. There are nine scenarios, most of which reflect the historical events of the time and involve Gwanggaeto's rise to power and his campaigns to subdue the rivaling kingdom Baekje and eventually uniting the Three Kingdoms of Korea (Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla) under his reign. The gameplay focuses mainly on army management and combat, with a simple icon-based point-and-click interface that allows the player to move units on an isometric playfield and execute commands in real time.</p>

<p><em>Three Kingdoms: Divine Destiny</em> is a Korean-made real-time strategy game heavily influenced by <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>. The names of the countries and their leaders are the same as those of the historical Chinese <a href="/search/?q=three+kingdoms">Three Kingdoms</a> era; however, the setting is completely fictional and fully futuristic, including advanced firearms, vehicles, and robots. Only Liu Bei (kingdom of Shu) and Cao Cao (kingdom of Wei) are playable; Sun Quan of the Wu kingdom is only introduced in the expansion pack.</p>
<p>The gameplay closely mimics the Command &amp; Conquer style, including a similar point-and-click interface. The player constructs building, manages units, and uses mining vehicles to extract minerals from the ground. The game's stand-out feature are individual hero units, with the leader's personality and attributes affecting the unit's performance in battle.</p>

<p><em>Pee &amp; Gity</em> is a Korean-made brawler. The two titular protagonists are anthropomorphic animals who return to their quiet rural house only to find it invaded by enemies. The game allows the player to choose between Pee and Gity, or join forces in the two-player mode, controlling both characters. </p>
<p>As opposed to most beat-em-up games, the action is confined to small areas with limited scrolling, like in versus fighters; defeating all the enemies in the stage automatically takes the player to the next one. Stages can feature regular enemies or bosses. Both protagonists fight by punching enemies, or combining attacks by jumping or dashing. They can also pick up various objects (such as stones) and throw them at enemies. Special orbs can be collected; once a sufficient amount has been accumulated, Pee and Gity transform into powerful robotic creatures.</p>

<p><em>Ascii Sector</em> is a free-roaming, space-faring, sci-fi RPG game, focusing on combat and trading. As its early title suggest, it is a fan-made remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/611/wing-commander-privateer/">Privateer</a>, borrowing its setting (e.g. you'll face the Kilrathi), but presented in 2D graphics made of ASCII characters, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6145/rogue-variants-roguelikes/">roguelike</a> style, albeit in real-time and with mouse-driven menus.</p>
<p>Just as in <em>Privateer</em>, you're an aspiring freelancer who had just bought a cheap, used space ship, hoping to get rich. The player will jump between solar systems, trading goods and accepting various paid missions (ranging from transport, through escort, to bounty hunting), while fending off pirates... or join said pirates, scooping cargo from shot merchant ships, dodging Confederation and militia patrols. Merchant and mercenary guilds will accept you in their ranks for a price, offering lucrative assignments. You'll need that money to buy better ships, armament and equipment, as it's the only way to increase the chances of survival on your dangerous trips.</p>
<p>What sets this game apart from its archetype (and even the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/124/elite-series/">Elite series</a>) is the inclusion of ground travel and combat - you can walk around spaceports (or even on board of own ship), talk with shady types that frequent local cantinas, arm yourself with laser rifles or vibroblades, and eventually visit a doctor to heal wounds earned in the last bar brawl. Other new features include handy tools for tracking commodity price changes between planets.</p>
<p>The game package contains documentation for writing custom quests, allowing its users to add subplots to the game (some were made available as extra downloads).</p>

<p><em>Olmang Jolmang Paradise</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1434/space-harrier/">Space Harrier</a>-like arcade 3D shooter that allows one or two players to control characters from various <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/8755/family-production/">Family Production</a>. There are eight controllable characters in total: the two ships from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56304/illusion-blaze/">Illusion Blaze</a>; the two mechas from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/32094/iron-blood/">Iron Blood</a>; the two anthropomorphic animal heroes from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56293/pee-gity/">Pee &amp; Gity</a>; and Shakii with his wife from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6846/shakii-the-wolf/">Shakii the Wolf</a>.</p>
<p>Each character has his or her unique weapons, such as boomerangs, throwing discs, guns, etc. Characters can also execute unique powerful attacks, which deplete their health: for example, Gity summons a giant crocodile head, Shakii's wife releases a swarm of flowers, and so on. Each pair of characters begins in a different stage, but eventually all of them share the same set. There are no power-ups in the stages themselves except money; however, the player can visit shops where this money can be spent on additional lives, sidekicks ("options"), tickets for a chicken race, etc.</p>

<p><em>Illusion Blaze</em> is a Korean-made sci-fi horizontally-scrolling shoot-em-up. The player controls either of the two available spacecraft that must traverse hostile areas, dealing with regular enemies and bosses on the way. Power-ups include weapon upgrades, protective shields, and weapon-switching orbs. Like in <a href="/search/?q=Thunder+Force+IV">Thunder Force IV</a>, there are four types of weapons distinguished by their color; if the player has collected the corresponding orbs, it is possible to switch between them at will. Also like in <em>Thunder Force IV</em>, the player can select between four different initial stages.</p>

<p><em>Eol-ui Moheom</em> is a Korean-made colorful platformer starring the titular character Eol, a cute yellow anthropomorphic animal who must defeat an equally animal-like anthropomorphic demon and his minions. Eol traverses linear stages, jumping on stationary and moving platforms, and defeating regular enemies and bosses. He fights with his tail, which releases a projectile attack; he can also use his tail to grab on poles and trees. Another ability Eol has is sliding, which can be used to avoid enemies and fit into narrow passages.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/34822/pee-gity-special/">Pee &amp; Gity Special</a> (with the titular hero's name deliberately spelled in a less unsavory fashion) continues the brawler gameplay of the predecessor. Like before, the protagonists work together facing waves of enemies and punching them until the last is eliminated and they can advance to the next screen. The game introduces an additional controllable character, an anthropomorphic bird.</p>
<p>A new feature compared to the previous games is a shop where characters can buy various power-ups with money collected during the brawls. Unlike its predecessors with their hand-drawn cartoony graphics, <em>Py &amp; Gity 2</em> utilize pre-rendered sprites and backgrounds.</p>

<p><em>Samgukki</em> ("The Record of Three Kingdoms") is a turn-based strategy game reminiscent of <a href="/search/?q=Koei">Koei's</a> <a href="/search/?q=romance+of+the+three+kingdoms">Romance of the Three Kingdoms</a> series, but set in Korea during the local Three Kingdoms period and following the five-hundred-years struggle for dominance between the kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje that began in 57 A.D.</p>
<p>The game allows the player to control various rulers and warlords of the warring states, managing armies and planning invasions. Scenarios play out on a map of Korea that is divided into provinces. The game has a somewhat simpler gameplay than Koei's series, and focuses more on military strategy and combat.</p>

<p><em>Yojeong Jeonsa Dwijuk</em> tells the tale of a boy nicknamed Dwijuk ("messy"), who miraculously finds himself in the role of a Fairy Knight, entrusted with the protection of innocents from monsters. The game is a side-scrolling platformer with light role-playing elements, similar in concept to some installments of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=wonder+boy">Wonder Boy</a> series. Much of the game consists of exploring fairly vast stages populated by regular enemies and bosses. A few friendly characters will sell the hero weapons, armor, and items such as keys and potions. The protagonist acquires a basic projectile weapon early in the game, but can find and buy better gear as the game advances.</p>

<p><em>Combatrobo Zakato</em> is a Korean-made sci-fi side-scrolling shooter in which the player controls a giant mecha sent into a hostile area in deep space to fight mechanized aliens. Though the mecha can move freely in eight directions, the game doesn't play exactly like a scrolling shoot-em-up, because the screen scrolls horizontally or vertically only if the player character moves in the correspondent direction. The player can choose various weapons and limited ammunition types for each mission; however, all weapons can only shoot forward. The player can turn the mecha around by pressing a separate button. Stages usually end with boss battles.</p>

<p>Time to take to the field and manage a cricket team. This one-player game allows you to choose your team from seven countries and play versus the other ones. You can choose from three lengths of tour (home and abroad). These tours include one-day, three-day and a full blown test match. </p>
<p>The game is a standard managerial game with icons on the menu screen to allow you to manage your team. When you play a match a scoreboard appears with the runs totting up. Occasionally the game will show a highlight of a decisive moment. This is a side view, first showing the bowler then the batsman. Here the ball can hit the wicket. If the batsman hits the ball then it either shows a catch or a six. </p>
<p>During the game if you are batting you can choose the next batsman when a wicket has fallen or if you are bowling then when things need changing you can change bowler.</p>

<p><em>PlayMaker Football</em> is a top-down simulation of American football . It is made out of three primary sections - The Game / Team Draft / Chalkboard Editor.</p>
<p>The game allows one to take the role of a coach of a team of 25 football players. The coach can create a team using the Team Draft mode of the program, and then design and test plays using the Chalkboard Editor mode. The Chalkboard Editor mode also allows the coach to create artificial intelligence settings for each play, used by the program to determine which play to call on each down of a game.</p>
<p>The Game mode allows the coach to play games between two teams, each under the control of a coach or the computer.</p>

<p><em>Wilson ProStaff Golf</em> is a 3D golf game. The game can accept up to ten computer golfers, or four golf teams.
The player can control a team or an individual by selecting the game mode - Individual Competition / Team Competition.
It is also possible to change the name, hair and skin colors of the golfers.</p>

<p>Based on the 1993 Danish animated film, "Jungledyret". The plot is about a rare jungle animal named Jack (aka, Hugo) who lives a happy life in the jungle of India with his monkey pals. However, a rich movie owner's ex-wife plans to get her hands on the poor creature. He suddenly escapes from the crazy actress to find a lot of dangerous hazards (including cats) around the city. With the help of Rita the Fox, he must get to a boat which will take him home.</p>
<p><em>Jungle Jack</em> is a platform game. There are no weapons, but Jack can leap onto the hazard's head to avoid him/her/it (except the electricity coming from the wires in Level 3). The power-ups are Jack's favourite food, fruits. They give him more energy and boost up the score.</p>

<p><em>Segyun-jeon</em> is a board game similar in concept to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=reversi">Reversi</a> and notable for being the first game with VGA graphics released in Korea. The player competes against an AI opponent, each controlling blue or red blob-like creatures on a grid. The opponents place blobs on squares in turns with the goal of "capturing" adjacent enemy blobs and turning them into their own color. A stage ends when all the blobs have been turned to the same color. Unlike traditional Reversi variants, each stage has different starting formation, and is distinguished by various difficulty levels.</p>

<p><em>Segyun-jeon 95</em> is a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56425/segyun-jeon/">Segyun-jeon</a>. Like its predecessor, it is a board game similar to <a href="/search/?q=reversi">Reversi</a>, where opponents place colored blobs on a grid in at attempt to surround enemy blobs and convert them to their own color. The game has three modes: one player versus the computer, two players, and training. Unlike the first game, there is time limit for stages. There is also more variety in stage design and starting positions, and new features including neutral green-colored blobs and inaccessible squares.</p>

<p><em>Apachacha</em> is a side-scrolling action game with light platforming elements, starring a Native American warrior who must save the land from an evil demon and his minions. The player advances from stage to stage in a strictly linear fashion. The stages themselves are fairly straightforward, dominated by enemies rather than hazards. The warrior can accumulate and use several throwing weapons simultaneously, and also execute a powerful melee attack that depletes his special energy bar. This bar can be restored with items left by enemies upon defeat. Each stages ends with a boss battle. There is no save feature in the game.</p>

<p>A modern-day schoolboy wants to play a video game, but his mother gets angry and punishes him. While crying, the kid is miraculously transported into a strange fantasy world populated by anthropomorphic animals and other creatures. He becomes the mighty warrior Zakato, and must save that world from an evil goddess by finding two benevolent ones and joining forces with them.</p>
<p><em>Zakato: Maan</em> is a Korean-made role-playing game in Japanese style. Basic combat mechanics are reminiscent of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4501/chrono-trigger/">Chrono Trigger</a>: enemies are visible during exploration, and battles take place in the same environment. Combat is turn-based with a real-time element, nearly identical to the ATB system from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Final+Fantasy">Final Fantasy</a> games. Characters can use regular attacks and elemental magic, but no other special moves.</p>

<p><em>Icarus</em> is (despite the number in its title) the third installment in the Korean-made series of horizontally scrolling sci-fi shoot-em-ups. Once again, Captain Lee and his friends must stop an army of mechanized creatures from destroying Earth. Power-ups either change the weapon's properties or enhance the current weapon by extending the shot, adding three-way fire, etc. Picking a different weapon, however, reverts to its default weak form.</p>
<p>The player has a choice between two pilots, but their ships differ only in their default weapon. For the first time in the series, there is a two-player co-op mode. The two spaceships, controlled simultaneously, can be combined to form a giant mecha.</p>

<p><em>Super Beemger</em> is a horizontally scrolling shoot-em-up in which the player controls a transformer spaceship, fighting mechanical and organic aliens in deep space and their bases. The game's defining feature are the ship's special moves, which are executed by pressing down a button. Among these moves is mecha transformation, energy recharge, an offensive shield, and a powerful attack that destroys all the enemies on screen. All these moves deplete a special energy bar, which gradually refills itself. The player can select between three fire rates, which influence the speed of the regeneration.</p>
<p>When in mecha form the ship can fire straight and spreading shots typical for shoot-em-ups. However, the normal form relies exclusively on homing weapons that hit multiple enemies but cannot target individual enemies directly. Switching between these two forms is essential to survival.</p>

<p><em>The Day 5: Assault Dragon</em> is a horizontally scrolling sci-fi shoot-em-up and (in spite of the number in its title) the fourth installment in the Korean-made series. The gameplay is similar to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56447/the-day-4-icarus/">predecessor</a> in allowing the player to choose between two pilots, or have two players defend Earth against an onslaught of mechanical aliens cooperatively. The male pilot (Kim Jin-hyeok) pilots a craft called Miru Fighter, while the female pilot (Kim Mi-ri) controls the Miru Base. The weapon and power-up system is similar to that of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56430/the-day-ii/">The Day II</a>. Like in <em>Icarus</em>, the two spaceships can be combined into one mecha, with one player controlling its movement and the other firing its weapons. The side-scrolling environments have depth, with a 3D-like perspective that allows enemies to move into the screen.</p>

<p><em>Super Samtong</em> is an action role-playing game starring the titular character, an ex-<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Mirinae">Mirinae</a> mascot who became the property of Sailon after it split off the mother company. The yellow round creature finds himself in the unusual role of a mighty hero: an evil overlord has kidnapped the princess of a fantasy country, and she sends a distress signal to the real world. Samtong receives the signal, jumps to an alternate dimension, and embarks on a quest to rescue the princess.</p>
<p>The game has two main perspective - overhead and side-scrolling. The overhead areas are populated by friendly characters and require Samtong to procure items necessary to enter the next area, as well as purchase equipment. The action takes place in side-scrolling dungeons populated by enemies. Samtong engages them in fairly simple action-oriented combat, receiving gold and experience for his victories.</p>

<p>This is a freeware adaptation of the classic code-breaking board game <em>Mastermind</em>, where the player has to guess a 4-peg color combination, given hints with black and white key pegs.</p>
<p>The game is available in English and Norwegian, apart from standard rules it allows for alternate setups: from 4 to 10 colors and whether they can be used more than once. The screen also displays an answer counter (number of attempts made), a clock measuring game time, and in-game help.</p>

<p><em>Mickey's ABC's: A Day at the Fair</em> is an educational game for pre-schoolers, aimed to familiarize them with the alphabet. The game is a licensed product featuring Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters. The player has the choice between two scenarios, Mickey's home and the fair. In each of those, Mickey can perform 26 actions; each representing a letter from the alphabet. For example, if the letter "i" is pressed at the fair, Mickey eats ice cream.</p>

<p>Join Rayman in his quest to recover the Book of Knowledge which has been stolen by the evil Mr. Dark. The gameplay of the original <a href="/search/?q=Rayman">Rayman</a> game is still present but kids from ages 6-10 must also read, count and spell as Rayman battles his way through the landscapes. </p>
<p>As you guide Rayman around the platforms, you jump to different platform levels and can grab ledges or spin his ears to fly if you miss a landing. He must throw his fists at enemies and grab rings for bonus. The Magician will guide you as to what you must do in each level such as follow a path that has a correctly spelled word and go left or right depending if it's spelled right or wrong. In other cases you may choose a word that rhymes, calculate a mathematical sum or step on a number.</p>
<p>Math activities include counting, adding, subtracting, comparisons, and place values, while Reading Exercises cover spelling, phonics, word recognition, and word classification. The three knowledge adventures consists of: 12 activities, 180 game levels in 6 worlds, with 50 different characters.</p>

<p><em>Captain Kang</em> is a platform shooter starring the titular character, a kangaroo who also happens to be a special agent sent on a mission to protect a city populated by anthropomorphic animals from a monster assault. The Captain is equipped with his default laser pistol at all times. He can shoot in two directions, jump, and duck. Kang's health is measured by a bar with separate units; collecting a sufficient amount of giant pills and other items scattered through the stages will refill a portion of the bar. Temporary invincibility power-up is also available. The stages are fairly vast and may offer optional routes to the destination.</p>

<p><em>Rose Knight</em> is a "raising simulation" very similar to <a href="/search/?q=Princess+Maker">Princess Maker</a> games. The player assumes the role of a knight who has retired from the battlefield and wishes to raise his daughter as a worthy successor to his heroic deeds. </p>
<p>Most of the game is spent selecting schedules for the young girl and watching how her attributes change accordingly. Studying, training, and working occupy the majority of activities. The player can opt to praise or reprimand the young lady, which also affects her statistics. </p>
<p>It is possible to buy weapons and armor as well as participate in battles. However, unlike Princess Maker games, there is no exploration and no true RPG-style character development: like other events, battles occur randomly in the end of a chapter.</p>

<p><em>Izmir</em> is a sci-fi 3D chase-view shooter similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1434/space-harrier/">Space Harrier</a>. The player controls an armored mech who is deployed onto a hostile planet and has to destroy or avoid mechanized enemies and traps on his way. The mecha can freely fly or advance on the ground; even though most obstacles are situated there, it is necessary to descend from time to time to pick up ammunition. The protagonist can acquire different weapons throughout the game, including energy guns and bombs. Each stage ends with a boss battle.</p>

<p>After the legendary Hong Gildong stepped down as the king of the island Yuldo, he was succeeded by his son Seong Dogun, an equally benevolent ruler. Seong Dogun, in turn, had a son who grew up and became engaged to the beautiful Lady Mihong. The era of prosperity ended when a mysterious man who called himself Jeokdae Ma'in assassinated the queen and took over the country. The king was exiled, and the crown prince went missing. Desperate, Lady Mihong sent her advisor to search for him.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a young shaman named Jinsun wanders from village to village, earning his living by dealing with supernatural threats. One day he finds a gravely wounded swordsman who cannot remember who he is. Together, they help local villagers to get rid of monsters, unaware that Jeokdae Ma'in awaits them on their path.</p>
<p><em>The Romance of Forgotten Kingdom</em> is a role-playing game set in a mythical version of old Korea and can be considered a sequel to the classic Korean novel of <a href="/search/?q=hong+gildong">Hong Gildong</a>. Gameplay-wise, it follows a traditional Japanese format, more particularly <a href="/search/?q=Final+Fantasy">Final Fantasy</a> games, complete with an ATB (mixture of turn-based and real-time) combat and a job system reminiscent of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7322/final-fantasy-iii/">Final Fantasy III</a>. Each character can switch between jobs, which imposes restrictions on weapons and equipment said character is able to use and gradually unlocks class-specific abilities called "Dao", which require magic points. During battles the player can choose to control any character at any time, since they all share the same speed bar. There is no overworld in the game, and towns are directly connected to hostile areas.</p>

<p>Jasper's cat has been nabbed by a nasty witch who intends to use him as an ingredient for her incredibly evil potion! Make your way through a world of magic and monsters to reach the witch's castle and save Orlando.</p>
<p><em>Jasper's Journeys</em> is an old fashioned jump'n'run focusing on the basics of the genre. It features level exploration, collecting gems and fruits, jumping over pits, throwing fruit energy at enemies, avoiding acid drops, unlocking doors and finding secrets. Noteworthy are big enemies, which you will encounter as boss battles, as well as normal level enemies. Also you have the chance to win each level through a bonus section, which you can access after finding three orbs in a level.</p>

<p>A hundred years ago Brimhil, the beautiful queen of elves, gave up her youth in order to revive the Life Tree which sustained her race. Years have passed, and humans began to oppress elves. A half-elf named Francis De La Cross tries to save Brimhil from dying, and won't stop at anything to achieve that goal. </p>
<p>The young vice-commander of the Palmira 5th infantry, Lloyd von Roiental, escorts the transport of a powerful staff known as the Wand of Kinan. Francis organizes an ambush, and as a result, Lloyd's companions are killed and the staff taken away from him. Lloyd must find a way to recover the staff and prevent further bloodshed.</p>
<p><em>Astonishia Story</em> is a Korean-made role-playing game. The game's structure and basic system are of the traditional Japanese kind and involve party management, overworld exploration, linear progression, and automatic character growth. Enemies are visibly roaming hostile areas and can be avoided. A contact with an enemy initiates a turn-based battle that contains tactical elements: the player can navigate characters on the screen and attack only if the enemy is within their weapons' range.</p>

<p><em>Namukkun Iyagi</em> is a Korean-made adventure game based on the tale of the woodcutter and the fairy. A poor young woodcutter has to work for a greedy merchant, cutting trees all day. But when he helps a little deer, things begin to change. He meets a miraculous woman - but will he be able to do what is right to call her his wife?</p>
<p>The gameplay follows the Western point-and-click template. The four command icons, corresponding to the actions of walking, examining, touching, and talking, can be cycled through and used on any object in the scenery; however, only a few can be interacted with. Objects are not highlighted. Most of the puzzles involve collecting inventory items and then using them on the right object. Dialogue is non-branching.</p>

<p><em>Kart Race</em> is, as the name implies, a racing game featuring small four-wheeled open vehicles known as karts. The competitors are children aged eight to twelve. Players can select any of the eight available characters and either race against the computer AI or compete with each other in a two-player mode. </p>
<p>The circuits include various natural environments such as fields, water, icy areas, desert, etc. Each character has a health bar that can be restored by driving over food scattered through the stages. In addition, characters can pick up bowling pins and clubs, which will allow them to throw at enemies bowling balls or fireballs of limited quantities, respectively. In all stages there are also yellow barrels that will incinerate a character upon contact, stopping him or her for a short while.</p>

<p><em>Hello Mr. President</em> is a Korean-made humorous versus fighting game in which all the playable characters are contemporary presidents or prime ministers of different countries. These include Bill Clinton (USA), Boris Yeltsin (Russia), Deng Xiaoping (China), Margaret Thatcher (UK), François Mitterrand (France), Saddam Hussein (Iraq), Morihiro Hosokawa (Japan), and Kim Youngsam (South Korea). The player can choose the order of opponents for each character. The fighting takes place in the home country of the opponent, with matching backgrounds representing the location.</p>
<p>The game also include a board game mode where the player moves the character on a board, solving various mini-games such as simple puzzles or answering trivia questions on the way. Succeeding in the board game allows the character to start the fight with better attributes. It is, however, possible to skip the board game entirely and go straight to the battles.</p>

<p>By the year 2765 Earth has become nearly uninhabitable due to heavy pollution. Humans make a contract with a race of mechanic creatures called Destragon to find a planet and make its conditions suitable for human life. In return, the humans promise to give the Destragon their own land. However, the Destragon betray the humans, and Earth soon turns into a war zone. To make matters even worse, an organization known as Hydra, comprised of the descendants of human colonists, appears on the stage with its own agenda. </p>
<p>A young pilot named Nix crash-lands on Hydra territory, which remains neutral for the time being. Nix must find a way to repair his spaceship and return to Earth, but this seemingly simple quests pulls him into a net of intrigues and conflicts he won't be able to leave behind.</p>
<p><em>EXP: The Excellent Potato</em> is a Korean-made sci-fi role-playing game. Basic structure and combat system are reminiscent of Japanese RPGs. The player navigates Nix and his party on the overworld, visiting towns, talking to non-player characters, and buying weapons, equipment, and items. Enemies are visible during exploration and can be avoided. Combat is turn-based; some of the characters are able to execute special attacks equivalent to magic, but otherwise fight with equipped melee weapons and firearms that require separate ammunition.</p>

<p>Russco produced several pinball games using <a href="/game/pinball-construction-set">Pinball Construction Set</a>. Here's another one, always playable for up to four players. This time, the theme is a treasure box, right in the center of the playfield.</p>

<p><em>Box Ranger</em> is a horizontally scrolling shoot-em-up and a parody of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/14364/soft-action/">Soft Action's</a> own <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/43174/fox-ranger/">Fox Ranger</a>. The player controls a little pink box with wings, flying through stages infested by hostile insects and photos of game developers. Mid- and end-level bosses further impede the unlikely hero's progress. </p>
<p>The default weapon shoots short bursts in a straight line, and upgrades include wingmen above and below the box, a shield that protects from attacks until broken, and additional weapons (which can also be acquired between stages by playing a rock-scissors-paper game). A special weapon is activated by pressing a separate key and has limited charges. The box has a set amount of hit points and respawns at the same location when losing a life, until it runs out of them and the player has to restart. Three difficulty levels are available.</p>

<p>An alien organism has infiltrated Earth's atmosphere and sunk deep into the ocean. Eventually, it grew and spread over the planet. A large-scale war between humans and aliens began. A lone Fox Ranger pilot is sent on his fighter spacecraft to an alien-controlled zone in attempt to single-handedly win the war.</p>
<p>Unlike its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/43174/fox-ranger/">predecessor</a>, <em>Fox Ranger II</em> incorporates three different shoot-em-up styles: the original horizontal one, vertical, and chase-view 3D. Stages may belong to any of these different styles and switch to another one following a boss fight. Weapon and power-up system, however, remain the same regardless of the perspective, with regular upgrades and up to three special weapons that can be stored and switched between.</p>

<p>In <em>VanSlug: X Mission</em> the player takes control of the titular hero, a futuristic detective named Van Slug whose hobby is to don his protective gear and rid the city and adjacent rural areas of monsters. In this platform shooter the player guides Van Slug through fairly vast levels populated by ground-based and flying enemies. </p>
<p>The hero's default gun with unlimited ammunition can be exchanged for stronger ones (but with limited ammo) by picking a correspondent power-up. Other power-ups include shields that further protect the hero from attacks, dynamite, and health-restoring items. A boss battle awaits Van Slug at the end of each stage.</p>
<p>Even though a bar entitled "EXP" is displayed alongside with the protagonist's health and special ammunition gauges, it never fills up and remains empty for the duration of the game.</p>

<p>In <em>Blow Up!</em> the player takes on the role of Joe Kowalski who must navigate his way to the exit in six progressively more difficult caverns. The game has similar gameplay as <a href="/search/?q=boulder-dash">Boulder Dash</a>, and each cavern must be completed within five minutes.</p>
<p>Along the way, Joe will encounter various enemies. There are grabbers who will jump on Joe and slow him down. Darth Vader heads who move around more quickly and will shoot at you. Walking grenades will explode when you come too close to them. The green virus will spread around when it is unleashed and it will make you sick when you come into contact with it. Joe will turn pale white, his energy will drain and he can only move around slowly.</p>
<p>Joe can fight back by dropping rocks onto them, or by shooting them or by using mines to blow up enemies or walls.</p>

<p><em>Zelda Classic</em> is a fan-made update of the 1986 fantasy action game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3393/the-legend-of-zelda/">The Legend of Zelda</a>, in which the young Link must search the land of Hyrule to find the shards of the Triforce of wisdom so that he can rescue the eponymous princess from evil forces. In addition to an exact replica of the original game, <em>Zelda Classic</em> features the option of using the original or updated graphics. It also includes ZQuest, a level designer for players to create their own quests and import custom graphics.</p>

<p><em>Qi Xiao Quan</em> is a Taiwanese-made action game based on the Japanese manga <em>Ranma ½</em>. The protagonist is a teenager named Ranma who fell into a cursed spring, which causes him to turn into a girl whenever he touches water.</p>
<p>There are two modes in the game, which are essentially two different games in one. The "Normal" mode involves exploring a labyrinthine first-person pseudo-3D dungeon, occasionally participating in side-scrolling one-on-one fights, during which Ranma can jump, punch, and kick the opponent. Other events include encountering characters from the manga or game developers, answering trivia questions, or playing rock-paper-scissors with a panda who also happens to be Ranma's father.</p>
<p>The "Special" mode is a side-scrolling action game with light platforming elements. In this mode, Ranma traverses linear stages and shoots small fireballs at enemies. He can also charge to perform a more powerful attack. Each stage ends with a boss battle.The player controls Ranma in his male incarnation in both modes.</p>

<p>This "Golden Edition" contains the following games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19353/xuanyuan-jian/">Xuanyuan Jian</a><em> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19361/xuanyuan-jian-2/">Xuanyuan Jian 2</a></em> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Xuanyuan+Jian+2+Waizhuan:+Feng+zhi+Wu">Xuanyuan Jian 2 Waizhuan: Feng zhi Wu</a></li>
</ul>
<p>In addition to the games, the CD contains Xuanyuan Jian-themed wallpapers, as well as the 1.31v patch for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/30801/tun-town/">Tun Town</a>.</p>

<p>As a flotilla of ships was crossing the sea, a horrifying monster surfaced and destroyed it. A young man was washed ashore and found by local villagers. He does not remember anything, but the villagers tell him that a mysterious crystal was found near him. All the young man can recall afterwards is that his name is Atnas. He volunteers to venture into the dangerous forest and rescue the child of the family that saved him, and gradually begins to understand his role in the grand battle between humans and demons.</p>
<p><em>Shiluo de Fengyin</em> is a Taiwanese-made role-playing game in Japanese style, set in a fantasy land reminiscent of medieval Europe. The player navigates a party of characters on the overworld, visiting towns, talking to NPCs, and exploring dungeons. Enemies appear randomly, and the first-person-view battles are strictly turn-based. Characters can attack physically or use a variety of magic spells. Like in most games of its type, characters level up automatically, and the game's structure is fairly linear.</p>

<p>Three million years ago, five powerful animal-like races from another galaxy (Bats, Leopards, Tigers, Frogs, and Lizards) migrated to Earth. The Bats wanted to dominate the other races, which ended in a war between them. Eventually, most of them died out. The remaining ones retained their super-powers, but blended in with the human civilization and continued living on the Earth as normal human beings.</p>
<p>Xiao Jianren is a self-described "normal guy": a raunchy teenager with an inclination to women's underwear fetish. However, he is also the last remaining member of the Lizard race. His teacher Xuer, the sister of the powerful Batwoman, warns him that Degula of the Bat people wants to revive the struggle of the past by attempting to take over the Earth, more specifically its female population. Naturally, it's up to the unlikely hero to recall the ways of his ancestors and prevent that from happening.</p>
<p><em>L-MAN</em> is a humorous Taiwanese-made game with cartoon-like visuals. Though it has the structure of a fighting game, the actual gameplay consists of simple turn-based combat with a real-time element, during which the player selects icons that represent various offensive and defensive moves at the right moment, and then watches animated attacks unfold. There is no other gameplay besides these battles, and no RPG-like elements. Cutscenes occupy a considerable portion of the story mode, and the battles are dictated by the plot. In the versus mode, one or two players can select various characters from the story and go straight into the battle.</p>

<p><em>Pango</em> is a clone of the arcade game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5386/pengo/">Pengo</a>. The player controls Pango, a penguin like character, in a maze made of ice blocks which can be moved around or destroyed. Also in the maze are bees which chase the player and will cause a life to be lost if caught. The goal is to clear all of the bees from the playfield in one minute by either squashing them with ice blocks or shocking them by pushing the walls at the edges of the screen. When a level begins, not all of the bees will be on the screen; some will be in egg form hidden in the ice blocks. Whenever a bee is destroyed, one of the eggs will hatch into a new bee. The player can prevent eggs from hatching by destroying the ice blocks containing them. In addition to the normal ice blocks and those containing eggs, there are also three diamond blocks. These cannot be destroyed, however if all three of them are lined up then bonus points are earned. Lining up the diamond blocks in the middle of the playfield will earn more points than lining them up against the wall.</p>

<p><em>Father World</em> is an action game with adventure elements. Peace in a megalopolis is threatened by a mysterious demon and his cyborg minions. A lone hero agrees to do what the authorities can't: single-handedly avert the threat. The game is very similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Out+of+this+world">Another World</a> visually, though it contains by far less platforming elements and setpieces, and focuses on exploration, making it feel more like an adventure game. The player navigates the protagonist through side-view environments, talking to characters, obtaining quests, and occasionally engaging in combat and avoiding obstacles. Character animation is almost identical to that of <em>Another World</em>; the hero is able to run, jump, perform a running jump, and crouch.</p>

<p><em>Euijeok: Im Kkeokjeong</em>, more commonly known as <em>Legend of the Seven Paladins</em>, is a first-person 3D shooter set in feudal Korea (China in the originally developed unreleased Taiwanese version), and the first commercially released game using the <a href="/search/?q=build">Build</a> engine. The player can choose to control any of the seven available characters, all of which are warriors specializing in various weapons such as swords, flails, maces, as well as unarmed combat. Each character starts with a default melee weapon, but can acquire and use ranged weapons such as darts, throwing knives, etc. Health pick-ups and temporary power-ups are available as well. Enemies are medieval warriors or demons; most of them use their own weapons or cast magic. On several occasions switches must be manipulated to access certain areas, and traps must be avoided.</p>

<p><em>Tonko</em> is a Korean-made platform game that consists of very small (almost single-screen) stages. Each stage is a platform structure populated by monsters. The player controls a cute yellow goblin who must defeat these monsters, traveling through stages with real-world geographical backgrounds. Among the enemies are Nazi ghosts, vampires, beer mugs, American football helmets, crazy fish, and other unorthodox creatures. Tonko can jump and whack enemies on the head with his hammer, which can be upgraded with various power-ups (such as electricity charge) scattered around the stages. If an enemy touches Tonko, he loses a life; the game is over when Tonko has no lives left.</p>

<p><em>Magus</em> is a Korean-made hybrid of a role-playing and a real-time strategy game. The game is set in the medieval fantasy world Castalia, and involves battle for dominance between various kingdoms and provinces. Combat is handled in a RTS fashion, with the player- and AI-controlled forces moving on an overhead battle screen and executing commands in real time. The battles occur between medium-size parties led by individual characters with unique attributes and personalities. These leaders also receive experience, level up, and learn magic spells in a RPG fashion. The game's structure and pacing are also reminiscent of an RPG rather than an RTS: there is no base-building or resource management, and the missions involves completing fairly linear stages that consist chiefly of combat and plot-advancing dialogue.</p>

<p>Latein is a powerful kingdom that dominates the Asirian continent. One day, a party of adventurers enters the quiet town Gorax in Nubroier province. The four young people are ready to face any danger as long as the pay is right. They help a local millionaire to get his treasure back and hope to continue with similar missions. However, a simple request to deliver a letter changes their fate drastically. The adventurers are imprisoned by the authorities and need the help of a mysterious young woman they have met earlier to foil the evil plans of the Governor of Nubroier.</p>
<p><em>Forgotten Saga</em> is a Korean-made role-playing game, and a side story to <a href="/search/?q=Astonishia+Story">Astonishia Story</a>. Like in the earlier game, combat is turn-based and contains tactical elements, as the player is required to navigate characters over the battle screen and attack enemies when they are in range of the characters' weapons, magic spells, and abilities. Unlike <em>Astonishia Story</em>, there is no overworld in the game, and it consists out of interconnected areas. In the beginning of the game the player answers a series of questions that will determine the attributes of the four core party members, in <a href="/search/?q=Ultima">Ultima</a> style.</p>

<p>In the year 2002 AD, incurable diseases and unseen raise in criminal activities have brought the human society onto the verge of collapse. By that time, genetic engineering became so highly developed that it was finally possible to produce cybernetic organisms functioning like humans for all purposes. However, since the authorities were hesitant in their treatment of the cyborgs, they began joining criminal organizations, which used them as formidable soldiers in their battles against the Establishment. Eventually, a mercenary organization known as Blade Warrior was hired to confront them. Sou, one of the youngest members of the team, is sent to deal with a gang of marauding cyborgs in the city's shady area, without realizing that this mission will be just the beginning of a dangerous journey.</p>
<p><em>Zyclunt</em> is a side-scrolling action game. The player controls Sou as he advances through linear stages, fighting enemies in his way. Sou is armed with a sword and can jump and duck as well. The game has beat-em-up elements in that it only allows the player character to advance to the next segment of the area if all the enemies have been defeated. Ranged weapons come in limited quantities and must be picked up in the stages. Most of the enemies in the game are cyborgs, robots, and machines.</p>

<p>The dentist Dr. O Sang Hyun lives in the suburbs with his wife and their daughter Suhee. Everything goes well until one day he disappears without a trace. Suhee must now travel to the shadier districts of the city and use her brawling as well as negotiating skills to find out what happened to her father.</p>
<p><em>Darkside Story</em> is primarily a beat-em-up, though it also contains extensive sequences that involve Suhee wandering around the city, entering houses, and talking to their inhabitants in order to receive the next bit of information and advance the story. In the beginning the player controls only Suhee, but later in the game other characters become available as well. </p>
<p>The fighting is done in a standard beat-em-up fashion: the protagonist has to eliminate all the enemies on screen before being able to advance to the next area. Characters have different attributes and can use punches, kicks, combinations thereof, and special attacks that deplete their HP. Each HP bar equals one heart; Suhee starts with three hearts, but advancing the plot gradually awards her and the other characters with more. HP-restoring items can be picked up by destroying barrels and other objects in the stages.</p>

Little did you know, getting ready for a rest, that you'll be awoken by screams, lights going out, and your examiner being eaten alive by huge rabid rats!</p>
<p><em>Psionics</em> is a simple sci-fi dungeon crawler in which the player must escape from a maze-like space station. Apart from finding a couple of items that will help you in the way, you'll be often facing mutated animals, which you may defeat not only using weapons, but also your psionic powers.</p>

<p><em>Korean Dungeon Boy</em> is a first-person dungeon-crawling shooter with pseudo-3D monochrome graphics. The player controls the titular character as he runs through labyrinths, trying to reach the exit before the time allotted for the stage completion runs out. Combat is action-based, with free movement and attacking; the players needs to move a cursor with the arrow keys to aim and shoot. The hero is equipped with various firearms, most of which require ammunition, while others need batteries to function. Batteries also power-up the protagonist's armor and the radar that displays a mini-map of the stage, and must be found and collected regularly. The hero can also cast spells, which work like expendable items.</p>

<p><em>Doraon Neoguri</em> is a Korean-made variant of the arcade game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/147101/ponpoko/">Ponpoko</a>. The player guides a raccoon dog through a series of single-screen platform stages. The goal in each stage is to eat all the fruits in it. Enemies are moving around and try to prevent the greedy little animal from snatching the fruits. Deadly spikes are placed around many fruits as well. Unidentified objects may contain bonus points, but also may produce new enemies. The protagonist can climb ladders to access upper platforms and can also jump horizontally. A contact with an enemy or a trap, as well as falling damage, will kill him instantly, forcing the player to retry the stage until the raccoon dog runs out of lives.</p>
<p>There is little difference gameplay-wise between this version and the arcade original. However, the levels have different layouts, some graphics (such as the protagonist sprite) are re-drawn, and the order of fruits is different as well.</p>

<p><em>Time Machine I</em> is a Korean-made educational game similar in concept to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6564/where-in-time-is-carmen-sandiego/">Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?</a>. The player takes the role of a detective working for a futuristic agency in 2010, sent on a mission to catch a criminal who has escaped with a time machine. The gameplay involves selecting and exploring various time periods. Historical and geographical information is given to the player, describing each epoch accordingly and giving clues concerning the criminal's whereabouts. The time periods range from prehistoric age to modern history, but are confined to the Korean peninsula.</p>

Championship Manager 2: Including Season 96/97 Updates - English, Scottish & Italian Leagues

<p>Harp is a young fairy of the Butterfly tribe. One day she and her friends meet an old man from another tribe, and Harp draws the ire of the villagers for helping him. Eventually the authorities decide to expel her. Shortly thereafter Harp finds out that the Hornet tribe attacked her home village and captured its inhabitants. In spite of their unfair behavior towards her, the kind fairy embarks on a journey to rescue her tribesmen.</p>
<p><em>Harp</em> is a Korean-made isometric monochrome adventure game with fairly simple gameplay mechanics. The playing area is confined to a small screen that looks like an illustration in a book; the rest of the "page" is occupied by text and small portraits or scenes depicting the events of the game. The player moves Harp through the game world and advances the plot by visiting different locations and talking to people. There is no inventory, puzzles, or any other kind of challenge in the game.</p>

<p><em>Harp Vol. I</em> is a remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56804/harp-a-fantasy-adventure-book/">Harp: A Fantasy Adventure Book</a>. This version has VGA graphics as opposed to the monochrome Hercules-only mode of the earlier release. The perspective is top-down rather than isometric, with a visual resemblance to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/608/ultima-vii-the-black-gate/">Ultima VII</a>. The story-book visual arrangement is gone as well, the playing area occupying the entire screen. Conversations with important characters are now displayed as large portraits superimposed on the screen.</p>
<p>Major locations roughly correspond to that of the original game, to accommodate story progression; however, the actual layout is completely different. For example, the initial area has a sea shore and mountains, but no field paths as in the first version. Some scenes and conversations have been modified or enhanced.</p>
<p>Gameplay-wise, the only notable change is the addition of random turn-based combat. Battle system is very simple and involves pressing a few keys to have Harp cast magic spells on the enemy. There are no experience points, money, equipment, or any other RPG elements in the game.</p>

<p><em>Dokkaebi-ga Ganda</em> is a Korean-made colorful platform game. The player can choose to control either of the two little kobold protagonists, a boy and a girl named Cobi and Comi, respectively. Cobi is armed with a club, while Comi fights using a hammer. Both characters, however, control identically and can execute special combo moves by inputting combinations of keys.</p>
<p>The gameplay consists of traversing linearly arranged stages divided into themes (forest, cave, village, etc.); each thematic group contains three stages, the last of which is a boss battle. Enemies often attack in groups and may charge at the protagonist and push him or her off platforms. Most of the items the player character can collect (coins, sushi, blue energy flames left by defeated enemies, etc.) have no effect on the gameplay and serve only to increase the score. Rice bowls, however, replenish a portion of the protagonist's health bar; a large bowl refills it completely. The player character's overall health is measured by hearts; dying will permanently reduce it by one. There are three difficulty levels in the game, and the player can also choose the amount of continues, from zero to seven.</p>

<p><em>Jackson City</em> is a vertically scrolling space shoot'em-up game. The player, as spaceship pilot, must fight along the game levels versus hordes of aliens and (quite surrealistic) fruits. </p>
<p>Also, there are, along the levels, power-ups that improve the firepower, the speed of the player's spaceship or the amount of fuel. At the end of each level there is a final boss that must be defeated.</p>

<p>Two twin brothers, Na Daero and Na Gaeseong, get caught by the police for committing minor crimes. Once released from the prison, the twins begin to plan a more serious theft, hoping for an easy way to wealth and prosperity. However, they are overheard by a mysterious Mr. X, who foils their schemes and departs with their trophies. As the twins try to catch Mr. X, the police is hunting them down, and no one knows how the chase will end. </p>
<p><em>Twins</em> is a Korean-made game that is primarily composed of puzzle adventure segments similar to those of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=gobliiins">Gobliiins</a>. The player must alternate between the two brothers and use their unique abilities to bypass obstacles and solve puzzles in an enclosed area typically consisting of a few screens. Daero can move heavy objects and use various tools, while Gaeseong is able to jump and is a skillful pickpocket. The game also contains some fighting sequences in which the brothers attempt to take on Mr. X in simple one-screen brawls, and driving sequences where they must escape a police pursuit.</p>

<p>The god Liar has risen. A dark ritual has been performed, and a new religion has taken control of the land. Garwell is the last surviving member of an order of knights that is now persecuted as heretical for denouncing Liar and his ways. He must escape his captors, travel the land, and find a way to stop the cult and restore the glory of his order.</p>
<p><em>Sin'geom-ui Jeonseol 2</em>, also known as <em>Liar</em>, is a Korean-made role-playing game and a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56263/singeom-ui-jeonseol-dream-traveler-part-1/">Dream Traveler</a>. Despite its Asian origin, the game is somewhat closer to the Western than the Japanese format, visually resembling <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/608/ultima-vii-the-black-gate/">Ultima VII</a> and containing characteristic elements such as a vast continuous overhead world that can be explored in a non-linear fashion, limited dialogue choices, and side quests. Like in <em>Ultima VII</em>, combat takes place in the same area as the exploration, is in real time, and involves clicking on the enemy to attack physically or selecting spells. Even though up to four other characters join Garwell on his quest, the player can control only one, while the others are handled by the AI.</p>

The game's visual style is fairly colorful, and many of the enemies are anthropomorphic animals.</p>
<p>The player must complete eight platforming stages. A fixed amount of key items (such as floppy disks) must be collected in each stage in order to proceed to the next one. A boss enemy normally holds a number of such items and drops them upon defeat. The protagonist can only use one weapon, a gun with unlimited ammunition, but it can be upgraded twice for laser attack and fire bursts. It is possible to shoot horizontally and upwards, but not downwards or diagonally. Security camera and supply crates can be destroyed; the latter usually contain score-increasing or health-restoring items.</p>

<p>The peoples of the world band together to create a peaceful, borderless society: the Great Nation. At some point, however, evil finds its way back into the hearts of those who would seek to destroy all that's been accomplished. To keep the peace, the president creates a highly skilled, specialized police force. Only the world's strongest, most courageous warrior will be chosen as the first global police chief. As a result, fighters from all corners of the globe appear to compete for this prestigious title.</p>
<p><em>Cheonha Mujeok</em> is a Korean-made versus fighting game. There is no story mode; players can choose to compete against each other or the computer AI. There are eight characters, each representing a different country, such as South and North Korea, Norway, USA, and others. Most of the characters fight with weapons - swords, flails, etc. Characters can jump up, backflip, and leap over the opponents' heads.</p>

<p><em>IAS</em> is a sci-fi horizontally scrolling shoot-em-up. The player controls a fighter craft, defending a human space colony against the onslaught of enemy ships and mechas. The gameplay is similar to most other games of the genre and involves shooting or avoiding the incessantly advancing enemy craft while collecting power-ups on the way. The latter are distinguished by their color and change the player character's weapons, including laser fire, missiles, a slow yet powerful charged energy shot, etc. The secondary weapon has to be activated with a separate button and functions somewhat differently than in other comparable games, specifically targeting enemy missiles. The player character's health is measured by an energy bar; once it is depleted, the game is over.</p>

<p><em>Daehyeoljeon</em> (Great Fighter) is a Korean-made versus fighting game. </p>
<p>There are only two modes in the game: one player versus computer AI and two-player mode; there is no story mode and no discernible background plot. Players can choose between eight available fighters: seven men and one woman. Each character has his or her own home court, usually a modern urban location such as city streets or fighting arena. Characters use traditional punches and kicks to fight each other; in addition, there are combination attacks that can be performed by combining jumping with the aforementioned moves. Attack and defense ratings as well as the game's speed can be customized in the options menu.</p>

<p><em>Into the Sun: Projected Distruction</em> (<em>sic</em>) is a Korean-made horizontally-scrolling shooter similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56876/ias/">IAS</a>. The player controls a fighter craft that flies above planet surfaces and traverses hostile bases in order to avert a threat imposed by an alien force on humanity. The preceding game's secondary weapon that specifically targeted enemy missiles has been replaced by a more conventional powerful all-screen attack. Missiles, smart bombs, and satellite guns are not available as power-ups any more, and must be purchased in a store between stages.</p>

<p><em>Super Action Ball</em> is a Korean-made humorous arcade-style football (soccer) game. Teams consisting of four players each compete in small stadiums. Though the background graphics suggest open-air areas, the ball can ricochet off the field's borders and is physically unable to leave it. Most football rules and features (offside, corner kick, etc.) besides passing, tackling, and kicking the ball are omitted. There is also no half-time; the player can determine the length of the game, ranging from three to twelve minutes.</p>
<p>Contrary to regular soccer rules, the game allows kicking and tackling players who are not in possession of the ball. Players lose hitpoints and become incapacitated for a short while. In addition, damaging objects may be thrown on the field, and some of the stadiums contain traps. All the players are either "super-deformed" humans or little monsters; any line-up of these can be chosen to form a team. The game can be played by two human opponents, or against computer AI.</p>

<p>In the year 2020, heavy pollution plagued the Earth. Natural environment was gradually destroyed. To serve the ever-increasing human greed, millions of animals were slaughtered. Natural resources were rapidly depleting, and waste covered the planet. Eventually the pollution became so heavy that human civilization had to be rebuilt according to a medieval model. Technology was abolished, but monsters and mutated creatures roamed the world. A lone adventurer arrives in a small town and must prove himself worthy before the authorities entrust him with a quest of utmost importance.</p>
<p><em>Bultaneun Yeonghon</em> is a freeware Korean action role-playing game. The player navigates the hero through interconnected overhead locations populated by enemies. The protagonist can attack physically or cast a magic spell that damages all enemies on screen and requires magic points. Experience points are awarded for each defeated enemy, and the hero eventually levels up as a result. Weapons and armor can be found and equipped as well. In populated areas it is possible to talk to characters and receive quests from them.</p>

<p><em>Nakksigwang</em> is a Korean-made fishing game. The player controls an office worker who got tired of everyday routine and decides to go on a little vacation. There are four locations available, all situated on the same lake. Before the actual fishing, the player should choose the types of lines and hooks he or she wishes to use, as well as find suitable bait. It is also possible to fish with a net. The player can switch between day and night time and view statistics regarding the protagonist's fishing experience.</p>

<p><em>Nakksigwang 2</em> is a fishing simulation and a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56906/nakksigwang/">Nakksigwang</a>. Like the predecessor, the sequel allows the player to choose between four different locations for fishing. These locations are visually more distinct than in the first game, and sometimes require different methods of fishing, e.g. choosing different types of bait prevalent in the terrain, etc. Rods, lines, and hooks are now graphically represented in a special menu.</p>

<p><em>Nakksigwang Special</em> is a follow-up to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56907/nakksigwang-2/">Nakksigwang 2</a>. Visually and gameplay-wise, the game is very similar to its immediate predecessor. Like before, the player first has to select specific locations where he or she would like to fish, and then prepares fishing equipment, choosing between various types of rods, lines, hooks, and bait. There are more diverse locations and new challenges in this release, such as specific equipment and fishing method requirements depending on the type of fish and water (clear, murky, swamp-like, etc.). A fish database is available as well.</p>

<p><em>Monmallineun Tarokbeom</em> tells the story of a man who crossed the street on a red light and got arrested and put in jail as a result. Now the unfortunate convict must escape from the prison. The game is divided into two gameplay modes: platforming and fighting. The platforming is reminiscent of <a href="/search/?q=Prince+of+Persia">Prince of Persia</a> with its realistic animation and falling damage. This gameplay mode also includes stealth, as the protagonist must avoid guards and searchlights. The second mode is a simple versus fighting game that takes place on separate screens with cartoon-like visuals quite different from those of platforming segments.</p>

<p>Many years ago, during the times of the Myoung dynasty, a martial art known as Geuk Cho Ho Kwon prospered. Gradually, it became forgotten and was considered a mere legend by most people. But lately, this mysterious technique resurfaced, as Asian countries began to grow weak, and Western powers strived to use the fighting art for their purpose. To decide the fate of Geuk Cho Ho Kwon, fighters from various countries came to compete in the ultimate championship and demonstrate their knowledge of the great art.</p>
<p><em>Geuk Cho Ho Kwon</em> is a versus fighting game. The game allows two players to compete against each other and also offers a single-player mode with the computer AI taking control over the opponent. There are twelve fighters to choose from, each representing a different country (Korea, China, USA, etc.) and fighting in his or her own stylized location. Attacks include punches and kicks and combinations thereof, performed together with jumping or ducking. In addition, each character has a limited amount of powerful special attacks at his or her disposal.</p>

<p>Having saved the day by destroying a chemical plant in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3319/ninja-rabbits/">Ninja Rabbits</a>, Bugs must now travel the world and destroy several more chemical plants to save the environment from pollution. To get to each plant our hero must walk from left to right on a scrolling side view game. Bugs doesn't just have to travel above ground but has the option in various places to go underground as well. </p>
<p>The baddies appear from the right and using various moves, punch, kick or swing his stick, our hero can defeat the baddies. The baddies can fight back and if they hit you then your damage meter (in the shape of a carrot) will get smaller before it disappears and you lose a life.</p>

<p><em>Dark Continent</em> is a single-player shareware recreational text adventure in which the player travels to Africa in search of a fabulous jewel.</p>
<p>The game starts on day three of the expedition. The native bearers have run off taking the supplies and all the money. Alone in a strange country with no possessions the player's task is to find King Solomon's diamond and get back home to England.</p>
<p>The game is entirely text based. With the exception of special commands such as U, D, N, S, E, and W which are abbreviations for GO UP, GO DOWN, GO NORTH, etc, all commands consist of two words such as GET THING or GO PLACE. The game can be saved by typing SAVE GAME. </p>
<p>Running under DOS the game runs in a single window. It runs in Windows by opening a DOS window in which there are two panels. The game plays in the left hand panel while the right pane contains the copyright information.</p>

<p>In the year 1522 a peace-loving magician discovered, while reading a crystal ball, that the Earth would be destroyed in the 21th century by a wicked man. He invokes the galactic forces and is transported into the 21th century landing inside a pinball machine. The player must help him out so that he can save the Earth. To do that the player must pass the nine tests such as breaking all the rocks, scaring away the evil spirits, activating the energy of the spirit serpent, feeding up a hungry frog, and others - all inside a modified pinball machine.</p>

<p>Compilation includes the following 3 obscure ascii based titles: * Bowling Champ</p>
<ul>
<li>Munchman</li>
<li>Depth Charge</li>
</ul>
<p>Bowling is a bowling game which can be played by one up to four players. Gameplay is from a side view of the bowling alley. Munchman is a simple clone of Pac-Man. Object of the Depth Charge is to drop depth charges from the destroyer at the top of the screen and hit the submarines scattered below.</p>

<p>Ruthaniol is a small valley with rich history which don't lack the evil conspiracy nor battles with orcs. But that was long time ago. Mot, the protagonist who was kidnapped from his cradle while he was still an infant, has to fulfill a quest given by him by his evil Master: find the three lost stones called Eterons so his Master can perform the ritual which will summon the ancient god Asmodeus... </p>
<p><em>Asmodeus</em> is a Czech-made mix between adventure game and dungeon-crawling RPG, that was rendered in 3D but each screen was then redrawn by hand. Apart from several rendered animations in the exteriors, the movement is step-based. Combat is real-time and during each round you can either attack enemy or parry. Enemies have several hit-zones and each of them have certain weak spot which the player has to discover first. There is always just one opponent in every fight but they can spawn randomly during each step the player takes and one can't escape the battle nor use healing. </p>
<p>There is little in terms of statistics, only "energy" (aka hit points) and weapon expertise - both increase with fighting - and the defense statistics which are influenced by equipment, e.g. helmets or armor. Dead enemies don't drop any loot, player has to either find or buy everything - the dungeons are full of hidden compartments and containers. The caves are dark and one has to carry a lit torch all the time (the player is unable to fight in darkness) and more of them, since they deplete in few minutes. Unfortunately, there is no auto-mapping and player has to draw his own map. The adventure part consists of dialogs with NPCs (all characters including the main protagonist are voiced), combining items and solving puzzles.</p>

<p><em>She Bo</em> is a Chinese-made clone of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pang">Pang/Buster Bros.</a>. </p>
<p>As in the original game, the goal in each level is to destroy a number of bouncing balls with a hook cannon. When hit, the balls split into two smaller balls and are only destroyed when already at minimum size. Being touched by any of the balls means losing a life. Some levels feature barriers the balls bounce off of (some of which can be destroyed with the hook), others feature ladders the player character can climb. The game is for up to two players; the second player can join in at any time.</p>
<p>The game's levels are actually direct copies of those in <em>Pang</em>, but with background images of dinosaurs instead of the world's landmarks as in the original. The distribution of power-ups however is different.</p>

<p>Visiting a pub can be really dangerous, especially when not all arguments are solved by bare fists. The participants aim to their places to build the weapons of ultimate destruction - home-made artillery. Also known as... the catapults. </p>
<p>Katapult (meaning "the catapult") is Czech action game for one to four players. It's an action game, similar to Worms series and artillery games like Scorched Earth, but with top-down view and each map fits to single screen. The player controls one of the vehicles - there can be two to four of them battling each other and if no other player is available, the computer assumes the control of the remaining ones. The players can drive their catapults around, avoid obstacles, collect boxes with powerups and ultimately destroy each other, until there is just last one standing. The players get monetary rewards for destroying any enemy catapult, which can be used afterwards to buy more and better weapons, ammunition or armor. </p>
<p>There is also the map editor included that allows to build the custom maps.</p>

<p><em>Tremor for Quake</em> is the follow-up to <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/head-games-publishing-inc">Head Games</a>' <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/aftershock-for-quake">Aftershock for Quake</a>.</p>
<p>Unlike its predecessor which comes with a campaign consisting of three episodes, <em>Tremor</em> is merely a compilation of 500+ individual SP/DM maps (nearly a quarter of which are exclusive to this package) and 100+ QuakeC patches collected from the net, backed up by a basic front-end to launch the game with the selected add-ons.</p>
<p>Interestingly, both the new and the freely-available maps are decked in replacement textures, possibly to avoid a copyright infringement with <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/id-software-inc">id Software</a>.</p>

<p>This expansion disk for <a href="/search/?q=Der+Clou!">The Clue!</a> adds 8 new locations to explore (including Buckingham Palace, Madame Tussaud's wax museum, a train carrying valuables, or that particular London address: 221B Baker Street), more cars and specialists to hire. There are other improvements as well (as those in the planning phase).</p>

<p>This is an add-on for <a href="/search/?q=Fighter+Bomber">Fighter Bomber</a>, featuring 16 challenging missions (attack a submarine, protect an airfield etc.), new ground objects/targets and other enhancements. Includes a mission editor.</p>

<p><em>Carl Lewis' Go for the Gold</em> is an action game allowing you to play as an athlete training for the Olympic decathlon.

A full set of rules for each track and field event (100m sprint, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m sprint, 110 metres hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, 1500m run) is included, as well as contemporary USA and world records, and Carl Lewis' short biography. The final challenge is to go against Carl Lewis himself (who provides comments and tips to the player throughout the game).</p>

<p>Mavlin Malner from Earth was kidnapped by alien in flying saucer to the planet of moguns! The mogun, who looks like pink dragon of slightly humanoid shape admits it's a mistake and Mavlin definitely isn't Gagif Kolkol who was the original target but sees no reason to return Earthling back to his home planet. Mavlin has to find his own way back home... </p>
<p>Mavlin: Vesmírný únik (Mavlin: The Space Escape) is point and click sci-fi adventure where the player assumes role of the aforementioned Mavlin. The player controls Mavlin by six graphically presented commands (shoe for walking, ear for hearing etc.). The game features inventory, but the items can be used only on the spots on the screen, not interacted together. The game contains music, but from the PC speaker only.</p>

<p><em>Motor Mash</em> is a top down cartoon racer for 1 to 4 players by using a multi-tap or by sharing the joypad similar to <a href="/search/?q=micro-machines-2-turbo-tournament">Micro Machines 2</a>.</p>

<p>In each race the goal is to leave your opponents far behind so they go off screen. You can by pushing them off bridges or into hazards. When there is one player left, that player wins and all other players return to start again from that point. Each time credits are awarded depending on how long each player lasted on screen. Lose all credits and you're out of the game, last man standing wins the race.</p>

<p><em>Air / Sea Supremacy</em> is a collection of five games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1812/silent-service/">Silent Service</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16572/p47-thunderbolt/">P47 Thunderbolt</a></li>

<li><a href="/search/?q=Wings">Wings</a> (Amiga only)</li>
</ul>

<p>Released in North America this game is almost the same as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/26547/huckleberry-hound-in-hollywood-capers/">Huckleberry Hound in Hollywood Capers</a> released in Europe, but with a different character. Now it is a small boy, Dino Jnr. He needs to complete 5 stages in each of the 4 worlds (Under World, Sea World, Canyon World, and Sky World). There is no save/load or password access, so this should be performed during single gameplay session. </p>
<p>The goal is to clear each level of gems (increasing your score), hearts (increasing your life energy), and golden statuette (increasing your score also) jumping from the bottom of the level to its top and/or vice versa. Different obstacles such as lethal drops, flying balls, bubbles, rolling rocks, spitting fire, inhabitants of the four worlds, etc. are present, and your jumping skill allows you to avoid them. If you lose your current energy as a heart, you'll be regenerated at the same place with another heart. There are three hearts to exhaust until game over. There are three attempts to continue the game after it is over, but all the scores will be cleared on each attempt.</p>
<p>The highest score is stored. After completing the game once you may replay it again, but the gameplay will be harder. Bonus levels are also available after completing the world stages.</p>

<p><em>Pump Fighters</em> is a simple action game that allows two human players to play against each other: the winner is the one who hit the keyboard keys as fast as possible in order to make the opponent "explode". The Windows version is a late port with improved graphics. Both are freewares.</p>

<p>The 1992 edition of <em>Xmas Lemmings</em> is another free demo intended to promote <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/683/lemmings/">Lemmings</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/684/oh-no-more-lemmings/">Oh No! More Lemmings</a>. It includes four entirely new Christmas-themed levels, in the same style as the <a href="/search/?q=Xmas+Lemmings">1991 demo</a>: <em>Jingle Bells</em> and other Christmas songs as background music and the Lemmings moving through snowscapes dressed in Santa outfits. The holiday levels from the earlier demo were comparatively easy, but this one also includes some brain teasers comparable to levels from the main games' higher difficulties.</p>

<p><em>Backlash: A Turret Gunner Simulation</em> is a first-person space shooter where the player has control of a turret mounted on a spaceship, that must be defended from attack by other enemy ships, asteroids and other dangers. The turret has a limited number of rockets and a main weapon, which uses the same energy as shields; depending on the case the power level can be assigned to one or another system. Rockets (and other power-ups) can be purchased with credits earned by completing missions.</p>

<p>Long time ago, the people of Yoneda lived in peace protected by the magical Silver Talisman, created by the Council of the Grand Wizards. As the power-hungry mages split into the rivaling Council of Light and the League of Darkness, a war broke out, lasting many generations. Chaos was brought unto the land as the Talisman was stolen. Retrieve it from the clutches of evil to restore order.</p>
<p><em>Legend of the Silver Talisman</em> is an action game (with light RPG mechanics) inspired by coin-operated machine hit <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1837/gauntlet/">Gauntlet</a>, with visuals similar to <a href="/search/?q=Ultima+6">Ultima 6</a>. Two players (the other character goes under computer control in single player mode) compete over items and power-ups to be found in enemy infested dungeon mazes: swords, wands, shields, helmets, armor, scrolls and potions. Combat is done by simply running into the creature/player.</p>
<p>The first episode (out of 3) was released as shareware. From 2003 the full game is available as freeware.</p>

<p><em>Shogi Master</em> is a computer version of the board game of shōgi, for one player (against the computer), or two players (against each other).</p>
<p>If you are new to shōgi, better start by one of the three lessons adapted by Takojima Akiko from the book "Shogi for beginners" written by John Fairbairn (Ishi also sells shōgi and go-related literature, such as Shogi World magazine). The game also features an online help and the ability to toggle (F4 Key) between Japanese and English characters written on the pieces. Once you're familiar with the pieces and the rules, select your opponent level (1 to 6) and voila !</p>
<p>Notice that you can also record and replay your games (files are saved in a standard game format) as well as example games. <em>Shogi Master</em>'s user interface is very close to another Ishi Press release, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/50077/go-simulator/">Go Simulator</a>.</p>

<p><em>Sexy Droids</em> continues the idea started in <a href="/search/?q=Blue+Angel+69">Blue Angel 69</a>, which combines the principle of <a href="/search/?q=Maxit">Maxit</a> with pictures of sexy female androids. Now, there are 15 levels with new pictures. The player takes the role of person who plays a boardgame with an android. If the player wins, an exposed picture of the opponent is displayed. </p>
<p>The gameplay of each level takes place on a 8x8 board. Each tile on the board contains a positive or negative point value ranging from 1 to 11. The object of the game is to earn as many points as possible by moving a marker to a non-empty space taking turns. The first player is only able to move the marker horizontally, and the second player can only move the marker vertically. The game ends when no more moves are possible, and the player with the most points wins.</p>

<p><em>TNN Outdoors Bass Tournament '96</em> is the sequel to <a href="/search/?q=TNN+Bass+Tournament+of+Champions">TNN Bass Tournament of Champions</a>. It shares many elements with the PC game of the same name, but that version has an isometric-style map and a full 3D view for the fishing sequences. Just like the original game it is a fishing simulator that allows the player to access a free fishing mode or to participate in a fishing tournament. First, equipment needs to be bought. It consists of lures, rods, reels, lines and boats. Better items can only be acquired by winning money in tournaments.</p>
<p>After selecting the equipment the game takes the player to a top-down map where one of the six available lakes can be explored. The included lakes exist in real life. They are Lake Okeechobee, Truman Reservoir, Lake Erie West, Dale Hollow, Lake Eufaula, and Bull Shoals. Through a monitor an appropriate spot for fishing can be found. Once set, the game then switches to a 3rd-person over the shoulder view, similar to the earlier SNES version instead of the previous Genesis game. Casting is done through a power meter and it is possible to do bad casts that need to be retried. Once in the water the camera switches to a top-down view inside the water. Players can watch the bottom surface and fish swimming by. When reeling in one of five available speeds can be chosen and the bait can still be moved. The game starts at 7.30 in the morning and the boat needs to return in time to weigh the fish.</p>
<p>In the free fishing mode various parameters can be defined such as the season, weather, starting time and wind strength. In a tournament these change dynamically. The game includes a music player for the soundtrack.</p>

<p>Aimed at pre-school/kindergarten ages and up, the four number games in this release provide a variety of ways to solve simple number problems. "Munch" requires navigating a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pac+Man">Pac Man</a>-like figure to the correct answer and eating it. "Tiny Bomb" involves typing in answers to multiplication, addition or subtraction problems before the fuse burns down and the bomb explodes. "Ozzie Koala" requires navigating a koala to the correct answer and pointing at it. "Bomb" is much the same as "Tiny Bomb" but introduces division problems as well. Each game lets you choose a difficulty level, allowing various skill levels to be challenged.</p>

<p>You are brave warrior Armorik, seeking to immortalize your name in the book of Viking legends. Luckily for you, the great god Thor has reviewed your application and mulled over your case. Thor agrees to reward you with eternal fame... provided that you single-handedly conquer the eight territories of the North.  </p>
<p>Your conquests can be tackled in any order. Each location is composed of multiple interlinked screens, and is named for its prevailing environment: Cemetery, Fire, Mountain, Cave, Manor House, Ice, Forest, and Castle. Armed only with throwing knives, Armorik must explore each region thoroughly, collect treasure guarded by fiends and natural hazards, find the hidden key, and reach the exit unharmed - all in less than two and a half minutes.</p>
<p>This strict time limit, along with quick enemies that respawn every few seconds, multiple monsters and turrets that aim at you from different angles, and every hit being instantly lethal (requiring you to restart the chosen level) - all combine to create an arcade-style platform game where survival requires memorization, quick wits, agility and patience.</p>

<p><em>MicroLeague Wrestling</em> is a wrestling game, the very first one licensed by the World Wrestling Federation. The game can be played by one or two players and comes with two possible match-ups, each with a separate match disk. There is Hulk Hogan versus "Macho Man" Randy Savage (all platforms) and Hulk Hogan versus "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff (Atari ST/C64). For DOS and Amiga the second match is Hogan vs. Dibiase. A bout can last 10, 20 or 60 minutes.</p>
<p>Game presentation before, during, and after fights is modeled after WWF TV shows and features digitized stills of actual WWF personalities, including wrestlers, managers, interviewers, commentators and announcers. Digitized images illustrate on-camera interviews, the wrestlers' entrances (complete with renditions of their themes), ringside commentary, and the reactions of the crowd.</p>
<p>During a fight, the game follows an unusual approach: Instead of controlling a wrestler directly, players select a move to perform from a menu. The computer decides if it was a success or not and the result is shown via a digitized picture.</p>

<p><em>Power Struggle</em> allows you to compete against a friend or the computer for World domination as either the West or the East. After choosing your side you are presented with a map of the World. The countries belonging to the West are in green, the countries belonging to the East are red and neutral countries are white. Your aim is to take over as many countries as you can while your opponent is doing the same.</p>
<p>You are presented with icons and within a time limit must decide how to take over countries, these options are attack, supply, apply political influence or build factories and armies. Once you have both made your choices the orders are executed. Although you can take over countries your opponent can take yours over and vice versa so holding on to them is part of the challenge as well.</p>

<p><em>Airline Simulator</em> is a direct descendant of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/32/sublogic/">subLOGIC's</a>
<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2805/flight-assignment-airline-transport-pilot/">Airline Transport Pilot</a>, as it's based on the same 'engine'. The avionics in <em>Airline Simulator</em> have been improved and feature a flight management computer, primary flight information screen, electronic flight information system and an engines &amp; fuel panel all of which are known by acronyms FMC, PFI, EFIS &amp; EICAS. The simulator expects the player to be familiar with all aspects of flying a passenger aircraft from radio navigation to fuel burn calculations and load-out sheets, both of which - and more - must be completed before take-off. </p>
<p>In flight <em>Airline Simulator</em> monitors the pilots performance in detail allowing their ability to be rated, changes weather conditions in-flight adjusting, for example, in-flight turbulence as the player ascends/descends through cloud levels, and simulates various equipment failures. </p>
<p>There is just one aircraft supplied with <em>Airline Simulator</em>, the Boeing 747-400. This is not a limitation as it would be in some simulations as the objective in this simulation is to give the player the prepare, plan and fly trans-Atlantic routes. <em>Airline Simulator</em> comes with over ninety routes, which in-game are called careers, and which all feature air traffic control voice transmissions. In addition the package includes shareware utilities to create and modify scenery, airports, flights, routes, navigation aids, ATC voices etc which can be used to extend the simulator world wide.</p>
<p><em>Airline Simulator</em> uses subLOGIC's scenery files which cover mainly Europe and few North American destinations, one of which is New York. (subLOGIC's USA East/West scenery was NOT included).</p>
<p>The simulator supports the 3DAGS 3D software which allows the player to fly with 3D glasses.</p>

<p>This expansion for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4540/fleet-defender/">Fleet Defender</a> adds the Indian Ocean and Korean Peninsula maps with six campaigns, US Pacific Fleet F-14 units (for the player to join) and a mission builder.</p>

<p>The D.R.A.G.O.N. Force is a mercenary team which only takes the most dangerous jobs. During the course of this game, they will take on twelve missions against drug barons and terrorists. The goals vary from target elimination to rescuing hostages.</p>
<p><em>D.R.A.G.O.N. Force</em> is a turn-based tactics game. During each round, the player assigns orders to the men, e.g. moving, firing or special actions, which are then simultaneously (together with the AI's choices) performed. There is a strategical map (shows the whole mission area) and the closer zoomed in tactical map. As expected, the three fire commands are especially important: the usual direct fire at an enemy, targeting a specific spot or an opportunity fire which gets triggered by passing by enemies. The environment, e.g. hedges buildings, may be used as cover and affects the line of sight.</p>
<p>Before each mission, the player has to choose seven soldiers from a pool of 14. Each soldier has different training and therefore a different rating in the abilities medicine, machine guns, anti-tank weapons, scouting, sharpshooting, demolition and close combat. The next step is giving them equipment from a relatively expansive arsenal. The key to success is to have a mix of soldiers with the right equipment (obviously a soldier with low sharpshooting skill should not use a sniper rifle) which are prepared for all possible situations.</p>

<p><em>Desert Storm with Coalition Command</em> consists actually of two different programs, <em>Desert Storm</em> and <em>Coalition Command</em>. <em>Desert Storm</em> is the focus of the release and a database about the Gulf War. It cites the complete official report from the Pentagon to the Congress and adds multimedia (sound bites and photographs).</p>
<p>More of interest to our own database is <em>Coalition Command</em> which is an educational game about the Gulf War, aiming to give insights to how a war is planned and managed on the command level.
The player takes place in a command center and can influence the war effort. If no action is taken, the game assumes a historical course of war. So the player basically can manage the media with press releases; talk to Bush, Quayle, Cheney and Powell on the phone and change unit deployment on the map (limited to four options except for air operations). After the inevitable victory of the US forces, the game rates the player's performance. While the game is serious in nature, vice-president Quayle acts as comic relief.</p>

<p><em>Pol-Gol!</em> is the successor to the 8-bit soccer management game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/60679/trener/">Trener</a>. The game allows you to choose one of the following leagues: Polish, English, German, Italian, Spanish and French, European League and League of Nations. You can also create your own league of any size with any number of 288 teams available in the game. The names of the players are randomly assigned at the beginning of the first season.</p>
<p>The game contains all of the club's finances' standard options as well as more uncommon ones such as the possibility of earning on stadium demolition and bookmaker betting, as well as donations of local authorities, or huge penalties for fans brawl. Other options include the ability to hire diverse staff, including coaches, a psychologist, fan club manager or financial adviser. The only graphical element is the 2D pitch viewpoint, which is only available during matches. During the game two bouncers and ball are shown moving around the pitch. Messages display the names of the players on the ball, and the most important events, such as yellow cards. Statistics are updated in real time.</p>
<p>The rest is in text mode at a resolution of 640x480. The game has no sound effects and music and is the Polish language only. It contains a built-in players and clubs editor.</p>

<p><em>Point of Attack</em> is a wargame set in the Middle East, featuring a set of scenarios which depict actual and hypothetical scenarios (e.g. Desert Storm or another war between Israel and Syria). This is one of those programs which views itself as simulation first and game later. Therefore the focus is on simulating tactics and the impact of all those smaller and bigger influences, including morale, air superiority, supply lines and electronic warfare.</p>
<p>Regarding gameplay, it follows the usual wargame steps: the player gives movement and attack orders to each units on a top-down map with abstract symbols. After ending the round, all orders are performed.
Each turn represents one minute, meaning a match progresses relatively slow. The editor can be used to build new maps.</p>

<p><em>Sid Meier CD Edition</em> is a compilation of the following games:</p>
<ul>
</ul>

<p><em>War Planets: Age of Chaos</em> is a real-time strategy game directly based on the Trendmaster's <em>War Planets</em> toy line. It offers four armies each with their own planet, fighting each other. Krag are based on Rock, Biowolf on Bone, Kryos on Ice, and Darkones on the planet Beast. For each race scenario there are three practice levels followed by a normal level, and then a new one is opened up after each win. Each planet consists of three defense levels and then six ones were the other planets need to be weakened and defeated.</p>
<p>At the start of the game units are requisitioned ahead of time and are called in via a teleporter pad. Moving is done with a right click, shooting with the left mouse button. The troops need to be positioned carefully as they hurt each other when they are in a line of friendly fire. Only one unit can be moved at a time. Six types of units are offered per planet, and the amount that can be brought in depends on the energy available for teleportation. Missions generally revolve around defending or conquering a facility.</p>
<p>Rock has access to a mine tower, hovercraft, stealth tank, dozer, hero, and drone. Bone deploys a missile launcher, disk thrower, war dog, sawblade tank, hero, and drone. Ice enters battles with a jump jet launcher, death spinner, tank, grappletank, hero, and drone. Finally, Beast uses a darkjet launcher, darkwhaler, darktank, darklord, darkhero, and a drone.</p>

<p>Just as the picnic baskets have been laid out, hordes of gigantic ants start swarming in from the anthills all around.  Your job is simple - exterminate!  Move quickly through the playfield and dispose of the vermin, before they become too much to deal with.  </p>
<p>Armed with a bulldozer (to flatten those anthills), a bucket of water (ants can't swim), and an unlimited supply of particularly potent ant spray, you must protect the picnic baskets at all costs.  The ant colonies will spread if not dealt with quickly, and if all the baskets are devoured, it's all over.</p>
<p>The shareware release features 10 levels, out of 100 in the complete version.</p>

<p><em>Turbo Champions</em> is a straight and to-the-point sports racer: you compete against the clock in a variety of courses, navigating tunnels and sharp turns while avoiding other cars, gas trucks, various road obstacles and the likes. Highlight features include detailed animations for multiple types of slides and crashes, a fast graphical engine that smoothly zooms sprites and text (and scales with CPU power), and a course designer where you create, edit and customize your own tracks.</p>

<p><em>Paku Paku</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> conversion written to run on hardware three decades older than itself. Starting out as a Retrochallenge 2011 Winter Warmup entry to demonstrate 16-color graphics programming using the CGA's unofficial low-resolution mode, it grew into a full game with support for all major graphics and sound hardware of the early PC era, fully playable even on the very first IBM PC and compatible machines.</p>
<p>The game mechanics, logic, sprites, animations, and the ghosts' behavior and "personalities" are all adapted to work within the confines of the lower resolution game grid, trying to stay as faithful as possible to the original arcade version. The familiar premise is fully intact: clear the maze of dots while avoiding the four ghosts, use the power pills to hunt them down, and grab the fruit bonuses when you can. The game was released for free as "Cardware", and the Turbo Pascal / assembly sources are included and placed in the public domain.</p>

<p>This BattleSet for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/27106/harpoon-ii/">Harpoon II</a> is a mission pack featuring 15 hypothetical post-Cold War scenarios focusing on hostilities between the various countries with influence zones in the Western Pacific: USA, Russia, China, North &amp; South Korea, Vietnam, Japan and others. The database was updated with additional platforms (ships, subs, aircraft), weapons &amp; sensors.</p>

<p><em>Orda: Severnyi Veter</em>, also known as <em>Horde: The Northern Wind</em>, is a real-time strategy game that is very similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II</a>. It is set in the world of Semirechye (Russian for "Land of the Seven Rivers"), a medieval fantasy setting loosely based on Slavic folk tales, and the player, who takes on the role of a tribe leader, must build up settlements, explore and interact with his neighbours, and eventually uncover the main plot of the game. Unlike other RTS games, there are no missions; the world is divided into 9 large maps (in a 3x3 pattern) and the player's units can traverse between them at any time, given that the path between the two adjacent maps is not obstructed. Once the player's alter ego leader unit moves into a new map, control of the settlement and all remaining units in the previous map is relegated to the AI. There is a vague global goal of slaying the dragon, but as the game progresses, the player has to figure out how to find said dragon and deal with it, introducing a non-linear element to the gameplay.</p>
<p>There are detailed elements to the visual style and how it influences the gameplay. Buildings catch fire if attacked by flame weapons, such as lighted arrows or ballista bolts, as opposed to fire as a generic damage indicator. The flames may then spread to adjacent structures if the wind is blowing in that direction, thus causing a large fire in the settlement; forest fires are possible as well. Flags on all structures are animated, and are affected by changes in the direction of the wind; units leave tracks on sandy river banks etc. etc. Foot soldiers can move through the woods (at a lower speed than on open terrain), although it can become dangerous, as wolves and bears easily chew up a troop of inexperienced soldiers wandering in the forest.</p>
<p>The economy system is a bit more complicated than what is usually found in similar games. Generally, the player has to pay more attention to the management of their settlement, especially early on in the game. There are four types of resources: ore, wood, gold and population. The first three are collected in a regular way: workers chop down trees and carry sacks of gold and ore from the mines to the town centre. The only real difference is that the player must first construct a mine over a gold or ore deposit to be able to collect those resources. As for population, building farms in <em>Horde</em> does not increase the number of units that can be built or trained, but adds to the overall population growth in the settlement. Every time a worker or a soldier is trained he is recruited from the available population, making it a resource as well. The same goes for newly built structures (except farms), which require a varying number of people to operate them. Population also pays taxes (in all three other resources, not just gold), so the more populated a settlement is, the more resources the player can get. Some of the taxes are spent to pay salaries to the army and workers (this time only in gold). Tax collection and payments are done automatically.</p>
<p>Base construction can be described as a mixture between <em>Warcraft</em> and <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>. The player's castle functions both as a town hall and a construction yard, able, on one hand, to train workers and store resources, and to issue construction orders on the other. Once a building is placed down, it begins construction by itself, without the need for workers; the same goes for building repairs. All buildings, with the exception of mines and lumber mills, can only be constructed within a certain range of the castle. Some buildings like the barracks or the factory can somewhat expand this radius, but the size of the settlement is still limited. There can be one castle per map, and thus one settlement, although the player may destroy their current castle and build a new one elsewhere. However, in this case all the old buildings that remain outside the new castle's radius will be abandoned and will dilapidate slowly until completely destroyed.</p>
<p>When the player encounters other factions that populate the world, combat is not the only option. Every newly encountered nation is initially neutral towards the player. This status can be changed via the diplomacy option; the player can declare a war, propose an alliance, or surrender and become a vassal of an overwhelming opponent. Diplomacy options are limited but they are quite useful, as conflicts can be seldom resolved by complete decimation of an opponent. It is up to the player to experiment with different approaches and find out what fits best in each situation.</p>
<p>Battles, especially when they involve large numbers of units, are rather chaotic, as units often seem to ignore the player's orders in the heat of battle. Up to 400 units can be selected at a time, and group management is simplified by the ability to exclude entire unit types from a group by a mouse click. Units cannot be upgraded, but they will gain experience over time, making them stronger, more resistant and able to heal wounds.</p>
<p>While exploring the world, the player can find various items that are either quest- or story-related, or allow the use of special abilities like the summoning of magical allies, revealing parts of the map etc. On some maps, different creatures can be found that, upon their release, will either join the player or attack at random. In some places there are cryptic hints engraved in stones that should help the player in their quest; important information can also be obtained from ancient scrolls that are found in possession of some of the wizards.</p>

<p>The demo version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness</a> contains two 3-mission campaigns, one for each side, with unique missions that are not included in the retail version of the game. The campaigns are more or less comparable to Act I of respective sides' full campaigns, but the maps, objectives and briefing text are not the same. This release also includes a limited version of the Map Editor that does not allow to save user created maps, or use any units, structures or terrain types not featured in the demo. A unique feature in the demo is a built-in preview slide show that describes the full game; some of the images show old, pre-release graphics of certain units and structures.</p>
<p>The demo was released both as an Internet download (which is no longer available from Blizzards FTP site for some reason) and on CD for retail distribution. The cut-down Internet version does not have voice-over narration in briefings and the preview slide show, and also uses a slide-show version of the introduction movie. The CD version, on the other hand, does not have these limitations and also includes CD Audio soundtrack and previews of other Blizzard products.</p>

<p><em>Brandon's Big Lunchbox</em> is an educational game for children age 3 to 7. Included are 26 games to help with reading and math skills.</p>
<p>The reading games include variations on reading and memory skills, matching words, recognizing letters, and finding letters on the keyboard. Some of the games are checked by the computer, however some of the reading games are designed to be played with a parent who can confirm pronunciation and understanding of words provided. The reading games also allow the words that are used to be customized.</p>
<p>The math games feature several variations of problem solving and number recognition. These games provide simple math problems to solve, show objects on the screen that need to be counted, and some simple word problems. There are also a few games intended to be fun such as a matching game, a game where the player can specify dance moves for an alien, and an animated fishing display.</p>

<p><em>Pocahontas</em> is a side-scrolling platformer based on the Native American Indian later made famous in a Disney movie by the same name. The player alternates between Pocahontas and John Smith to complete seven missions. In levels one, two and four, Pocahontas needs to collect feathers for a Shaman woman to receive magic cards, travel through the forest while avoiding the spirit beat, and shake off a boy who chases her to prevent her from reaching the white man's camp respectively. John Smith is playable in the levels three, five and six. In the third level the American explorer needs to shoot animals running and passing by, on separate planes, by aiming his gun with the mouse. He needs to shoot enough animals to feed his men before it gets dark. The objective is the same in the fifth level, but there he is in a canoe and needs to catch fish. In the sixth level he leaps over ravines and across rivers until he meets Pocahontas. Together, they help each other cross a lake. In the final level both characters are controlled as they need to work together to catch a bear.</p>
<p>Next to regular platforming mechanics such as running, climbing, jumping and swinging, there are some minor puzzle elements involving items that are selected from the bottom of the screen. That part also holds a progress bar to show how close the objectives are. Characters are generally controlled with four movement keys. The mouse cursor is visible on the screen and acts as a guide to show the possible actions. Clicking left or right offers different actions.</p>

<p><em>Space Chase Part One: City Under Siege</em> is the first episode of the shareware side-scrolling platform game, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/162584/space-chase/">Space Chase</a>, which seems to have been greatly inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Apogee">Apogee's</a> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14344/duke-nukum-episode-1-shrapnel-city/">Duke Nukem</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/236/bio-menace/">Bio Menace</a>. The story of <em>Space Chase</em> takes place in the future. The protagonist, Jason Storm, was born on a backwater planet and joined the army in hopes for a better life. He quickly rose through the ranks, first as a Marine and then as a Spec Ops operative. He became so good at doing his job that his superiors considered him dangerous, and eventually he was discharged from the military at the rank of Major. Now turned freelance, Jason Storm is tasked with thwarting the plans of an evil corporation, conveniently called Evil Guys, Inc., that is bent on world (galactic?) domination. The first episode, as the title suggests, takes place in a large futuristic city.</p>
<p>The gameplay is rather typical and consists of running and jumping around the levels, collecting ammo, keys, health and various bonus items, and battling (or avoiding) monsters. The visual design bears a great similarity to the first <em>Duke Nukem</em> game, from the appearance of the main character and many monsters to the Pepsi cans that replenish Jason Storm's health (compare to Cola cans in <em>Duke Nukem</em> games). However, there are differences as well: the ammo is limited, and some monsters can only be temporarily knocked out but not dispatched for good, so the players sometimes have to avoid the enemies rather than fight, and plan their progress more carefully. The levels are also quite large and have many optional areas that contain non-essential powerups (like bonus items that only add to the overall score) which the player might decide to skip in order to conserve ammo. Luckily, the game can be saved at any point in the level, making playing a bit easier.</p>
<p><em>Space Chase</em> was distributed per the <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,2152/">Scott Miller</a> model, with the unregistered first episode being essentially a free stand-alone game. <em>City Under Siege</em> consists of ten levels, and subsequent registered episodes also have ten levels each. Also, cheat codes are not available in the unregistered version.</p>

<p><em>Space Miner</em> is a single-player shareware top-down scrolling space shooter. The story behind this game is that the mega corporations of the future have declared regions of space containing mega-ore as being off-limits to private firms. The player takes the role of a third generation independent miner who chooses to mine the ore in restricted space. This sets the scene for a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Galaxian">Galaxian</a>-style game in which most, but not all of the nasties come down the screen intent on destroying the player's craft. While shooting the baddies the player must also collect the pieces of ore which flow down the screen.</p>

<p><em>Pure-Stat College Basketball</em> is a sports simulation that allows you to replay individual games or entire basketball seasons, from the past or present, while keeping a permanent record of your team's stats using the built in Stat Compiler. In this simulation, you can re-live the excitement of the UCLA teams from the 1960's through the teams of the 80's.</p>
<p>The game features 20 "all-time great" teams (as of 1987). Game play features 5 on 5 games across three game modes, 1 on 1, 1 vs CPU, and CPU vs CPU. The stat compiler was fairly robust for the time period and tracks steals, blocked shots, assist, rebounds, field goal percentage, foul shot percentage, and time played. The game has managerial aspects to it in that you choose your offensive or defensive play, and then let the computer figure out the play.</p>
<p>There was an optional team/trade players disk as well.</p>

<p><em>Sports Trivia</em> is a shareware quiz game for one to four players. It is one of a series of quizzes published by Software Creations in their <em>Trivia Shell</em> series of games. The quiz is customizable. It has three levels of difficulty, a beginner mode where the answers are all True/False, an intermediate mode where the answers are multiple choice, and an advanced mode where the answer has to be manually typed in. The standard number of questions in a game is thirty but this can be changed. Players can also select the sports they wish to answer questions on.</p>
<p>The game has an optional 'Humour Mode' and a high score table. It can be played by either keyboard or mouse. The shareware version of the game has just one hundred and five questions with additional questions being made available when the full game is purchased, three hundred in the Classic version and six hundred in the Deluxe version.</p>

<p><em>Bulls-eye!!</em> is a shareware archery game for one or two players. The left and right arrows are used to aim an arrow at the target and then the Enter key needs to be pressed to fire the arrow. Aiming is complicated by the wind which blows from left or right with varying intensity, and by draft which deflects the arrows up or down. After compensating for the wind the best time to fire is when there is little or no draft but in this game the this changes rapidly so timing of the shot is essential. There is no end to the game, it continues until the player(s) select either a new game of choose to exit.</p>

<p><em>R.S.A Darts</em> is a shareware darts game from South Africa for one to four players. The game is entirely mouse controlled. As with many other darts games the mouse cursor is used to aim the dart but the cursor oscillates and jiggles about so that aiming is not precise and the player must time their shot carefully. The computer can take the role of one of the players and there is an option to adjust the computer's skill to keep the game interesting. There is no in-game help facility but the games are explained in the accompanying documentation.</p>
<p>In addition to the usual 301 &amp; 501 games <em>R.S.A Darts</em> also features:* Killer — a game in which only the numbers ten and over, doubles, trebles and the bull count. The player must hit the number three times before being able to score on it. When the opponent has also hit the same number three times it is out of play and scores for nether player. This game is also known as Mickey Mouse or Cricket.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>N.J.M. — a South African game in which each player selects a number by throwing a dart at the board left handed. They then score up to four points for themselves by hitting their own number and take points from their opponent by hitting that number. The objective is to knock their opponent out by reducing their point total to below zero. This game is also known as Russian Killer.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Records — this is a single player game which records either the highest score with 3 darts, the highest score with 6 darts, the fewest number of darts needed to hit all the numbers from 1 - 20, and the least number of darts needed to throw ten bull's-eyes.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Defense</em> is a game of American football that can be played by two or four players, or by one player vs the computer. It was released as shareware. The game's documentation says that it aims to be realistic as opposed to pretty with the player controlling the disposition of players, the plays and making the tackles. There are also options for defensive and offensive formations which can be player selected or the computer can choose between them automatically. <em>Defense</em> is always played left to right across the screen with the computer's team always being on the left.</p>
<p>The game can be controlled via keyboard, mouse, joystick(s) and combinations of these devices depending on the number of people playing. The field of play is viewed top-down and is divided into zones, such as the rush zone, the line zone, the linebacker zone and the safety zone, into which players are placed. As a ball carrier attempts to run the length of the field they pass through these zones and the player instructs their player(s) to tackle / stop them via designated HIT keys. </p>
<p>There is a comprehensive instruction document in Word format that accompanies the game. It deals with game tactics such as rushing, defensive signal calling, moving players, blocking and more.</p>

<p><em>Most Certainly Not Pool II</em> is not a pool game. It is a single-player game based around three balls on a sort of table but it is not a pool game. It is more of a time limited puzzle with balls than a pool game. In a rectangular play area are one red ball, one blue ball, one red hole, one blue hole and one greyish cue ball. The object is to knock the red ball into the red hole, the blue ball into the blue hole, or both balls into their respective holes using the cue ball. </p>
<p>The cue ball is controlled by the arrow keys. The longer a key is held down then the faster it moves in a particular direction. Time is limited and to continue to the next level the task must be achieved before time runs out. Points are scored for potting a ball and a bonus is awarded for any time remaining on the clock, this turns into a penalty if the time has expired and become negative. The game is entirely keyboard controlled. There is no save game feature but there is a high score table.</p>

The ship can fly left or right and the objective is to destroy all the alien ships and rescue the people that are being abducted. When a level is completed the player moves on to the next and continues until either all levels have been played or they exhaust all their available lives.</p>

<p>After the game setup screens, how many players, skill level, and sound effects to be turned on or off etc. the player is presented with an overhead view of the first hole. At the press of a key this switches to the view from the pin. There is a caddy system which automatically selects the appropriate club based on distance to the pin, this can be changed by the player to allow for hazards and weather conditions.

Pool names such as Straight, End Kick, Side Bank and so on are given to various types of shot. Weighting factors for each type of shot can be set in the range 0, meaning that the shot will never be played by the computer, to 99 which means that this shot is most favoured.</p>

<p><em>Retro City Rampage</em> is an open-world game inspired by the <a href="/search/?q=Grand+Theft+Auto">Grand Theft Auto series</a> that combines driving with fighting and shooting in a retro 8-bit style. Originally started as a homebrew NES <a href="/search/?q=demake">demake</a> of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5189/grand-theft-auto-iii/">Grand Theft Auto III</a>, it was eventually developed into a full game. The game is set in eighties and the protagonist is a mullet-styled gangster who wreaks havoc in Theftropolis city. It draws many elements from the series it was inspired by, such as the ability to hijack any car, fight on foot with melee and ranged weapons, and shake off the law when too many crimes are committed.</p>
<p>The main story mode consists of a number of missions that involve heists, extortion, but for instance also helping out Doc Brown from the <a href="/search/?q=Back+to+the+Future">Back to the Future</a> movies to help repair his time travel car. The game has a quirky style and hectic pace, and is filled to the brim references to popular culture, especially movies, celebrities and other games with many cameo appearances. Next to the main mission various side missions can be taken on or the city can be explored in full at the player's leisure. During certain parts 30 challenges can be triggered where an objective needs to be completed in a short time, such as driving around a tank or getting air time shooting a bazooka. These can later be replayed as arcade challenges from the main menu. In addition there is a free roaming mode with the maximum amount of money right from the start.</p>
<p>The protagonist, dubbed The Player, can fight with his fists and other melee weapons, or shoot a large variety of guns. There are about 25 in total. These are collected while playing or are bought in shops. There is also a cover system where it is possible to duck behind objects and fire quickly. Any car or bike of the 40 available can be taken over and pedestrians can be mowed down, leaving behind money. The gun targeting has a lock system where it is possible to strafe around an opponent without losing the target direction. Other options include the ability to jump, and pick up and throw objects, including pedestrians. Committing too many crimes raises a threat meter causing the police force to arrive in increasingly larger numbers. The main character can buy various customizations, play arcade games or gamble at the casino. There are five special, permanent power-ups such as "Speed 'Kills' Shoes" for faster speed that are discovered or bought throughout the game. Vehicles can be repainted at spray garages, but cops can also be shaken off by collecting cop cloaking devices that make them lose the trail. Health is replenished by collecting hearts or buying food at vending machines.</p>
<p>In November 2014 <em>Retro City Rampage: DX</em> was launched, a new version for all previous platforms and introducing new platforms. It is a re-mastered version with the ability to switch to the original version of the game in the options. It was originally launched as the initial version for the 3DS platform earlier that year. Changes include faster vehicles, more checkpoints, tutorials, hint screens and tweaked missions, challenges, visual effects, visual enhancements and difficulty. Weapons can be selected from a grid instead of cycling through them and there is a new UI for the handheld version, including zoom, touch and a dynamic camera. There are more video filters options and two additional graphics modes: RETRO+ and 8-BIT. Weapons have been rebalanced and it is now possible to jump right away after shooting. The update also introduces parking garages where 54 cars can be parked.</p>

<p>The speech pack for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3438/realms-of-arkania-star-trail/">Star Trail</a> adds several megabytes of digitized speech to the game, including dialogue for animated sequences and magic incantations during gameplay. It is to be used with the floppy disk release; CD-ROM releases include the speech already.</p>

<p><em>Jump!</em> is an arcade game of guiding a permanently bouncing ball through a vertically scrolling field of obstacles.

Player can freely control the ball's movement in a horizontal direction and affect the speed of vertical movement. Features of the field include holes which make the player lose a ball upon contact, arrows that hasten the ball or reverse vertical movement, black holes that work as teleporters, walls that block ball movement, switches that make some walls disappear, etc.</p>

<p><em>Drag Race Eliminator</em> is a drag racing simulation. In the game the player controls one of 5 different types of drag racing cars and needs to win races against either a human or computer opponent. The player controls the throttle and can shift; depending on which car is being used there are either 2, 3, or 4 gears. The winner of each race is the car to cross the finish line first; the start is signaled by a green light, but if a car starts prior to the green light it is disqualified. The game is intended to be authentic to the sport of drag racing and like the real thing times the races to 1/1000 of a second. The game includes national drag racing records as of the year it was released as the defaults in the high score table; if the player is able to beat any of these records, his name will be added to the list accordingly (it is also possible to restore the list to the defaults).</p>

<p><em>King's Bounty 2</em> is an unofficial game inspired by <a href="/search/?q=New+World+Computing">New World Computing's</a> <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/kings-bounty">King's Bounty</a> that was created in 1992-1993 by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/549785/sergei-prokofiev/">Sergei Prokofiev</a>, a programmer based in Kharkov (Ukraine). The game is neither a remake nor a sequel to the original <em>King's Bounty</em>, but rather it expands on the ideas of its inspiration while adding new, unique elements. Custom EGA graphics that had been made for <em>King's Bounty 2</em> often draw inspiration from Russian/Slavic folk tales.</p>
<p>The game isn't shy of its rather clichéd plot. An evil wizard has stolen an important MacGuffin (which isn't even named) from the King, and hid it away in the Dark Castle on a lost continent. The player, taking the role of the King's trusted knight, must find the castle, defeat the wizard and bring the artifact back. Before this can be done however, the continent where the Dark Castle is located must be found. To this end, the player must find five pieces of an ancient map that have been scattered across other continents. Each continent's Lord of the Land might help obtaining a piece of the map, but will request a favour or two in return, and there are other quests to complete on each continent as well.</p>
<p><em>King's Bounty 2</em> was supposed to be split into two parts, with the first concerning the search for the map pieces, and the second would take place on the lost continent. However, apparently only the first part was completed and released to the public. The game had been a free, non-commercial project from the start, so splitting it into parts was not done as a step towards the shareware model, but rather because of free time considerations.</p>
<p>The game retains many familiar elements from <em>King's Bounty</em>. The player roams the land, buys supplies in towns, hires troops, finds treasure chests, and gets contracts to capture castles in order to earn money and reputation to maintain a large, loyal fighting force. Additionally, the player can buy and sell different goods in towns for a profit, and hire workers to help clear the various terrain obstacles (thus, woodcutters can clear forests, carpenters build bridges over water, stonecutters lay passages through mountains). While there are no player classes in the game, spells can be either found in chests and scrolls, or bought in some of the towns to be used at any time. However, to use magic effectively the player must find a benevolent wizard whose training increases the player's spell power.</p>
<p>The most common enemies in the game are local feudal lords who are initially neutral to the player but will start chasing and eventually attack when get annoyed by the player's trespassing on their premises. Both the player's and the enemies' armies may consist of a wide variety of creatures, including peasants, mercenaries, soldiers and animals, as well as magical creatures and undead. Each continent has a number of creature dwellings where units can be hired into the player's army. Siege weapons are bought in towns, just like in <em>King's Bounty</em>. Other than direct combat, there are encounters with evil warlocks that can cause trouble for the player, and negative spells in some of the scrolls.</p>
<p>A unique feature of <em>King's Bounty 2</em> is that it uses a random map generator to create a new world each time it is played. There are four difficulty settings, the first three of which are progressively more difficult "training" modes, while the fourth is considered to be the real playing experience. Only the fourth difficulty level was supposed to unlock the lost continent and the final battle with the wizard.</p>

<p><em>Inwestor</em> is a simulation of the Polish stock exchange and it deals with the ins and outs of investing in the stock market. The game was developed in cooperation with several economic universities and is based on information from several books on investing.

The game has an extensive supply-and-demand algorithm, takes into account the impact of the trend and the psychology of investors in the development of the market, the ability to interpret professional stock market valuation ratios, built-in software for stock market analysis and drawing the graphs. The visual presentation is done through images, text and graphs.</p>

<p><em>Bastion</em> is a strategy game with the plot modeled on <a href="/search/?q=Lord+of+the+Rings">Lord of the Rings</a>.

After many years the ring was found by Hobr and representatives of all races gathered to resist the rule. The game plays like a strategy board game with the military figures moving around the map. Units can be given simple commands. The fight proceeds by displaying messages. Besides the traditional units the player can use magic. There are 12 scenarios in total.</p>

<p>The United Federation of Planets and The Klingon Empire are at war. Your mission is to annihilate Klingon presence from the known galaxy. <em>Visual Star Trek</em> is a turn-based strategy game based on the classic <em>Star Trek</em> games like <a href="/search/?q=Super+Star+Trek">Super Star Trek</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5811/ega-trek/">EGA Trek</a>. Unlike its predecessors, <em>Visual Star Trek</em> features a mouse-based GUI. After selecting the difficulty and the number of turns, you'll start your Klingon hunting by clicking a location on the map, which shows you the planets, star bases and the like, but does not show you the Klingons before you make the jump.</p>
<p>When the battle starts, you need to manage your shields, phase cannons, photon torpedoes and the all new experimental death ray that literally is a planet killer. If you destroy your opponents before the end of your turn, great — if not and you'll get beaten up, there are usually some star bases nearby where you can replenish your energy and weapons. Other than battling it out with Klingons, there are also Romulans and Tholians flying around, blackholes with nasty gravity, randomly appearing supernovas and planets where you can harvest either useful resources, or, if you get unlucky, tribbles.</p>
<p>At the start of the game the player can determine the difficulty through one of the six military ranks. Blackhole gravity, tribbles and random supernovas can be disabled. The gameplay screen shows a detailed overview in the top left corner, a quadrant overview in the top right one, various options on the right through a HUD, and text messages about the events in the bottom left corner.</p>

<p>Many centuries ago, Margaret was introduced to the Black Death. She sought the devil's protection in a pagan cult of devil worshipers. Through demonic rites, Margaret became a powerful sorceress, her strength growing with each year. Then the Bloody Judge set off a vicious wave of executions for profit and pleasure. Margaret was condemned to burn. From within the flames, she cast a dreadful curse upon the land. Then she appeared to her daughter, Alucarda. "Avenge me, Alucarda! Avenge my death!"</p>
<p>You are Alucarda. You begin the game on a quest of vengeance, which may change. You begin with no witchcraft abilities, so you must gain them. It is a 3rd-person adventure game with classic point-and-click mechanics and a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/22646/sierra/">Sierra</a>-score system.

The main character and all enemies were created using digitized images, recording the actors before performing complicated camera moves and strikes. Some of defeated enemies leave power ups, such as: additional energy, temporary invincibility, extra points and extra life.</p>
<p>Amiga version of the game features level codes (mission 3, 5, 7) and was released in two version - with AGA ans ECS graphics.</p>

<p>In this straightforward action game, you're pitted against an arachnid invasion from above. In such a situation, you might expect to be given a broom, or perhaps a vacuum cleaner. Not so here, where the obvious solution is to grab a boxing glove and start punching spiders to death! They descend towards the floor in varying speeds, while you aim and throw punches to send them reeling back upwards.</p>
<p>You lose if a spider touches the floor, and advance to the next stage when they're all splattered up on the ceiling. However, you shouldn't just smash them up as fast as you can: more living spiders equals more points per punch, so your goal is to keep them away from both the floor <em>and</em> the ceiling for as long as you can. This gets progressively harder as you advance - more spiders appear, and you need to keep more of them alive simultaneously just to maintain your scoring.</p>

<p><em>Star Quest I in the 27th Century</em> is a shareware space combat flight simulation game developed by the Canadian company, Virtual Adventures Inc. The game offers a variety of different missions, including pure shooting action, tactical missions and even space racing. The graphics engine of <em>Star Quest I</em> allows for smooth transitions between open space and planetary atmospheres, creating dynamically changing combat environments.</p>
<p>The background story of <em>Star Quest</em>, which is recounted in detail in the game manual, suggests that after centuries of space exploration, humans and their allied sentient extraterrestrial species have eventually abandoned space travel, which was replaced by teleportation technology. However, the Centurions, a near-extinct hostile race that was thought to have been defeated in a war of the past, have suddenly started an offensive using remotely controlled drone spaceships to compensate for their dwindling numbers. In the face of an imminent Centurion invasion, the humans must learn to wage war in space once again.</p>
<p>Taking the role of a volunteer pilot, the player needs to complete various missions which involve direct fighting, protecting friendly ships and ground structures, commanding allied attack formations, and also participating in non-violent space races against fellow pilots. There is no campaign mode, but instead a number of missions which can be played in any order, and re-played an unlimited number of times on different skill levels. As the player completes more missions, better engines, weapons and ship upgrades become available, and more missions are unlocked.</p>
<p><em>Star Quest I</em> is highly customizable, and allows to tweak ship controls and behaviour to suit individual playing preferences. There is an elaborate system of difficulty levels and a special exploration mode that allows the player to preview a level without engaging in combat or completing other objectives.</p>

<p><em>Buddyros</em> is a logical game with simple rules. The game combines elements of <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a>, <a href="/search/?q=Dyna+Blaster">Dyna Blaster</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a>. The goal is to collect all the keys from the board and get through to the exit door to the next level without getting killed. At each level (of which there are around fifty, but the built-in editor lets players create more) the player character may expect stones to crush him, antigravity and levitating stones, bombs, dynamite sticks, walls, wagging hammers and even sponges.</p>

<p><em>R-Activ</em> is a remake of the 8-bit game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/96209/pongo/">Pongo</a>. The rules of this game are simple.

<p>Akira Daidōji was just an ordinary teenager until one night he had a strange dream. When he woke up he was contacted by a mysterious stranger from another planet who told him that the Gadram Empire is attacking his homeland because they need the power of the so-called Laker Crystals to survive. Akira was chosen as the next guardian of the crystals.

<p><em>Sei Shōjo Sentai Lakers</em> is primarily a turn-based tactical game, though it also has extensive cutscenes and sporadic adventure-like menu-based interaction for certain events (mostly those of sexual nature). Battles are dictated by the plot and consist entirely of navigating a team led by Akira and consisting of various female characters over isometric battle screens. Each character has a variety of attacks at her disposal and can be slightly customized before combat. There is also a light role-playing element in that the characters become progressively stronger; however, this is not affected by the player's choices.</p>

<p>The sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/58817/sei-shojo-sentai-lakers/">Sei Shōjo Sentai Lakers</a> directly continues the story from the previous game. Akira and his team of school girls with supernatural powers have repelled Galvan's forces and protected the Laker Crystals. However, a new adversary named Rayott appears on the stage. Obtaining his power from Leticia, the former commander of the Gadram Empire, Rayott intends to use the power of the crystals in order to invade Earth.</p>
<p>The game plays very similarly to its predecessor, consisting of turn-based tactical battles and lengthy cutscenes interspersed by occasional adventure-like interaction between them. Battle interface underwent some changes, and there are a few more customization options for the characters; otherwise, the combat system is identical to that of the previous game.</p>

<p>In the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/58819/sei-shojo-sentai-lakers-ii/">Sei Shōjo Sentai Lakers II</a> Akira and his team have successfully fended off Rayott's assault and are enjoying a brief peaceful time. However, an enigmatic masked enemy known as Neos Bullard appears on the stage. Aiming to capture the power of Laker crystals, Neos Bullard and his minions invade Earth, taking the Lakers by surprise.</p>
<p>This installment in the series features a very similar tactical combat system, granting each character a variety of attacks with different ranges that deplete special points. It differs from its predecessors by having much more developed adventure-like visual novel segments. The game has an internal clock for each day, and the player is free to choose various locations within the school and the city from a menu. Each such visit advances the clock by a certain amount of time. Depending on the player's choices different scenes can be unlocked.</p>

That way, the shareware version allows to sample a substantial portion of the game's arsenal, enemy roster, items, traps and other obstacles.</p>
<p><em>The HUNT Begins</em> contains a total of ten single-player levels (seven regular levels, one secret level and two "warp-only levels" which can be accessed only with the use of the level warp cheat), and additionally there are eight levels designed for online play. Three multi-player (Comm-Bat) modes are available in the shareware version: Normal, Score Mode, and Collector, and it is possible to play in these modes not only against the shareware version owners but also against opponents who have <em>Dark War</em>.</p>

<p><em>Puzza</em> is a simple 5x5 jigsaw puzzle game with a time limit. The player reveals a random piece of the puzzle on an empty field. Using the arrow keys an item can be moved to another space. The player can remove any item from the field, but it costs some time. Sometimes bonus items appear like an alarm clock or a coin that add time or points.</p>

<p>A real-time puzzle game, reminiscent of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/8828/pipe-dream-pipe-mania-series/">Pipe Dream</a>'s basic idea crossed with a sliding-block puzzle. The goal is to form a continuous pipeline, conducting the flow of a red liquid from source to destination. Each level starts with a grid of jumbled pieces; the player is represented by a movable tile, which can slide in four directions, exchanging places with adjacent tiles.</p>
<p>Non-player tiles are either blank or occupied by a pipe section: a horizontal or vertical straight line, a corner, or a cross-shaped piece (which allows both horizontal and vertical flow). The liquid starts flowing as soon as the level begins, and the pieces must be re-arranged in real time to carry it safely from start to finish. Pieces can no longer be moved if they contain liquid; the round is lost if the liquid reaches a gap, or tries to flow into an ill-fitting pipe section.</p>
<p>Up to two human players may play simultaneously, using the keyboard. <em>Pipeline</em> features fifty levels of increasing difficulty, which can be played in no particular order - some levels add a computer-controlled third "player" which moves about at random, frequently blocking your movement and destroying your carefully-constructed plumbing.</p>

<p><em>Ortotris</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=tetris">Tetris</a> variant. The game takes place in the same manner except that the player does not stack bricks but words. The player's task is to choose the correct spelling. The correct spelling indicated at the bottom of the screen needs to be selected from different choices by using the left or right cursor keys. The game highlights a part of the word the player needs to decide on. If correct, the selection is deleted, if not, it remains. On the right side of the screen displays the percentage of correctness of the answers. The game ends with the degree of exposure.The game has a mode of practice and theory of all types of polish spelling. </p>
<p>The Amiga version of the game and DOS v2.0 (released as a part of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/59654/ortomania/">Ortomania</a> compilation) include the Ortowpis editor, which allows players to add new words to the dictionary.</p>

<p>An unofficial port of the commercial game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Hopper">Hopper</a>, which existed on other home computer platforms, itself a clone of the popular arcade hit <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Frogger">Frogger</a>. Lead your frog safely across a crowded city street with five lanes of traffic, avoiding the cars that come whizzing by - then help it cross the river, hopping onto logs and floating leaves to reach its home at the top.</p>
<p>To tweak the difficulty, you may adjust the speed setting and select one of four skill levels. Higher levels feature busier traffic and a more treacherous river, but compensate by boosting your score.</p>

<p>Mankind's last defender is pitted against an endless wave of alien ships, hellbent on destroying the Earth using incredibly powerful explosives.  You must outwit their evasive maneuvers and take them down before they carry out their nefarious scheme.</p>
<p>You are given a strict time limit to hunt down each ship, and it gets shorter and shorter as the game progresses: take aim and fire before the countdown expires, or the enemy will plant its explosive charge in Earth's orbit.  If ten of them succeed, the Earth is doomed.</p>

<p><em>Galleons</em> is a simulation of a battle between two Galleon ships for one or two players, one hoisting a 'Jolly Roger' flag, the other a 'Crossed Sabers' flag. Each ship can be controlled by a human or the computer. The controls are configured for a split keyboard and/or 1-2 joysticks.</p>
<p>The objective of the game is to sink your opponent's ship by gunfire or ramming, whilst staying afloat yourself. The ships' equipment (guns, armour, sails, rudder) and crew quality can be configured at the start of each game, and affects the point score given at the end of battle. The game uses a split-screen with a top-down perspective, each half being centered on a player's ship, with the opponent circling. In the top center of the screen is a zoomed out map view with dots representing the two ships.</p>
<p>The aiming (range) of the guns is shown in two vertical stripes in the center of the screen, both port &amp; starboard sides for each player. To fire, hold the fire button until the desired range is reached, release it and the broadside goes off (with sound effects and orders called). If the target is hit, a schematic on top of the screen shows the damage by changing colours on affected areas. Above the gun range display, the amount of sail and speed is shown in a vertical bar for each ship. The wind direction is indicated on the center compass rose on the screen, and affects the handling &amp; positioning of the ship. More sail and a larger rudder makes easier handling as well.</p>
<p>As the battle goes on, and the ships get damaged, they are harder to navigate, and the final animations show broken masts and a sinking ship for the losing side. After one (or both) of the ships have sunk, a highscore screen is shown.</p>

<p><em>Operacja Glemp</em> is an adventure game set in a modified Polish political reality of 1996. The place of action is Kuria, a secret headquarters of mafia called the Episcopate. Poland is ruled by bishops black mafia, under the leadership of godfather operating under the pseudonym Glemp. All state institutions are under the control of the Christian National Union (Union Sick of Hate). Special militias prey on infidels who run partisan activities against the current government. The main character is the agent of the guerrillas. His task in the game is getting out of prison in the basement of grim Curia, murder of several significant for clergy persons, theft of stolen money and shares and blowing Curia in the air, finally safely escape Primate's Mercedes.</p>
<p>The game takes place on the premises, among which the player moves by clicking on the direction arrows. The control mechanism is similar to the classic point &amp; click system. The left mouse button shows the information about the items and sub-options to choose from, right-approve the action. The player must be very careful in making decisions. Every mistake ends up instant death. For example, drinking water from a bucket standing in the cell ends in death caused by typhoid.</p>

<p><em>Karzeł</em> is a side-scrolling arcade game with simple control options. The main task of the player is to overcome ten levels to reach the rainbow arc.

<p><em>Smuś</em> is a platform game. The hero of the game is a small dragon, kidnapped by the Ice Baron. The player must help him escape from the old ruins. There are nearly 250 rooms to complete. In each of them, the protagonist encounters the baron's knights, Indians and birds. The small dragon dies after contact with poisoned water and spikes. An additional complication are the moving platforms and the time limit - exactly 9999 seconds. Blue buttons allow to replenish the dragon's fire attack and open the bars blocking the way.</p>

<p><em>Crusher Castle II</em> is an action game where a character needs to escape a haunted castle by eliminating ghosts and picking up tools and treasure. The game is a follow-up on a previous version called <a href="/search/?q=crusher">Crusher</a> by the same company. There are 25 rooms are arranged in a 5x5 square, with the character starting the game in the center. When you have reached a set score of 10.000 points, an extra life is provided and some information to help you escape the castle.</p>
<p>The gameplay is a mix of <a href="/search/?q=Soko-ban">Soko-ban</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> in that there are a number of ghosts hunting the character in each room, and they are blocked by pushing boxes in their way. If the ghosts catch up, a life is lost. Each step made, uses up a bit of the candles needed to survive, and crossing into another room uses a large amount of the candle. You cannot pull the boxes, but instead you have explosives to destroy them, if you find yourself boxed in. There are point rewards for trapping the ghosts, plus you gain candles when they disappear.</p>
<p>In each room are also gold coins, i.e. extra points, and closets that hold a variety of things, both good items and bad, some are useless, and some lead to other rooms. Registering the game is required to enable the save-game function, otherwise you must restart after you run out of lives or candles.</p>

<p><em>Moraff's Monster Bridge</em> is a single-player card game, with a setting in the <em>Moraff's World</em> universe. The player is depicted as a human adventurer who has entered a tavern in an RPG called <em>Moraff's World</em>, and joined in a game of Monster Bridge. The cards and rules are not quite ordinary, there are 96 cards in six suites with various monsters depicted on them, sixteen cards to each suite. You have one seat at a table for four players, with your human hands seen at the bottom and the other three players appendages shown as tentacles.</p>
<p>You play to win your own bid, the minimum size of the bid depends on how many times you trade cards from the dealer at the outset. There is a trump suite selected each round, and you must follow suit if you can, otherwise you can use any card. You get eight cards per deal. If you win the required bid, you gain points, otherwise you lose points. The winner is the player who first gains 75 points in the game.</p>
<p>There are quite a number of screen settings available, this was one of the common features found in many of Moraff's DOS games.</p>

<p><em>Stunt Jumper</em> lets you drive a bike on a ramp and jump over a series of yellow school buses. The player has three lives and needs to keep the speed correct to match the number of buses so as to land on the down-ramp without crashing. Too slow, and you crash into a bus between the ramps, too fast and you land too hard on the ground, losing a life.</p>
<p>The only controls are 'spacebar' to accelerate, and 'ctrl' to break. Your view is over the handlebars of the bike, looking ahead towards the road, with the ramp initially out of sight. There is little to guide you as to what the proper speed may be, so you have to use trial and error for the first few times. Each time you succeed landing correctly, you get another try with more buses between the ramps. The objective is to end up on the top of the score board before you lose all three lives. If you lose all lives, you restart the game from the beginning, jumping over three buses.</p>

<p><em>Silmar</em> is a rogue-like/hack type of RPG, with random generated dungeons, in which you as an adventurer are descending to fight monsters and find treasure. The game was first released for DOS around 1990, with later incarnations running on Windows, Linux and OS/X.</p>
<p>The DOS version has tile-based graphics, and was split in three parts. The first (<em>Dungeons of Silmar</em>) was distributed as shareware, and the second (<em>An Everpresent Magic</em>) and third (<em>The Forward Terminus</em>) parts were made available with the purchase of the first part.</p>
<p>The story is that the evil wizard Syrilboltus was defeated in a war with a dwarf country called Gormarundon, but left a cursed magic labyrinth of dungeons under his tower, crawling with monsters, nearby the village Silmarii, which needs to be cleansed and sealed by reaching the bottom of the dungeons. Many adventurers have tried but failed, and now you are to try your luck.</p>
<p>You choose your character from a list of mixed characters, ranging from werewolves to baseball players (oh, the horror!), and venture forth.
As is usual with these games, there is a shop in the village above where you can purchase necessities and sell any treasure you find below.
You can reach the shop by using a teleport bead, so there is a quick way out if things get too hot below.</p>
<p>The updated version of <em>Silmar</em>, v2.x (1999-2004) has pixel-based graphics, but while the backstory and rogue-like game style is the same, the map screen and player characters are differs from the original, e.g. now you can only play a human adventurer, and the above ground area includes the village, a smithy, a priest for healing, a wizard for magic supplies, a shop for purchasing supplies, and a royally appointed trader that purchases your loot/goods, plus a messenger that can take items to your home village.</p>

<p>In this demonstration game, whose type-in source code is included in the book to demonstrate text adventure game programming, the player must venture into a defunct factory tower (based on a real building in Manchester, NH) in hopes of retrieving magnetic media on which is stored a copy of Crowther &amp; Woods' inaugural adventure game, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/7496/adventure-versions/">ADVENTURE</a>. Typical text adventure adversaries of vermin and small animals interfere with the efforts, and must be overcome through the solving of standard text adventure puzzles.</p>
<p>Three versions of this game's source code are included in the book, for Microsoft BASIC, modified Microsoft BASIC for Atari computers, and for TI BASIC.</p>

<p><em>Mr. Tomato</em> is a platform game that graphically resembles <a href="/search/?q=Bubba+N+Stix">Bubba 'N' Stix</a>, an enhanced version of Amiga game of the same title, released two years earlier. The story remains unchanged. The main character is a boy trapped in a comic book. The aim is to escape from the comic book filled with a variety of forest animals and deadly traps like spikes, collect diamonds and coins. The player may move in all directions, throw tomatoes and use a tomato rifle.
33 diamonds allow to move to the next board and 5 coins give an extra energy. Taking out enemies is done by throwing tomatoes. In exchange for 20 coins a rifle can be acquired. The rifle may be pointed in three directions.</p>
<p>The game consists of three big stages divided into five levels each and last, fourth stage, played inside the computer, where the player will encounter all the enemies encountered in the game. After each level a password is obtained.</p>

<p><em>Navjet</em> is a side-scrolling arcade game where you fly an attack aircraft to defend against enemy aircraft and naval force from a neighboring country. You start out in the center of the screen with eight lives, and your jet aircraft in the air over the sea, with the enemy coming from the right side of the screen. Movement up/down/left/right is allowed, so you can fly back to catch enemies who passed you, though you cannot move left of your spawn point.</p>
<p>Waves of enemy aircraft start from carriers at your right, and move to the left and turn at your starting point, to come back from behind you. You can shoot a gun and drop bombs from your aircraft, and you never run out of ammunition. When you shoot some objects, you get stars hanging in the air, which are extra lives if you catch them by flying through them. If you shoot the stars, you lose them, and get no extra lives.</p>
<p>If you reach the end of the map, you will find the enemies nuclear missiles, which you need to destroy to get to the next level. You also gain a password to each level, so you won't have to restart from the beginning if you restart the game.</p>

<p><em>General Budda's Labyrinth</em> is a maze game where the object is just to find the way out of the maze in one piece. You drive a tank-like (though out of ammunition) vehicle through a static maze, and explore it, trying to find exits. In some rooms are robot orbs, that try to get close to you to explode and take some energy from your vehicle. A destroyed orb is permanently gone from the maze. Sometimes the orbs dig holes in the walls, and can come through. There are keys and walls with keyholes that opens if you found the key.</p>
<p>The game was initially in three parts, the first being distributed as shareware, the other two were sent to you upon registering. The three parts are called:<em> </em>Episode 1 - The Orbs of Distruction<strong> *Episode 2 - Evil Secrets!</strong> <em>Episode 3 - Budda's Lair!</em></p>
<p>In addition to the three parts, registering also got you an editor for making more levels for the game. The full game has later been released as freeware by the author, and is available for download.</p>

<p><em>Colonial Project</em> is a real-time military-economical strategy game with a Traditional Chinese interface. In this game you have to go through four missions on various planets. The surface on each planet has its own specific features (desert, forest, rocks and lava). In each of the missions there are two types of tasks are provided. The first type is to reach a certain count of colonists during a limited time. The second type is an obligatory destruction of the headquarter in the colony of enemy side. Your opponent is the very militarized Lowell Empire and battles are fought over the possession of scarce natural resources.</p>
<p>The natural resources in the game are realized as four different types such as uranium, oil, iron and fresh water. In the battles you can manage combat vehicles squads and give the orders personally to each tank crew. You also have the opportunity to build a variety of objects: plants, tank factories, power stations, schools, hospitals, business centers and many other facilities. A good industrial production can lead to surplus production, so warehouses can be built for storage of over-production surpluses. Every two months a commercial spaceship arrives in the colony, so surpluses can be sold.</p>
<p>An important element of the game is developing technology. Each of the technologies has five degrees of perfection. Technologies are grouped into three different classes: mining and manufacturing, construction and science, military vehicles and weapons. With a higher level of technological perfection the various factories and mechanisms are working more effective and faster. Therefore, from the beginning of this game you need to develop the only tool for improving of all technologies - computer hardware. If the economic indicators of your colony are strongly negative, then it will stop colony development during a short time, and gameplay will ingloriously ended.</p>

<p><em>Wall Pipe</em> is a real-time puzzle game where you need to lead flowing water through a series of pipes. On each screen is a water source, and a number of pipe parts queued up for you to build the pipeline with, by picking the first pipe-part in the queue, using your mouse, and placing it where you want. Some planning ahead is possible, as the next three queued parts are visible. There is a 40 second delay after the level starts until the water flows, during which time you can try to build the longest pipe from the available parts. It is not possible to turn the parts around to fit the connection, unlike e.g. <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>, nor can you see the part you have in your hand, so you must remember the shape, once it's removed from the queue.</p>
<p>Once the water starts flowing it's a race against time, as the water flows faster than you can place the pipes. When the water cannot flow through the pipes, or you run out of connectable pipes, the game ends. Sometimes the screen has a dedicated outlet to which you need to connect your pipes in order to win.</p>
<p>You get points for the amount of parts used, and for 'loops' in the pipeline, which are possible through interconnection pipes. You lose points for placing pipe parts that don't hold any water at the end of the round, except in a bonus round. If you manage to get enough (or any) points, there is a high-score list where you can inscribe your initials for posterity.</p>

<p>This is a short graphical adventure, where the player is tasked to navigate mazes to eventually retrieve the scepter of Queen Jennifer.</p>
<p>The player starts out in an open landscape in the kingdom of Kyrule. Nearby our starting location, the open mouth of a cave is gaping invitingly. There is another cave on an island in a river close by, and the Queens castle is further off on the other side of the river. To cross the river we need first to find a raft, which might be hidden somewhere in the nearest cave. There is a monster somewhere, guarding the queens scepter, but we have a sword. When entering a cave, you get an overview of the maze so you can try to remember the layout, before zooming in on your hero.</p>
<p>This game is a first attempt by the author to make a graphical adventure, and source code &amp; documentation is available for a fee.</p>

<p><em>Towers</em> is a timed puzzle game, where the object is to build as high a tower as possible, by filling out levels with bricks.</p>
<p>There is limited time to build each level of the tower, and what you manage to build will be the base for the next level. There are a few different shaped bases to begin with, rectangular, diamond, of hollow bases. The bricks come in odd shapes, like <em>Tetris</em>-shaped blocks lying down, and they are queued up so you have to place one before seeing the next shape. If a brick won't fit, you can discard it with a time penalty, and hopefully get a better brick-shape next. Ideally you should fill the entire floor to make a flat base for the next level. When the time runs out for the level, it is 'trimmed' and scored, and the next level begins, until the area is too small to continue. Each new level has increasing demands on time, and the minimum sized group of bricks required to continue upwards.</p>
<p>After the game ends, either by you selecting to quit, or by the 'minimum group' demands exceeding the available floorspace, the tower is scored, you can end up in the hall of fame, if you managed to build higher than previous players. You can also admire the tower you built from eight different directions and from different distances, but this is not saved for posterity.</p>

<p><em>Smooth Tetris</em> is a clone with somewhat slower falling blocks than the original <em>Tetris</em>. The blocks fall into the bottom of a box, and are removed when a layer is filled. Each type of block removed adds to a rising bar-chart on the right of the main area. The blocks can be rotated, moved left &amp; right, and dropped in place using the keyboard.</p>
<p>The keys used can be reconfigured if needed. There is also a high-score list for your name when you end a game.</p>

<p>In <em>Kret</em> the player controls a mole who was born in the stuffy basement of a ruined palace. The owner is a sadist who dumps debris on his head. The gameplay resembles <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>. The game starts with a board filled up with debris, and the player controls a mole located on the bottom. The aim is to remove the blocks from the board so that none of them fall on the mole's head. An additional difficulty is the inability to freely move down - the mole can only move from side to side and up. The mole is moved down from time to time by the computer.</p>

<p>The game <em>SLOT-8</em> is a simulation of an 8-way pay slot gambling machine.</p>
<p>You are presented with the slot machine screen, and a starter capital of $100. Betting is 1-8 dollars, the bet is increased with the spacebar. Enter-key pulls the handle, and the symbols randomly change with accompanying noise. Winning combinations/patterns are presented on the right of the screen. Depending on how much you bet, your score is added from different rows, i.e. if you bet $1, only the middle horizontal row is counted, and if you bet $8, all rows, columns and diagonals are counted for matching patterns. The active rows are indicated with highlighted numbers on the left and top of the screen.</p>
<p>Each time you win, there is a musical tune played, different for every pattern. If you lose all your money, the game is over. If you win enough, you end up on a scoreboard.</p>

<p>This is a solitaire card game, using the rules for Klondike Solitaire.  </p>
<p>The game is played with one 4-suite deck of 52 cards.  </p>
<p>The game layout starts with a row of seven cards, with the leftmost face-up, the others face down,
then adds to this six cards on the previous face-down row, with the left-most face up and so on
until there is a diagonal of face-up cards in seven columns of increasing length, left to right.  </p>
<p>On the diagonal layout, you build downward, alternating color suites, moving cards between columns and taking free cards from the remaining deck. Kings are the only card allowed to be placed on empty columns.  </p>
<p>You are building suites of cards on the four aces upward, on four stacks on top of the layout, and the object is to end up with all suites sorted in separate stacks on the top.  </p>
<p>This game allows cheating, and has option to ignore rules completely, or just allow cheating in single instances.  </p>
<p>Individual game layouts can be replayed by referring to the game number shown in the lower right of the screen.</p>

<p><em>Osmosis</em>, also known as 'Treasure Trove', is a Solitaire card game.</p>
<p>The game uses a standard 52-card 4 suite deck, and the object of the game is to sort the cards into (unordered) suites. In order to do this, after shuffling the deck, 16 cards are first dealt into 4x4 face-down vertical 'spare stacks', then the top card on each is turned face-up. The next card from the deck (no 17), is then placed face up to the right of the the top spare stack, and declared a 'foundation base'. Any other card of the same suite may be placed in a row over the base card, disregarding numerical order for this first row. Below the first suit foundation row, the other suits are placed but now the cards have to follow in the same order as the suit immediately above.</p>
<p>The remaining deck is used for picking cards 3 at a time into a 'waste' heap, and trying to place them on the foundation by taking cards from the top of the waste heap. When the remaining deck is run through, and all cards in the waste heap, it is not shuffled, only turned over and re-dealt in the same order. If no cards can be placed after the deck has been re-dealt, the game can be ended manually, as no cheating is allowed. The face-up cards in the spare stacks can also be placed on the foundation, allowing the next spare to be turned over. If a spare stack is emptied it is just left as is.</p>
<p>The ideal end result is that all cards are in four rows of unordered suits on the foundation, but that depends on how the cards are dealt. Scoring is made from game specific rules, and the result is kept in a local high-score list.

<p><em>Prigodi Pionerki Kseni</em> (The Adventures of Ksenia the Young Pioneer) is an unofficial stand-alone total conversion of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/497/the-adventures-of-captain-comic/">The Adventures of Captain Comic</a> made by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/561218/yuri-lesiuk/">Yuri Lesiuk</a>, a programmer from Chernihiv, Ukraine. While the game mechanics remain the same, all graphics and levels had been replaced with "images familiar to the Soviet people" in the author's own words. The plot of the game is as follows: Ksenia, a Young Pioneer girl, travels through the various locations of the planet Pioneria and overcomes obstacles in order to find Captain Comic.</p>
<p><em>Ksenia</em> was created as a demonstration of software reverse-engineering, a topic on which Yuri Lesiuk published a number of papers in the local computer programming magazine, <em>Programmistskie Vedomosti</em> ("The Programmers' Newsletter"). Yuri Lesiuk analysed the file formats of the game and wrote tools to edit graphics, levels and data archives; these tools were also supplied as part of the demonstration sample.</p>

<p><em>Xargon's Fury</em> is the third episode of three that make up the side-scrolling platformer <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1057/xargon/">Xargon</a>. This first episode was freely distributed as shareware with the option to register the other two, but they were also sold separately.

<p><em>Air Puck</em> is a <em>shufflepuck</em> game, where you try to slide a hockey puck on a small table, past a computer opponent at the opposite end.</p>
<p>The playing table is drawn as vector grid, as seen from a human players position, in a linear perspective. The players bat is controlled by the mouse, and can only move within a small area close to the bottom to defend the own goal. At the outset, you configure the game to how many goals to aim for to win, and how fast the puck will glide. The DOS version was inspired by an earlier Apple Macintosh shareware release of the same name, made by another author.</p>

<p><em>X-Fire</em> is a simple arcade shooter with a space-aliens theme.  </p>
<p>You spawn in the center of a grid corridor, the avatar is a circular red/green object shooting bullets in the same direction it moves.  </p>
<p>There are sprites of alien spaceships at the end of each corridor, that come at you one by one, shooting and hunting your ship.  </p>
<p>Each time a level is cleared it gets refilled with aliens again, and this continues until you quit.  </p>

<p>In a futuristic vision of the 21th century, mankind's most demanding and dangerous tasks are carried out by modular, adaptable robots called Hexsiders.  But dependence has its pitfalls: a rebelling faction of robots has taken down the defense command center by sabotaging its main computer - deactivating every robot within, but keeping all the automatic security systems engaged.  Outside the compound, only a small detachment of six Hexsiders remains.  They must infiltrate the heart of the structure under radio control and repair the defective computer.</p>
<p>Control can be freely transferred from robot to robot.  The robots are far from humanoid - each Hexsider is a stack of hexagonal modules (up to 6), which can be added, removed or rearranged as needed.  These modules determine the robot's functionality: the Central Unit module contains the robot's power source and data storage; a rollers module (placed at the bottom) allows for movement; other module types can be used to interface with other robots, or access the building's security network.  New types will be found throughout the game, but your most precious module - the replacement unit for the main computer - is unique and irreplaceable.</p>
<p>The maze-like environment is represented on a top-down hex grid map, though a rotating isometric 3D view can be used at any time.  Doors and teleports are level-restricted: each robot has a level (starting at 1), which can be raised by interfacing with higher-level robots you encounter.  A robot's level also restricts its access to the internal security network, which can be used to disable (or enable) lasers, mines and electro-magnets - strategically-placed defense systems that impede your progress and create intricate puzzles to be solved.</p>

<p><em>TurboGo</em> is a computer version of the two-player Chinese board game <em>weiqi</em> ("Go") using the Chinese scoring rules.</p>
<p>In this version of the game, either player can be a computer or human. The available board sizes here are 9x9, 13x13 and 19x19, the latter being a common tournament size grid. The Go game is simple, but hard to master, and this version has an extensive manual built into it to help.</p>
<p>The two players have either black or white stones, and place them in turn on the cross-points of a square line grid. The object is to encircle/border off territory and capture the opponents stones as prisoners. The game can be saved to disk, and be continued later, as the larger boards can take some time to finish.</p>

<p><em>ROX</em> is an <a href="/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a> variant, where you pilot a spaceship and shoot asteroids and spaceships.The screen wraps around left/right and up/down, so what goes off the screen in one direction comes back from the other. You have three lives and unlimited ammunition for one session. If you clear the whole area, new asteroids are spawned off screen.</p>
<p>An enemy spaceship will periodically come and shoot at you, and if you don't avoid it or the asteroids, your ship is destroyed. The ship has a laser shooting forward, it can turn and accelerate, and there is an emergency warp, in case you get boxed in. If you are successful, you will end up in a Hall of Fame list, and some statistics will show for your next game.</p>

<p><em>Canton</em> is a shareware historical trading simulation game, set in the 18th century China. Taking the role of Atlas Pathfinder, a young adventurer and entrepreneur, the player must explore sea and land, trade with numerous Chinese cities and eventually build a vast and successful commercial empire.</p>
<p>The game starts in the city of Canton (Guangdong), with only one caravan and a small starting capital. The first objective is to locate another city so that the trade can start. Available trading goods include grain, meat, salt, ore, weapons and tools, and each city has certain levels of demand and supply of goods, with varying offering and buying prices. Thus, it is possible to buy cheap goods in one city and sell them for a profit in another; additionally, food (grain and meat) is required to cover the expenditures of maintaining a caravan, and some of the income also goes as payment to the caravan each turn.</p>
<p>Once some level of profit from trade has been attained, the player can hire more caravans for trade and exploration, and also use some of the caravans to build warehouses. Warehouses are not only used to store goods (since every caravan has maximum carrying capacity that cannot be exceeded), but also allow the player's trading company to produce goods of its own. For this purpose, the player can hire or recruit peasants and artisans in the cities. A warehouse with at least four peasants will produce one unit of food (grain or meat) each turn, and four artisans in a warehouse produce one tool or weapon each turn.</p>
<p>In addition to trade and exploration, there are rather frequent special events in the game that can either be profitable or adverse to the player's assets. For example, an exploring caravan may find hidden treasure that will add money to the company's budget. On the other hand, pirates can attack ships at sea, and fending off an attack successfully can only be accomplished if the player has provided protection for caravans and ships in the form of hired soldiers.</p>
<p>The registered version of the game allows to play for decades of in-game time, simulating the long career of Atlas Pathfinder as a manager and entrepreneur. The shareware version, on the other hand, offers only five years of in-game time, or sixty turns (each turn counts as one month). Also, some of the game features and options, like establishing fixed trade routes, are disabled in the shareware version of <em>Canton</em>.</p>

<p><em>Mustang</em> is an arcade shooter with aircrafts.</p>
<p>The aircraft you control is a green plane seen from above, movable over the screen using the numeric pad keys, though always oriented nose-upward on screen. Enemy aircraft come single or in formations of different sizes and from all directions, sometimes turning, sometimes just flying straight past, shooting bullets and rockets at your plane.</p>
<p>There are also power-up objects that fall from the top of the screen, like health-packs to replenish your life-meter, missiles and 3-way guns that you can pick up by passing over them, and these will change your fire-mode for a limited time. When you eventually get shot down, you may end up on a high-score list.</p>

<p><em>Campaign</em> is a two-player turn-based strategic game with cavalry, guns and infantry units.</p>
<p>The players troops are placed at either end of a top-town square-grid map, with roads, woods, rivers and bridges or rafts to cross them. The players units are foot-soldiers, cavalry, artillery and a captain who is the main objective for elimination. All battles are resolved by dice-throws. Cannons can destroy bridges and walls using a six-throw. The captain can repair bridges and walls if needed, using a six-throw. There are also randomly placed mines on the map, that can kill moving troops.</p>
<p>Initially the troops are grouped together behind protective walls, and four 6-sided dice are used to deploy individual units along strategic points on the map. Each unit has a different reach for movement or battle, also depending on terrain, and you select one of your thrown dice to move/fight with each troop. Sometimes the troops get blocked by walls, path-finding is not one of their good skills. Rafting is a short downstream transport for anyone climbing aboard.</p>
<p>Once in reach of each other the troops can do battle with various effects; e.g. a cavalry unit losing its battle is unhorsed, and will turn into an infantry unit. A fully eliminated unit is replaced by a tombstone. When the captain from one army is eliminated, by an enemy unit standing next to it and attacking, the game is over.</p>
<p>The manual states more maps available for the registered game, but the unregistered 'sampler' game has only one scenario. There is no computer AI to play against, so it can only be played with human opponents.</p>

<p><em>3DWorld</em> consists of two games in one package, an early attempt at creating a 3D environment. The games are an asteroid shooter called <em>Voyageur IV</em> and a table-tennis game <em>3D Ping Pong</em>. Both are launched from a common menu, together with a setup screen and an introduction to the 3D view system <em>TunnelVISION</em>.</p>
<p>In the asteroid shooter, you are flying an armed spaceship tasked with protecting the Earth from incoming asteroids. On the first level there are ten asteroids, and you have three spaceships at your disposal. In order to hit, you must aim and fire the ships gun through a crosshair displayed in space in front of the asteroid path. If you fail, either the spaceship breaks up in the collision, or Earth is destroyed. If you succeed, the next mission takes you through hyperspace toward the source of the asteroids, but you must dodge an asteroid-belt on the way. As you pass the asteroid belt, your hyperdrive breaks, and now you must find and pickup spare-parts among the asteroids. (who dropped them there?)</p>
<p>In the table-tennis game, you play a match against the computer, it ends when you have a difference in score of 5, 10 or 15 points (dependent on settings), with the table in a closed box, so the ball can bounce off the sides as well.</p>

<p>Units have a limited number of movement points that can be spent each turn on movement, attacks, or both. There are three terrain types - sand, rocks and roads - and each has a different movement cost in points, with roads being the fastest way of travel, and sand the slowest.

<p>The demo version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/240/star-wars-tie-fighter/">Star Wars: TIE Fighter</a> includes one unique mission which takes place during the Imperial assault on Hoth. The player takes the role of a TIE fighter pilot whose squadron is tasked with the destruction of the Rebel repair yard in the Remitik system in order to prepare an ambush for the retreating Rebel spacecraft that might escape the attacking Imperial fleet on Hoth.

<p>At the end of World War 2 a group of scientists created a being of almost pure evil. Orders were cut to have it destroyed but for some reason they were never carried out. That was a major mistake because that being has now become Zheng, a major warlord who, through biological warfare, has killed most of the Earth's population and is now the planet's ruler. There are, however survivors, and the player takes the role of one of these survivors in a tank. They are the last hope. They must break through 'Enemy Lines'.</p>
<p>So begins a game which sees the player's single tank battling against many enemy tanks of various types, aircraft, and pill boxes across large levels with minefields, bridges and buildings. The only aid comes from occasional supply drops. A mini map gives the player a sense of where they are and where they are headed.</p>
<p>The player has two weapons, the tanks main gun and a mortar. These must be used with care because these weapons have range. This means it is not enough to point at an enemy and fire, too close and the shell will detonate beyond the enemy, too far away and the shell will not reach them.</p>
<p>The object of the game is to destroy enemy on a given level before leaving, in fact the game will not allow the player to leave a level until all Zheng's forces on that level have been destroyed</p>

<p>Loosely inspired by the story of Prohibition-era mobster Dutch Schultz and his buried millions, this game sends you down into the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine to locate and blast out a lost treasure, stashed away in a randomly-generated maze. Unfortunately for you, the mine is infested with rats and spiders (which drain your health), as well as bats (which steal your items... and when you're out of things to steal, drain your health). </p>
<p>As you roam the tunnels from a first-person perspective, items in your inventory will prove essential, ranging from dynamite and a 'mazer' gun to navigational aids like a map, a compass, night-vision goggles and a gold detector. The chosen difficulty level determines how well-equipped you are: you may start with all of the above, or hunt for them yourself throughout the corridors.</p>

<p>A variation on the <em>TRON</em>-inspired Light Cycle concept; the action takes place in an arena where the player must steer the Laser Cycle, keeping away from the walls and dodging a series of homing missiles. The craft leaves behind a laser trail, which can be transformed into an energy barrier for short sections to block the missiles.</p>
<p>Energy barriers cost power, and collectible power pods restore it. According to your chosen skill level, the pace gets faster as the game progresses and the missiles are guided more efficiently; the length of your energy barrier is reduced, power pods disappear faster, and the arena walls start closing in - quick reflexes will be required to survive.</p>

The hero has advanced optics. They allow the player to obtain the approximation of the environment as well as to observe through infrared. During the game there are logic puzzles that require matching different pieces of information to run machinery or computer systems.</p>
<p>The story takes place in an unspecified future, at a time when mankind mastered interplanetary flights and brought into space one of his favorite activities: war. After years of war, to reduce the loss and destruction of inhabited planets, the federations have agreed, under the threat of war with the Empire, to move to an uninhabited desert moon in a planetary system. Moon, called Arena, becomes the scene of battles and fights between parties over the decades. With time, the Empire has taken over full control, and Arena has become a place of exile for unwanted subjects.</p>
<p>The history presented in the game is the story of two deserters of the imperial army, Jafo and Sope. By a complete coincidence they reach the Arena. The game tells their stories: the struggle to survive in the sands of the Arena looking for remnants of ancient artifacts from battlefields to sell them in order to obtain a livelihood. Additional motivation is the search for the ship Valkyrie, the only chance to escape from the Arena.</p>

top-down map and in a 2D view of a landscape, which changes along the map 
route, depicting the general area where the players piece are located.</p>

is no slide-back punishment, only the statistics show percentage of right/wrong answers.</p>
<p>Eventually the players reach the goal at Jericho, and there is an animation of the falling walls of the city.</p>
<p>A highscore is shown after the end animation.</p>

<p>When it comes to game plots, damsels sure find the weirdest ways to put themselves in distress: in this case, the poor girl has somehow managed to get herself trapped inside a balloon. Fortunately, our two protagonists spot her just as she's spirited away by the wind, and set out to find and save her - using nothing but their wits, agility, and an endless supply of high explosives.</p>
<p>One or two players may participate in the quest, which unfolds across an increasingly outlandish array of locations: a park, a school, a construction yard and even a haunted castle. Your only weapon is the bomb, used to dispatch any and all enemies in your way, and to clear your path throughout the land.  Each stage will have you tearing down the scenery to find coins, power-ups, and the coveted key to the exit door. Power-ups include upgrades to your bomb's power and range, as well as time-stops and temporary invincibility. A password feature lets you resume your play after each group of stages is cleared.</p>

<p>Icy Metal is a mouse-controlled game with three variants of capturing or throwing a ball through moving targets, somewhat like the children's toy <em>ball-in-a-cup</em>, except here there is no string attached to the ball. The author's intent is for the game to give a sensation of handling metallic objects.</p>
<p>The objects used in the game are combinations of a metallic-looking ball, a torus and a funnel, with the additional difficulty of a magnetic force in 
one of the games. The games also have a time limit counting down, and the player can try as many times as wanted within the time limit. Each game keeps a separate high score list for the three best results.</p>
<p>The first game lets you drop a ball past a moving magnetic torus bouncing from side to side, into a horizontally movable funnel, scoring a point. If the torus is near the falling ball, it will capture it magnetically, and you lose a point.</p>
<p>The second game has two vertically moving funnels, which also can switch orientation, positioned on either side of the screen. A ball in the 
center can be thrown at either side, trying to hit a funnels large opening, which scores a point. Missing the funnel, or throwing into a funnel that is turned the wrong way, loses a point.</p>
<p>The third game has two independent tori erratically moving in a horizontal level above a funnel containing the ball. The goal here is to 
throw the ball from the cup through both tori as they pass above the funnel. Success award one point, failure subtracts a point from your score.</p>

<p>Another variation on the classic <em>Spacewar!</em> style of interstellar combat, played against a human player or the computer: two triangular spacecraft duke it out for survival, with the simple premise of kill-or-be-killed. The ships roam freely across the arena, using rotate and thrust controls to manipulate their movement; edge wrap-around can be toggled on or off, and an optional gravity well may be placed at the center, with or without a sun (crashing into one is highly ill-advised).</p>
<p>Victory is achieved by destroying the opponent ship's hull. Both players are equipped with a shield, which protects the hull until it can be taken down, and a regenerating energy storage which is depleted by thrusting, firing, or using a special ability: the powerful disruptor (which launches a sphere of heavy damage at short range), the tractor beam (which pulls the two ships together) or the hyperspace teleporter (which displaces the ship to a random location). Taking heavy damage can disrupt or disable some of the ship's controls, so fly safe.</p>

<p><em>Przeklęta Ziemia</em> is a shooter with strategic elements. The aim of the game is to pay off debts incurred in the corporation Peace. To do this the player must find three precious crystals hidden on the planet Cursed Earth. The whole tactic comes down to the equipment of the team using the available funds. The team can count from one to three mercenaries. The player can choose from ten mercenaries with various abilities to handle weapons. Mercenaries and weapons must be adapted to the specific mission. The gameplay reminds of the <a href="/search/?q=Syndicate">Syndicate</a> games, but the player can control only one mercenary at the same time. The mission is usually to kill someone or destroy something. Apart from enemies the player encounters ammo, extra energy, armor, money and other useful items. There are twenty missions in total.</p>

<p>This is a digital conversion of an amusement park/carnival game with a twist, released by the School of Telecommunications Engineering of Barcelona as a stress-relief tool. The player controls a student armed with eggs and tomatoes, and now it's time to get back at the teachers for the pain they caused!</p>
<p>The aim is to complete five courses by venting your frustrations at cartoon renditions of the school staff.  Moving wooden boards will flip around to reveal your targets - try to clobber the teachers (numbered targets) and secretaries.  Aim quickly: miss three teachers in a row and it's game over.  Study accessories are worth extra points, but be careful and don't hit other students, or the janitor - or (worst of all) the game's programmers.</p>

<p><em>Arrakis</em> is a real-time strategy game created by Dutch programmer Stefan Hendriks. The game is set in Frank Herbert's <em>Dune</em> universe and borrows many elements from Westwood Studios' <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/241/dune-ii-the-building-of-a-dynasty/">Dune II</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>. Taking command of the forces of one of the three Great Houses, the player must conquer the planet Arrakis, which is the only source of the precious spice melange in the known universe.</p>
<p><em>Arrakis</em> features three single-player campaigns spanning over a total of 30 missions (ten per House), and also allows to play skirmish scenarios against AI opponents. While no multiplayer mode is available, there is a built-in random map generator for the skirmish mode, and an editor for the creation of custom user maps is included in the game package.</p>
<p>The gameplay in <em>Arrakis</em> is modelled after the <em>Command &amp; Conquer</em> series of games, with point-and-click unit commands, rubber-band group unit selection and the vertical sidebar interface for building and unit construction. The number of available units and structures is limited, and all Houses share the same technology tree, but this is compensated for by specific modifiers to unit cost, armour, speed and firepower. Thus, while the Atreides are the "average" House, the Harkonnens have more powerful yet more expensive and slow units, and the Ordos rely on fast, cheap but weak forces.</p>
<p>The game uses custom graphics that more or less resembles <em>Command &amp; Conquer</em> and <a href="/search/?q=Dune+2000">Dune 2000</a>, whereas sound effects are all borrowed from <em>Dune II</em>. There is no music but the game engine supports playback of custom WAV files.</p>

<p>Water streams down from the top into a grid of empty boxes, connected by rotatable pieces of plumbing.  The player's task is to rotate and rearrange the pieces so that all the boxes are filled up with water.  This must be done quickly - the water will inevitably leak and pool at the bottom of the screen, then start rising upwards, drowning row after row of boxes as it does.  The level must be finished before the water reaches the top.</p>
<p>Pipe sections can have from one to four openings, and may be rotated individually or in groups of four (which is the only way to rearrange their position on the grid).  Any additional leakage will make the water level rise faster, so open-ended pipes at the bottom or sides of the grid will have to be sealed off.  A box full of water will turn a solid white; as soon as all remaining boxes are filled up, the game progresses to the next level, with a larger number of boxes to deal with.</p>

<p><em>Wham!</em> is a fast arcade game for two players, with a computer or a human opponent through split-screen. The player controls a ship flying in caves trying to destroy your enemies with weapons and bonus add-ons. Opponents fly in the small cave with different spaceships. Some ships are fast but also quite weak, and some ships are slow but they have a lot of energy and power. Players can also design own space ship or cave level.</p>
<p>Ships have weapons such as main cannons and special weapons. Special weapons vary a lot, some of them are very powerful, but at the cost of accuracy and firing rate. Some are very quick to shoot, but don't deal a lot of damage. There is also one weapon which can guide you to the goal. The game contains 60 special weapons, 12 cannons, 10 bonuses and 30 different levels.</p>

<p><em>Mirage Thunder</em> is a top-down vertical scrolling shooter in which player controls a spaceship that flies through complex formations of emerging enemies in space. There is a wide array of weapons and power-ups available, including various guns, lasers, energy blasts, missiles, and satellite drones that aid shooting and can be rotated manually around the plane as player wants them to. Enemies try to both crash into player's spaceship or shoot various missiles to deal the damage. Successful kill of a wave of enemies typically yields a power-up. There are usually several huge boss enemies in each stage. The game shares the same engine with the developer's previous vertical shooter <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/50712/dawn-raider/">Dawn Raider</a>.</p>

The demo also has built-in preview features, including interactive demonstrations of the character generator, spell maker, item maker and potion maker, none of which however affect actual demo gameplay.</p>
<p>Only one character is available for play in the demo, which is a pre-generated 16th level male Breton Spellsword called Magni Ersthaven. Some of the character's attributes, as well as the starting equipment are generated randomly each time the player enters the dungeon. The layout of the dungeon itself is always the same, but types and locations of certain monsters change when the game is restarted. The character may not level up but is able to change equipment and use an array of powerful high-level spells from the spellbook.</p>
<p>Being based on a very early build of <em>Daggerfall</em>, the demo features numerous differences from the final release of the game, noticeable in the interface, graphics and certain game mechanics. Some of the game features are disabled, and there is no way to save or load a game in progress.</p>

<p>From the authors who brought us <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16457/spear-resurrection/">Spear Resurrection</a> comes a direct sequel, further extending the storyline of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/431/spear-of-destiny-series/">Spear of Destiny series</a>. World War II is long over, the Spear and its transcendental powers believed lost forever, and all Nazi plans for resurgence seemingly thwarted. But disturbing things are brewing in a remote area of the Spanish countryside: an old intelligence contact of B.J. Blazkowicz informs him of renewed secret activity amongst Nazi holdouts. Occult machinations are stirring into motion yet again, and it's up to B.J. to uncover the shocking truth and stop them... or die trying.</p>
<p>This installment retains the familiar first-person shooter mechanics of the previous games, where B.J. sneaks into a heavily defended keep and climbs from level to level by eliminating all opposition, finding treasure and secrets along the way. It is structured as a single extra-long 'episode' of 25 normal levels plus 12(!) secret ones, featuring new enemies, bosses and graphics.</p>
<p>The engine is still based on the original SOD source code, but has been further extended with new capabilities: additions include ceiling and floor textures, distance shading, in-game messages, new types of secret areas, more new weapons (a silent stealth-rifle and a rocket launcher), portable medkits, wall switches, rocket turrets and flame-throwing traps. There's even an extra challenge for diehard Wolfers - a new game mode which only allows a limited number of savegames.</p>

<p><em>Ravage</em> is a shareware vertically-scrolling shoot 'em up game that bears a significant similarity to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/511/raptor-call-of-the-shadows/">Raptor</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/586/tyrian/">Tyrian</a>. The plot of the game puts the player into the role of an unnamed pilot who must defeat numerous opposing forces in order to rescue his bride.</p>
<p><em>Ravage</em> has typical shoot 'em up gameplay mechanics: the player's ship must be manoeuvred through each level while dodging projectiles and trying to destroy as many enemy ships and ground vehicles as possible. Based on the player's performance, successful completion of a level is awarded with an amount of credits, which can then be spent to purchase additional weapons for the ship, upgrade existing ones, or to buy an extra life. Game progress can only be saved between levels; during a level, the concept of limited "game lives" is used to allow the player to continue if the ship was shot down.</p>
<p>In addition to the single-player mode, <em>Ravage</em> also has an option for a two-player co-op mode, with the two players using different control devices to steer their ships (e.g. keyboard for the first player and mouse for the second player). The game features fully customizable controls, joystick support and a digitized soundtrack.</p>

<p><em>Super Worms</em> is a 3D game in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6590/super-mario-kart/">Super Mario Kart</a>. The game has two game modes. </p>
<p>In the racing mode, up to two players (and a number of AI racers) can race their worms on a race track filled with power-ups. In the battle mode two players can try to beat each others worm in a death match arena with various power-ups. In both games the worms consist of a number circular segments which can be removed by hitting them with the right powerups.</p>

<p>Not your everyday genre-crossover: this game fuses an arcade space shooter with a... medical simulation.  You command a patrolling space vessel, defending your planet from a devastating attack of biological warfare.  But destroying the plague-bearing enemy ships won't be enough; you'll also have to stop the epidemic by testing experimental medicine on patients.</p>
<p>The game starts as a pseudo-3D shoot-'em-up, with the objective of destroying the hostile forces before your ship runs out of fuel.  Enemy vessels continuously drop "bio-bombs", so a quick victory will mean a longer life for your patients, but don't shoot down friendly medical ships, as they carry vital supplies of serum which you'll be needing soon!</p>
<p>If you can wipe out the enemy fleet, you get to play doctor - time ticks away, and you must use the surviving serum to find a cure for the plague.  There are three drugs you can mix: inject the dying patients with different combinations, observe the resulting blood tests, and try to refine your formula accordingly.  If the blood cell count reaches a million, you'll have the cure... better get to it before all your patients kick the bucket!</p>

<p><em>Robak</em> (Worm) is a black-and-white <em>Snake</em> variant. The player controls a snake in a small room filled with fruits, obstacles and bonus elements. The goal is to eat the food while avoiding the obstacles (including one's own tail) to achieve the necessary length to open the door to the next stage. The player is limited by the amount of food. The worm must attain the sufficient length before supplies run out. Whenever the snake eats a piece of food, it grows longer, making it more difficult to maneuver. The snake moves forward at a constant speed and can be turned in the four cardinal directions. Encountered obstacles shorten the length of the worm. Fruit can rot and change into trees. Bonus elements add extra points.</p>

<p>Adventure novel protagonist Bob Morane, an agent of the Time Patrol, is transported back in time to a thirteenth century castle. His objective: to save the Holy Shroud - the cloth that collected the body of Christ on its descent from the Cross - from being captured by his arch-nemesis, the Yellow Shadow, who seeks to become pope and pervert the course of history.</p>
<p>The game plays similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8571/iznogoud/">Iznogoud</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/27541/sidewalk/">Sidewalk</a>, and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/60477/bob-morane-jungle-1/">Bob Morane: Jungle 1</a>. Action takes place on a tiny portion of the screen; exploring a series of static rooms that interconnect in multiple directions, Bob battles a bastion of besiegers - castle guards, mysterious shrouded dudes, and (except for the Amstrad CPC version) humongous, hairy <em>bears</em>. Yes, the Yellow Shadow is not above manipulating omnivorous mammals towards his nefarious ends. Luckily, Bob can search for hidden items and secret passages to further his aims, and should he perish in action, a giant temporal bubble is ready to encase him and bring him back to the starting point.</p>

<p>Bob Morane, hero of the Francophone series of adventure novels and comic books, parachutes into the South American jungle near the ruins of an Inca sanctuary at the foot of the Andes. Guide Bob through the hostile rainforest and labyrinthine ruins, help him stop his mortal enemy - the Yellow Shadow - from laying his dirty hands on the ancient treasure buried within, and free his friend Bill Ballantine who's being held prisoner on the premises.</p>
<p>Much like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8571/iznogoud/">Iznogoud</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/27541/sidewalk/">Sidewalk</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/60476/bob-morane-chevalerie-1/">Bob Morane: Chevalerie 1</a>, the action is confined to a small viewport and your hero can traverse the static screens in two dimensions, right to left or front to back. You'll have to overcome gigantic jungle beasts, enemy agents, and strange mechanical devices that resemble nothing in particular; fortunately, you can keep track of their locations using your "magneto-thermal detector", and fend them off with your trusty knife or with a bundle of dynamite (also useful for clearing away stubborn walls and blockages).</p>

<p><em>Beats of Rage</em> is an open source brawler fighting game engine. The default game included with the engine is also called of <em>Beats of Rage</em> and it it a 2D brawler inspired by the <a href="/search/?q=Streets+of+Rage">Street of Rage</a> series. Players go through different levels in a city controlled by a criminal syndicate led by a Mr. Y. But three young friends, Kula Gem, Max Bacon and Mandy Bluegard can stop him.</p>
<p>The character sprites and some background art are taken from the <a href="/search/?q=King+of+Fighters">King of Fighters</a> games. Controls consists of four movement and three action keys. The player fights regular enemies and bosses. Some levels feature death drops where the player must avoid falling off, but can throw enemies into that void.</p>

<p>Part of the <em>Mario's Early Years</em> educational series, <em>Preschool Fun</em> is different from the others because it doesn't specialize in a specific subject. Instead, it teaches about the body, shapes, animal noises, counting, opposites, and colors. However, several of the activities share the common theme of following instructions.</p>

<p>There are five suits, each being a complete set of living armour, and they have all invaded Earth. Four Suits are set on laying the planet to waste and the fifth Suit is out to stop them but first it must bond with a host.</p>
<p><em>The Suit</em> is a Virtual Comic in the same series as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23310/they-call-me-the-skul/">They Call Me... The Skul</a>. These are interactive CD's which both tell a story in comic-book style and contain a game featuring the main character from that story. The game in <em>The Suit</em> is a side scrolling shooter game in which the player, as 'The Suit', blasts enemies that appear in windows, doorways and behind dumpsters etc firing bullets, missiles and blasts of power. Power-ups in the form, of replacement weapons appear and have to be shot in order to be collected.</p>
<p>The game is entirely mouse controlled. As with other virtual comics in this series the comic book reader runs in Windows 3.x and Windows 95 while the runs in MS-DOS and/or Windows 95.</p>

<p><em>Iskib</em> is a 2D side-scrolling, arcade-like action game. The player's objective is to run a whole level, avoiding being shot or hit by obstacles. This can be done by controlling the run speed (running faster/slower), jumping or firing a gun. Enemies are represented by spaceships that move in awkward patterns and occasionally drop bombs on the running player. Sometimes mines or rocks block the road and one has to jump over them. Every bomb hit or obstacle hit is fatal, one life is lost and the whole level is restarted. Some power-ups are found on the road: bullets to replenish bullet supply, "extra fire" to make it possible to fire more than 1 bullet simultaneously or "hover" to extend jumping abilities. The game was designed to be included in an issue of <em>Compute!</em> magazine.</p>

<p>Vocabulary game with 5 subgames of four difficulty levels, ranging from age 10 to adult. Different games like platformers, crosswords, word searches, scrambles, and sentence completion help the player learn words, suffixes, and prefixes. Pronunciation plays when a word is clicked. Supports English, Spanish, French, and German vocabulary.</p>

<p>A game of maze navigation in text mode graphics: guide your vehicle from the bottom right of the screen towards the exit at the top left, while avoiding messy encounters with the walls. The game consists of three different mazes (the first two have fixed layouts, while the third is random), and 10 skill levels are selectable - go higher and the action gets faster. Some walls can be fired at to gain passage, but others have a tendency to send your missile flying right back at you.</p>
<p>Finish one maze, and warp to the next one - finish all three, and you'll start over at a higher speed. Considering <em>Datnoids</em>' references to missiles, antimatter walls and hyperspeed jumps, any connection with the eponymous species of freshwater fish remains unclear.</p>

<p><em>Pac 2000</em> is a pretty simple in concept and in options (in the main menu, the player only can redefine the keyboard) low budget <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pac+Man">Pac-Man</a> clone (sold only at newsstands), with a military theme, and a robotic Pac-Man starring.</p>
<p>The game is composed of 5 different missions with 2 levels each. Along the game, the player can take pills with various effects: improve the speed of the robotic Pac-Man, obtain more points, obtain an extra life... And of course, the player can take also the classic pills, that give him temporal invulnerability.</p>

<p>Cargo ships have been disappearing near the planet Lotis IV, home of the Lumpies: entire crews are missing, and this first-person dungeon crawler sends you to investigate.  Unfortunately, your arrival takes the unexpected form of a crash landing, and you find yourself sneaking around the underground Lumpy habitat, unarmed and incommunicado.  Your 3D view is complemented by an overhead map, which fills up as you progress.  Your mission: locate and release the Lumpies' captives, and find the communications room to call for a ride home.</p>
<p>The locals take issue with your intrusion, and every Lumpy you encounter will attempt to engage you in turn-based combat, using... well, anything it can get its greenish little hands on.  Lumpies are famous for their combat prowess, and can visit grievous bodily harm on you whether they're swinging actual weapons, toys, or office supplies: on Lotis IV, an object's worth in battle is measured only by its "power rating", and a #1 Bomb or a #2 Gun are no match for a #6 Briefcase or a #7 Yo-yo.</p>
<p>Defeat a Lumpy, and you get to keep its weapon. Keep in mind that weapons can be destroyed during a fight, at which point it is best to run away, and perhaps hunt down some food to replenish lost hit-points.  The maze has two levels, but the original article in Compute! Magazine - where the BASIC code was published - explains how to add more by modifying the source.</p>

<p>You're Restless Ralph Runabout, hunting for Dr. Sleeptite in his Nightmare Factory deep beneath the Mojave desert, where the mad scientist is working on his latest invention: a machine for creating nightmares.  Six levels of this underground complex await, as chock-full of ladders, platforms and fire-poles as any arch-villain's lair.  Complete each stage by collecting all of the good Doctor's Nightmare Capsules and reaching the exit door - but be sure to avoid Sleeptite's loyal henchmen, the horrendous Killer Pillows, who would love nothing more than to torment you in the night...</p>

<p><em>Bong Bong</em> is a simple arcade platformer, featuring a little bunny rabbit with an unquenchable passion for sugary foodstuffs. Climb ladders, jump over traps and hop across platforms to grab every food item in sight: get them all, and the next level will present an entirely new type of delicacy to quell your appetite. Beware the scorpions, and watch out for mystery jars - most of them will get you a score bonus, but some may contain a snake.</p>

<p>This game came as a pack-in title with Loriciel's light gun controller of the same name. Most light guns opted for a futuristic look and feel, but the West Phaser was inspired more by 19th century Colt revolvers, and aptly enough the bundled game was a Western-themed shooter - with similar mechanics to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3475/operation-wolf/">Operation Wolf</a>, except for the stationary screens.</p>
<p>Up to six players can pick their characters from a Who's Who of the American Old West: Doc Holliday, Calamity Jane, Will Bill Hickok, and every other big-name lawman and gunfighter in collective imagination. Outlaws like Jesse James, Billy the Kid and Belle Starr are sowing terror in the murky saloons and dusty streets, and it's your job to stop them if you're after that coveted Sheriff's badge... or the big fat rewards on their heads.</p>
<p>Each location throws wave after wave of humorously-drawn attackers at you - bandits, cowboys, Indians, Mexicans, all thrown together into a big pile of cartoonish violence. A burning candle represents your life bar and there's plenty of enemies trying to snuff it out, so you'll have to be quick on the draw (but don't forget to protect the innocent). When the face of the bandit you're after starts blinking on the status bar, prepare for the showdown: nail them and the reward is yours.</p>
<p>Apparently the light gun was not the biggest success, and less than three years later the game was re-released, this time with support for other input devices - and a new title, <em>Steve McQueen: Westphaser</em>, despite having exactly nothing to do with any of McQueen's characters.</p>

<p><em>Shadow Ape</em> is a point-and-click adventure game. You play as a five year old boy who enters a mysterious house to find the mythical shadow ape that no one thinks really exists. You have three commands at your disposal - do, take and use - which you can use in combination with items you find in the house. The screen is divided into different sections. There's a visual part where the environment is shown, buttons for directions and items, the command buttons, and a large part where the description of the environment or feedback on actions is written in text.</p>

<p><em>Duke Nukem's Penthouse Paradise</em> is an official add-on level for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/365/duke-nukem-3d/">Duke Nukem 3D</a>, available exclusively from GT Interactive and Penthouse Magazine. Taking place between <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/365/duke-nukem-3d/">Duke Nukem 3D</a> and the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2231/duke-nukem-3d-plutonium-pak/">Plutonium Pak</a>, aliens interrupt Duke's vacation and a couple of Penthouse photo shoots. Duke has to fight his way through a hotel, clubs and finally the Penthouse offices.</p>

<p>Based on events from the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3703/robotech-series/">Robotech</a> animated series, the crustacean Invid have invaded the Earth and set up a base of operations, code-named Reflex Point. Holed up inside is the Invid Prince, who must be defeated to ensure the destruction of the base.</p>
<p>As a freedom fighter, you will make use of the multiform vehicles familiar from the series - the Cyclone, a futuristic motorcycle that converts into a powered armor suit, and the Alpha, an aerospace fighter that morphs into a robotic form. Various stages will be encountered en route to Reflex Point; at the beginning, you'll have to avoid pitfalls while traveling by Cyclone, and switch to first-person armor mode in order to chase off Invid troopers. Once you get to your Alpha mecha, a short but perilous flight will take you to the enemy base, where you will have to pierce the laser barrier and face off against the Prince.</p>

<p>A simple tactical combat simulation for two players, set upon a hex grid map.  The conflict takes place in the Cold War, with six Soviet Red Army units on the offensive against a triad of cities, defended by four US Army units.  </p>
<p>Obeying certain rules, e.g. according to the type of terrain and the placement of enemy units, each side gets a movement phase and an attack phase per game turn.  Combat will either eliminate one of the sides or force it to retreat; cities and woods provide a defense bonus.  Both sides must meet their respective goals within 10 game turns: the Soviets win if they can occupy and hold at least two of the cities; otherwise, victory goes to the Americans.  PCjr Cartridge BASIC is required to run the game.</p>

<p>Another variation on the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Star+Trek+variants">Star Trek</a> computer game, and one of Windmill Software's first products. The Klingon and Romulan empires have formed a United Front for picking on the Federation, and the player is put in command of the USS Enterprise, in all its ASCII glory, to counter the threat.</p>
<p>Enemy forces are spread throughout the grid representing the galaxy - 10x10 sectors in this version, with each sector having its own detailed map - and must be eliminated before the stardate limit expires. To that end, your arsenal includes phases, photon torpedoes and antimatter pods; your warp drive will take you across the galaxy, and impulse power lets you steer your way within sectors. Ship statistics and system damage are tracked in detail, so if you plan to live long (not to mention prosper) be sure to use the ship's computer to distribute power as needed, and dock at a starbase from time to time to refuel and repair.</p>
<p>This adaptation boldly goes and adds a few enhancements, most significantly a real-time element: enemy ships will continuously attack and dodge while you're warming up the captain's seat. Five difficulty levels are available, and besides the usual Klingon ships, higher levels feature Romulans, Commander-class starships, and even the occasional Tholian vessel (called "Tholean" here). Torpedoes may be fired at a star to induce a nova (which conveniently disposes of nearby enemies), and certain events occur randomly, e.g. supernovas that completely destroy a sector. Thanks to the 80-column text mode, a single tactical screen suffices to keep track of the action.</p>

<p><em>Phase2</em> is a 3D first-person shooter game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Zarch">Zarch</a>. The player controls a spaceship and flies through different environments shooting enemies. Each level consists of a closed environment and the ship can be moved in any direction. A mini-map in the top left corner shows the position of enemies. The ship also needs to watch out for mountains and other parts in the environment. Destroying enemies is rewarded with a currency that can be used at an equipment shop to purchase new items such as nitrogas, photon torpedos or exploding bullets. The shareware version is limited to 10 levels on 2 planets, while the registered version contains 30 levels with 4 planets in total, as well as a graphic level editor.</p>

<p>An adaptation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3173/snake-variants/">Snake</a> where your multi-segmented character represents a garden hose: move it about in four directions across the playfield, collect targets to proceed, and make sure to avoid your own tail and other barriers.</p>
<p>All targets ("faucets") shown on screen must be picked up before the timer runs out. In earlier levels you only get one at a time, but this later increases to two and three; if you take too long, a new set appears and your hose grows longer as punishment. Beat the clock three times to proceed to the next "yard", with an extra life ("spare hose") for your trouble. Later levels also set the "pressure valve" higher, which increases the timer's speed.</p>
<p>Two different level sets are included: in the "amateur" levels, movement controls behave as you'd expect, and you turn at right angles; the "professional" levels feature a pseudo-isometric scheme, where the vertical axis becomes diagonal, to make things trickier.</p>

<p>Journey to the red planet of Swandah to prove your worth as a galactic knight.  In the time-honored tradition of "Sword and Planet" tales, legends whisper of a cursed underground maze of caverns somewhere in the general area, defended by ancient monstrosities and concealing great mysteries.  No one has ever been known to return from the planet, so how these stories came about is not at all clear; be that as it may, there's clearly a Quest here just calling for a dashing hero.</p>
<p>The red planet's underbelly is comprised of three game worlds (the shareware version contains only the first), each divided into stages.  Progress generally involves moving through the rooms in the correct order and finding the right set of keys, while dodging a generous assortment of tricks and traps.  The caves' weird inhabitants won't help matters either - fortunately, the player will have five different weapons to choose from, each especially suited for a particular type of enemy or obstacle.  Power-ups such as life boosters, bombs and shields may be stored and used at will.</p>
<p>A special kind of power-up is the robot: a free-floating metallic companion that can be programmed to follow the player, to stay put, or to travel independently by remote control.  The robot can be equipped with ammo of its own, and may gain access to otherwise unreachable areas - judicious usage will be required to solve some of the puzzles. A special training level is available to practice its use (along with other aspects of the game mechanics).</p>

<p>Player is put in command of a MBT (main battle tank) in Desert Storm operation started in January 1991. There are 20 missions of increased difficulty to complete one-by-one. Before each mission starts, players may select one of four tanks equipped with a certain number of heat and APFSDS (armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot) rounds. This number may be adjusted. Briefing describes the current mission objectives, which vary from destroying all enemy tanks on the battlefield to destroying a convoy or specific headquarters structures. At battlefield players may drive the tank, rotate tank's turret, and switch between cockpit and machine gun view. In cockpit view players may zoom the aim in/out and shoot a selected type of rounds from the main gun. In machine gun view player may shoot from the machine gun, which is effective against helicopters at close range. If players complete the mission objective in the battlefield, the combat finishes and the story progresses to the next mission. If the mission objective was not completed, but the tank is safe, it is possible to play the same mission again. But the player stops the game completely if his tank was destroyed. Player may be awarded with a medal.</p>

<p>Mika Huy has received the assignment from her boss at "The Realiser", Reality-on-the-Norm's local newspaper, to make three photographs for the upcoming issue. The photographs of the alley bum (former Litton police officer Sinny Binds), grave of Davy Jones, and zombie Mayor Michael Gower are necessary. Player should help Mika to complete this mission in classic point-n-click icon-based adventure.</p>

<p><em>Steel Panthers: Campaign Disk 2</em> adds 3 Campaigns and 40 Scenarios to Steel Panthers.</p>

<p>A variation on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/131/pac-man-variants/">Pac-Man</a> born of the fact that, after all, 640 KB of RAM is <em>not</em> necessarily enough for everyone. When IBM PC business applications started running into the conventional memory wall, various solutions began to crop up on the market, usually involving memory expansion cards. One of these was Intel's Above Board, as advertised by this game.</p>
<p>Each level is a maze dotted with memory chips, and the player controls an actual Above Board: a cutesy anthropomorphized green PCB complete with RAM chips, a Stetson, cowboy boots, and a net for trapping Memory Hogs - pinkish little piglets that attempt to devour the precious silicon before the player can do so. The "super chips", located in the four corners of each maze, will "supercharge" the player for a limited time, allowing the porcine pests to be captured. Each hog snared awards a "bonus software package", bringing in several popular business applications of the day for a cameo role.</p>

<p>The game proposes the archive of 365 "LA Times" crossword puzzles for the player to solve. Player may load the puzzle, examine the puzzle grid, move around the grid to select Across and Down clues, and type in letters of the word for an answer. The clock automatically starts when a puzzle is loaded and stops when a puzzle is completed. Player may adjust several hint features such as identifying wrong letters by crossing them out, revealing a single letter at current position, revealing the entire word, etc. </p>
<p>In-game English dictionary is present to assist the player in solving the puzzle. The dictionary may be searched through with 3 patterns:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Best</em> - words found fit the pattern of the search location as well as all words crossing it,</li>
<li><em>All</em> - words found fit the pattern of the search location, however adjoining words are not considered,</li>
<li><em>Anagram</em> - unscramble a group of letters or search for all words which fit a word pattern specified with question marks in places of unknown letters.</li>
</ul>
<p>Custom symmetric and non-symmetric puzzles may be created with in-game editor. Symmetric puzzles vary from 5x5 to 21x21, while non-symmetric vary from 1(21) to 1(21). </p>
<p>While playing, the puzzle solution may be saved in progress. All puzzles may be printed.</p>

<p>Dolly is an android who escaped from the factory under mysterious circumstances. She was captured by its creators, but eventually managed to flee with the help of the science technician Amy. The two girls suddenly find themselves teleported to a fantasy world, and must find a way to return home.</p>
<p><em>Foresight Dolly</em> is a role-playing game that can be described as "light". The player controls Dolly who travels through interconnected areas, most of which consisting of dungeon-like passages. Dolly can equip a weapon and one item as armor. Enemies are visible on screen, and contact with them triggers a turn-based battle, where Dolly can attack physically or use special techniques. Experience and money are gained from combat. The game also has a day and night cycle; Dolly and Amy would automatically go to sleep late in the evening, restoring Dolly's hit points.</p>

<p><em>Charly the Clown</em> is a platform game where the player controls Charly the Clown, trying to escape a jungle filled with dangerous creatures. Charly can find coins and large score bonuses on his way, as well as weapon pickups which allow him to toss marbles at enemies until the ammunition runs out. Charly has a limited amount of health, which can be replenished by collecting health pickups. Some levels contain a hidden entrance to a bonus level.</p>

<p><em>Mario &amp; Luigi</em> is an unofficial DOS remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7298/super-mario-bros/">Super Mario Bros</a>. </p>
<p>Just like in the original game, it features Mario the plumber, jumping around, collecting pickups and defeating enemies across Mushroom Kingdom. Mario can find a mushroom which makes him grow, and a fire flower that allows him to shoot fireballs.</p>

<p><em>Larax &amp; Zaco</em> is a platform game. Each level takes place in and around a building with bonus items scattered around. To complete a level, the player must collect a certain number of specific items, as well as demolish a certain percentage of the building. </p>
<p>For purposes of demolition the player is equipped with several types of bombs. The protagonist can deploy a bomb next to himself, and it will explode after a time, destroying or moving nearby architectonic structures. Destroyed structures turn into rubble which may block one's way, but can be removed completely with bombs. The various parts of the buildings follow the laws of physics; for instance, a bomb detonated next to a column can push this column to the side, causing the floor above it to lose support and come crashing down, thus bringing down also the walls above this floor. </p>
<p>The protagonist has a limited amount of health, and loses it when he finds himself underneath falling rubble or comes in contact with roaming monsters (which can be defeated with bombs and leave behind items to collect.) Losing all health makes the protagonist die, and he may respawn when the player wills it. It's possible to destroy the required bonus items with bombs, thus requiring the player to restart the level. </p>
<p>Two-player split-screen gameplay is available.</p>

<p><em>Rally Sport</em> is a racing game for one or two players. The game is played from a third person perspective, is fully 3D modeled and features rudimentary physics and dynamic lighting effects.</p>
<p>There are 8 cars to choose from, although these are the same 3 models with different colors. There are 15 tracks to choose from, set in grassy mountain, gravel and ice environments. There are deep water hazards, slippery ice tracks, obstacles and spectators throughout all the tracks. If players drive into deep water or topple their car, they will be reset onto the track but this takes precious time. In the ice tracks, snow causes big smoke like clouds behind the car and ice is extra slippery. You can drive anywhere you want and go off track, but this is considerably slower than staying on track. Spectators can be run over, causing comical screams.</p>
<p>You can play as single player practise mode with no opponents, or play against a computer opponent. Two player games can be played in splitscreen or single screen. In splitscreen mode the players compete for the best lap time. In single screen mode the players score points by racing as far ahead as possible so the other player goes off screen, similar to <a href="/search/?q=micro-machines">Micro Machines</a>.</p>
<p>The game uses a non-standard keyboard layout that cannot be changed and takes some getting used to. Player 1 can steer with , and . and uses A and Z to accelerate and brake. Player 2 uses the numeric keypad, 4 and 1 to accelerate and brake and 2 and 3 to steer.</p>

<p><em>Double Cross</em> is a puzzle-solving game for two players. The aim is to build a solid bridge from one side of the board to the other while preventing the opponent from doing same connection.<br>
The board is composed of an array of dots - each one representing a valid place for playing piece. There are two sets of finish lines on the board (horizontal, vertical), each painted in the color that represents the player that must connect them.</p>
<p>Each player takes a turn and places a piece with their color on one of the dots on the board. You may place your piece on any dot, except those that are on the outside of on one of your opponent's finish lines. The game continues until the construction of the bridge is completed or there is insufficient space on the board.</p>

Some of the games will run directly from the CD while others, denoted by white entries on the menu, must be copied to the player's hard drive. </p>
<p>It's not unusual in compilations like this for the publisher to get the name wrong and there are several errors in this product which is why the following list shows two names for some entries.

<p><em>Gravity Wars</em> is a two player, freeware, space shooter/strategy game.</p>
<p>The play area, which has a star-field background contains two spaceships which look a bit like the old Enterprise from Star Trek and a Klingon bird of prey. The players take turns to launch missiles at each other by entering an angle and a velocity.
However in the play area there are also a number of planets whose gravitational fields affect the trajectory of the missiles so much so that it is quite possible to launch a missile, have it disappear off-screen, and then come back to hit the ship that launched it. The game is over when one or other ship is hit.</p>
<p>There are no sound effects just an optional tune that plays when a game is won, no high score table, and the game is entirely keyboard controlled.</p>

<p><em>Tree Masacre</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled, arcade skiing game written by 
 <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/19406/mark-botta/">Mark Botta</a>. It was developed as a programming exercise in QuickBASIC and it is freeware.</p>
<p>The player controls a character who is skiing down a long slope. Despite what the title says, points are gained for NOT hitting the trees. The game keeps a total of trees passed and retains a high score for each gaming session but which is not retained from one session to the next.
When the player hits a tree the game is over, their current score is reset to zero and the game starts again.</p>

<p>This compilation consists of three simplified sport games: * <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Baseball">Baseball</a> for up to two players. The game provides the possibility to determine the composition and play a match one of the six teams available;</p>

<p><em>Wall $treet Raider</em> is a long-running, stock market trading game. </p>
<p>The current version, version 6.70 (2013), is played by one to five players with the computer optionally taking one of the player roles. 
At the start of the game the player(s) decide how long the game will run by setting the difficulty level and the number of game-years to be played. Each year has four trading quarters each of which represents one turn per player. Players start with a small inherited fortune and when it is their turn to play they can do virtually anything a trader can do, and more.
Stock in any company can be traded, loans can be arranged, companies can be researched, the holdings of other players can be investigated as can their relative net worth. The player can arrange buy-outs, mergers, issue junk bonds, make public offerings, liquidate companies, sue competitors and much, much more. The game even allows the player to become CEO of companies which they can then asset strip, liquidate or nurture.</p>
<p>The game has expanded considerably since the early days, it's still about trading stocks and managing and manipulating companies in order to make money but it's larger, easier to use has even more options. 
It now has more companies (1590), more industries(70) and can be played by up to five players. Whereas the original game used only dollars as its currency the current game with its world wide fan-base can be played in any of twenty-five different currencies. 
Another major change in the game since the early days has been the introduction of ethical decisions where breaking the law can have big pay-offs as well as major penalties if they get caught.</p>
<p>The game was initially developed as a board game in 1967 while the author, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/581766/michael-d-jenkins/">Michael D. Jenkins</a>, was at Harvard. Over several years of playing and refinement the board game grew and became very complex taking many hours, even days to complete.</p>
<p>A computer version was released commercially in 1986 and despite good reviews it did not sell well. Upon reacquiring the rights to the software <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/581766/michael-d-jenkins/">Michael Jenkins</a> released the game as shareware in 1988 and it has been in development ever since, initially running under DOS and under Windows since 2001.</p>
<p>DOS Version 4.0 was released in 1993. It had 250 companies and 36 industries and was played by two to four players with the computer taking the part of one player if required. It was played for a maximum of twenty-five game-years by one to four players.</p>

<p><em>Nienawidzę Ortografii</em> is an educational game. The player's task is to arrange the word with the letters scattered around the maze. The player moves the letters by using a small car. After completing the board the player must correctly write a sentence,
which appear at the bottom of the screen while playing the previous level. The game features sixty levels that can be selected in any order. After passing all the boards the player may use the level editor.</p>

<p><em>Żmija</em> is an adaptation of the classical concept of snake games. The player has to guide a worm through a labyrinth. The player must feed the worm to score points and gain access to the next board, however feeding the worm makes it grow longer. The worm loses a life when he bites its own tail. If the worm manages to eat all the apples and reach the exit doors, he will be transferred to the next level. The game contains several additives to facilitate the completion of the board, such as: spring (allows you to jump over the tail), conditioner (reduces the snake size), missiles and more.  </p>
<p>The game features a total of seventy levels.</p>

<p><em>Ski Jump International</em> is a keyboard-controlled ski jumping simulator. Earlier versions of the game are now very obscure, but version 3 is still available for download. The game is available as shareware, but it can also be registered for a rather modest sum, which gives access to some features.</p>
<p>The game includes several jumping hills, loosely based on real ones - mostly ones used in real World Championships and World Cup competitions. Their K-points (distances used as basis for calculating jump distance into points) are based on reality, though now largely outdated, their appearance is definitely non-realistic. The game also includes hill records that were real at some point and continued being updated for some time, but are now also outdated.</p>
<p>It is possible to train on each hill and to play in competition mode. The game features several kinds of competitions:</p>
<ul>
<li>World Cup - quite faithfully based on real World Cup rules (50 jumpers qualifying to the first round, 15 top athletes with automatic qualification, etc.), hosted on all original hills in the game. Injury is also possible and causes the competitor to miss a certain number of individual competitions.</li>
<li>Custom World Cup - only on selected hills (both original and player-made ones are possible), with possibility to compete against others on the internet. However, the game doesn't offer direct internet access and jump replays had to be uploaded on the game's website.</li>
<li>Four Hills Tournament - the legendary tournament held in Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck, and Bischofshofen, now included in the World Cup series, but with some different rules.</li>
<li>Team Cup - a team competition (each national team consists of four jumpers), only available to registered players.</li>
<li>King of the Hill - a special kind of competition, against human or computer jumpers, where the last contestant is excluded after each round until only one is left.</li>
</ul>
<p>Registered users are also able to create their own hills which can use self-made graphics.</p>

<p><em>TEGL Monopoly</em> is a more-or-less faithful shareware recreation of the American version of Parker's classic board game.</p>
<p>The game is played with the mouse or with the keyboard, there is no save-game function and apart from a few beeps there's no sound.</p>
<p>The game starts with the players deciding on their credit limit, they can have $500, $1000, $2000, $32768 or no credit at all. They then select their tokens, this is one point where the game deviates from the board game in that the tokens are tiny people of various colours. The players then take turns clicking on the dice icon, once to start the dice spinning and once to stop them. The little person walks the appropriate number of squares and the player buys the property, pays rent, or it's put up for auction.
For the most part the game is entirely faithful to the board game, indeed the in-game documentation refers the player to Parker's rules in places. However it differs in the following, crucial, areas:* Firstly the supply of houses and hotels is inexhaustible</p>
<ul>
<li>Houses and hotels can be built unevenly* Property can be traded without having to sell all the houses first</li>
</ul>
<p>In the documentation the shareware game refers to itself as the 'The Electronic Monopoly Designer Kit' saying that 'the source code is designed to allow modifications to meet the different playing rules that players have developed'.</p>

<p><em>War-8}!</em> is a two player, shareware game similar to Scorched Earth and Worms. </p>
<p>Both players have five tanks which are dropped onto a computer generated 2D landscape. The object of the game is to score points by destroying all the opponents tanks and optionally the buildings that populate the landscape.</p>
<p>When it's their turn each player selects one of their tanks and a weapon. Aiming the weapon is an exercise in hand/eye co-ordination. The game provides two circles at the top of the screen. The first has a rotating arm that sets the direction of the shot while the second has coloured segments that indicate the power of the shot. While these are being selected they are mirrored in the game area which makes things just a tad easier. Once the player has chosen each of these the weapon is fired and hopefully does some damage.
The weapons available are a rocket propelled grenade, an amplified light pulse, and two forms of missile.</p>
<p>Unlike some other games of this type, <a href="/search/?q=Worms">Worms</a> for example, there's no wind or weather to alter the trajectory.</p>

<p><em>Patriot Command</em> is a shareware game for one or more players, it is one of many <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Missile+Command+variants">games</a> based on the classic arcade game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Missile+Command">Missile Command</a>.</p>
<p>The player has a number of cities along the bottom of the screen together with two missile sites. They are faced with successive waves of incoming warheads which they must destroy to protect their cities. They achieve this by targeting their limited supply missiles so that they detonate close enough to the incoming warheads so that the blast radius will encompass and destroy them.  </p>
<p>In addition to standard warheads the player also faces stealth warheads that are both harder to see and harder to destroy together enemy aircraft that fly across the screen at high altitude.</p>
<p>The objective is to destroy incoming warheads and score as many points as possible before the cities are destroyed at which point the game is over.</p>
<p>The game is mouse controlled, moving the mouse targets the incoming rockets while the left &amp; right buttons fire missiles from the left &amp; right missile sites. It has* five skill levels</p>
<ul>
<li>for slow computers it can be customised to use square blasts rather than the more computationally intensive round ones</li>
<li>it supports multi-player hot-seat gaming where typically each player plays for five minutes before handing over to the next 'commander'.</li>
<li>multiple backgrounds supplied with the game and more were available from the developer</li>
</ul>
<p>The shareware game was available for download from bulletin boards etc. It was fully functional but became non functional after several minutes.</p>

<p><em>Crime Lab: Case Of The Missing Masterpiece</em> is a very short, shareware, educational single player game focused on the forensic procedure of blood typing.</p>
<p>The Acme Art Gallery was burgled on April 1st, 1988 and the thief made off with a valuable painting, hence the title. As a crime lab technician the player's job is to analyse a blood sample. After quite a few detailed screens explaining the principles of the science behind this process the player prepares two reference samples and a sample taken from the crime scene. Based on the results of their analysis they then choose from a suspect list whose blood types are known.</p>
<p>The game is keyboard controlled, has no sound and can be replayed because the culprit changes.</p>

<p><em>Dragcity U.S.A.</em> is a single-player, shareware, drag racing game where the objective is to achieve the fastest time possible in a drag race.</p>
<p>The game is mouse or keyboard controlled and there's not much sound other that a base thrumming when the car accelerates. Game play is simple and basically consists of trundling up to the start line, waiting until the green light shows, then accelerating through the gears as fast as possible and continuing the acceleration through to the finish line. Within a couple of runs for practice each race takes around eleven seconds or less.   </p>
<p>The game keeps a record of the best time of each session but there's no high score table and the race time from one session is not held over to the next. To improve the race time the player can tinker with the car's gear ratios.</p>

<p><em>A.R.S.E.N.A.L</em> is a shareware real-time strategy game that is in many aspects similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/241/dune-ii-the-building-of-a-dynasty/">Dune II</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>. Gameplay elements include base construction, resource gathering and large-scale combat with ground, naval and air units. The game also introduces several unique elements to the genre: for example, all vehicles consume fuel, and the players need to maintain a supply network of gasoline trucks to keep their forces operational. Units also gain experience in combat, and this places an emphasis on micromanagement, encouraging the player to protect and repair damaged units, rather than rely on waves of expendable forces.</p>
<p>There are three single-player game modes in <em>A.R.S.E.N.A.L</em>: tutorial, campaign mode and custom game. However, there is no multiplayer. The tutorial consists of 10 missions which progressively increase in difficulty, intended to introduce new players to the basics of the game. It is necessary to play through the tutorial first to unlock the two other modes: completing the three first tutorial missions gives the player the ability to play custom games, and to play the campaigns the player must first achieve the rank of Captain in tutorial mode. There are two campaigns, each 10 missions long, which are considerably more difficult than the tutorial campaign.</p>
<p>The story of the tutorial and the campaigns is set in a fictional alternate history World War II where an alliance of European nations fights against Communist invasion. Custom games are played on randomly generated maps, with five factions available for play: Normo, Psycho, Shyzo, Parano and Fanato. Each faction, with the exception of Normo, has a unique special weapon, otherwise all of them share the same technology tree. In the custom game mode, it is possible to play with computer controlled allies, and also set alliances for computer players.</p>
<p><em>A.R.S.E.N.A.L</em> supports a range of high-resolutions modes, changeable during play. The registered version features a CD soundtrack, but the shareware version does not have any music. Additionally, saving and loading games is disabled in the shareware version, and the player does not have access to higher-level units and technologies.</p>

<p><em>Pool Shark</em> is a two player, shareware, pool game. </p>
<p>It is mouse controlled, has sound and configuration options including table colour, pocket size, and player names. The shareware release, version 1.1, has just six balls on the table while the full release, version 1.2, has a full set of sixteen balls.</p>

<p><em>Sorry!</em> is a board game produced by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/3135/parker-brothers/">Parker Brothers</a>, this is a freeware version of that game for one to four players.</p>
<p>The game itself has many similarities with Pachisi and Ludo. Players draw cards to determine how far they can move their tokens, the object being to be the first to get all their pieces into the centre of the board. Meanwhile other players can knock opponents pieces from the board if they draw 'Sorry' card.</p>
<p>This game was developed using TurboPascal v4.0.</p>

<p><em>VGAWHEEL</em> is a wheel of fortune, shareware game for one to three players. It is based upon an earlier game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/69279/egawheel/">EGAWHEEL</a> which uses a different graphical standard.</p>
<p>The game play follows the famous television game. The player(s) are presented with words which can be a phrase, a name or a thing. All the letters are blanked out and they take turns in guessing which letters could be part of the hidden word(s). Before each choice is made the eponymous "Wheel Of Fortune" is spun and this determines the value of each letter revealed, or it may bankrupt the player or cause them to miss a turn.</p>
<p>The game is played entirely with the keyboard, it has sound effects and comes with a puzzle editor.
The shareware game with two hundred puzzles was distributed via Bulletin Boards, BBSs, and was a taster of the full game which had seven thousand puzzles.</p>

<p><em>The World Name Game</em> is a single player, shareware, educational game based on capitals of the world as they were in 1990.</p>
<p>This is a simple keyboard driven game in which the player is presented with an outline map, which may/may not have surrounding countries and/or cities to give a clue. The target city which the player must identify is shown as a dot within a circle and the player must type in the correct spelling of that city.</p>
<p>The game can be used to test the player on cities around the world or on just US cities.</p>
<p>The game can be played in three modes where the player has to identify either US cities, world capitals, or world capitals or their countries. There are also study modes where the target cities can be displayed on a map so that the player can study and memorise them.</p>

<p><em>Monsoon</em> is a LucasArts style adventure game that takes place on the island Santa Lanchia. On a beautiful day the main character decided to go fishing but once at sea it started to rain and then lightning hit the boat turning it into scrap. Luckily for the hero he and the boat wreckage drifted ashore on the island Santa Lanchia. Santa Lanchia is a Sicilian colony where people who cant behave are sent and they are like one big "familia". To get off the island the hero must get his boat repaired but before anyone will help him he must obtain permission from the islands big boss. This game was written in C++ using Allegro.</p>

<p>In <em>Char</em> the player takes control over 22 year old Mack, who on a Thursday night decided to 
dust off his old NES and play some old games. The NES doesn't work, Mack goes berserk and kicks it repeatedly until it explodes. When Mack comes back to his senses he discovers that he is trapped inside the NES-unit. The player starts with 9 lives and a machine gun and must now get Mack back into the real world. The backdrop for each level comes from various NES-games (such as Castlevania and Super Mario Bros). Not all enemies are hurt by the players weapon but the ones who are will turn into a rain of coins when they die, collect 200 of these coins to gain an extra life. This game was written in C++ using Allegro.</p>

<p><em>The Oakflat Nuclear Power Plant Simulator</em> is a single player, shareware, simulation of the operation of a nuclear power station.</p>
<p>The object of the game is to maintain a stable reaction and generate electricity by manipulation of the control rods and the primary &amp; secondary cooling pumps. After each attempt the player is given a score based on how much power was generated and how long the reactor was running. </p>
<p>The simulation has been in existence for many years and on three different platforms. Over time it has matured and increased in complexity to include among other things earthquake and other disaster simulations, and extensive controls, self test functions, and improved sounds. The current Windows release is designed to simulate a 1.5 GWe pressurized light-water nuclear reactor and adjoining power plant. It is operated by either the keyboard or a mouse or both to control rod settings, coolant pump rates, damage control, pressure release valves, reactor scrams, and much more and it maintains a log file so that the player can review the impact of their actions/inaction and make better decisions next time.</p>

<p>This is the last of four Treasure games in this subgroup of the Super Solver series of educational adventures.  The Master of Mischief was removed from Treasure Cove, and goes to Crystal City in deep space.  He turns some asteroids into destructive Disasteroids, attacks Crystal City and shatters its crystals. The Super Solvers are called to recover the crystal shards and save the city. The goal is to recover all crystals and bring them back to the queen in her palace. This is done by first capturing animated fireballs called "sunbeams".  If you answer their riddles correctly, they will help you decode a cipher that must be cracked in order to get the crystals hidden in the satellites. Each stage will have a different cipher that goes toward all the satellites in it. There's a different 4-digit passcode for each of three separate stages.  Kids aged 5-9 will use math and critical-thinking skills to measure everyday objects, arrange geometric shapes, identify calendar dates, do basic fractions and more. The difficulty of each separate category of puzzle changes depending on how well the player does with that type of puzzle.</p>

<p><em>Wild Pitch!</em> is a shareware Baseball simulation.</p>
<p>The game places the player in the role of manager, or skipper, of a major league team. In this role the player gets to choose teams, position their defensive players, choose team tactics such as bunt, hit and run, and more. As is usual with team management games many kinds of statistics are available and these can be viewed before, during, or after a match.</p>
<p>This is a DOS game but it can be played via the keyboard or via the mouse and it features drop down menu boxes which give it an early windows feel.</p>

<p><em>Digital League Baseball</em> is a single player, shareware, baseball simulation.</p>
<p>The player can select either the four major leagues of the USA, The National League East &amp; West and the American League East &amp; West. Having chosen a league they then choose two teams, a home team and a visiting team, select the players from the squad, decide the batting order, the pitcher, and the game starts.  </p>
<p>This is an old game and processing power when it was developed wasn't great. As a result the game has adopted a novel approach to delivering graphics. All the action takes place on small windows that appear on the main game area. A typical sequence starts with a window opening to show the pitcher throwing the ball to the hitter. If the ball is struck it flies out of that window which promptly closes, a new one opens depicting the ball approaching a fielder who may/may not catch the ball. Often the fielder will catch the ball and immediately throw it to one of the bases so that window closes and another one opens showing whether the runner made it safely to the base or not.</p>
<p>When a game is over the player is shown the current league table and is invited to select another pair of teams to play each other.</p>
<p>The game has sound effects typical of games of this age namely blips as the ball is hit and something to simulate applause when a runner makes it home safely. There are also in-game options to change the team, substitute the pitcher, steal, bunt, view in-game stats and more.</p>

<p>This compilation contains:* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1766/red-baron/">Red Baron</a></p>

<p><em>Power Putt</em> is a shareware, computerised version of crazy golf.</p>
<p>The game is controlled by a combination of keyboard controls and the mouse. Taking a shot is broken down into the following tasks.* The position on the tee is selected via the number keys</p>
<ul>
<li>the arrow keys are then used to set the direction of the shot</li>
<li>finally there are two power bars which control the power and accuracy of the shot, these are set by either the ENTER key or a mouse button.</li>
</ul>
<p>Shots taken on the green are identical but, obviously, omit the tee selection stage. The game keeps track of the player.</p>
<p>The game was released as single player, shareware game with just five holes while the full game which has eighteen holes and caters for more players was available upon registration.</p>

<p><em>Soccer</em> is a single player, shareware, strategy game in which the player takes on the computer.</p>
<p>The game takes place on a rectangular gridded arena which has 'goals' at either end. Players take turns to make three moves horizontally, vertically or diagonally, the object being to end up in the opponents goal.
The game has rudimentary sound and is keyboard or mouse controlled.</p>

<p><em>Gettysburg</em> is a one or two player, shareware, computerised version of an old-school war-game of this historic battle of the American Civil War.</p>
<p>The game is played on a hexagonal grid of which the player can see only a part while moving their units. A full battlefield view is available but this is an overview and units cannot be moved while in this mode. The computer highlights each of the players pieces in turn, highlighted pieces flash on and off, and the player can make up to four moves per unit using the numeric keypad.</p>
<p>Enemy units are attacked by moving next to them and attempting to occupy their space on the grid. When all the pieces in the current segment of the battlefield have been moved the computer switches to the next segment and then the next until all the player's units have been moved, then the computer or the second player moves their pieces. After each round the player(s) are shown the current score and are given the option of saving their game.</p>

<p>A text mode implementation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> was hidden in the <em>RemorseView</em> application included in the program's art packs and intended to facilitate viewing of their ASCII artwork.</p>
<p>To recap the gameplay basics, in a nutshell, the player gets a side-on view of characters in a top-down maze: the yellow gobbling mouth is controlled by the player and its goal is to eat (by moving on to them using keyboard directions) all of the power pellets located on the map. Also on the board are wandering ghosts, who will usually kill Pac-Man if they come into contact with him or with power pills in the corners, which temporarily turn the ghosts blue and vulnerable. This version does not include elements such as the fruit bonuses.</p>

<p>In the year 80,000 AD, humankind has reached the peak of its evolution and is facing the threat of de-evolution. In their panicked attempts to shed their corporeal forms, they mistakenly introduced mutations into the gene pool. In time, only a select few retained enough brain power to continue the scientific research. One of these researchers, known as Temporus, decides to play God by pitting some of history's greatest warriors together in a grand tournament -- the results of which will decide whether or not humankind is worth saving!</p>
<p>The player is tasked with mastering the fighting style and special skills of one of five available characters, in order to lead him to victory. Each fighter has his own unique strengths, weaknesses, and attack range. One thing however is the same for all: there is but one chance to succeed!</p>

<p>A real-time strategy/action game set in a randomly-generated universe, for one or two human players (the computer can bring the total number of combatants up to four). Each side starts out with a starbase and up to twelve ships, and sets out on a mission of arbitrary length, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new special items and new stronghold planets, and to boldly go and blast the enemy's base and ships out of the stars. In an early example of remote multiplayer support, two human players may battle each other via modem - with or without extra computer enemies.</p>
<p>Despite its title, <em>Trek</em> has little to do with the grid-locked, turn-based <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/7548/star-trek-variants/">Star Trek</a> school of games, although that universe's influence is apparent. Instead, it takes place on a continuous zoomable map in real time: ships are free to roam the galaxy, locate and claim planets for various types of bonus items, dodge rogue ships and astral phenomena, and battle the enemy player.</p>
<p>Each ship is given its own arsenal of offensive, defensive and tactical systems, plus an auto-pilot with several programmable behaviors; the starbase can repair (and rebuild) your fleet. Victory is achieved by eliminating all enemy starships. Optional features include playing in multiple galaxies and the choice of a time limit.</p>

<p>In the followup to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/77148/das-telekommando/">Das Telekommando</a>, the promotional adventure game made for Deutsche Telekom, you play as a telecom serviceman (or servicewoman) who must repair a video conference connection at the headquarters of a nature protection association. It soon turns out that there has been a sabotage, with everything from the air conditioning to the lifts and telephones being put out of action. You have only your mobile phone and your toolbox to help you out.</p>
<p>First you must repair the lift, then you can roam more freely, talking to the workers of the house, finding clues and performing repairs. The game is very non-technical, and has a very relaxed relation to its sponsor, with the main character sometimes talking like a proud state employee (this was in 1993), rather than a telephone salesman, directly to the player. Still, most puzzles and their solutions revolve around early-90s high tech such as modems, faxes, satellite equipment, mobile phones and videotex terminals.</p>
<p><em>Telekommando II</em> is a short point-and-click adventure that takes place entirely within the confines of one building. You have your typical inventory and list of verbs at the bottom. There are only 7 verbs at your disposal. One difference compared to the LucasArts adventures is that you can't walk your character around the screen. He or she will only walk when it's necessary for completing an action you've chosen.</p>

<p>The third addition to the <em>Spy's Adventures</em> series is another geographical edutainment title, featuring the same combination of international travel and mystery-solving as the previous two installments, and similar to the contemporaneous <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/47/carmen-sandiego-series/">Carmen Sandiego</a> games. All-around bad guy Dr. Xavier Tortion (Dr. X for short) is up to his jewel-thieving antics once again, this time in South America, and must be tracked down along with his contraband. The game can be played in single-player mode, or up to 6 players may play cooperatively ("spy network") or competitively ("spy vs. spy").</p>
<p>The chase starts in a country of the player's choice, with a map of the continent, some money, and dossiers with basic information on the various countries. The player can travel from one country to its neighbors on the map. Each country offers at least one site to visit, and investigating the various locations will uncover clues to the whereabouts of jewels - informants will also be found, who can be paid off with money or jewels to provide crucial clues to Dr. X's hiding place. The goal is to guess his location in no more than 3 attempts, or he escapes and the quest comes to an end. If he is caught, a score is awarded based on the time taken, jewels recovered, guesses left, and letters still not exposed (in the clue to Dr. X's location).</p>

<p><em>ShadowForce</em> is a shareware graphic adventure game. The story is set in the early 22nd century, when Earth Central Command, a world government body that succeeded the United Nations, establishes a special operations unit, the eponymous ShadowForce, to combat anarchy, chaos and corruption in the wake of a global crisis. This team of four "enhanced humanoids" becomes mankind's last hope when it faces new, unprecedented threats to its existence, such as a rampant AI or an alien invasion.</p>
<p>The player's goal is to guide the ShadowForce team through three missions: <em>Rise of the Overlord</em>, <em>GateKeeper</em> and <em>The Final Paradox</em>. Only the first mission is available in the shareware version of the game. The game is played from the first-person perspective, with static images of each scene the characters find themselves in. Each scene has a text description, and many other events in the game are also presented as text messages.</p>
<p>Movement and combat is turn-based, and interaction with the game world is accomplished through a mouse-controlled interface. The gameplay primarily consists of solving puzzles by manipulating items found throughout the game environment, and combat encounters. Occasionally it is also needed to talk to certain non-player characters by typing in keywords to elicit various responses from them. While there is no flow of real time, in some of the phases of the game the player is only able to take a limited number of turns before a certain event happens. Overall, <em>ShadowForce</em> places a greater emphasis on puzzle-solving, however combat also requires the players to cautiously think out their moves, as ammunition and health packs are rather limited.</p>

<p>The earliest public release of <a href="/search/?q=Powerslave">Powerslave</a> is a work-in-progress demonstration beta version which includes two levels, Abu Simbel and Dendur, with the former being vastly different from its namesake in the retail version. In addition, there are numerous differences in graphics, sound effects and engine behaviour, showing a pre-release state of the game. Unlike the final release, the beta demo supports MIDI music and contains a single unique track that loops during play.</p>
<p>This version of <em>Powerslave</em> showcases six weapons (plus one hidden weapon), five enemy types, and a selection of powerups. While the game uses the system of lives instead of the ability to save the progress at any time, there are no checkpoints throughout the levels. Instead, a level is restarted completely upon the player's defeat, with all enemies and pickups restored in their original places; however, the player keeps all weapons, ammo and items collected during previous playthroughs.</p>
<p>The demo levels can be played in any order, and are designed in such a way that the player may collect all necessary weapons and items in the second level without the need to complete the previous one first. This is different from the final version of <em>Powerslave</em> which does not have duplicate weapon pickups in later levels. There are also built-in cheats in the demo, described on the in-game help screen, that grant invincibility and access to all weapons and items.</p>
<p>Being an early build of the game, the <em>Powerslave</em> beta has no support for multiplayer mode.</p>

<p>Fly your chopper and complete various missions in this simple helicopter simulation game. You create your own pilot, and as you complete missions successfully, your pilot gets promotions, and the game goes on until either the pilot gets killed in action, or gets promoted all the way to General, thus retiring the pilot. To start a mission, you select your pilot and choose your difficulty. Each difficulty has its own group of missions, and the mission in your choice of difficulty is randomly selected each time. The objective in a mission can be destroying an enemy aircraft or building, delivering something to another friendly base, stopping a cruise missile, or just destroying all the buildings in the enemy territory. If you get killed in a mission, then your pilot is permanently dead, and your only option is to create a new pilot or use a different one. If you complete a mission without dying, however, you get points, and if you have enough points, you get promoted to a higher rank. Basically, you beat the game by completing missions without getting killed until you're finally promoted to General, which is when your pilot retires.</p>
<p>All the missions take place in one world, where there is one allied base on each end (you'll start at either of them), and enemy territory filled with buildings and aircraft in the middle. The gameplay is non-linear (aside from mission assignments), and allows you to go wherever you want and complete the mission in any way you choose. Even after you successfully complete your assignment in a mission, you can still fly around and do stuff like explore, or destroy other enemy buildings and warcraft, with the mission only ending when you land back at the base you started at (or the other base). Your helicopter is equipped with bombs, nukes and missiles. You can fire the bombs straight at objects, or drop them below you. Nukes are more powerful, and are more effective at destroying things. Missiles are also relatively powerful, and fly fast and straight. All your ammo is limited, however, and you can reload any time by landing at one of the allied bases.</p>

<p>A collection of educational mini-games for pre-school children, aimed at ages 2½-6 and designed to impart basic skills with letters, numbers and shapes. The exercises include counting, adding and subtracting colored blocks, matching on-screen letters and numbers with the keyboard, memorizing the alphabet, comparing shapes, and practicing basic color drawing.</p>

<p><em>Take Down</em> is a tag-team wrestling game in which one or two players assemble their two-man powerhouse from a line-up of 8 wrestlers: Mr. Cool, Sgt. Slam, Tomahawk, Iron Head, Viking, Sea Dawg, Sultan, Ninja. Each wrestler has a short audio intro when selected. Selecting two of them, players start the fight.</p>
<p>The gameplay is flown on a static ring without a referee. Both of the tag partners are starting the action on the same side of the ring. Every wrestler has a few standard moves, including a punch, tag out, jump from the turnbuckle and flying body press off the ropes. In addition, each has a set of four signature moves (action plus direction), ranging from a basic hip-toss to a devastating airplane spin. Once player gets the other guy in a bad way, he leaps on top to try to collect the pinfall. The winning squad is treated to a little victory dance in the ring, specially embossed belts, and a victory in the game's record books. The losers are similarly given a tally in the loss column, however this doesn't affect their abilities.</p>

<p>Home Edition of this educational U.S. geography simulation provides 19 scenarios which may be selected by the player. During each scenario the player drive an 18-wheel truck around the United States of America picking up and delivering a variety of commodities. Commands such as turn on the motor, fasten the belt, examine the map, set a direction, rest, eat, repair, get the hitchhiker, go to a gas station, etc., are performed with clicks on appropriate item or icon on the screen. However, commodity type or answers on occasional questions should be typed in. As players travel between the cities, they learn valuable skills such as problem solving, map reading, and decision making. They'll learn time management, decide when to eat and sleep, and watch road conditions based on the weather, season, and climate. Once all necessary commodities are collected and destination is reached, the scenario is treated as successfully completed.</p>
<p>The game is available for 1-2 players. It may be saved in progress to restore it later.</p>

<p><em>Shariki</em> (Russian for <em>the balls</em>) is one of the earliest titles based around the type of match-three game that was later popularized through <a href="/search/?q=Bejeweled">Bejeweled</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/61070/candy-crush-saga/">Candy Crush Saga</a>. The game shows a board that consists of eight rows and eight columns filled with circles of different colours. The player has to create matches by swapping a circle horizontally or vertically. When this creates three circles of the same colour in a straight line horizontally or vertically, the circles disappear from the board and new one fill the gaps from the top. The game is over when no more moves are possible. The game keeps track of the player's score.</p>

<p>In a move that makes the in-game options menu as formidable and labyrinthine as the trademark Moraffware selection of video modes, <em>Tempt-Tris</em> not only packs two different games in one, but also provides two separate variants of each sub-game, and then a selection of options and play modes for each sub-sub-game. Included are the following:
* <strong>Tempt-Tris</strong> - a variant of <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>, where you rotate and place falling blocks to fill up and eliminate horizontal rows. Features 9 different selectable field sizes, three difficulty levels, and both one-player and two-player modes. It's not all about the tetraminos, either - higher levels will throw increasingly outlandish block shapes at you. The two-player mode is simultaneous: two blocks drop at a time (one for each player to control), and stack up on the same pile.
+ <strong>Centris</strong> - As above, but here the blocks don't fall down: they emerge at the center of the field, and can be stacked on any side. Each piece must be placed within a time limit. Both rows and columns will be eliminated when completed, and the existing pile on that side will "drop" away from the center of the screen. <em>Centris</em> inherits <em>Tempt-Tris</em>'s choice of game options (as well as its penchant for loud, palette-cycling backgrounds).</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Blocxade</strong> - a trap-'em-up action game: each level has four rooms, littered with pushable square blocks (which provide the only tie-in with <em>Tempt-Tris</em>, however tenuous). Among them cavort killer robots, which must be trapped by surrounding and then squishing them with blocks. Collect strength powerups, and you'll be able to shove more blocks at a time. Non-robotic annoyances include bouncing balls that weaken and destroy blocks, and demons and fireballs that take away health and lives.</li>
<li><strong>Logicade</strong> - a variation on <em>Blocxade</em>, which doesn't actually involve any more (or less) logic. There's only a single room per level, and only robot enemies to contend with, though their numbers increase more rapidly as you progress. Otherwise, the rules are identical to <em>Blocxade</em>.</li>
</ul>

<p>A fixed-screen platformer featuring a snowball as the title character, trapped in a series of caves where the chief dangers are fire-based - an unfortunate twist for Joe, as might be guessed.  Each level must be finished by hopping, skipping and jumping your way to the very top of the screen, and grabbing as much loot as you can along the way.</p>
<p>Instead of lives or a health bar, your score doubles as your life meter: you win points by picking up collectibles, lose them by running into a fire or some lava, and if your score ever drops down to zero, it's all over.  Often there's no choice but to go right through those heat hazards, so survival means planning your route and keeping a healthy score balance.</p>

<p>Another installment in the continuing adventures of our snowball hero, wherein he attempts to retain his solid phase despite the best efforts of the environment with its fireballs and lava pools.  Essentially the same as the first game with a new set of graphics and levels: make your way through the stationary game world across traps and jumping puzzles, striving for the top to reach the next level.</p>
<p>Once again, run-ins with fire tiles deduct from your score, and running out of points means an instant game over.  As in the previous game, higher levels mix things up with more valuable booty, and with twists such as conveyor belts and the "question block" familiar to Italian plumbers everywhere.</p>

<p>It's unclear who the aliens are and what they want, because we only have the title to go by, but they've got Joe and it's time for another round of platform jumping and treasure collecting.  Things do change this time around, however, since the thoughtful aliens have seen fit to provide Joe with a few new perks not present in the previous games: music, scrolling, and save slots.</p>
<p>Thanks to the scrolling feature, the levels are larger and more abstract than before, and this time they're entered from an external "overworld"-type level (where the game can also be saved).  In contrast to the "score as health" system from the first two games, actual lives are used, so any contact with a fiery hazard will melt Joe down instantly... complete with a hissing sound effect.</p>

<p>Joe Snow takes his wife Jill on a trip to Phlegm World, hoping to kick back for a bit after his misadventures.  Alas, the place proves to be less of a vacation spot, and more of a place where snowball wives get inconsiderately kidnapped by evil wizards, so Joe sets off on the rescue - which, as one might expect, involves a lot of jumping, precise platform navigation and dodging of deadly traps.</p>
<p>The fourth game in the series changes things around yet again - like the previous game, we get large 4-way scrolling level maps, though without the "overworld" area, since now it is possible to save at any point within the level.  Other new touches include an illustrated introduction, animated objects (Joe included), a bigger-looking and more detailed set of graphics, and selectable game speed.</p>

<p>In this clone of <i>Centipede</i>, the player controls a spaceship, which can move freely in the bottom third of the screen, and shoots upward to destroy the oncoming snake. The snake is made up of many segments, and when a section is separated from the rest of the body, its foremost segment becomes a head, forming a new snake.</p>
<p>Scattered around the playfield are mushrooms and rocks, which can be destroyed by the player's shots. When the snake encounters one of these obstacles, it descends a row and reverses direction. Destroying a segment of the snake creates a mushroom, filling the playfield and causing the snake to descend more quickly. When the snake reaches the bottom of the screen, it gains armor, causing each segment to take two shots to kill, instead of one, and begins moving upward.</p>
<p>Destroying a segment of the snake causes a gauge on the screen to climb. Once the gauge is filled, the player may use a single energized shot, which destroys every snake segment within range of the player.</p>
<p>Also on the playfield is a spider, which descends toward the player, though it is slowed by obstacles. Killing the spider repeatedly will award the player an extra life, but the spider's speed increases each time it is killed. Its speed resets after the player is killed, or when a new level begins.</p>
<p>Bonus levels appear after every third round, during which the player is assaulted by just the spider and bees, which descend toward the player more quickly, and are not slowed by obstacles. Like the spider, the bees move more quickly as they are killed. After the tenth level, bees begin to appear on the regular levels, in addition to the spider.</p>

<li><em>Rayman by His Fans</em> (from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2762/rayman-forever/">Rayman Forever</a>)</li>
<li><em>Rayman 60 Levels</em> (from <a href="/search/?q=Rayman+Collector">Rayman Collector</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p>This is one of the few Rayman releases to include <em>Rayman 60 Levels</em> in English (the other being <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/34213/rayman-compilation/">Rayman Compilation</a>).</p>

<p>Another computerized version of the popular board game (also known as Othello), playable against the CPU or against another human player.</p>
<p>The game board has eight squares on a side, initially with two chips for each player at the center.  The players take turns placing chips, aiming to trap a sequence of the opponent's pieces between two chips of their own.  The opponent's pieces are then reversed to the capturing player's colors.  When no more legal moves remain, the side with the highest number of chips on the board wins.</p>

<p>Yet another text-mode variation on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>, where falling blocks have to be arranged and rotated to form solid rows, eliminate them and rack up score. All the familiar tetramino blocks are here, plus a smaller double square block. The speed increases every 10 lines completed, from level 0 to 9; if you feel like a challenge, you can crank up the speed yourself (though once you do, there's no way to decrease it).</p>
<p>As with many variants, you get to see the next piece (optionally), and some statistics showing the blocks used so far; you also get to track your high-score progress in real time, courtesy of a counter showing your current rank and the number of points remaining until the next one.</p>

<p><em>MegaTris</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> variant. The game offers two game modes (7 or 23 types of bricks), five difficulty levels (50-250 bricks), ten types of additional tricks and extra obstacles. The additional tricks, such as: pistol, bomb, rocket, water or rammer are earned for the successive removal of bricks levels from the board. Each new brick on the board brings the player closer to a level of one hundred percent. The value of the block depends on the level of difficulty (0,4 up to 2 percent per brick).</p>

<p><em>Set the Hostages Free</em> is a text based action game. The goal of the hero is to rescue the hostages. To do so the player must shoot to the bandits moving around the square area within just 15 shots. The game offers 3 difficulty levels.</p>

<p><em>Bog</em> is a single player, freeware, word game in which the player plays against the computer.</p>
<p>The game is played on a 5x5 grid which is populated with random letters. The objective is to make as many words as possible using letters that are adjacent to each other. At the end of the round the computer will query any words it does not know and, if the player verifies them, they are added to the player's score.</p>

<p><em>Bubble Jeopardy</em> is a one or two player game in which players must burst bubbles to score points.</p>
<p>Coloured bubbles bounce around the game area and the player(s) must burst all the red, blue and green bubbles to advance to the next area. This apparently simple task is complicated by a number of things.  </p>
<p>First, when hit the bubbles break into two smaller bubbles. When these are hit they break into two smaller bubbles, and so on, and so on until the player hits the smallest bubble which disappears.  </p>
<p>Then there are hazard bubbles which drop fire onto the player if they don't get out of they way, and the blue bubbles which split when hit but can never be killed. Oh, and any time the player makes contact with a bubble they lose a life.</p>
<p>The game has sound, a high score table, and can be played with either a keyboard or a joystick. In a two player game one player must use the keyboard and the other must use the joystick.</p>

<p><em>Cyber Marine</em> is a single player, 3rd person shareware shooter in which the player has five lives in which they must navigate a series of caverns, avoiding robots, gun turrets, traps, pits of toxic slime and so-on.
It is keyboard controlled and the action keys are fixed, they cannot be redefined.</p>

<p><em>I Can't Believe It's Not Bomberman</em> is <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/19696/dodgy-posse/">Dodgy Posse's</a> tribute to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Hudson%C2%A0Soft%C2%A0Company,%C2%A0Ltd.">Hudson Soft's</a> classic game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bomberman">Bomberman</a>.</p>
<p>The game is played via the keyboard and has two game modes, Adventure mode and Battle Mode, and three different sizes of game area.  </p>
<p>In Battle mode the player plays against a computer controlled bomberman, in Adventure mode the player is pitted against large numbers of fast moving baddies over a preset number of maps. In both types of game the objective is the same, clear the map of baddies in order to proceed.  </p>
<p>Some of the blocks that separate the player from the baddies will reveal power ups such as extra speed, remote bombs and a 'freeze all the bad guys' power up.</p>

<p><em>Terra Probe</em> is a single player, shareware, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/439/boulder-dash-variants/">Boulder Dash</a> type of game.</p>
<p>The player controls a probe which tunnels through the earth creating a tunnel wherever it goes. The object of the game is to collect all the diamonds to complete the level while avoiding falling rocks, mining droids that hunt the player down, and of course not getting trapped.  </p>
<p>In addition to the basic hazards the player will also encounter pressure crushers that will turn boulders into gems, explosives, lasers, and cave creatures. Once a level has been cleared a vortex appears which transports the player to the next level.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled.</p>

<p><em>Pako 2</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> variant and the follow-up to the original <a href="/search/?q=Pako">Pako</a>. Just like in the original concept the player's character has to eat all dots in a maze to get a score and move on to the next level. Enemies roam around the maze and need to be avoided. The dots come in different forms and colours for each level. There are also power pill that turn the tables and allow the character to eat enemies. Compared to the original game this title contains music and timed games where all dots need to be eaten before time runs out.</p>

<p><em>Strike</em> is a game that allows you to play 10 pin bowling against a friend or a computer player (skill level 1-4). The game follows the rules of bowling where you have to knock down 10 pins at the end of the lane with two shots unless you get a strike on the first throw. You play over 10 rounds and the winner is the player with the highest score. The game has an isometric view showing the player at the start of the lane. </p>
<p>To throw the ball you first have to position your bowler by moving his feet left or right. When you are happy with your position you press up and hold down the fire button. You release the fire button at the right time as you approach the line. Let go too soon and you drop the ball and hold on too long and you throw the ball in the air to land on your foot. If you release correctly you see the ball move up the lane and off screen. A box in the top left corner shows the pin positions and the ball hitting them. The bottom right has your scorecard. Once you have had your two shots then the computer or friend throws. A joystick or keyboard is used to control your bowler.</p>

<p><em>John Chenault's Snake!</em> is one of the first <a href="/search/?q=snake">Nibbles clones</a> for the IBM PC.</p>
<p>But this ASCII graphics Snake game has something more to offer.
Instead of 1 it has 3 gameplay modes: single player, two-player, and versus-computer.</p>
<p>In this game you control a snake who has to eat random popping up food to grow bigger while avoiding to run into your own growing body or running into a wall. 
The highscore is based on how long you manage to survive + how long your snake body has grown. 
At a certain length you will get bonus points plus special items will appear randomly which you need to pick up.</p>
<p>The special items are:
 -Chomps: allows you to cross through your body
 -Yen sign: shrink the snake but increases the snake's moving speed for a little while</p>
<p>In two-player mode (human versus human) you can get extra points plus it will shrink your snake ones you manage to let your opponent to run into your snake body.
You will win a round when your opponent run into his own snake body or when your opponent run into a wall.</p>
<p>In versus-computer mode you have to avoid 4 small snakes.
Your opponent dies when he bites you or another opponent or run into a wall.</p>

<p>In this educational trading simulator the player takes on the role of a maritime merchant in the Eastern Mediterranean, sailing from port to port and dealing in regional goods.  The objective is to conclude seven days of commerce with the highest possible profit.</p>
<p>Three different ports may be visited (in Israel, Turkey and Egypt), where three types of trade goods are bought and sold - copper, olives and grain; the prices differ in each location, and fluctuate daily.  But riding the volatile market will be the least of your problems: the high seas are rife with dangers - from storms to pirates - and random events may take a toll on your fortune, like navigational errors, burglaries or even dock worker strikes.  You may decide to play it safe, or to brave such risks as rough weather, nightly voyages, and sailing with an overloaded ship.</p>
<p>All these hazards may result in damage to your vessel, which can incur costly repairs. Pirate encounters are especially unpredictable, but the odds can be stacked in your favor if you hire some armed escort ships.  Other incidents are somewhat luckier, like the occasional bargain at a harbor or coming across a derelict vessel.  Your hard-earned cash can be put in the bank for safekeeping, or kept on hand for contingencies; whatever your profits, all stored goods must be sold at the end of the week, as the score is calculated based on your total earnings.</p>

<p><em>Koach Tzabar</em> is a promotional game distributed along with the Israeli Tzabar Salads. The gameplay is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/46702/xonix/">Xonix</a>. The player needs to reveal 9 lids of Tzabar Salads by "occupation areas", and be careful from the enemies. A life is lost when there is contact with an enemy. The player needs to "occupy" the percentage that appears on the right side in order to go to the next level. The game contains three levels of difficulty. In the easy difficulty the game does not have a time limit, unlike the advanced and professional difficulty levels. In the latter two if the player does not occupy the required percentage in time, a life is lost. The game also contains bonuses that help the player (move faster, the little enemies will explode, pause all the enemies for 5 seconds and more).</p>

<p>A Compute! Magazine type-in BASIC title featuring Nerm the Worm, who is trapped in Bemer Castle and would like nothing more than to escape (and consume a generous helping of "magic mushrooms" along the way). Yet another variation on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3173/snake-variants/">Snake</a> where the player controls a serpentine crawler in perpetual motion, which must be guided to consume food, dodge deadly walls, and avoid biting its own tail.</p>
<p>The castle is composed of eleven rooms, each trickier to navigate than the last. In a vaguely Carrollian manner, the rooms are prone to sprouting mushrooms which cause Nerm to grow as he eats them: after consuming five mushrooms, the exit doors will open, leading to the next room. Extra lives are awarded along the way, presumably another effect of the magical fungi. When the game is over, a verbal ranking is given based on the player's progress, ranging from "zero" to "hall of fame".</p>

<p><em>Math Assault I: Word Problems</em> is a one or two player, shareware, educational title for grade levels 2 - 7. </p>
<p>The story behind the game is that the country of Greecia is a place where people live in darkness. Their land has been controlled by a god called Apathy for thousands of years. Zeus planned the downfall of Apathy by teaching the people the wisdom of numbers, this made them strong and they were able to overthrow the evil god and his minions and imprison them.
Now, a century later, the people have forgotten Zeus' teachings. Apathy and his crew are out of prison and the only hope for the future is a legendary warrior who will master the world of numbers and destroy all evil in the world.</p>
<p>The game is played in two parts. In the Chamber of Numbers the player must answer a series of math questions which are expressed in words rather than in symbols, hence the name <em>Math Assault I: Word Problems</em>. So instead of being asked, say, 2+2=? The player is given a question like 'Apollo has 2 goats and Zeus gives him 2 more, how many goats does Apollo now have?'
By answering correctly and quickly the player gains health points, weapons points, and possibly some of Zeus' bonus points. When the player has answered enough questions correctly they advance in rank and are allowed into the combat part of the game.</p>
<p>The combat part of the game is a two dimensional, scrolling, platform game in which the player must defeat each one of Apathy's minions until, on the eighth level, they defeat Apathy himself on Mount Olympus.</p>
<p>There are three levels of difficulty, a choice of six warriors - three male and three female, optional sound, a save game option and re-definable action keys. The developers claim the game will take between thirty and eighty hours to complete.</p>

<p><em>Imperium Rex</em> is a freeware turn-based strategy game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5766/empire-wargame-of-the-century/">Empire</a>. The main objective is to build up an empire by conquering all opponents and neutral cities. Up to three players can participate in a hot seat or play-by-email game. Each player typically starts with just one city and a few units, and needs to explore the world, gather resources, expand, research new technologies, trade on the global market, build armies and support infrastructure to eventually defeat the opposing player(s). Single-player games are limited to the practice mode where the goal is to conquer all neutral cities, which are not defenceless but will not expand or attack the player on their own.</p>
<p>The background story in <em>Imperium Rex</em> puts the player into the role of a sociologist who decided that empire is the best form of government, and set on a quest to unify humanity under a benevolent imperial rule. Unfortunately, others have also come to similar conclusions, and wish to create rival empires of their own. Many of the units and technologies available to the player are clearly futuristic (hover scouts, laser tanks, photon cannons etc.), suggesting that the events of the game take place sometime in the future.</p>
<p><em>Imperium Rex</em> comes with several maps and a map editor, however there is no random map generator. Other options such as the number of cities and resources on the map can be adjusted by the player for each game session, and the position of these objects is randomized.</p>

<p><em>Math Assault II: Fractions</em> is a shareware, educational game that teaches fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, and percentages to grades 4 - 9. </p>
<p>The game follows on from Math Assault 1. The year is now 2135 and the player, a super hero, responds to a message from Dr. Ronan, an evil super genius who has developed a machine that will enable him to take over the world. While investigating the warehouse that is Ronan's lair our hero is zapped by a green laser and winds up back in ancient Greecia. 
Things are not well in the past either. Dark magic has forced Zeus from Olympus and he now lives in a cave with Iris his assistant. The only hope is a portal on the far side of Greecia built by the Mooglish but it's guarded by a dragon.</p>
<p>The gameplay that follows is similar to a side scrolling arcade game. The player explores the level killing baddies. When a baddie has been killed the player must answer a math question to earn health and weapon points. Along the way there are power ups to collect, these appear as potions in a window on the right of the play area. There are also gems to collect, these earn bonus points and they explain math terms such as <em>denominator</em> and <em>improper fraction</em> to the player, some of these terms feature in later questions posed by the game.
When enough points have been accumulated the player increases in rank and battles the end of level monster. There are eight levels the last of which is the fight with the green dragon that gives access to the portal which takes the hero home.</p>
<p>The game has optional sound, music and speech, a choice of character, play and a practice modes, save game function, two levels of difficulty and a high score table.</p>

<p>The object of <em>Disk Crash</em> is to guide the unlikely protagonist, a floppy disk (of the actually-floppy variety!), from the bottom of the screen to the top by traversing a series of floors. The flexible storage device can cross one floor at a time; when it arrives at the opposite end, it climbs up to the next one and must travel across in the opposite direction. Trouble is, the playfield is plagued by a gang of horseshoe magnets that bounce up and down at varying speeds. Each passage must be carefully timed and executed, as any collision with a magnet spells terminal data corruption for our plastic jacket clad hero.</p>

<p>Set during the US-Soviet cold war, <em>Global Thermonuclear War</em> pits two players against each other in a simulation of just what the title says. The first phase of the game is an arms race: both sides build up their arsenals by selecting weapons systems to develop, and then produce. Investment can be planned according to given estimates, though the actual costs may vary; each side's budget and industrial capabilities impose limits on the final military inventory.</p>
<p>To end the escalation stage, each side may choose to start the conflict on any turn. The open war phase takes place on a graphical world map, which provides an icon-based view of the opposing sides' units and bases. Each player in turn chooses a weapon to launch, and a target (military or civilian); the game simulates "fog of war" by allowing a certain random chance for things to go wrong, like miscommunication or weapon malfunctions. The turn is then passed to the opposing player, which receives a summary of enemy strikes and detected launches, and gets to retaliate with a move of their own.</p>

<p>A space shooter reminiscent of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/63345/computer-space/">Computer Space</a>: the player controls a starship and is free to move about a wrap-around playing field, using a physically realistic scheme of inertial thrust, while pursued by formations of enemy spacecraft.</p>
<p>Thrust can be applied in any direction using the cursor keys, but ships may only fire to the left or right - the player is equipped with a long-range projectile, while the enemies sport short-range laser beams. When an enemy ship is destroyed, a new one takes its place; formations may break up, regroup and strengthen in numbers as the game progresses. Raising the skill level cranks up the game speed and provides for increasingly hectic action.</p>

<p><em>A-J's Quest</em> is a side-scrolling platformer, based on an early '90s comic strip by the game's author. The game involves exploring several distinct levels, collecting items and equipment, and fighting eccentric monsters, in effort to foil the evil machinations of King Ostro. The character can also collect money, to buy equipment in a store at the end of each level. Different equipment lends the character, A-J Bear, different attacks of various effectiveness on different monsters. Through most of the game A-J Bear is also trailed by his pet hedgehog, Hedge, who can be of occasional aid against monsters.</p>
<p>Depending on the game version, the order, number, and layout of levels may vary. Early versions include secret bonus stages, to be found in each level. Later versions include a more elaborate presentation, extra levels, and significant bug fixes.</p>

<p>Another one in a long, long line of unofficial <a href="/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> clones, this particular take on the well-known formula stays true to the basic premise of wandering around a maze, consuming all the dots and avoiding deadly ghosts (referred to as "goblins" in the source code). As in the original game, a bonus item may occasionally appear, which boosts your score if eaten, and power pills in four corners of the maze give you the temporary ability to devour your pesky pursuers, for increasing point awards.</p>
<p>This version is somewhat simplified: there's only a single fruit item, the cherry (although its value does increase from level to level). There are three ghosts instead of four, all with the same "personality" (or lack thereof, since they mostly travel at random); their speed is constant throughout the game; and they don't blink before the power pill wears off, which can result in nasty surprises. To top it off, for being such an avid muncher, the player's character curiously has no mouth.</p>
<p>The BASIC source code is included alongside the compiled game.</p>

<p>An educational title which appropriately delves deeply into the subject of volcanoes: their formation and classification, the geological and physical aspects of volcanic activity, and its impact on people and the environment.  The information is delivered in the form of animated slideshows divided into chapters, each peppered with a series of thought/review questions to stimulate the learning process.  Two more interactive challenges test you on your knowledge - a true-or-false quiz which presents 10 questions on the subject matter, and a matching quiz where you must pair corresponding terms from two columns of data; both provide feedback and score based on your performance.</p>

<p>A lone inventor comes up with an elegant mini radio control and camera system. Desperate to beat his rival, he races his application to the patent office by folding it into a paper airplane, then augmenting that plane with his new control device. Over seven levels, the player braves dangers and rides wind currents -- through air vents, across fields, and between racing automobiles. As the game progresses the airplane exhibits new powers and abilities, including bombs, rocket boosters, and missiles. Several game elements are taken from the author's previous game, <em>Rocket</em> (to which <em>Paper Airplane</em> is the registration bonus), such that <em>Paper Airplane</em> can be seen as a spin-off of or semi-sequel to that game.</p>

<p>True to its title, <em>Aeromathics</em> splices the standard math game fare of solving arithmetical riddles with an aerial theme. The player is presented with a series of aviation-related images, which have to be erased (using a cursor) to reveal the mathematical problems hidden behind them. Once the correct answer is entered, a new image appears, and so on until the timer runs out - the quicker you uncover the questions and type in the solutions, the higher your final score. Bonuses can be racked up for unbroken sequences of right answers, and for revealing the secret star icons that lie hidden behind random spots in the picture.</p>
<p>On top of the four skill levels available, it is possible to tweak the selection of problem types and their difficulty: addition/subtraction and multiplication/division, both for whole numbers and for fractions, as well as sequence completion and calculations with powers; each class of problems is itself available in four difficulty levels.</p>

<p>In this side-scrolling shoot-'em-up the player assumes control of a speedy fighter ship, flying low over hostile territory. The region is teeming with assorted enemy craft that don't take too kindly to your presence - from stationary space mines and curiously-shaped homing devices to flying saucers with mounted guns - and your only defense against being blasted into oblivion is your trusty laser beam.</p>
<p>The ship may be freely accelerated to high warp or slowed down to a full stop; scoring is awarded for progressing through the sectors and destroying enemy craft. The latter is especially important when it comes to the saucers, since letting them escape actually takes away points(!). There are no lives as such: the game progresses until you run out of fuel, but getting shot or crashing into anything (including the ground) will detract from your score <em>and</em> eat up gas. Every fifty sectors, a fresh supply of fuel can be picked up to replenish your tanks.</p>

<p>The verdant archipelago of the Dragon Isles: home to a prosperous nation led by an emperor, enjoying a thriving, peaceful culture. Or so it did, until a vast hostile fleet invaded from across the ocean, devastated the lands and reduced the once-flourishing civilization to ruins. Only tattered bands of survivors managed to escape with their lives, and the conquering enemy held sway over the islands for decades. Until one day a leader rose, assembled the scattered remnants of his people, and set sail back to the Dragon Isles to try and retake their ancestral home.</p>
<p>You command this small group of warriors and settlers, freshly landed on the first island, and must build up your forces and launch the reconquest. As in most real-time strategy games, your efforts will be centered on gathering resources, creating units, repelling enemy attacks, and constructing buildings to strengthen your village base and enhance your military abilities. Once all enemy forces and installations are wiped out, the island is yours, and your brave company travels on to the next one to open a new campaign.</p>
<p>Unlike the common type of top-down RTS game, the player is not merely a disembodied, invisible commander: your character overlooks the action from the back of a flying dragon, and the screen scrolls along with your movements. There is no "fog of war", and the whole map is visible from the get-go, including the enemy-controlled areas, but there is a limiting factor: over hostile territory you may encounter the enemy general, who rides yet another flying dragon and can banish you back to your base after a short scuffle.</p>
<p>Resource gathering is carried out by the peasants, who till the land, harvest food and materials, and produce the necessary upkeep to maintain your army and your various installations. Extra profits can be earned by constructing windmills or exploiting the islands' natural resources (such as oil). To build up a capable reconquering army, it will be necessary to build barracks for training various types of units - from knights and archers to cavalry and war elephants. As the game progresses, you will be able to construct temples and monasteries to commission monks, castles that produce forces on a large scale, and even start a Secret Service to train spies, and - yes - ninjas(!).</p>
<p><em>Dragon Isles</em> can be played either in Hebrew or English.</p>

<p>Humanity's hunger for material resources has expanded beyond Earth's capacity to satisfy it, and you've been sent on a mining expedition to harvest ores in space.  Your ship is equipped with a finite supply of fuel, a robot arm to collect materials, and twin missiles to fend off the hordes of slavering aliens which inconveniently occupy the area (and devour everything in their path, mining ships included). Floating lumps of fuel or missile modules can be collected to replenish your supplies.</p>
<p>Your goal is to complete three mining runs with as much profit as you can - the mothership will be waiting to pick you up at the end of each run; if a ship is destroyed before being picked up, all of its hard-earned bounty will be lost.</p>

<p>You command the Imperial Fleet of the One True Civilization - the descendant of a legendary Empire which once united mankind in a galactic Golden Age, but perished in a horrifying civil war. As interstellar travel ceased, the struggling, isolated remnants descended into a Dark Age, and the knowledge of old was gradually lost. However, on your planet conditions were favorable, and untold generations later, a new culture has dawned. Artifacts from the ancient Empire were unearthed and studied, forgotten arts relearned, and space travel reinvented.</p>
<p>But as the first test flights began to explore near space, a terrible truth was unveiled: there are Others out there. Your planet was not the only one to rediscover lost technologies and embark on a new space age; multiple competing empires are on the rise, with each laying claim to the same Imperial legacy. A new galactic conflict is brewing, and only one outcome can prove the legitimacy of your claim - complete and total victory.</p>
<p><em>Imperial Space Command</em> is a turn-based game of interstellar war for up to 8 players (any of which may be human or computer-controlled). Multiple human players can play without communicating between them at all; they make their moves using separate player diskettes, and a Game Master processes the disks after each turn, as well as the "robot" (AI) players' moves. Non-player (renegade) forces also exist. The complex rules involve many variables, adjustable from the Game Generator at the start of each game.</p>
<p>One long-lost but crucial technology cannot be duplicated by any side: the mighty engines that powered the Imperial starships of old. These indestructible marvels of engineering have survived intact throughout the ages, but their inner workings remain impenetrable, and new ones cannot be constructed. Ships of different sizes and capacities may be built, but only a limited supply of existing engines can be used to drive them.</p>
<p>The path to victory will entail exploration and colonization of planets, setting up governmental units to cement the allegiance of your colonies, and production centers to gather wealth; tax collection and a repository/treasury system to manage that wealth; constructing, equipping and managing ships and fleets; and engaging in ship-to-ship combat, planetary bombardment and invasion to overcome rival empires and renegade forces. If that wasn't enough, your colonies run the risk of plagues, revolutions and states of anarchy.</p>

<p><em>Mind Castle I</em> is an educational title that teaches logic and reasoning. You begin by entering the basement of a mysterious, seemingly abandoned castle. There you are greeted by Mr. Winn, who says that a treasure awaits you at the top of a tower, but you must first solve puzzles and riddles to move up the floors of the castle. The puzzles themselves are generally of the type that require recognizing patterns. They can also be logic puzzles where you deduce who is lying based on statements made. They may also be a simple play on words. Mr. Winn can offer hints, but it is up to you to solve the puzzles of each floor to make it to the top of the tower.</p>

<p>A simple "character graphics arcade game" which puts the player in charge of an ASCII smiley face. The objective: erase the solid blocks and avoid getting splattered by falling meteors. Points are scored by consuming the 3 rectangular target blocks, or the trails left by the meteors as they streak across the screen; for each block hit by a meteor, you lose a point instead. The difficulty level determines the location of the blocks: the higher it is, the closer they are to the top of the screen where the meteors are spawned.</p>
<p><em>Meteor!</em> was created as an experiment by the author to test the capabilities of his university's then-new IBM PCs, which came without the optional color graphics or joysticks, and see if an arcade-like game could be written in BASIC despite those shortcomings. This version was later republished in Creative Computing Magazine. The PC/Blue series of shareware/freeware compilation disks included a modified version of the game; here, the difficulty level increases as you progress, and every 1000 points the blocks are automatically redrawn higher up the screen.</p>

<p><em>Rachunkowe Abecadło</em> is a match educational program for children. The game teaches to add, subtract, divide and multiply at three levels of difficulty.
The game features also two built-in mini-games: slot machine and match puzzles. The first mini-game is just a relaxation, the second one requires match skills to discover the hidden picture.</p>

<p><em>Thaurus</em> is an adaptation of the Peg Solitaire board game. The game consists of two similar timed modes: Samotnik and Thaurus.</p>
<p>In Samotnik mode the action takes place on a standard board of 45 figures. All figures are the same and cover all fields except the middle one. The main task is to remove as many figures as possible, leaving only one at best. The pawns are removed by translating them in horizontal or vertical direction. The game ends when there is no possibility of movement. The result depends on the number of pawns remaining on the board.</p>
<p>Thaurus mode uses same rules but is much harder, as it introduces a special field (or fields) where the last remaining pawn (or pawns) should stay at the end. Before each new board player receives a level password.</p>

<p>You have been asked by a dying alien race from across the Universe to search for various amount of treasures scattered around, and return them to save them. In this graphic text adventure you see text describing each location and you can see a picture showing you what each location looks like. You type in commands with the keyboard to interact with the locations and control your hero.</p>

<p>Certain versions of the Microsoft Mouse driver for DOS came bundled with a game called <em>Boa</em> (included alongside such utilities as Paintbrush and Mouse Menus). <em>Boa</em> takes the familiar premise of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3173/snake-variants/">Snake</a> games and turns it on its tail: the player is now the food, trying its best not to be consumed by an always-moving, ever-growing snake.</p>
<p>Our hero - a mouse - is controlled, as one might expect, with the mouse. The only objective is to survive as long as possible without being captured by the computer-controlled <em>boa constrictor</em>, which twists across the playfield in pursuit of its prey - touching the snake's body, or the walls, means death. The boa will get hungrier with time, and speed up as it tries to add you to its menu; fortunately enough, it is possible to temporarily freeze time to escape a tight spot. For every 500 points, the slavering serpent can be magically cut down to size and forced to start over.</p>

<p>Like <em><a href="/search/?q=Phoenix">Phoenix</a></em> or <em><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9448/demon-attack/">Demon Attack</a></em> set in a bat-cave, <em>Bit-Bat</em> is a fixed-screen shooter where the player controls a gun that moves along the bottom of the screen. The bats that flitter above pelt the player with lethal projectiles, and must be shot down for points: the lower they are when they're downed, the bigger the score bonus.</p>
<p>The grotto's other inhabitants also join in on the action: spider-like enemies that enjoy dropping from the ceiling at warp speed, and curious round blobs which zoom from left to right and slowly descend towards the floor. The difficulty ramps up as time goes on, gradually increasing the number of simultaneous baddies (and their shots' homing capabilities). An extra gun is awarded every 50,000 points.</p>

<p>In this real-time puzzle game, the goal is to guide a ricocheting ball throughout the playing field and into the exit hole.  The player controls a cannon, which can be moved along the perimeter walls, and shoots it to manipulate the ball and other objects on the screen.  When the ball bumps into an obstacle it bounces back in the direction it came from, and absorbing a cannon hit will cause it to match the shot's direction.</p>
<p>To complicate this simple premise, each level is littered with objects which have to be moved, rearranged, utilized or avoided to create a safe path to the exit.  Certain walls will simply block the ball; others will block the player's shots as well.  Breakable blocks will give way after a few collisions, and colored squares can be moved and combined with others of the same color.  Other tiles will hold the ball in place, cause it to change direction, teleport it away to a different location, or destroy it altogether.</p>
<p>Some levels are timed (beat the clock or lose the ball), others are not.  Every other level a password is provided, which can be entered later to continue from the same point.</p>

<p>The Freaks are invading! These colorful blob-like aliens may look harmless enough, but like Tribbles with eyeballs, they're popping up everywhere - and multiplying fast. After much deliberation, the soon-to-be conquered people of Earth devise a cunning method to quell the alien surge: challenge the freakish little globs to a game of elimination... with the Freaks as pieces.</p>
<p><em>Freak Out</em> is a fast-paced strategy game where each level takes the player to a different location, to contain the attack of the fuzzy intruders. The playing field consists of interconnected cells, arranged in concentric squares. The Freaks (which come in four different colors) pop out of a hatch at the center, and can be moved about by rotating and smacking them, which sends them jumping to the next cell (if it isn't occupied). To score points and eliminate Freaks, three of the same color must be placed in adjacent cells, making them vanish in a puff of smoke.</p>
<p>Speed is essential, since the quickly-reproducing aliens line up behind the hatch: if you let the queue get too long, it's game over. Random items and obstacles pop up occasionally, like bonus gems, freezing ice, stone walls, or colored circles (which can only be occupied by a Freak of the same hue). As the game advances, new challenges and mini-puzzles appear, which force the player to respond before more Freaks can be eliminated. A password records the player's progress after every level.</p>

<p>A simple game of tank combat in ASCII graphics, requiring two human players.  The combatants start off at opposite corners of the walled arena, and can move and fire in four directions, each using a different side of the keyboard.  Ammo is unlimited, and the first player to score five hits on the opponent wins the game.</p>

<p>A strategy game played on a 3x3 board; each tile has two sides, one black and one white, and the game begins with the board in a random state. A tile can be flipped by entering its number on the keyboard, but only if it is currently white. Flipping the central one will also flip the four tiles connected to it; a corner piece will flip the 3 surrounding ones along with it, and the tiles in the middle of each edge cause the entire edge to flip.</p>
<p>The game keeps track of elapsed time and the number of moves made. To win, the player must flip the tiles until the central one is black, and all the others are white. If all tiles are flipped to the black position, the game is lost.</p>
<p>Flipper was included as part of the <a href="/search/?q=Mind+Boggle">Mind Boggle</a> compilation from <a href="/search/?q=Keypunch+Software">Keypunch Software</a>.</p>

<p><em>Conquest of Elysium II</em> is a turn-based strategy game set in a fantasy world. You control any one of 20 possible factions, each with its own unique units, spells, abilities and even resources. Your goal is to control resource producing locations, amass an army while still protecting your citadel and your commanders, and conquer all of your opponents. The game features include equipable items, peasant happiness (which determines how likely is your resource gathering to start a peasant rebellion and mine strikes), season change (which affect your resource gathering) and many special events (from the arrival of unexpected heroes in your villages to the coming of the Apocalypse).</p>
<p>The game can be played in hotseat multiplayer, or in single player against up to eight computer controlled opponents across randomly generated maps. The difficulty of your opponents and the type of random map (which resources are abound, how high is bandit activity) you play can all be customized. The game also includes three custom-made unique scenarios.</p>

<p><em>World Quest</em> is a shareware horizontal scrolling shoot 'em up. The objective of the game is to destroy defence bases set up by an unspecified alien race throughout the levels, and rescue captive humans. While most of the opposition the player faces comes in the form of stationary defences that fire various projectiles, rather than incoming enemy craft, there are also end-level bosses.</p>
<p>The player's craft can freely move forward, up and down, and also backwards: although the screen scrolls forward automatically, it allows to backtrack to a certain extent. The craft is outfitted with missiles and bombs, and random powerups that can be acquired from destroyed alien installations may provide the ability to fire additional missiles backwards, upwards or at a 45 degree angle above or below the player's ship.</p>
<p>The initial release of <em>World Quest</em> included 10 worlds (levels), with only the first four available in the unregistered shareware version. The total number of worlds was increased to 15 in v2.0. Additionally, the registered game offers the option to access every level and activate the unlimited lives cheat by using the secret password.</p>

<p><em>Little Fighter</em> is a simple 2D brawling fighting game and the first game in the <em>Little Fighter</em> series. The player chooses one from eleven different characters (each with three special moves) and fights against rivals in small arenas. Characters have two bars: the red bar is HP and the blue bar holds magic points used to execute special moves. Arenas have some weapons and items like boxes or rocks. The game supports multiplayer up to 3 players.</p>

<p>Blinky the purple dinosaur returns to action, as the evil Shnookwad -- thwarted but not defeated by their previous encounter -- unleashes an army of monsters upon Funky Forest. With his Box of Everlasting Doughnuts to hand and his faithful cat (named, er, Doughnut) behind him, Blinky explores sixteen colorful levels and fights four complex bosses to restore peace to his sylvan domain -- at least, for a little while.</p>
<p>In <em>Blinky 2</em>, Jeremy LaMar heavily draws on 3/4 perspective top-down material like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6608/the-legend-of-zelda-a-link-to-the-past/">The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past</a> to map out a broadly linear action-adventure game, with simulated height and depth to augment the 2D environment. Each level is large and complex, often involving a journey from one location through another, winding transitional space, into a third location -- which in turn often serves as a transition to the next map. The player will journey through forests, swamps, waterfalls, dungeons, and even snake mazes -- each with its own environmental dangers and challenges, from poisonous spores to conveyor belts to huge, multi-segmented serpents.</p>

<p>A little boy named Mick, on vacation in a beautiful, pastoral village, is playing ball with local girl Masha.  As they venture into a meadow on the edge of a mysterious forest, Masha decides to pluck a pretty flower.  Little do the kids suspect that the forest is home to a heartless witch, who broods alone in her gloomy castle and tolerates no trespassers.  To their considerable dismay, the witch promptly transforms Masha into a tree, and Mick into a ladybug. Mick finds himself imprisoned in the depths of the castle, and it's up to him to escape, defeat the vicious hag and rescue Masha.</p>
<p>First, Mick will need to regain his human form, which allows him to jump and climb ladders. The witch has other prisoners in her castle: captured animals, which she had turned into twisted freaks with her arcane spells. These spells are locked inside bottles of magic potions scattered throughout the castle, which Mick can use to try and undo the witch's foul experiments.</p>
<p>Each potion, when used on a captured animal, alters the shape of a different body part. If the beast is restored to its natural form, it will reward Mick with a gem - which gives him the power to morph into that animal. The abilities of these animal forms will help Mick explore new areas along his journey: the squirrel can leap across wide gaps, the mouse can squeeze into tight passages, the tiger scares away despicable monsters, and so on; however, only the human form can climb ladders.</p>

<p>The aliens are here, and they're hellbent on razing city after city to the ground, by indiscriminately dropping bombs from orbit on everything that stands.  The only defense against the extraterrestrials' obvious dislike of Earthling architecture is the Interceptor: a flying vessel armed with rockets, which launch upwards to take down the trigger-happy UFOs; and side guns, which fire shells to dispatch the descending bombs.</p>
<p>The Interceptor proceeds from city to city to repel the waves of alien attacks.  It takes damage from direct hits, and has a finite supply of ammo, but can be repaired and resupplied by setting down on a landing pad.  To clear a level, all enemy ships must be taken down; besides conventional bombs, the aliens pack two more dangerous types: nukes (red) which can instantly level a city, and fusion bombs (blue) that destroy anything in the air if they detonate - including the Interceptor.</p>
<p>Points are awarded for destroying alien ships, but every fired shot and every object destroyed by the aliens will detract from the final score.  The more buildings (and trees) left standing, the better.</p>

<p>Deep in the Xon system lies a source of absolute power, protected by dangerous creatures known as the Octaxon. Weighing the risks, an adventurer named Parsec dons a jetpack suit fitted with a two-level bolt emitter and heads out in search of his prize. </p>
<p><em>Parsec Man 3D</em> is a minimalist action platformer shooter, with a stripped-down design and visual style similar to those of much later indie games like Fred Wood's <em>Love</em> and Daniel Remar's <em>Hero Core</em>. Owing partially to the game's support of red/cyan anaglyphic 3D glasses, its presentation largely consists of simple, distinct shapes in just a few colors: black, white, a medium gray, red, cyan, and various shades of purple. </p>
<p>Parsec, the titular hero, is controlled mostly with the numerical keypad, with his main shot mapped to the spacebar and his extra-powerful plasma bolt tied to the "A" key. In levels with gravity, the "7/Home" and "9/PgUp" keys are mapped to lateral jumps. The character has a limited supply of plasma bolts, and must collect more from [P] icons in the environment. </p>
<p>The game's overall structure is semi-linear, with a planet select screen at the start and end of each level. The level orientations and compositions vary, from side-scrolling platform action to free-floating shooter segments; from a linear, objective-based design to an open-ended, exploration-heavy structure. Each level is also distinguished by a distinct visual scheme and set of challenges, including collapsing bridges and 3D mazes.</p>
<p>Often the design makes constructive use of the game's 3D effect, to offer occasional puzzles which pop into relief when played with the correct glasses, yet for the unequipped player can also be traversed with a bit of trial-and-error.</p>

<p><em>Black Zone</em> takes place in an eerie, derelict city - once it was a thriving town, but all went awry one day when a mysterious alien ship descended from above. The people vanished; strange machines began roaming the streets, working for some unknown alien purpose, and a grotesque red structure appeared in the skyline. Then the invaders vanished as quickly as they came, leaving a ghost town behind them. Expeditions were sent to investigate, but none returned. In time, the decaying, crumbling city was cordoned off, and no one dared come close.</p>
<p>This is where you step in - to infiltrate the Black Zone, and try to unlock the alien secret of the people's disappearance. Similar in style to the developer's earlier game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/65086/mick/">Mick</a>, this is a non-scrolling platformer with an adventure angle and certain peculiar twists. To progress, you will have to program the surrounding machinery by accessing control panels and entering commands: this lets you modify the behavior of moving platforms, barriers, and other key elements along your journey.</p>
<p>As you carry on among the broken-down buildings, you will encounter peculiar creatures, physical anomalies, machines that manipulate gravity around them, and spatial warps that defy human orientation - all reflecting the uncanny alien influence at work.</p>

<p>The player takes on the role of a secret agent, code-named Barracuda, on a mission to recover from the ocean floor the segments of a top-secret nuclear weapon. On the horizon looms an Iraqi salvage fleet, eager to secure the weapon before it falls into American hands.</p>
<p><em>Barracuda</em> is a hodgepodge of different game styles, perhaps best classed as an action-exploration sim. The player's mission begins on a map screen swarming with waterspouts. With incredible slowness the player moves a blip across the map in search of a sunken Iraqi ship. When the blip reaches its destination, the game switches to a side perspective as the player dives to the bottom of the Persian Gulf in a submarine, dodging or torpedoing sealife, all the while looking for the hulk of a transport ship. </p>
<p>Once aboard the ship, the view changes again to a close-up exploration mode. Each ship is an enormous maze, often consisting of multiple maps, usually devoid of clear landmarks. The character (presumably the titular Barracuda) is an essentially helpless diver, avoiding environmental and zoological dangers -- tangled wire, sharks, jellyfish, deadly ping pong balls -- while searching for treasure. Die, and go back to the beginning of the maze. Find your treasure, and then slowly work your way back to the ship's entrance. It's realistic!</p>

<p><em>Gandalf</em> is a side-scrolling labyrinth action game. The protagonist of the game is a gnome named Gandalf. The sorcerer called Bilbo kidnapped his fiancee and placed her at the very end of the great maze. 
The player has to go through a maze to find his chosen one. He is fitted with four weapons: bumerang, bow, bombs and grenades. The player can find additional missiles, power ups increasing firepower of weapons, keys to the locked door, and encounter numerous hostile enemies, collapsing traps, throwing rocks catapults, killing fields and walls blocking the passage.</p>

<p>In <em>3 Card High Low Poker</em>, the dealer chooses, on each round, whether the winning hand must be high or low, and each of eight players is dealt three cards. If the dealer chose high, the best hand wins (and the ace is counted high). If the dealer chose low, then the worst hand wins (and the ace is counted low). Each player, in turn, can choose to be either 'in' or 'out' for the round, after the cards are dealt.</p>
<p>The only bet is a 25 cent ante, and the losers pay the entire pot. So, if at least one player (other than the dealer) is 'in' for a round, then each of the losers pays 2 dollars to the winner, and the players who were 'out' pay nothing.. If no one but the dealer is 'in' for the round, every player pays the dealer 25 cents.</p>
<p>The goal of the game, as with any gambling game, is simply to win money. The game does not end until the player chooses to stop.</p>

<p>In <em>Archery</em>, the player is challenged to get an arrow as near the bullseye of a moving target, which descends from the top of the screen, as possible. The player gets three tries from each of five different starting positions. More points are awarded for shots that land nearer the center, and the highest total score at the end of the game wins.</p>
<p><em>Archery</em> may be played alone, against the computer, or against a second player.</p>

<p>A pair of games, <em>Beano</em> and <em>Rockets</em>, played against the machine or a second human player. The common concept is how moves are made: each side rolls the dice, and puts together a mathematical expression from the rolled numbers. The four basic arithmetic operators (plus parentheses) are allowed, and the result determines the move.</p>
<p><em>Beano</em> is a variation on bingo: each side gets a 5x5 card composed of randomly arranged numbers. If a move can be made that matches a number on the card, a bean is placed on that number. The first player to fill a row, column, or diagonal with beans wins the game (cells marked "free" always count as filled).</p>
<p><em>Rockets</em> arms both players with ships, randomly placed on a 15x15 board. The moving player must specify a valid number of spaces to go (as above), and a direction. When the ship is done moving, it fires four rockets - straight up, down, left and right - destroying the rival ship if it hits. The winner is the first player to take down 5 of the opponent's ships.</p>

<p>This futuristic shooter combines two distinct styles of gameplay into a multi-level romp through space. The colony planets of New Chicago have been overrun by gangs of Rrampon invaders, and a state-of-the-art space cruiser has been sent in to purge the infestation. It's up to the Star Breaker, and its android pilot, to destroy the enemy's airborne forces and dispatch the interlopers underground.</p>
<p>The main section of each level takes place above the surface of one of the lifeless planets, and plays like a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6331/defender-variants/">Defender</a>-style shoot-'em-up. The Star Breaker can fly in four directions as it tracks down the Rrampon forces on its radar display - from mines and suicide droids to the dreaded Harvester command ships. The docking bays on the surface provide access to the underground bases. Here, control is transferred to the Light Trooper android, which heads down to the tunnels to hunt down the overlords and their Space Clams. The android can either fly through the rooms using its thrusters, or walk on the ground; computer terminals provide status reports, and can resupply the player with ammo, shields, thruster power and bombs.</p>
<p>When the base is cleared, a self-destruct code can be activated, giving the player a few seconds to evacuate. The level is completed when every base has been destroyed, and all the command vessels have been shot down from the skies.</p>

<p>More or less an industrial <a href="/search/?q=Hamurabi">Hammurabi</a> set in space, <em>Lost Colony</em> is a resource management game which takes place on another planet, site of the first human settlement off Earth. As the economic administrator of the colony, your job is to keep the population happy and occupied, and to generally run things smoothly until the next supply ship arrives from Earth - in 15 years.</p>
<p>Each turn tasks you with allocating resources for the upcoming year, by dividing them among the five major industries (farming, mining, energy, manufacturing and transportation). These resources include human labor, robotic machinery and the planet's raw materials; production quotas can be diverted towards various goals, consumer goods handed out to keep the populace contented (and obedient), and new areas can be explored and settled.</p>
<p>Along the way, you'll have to deal with such misfortunes as labor strikes, famine, industrial accidents, plagues and natural disasters. Savvy governance will ensure that the struggling colony prospers, while continued mismanagement will have you booted out of office in disgrace.</p>

<p>In this game, you play Strip poker against Maria Whittaker, an UK model of the 1980s. As the name suggests, she is first wearing a Santa Claus suit and does not get completely naked like in previous games of this type.</p>
<p>The gameplay is very similar to Ancos older game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/26300/strip-poker-ii-plus/">Strip Poker II+</a>. In the game itself you can raise bets and can trade each cloth part for 100 credits if you are running out of cash and your hand is too good to not raise. There are two different difficulty levels, "Easy" and "Hard". The AI does sometimes bluffing with aggressive bets.</p>

<p><em>Mono Space</em> is a scrolling shoot-'em-up that fuses the play style of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4512/gradius/">Gradius</a> with the wire-frame aesthetics of <a href="/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a>, sending the player across the voids of space and through hordes of death dealing aliens, all presented in stark black-and-white. The action proceeds from left to the right, as in most horizontal shooters (with some degree of vertical scrolling possible); the player's ship is equipped with a forward-firing blaster and a special missile weapon.</p>
<p>The entire game consists of a single level, broken down into stages by a series of checkpoints. Out of the various types of enemy craft, bizarre geometrical shapes and (yes) asteroids that patrol the star lanes, some will drop power-ups when destroyed: one kind adds to the player's missile stock, and the other increases the ship's power. Raising the power gauge beefs up the ship, multiplies its standard guns and adds to its armor.</p>
<p>Written in QBasic, <em>Mono Space</em> uses a handful of strategically-placed assembly language routines to improve performance and overcome some of the interpreted language's limitations.</p>

<p><em>Windoze</em> is a variation on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Columns">Columns</a> which pokes fun at <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/13596/microsoft-corporation/">Microsoft's</a> popular operating system, as evidenced by its use of the fashionable Usenet epithet for that OS at the time. The familiar colored blocks are replaced with various icons from Windows 3.x, which descend from above in groups of three and pile down at the bottom.</p>
<p>The triplets can be moved, flipped and rotated as they fall, and points are scored by forming rows, columns or diagonals of 3 or more identical icons, thus removing them from the pile. The action speeds up as it goes on, and every 1000 points a special "wildcard" block appears: touch it down on an icon, and its matching brethren will all be wiped out in one fell swoop.</p>
<p>The source code, written in XPL0 (a Pascal variant) and assembly, is included. Despite its looks, <em>Windoze</em> is a DOS game - as the author states, "it does not require Microsoft's version of Windows, since it has more than a sufficient quantity of icons on its own."</p>

<p>The celebrated arcade sensation <a href="/search/?q=space+invaders">Space Invaders</a> gets yet another clone - but instead of marauding aliens, <em>Tick Attack</em> deals with mere earthly bugs. Waves of well-regimented insects are on the attack, and the only defense is a lonely, laterally-moving tank, which must dispatch the flying formations before they hit the ground.</p>
<p>Naturally, the vermin shoot back. A series of shields provides a limited form of cover, though they can be damaged by fire from both directions (and if the enemies manage to swoop down low enough, they'll gnaw their way right through this scant protection). Most perilous are the ticks, armed with indestructible missiles that pack a bigger punch. For bonus points, you may hit the occasional rat that scampers across the top of the screen - just make sure to aim for the body, since the tail is (somehow) bulletproof.</p>
<p>The starting wave and skill level are selectable: higher combinations will make the enemies more trigger-happy, start them off at a lower altitude, and shave precious pixels off the shields... or even join them into a single, solid barrier.</p>

<p>This is a budget re-release of Microprose's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4540/fleet-defender/">Fleet Defender</a> with the expansion <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/57777/fleet-defender-scenario/">Fleet Defender: Scenario</a>. Unlike the <a href="/search/?q=F-14+Fleet+Defender+Gold">F-14 Fleet Defender Gold</a> release, there are no multimedia presentations included. The CD includes a Win95 installer and a digital manual, but is otherwise the same as the DOS versions.</p>

<p>Cutesy critters EG (pronounced Eegee) and his friends Blip and the Its are your hosts in this game which, true to its title, imparts knowledge of the English grammar, with chapters covering the different parts of speech - from nouns and pronouns to conjunctions and interjections, and everything in between.  Short summaries of the subject matter are presented, followed by free-response or multiple choice questions: correct answers are rewarded with EG's excited hopping, whereas mistakes will just have him slowly shaking his head (and explaining your error).</p>
<p>Once a chapter is completed, a summary page shows you how well you've done. Two review lessons can be taken to wrap things up - these offer a mixed bag of questions covering several topics.</p>

<p><em>Matrix Madness</em> exercises and evaluates the player's pattern recognition skills by posing a series of 3x3 grid puzzles, filled with abstract graphical shapes except for a single empty space. The player must grasp the logic behind the arrangement and select the right shape to fill in the blank; scoring depends on reaction time and on the number of guesses taken.</p>
<p>The puzzles come in three difficulty levels, which determine the complexity of the patterns (and the number of optional answers available). After ten questions a final score is given, which can be compared with that of a hypothetical "good player" to assess the player's mental prowess.</p>

<p>Up to four players may take part in this educational game, which tests one's factual knowledge of the fifty states comprising the USA.  Two basic forms of quiz are included - one is State Comparison, where two random states are selected in each turn, and the player is asked to compare different aspects of the two (area, population, population density, largest metropolitan area, highest elevation).  The other is States Facts, which highlights one state at a time and poses factual questions about it (its name, two-letter code, capital, largest city, and the year it was admitted into the Union).</p>
<p>3 difficulty levels are available for the comparison game, and the facts game can be set to order the states alphabetically or randomly.  The question timer is adjustable (1 minutes, 3 minutes or unlimited), and if you find yourself hard-pressed for answers, the computer can be asked for a hint.</p>

<p>A fairly standard word-search puzzle game: find and mark the words concealed inside a grid full of scrambled letters.  The game doesn't come with a predefined list of words, but the player is free to create one, after which the computer constructs the puzzle - placing each word horizontally, vertically or diagonally, in normal or reverse order. Parameters such as grid size can be redefined.</p>
<p>You have the option to reveal the hidden words when the going gets tough; if you're hell-bent for hard-copies, the puzzle (and its solution) can be printed too.</p>

<p>When IBM first conceived the PC, they had the foresight to design the four playing-card suites right into its built-in font. Of course, the implicit promise had to be fulfilled soon, and a set of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7928/casino-games/">casino games</a> promptly followed; with <em>Blackjack</em>, IBM once again puts its money where its mouth is, and brings you another adaptation of the gambler's favorite.</p>
<p>The basic idea is familiar: try to beat the dealer's hand - if no-one busts (goes over a total of 21), the hand closest to 21 wins; a blackjack (an ace plus a 10-value card) wins against any other hand. Up to seven players may participate (and join in or leave at any time), with the computer dealing. This version offers many variants, from Las Vegas Strip, Vegas Downtown, and Lake Tahoe/Reno to Atlantic City (a 6-deck game with optional early surrender) - and if those weren't enough, most of the rules and options can be tweaked individually.</p>
<p>To avert the PR disaster that was clearly impending, and to dissuade the public from continuing to associate the Personal Computer with vice and moral decay, a disclaimer is shown: <em>"no inducement to gamble is intended or implied."</em></p>

<p>Another computerized version of the solo card game Klondike Solitaire (Patience). A shuffled deck of cards is arranged in 7 downturned stacks of increasing height - the tableau - and any upturned cards may be rearranged to form piles of alternating color and descending value. Aces are shifted to the 4 Foundation cells (one per suite), which are then built up in increasing value, and the game is won by filling all Foundations from ace to king.</p>
<p>Settings allow you to flip through the deck 1, 2 or 3 cards at a time, permitting single or multiple passes. You can always bend the rules a little: the game lets you cheat in four(!) different ways, and when the situation is hopeless, it'll even extend the offer without being asked! You can get away with it too - there is no "self-respect" meter, but should you win, you'll be reminded of your foul deed.</p>

<p>IBM's adaptation of the perennial board game known as Othello/Reversi, in which two players exchange turns placing chips on the game board, attempting to enclose consecutive chains of the opponent's pieces between two chips of their own. A straight or diagonal line of chips thus trapped will switch sides to the capturing player's color; when all possible moves are exhausted, the player with the most pieces on board wins. <em>Verso</em> may be played against a fellow human contender or versus the CPU.</p>
<p>Traditionally, the opening layout places four chips (two for each player) at the center of the board. This is the default, but this particular rendition of the game includes a board editor, which lets you modify the initial arrangement of chips by changing their numbers and positions. If the game has you stumped, you can request a display of all available moves (or one recommended move); you can even undo your last move in a pinch.</p>

<p>As artillery games are wont to do, <em>Night Fire</em> sticks each player into the stuffy interior of a tank, placed somewhere on a randomly generated terrain, and pits the participants (2 to 8 of them) against one another in a merry free-for-all of ballistic abandon. The objective? stay alive, and prevent your opponents from doing the same by feeding them carefully-measured portions of flaming death.</p>
<p>Each player in turn can either move or shoot - moving is useful for improving tactical positions (and avoiding an untimely demise when enemy shells start getting too close). For shooting, the barrel angle and shell velocity can be modified as needed. Presiding over the battle is the full moon, which provides more than ambience: it helpfully displays on its disc two gauges, indicating air friction and the wind's speed and direction, which also have to be taken into account.</p>

<p>Race from coast to coast across the southern USA in this stock car racer, which takes you from Florida to California through freeways, bridges, side routes and country roads (and if you're so inclined, through houses and water bodies too).  As your car zooms in top-down view along the bends, forks and intersections, your only rival is the clock - represented by a fuel tank that only lasts 90 seconds, no matter your speed.</p>
<p>Strewn along the track are a few gas stations, crucial for keeping your tank from going dry. Traffic and other racers may get in your way, but the real nuisance is the police: any encounter with a squad car will get you ticketed, which detracts from your score (and may eventually end your game, depending on settings). You're free to leave the asphalt and rough it off-road, or to veer off course by taking the question-marked forks (which may or may not shorten your route).</p>

Ammo and fuel may be found in different places of the realms or purchased from the merchant and in the supply coin-op machine for gained coins.</p>

<p><em>Urban</em> is a puzzle board game. Urban and Marf walked along the beach at night. Suddenly Urban sank into the ground. Two mysterious figures commanded him to pass the maze in black glasses. Marf became his eyes. </p>
<p>Using the barriers the player must protect his friend from the death and allow him to get out of the maze. After setting barriers Urban starts continuous march by a defined direction - a) if he can't go ahead, he turns to the right, b) if he can't turn right, he turns left, c) if he can't turn neither to the right nor to the left, he returns. The exit doors open after collecting all the mushrooms. The player may use two types of barriers - solid or disappearing under the touch. Each level of the maze consists of a few chambers. To get to the next level of the maze, it is necessary to find the key. Urban must avoid the poisonous mushrooms, electricity and bottomless holes. Contact with them means an instant death. Electricity can be turned off by a switch, a bottomless pit can be covered by a barrier. The game includes numerous additional components, such as: spring (sends two squares forward), teleport (moves to another part of the board), arrow (allows you to move only in designated direction), lever (changes the direction of the arrows), crossroads (send in the desired direction), crown (turns off most of the obstacles), trolley (transports at the end of the track). The player receives WARX for completing each level of the maze. WARX can be exchanged for additional barriers or omission of one of the boards.</p>
<p>The game features 102 boards all together and has built-in chambers editor.</p>

<p><em>Trench Warfare</em> is a standalone modification for the first-person shooter <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a>. The plot takes place during World War II. A team of veteran American soldiers embark on a mission to recover documents captured by Nazis. The entire squad ends up dead en route, and only one man survives, Sergeant Raynor who must now complete the mission on his own. </p>
<p>The game's engine has some new features compared to the original game -- such as textured floors and ceiling, sky, and others. Apart from weapons and keys, the player can also find iodine tablets which allow him to sanitize and use puddles of water for healing, and adrenaline shots which can be carried around and used at any time for a health bonus. Other new features include enemy uniforms which Raynor can wear as a disguise to avoid notice, and the ability to drive a car. </p>
<p>There are some new dangers implemented into the game. There is barbed wire which must be side-stepped carefully, and enemy attacks can cause Raynor to bleed, which makes him slowly lose health until he heals himself.</p>

<p><em>Project: Weltuntergang</em> ("Project: Doomsday") is a standalone modification for the first-person shooter <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a>. The player controls B. J. Blazkowicz from the original game, who needs to infiltrate castle Blutigbeil where secret Nazi chemical weapons are being produced. </p>
<p>The gameplay remains similar to the original game. There are some added features, such as armor that protects the player from attacks but wears down quickly, deadly landmines, and some new enemies, such as Panzerfaust-wielding guards and tanks. The player can use two chainguns at once; he can also find an entirely new type of rifle, which uses special ammo. It's also possible to find holes and ladders which transport the player to other rooms. On some levels the player rides a motorbike, which is hard to control, but can be used to kill enemies by running into them.</p>

<p><em>Shanghai</em> is a single player, shareware, version of Mah Jong, the ancient Chinese tile matching game. The game is written in PASCAL and was originally released as shareware on bulletin boards and was later included on the April 1996 CD cover mount of PC Format (UK). It has six different tile sets and a Mark feature that allows players to bookmark the game at that point so that they can return to it should their strategy be unsuccessful. The game also has a Hall of Fame to record high scores. It is played with the mouse.</p>

<p><em>The 7th Square</em> is a single player, sliding block, puzzle game. The game is based on a 7x7 grid in which there are coloured tiles. There is a smaller grid in the upper right of the game screen and the player must recreate the smaller grid's pattern in the main grid by moving its rows and columns. The game is played entirely with the mouse and has a high score table and multiple difficulty settings. It is supplied with a level designer which enables players to create their own patterns.</p>
<p>The game was written to demonstrate what an individual developer could achieve using BASIC and the install package includes the developer's notes on how the game was developed.</p>

<p><em>Chess Housers</em> is a puzzle game where the player is to navigate through rooms blocked by chess pieces on a checkered floor, with some similarities to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1715/soko-ban/">Soko-Ban</a>, only here there is opposition.</p>
<p>The objective is to open a path for the players avatar, a glove, to get to an exit point on each level, while avoiding being blocked or squashed by the chess pieces moves. You accomplish this by pushing chess pieces to free squares and removing blocking objects in your and/or their way. When pushed, the pieces move until they hit an obstacle. The player can select to keep or destroy transparent boxes, but not boulders - for these the Knight is needed.</p>
<p>Movement of the chess pieces can look somewhat odd; the knight is the piece to aim at a breakable boulder, and it can only move in a straight line to crush it. A pawn will also move only move in straight lines, and will go as far as possible in the direction it's facing, when an obstacle is removed. Rooks jump on your glove if you step in their path. You move the avatar adjacent to a chess piece and use the direction controls to push it, if possible. If the chess piece movement is blocked by a transparent box, then you can push the box instead to make it disappear, and the chess-piece/s will continue moving through the open path, possibly blocking your way or even moving over your hand, in which case it's game over.</p>
<p>The original game supports only CGA graphics, and speaker sound effects. Graphics mode/palette is selected in-game with the F1 key. There are several difficulty levels, and the game is played with keyboard or joystick. Keys can be remapped - the directional keys are spread out: Q/A/O/P. There are no save-games, or level passwords in this early version, but those things were added in the later enhanced '93 <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Chess+Housers">VGA version</a>.</p>

<p><em>Black Jack '2000</em> is a computer version of the popular card game of the same name. The game features three gameplay modes: single, tournament, league. Single mode allows to play up to two players on a same screen. Tournament and league mode allows to play up to five players. The tournament is played by a classical tree system with sixteen players. League introduces standard table with games, wins and points. Each match consist of eleven deals. The game allows editing cards score and computer player's name. The game has no music or sound effects.</p>

<p><em>Ortos</em> is an educational game for kids for up to ten players. The player's task is to choose the correct spelling of Polish words. The correct missing letter needs to be selected from two different choices indicated in the middle of the screen. The player has only few seconds to make a decision. The game underlines the missing letter of the word the player needs to decide on. The gameplay is introduced as a two-player duel, developed into a cup tree system for the higher number of players. The correct answer is awarded with a green token. The winner is the player who first reaches a fixed number of tokens. The tokens are set next to the time indicator (alarm clock).</p>

<p><em>Championship Blackjack</em> is a conversion of the ubiquitous casino game, challenging up to six human players to rack up money by beating the dealer's hand. You can fine-tune the precise variant of Blackjack you wish to play: the game comes with five predefined rule sets, and each rule can be further tweaked individually.</p>
<p>One of the two game modes is "Fun Blackjack" - initial bankrolls are set by the players, and any number of hands may be played. The built-in hint system can provide advice according to two different strategies (basic or point-count). The other mode is Tournament: all players start with $500, the number of hands is set in advance, and hints are disabled.</p>
<p>The current game's progress can always be reviewed by calling up the Statistics screen. For those who just like to watch, a Simulation mode is also available, which pits a crew of computer players against the house.</p>

<p>Oxyd 2 is the successor of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/45720/oxyd/">Oxyd</a>, taking the basic gameplay of this game and extending it with new features. The goal in Oxyd 2 is to open all the „Oxyd“ stones. These stones reveal symbols if touched and of each symbol there are two stones containing it. Opening the pair of stones of a symbol without touching another stone, both of them remain open. If all stones are opened, the level is finished. But, as the game contains a sophisticated physics simulation, there are many things making this difficult, like gravity, magnetism and others. Some stones or stone rows must be pushed out of the way (think <a href="/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a>). There are new kind of stones and effects, like ropes connected to your ball pulling it in the direction of the ropes end.</p>
<p>There are 100 levels for single players. Two computers can be connected by either Midi or serial cable and there are another 100 levels for playing with two players in the local network.</p>
<p>The game disk itself can be freely distributed and contains the complete game. After level 10 there are stones which require a code, which is only available in the game book, which could be bought at Dongleware.</p>

<p>In this text-mode game the player controls a spidery-looking thing, which prowls the random, wrap-around playfield trying to dodge the titular ASCII monstrosity.  The screen is littered with Small Red Things that Passably Resemble Flowers, all of which must be collected in order to proceed to the next round; some of them will have a "power pill" effect (temporarily allowing the player to devour the enemy for points).  Later stages introduce additional foes that get faster and meaner as the game goes on, including a Brown Object that Looks Somewhat Like a Hamburger.  Needless to say, any run-ins with these evil edibles will result in a most ghastly demise.</p>

<p><em>Wazte</em> is a single-player, shareware tile-matching game. Tiles are dropped onto the playing area and the objective is to clear the play area and advance to the next level. Each tile contains two coloured corners and can be rotated. Groups of tiles are cleared from the game area if they arranged so that four adjoining corners are of the same colour. The game has a timer bar and when this runs out the game throws a tile onto the play area, alternatively the player can chose to place the next tile in a beneficial position.</p>
<p>The player is assisted by two turrets, The left turret has only one shot and clears five tiles in a cross formation, the right turret has two shots and clears a single tile which is very useful in the closing stages of a level when only one or two tiles remain.</p>

<p><em>Hypercycles</em> is a single-player, shareware, first-person action game with a plot that is reminiscent of the film <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tron">Tron</a>. The evil Dr. Devaro controls a place known as 'The Grid', he lures users into this realm to play his malicious games. In these games the player must ride their hypercycle and pit themselves against the doctor's legions of riders. In each maze-like arena there are rings that must be collected, these are the keys that will open the door to the next level. There are also missiles and other power-ups. The game has music, sound effects and is entirely keyboard controlled. The full game has thirty levels.</p>

<p><em>Search and Destroy</em> is a WWII-era naval simulator featuring a series of marine missions, all with the goal of defending groups of friendly ships from enemy sub attacks.</p>
<p>Each mission takes the player aboard a Fletcher-class destroyer into a different area, viewed using a zoomable map, where an enemy submarine must be located according to sighting reports received over the radio. The destroyer is armed with a limited supply of depth charges to dispatch the attacker, using the sonar (with its two selectable range settings) and depth indicator to intercept.</p>
<p>Enemy subs fight back with torpedoes, and all damage to the destroyer can be monitored and controlled, using pumps, flood controls and automated repair. If the attacker is successfully eliminated, the player's performance is evaluated and s/he may earn a promotion - and possibly a medal (for outstanding achievements). On the other hand, characters may be killed in action, or even demoted for desertion if a mission is aborted early.</p>
<p>The destroyers are modeled and named after real historical ships, and the game offers several features such as mission replay (letting you watch through the previous engagement with the enemy sub visible), a Sea Trials (practice) mode, and the Hall of Valor which records the history and statistics for every character created.</p>

<p><em>Wolfendoom</em> is a standalone modification of the first-person shooter <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a>. It is set in the <a href="/search/?q=Doom">Doom</a> universe. The protagonist is "B.J. Blazkowicz Jnr", a military consultant for the UAC corporation, who finds himself involved into a top-secret plot. It seems that experiments at UAC resulted in the opening of six portals to the "Doom Dimension", and now B.J. must head through each gate to close it from the inside before the demonic inhabitants invade Earth. </p>
<p>The gameplay remains similar to <em>Wolfenstein 3D</em>, but with a Doom theme. Each of the six episodes begins in an UAC base, where the player makes his way to the portal, then fights his way through the monsters of the gothic-styled Doom Dimension. The player collects keycards to open doors, skulls for score, and more powerful weapons: a plasma rifle and a chaingun. </p>
<p>The Windows version makes use of the SDL engine, allowing higher screen resolution.</p>

<p><em>Big Blue Disk #31</em> is a monthly disk issued by Softdisk Publishing. This issue contained two games, <em>"21" For 1 to 4</em>, which is a blackjack game for one to four players, and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1897/moraffs-revenge/">Moraff's Revenge</a>.</p>
<p>In "21" For 1 to 4, the player starts with $100 and gambles it to make a fortune or loses it all, in which case they have to withdraw another $100 from their secret Swiss account to continue playing. There is no save game feature, no high score feature, and the game is completely keyboard controlled.</p>

<p><em>Ant Attack PC</em> is a remake of the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/15142/ant-attack/">Ant Attack</a> for the PC platform. It tries to be faithful to the original so it is keyboard controlled, has basic sound effects and the same story/game play. </p>
<p>Release Zero (2000) runs in DOS or in a DOS window while the latest release, v0.02.001 (2006) is Windows only and has been renamed <em>3D Ant Attack PC</em>. Both versions do, however, allow some customisation such as changing the number of ants to be dealt with. The later version also has a city editor and save/load functionality.</p>

<p><em>Karuzelada</em> is a video game based on the TV show <em>Wheel of Fortune</em>. The players take turns guessing letters to form a word or a saying. The game can be played with up to three human players. During their turn the players can spin the wheel, guess a consonant, buy a vowel or guess a password. The game faithfully reflects the principle of the TV show, introducing three stages: three preliminary rounds (each player spins the wheel at the start of his turn), semi final (only one spin of the wheel at the stage beginning and 10 seconds turns), final (player lists 10 consonants and 1 vowel and has 30 seconds to guess the password).</p>

<p><em>The Endless Night</em> is a top-down adventure game that starts without a back story as the main character wakes up with amnesia in a pitch black world. His only goals are to find out who he is and unravel the mystery behind the endless night. </p>
<p>The only controls are the arrow keys to walk around. For most of the game, the screen is completely black with only the player illuminated for movement as he stumbles through the maze like map, occasionally bumping into items or someone to talk to. Eventually, should the player happen upon it, there is town where he can get a lantern that allows the player to fully see the map. From this point on, the game becomes fairly straightforward, searching the map for items and completing fetch quests for the villagers to advance the plot.</p>

<p>This is an enhanced demo version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/778/the-elder-scrolls-chapter-ii-daggerfall/">The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall</a> which was published on a number of gaming magazine cover CDs. While the downloadable demo version of <em>Daggerfall</em> had to be limited to a single dungeon because of file size considerations, the covermount demo also includes towns and wilderness, allowing to sample a much larger portion of the game.</p>
<p>The playing world is limited to the small island of Betony, which is a minor region in the full version of <em>Daggerfall</em>. For the purposes of the demo, it was reworked into a full fledged province with a walled capital city, several large and small towns, homesteads, temples, shrines and dungeons. All of these locations are exclusive to the demo version and are not found in the retail game.</p>
<p>Most of the factions that the player can join or interact with are present in the demo. The capital city of Betony has a knightly order, a Fighters Guild and a Mages Guild. Notably, however, there is no palace in the city. There is one temple in the capital and several more in towns and in the countryside. It is also possible to receive admittance into the underworld guilds. When the player joins a guild, all services become immediately available, without the need to advance in rank with that guild.</p>
<p>Other quests are available from merchants in shops and innkeepers in taverns. Each faction and guild has about 2-3 quests to offer to the player, all of them similar to those found in the full version of <em>Daggerfall</em>.</p>
<p>There is a short tutorial which briefly explains the basics of game play. The tutorial is different from the one in the retail version of <em>Daggerfall</em>, because the demo starts in a city and not in a dungeon. The tutorial includes a unique optional quest where the player needs to rescue a townsperson from a dungeon.</p>
<p>The demo allows to start the game with a custom character of any race and class, but it also includes saved games with six pre-generated characters. Five are standard character classes, and one is a custom class specifically designed for the demo, which is called the Protector. This character is a combination of fighter and mage classes with a focus on archery, and is capable of using all types of weapons and armour. The Protector is particularly suitable for beginner players, and its design allows to demonstrate the various aspects of the game, such as melee and ranged combat, defensive and offensive magic, different varieties of weapons and armour etc., with a single character class.</p>
<p>There is no fixed level cap for the player character in the demo, but skills cannot be trained above 40%. This means that the player character can advance to about level 5, depending on the class, initial stats and the distribution of bonus skill points during character generation.</p>

<p>Up to six players may compete in this bizarre, futuristic game show presented on the screen of a TV set (wooden finish and all). Each turn starts with a spin of the wheel: win the bet, and you score - lose, and you participate in a contest of your choice... to the death. </p>
<p>The contests are at least slightly deranged, if not downright mad: first there's <em>Mad Space</em>, which challenges you to a lightsaber duel on a floating space rock. Next up is the <em>Mad Machine</em>, where you chase a tiny robot around a room full of mechanical traps, and try to whack it on the head with a metal shield. <em>Mad Tunnel</em> is a frisbee-style game - like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/33984/discs-of-tron/">Discs of Tron</a>, if it were played with sawblades and rockets over a pool of mutated alligators. Finally, <em>Mad Virus</em> tosses you back and forth on a conveyor belt (through cages of hungry mutants) while you try to destroy the gigantic brain that controls it.</p>

<p>Taking a cue from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19628/tank-battalion/">Tank Battalion</a>, this game (whose Chinese title translates to <em>Battle of the Bulge</em>) updates the "tank in a maze" recipe with an isometric perspective and a WWII setting. The basic premise remains the same: patrol your territory as the enemy forces pour in, keep your armored war machine in one piece, and defend your base at all costs. The layout of each level determines the course of the action, though it can be modified by destroying the scenery.</p>
<p>The player may choose either the Allied or Axis side. Each level represents a territory: the Allies start out from North Africa, whereas the Axis powers begin their offensive from Germany. Apart from the usual tanks, the enemy also employs mine-laying vehicles, while the player has the option to call in air-strikes; various power-ups may be obtained by destroying enemy forces. Blasting all the enemies to oblivion will clear the level... but if they get your base, it's game over.</p>
<p>A password feature can be used to resume a game at a particular level (though you don't retain your score).</p>

<p>From the man who brought us <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4150/pizza-worm/">Pizza Worm</a> comes a tribute to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/523/arcade-volleyball/">Arcade Volleyball</a> that has never quite made it to v1.0, but is still fully playable in its released state.</p>
<p>Like the original, it puts two players (still with huge freaky heads) on opposite sides of a volleyball net. The same rules apply here: bounce the ball around and hit the ground on the opposing player's side to rack up points. If you own the ball and lose it (or touch it 3 times), the other player becomes the owner; the owner gets a point when the non-owner loses the ball, and the first player to score 15 points is the winner. Being such a versatile sport, each game takes place in a randomly chosen location, ranging from a calm beach all the way to outer space.</p>

<p>This unofficial add-on disc contains more than 5,000 levels, cheats, editors and tools for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness</a>.</p>

<p>A traffic control simulation in which the player must manage the flow of vehicles throughout a busy city block, during the rush hours of 7:00-9:00 AM. Every car has a particular destination, and as the clock ticks, traffic density increases and the streets jam up.  Score is determined by the number of waiting cars during each game minute (the lower, the better).</p>
<p>Each traffic light may be toggled individually or using an automated control system. After 7:40, all unlit lights come on automatically; at 8:00 the automated system fails - the lights must be controlled manually, and cannot be turned off until 8:46.  The simulation ends at 9:00, and success is determined by the number of waiting (and total) cars at that point; if too many cars line up at any of the entry points during the game, the player loses.</p>
<p>It is possible to redirect traffic between the entry points to clear up particularly heavy jams. A tow truck can be used to remove individual cars and resolve gridlocks (at the cost of a score penalty).</p>

<p>In <em>Losing Your Grip</em>, the protagonist, Terry, is in rehab for nicotine addiction. When the game begins, Terry is standing in a muddy glade as the rain pours down. Soon, a human head, buried up in the mud, explains, mysteriously, that Terry has "pieces to recover", and he is left to his own devices.</p>
<p><em>Losing Your Grip</em> is an interactive fiction game. Commands, like <strong>go north</strong>, are entered into a text parser, and the game responds with text as well.</p>

<p><em>747-400 Precision Simulator</em> is a civil flight simulator concentrating on the Boeing 747-400 (744) line. The game is foremost designed as a training tool and therefore the actual view outside the aircraft is small; the vast majority of the screen is used by cockpit instruments. Those are functional and can be operated by the player, even when the auto-pilot is on. However, not only the controls are simulated but also the electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic side of the aircraft.</p>
<p>The player may fly around the world, land on about 1500 runways or recreate some actual flight routes. Also featured are an aerodynamics simulation, malfunction scenarios and weather.</p>

<p>Humanity lost the big war against the alien empire and had to leave Earth and its solar system behind. Now, after over three hundred of hard life inside of space stations, they managed to build a small fleet of space ships and set out to find a new planet to call their own and destroy the empire in the process. The player takes the role of one of those ships.</p>
<p><em>Abaron</em> is a vertically scrolling shooter: the player can move the space ship in four directions, shoot the equipped weapon in order to kill alien ships and dodge their bullets to avoid losing the ship's life-energy. Extra equipment has to be purchased by collecting credits chips which are left behind by pre-determined enemies. Depending on how many were gathered, another weapon is available for purchase with a button press, e.g. three credits give a pulse laser and seven credits a shield. Some of the weapons can be upgraded by buying them more than once and if the player has bought multiple weapons, they can be cycled through. When more than ten credits are collected, the count is set to zero and extra points for the high-score are rewarded; another way to improve the high score is to collect stars which are randomly left behind by killed enemies. The ship has only one life and there are no continues, but the game can be saved at the beginning of each level.</p>

<p><em>Best of Mega Games</em> is a collection of shareware games for DOS.</p>
<p>When the player runs the install process it loads a DOS menu system, Magic Desk, onto their root directory. Once loaded the menu system gives access to some games directly and many others via folders. Most of the games run from the CD directly but others require installation. The games in this compilation are;<em> Games on the main menu:

</ul>

<p>It is the seventh millennium; the Earth is devastated, after centuries of war and multiple nuclear winters that caused a succession of ice ages. Sounds bad? It gets worse: the extreme irradiation has mutated the species, splitting it into four sub-races barely recognizable as human.</p>
<p>Escaping the inhospitable Earth, the factions have established themselves on other planets. A brave new chapter in history unfolds amongst the stars, as mankind begins to play out its potential upon the vast galactic stage: finally, there's enough room to <em>really</em> get serious with maiming, killing and destroying.</p>
<p><em>Kristor</em> puts the player in command of one of the four factions. Expansion and survival depend on a single vital factor: energy, which is produced by harvesting mineral resources. These come in three varieties (kristor, magnetronium and plasma) scattered throughout the various star systems in the quadrant. Stars may be explored (to prospect for minerals) by sending out unmanned probes; full-scale squadrons can then be launched to claim the system and install a mining unit. </p>
<p>The other three powers don't sit idly by - resources are limited, and competition is fierce. Alliances are formed and dissolved, and battle may be joined when a squadron encounters enemy forces (resulting in a first-person, action-oriented fighting sequence). Construction of ships, probes and mining equipment can be planned and modified according to available energy. All game events are tracked in real time.</p>
<p>The game comes with a cassette tape containing an audio recording, designed to be played in sync with the intro.</p>

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Lance / Dragons of Flame / Hillsfar

<p><em>Advanced Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Heroes of the Lance / Dragons of Flame / Hillsfar</em> is a collection of the following games:</p>
<ul>
</ul>

<p>Similar in concept to the later (and better known) <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Incredible+Machine+series">Incredible Machine</a> series, <em>Creative Contraptions</em> is all about creating silly machines from wacky parts to accomplish even wackier tasks. The puzzles consist of Rube Goldberg contraptions with wrong or missing parts, and the player must figure out the correct replacements - from basic devices such as pulleys and ramps to absurd objects like elephants, cannons and boxing gloves.</p>
<p>Three game modes are available: in the first, you pick a goal for your contraption, and your job is to fill in the basic mechanisms; the second puts you in charge of the "Zany Objects". The real challenge lies in third mode (Contraption Mix-Up), which takes you through a sequence of puzzles, complete with a time limit and a scoring system - the fewer mistakes you make, the more points you earn. Each sub-game can be played in two difficulty levels, and there's also a tutorial which explains (and demonstrates) how the basic mechanisms work.</p>

<p>A business simulation which puts you at the helm of a petrochemical conglomerate, where your only goal is to increase your fortune by dealing in oil.  You may choose to head the company for 1 to 10 years - each game turn represents half a financial year, and allows you to buy domestic and foreign oil, release it to refineries, review your profit/loss and net worth, manage your cash reserves, carry out investments and trade in the stock market.</p>
<p>To expand your business, you can put your hard-earned petrodollars to work by purchasing additional wells, refineries and gas stations, by investing in R&amp;D (to increase production efficiency), or by paying lobbyists.  Debt may force you to go into liquidation, while equipment failure may result in pollution and fines... not to mention such annoyances as strikes, union disputes, oil spills and hostile takeovers. And if the nice boys at the IRS bust you for tax fraud, you may even find yourself in jail!</p>

<p>This educational game attempts to endear basic mathematics to young school children by using liberal amounts of... cake. Five mini-games are included, all based on the theme of a bakery, where the sugary dessert can only be prepared by means of solving simple calculations. The first three exercise basic arithmetics through counting, dividing and distributing cakes; then there's a Flash Cards-type game that presents a series of problems (according to the chosen type and difficulty) to be solved in a guided manner. The final game tasks 1 to 4 players with catching falling cakes in mid-air, by giving the correct answers as quickly as possible - before they go <em>splat</em> and mess up the floor!</p>

<p><em>AxTrons</em> is a trap-'em-up / arena survival game taking place in a randomly generated playfield. You, puny Earthling, are thrown onto the arena floor where ten slavering aliens await, with nothing but your wits and an assortment of traps to get you by. If you get out alive, you may be found worthy to join the InnerGalactic ParaGlomerate, whatever that is... but can you survive?</p>
<p>You start each round with a limited amount of energy, which can be increased by collecting energy packets and Power Coins (spectators occasionally throw new coins onto the field). As the aliens attempt to hunt you down, you must dispatch them by laying down traps, barbs and grids - each type of device has a different tactical usage. You may also engage the enemies in melee combat, which mutually depletes your energy counts until the stronger one survives. Moving and dropping traps costs energy, too, so every little drop counts.</p>

<p>The planet Morphintax has been an ally of the Planetary System Union (P.S.U.) for a very long time, until the machine that was managing the planet's greatest wealth, a giant library network, was corrupted by all this knowledge and became the power hungry entity known as 'The Master'. The three members of the council decided to sens a special P.S.U. agent equipped with only a laser gun and a mini-dictionary to face The Master.</p>
<p><em>Le Labyrinthe de Morphintax</em> is an edutainment game about French language. Different aspects of French such as etymology, homophones, absurd sentences and vocabulary are taught through various multiple choice questions. The player travels through a labyrinth in the hope of reaching 'The Master'. On the way, various fantasy creatures and robots will stall the player by asking questions, with different results depending on the chosen answer. Some creatures will even attack the player if the right answer is chosen, or ask for a gift in order to open the way. Help is available (either via an helpful character, or by using the mini-dictionary) for more difficult questions. Some puzzles are also found along the way; the answer chosen will determine which way the player will go. Such puzzles may be a choice between three animals, one of which must be chosen by associating the various species to the correct animal. Some events might even require the player to choose the wrong answer on purpose.</p>

<p>Sudoku86 is a computer (mouse-driven) version of the well-known Sudoku games that use to be printed in magazines. Although designed in modern days, this game focuses on retro-playability. It's a 16-bit application using 320x200 graphic mode and 8086-compatible instructions.</p>

<p><em>Adventure Collection</em> is a compilation of the following games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2532/the-immortal/">The Immortal</a> (Amiga/DOS)/<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6373/crime-time/">Crime Time</a> (C64)</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Numero 10</em> refers to the shirt number of French football star (and later UEFA president) Michel Platini who here gets his own football game. Except for Platini's name and picture on the title screen there are no real teams and players featured. The game features only single matches featuring one blue and one black team that can be named beforehand. A match can be played by one or two players and there is also a demonstration mode where the computer plays against itself. When playing alone keyboard controls are available but in two player mode joysticks are required for both players. Difficulty can be selected from first to third division. It's also possible to choose game length, either five or fifteen minutes per half.</p>
<p>The game uses a side scrolling view similar to Commodore's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=International+Soccer">International Soccer</a>. In addition to the four movement buttons a single action button is used to play the game. This button is used for passing, shooting and tackling. When passing the ball will go to the nearest team mate while when shooting standing still will lead to a high shoot while doing so while running will lead to a lower shot. If not in possession of the ball the player closest to the ball is the one under control. When the ball is within six meters of goal it's possible to take control of the goalkeeper and the action button causes it to attempt a save.</p>

<p><em>Airline</em> is a managerial simulation in which the player is responsible for a airline corporation. 
The majority of the game is spent in menu and sub-menu screens which allow to buy/sell/lease aircraft, advertising, hiring staff or simply manage the balance. Because the overall goal is obviously to earn money, the most important part is to get orders and selecting a suitable aircraft and crew to perform it on time. Of course things go not always smoothly which then requires the player to intervene personally in an action sequence, e.g. landing an aircraft or loading cargo. Those are mandatory and can be practised against a fee. Each turn represents one month.</p>
<p>Additionally the game offers a multiplayer mode, three starting scenarios (founding a new airline, taking over an existing one or recapitalize an unprofitable one), three difficulty levels and historical information on aircraft.</p>

<p><em>Sky Bombers</em> is a shareware, single player, arcade-type shooter. The player controls a soldier with a jet pack who they manoeuvre around the screen. The objective is to destroy all the enemies before fuel and ammunition expire, once this has been achieved the player advances to the next level. The soldier has three lives and he is controlled with the keyboard and the mouse.</p>

<p><em>Komebumb</em> is a platform game with cartoonish characters.</p>
<p>In this game the player takes the role of a little hairy creature, with a great jumping skill, that has one mission: eat all the bombs in each level before the time limit reaches zero (there is a limited time to eat each bomb). The creature must avoid a lot of traps and enemies in all the levels. To kill the enemies the starring must jump on their heads. To increase the amount of points the player can kill enemies or collect coins in each level.</p>

<p>This turn-based strategy game may be played against the computer or another human player (either in a hot-seat fashion or via modem). Each side starts out with a starbase, a bunch of ships, some cash, and one simple objective - total annihilation of the enemy.</p>
<p>Various ship types are available, from lowly scout to mighty destroyer, and each has its own stats: hull strength, energy, shields, scan range, the number of weapon bays, and moves per turn (firing a weapon counts as a move, too).  The map grid is comprised of different sector types, some with associated astral phenomena that may help you, hinder you, or just throw you off course.  Planets may be exploited for resources to bolster your treasury, and the starbase commissions new ships and performs hull repairs; additional fixes and upgrades (weaponry, shields and energy storage) can be found on trading planets - for the right price.</p>
<p>Two opponents playing over a modem connection can communicate using the text chat option.  For single players who are feeling talkative, the game provides digitized voice feedback for pretty much any action... or lack thereof.</p>

<p><em>The Sorceror's Appraisal</em> is an adventure game starring Davy Jones, a magician of the Reality-on-the-Norm universe. He wants to prove to himself and his parents that he is ready for a great magic. Performing the specific ritual he should traverse between parallel worlds and return home.</p>
<p>The gameplay is common for most of AGI's games. The player moves the character on the screen with the arrow keys and types in the commands in English language. The protagonist can die with various extra death animations. Unlike many AGI games however, no points are earned for successful actions.</p>

<p><em>Lucullus</em> is a Hebrew adaptation of the classic board game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/81/genre-board-game-risk/">Risk</a>, renamed after a Roman general who, according to legend (or so the game claims), had invented a similar game in ancient times. 2 to 6 players may compete for world domination; in a two-player game, a third participant is represented by the computer, which controls a weaker, neutral army only capable of defense.</p>
<p>The familiar objective remains the same: destroy the opposing armies and conquer the world. First, the 42 territory cards are divided between the warring parties, who must distribute their armies among them. Each game turn begins with reinforcements, where additional armies are allocated; then comes the battle stage, with the results determined by a dice roll. Finally, the current player is allowed one transfer of forces between adjacent areas. Cards are awarded for conquered territories - a series of cards (three with the same symbol) can be traded in for reinforcements.</p>

<p><em>Nebula Fighter</em> is a one or two player, side-scrolling, space shooter in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5960/r-type/">R-Type</a>.</p>
<p>The story behind the game is that all the terrorists in the world banded together to form a single army. World governments were toppled and the terrorists took control of the world which they ruled by terror. After all this happened Earth was visited by an alien race and the New World Order realised there were other worlds to dominate. They captured an alien ship, built a fleet, and sent a single pilot to break through the aliens defences and wait in orbit for the rest of the fleet to arrive.</p>
<p>As is normal in such games the player starts in a basic ship and by destroying alien ships and capturing energy pods which automatically upgrade their ship. The full game has twenty-one levels and, according to the developer, has advanced AI which launches surprise attacks and co-ordinates the waves of enemy ships.

<p>The townspeople are alarmed: the wicked witch has been seen riding about on her broom, casting her vicious spells and turning the town upside down. Only the good magician Arthur can undo her evil conjurations - but he's nowhere to be found! Can you locate Arthur and help turn the town right side up again?</p>
<p><em>Upside Town</em> is an educational game for ages 4-6 done in a point-and-click adventure style, featuring full voice acting in either English or Hebrew. The player controls a small boy who attempts to find the good magician, exploring various locations around town to find helpful clues and objects; woven into the plot are several puzzles and mini-games designed to develop coordination, memorization and graphical/musical skills. The cursor changes shape to indicate objects of interest, and there's simple click/drag inventory system. The mini-puzzles vary in difficulty, according to the chosen skill level.</p>

<p>An animated adventure game for ages 5 to 7.  Twins Jennie and Tom were having a pleasant frolic through the forest, until they came across a strange, unknown path... and were ambushed by a pair of goblins. The two mischievous creatures won't tolerate any twins in the forest other than themselves, so they hatch a wicked plan to separate the children. Here, the player takes control of one of the siblings (either Tom or Jennie) as the other is abducted by the goblins.</p>
<p>The game uses a simple point, click and drag control scheme with an interactive cursor. Objects can be found or obtained to further the player's progress, and various characters will use full voice acting to communicate and interact. Journeying through a magical fantasy land to find and save the lost twin, the player will encounter numerous riddles and puzzles tailored to train basic skills - pattern recognition, size/color matching, visual perception, coordination, and exercises in music and logic.</p>

<p>Second game of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/41565/the-repossessor/">The Repossessor</a>'s author. The postman Pete Bailey has been murdered, and the only suspect is zombie Michael Gower. The local reporter Mika Huy asks Max Griff, Reality-on-the-Norm's private eye, to unearth the real killer, while she will interrogate the suspects. Player should help Max to complete this mission in this classic point-n-click icon-based adventure game.</p>

<p>This trilogy is a second Reality-on-the-Norm text adventure game made with the <a href="/search/?q=Computer+Novel+Construction+Set">Computer Novel Construction Set</a>. The player takes a role of punk Allen, a local ruffian. His tasks are consequently to get drunk, save the world from a chicken, and escape the prison.</p>

<p><em>Zangband</em> is a variant of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1789/angband/">Angband</a>, influenced by Roger Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber. This is reflected among other things in the changed goal: as opposed to Morgoth, the player descends the dungeon to face the Amberite Oberon, and after that, the Serpent of Chaos. As the game was further developed, numerous changes and additions compared to the original were introduced, including but not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>A wilderness with multiple towns.</li>
<li>A different magic system, featuring seven realms (Life, Death, Sorcery, Nature, Chaos, Arcane, and Trump). Depending on their class, a character may have access to up to two of these.</li>
<li>New races. Among the selection are now Amberite, Draconian, various Undead (Ghoul, Skeleton, Spectre, Vampire, and Zombie), and more. They also offer their own abilities and special powers. For example, Draconians have a breath weapon and gain various elemental resistances.</li>
<li>New classes. Examples are the Mindcrafter, who has magic-like powers but doesn't need spellbooks, and the Chaos Warrior, who has access to the appropriate magic realm.</li>

<p><em>L. Runner II</em> is a single-player, shareware platform puzzle game. </p>

Scattered around the platforms are treasure chests and obstacles such as water hazards. The object of the game is to collect all the available treasure on each screen and so progress to the next.

<p><em>Best of ZZT</em> is a kind of sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/393/zzt/">ZZT</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2596/super-zzt/">Super ZZT</a>. It is a shareware game that showcases what <em>ZZT</em> can do.</p>
<p>Epic MegaGames created <em>ZZT</em> with its game worlds and released it together with its level editor and world creation tools. This proved hugely popular and led to many home made worlds being created and shared on-line via bulletin boards. In 1991 Epic held a Game Design Contest to find the best of these game boards and they received over one thousand entries. Game boards from this contest were used to create two new game worlds, 'The Secret of Headhunter Isle' and 'Royal Treasures' which Epic released as shareware in 1992 under the name <em>Best of ZZT</em>.</p>

<p><em>Boomerang</em> is a two-player game for the Commodore 64 that appeared in the August 1989 edition of Compute!'s Gazette. That game was developed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/634371/kevin-dixon/">Kevin Dixon</a>.</p>

<p>The rewards are a big feature in the game's documentation. With every option enabled the game will spell each word on screen one letter at a time with each letter being spoken as it is displayed. When the player spells the word correctly the game will play a short but happy tune and when twenty points, or fifty depending on the game setting, have been achieved the game will display a pretty picture of a dinosaur.</p>

Guide Willy around his vast and very strange mansion, filled with death traps and dangerous creatures such as rolling razors, bunnyrabbits and flying TV sets, to collect his flashing items. A score panel on the bottom keeps track of how many of the many rooms Willy has explored and how many items have been picked up.</p>
<p>Even though <em>THW</em> makes some use of the Amiga's large colour palette, it remains true to its ZX Spectrum inspiration, so that each enemy is a single colour (or a single hue), dividing the screen in distinct 8x8 pixel blocks with separate colours for each block and having a black background.</p>

<p><em>Alchemyst</em> is a single-player, shareware, block moving puzzle game. Alchemy is about turning base metal into gold and that's the theme of this puzzle game, or rather turning blue/grey blocks to yellow ones.</p>
<p>The game is entirely controlled by the mouse. The game area consists of a series of rows of blue/grey blocks all the same size. There is one row of blocks at the top of the screen set apart from the rest and this contains some yellow blocks, clicking on this row causes the blocks within it to move one cell to the left with the left most cell 'wrapping round.</p>
<p>The player shifts these blocks around until they are happy with the desired pattern and the they click on one of the other rows on the screen. This transfers the blocks from the top row to the selected row. If a yellow block replaces a blue/grey block this is a good move, if a yellow block replaces an existing yellow block the result is that the block reverts to a blue/grey block. The game's objective is to repeat this process until all the lower rows contain nothing but yellow blocks. </p>
<p>The player can select different combinations of row size and height which affects the game's difficulty and the game records the highest score for each. There are optional sound effects and an in-game help file.</p>

<p><em>Knoxblock!</em> is a simple <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9001/breakout/">Breakout</a> clone written in PCjr Cartridge BASIC. At the bottom of the screen is a paddle, which can be moved left and right to deflect a bouncing ball. Lined up above are 32 colored bricks: knock them all down with the ball to win the game. Three balls are at your disposal, and if you lose them all (by failing to catch them with the paddle) it's game over.</p>

<p><em>Bugs!</em> is a free, text-mode clone of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/141/centipede/">Centipede</a> written in Pascal (some versions include the source). A horde of insects is invading, and the only cure is an inexhaustible supply of ASCII arrows, fired from a gun that can be moved throughout a narrow band at the bottom of the playfield.</p>
<p>An assortment of nasty bugs infests the mushroom-littered field: the segmented centipede, which descends from the top, and whose path depends on the placement of mushrooms; the spider, bouncing along the bottom and consuming the scattered fungi; the flea, which drops by to deposit new growths; and the scorpion, which poisons any mushroom in its path. Mushrooms may be used as cover, or shot away to control enemy movement and clear a line of fire. When poisoned, they'll knock the centipede segments down towards the bottom.</p>
<p><em>Bugs!</em> differs from the original by modifying some details of enemy behavior, but mainly by giving the player only a single life: one close encounter with a bug spells the end of our brave exterminator.</p>

<p>In yet another take on the classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3173/snake-variants/">Snake</a> concept, <em>The Worm</em> lets the player commandeer a smiley-faced crawler whose tail grows along with its appetite. The worm twists about the playfield in search of food, which comes in the form of numbers: when eaten, they increase your score (and your length) correspondingly. Occasionally a spider appears - a moving target worth 10 points, if you manage to chase it down.</p>
<p>Colliding with an obstacle or with your own body counts as a "crash", and 10 of these will end the game. However, the worm can travel diagonally too, which makes it possible to "pass through" your own body if you're careful enough. Another twist is the time factor: the game gradually speeds up until you devour a target (and slows back down when you do).</p>

<p><em>Lucky Seven</em> simulates a turn-based card game, played against the computer. After placing a bet, the player may draw up to seven cards, and their combined value determines the hand's score; the computer does the same, and the highest hand wins. A winning hand of 7 cards will double your earnings, and if you bust (by drawing a card with the same value as the first card in the hand) you'll double your loss.</p>
<p>You may continue until you're out of cash, and if the deck runs out, you're given a choice to either quit or reshuffle. The game is written specifically for the PCjr and requires Cartridge BASIC.</p>

<p>For maze maniacs who are bored of rectangular layouts and right angles, <em>PolyMaze</em> generates mazes in a multitude of different shapes, from a triangle to a 61-vertex polygon. Mazes are solved by traversing them along a grid, from a point on the perimeter towards the center, and each maze can contain 2 to 18 levels along the way; a later version of the game allows players to save their progress and retrieve it later, in case they get lost. Those who don't feel like doing their own path-finding may hand the task over to the computer, or just watch random mazes being generated.</p>

<p>The pen-and-paper game <em>Battleship</em> gets another digital translation, which pits man against machine for a round of grid-based marine warfare. Both sides get five ships each - of varying sizes - and hide them within their respective game boards, invisible to the opponent. Each side then proceeds to fire in turn, by selecting a target grid position. When all the squares occupied by a ship are hit, it is sunk; the first player to destroy the entire enemy fleet will rule the waves.  </p>
<p>The player gets 3 game variants to choose from:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Hide &amp; Sink</strong> - the basic game, with one shot per turn.</li>
<li><strong>Super-Hide &amp; Sink</strong> - the number of shots is limited, but each turn adds an optional missile launch (either from the sub or the patrol boat).</li>
<li><strong>Super-Salvo Hide &amp; Sink</strong> - as above, plus multiple shots fired per turn (depending on the number of ships the attacker has left).</li>
</ol>
<p>Each of these may optionally be played in "night" mode, which hides the type/size of the target until it's completely totalled.</p>
<p>Hide &amp; Sink is included on the premier issue of <a href="/search/?q=PC+Disk+Magazine">PC Disk Magazine</a>.</p>

<p>It's 1989, and there's good news and bad news. The good news: there's a spectacular meteor shower scheduled to light up the sky. The bad news: the meteoroids are bearing a rather deadly, virulent disease -- when they impact our planet, things might get ugly. It's up to you to contain the infection, and prevent mankind from getting its own museum display case, next to the dinosaurs.</p>
<p>Your stint as head of the Global Disease Control Center lasts from 15 to 30 game turns (depending on the chosen skill level). One turn represents a day, and allows a limited number of actions: you'll be able to monitor approaching meteorites on the radar, target them with missiles before they hit, and enact emergency measures throughout the Earth's fourteen regions to curb the spread of the contagion. Disease statistics are updated on the world map on each turn, and various remedies can be deployed, ranging from vaccination, irradiation and body suits to genetic engineering, firestorms, and that perennial last resort... the nuke.</p>

<p><em>KaleidoKubes</em> is a puzzle game where players places cubes on a board. The game is meant for two players, either against a human or against the computer, but there is also a practice mode for one player. Each cube is split into four triangles of different colours (blue, green, red, yellow) and to place one on the board the colour of each side has to match the colours of adjacent cubes. Each cube has to connect to at least one other cube. The players earn points for each cube that is placed on the board and the more sides that are connected the more points will be earned. The game is turn based and each player has a limited time (30 or 60 seconds depending on settings) and when it's out the player gets a point penalty and the opponent takes over. For each turn the player has just one cube which can be rotated and if he can't find a solution it's possible to pass. The winner is the player with the highest score when the board is filled or when two consecutive combinations of time running out or passes have been made.</p>

<p><em>TrianGO</em> is a variation of the board game Go that is played on a hexagon shaped board. The board is composed of 21 lines which cross to form triangles. The lines intersect to create 55 points where players can place their stones. The game is available for up to four players who take turns placing stones on the board. The aim is to capture the stones of the opponents by creating triangles. A triangle is created when three stones are positioned so that they can be connected with straight lines. All of the stones that are located within the triangle can then be captured if the player chooses to. When making a capture, both the player's own stones and those of the opponents are removed from the board. The player's own stones can be brought back into play while the opponents' are permanently out. To win the game the player has to become the last one still able to make a move (due to still having stones left).</p>

His task is to find a fuel to leave this town quite surrealistic for the aliens. The game is divided in two parts accessed with 'universe' and 'earthfly' passwords.</p>

<p><em>Tekhnoboy</em> is a compilation which includes two games:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1076/highway-hunter/">Highway Hunter</a>* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/67205/frantis-mission-ii/">Frantis: Mission II</a></li>
</ul>

<p><em>Frantis: Mission II</em> is a side-scrolling platform game which continues the story of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/46203/megadestroyer-frantis/">MegaDestroyer Frantis</a>. As the main character's craft is shot down over planet Rakbet IV he bails out in an escape pod and lands right in an underground enemy base. He must now continue his mission on foot, proceeding deeper into the complex in order to destroy it from the inside.</p>
<p>Typical for the genre, the gameplay of <em>Frantis: Mission II</em> consists of navigating two-dimensional levels, collecting powerups, keycards and fighting various enemies. It is possible to buy powerups in terminals that can be sometimes find in the levels. The game only has a single-player mode.</p>

<p><em>Amazing</em> is a single player, shareware, maze game.</p>
<p>The player starts with a play area which contains a great number of barriers that form the maze rather than the traditional maze which has a confusing pattern of parallel walls. The object of the game is to navigate the player's marker around the screen to the exit point using the arrow keys but periodically these are redefined so that, for example, the left/right keys may become right/up.  </p>
<p>All levels are timed, completing eight levels advances the player through to the next level while failure to complete a level costs the player a life plus there are penalties for hitting a barrier. <br>
There are two ways to play the game;* 'Regular Amazing' which has two levels of difficulty Easier and Harder.</p>
<ul>
<li>'Expert Amazing' which has five levels of difficulty Practice, Reasonable, Fast, Outrageous, and Impossible.</li>
</ul>
<p>As the game gets harder the time allowed decreases, the number of barriers increases and they move around.</p>

<p><em>AntiC</em> is a single player, shareware, puzzle game describing itself as "a cross between Othello and Life". The name is derived from 'Anti Chaos' which refers to the nature of the game, where the purpose is to make squares of different colours all of the same colour.</p>
<p>The player is presented with a grid in which each square is linked to adjacent squares by directional arrows and may be red, blue, or green. Clicking on a square causes it to change colour. The square sends its colour to its neighbours which in turn causes the game to recalculate the colour of all the cells in the grid according to specific rules. The object of the game is to convert the grid to a single colour, does not matter which, in as few moves as possible.</p>
<p>The shareware version of the game has six different grid formations each with thirty-five possible starting formations; an unspecified number of additional puzzles/grids is available on registration. There is a 'Hall of Fame' which lists the player's best solutions for each of the thirty-five levels.</p>

<p><em>KrisKros</em> is a turn based, shareware, word game for one to four players. </p>
<p>The players are presented with a selection of lettered tiles and a grid into which these tiles must be placed to form words. The players take turns, each ninety seconds long, to enter their words into the grid. When one grid has been completed they may choose to attempts another or to stop. Words entered successfully up to the point where the player stops add to their score, however if a player is still working on a puzzle when the time expires they score nothing for that round.   </p>
<p>The game concludes when one player has scored more than five hundred points, at the end of that round the player with the most points wins.</p>
<p>The game has its own dictionary of around seven thousand words which cannot be edited. It is played entirely with the mouse.</p>

<p><em>Battle Charge</em> is a two player, shareware, strategy game which is so named because two players fight it out using charged tokens.</p>
<p>The game area is a 16x10 grid that is completely filled with two sets of counters, one red and the other blue; these fill opposite halves of the screen so that there are 8x10 red counters in one half and 8x10 blue counters in the other. In opposite corners sit pale red and pale blue counters, these are the king pieces of each player.  </p>
<p>The player fires a token by clicking on it and drawing the mouse back to set a direction and velocity. Most collisions cause the tokens to change place but under certain conditions the player can combine them thus converting their basic tokens into charged pieces. The charged pieces, which can be charged to levels plus/minus 1, 2, or 3, have different properties. When fired in future moves their trajectory can be influenced by other charged particles they pass, in addition they may destroy, demote, or recycle an opponent's piece.  </p>
<p>The object of the game is to capture the opponent's king with a charged piece.</p>
<p>Though the game is turn based and players are expected to alternate, the game does not enforce this leaving it up to the players to come to their own arrangement.</p>

<p><em>PaybackTime 2</em> is a shareware turn-based tactics game which bears many similarities to the tactical combat phase of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/521/x-com-ufo-defense/">X-COM: UFO Defense</a>. The premise in <em>PaybackTime 2</em> however is not that of an alien invasion, but rather of a futuristic combat sport of some kind. The players control teams (called units) of warriors that fight each other in a variety of environments. After each match the winning team gets money and experience points that can be spent to build up the strength of individual warriors, buy weapons, armour and equipment, and hire new team members.</p>
<p><em>PaybackTime 2</em> is primarily a multiplayer game, with a hot seat mode for up to four players. There is also an option to play against AI opponents, with four difficulty levels selectable. Each player can field a team of up to 20 warriors. There are three pre-generated teams of warriors in the game, and there is an option to assemble custom teams as well. In games with more than two players, any two or more players can be allied and fight on the same side.</p>
<p>The shareware version of the game only allows two-player games (either between human players or against an AI), and the number of warriors that can be fielded during a match is limited to 10. There are three different maps in the shareware version. The registered version removes these limitations and expands the number of maps to 22. Additionally, the weapon editor, item editor and map editor are enabled in the registered version to enhance game customization even further.</p>
<p><em>PaybackTime 2</em> comes with a very detailed manual, called the Tactics File, which explains the basics of how to create a new team, equip it and fight successfully. One of the pre-generated teams is used as an example.</p>
<p>The game has a considerable variety of futuristic weapons, which include firearms, energy weapons, explosives, grenades, and mêlée weapons. A separate text file is included with the game that contains descriptions for each weapon and item. More powerful weapons are capable of destroying much of the environment, including walls, which adds to the tactical opportunities during combat.</p>

<p><em>Berlin Wall</em> is a shareware, two-player, strategy game whose game-play has elements similar to <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>. It is entirely keyboard controlled.</p>
<p>In this game the players are presented with tetris-like pieces that appear at either side of the play area. Using the keyboard they must place their pieces and build a vertical wall across the screen. When a solid line has been completed it is removed, the player who constructed it scores points, the remaining pieces shuffle along towards the centre of the screen and the game continues. It ends, as in a game of Tetris, when no new pieces can be placed onto the screen for one of the players.</p>
<p>The game has ten levels of difficulty with each level introducing new shaped pieces. There is a high score table and optionally obstacles van be introduced into the game area to make wall construction more difficult. Additionally the game speed can be varied and the action keys can be redefined.</p>

<p><em>Hong Kong Mahjong</em> is a single player, shareware, mahjong game that can be played either with the keyboard or with the mouse.</p>
<p>As with the later game from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1612/nine-dragons-software/">Nine Dragons Software</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2479/hong-kong-mahjong-pro/">Hong Kong Mahjong Pro</a>, this game plays similarly to the card game Gin where you must accumulate straights or runs to win. 
There is an in-game help text which explains the game and the scoring in detail.</p>

<p><em>Quatris II+</em> is a single player, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Genre:+Falling+block+puzzle">Tetris</a>-like game. A three level version of the game was distributed as freeware but the registered version has over fifteen levels. </p>
<p>The game play is the same as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> and it's many clones. Blocks fall down the screen and the player must complete horizontal rows to clear fallen blocks and the game ends when the screen is full. When the player clears enough rows to advance to a higher level they are offered the opportunity to play a mini-game for bonus points. In addition to this the game has many other features which the documentation lists as follows:* Over 50 challenging shapes</p>
<ul>
<li>Three bombs (Wipe, Match, and Super Bomb)</li>
<li>Dynamic Well</li>
<li>AutoRotate to rotate large objects near walls</li>
<li>Tournament Style levels</li>
<li>Redefinable key configuration</li>

</ul>

<p><em>A Clue's Solution</em> is a shareware puzzle game for one to four people, it is turn based and can be played with either the keyboard or the mouse.</p>
<p>The game has elements of <a href="/search/?q=Wheel+of+Fortune">Wheel of Fortune</a> in that all puzzles are solved by selecting a letter of the alphabet from those that are available. If the letter selected is part of the target phrase the player retains control and selects again; if the letter is not part of the target, control passes to the next player. <br>
All puzzles are grouped by category and each game consists of two parts, first the player(s) must solve four puzzles which are clues to the final answer. After each clue is solved the player in control makes an attempt on the final answer with their attempt ending as soon as they select an incorrect letter. So, for example, in the movie category the ultimate answer is the film's title, the first three clues are actors/actresses, and the final clue is a short phrase or sentence describing the story.  </p>
<p>The game has two scoring modes either for the final solution only or for both the clues and the final solution. There is a save game function, three levels of difficulty. The shareware game has five categories Movies (307), Places (51), States (52), Quotes (45), and Pot Luck (110) with the number in brackets showing the number of questions in each, further categories and an optional puzzle editor were supplied with the full registered version.</p>

<p><em>Battle Beyond</em> is a single player, space, shooter game similar in concept to some of the old games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Star+Trek">Star Trek</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Stellar+Trek">Stellar Trek</a>.</p>
<p>As with the earlier games the player is presented with a 4x4 grid which represents the universe, each cell has icons in it showing where the enemies and star bases are. In their space ship they must fly through each sector eliminating the enemy ships. The player has no shields so collision with an enemy, a mine, a black hole, a minor asteroid or being costs the player one of their four lives.</p>
<p>Behind the game is a decent storyline of an Earth ravaged by an alien toxin that drove the survivors out into space where they are threatened by the infected who have rediscovered space travel.</p>
<p>The game has sound, a save-game function, and is entirely keyboard controlled.</p>

<p><em>Bunny Blast</em> is a single player, freeware, shooter.</p>
<p>The game is very simple which is understandable as it was written as a learning exercise. Basically the game is <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Whac-A-Mole">Whac-A-Mole</a>. Pink rabbits appear from the bottom of the screen and the player uses the mouse to shoot them. There are seven levels all with different names and identical game play.</p>

<p>In these days where card games abound and compilations can contain hundreds of games it's easy to forget that it was not always so. <br>
<em>Clock Solitaire</em> is a single player, shareware game consisting of just one solitaire variant. It is played entirely with the mouse, the player clicks on the pack to deal and then moves cards around to their corresponding position in a clock face arrangement. This form of solitaire is one where there is very little strategy, success ofrfailure depends entirely upon the deal of the cards.</p>

<p><em>Defender</em> is a shareware clone based <a href="/search/?q=Genre:+Scrolling+shoot+'em">like many others</a> on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/13746/eugene-p-jarvis/">Eugene Jarvis'</a> classic.</p>
<p>As this is a clone the gameplay is identical to the original. The player controls a spaceship which they must use to prevent aliens from abducting people. This version can be played with the keyboard, mouse or joystick. It has a high score table and sound effects.</p>

<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled. Coloured tiles slide down a ramp and the player controls a grey catcher which collects them as they reach the edge. Once collected the player positions the catcher over the play area and drops the tile into the desired position.

<p><em>Moraff's Pinball</em> is a single player, shareware pinball game that is entirely keyboard controlled.</p>
<p>This is not a simulation of a real table is an early, low budget game of its type where everything is displayed on a single screen. The VGA table occupies a square in the lower left of the screen and above it there are helpful messages such as 'Light A,B,C,and D to release ball'. Over on the left of the screen is the current score game's name, high score table, a reminder of the action keys and the number of balls remaining. </p>
<p>The player has five balls per game but if all trapped balls are released there could be as many as five balls in play at a time. The author claims it is the first game ever to support VGA in high resolution 640x480 sixteen colour mode, it also has an EGA mode which displays a slightly smaller screen and a little less information.</p>

<p><em>Bardarts</em> is a one or two player, shareware darts game that is based on the classic pub game of 301. In this game the player must finish on a double and the game uses the darts standard 'bust' rule, i.e. if a player's score goes below zero then all scoring darts in that turn are discarded and their score is reset.  </p>
<p>To play this game the player uses the arrow keys to position the cursor over the sector they wish to hit, the default start position is always the bulls-eye. In the lower right corner is a circular dial. The player presses the ENTER key to start the pointer on this dial moving and they must press the ENTER key twice more to stop the dial at the twelve o'clock and six o'clock positions to set the accuracy of the shot. When the game is over the player(s) are treated to a burst of music before starting again.<br>
There is no high score table, no league table, and no save game feature.</p>

<p><em>Mel Odius goes Six String Searchin'</em> is a single player, shareware, graphical adventure game.</p>
<p>This is an old-school game where the player types in their commands, Look, Get, Talk etc and the game's parser attempts to make sense of it. The game's start screen gives the seven most common commands and a couple of shortcuts but invites the player to try others which is quite common for this kind of game.</p>
<p>The story behind this game is that the main character, Mel Odius, has had his famous candy-apple red, custom, Rocky Roads Signature Flying V guitar stolen on the day before he gets to play before some record executives. The object of the game is to find the guitar so that Mel can become a 'rock god'. Mel can be moved around the game via the arrow keys and he can talk to people and enter buildings. </p>
<p>The game uses a points system to chart the player's progress, the completed game scores 500 points.</p>

<p><em>Tank Wars</em> is a shareware game for two to ten players based on the same ideas as <a href="/search/?q=Artillery">Artillery</a> and it's more well known cousin <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/402/scorched-earth/">Scorched Earth</a>. Any of the players can be computer controlled and there are seven different styles of computer opponent. The game can be played by keyboard, mouse, and the length of a match can be set between one and ninety-nine games.</p>
<p>The players command tanks that are placed on the randomly generated landscape. Across the top of the screen are the controls that select the angle of the shot, the power of the shot, the kind of weapon being hurled as well as information showing who is firing, wind direction and wind speed. At the end of each round players who successfully destroyed competitors can use the points they scored to buy additional weapons, there are eighteen different weapons in the game together with two guidance systems and three defence systems.</p>
<p>The game has many configuration options which change the way the ground crumbles, what happens if a shot goes off the screen, whether shots and/or their trails are visible and much more together with a team play option. The game has sound and it is optional.</p>

<p>Written as a 16-line BASIC program published in PC Magazine, <em>PChallenge</em> may be described as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/64135/pong/">Pong</a> without the second player, or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9001/breakout/">Breakout</a> without the bricks, or both. The player controls a paddle, which can be moved along the bottom of the screen to deflect a moving ball and bounce it off the walls; lose all ten balls, and it's game over. The paddle comes in 3 selectable sizes, and the ball speed is controlled by an adjustable drag factor - the longer the game, the faster the action gets.</p>

<p>A simple maze navigation game with randomly-generated screens in 10 skill levels - 32,000 mazes are possible for each level. The player starts at the middle of the left-side wall, and must find a path towards the right side of the screen while racing against the clock; helpfully, a trail of dots is left behind the player's marker.</p>
<p>Being not much more than a programming exercise, the game uses a rather crude algorithm to generate the mazes, so the lower difficulties will have multiple solutions, while the higher ones may have none at all.  For such a contingency, the space bar will generate a new maze, though (somewhat unfairly) the clock keeps ticking while this happens.  The game was published as a type-in title in PC Magazine, along with a write-up that states: "this program will probably not become a cherished family favorite".</p>

<p>Battle a never-ending wave of invading alien vessels with your Galactic Gladiator, a ship stationed at the bottom of the screen, which can move laterally and fight off the attackers with its Zap Ray.  The aliens will attempt to zap you right back with their own rays, and must be destroyed for points; the Zap Ray can be fired continuously, but if it heats up too much your ship will be destroyed.  At the very top hovers the mothership: difficult to dodge, but worth quite a lot if repeated hits are scored.</p>
<p>6 difficulty levels are available, and the game keeps track of the best score for each level - as well as a separate record for each player's personal best.</p>

<p><em>Galactic Encounters</em> is a turn-based, command-driven strategy game in the mold of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/7548/star-trek-variants/">Star Trek</a>, although it dispenses with the Klingons and Romulans in favor of the less-infringing "Kaons" and "Omegans", respectively. The player is in command of the Illiad, a star cruiser in the fleet of the Consortium of Planets, charged with protecting the galaxy (a 8x8 grid of 10x10 sectors) from the aforementioned nefarious threats. To win, all Kaon ships must be eliminated within the allotted time.</p>
<p>As in most Trek games, the ship has various functions - shields, phasers, photon torpedos, ion engines, hyperdrive - which consume energy. Energy (and ammunition) may be restocked at one of the starbases scattered throughout the region. This variant adds a few twists: starbases may be destroyed by enemies; vital systems may be damaged in battle (requiring rest for repairs); energy-replenishing dilithium crystals can be mined on planets (risking the crew). Finally, the Illiad is equipped with a doomsday weapon, the Z-Ray, which deals stupefying amounts of damage and can utterly destroy every enemy in the sector. The catch? - it is highly unstable, and has better odds of destroying the player's ship along with everybody else.</p>

The player starts the game with a fixed amount of health and every move costs one health point and the player's score increases by one point. If the player escapes from the maze the game restarts with the score retained and health points refreshed. Scattered around the maze are additional bombs, potions worth twenty health points, and mystery items that could be either a bonus, a potion, a level, a mode, or poison)</p>

<p><em>SIMSpace</em> is a single player, shareware, space, 'flight and combat simulator'. The object of the game is to complete as many missions as possible, the game ends when the player 'dies' or when they have failed three missions.</p>
<p>The action takes place on the bridge of a starship. Missions are received from Space Force HQ on the main screen which the player must then execute. While the game may cut away to show brief scenes there is effectively only one screen on this game and that is the bridge of the starship. All the controls the player needs to navigate, fight, defend, communicate, etc are there together with the game controls to save, exit, and match the game to the speed of the player's CPU.</p>
<p>The game's features include a boss key, over fifty types of mission, game editors, modem play and more.</p>

<p><em>On the Seventh Day</em> is a single player, god-sim from the early 1990's. The game was played on bulletin boards via a BBS Door and required a BBS drop file to be set up on the player's machine. </p>
<p>The premise behind the game is that there are gods, lots of gods, and they battled with each other to see who should rule the heavens. Many centuries of battle got them nowhere so, eventually, they decided they needed another way to decide who was the greatest and this led to the creation of the earth, all its plants and animals, and ultimately to man and woman. The rules of the gods' game were simple.* The victor would be the god who retained the largest number of faithful followers at the end of the game.</p>
<ul>
<li>As soon as a god had no more followers, he should die.</li>
<li>This would continue until only two gods remained. Then their 
followers would fight on the playing field until one of the two sides were completely defeated.</li>
</ul>
<p>The game is played by making alliances with one or more gods to defeat an opponent who is then banished to hell. Miracles can be performed to gain more followers which is key because more followers means more power.</p>

<p><em>Bass Duel</em> is, as the name implies, a fishing game for one to two players. It is by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/316973/richard-a-olsen/">Richard Olsen</a> and is effectively a two player version of his earlier game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/34077/bass-class/">Bass Class</a>, lakes created for this game and for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/67569/basstour/">BassTour</a> can be used in this game. In all BassDuel will support up to fifty different lakes.</p>
<p>BassDuel is a two player fishing game which can be played as a single player game, it has three levels of difficulty Novice, Intermediate, and Pro together with a practice mode. In a game the object is to catch as many fish as possible with the greatest weight winning the match. Players fish for six hours of game-time per day in three day tournaments. All catches must be weighed in before the end of the day, failure to weigh in means no credit for all that work. In addition the players must manage their fuel and battery power to ensure they are not left stranded on the lake, and select the appropriate rod and lures for the environment.</p>
<p>The game rewards big catches, is a player lands a fish that's bigger than the current record there's a short ceremony and the player is recorded as being a record holder. The game also keeps records of the biggest stringers, i.e. the combined weight of all fish caught and records record holders for these too.</p>
<p>To aid the fisherman/woman they are given a boat which is equipped with a motor, fixed amount of fuel, chart recorder, rod &amp; tackle boxes etc. The player can fish in six different lakes in the basic version of the game and the computer places the fish in realistic locations depending on the lake's topography. The game also features a quoted thirty "of the top names in bass tournament fishing" as opponents.</p>

<p><em>BassTour</em> is, as the name implies, a fishing game. It is by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/316973/richard-a-olsen/">Richard Olsen</a> who developed <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/34077/bass-class/">Bass Class</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/67565/bassduel/">BassDuel</a>, In all BassTour will support up to fifty different lakes which were available for purchase as separate products. <a href="/search/?q=Nels+Anderson">Nels Anderson</a> who is listed among the credits, also developed <em>BassMap</em>, a shareware utility that could be used to create new lake maps</p>
<p>BassTour has three levels of difficulty Novice, Intermediate, and Pro together with a practice mode. In the game the object is to catch as many fish as possible in a three day tournament with the greatest weight winning the match. The player fishes for a six hour session each day, in game time not real time, and all catches must be weighed in before the end of the day, failure to weigh in means no credit for all that work. In addition the players must manage their fuel and battery power to ensure they are not left stranded on the lake and select the correct rod and bait for the environment.</p>

<p>This is the first game in the Redcat series. It's very different from the later educational Redcat games aimed at children. In this game you play as Redcat, who sets out to retrieve the stolen treasure from the mice.</p>
<p>The game has 10 levels in total. In these levels you will be killing different kinds of mice with your sword, bombs, a machine gun or a flamethrower. You will also be picking up money on your way to the final level, which will make your score go up. There are a number of traps set up throughout the levels as well, like spike pits and blocks that will crush you.</p>

<p>This is the second Redcat game, similar to the first one. In this game, princess Dana has been kidnapped and it's up to Redcat to save her.</p>
<p>The game plays a lot like the first Redcat game. You play as Redcat, who has to fight through seven levels to rescue the princess. During these levels, you will have to kill a lot of mice again to get to the end. This second game features some new additions not available in the first game, like some new enemies and items for Redcat to pick up.</p>

<p>A shareware, WWII-themed flight simulator with combat that tries to capture the "spirit and feeling of real flight" while avoiding the complexities of other flight sims.</p>
<p>The game, while having only one type of fighter-plane to pilot, offers the beginner several flight-training tutorials, regarding airplane controls, view control, take-off, landing, bomb runs and dogfighting. The main part of the 'Flight Action' are the individual scenarios that, very unpretentiously, drop you right into the action of attacking ground forces, naval fleets or convoys, fighting enemy bombers, participating in air-races where you have to guide your plane through gates in low-level flight, or rounds of 'survival-style' dogfighting. The game also allows the player to record his actions, view demos and review his own recordings from the main menu.</p>
<p>In-game, the program offers a range of additional instructions regarding flight-basics, the cockpit controls and, uniquely, a guide to stereo-vision by means of either mock-up 'glasses' that separate your vision, or by using a reflecting stereoscope. Both methods rely on the game's option to split the screen to allow for said stereovision effect.</p>
<p>Graphics are very simple, since the game offers no textures, but flat-shaded polygonal model of planes, ships, buildings, trucks with different colored, animated flat 'particels' making up the explosions. The airplane's cockpit is fully modelled, allowing for 360° view and mouse interaction. There is digital sound of engines and 'takatakataka' machine-guns and bombs.</p>

<p><em>Laser Chess</em> is a chess variant for two players. The goal is same as in traditional chess game - defeat the opponent's king. The gameplay is enhanced by laser weaponry, although the players may choose the standard way of playing. The player may manipulate (by moving and rotating) all the pieces. There are eight types of pieces with special abilities, such as splitting or absorbing the laser beam. Basically most of the pieces are covered with mirrors reflecting the laser beam. Laser piece fires a laser beam in a straight line into a mirror piece placed opposite. The laser beam reflected by the mirror moves forward until it hits another mirror (including opponent's one), wall (beam disappears), absorbing piece (beam disappears) or destructible piece (including own one). The king and the laser have no mirror protection, some of the other pieces are protected only on the selected sides and the diagonal piece can't be destroyed by a laser beam, because all of its surfaces are reflective. The loss of the king means the end the game, the loss of the laser - the necessity of playing chess in the traditional way.</p>

<p><em>Game of Blocks</em> is a single-player block moving puzzle.</p>
<p>The game window consists of two parts. The lower part is a wide low picture wall, there are six to choose from, and the upper part is used by two flying 'brickbats' one good and one bad. When the game starts the image in the lower part of the screen is converted to blocks and scrambled. Using the arrow keys and the spacebar the player manoeuvres the good brickbat to pick up blocks and drop them into position to reassemble the original image. While they are doing this the bad brickbat is also moving blocks around randomly as well as trying to kill the player's good brickbat by dropping blocks on them.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled. This game was redeveloped for Windows by its author, the later version was renamed <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Brickbats">Brickbats</a>.</p>

<p><em>Classic Adventure: The Original Colossal Cave!</em> is a version of the text adventure game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/7496/adventure-versions/">Colossal Cave Adventure</a> developed by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/15632/will-crowther/">Will Crowther</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Don+Woods">Don Woods</a> which has spawned so many copies and variants over the years.</p>
<p>This is a 370-point version that was developed in MS-PDS FORTRAN. It starts, as most versions of this game start, "You are standing at the end of a road before which is a small brick building. Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully."</p>
<p>The player then explores the environment, encountering snakes, dwarves, treasure, traps and usually death.</p>

<p><em>Rapid Assault</em> is a science fiction driving shooter. The action takes place in the fourth decade of the twenty-first century, in a peaceful world ruled by the United World Council. However, the last few surviving syndicate bosses, led by Sceptre, began to gather the strength threatening the new world order. The Secret Council has approached You to eliminate the growing threat. Your mission is to expose Spectre's operations and uncover the double agents in the UWC.  </p>
<p>The game features a training mode located in the arena, where the player must defeat ten laps full of enemy vehicles. The main mission of the game is divided into twenty stages. The stage task must be completed within the estimated time in a designated place, marked by a flag. Each task is a part of the game story, divided into seven chapters (city, waterfront, canyons, old west, caves, jungle, asteroid base), rewarded with an animation and a level password. The first task consists of finding the secret agent holding an information about the enemy base, the next ones require destroying radar system, regaining control of the power generator, interrupting the secret weapon research, annihilating selected facilities and so on, until the final task - capturing escaping retro space landers.  </p>
<p>The player may select one of four available, heavy armed vehicles. Each of the cars is described by four indicators: acceleration, speed, armor and handling. Each car is equipped with a radar and four types of weapons: machine gun, laser, mortar, homing missile. Arena training allows to use fifth weapon: experimental dual-fire homing missile. Radar screen allows to track bonus object and hostile vehicles. 
Every arena features some of the available power ups, such as: bonus time, repair, extra score, freeze, nuke, ammunition.</p>

<p>A straight PC conversion of its card-based namesake, also known as Blackjack: each round begins with a bet, and the goal is achieving the highest hand without going over the value sum of 21. The computer (dealer) and the player both draw cards, and then decide their move - hit or stand, or (for the player) double, split or surrender; when the dealer has an upturned ace, the player gets the option for an insurance bet.  Gone broke? - the game ends, and shows you some statistics to review.</p>

<p><em>Blockade</em> is a variation on the <em>TRON</em>-inspired Light Cycle concept, for 1 or 2 human players - computer-controlled rivals can join in for up to 6 players in total. Each player's objective is to block the others' paths with the trail left behind in their passage through the playfield - without running into their own trail, other players, or the boundary wall.</p>
<p>A round is won when all opponents have been blockaded. Players are then scored according to their placements, and the next round begins; the first player to reach 100 points wins the game. Some parameters may be adjusted, including game speed, disappearing trails (for eliminated players), and the behavior of AI opponents.</p>

<p>Thought frogs had it easy? <em>Bugfeast</em> is here to shatter your idyllic concept of the little green hoppers' daily lives, and show you just how tough it gets in the wild - even when all you wanna do is catch a bunch of flies. Your ASCII amphibian can hop left and right, and extend its tongue to grab the fat juicy insects. But with those huge desert spiders out to get you, and mischievous kids trying to trap you for their amusement, it's a harsh life out there.</p>
<p>Being a frog, you can try to hide underwater... but that will only attract the fiendish water-snakes. With some luck you'll be able to squish the spiders and avoid the cage traps, and with even more luck, you may awaken the cactus-dweller to increase your scoring. The "supertongue" gives you greater range, but uses more of your limited number of licks; if you run out, it'll kill you as surely as any vermin. And if this all sounds <em>too</em> tough, the difficulty level is adjustable.</p>

<p><em>The Last Warrior</em> is a space shooter is controlled from the cockpit of a scout ship - the last one in its squadron, following a particularly vicious alien attack; only a pair of frontal-mounted lasers and a finite amount of shield energy stand between the player and waves of relentless enemy fighters. As alien vessels zoom across the viewscreen, they must be hunted down using the lasers, before they get the chance to fight back.</p>
<p>Every shot had better count, since firing uses up your precious shield energy. Enemy fire will deplete the shields as well; one hit without a shield, and you'll be sucking vacuum. When it's all over, your performance will be scored, along with a display of your hard-earned military rank.</p>

<p>Take control of a hungry tropical bird, prowling for a succulent meal while on a break from brooding on her eggs. Catching that fat fish swimming leisurely in the river below isn't a trivial task: the bird can only be directed by flapping its wings, in a manner similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4059/joust/">Joust</a>, with additional momentum control to the right or left. Any imprecise movement, and the famished avian may find an untimely demise beneath the waters, or be swept aside by an onrushing wave.</p>
<p>Once a fish is picked up, it must be brought back to the nest within the time limit, or the bird will die. The quicker your performance, the higher your score, which multiplies with the difficulty level; higher levels speed up the action and make the bird harder to control.</p>

<p>To humans of the far future, the forgotten planet Earth is nothing but an old tale. That is, until a lucky explorer stumbles into the lost blue sphere... but will signs of ancient habitation be found? It's time to break out your three trusty Archeodroids - excavation robots programmed to retrieve archeological evidence. Their job? - to poke around in Earth's garbage, and retrieve the debris that holds the key to mankind's past: human skeletons, car debris and piles o' junk.</p>
<p>Points are earned by bringing dug-up artifacts to the ship; each droid is equipped with ten power charges, allowing it to move and blast through the dirt. Trouble is, a chargeless droid will quickly self-destruct unless it recharges back at the ship - plus, cave-ins may block up the tunnels and even destroy the poor droid. A deceased droid's remains (and its collected artifacts) can be picked up by its successor. Your objective is to plan your excavations carefully, avoid getting trapped, and receive the maximum score for your findings.</p>

<p><em>Hover</em> is a futuristic Tennis-like game for two players. Each controls a racket-wielding character on one side of the court, and gains points by sending the ball flying past the other player and into the opposing wall. Ball movement is determined by the physics of gravity and momentum; both players are also equipped with a jetpack, which can be activated for some Y-axis action. Hitting one of the two boxes in the corners will reset the turn, and being hit by the ball without swinging the racket will eliminate the player, scoring 5 whole points for the opponent. Each team has a limited number of men, and total game time is adjustable (from 50 to 200 seconds).</p>

<p>An adaptation of <a href="/search/?q=Gridrunner">Gridrunner</a>, where the player is assigned to defend Earth from a herd of ravenous space worms, who have apparently developed a particular appetite for the planets of the Solar System. Action takes place along a grid; the player's ship is free to move about its bottom rows, though it can only fire upwards. Each attack wave brings more of the marauding creatures into the fray.</p>
<p>The worms descend from the top in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/141/centipede/">Centipede</a>-like fashion, weaving and winding across the playfield. Knocking out a worm segment will only split the creature in two; the blasted segment will keep blocking traffic as it mutates. Eventually it will fall off the grid, destroying everything in its path. The defense grid is equipped with two automatic laser guns, which prowl the edges and attempt to zap the intruders, but they only make things worse - being caught in the crossfire is bad news for the player's ship.</p>

<p>Space pilot Duke Skytripper finds himself stranded on a backwater planet, following a nasty encounter with some space rubble and a little too much beer (not necessarily in that order). Setting out across the landscape, he discovers that having a smouldering wreckage for a ship is the least of his problems: the green, slimy Martians are here, and they'd like nothing more than a group hug.</p>
<p>As a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Robots">Robots</a>/<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Chase">Chase</a> variant, <em>MMFM!</em> has a simple goal: get all the Muck Men killed before they get you. Each level finds Duke in an enclosed arena, with several gooey aliens for company. For every move he makes, the Martians will attempt to close in for the kill; if they're manipulated into colliding with each other, they'll drop dead in a lump of goo - which is itself lethal to the touch. To escape a sticky situation, the player may tempt fate by teleporting to a random point, or (once per level) use the napalm blaster to kill everything in close contact.</p>

<p>A maze navigation game which places more emphasis on nimble fingers and quick reaction than on finding the way out.  The challenge is to avoid touching the walls: the player starts with 100 points, and controls a marker which must be guided towards the exit point; five skill settings determine the speed of the action.  Each bump against the maze walls will deduct a point, and when finished, the player's performance is ranked according to the remaining score.  The game's 10 levels may be played separately, or in succession - for an extra challenge, the multi-level maze carries the score from one level to the next.</p>

<p>A BASIC adaptation of miniature golf for 1 to 10 human players, courtesy of SoftSide magazine.  9 holes are played in sequence, with a top-down view of the course, and each player in turn attempts to complete a hole.  A shot is performed by positioning the putter at an angle and selecting a swing force from 1 to 9; each hole has a pre-determined par - the player's number of strokes minus the par determines the score, so (as in standard golf) lower scores are better.</p>

<p>A PC version of the traditional Chinese tile game <em>Mahjong</em>, for one human player contending against three computer-controlled rivals. The game is similar to rummy: each player starts with an assortment of 14 playing tiles - one tile may be discarded per turn, and a new one obtained. Tiles discarded by the other players may be claimed in order to complete an identical set, or a consecutive run of the same suit.</p>
<p>To win, a player must declare <em>mahjong</em> by filling out four complete sets and a pair. Certain difficult-to-obtain hands are awarded with a higher score; three variations on the rules and three skill levels are available, and the game keeps track of the best scores for each.</p>

<p><em>Pearl Harbour</em> takes you back to December 7th, 1942 (curiously, that's exactly one year <em>after</em> the historical battle -- then again, hardly the worst case of revisionism in gaming). You're put in charge of an anti-aircraft gun overlooking the waters, just as the first Japanese planes are sighted over the horizon. Your objective: shoot them down before they sink the whole fleet - or take you out.</p>
<p>The game presents the action from a first-person view, and boasts some realistic simulation aspects: the speeds of enemy aircraft, falling bombs and fired shells are true to life (relative to each other); ballistic trajectory must be taken into account when targeting. The Japanese bombers go for the standing ships first - the more they manage to sink, the higher the probability that they'll target your position instead (this is displayed as a number, next to your kill count).</p>
<p>When the fleet or your gun are destroyed, the game is over. The shareware version limits you to 200 rounds of ammo; the registered version removes this limit, keeps track of high scores, and includes the game's source code.</p>

<p><em>Station</em> is a single player, shareware game which simulates the management of an Australian sheep ranch. It is <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/22150/shareware-systems/">Shareware Systems'</a> first game and it is text based.</p>
<p>The game consists of a single screen divided into three main areas. In the upper left is a box containing a list of keyboard commands, S - Buy/Sell Sheep, L Buy/Sell Land etc. Pressing any of these keys brings up a small window in which the player decides whether they are buying or selling and by how much. Over on the right is a status window, here the function keys F1-F4 bring up the farm's status, current buildings owned, market prices, and a capacities window that shows how many sheep, dogs, and employees can be fed, watered and housed. Game events are also posted in this area, these include good things such as investments maturing and uranium being found on the land and killing sheep. <br>
Over on the lower left the game displays a "Welcome to Station!!" message. This is also a scrollable message area which, over time, replaces the welcome with warnings such as 'the buildings need to be maintained' or 'the employees are overworked'.</p>
<p>When the game is initially set up the player sets the speed at which it will run, after that it starts at the current year and gives interim status reports at the end of every season with the overall report at the end of the year. The player can both farm the sheep to sell their wool building the farm as they go and they can also invest in buying sheep, wool, buildings etc which can later be sold at a profit. It's a tough life and it's possible to lose all your sheep due to dehydration very quickly if they are not cared for.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled. It has a save/load feature with ten save slots but has no sound.</p>

<p>Word Addition: another logic puzzle. The player is given three statements in the form MLAEO + MIMEL = TABLE and from these statements the player must deduce which letter represents which number.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Word Crostics: the player is given a series of questions. The answers to these questions, when entered, complete a quotation or saying</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Word Division: this does not strictly involve words at all. The player is shown a long division sum in which all the numbers have been replaced by letters and they must determine which numbers the letters represent</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Word Find: a standard word puzzle in which the player is given a grid filled with letters within which the player must locate a series of supplied words all of which share a common theme.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Word Formation: the player is given an 11x11 grid in which the top row is filled with letters, the second row is blank, and the remaining rows are filled with a combination of blank cells, letters, and blocked cells. The player forms a word from the letters on the top row, the unused letters drop down to the row below where the player must form another word. This process continues until the player has entered a word for each line of the grid. Letters will only drop down to the row below if there is an empty cell beneath them. The player's score is the sum of the lengths of all the words, when all words have been entered the player can view the computer's best solution.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Word Multiplication: as with Word Division, this does not strictly involve words at all. The player is shown a long multiplication sum in which all the numbers have been replaced by letters and they must determine which numbers the letters represent</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Word Subtraction: similar to Word Addition, the player is given three statements in the form DCUPDPC - RTPCIRO = REDUCED and from these statements the player must deduce which letter represents which number.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Wordless Word Find: this is exactly what it claims to be, a Word Find puzzle in which the player is not supplied with a list of the target words.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>There are three levels of difficulty for each puzzle though as the game's documentation says;<br>
<em>"... some puzzles are inherently difficult and cannot be made truly easy. Super Bowl A Word, Synograms, and Antograms can be particularly difficult, for example, because in each of these puzzles, you must unscramble 'anagrammed' words up to 15 characters in length. For these types, even the easy category can be quite challenging"</em>.</p>
<p>Each puzzle has both a help feature, which explains the puzzle and gives tips, and an assist feature though what the latter does is dependant upon the puzzle, it may give a letter or word in some cases while in others it may solve the puzzle. </p>
<p>Upon registration of the shareware version the player would receive a a pack containing a further thirty puzzles. Further puzzle packs, each containing thirty puzzles, were available, these could be ordered separately or delivered monthly for those players who took the annual subscription option. Many of the puzzle types on offer appeared in the Dell magazine and have been renamed to avoid any copyright issues, the order form helpfully lists both names so that players can order the puzzles they are familiar with.</p>

<p><em>Keno Royale</em> is a single-player, shareware game based on the gambling game that is popular in the USA. This game has two modes of play, casino mode and a version of a US state lottery. Whichever mode is selected the gameplay is identical the same it's just the number of selections that the player can make that changes.</p>
<p>The player starts with one thousand dollars and after selecting the mode of play they choose how many consecutive games to play, how much they wish to wager, and how many numbers they wish to play the limit is five numbers in state lottery mode and fifteen numbers in casino mode. Having made these choices the player can either select their own numbers or have the computer pick them. The computer then picks twenty random numbers and pays out, or most likely, does not.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled and has basic sound, bleeps when the numbers are drawn and a ta-da! when the player wins.</p>

<p><em>Numbers &amp; Logic I</em> is a single-player, shareware compendium of three puzzle games. The puzzles in this game are:* Maze 8: where the player is presented with a hexagonal grid in which each cell contains a number from one to nine. The objective is to find the path that connects the left and right sides of the grid that totals the least.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Find 9: this is played on a 16x11 grid where each cell contains the numbers from one to nine. The objective is to find 3x3 areas within that grid where no number is repeated</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Dial 10: this game consists of four concentric circles which the player must rotate so that the numbers one to ten appear once only in each quadrant</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>All games played using the mouse and are timed and the eight fastest times are listed on the high score table.</p>

<p><em>The Enigma Of Ashrella</em> is a BBS Door, text based, role-playing game. In the world of Daagrung lies the continent of Ashrella. Named after the Goddess of the Harvest, Ashrella is a peaceful and prosperous land or at least it was until the creatures came. No-one knows where they come from but they destroy crops, kill, rob and disappear. It's the player's task to end this plague.</p>
<p>Upon entering the game the player is presented with an outline of the story, they then enter their game-name and are rewarded with another piece of the story and some instructions before choosing their class and setting their player stats. Ashrella is/was an on-line world which had no non playing characters, at least that was the case in version 2.0 beta, so players had to interact with each other in order to make progress and explore the world. Gold is important here, it could be earned by killing creatures, by gambling, or by selling items such as gems or flowers. Alliances could be made and enemies could be destroyed by sending disease, curses or assassins after them.</p>
<p>The game is composed of a several of chapters and it was reckoned that it would take about a week to complete a sub-chapter and defeat its boss, and about a month to complete a whole chapter.</p>

<p><em>Everest: The Iceman's Apprentice</em> is a single player, shareware, mountaineering game. The game was released as shareware with just two climbs: Rainier in Washington state USA and Ama Dablam in Nepal. On registration the player received eight additional climbs including Annapurna, Kangchenjunga, and of course Everest itself.</p>
<p>Using photographs of the actual mountains this game is essentially a management game. The player selects a group of climbers, each of which has strengths and weaknesses. They start at the base camp and assign orders to their climbers to proceed to a waypoint carrying supplies. There they may establish another camp, rest, return to base for more supplies before pushing on up the mountain. Supply management is important because undernourished climbers do not perform well and at altitudes over twenty thousand feet all climbers must carry oxygen at all times. In addition there are the usual hazards, such as climbers failing to reach the next camp due to fatigue or lack of motivation, falling rock or ice, falling on steep pitches, avalanches and bad weather.</p>
<p>The game consists of three episodes each of which is composed of multiple climbs which must be completed in order. As climbers complete climbs they grow in strength and willpower which makes them eligible to attempt later climbs.</p>

<p><em>Lost</em> is a single-player, shareware, 3D maze exploration game. In the shareware version of the game there is a single maze to be explored, in the registered version there are five. In each game the player must find and collect five gold coins on each level in order to leave the maze and progress to the next level. In the final level there's also an energy crystal to be found.</p>
<p>The game has basic sound effects, bangs and bleeps when the player finds a coin or runs into a wall, and is played with either the keyboard, mouse, or joystick.</p>

<p><em>Poker Challenge: 7 Card Stud Version</em> is one of a series of poker games by 
<a href="/search/?q=The%C2%A0WorkWare%C2%A0Co.">The WorkWare Co.</a>. This,
<a href="/search/?q=Poker+Challenge:+Texas+Hold'em+Version">Poker Challenge: Texas Hold'em Version</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/35152/vegas-pro-video-poker/">Vegas Pro Video Poker</a> were released as shareware, if the player registered any one game they were sent discs containing all three.</p>

<p><em>Rompe Muros</em> is a very basic breakout game, without additives. In <em>Rompe Muros</em> there aren't power ups or enemies like in Arkanoid or similars. Here the player only finds a paddle, a ball, and a some bricks to break.... Nothing more.</p>
<p>Also, although <em>Rompe Muros</em> is a pretty short game (only 9 stages), it is a game without end. The game is cyclical, so when the player defeat the ninth stage, the game begins again, time after time.</p>

<p><em>Destruction Zone</em> is a shareware tank game for one to three players.</p>
<p>The game is played in an arena with six players, the human player(s) and robot players. It is entirely keyboard controlled and the keys can be redefined. The story behind the game explains that the tanks are made from three large coloured fuel cylinders that grow dimmer as the tank runs out of fuel which neatly accounts for the simple triangular shapes used to represent them.</p>
<p>Games consist of a series of battles, minimum three - maximum ninety-nine, and after every three battles the players get to spend any points they have earned in the shop upgrading their tank. There are five different kinds of tank available in the shop and each tank has seven weapons ports for which there is a wide array of weapons ranging from standard missiles and lasers to the 'death touch' and 'glow shields'.</p>

<p><em>123-Talk</em> is a shareware, single-player, package of educational games whose distinguishing feature is that it provides audio feedback and encouragement to the pupil. </p>
<p>The package consists of the following mini games:* Keyboard Banger 123: When it starts the game paints a pattern on screen using a digit in multiple colours, When the child hits the keyboard the digit is displayed centre screen and the game says 'Try saying this number .......', then the pattern is wiped and a new one is drawn using a new digit.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>123 Song: The numbers one to twenty are shown on screen and a child sings them in sequence.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Your Phone Number Is: This displays a phone number enunciating each digit so that the pupil learns to say the number and to recognise it. In the shareware version this is limited to a single US style number in the form 123-1234. This game also teaches the child the number to dial in an emergency which is fixed as 911. The phone number can be edited in the Parental Control section but the 911 number cannot.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Find the Number Game: The game displays a digit on screen and asks the pupil to find that number on the keyboard.</p>
</li>

<p>Easy Counting Game: The game displays coloured balloons on the screen and asks the pupil 'How Many Balloons?' The pupil answers by pressing the appropriate number on the keyboard and the game asks the same question of a different number of balloons.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Addition Game: The game asks simple sums such as 'What does 3 + 2 make?' The pupil is aided by the display of two groups of balloons, three in one and two in the other. They answer and the game moves on to another question.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Subtraction Game: The same as the Addition Game but these are take-away sums.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Easy Draw II: This is purely for fun. The game area becomes a blackboard and the player can draw on it by holding down the left mouse button and moving the mouse. The right mouse button changes the colour of the chalk.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>All games are played with the mouse. There are simple sound effects and lots of a very supportive, very American lady's voice.</p>

<p>An unlicensed IBM PC translation of the arcade hit - created around the same time as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/141/centipede/">Atarisoft's official PC port</a>. Accordingly, the player controls a gun which can be moved throughout the bottom of a mushroom-littered playfield, and must curb the attacks of assorted pests: the centipede, which traces a path between the mushroom and may be split into segments; the spider, which devours both mushrooms and the player; the flea, which deposits new mushrooms in its wake; and the scorpion which poisons the mushrooms, sending the centipede links into free-fall on contact.</p>
<p>One or two players may participate, and the selectable skill level adjusts the speed of the game.</p>

<p>An adaptation of the traditional card game, for one player against a computer rival, where each side attempts to beat the opponent to the goal of 121 points.</p>
<p>To start with, the deck is cut and the lowest card determine who deals first.  Each side receives six cards, discards two to the crib, then both take turns playing their hand to the board - attempting to score by bringing the total value to 15 or 31, and by completing certain card combinations that score additional points. "Go" is called if no cards can be played without going over a total of 31, and the attempt is transferred to the opponent; the last player to place a card gets an additional point.</p>
<p>When all cards have been played, both hands are scored according to their contents and special combinations, and the score for the crib goes to its owner (each side gets the crib on alternating turns).  A new round begins, and so on until one of the players hits a total 121 or above - winning the game.</p>

<p>Your craft: an F-16, complete with 7 air-to-ground missiles and 300 fuel units.  Your mission: go on a sortie over hostile territory and destroy enemy installations, by launching your missiles directly above target.  The action is controlled from a non-scrolling side view; each sector contains an assortment of targets, obstacles and traps.  You can clear a sector instantly by engaging your thruster, although this gulps down quite an amount of fuel.</p>
<p>Ammo and fuel may be replenished at the floating resupply depots.  Run out of gas, or collide with anything at all, and your fighter will crash and burn - you only get two lives to rack up as many points as you can.</p>

<p>Not to be confused with similarly-named games (like the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/726/sdi/">Cinemaware title</a> or the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/18232/sdi-strategic-defense-initiative/">Sega/Activision one</a>), <em>SDI</em> is a shooter in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9177/missile-command/">Missile Command</a>. The player controls a single American SDI satellite, and must protect the USA from a succession of Soviet attack waves, by zapping incoming missiles before the nuclear warheads connect with their targets.</p>
<p>The action is viewed from orbit, as enemy missiles are launched from multiple locations (including a bomber, which may be destroyed); they target population centers, military installations, and the satellite itself. After each wave, a score bonus is awarded for cities saved, and a penalty for cities destroyed. The number of surviving missile bases affects the USA's ability to retaliate, and the player's performance will determine the post-war scenario.</p>

<p><em>Backgammon</em> is a single player, shareware, backgammon game that is played against the computer.   </p>
<p>It is entirely keyboard controlled and has no sound. It includes both a history of the game, a section on the game's rules, and detailed instructions</p>

<p><em>Breakout !</em> is an early version of the classic brick breaking game.</p>
<p>Basically this game is like all the others, the player has five balls and must keep them in play by moving a paddle along the bottom of the screen. The ball(s) bounce around the screen destroying bricks that they hit and thus the player scores points.</p>
<p>This game was designed to be used with a mouse, though a keyboard can be used if necessary, and it does have some unusual features. The game area is split into two sections and the game starts with the mouse positioned over the right hand window where the menu options are. As soon as the player clicks on START control switches to the left hand area where the game is played and moving the mouse left &amp; right now moves the panel. Any further click of the mouse switches control back to the menu. 
- This can be played as a multiplayer game. When the game loads it asks for the number of players and there is no upper limit other that what can be supported by the machine's memory. In preparing this submission a game was played with forty four players but the game documentation claims that a machine with 640K of memory should be able to support 'well over three hundred and fifty players'.
- During the game the player can swap to the menu section and PASS. This means their game is put on hold and the next player can take their turn, when the first player's turn comes around again their game continues from the point where they left off.
- There are no fancy arrangements of bricks in this game and no power-ups, just a plain wall. When a player breaks through the wall, and their ball starts bouncing between the back wall and the last row of bricks, the game enters 'expert mode' which means the ball moves faster and the paddle shrinks.
- The menu area has a QUIT button, however this does not stop the game it just stops the game for that player so when playing a multiplayer game each player must QUIT individually if they want the game to display the end of game scores.</p>
<p>There are no in-game configuration options but, as was common at the time, the developer did provide some command line options that affect the gameplay.* The machine was written on a ZENITH Z200 system which the developer says "is approximately equal to a 8MHz PC/AT" so a command line switch that will cater for both faster and slower machines.</p>
<ul>
<li>There is another command line option to disable the sound made when a ball hits a brick</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Triskelion</em> is a single player freeware puzzle game.</p>
<p>Triskelion is a genetic word for any device or motif which has three symbols that share a common centre. This can be curved arms, or legs in the case of the symbol common to the Isle of Man (UK). In this case it is three overlapping circles. Each circle is comprised of squares, called marbles in the documentation. Each marble has its own colour (blue, green and red). A fourth colour (yellow) is used for the centre of the design where all three circles overlap. The object of the puzzle is to find a way to rotate all the yellow segments out of the central area and replace them with another single colour.</p>
<p>The game is entirely controlled by the keyboard and has no sound and no save/load feature.</p>

<p><em>EGAWHEEL</em> is a wheel of fortune, shareware game for one to three players. It was developed by <a href="/search/?q=Russell%C2%A0R.%C2%A0Mueller">Russell Mueller</a> who later used this game as a basis for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/62420/vgawheel/">VGAWHEEL</a> which uses a different graphical standard.</p>
<p>The gameplay follows the format of the famous television game as it was in the autumn/fall of 1987 when the buying of prizes after each round was dropped from the show. The only major difference between this game and the show at that time is that the game has no bonus round.</p>
<p>The game is played over five rounds. In each round the player(s) is/are presented with words which can be a phrase, a name or a thing. All the letters are blanked out and the players take turns in guessing which letters could be part of the hidden word(s). Within their turn a player may spin the eponymous 'Wheel of Fortune' to guess a consonant, buy a vowel or guess the word. If the player guesses a consonant correctly then their score is increased by the number of times that letter occurs multiplied by the amount shown on the wheel.</p>
<p>Rounds one and two are easier because they have FREE SPIN segments which the player can use to retain control of the wheel should they guess a consonant that does not appear, later rounds are harder because though the values on the wheel are higher the FREE SPIN segments are replaced with BANKRUPT segments.</p>
<p>This shareware game has eight hundred and fifty puzzles and comes an editor that allows the player to add their own puzzles, alternatively a puzzle disc with a further five hundred puzzles could be bought.</p>

<p><em>Osbit</em> is a single-player, freeware, keyboard controlled, runny jumpy platform game. Osbit is an operating system bit who lives inside a computer. After a power surge struck the computer Osbit found himself a long way from home and must now fight his way, the power surge released nasty bugs, through the three levels of corrupted areas of DOS back to the A-prompt and home.</p>

<p><em>Lazer Beam Wars</em> is a single-player game that plays much like a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tron">Tron</a> clone.</p>
<p>The player and the PC start off with a different coloured light beam each, one on either side of the screen. The object is to enclose the PC opponent within an area bounded by player's light beam and, as it is not possible for one beam to make contact with any other light source, the opponent will eventually run out of space and die. Scattered around the game area are planets and dots contact with any of these is also fatal, the dots are either stars or space dust it does not matter which but what does matter is that their number increases as the game progresses.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled and has five levels of difficulty.</p>

<p><em>The Game of Yahtzee</em> is an implementation of the classic dice game for between one and five players, there is no computer opponent. </p>
<p>The game plays and scores like any game of Yahtzee. It is entirely keyboard controlled so if a player rolls 5-5-5-1-2 and wants to try for a Yahtzee in 5's they enter 1 2 as the dice to re-roll. Each scoring opportunity is denoted by a letter so when the player's turn is done they nominate a category such as fives, full house, three of a kind etc by selecting the appropriate letter.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Gin Rummy</em> is a single-player card game in which the player plays against the computer. </p>
<p>Gin Rummy is a popular card came in which the player's are dealt ten cards each. Put simply the object of the game is to make sets of cards of the same rank or runs of cards in the same suit. Players alternately take a new card from either the deck or the discard pile into their hand. If it does not fit it is discarded, if it improves the hand it is retained and another card is discarded. The player who is able to dispose of all of their cards wins the hand and scores points, the first to score a predetermined number of points wins the game.</p>
<p>In addition to the Standard game this implementation has two optional Gin Rummy variations, Oklahoma also known as Cedarhurst, and Tommy's Space Cowboy Gin both of which change the points needed to 'knock'. </p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled, it has some basic sound effects and a demo mode in which the game plays itself. It has command line switches to start with the sound off, force monochrome mode, and another to force colour mode.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Wheel of Misfortune</em> is a wheel of fortune, shareware game. It can be played by one player on their own or by a group of two to six players.</p>
<p>The game is based on the format of the famous television game. The game consists of between three and six, depending on the number of players, plus a bonus round. In each round the player(s) are presented with words which can be a phrase, a name or a thing. All the letters are blanked out and they take turns in guessing which letters could be part of the hidden word(s). Within their turn a player may spin the wheel to guess a consonant, buy a vowel or guess the word. If the player guesses a consonant correctly then their score is increased by the number of times that letter occurs multiplied by the amount shown on the wheel. At the end of the regular rounds there is a bonus round where the player with the highest score chooses five consonants and a vowel at which point they have twenty seconds to guess the phrase for a grand prize of twenty-five thousand dollars.</p>
<p>The game has a number of variations to standard play;* 'Hurry Up' mode where the computer spins the wheel to determine the value of the letters and all players take turns to guess a single letter without spinning the wheel at their turn.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Cheaters Mode. This displays the letters that haven't been guessed beneath the target phrase. F8 toggles this mode on/off and the game starts in this mode because, as the documentation says, '... most people cheat'.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Wheel Of Fortune mode. This option changes the game to a more conventional, softer, game. The main differences being that if a player guesses incorrectly their earnings are not reduced and there is a house minimum of two hundred dollars per round.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>There are also command line switches to start the game without sound, force a colour display and another to force a monochrome display.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The game contains over twelve hundred phrases and a further twelve thousand could be purchased from the developer, these came with over a dozen variations on the standard game together with an editor so that player(s) could create their own phrase data bases.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Trek</em> is a variant on an old classic. This is a single-player, keyboard controlled game with basic sound, bleeps and whistles. The game has one unusual feature, an autoplay mode. It starts in this mode and plays by itself until the player intervenes and take's over. There are nine difficulty level settings.</p>
<p>The game itself is similar to many others in this genre. Each sector of the universe is an 8x8 grid containing stars, starbases, and Klingon starships. Within this sector you can navigate to any point on the grid with impulse engines, or venture to a new sector using Warp engines. Your ship is equipped with phasers, torpedos and space mines to help defend yourself, and both long and short range scanners to assess the nearby threats and nearby sectors. Starbases are necessary for restocking the Enterprise. </p>
<p>The Klingons will, of course, fight back. When they do it is likely that the Enterprise will suffer damage and this will affect it's ability to fight and/or run away, for example if the short range scanner is damaged the Enterprise will not be able to see the enemy, if the phaser control is damaged most attempts to fire phasers will fail etc.</p>
<p>Other hazards in space are random black holes which suck everything in and spit it out in a random location, and cloaked Klingons. Occasionally starbases come under attack and the Enterprise must warp to their location and destroy the attackers if the base and resupply point is not to be lost.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Crosswords</em> is a single-player crossword game.</p>
<p>This game comes with thirty-nine pre-made crosswords and an editor so that players can create and share their own puzzles. In Solution mode it has two cheat modes, one gives the player the current letter, as indicated by the cursor, and the other gives the entire word. In Creation mode there's an optional encryption feature to prevent others cheating.</p>
<p>There are also two command line switches one to force a colour display and another to force a monochrome display.</p>

<p><em>Triclops Invasion</em> is an early 3D space combat game that was originally developed for the QNX operating system.</p>
<p>The solar system has bee invaded by the Triclops who parachute their giant walkers down to Earth. The only way to destroy a walker is to shoot off one of its three legs but as it has a cannon turret on its top the game's documentation suggests that destroying that first could be a good strategy. Once all five walkers and their satellite the game is won, if the Triclops destroy all three of the player's ships the Earth is lost.</p>
<p>The game also allows the player to record demo versions of the way they played the game and to turn off the enemy walkers so that they can just fly over the landscape</p>

<p><em>Maximus</em> is a single-player, shareware, empire building game set in the days of the Roman empire.</p>
<p>The game documentation says that this is a hybrid game part war game, part trading game, part role-playing adventure. The player takes the role of a Roman Quaestor who runs a city and has troops under their command. They must trade, construct buildings, build up their power base and their army and conquer twenty cities bringing them into the Roman empire. </p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled. It has a save/load feature but no sound and no animated graphics.</p>

<p><em>Mnemonic</em> is a simple game of Concentration that was designed for use as a BBS door game. The game is played on a 4x4 grid and is entirely keyboard controlled.</p>

<p><em>Blasten !</em> is a single player, shareware, monochrome Asteroids clone.</p>
<p>The game gives the player three ships with which to destroy all meteors and comets that threaten space traffic. It is keyboard controlled and the action keys can be redefined.<br>
This game differs from many in the genre in that ammunition is not unlimited. Each ship starts with two hundred units of energy, firing the laser costs ten units, firing a missile costs one unit. A ship in good condition can absorb additional energy from a comet while a damaged one will be destroyed by it.<br>
The game can be configured by answering questions as it starts up:* The ship can be magnetic - i.e. it will attract meteors</p>
<ul>
<li>It can bounce off the walls around the edge of the screen or it can fly off one edge and reappear on the opposite side</li>
<li>Sound effects are optional</li>
<li>Game speed can be affected by selecting one of four machine types</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Backroad Racers</em> is basically the same game as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10193/european-racers/">European Racers</a> with a different scenario. As in the predecessor, the four cars ( '67 Chevelle, '71 Hemi 'Cuda, '67 Malibu SS Pro and '70 Boss 302 Mustang) and their parts can be viewed and disassembled in a CAD-like program option. There are also possibilities for slight modifications, e.g. adding nitro.</p>
<p>Those cars can then be used to race on on the four courses (forest, mountains, beach or bayou) against a distinctive opponent, e.g. a surfer dude. The courses mostly consist of straight roads and sharp curves and require the player to drive fast - however, there are speed traps which should be avoided. One addition is the need to visit garages in order to repair damages. Depending on what happens, the player may get to watch real-live video clips of cops or other persons which are mostly identical to the predecessor's. </p>
<p>Also included are promotional videos about the cars and a model kit for the Boss 302 Mustang.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Space Panels</em> is a single player puzzle. </p>
<p>This is an odd, surreal sort of game and may in fact not be a game at all. The player is presented with a series of screens, each one activated by a different numeric key. Each screen is said to represent a control panel from an alien space ship and comes complete with bleeps and flashing bits. That's it! The game's documentation says, "Sorry, but you'll have to figure out the controls all by yourself (try hitting keys and see what happens)".</p>
<p>The game has a Demo mode where it plays all by itself and command line parameters that force either a colour or a monochrome display.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Twenty-One</em> is a single player blackjack game. It is entirely keyboard controlled and features four variations of the game:* Blackjack also known as American Twenty-One</p>

<p>The game features:* A demo mode where the game plays itself</p>
<ul>
<li>A speed control which shortens the time the on-screen messages are displayed</li>

<li>Tic-Tac-Toe (Hollywood Squares Style): This is a match of five games where the first player to win three games wins the match. The format is based on the TV show 'Hollywood Squares', Celebrity Squares in the UK, where if a player answers their question correctly they win the square, otherwise the square is awarded to their opponent.</li>
</ul>
<p>The game has two thousand five hundred questions and a further eleven thousand questions were available for purchase in <em>Tommy's Trivia Pak</em>.</p>
<p>The game has command line switches to play in monochrome or colour mode and to start the game without sound.</p>

<p>The game has all the standard features that would be expected, automatic save state on exit, a short game mode as well as a super short game mode, and a time limit function. The game also has a speed control which allows the player(s) to adjust the time the on-screen messages are displayed thus potentially making the game faster. Unusually it also has a demo mode and a pitch control that adjusts the frequency of the sound the dice make when rolling.</p>

<p><em>Eat'em II</em> is a single player, Pac-Man like game.</p>
<p>As with Pac-Man the player navigates a maze eating food to score points and they are chased by ghosts. Unlike Pac-Man the maze is much larger and extends beyond the screen in all directions. Another twist is that instead of eating a power pill and then being able to chase down and eat the ghosts as in Pac Man, in this game the power pill gives the player the chance to shoot their enemies.</p>

<p><em>PC Jigsaw</em> is a single player, shareware jigsaw puzzle game.</p>
<p>The game does not cut interlocking pieces as modern games do, instead it divides the picture into rectangles and shuffles them. The shareware version 1.1 of game comes with four pictures and four levels of difficulty:* a kids level which breaks the picture into a 3x3 grid (this was new in version 1.1)</p>
<ul>
<li>a novice level which uses a 4x4 grid</li>

<li>an expert level which uses a 7x7 grid</li>
</ul>
<p>Pieces are moved with the mouse or the keyboard, the player uses either method to select one piece then they select another and the two pieces swap their positions. At the end of a puzzle the game gives the player a rating from BAD to A+.</p>
<p>Upon registration of the shareware version the purchaser was sent two discs with additional images together with the latest version of <em>PC Jigsaw</em>.</p>

<p><em>1998 Amerika</em> is a shareware game similar to Risk but instead of using a map of the world and fighting for countries, this game uses a map of America and the battles are for states. Though this game is based on Risk it does not adhere to the rules of that game, for example when a player wins a battle they win propaganda cards which can be traded for armies.</p>

<p><em>Atomic Tetris</em> is a two player Tetris game, it is not meant to be played by one player vs the computer.</p>
<p>The game is played side by side with both players sharing the keyboard. It is basically plays the same as standard Tetris, blocks fall, lines across the screen must be completed to score points etc. There is, however a twist in that there are power bricks, called Specials within the game, which, when included in a completed line, can cause the opponent problems. There are thirteen Specials in the game and their effects range from clearing the screen, switching the screens over, randomising the opponents screen to changing all the opponents bricks into small dots making them hard to see.</p>

<p><em>Fallout</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled, tile matching game.</p>
<p>Blocks fall from the top of the screen. They are always three coloured bricks long and the object of the game is to create horizontal, vertical or diagonal strings, of the same coloured brick that are three or more bricks on length. Such strings explode and disappear scoring the player points and causing the blocks above to drop down to fill any vacant slots. Occasionally the falling bock contains a bomb that can be used to blow up nearby bricks.</p>
<p>There is sound and a boss key and a high score table.</p>

<p><em>Bandor: The Search For The Storm Giant King</em> is a single player, shareware, role playing game. It is the first game in a trilogy of games centred around the city of Bandor, the other games being

<p>Bandor is a small, well ordered city in the land of Galia. To the south is the Mist Forest where lies the Fountain of Life, to the east are the slums, also called the Underworld. In the centre of the city are the twin towers where the Council of the High Lords meets. Here an adventurer can meet with the Lord Regent who assigns tasks and quests. Also within the city are masters of combat who can provide training, armourers, and a tavern where players can rest, hear gossip and gamble in the hope of increasing their wealth. There is a great temple to the P'Tah the allowed religion, there is another religion that of B'Nah but that has been banned though there are rumours it is still practiced in the slums. However, all is not well. There have been sightings of unnatural beats within the slums. There are even rumours that the Storm Giant King is in there somewhere gathering his forces... </p>
<p>The game starts with the Wizard Osi welcoming the player and telling them about creatures in the slums and that they have been sighted in the Forest of the Fountain of Life. He tasks the player with clearing the forest and becoming a Hero of Bandor. The player must then create the characters they need to form their party, at least four will be needed, and they can be Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Half Elves or Half Dwarves. There is also a choice of six professions, Friar, Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Thief, and Jack of all trades. <br>
Once characters have been created and assigned to the party it's off to explore. There is no need to keep a paper and pen handy to draw a map as the game progresses because Bandor is a self-mapping game.</p>
<p>The game is played with the mouse, it has optional sound and digitised speech.</p>

<p><em>Trivial Trek</em> is a single player quiz based on Star Trek.</p>
<p>It contains sections with questions on the original TV series, the Movies, Star Trek Literature as well as a general section. It has sound, a high score table, and an option to change the colour if the screen and text.</p>

<p><em>Trivia 2000</em> is a shareware game based on Trivial Pursuit.</p>
<p>When a round begins the game simulates the roll of the dice after which it checks forwards and backwards from the players position and determines which way they should move. Having 'moved' the player the game then announces the category and asks the question. Questions are answered in the normal way by typing in the answer using the standard keys.</p>
<p>Two things make this game different to other implementations of Trivial Pursuit, the first being that there is no representation of the game board and the other is that the game's menu options are selected via the function keys. The game has a save/load function which in game parlance is referred to as freeze/unfreeze.</p>
<p>A second edition of this game was produced, it had questions on People &amp; Music but no changes in gameplay.</p>

<p><em>Zottris</em> is a single player, shareware, falling block game.</p>
<p>Square blocks fall from the top of the screen to the bottom. When they hit the bottom of the screen the player can destroy them but they cannot be destroyed in flight. Destroying blocks costs the player Zot points which can only be replenished by generating a row of the same colour bricks which disappear and score the player points. As the player's point total increases they advance to another level, the gameplay remains the same but the background colour changes and the blocks appear and fall at a faster rate. The game ends when the bricks reach the top of the screen.</p>
<p>The game has optional sound but has no save/load or high score functions.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Connecting Point</em> is a word association game. It may be played by one person playing against themselves or by two or four people.</p>
<p>The game is based on free association word chains, similar to the UK party game Tennis-Elbow-Foot, where there is a connection between the words one and two and between words two and three but not necessarily between word one and three or any other in the chain.</p>
<p>In this implementation the word chain consists of seven words, with words one and seven supplied. The objective being to guess the intervening five words. Players take turns and may either opt to guess a word or pass the opportunity to their opponents. They also get to nominate which word their opponent will have to guess, the top most or the bottom-most word on the guess list. The game starts by giving the initial letter and the player attempts to complete the word within fifteen seconds. If they are successful then they win the points, or in this case virtual dollars. If not, then it becomes the other teams turn and so-on until the ladder is complete.</p>
<p>There will naturally be numerous attempts at guessing a word and each time the game will reveal one more letter but it will never reveal the full word, the last letter will always remain hidden. A match consists of three rounds. At the end of round two the leading team gets to play a missing link round. At the end of a match the wining team gets to play a bonus round against the clock.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Cryptoquips</em> is a shareware code breaking game that is based on the 'Cryptograms' that are popular in some newspapers and puzzle books.</p>
<p>The game displays a quotation that has been encrypted by a form of letter substitution code, and the player's task is to decode it. It can be played as a single player game or as a team game for two to six players. Every quotation comes with at least one letter decoded.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled. It has a demo mode which displays coded quotations but does not attempt to solve them, basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Calabresella</em> is a shareware, single player, trick-taking card game, in real life this is a game for three players but in this implementation the player takes one seat, north and the computer pays the other two. The game is also known as Terziglio, it is Italian in origin and it is said to have been popular among the priesthood.</p>
<p>Detailed rules of the game are contained within the game and are freely available on the internet. In summary the game is played with a standard fifty-two card deck from which all the eights, nines and tens have been removed. Players bid to be the soloist and then play the hand, there are no trumps in this game. The soloist must make at least eighteen points, if they do then they score one point and additional points for any points they score over the eighteen mark. If they fail then the opponents both score the deficit. <br>
The game ends when one player exceeds a predefined total, in this implementation that can be any number between fifty and nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine points, or pips as they are called in this game. </p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display. In addition it has the following options:* a demo mode where the game plays all by itself</p>

Players are dealt eleven cards each with three being held back so that not all cards are in play.  </p>
<p>Players bid to be the soloist and then play the hand. There are just six possible bids, each bid being progressively harder than the previous one, they are:* Solo - bidding to win sixty pips, trumps cannot be hearts</p>
<ul>
<li>Heart - same as Solo but hearts are trumps</li>
<li>Misere - playing without trumps and bidding to get no tricks</li>
<li>Guarantee - bidding to win eighty points, or just seventy-four if hearts are trumps</li>

<p><em>Slime</em> is an adaptation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/69188/ataxx/">Ataxx</a>. This board game takes place on a 7x7 square board, with both players starting with two pawns in the opposite corners. Each turn, a player can move one of his pawn two spaces away, or clone a pawn onto an adjacent square. Putting a pawn next to an opponent's pawns converts them to the player's pawns. The game is finished when one of the players has no more pawns, or when the board is filled completely, at which point the player with more pawns wins. Some squares on the board are blocked and inaccessible to either player; their layout in each game is chosen randomly. There is a 20 second limit for the human players to move. </p>
<p>The game offers both human-vs-human and human-vs-computer (with three difficulty levels) play, as well as the option to pit two computer players against each other. During the game the player can pass a turn (up to five times), or ask the computer for a hint as to which pawn should he move next.</p>

<p><em>Toho Academy Adventure</em> is a single-player, text adventure game. </p>
<p>This is one of a series of games based on the <em>Toho Academy</em> stories by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/662499/simon-barber/">Simon Barber</a>. The Academy stories are set in a future universe and its pupils are all highly developed animals who use serious weaponry and magic to defend the world against Lovecraftian invaders, the invaders being mutated plushie toys.</p>
<p>The player takes the role of a half-sheep or as the game describes you '<em>a tall slender ovine girl with fine white wool and ample charms</em>'. After a night out partying with other students you wake up to find you're late for your first day at the academy, not a good start. There's no-one around, did you hear sirens a while back, and the power is off as you run to class in the early morning light.</p>
<p>The academy is on an island and is populated by many creatures, some friendly and some definitely hostile. Enemies when they are encountered must be fought, for each enemy there is a specific weapon, for example the Chaos Kare Bare is vanquished with Plush Solvent, but one weapon may still kill several different foes. In the original version there are one hundred and thirty two locations and a maximum of two hundred and seventy eight points to be scored. There is a later version, improved version, which has among other improvements updated text, and a VIEW command with artwork, this version has one hundred and fifty nine locations and a high score of three hundred and thirty three points.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled, naturally, and was developed using The Adventure Game Toolkit (v1.5). There is a save / load game function which is especially useful as there are many monsters to fight and lots of interesting and novel ways to die.</p>

<p><em>The Multi-dimensional Thief</em> is a single-player, keyboard controlled, interactive fiction game. It was developed with the aid of The Adventure Game Toolkit and it has no graphics. </p>
<p>The story is that you play a thief. A good thief but not one who has attained membership of the Multi-Dimensional Thieves Guild, at least not yet. One day a stranger approached you and offered you membership of the aforementioned august body but you had to pass a test. Joy of joys! This is what you have dreamed of throughout your professional career! Naturally you accept.  </p>
<p>The test is that you are to be paced in a special set of rooms that don't actually exist in the same place, they have been 'borrowed'' from other universes and glued together with magic. All you have to do is find your way out. The purpose of the test is, apparently, not to test your talents as a thief as these are known and if you were no good they would not made this offer, no it is to test other qualities such as your ability to deal with changing environments.</p>
<p>So the game begins. Playing it will take the player to heaven, hell, the land of Oz (appropriate since the developer is Australian), temples, English forests and more besides. The 1991 version of the game features one hundred locations and has a high score of fifty points though it is possible to complete the game without visiting every location and/or scoring maximum points.</p>

<p><em>Meltdown</em> is a single-player adventure game.</p>
<p>Sometime in the future mankind sets up a base on Mars where this adventure is based. There has been an accident with the nuclear reactor that powers the base. If the reactor explodes it will poison the planet and make it uninhabitable. The player takes the role of Fred Astro, a specialist in nuclear disasters, and it is your task to prevent this and you only have two hours in which to do it!  </p>
<p>Radiation levels are high and in some places they are fatal. Luckily, somewhere on the base is a prototype radiation proof droid, Beta 23, who you can control.</p>
<p>The game is controlled either via the keyboard or the mouse, it has three hundred different locations so the documentation recommends making a map as the game is explored. The player can swap characters to control either Fred Astro or Beta 23 but both have limitations, Fred cannot tolerate radiation levels above three hundred, Beta 23 needs battery power and cannot carry anything. There is a save/load feature and a high score table.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Euchre</em> is a shareware card game for one to four players, if less than four players participate the computer plays the remaining positions.</p>
<p>This implementation of Euchre is played with the ace, king, queen, jack ten and nine of each suit giving a deck of just twenty-four cards though the game does provide for the optional addition of a Joker. After the deal the players bid for the chance to play, they may play with their partner or they may play alone, whichever the option the points scored are awarded to the partnership.   </p>
<p>The object of the game is to win at least three tricks to score points. If a partnership or player fails to make their bid contract penalty points are awarded to the opposition. Play ends when one side scores a predetermined number of points, set between five and ten by the player(s) before the game starts.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Fan Tan</em> is a shareware card game for three to eight players, if less than three players participate the computer plays the remaining positions so that at least three players are in the game.</p>
<p>This version of the game contains the original game plus the Sevens/Parliament, Five or Nine, Pay or Play variants. The game is played with a standard deck but in Fan Tan the Ace counts as the lowest card in the deck. It is played for chips and continues until only one player has some chips left, naturally that player is the winner.  </p>
<p>The whole pack is dealt out, so some players have one more card than others and, briefly, the games are played as follows:* Sevens: The 7 card is the foundation card for any suit. Once a seven has been played the six and eight of that suit can be played building up a sequence to the king and another down to the ace.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Five or Nine: The first card laid must be a five or a nine of a suit, after that play continues as described in Sevens</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Pay or Play: The first player leads any card. The next player in turn must play the next higher card in that suit or pass. In this variant the suits 'wrap around' so when a king is played the next cards in the sequence are the ace followed by the two. When a suit is exhausted the player who played the last card starts a new suit, again playing any card.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Original Fan Tan: The first lead can be any card and this fixes the foundation card for all other suits which are built up/down in sequence as described in Sevens</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Space Farmer</em> is a shareware card game in which the player plays against six AI opponents, the Earth game this is based on is for two to eight players but this is the version played in space by aliens.</p>
<p>The game is played with a standard deck of cards from which all the eights and three of the four sixes have been removed, the six of hearts remains. The game plays a bit like blackjack with the aim being to draw cards to the value of sixteen. It is played for chips and the pot is called 'The Farm' and the dealer is known as 'The Farmer'. At the end of a round the player's cards are revealed. Anyone with a spot count of sixteen wins, if there is a tie then there are rules to decide who should take the farm. There are additional rules that award chips in special circumstances, for example, any player whose hand count exceeds sixteen must pay 'The Farmer'.</p>
<p>It's a sad fact that, in space where this game is played by aliens, not all aliens are honest and some of them cheat. To replicate the fun that this can bring to the game there is an optional CHEAT function. When enabled the AI opponents may cheat and the player can challenge them. If the challenge is successful the AI player is zapped and the remaining players share it's stack. However the player challenges someone when they were not cheating then they get zapped and the game ends.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Global Thermonuclear War</em> is a shareware, single-player game based on global warfare. It is played against the computer.</p>
<p>The player can play either as the USA or the USSR. Both the player and the computer start with a list of twenty cities each of which is numbered. By typing Mxx the player launches a missile at one of the opponents cities, the computer is naturally doing the same. The screen shows the cities that have been targeted and the estimated time to impact and to avoid losing a city the player can launch an anti-missile missile by typing Axx where xx is the number of the targeted city. Anti missiles can only be launched when the incoming missile is five seconds away which leads to some feverish typing and each city is allowed just three of them.</p>
<p>The object of the game is to destroy the opponent's cities while suffering no losses of your own which is nigh on impossible.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Hanoi</em>  is a shareware puzzle game based on the classic 'Tower Of Hanoi'. The object is to move all the discs from one tower to another with just two restrictions:* that only one disc can be moved at a time,</p>
<ul>
<li>a larger disc cannot be placed on a smaller disc.</li>
</ul>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled and the player can select the number of discs they want to play with, between three and nine (inclusive). It has basic sound effects, a demo mode, and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Whist</em> is a shareware, single-player version of partnership whist. This is a game for four players, two teams of two, the player plays as the north chair and the computer plays the other three hands. </p>
<p>This is a trick taking game that is played with a standard fifty-two card deck. A match consists of a series of games. Any partnership scoring more than seven tricks scores game points for each additional trick and winning a game scores the winning pair match points. The game has many options that can be used to customise game play, these include:* A game ends when one team scored xx game points where xx is between five and ninety-nine</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>A match ends when a partnership has scored cored xx match points where xx is between eight and nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Partnerships that win a game will score honours points if they have three of four of the Ace, King, Queen and Jack of the trump suit. Honours points can be disabled</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Trumps can be determined by the last card dealt, selected randomly by the computer, announced by the first player to play a card, or the game can be played without trumps</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>There's an option to replay a hand</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Tommy's Hidden-Word</em> is a single-player, shareware, word search game.</p>
<p>The basic idea is to find words 'hidden' within a grid. The words and phrases all share a common theme and vary in length, in the phrase list they may contain numbers, spaces and/or punctuation all of which is removed when the word/phrase Is transferred into the search grid. The minimum length of a word in the grid is two characters and the maximum is eighteen. There are fifty different puzzle categories to choose from, each category contains more words than are needed for a single puzzle meaning that the same category can be selected multiple times and the player will probably get a different word list each time. There and nine variations of word search puzzle in this game, these are:  </p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>words are in a straight line, they do not overlap with each other, they do not run off one edge and reappear back on the other side</p>
</li>
<li>

<p><em>Tommy's Tyrants</em> is a shareware wargame for two people. There is no computer opponent in this game, all the CPU does is keep score and referee. It is played on a world map that is 127x127 cells wide but does not use the hexagonal grid system that is commonplace in this genre. Both players start with the same sized forces but captured cities can build more airships, and ships as well as train troops. </p>
<p>Each cell may hold land(shaded brown), sea (shaded blue), a troop unit, an air ship, a sea ship or a city. Cities can be held by either player in which case they are represented by a letter or they can be represented by a white square with a hole in it to show they are free. A cell holding a city can also hold an unlimited number of airships and troop units.</p>
<p>Troop movement is by governed by rolling dice. For each player's turn the computer rolls the dice, the player then nominates a unit by selecting it with the cursor and then selecting the destination cell in the same way.</p>
<p>The game uses a reduced rule set compared to heavyweight wargames, for example troops that are adjacent to each other will engage automatically and they each get to fire one shot with a one in thirty-two chance of success with no variation based on experience, weaponry, armour etc. Similar rules, but different odds, govern the interaction between all possible combinations of troops, airships, and ships.</p>
<p>A game ends when one player has all the cities and more troops than the other, or has all the troops, or when the number of moves made exceeds thirty-two thousand seven hundred and sixty seven.</p>

<p>The game automatically uses the Stayman and Blackwood conventions, shutout bids and a weak no-trump overcall.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled. It has options to play 'Open Handed' i.e with all cards visible, a cheat option that allows the game to look at the player's cards, and an autoplay option that lets the game finish playing a hand. It also has optional, basic sound effects.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Trash!</em> is a shareware dice game. It is based on the game Zilch, is played with six dice, and up to nine people including the computer can play. This implementation also contains 'Tommy's Mutant Trash' a two player variant of the game where the player plays against the computer and a Rotary Club mode where the object is to achieve the lowest score.</p>
<p>A game can be for five thousand, ten thousand or fifteen thousand points and the dice combinations that score will vary depending on the kind of game being played. At its simplest a player rolls the dice, technically called 'throwing a trash', and if they score they can roll again, and again. Repeated throws build up their 'turn score' which they can lose completely if they roll and fail to score anything. The game has detailed help files which explain the many options and strategies</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Think II</em> is a single-player, shareware, word puzzle game.</p>
<p>The game contains a dictionary of over fifty thousand American words. The player sets a difficulty level between one and nine.

The player has five minutes to enter as many words as possible using just the letters of the target word.  </p>

<p>It is played with a standard fifty-two card deck. After the deal there is an auction in which players bid on who can win the most points, that's points not tricks, in the trick playing phase. <br>
Briefly, the player who names the highest bid names trumps and plays the first card. in this game it is not the number of tricks that counts but the cards contained in the tricks that count, points are scored for winning tricks with the highest and lowest trumps, the jack of trumps and the highest total of cards where Ace counts four, King counts three, Queen counts two, Jack counts one and Ten counts ten.

<p><em>Tommy's Oh Hell</em> is a shareware card game for one to seven players. Three is the minimum number of players needed for a game and the computer will play as any number of players to make a game possible.</p>
<p>Briefly <em>Oh Hell</em> is a trick taking game in which players bid or nominate how many tricks they will make. Players score for making exactly the number of tricks they bid in which case they score one point per trick and a ten point bonus. Play continues for a specified number of hands rather than until a player achieves a specified number of points. The number of hands in a game varies with the number of players, the first deal starts wit one card per player, the second two and so on, the game stops when there aren't enough cards to go round. <em>Oh Hell</em> has been around for a while and has many variations, those implemented in this variation are:* Zero Contract Option: A player bidding to take zero tricks and achieving this scores five points plus one point for each card in their hand</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Simultaneous Bidding: The game can emulate this as knowing what other players have bid is a distinct advantage</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Uneven Bids: If bids are made sequentially, i.e. they are not simultaneous, then the game can ensure that the total number of bid tricks does not equal the number of cards dealt.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Up The River, Down The River: The first deal is one card per player, the second deal is two cards per player and so on until there are not enough cards left to deal another complete round. Then the process is reversed dealing one card less to each player so that the game ends with a round of one card per player.</p>

<p><em>Minerva II Shareware CD Rom</em> is one in a series of UK shareware compilation CDs.</p>
<p>At the time this CD was produced the internet was developed but it was still strange and new and a bit scary. It was also expensive as users paid for their internet access by the minute via their phone bill and modem speeds were very slow. This created a niche market bringing the internet to people on a CD which companies like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/18131/software-2010-llc/">Software 2010</a> did successfully in the US. </p>
<p>This disc contains files dates between 1980 and 1992 with just one file dated 1993. The majority of files, over six and a half thousand, are archived in .arj format with less than thirty using the .zip extension so common today.</p>
<p>With the CD inserted the user swaps to the drive and enters 'GO', this brings up the menu and with it the file base viewer. The CD contains all kinds of software and utilities in one hundred and five separate categories, here the user will find everything from a pilots log book to a dentists assistant, from bible studies to word processing and, of course, games for both Bulletin Boards, DOS and Windows 3.

<p><em>Tommy's Double L</em> is a shareware, single-player, puzzle / strategy game for one player vs the computer.</p>
<p>This game is based on a puzzle devised by Edward De Bono in his book "The Five Day Course In Thinking". It is a puzzle / strategy game which is played on a 4x4 grid. Each player has an 'L' shaped piece that is 3 cells long and 2 cells wide and there are also two Jammers which occupy a single cell. Players take turns and in each turn they must move their piece and optionally one or both jammers. The game ends when a player cannot move when their turn comes around.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Nim</em> is a shareware, single-player, puzzle / strategy game for one player vs the computer.</p>
<p>This game is based on a an ancient Chinese puzzle. In most versions of the game the loser is the person who removes the last object however this implementation has the option to change this so that the winner is the person who makes the last legal move.   </p>
<p>Before game starts the player is asked some configuration questions, 'What constitutes a win?' and 'How many rows?'. There can be up to one hundred rows and the player must specify how many objects there are on each row. After all this the game begins and each player takes turns removing one or more objects from any row.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects, a demo mode and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Kiddie Cards</em> is a shareware product containing two simple card games for children.
The games are:* Go Boom: One player vs the computer using a standard fifty-two card deck. Both players start with seven cards. Player one leads a card, player two must play a card of the same suit or the same rank. If player two cannot play such a card they pick up a card from the deck and continue to do so until they can. The trick is won by the highest card in the suit that was led. The first player to void their hand of cards shouts 'BOOM' and wins the hand and scores points based on the contents of the losers hand. Winner of the game is the first to score one hundred.</p>
<ul>
<li>Stealing Bundles: This is a simplified version of the card game Casino. It's also a one player vs the computer game using a standard fifty-two card deck. Both players start with four cards and either play a card to the table, take a card from the table, or steal their opponent's bundle. The player with the most cards in their hand when the deck is exhausted, wins.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Tommy's Jottomania</em> is a shareware code breaking game.</p>
<p>The computer selects a secret word, all words are five letters long, and the player has twenty attempts to deduce what the word is. They do this by entering letter combinations of their own and being told whether their combination contains any of the letters in the secret word.</p>
<p>This implementation can be played in two modes:* Solo Mode: where the player plays alone and starts with a score of ten thousand points but loses one hundred points per guess</p>
<ul>
<li>Tournament Mode: This is for two to six players and is played like 'Wheel Of Fortune'. In their turn each player spins the wheel but, instead of guessing a letter they guess the word. The turn continues until a player spins either bankrupt or lose-a-turn, or the player's guess has nothing in common with the secret word.  </li>
</ul>
<p>After each 'regular round' there is a bonus round where the winning player gets to play a sixty second Solo mode game.</p>
<ul>
<li>Hurry-Up Tournament Mode: This is an optional feature of the Tournament mode, players can trigger it at any time and, basically, it stops all the wheel spinning part of the game and players just take turns guessing the word.</li>
</ul>
<p>Other features include the option to abort a difficult word and an on-screen display of letters used. The game's data file is limited to three thousand words and can be edited by the player to add new words.</p>

<p><em>The Catacombs of Nemon</em> is a single-player game which is entirely keyboard controlled.</p>
<p>The game takes place on a single screen around which are scattered boulders, numbered keys, and an exit door. The player uses their torch to move around the screen and as the beam of the torch illuminates a key it's number is displayed. The player must collect the keys in sequence before they can open the door and escape to the next level.  </p>
<p>Obviously there are obstacles and in this game these take the form of rock falls which can crush the player, and a fast moving minotaur who shoots fireballs. He will either attack the player of block their passage with fire.</p>
<p>The game has three modes of play:* The Ruby Quest: The keys are visible on screen but their numbers are only revealed in torchlight</p>
<ul>
<li>The Emerald Quest: The keys are invisible until a torch beam illuminates them</li>
<li>The Diamond Quest: The keys are invisible and stay invisible</li>
</ul>
<p>Each mode has three levels of difficulty. Points are scored for keys collected, levels cleared and for killing the minotaur.</p>

<p><em>Rockets</em> is a single-player, space based, shooter that is entirely keyboard controlled.</p>
<p>The game starts by drawing a star-field on screen and populating it with a planet and asteroids. The planet is an obstacle that a spaceship cannot fly over but the asteroids are effectively just scenery. It then positions the player's ship and an enemy ship on screen and the object is to destroy as many enemy ships as possible before all ships are exhausted. As the player progresses the enemy ships become faster at tracking and firing.</p>
<p>The game features destructible scenery, when a ship explodes near a planet, or asteroid, a chunk of that object is destroyed. It also has a speed up / slow down feature that allows it to be played on different systems.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Air Raid</em> is a single-player, shareware, arcade style game with text graphics.</p>
<p>In this game enemy bombers fly across the screen from left to right. The player controls a series of forty, yes forty, gun turrets spaced out across the bottom of the screen. They select a turret by scrolling left/right with the arrow keys, press the up arrow to make the turret pop up from it's underground bunker, fire, and then retreat back underground to safety if necessary. There are also keys to pop up/down all guns simultaneously and to adjust the height at which the player's missiles explode.</p>
<p>The game is over when either all turrets are destroyed or when the player's active turret is destroyed, whichever occurs sooner.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled. It has nine levels of difficulty, basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Chariots</em> is a shareware chariot racing game which uses character graphics.</p>
<p>There is a nice optional start to the game with a humorous priests invocation, in text, and then the race begins. The player has to take their character, pun intended, round the stadium eight times in each race. During that race the other charioteers will obstruct and collide with their chariot. The chariot is controlled by the four arrow keys, the more they are pressed in any direction the faster the chariot will go.  </p>
<p>A documented, yet unobserved, feature is that chariots can break down in which case, in true gladiatorial tradition, the player can jump on another chariot and fight for control.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Chess Set</em> is a shareware, chess game which uses character graphics.</p>
<p>It is fairly natural when thinking about chess games to think of programs like IBM's Deep Blue and others of its kind, games that play chess well enough to give anyone from an amateur to a grand master a good game. <em>Tommy's Chess Set</em> is not that kind of a game as it does not actually play chess itself. What it does is give the player a computerised chess set with which they can play against another player on the same, or another machine. Alternatively a player can set up a board representing a chess puzzle or a famous game and play it to its conclusion.  </p>
<p>The game uses standard chess notation and has save and restore functions as well as back-step and undo back-step functions. Players can also add their own notes to each move and review these when replaying a game. </p>

<p><em>Tommy's Seawolf</em> is a shareware, single player, submarine strategy game that uses character based graphics.</p>
<p>The player's submarine is in the centre of a grid based map. A convoy travels left to right through the area that the player patrols and it's a big one consisting of ships, submarines, and anti submarine helicopters. The ships have guns and can lay depth charges, the helicopters can fire rockets and drop depth charges, and while the enemy subs are slower they have torpedoes that are a match for those carried by the Seawolf.  </p>
<p>The Seawolf can carry limited torpedoes, missiles and shells but more importantly it has a limited supply of fuel and can only stay submerged for two hours, luckily there is a secret base where it can go to resupply.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Lander</em> is a single player, shareware variant of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Lunar+Lander">Lunar Lander</a> that uses character graphics.</p>
<p>As with the original game the objective is to land a spaceship successfully balancing the need for a controlled descent and safe landing zone with limited fuel. This game adds other variations to that original concept, such as a parachute, glider wings added to which different attempts will have different gravity, air pressure, weather and fuel constraints.   </p>
<p>One documented, but unobserved feature, is the presence of buildings on the surface which indicates then presence of hostile enemies.</p>

<p><em>The Big 100</em> is a compilation of over 100 PD games, featuring a different set for each platform. The vast majority of the included games are board game translations, e.g. Backgammon, Chess or Checkers. The rest features various genres, but mostly falling block puzzles and variants of arcade games.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Cat and Mouse</em> is a shareware, single player, collection of games with a common theme all of which use character based graphics.</p>
<p>All games are based on a randomly generated maze and are:The game generates a maze and the mouse finds its way out without any player interaction. This is effectively the game's demo mode.</p>
<p>The game generates a maze and the player navigates the mouse to the exit.</p>
<p>The game generates a maze and the player navigates the mouse to the exit, however within the maze there are blind cats who will eat the mouse if they stumble upon it.</p>
<p>The player navigates the mouse to the exit of a maze populated by an unspecified number of sighted cats who can jump over walls to reach it. The mouse, however, is armed with a short range 'Cat Blaster' that takes one of the cats nine lives and teleports it to a random cell within the maze.  </p>
<p>If played on the highest difficulty setting the cats cannot be killed, on all other settings though a cat dies when its nine lives have been exhausted.</p>
<p>Here the player plays the game as the cat and the chase multiple mice through the maze. The mice can jump over walls in the maze but only in a diagonal direction</p>
<p>Once again the player plays the game as the cat chasing mice through the maze but the mice can jump over walls in the maze in any diagonal direction
Games 3, 4, 5, &amp; 6 have teleporter cells hidden within them, any object encountering these cells is transported to a random point within the maze. The number of teleporter cells increases with the game's difficulty level. Game configuration options are controlled by the function keys, they include slowing down and speeding up the action, increasing &amp; decreasing the difficulty, changing the game type and, for games 1 &amp; 2 only, changing the way the trace function works.</p>

<p>A two-player aerial duel. The dogfight commences inside a wrap-around, top-down playfield, as each side tries to gun down the opponent's plane. Game parameters are highly configurable, with adjustable values for physics and player variables; on-screen indicators help keep track of lives, power, ammo and damage during battle.</p>
<p>Written in tribute to Iron Maiden and their song <em>Aces High</em>, the game also features a cover of the song (in .MOD format) as its background music.</p>

<p><em>The Trooper</em> is a hack-and-slash action platformer set during the Crimean War. As a British cavalryman, mounted on horseback and wielding a sword, your mission is simple: kill the Russian soldiers before they kill you - with their muskets, mortars and quick-draw handguns. Each stage requires you to fill up your "kill" meter; once you've butchered the necessary number of enemy soldiers, you're free to make your way to the exit. Your slain foes will randomly drop power-ups, giving you temporary invulnerability, extra lives, and even a fireball-shooting sword.</p>
<p>Done in tribute to Iron Maiden and their song of the same name. The author has also released a cover of the song (in .XM FastTracker format), which can be used in-game as background music.</p>

<p>The year is 2020, anarchy and road rage-rule the highways, and only the strong survive as ruthless road warriors prey on passing motorists. You are an Eastern European factory worker, proud owner of the world's last Lada. Your mission: reach the abandoned Lada factory and reactivate it - thereby restoring the glory of the Russian automobile industry, and bringing peace and harmony back to the world's highways.</p>
<p>Although you might expect a takeoff on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2020/lotus-the-ultimate-challenge/">Lotus: The Ultimate Challenge</a>, <em>Lada</em> is a vertically scrolling road shooter in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7668/spy-hunter/">Spy Hunter</a>. You'll have to maneuver your trusty Lada along the roads through changing environments, carefully control your speed to avoid crashing, and use your machinegun and missiles to get rid of other moving vehicles. Power-ups can replenish your ammo, repair damage to your car and boost your score.</p>

<p>A type-in BASIC strategy game for two players.  The game board consists of a row of colored squares, with the players' home squares on both ends, and a ball at the center.  Each side's goal is to get the ball to their home square.  Taking turns, the players flip a number of squares to change their colors: the four possible colors move the ball one or two steps in each direction - when the square at the ball's position is flipped, the ball will move accordingly.</p>

<p><em>Rebound</em> is a basic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9001/breakout/">Breakout</a> clone in 1.8 KB of machine code. As would be expected, the goal is to tear down a wall brick-by-brick by bouncing a ball off a paddle that can slide left or right along the bottom of the screen. Pull it off without losing your seven balls, and you win.</p>

<p>In <em>Hamster's Adventure</em>, the player takes the role of Mr. Hamster who has to save his girlfriend from rats and other rodents. In order to do so, he needs to travel through 11 levels which can be freely explored with the exception of walls and other static obstacles. The goal in each level is to collect all fruit by walking over them.</p>
<p>From a technical perspective, this is a 2,5D action game played from a first-person perspective. In order to get rid of attacking enemies, Mr. Hamster has two attacks: a melee attack and shooting strawberry grenades. Those have to be collected first and have a blast radius which hurts Mr. Hamster, too. This and enemy attacks reduce Mr. Hamster's energy bar - running out results in a game over - which can be refreshed by using biscuits found in the levels. They are saved in an inventory and can be used when necessary. The last move available is jumping: holding the associated button longer results in a higher jump.</p>

<p><em>4K Adventure</em> is an interactive fiction game set in a fantasy universe. The player takes role the black dwarf Grimbis who needs to recover a magical orb which was stolen by elves. During the game, the player reads descriptions, explores the environment and solves puzzles by interacting with the environment by typing in verb-noun combinations. </p>
<p>There are overall seven actions available which partly can also be performed with alternate commands, e.g. the player can both "take" or "get" an item. In addition the game understands the four cardinal directions and allows to view the inventory and quit the game. There are 13 locations and 5 items.</p>
<p>Three other programs are distributed together with <em>4K Adventure</em>. <em>Clock</em> displays the time (either in red, green or yellow) and <em>Hardy</em> and <em>Blake</em> display a random poem by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Thomas+Hardy">Thomas Hardy</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=William+Blake">William Blake</a>, respectively.</p>

<p>In this type-in BASIC game from <em>Compute!</em> magazine, the player takes control of a ship beset by an unfortunate set of circumstances. Not only is it trapped in a series of caverns (presumably in space), it's also given a less-than-welcoming reception by the local residents - a rather unfriendly bunch of aliens. In each room, four of them will try to chase down your ship, and you'll only have your forward-firing gun to get you by.</p>
<p>Once the room is cleared of aliens, it's on to the next one; the rooms are grouped into levels, each with more rooms than the last. Between levels, you will be treated to a bonus round, which lets you take revenge on your pursuers: the aliens are now stationary, and you will have to hunt down as many as you can before time runs out. In each session, the game keeps track of the three highest scores.</p>

<p>In <em>A Matter of Time</em>, the player takes the role of Jonathan Stone who is the assistant of Dr. Joseph Adams. Adams was competing with Dr. Karl Evers about government funds for a time travel machine. Shortly before the deadline elapses, Evers is murdered, Adams becomes the prime suspect and suddenly disappears. As it turns out, he used his time machine in order to find proof of god's existence. Stone's adventure begins when he also uses the machine and find himself in the time of dinosaurs...</p>
<p>This is an interactive fiction game with graphics, although the graphics are loaded and shown separately from the text interface. They usually show up when Stone enters a new location or uses the "look" command. The player interacts with the game by typing in commands, e.g. "take box", which is then interpreted by the parser and followed by a text response. The game is spent with exploring the environment, picking up items and solving puzzles.</p>

<p><em>A Night with Troi</em> is a fan game based on <em>Star Trek: The Next Generation</em>. The player takes the role of an unnamed male member of the ship who convinced Deanne Troi to have sexual intercourse with him. Besides the title screen, there are no graphics.</p>
<p>The whole game takes place in her quarters which consist of a living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. The player interacts with the game by typing in commands (the parser is limited and only understands one command per action) which mostly consists of switching rooms and giving commands to Troi, e.g. ordering her to lay down or undress. The sex acts themselves are non-interactive, but the text changes depending on certain parameters like the room and Troi's position. There are no puzzles, but the player needs to find and collect an item in order to have anal sex with Troi.</p>

<p><em>A Quick Run Around the House: A Sample Adventure</em> was created by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/666748/roger-kenner/">Roger Kenner</a>, the author of the <em>Adventure Game &amp; Interactive Fiction Generator</em>, to demonstrate the abilities of his teaching tool. The player searches a house for a disk containing Kenner's programme.</p>
<p>The interface consists of two parts: the upper part of the screen contains a written description of the scenery and the lower part contains two rows of commands. The upper part changes depending on the situation; usually there are just the directions the player may try to move next (the cardinal directions, up and down) listed. The lower row never changes and allows to get word explanations, get objects, use an object, list the inventory or put something down. All those commands are associated with a key and sometimes, e.g. when trying to take something, a pop-up menu comes up and the player has to choose an object from a list.</p>

<p>In <em>A-MIS Adventure</em>, the player takes control over Norm, the programmer. Norm made a little change in one of his programs, but it caused serious trouble and now he has to show up on Saturday to fix it. The whole game revolves around this task and takes place in the office. There are some puzzles to solve which mostly involve collecting and using items. During this Saturday, Norm also needs to find an access code and work out how he can eliminate the bug without causing even more trouble.</p>
<p>The descriptive part of this interactive fiction game is always segmented into four paragraphs: a (usually rather short) description of the scene, a list of usable items, a list of inventory items and the directions Norm can leave. Actions are performed by typing verb-noun combinations into the parser, e.g. "get newspaper". Well, actually "get new" would suffice because items are only referenced with their first three letters. </p>
<p>Besides the game, the author also provides a second program which provides with hints. The player can choose between three stages of hint quality (between a nudge in the right direction and the whole solution), selects the problem and then receives a text message with the hint.</p>

<p><em>AGI Tetris</em>, not to be confused with the 1998 game of the same name, is a <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> variant which was programmed with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/22646/sierra/">Sierra</a>'s Adventure Game Interpreter engine.</p>
<p>The basic playing principle follows the standard by the book: blocks of varying forms fall down from the top of the screen. The player is able to rotate them and as soon as they hit the ground, they become stationary and the next piece (which is shown in a preview field) falls down. The goal is to create complete lines which then are removed from the playfield. The game is lost when the stack reaches the top.</p>
<p>Each level (before starting the game, the player can set the beginning level between one and five) requires to clear a certain amount of lines. Then the screen is wiped and the next level begins. Those levels progress in difficulty and introduce a higher falling speed or pre-arranged blocks which hinder the player's ability to create lines. There is no reward for clearing multiple lines at once (no high-score) and the background images are taken from Sierra's AGI adventures.</p>

<p>This computer coloring book is another part in the Electric Crayon series. It has 30 pictures to color, which represent the events depicted in the American–Irish animated musical adventure comedy film of the same name directed and produced by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/68490/don-bluth/">Don Bluth</a>.</p>

<p>This computerized variant of baseball - itself based on an older BASIC adaptation from 1973 - delivers the sport to your computer screen using nothing but text.  The computer and the player get to manage rival teams, and flip a coin for the home position.  All input consists of numbers: when the player's team takes the field, possible throws for the pitcher are numbered 1 through 7 (fast ball, curve, slider, sinker, change-up, knuckleball, screwball).  When the team is up to bat, possible actions are 1 through 4 (batter takes pitch, batter swings away, batter bunts, lead runner steals - if one is on base).  The results of each move are described on screen, and after each half-inning the scoreboard is updated.</p>

<p>A stock market simulation for 1-4 players, each with a starting investment of $5000 and a straightforward goal: become filthy rich by trading in 10 different securities.  Written originally for the DEC PDP-10, and published in the Jan. 1977 issue of Byte magazine, the game is built around a realistic (non-random) simulation of the stock market, which lasts from 3 to 10 game years.</p>
<p>Each year represents a turn, in which players receive dividends and may buy and sell stocks.  Bull market and bear market periods will influence stock values accordingly; stocks must be surrendered if the company goes bankrupt, and split when their value rises to $150.</p>

<p>Yet another early conversion of the classic casino game, based on a previous version written for the Compucolor II.  The computer deals, using a standard deck, and the player attempts to rack up cash by beating the dealer's hands: the hand closest to a sum of 21 wins; exceed 21 and you bust; if both player and dealer have the same total it's a push, and neither side wins.</p>
<p>As per usual, each side receives one card at a time and decides whether to hit, stand, double down, or split; if the dealer's first card is an ace, the player is offered an insurance bet.  The house rules: $500 is the maximum bet, and blackjack pays 1.5 to 1.</p>

<p><em>Bullseye</em> is a simple text-based simulation of the perennial pub game of Darts, for up to 20(!) players. The target board is divided into zones of 10, 20, 30 and 40 points, and each player in turn selects a move: fast overarm, controlled overarm, or underarm - the type of throw dictates the probable outcome. Once all throws have been scored, a new round begins, until one or more players win by reaching 200 points.</p>

<p>It ain't easy being a cameleer: not only do you have to survive a 40-mile trek across the Gobi desert, with only one camel and a quart of water -- you and your trusty humped steed have managed (somehow) to anger a tribe of knocked-kneed pygmies, who are now hot on your heels.  All in all, you seem to be in a bit of a pickle.</p>
<p>Your canteen is good for six drinks of water, unless you find a way to refill it.  On each turn, you choose a course of action: have a drink; forge ahead moderately, or at full speed (which works your camel harder); rest for the night; check your status; or give it up and hope for help.  You'll have to watch your water supply, your camel's health, and your distance from the pursuing pygmies.  To top it off, the wasteland is full of surprises: some are good (like the occasional oasis), others not so much (sandstorms and roving bands of nomads, who may try to capture you for ransom).</p>

<p>The objective of <em>El Grinch</em> is to capture the titular Grinch, an elusive bug-like creature, whose hobbies seem to include (1) hiding in bean-bushes and (2) eating all day. You'll have to locate the little pest within the 10-by-10 bean field, by guessing which plant he's hiding in.</p>
<p>When you examine your chosen location, the Grinch will make a sound: the closer he is, the shorter his chirp -- only by listening carefully you can home in on his location. If you still can't catch the sneaky vermin after 7 attempts, you can either go for a hint (to narrow down the possibilities) or give up.</p>

<p><em>Fifteen Puzzle</em> simulates the classic mechanical puzzle game, with 15 numbered tiles jumbled randomly within a 4x4 square, and one tile missing. The goal is to arrange the numbers in order; a move is made by sliding an adjacent tile into the empty position (shown as "0" here), and the game keeps track of the number of moves taken.</p>

<p>Distilling the experience of American football to a purely text-based interface, this adaptation of the game pits a human player's team against the computer's.  In turn, each side selects a move: there are eight possible plays while on offense (run, pass, sweep, screen pass, long pass, draw play, punt, fieldgoal) and five while on defense (normal, hold, blitz, intercept, block).  Time-outs may be called at any point, up to three per half.  The results of each play are described verbally, then the turn goes to the other team - and so on until the four 15-minute quarters have elapsed, and the final score is announced.</p>

<p>This particular computer adaptation of golf is entirely text-based.  Each tee has a different length and par, and the player swings by choosing a type of club to use: the arsenal includes four woods (numbered 1 through 4), eight irons (2 through 9) and a wedge for when you get closer to the hole.  Once you're on the green, you get to use a putter: the putt is controlled by a number from 1 (minimum distance, maximum accuracy) to 10 (the reverse). </p>
<p>After each swing, you get an update with the results and your current distance to the hole.  Lose the ball entirely, and you'll have to replay with a two-stroke penalty.  After you play all nine holes, you can choose to play nine more - or quit and see your scores.</p>

<p>A <em>Concentration</em> game played on a 8x5 board, consisting of 20 pairs of matching tiles in a jumbled arrangement. As a new game is started, all tile faces are shown for a short time, then hidden; the player must select two locations per move to uncover matching pairs. When a match is made, the two tiles are eliminated: the goal is to clear the board in the lowest number of moves. The player may select either numbers or symbols to mark the tiles.</p>

<p>For reasons undisclosed, the Earth is under attack by <em>missles</em> (sic) from another planet. As the unexplainably-hostile aliens rain down devastation from the sky, it's your job to stop the warheads from striking the surface. Enemy projectiles appear at the top of the screen, and weave a somewhat random path towards the bottom. There, you must intercept them with your ABMs, which can only be moved left or right (somewhat like a Pong paddle, but one step at a time).</p>
<p>20 "missles" are fired on each attack wave, and you must stop at least 10 to qualify. The going gets tougher as you advance, and later in the game, a faster type of rocket makes its appearance -- worth double the points when destroyed.</p>

<p>The ever-popular card game receives another computerized treatment, this time at Buck Mann's casino.  The player gets the option to cut the deck, places a bet, and the basic rules apply: five cards are dealt, and any of them may be replaced once to get a better hand.  Hands are ranked in standard order - one pair, two pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, four of a kind, straight flush; achieving one of these will return or multiply your bet accordingly.</p>
<p>Here, aces are always high; after each hand you get the chance to bet on the next card's value, double or nothing.  If you go broke, you can either see "Sharky" for a loan... or get a less-than-friendly farewell from the staff.  You may open an account with the casino to have your player stats saved to disk (using the same player name in a later session will retrieve them).</p>

<p>If you've ever felt like challenging your IBM to a race, look no further than <em>Race Car</em> to get your speed thrills in 40-column ASCII graphics. The action takes place on a figure-8 race track, where one player competes for a single lap against the computer, represented by a smiling face (the computer holds the title of champion, which explains the mirth).</p>
<p>Your car steers and turns automatically -- the only controls are speeding up and braking. Turning corners at unsafe speeds may result in a crash, which can set you back valuable time. The first to cross the finish line wins the race; 3 difficulty levels are available, plus a demonstration mode for those who prefer the role of spectators.</p>

<p>Somewhat unusually for a driving game, <em>Road Rally</em> is presented entirely in a turn-based, textual format. Your goal is to drive a 5-mile distance from home to the Old Mill Stream. There are five courses, ranging from relatively straight to riddled with curves, and you have a choice of four vehicles: a Volkswagen, a Chevy, a Mazda RX-7, and a Ferrari. Trouble is, you only have half a gallon in your tank... and the faster the car, the more gas it will guzzle.</p>
<p>A game turn represents 10 seconds of driving time, and gives you a run-down of your current stats and road conditions. On each turn, you get the option to adjust your gas rate, by entering a number from -10 (hard braking) to 10 (hard acceleration): this is the only form of control you have over your car. Careful speed control is required in order to avoid crashing, navigate curves safely, keep your engine from overheating, and your gas from running out.</p>

<p><em>Slot</em> simulates, as its title suggests, a casino slot machine: the player starts with a balance of 0, and spends a single coin on each pull of the lever (a negative balance is allowed). The three wheels are spun, and the resulting 3 fruits on each wheel determine the payoffs, if any. It is possible to play indefinitely, and to end at any time; other commands allow selecting a new random number seed, and an "auto" mode which goes through 100 consecutive spins at a time.</p>

<p>An educational geography quiz game that, as heavily implied by its name, tests players on their knowledge of states and capitals within the USA.  A map of the country is shown, complete with state borders, and on each turn a random state is highlighted.  Depending on the chosen game mode, the player then has to input either the state's name, or its capital's name.  After a series of ten questions, the player is scored according to the percentage of correct answers.</p>

<p><em>Tic Tac Toe</em> is a BASIC implementation of the familiar strategy game, where each player attempts to form a line of either noughts or crosses through the 3x3 game board. Two human players may challenge each other, or one may test his wits against the computer (the human player always goes first). When playing against the machine, its degree of cunning depends on the chosen skill levels: "basic", "more difficult" or "most difficult".</p>

<p>This version of the well-known dice game was originally written for the Compucolor II; up to 5 players can participate (one of them may be the computer).  The objective is to score points by creating various combinations on each roll of the five dice.  After the first roll, any number of dice can be rolled again to achieve a desirable set.  The upper sets (1 through 6) are scored by summing up the dice with the respective numbers, and the lower sets contain various combinations: three/four of a kind, full house, small/large straights, chance (sum of all dice) and Yahtzee (five of a kind).</p>
<p>A particular combination may be played only once per game, but this version differs in that multiple Yahtzees are possible - giving increased scores and a bonus turn at the end of the game.</p>

<p><em>Adventure</em> is a port of the mainframe text adventure <a href="/search/?q=Adventure">Adventure</a> (also known as <em>Colossal Cave Adventure</em>). It is based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/667385/bob-supnik/">Bob Supnik</a>'s DECUS implementation of <a href="/search/?q=Don+Woods">Don Woods</a>' enhanced version with 350 points. During the game, the player visits and explores a cave. The goal is to find treasure by solving puzzles. Interactions with the game are conducted by entering verb-noun commands into the text parser. </p>
<p>This version includes the option to set the displayed location description to either verbose and brief (normally the verbose version is only shown when entering a location for the first time), occasional offers to receive hints in exchange for points and the possibility to save.</p>

<p><em>Quadrant</em> is another take on the Star Trek school of games: protect the Federation by ridding it of the Klingon menace.  Your part of the galaxy is composed of 8x8 quadrants, each with 8x8 sectors - a sector may either be empty or occupied by a star, a friendly starbase, or a Klingon warship.  You're in command of the USS Enterprise, a prestigious position which chiefly involves typing numbers to interact with the text-based interface.</p>
<p>This time around, the Romulans, Tholians, etc. are staying out of it: the Klingons are your only enemies.  You may choose the total number of starbases and enemy ships, or let the game decide at random.  Impulse power is most useful for traveling inside a quadrant, and the warp engines for traveling between quadrants (though both work for either purpose).</p>
<p>As in other <em>Trek</em> variants, you're equipped with photon torpedoes, phasers and shields, all of which (like your engines) consume energy. You may use your dual-range scanners to map out your environment, send out probes to explore it. Battle may result in damage to your systems; they can be repaired by resting, or by docking at a starbase, which also refills your energy reserves. And when things get too rough, you always have one final option... the self-destruct button.</p>

<p><em>Asteroid Pilot</em> puts you at the helm of a rocket ship, and your task is to plot a safe course across the asteroid field. Your rocket moves to the right at a fixed speed, and is constantly pulled down by gravity: your only control is the Shift key, which applies upwards thrust.</p>
<p>Each asteroid field has a randomly chosen difficulty level, which determines the amount of asteroids (and space dust) you'll have to dodge. Crash into a floating space rock, and you're history; hitting a dust particle will just reduce your maneuverability, but you can restore it back to normal if you bump into another one.</p>

<p><em>Manor</em> is a land management-game, in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Hamurabi">Hamurabi</a>/<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Kingdom">Kingdom</a>/<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Dukedom">Dukedom</a>. You are the Earl of a medieval English manor: each game turn represents one year of your reign, and your job is to run things wisely by means of managerial decisions.</p>
<p>You have three classes of subjects: serfs, peasants and nobles. These make up your workforce and army, and must be assigned taxes, duties, lands and provisions; peasants and serfs grow crops, which go towards your revenue (along with taxes). The king, in turn, collects taxes from you. You'll have to keep the populace well-fed and happy - each class forms its own opinion of your rule, and low approval ratings may lead to revolts. Knighting peasants allows for some degree of social mobility.</p>
<p>The Earldom is surrounded by five neighbors, some stronger, some weaker. Lands can be bought and sold in exchange for grain, and you may gain territories if you launch a successful attack; the other nobles may decide to do the same to you, so defense is also important. There are other things to watch out for, like keeping your soil fertile and avoiding starvation, rats, and even the occasional black plague outbreak.</p>
<p>Even if your rule is a success, the game will eventually end as your character dies of old age. At the end of your reign, you are given a rating based on your effectiveness as a ruler and the prosperity of your estate.</p>

<p><em>Racer Jammer</em> is a variation on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/63347/head-on/">Head-On</a>: you drive your Racer clockwise around the five-lane circuit, and rack up points by collecting the dots. Problem is, you share the track with another car, the Jammer, which goes in the opposite direction and tries its best to crash into you. You can speed up and slow down as needed, and change lanes at the mid-points to evade the enemy. Any collision will end the game; the Jammer also has a nasty tendency to drop random junk piles at the crossing points, which are just as lethal for the careless driver.</p>
<p>When all the dots are collected, you clear the level. The levels grow larger as you advance, with more dots to collect, and more junk dropped by the enemy car.</p>

<p>Sint Nicolaas has been robbed! The thieves have taken his big sack full of presents and gingerbread cookies. In their run however, they weren't careful and presents started dropping out of the sack. Now Sint only has to collect the fallen cookies and presents and brind them to the right chimneys.</p>
<p><em>Sint Nicolaas</em> is a platform game based on the the Dutch tradition of Sinterklaas. Jump across rooftops, pick up presents and cookies and watch out for birds and old fashioned TV antennas. The chimneys have a colored box and a number. You have to deliver the presents at the chimney with a matching color box and deliver as many cookies as indicated by the number. When you pick up presents they follow you in a string, similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19653/flicky/">Flicky</a>.</p>
<p>You can only deliver the present you first picked up. So if the present closest to you is red then you must first find a chimney with a red box. This gets tougher in later levels, where presents and matching chimney don't appear in order forcing you to backtrack parts of the level.</p>
<p>After each round there is a bonus game where you have to pick up 100 gingerbread cookies within a time limit, and there are platforms that disappear when you walk across them.</p>

<p><em>Adventure Game Toolkit</em> is a tool for creating interactive fiction games. In its basics, the user creates text files in which the game parameters and text is specified with the scripting language. When using the <em>AGT</em>, it compiles a playable version out of those files.</p>
<p>What makes this tool notable for the this database is the inclusion of a number of sample games (and their source code) created with <em>AGT</em>:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/21726/the-adventures-of-alice-who-went-through-the-looking-glass-and-c/">The Adventures of Alice who Went Through the Looking-Glass and Came Back Though Not Much Changed</a></li>
<li><a href="/search/?q=Colossal+Cave+Adventure">Colossal Cave Adventure</a> (this is an implementation of the 350 points version and not to be confused with the expanded <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/30108/adventure-in-humongous-cave/">Adventure in Humongous Cave</a> by the same author)</li>
<li><a href="/search/?q=In+The+Year+2093">In The Year 2093</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Those games were added in the first software update in 1988. At a later date, at least since the release of v1.5, they were also also available for separate purchase via mail order.</p>

<p><em>Adventure in the Magic Land</em> is a donationware interactive fiction game. The player is put into a fantasy scenario (although there are some references to modern/future times to be found, e.g. a computer or a spaceship) without a specific goal. The first course of action is exploring the environment and finding out what should be done. Later the player has to solve inventory puzzles in order to win the game. The locations are arranged on a 8x8 grid and include instant death places, but later the player gains the ability to fly which allows to enter the grids unharmed. The starting location is random.</p>
<p>The description of the location at hand always stays on top of the screen. The player interacts with the game by entering verb-noun combinations which may or not result in a useful response. When entering another location, the whole screen is refreshed and a list of the interactive objects is displayed. Distributed along with the game is a text file with a map and hints.</p>

<p><em>Generic Adventure 551</em> is a version of the classic interactive fiction game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Adventure">Adventure</a> (also known as <em>Colossal Cave Adventure</em>). It is based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Dave+Long">Dave Long</a>'s 350 point Fortran version (1978) which was later (around 1984) expanded to 551 points by different authors The code was later touched by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Doug+McDonald">Doug McDonald</a> so it could be compiled with Fortran translation tools and released to the Usenet in August 1990. His code was then ported to other platforms.</p>
<p>The basic content does not differ from the original: the player searches a mysterious cave for treasure. This requires exploring the environment and solving puzzles by typing in commands into a parser. The DOS port adds the ability to save the game to different files and the Amiga ports has a different front-end.</p>

<p><em>The Adventure</em> is an interactive fiction game set in a school. Interaction with the game is conducted through a one-letter parser (the cardinal directions, l for looking, t for talking and k for killing). The directions are used for moving through the rooms, looking gives a description of the current location, talking gives a never-changing remark and killing results in instant death. The player is free to type in other commands into the parser which results in scripting errors.</p>
<p>The only available course of action is exploring the environment until a fatal situation is encountered. After dying, the player has the option to either restart from the beginning (including typing in the player name and listening to the PC speaker intro sound again) or to quit with an insult by the author.</p>

<p>One of many translations of the famous mainframe BASIC game, and quite possibly the first ever on the PC.  Like its ancestors, it is a turn-based, text-based strategy game set in a randomly-generated galaxy.  From the Captain's chair on the Enterprise, you get a (random) amount of time to blast a (random) number of Klingon warships out of the sky, and a (random) number of starbases where you can get your R&amp;R.</p>
<p>The game world is a grid of 64 quadrants, each with 64 sectors.  In this version, all travel is by means of the warp drive: course can be set in eight directions, and the warp factor determines the distance covered.  For memorability's sake, the regions of the galaxy get actual names.  As in other variants, weapons, shields and engines all consume energy, and your combat arsenal includes phasers (which automatically lock on target) and photon torpedoes (aimed manually).</p>
<p>Ship systems may be damaged in battle, and their status is tracked individually; your scanners will help you get your bearings, and the library computer provides a host of useful functions. Your prowess as Captain is evaluated at the end of the mission... whether the Enterprise is in one piece or not.</p>

<p>In <em>Dare-Devil</em> you assume the role of a stunt performer with a gift for motorcycle jumping. Our dashing adrenaline junkie takes on a formidable challenge: a series of jumps over an increasing number of buses. On your way to the launch ramp, you pick up speed and finetune it by adjusting your throttle. If you clear the jump without crashing, you get to repeat your accomplishment with one more bus added.</p>
<p>To win, you have to successfully make the final jump over nine buses. Lives are unlimited, so having your body scraped off the floor is merely a minor hitch on the way to victory.</p>

<p>This text-mode BASIC game finds you in a large room littered with dots. Your character's goal is to gobble up these essential nutrients, without getting caught by the four enemies that patrol the arena. Your movements are limited to straight lines, but your foes can travel diagonally as well. The four side tunnels help you outsmart them: enter one, and you emerge at the opposite side of the playfield.</p>
<p>More or less, <em>Gobble Man</em> is basically <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> without the maze, or the power pills, or the extra lives: a single encounter with your ever-smiling oppressors will force you to start over from scratch.</p>

<p>It spreads disease, it hangs out in your food, it has an annoying buzz.  It's the common housefly, and this game wages total extermination on the nasty little bugger.  One fly after the other comes dancing across your screen.  Pay careful attention to its position: once it stops, you have to choose one of your three swatters to nail it with.  If you succeed, you get a look at the filthy critter's splattered remains... and face off against a faster fly.  If you miss, you'll have to deal with a slower one again.  The more you whack, the quicker they get - if you manage to nail the fastest of them all, victory is yours!</p>

<p>This BASIC game simulates the experience of running a large, multi-user mainframe system of its day.  As the operator, you first configure the system by choosing the memory size, the number of disk and tape drives, the maximum number of concurrent users, and the overall game speed.  These factors determine the difficulty of your job - which is to cope with user demands and keep the system running.  If too many problems pile up, the system crashes and you lose.</p>
<p>After the system is booted, users begin to log in and do their work; you monitor the system's status in real time, and carry out your maintenance tasks using text commands.  User jobs place demands on CPU time, on storage devices, and on the printer; you'll need to balance the load, repair failed equipment, bring devices offline and online as needed, and meet the users' storage requirements.   You can also force users offline, and even communicate back when they complain at you through the messaging system.</p>

<p>As the thinly-veiled title suggests, <em>Packman</em> is an overt <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> clone, written in compiled BASIC. The maze is rotated 90 degrees from the original layout, but the idea remains the same: clear each level by munching on dots, collect the occasional prize item for bonus points, and dodge the four ghosts that roam the corridors. The power capsules in the corners will temporarily slow down your enemies, and allow you to catch them for increasing point awards; when the effect wears off, they will flash and revert to their normal, mean state.</p>
<p>Each level kicks the difficulty up a notch. You start with three 'packmen', and gain an extra one for every 10,000 points.</p>

<p><em>Serpent</em> (better sit down for this) is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3173/snake-variants/">Snake game</a>. As our elongated hero roams the enclosed playfield in search of food, it must take care not to double back, run into the walls, or chomp off its own tail. Every piece of food you collect increases your score, as well as your length. You have to pick up five of them to clear each room; the first room is free of obstacles (except for the surrounding walls), but later rooms thwart you with additional barriers.</p>
<p>On advanced levels, you'll encounter enemies that bounce around the arena. These are lethal if you meet them head-on, but worse than that, they may steal your food - which forces you to lose a life before you can finish the level.</p>

<p>A fantasy-horror themed pinball game from China, similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/5146/naxat-soft/">Naxat Soft</a>'s <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Dragon's+Fury">Dragon's Fury</a>. The story involves an evil wizard defeating and trapping two good ones after an epic battle.</p>
<p>The game is controlled by the two Shift keys with Enter used to launch the ball. The ball can be shot inside the dragon to enter a bonus stage to free the trapped good wizard.</p>

<p><em>Iko San</em> is a shareware <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> clone. The story behind the game involves a meteor striking the earth. On 13th November 2005 this object was spotted in deep space on a collision course towards Earth. While the world's armies prepare a massive nuclear strike on the object the scientific community favours using the solar reflectors on Lunar base. Your mission is to activate these reflectors and to do this you must correctly position the control rods, which effectively means playing a side-scrolling <em>Tetris</em> game.</p>
<p>This is a one or two player game that is designed to be played via the keyboard but which can also be played via a joystick. The game can be played in Story, Record Columns and Record Speed modes.<br>
In Story Mode the game shows a countdown timer, an alarm sounds when there is only one minute remaining and when there are only thirty seconds remaining the game moves the columns around to make completion harder. In all modes the player must assemble a predetermined number of columns in order to complete the level.</p>
<p><em>Iko San</em> plays in either the French, German or English languages, has five levels of difficulty, and supports 'AZERTY", "QWERTZU" and "QWERTY" keyboards.</p>

<p><em>Gertrude's Puzzles</em>, like its companion game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/28529/gertrudes-secrets/">Gertrude's Secrets</a>, is an educational title featuring Gertrude the Goose, although it's intended for a (very slightly) older audience. Here, too, the player roams around an interconnected series of chambers, and (with Gertrude's aid) solves puzzles which exercise logic, pattern recognition and visual interpretation skills.</p>
<p>The tour of Gertrude's residence begins with a tutorial, which introduces the concept of interacting with objects by using the cursor. The three types of puzzles are based on manipulating and sorting objects according to their shapes and colors: the Box Puzzles challenge the player to arrange objects on a grid; the Network Puzzles, on a relationship graph; and the Layout Puzzles, in a sort of Venn diagram.</p>
<p>Solving each puzzle awards a random prize from Gertrude, and the prizes are collected for display in the Treasure Room. For variety's sake, the appearance of puzzle pieces can be altered by choosing from six predefined sets -- or by visiting the designated Shape Edit room, where players can create and modify custom pieces.</p>

<p>A single-screen, text-mode take on the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/467/burgertime/">BurgerTime</a> formula: your task is to prepare oversized hamburgers by walking your character over the ingredients, which causes them to drop on top of each other, one platform at a time. If you can assemble four finished burgers at the bottom of the screen, you'll be praised by your boss -- and hopefully ascend from Hamburger Hell to Hamburger Heaven.</p>
<p>However, your job is complicated by supernatural intervention: the burger parlor is haunted by a ghost. Perhaps fast-food cosmology also includes a Hamburger Limbo, and this apparition is a former employee who perished in a horrible burger-flipping accident; whatever it might be, it stalks the ladders and platforms at random, seeking to take you down with it. If you fail to evade this paranormal pursuer five times, your kitchen career will be finished.</p>

<p>This two-player, ASCII-based arena combat game has a backstory: you and your co-pilot have been busted by Galactic police for smuggling illegal goods.  As it turns out, Galactic justice doesn't screw around, and in a touch of Imperial Roman flair, you've both been tossed into a labyrinth to duke it out with each other gladiator-style.  Only one will emerge alive.</p>
<p>Each player is given a ship, which can shoot in four directions at once.  The arena's layout changes on every round, but the premise remains the same - maneuver your combat ship around the playing field, use the walls for cover, and kill your opponent.  The first player to win ten rounds will emerge victorious.</p>

<p><em>Smashout</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9001/breakout/">Breakout</a> clone written for IBM PCs with monochrome displays. In genre-typical fashion, the goal here is to dismantle a wall of bricks by chipping away at it with a ball. Your paddle deflects the ball, and controls its trajectory by striking it at different angles; you start out with five balls, and lose one if it falls through the bottom of the screen.</p>
<p>You get your points for knocking down bricks: the brighter their color, the more they're worth. Since the game runs in 80-column text mode, and each brick is a single character cell, there are considerably more bricks to destroy than in most <em>Breakout</em> variants. Another quirk is in the controls: the paddle moves one step at a time, using different keys for smaller and larger steps.</p>

<p>In this shareware (but fully functional) maze-solving game, players go on a treasure hunt within computer-generated labyrinths. There are five levels of play, each with 9999 possible labyrinths:</p>
<ul>
<li>Level 1 - bounded on all sides; traversed from left to right.</li>
<li>Level 2 - bounded on all sides; starts on the left, treasure location hidden.</li>
<li>Level 3 - the top and bottom wrap around; traversed from left to right.</li>
<li>Level 4 - the top and bottom wrap around; starts on the left, treasure location hidden.</li>
<li>Level 5 - all sides wrap around; starts at the center, treasure location hidden.</li>
</ul>
<p>The game keeps track of time and the number of steps taken. For extra variety, several options can be modified at any point: the map can be set to show where you've been, where you are now, or the entire maze; visibility may be line-of-sight, or 2/1/0 steps away. You can toggle a "safety rope" to leave a visible trail. Movement speed is adjustable too, and the "search pattern" option even lets the computer automate your work for you.</p>

<p><em>Bolo</em> is a PC remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/17993/bolo/">the Apple II game</a> of the same name: the player drives a tank, which can be steered in eight directions through the maze-like game world. Using your tracking sensor and radar screen, your goal is to seek and destroy all enemy vehicles, and the stationary generators which produce them. Enemy types vary in speed and behavior, and the generators are armored (requiring several shots to punch through their shields). </p>
<p>The difficulty level and maze density can be modified before each game. As in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Robotron:+2084">Robotron: 2084</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/15288/snipes/">Snipes</a>, you can shoot in any direction, no matter where you're going - except that here the controls are relative, and the turret has to be manually rotated. You can adjust your speed up and down, stop, and even travel in reverse to back out of a hairy situation.</p>

<p><em>Multiplex</em> is something of a cross between <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23540/beast/">Beast</a>'s monster-squashing action and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2307/pyro-ii/">Pyro II</a>'s explosion-happy pyromania; much like those two games, it's rendered in colorful ASCII graphics. You, the player, find yourself in a series of mazes populated by roving monsters - all of whom must be killed. One way to do this is to crush them with the assortment of pushable walls scattered throughout each level. The second (and more entertaining) method is to step in close to them, which causes them to self-destruct in a dazzling explosion.</p>
<p>This is best done carefully, because the explosions are deadly; if other monsters (or eggs) are caught in the blast they'll explode as well, setting off chain reactions. Later levels feature large, scrolling playfields, packed with faster enemies that detonate in bigger blasts: the slightest carelessness can get you toasted in short order. If you die, you get two chances to continue from the same level, but your score is reset to zero.</p>
<p>Levels can be modified by editing a plain-text .ini file (which is fully commented).</p>

<p>A simple target-shooting game: you're armed with a swiveling gun on the ground, while targets streak across the sky from left to right (the title may lead you to expect "clay pigeons", but they look like actual birds -- at least as far as ASCII would allow).  The gun can be pointed in five different angles, and to get a good shot you'll have to aim carefully and lead the target.  You get exactly one minute to score as many accurate hits as you can.</p>

<p>This catch-the-falling-objects game uses almost the entire keyboard for its controls.  An assortment of ASCII characters is raining down from the sky, and your job is to catch as many as you can: each column of the screen is marked by a letter or a number, and you can instantly move your basket to any position on the floor by pressing the corresponding key.  The various symbols have different point values, but you're only allowed 21 misses, so they're all equally important to catch.</p>
<p>The game can be played in 40 or 80-column modes, and offers four difficulty levels.  When the game is over, you're awarded with a short interlude from the speaker, depending on your score - and if you were good enough, the computer will adjust for your skill by making each level twice as difficult!</p>

<p>In <em>Torpedo Alley</em> the player commands a submarine in hostile waters, with one objective: sink as many enemy ships as possible. The sub is armed with a limited cache of torpedoes, and as enemy ships zig-zag across the periscope view, each launch must be timed accurately to intercept its target. If a ship makes it halfway across the screen without being sunk, it spots the player's sub and starts shooting; any damage will destroy some of the remaining torpedoes.</p>
<p>The only way to evade enemy fire is to dive deeper. When the sub is fully underwater, the 1st-person periscope screen is replaced with a side view, where the player maneuvers to avoid depth charges placed by the enemy: a single charge means certain death if it hits. When the sub is destroyed (or runs out of torpedoes) the game is over.</p>

<p>The third entry in the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/10893/oxyd-series/">Oxyd series</a> is also the first to be released on a purely commercial basis. Like its predecessors, it is a real-time puzzle game where the player maneuvers a rolling ball through a series of landscapes. Each landscape contains a number of "oxyd stones", which reveal colored symbols when hit; if the next stone you strike is an exact match, the two are unlocked. To complete a level, all matching pairs must be exposed.</p>
<p><em>Oxyd magnum!</em> is single-player only, and contains 100 levels - each with a password, to let you continue later from the same point. The levels get progressively harder as new elements are thrown into the mix: pits, bumps, mazes, teleports, hidden passages, sliding and rotating blocks, deadly water, laser beams (and mirrors), tiles that reverse your controls, and many more. Some levels feature additional balls (controlled simultaneously or in turn), and others offer special items that let you manipulate the environment.</p>

<p>You are a Battlemage - a <em>Ranadinn</em>: you have the skills of a fighter, a wizard and a cleric. You've arrived at the islands of Argentan as a mercenary, to help repel an inhuman horde from the South. Monsters have settled into caves and abandoned castles, villages are under attack, and one of the four islands has already been conquered. The king has hired you to help save his defenseless lands, and off you go on your quest: to find the secret of the invasion's leader, a mysterious sorcerer possessed by a long-dead evil, and vanquish him.</p>
<p>The four islands are connected by a teleportation bridge, and serve as the overworld, with several dungeons and caves where you'll slay monsters, gain experience levels, and find gold. In towns and castles you can stock up on food and supplies, and sometimes get information from friendly NPCs. You command two types of spells, clerical and sorcerial, in the form of single-use scrolls, and two types of attack - melee and ranged; your stats and level will determine your performance in both areas.</p>
<p>Your character's line of sight determines the visible area per turn; the type of terrain also affects visibility and in caves you'll have to light a torch to see anything at all. Progress is saved automatically, which overwrites any existing game data, so there is no way to restore the game to its initial state without a clean backup.</p>

<p>Officially this is an updated version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/70265/ranadinn/">Ranadinn</a>, but it qualifies as a separate game, since a lot has profoundly changed - much more than the title's spelling. Almost all core elements have been streamlined and stripped down, and many have disappeared completely. Character stats, the use of magic, buying and selling, friendly towns and castles, NPCs, even food and torches: these are all gone. Instead, <em>Ranadin 2.0</em> focuses much more on combat, with a greater variety of melee and ranged weapons. </p>
<p>The story again places you in Argentan, a group of four islands connected by a "teleportation bridge", which have been invaded by a horde of ruthless monsters. However, in this version, the lands have been completely depopulated - monsters are the only living creatures you'll meet in the dungeons, caves and forests. As before, battle is turn-based, and you gain experience from slaying enemies (which affects your combat prowess and number of hit-points). However, any treasure found does not count as gold; instead, it adds directly to your experience total.</p>
<p>Graphics are in color this time, and the interface is simplified. Saving the game is no longer automatic, but there's still only a single save slot (which overwrites the existing game data).</p>

<p><em>Shaw's Nightmare</em> is a freeware indie first-person shooter inspired by the classic titles of the genre, most notably <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/doom">DOOM</a>. The game uses <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,1008/">Ken Silverman</a>'s Build engine.</p>
<p>Shaw is a little boy who fell asleep while reading a book and is now trapped in a bizarre world of nightmares. He will have to escape dangerous traps and face various unfriendly creatures on his way to freedom. Finding weapons and other useful items which are scattered across the world will greatly help Shaw in his quest.</p>
<p>The game consists of four episodes, each nine levels long. There is no multiplayer support.</p>

<p><em>The plot of the game</em>. Space traveler crashes on a distant planet called Karma. Evil completely prevails in this place. But Karma was not like this in the past, technology and nature existed in harmony until something terrible happened. And our hero must find a way to the lost temple to reveal all the truth about what is and was going on here.</p>
<p>Every time you start the game, planet is randomly generated. This makes each walkthrough pretty unique. However, main story characters remain the same. This game combines both adventure and role-playing elements. There are many dialogues with the local inhabitants throughout the game, a lot of planet locations to discover and turn-based battles with a variety of hostile creatures.</p>
<p>Graphically the game is presented in 4-colour CGA palette. It uses the same engine as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/36049/tera-la-cite-des-cranes/">Tera: La Cité des Crânes</a>. Also, it has a boss key feature for those, who play at work. Simply press "H" button and bar chart will appear on the screen.</p>

<p>In this simple mouse-driven shooter, you protect a man who enjoys hanging out under hives full of angry bees.  Not the brightest thing to do, perhaps, since he also seems to be rather allergic - a single sting will make him drop dead on the spot.  Be that as it may, the bees attack in groups of four, and your job is to pick them off in the air using your crosshair.  Try to exterminate as many as you can before one of them reaches the man and puts an end to his poorly-chosen hobby.</p>

<p>This shareware pack includes a trio of arcade-style games:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong><em>Catch a Falling Star</em></strong>: those darned astral bodies are just dropping out of the sky, and right onto your back yard no less; if stars weren't enough, the comets are out on a rampage too. You therefore grab your trusty wooden basket and try your best to catch them all; miss three of them, and the game is over.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong><em>Killer Bees</em></strong>: you're menaced by swarms of... really, you can probably guess. In each wave, you must get five of the buzzing enemies within your crosshairs and fry them with your pair of lasers. Despite the title, the bees themselves are perfectly harmless - it's running out of energy that can finish you off: it drains away faster with each successive wave, and shooting consumes energy, too. You may pick a difficulty from 1 to 10, which determines the wave you start on.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong><em>Cosmic Crisis</em></strong>: another shooter, which charges you with repelling a never-ending succession of alien invaders, though they do little more than flying harmlessly across the starry sky. Nailing an ordinary fighter nets you 50 points, and the faster starships are worth 500. Here too, your time is limited by your fuel reserves, but if you do well enough you'll have your tank refilled once you run out.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p>The galaxy has a problem - namely, an evil armada, which rules with an iron fist from its 20 bases in space.  But your Star Destroyer Squad won't have any of that; now the evil armada also has a problem, and that problem is you.  Your job breaks down into three simple tasks: hunt down the enemy patrols, infiltrate the bases, and blow them up; accordingly, each level breaks down into three parts, too.</p>
<p>First, you pilot your fighter through space, killing off hostile ships: this you do with your twin lasers, or with your supply of 3 torpedoes that instantly destroy any foe on screen.  Enemy fire will deplete your shields, but they can be replenished if you shoot the floating shield pods.  Once you've vanquished the defenses, you sneak into the base's reactor shaft, and must pilot your ship through while avoiding the tunnel walls.  Finally, you arrive at the reactor core to deliver the death-blow.  If you make it out, you'll live to fight another day... but the enemy at the next base will be better prepared.</p>

<p>A take on the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8853/qbert/">Q*Bert</a> formula with an ancient Egyptian theme. The famous archaeologist Buster Cheops is treasure-hunting in the ancient pyramid of Amin Ramen, trying to recover some antique urns; he has to explore every block on the pyramid by jumping on it, which changes its color. Unfortunately, the tomb's current residents aren't on board with Buster's scientific curiosity. He finds himself chased around by the jumping skull of Amin Ramen himself, a cobra (named Sam), and a scorpion (whom we do not know on a first-name basis).</p>
<p>To complete a level, Buster has to color all the pyramid blocks *and* collect the urn that appears at the top now and then. Running into enemies (or falling off the pyramid) will kill him, although a new life is given at 50,000 points. Some of the levels have a pair of magic carpets, which can carry him safely back to the top. The three skill levels (beginner, expert, master) adjust the speed of the enemies for a more varied challenge.</p>

<p><em>Heroes 1/4: The Tantalizing Trio</em> is the shareware prequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/20108/heroes-the-sanguine-seven/">Heroes: The Sanguine Seven</a>. The villainous Wild Hare and his band of minions are rampaging the city. Taking control of a superhero team, the player must defeat Wild Hare's henchmen and bring him to justice.</p>
<p>In the shareware version, only three out of seven superheroes are available: the Flying Squirrel, Rockettress and Gumwad. There are ten levels in <em>The Tantalizing Trio</em>, with 50 more levels included in <em>The Sanguine Seven</em>. Gameplay is largely identical to the registered game. One notable difference is that the the Flying Squirrel's colour scheme has been changed between the shareware and the registered versions.</p>

<p>Daredevil Biker Dave is out to wow the crowd - he's brought his two-wheeled speed demon for a streak of daring car jumps. After each successful leap, the ramps are moved farther apart, and another car is added.  There's also a hoop jump halfway through the course, although the Atari version offers a "rookie" mode without the hoop.  The ultimate goal is to jump nine cars at a time, and Biker Dave has five bikes primed and ready.  But there's one little thing Biker Dave overlooked... none of them have any brakes.</p>
<p>The only control is acceleration: to pull off his fearless acrobatics, Dave will need precise control of the throttle and an eye on the speed meter.  Go too slow or too fast at the wrong time, and he'll receive a painful crash course in gravity and friction.</p>

<p><em>NetHack Plus</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/820/nethack/">NetHack</a> variant which adds new character classes, monster and item types. The latest version is based on <em>NetHack</em> 3.1.3 code.</p>
<p>The main objective of the game remains unchanged in <em>NetHack Plus</em>: the player needs to descend into the dungeon and retrieve the Amulet of Yendor. New player character roles include Fire Mage, Ice Mage and Undead Slayer. The Doppleganger character role is based around the ability to shapeshift, and it is also possible to play as a werewolf (Lycanthrope).</p>
<p><em>NetHack Plus</em> comes with a player class selection interface. Each player role has a pre-defined name. The game uses ASCII graphics with modified custom ASCII characters.</p>

<p>Obviously aiming for maximum offense, this game stars a racially-stereotyped caricature of a black man - whose apparent concern is the pursuit of sexual relations with a pair of (fair-skinned) buttocks.  This tantalizing tooshie moves up and down the screen in evasive patterns; if our protagonist misses the mark, he will suffer a fatal meeting with the electric fence beyond.</p>
<p>If he does catch up with the disembodied derrière, the ensuing act is rather more bizarre than what the player is led to expect.  After this, it's on to the next level, which speeds up the action some more.</p>

<p>Anarchists have rigged the Fenton building with bombs, and it's your job to dismantle as many as you can before they go off.  Each bomb is represented by a timer, which counts down in 10-second intervals.  You'll have to scramble your way through the 21-floor building and find them all in time; you can either take the stairs, or call the elevators.  Problem is, the troublemakers have rigged the elevators, too: when you exit, they go right back down to the lobby.  To make it worse, all the doors are stuck open... so if you don't tread carefully, you may quite literally get the shaft.</p>
<p>The number of bombs is selectable (up to 20), to vary the challenge level.  The game is shareware - registration gives you the option to adjust the bomb timers, from the 10-second default to a range of 1--60.</p>

<p>A vertically-scrolling ASCII rendition of the chilly winter sport.  The goal is simple: ski down the track without smashing into the trees.  Each tree that passes by without a collision scores 10 points, and the occasional bonus item can be picked up for 100.  The track gets thicker with trees as it goes on, and accidentally hugging one will end the race on a painful note.</p>

<p><em>PC Pillbox</em> is an <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6962/artillery-variants/">artillery</a> game for two players. The number of battles is set in advance, and the terrain is randomly generated for each round of hostilities. Players are placed on opposite sides of the screen, and proceed to take turns happily blasting the pulp out of each other with missiles, until only one remains standing. Shots are aimed by entering the muzzle velocity and the turret's angle; an accurate hit will send the target to kingdom come in a big, red fireball. Stats for both players are shown at the end of the game.</p>

<p><em>Proton</em> is a single-player computer adaptation of <em>Photon</em>, a.k.a. Lazer Tag's lesser-known competitor. A pair of three-man teams - Blue Squad and Red Squad - duke it out in a maze-like arena, each team with its own base. The player controls a single member of Blue Squad, while the computer controls the other two (and the entire Red Squad).</p>
<p>Each team attempts to outscore the other within the time limit. You gain points by blasting the opposing team, and lose them if you get shot yourself (or worse, shoot your own teammates); this also disables your gun for a few seconds. After five successful shots at your opponents, you'll have to "recharge" by shooting the enemy base. When the time is up, the team with the higher cumulative score gets the match.</p>

<p>A fast-paced game played on a series of abstract, isometric grids within a cube. Each cube has three levels - the objective is to transfer all the cubits (red tiles) to the next level, through the elevators in the corners. They are manipulated by flipping, kicking (<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5386/pengo/">Pengo</a>-style), or pushing them around (<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1715/soko-ban/">Sokoban</a>-style). Once they're all cleared away, you take the elevator yourself and emerge at the next level.</p>
<p>This has to be done before time runs out, and to make your life harder, the wandering "time-wasters" will take precious seconds off the clock if you bump into them; you can temporarily get rid of them by squashing them with tiles. Special bonus squares appear and disappear at random, and if you collect six of them you'll gain some extra time.</p>

<p><em>Deep Fortress</em> is a shareware side-scrolling shooter. The player controls a helicopter and must fight through heavy defences of a fortress to rescue captured high command officials who are held inside.</p>
<p>The player's helicopter has several powerful weapons, including a machine gun and several types of missiles. All weapons share the same ammo pool, with each weapon requiring a certain amount of ammo per shot. Ammunition can be replenished by picking powerups scattered through the level. Armour is repaired in the same fashion.</p>
<p>There are seven levels in the game, with only the first level available in the shareware version. In each level, the player's mission is to storm one of the fortress' bunkers and destroy the shield generator, gaining access to the next bunker. Opposing forces include enemy helicopters, ground vehicles and troops.</p>

<p><em>NetHack--</em> (pronounced <em>NetHack Minus Minus</em>), initially released as <em>NetHack++</em>, is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/820/nethack/">NetHack</a> variant. It was originally built on the <em>NetHack</em> 3.0 codebase and then ported to <em>NetHack</em> 3.1.</p>
<p>While <em>NetHack--</em> does not introduce fundamental changes into gameplay, it adds over a hundred new monster types, dozens of new artifacts, special dungeon rooms and various items. The original release also added new player character roles, such as Firefighter, Ninja, Geek, Musician and Drunk. However, the newer versions based on <em>NetHack</em> 3.1 do not include the new roles.</p>

<p>This unofficial add-on disc contains more than 1,350 levels, cheats and editors for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness</a>.</p>

<p>In <em>Legacy of the Necromancer: Part I - The Adventurers' Museum</em>, the player visits a museum which holds 20 of the most famous treasures of all time. Well, at least it did until the last renovation during which the protective spells had to be disengaged. A wizard took this opportunity and summoned an imp which promptly stole all treasure! The player's goal is to explore the nearby cave and bring it back.</p>
<p>In order to win the game, the player needs to solve puzzles by collecting items (the inventory can hold six) and entering commands into the parser. It supports most commands and abbreviations found in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Zork">Zork</a>. Like in those classic adventure games, the player can die and render the game unwinnable with certain moves. Resource management (determined by the number of moves) includes thirst, hunger, air (when underwater) and lamp power.</p>
<p>This game is first part of the <em>Legacy of the Necromancer</em> series. Although all three parts were released simultaneously and share the same gameplay mechanics, they could be purchased and played individually.</p>

Legacy of the Necromancer: Part II - The Palace of the Necromancer

<p>After finishing <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/70421/legacy-of-the-necromancer-part-i-the-adventurers-museum/">part I</a>, the player received a map which leads to a palace full of treasure. However, this is no ordinary palace: it once belonged to an evil necromancer who tried taking over the world 150 years ago. In front of the palace, the wizard Vandard appears who has an important task for the player: finding something inside the palace which can defeat the sorcerer Mirvos who took over the Necromancer's tower.</p>

<p>After the happenings of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/70422/legacy-of-the-necromancer-part-ii-the-palace-of-the-necromancer/">part II</a>, the player reaches the Necromancer's former domain: the Black Lands of Bakarok. The task at hand is finding a way to the tower and using one of the items found in the Necromancer's palace to stop whatever evil is happening there.</p>

<p><em>3D Xmas Adventure: Santa's Rescue</em> is a Christmas-themed game which was released by <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/pie-in-the-sky-software">Pie in the Sky Software</a> to promote their 3D Game Creation System.</p>
<p><em>Santa's Rescue</em> is a non-violent first-person game in which the player takes the role of a snowman who must rescue Santa from an Ice Wizard. The snowman uses a magic candy cane to defeat the Wizard and his minions, and remove spells from the friendly forest creatures who have been transformed into monsters by the wizard's magic.</p>
<p>The core game mechanics in <em>Santa's Rescue</em> are the same as in other 2.5D FPS games running on the <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/3d-engine-pie-in-the-sky">Pie in the Sky</a> game engine. The candy cane is the player's only weapon, and it uses magic power which can be replenished by picking Christmas stockings. As in other Pie in the Sky games, the player has a limited number of inventory slots to carry items around. Some items can be used without the need to place them into the inventory first, like reloading the magic candy cane ammo.</p>
<p>The objective of the game is to find the cane, locate the Ice Wizard's hideout, rescue Santa and bring him back to his castle. The game is split into several levels, both outdoor and indoor, with the possibility of going back to previously completed levels at will.</p>
<p><em>Santa's Rescue</em> comes with a slide show advertising the 3D Game Creation System. Winning the game gives a special secret code which could be used to get a discount on the 3D Game Creation System from Pie in the Sky.</p>

<p>A single-player implementation of the classic Battleship guessing game, adding the element of sea mines. As in the traditional game, both sides – in this case a human player and his computer opponent – place the same number and selection of battleships on a grid. The grid has a size of 19×15 cells, and the 8 ships to be placed range from a 5×2 aircraft carrier, to spy ships and patrol boats occupying just 2 grid cells each. Players then take turns taking shots at grid cells of their choice, trying to find and sink all of their opponent's ships before they lose all of their own.</p>
<p>In this rendition, each side also places 8 sea mines before the main game starts. If a player places a ship on top of one of the computer's mines, it registers as an immediate hit, and hence also reveals the location of the ship to the computer. Conversely, the computer might have placed some of his ships in grid cells that the player mined, in turn giving them an edge. Mines also influence the game during the main shooting turns. Each side gets to take as many shots per turn as the number of enemy ships they already sank. If a shot hits a mine, however, the turn is immediately over and the opponent will continue shooting.</p>
<p>Once either side has lost all of their ships, the player's performance is evaluated based on the number of shots taken, the number of hits, and the number of shots left after the final hit.</p>

<p><em>Bundesliga Manager Hattrick: Jimmy Hartwig Edition</em> is a limited edition of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/24231/football-limited/">Bundesliga Manager Hattrick</a> which contains the biography of former professional footballer Jimmy Hartwig.</p>

<p><em>Aimpoint</em> is set in a future after the United Nations were dissolved and the world re-organized into five big regions. The Asia-Pacific union, which has access to a no-pollution energy source named Edura, utilizes special agents for important infiltration missions. During 20 missions, the player takes control over these units.</p>
<p>Each mission begins by dividing the available soldiers into teams and equipping them with weapons. Each soldier has different capabilities and is better suited for certain weapons. After that the teams are separately deployed into the mission zone. Here the teams and the soldiers are controlled in real-time (selecting them issuing commands with the mouse) in order to kill enemies and solve the mission objectives. Besides enemies, there are also other objects in the game world which can be picked up or interacted with, e.g. first aid kits, memory cards which allow access to new cameras or mounted cameras.</p>

<p>A variation of ball-and-paddle game (inspired by Breakout) by Richard Wong. There are two rows of bricks, one at the top, one at the bottom. Bottom row belongs to Player 1, top to Player 2 or computer. There are 1 to 15 bouncing balls on the field. When a ball comes into contact with the bricks, it shatters them. Each player has a paddle to deflect the balls and protect his bricks. If a ball breaches the wall of breaks, player loses the game.</p>

<p><em>Deep Sea Diver</em> is a side-scrolling shooter where the player controls a diver armed with a spear gun. He must make his way across ten game levels, trying to get to a secret underwater cave. The player must evade or kill enemies and get air packets from time to time. At the end of each level the diver must defeat the a large aquatic creature. The game was originally released on Softdisk's <em>Disk Monthly #64</em>.</p>

<p><em>On Disk Monthly's Circuitry</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>-style game where the player needs to connect one side of a 'well' to another with a 'circuit' of similar blocks. There are ten kinds of blocks, including 'stopper' blocks which permanently occupy a position on a game field, and 'universal' blocks, which complete any circuit. Blocks can be 'devalued' by one block type. The game ends when the field overflows. Blocks fall faster and faster as the game progresses.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's</em>  is a shareware artillery game for one player against the computer. </p>
<p>The game screen is divided into two halves. Each half contains a sloping hillside with an array of canon on it, the computer controls the canon on the right slope and the player controls the canon on the left. In the centre of the screen is a 'cut out zone' which represents a compressed view of the space between the two hills.</p>
<p>The player and the computer fire shells at each other with the objective of destroying all the opponents guns. Shells can be fired from any of the player's canon, the player uses arrow keys are used to switch between those that remain. While the shell is in the 'cut out zone' there is a brief pause during which the player can change their active canon to prevent its destruction.
There are four modes of play:* Rounds - where the computer and player take turns to fire at each other, the game ends when all of one player's guns are destroyed</p>
<ul>
<li>Free For All - where each player fires at will, again the game ends when one player loses all their canon</li>
<li>Chicken 1 - which is the same as Rounds but the game ends when one player loses their designated canon</li>
<li>Chicken 2 - the same as 'Free For All' but the game ends when one side loses it's active canon</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Tommy's Zombies</em> is a single player, shareware, shooter with character graphics.</p>
<p>The player starts the game in a three roomed house. Outside in the fields are zombies who congregate around the house in ever increasing numbers. Eventually they will break in through the doors and walls and though the player can move items of furniture around to delay them this too will be destroyed in time.  </p>
<p>Zombies can be shot but most of the time they will reanimate, unless the are eaten by their fellows. </p>
<p>There is no score in this game, no save game feature and no high score table. The objective is simply to survive as long as possible.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled, the space-bar is used to shoot the zombies however no bullets are drawn on screen. It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Airshark</em>  is a single player, shareware, vertical scrolling, helicopter game made using character graphics.</p>
<p>The object is to fly over enemy territory and to destroy as many SAM missile firing tanks as possible. The SAM missiles home in on the player's 'copter but can be avoided by making continuous changes to course, speed and height. The 'copter can withstand three direct hits, after that the player has a 50/50 chance of surviving subsequent hits.
The player's score is based on the number of tanks destroyed. </p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled and as with most of Tommy's games it makes extensive use of the function keys. F9 for example fires the missiles while F3/F4 adjust the difficulty level. Other function keys change the size of the game area, adjust the sighting arrows, and so-on.  </p>
<p>It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Ant Farm</em>  is a single person, shareware game which like all Tommy's games uses character graphics.</p>
<p>The player takes the role of a black ant and the object is to sneak into the nest of the white ants and steal their eggs. Naturally these are guarded by both the white queen ant and her soldiers, contact with either is to be avoided. Points are scored for every 'clock tick' spent inside the nest and are deducted for every tick outside the nest. Bonus points are scored for every egg stolen.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Balloon</em> is a single player, shareware game.</p>
<p>The player pilots a balloon that drifts through a side scrolling cloudy sky. Beneath are mountains that must be avoided and on those mountains are nasty things that randomly shoot lightning bolts upwards.
The objective is to survive in the sky as long as possible, the longer the player keeps the balloon in the sky the more they score. To assist them they can drop bombs and release decoy balloons but doing so costs points.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Checkers</em>  is a shareware <em>Checkers</em> management game.</p>
<p>This game has no playing capability itself, it documents a game thus allowing matches to be played via mail or email with other players. Features include:* Saving the current position, part of a game or a whole game.</p>
<ul>
<li>Backstepping, i.e. an undo function.</li>
<li>Editing the board at any time.</li>
<li>Annotating the game with comments and/or sound effects.</li>
<li>Replaying a game.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Tommy's</em>  is a single player, shareware game based on the fun pastime of playing in the road with the traffic.</p>
<p>The player controls a chicken and the object is to cross a four lane motorway or, more accurately, to cross and re-cross and generally fool around because in this game points are scored not for crossing the road but for how long the player can survive in the stream of traffic. When the action becomes too intense the player/chicken can take a break by resting on the lane markers but points are deducted for doing this.</p>
<p>As with most of Tommy's games it uses character graphics and is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Paddles</em> is a single player, shareware, Pong variant.</p>
<p>There are three modes of play in this game.* Wall Play: which emulates a player batting a ball against a wall on their own</p>
<ul>
<li>Match Play: in which the player takes on the computer in a singles match</li>
<li>Mixed Doubles: where the computer controls the other three bats</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Tommy's Patience</em>  Tommy's Patience is a shareware, single-player card game. This implementation includes the following patience variants:* Accordion</p>
<ul>
<li>Canfield</li>
<li>Scorpion</li>
</ul>
<p>Each game is scored using it's own, game appropriate, formula.<br>
For example Accordion scores are calculated using the formula 10000-A-B-C-D where:* A = 50 x (the number of piles remaining - not counting the first pile)</p>
<ul>
<li>B = 100 x the number of cards remaining on the 2nd and subsequent piles</li>
<li>C = the number of moves made</li>
<li>D = 200 x the cards not drawn from the deck (this part of the formula ensures that partial scores never exceed final scores)</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Tommy's Saucer</em> is a single player, shareware, space shooter game.</p>
<p>The story behind the game is that a space ship crash landed in Tommy's back garden and that after helping the aliens fix it Tommy was able to put together a mock-up of the ship which is now available for us to play with. </p>
<p>The actual game consists of a window into which enemy alien ships occasionally appear. The player's task is to target them and shoot them down. Energy expended on ray beams and energy shields gradually automatically replenishes itself over time. </p>
<p>As with most of Tommy's games it uses character graphics and is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display.</p>

<p>Korean shoot-em up game, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/14364/soft-action/">Soft Action</a>’s attempt to redeem itself after the largely unsuccessful <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56556/fox-ranger-ii-second-mission/">Fox Ranger II</a>. The game uses overhead view and pseudo-3D mode not unlike SNES Mode-7, and visual effects are similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6637/axelay/">Axelay</a>. Eardis is set in science-fiction universe, and player must pilot a futuristic plane/spaceship, fighting against invading aliens. Gameplay is similar to other shoot-em up games. The difficulty is quite high: best weapons are rare, and many enemies kill player instantly despite having a shield bar. There is a two player mode.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Wizards</em> is a single player, shareware, intriguing piece of whimsy.</p>
<p>This is one of those games that doesn't explain itself and to is left to the player to decide whether it's a game a time filling piece of nonsense or whether it's one of Tommy's joke programs. </p>
<p>Being an alien and thus knowing about such things, Tommy tells us that this is not really a game, it is the universal test for magic and Extra Sensory Perception. <br>
After entering their name and their trump card the game begins. It is a contest between the player on the left and Tommy's wizards on the right. The object of the game is to move the magical force field/power bar all the way over to the right thus overpowering the wizards, the puzzle is how to do it. <br>
The documentation suggests that the player may win by staring at the screen and moving the force field by sheer willpower, by making appropriate mystic gestures or by saying certain magic slogans. Alternatively magic words can be typed into the computer and, during the struggle, some words do appear at the bottom of the screen, there's often a 3x3 matrix of numbers in the top right corner of the screen too, but whether entering information from either of these helps or hinders the player is not explained.</p>
<p>There is a high score table which records the highest running score after each round. 
As with most of Tommy's games it uses character graphics and is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Towers</em> is a single player, shareware game that is a combination of chess and wargaming.</p>
<p>The basic idea is that here on earth we play chess on an 8x8 board with sixteen pieces on each side. Tommy is an alien and where he comes from the game is played on a 20x50 board with three hundred pieces on each side, this apparently is a more realistic battle simulation.</p>
<p>As with chess there are rules governing the movement of each piece, what each piece may take and how it is taken. Alien pieces are used in addition to traditional earth pieces, the full set comprising pawns, shields, kings, towers, bishops, queens, jacks, dukes, earls, knights archers, princes, princesses, canon, red queens, red knights, and wizards. Towers are the most powerful pieces on the board, hence the name of the game, they have an unlimited range of movement and can capture any other piece.  </p>
<p>There are also bridges, pits and hills, these are 'passive pieces' and while they affect the actions of other pieces, a bridge can only be crossed in the direction it is laid and a canon cannot shoot through a hill, they themselves do not capture other pieces.</p>
<p>As with most of Tommy's games it uses character graphics and is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display. In addition game files can be saved, edited, and there's a backstep/undo function</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Cribbage</em> is a single player, shareware implementation of the popular card game in which the player takes on the computer.</p>
<p>This implementation features both five and six card versions, the five card version is played to sixty-one points and the six card version is played to one hundred and twenty-one points. The game features an optional Muggin's option which, when enabled, means that if the player claims less points that they have actually scored the difference is credited to their computer opponent.  </p>
<p>The game also has a feature called <em>Lurching</em> whereby if a player wins a five card game with a score of sixty one he wins one game if the other player scores the lurching point of thirty-one or more and two games if their opponent scores less than the lurching point, in a six card game the lurching point is ninety-one.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's ATC</em> is a single player, shareware, air traffic control game.</p>
<p>The player takes the role of the air traffic controller for the Greater Metropolitan Area of Podunk. In the centre of the game area is a cross representing runways 1 and 2. Aircraft appear in the window identified by a letter, their height and direction. The player enters commands to alter the heading, the height and so-on in order to bring planes into land or to guide other planes through take-off to an exit point.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Energy Fence</em> is a single player, shareware, puzzle game.</p>
<p>The player controls an energy field ship which is steered around the screen by the / and \ keys. Each time a key is pressed the game leaves behind what is effectively a mirror which deflects the craft should it strike it at any point in the game.  </p>
<p>The point of the game is to navigate round the screen and intercept another energy ship which periodically jumps to another random part of the screen. The player starts with a high score which decreases as the game progresses.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Icicles</em> is a single player, shareware game.</p>
<p>In this game the player takes the role of a character, pun intended - just look at the graphics, who's stuck in a cave with a hose pipe. To move in any direction the player has to point the hose in the opposite direction. The hose fires ice cubes which stick to the walls of the cave and to other ice cubes, hence any movement will gradually fill the cave with icicles. Staying in one place isn't an option either because an icicle will grow towards the character as soon as the game starts.   </p>
<p>The object is simply to stay alive as long as possible which means avoiding all contact with ice which results in death and game over, the longer the player stays alive the more points they score.</p>
<p>As with most of Tommy's games it uses character graphics and is entirely keyboard controlled. It has nine levels of difficulty, basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Old Maid</em> is a single player, shareware implementation of the children's card game.</p>
<p>To play Old Maid requires two players so in this implementation the player plays against the computer. The game is played with a standard deck of fifty two cards from which one queen has been removed. When the cards are dealt they are shared between the players one of whom gets twenty-five cards and the other gets twenty-six. All cards are dealt face up and players discard the all pairs from their hand. <br>
The cards are turned face down and shuffled so that no-one knows which card is which. At this point both players will have a single card of each number and one player will have the odd queen. Players take turns to play a card from their opponent's hand. If it matches a card from their own, which it should, hand then both cards are discarded, if they draw the odd queen then that card is taken into their hand and their turn is over.  </p>
<p>Play continues until all cards in one hand have been exhausted, the hand which is left holding the odd queen wins.</p>
<p>This implementation features two game modes, the standard which uses a full deck of cards and the short mode which uses just one suit each</p>

<p><em>La Cosa Nostra</em> is a gangster-themed 3d-shooter. The player controls Slade Ryker, a cop from New York. The Girabaldi mafia family killed his best friend and kidnapped his wife. He goes to Girabaldi’s mansion to exact revenge. Graphics and gameplay in <em>La Cosa Nostra</em> are similar to other <a href="/search/?q=Pie+in+the+Sky">Pie in the Sky</a> games. There are three weapons available (shotgun, machine gun and spiked knuckles). The player can also use two kinds of grenades — frag and gas. The player must fight his way through several levels, killing enemies and picking up keycards to open locks. In the end he must kill the head of Girabaldi family to save his wife.</p>
<p>There are some gameplay features almost unique to this game, of which some may be considered documented bugs (as they are described and given some explanation in the manual). For example, if player kills himself with grenade, the game just drops to DOS prompt. Weapon pick-ups are barely visible on the floor - the manual says it is intentional, to make the game harder. If the player’s health drops below 40%, any hit from enemy kills him instantly. The manual promotes cautious, almost stealth-style gameplay, but the engine limitations barely allow it.</p>

<p><em>Meridian Gravitas</em> is a 3-d maze game. The player controls a pink cone and must touch all the small squares with it, painting them black. The maze itself is quite complex (especially considering CGA/EGA color limitations), and filled with various-shaped enemies (some of them shoot laser beams) and pyramids that kill on touch. The pink cone can levitate, raising slightly above surface. In special places it can fly very high. The game is written in C/Assembly and was distributed from author's website along with source code.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Show and Tell Maze Generator</em> is a shareware program that generates mazes, it's part game generator and part 'fun software'. The player inputs a series of parameters that control the size of the maze, the colours, the width of the pathways etc and the program does the rest. Mazes can be printed and used as puzzles, other this it has another use, the documentation states that:-<em>&gt; "This is a great program for leaving on all day when your pc isn't doing anything important, in order to impress visitors. (you can make up a story about what it is doing)"</em>As with most of Tommy's games it uses character graphics and is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects, a demo mode, and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Othello</em> is a shareware implementation of the classic board game of Reversi, also known as Othello. </p>
<p>The game is played on a standard 8x8 board with one player using black pieces and the other using white. The payer's objective is to fill the board with as many pieces of their colour as possible. By trapping the opponents pieces in between two of their own, they turn into their colour.   </p>
<p>This implementation can be played three ways, if no human players take part the game plays both sides, if one human player takes part then they play against the computer and finally two human players can play against each other.</p>
<p>This implementation has a 'complete board management system' which means games can be saved and replayed, plus there's a backstep or undo function. The strength of the computer opponent can be varied, it can be configured to 'look' up to nine moves ahead.</p>
<p>There is a high score function and, as with most of Tommy's games it uses character graphics and is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Roulette</em> is a single-player, shareware roulette game.</p>
<p>The player can only place a limited set of the standard roulette bets, up to six individual numbers, odd, even, high, low or one of the 'dozens'. There are no pairs, groups of three, four or six, no neighbours, no red or black. They start with $100 and can continue playing even when they run out of money. The cumulative score is saved in a work-file which can be erased thus resetting the player's cash score back to $100.</p>
<p>As with all of Tommy's games it uses character graphics and is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Yahtzee</em> is a shareware implementation of the popular dice game.</p>
<p>This implementation is for up to eight players.   </p>
<p>The objective is to score points by creating various combinations on each roll of the five dice. After the first roll, any number of dice can be rolled again to achieve a desirable set. The game's score sheet is divided into two parts, the upper part contains boards 1-6 where the player scores the number of ones, twos, threes etc on that roll. The lower part of the board can vary depending on the mode of game being played.  </p>
<p>The standard game of <strong>Yahtzee</strong> is played with a lower the following lower boards:* Three of a kind - scores the sum of all the dice</p>
<ul>
<li>Four of a kind - scores the sum of all the dice</li>
<li>A Full House, two of one number and three of another, scores 25 points</li>
<li>A small straight, any sequence of four dice, scores 30 points</li>
<li>A large straight, any sequence of five dice, scores 40 points</li>
<li>A 'Chance' which is the sum of all five dice in any roll, no specific requirements</li>
<li>A Yahtzee where all five dice have the same number. This scores 50 points and may be scored multiple times but at the expense of one of the other options.</li>
</ul>
<p>An upper board bonus of 35 points can be scored if the upper board totals more than 62 points</p>
<p>In the <strong>Yacht</strong> variation the lower board consists of fewer options and is scored differently:* Four of a kind - scores the sum of all the dice</p>
<ul>
<li>A Full House, two of one number and three of another, scores the sum of the dice</li>
<li>A little straight is 1,2,3,4,5 and scores 30 points</li>
<li>A big straight is 2,3,4,5,6 and scores 30 points</li>
<li>A Yacht where all five dice have the same number scores 50 points and may only be scored once.</li>
</ul>
<p>This variation also has a special rule whereby the first roll must be to the lower board and the player must continue to roll until a Yacht is achieved. The player's score is docked five points for every roll and should their score become negative their yacht is said to be 'sunk'.</p>
<p>In the <strong>Crag</strong> variation the game is played wit just three dice and the lower board is as follows:* Three of a kind - scores 25 points</p>
<ul>
<li>A low straight (1,2,3) scores 20 points</li>
<li>A high straight (4,5,6) scores 20 points</li>
<li>An odd straight (1,3,5) scores 20 points</li>
<li>An even straight (2,4,6) scores 20 points</li>
<li>A Crag, any three dice that total 13 points and which contains a pair, scores 50 points</li>
<li>A Thirteen, any three dice which total 13, scores 26 points.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Peg Solitaire</em> is a single player, shareware implementation of the board game.
It comes with two 'classic' board layouts:* PEG: The traditional cruciform board which has thirty three holes of which thirty two are occupied. The object is to remove all but one pegs from the board, by jumping over them with neighbouring pegs.</p>
<ul>
<li>COLOUR PEG: which uses the same board but here there are only twenty-four pegs, six pegs in each arm of the cross with each group being a different colour. Here the object is swap the groups around so that the top and bottom groups swap places as do the left and the right groups.</li>
</ul>
<p>The game is keyboard or mouse controlled, has basic sound effects and a high score table.</p>

<p><em>Aliens</em> is a single-screen shooter which features a common setup: aliens attack an unnamed planet which is represented by green hills on the bottom part of the screen. On these hills there are fortifications which fire at the attacker. However, in this game the player controls the alien ship instead of the defenders. </p>
<p>The ship can be freely moved within the screen and shoot bullets straight down. The goal of each level is destroying all defenders. The player starts out with five lives which are lost when the ship is hit by a bullet or crashes into the hills. After losing a life, the ship instantly respawns without losing progress in the current level. The game ends when all lives are depleted, but an additional one is gained when progressing to the next level. The game simulates inertia and sometimes extras fall from the sky which can be picked up before they reach the ground. The level layout (the look of the hills and the position of the defenders) varies at each start.</p>

<p>Earth is under alien attack! The player is the sole defender and has to keep the alien ships from reaching their destination by ramming them. Despite the game being technically turn-based, the result is an action game: each round is on a timer and at the end of the time span, all enemies move one field - even if there was no player movement. The round also ends when the player moves with the result that, at least on the lower difficulty levels, a fast enough pace can keep the enemies on their place.</p>
<p>The game field (one screen) is filled with different ASCII characters which represent the game's objects: the player's ship, alien ships (are taken out of the game when touched), droid ships (deadly by touch), meteors (deadly for both the player and enemies), Earth and stationary mines (also deadly). The game ends when either all alien ships are gone, an alien ship reaches Earth or when the player dies. There are nine difficulty levels which determine the length of a round.</p>

<p><em>Circlink</em> is a shareware strategy game for up to four players, the computer can take one of the available player positions if required.  </p>
<p>The game is played on a 10x7 grid. In each cell is a circle with a hole in one side. The object of the game is to place a marble into a cell at the top of the grid and, by rotating either all cells in a column or all cells in a row, to move it to the bottom of the grid. 
The game is customisable and is completed when one player moves one, two, three or four marbles to the bottom row.</p>
<p>The game has basic sound effects, mainly bleeps, and is entirely keyboard controlled</p>

<p><em>CleanUp</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled, shareware puzzle game. It is a reworked version of a game 1979 game by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/676556/doug-schiller/">Doug Schiller</a> that was released on the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=TRS-80">TRS-80</a>.</p>
<p>The game area consists of randomly scattered blocks among which are gold stars. The player must negotiate their way around this arena collecting the stars.   </p>
<p>The game is keyboard controlled, pressing a non-arrow key ends the game as does colliding with a block or crossing the player's previous pathway. The game is scored with the score calculation being based on the number of stars collected, the speed at which the game was being played, and the length of the path taken by the player.</p>
<p>The game has a high score table and basic sound effects, bleeps and whistles.</p>

<p><em>Garden</em> is a shareware arcade type of game which, in concept, is a bit like a playing Whac-A-Mole with invisible moles. </p>
<p>The player has to look after a garden, in the garden are flowers and weeds and, unfortunately, some gophers. The gophers eat the flowers and must be stomped on, the problem is they are underground and cannot be seen, the only way the player has any idea where they are is to watch where flowers disappear and hunt in that location. When they player is in a position to stomp a gopher the cursor changes colour  </p>
<p>Points are scored for trampling weeds but are lost when flowers are trampled or eaten. The game ends when all the gophers have been stomped and if the player has scored more than 2000 points the next game will be harder with more flowers to avoid and gophers to catch.</p>

<p><em>MaxMan</em> is a single player, shareware, Pac-Man clone.</p>
<p>As with other Pac-Man games the player runs around a maze, eating power ups, and generally avoiding the nasty green gremlins unless they have eaten a big power up in which case they go monster hunting.<br>
This game adds a minor twist in that when the player loses a life their ghost lives on as a 'grim reaper' and becomes one of the nasties that has to be killed. The higher the player's score when all the gremlins and ghosts have been killed the more baddies they will face in the next round.</p>
<p>The game is keyboard controlled and has basic sound effects such as bleeps, whistles and so-on.</p>

<p><em>TiltMaze</em> is a single player game based on those annoying puzzles in which the player must herd lots of balls into the centre of a maze</p>
<p>In this implementation the maze is tilted via the arrow keys and the small balls of the real game are replaced with smiley yellow faces, the object being to get all the faces into the central area. At various points within the maze there are traps that destroy some of the smileys thus preventing the player from achieving a maximum score. The game is entirely keyboard controlled and has basic sound effects, a beep when a smiley falls into a trap</p>

<p><em>Dueling Dragons</em>  is a shareware game for two people, or one person vs the computer. In concept this game plays like a cross between a light cycle game and a Snake variant.</p>
<p>The players each control a dragon, one blue and one red. They start off as a single spot and grow, snake like, as the player moves their dragon around the screen but it does not grow indefinitely after reaching a certain point the end of the tail fades.  </p>
<p>The object of the game is to surround the opposing dragon so that it cannot move. The game is entirely keyboard controlled and has basic sound effects such as bleeps and whistles.</p>

<p><em>How-Two Build A Robot!</em> is a single player, shareware, platform game in which the player must collect all the parts needed to build a robot and take them to the laboratory where they are assembled. Naturally there obstacles to over come, in this case there are gates lifts and barriers to navigate around, switches to switch, a stock control robot that takes components to its stock room, and the whole game must be completed before the supply of battery power runs out.</p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled and has basic sound effects such as bleeps and whistles.</p>

<p><em>OutFox</em> is a single player, shareware implementation of the board game <em>Fox and Hounds</em>.</p>
<p>As with the board game the player has twenty four hounds with which to trap the fox, the fox is moved by the computer. In this version there are rocks on the playing field which the fox may randomly throw around the screen potentially killing one of the hounds.</p>

<p><em>The Amulet</em> is set in the fantasy land Osbeorht which is in the grasp of the demon wizard Eoghan and a brotherhood of necromancers. However, a brave adventurer starts on a journey to set things right. In order to defeat evil, he needs to travel through Osbeorht and find a number of artifacts which are said to be crafted by Prince Beorth, ruler in more pleasant times: an amulet, six power stones and a helm.</p>
<p>After choosing one of five classes (which only influence strengths and weaknesses), the player starts the journey on the one-screen map of Osbeorth. In each turn, the player moves one field and either encounters nothing, finds treasure or a monster. The latter initiates combat (unless the player surprises the monster and chooses to avoid it) which is basically a sequence of dice rolls. When the player attacks, there is a choice between using the sword (aiming for the head, body or limbs) or a spell. Each monster has two statistics (combat strength and psy power) which should influence the player's choice - a monster without psy power only laughs at spells. Delaying the choice too long results in a missed turn. The player and the monster exchange hits until one of them dies; when the player wins experience points are awarded. More powerful spells are available after earning enough experience.</p>
<p>Otherwise there are also special places to visit on the map: there is a safe way without monster encounters as well as so-called secondary scenarios, e.g. a swamp or the necromancers' castle. Entering them opens up a new map to explore. There are also two friendly castles on the main map which allow to save the game. The game calculates a rating based on found treasure and earned experience.</p>

<p><em>SLASH</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/820/nethack/">NetHack</a> variant that adds new player roles, monster types, items and special levels. Its title is a backronym which stands for <em>SuperLotsoAddedStuffHack</em>.</p>
<p><em>SLASH</em> incorporates many features from earlier <em>NetHack</em> variants, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/70375/nethack-plus/">NetHack Plus</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/70414/nethack-/">NetHack--</a> (the latter having been developed by the author of <em>SLASH</em>), but also adds entirely new content. There are about 150 new monster types and 8 new player roles (two of them unique to <em>SLASH</em>), new special levels and special rooms, items, weapons, armour and artifacts. Certain game mechanics in <em>SLASH</em> are also different from <em>NetHack</em>, but core gameplay and objectives remain the same. </p>
<p>The original releases of <em>SLASH</em> are based on <em>NetHack</em> 3.1 code. The game was later ported to v3.2, adding the option to use graphical tiles.</p>

<p><em>Spider Web</em> is a single player, shareware game. It is controlled by keyboard, mouse, or joystick and has and basic music sound effects both of which consist of bleeps and whistles</p>
<p>The object is to spin a web and catch all of the flies before they breed out of control. Flies can be eliminated by erasing them with the spider when suspended with a web strand or hitting them with the bar or mouse button.</p>

<p><em>SpinWall</em>  is a single player, shareware maze game.</p>
<p>The player controls a ghost who wanders through the maze collecting gems. Being a ghost means that the player walk through coloured walls if they have collected a key of the appropriate colour. Obstacles in the form of paint cans exist within the maze. If the player mistakenly bumps into one of these the whole of the accessible part of the maze is flooded with that colour making it impossible to see where the gems are.</p>
<p>The object is to arrive in the Winners Circle with a high score, each gem collected increases the score, each move made reduces it making route planning very important. The path through the maze is not a simple one and it may prove impossible to access some areas, this is where the spin in <em>SpinWall</em> comes into play. Pressing the S key the causes the corners of the walls to spin generating new openings and closing off others.</p>

<p>With <em>Carriers At War: Construction Kit</em> you can create your own scenarios for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5251/carriers-at-war/">Carriers at War</a>.</p>

<p><em>Automon</em> is a freeware monopoly game for up to eight players.</p>

<li>Pop up menus control all actions. Submenus appear so as not to obscure the menu tree</li>
</ul>
<p>The default board is, of course, American and is based on Atlantic City. The game comes with a companion program which allows player(s) to edit the chance cards, community chest cards, and properties whose names, rent, cost etc can all be altered.</p>

<p><em>Checkers</em> is a single player, shareware implementation of the traditional board game. </p>
<p>It is played entirely via the keyboard and has functions for changing the colour of the pieces, the board and for printing out the moves made in the game. </p>
<p>Piece selection in this game is a unusual, the rows and columns are numbered and the player selects the column of the piece they wish to move. The game then picks the piece in that column that can be moved and repeatedly shows it first in its current position and then in its new position. If this is the move the player wishes to make they press ENTER to confirm. If it's not they use the up/down arrows to select either a different destination square or a different piece.</p>
<p>This game does not recognise quadruple jumps.</p>

<p><em>Civil War Battleset</em>  is a single player, freeware war-game based on the American Civil War. It is entirely keyboard controlled and is an adaptation of an earlier game written for the Atari.</p>
<p>The game allows the player to customise the enemy's level of aggression, difficulty, and how far their units can see. The original 1990 release came with four scenarios, two for Gettysburg, Shiloh, and Stones River.  </p>

<p><em>Nero 2000</em> is a trivia quiz game released in Finnish only. You choose to compete in four question categories, each including approximately 500 questions.</p>
<p>The categories are:
1. Sports, dialect words and foreign words
- General knowledge, geography and literature
- Travel, literature, general knowledge and nature
- General knowledge, art and movies</p>
<p>The game can be played against the computer AI or a human opponent on a shared computer. Answers need to be typed on a keyboard. The game proceeds in turns.</p>
<p>The game can be won in two ways. One is to get all the points from your opponent and another way is to get all ten "correct answer" -markers (light bulbs on Commodore version) lit before your opponent does so. These markers are lit whenever you answer a question correctly, unless you choose before seeing a new question to attack your opponent and try to black out one of their markers with your correct answer instead. In a single player game, the AI opponent never answers a question, but gets a marker lit whenever you answer incorrectly.</p>
<p>Both players start with 100 points and they may choose to bet any number of the points before a question is revealed. This amount of points will be stolen from your opponent upon a correct answer and lost when the answer is incorrect. There is also a randomized bonus multiplier of 2 to 4 to the initial bet, which is given to the winner, but not reduced from the loser's points. Running out of points will end the game as well.</p>

<p><em>Armada</em> is a <em>Battleship</em> variant. With all options deselected, it offers the standard experience: Each the player and the opponent (either another human or the computer) have a 10x10 grid on which they divide five ships of different sizes. Then they take turns and select one of the other's grids to take a shot. The goal is to destroy all enemy ships first.</p>
<p>The available special options are stealth fighters (each side has a combat plane which automatically take additional shots on the other grid), scopes (allows to scout the enemy grids, but adds a time limit of 60 seconds), mines (kill everything within their blast radius of 2 grids when hit) and day/night. When all or one of those options are used, the abilities of the ships come into play: the carrier (five grids) is responsible for keeping the stealth fighter in play and the destroyers (four grids) hold the equipment for keeping the jammers (2 grids) useful which hurt the enemy's scope. There are also three different AI opponents with different scope training and one of them instantly knows the mine coordinates.</p>

If a player succeeds in scoring with all six dice then they can continue their turn by re-rolling all of them.</p>

<p>All the pieces are rectangular in shape and the number of pieces in the final puzzle is set by the player to any number between 4 and 1400. The documentation states that using a high number of pieces will result in lots of pieces for sky, grass, water etc all looking the same and that the puzzle will automatically complete these areas if they are <em>exactly identical</em>.</p>

<p><em>Around the World in 80 Days</em> is a children's game based on the novel of the same name. It follows the English nobleman Phineas Fogg and his sidekick Sidney (a monkey) who bets that he is able to travel around the world in 80 days.</p>
<p>During his travels (the next destination can be picked from a world map), Phineas is presented with several situations and problems, some created by his adversary Baron Hogsbreath, which he can't solve without the player's help. The player can interact with the scene with four painting tools, e.g. the pencil Nick is used to draw things which then become real or the rubber Winston is used to remove things from the scene. For example, when a museum's curator refuses to let Sidney into the museum, the player can remove the word "no" from a sign which says "no monkeys allowed". The things the player can do in each scene are limited, e.g. Nick only has two or three things available to draw, and there is no way to fail. The dialogue and animations are humorous.</p>
<p>The educational aspect of the game is about improving the player's reading skill and broaden the vocabulary. For this reason, the player can click on some "hot words" (e.g. foreign expressions) to get an explanation of their meaning.</p>

<p>"Everyday changes in subtle ways between games, so a proven solution CANNOT be written with ease. I have tried to make the game amusing with the dozen characters who run around the land, and indeed provide links for several puzzles which you will have to solve. You are about to enter the friendly town of Larbiton, but things are not currently as friendly as they might be.
Forewarning : A strong factor in this game is time (or lack of)"</p>

The game has optional sound, can be played either via the keyboard, mouse or by a keyboard mouse combination, and supports either VGA, EGA, or MCGA graphics.</p>
<p>The story behind the game is that many centuries ago five galley slaves washed up on a tropical island, one of whom was your ancestor. Every one hundred years ownership of the island passes from one family of descendants to the next and it's your family's turn meaning you now own an island paradise. The good news was relayed by a firm of solicitors because the previous owner who should have imparted the good news has disappeared. </p>
<p>The game screen consists of seven small windows one for each of the following, conversation responses, the picture, the games commands, sentence construction, movement, an inventory window and an object window. To get something done the player presses the appropriate command key and then the appropriate number in the inventory, or the clicks relevant boxes on screen. So pressing 'S' puts the verb 'Talk to' into the sentence window, pressing the appropriate key for a character will put their name into the sentence window and pressing ENTER will initiate the conversation. Alternatively the player can construct a sentence by clicking on the appropriate command and object.</p>

<p><em>ABC-Talk</em> is a shareware, single-player, package of educational games whose distinguishing feature is that it provides audio feedback and encouragement to the pupil. <em>ABC-Talk</em> is a companion program for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/69244/123-talk/">123-Talk</a>.</p>
<p>The product consists of eight mini games which are:* Keyboard Banger : When this game starts it paints a pattern on screen using a word in multiple colours.

<ul>
<li>The ABC Song: The letters of the alphabet are shown on screen and a child sings them in sequence.</li>
<li>Say The Alphabet: The game displays a letter and then asks the pupil to say what the letter is. This is repeated until the payer aborts the process</li>

</ul>
<p>The game is keyboard controlled with the mouse only being used for the 'Easy Mouse Draw' option. The parent/tutor can also integrate their own voice files into the program. The basic game used the PC-Speaker though there were more expensive options available for those with SoundBlaster and SoundBlaster Deluxe boards</p>

As with most games of this genre commands are usually two word affairs, 'Go Taxi' 'get Camera' and so on. Some common commands such as directions, up and down can be shortened to single keys n, s, w, e, u, &amp; d.</p>
<p>The game has no graphics at all but it does have a save game feature</p>

<p><em>Sink The Bizmark</em> is a one or two player implementation of the traditional game that used to be played with pen and paper but which is more often played as a board game these days.</p>
<p>This implementation gives each player a carrier, destroyer, battleship, PT boat and a submarine which must be placed on a 10x10 grid. Ships may be placed horizontally or vertically on this grid by specifying a start co-ordinate and whether the ship is to be placed Up, Down, left or Right from that point. Ships can be repositioned if necessary, they are not locked into place until the player presses ESC. When both players have placed their fleet they take turns to fire at the other player's grid. If it's a hit the player is informed. All tiles that a ship occupies must be hit, before a ship is sunk. The first player to sink all the other's ships wins. </p>
<p>This game also includes a quiz based on the US Navy. The player is shown ten questions and a selection of nineteen possible answers, the task being to assign the right answer to each question. They may change their answers to any question but each answer can only be used once. When all questions have been answered the player presses ESC and the game lets them know how many questions were answered incorrectly. The player can opt to continue and repeat the quiz, the answers from the previous attempt are preserved, until they get all questions correct. Only then can they proceed to the next level.</p>

<p><em>Animated Multiplication and Division</em> is a shareware educational title that aims to teach mental arithmetic to American school children in first, second and third grades</p>
<p>The pupil chooses between either multiplication questions or division questions and selects the presentation style that suits them best. They then choose to answer questions either based on a specific number in the range 1-10 or a mixture of these numbers.   </p>
<p>Once the configuration questions have been answered the game asks a series of questions in the form 8 x ? = 16, or 16 ÷ ? = 2, leaving the player to enter the appropriate number. When all questions have been answered the player is rewarded with a mini game.</p>

<p><em>Animated Memory Game</em> is a single player, shareware memory game based on the card game <em>Concentration</em></p>
<p>In this implementation the player can play with either a keyboard or a mouse and has a choice of playing with eight, fourteen, twenty or thirty four tiles. When a pair of tiles is matched it plays a small animation, the reward for matching all tiles in a game is also a small animation.   </p>
<p>The game features a 'mini movie theater' in which the end of game mini movies can be watched, players can also change the tile back and background colour.</p>

<p><em>Animated Money</em> is an shareware edutainment title designed to teach children coin recognition. It used American and Canadian coinage and can be controlled either by the keyboard or by the mouse.</p>
<p>There are three games in this title:* Game 1 where the pupil matches a picture of a coin to it's denomination</p>
<ul>
<li>Game 2 has the child match a group of coins to their value</li>
<li>Game 3 is the most advanced game, here the pupil matches one group of coins to another group of the same value</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Angst: A Game Of Urban Survival</em> is a single player, shareware adventure game based on the Los Angeles riots of 1992. </p>
<p>The game uses a DOS Window to frame and run the game. The player starts the game and is shown a scene which puts the player on a motorway junction outside the city. They then use the menu bar to select an attitude with which to approach the scene and an item, attitudes range from Conservative to Green while the items range from an uzi to a breath mint.<br>
The player then enables their mouse and clicks on the picture, anywhere that is coloured yellow is a link to something, sometimes the link does not do a great deal, for example in 'The Fun Zone' clicking on another character brings up a message "You refrain from romance because you do not know your partner's antibody status". Other hot spots though open up other scenes and this is how the player progresses through the game.</p>
<p>What is the point of the game? Who knows? The game's documentation is deliberately enigmatic saying only:<br>
<em>"
Object of Game : Up to you to determine. Characters and scenes may give you a hint"</em><br>
but the manual also makes it clear that it is possible to win, that it is also possible to die, and it is possible to get stuck by not possessing the right item in the right place.</p>

<p><em>Argh</em> is a single player, freeware, sliding block puzzle.</p>
<p>In this game there are three puzzles ARGH, BARGH and CARHG, all of which are similar but which differ in complexity. In each puzzle the player starts with a frame within which are a number of coloured blocks. The object in each game is to move block A from its starting position to a specified end position that's on the opposite side of the frame.</p>
<p>There's no sound and no score other than the number of moves taken. The game is entirely keyboard controlled and has a save/load function and a 'Boss key' that fills the screen with a spurious spread sheet. It has a command line switch that will cause it to run in monochrome</p>
<p>Though the game is freeware the author did sell a version of the game in which the puzzles would solve themselves</p>

<p><em>Argonaut</em> is a single player, space strategy game.</p>
<p>The game plays like many of the <a href="/search/?q=Star+Trek+variants">Star Trek variants</a> though this game contains no references to that universe.</p>
<p>The player takes control of the Argo with a mission to end hostilities near the Xanadu base. The player is immediately involved in a conflict with several enemy ships of various races all of whom are fighting each other. <br>
The game screen is divided into three areas. In the upper right is a map of the immediate area of space, in the upper left is a reminder of the keyboard commands and the ship's stats, and the lower part of the screen is used to show what the other ships did in their turn<br>
Play is turn based and in their turn the player can use any of these commands each of which is assigned to a numeric key;* 0 - Computer. Request a computer report on war conditions.</p>
<ul>
<li>1 - Shields. Flush remaining engine power to reinforce your shields.</li>
<li>2 - Engines. Move as many total units as you have engines.</li>

<li>7 - Mapper.</li>
<li>8 - Transporter. Reinforce a friendly ship or take over an empty ship.</li>
<li>9 - Radio.</li>

<p><em>Ario Bros</em> is a single player, platform game that uses character graphics.</p>
<p>In this game the player has to keep the plumbing free of pests while collecting points. To collect the pest the player jumps up and bangs the platform beneath the pest, this temporarily stuns them so that they can be collected. Collected pests leave behind coins which score points. Some pests can be stunned with just one jump, others take two or more. <br>
The game also has a POW box. When hit this stuns all pests but its effect is reduced with repeated use.<br>
There's a fireball bouncing around the screen, if the player catches it they will score highly on the other hand if the fireball hits the player it's game over.</p>
<p>The game can be played in colour or in monochrome, has a high score table, and is controlled via joystick or keyboard</p>

<p><em>Astrocounter of Crescents</em> is set in 2095 and the world is shaken by a war between the SpaceWorld Community and the Earth Liberation Front over control over Earth and orbit. Also two corporations compete in the field of space colonization. The player takes the role of the mech pilot Lin Seo who works for one of these corporations - but soon things go very wrong... The story is told in dialogue windows.</p>
<p>This is a side-scrolling action game. The player controls the mech which can jump and attack. The focus is on melee combat: the standard attack is stabbing and by holding down the button, it charges up into a more damaging attack with a wider range. The mech also holds a limited amount of bombs which are used as a ranged attack. During the levels, the player moves from left to right while facing many enemies, including the occasional boss fight, and avoiding dying because of taking too much damage. There are unlimited continues, but no save function.</p>

<p><em>Air Traffic Control</em> is a shareware, single player, simulation based on Chicago's Midway Airport.</p>
<p>Planes must be guided through the Chicago airspace, guided into a safe landing and successful take-offs. Aircraft are of two types, those which follow Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and those which follow Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and each type needs to be treated differently.  </p>
<p>The centre of the screen represents the airport radar, around this are six coloured dialogue boxes, yellow for example contains the last incoming messages from each plane, the blue box has details if planes in a holding pattern and so-on.
All on screen information is coded so <br>
<em>"57e:PTO co 330 rway 22R",</em><br>
in the yellow box means <br>
<em>Flight 57E requests permission to take off, Course 330 degrees, Runway 22R".</em></p>
<p>When the game starts the player sets game parameters that govern the number of aircraft that can be expected and the frequency at which they will appear. Even though the game is played in 'compressed time' the manual reckons that a plane will take up to twenty minutes to process through to completion.</p>
<p>Points are scored for successful take-offs and landings and are lost for delays, near misses and more. The player's score is displayed as they exit, there is no high score table</p>

<p>In <em>Atomia Akorny</em>, the player works for Count Akorny of Transylvania. The ancient crown of the family was stolen and now someone has to bring it back. Because the reward is the hand of the count's daughter (and punishment for cowardice is jail), the player moves forward into the dark woods...</p>
<p>The player interacts with the game by typing commands into the parser. However, it is relatively simple and, by the author's admission, only knows a few verbs. Puzzles are typically solved by collecting and using items.</p>

<p>In <em>The Awe-Chasm</em>, the player takes the role of Snatch and Crunch which visit the Awe-Chasm in search for treasure. And that is also the whole extend of the background story: the goal is simply to find all treasure and earn all 500 points.</p>
<p>In order to solve puzzles, the player writes sentences into the parser. The player can switch between the two characters which have different abilities (Crunch is a "monolithic mutant" and Snatch a "pokey pervert") and can interact, e.g. Crunch can pick up Snatch. This is required to solve some puzzles. The game features sexual humour.</p>

<p>As with most games of this genre commands are usually two word affairs, 'Examine Sign' 'Enter Building' and so on. Some common commands such as directions, up and down can be shortened to single keys n, s, w, e, u, &amp; d. Similarly there are keywords such as 'Building' which will take the player to that location from anywhere in the game as long as they are above ground and not lost in the forest. </p>
<p>The game has, naturally, no graphics at all but it does have a save game feature. When fully explored the player should have found 134 locations and should have scored 350 points.</p>

<p>The game is played with the mouse, sound is optional and the AI opponent has four difficulty settings. The shareware game has four levels while the registered game has two further and more difficult levels.</p>

<p><em>Balloons</em> is a very simple game aimed at very young children with the aim of teaching them that computers can be fun.</p>
<p>The game is as simple as the player hitting a key, the game then draws a balloon of random colour and size. All keys make a sound when pressed so playing simple tunes is an activity the child can do. The child can also use the up and down arrow keys, hitting the DOWN ARROW causes the balloon to shrink while the UP ARROW causes the balloon to grow and eventually pop whereupon it makes a sound and releases a lovely rainbow.
- On systems with EGA &amp; VGA monitors, pressing G,B,R,Y,W makes green, blue, red, yellow or white balloons
- On systems with CGA monitors, pressing the Y, G, R keys makes yellow, green or red balloons</p>

<p><em>The Banyon Wars</em> is a single player, shareware, Risk variant.</p>
<p>In this implementation the player takes on the computer across a chain of islands. There are three races, the Cronons, the Tabors and the Hilites all of whom are battling for control of the Banyon Island chain. The human player always plays as the Cronons who play as light blue.   </p>
<p>After a few configuration questions the game sets up the game by assigning armies to each of the island territories. Each race then takes turns to plan and action their strategy. In their turn each race distributes new armies, launches attacks and, at the end of an attack phase, they may make some troop movements.  </p>
<p>One unusual feature of this game is the inclusion of random events that may / may not occur during a game, these include catastrophes like earthquakes, flooding, volcanoes rebellions and good weather which increases the number of armies produced by some territories.  </p>
<p>Another uncommon feature occurs when the player is eliminated, they are then given the option of conceding the game or letting the computer complete the game</p>

<p>The player chooses between the role of Billy the Kid or Garrett which changes their goals, e.g. as Billy the Kid the player needs to build up an outlaw army. During the game, the next destination is chosen through an overhead map, e.g. the city of Santa Fe or a camp of Native Americans. In cities, the player can move, enter different buildings and talk to people in order to receive hints what to do next (sometimes hints are also received when entering one of the other locations on the map). Some people need to be bribed with money which can be earned with certain actions like robbing a bank. Often the character has to engage in action sequences, e.g. a shootout in which crosshairs are moved over the screen to shoot enemies as soon as they leave their cover. When the basic goal is reached, the game culminates in a shootout between Billy the Kid and Garrett.</p>

<p>At the end of the last round the judges rule on the winner.<br>
The game is entirely keyboard controlled and it keeps rankings for each boxer.</p>

<p><em>AllegroHack</em> is a graphical user interface for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/820/nethack/">NetHack</a> which is built with the Allegro software library to draw large (32x32 pixels) true-colour tiles in high-resolution SVGA modes. It also enhances the game by adding various visual effects, a graphical interface with a minimap, and different graphics for male and female player characters.</p>
<p><em>AllegroHack</em> does not alter gameplay mechanics, its releases tailored to match the most recent version of vanilla <em>NetHack</em> at the time.</p>

<p><em>Word Munchers</em> is an installment in the <a href="/search/?q=Muncher+series">Munchers series</a> focused on vowel sounds. The player moves his muncher creature on a board, the task is to eat the right words with the same vowel sound as a word shown at the top of the screen. Sometimes, unfriendly creatures called Troggles enter the playfield. They come in different types with different patterns and abilities, and running into them depletes Muncher lives, as does eating incorrect words. Occasionally, safety squares appear which offer some temporary protection. It's possible to make some adjustments to the game, such as the difficulty by using the management options.</p>

<p><em>Contract Bridge</em> is a single player, shareware, implementation of the card game of the same name.</p>
<p>The player always plays as the South hand. The game, which uses US style practices uses the Goren Point-Count method for hand evaluation and recognises these conventions; Short Club Openers, No Trump Weak Signal Bids, Preemptive Opening bids, Stayman, Take-Out Doubles, and Blackwood though any or all of these conventions can be turned off.   </p>
<p>The game opens with a suit bid on hands that have thirteen or fourteen points and a four card suit, or sixteen to eighteen points for a one no trump bid. After each hand the player can replay it, review it, or rotate the hands and replay it.  </p>
<p>The game is mouse or keyboard controlled. The registered version has a save/load feature, a reporting feature allowing hands to be compared, and a function that allows players to construct hands and then play them.</p>

<p>A next-generation energy source, "NF43", has brought a new age of prosperity to the United Earth (UE). This substance, with its high energy density, can be extremely destructive in the wrong hands, so an international body is established to regulate it. However, crisis mounts when a top UE minister steals a large quantity of NF43, in a false-flag operation that implicates the guardians themselves. As an enraged world mobilizes against the disgraced countries, the culprit defects to 'Red NOIA' (apparently a future communist block). To prevent global war, an experimental robot--the NF43-powered <em>FR-Silver</em>--is deployed to infiltrate the commie HQ and retrieve the stolen material.</p>
<p>Instead of a scrolling shoot-'em-up like previous <em>Fox Ranger</em> games, what we get here is a mecha platformer like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56704/zyclunt/">Zyclunt</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/54773/genocide-2-master-of-the-dark-communion/">Genocide 2</a>, with a humanoid robotic war machine hacking and slashing its way through a series of stages swarming with hostile machinery. The robot is equipped with some special moves, plus a jetpack, which can extend jumps in mid-air; in a couple of stages it also allows the Ranger to fly, for a short interlude that recalls the series' past. Three skill levels are available.</p>

<p><em>TetRAM</em> is a small, memory-resident (TSR) <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> game: working around the single-tasking nature of DOS, it loads itself into RAM and can be started later at any time. The first commercial Tetris had already included such a feature, but this version achieves other goals: a tiny memory footprint (4KB plus change), and the ability to play <em>without</em> suspending the background program.</p>
<p>When invoked (from a 80x25 text-mode screen), the program greys out the current background, and starts a Tetris game on top of it. The familiar rules apply: falling blocks can be moved, rotated and arranged to create solid horizontal lines across the pit; full lines are eliminated, and the pile must be kept from growing all the way to the top.</p>
<p>The game keeps count of completed lines, and the more you score - the faster it gets. Meanwhile the background program continues to run, and can even receive input, except for the four cursor keys used by the game.</p>

<p><em>Fit Up</em> is a variant of <a href="/search/quick?game=tetris">Tetris</a>.</p>
<p>Play against the computer or up to three human players, sharing the same computer screen. <em>Fit Up</em> features 40 levels, and has a built-in editor. There's even a story : during the 5th millennium, planet Earth is overpopulated and the "Fit Up Test" was chosen by Darwin (sic), the almighty computer, to handle this problem. If you pass the "Fit Up Test", you survive, otherwise ...</p>

<p>Like the first <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/54621/graviton/">Graviton</a> game, this is a physics-based shooter modeled after <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10492/gravitar/">Gravitar</a>, featuring a triangular spaceship with turn and thrust controls, whose flight is governed by inertia, gravity and acceleration. This time around there are 16 new planets, split up as before into four solar systems.</p>
<p>In space, the player contends with the sun's gravity, plus the occasional hostile flying saucer. Planets may be tackled in any order, but starting with the tougher ones awards more points. While planetside, gravity becomes a downward pull - the chief hazards (besides running out of gas) are enemy turrets, drifting mines (that deflect most incoming fire), and the terrain itself; a force shield can be employed for defense, and energy can be replenished at fuel dumps on the surface. To conquer a planet, all turrets must be destroyed.</p>
<p>The level is finished when all four solar systems are successfully reduced to ashes; subsequent levels up the ante with reversed gravity, invisible terrain, and eventually both at the same time! The registered version lets you choose your starting point, and adjust various game variables to tweak the difficulty level.</p>

<p>The demo version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/598/the-settlers-ii-veni-vidi-vici/">The Settlers II: Veni, Vidi, Vici</a> features a unique bonus scenario which is not found in the retail game. The scenario is called <em>Initial Contact</em>, similar to the second chapter from the full version's campaign, however the map is completely different. There are two computer opponents: a Viking tribe and a Nubian tribe.</p>
<p>The demo version also contains a tutorial scenario, which is identical to the first chapter of the retail campaign. Additionally, the demo version includes a non-interactive preview that illustrates the features of the game.</p>

<p><strong>Airstrike</strong> is a sidescrolling shooter featuring an Apache-like helicopter, taking part in a series of missions in a war between the 'North Atlantic Defence Alliance' and a country called 'Dosnovia'.  </p>
<p>You primary base is on an aircraft carrier off shore from Dosnovia, and you are given specific targets to take out during a mission. The enemy consists of soldiers carrying missiles, gunboats, AA guns, radar stations and missile batteries placed in and around the ordinary houses and woods inland, and a selective approach is recommended to gain most points on each mission. Bombing innocent trees counts as wanton destruction, and gives negative scores. The map wraps around after a stretch of land, and you end up back over your carrier, where you can land and automatically replenish your missile supplies and repair the helicopter if damaged.  </p>
<p>After completing a mission, you get a debriefing with positive citations and negative reprimands, if you damaged other than the enemy.  </p>
<p>If you fail a mission, you get an option to retry it. Giving up sends you halfway back to start from where you were in the mission list.  </p>
<p>There is a total of 21 missions in the game, which originally was intended as a sprite demo, but evolved into a full shareware game.</p>

<p><em>VW Sharan: Pack 'n Puzzle</em> is an advergame made to promote the first generation of the Volkswagen Sharan. The goal is to put stuff (people, animals, objects) into the van and arrange it so everything fits in. Some things need to be combined in order to take lesser space in the car, for example you can put a small child in a baby carriage. There are five levels in all. The idea behind it is to show how many space a Sharan has to offer.</p>

<p>The objective of this aerial racing simulation is to complete a lap around the course as quickly as possible. You steer using an elaborate set of flight controls to work the different systems on your plane. The scenery and your opponent are shown in 3D shaded polygon rendering, and your cockpit view may be turned and zoomed.</p>
<p>Any race can be recorded, saved and played back at will. Another unusual feature (for 1985) is the two-player experience: <em>Pylon Racer</em> is one of the early forerunners in online play, allowing two racers to compete remotely in real-time - if both of them own 1200bps auto-answering modems, that is. In the absence of such luxury equipment, another player can load your saved flight data, and race against your recorded performance.</p>
<p>Two skill levels are available. There's also an optional "Laser Tag" mode, where the two opponents chase each other around the sky and try to score "hits" on each other using laser guns.</p>

<p><em>Fuzzy Worm</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/141/centipede/">Centipede</a>-style shooter, very similar to the arcade original. Once again, a pastoral mushroom patch plays unlikely host to the casual mass destruction of small animals. Your gun is free to move through the bottom section of the playfield, and your mission is to defend your little slice of nature from vermin violation.</p>
<p>The multi-segmented worm weaves a winding path in your general direction; if it reaches the bottom alive, new segments may appear. Once you finish it off, a bleeping 1-bit rendition of <em>La Cucaracha</em> will escort you to the next wave. Your other enemies are the spider, the mushroom-dropping flea, and the poisonous scorpion: you earn points by consigning them to gooey death, but each shot costs a point, so you'll have to make them count.</p>
<p>The game comes in six difficulty levels and in two different versions - one in graphics mode, the other in text mode, so users of the original IBM MDA aren't left out in the cold.</p>

<p><em>Meltdown</em> is a first-person shooter game that was released by <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/pie-in-the-sky-software">Pie in the Sky Software</a> to showcase its 3D Game Creation System.</p>
<p>The main objective of the game is to escape from an unspecified compound. In order to do this, the player needs to obtain the elevator key, which is protected by an energy barrier. Several weapons can be found to combat the guards, including a shotgun, a machine gun and grenades.</p>
<p>The game finishes once the player reaches the elevator. There is also a slide show that demonstrates various features of the 3D Game Creation System.</p>

<p><em>British Square</em> is a single player, strategy game that is played against the computer on a 5x5 grid. </p>
<p>Players take turns placing pieces on to the grid until neither has a valid move remaining. There are only two rules:* The first move of the game may not be to the centre square.</p>
<ul>
<li>A player cannot move to a square that faces another player's piece</li>
</ul>
<p>The winner is the player who placed the most pieces, they score the difference between the number of pieces they placed and the number placed by their opponent. The winner of a match is the first to score seven points</p>
<p>The game has music and a command-line parameter to play in 'easy' mode.</p>

<p><em>BrainStorm Pro</em> is a single player, shareware, puzzle game.</p>
<p>The player is shown a screen which contains blocks with coloured arrows on them. The objective is to line these up so that all blocks of the same colour are touching, when this happens the blocks disappear, when all blocks disappear the level is complete. This being a puzzle game there are obstacles to be overcome such as tiles which change the direction of gravity.</p>
<p>There are twenty levels in the shareware version of the game and one hundred and seventy levels in the registered version. On completion of a level the player is given a password so that they can restart future gaming sessions at the next level. The game has music and is entirely mouse controlled.</p>

<p><em>Buick Dimensions</em> is a piece of automotive advertisement software that contains within it a nine hole golfing game based on the Buick Classic at the Westchester Country Club.  </p>
<p>The game is entirely keyboard controlled using left/right arrow keys to aim, up/down keys to change clubs and a two-touch power bar system to control the shot.</p>

<p><em>The Blue Planet 2000</em> is a 4X game and could be described as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/585/sid-meiers-civilization/">Civilization variant</a>. The game starts in 6000 B.C. and the player controls a nation during its way through history. The faction expands over the planet (either Earth or a randomly generated environment) by founding new cities and interacting with other factions either with diplomacy or force. Other important aspects are resource management, keeping the citizens happy and researching new developments until the nation is ready for space travel. The handling is mostly number and icon based, e.g. the icons on the world map are moved by pressing directional arrows on the menu bar.</p>

<p><em>Daily Double Horse Racing</em> is a gambling game for 1-4 players, where each player bets virtual money on horses, both for simple win/place/show for bets on one horse, and for two-horse bets - exacta/parlay/quinella/daily double.  </p>
<p>Players enter their bets at a bookmakers desk, with some information based from the racing tables and the manual, and when all players are done you watch the races from the side of the course.  </p>
<p>Each player starts off with an equal amount of $100-$500 chosen at the start.  </p>
<p>It's possible to gamble in up to ten races every 'day' with six horses and twelve jockeys in each race, taken from a selection of 180 horses, all described in detail in a racing newspaper that comes with the game.  </p>
<p>The horse performances/statistics are not updated after each race, only the printed paper is used to calculate odds for the coming races.  </p>
<p>The track length and which horses participates in each race is randomly selected, while the track condition is player selectable from dry/muddy/turf.</p>

<p><em>Fort Apache</em> is a turn-based strategy game set in the Wild West, graphically similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/32027/the-charge-of-the-light-brigade/">The Charge of the Light Brigade</a> or <a href="/search/?q=Cohort:+Fighting+for+Rome">Cohort: Fighting for Rome</a>. The player is a new captain at Fort Apache - America's fortress. He commands groups of soldiers (up to 44 units under his command), and his forces fight against Indians, Mexicans, or thieves. He gives commands that the soldiers perform after clicking the turn button. Possible actions, like movement, shooting, rearrangement or dismount, are available from the sidebar.</p>

<p>This unofficial add-on disc contains levels, cheats and editors for:* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a></p>

<p>This retail compilation contains:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/search/?q=The+Perfect+General">The Perfect General</a></li>

<p>In this shoot 'em-up the player controls a gun mounted on a tower and the aim is to shoot down as many airplanes and parachutists as possible before they kill you. The game features four levels and a variety of weapons such as a regular gun, homing missiles and a flame thrower.</p>

<p><em>Poker Broker</em> is a single player, freeware, poker game.</p>
<p>This poker game is similar to 'jacks or better' video poker. The player stars with $5000 and can bet as much as they want on a hand. They are then dealt five cards and can chose to swap any, all, or none of them. There is then a second deal and any hand with less than a pair of jacks loses, hands with a pair of honour cards get their stake back and above that they win multiples of their stake.</p>
<p>There is no save game feature and no high score table</p>

<p><em>Notyet</em> is a single player, shareware, keyboard controlled, tile matching puzzler.</p>
<p>The game area consists of a series of concentric rings. In the centre of these rings is the players gun. The rings rotate and by shooting, and hitting, arrows on the surrounding rings the player can alter the direction in which they rotate.</p>
<p>Also on the rings are coloured tiles in the form of trigrams, by shooting the tiles the player can push them to a ring that is further out. When two tiles of the same colour but on adjacent rings come together they disappear scoring points and giving the player's gun more energy. The objective of the game is to clear all tiles from the level so that the player can advance to the next, the full game has seventeen worlds.</p>
<p>Obviously there are going to be hazards, firing the gun costs energy; pushing a tile to another ring where there is no room for it destroys the tile and costs a lot of energy; black holes appear and eat tiles and so on.</p>

Command & Conquer: Teil 1 - Der Tiberiumkonflikt (Limitierte Sonderedition)

<p>This limited special edition of <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer+Teil+1:+Der+Tiberiumkonflikt">Command &amp; Conquer</a> matches the standard edition of the game, but contains an additional mouse pad in the box. To differentiate it from the standard release the game box got two additional stickers: Once on the front to tell about the included mouse pad, once on the back where a sticker with a new EAN number was put over the original one.</p>

<p><em>Arka</em> is the result of a programming exercise in implementing the popular paddle-vs.-wall hit <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1087/arkanoid/">Arkanoid</a>: move a paddle left and right across the bottom of the screen, keep the ball bouncing by deflecting it, and take out all the bricks to clear the level. Lose all three balls, and it's game over. The first three levels of <em>Arkanoid</em> are included, but without such things as enemies or power-ups - effectively stripping the game back down to its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9001/breakout/">Breakout</a> origins.</p>

<p>French demogroup Eclipse takes on <em>Minesweeper</em> with its own variation on the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/8419/minesweeper-variants/">theme</a>. The 8x8 game grid hides an adjustable number of mines - 10 by default. Each square can be uncovered to reveal its contents, or flagged as containing a mine. If an uncovered square turns up empty, the number of adjacent mines will be shown; if a mine is uncovered, it will promptly detonate, losing the game (and ripping an appropriately large hole through the screen). The goal is to strategically clear the field by locating and flagging the mines, without causing an explosion.</p>
<p>Version 2.0 of <em>Demineur</em> expands the game with the addition of music, a different color scheme, and a facility for multiple game modes (which apparently remained unused).</p>

<p>A demoscene-flavored adaptation of the Peg Solitaire puzzle: a board with a cross-shaped arrangement of holes, some of which are occupied by pegs. The only legal move is to 'jump' a peg over a neighboring peg into a hole at the other side, which clears away the intervening peg. The board is solved by removing all pegs except one; if all valid moves are exhausted before this happens, you lose - and have to start over. <em>Poof</em> offers ten levels of play, each with a different initial board layout.</p>

<p>This multiplayer Snake-type game is a remake of a shareware <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/72331/viper/">Amiga game</a> of the same name. All six(!) human players gang up on the same keyboard, controlling their ever-growing snakes by steering them left or right. The six snakes start out at random points throughout the playfield, and can travel at any angle, without the common restriction of 90-degree turns.</p>
<p>Curiously, as each viper grows, it develops naturally-occurring holes along its body. Players rack up points by passing through these gaps (either their own, or those of their opponents); if a snake bumps into anything solid, it dies, and all remaining players score an additional point. Once all reptiles are deceased, the highest-scoring player wins the round, and all players' scores are carried over to the next one.</p>

<p><em>Greedy</em> gives <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/138/pac-man/">Pac-Man</a> an enhanced makeover, even while retaining the core concept: fill your bottomless appetite by cleaning out mazes full of dots, while evading the pursuing ghosts. The power pellets still allow our hero to top the food-chain for a limited time and hunt down the enemies, but dozens of other power-ups are new on the menu - from speed changes to invincibility, score multipliers, wildcards and a random bonus slot machine. There are power-downs, too, which invert your controls, stop you from eating, and cause other assorted mischief.</p>
<p>The yellow, rotund eater is armed with a limited (but rechargeable) speed booster, and can gain extra lives by completing matching groups of colorful crystals. Different speed and skill settings can be selected; every level boasts a completely new maze layout, and the DOS version complements this with a fully-functional level editor to customize things even further.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Coon Can</em> is a card game for one person against the computer, based on a card game considered an precursor of Rummy.  </p>
<p>The game is played with a 40-card deck, with the 8-10 cards removed.  </p>
<p>The original 'Coon Can' card game was described in the mid 19th century, and can have 2-6 players, though here on the PC it's only two, you and the computer.  </p>
<p>The name 'Coon Can' is thought to be a corruption of 'Conquian', though the actual game origins is disputed.</p>
<p>Only the keyboard and function keys are used for playing, and there are some tunes that plays on the speaker during game play (there is a mute function).  </p>
<p>The rules of the game are explained in-game, and a demo game can be activated where the computer plays against itself.  </p>
<p>In short, the dealer hands out ten cards to each player, and then puts the rest of the cards in a draw deck, backside up.  </p>
<p>One card is placed face up in a discard pile, and the players take turns in picking a card from either the discard pile or the draw deck, in order to make melds of three or more cards in sequences or matching cards from their hand, until one of the player has placed all his cards in melds.  </p>
<p>Next deal the role of dealer goes to the next player, and the process is repeated.  </p>
<p>Points are counted of face valued of cards 1-7, Kn-Q-K cards are worth ten points each.  </p>
<p>The betting stake at the start of the game is 1-999 out of a maximum of 9999.</p>

<p><em>Richard Longhurst and the Box that Ate Time</em> is a humorous point-and-click adventure game. The player controls Richard Longhurst, a garishly dressed individual who one day finds himself in an abandoned zoo without memories of what happened, and afterward keeps being tossed forward and backward in time - all because of the titular antagonist, The Box, whose schemes must be foiled. </p>
<p>The game offers controls standard to games made with Adventure Game Studio: there are several commands - walk, examine, interact, talk - which can be cycled with the right mouse button or with a menu on top of the screen, and there is an inventory where items can be kept.</p>

<p>The Apollo lunar lander had just entered orbit at an altitude of 120 miles above the surface of the moon, when its computer decided to fail catastrophically. You take manual control of the capsule, and your job (as in most <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6716/lunar-lander-variants/">Lunar Lander games</a>) is to land it safely on the surface. In this case, your only control is over the fuel burn rate, which determines the upward thrust necessary to counter gravity and to help the capsule land in one piece.</p>
<p>Burn rate must be carefully adjusted in real time, while keeping an eye on current altitude, velocity, weight and remaining fuel. The physics are recalculated once per second, and the lander's final impact velocity determines your success: 1.2 MPH or less is a perfect landing; more than 60 MPH will blast a new lunar crater (and get you deservedly chewed out for killing the crew).</p>

<p>IBM's first BASIC Compiler for its PC (v1.00) comes bundled with a demonstration program, which succinctly goes by the name of <em>Target</em>. As might be inferred, this is a shooting gallery-type game: the player controls a ground-based mobile gun that can move left and right, trying to line up shots and hit the targets that cross the top half of the screen.</p>
<p>Only one shell may be fired from each possible location on the floor; once it's gone, you cannot fire from that exact spot again. Your targets come in different sizes: the smaller they are, the faster they fly - and the more points you score if you can hit them. If you've beaten the previous high score when the allotted time runs out, you can proudly enter your name as the top record holder... at least until the end of the session.</p>

<p><em>Goplanes</em> is a four-way scrolling shooter inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Sopwith">Sopwith</a>, which puts you at the controls of an old-school, early 20th century fighter plane with the general objective of blowing things up. Your aircraft is capable of flashy (but useful) moves - climbing, diving, flipping over and making 360-degree turns; enemy fire can take it out in three hits, but so can the ground. In addition to the basic frontal mounted gun, various weapons can be collected for more firepower: missiles, spread shots and dropbombs.</p>
<p>Three missions are included: first off, you'll have to find and destroy some oil containers; then it's on to taking down some zeppelins, and finally, a snowstorm battle against a heavy artillery unit. As in <em>Sopwith</em>, there are innocent bystanders too, but here you actually gain points by gunning down the poor saps... whether human or animal.</p>

<p>In <em>Vor Terra</em> the player takes on the role of a Knight, who is attempting to restore order to his land and become its ruler,
 after the old King died and the kingdom turned into a wasteland in chaos, it's inhabitants now suffering from plagues, thieves and monsters.  </p>
<p>In order to accomplish this the knight must search the land for a 'Rainbow Egg', that has been prophesized to be the key to restoring peace.  </p>
<p>Traveling through the land while fighting enemies, talking to people for hints of the fabled egg's location and searching; 'leaving no tombstone unturned', will hopefully help you get you the throne and be King if you succeed. (Or at least a rainbow omelet.)  </p>
<p>The games design is similar to the authors earlier game <a href="/search/?q=shape-shifter__">Shape Shifter</a>, only now with a human protagonist.</p>

<p>In <em>Dismal Passages</em> you are cast in the role of a youth who lives in a land called 'Drelg Artavia', which is being harrowed by evil Wraiths from the NetherRealm.  </p>
<p>In the grisly text introduction, your home is invaded during the night by three wraiths who attack and kill both your parents and your sister, but before they can kill you too, a grey wolf-like character interrupts the assailants and manages to drive them off, while itself is mortally wounded.  </p>
<p>Using it's last breath, the wolf asks you to get revenge on the head wraith called 'Vaargerold' / 'Vaalgerald' for the death of himself and your family, and you set out next morning to achieve this.  </p>
<p>The game is a shareware divided in two parts, the first available as a download, and the second part received by mail when registering the first part.</p>
<p>The player starts outside his own house, in the local village, though the house has been cleansed of last nights grisly events.  </p>
<p>The game is played on a series of screens stretching left and right of the player, with buildings that can be entered through their doors, showing its occupants and furnishings on a single screen. You can talk to the people, using a menu for one-line generic questions with equally short, but varying answers, sometimes providing useful clues to the story or vital items to progress.  </p>
<p>The game screen is divided into four areas, the top half showing you walking left/right in the linear landscape, bottom right shows your health and collected gold, bottom left showing enemy encounters, while the mid bottom is a small cutout of the area closest to your character, though it has no function according to the descriptions. Interaction is all through keyboard, with speaker beeps accompanying your movement steps.  </p>
<p>The starting village is small, and the inhabitants are few, but leaving it one passes through woods and fields, and eventually reaches other villages and cities. The in between wilderness areas are infested with robbers, monsters, plague carriers and other unwanted company, which can be fought or avoided if need be, or possibly talked to if they are deemed harmless. (The enemies attack you on sight).  </p>
<p>Defeating an enemy gives some loot gold, but can also give you a disease if you are unlucky, and you need a medic to heal you.  </p>
<p>Weapons can be bought from the blacksmith, though you have a simple dagger to start with in your own house, if you search for it.  </p>
<p>There are priest in temples/churches, herbalist shops and also conjurers you meet and greet early on, though the use of magic is frowned upon by some of the more officious inhabitants.  </p>
<p>Properly beefed up with weapons armor and magic, plus collecting the three objects required to get into the NetherRealm, the player can then proceed to get his revenge on the Wraiths.  </p>
<p>The second part of the game, as described in the included documents, are taking place twenty years after this first part, and the land is again menaced, this time from sea monsters from a city risen out of the 'Uthrecian Sea', and you are again required to save the land and oust the attackers.  </p>

<p><em>Barney Hunter</em> is a shooting range game where the player shoots at Barneys (from the American children's television series Barney &amp; friends). Why? Because Barney is Satan and he has possessed your son. There are four weapons to choose among: pistol, sub-machine gun, shotgun and a futuristic energy rifle. Once a weapon has been chosen the player has to hit as many Barneys as possible before the time runs out. Game time can be set to 60 seconds or 3 minutes.</p>

<p><em>Big Guns</em> is a battleship duel game where two Iowa-class battleships fights.</p>
<p>One player controls USS New Jersey and the other player (or computer) controls USS Iowa. Each battleship carries 64 planes of which 3 at a time can be used to attack the other battleship. The game also features USS Harry E. Yarnell, USS Biddle, USS Richmond K. Turner, USS Josephus Daniels, Titanic, Olympic and Lusitania. The three civilian ships fills the function of depot ships and will supply the combatants with fuel and new planes. In addition to the main guns and planes each battleship also has 99 Harpoon missiles that can be used to sink the enemy. The number of kills to win the game can be set between 1 and 20.</p>

<p><em>Banzai</em> is a simplistic shooter game. The player controls a dug-in tank and must shoot at the attacking soldiers/tanks. Enemies moves in from the right and once the enemy soldiers reaches your tank or it is hit buy an enemy tank it is game over. The player can only adjust the angle of the tanks barrel, not the velocity of the projectile.</p>

<p><em>Elkinloor</em> is the name of the main character in an adventure/action game set in a land called 'Vol Terra' / 'Vor Terra' in which the player takes the role of an half-man/half elk-like creature living in a forest with others of his kind.  </p>
<p>Storyline: Trouble has brewed between the Elkin tribes and their enemies Humans outside the forest, though an uneasy truce has been kept, until suddenly the Forest Princess has disappeared, and the Elkins now believe she was kidnapped by the Humans.  </p>
<p>The unrest is now rising, and if you cannot find the Princess in time, war will break out between Human and Elkin tribes.  </p>
<p>You play this game as a graphical adventure with predefined commands accessed through keyboard/letter menus. The player is moving through a forest environment, following a path through what amounts to a large maze, battling all kind of creatures met on the path, while gaining money in the process  </p>
<p>There are a few teleporting locations, looking like stone circle 'henges', where you can quickly move from one area of the forest to another by inscribing runes. There is no map screen, but you need to manually map the forest paths not to get lost, since all the backgrounds are repeated.  </p>
<p>There is a day/night cycle, time seems to advance as you move from one screen to another, and night time results in some types of enemies becoming more frequent, especially ghouls, who can give the player character a disease that needs to be cured.  </p>
<p>Friendly/neutral human characters are inside houses, and may give good advice, or ask the player to leave, regardless of which the player may loot the house of it's valuables, like money, medical kits and arrows. Houses and shops are spread out through the forest, and accessed on individual screens  </p>
<p>The player character starts out with a dagger, which is he default weapon after loading a saved game. Other weapons and protective armor may be bought in stores, provided the player has enough money accumulated from his battles or looting.  </p>
<p>As the player talks to the inhabitants of the forest, hints to the location of the Forest Princess is given, and some keys have to be located to gain access to the place she is kept.  </p>

<p>In <em>Shape Shifter</em> you play as a shapeshifter living in a desert land called 'Drelg Artavia' which is being besieged by Creatures of Chaos invading through a rip in space/time.  </p>
<p>The ultimate goal of the game is for your character (and all inhabitants of the land) to achieve admittance into a castle and ruling council called 'ABSOMAL FXILE', and this requires you to show enlightenment to be accepted.   </p>
<p>Your knowledge statistics is the key thing here, but the way to the castle also requires valiant fighting and mystic abilities to succeed.  </p>
<p>The player character can alter itself to three shapes: Tiger, Snake and Mouse.  </p>
<p>These shapes have different speed and strength abilities, and the shape also affects the probability of random encounters.  </p>
<p>The environment is a desert savannah landscape, with small villages and lone buildings strewn about, surrounded by water.   </p>
<p>While moving in the open landscape, you will have random encounters with various animals 'Creatures of Chaos' who attack you, but also with some helpful fairies who give you some health potions.  </p>
<p>Moving to a village (or lone building) on the desert map, you can enter the village and there see a row of houses, which in turn can be entered and examined. There may be inhabitants in any private house, so you need to talk to a possibly empty room, to know if anyone is there and answers.  </p>
<p>In other houses there are merchants, healers, mystics or priests that are shown as figures inside the room, and they can be talked to or you can purchase wares from them. In some temples you can pray, but the result may vary, and is not always to your benefit.  </p>
<p>While using the tiger shape, you are strong and slow, and will often be attacked in random encounters, which might seem bad, but this is a way of gaining credits to pay for the merchants products. The snake is faster, and has fewer encounters, and the mouse is fastest and have almost no encounters; thus cannot gain much credits.   </p>
<p>Your health points stay the same when shape-shifting, so if wandering the desert at low health, it's best to avoid being attacked until you have healed up.  </p>
<p>Registering the game will also give you a second game called 'The Sun Demon', also set in the land of 'Drelg Artavia', being turned into a desert after the sun has been misaligned by a demon wanting to turn the lands into a hell of molten lava. Of course you will now be required to save this world.</p>

<p><em>The Darkest Night</em> is a graphical adventure game with a horror theme, set in the land of 'Tilorm'.
The protagonist is a young antropomorhic fox called 'Rolan', who is lost in a forest after an evening of heavy drinking with his friends, celebrating Hallows Eve.  </p>
<p>While sleeping it off in the woods, he is awakened by a tattered and bloody yelling man, who comes running up to you, collapsing but
managing to tell you of an evil cult trying to release the Demon Yaxagiraw tonight, a netherworld being who was imprisoned in an old Abbey hundreds of years ago, but who could be released again during Hallows night, when the souls of the damned are close to our dimension.  </p>
<p>Having delivered his warning, the man dies and leaves you to prevent the cultists from achieving their goal.  </p>
<p>The game is a graphical adventure with simple puzzles, using commands and objects from a menu to interact with the environment.
The menu is brought up using the Enter key, and the commands are used by entering a single letter from a list: U(se)/G(et)/T(alk)/O(pen)/I(nventory)
Movement is by arrow keys. Getting or Using and object brings up an Inventory list, where the currently held objects are listed, tagged with numbers or letters. Each object has only one function, but can be reused many times for testing it on a puzzle, they don't wear/run out.  </p>
<p>The whole adventure takes place in a forest, where the protagonist walks around on a path, sometimes encountering traps or dangerous creatures, and sometimes finds objects or buildings where the inhabitants of the forest - usually friendly animals and men, sometimes less friendly.  </p>
<p>The forest is filled with 'jump-scare' traps, which can be avoided by carefully listening to the sounds in every location.
Usually the only thing Rolan hears, is the wind through the trees, but sometimes other things are heard, and proceeding forward at unawares usually results in an immediate and grisly death. The items found in the houses and on the path are key to bypassing most traps, though some of them have no way of dispelling them, but must be avoided. Mapping out the forest path is suggested, since the graphics repeat and the map is a maze.  </p>
<p>The game is a two-part shareware adventure which ends with you stopping the cultists, and registering the first get you the second part, called 'The Darkest Night part II: The Vendetta', through mail.</p>

<p>This 1995 version of <em>Dismal Passages</em> is a remake of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=dismal-passages">Dismal Passages</a> from 1992.  </p>
<p>The remake changes both the background story and location name from the original, and also the controls and gameplay is changed from a turn-based rpg into a more action-oriented adventure game, with graphics similar to the later 1996 game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=darkest-night">The Darkest Night</a>  </p>
<p>The game now has more complex music and sound for action events and general ambience, and has an optional mouse interface, though the control implementation is not quite optimal, and you still can use the keyboard controls, if you wish.  </p>
<p>This a game with action elements, where the computer speed affects the gameplay, with randomly occurring battles that needs quick reactions to survive.  </p>
<p>Mapping is essential, since the game area is a maze of repeating and very similar looking forest paths.  </p>
<p>You have one save-game slot, which can only be used outside buildings.</p>
<p>The updated background story now has a setting in the land of 'Vor Terra' (also used in several other games by the same author), where an unspeakable evil has taken hold of the land.  </p>
<p>You play a young man called 'Brael', married to a girl named 'Trenna', the both of you living as farmers, planting and harvesting as usual, when one day you got angry at a bird picking your newly sown seeds, and threw a stone at it. The bird transformed into an evil witch who cursed you and your family before disappearing, and the day after all your crops have failed, your animal are taken sick, requiring you to put them down. Coming back into your house, you find your wife in a fever, and none of your neighbors can offer help against the curse.  </p>
<p>You start your game in your house, with your wife lying in bed, unconscious and suffering from the fever.  </p>
<p>Now your task is to wander out searching for a remedy for your wife's illness, find the witch and either be forgiven by - or get revenge against - the one who cursed your family and farm. Some items you may need on your way can be found in the house, but you have to search for them. Outside you will meet monsters and wild beasts, and you will have to travel far on the maze-like paths winding through the woods surrounding your house.  </p>
<p>Registering the game gets you the second part called: DISMAL PASSAGES Part II: The Horrible Wraith  </p>

<p>Yet another unlicensed clone of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/138/pac-man/">arcade smash</a>, written in BASIC, where the hungry hero sets out on a dot-devouring dash through a series of mazes. Per the usual routine, he is persecuted by a gang of four ghosts, who set out on patrols from their base in the center (though in this version they rather resemble little ASCII snakes); each maze has four strategically-positioned power pellets, which temporarily turns the ghosts into prey for the player. This version eschews such motivational awards as fruit bonuses, and the difficulty level remains fairly constant between mazes.</p>

<p>Your peaceful colony out in space was just minding its own business, when it suddenly came under attack by a marauding, cross-shaped alien vessel.  This unrelenting foe seems to have its eyes (and its lasers!) on the colony food stores, which must be protected at all costs; your only defense is a single ship, armed with a random number of torpedoes.</p>
<p>The invader can fire its lasers in four directions simultaneously - your shields can absorb one hit, but a second one is immediately fatal.  There are numerous ways to win the fight: a well-placed torpedo shot, a successful boarding (if you can get close enough), or just staying alive until the enemy wanders off.  On the other hand, if your ship is shot down, the food stations are destroyed, or even if you ditch your mission and wander off the screen yourself, the colony is kaput.</p>

<p>A simple pea-shooting simulation: each round starts with a target positioned randomly along the bottom of the screen.  At the top left is a pea, ready to be launched; the goal is to find the right velocity for the shot and hit the target precisely, in the fewest attempts possible.  The statistics box keeps track of the games played so far, displays a breakdown of the results, and calculates your average number of shots per successful hit - naturally, the lower the better.</p>

<p><em>Flyswat</em>, as the descriptive title conveys, simulates an everyday activity that's decidedly less <em>fun</em> than what's usually associated with games: the annoyance of being pestered by a housefly while sitting in your easy chair and trying to read a book! Seeking to end the distraction, you pull out your trusty flyswat and attempt to flatten the buzzing little pain-in-the-butt. This is done by moving a cursor across the screen, getting within swatting distance of the fly, and hitting space to do the grisly deed; the difficulty level determines how fast and unpredictable the fly will get. When you finally splatter the pest, you'll be scored by the time and number of swats it took you. Then you can continue your literary pursuits - no doubt feeling a little less irritated, and a little more bad-ass.</p>

<p><em>Wallbanger</em> is another ball-and-paddle game that follows the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9001/breakout/">Breakout</a> formula and gives the player a paddle, three balls, and a bunch of bricks to break. This binge of structural destruction driven by striking the flying ball with the paddle, bouncing it off the sides and into the three rows of bricks across the top. It is possible to control the ball's course somewhat by bouncing it off different sections of the paddle. If all three balls fall through the bottom of the screen (without being deflected by the paddle), it's game over; if you manage to tear the walls down completely, you'll be awarded the prestigious title of "wallbanger" - only to start again with zero points, since the game ends after a single level.</p>

<p>The well-known sliding block puzzle game is honored with another computerized treatment, written in BASIC.  In keeping with the original concept, the 4x4 board is populated with tiles numbered 1 to 15 and one empty space - the goal is to slide them around and shuffle them until the numbers are arranged in natural order, with the blank tile at the bottom right.  The number of moves made is counted and displayed at all times.</p>

<p>An <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6962/artillery-variants/">artillery game</a> for two human players, who get placed on both sides of a randomly-selected landscape and proceed to take turns lobbing high explosives at each other. Each side commands a gun company with 100 men: these unfortunate meat-shields tend to die even on a near-miss, and a direct hit will kill them all. Perhaps realizing that, one man deserts his post after each turn, on both sides. The first side to wipe out the opposing force is the victor - until the next battle.</p>
<p>Shots are fired by entering an angle and a velocity; the terrain is destructible, so craters can chip away at the landscape, or cause a player's gun to drop into the resulting pit. Ballistic trajectories are also affected by wind speed, which can be constant or variable (if variable, a difficulty level is chosen to determine the magnitude of the changes).</p>

<p>This is another variation on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/6716/lunar-lander-variants/">Lunar Lander</a>, where a rocket in free-fall must be guided to a safe landing on the lunar surface. As gravity takes its toll on the landing craft, it can be rotated in four directions in order to apply the desired thrust. Each push of the thrust button costs a unit of fuel - the first lander starts with 60, and each successive lander inherits the previous one's unused fuel, plus an extra 25 units. There's also an emergency thrust control, which applies a good upwards push (at a large cost of gas).</p>
<p>If the rocket makes it to a flat surface without incident, the player gets 250 points; a crash into uneven ground (or into another rocket!) will end the game. The top ten scores are recorded and saved.</p>

<p>In <em>Lunar Landing</em> the player gets to take manual control of moon lander capsules, and maneuver them to a safe touchdown on the surface by means of rocket thrust. Each lander starts out with a different bearing and velocity, and a full complement of fuel; the cursor keys apply thrust in four directions to adjust the rocket's trajectory.</p>
<p>For a proper landing, it must approach a flat section of the surface slowly enough to stay in one piece. Hit the ground too hard, veer off the screen, or run out of fuel in mid-flight - and the lander is toast. Each successful attempt boosts the level of challenge with a more uneven and dangerous landscape, and larger initial velocities for the rocket.</p>

<p><em>Switch</em> is a translation of an old brain-teaser, also known as the 'leapfrog puzzle'. The are a two sets of pegs on the board - five red ones on the left, and five green ones on the right, with a single space in the middle. The idea is to fully switch the positions of the two groups by moving one peg at a time, with restrictions: pegs can only be moved into the blank space, either by a single step or by leaping over another peg. Red pegs move only to the right, and green pegs move only to the left. The game keeps track of the number of moves made.</p>

<p><em>Target</em> is a simple game of marksmanship: as a series of hostile starships zoom nonchalantly across the screen, you attempt to get them within your crosshairs, so you can proceed to fry them with your trusty pair of lasers. You'll face off against five such enemies, and each one will take a somewhat different flight path; the four available skill levels determine the speed of the action. When you've had your five attempts, you will be verbally rewarded - or abused - based on your rate of success.</p>

<p>In this simple shooter, a city faces off against a never-ending succession of alien saucers that seem to have taken an interest in flying over its curiously-geometric skyline.  There's only a single gun to shoot them down with, and it is necessary to lead the target based on its varying altitude and velocity.  The UFOs themselves do not seem to mean any harm to the angular architecture below, and stoically attempt to gain passage without ever fighting back, so why they're being picked on is an open question.  Be that as it may, the city scores one point for each successful hit by the player; if a saucer gets away, it's one for the aliens.</p>

<p><em>Necrons</em> is a tactical war game with RPG elements set in an Eastern medieval kingdom of a low-fantasy world. The war is represented on a zoomed-out map, and units are ordered around to engage into attacks on enemies or conquer castles. Encounters are large scale battles and take place on a separate, more detailed screen, where the player commands regiments of soldiers. Different terrain types and slants factor into the strategy.</p>

<p><em>Jisaeneun Dal</em> takes place in medieval Korea, where a peasant boy Dusu has to save his love from the grasp of an arrogant noble's son who wants to marry her. The game is a 2D side-scrolling platform action game. The player can attack and block with a stick, throw a limited number of sickles and use a variety of magical spells to defeat the nobleman's henchmen.</p>

<p>This compilation contains three games:</p>
<ul>

</ul>

<p><em>Borderworld</em> is a two-part shareware adventure, where you play as a modern day archeologist who during the exploration of some underwater ruins, suddenly gets teleported to another world, where he is thrown up on a beach, and has to find his way back by exploring the surroundings, interacting with people he meets which seem to also be trapped humans from other time periods. There is also alien looking ruins, temples and artefacts to search and explore.  </p>
<p>The game is played almost entirely with a mouse, and you select actions and dialog text from a predefined command list.  </p>
<p>Movement is done by clicking on a compass rose, and locations are shown as dithered photographic images together with a text description, and an ambient sound clip. Sound is optional, and can be turned off.  </p>
<p>There is a map onscreen, although it does not show your location, just a general layout of the land you are exploring.  </p>
<p>The game is split into two parts, this first part has the subtitle 'Part I: The Arrival', and the second part is subtitled 'Part II: The Forgotten City' which is available by mail when registering the game. Registered owners also receives four older game titles by the same author.</p>

<p><em>Savage Future</em> is an action adventure (role-playing according to the author) game set in the far future (ca year 4537) in the land of Medigar, when the Furries are seen with mistrust, and even hunted by the humans, who are on the rise in the world. The world itself has undergone a nuclear holocaust, which has forced some humans underground, opened dimensional holes to demonic worlds, from which monsters are entering into Vor Terra, and as usual some people need others to blame, and the furries get to be scapegoats.  </p>
<p>The protagonist, Rolanfox, reappears from the earlier game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=darkest-night">The Darkest Night</a>, in the form of a time traveller from the past (year 2457), following the trail of his disappeared uncle Yowler, the inventor of a time machine. The timetravelling uncle was trying to change the future to prevent the extinction of the furries, that some zealot humans were blaming for a draught, but somehow he got lost some 2000 years in the future, and now Rolanfox will try to find and rescue him, and possibly help prevent the extinction himself.  </p>
<p>The main game screen is presented as an overview map, where the player character is represented as a small red dot, moving around and encountering either random enemies to fight, finding various food sources or visit locations like human or furry cities/villages, underground areas, caves or towers.  </p>
<p>While all creatures met in the wilderness are hostile, in the villages and cities there are friendly or neutral locals to chat to, bar-room gossip to listen to and healers and shops to get help and perishable items from.  </p>
<p>Talking to the locals, you get hints on what to do to prevent the impending disaster, and where to go and what items you need to search for your uncle.</p>
<p>The only weapon Rolanfox has is a gun - a contraption his lost uncle has brought back from his travels - which needs bullets, and while effective, these bullets must be bought in shops, for money.   </p>
<p>How to get money? Well, there are these zealot knights wandering in the wild, searching for furries to kill, and they are the only way to get money at the start. No other monster carries gold; but there are small stashes of money hidden in caves that may be found by wandering around fighting troll-like creatures, mutants from the past nuclear war - only you need to buy a light source to see underground, and possibly a map pointing out cave locations, so at the start you really need to bag these knights for their gold.  </p>
<p>The game is free, or donation-ware, and a second part was under development for release in 1999.</p>

<p><em>Viper</em> is a single-player shareware Snake variant.</p>
<p>You control a snake which tail grows as you feed him. Just avoid turning back on yourself and hitting "walls". The snake is controlled by the keyboard, you can also control the game speed and also toggle sound on or off. Advanced players will hit the F7 key to lengthen their <em>Viper</em>.</p>

<p>VGA Kix is yet another QIX-like, freeware, game. Draw/paint areas on the game board, without getting caught by sparks or the Kix.</p>
<p>The game features a two players mode and supports joysticks and game pads. Edward Mueller, its programmer, provides two utilities to make your own sounds and background pictures, using standard WAV and GIF files.</p>

<p><em>Tankgame</em> is a freeware clone of the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8851/combat/">Combat</a>. It features a two-players mode and supports joysticks. </p>
<p>Side notes : the game has sounds and is free but if you finish it and email the code from the 13th level to the author (Kirk Christiansen), he used to send extra codes and informations about a "deluxe version", with SoundBlaster support.</p>

<p><em>Get Lost!</em> is a spacey 3D maze game played from a first-person perspective: the shareware version has a selection of 8 mazes, while the registered version features over 50 of them. The various maze layouts fully exploit the third dimension, with ramps, slopes and multi-leveled platforms; you are confined to the path (no jumping or falling), but you can look up and down. Certain floor sections may trigger actions - on the spot or remotely - and modify the environment in certain ways, which is often a necessary part of the solution.</p>
<p>The competition is against the clock, and when a maze is completed, your performance is compared with a hypothetical ranking of whimsical creatures. To make things more interesting, each maze contains a secret - finding it will often involve invisible (or hard to find) walkways, or performing some kind of hidden action. Discovering enough secrets will unlock entirely new secret mazes, too.</p>

<p>A biblical game based on the chronicles of David, and his rise from lowly shepherd boy to the throne of the Kingdom of Israel.  The storyline is divided into chapters, covering different episodes of the future monarch's life: rescuing sheep from marauding beasts, fighting a duel with the Philistine champion Goliath, escaping a plot on his life by King Saul, proving his good intentions to the King, daringly sneaking into the camp and taking refuge in the hills, and finally saving his family from Amalekite captivity.</p>
<p>These levels must be completed in order, and each one is staged as an action sequence with its own challenges to overcome; if David "loses all heart" (that is, his health - represented by heart icons), he fails the mission and must start over. To avoid coming off as mere fun and entertainment, each level is followed by a quiz, where multiple-choice questions test the player's biblical knowledge for bonus points.</p>

<p><em>Plexu: The Time Travellers</em> is a DOS conversion of the Amiga <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/73035/plexu-the-time-travellers/">title of the same name</a>. The gameplay remains unchanged with only one significant change. Instead of a side-scrolling perspective the player sees the action divided into numerous single board locations with a level boss at the end. Plexu may walk, jump, use a single, double and supershot gun plus - killing all enemies on board - Smartbomb and temporary invulnerability. Between each level the player may purchase various extras in the Intergalactic Shop, including extra life or time, needed to complete subsequent stage. Fighting with the final stage boss requires targeting an opponent's head and avoiding numerous incoming missiles.</p>

<p>Written as an entry for the 100KB PC Game compo at the Inscene 2000 demoparty, <em>Out 'M' Up</em> is a simple futuristic scrolling shooter: blast your way through endless alien attacks without getting blasted yourself, and try to take down as many of the oncoming hostiles as possible, as they keep pouring out from the top of the playfield.</p>
<p>Your feisty little fighter ship can withstand a few hits from enemy fire, but once all power is gone - a life is lost. Some of the vanquished foes will drop power-ups, allowing you to upgrade your ammo type and firing speed. The alien assaults come in waves; when the final wave is done with, the game will loop back to the beginning.</p>

<p>A medieval fantasy beat-'em-up set in the ancient Korean kingdom of Baekje, <em>The Soul</em> incorporates some RPG elements along with a non-linear structure. One or two players can choose from five playable characters: Won Sul Rang, Jeong Do Ryung, Hiromi, Heuk Chi Sang Chi and Seok Hye Tong - a group of battle-mages who had fallen afoul of a powerful weretiger/sorcerer. The latter's machinations are upsetting the balance of good and evil in the kingdom. After encountering a group of seemingly possessed Tang soldiers, who turn hostile, the party sets out to restore cosmic harmony.</p>
<p>The characters all have their own unique strengths, weaknesses, special moves and magic attacks, with which to carve their way through the armies of soldiers, sorcerers and fantastical creatures that await them. These skills can be strengthened at the end of each stage - the 'level up points' you have gained can be distributed amongst your character stats: health, strength, intelligence and five different magical skills.</p>
<p>On many occasions, after a stage has been completed, you will have a multiple choice of destinations; you can set your own path through the realm, and the sequence of stages can vary from game to game. You're only given a single life (once you're out of health, it's game over), but four save slots are provided to compensate for the difficulty.</p>

<p><em>Abductor</em> is a single player <em>Defender</em> clone.</p>
<p>The player controls a spaceship which they must use to prevent aliens from abducting people. It is keyboard controlled by default but does support a joystick. It has a high score table and sound effects.</p>

<p><em>Ack! Man</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled, <em>Pac Man</em> game. </p>
<p>In this game Ack! Man replaces Pac-Man and the four ghosts are Finky, Stinky, Dinky and Clyde. The gameplay is just the same, race around a maze eating pills and, when a power pill has been eaten, chasing and eating the ghosts. The game has fourteen levels and randomly occurring bonus items.</p>

<p><em>Bomber Boy</em> is a game for two, three or four players and it is entirely keyboard controlled. Games are played over one, two, three or four matches.</p>
<p>The game is a variant of the game <em>Bomberman</em> but without the storyline. Players start in opposite corners of a game area and place bombs to blow up the bricks that obstruct their passage, but running away before they detonate. The blast from each explosion clears one or more blocks and occasionally uncovers a bonus item.<br>
The objective of the game is to clear a path through to one's opponents and catch them in a blast thus killing them. Players have three lives and can only lay one bomb at a time.</p>
<p>There were ten levels in the shareware version which has no single player option and no computer controlled opponents. However the full game promises thirty five levels, seven worlds, two computer opponents and Com2Com support</p>

<p><em>Champ Centipede</em> is a variant of Atari's Centipede. </p>
<p>One or two players must get rid of all the insects invading a mushroom patch, including Fleas, Spiders, Scorpions and the Centipede. The game includes different difficulty levels, sound effects and a high score table.

<p><em>Fleuch</em> is a single player game from Germany, it is a port of a game the author had previously released on the Amiga.</p>
<p>The game is keyboard controlled and plays a little like a Lunar Lander variant but instead of landing the player must manoeuvre a space craft near a ball, pick it up, and then take to the skies to complete the level. Sounds simple enough but to make things a bit more interesting there are gun turrets firing at the player's ship.<br>
In the shareware version of the game there are just three levels, when the player completes the last level they start again at level one on a harder difficulty setting. This process repeats until all three of the player's lives have been lost. The full game has ten levels</p>
<p>The game has a number of features including an optional in-game mini-map feature, the ability to save in-game screenshots (in .tga format), and optional sound.</p>

<p><em>Galaga 94</em> is based on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8402/galaga/">Galaga</a>
 the classic vertical shooter from <a href="/search/?q=Namco%C2%A0Limited">Namco</a>.</p>
<p>It's a fixed screen shooter in which the player moves right and left shooting at waves of alien spaceships as the swoop around the screen raining bombs and such like.<br>
The player starts with a ship that is capable of firing three rockets, i.e. only three rockets can be in flight on screen at the same time. For every twenty aliens destroyed the game will send a 'bonus bringer' craft, destroy that and a bonus items will be dropped. Bonuses range from having more missiles on screen, shields, an extra life to a straightforward points increase</p>

<p><em>Gobble Man</em> is a single player, shareware, <em>Pac-Man</em> type game.</p>
The game can be played in single mode or player vs player (hot seat) mode, has sound effects, and is keyboard controlled.</p>

<p><em>Guillermo Tell</em> is a shooting game made exclusively for use with a Spanish lightgun called Gunstick.</p>
<p>The game is similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10526/crossbow/">Crossbow</a>. Like in that title, the main character walks automatically (he must rescue his beloved) and the player has the mission (more or less in the role of a gunman bodyguard) to protect Guillermo from the attacks of archers, trolls, birds and also from the impact of objects like stones or bows.</p>

<p><em>Gotcha</em> is a single player, shareware, keyboard controlled, puzzle game based on the classic game <a href="/search/?q=QIX">QIX</a>.</p>
<p>The game area consists of a rectangle with a border. The object of the game is to claim over fifty percent of the rectangle by making smaller rectangles. However, within the main rectangle lurk 'the meanies' and if they make contact with the player or the line that they are drawing a life is lost.<br>
The player is safe from 'the meanies' while they are in the border but there's another pest, Mr Hurry, who chases the player if they take too long to clear a level.</p>
<p>The shareware version of the game has just five levels and only one set of meanies. The registered version has one or two meanies, minefields and bonus rounds.</p>

<p><em>Gravitar</em> is a pc version of an older <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10492/gravitar/">game</a> game originally released by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Atari,+Inc.">Atari</a></p>
<p>Being a copy of a game from the early 1980's <em>Gravitar</em> uses the same minimal graphics which is similar in style to the early Asteroids games. The player starts in space with their little space ship, in the centre of the screen is a sun from which pairs of enemy ships are randomly launched. In the corners of the screen are icons representing gateways to four worlds. <br>
When the player flies through a portal the game screen changes and the player must manage their descent as they approach the planet surface, a bit like <em>Lander</em>, the object however is not to land but to destroy the planet's reactor and then get out before the planet explodes. Shields are available, each planet has defensive gun turrets, but these use up a lot of fuel but the player can refuel by hovering over planetary fuel dumps.</p>

<p><em>Gravity Well</em> is a single player, shareware game based on <em>Lunar Lander</em></p>
<p>The objective in this game is to land a craft on each of the planet's bases to score points. A good, soft, landing under manual control earns more points than a landing achieved using autopilot. <br>
When all landings have been made the player advances to the next planet and so on. Very good landings ear the player diamonds, these can be converted into fuel allowing the player to progress further in the game.<br>
The game documentation shows that after the initial release a number of additional features were added, not necessarily all in the same release/version, these include :* Lateral (horizontal) motion is used to decide how hard you landed making it possible to land with the vertical speed in the green but with so much lateral velocity
 the landing gear is ripped off the craft.</p>
<ul>
<li>Landing gear can be damaged by a rough landing.</li>
<li>Landing gear can be repaired by landing within the green range. Severely damaged gear may take more than one landing to fully repair it.</li>
<li>Timed Trials! A timer is kept as you progress through the planet and is
compared against both a par time and the record time for each planet, one each for
combat and regular game play mode.</li>
</ul>
<p>The registered game also has a 'Combat Mode' in which each base has a radar dish, gas tank, and a gun emplacement. The player can drop bombs on the base to destroy it but if the gas tank is destroyed they won't get any fuel when they land, and if the gun emplacement is destroyed the player won't get any more bombs.</p>

<p><em>Space Intruders</em> is a single player, shareware, clone of the arcade game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Space+Invaders">Space Invaders</a> where the player moves their gun, left or right on the bottom of the screen blasting a formation of aliens above. The aliens move left and right dropping bombs and as they descend. In between the player and the aliens are four structures which are gradually destroyed as they are hit, whether by alien or friendly fire.<br>
If the player id struck by a bomb ten they lose one of their three lives but the game continues from the point where the life was lost, i.e. it does not reset the current wave of aliens. </p>
<p>The game is over if the aliens land or when the player loses all their lives. The game has sound, a high score table, and can be controlled by either the keyboard or the joystick</p>

<p><em>Karl Quappe</em> is a single player, shareware, keyboard controlled <em>Frogger</em> clone from Germany.</p>
<p>Using the keyboard the player must take Karl across a five lane motorway, then across a river to safety. Hazards include crocodiles, otters, cars, and of course the river itself because Karl is a very young frog and will drown if he falls into the water.</p>

<p><em>Kerboom!</em> is a single player, mouse or joystick controlled game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Kaboom!">Kaboom!</a>.</p>
<p>Once again there is a mad bomber on the loose throwing his explosive devices from the top of a high wall. The player must catch his bombs in buckets of water to prevent them detonating.</p>
<p>There are a couple of quirks that make this variant a little different. <br>
Firstly the mad bomber is represented by a figure with a real person's face, very pixelated but still recognisable as a photograph rather than something that's drawn.<br>
Secondly there are two game modes, Classic and Enhanced. Both modes look and play exactly the same but in the enhanced mode the bombs cal fall diagonally in later stages and the bomber issues random taunts. The two modes have separate high score tables<br>
Buckets are lost when a bomb hits the ground but new buckets are awarded after 10,000 points in the Classic game and after 5,000 points in the Enhanced game.</p>
<p>This game cannot be played via the keyboard.</p>

<p><em>Lunar Lander</em> is a single player game based on one of the truly classic games. In this implementation the keyboard controls the craft's attitude and the mouse controls the thrust </p>
<p>The objective in this game is to land a craft on each of the planet's bases to refuel and to score points. Very good landings earn the player diamonds, these can be converted into fuel allowing the player to progress further in the game. When all landings have been made the player advances to the next planet and so on. The registered game also has a 'Combat Mode' in which each base has a radar dish, gas tank, and a gun emplacement. The player must eliminate the radar bases before they can land. The radar bases control gunnery emplacements which must be destroy, or alternately damaged, in order to recover weaponry from them.</p>
<p>This game bears a striking similarity to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/73285/gravity-well/">Gravity Well</a> from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1138/plbm-games/">PLBM Games</a> and is probably an earlier version of that game.</p>

<p>"Olimpiadas 92: Atletismo" was one of the two games created by Topo Soft to commemorate the Olympic Games celebrated in Barcelona in the year 1992 (the other game was "Olimpiadas 92: Gimnasia Deportiva").</p>
<p>In "Olimpiadas 92: Atletismo", the player, representing one of the six teams availables (Japan, Germany, United States, France, Spain and United Kingdom) must compete in a sort of "mini" decathlon competition, composed only by 6 disciplines. These disciplines are:</p>
<ul>
<li>100 meters.</li>
<li>110 meters hurdles.</li>
<li>Long jump.</li>
<li>Triple jump.</li>
<li>High jump.</li>
<li>Pole vaulting.</li>
</ul>
<p>The player, before compete in the main competition, has the option to train each discipline separately. </p>
<p>The control of the virtual athlete is the classical in this kind of games. So, for make run the athlete the player must hit, quickly and alternatively, two keys of the keyboard.</p>

<p><em>Meteor Rescue</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled game that is very similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/48182/meteor-mission/">Meteor Mission</a> and may well be a later version of that game.</p>
<p>Once again some poor astronauts pave been abandoned on a desolate planetoid. It's your job to swoop them up and bring them home.   </p>
<p>This is a game of two halves. In the first part the player's ship is held in a sort of cage in the drop ship which moves left /right across the top of the screen. As soon as the main engines start the floor of the cage retracts and the ship begins its descent. Timing here is important as the space between the drop ship and the landing pads below contains orbiting rocks which must be avoided.<br>
Once the ship has landed the astronaut beams aboard and the ship begins its ascent. The rate of ascent can be increased but not decreased so there's no hiding down at the bottom of the screen until the orbiting rocks are out of the way. Fortunately the ship has a gun which only works during the ascent phase, with which rocks can be shot for extra points and a clear run to the drop ship. 
All the player has to do now is to avoid the rocks and dock with the drop ship by re-entering the cage. As an added complication the drop ship continues to move from side to side and stops in a random place each time.</p>
<p>The player has five lives with which they must accumulate as high a score as possible. Once all the astronauts are rescued there's a brief fanfare and the game starts the next level with a new set of astronauts and more obstacles.</p>
<p>Landing too fast, hitting a flying rock, hitting the drop ship, flying past the drop ship, trying to manoeuvre while inside the drop ship all destroy the player's craft and cost a life</p>

<p><em>Micropede</em> is a single player, mouse controlled, freeware, game based on <em>Centipede</em>.</p>
<p>In this game, the player controls a spaceship, which can move freely in the bottom third of the screen, and shoots upward to destroy the oncoming micropede. The micropede is made up of many segments, and when a section is separated from the rest of the body, its foremost segment becomes a head, forming a new creature. Scattered around the playfield are mushrooms. If a segment gets trapped by mushrooms it will either eat the mushroom or it will suddenly zigzag down to the bottom of the screen. Sometimes a large column of segments will zigzag down to the bottom. </p>
<p>Also wandering around the game area are these creatures:* Spiders: The spider will enter from one of the sides and continues movement toward
the opposite side exit point. All mushrooms touched by the spider die.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Mosquitoes: The mosquito moves diagonally from the top and bounces off the sides of
the screen. Besides getting points, if you kill a mosquito the field of mushrooms will retreat upwards and out of your domain by one row, clearing these mushrooms gives the player a clear field of fire and movement, it also prevents further mosquito attacks</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Bees: These move straight down the screen producing mushrooms at random along their path. Unlike all other enemies, which all take one shot to kill, the bee takes two shots.</p>
</li>
<li>Dragonflys: If not killed these will fly off the bottom of the screen and in so doing they will cause the mushroom field to advance further down the screen into the player's area</li>
<li>Beetles: These make mushrooms hard and invulnerable to the player's bullets. The only way to clear hardened mushrooms is to let a spider have them</li>
<li>Worms: These do no harm and do not attack but points are scored for killing the poor things</li>
<li>Earwigs: As with worms these creatures do no harm and do not attack but points are scored for killing the poor things. Worms and earwigs move in different patterns</li>
</ul>
<p>The game has a high score table, optional sound and an optional invulnerability mode. Extra ships are awarded every 50,000 points in version 1.04, it had been every 30,000 points in the first public release. every five levels there's a bonus round where the micropede does not attack but everything else does.</p>

<p><em>Mortal Pong</em> is a one or two player game that can be played either by two players on the same machine or over a modem via XBAND PC.</p>
<p>The game is based on <em>Pong</em>. Balls are launched from the centre of the screen and the players use paddles to keep the ball in play. The longer the game goes on the more balls appear. If a player lets a ball go past them then they lose health, (the developer says this is similar to a player losing health in the <em>Mortal Kombat</em> games - hence the name), and once a player has lost all health the game is over</p>

<p><em>Mr Pacford</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled, Pac-Man style platform puzzle game.</p>
<p>The player guides a Pac-Man style character around a screen where the object is to eat a fixed number of pills that are scattered around the level. This involves jumping around from platforms to crates, using lifts and explosives and other devices.<br>
All levels are timed. After certain levels the player is given a code so that they can restart without replaying the entire game.</p>

<p><em>CHAMP Ms. Pacman</em> is a one or two player, shareware implementation of the 1981 classic. </p>
<p>The object of <em>CHAMP Ms. Pacman</em> is to clear as many mazes as possible while accumulating the highest score possible by eating all the pills in each maze. The player must avoid the four ghosts, contact with them costs a life, but in the four corners of each maze are power pills which,when eaten, turn the ghosts blue and vulnerable for a short while.<br>
Sometimes, bonus fruit will enter the maze, Ms. Pacman can score bonus points by eating this before the fruit leaves the maze. </p>
<p>The game can be controlled by keyboard or mouse and it has a high score table and optional sound.</p>

<p><em>Munch Guy</em> is a single player, shareware, keyboard controlled <em>Pac Man</em> variant. </p>
<p>This game supports CGA, VGA, VGA greyscale and text graphics which it automatically detects, alternatively the graphics mode can be selected via a command line parameter. It maintains a single high score total and has optional sound effects which again are selected at the start of the game via an command line parameter.</p>

<p>A tiny implementation of the <a href="/search/?q=Soko-Ban+variants">Sokoban</a> box-pushing puzzle genre, <em>Pusher</em> fits it all into a paltry 512 bytes of space - including code, level data, graphics (implemented as a custom text-mode font) and sound. Due to the extreme compactness, only one level is supplied, although it consists of several mini-puzzles that require progressively greater cleverness to maneuver the crates into their target spots. Assembly source code is provided, and new levels can be converted from text files using the included Python script.</p>

<p>An updated take on both <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/64135/pong/">Pong</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Quadrapong">Quadrapong</a>, where either two or four players bounce a ball around a square court; each player moves a paddle along one edge of the playfield. The game counts misses, so the objective is obviously to "score" lower than the opponent(s) by not letting the ball slip past your paddle. Optional features allow the playfield to rotate (as one might glean from the title), but also to zoom, wobble and display vectorized demo-style 3D effects.</p>

<p>A simple cave-flyer: maneuver your helicopter through the volcanic caves by avoiding collision with the cave walls.  The helicopter is continuously dragged downwards by gravity, and gains altitude by holding down the spacebar.  The score increases along with the distance covered; every 1000 points, a new level begins - with a narrower, more dangerous cave.</p>
<p>The entire game is squeezed into 256 bytes of executable code, side-scrolling graphics and sound included.</p>

<p>That bastion of good taste, the Hooy-Program team, lives up to its name by serving up an action platformer that's positively obsessed with disembodied penises. However, while games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/17908/astrotit/">Astrotit</a> may have set a precedent for tackling such an archetypal subject, here the male genitals do not assume the protagonist role; rather, they serve as collectibles - and enemies!</p>
<p><em>HHNR</em> takes you through a series of surrealistic, side-scrolling stages with ZX Spectrum-inspired graphics, where the objective is to pick up all collectible items. These range from the aforementioned sexual appendages to Spectrum computers, boxes marked "LSD", and other such goodies. Other objects are damaging, while some restore health: the only way to tell them apart is through trial and error. To complicate matters, certain enemies will home in and pester you until they're shot at, including the flying syringe and (you guessed it) more penises.</p>

<p>This very compact implementation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/138/pac-man/">Pac-Man</a> weighs in at only 256 bytes, but is still fully playable. To fit the target program size, <em>Pacman256</em> dispenses with energizer pellets, scoring, multiple lives and functional side-tunnels, but the bare essentials are intact - roam the maze, chomp on the dots, and avoid the four patrolling monsters.</p>

<p>An adaptation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8847/berzerk/">Berzerk</a>, taking place in a series of scrolling maze-like rooms; you are beset by rampaging armies of aliens and robots, and have to try and take down as many as you can with the aid of your trusty handgun. Both you and your enemies can fire in eight directions - metal walls will deflect any shots that strike them, while the colored barriers are destructible. The more enemies you kill, the more you'll score, although it is possible to leave the level at any time by heading towards an exit. Both the overall game speed and the fire speed can be adjusted on the fly.</p>

<p><em>Indecent</em> packs an arcade flying game with 256 different levels, parallax scrolling, and procedurally generated terrain, into the rather tight space of 256 bytes of machine code. The idea is to get your starship safely across an increasingly dangerous environment, plagued by floating junk (yellow dots) and by cave walls that gradually start closing in the further you travel. The white, pixelly ship can only be moved up or down to avoid these obstacles - any collision spells instantaneous doom; a progress bar at the bottom tells you how much of the level you've traveled. Various levels may be loaded by specifying different ASCII characters as a command-line parameter.</p>

<p>A turn-based strategy game that's all about blowing up computers, and killing lamers and computer journalists while you're at it! In a futuristic 1997, the world is beset by chaos, and a totalitarian force known as the M$ Empire (now who could that be) sets out to convert the populace into a horde of lobotomized zombies, presumably through a computing experience that destroys the mind. A merry band of trigger-happy terrorists therefore sets out to destroy all those M$-ridden machines.</p>
<p>Six different levels are available, and each one gives you one or more men to command, with limited ammunition: the target is to destroy all computers as efficiently as possible. Lamers just block your path, but the evil journalists will turn <em>your</em> men into lamers if they touch! Shooting the hacks will spawn demented zombies that blindly fire in random directions. You can also bolster your ranks by freeing hostages, who promptly join your team. If all your men are shot down (or brainwashed into lamer-dom), you lose; if you manage to take out all the unwholesome machines, you're scored based on how many men and bullets you have left.</p>

<p><em>Mr. Muncher</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled, Pac-Man style game.</p>
<p>The game was released as a freeware beta-test version with thirty-two boards to play and a board editor. A full version with eighty levels was promised at a later date.</p>

<p><em>Packamaze</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled, 3D <em>Pac-Man</em> variant.</p>
<p>In a normal Pac-Man game the player negotiates a maze and eats power pills to score points, in this game the pills are ammunition which they use to shoot ghosts and eventually the big boss Dr. Hell.</p>

<p><em>Pac PC</em> is a single player, freeware, keyboard controlled <em>Pac Man</em> variant. </p>
<p>Gameplay is standard for games of this type, negotiate a maze while being chased by ghosts, eat fruit and pills to score points and power pills to make the ghosts vulnerable. Extra lives at 10000 points, 30000 points, 50000 points, 80000 points then every 30000 points thereafter.</p>

<p><em>Pong</em>  is a one or two player, freeware, keyboard controlled implementation of the classic paddle game.</p>
<p>The game has five difficulty levels, a high score table, and a sound track.</p>

<p><em>Rally-K!</em> is a single player, shareware, keyboard-controlled game that is based on the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19617/rally-x/">Rally-X</a>.</p>
<p>You control a small car running around in a maze to capture flags while avoiding hostile cars that try to crash your car. Also within the maze are additional hazards such as rocks and trees that will destroy the car if struck. The player's fuel is limited and when it runs out the car coasts along but much more slowly making the task of avoiding the hostile cars much harder.<br>
When all flags are cleared the player progresses to the next level where there are more enemy cars, different flags, different rocks, and different levels of speed, both for the player's car and the enemy cars.<br>
The game awards Challenge stages and additional cars as the player progresses.</p>
<p>The registered version of the game has an 'Extended mode' of play featuring bonuses such as "Inviso", "Nitro" or "Molasses" (slows down the enemy cars).</p>

<p><em>Robotica</em> is a single player, strategy / shooter.</p>
<p>The player controls a robot that starts off in the centre of the game area. They are surrounded by baddies and must find a way to rescue all the humans that are on the screen. Some baddies just attack the player while others will attack the humans the player is supposed to rescue.<br>
The robot is moved around the screen by moving the mouse while the robot's gun, which fires continually, is directed by the numbers on the numeric keypad, NUM LOCK must be enabled for this game.<br>
The game has a high score table, four difficulty levels and each difficulty has 20 game levels.</p>

<p><em>Robotron: 2084</em> is a single player, shareware clone of the Atari arcade game. </p>
<p>The story behind the game is as follows:<br>
<em>Man is once again a victim of his own ingenuity. This time he has created a species of killer robots bent on obliterating the human race. And, of course, it's up to you to put things back in order.</em>  </p>
<p>The player's character starts off in the centre of the game area. They are surrounded by baddies and must find a way to rescue all the humans that are on the screen. Some baddies just attack the player while others will attack the humans the player is supposed to rescue.<br>
The game is controlled either by the keyboard, joystick, or a combination of the two.</p>

<p><em>The Fourth Generation</em> is a shareware side-scrolling shoot 'em up game with pre-rendered graphics. The player controls a futuristic aircraft and is tasked with fighting through continuous waves of enemies.</p>
<p>The story takes place in distant future, during an age called "The Fourth Generation". After the collapse of the Galactic Empire, a number of smaller kingdoms emerge, loosely united into a Galactic Republic. While there is no open conflict, tensions exist between the various political entities of the galaxy. After an incident in the Senate, one of the factions, Lorien, intends to attack the neighbouring kingdoms of Qualix and Nimbur. This cannot be done openly under the watch of the Republic, so a different plan is devised instead.</p>
<p>The player takes on the role of a Lorien space fighter pilot who has been stripped of rank and incarcerated for misusing prototype military aircraft (he took it for an amusement ride with a date). Lorien government picks the pilot for a secret mission: feign a prison break, steal a fighter ship and set off to attack Qualix and Nimbur defences. That way, Lorien rulers will not be held responsible for actions of a renegade pilot.</p>
<p><em>The Fourth Generation</em> spans 11 missions, with the first three available in the shareware version. Between the levels, the player can upgrade the ship using credits earned for destroying enemy targets. Many different components can be improved, allowing for substantial customization of the player's craft. Additionally, on-board systems can be damaged by enemy fire, and as a result the player may lose the ability to manoeuvre, target enemies, fire weapons etc. for the rest of the level. Damaged equipment can be repaired between levels at the expense of some credits.</p>
<p>The game can be played by either one or two players on the same computer.</p>

<p><em>The Civil War: Master Players Edition</em> is an enhanced version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/279/the-civil-war/">The Civil War</a> from the same developer &amp; publisher (which was released a year before).</p>
<p>First select the side to play, then choose one of the eight historical battles or the entire campaign (1861-1864). This sequel has enhanced AI, better graphics and efforts have been made to improve historical accuracy. Also new with this release is a printed strategy guide.</p>

<p><em>Full Metal Jacket</em> is a mech action game played from a top-down perspective on a rotating playing field. The game is divided into separate missions, where the objective is to destroy certain targets using limited resources. Various tanks and other mechs are fought using evasive maneuvers and cover. Success is rewarded with funds, which can be used to equip the mech with guns, ammunition, explosives or a jetpack.</p>

<p><em>Heroes</em> is a free game released under the GNU licence. It is a 2D top-down action game, strongly inspired by <a href="/search/?q=Nibbles">Nibbles</a>, the movie <em>Tron</em> and futuristic racing combat.

The game has five modes: Quest, Death Match, Kill'em All, Time Cash and Color.</p>

<p><em>Backgammon</em> is a computer version of the classic board game of the same name. It can only be played against the AI and is completely controlled with the keyboard: after the random dice roll, the player needs to specify a piece and where it should be moved to by entering the row numbers. There are also associated keys for moving a piece from the bar or moving it home.</p>

<p><em>Digger</em> or <em>Digger Remastered</em> is free version of old the classic PC Booter version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/18/digger/">Digger</a>.

<p><em>1939</em> is a 2D turn-based strategy game with elements of the strategy board games, similar to the <a href="/search/?q=Panzer+General">Panzer General</a> series. It represents all the major battles of the September Campaign against Poland, referring directly to historical events that launched World War II. The game contains 7 historical and 5 fictional scenarios. The army units are represented by tanks, motorcycles, infantry, cavalry, artillery, reconnaissance aircraft and bombers. The game features numerous historical pictures and allows up to two players to play and choose the Polish or German side.</p>

<p><em>Day Of Pigs</em> is a shareware vertical scrolling shoot-'em-up game in a space setting. Steering a fighter craft, the player needs to fight continuous waves of enemy ships, dodge their fire, and pick up powerups. A typical level ends with a boss battle.</p>
<p>The plot of the game concerns an artificially created race of intelligent pigs that is sent to destroy a planet called Quenzar which houses rich consumers of pork. The player character is tasked with stopping the pig fleet.</p>
<p><em>Day Of Pigs</em> features single player mode only. The ship is controlled entirely with the mouse. There are no sound effects or music in the original release, but these were added along with level passwords in version 2.0.</p>

<p>Puzzle Storybook is a children’s computer game combining interactive puzzles with storybooks. Children solve puzzles with tiles and geometric shapes, then write the stories and hear the words read out loud. Different skill levels can be adjusted to the child to suit his/her needs, and the Helper options allows the parent to customize the activities as well. Children create their own scenes by selecting a scene, then adding characters, buildings, and other objects from the Picture Library. The recommended age group is 3 to 8.</p>

<p><em>Card Players Paradise</em> is a simulation of several card games: Rummy 500, Pinochle, Handed Pinochle, Bezique and Casino. The player can choose between different rule variations for those games. Besides playing single matches, there are also two special game modes:* Around the World: The player visits different cities all around the world in order to play card tournaments. Winning rewards price money which is put towards traveling costs. The goal is to emerge from the tour (either 7 or 15 cities) with as much money as possible.</p>
<ul>
<li>Hedge Maze: The goal is to reach the end of the maze before the day ends. On the way, there are card games to play which reward coins after a win. However, finding the exit does not win the round: before there are the castle guards (alternatively they can be bribed with enough coins) and the royal couple to challenge.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>U.R.B.A.N The Cyborg Project</em> is a side-view action game with a platform game-like perspective. The U.S. government is conducting a top secret project to create a cybernetic soldier. They kidnap a civilian, Urban Gutter, to be used as an unwilling guinea pig for the cyborgization process. However, something goes wrong and the powerful cyborg wakes up prematurely. The player controls the cyborg and his goal is to escape the military base, all while causing as bloody a massacre as possible. </p>
<p>The player can walk in four directions (left, right, and toward and away from the screen), as well as jump. On each level the player must reach an exit, which usually requires finding keycards. On the way the player encounters harmless scientists, as well as soldiers. Pick-ups include health refills, extra lives and better weapons, though all weapons other than the starting machine gun have limited ammo. The game contains large amounts of violence, with killed enemies falling apart into bloody chunks, and splatters of blood staying on the floor.</p>

<p><em>Mega Motion</em> is a puzzle game where the player has to move a number of balls across the screen towards an exit. The balls are linked together with one acting as an anchor the others are constantly rotating around. The game is played with the mouse. By clicking on one of the balls it becomes the anchor that the others rotate around. Clicking with the right mouse button changes the direction of the rotation.</p>
<p>Each level has obstacles that block the balls' path and objects that can be collected. Most common are blocks that are destroyed after being hit by a ball a couple of times but there are also those obstacles that destroy the ball that hits them. There are also bombs, which set off chain reactions when hit, and switcher blocks that reveal hidden doors or open up new passages. When all balls but one have been destroyed a life is lost and the level has to be restarted. Each level also has a time limit. Overstepping it is allowed but the player will then get a lower score. </p>
<p>The game has a total of 100 levels that are divided into four categories: easy, average, difficult and very difficult. For every level completed the player is given a password.</p>

<p><em>McGee</em> is an educational game for young children (ages 2 to 6). The game is entirely wordless and tells its story through graphics and sound making it possible for the child to play the game without help from an adult. The idea is that the child in this way should become familiar and confident with the computer and grow a sense of discovery. </p>
<p>In the game the player takes control of a child protagonist called McGee and gets to explore his home. The house consists of a couple of rooms and in each room there are a few objects that can be interacted with. All interaction is done by clicking on the four different icons that appear in each room. When doing so a short animation will start and McGee will do something, for example play with a ball, take a bath or hide under the carpet. There is no specific objective to the game and the player can move around freely between the rooms and interact with things over and over again.</p>

<p><em>Katie's Farm</em> is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/74050/mcgee/">McGee</a>. Like that game it is an educational game for young children that is entirely wordless so that it can be played independently without assistance from an adult. The gameplay is identical to the first game but this time it takes place at a farm and McGee is joined by a second character, his cousin Katie. The farm consists of a few different locations (barn, paddock, hen house etc.) and for each there are four icons to click on which cause the two characters to interact with the environment in different ways. This include meeting different animals (cows, horses, chickens etc.), playing with a scarecrow and jumping in a haystack. There's no end to the game so the player can explore the farm freely.</p>

<p><em>McGee at the Fun Fair</em> is the third game in the <em>McGee</em> series. Like the previous two games it is an educational game for young children that is entirely wordless so that it can be played by the child alone without any help from a parent. The gameplay is identical to the previous games but this time McGee has travelled to a fun fair and along with him comes a friend called Tony. The fair consists of a few different locations and for each there are four icons to click on that cause the two characters to interact with the environment in different ways. This includes watching the various entertainers (a clown, a juggler and a one man band for instance), having fun on the playground and eating ice cream. The game does not have an end sequence so the player can explore the locations freely for any length of time.</p>

<p><em>Ten Little Robots</em> is an educational game for preschoolers. It teaches math and computer use and consists of five activities that all involve robots:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Robot Story:</strong> An interactive rhyme where the story is read out and the player has to fill in how many robots are still remaining.</li>
<li><strong>Letter Match:</strong> The game shows a letter and the player has to locate it on the keyboard and press it.</li>
<li><strong>Count The Robots:</strong> A number of robots are shown and the player has to count them and enter the right number.</li>
<li><strong>Robot Addition:</strong> The player has to answer simple addition problems by entering the right sum.</li>
<li><strong>Robot Drawing (8-bit version only):</strong> A drawing game where the player moves a robot between paint pots of different colors and can freely draw on the screen.</li>
<li><strong>Robot Construction (16-bit version only):</strong> The player gets to build a robot by choosing from different parts. First, a body is chosen, and then heads, legs, and arms can be selected in any order.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>F-Zero</em> is a fan game based on the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6630/f-zero/">SNES game of the same name</a>. It offers the same kind of futuristic hovercar racing as the original, but with high-resolution (800x600) graphics, 3D-rendered cars and an assortment of tracks based on those from the original.</p>
<p>The game includes four tracks, whose layout is based on the tracks from the original game, but with features like turbo and jump pads newly arranged. Gameplay also follows the original closely, with the car having limited power that is decreased on collisions but can be repaired in the repair area, turbo boosts awarded after a completed lap and finishing in the top positions necessary to advance, with only a limited number of lives available.</p>

<p>This unofficial add-on disc for <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer:+Red+Alert">Command &amp; Conquer: Red Alert</a> contains more than 650 maps, cheats, hints and editors.</p>

<p><em>Barney Bear Goes to Space</em> is an educational game for children aged three to eight. It consists of two parts: the first one is a story book where Barney Bear visits Kennedy Space Center and accidentally ends up at a shuttle as it launches to space. The story is told through pictures with digitized narration and the player's interaction is limited to clicking to move to the next picture. The second part takes place at the control panel of the shuttle and consists of the following five activities:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Solar System</strong> shows an image where the player can click on various planets. A more detailed picture will then be shown along with a spoken description of the planet.</li>
<li><strong>Did You Know?</strong> - When clicking on this activity a bit of information regarding space is displayed and spoken.</li>
<li><strong>Short History of Space Travel</strong> is a short history lesson where the player listens to the voice while looking at the pictures shown.</li>
<li><strong>Follow-The-Pattern Game</strong> is a variant of the electronic game Simon where four squares light up in a random order and the player has to repeat the sequence.</li>
<li><strong>My Color Book</strong> is a painting program where the player fills in the color on a number of different pictures. It's also possible to draw freely with a brush or a pen.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Barney Bear Goes to School</em> is an educational game for children aged two to six. It consists of two parts: the first one is a story book where the player has to help Barney Bear to wake up and get ready for school. The story is told through narrated pictures and for each one the player can interact with the scene by clicking on various objects. To continue the story a specific object has to be clicked on. The second part takes place in the school which contains various activities. This include three games: </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Spell It!</strong> - A picture along with the right spelling will be displayed and the player has to type it in by clicking on the right letters.</li>
<li><strong>How Many?</strong> - An object is drawn a certain number of times and the player has to count them and click on the correct number.</li>
<li><strong>Coloring Book</strong> - The player can fill the areas of several colourless pictures.</li>
</ul>

<p>Composed of no more than 256 bytes of machine code, <em>Formula-1 TURBO</em> is a straightforward, vertically-scrolling racer: the player's car zooms along at a constant speed and can be steered left and right to keep from crashing. This can be achieved by avoiding two things - the sides of the road, and other cars; the latter are quite content to sit still in the middle of the track, indifferent to the prospect of being rear-ended.</p>
<p>To complicate matters, the winding race track zig-zags left and right and grows progressively narrower, so that the difficulty ramps up as the game goes on. Scoring increases with time, starting with "A" and progressing through consecutive letters - a longer survival ensures a place further along the alphabet.</p>

<p><em>SpaceWORM</em> portrays the improbable and perilous journey of a worm through space. While that much may be gleaned from the title, it's the creature's peculiar appetites that set it apart from the rest of wormkind: our worm has a passion for diamonds. Conveniently enough, large numbers of these precious gems are just lying there in the starry voids, ripe for the picking. Less conveniently, the heavens are also teeming with that popular space trope: closely-packed asteroids!</p>
<p>As the worm proceeds downwards through the scrolling playfield, it must be guided by swerving it left and right to avoid incoming space rocks and to collect the yellow diamonds. Each diamond scores one point; if the sinusoidal squirmer smacks into an asteroid, the game ends instantly with a display of the final score. Of course, appetite comes with eating, so the worm will increase its speed over time (making the game gradually more difficult).</p>
<p>The game is written in assembly and takes up only 256 bytes of executable size.</p>

<p>This unofficial DOS version shoots for a faithful reproduction of the <a href="/search/?q=Duck+Hunt">Nintendo original</a> - that is, as faithful as possible using ANSI graphics, but that is to be expected from an artscene group like CiA. Here, too, the player sets out for the great outdoors with his loyal hunting dog, plentiful ammunition, and a craving for dead ducks.</p>
<p>Of the original game modes, only "Game A" is implemented: each round consists of ten ducks that take turns making solo flights across the sky, one after the other, and have to be shot down for points. If time or bullets run out, the duck flies away (and the player must suffer the hound's <em>schadenfreude</em>). The flying targets get faster with each successive round, and fewer misses are tolerated; fail to nail enough of them and it's game over. All game sounds consist of samples that have been lifted wholesale from the NES title.</p>

<p>This compact game takes up less than 256 bytes (254 to be exact), and challenges you to a mortal duel against Evil Kitty who's menacing your garden of shrubs.  To be precise, he's eating them all and you're none too pleased about that.  Since the kitty's evilness is too much to take on bare-handed, you've decided to bring along a remotely-guided missile to zonk him with - trouble is, being a kitty, the Evil One has nine lives while you have to make do with one.  To top it off, you risk blowing yourself up as well!</p>
<p>Your character can run in four directions through the shrub garden to evade the heinous green kitty, who keeps trying to close in for the kill.  All moving objects can wrap around the edges of the screen.  The shrubs will block your path, but not Kitty's, since he eats through them with ease; your remote control missile simply bounces off them, but otherwise it will follow your direction of movement.  Kitty's remaining lives are displayed at the top left: if you can exploit the environment and maneuver the missile to snuff him, the number will decrease and a new random screen will be generated.  If you can get him down to 0 you'll have solved your feline problem once and for all.</p>

<p><em>CityRunner</em> is a futuristic search-and-rescue driving game featuring a 3D voxel-based environment, all in 4KB (!) of executable size. The player sits behind the wheel of a polygonal police car (shuttle? hovercraft?) and gets to zoom along the city streets in search of trouble hotspots, indicated by flashing buildings, which must be located and bumped against to rescue the distressed citizens therein. The objective is to save as many targets as quickly as possible, without running out of time or crashing the vehicle in the process.</p>
<p>Each assignment starts at the station, with a time limit, a set number of targets, and full shields to protect the car against impact. The cutting-edge vehicle can drive forwards and backwards with equal ease, and is equipped with a speed-boost pedal for those long straight streets. Points are awarded for saving buildings and completing missions - swift action is rewarded with higher scores. Once all buildings have been saved, it's back to the police station to recharge the shields and get a new assignment (with more targets).</p>
<p>Unsafe driving may result in nasty collisions with buildings, which take a toll on the shields; wreck the car completely (or run out of time) and it's game over. For navigational aid, an interactive map screen can be called up at any time and scrolled / zoomed / rotated at will.</p>

<p><em>Betamax</em> is a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up that sees the player at the helm of a fighter ship in hostile space, fighting for survival against wave after wave of attacking aliens. The premise? - take them down, pick up the energy balls they leave behind, and exchange them for ship upgrades. </p>
<p>These upgrades are handled by a power-up system similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4512/gradius/">Gradius</a>: collecting an energy ball advances the upgrade meter, and the player may choose to activate the currently highlighted upgrade at any time. Each game begins with three lives; active ship upgrades stay in effect when a life is lost, although they do wear off after a while. On the other hand, some of them have additional levels which improve the power-up's effect if applied more than once.</p>

<p><em>Chess Simulator</em> is a chess game which offers the standard features: playing chess against the AI which can be set in a number of different levels suited for beginners and advanced players (the maximum ELO rating is 2150); optionally with an advice option which tries to teach chess to the player. Graphical features include a number of different pieces and the option to change the angle and zoom of the 3D playfield. Of course it is also possible to use a top-down perspective. The game also provides a way to calculate the user's ELO score: the program presents 24 situations and the player must provide likely moves within two minutes.</p>

<p>This unofficial add-on disc contains more than 100 levels for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness</a>.</p>

<p><em>PretzelDash</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a> variant that's all about curled-up salty baked goods. The premise of its classic 8-bit predecessor remains intact: the protagonist is sent down to the pretzel mines, digging for grub and (hopefully) avoiding the numerous lurking dangers - falling boulders, wandering monsters, explosions and inescapable traps. However, other mission types exist in addition to the usual stage goal of eating a set number of pretzels.</p>
<p>These missions differ between stages, and range from merely reaching the exit intact to performing arbitrary tasks on unsuspecting objects and enemies. The enemies (brown monsters) may have things dropped on them, and the resulting explosion can open up inaccessible areas; in contrast, the blue monsters are harmless, and sometimes have to be exploited and manipulated to complete the mission. Some objects obey the laws of gravity - rocks and pretzels roll off and pile up when unsupported by dirt. Others do not, and the green balloons rise up in the air instead of falling down. Instead of a time limit for each mission, the time limit is merely recorded for scoring purposes.</p>

<p><em>Dunjax</em> chronicles the exploits of a space-traveling adventurer who has just crashed his ship on a newly-discovered planetoid. The uncharted sphere appears to have a breathable atmosphere and its own alien inhabitants; unfortunately, when the protagonist awakens from his daze, he finds that a crucial part of the ship's propulsion system has gone missing in action - stolen, or (worse yet) eaten, by the curious (or simply hungry?) natives. Their tracks lead to a series of caves, which must be explored to find the missing part... hopefully in an undigested state.</p>
<p>Our intrepid explorer is equipped with an automatic handgun and with levitation boots, which allow for extended jumping acrobatics. The caves can be explored in a quasi-open world fashion, and each one has an exit hidden somewhere within the maze of the dangerous chambers, locked doors, slanted chutes, rocky spikes and lava pools; many walls and floor tiles hide secret passages, which in some cases function as traps. The hostile cave-dwellers do not enjoy human intrusions, and will attempt to take out the player by draining away his lives (which function as hit-points).</p>
<p>The action is viewed from a side-scrolling 2D perspective, which considers the protagonist's vision - areas not in direct line-of-sight will remain in the dark until explored. A password is provided at the end of each level, so that the game can always be continued from the next one.</p>

<p><em>C-Mato</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3173/snake-variants/">Snake-type</a> game which brings its own rules and options to the table, although the familiar game mechanics are still here: you guide a wiggling worm (brown) through a rectangular playfield, eating apples (red and orange) to grow and to score points. Reversing, doubling up on your own tail, or slamming into obstacles will put an end to your indulgence. The twist lies in the four available game modes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Normal</strong> - eating apples will spawn new wall blocks, although they're removed whenever the screen gets too crowded. As long as you go in a straight line, every apple you eat will double in value (1, 2, 4 points and so on); making a turn will reset the value to 1.</li>
<li><strong>Slow</strong> - as above, but at half speed. Points are only awarded for <em>every other</em> apple, although the bonuses for straight-line sequences can get larger.</li>
<li><strong>Tactical</strong> - no new wall blocks appear. The first apple eaten after a turn scores no points, so straight-line streaks must be exploited to rack up a good score.</li>
<li><strong>Tactical II</strong> - as above, except that making a turn <em>takes away</em> one point; however, this game mode features the most lucrative straight-line bonuses.</li>
</ul>
<p>The top 9 scores are kept on file, and for an extra competitive touch, your current ranking is constantly shown and updated as you play. C source is included with the game.</p>

<p><em>Desert Race</em> holds the possible distinction of being the first (and only?) animated driving game programmed entirely as a DOS batch file. This implies all the expected limitations - system commands only, no real graphics/hardware access, and the absence of most useful programming constructs. Nevertheless, it manages to implement a top-down car race in ASCII graphics, albeit without real-time continuous play (the game waits for a keypress before advancing to the next frame).</p>
<p>There's even a story, in which you set forth on a brutal race for survival in a post-apocalyptic Mad Max-style scenario. The game takes place at night, and so only a section of the road is visible, fading to black at the edges; your only controls are moving left and right to switch lanes, trying to avoid incoming cars as they emerge from the darkness. Colliding with a car (or with the edge of the road) will permanently extinguish your road rage.</p>

<p>Another Tetris variant springs forth from the demoscene, this time with a hatful of different options and game modes. The basic single-player mode provides the familiar experience of piling up falling, rotatable blocks and scoring points by completing full horizontal lines. Team play allows up to four players (on the same keyboard!) to join forces for a cumulative score, piling on the blocks cooperatively into a single extended pit. Then there's competitive mode, where 2 or 3 players battle each other simultaneously in separate pits: in this mode, each player gets a 'mana' meter which is filled up by eliminating lines. Mana can be used to 'cast' various powers which either aid the player, or screw over the opponents.</p>
<p>Finally, Rotate mode is a predecessor to the group's later <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4007/tetripz/">Tetripz</a> - the screen continuously tilts, zooms and rotates during play, creating a trippy effect along with the swirling <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/1553/software-diversions-inc/">Moraff</a>-esque backgrounds; the motion gets crazier with each successive level. The game keeps a database of all players, complete with stats, efficiency, history and separate password-protected profiles.</p>

<p>This tile-flipping puzzle game is a forerunner to the author's later creation, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Quadromania">Quadromania</a>. The 10x10 game board is made up of tiles that can be cycled through 5 different states. Clicking a tile will also modify the eight neighboring tiles; cells on the edge of the board, which aren't surrounded by eight tiles, cannot be clicked.</p>
<p>The board is jumbled by the computer, and the objective is to return it to its original state (all grey tiles) without taking too many moves. There are five difficulty levels, which determine how much vandalism is inflicted on the board at the start of the game - higher levels require more moves to solve.</p>

<p><em>Rocks</em> is an <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8872/asteroids/">Asteroids</a> clone. Much like in the zap-'em-up hit from the arcades, you find yourself inexplicably trapped in a rectangular region of space that wraps around on itself on all four sides, populated by successive waves of asteroids being hurled in random directions. Your turn and thrust controls allow your ship to cruise around the playfield, equipped with a frontal mounted blaster to dispatch the wandering lumps of space rock. You can also brake to restrain your inertial motion.</p>
<p>Blasting apart a large rock causes it to split in two, and the same goes for the resulting fragments, until the smallest chunks are eliminated. Each consecutive wave brings more asteroids into play, and occasionally a suspiciously-square alien craft will drop in to menace you as well.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/32331/mazzembly-1997/">Mazzembly 1997</a> receives an extra dimension in this extended tribute remake, which still stars aspiring demoscener Demulamu as he tours the "virtual reality demo party", trying to accumulate eliteness and fame on his path to scene g0dhood. His escapades now take the form of a 3D dungeon crawler, where the randomly-generated levels are experienced from a first-person view; climbing up the ranks will involve wandering around, interacting, finding/buying/using items, participating in party events, and/or resorting to violence (booze optional).</p>
<p>The typical scenedudes still infest the party place - lamers, elites, and organizers, now joined by traders, reporters, and the dreaded Q-Bitches. There's a new Energy stat (rechargable by sleeping or eating), which will determine your combat prowess, and some more pathways to notoriety: for instance, collected hard drives can now be used to submit compo entries for money prizes and fame. Money can also buy food, drink, maps, radar equipment and even heavy weaponry; boozing may result in harsh disciplinary action, but (of course) makes you more ELiTE. Your goal is to build up as much fame as you can before the end of the party... or die trying!</p>

<p>This unofficial add-on disc contains more than 1300 levels and 100 tools &amp; editors for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Duke+Nukem+3D">Duke Nukem 3D</a>.</p>

<p><em>Sokoban</em> (this version of it, anyway) is a compact implementation of the classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1715/soko-ban/">crate-pushing puzzler</a>, squeezing the whole thing into a 1KB executable (with only 256 bytes of code - the rest is level data). Written in assembly and utilizing ASCII graphics, it puts you in the shoes of an average At-sign, attempting to solve levels by pushing the boxes (dollar signs) into their target spots (dots), while taking care not to get yourself (or any of the boxes) hopelessly stuck. There are six levels, identical to the first six in the original game; source code is included.</p>

<p><em>Amoba</em> is a variation on Gomoku (also known as Five in a Row), played on an extended go board of 28x18 squares. Only one human player (blue) participates, with the computer (red) for an opponent; both sides take turns placing a piece on one of the empty squares, filling it with the respective color. The goal of each side is to attain a sequence of five occupied squares in a row before the opponent does - whether vertically, horizontally or diagonally. The game is controlled using the mouse, and other than the dimensions of the gameboard, the only real departure from the traditional board game is the colorful animated backdrop.</p>

<p>Another wall demolition game inspired by <a href="/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a>, starring a movable paddle whose task is to deflect the always-moving ball and use it to smash as many bricks as possible. Some bricks will yield the usual array of useful power-ups to be caught by the paddle; when you lose all your balls, the game is over. <em>BOLTX</em> offers four selectable game modes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Classic</strong> - the typical game with static level layouts: destroy everything to proceed from one level to the next.</li>
<li><strong>Infinite</strong> - plays like a single, continuous level; new lines of bricks appear regularly at the top, and the rest are pushed down. If the bricks make it all the way to the bottom, you lose.</li>
<li><strong>2-Player</strong> - simultaneous Infinite mode: each player controls a paddle in a separate playfield.</li>
<li><strong>Duel</strong> - as above, but in "survival mode": if either player loses a ball, both playfields are reset, and the last man standing wins.</li>
</ul>
<p>All of the above are playable in four difficulty settings - simple, normal, hard and turbo, which determine the initial ball speed. The game keeps a record of the top 8 scores (for Classic mode only), and the top player gets a verbal evaluation displayed under the title.</p>

<p>A self-styled "retro remake" of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10255/lady-bug/">older game</a> from Universal with the same name, taking up a compact 4 KB and most closely resembling the ColecoVision or Commodore 64 versions. Just like in the original, you control a ravenous ladybug in a maze filled with nutritious "x" symbols, which you must devour to proceed to the next level. The border that rings the maze also serves as an animated timer, and on each full rotation a new enemy bug will spawn at the center.</p>
<p>These bugs will try and hunt you down, but they can be thwarted by using the revolving doors which change positions when used (altering the layout of the maze). Once they're all out of their lair, a special food item can be collected to freeze them for a while. Poisonous skulls are lethal both for you and for the enemy bugs, but other items can be more profitable, depending on their color when they're picked up: hearts will increase your score multiplier, and letters can be collected to spell out "EXTRA" and "SPECIAL" for bonuses.</p>

<p>A 9KB remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8872/asteroids/">Asteroids</a>: your ship is confined to a wrap-around sector of space, and your job is to survive the onslaught of incoming space rocks by pulverizing them into smaller and smaller bits. The ship is maneuvered by rotating and thrusting - this adaptation simulates some friction, so there's no endless inertial movement; you can also thrust in reverse. The green bar at the bottom indicates the status of your shields, which get drained by collisions <em>and</em> by your continuous-fire weapon, which makes it important to conserve energy. When the shields are completely down, your ship will crumple at the slightest touch; fortunately, the smallest asteroids drop green energy balls when destroyed, and picking them up will recharge the shields.</p>

<p><em>Przygody Krzysia</em> is a simple platform game, where the player may only walk, without jumping or any other activities. The goal of each chamber is same - gathering all the treasures scattered on the location. Contact with bats and obstacles takes some energy level. Falling from the high is completely painless. Numerous doors may be opened with the keys. The main difficulty is picking direction - wrong choice may finish in a blind alley. The game features 31 levels.</p>

<p><em>F-Tetris</em> is a pretty classic Tetris clone for DOS. It includes three difficulty levels, high-scores and joypad support. The graphical interface is basic, but clean and straightforward. A monochrome mode is also available, for very old computers. One notable feature of the game is its "Bastard!" game mode, that makes the game avoid providing you with blocks that you need the most.</p>

<p><em>Jenny of the Prairie</em> focuses on a girl who stranded in the prairie after being separated from her wagon train in 1842. As Jenny, the player must prepare for the coming winter by gathering food and having a warm shelter by the time it get's cold. The historical background and the challenge presented are also meant to foster problem solving skills among children, specifically girls.</p>
<p>At the beginning, a choice of three different skill levels is offered, and the player is also asked if he wants to build a lean-to in a clearing, or tame a fox and live in a cave. Afterwards, the main quest for survival starts, in which multiple screens can be explored with the character. Jenny can be moved and interact with the environment via keyboard commands. Scores can be displayed for monitoring progress concerning the collection of firewood, food, and a cape for the winter. Certain actions such as picking up things require the input of words. An example of a useful tool is the spear, which may be used for hunting. The player does not necessarily need to kill animals, as plants also can serve as food sources (berries are an example), but there is wildlife such as a rattlesnake which poses danger and may end the game when Jenny encounters it.</p>

<p><em>TinyTris</em> approximates the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/42121/tetris/">Game Boy version of Tetris</a> as a PC game in less than 3 KB. It only implements the classic game mode, known as "A-type" in the Game Boy version: move, rotate and drop the falling 4-piece blocks, stack them in a pile at the bottom of the pit, and form complete horizontal lines to eliminate them for points. The action speeds up on each new level, but instead of leveling up every ten lines, the proverbial kick up the arse arrives at increasing intervals - you advance a level when your line count is a power of two, which means that the difficulty ramp is more gradual.</p>

<p><em>Pitman</em> shares its general idea with an identically-named <a href="/search/?q=Pitman">Game Boy title</a>, although it isn't directly based on the latter. This puzzle platformer puts you in the shoes of a jovial stick figure prospecting for diamonds; your greedy little quest takes you through 22 different ANSI-styled levels. Each one is a puzzle unto itself, and your goal is to collect all the yellow diamonds by manipulating the environment to allow access - without getting trapped.</p>
<p>Brown walls can be pushed and stacked on top of each other, blue walls disappear on touch, and diamonds are picked up by simply walking into them. However, such interaction is only possible when walking left or right: for instance, you cannot pick up a diamond (or dig through a blue wall) by landing on top of it, or by climbing up a ladder from below. You start with five lives, and lose one if you restart the current level, or skip to the next one; on the other hand, a new game can be started from any level.</p>

<p>This flippant side-scrolling platformer states its "anti-remake" philosophy in no uncertain terms: starring as <em>X-Men</em>'s Wolverine, you get to hop, skip and jump across the pastoral landscape while savagely butchering such mainstays of video game lore as Mario, Sonic and Alex Kidd, who have somehow been cloned into a rampaging army bent on gory violence. They'll attempt to thwart you with their hand-to-hand combat skills; you can return the favor using your kicks and punches, or find more efficient means to deal with them - such as miniguns, bazookas and flame-throwers.</p>
<p>You lose a life when your energy meter goes down to zero, either in combat or as a result of environmental hazards. All characters are procedurally animated in bouncy "ragdoll" fashion, which enables certain flexible acrobatic feats, as well as very messy dismemberment. The entire game takes up 32 KB of executable code; the full source is included (Turbo Pascal 7 with inline assembly), as well as the tools used to create it, including the level editor.</p>

<p>In <em>Mice Men</em>, two players compete in order to see which can be the first to get all of their 12 mice to the other side of the 19 by 13 board of cheese blocks. The board is randomized at the start of a game, but the blue mice are always placed in the first nine columns from the left and the red mice in the first nine columns from the right. The player which gets the first move is also decided randomly.</p>
<p>Gameplay consists of each player taking turns moving one column up or down by one unit. The columns wrap around, so moving one down will place what used to be at the bottom at the top, and moving one up will do the reverse. After a move, all the player's mice that no longer have their path blocked will move forward as far as they can, then any of the opponent's mice that can now also move will do so as well.</p>
<p>Players can only move columns on which they have at least one mouse. In addition, a player will be unable to move a column even if they have at least one mouse on it if the opponent had just moved that same column or if, in their previous turn, they had moved it for the sixth time in a row. These limits do not apply if the player has all remaining mice on the same column.</p>
<p>In case each player has only one mouse remaining, a turn limit applies, the game ending no more than eight turns later even if neither managed to get their sole remaining mouse to the other side of the board. In this situation, the player whose mouse is further along will be declared the winner. If both mice are equally close to their goal at that moment, the game is considered a draw.</p>
<p>In the shareware version, the game can only be played against the computer, which will always play with the red mice. In the registered version, two human players can also play against each other.</p>

<p>In this advergame for the German news magazine "Der Spiegel" the player is responsible for guiding the information beam of a news satellite to the Spiegel editorial staff. The problem is that space isn't empty as there are planets between the satellite and its destination. To reach the goal parabolic reflectors have to be arranged to lead the beam. As the game progresses new elements like signal enhancers and diverters are introduced. Each level has a time limit. Games can be saved and a highscore list is included.</p>

As commander of the GUARDIAN, the player must find all ships of the Alien empire by locating them using the scanner, firing torpedoes while defending against enemy attacks by raising the shields.</p>

<p><em>Stellar Explorer: The Drosi Encounter</em> is a single-player, keyboard controlled adventure/exploration game. The player takes the role of the captain of a space ship. A Drosi ship is trapped in a decaying orbit and your mission is initially to rescue the crippled spacecraft. However there is a much more to the story than that. The Drosi have been known for some time, they even speak a form of English, but they broke off all contact some time ago. As the story unfolds the reasons for this, the secret of the Drosi will be revealed.</p>
<p>The game is played from a top-down point of view. The player is a brown circle, crew members are green circles and so on. Movement is done via the numeric keypad. NUM LOCK must be on, all other commands displayed on screen and are single letters. For example to talk to someone the player presses 'C' for Converse. They then use the numeric keypad to target the being they wish to talk to and press 'C' again. If they have anything to say it pops up in a dialogue box. Scanning, 'S', and shooting, 'T' for Target, are handled in the same way.</p>

It is one of a trilogy of games, the others being <a href="/search/?q=Pirada+II:+The+Powerful">Pirada II: The Powerful</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Pirada+III:+The+Invincible">Pirada III: The Invincible</a>, parts two and three of the trilogy were only available to those who registered the shareware game.</p>
<p>As far as game-play goes this is a bit like a blackjack version of <em>Poker Squares</em> but with elements of <em>Minesweeper</em> thrown in.<br>
The player starts with three lives and twenty-five cards laid out face down in a 5x5 grid. By clicking on a card they turn it over the object being to achieve blackjack, a score of twenty-one, in as many horizontal and vertical lines as possible. For every score of twenty one they achieve the player receives a credit. Every time they fail to score at least one blackjack score they lose a life.<br>
Some cards will reveal a grenade when turned over, when this happens the player must declare their hand before the grenade explodes (it's on a countdown timer) otherwise they lose a life. Later in the game cards with balloons appear, these allow the player to exchange credits for an extra life.</p>
<p>There is no save game feature, nor is there a high score table.</p>

<p><em>Adventure Math</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled, edutainment title aimed at teaching math via simple sums. The shareware version allows the player to practice addition and subtraction while the full version, <a href="/search/?q=Adventure+Math+Deluxe">Adventure Math Deluxe</a>, also includes division, multiplication, additional sounds and graphics and a timer.</p>
<p>There are ten levels of difficulty which all play the same and have a medieval theme. The game asks a series of addition or subtraction questions such as "12 + ? = 54" or "54 - ? = 12" and the player has to type in the correct answer. In this, the shareware release, the player is not timed. At the end of a round of questions the player / pupil is shown their score, the questions they got wrong, and gets the option to print a report card. If the player gets enough questions right they enter the bonus round where the questions are in the same format but the player answers by shooting the right number from the three choices at the top of the screen.</p>
<p>There is the option to print a score card but other than that there is no high score table and no save game function.</p>

<p><em>Pyramid</em> is an implementation of the classic card game 'Pyramid Solitaire'. The standard game is a single-player game, but the tour mode can be played against the computer, another player, or as a series of single games.</p>
<p>The player is presented with a pyramid of twenty-eight cards. There is also a draw pile and a discard pile. Cards may be removed from the pyramid and/or the draw and waste piles two at a time if they are completely uncovered and their face values total thirteen. A King counts as thirteen and can be removed by itself, a queen counts as twelve and can be removed if paired with an ace, a jack pairs with a two, a ten with a three and so on. If no cards can be discarded, the top card of the discard pile can be replaced with a fresh card from the draw pile. The object is to discard all of the cards in the pyramid, the pack and the waste piles.</p>
<p>The game can be played in two modes, a single match mode or a tour mode. There is no high score table and no save game function, but the game does play a pretty tune if the player achieves a positive score.</p>

<p><em>TeleCards</em> is a set of card games that can be played against the computer or against another person via either a modem or a serial link. The three games available are Crazy Eights, Cribbage and Gin Rummy. They are played with the mouse and they can be saved and resumed at a later time.</p>

<p><em>World War II Trivia</em> is a shareware, or "try before you buy", quiz game for up to four players. This is a 'Trivia Shell' game meaning that the basic software can be applied to many different subjects by changing the load screen and question packs.</p>
<p>The game has three levels of difficulty which it applies to the same question pack. For example given the question "Where was the first major land action in the Pacific involving the Marines?" on the Beginner setting the player would be given the answer and True/False buttons; on the Intermediate setting the player would be given four choices; and on the Advanced setting the player would have to type in the complete answer. With multiplayer games it is possible to have players on different difficulty settings - useful when parents are playing against children for example. </p>

<p><em>Roboto</em> is a single-player shareware game, similar to <a href="/search/?q=Robotron+2084">Robotron 2084</a>. The object of this keyboard controlled shooter game is to stay alive while surrounded by baddies. The game starts with the player's character in the centre of the screen. Baddies warp into the game area in random positions and the player must shoot them all before they are shot or caught. The game is keyboard controlled with eight keys for the left hand to aim with and eight keys for the right hand to move the character, the spacebar fires the weapon. </p>
<p>The shareware version has twenty-four levels, registered version has over one hundred levels plus a high score table and Sound Blaster support.</p>

<p><em>Rapid Response</em> is a shareware, hex based, single-player trilogy of war games. The shareware release consists of part one of the trilogy, it has eight scenarios each of which can take between one and five hours or more to complete. The scenarios are varied, unusually some of them state that the player is not expected to win but to hold out as long as possible. In all games the player commands the yellow forces and plays against the blue forces of the computer. All games are played out on a hex map which is depicted on four overlapping screens. There are three kinds of combat:* In-Hex Battle: as implied by the name, this is where both opposing ground forces occupy the same cell. Units involved in battle cannot be moved until the outcome is resolved.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Dog-Fight: here both opposing forces have altitude units in the same cell, again units cannot be moved until the fighting is over.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Range Attack: here a range weapon is used to strike a hex or air unit. Where the target hex contains units of both sides they are equally likely to take damage</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The game is largely keyboard controlled but a joystick can be used for some functions.</p>

<p><em>Hugo: Äventyret går vidare</em> features the Danish TV-troll Hugo, having to save his family by from an evil witch, by avoiding traps in four arcade mini-games. This is the second release in a series of mini-games, based on the TV-show, here loosely strung together to make a package. The same four games were later re-released as <em>Hugo Classic 4</em>.</p>
<p>The four minigames in this package are:* Snowboard: A winter game. Hugo climbs a mountain when the witch blows up a bomb causing an avalanche. Hugo rides a snowboard downhill, avoiding large snowballs and evil snowmen blocking his way. There is also path choices to make, by looking at a map, to avoid being caught by the avalanche.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Nimbus: here Hugo rides around a mountain on a Danish vintage motorcycle brand called 'Nimbus', with the goal being the witches cave, and a treasure chest there. On the mountain path he has to avoid rocks falling from above, goats trying to push him off the path, and at the same time pick up fuel canisters and bags of coins. Again, there is a map to follow, as the path branches off along the way to other more dangerous caves.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Underjorden: Hugo explores an underground labyrinth of tunnels, slowly filling with rising water. A map is essential to find elevators and climbing ropes; in the tunnels are monsters such as dragons and jumping skulls to avoid.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Ballong: Hugo has to fly in a leaky balloon, following a map to his final goal, landing in a cave without touching the walls.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Provided the player clears/avoids all obstacles, there is a short movie sequence after each mini-game showing the main story of Hugo's adventures unfolding. The game keeps a hi-score list for all games and players, shown after some idle time waiting in the main menu. There are two modes of playing difficulty, an easier TV-mode, and a more difficult Arcade mode, each of which has its own hi-score list.</p>

<p><em>Tommy's Backgammon</em> is a single-player shareware game. As with most of Tommy's games it uses character graphics and is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force either a colour or monochrome display. This game has nine skill levels, and a choice of Dutch or Standard backgammon (in Dutch backgammon all the pieces start on the Bar). It allows a player to pass their turn and has options for Dares and Take-Back's.</p>
<p>All the stations are numbered, the white tokens move clockwise around the board from station one to twenty-four, the black/red tokens move in the opposite direction from station twenty-four to one. Moves are made by entering the start and end positions for example 17-22 to move a white token five spaces or 17-12 to move a black token five spaces. The game also accepts 17+22 or 17+12 and 17 'SPACE' 22 or 17'SPACE'12 for the same moves. 'B' is used when a token is moved off the BAR and 'O' is used to move a token off the board or alternatively white can also move to position twenty-five and black can move to zero.</p>

<p><em>Facetrex</em> is a single-player, block moving, keyboard controlled puzzle, shareware puzzle game. The shareware game contains twenty-five puzzles and five puzzle solutions, the full registered game contains fifty puzzles and has solutions to all of them.</p>
<p>The puzzles are numbered and can be played in any order, they are all played on a grid on which are blocks each of which has a different picture of a face. Also on the grid there are a corresponding number of 'negatives', one for each face on the blocks. The player controls a little red man who occupied one cell on the grid, this man can push any of the face blocks up, down, or to either side. When pushed a block will continue moving until it hits another block or the side of the grid. Blocks cannot be pulled so once a block hits a wall it stays there. Some puzzles also contain black cells which cannot be moved and/or green cells which can only be moved one block at a time.</p>

<p><em>Isle Wars</em> is a single-player, shareware, mouse controlled <em>Risk</em>-like game. The object of the game is to conquer all nine islands. The player always plays as the Blue army and the computer plays the other three adversaries, the Green, Red and Brown. The game has four levels of difficulty which varies the number of countries the player occupies at the start of the game, sound, and a save/load function.</p>

<p><em>Battle for Atlantis</em> is a single-player, shareware, keyboard controlled <em>Risk</em>-like game. The object of the game is to conquer all eight islands. The player always plays as the Olympians and the computer plays as the other three adversaries, the Calydonians, Argonauts, and the Titans.</p>
<p>The game starts by asking the player for a difficulty setting, 1 is Easy and 7 is Hard, and follows this by asking for the maximum number of armies that can be in any country at the start of a game. When the game starts, the computer decides who goes first, the players take turns. In each turn they place their armies, then they may optionally attack any neighboring country and finally when all attacking is completed they may move armies from one country to an adjacent country.</p>
<p>The attacking phase is managed by the computer, once initiated the game reports the outcome, i.e. how many armies each side has remaining, and asks the player if the attack should continue. Attacks can continue until the attacker aborts, wins or loses the battle.</p>
<p>During the game rebellions may break out, natural hazards such as earthquakes, flooding may strike, or god weather may increase crops and hence the ability of a country to support more armies.</p>

<p><em>Ultris: The Ultimate Tetris</em> is a one- or two-player, shareware implementation of <em>Tetris</em> and <em>Vertris</em> (aka <em>Columns</em>). The game is played on a vertically split screen with each player, assuming there are two players, having their own area of the screen. Both players can use keyboard controls or, alternatively, one player can use the mouse. The game supports 2 player simultaneous regular, co-operative, and competitive Tetris and Vertris.* In regular play players receive their own bricks and play independently. It is possible to set up the games so that one player plays Ultris and the other plays Vectris</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>In co-operative mode each player controls the positioning of their own bricks and the bricks for the right hand player appear in both their window and as a half-image' the window of the left hand player and vice versa.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In competitive mode each player has their own, usually different bricks. in Competitive Ultris when a player completes a line a line of bricks, with random spaces, is added to the bottom of the opposing player's screen. In competitive Vertris when a player completes a line the same blocks appear on the opposing players screen, randomly positioned.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Taxi Run</em> is a single-player, mouse controlled, shareware, puzzler. The gameplay here is very similar to games like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2112/pipe-dream/">Pipe Dream</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Pipe+Mania">Pipe Mania</a> and the many variants they spawned. In those games the player had to alter the flow of a liquid by placing pieces of piping into a grid. Here the pieces are already in place in a 9x9 grid but instead of being pieced of piping they are sections of road.</p>
<p>The objective of the game is to change the path of the roads so that the taxi driver can pick up their passenger and deliver them to their destination. The player has two cars and must earn enough in fares within the time limit of their shift in order to progress to the next level. The roadways are already in place and are rotated by clicking on them with a mouse. When a roadway has been used it becomes unavailable to the player later in the game until the next passenger has been picked up.</p>
<p>The game is further complicated by having a game area slightly larger than the visible screen which can make finding and dropping off a passenger a bit tricky, Also there are bridges that lead off-screen. If the taxi follows one of these roads it cannot return to earn more money so the turn ends.</p>
<p>The game has much in common with Soleau Software's other games: <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4174/ant-run/">Ant Run</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/59476/beetle-run/">Beetle Run</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/50593/spider-run/">Spider Run</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/59292/wall-pipe/">Wall Pipe</a>.</p>

<p><em>Women of the World Trivia</em> is a shareware, or "try before you buy", quiz game for up to four players. This is a 'Trivia Shell' game meaning that the basic software can be applied to many different subjects by changing the load screen and question packs.</p>
<p>The game has three levels of difficulty which it applies to the same question pack. For example given the question "Who was the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in 1976?" on the Beginner setting the player would be given the answer and True/False buttons; on the Intermediate setting the player would be given four choices; and on the Advanced setting the player would have to type in the complete answer. With multiplayer games it is possible to have players on different difficulty settings - useful when parents are playing against children for example. </p>

<p><em>Tommy's Tenpins</em> is a single-player, shareware game for up to four people. As with most of Tommy's games it uses character graphics and is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and command line switches which, among other things, can start the game with sound turned off and/or force either a colour or monochrome display.</p>
<p>This game has nine skill levels, in-game instructions, a high score table and basic sound. The lower half of the screen is given over to a representation of a bowling lane running left to right. On the far left the ball, represented by a 'O' character, moves up and down at the end of the lane with great speed. The player has to judge the right time to press the spacebar to release their ball. The ball travels in a straight line across the screen where the pins are set up. Success here depends on timing, there's no allowance for spin, or the speed or weight of the ball.</p>

<p><em>Kosynka</em> is a single-player, mouse controlled card game. This is a Russian solitaire game, "Kosynka" means "Big Scarf". It is played with two decks and is very similar to the popular solitaire game Klondike. Cards are built up in suits on their foundations starting with the Ace and ending with the King. In the main game area the player moves cards around, and adds to them from the stack, arranging them in order highest to lowest in sequential order, alternating between the red and black suits so, for example, a red ten would be played on a black jack. This game has save, load, repeat game and undo functions.</p>

<p><em>Fintris</em> is a shareware <em>Tetris</em> based game from Finland. This implementation is entirely keyboard controlled. It has three game modes, a usual single player mode, a simultaneous mode where two players play side by side, and a duel mode where players compete over a number of games to outscore each other with the same blocks.</p>
<p>There's an additional, optional, refinement called 'mana' which is described as "a sort of energy that you can use to activate cannons and manipulate the block queue". Mana is accumulated during game play and by clearing lines, it allows the player to zap awkward lines with the cannon and to use the 'Remove Block' and 'Duplicate Block' options. In addition the game can be played with standard blocks, or with two extended block sets, has a high score table and music.</p>
<p>The shareware game is fully playable but displays annoying in-game messages ranging from random quotations to reminders to register. The registered version has mouse and sound blaster support, custom game configurations so the player does not have to re-select their preferred options again, and the in-game messages disappear. The game plays in Finnish, English or German.</p>

<p><em>Operation Just Because</em> is a single-player implementation of the classic <em>Battleship</em> game. In this game the player can play against either another person or one of three AI opponents of different strengths, though the toughest opponent is not available in the shareware version. </p>
<p>The game is played on a grid and starts with the player(s) placing their fleet and then firing into the opponents grid until all ships of one side have been destroyed, once the player has fired the scene changes to give an animated view of the shot landing. This implementation has a couple of novel optional features:* Fighters: each player has one stealth fighter that flies from the aircraft carrier. They are equipped with guided missiles and make random attacks on the enemy. Their effectiveness increases when the enemy's jammers are damaged/destroyed</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>IR Scopes and Jammers: used to identify targets, yellow dots show possible targets, red shows targets on fire, blue low heat targets such as mines.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Mines: the game places one or two randomly mines in each grid. Anything within two squares will be hit if they are detonated</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The game can be played with the keyboard or the mouse, has sound effects, and a high score table.</p>

<p><em>Tribolo</em> is a single-player game based on the traditional board game Othello. Where this game differs from most other Othello based games is that there are two computer opponents, the player is always blue while the computer plays as red and green. The game starts with twelve tiles of each colour scattered around the game area together with twelve grey tiles which are 'no-go- cells. This gives the game its other major difference in that the board is not fixed, the position of these grey cells varies from game to game.</p>

<p><em>General Trivia</em> is a shareware, or "try before you buy", quiz game for up to four players. This is a 'Trivia Shell' game meaning that the basic software can be applied to many different subjects by changing the load screen and question packs.</p>
<p>The game has three levels of difficulty which it applies to the same question pack. For example given the question "Who was the first president of the US to win a Nobel peace Prize?" on the Beginner setting the player would be given the answer and True/False buttons; on the Intermediate setting the player would be given four choices; and on the Advanced setting the player would have to type in the complete answer.<br>
With multiplayer games it is possible to have players on different difficulty settings - useful when parents are playing against children for example. </p>
<p>The game has a hint feature and a high score table that shows the top five scores for each difficulty setting. If the player answers five correct questions in a row they are rewarded with a bonus question. Games can be configured to be any length, the default is thirty questions, and can be restricted to particular topics. There is an optional hint feature.</p>
<p>The shareware game has just 105 questions while the registered games have either three hundred (Classic), six hundred (Deluxe) or a thousand questions (Gold).</p>

<p><em>World Class Rugby: Five Nations Edition</em> is an updated version of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/453/world-class-rugby/">World Class Rugby</a> that was released the year before. The gameplay is largely the same but has remade AI and simplified controls.

<p><em>TopChallenge</em> is a German release bundled for free with Verbatim's recordable media, to celebrate the data storage company's 25th anniversary. Each of the game's five levels presents a different sporty challenge - beating the score threshold reveals a code-word, to be written down in the enclosed coupon. The full coupon (with all five phrases) could then be mailed to the company to participate in a contest for various prizes, ranging from a trip to the Rocky Mountains to snazzy sportswear(!). The five events are:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Freeclimber</strong> - work your way up a cliffside using your bare hands (while trying to avoid getting your head smashed in by tumbling boulders).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Car Painter</strong> - somewhat like a motorized <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11418/amidar/">Amidar</a>, your aim is to repaint the gridlike playfield by enclosing individual squares with your car's trail while avoiding the two enemy cars.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Skysurfer</strong> - try to keep your skydiver centered on the screen by maneuvering against the ever-changing wind direction; if the gusts carry you off-screen, you lose.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Monster Painter</strong> - much like the Car Painter level, except you're chased by four green meanies instead of two cars; the monsters (and your character) are smaller, but the action is faster.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Mountain Biker</strong> - resembles <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7196/bcs-quest-for-tires/">BC's Quest for Tires</a>: your goal is to traverse the hardy mountain trail on two wheels; you can accelerate, brake or jump to avoid the rocks and potholes.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>The events may be played in sequence or individually. You're given three lives per level, and if you perform exceptionally well, you'll be gifted an additional score bonus - the points attained in each level are tallied for the final score.</p>

<p><em>Tic Tac Toe</em> is a basic implementation of original paper and pencil version. The player may compete only with computer. The game is entirely keyboard controlled by pressing 1-9 buttons, assigned to one field on the board.</p>

<p><em>Zmiy</em> is an adaptation of the classic concept of Snake games. The player has to guide a snake through a board to eat all digits, however feeding the snake makes it grow longer. To complete the level the player must eat 9 digits, each rewarded with 10 points. Hitting the wall, obstacle or own tail takes one life. One life costs 100 points. Each time the snake dies and have at least 100 points, 100 points are deducted from the score and the player may replay the same level. The speed of the game is linked to player score - bigger score means a higher speed. Each level introduces new type of obstacles. <em>Zmiy</em> is entirely controlled via the keyboard.</p>

<p><em>The Paddle</em> is a simple horizontal adaptation of the classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pong">Pong</a>. The game allows to compete with a computer or against a human player. Players control a paddle represented by a red or blue line. Paddles are on the opposite side of the screen, at the top and at the bottom. The game ends when one of the players cannot reflect the ball.</p>

<p><em>Emeritus Pong</em> is a clone of the <a href="/search/?q=Pong">Pong</a> game. It allows to compete with another player or against the computer. It features a single game mode as well, where the player may practice bouncing from the wall. There is a demo clock mode included, showing the current time. The gameplay itself remains unchanged. Players control a paddle represented by a white line. One paddle is on the right side of the screen, the other on the left. The current score is shown at the top.</p>

<p><em>Double Agent</em> is an enhanced clone of well known 8-bit computers hit <a href="/search/?q=Spy+vs.+Spy">Spy vs. Spy</a>. The game features numerous mission where the player competes with another human player or computer in the execution of the assignment. The tasks require carrying out specific actions before opponent, f.e. retrieve documents and escape from the building, find a camera and make photographs, kill other agent. In each location various items (heavy ball, electrical device, lit cigar) can be found that can be used for setting creative booby traps inside plants, desks, file cabinets and other furniture. All traps can be disarmed with objects found in the rooms. Contact with a trap takes some of the energy. Another difficulty is the third agent that appears after some time pledging traps and attacking the other two. Each agent has a shotgun, which can be used against the enemy. Death means the loss of all items and moves the agent to the initial position.</p>
<p>The DOS/Windows version includes an animated intro and in-game sequences, and allows the player to select one of four available characters.</p>

<p><em>Super Nibbly</em> is a Snake-variant where you control a worm in a maze, eating pills while growing.
The game is a successor to the previous game by the same developer, <a href="/search/?q=nibbly92">Nibbly '92</a><br>
.
The game starts with an overview map, where the snake moves on a path on a group of islands, going from location to location while having some non-interactive funny animation events on the way. At each named village, the game switches to a maze screen where the player can control the snake. The mazes are similar in layout as the Pac-Man style maze, a fixed single screen, only without enemies.  </p>
<p>The objective is for the snake to eat all pills/cookies in the maze, before returning to the overhead map and moving to the next location.  </p>
<p>The player controls the snake's movement one step at a time, and there is some strategy involved in navigating the mazes, while there also is a timer ticking down.  </p>
<p>The rules are that the snake can move forward, or to the side, and avoid being blocked by its own body from moving anywhere.  </p>
<p>Eating a pill makes the snake grow one segment longer. There are special objects appearing in the maze for a limited time, that can affect how the snake grows (longer/shorter), or give extra points, a time extension or a special object called a 'puck'. In some locations there are dead-ends, which if entered could trap the snake, but it can shoot a puck (which looks as if it split off its head) into these locations, and so get all pills in the dead-end.  </p>
<p>Each location has multiple mazes to traverse before the player returns to the overhead map.  </p>
<p>Failing to avoid the snake's own body loses a life, and the maze restarts anew. Fail three times and it's game over.  </p>

The original <em>Adventure</em> had only a simple two-word command parser. This aspect of the game has been adapted to the modern standards.

After a successful crash landing, you have to find your way out of the aircraft and proceed to the nearest town, which just happens to be the ancient Petra.  </p>
<p>The story is split into three parts of very mixed up legends:  </p>
<p>The first part requires you to explore a hidden temple in Petra, and you are required to find the lost Fleece of Samson, who for some reason is described as an Egyptian Pharaoh.  </p>

<p>The game has German text only, and was produced as an advertising game for a German food producer (of French fries, Rösti etc.), but even so it does not contain any product placements.</p>

<p>The 1994 edition of <em>Holiday Lemmings</em> is the second full game in the series of Christmas-themed Lemmings games, after two free demos in 1991 and 1992 and a commercial 1993 version.</p>
<p>Gameplay is unchanged from the original game: players are tasked with leading a horde of Lemmings to the level exit by assigning them special abilities. The holiday theme shows in snow-covered landscapes and the Lemmings wearing Christmas outfits but, contrary to the 1993 version, not in the background music which is exactly the same as in "Oh no, More Lemmings!". The game includes 32 all-new levels, grouped into two difficulties: Frost and Hail. It also comes with all 32 levels from the 1993 version (Flurry and Blizzard difficulties).</p>

<p><em>Solid Ice</em> is an ice hockey game. It carries the NHLPA license and thereby features real NHL players but not the NHL license which means all teams are made up although they resemble the real teams in some ways. The game has a built-in editor which can be used to modify both teams and players. This includes names and statistics but also the teams' logos and uniforms.</p>
<p>The game features single exhibition games and a tournament mode which despite the name is a league where teams play each other a selectable number of times. The league can include any number of teams and in each match the player can choose to control either of the teams. There is also an option to auto play matches. The game uses two dimensional sprite graphics that are viewed from an angled side view perspective. Matches can be played against an AI or against another human player. Joysticks, mouse and keyboard can be used to play the game.</p>
<p>Options include disabling certain rules (two line passes, icings and offsides), fatigue and auto line changes as well as the length of periods (from three to twenty minutes). It's also possible to choose a referee profile: blind, normal or strict.</p>

<p>Credited as the first ever Croatian computer game, <em>Sraz</em> (freely translated as <em>Clash</em>) involves two to four players answering questions along the tiles of a board. Each tile is assigned to questions of one of the following fields: sports, history, geography, nature, music, general knowledge, art, and science, while some tiles are marked as "random", meaning a question from any of the other eight fields can appear. When a question is answered correctly, the player's peg moves to that tile. If not, he stays where he is. When five correct answers have been given with an individual peg, the peg ranks up, meaning he can attempt to visit one additional tile for each rank. There are three ranks: serf (default), soldier and knight.</p>
<p>A peg can enter a tile occupied by another player's peg. If both of two questions are answered correctly, the attacking peg ranks up and the opponent's peg is pushed back to a free adjacent tile and one rank is removed. If he is already a serf, he is removed from the board. However, if the attacking peg answers either question incorrectly, he is stripped of a rank (unless he is already a serf). A player's turn ends after all pegs adjacent to free tiles have moved or after a finished battle (regardless of the outcome).</p>
<p>The goal of the game is to prove the player's knowledge by advancing enough to eliminate all opponents' pegs and reach all opponents' flags found in the corners of the board. The game has a total pool of 1000 questions.</p>

<p><em>Commando Enhanced</em> is an unofficial remake of the arcade game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1618/commando/">Commando</a>. Like the original it is a 2D top-down shooter where the player controls a commando. He has a gun with an unlimited supply of ammo and several grenades, and he must go straightforward and kill enemies along the way way. Turrets can be destroyed by blowing them up.</p>
<p>While most gameplay elements resemble the original game, there are additions such as new enemy types, the ability to pick and use grenades, body armor and other items, and the ability to call in airstrikes.</p>

<p>This is an unofficial add on compilation for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/980/blood/">Blood</a>, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/936/redneck-rampage/">Redneck Rampage</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Outlaws">Outlaws</a>.
In total it includes more than 300 new level maps for that games, some patches and utilities.</p>

<p><em>Command &amp; Craft</em> is an unofficial add-on with more than 1800 new levels for <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II</a>.</p>

<p><em>Industrial Killers</em> is a short first-person shooter game that was created to showcase the capabilities of <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/pie-in-the-sky-software">Pie in the Sky Software</a>'s 3D Game Creation System. It replaced the earlier <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/meltdown__">Meltdown</a> one-level demo.</p>
<p>The story takes place in an unnamed South American country where a tropical area has been secretly converted into an industrial complex, apparently for the purposes of illegal experimentation. As sending regular troops to investigate proved useless, the government hired the best mercenary it could find to do the job. Assuming the role of this operative, the player must infiltrate the complex and deal with the mastermind behind the plot.</p>
<p>Unlike <em>Meltdown</em>, <em>Industrial Killers</em> features both indoor and outdoor areas with seamless transition between them, and places a much greater emphasis on combat. There are several types of enemies, and a number of weapons at the player's disposal to fight them.</p>
<p>The game only has a single-player mode.</p>
<p>Additionally, <em>Industrial Killers</em> includes a slideshow preview of the 3D Game Creation System, which is largely similar to the one found in <em>Meltdown</em> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/70425/3d-xmas-adventure-santas-rescue/">3D Xmas Adventure: Santa's Rescue</a>.</p>

<p><em>Glook</em> is a side-scrolling shooting game similar to <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/defender">Defender</a>. The player controls a small armed flying craft and must fend off invading aliens that try to abduct humans. To complete a stage, the player needs to destroy all Hunters, the aliens that that can capture humans, but there are also other types of aliens that attack the player.</p>
<p><em>Glook</em> can be played by one or two players on the same computer. In a two-player game, players take turns to fight the aliens until either the stage is complete or they run out of lives.</p>

<p><em>Chemical Warfare</em> is a first-person shooter game created with <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/company/pie-in-the-sky-software">Pie in the Sky Software</a>'s 3D Game Creation System.</p>
<p>The plot involves an unnamed Middle Eastern dictatorship that is secretly manufacturing chemical weapons. The player's objective is to infiltrate the military compound where production takes place, gain access to the underground facility and find the data disk with crucial information on the country's chemical weapons programme. After retrieving the disk, the player must make their way back to the surface while fighting enemy reinforcements. The game ends when the player makes it to the rescue helicopter outside the compound.</p>
<p><em>Chemical Warfare</em> spans across seven levels, each representing a portion of the military compound. As with other games running on the same engine, the player may freely move back and forth between the levels. In certain places the game generates scripted enemy reinforcements when the player revisits areas that have been completed earlier. There is no multiplayer mode.</p>

<p><em>Read 'N Roll</em> is an educational game that is meant to improve the player's reading comprehension skills in five areas: recognizing the main idea, recalling facts, identifying the sequence of events, drawing inferences and building vocabulary.</p>
<p>The game consists of five activities. The first four (main idea, facts, sequence and inferences) all work in the same way with the player first having to read a passage of text and then answer a question based on it. For each question there are four alternatives and the player gets two attempts to pick the right one. After answering twenty questions the player gets a score that is based on the number of correct answers and the number of attempts.</p>
<p>The fifth activity, Strike 'N Spares, is a bowling game where the player has to define words in context. A sentence is displayed with one word highlighted and the player has to pick out the correct meaning of the word from four alternatives. When answering correct a bowler will appear on the lane and move left and right. When in a good position the player presses a button and the ball will be launched. The game then works like a real game of bowling with the player attempting to take down as many pins as possible.</p>
<p>The program also contains an editor that allows the user to create new reading passages and questions.</p>

<p><em>Dimensions of the Past</em> is an expansion to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a> and requires the original version to play. It is created by MachineGames Sweden to celebrate the twentieth birthday of <em>Quake</em> and also with a promotional goal as the developer was working on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Quake:+Heroes">Quake: Heroes</a> at the time. It contains nine single-player levels, a start map for the three difficulty levels (with a fourth nightmare difficulty level hidden there as well), a secret map and a deathmatch arena. There are also three rolling demos with gameplay from the levels when the game is launched.</p>
<p>There are no new game elements such as textures, enemies and weapons, only the new levels. These are aimed at advanced <em>Quake</em> players. Even at the lowest difficulty level there are often many enemies that spawn at once, tight rooms to fight, and ammo is scarce. Each level has around five secrets and finding these is often required to get additional ammo or power-ups needed to clear the rooms.</p>

<p><em>Cybersphere</em> is an arcade game that is fundamentally similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9001/breakout/">Breakout</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1087/arkanoid/">Arkanoid</a>. The player controls a "paddle" that can move horizontally which is used to direct a bouncing ball to destroy "bricks" arranged in different patterns. Some bricks may take several hits to destroy, and often drop gems that add to the player's score if collected, or various power-ups, including a temporary floor that will prevent the ball from falling outside the playing field, an extra ball, a wider paddle or cannons that the player may use to destroy more bricks.</p>
<p>The game does not feature any kind of plot. The levels are broken down into several "sectors", with only the first one available in the demo version. In addition to regular levels, there are bonus stages that may be accessed by picking a certain bonus item during play.</p>

<p><em>WarWizard</em> is a role-playing game in a medieval fantasy setting. The player takes on the role of a WarWizard, a powerful character skilled both in combat and magic arts.</p>
<p>As the story goes, a Dark WarWizard rose to rule the land. It is the player's task to recover the Ancient Armor that was used to defeat the previous dark WarWizard, and rid the land of the current menace. The player starts alone and must build up his skills and acquire equipment and resources. Eventually, up to three other characters may join the player's party.</p>
<p>The game was distributed via the shareware model, with several complete quests included with the shareware version.</p>

<p><em>Dvorak on Typing</em> is a typing tutor developed in conjunction with computer columnist <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/776695/john-c-dvorak/">John C. Dvorak</a>. The program consists of lessons as well as a game. The lessons simply involve typing the keys shown on screen and there is a visual keyboard that highlights the location of the keys. On the screen are also two meters which give feedback on how well the player is doing, one for accuracy and one for WPM (words per minute). The lessons are voiced by either Dvorak himself, Tracy (a child's voice) or Loren (and adult women's voice). It is possible to use either a Qwerty or a Dvorak keyboard. Lessons can also be run in a timed mode.</p>
<p>In the game the player controls a medieval knight that fights evil adversaries. As the player types the knight on the screen will attack the enemy. Faster typing leads to the knight being more successful in the fight. After completing a number of lines of text the player is allowed to rest for a minute and can then watch the knight in action.</p>

<p><em>Cybersphere Plus</em> is an updated version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/79550/cybersphere/">Cybersphere</a> featuring completely new, more challenging levels. The core playing mechanics are the same as in the original <em>Cybersphere</em>.</p>

<p><em>Dave Winfield's Batter Up!</em> is an educational baseball game which was developed in conjunction with professional baseballer Dave Winfield. The program contains two parts, a tutorial called lessons with Dave Winfield and a game called Slugfest. The tutorial consists of five lessons teaching the techniques of the game: the grip, the stance, the pitch, the swing and hitting strategies. Included in the package is also a book called The Act of Hitting which expands on the lessons in the program. </p>
<p>The game, Slugfest, is exclusively about batting and the player can play alone or compete against up to three other players. The player hits against a series of eight pitchers each with a different style. Before starting one can choose stance to swing from, hitting left or right and which field to play on. Once out on the field the batter and the pitcher are viewed from a fixed third person perspective. As the ball is thrown the player has to press the right height key (high, medium or low) just as the ball passes by. Upon a hit a map will show the flight path of the ball and the result (single, foul ball, home run etc.) will be reported.</p>

<p>Deluxe version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/55034/penthouse-hot-numbers/">Penthouse Hot Numbers</a> is a new game with several new features. It includes a topless dance intro sequence and a female voice, commenting the game, as well as graphics is made in SVGA mode with a higher resolution. Now the game includes 10 levels with Penthouse models providing their profiles. If the player beats the opponent, three pictures of the current model are shown, otherwise the player is asked either to continue the play session or leave it. There are three difficulty levels of opponent's AI, time-limit mode, and hidden fields mode. When all ten opponents are beaten, the results may be stored in top ten high scores table.</p>
<p>The gameplay on each level is the same - the two opponents (the second either human or AI) compete on a 8x8 grid field. The players take turns and each one clicks on a field which has two effects: a part of the photograph is revealed and the player gets positive or negative points; depending on the field's colour. The catch is that one player can move the cursor only horizontally and the other is restricted to vertical movements. The game ends when no more moves are possible and the player with the most points wins.</p>

<p>This unofficial add-on disc contains more than 350 new cities and scenarios for <a href="/search/?q=SimCity+2000">SimCity 2000</a>. Also included are several cheats hints and utilities.</p>

<p>This adult version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/79921/electric-jigsaw/">Electric Jigsaw</a> combines the engine of the original game with 12 pictures of Penthouse USA 1990 Pets of the Month. The jigsaw puzzle is proposed for a size from 6 pieces to 294 pieces. Unlike the original, there are no picture animation and music tune, when the puzzle is completed. High scores based on the puzzle size and time for its solution are stored for each picture.</p>

<p>The jigsaw puzzle for 6 pictures (Ferrari, Castle, Pets, Sailboat, Sunset, World Map) is proposed for a size from 6 pieces to 294 pieces. Picture is animated and a music tune is played, when the puzzle is completed. High scores based on the puzzle size and time for its solution are stored for each picture.</p>

<p><em>Muscle Pete's Spell-Off</em> involves the player controlling the titular Muscle Pete. Your task is to spell out the objects that are displayed on the screen. This is accomplished by walking across the floor and touching letters that are above Pete. The game is designed as a way to teach children Spelling 101.</p>

<p><em>Match Wits</em> is a memory/concentration game mixed with elements from quiz and word guessing games. The game is for two players who take turns turning over squares to reveal the hidden words. The aim is to pick pairs of matching words which are then removed from the board. As squares are removed a hidden picture puzzle begins to be revealed and the players get chances to guess on its meaning. The player that enters the correct answer will win the round. A game consists of three rounds and the player with the highest score wins. There are six different subject categories to choose from: animals, cities, multiplication, words, sports and famous people. The game also comes with a secretary program that allows the player to edit and add content to the game.</p>

<p>After Dal'X, Bomb'X and Castle'X comes ARCAD' X !</p>
<p>You are Nestor Burnos and your fiancee Maëva disappeared. If you succeed, you will also be granted with 35 kamasutra-themed videos ...</p>
<p>All in all, ARCAD' X is a classic 2D platformer, with its usual enemies, secret zones, and end-level bosses.</p>

<p>Written as a tribute for the 35th anniversary of the IBM PC (and DOS), this is a tiny reworking of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bill+Gates">Bill Gates</a>' only direct personal contribution to video game history - the BASIC demonstration <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/29696/pc-dos-included-game/">Donkey</a> from the very first versions of PC-DOS/MS-DOS. The game runs entirely off the 512-byte boot sector of a standard diskette (although a DOS version is included as well) and can be played on most descendants of the IBM PC, up until today and all the way back to the original 5150.</p>
<p>Just as with <em>Donkey</em>, the player's leisurely drive along a straight stretch of road is interrupted by a pack of stray jackasses. The oddly sturdy beasts will survive any collision (and earn a point from it, too) so it's imperative to switch lanes to avoid them. The reaction time diminishes with each successive donkey; after advancing far enough, it's the driver who scores a point. Unlike the original, the game ends when either side reaches a score of 10.</p>

<p><em>Pyromania</em> is a same-screen multiplayer clone of <a href="/search/?q=Bomberman">Bomberman</a> for up to four players. It features randomly generated levels with six different tilesets, various power-ups, and adjustable monster AI. The game is highly customizable, with the options allowing to set the amount of power-ups of various types, turn off monsters and specify the time limit for each round of play.</p>
<p>It does not strictly have a single-player mode, but still can be played solo against the monsters. In this case, the other player remains passive, making the game much easier to win.</p>

<p><em>Return to Doom</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3997/countdown-to-doom/">Countdown to Doom</a>. The planet of Doomawangara once again plays host to a sci-fi exploration adventure - this time, a rescue mission. As the only adventurer ever known to survive that perilous world (if you've played the first game, that is), it is only fitting that you would be the one receiving a distress signal from a ship that has just crash-landed there. </p>
<p>What's more, aboard the fallen ship is an important ambassador on a diplomatic mission. Sensing the urgency of the matter, you set your controls towards that unforgiving planet; the signal has been traced to somewhere in the vicinity of a dense and forbidding jungle, and you luckily manage to locate a clearing suitable for landing. Once again you set foot on Doom's surface, steeling yourself for the fiendish environment with its innumerable deadly puzzles.</p>

<p>This double-pack from Topologika concludes <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/39740/peter-killworth/">Peter Killworth</a>'s Doom trilogy with <em>Last Days of Doom</em>, another futuristic exploration adventure set on the treacherous world of Doomawangara. This time around the planet Doom appears to be, well, doomed: tectonic activity, eruptions, instabilities throughout the star system, and reports of another mysterious artifact turning up. Despite your previous nightmarish experiences on the planet, you somehow feel obligated to investigate. Hurrying to arrive before the planet's imminent doom, you make planetfall, now accompanied by a team of three: your second in command, an engineer and a navigator - plus the four-legged robotic friend you acquired in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/80501/return-to-doom/">the previous game</a>.</p>
<p>Also included is <em>Hezarin</em>, an older title from the mainframe days reworked and expanded for newer systems. Here the Adventurer's Guild sends you to the world of Hezarin, in response to its peasants' cries of help: the sorcerer Anjith holds the fantastical land and its inhabitants in an iron grip. Your task is to explore the exotic world and try to locate the rumored magical artifact that could vanquish the oppressor (which is, of course, missing in action).</p>

<p>An artillery game inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/22839/ms-dos-5-included-games/">Gorillas</a>, only with warring rats instead of antagonistic apes (and even lower system requirements). The rival rodents are having a bit of a territorial dispute over a warehouse full of savory restaurant supplies, and are determined to solve it by the time-tested means of lobbing fiery death at each other.</p>
<p>Either player may be human or computer-controlled (two computer opponents can challenge each other, too) and the number of rounds can be configured per game. A shot is taken by entering an angle and a velocity, and watching the projectile fly; if one of the vermin is hit, the other scores and another round begins - with a new random arrangement of crates. The usual artillery formula is extended with some additions: adjustable air resistance, an optional suspended crate which absorbs unlucky shots, and the option to hide your typed input values from the other player.</p>

<p>You are the rightful heir to the throne of Hamil - stolen away as a young child, you had grown up unaware of your birthright.  To you, the kingdom of Hamil was known only through myths and rumors: a place of magic and grandeur, steeped in legends of majestic castles and wondrous antiquities; but also fraught with danger, as creatures and powers of the dark side have taken a particular shine to it.  Finally learning the secret of your identity, you decide to ride out to Hamil and stake your claim.</p>
<p>However, there are hidden powers who would like very much to have Hamil for themselves, and they don't think too highly of your endeavor.  As soon as you set out they follow in hot pursuit, and finally force you to take refuge in a small run-down chapel at the edge of the kingdom.  Here the adventure begins, as your first task is to find a way out of your makeshift sanctuary without snuffing it rather quickly.</p>

Microsoft Hawaii: Scenery Enhancement for Microsoft Flight Simulator

<p><em>Microsoft Hawaii</em> is an official scenery enhancement for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1674/microsoft-flight-simulator-v50/">Microsoft Flight Simulator</a>. When this product was released hard disc space was at a premium so there are two installation options, one which installs the entire scenery package and a minimal install which required the CD to be loaded when the player wants to use the scenery.</p>
<p>It adds hills and textures to the landscape together with twenty six airfields. A couple of airfields such as Honolulu International and Midway Naval Airfield were present in Microsoft Flight Simulator however the airfields installed with <em>Microsoft Hawaii</em> have buildings and more runways.</p>
<p>The package also installs ten Flight Simulator Situations which include flying a glider in Maui, a biplane through Wakiki's skyscraper hotels, landing on the Nimitz and viewing the 1983 Kilauea eruption.</p>

<p>A double-pack of games originally written for the Phoenix IBM
System/370 mainframe at Cambridge University, reworked for commercial release on home computers:</p>
<p><em>Avon</em> is an appropriately Shakespearean adventure which beings innocently enough, with a sight-seeing visit to the celebrated playwright's hometown. As the protagonist explores the streets and souvenir shops, certain people, animals and objects begin exhibiting strange behavior; finally, the surroundings become completely unfamiliar, and the inhabitants' English unusually rich and poetic...
the stage is set for an exploration of this strange land, in an attempt to find a way out. The happenings take place over three different calendar dates; the game world is a blend of places and characters from Shakespeare's plays, but as the authors reassure us, "an exhaustive knowledge of the Shakespearean Canon is not necessary".</p>
<p><em>Monsters of Murdac</em> is billed as a bonus game, in which an expatriate known only as George takes a flight from England back to his native land of Murdac. Here he meets a mysterious old lady remembered from his childhood, rumored to be a witch (in any case, she's at least somewhat unconventional). A stop at her strangely-furnished home proves fateful, as the hero finds himself sent on a quest deep into the foreboding forest of Murdac. Only the hag's incoherent mumblings about hostile powers and odd rituals hint at what lies ahead.</p>

<p><em>Microsoft Scenery Pack for Flight Simulator</em> is a compilation of three previously released add-ons for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1674/microsoft-flight-simulator-v50/">Microsoft Flight Simulator v5.1</a>. It consists of* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Microsoft+Caribbean:+Scenery+Enhancement+for+Microsoft+Flight+Simulator%0A">Microsoft's Caribbean Scenery</a></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=+Microsoft+Hawaii:+Scenery+Enhancement+for+Microsoft+Flight+Simulator%0A">Microsoft's Hawaii Scenery</a></p>

<p><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Microsoft+Japan:+Scenery+Enhancement+for+Microsoft+Flight+Simulator%0A">Microsoft's Japan Scenery</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The add-ons all come on the same CD but are installed by running separate DOS batch files. The product also contains details on how the player could configure <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1674/microsoft-flight-simulator-v50/">Microsoft Flight Simulator</a>, and hence these add-ons, to run under Windows 95.</p>

<p><em>MicroWINGS Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) Scenery</em> is an add-on pack for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1674/microsoft-flight-simulator-v50/">Microsoft Flight Simulator</a> that was supplied free to all MicroWINGS members, they only had to pay for shipping and handling.</p>
<p>It covers the entire Dallas-Ft. Worth area as defined by the VFR Terminal Area Chart of the time, giving a claimed area of 6,958 square miles. When installed it creates a new scenery library and provides over sixty runways, some airports have several runways while others have none, and other Texas landmarks.</p>
<p>The main features, as described in the product documentation, are:* Access to current weather information for the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) area</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatic terminal information service (ATIS) and Common Traffic Advisory Fequency (CTAF) frequencies for all airports</li>
<li>It includes Cowboy VOR/DME - a navigation aid that was set up in 1995 and is therefore not included in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1674/microsoft-flight-simulator-v50/">Microsoft Flight Simulator</a></li>
<li>Buildings: In addition to generic buildings that line the freeways the developers have included many notable landmarks, over forty are listed in the documentation</li>
<li>New roads lakes and rivers have been added</li>
<li>City boundaries have been defined</li>
<li>There are also sixteen features described as 'easter eggs'</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Schiratti Commander</em> is an add-on for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1674/microsoft-flight-simulator-v50/">Microsoft Flight Simulator</a>. It includes one airplane, the DC9-30 and airports for the cities of New Delhi and Budapest, however these are incidentals as the main purpose of this product is the utility set it provides. With this product the player can:* view all the installed scenery libraries and starting from a global perspective they can zoom right down to view individual airports.</p>
<ul>
<li>the map view can also be used to show all the VORs, NDBs, and Com/ATISs</li>
<li>also available in the map view are all the navigational aids frequencies and names</li>
<li>It will calculate routes between airports showing the navigation aids, distanced for each leg of the journey and headings. These routes can be saved and edited.</li>
<li>All of the above can be printed</li>
<li>The user can also use <em>Schiratti Commander</em> to edit scenery files to add mountains, buildings, trees, roads etc as well as new navigation aids. There are two ways to do this, one is through the wireframe GUI interface, the other involves programming in the Scenery Maker language</li>
<li>Finally, the package allows up to five pc's to be connected so that one player can take the role of Air Traffic Control and give directions to the others</li>
</ul>
<p>In 1997, the product was updated to 'Schiratti Commander Gold', which was also compatible with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=microsoft-flight-simulator-for-windows-95">MS-Flight Simulator for Windows 95</a>, retaining most features of the earlier version 1.0, except for the multi-PC connection feature which did not work anymore.  </p>
<p>The 'Gold' version also included 100 new objects to use in the design tool.  </p>
<p>A Gold upgrade was freely available as a downsized download (lacking the 100 extra objects, and upgraded New Delhi &amp; Budapest scenery) to registered owners of the v1.0 release, or as an orderable full CD upgrade, including the new design objects and scenery.  </p>

<p>Though it describes itself as a flight simulator, <em>Ace</em> is a game in which the player(s) fly around a 3D landscape firing rockets at enemy craft. </p>
<p>It's keyboard controlled and makes use of regular keys, function keys, and the numeric keypad. 
There are three modes of play, single player, player v player and a two player co-op of pilot and gunner, in the two player games players share a keyboard and the game is played on a vertically split screen.</p>

<p><em>P-47 Freedom Fighter</em> is a side scrolling, single-player, keyboard controlled shooter where the player flies the P-47 against waves of planes and ground based installations. It is a freeware game inspired by the arcade game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/16572/p47-thunderbolt/">P47 Thunderbolt</a>.</p>

<p><em>Rocket Fighter</em> is a single player keyboard controlled game. It is similar in style to an <em>Asteroids</em> clone but instead of space rocks the player has to contend with enemy space ships which always travel in vertical or horizontal lines.</p>
<p>The objective is to fly around the game level, destroying all the enemy ships and then finding the worm hole that will take you to the next level, there are five levels in all and the galaxy won't be safe until they are all cleared</p>

<p><em>Wings of Thunder</em> is a single player game which was designed using <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/7845/domark-software-ltd/">Domark</a>'s <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19208/flight-sim-toolkit/">Flight Sim Toolkit</a>. It was released as a complete and free game, but the author did ask for a donation if the player enjoyed the game.</p>
<p>In the future, the world is at peace. Weapon stockpiles are a thing of the past. Scientists have collaborated on creating artificial humanoid life, which they called "mandroids". To see how clever and resourceful these mandroids are, fifty are dumped in a secret location and left to their own devices for five years. When the time is up, humanity is alarmed to find that there are no longer fifty mandroids, but thousands upon thousands of them, and that they are on the move with the various weapons they have developed!  </p>
<p>Agents infiltrate the mandroid homeland and plant homing devices in key locations. The objective of the game is to fly into mandroid territory, tune into the frequencies of these beacons, and destroy everything. </p>
<p>There are 22 missions in all, one for each homing beacon. The game is controlled with a combination of keyboard commands and a joystick</p>

<p><em>Apollo Collection 4: Business Jets</em> is a set of sixteen aircrafts in an add-on package, requiring the 3rd-party application BAO FlightShop, to use with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1674/microsoft-flight-simulator-v50/">Microsoft Flight Simulator v5.x</a>.  </p>
<p>The included aircrafts are:* Beechcraft 1900C</p>
<ul>
<li>Beechcraft Duchess 76</li>
<li>Canadair Challenger 604</li>
<li>Cessna 152</li>

<li>Piper PA-31-310 Navajo</li>
<li>Piper PA-44-180 Seminole</li>
<li>Piper PA-46-350P Malibu Mirage</li>
</ul>
<p>There is also an (optional) updated IFR panel for the Beechcraft King Air included in the add-on. The Beechcraft 1900C found in this add-on was developed from the King Ar, and it has almost the same cockpit, so it would fit well.   </p>
<p>The documentation suggests to use this cockpit with all BAO 2-4 turbine engine aircraft, instead of the generic one. Cockpit installation is done by running a batch file, King.bat.</p>

<p>Though the jewel case inlay says the game is suitable for Germany, England and France the instructions and menu are all written in German.</p>

<p><em>VR Slingshot</em> is a game that was designed for use with Stereo 3D LCD Shutter Glasses but which can be played in a normal DOS window. It claims to be *"... the first game to combine:   </p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Real-time computational fluid dynamics airflow simulation,  </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Real-time physics-based interaction,  </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Advanced flying and driving simulation,  </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Stereoscopic 3D graphics, 3D sound"*</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>There are two games available Energy Duel and Cyberball and in both games the player flies a spaceship, a vipercraft. In Energy Duel the player attempts to shoot the their opponent's vipercraft. Cyberball is played on a football like arena and the object is to capture a ball and fly it through your goal to score points.  </p>
<p>Games can be played against the computer or against another player over either a modem or a direct link. </p>
<p>The game has four levels of difficulty and four practice levels. It was released as shareware which just had the Novice level of Energy Duel, Cyberball was present but in demo mode only. <em>VR-Slingshot</em> has many keyboard controls but the craft is flown via the joystick.</p>

<p><em>Bust-A-Move</em> is an unofficial conversion of the classic puzzle game. Based on the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5518/bust-a-move/">SNES version</a>, it copies many of its modes and levels, but is also missing some elements.</p>
<p>The basic gameplay is the same as in other versions: the player controls a cannon at the bottom of the screen that shoots bubbles of random colors. The goal is to fire the bubbles in such a way that they connect to others of the same color. Once three or more of the same color touch, they are removed. The ceiling of the play area continually descends. The game is lost if any bubbles reach the bottom and won once all bubbles are cleared.</p>
<p>The single player puzzle mode consists of 90 puzzles. Many of the levels are direct adaptations from the SNES, but without any of the special bubbles like explosive or lightning bubbles. There also is no bonus for quick level completion or making many bubbles fall at once. A password feature allows continuation from the last level played.</p>
<p>There is also a versus mode that can be played either against the AI (with six difficulty settings) or against a second player. The goal here is to either clear the field of bubbles first or make the other player fail. Successfully clearing bubbles sends extra bubbles over to the other player.</p>
<p>Finally, there is the challenge mode. In this endless mode, instead of the ceiling moving towards the bottom, more bubbles are constantly refilled from the top. There is no way to win: it is played for a high score.</p>

<p><em>SFS-PC 2.0</em> is an early version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19199/sfs-pc-30-the-soaring-simulator/">SFS PC 3.0: The Soaring Simulator</a>, unlike the later game this release and its documentation are entirely in German.</p>
<p>SFS is a gliding simulator which was originally developed for the Commodore Amiga and later redeveloped for the pc. The focus on this simulator is to have a game with realistic physics for aircraft, thermals, weather etc.</p>
<p>The shareware release has just one aircraft, the KA-8, it also has just one area in which to fly and does not allow aircraft towing  </p>
<p>In the full registered version of this simulation there are three aircraft, the Schleicher Ka-8, the Rolladen-Schneider LS 1f (Standard Class) and the Akaflieg Braunschweig SB-10 Schirokko which was built by German students and, unlike the other two was never put into production. Flights can start with either a winch launch or by being towed behind an aircraft which the player can also steer.<br>
The player who buys the full version also receives a full illustrated manual, an additional area to fly in, no nag screen and gets future updates at a preferential rate.</p>

<p><em>Fly8</em> is a single player, wire frame flight simulator that, in the author's words "puts more emphasis on the dynamics than on the cosmetics". It written in 'C' and is a reworked and updated version of an earlier program from 1974 that was also called <em>Fly8</em>, that ran on a PDP-15.</p>
<p>Though the player can view the game from different points of view the screen always shows forward looking view with a HUD display in the centre of the screen. It was intended to be used with a joystick but can be flown with the mouse if there's no joystick, or the keyboard if there's nothing else. All other controls for weapons, landing gear, etc. are managed by single stroke keyboard controls.</p>
<p>The object of the game is to shoot down enemy planes while avoiding taking any damage. Successfully landing at an airstrip will replenish weapons used and repair the damage.</p>

<p><em>Paranoia!</em> is a real-time strategy game very similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/241/dune-ii-the-building-of-a-dynasty/">Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty</a>. The player's troops collect "hopsinky", which are the crops that are processed in a distillery and turned into money. With money the player can construct buildings and units to conquer enemy. The objective of the game is to destroy all enemy units and buildings. There are some subtle differences between this game and <em>Dune II</em> such as the renewal of hopsinky or the usage of mines to defend the base. The game's story is set in 2673 in Beretta solar system on the planet Paranoia.</p>

<p><em>Flight Planner for Microsoft Flight Simulator</em> is a program that runs in either DOS or Windows and, paradoxically, does not require Microsoft's Flight Simulator at all! The purpose of this product is, as the name suggests, to produce set of navigational waypoints that will take the player from one airport to another. It also contains some utilities that assist the player in compensating for weather, wind etc.</p>
<p>The product comes in a white box wrapped in a card sleeve, it contains the flight planner on both 3.5" and 5.25" floppy discs. each disc has separate DOS installation processes for the DOS and Windows platforms, the Windows implementation of the product has more functionality than the DOS implementation.</p>
<p>The DOS installation includes databases for the following <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/32/sublogic/">subLOGIC</a>'s scenery discs; <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23985/scenery-disk-1/">Scenery Disk 1</a>;

<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/24007/japan-scenery-disk/">Japan Scenery</a>; and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=034161003877">Scenery Disk "Western European Tour"</a>. Each database has a full set of navigation points and airports for the scenery area and the Flight Planner has tools which allow the user to both create their own databases from scratch as well as using scenery data created with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8357/microsoft-flight-simulator-aircraft-scenery-designer/">Microsoft's Aircraft &amp; Scenery Designer</a>. <br>
Planning flights within a scenery area is relatively straightforward. Where a flight travels across one or more scenery areas the player must create a new database file by merging the relevant databases in DOS. They then use one of the Flight Planner's database utilities to create a database index after which the new file can be used in planning an extended flight.</p>
<p>The DOS software has a menu with the following options;* File: Here the user creates flight plans simply by entering the departure and destination airports, the software then searches the current default database and plots a course.</p>
<ul>
<li>Edit: where the current flight plan can be edited. The departure, destination, wind settings can be changed and navigation points can be added or deleted</li>
<li>Reports: This is where the flight plan is printed. It can also be shown on-screen in summary form and in map form</li>
<li>Utilities: These are aids for use with <em>Microsoft Flight Simulator</em>, there's a Wind Correction function which is used to compensate for drift, and two Descent functions which calculates the descent distance and rate of descent a pilot must achieve if they are to land safely</li>
<li>Database: This has functions to show the airports and navigation aids in the current database as a list or on a map, and others to create new databases, add new nav points into a database and to reconstruct the index for any database that has just been created or which has been edited.</li>
<li>Options: Here the user sets the default pilot name, type of plane and the basic plane characteristics such as rate of climb etc. There are also options to change the default database and to configure the printer</li>
<li>Tips: Advice on instrumentation, takeoff, landing, navigation and ILS approach to an airport etc</li>
<li>Help: Information on using the product, how to use the product with flight simulators, set up printers etc</li>
</ul>
<p>The Windows implementation does, of course, have a GUI mouse controlled interface. It has the same functionality as the DOS implementation together with the following additional functionality;* Reports: There are additional reports which can be viewed on screen, printed or saved as bitmap images</p>
<ul>
<li>Utilities: Has additional functions for calculating Turn Performance, Landing Rollout, and Temperature &amp; altitude effects</li>
<li>Aircraft Library: The DOS implementation had the characteristics of a Cessna saved and that was it, if the player wanted to fly a different plane they had to enter the plane's characteristics manually. In the Windows implementation there's an aircraft library with half a dozen planes including Concorde, a Boeing 747 and the trusty Cessna together with the option to add and save details of new planes</li>
<li>Tips &amp; Help files are now in Windows format and are, apart from being more extensive, they are easier to use and navigate</li>
<li>Flight plans can be saved in 'Flyin Format' as was used on Compuserve's FSFORUM</li>
</ul>

On-line help is available, including the tutor who could be asked for a suggestion, as well as statistical tracking of every play with percentages of winning and losing hands.</p>

<p><em>A Fable</em> is a short work of interactive fiction that involves wandering through a series of vignettes from a person's life, like a maze of memories. The author noted in 1995 that the game was not complete, only "a sketch" created to help test an interactive fiction authoring system, not intended for public release.</p>

<p><em>Pune</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Light+Cycle+games">light cycle</a>/<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3173/snake-variants/">snake</a>-type game for multiple human players, directly based on the earlier Amiga game <a href="/search/?q=Achtung,+die+Kurve!">Dune 3</a> (AKA <em>Achtung, die Kurve</em>). Each player controls one of the worms that continuously slither across the playfield, and can smoothly guide it in arbitrary directions by steering it left and right. Running into the walls or into other worms means death, so your aim is to survive as long as you can, by tricking the other players into suffering that fate instead.</p>
<p>The action is accompanied by digitized cheers, curses and death screams. Fatalities may be avoided by passing through the occasional gaps that appear in the worms' bodies; as in the original game, you earn a point when any other player snuffs it - no points are awarded for threading the holes (unlike other clones, such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/72331/viper/">Viper</a>), and the total score required for victory depends on the number of players.</p>

<p>This edutainment title takes on the familiar interactive fiction/adventure format, with a text parser-driven interface similar to other <a href="/search/?q=Topologika">Topologika</a> releases, and adds a twist in the form of mathematical/logic puzzles used to drive the story. Aimed at the ages of 10 and above, the game takes its basic plot from the folk tale of <em>Jack and the Beanstalk</em>. You take on the role of Jack (if a boy) or Jackie (if a girl), sent to the market with explicit orders from Mum to buy a pig.</p>
<p>If you play your cards right, you can obtain a magic bean, plant it, and ascend the resulting beanstalk for yet more adventures and conundrums. The numerous brain-teasers include numerical puzzles, exercises in spatial orientation, geometric pattern recognition and map navigation; several are randomized and require a fresh solution each time you play. There are points to be earned and treasures to find - hopefully worth somewhat more than the porker you were sent out to get.</p>

<p><em>Snakes</em> is a Tandy 1000 BASIC game firmly in the 'arena collector' tradition: you control a continuously-moving critter roaming a fenced-off area, whose task is to pick up as many collectibles as possible without dying in the process. To survive, it is enough to avoid the edges of the playfield and the spiky, sharp-looking protrusions strewn throughout it. The title may lead one to expect a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/3173/snake-variants/">Snake-type game</a> where the creature's body grows as it feeds; this is not so -- your on-screen incarnation always occupies a single grid position. Only one level is included, and you're granted five lives to make the most of it.</p>

<p>This blackjack game may either be played against the computer, against another human rival, or (in a three-player game) against both of them simultaneously.  In contrast to most implementations (which reproduce the concept of playing in a casino), here the computer doesn't take on the dealer's role -- rather, it takes its own chances at the table and places bets out of its own wad of cash.  Each contender starts out with $100.  The player with the best hand wins the round, and the bout continues until only one is left standing.  While a hand is played, it's possible to hit, stand or even raise the stakes(!); another quirk is the somewhat peculiar deck of cards: aces are always high (11 points), but there are two unorthodox additions in the form of '1' and '0' cards.</p>

<p>In this variation on the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/37805/air-attack/">well-known theme</a>, the player sets off to the skies to inflict damage on the unsuspecting cities below. The bomber zig-zags across the heavens, losing altitude with every turnaround, and must judiciously drop bombs onto the awaiting architecture; the goal is to wipe out enough skyline to survive the descent.</p>
<p>In familiar fashion, only one bomb can be dropped at a time. However, this version shows more mercy than most towards its urban targets: it isn't necessary to raze the whole town to the ground -- the bomber only has to reach about a third of the way down the screen, and then the blitzkrieg continues over the next city. On the other hand, there are no extra lives, so the first brush with a building will end the game instantly.</p>

<p>Bringing the art of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9001/breakout/">Breakout</a>-cloning to Tandy 1000 BASIC, <em>Breakoff</em> provides yet another account of the age-old enmity between orb and masonry. A wall of bricks is placed across the top of the screen, opposite the laterally-moving paddle below, as the player deflects the bouncing ball and attempts to knock down the barrier one block at a time.</p>
<p>Point values depend on the smashed brick's position; those higher up award larger bonuses. There are three balls at your disposal, and if you lose them all it's game over. Unlike more complete variants, the wall does not renew itself after all the bricks are destroyed, so the player is left with a fixed maximum score (and not much else to do).</p>

<p>This strategy game is played on a 8x8 board, which starts out populated with a specific pattern of pieces.  There is always one human player against the computer: you control the blue pieces, based around the center of the board; the computer player ("Max") commands the red ones, arranged along the corners.  Each side makes one move per turn (moving a single piece to any adjoining square), and the objective is to eliminate the opponent's pieces.</p>
<p>To do this, pieces may be captured by jumping over them (like checkers, but in any direction); or "infected" when the other side places its own piece in a neighboring square, which causes the victim's pieces to change their color to that of the infecting piece.  However, each side does this differently - your blue pieces infect the four squares along the vertical/horizontal edges, while Max's red pieces infect diagonally along the four corners.  Either method awards points, although the score does not determine the winner.</p>

<p>Your main aspiration here is to get as rich as you can by placing your bets at the dog racing venue.  You start out with $1000 on hand, plus half that sum deposited in the bank.  Three grayhounds take part in each race, and the bet is on the winner only (with a fixed return of 150%).  The game keeps track of your stats, which are shown on screen while the dogs engage in their mad rush to their finish line.  As long as you have cash on hand, you can keep on playing - you can deposit and withdraw at the bank, or take out a loan (which must be returned after four races... with interest).</p>

<p>True to form, this <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Frogger">Frogger</a> derivative stars a green little amphibian whose only ambition is to make it safely to the other side of the screen. You, the player, must guide it carefully across a multi-lane city street, hopefully without getting squished in the bustling traffic. Then it's on to the river, where our toadie must employ logs and floating pads to keep from sinking. Once four croakers are safely nestled in their alcoves along the top edge, a new and harder round begins.</p>
<p><em>Toad Road</em> is controlled and played somewhat differently from the classic formula: instead of jumping from one grid position to the next, the toad takes small steps, and cannot backtrack at all - it can only go forward or sideways. Somehow, objects in the river don't impart any motion to their rider; as such it is necessary to keep walking sideways just to stay on top. Other distinctive behaviors include the number of logs and their movement patterns, the snakes that patrol previously-safe areas as the game progresses, and floating pads that only become visible from the riverbank itself (which makes it harder to plan moves in advance).</p>

<p><em>World Golf 2</em> lets you test your skills on the green in a standard 18-hole round of golf. Shots are taken from a first-person view of the course, in the general direction of the current hole and its flagstick; you pack four clubs in your bag (driver, 8 iron, 4 iron, and putter) to give the ball the desired loft and distance. Each shot is further influenced by the current wind direction and speed, by the force of your stroke - determined by the power bar - and by a margin of error which will skew the shot (depending on the position of the left-side slider as you hit the button).</p>
<p>The three difficulty settings decide just how much these factors affect your strokes. You can also pick a time of day for each game, although this only affects the visuals. Like other games from the same author, this one is written for the Tandy 1000 series and requires the respective BASIC interpreter.</p>

<p><em>Fluf!</em> is a maze-based action game which vaguely follows the same general idea as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a>, with a few important differences. Most obviously, the maze layouts and the marauding monsters are different from level to level, and instead of gobbling up all the dots the goal is to flip the blue squares over to red (by simply walking over them). These factors notwithstanding, the baddies still roam the passages and would happily make a meal of our white fluffy protagonist should they meet. Echoing its inspiration, the game throws the occasional fruit bonus at the player, but instead of helpful power-pills or side tunnels there are deadly traps: the "black hole" tile will end the game immediately if encountered, no matter how many lives are left. One breed of nasties will occasionally turn red tiles back into blue, requiring more mileage to flip them again.</p>
<p>The five highest scores are recorded, but only for the current session. The game is written in Tandy 1000 BASIC and will not play properly on other machines.</p>

<p>Perhaps notable for a valiant effort at real-time, wireframe 3-D graphics in (Tandy 1000) BASIC, <em>Quasar</em> is a first-person space shooter taking place across multiple quadrants of an unnamed galactic sector. Your fighter is equipped with limited energy stores, and a double laser (which depletes said energy). You start off in a planetary sector populated by waves of hostiles, which come in two chief variants: yellow and red; both take pleasure in ramming you, with bad results for your continuing existence.</p>
<p>Destroying the red craft increases your energy however, while picking off the yellows engages your warp drive. In this mode, zapping a red will launch you into a stargate: this abstract geometric zone will lead you to another quadrant, depending on your warp factor - it may again contain a planet, or an empty void patrolled by enemy saucers. It may also be occupied by a black hole (where your discomfort will be short-lived, but so will your game).</p>

<p><em>Expo</em> may be thought of as an exploration-based puzzle game: each level strands the player somewhere within a scrolling overhead map, and the goal is to find a way out of the maze-like surroundings. This is done by finding and collecting the required golden keys (a different number on each level) and then reaching the exit. Trouble is, you have a limited number of moves (or 'rounds') to carry out your escape: take too many turns, and you're out. You'll also have to watch your life meter, which denotes your bodily resistance towards various dangers lurking in the wild.</p>
<p>The exotic terrain contains many such perils, like water and muck tiles that drain away energy when passed through. Other, more specific locations can restore your strength somewhat; you may find that some award you points (or take them away). Sometimes a teleporter will stand between you and the exit, but there's an entrance fee - which must also be covered by the points you earn. In short, blazing a trail through the levels will require careful planning and strategizing.</p>

<p>Unlike IBM's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/29696/pc-dos-included-game/">PC-DOS</a>, most OEM-branded MS-DOS versions did not include BASIC sample programs (entertaining or otherwise). An early exception was Compaq-DOS - the edition licensed for Compaq's Portable/Plus/DeskPro series of PC compatibles. This one sported its own demo suite, including <em>Time to Play</em>, a collection of games (plus the non-game <em>Biorhythms</em> program). By version 3.31 this was phased out, but the first few releases each offered a different lineup:</p>
<ul>
<li>v1.x: <em>Cat and Mouse, Geography Challenge, Biorhythms</em></li>
<li>v2.x: <em>Compaq Portable, Geography Challenge, Biorhythms</em></li>
<li>v3.x: <em>Compaq Portable, USA Geography Challenge, European Geography Challenge, Biorhythms</em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Cat and Mouse:</strong> as the titular feline, your job in this action game is to catch up with the little mice that run around the playfield, and capture them with a keypress before they can get to the edge of the screen (you see, the edge is made of cheese). The mice make their attempts one at a time, and after 10 of them you're graded for your efforts.</p>
<p><strong>Compaq Portable:</strong> v2.x replaces the rodents with a more motivational prize – actual Compaq machines! The PCs appear randomly in the corners of an ever-changing maze, and you (as a Compaq enthusiast, of course) must navigate the shifting walls and pick up as many as you can in 60 seconds.</p>
<p><strong>Geography Challenge:</strong> this tests your savvy with maps, by flashing the location of a US state capital and asking you to name both the state (or its abbreviation) and the capital; at the end of the quiz it lets you know how well you've done. For v3.x this US-centric version was retitled <em>USA Geography Challenge</em>, and joined by a <em>European</em> counterpart, which does the same with countries across the pond.</p>

<p><em>Casino</em> is a destructive computer virus, which is somewhat more sporting than its typical data-destroying brethren. If the infected file is run on January 15, April 15 or August 15, the virus displays a message where it informs the user that it has just erased the hard disk's FAT table, but promises to restore a backup copy from RAM if the user can win a game of Jackpot. </p>
<p>The unwilling "player" has five chances to pull the lever of a virtual ASCII-art slot machine. Three different symbols (a pound sign, a cent sign, a question mark) can appear in the three slots. Getting three pound signs makes the virus restore the FAT table, before warning the user to shut off the computer and don't run it again until the next day. If all five credits are spent without success, the virus shuts down with a gleeful, obscene message, taking the user's FAT with itself. Getting three question marks is supposedly meant to display the author's phone number, but in fact only results in the virus angrily telling the user off and deleting the FAT.</p>

<p><em>Quantoids of Nebulus IV</em> is a space shooter that sends you on the hunt for loathsome, space-faring business school graduates. The repellent MBAs have ruined the Earth's economies with their myopic quantitative concepts, and now they're rampaging through the galaxy spreading the plague to other planets! To save known space from the destructive practices of these foul Quantoids, you set off into the void with your twin cannons to pursue and exterminate.</p>
<p>Representing the antithesis of business-school logic, your shipboard computer is (of course) guided by intuition and can be commanded to automatically seek out enemy vessels. As you close in for the kill, you can adjust your cruising speed to better home in on the hostile ships. These are crewed by graduates from different schools, in order of prestige (or obnoxiousness), so that your cash prizes keep growing... but each missed shot deducts 2% off your profits (represented by a Net Present Value).</p>
<p>All of this is true for the shareware release; the game assures us that tailor-made versions can be ordered, with the text altered as you see fit, so that other groups can become the collective targets of your ire.</p>

<p><em>FLIP-ELLO</em> is an early IBM PC conversion of <em>Othello/Reversi</em>, and as such it faithfully keeps to the established rules of the classic board game: each player chooses a color - black or white, represented here by "X"s and "O"s respectively. Initially two chips of each color are placed at the center of the 8x8 grid, then the players take turns placing additional chips, attempting to capture the opponent's chips and flipping them over to the player's color: this is done by enclosing a sequence (vertical, horizontal or diagonal) between two chips of one’s own color.</p>
<p>When no more moves can be made, whoever has more chips on the board gets the game. In this adaptation, it is possible to ask for hints (whether any moves remain, or which of the possible moves is best); players may also switch sides in mid-game, as a potential extra challenge to whoever's currently in the lead. If any side runs out of pieces, one may be "borrowed" from the opponent. The game is playable against another human or against the computer, which tends to accompany its moves with gleeful taunts and jeers.</p>

<p>23rd-century Earth is a good place to be: after an atypically friendly first contact with an alien species, the planet's ills have been cured and peace reigns supreme.  But some will always resist change, let alone utopian ideas.  One such organization was the innocently-named American Neutral Investigators, and its leader Mapier was exiled off-planet for disturbing the peace.  This decision did not prove far-sighted however; Mapier worked diligently, pirating and destroying, harvesting debris, alien technology and raw materials, and gradually built up a huge armed space fortress from which the ANI continue to terrorize known space.</p>
<p>This is where the player comes in, piloting an infiltrator ship into the bowels of the ANI's Mapierian Anti-Complex (ANIMAC) to find and destroy the central command.  The meandering tunnels burrowing through the planet-sized base consist of hundreds of different rooms, littered with automated defenses, mines and hostile drones, while the Infiltrator only packs a single forward-firing photon launcher.  Bridges and invisible warps complicate matters further, as does the security system which makes backtracking a deadly risk.</p>

<p>This one-on-one fighting game pits ten contestants against one another in classic tournament style, all vying for the truly lofty title of 'Universe Hero'.  This grandiosity is not without explanation: it’s the end of the 21st century, and the galaxy is just settling down after a long series of bloody interstellar wars.  The powers-that-be attempt to secure peace by finding another outlet for all that pent-up bloodthirst and putting those violent impulses to better use.  As a formal, ritual replacement for war, an annual fighting tournament is announced - allowing the most capable warriors from every known planet to challenge one another for the ultimate honor.</p>
<p>Despite the futuristic setting and cosmic scale, the combatants are all generally humanoid, although their fighting styles and move repertoires are appropriately varied; some are more exotic in form, while others appear decidedly human.  In keeping with genre conventions, the fighters all have their more mundane chops as well as special moves (using ranged attacks, melee weapons, and other less conventional means), all executed using directional controls plus kick and punch buttons.  Besides the single-player tournament mode, which culminates in the customary boss battles, two players can battle each other - either on the same machine or via modem.</p>

<p><em>Quad</em> is a variation on <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/51037/3-d-tic-tac-toe/">Qubic/3-D Tic-Tac-Toe</a>, spicing up ordinary noughts-and-crosses with an extra dimension. Two players take turns occupying squares with their chosen symbols, and each side attempts to achieve four in a row - in any dimension of the 4x4x4 grid. Either player may be human or computer-controlled (it's possible to let two machine opponents match wits against each other); the computer's skill level is freely adjustable, even in mid-game.</p>
<p>Moves are executed by entering a three-digit number representing the chosen square's coordinates (level, row and column). The basic game is augmented by additional features, like the ability to review previous moves, rotate the perspective along any axis, modify the order of play, or switch places with the opponent.</p>

<p><em>Virus Rage</em> belongs to a somewhat uncommon class of games - a medically-themed action shooter: the player is given control of a tiny hypodermic syringe, maneuvering within the confines of a microscopic grid of cells. The problem: your poor patient is suffering from a viral infection, and it's quickly mutating to boot. The solution: kill off the contaminating agents by destroying the active nuclei on each level.</p>
<p>These nuclei are surrounded by live viral cells that quickly multiply, and your syringe can fire off pellets that convert them into dead ones; you snuff out an active nucleus by extinguishing all the live cells around it. There's a catch however: if you accidentally shoot the nucleus itself directly, you'll kill the patient... complete with a grisly face-melting animation. The viruses fight back with mutated strains, which tramp around reviving viral cells (and killing the player on contact); there are also dormant nuclei which the enemies can awaken to an active state. The nuclei may also launch noxious spores that seek out our meddlesome medic with lethal intent.</p>
<p>Once the disease is eliminated, you go off to disinfect a new locale. The game keeps track of the 15 highest scores, and features a Practice mode for less-experienced practitioners.</p>

<p><em>PLEBS</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Blitz">Blitz</a>/<a href="/search/?q=Air+Attack">Air Attack</a>-style demolition game with a twist. As per the convention, a bomber zips back and forth over a group of structures, losing altitude with each pass across the screen. The player's task is to time the dropping of armaments, to ensure the buildings' speedy destruction before the bomber descends low enough to crash into them. In this particular case however, the condemned buildings are robot factories, and they're still churning out robots... more precisely, Publically Licensed Electronic Burden Shifters (PLEBS).</p>
<p>These mechanical nuisances keep moving until they encounter an obstacle, and can climb on each other to create piles that slowly become a growing danger to air traffic. The PLEBS stream forth from the factories until the robot generators are destroyed. To deal with PLEBS and buildings alike, the player is given two types of weapons: squashers (an unlimited supply), and Super-Squashers (one or more, depending on the mission) for more extensive damage. Once a factory is squashed flat the action moves on to the next one, and the player is given a password for the new level.</p>

<p><em>Joe</em> is a puzzle platformer starring Joe, a jolly green blob stranded in a series of deviously-designed mazes. The only way out of this mess is by collecting enough keys to get through the doors barring the way to the exit. This would be simple, but Joe's movements and jumps are strictly confined to a grid: any misplaced step or hop can undo your progress, or (often enough) drop you to your death - the level design incorporates jumping puzzles requiring memorization and precision. Elements are introduced gradually as you go: deadly mines and water; switches, which move bricks around and operate lifts; slippery ice; teleporters; poison mushrooms that curb your jumping skills, until you can find a cure; and mine carts that can be pushed around.</p>
<p>On some levels Joe is joined by his yellower twin Jasper, and the player can switch control between the two at will. On occasion, Jasper may appear all by himself. There's also a less-likable acquaintance, the purple blobbie Igor, who enjoys standing around and insta-zapping anyone else who enters his line-of-sight.</p>
<p>When you quit the game you get a password that will return you to the last level played; there's also a level editor which lets you add to the repertoire of diabolical dungeons.</p>

<p>In <em>Engineering Jones and the Time Thieves of DSPea</em> the Time Thieves, plunderers of time-changing technology throughout history, have hit the city of DSPea and stolen their cutting edge image processing technology. Engineering Jones, Senior Time Warden of the sector, along with his robot buddy CirQuet, is charged with setting history back on track and stopping the Time Thieves.</p>
<p><em>Engineering Jones</em> is a first-person maze game meant to advertise Harris Semiconductor products. There are also puzzles or mini-games with a different type of gameplay. People who managed to beat the game could participate in a contest to win a Sony Camcorder.</p>

<p><em>Batfish</em> is a World War II diesel submarine simulator. The player has just been promoted to submarine captain and is ordered to take command of a Fleet Class Submarine without delay. This also means without training. Small tasks such as reloading torpedoes and charge batteries when surfaced will be handled automatically by the crew. The game takes place in the Mid Atlantic and the player is free to roam around the sea at will. </p>
<p>The game is broken down into scenarios. Each scenario consists of one or more ships that appear in the patrol sector. The ship or ships will try to speed away from the player. A ship may leave the patrol sector in one of two ways: it gets so far away from the player so that it isn't in radar or sonar range or the ship is sunk. Once there are no more ships in the patrol sector the next scenario is loaded. This will continue until there are no more scenarios to load or the player's submarine has been sunk.</p>
<p>The aim of the game is to sink as much tonnage as possible with the least amount of torpedoes as possible. Enemy warships will do their best to try to sink the players submarine.</p>
<p>The game comes with a scenario builder.</p>

<p><em>Aldo's Assault</em> is the third game in the <em>Aldo</em> series of platform games. This title leads through ten more boards of jumping and running. Aldo has to reach the treasure chest on each stage in order to proceed to the next one, while avoiding the falling and tumbling barrels which drop out of the chutes. Getting hit by a barrel means instant loss of one life, as does running out of time. The clock can be extended by collecting bonus items found on the stages, and any remaining time is added to the score at the end of each stage. Levels are cycled through repeatedly with ever-tighter time limits, until the player runs out of lives.</p>

Once we leave, there is a main menu of options: we can choose where to go to next from a list of seven destinations, change the speed that Captain Spleen's ship is travelling at, see a listing of current cargo, communicate with any nearby ships, activate weapons systems, and save/load the game.</p>

<p><em>Captain Spleen 2</em> is a comedy sci-fi graphic adventure. Unlike its <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/81553/captain-spleen/">predecessor</a>, the sequel exclusively uses point-and-click mouse controls instead of the keyboard, and its digitized sound effects require a Sound Blaster-compatible sound card.</p>
<p>The central plot is that <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/924807/colin-gagnon/">Colin Gagnon</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/265072/robert-randall/">Robert Randall</a>, real-world creators of the game, have been kidnapped by a shadowy organization known as M.S.D.O.S. and it is up to Captain Spleen to save them.

<p><em>Residence 44 Quest</em> is a graphic adventure game created by two students at the Technical University Delft in the Netherlands, who based the setting of the game on their own experiences at the university.

<p>The main character is directly controlled using the cursor keys to walk in the main four directions, and the player can also type in commands. You will often need to move close enough to an object before you can successfully interact with it.</p>
<p>The game was first created in Dutch and then translated to English, but the English version is also edited down with some response text removed instead of translated.</p>

<p><em>Hank's Quest</em> is a graphic adventure about a teenage loner named Hank, who decides to throw a party. But organizing it is not going to be easy.

All input is done through text commands.</p>

<p><em>SPOC</em> (Selective Pruning Optimization Chess) lets you challenge your computer to the 'game of kings'. The game screen displays a top-down graphical representation of the board, with dual clocks to time each move; the player gets the choice of white or black, and can optionally output moves to the printer. Standard rules apply, including castling and queening. There are nine skill levels for the computer opponent, which decide how much time it can take per move (level 6 has special meaning as a 'tournament' level: the clocks count down two hours for each player to make a 40-move sequence).</p>
<p>Version 2.0 improves the graphics and UI somewhat, adds <em>en passant</em> captures, counts moves on-screen, and introduces new features ("undo" functionality, forcing immediate CPU moves, playback of recorded matches) - plus the option to play a human opponent.</p>

<p>Before founding PKWare and inventing the ZIP compression standard, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/798357/phil-katz/">Phil Katz</a> produced at least one game as a hobbyist by-product of his programming career: a PC adaptation of the popular game show <em>Wheel of Fortune</em> -- albeit an unlicensed one written in BASIC. Like its televised counterpart, this is a game based on solving word puzzles and getting rich in the process.</p>
<p>One to five contestants may participate, and each in turn takes a stab at the blanked-out phrase. Spinning the wheel determines a dollar amount and lets the player guess a consonant (which is then removed from the pool); in less-lucky occasions the wheel may land on "lose turn" or "bankrupt", forcing you to forfeit your shot or your cash respectively. Alternatively, a vowel may be bought for a flat rate of $250, or you may attempt to guess the complete phrase and keep your accumulated cash (if successful). After three rounds, the richest player gets the game.</p>

<p>In this early medieval real-time strategy war-game, two feuding princes on a small island have it out for each other. The king is dead and his successor must be determined through elimination, 'The Code of Steel'.</p>
<p>At the start of the game you decide upon the size of your army and the island on which the conflict takes place and the objective is to kill the other prince before his army gets yours.
Once the setup is over and done with, the armies are put down on the island and the conflict begins. The units can be commandeered at three different levels of granularity, from the prince's banner down to the company, showing each individual soldier. Commands are issued by selecting the company or commander and issuing one of a set number of options to the unit. Once the armies meet they will battle it out until one of the princes is killed, terrain and conditions will affect the outcome of any conflict.</p>
<p>Two player games can be played via a null modem cable on two different computers.</p>

<p><em>Legend of Falconia</em> is a fantasy adventure game for the Amiga and MS-DOS, in German and English. The interface is a hybrid of both text adventures and graphic adventures: you can type in commands and see a text description of where you are and what you're doing, but there is also mouse control with a LucasArts-style action bar, and graphics showing your location.</p>
<p>The game begins at an old, run-down house, isolated on the edge of a forest, on modern-day Earth. You take on the role of an estate agent working for a firm that plans to buy up the house from its current owners, then knock it down and build a supermarket on the land. The firm already sent out one agent for this deal, but they disappeared without a trace.

<p><em>Forteresse</em> is a graphical adventure game by a prolific French company Loriciels. It boasts digitized photos as location graphics, as well some digitized speech. </p>
<p>The interface is icon driven with the actions like "go", "pick up" and "use" combined on the panel on top of the screen, which was made similar to <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/star-trap"><em>Star Trap</em></a> by the same company. There's no text prompt and no parser, the game text with the occasional choices is displayed on top of the picture.</p>
<p>The game is set in medieval times, in the year 666, where Lord Angkor's daughter, Gwendolyne was kidnapped and imprisoned in a castle and locked in a suit of heavy armor, which is shown on the screen all the time.

But only one key can be carried at a time. <em>Forteresse</em> also features several labyrinths as game puzzles.</p>

<p><em>Remember Tomorrow</em> is 4X space strategy similar to <a href="/search/?q=Master+of+Orion">Master of Orion</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/257/ascendancy/">Ascendancy</a>. Unlike those two it is heavily focused on space ship design, where you can choose what engines, shields, scanners and many types of weapons to install into one of the available hulls. Besides those, more specialized modules can be used like a colonization module or a fighter bay for bigger ships. The spacecraft range from fighters to dreadnoughts plus satellites and space stations that mainly differ in the available room for modules. The amount and type of equipment affects the ship's speed, maneuverability and energy consumption.</p>
<p>There was no random or player-defined galaxy generation, only nine available scenarios with different map configurations. Galaxy generation was however added at a later time through a patch. Other star systems could initially only be reached through hyperspace tunnels.There are nine galactic races that slightly differ from each other. The rest of the game follows the 4X genre canon: you try to capture as much planets as possible, colonize them, start mining for resources, construct various buildings and build more spaceships.There is also a scientific research part that is centered around military advancement and a simple diplomacy system.</p>
<p>The game is played in real-time and battles are executed in the same fashion. The combat is interactive and commands can be issued to the fleet. The game is said to support hundreds of ships and they can be controlled by grouping and making formations. The battles are displayed with a bird's-eye perspective with the ships presented as pre-rendered sprites as in many other contemporary RTS games.</p>

The player, as Santa Claus, has to pick up and deliver each present to the correct house. However, there is no indication which house a present goes to. The only way to find out is to try and deliver a present. If it's in the right place, the present will get picked up, and the occupants will put a wreath on the door. If the address is wrong, they slam the door shut angrily, causing snow to fall from the roof, which will block the path in front of the house for a while. The player has to remember the wrong deliveries until they figure out where all the packages go, completing the level.</p>
<p>The adversary is an Easter Bunny, who roams the streets with his ghetto blaster. Hearing the sound of his electronic music getting louder warns players that he's approaching. To their defense, some piles of snowballs are scattered around the levels. Firing a snowball at the Bunny makes him stop for a moment, and a couple more hits will get him to turn around and walk the other way. If the Easter Bunny catches Santa Claus, however, he'll beat him up and wraps him in a big Easter egg, forcing him to restart the stage. Various other pickups help Santa Claus in evading the Bunny, getting around obstacles in the level, or just add to his score.</p>

<p><em>Colossus X Draughts</em> is a single-player, mouse/keyboard controlled DOS implementation of the popular board game. This game is from the developer of <em>Colossus Draughts</em> which won draughts championships in the early 1990's.</p>
<p>The game plays in CGA and EGA modes and has the following features:* Games can be saved, loaded and replayed.</p>
<ul>
<li>There is a Blindfold option where the player's pieces, the AI opponent's pieces, or both are hidden any of which makes for a really odd game.</li>
<li>There are six types of game; tournament; equal time etc, game clocks, and three types of draughts piece.</li>
<li>One of the strengths of the early <em>Colossus Draughts</em> game was its game book, a database of opening moves. This game also has a game book with a database of moves and the game contains a 'Book Keeper' function which allows the player to alter the database - though the manual does stress very strongly that this is for expert users only</li>
</ul>
<p>The pieces are moved by either clicking on first the piece and then the destination, alternatively the player can click on a piece and drag-and-drop it or they can specify a move by typing, for example, g3h4 which specifies the start and end cell. </p>
<p>The game communicates with the player via a message area at the bottom of the screen and has an in-game option to change the language of these messages, the languages changed by entering English, Francais, Deutsch, Espanol or Italiano at the appropriate prompt.</p>

<p>This <em>Tetris</em> version is an unofficial DOS adaptation of the puzzle game. At the top of the screen blocks appear one at a time. These blocks move slowly downwards where they pile up. The player can rotate and move the blocks so they form lines, which will then disappear. The longer the game lasts, the faster the blocks fall down.</p>

<p>Pac is an unofficial version of <a href="/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a>. It is an arcade game in which the player moves a character through a maze and eats as many dots as possible to get a high score. The character is chased by four monsters. There are also four stars in the maze and when one of them is eaten, the character can eat the monsters. When all the dots are gone a new level appears.</p>

<p>Duits (Dutch for German) is an educational game for learning German words. The game shows 50 German words, one after the other, and the player must enter the Dutch translation of each word. The first and the last letter of each answer is already entered and it's shown how many letters there are in each word. The player has 45 seconds to enter each answer.</p>

<p><em>Hall of Fame CD-ROM</em> is a collection of shareware and public domain software. Though the menu runs in DOS and the majority of the contents are designed for this platform there is a Windows section which contains a mixture of utilities, 'jokes' and games.</p>
<p>The menu system is quite simplistic and not user friendly. The fist screen requires the user to select a category by number, DOS games are numbered 23-26 and Windows is number 70. Once the category has been selected the user has options to transfer or unpack a file from the CD to another disc, all games are in .lzh format, but in order to do this they must first browse the file list, then select and remember the exact name. The unpack option is used to install games, the transfer option is used to transfer any documentation that is held separately</p>
<p>The groupings themselves are best described as a rough guide to the wide variety of software and games on the disc. For example under 'Educational and other titles for kids' there is an animated alphabet, algebra and maths tutors as well as teacher's scoring aids while the 'Games' section contains programs for racing handicapping and collating baseball statistics.</p>

<p>Stuiter (Dutch for bounce) is a game with a playing field full of dots. On this field there's a snake eating those dots. When the snake hits one of the walls, he bounces off in a different direction. The player can change these walls and thus alter the path of the snake. There's also a monster that moves in the same way as the snake. When the snake and the monster hit each other 5 times, the game ends. The objective of the game is to let the snake eat as much dots as possible.</p>

<p><em>Schieten</em> (Dutch for shoot) is a one-button shooting game. On the screen a shooting target is shown and a randomly moving dot. The objective of the game is to press the spacebar when the dot is as close as possible to the bullseye. The closer the dot is to the center of the target, the more points the player gets.
After 25 bullets have been fired, the game ends.</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5214/jetfighter-the-adventure/">JetFighter: The Adventure</a></li>
</ul>

<p>5-Seconden is a game that checks whether the player knows how much 5 seconds is. After a signal the player has to wait and when he thinks 5 seconds have passed, he must press the spacebar. The closer the player is to 5 seconds, the more points he scores. The game ends after 10 rounds.
This game can be played by 1 or 2 players.</p>

<p><em>Guldans Rache: 850 Level für Warcraft II</em> is an unofficial add-on disc with 850 new levels for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness</a>. The CD also includes several editors, cheats tools and hints.</p>

<p>In Bind-Woord the player is shown two words that share a common part, which is replaced by dots. The objective of this game is to fill in the dots. When the player doesn't know the answer, he can press F1 to get the right answer. The game ends after 10 rounds.</p>

<p><em>Henrietta's Book Of Spells</em> is one of a series of educational titles from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Scetlander">Scetlander</a>. This game focuses on English and was originally created for <em>Archimedes A3000</em> before being ported to the <em>ZX Spectrum</em> and <em>Commodore 64</em> and <em>DOS</em>. <em>Henrietta's Book Of Spells</em> was later remade for <em>Windows</em>, that version used five different languages.</p>
<p>Previous games saw Henrietta marry the love of her life, Henry. This game starts when they've been married for two weeks. Henry visited Morgana The Morbid in Castle Spellalot and the two had a heated discussion the upshot of which is that Henry is now a fat frog. The object of the game is therefore to help Henrietta undo the spell. </p>
<p>The initial menu offers the player two choices a game for 7-10 year olds, a game for 11-14+ year olds and a game editor. After selecting one of the game options and setting the game's difficulty by choosing length of the words to be used (the range is five to nine letters) the player undertakes five mini-games. Each of the mini games use an animation of some sort to score, if successful the player wins a red crystal which earns the player a letter in Henrietta's spellbook. The games, which can be completed in any order, are ;* Complete: Here the player is shown a series of words with some letters missing, the task is to type in the full word correctly.</p>
<ul>
<li>Jumbles: Here the player is given an anagram which they must resolve.</li>
<li>Flash: The game shows the player a word for a short time, the player must then type it in correctly</li>
<li>Hang-up: A hangman game.</li>
<li>Crack-It: The player is shown a coded word and has to decipher it, a clue in the form of another word in native and encoded form is provided.</li>
</ul>
<p>When all the mini games have been completed the player will have five letters on Henrietta's spellbook. These are an anagram which is the final puzzle. When the player solves the final anagram there's a short animation which sees Henry restored to his normal shape, the game then shows the high score table and concludes by rewarding the player with a rendition of Henry's concerto.</p>
<p>The words use English spelling, 'centre' not 'center' and though the supplied word list is limited the player has the option to add words of their own. Each mini game is timed and there's a 'help' option which shows the correct answer in exchange for a time penalty</p>

<p><em>Memory Castle</em> is an educational game where the player is a knight who has to enter and accomplish tasks in a castle. The game gives instructions to the player who has to memorize them. The player is then asked questions on what should be done next, for example where to go, and has to answer correctly to progress through the game. An incorrect answer leads to the game ending. The game has three difficulty levels which differ in number of tasks: easy (6 instructions), medium (12 instructions) and difficult (20 instructions). Upon completion a reward is given which is different for each level.</p>

<p>Stickybear ABC is an early "Edutainment" game for kids 3-7.  Stickybear was a children's book series from the early to mid 80s that focused on teaching children pre-school and elementary school knowledge.  Stickybear ABC follows the same vein by teaching letters with the help of the main character, Stickybear.</p>
<p>There are three different modes to Stickybear ABC: ABC, Match and Order.  The ABC mode allows the player to hit a key on the keyboard, and then see an object that starts with that letter.  The Match mode, which challenges the player to match a letter to an object.  Lastly, the Order mode, ask the player to order letters in the alphabet.</p>

<p><em>Jara-Tava: The Isle of Fire</em> is a traditionally-styled graphical text adventure. Your recently deceased uncle has bequeathed you a map purporting to show the location of Captain Kidd's treasure, sending you on a quest to explore the remote South Pacific islands of Jara-Mau and Jara-Tava. Can you survive the shark-infested waters and an imminent volcanic eruption to make off with the fabled treasure?</p>
<p>As in most parser-driven games, actions are achieved by typing simple commands: "Inventory," "South," "Get sword," "Tie rope," etc. A static first-person view illustrates the current scene, and the player can examine the map in their inventory to see the overall layout of the island. The Amiga port adds the ability to access some of the most common commands (such as movement, inventory, and the map view) by clicking with the mouse. Despite the game's short length, there are multiple distinct solutions to the challenges encountered: the manual states there are four ways to travel between the islands and three ways to find the treasure.</p>

<p><em>Peach's Dream</em> is a side-scrolling platform game about a girl named Peach. The Nightmares have taken over DreamLand and captured Peach's true love. Now Peach needs to collect four keys scattered across different dream worlds to enter the castle and defeat the Nightmares. Along the way she will find many useful powerups and items, and encounter various creatures, some of which may be hostile.</p>

<p><em>Escape from Ragor</em> is a fantasy role playing game, a typical dungeon crawler with tile-based movement and real-time combat. You're thrown into the labyrinthine dungeons of Castle Ragor and must now get out, overcoming the traps and obstacles set by its nefarious master, Megrim. Explore the walls of Ragor and find an exit. That will not be easy as your jailer tries to confuse and mislead you, and the dungeons are full of Megrim's minions and dangerous monsters.</p>
<p>The game is controlled entirely with the mouse, which is used to interact with the environment, manipulate inventory items and move the character around by clicking the navigational arrows on the interface. You can use items like spells, healing potions and poisons in fights with the enemies. Combat flows in real time and the outcome of any encounter ultimately depends on how fast you click the attack button, located in the centre of the navigational arrows. The simple combat system automatically uses an offensive magic spell if one is selected and there is enough mana, and otherwise switches to conventional weapons if such are available and readied (held in the player character's hands).</p>
<p>Exploration is much simplified thanks to the built-in automap, which also highlights fake walls and switches for the player's convenience. If a tile currently occupied by the player contains any items that can be picked, an eye icon will pop up on the interface, with the items then shown in a separate small window. Some tiles have a red banner with a golden question mark, which when activated will display messages, often coming from Megrim, the main antagonist of the game, and sometimes hints.</p>
<p>Unlike many dungeon crawlers of this type, there is no party but only one player character, and no character generation. The only choice given to the player is that of the protagonist's sex, which does not affect starting stats. Experience is gained by the usual means of killing monsters.</p>
<p><em>Escape from Ragor</em> has a hunger/thirst system, with hunger and thirst levels displayed on the character screen. These can be replenished by using food and drink found in the dungeon. You get a flask of water at the start, which may be later refilled in fountains that are found in some areas of the dungeon.</p>

<p>The objective of Clearer is to clear the screen. The game starts with a white screen and a bouncing ball. Everywhere the ball goes, the screen turns black. The player controls a paddle which is used to keep the ball on the screen. The game ends after three rounds.</p>

<p><em>Run for the Money</em> is an educational game about running a business. The game is for two players who share the same screen to move around their characters. The characters are bizlings, space travellers who have crash landed on Planet Simian. The crash has caused damage to the ship's paint shield and before they can leave they need to acquire paint.</p>
<p>To buy the needed paint it is first necessary to make some money. This is done by producing and selling synannas (synthetic bananas) to the Simian population. First the players have to acquire a raw material called ruf which is done by moving the bizling to one of the six rufhouses located on the screen. Each rufhouse has its own price which indicates its quality. After entering a rufhouse the player can wait for the price to drop but there is a risk that the seller will decide to not sell. After buying the rufs they can be brought to the space ship and manufactured into synannas which the Simians then will pick up and pay for. Sometimes it's necessary to advertise which is done by turning on a sign.</p>
<p>The price is set at $40 when starting out but after each week the player can set their own prices. At the end of each week the players will get information in the form of graphs on how they are doing. The players also get access to a prediction machine which can be used to see what might happen with the profits in the coming week. Awards are then given to the player that gets closest to the predictions made.</p>
<p>Paint can be bought from a scientist that moves around in a paint van. When it stops there will be an auction for each bucket of paint with the highest bidder getting it. The player that buys the paint can then begin painting the shield. After every two weeks it is possible to attempt a launch of the space ship. The shield does not have to be fully painted but the more paint it has the better the chances are.</p>

<p>A slightly isometric top-down tennis game between two players, either computer or human. Players can choose three types of field to play on: grass, dirt or clay as well as three difficulty settings.</p>
<p>Players can create a new character and save its statistics to track its progress. The game features the standard rules of tennis, where a ball must be hit over the net into the opposing player's area of the court.</p>

<p><em>Game of Robot</em> is a text-mode action game in which the goal is to guide a character through a series of rooms, collect some gold, and bring it back to the starting location. The seven rooms along the way are partly designed with a fixed layout, partly generated randomly. Each room is initially populated by a number of robots (displayed as characters from the Greek alphabet) which try to reach the player in a direct line. If the player is touched by any of them, they lose a life. Robots can be eliminated either by leading them into electric fences (red hash characters), or moving isolator blocks in a way that traps them. The more pinned-down they are, the more likely they are to self-destruct. Only when all robots in a room are eliminated, the passage to the next room is opened.</p>
<p>The randomly generated rooms have a chance of containing a teleport to a labyrinth room. Players have to observe the movement patterns of the robots in the labyrinth, in order to not get pinned into a corner by them as they move along the mostly linear hallways to the exit teleport. Leaving a labyrinth stage takes the player to the next stage, same as if they had normally completed the room from which they teleported into the labyrinth. Both the labyrinth stages and the final room contain gold bars, which the player is supposed to collect and bring back to room number 1. Dying leads to a loss of gold and one life. Pickups strewn around the stages include extra lives and clones, which help distract the robots.</p>
<p>Once the gold has been returned to room number one, players can repeat the process to increase their score further, until they run out of lives.</p>
<p>The original version of the game was developed for a custom-build home computer with an MOS Technology 6502 8-bit microprocessor. This DOS port was written in 1986, and later served as the groundwork for the tile-graphics-based <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6876/the-game-of-robot/">Game of Robot</a> shareware game and its successors.</p>

<p>Like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/65176/arithmetic-games-set-1/">the first set</a>, this installment features two games that flex the player's mathematical skills. This time both are based on puzzles, which must be solved within the chosen number of turns (at adjustable difficulty levels).</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong><em>Discovery Machine</em></strong>: one or two players face off against the titular apparatus, which takes a number, applies a hidden formula and prints the result. The contraption displays a sample input/output pair, and your task is to find out the formula. For each input shown, you'll have to guess the result; if you get it right three times in a row, you win.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong><em>Number Chase</em></strong>: a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/9137/mastermind-variants/">Mastermind</a>-style code-breaking game - the player has to guess a series of digits, and gets an evaluation after each turn. Two human opponents may play each other; in the single-player version, the computer can (optionally) join in as an AI opponent, and take a stab at guessing the human player's number on its own.</p>

<p><em>The Kingdom of Syree II: Black Magic</em> is the sequel to the role-playing game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/38168/the-kingdom-of-syree/">The Kingdom of Syree</a>. Like its predecessor, it bears considerable similarity to the early titles in the <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/ultima-series">Ultima series</a>.</p>
<p>In <em>Black Magic</em>, the player resumes the role of the Lord Champion of Syree, who, having defeated the evil wizard in the first game, returned to the life of a simple farmer. This peaceful existence however is interrupted when the news come that the Keeper of the Power has passed away. The Keeper is a person responsible for all the mystic powers in the realm. When a Keeper dies, the power is immediately transferred to a newborn child. This child must be raised as a good person for magical powers to be available to everyone, but if the Dark Forces find the child first, the balance of magic power will be upset. So the Lord Champion prepares for another journey to save the kingdom.</p>
<p>Unlike the first game, <em>The Kingdom of Syree II</em> is shareware and requests registration from the player. However the unregistered version is not limited in any way except the delay upon loading with the message urging the user to register. There is an optional sounds pack which allows to use Sound Blaster sound effects and music instead of PC speaker sounds.</p>

<p><em>C&amp;C Level-CD: Vol.3</em> is an unofficial add-on with 400 extra levels for <a href="/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>. The CD also includes several editors, cheats and hints.</p>

<p>This game is a DOS remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4632/boulder-dash/">Boulder Dash</a>, featuring VGA graphics.</p>

<p>"Etranges Affaires" (Strange Affairs) is a compilation of two investigations games from Infogrames : <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/36122/vera-cruz/">Vera Cruz</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/36740/the-sydney-affair/">The Sydney Affair</a>.</p>
<p>A walkthrough for both games is also enclosed in an envelope.</p>

<p>In yet another game inspired by the famous movie scene, two (human) players challenge each other to a reckless match of light cycling -- guiding their vehicles throughout the top-down playfield while trying not to plow into the surrounding walls, or into the trails that their light-cycles leave behind.  In this particular version, both belligerents are beset by big blocky boxes that clutter the arena; each round brings a new and random arrangement of these obstacles, which our cyclists would be wise to avoid.</p>
<p>Other than changing directions at will, the players may accelerate or decelerate to control their speed of movement.  Crashing into anything ends the round and awards a single point to the opponent, and the first player to reach a score of ten gets the game.</p>

<p><em>Hex</em> is a computer translation of the strategy game of the same name: a 11x11 grid of hexagonal cells makes up the four-sided game board; each of the two players (black and white) is assigned a pair of opposing sides. The white player moves first, and both challengers take turns placing pieces on the board. To win, either player must form an unbroken sequence of pieces connecting their two colored sides. <em>Hex</em> may be played human vs. human or human vs. machine, plus a demo mode which lets you watch as two machine opponents match wits with one another.</p>

<p>The strategy board game Chinese Checkers is unrelated to checkers, nor does it originate in China; nevertheless, this particular adaptation draws heavily on Chinese themes. <em>Tiào Ch'i</em> translates to "jump chess", and computer AI players are given the names of deities from the ancient Chinese pantheon. Each player controls a contingent of numbered tiles, but in the graphical version these can be replaced with pictorial tokens, representing the 12 animal signs of the Chinese zodiac.</p>
<p>2 to 6 players may participate, with each player attempting to relocate all his tokens to the opposite side of the star-shaped game board. One piece may be moved per turn - either by advancing a single step onto an empty space, or by a series of jumps over other tokens. Human or CPU control may be chosen for each player; all computer opponents have a unified skill level (Novice, Expert or Master) which may be changed in mid-game.</p>

<p><em>Tetris Gold Professional</em> is a basic protected-mode DOS <em>Tetris</em> game from 1998, distributed with DOS and Windows installers as was typical for Windows 3.1-era DOS games. There are no options and no difficulty selection. Level 2 chooses from more than one background image, music track, and a set of pre-filled blocks when you reach it.</p>
<p>In addition to the "selections from MOD Archive" music that the game itself uses (MOD files with ".TPM" file extensions), the disc contains a full album of techno mixes in Redbook Audio (CD Audio) format.</p>

<p>Driester (Dutch for three star) is a game in which the player must clear the playing field by catching three stars at a time. Stars appear randomly on the playing field. The player controls a square and when there are exactly three stars in the square, the player earns points and two of the stars disappear. The game ends when there are 170 stars on the playing field.</p>

<p>In <em>Phagefight</em>, you are in control of an army of bacteriophage. Small viral organisms engaged in an epic battle over an area a few microns wide.</p>
<p>It is a small turn-based strategy game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/69188/ataxx/">Ataxx</a>. The board is 7x7 squares, and there are 20 different boards differing in obstacles and initial starting places. In turns, players (or player vs. computer) move one of their pieces. If the piece is moved to an adjacent square, the piece is duplicated, otherwise the piece moves up to 2 squares away. All enemy pieces adjacent to the landing square are converted to the player's colour. If the board becomes full or a player doesn't have any legal moves, the player with more pieces wins; it's also possible to win by eating all of the enemy's pieces.</p>
<p>Besides the 20 different boards, the background colour and cycling speed can be customized, and the AI difficulty and aggressiveness can be tuned. Although the game is designed for then-modern PC's, it could be run in an old XT model and it could fit in a 5.25" DD 360 KiB disk.</p>

<p><em>Styx</em> or <em>Styx Remastered</em> is a free remake of the classic game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Styx">Styx</a>. This remake is made by the same author of Digger Remastered, and it's also based on a Windmill Software creation from the 1980s. It's very close to the original, with new options and graphics but preserving the original gameplay.</p>
<p>Styx itself is a version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=qix">QIX</a>. You must enclose areas of the playing zone while avoiding bouncing enemies.</p>

<p><em>Hound of the Baskervilles</em> is a CD-ROM adaptation of the classic <em>Sherlock Holmes</em> novel by Sir <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/117718/arthur-conan-doyle/">Arthur Conan Doyle</a>. The player must comb a visual novel and sift through clues -- including photographs, documents, maps and items -- from the case to eventually reach his own conclusion as to the mystery's solution.</p>

<p><em>The Great Giant Sisters</em> is an unofficial DOS port/recreation of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11582/the-great-giana-sisters/">The Great Giana Sisters</a>. It uses Amiga version style graphics and sound effects, and recreated Commodore 64 soundtrack. While the game relatively accurately reproduces the core playing mechanics, the items which grant Giana additional powers are not implemented, resulting in a different style of gameplay compared to the original <em>Giana Sisters</em>. The layout of levels is also not the same.</p>

<p><em>Space Games</em> is a bundle of four already classic games hacked to pretend that they were different games and/or made by Keypunch:<em> <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Alien">Alien</a> (1982) hacked to show the title as </em>Alien Explorer* and Keypunch Software as the maker.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Lunar+Landing+">Lunar Landing</a> (1982)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/43894/newtrek/">NewTrek</a> (1982) hacked to show the title as <em>Space Trek</em> and unable to show instructions.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11089/space-commanders-ii/">Space Attackers II</a> (1985) called <em>Invaders</em> in the menu</li>
</ul>
<p>To access the games there is a simple text menu with coloured words, and additionally you can check the list of Keypunch products. <em>Space Attackers II</em> requires a reboot both to enter and exit the game.</p>

<p><em>Starduel</em> is a two player game in which each player control a spaceship in a time limited battle, flying around a star, shooting at each other.</p>
<p>Each player uses the keyboard keys to turn his ship an any direction, and give it a velocity; a ship will continue at constant speed and direction until changed by the players, and if if flies off the edge of the screen, it will come back on the opposite side.
Each time a ship is destroyed, the opponent score a point. If both ships are destroyed in a collision, both players score a point.
A damage model allows for partial destruction, so depending on were a ship gets hit, and from how far away, the damage may be survivable.</p>
<p>There is a limited amount of fuel and ammunition, and the duel has a default 20s time limit, after which the game ends and the score is shown, resulting in declaring either left or right player as winner, or the game as a draw.</p>
<p>The playing field is a fixed black screen, wrapping around at the edges, and the star is a indestructible object lacking gravity, and does not affect the flight path of the ships, unless a ship flies into it, in which case the ship is destroyed.</p>
<p>The game parameters can be edited in the start menu, to change game length, fuel amount, maximum speed etc.
(Some parameters like game length, are not changeable until the game is registered)</p>

<p><em>Sinaria: Lost In Space</em> is a precursor to <a href="/search/?q=John+Pollard">John Pollard</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Joe+Hillman">Joe Hillman's</a> later game, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/42328/vigilance-on-talos-v/">Vigilance on Talos V</a>. Like that game, <em>Sinaria</em> is heavily inspired by the SNES tite <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6627/super-metroid/">Super Metroid</a>. As an unnamed brave adventurer, it falls upon you to free the world of Sinaria from the evil Stomper and his minions. Along the way you must defeat drones that bear Stompers likeness before facing off against the real thing.</p>
<p>In addition to platforming around and fighting enemies, you must collect a number of items that let you pass specific obstacles and help you explore the world further, as is the <em>metroidvania</em> style. The Saturn Ball lets you transform into ball form, squeeze through small passages, and drop bombs to destroy breakable blocks. X-Ray Vision lets you spot hidden passages and secrets, Jump Boots let you jump higher to get to hard to reach platforms, and the Swivel lets you swing over obstacles by grappling onto special blocks.</p>
<p>The game features 256 color graphics, digital sound effects, and MOD music. It was planned as part of a 2-part shareware deal, but the 2nd part, <em>Return of Stomper</em>, was never released.</p>

<p><em>TIE Invaders</em> is a simple, fixed-screen space shooter. The player takes control of a dinky, mobile cannon that can move left and right across the bottom of the screen. This unlikely defender finds itself harassed by a never-ending wave of alien intruders hell-bent on ruining everybody's day; these TIE fighters from space come in two main variants: smaller ones drop simple missiles straight down at the player, while their larger brothers prefer to fire three-way spread shots. There are no levels, just continuous action - more invaders arrive regularly to replace their fallen comrades.</p>
<p>The player's gunner can fire continuously, and its weapon can be gradually improved by collecting power-ups. There are three lives to start with, plus a new one for every 1000 points. The game runs entirely in (80x50) text mode, although in demoscene tradition it's tweaked for special effects like screen fades and scrolling starfields.</p>

<p><em>Squirm</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Snake">Snake</a>-type game which finds you, the player, prospecting for diamonds; to your consternation, the precious stones are guarded by packs of rampaging ghosts. These supernatural spooks - for their own ghostly reasons - line up in tight, orderly ranks that march horizontally across the screen. Your task is to squirm past the ghosts and grab the solitary, blinking diamonds without getting caught.</p>
<p>Unlike most Snake variants, you're free to touch the walls, reverse course, or travel through your own tail without penalty. When you (or the ghosts!) snatch a diamond, a new one will appear elsewhere; if you're the lucky catcher, you gain 100 points and a longer body. You only get a single life to accumulate as much loot as you can: one touch from a ghost, and your hoarding is over.</p>

<p><em>Karkoth's Keep</em> is a dungeon-crawler set in a fantasy realm, whose royal House of Quilan was extinguished generations ago by the undead witch king Karkoth. You, a descendant of the noble dynasty, set out into the dungeon under Krakoth's keep in search of the magical sword Ramdahl, with which the evil usurper can be defeated.</p>
<p>Attributes are determined by random rolls, and bestow bonuses or penalties along with the choice of race (Greyelf, Dwarf, Human, Halfelf or Highelf) and profession (Ranger, Fighter, Cleric, Magic-User, Gedi, or Monk) - not all of which may be combined. The adventure starts in the town of Nosar, your base of operations; it boasts hotels, shops, taverns and a hospital for all your basic CRPG needs. The way to the Keep must be divined by communicating with the townsfolk.</p>
<p>In the Keep's dungeon, only your current line-of-sight is visible; oddities like hidden teleports make the journey less than linear. The rumored Endless Staircase connects all ten dungeon levels, with the coveted sword hidden somewhere in the deepest four. En route, the randomly-encountered monsters will do their best to make the seeker's life unpleasant (and short) - fortunately, battle and exploration reward you with treasure, which takes many forms: valuables, weapons, magical items, and other opportunities for good or bad luck. Spells (for characters that can use them) and magical scrolls provide further assistance, and food must not be forgotten either.</p>
<p>Character development follows the standard practice of automatic levelling through experience points gained in combat, though you may also trade gold for them when you go in/out of the dungeon. Getting your character killed will have the nasty effect of erasing its file from the game disk.</p>

<p><em>A.D Cop</em> is a rail-shooter game, a clone of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Virtua+Cop">Virtua Cop</a>. The game is all about fast aiming and features six missions, although only three are available at the beginning. Each mission is divided into three stages with a level boss at the end. The player (policeman) uses a special helmet equipped with a viewfinder computer. The computer marks the opponent in a frame defining the threat level and time remaining to attack. The player is equipped with a gun and bazooka. During the mission he can raise the weapon of the killed opponent, f.e. shotgun, grenade, M-16, automated pistol. Killing a hostage takes one life. Life can be supplemented by finding a heart symbol.   </p>
<p>v2.10 contains improved menu graphics and features full LightGun support.</p>

<p>Skullduggery is a classic text adventure, set on the southeast coast of eighteenth-century England. During this period smuggling goods into England was a common enterprise; necessitated primarily by the King's tax on imports. Indeed, it was a rare family who did not participate in the smuggler's business at some time.</p>
<p>In this particular adventure a member of the Royal Family Leominster, William the Wildheart, was heavily involved in the business of smuggling. However, at some point in his career he was caught and turned-in by his family. As a result of his family's betrayal, William was found guilty and executed.</p>
<p>Although dead, William's hate was intense and it prompted his return as a ghost. Also, William had hidden a massive treasure which his family coveted greedily, and which he desired to keep for himself. (Who said you can't take it with you?)</p>
<p>As an angry spirit, William wanted desperately to make his family pay for their sins while protecting his treasure against any and all intruders. To this end, William will unmercifully torture any individual who enters his domain.</p>

<p><em>A.D Cop: Overseas Mission</em> is a bundled releases of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/89014/ad-cop/">A.D Cop</a>, sold with a LightGun, featuring enhanced menu graphics and a new level.</p>

<p><em>H-Tron</em> is a traditional light-cycle game written in Turbo C, and aimed at IBM PCs and clones with monochrome (Hercules-compatible) graphics. Each of the two contestants can be controlled by either a human or the computer - a machine-vs.-machine demo mode is available too.</p>
<p>As always, the formula involves two TRON-style light-cycles that leave deadly trails in their wake, trying to encircle and trap each other. Crashing into such a trail (or into the arena walls) spells death for the hapless cyclist, and earns a point for the opponent. The first player to win five rounds is the victor.</p>

<p>The first in LonaiSoft's series of Brave Bubble Dragon games, this is pretty much a direct clone of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bubble+Bobble">Bubble Bobble</a>: two plucky but affable dragons battle their way through a series of platform-laden screens, disposing of their enemies by blowing bubbles that can trap them, and collecting prodigious amounts of food along the way.</p>
<p>The bubbles may be jumped on, to carry your dragon into otherwise-inaccessible areas, or popped by touching them: if the burst bubble contains a trapped enemy, it'll turn into an edible bonus. In familiar fashion, certain types of bubbles may be used as weapons; power-up items can bestow special abilities; bubbles that spell out 'EXTEND' can be collected for a bonus (one million points, in this case); and even Baron Von Blubba gets his own counterpart.</p>
<p>Unlike <em>Bubble Bobble</em>, however, consecutive stages are grouped into worlds - each with its own theme, complete with a boss creature which must be disposed of using special powers. Other innovations include quirks like teleporting doors and different types of (timed) bonus stages.</p>

<p><em>Mat Miś</em> is an educational set of three mini games: * <strong>Labirynt</strong> - the task of the player is to reach the object on the other side of the maze in the shortest possible time. The labyrinth size and time lapse speed is adjustable.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Studnia</strong> - is a <a href="/search/?q=tetris">Tetris</a> variant. The game takes place in the same manner except that the player does not stack bricks but mathematical operations. The player's task is to choose the correct missing part of mathematical operation. The correct answer choice is made by selecting one of the eleven options at the bottom of the screen.</li>
<li><strong>Zgadula</strong> - requires filling missing part of mathematical operation by selecting one of then answers. One mistake per operation is allowed, specifying whether the selected digit is too small or too large.</li>
</ul>
<p>Each game has its own setup options and score table.</p>

<p><em>SideLine</em> is a 2D side-scrolling shooter, will all the features typical to mid 90's classics, such as power-up items, various types of weapons, shield that absorbs damage from enemy projectiles, accompanying drones or level bosses at the end of every stage. The action of this game takes place in the future on a hostile planet, where two small ships are sent to destroy enemy creatures. The screen is moving constantly to the right, although the duel with the level boss takes place on a single screen. The basic weapon has infinite ammunition, more advanced weaponry requires collecting missiles. Enemies are divided into mobile and stationary, supplemented by traps and walls.</p>

<p><em>Terroid</em> is a single person, top down, sideways scrolling, shareware, space shooter. The game plays much like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5960/r-type/">R-Type</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7635/swiv/">S.W.I.V.</a> which is as the makers intended, with the player facing wave after wave of alien craft while flying over missile firing ground installations and collecting power-ups. It can be played via a joystick or the keyboard and has sound effects and music.</p>
<p>The story behind the game is the generic tale of a lone starfighter returning from patrol to find their home planet destroyed and that the population have been teleported to the alien homeworld as slaves. Only you, that lone pilot, can free them. </p>
<p>The full game has nine levels plus two 3D bonus levels, one comes after level three and the other after level six, in which the player has to fly their ship through a series of silver rings while avoiding space mines. The objective is simply to achieve a high score, there are three levels of difficulty Beginner, Easy and Normal with the player scoring more points on the harder settings. These games have fixed levels which contain minefields, barriers and traps. There is also a Training game mode which plays an endless game with "an intelligent level generator' which creates attack waves to fight against, these levels do not have the traps and challenges of the standard games</p>
<p><em>Terroid</em> has no save game option but, unusually, if the player has lost their three lives and has a score in excess of 50,000 they are offered the option of buying three extra lives in exchange for points.</p>

<p>In <em>Euro-stad</em> (Dutch for Euro-city) the name of a city is shown and the player has to select in which European country this city is located. The player has 20 seconds to answer the question. The game is over after three wrong answers.</p>

<p><em>Galgje</em> is the Dutch version of <em>Hangman</em>. The game shows a row of dots which represents the letters of a word. The player has to guess this word by entering letters. When a letter is in the word a dot is replaced by this letter. When a letter is not in the word part of a gallows is drawn. The player receives points by guessing the right word. After 10 wrongly guessed letters the gallows is completely drawn and the round is over. The game ends after 10 rounds.</p>

<p><em>Gokkast</em> is a Dutch slot machine game. You start with 100 points. Pulling the lever costs 1 point.

Entering rooms in multi-storey building, Gavrila should put proper boxes on the weighing-machine and apply proper labels to these boxes based on the initial task. There are four weighting trials for each room before making a final decision. The room with puzzle is kept unsolved until the Gavrila's decision is correct. Gavrila can also interact with different objects in the room such as spider web or mouse hole for fun. The progress for already solved rooms is restored for a certain player's profile with next game run. Highest scores are stored in top five table.</p>

All wrenches caught by the aliens lead to the points for the player. Highest scores are stored in the top ten table.</p>

<p><em>Trek73</em> allows players to simulate space battles between various vessels from the Star Trek franchise. It takes inspiration from the board game Star Fleet Battles.

<p><em>Kalah</em> is an adaptation of the Oriental board game with the same name, which is a part of the Mancala family of games. The two-player game is played by one player against an AI opponent by turns. Each player has six boxes containing six balls and a kalah, a rod to collect the balls. Each turn the player selects one of the boxes to distribute its balls one-by-one to the next boxes and kalahs counterclockwise. The aim of the player is to collect more balls for the player's kalah. The game ends up, when all the balls are transferred from boxes to kalahs.</p>
<p>There are important notes in game rules as follows:* If the last distributed ball is placed into player's kalah, the player is awarded with one more turn;</p>
<ul>
<li>

<p><em>Paranoid</em> boasts a very small program size (under 61k including all data files), thirty levels, tuneful PC speaker sound effects and sixteen-colour graphics. There are a number of upgrades and downgrades within the game, released from certain blocks including multi-ball, sticky paddle, larger paddle, smaller paddle, defensive line below the paddle, extra balls, a cannon and many more. The physics model allows players to increase or decrease the speed of the ball by controlling the angle the paddle hits it. An extra degree of difficulty comes from the shift keys being the only means of controlling the paddle - no speedy mouse control here.</p>

<p><em>From Corner To Corner</em> is a four-players or two-players turn-based board game. The goal for each player is to move all balls from player's corner to the opposite corner of the playfield faster than others.

The game has an option to select human or AI opponents as well as to set a one of four difficulty levels.</p>

<p><em>The Battle on the Black Sea</em> is an adaptation of the Battleship board game, representing a fictional conflict between Russian Federation and Ukraine for the domination over the Black Sea after the U.S.S.R. collapse. Rather a parody of the collapse situation, the game puts the player in the shoes of the Russian fleet commander on his campaign to conquer the Ukrainian ports.</p>

<p><em>Nine</em> is an adaptation of the Russian version of Fan Tan's card game for three persons (one human and two AI opponents) playing with a 36-card deck. After shuffling, all cards are dealt to the players and by turns each player adds a card starting with the "Nine of Diamonds" to the table organized in four rows for each suit, building down towards the "Six" on the left and up towards the "Ace" on the right. The object of the game is to get rid of all cards at hand by playing them. If the hand is not empty yet, and there is no card available to play, the player skips the turn and adds a fee to the bank, which is already filled with entry fee for the round. The player, who's gotten rid of the cards first, collects the bank for the round. The game session ends, when any of the players lose all his money. Each human player has own profile and can improve its statistics with winning more money during the game sessions.</p>

<p><em>Worlds at War: Conflict in the Cosmos</em> is a 4x science fiction space navy combat simulation game along the lines of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4361/reach-for-the-stars-the-conquest-of-the-galaxy/">Reach for the Stars: The Conquest of the Galaxy</a>. The player controls a fleet of space ships and bases, and proceeds to build ships, locate enemy bases, and take over the galaxy - or go down in defeat.</p>
<p>The game has an abstract board game style feel, but at higher difficulties adjacent regions can become more difficult to reach or even disconnected. Gameplay is always similar and in two dimensions, but the game setting can be selected as space or planetary seas for different difficulty levels and environment behavior.</p>

<p><em>Algebra Arcade</em> is an educational game which despite its title is not an arcade game. It does include some aliens however and these appear on a coordinate grid. The player's task is to zap as many of these so called algebroids as possible and this is done by typing in equations. When the entered equation is plotted a whirlwind will follow its path and knock off any algebroids that it passes through. For each algebroid that is taken out the player earns some points. At the same time it is necessary to avoid the ghost that is also located on the grid. If it is hit the Graph Gobbler will appear and munch the equation and the player will be without any points. The player will also be sent to a committee which can penalize the player by taking away some turns. The game can be played by one or two players who each has ten turns. Extra turns are given for scoring 10,000 points, clearing all the algebroids or by finding the Graph Gobbler which is invisible on the grid.</p>

<p><em>Leisure Suit Larry's Casino</em> is one of the five Nick's Picks budget games by Sierra. It consists of three casino mini-games: Slot machine, Black Jack and Poker.

<p><em>Land of the Unicorn</em> is an educational game for vocabulary practice that contains three activities: synonym review and quizzes, antonym review and quizzes and The Quest of the Silver Unicorn. The first two are for drilling and practising words while the third is the actual game.</p>
<p>In the quest game, the player controls a unicorn, Kelsany, who is looking for a magic necklace that will save his land from doom. The necklace can be found in one of five castles and the gameplay involves navigating through the maze-like gameworld and collect the keys that will open up each castle. As the player moves around the game will stop periodically and ask questions. There are multiple choice questions involving synonyms and antonyms and fill-in questions that involve anagrams. By answering questions correctly the player is awarded with gold. The gold is needed to pay bridge trolls who otherwise prevent the player from crossing rivers. The game ends when the player unlocks the door leading to the castle that contains the necklace.</p>

<p><em>Basketball Challenge</em> is a sports simulation similar to the publisher's previous game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/50988/nfl-challenge/">NFL Challenge</a>. The game is based on college basketball and features real players of its time although the twenty included teams have made up names. The player can choose any two of the teams and play single matches either between two human players, against an AI opponent or have both teams being controlled by the computer.</p>
<p>The game is played by making selections from text menus while the court and the players' positions are viewed from a simple top down perspective where each player is represented by a number. Before the start of a match, the player can give instructions to the team. This includes picking offensive and defensive plays, tempo and lineup. Once the match has begun a text commentary describes what happens while the numbers move around on the court. When coaching the player can influence the match by changing tactics or substituting players during dead ball situations. It is also possible to yell out instructions to the team when the game is running.</p>

<p>Like its predecessor <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/41144/millionaire-the-stock-market-simulation/">Millionaire</a>, <em>Tycoon</em> is a business simulation casting you in the role of an investor - this time in the commodity market. You start out with $10,000 in cash, and your quest is to turn that into much more by buying and selling various commodities. Each game turn represents one week, and allows you to survey the market by taking note of changing prices, reading the news, and reviewing the contracts on offer before you determine your actions. Your success is measured by your net worth; to win, you'll have to attain the status of Tycoon by amassing one million dollars. </p>
<p>You start out as a Novice, which only lets you trade in a limited number of high-margin commodities, and make long-position investments. If you can increase your net worth, more opportunities open up: you may trade in more commodities, enjoy smaller margin deposits, and take short positions as well. One player may compete at a time, but the game can keep a roster of up to 14 players with their achievement histories. There's a single save slot to store your session for a later time.</p>

<p>As with Blue Chip's other business simulation games, the objective in <em>Baron</em> is to get filthy rich by speculating and trading - this time around, in the American real estate market. The game is turn-based: each turn represents one month of market activities, and allows you to eyeball the market trends, get the lowdown on various properties, buy/sell them, trade in options and and take out loans. You start out with $35,000 in cash and the status of Novice, which carries some limitations like lower loans and high closing costs on sales. As you increase your net worth, becoming an Investor or a Banker, the limitations relax and you gain better leverage.</p>
<p>The goal is to achieve the status of Baron by piling up a net worth of $1,000,000 within 60 months, but if you pull that off, you may still opt to go for the next million and see how quick you can get there. On the other hand, a lack of business savvy may leave you bankrupt. Up to 14 players may record their status and history, although only one can play at a time. A single game session may be saved to disk and resumed later.</p>

<p><em>Sea War: Entscheidungsschlacht im Pazifik</em> is based on the classic turn-based board game Battleship.
Play against the AI or another player. Place your fleet on a 12x12 tiles board and try to hit the enemy's ships by selecting a field. You play for as long as you sink the ship or miss. If you sink the whole fleet, you win. Different ships from two tiles up to 5 tiles are available.</p>

<p>As suggested by the title, this adaptation leverages the methods of famous blackjack strategist <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/417016/ken-uston/">Ken Uston</a>. Focusing on completeness, the game simulates tables at more than 70 casinos across the US, and implements their different house rules in minute detail - from the number of decks to dealer behavior, surrendering, splitting, doubling, insurance bets and more. A table can have up to 7 players; each can be controlled by a human or by the CPU, and given different cash amounts and betting units. For even more variation, players can create their own casinos and customize the rules to their liking.</p>
<p>The game's stated purpose is to teach Uston's card-counting system. To that end, it includes a series of drills to practice the four different strategies, arranged by skill level. Computer-controlled players can be set to use any of these strategies during a game. For further instruction, the game offers card count data displays, keeps statistics and can rate the players based on their performance given their chosen strategy.</p>

<p><em>Richard Scarry's How Things Work in Busytown</em> is based on Richard Scarry's <em>Busytown</em> book and animated cartoon series and it is the sequel to the DOS and Sega Genesis game <a href="/search/?q=Richard+Scarry's+Busytown">Richard Scarry's Busytown</a>. Similar to the original game, you begin in a hub world where all the places in Busytown can be found. There is the Studio, where are songs played throughout the came can be listened to. The CD version of the game doubles as a CD with the same music.</p>
<p>In the bakery, you play as a chef pig in which you bake breads by using the correct ingredients and putting it in the oven. In the assembly line, you can build many vehicles by learning about the parts and then placing them in the correct spots. In the Garbage Truck, you control a garbage truck and you must pick up trash littered on the ground while dumping garbage cans into the truck. On the Farm, you can tend the fields using the tractor while learning about the farm. There are many different options and different outcomes throughout the many places.

<p><em>King</em> is a King card game inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6957/pref-club/">Pref Club</a>. It is also called a female Preferans and quite popular in Russia. The player joins a private cards club, which events are fictionally reflected in famous Russian "Komsomolskaya Pravda" tabloid newspaper. Selecting three opponent card players, whose skills vary from fools to card-sharpers, the player starts a game session. Each session includes 14 rounds, each meaning different goals either to take or to do not take tricks or specific cards, including a very special King of Hearts. More points collected during the game lead to more money won at the session's finish. The player's profile is storing the all-time progress during the club's visits, and top nine table shows the most successful players of the club.</p>

<p>This is a remake of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6440/manic-miner/">Manic Miner</a> where you play the role of Miner Willy, a bold explorer and adventurer. He discovers a network of underground caverns used by an advanced but now extinct civilisation that left valuable metals and minerals behind. Through 20 caverns, you must collect all the keys in the level before the time (air) runs out, avoiding the nasties and navigating the pitfalls. Once all keys have been collected Willy can move to the next level by going to the flashing exit.</p>

<p><em>Tanks' Destroyer</em> simulates a unit of legendary 45-mm anti-tank gun M-42 used by Soviet forces in World War II. During a campaign, the player should repel attacks of Nazi tanks such as Tiger, Panther, and suppress enemy firing points. Under the player's command, the gun can fire at selected enemy targets and change its position. The enemies are retaliating, causing damage to gun's personnel (pointer, loader, driver) and equipment (gun itself). Critical state of the gun is shown by cracks in the sight optics. Recharging takes time, especially if the loader is injured.</p>
<p>On the screen the player can observe a three-dimensional panorama of the battlefield (terrain, enemy tanks and firing points, results of shooting) in observation / aiming modes or reconnaissance data on a flat map (terrain, own dislocation, location of enemy facilities). Points are awarded for wrecked tanks and firing points. Top scores are stored in the record table. When all the enemy objects are destroyed, the player occupies the zone and moves to the next level. The main goal is to capture the bridge. But much more often the game overs with the heroic death of the unit.</p>

<p><em>Vetka</em> (<em>Ветка</em> - Branch in Russian) is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2112/pipe-dream/">Pipe Dream</a> variant. The puzzle task is to connect each burgeon on the grid field to the live branch by adjusting and turning other branches scattered around. There are six levels of difficulty, which differ by size of the puzzle. On the last difficulty level opposite edges of the field are stuck one with another, so the field becomes non-edged (mathematicians would say that the field is a torus). </p>
<p>The player should click a grid's cell to rotate it in order to make a correct connection with neighbor cell. Click left mouse button to rotate cell counter-clockwise. Click right button to rotate cell clockwise. Player's skill in assembling the branch is calculated during the game and saved in the score table if the player reaches the top ten result. The less is the time of player's successful actions and the less is the number of waste (not necessary) turns, the greater the score is. Top ten table is the same for all difficulty levels.</p>

<p><em>Vira</em> ("вира" is a professional "lift" command used by Russian loaders) is a puzzle game intended to load the goods of different characteristics onto a boat for a given time (500 seconds) to keep this boat's equilibrium. The player controls the crane, which lifts, rotates, moves, and loads the goods. There are three campaigns: Egyptian (same shapes, different weights), Norman (different shapes, same weights), and Modern (different shapes, same weights, and fills all the boat). When the level in each campaign is completed, the animated sequence transfers the player to the next level. The progress is restored with the next game run, and the player can continue any of the campaigns to the finish.</p>

<p><em>Catcher</em> (transliterated as Кэтчер in Russian) is an arcade puzzle game. On each level the goal is to catch all the bugs riding on the rectangular 5x5 grid. The quantity of bugs is increased with each level, and it is at least one item greater than a quantity of traps, which is also limited to be not greater than five. The player tries to catch the bugs with as less quantity of traps as possible for a given time. The highest scores are stored in top ten table.</p>

<p><em>Dropper</em> is an arcade game to catch the drops of a certain liquid falling from a ceiling, until these drops make a flood in the room. The player moves a bowl on the floor, and tries to figure out where the drop will fall, reflecting its starting position on the ceiling to the location on the floor. The more accurate catch gives more points. Rare red drops give more points in comparison to ordinary blue drops. Starting from a novice difficulty, the player should complete the level filling his bowl completely to reach the next difficulty. The player's progress is saved in his profile and restored on next game's run. Highest scores are stored in top eight table.</p>

<p><em>Zmeelov</em> (Змеелов is Snake Catcher in Russian) is a falling block puzzle, where the blocks are snakes of different kind and length. They are crawling on their landing, and eliminating the snakes of the same kind already landed and collided with the current ones. Later the original game idea was enhanced and released as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=WildSnake">WildSnake</a>.</p>

<p><em>μLabyrinth</em> is a puzzle game, where the player should guide an object across a magnetic field, which cells have different polarity. The magnetic field is auto-generated each time the player starts the level. Taking into account the principle of magnetic fields superposition, the player by turns should assign red (south) or blue (north) polarity to the object to make it move to the next cell in the magnetic field. In case of equilibrium state for the object in the current cell, the player can choose the movement direction on his own. It is restricted to return back to the cell already visited, or to leave the field, otherwise the control over the object will be lost. Points are achieved for timed-based passing the level. Highest points are stored in the top seven table.</p>

<p><em>Isaac Asimov: Science Adventure</em> is a single player, multimedia educational title which contains a science quiz - however it's not as straightforward as that.The first things to say about this product is that it is NOT an encyclopaedia and it is NOT structured - at least not in a conventional way, this product is a series of small articles that can be accessed in a variety of ways that are intended to pique the player's curiosity. </p>
<p>The screen is divided into four areas;* Upper Left: This starts with a picture of the Earth from the Moon but for most of the time it's an map of the world which the player can spin, zoom in/out of, and click on to get some information relevant to that location, it's even possible to zoom right out to view the solar system.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Upper Right: Here there are fourteen boxes each with a picture, most represent a branch of science. For example the first picture is an abacus so that must be mathematics - well maths is in there but you'll also find Stonehenge and other stuff; the next picture shows light going through prism and this takes us to the physics; the flasks of coloured liquid bring up something related to chemistry; the baby represents medicine; the cogs and gears are machines, the earth is geography and the picture of Saturn is space.<br>
Below these icons are the controls. The lifebelt is the in-game help; the U Turn sign goes back to the previous screen, the books represent the in-game library and the chess pieces start the game - more on that later</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Lower Left/Right: When a new article is selected the text appears in a window in the lower left and the associated picture appears in the lower right. Beneath the picture is a date and a timeline allowing players can use the timeline to scroll through articles chronologically</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The Quiz: This is not the standard quiz format where the player is asked a question and they either enter the answer or they choose a response from a pick list. This is a 'Science Adventure' so when the player selects one of the three difficulty settings they get asked a question and the task is then to find an article that gives the answer. </p>
<p>Sounds simple but it's not and this is not a flaw it's the essence of the title and is probably best explained by an example. One of the easy questions is "This planet is closest to the sun, can you find it?" So, up in the top right there's a map of the planet and the player zooms a long way and is rewarded with an image of the planets, selecting that will surely lead to the answer won't it? Well it doesn't, instead it leads to an article about LaPlace and his 1799 book on Celestial Mechanics. The next option our player tries is the in-game library where they find there's no entry under 'M for Mercury' or 'P for planets' however while looking the player wonders "Why is Tutankhamen's Tomb under the heading for pneumonia?" or "Why is there an entry for Balloon under August?" both of which lead to a quick detour to have a look to investigate before trying something else. All the time the player is looking for an answer the score keeps increasing and little bits of knowledge are being picked up and stored away. Eventually when an article that has the information is found the player gets an audible fanfare.</p>
<p>The game has sound effects and can be played with the mouse or the keyboard.</p>

<p><em>Sky Cat</em> is an action game with puzzle elements, where the player controls the space probe "Sky Cat" on the mission to find and rescue hostages on the alien enemy base. The probe breaks through the base, shooting the enemies with a laser in the way inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Thexder">Thexder</a> and solving the puzzles to overcome different obstacles toggling the electromagnet within its hull. Enemies are also shooting at the probe, trying to decrease its energy. The game is ended either with a successful mission accomplishment or with probe destruction.</p>

<p><em>Lekis 5</em> (Lekis is Kindergarten in Swedish) is an educational game for pre-school children. It contains five mini-games: * Arithmetic, where the player should properly answer the questions about addition or subtraction of the items;</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Assemble a picture, where the player should drag and drop three picture fragments in proper empty places of the picture;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Memory training, where the player should uncover pairs of same objects on 6x5 grid competing with a computer;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Memorize, where the player should take a look at the up to six objects, memorize them, and name one of them after the place of its location is shown;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Get a banana, where the player should get the banana by three or four apes forming a tower of Hanoi.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p><em>SnakeWinder</em> is an adaptation of <em>Snakes and Ladders</em> board game, where two players (human and AI) need to move the chip from a start of serpentine road to its finish. The task of the human is to reach the finish, the task of AI is to do not allow this. The road is a polygonal path with vertices of different kinds. Most of them are normal without any effect, but some of them are Ladders advancing the chip several steps further or Snakes throwing it several steps back. The players by turns choose the number of steps and move the chip by the road's vertices. Reaching the road's finish, the player is transferred to the next level. The game contains 10 levels with different backgrounds for the serpentine road, a limited number of steps to be selected from, and a highest score for each level.</p>
<p>There are two modes: for Child and for Adult. In "for Child" mode the steps selection is achieved through one of four ways: roulette, dices, digital ruler or shooting the balls. In "for Adult" mode the steps are simply typed in, but the AI's level is higher. The game may be saved in progress to restore it later.</p>

<p><em>Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book</em> is a point-and-click adaptation of the classical story <em>The Jungle Book</em>. This animated story book adventure features the Paintbox Pals - Sally, Jazz, Winston, and Nick - as it is a part of the <em>Story Painting Adventure</em> series which also includes the games <em>Around the World in 80 Days</em> and <em>Peter Pan</em>.</p>
<p>The player is presented with several situations and problems created by the story's antagonists or the environment. Help is always available thanks to the Paintbox Pals, the player's friends who watch over the story. The player can interact with the story's scenes via the Pals, which are four different animated artistic tools: a paint brush, a pencil, an eraser, and a paint sprayer. This results in solutions to the problems and features humorous dialogues and animations.</p>
<p>The Paintbox also features an hourglass character which is used for rewinding time, and a book character which is used for tasks such as loading, saving et cetera.</p>
<p>The educational aspect of the game is about improving the player's reading skills, broadening vocabulary, and encouraging decision-making and artistic expression. For example, the pencil can be used to draw things in a connect-the-dots style, or the paintbrush can be used to color objects to be different colors depending on the situation.</p>
<p>The player can experience the game many times in many ways - each pass is different depending on the player's choices of what to use when an obstacle occurs in the story. While the majority of the story remains the same during each pass, every one of the Pals provides different solutions at various times and only some of the Pals present a solution for a given situation.</p>

<p>1000 Miler is based on the french card games called Mille Bornes. Two players compete against each other to reach 1000 miles before the other. Each player gets seven cards, which can be miles cards for getting closer to your goal or positive or negative cards. Negative cards can be played to cause a flat tire for your opponent, letting him have a crash or other effects. The positive cards can be used to negate the effects of negative cards the opponent played on you. The winning player gets a little winning animation.</p>

<p>Magenta is an "algebraic spirit", somewhat cruelly condemned to roam the twisty passages of a 3D forest maze, until she can find the right numbers to factorize a cubic polynomial of the form x³-<em>a</em>x²+<em>b</em>x-<em>c</em> = (x-?)(x-?)(x-?). The three solutions must be found among the 9 numeric cubes scattered throughout the labyrinth, and placed on the three magic circles. To aid Magenta in her navigation, an overhead map is provided, and the circular focal points are connected by ley lines to the center of the maze (which is always the starting point). Our spectral, see-through student can only carry one number at a time; if it proves to be an incorrect factor, the circle will decline it, and another digit must be brought.</p>
<p>The puzzles are procedurally generated: on each new game the player inputs an alphanumeric "magic spell", which is used as a seed to determine the maze layout and the polynomial. Once the correct solution is found, the player is scored by the number of moves taken - the lower, the better. <em>Magenta's Maze</em> uses 4-color CGA graphics with spoken samples output through the PC speaker.</p>

<p>The protagonist in <em>Galactix</em> is a bipedal alien of the green, stalk-eyed variety. This being has just crash-landed on a planet and, to his considerable dismay, discovered that his spaceship won't power on again. Your task is to guide the distraught xenomorph past the dangers of this inhospitable world, locate the five items required to repair the ship, and hopefully make it back out of this hellhole (in one piece).</p>
<p>Your makeshift prison is a flip-screen maze of interconnected rooms, inhabited by hostile locals who stand ready to dissuade you from your quest in person - being shot (or even touched) by them will deplete your life energy, and they respawn even after death when a room is re-entered. Although <em>Galactix</em> is basically a platform action game, the controls are somewhat atypical: walking, shooting and jumping have their own keys, but inventory-related actions must be selected from a menu, as in an adventure game. These include picking up, dropping, examining, using, and eating/drinking items; the player can carry up to five objects at a time. Appropriately, a scrolling message area gives descriptive verbal reports of your actions and their results. As a visual clue for your overall progress, your score is displayed as a percentage on a bar.</p>

<p>The extraterrestrial hero of 1988's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Galactix">Galactix</a> returns for yet another adventure, this time at the behest of the King of Galaxia. His Alien Highness woke up one day and could not find his three magical orbs; the treasured artifacts have been stolen by bandits, and the agitated monarch immediately sends you on a mission to retrieve them. As before, your path will take you through a series of rooms populated by hostiles, which you'll have to dispatch with your phaser gun to get at the various objects that your quest demands. These are manipulated using a menu-based inventory system, after the style common in adventure games, which complements the basic platform/arcade action as it did in the first <em>Galactix</em>.</p>
<p>This time around the challenge is somewhat tougher: it is not enough to simply return the three orbs - your strict sovereign has also decreed that you must eliminate the thieving bandits from the land (along with the treacherous guards), and won't allow you back in the throne room until you've offed them all. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that they come back from the dead when you re-enter a previous room. Also, instead of the infinitely-recharging pistol from the previous game, your phaser has limited ammunition which must be replenished by finding additional bullets.</p>

<p>With the wave of his magic wand, Ernie the Magician makes a shape float over his head. Another wave, and a second shape appears on a table nearby. The player now decides whether or not the two shapes match. If so, and the player agrees, Ernie nods and the two shapes float together before disappearing. If not, Ernie shakes his head "no", waves his wand, and a new shape appears on the table.</p>
<p>Ernie's Magic Shapes has six levels of play. At the lower levels, the player compares one shape to another or the colors of two similar shapes. Levels four and five require greater visual discrimination since the target object is made up of several shapes and each one has to be matched individually. At the highest level, there is a complex mixture of both shapes and colors.</p>

<p>This is a very early demo version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/106/mechwarrior-2-31st-century-combat/">MechWarrior 2</a>, with numerous notable differences from the final product. The demo includes one mission where the player is tasked to destroy a single enemy Mech, and only two Mech types are available in the demo. According to the mission briefing, the player belongs to the Clan Smoke Jaguar, which is not a playable faction in the final game.</p>

<p><em>Heroes in Heroes</em> is a Chinese point-and-click adventure game based on the classic book <em>Water Margin</em>, set in the Song Dynasty, ancient China. The game's point-and-click control is very straight forward, you right click to switch actions (walk, talk, take/action) which are executed by left clicking. Hotspots in the game are not visible so that you need to observe and guess what to click on, while the surrounding environment doesn't contain many clickable items. The conversations and monologues in the game are written in a very ancient-Chinese style.</p>
<p>The game is divided into six independent episodes, but grouped together in a single game, similar to the structure of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=I+Have+no+Mouth+and+I+Have+to+Scream">I Have no Mouth and I Have to Scream</a>. In each episode you control a classic character from the book, experiencing six different stories, dealing with tough situations and making their own way out.</p>

<p><em>Poker Relay</em> is a multi-player solitaire (patience) game in which the player competes against 3 manga-style CPU players to play as many of their cards as possible while trying to block the other players from being able to play their cards. At the start of every game players are dealt 13 cards each from a single deck and the first player to start must either place a 7 of any suit on the board or put one of the cards they're holding facing down, which is taken out of play and will count towards the player's score at the end of the game. The next player then places either another 7 of any remaining suits on the board or must play the next highest or lowest card for the card that was previously played (for example, if the first card played was the 7 of spades then the next player must either have a 7 of hearts, diamonds or clubs or a 6 or 8 of spades). If the player doesn't have a playable card then they must decide which one of the cards they're holding to put down. The game concludes when each player has played or put down all of their cards, and each player's score is calculated at the end of the game according to the total face value of the cards they put down (for example, kings = 10, aces = 1, etc.). The player with the lowest score wins and that player is awarded points, while the other players lose points according to the total face value of their cards. If a player's points reach zero then they have to leave the game.</p>
<p>The game features a number of strategic elements that players can take advantage of. Before starting each game the player can choose which of the nine available opponents to play against (with the main difference between each opponent being the number of points they start with) and the player can also select a multiplier value that will substantially increase the number of points they receive if they win the game. The multiplier value adds an additional element of risk to the game because if the player loses they'll lose more points than normal, which could force them out of the game sooner. Once a game is underway, if a player holds a 7 of any suit this can be deliberately held back to force other players to try and play all of their cards from other suits first; this strategy needs to be applied carefully though because the player won't be able to play any of their own cards from the same suit until the 7 is played. Players can also use their other cards to stop opponents from playing higher or lower cards in the same suit (for example, if the player has the 9 of clubs then it will be impossible for other players to play the 10, jack, queen or king of clubs).</p>

<p><em>SPWW2</em> (which stands for <em>Steel Panthers World War II</em>) is an authorised stand-alone expansion for SSI's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2724/steel-panthers-ii-modern-battles/">Steel Panthers II</a>. It contains several hundred scenarios set mainly in the timeframe of the Second World War but also covering some battles of the interbellum period, as well as a number campaigns, either based on historical events or exploring alternate history scenarios.</p>
<p>Built on a vastly modified source code of the original <em>Steel Panthers II</em>, the game features numerous enhancements, including an expanded set of units and terrain types, increased limits for various in-game objects, improved AI and random scenario/campaign generator, and cheat countermeasures for play-by-email (PBEM) games. Additionally, <em>SPWW2</em> includes a scenario editor, campaign editor and unit editor allowing for maximum customisation of the game by the players.</p>

<p>You are up to the challenge of collecting precious diamonds. These are found in underground caves you have to dig into. In each cave you have to collect all, or at least a given amount of diamonds and reach the exit before the timer runs out. Sometimes there are less diamonds present than it would be needed, but there are ways to generate some. Boulders block your path and can crush you if they fall on your head, but they can be pushed away, and even used to your advantage in some situations. Other lifeforms are to be found in the caves, that are fatal to closely encounter with.</p>
<p>This game is a close clone of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a> with 16 color VGA graphics and the possibility of adding new levels. Formerly shareware, version 2.31 is now available to download freely, together with the level editor.</p>

<p><em>Boulder Star</em> is a game inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a> with 256 color VGA graphics. You are guiding a hosentroger (German pant-suspender) wearing figure, with the aim of getting diamonds and treasures out from a series of underground chambers. To achieve this, you are obliged to dig in the soil like a mole. Each chamber has an exit that opens when you collect a required amount of diamonds, you have to leave the chamber before the available time runs out. Boulders, teleporters, locked passageways, and hazardous creatures are to be dealt with. Sometimes there are TNT explosives and jackhammers are available to be used to your advantage. The shareware version contains 20 levels.</p>

<p>This is a demo version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/520/kknd-krush-kill-n-destroy/">KKND</a> that was published in 1997 on a number of gaming magazine cover disks. It includes two missions, one for each side, which are not featured in the retail game. Both missions allow the player to sample a considerable portion of the sides' tech trees and try out diverse units and tactics. Full motion video mission briefings and musical tracks are identical to those found in the retail version.</p>
<p>Each mission's sole objective is to build up a base, amass a force and completely destroy all enemy presence. The difficulty level is varied, as the Evolved mission is considered to be easy while the Survivors mission is more challenging. Saving and loading games is disabled in the demo. There is no multiplayer option either.</p>

<p><em>Fun School - Maths</em> is an educational title that aims to teach maths by playing games. </p>
<p>The first thing that strikes the player as odd is that the game loads as <em>Merlin’s Maths</em> and that it was produced in conjunction with the makers of Penguin biscuits – hence the number of penguins seen in the game.</p>
<p>The story behind the game is that Merlin is having an off day and the castle is under siege by Vikings. The game opens to an animated view of the castle with humorous activities going on all around it, there’s a penguin in a boat – fishing, ducks swim in the moat but get out and walk across the drawbridge and scrolling the scene sideways there Vikings throwing sheep onto their ship.</p>
<p>Merlin can be seen moving around inside the castle, move the mouse cursor over any of the windows or doorways and a text box appears showing that this is a link to one of the maths mini games. The games in this title are;* The Crystal Conference: The king and four knights sit round a table. Merlin appears and asks a series of questions such as “How many have been to Wales?” and “How many live more than four leagues from Camelot?”. The player clicks on each knight in turn to get an answer then selects a number from the options presented to answer Merlin. Get a whole set right and goblets of ale appear and do a little dance, get too many wrong and the Vikings come in through the window.</p>
<ul>
<li>Decisive Data: This tests the player’s grasp of graphical data. The player is shown a graph and is asked a question such as “How many castles has Gideon?”. Along the bottom of the chart are a list of knight’s names and above each is a stack of castle icons.</li>
<li>Perfect Potions: This is a series on mental arithmetic questions, simple sums with single digits. Every time a question is answered correctly Merlin’s wand gathers more magic, when he has enough Merlin casts a spell on a young lad standing in the centre of the screen in his shorts. The spells make his legs bigger, then his arms and finally his body, when he’s all muscled up a lady walks in and kisses him.</li>
<li>Magic Machine: More mental arithmetic but this time with two digit numbers</li>
<li>Weighty Weapons: The player is told what one unit of the following wood, iron, bronze and gold weighs. They are then shown a series of weapons each made from a different material together with the number of units of stuff they contain and are asked questions such as “Which is the heaviest?” or “How much does the shield weigh?”. At the end of the round there’s a little tune with a picture of a knight saying ‘Thank You’.</li>
<li>Broken Battlements: The door to the castle is open. Merlin conjures up some blocks and the player has to say how many are in each pile. With every question the Vikings can be seen rushing closer. If the player gets enough questions right the door is closed and we see the Vikings hopping up and down because they have been thwarted.</li>
</ul>
<p>The player enters each game by clicking on a window or a door and exits by pressing the ESC key, as they leave they are given their score and Merlin appears to pay them in gold coins.</p>
<p>The game has sound effects and optional music but no spoken instructions. It plays in EGA, VGA or MCGA modes and is entirely mouse controlled.</p>

<p><em>Christian Text Adventure #1</em>, true to its title, is a text adventure game based on religious themes. It was developed using the "Generic Adventure Game System" (GAGS) software. The protagonist finds himself in a large white room, a lightweight armor on his body but nothing else on his person. After getting out of the room, the player explores a futuristic building and a medieval castle, occasionally solving a simple puzzle to open secret passages. Allegorical monsters (such as the "snake of Deception" or "wolf of Unbelief") are found in some rooms, and must be killed with the appropriate spiritual weapon (such as the "rod of Truth" or "sword of Spirit"). </p>
<p>After dying or winning the game, your score, the number of rooms visited and the number of turns taken is displayed.</p>

<p><em>Skoczki</em> is a board game for two players. The goal requires blocking opponent's pawn. The pawns move in a way that resembles a chess horse on 8x8 board. The individual field can be occupied only once. The game also includes a tooltip that shows all possible moves. The game ends when one of the players has no free place to move on.</p>
<p>Control is done with the mouse or keyboard.</p>

<p><em>BabyType</em> is a multi-language educational game aimed at teaching fast touch typing skills. While its title suggests that the game it was created for younger audiences, adjustable difficulty levels and friendly design make it suitable for all ages.</p>
<p>The game is divided into levels that correspond to the number of keyboard characters that the player must type, with the lowest being three (two letters and the space bar). Each successive level adds two more characters, so level 3 is followed by level 5 etc. The player may freely choose the starting level of the game, which effectively defines gameplay difficulty.</p>
<p>Every level is divided into several progressively more difficult stages, all of which have the same structure, and the objective is always to type a randomly generated sequence of keys within a time limit. In each stage, the main character (a cute fuzzy creature of some sort) moves across the screen from left to right, followed by some kind of peril, like a monster, a crusher or disintegrating floor, moving at a constant speed. To escape this threat, the player must remove obstacles ahead of the protagonist, which are represented by blue blocks with keyboard characters on them. Pressing the matching key removes a block. Failure to type fast enough, or typing wrong keys, results in the character being reached by the monster/peril before they can escape. While there are no lives in the traditional video game sense, failing a stage adds to the mistakes meter that, once filled up, means the end of the game.</p>
<p>Stages within a level grow progressively more difficult as more different keys are used. The first stage will always be the two new keys plus the space bar, then their number will increase up to the current maximum, so the end stages of level 15 for example will include up to 15 different characters in the sequence that must be typed. Stage backgrounds and monsters are selected randomly and only have an aesthetic function.</p>
<p>The game awards points for each successful keystroke but also keeps track of mistakes the player makes when a key is pressed that does not match the current block. Once a game session is finished the high score table is displayed that tallies score, average typing speed (in strokes per minute) and the percentage of mistakes made during playing.</p>
<p>The game supports several different languages (English, Russian, German and French) as well as different keyboard layouts including UK, US and Swiss variants.</p>

<p><em>Titans of Steel</em> is a mecha combat game heavily inspired by an earlier title for the Commodore Amiga called <em>MechForce</em>, which was essentially a computer adaptation of the classic <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/battletech-universe">BattleTech</a> boardgame. <em>Titans of Steel</em> features similar gameplay mechanics, however it is neither directly based on nor related to the <em>BattleTech</em> franchise and instead establishes its own universe and story.</p>
<p>According to the plot of the game, it's the year 2066, and gladiatorial battles between giant mecha robots are the most popular entertainment across the globe. As this sport is exceedingly dangerous, future mecha pilots, or jocks as they are called, are mostly recruited from the ranks of prisoners with the promise of pardon should they succeed in this career and become famous fighters.</p>
<p>The player's goal is to assemble and manage a team of jocks, design and outfit the mecha robots they pilot, and engage in various battles. Accordingly, there are three separate game modules: HQ where the jock team is managed, Factory where mecha robots are built, and Battlefield where combat is played out on hexagonal grid maps. The game can be played either against other opponents in hot seat mode or the AI. Later releases also added multipayer over TCP/IP.</p>

<p><em>Locman I</em> is an arcade game, which applies an idea used in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19139/perestroika/">Perestroika</a> to an underwater adventure. The player is put in the flippers of the scuba diver on his hunt for the treasure of Atlantis after the deployment from a submarine. The goal of the game is to pass through all the underwater labyrinths, caves, wrecked ships and the ruins of ancient Atlantis, and to finally reach the magical island with a castle, where the new perils and adventures await. </p>
<p>On each fixed-screen level, the player directly controls the scuba diver, who should move between adjacent vertices of the path towards his goal. These vertices represent various objects, such as air bubbles, starfishes, fishes, shells, crabs, bottles, etc., which gradually grow smaller and eventually disappear, and new items appear to replace them. The player should not be in the place, when no such an item under him. But in case if it is happened, a one of additional air tanks becomes to be exhausted until the air is absent. Certain underwater predators may either chase the scuba diver or wait in the hiding place to attack unexpectedly. Air tanks and precious pearls can be collected on the levels to increase the score. Transition between the levels is possible, when the transition vertex is found on the current level, it is one of vertices adjacent to the screen border. Levels can have several such vertices. Certain important items such as underwater gun, key, or fuel for the boat should be found to advance in the game. Obtaining the gun, the scuba diver can shoot his enemies, but they will quickly re-spawn.</p>
<p>Highest scores are stored in top twelve table.</p>

<p><em>Ramonovo Kouzlo</em> is a point-and-click adventure game. The game's graphics are composed entirely from photographic backgrounds, with no animation. The game features descriptions of the items and characters, puzzles and very simple dialogue options for conversations.</p>
<p>The game is set in Nové Město nad Metují, where the evil wizard Ramon settled and enslaved good elves. The role of your nameless hero is to drive Ramon out of town and to save the elves from the curse.</p>

<p>You play as a retired Christmas elf, brought in at the last moment to help Santa to save Christmas... but first, you have to figure out what is wrong. Explore the North Pole and beyond, meet a few memorable Christmas characters, and save the day before Santa gets too drunk on fancy blended beverages. Gameplay is through a traditional sentence-parser with no graphics (other than some ASCII art) or sound.</p>

<p>This fast-paced 3D shooter is intended for VR headgear (although it can also be played without it).  Even under DOS, it offers specific support for 'period-correct' 1990s headsets (Forte VFX1) as well as more modern ones (Oculus Rift DK1), but any brand/model should theoretically work as long as it can render stereoscopic images side by side.  Using an abstract stripped-down graphical style, the action takes place in a cubical grid.  The player controls a yellow triangle who's being menaced by a squadron of squares; player and enemies alike can move through the playfield in six directions.</p>
<p>The pointy protagonist shoots backwards and forwards simultaneously, and your score rewards are higher if you can zap more bad guys with a single shot.  The enemies will unrelentingly chase you around the screen and do their best to hunt you down - and every few seconds their movement and spawning speeds are kicked up a notch, so your survival becomes a tougher proposition rather quickly.</p>

<p>The aliens have landed... crash-landed, in fact, and they're mighty pissed. Your mission is to investigate their wrecked ship on the other side of the river without being captured by the surviving visitors. For every move you make, the relatively-mindless aliens will make a move of their own in your general direction, in the manner of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/37061/daleks/">Daleks</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Robots">Robots</a>. To thwart your pursuers you're equipped with a limited number of landmines: laying down a mine wastes a turn, but provides an explosive surprise for your would-be abductor. There's also a randomly-placed crate containing some more mines for you to pick up.</p>
<p>The mission can be helped or hindered by the lay of the land - a handful of abandoned buildings, and the river itself. You can safely cross the stream; most of the aliens will avoid the water, but some can summon the courage to go for a swim - or even to dive, making their movements invisible.</p>

<p><em>2048x2048</em> is an implementation of that omnipresent puzzle game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/65080/2048/">2048</a>, squashed down to 2048 bits -- that is, 256 bytes of executable code. Being an exercise in sizecoding it is written in assembly language, and the source is included with the game.</p>
<p>As with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/614699/gabriele-cirulli/">Gabriele Cirulli</a>'s original, this is a sliding-block puzzle played on a 4x4 grid, with tiles numbered in powers of 2. The cursor keys will shift all tiles simultaneously in one of the four directions, which also causes a new tile to pop up in one of the unoccupied squares. Tiles with different values will block each other's movement; if two identical tiles are bumped into each other, the pair will fuse into a new tile with double the value. The goal is to keep joining these identical pairs into higher numbers, up to 2048 and beyond, before the grid fills up completely (which ends the game).</p>

<p>This medievally-themed platformer offers precious little in terms of a plot, but the premise is straightforward enough: a well-meaning (but apparently silly) knight finds himself lost in the bowels of a labyrinthine castle. From there he must find his way to the throne room, where he seeks to park his gallant posterior. Equipped only with a sword, the armored adventurer will encounter plenty of opposition along the way: bats, skeletons and evil red knights can be dispatched with a good beating; hurtling fireballs and other nasty traps have to be negotiated with careful acrobatics.</p>
<p>These hazards will all sap the player's health. There are no lives - progress can be saved by lighting fires at specific locations, which serve as respawn points in case of premature expiration. Along the way, the chivalrous protagonist can pick up helpful items ranging from keys and health bonuses to specialized power-ups. <em>Silly Knight</em> borrows code from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/57915/paku-paku/">Paku Paku</a> which enables low-resolution graphics in 16 colors, even on a plain old CGA card.</p>

<p>The hero in <em>Bloxinies</em> is none other than the extended-ASCII smiley face character - the one that holds the very first position in every self-respecting DOS codepage. This jovial figure is out on a hunt for gems, hidden throughout a series of puzzle-based rooms. The game borrows elements from both <a href="/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a>: to finish a level, all crystals must be picked up to unlock the exit door; boulders can be pushed around and rearranged at will.</p>
<p>The treasure chambers have a major infestation of big, nasty spiders, which instantly kill anyone who wanders next to them; no more friendly are the dart-shooting contraptions that zap anything in their line of sight. Naturally, some cunning is required to get past these hazards and grab the valuables.

<p><em>Dimono</em> is a puzzle game where the main objective is to fill all squares of a 8x8 board with game pieces ("stones") while scoring the maximum amount of points possible. Each piece is a rectangular shape with coloured sides that can be either yellow or red. While the player is free to choose the square where to place the first piece, all subsequent pieces must be placed next to each other, and only if their adjacent sides match in colour. This means that each piece placed on the board limits the possibilities for further placement. Points are awarded for each piece placed, with higher score for more difficult moves: difficulty is measured by the number of adjacent stones that need to be matched in colour.</p>
<p>Squares may contain icons that affect placed pieces in a number of ways, ranging from double the amount of points scored to disappearing pieces. Some squares may not allow pieces to be placed on them until a certain amount of points is achieved by the player.</p>
<p>The player is shown the next piece that will be available after the current one, allowing to plan the strategy of laying out the pieces. If the current position on the board does not allow for placement, up to three pieces may be "reserved" for future use in specially designated slots outside the main board.</p>
<p>The playing field may also be "scrolled" either vertically or horizontally: each column or row of squares is moved in the specified direction, opening up new possibilities for placing the pieces. However, using this option comes at the cost of reduced bonus points.</p>
<p>The game has several variants and rule sets. Additionally there is a sprite editor that allows the user to modify the background of the playing field and icons.</p>

Possible decisions include: (1) asking another player more intimate questions concerning, for example, the looks of their Mr. or Mrs. Right; (2) gambling part of the cash reserve; (3) advancing in a career that appeals to the other player; (4) buying upgrades in shops that range from clothing to plastic surgery to real estate. Each player also has a limited amount of "boomerangs", which allow them to skip answering a particularly difficult question. The contestant who first becomes a perfect match wins.</p>
<p>The entire game is presented as a TV show, complete with musical interludes, commercials and comments from viewers. Any of the four contestants can be played by human players taking turns.</p>

The player controls a ship sent to recover the stolen energy spheres that provide all energy for future humanity. On each level, the player must reach the sphere, pick it up with his attractor beam, and carry it out of the level. </p>
<p>The player's ship is subject to gravity and must be controlled by carefully firing off its thrusters to regulate the speed. The ship can be rotated freely to control the direction of thrust. Bumping into an obstacle destroys the ship and forces a restart of the level. Furthermore, the attractor beam only has a limited range and once the player has picked up the sphere, he must fly slowly enough to avoid leaving the sphere behind. Additionally the ship has a limited amount of fuel and once it runs out, the thrusters no longer work. Later levels have additional obstacles, such as enemies that can destroy the player, or doors that have to be opened by bumping the carried sphere into a button.</p>

<p>The demo version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/550/shadowcaster/">ShadowCaster</a> includes a short scenario that is not part of the retail version release. The player controls the protagonist Kirt, who at the start of the demo receives a cryptic objective to "restore the crown of [an obelisk's] brother-in-flames to establish [his] heritage". This involves travelling from one obelisk to another at the end of the demo in a mostly linear fashion through several differently themed areas (open, underwater, underground), showcasing a few of the game's monsters, traps and other mechanics. Three morphing forms are available that should help the player bypass the obstacles on their way. Saving and loading is not available in the demo.</p>

<p>In The Skateboard Kid, you are in control of a teen out on an adventure to save the city of Rehovot, Israel from the curse of an evil sorcerer.</p>

<p>One of a series of educational titles from Scetlander, 'Spellbound!' is quite unusual because it is an educational arcade shooter, and not a puzzle or an adventure game.</p>
<p>We play as Hal, who is the American cousin of Henrietta (from 'Hooray for Henrietta' and 'Henrietta's Book of Spells' fame). Henrietta asked us to help her in her dealing with Morgana the Morbid. That witch has given her magical wand to a twisted genius Professor Grime - a typical mad scientist - who has concealed it in his safe locked with five locks. Correspondingly, we are to find five keys on five levels: Underground, Underwater, Downtown, Alaska and Space Base.</p>
<p>The object of the game is to fly (or swim) a helicopter (or a submarine, or a space ship) through levels filled with obstacles and Professor Grime's henchmen: they shoot at us and we shoot at them, and after they die they leave us each a letter that we have to collect in specific order to spell a certain word (displayed as a task before the start of a level). The game features nice graphics and music, and even some voiceovers.</p>

<p>The game is one of a series of educational titles from Scetlander, dedicated to children under 5 years: with the help of Maggie the Loch Ness monster as the host, they are to learn how to match different objects together. </p>
<p>There are three major mini-game modes available: "Two of a Kind" (matching pictures, shapes, letters or numbers), "Odd One Out" (identifying the odd picture, shape, letter or number), "Forget-me-not" (pictures, shapes, letters or numbers are being 'flashed' on screen - after that the correct match has to be identified), as well as "Clock and Calendar" mode (which just displays the internal clock and calendar in either digital or analogue form).</p>

<p>'Hooray for Henrietta' is one of a series of educational titles from Scetlander, originally created by T.R. Tulloch and dedicated to teaching math in a fun way to children aged 5 to 12.</p>
<p>A girl named Henrietta is our protagonist: she is going to get married to her boyfriend guy with a suspicious name Hopeless Harry, but that mischievous bird, John the Parrot, has stolen Henry's coat, boots, hat and trousers, and even kidnapped the groom himself. In order to save the wedding, we have to help Henrietta to recover the four pieces of clothes and free Henry. We are doing that by solving math equations (the options provide a huge variety of complexity levels, as well of the possibility to choose between addition, subtraction, multiplication and division - or all of them) as quickly as possible - or the evil parrot will cover Henry in cold custard!</p>
<p>The game was later republished with 256 colors and sound, and then on CD-ROM.</p>

<p><em>Xmas Ducks 2000</em> is a Christmas-themed add-on for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/37036/ducks/">Ducks</a>.

<p>The add-on is free and compatible with all released versions of <em>Ducks</em>. Unregistered copies of the game only allow to play the first episode of the two.</p>

<p><em>Math Circus: Act 1</em> is an educational game for children that teaches maths. All of the game's activities are based around setting up and managing a circus with twelve puzzles and activities in total. Each one introduces a new concept based on logic or math with an adjustable difficulty level. Skills include spatial reasoning, perceiving patterns in size, order, or time, or manipulating variables to influence the tricks of the circus acts.</p>
<p>The twelve activities are: moving around balls around a grid of seals to make the balls match their stands, a timing exercise for a trapeze artist to cross one or multiple gaps, rescuing a magician from a witch and a monster with different attack patterns, a time exercise around reaching the circus in a determined amount of time taking into account traffic lights, shooting a ball into a bucket by adjusting the angle and the force of the gunpowder, math riddles based on combining multiple clues, a balancing act based on the position and number of different people on a bar, calculating ticket sales, measuring the medicine for elephants, spatial reasoning by determining the coordinates of a missing bolt in the scaffolding, influencing the movement patterns of clowns into a set position, and arranging lions based on different variables.</p>
<p>The game saves progress for the solved puzzles automatically. Up to 200 circuses can be started as new profiles.</p>

<p>In <em>Arex</em>, you play as a spaceship commander invading enemy territory. You goal is to cover as much ground of a grid as possible, while dispensing arrows behind you, and avoiding alien vessels. The player's ship can move in 4 cardinal directions. The player is unable to cross ground they have already covered, but the trail can be destroyed by alien creatures under specific circumstances. </p>
<p>Enemies encountered, include: Snarfs, Snuffers, Diagons, and Rippers. Snuffers move at right angles up or down, and can only be destroyed if trapped in a single space. Diagons are bird-like creatures which will move inexorably at a 45 degree angle, and can be destroyed by trapping between two parallel trails. Snarfs are defenseless creatures which will mutate into Snuffers or Diagons after an unpredictable time period has passed. The Ripper will follow your Arex's trail while stationary, and will only relent if the player keeps moving. Trying to cross the Ripper's trail will lead to the ship's destruction. </p>
<p>There are two play styles, dungeon and arena. Arena features a wide open field, where the goal is to maximize score by surviving as long as possible. Dungeon features a single screen with permanent walls which must be maneuvered around, while attempting to explore the entire environment. If the player explores 90% of the level, they will advance to the next stage. The player starts with 3 vessels, and if all are lost, then it's game over.</p>

<p>Quato is a word game played on a 5 x 5 grid that looks superficially similar to the board game Boggle but in practice does not play the same way. Each tile in the grid has a letter on it, and the player (single player only) attempts to spell as many words as possible within the given time limit of three minutes by sliding the tiles around the grid. Words are automatically recognized from the game's included dictionary of 80,000 words. The player's end score is computed based on the length of the words and the value of the letters used  to compose the words.</p>

<p>As might be guessed from the title, this game is a straightforward horse race simulation, for 2 to 10 players.  Horses are numbered 1 through 5, each with different odds, though they stay the same between races.  Players start with $200 each; when all bets have been placed, the race commences, showing the five contenders rushing for the finish line.  The lucky winners get their earnings according to the results, and it's on to the next race (up to 10 per game); any player who goes broke is dropped from the running.</p>

<p><em>MagiDuck</em> is a 2D scrolling platform game for the original IBM PC with a CGA card. It uses a tweaked 40x25 text mode to achieve a graphical resolution of 80x50 with 16 colours.</p>
<p>The protagonist is a little duck who tries to find out who attacked her family castle, while her family is away. She can jump and shoot fireballs, but not fly. On her way up the castle tower to the enemy, she has to overcome various obstacles and find the star, hidden in each level, to proceed. The enemies who stand in her way, can be defeated by shooting fireballs at them.</p>

<p><em>Rocket Duel</em> is a two-player game where the players control rockets and fly around the battlefield, trying to shoot each other. Each rocket has a limited amount of health and the player loses when his health is completely depleted. On higher difficulty levels, the rockets can be destroyed by running into various obstacles around the map. The rockets can land on walls and ceilings. On lower difficulty levels, the rockets land automatically when they touch the wall but on the highest level, they must be aligned properly or else they will crash. The maps contain various landscape features that complicate gameplay, including water and mud that can be swum in, bumpers that bounce the rockets away, and sheep that can carry rockets around. </p>
<p>Apart from regular one-on-one deathmatch maps, the game also contains "capture the flag" maps where each player must steal the opponent's flag and bring it to his base; on some levels there is only one, neutral flag with both players competing for it.</p>

<p><em>Les Ripoux</em> is a French comedy movie by Claude Zidi released in 1984 - it is a story of two corrupted Paris policemen who take kickbacks from the minor criminals, street traders and shop owners. Bertrand Brocard and his team at Cobra Soft / Hitech Productions created a game following that story - which turns to be a rather unique 'simulator of a corrupted policeman'.</p>
<p>The game mechanics is somewhat similar to the one in the 'Meurtres' series by the same authors: we walk the street of Paris meeting people and talking to them, but the gameplay is much more complex. It is worth mentioning that the game uses more than 25 keyboard keys for controls: we can arrest suspects, search them, check our position on the map, take a car ride, or a police car ride, or a subway ride etc. The main goal is to collect enough kickbacks to be able to realize the dream of the policeman in the movie - to retire and buy a PMU-bar near the horse racing place (and that's a lot of money, 2 millions of 'new' francs). Besides, we still have to do our police job as well, visiting the Police Commissioner each morning and following his orders, arresting the criminals etc.</p>

<p><em>Assault Trooper</em> is an isometric shooter game with tactical and stealth elements. The player controls a commando (no details are given on the government or organisation he belongs to) on clandestine solo assignments in various hot spots of the world. Missions include rescue, document retrieval, destruction of military targets, sabotage and assassinations. The ten available regions have five missions each that are gradually unlocked as more assignments are completed.</p>
<p>Before a mission, the player selects equipment, which is only limited by the maximum weight that the commando can carry. There are various firearms and explosives available, as well as portable medikits and armour vests. The loadout must thus be planned in accordance with the mission objectives. As the design of <em>Assault Trooper</em> puts a greater emphasis on tactical approach and stealth than on sheer action, simply using the most powerful weapon available is not a good approach to playing. The game documentation makes it clear that avoiding combat is often better than gung-ho tactics.</p>
<p><em>Assault Trooper</em> was initially released as shareware, with only two regions and ten missions available in the downloadable shareware version. The full registered version includes all 50 missions plus a mission builder and a sample custom level to demonstrate how the editor works.</p>

<p>The year is 2012. A mutant computer virus, originating in Rome, has suddenly begun to plague human beings. The virus cuts off vital neural links, sending all affected humans into a coma. You play a virtual surgeon who must cure the patients. For the virtual surgeon, the human mind is represented as a virtual city, modeled after ancient Rome. Inside this cityscape, you must operate quickly to rebuild damaged neural links, before the patients die.</p>
<p>The game begins in the virtual laboratory where you can navigate in realtime 3D and use several computer terminals and databases. You create a surgeon profile, then select a patient from a list and begin the procedure.</p>
<p>Upon doing so, you must navigate the virtual cityscape within the mind of the patient. (Thankfully, there's a map.) When an idea, represented as a huge light bulb roaming the streets, pops up, you must collect it by touching it. There are also enemies (spiders, dragonflys, snakes, etc.) that materialize and attack you. You can shoot them with Ankhs. The idea you caught must be fine-tuned in a special "Idea's Net" interface. In there, you must connect nodes until a wavering image is at its brightest, then adjust some numbers until it stops wavering and moving and is displayed clearly. Once this is completed, you must switch back to the cityscape window, and find and enter a specific building. Walk through the rooms and find the place on the wall where you need to put the painting. (You can also collect items from the buildings' cupboards, wardrobes and drawers.) When all ideas are materialized and put on the correct walls inside the buildings, the patient is cured and you are awarded with money and skill level progression.</p>

<p>Each cycle, players have the choice of buying and selling your chosen amounts of each stock ('OilCo', 'PowerCo', 'FoodCo', 'ChemCo', etc) and commodities (Wheat, Coffee, Beef, and Gold), along with the option of borrowing against them, where the limit is based on the player's net worth.</p>
<p>After the player is finished setting up their buys/sells and confirming to proceed to the next cycle, the market will update and show the change in each item, along with giving an option to see a trending bar chart of the last 20 market prices for a stock.</p>
<p>Occasionally, there will be 'World event' or market trend that a stock ticker displays (for example: "CABLECO LOSE $5M COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT SUIT", or "CHEMCO DEVELOPS STRONG, LIGHTWEIGHT PLASTIC AS STEEL SUBSTITUTE"), and which majorly affects the trend of a specific stock, while some other related stocks may also be slightly affected. Rarely there will also be hints and leaks about upcoming future market trends, true or not.</p>
<p>Once the player holds 1,000 shares of each company, and has a net worth of at least $100,000 for 3 consecutive market updates, the player becomes president of that subsidiary, and starts receiving a 2% salary each cycle for stock held in that company ... but if a stock ever becomes worthless, the player is fired.</p>
<p>The end goal of the game is to become president of all 10 stock companies, and also have a net worth of $250,000, after which the player is elected Chairman of the Board.</p>

<p>The brief backstory shown at the start of the game introduces the player character as the sole champion of the King who must venture into a world called Underdark to defeat the Dark Lords who plan an attack against mankind. The player can choose one of the three classes: warrior, rogue or mage, each with their own weaknesses and strengths. All characters use ranged attacks: the warrior throws axes similar to his <em>Gauntlet</em> counterpart, the mage uses fireballs and the rogue throwing knives. Some enemies can only be harmed by magic attacks and must be avoided if none are available.</p>
<p>The game is split into three chapters, with only the first being available in the shareware version. In turn, the first chapter contains three levels: the Catacombs, the Dark Mines and the Animal Trainer. The levels are divided into sub-levels somewhat similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1743/rogue/">Rogue</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/820/nethack/">Nethack</a>. Each sub-level is made of a set of rooms, with some locked at the start, and keys must be obtained to progress further. Apart from monsters, there are various helpful and harmful items that the player can pick up and use, ranging from healing herbs and poison to bombs that instantly kill all enemies on the screen or a magical hourglass that freezes all monsters.</p>

<p><em>Revolt of Don's Knights</em> is a first-person RPG with grid-based movement and real-time combat. It is set in a fictional medieval kingdom of Don, and the player controls a single male character, a noble knight sent on a secret mission by the king.</p>

The monarch tells him that the night before, six other knights led by the vile baron Raymond sacked the castle of the king's cousin, Sir Vilfred, and stole the secret plans of the royal castle. These plans are crucial for their revolt as they intend to unseat Albert.</p>
<p>The main character is thus asked by the monarch to infiltrate Raymond's castle and retrieve the plans before they are made use of by the rebels. There are only twelve days to complete this task. He successfully sneaks into the castle hidden in a barrel, and emerges in the cellar with only a dagger as his weapon, and no armour. From there, the player is in complete control of the protagonist's actions.</p>
<p>The game plays largely similar to other grid-based RPGs like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/834/dungeon-master/">Dungeon Master</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/835/eye-of-the-beholder/">Eye of the Beholder</a>, but with a somewhat greater emphasis on inventory item manipulation and puzzle-solving.

During hand-to-hand combat the game switches to a third-person view, while ranged weapons like crossbows are fired from the first-person perspective. Learning and using magic is also possible at some later point in the game.</p>
<p>The player has five attributes: strength, wisdom, courage, skill and magic. These are predefined and there is no stat rolling or character classes to choose from before the game starts. Additionally there are the hunger and thirst meters, which must be watched and replenished using food and drink found throughout the game.</p>

<p>Now we investigate a series of murders happening on the tiny island of Sark in the southwestern English Channel, off the coast of Normandy. We come here by boat at 11 o'clock in the morning - and we have only eight hours before the boat leaves.

There are 35 persons to interrogate, several murders to solve, and some great ancient treasure to be discovered.</p>

Only jurors whom are agreed upon by both the defense and prosecution are eligible, and different characters will have different likelihood of finding the client guilty or innocent.</p>
<p>In the next section, players progress to the actual trial. Here, players take turns calling witnesses to the the stand. One player plays the role of the lawyer, while the other player takes the role of the witness. The lawyers choose from a number of questions to ask. If the witness correctly answers the question, it pushes the jury away from the lawyer's argument, and if the witness is unable to answer a question, it pushes the jurors towards the lawyer's argument. If the prosecution is doing badly, they can take a chance to speak with the sheriff again.</p>
<p>Finally, at the end of the trial the jury gives a verdict, and the accused will either go free or end up behind bars.</p>

<p><em>Armchair Quarterback</em> is a shareware, single-player, text-based American Football game. Two versions of the game were available: version one was monochrome while version two had a colour option. Apart from that the two versions were virtually identical.</p>
<p>Version two starts by offering the player the choice between colour or monochrome and follows this by offering to show the game's instructions. After selecting two teams from the twenty-eight that are available ( full list supplied below ) there is a virtual coin toss and the game begins with the player controlling both teams.</p>

<p><em>Bataille pour Sirius</em> is a space based version of the popular game of <em>Battleships</em>. This game was probably given away as a magazine covermount game.

Supplies of the plasma and antimatter weapons are limited though they do slowly renew as the game progresses. The players use the arrow keys to move a targeting cursor around the screen, they then select the weapon they wish to fire and press enter. If the shot misses the cell is turned grey, if it hits an enemy ship then all affected cells in the vessel's silhouette turn mauve.</p>

<p><em>Battleship Bismarck: Operation Rhine - May 1941</em> is a turn-based, keyboard-controlled naval strategy game which simulates the battle between ships of the British Royal Navy under the command of admiral Sir <a href="/search/?q=John+Tovey">John Tovey</a> and the K. M. Bismarck and Prinz Eugen of the German Grand Fleet under the command of admiral <a href="/search/?q=Gunther+Lutjens">Gunther Lutjens</a>.</p>
<p>This is a turn-based game which can be played by either two players or by one player against the computer. In either game the players can control the German or British forces. The game was originally released in 1987 and re-released in 1989 with a new feature that allows the player to issue commands to the computer controlled ships. This is explained in detail in one of the screenshots but the idea was so that the player could play against a pre-defined strategy.</p>
<p>Operation Rhine was an operation of the German navy issued in 1941 in which the K. M. Bismarck and Prinz Eugen were to be deployed as raiders in the North Atlantic to disrupt merchant shipping and the convoys keeping Britain supplied. There are two modes of play:* The Tactical game which simulates the actual battle and which is the shorter game option. Victory is decided on a points system, based on ships hit amidships and/or ships sunk.  </p>
<p>After reading the mission briefing the player(s) select which side they are to play as and which ships they wish to use, the German player can use both ships or just one ship if they wish while the British player can select up to nine from the fifteen ships that are available, tactical battles can be 20, 60 or 80 turns in length.  </p>
<p>Playing as the Royal navy against the computer the game starts when the K. M. Bismarck and Prinz Eugen are sighted, the player is given their range and bearing and the game switches from the earlier setup/information screens to the battle screen. The battle screen is black with a white rectangle representing an area of sea around which are information and game controls. In the sea the ships are represented by letters showing their relative positions - the top of the screen is always north - bearing 000. Initially only a small number of Royal Navy ships have contact with the German vessels, if the player has any others in their fleet they must be given orders to change course and speed to approach the battle area.  </p>
<p>The players take turns issuing orders to their ships, the British player cycles through all the vessels in their fleet giving each ship one instruction per turn, so for example a ship can either change course and speed or fire its guns but not both. Once the British side has issued its orders the German side does the same. Some tasks will be impossible to complete, for example a ship cannot fire unless it is in range and even when in range it will not fire if it had not previously been ordered to train its guns on a specific vessel.  </p>
<p>The Strategic battle which takes place over a five to fifteen day period and which can last two hours. Victory for either side is determined by points scored in the game, since the German warships are loose in the Atlantic and can score by hitting and/or sinking merchant ships as well as warships the odds seem very much in their favour because the allies can only score by sinking the German ships or by sneaking a merchant ship past them.</p>
<ul>
<li>The Strategic Game. This is set in the North Atlantic and can be spread over five, ten or fifteen days. Victory is also based on a points system which seems to favour the German forces as they can score points for both hitting /sinking warships and merchant ships and getting safely home while the Royal Navy can only score by sinking the two German ships or by getting a merchant ship to a home port.  </li>
</ul>
<p>This version of the game is much larger and makes use of ports - each of which has an airfield, tankers for refuelling, submarines, weather conditions, aircraft carriers, air strikes and intelligence. The game is played over five, ten or fifteen days and before the Royal Navy can engage the Bismarck they must first find her. </p>
<p>The British forces are scattered across the North Atlantic. As fleet commander the player can issue course &amp; speed changes to any/all ships, call for an air search from any airfield (daylight hours only), and change the course and speed of any ship or convoy, additionally warships can be directed to patrol between two points.</p>

<p><em>Berenstain Bears' Learning Essentials</em> is an educational title which consists of three separate modules: Colors, Music and Puzzles. Each of the modules has a different look and feel giving the impression that they were developed separately and may have been released in their own right at some point.<em> </em>Colors*: this is a standard painting program in which the player is presented with a picture and then colours it one block at a time using colours from a fixed palette. The picture that is presented can be changed, the game also has save, load and print features and an alternate colour palette. Other features include creating a picture from a selection of backgrounds and stickers, adding word balloons, auto-colouring and animation. There are indications that 'Colors' may have been released by <a href="/search/?q=Britannica+Software+Ltd.">Brittanica Software</a> under the title <a href="/search/?q=Fun+with+Colors">Fun with Colors</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><em>Puzzles</em>: though this is a DOS game it has a hidden menu bar at the top of the screen from which the player selects their puzzle. There are ten puzzles to choose from, all featuring the Berenstain Bears, and each can be played in four levels of difficulty 8, 15, 40 or 60 pieces. The game then shows the player the picture before dividing the picture into the appropriate number of tiles which the player swaps around to reassemble. When the picture has been completed a little fanfare is played and the player may earn a place on the scoreboard - the fastest five times for each difficulty settings are recorded. This game has been released as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/51282/jigsaw/">Jigsaw!</a> but here it uses different Berenstain Bear pictures.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><em>Music</em>: this is an unusual puzzle game. The player chooses from one of ten short tunes, Ba-Ba-Black-Sheep; Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and their like, each of which has an associated picture all featuring the eponymous bears. The tune is played and then replayed with a black screen - this time it pauses a few notes in and the player must select the next note from the available options. When the right note is selected a portion of the picture is revealed. When the whole tune has been played and the whole picture has been revealed, there's a short congratulatory animation. The game has seven levels of difficulty and choice of ten 'instruments', there are indications that it may have been released by Brittanica Software under the title <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/173817/fun-with-music/">Fun with Music</a>.</p>

</ul>

<p><em>Girlfriend</em> is a single-player, keyboard-controlled, relationship simulator.</p>
<p>When it was sold it was advertised as "The World's First Artificially Intelligent Virtual Woman". The game boasts artificial intelligence, a vocabulary of over three thousand words and VGA video of 'a real woman'. A rolling demo was released to promote interest in the game. The product consisted of:* The Girlfriend Environment kit: all the following Personality kits need the Environment kit installed if they are to run.</p>
<ul>
<li>Girlfriend Lisa Personality Kit: this came free with the Environment kit.</li>
<li>Girlfriend Suzy Personality kit: this was only supplied if the purchaser included a signed statement saying they were over twenty-one.</li>
<li>Girlfriend Teri kit (PG-13)</li>
<li>Girlfriend Teri Personality kit: also requires a signed statement of age.</li>
</ul>
<p>All of the above were available in 1993.* <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/139261/girlfriend-tracy/">Girlfriend Tracy Personality Kit</a>: Tracy came along later in 1995.</p>
<p>Conversation with the women is limited. The developers are keen to point out that the virtual woman lives inside your computer and knows nothing about the outside world so conversations about clothing, her 'cute little body' or trying to initiate virtual physical interaction are OK but talking about football scores, Brexit or anything in the real world are out.</p>
<p>The women live in multiroom apartments so they can be asked to go from one room to another to change the mood, which by the way is indicated by a convenient thermometer. When asked she will change her clothing and pose. All pictures are full body until the girlfriend is in a room on a piece of furniture that has not been photographed so lying on the bed is probably in but sitting on top of the wardrobe is not and will result in a full face picture. There is no nudity in the basic package with Girlfriend Lisa so any situation which leads to her disrobing also results in a head shot. This is NOT the case with Girlfriend Teri and other adult add-ons.</p>
<p>Conversation has restrictions too and must be kept to short simple sentences as the girlfriend cannot handle anything with more than nine words. She does not understand idioms, the example included in the game documentation is quaint and appropriate, they say:* Don't say: "WHAT A BODACIOUS SET OF GAZONGAS!"</p>
<ul>
<li>Do say: "WHAT SIZE IS YOUR BRA?"</li>
</ul>
<p>As at version 1.5 (March 1993) all input and output was via text making this game something of an interactive novel, however the order form did refer to a Soundblaster module being in development.</p>

<p><em>Immoral Cumbat</em> is a first-person shooter in the manner of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/786/blake-stone-aliens-of-gold/">Blake Stone</a> and many others. In this game, which the documentation describes as <em>the world's first XXX 3D "virtual reality" game</em>, the player works their way through a 3D maze fighting giant penes, mammary glands and so forth using a penis which is manually stimulated to shoot gobs of juice.</p>
<p>As the player works through the maze they collect ammunition boxes which increase the size, range and power of their penis, they also collect coins which can be used in the game to view short animated sequences of simulated sex acts. To further reinforce its claim to be an X-rated game the walls are adorned with breasts, scantily clad bodies and many doors are made to look like vaginas. There are lots of toilets and urinals too.</p>
<p>The game has music and basic sound effects but no score. It is played with either the keyboard or the gamepad, action keys/buttons can be redefined, and is entirely in monochrome - apart from the death sequence which is in red and the psychedelic false colour view which operates for a short time when the player collects a magic mushroom.</p>

<p><em>Bible Builder</em> is a single-player educational quiz game which aims to promote an increased knowledge of the bible. It is a form of quiz with six difficulty settings.</p>
<p>In this game the game area takes the form of a book and the player's task is to reveal a 'Secret Bible Verse' by clicking on bookmarked pages and answering questions. Each question reveals a jigsaw piece on which there is a piece of the text, After gaining a new piece of text the player is asked to enter the book, chapter and verse where it can be found in the bible. Each game is timed, the time remaining is shown as a candle burning down. Answering a question, correctly or incorrectly, costs one hour while making an incorrect guess at the location of the secret verse also costs time.</p>
<p>The game has optional music in the form of hymns played on a synthesized old fashioned church organ and at least one of the questions is based on identifying a hymn while almost all the other questions are based on bible stories. Throughout the game there's a helpful angel on-screen to provide additional information.</p>

<p>Many years ago, the sorcerer Salorann, evil brother of the Royal Mage Ophiuchus, tried to take over the kingdom of Xanaria, then ruled by King Ethor III, by forming an alliance with Stolm, the King of Dragons. Ophiuchus had foreseen this event, and prepared a magical staff named the SerpentScepter to defeat Salorann. He was successful in vanquishing the Dark Sorcerer and his army of dragons after their nine-day attack on Castle Serpenthead, from where Ethor ruled the land, but could not bring himself to kill his brother, who promptly escaped. Afterwards, concerned that the great power of the Scepter might fall into the wrong hands, Ophiuchus disassembled it and hid its parts in the ruins of Castle IronGate.</p>
<p>During the reign of Ethor V, Cendric, the new Royal Mage, was able to foresee Salorann's return. He retrieved the parts of the SerpentScepter, and had just finished assembling the magical staff at Castle Serpenthead, when Salorann appeared and attacked him. The Scepter flew from Cendric's hands, but before the Dark Sorcerer could take hold of it, Cendric quickly cast a special spell to hide the staff in the castle. Enraged, Salorann murdered Cendric and the entire royal family.</p>
<p>Today, Salorann rules Xanaria, and its people live in fear. Many have ventured into Castle Serpenthead to retrieve the Scepter and defeat the sorcerer, but none have returned. While Salorann has cast a spell that prevents anyone from bringing weapons and shields into the castle, adventurers are free to enter it. Salorann hopes they will find the Scepter, after which he will kill them and steal the staff for himself. You are Sir Mharim, and your goal is to succeed where others have failed: find the SerpentScepter and defeat Salorann!</p>
<p><em>SerpentHead</em> is a first-person adventure game. As Sir Mharim, you must navigate the castle, retrieving objects and using them to solve puzzles and overcome diverse obstacles and traps.

The game is text-only, and came with a board and physical pieces to allow the player to keep track of the location of theirs and enemy units.</p>
<p>Each turn encompasses 1 week, and there are four separate scenario choices.

<p>This game was developed in the United Kingdom. It is based on the kind of three reel slot machine found in pubs and clubs at the time complete with features such as nudges, gamble a board game style bonus which is called 'The Bogeyman' from which the game takes its name.</p>
<p>The game installs with a typical fruit machine set of reels, grapes, oranges, cherries and so-on but there are alternate reels available. A companion program called 'The Gallery' installs with the game, this can be used to both view alternate reels and create new ones.</p>
<p>The shareware version of the game was made available on the UK BatCave BBS for download, it allowed five, time-limited spins before registration. It is mouse controlled and has basic sound effects.</p>

<p><em>Text Missile Command</em> is a single-player, freeware, <em>Missile Command</em> variant that uses Ascii characters in lieu of graphics.</p>
<p>As with other games of this type the player has base, three in this game, from which they must shoot down incoming missiles to protect their cities. With each wave missiles come thicker and faster until the player is eventually overwhelmed, their cities are destroyed and the game ends. A bonus multiplier is applied to the score of the faster levels to reflect their increasing difficulty. Every ten thousand points earns the player another city to protect, the more cities protected the higher the end of level score. Occasionally spaceships fly across the screen which can be shot down for extra points.</p>
<p>The game can be played using the keyboard or the mouse, it retains the highest score. There is no sound.</p>

<p><em>Vduvatel</em> is a Russian game known as <em>Вдуватель</em> that is a two-player, keyboard controlled <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> variant.</p>
<p>Player one controls their game with the J/K/L while player two uses the 4/5/6 keys, these perform left, right and rotate actions - there does not seem to be a key that moves the blocks down the screen quickly. The game has no help file or in-game instructions, the high scores are not preserved and the only sound is a kind of whistle when one player's stack of pieces reaches the top of the screen.</p>

<p><em>Tetcolor</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>-style game. </p>
<p>Although the game looks and plays like <em>Tetris</em> with the same kind of falling block shapes, it is not a <em>Tetris</em> game. In <em>Tetris</em> whole rows are removed when completed, here cells are removed when three or more cells of the same colour are aligned horizontally, vertically or diagonally.</p>
<p>The game plays on a single screen. It is controlled by the numeric keypad, 4 &amp; 6 move the blocks left and right while 5 &amp; 8 rotate them. There seems to be no key that alters the order of the coloured cells within the falling blocks nor is there a key that hastens their descent. The game has basic sound effects and a pre-populated high score table.</p>

<p><em>Sword Quest 1: The Search</em> is a single-player, keyboard controlled, fantasy role-playing game.</p>
<p>The player's role is that of court jester to the King of Ferd. An evil warlock has unleashed a horde of nasty creatures upon the land, dragons, griffin, goblins etc and you have been commissioned to venture forth and vanquish the aforementioned warlock, trouble is you start your quest without weapons or armour so best avoid and fighting until better equipped, armour &amp; weapons can be found in caves etc or bought in towns.</p>
<p>The game starts by creating a character, the game will assign skill points to the three categories of strength, skill and dexterity. The player can re-roll the dice as it were until they find a combination that they are happy with at which point they name their character and start the game.</p>
<p>All gameplay takes place on a single screen. In the upper right is a window showing the character in the landscape, below this and of equal size is the NGS logo. In the upper left is the rectangular dialogue box in which conversations are conducted and other in-game information is displayed. The mid left holds two smaller windows one shows the basic keyboard commands while the other shows the character statistics. In the lower left is the fight window, initially this shows the game's title but when the player starts moving around it shows the enemy that has just been encountered.</p>
<p>What this means is that the player moves their character around the landscape but has to watch the fight window to see if they've run into anything nasty and the dialogue window to see how many hit points they take from an opponent (or lose to said adversary).</p>
<p>There are some basic sound effects in the game but there is no auto-save.</p>

<p><em>Sword Quest 2: Tale of the Talisman</em> is a single-player, keyboard controlled, fantasy role-playing game and is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/144012/sword-quest-1-the-search/">Sword Quest 1: The Search</a>.</p>
<p>The player's role is still that of court jester to the King of Ferd, however after the adventures of the first game you've been promoted to knight. All is well, all is good until you are summoned to another world by 'The Wizards of Zrofdomel'. It seems that a baddie known as 'The Dragon Lord' has invaded Golbe - their world, imprisoned their army and unleashed a horde of nasty creatures upon the land, dragons, vampire bats, slimes etc. The wizards are too weak to fight so they've summoned you to free their world by killing the Dragon Lord and claiming his talisman, all of which you must do before they will send you home.</p>
<p>The wizards send you forth with food and money but crucially you are without armour and weapons so, once again, it's best avoid and fighting until better equipped and at least you have money to buy them with if you can make it to a town unscathed. The game starts by creating a character, the game will assign skill points to the three categories of strength, skill and dexterity and then gives the player thirty points to assign to these skills as they wish. </p>
<p>All gameplay takes place on a single screen. In the upper left is a window showing the character in the landscape, below this are two smaller windows one shows the basic keyboard commands while the other shows the character statistics. In the upper right is the fight window, this shows the current enemy and when not fighting it shows the game's title. Below this, mid-right, is the dialogue box and below that are small windows which show the current weapon, armour, shield and 'other items' being carried</p>
<p>As with the previous game this means is that the player moves their character around the landscape in one window but has to watch the fight window to see if they've run into anything nasty and the dialogue window to see how many hit points they take from an opponent (or lose to said adversary). There are some sound effects in the game and when the player dies they are revived by the wizards right back at the start of the game but some or all of their items are lost in the process.</p>

<p><em>Strip Poker de Luxe</em> is a single-player card game in which the player takes on one of three different AI characters. It plays entirely in Spanish.</p>
<p>There are three opponents, Nadia, Paula and Katty. Each of the AI characters has a basic picture which is shown along with a short description of which there are at least three for each character, for example Nadia descriptions translate as** "Nadia is a business student, charismatic, fun and ... very attractive. As a player she is daring and completely unpredictable, .. achieving her purposes systematically and without difficulty."</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>"Nadia is a sensual young woman, she is always in a good mood and radiates positive energy. His energy waste can exhaust the morale of the most tenacious player."</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>"Nadia has great ability managing to deceive her opponents whenever she wants. A practically perfect poker player."*
The game itself is a basic five card draw poker in which both the player and their opponent start out with the same amount of cash. After each hand there is a comment from the lady which is shown over the current picture. Should one of the ladies run out of cash they get some more and the player is rewarded with a new photograph eventually, if they are extremely lucky or skilled, ending up with a nude picture and a congratulatory message. Once a picture is revealed it remains the current picture until the game is over, should the lady win back most of her losses it does not revert to the earlier image.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The game is played entirely with the mouse, it has a save/load function and optional music but no voice or sound effects.</p>

<p><em>Pulsoid</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a>/<a href="/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a>-type game for one or two players that is inspired by (but is not an exact remake of) the earlier ZX Spectrum title <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/72176/pulsoids/">Pulsoids</a>. The objective is to clear each level of all blocks by indirectly guiding missiles into them, but instead of the typical ping-pong balls, the missiles in question take the form of snakes (apparently designed after the "Laserpulse" from the original <em>Pulsoids</em>).</p>
<p>Similar to the ZX Spectrum game, the snakes can grow larger or smaller if they break certain special blocks marked with the plus and minus signs, respectively. Apart from this, gameplay features are largely identical to other <em>Breakout</em> variants, including power-ups and power-downs that fall out of blocks and may be collected by the player's mobile platform. Additionally, various monsters occasionally appear on the playing field which may be destroyed by the snakes, the player's platform on contact, or by gunfire if the player has a weapon.</p>
<p><em>Pulsoid</em> has 32 levels with an option to load user levels (an editor is included with the game), and can be played either solo or by two players on the same screen. There is an optional "Arkanoid" mode that replaces snakes with the regular pong balls.</p>

<p><em>Big Bird's Special Delivery</em> is a pre-school computer game where the player can practise classification of objects.

The objects are controlled by pressing one of three keys on the computer keyboard to control Little Bird.</p>
<p>When a round of play is completed the shops will light up after the mail is correctly delivered. If there is a mail mix-up, the shop keepers gently point out mistakes and encourage the child to try again.</p>

<p><em>Lucky</em> is a two-player (one male and one female), keyboard controlled sex game.</p>
<p>This is at its heart a random number generator game. Both players enter their names and some basic parameters such as how nasty they want to get and how fast they want to get there. They then take turns entering a number after which the game generates a number and whoever is closest wins.</p>
<p>What the outcome is depends upon the stage of the game. The levels of the prize/forfeit start out with light kissing at the lower end, progressing through touching/rubbing/licking etc to light bondage, role playing scenarios and more. The forfeits are in three text files, one male file and one female file each with seventy-five instructions and one file containing fifty instructions for when there's a tie. These text files do contain spelling errors but, being text files, they can be amended to both remove the errors and/or alter some of the actions to suit personal preferences.</p>

<p>The player must travel to three different time zones from 100, 150, and 200 millions years ago to meet different dinosaurs. Each zone has 5 different geographic areas. When the player meets a dinosaur, they must properly feed them either vegetables or plants depending on their likes, and as a reward will receive a fact about the dinosaur for their report. After receiving five facts, the player can meet the final dinosaur who will provide the sixth and final fact, allowing Donnie's homework to be completed. </p>
<p>The player has a limited supply of fuel for their adventure, which reduces with all actions, and it's game over if the player runs out of fuel before completing their adventure. The player's ship can become damaged by encountering storms, fires, or volcanoes, which require time to repair. Some areas are empty when visited. If the player encounters a creature which is not a dinosaur, they can be rewarded with bonus fuel, plants, and meat.</p>

<p>This is an early demo/prototype of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23036/jurassic-war/">Jurassic War</a>. It is based on the same premise of commanding tribes of prehistoric humans in a fantasy setting where they coexist with dinosaurs, with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft</a>-like top-down view and interface controls. However, this version runs in low-resolution VGA 320x200 mode, and the in-game world has a hand-drawn look to it as opposed to the pre-rendered sprites of the final release (static menu screens are still pre-rendered).</p>
<p>Additionally, the playing mechanics in this version are even more leaning towards RPG elements than in the final release of <em>Jurassic War</em>: not only units gain experience and level up, the entire management of the player's settlement is completely non-typical for <em>Warcraft</em> style game. There is no direct control of buildings, instead, each unit has to individually enter a specific building to deposit resources or buy items, or even recruit a new tribe member.</p>
<p>There is only one resource, food, which is gathered by hunting wildlife that constantly spawns in the woods. Food is then collected by the player's tribesmen and can be deposited in the storehouses to add to the settlement's supply, or used by each unit to purchase weapons, shields and other items, or hire/train new units. Tribesmen can be equipped with a variety of weapons including clubs, maces, knives, swords, spears and even crossbows, with more powerful items being more expensive. Additionally, experience gained by a unit eventually translates into higher stats and even different appearance. Slain enemies from opposing tribes will drop items that may be used to equip the player's units, or sold in the weapons shop.</p>
<p>To augment "conventional" weapons, the tribes can use magic, with some being more apt at this than the others. Spells are purchased similar to weapons, and are used in the same way as in <em>Warcraft</em> games: the caster has a reserve of magical energy that is used up when casting spells, and then slowly recovers. The difference here is that any tribesman can become a spellcaster.</p>
<p>Insofar the demo scenario goes, the objective is to capture the enemy tribes' centre by getting your tribesmen near it.</p>

<p><em>Star Trek: Combat Arena</em> is a one- or two-player, keyboard controlled, space combat game. To play against an AI opponent the game must be started with a run-time command in the form "TREK x" where x is a number from 0 to 4. The AI opponent is always the left opponent when selecting a ship at the start of the game.</p>
<p>When the game starts each player selects a ship from the eight available: Romulan Warbird, Klingon Battlecruiser, Federation Heavy Cruiser, Andromedan Intruder, Kzinti, Hydran, Tholian and Orion, each with different strengths and weaknesses. It is possible for both players to select the same type of ship and there is also an option to have the game randomly assign a ship. If this option is taken the players will always have different vessels.</p>
<p>The game also has an optional planet which allows players to take cover, hitting the planet causes ship damage.</p>

<p><em>Stained Glass</em> is a single-player puzzle game based on colour combinations.</p>
<p>At the start of the game the player is presented with a x x x grid of coloured tiles, the object is to clear the board of all but one tile using some basic rules:* If two adjacent tiles are of the same colour then one tile can be moved onto another replacing it and leaving a blank cell.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If three adjacent tiles are of the same colour then tile one can jump over tile two to land on tile three leaving cells one and two empty (it works the same it tile three jumps to tile one).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If a primary colour (that's blue, red or yellow) jumps over a secondary colour (that's violet, orange or green) which contains the primary colour then the secondary coloured tile is reduced to a primary colour. Sounds complex but in practice it's easy If a red tile jumps over a violet tile then the violet tile turns blue because violet = red + blue.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The fourth and final move is sort of the reverse of the previous move in that it combines primary colours. Here if there are three dissimilar adjacent primary colours then tile one can jump to tile three leaving cells one and two empty and a secondary colour in cell three (again it works when cell three jumps to cell one too). So if cell one was red, cell two was red/blue/yellow and cell three was blue jumping tile one to cell three would result in two empty cells and a violet tile in cell three.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Secondary colours can jump in the same way jumping a secondary colour onto the right primary colour will produce a white tile because the result will combine all three primary colours. The following sentence comes from the documentation which shows the potential complexity of the game <br>
<em>The last four move elements can combine to provide complex results; if
you jump a red pane over an orange pane to land on a blue pane, the red pane disappears, the orange pane turns yellow (orange minus red) and the blue pane turns violet (blue plus red).</em><br>
Fortunately during the game available legal moves are highlighted which makes learning the game much easier.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Other gameplay points worthy of note, it is possible to jump into an empty cell; each move is independent so, for example, move two does not have to star where move one finished; diagonal jumps are allowed.</p>
<p>The game has save and undo features, a panic button and comprehensive documentation.</p>

<p>Thankfully, there's a high quality FUJI cassette tape in each zone, and armed with your trusty tape recorder, you can record beats scattered across the zones and use them as a weapon against enemies and bosses. Playing back beats creates a small area of effect and in order to do damage, you need to stay dangerously close to your enemies. Unlock the portal areas by finding a switch in each zone, then face the portal guardian by playing back the recorded beats and opening the portal once they're defeated.</p>
<p>Many dangers await you in your adventure across the zones. Enemies will drain your tape recorder so you'll need to collect batteries to replenish its power. The tape recorder is also vulnerable to fall damage but collecting repair tools will fix it from becoming permanently broken. You also only have a few minutes to finish each zone, so keep an eye out for clock power-ups to add 25 seconds to your timer.</p>

<p>It is a text parser adventure game augmented with illustrations, in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1322/the-pawn/">The Pawn</a> and the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/8378/the-spys-adventure-series/">Spy's Adventure series</a>. The game is very strict with some time constraints, and if you take one turn too many to figure out what to do, you might already be dead without knowing it yet. A walkthrough is basically indispensable.</p>

<p>An updated version of <a href="/search/?q=Santa+Paravia+and+Fiumaccio">Santa Paravia and Fiumaccio</a> that improved on the graphics of the original.</p>

<p>A complete rewrite of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Santa+Paravia+and+Fiumaccio">Santa Paravia and Fiumaccio</a>. This version attempts to retain much of the look and feel of the original, but makes numerous changes to the original too.</p>

<p>An unofficial version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/32306/international-bridge-contractors/">International Bridge Contractors</a>.</p>

On top of that, this version of the game has reduced the number of rooms and altered the solution to the game effectively giving the player a new adventure to solve.</p>

<p><em>Stormfighter</em> is a futuristic combat flight simulator that leans somewhat towards the arcade playing style. The game does not provide much background concerning the plot, but the player takes on the role of a fighter-bomber pilot participating in some kind of armed conflict that takes place in the future, possibly on Earth or an Earth-like planet. The full game has 40 missions with various objectives that usually involve destroying critical enemy installations and/or protecting friendly targets from attacks. During a mission, the player craft can land at friendly airbases to rearm, refuel and even get repairs. Upon completing a mission, the player's score is displayed with the amount of points depending on performance. More points are awarded for skilful use of the onboard gun while relying on more powerful weapons like missiles and bombs results in lower score.</p>
<p><em>Stormfighter</em> has a built-in encyclopedia that details all in-game objects, such as enemy ground forces and installations, with the most interesting (and coincidentally, the strongest enemy unit) being the "Elefank" -- a quadrupedal armed walker mech that was obviously inspired by Imperial AT-ATs from <em>Star Wars</em>.</p>

<p><em>Mission: Algebra</em> is a 1-player computer game designed to teach linear equations.</p>
<p>Your crippled sister ship is stranded, and you must find her. Determine the flight path of your sister ship by simplifying and solving linear equations.</p>

<p><em>Shaw's Nightmare II</em> is a freeware first-person shooter. It is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/70283/shaws-nightmare/">Shaw's Nightmare</a>. The game uses the Build engine again.</p>
<p>Shaw is a little boy that unwittingly entered an experiment, that would trap him in a nightmare. Now he is now in a strange world full of monsters. Finding weapons and items will help him escape the nightmare sans brain damage. The game consists of 32 levels. There is no multiplayer support.</p>

<p><em>Black Crown</em> is a hybrid of genres with strategy and RPG including action elements. It is played on a board closely resembling that of ludo (or, more exactly, the Spanish variant called 'parchís', due to the Spanish origin of the game itself). </p>
<p>It can be played by up to four players, each of whom chooses a city (faction). The factions resemble barbarians, knights, sorcerers and valkyries. Each faction has three characters (shown as tokens on the game board at the bottom-right part of the screen).</p>
<p>The upper part of the screen has a scrolling view that shows how the character is moving through the world as the token advances on the board. Unlike in ludo, when a character lands on a square occupied by another's player character, it does not capture it, but instead an arcade fight starts. The characters can also find different NPCs throughout the board, allowing for different interactions, as well as gather objects that can be used in particular situations.</p>

<p><em>Dot Valley</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a> clone.</p>
<p>The goal of the game is to collect all diamonds that are not embedded in earth (those with the black background). If all diamonds in a level have been collected, you can enter the next one.</p>
<p>Different opponents and traps are partially making this task more difficult. The almost omnipresent danger consists of dropping boulders, whose falling down you usually cause yourself. Therefore, the digging of mines beside or under boulders should be thought through well.</p>
<p>Alternatively to the collecting of diamonds these can also be destroyed in another way - but there are no points given for this. For example some monsters eat diamonds and just have to be led in the right direction to do so. Diamonds are also destroyed if they fall into a glowing stream of lava.</p>
<p>In some levels the supplies of diamonds must additionally be blocked. For this the diamond machines have to be destroyed or blocked.</p>

<p><em>Scavenger</em> is an originally shareware clone of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/lode-runner">Lode Runner</a> that was released as freeware and open source. The core game mechanics are the same as in <em>Lode Runner</em>: the player controls a character who must navigate a level that fits into a single fixed screen, and collect items while avoiding or trapping hostile characters that are pursuing the player. In addition to running, climbing ladders and jumping off them, it is possible to dig temporary holes in the ground to trap enemies or access certain items. Once all treasure on the level has been collected, a ladder appears leading to the next one.</p>
<p>The game comes with a tile editor and level editor, allowing to create custom content. In the original shareware release, the level editor did not allow to save any changes, and the number of levels was limited compared to the registered version.</p>

<p><em>Bouncy Bee Learns Words</em> is an educational game designed to help children ages 5 - 10 learn word recognition and improve reading skills through several activities and games featuring an animated bee:
1. <strong>Shopping for Words</strong>: This activity uses a store window to display pictures and words. The activity is designed to help children read and pronounce different words and also includes an option to help typing and spelling.
- <strong>Grandfather's Beehive</strong>: This activity is designed to help children practice left to right eye movement by using moving words on the screen. A target word is provided, and children need to press the spacebar when they see a matching word.
- <strong>Filling the Honeycomb</strong>: Filling the Honeycomb is a word matching, hand-eye coordination game. The goal of the game is to fill in empty spaces in a honeycomb by matching words to a target word. Various words appear in the empty spaces and the space can only be filled in when the correct word flashes in the space; as the game progresses the honeycomb becomes larger and has more empty spaces to fill.
- <strong>Antagram Word Game</strong>: Antagrams is a word recognition game. At the start of each round, marching ants are scattered randomly in a field; when the game begins they slowly move into formation spelling a word. The faster children can recognize the word before it's fully completed, the more points are earned.</p>
<p>In addition to the game program, the package includes an instruction manual with additional activities and stories for parents to read to or help their children.</p>

<p><em>4-4-2 Soccer</em> is a football game with real teams and players. It features friendly games, a world cup, league and KO competitions. Two players are supported through regular multiplayer and up to four players simultaneously through multitap.</p>

<p><em>Fotom Pak</em> is an official level pack for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/70283/shaws-nightmare/">Shaw's Nightmare</a>. It adds an additional episode to the original four.</p>

<p><em>N.B.A.</em> is a sports simulation that allows the player to replay individual games or entire basketball seasons, from the past or present, while keeping a permanent record the team's stats using the built in Stat Compiler. In this simulation, the player can re-live the excitement of the famous NBA teams from the 1960's through the the 80's.</p>
<p>The game features 20 "all-time great" teams (as of 1987). Game play features 5 on 5 games across three game modes, 1 on 1, 1 vs CPU, and CPU vs CPU. The stat compiler was fairly robust for the time period and tracks steals, blocked shots, assist, rebounds, field goal percentage, foul shot percentage, and time played. The game has managerial aspects to it in that you choose your offensive or defensive play, and then let the computer determine the play.</p>

<p>In <em>JumpStart Kindergarten</em> the player guided by the teacher Mr. Hopsalot (as well as the class hamster Bebop and mouse Roquefort) in the schoolhouse to play a number of educational activities inside an interactive classroom. The activities include reading, word recognition, seasons and events, sorting, patterns, art, time and day and counting. There are also some songs included.</p>

<p><em>Hunchback 2</em> (also known as <em>Rampart Revenge: Rampart Rampage 2</em>) is a sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/59721/hunchback-96/">Hunchback 96</a>, which is turn is a loose remake of Ocean Software's game <em>Hunchback</em>. As such, <em>Hunchback 2</em> may be thought of as a remake/successor to the official sequel, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/23032/hunchback-ii-quasimodos-revenge/">Hunchback II: Quasimodo's Revenge</a>.</p>
<p>The game mechanics and visuals are the same as in the original <em>Hunchback 96</em>. The player controls an unarmed character (depicted as a hunchback in the original releases, and subsequently replaced with a masked protagonist in blue clothes and a feather hat, the same as in the <em>Rampart Rampage</em> version) who must traverse levels from left to right, dodging projectiles and overcoming other obstacles such as fire pits. Each hit by a projectile removes one life and restarts the level. All these elements mirror the gameplay of Ocean Software's <em>Hunchback</em>, but the levels are generally more intricate and detailed, with each level taking up more than one screen. This allows to crank up difficulty as the player is at first unaware of the obstacles lying ahead, and is sometimes forced to make leaps of faith into the unknown, possibly risking collision with hazards if the timing is wrong.</p>
<p>The official game page gives the player character's name as Igor and mentions that his goal is to rescue Lucretia (likely a love interest). However the game itself never explains the background story and just plunges the player into action.</p>

<p><em>Learning to Add and Subtract</em> is a math game for multiple systems.</p>
<p>Contains three educational games:* Learning to add - Practicing sums up to 9 with pictures</p>
<ul>
<li>Learning to Subtract - Practicing differences with numbers up to 9</li>

</ul>

<p><em>Depth Charge</em> is a one button ascii game where you must destroy as many submarines as possible by dropping depth charges.</p>
<p>From the in-game instructions:
Object of the game is to drop depth charges from the destroyer at the top of the screen, and hit the submarines scattered below.</p>
<p>The destroyer is above the waterline and moves toward the left. When it passes off the left side of the screen, it reappears on the right. The '2' at the top right tells what pass your on. The other number, where the '35' is,
is your current score.</p>
<p>There are 4 subs. While you move left, they move right, except one of them, which is always stationary. </p>
<p>You drop a depth charge by pressing the 'down arrow' key. You can only drop 4 depth charges at a time. That is, if 4 of them are currently floating down, you have to wait for one of them to hit a sub or reach the bottom of the screen before you will be able to drop another - so it's important to plan your drops carefully.</p>
<p>Scoring - the deeper the sub, the more points you get when you hit it. You get double points if you get a direct hit on the conning tower.</p>
<p>When a sub is hit, it will reappear at some random location. Sometimes subs overlap - this gives you a chance to hit two with one charge.</p>
<p>You get four passes across the screen with your destroyer. On the last pass, a '[' will appear at the upper left to alert you. If you manage to accumulate at least 200 points before the destroyer reaches the '[', the '[' will disappear and you will get a bonus pass. You may earn additional bonus passes, but it gets harder and harder. Whenever you fall behind the points needed for an additional pass, the '[' will reappear.</p>
<p>The game is programmed in BASICA and uses ascii text mode instead of graphics, with smooth explosion animations using just ascii characters.</p>

<p><em>Robomath</em> is a multiplication arcade game for multiple systems.</p>
<p>The player controls a horizontally moving paddle on the bottom of the screen, and attempts to hit a rapidly bouncing ball. A number of Trashbots come pouring out of the factory above. The player tries to hit balls into the pockets on the side of the play field to destroy the Trashbot factory and move on to the next level. If the large wall in the center is struck, more Trashbots come pouring out of the factory. Trashbots drop trash in the playing field when produced, which the ball will bounce off of. A Roboman will regularly appear on the screen and package trash, which allows it to be destroyed, and also drops off question boxes. If the player strikes a question mark, they must answer a multiplication question, where a correct answer helps remove trash from the play field. To win the game, the player must destroy all 16 trash factories.</p>
<p>There are different levels of multiplication and gameplay difficulty. If the player drops too many balls, it's game over.</p>

<p><em>2FAST4YOU: Das superheisse Bi-Fi Race</em> is a promotional arcade racing game for one or two players that advertises the BiFi meat snack brand to the German audience. The game features fictional cars and arcade mechanics like the use of powerups, like in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6590/super-mario-kart/">Super Mario Kart</a> and similar games (e.g. <a href="/search/?q=Whacky+Wheels">Whacky Wheels</a>).</p>
<p>There are three single-player game modes: competitive racing, timed racing, and the Super Cup. In the first mode, the player needs to win several consecutive races against computer opponents. There are various powerups scattered along the tracks which can give a certain advantage to the player that uses them, as well as BiFi snacks that can be collected, and oil patches that will send any car that drives over them spinning uncontrollably for a while.</p>
<p>The timed race mode has no opponent and requires to complete laps in shortest possible time, while the Super Cup is the same but was a part of a real-life competition: the players could send their score to BiFi, and the five best results would win prizes, including a trip to London.</p>
<p>The two-player races run in split-screen mode. It is possible to race against each other alongside computer opponents, or have a duel between human players on a large, non-linear track.</p>
<p>Like many other promotional games in Germany, <em>2FAST4YOU</em> was sold (albeit at a much lower price than true commercial games), but a free demo was published on magazine coverdisks and software collections.</p>

<p><em>Fruitbank</em> is a single player, shareware slot machine game. </p>
<p>This game does not emulate a specific machine, rather it is a generic machine similar to those found in UK pubs and clubs from the mid/late 70's onwards. It is a simple three reel machine with lots of features - nudge up/down; super-nudge; spin-a-win; stop-a-reel; cash pot; and gamble.</p>
<p>The registered version of the game has a boss-key and a reel creator/editor.</p>

<p><em>SRAM</em> is the name of a planet that is at the extreme edge of the universe and it is the setting for this French text adventure with pictures.</p>
<p>The story is a familiar one. Cinomeh, the high priest of Sram, has seized power and the royal family has been imprisoned. The people are oppressed but the only resistance comes from 'The Hermit' who combines his powers with the witch Edulac. Together they search for a hero and they found you, the player. During a month of incantations and spells they transferred you from Earth to Sram, atom by atom, and now it's time for action. Can the player free the royal family and restore order?</p>
<p>The game uses the standard abbreviated commands for movement but as it is in French these are N/S/E/O for North/South/East/Ouest-West. The game has built in help and the parser supports conjugated sentences.</p>

<p><em>SRAM 2</em> is a single player, French, text adventure with pictures. </p>
<p>In the previous game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/151015/sram/">SRAM</a> the player rescued the royal family after they had been imprisoned by the high priest. It seems that the time in the dungeons affected Ergres the king and, under the mind controlling influence of the aforementioned high priest, he's become a tyrant. Time for another hero/heroine to arise and dispose of him. However the game is clear, his family know nothing of his actions so Egres is the only one to be killed. The game starts in a crypt which holds four tombs and no apparent way in or out.</p>
<p>The screen is divided into sections of which the largest part is the picture. Above the picture is the title of the scene so the player knows where they are, To the right of the title is a compass showing which directions the player can move and to the left of the title is the game clock, the game's introductory screens do say that time is important - just not how and why.
On the far right is an inventory panel and along the bottom of the screen are the command and response panels. </p>
<p>The game uses the arrow keys for movement. Movement commands can be used but, unlike the previous game, these can no longer be abbreviated - for example while the game recognises Nord as an instruction to move northwards it does not recognise N as an abbreviation for the same command.</p>

<p><em>PC Foreplay</em> is a very simple, single player, mouse controlled, adult, game with no sound.</p>
<p>In this game the player has to stroke Sharon, a lightly dressed model, with their mouse pointer. If done correctly then her mood, indicated by a rising thermometer, improves and she removes bits of what little clothing she is wearing. If done incorrectly her mood changes and the player must start again from the beginning.</p>
<p>The game uses the keyboard to scroll down through the text box and the mouse to interact with Sharon.</p>

<p><em>Sokoban 1994</em> is a single player, shareware, keyboard controlled puzzle game where the player has to push crates onto predetermined locations. Once each crate is on a marked spot, the level is completed. Crates can only be pushed one at a time and can't be pulled so manoeuvring crates without blocking yourself in is the most difficult part of the game.</p>
<p>Though <a href="/search/?q=Jim+Radcliffe">Jim Radcliffe</a>, developer of <a href="/search/?q=Sokoball">Sokoball</a>, developed the program behind this game but all the puzzles were taken from the public domain. The shareware version is completely free and has over forty timed puzzles however it will not save player created puzzles - this feature is reserved for the registered version.</p>
<p>The game does have sound but this is limited to the ticking of the countdown timer.</p>

<p><em>Shell Game</em> is a simple single player version of the old street corner gambling game.</p>
<p>On screen are three half shells and under one is a ball. The shells are swapped around and when the swapping stops the player has to guess where the ball is. As the game progresses the shuffles become more and more complex. For every correct guess the player moves up a level, for every incorrect guess they move down a level.</p>

<p><em>Rock Tris</em> is a single player Tetris clone. </p>
<p>This game is keyboard controlled and the only thing that differentiates it from most other clones is that the pieces 'fall' sideways right to left. Other than that blocks from one edge of the screen and the player stacks them up at the opposite end. When the player completes a line of block parts that line disappears, when the blocks stack up from the base to the source the game ends.</p>

<p><em>Rock Invaders</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled, <em>Space Invader</em> clone. </p>
<p>This game plays in a very narrow letter-box type screen meaning there is only room for three rows of invaders and they start very close to the player's bases. Movement is controlled by the left/right arrow keys and the ENTER key fires the player's canon.</p>

<p><em>Rock Man</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled, <em>Pac Man</em> clone. </p>
<p>This game plays in a very narrow letter-box type screen but aside from that the game plays as expected. <br>

However for a short period after chomping a power-up pill the ghosts ate vulnerable and can be chased.</p>

<p><em>Rock Out</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled, <em>Breakout</em> clone. </p>
<p>This game plays in a very narrow letter-box type screen in which the paddle is on the right of the screen and the blocks are on the left, but aside the game plays as expected. The player controls the paddle with the up/down arrow keys and launches the ball by pressing ENTER</p>

<p><em>Rock Games</em> is a compilation of four single player, keyboard controlled variants of popular games arcade-style games.

<p><em>Maximum War: The Battle Continues</em> is an add-on disc with 1650 unofficial extra levels for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness</a>.</p>

<p><em>RAD</em> is a French, single player, block moving puzzle game.</p>
<p>It seems that radioactive casks have been lost in the underground rooms of a survival shelter and a criminal organisation P.L.A.G.U..E is somehow involved. The player has been called in to resolve the situation but radioactivity levels are too high to permit entry to these rooms so everything must be done by remote control using RAD.  </p>
<p>RAD is a robot which is under the player's control, and it is used to solve a series of puzzles in which the objective is to move one or more radioactive canisters into a safe containment area- usually a hole at the bottom of the screen. There are over forty puzzles to solve. Each puzzle is timed, has limited resources and is a discrete level with its own unique code word so that the player can restart at a designated level. The codes for the first seven levels are included in the game's documentation.  </p>
<p>RAD is controlled either by the keyboard or the mouse. Along the bottom of the screen are buttons that will make RAD move left/right, ascend/descend, push an object, bridge a gap or plant a bomb. Each button can be 'pressed' with a mouse click or by pressing the associated key on the keyboard.</p>

<p><em>Professional Yamb</em> is a one or two player, mouse controlled dice game</p>
<p>At first glance Yamb seems very similar to Yahtzee but there are major differences in the way the game is scored. </p>
<p>The player rolls six dice and has three rolls with which to get a favourable score on five of them. After each roll they can select the dice they wish to keep and reroll the remainder. The score area is divided into three areas, Upper, Middle and Lower;* The Upper section: As with Yahtzee this is the section where the player scores for the most ones, twos, threes fours fives and sixes they can get in a roll. If a player scores sixty or above in this section then they are awarded an additional thirty points</p>
<ul>
<li>The Middle section. This consists of two entries, Maximum and Minimum. The player enters scores in each of these boxes and is scores the difference between the two multiplied by the number of ones scored in the Upper section</li>
<li>The Lower section. This is the poker dice section and the player enters scores for;<ul>
<li>Kenta, also known as a straight, which is five consecutive dice</li>
<li>Full, aka Full House, which is three of one number and two of another for which the player scores the sum of their dice plus thirty bonus poits. This cannot be five identical dice</li>
<li>Kare, aka Poker. This four of a kind and the player scores the sum of their dice plus forty bonus points</li>
<li>Yamb which is five identical dice which scores the player the sum of their dice plus fifty points</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Unlike Yahtzee where the player can enter their score in any available cell on the score-sheet Yamb is played in an ordered way  </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The first pass through the score-sheet starts in the upper section with the player trying to roll as many ones as possible, then as many number twos as possible concluding in an attempt to roll a yamb.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The second pass is more like Yahtzee and the player can put their score anywhere in the column</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The third pass is the reverse of the first in that the player starts by trying to roll a yamb and finishes by trying to roll as many ones as possible</p>

<p>Aside from the graphics one notable difference compared to the <em>Bomberman</em> series is the behavior of the bombs, as they will destroy all destructible tiles within their range (i.e. if the bomb has a range of three fields, then the explosion will not stop after the first destroyed block, but destroy all destructible blocks (and extras) three fields to the left, right, top and bottom).</p>

<p><em>Twork</em> is a side-scrolling action platform game in a setting that combines sci-fi and fantasy elements. The eponymous character is a young mage, the last of his kind. A long time ago, there were many mages in the planetary system where Twork lives, but one apprentice mage developed megalomania, killed his master and tried to take over the universe with his army of monsters. However, the other mages united and captured the rebel red mage, banishing him and his underlings to a distant unexplored planet.</p>
<p>Many years later, the Red Mage found his way out of imprisonment, and since there were no more mages left to stop him by then (for reasons not elaborated upon in the story), he took over the entire system. Now, only Twork can stop the villain and his numerous minions.</p>
<p>The game has all typical elements of the genre: you run, jump, climb ledges and vines, collect useful items, avoid hazards and fight monsters. Additionally, the character can duck and crawl, which is sometimes required to get past certain obstacles or reach secret areas. Twork can launch magic projectiles from his staff, which has a standard fast attack and a more powerful alternate fire mode that needs to be charged up and uses more energy.</p>
<p>The game was marketed as shareware and for this reason was split into several episodes with different themes and monsters, each representing a planet in the star system. Every episode would end with a boss battle against the Red Mage's underlings, and finally against him as the end-game boss. Only one planet is available in the shareware version. The number of prospective episodes varied from ten in an early beta version to four in later releases.</p>

<p><em>Sokoball of Osaka: A Game Of Forethought And Strategic Design</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a> variant with an enhanced ruleset. While pushing the boxes still remains the main playing mechanic, the objective is to clear the board by dropping every box down an "exit shaft". The game adds many obstacles and hazards that the player must be aware of, such as single-use touchplates that may lower or raise fences on certain tiles, holes in the floor where both boxes and the player character itself may drop, and sliding tiles that disappear after being walked on, making entire sections of the board slide in a certain direction (depending on where the player stepped off from such a tile), thus reconfiguring the playing field on the go. Additionally, certain tiles only allow movement in one direction (indicated by an arrow). All these elements make the puzzles notably more complex compared to the standard <em>Sokoban</em> rules.</p>
<p>The player's alter ego on the board is a yellow ball (likely unrelated to Pac-Man), which explains the "ball" part in the game title. There is no story whatsoever behind what is going on in the game, making <em>Sokoball</em> a rather abstract puzzle. The game has neither a time limit nor a move counter, and the included puzzles may be played in any order. However, most mistakes made by the player will likely result in an unwinnable situation, forcing to restart the level. The demo mode shows a sample puzzle being solved so that players may familiarise themselves with the rules.</p>
<p><em>Sokoball</em> was distributed as shareware, with the registered users getting access to all features of the built-in level editor. The unregistered shareware version allows to create and save user levels, but these can only contain traditional <em>Sokoban</em> elements: boxes, walls, pits and exit shafts.</p>

In an 8×8 grid, the player and computer take turns to drop tokens of their color into one of the columns. Tokens drop the bottom-most row that is still vacant.

<p><em>Connect 4</em> is an implementation of the board game <em>Connect Four</em>, in which players take turns at dropping tokens into a grid, with the goal of creating a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of four tokens of their color. The grid is seven columns wide by six rows deep. After choosing the next row to drop a token into, it always drops to the bottom row that is not yet occupied.</p>
<p>The game is played by one player against a computer opponent, the difficulty of which can be scaled by limiting how much real-world time it is allowed to spend on calculating its moves. Playing on a faster CPU increases the opponent's strength, as does increasing its time allowance. Statistics about the computation time spent are displayed in a sidebar, and finished rounds can be printed out. It's also possible to customize the colors of the game display.</p>

<p><em>Business Simulator</em> (also called <em>Venture's Business Simulator</em>) is a simulation of the business world. It was designed by professors at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business and was supposedly used by over 10,000 Fortune 500 executives. </p>

Playing through five levels of increasing difficulty in a changing economy the player competes with companies like Tandy, Apple, and Texas Instruments to become the best with the 'game over' objective being to achieve $1bn in sales.</p>

<p><em>Baccarat</em> is an implementation of the Baccarat card betting game, in the Mini-Baccarat version. Players take no influence on the progression of the hands in this game, they merely bet on the outcomes. Bets can be placed on a win for the Player's hand, the Banker's hand, or a tie. Bets on two or three of these positions can be combined for one hand. A scorecard shows the outcomes of each hand, and the dealt cards are displayed on the screen.</p>
<p>Apart from adjusting bets manually, the game also offers automated betting systems, such as Martingale or D'Alembert. Once a system is selected, players can continue to normally progress through the hands and see their bets adjust automatically according to the system, or they can enable the Auto Play feature to run a given number of hands in a row. This also works when no betting system is activated, in which case the bets stay the same for all rounds.</p>

An aeroplane makes repeated passes across the top of the screen at varying heights and the player must press the spacebar to release a bomb which then falls and clears some of the numbers and/or symbols. More than one bomb can be released in each pass but only one bomb can be in flight at a time.</p>
<p>The object is to clear all the symbols and thus progress to the next level. At the start of a game there are lots of symbols on the screen but as the game progresses gaps develop and it becomes progressively harder to score and easier to miss. After seven misses the game ends.</p>
<p>The game has simple sound effects which are optional and plays with CGA, EGA or VGA graphics</p>

<p><em>Bugworld</em> is a single player, freeware, keyboard controlled game that plays a bit like Pac Man with shooty bits.</p>
<p>The plot isn't the best advert for the <em>KD Games</em>, apparently the player has just bought one of their games and now finds their computer is infested with bugs so they head off to an island to kill them. Both the bugs and the player's character are represented by squares and naturally the bugs live in a multi level maze that is viewed top down in 2D. Around the maze are traps, ammunition, health and other power-ups together with coloured keys to unlock doors.
The player can shoot the bugs but they cannot aim their weapon which will always shoot in the direction they last moved - so if they are running away from a big bad bug towards a wall and fire the weapon they will shoot the wall and not the bug behind them.</p>
<p>The game has sound effects, music, a high score table and offers the option to save on exit.</p>

<p>The game is the work of a single developer and is written in Borland C++. As with the board game the object is to deduce a sequence of four colours by making a series of guesses. For each guess the game will show a black circle if the guess contains a correctly coloured peg in the correct position and a white circle if the correct colour is present but in the wrong position.</p>
<p>The game also allows the player to vary the colours used, the number of guesses allowed, and the time taken.</p>

<p><em>Color Balls</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled <em>tetris</em> variant.</p>
<p>As with most Tetris-like games when the player aligns tiles of the same colour they disappear, however in this variant the player only need align three balls of the same colour to achieve this. Also unlike most Tetris games the tiles are rounds when a column lands on top of previous tiles it does not just stand there, the balls roll away making stack building impossible.</p>

<p><em>Cosmic Ambush</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Space+Invaders">Space Invaders</a> like game for one or two players. It uses pre-rendered graphics for most game objects and level backgrounds. The objective is to shoot down advancing alien aircraft, which, in addition to the classic square formation, may attack in waves or swarm around the player. Accordingly, the player's ship does not only move horizontally, but in all directions, although you always fire towards the top of the screen (some projectiles may travel diagonally).</p>
<p>There are several types of aliens, each yielding a different score when shot down. Enemies may drop various powerups, including an extra life, shield and weapon upgrades. The player also has a limited supply of smart bombs that can instantly clear the screen of all aliens at once when activated.</p>
<p>The player's craft can withstand more than one hit from enemy fire or collisions with alien ships, but the shields slowly wear down. Although ammo is unlimited, constantly firing the main weapon will make it overheat and stop operating.</p>
<p>In the two-player mode, players take turns at beating the game. Once player one loses a life, it's the second player's turn to start the game. If player two is shot down, player one continues from where they left off etc.</p>
<p>The game was developed and released as freeware. There are 31 levels.</p>

<p><em>Core Wars</em> is a programming game in which two or more programs run in a simulated environment with each program trying to eliminate all the others by expanding into 'core space' and overwriting them.

<p><em>Microlink Crux</em> is a two player game which can be played as a single player game against the machine. The game gets its name from the crosses the players have to place on the board. These crosses are composed of four coloured bars, they may all be different colours or two, three or even all four may be the same colour. The object of the game is to place crosses onto the 7x7 game area such that all touching bars are of the same colour. The more difficult the match the higher the point score for placing that piece. </p>
<p>The game is played over three rounds with each player taking turns in attempting to complete the grid. The rounds get progressively harder with just three colours being used in round one, four colours in round two and five in the final round. Scores are given at the end of each round but it is the final cumulative score that wins the game.</p>
<p>The game is keyboard controlled, it keeps a record of the player's wins and losses and it has a screensaver mode if left inactive for too long.</p>

<p><em>The Jungle Book</em> is an action game where the visuals resemble the 1967 Disney movie adaptation of the same name, in turn based on the book by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/566173/rudyard-kipling/">Rudyard Kipling</a>.</p>
<p>The player controls Mowgli in different fixed-screen scenes linked together. He needs to pick up objects and use them to attack animals. The game is presented as the screen of a movie theatre.

<p><em>Dark Wolf</em> is a single player, shareware, keyboard controlled platform game.</p>
<p>The story behind the game is told in the first dozen or so screens, one phrase at a time. The opening text reads <em>Where the twin rivers meet at the edge of the known world Terinar is at the brink of war. The Silver Moon &amp; White Fire are in conflict. The king and his inner circle, seem to be the only ones capable of stopping the inevitable war. At the king's palace ..."</em><br>
At this point the player is summoned to meet the king who, in a similar style, sends the player to the Silver Moon at Rysada as a diplomat so, after selecting one of the three difficulty settings, off you go.</p>
<p>The game is a 2D, side scrolling platform game in which the arrow keys control movement and A/S/X/Z select and use items and spells. </p>

<p><em>Digging for Buried Treasure</em> is a single player, mouse controlled game in which the player has to discover treasure, uncover it and then identify it.</p>
<p>The game area is divided into four windows;* Top Window: This is yellow and runs the whole length of the screen and it contains a short piece of text describing the tool or function that the mouse is hovering over</p>
<ul>
<li>Bottom Window: This is blue and like the top window it runs right across the screen presenting random clues about the piece of treasure being sought</li>
<li>Right Window: This contains the treasure hunting tools which range from a brush to TNT and six functions General Help; Treasure Map; Revel &amp; Guess; Play Again; Toggle Sound On/Off and Library</li>
<li>Left/Main Window: This shows a picture, sometimes a photograph sometimes a painting. These images are not searched for clues, rather the player uses the tools to remove parts of the image to reveal what is beneath rather like a scratch card.</li>
</ul>
<p>The player uses the tools to attack the main image hopefully finding the treasure beneath, the brush being the most delicate removing just the tiniest amount while the TNT removes a decent square. Once the image is wholly or partly revealed, though in practice this is not necessary, the player moves on to the 'Revel &amp; Guess' function where they are shown the complete item and then asked to select it from a line-up of three pictures.</p>

<p><em>Dragonfly</em> is a single player, keyboard controlled game, believed to be freeware.</p>
<p>The player controls a small green helicopter that starts in the middle of the screen. The background 'beneath' the helicopter is blue signifying water and on that water red hydrofoils zip about. The objective is to destroy the boats without being shot down.</p>

<p><em>LadyLove</em>  is a single player, <em>Qix</em> style game. It is entirely keyboard controlled</p>
<p>At the start of the game the player is presented with a menu showing six pictures of ladies. Using the arrow keys the player selects one and is then shown a screen containing a black silhouette. Using the arrow keys the player can move a cursor around the frame of the picture and by simultaneously holding down the SHIFT key they are able to enter the picture and cut off sections which the reveal part of the underlying photograph. However floating around the image are enemies such as flies, a sun a spider and so on. If these touch the line the player is drawing then that line is erased and the player loses one of their five lives. The puzzles have a countdown timer and a life will also be lost if the player takes too long to complete it.<br>
The greater the area claimed per move the higher the score. When 80% of the image is uncovered the the game takes over and reveals the remainder.</p>

<p><em>Dia Bolo</em> is a sequel to Dongleware's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a> clone <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bolo">Bolo</a>. It follows the same gameplay principles as its predecessor but adds a little story to the formula: a small devil has found his way into the player's computer and started counterfeiting paintings. It's up to the player to drive him out of the computer by playing this block-destroying game and thereby destroying the counterfeit paintings.</p>
<p>Gameplay differs from the usual <em>Arkanoid</em> clones by allowing the paddle to be moved across the entire screen and having holes inside the board the ball can slip into, rather than having the bottom side of the screen be the deadzone. The game features 50 levels, each with its own little quirks, like different levels of gravity and special tiles that can't be harmed by the ball but must be touched by the paddle instead.</p>

<p><em>A Bloody Life</em> is a short piece of interactive fiction set in a hospital, sorry an institute, specifically the Richard Aloysius Thompson Honoris Institute of Oncology, Molecular Gastro-Enterology, Genetic Pathology and lots more.</p>

<p><em>Enigma</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a>/<a href="/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a> variant with a few innovative features that make it stand out from the rest of the bunch.</p>
<p>First, while the objective of each level is still to break all blocks on the playing field while taking care to not lose the ball, <em>Enigma</em> complicates this by introducing large numbers of various hazards and hostile creatures/things that rain down from the top of the screen or fall out of destroyed blocks. Contact with these "nasties" (as the game readme puts it) will visibly damage and ultimately destroy the paddle if the player is not careful enough. However, these monsters may be shot down if the player has acquired a gun or missile powerup. Sometimes a block will explode into a shower of debris that are also harmful to the player's paddle.</p>
<p>The second unique feature is the introduction of "warp holes" that randomly appear on the playing field. Any object that gets into the hole, including the ball, will temporarily disappear and then reappear in another random location, adding to the challenge.</p>
<p>Finally, <em>Enigma</em> includes five sub-games, which are activated when the corresponding pick-up is obtained. The game then switches to one of five mini-games. Fist, the player is taken to the "betting screen" that randomly cycles through possible awards that will be given if the player wins the mini-game, like extra lives; and possible losses should the game be lost, including points being subtracted from the player's current score. The player is encouraged to choose the best award/least loss combination. Then brief instructions are shown for the current mini-game. Once it ends the game switches back to the level where the mini-game pickup was acquired.</p>
<p><em>Enigma</em> was originally marketed as shareware, with the unregistered version allowing to play only 10 levels and two mini-game types, out of 160 levels and five mini-game types in the full game. Registered users would receive activation code to convert the shareware demo to the full version.</p>

<p><em>Wings over Italy</em> is a historical combat airplane simulation game that was created with Domark/Simis' <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19208/flight-sim-toolkit/">Flight Sim Toolkit</a>. The game covers the period in the history of Italy during World War II from the signing of the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943 to the end of the war in May 1945.</p>
<p>The player can fly missions for both the National Republican Air Force of the Italian Social Republic and the U.S. Army Air Forces. These include interception of enemy bombers or escort of friendly aircraft in a fighter plane, and attacking enemy ground targets with a bomber plane. Since the Flight Sim Toolkit only provided the binary/engine for actual flight simulations, the author included a custom DOS-based GUI launcher that allows to select missions, as well as view the supplied electronic documentation.</p>

<p><em>Cyberbox II</em> is a follow-up to the original <a href="/search/?q=">CyberBox</a> by the same author. The game is still centred around the premise of pushing blocks similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1715/soko-ban/">Soko-Ban</a>, but levels are no more confined to a single screen as in <em>CyberBox</em>, and the goal is to collect all gems in a level before reaching the exit. As such, each level comprises of several smaller puzzles which the player needs to solve to obtain each gem and unlock he exit. Because any wrong move will likely make the level unpassable, there is now a save game feature so that the player does not have to restart the entire level if stuck.</p>
<p>All elements from the original <em>CyberBox</em> remain: blockers are solid walls which may not be pushed or walked through; sliders are boxes which may move either horizontally, vertically or in either direction, as indicated by arrows and their colour; pushers will move in the direction of their arrow as long as the path is unobstructed; and selectors are blocks which may only be pushed by another block, but not directly by the player. <em>Cyberbox II</em> also introduces new objects like walls that the player may walk through (sometimes only in one direction), or slippery ice floors that send the player sliding until an obstacle is reached.</p>
<p>The game comes with three level sets, arranged by difficulty level, with the easiest one also offering tutorial messages. Additionally, there is support for user-made levels, which can be created with any text editor. <em>Cyberbox II</em> is distributed as shareware: the whole game may be freely copied but the user may register for a small donation, granting the right to tech support, the entire source code and copies of other games by the same author.</p>

<p>Brain Bang is a puzzle game in which the player is tasked with arranging moving pieces of different shapes and colors into specific patterns by pushing them off a conveyor belt with the help of a number of 'pushers' placed alongside it. On some levels, the player can also control the direction of the conveyor belts. </p>
<p>The levels are timed but the player can take as long as needed to complete them.</p>

<p><em>Mission Pom-Bär</em> is a promotional side-scrolling platform game featuring the eponymous Pom-Bär (Pom-Bear in English speaking countries), the mascot of a popular German snack brand. Rendered in colourful hand-drawn style with CD Audio music, the game invites players to join Pom-Bär in his adventures to recover stolen snacks. As the story goes, the protagonist was enjoying a sunny day on the beach with his favourite food when a wicked sorcerer called Larvos seized all the treats as soon as Pom-Bär dozed off in the sun. Now the hero must set forth to recover what is rightfully his.</p>
<p>The game offers all typical elements of the platforming genre: to get Pom-Bär to the level exit, he must be carefully maneuvered through obstacles and hazards, collecting keys and bonus items along the way, and shooting enemies. The hero has two attacks: red orbs fly in a straight line, while blue ones are launched in a parabolic arc, which is useful for disposing of enemies that are outside of the direct line of sight. Pom-Bär has a health bar that will rather rapidly decrease upon contact with hazards, and a number of lives that can be spent to retry a level. Health may be replenished by picking up bear-shaped items that represent the snack itself.</p>
<p><em>Mission Pom-Bär</em> was sold on CD-ROM for a small price, with the packaging explicitly allowing to make and distribute copies thereof, similar to other German advergames like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2fast4you-das-superheisse-bi-fi-race">2FAST4YOU</a>. For this purpose, there is a special installer on the CD that can be copied to three 3.5" floppy disks. The only difference from the CD version is that these floppy copies do not have the CGI animated sequences or the CD Audio music. The game includes support for multiple languages that are selectable from the options menu, including German, English, French, Czech, Polish, Dutch, Slovak, Slovenian and Hungarian.</p>

<p><em>Alibaba</em> is a game in the style of <a href="/search/?q=Prince+of+Persia">Prince of Persia</a>. It is said to be the first videogame developed in Iran. It is based on the fairy tale of <em>Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves</em>.</p>

<p>The titular Little Willy goes on a rescue mission find his kidnapped sister and mother from the hands of aliens. The gameplay is very similar to Apogee's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/953/crystal-caves/">Crystal Caves</a> including the platforming, the levels accessed from a main hub and a rocket pistol as a choice of weapon. Each level requires the player to find the exit card and any required keys to finish the level, while acquiring juice boxes and lollipops as well as avoiding traps and hazards.</p>

<p><em>Hostile Takeover</em> is a turn-based strategy game for one or two players in a fantasy setting that bears many similarities to Steve Fawkner's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/warlords">Warlords</a>. The world map is generated randomly for every new game session and has two opposing sides, alongside many neutral castles. Each player starts with one castle, which generates income and can produce various unit types, and must explore the map (which is initially hidden, unlike the first <em>Warlords</em> game), capture neutral castles and build up an army with the ultimate goal of defeating the opponent.</p>
<p>The game is controlled entirely with the keyboard: the arrow keys are used to scroll the map, and the numeric keypad moves the selection cursor for units and structures. Commands are issued via keyboard shortcuts. There are no heroes and no units stacks, unlike <em>Warlords</em>, so each unit is moved individually only. Otherwise the game rules are fairly similar to <em>Warlords</em>: castles may be upgraded to improve defence (but not garrisoned with units), and stronger units not only cost more but also take more turns to produce. Players pay upkeep each turn for every active unit in their army, so a careful balance must be maintained between income from castles, production costs and the costs of keeping existing units. Apart from castles, there are no special places in the game world, and no roads, but other terrain types vary by the amount of movement points that a unit spends by traversing them.</p>
<p><em>Hostile Takeover</em> was marketed as shareware. While the unregistered version contains no limitations, the users were encouraged to register their copy, with an option to get the improved <em>Hostile Takeover 2</em> (for double the price of simple registration), which offered more unit types, larger map size, better AI, improved unit control and other features.</p>

<p><em>TecnoballZ</em> is an <a href="/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a>/<a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> variant with several extra features. Immediately noticeable are the four pockets in the corners of the playing field, which will temporary hold any ball that gets in the corner before releasing it in a random direction. This also increases the player's score.</p>
<p>Some of the bricks release bonuses which, if collected by the player's paddle(s), add to the player's gold supply. This may be then spent in a shop between levels on various powerups that range from weapons, sticky paddle and ball power upgrades to extra lives, extra balls and even extra paddles that move vertically on the sides of the field, and one at the top, all mirroring the movement of the original horizontal paddle. Similar to many other games of the genre, various creatures appear on the playing field and then move around in random patterns. These are harmless to both the balls and the paddles, but they act as obstacles for the balls. Usually such entity can withstand several hits from a ball before being destroyed. Additionally, every five levels there is a special stage with a boss battle.</p>
<p>The game includes 50 regular levels and 11 special levels.</p>

<p><em>Topspeed 300</em> is an arcade-style racing game that resembles <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2177/the-need-for-speed/">The Need for Speed</a> and has fully texture-mapped 3D environments and objects. The player controls the car via keyboard or joystick and can switch between cockpit view and several external cameras.</p>
<p>There are three different fictional cars to choose from, and four different tracks. Only single races against one AI opponent are available, the opponent's car can be also selected by the player prior to the race.</p>
<p>Author Andreas Pollak created <em>Topspeed 300</em> as a project to test his custom 3D engine. The game is distributed as freeware and is available in the English and German languages.</p>

<p><em>Brixor</em> is a fast-playing brick-breaking game with SVGA graphics. The player controls a paddle that can move horizontally at the bottom of the screen, to direct a ball that bounces around the playing field and destroys any bricks/tiles that it hits. Unlike many other similar games, here every brick will release a round item called a bowl when destroyed, which will then bounce in the same way as the ball (but without breaking any further bricks) before eventually falling down and leaving the playing field. The player needs to shoot (not catch) these bowls to be able to sell them later in a shop between levels. Credits earned by breaking bricks and shooting down bowls can be spent in the same shop to purchase weapons and other useful powerups.</p>
<p>Another novelty is that the paddle slowly wears down from hits by the ball, the falling bowls, and from the use of powerups (like shooting guns). So unlike other brick-breaking games, the player is generally advised to avoid all items that fall from broken bricks, or shoot them if possible. The paddle's energy may be restored between levels, which also costs credits. There is an option to turn off powerup purchasing altogether, in this case the only objective of each level is to break all bricks, with no powerups or items to be collected during play.</p>
<p><em>Brixor</em> was sold as shareware, with 15 levels available in the unregistered version. The full game has 150 levels and a level editor.</p>

<p><em>Berlin 1955</em> is a combat flight simulator that explores a hypothetical alternate history scenario where the Soviet Union attacks West Germany in 1955, and NATO forces mobilize to repel the invasion. As an F-86 Sabre pilot, the player is given various assignments that range from attacks on enemy ground and air targets to providing cover for friendly bombers, escort and formation flying missions.</p>
<p>The game was created with Domark Software's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19208/flight-sim-toolkit/">Flight Sim Toolkit</a> and sold as shareware. The full version has ten missions, with only three available in the unregistered shareware version.</p>

<p><em>Bert Higgins: The Man From H.E.L.L.</em> is a top-down shooter that may be described as similar to <a href="/search/?q=Alien+Breed">Alien Breed</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5607/project-paradise/">Project Paradise</a>, but featuring many weapons, items and a generally high degree of interactivity with the environment.</p>
<p>According to the background story of the game, things are not going all that well in 2025. Everything changed back in 2009, when Earth started receiving alien transmissions that contained valuable information about high-end technologies. Although whoever sent these signals never showed up, this contact alone was enough to produce worldwide panic followed by a global crisis. As the old governments collapsed, a new world power emerged in the form of a mega-corporation called Future Developments Incorporated that utilised this alien knowledge to various ends. Among other things, FDI created sophisticated cyborgs to maintain order - the so-called Bio-Electronic Robotic Technology, or B.E.R.T. However, those who had not embraced alien technologies united under the banner of EDEN, a group that calls for global re-armament and opposes FDI in order to purify the planet of extraterrestrial influence.</p>
<p>The player controls Bert Higgins, a cyborg created by FDI, on various missions. The game is not all about shooting and encourages to explore the environment and carefully approach enemies as opposed to simply running around with guns ablaze. Many objects in the levels may be damaged or destroyed, and many are interactive: for example, you can open a drawer or a fridge, sometimes to find a useful item inside. Colour-coded keycards that should be familiar to anyone since <a href="/search/?q=Doom">Doom</a> are also prominently featured as a staple of level progression.</p>
<p>There is a lengthy tutorial split into several sub-levels that walk through the basics of game play, culminating with a small training mission where Bert needs to escape from a guarded facility. The actual missions spread over three campaigns with non-linear progression, nearly 30 weapons and over 20 different enemy types.</p>
<p><em>Bert Higgins</em> was originally sold as shareware, with the demo including only the first two levels from the registered game. In 2011, one of the developers made the full version available as a free download.</p>

<p><em>Robomaze</em> is a top-down maze exploration and shooter game, and the first in the <a href="/search/?q=Robomaze+trilogy">Robomaze trilogy</a>.</p>
<p>The player has to navigate a robot through a maze moving from room to room, collecting bullets and rockets, shooting other robots to survive as well as shooting walls to pass through parts of the maze. There are 3 weapons, which are standard bullets, rockets and a laser. Each weapon requires their own ammunition, additional ammunition will be dropped by enemies when they die or sometimes hidden inside walls. The rooms have all sorts of different walls, blue walls ricochet the bullets, some walls require rockets to be shot. Some rooms have two teleport chambers, enter one to emerge from the other, this can be used to get past unbreakable walls. All enemies as well as the damage to walls is reset every time the player re-enters a room. Presumably the ultimate goal is to find an exit to the maze.</p>
<p>The game features tank-like controls, meaning press left and right (J and L keys) to rotate, and press I to activate the engine or K to stop the engine, i.e. move forward or stand still. Press space to shoot and press return key to switch to the next weapon. Each time the player is hit a life is lost, lose all lives and it's game over, however there are effectively infinite continues. Continuing the game will reset and respawn all enemies, but the passages the player has shot through the wall as well as the player position are not reset.</p>

<p><em>FX racer</em> is a true 3D car racing game where the objective is to complete either three or five laps on a single circuit. There are no AI controlled racers, so the player is only ranked by the time it took to finish the race. Three cars are available for driving, with different appearance and characteristics.</p>
<p>The game includes a 3D editor tool that can load and edit the game's objects, including the geometry of the race track itself.</p>

<p><em>G-Quest</em> is a puzzle/adventure game that combines a block-pushing puzzle in the vein of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1715/soko-ban/">Soko-Ban</a> with a maze exploration game where items are collected for points. The player controls a yellow ball that moves around a mazelike environment which contains gems of different colours, boxes that may be pushed, and various obstacles.</p>
<p>The objective is to collect all gems, move all boxes to special areas, and reach the level exit. Obstacles include coloured "doors" that may be opened or closed upon walking over a floor button of the respective colour, and one-way tiles which will push the player in the direction that the arrow on the floor is pointing. Some items (including certain pushable boxes) are hidden beneath a question mark and are only revealed when the player bumps into it. Unlike the traditional <em>Soko-Ban</em> game, levels take up more than one screen, but a schematic map is displayed at the bottom.</p>
<p><em>G-Quest</em> was marketed as shareware, with seven levels in the unregistered version, and 50 levels in the "Deluxe" registered game.</p>

<p><em>Hero Gold</em> is a puzzle game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5012/chips-challenge/">Chip's Challenge</a>.

<p><em>Jaguar GR1: Strike Force Delta Zulu</em> is a modern military combat flight simulator that was created with Domark and Simis's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19208/flight-sim-toolkit/">Flight Sim Toolkit</a> (FST) construction set. As a British Royal Air Force (RAF) pilot, the player straps into the cockpit of a SEPECAT Jaguar GR1 jet fighter-bomber to fly highly dangerous, dynamic missions against various Soviet bloc aircraft, vehicles and naval vessels. However, the scenario is not that of a military conflict, but is instead set during a fictional joint military exercise between RAF and the armed forces of former communist states, which takes place in a remote, top secret training area deep in the territory of the former Soviet Union.</p>
<p>There are ten missions in the game, each being a separate scenario that was built and runs on the FST engine. Missions are accessed through a graphical user interface added by the author, which also displays mission briefings, online help and other information, as well as allows to view the 3D models of the player's craft and enemy planes. The missions can be played in any order.</p>

<p><em>Garnott 2</em> is a top-down, 360-degree space shooter game similar to the classic <a href="/search/?q=Asteroids">Asteroids</a>, as well as to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13043/stardust/">Stardust</a> game series. The player flies a ship, shown from a top-down perspective, and must use on-board weapons to dispose of enemy ships and other obstacles. These include asteroids that drift around and, if shattered by weapon file, will fall apart into several smaller rocks. Navigation in space in not straightforward, as the player's craft is subject to inertia, and collisions with enemy ships and asteroids should be avoided as they result in hull damage. Because of the inertia, the player cannot immediately change course when using the thrusters, so flying around the levels requires skill and precision.</p>
<p>Destroyed enemy ships drop pickups which, if collected before they disappear, will give the player bonuses and cash, which may be spent between missions on ship repairs, shield recharge, as well as to purchase additional weapons. Missions have a soft timer: when the countdown reaches zero, a powerful enemy ship will appear in the level and chase the player.</p>
<p>The plot of the game is apparently intended to be a parody. There's a villain called Dage Vador (also referred to as "Dr. Dage" in mission briefings) who travels around the galaxy in a cheeseburger-shaped star cruiser that houses a "mega-cannon", which he intends to use for Earth's destruction. The player's task is to prevent this from happening, but Dr. Dage's minions stand in the way.</p>

Some of these are point and click style mini-games, while others are tests of knowledge, trivia style.</p>

<p>The third and final edition of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4361/reach-for-the-stars-the-conquest-of-the-galaxy/">Reach for the Stars: The Conquest of the Galaxy</a> is a near total rewrite of the game, replacing the entire structure and flow of the original with a menu-based interface similar to SSG's other games available in 1988, and for the first time is available on 16-bit platforms as well as the Apple II and Commodore 64 that <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/14868/roger-keating/">Roger Keating</a> and <a href="/search/?q=Ian+Trout">Ian Trout</a> originally wrote it for.</p>
<p>In addition to the revamped interface and tweaks to the basic game, <em>RFTS 3.0</em> offers a new advanced scenario, with significant changes and additions, including ground armies, new mechanics on governing conquered planets, new technology trees for navigation and industrial capacity, and progressive social maintenance costs.</p>

<p><em>Vertigo</em> is a flight simulator that is focussed on highly realistic simulation of piloting an airplane, with almost no emphasis on combat, although it is present in a very limited form. The game offers a selection of various propeller, jet and rocket engine aircraft:</p>
<ul>
<li>Grumman F-14A Tomcat</li>
<li>British Aerospace Sea Harrier</li>
<li>Lockheed F-104 Starfighter</li>
<li>Lockheed U-2</li>
<li>Vought F4U-1 Corsair</li>
<li>Saab MFI-17 Supporter</li>
<li>North American X-15A-2</li>
<li>Grumman Lunar Module 5</li>
</ul>
<p>The game simulates realistic flying conditions and aircraft behaviour. Some factors like wind or realistic propeller/jet engine simulation may be turned off in the game menu, so as to simplify controls for less experienced users. There are no missions or scenarios, but the player can select various starting conditions, including whether the aircraft is on the runway, on an aircraft carrier, approaching landing, about to land or in flight at high altitude. Time of day may be also specified. From here, various manoeuvres can be tried out, from a simple test flight to the highly complex carrier landing. If the Lunar Module is selected, the objective is to land it on the surface of the moon.</p>
<p>The use of weapons is limited to target practice using the cannons, available if the real-life counterpart of the selected aircraft has those. Cannon fire is also simulated with a high degree of realism, and accuracy will depend on various factors like aircraft velocity and position relative to the ground.</p>
<p><em>Vertigo</em> was developed as a free, open source programme, with the code released under the GNU General Public License. It was originally inspired by another public domain flight simulator, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/80721/fly8/">Fly8</a>.</p>

<p><em>Kraptor</em> is a free, open source vertical-scrolling top-down shooter that pays homage to Cygnus Software's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/511/raptor-call-of-the-shadows/">Raptor: Call of the Shadows</a>. The background story told via an CGI animated intro cinematic reveals that in the future, the world is ruled by a powerful tyrant with an uncanny likeness to Bill Gates. Many people are unhappy with this and an uprising starts, with the player cast as a mercenary pilot who aids the rebels against the oppressing empire.</p>
<p>Gameplay is quite similar to <em>Raptor</em>: the player's ship is initially outfitted with a weak gun with unlimited ammo, but better weapons, other equipment and repairs may be purchased between missions for credits earned during a level. The player is confronted by numerous enemy fliers of different varieties, and can also destroy ground targets, all of which yields additional credits. Some ships also drop useful powerups when destroyed. A typical level ends with a boss battle.</p>
<p><em>Kraptor</em> was developed as an open source game and is distributed under the MIT License. There are ten levels in the game.</p>

<p><em>Tyrannizer</em> is a first-person shooter game with a mix of sci-fi and fantasy elements, likely inspired by <a href="/search/?q=Quake">Quake</a>. The player character uses a sword for a close-rangge weapon alongside modern era firearms, but the game is set in a medieval looking castle populated with mythical creatures.</p>
<p>The game was developed with the ACKNEX 3D GameStudio construction set, which is more similar to the Build 2.5D engine than to the true 3D <em>Quake</em> engine, and uses sprites for enemies, items and decorations. Build-engine like advanced features are used like bridges or balconies that can be walked on and passed under, and the ability to swim underwater.</p>

<p><em>Break It</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> variant for one or two players that more or less closely sticks to the original rules. The objective of each level is to clear the playing field of all destructible bricks with a ball that bounces off a paddle which the player moves horizontally at the bottom of the screen. Should the ball fall off the screen, a point is subtracted from the number of "lives" or "tries" that player has (starting with five) and a new ball appears to continue playing.</p>
<p>Bricks range from those broken as soon as the ball hits them, to those which take more than one hit to break (changing their colour as they're hit), to completely indestructible obstacles. Some bricks drop bonuses which fall down, and if the player "catches" such a bonus with the paddle, it might yield a temporary advantage, including a weapon that may be fired from the paddle to destroy bricks, increased paddle size, extra life, etc. However, certain pickups have an adverse effect (reversing the left and right controls of the paddle, discolouring the playing field or even taking one life point). Typical for the genre, the game does not explain which bonuses do what, leaving it for the player to discover on their own. Moreover, sometimes bricks drop surprise bonuses that look like question marks, the effect of which can be only discovered after picking them.</p>
<p>What makes <em>Break It</em> stand out from many other similar games is that temporary advantages cannot be stacked: whenever a new bonus is picked up, any current (dis)advantage that is in effect will expire. So for example, if the player obtained increased paddle size but then picks up the missile weapon bonus, the paddle will shrink to the original size. This may limit the player's resources, but also allows to cancel any negative effects by picking a new bonus.</p>
<p>Two users can play on the same screen, with their movement restricted to the left and right sides of the playing field. A joystick is necessary for the second player, as the first player's paddle can be only controlled with a mouse, not with the keyboard.</p>
<p><em>Break It</em> was distributed as shareware. Registered users would receive additional 100 levels and a level editor for the game.</p>

<p><em>Sacrilege!</em> is a puzzle game in which the player is tasked with removing all the tiles present on screen by clicking on them. The challenge comes from the fact you can only click tiles that are separated by one tile from the one you just clicked. </p>
<p>The red tile shows the last selected tile. Green tiles are mystery tiles—if clicked on they generate either a bonus (250 extra points or 20 additional seconds on the clock) or a penalty (250 points deducted or being sent back to the previous level). Green tiles can also be ignored altogether. </p>
<p>The player loses a life if he or she does not complete a level within the time limit. The game contains 75 levels in total.</p>

<p>This historical combat flight simulation, created with Domark/Simis' <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19208/flight-sim-toolkit/">Flight Sim Toolkit</a>, is set during the Spanish Civil War and allows to fly various airplanes of the period:</p>
<p><strong>Republican forces:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Polikarpov I-15 'Chato'</li>
<li>Polikarpov I-16 'Mosca'</li>
<li>Polikarpov RZ 'Natacha'</li>
<li>Grumman CCF 'Delfin'</li>
<li>Tupolev SB-2 'Katiuska'</li>
<li>De Havilland DH-89 'Dragon Rapide'</li>
<li>Douglas DC-2</li>
<li>Potez-540</li>
<li>Gil y Pazo GP-2</li>
<li>Focke-Wulf 'Stösser'</li>
<li>Autogiro 'La Cierva'</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Nationalist forces:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Messerschmitt BF-109B</li>
<li>Dornier 17 'Bacalao'</li>
<li>Junkers Ju-87 'Stuka'</li>
<li>Junkers Ju-52 'Pedro'</li>
<li>Fiat CR-32 'Chirri'</li>
</ul>
<p>Each plane has its own mission, detailed out in the optional Windows-based user interface that acts as the game launcher. There are two theatres of operation: Ebro delta and Valencia region, and the scenarios are split between these two separate game maps, with ten missions per theatre. Scenarios take advantage of enhanced features of the <em>Flight Sim Toolkit</em>, so often the player is accompanied by friendly AI pilots to simulate large-scale military operations.</p>
<p>The game is free to distribute, but since the author retains all the rights and prohibits commercial distribution, it is classified as shareware by the author.</p>

<p><em>Baller! And Forget</em> is a vertical scrolling shoot-'em-up for one or two players that can be compared to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/586/tyrian/">Tyrian</a>. "Ballern" is a German colloquialism for 'to shoot', so the title is a bilingual pun on the phrase "fire and forget". The game's story, sparsely related via mission briefings, hints at a military conflict between space faring factions (it is never made clear whether these are descendants of Earth's humans, aliens, or both), and the player takes on the role of a fighter pilot for the invading force that wants to conquer the mineral-rich planets of the Velanus system. They meet with heavy resistance from the natives, so the player's task is to carry out various offensive operations to bring their side to victory.</p>
<p>The core gameplay has virtually no deviations from the genre's established formula: the player's ship files towards waves of enemies and must destroy as many as possible while dodging their fire. Destroying enemy targets yields credits which may be spent between missions to purchase shield and weapon upgrades, as well as additional equipment like scanners that detect cloaked ships and vehicles. The player's craft has several slots for different weapons (air-to-air, air-to-ground and both air and ground), which range from energy projectiles to various missiles, all fired simultaneously (but at a different rate) as the fire button is pressed. Additionally, some bonus items may be acquired during play by picking them up from destroyed enemies. A level typically ends with a battle against a boss enemy.</p>
<p>The two-player mode omits the weapon purchase part and instead produces more frequent weapon upgrade pickups and other bonuses.</p>
<p>The game uses 3D rendered stills for the mission briefing, shop and other screens, but all in-game objects, terrain and effects appear hand-drawn.</p>
<p><em>Baller! And Forget</em> was marketed as shareware, with the unregistered version only including several levels from the full campaign.</p>

<p><em>Le Labyrinthe de la Reine des Ombres</em> is a French educational game in <em>Le Labyrinthe</em> series intended for children of 6 to 8 years of age who have just learned to read.</p>
<p>The story is about a little boy who has discovered in his garden a mysterious door - and after opening it by solving its riddle has found himself in a fairy-tale Kingdom of Shadows. The local Queen is quite fond of playing word games with children who visit her castle, but she hates to lose - and as a result she imposes a curse on all the land. Of course, it becomes out task to lift it, by traveling around the world, meeting its inhabitants and helping them with their needs. </p>
<p>The process consists in solving different puzzles and riddles aimed at checking the French kids' ability to read and understand short line of texts; the answers are given by choosing the correct reply among the several options presented by the game. There are exercises like hidden word search, solving simple cryptograms etc. There are also three mini-games: a maze where we have to find our way from one corner into the opposite one while not running into enemies; a simple memory game for locating pairs of medallions; and a sea arcade where we have to maneuver out little boat in order to evade arrows falling from the above.</p>

<p><em>Little People Bowling Alley</em> is a 1-2 player trivia/bowling game for multiple systems.</p>
<p>Each player controls a little person, who is positioned at a bowling lane. The player rolls the ball, and tries to knock as many pins as possible. There are 2 balls per frame with 6 pins, and a total of 10 frames in a game. On difficulty 1, the player always rolls straight, but on higher difficulty the player must coordinate their button presses with character movement to bowl straight ahead.</p>

<p><em>Bubble Pop Memory</em> is a freeware <em>Memory</em>-style game. 32 cards are placed face down in a random order on the screen, and the goal is to locate the 16 pairs of identical cards in the least possible amount of trials. The player can click on two cards at once to reveal their value. If they are identical, they remain visible. If they are different, they are flipped down again. The player has 4 minutes to complete the game.</p>
<p>The best scores are recorded in a high score table.</p>

<p><em>Learn to Spell</em> is a 1-player education game for multiple systems.</p>
<p>The player controls a dolphin, which collects fragments of 3-letter words, and returns them to a submarine. The submarine displays either the beginning or ending of words, and as the player makes words, points are displayed on the submarine. When all submarine points are completed, the player descends to a lower level.</p>

<p><em>Keyboard Cadet</em> is a typing game for multiple systems.</p>
<p>The player is in control of a spaceship, that must do battle with letters and words. As letters appear on the screen, the player must quickly type the correct letter, or their spaceship takes damage. Later, words appear on the screen, and if the player fails to type them correctly, their ship is further damaged. If the player makes 5 mistakes during a lesson, their ship is destroyed. There are numerous different typing lessons available, with 3 speeds.</p>

<p><em>Cosmo Chicken</em> is a small arcade-style game where you have to land a chicken on a landing pad surrounded by mines. Floating mines, rocket launching worms and a vicious space dog make this task more difficult.</p>

<p><em>Cosmo Dragon</em> is a small arcade shoot-em-up style about a dragon taking on asteroids, witches, wizards, pumpkins, and ultimately a flying castle to get back his son who was abducted over Cosmo Dragon's refusal to join the Halloween party.</p>

<p><em>Zero G</em> is a futuristic racing/combat game made in QuickBasic that was inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=WipEout">WipEout</a>. The player's objective is to participate in races against AI-controlled opponents, and earn credits to purchase even more powerful vehicles. There are four tracks of increasing difficulty and correspondingly larger reward for winning the race, and six racing craft (including the player's starting vehicle) with progressively better speed and other characteristics.</p>
<p>The player begins with zero credits and the weakest racing craft possible, and can slowly accumulate more credits by participating in races. During play, it is possible to use weapons like missiles and bombs against the competitors to win the race, and the AI pilots will do likewise whenever possible. Tracks may be played in any order but more difficult ones will likely require more powerful vehicles to stand a chance. There is neither a save/load game option, nor a scoreboard to keep track of the player's progress. There are no sound effects or music.</p>
<p><em>Zero G</em> was released as freeware by its author.</p>

<p><em>Vietnam</em> is a historical combat flight simulation that was created with Domark Software's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19208/flight-sim-toolkit/">Flight Sim Toolkit</a>. The game allows to pilot either the F-4 Phantom or the A-6 Intruder for the US/South Vietnam side in various missions set during the Vietnam War.</p>
<p>The simulator was distributed as shareware. The unregistered version contained a couple of missions, with more scenarios available in the full game, including escort, rescue and other types of objectives. Registered users would also receive programme updates and a printed manual.</p>

<p><em>Future Conflict</em> is a real-time strategy game that is an almost verbatim replica of Westwood Studios' <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Command+%26+Conquer">Command &amp; Conquer</a>. The way units are controlled and base structures are managed is identical to <em>Command &amp; Conquer</em>, and even the resource mineral, Argolite, will slowly damage any infantry unit which walks over it. The selection of units is also very similar to Westwood RTS games: there are riflemen, grenadiers and missile soldiers, jeeps and tanks, artillery units and even helicopters.</p>
<p>The game has a single-player campaign that spans 11 missions in which the player controls government forces (orange) against unspecified rebels (green). Also included is a two-player multiplayer mode over IPX, and the skirmish mode against up to four AI players, with a small selection of skirmish maps available. It is also possible to play user-made maps and scenarios.</p>
<p><em>Future Conflict</em> was created by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,120549/">Chris Jones</a> (author of the Adventure Creator / Adventure Game Studio) and distributed as shareware. While registration was not mandatory and the free shareware version is not limited in any way, registered users would receive a map editor, mission creator and the ability to create their own units.</p>

<p><em>Akiko and Minami</em> is an unofficial remake of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/11582/the-great-giana-sisters/">The Great Giana Sisters</a> for one or two players, created with <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/hammer-technologies">Hammer Technologies</a>' DIV Games Studio programming environment. Unlike other remakes of <em>Giana Sisters</em>, this one uses its own art assets that are completely different from the original Giana graphics, but faithfully recreates the layout of the first four levels and accurately implements all game mechanics, including powerups and breakable tiles with bonus diamonds.</p>
<p><em>Akiko and Minami</em> was released as freeware.</p>

<p><em>Survival</em> is a post-apocalyptic strategy game that takes place after a nuclear war on devastated earth. Together with a small group of survivors the player has to leave the bunker and try to built up a new future. Mutants and other survivors will challenge this ambitions while building up a new civilization.</p>

<p><em>Station Escape</em> is a sample first-person shooter/adventure game that was created to showcase the capabilities of the ACK-3D (Animation Construction Kit 3D) engine. This open source engine is comparable to that of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/786/blake-stone-aliens-of-gold/">Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold</a>: there are textured walls, floors and ceilings, but all walls are limited to the same height and only turn an 90 degree angles.</p>
<p>As the title suggests, the game takes place on a space station, from which the player must escape before the time runs out and the station's orbit decays. There is one remaining shuttle, but it needs to be repaired first by finding several spare parts scattered across the station. To complicate things, there are hostile astronauts lurking around (whose presence is not explained) that attack the player at every turn. It is possible to shoot back, but care must be taken not to hit the viewports, which will result in immediate decompression and game over. Shooting solid walls will leave scorch marks, which is a rather unusual feature for a game engine like this.</p>
<p><em>Station Escape</em> may be controlled either via keyboard keys or with the mouse, similar to many eary-90s role-playing games, for example <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/803/the-elder-scrolls-arena/">The Elder Scrolls: Arena</a>: moving the mouse cursor towards the edges of the screen determines whether the player should walk or turn, and pressing the left mouse button moves or turns the player in the direction specified.</p>

<p><em>Paiteo: Yeong-ung-eul Gidalimyeo</em>, rendered in English as <em>Fighter: Waiting for Hero</em>, is a one-on-one versus fighting game with hand-drawn characters and backgrounds, similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Street+Fighter+II">Street Fighter II</a>. According to the official description, the story takes place in 1999 when a certain "dark organization" attempts to conquer the world, but this plan may be thwarted by an outcome of a fighting tournament. There are eight playable characters. The game supports human versus human play over serial cable.</p>

<p><em>Bubble Puzzle</em> is the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bust-A-Move">Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble</a> variant that eventually became <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7785/bubble-puzzle-97/">Bubble Puzzle 97</a>. The main differences in this version are that the ball-launching cannon may not be moved on the horizontal axis, and the initial arrangement of bubbles at the start of each level is generated randomly.</p>
<p>The core playing mechanics remain the same: connecting three or more bubbles of the same colour clears them from the screen, along with any other bubbles connected to them but not to any other bubbles. The "ceiling" to which the bubbles are ultimately attached descends slowly, and if any bubble crosses the red line at the bottom, the game is lost.</p>
<p><em>Bubble Puzzle</em> was distributed as "letterware": the authors requested no charge and allowed to redistribute the game freely, but asked users to send e-mails with feedback (a questionnaire was included).</p>

<p><em>Noid</em> is one of several sample games that demonstrate the capabilities of DIV Games Studio development environment. It is a simple remake of <a href="/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a> with colourful graphics and smooth animations. In particular, broken bricks do not simply disappear but fall down to the bottom of the screen, which, along with falling bonuses, can make it difficult to keep track of the ball(s). Typical for the genre, the available bonuses are marked with different colours and letters, but are not explained anywhere in the game -- it's up for the player to discover their effects. The paddle can be only controlled with the keyboard.</p>
<p>The game was available as a free download from the official DIV Games Studio website.</p>

<p><em>Tales of Discovery</em> is a compilation of 2 chose your own adventure style games previously released in Scholastic's Microzine</p>

<p>This is an unofficial, open source adaptation of the <em>Monopoly</em> board game for up to eight players (human or computer), with a few changes to the original rules.</p>

<p>This is an interactive demonstration of the ACKNEX virtual game toolkit and its possible applications for gaming and promotional products, released by the developer oP Group. Some of the textures, sounds, art, as well as the interface are the same (or slightly modified) as in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/6402/skaphander-der-auftrag/">SKAPHANDER</a>, a commercial title by the same developer. However, there is no other relation between these two games.</p>
<p>The scenario contains several sections:</p>
<ul>
<li>an open area with the player moving around in the "scaphander", the objective is to collect several yellow balls</li>
<li>a shooting gallery where the balls may be used to hit targets</li>
<li>an underwater area</li>
<li>several rooms with various architecture</li>
<li>a showcase of possible animations and special effects</li>
<li>an elaborate garden, accessible with jetpack</li>
</ul>
<p>The demo was available as a free download from the oP Group website. The in-game instructions are entirely in German, but a message shown upon exit is given in both German and English, suggesting to contact the authors to commission a promotional game.</p>

<p><em>The War of Genesis</em> is a tactical RPG with a strong focus on the story, similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4522/final-fantasy-tactics/">Final Fantasy Tactics</a>.</p>

<p><em>The War of Genesis II</em> is a remake of <a href="/search/?q=The+War+of+Genesis+I">The War of Genesis I</a>. In addition the story has been expanded as well as the combat mechanics, now incorporating air and naval combat.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Magics-Cobra</strong> - a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Snake">Snake</a> variant</li>
<li><strong>Magics-Dia</strong> - a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Columns">Columns</a> variant</li>
<li><strong>Magics-Ball</strong> - an arcade/puzzle game that combines elements from both <em>Snake</em> and <em>Columns</em></li>
</ul>
<p><em>Magics I</em> was sold as shareware, with the unregistered version only allowing to play the first few levels from each of the above games. Registered users would also receive level editors for <em>Magics-Ball</em> and <em>Magics-Cobra</em>.</p>

<p><em>Goldfields</em> is an educational game for multiple systems.</p>
<p>The game is largely text-based with multiple choice menus. You have just arrived by ship at Suze Port. Gold has been found around Fields Town, which is inland. Your player is given options including working in Suze Town, or can travel further inland to Fields Town, or the actual mining fields like Damp Camp or Goldfields to see out your fortune. The goal is to gain as much money, gold, and experience as possible in 1 year. During their adventure, the player must watch their health and legal status. The player can purchase a gun to protect themselves from robbers, and </p>
<p>Starting in Suze Port, the player can choose to work for money to help with their travels, or head directly to Fields Town. In Fields Town, the player can work for the local businesses including the hospital, grocer, hotel, and transport shop. The player can choose to pay extra to become a partner in these businesses, and help expand them. As a partner, every month the player receives money for their investment. </p>
<p>Finally, the player can purchase mining equipment, and head out to make their fortune in the gold fields. There, the player can try alluvial mining, or can purchase a share in the local shaft mines. As an owner in the shaft mines, the player can mine on their own, or can use their investments to expand the mine to make it more profitable. The gold the player mines can then be sold for cash, with a better exchange rate the further the player is from the mines. As the game progresses, the player gains new skills. If the player's health falls to low, they must recover in the local hospital. </p>
<p>At the end of a year, the player can adventure for another year.</p>

<p><em>Fostiator</em> is one of several sample games that demonstrate the capabilities of DIV Games Studio development environment. It is a simple versus fighting game with four characters and three stages, using high-resolution pre-rendered sprites for characters and scenery objects. It is possible to play against the AI with three difficulty levels, against another player on a single keyboard, or watch two AI opponents fight each other.</p>
<p>There is no plot but the DIV Games Studio user manual gives short (and rather silly) descriptions of each character: Alien, an animated skeleton of an extraterrestrial warrior with sharp claws; Bishop, a bionic fighter; Ripley, the Earth's best gymnast; and Nostromo, an immortal warrior armed with an axe. The character's names are obvious references to the 1979 film <em>Alien</em> and its sequel <em>Aliens</em>, but the game has otherwise no relation to this franchise.</p>
<p><em>Fostiator</em> was available as a free download from the official DIV Games Studio website. The entire source code of the game was also included with a copy of the DIV Games Studio suite.</p>

<p><em>Blupimania</em> is an isometric action puzzle game featuring <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/epsitec-sa">Epsitec</a>'s trademark yellow egg-shaped characters called "Blupi". The objective of each level is to guide Blupi safely to the exit, marked by a purple balloon that takes Blupi to the next stage. To this end, the player can manipulate the game environment in many ways, placing or removing objects, and in some cases, controlling Blupi directly, although by default, the characters roam the level on their own. In a way, the game is similar to <a href="/search/?q=Lemmings">Lemmings</a>, but the amount of objects and Blupi's abilities makes it much more complex, allowing for rather intricate situations for the player to solve.</p>
<p>The game is split into four sets of levels with puzzles of increasing difficulty. The first part is essentially a set of tutorial levels that gradually introduce the player to the various in-game objects and playing concepts. In addition, there is a built-in level editor that allows users to create and play their own puzzles.</p>
<p><em>Blupimania</em> was originally sold as shareware, with the unregistered version offering a few puzzles from each difficulty setting. The full game contains over 150 puzzles.</p>

<p><em>Dame &amp; Mühle</em> is a set of two classic board games called Checkers and Morris. Similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1950/battle-chess/">Battle Chess</a>, these games offer a 3D perspective. A log is provided for training and rethinking the strategy as well.</p>

The player can interact in the matches by making substitutions. The game is provided with the team editor that should be loaded separately in order to create fictional teams which you can coach.</p>

<p><em>Broadway</em> is a 1-player simulation about putting on a Broadway musical.</p>
<p>At the start of the game, the player must use their previous track record to raise $1,000,000 from 8 investors to start putting together their show. The previous track record is random, and the player may not be able to acquire sufficient funds. If the player acquires $1,000,000, they can start the process of putting together their show. </p>
<p>the player must put money upfront to hire crew and a place to practice. The player then chooses a wide variety of people to work on the production, including actors, the director, set designer, costume designer, lighting designer, and more. Each of these come in 3 talent grades, with progressively higher cost for more talent. The player must choose the quality and seating capacity of their theatre, as well as investing in sets, props, and costumes. </p>
<p>After this, the player enters a 5 week rehearsal period, after which they receive reviews on their production. A poor production is doomed to failure. Each opening night, the player chooses to spend advertising on their production, and controls the ticket costs. The goal is to recoup the initial investment costs over a period of the next few weeks.</p>

<p><em>Pebbles</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a> clone. The player controls a human-looking character in a side-view perspective on a fixed screen, and the objective of the game is to collect all fruit in the allotted time to open the level exit. To this end, the player digs tunnels through soft earth, but must be aware of "pebbles" that will fall down once free from any support, and of various hostile creatures that will instantly destroy the player character on contact.</p>
<p><em>Pebbles</em> was developed as freeware and originally released along with its source code. The game contains eight levels.</p>

<p><em>McGee School Days</em> is an edutainment title for young children, aged two to six, with the aim of preparing them for school. It contains mini games of hop-scotch and I-Spy and teaches basic shape and colour recognition, counting to ten. The screens contain 'hot-spots' that trigger little animations to <em>"... encourage a sense of exploration."</em></p>
<p>The CD also includes the software to set up a Compuserve account and Compuserve's WOW! for Windows 95.</p>

<p><em>The Lord of Lightning</em> is a freeware first-person shooter game that puts the player in control of no other than Zeus, the Olympic god himself, referred to as the Lord of Lightning by the game. After visiting the mortal realm to watch over Hercules' feats - or rather, shenanigans, as the game's back-story implies in a rather unsubtle manner, - Zeus is about to ascend back to Mount Olympus, but finds the Beam Gate that leads there barred. Worse still, there are hordes of undead mummies sent out to kill Zeus by the Egyptian gods, knowing that while on Earth, the Olympians' immortality is temporarily relinquished. Now the Lord of Lightning must fight through these enemies and find the way back to Olympus.</p>
<p><em>The Lord of Lightning</em> was created with the ACKNEX 3D GameStudio development suite and features level architecture comparable to that of Build engine games, which is to say a notch or two up compared to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Doom">Doom</a>. The extra features include underwater areas, destructible decorations, walkways above the floor of the level, and even intricate pseudo-3D objects like a spiral staircase. However, even with these enhancements the level layout is not as complex as in most Build engine games, and is more reminiscent of many early 90s <em>Doom</em> user maps.</p>
<p>Combat is straightforward: the player's attack - which does not look like a lightning at all - is a fireball that flies in a straight line, without any auto-aiming that could be expected in this type of first-person shooter. Each attack costs a small amount of mana, which needs to be replenished. For this, the game employs a simple inventory system: when the player picks up an item (typically a bottle or a jar with health/mana), it is not used up immediately but gets stored in one of eight inventory slots instead, which are split equally between health and mana items. There is only one enemy type, the mummies which also have a ranged attack, but it appears as a green orb. The player's fireball can destroy enemy projectiles in mid-flight, providing some protection and a certain tactical element to the fights.</p>

<p><em>Gene Splicing</em> is a traditional style party-based first-person role-playing game in a science fiction setting, with grid-based movement and turn-based combat. The story takes place in near future, the latter part of the 21st. century to be exact, when increased human lifespan and overpopulation prompts the Earth's governments to actively promote space colonisation. A new entity called the Space Security Agency (SSA) is established to monitor off-world activity and maintain order. The game starts with the player, as a new agent of the SSA, arriving at the agency's HQ on the Moon. An alarm signal has been received from the Skycorp Research Facility on the Moon, and the player is sent to investigate after completing a training course in the headquarters.</p>
<p>The gameplay mechanics can be compared to those found in early first-person computer RPGs like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/819/tales-of-the-unknown-volume-i-the-bards-tale/">The Bard's Tale</a>, albeit in a science fiction setting. The game world is represented as a flat map divided into squares, with one window of the game interface showing a static first-person, pseudo-3D view of the surroundings, which shows only the most essential details like walls and doors. Encounters are displayed as separate drawings, static or with limited animation (unlike more modern titles where enemy sprites are imposed on the scenery view). For example, during combat, the first-person view is replaced by an animated image of the foe the player is facing. Items found in the game world often have no visual representation at all - only a text message is displayed if the player walks into a square that contains an item.</p>
<p>The game starts with the player character being alone, but eventually other characters join the party. Similar to <em>The Bard's Tale</em> and other such games, multiple characters can be arranged in a battle order, with some being in the front row and others in the back, unreachable for close-range attacks during combat. There are also friendly NPCs that provide dialogue, clues and items.</p>
<p>The character system is based on four attributes: Strength, Intelligence, Agility and Endurance. These determine a character's hit points, attack and defence ability, item carrying capacity, and the PSI ability which is the sci-fi equivalent of magic. Characters level up based on the accumulated experience points, up to the maximum level of 20.</p>
<p>Stylistically, <em>Gene Splicing</em> is quite similar to the previous game by Nachos Software, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/56773/psionics/">Psionics</a>, which also features comparable playing mechanics. It was released and distributed as freeware.</p>

<p><em>Trivia Canada 1</em> is one of a series of shareware trivia games released by Canadian developer <em>The Softworks</em>. This game was free but others in the series had to be purchased.</p>
<p>This game is for one to four players who each have to enter a name before the game can begin. They then take it in turns to answer questions however in their turn each player continues answering questions until they answer incorrectly. There are six topics Canadiana, Sports, History, Geography, Famous People and 'Wild Card!' and before each question the player hits a key to start/stop a 'spinner' which selects the topic of the question to be answered. The game ends when a player has correctly answered a question in each of them. <br>
All the questions are multiple choice and have four options to choose from. The points earned per question vary as they are dependant a countdown timer which starts at one hundred and runs out at zero.</p>
<p>The game plays in colour by default but also has a monochrome option, it also has optional sound.</p>

<p><em>Fun-Learning: United States Edition</em> is a single player educational quiz that aims to teach the states and the state capitals of the United States of America. The game starts by showing an outline map of the USA and its state borders before starting the quiz.</p>
<p>There are two modes of play and two types of quiz.;* Select Mode; The states of America are listed in alphabetical order, seventeen to a screen. The player can select any of the states shown or can scroll forward or back through the state lists. The F7 key toggles the question between state and capital options. If the State option is selected then once a state has been chosen the game shows the outline map of state borders and challenges the player to click on the correct state. If the Capital option is active the player is asked to enter the city's name.</p>
<ul>
<li>Random Mode: If State mode is active then the player is shown the outline state map of the USA and is asked to identify a series of states one after the other. If Capital mode is active the player is shown a series of state names and must enter the capital of each.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Robot Redemption</em> is a free, open source first-person shooter game based on the code of id Software's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3121/hovertank-one/">Hovertank 3D</a>, with almost identical gameplay, but different art and story. Here, the player assumes the role of Mash Hardrock, an owner of a Hyperbox Stardrive TM craft (which looks suspiciously like a red version of Doctor Who's TARDIS, and appears to function in a similar manner), who is hired by the Jupiter Moon Mining Corporation to carry out rescue operations in their installations on the moons of Jupiter.</p>
<p>The objective in each mission / level is to warp in using not-TARDIS, then scout the area in the mining moon buggy which has been provided by the corporation, pick up stranded robot workers and get back to the ship to evacuate before the countdown timer reaches zero. Various alien-looking monsters stand in the way, but the buggy is armed with a mining laser and protected with energy shields. An on-board radar displays the location of friendly robots, and a turbo jet may be used to speed up movement.</p>
<p>The basic version <em>Robot Redemption</em> runs under DOS, but it has been ported to Windows and Linux using the Unity implementation of the <em>Hovertank 3D</em> engine. The game has 20 levels. Progress is saved automatically upon completion of a level, and the starting mission may then be selected when beginning a new game.</p>

<p><em>Geography Ace</em> single player, shareware, keyboard controlled, educational quiz game covering both world geography and U.S. geography. </p>
<p>The game has two levels of difficulty. Questions are shown one at a time and they take the form "Germany is on which continent?"; "What is the state capital of Montana?", "What is the capital of Saudi Arabia?". These are not multiple choice questions - all answers questions have to be typed in. The questions are not timed.  </p>
<p>After five turns the game asks the player if they wish to continue and this repeats until the player decides to quit at which point their final score is given.</p>

<p><em>Speed 4 Dummies</em> is a sample game made with the DIV Games Studio development suite, showing such features as sprite scaling and rotation. It is a simple racing game for one or two players against up to three computer opponents, visually and graphically similar to such titles as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/433/wacky-wheels/">Wacky Wheels</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Street+Racer">Street Racer</a>. The game world is rendered in a flat pseudo-3D perspective, and the cars are represented with sprites rather than true 3D objects.</p>
<p>There are two tracks, forest and desert, and four different cars, although players cannot choose the appearance of the car that they're driving. The options allow to select the number of laps for each race, with the choice between three, six and nine laps. There are no powerups, and the only way to win is to carefully navigate the track, achieving higher speed when possible and slowing down at turns, as bumping into the track's boundaries will temporarily slow down the car to the minimum.</p>
<p><em>Speed 4 Dummies</em> was included on the DIV Game Studio CD along with its complete source code, and the binary version without the code could be downloaded from the official site of the suite.</p>

<p><em>Ultimate Geography</em> is a single player, shareware, geography quiz that aims to teach the US states and their capitals. It also included factual data about the population, size, trivia, industries, crime, marriage, births, divorce, and death rates of each state.</p>
<p>The game starts with a largely empty white screen containing a white outline map of the USA that shows state boundaries. There is a menu bar at the top of the screen from which the factual information and the quizzes can be accessed. There are two quizzes in this game:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>States: This uses the outline map of the USA and block fills in a random state in red and asks the player to type in the name. These are not multiple choice questions, the name has to be entered in full. The answer is not case sensitive but the spelling must be accurate. <br>
The quiz covers fifty states and to make it a little easier the game has an option to show a text box that is the right size for the answer.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Capitals: This is pretty much identical to the Stares quiz. The differences being that the questions are "What is the capital of XXXXXX?". The state in question is not coloured in red, instead gunsight style cross-hairs pinpoint the location of the city in question.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p><em>GeOlympics</em> is an educational, shareware, geography title comprising three parts;<em> The game and the factual content of this title are based on an earlier product known as </em>The Great Arc II*. The main screen shows a world map and contains all the functionality of that program in which the player selects two cities and the program calculates a line between them that continues on around the world to form a circle. This, and its associated functions are used in planning multi-leg journeys.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><em>GeOlympics</em>, the game referred to in the title, is a single player quiz game that is accessed by clicking on the five ring Olympic symbol on the right of the main screen. There is a three round practice mode but the aim of the main game is to locate twelve randomly selected cities from either their name, a description or clues. An example from the game's documentation says the city of Detroit can be identified from the following description <em>"'Motor City'; RenCen, Silverdome, Greenfield Village".</em><br>
Questions are timed, the player has ten seconds to click on the city's location on the world map and they have three attempts per turn.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Finally there is <em>ArcEdit</em> which, as the name implies, is an editor that allows the player to change existing cities or add new ones.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Hawaii State Trivia</em> is a shareware, quiz game for up to four players themed on the state of Hawaii.

<p><em>Maine State Trivia</em> is a shareware, quiz game for up to four players where all questions are about he American state of Maine.   </p>
<p>This is a 'Trivia Shell' game meaning that the basic trivia game software was used to produce many games by the load screen and question packs, there are twenty-five 'Trivia Shell' games in the accompanying catalogue while the exit screen advertises yet more diverse subjects including as other states, DOS 5.0, Sports, Novell Netware, and 'The Metaphysical'.<br>
As this is a generic game the description of this game is very similar to others in the series, the only difference between this and, for example, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/167600/hawaii-state-trivia/">Hawaii State trivia</a> is the reference of a Gold version on the shareware reminder screen.</p>
<p>The game has three levels of difficulty which it applies to the same question pack. For example when asked a question on the Beginner setting the player would be given an answer and a pair of True/False buttons; the Intermediate setting is multiple choice and the player would have to choose from four possible answers; and on the Advanced setting the player would have to type in the complete answer.

<p><em>Tornado Squadron</em> is a combat flight simulator that was created with Domark and Simis's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19208/flight-sim-toolkit/">Flight Sim Toolkit</a> (FST) construction set. As a Royal Air Force (RAF) pilot of a Tornado IDS fighter-bomber, the player is tasked with various missions during a fictional conflict with unspecified "hostile intruders" that threaten Britain's home territory. The theatre of operations comprises several islands with friendly and enemy airfields and other installations. Playable scenarios range from base defence to air support to tactical strikes against enemy ground targets.</p>
<p>The game has ten missions, with some starting on the runway and others in mid-air, at various day or night hours. Scenarios are launched from a graphical user interface that is originally not part of the FST toolkit or engine, being a slightly simpler version of the interface menu found in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/162265/jaguar-gr1-strike-force-delta-zulu/">Jaguar GR1</a>, another FST game by the same author. For example, mission briefings are displayed as simple DOS text messages with no graphical background. Similar to <em>Jaguar GR1</em>, the main menu also allows to view some of the 3D models of planes used in the game.</p>
<p><em>Tornado Squadron</em> was released as freeware by its author.</p>

<p><em>All About Ohio</em> is a single person, keyboard controlled, educational, shareware game that is intended to teach the player about Ohio, USA.</p>
<p>The state of Ohio is divided into four quarters which are coloured red while the surrounding states are coloured green. Only one quarter is shown on screen at a time. The player uses the arrow keys to move their character around the state looking for hotspots, these can be cities - usually indicated by a black spot, special places - indicated by a symbol or a coloured spot, or rivers/lakes which are blue.</p>
<p>When a location is found the screen changes from a map view to a question screen. These vary in colour and form but usually have a picture and one or two questions. The question style is unusual. At a location the player may be asked two questions, for example;* This is a memorial to a famous civil war general. What is his name?</p>
<p>a.) U. S. Grant<br>
b.) Sherman<br>
c.) George Custer<br>
d.) R. E. Lee</p>
<ul>
<li>The general was later famous as a  </li>
</ul>
<p>e.) govenor<br>
f.) president<br>
g.) businessman<br>
h.) criminal</p>
<p>The player answers by pressing one of the a-d keys, which brings up a text-capture box, followed by ENTER. That answers the first question, they then press one of the e-h keys followed by ENTER to answer the second. Every non-map screen is closed by typing GO so to complete the question they must type GO and press ENTER to move on with the game. If the player enters an incorrect answer they are prompted to try again and again until they get it right.</p>
<p>The more questions answered correctly the greater the score, the highest possible score a player can achieve is one thousand and four hundred points but to achieve this the player must not only answer questions they must also find three hidden items.</p>

<p><em>Sokowahn Pro</em> is a shareware <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1715/soko-ban/">Soko-Ban</a>-like box-pushing puzzle game with colourful high-resolution graphics. The title is a cross-language pun of sorts, as <em>Wahn</em> means "mania" in German. The rules are the same as in <em>Soko-Ban</em>: the player controls a token that moves turn-by-turn on the playing field and can push (but not pull) boxes which need to be moved to specified squares on the field. There is no time limit, but the game will record the number of turns it took the player to solve a puzzle, and the amount of time in seconds spent on playing a level.</p>
<p>There are several features that make <em>Sokowahn Pro</em> stand out from the rest of <em>Soko-Ban</em> clones. First, all puzzles in <em>Sokowahn Pro</em> are entirely original and do not come from other sources. Secondly, there is an option to record a "movie" (replay) of each completed level, and watch replays made by other users. Players are also able to undo their moves in case a wrong step is taken. While there is no in-game music, a built-in CD player allows to listen to the user's audio CD of choice while playing. Additionally, the game comes with a level editor for the creation of custom puzzles.</p>
<p><em>Sokowahn Pro</em> was sold as shareware, with the unregistered version containing only 20 levels compared to 100 in the registered game, and limited in other ways (the undo function only goes back one turn, there is just one save slot for a user level). Solutions for all puzzles could be ordered separately in the form of replays for the user to watch in-game, alongside a tool to convert levels from other <em>Soko-Ban</em> variants to the <em>Sokowahn Pro</em> format.</p>

<p><em>U.S.A.: A Knowledge Tool</em> is a single-player, shareware, keyboard controlled title with three modes of play. All three options are preceded by a short text screen and use the same map.;* Review the States and their capitals: This option colours a random state red and shows its name and the name of its capital</p>
<ul>
<li>Test on the States of the U.S.A.: This option colours a random state red then puts a question mark at the bottom of the screen and waits for the player's reply</li>
<li>Test on the capitals of the States: This option colours a random state red, displays the state's name across the top of the screen then puts a question mark at the bottom of the screen and waits for the player's reply</li>
</ul>
<p>Spelling is important but the player only needs to enter the first five characters for the game to have an answer it can accept. This can still be difficult at first, for example when presented with the state of North Dakota the answers 'North Dakota', 'N Dakota' were rejected as the game was expecting 'N. Dakota'.<br>
The player gets three attempts to answer correctly after which the correct answer is shown.</p>

<p>This is one of the earliest flight simulators created with Domark and Simis' <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19208/flight-sim-toolkit/">Flight Sim Toolkit</a>. It includes five unrelated scenarios that can be played in any order, all taking place on the same world map. Three of these involve operating civilian aircraft with no combat: in two scenarios, the task is to fly a passenger jet from one airport to another, following an AI-controlled aircraft, and another scenario is about a Sopwith Camel flight at an air show.</p>
<p>There are also two combat missions where the player pilots an F-16. In the first one, the objective is to locate and destroy an aircraft carrier task force, and in the other, the target is a military airfield that fell into enemy hands and needs to be incapacitated.</p>
<p><em>Jörg's Flight-Sim</em> was released as freeware by its author.</p>

<p>Similar to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/120151/space-quest-6-the-spinal-frontier-interactive-demo/">Space Quest 6 demo</a>, the interactive demonstration of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1785/freddy-pharkas-frontier-pharmacist/">Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist</a> offers a short scenario that can be played from start to finish, but is not part of the full game's story line.</p>
<p>In the demo, Freddy needs to find a way to seal the entrance to an abandoned gold mine where a bank robber is hiding. He can visit several locations from the full game, and interact with some of the characters, providing a sample of the retail version's experience in an original context. Also included is a truncated version of the "Ballad" intro, which lacks the actual singing (in order to shrink down the size of the download), and omits potential spoilers about Freddy's past.</p>
<p>The demo was available as a free download from the Sierra BBS.</p>

<p><em>Paddlers</em> is ball-and-paddle brick-breaking game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Arkanoid">Arkanoid</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a>, but with four paddles instead of one, which can be controlled by either human or AI players. The ball changes colour depending on which player's paddle it touched last, so when it breaks a brick or touches a bonus block (bonuses are activated upon touch, not "caught" by paddles as in other <em>Arkanoid</em> games), the points and bonus effects go to the player with the corresponding colour. The successful completion of a stage is rewarded with points, which are divided equally between remaining players.</p>
<p><em>Paddlers</em> is a freeware game. Originally, the author offered optional free registration, with registered users to receive a bonus game called <em>LED Buster</em>, but this offer was eventually discontinued.</p>

<p><em>Dragon Engine</em> is a game construction set that allows users to create and play their own fantasy role-playing games with an overhead perspective. It reproduces, and attempts to improve upon, the playing mechanics found in the classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Ultima">Ultima</a> games, more specifically in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/884/ultima-iv-quest-of-the-avatar/">Ultima IV</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/808/ultima-v-warriors-of-destiny/">V</a>, and generally emulates the look and feel of these games. It also adds enhanced features like the ability to play full motion video sequences, wavetable soundcard support, and lighting effects.</p>
<p>The included sample game showcases <em>Dragon Engine</em>'s various capabilities. The game world has a major castle, several towns, caves and towers, allowing the player's party to interact with various NPCs, gear up and gain experience in battles with monsters to level up. However, there is no main plot/quest, and no overarching goal for the player to follow.</p>

<p><em>Front Page Sports: Baseball '94 - Legends &amp; Stadiums</em> is an expansion for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/4437/front-page-sports-baseball-94/">Front Page Sports: Baseball '94</a></p>
<p>Includes roster and stats for 48 of the greatest baseball teams in history, plus adds 16 more big league ballparks.</p>

<p><em>RetroFuel</em> is like a classic console racer made for the DOS Games Spring Jam. It is similar in design to the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Lotus+series">Lotus series</a>. The controls are straightforward as you can run all tracks flat-out but only use boost on a straight line. Some races require you to stop for refueling.</p>

<p>In the year 2073, in the city of New York, AMX Industries are engineering their newest product of super soldiers for the protection of the city. However the super soldiers Fireking, Kalamus and Megaclaw, break out of their stasis tanks, go maverick and begin to cause destruction around the city. With the police unable to stop the violent trio, AMX hastily mutates eight humans into super soldiers to combat them. The player selects one of the eight super soldiers to fight the other seven determining which of them can stop the violent trio. Each super soldier has his/her super moves in addition to standard punching, kicking, blocking and jumping. Each opponent must be beaten twice to win a fight. After the first seven opponents are down, the player engages Fireking, then Kalamus, then finally Megaclaw in three boss fights. There also exists a Practice Mode.</p>

<p><em>Assimilation</em> is a shareware variant of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/ataxx-variants">Ataxx</a> board game. The players start with several pieces on an 8x8 square board. In each turn, a player can clone his piece onto an adjacent square (horizontally, vertically or diagonally), or move a piece two squares in a specific direction (knight moves are not allowed in this variant). If a piece is placed on a square adjacent to the opponent's pieces, all of them get converted to the player's color. Certain squares on the board are blocked and are unavailable for either player. The game ends once the players have no more moves, at which point the player with more pieces is the winner. </p>
<p>As an unique feature of this variant, two hidden bombs are placed on random squares on the board. A piece which lands on a bomb is destroyed, with the bomb square becoming unavailable. </p>
<p>The registered version contains 50 board layouts, three difficulty levels for the computer opponent, the option to play without bombs, a move suggestion feature, and "3 Killers" which according to the text file "destroy you immediately". The unregistered version only contains 10 boards and two difficulty levels.</p>

<p><em>Skyhawk Attack</em> is a military aircraft flight simulator that was created with Domark and Simis' <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/19208/flight-sim-toolkit/">Flight Sim Toolkit</a> (FST) construction set. It is in many ways similar to another game by the same author, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/167606/tornado-squadron/">Tornado Squadron</a>. The premise is that it's the early 1960s, and the player is a Royal Air Force (RAF) pilot of a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk assigned to a remote base which is located on a fictitious group of islands, constantly under threat from bellicose neighbours. The campaign to defend the islands is comprised of various missions that range form pushing back an enemy air attack, destroying various targets, escort assignments etc.</p>
<p>The game comes with a simple graphical front-end that allows to select scenarios to play. There is a total of fourteen missions, which may be completed in any order. Action can take place at dawn, noon or nighttime. Some missions start on the runway while others in mid-flight. The FST engine allows for basic navigation via beacons that show the general direction of major sites and installations on the map relative to the player's position, with beacon frequencies described in the game manual. But other than that, the game encourages a more or less sandbox approach, with the player free to fly around and try out different things.</p>
<p><em>Skyhawk Attack</em> was released as freeware by its author.</p>

<p><em>Mines</em> is a text adventure in which the player must explore all "rooms" of a mine and try to uncover all treasure. The game is randomized on each play through with a different map layout, item locations and puzzles. The text parser is very simple as it only understands six cardinal directions, drop, carry and "way out" which gives to direction to go in to go back to the entrance. When carrying the correct item puzzles will resolve automatically.</p>

Space Chase: The Wild Adventures of Jason Storm - Part One DEMO: Hero for Hire!

<p>This is a pre-release demo of the shareware game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/57987/space-chase-part-one-city-under-siege/">Space Chase</a>, featuring one exclusive level called Gateway. The player's objective is to guide the game's protagonist, Jason Storm, through an orbital station infested with enemies, and capture the villain Mr. Big with a shipment of Planet Buster Bombs. The demo showcases basic game mechanics and a portion of the enemy roster from the full game.</p>
<p>Although technically a demo, <em>Hero for Hire</em> was distributed on shareware terms. Shareware vendors could make physical copies thereof (usually on floppy disks) and sell at a reasonable price, on the condition that they would replace it with the full <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/57987/space-chase-part-one-city-under-siege/">shareware episode</a> once that became available.</p>

<p>This is a rewrite of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/169029/flip-it/">Flip-It</a>.</p>

<p><em>The Continuing Adventures of CyberBox</em> is an unofficial sequel to the block-pushing puzzle game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/152725/cyberbox/">CyberBox</a> by a different author. Unlike <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/159970/cyberbox-ii/">Cyberbox II</a>, which is the direct sequel made by <em>CyberBox</em>' creator, <em>The Continuing Adventures of CyberBox</em> takes a more conservative approach to the original playing mechanics, although new elements are introduced as well, and adds more puzzles by various authors, including the original <em>CyberBox</em> levels by Doug Beeferman. The main difference is that each level/room is still confined to one screen, while <em>Cyberbox II</em> introduced much larger levels.</p>
<p>As in <em>CyberBox</em>, the objective of each level is to guide the player character to the room's exit through a maze, blocked by various boxes that can be moved according to different rules: some may only be pushed vertically, some only horizontally, and some move only when they are pushed by an adjacent box and not by the player. Unlike <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1715/soko-ban/">Soko-Ban</a>, <em>The Continuing Adventures</em> introduces boxes that can be pulled but not pushed, again, only in certain directions depending on which sides have "handles" for the player to hold on to. Similar to the original <em>CyberBox</em> games, boxes can be pushed in stacks.</p>
<p><em>The Continuing Adventures of CyberBox</em> was first marketed as shareware: the basic game was free to download and distribute, but users could order the Deluxe Version with even more rooms and the ability to load and play custom levels. Even though the free basic game included the level (room) editor, users could only create and playtest their own levels, but not load the creations of others. In 2011, author Edward D. Collins made the Deluxe Version free to download as well.</p>

<p><em>Classic Jumpman</em> is an unofficial, unlicensed remake of Epyx' PC Booter game <a href="/search/?q=Jumpman">Jumpman</a>, created as a replacement that would be compatible with more modern PCs. It updates the graphics to 256-colour VGA, and adds optional Sound Blaster music and sound effects. In all other aspects, the game tries to recreate the levels and playing mechanics of the original <em>Jumpman</em> as close as possible.</p>
<p><em>Classic Jumpman</em> was released as a free download by its authors.</p>

<p><em>Bust Hillary 3D</em> is a first-person shooter game, created with the ACKNEX virtual game toolkit. The player takes on the role of Col. Lance Bogle, who enters an underground compound full of Secret Service agents in order to find ten folders containing evidence against Hillary Clinton. Two weapons are available, a pistol and a machine gun. There are three kinds of pickups: the secret folders, ammo clips, and medikits which replenish health depleted by enemy shots. The game has a time limit of 15 minutes.</p>

<p><em>Hungry?</em> is a clone of the <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/ataxx-variants">Ataxx</a> board game. All graphics in the game are in text mode. There are two difficulty levels for the computer opponent, but there is no two-player mode. </p>
<p>The players start with two tokens in the opposite corners of a 8x8 board. In each turn, a player can clone his piece onto an adjacent square (horizontally, vertically or diagonally), or move a piece two squares in a specific direction. If a piece is placed on a square adjacent to the opponent's pieces, all of them get converted to the player's color. The game ends once the players have no more moves, at which point the player with more pieces is the winner.</p>

<p>In <em>Xeno Ball</em>, the devious Gorgo Zola has kidnapped princess Lea Urbana, but our courageous hero, Xen O'Ball, who rather looks like <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/group/529/zool-series/">Zool</a> minus the body, jumps into his space ship and goes on an adventure to save her!</p>
<p>The game is split into levels (60 in total), and the goal of each level is to reach the end zone. The protagonist of the story is a ball, and you have no direct control over him; he simply follows the rails like a pinball and never stops. Your only possible interaction is to place different types of tiles on the playing field, like in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2112/pipe-dream/">Pipe Mania</a>, with the ability to select the tiles with the keyboard function keys.
Some tiles will fall off after Xen has passed them, and others are missing from the beginning, forcing you to build a path for him so he doesn't fall into space. You have several tiles at your disposal, which can turn some elements, like fans and flamethrowers on or off, change the direction of travel, teleport Xen to another location or flip him over to a neighbouring track.</p>
<p>A little scene plays between the levels (although these repeat after a few of them), and you are given a password to resume your progress.</p>

<p><em>JetSet Miner Willy-PC</em> is a PC remake of platform games from the <em>Miner Willy</em> series. It includes the games <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Manic+Miner">Manic Miner</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Jet+Set+Willy">Jet Set Willy</a>, as well as several fan-made levelsets by various authors, most of which were originally released for ZX Spectrum: </p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Join+the+Jet-Set">Join the Jet-Set</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=JetSet+Willy+III">JetSet Willy III</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Willy's+New+Hat">Willy's New Hat</a></li>
<li>"Manic Miner 7" (original levelset created for the remake, based on the author's unfinished ZX Spectrum mod)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Jet+Set+Willy:+The+Deadly+Mission">The Deadly Mission</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Jet+Set+Willy:+Willy's+Holiday">Willy's Holiday</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Jet-Set+Willy+in+Space">Willy in Space</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Jet+Set+Willy:+The+Continuing+Adventures">The Continuing Adventures</a></li>
</ul>
<p>All these fan-made levelsets (except for "Manic Miner 7") are distributed with the game as ZX Spectrum ROM files, from which the game reads level data. Two "bonus" levelsets are also available to play from the main selection screen, although their ROM files must first be downloaded from the game's website:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Willy+the+Hacker">Willy the Hacker</a>, labelled in the game as "JSW Hack"</li>
<li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=J4">J4</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The games play identically to the originals: The player's goal is to collect all the items, while avoiding monsters and stationary hazards. In the <em>Manic Miner</em> games, the player must collect all items in a room to be able to progress. In the <em>Jet Set Willy</em> games, the player can freely move between rooms. </p>
<p>The program keeps track of the score (items collected) in each of the <em>Jet Set Willy</em> games. Additionally, a special challenge is included. If the player manages to collect a large score in all the <em>Jet Set Willy</em> games and complete both the <em>Manic Miner</em> games, the Banyan Tree on the game selection screen will grow and reveal a door. The door has to be opened with secret keys hidden in the <em>Manic Miner</em> games. Entering the door allows the player to reach a special ending.</p>

<p><em>Concentration</em> is a 1 - 2 player tile-matching puzzle for multiple systems based upon the classic TV show.</p>
<p>Each player takes turns trying to find matches among a series of tiles. There are 3 levels of difficulty that define the board size. The game continues until all shapes are matched, with the player getting the most matches the winner.</p>

<p>This platforming arcade-styled game takes Snow White in nine episodes to survive the wrath of the Evil Queen and every monster and hazard throughout, using magic rings for projectile weapons and collecting items for bonus points.</p>

<p><em>Globber</em> is a variant of the board game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/ataxx-variants">Ataxx</a>. Both players begin with two pieces in opposite corners of the board, and in each turn, a player can clone his piece onto an adjacent square, or move a piece to any place two squares away. If a player's piece is placed on a square adjacent to the opponent's piece, all of them get turned to the player's color. Once the board is full, the winner is the player who has more pieces. </p>
<p>Two board sizes are available, 7x7 and 10x10. The "Density" setting controls the amount of squares (chosen randomly) which are impassable to either player. </p>
<p>The game comes both in "VGA" and "CGA/EGA" versions, which differ in the number of colors used (256 and 4 colors, respectively). In both versions, the player can use alternate graphics which make the game easier to play on a monochrome monitor. In the VGA version, a plasma-effect background with color cycling is displayed during the game.</p>

<p><em>Flux</em> is a variant of the board game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/ataxx-variants">Ataxx</a>. Both players begin with two pieces in opposite corners of the board, and in each turn, a player can clone his piece onto an adjacent square, or move a piece to any place two squares away. If a player's piece is placed on a square adjacent to the opponent's piece, all of them get turned to the player's color. Pieces which are not adjacent to an opponent piece are worth 2 points, all others are worth 1 point. Once the board is full, the winner is the player who has more points. </p>
<p>Four board sizes are available, from 7x7 to 13x13, as well as three difficulty levels.</p>

<p><em>Super Roco Bros.</em> is a side-scrolling arcade platform game that is vaguely similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7298/super-mario-bros/">Super Mario Bros</a>., but not an exact copy. The player controls a cartoonish character called Roco Roco, a hot dog chef who is transported to an alternate dimension in search of his elder brother Pepe Roco. On his quest, Roco Roco will need to overcome numerous minions of his arch nemesis, the giant peanut Peano, before facing this threat himself.</p>
<p>Gameplay consists of navigating the levels, collecting coins and defeating enemies by jumping on top of them.</p>
<p><em>Super Roco Bros.</em> was marketed as shareware. The shareware / demo version contains just four levels out of 16 in the registered game. It was created with the DIV Games Studio development kit, and shares similarities with the sample game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/40043/the-castle-of-dr-malvado/">The Castle of Dr. Malvado</a>.</p>

The game features destructible environments (including both terrain collapse and burning), fluid dynamics (such as water flowing, spilling and pooling), and configurable physics simulation, including variable gravity and air resistance.</p>
<p>Wings can be played in split-screen, LAN, Internet, modem or serial multiplayer, and the author has released a modding tool for adding custom ships to the game. It is succeeded by a sequel, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/30979/wings-2/">Wings 2</a>.</p>

<p>The player controls a plump farmer, whose objective in each level is to collect all eggs within a set time limit while avoiding roaming emus and the duck. The level layouts generally reproduce those from <em>Chuckie Egg</em>, but as the game world is rendered in true 3D, it is possible to switch between three view modes: the classic mode that shows more or less the entire level; the close up view that zooms in on the player character; and what is misleadingly called the "first person" view by the electronic manual, which places the camera behind the player character.</p>
<p>Being a tech demo, <em>Chickie Egg</em> has no sound effects or music, no save game feature or a permanent scoreboard. However, the game keeps track of the highest score during each session, and allows the user to redefine control keys.</p>

The player controls a snake that moves around the playing field (which does not exceed the size of a single screen) and grows longer as it eats various food items that are lying around. Unlike the basic <em>Nibbles</em>, these food items do not appear randomly on the screen but are all pre-placed, and a level is complete once the snake eats all these items (each worth a specified amount of points depending on type/appearance) and navigates to the exit before the countdown timer reaches zero.</p>
<p>Additionally, the game introduces other elements that make it more puzzle-like, including impassable walls that can transform the playing field into a maze, and blocks which the snake may push around to open up passages or create extra bonus items worth additional points when two blocks are pushed together. There are also special items that produce various effects when picked up, such as permanently decreasing the snake's length or temporarily granting the ability to move through solid walls.</p>
<p><em>Glizda</em> comes with 50 pre-made levels split into five episodes 10 levels each, as well as a level editor and an episode editor for users to create their own campaigns (up to 100 levels). The game was available as a free download from the author's website alongside the entire source code.</p>

<p><em>Wall Street Wizard</em> is a German stock market simulation. Up to six human players compete against each other or against computer-controller opponents; the game supports local multiplayer via hotseat as well as multiplayer via null-modem cable and modem. One of the special features of <em>Wall Street Wizard</em> is that modem mode allegedly works cross-platform, i.e the Amiga version of the game can connect to either the ST version or the DOS version, and vice versa. </p>
<p>Players get to define a persona by distributing points in four categories (appearance, money, health and luck), thus slightly altering play strategies. The bulk of the game is spent on the trade floor buying and selling shares of fictional companies while the clock ticks (about 12 real-time minutes per round per player!). <em>Wall Street Wizard</em> tries to simulate the buzz and shouted offers of a real trade floor. Once trading had ended, each player gets to invest in strategic activities such as gathering intelligence via newspapers and economic forecasts, investigating or sabotaging other players and improving one's health or appearance.</p>
<p>The game ends once the first player has reached the freely selectable goal, e.g. accumulated a certain amount of wealth.</p>
<p>The game was originally released in late 1988 for Amiga and Atari ST and ported to the PC in 1989. Also available was a separately sold editor that allowed users to alter several of the simulation's parameters as well as edit companies and their interdependencies. This editor came with a '89 scenario (the game's original scenario is set in 1988).</p>

<p><em>Toledo Atomchess</em> with CGA graphics is a lightweight, freeware chess program for one player that pays homage to the popular TV series <em>The Queen's Gambit</em>. The game generally plays by the standard international chess rules, however, pawns can be only promoted to queens, and castling is allowed when the king is in check. The user is always playing white. There are no difficulty settings, undo move or similar options, or a scoreboard.</p>
<p><em>Toledo Atomchess</em> is distributed as freeware (free for non-commercial usage).</p>

<p><em>Snow Palace</em> is a snow-themed <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1715/soko-ban/">Soko-Ban</a> variant with a twist: the playing field is covered with ice, so if a box (ice block in this game) is pushed by the player it will not just move one tile at a time, but slides across the field until it reaches the edge or bumps into an obstacle.</p>
<p>The plot of the game is that the player is part of an expedition that explores a mountaintop palace. The place's magic transforms the player character into a statue, and to escape and get back to normal, a series of rooms must be traversed, each room unlocked by placing ice cubes on top of red switches. The game has five levels.</p>
<p><em>Snow Palace</em> was written in QuickBasic and released as freeware by its author.</p>

<p><em>Timebound</em> is a 1-player educational game for multiple systems</p>
<p>Well Doctor, Anacron's done it again. You warned him to stay away from the Time Machine. You warned him of the danger, but did he listen? No! He never listens. Now he's in big trouble - trapped in a time loop - tumbling out of control, between the year 0 and the year 2000! And only you can save him!</p>
<p>The player controls the time scanner, which moves in a circle around the oncoming time warp. The player can move forwards or backwards in time between the years 0 and 2000. On the journey they encounters time events. Different positions about the warp have different types of events, which are randomized each game. Each time event tells Anacron's location, and an event from the player's current time. The player tries to reach the time event Anacron is in, but he'll keep slipping to different times as the player chases him. </p>
<p>There are 11 levels of difficulty, which determine how long the player has to find Anacron.</p>

<p><em>'Ghini Run</em> is a sprite-based behind-view arcade street racing game that pays homage to SEGA's <a href="/search/?q=OutRun">OutRun</a>. The player takes part in various driving challenges, steering the car with a simple combination of accelerate, brake and left/right turn keys.</p>
<p>There are four game modes:</p>
<ul>

<li>Shotgun Run - racing tournament spanning over four to six tracks</li>
<li>Time Attack - racing against time on any track</li>
<li>Pursuit - play as the police and hunt down illegal racers</li>
</ul>

<p><em>'Ghini Run</em> was coded in QuickBasic and released as freeware.</p>

<p><em>Player Manager 2: Extra - The Chase For Glory</em> is an updated version of <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13856/player-manager-2/">Player Manager 2</a>. A knockout and challenge mode have been added. The former allows to take on human opponents in a league, the latter to see how many points the player can get, with more points resulting in better offers from other clubs. Besides this, the game features various graphical and cosmetic enhancements, real player names and the option to customize them.</p>

<p><em>Xplosive</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Bomberman">Bomberman</a>-like game for one to four players. It offers no major deviations from the original formula: each of the players controls a character (here they're represented by rabbits) who is able to plant timed bombs that can destroy walls, roaming monsters and the players themselves if they're not careful to avoid the path of the blast. Destroying certain wall blocks will reveal powerups that can be picked up to increase movement speed, blast radius, the number of bombs that can be planted at a time etc.</p>
<p><em>Xplosive</em> features two game modes called Duel Game and Level Game. The former means free-for-all battles between human players on randomly generated levels (with or without AI-controlled monsters), and the latter is a single-player or cooperative mode across a set of pre-defined levels where the main objective is to clear each stage of monsters.</p>
<p><em>Xplosive</em> was originally marketed as shareware, with the unregistered version including only fifteen levels for single or two-player cooperative play, and two-player duel mode with pre-defined settings that could not be changed. The registered game allows up to four players in duel mode with customised settings (like turning monsters on and off), and includes several level sets of increasing difficulty, as well as a level editor for players to create their own levels and even sets. In the early 2000s, the developers made the full registered version available as a free download.</p>

<p><em>Husita</em> is a historical real-time strategy game set during the Hussite Wars, the religious military conflict that raged over medieval Bohemia in the early 15 century. The single-player mode features separate campaigns for both the Hussites and the Crusaders, as well as 25 custom scenarios, and multiplayer games allow for up to 8 players compete over network.</p>
<p>Visually, <em>Husita</em> is rather similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/1339/warcraft-ii-tides-of-darkness/">Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness</a>, especially in the look of unit and structure sprites. However, the way the economy is managed is closer to that in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/13502/seven-kingdoms/">Seven Kingdoms</a>: there are no natural resources to be mined or harvested, and to raise an army, the player needs sufficient population, money collected by taxing the subjects, and food to provided sustenance. Like in <em>Seven Kingdoms</em>, population grows over time, and additional subjects may join the player's side from nearby villages. On top of that, villagers have a mood/loyalty rating which is an important metric to watch, as unhappy citizens might very well rebel against their master.</p>
<p><em>Husita</em> was sold commercially. A level editor was included with the game, and a further update also added a unit stats editor.</p>

<p><em>Tower of Fortune</em> is a first-person party-based fantasy role-playing game which bears many similarities to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/819/tales-of-the-unknown-volume-i-the-bards-tale/">The Bard's Tale</a> series. The plot revolves around a ruined tower that had been inhabited by a mighty archmage centuries before, and is rumoured to be full of immense treasures. Lured by the prospect of fame and riches, adventurers of all sorts flock to the nearby village of Green Wood to launch their expeditions into the tower.</p>
<p>Similar to <em>The Bard's Tale</em>, the game starts at an inn where the player can create characters to assemble a party of up to six adventurers, or use the default pre-generated party. There are seven races and eight classes available, with the choice of a character's class depending on the stats rolled for that character. The village also has several shops to buy supplies and gear, as well as a bank.</p>
<p>Movement in <em>Tower of Fortune</em> is tied to a grid, and combat is turn-based. The first-person view of the immediate surroundings is complemented by an overhead map of the area that gets automatically updated as more terrain is uncovered. The game features a day/night cycle with palette swaps for different hours. Shops and other services will be closed at night.</p>
<p>As the player explores the game world, encounters with hostile characters and monsters occur, switching to the combat phase where the player gives orders to each of the characters every turn. Defeating these opponents yields experience points and treasure to further strengthen the party.</p>
<p><em>Tower of Fortune</em> was written in QuickBasic and features 256 colour graphics, Sound Blaster sounds and MIDI music by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,182288/">Bjorn Lynne</a>. The released version 1.1 includes the first quest, The Sewers.</p>

<p><em>Chenard</em> is a freeware, open source chess program. It can be played against the computer of varying difficulty, between two human players at the same computer, or watched as two computer opponents play against each other. The computer's playing strength can be specified before a match by either setting a time limit for making a decision for the next turn, or by specifying the strength level in plies.</p>
<p>The program has several advanced, quality-of-life features, including the option to save and load the current in-game position by pressing F2 and F3, respectively, and the possibility to undo the current move by pressing Backspace.</p>
<p><em>Chenard</em> was released as freeware by its author along with the complete source code of the game.</p>

<p><em>TerraScape: Breakdown Velocity</em> is an arcade-style third-person shooter game that can be best described as a clone of and/or tribute to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/635/terminal-velocity/">Terminal Velocity</a>. The player controls a futuristic aircraft viewed from behind, flying over open terrain and attacked by hostile ground and air forces from all sides. Similar to <em>Terminal Velocity</em>, destroyed enemy structures and vehicles sometimes drop various powerups like weapon ammo or shield recharge. All in-game objects are rendered in true 3D. There is no first-person view, and the game can be only controlled with the keyboard.</p>
<p>The background story paints a rather typical picture of mankind's dystopian future. The year is 2503 A.D., and global pollution has forced the Earth's population into overcrowded megacities ruled by fascist corporations. As national governments fail, the only force that tries to maintain world peace and order is a global military alliance known as "The Initiative".</p>
<p>The plot begins as the Corporates launch simultaneous nuclear attacks at the world's major cities, and the Initiative mounts an aerial counter-strike. The player takes on the role of Shara O'Neal, the Initiative's best pilot, at the helm of their advanced fighter craft called the Avatar. Standing against overwhelming odds, Shara and the Avatar are the key piece in the new global war for the fate of the free world.</p>
<p>The single-player campaign is split into missions with various objectives. Each mission is introduced by a briefing with a short description of targets and enemy types that populate the level, very similar to <em>Terminal Velocity</em>. As the mission starts, the player is free to explore the map, with all objects marked on a tactical radar display. Initially, the Avatar is armed only with the default weak but fast-firing weapon with unlimited ammo, with more powerful weapons salvageable from wreckage of enemy structures and vehicles. Enemy fliers and ground vehicles hunt the player until the mission is complete, again like in <em>Terminal Velocity</em>.</p>
<p><em>TerraScape: Breakdown Velocity</em> was written in QuickBasic and released as freeware. The source code of the game is also available.</p>

<p>It is the year 2400. Humankind has terraformed and colonized Mars. Over 1 million people live on Mars, when the contact to earth is cut off. A civil war starts, between the States of Mars, for the resources and the territories. At the height of the war, a comet is discovered en-route to Mars. A catastrophe is imminent. The citizens of Terra Inc., a huge industrial hive-city, build a railway network to move their city to the Southern hemisphere of the planet to escape the meteor. Too bad that the states on the Southern hemisphere will do everything in their power to fight You, and your city. Your mission is to fight the Southern states, and get to safety.</p>

<p><em>Nigel's World: Adventures in Geography</em> is an edutainment game where the main character, Nigel the Scotsman, needs to travel the world and take photographs of various subjects in an attempt to win first place in a photography contest. Nigel has a limited amount of time in each mission to take as many relevant pictures as possible and turn them in before the deadline. Part of the gameplay is figuring out where to go based on the clues and directions provided.</p>

<p><em>Tom Throop's Bridge Baron II</em> is a 1 - 2 player bridge tutor and card game for multiple systems.</p>
<p>The player chooses from over 1,000,000 possible bridge hands.</p>

<p><em>Trivial Pursuit: The Computer Game</em> is an entry in the <em>Trivial Pursuit</em> series. This one has over 30 categories, and boasts that the player can create their own editions by mixing and matching categories. The game contains questions from several Trivial Pursuit board games, including the 1980s edition.</p>

<p><em>Pro League Baseball '97</em> is a baseball simulation. You can play games at 32 ballparks, both past and present, each with multi-screen views. Players can create their own roster, including drafting and trading, or use a team from the past 92 years. There are complete batting, pitching and fielding stats for each player.</p>
<p>The game features both a simulation and an arcade mode. In simulation mode, you are playing as the coach and manager of your team, or teams, and have a variety of strategy options during a game. In arcade mode you can actually choose the direction to throw or hit the ball as well and even can do so from a first person perspective.</p>
<p>It uses rotoscoped animated graphics.</p>

<p><em>FlipOut</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> variant that attempts to bring in certain features from pinball. The basic ball-bouncing mechanics with the horizontal paddle controlled by the player are the same as in <em>Breakout</em>, but instead of the usual rectangular blocks to be destroyed, there are objects of varying shapes called GeoMex that are arranged in intricate patterns on the playing field, interspersed with indestructible "walls" at different angles. The objective of each level is to clear it from all GeoMex, which will open the ceiling and thus the way for the ball to the next level that is literally above the previous one.</p>
<p>Conversely, if the ball falls trough the bottom of the screen, it is taken back to the lower/previous level, from which it will need to go up again. For this reason, the game starts on the third level, with the possibility of falling back down to the previous two. Because of this mechanic, there are no lives or tries in this game. Unlike <em>Breakout</em>, the bottom of the screen in every level is initially completely blocked off by destructible surfaces, which should prevent the ball from falling down too early. There are no bonuses that fall out of destroyed blocks.</p>
<p><em>FlipOut</em> is sold as shareware, with the unregistered version allowing to play four levels out of fifteen in the full game.</p>

<p><em>Aztec Maze</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> variant that replaces the protagonist with an archaeologist called Adventure Bob who collects treasure in an Aztec tomb while being chased by evil spirits. Bonus fruit items are replaced by "idols". The game offers no other deviations from the classic <em>Pac-Man</em> formula, with a similar maze layout and powerups that temporarily render the ghosts helpless.</p>
<p><em>Aztec Maze</em> was sold as shareware, with just two out of ten levels in the unregistered version. The game was created with the DIV Games Studio suite, and appears to be directly based on the template of a sample <em>Pac-Man</em> clone that was included with it.</p>

<p><em>Cyberstreet</em> is a first-person shooting tech demo of Criterion Studios' RenderWare 3D engine. Armed with a <a href="/search/?q=Doom">Doom</a>-like chaingun with infinite ammo, the player appears in a small alley with the objective to clear it from rats that spawn at regular intervals. The rats roam around randomly but try to run away if hit by gunfire. The game is over once all rats are gone.</p>
<p>The player is controlled primarily by mouse with some keyboard keys acting as mouselook modifiers, and can look in any direction and also crouch. Additionally, there is a demo mode where the camera slowly flies around the alley. One of the doors in the alley leads to a secret room with an animated human figure walking around.</p>

<p><em>Total Knockout: Championship Female Boxing!</em> is a boxing game featuring an international all-female cast, presented as high-resolution pre-rendered sprites. The player's character is viewed from behind, with only a transparent green outline visible, similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/7987/toughman-contest/">Toughman Contest</a> or <a href="/search/?q=Super+Punch-Out!!">Super Punch-Out!!</a>. Each match comprises two or three two-minute rounds, and is won by either knocking out the opponent or having more stamina left when the time runs out. In addition to left and right punches and blocks, every of the ten available fighters has her own special moves. Matches can be played against AI opponents with adjustable difficulty levels, or with other users over network.</p>

<p><em>Terra Incognita</em> is an action platformer. In 1776, the settlers of the just-founded city of Buenos Aires send a group of brave expeditionists to the faraway cold regions of the Tierra del Fuego peninsula. Unfortunately for them, their ship finds a tragic end in the icy southern Atlantic Ocean, and the only survivor (biologist Sebastian de Anchorena) will now have to find his way through the monster-infested Terra Incognita in order to get back home.</p>

<p><em>Tiles</em> is a text-mode adaptation of Mahjongg Solitaire. The player's goal is to clear the board of tiles by selecting pairs of identical tiles, with the limitation that each selected tile must be free from either the left or the right, and cannot have another tile on top of it. </p>
<p>The game contains seven levels with different initial board layouts. Once less than 8 tiles remain and no more moves are possible, the player can move on to the next level, but it is also possible to start from any level. </p>
<p>The player receives 20 points for every removed pair, and bonus points for completing the level. A hint feature is available, which points to a removable tile but also deducts 50 points from the score.</p>

<p><em>Girlfriend Terri</em> is an entry in the <em>Girlfriend</em> titles, a series of simulation games. Like the other girlfriends, you can start a conversation with her and ask her to perform certain actions. The girl replies using both voice and text and responds to the input of the player. She also remembers earlier conversations. The girl is shown through live action full motion video. HUD elements include the current location, time, mood, a system window, a window where text is entered and replies appear, and a status panel for syntax, semantics, response and voice.</p>
<p>This is an adult game including erotic images and activities.</p>

<p><em>Desperabis</em> is a first-person dungeon crawler similar in style to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/690/ultima-underworld-the-stygian-abyss/">Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss</a>, but with lighter RPG elements. It offers free gridless movement through 3D environments, action combat and various puzzles to solve in order to progress through the game. The story is structured into two acts, with one focused more on puzzles and the other more on combat.</p>

<p><em>Eat 'Em Up!</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Snake">Snake</a>/<a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Nibbles">Nibbles</a> variant with pre-set maze-like levels and slightly altered rules. The player controls a snake that moves around the screen and eats everything in its path. Items represented by a plus sign make the snake's tail one segment longer when eaten, minus signs have the opposite effect. The objective of each level is to clear the screen of all plus signs without bumping the snake's head into a wall or into its tail.</p>
<p>Unlike the original <em>Nibbles</em>, the snake starts every level at zero length, and starts growing as soon as it eats a plus item. If it bumps its head into the tail ("bites itself"), the level is instantly lost and restarted. However, if the snake bumps into a wall, it starts to slowly lose its vitality, represented by the vertical bar at the right side of the screen, which will regenerate as soon as the snake resumes its movement. The game keeps track of how many "steps" the snake moved before completing a level, and a replay is saved afterwards. Because of this puzzle-like approach, there are no lives, and the player can retry completing a level as many times as necessary.</p>
<p><em>Eat 'Em Up!</em> was marketed as shareware. The unregistered version contains the first 20 levels out of 100 in the full game. The levels may be played in any order.</p>

<p><em>SLASH'EM</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/820/nethack/">NetHack</a> variant that continues the development of an earlier variant, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/70773/slash/">SLASH</a>. As such, it is essentially similar to <em>NetHack</em>, but expands the game with new player roles, races, monsters and items. Additionally, <em>SLASH'EM</em> incorporates the high-resolution graphical user interface from <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/71150/allegrohack/">AllegroHack</a>, offering three graphical modes: large isometric tiles, large top-down tiles and small top-down tiles.</p>
<p>Like <em>SLASH</em>, <em>SLASH'EM</em> is a backronym that stands for <em>Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack - Extended Magic</em>. The game is free and open source, with "official" binaries provided by the author for several platforms, along with the source code.</p>

<p>Situated in the far North-West of Scotland, set among the barren, desolate but wildly beautiful highlands, the Arendarvon Castle not only has a long history stretching back into the Middle Ages, but has also been linked to a number of darker events associated with magic and alchemy. You follow the footsteps of the missing journalist who, writing an article about Arendarvon Castle, accidentally spoke the magic word from a translated medieval diary. The magic word, that released the powers stored long ago by Zazar the Great, transports you to the astral plane. Here you will meet Zazar the Great who wants you to retrieve the all-powerful cube of magic and the subtle spells associated with it. It was stolen from the Order half a millennium ago by Borozar. As the image fades, slowly the solid, daunting, form of Arendarvon Castle appears ahead.</p>
<p><em>The Secret of Arendarvon Castle</em> is a text adventure where you type in verb-noun commands with the keyboard to interact with your surroundings, such as "OPEN DOOR". To navigate your way through the locations in the game you uses the commands 'GO LEFT', 'GO RIGHT', 'GO AHEAD' and 'GO BACK'. You can leave out the verb 'GO' itself. If you give a direction only, the computer assumes that you want to go in that direction. Type 'LOOK' and it is not dark, you get the name and a description of your location. Besides, you are told what objects you see and whether there is someone else in the room. 'TURN' makes you turn in the specified direction.</p>
<p>When you type "EXAMINE" it will reveal what is in an object. With 'CLIMB' you climb on something. Use 'STRIKE' to damage objects and 'ATTACK' to weaken a person. If the door is locked, and you have the right key, you can unlock it with 'UNLOCK'. If the door is unlocked, and you have the right key, you can lock it with 'LOCK'. 'MEASURE' is to construct a map of the castle, and predict the situation of a secret passage in a blank spot on your map. If you want to do something with an object, type 'USE'. With 'TAKE' you get an object in your possession and 'DROP' to remove something from your possession. 'PUT' is to put an object into some other object. 'WAIT' is to do nothing. 'INVENTORY' tells you what you have in your possession. To know your rating of your progression so far, type 'SCORE'.</p>
<p>There is an option to save or load the game.</p>
<p>Originally it was a program typed in from a book. The first part of the book is a Guide to Arendarvon Castle and gives a detailed insight into its rich history. This is provided in a wealth of information that exists of newspaper clippings, journalists notes, maps and illustrations that can hold clues on how to proceed further in your quest. The second chapter is dedicated on the mechanics of an adventure game. The last chapter is about programming the game. The entire program has been divided into seven steps, one for each day; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. A basic listing program, named Decoder, that has an error checking routine built in, is included as well.</p>
<p>For those who did not want to type the whole program, it was also available separately on tape.</p>

<p>The game is described as an action game in which you are a contracted hunter in your flying craft, which initially takes place around Mars, where the human colony is being attacked by alien cyber organisms. The enemies are the indigenous Marsians living underground, called Naxraega, whose aim is to remove the humans from their planet. </p>
<p>Apart from the cyber organisms themselves, ultimately there is a factory creating the cyborgs that needs to be destroyed.</p>
<p>Destroying enemies results in credits to pick up that can be used for upgrades of your ship in the stores - found in friendly sky-bases, where you can get both clues to the story and purchase upgrades for your ship.</p>
<p>The second part of the game is presumably set around Saturn.</p>

<p><em>Cendric's Quest</em> is a graphical 1st person adventure, and a prequel to the game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/142460/serpenthead/">SerpentHead</a>, telling the story of how the SerpentScepter parts, a key item in the main SerpentHead game, was located and reassembled by the mage Cendric. This story is just a brief part of the longer intro to the SerpentHead game itself.</p>
<p>The game intro has King Mharim (protagonist of the SerpentHead game) retelling this story to his scribe Ritan, long after the events in the later SerpentHead game.</p>
<p>In the past 9-days war with dragons, 5 generations ago, a sceptre was instrumental in defeating the evil sorcerer Salorann in a battle with the Royal Mage Ophiuchus.
However, he was not killed, but only fled, and the mage Ophiuchus hid the sceptre parts in magically protected boxes in the Castle Irongate, to avoid it getting into the wrong hands.</p>
<p>Now Ophiuchus has died, while Salorann has magically prolonged his life and is planning to come back.
The current Royal Mage and Ophiuchus grandson, Cendric has had a premonition in a dream about Salorann returning to threaten the kingdom, and he needs to use the sceptre against Salorann when he reappears.</p>
<p>The player takes the role of Cendric, exploring and avoiding dangers set against him by Salorann, and with the goal of finding the three golden boxes containing the parts of the sceptre, hidden in the Castle Irongate, and reassemble them.</p>
<p>The DOS version was created with an updated version of the engine used in SerpentHead Deluxe, and the Windows version "Cendric's Quest '99" has different graphics where the game play area and story/dialogue windows are separated. The unregistered versions for DOS &amp; Windows has identical story &amp; puzzles. Both games end after recovering the first of the three parts of sceptre.</p>
<p>Registering the DOS game gave you a code to enter in the game, to enable the rest of the puzzles &amp; story, already included in the downloaded file.</p>
<p>The full Windows version of the game is mail delivered (after registering), on a CD bundled with "SerpentHead '99", called "The Chronicles of SerpentHead". It has more music &amp; puzzles added.</p>

<p><em>Diamond</em> is a simple <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a> variant. The player character is an adventurer whose aim is to grab as many diamonds as possible from the mines in the Andes.

<p>Post Apocalyptic Petra is a Tomb Raider clone without combat. The player assumes the role of Petra who wakes up in a strange facility and has to find a way out. The game controls very similarly to the original Tomb Raider, with keyboard-only "tank controls". Gameplay consists of environmental puzzles and platforming. Available moves include running, jumping, grabbing ledges and either pulling yourself up or shimmying along them.</p>
<p>The game has many different versions. It was designed to run on DOS but has also been ported to Windows, Linux, MacOS and Android.</p>

<p>High school student Lewis was been having a wonderful day. She's been hired to be the cover model of Eccenza, one of the top teen magazines, and offers for many other modeling gigs. But then a strange earthquake brings her school into another world. Where strange humanoid creatures roam, intent on killing her, and the vice-principal has declared martial law. At the center of it all is her stalker, Bauer, who seems to have brought forth this strange world.</p>
<p>So begins <em>Purgatory</em>, a RPG with a survival horror theme. Combat is done like a <a href="/search/?q=Final+Fantasy">Final Fantasy</a> game, but there are no towns or stores. Instead the player only gets items he finds lying around or can build from resources found/taken from dead enemies. Proper rationing of these item is key to surviving, as is avoiding combat by not touching enemies.</p>

<p><em>Voodoo Lunch</em> is a side-scrolling platform game that is very similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/999/skunny-in-the-wild-west/">Skunny: In The Wild West</a>, and appears to utilize the same engine. The main character, Twiggy, was born in a remote village in Zululand, from which he was banished as the other villagers thought his appearance to be a bad omen. Twiggy can only return if he collects enough treasure to appease the spirits.</p>
<p>The game is split into several episodes, each with a different theme. Similar to the <em>Skunny</em> platform games, the player must find and collect all treasure items to complete a level, while avoiding enemies and other hazards. Enemies can be attacked with boomerangs, which are in limited supply, but will respawn after some time.</p>
<p><em>Voodoo Lunch</em> was distributed as shareware, with the unregistered version limited to the first episode, Mine Monster. There are five episodes in the full game.</p>

<p><em>High Seas Homicide</em> is a detective adventure shareware game with graphics, controlled with the keyboard, mainly using text commands and arrow keys, and made with the MVP Software's GameBuilder tools.</p>
<p>You control the main character, Martin T. Berringer, a Scotland Yard detective on vacation aboard a cruise ship HMS Elias, who at the start of the game in his cabin, hears three gunshots from the ball room area. Now you have to find out who got shot &amp; catch a killer, by looking through the environment on the ship and talking to the people on board.</p>
<p>There is a short help text to get you started with the text commands, and actions; as is common with these games, you have to guess at most of the proper words to use. The clues you find may lead you to a suspect, and if correctly identified you get a reward - if you falsely accuse an innocent suspect, you are abandoned in a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean as a punishment, so beware.</p>

<p>Accidents in Paradise is a humorous action game where you fly a fighter plane through 3D environments, fighting off alien invaders. Controls are simple and standard for the genre: movement is controlled with the joystick and the guns shoot by pulling the trigger. The game is structured into several missions set on different maps, where the player has to shoot down a number of alien fighters above various landscapes. The maps are square and at their edges, the landscape just stops, with an empty void beyond, clearly marking the end of the playing field. There is some minor ship customization where the player can choose different loadouts before starting the game.</p>
<p>The story parodies various popular sci-fi franchises and their tropes, and there are a lot of funny radio transmissions during gameplay. The game marketed itself as a humorous alternative to more serious sci-fi games.</p>

<p><em>Space Nightmare</em> is a shareware scrolling shoot-'em-up in 16-colour graphics. The plot involves an alien invasion (this time, the extraterrestrials are after the world's copper deposits of all things), which the player, as a pilot in the Canadian forces, is tasked to repel in missions that take place both in the atmosphere and in the Earth's orbit. Unusually, the game offers two alternating game modes: vertical scrolling levels with one of three available ships in the "Earth" scenarios, and horizontal scrolling levels with a different, fourth ship when in space.</p>
<p>In the vertical-scrolling mode, the player selects one of three different ships. Each has a primary weapon with unlimited ammo and a supply of missiles. Typical of the genre, various powerups are scattered around the levels or fall out from destroyed enemies, granting extra ammo, weapon upgrades and other boosts to the player. In the side-scrolling space mode, there is only one player ship type, but it is accompanied by a satellite.</p>
<p><em>Space Nightmare</em> was marketed as shareware. The registered version has ten levels.</p>

<p><em>Lomax ColTris</em> combines <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Columns">Columns</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a> in a single package. The respective games are called "Col.ums" and "T.tris" in the menu, perhaps to avoid copyright infringement. Each can be played at one of five, progressively more difficult skill settings, with the higher ones adding new twists to the standard rules, like rockets that fly around the playing field in T.tris and randomly flip falling tetromino pieces. Each game is played in several rounds, with the player score adjusted after a round for any pieces left on the playing field.</p>
<p>Both games recycle many of the sprites that are found in other Lomax Software games, such as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/116085/stonebreaker/">StoneBreaker</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/49428/lomax-boulders/">Lomax Boulders</a>.</p>
<p><em>Lomax ColTris</em> was sold as shareware.</p>

<p><em>Westfront PC: The Trials of Guilder</em> is a text adventure in which the player completes quests in order to progress through the game. Version 6.25 of he game is spread over four continents with eight hundred and twenty-five rooms to explore, twenty quests and ninety three monsters to battle or rob. (There are later Windows versions of the game which are said to contain over seventeen hundred rooms.)<br>
The game, naturally, starts in a tavern where the player starts their adventure to raise an army and defeat the evil sorcerer Serlin.</p>
<p>Simple commands such as Up, Down, North, South, East and West can be abbreviated to a single letter while later versions allow multiple commands such as 'KILL DEMON AND GO SOUTH'. <br>
In the original design of the game if a player died the game ended and the player had to restart and replay from a saved game. Later this was changed and death put the player in purgatory until they could find a way to escape, all items were retained but all gold was lost.</p>

<p><em>Nukes3D</em> is a shareware, turn based, multiplayer game with the option for the computer to play as one or more of the players.</p>
<p>In this game players take turns to stalk each other in their tanks, and the last one standing wins. The shareware version allows four participants while the registered version caters for up to ten as well as having a greater range of weapons.</p>

<p>Freak Farm is a simple RPG where the player assumes the role of a tomato trying to escape from a farm filled with mutated vegetables and animals. Gameplay is very simple and consists of farming random encounters to level up, until you are strong enough to progress to the next area where tougher enemies await. Combat is similar to Wizardry, except with only one player character. You can attack, attempt to flee, or cast a spell. The attack becomes more powerful with each levelup, and new spells are likewise unlocked by leveling.</p>
<p>The game was made by a man nicknamed "Tomato-San" who lives in Arizona (where the game's farm is located) and was active in the Japanese-to-English game translation scene, having translated games like Bahamut Lagoon, Star Ocean, and Live a Live before he created this game.</p>

<p><em>Construction Bob Escapes from Hell</em> is the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/8707/construction-bob-in-the-bouncing-factory/">Construction Bob in the Bouncing Factory</a>. The titular character impulsively jumps into a gigantic hole that has inexplicably appeared, landing him in Hell. Damned by Satan to remain there for all eternity, Bob sets out to make his escape.</p>
<p>The gameplay varies between three types of levels, which loop with increasing difficulty. In "Hell's Mine Shaft", Bob jumps upward to the exit while dodging mine carts similar to Frogger. In "Coal Cart Highway", Bob rides a cart along a track, leaping over gaps and obstacles in his path. In "Pitchfork Bridge", Bob traverses a wooden bridge across lava while avoiding killer droplets falling from the ceiling.</p>
<p>In each of these stages Bob should also attempt to collect a key; together, these three keys unlock a ruby, 25 of which will allow him to escape Hell. As the game progresses, in addition to the gameplay getting more fast-paced, new obstacles will appear such as hands reaching up out of the lava to grab Bob, or Gargoyles and Satan himself appearing to shoot projectiles at him.</p>

<p><em>Dylan Dog: La Regina delle Tenebre</em> is an entry in the line of short action platformers starring Dylan Dog, "the nightmare detective". This time Dylan is going to find a mysterious woman who is calling to him in his dreams. Unfortunately his car gets stuck in the middle of nowhere, and now it's up to him and his trusty gun to find a way to the castle the lady is beckoning him to.</p>
<p><em>La Regina delle Tenebre's</em> gameplay is similar to the earlier <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/32777/dylan-dog-murderers/">Dylan Dog: Murderers</a> though the inventory management and item related puzzles of the earlier game are dropped out, replaced with occasional dialog choices when speaking to different denizens of this place.</p>

<p>Amy's Fun-2-3 Adventure is an educational game featuring the dog Amy, with four different game modes intended to teach children how to count and to play music.</p>
<p>The first game mode has the player click on a number from 1 to 10 on top of the screen. Then, Amy will perform some kind of action to illustrate the numer: throwing a ball up in the air as many times as the clicked number, barking as many times as the clicked number, etc. There's also voice acting that counts out the numbers: if you click on the number 5, for example, it will count out "One, two, three, four, five."</p>
<p>The second game mode is a little more involved. A machine displays a number in the middle, and groups of items on the left and the right. The player has to click on the item group that has as many items in it as the number in the middle. Clicking the correct group will drop a tasty treat from the machine for Amy to eat, while clicking the wrong group will make her whine with disappointment.</p>
<p>The third game mode features a xylophone on which the player can play music, as well as a selection of children's songs with instructions on how to play them.</p>
<p>The fourth game mode has Amy repair a castle wall destroyed by a dragon. To do that, the player has to place building blocks in the correct positions. Amy will count out numbers on her paws and the player has to drop the building block onto the slot with the correct number. If she holds up five fingers, the block has to be dropped on the slot with a 5 on it, for example.</p>

<p><em>Super Get'Em All</em> is an action game similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> or <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Lady+Bug">Lady Bug</a>, where the player assumes the role of a ladybug who has to pick up a certain percentage of items in the level before an opening appears in the walls at the edge of the level to allow progress to the next. Each level has different types of enemies that kill the ladybug when touched, and some levels feature special features such as bouncy walls that reverse your direction of movement upon touch. At the end of each level, the game tells the player the percentage of items that have been collected.</p>
<p>Movement happens with the arrow keys. Pressing an arrow key once makes the ladybug move into the arrow's direction at normal speed, pressing it a second time increases the speed to high. Pressing the arrow key that goes in the opposite direction makes the ladybug stand still, moving into the opposite direction requires another press of the arrow key. But moving in a ninety degree angle from the current direction is instantaneous, without stopping the ladybug in its tracks.</p>
<p>While the enemies and special features of a level are manually set, the level layouts are procedural. When the player dies and attempts the level again, its layout changes.</p>

<p><em>San Largo und die Insel</em> is a strategy game developed by the prolific German developer Motelsoft. The player commands the forces of San Largo on the quest to explore the hostile island of prince Khalid and return the magic disc he stole. The gameplay consists of exploring the island, trading with settlements to get money, and training soldiers to fight against Khalid. During the game, the queen of San Largo will occasionally make a request of the player which has to be fulfilled.</p>

<p><em>Master Mind</em> is a clone of the classic Mastermind game, where the player has to correctly place colored pips into a row of holes. Once a row is filled, red and white marks will appear next to it: each red mark means you placed a color in its correct place, while a white mark means you placed the correct color but it's not in the right place.</p>
<p>Boards can have 5, 6, 7 or 8 holes. On the larger boards, colors can appear more than once, while on the smaller boards each color only appears once. The player has 13 tries to guess the correct combination.</p>

<p>Move It 2 is a puzzle game where the player has to arrange blocks on a board into specific patterns. The blocks can be moved one row at a time; each block in a row gets moved one space forward when a row is moved. There is no move limit, but the game offers the optional challenge of trying to solve each puzzle within a minimum amount of moves.</p>

<p>Howie Mandel takes the player to Old McDonald's Farm. The player can explore eight different locations in Tuneland. Basically the player just points and clicks at objects around Tuneland to trigger animations and to start up songs which consist mostly of nursery rhymes and other compositions.</p>

<p>Ultizurk is a role-playing game inspired by the classic Ultima series, made by solo developer Robert J. Deutsch who went by the moniker "Dr. Dungeon". In Ultizurk, the player controls a single pre-made character (there is no character creation) who is summoned by King Eldor to save his realm from the troubles it suffers from. Monsters roam the land and the sea is swarming with sea-dragons that attack shipping lanes, and the king wants to know where these creatures come from and wants the player to put an end to their invasion.</p>
<p>Gameplay is very similar to the early Ultima games. The player's character is displayed as a tiny stick figure like character and the viewport of the gameworld is very small, taking up only a quarter of the screen. Below the small viewport, the different commands are listed (look, talk, inventory, etc.), and when the player engages in dialog this is where the text appears. Dialogs use a keyword system where the player types in words and NPCs respond with what they know about that word. Combat is a very simple affair: walk next to an enemy and press A to attack. Enemies don't move, so unless the player chooses to engage them, they will not attack on their own.</p>

<p>Ultizurk II: The Shadow Master is the sequel to Dr. Dungeon's first Ultizurk game and was released in the same year. It uses the same engine with the same tiny viewport and the same controls. Like its predecessor, its main inspiration are the early entries of the classic Ultima series.</p>
<p>The main gameplay improvement in Ultizurk II is that monsters now move rather than standing in place waiting for the player to approach, making it harder to avoid them. Other than that, it plays pretty much the same as the first Ultizurk: dialog uses a keyword system, there is no character creation, and the player only controls a single character.</p>
<p>The biggest difference is in setting: while the first Ultizurk was a straight fantasy game, the sequel mixes it with some science fiction elements - the intro mentions a mysterious message from Andromeda, while the game is set on an alien planet to which the player has been teleported by magic.</p>

<p><em>Laybrynth of Zeux</em> is a shareware platformer where you have to hunt keys and avoid enemies to reach the exit on each level. The story is very simple: the player assumes the role of renowned theologian Vince M. Louis, who has studied every single religious item in existence... except for one, the Staff of Zeux. This mystical artifact is located in the Labrynth of Zeux, so Vince heads there to get his hands on the item and study it.</p>
<p>The graphics are very simple, but the gameplay can be pretty challenging in some levels. The player moves with the arrow keys, jumps with the space key, and can drop bombs with the DEL key. The escape key suicides the character in case the player got himself stuck, but this option should be used sparingly as the game has a limited amount of lives (which can be stocked up by finding an extra life item). Despite the arcade style life system, the game allows saving and loading at any point, allowing players to savescum if they want to.</p>
<p>The game features 50 levels to play through.</p>

<p><em>The Dezerian Assignment</em> is a shareware title where the player assumes the role of an agent sent to the arid world of Dezeria to retrieve a superweapon called the Galactic Vaporizer Device (GVD) which has been stolen by rebels and hidden in the tunnels beneath Dezeria's surface. The planet is divided into four quadrants with impassable walls between them, and the only way to pass from quadrant to quadrant is through an underground tunnel system. To reach the quadrant where the rebels hit the weapon, the player needs to get his hands on the red key, which is the titular RED KEY assignment.</p>
<p>Gameplay is focused around traversing the desert world of Dezeria in your car and making sure to keep yourself supplied with fuel, food and water. Traveling happens from a first person perspective within your car. Once you reach a location, your character exits the car and the game changes to a top-down perspective. Locations that can be visited include trading posts, where money can be exchanged for food, water, fuel, ammunition, and information - which is required to locate the Red Key. Up to sixteen items can be carried at once, some of which are useful in the quest, while others are only good for trade. Managing the inventory and resources is a core aspect of <em>Dezerian Assignment</em>'s gameplay.</p>

<p><em>Star Trek: The Last Generation</em> is an unlicensed <em>Star Trek</em> game distributed as freeware. You have just been promoted to captain and given command of the starship Enterprise. Your goal is to reach the wreck of the starship Saggitarius which contains several safes filled with valuable dilithium crystals. These crystals are an important source of energy, and without them the Federation fleet won't have enough fuel to defend against the Romulans who intend to annex some planets in the Federation's border region. To make things worse, the Romulans know about the wreck and its contents, so the Enterprise has to be quick and reach the Saggitarius before the Romulans do.</p>
<p>The game plays like an adventure game that involves a lot of "guess the right move" situations. The player will often find himself faced with a situation where the wrong action leads to the Enterprise's destruction, which restarts the game from the beginning. In the intro, the game explicitly tells the player to note down various details such as coordinates, safe codes, and stardates, because they are required to be typed in exactly later in the game. It relies heavily on trial and error as well as meticulous recordkeeping.</p>

<p><em>Continuum</em> is a first-person adventure game made by two high school students alongside their thesis. It was made with the Pie 3D Game Creation System, using the Pie in the Sky engine.</p>
<p>The game features first person exploration of flat plane 3D levels, conversations with NPCs and choices that can lead to different endings. While most of its gameplay is very standard adventure game fare mixed with some action, the most curious aspect of its gameplay is the "body toxicity level": it rises automatically with time and to get rid of it, the player has to use a toilet.</p>

<p><em>Portal of Worlds</em> is a very simple adventure game programmed in QBasic. The player enters a portal that leads to different worlds, and has to find a stone that unlocks the fourth world. Gameplay is extremely simple: each screen presents the player with a list of options, and progress is made simply by picking the correct one.</p>

<p><em>Portal of Worlds 2</em> is the sequel to <a href="/search/?q=Daniel+Eriksson">Daniel Eriksson's</a> first adventure, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/185594/portal-of-worlds/">Portal of Worlds</a>. Like the first game, it is a very simplistic text adventure in its gameplay. You walk from screen to screen, and each screen provides you with a list of actions to choose from. Simply type the number to perform the action. In most cases, only one of the different options progresses the game and the others are useless (examining the surroundings, for example, usually doesn't reveal anything of note).</p>

<p><em>Skyland's Star</em> is a classic parser-based text adventure that was freely distributed on electronic bulletin boards by its creators. The player assumes the role of a scientist attempting to solve Earth's energy crisis. All of Earth's natural resources have been used up, so if no alternative energy source is found, civilization will collapse. You are sent into the future with a time machine and tasked with finding out how future civilizations solved the energy crisis, then bring that technology back into the present.</p>
<p>The time portal will only stay open for ten hours, so the player has to keep careful track of the time. Gameplay is classic text adventure fare: explore the world, pick up items, talk to NPCs, and solve puzzles.</p>

<p><em>Virtua School</em> is a "school simulation" text adventure where you assume the role of a new kid at school and have to deal with all the problems teenagers usually have to deal with. Make friends, get good grades, and score with the chicks! It's a pretty simple "gamebook" style game where you're presented with a list of actions, which then lead to different consequences. The game keeps track of your number of friends, enemies, the money you have, and your grades.</p>

<p><em>Beasley's Deathtrap</em> is an extremely simple choose-your-own-adventure game based on pure trial and error. The game presents you with a situation and two possible options. You have to pick either option 1 or option 2 - one progresses the game and the other leads to your death. Finding the correct option usually relies on pure luck: do you take the left or the right path? Do you push the blue or the red button? There are no real hints towards which option is the correct one, so the only way to beat the game is to try out each option and note down which is the correct one, then restart from the beginning when you fail.</p>

<p><em>Fungal Man</em> is a puzzle game where you have to push fungi into so-called damper pods in order to destroy them. Both fungi and damper pods can be pushed by walking into them, like in classic <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Sokoban">Sokoban</a>-style games. There are also some power-ups, for example the "hyper" that allows you to switch places with an item next to you. And there are also objects that can kill you, such as landmines. The game's levels present you with challenging scenarios where you have to figure out how to move the fungus to the damper pod without dying.</p>

<p><em>The Fellowship of the Fleece</em> (aka <em>The Golden Fleece</em>) is a classic parser-based text adventure. The game has a theme of classical mythology: Zeus claims that all humans are mere playthings, while Hermes claims that he can find at least one among the humans whom Zeus would be proud to call brother. And so the bet is on: Zeus challenges Hermes to find a champion who can return the Golden Fleece to him. The game starts with the player finding himself in a dark room, and the goal to find the Golden Fleece, having been picked as Hermes' champion.</p>
<p>Despite the classical mythology backstory, the game also relies on some generic high fantasy tropes: the player will encounter creatures such as orcs and goblins.</p>

<p><em>Lunatix: The Insanity Circle</em> is a classic parser-based text adventure with a modernized interface and graphics. The player assumes the role of an asylum administrator. When the administrator is about to leave the asylum and go home, a strange man stops him at the exit - he has stolen the administrator's keys while he was taking a nap in the office! He will only return the keys if the administrator takes a pill the strange man gives him... and so begins the crazy psychedelic adventure of the Insanity Circle.</p>
<p>The game is a classic adventure featuring inventory puzzles and NPC conversations. All actions are performed by typing in what the player character should do. The game window is divided into three sections: a depiction of the current scene in the top left, a description of the current room in the top right, and the main text window at the bottom where the player types in commands and the results of actions are described.</p>
<p>Some actions can lead to the player's death, but the game allows undoing any action so the fatal decision can be undone and no progress is lost even if the player hasn't saved for a while.</p>

<p><em>Tanis</em> is a graphical text adventure with a mouse-driven interface. The scenario is based on an older text adventure named <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Deena">Deena</a>, created by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=E.+L.+Cheney">E. L. Cheney</a> between 1987-88. The player assumes the role of a female warrior who was captured by the evil Gendi, a monstrous race bent on subjugating the world. The player starts out in prison and has to escape before taking the fight to the Gendi.</p>
<p>Gameplay is similar to a classic text adventure, but instead of a text parser where commands are typed in, the player can bring up a list of available commands by pressing the space button instead, and then choose a verb with the mouse, followed by an object the verb should be used on. This streamlines the gameplay quite a bit, as it removes the "guess the verb" issue text adventures often suffer from. The game also has simple graphics displaying the room the player is currently in. Those graphics are completely static, however: if the illustration contains an item the player picks up, that item will stay in the image even though it's no longer there.</p>

<p><em>The Great Ultizurkian Underland</em> is another part of Dr. Dungeon's series of <em>Ultima</em> clones, Ultizurk. It is set between <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/185546/ultizurk-ii-the-shadow-master/">Ultizurk II</a> and <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/106457/ultizurk-iii-the-guildmasters-quest/">III</a> and while the non-numbered title implies it to be a spinoff, the story told in it is canon and ties the second and third games together. The title <em>Ultizurkian Underland</em> implies that it was inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/690/ultima-underworld-the-stygian-abyss/">Ultima Underworld</a>, but unlike that game it doesn't switch the perspective to first person: it runs in the exact same engine as the first two games, and uses the exact same keyword dialog system, tile-based movement, and simplistic real time combat.</p>
<p>The game begins when the protagonist finds a history book on the floor in his guildhall, which relays the geography and politics of the underland. Lord Thomas Baldwin is the ruler of the underland, which is located inside a dormant volcano with many caverns. The underland is accessed by climbing down the open top of the volcano. At the bottom of the hollow volcano rules Lord Henry, whose realm is almost as great as Lord Baldwin's. In between those two realms is the lush jungle realm of Queen Melissa, who is of the race of sirens. And within that complex underworld there lives the great archmage Leomund whose name you have heard before - from him you can receive instruction in magic lore. This Leomund is the one who placed that book in the protagonist's room, for he worries about recent events in the underland: people have been forming secretive guilds and communicating with passwords. He worries that a portal may soon be opened that could unleash evil into the underland, and so the protagonist ventures there to put an end to it.</p>

<p><em>Wraith</em> is a game by prolific solo developer Dr. Dungeon. It uses the same engine as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/106457/ultizurk-iii-the-guildmasters-quest/">Ultizurk III</a>, but it is not a part of the <em>Ultizurk</em> series.</p>
<p>The story has a fairy tale like vibe to it, with a backstory about a beautiful mermaid queen and her lover, and an evil sorcerer who ruined them. The player starts out in a cave, not knowing how he got there, and is approached by a wraith who looks very similar to that ancient mermaid queen, talking to the player as if they were lovers. At her behest, the player ventures deeper and deeper into the dungeon and uncovers the story bit by bit.</p>
<p>Unlike Dr. Dungeon's previous games, <em>Wraith</em> features full character creation. The player can choose their character's name, sex, and class. Available classes are fighter, druid, ranger, and paladin. The interface has also been majorly overhauled compared to Dr. Dungeon's earlier games: it is now fully mouse-driven with some optional keyboard hotkeys for certain actions. Combat is still a simple real-time affair: position the character next to an enemy and right click on it until it dies. There is no cooldown between hits, so the player can hit as quickly as their finger can hit the right mouse button. The dialog system has also been changed fundamentally: while Dr. Dungeon's earlier games used a keyword parser, <em>Wraith</em> has dialog trees instead. There are also plenty of new ways to interact with the environment, similarly to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/608/ultima-vii-the-black-gate/">Ultima VII</a>, like watering the ground to make flowers grow.</p>

<p><em>Ultizurk III Part II</em> continues where <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/106457/ultizurk-iii-the-guildmasters-quest/">Ultizurk III: The GuildMaster's Quest</a> left off. While the predecessor was distributed as shareware, <em>Part II</em> serves as the second chapter that could be purchased as the registered version. It uses the exact same engine and gameplay as the first part, and has the player control the duo of the Guildmaster and his companion Losi.</p>

<p><em>Madman</em> is an RPG by solo developer Dr. Dungeon of <em>Ultizurk</em> fame. It uses the same enhanced <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/106457/ultizurk-iii-the-guildmasters-quest/">Ultizurk III</a> engine as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/185698/wraith/">Wraith</a> (and, like <em>Wraith</em>, is a standalone game with its own self-contained story).</p>
<p>The player assumes the role of a character who lands his ship on a strange island. Some mad wizard cast a spell of forgetfulness upon the inhabitants, and it is up to the player to find out what's going on.</p>
<p>Gameplay is similar to Dr. Dungeon's previous game, <em>Wraith</em>. It has a mouse-driven interface and highly interactive environments akin to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/608/ultima-vii-the-black-gate/">Ultima VII</a>. Any object in the gameworld can be picked up or used. Conversations involve picking questions from a list, which NPCs will then reply to. Combat is a simple real-time affair of walking next to an enemy and clicking on it until it's dead. The game features custom character creation where the player can choose the sex and class of his character. Available classes are fighter, druid, ranger, and paladin.</p>
<p>The game was remade in 2017 as <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/106566/dr-dungeons-madman/">Dr. Dungeon's Madman!</a>.</p>

<p><em>Breakin</em> is a <a href="/search/?q=Breakout">Breakout</a> variant for one or two players, with very few deviations from the classic formula of the genre. The player's objective in each level/screen is to break all blocks by hitting them with a ball that bounces around and can be directed with the player's paddle. The ball bounces off walls and the blocks that it hits, constantly changing its direction. Should the player fail to deflect the ball and it falls through the bottom of the screen, the paddle is lost. If no spare paddles are left, it's game over.</p>
<p>Some blocks take more than one hit to destroy, and some will drop various powerups (and possibly power-downs as well) that the player may catch with the paddle to gain a temporary advantage, such as a ball that breaks through any number of blocks without bouncing off of them, or extra balls, or laser cannons on the paddle which may also be used to destroy blocks, and so on. As is traditional for the genre, the powerups are marked with different letters of the alphabet, and players are left to discover on their own which does what. Additionally, there are moving creatures that regularly appear from the top of the screen, that roam around randomly and may be hit by the ball for extra points, but will also change its direction as it bounces off upon impact.</p>
<p><em>Breakin</em> was sold as shareware. The registered version includes over 50 levels, a level editor and the option to access any level by entering a code in the main menu.</p>

<p>A child has gone missing and detective Mike Rock has been hired to solve the case. Rock has to travel across the local highways in order to find out what has happened to the child, dodging deadly hitchhikers and avoiding all the usual unfortunate ends.</p>
<p>Parts of <em>Detective Mike Rock</em> are a standard <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/122/kings-quest/">King's Quest</a>-style adventure game, but get outside of a building and there are overhead driving sections. The whole game is controlled by the keyboard. Move by pressing a button, stop by pressing it again. Interactions with the world around you are done by typing, which pauses whatever action is going on-screen at that moment.</p>

<p><em>Gargoyle Medieval Pack</em> is a collection of three arcade games sharing the same theme of elves defending against the onslaught of gargoyles. These games tell the story of how the elves take back their kingdom from the oppressive gargoyles, in chronological order:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Gargoyle</em> - similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Kaboom!">Kaboom!</a> The elves must catch fireballs thrown by gargoyles using buckets of water.</li>
<li><em>Gargoyle Revenge</em> - similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9441/bouncing-babies/">Bouncing Babies</a>. Gargoyles throw elves out of castle windows, and a rescue crew with a trampoline at the bottom must catch the elves and manoeuvre them to the safety of a haystack.</li>
<li><em>Gargoyle Mania</em> - similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/9448/demon-attack/">Demon Attack</a> (and generally <em>Space Invaders</em> style games). Waves of gargoyles fly around the screen, and the elves need to shoot them all down with a crossbow.</li>
</ul>
<p>Between waves, the player may purchase weapon upgrades and other equipment (depending on the game being played) with money collected during play.</p>
<p><em>Gargoyle Medieval Pack</em> was originally sold as shareware. The unregistered version included only a limited selection of levels for each game, and some weapons in <em>Gargoyle Mania</em> were unavailable. Author Jeff Souders made the full version freeware on 31 August 2008.</p>

<p><em>Pop't'Balls</em> is an unofficial PC conversion of the Amstrad CPC game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/25936/zaptballs/">Zap't'Balls</a>. Similar to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5055/buster-bros/">Buster Bros./Pang</a>, it can be played by one or two players, whose objective is to clear the screen of all bouncing balls without getting touched by any of them.</p>
<p>Each ball hit by the player's grappling hook splits into two smaller balls (except for the first tutorial level where the ball just shrinks in size), and the smallest ones disappear entirely when burst by the player's attacks. Later levels introduce various obstacles that affect both the player's movement and the movement of the balls, which may be either used to the player's advantage or complicate matters, depending on the situation. After completing a stage, the player receives a three-letter password that may be used to start the game from the most recently played level.</p>
<p><em>Pop't'Balls</em> was sold as shareware. The unregistered version contains only a limited set of levels.</p>

<p><em>Rock</em> is a clone of the original <a href="/search/?q=Boulder+Dash">Boulder Dash</a>, featuring 256-colour graphics with smooth animations and AdLib/Sound Blaster sound effects. None of the graphics or sounds directly copy those from official <em>Boulder Dash</em> versions, but the playing mechanics, look &amp; feel and level layouts appear to be identical or very closely similar.</p>
<p>The player's goal is to mine for diamonds in underground caves that are filled with earth and rocks, and sometimes are home to hostile creatures. In each level, it is required to collect a set amount of diamonds and reach the exit before the timer ticks down to zero. More diamonds than required may be collected for extra points, at the risk of delaying too much to get to the exit in time. The player has to cautiously dig tunnels in the earth, keeping in mind that rocks will fall without support and may crush the player or block a path, possibly resulting in an unwinnable situation. There are also hostile creatures that will chase the player, but can be crushed or blocked with rocks, with some exploding into extra diamonds which may be collected for additional points.</p>
<p>The player stars with three lives ("men"), with an extra life added for each 1000 points scored in the game. Getting crushed or touched by a monster subtracts one life and restarts the level. It is also possible for the player to voluntarily restart the current level at the cost of one life if stuck. Bonus points are awarded based on the time left when the exit was reached, and on the amount of extra diamonds (if any) collected in the level.</p>
<p>The two-player mode is identical to single-player, but players take turns to complete the game and play until losing a life upon which the turn passes to the next player.</p>
<p><em>Rock</em> was sold as shareware, with the unregistered version containing only five levels out of 20 in the full game.</p>

<p><em>Munch Man</em> is a <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/search/?q=Pac-Man">Pac-Man</a> variant for one or two players, featuring a few unusual twists. The basic gameplay formula is the same as in <em>Pac-Man</em>: the player controls a yellow round character who eats dots in a maze while being chased by ghosts. However, here the screen only shows a small part of the maze at any given time, with the entire maze only represented by a tiny minimap in the bottom right corner. The other unusual feature is a two-player mode where the second player controls a ghost. Additionally, the game has a "Haunt mode" where ghost sometimes become nearly invisible and thus harder to avoid.</p>
<p><em>Munch Man</em> was originally sold as shareware, but in 2003 the developer made the full version freely available from their website.</p>

<p><em>HitBlock</em> is a German-language <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/49572/crillion/">Crillion</a> variant with little deviation from the classic ruleset. The player controls a ball that bounces up and down on the playing field, which is filled with blocks of various colours. The ball can destroy blocks of the same colour as itself, and can change to a different colour if it touches a special block that is marked with a half-empty glass. There are also deadly blocks with skulls and crossbones, which the ball must avoid touching lest the level is restarted. Touching blocks with keys allows to open locked blocks, and there are also sliding blocks which look like 3.5" disks that cannot be destroyed, but will be pushed by the ball if touched by it.</p>
<p>The player's objective is to clear all coloured blocks from the playing field in as little time as possible. While the ball bounces up and down automatically, the player can move it left and right to change its direction. Some levels require quite precise control of the ball's movement to avoid skull blocks or colour-changing blocks of the wrong colour. Upon completing a level, bonus points are added depending on the amount of time left on the bonus countdown timer.</p>
<p><em>HitBlock</em> was released as freeware by its developer. The game includes 40 levels and a built-in level editor. The levels may be played in any order.</p>

<p><em>Escape del Castillo de la Física</em> (meaning <em>Escape from the Castle of Physics</em>) is a Spanish-language adventure game from Cuba.</p>
<p>Nekkrom, an evil scientist, kidnapped a woman named Sarah in his castle. What he asks for releasing her is to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. But that won't happen, so it's your job to enter the castle and rescue Sarah. Gameplay involves solving physics-based puzzles inside the castle, in classic first-person, point-and-click adventure style. You also have an inventory, and an assistant called Doctor Martínez, who is a talking energy being trapped inside a glass jar (he was a man before, but Nekkrom turned him into that) whom you can talk to to know more about the story and about physics.</p>

<p>One of the early computer baseball simulations, <em>Baseball Fanatic</em> offers in-game management for two human opponents, human vs. computer, or computer vs. computer matchups. The user can choose from five levels of offense (super slugfest, slugfest, pitcher's duel, average big leagues or "pot luck"). Select your lineup and manage individual games or utilize the "Watch the Scoreboard" feature which generates rapid results without user intervention. You can periodically review the season standings, compile statistics and create your own teams using a combination of statistics and subjective ratings.</p>

<p><em>Chess</em> is an implementation of the classic chess board game. In addition to timed and non-timed games, it allows players to take back moves, and also analyzes various chess positions and provides commentary. The game is for 1 player (against the computer) only.</p>

<p><em>Thief's Adventure</em> is a parser-based text adventure where the player assumes the role of a thief attempting a grand heist. First, the player has to convince the local fence that he is the right one for the job so the fence supplies him with tools, then the player has to break into the palace and steal war plans. The game's parser is sub-par and it is often not entirely clear which nouns can be interacted with, even though the game marks some names with a special underline effect.</p>

<p>1989 NFL Season is an add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/3948/tv-sports-football/">TV Sports: Football</a>, but one not developed or published by TV Sports: Football publisher <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/company/36706/cinemaware-corporation/">Cinemaware</a>. It provides player and team statistics to update the original game, taking the 1989 NFL season into consideration.</p>

<p><em>Twice crosses-circles</em> is an electronic adaption of the famous Tic-Tac-Toe game by placing Xs and Os on a field of nine squares to make OXO rows. The game is played according to slightly modified rules. There is an advantage to having the starting move, so for this version it is necessary to draw up two adjacent rows, but not parallel. The computer needs to prevent this and make a regular series. At the same time, the computer moves randomly, which is logical, since any meaningful move is guaranteed to deprive the chances of winning.</p>

<p><em>La Fortaleza I: En las Entrañas de la Bestia</em> (<em>The Fortress I: Inside the Entrails of the Beast</em>) is a Spanish-language text adventure from Cuba. You play as a regular man who has received a letter which states you've been chosen to infiltrate the Fortress and kill the Beast, a mysterious and fearsome creature. The Fortress is where the Beast lives, and it is a place that only becomes visible for one day every leap year.</p>

<p><em>La Fortaleza II: La Venganza de la Bestia</em> (meaning <em>The Fortress II: Revenge of the Beast</em>) is a Spanish-language text adventure from Cuba, and the sequel to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/190432/la-fortaleza-i-en-las-entranas-de-la-bestia/">La Fortaleza I: En las Entrañas de la Bestia</a>.</p>

<p><em>Superkniffel</em> (Yahtzee) is a dice game for one to twelve players.
<em>Kniffel</em>, launched in Germany in 1972 by Schmidt Spiele, hardly differs from Yahtzee.</p>
<p>In Kniffel, the player get to roll five dice. Each player has three rolls. In these three rolls he tries to score as many points as possible for one of the fields. In the first two rolls, he can set aside dice with the right number and does not have to roll them again. After the third roll, you must fill in a space on your field. Ideally the one that brings you the most points. Something always has to be entered. For example, if you didn't reach a street, you can enter 0 points in another field.</p>

<p><em>Neverworld</em> is an Italian-language adventure game with some arcade elements. The game is set in a future version of Taipei called New Tai, where you play as investigator Joshua Jam, a frequenter of both the slums of the city and of the worst areas of Neverworld, a parallel virtual world.</p>
<p>This was to be part of a series of magazines and games available in kiosks that would be called <em>Raven</em>, that would contain interconnected stories and video games all set in the same fictional world. Only the first issue with this game was released.</p>
<p>The game was made freeware by developer <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/133378/ivan-venturi/">Ivan Venturi</a> in 2010.</p>

<p><em>Dark Woods</em> is an ASCII turn-based game where the player controls a hero fighting against orcs. The goal is to clear out the enemies in each level while avoiding death. Some enemies can be defeated with the sword in close combat, while others have to be taken out with ranged weapons (that have limited ammo). The game has six levels and ammunition for ranged weapons does not carry over between them.</p>

<p><em>Siege of Gondor: Middle Earth Tale 1</em> is an unlicensed freeware title set in <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/person/47273/j-r-r-tolkien/">J. R. R. Tolkien's</a> Middle Earth. It is a simple RPG where the player controls a single character and has to liberate the city of Calembel from dark forces that besiege it. The game is set several years after the war of the ring, so its story stands as a sequel to Lord of the Rings. The RPG systems are extremely simple, with only attack and defense strength as stats, and conversations consist of NPCs talking at the player and occasionally giving a Yes/No question.</p>

<p><em>Follow The Leader!</em> is a simple "Simon Says"-style game. Six different buttons are indicated in a certain sequence, and the player must click the buttons in the same order. Each time the player succeeds, the length of the sequence is increased and the game continues. The game lasts until the player makes a mistake (game over) or reaches a maximum sequence length (victory).</p>

<p><em>Mirror Magic</em> (also known as <em>Mirror Magic II</em> when version 2.0.0 was released) is a port of Amiga puzzle game <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/mindbender">Mindbender</a> that additionally allows to play levels from another game with similar mechanics, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/14886/deflektor/">Deflektor</a>. It uses updated, higher-solution graphics and includes a level editor.</p>
<p>The player controls a set of rotating mirrors which are used to direct a beam of light (laser in <em>Deflektor</em> and magic energy in <em>Mindbender</em>) to destroy mines or cauldrons that are present in the level. Apart from mirrors, there may be other objects that affect the beam's direction (some can be controlled by the player like the mirrors), resulting in puzzle-like gameplay. Once all mines/cauldrons are cleared from the screen, the beam needs to be pointed at the exit to finish the level. Each such puzzle must be completed within a time limit, as projecting the beam slowly uses up a finite amount of energy supply. If at any time the beam is directed back at the source of the beam, it will start to slowly overheat, potentially destroying the source and ending the level.</p>
<p>The game is open source under the GNU General Public License, and thus cross-platform, initially available for Unix-like systems, but eventually ported to DOS, Windows, Macintosh and Android.</p>

<p><em>Nyet II</em> is a shareware <a href="/game/92309/">Tetris</a> clone and the apparent sequel to the first <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/2433/nyet/">Nyet</a> (though it is unclear whether it is an official sequel because the first <em>Nyet</em> was made by a different developer). It features gameplay identical to the classic <em>Tetris</em>, where the player must create rows of falling blocks to make them disappear, but with some differences. One notable difference is that some levels contain floating blocks which must be navigated around, although they can also be eliminated if they become part of rows formed by the player.</p>
<p>In addition, the player can earn "Nobbys" to change the game in their favor. Eliminating four rows at once awards a half-Nobby and eliminating two sets of four rows consecutively awards a full Nobby. Once one or more Nobbys have been collected, they can be used for the following actions:</p>
<ul>
<li>F5 = 5000 Points (1 Nobby)  </li>
<li>F6 = delete 4 rows (1 Nobby)  </li>
<li>F7 = disable playfield actions (1 Nobby)  </li>
<li>F8 = skip the current level (2 Nobbys)</li>

<p><em>CROBOTS</em> is a robot programming game. You create a file with your system text editor, which contains the instructions to control a robot. Running the game then allows you to pit your creation against one to three other robots in a 1000x1000m game arena. The robots then fire cannons according to their specific programming, damaging each other until there is one robot left, or a certain time has elapsed.</p>
<p>The game was inspired by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/107311/core-war/">Core War</a> and Synapse software's <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/12059/robot-war/">Robot War</a>. Instead of using a game specific programming language, the commands used to control the robot were based on the existing C language specification. Additional functions were defined which allow you to:1. drive in a particular direction at a given speed;
2. fire a cannon in a given direction for a specified range (up to 700m);
3. scan for other robots in a direction using some radar beam width;
4. measure the current velocity, location and damage of your robot.</p>
<p>Four robots are provided with the game. Rabbit runs around the field randomly, and does not fire. Counter, rook and sniper were progressively more complicated and aggressive robots that provide more of a challenge. The game was initially released as Shareware but has now been open sourced under a GPLv2 license.</p>

<p><em>Ushinawareta Rakuen</em> is an adult-themed Japanese visual novel with strong elements of mystery, horror and sex. At certain points in the game, the player can pick his next action from a multiple choice menu. Depending on the player's decisions, different plot lines will be triggered, leading to one of the many possible good or bad endings.</p>

<p>You are the Magician, Mother Earth's preferred son. For a long time you have researched and created monsters of the most horrible nature. Your assistant, the Learner, when given a little bit of power, eventually turned against you, ripping apart your body and banishing you to absolute darkness. Now Mother Earth has recreated your body, but your creations no longer recognize you. Worse still, you aren't quite back to how you were, so you'll need to find the parts of your former body.</p>
<p><em>Freaks!</em> is an unusual FPS in the style of <a href="/search/?q=Wolfenstein+3D">Wolfenstein 3D</a>. Your view is limited to 90-degree angles, though you can move freely within the game world. Your gun has infinite ammo and you don't find any health pick-ups, you regain health by killing enemies. The only pick-ups in the game world are the various plot items, in the first episode you are tasked with finding your body parts. Not only is this the primary objective, but it opens some doors in-game.</p>
<p>There are four episodes, the first and third in vaguely hellish locations, the second in a space station, and the final one a boss fight against the Learner.</p>

The paddle is constantly moving across the bottom of the screen and the player can only change its direction at any given time. The player starts the game with three lives and loses a life every time the ball is allowed to touch the bottom of the screen.

<p>In <em>20th Century Frog</em>, the player controls a frog whose goal is to eat a number of prey animals. These are usually flies, but bees, locusts and bats also appear. In most levels, the eating is done by jumping in such a way that the frog passes by an insect - the frog's tongue will then automatically snatch it. The level finishes when all animals are eaten. Eating raises the score, while jumping lowers it. A large negative score can actually kill the frog, so fruitless jumps should be avoided. Things are complicated further by deadly hazards unique to each level, including wooden barriers, a stomping foot, a roller, a hungry stork, a spider's web, and many more.</p>
<p>Besides the prey animals, there are other creatures that can be eaten, either for points or for additional effects. A dragonfly can move the frog a level ahead or a level back, depending on its color. Eating a ladybird gains the frog a so-called gimmick. Gimmicks are items that are collected in a sub-menu and can be used at the right point to launch an effect. Many can be used to counter a specific hazard: a steel helmet protects against the stork, a broom can remove the spider's web, an axe can destroy the wooden barrier, et cetera. Others make it easier to catch prey: a dead body attracts flies, a glass of honey does the same for bees and a steppe fire can startle locusts so they are easier to catch. Attractants can be used to summon specific creatures like caterpillars or ladybugs.</p>
<p>The frog's lives are limited but their number can be increased through mating. Another frog can be summoned through an attractant gimmick or by eating a number of caterpillars. If a caterpillar of the wrong color is eaten, the summoned frog will be of the same sex as the player's frog, making mating impossible. A way around that is the hormone gimmick, which allows a sex change.</p>
<p>The game uses almost all keys of the keyboard to control the frog's jumps. The row of the key determines the height of the jump (the number keys are highest, the bottom letter row the lowest), while the horizontal position of the keys control the direction: center keys make the frog jump straight up, while moving to the keyboard edges cause jumps to the left or right. An exception to this control scheme comes in special levels that take place underwater or in space - in these, the frog is controlled directly through the cursor keys.</p>

<p><em>Infiltrator</em> is a fixed-screen, side-view arcade platform game similar to <a href="/search/?q=Lode+Runner">Lode Runner</a>. The player controls an agent sent to retrieve stolen works of art and other treasure from high-security strongholds of an international crime organization. The agent is unarmed but is equipped with a can of very strong, self-regenerating acid that can dissolve almost any surface, which may be used to set traps for the numerous guards.</p>
<p>Like in <em>Lode Runner</em>, each level fits on one screen and consists of various platforms, ladders and ropes to navigate around. Once all treasure items have been collected, a ladder appears that leads to the top of the screen where the next level is located. Up to 15 guards can populate one level, chasing the player around, and any contact with them results in instantly losing one life. The only defense from the guards is that the player runs faster and can trap them in pits where the acid has corroded part of the floor. However, after a brief period of time these holes in the floor will self-repair. Anything trapped in such a hole will be instantly destroyed, but guards dispatched in such way will immediately respawn at the top of the screen. The acid is also required to access certain parts of the levels that have no other ways of entry.</p>
<p>Levels do not have a time limit, and the game generally puts a greater emphasis on finding the right way around, rather than outrunning the guards, which results in puzzle-like gameplay. There are various tricks and traps such as one-way passages and fake floors that look solid but can be passed through, designed to catch the player by surprise, but knowledge of these traps can also aid in completing a level, for example by permanently trapping a guard under a false floor.</p>
<p>The game allows players to manually save their progress at the beginning of a level, but there is also a lives system, with the game starting with five lives ("agents").</p>
<p><em>Infiltrator</em> was originally sold as shareware. The unregistered version includes 50 levels, with more levels and tile sets in the full game. Registered users would also receive a level editor. Author Soleil Lapierre eventually released this extra content as a free download, and declared the game freeware. However, the source code is not available.</p>

<p><em>Columns</em> is a simple recreation of <a href="https://mobygames.com/game/columns">Sega's arcade game of the same name</a>. It plays by the standard rules: columns made from three coloured blocks fall down the screen, and the player needs to arrange them so that three or more blocks of the same colour form horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines ("triples"), which are then removed from the playing field. Points are scored for these cleared blocks, and upon reaching a certain threshold, the game moves on to the nest level where columns fall faster. Like in <a href="/search/?q=Tetris">Tetris</a>, there is a preview of the next piece to appear on the screen, allowing the player to plan out a strategy of combining these elements in the best possible way.</p>
<p><em>Columns</em> was originally distributed as shareware. The unregistered version is fully playable, but includes a nag screen, does not allow to pause the game and does not save the high score table. Eventually the author made the registered version available as a free download, accepting voluntary donations from users.</p>

<p>The classic economics-themed board game gets a cartoony overhaul in this official adaptation from SuperVision for Amiga and DOS.</p>
<p>The game is set in London and does not offer much room for customization: only an internal clock that adds a time limit to a game.</p>
<p>Up to eight personalities, either human or CPU, can be selected at the start of a game. When controlled by the computer, a personality has its own way of playing: greedy, crafty or timid on three skill levels.
The contestants are, viewed on-screen from left to right: Farmer Barrow (using a Wheelbarrow-piece on the board), Lord Topper (Hat), Bosun Barnacle (Steamboat), Granny Knot (Eggcup), General Hobnail (Boots), Miss Trixie (Dog), Mobile Michael (Car) and Mrs Starch (Smoothing iron).</p>
<p>During gameplay the board is displayed from a top-down 3D-perspective with the contestants gathered around it. When a piece enters a property-tile, the game switches to a separate screen with the property shown in detail. A personality can quit the game anytime which triggers a cartoony violent animation to be displayed.</p>
<p>The game is icon-controlled and can be saved anytime to disk.</p>

<p><em>Jump &amp; Run 2</em> is a compilation of jump &amp; run shareware games.</p>

<p><i>Xerix II: The Caverns of Mars</i> is a side-scrolling shoot-'em up for one or two players that continues the story of the original <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/10312/xerix/">Xerix</a>. Taking place three years after the events of the first game, the Earth and its colonies are again threatened by hostile aliens, who have built their base in Mars' underground tunnels this time. The player, a skilled experimental spacecraft pilot, is tasked to again take control of the upgraded Xerix ship and, alone or with a wingman, finish this threat once and for all.</p>
<p>The player's ship is flying from the left side of the screen to the right, facing waves of enemy fighters flying in dense formations, as well as stationary turrets of various kinds and boss enemies. Some enemies drop powerups, which either add to the player's score, upgrade weapons or replenish health. In some levels, action is viewed from the above, and in others, from the side, but this has little effect on gameplay.</p>
<p><i>Xerix II</i> was originally sold as shareware, with the unregistered version limited to six levels out of twelve in the full game. Eventually, author Brendan Reville made the full game freeware. The registered version allows to start a new game from either level 1 or level 7, similar to Apogee model shareware titles (except the episodes are not named here). Users could also separately order the game's complete source code, an offer which appears to have been since discontinued.</p>

</ul>

<p>A puzzle game that consists of a field of light green squares, framed by dark green squares. Blue and pink balls emerge from the dark green squares and roll randomly around the main field. You can't control them, but you can click an empty square to add a barrier that will direct the balls in one direction or the other.</p>
<p>If two balls of the same colour collide, they colour the block with that colour. If balls of different colours collide, they both disappear ("fall into a black hole") and the square where it happened becomes dead space. If a ball of a certain colour passes through a block of the same colour, nothing happens, but if it passes through a block of another colour, it loses colour and becomes light green again. </p>
<p>The goal of the game is not obvious: you must destroy a certain number of coloured blocks to move to the next level. A gauge is displayed on the left of the screen that representing the distance from the goal amount of blocks. To summarise, you must first bring balls of the same colour together to create coloured blocks, and then get balls to roll into blocks of the opposite colour.</p>

<p><i>Crillion '97</i> is an arcade puzzle game inspired (obviously) by <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/49572/crillion/">Crillion</a>. Instead of a ball, here the player controls a tiny character called Crillion who jumps around and breaks blocks with his head. The objective of each level is to clear all breakable blocks from the screen before the time runs out.</p>
<p>The basic playing mechanics are the same as in the original <i>Crillion</i>: the character bounces up and down, and the player can only control the horizontal direction of Crillion's movement. To break a block, the character must be of the matching colour, which can changed by touching a special block with a coloured circle. There are also instant death blocks that should be avoided, movable blocks etc. Additionally, <i>Crillion '97</i> introduces several new features, like bonus items that may be picked up for extra points, and roaming monsters that should also be avoided unless the player wears the matching colour, in which case touching a monster destroys it. </p>
<p><i>Crillion '97</i> was developed using the Allegro library and released as freeware. The author claims to have never played the original <i>Crillion</i>, having learned about it from a German computer magazine that featured the Amiga 500 conversion of the game.</p>

<p><em>Dogs of War</em> is an add-on to <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/5205/siege/">Siege</a>.</p>

<p><i>Dylan Dog: Ritorno al Crepuscolo</i> is the second entry in the series of short adventures published monthly by <a href="/search/?q=Simulmondo">Simulmondo</a> for MS DOS and Amiga computers.</p>
<p>It continues the plot started in the first game of the series, <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/184709/dylan-dog-la-regina-delle-tenebre/">La Regina delle Tenebre</a>: Dylan Dog, the "nightmare investigator", has found his way to the castle of the vampire queen Maledetta, the titular Queen of Darkness. Now he finds himself in the Twilight Zone, the Limbo of the Hell itself, and is told by Maledetta that she called for him not only out of lust, but also because he is the only man able to save both his earthly world and the Hell from some cataclysmic danger. To save them Dylan must find Nessuno (Nobody), another character from original comic books.</p>
<p>Technically and gameplay-wise <i>Ritorno al Crepuscolo</i> is totally the same as the previous game (after all, it was built on the same engine and released month after the first game). All the monsters (all three kinds of them) are the same, and Dylan as always jumps over fire pits, scales stairs and kills enemies with his fists or his gun that one-shots any monster but has limited ammo. NPC dialogs, on the other hand, are all new - and wrong choices of phrase once again lead Dylan to instant death (tip: being polite never hurts. Almost).</p>

Messing up means you'll need to restart the level.</p>
