This cd-rom was available for free from German parliament to educate kids on the government process. It was made by 14 university students from the fields of design & media and economics who worked with the concept of Professor Doctor Thomas Jaspersen. It's a mix of first-person adventure and educational game. Your roam from a first person perspective, collect items and learn a lot about the topics: history of the building and the state of Lower Saxony, the Constitution of Lower Saxony and a lot about the political process in the state. The information texts are very well researched, written and understandable for each topic, there are still optional in-depth background information. There are lengthy voice-overs in the game. The information texts are presented by no less than former news presenter spokesperson Jo Brauner. Even the characters in the game were synchronized very pleasantly. Music can also be heard. Graphically, the game is presented in a subtle comic look. The drawings are very well managed and the backgrounds look just great. | ||

Once again a promotional game from Austria. The steel company "voestalpine" published this technically very impressive CD-ROM. In addition to the game, for who is interested there's also a 281-page textbook in pdf format. In the game, you take over the role of trainees and have different tasks in all areas of a steel mill, where among other things, this includes the loading of a blast furnace with the right mix to achieve the highest possible quality of the steel base. Again and again, you also get items that you need to use elsewhere. Small games of skill loosen the teaching program on it. The background graphics are photos, now and then you may also watch short videos. The voice acting is okay, but you can see that here Austrians try to speak High German. The tasks are not too difficult, and there's no puzzles like in a "real" adventure. It's just mainly a learning game, which is intended to illustrate one of the professions in a steel mill. Playing time is about three hours, and you will also be entertained quite well at this time. But one should not expect adventure with an exciting story and challenging puzzles. | ||

Former Humongous employee, David Evans, released a demo in January 2016 for this game that was being developed in 2001 by their sub-division, Gaspocket Adventures, before Infogrames cancelled it for having a female protagonist. The demo was clearly not meant to be publicly released in this state, as evidenced by frequent crashes, a complete lack of clickpoints and somewhat amateurish voice acting, but it's still a fascinating sight, even if it probably just barely scratches the surface of what this game was going to be like. Most interestingly of all, it has the typical debugging features you'd expect from Humongous' games. By adding "WhosABigCheater=I" to your version of "hegames.ini", you can press I to open an item selection screen and G to access a room selection screen. Both of these are very expansive, indicating that the game's planning was already pretty much finished, which makes its cancellation even more infuriating. Don't get your hopes up though. The item selection screen doesn't do anything and the room selection screen only allows you to click on the handful of rooms that exist in the demo. | ||

Supernatural espionage thriller set in a quasi-medieval Venice (oh, that old genre again). You jump around in space and time through a series of apparently disconnected scenes, and eventually, if you're paying enough attention, things come together. Largely puzzleless, in the conventional sense; there's one puzzle toward the beginning of the game, but most of the rest of the story pretty much flows by. In another sense, though, the whole game is a puzzle, and it's a pretty clever one--the game drops progressively more obvious clues as you go along and fills in some, but not all, of the blanks at the end. You'll probably need to replay, and think a good deal, to figure everything out). Pleasantly confusing, though very much on rails--there's only one path through the game, and not much deviation is allowed for. Unusual and rewarding. | ||

Strap yourself in for the ride of a lifetime. You are stranded on a planet with an entire species out to kill you... will you discover the truth this planet is hiding, or will you die trying? This obscure game has quite a bit of action in addition to the adventure. This is the longest and largest GameMaker game ever made. The author spent a looong time on this, and actually sold it on CD (to which a few people actually bought). It's a massive game with 10 levels of gameplay rendered in 3D. | ||

In days of lore, worthy knights sought to become Knights of the Round Table in Camelot. This is the story of Knight Bradwen, a King's illegitimate son, whose half-brother banishes him from his home after the death of their father. Bradwen and his trusty steed set out to regain his lands, his honor and attain his rightful place at the Round Table. Bradwen's story is told two ways - that of a Christian knight who will seek advice from the likes of Sir Lancelot - or that of a Celtic knight who will be guided by Merlin the Wizard and fairies. You choose which story to play at the beginning of the game by picking a red or white book from its pedestal. Each tale is played completely apart from the other, has different paths and quests, and separate save-game locations. A historical database is included as a reference tool and includes topics concerning the life of a knight and the history of the times. Your particular story is contained in a journal to which text is added as you progress. The game features pre-rendered, detailed (but static) backgrounds with animated 3D objects (birds, animals etc.), original music and sound effects. Keyboard keys are used for movement and actions, such as picking up an object or searching a fallen foe. Your mouse is used for menus and conversation. If Bradwen has gained the proper weapon, he will fight enemies automatically simply by clicking on the sword icon. Because a choice can be made whether to talk to or fight a potential foe, you can die if you make the wrong selection. | ||

| Auryn Quest: The Neverending Story | Discreet Monsters / The Adventure Company | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Inspired by the novel The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, Auryn Quest combines 3D adventure and puzzle-solving with arcade "jump and run" sequences, but without any shooting or violence. Your hero, Atreyu, must find the magic Auryn and restore Fantasia its power before it is destroyed by The Nothing. Beginning at the Temple of a Thousand Doors, Atreyu will explore six richly detailed worlds during his quest, each with its own challenges and puzzles. The difficulty of the arcade elements increases as the player advances through the levels. To enter the first five worlds, you must collect at least five yellow energy balls in each, beginning with the Mountain of Destiny. Once a world has been entered, you can go back to it to finish the quest for all ten energy balls, a prerequisite for gaining entry into the sixth and final world, The Labyrinth of Time. Each world has specific challenges, explained by its main character. Find three brothers to open a gate in the Mountain of Destiny, repair a machine in Gaya's Lava Dungeon, and find a door lever in Singing Tree Country. In The Wandering Mountain, you must find your way through the gears of Urwerk, then climb to the top of the mountain before reaching the Oracle, the fifth world, where you'll be judged on your progress. Without all 50 energy balls, you'll have to return to each level to find those you initially missed. In the final level, The Labyrinth of Time, you must find a total of 50 auryns, of which only one is the true artifact. The game started development in 1998 but constant technology updates and design changes delayed what was to be "The Real Neverending Story" month after month until the developer went bankrupt in May 2001. A new company, Attaction, acquired its assets and a team of five employees cannibalized The Real Neverending Story's technology and license to turn it into this jump-and-run game. | ||

| Beast, The / The A.I. Game | Microsoft Corporation | [top] | |

The A.I. Game refers to the viral marketing activities surrounding the release of the Steven Spielberg movie A.I.: Artificial Intelligence. The game is cross platform in combining websites, staged events in American cities and other media such as telephone. The game initially started with a strange credit sequence at the end of the movie trailer that included "Sentient Machine Therapist: Jeanine Salla". Googling for that information the player is shown a variety of sites dating from the future year 2142. Each site in turn has additional puzzles to solve. Each solved puzzle gives the player a tiny piece of information that helps advance the story. The story revolves around the murder of Evan Chan a fictional character in the game. In line with the film the main themes include robots, AIs, slavery and a struggle for equal rights. The game's content was updated weekly in line with the advancing story up until the release of the movie several months after the release of the trailer. New sites would go up and old sites would go down or get hacked by opposing factions. The game is designed in a fashion that it is virtually impossible for a single player to solve the game. It requires the forming of web communities to pool gathered information in order to see the whole picture. Puzzles have players read from literature, decipher enigma codes, translate from a dozen different languages and dig in the source codes of various websites. There were even real-world events in various major American cities where "anti-robot" rallies were held by professional actors hired for the game. Aside from websites there are also telephone numbers to be called for mysterious messages and emails and faxes that can be received. | ||

| Bioscopia: Where Science Conquers Evil | Ruske & Puhretmaier Edutainment GmbH / Tivola Publishing, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Winner of the 2002 Bologna New Media Prize, this "science conquers evil" adventure offers a compelling mystery within an eerie, Myst-like environment. In fact, the game is much more "Myst" than science tutor - players spend most of their time exploring strange locales, searching for clues and collecting needed items. Here's the premise: a young biologist has discovered the abandoned research station, Bioscopia. In Indiana Jones fashion, she enters and the big door closes behind her. Now she's trapped, and what's worse, she's contracted a deadly virus put forth by renegade robots. Fortunately, she's able to send out one last transmission which you, the player, pick up. Players must search the disabled, abandoned lab, solve biology puzzles and eventually create the antibiotic that will ultimately save the biologist. This is no easy task - we became stuck many times and ended up needing the help file (located on the first CD-ROM as a PDF) too frequently. It's not that the puzzles themselves are that hard to solve; there is help available in a science "database" of sorts on the lab grounds. Rather, finding necessary objects and knowing how to use them aren't always clear. Science puzzle content deals with botany, mitosis, cell biology, animal behavior and so on. Logic and memory skills are required throughout. This is a captivating but very difficult game, heavy on logic, light on actual science content. Plan on spending a long weekend on this one." A truly outstanding title that should appeal to both fans of traditional point-and-click adventure, and anyone looking for a good way to learn about biology. | ||

This is a single-player action game with some puzzle-solving. The story, thus the game, is divided in 13 chapters. An introduction cutscene opens on a strange man, dressed in clothes from the XVIII century but in a room full of modern technologies. He introduces us to an old story, located in Paris, at the end of the XVIII century. Barbara Cagliostro is looking for a lost book which contains the means to dominate the world. The Vampire Society is looking for it as well. Barbara has to deal with people that at first glance seem friendly, but soon betray her.

Tork is a perfectly normal guy, well, almost normal atleast. He loves to collect underwear. But one day, as he was about to actually put on some trousers for a change, Tork was sucked into the wardrobe and was teleported to a peculiar island which he'd never heard of before. Tork must now help the inhabitants of the island by defeating an evil witch so that he may return home to his precious underwear collection.

| Casanova: The Duel of the Black Rose | Arxel Tribe / Wanadoo Edition | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
As the name implies, this game puts you in the role of a lady-charming, swashbuckling, sword-wielding rogue during the Enlightenment era. In a mix of action and adventure, you'll play the good-looking Giacomo Casanova in Venice, Italy. It is a story of love, ambition, political conflict and vengeance in an 18th century Mediterranean locale. While at sea, his ship is attacked by cutthroat pirates and his mother is murdered. The gameplay begins while Giacomo, the only survivor, is recuperating in Venice in the home of the Duke of Grimani. He vows to seek out the murderous pirates to avenge his mother's death. Soon he discovers that her murder may be part of a much deeper plot linked to a conspiracy to take over the country's current leadership. Plenty of women wander the streets of Venice who can be charmed by the handsome Casanova's wit and audacity. Conversation choices effect how others respond to you, and the wrong answer could get your face slapped instead of kissed. Many spontaneous sword fights happen to keep you busy and help you practice for the latter parts of the game. Other weapons, such as a crossbow, will be needed in some fights. The game is controlled using both the keyboard and mouse. Walk, run, jump, and fence using keyboard keys; aim and fire the crossbow with your mouse. There are adventure-type puzzles to solve, many of which rely on conversation or inventory objects. | ||

This is one of the first Russian projects where all characters are clay-made. Owing to this technology heroes and characters look very comical and thus the whole picture considerably differs from classical "drawn" quests. Though clay is very attractive material, and there is a great tradition of clay-toons in Russia, game developers did not attempt to make a clay game for a long time. Modeling of clay creatures is a long and hard business, yet it looks quite simple on the face of it. It offers a brilliant game for the agent who must solve an extremely important mission - to find gold on the cue ball clay planet lost in space and populated by clay natives. The show starts in an open space on a clay spaceship soaring through space in clay. Somewhere in the depths of the Starship play billiards, commander of the galactic intelligence and a sudden swarm of meteorites can distract from a perfect detonation ... and instead sent the ball through the ventilation system in the universe. | ||

Imagine yourself trying to escape from Planter's Asylum where everything is not what it's "cracked up to be." Talk about cracking up, you'll have more fun with this game than Homer eating his way out of a "doh"-nut factory or a whole barrelful of Skull Monkeys. Oh you're a regular comedian, all right (as your character is one in real life). The bad guys bring out a whole new element never seen before under one tent…..and between alien clowns and convenience store clerks, whose turbans are a little too tight, you won't believe the creative surprises that await you. We're not talking another shooter or another big-boobed bimbo in hot pants. We have enough of the real things where we live. There's an evil-maniacal genius, the power crazed Warden and more. You've got to meet these guys up close. It'll alter your mood and could even change the world as you know it. Only a demo was ever released in 2001 to show the work that the developer did for this 1998 game. | ||

This game was originally released in Sweden (in Swedish) a year or two earlier. Such was the reception that it was released as part of a three CD set, “Let’s Ride”, targeted at girls interested in horses. This is a godsend for people who just can't get enough of the Nancy Drew games. It is very similar in style and targeted at teens. The graphics range from good to almost stunning, at times recalling Gabriel Knight 3. The cutscenes are a bit of a letdown compared to other graphics in the game-they are grainy but watchable. The acting is similar to early Nancy Drew games-fairly ordinary. I was never convinced that the actors were who they were trying to be. The game is completely keyboard controlled through the arrow keys and four others: “M” (map), “I” (inventory), “N” (notebook), “U” (use). This configuration is not intuitive and takes some getting used to. Especially difficult to get used to is the tendency for the camera to change quite dramatically, which is very disorienting. Lastly, when Emma gets to the limit of the explorable area, she turns around very quickly and begins walking back. This makes for a little frustration if you are trying to go to a very specific spot. Despite these quirks, the game is worth playing. The game is heavily conversation based rather than oriented around puzzles, which makes it welcoming to new adventurers. There are enough challenges for more experienced adventurers to make this worth playing also, though the game is never in fear of shocking or upsetting players with too much intrigue. | ||

The items he collects are saved into his inventory from where they can either be combined or used in a variety of ways. There’s also a map in there that will whisk him to the island’s various locations such as the Shopping Mall, the beach, the health club or the more seedy areas of town and each visit could reveal some new item or someone different to talk to. Successfully fulfilling each girl’s requirements results in a cut scene of her and Reggie ‘making out’ (nothing pornographic though). | ||

Dangerous Discovery is an interactive adventure inspired by the ever-popular Famous Five Books and is part of a range of CD-ROMs that bring the classic tales to a whole new generation (other titles include Silver Tower, Kidnapped and Treasure Island). The Famous Five are again at Kirrin Cottage during the summer holidays and get very excited when they discover an archaeological dig is taking place on the island. Inevitably they are soon involved in mystery, intrigue and strange goings on when archaeologist Mr Brown, an old acquaintance of Uncle Quentin’s, disappears unexpectedly. Julian, Dick, George, Anne and the irrepressible dog, Timmy, are soon on the case but you must help them in their search for the truth. Players can listen to the story or follow the words--this is an interactive storybook at its best as well as a thrilling adventure game. The opening minutes set the scene, giving players clues and helpful hints along the way so that not only do they get involved in the story but they can also start thinking about solving the puzzles. The dialogue can be quite long in places but there is plenty to do to keep a player interested. As the mystery progresses gameplay becomes quite complex: clues and objects are not always obvious and young players will require persistence and inspiration to solve the toughest challenges. Help is at hand both in the full-colour instruction book included and in the "Helpful Hints" file included on the disc (which, when all else fails, also includes a "Solution"). It's a thought-provoking, challenging game that will improve powers of deduction, computer operation and memory skills while helping with reading and creativity. | ||

| Genesys | Galilea Multimedia / Wanadoo Edition | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Another edutainment title involving the stable responsible for Vikings and Crusader (Index+ joined Wanadoo and formed Wanadoo Edition), Genesys takes you on a journey through human history. Guided by renowned French actress Jeanne Moreau, you start with the big bang and end at the computer age. If you have played either of the above games you will be at home here. Genesys plays almost identically to Crusader, and like Crusader, you have to make a fair bit of use of the encyclopaedic database to complete the game as certain items are only found within the encyclopaedia. More than either of those two games though, Genesys feels like a learning tool. The commentary by Jeanne Moreau is direct to camera, and whilst images are played behind her, it gives it the feel of a lecture, as opposed to playing a story. Through the game screens, and through the database, you have to solve 16 "enigmas" that focus on a specific aspect of the development of the human race. Amongst other things, you will make fire, print a document, develop trade routes and build steam engines and railways. You will find some of the things you need in the various scenes accompanying each enigma, perhaps in the form of information garnered from the various persons in the scenes, or in the form of an item or piece of equipment. The rest you will find in the database, along with the remaining information needed to successfully solve the enigma. To complete the enigma, just drag the items into the game window. If you are utilising them correctly or in the right order (eg it is no good trying to place a train if you haven't laid tracks, and for that you will need to build a steam engine), they will be "used" accordingly. A bar at the top of the screen will indicate your progress. Each enigma can consist of up to 20 separate steps. The game window is as it is in Crusader, a blend of 3D figures on 2D backgrounds, with little animations and some use of full motion video. You progress systematically through the enigmas, the first being 2 million years ago in East Africa, the last in 1981 in a Seattle office building. You must solve one before getting access to another. Unlike the other games mentioned, in Genesys you can save in the middle of an enigma; that is, partially completed puzzles can be saved and picked up where you left off. | ||

| Gilbert Goodmate And The Mushroom of Phungoria | Prelusion Games / FastTrack Software Publishing | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

As the game begins it is shortly before the annual Mushroom festival and Gilbert's grandpa has been keeper of the sacred mushroom for the past year. But suddenly a masked thief sneaks up behind Grandpa, flattens him with a mallet, and steals the mushroom. Now Grandpa is going to be executed for his unforgivable dereliction of duty and Gilbert must try to save him. This is a long, 2D, 3rd person, point and click game with an inventory and map, and it is very easy to play. The music is happy and the graphics are truly outstanding: bright and colorful, with that wonderful clean, crisp and light-filled feeling that is so typical of Scandinavia. The attention to detail is simply amazing, even down to things like making the map reflect changes in the story and creating some very funny credits (make sure you read them after you watch them). And the puzzles are story related with unexpected twists, absurdly logical, inventory based, and fun to do. They range in difficulty, with some that are fairly challenging. However it is the original and often laugh-out-loud humor that puts this game over the top. The characters are absolutely delightful and the voice acting is quite good. The game was started as a one-person project who later got help from others to finish it. | ||

Seek out hidden treasure and uncover a mysterious conspiracy in this 3D adventure game set in the ancient East. It features a point-and-click interface, adventure style puzzles, gathering inventory objects and talking to inhabitants in picturesque locations.

He must obtain enough gold to buy his freedom and is set free to do so. Faust is a sea captain. His story begins as he searches for a passenger who fails to appear after booking passage on his ship. The stories start in the same city and take place during the same period of time, but otherwise they are different from each other with unique paths, sets of circumstances and puzzles that ultimately lead to the same conclusion. Visit sea ports bustling with merchants selling spices, slaves and other wares, a ghost town, desert caravans, and the treacherous trade routes of the open sea where piracy is commonplace. | ||

| Kagetsu Tohya [J] | Type-Moon | [top] | |

|

Kagetsu Tohya consists of "Twilight Glass Moon, Fairy Tale Princess", the long main story with many branches, and several shorter side stories that are unlocked one after another after related events in the main story have been read. Ten of these side stories are combined as "Ten Nights of Dream". One year after the events of Tsukihime (presumably from the "Good Ending" of Arcueid path, as none of the characters are dead), Shiki is a victim of an accident. After this accident, Shiki awakens into a strange dream wherein he repeats the same day over and over. There are infinitely many endings to the day, but it always begins anew after each day. Eventually, Shiki discovers that he must find Len, the creator of the dream, if he wishes to escape. The gameplay is exactly the same as in Tsukihime. However it uses a slightly different system in which the player goes through each of Shiki's "days" in the dream. The number of choices presented to the player in Kagetsu Tohya is also significantly larger than in Tsukihime. Also, due to the plot structure, the timeframe of Kagetsu Tohya is not linear like Tsukihime, but circular; that is, after completing one "day" in Shiki's dream, your status is automatically saved and you have to play the same "day" again, but with different choices. The days do not progress; rather, every time a day is completed, what you have accomplished in that day is saved by the computer. Eventually, you will come across the ending for the game after accomplishing everything that comes before it. The first seven of these stories were written by Kinoko Nasu like the rest of Kagetsu Tohya, while the last three are contribution works by others, essentially fanfiction. | ||

| Key, The Parts 1-3 | Jon Cooper, Cyragon / Mug Software | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

The Key is a freeware graphical adventure game. It is set in the future on a distant planet (time unknown as time-scale does not seem to match ours). Your objective is to explore an abandoned colony and uncover The Key to the power source of The Hub, the universe's central power source. The game consists of numerous rendered stills which are clicked in hotspots to navigate from location to location. Apart from moving from location to location and zooming in and out all interaction with the game is done via many 'panels' which can be accessed in numerous locations. Atmospheric sound-effects and some animations are also included. Unlike many adventure games this one has no inventory, the whole game is resolved by interacting with panels using information gained from other panels. Part I: Flight from Arcadia - After making contact with the Exiles, you find yourself in a city deep underwater. You have to find a way to reactivate the ancient machines and get Arcadia functional again so that you can find the missing Key. Part II: The Valley of Stars - You have at last made your way to the Valley of Stars -- a portal of sorts that offers access to many long-forgotten planets. What you need now, however, is power: the old reactor on Arcadia is simply too weak to unlock the Vault. Is there a way the worlds could be reconnected and the old communications system reestablished? Part III: Quest for the Key - At last, you have made your way inside the Vault -- only to find, as the Empire did a few decades before, that the way to the galactic core is being protected by a gate, and the four crystals that are needed to activate the gate are gone. There are millions of worlds throughout the galaxy; how could one ever search through them all? There must be a way to get past the gate, and it is up to you to find it. | ||

| King's Quest VGA Fan Remake | Tierra Entertainment / AGD Interactive | [top] | |

A fan-made VGA remake of the original King's Quest using Chris Jones' Adventure Game Studio engine. Besides the nicer graphics it also features a point & click interface, voices (optional) and MP3 music (optional). When Sierra remade their early AGI adventures using their new SCI engine, their first game, King's Quest, was also the first to be remade. Unfortunately this meant using SCI0 which still had 16-color graphics and a typing interface and not 256-colors and point & click interface like the SCI1 remakes of Leisure Suit Larry 1, Space Quest 1, Quest For Glory 1 and Police Quest 1 had. So a group of King's Quest fans decided to do what Sierra didn't and supply King's Quest 1 with a worthy remake. It was the first fan-made adventure game remake ever released, and the first fan-made game to ever include a voice pack. | ||

| Krabat and the Secret of the Sorbian King | Rapaki / Załožba za serbski lud | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
A magical, amazing, and charming world of Krabat. It's a name that enchanted people since time immemorial. Whether reading fun how old, brilliant cinema experience, trips to the theatre stage or whole festival - it's the Serbian mythology for the young becoming more popular than ever. The developer's hearts beat not under the California Sun but in the midst of Lausitz. Five persons under the name of RAPAKI (Serbian for the Ravens) made the first Serbian computer game. It was a point-and-click adventure game "Krabat is returned" after five years of intensive work of leisure and in the official order of the "Foundation for the Serbian people". The PC game is therefore only in an upper - and lower Serbian language version and boasts a mix of well-known elements of the legend with new ideas. The authors retained the source code of their project for the story - and even put it in open access in 2013, trying to organize the translation into German and porting to the Android mobile platform. “Krabat” is the name of the famous hero of Pudzha's folklore: the poor podpaska, who became the pupil of the sorcerer and subsequently not only defeated his unkind mentor, but also helped many peasants with his magic (and according to rumors - to the Saxon Elector himself). This story was literally handled by the Serbuga-Luzhian writer and artist Merchin Novak-Nehorn in 1954 in the novel Mišter Krabat, although the general public is much more famous for the fairy tale of the German children's author Otfried Proisler, Krabat, or the Legends of an Old Mill, published seventeen years later, including the one published in the USSR in Russian and became the basis for several screen versions, including the large-scale German film of 2008. In their work Rapaki, they rethink the same story; according to folklorists. Events unfold in the last years of the XVII century; Pudzha is under the rule of foreign Saxony - and the military adventures of Augustus the Strong bring only adversity to the common people. It has full voice acting and a nice musical soundtrack. In 2019, an English version was released. | ||

The kingdom of Bianca Highlandia has lived in prosperity for years. After all, it is said that its ancestors rid evil from the land and forever banished them to the depths of the earth where they have remained inactive and seemingly uncaring of the progress of the world above. When we first start the game, the kingdom of Bianca Highlandia has not one, but two princes: Roland and Altraud. Because of how the system of royalty functions, Altraud, the youngest of the two princes, earns the right to succeed the king instead of the older Roland. Despite this, Roland vows to protect his little brother from whatever may do him harm. Things change on Altraud's 18th birthday when the king and queen are killed in the throne room. The murderer? Altraud's brother Roland. The event causes Altraud to begin a quest which will decide the fate of his kingdom, the well being of his brother, and will put him up against an evil which has been ignored for far too long. An English version was made in 2004. This is an interactive visual novel with Yaoi (boys love) elements. | ||

Family Doctor is the title of an animated series and a book. Anima2, the producer of 2D and 3D animation Emilio Aragon, who was also the star of the drama series, now develops an adventure game inspired by the two series entitled The Box of Dreams. It will see familiar characters from the series and new ones created for the occasion. Thus, Chechu, Maria, Nacho and Alicia will be joined by a dragon, and Professor Traxtov. The game will allow us to control several characters from the series, who will interact with another fifty for clues to complete the adventure. The script combines elements of fantasy, action and crazy hilarious situations that make it suitable for all audiences. It all starts when the family discovers a treasure map hidden in their own neighborhood, but behind the facade hide secret caves, pre-Colombian pyramids and collectors who carry you off to Venus. The gameplay follows the lines of the classic LucasArts genre, and offers two levels of difficulty: the easiest for children 8 to 11 years, and advanced, including more dialogues and challenges, puzzles more complex and less tracks, for those over 11 years. The 3D graphics combine with character animations and skeletal models. The game launched coinciding with the premiere of the animated series. | ||

Despite their best intentions, things rarely work out for the post-apocalyptic denizens of subterranean vaults, locking in the seeds of the very things they are trying to keep beyond their thick, reinforced walls. Here, the player directs (through mouse point-and-clicking on hot-spots) the actions of a lone wanderer of the blasted, desolate wastes, seeking in vain for some evidence of after-the-bomb survival of some life form more advanced than the occasional twisted desert plant. Some highly suggestive evidence emerges, in the form of a powered, unviolated fallout shelter -- unfortunately, still locked tight against the strange new menaces in the aftermath of this new age. The player will have to employ all the scavenged materials and long-forgotten computer security knowledge at his disposal in order to gain access to three successively secured internal areas and deduce the story of the inhabitants from their own words and records. | ||

The Visitors return with a new game. Originally a French 1993 movie became the biggest box office hit ever there, before a 1998 sequel and a 2001 English remake called Just Visiting with some of the same actors. Fate seems to be conspiring against Godefroy de Montmirail. A new incident has prevented him from marrying the sweet Frénégonde. Lilith, the small sister of the witch Malcombe has decided to avenge her mother's death at the hands of Godefroy. For that, she stole the invaluable relic of Saint Rolande that's scattered through the 20th century. Godefroy and his faithful rider Jacquouille need you to juggle between the different ages of time and put things back in order. Strong points: You have the possibility to in turn play as Godefroy and Jacquouille in different times. There's 6 great levels which involve you in the castle of Montmirail and its dependences and you will relive the adventures of Jacquouille in a shopping mall. A gallery of enemies are very varied according to the periods: guards, skeletons, rats, falcons, etc for the 12th century and in the 20th century they are the Vigils, post-office employees, punks, small irritated old women, etc. Find humour in scenes throughout both films since the game includes sentences and sound effects from them. The realization is in superb 3D which is accompanied by very fluid movements of cameras. Thus, it is possible, thanks to the camera, to look at absolutely everywhere. | ||

| Majestic: Special Edition | Anim-X / Electronic Arts, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Majestic is an espionage thriller that was initially downloaded over the Internet. A pilot episode was free to try but the four remaining episodes required players to join EA.com's Platinum Service, which cost $9.95 USD per month. The game casts you as the central figure in a government conspiracy. It is up to you to find clues and find out the truth. Majestic isn't a program in itself. It has no special effects, no multiplayer, nothing you'd expect in a usual game. Instead, it uses e-mail, telephone, fax and AIM to contact you. You might receive a phone call at 3:00am about a contact. The game also gives you clues over the 'Net via video, audio, and websites designed specifically for the game. A special edition came later on cd. with episodes 0-4 of the online suspense thriller. Also included in the box is an exclusive strategy guide and a behind the scenes video on how Majestic was made. The game was eventually stopped with the last episode ending in April 2002. | ||

In the castle of infinity live the eccentric masters of the elements who control time, gravity, electricity, warmth, light and chance. When the Master of Chance loses his cat, the balance of the elements is disturbed as all the other masters have gone to search for the pet. It is up to you to restore the natural order of things and collect the missing pages of the Garden of Chance book. When you solve a puzzle and find a new page, the Master of Chance appears and tells you a story with clues that lead to the missing cat. In this game, for ages 8 to 102, each chapter of the storybook can be played in any order. The different rooms are related to the natural elements and teach a very limited amount of physics and science through the games and puzzles. Your progress in the game is shown through a number of clover leaves. You can pick up things, but there is no inventory, as all items have to be used in the screen they were found. When all the missing pages have been discovered, you can enter the Garden of Chance to retrieve the missing cat. | ||

The world is in peril, for as any decent and ambitious secret cult should be expected to be, the Sixth Sect is up to no good. They're plotting to raise an ancient Egyptian Deity to enslave mankind, and it falls on the shoulders of the two most incompetent TIA operatives to stop them. So whether the world is quaking in fear due to the Sect's evil plans or because their last hope is Mortadelo y Filemón is not entirely certain. Their mission, should they manage to figure out how to accept it, will be to obtain and secure the Holy book of Amon Ra and Cleopatra’s ancient Scarab medallion, key items in the mad cleric Apotheosis' plan to for world domination. How they're expected to achieve this is beyond anyone’s guess, including theirs. El Escarabajo de Cleopatra (Cleopatra's Scarab), is a typical 3rd person Point & Click Adventure game with a few innovative features not often seen in this genre, such as multiplayer, allowing two players to cooperate and finish the game together by controlling one of the two main characters each. Cleopatra's Scarab is an individual game, however once you complete it and Operación Moscú (Operation Moscow) you can combine them together to play the third part of the story La Sexta Secta (The Sixth Sect). If another friend of yours has also the two adventures installed on their computer, you both can play on the Internet or a local network, one controlling Mortadelo and the other Philemon. With the "shoe phone" you will begin to contact the other to communicate and help each other. | ||

| Myst III: Exile | Presto Studios, Inc. / Ubi Soft Entertainment Software | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Unlike its predecessors, Myst and Riven, it was not produced by Cyan, Inc., the series' creator. The game continued in the style of the previous games, allowing the player to navigate through fictional worlds by clicking on prerendered images. On the technical side, a 360-degree panorama system was introduced (first seen in The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time and Atlantis: The Lost Tales), allowing the player to look around smoothly, with video clips seamlessly integrated. The game featured live action performances including Rand Miller, the creator of the Myst series, returning to play Atrus once again, and Brad Dourif, starring as Saavedro. Myst's ongoing story line is as convoluted as it is fantastic. Central to the story is the mysterious civilization of the D'ni, which creates entire worlds by writing books. Other books are used to link the D'ni worlds together. Myst trapped the player in a series of interconnected worlds, and challenged the player to puzzle through the ramblings of two mad brothers in order to free Atrus, their imprisoned father. Riven revealed more of the history of the D'ni, and sent the player to the unstable world of Riven in order to rescue Atrus's wife. Myst III: Exile concerns Atrus's earnest attempt at creating a new world. He hopes this world will mark the rebirth of the D'ni, but before he finishes his book, a thief (portrayed in the game by actor Brad Dourif) breaks into his laboratory and mucks things up. You have to track this thief through worlds written by Atrus in his earlier years. Within each world you must right the wrongs the thief has created, all the while uncovering a deeper mystery surrounding his relationship to Atrus and his troublesome children. New to the game is a full 3-D landscape, which replaces the static prerendered artwork of the previous games. The gorgeous new graphics allow you to quickly pan and scan your way through an area, looking for puzzles and action spots with the hand cursor. The puzzles have been improved so that you can now see changes to the environment immediately after you solve one, rather than simply moving on to the next picture. Still, the puzzles are often wickedly difficult and may prove frustrating to new players. The environment is the true star of the game, and is sure to enchant players of all stripes. As before, the music and artwork are topnotch and immersing, and the experience is not easily forgotten. Myst fans of old will be delighted with this new installment, and those new to the series will be enchanted, provided they are willing to spend time on the puzzles, enjoy the scenery, and let the game carry them away. | ||

| Mystery Of Time & Space | Logan Interactive | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a point-and-click adventure game made with Adobe Flash and playable only online from the game's website. The object of the game is to figure out how to leave each room (or group of rooms) using items found nearby. The game is divided into "levels". When the game was first created in 2001, it consisted of only one level. As of this writing, there are 20 levels. The game begins in a small bedroom with simple furniture and a locked door. By careful examination of the room, you eventually find the way to unlock the door and move on to Level 2. Each level becomes progressively more elaborate and difficult with adjoining rooms and many more items to find. There are original puzzles to solve of various types, some of which are particularly mind-bending. Your inventory appears at the top of the screen at all times. Objects in inventory can be manipulated somewhat by using one on another. There is motion in the game (furniture moves, doors swing open, etc.) You play in first person, and there are no other characters and no voices. As actions are taken, comical text comments appear on-screen and can sometimes contain clues. The game screen is set in a window as default, but this can be changed to full screen in the options. Graphics are simple line drawings in vibrant colors. Cheerful MIDI music plays in the background, and there are sound effects. Both of these can be turned on or off. The option menu remains closed until you click on a graphic at the top right of the screen. Other options exist to adjust graphics quality, reposition where the text appears and more. The in-game chat feature allows you to communicate with others also playing the game. Your place is saved automatically in its own system cache when you exit, so clicking on "Continue" returns you to the beginning of the level you were working on when you left. The time you have spent playing is also recorded. The game has been translated into over 20 languages. The "Escape the room" subgenre of adventure game was coined from this game though there are many older examples of the point-and-click variation, such as Noctropolis. | ||

Nacah is the Hebrew word for Adventure and this game is a bible based point and click adventure game. The perspective is first-person and the navigation is slide show, similar to Myst. The player is stranded on a group of islands and the point of the game is to find a way off of the islands but otherwise there is no story. There are mechanical type puzzles but most of them are Bible based and having a Bible handy is recommended in solving this adventure. The primary quest of the game is to find 6 different pages listing the books of the Bible. They are not all easy to spot and you can't return to an area to search again if you miss one. So look carefully from all viewpoints, including behind you. The game was made by one person and their dedication is to be admired. | ||

| Nancy Drew 4: Treasure In The Royal Tower | Her Interactive, Inc. / DreamCatcher Interactive Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The fourth adventure in the Nancy Drew series finds Nancy vacationing at an old ski lodge in Wisconsin. But, as usual, trouble is afoot. The library has been vandalized (as if someone was looking for something?), a violent storm has snowed in everyone, and you must play as Nancy to unravel the mystery. Similar to the other Nancy Drew adventures, you get to step into Nancy's shoes and explore the old lodge to uncover clues through objects you pick up along the way and conversations with the other guests. Things heat up when Nancy learns that the lodge contains an old tower that has been sealed off. You quickly learn that the tower was brought over from France, and was Marie Antoinette's hiding place in her final months before her beheading during the French Revolution. Could Marie's famed treasure be hidden in the tower? Is that why the library was vandalized? And why is everyone acting so suspicious? It gives young girls an outstanding female role model, the likes of which you haven't encountered in any other kids' games to date. Who else, besides Nancy, is so smart, brave, witty, and adventuresome? It's hardly dumbed down the way many girls' games are. Even way above the minimum age range for this game (ages 10 and older), playing in the senior detective mode will challenge you (there's also a junior detective mode for younger players) - it will take hours and hours of thrilling gameplay to unravel the mystery. It moves quickly and is satisfying enough to keep anyone playing for long stretches. Lastly, it gets girls engaged in history. The integration of the Marie Antoinette story and related French history is enough to make you purchase a book on this intriguing royal figure to learn more. Other outstanding things include gorgeously designed backgrounds and 3-D environments, smooth gameplay, interesting and amusing characters, and the ability to use the Second Chance feature and go back to right before you made a fatal mistake. You can also tap into the minds of young women around the country on the message boards on the Her Interactive Web site. If you're ever stuck, you can ask this knowledgeable audience for hints or clues that might help you out of a jam. | ||

| Nancy Drew 5: The Final Scene | Her Interactive, Inc. | [top] | |

The fifth adventure in the Nancy Drew series has you greeted with the most gripping opening sequence yet in a Nancy Drew game. As the ageless, mystery-cracking heroine yourself, you accompany your friend Maya to an historical - yet dilapidated - theater to interview teen heartthrob Brady Armstrong for the opening of his new movie. As Maya disappears into the dressing room for the interview, you hear a scream, but when you charge in to investigate Maya is nowhere to be found. The question is, do you have what it takes to track down Maya's kidnapper before the theater is demolished? The most notable improvement in the game comes in the form of the distinctive characters. With each game, the script and character work get better and better. The dialog has a nice youthfulness and sense of humor missing from the previous games. You'll also love the choice of the old theater for a setting and the magic theme running throughout, but wish there were more nooks and crannies to explore. A minor nitpick is that the timeframe seems somewhat limiting. Previous Nancy Drew games had an open feel, there was no sense of urgency, and you solved the mystery in your own time. In The Final Scene, the gameplay is divided into three days, and you must accomplish specific tasks before you can move on to the next day. Though this structure lent itself well to the game's plot, it's also easy to get stuck on one clue. However, you can always consult the message boards at Her Interactive's Web site for help, clues, hints, and general support from an enthusiastic community of Nancy Drew lovers. | ||

Your character heads to Pawtuxet and begins an investigation into what has gone wrong with your friend. The first part of the game is very much like a detective story, as you scour the bleak seaside town for anyone who will give you a shred of information on your friend. As you learn more, new areas on the map open up for you to explore. | ||

The plot of the game, in a nutshell, is that the three friends are looking for the missing D'Artagnan (seduced and abducted by Milady), resist the wiles of the Cardinal, and going out and having fun. At the same time, they manage to go to a restaurant, in a bath, in a brothel, in a nunnery, visiting my lady, go in a dungeon, and even in the bedroom of the queen. In general, spending time with the musketeers is pretty fun. There are 9 levels with an almost 3D style. | ||

Specializing in the creation of games for young people, it is the hero of a cheese brand who has to solve two puzzles. The operation in identical. Pt'it Louis arrives on vacation. He meets a friend who tells him that serious difficulties are hanging over the resort. In the mountains, it is breeders who have disappeared and who will have to be found. At the sea, it is his friend Nicolas who has vanished. In both cases, you will need to go through mini-games to progress in your adventure. Taking up all the point and click codes intended for young people, with in particular a shimmering color, the game does not innovate but fully does the job. Less scripted than the two Yoco games, it is also easier at the mini-game level. The set is therefore reserved in priority for the youngest and in particular for 5-7 years. | ||

The Quill was a text adventure creation tool published on the ZX Spectrum by Gilsoft in December 1983. Although available to the general public, it was used by several games companies to create best-selling titles; over 450 commercially published titles for the ZX Spectrum. In 1986, an improved version was released named the Professional Adventure Writer or PAW. It's textual input parser was more sophisticated, meaning inputs were no longer confined to the two-word telegraphic verb noun (e.g. "GO WEST; TAKE LAMP") style. PAW also supported NPCs, different character sets, and full use of the memory of the 128K ZX Spectrum. An updated version of the CP/M version of PAW for MS-DOS was later released by Graeme Yeandle for free as PC Adventure Writer. Later a program called WinPAW was written by Douglas Harter. It could read adventures written in PAW, but ran under MS-Windows and had a few extensions to the original. The adventures made in WinPAW could only be played using the MS Windows runtime. In 2009 InPAWS was released in its first version. It allows you to extract PAW adventures, edit them or create from scratch and write back a database for PAW for either Amstrad CPC or ZX Spectrum. It thus also allows PAW adventures to be ported between the systems. | ||

Designed with the Adventure Game Studio engine, these series of three games are freeware point-and-click adventure games inspired by Monkey Island, which integrate Sierra's icon-based interface and LucasArts' verbs list. Pirate Fry and Volcano Island - Fry is a pirate who needs to acquire his pirating license since the passing of a new rule in his guild. He has to take three tests: kill someone, steal something valuable and redeem himself. After successfully passing a logic test, he's sent to Volcano Island in order to fulfill his triple objective; an island that is the territory of terrible headhunters. Will Fry remain a pirate or will he die so young? The gameplay is in classic point-and-click fashion. The player has to select an action and then click on the object or the person to interact. There are four actions: "walk", "look", "talk" and "use/interact". Objects can be picked up in order to combine them or to use them later. They are stored in a inventory accessible at all times. Pirate Fry 2: The Hand of Anturus (2004) - After getting his license for his job of pirate, Fry is given a secret mission by the new chief of his guild. He has to find the Hand of Anturus, still in the town, before the mercenaries.

Created using Chris Jones' Adventure Game Studio, this bloody detective non-linear story with multiple endings uses an interface very similiar to Sierra's old point & click adventure games. 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. It won just about every award at the 2001 AGS awards. | ||

An edgy suspense story about obsession, art, eroticism and murder, Point of View is an interactive movie from the same stable and very much in the same vein as Tender Loving Care. Writer/director David Wheeler and designer/producer Rob Landeros previously worked on the Seventh Guest and 11th Hour game series. Jane (a very appropriately attractive Stephanie Von Pfetten) is a beautiful artist who watches her neighbor, a musician named Frank (Chris Bradford) and takes photographs of him, creating composite paintings of the two of them together. Her life is also entwined with that of her friend Mary, who is carrying on a relationship through the personal ads in the local newspaper. From this basis, an increasingly complex storyline develops as we learn more about the characters and the things hidden in their pasts, along with their motivations and thought processes. The storyline is built from our own attitudes and our opinion of the behavior of the characters, not just chapter by chapter, but scene by scene. You watch a chapter from a movie, and then get to answer a series of questions which will shape the direction the movie takes over the next and subsequent chapters. There are 12 chapters in all, and each is followed by the question and answer session. "Explore" allows you to examine certain personal effects and other material (often slightly amusing) by choosing them from a menu, while "Encounters" allows you to choose face-to-face interactions with the characters, who will tell you some of their innermost thoughts about the developing situation. The result is the "movie you made", which you can then watch uninterrupted from start to finish should you want to do so. The movie is shot in Vancouver, and local musicians Payten Rule and Jefreejon provide the music. | ||

| Quest For Glory 4 1/2: So You Thought You Were A Hero? | Unknown | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
All is not well in the valley of Spielburg. Elsa has disappeared (again) and the sheriff has been murdered. The rest of the valley is in chaos and the influx of heroes has done little to calm the valley. Your job is not done. It's time to go back to Spielburg. That is the premise of the "new" Quest for Glory, a legendary series that created a new hybrid and managed to combine RPG and Adventure in one kind that could satisfy the fans of both genres. The game is basically a parody of the first game of the series. A lot of good humor, satire of the situations that the player found himself in, in the original games. QFG 4 1/2 was made with the DOS version of AGS (Adventure Game Studio), is playable in Windows 95/98/2000, and supports 3 different resolutions. Beautiful handmade graphics will make you feel nostalgic about those days that a good designer with vivid imagination was enough to create a game that rocks. This game is rated R for adult and offensive material. ;) | ||

This is a simplified quest with an educational element in astronomy. Tonight, Jérôme looks at his bedroom window and wonders... The moon has completely disappeared from the sky. It's strange because usually she is in the sky when Jerome goes to bed. Grandfather had even pointed out to him that the Moon was round like a cookie. But for the past few days she had rather looked like a crunchy cookie. And this evening, nothing more .... By leaving with Jérôme in search of the Moon Cracker, it is a long journey which awaits you and which will lead you to the different planets of the solar system. You will meet many characters. Everyone has their own idea about the disappearance of the Moon, but be especially wary of Passe-Pieds, this horrible unscrupulous detective who has followed Jerome everywhere and who is determined to lock him up at all costs. In this game quite often, it happens that Casse-Pieds wins and, in this case, it's a great adventure for children aged 10 and over. | ||

| Reality on the Norm | Ben Croshaw (Yahtzee) and others | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Reality-On-The-Norm is a long-running series of games (most of them made in AGS), created by many different people, all of them set in a shared world. The setting for the games is a fictional town of Reality-on-the-Norm (or simply "Reality" for short), hardly an ordinary town, inhabited by a multitude of peculiar individuals, introduced by the numerous RotN authors. Any type of game which adheres to the basic rules is accepted into the project, although adventure games are the majority. The concept of the project has been created around 2000 on the AGS forums. The very first game in the series was "Lunchtime of the Damned." In it teenage magician Davy Jones, and his girlfriend Elandra, perform a resurrection ritual at the graveyard in hopes of bringing a deceased local to life. But everything goes horribly wrong, and they end up becoming unwitting progenitors of a brain-craving zombie. Can Davy put an end to the undead menace's existence? The puzzles are, although few, rather good. They shouldn't give you any trouble. And if they do, you won't have to look long for the solution as the setting is limited. Music is, apart from a very short Reality on the Norm theme song, all unoriginal. They're all MIDI, and they all sound quite neutral. They shouldn't annoy you. These games are very short, and offer perhaps an hour or less of gameplay. But it's the continuance of the series, and the fact that new games get released on a rather fast basis, that makes this series unique. Since the games are designed by different designers, they differ a bit in style from chapter to chapter. However, as they share the same backgrounds, characters and overall atmosphere, you'll feel at home in all RON games once you've played one. | ||

In the Reconstructors series, students learn about the health effects of drugs of abuse while covering substantial neuroscience content. The series consists of three independent web adventures: In Uncommon Scents, students investigate a chemical accident and learn about the health effects of exposure to toxic chemicals. By learning about the accidental impact of toxic vapors, the player then discovers the serious consequences of intentional use of inhalants. In Nothing To Rave About, students are asked to uncover why there has been a dramatic increase in the number of teens admitted to the emergency room after partying at a local dance club. During their investigation, they learn how ecstasy and other club drugs act on the nervous system. In A Plaguing Problem, students “reconstruct” lost knowledge about pain relieving drugs such as opiates. They learn about concepts such as neurotransmission, the neurobiology and history underlying drug addiction, and pain management. In each adventure, players help solve a drug-related case or problem. They gather scientific evidence, collect and interpret data, conduct laboratory experiments, and consult with experts to solve the case. They learn how drugs affect the body, especially the nervous system, so that they can make wise health choices when encountering drugs of abuse. The Reconstructors web adventures are divided into consecutive episodes, each playable in 30–45 minutes. | ||

You play as Fred Reynolds, a young university student whose Indian fiancee has been kidnapped by Kali worshippers bent on human sacrifices and overthrow of the Indian government. You must now make your way to New Delhi and beyond to find her and stop the evil cult before it is too late. The game is very pretty to look at. The graphics truly bring out the spectacular sights in India, and the photorealistic environments are very detailed (you can also pan around the screen similar to recent Cryo games). The best thing about the game is that your search is conducted on two fronts: first, during the waking hours, you will explore present-day urban India. But at night, in your dreams, you explore the magical India of old. This is a brilliant stroke that makes the game more satisfying. While the story is intriguing, the puzzles are quite average, and some even suffer from Myst-style 'we want to put a logic puzzle here for the hell of it, even if it has nothing to do with the story' mentality. Still, beautiful cut-scenes that appear to move the story along once you solve the puzzles make it worthwhile. The only problem with the game is that it is very easy, and very short. | ||

Robinson Crusoe is an interactive book combined with an adventure game based on the 1719 classic of the same name. The adventure half is in first-person with 360º panoramic views. Gameplay is similar to Myst and its sequels, albeit more linear as the player has to perform certain tasks to move forward. The interactive part works as guide book to the adventure portion, where the player can read and listen to the story (narrated by Martin Jarvis), click on the animated illustrations and collect clues to solve the adventure puzzles. Progress is saved as a "bookmark" when exiting the game. | ||

Designed with the Adventure Game Studio engine, these series of three games are freeware point-and-click adventure games inspired by Space Quest and Monkey Island, which integrate Sierra's icon-based interface and LucasArts' verbs list. Rode Kill: A Day in the Life - Continuing the tradition of great adventure faring sanitation engineers, the game is the story of a regular guy Rodney Kill, just trying to get through another work day. That's where you come in. You see, today happens to be the day when the starship crew gets to go on shore leave. Shore leave is a great thing involving not working and having fun. The problem is, Rode can't join his crew mates until he finishes his duties, and that's where it all starts. Rode Quest (2002) - Rodney Kill, intergalactic scapegoat, has been ordered to transport to the surface of an uncharted planet, and retrieve food for Captain Iota Bravery's pet, Stenchie the dog. No matter how many lives are lost, Stenchie is guaranteed food at it's every whim. So now it is up to Rode to solve this puzzle of puzzles and save the day. Most of the actions involve collecting berries for the dog; the player will also have to escape from cannibals and assist a crew mate. Rode Quest 2: The Sweet Smell of Stenchie (2003) - The starship Visionairo you are flying on is in peril. Captain Iota Bravery's pet, Stenchie the dog, has eaten something not good for the stomach and sets the control room in an unclean state. Rodney Kill needs should stop the dog and get the room cleaned. The text parser from the first game is no longer used. The game also sports a Puke-O-Meter, which increases as time goes on. The faster the game is finished, the more pleasant the comments on the player's actions will be in the end. | ||

For New Yorker, Brian Basco, scientific study and having a career in Applied Physics is everything. He is as "excited as a kid in a candy store" when his application for a position at the University of Berkeley is accepted. Before setting out on the long trip from New York to California, Brian remembers one last errand to do. Little does he know that this slight detour would change his life, and his life style, forever. Minding his own business driving along the New York streets on the way to a bookstore, he cannot avoid hitting the beautiful girl who runs out in front of his car. He does the right thing and takes her to the hospital. When she comes to, he learns that she witnessed a murder and that vicious gangsters are after her. Because Brian helped her, his life is also in danger. And so the story of Brian and Gina begins... In this point-and-click adventure, you play Brian in 3rd person as he figures out how to avoid and escape the Mafia-like thugs chasing them. Their travels will take them to a variety of different places (a Museum, the Arizona desert etc.) during the six game chapters. Put your thinking cap on to solve situations and puzzles using objects and conversation with people they meet. The game features drawn cartoon-like 2D and 3D graphics and cut-scenes. Its original soundtrack includes over 24 songs. Interact with almost 30 different characters with interesting, and often comical, personalities. Find and use a multitude of items that can be manipulated within the inventory window. A Special Edition later was a release that featured additional content such as cutscenes in higher resolution, extended dialogues, a making of video, and outtakes. | ||

| Schizm: Mysterious Journey | Detalion / DreamCatcher Interactive Inc. | [top] | |

The year is 2083. A scientific team has been sent to the deserted planet Argilus and never came back. You are a member of a supply ship crew, whose task is to check the bases, and it becomes your mission to uncover the mystery behind the planet and to find the vanished camerades. "Schizm" is a traditional 1-st person perspective adventure in the style of graphical "Zork" games. The game is reminiscent of the Myst series of games (especially Riven) in that the environment is rendered very realistically and in exceptionally high detail. Movement and interaction in the game is very similar to that in the Myst games. The background sounds are realistic and dynamic (for example, footsteps change as a character walks over different surfaces such as metal and stone, and echo when inside tunnels). The background music is very atmospheric and highly evocative. A major distinguishing feature of Schizm is that the player can switch control between the two characters at any time. There are puzzles which require both characters to be performing actions at the same time before they can be solved. It features 180-degree movement and was released on DVD, although it has also a scaled-down 5 CD version. The CD version does not include all the puzzles that appear in the DVD release and was also missing some of the background story, but the DVD is missing the intro FMV. | ||

The Secrets of Alamut (aka "Legend Part 2") begins where the first game The Legend of the Prophet and the Assassin left off (which is a sequel to Pilgrim) as the main character, Ay-Sayf, sits beside the campfire in the desert. Still searching for the prophet Simon de Lancrois, Ay-Sayf knows his next destination is Alamut, where he has been told he must overcome treacherous traps and trials. You'll again play the role of Ay-Sayf. The compelling story will lead you into the mysterious mountain as you help him find not only the prophet, but also the reasons behind strange dreams that haunt his sleep. The game is quite short but playing both parts together (in North America, Legend Of The Prophet And The Assassin contained Secrets Of Alamut in same package) is a satisfying experience. | ||

The game is primarily an adventure, but there are RPG elements as well: Serguei accumulates experience and learns new spells by completing quests. 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.

This is an entertaining historical CD-ROM adventure game which takes you across the Nile and into the temples and burial chambers under the Egyptian pyramids. The Pharaoh has mysteriously lost his divine power and it's your mission to help him before chaos engulfs the kingdom - click on the characters and they'll talk to you and offer objects such as scrolls which help you in your quest to unravel the puzzle. It's organized like a detective story - you must successfully collect royal symbols of the Pharaoh (including a double crown, cross and a whip) to solve it. It imaginatively brings ancient Egypt to life. The sound effects add to the atmosphere, and a guided tour gives valuable tips on how to call up maps and get to the next Egyptian destination - which could mean dodging snapping crocodiles! Accompany Sethi, the young boy, and Pepi, his monkey, and you'll soon be immersed in villages, temples and workshops, meeting peasants, scribes and priests along the way. There are many fun activities within the game, including the mummification workshop where the secrets of mummification are explained.

The game begins at a time when Los Angeles is bubbling with excitement and anticipation. A new police chief arrives that very morning from the port of San Pedro. Don Diego (accompanied by Sergeant Garcia and his father Don Alejandro) sees the horse-drawn carriage arriving. As the clumsy Sergeant does his best to whip his patrol into shape to salute their hierarchical superior properly, Don Alejandro suddenly looks as if he's seen a ghost. He has a feeling he recognises the person who is being introduced as Capitan Montero. In an abrupt, violent flash, he relives a painful episode from the past. In 1810, as a gentleman living in Spain, Don Alejandro witnessed a horrifying episode during the Peninsular War with Napoleonic France; the Saragossa Massacre. Don Alejandro, faithful to the Spanish cause, almost died under the sword of Capitan Montero. A traitor to the Spanish nation, this infamous collaborator worked for the imperial French troops. Feared and hated by an entire race of people, he finally succumbed in a duel against Don Alejandro. Later on, he was forced to recount the painful episode of war to his son. Once peace was restored, Don Alejandro moved to a Spanish colony in California. There's seven extensive chapters brimming with suspense and seduction, divided into various tasks (spying, rescue missions) through 28 different locations. A blend of fighting styles will increasingly test your metal the further you progress in the game and the harder the level. You can choose between 2 degrees of difficulty. There's also 700 scenes fully animated in motion capture and a fully animated clock. | ||

This is an entertaining cartoon-like interpretation of the traditional fairy tale from the Grimm Brothers. Each step of the way, you are invited to take part in interactive games including fending off lightning flashes from the witch and avoiding being eaten by a hungry stork. Clear symbols run along the foot of your screen to explain exactly how to find your way around and you can easily adjust the volume, go back to the last picture or make the games easier to play. At the start the hero of the tale Prince Edward finds his coach stuck in the mud and tries to move it but then the cold-looking witch appears and the trouble starts - he's turned into a frog and to cast off the spell he must find a princess who is prepared to kiss him. To add to the fun, two cheerful characters, Yoyo and Doc Croc, speak and take part in the story, offering to help the characters. This is an imaginative title and it invites young children to enter the real world of fairy tales. This title works well as a mixture of narration and games. | ||

This fan-made freeware takes place in between the events of Space Quest 2 and Space Quest 3. Basically, this space hero/janitor/all-around great guy dude named Roger Wilco is floating in an escape pod when a mysterious shockwave forces the pod to crash-land on a jungle planet. Roger, after finding his hair has mysteriously changed color (from brown to blonde--and no, he didn't dye it!), must find a way off of the planet. It deserves credit for his/her brilliant use of Sierra's AGI engine. Compare a shot of Space Quest 2 to The Lost Chapter. Wowsa! Yes, the graphics are severely dated, but what are you gonna expect from a 15-year-old engine? Gameplay is like every other Sierra AGI game. The arrow keys make Roger walk around, and a text parser takes all input (i.e., EAT MOLD or DANCE). Puzzles are mainly inventory-based, and since all of the other Space Quest games had Roger stuffing and removing huge objects from his pockets (and I know that sounds wrong), it's a nice throwback to the series. There are also some mind-boggling, insanely difficult puzzles - the squid maze comes to mind. Music is obviously limited to the tooting and doodling of the IBM internal speaker, meaning the main theme sort of sounds like, "Toot to doo doo doo da dee deedle doo." But hey, that's the most the engine can support, so any music is welcome. It is, by far, the best and most expansive fan-made adventure to date--it's as big, if not bigger, than Space Quest 2. If you've ever played a Sierra adventure (and enjoyed it), The Lost Chapter is a must-play. | ||

Stupid Invaders is based on a tv cartoon series and begins with five aliens (with six heads) crash-landing on Earth: Bud, Etno, Stereo, Gorgious, and Candy. They take up residence in an abandoned house while waiting for Etno to repair the flying saucer so they can return home. Meanwhile, deep in a remote area of the desert known only as (insert anticipation-building music here) Area 52, hidden away in a secret laboratory, the mad scientist Dr. Sakarine is plotting to capture the aliens so he can do some vivisection experiments on them. And it's not sex change operations (much to Candy's dismay)! Dr. Sakarine sends his henchman, Bolok, out to capture the aliens and their ship. Bolok shows up at the house where the aliens are staying just as Etno puts the finishing touches on the spaceship repair. Only by sheer luck, and TV addiction, does Bud escape Bolok's fearsome ice gun. As you can probably guess, Bud must then free his compatriots if they are to have any hope of going home again. The game then plays out over four chapters, and umpteen million locations, and each alien gets multiple turns at being the main character ("hero," if you will). | ||

Tintin and Snowy are the major characters through over 20 levels with a usual boss at the end of each one and bonuses. Levels include races on boat, plane, jeep, and the underwater shark submarine. Also, you won't miss out on usual platform action. To join these adventures together, a dream sequence is used. Tintin is going to the presentation of Professor Calculus's new invention, but the new creation isn't working, as usual. Meanwhile, Snowy falls asleep and starts dreaming about the wild adventures that they have been on together. Many of the levels play completely differently to one another. The main genres incorporated are platform, flying, racing and several other bonus games. Travel to the desert, visit an exotic island and even go to the moon. Tintin is capable of a rather broad variety of movements like: to walk, run, jump, balance himself, grip and climb. It is also possible for him: to scare away certain animals and to capture enemies using the flash of his camera, to use his fists, and to throw chloroform bottles to neutralize certain characters. Another part of the play is to collect parts of a statue of Snowy which will give access to bonus levels if these are all collected. | ||

| Udos Sägner: Sveakampen [Sw] | Paradox Entertainment AB / Levande Böcker i Norden AB | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The year is 890 AD and a young Swede known as Udo is making himself ready to go to the island of Birkö to take part in an old custom known as Sveakampen, where the bravest and most skilled Northern fighters compete under peaceful forms. This turns out to be easier said than done and a number of tasks has to performed before Udo can reach his destination. Udo got a ship but it's not in the best condition and is in need of some massive repairs before it can set sail. Once at Birkö, Udo and his crew gets to compete in the games but it is not long before Udo gets involved in far more serious matters. The king is being attacked by his brother who wants to take control of the crown and the only one to help him against the usurper is of course Udo. This is an adventure game based on the book Sveakampen by Martin Eriksson (more known as E-Type). Due to it being targeted towards a younger audience, the gameplay is less complex than many traditional games of the genre, but solving puzzles and interacting with the many characters of the game is still at its core. The game world is in full 3D and the player takes control of Udo from a third person perspective. Basically there is three different commands that can be used on characters or objects: talk, give and pick up. Objects that are picked up are stored in Udo's inventory and can be used to interact with other objects. In his inventory, Udo has a diary that stores important information about what needs to be done to complete the task that lies ahead. Udo will meet many different characters in his journey, some are friendly while others are not, and Udo therefore has to talk to them in different ways. Often it's best to be polite but in some cases it's necessary to use stronger words. At times the player gets to play as other characters that Udo meets in his travels. The game also has some sword fights which are simple turn based affairs. The player chooses between three strikes (high, low or middle) and depending on how the enemy is positioning his shield he will either hit or miss. After a strike the enemy does the same thing and the player instead has to choose a position of his shield. | ||

Centuries ago, two dozen men were carefully chosen to become immortal, each possessing different qualities which would lead the world into a future free of strife, hunger and oppression. Combining science and the technology of clock making of the time, the Watchmaker devised a formula to take his plan to fruition - and it came to pass.

You are dropped inside the castle to find the Watchmaker's ancient clock. Explore the castle and its surrounding gardens; find hidden rooms and passageways; interrogate the castle's current residents; dig through the old records; and solve ancient puzzles.

| White Day: A Labyrinth Named School | Sonnori / 4AM Entertainment | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
WhiteDay is a fear-inducing horror-survival game viewed, for the first time ever in this genre, completely from a first-person perspective. It unfolds like a movie. The player becomes a love-sick teenager entering the local school late at night to return his dream girl's diary, which she lost earlier in the day, and to drop off a token of affection--WhiteDay chocolates. Players are introduced to two of the central characters, talking about ghost stories, in one of the school's many haunted corridors. It isn't long before the first problem of disabling the school alarm system becomes a priority. During this challenge the game takes a very dark turn, as you witness the janitor club a man to death with a baseball bat, while the sounds of young and decidedly spooky children laugh. There are no weapons in WhiteDay, but many ingenious puzzles litter the way: the player disables alarm systems, opens combination safes and rescues trapped school kids from weird apparitions. The difficulty setting helps the player to get into the story while providing a harder challenge at every turn. Taking the genre one step further, Sonnori have included a multiplayer feature that adds a real-time scare factor to the game as online players can choose a role from a host of horrors including ghost, devil or janitor or--as per the single player mode--a hapless and unarmed school kid. Dusky scenary, dismal sound and the clink of the guard will make you more terrified. There are more than 2 endings for each heroine chosen. After you've seen whole 7 endings, you would be shocked with its secret. Since the time the demonstration of 'White Day' was released, it has been well spoken of its excellent quality, and its well-described Korean traditional horror. There is an interesting behind story of it. At first the game was released, people complained much, because of its horrification that they can never continue playing it. Therefore, the developer had to make a patch to make it 'less scary'. However, just as other Korean games, the sales of 'White Day' was extremely poor because of the illegal duplication, and it completely failed in a commercial part. In 2017, an Upgraded Steam version was released that was completely rebuilt for modern gamers, and finally localized for a western audience. It has all-new visuals and audio effects, discover a brand-new character, scenario, reimagined ghosts and special endings created specifically for this remake. | ||

Halvar wants to start an exciting sea voyage with his strong men and Wickie is not allowed to ride. "You're just half a serving, Wickie." Of course, Wickie does not see that at all: "But I would like to ride." Urobe puts in a good word for him: "Wickie is weak, but he has a head, boss, that could be useful to us." Halvar points out: "If you can prove that you are strong, persistent and skilled, then you can ride." Here we go. With your help, Wickie will manage it. In the first computer episode titled "The Test of Courage" Wickie has to prove himself three times, so he can go on a big trip with the Vikings. The little players should help him with his exams and prove their skills in four construction tasks and three (rather modest) games of skill. The motto of course is this time: "Wisdom goes before muscle power". When it comes to catching more fish than the best angler, defeating the fastest swimmer in the competition, or towing more stones than the strong Halvar, Wickie has to come up with something special every time. So with the help of the player he constructs a sophisticated fish catching machine, builds a kite or lays a water pipe. To surpass his father in stone, Wickie builds a giant slingshot, which allows him to transport the heavy chunks quickly and effortlessly from one place to another (see also the first episode of the TV animated series). The paternal praise holds in the face of this construction, however, in the limits: "What have you since again built a nonsense!" That it actually needed some muscle power to bend the birch trunks and lashed to the ground, does the genius of the fixed small Guys here no break. After all, we move in a fictional Viking world and enjoy all the poetic freedom in digital narrative medium. | ||

| Zero Comico [It] | GMM Entertainment, Oogo Srl / Medusa Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This Italian adventure game is dedicated to the characters of Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo, with numerous references to their shows and parodies of other video games. It is distributed by Medusa Games, part of Medusa Film, distributor of the trio's films. In the game, Aldo Giovanni and Giacomo are dubbed by themselves. The game is steeped in the comedy of the trio and also some jokes already used in theatrical performances. The name "zero comedian" derives from a joke of the trio I corti by Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo , in which the "comic zero", understood philosophically as the simplest possible comic message, is represented by Tafazzi , historical character played by Giacomo. It takes place on Earth in the third millennium. An elusive technocratic regime established by the planetary federation forces the planet's population to live inside bunker houses; the only contact with the outside world is television. Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo live in one of these bunker houses; one day they are contacted by television by an individual (who looks like Tafazzi ), who tells them that they are the people who will have to destroy Pdor, the head of the regime, and bring happiness back to the whole planet. Entering the kingdom of Pdor, he explains that they will have to cross five levels in the world of video games, at the completion of each of these levels will be given a piece of the device that will restore happiness to the whole planet, thus defeating Pdor. Each level has a title similar to something done or said by the trio: for example, level 3 is called "Ask me if I am a pirate", referring to the movie Ask me if I am happy ; level 4 is called "Tel chi l'alienum", referring to Tel chi el telùn , theatrical performance of the three; level 5 is called "The Pyramid of Pdor", a clear reference to Pdor, one of the characters played by Giovanni in the previously mentioned theatrical performance. In the first level the protagonists face the games of the origins ( Pac-Man, Breakout, Scramble, Pitfall ) with the aim of repairing a spaceship to defeat the aliens (here equivalent to those of Space Invaders ). The second level is dedicated to the world of platform games like Super Mario Bros. or Rainbow Islands and it is here that Aldo Giovanni and Giacomo have to face the mostriciattoli, which will be eliminated with bombs (reference to Bomberman ) to face the boss, the Sicilian gorillone Don Kong ( Donkey Kong ), which claims to be the ruler of the whole platforming world. In the third level, inspired by the famous sagas of Monkey Island and Resident Evil , the trio will have to find the elements to compose a Voodoo doll that will stop the zombies and allow them to proceed with the challenge. In the level there is also a Japanese wrestler, with the appearance of Street Fighter and Ken the Warrior . To get the ingredients needed to create the voodoo doll, both LeChuck (a parody of the infamous LeChuck) and the Japanese wrestler (champion of the Occhiuto School) must be beaten in an insult competition. Set in a space ship, the three of them will have to help a depressed marine defeat the infamous Aglien monster, which feeds only on Martian garlic. The level is inspired by the Alien saga , while the space marine can be traced back to many videogames (first of all Doom ), and the on-board computer that goes mad refers to HAL 9000 of 2001: A space odyssey. The last level is inspired by Tomb Raider: the famous archaeologist Larabella Croff is in danger, she has indeed lost her bra due to a curse and our heroes will then have to recover it in the Egyptian pyramid in which they are imprisoned. | ||

The game is set on the insect kingdom of Bugdom, where the bad fireants have overthrown the government and kidnapped all the ladybugs. You play as pill bug Rollie McFly, who takes it upon himself to rescue everyone and save the day by riding bigger bugs, jumping around and kicking some fireant booty. The game uses fully 3d accelerated polygonal graphics. It has over 23 different bug enemies, and 10 huge & exciting levels with lots of terrains & environments to explore. Publisher Ideas From the Deep contacted the FBI's intellectual crime division, accusing Take-Two Interactive of having sold illegal copies of Bugdom, under the Global Star label, since January 2002. Take 2 had acquired the license in 2000 through the acquisition of Gathering, but failed to keep it when they defaulted on the payment to Pangea. IFD picked up the license in January 2002, but Take 2 continued selling copies. In Dec/2020, a freeware version was released to run on modern o/s. | ||

Some levels are hidden, and can only be accessed through a secret exit. After the end of 6 levels (available in shareware demo), you must face a boss. 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 & diamonds in the game. Some are visible, some are hidden. 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. Charlie can not only run and jump, he can also dive. This is needed to find hidden areas in the level. On his adventure, Charlie can find a lot of Power-Ups, mostly hidden in crates, which shatters if you jump on top of them. 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). An Expansion Pack with 18 new levels is also available. These levels are based upon the original levels (same style and music), but offer complete new areas to explore. You can collect over 4000 coins and diamonds! | ||

While the Allies and the Soviets were fighting each other in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, Yuri (the psychic adviser to the Soviet Premier) was secretly building his own army of clones and mutations. Once the war ended, Yuri launched his own attempt to take over the Earth with a series of psychic dominators designed to turn the world's population into his puppets. The only chance to stop him lies in using Einstein's chronotechnology to travel back in time and destroy the dominators before they can come on line. There are two single player campaigns here, one for the Allies and one for the Soviets. Both are seven missions long and pit the player against Yuri's monstrous forces. In addition, each army gets five new units/buildings to aid their war efforts. For the Allies, there's anti-tank guardian infantry, Navy Seals, and robot tanks. The Soviets gain siege helicopters, battle bunkers, and "Boris" the Russian equivalent of Tanya. Also, the entire cast of Red Alert 2 returns to reprise their roles in the campaign cinematics. Although there is no single player campaign for Yuri, his army becomes available as a third side in the multiplayer game with 13 new units and 11 new buildings. Combat forces include mutated brutes, Yuri clones, boomer submarines, and UFO like floating discs. Bases are built around bio-reactors and grinders (which shred captured units and refund cash) and defended with mind-control towers and gattling turrets. Yuri's strength leans heavily on his abilities to take over enemy troops with psychic units like the "master mind", a vehicle that can brainwash nearby enemies and turn them against their owner. | ||

Your virtual puppies. It's the Hurray version for Windows of the famous game "Tamagotchi" (which in Japanese means "love egg"), the egg with the virtual chick. The advantages of this version that is played on the computer are that you don't despair when your puppy dies because you can have another one right away, and it's not a repetitive game because when you're tired of raising chicks, you can adopt a kitten or a seedling. Once you have chosen your puppy to raise, as if it were a pet in the flesh, it will be necessary to feed it, play with it and clean it all day long. In the program there is one of the best combinations of vital parameters and actions that interact with them, and random events will make the simulation even more lively. The game can be frozen and resumed later. | ||

This free game is seen in a traditional platform side view and players control Harold the Homeboy as he attempts to climb a tower of infinite height whilst doing cool jumps and moves in order to get a high score and awe from his friends in the hood. The main game mechanic is that the faster Harold runs, the higher he can jump. This can be used to pick up speed in order to jump several stories in one go, something which is required to string together combination jumps which in turn score the most point. This is made harder by the fact that the screen where the player is seen is constantly moved upwards, faster and faster, and the player must keep up or forfeit the game. Controls are very simple with only left, right and jump being used. Replays can be recorded and shared with friends and via a global online highscore function. The game also supports custom characters which either can be created by the user or downloaded from the net. | ||

This fantastic program will have your brain working as hard as a mandrill on a conveyer belt with bananas dangling in front of it. It gives players dozens of tools that perform an action: balls that bounce, cats that chase (and don't bounce), pulleys, ropes, generators, and yes, mandrill baboons on conveyer belts, bananas a-dangle in front of them. Then players are given a problem to solve with all of this crazy energy. Here's an example: in one puzzle called "Wood is Good," players must get three balls into a box, make wooden toast, and wood-smoke a hunk of gouda cheese for a mouse. Among the tools available to accomplish this task are a bike pump and an antigravity pad. And this is one of the easy puzzles. There are 250 gizmos to build here, some designed for single players and some designed for head-to-head puzzling competition. There is also a field where players can design their own Rube Goldberg Machine from scratch. The vast amount of projects and their complexity make this a program with staying power. Mercifully, there is a tutorial that takes rookies and right-brainers in hand. Players can choose four levels of difficulty: easy, which is quite challenging; to expert, which is insane. Mitigating the challenge factor is a function that turns the cursor into a question mark, and allows players to inspect gadget elements and get in-depth information about what each object and surface does. This game does a great job graphically. The well-rendered objects all perform as they ought, and form never hinders function. A thoughtful extra is a place where mad scientists can mess with their invention's appearance and background music: nice final touches for folks who want to take their custom-built games online to challenge others who are addicted to The Incredible Machine. This program's biggest strength is that it manages to put a humorous and creative spin on physics and engineering. They're not just giving you levers and weights to work with, they're giving you bottle rockets and alligators. | ||

A typical platform game but with 3D cell-shaded pre-rendered graphic horizontal action, where you play as a bachelor cabbage, and select one of your vegetable friends while traveling the world in each country to fight monsters and share food-related information. The last stage of Korea has the difficulty which is quite atrocious. The character design is quite fine. It’s quite well made in most respects, from the above-average music to the high-res graphics. The game is clearly designed for children however, with cutesy characters and enemies throughout. But this is not much of a hindrance when it comes to enjoying the game. It’s quite effective in character portrayal, and makes for greater ease of animation. Thus the game moves very well, and has some pleasantly distinctive worlds to traverse. The gameplay is basically, jump, run, shoot and punch. Tapping the punch button yields a set combo designed for mindless enemy pounding. The final level transforms the game into a shooter of about average difficulty (traditional horizontal shooter, not bullet-hell style), which coupled with the between-level minigames makes for a varied and largely enjoyable playthrough. | ||

| Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 | Crystal Dynamics / Eidos Interactive | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Soul Reaver 2, despite its name, is actually the third game in the Legacy of Kain series that debuted with Blood Omen. It concerns a vampire named Raziel and his quest through time to destroy the evil blood-sucking vampire Kain. It's a complicated and confusing plot involving a mysterious being known as the Elder God, lots of dimensional and time travel, nods and references to the previous games in the series, and plenty of combat, puzzle solving, and adventure. You needn't have played the previous games to make sense of this title's plot (although it certainly helps), so newbies and series vets alike will find this a solid and well-built adventure. The game is played in third-person perspective, and, like most games of that type, it features a lot of climbing, jumping, and puzzle solving through the fine art of pushing things, climbing on them, and exploring for powerful items. Raziel has access to all kinds of power-ups for his mighty weapon, the Soul Reaver sword that lets him suck the spirit energy from fallen foes. He can glide using his spirit wings and enter a shadowy spectral dimension at will that allows him to pass through certain barriers like a ghost. Journey through canyons, swamps, temples, and even time itself as you rush headlong to come face to face with your inescapable destiny. The sword plays a much more central role to the gameplay than in previous installments. For one thing, you can now summon it at will, regardless of your health status. But there are also limits in place that keep you from overusing it. If you suck too many souls, it begins to draw power from you. Raziel can no longer sneak up and kill foes without a fair fight, but combat in this game is more fun than in previous games. Each enemy combatant fights well, making each fight something to enjoy rather than avoid. Many unanswered questions are answered here, but new ones crop up, and some will be pleased to hear this third game also ends with a cliffhanger. In Dec/2024, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered was released with ability to play in original or remastered graphics. | ||

| Lego Bionicle: The Legend of Mata Nui (cancelled) | Saffire, Litestone Studios / Lego Software | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a canceled action-adventure video game based on the Lego Group's Bionicle line of constructible action figures. It was intended to release on Microsoft Windows computers in late 2001 and the GameCube in early 2002. It was designed as a direct sequel to Saffire's Game Boy Advance game Lego Bionicle: Quest for the Toa, which was released in October 2001. The story was meant to serve as a conclusion to the 2001 Bionicle story arc, focusing on the Toa, heroic elemental warriors destined to defeat the evil Makuta, who is attacking the island of Mata Nui with corrupted Rahi animals. It has a three-dimensional, third-person perspective and a similar gameplay style to The Legend of Zelda games Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, with the player collecting items that enable them to progress further in the game's open environments. Players are tasked with rescuing villagers and defeating Makuta's Rahi and elemental monsters. Each Toa possesses unique abilities based on the element that they control, and additional abilities can be gained by finding the powerful Kanohi masks scattered throughout the island. Development began in early 2000 and lasted until October 2001, when the game was suddenly canceled two months away from its planned December release. According to the game's development team, it was around 90% complete at the time of its cancellation, with most of the unfinished elements being in the game's climax; a planned final battle with Makuta was never developed. The game's cancellation led to the planned story content being revealed through other mediums as well as the gradual demise of Saffire. Heavily promoted by Lego in anticipation of its upcoming release, it became widely sought-after by Bionicle fans in the wake of its cancellation. This action-adventure game where the player takes control of the six Toa, each of whom has their own tools, weapons, and elemental powers. Each of the Toa is controlled in the portion of the island of Mata Nui that represents their unique elemental power (air, earth, fire, ice, stone, and water, respectively). The game has a three-dimensional, third-person perspective and places an emphasis on platforming, with the player progressing through large, open environments. The player is tasked with helping the island's villagers by saving them from hostile Rahi animals, finding and returning items to villagers, and solving puzzles. The player can explore the various parts of the island, including its six villages. Combat consists primarily of launching elemental spheres at Rahi, but the Rahi can also be directly attacked with the Toa's weapons or halted by pointing the cursor at them. The Rahi enemies the player encounters include the Bionicle equivalent of animals like tigers and scorpions. the player finds items that enable them to explore new areas of each level. Additionally, it makes prominent use of a grappling hook, which is a staple item in The Legend of Zelda series. Among the items that can be collected in the game are Kanohi, masks which allow the Toa to access abilities like shielding, levitation, mind control, telekinesis, and water breathing. Kanohi can be switched between on command by the player and are passed on the next Toa upon the completion of the previous one's area, which allows the player to retain all of the abilities they have gained as the game progresses. Each Toa also has unique abilities that the other Toa lack; for example, Tahu, the Toa of fire, can surf on lava, while Lewa, the Toa of air, can swing on vines. After collecting enough Kanohi and completing enough tasks, the player is tasked with defeating an elemental monster. The only portion of the game where the Toa's Kanohi powers are unavailable is during the battles with the elemental monsters, during which they are disabled. In 2018, two developmental builds of the game were leaked online. YouTube community The Beaverhouse went on to found Litestone Studios, an independent video game development studio, with the goal of completing the game with support for modern computers. Version 1.0 of the updated game, Bionicle: The Legend of Mata Nui Rebuilt, was released on August 10, 2019. | ||

One of the rarest South Korean games as well as belonging to the atypical genre of "stealth arcades". Santa Claus was kidnapped by some villains during the distribution of gifts. The red-nosed deer Rudolph, in this game presented in an anthropomorphic and very "soldier" form, having waited for the head in the village where the case was, all night and without waiting, solves the problem radically: he calls a helicopter from somewhere, grabs the one caught under the hand of an old chimney sweep, kicks him into the aircraft with a kick in the ass, takes him to his base, gives out a Santa suit - and after a short "course for a young fighter" (that is, training that the player will have to go through; all the texts in it are in Korean) sends to fight the monsters who stole not only the Christmas grandfather, but also a lot of gifts prepared for the children. Isometric perspective; there is a reserve of health, but it seems that "lives" are not expected: in case of death, a revival occurs at the control point of the stage (not marked in any way), and there are no restrictions on this indicator. The goal of each level is to find and collect the number of socks indicated in the upper right corner of the screen. There are no puzzles as such, but from time to time you will need to open the doors ("space"), and some of them, to be able to perform this action, require the preliminary activation of the lever (usually located very close) using the aforementioned button - or finding the key; sometimes you also have to move objects in order, for example, to clear your way - for this you just need to face them and take a step in the desired direction. Bonuses are represented by coins to increase the score, as well as six types of items, the supply of which is displayed in the corresponding number of numbered cells at the bottom of the screen. Lollipops restore health; Christmas trees and snowmen, which in fact are suits and, apparently, carrying the same functional load, serve for temporary disguise (if you put on these outfits, then the enemies, for several seconds, which are counted in the upper part of the screen, will not attack the person nearby with them a hero); bones spread a stench around them and can scare off enemies (moreover, these items are allowed to be taken back into inventory after use); finally, bats and snowflakes are weapons, albeit, again, available for use only for a certain time: the first, obviously, is supposed to strike, and the latter even turn into pistols with an infinite (within the seconds allotted for their use) ammunition, freezing adversaries with one shot. To activate an item of any of the listed categories, you need to press the key with the number corresponding to the cell number with it (from 1 to 6). The battles are very, very difficult: the fact is that it is impossible to kill anyone in this game - the bat only stuns the monsters for a very short time, and the pistol also freezes not forever (although the effect of its use longer). The bestiary after the start of the action is not particularly impressive: at the first levels, we are confronted by funny big-eyed freaks in costumes of a personified image of Death, armed with scythes, and "mummified" (partially wrapped in bandages) dogs - both types tend to attack in a "crowd" and are easily able to "drive into the corner "and score there in a couple of seconds; later - at the "thematic" stages - there will be caricature-looking black cannibals, two-legged boars and land sharks, that is, a much more remarkable "audience". The gameplay is objectively difficult and is based, in fact, on the very real "stealth": you should make your way forward slowly and carefully, speeding up if necessary and saving camouflage suits and weapons - because, we repeat, there are too few bonuses. | ||

This is an incredible jungle adventure combining puzzle elements, aerial acrobatics, and hilarious monkey antics. It features a humorous premise: A scientist has discovered a technology that lets a human transfer his or her mind into the mind of a monkey. Soon after the discovery, the technology is stolen, and the scientist must recover it before the thief uses it for evil purposes. The player assumes the role of the scientist, who is confined to a wheelchair. In order to make his way through the series of levels, which are conveniently populated with monkeys, the scientist must transfer his mind into different monkeys and make them perform various actions, such as opening doors, or riding mountain goats through walls. Each level is set up so that by using the control of the monkeys, the player can cause a chain reaction of events to occur and give the scientist access to the next level. The game borrows elements from puzzle game series like The Incredible Machine and Lemmings. The levels are set up to require both action and strategic puzzle-solving, and the game itself is lighthearted and humorous. The first episode includes the first few levels and can be downloaded for free. Each of the five subsequent episodes cost around $5 and includes additional levels. | ||

Players journey back in time to the '80s and beyond in Pac-Man: Adventures in Time. The ghosts have stolen a magical power pellet, smashed it, and scattered the pieces across his planet. With the help of Professor Pac-Man, players will travel to five time periods and from Egypt to the Wild West.

There are 16 playable sublevels containing hidden games that link the mazes, and there are bonus items like pretzels and doughnuts. Players can compete via a LAN or over the Internet. | ||

This 3D jigsaw puzzle game is the fifth in the series and last one released. It's a cut down version of the previous games, far less meaty, so it doesn't have as much to offer. There is a useful tutorial to complete to introduce you to the mechanics of the game. There are also the usual 4 tiers of difficulty but this time the levels range from 85 pieces at the easiest level up to 258 for the most difficult level - this can be compared with approximately 250 and 700-900 pieces respectively for the other games. It lacks the mystery story component that has accompanied other titles. Instead of being welcomed by one of the story characters and getting snippets of the action as you progress, in this game you are immediately placed in the jigsaw screen and invited to start sorting and linking pieces together. This exploration involves wandering through a few rooms and inspecting a range of Kinkade paintings, some of which can be scrolled to reveal even more. There are a few activities including adding coloured paints to one, degrees of light and shade to another, and three of them divide up into pieces and give you plenty of practice at sliding tile puzzles. A large composite puzzle also displays small cut out sections taken from the various paintings in the house, and you are challenged to identify which painting each one belongs to by adding the painting title beneath the relevant extract. | ||

This official game released only in China mimicks the grid-based tactical strategy genre, while featuring a fleshed-out story. At some unknown time, alien robots based on the astrological zodiac crash onto Earth via a meteroite. The 12 bots from outer space, along with their leaders Apollo and Luna, are discovered by Dr. Wily and used by the madman to terrorize the planet with earthquake, floods, storms, and more. As usual, it's up to Mega Man and his pals to save the day, though a new friend is along for the ride. Much of the game is played out on the battlefield with each soldier unit's turn order given via active time bars, like in Final Fantasy. Each character on the field has one of the four elements (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water) attributed to them, except for Fan. Mega Man is a special case as he can change his attribute when needed, as each element has a weakness to the other. Robot Masters from the first eight games can be recruited after defeating them, joining forces to take down the constellation menace and Dr. Wily. And of course the squad is leveld up throughout the game. Dr. Light's Lab is a safe haven to purchase equipment and healing items for the next skirmish. While the game does an okay job as a Mega Man-themed tactical strategy title, the art is once again amateurish. The sprites are a terrible Phong-shaded pre-rendered mass of smooth cylinders and spheres clashing together. | ||

| Smurf Racer / 3, 2, 1 Smurf! My First Racing Game | Artificial Mind & Movement / Infogrames Europe SA | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

The popular cartoon franchise of the 1980s returns in Smurf Racer!, where players, as one of a dozen Smurf characters, go kart racing on eight different courses. Each blue-skinned, white-capped, "three-apples-tall" Smurf is defined by a particular personality trait, apparent by the theme of his or her vehicle. Smurfs compete for the Mushcup or Sasparilla Palm using wind-up cars and special tricks, with Brainy Smurf, always the authority, judging the matches. Single-player action includes races in three modes: Single, Championship, and Flag. Eight Smurfs are available at the beginning of the game. Four more can be unlocked later in the Championship mode, where the goal is to win each of nine levels in three different worlds to find the last super Smurf in the secret level. Flag racing requires running over flags on the track before the computer-controlled racers can get them. Hitting opponents with firecrackers causes them to drop all their flags, though they can play the same trick on you as well. Two-player action is accommodated in the Versus Mode, with either a one-on-one or flag race. Smurfs include Papa, Smurfette, Cook, Jokey, Hefty, Harmony, Handy, Painter, Wild, King, Super Drive, and Astro, with the last four comprising the hidden characters. Brainy guides you through Smurf Village, The Big Castle, The Forbidden Zone, and Astro Smurf's Challenge. Featured items include firecrackers, red rockets, magic potion bottles, and special attacks unique to each Smurf. This kart racer features the Smurfs as characters. Choose one of eight (with four secret) characters to race with among various climates and regions. You can race in single player or championship modes, along with a Capture the Flag-style Flag Race. Choose from 8 race-ready Smurf drivers loaded with their own unique gag weapons. Spin your wheels on 2 different tracks in 5 awesome Smurf environments. Smurf your opponent with hilarious 2-Players racing action. Features: Third person perspective, 3D graphics, Cartoon graphics, Fantasy, Comic & Racing themes. | ||

Spider-Man is the first 3D game to star the popular web-slinger. It is loosely based on Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Spider-Man Unlimited and features some of the voice cast from each and similar character designs. Peter Parker is attending a demonstration of the reformed Dr. Otto Octavius's new invention when an imposter Spider-Man steals the device. Spider-Man must work to clear his name and uncover the sinister motives behind the device's theft. This game features appearances not only by most major Spider-Man characters, but cameos by numerous other characters from the Marvel Universe, such as the Human Torch, Punisher, Daredevil and Captain America. Spider-Man's webs are greatly emphasized. He can use them both for navigational purposes, like swinging or ziplining, and for offensive and defensive combat, such as tying up a villain, coating his fists with web for extra oomph, or building a protective shield. His web supply is limited though and he must find new cartridges or risk running out. The wall-crawling powers are also prominently features. Spider-Man can cling to any wall or ceiling. This is used for basic environmental navigation and for stealth as there are many sequences where you crawl over the heads of unsuspecting thugs, or drop down and catch them off-guard. Combat is based around Spider-Man's ability to jump, kick, punch and web. By combining these with direction and in various combinations, Spider-Man is able to throw objects such as furniture, hurl web balls, yank enemies into melee range and follow up with a flurry of hits, among other things. There are a number of boss-battles as well, all of which are puzzle-based. Missions vary from the fairly common fight-your way-to-the-goal or find-the-key-that-unlocks-the-door types to races to catch some or evade them or just trying to avoid the police. There are several side goals in addition the main mission including multiple unlockable Spider-Man costumes and numerous hidden comic book covers to find. | ||

After the events of the "Dominion War", Starfleet Command realized that not every problem can be solved by it's exploratory and scientific starships. Sometimes discreet inquiry by a special operations team may be needed. The USS Incursion is built to handle covert operations and is equipped with a holographic masking system enabling it to disguise itself as any ship in the known universe. With seventeen of the best hand-picked operatives in the Federation, Captain Marcus Refalian sets out to investigate strange happenings among a group calling itself the "Wardens" and the work of Klingon scientists. It's not long before the crew of the USS Incursion find themselves wrapped in a plot that threatens not only the Federation but potentially the balance of power throughout the galaxy. This is a turn-based strategy game taking place in an isometric view. The gameplay is influenced by other titles such as Commandos and X-Com. Players must coordinate the crew to solve various scenarios without being discovered by the guards or security system. The first order of business on each mission is to select the away team members from the group of twelve experts, each with their own statistics and specialty skills. Players then guide their operatives towards their goals while avoiding detection and minimizing casualties. The enemy will have cameras, sensors, and patrols. If the team are discovered by a security system, there is usually a way to find the system terminal and erase the records. Enemies will pickup on sound but minimizing sound means slow movement. If combat breaks out, team members are equipped with a variety of weapons including phasers, disruptors, holographic decoys and mines to dispatch the foes. | ||

"SteppenWolf" follows the story of Meg Crimson, a freelance reporter hired by World Geographic magazine to track down and report on immortal creatures of legend, such as the Loch Ness monster, the Mokele Mbembe, and the Yeti. She enlists the help of the mysterious guide SteppenWolf.

The main character must travel the globe seraching for mythological beasts such as the Yeti or the Chupacabra. The player controls the hero using the keyboard and must be pretty accurate in some sequences. The story is divided into 6 chapters of four episodes each.

Known as "Der Clou 2" in Europe, the Sting is a crime adventure/sim where you start out as a small "hood" as you arrange for different "jobs" (robberies) with the different people (over 50) performing their roles. Getting to know the right people and doing successful jobs are the stepping-stones to this goal. However, there is no way you can do a job alone, you need mates to help you, and they will all want their share of the loot. It makes sense to keep their number as low as possible. Of course, the better known they are, the better they perform.Arrange the break-in, bypass the security system, avoid police and security patrols, and make your clean getaway. Your ultimate objective is to perform "the Sting", the biggest heist the city has ever known. There's 20 large places to burgle, such as a food factory, the grave digger's house, the freight terminal, and the bank. Plus there's 70 additional buildings, several of which can be broken into, and a vivid town with passers-by, traffic and a taxi system. Over 60 different npcs, most of whom are ready to commit burglary, roam the city and over 50 different getaway vehicles such as trucks, sports cars, etc. The security measures to overcome include: alarm systems, cctv, sensors, and microphones. | ||

| SubTerra | Crystal Shard / Spiderweb Software | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a puzzle/action game, reminiscent of the classics Boulder Dash and Chip's Challenge, although SubTerra is more varied. The basic goal of each level is simple: collect a set amount of gems, then run to the exit. However, a myriad of obstacles block your way, testing your reflexes, your puzzle skills, or both. There's falling rocks, duplication machines, enemies, laser beams, machinery that changes gems, heavy explosives, a variety of tools to help you out, and a monster that eats those tools. To make things worse, each level has an additional "difficult" mode, requiring more gems, a harder-to-reach exit, and imposing a time limit. A nifty feature is that the tutorial levels, normally the easiest in the set, have a challenging extra puzzle in difficult mode. Starting with a basic set of slightly over a hundred levels, SubTerra has since expanded with fan-made material to encompass more than 500 different puzzles. Players can use the in-built level editor to make their own, and join in the yearly Level Design Contest. | ||

Survivor: The Interactive Game is a game version of the popular TV show. Players choose one of the contestants, who are all real contestents from Survivor: The Australian Outback, or they can create their own player, and distribute stat points, in categories such as Cooking, Hunting, Fishing, Strength, etc. Once in the game, players must play through a survival period, in which you will carry out your alotted task. If you chose to Cook, your player will spend his/her time around the fire, cooking if you have any available meat.

After the challenge round, you move on to Tribal Council, where one of you will be voted off (unless you won Immunity in the challenge round).

| Taiwan 2001 [Tw] | Kuso Soft | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
It's a game created by 'Kuso Soft' (kuso being Japanese for crap) in Taiwan as a spoof of the 1995 homebrew shooter game Hong Kong 97 by Japanese Kowloon Kurosawa for the Super Famicom, in which the latter game has received a cult following in Japan and Taiwan because of the game's difficulty, anti-Chinese overtones, poor grammar, graphic content (namely the fact that the final slide in the intro features a photograph of Holocaust victim corpses and that the game over screen utilizes a still image of a man killed during the Bosnian War in mid-1992, which is a screenshot taken from a mondo film), and reputation as one of the worst video games ever created. The game can be played in three languages: Taiwanese Mandarin, Hua, and Standard Mandarin. The year 2001 has arrived. A herd of fuckin’ uglies are rushing from the mainland. Crime rates skyrocketed. Therefore, the Taiwan Government called Wang Shou En’s relative Wang Shou Min for the education plan of the mainlanders. Min is an etiquette expert. Reform all 1.2 billion people. However, in mainland China, there was a secret project in progress, a project to transform the captured Wang Shou En into an ultimate weapon. You control a character named Wang Shou Min and throw projectiles at enemies such as people from mainland China and passing motorcycles while dodging them. It's possible that after defeating a certain number of enemies, the head of Wang Shou En appears and after defeating it a new wave of enemies come again and the game repeats. Additionally, the game also had an exploding 'bomb' command although it isn't known what it exactly does. There are also numbers in red that appear in addition to strings of text in Chinese on the screen during gameplay but it is unknown what those numbers represent, although it could possibly be a score or hit counter. The game over screen says "小明死亡 MinisDEAD", atop a digitized photograph of a CPR dummy, referencing the game over screen of Hong Kong 97 while omitting the use of snuff imagery. | ||

The game is based on a story written by Kim Ui-chan, the writer of popular sitcoms such as LA Arirang, Three Girls and Three Boys, and No One Can Stop Them. The popular pop-music group CAN sang the theme song. The game teaches children the value of cooperation. The game is different from other simple children's games and more advanced than them. This game goes beyond just solving repeatedly given quests. Players follow the game procedure to find the Rococo kingdom. In the process, children can acquire sense of duty while riding out difficulties. In addition, this game has broken away from simple distinction of good and evil. The game is designed to teach the sentiments of Koreans through the familiar characters of Arang and Sarang. Thenemy characters are cute and funny looking, so children cannot dislike them. The main characters of the game are Ullashong, who used to raise pigs, a robot called Dungchi and Momo and they all live together. The plot of the game is that the trio fights with the villains to find the dream energy and the story is very different from those foreign-made bloody and destructive games. With graphics that are soft and look like an illustration of a storybook, the game is very approachable to children. A variety of factors in the game, including simple watercolor background screen, change of time, and change of seasons, make a gamer feel like he is watching an animation. The large-scale scenario, composed of eight worlds and 56 stages, renders the game more extraordinary. One of the merits of the game is that it is shot with comic episodes and gamers never get bored, playing the long story game. | ||

There is a background story from the games of the Asian Championships up to 17 TV animations. There are 16 missions for players to enjoy in the game.

This version has been revamped to make the game even more accessible for the whole family. The new junior version has the difficulty of the questions toned down. Now, kids can win a virtual million pounds, but they can’t virtually spend it until they are eighteen. It’s time to take to the hotseat for fifteen of the most nerve-wracking questions ever. The global TV phenomenon gives you three lifelines to help. These are ‘50-50’, where 2 of the 4 possible answers are taken away, ‘ask the audience’ to get their opinion, and ‘phone a friend’ in which someone whose voice you won’t recognise will offer you their thoughts. It bears all of the trademarks of the hit television show. The studio, the dramatic lighting and all of the music have been included to give the game authenticity. The icing on the cake comes in the form of the charismatic Chris Tarrant, who has provided the voice-over. With over 1,000 questions, it won’t be anytime soon that you find a repeat question. It's a great game because it somehow manages to recreate the tension of the show without using real money. Who knows, you might even learn something. | ||

Zax only loves one thing, money. On one particular planet, he believes plenty of ore is available to dig up and sell, making him plenty of cash. However, while coming in to land, he is shot down. Zax soon discovers that two races populate the planet: The Korbos, a peaceful alien race and mechanical beasts led by their God, Om. Using the high artificial intellegence on his ship Zelon, Zax must help the Korbos from total destruction, collect as much ore as possible, plus parts to fix his ship. This plays somewhat like the Crusader series. The player controls Zax's movement with the keyboard and his aim with the mouse. The aim movement is completely free, and Zax can shoot to a direction while moving to another different one. To use items, Zax needs only to touch them, and to collect items he needs only to step over them. The ore collected can be used at Zax's ship for creating new items such as weapons, shields and batteries. The better the item, the more ore needed to create it. Each weapon and shield has its own energy bar, which is depleted as Zax shoots his weapons or gets hit. Energy orbs will be available as he kills enemies (orange orbs for shield energy, blue orbs for weapon energy). Besides the hand guns, Zax will also find auto turrets and companion drones. Zax can also use portals to teleport himself to different locations on the map. Specific portals will lead him directly back to his ship. This game can also be played by up to 16 people in three multiplayer modes: capture the flag, death match and "salvage king" (where the players must gather as much ore as they can). | ||

Benjamin and Otto drive in episode 5 of the game series to Bauer Humph in the Bavarian mountains. But what happened there? The harvest is just around the corner and farmer Humpe has broken his leg. He can not feed the animals and the shop of Resi Humpe is not supplied. No problem: Benjamin jumps in with his friend Otto and the kid on the screen is still there and helps diligently. They harvest fruits and vegetables, collect chicken eggs, milk a cow and grind flour. Exciting how such a mill works. What is the difference between wheat, oats and barley? Attention: The carrots must be properly pulled out of the ground and the grains scattered on the meadow so that the chickens leave their nests. Children (ages 5 to 9 years) can look forward to a charming animated country life, such as the beautiful blue butterfly, the teapots in Resis shop or the sunflowers, after the watering can was found. There are subtle little game ideas, shiny graphics and a perfectly thought-out interactive space - the help file on the CD-ROM will definitely not be needed. In addition to the ghost game, this is perhaps the most successful game of the series. Of course there is also a poster and things to print. | ||

The birthday of Mr. Tierlieb is just around the corner. Benjamin and Otto want to surprise him so much with a very special gift: a big party in the zoo. Of course, the two lack the necessary money. But Karla Kolumna, the raging reporter, knows one thing: she has just received the latest job advertisements from Neustadt. In this game with Benjamin Blümchen and Otto, the little players can learn a lot of practical things this time, for example how to cultivate a garden, cook tomato sauce, repair heaters or what to look for when hauling ships at the harbor. For the maze game the arrow keys of the keyboard are needed. They are so well explained that children get used to it easily. Benjamin is fun to work with, because he cuts the hedge with the help of the user in a very special way, and the fact that the heating in the grocery store does not work has a funny reason. If you pay close attention, you will find Karla's camera, which she lost during her last reportage. | ||

Bill and Ben have come up with an idea to help their friend, Scamper the Squirrel store the nuts she has collected for winter. Can you help them? Catch a Nut - Bill and Ben have come up with an idea to help their friend, Scamper the Squirrel store the nuts she has collected for winter. Can you help them? Fly with Pry - Pry the Magpie needs help. She has lost some of her precious treasure as she flew over the rubbish dump. Bill and Ben come to the rescue in a special kite, with you at the controls. Pots and Pipes - Construct a maze of pipes to get Bill and Ben safely down from the roof of the house. The better the pipe maze, the more fun the slide. Bill and Ben, the Flowerpot Men, were first seen on BBC TV, along with Little Weed, 60 years ago today, on 18 December 1952. The characters were originally part of a BBC series called Watch with Mother. The Flower Pot Men (who had clay-pot bodies and straw hats) was the story of two little men made of flower pots who lived at the bottom of an English suburban garden. The pair spoke in gibberish known as 'flobbadob'. The plots largely consisting of the two characters mumbling "Flobbalobbalob, shobbalob," and their friend Little Weed crying out "Weeeeeed". The characters were devised by Freda Lingstrom and Maria Bird. Three later stories were written by Hilda Brabban. The puppeteers were Audrey Atterbury and Molly Gibson. In 2000, the series was updated for the 21st century for a 26-episode series accompanied by merchandising spin-offs including toys, games, videos and a Bill and Ben magazine. The black and white of the old programme was replaced by garish colours, while string puppetry was exchanged for stop-frame animation, with movable figures captured a frame at a time as they change positions and facial expressions. The Flowerpot Men were first broadcast on radio before moving to television in the Fifties. Filming originally took place in a tin shed in the Lime Grove studio complex but later moved to a purpose-built puppet studio. | ||

This is a singleplayer bird's-eye view mini-games game in the Blåfjell series based on the 1997 Norwegian TV show Jul i Blåfjell. It contains 9 games with different levels of difficulty. The game deals with important topics such as the environment and xenophobia, "The good against the bad", social responsibility, etc. The voices are the same as in the TV series. The blue santa who takes a human being or a red santa into Blåfjell must leave Blåfjell himself and never return. This is how the ancient Blåfjell rule sounds like the Blue Santas have lived by. But when Turte became friends but the little Red Santa girl, this strict rule was repealed. There are some Blue Santas who don't like it. It will be Turte's task to convince these that Red Santas are nothing to be afraid of. Maybe the Blues have a lot to learn from the Red Santas even... Here the journey starts in Blåfjell, where adventure, tasks and challenges await you and Turte. You need to solve tasks such as dancing and tidying inside Blåfejll to collect Blue Juice. With the juice you can make The Blue Hour, and continue your journey outside Blåfjell with, among other things, sledding and sorting of garbage. And not least, scare villagers by throwing snowballs. Do you like porpoises and play, mystery and a point? Then Blåfjell is the place for you. | ||

| Caillou: Magic Playhouse | Brighter Child Interactive / Riverdeep Interactive Learning Limited | [top] | |

Caillou: Magic Playhouse is based on the animated television series starring bald-headed little Caillou, a 4-yr-old boy, and his adventures with family and friends. In this game, you follow Caillou as he visits each room in his house and the backyard searching for treasures (from a themed group - sports, music, sun & sand, or nature - that you pre-select) and playing games. Choose a skill level - 1 to 3, which can be changed mid-game if a given activity is too easy. Use the mouse to click on items in each room to discover mini-animations and "hidden" objects. You will also make use of the click-to-pick-up/click-to-release feature in some of the games, as opposed to click-and-drag, which may make the interface easier for the toddler to use. Between games there are video-clips from the television show. Each game has it's own instructions page, read aloud by Caillou's Mom and repeatable at will; most games are fairly self-explanatory, but some (like Song & Dance) will probably require a parent's assistance to play. There are 4 separate printable activities, each one branching out into several different parts, giving the child lots to do offline and reinforcing concepts introduced by the game. Among the early-learning skills covered are: phonics, memory skills, listening, musical sequences, colors, pattern recognition, counting, and early reading/spelling. | ||

Carmen and her evil henchmen are at it again. It is up to you to search the world to find and arrest them. Carmen and her international crime ring are stealing world treasures. As part of the ACME detective team you are responsible for scouring the globe to collect evidence and make the collar. There are 8 levels from Gumshoe to Super Sleuth. Kids can expand their knowledge of world geography and culture, develop deductive reasoning and research skills and practice map reading. There are over 3,600 clues from 60 countries and cultures and music from around the world. Spectacular photos from National Geographic enhance learning. Carmen has stolen a rare book, The Travels of Marco Polo. Why? Your job is to find her and solve the mystery. There are high tech gadgets at your disposal and you travel the world with the click of the mouse. The World Whiz Database can help you find the right countries. This database has maps, videos and information on countries. This is the latest version of the #1 geography software for kids. The great thing about this program is kids love to play it and they don't even realize they are learning. It plays its storyline more seriously than previous games, eliminating such series staples as pun-filled word play, gag names and humorously impossible thefts. However, humor is still included in much of Jules and Shadow's dialogue. Though V.I.L.E. agents are often mentioned, only a few anonymous henchmen appear in the game. Although the animation is also more realistic, the game liberally uses limited animation techniques | ||

| Clifford The Big Red Dog: Learning Activities | Learning Technologies Interactive, Inc. / Scholastic, Inc. | [top] | |

This third program in the Clifford series contains nine multilevel logic, math and reading puzzles. The activities, which vary in quality, are selected by clicking on a map of Birdwell Island. A popular magazine is looking for a special community of dogs to feature in their next issue and Clifford, T-Bone, and Cleo want to make a big impression. Children develop important skills with Clifford and friends as they travel around Birdwell Island helping their neighbors and playing fun learning activities. In one, they classify and sort trash in the recycling center. In another, they fix a broken playground slide by putting a series of numbers in order. Most of the games have multiple levels and offer educational experiences that go beyond the standard colors, letters and shapes. There are a few weaknesses to note. The sorting game throws too many variables at children in the early levels, the poster maker won't let you reverse your selections. This is too bad, as this could be a much stronger language experience. Finally, our testers had trouble moving a little dog through a maze. On the upside, it is easy to change levels at any time, and a child's progress is kept with a special photo album. While it's not the most exciting Clifford title (we're partial to Clifford Reading), this is a very nice addition to any school or home software library. You'll want to be on hand to help, however. Once kids complete a scrapbook for the magazine containing snapshots of their skill-building adventures, they enjoy a musical celebration at the pier. | ||

When two members of the ClueFinders are miniaturized by a shrinking ray, all four of the mystery-solving teens (and LapTrap and AliTrap, their mechanical assistants) must hunt through a San Francisco toy store for clues before the mysterious shrinking ray is turned on the city itself. As they explore, they must earn and collect items to build an unshrinking device. The player uses the mouse to navigate by clicking on arrows to move from area to area, and once a place has been visited it can be returned to via the map. All actions are performed by mouse clicks and dragging, and in one instance the arrow keys can be used to move around in an arcade-style game. The ClueFinders games utilize an automatic leveling system that adjusts each minigame separately to the player's level of skill - this is an option that can be turned off if the player prefers. In-game help is readily available, and if the player seems to be having difficulty the red videophone will open and the game characters will make helpful suggestions. As the ClueFinders make their way through the toy store they will take part in these activities: Gumball Jackpot - add coins to the gumball machine to reach a target price and receive a prize, Pneumatic Pipe Blast - travel through the pipes by following and predicting patterns, Global Trek - locate places on a map and follow direction to sequence and plot a travel route, Catapult Fling - experiment and adjust leverage points and weights on a launcher to knock an item out of a bag, Decoding the Divide - use logic and language skills to decipher a coded message and cross an alligator-filled moat, Eldon the Talking Elevator - complete equations to clear 5 squares in a row on a grid, Taxi Bug Express - maneuver the waterbug taxi along the river, avoiding incorrectly spelled words and collecting the correct ones, Escape From Alcatraz - complete sentences by filling in missing words and then sequence the sentences to help Lucky Lucy the rat escape. This game focuses on the curriculum for third and fourth grade children, covering elements of Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science, and building skills in problem-solving and logical thinking. Included with this game is a bonus ClueFinders CD-ROM: The Mystery of the Missing Amulet, which was previously released as ClueFinders Reading Adventures. | ||

The snappy adventure classic by Alexandre Dumas already proved its suitability for screens in the successful film adaptation by Richard Lester in the 1970s and is now sure to cast a spell over many girls and boys on the PC too. Soon joined by the unruly Gascon D'Artagnan, the three noble, if not entirely easy-to-care-for, musketeers Porthos, Athos and Aramis prove their loyalty to their king by debunking the evil conspiracy hatched against him and his wife by the opaque Cardinal Richelieu has risked their lives to try to explain. Plenty of cloak and sword wings and a good dash of humor ensure that the story is a lot of fun, and if you want, you can also color in the most beautiful pictures from it at the end or put them together as a jigsaw puzzle. Approximately 90% of the contents of the disc is occupied by the cartoon of the same name - released in Australia in 1986, and four years later translated into German. In artistic terms, this 50-minute tape does not look so bad, however, the presence of only one voice acting language, the absence of subtitles and, to put it mildly, not the most progressive even by the standards of 2001, the MPEG1 format video sequence with a resolution of 320 × 240 is unlikely to serve as sufficient recommendation for today's user. The remaining two items of the main menu de jure are some kind of mini-games on the subject of the title. | ||

From a window on the bottom right, the player can choose the character icon, enabling him to select from various Cinderella characters to place in a room.

| Double Trouble: Crazy Kindergarten | Savannah / Nordic Softsales | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This was one of a series of Bille & Trille Danish games, known as Sammy & Sally in English, Romy & Rikkie, Ville & Lilli, Billi & Milli, and Margarita & Manolito in other languages. The day of a kindergarten child is full of accomplishments that are not always fully understood by parents. For a grown-up, kindergarten may seem a safe environment where nothing dramatic ever happens or should happen, but from a child's point of view it can pose challenges and supply adventure that would make even the life of a NASA test pilot seem humdrum. Kindergarten is life's first frontier, the wild west of childhood. It's where you learn the basics of what it is to be a social person plus a tremendous amount of other, more specific, vital things that you need to know about life on the planet. The religion of the Double Trouble universe decrees that although life is full of surprises and the world is not always easy to understand, if you face the mysteries with confidence and your friends' help, good times are guaranteed. Double Trouble is centered on the twins, Sammy and Sally, and their allies and best buddies, Elisa and Frederick. The story of the game take place in a kindergarten and are often set off by something the adults tell them. The children are not defiant of the adults; on the contrary, they will try to act according to what they believe they are supposed to be doing. However, they are often confused by the adults' inconsistent statements, such as: always be polite, but never talk to strangers, there is no such thing as invisible creatures, but you have to wash your hands of bacteria even though you can't see them, etc. These inconsistencies paired with the children misunderstandings cause everyday problems to escalate, and although the foursome always escapes unharmed and even proud of their achievements, there is always an adult who is embarrassed and more often than not a playroom left in shambles. In the game, the children learn about everyday issues on their own terms. The world is seen from the perspective of the children. Their imagination and their quirky and wondrous approach to the world dramatize even the most mundane things. Double Trouble is developed with the aid of kindergarten teachers and specialists, but more important, it is developed together with children who play our games. The graphics are colourful, with a distinctive layout, there is an original soundtrack with ear-catching songs, and above all a good dose of irreverent humour with great appeal to children. | ||

This is the sixth title in the I Spy series of games based on books written and photographed by the team of Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick. This episode takes you on a treasure-hunting tour of a small seaside town called Smuggler's Cove. You'll visit local businesses in town - the Treasure Chest store, the Museum, the Duck Pond Inn, the Boat Shop and the Ice Cream Store, as well as the train station, a lighthouse, an island, and more. As you solve puzzles, you learn more about the pirate history of Smuggler's Cove, and with every riddle area you solve you'll discover a torn piece of a treasure map. As you collect pieces, you can click on a wax-sealed paper icon in the top right of your screen - here you'll click and drag the ripped pieces to fit them together into a map for a treasure hunt. All actions are point, click, or drag with the mouse - in some areas your cursor will change to suit the riddle, such as becoming a magnifying glass to identify small items in a display case, or becoming binoculars in order to search the town from the top of a tower. When you need to move an object, your cursor becomes a grasping hand. On each puzzle page you'll find a question mark to click for help, an ear icon to click if you want the riddle to be read aloud again (You can also click on the words to hear each individual item read aloud), and the always-handy back arrow. There are three separate treasure hunts to play, with different riddles and different treasure maps; once you finish the game and choose to play again, I Spy will pick one at random for you. | ||

This stars C.J. Frog and Edison Firefly, and sends you on a mission to find C.J.'s nieces and nephews. The missing tadpoles, Molly, Wolly, Polly, Tad, Chad and Wart, borrowed their uncle's time machine to play hide and seek and now they're lost in five places in history: ancient Egypt, China, Peru, the Plymouth Colony and Antarctica. As you search, you take part in activities and quests and learn about the life and times of the various places and ages. As an adjunct to learning, the goal is to acquire points by completing games and activities - for every 100 earned, one of 40 printable stickers (eight in each area) is awarded that can be attached to the provided map of the world. A typical activity is to pick a level to play and a time to visit, then plot a course and follow directions on the map. Match the correct power cards to start the time machine correctly, earn points, and you're off on the adventure. Although each area has different games and activities, the maze game, changed to depict items from the era and area visited, remains constant. The maze is a timed challenge in which points are earned by picking up items and reaching the end within the allotted time (90 seconds). The other games in each area offer a diverse collection of activities. In Egypt, you can groom the royal cat, decorate the face of the Sphinx, learn about Hieroglyphics and write messages in Tadpoleglyphics, wrap C.J. up as a mummy and spin him free, find the Pharaoh's treasure room or explore the countryside around the Nile while searching for Polly. A trip to China offers activities focusing on Chinese lanterns, silk, a dragon dance, presents and what they symbolize and the search for Molly. Peru provides insights into the Inca system of roads and messengers, llamas, alpaca wool items, quipu (a system of keeping track of numbers and items) and the search for Tad. While at Plymouth Colony, learn about planting and husking corn and other domestic farming activities, play an arrow game, see an Indian deer trap and search the Mayflower for Wolly. Finally, Antarctica offers activities on proper dress for the frozen lands, cairns and their use, dogsled treks, animal life (penguins and seals) and a chance to find Chad and Wart. Other rewards for finding missing tadpoles are a celebration with singing and dancing appropriate to the location and a printable craft representing the specific area. Courses become more complicated and difficult at higher levels with fewer matching power cards, though most other aspects of the game don't change. | ||

One of two Spy Masters games released in 2001, Spy Masters: Max Strikes Back is composed of arcade games with educational foundations. Players join forces with the Spy Masters Team as they journey through the fictional world of Arcadea in search of the rebel, former Spy Master, Max Masters. Creating their own spy character, players explore Arcadea in search of Max while earning spy gear and warding off renegade robots that have been unleashed in the Spy Masters' world. Players can view video briefings of the missions they must accomplish via the main menu, also known as Spy Command. Hints and clues are always accessible from an onscreen tool bar and returning to Spy Command after winning a game or completing a mission will reveal the next chapter of the story. Various buildings within the 3D Arcadea contain different games to play. Science, Math, and Language Arts are just some of the subject skills the games reinforce. Players may have to clear a screen full of bubbles containing words by identifying parts of speech. Noun, adjective, and verb bubbles must be grouped in threes to disappear, and the entire screen must be cleared to win. Similar games are played with addition and subtraction. Other games require use of logic and puzzle-solving skills. Completing a game will earn spy gear to further the missions. In some of the eleven areas of Arcadea open for exploration, kids can investigate a pirate ship, traverse the jungle, and enter the biosphere. Seven spy gear items are attainable and include a Hover Board, Aqua Suit, Cyber Visor, and Robo Sensor. Spy gear, as well as characters, are transferable from this game to others in the series. Aside from success in the educational arcade games, logic and mystery-solving must be used to complete the missions. | ||

Clicking a window may cause the curtains to close, clicking a flower may cause a bee to fly out, and so on. Graphics are 2D, cartoon style. Voices are very good and it's nice to speak with many Critters in Critterville. Lots of background sound effects, too. Birds, bees, water noises, etc. The interface is point-n-click. It is a fun inventory-finding game with a Great Race at the end as your reward. | ||

Based on a successful children's television show, the fifth dandelion CD-ROM is an all around entertaining knowledge transfer with great fun factor. This time, it's about nose, eye, mud, dikes, herbs and railroad. Up to six players can use the CD-ROM and collect the prizes collected at the games in their own railway car. In addition to the informative video sequences from the dandelion programs, there are many challenges that not only bring enthusiasm to the children, but also clearly illustrate the explanations. The best example here is the mussel collecting game, where you direct the fisherman through the Wadden Sea and bring it back home as punctually as possible before the flood. Otherwise, there are rants from the fisherman's wife. Who wants to get the inventor machine to spit out the building instructions for such interesting things as the "television without electricity" or the "marmot octopus". As always, the scenes on Dandelion 5 are colorful. In and around Peter's trailer can be rummaged for hours to discover the individual offers. It should be mentioned positively that the fifth interactive dandelion sequel is not a simple imitation of the television program, but that Peter Lustig has apparently moderated the CD edition again. | ||

The girls learn that their arch enemy, Courtney, has been seen near their lockers. On investigation they find pieces of a torn up note, an invitation to a beach party no less, but they have no idea who it's from. This sets the scene for a series of challenges, the rewards for which are further pieces of the note which eventually reveal which of the cute guys has a crush on them. The challenges are in the Freshman Year: The Physics Class where a game of mini-golf is used to explore gravity, velocity and friction; The Cheerleading Tryouts where the player(s) have to match the moves made by the gym teacher. In the Sophomore Hall: The Marine Biology Class which is a timed game where the object is to collect creatures and litter, one goes into the bin and the other is returned to the sea; Journalism Class where the player(s) must explore the school and take photographs of the people on their assignment list. In the Junior & Senior Hall: The Talent Show where the object is to follow the instructors moves and beat Courtney; Journalism, again, but this time the player is taking pictures for the school year book. Finally a series of seaside arcade games, Ball Toss, Treasure Hunt, and Hoops. All the mini games can be played as a series in game-mode or individually. In game-mode the games are graded, a B or higher is needed to win a piece of the message, and initially the player(s) will only have access to the games in the Freshman year.

| Max and the Magician | Tivola Publishing, Inc. / BVM Produktion GmbH | [top] | |

Max and the Magician is adapted from a series of picture books about a young dog-boy from Newhoundland. Max's uncle Pong, an inventor, asks Max to deliver his latest creation, the flashlight-broom-vacuum, to the magician Mervin. When Max arrives at the magician's house, he discovers that the evil witch Hagabelle has turned Mervin into a toilet brush. You must free the magician from the curse by finding seven pieces of a magic formula that's been hidden around the house. After restoring the formula, you take a magic broom ride to the house of Hagabelle and restrict her curse-making abilities to only being able to transform things into chocolate cake. Multiple language options (English, German, French and Spanish) are available and the game's basic storybook nature is enlivened by some games (e.g., rabbit catching) and activities such as a spelling machine. The broom flight portion is a game in which you must avoid obstacles from below as well as other characters on brooms. Most of the games have three activity levels with an option to change the difficulty level at any time. Control is effected by use of a banner at the bottom of the screen that includes volume and language options and an icon for keeping track of the remaining formula pieces needed. The in-game narration by the storyteller can be paused or repeated at any time. | ||

The Man on the Moon has confiscated the ignition key for Max's friend Mona's rocket. He won't give it back until Mona brings him eight moon chickens, but she can't do it alone. Travel with Max as he comes to Mona's rescue in an adventure that is out of this world. This sweet, unassuming CD-ROM program is a unique production that features a storyline that requires your child's input for the tale to reach a successful conclusion. What sets this program apart is that it can be played in any of four languages, which can be switched to in mid-stream. Our testers enjoyed hearing a phrase spoken in English and then hearing it again in either German, French or Spanish. There are six different versions of the same story, each with different hiding places for the moon chicks. | ||

| Mia's Math Adventure: Just In Time! | Kutoka Interactive | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
In Mia's third adventure, the endearing little mouse sets her sights on time travel. Her search for parts for a time machine is prompted by a fire that burns Mia's house to the ground in a program introduction that is perhaps too scary for younger players. Fortunately, Mia can make things right again by collecting Sparklies (colorful gems) and finding machine parts. Mia's quest takes her through a vegetable garden, into Mr. Mole's burrow, to the patio, and into the kitchen. Returning characters, like Freddi the Frog and the very ratty Romaine, as well as a few new faces, help round out the charming cast. While the previous titles focused on reading and science, this one is devoted to math. A choice of four skill levels that affect the learning games — not the adventure itself — are roughly matched to grade level (that is, level one features first-grade curriculum, up to level 4, which is designed for fourth-graders). While higher levels were age-appropriate, we found some of the level one games challenging for the average first-grader. In order to help Mia complete her quest, players need to collect items and solve problems. For example, in one sequence, they have to hunt for an object that will help Mia rouse resting ants. Once done, Mia works at earning a lock for an ignition by solving math equations. Depending on the level, players will need to recognize numbers, add, subtract, multiply, or divide in order to advance. Activities are tied in well with the storyline. For example, Mia needs a clock for the time machine, but will need to set the clock to the requested time of day in order to earn it. Other math activities involve arranging numbers in descending order, identifying geometric shapes, and completing number patterns. | ||

| Millie Meter and Her Adventures in the Oak Tree | Tivola Publishing, Inc. / BVM Produktion GmbH | [top] | |

|
Millie Meter and Her Adventures in the Oak Tree takes young Millie, heroine of Millie Meter's Nutrition Adventure, into the forest, where she must save the oak tree Twit is determined to cut down; if Millie can convince him the tree still sustains life by bringing him ten photos of living creatures, Twit will refrain from felling it. Under the guidance of Eric, a red squirrel, Millie takes her mission and her camera under the ground, inside the roots, into the bark, up the trunk, among the leaves, and into the top of the tree. At each stop Millie meets various tree-dwelling denizens and the player learns the facts about life inside and around a tree and all the processes that maintain it. Actions in this game are all accomplished with the mouse, by pointing, clicking, or dragging. The cursor changes into Millie's little copter when it passes over a clickable spot, and there are lots of them; nearly every object has an explanation or an animation attached to it. In the tray at the bottom of the main screen are icons for accessing mini-games, keeping track of photos taken, adjusting volume, language selection, and exiting the game. During mini-games, you'll also have icons for help, back, and starting a new round; the printing icon, available from Millie's Tricktionary and the drawing page, takes the form of a rubber stamp. On the right side of the main screen there is a narrow panel showing the oak tree, with an inset picture of whatever area you are in/character you are speaking to at the time. You can move Millie, who always travels in her little copter, up or down the tree by clicking here as well as by finding the (sometimes hidden) exits from each room. The six mini-games become available as you come across them. Two games are arcade-style and allow for two levels of difficulty - these are "Catch the Acorn" and " The Earthworm Labyrinth". Three games test the player's knowledge of a tree's ecosystem, but are easily answered after playing the main game - these are "True or False?", "Who's That Singing?", and "Who Lives Where?". The last is a picture game that allows you to choose pictures to enlarge or minimize, turn, and arrange on a printable page. Also available after completing the game is Millie's Tricktionary, a book of science experiments with printable pages. | ||

Little Millie Meter, also appearing in Millie Meter and Her Adventure in the Oak Tree, hears a mysterious sneeze and some ominous rumbling as she’s out walking, and discovers a Giant family hidden in the rocks. All of them are feeling a little poorly, especially Bulk, the youngest, and Millie volunteers to take a look inside his body to hunt down the reason for his stomach distress. She hops into the space capsule, Bulk yawns widely, and off she goes into the cave of his mouth on an adventure through all the parts of the digestive system. In each location, she will find a game and win one piece of the Golden Pyramid. Only when the Golden Pyramid is fully assembled will Millie understand what is wrong with the giants. Players may be reminded of Pajama Sam 3: You Are What You Eat From Your Head To Your Feet as this game also illustrates the importance of good nutrition, but there the resemblance ends. The hand-drawn look is typical of Tivola's games with BVM (see also Oscar the Balloonist and the Secrets of the Forest), and like Millie Meter and Her Adventure in the Oak Tree, this adventure is entirely mouse-controlled. At the bottom of each page are the option icons - at the far left is the pyramid, which shows how many pieces are still missing. The blue refrigerator holds games and the Tricktionary; Bulk's face is the volume control (move the tongue left or right for less or more volume); click on the flag to change languages; or on Millie to exit the game. On the right is a panel showing the figure of Bulk and a round x-ray viewer. The player can move this up and down to advance from area to area or travel by clicking on doors in the main screen. Millie begins her adventure in the mouth, proceeds down into the esophagus and then the stomach. From there she goes to the small intestine, takes a side trip to the liver, and finishes up in the large intestine where the, um, exit is. Characters manning various stations along the way provide explanations of the processes of digestion, and there are six mini-games that reinforce some of the concepts covered. Once all six games have been completed, the player also gains access to Millie's Tricktionary, a book of science experiments centered around nutrition; pages from this may be printed out. | ||

Oscar the Balloonist Dives into the Lake follows the further adventures of the young hero of Oscar the Balloonist and the Secrets of the Forest as he heads to the lake to visit Balthasar Pumpernickel, an animal researcher. Balthasar is afraid of the animals he's supposed to be studying, so he's relieved when Oscar agrees to help him out. Gameplay and hand-painted appearance is similar to other Tivola games developed by BVM, such as the previous Oscar the Balloonist title and Millie Meter and Her Adventures in the Oak Tree. Actions are performed with the mouse, and clicking on items activates animations. There is a row of icons at the bottom of the screen for accessing games, returning to the lake, changing seasons, changing language, and exiting. Oscar's balloon is divided into four quadrants, one for each season - clicking on one of the tree pictures will bring up that season on the lake, and the animals around it will explain how they live at that time of the year. There are 12 mini-games, five of which are available to play from the start - the other seven are hidden in the game and only become accessible as the player uncovers them. | ||

This is an educational title for young children aged between three and five years old. It contains one hundred and one mini games and aims to teach basics of phonics, numbers, shapes and puzzles/logic through game play. The games are grouped into categories. Shapes: This starts with simple, brightly coloured shapes on the left hand side of the screen which the player drags over to appropriate 'holes' on the right hand side of the screen. Later puzzles involve irregular blobs and triangular shapes where orientation is important. More Shapes: These puzzles involve using shapes to construct objects such as a car, a butterfly, a bird and so on. When completed each object performs a little animation complete with sound effects. Sounds: The player must match three sound effects to the appropriate object. The objects range from farmyard animals, musical instruments to transport and household implements. Pairs: Here the player matches pairs of objects, there's no animation here just a nice sound when the correct objects are matched. Mix & match: These puzzles show items that have been split into pieces, for example the first screen has three vehicles a train, a lorry, and an ambulance each of which has been split in two. The player clicks on the correct halves which assemble themselves and then perform a short animation. Later puzzles involve more pieces. Numbers: The player is shown one or more pictures at the top of the screen and a series of numbered buttons along the bottom of the screen. When they click on the numbered button they will hear it spoken and the object is to drag the right button to the 'hole' beneath each picture. Letters: The child is shown one or more pictures, beneath each picture is the word spelled out with one letter missing. The vowels are arranged along the bottom of the screen. When they click on the vowel button they will hear it spoken and the object is to drag the right vowel button to the gap in each word. Mazes: The object in these puzzles is to find the route through the maze guiding a dog to it's bones, a mole out of its burrow, or a spider along the pipes from the tap to its hole in the wall. Puzzles: These are simple jigsaw puzzles which have between six and twelve pieces. Some use interlocking style pieces and others use squares but in all cases the child drags the piece to its place in the monochrome picture template. More Games: This includes a version of Concentration, Tic-Tac-Toe, Four-In-A-Row, a colouring game, telling the time, a jigsaw variant and more. The product runs directly from the CD in full screen mode and is entirely mouse controlled. | ||

| Playhouse Disney's Stanley: Tiger Tales | Artech Studios Ltd. / Disney Interactive Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Stanley's Mom wants him to get ready to go to the beach and Stanley has to collect some beach items; hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, and his tiger swim tube, Theodore (which he suspects his brother has taken). He's also looking for some stickers he has misplaced, and the player is encouraged to click on everything and visit every room in the house to find all the missing items. As he uncovers animations and plays games, the player will sometimes be directed to Stanley's "Big Book of Everything", which he totes around in a wagon along with the items he finds. This book has a page and at least one animal for every letter of the alphabet except X - each page tells a few facts about the animal and offers a printable picture. As the player uncovers Stanley's stickers, they will appear in the book as well. Sometimes Stanley will seize upon an object the player has clicked and use it in imaginative play; for instance, finding his bear slippers makes Stanley pretend to be a bear reaching for a hive full of honey, and upon finding a cardboard tube Stanley puts it on his nose and pretends to be an anteater. These play scenes are accompanied by interesting tidbits about whatever animal he is being. Gameplay uses the mouse to point and click. Stanley's pet goldfish travels everywhere with him and offers encouragement and gentle reminders when needed, and will recap the player's latest accomplishments for him. There is a Parent's Area where adults can access information about the lessons their child has played through, a list of facts about animals in the game, and some ideas about reinforcing the lessons learned. The mini-games are basic and simple and serve to further Playhouse Disney's "Whole Child Curriculum", addressing child development in seven areas, and incorporating social lessons as well as typical preschool skills: Stanley's Giddy Goat Game - a memory game, where the player must follow a father goat's safe path up a mountainside; Stanley's Leaf Feast - the player must click on a specific size and color of leaf to "feed" the giraffe; A-Maze-Ing Mouse - moving the mouse to guide a mouse to Stanley's water bottle; Antelope Antidote - move Stanley stealthily from rock to tree to antelope, while the antelope isn't looking; Stanley's Trunk Facts - answer animal questions to find the code for a lock; Snakes at Stake - move Stanley through a tree by choosing numbers... landing on a leaf will send him backwards and roots will let him climb upward; Parrot Pairing Paradise - match parrots by coloring; Stanley's Monkey Dance - follow the pattern of moves the monkey makes; Crocodile Style - jump from crocodile to crocodile to cross the river. There are a few mini mini-games as well - the player may be asked to pick out the "bucket that is not big and not little" from a lineup of three, to find the last letter of his own name, place flowers in same-color vases, or find the leaf a caterpillar is under. | ||

Rainbow Fish is unaware that his playtime is being watched happily from afar by Whale, until the day Hermit Crab comes scuttling by with the news that Whale has accidentally swallowed his friends. Before long, Rainbow Fish and Hermit Crab have followed them into the whale's belly and begun the search for each and every one. Among the many mini-games and quests that arise are: Find Giggles where he is hiding in a mound of junk, then try to catch him as he pops up randomly through coral pipes; Free Molo from his imprisonment by the crab brothers while avoiding their pinches; Sort mussels by color by herding them into their own corrals; Help free Ruby from a giant bubble by popping small bubbles before they get in Rainbow Fish's way; release a seahorse baby from it's flower by helping the flower bloom; Repair Whale's broken geyser machine by finding the missing sea urchins and fitting them to the machine; Ultimately, cure Whale's hiccups before finding the way out. The player can select from two difficulty levels at the sign-in page, and is often presented with choices such as whether to continue with an action, or follow a given character into a quest. The choices are presented in the form of Yes-No fish; a little nodding fish and a head-shaking one, making it simple enough for younger players. Choices made lead to the final selection from two possible ways to exit Whale, allowing for two different endings. | ||

| Reader Rabbit 2nd Grade: Mis-cheese-ious Dreamship Adventure | The Learning Company | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This release offers an adventure designed to put second grade level skills to good use. Children can jump straight to activities that focus on a certain skill or play the games in the order that they are introduced through an interactive storyline. Kids solve puzzles geared towards basic science and math, reading, and grammar to progress through a story that brings Reader Rabbit and the gang to explore the lands of Cheesemore Island. Reader Rabbit and his friend Sam the Lion are innocently piloting their Dreamship through the sky when--from out of nowhere - a Pie Rat ship attack knocks them for a loop. The ship crashes into a sticky mass of cheese on a high mountaintop, while Sam and Reader Rabbit fall into the sea below. In Reader Rabbit 2nd Grade: Mis-cheese-ious Dreamship Adventures, players must get the intrepid adventurers back to the ship before the Pie Rats take it over. Aimed at children in the second grade, this Reader Rabbit program offers a challenging series of educational games. Players must climb Mount Cheesemore, for example, by completing a series of math formulas. The challenge is to place the cheese blocks correctly, in such a way that all the formulas are balanced. Getting one or two of the numbers to tally may be easy, but completing the third can be quite the test. In another game, crossing a fast-flowing river depends on the user's ability to make compound words, or to identify synonyms and antonyms. The games are perfect for children studying or previewing a second-grade curriculum. They are set at a perfect range of difficulty, simple at first, but with an automatic increase in toughness as players master the spelling, science, and math skills presented in the activities. At higher levels, parental assistance may be required to complete the puzzles. What's more, players must complete some tasks in order to get to others - there is no way to skip out on the language or science drills if you want to rescue the Dreamship. | ||

This is another in the Fisher-Price Rescue Heroes Series, this one is aimed at children in the 4-7 age range. The story behind the game is that the earth has been struck by a cluster of meteors that have done damage in specific areas. It is the Rescue Heroes task to travel to the trouble spots and rescue people who are trapped. There are four hot spots to be dealt with, each representing a different mini game featuring different heroes. Each game has three levels of difficulty, trainee, specialist and expert, with each level of difficulty having more people and animals in need of rescue. The player can change the difficulty if they find the game too hard or too easy. When all missions have been completed the game unlocks one of a series of printable pictures which the player is invited to colour in. The four mini games in this title are: Outback Nature Preserve - This game is set in the Australian Outback and features Billy Blazes. It is in two parts, the first part is a side scrolling game in which the player uses the mouse to navigate Billy's All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) to the bush fire. Some obstacles such as rivers cannot be driven around and here the player uses the winch to get the vehicle back on track. The second part of the game is to put out the fires which is done by pointing at the flames with the mouse and firing water at them. Once all the fires are out the player calls Ariel Flyer to transport the animals to safety. When playing this game on the expert setting Billy's backpack has a limited quantity of water and this must be replenished from the ATV. Seaside Studios - A nearby meteor strike has flooded the Seaside movie studio, this is a job for Gil Gripper and rescue dolphin Nemo. Nemo finds the trapped people one at a time and the player steers Gil's jet-ski to their location through a watery maze. Once there the player has to fire rescue buoys over floating obstacles to the victim at which point Nemo guides them to safety. Klondike Canyons - This game features hero Rocky Canyon with Jake Justice as his unseen assistant. Hikers in the Klondike Canyons were left stranded after meteors caused the cliff paths to fall away. The player guides Rocky around the cliff face to locate each hiker. Once the hiker dons the safety harness Rocky gives them Jake winches them to safety. This is the only game with active hazards. There are vultures, snakes and falling rocks any of which can knock Rocky off the cliff face. Alpine Slopes - In this game the object is to rescue climbers trapped when a meteor triggered an avalanche. It features heroes Al Pine and rescue dog Wind Chill in a two-part game. In the first part the player navigates Al Pine around obstacles as he races down the mountain side on his snowboard. This part ends when Al encounters Wind Chill who's found a trapped climber. Al then smashes the ice away from the cave in which the climber is sheltering and Wind Chill guides them to safety. These two stages are repeated until all climbers have been rescued. | ||

This cartoon-style children's adventure features some well-known Muppet characters from the Sesame Street television series, notably the furry red monster, Elmo. When he visits Oscar the Grouch in his underwater research lab and expresses interest in Oscar's plan to collect junk from the ocean, Elmo is recruited to pilot a submarine and collect all the junk he can. The category of junk changes from game to game - coins, rings, etc. The player moves the mouse to guide Elmo and his yellow submarine through the depths of the ocean; one click stops the vehicle and another click changes the cursor to Elmo's underwater tool, which is a mini-sub with a hand, flashlight, or microphone attached. Clicking the icons at the bottom of the screen changes the tool currently in use. Other icons show what kind of junk Oscar wants and how much of it has been collected so far; Oscar's garbage can, which brings the player back to the lab, and an exit door. As the player explores under the sea, he will come across creatures and objects to interact with and Muppet characters with mini-games to play: Rosita and the Clan of the Cave Pairs - use the flashlight tool to find matching partners for some ocean animals; Telly and the Lost City of Atlantis - replace fallen shapes on the Atlantean walls to bring murals to life; Miss Octopus' Garden - plant seeds to finish patterns of vegetables; Zoe and the Shallows - listen and find the swimmer making the sound Zoe asks for so she can tell who's swim time is up; Grover and the Sunken Shipwreck - push a lever to create a path in the right direction for Clammie to reach a treasure. When the player returns to the undersea lab, Oscar tallies up the collected junk, and if it is enough, he will use it to create a surprise. This provides practice in the preschool skills of pattern recognition, problem solving, shape and color matching, audio discrimination and counting. | ||

Humongous Entertainment brings to life another SPY Fox adventure in SPY Fox: "Operation Ozone." Pitted against none other than Poodles Galore, SPY Fox's mission is to save the world by disarming the hairspray space station she launched to destroy the ozone and leave the world dependent on her supply of super sunscreen. Monkey Penny and Dr. Quack also return to aid the super suave SPY Fox. With its animated style, the game includes areas such as a bowling alley, a diner, and Poodles' secret factory for exploring and searching for clues. SPY central is located in a hot air balloon, and a communicator watch icon allows Spy Fox to communicate with players in need of assistance. The arrow cursor that players use to navigate the game will become solid when Spy Fox can initiate an action or go to a new area. Clicking on everything and everyone encountered is the name of the game, since this is how clues are acquired and it gives players an indication of what action should be taken. SPY Fox is also armed with a myriad of spy gadgets, including the Grappling Granny and the Sticky Stun Bun. These spy tools, combined with some quick thinking, will help players locate the necessary information to defeat Poodles Galore. The bowling alley contains a jukebox which, besides concealing a clue, will play any of the 11 soundtracks that are included on the disc. | ||

This is an educational typing tutor game starring Tux, the Linux penguin. It's a free and open-source typing tutor created primarily for children, although adults are likely to find it useful too. It features several different types of gameplay, at a variety of difficulty levels. It is intended to improve words per minute speed of typists. In Fish Cascade you control Tux as he searches for fish to eat. Fish fall from the top of the screen. These fish have letters on them. Unfortunately for Tux, eating a fish with a letter on it will cause his stomach to become ill, so it is up to you to help Tux eat fish. By typing the letters, it will cause them to disappear so tux can chow down on the fish. In Comet Zap you control Tux as he defends the cities from comets. To protect a city from a comet, type the letter on the comet and it will cause Tux to destroy it with a laser. (In case you wondered, Comet Zap is an adaptation of the *great* math drill game, "Tux, of Math Command"). "Lessons" and "Phrase Typing" are additional typing activities. "Phrase Typing" involves typing of phrases or complete sentences, with measurement of accuracy and typing speed. The current phrases in the default (English) theme are a collection of pangrams (sentences with all 26 letters) as well as some well-known quotes from public domain literature. At some point we will make this easy for teachers to modify, so sentences related to a current study topic might be used. It supports a wide range of languages, including Armenian, Bokmal, Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, Czech, Danish, German, English, Euskera, French, Spanish, Greek, Jamaican, Lithuanian, Nepalese, Russian, Swedish, Swahili and even a few smaller languages you might not expect to find. | ||

| Yoco et la Course au Trésor [Fr] | Mandarine Interactive | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

The second advertising game licensed to Yoco, the French subsidiary of Nestle, which made yoghurts and other dairy products. We have to again play the role of the "mascot" of the first named company - the boy of the same name with standing erect red hair, who, together with his friends (as in the first game, a boy and a girl - but outwardly already completely different) goes to New York, where discovers a treasure map. The famous thief Bob Carcass, who recently escaped from prison, learns about this, and after that begins to pursue the heroes in order to be the first to take possession of the jewels. To start the game, you must enter your name and click on the "Ok" icon next to it. Unlike the first part, which was a simplified quest with arcade mini-games, this thing, despite the very similar visual style and interface, belongs to a completely different direction: in fact, we have an interactive encyclopedia of nature and the indigenous population of various regions of North America, realized in the form of a conditional "interactive" cartoon. Its passage - which again contrasts with its predecessor - will not be completely free: the starting location is the largest city in the United States, from where, having taken possession of the map, we can already randomly go to three regions: the Grand Canyon, Alaska and Central America (although the latter is located the named point for some reason on the territory of Colombia ...). Access to the last "level", the same treasure island. Mini-games, fortunately, are still provided, both arcade and logic ones. As in the first part, to access the menu, you need to click on the portrait of Yoko that is constantly displayed at the bottom of the screen, which leads to the appearance of a line with a row of icons to the right of it. To go (or rather, "return" if necessary) to the "main action" you need to refer to the icon in the form of a map; pressing the chess knight launches a separate mode with those very small entertainments, each of which will be encountered during the direct passage; which is nice, this time they are presented here in full force, that is, you can get acquainted with each of them in isolation from the "main" mode. In order to go back to the "plot", you can use the same menu, using the map. | ||

Kids can enjoy an animal safari Zoboo-style with The Learning Company's Zoboomafoo Animal Alphabet. Joined by the Kratt Brothers, children visit Animal Junction with Zoboo and learn about animals from A to Z. This title includes interactive activities, printable activity sheets and flashcards, video footage, and Zoboomafoo songs. Aside from Animal Junction, kids can journey to the make-believe Zobooland to play games and solve puzzles. There are 26 animal friends inside Animal Junction, one to represent each letter of the alphabet. As children try to fill their Creature Adventure Photo Album from A to Z, they are presented with facts about each animal including habitat, weight and size, and role in nature. Some animals will lead children to interactive games with an educational emphasis. Counting, sorting, early phonics, pattern recognition, and following directions are some of the skills these games enforce. Besides facts and games, all of the animals inside Animal Junction are accompanied by video footage. As children click on and listen to information about each creature, they are given the letter the animal's name begins with. For example, after clicking on the Zebra, listening to the commentary and viewing the video footage, they will have earned the letter Z in their Creature Adventure Photo Album. Eight of the animals will engage children in an activity, and their letters will only be awarded after it's been completed. For example, after clicking on the elephant, children are taken to a game where they must repeat various animal sound patterns. After successfully repeating three patterns, they will be awarded the letter E. Besides earning all letters of the alphabet for the album, children can also print animal flashcards and color. Three difficulty settings are available before beginning the game. In addition to the Animal Junction environment there is also an animated version of the claymation Zobooland, where children can interact with more Zoboomafoo characters. | ||

After a series of pre-rendered images with text, you enter a 3D exploration mode, during which you'll have to walk around the mansion and find the girl who is hiding from you. Once you find her, you enter a "chase mode", during which you'll have to run and jump on the girl. Pressing and holding mouse buttons will make you attempt to overpower the girl, and deplete her "hit points". Once she runs out of HP, a 3D interactive sex scene begins. You can choose to interact with the girl by selecting various menu choices (sexual positions, touching body parts, etc.), or by physically interacting with the girl, pressing and dragging the mouse in the appropriate motion. | ||

This is a game where the player takes photos of naked women and sells them on the internet. The game takes place on a two-dimensional beach background where several in comic-style animated people do... stuff. The goal is to photograph the most erotic actions, e.g. an undressing woman or a copulating couple, because these give the most money. This is used to buy better equipment for more lucrative pictures and to unlock new beaches. But unfortunately there are policemen and nudism-fanatics who don't approve of this noble activity. So the player has to buy disguises to fool them. The game is played entirely with the mouse; only one click is needed to take a photo or to change the equipment. Sometimes the player gets rewarded with (censored) sex videos; either drawn or with real-life porn star Laura Angel. A Special-Hardcore-Edition was also released that had unlockable videos which were uncensored and/or extended. | ||

Although this is a simple game, the dev. uses nude pictures that have been floating around the net, at the time when we were still using 56k modems and Netscape was the best web browser. | ||

Hiroki has suffered for years from an unknown illness. Due to his weak constitution, he is unable to live like a normal schoolkid and often has to depend on his best friend Ayano to take care of him. When he can attend school, he often spends most of his time in the nurse's office. Ayano cares for Hiroki more than she is willing to admit, and Hiroki repeatedly pushes her away due to his embarrassment at being unable to "be a man" and fend for himself. One day, an outlandishly-dressed girl named Maria drops in, and cheerfully tells Hiroki that she is to be his private nurse for one month. Maria will live with Hiroki, give him her personal care, and help cure him. Hiroki is bullheaded and doesn't want to lose what freedom he has, and Ayano has mixed emotions about a beautiful girl living with her lifelong friend. Over the course of that month, a romance begins to blossom -- but with whom? Private Nurse plays as an interactive novel. The story proceeds at its own pace, pausing occasionally to allow the user to intervene by making a decision, resulting in a plot branch.

The year is 2197. Sapporo, the largest city on the northern Hokkaido island in Japan, has become the crime capital of the country, earning the title of "city of lust". Powerful criminal organizations are controlling the city, and the police is unable to do anything. Only a handful of lone heroes, led by two beautiful young girls, Kikuno and Chisame, can take on the criminals and restore the order in the city. Requiem Hurts has three gameplay modes: adventure, rail shooter, and interactive sex scenes. In the adventure mode, the protagonists of the game run through 3D levels viewed from a third-person perspective. You can jump and climb automatically, but it is sometimes necessary to run before jumping. There is also a light element of puzzle-solving in some of the levels. The rail shooter parts will occur at fixed moments during the exploration of a level. Your character moves automatically, and your goal is to aim and shoot at enemies who keep popping out. Various upgrades can also be shot during those fights. During the interactive sex scenes, your goal is to bring the girl's "pleasure meter" to the top. This is achieved by alternating between different positions. The player can control the speed of the action by clicking and dragging the left mouse button, simulating movement. | ||

Under pressure to improve your typing skills in real life, you find yourself dreaming every night about scenarios from various VIPER games in which proficient typing would be used to solve a particular problem. As your skills improve, the stages get progressively harder. A simple typing tutorial featuring cameos by a number of Sogna characters, arranged into progressively more difficult stages of typing tasks. The game features three levels of difficulty, corresponding to the traditional Japanese trio of plum, bamboo, and pine trees. The stages are presented as dreams by the protagonist. In the first stage, after a brief warm up, you must help Bravan and Anri defend their base from a Donarghe attack. Success nets you an introduction to one of the base assistants, Kurumi. As Karin in Stage 2, Makoto instructs you to tally up all the customer charges for the day. A mistake results in Karin having to loose a piece of clothing. You're forced to continue until all the bills are tallied up or she's completely disrobed. In the third stage, you dream that you're Captain and you must help Asuka with her spelling of a number of short English words. She promises to make it up to you if you help her though. Stage 4 has you now dream as you are Taneo from the Green Boy series. Natane attempts to teach you how to type Japanese kana but offers the reward of your choosing if you type every word correctly without error. In the fifth stage, you become Ratty, who is going shopping with Carrera when their path is suddenly blocked by Ruri. Wishing to prove herself as more "adult" than Ratty, Ruri challenges her to spell a very long word but neglects to give the time to do it successfully. Outwitting you, she demands you use some devil magic to lure a young boy into the alley so she can have some fun. The sixth stage introduces the RSR characters, Elan and Cala. As Elan, you must first do battle with three monsters before you can challenge Cala. Quickly typing the names of fire-based spells and sword techniques is you're only chance of stripping Cala of her power and her clothes. In the seventh and final stage, you are confronted by the Queen of the Magical Gambler ToToCaL Cyomi series. She requests that you cure one of the VIPER characters who has been brainwashed - Mika. Like the previous stage, you must quickly type powerful battle commands to defend against the attacks of Mika's power suit. | ||

This is a hentai game which is focused on fetishes concerning the human digestive system. After watching the intro sequence, which basically consists of pictures of toilets and the Japanese spelling for Water Closet, the player can choose between five different characters all with bathroom-related problems. There is Ikumi who can't control her bladder when she gets nervous; Julyne, the nurse of a an urologist's office; Reika, the top model who suffers from constipation; Shoko, whose husband owns the Will Century Building; and Setsuko, who just has the nickname "Toilet". All stories play in the above mentioned Will Century Building, mainly in the building's bathrooms. During each story the character meets the other playable characters and a mysterious man named W.C. Nicholson, a Western toilet researcher who is obsessed with toilets and their history. Nicholson has his own way of dealing with the characters' problems. Gameplay is similar to that of other Hentai games, meaning it's an interactive novel. The player clicks through text and can make decisions from time to time which result in different endings. In order to unlock all available scenes and graphics for each character the player has to play each story multiple times because some choices in the story of Character A appear only after having played through the story of Character D and so on. The English version features English text with the original Japanese voices. While the voice output is censored, the explicit sexual graphics are uncensored. | ||

No matter how hard you try, it seems that all the girls around you are constantly pushing you around: your teasing step-sister Natsumi, the genius president of your chemistry club Asami, but especially Asuka, your beautiful childhood friend. One fateful day, while cleaning some shelves in the chemistry room, you spill a mysterious chemical on yourself. The next thing you know, you've been transformed into a girl! And so begins this hilarious erotic adventure. As a woman, you discover a new world of experiences, some welcome and others not. Can female-Takuya find a way back to normal, while avoiding the many temptations that come with his new female body? Can he find a way to express his feelings for Asuka, without hurting another who loves him? A remake was later done named X-Change R with graphics redone and extra endings. | ||

|
|
The luxury zeppelin IFS Zephyr begins her maiden voyage from Caladon in the Kingdom of Arland to Tarant, one of the largest cities in the technologically advanced Unified Kingdom. Suddenly, while the zeppelin is cruising over mountains, two monoplanes attack it and eventually shoot it down. The two half-ogre attackers die in flames along with all their victims except two who miraculously survived. However, one of them, an old gnome, is mortally wounded. Just before he dies, he gives a silver ring to the other survivor and tells him to "find the boy". The witness of the crash, a man named Virgil, declares that the now only survivor is "The Living One", a reincarnation of a deity, and offers to follow him wherever he goes. The hero begins a long and perilous search for the mysterious boy, the origins of the silver ring, and the unknown enemy who was behind the attack on the zeppelin. Arcanum is a role-playing game similar in concept and many gameplay principles to Fallout. It is set in a unique world, which can be described as mixture between Tolkienesque fantasy, steampunk technology and elements of British and North American culture of the 19th century: dwarves may carry molotov cocktails, and a half-orc protagonist can travel by train between Victorian-like cities. Magic and technology are opposed to each other; most humans and dwarves embrace technology, while some elf clans stick to the old ways and consider scientific progress evil. The game is open-ended: the player is free to explore the vast world from the onset, undertaking a large amount of side quests or following the main story. Social interaction plays a significant role: depending on the player character's charisma and intelligence attributes, as well as persuasion skill, many problems can be solved in a non-violent way. The amount of companions willing to follow the protagonist also depends on the latter's charisma rating; companions may also leave the party if they disagree with the hero's behavior. The player can select one of the three combat modes for the game: real-time, turn-based, and fast-paced turn-based. Turn-based mode is similar to the combat in Fallout games: characters require action points to move, attack, or cast spells. | ||

This is a remake of the Chinese (Taiwanese) role-playing game Xianjian Qixia Zhuan. The remake preserves the story, dialogues, battle system, and overall graphical style of the original. Certain conversations and story sequences have been expanded or added, including two alternate hidden endings to the story. Some of the dungeons have a different (sometimes slightly simplified) design. Instead of simple 2D backgrounds and character sprites, the remake utilizes pre-rendered backgrounds and small 3D character models, similarly to the second installment of the series. | ||

An Adventure/RPG game from Ukrainian game developers. In the laboratories of the University, located in a small town, a series of experiments are going on to create the "perfect" being. Students participating in these low-budget studies, never imagined the consequences they face. Each of them lived a long and happy life, and did not learn that the world was changed forever. A dynamic plot combines detective and fantastic elements and will be interesting to adolescents and more adult players. The view of the game is from a third-person isometric. Landscapes and interiors, created by talented designers and artists, give the player a sense of the reality of the outside world. More than 100 heroes and plenty of background characters give the player the feeling of "immersion" in the gaming world. The game has around 40 character models, dynamic and animated, with a view to increasing the realism and immersiveness of the game (better gameplay). The scenario of the game is nonlinear and is designed for repeated passages. The game starts with a dynamic screen saver, misleading the player in the course of events, and giving the necessary game information. The original musical arrangement perfectly creates the game's atmosphere. | ||

Set in the period immediately following the death of King Arthur, this is an online role-playing game which offers a blend of killing AI controlled monsters, and killing (or being killed by!) player controlled Invaders from Other Realms. Each copy of the world (of which there are many, each holding up to 3000 simultaneous players) is divided into three competing realms: Albion, Midgard and Hibernia. The realm of Albion is based on Arthurian legend, whereas Midgard is modeled after Norse mythology, and Hibernia on Celtic myths. Each realm offers extensive internal areas for straight "monster-bashing" of a style similar to Everquest and other Diku MUD derivatives, as well as a large frontier region which can be invaded by players of the competing realms. PvE focuses on defeating monsters found in dungeons, the open world, and RvR zones. Players earn experience points towards obtaining levels by killing both monsters and enemy players. Gaining levels yields new skills, abilities, and access to expansion areas. The current maximum level is 50. Expansions to the game offer alternative advancement type levels that grant additional abilities to level-50 players. It has a monthly fee. In 2019, Endless Conquest, a non-subscription style game account allowing players to play the game for free was released, with some restrictions on how many characters the player can have, character classes, as well as some services within the game. | ||

This is a mixture between Commandos and RPG. The first noteworthy aspect of the game is its unusual scenario: It is set in the world of bugs. The player takes the command over four of them, all with different classes, e.g. fighter or mage. The goal in the 15 missions is the completion of quests, e.g. finding a lump of sugar. Like in other tactic games the player characters are easily killed. The consequence of this is the need of stealth and planned proceeding. The classes have different abilities which are needed to progress in the game. With every solved quest and killed enemy the bugs get experience points which are used to advance their levels. Except for the mage (he gets new spells) this has no other effect than improving the fighting strength. | ||

Zhuo Shan is a fisherman living in a Chinese village with his wife and two children. He doesn't remember a thing from his past, but the nightmares haunt him so bad that he has to take medicine now and then. One day strange visitors arrive in the village and capture Shan's family demanding that he returned them the ''perfect sword", a blade of unmatched power. It turns out that Shan is not an ordinary fisherman, but a mighty warrior named Yong who was hiding from his enemies for over twelve years. He returns the "perfect sword" but in the meantime his wife dies and his children are taken away. Shan's only option is to seek his enemies to try and save the remnants of his family and stop his mysterious and powerful nemesis from using the "perfect sword". In this quest Shan will find many allies that will fight by his side. This is a Chinese-made, Japanese-style role-playing game featuring free world exploration. The battles are turn-based. There are four battle commands: attack, cast a magic spell, use item and defend. When attacking the player has to chose which part of enemy's body to hit, then by well-timed button presses he can activate a combo attack which delivers significantly more damage but uses up some magic points. Casting a magic spell uses the same magic points. Each party member can use his or her own skills, combo attacks and magic spells. When a party member is attacked his or her "rage" meter will gradually fill up; when full it will immediately boost the party member's stats for one turn and grant him or her the ability to deliver multiple hits to an enemy. The game is based on a comic book by Ma Rongchen (Ma Wing-shing) and was released simultaneously with the TV series Feng Yun (titled Wind and Cloud or The Storm Riders for English-speaking viewers). | ||

| First Queen 1 [J] | Kure Software Koubou | [top] | |

This was originally a 1988 PC-9801 RPG that combines traditional turn-based RPG gameplay with large-scale strategic battles. This game, the first in Kure Software's First Queen series, introduced the Gochyakyara ("Multiple Characters") system that allowed many AI companions to fight alongside the player character. It features a tactical system with real-time strategy elements. The game originated on Japanese computers and would eventually see updated releases for the Super Famicom in 1994 (as First Queen: Ornic Senki) and a Windows PC graphically-enhanced remake in 2001. The game is also known for its involvement with an artist who would be better known for his work with Square's. The land of Logris is home to many races and nations: humans, elves, dwarves, centaurs, and others. It is divided into many small kingdoms, different nations trying to live in peace with each other. But the queen of Ornic, one of these nations, had plans of her own. She sent her troops to the south, invading the kingdom of elves. The army of Ornic started conquering one country after the other. The king and queen of Cardic, a powerful country in the south, decided to stop the madness, sending their soldiers, under the commands of general Richmond, to find allies wherever possible and to defeat the army of Ornic. First Queen is a mixture of RPG and strategy game with real-time combat. In a RPG fashion, the party of heroes roams the world, fighting enemies, buying items, and leveling up. However, the focus of the game is shifted towards recruiting soldiers and fighting against whole armies. The player-controlled unit may contain a dozen or more characters, and it is also possible to build more than one, making the player-controlled group more similar to an army than to a standard RPG-type party. Like the earlier Silver Ghost by the same developer, the game utilizes the so-called gocha-kyara ("mixed-up characters") combat system, which they later employed in several other games. The player is able to control only one character at a time; the others act according to the computer AI. Attacking an enemy is a matter of simply bumping into him. This system allows for large-scale battles, with the characters sometimes filling the entire screen, creating the "mixed-up" impression. | ||

A little baby was abandoned by his parents, and one fine day a dragon found a cradle near his door. He took the helpless creature into his home, raised it and taught it his wisdom and his magic. When the little Roszondas grew up, he learned how to use the dragon magic against the evil creatures populating the land. He was a brave warrior, but in one of his battles he was killed. His soul found a reincarnation, and this reincarnation is you. You find your tower invaded by zombies and other awful creatures. You have to fight the evil once again. This is an isometric role-playing game conceived in the tradition of Baldur's Gate. Roszondas and his companions (up to four in the party) explore the game world, talking to NPCs, performing quests, and fighting enemies in "real-time-with-pause" combat. Beside the usual character attributes and combat abilities, Roszondas also has dragon powers, which can level up as well. In the beginning of the game the player chooses a weapon for Roszondas; regardless of the choice, this weapon can talk, has its own statistics which can also level up, and has an "Ego" meter which grows with time, and even makes the weapon question the hero's actions if it is high enough. | ||

This nice German developed RPG adventure is set against the backdrop of a
landscape savaged by war, the King of the human territories must find enough ore to
forge weapons for his army to use in defence against the Orc Hordes. The King's mines
are set in a large magical sphere and are worked by prisoners captured from across
the kingdom. And it is into this sphere that you are thrown, charged with the task
of delivering a letter – a letter that might just mark the turning point in the war
against the Orcs. The Gothic world is constantly changing and evolving: events will
occur that can alter the relationships between several groups of characters. NPCs
are fully rounded with their own daily habits and relationships: they get up, work,
go to bed, chat with each other and so on. More significantly, monsters cooperate
with each other and are able to figure things out; they have individual perception.
Some can be lured with food or noise, some will run away from bright light. Some can
only hear or detect movement. Each character has the ability, with the correct
training, to improve particular skills as the game progresses: training with the
master of the sword, for example, will result in a character displaying noticeably
more skilled swordsmanship. It is so much more satisfying to witness the effect of
the skills you have learnt when they are visible in your character as oppose to a
meaningless number rating, improving say, from 8 to 10. These 'optical' improvements
are for the whole range of skills included in Gothic. The two different classes of
magic (which are absolutely independent from each other) work along the same lines.

This was meant to be an official Gothic addon, but was eventually canceled. Its development started in May 2001, and the project was canceled in October of the same year. The game was supposed to start few months after the events of Gothic. Xardas managed to bring Nameless Hero back from the Temple of the Sleeper, and informs him that since the barrier had fallen, the situation in the valley have been actually getting worse. Banishment of The Sleeper caused the barrier in between dimensions to weaken, and so all kinds of demonic creatures started to flood the former colony. The Hero teleports out of Xardas's tower, and finds himself outside the Old Camp, in front of female warrior Thora, who escorts him into the camp that was destroyed due to the magic storm caused by the fall of barrier. Diego took over the Old Camp, and gathered all surviving convicts. He tells The Hero about orcs surrounding the valley, and that King Rhobar II arrived and settled himself in the Mountain Fortress. Next plot points are in the form of brief ideas and notes of developers. Nameless Hero and Thora going to the Mountain Fortress, and in order to see Rhobar II, The Hero has to prove himself useful. Mages of Fire have a plan. In order to stop demonic creatures, they have to stabilize the magic structure, this can only be done with the help of the Focus Stones. The Hero will have to retrieve them from Saturas who is still residing in the New Camp. Another step was to gather a proper amount of "Blood Ore" that was necessary to perform the ritual. Blood Ore could be found under the Fog Tower. The Hero had to hire experienced Diggers to mine the ore, and Demon Hunter(Gorn was amongst them) that would keep the evil creatures away from the excavation site. When enough ore was amassed, Fire Mages tell The Hero to ask Xardas for help. It turns out that mages just wanted to get rid of The Hero, and performed a ritual on their own. Unfortunately they did it in inappropriate spot and caused a small portal linking human and demonic dimensions to open, and mages were sucked into the portal. Nameless now has to head to the former Swamp Camp that was swarmed with monsters and undead. He could find out how to properly perform a ritual in the camp, then put the Focus Stones in the correct spots, while fighting former Fire Mages that were turned into evil servants. Once all preparations are done, The Hero had a choice - to banish The Sleeper or to summon him. Then the final battle would begin, followed by the game ending cutscene. A working build was leaked in 2017. | ||

This is a fantasy SRPG (strategy role-playing game), and the first in the popular Growlanser series first on Playstation in 1999. The main character is Carmaine, an orphan raised by the palace royal magician, Sandra. Prophesied as an infant to become either "the darkness to destroy the world" or "the light which saves it", Sandra carefully watches over him and never allows him to leave Rolandia's capital city, Rosaria, or have any contact with the outside world. However, throughout his childhood Carmaine experiences strange and vivid dreams of people and places he knows nothing about. When at last he becomes old enough, Sandra tells him it is time to go out and explore beyond the city gates. Accompanied by Tippi, his tiny fairy-like companion, he leaves the city to discover his destiny. The game has a complex storyline with branching paths. During his travels Carmaine will discover different lands and peoples. Among them are the Growsians, humans who can wield ancient magic, and the Featherians, a winged race of people. As the story progresses, Carmaine discovers that there are conspiratorial enemies seeking to cause trouble for the land and people. Carmaine's personality, stats and skills are determined by answering questions at the beginning of the game. Eventually other characters can join Carmine's party, some whose recruitment requires fulfilling certain conditions. Romance elements are possible with some party members. Combat between enemies and the large party of controllable characters is a mixture of real-time and turn-based styles. Strategic battles occupy the entire location; depending upon where the battle occurs, non-party members nearby (such as townspeople, soldiers etc.) may help the party by joining in. | ||

As a former apprentice to a superhero, you are ready to strike out on your own. You have been provisionally assigned to protect Smalltown from evil big and small. Unknown to you, the evil Mr. C has plans for Smalltown, and you are in the way. Defeat evil in various forms such as Biker Gangs, Frat Boys, Gangsters, Killer Clowns, and various super villains. Discover Mr. C's evil plot, and stop it before it's too late. Hero X is an isometric perspective 3rd-person superhero game where you punch and kick your way through enemies as well as use some of your superpowers. With over 50 superpowers to choose from, plus ability to customize your hero's looks (to a certain extent), your strategy will be different each time you play. In contrast, one of the major disappointments with Hero X is the lack of diversity in what you see. Most physical settings look very similar, with only a small range of colors, that are pretty stark and empty. Most of the villains, including hoods, crime lords, losers, and thugs or all sorts, are roughly the same size possessing the same kind of features, with nobody nearly as ominous as Freedom Force's Lord Dominion; the result is that you do not develop an immersive obsession with eradicating any of them. This combination of run-of-the-mill cookie cutter opponents and bland locales reduces the enjoyment of the gameplay. | ||

| Hydlide 1-2-3 [J] | T&E Soft | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
A PC compilation disc that includes the PC-88 versions of all three Hydlide games, an early Japanese RPG series first started in 1984, as well as the remakes of the first and third game. It also includes a museum with various data and interviews. Incidentally, this version uses the cover art from the third game rather than the first game. It seems like the package for the first game bared too much resemblance to a scene from the movie The Neverending Story (minus the gigantic tower). Loosely inspired by the original Ultima games, it’s a simple action RPG where a lone player character runs around a game world, ramming into enemies to attack, finding items, and gaining levels. While it’s well regarded in Japanese circles as a true classic, it’s largely been deemed a joke by the English speaking audience. The original Hydlide features a hero named Jim, who inhabits the magical world of Fairyland, the setting of all future Hydlide games. It’s his job to rescue the fair princess Anne, who was split into three fairies by the demon Varalys/Boralis, who shows as a major villain in all of the other games. You must rescue the fairies, then defeat the evil demon. There’s not much text or story, other than what’s listed in the manual. The player has to explore vast wilderness areas, descending into dungeons and eliminating enemies on the way. Combat system is similar to the one implemented in Ys series: attacking enemies requires the player to "bump" into them, at the same time preventing them from attacking the playable character from the sides and the back. The player can change between defensive and offensive stances by pressing a single button. Magic spells can also be used to dispose of the enemies. The player character grows stronger and gains better parameters as he advances in the game. Hydlide II In a different space a wonderful world existed, called Fairy Land, which was dominated by swords and magic after the times of domination by monsters and evil had ended. The people of Fairy Land were intoxicated with peace. At that time an incident occurred. A Consciousness filled with evil awoke and it created new monsters, brought the dead back to life, and wanted to dominate Fairy Land again. The monks were one of the first who noticed this and warned the people about it but they didn't listen and left the monks disappointed. The monks prayed to God and asked Him if there was a Savior. God, impressed by the monks prayers warped the space-time of Fairy Land with the human world and selected an innocent boy who lived there. The player controls the innocent boy, who must roam the lands of Fairy Land and free it from evil. The player has to create a character before beginning the quest, customizing his parameters - life, strength, and magic. As in the previous game, the player slays enemies by "bumping" into them or using magical spells. It is possible to change between attacking and defensive stances on the fly. The hero can become stronger and gain additional powers. In the villages there are shops where the protagonist can buy and sell weapons, armor, and items. Hydlide 3 Character creation allows the player to choose one of the four character classes: Warrior, Thief, Priest, and Monk. In combat, the protagonist uses melee or long-ranged weapons or casts magic spells. Unlike the previous games in the series, the player is required to press the attack button during melee combat, instead of simply "bumping" into the enemies. There is an internal clock in the game, which makes it necessary for the protagonist to sleep periodically and regain his strength. The main character also has to eat from time to time, otherwise his hit points will gradually decrease. The morality system from the previous game returns: killing friendly creatures will reduce the player's morality level, which will eventually have an effect on one of the game's most decisive battles. | ||

Picking up after the conclusion of Icewind Dale, peace has returned to Icewind Dale... or so it seems. A plot by the northern Barbarians to attack the Ten Towns is underway, and it is up to the party of adventurers to investigate and stop this plot. This expansion on the original game is more of the same. The game focuses on epic battles and powerful magics, relying on the plot only to provide a background for the fighting and spell-casting. Included are new weapons, armors, and enemies. Battles are now more like Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn than in the original, relying heavily on strategy and spell-casting to combat very powerful enemies. The player can import their party from the original game to continue their adventure. A free expansion pack for Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter was made available after the release of this add-on. It is called Trials of the Luremaster and features new areas, new quests, new challenges, new character portraits, monsters, and more. The pack plugs directly into the game and was created due to criticism that Heart of Winter was too short. | ||

| Legend Of Swordman Collection, The [Ch] | Kingsoft Nishiyama Studios | [top] | |

|
|
The Legend Of Swordman is a stand-alone action role-playing game developed by Kingsoft Nishiyama Studios, which is based on the first generation of the 1997 version of Swordman Romance, and was released on December 15, 2001. During the late years of Song Dynasty in China (12th century), the ambition of the northern Manchu-like Jin nation to invade the rich empire became too strong. The situation was worsened by the corruption of Chinese minister, such as Qing Gui, who was one of the most prominent politicians who betrayed his country. You play as a young man named Dugu Jian, the best pupil of the school Hengshan. His father was a famous swordsman who was betrayed by his best friend, Zhang Feng and was killed. Dugu Jian begins a quest for personal revenge, which only becomes stronger because of his desire to protect China from the Jin invaders. Xin Jianxia Qingyuan is a remake of an older Chinese-made role-playing game. This version features isometric pre-rendered backgrounds with small 3D characters, and point-and-click interface with highlighted persons and objects, similar to Baldur's Gate series. The combat is action-based. The player has to click on the enemy to attack physically, or cast spells in real time by pressing one of the previously assigned quick buttons. In standard RPG fashion, the protagonist receives experience points by defeating foes, gaining levels and becoming stronger. The Legend Of Swordman 2 is an ARPG game produced and released by Jinshan in 2001, the game is set in the Southern Song Dynasty era of Jinge Iron Horse and The Flames, with yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other historical figures appearing, but the main line of the story is still based on the wulin grudge, telling an anti-aggression, feeling-blown martial arts legend. Come and join Swordman Love Affair 2: Legend of the Moon Shadow to become the protagonist of the game and write your own life. It's an action RPG similar to the concept of Diablo with a real-time fighting system. Characters use martial attacks to engage enemies in any direction, with fights that can have close to 100 participants. The story and music draw heavily from traditional Chinese culture. The story takes place three years after the second large-scale invasion of the Jin State in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhang Rumeng, son of the general of Southern Song Dynasty, and Nangong Caihong, daughter of the Jin State Teacher, have become lovers from enemies through the events in the first game Jian Xia Qing Yua. Twenty years later, their son Nangong Feiyun has grown up and is now sixteen. Players control him as he embarks on a new adventure. | ||

| Magic & Mayhem: The Art of Magic | Charybdis Limited, Climax Nottingham / Bethesda Softworks LLC | [top] | |

|
|
Based on the 1998 sleeper hit Magic & Mayhem, Art of Magic is actually a prequel, taking place some 500 years before the story of the original game. Very much like the original, however, the player takes on the role of a young hero who is just beginning to learn the skills of wizardry and find his place in the world. Waking up the morning after the lively celebration of his eighteenth birthday, the brave Aurax is sent into the woods to look for his lost sister. The adventure begins as the siblings are suddenly attacked in the forest and Aurax's sister is stolen away. Though in a basic way the gameplay is similar to that in traditional real-time strategy games, there is no gold to mine nor wood to chop. Mana is the truly important resource in this game, as nearly all actions rely upon it in one way or another. While the characters' mana power reserves are gradually regenerated, special items and areas on the game map can speed up this recovery. Finding and controlling these special objects and places becomes an important part of the overall strategy. Role-playing elements have substantial influence as well in this game, as Aurax becomes stronger and better equipped according to his success in completing each mission. Take down foes by unleashing powerful magic attacks. Summon powerful creatures to aid you in battle. There's over 30 challenging campaigns. Major differences from the previous game include a requirement for 3D acceleration, a new storyline, and enhanced multiplayer aspects. | ||

Movement, spells, and attacks cost turn points, which the characters are given each turn. Characters can execute ability attacks which deplete their TP bar, as well as perform powerful combos that require the player to press keys in certain rhythmical patterns. Carta points are awarded for defeating foes. Carta are energy patterns that roughly correspond to elemental magic and are represented by Chinese characters, The player can distribute carta points freely to many characters attributes which affect their spells, range, attack and defense. The system is somewhat similar to the junctioning of Guardian Forces in Final Fantasy VIII. | ||

In NightStone you get the chance to play a Barbarian, Sorceress and Amazon, joining forces to wade your way through a land plagued by evil to destroy the NightStone. A basic isometric role-playing game, each of your characters has a limited series of statistics and an overall 'level' that, obviously, increases as you play. Limited inventory slots exist for each character and, with only one location to sell and buy items present in the game, you will have to juggle your inventory carefully. The land you explore is split up into over 30 'sections', each of which is the basis for a single mission. Missions can be 'destroy all of monster type X', or 'find such-and-such an item' or even just make it through alive. Each of your champions start the game at different points of the landscape, so your first few missions will be spent just getting them together to join forces. Saves are not possible during a single mission - only once you have completed and returned to main land overview map. Multiplayer options are also available, and the game comes with a simple-to-use adventure and mission editor that will allow you to create your own quests for up to 8 friends to play. | ||

This is an online role-playing game (RPG) first release in 2000 for the Dreamcast. It was the first online RPG for game consoles; players adventure with up to three others over the internet to complete quests, collect items, and fight enemies in real-time action RPG combat. The story is unrelated to previous games in the Phantasy Star series. Before Phantasy Star Online, online gaming was limited to western PC games, particularly RPGs such as Diablo, Ultima Online, and EverQuest. As Japanese internet service providers charged for dial-up access per minute, and high-speed connections were not yet widely available, Okawa personally paid for free internet access bundled with Japanese Dreamcasts. The game was highly anticipated and launched to critical and commercial success; critics found the online gameplay addictive but panned the single-player mode. It received the Japan Game Award for "Game of the Year" and is recognized as a landmark console game, influencing multiplayer dungeon crawlers such as the Monster Hunter series. It was later ported to Windows only in Japan. Threatened by the imminent destruction of their home planet, thousands of refugees arrive at planet Ragol aboard the spaceship Pioneer 2. As they establish contact with colonists sent ahead on Pioneer 1, an enormous explosion shakes the planet. Adventurers from Pioneer 2 land to investigate the explosion and search for Rico Tyrell, daughter of the head of Pioneer 2. They discover the planet overrun by monsters, and follow messages left by Rico leading to an ancient evil, Dark Falz. It's primarily played with other players cooperatively over the internet. Players take on the role of adventurers sent to explore Ragol, an uncharted planet. To create their character, they choose between a handful of races and classes, which define their abilities and statistics; for example, some types are better with "techniques" (magic spells) while others are more skilled with ranged or melee weapons. Players can play either online or offline. Online, players are brought to a lobby where they can chat and organize teams of up to four. Team members can communicate by typing using a physical or onscreen keyboard, even when in different environments. Preset phrases are automatically translated between languages, and custom emoticons are also supported. Players can also exchange "guild cards" to exchange private messages and see when the other is online. After organizing a team, players are transported to their own instance of the hub spaceship Pioneer 2, where they can buy and sell items, store money and items, heal, and browse quests. At any time, they can transport to Ragol, where combat and exploration take place. The four environments – forests, caves, mines, or ruins– comprise winding passages and large areas where enemies spawn. Players fight enemies in real time, using weapons and techniques and collecting items. Attacks can be chained for more accuracy and speed. Typically, all the monsters in a room must be defeated to advance. Each environment ends in a boss battle, which rewards the team with a large sum of experience points. Quests, taken on Pioneer 2, task players with specific challenges; once completed, the team returns to Pioneer 2 to collect their reward. Higher difficulties reward players with more experience points and better items. Some items can be used to feed the player's mag, a small creature that follows the player character and aids them in battle. Up to 1,000 players could play per server. In 2008, game servers were shut down. However, fans replicated their own servers. | ||

| Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor | Stormfront Studios / Ubi Soft Entertainment Software | [top] | |

An homage to the DOS-based Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Gold Box game Pool of Radiance, this returns again to the worlds of the Forgotten Realms. Although the game begins in the city of Phlan, which was reclaimed in the previous game, the majority of the action takes place beneath Myth Drannor, once a beautiful city of peace, where men, elves, and dwarves could live in peace and harmony, which is now in ruins. Despite its visual similarity to contemporary games that utilized real-time combat (such as Baldur's Gate), the game features a strictly turn-based system, similar to those implemented in Gold Box games. Orisons and Cantrips, straight from the then new Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition rules, have been added. The game features new character classes and races such as Barbarians, Monks, Paladins, and Half-Orcs. Clerics and Sorcerers can cast over 100 spells. The Dungeon Master communicates all important findings and events throughout the game. It features a new story set in the campaign world of the Forgotten Realms. It seems that a newly found Pool of Radiance has become active, deep beneath the ruins of Myth Drannor, and it is having strange and unsettling effects on the good inhabitants of New Phlan. There will be no peace if the ancient dangers that the Pool represents are allowed to grow unchecked. It features an isometric view of 3D rendered characters in hand-designed, interactive environments. Players can create and control up to four characters in a six-character party and guide them through battles and encounters, raising their experience as high as level 16. It supports single player and multiplayer games, allowing up to six players to take their characters online and adventure together. | ||

There's now a cold war with the Quila Empire, which seems to never die. A terrorist group has obtained "great ash", which is something important, and wants to sell it to the Empire unless they get their demands met. The Alliance sends out 4 scantily clad women and an android to sort things out. This third Cosmic Soldier game is a bit weird-looking, and doesn't seem to have been too popular, with very little Japanese information on it. The gameplay doesn't seem to be too much like the first two games in the series. There's no recruitment, and only 5 characters. From what I can gander, it's a turn-based strategy game now. The story is some time after the second game; there's now a cold war with the Quila Empire, which seems to never die. A terrorist group has obtained "great ash", which is something important, and wants to sell it to the Empire unless they get their demands met. The Alliance sends out 4 scantily clad women and an android to sort things out. This game is hard to find, and likewise hard to comment on. The character design is unique, certainly, and each of the 5 characters stands out. The game is a turn-based strategy game like Fire Emblem now, but the space opera setting is pretty unique for the genre. This game deserves further attention if I can ever snag a copy, though I'm a bit worried because the game is classified as an "ero-game". | ||

A long time ago, the First Interstellar War, began with a surprise attack by the Imperial Army in 3530 AD due to the activities of the Psychic Soldier unit that belonged to the KGD Star Area Liberation League Army. In 3652 AD, 122 years later, the end was reached. After that, the two armies repeated some tensions, but entered the era of the long Cold War. And the history of the fierce battle has been weathered over a long period of time. It was about to disappear from people's memories... at that time. Located on the outskirts of the KGD star region, few spacecraft pass through. The asteroid belt asteroid was suddenly occupied by someone. From its appearance, the planet, which looks like an abandoned coal mine star, in fact, it was the top secret munitions base "Great Ash" of the KGD Star Area Liberation League Army. And it was very easy to occupy the base. Based in a group of developing planets on the outskirts of the star region, it was a terrorist group called "Slave Ants". Their request was made by the Major Three Planets Council, which effectively controls the KGD constellation. Reducing the burden of overly heavy support money on the developing planets in the remote areas, it was the liberalization of intra-star trade, which the council had virtually monopolized. If unacceptable, donate the Great Ash assets to the Empire and he stated that he would not refuse to leave or become independent from the alliance. The situation cannot be forgiven for the moment. The council has decided to carry out an operation to recapture the "Great Ash". The person chosen for this role was the elite psychic soldier that the Alliance Army intelligence department is proud of. It was a mixed team of androids and I put 5 psychic soldiers and 4 androids. The camouflaged spacecraft set out for "Great Ash." | ||

They're soon thrust into war against the Mutants, the very first inhabitants of the alien world the MARX have settled; naturally, this means more adventuring. Players can now fight alongside two other party companions, allowing for more complex battles and exploration. Characters can be of different Latencies (ranging from Hell to Heaven, MARX to Mutant) affecting their place in the story + role-playing options.

This is a traditional fantasy-RPG with an isometric view, similar to "Baldur's Gate". The setting is an imaginary land which has been ruined by wars and it is up to you to defeat the evil warrior Mithras, who strives to conquer the entire land. Only the fortress of Avalon resists to his evil intentions. The game is mainly story-driven, featuring many NPCs, and is based on a real-time combat. Originally, it was episodic computer game novel divided into six chapters, the first one available for free download, while the others were for sale in order to complete the story. The player is a young human male who just arrived on the scene at the culmination of a 12-year-long war. His skills and specialized capabilities will evolve throughout the game as the player decides, instead of being fixed by a "class" or "race" selection at the start of the game. Siege is a single-player game, with various Party members (as you advance to later game Chapters) who can be added and dropped from the Party throughout the game. The Player can "assume full control" of any Party member at will. | ||

This was a fan-made Fallout inspired RPG that combined a post-catastrophic environment with a "Manchurian Candidate" style theme of mind control and implanted devices, leaving the player character stranded in a wrecked bunker, troubled by strange transmissions and visions, for a retro-future sci-fi adventure. It has strong storytelling and a character development component. As a victim of secret military "mind-control" experiments, you battle oppression and evade the watchful eye of "tronic" operators to an uncertain freedom as a surface survivor. Static is set somewhere in a war-torn United States. The once thriving superpower, has now been devastated and brought to ruins from nuclear warfare. Deep underground, in a long forgotten secret military facility, survivors of this cataclysm now struggle against another, more omninous threat, the loss of their own free will. The Tech-Demo contains the first game level. The full game was never completed. | ||

This fourth entry in Taikō Risshiden series is the first entry in the series that allows players to freely choose one of around 600 characters to become their player character. Besides the traditional Samurai route, player characters can also become a Ninja or a merchant. Moreover, a card collection system is introduced by the game. In this work, skills, titles, and almost everything other than the hero card are expressed in the form of obtaining cards, and individual battles, field battles, and siege battles are also card battles (therefore, luck plays a role in card drawing) portions are large). In addition, almost all of the training and domestic affairs needed to improve skills and abilities have become mini-games, and the variety has increased significantly. Evaluations are now held at the beginning of odd-numbered months, but it is no longer possible to request a break from evaluations for reasons such as training. As for events, there are many historical events not related to the Oda family, such as events related to local daimyo and the Battle of Sekigahara and the Battle of Osaka. Other changes from the previous work include the existence of multiple scenarios set for each era, the addition of a large number of types of mini-games, the marriage with the innkeeper's daughter, and the "Age of Discovery Series", which is also a Koei work . There are additional elements such as trading elements in "Za " and visiting famous places. In addition, tutorial elements have been incorporated, you can register frequently visited places as shortcuts to make it easier to get around, and if you know someone's preferences when giving a gift, it will be displayed, making it more user-friendly. It has become a structure. Also, it is now possible to cross-cut military commanders again, which was not possible in the previous game, but in this game and V, only military commanders whose lifespans have expired can be stopped, and while they still have lifespans, they only get sick. Other than that, there are some elements that have been revived from before "II'' that have been changed in detail from before. The number of endings has also increased, with some main characters having their own endings, and special endings that occur when regions are unified or under special conditions. The regular ending also tells the story of the main character's life and the state of Japan after unification, depending on the play content up to that point. | ||

The game is set in the era a half a century from now in the year 2050. The generations have leapt in advances in medicine, in a large number of mechanical and human biochemical binding, prostheses can completely replace the function of the hand, foot, artificial organs, and the immune system is no longer limited, etc. The newest bio-mechanical, even using energy produced by the body to drive, completely breaks the barriers between mechanical and biological. This is the "bio-science and technology." More than half of the world's population is in Asia in the 21st century and has become the world's largest market. Europe, America and other countries, to compete in Asia's competitive potential, were forced to have formed an alliance and Union institutions elected as the center, developing a series of ultra-high-tech, in an attempt to dominate the global technology market. In contrast with a strong consortium of Asian countries, though they have the majority of the development of the hinterland, and all competitive, but under the influence of public sentiment and political factors, only wanted to compete for the production of short-term market, reluctant to provide funding in the foreseeable future academic, scientific and technological research and development on. Most visionary countries, emerging consortia, although would like to absorb technology in Europe, the United States alliance, because Europe, the United States closed the high-tech industry alliance deliberately futile. As a result, Asian economy will become of these countries, the consortium go to war with each other, even to the militaristic victim. Fortunately, this time the United Nations still has considerable influence, but also how to curb the outbreak of formal war between nations, but that conflicts of interest can not be fully coordinated between. In the limit allowed to use the regular force, but want to force the other yield, hiring "mercenaries" has become the most appropriate means, which is the protagonist of this game. The mercenary's life experience has always been a mystery, its origin is top secret. But the vast majority of the mercenaries, are "extreme" exclude the use of large weapons, such as tanks, helicopters, and hobby use and easy to carry, personal firearms. However, insufficient and often plagued by small arms power, so many mercenaries would not hesitate to use biometric technology, will own the various parts of the body "transform" a strong fighting force, which is the "transformation of soldiers" (CYBORG WARRIOR). Game system uses oblique 3D battlefield, different from the previous series of Yan Lung planar. Resolutions are 640 × 480, 800 × 600 two kinds. The musical part for the first time is by the newly established Chinese Church homemade music department and has "Pop" and "dance" flavor, mainly hoping to be more agreeable to the tastes of modern young players.

This is a kind of promotional RPG for World Ceramic Exposition (Republic of Korea, 2001). You play as a bowl-headed ceramic guy (Toya), whose goal is to become a ceramist expert and fulfill a Great Quest. In the game you should gather/buy various items including materials for pottery, natural chemicals and food. By making and selling vases and pots you improve your skills and collect money. There are also some turn-based combats involved, but it seems that you can just ignore them by refusing to fight. At the beginning, we are explained the basic mechanics like making ceramics and mining in a mine, after which we are free to go wherever we want. In fact, the gameplay is a very conditional potter's simulator: before making an urn or any other ceramic product, you first need to collect the material for making the clay itself (including giving it a particular color), after which you can start creating the shape and I will burn. The result of our work is put away for storage, after which it can be sold or used to open new, previously inaccessible places. However, the game is not completely peaceful: as soon as we leave a peaceful area, we find ourselves on the territory where you can also find resources for making clay, but at the same time skirmishes with enemies occur, arising randomly. The battles take place step by step with a third-person view, and the means of attack are the most common, without magic. The loss, however, is not so terrible - in this case, there is a return to home and even the collected materials remain. There is a role-playing system, but the most basic one - through victories in battles, the health reserve and impact power increase. In general, the picture is as follows: collecting resources, looking for new recipes for making more complex ceramics, from time to time fighting with creatures (nothing special - wolves, tigers and similar animals). The graphics in the perspective view of the top are done in a pre-rendered style at a good level and generally create a fabulous atmosphere, and the clay styling and cute sounding music emphasize this even more. | ||

This is a direct sequel to Crusaders of the Dark Savant, the previous installment of the Wizardry series. All hell breaks loose as The Dark Savant takes flight with a device called the Astral Dominae, an incredibly powerful artifact containing the secret of life itself. Following him are two powerful races, the T'Rang and the Umpani, as well as the player's own brave party of adventurers. Everyone is heading to Dominus, a world on the cusp of the Cosmic Circle, birthplace of the Astral Dominae and home of the Cosmic Lords. Many paths will converge on Dominus, and many long-hidden secrets will be revealed. The basic gameplay system is similar to the previous entries in the series: the player-controlled party of up to six characters roams the world viewed from a first-person perspective, completes quests and fights enemies to gain experience and become stronger. Leveling, magic and skill system are also handled similarly to the predecessors. Unlike those, however, this has a real 3D environment, where enemies visibly approach the party (rather than appearing randomly). The party is also able to move during combat, sometimes using terrain to its advantage. Character formation plays a role, the player being able to use tactical setups for the party in order to be better prepared for upcoming fights. Though still turn-based, the battles are more flowing than in the earlier games, since the characters act depending on their personal statistics rather than being confined by rounds. The eleven races from the two previous games return, encompassing traditional fantasy RPG representatives such as elves and dwarves, as well as the more exotic rawulfs, felpurrs and mooks. A new character class, the Gadgeteer, has been added to the other fourteen imported from the previous games. The player can customize the statistics of these characters as he sees fit during the party creation phase. It is also possible to add personality traits to each of the characters. These do not affect the gameplay, but provide commentaries from the party members during conversations with the NPCs. Similarly to its predecessor, this has several beginnings depending whether the player has imported a party from Crusaders of the Dark Savant or not, and which faction that party was allied with in the previous game. The game also has three different endings, which are achieved by making choices before the final confrontation. | ||

This is the storyline sequel to Xenoage, released a year earlier. Unlike the first part, the second was not published in Japan in a pornographic edition, although externally and internally it differs little from its predecessor. Moreover, it is a remake of an even earlier game from the same developer, released in 1999 - Messiah: The Road of Conviction. It's an SRPG that includes features of both strategy and role-playing games, but only Asian. The path to victory itself consists of sequential passage of battles, between which (and sometimes during which) there are plot dialogues. For each mission, tasks are issued, but absolutely all of them boil down to a battle with opponents, and there are two options for winning: the defeat of a specific enemy or in general all, which depends on the specific battle. But the condition of defeat is always the same - the loss of every single one of their characters. But heroes controlled by the player and their opponents are not the only participants in the battles. In some missions, computer-controlled allies will act on your side, which greatly diversifies the tactics of the battle. For example, consider the very first battle in the village. To do this, you need to start the game: select the first menu item (the second is to load the save, the third is to repeat the introductory video, the fourth is to exit) and one of four difficulty levels (arranged in increasing order from left to right). The player controls three heroes. The map also contains enemy soldiers, several armed village guards, civilians, and an elder. After the end of unsuccessful negotiations, the battle begins. Each group will perform its functions: opponents - to attack, guards - to defend, civilians - to flee, headman - to heal. From time to time in the process of passing missions with a different combination of such behavior patterns of computer-controlled characters will come across, but in the first battle all of them are presented at once, with the exception of bosses, | ||

This classic doujn title is an arcade platformer based upon SEGA classic Flicky and AIR visual novel. There are three characters to choose from: Misuzu Kamio, Kano Kirishima and Minagi Tohno. Each character utilizes different abilities and it provides unique playthrough. Misuzu and Kano seem to be more “light”, while Minagi has more force and momentum when moving. Airfli covers so many details from its visual novel. For example: Kano collects potato as her pet dog, Michiru collects her friend Michiru and Misuzu collects crow. Airfli has 50 stages in Story mode and three different levels to choose from in Score Attack Mode. The gameplay is identical to Flicky in which player must collect all the pets, saving them from enemies and bring them to safety at the exit. Each captured pets follow player in a trail, so the more pets you have the longer the trail is behind you. If any enemy touch the pets, they will run away and forcing you to backtrack in order to pick them up. If enemy touches your character you lose a life and have to restart the level. Enemies move predictably, and since the character can get cornered by multiple enemies, it’s important to learn how each enemy type moves. Fortunately, coffee cups are scattered throughout the level and collecting one lets player launch an attack. Various power-ups are spawn randomly that will allow player to complete a level with more ease. Killing an enemy only gives player short time to breathe, since the enemies respawn quickly, however. Every 10th level is a boss battle and they must be defeated before the exit opens. Airfli also consists of a bonus round every at 5th level (5, 15, 25, 35, etc). The bonus rounds have adapted almost similar from the original Flicky where player must collect falling birds fired from a cannon. If the player manages to collect every bird a huge amount of bonus points can be obtained. | ||

Climb to the top of each building avoiding obstacles such as falling flower pots, barbells, and bird poop. Avoid King Kong's punch as well. At the top, grab the helicopter. Moving is not intuitive until you get used to it. One joystick controls your left arm and the other controls your right arm. You generally move one arm up to grab the next windowsill, then down to bend your elbows again. You can get into rythms in which you can move very quickly using left and right, but many players find it easier to use only one arm for all the climbing. You can move both joysticks to the left or right at the same time if you are in a stable position such as both arms bent. Avoid closing windows. The second building is much more difficult than the first because the stuff drops must faster. | ||

Power-ups include hidden worms that Haerong can throw at enemies, and well as a scooter, which functions like Wonder Boy's skateboard. Haerong can also become temporarily invincible by turning into a muscular adult version of himself. A two-player splitscreen mode is available as well. | ||

This is an unofficial PC remake of The Fairyland Story, originally a Japanese arcade game in 1985 by Taito. It puts the player in control of Ptolemy the witch, who must make her way through 101 single-screen rounds and defeat the evil purple dragon Dracolisk to retrieve the holy diamond and return peace to the land. Ptolemy's main weapon is her magic attack, which turns enemies into cakes for a short while, then the enemies can be either destroyed by further magic attacks or by being dropped off a platform, possibly squashing other enemies below. When being dropped from somewhere (either you or somebody else may push it or it may fall down by itself), the bewitched enemy expires. You can use your enemies as footholds for moving around the playing field. Several special items randomly emerge on screen during the game. If you take them with you, they will help you to win. On some levels, the characters can be instantaneously moved by teleports. Be careful, in one of the teleports there is a hiding place of the worm that can grab and trap both you and your enemies. The aim of the game is to defeat the Red Dragon who stole The Holy Gem. The Red Dragon occupies the 100th level. Your journey will not be an easy one. On each level, enemies of all sorts will try to stop you. | ||

This is a budget South Korean platformer, which turns out to be surprisingly interesting due to the unusual gameplay. We play as a bipedal hamster looking for his girlfriend, and for this purpose we go through levels filled with enemies and dangers (a total of ten pieces). The perspective is a side view. To pass the stage, you need to get to the board nailed to the column with an arrow (we find ourselves near the same one at its start) - then the transition will automatically happen. The hamster has three “lives” (for the whole game), as well as a seemingly “decent” health reserve within each of them, displayed in the lower right corner of the screen as a red decreasing scale. The hero can jump (the "upper" cursor arrow), as well as throw some yellow balls ("space") at the enemies, whose supply is infinite; it should be noted that these “charges” fly along a peculiar trajectory and over a very short distance. There are a lot of bonuses represented by a variety of food products (watermelon slices, cheese slices, packets of milk, different fruits, etc.) but they all only increase our score - alas, it seems that it is impossible to be treated here; however, when moving to the next stage, health is always automatically replenished to the maximum. Platforms are present in large numbers, however, there are almost no "unpleasant" types among them, except for small elements. At the same time, so-called “blind” jumps are very common when we do not see the points mentioned above and must rely on luck. In the event of death, the hero is reborn at the beginning of the level, and no achievements are saved. when moving to the next stage, health is always automatically replenished to the maximum. There are three types of opponents at each stage: on the first, for example, phlegmatic bald dogs (just like that) like beagles, large caterpillars and jumping hammers with eyes (these creations have a very high speed of movement), and on the second - big-eyed bombs with thin hands and legs, wearing fez (!), sad wise turtles (which it’s insanely sorry to kill) and crawling orange-eyed heads with huge mouths and without limbs. The total number of adversaries at any level is relatively small, and they themselves move along given small trajectories back and forth, are not capable of a remote attack, do not intentionally attack the protagonist (but if they accidentally make physical contact, they are naturally injured) and die after two well-aimed hits him; at the same time, passage is still not easy to call in the “combat” part, since enemies often "inhabit" individual platforms and ledges of small size, as a result of which it is necessary to jump onto such surface areas with caution, guessing for this a good moment. Of the dangers, there are thorns that are traditional for South Korean platformers (their number is quite high, and contact with them is not fatal, but fraught with injuries), and starting from the second level, spiked balls hanging in the air resembling mines appear: touching them does not lead to an explosion, but to a very severe injury (in this way you can easily lose a third or even half of your health). From a certain moment, the concentration of these “thorns” becomes very high, which, together with the “blind” jumps mentioned above, significantly complicates the passage (since often we simply don’t see that in the “abyss”. The uniqueness of this game is that any episode - always relatively large in size - has a rather complicated "architecture" with many "forks", and there is only one "correct" among these paths; the rest leads to dead ends, and sometimes (fortunately, not always) also in the figurative sense of the word: it’s quite possible to find yourself in a place from which you won’t be able to get out at all (!) outcome: the hero will come across enemies, bonuses and platforms, but at some point he will be, for example, on a small piece of “land” hanging over the abyss with spikes, and will not be able to jump from it anywhere. There’s only one way out - “trial and error method”, that is, the study of each stage and memorization of landmarks. Fortunately, if after using up all the “attempts” and automatically accessing the main menu, turn to the second item by clicking on the button with the serial number of the last stage that we reached, then it will load right away, and with three “lives” and full health of the character ; Thus, with some persistence, almost anyone can pass the game. | ||

This is a Windows compilation of 3 Japanese games made by Sunsoft: Atlantis no Nazo (1986, NES), Super Arabian (1983, Arcade), The Wing of Madoola (1986, NES). In Atlantis no Nazo, you play a nameless archaeologist who must descend into the dangerous caverns of the lost continent Atlantis, and eventually find his way to the inner sanctum with the legendary treasure. The game plays like a standard action-based platformer. The levels feature plenty of enemies and gaps you must jump over. Your only weapon are sticks of dynamite. When you throw a stick, it will bounce off the floor and explode only after a couple of seconds, so very precise aiming and timing are needed to defeat the enemies. Many levels contain optional treasure chests as well as hidden doors that lead to bonus levels. Sometimes level progression is non-linear, i.e. you can jump straight to a high-numbered zone if you find the correspondent door on the level. All the levels are timed. The protagonist dies when he falls into a pit, touches an enemy, or runs out of time. It was developed with the intention of surpassing the enormously popular Super Mario Bros. Super Arabian An action platformer styled as an Arabian Nights-flavored "storybook", which follows the trials of a brave Arabian prince as he attempts to infiltrate the palace and save a princess locked in the tower. To reach said damsel in distress, the prince must complete four "pages" (or levels) of the book: an ocean-bound ship, a maze of caves, the castle walls, and the tower, each infested with an assortment of mythical enemies, like flying Rocs and evil Genies. Besides walking, jumping and climbing, the prince can cling onto vines, duck and crawl through tight passages, and glide along on flying carpets. Last but not least is the mighty kick, which sends the baddies sprawling; if you kick multiple enemies in one go, you'll get a score bonus (in the arcade version) or temporary invicibility (NES). To complete a level, all the lettered jugs must be collected. A bonus is awarded if they're picked up in the right order to spell out the indicated word ("ARABIAN" in the arcade version, or a different word in each level on the NES). Once a princess is rescued, the next section begins, more difficult than the last. The Wing of Madoola The Kingdom of Badham was once the host of the legendary Wing of Madoola bird statue. Anyone who possessed the wing would be granted tremendous power. Many wars were caused by nations wanting to have control over this powerful artifact. Thankfully, a king of the Rameru family gained possession of the wing and ordered that it be hidden away in a cave so peace would finally reign between the warring nations, and peace did indeed reign, for a while at least. Hundreds of years later, a descendant of the king, named Darutos, stumbled upon the location of the wing and decided to use it for his own ends. He summoned demons to take over his family's castle to claim it as solely his own. The remaining Rameru family line now have formed an alliance to gain back the castle and put a stop to Darutos. They decided there only hope is a magic wielding warrior named Lucia. Players take control of Lucia throughout 16 side-scrolling stages. Her goal in each stage is to locate and beat a boss enemy and collect the crystal ball that's in its possession. The crystal ball is needed to unlock the exit of each stage. Throughout her journey, Lucia will come across various weapons, items and upgrades to help her on her quest. Some of these items include boots for increased speed and higher jumping ability, swords to increase her attack strength, potions to replenish health, scrolls to recover magic points, and even the Wing of Madoola, which will give Lucia the power to fly. | ||

Osama Bin Laden became more famous than any celebrity since the US terrorist attacks. Nowadays the United States and its allies are on the lookout for bin Laden and have a chance to catch him. Despite the persistent US attack and search operations in search of Bin Laden, he has been cleverly disguised. The US Intelligence Agency, which noticed this, is going to infiltrate a building that was planned to occupy a mixed comedy complex, but the whole building is already threatened with bombs installed. Now we are a hybrid combo that will cause Bin Laden to blow up the building. We must remove the Arab commando, remove the explosives, and catch Bin Laden hiding on the top of the building. This great task is in your hands. There are a total of 50 stages and the middle boss comes out every 10 stages. The game is designed to make it easy for users who have played Snow Bros and Vogel Vogels. The color of the screen is bright, and the main characters and Arabic command units are all cute. One stage consists of one layer of building, with Arabic commandos on each floor appearing to prevent our special combination and have two or three bombs and the key to dismantling them. If you eat the yellow key, you can dismantle the bomb painted in yellow. There is also an aquarium and an escalator, and you can move up or down quickly on the escalator. The gun that the protagonist has is a secret weapon called 'Ice Storm'. When the enemy is shot, the enemy gets trapped in the ice and throws the drop into the enemy. But unlike the Snow Brothers, it's not just about killing enemies, it's about removing the bombs that are installed on each floor. If you clear the floor, you have to climb up the elevator to another floor, and if you do not clear the time limit, our heroes will burst and die. As the stage rises, the number of units and the speed of artificial intelligence increase, so you must not stay in one place for a long time. You must continue to attract enemies, eat the bomb-removing key and remove the bomb. Certainly the unit's artificial intelligence, like Vogel Vogel, simply goes up and down the road, or better than the Snow Brothers, but you have to make good use of the items to get rid of this improved enemy unit effectively. A total of 4 items are available. The red potion makes the bubble come out bigger, the blue potion moves the main characters quickly, the yellow potion makes the bubble shoot farther away, and the pink potion can restore the physical strength. Because the protagonists are wearing a bulletproof vest, they will be defended up to 2 times, but they will die if they hit a third enemy. The game is made up entirely of easy interface, the characters are all cute and cute, and there are no violent guns or red bloodshed like other games these days. It is a game which can be enjoyed by simple key operation. | ||

The object of this puzzle game is to turn all squares on the board from lead to gold. You do this by placing rune symbols on squares of the board but they must go next to an already occupied space. They must also either be of the same shape or colour of any other symbols to the right/left and top/bottom of it. A grey stone acts as a wild card and can be placed anywhere and any symbol can be placed next to it. A skull has to be placed on an occupied square and will destroy anything on it. If one whole row or column of symbols is filled, all symbols on it will disappear. If there is nowhere to place a symbol, you can discard it into a forge. The molten level in the forge will rise with every discarded rune but will lower if another is placed on the board. However, if 4 consecutive are discarded then the game is over. There are three levels of difficulty, each with more different types and colors of runes. | ||

This is a Snake game much like any other Snake game. You control one of three selectable snakes as they slither about in a playfield filled with hazardous rocks and stumps, trying to eat enough fruit and mushrooms before time runs out. Once the snake is long enough, a key appears which can be picked up to reveal the exit. The biggest difference between AxySnake and all the others is its 3D perspective that allows you to view the game up close or from a distance. Unlike in other Snake games, in AxySnake the serpent can turn smoothly and move in any direction. Running into the snake's own tail reduces the snake's length, undoing your progress. Eating a rock, colliding with tree stumps or with walls stops the snake for a moment and reduces your score. You also have to avoid the bees and dragonflies that want to ruin your day by stealing your fruit and slowing you down. Moving into the borders of the playfield is dangerous, as it gives hidden monsters an opportunity to catch and devour the snake, costing the player a life. Running out of time causes a monster to come out of the playfield edge and kill your snake. | ||

The game controls are very simple; each player has a red, green and blue button, positioned left, centre and right respectively. Each minigame explains its controls before play commences. The content of the game is a mini game collection divided into 3 types: continuous hit type, quick push type, timing type. The format of the PC versions were as download sales on Konami Online, not packages. You could download the game as a trial version even before purchasing a license, and you could play additional games by purchasing a license for each work. Supported OS is Windows95 / 98 only, and they also correspond to the game pad. It also supports network functions, but there was no online competition or high score transmission, it was only used for license authentication. Additional games were added every week after distribution, and it was necessary to download and install external data separately. Both the Bishibashi Champ mini and mini2 have ended their service in less than a year, so it is no longer possible to download games or purchase licenses. Bishibashi Champ mini (April 1, 2001) ported some of the mini-games included in the arcade version of "Hyper-Visi Bash Champ". You can play only 4 games in the trial version, but you can play all 20 games by purchasing a license (300 yen). At least 3 batches of extra games were released during the few months the game was available. Bishibashi Champ mini2 (July 10, 2001) ported some of the mini-games included in the arcade versions of "Bisi Bashi Champ," "Super Bishi Bashi Champ," and "Step Champ." You can play only 3 games in the trial version, but you can play all 40 games by purchasing a license (500 yen). At least 6 extra packs were released in july/august 2001. | ||

The images of the main characters are apparently inspired by the cult (including for the mass culture of the Far East) Chinese novel of the end of the 16th century "Journey to the West" - but the plot itself is simply conditional: three brave warriors, a monkey (probably Sun Wukong?), a pig man and a conditional frog man, confront a huge demon freed from centuries of imprisonment and its henchmen. When Sun Wukong and his group returned from the west with the scriptures and everyone was enjoying a comfortable life in their hometown, something big happened in the heavenly palace. Well, the Vampire Peacock of the Yokai Nation opened a seal that should not be opened and sent all the evil yokai out of the world. In a short time, the palace became a scare, and the jade emperor sang again, fearing that the yokai would make a fuss in the human world. They were to catch all the evil yokai in the human world. These yokai have more evil and mysterious powers than any other yokai. Will son-in-ball's group be able to reseal the yokai and complete the mission? Son Gong, Sao Jeong, and The Three Hypochis characters and attacking abilities are different, increasing the number of medicine bottles and treasures that add points. Unique and diverse characters of yokai, such as the horned hellish baby monster on the head, the mushrooms that grow as big as the man, and the monster jar smashing the ball, add to the fun of the game. Friends and family can defeat the yokai on the other hand, and the simple maneuvers make it easy for the whole family to enjoy together. | ||

| Building Panic | Yamada No Ana Project | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Another excellent game from a freeware developer which is dedicated to producing games based around the same cast of characters, led by Doka-chan, a stubby construction worker and his friends. Like all other games from this group, the game is 100% English, boasts excellent music, offers 2-player hotseat mode, and allows you to change control keys from the Options screen. This is a unique combination of Othello board game and action. You control Yamada, a construction worker who is tasked with covering windows in a building with blue wallpaper. The building has 32 windows in total: 4 rows of 8 windows each. There are competing construction workers who roam the building, covering windows with orange wallpaper. Once all the windows have been covered, you will "win" the level and go to the next one if you manage to cover more windows than the other guys (i.e. there are more windows with blue wallpaper than with orange one). The similarity with Othello board game lies in the fact that you can "convert" orange-covered windows into blue ones (your color) by surrounding them with 2 blue-covered windows: one on each end of the orange-covered windows. As in the board game, you can do this from any direction: horizontal, vertical, and diagonal. Of course, your opponents will be doing the same thing, so it's imperative that you are faster than they are, and plan your moves strategically. The action element in the game is no less fun. You will lose health (number of hearts at the top of the screen) if you run into any other construction worker. You can get rid of these guys either by shooting them horizontally, or bump your head at the ceiling (to shake these guys) when they are standing directly above you. There are many power-ups you can use, ranging from hammers (make your shots more powerful), boots (make you faster), gloves (allow you to cover each window with one move - normally you can only cover 1/3 of the window at a time), and many more. Needless to say, higher levels include more opponents (who are also more difficult to kill) and up the ante in different ways (for example, a level may start with half of the windows already covered in orange). The combination of strategy, action, and puzzle elements is very well-concocted. You will constantly have to be on your toes, plan your moves, and adjust your tactic according to what the other guys do. The only game by Ryuuto Yamada so far to have been published as a boxed shareware title in Japan, it's an addictive, original, and well-designed game that will keep you occupied for hours on end, whether or not you're a fan of reflex-based puzzle games, Othello the board game, or just action games in general. | ||

Another edition of the best chess program in the world today. In 2001, the program from this line won the international chess program championship in Spain. Deep Fritz 7 is a stronger version of the Fritz 7 chess program for multiprocessor computers (up to eight processors). Fritz 7, as a poorer version, allows you to play only on single-processor machines. In addition, Deep Fritz 7 has a much larger (and, incidentally, constantly updated) database of chess moves than Fritz 7 and is equipped with much more advanced procedures and algorithms. Although the authors focus primarily on the development of the kernel and the database of movements, they also do not forget about such a necessary thing as an intuitive user interface and aesthetic graphics. Both versions of Deep Fritz 7 and Fritz 7 also allow you to play live opponents on the manufacturer's chess servers. | ||

The game screen consists of two parts. On the left is the crossword and to the right is the word box where the available words can be found. The words become available as the player plays the various word games. For each word game completed the player is awarded with a new word. In some multiple words are created but player can choose only one of them to use in the crossword. The word games that exist in the game are: lingo, word tetris, rebus, picture riddle and scramble. The aim of the game is to score as many points as possible by filling as much of the crossword as possible. Points can also be earned by doing well in the word games. As the crossword gets filled the player can get access to various word helpers. For example it's possible to place an arrow key that allows the player to angle a word. It's also possible to add pictures and extra letters. There are seven different topic categories: science, culture and media, history and society, sports, animals and nature, entertainment and geography. Two different game modes exist: Kriss which is a short round where one crossword is played with mixed topics and Kross which is a large game where the player has to play through seven crosswords each with its own topic. | ||

This is an action puzzle game whose idea is to roll playing pieces shaped like rectangular parallelepipeds toward a goal. Each player moves about the gameboard by rolling parallelepipeds in a 1:2:3 ratio. You win a level by getting your playing piece to fit exactly into the goal. Surprisingly simple rules and play make it easy for anyone to start playing quickly. And it's not easy to make the playing pieces go where you want them to, because of the varying ratios of their sides. These features combine to offer a game that is both easy to play, and yet does not seem like any other game. Furthermore, you can also add pitfalls, bombs, and other hazards. There are also items, time limits, and other elements that can affect the course of play. Two players can either play with or against one another, and the game also works as a simple puzzle-solving exercise too. Players avoid obstacles and pick up items as they head for the goal. | ||

The Mascots are character animations that go on about their own business on your desktop. You supposedly can interact with them by clicking on them. Taking up the entire screen space, the calendar allows you to somehow interact with Parappa, maybe as a guide or secretary. Screensavers are animations that play on ones PC monitor when it is not used. Back in the day the purpose was to save a monitor from not leaving a mark of still picture but nowadays it is used as an accessory. The animations available: The scene (simplified) from Stage 3: BIG, where Ma-san shrinks innocent passers-by; Clock depicting the main PTR2 cast + Anime cast, whom each represent an hour; Chop Chop Master Onion still images with fumes coming out from the top of his head; Danger Tick.

Unlike other games, where tables follow a common rectangular playfield, in Pinball 3 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. | ||

The first four are a collection of games from Pin-Ball Games Limited (circa 1998) and include: Judge Dredd - The British comic book, not the insipid American movie; The Avengers - The British TV series, not the comic book or the insipid American movie; Roswell - Just some aliens, not the American TV series; World League Pinball - Football the way the world plays it, not the World League of American Football (now known as NFL Europe). The remaining six are games Redoubt licensed from SpiderSoft that were previously released as Pinball Mania Plus (as well as in other pinball compilations). Although some of these tables were later upgraded to full 3D in Total Pinball 3D (aka Pinball 3D-VCR), these are the original 2D versions: Dare Devil - A stunt show themed game; Jackpot - A gambling and gaming pinball table; Jail Break - Prison themed pinball; Tarantula - SpiderSoft's signature game; Kick Off - Another footy game; The Visitors - Two FBI agents investigating UFOs. Platinum Pinball itself exists almost exclusively as a product inside of other compilation packages published by Encore Software. | ||

A PC ported version of the falling object puzzle game originally on Playstation in 1998. This branch from the famous Japanese series of "educational simulators" Princess Maker, is implemented in the form of the popular East Asian digital puzzle "puyo-puyo", which is a kind of hybrid of Tetris and Columns. There are three modes. In the first - “plot” - we can choose one of the three princesses (Maria, Olivia or Lisa), after which we must watch the plot clips (in the form of drawn voiced scenes performed in anime style) and then fight sequentially (more precisely, compete in puyo puyo) with various other characters; at the same time, the development of the "plot" when playing for each of the princesses is somewhat different. The second mode is the "arcade", where it is allowed to take any of the characters in the game as a protagonist (including, which insanely pleases, there are anthropomorphic mole and cat, appearing as opponents in the "plot") - and fight against other heroes defined computer (fights last one round; if you win - we pick up the next opponent, if you lose, they give you the opportunity to replay against the same). Finally, the last option is “VS”, which is almost the same as the previous one, but in it, in case of victory, you return to the submenu, where you can take on a new protagonist if you wish. The rules generally comply with the general principles of puyo-puo, but they also have some features. So, the local blocks (which, of course, can be rotated) consist of three balls and can have the form of both strips and right angles; if one of their elements, when the latter contacts the others already in the “glass,” turns out to be without a fulcrum, then it falls down - this also corresponds to the classic version of this puzzle. To destroy the balls, it is necessary that at least four (and not three, as in most varieties of this game) such objects - or, naturally, a greater number of them - of the same color, coincide horizontally or vertically with each other in any combination (that is, all kinds of " corners "," t-shaped structures "and the like are quite recognized), but not diagonally. Of course their elimination causes the fall of other elements, which may cause new "chain reactions". Moving the blocks to the left and right during their flight is carried out with the keys "F" and "H", and "Z" is responsible for their rotation. If simultaneously two or more “sequences” of different colors are destroyed one after another, then after a few seconds the opponent’s “glass” contains a certain number of big-eyed transparent balls that are destroyed if they subsequently come into contact with a “chain” of four or more same-color elements ; their appearance in their half of the field can be really prevented if, in the mentioned seconds, during which they are preparing for the fall (this is visually displayed as a blue or red strip of one or another length above the “glass”), they have time to destroy at least two " sequences of "balls of various colors. The above circumstance introduces a certain strategic element: an opponent can build tricky constructions for a rather long time, filling almost the entire half of the screen (provided, of course, that you are not doing the same thing, but quietly and calmly destroying your “chains” one at a time), and then suddenly throwing balls at you instantly, realizing your cunning plan. It should be noted here that, as in the classical Puyo-Puyo, but unlike Tetris, you can continue to fight until there is at least a piece of free space in the glass. Graphics, let’s say, is nothing special, but overall it looks quite decent. Portraits of rival characters are displayed on the backgrounds behind their half of the field and periodically make different sounds and react to what is happening through mimic effects, and each of them has a separate animation of victory, defeat and “surrender” (shown when you lose) decide not to try to defeat the opponent again); all this is realized, however, in a deliberately explicit anime style (and at least one of the heroines - albeit not the main ones - is dressed very frivolously), and therefore sometimes causes genuine disgust, but if you concentrate on the gameplay, you can not notice such trifles (plus no one forbids playing for the mole against the cat or vice versa - then everything will be great in general) By the way, the level of complexity here - especially in the "story campaign" mode - is quite high, so you have to act quickly and prudently. | ||

This is a top-down strategical puzzle game with a pirate theme, set on an ocean board of 11x11 squares. Players control a white galleon and need to eliminate all pirate ships to complete a level. For each turn the ship can move in any of the eight squares surrounding the ship, unless blocked by an obstacle. Pirate ships have the same movement options and an identical speed of one square per turn. It is also possible not to move and fire the two broadside cannons to the left and the right of the ship instead, with a maximum reach of three squares. Since the player's galleon is always outnumbered, the pirates can be tricked to move inside the line of fire. Black ships also blindly track the player's movement, meaning they can be lured to collide with island reefs or ship wrecks. Red ships are smarter and avoid obvious obstacles by moving around them. As a last resort the player's ship can also move into a whirlpool, which teleports the ship to a random location on the map. Players get points for each ship taken down and later levels introduce new opponents such as sea monsters. The player start with three lives. There are three main difficulty levels and a high score list. | ||

This is a real-time puzzle game similar to its predecessors in the Bust-A-Move series. It adds a new multiplayer mode and features graphical enhancements. The aim of the game, as with the previous titles in the series, is to remove a collected number of coloured bubbles from the game screen. To do so, at the bottom of the screen, you aim and fire the coloured bubbles from a launcher, sending the bubbles upwards into the container. Match three or more together of the same colour to clear them from the screen. If you're too slow, the collection of bubbles moves down the screen towards you, and the game will end if it reaches the bottom. Classic mode features a number of bubble puzzles previously seen in the Bust-A-Move series, while Normal mode has some new variations on the bubble removing theme. Two players can also compete against each other. | ||

Your job is it to remove blocks of the same color from the playfield as fast as possible. When you start a level, you are presented with a 12x15 big playfield (width by height), where only the bottom line is filled with colored blocks. However, new lines are forming below the bottom, when the new line is complete, it will replace the bottom line, and the bottom line will move one line up. As soon as a new line drops in while the top line is at the top position, you have lost. To counter this, simply click on any block in the playfield. If it has no or only one same colored adjacent block, nothing happens. However, if it has at least two same colored adjacent blocks, all three (or more) blocks will vanish, and all blocks on top of this now empty space are falling down, filling the gap. At the beginning of a level, you have plenty of time, but the line completion will increase to an insane speed, so you don't have time to think about with group is more worth removal (the more blocks you remove at once, the higher you score). From level to level, the amount of new lines will increase. At level one it's just 25 lines, some levels later you have to deal with hundreds of lines. To help you on your task, the game offers different bombs, which will blast some blocks away. The normal black bomb will destroy all blocks in a certain radius, while colored bombs destroying all same colored blocks in the playfield. For beating the highscore, you have to completely clear the bonus levels. The problem here is, that all blocks must vanish, if one is still in the playfield, you miss the bonus score. So, think carefully. But on the other side, you only have 15 seconds. | ||
