Fire in the port? The question is actually unnecessary, because it definitely burned in Plautzen's fish camp, where Janny, the heroine of this adventure, took a vacation job to earn a little money. Strange, because who is lighting a camp full of fish? Janny starts her investigation and at first everything seems to indicate that a brokerage firm that wants to buy Plautzen's fish store has set the store on fire to force it to sell. But the first appearance is deceptive, as is so often the case, and before Janny realizes it, she is on the track of a complicated crime case in which almost every port dweller seems to be involved in his own way. What about the basement in Lore Beins tattoo shop? Why suddenly do guests no longer get the food in Sue Li Bais Asian snack? And who is the mysterious, bull-nosed candy cracker? Immigrant Sue Li Bai and the somewhat conceited journalist Thomas Schneider help Janny with her research. This is an exciting adventure game for teenagers and adults from the age of twelve. The atmospheric 3-D interiors contribute a lot to the fascinating atmosphere of the game, and the characters not only appear three-dimensionally in graphic terms, but are also absolutely psychologically credible. The navigation, the administration of the inventory and the dialog control are controlled by the so-called Braintool, a handy solution to always keep an overview of the game status. The integration of all sorts of knowledge that can be practically acquired while playing is also a success. For example, you have to learn to use Cyrillic letters or Morse code to solve certain puzzles, or you have to deal with plant science. The didactic parts of the game are never instructional, but are always meaningfully integrated into the game action. Overall, the game was very successful and worthy of the previous Klett learning adventure series. Features: Convincing, atmospheric 3-D graphics; Very good soundtrack and professional speaker; The learning content, which mainly deals with practical everyday knowledge, is unobtrusively integrated into the adventure story. | ||

This 1st person, point and click adventure game looks and feels very much like Myst and Riven. Richard, an avid chemistry buff, unwittingly finds the portal to the strange city of Chemicus and steps in. Strangers in white hoods capture him, lock him up inside the city, and accuse him of trespassing and stealing "transmission molecules" that protect their valuable energy source. You play Richard's friend who goes to the city to rescue him. The 3D world has many varied locations to explore, many inventory objects to find and use, and problems and puzzles to solve. The puzzles are all based on fundamental Chemistry, help for which can be found in documents found while exploring as well as the in-game science database. The game's educational value has been given high acclaim by science teachers, students and adventure gamers alike. | ||

| Cubert Badbone, P.I. | Squinky / Deirdra Kiai Productions | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a fun freeware point-and-click adventure game developed using Tim Furnish' SLUDGE engine that more than makes up for its short length with spot-on Noir-ish humor and style. The charming plot goes as follows: you play Cubert Badbone, the only private investigator on Ekrat Island, an island floating in space somewhat near Earth. Ekrat is a popular vacation spot for humans who visit from Earth, until one day they inexplicably start to disappear. This is bad for Ekrat's economy, as human tourists are a crucial source of income. It's up to you, then, to find out how and why the humans have disappeared from the island. The game's most obvious strength is the eye-catching and uniquely appealing graphics, which looks like a cross between black & white Noir films and zany claymation of The Neverhood. It does take a while to get used to the ornate, flowery font, though. The game has plenty of funny dialogues with memorable NPCs, although the puzzles are straightforward and a bit on the easy side. Overall, if you enjoy short but entertaining adventure games that focuses more on presenting a good story and imaginative cast of characters than stumping you with tough puzzles, it's well worth the 4-5 hours it takes to complete it (including some minor pixel-hunting headaches). | ||

| Dark Fall: The Journal | XXv Productions / The Adventure Company | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Dark Fall is also one of the very few games billed as "horror" titles that manage to be really scary. Essentially a one-man, self-published independent game, Dark Fall has achieved what many commercial titles have failed, and its superb quality defies anyone who thinks that it takes a million-dollar budget to create an atmospheric adventure game. Returning from work you are met by a frantic and cryptic message from your brother, a talented architect developing the old station at Dowerton, in Dorset. April Fool's Day had been and gone, so you decide that something is up. Boarding a train at London's Paddington Station you travel to the old station alone, wondering what adventure may greet you. But while the plot is somewhat predictable, the beauty lies in the masterful execution and astonishingly effective atmosphere. The graphics are appropriately dark, and various sound effects are put to good use. You will be startled more than once while playing this game, and playing it at night is a genuinely creepy experience. The gameplay is similar to Myst, but with a more "traditional" emphasis on inventory-related puzzles. You navigate the gameworld - in this case, the train station and hotel environs - from a first-person perspective. Along the way, you will come across strange symbols that are reminiscent of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. These symbols together form the "meta puzzle" in the game: the core puzzle, similar to the sun map in Fool's Errand, that you won't be able to solve until the very end. It is the unravelling of the plot - and the ghosts' identities - that will keep you glued to the screen. The depth of the gameworld is remarkable, and many puzzles imaginative. If you like adventure games, you simply can't pass up on Dark Fall. It is engaging, atmospheric, and much more fun than countless commercial games. In 2009 a revamped Classic Edition of the game was released which adds support for Windows XP and Vista, new sound effects and other technical adjustments. | ||

The Visitors involves a murder in a secluded hotel. In this unusual flash adventure, you have to work your way through poetic texts and stylized images to investigate the matter. The room seems empty and lost. Without the pouring rain I would probably hear the echo of my own footsteps. Time is endless in this room. It's cold, much colder than anywhere else in the house - there is no radiator. Yesterday evening ... Marge, and myself Albin Rellik.. Oh man, we drank! Talk, laughter, trivia, faces were hot. Was not there a noise below the ground floor? A perfidious plan ... but why ... carbon monoxide. All Around. I'm suffocating, I ... I feel someone watching me! Outside, the rain soaked a beautiful morning. Through the large windows the sun is shining on a new beginning. Around me it is quiet, the storm has ceased but the shouts of Albin, the image is only black, then: noise. The built-in puzzles are not available for their own sake, but represent only small intentional interference so that the player progresses not too quickly and gives the opportunity to reflect. An important feature is the fragmentary nature. Flashbacks are deja vu memories - experiences in the form of floating text passages in which rooms are built like scenes in a theater piece by piece, and sounds like the patter of rain against the window or distant steps generate a whole experience. The overall picture in the mind of the reader-listener-seer is eventually caused by the power of his imagination. He must unravel the story in retrospect itself, as we can arise in everyday life by receiving and processing a wide variety of information through the senses of our own memories. | ||

| DoomRL / Doom: The Roguelike | Kornel Kisielewicz | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
DoomRL (or Doom, the Roguelike) is a roguelike video game for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, whose setting is based on the first-person shooters Doom and Doom II. It was created by Kornel Kisielewicz using Free Pascal and SDL. DoomRL is turn-based, offers a top-down interface formed entirely of ASCII characters, and features a character leveling system with traits. As it is based upon Doom, the game is more fast-paced and combat-oriented than usual for a roguelike, and relies heavily on ranged rather than melee combat. A limited player inventory, non-stackable items, and other design choices contrast with the often extreme intricacy of games in its genre. As of 0.9.9.6, Derek Yu's graphical tileset is now the game's default, offering an alternative to the more traditional ASCII rendering. DoomRL includes the entire Doom soundset (although a significant subset of the sounds are not presently used) and music library, with optional support for high-quality MP3s. | ||

This action-adventure game is an entirely new, three dimensional version of the original classic game that appeared in 1983 on many platforms. Again, the player gets to play the goofy hero, but courageous knight, Dirk the Daring who is on a quest to save the pretty princess Daphne. The princess was kidnapped by the evil dragon Singe imprisoned in a medieval castle owned by an even more evil wizard called Mordroc. Now, it's only up to Dirk to use his courage and his quick reflexes to overcome the traps in the castle, if he wants to save the princess and his skin. In the Classic mode, you play the game the same way: press the button or push the joystick at the right moment to avoid a gruesome death. In Adventure mode, however, you control Dirk. You make him walk, jog, run, jump, roll, crouch, climb, pull switches, open doors, swing a sword, and just about all the other actions that you’d expect from a third person perspective action game. There’s also an Unfair mode, but it’s really, really, well...unfair. Not only are there the typical characters to fight, but any part of the castle could be fatal: floors crumble away, books and chairs attack you, poison gas seeps in, and so forth. Don Bluth and his partner Gary Goldman who animated the original game returned to assist the team, offering an original 2D opening animation sequence, a dozen new monsters (there are over 30 in the game), and access to the archive of Dragon’s Lair materials from the original game. There are 43 enormous areas containing over 250 rooms for players to explore, and there are plenty of hidden items to discover. In 2005, Dragon's Lair III DVD was released employing footage captured from Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair gameplay. It plays much like Dragon's Lair and subsequent Laserdisc games with simple movement/action options and without the free-roaming 3D environment. | ||

Nevertheless, inside the parcel are a map and a train ticket, which should come in handy if you manage to even find this town. Take a trip into the Old West, as you investigate a mystery while trying to stay alive yourself... and don’t forget to bring along your six-shooter! After taking the one train that goes anywhere near Dry Gulch, you finally arrive, and discover a run-down mining town with little in the way of amenities.

Commemorating the 20th anniversary of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, a trio of games by Ubi Soft was created to coincide with the re-release of the movie. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial: Phone Home Adventure is an "activity quest for eight and up" and unfolds through a series of 3D scenes inspired by events from the movie. Exploration and activity are part of the adventure, which features 12 games in which E.T. interacts with Elliot, Gertie, and Michael. Trailers from the movie are also available for viewing from the login screen. In an effort to "phone home," players control E.T. as he attempts to locate the items necessary to communicate with his home and rejoin his ship. Upon starting the game, the player's cursor becomes an E.T. finger, and besides serving as the control mechanism for E.T., the finger will illuminate when a response or an action can be initiated. When items such as candy, a coat hanger, or a key can be picked up and placed into E.T.'s backpack, the cursor finger becomes a grasping hand. An onscreen task bar stores the collected items until they are ready for use and also enables players to receive help from either Elliot or Gertie. Players are able to save their progress via the task bar, while allowing them to exit the game at any time. Scenes include Elliot's bedroom, Gertie's closet, the main floor, the attic of the children's home, and, of course, the moonlit bicycle ride. Players will make use of E.T.'s healing power to save flowers and use logic to solve puzzles in order to gain certain items. Once he has acquired what he needs to build his communicator, E.T. can contact his ship and return home. | ||

| Eye Of The Kraken | Absurdus | [top] | |

This point-and-click graphic adventure game is filled with original jokes and slapstick comedy. The original storyline begins aboard a sailing vessel in the high seas. A very important document must be delivered “post haste” to Hyade Island and you, Abdullah, have been selected as the envoy. But before you get very far on your journey, you are interrupted by the delivery of a letter containing an urgent message from your friend, Titien. Titien advises that the Eye of the Kraken has been stolen and that the thief is aboard the very ship on which you are travelling. He implores you to find it and see that the thief is apprehended. You, of course, comply with your friend’s requests and set about finding the culprit. The gameplay as a whole is non-linear, meaning that you can accomplish some things in any order. The puzzles in the game are mostly object or inventory based, and none have time limits. Some objects are nonsensical and are included to add to the comedy element. There are numerous animated characters who move about the ship, all of whom you must seek out and talk to. Dialog is presented on-screen in text form only as are descriptions of objects and locations. The colorful graphic backgrounds are rendered in 2D in an isometric perspective. Outside scenes change when day falls into night. You can choose the background music you wish to hear within the game itself. The game was released as freeware on May 15, 2005, to promote the upcoming release of Absurdus' adventure Carte Blanche. | ||

Whereas the popular arcade game was an action game, here you enter Firefly pond and join a magical adventure where an all-new Frogger searches for the princess of his dreams. In a lush 3D environment, Frogger explores dark caverns, goblin trails, swirling streams, perilous swamps and huge castles. During his adventures, Frogger interacts with over 80 unique characters that will help or hinder him in his quest to become a prince. He walks on two feet instead of hopping around on all four, shoots goobers out of his mouth, can glide after a jump by using his expanding throat, climb up and down vines located on walls. It's similar to Rayman 2 in many ways. Frogger also can use close-combat Frog-Fu and the ability to use these Magic Stones that are basically these different power-up skills. It has some irritating controls and camera movement, but the graphics are pretty good and colorful. Just about all of the characters that you encounter in the game have voices and there's quite a bit of speech. | ||

The biblical adventure game "Secret File Jesus" is the highlight of the electronic new publications of the German Bible Society for the Year of the Bible 2003. For the first time on this CD-ROM, the Jesus story can be experienced within an adventure game. The German Bible Society wants to give children and young people a modern approach to the Bible that arouses interest and is fun. The Danish and Dutch Bible Societies also issue versions. The region of Galilee around the year 30 AD forms the backdrop in realistic, detailed graphics, in which players follow in the footsteps of the itinerant preacher Jesus. In ten levels with a total playing time of over eight hours, you have to pass dangers, solve secrets and collect information. In the end, everything adds up to a large file in which the results of the investigation are recorded. It was developed with the "freie historiker büro" from Bergisch Gladbach. With this programme, the German Bible Society is introducing a new didactic concept for the playful mediation of biblical content. Pastors and religious educators can use it as an exciting medium for the Bible and the person of Jesus in school or confirmation lessons. But even on the home computer, the makers hope, computer freaks will become Bible fans while playing, because Bible is so simply fun. | ||

During World War II, Hitler's Third Reich sought out and pilfered art and wealth, hording their stolen booty in secret strongholds. This game takes place during that time. In 1942, special German forces have invaded Tibet and are searching for more to add to their Führer's arsenal - the 12 "miracle" weapons of King Arunja in an undiscovered "Lost City". One of these weapons, according to legend, could obliterate major cities, wiping them off the face of the earth. You take the part of Colonel Grom, a member of the Polish army fighting the Nazis during World War II. Grom is a seasoned and shrewd commander who has his own personal score to settle with the Germans. GROM is billed as a combination Action/Adventure/RPG. It is very much like a "point and click adventure", but it includes a good dose of real-time combat action. You will be selecting characters, moving them, setting their positions and managing their inventories. Travelling between the various locations is handled by way of a country map. Upon your travels you’ll meet many people — American and British soldiers, shopkeepers, merchants and, of course, some more hostile characters - The Nazis. | ||

Hank's Quest is a fun fanmade graphical adventure game based on Sierra's AGI interpreter, similar to Police Quest 1, King's Quest III, etc. Depicting a teenager's life (typically the designer's) seems to be a popular topic for amateur adventure games, and Hank's Quest is no exception. You play a geeky, lanky teenager named Hank who must organize a party in his house to please his mother, who's accused him of not being as sociable as his younger brother, Paul. On the plus side, the graphics in Hank's Quest is more detailed than most fanmade AGI games - almost on par with Sierra's adventures, in fact. There are many objects to interact with in each room, with many entertaining comebacks that are not default "you can't do that" response (when you try to take the garbage bin, for example, the game exclaims, "this is not Space Quest II!" Overall, though, the game's overly simplistic parser makes it less enjoyable than it should be. Worth a look if you like Sierra's parser-based games, but be prepared to paraphrase your sentences very often throughout the game so the stupid parser can understand ;) | ||

| Higurashi: When They Cry Hou / Higurashi no Naku Koro ni | 07th Expansion / Manga Gamer | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is a visual novel developed by 07th Expansion taking place during June 1983, at a fictional rural village called Hinamizawa, which has a population of approximately 2000. The main character, Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa and befriends his new classmates Rena Ryugu, Mion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, and Satoko Hojo. Keiichi joins their after-school club activities, which consist mostly of card and board games (and punishment games for the loser, usually him.) Hinamizawa appears to be a normal, peaceful, rural village to Keiichi. However, the tranquility abruptly ends after the annual Watanagashi Festival, a celebration to commemorate and give thanks to the local god, Oyashiro-sama. Keiichi learns that every year for the past four years, one person has been murdered and another has gone missing on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. Keiichi himself soon becomes drawn into the strange events surrounding the Watanagashi Festival and Oyashiro-sama. In each story arc, he or one of his friends become paranoid, and a crime is committed. Usually, the crime involves the murder of one of their own friends. While it seems impossible to tell their delusions apart from the mystery of Hinamizawa, slowly the truth is revealed. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (proper) is the first set of stories that were subsequently released after this. In 2015, a Steam Edition re-release on a new engine with updated art and a complete retranslation will be released in chapters as translations are complete. Ch.1 Onikakushi (May 15), Ch.2 Watanagashi (Nov 13), Ch.3 Tatarigoroshi (Jun 17/2016), Ch.4 Himatsubushi (Oct 14), Ch. 5 Meakashi (Apr 28/2017), Ch.6 Tsumihoroboshi (Jun 14/2018), Ch.7 Minagoroshi (July 18/2019). | ||

| King's Quest II: Romancing The Stones VGA Fan Remake | Tierra Entertainment / AGD Interactive | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is without a doubt one of the best fanmade adventure games ever made. It brings Sierra's classic to the new century by not only recreating the original game in VGA, but also adds plenty of new plots and puzzles that will delight longtime fans. Not content with simply upgrading the original King's Quest II to VGA graphics and a point-and-click interface the way they have done with King's Quest I VGA, Tierra has gone an extra mile and then some with King's Quest II. Roughly half the game is new: there are new areas, new puzzles, and new plot elements added mainly to flesh out existing characters and make the game world much richer. For example, there is now the Kolyma town center, which houses a library, in which you can read a book that describes the town's history. All the new characters and plot elements are integrated seamlessly with the original game. As a nice "icing on the cake," the game now represents a passage of time from day to night, with appropriate graphic change. The way Tierra enhances the plot deserves special mention, because the end result not only makes KQ2 a "deeper" game in terms of storyline, but also ties seemlessly to KQ3, the next game in the series. For example, the wicked witch in the cave is now a major character, with her own backstory that includes an interesting relationship with Manannan, the evil wizard who would later appear in KQ3. In this way, characters in KQ2 are no longer merely there as puzzle mechanisms, but are much "deeper" people with fascinating background and agenda. Tierra obviously paid a lot of attention to ensure that no puzzle or plot thread in the game would seem out of place. For example, a minister named Gervain who speaks at length to King Graham in the introduction scene is mentioned in the original King's Quest II manual. Talk about a labor of love :) In addition to fleshing out the plot, Tierra also enhances the puzzles in the original game in a similar way, to tie them closer to the plot and make them appear much less far-fetched and less shallow than in the original game. For example, obviously valuable items such as Neptune's trident no longer lie in the open, but must be discovered or earned. Instead of picking up a stake from the ground, you will pick up a piece of fallen fence that "looks like a stake." With plenty of fascinating plot elements, the right degree of faithfulness to the original game, and commercial-quality graphics, It is hard not to recommend this outstanding fanmade game that will set the standard for all fanmade sequels/remakes that follow. A must-have. | ||

| Largo Winch: Empire Under Threat | Dupuis / Ubisoft Entertainment | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

This adventure game is based on the famous comic book character of the same name. The hero - Largo was a Yugoslavian orphan, who was adopted by the world's wealthiest man, who was in search of an heir. When his adoptive father dies, the now 26-year-old Largo inherits the Winch Corporation, a financial consortium worth more than 10 billion dollars. Drawn to the challenge of presiding over such a vast empire, Largo takes over from his father, and plunges headfirst into a new, unexpectedly vicious world of murder and deceit. It's a surprisingly entertaining adventure game that touches on some topical issues. Sure there are a few plot holes that can be put down to its comic book origins but overall I had a lot of fun with it. As it has a story driven, movie style plot with puzzles that start off gently before progressively increasing in complexity it is especially suitable for those new to adventuring. Hopefully, it will even convince some action fans to seek out more adventure games. Experienced adventurers too may find much to challenge and delight as once the game gets underway there are lots of locations to explore and plenty of things to do to keep the story moving along. The 3D graphics are very good indeed and the voice acting is generally acceptable though the lip-synching is a little awry because the game can be played in German, Italian and Spanish as well as English. | ||

| Masq | AlterAction,Inc. | [top] | |

Masq is an interactive comic with typical soap opera elements such as love, betrayal and murder, and the portrayal of characters in a pulp fiction fashion. It consists of five seamless episodes, which can be finished in an hour, but depending on the choices different storylines and plot twists can be explored. Notable developer Noah Falstein, of LucasArts adventure game, is involved with the project as an advisor. The protagonist owns a fashion firm and is about to launch a new collection called MASQ. He is married to Susan, an elementary school teacher. Other major characters are Thelma, an employee married to your friend Carlos, Peter, designer of the new collection, Williams, the superintendent of Susan's school, and Rogers who works at the bank. An investment is needed to launch the collection and there are different options to consider; there is a loan request at the bank but Mr Williams is prepared to make an offer as well. At the beginning of the game, Carlos needs your help and at the same time, the sexy, yet familiar, Nikki starts to work at the office. As a work of interactive fiction, the game cannot be lost. Instead, there are different outcomes based on the player's actions, offering a high replayability factor. The gameplay is shown as a series of still and animated comic-style sequences and images. The game is entire in black and white, with scarce spots of colour and no sound at all. At certain moments, the player can choose one of the available options or responses at the bottom of the screen. Before starting the game, the player's reading speed is determined. Not taking an action or late actions are interpreted by the game as well. It can still be adjusted manually while playing. Players can engage in relationships with other characters, and explore both violent and non-violent ways to solve conflicts. The game starts with 15 lives. Every time episode 5 is entered, a life is used up and when out of lives, the game cannot longer be played from the account. Sudden endings before the start of the fifth episode do not influence the number of lives. An active internet connection used to be required to play the game. The game exchanged messages, surveys and ads, and gathered playing behaviour for future games. The game can also be played inside a browser. Due to the explicit content, such as swearing, nudity, sex and violence, players should be over 17 years. | ||

Children five and up can help Mike and his friends from Monsters Inc. find missing pieces to fix the Laugh Energy Filter 5000, a laugh machine which is needed for a big press conference. In this game from former Humongous Entertainment co-founders, kids search the factory for six major machine parts (Alloy Grunion, Poly-Modulator, Spindunkle, Turnavator, Hose, and Power Fripulation), and solve puzzles to restore the parts to the machine. Exploring the factory takes players to a variety of locations including the lobby, platform room, atrium, maintenance room, cafeteria, security booth, conference room, elevator, trash room, pipe room, tentacle room, contamination room, R&D lab, pressure control room, locker room, mailroom and more. During the adventure, players interact with characters from the film, including Delta, Boo, Fran, Smitty Needleman, Skip, and Wally. In addition to solving puzzles, kids are required to complete simple tasks like finishing Mike's paperwork, exploring every room in the factory to find joke cards, and maintaining a small inventory. Joke cards are used by Mike to match specific types of jokes, categorized by sports, animals, science, food, music, family, transportation, school, monsters and clown routines, with certain kids to make them laugh. Upon completion of the first puzzle, a blueprint becomes available that shows the missing machine parts as well as a list of items that have been found. After Mike rescues Boo early in the game, players gain access to the Cereal Slide mini-game where the goal is to become the first player to line up colored cereal pieces horizontally, vertically or diagonally in a row of three (3x3 grid) or four (5x5 or 7x7 grids). Hints and gameplay instructions are included in a printable and colorful electronic manual on the CD. | ||

Lost Island is an adventure in the spirit of the famous Monkey Island saga. Its hand-drawn graphics brings out the nostalgia of the good old times, when there was rum more precious than blood and honor meant more than life. Your adventure will take you gradually through more than a 100 different locations in the amazing world of the pirates. Lost Island will take your fantasy for a journey and it is certain that it won't come back unchanged. The story begins in the city shrouded into darkness and a pair of young people walking quietly through deserted streets. The lad was named Tim and his red-haired girlfriend Diana. They entered a darkened street where they encountered a group of strange people. Their clothing recalled of a masquerade ball but definitely, they didn't look like celebrating anything. They drew their weapons. Tim was also properly armed so a shoot-out began. One of the strangers hit Diana. Tim expected a flood of blood but nothing like that happened. She kept twinkling for a while and then she simply disappeared. Before he managed to recover himself he heard a shot and all of his memories blurred into a fuzzy grayish smudge. He woke up alone on an unknown island in a time totally different. | ||

The is an intriguing adventure of police strategy that starts when two small-time pimps chase a woman until cornered in an alley. Apparently they want to steal her purse, but something goes wrong ... Suddenly, one of the thieves falls dead to the ground, stabbed, and the other vanishes without a trace. The only person that police may interrogate is the woman claiming to be the victim of theft. Did the two attackers fight for the loot? Is it really a simple case? Was there someone else on the scene? And what about the paper figure of a wolf's head, found in the hand of the corpse? There are too many mysteries in the research, and, as we know, appearances can sometimes be deceiving. The only thing we can be sure of is that, if the murderer is not found quickly, new crimes will be commited in the city. The game alternates between FMV scenes and isometric view gameplay. | ||

Mortadelo y Filemón, the infamous secret agents of the TIA agency, must infiltrate the football world cup matches in order to stop the evil plans of the famous head of the mafia Vito Corvino. Four bombs strategically set in the stadium must be deactivated by our heros. However, during their adventure they'll find several characters who might put the success of the mission in danger: the corrupt president Vil y Vil, football star Vaguinho and the grumpy coach of the Spanish National team. The future of football is in your hands! This is another entry in the series of adventures based on the Spanish comic-book characters Mortadelo & Filemón. Again, the game takes advantage of the legacy of old adventures making use of 2D hand-drawn graphics and the classical point and click interface into a third person adventure game. The multiplayer function adds a unique feature to the game. This is a standalone game, but can be combined with its sequel Mamelucos a la Romana (a continuation of the story) to form a longer game named La Banda de Corvino. 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. | ||

| MusicVR Episode 1: Tres Lunas | Oldfield Interactive Ltd. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

Before explaining what Tres Lunas is, you need to know who Mike Oldfield is. He's an iconoclastic British composer and musician, best known for a composition which he released in 1973 called "Tubular Bells", a portion of which was used in the film "The Exorcist". Most would consider his style of music to be avant-garde or New Age. In 2002, Mike Oldfield decided to expand his artistic horizons and create a computer game that used his music as a foundation. He named the project MusicVR and Tres Lunas is the first instalment in this endeavour. Tres Lunas fuses Oldfield's music with surrealistic images to create a sort of dream world for the player to wander through. The player can find and collect up to seven golden rings, but this is not really the goal. The real goal is simply to explore and discover. While playing, the player will encounter various creatures, people and objects. Some are helpful and some are a hindrance but none are dangerous or malicious. | ||

You play Sherlock Holmes in first person perspective in this standard point-and-click adventure game. Lord Montcalfe, a well-known Egyptologist, is missing, believed by the police to have committed suicide. His daughter, Elisabeth, insists that he is still alive and calls upon her fiance's cousin, Sherlock Holmes, to prove her theories. Arriving at the manor, Holmes finds that Lord Montcalfe was suffering from a deep paranoia. It seems he had made a terrible mistake and triggered what he believed to be a mummy's curse. Trying to shield himself and others from that curse, he had booby trapped his own home with elaborate locks, some of which were designed to kill anyone who tried to tamper with them. Holmes investigates mostly in solitary fashion without the aid of his normal sidekick, Watson. Other people in the game appear only in the cut-scenes. Puzzles become more difficult as the story progesses. Find illusive inventory objects and read many documents for clues as you search the secret passages and elaborately decorated rooms of the Montcalfe Manor. | ||

| Ozzie And The Quantum Playwright | Dean Sullivan | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an extremely short amateur adventure game that unfortunately doesn't offer nearly as much gameplay as its high production value may suggest. The game's plot is quite interesting: thanks to a huge drop in ranking of your university, the dean has decided to shut down the theatre department to build a library for accounting majors in its place. Since your girlfriend in the game is a theatre major, you (named Ozzie in the game) have to do something to stop it to prevent her from transferring to another school. And what better way to convince the dean of the merits of theatre than to use the time machine to bring back the world's greatest playwright of all: William Shakespeare. The game's strong point is definitely the graphics and sounds. As you can see from the screenshot, the background graphics is almost the same caliber as commercial adventure games. Every scene is detailed and very, very well-drawn. On the other hand, character graphics could use some work. Ozzie and other characters look like 2D paper dolls, and very "squished" when they walk toward edges of the screen, and they don't 'shrink' or 'grow' consistently enough to maintain the illusion of depth. The game uses an elegant point-and-click interface similar to Full Throttle: right-clicking on any object or person on the screen brings up a small action menu where you can USE, LOOK, or TALK to the target. Your inventory is easily accessed by moving the mouse to the top of the screen (as an aside, the game was coded using AGAST adventure game creation program, which emulates LucasArts' engine quite closely). | ||

It's just a detective adventure story in the spirit of classic "old" quests with a great deal of humor.

In 2001, Pankrác, former cop and CIA agent, enjoys the well-deserved holiday accompanied by his beloved female agent. This blissful holiday is interrupted by a desperate phone call from Professor Santusov, one of the Russian scientists he met in his previous adventure. Santusov created a machine that suppresses certain parts in the brain needed to understand and learn languages. The professor is afraid that his superiors will use this device to suppress all languages except Russian and effectively prepare the whole planet for world domination under the Reds. Fortunately, his other invention is a time machine and Pankrác will use it to travel to times and areas like Communist Paris ten years later, prehistory or French Revolution. Polda 4 (Cop 4) is Czech point-and-click adventure. The characters are, for the first time in series, rendered in 3D. The inventory is yet again hidden on the top of the screen and reveals after the mouse approach it. The screens do not scroll this time, the more spacious locations are shown from more angles and the mouse pointer changes into a camera on a tripod when such situation arises.

This title is a mystery adventure with supernatural overtones looking to be directly inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraft. In the complex story, you play the role of Gus MacPherson, a former private investigator with New York's Pinkerton Detective Agency, who has left under shady circumstances to go to become an artist on the famous Left Bank in Paris in the 1920s. Suddenly a stunning young American woman named Sophia Blake comes by and wants you to investigate a murder that has just occurred at the swank Parisian Hotel Orphee - there has been a bloody decapitation of her sister's and brother-in-law, and it is completely unclear why. Everything is not what it seems, as you later find out that she is not telling the whole truth. Your skills as an artist are essential to solving the crime; the touch of clairvoyance that causes you to have visions and nightmares seems less crucial, but certainly adds to the mysterious and mystical atmosphere of the game. The French developers incorporate numerous surprising plot twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout this adventure. The story is spooky and visuals are atmospheric. | ||

This title is a Second World War stealth adventure. You are an American pilot, Captain Lewis Stone, who is thrown into a prison camp of the Nazis. While attempting to escape the camp, Captain Stone discovers about a secret weapon the Germans are developing to use against the Allies. Soon his personal wish of escape turns into a desire to save the world from the destruction the Nazis are planning. "Prisoner of War" could be best described as a sneaking game. Unlike other well-known games which feature the sneaking element - such as "Metal Gear Solid 2" or "Deus Ex" - is based on it entirely with no shooting elements. You are helpless in the prison camp and your only weapon is your wit. Sneak past guards to deliver an important object to a fellow prisoner, hide items in your clothes, stay in shadows to avoid being recognized - this is what the game is about. It also has a good deal of puzzle-solving, like in a traditional adventure. | ||

You will do this totally alone without interaction with any other characters. Many of the areas are closed to you at first and the way to open them is by solving a multitude of adventure-type puzzles. There are mechanically based puzzles involving levers and switches, but you will also find codes to decipher and strange symbols, maps, color patterns and switchboxes.

The Twilight of the Gods is the second installment continuing Richard Wagner's opera about the "Ring of the Nibelungen", based upon Scandanavian mythology by the brothers Grimm, and features his original classical music. You play the main character, Siegfried, who is called upon by Wotan, the king of the gods, to fulfill his destiny. In this segment, Siegfried will boldly challenge the gods of power themselves and ultimately cause the end of their reign.

In 18th century France, a young man in urgent need of money visits his aristocratic adoptive father's house, only to find the inhabitants mysteriously vanished. Fortunately, he is not without resources: he is a student of the "lavori d'Aracne", an interesting form of magic based on weaving links between similar objects, so that anything that happens to one happens to both. This is in many ways an old-school treasure hunt, full of locked doors and no NPC's, but with rich detail (you'll have to look very hard to find a noun that isn't implemented), an impressive degree of simulation (especially in the handling of liquids), and many puzzles with alternate solutions. A real joy to play, and the kind of game that you'll keep toying with after you've finished it. Some bugs (as of version 6, at least). It is possible to lock yourself out of victory without realizing it. | ||

| Scooby-Doo: Case File 1 The Glowing Bug Man | Riverdeep Interactive Learning Limited / The Learning Company | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
There's mystery and spookiness afoot in the Natural History Museum – exhibits and artifacts have been mixed up and damaged, a Glowing Bug Man has been glimpsed, and it's up to Scooby-Doo and his human friends to find out what's going on. This is the fourth Scooby-Doo game, and the first in the Case Files series, geared to children aged 5 – 10. Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred begin in the Museum’s main lobby. Action is performed with your mouse; when the cursor is a pointing finger you can move in that direction; when it is a grasping paw you can pick up or move objects, or click on an item for animations. At the bottom of your screen is the Mystery bus; if you click on it, it will separate into a box of Scooby Snacks for bribing Scooby and Shaggy when they're acting cowardly, a headphones icon for sound options, and a door icon for exiting the game. Your job is to collect clues by listening to tapes (conveniently left lying around!) and solving puzzles. As you solve each puzzle you receive an item that you place in files beneath pictures of five museum employees. With this method you are able to eliminate suspects one by one until you arrive at the guilty party. The puzzles include sliding and matching patterned tiles, completing sets of rock patterns, remembering which ice-cream machine buttons correspond to what flavors, and three more. Pattern recognition and logical thinking skills are stressed throughout the game, which can be difficult enough at its hardest level to appeal to older children as well. Also available on this disc are various Scooby-Doo printables, including posters, mazes and crossword puzzles. | ||

| Sellardore Tales | Topologika Software Ltd. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This game was first developed circa 1991 for the BBC Micro and Archimedes (with a separate version to take advantage of the extra memory offered by the MS128), published through Sherston. This remake is a medieval fantasy-themed educational text adventure that sets before its players the task of rescuing the community of Sellardore by removing an obstruction in The Black River that is causing the denizens nearby to languish and starve. Though the game takes input through a very simple text parser, the visuals and sound in this enhanced multimedia version (as well as clickable buttons for directions, game options and visual inventory access) downplay its fundamentally old-school interface. The game also has two difficulty modes, the easiest (and default) employing only those puzzles occurring in the original game, plus an advanced mode with additional puzzles getting in the way. In addition to various materials for classroom activities, the game is accompanied by a 56-page illustrated story book, "Zorin, the Curse of Sellardore", establishing the setting and premise of the game. (The storybook also appears on the CD-ROM as a "talking story" program.) | ||

In this PC port of a console adventure, a young man named Eike Kusch strolls through the quiet patriarchal German town Lebensbaum. Suddenly, a tremendous blow darkens the sight of his eyes, and the next thing he can see is a very strange room filled with bizarre objects, and a voice talking to him from nowhere. "Who are you?" - asks Eike - "Perhaps the Satan himself? And where am I? Am I dead?". "You are dead, indeed", - answers the mysterious voice. - "But you can prevent it. Destiny can be changed, you know". And with this, the voice disappears, leaving Eike in the strange room with a mysterious time-traveling device. Eike doesn't quite understand what's going on. He knows one thing: in order to survive, he has to change the past, to make it impossible for the murderer to kill him. And so, the battle for survival begins. The murderer will find many ways to kill Eike, and in order to prevent this, Eike will have to travel thirty years ago, to the beginning of the 20th century, and to the Middle Ages.

| Simon The Sorcerer 3D | Headfirst Productions / Vivendi Universal Games | [top] | |

|
|
One of the most anticipated and delayed adventure games in the history, Simon the Sorcerer makes his first 3D appearance here. The evil wizard Sordid is free again. Now he is selling a mind-changing cola and you must stop him, and this time, unlike in the first two games, also save the world. Many familiar characters from the two previous games are back, and so is Simon himself with his red cloak. The gameplay is based mainly on wacky puzzles, like the first two games, but there are some action sequences, less linearity in the plot, and Simon can die. Besides, some puzzles can only be solved in a 3D environment. The game is a direct sequel to "Simon the Sorcerer 2", and starts precisely where the second game ended: Simon is imprisoned in Sordid's body. | ||

This features characters from the 2002 Disney animated film. Although the game doesn't follow the movie script in detail, gameplay features elements of action from the film including the capture of Spirit by rustlers, his subsequent escape, and rescue of the filly Rain and other horses. In his attempt to round up and save his companions, Spirit will explore five areas and encounter a dozen characters, from Carrie Nation and "Snakefinger" Riely to Little Brook, Little Creek, and the Kickapoo Trader Eagle Eye. During the adventure, Spirit nurses Rain back to health by providing food (apples) and water, collects arrowheads as currency for buying quest items, and picks up feathers as an indication of his kindness. Spirit runs faster as he finds carrots throughout the game, gets more carrots by catching a rabbit, races an eagle for a feather, kicks backward to knock down fences and free his imprisoned friends, jumps over rivers and other obstacles, and interacts with several characters, both animal and human. Up to a dozen different sign-in names can be entered so multiple players may be tracked separately by automatic saves throughout the game. | ||

| Star Cow Episode I: Dwarf Attack [Ru] | Magnamedia | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
In this plasticine animated advenutre, we have to get acquainted with the story of the cow of Muli and the gnome Koroviev, whose surname comes from his profession as a shepherd. Star cows feed on shooting stars and gives star milk, and goblins make the Milky Way out of it and precious stones. But on one rainy day an evil stone giant comes, steals the “brylyanty” and spoils the balloon, with the help of which the stars hang in the sky. Koroviev should tell stupid fellow tribesmen ways to solve pressing problems, and then take up the solution of his own, because the frightened herd fled. The developers limited themselves to using plasticine only to create models, not backgrounds, and they turned out pretty good, but the main advantage is still the music, very suitable for children's games. The story is conveyed by the narrator’s voice, other characters are also voiced, but in all cases a monstrous filter has been applied, so listening becomes, if not scary, at least unpleasant. Although the replicas are in moderation here, you also need to annoy the player with the rest of the time, which is served by a curved animation, the incredibly slow speed of movement of some characters (the movement is controlled from the keyboard, the actions with the mouse), the nightmarish physical model (which generally determines its appearance in such a game is a riddle), ridiculous puzzles and bugs. We have to go around locations for a long time and aimlessly (not because they are large, but because the goblins move slowly), engage in “intellectual mini-games”, for example, block the raging herd of cows along the path to the stone cliff. It is very easy to drive yourself into a dead end, it is impossible to predict such a situation in any way, and therefore often, when you start solving the next puzzle, a restart button is present on the screen. As already mentioned, the plasticine models were made quite well, but the way they are superimposed on two-dimensional backgrounds causes an inappropriate sense of falsehood, as if we were not living a fashioned world, but simply figures riding on painted cardboard. | ||

You are Kate Walker, a lawyer that has been entrusted by the Universal Toy Company to negotiate the takeover of an old luxury toy and automaton factory. Over the centuries, the factory has been developing clockwork devices, specializing in perpetual mechanical movement. The factory's ambitions, however, are ill-suited to the contemporary economic climate, and the elderly Anna Voralberg, at the helm of the Valadilene factory for more than half a century, has decided to sell up. The day that Kate Walker arrives, Anna Voralberg is being buried. What is more is that she has left an heir – her brother Hans. But Hans had left the valley at the end of the thirties and never returned, and was actually believed to be dead. However, a letter written by Anna in the days leading up to her death reveals that Hans is well and truly alive and living somewhere in Siberia. Valadilene's elderly notary entrusted to take care of Anna's affairs suggests that Anna find Hans Voralberg as he is now the only person in a position to ratify the sale of the family business. This is a state-of-the-art, 3D, 3rd person, point & click game, with a smart cursor, inventory and subtitles. The interface and controls are practically self-explanatory, among the easiest and smoothest ever. The puzzles are original, inventory based, and story related. They range in difficulty from the obvious to the moderately obscure, but all are logical, and they can be solved with attention to detail and the ample clues given in conversations and remarks. The world in which you find yourself seems somehow frozen in time, and the graphics are absolutely stunning. Done with a limited palette of grays and browns and mossy greens, they are atmospheric, understated and elegant, reminiscent of paintings by the old masters. The imagination shown for the unusual subject matter often makes you catch your breath in awe and the realism is unbelievable. The music is nothing less than magnificent - evocative, stirring, achingly beautiful and notably, only performed periodically for emphasis or heightened emotional effect, something usually only experienced in motion pictures. All of these different elements, including some cut scenes that you will never forget, work together synergistically to create the perfect illusion, as you travel across the face of Europe through four fantastic towns. You are magically transported to another place and time, to be captivated by the story itself for hours on end. | ||

For anyone who has a "Myst" certain style of game, they will be pleased to find out about T’alvi. This free game, created with the AdventureMaker software used in Nacah and its sequel, Derek even uses the well-known transport music from Myst! It's an extremely short game but is worth a look even just to reminisce about the first time you tried Myst. Graphics are lovingly made and may even be better than the original Myst. Sound is sparse and consists mainly of background effects. The game has a single character in it, a boy, who plays a similar role to Atrus in the original. He acts well but is a little hard to hear (just like the transmissions from Atrus’ sons). T'alvi plays as almost a lost chapter to the Myst saga, complete with a journal about the creation of the worlds a la Myst. There are a few new books and worlds to accompany them. | ||

"Waking up that day, things felt unusually different. For one thing, it was 2am , I had no idea who I was or who's bed I had been sleeping in. Then next thing I knew, I was being blamed for my girlfriend's mysterious disappearance; and a pesky cop named Todd wouldn't get off my case. My head ached. What happened that night before? Where was my girlfriend? Could I really be responsible? - And why was the whole town giving me the run-around??" (From the diary of Roy Haliway). That Night Before is a series of four acts created with 'The Games Factory' and depicts the story of Roy Haliway and his disappearing girlfriend. Roy has no recollection of what happened 'That Night Before', but what is clear is that his girlfriend has gone missing and he's in a lot of trouble. Cue a quest heavy with randomly picking up items and talking to strangers. Each act is quite short (a playthrough of act one today took me around 20 minutes) but it's an interesting enough story. The puzzles are quite simple too, but if you're looking for a relaxing game to play over your weekend, That Night Before could serve you well. | ||

Tony Tough is a traditional 2D "point and click" adventure with a crazy story. The humor and style are reminiscent of old LucasArts games, like Day of the Tentacle. Tony is a pint-sized Columbo, outfitted in a yellow slicker and hat. To be more exact, he’s a gnome-sized, nasal-voiced hypochondriac momma’s boy who left home at the tender age of thirty to work for a private detective agency. Now, ten years later, he’s still diligently toiling on the same case involving a pumpkin-headed, candy-thieving psychopath who takes great pleasure in stealing innocent children’s Halloween candy. But Tony is about to embark on an even stranger adventure as Pantagruel, his purple pet tapir, has been kidnapped sending Tony on a desperate search deep inside a demented carnival populated with a peculiar cast of characters – a bearded lady, a fortune teller, a pitiful clown - and a full assortment of rides – a ferris wheel and the tunnel of love – and a pizza shop, hot dog stand and a pirate-themed restaurant. It has wonderful, colorful graphics that will flood you with memories of games enjoyed in years past. The humor succeeds most of the time and the voice acting is quite good. | ||

Ippolit Matveevich Vorobyaninov was once a rich and influential member of Russia's merchant class. But the revolution of 1917 took his money and his position away from him. Now he works in an office in a little Russian city. Suddenly his mother-in-law becomes gravely ill, and tells him a big secret before she dies: when the revolution broke, she had hidden her diamonds in one of the chairs standing in her living room. The question is: where are those chairs now? And in which one are the diamonds? The quest for the lost treasure leads Vorobyaninov and his side-kick, the sly thief and swindler Ostap Bender, to a journey through the early Soviet Union, full of surprises and bizarre encounters. "Twelve Chairs" is a satiric novel written by Ilya Ilf and Jevgeny Petrov about 1930. The novel quickly became a cult book among Soviet citizens, mainly thanks to its critical approach towards the regime and brilliant humor. Now it appears in a form of a classic adventure game in spirit of Curse of Monkey Island, with cartoony graphics, plenty of characters to interact with, and tricky puzzles for the two heroes to solve. | ||

This hilariously amusing, award winning, devious puzzle solving speech adventure spans 12 episodes over 3 periods of royal rule and were released one a time fro 2001-2004. They are extremely simple to operate but very complicated in design, this demands a slow approach requiring logical and lateral thinking in order to solve the many devious puzzles. The simple background story is a classic fairytale. Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Valhalla, a twisted and evil man known as the Lord of Infinity killed his brother, the good King Garamond, and usurped the throne. And he then ordered the death of all those loyal to Garamond, which of course resulted in civil war, destruction and despair throughout the land. He also decreed that the little Prince, Garamond's 2 year old son and rightful heir to the throne, be drowned. But the little Prince was never found, having been spirited away by the good Bishop to a neighboring kingdom and there raised and schooled in wisdom and justice and taught the true history of his people. But it is now 14 years later and the little Prince has come of age. And he has come back home: back to Valhalla to destroy his father's murderer and take his rightful place as King of this once beautiful land. This is a God's-eye-view, 2D, 3rd person, point & click adventure, with inventory (the little Prince's rucksack) and subtitles. The game itself is played on the 'screen' of a virtual TV-like box called the Vulcan Portal (see picture below this review), which also contains all of your options within view at all times plus some unforgettable characters. | ||

The sequel is set 14 years after events of previous game. Now is 1699 and the game opens against the background of the imminent death of Charles II of Spain. You are a young nobleman, who want to join foreign affairs office at French court with only goal: return to your beloved Elvira, who lives in Spain. But it is not simple, so during the game you have to raise your rank and become an assistant of Minister of Foreign Affairs. You have to do a different tasks, for example, make a tour for Spanish ambassador and correctly answer his questions or arrest German countess. Finally you must help France to get the Spanish throne from Germany. This game showcases a slightly different face of Versailles. Instead of being played out inside the sumptuous galleries and function rooms, on this occasion you are permitted only a peep into these areas with the stables, the gardens, and nearby hostelleries playing the major role. It's not a difficult game. The puzzles are not difficult and it is very easy to work your way through the story even though it's not fleshed out much and not always crystal clear. But it isn't technically an adventure; it's heavily weighted towards being an interactive book as you simply follow along where you are led learning about Versailles and French customs along the way. | ||

Kengo Inui is the perfect model citizen. He wakes up five minutes before his alarm clock goes off, and exercises every day before work. As a chemistry teacher, he is loved by his students and respected by his peers. He is fit, attractive, and very charming. However, outward appearances mask his sinister inner self; he is mean-spirited, easily annoyed by everyone around him, and likes nothing more than to hunt young women and make them his willing slaves... after some "training", of course. This plays as a "Choose Your Own Adventure"-style adventure hentai game. The game plays through at its own pace, pausing on occasion to allow you to intervene by making a decision, resulting in a plot branch. The game has several different endings. Not for children, it contains graphic depictions of sex. The english version was released in 2003. | ||

This is a great and dark adventure game based on the King Diamond album Voodoo. Defend the Voodoo cult against disbelievers. You are Salem, the butler of an old colonial house. The first owner of this mansion, Jean Le Noir, was a mighty voodoo priest, but he died some time ago. Now David and Sarah Lafayette, together with her Grandpa, move in. They heard rumors about the Loa house and its past, but they didn't care about all that superstitious gossip. Maybe they should have. Can you, as Salem, defend the Voodoo cult against disbelievers while serving your new employers? To play Voodoo you will have to download both the Game Files, Voodoo.zip and the Game Player Engine, AdvPlay.zip. Next create a folder called Voodoo and unzip both of these downloaded files into this Voodoo folder. To Start the game use Windows Explorer to find and Double Click on the AdvPlay.exe file in the Voodoo folder. If this is the first time that you have selected this file, you should be given the option to choose Deutsche or English. Double click on the language of your choice. Next you will have to select the game file voodoo.adv by clicking on it and then clicking on Open. | ||

| Voodoo Girl: Queen of the Darned | Andrew Ulysses Baker | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
You control Voodoo Girl as she wanders a surreal, idealised mythological Haiti on a shopping errand picking up ingredients for a new recipe her spiritual mentor Mama Houngan is cooking up: nothing out of the ordinary -- just a coconut, some blowfish venom, yellow grave mold, eye of newt, Thorazine, and, oh yes, "the mythical Golden Cauldron, said to be located in the Land of Dreams." How about a litre of milk, while I'm at it? In pursuit of the items on this bizarre shopping list (the Cauldron has been fractured into numerous pieces, by the way -- the game's not as short as it might initially seem) you will travel high and low through varied environments -- dodging falling rocks on a cliffside, investigating a cave hidden behind a waterfall; you'll gaze upon a mountaintop rainbow and keep careful note of passages in a subterranean labyrinth ("The Incredibly Twisty Maze-Like Cave"). You'll even win a dance contest! Through it all you'll encounter characters straight out of Vodoun folklore, from peaceful Rada loa to angry Petro loa and the notorious Baron Samedi, all along the way to a final showdown with the Dream King himself! All this subversive occultism in a game with little violence and no obscene language (so the author's little brother could play. The game uses Sierra's classic AGI engine that was used for the original King's Quest. | ||

| Vovochka and Petechka [Ru] | Avalon Style Entertainment / 1C | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
From the developer of the game Plasticine Dream, the plot of the game is based on the story of the adventures of two bosom friends - Vovochka and Petechka, who, leaving their home school, went in search of dangers, troubles and thrills. Ahead of them are truly awesome events - and the kidnapping of the class magazine, and the disassembly with the senile high school student Goose, and the imprisonment in the school closet, and the love of classmates, and the exposure of the formidable director ... In short, hundreds of jokes plus a bit of black humor - and before you the game , which will make you happy and help you relax, distracted from the pressing problems, immersed in a world of fun and moderate insanity. The game has more than forty characters: from teachers to schoolchildren, teenagers, schoolmates of the main characters. Sami Vovochka and Petechka are something like Beavis and Butthead in Russia. However, the main difference between the "sweet couple" is that they are smart guys who are not looking for easy ways and are not boring nerds. Yes, they are obviously a hooligan warehouse, but they are not idiots at all. In addition, Vovochka and Petechka are representatives of two main youth areas. Vovochka is a rapper (at least, trying to be like that), Petechka is a metalist, a fan of heavy guitar riffs and steel rivets on clothes. Also in the game there is a cult personality of modern history - "Mary Ivanna", teacher of English. In total there are twenty level screens in the game. The transition to the next level is carried out after the task of the previous one. In the course of passing the player decides various puzzles, controlling the actions of both characters in turn, each of which in its own way affects the surrounding objects. In some cases, you have to use both at once. | ||

| Zaphie 2 Resurrection [K] | Grigon Entertainment / eSofnet | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Zaphie 2 occurs ten years after the events of the original as a teenage boy has just been declared sane and released from an asylum. Reminiscent of the Silent Hill series, the dark shading and gloomy atmosphere gives the game an overall feeling of suspense. You don't know who is your friend or foe, even if they appear to be helping you. Just because you find out something, does not mean it is a helpful clue. It could very well be a red herring meant to through you off. While the graphics are well done, they remind of the Japanese styled cartoons. They use very little movement but plenty of explanations of the plot in the details of the characters. It is not until the end you figure out whether the main character is truly insane, or beset by real demons. | ||

| Zelenhgorm: The Great Ship Episode 1 / Zelenhgorm: Episode I: Land of the Blue Moon | Moloto | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The Great Ship is the first episode of the episodic fantasy adventure series Zelenhgorm: Land of the Blue Moon. Three more episodes were planned, but never finished. Zelenhgorm is a fantasy continent with earth-like qualities. In this episode, meet and learn about the Deyrec people whose clothes, dwellings and environment are decidedly early Scandinavian. Embedded in this civilization are superstition, folk-lore and magic as well as science. You play Arrikk Vaheirr, a young man who lives in the fishing village of Senava and invents odd machines in his garden. One day, two strange things happen to upset the daily routine - a giant ship runs aground on the river bank near Arrikk's garden ... and the dormant lighthouse begins to shine again. Arrikk's quest to discover the mysteries of the great ship, and the truths behind his haunting dreams, begins. Although played in first person, the scenery is full of the hustling and bustling of characters going about their daily lives. Even if you cannot talk to an onscreen character, they react as Arrikk passes by. The view switches to 3rd person view as your character changes locations or during special video sequences. Over 140 live actors form the cast, some of whom are famous through their parts in the Star Wars movies. Using full-motion video, the game has 360 degree panoramic views. All actions are controlled completely with a mouse, with the exception of using the ESC keyboard key to call up the main menu. Drop down menus appear when talking to the numerous characters. Open and close the bottom-screen inventory window by right-clicking and left-clicking respectively. Objects in inventory can also be combined which is necessary for solving some of the game's many challenging puzzles. | ||

The game (which means Life Is Not Beautiful) begins with intro that puts you into the action. After 15 years you have been dismissed from work. Your boss, to make matters worse, took your girl too - that's the last straw. In these moments, the protagonist decides to massacre boss (there used to be a girl who now lives with them in the villa) and at those occasions and rob him. And here come the first problems - get a gun, pick lock, get into the villa, and without attracting attention kill that bastard. This was supposed to be a 14-episode game series, out of which 7 were made. You usually play as a character who is low on life and finds himself in a terrible situation (your boss fires you and you have nowhere to go, you were put in jail for something you didn't do...) and violence is the only way to get out (killing your boss, having to cope with the people in prison...). As such, the main protagonist often murders several people to get to his goal, counting from 4 up to more than a hundred. The idea of the game series of 14 episodes was that each game represented a specific year (ZNK 1 is 2002, ZNK 2 is 1996, ZNK 3 is 1999...), taking place in a fictive city and you would see the same characters throughout and feel the consequences of your actions (for example, you see a spray painting in ZNK1 which you spray in ZNK 4, in ZNK 5 you are investigate murders you did in ZNK 2...). The original game was done in 2 days and as the series continues, they would get better graphics, puzzles, length, and later get sounds, music and voice acting. The game also had some good Czech humor and a nice little addition with "second endings"- at the end of each game after you finish it the "normal way", you would get instructions on how to get the second ending (for example click the broken window in the intro to get infinite money) - these were usually funny, trippy, weird or revealed something more about the characters. The last game (ZNK 14) was supposed to reveal a big secret and tie everything up but the series never got finished and noone found out what it was. | ||

| Akuji the Demon | E. Buster Hashimoto | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Akuji the Demon is an excellent freeware platformer from Japan that puts many commercial titles to shame. The storyline alone is already a twist on the familiar "hero kills foozle" plot: you play a demon (albeit a cute little one) who is seeking revenge on a hero who defeated you years earlier. To do this, you must venture into a deep labyrinth where the hero (who is now a king) has hidden 9 magic stones that sealed your power. Only when you recover all 9 stones will your full demonic powers return to ready you for the eventual fight with the hero. The game plays like Konami's popular Castlevania series, but with more greater freedom of movement and many more interesting RPG elements. In fact, the game is very similar to another Japanese freeware called Ikachan (also on this site and highly recommended): you can collect 'mana stones' along the way that act like "experience points" in a typical RPG. Collect enough stones, and your experience level will increase a notch, giving you more life points. Each of the 9 magic stones you find not only gives you access to the new level, but also awesome new powers. These powers range from simple moves like super-high jump and flying, to more fancy ones like breathing fire and transforming into a ghostly form (useful for passing through walls). Puzzle elements in the game mostly come in the form of "how to get from point A to B" variety: sometimes you have to use super-jump multople times in a row to get to high ledges, smash rocks that block your way, etc. Each level is huge: you can usually explore it in multiple directions, not only straight ahead (i.e. moving to your right all the time) as in most platformers. Sometimes you will need to backtrack to use the new power you gain elsewhere, but the game is not repetitive at all because there are always new enemies to fight, new clues to read, and new powers to discover. Originally released in Japanese, a fanmade English patch has been released courtesy of D-Boy, so you will no longer have to figure out what the signs and characters are saying. With smooth, attractive anime-style graphics and a very enjoyable and refreshing gameplay, Akuji is hands-down one of the best platformers you will ever play, freeware or otherwise. Experts be warned, though: the game is easy even on Hard setting, and will take veteran gamers only 1-2 hours to beat the whole game - but at least you will have a blast while playing it. | ||

This version only features the first level, but still has the same style of play and story where a little yellow alien is shot down by the F.B.I. and must defend himself against their onslaught. The controls consist of using the Left and Right arrow key to move Hominid while use the Up key to jump and shoot upwards and using the Down key to shoot downwards while jumping. To shoot Hominid's gun, the player uses the "A" key while using the "S" key to jump. The player advances through the level, shooting at F.B.I. agents or slicing them at close range with a knife. Additionally, the player can jump on top of enemies and bite their heads off and can find various power-ups scattered throughout the level that includes shooting fire from their gun and larger energy balls. Graphic artist Dan Paladin is responsible for the hand drawn art for the game and later did the work for the console releases and has done other games such as Sack Smash 2001, Dad 'n Me and Chainsaw the Children.

Archangel is the third person budget rpg adventure game (with first person view option) where you control Michael, a guy who survives a car crash and wakes up in a monastery to find out he is needed to fight the ever growing forces of darkness. At the onset of your voyage, you are introduced to the Lord of Light and he gives you the option of receiving powers of a Warrior or a Ghost. As the Warrior, you are granted supernatural strength and your skin is like rock. As the Ghost, you are weaker, but you are nearly invisible and can cast a ring of fire that emanates from you, damaging all within the radius of effect. Once you choose, you can enable this secondary form for a short period of time based on your spirit energy shown by a regenerating meter on the HUD. You use it when you swing a special sword and it continuously drains when you change into your other form. There are also other spirit energy abilities you can “purchase” with Essence and you receive points for completing objectives and killing minions of the darkness. The first chapter of the game, you are in a medieval time. Your weapons consist of a knife, a light sword, a heavy sword, an axe, a bow and arrow, and your magical sword. The areas consist of gothic architecture, caves, forests, and swamps. After you find the three stones, you’ll move on to modern architecture, as well as modern weapons (i.e. guns), three different epochs in all. The human-like models are very square and blocky and graphics are not state of the art but do the job. The music is well done but voice acting is not, and there are bugs in the game as well. | ||

As an owner, you can experience everything from the management strategy of the entire business to the sales tactics at the store, starting from a small store and developing while competing with rival chains. A lot of challenging scenarios such as "revitalize the town and relocate the capital" and "increase the number of chain stores to 15" are recorded, and the road gradually becomes steeper as you progress from beginner to intermediate and advanced. In addition, it is equipped with a function that allows you to develop original products by setting development costs and development periods, and to create scenarios and maps yourself. Professional JAZZ musician "Jun Oka" is in charge of the music. The third unique simulation game where you can become the owner of a convenience store and experience everything from management strategy to over-the-counter sales tactics. The goal is to start from a small store and succeed by expanding the chain. The appeal of this game is its realistic settings, such as competition with rival chains, behavior of "customers", and unique "human resources" who apply for employees. The scenario is also in line with various goals such as "revitalize the town and relocate the capital", and if you clear the beginner's level, increase the difficulty level to intermediate and advanced level, and start over based on the previous failure points. You can enjoy it as many times as you like. For management, it is necessary to consider product and customer information such as name recognition and recognition, fashionability, PR strategies such as advertising and word-of-mouth, and it may be used as learning software for those who aim to manage stores. | ||

| Drome Racers | Attention to Detail Limited / Lego Interactive | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a futuristic combat racing game based on the LEGO (Drome) Racers line of construction toys from 2002. It features on- and off-road racing in vehicles that resemble their LEGO counterparts, with some designs being completely new. The game focuses on the Career mode, where the player takes the role of Max Axel, the driver of the newly-formed Team Nitro, one of the six racing teams in Drome, a large elliptic racing arena with many different natural and urban surroundings. All drivers compete in a set of Multi Challenge Races (MCR), which are a series of connected races. At the start of each MCR, a drag race determines the pole position, while in all subsequent races, the position, and delay at which the driver approaches the starting line is determined by the results of the previous race. Hence, whoever wins the last race of an MCR, wins the MCR itself. There are 9 standard tracks available, and each one has A and B variations (up to half of the track can differ), and can be driven in forward or backward directions, resulting in 4 ways to drive on each track. Three MCR categories exist; Novice, Intermediate, and Expert, with the opening MCRs of each category unlocking new tracks. Different times of day and weather conditions are also featured. After a certain number of MCRs, individual drivers will challenge Max to race in all four variations of a track. Finishing in fourth place or better (or just first in challenges) earns upgrade points (which can be used to improve the engine, turbo, aerodynamics, tires, and armour), and finishing certain MCRs or challenges earns build tokens, which can be used to unlock new cars. All cars can be driven with automatic or manual gear changing, except for manual-only drag cars. Scattered on the tracks are health and weapon powerups, as well as accelerator pads. Each car has four measures of health - the less health it has, the slower it gets, and when it loses all the measures in the health meter, some (non-essential) parts can fall off the car. Various weapons add to the arcade nature of the game and help drivers maintain their position or press forward. Joining Max in Team Nitro are Rocket, a retired driver who arranges practice and challenge sessions and gives tips on the game mechanics; Shicane, the team's mechanic who informs Max of the upcoming races and manages the garage (cars, upgrades, and unlocking); and Slot, the analyst who follows Max' statistics and enables saving/loading of the Career mode progress. They assist Max in winning the 2015 Drome championship and dethroning the current champion, Sever from Team Exo Force. In addition to the Career mode, players can choose Arcade mode and the Quick Race mode (which is the same as Arcade, only with randomized settings). These modes only feature tracks that have been unlocked in at least one saved game from the Career mode and can be played by one or two players in local split-screen multiplayer. | ||

Galaxy Angels are from the "Special Guardian Division" and they work closely with the "Imperial Special Guards" and the "Satellite Defense Teams". They are the guardians of the White Moon, the sacred planet of the Transbaal Empire, and the personal protectors of the White Moon Goddess Shatoyan. The story begins with Prince Eonia attempting a take over of the Transbaal Empire with the aid of the mysterious Black Moon, counterpart to the White Moon. To counter Prince Eonia, the Angel-tai along with their flagship the Elsior are placed in the hands of the kind and ever-capable Commander Takuto Meyers. It's primarily a visual novel (VN), punctuated with real-time tactics (RTT) gameplay segments. The VN segments are fairly typical of the genre and straightforward; taking the role of the protagonist, Tact Mayers, the player reads through the dialogue, occasionally making a choice from several presented options that affect the flow of the story. Tact's overall goal is get to know the members of the Moon Angel Troupe. earning their trust and eventually pursuing a romantic relationship with one of them. On occasion, the player will be given the freedom to move about the Elle Ciel, inspecting the various rooms and meeting the Angels. With the exception of the introductory tour, however, Tact can only spend 30 minutes touring the ship at a time, and each room visit takes five minutes, so the player must allocate time accordingly. The decisions the player makes affect the morale and trust of the Angels towards Tact, in turn affecting their combat abilities. For this reason, the player should attempt to keep the Angels happy. The combat segments take place in space, with the player takes command of the Elle Ciel and the Angel Troupe's Emblem Frames, as well as any Imperial Navy ships present. The goal is generally to eliminate all enemies while protecting the Elle Ciel, although some levels will have additional objectives. Each ship has a varying amount of weapons (with differing damage, range and accuracy values), armor, speed, acceleration, mobility and evasion. Ships have three key stats: Health represents the structural integrity of the ship. When it drops to zero, the ship is destroyed or forced to retreat, although a ship can fight at full strength until it is actually destroyed. Only the Emblem Frames may be repaired in combat, by the Harvester or the Elle Ciel; Energy is required for the ship to function, and is consumed as the ship moves or fights. The Elle Ciel can restore the energy of Emblem Frames; Spirit is only available to the Angel Troupe's Emblem Frames, and increases as the Frame fights or takes damage. When the Frame's spirit bar is full, it can use its special attack; Ships move in three dimensions, although orders can only be issued on a two-dimensional plane. They otherwise behave as if in atmosphere, with top speeds and braking without thrusters (i.e. non-Newtonian spaceflight). The combat ability of an Emblem Frame is directly affected by its piloting Angel's morale due to the H.A.L.O. System. An elevated morale has significant effects on the Frame's damage, accuracy, evasion and Spirit charge rate. | ||

During this time in history, simple survival (and your next meal) depended upon your skills in stealth, cunning and weaponry. You play the part of Matthew, a common thief who is captured by the city guards and thrown into prison to await punishment. While trying to escape the prison, Matthew finds out about the so-called "Treasure of the Templar Knights" and becomes involved in a quest to find it. Stealth and fighting are a major part of gameplay as you wind your way through the treacherous streets and underground sewers beneath Paris. Only by using various weapons, lock-picks and other thief tools will you be able to dodge the numerous sentries and other menaces lurking about. You will be sneaking between homes, jumping from ledge to ledge, picking locks and the pockets of unsuspecting victims. The tiniest mistake could mean your death. As you advance through the levels, enemies become more numerous and more difficult to beat. The Windows game is controlled completely by keyboard and no mouse support is provided. | ||

This is a 3D brawler with an anime-style visual design for one or two players in a cooperative mode. The story revolves around a village terrorized by monsters that need to be defeated.

The game also incorporates an experience system to gain access to new features. The game has a random element for item placement and effects of restorative items.

Whether it is offensive or defensive, each hand can be controlled separately to string together attacks and the combos differ for each equipped item. Each character has two bars near the top of the screen that form a charge ring. They are each charged by a separate "hand" button to access special abilities. They can also be charged up to three cycles for different effects. Other elements include crystals to restore health, spell books and rods to perform magic, and a mix of melee and magic combat to juggle enemies into extensive combos. | ||

This is a compilation of five classic Konami platform action games from the 8-bit era. The Belmont clan strikes back against Dracula and the forces of darkness in Castlevania, where you jump and crack your whip to kill enemies and collect hearts for health and powerups. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest allows you to freely roam the land of Transylvania in the style of Nintendo's Metroid. In several towns Simon can talk with NPC's and buy items in shops, adding a touch of role-playing. It was the first game to contain a day - night cycle. Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse includes at different points in the game the player able to choose between different paths, which will determine which levels are played. At the end of certain levels, the player may encounter a companion which can be recruited to accompany the player and you can change between your own form and that of the companion. The last two games were never previously released on PC. Contra had innovative pseudo-3D stages along with other platform stages and endless ammunition in a very tough alien invasion fighting game. This is a conversion of the NES version and much of its popularity came from its then uncommon two-player simultaneous gameplay. The sequel Super C pits you and a possible partner against a wide variety of enemies starting with earthly locations, and progressing to more alien. In addition to side-scrolling view, this time there is also top-down view. | ||

The game is a one-player simulation of naval combat, in which the player commands an individual ship. The PC version only came out in Japan but a PS2 port came out 2004 in English was titled Naval Ops: Warship Gunner. In the opening cutscene, a World War II-era destroyer is caught in a dimension-warping vortex and transported to a parallel universe where the technology level is the same (although science-fiction weapons such as rail guns are available), but the world is at war between two main factions, the Empire and the Freedom Forces. The first mission of the game revolves around navigating a destroyer to safety while being bombarded by unidentified ships. Upon rendezvous with friendly forces, later identified as the Freedom Forces, the crew decides to join them in the war against the Empire. The player can choose between four nationalities: American, British, Japanese, and German. The choice of nationality affects the available ship types and characteristics of the ship parts which become available to the player throughout the game. The player can also choose to play the Normal mode or the World War II mode. In the World War II mode, technologies available will be mostly consistent with what was available to World War II-era warships. In the Normal mode, more advanced technology is available, including science fiction weapons like lasers and wave guns. At the beginning of the game, the player is given command of a generic destroyer. As missions are completed, the player earns points and money. The points go toward crew promotions, while the money can be used to purchase ship parts from boat hulls to weapons, armor, and equipment. The money earned can also be used to develop technology in five areas: aircraft, weapons, metallurgy, engines, and electronics. The higher level of money invested in each category makes available more advanced designs. There are five main categories of ships in this game, along letter-pair identifiers: destroyer (DD), cruiser (CL for Light/CA for Heavy), battleship (BB), aircraft carrier (CV), and battlecarrier (BC). With enough money, players can purchase a pre-built design or design their own. Pre-built vehicles also may feature parts that cannot be found in the game, so players may purchase pre-built vehicles and then scrap them for parts. The game progresses through 40 missions through 4 theaters of 10 missions each. The first theater is set around the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The second theater is in the Pacific Ocean, the third is in the Indian Ocean, while the fourth is worldwide. Toward the end of each of these theaters is a "boss" level, in which players must sink a "supership". A heavy emphasis of this game is the ability to customize the ships. Larger guns, faster engines, and greater anti-aircraft capability are all available to existing ships. | ||

The player's goal is to guide Inspector Montalbano to the resolution of the case, following the right tracks, finding the necessary objects, but also, making it behave in the most coherent manner with his personality. In error, two counters come into play: the bad mood and the penalties. Malafiure: It is necessary to pay attention not to make too many mistakes, because a mistake (bad figure) is collected for every mistake. More than 24 ills created Montalbano will be forced to retire. It is possible to decrease the level of ill-treatment by solving the games that will appear during the story. Penalty: At the same time, every single mistake made (even the call made to the wrong person, which is not counted as a bad word) is recorded in the penalty area. This eventually constitutes the overall score of the game which can be published directly on the website dedicated to La Voce del Violino. At the end of the game, in fact, you can enter your name and then compete at a distance with the other players of La Voce del Violino.

Following the events of Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, over 200 years the vampire Kain has assembled an army of vampires to take over the world of the humans. Fighting across Nosgoth, goal is to make his way to the great city of Meridian and take control of this stronghold. However upon reaching the gates of the city, the army is challenged by the Serafan Order, an organized force of vampire hunters and it's leader, the magical Serafan lord. Kain engages the Serafan Lord in single combat, and is struck down and defeated, Kain's sword, the Soul Reaver, is claimed by his enemy. Unconscious for 200 years, Kain awakes under the care of the vampire Umah to a world he barely recognizes. Having lost it's army, the vampires have been hunted down by the Serafan and only a few remain. The city of Meridian is ruled under martial law by the Serafan Order and demands great things of it's citizens. Strange "Glyph magic" is used to power machines and fuel industry, but at the same time is deadly to vampires and used as wards throughout the city. Kain swears vengeance on the opponent who defeated him and seeks to reclaim his place as ruler of the vampires. This is a 3rd person adventure game, more similar in perspective to Soul Reaver than the first Blood Omen game. The player controls from behind Kain's shoulder and can move him in different directions, attack, jump, use "dark gifts" and grab on to ledges. Kain's life energy steadily depletes and must be replenished constantly by drinking blood. Blood is found by consuming any living creature nearby, often requiring defeating an enemy through combat first. As Kain consumes blood, his meter is filled up. Once full, Kain gains additional health. Kain also learns new dark gifts throughout the game, by defeating boss creatures. Some gifts include: the ability to blend into mist, fire projectiles, use projectile telekinesis or make a great horizontal leap. Many of these abilities can be used to perform "stealth kills" which will instantly defeat a foe. Kain will fight using his bare hands, or by picking up daggers, swords, axes and other weapons. These weapons all attack differently, eventually breaking, and can also be thrown at enemies from afar. The Serafan use Glyph magic, partially because it is deadly to vampires. Kain will often encounter areas where he is barred from progress because of Glyph barriers and must find a way around them. Additionally, glyphs function similar to electricity in that they power machines and switches. Many of the puzzles featured in Blood Omen 2 involve needing to create a glyph "circuit" in order to deliver power to a specific point. Glyph energy glows as it travels down it's connection, allowing the player to see exactly where the energy spark is. | ||

This is a mixture of different genres in a single game. The player explores a LEGO-based environment in an open world format: ride a skateboard, drive, fly and pilot a range of vehicles all whilst performing stunts and tricks while taking on the bad guy, Brickster. The player is cast as Pepper Roni, a lead stuntman in a big movie production set on LEGO Island. Even though the player is free to go wherever he wants, there is a story behind the game divided over 25 missions. All the missions are stunt-based. Running around the world in 3rd-person view, the controls are pretty basic and do not offer the trick combinations of other stunt/trick-based games. It is easy to pick up and play, even for the younger players, without worrying too much about what button combination will do what trick. Instead the player can focus on the missions by only having to complete basic tricks with a few button presses. During the quests players can collect trading cards to unlock mini-games. Other features include bricks to create "Brickimals" and the ability to change LEGO Island objects. | ||

The events of this game take place one year after those described in Tsukihime, continuing to focus on the series' main protagonist, the high-school student Shiki Tohno who possesses a supernatural power to destroy objects by tracing their outlines with his glance. Shiki learns of a series of murders committed in Misaki, under circumstances similar to the previous case. As the young man attempts to solve the mystery, he encounters a mysterious woman who attacks him. After the fight she admits that she is a vampire seeking for a cure against her condition. Shiki agrees to help her - but in order to do that, he'll have to defeat opponents whose powers are a match for his own. Melty Blood combines the gameplay of a 2D versus fighting game with player choices and branching story progression characteristic of visual novels: depending on the outcome of the fights, the story will evolve in different directions. Six characters are available to the player right from the beginning, while eight others should be unlocked by playing through the story mode (in the patched version, all the characters can be played from the beginning). The fighting gameplay incorporates traditional moves, special attacks, and canceling combos. By building up power, players can unleash devastating blows called "EX attacks". Similarly, "EX shielding" will greatly enhance the character's defense. Recovery options are available for further tactical decisions during battles. An English translation was released in 2007.

He, his childhood friend Amane, an android named Raki, and a young girl named Shoko have powers awakened within them that allow them to use special abilities. They use these abilities to fight other superpowered creatures called "Evolutions". Every so often, the game will pause and the player is given a chance to choose from several different options regarding how the player wishes to advance the game. The plot will then branch into paths focusing on a single heroine depending on the choices that were made by the player; a conclusive character ending will be presented at the end of any given path. Once the story progresses to a certain point, several combat-orientated levels would appear. Played in classic RPG-style, the player takes control of the main characters and must accomplish a certain objective (usually to destroy all enemies on screen). There are 3 different endings; one for each heroine. Once all three endings are completed, the true ending of the game can be unlocked and the truth behind the existence of the Evolutions is revealed. Unlike the three endings preceding it, the route leading to the true ending contains no combat gameplay nor selectable choices; hence this part of the game would be played like a kinetic novel. The english version was released in 2007. | ||

Each of the girls has a special power to boost their health, skills, or attack effects such as mega-blast and temporary invincibility. In Story mode, players must finish the games in a specific order, using an easy or hard difficulty setting, and finish all levels before winning and thwarting Him. Each level has 30 coins which must be collected to unlock the games for unlimited play in Arcade mode.

| Robin Hood: The Legend Of Sherwood | Spellbound / Strategy First | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
In this game, you get to take part in one of the oldest and still most popular stories of all. Only a hair's breadth from the action, you share in all the excitement and adventures of your heroes: Robin Hood, Little John, Will Scarlet, Stutely the Owl, Friar Tuck and the lovely Lady Marian. You can penetrate the mighty walls of Notingham Castle, York, Leicester, Derby and Lincoln, and attack heavily guarded convoys in Sherwood Forest. The Prince’s lightly-armed guardsmen and heavily armoured knights will challenge you to a duel on staircases lit by flaming torches. Or they might try and fool you with beer, hornets' nests or a well-aimed money-pouch. Whenever you want, you can go to the outlaws' camp and practise the basic and advanced game functions; whether hand-to-hand combat with swords or staffs, target practice with the bow or the skilful use of the many implements Robin’s followers have at their disposal. Easy mouse control and a system of icons you can understand intuitively will aid both beginners and experts in getting into the game quickly and helping you towards your first successful results. Movements and battles can be controlled problem-free using the mouse. The Robin Hood - The Legend Of Sherwood battle system enables you to have exciting duels with swords, staffs and other typical mediaeval weapons. But in the end it is having the right tactics which decides on victory or defeat. Whether you sneak into a castle and avoid the sentries or whether you take the direct route with sword and bow, is up to you. For example you can use the reduced visibility during the hours of darkness to your advantage. Or you can deploy the numerous abilities and special objects your men have, in order to distract the Prince's henchmen. Or then again you could try to fight your way through to your goal using well-aimed bowshots and skilfully deployed weapons. A lot of different possibilities present themselves; you just need to use them wisely. | ||

| Rocknor's Bad Day | Monolux | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a puzzle-oriented action arcade game. The little robot Rocknor is lost and wants to find his way home. He has many obstacles to overcome on his journey, and getting through them will take using his brain more than his brawn. There are 30 levels to solve, each getting progressively more difficult. Because some puzzles build on each other, remembering your earlier steps is necessary for success. The levels are varied. For instance, on one level you may be pressing switches or pushing blocks; on another you could be working with other robots or conveyor belts. Additional elements are added in higher levels to vary the gameplay. If you make a mistake, restarting will take you back to the last saved waypoint. You control Rocknor using your keyboard keys in a overhead, top-down view. The colorful, scrolling screens are a mixture of 2D with some 3D animations. You see only a 9x9 view of the current level as you play. A sidebar provides hints on your current problem plus the option to pause. Passcodes allow you to return to the beginning of the next unsolved level. There are no time limits so the game can be played at your own pace and with ample time to think things through. Preferences can be set for sound, music and speed. | ||

| Scene It? The DVD Movie Game | Screenlife LLC / Mattel Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is first game in the Scene It? series and can be played by two to four players or teams. The box contains a folding game board, Reference cards, Trivia cards and Buzz cards together with four metal tokens; a film reel, a box of popcorn, a clapper board, and a movie camera, the DVD is held in a card slip case. The game is played on the Scene It? 'flex-time' game board so-called because of its novel feature, when there's not enough time/interest to play a full game it can be folded, thus reducing it's size so that a short game can be played. It's played with two dice, a six sided die that determines how far the player moves and an eight sided die which determines the challenge the player will face. After the player has rolled both dice and moved their token they may have to complete a challenge, if successful they take another turn and continue to do so until they make an error or the category die shows 'buzz' - see below. Players move before they attempt a challenge and if they are on an 'Double Feature' space they move twice the number rolled. The challenges the player will face in their travels are determined by the roll of the eight sided die, they are;* 'My Play': this is a DVD challenge in which a scene is viewed a question is asked. 'All Play': this is a DVD challenge in which a scene is any player can answer. 'Buzz Card': If the category die shows 'buzz' the player selects a Buzz Card from the pack, follows the instructions and their turn ends. 'Trivia Challenge': Here another player draws a trivia Challenge card and reads the question. There are three categories of trivia question 'Take Three' in which the player must identify a performer or movie based on three clue', 'Songs and Slogans', and 'Pop Culture' each represented by a distinct symbol on the category die. On one side of the Trivia Card there is a question from each category with the answers on the reverse. 'Players Choice': here the player selects a trivia card or DVD category of their choice. The player(s) must travel round the board to the 'Final Cut' area where they must answer an 'All Play To Win' challenge. It is possible for two players to answer an 'All Play To Win' question simultaneously, in this case the DVD Tiebreaker question/challenge is used. If the player in the Final Cut area answers the 'All Play To Win' successfully they win the game, if not they move to the outer Final Cut circle and must successfully answer three DVD challenge questions to win. Unlike later games in the series this game has no 'Party Play' option on the main menu however the instructions say that a Scene It party is still possible by selecting My Play and All Play questions at random.

This is the 8th work in the Gaiden series. While Claire Youngleaf is the main character, characters from "I'' to "IV'' also appear . The story takes place in two of the Eight Powerful Countries: the Principality of Mycenae and the Republic of Polix. The strategic map also shows the connections between each star system in terms of network topology, and when you enter an individual star system, it becomes a hex-type tactical map that is often seen in normal simulation games, and it is a type of spacecraft that launches from a single ship or aircraft carrier. The method has been changed to a battle when adjacent machines are used as pieces. From the beginning to the middle, it's a battle between each powerful nation and the Warrior of Light, but in the second half, it's a battle between the Warrior of Light and Exus Grafts. | ||

| Sims Online, The | Maxis Software Inc. / Electronic Arts Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This takes the gameplay from The Sims and brings it into a consistent online universe, where all the Sims are controlled by real people. Taking place completely online, it ran 24/7. Upon installation, you could create up to a maximum of three Sims, dress them however you like, name them whatever, and enter a region, where you could build a house or become a roommate with someone. Skills in TSO were more important than the off-line versions, as the better skill you have, the more money you'd make when taking part in group objects. For example, if you had a high charisma rating, you'd be able to sell more items using the telemarketing phone, which in turn brought in more money. Having a high Cooking rating would allow you to make bigger and better pizza's, bringing in more money. Most money making objects required a group. The pizza maker, for example, required four people; one to take the order, one to select the proper dough, one to select the proper ingredients, and one to finish off the toppings. Communicating would result in a good pizza, while not communicating would result in a charred mess, equaling nothing in money. You could choose to live anywhere there was a free spot and build up a house all your own, or you could move in with someone, sharing the house and buying objects together. Most of the objects from all the expansions were in the game, including some that are specific to TSO, such as the aforementioned Pizza Maker, mathematics board, telemarketing machine, lawn bowling game, and over one hundred more objects. The 2003 version included some new features: Jobs, Pets, Service characters, Clothing racks, Death, Secure trading. The game's last server was shut down in February 2008, officially ending the game, but all the cities were merged into a larger realm based on an improved version of the game, living on as EA-Land until Aug/2008. On January 6, 2017, a fan-made relaunch created by Rhys Simpson, FreeSO was released in an "open beta" phase. As of May 1, 2017, the majority of the original The Sims Online functions were re-implemented to include 3D functions with continual updates promised. Some of the existing changes have included category functions. | ||

This is the sixth expansion in the series, and adds a ton of new features. The most notable edition to The Sims is that of pets. Your Sim family may now adopt a pet from the local pet adoption center. You can adopt a cat, a dog, a lizard, a turtle, birds, parrots or fish. Dogs and cats are the most unique, as they count as a member of your family, needing certain stats to be happy, such as energy and bladder. You must provide bedding (or they'll sleep on the floor), litter box for cats (dogs do it anywhere) and food bowls, as well as toys to keep them happy. You can train your pet to do tricks, and in lieu of another Sim, you can use your pet to improve your social score. Cats and dogs will also chase away skunks and other unwanted critters that stumble onto your lot. The second main edition is gardening. You can now buy seeds at a garden store, and plant (and grow) your own crops. You can then use these crops to eat or to sell. The neighborhood has been expanded, with a total of 40 lots allowed on one neighborhood. The original lot is there, plus thirty all new lots, which can be zoned either "commercial" or "residential". The phone book has been expanded, so if you ever encountered the problem where you had so many friends some of them disappeared off the list, this solves it. You now have the option "Call Neighbor..." and when it pops up, you choose the last name of the family, then the person you'd like to call. As in all expansions, there is 125+ new objects, new clothes and skins, and new wallpaper/floor tile combinations. There are also some new NPC characters, such as Animal Control and the Pet Trainer. | ||

Spider-Man, the classic comic book co-created by Stan Lee, is now a major motion picture.

The major inclusion for this title over the previous Spider-Man series (on Playstation also by Activision) is aerial combat. Attack the enemy mid-air while web-slinging, rise and decend while swinging and banking around buildings create a greater emphasis on Spidey's greatest asset, the spider web. | ||

Timekeepers: An elite police force, trying to protect the 4th dimension from terrorist attacks. 14 platoons are sent to 4 different time periods (2 million BC Belgium, 1245 Medieval Europe, 1966 Vietnam and 2001 Space). Their mission: to disarm nuclear bombs placed by a psychotic warlord. Timekeepers is hybrid strategy and puzzle game. It plays like a cross between Lemmings and a RTS like Dune 2. The main game screen has a row of icons at the bottom, timekeepers' portraits at each side and at the center a scrolling map of the level. The platoon is autonomous, the player can't control it directly but instead has to place icons on the map to order the troops. A soldier will try to perform an action while passing over an icon. The icons available are: Directions arrows - guide the trooper; Clock - stops the soldier for a while; Foot imprint - makes the timekeeper jump over something; Wrench - forces the trooper to operate some lever or switch; Gaping mouth - orders the soldier to attack; ZZZ - pauses the game; Brain - to choose earlier levels; Diskette - disk options, like saving and loading. There's no limit of time or amount of icons that can be placed. The levels have booby traps, enemies and dangerous environments that can kill your timekeepers. The main objective of each level is to reach the exit and teleport all your troops to the next map. | ||

| Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos | Blizzard Entertainment Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Billed as a "Role-Playing Strategy," this offers a bit more than the standard resource management and army building common to contemporary RTS games. Players control smaller parties of troops and heroes who must interact with NPCs and accomplish quests, as well as out-fight and outwit the forces of the enemy. The game's prologue is set several years after the monumental battle at the end of WarCraft II. Several orcs were trapped in Azeroth when the Dark Portal was finally destroyed and many have been forced to live as slaves to the humans, who have grown rich and restless in the ensuing years. But tedious manual labor does not come naturally to all orcs. One such slave, a young orc named Thrall, feels the warrior spirit burning deep inside his being. He breaks free of captivity and sets off across the countryside, gathering fellow lost orcs among his ranks. Rising as a powerful leader among these expatriate warriors, Thrall vows to lead Azeroth's orcs back to the honor and greatness their heritage demands. This features four distinct races - human, orc, undead, and night elf -- each with unique units and special abilities. Manageably small parties of warriors are led by impressive heroes who carry over through the game's missions, bringing further continuity to the storyline. Heroes gain experience as they progress through missions, becoming increasingly powerful as the story moves forward. Special weapons and magic items may also aid the heroes as they fight towards their final destinies. It includes a map editor that supports all of the game's tile sets as well as unit scripts and event triggers, allowing inspired gamers to create their own professional-quality adventures. Like all recent Blizzard games, it supports multiplayer gaming over the proprietary Battle.net system of servers. In addition to ruthless head-to-head warfare, multiple modes of online play also allow for cooperative team adventuring.

| Warhazard: Return of Darkness | X Media GmbH | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an unofficial expansion for WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos and is by no means endorsed by WarCraft developer Blizzard. The plot of Warhazard will sound familiar to players of the original: gloom engulfs the country and demons arise in the cover of foggy valleys. The time of heroes returns, as players lead the sword of nemesis through battles into an unimaginable adventure. Warhazard basically delivers four new campaigns for the series, as well as a collection of new multiplayer maps and game modes. It also brings with it new units and items, and also a new Level Up system, which rewards an active player with more skill points. A role-play campaign places players in charge of a party with several heroes, as they explore mystical worlds in the search for the holy artefact. | ||

|
A sequel to the original 1997 title, this chronicles the adventures of Billy, a young child trapped within his own imagination. To free himself from this now nightmarish world, Billy will have to make his way through 150 levels of puzzle and platform action spanning ten themed environments, from dense jungle to cave and ice worlds. Similar to the classic title Lode Runner, it presents players with the singular objective of destroying all the monsters within each level. To do so, players will need to dig holes in the landscape utilizing one of the many rudimentary implements at hand, then lure the monsters into the pits where they can be summarily dispatched. Buried characters will be destroyed, leaving behind valuable treasure and weapons for Billy to collect. Initially armed with little more than a pickaxe, Billy will eventually acquire more effective hole-digging implements, such as a shovel and a pneumatic drill, along with more threatening items such as a baseball bat, bombs, and mines. Digging holes, however, is only part of Billy's job. Enemy creatures (of which there are 40 types) must be coaxed into the holes. Once trapped, Billy can pommel the hapless creatures until they are destroyed, using his handy hammer. Each world (made up of 15 levels) is ruled by a boss creature that Billy must defeat in combat in order to continue on his journey. | ||

This is a creative painting / drawing package featuring Barbie and her friends Teresa, Kira and Christie. It is aimed at the younger gamer. There is very little writing, all the icons 'speak' to identify themselves as the mouse passes over them and the game regularly chips in with encouraging comments like 'You're really good at this' and 'Isn't this fun!'. As the gaming equivalent of dressing up dolls this game's strength lies in its ease of use and the number of possible combinations of model, pose, location, clothes and accessories that can be used to create a picture. Once a picture has been created it can be printed and / or saved in Barbie's Beauty Book. The game starts by opening Barbie's beauty case, selecting one of the models and whether a full or close-up portrait is going to be used as the starting point. From there the player chooses from one of four locations, Fantasy, Party Fun, Evening Glamour, and Totally Trendy, which will form the background for the picture. Each location has a its own music track and offers five different backgrounds. With these selections made the game displays the model on-screen against the chosen background on the design screen and the real fun begins. The Design Screen is what this game is all about. Around the screen in two arcs, one on the right the other on the left, are a series of special effects windows. By selecting these the player can use the mouse place sequins on the models dress. This can be done by placing one sequin at a time or my holding down the left mouse button while moving the mouse whole strings of sequins can be used to decorate the dress of any part of the picture. The arcs that show the available effects can be rotated to bring yet further effects into view. Mistakes can be removed either with the erase icon which restores the picture to its original state, with the undo icon which removes the last placed piece, or any of the three scissors icons which allow parts of a placed adornment to be removed. Around the edges of the screen are the Styling icons. These change the available effects shown in the design arcs. When the 'Styling Brushes' icon is in use the arcs will show a series of hair effects while the 'Accessories' icon will show sunglasses tiaras etc. The designer screen also allows player to add animated stamps such as butterflies and raindrops to their picture, change the models outfit and add a friend. | ||

How does that weather work? Where does rain, hail or snow come from? What is wind? When can you see a rainbow? What are there seasons? Which clothes are best for which weather? Why can meteorologists predict the weather? The good-natured pachyderm Benjamin and his friend Otto have a lot of questions when they are surprised by a thunderstorm at their picnic and find shelter with Professor Hagelkorn. In his weather station they discover a lot of interesting things together with the player. On three levels, which become active one after the other according to the level of difficulty, the child learns everything about the weather. Click on twelve areas where you can learn a lot and try out. For example, start the water cycle, look for wind instruments through a telescope, test wind forces, set a thermometer and see what happens to the water in the glass or fly into space with a rocket and find out how the seasons arise. What do snowflakes look like under a magnifying glass? Which clouds announce a storm? Why does smoke come out of your mouth when it's cold? In the menu bar is a book with old farmer's rules, a crafting guide for a sheep's mobile, tips on how to make a rainbow yourself or in spring brings the spring into the room, text and melody to the earflap song that Benjamin sings, and a picture to coloring. All this can be printed out. Of course, Benjamin not only teaches but also plays. The straw has to be quickly taken off the field before it starts to rain, and four children need the right clothes for the season. In Professor Hagelkorn's television, a few small films are about interesting weather phenomena. Exploring the weather with Benjamin Blümchen is certainly one of the most successful treatments of the topic for the intended age group of four- to nine-year-olds. | ||

Blue, the spotted blue puppy from the preschool television program Blue's Clues, has thought up a way to help her friend and neighbor Periwinkle (a small periwinkle-colored kitten) overcome his nervousness about going to school for the first time. She sets up her home, yard, and Periwinkle's Fort to simulate a kindergarten class so Periwinkle can play school and perhaps lose some of his fears. Rhyme Time - Pick out refrigerator magnets with rhyming words (with pictures, for the easiest level of play), then select from them again to fit into a little poem. Telling Time With Tickety - Move Tickety's (the clock) hands to point to the right time for various activities, such as snack, meals, soccer-time; at the easiest levels you'll be looking for pictures, rather than numbers. Book About Us - Put together pictures by choosing backgrounds and stickers; these can be printed. Math Collections - Grouping and adding/subtracting objects in Blue's sandbox. Super Science - Periwinkle's Fort has been transformed into a science room! Learn basic facts about the planets in the solar system and answer some questions/grow carrots/watch a pollywog grow or a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis. Your controls are all mouse - point, click, and often drag, although you can use the keyboard to enter your name on the extended sign-in pages. Enter your gender, your birthday, your favorite color and favorite things for a more personalized experience of the Book About Us area. The sign-in page also gives parents a selection of tips and activity suggestions for helping their child learn the kindergarten skills covered in the game; letter recognition/rhyming, counting/adding/subtracting, telling time, basic science facts and creative play. After successfully completing each activity you can go to a project page to print out, color, and use as a learning aid. | ||

The story takes you and Blue, star of the paper-cutout-animated television show, to her pre-school classroom, where Miss Marigold assigns a neighborhood adventure to the class. You, Blue, and other members of Blue's class will visit five places and bring back something from each location. After you choose a color and level and sign in, clicking on the cloud in the upper left corner of your screen takes you to a "Likes" page - the color, animal, food, song, and sport you choose here will be used somewhere in the game. The Parent's area is also accessible here, showing the curriculum goals for the game, and giving parents suggestions for additional activities connected to each neighborhood location. Gameplay uses the mouse (point, click, and drag) and an optional printer for the printable pictures and games available in Miss Marigold's classroom. As you and Blue travel through the neighborhood (escorted by Blue's human friend, Joe, who drops you off at each location), you'll visit these places: The Music Store - Listen to Purple Kangaroo and play instruments in the same order he does; The Bakery - Learn how to wait your turn and practice finding shapes and colors; The Library - Match letters or find the first letter describing a picture as you help shelve some library books - choose a book to read as a reward; The Present Store - Wait on customers; help them find the gift they can afford and count the money; The Grocery Store - Find ingredients described by Mrs. Pepper, put them in your cart, then check and bag them. As you finish each area you'll receive a special shape and the neighborhood location is checked off on Miss Marigold's List, which appears as an icon on the top right. Once all the locations are checked off, return to the preschool classroom to discover what the teacher will do with the items you've collected. On it's most basic level, it introduces the toddler to some of the places in a community and what they're for, using characters the child is most likely already familiar with. While he plays, he's practicing some of these skills: color/shape recognition, auditory memory and discrimination, letter recognition/pre-reading skills, number recognition, counting/addition, spatial and size relationships. A higher difficulty level will change the game somewhat to suit the child's learning progress. | ||

After you sign in and choose a season, it opens on Caillou's room, where you help Caillou get dressed to go outside by picking the appropriate clothing for the season – select the long pants for winter, for instance, by clicking on them and dragging them to Caillou to dress him. Some of the options are deceptive; several of the hats and shirts should logically be appropriate for more than one season, but aren't allowed. However, there is no "penalty" for wrong choices, just a gentle suggestion to try again. After you have dressed him, Caillou goes outside. Here there are a number of interactive objects and games to play, and you have the opportunity to pick up or win items to place in Caillou’s Nature Book. There are icons along the bottom of the screen that you can select to go home, view your Nature Book, access help, or exit the game, and as you run your cursor over the icons a character speaks the options aloud in a clear, friendly voice. Arrows that appear at either side of the screen will take you forward to the next screen or bring you back to the previous one – very easy for a young child to understand and use. Each season has it's own activities as well as some that are available year-round: in the fall you can help Caillou clear a path through the leaves on the playground by clicking on the tiles showing the letter he names. In spring, there is a see-saw game where you can help Caillou balance by choosing a partner for him whose number matches a number on the screen. In winter, help Caillou match his snowman to the one his father built. There is a Bouncin' Ball game in each season (In winter the ball is actually a snowball.) – you select a word that rhymes with a word Caillou says by throwing a ball at it, and a Race Along game (Or skate, or skateboard, depending on the season), where you have to decide whether to move under, over, or around obstacles in your path. There is a Picture Perfect game; choose the items that don’t belong in the picture onscreen. This, like dressing Caillou, can be a little confusing at first when you are unable to remove beach-related things from the lawn in front of a house – however, it's the season that is the important factor here. It will give the 2-6 year-old child practice in several early-learning areas including decision-making, letter and number recognition, pre-reading skills, and ordering of events. | ||

| Charlie Church Mouse Bible Adventures 1-3 | Sunday Software | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Charlie is a small mouse who lives in the preacher's podium at the church. At the start of the game, you are treated to a video of Charlie making his way to the top of the podium where he opens up the Bible. On the open pages of the Bible are some stories that the player can interact with, including stories of Creation, Noah's Ark, Jonah and the Whale, Three Wise Men, Parable of the Lost Coin, and Fishes and Loaves. Within each is a different activity for the child, some dealing with shapes, colors, and numbers. Other games are jig-saw puzzles and mazes. Each of the three Charlie CDs has a slightly different age range. Ages 4-7 will enjoy all three. Charlie #2 skews slightly older to include 8 and 9 year olds because of some of the learning activities. Charlie #3 is 4-8. It really depends on your children and whether or not an older child or adult will be there to help. Some 8 and 9 year olds will want more sophisticated software activities, some will spend hours with Charlie! Charlie # 1's learning activities are a little MORE related to the story. For example, in the Noah Story (Charlie 1), kids help put the animals on the Ark. But there's also an "animal matching" game after the story. In the Parable of the Lost Coin (Charlie 1) you help look for the woman's coin. But note that Charlie #1 is for younger children. Some of Charlie 1's activities are too easy for 7 year olds. In Charlie #2 and #3 the activities in the stories teach early elementary skills using a Bible theme from the story. For example, In Charlie 2's Pearl of Great Price story, the activity is learning how to count money in a fun Bible story themed marketplace. In Charlie 2's David and Goliath story, there's a math game which you play with David's slingshot. | ||

| Curious George: Downtown Adventure | Knowledge Adventure, Inc. | [top] | |

When Curious George and the Man With the Yellow Hat venture into the city one day, the Man foolishly leaves George alone while he goes off to shop for shoes. Curious George has a curiosity streak a mile wide that no admonition can suppress, and when he sees a crowd gathered he just has to investigate. George's actions precipitate a series of little disasters which he must set to rights. The game begins with an illustrated narration and then moves on to the first puzzle in the game, where the narrator guides the player through a mini-tutorial. The puzzles are very much like "Rube Goldberg machines", similar to The Incredible Machine series of games. Items must be arranged on the screen in a cause-and-effect manner to accomplish certain tasks. More items are collected as each of the 60 puzzles are solved. Each successful puzzle awards bananas which are considered the player's "score". Recommended ages for this game are 3 - 6 according to the publisher, however, the puzzles can be confusing. Luckily, the game offers hints on each puzzle page, allowing even the youngest player to complete each task. Player Achievement certificates, based on the player's progress, can be printed out. The game also features an "Open Play" mode where the player can design their own puzzles. | ||

Curious George has never looked better. Phenomenal 3D graphics grace the scenes of this software as youngsters frolic with George to learn to read. As usual, Curious George is faced with a dilemma. The Man with the Yellow Hat wants to give George a present, and he has left a note instructing George on how to meet him later in the afternoon. However, the note blows into a fan which tears it into five pieces that scatter. George goes on a hunt for the five pieces. Initially, his quest takes him to a tall building. To reach the first piece, George works his way up to the top by helping a window washer identify the letters of the alphabet. Next, George finds a piece at the Natural History Museum after he uses letter sounds to help him reassemble the skeletons of dinosaurs (which, of course, he had knocked down). He also visits a candy factory to learn about rhyming words, a park to practice beginning, ending, and vowel sounds, and the circus to discover how to spell. To travel between each location, kids play a fun arcade game about collecting bananas for George. It uses its charming story to tie together the five progressive phonics activities. | ||

This is a platform game for little kids in which you have to help Diego find a variety of animals and rescue them by feeding them, giving them water, or put them a bandage in case they are hurt. There are two environments to choose from: Rainforest and South Pole. The game includes two difficulty levels to choose from according to your child's computer game experience. In Easy mode, the animals to rescue are out in the open air and there are some stationary obstacles but no moving obstacles. On the contrary, in Hard mode the animals to rescue are blocked by obstacles and there are many stationary obstacles as well as some moving obstacles. In addition to this, the game is educational since the kids will learn about lots of animals, the way they sound, and they can even find more information about them in the journal. Also, Dora and Diego speak in English and Spanish all along the game, so they can also learn new words in both languages. Regarding the graphics, they are very attractive and well-done. Sound effects are good and the music is nice. | ||

|

This game is based on the Christmas calendar from 2002 with the same name and is based on a live action tv series of "Diesel rats & seamen's mice". Tthe children Ofelia and Philémon are with their father on their way to Gothenburg aboard a ship, but in a magical way they shrink to small creatures and end up in the ship's hold. There are all sorts of other small filets, such as diesel rats and sailors' mice, and of course a lot of adventures. The game that builds on / complements the Christmas calendar is divided into three different departments. First it is the main game itself, a slightly simpler adventure game where you have to walk around the different rooms on the ship and solve missions, collect points and finally fight and defeat the evil sun cat who threatens to destroy the ship and its cargo with Christmas spices. You have to catch reluctant seahorses, play with poaching pirates, and ask the oracle of the oil spill for advice, among other things. If you manage to help Master Estragon then you become "master of the engine room" (when you start you are just a "lousy fur bit"). How you lie in the game you can check on the adventure thermometer where the number of captured seahorses, inverted pirates and the vapor pressure are reported. Beware of pounding pirate noses in the shady hole. Pedagogical clues in the form of a small story you get from time to time in the so-called "Instruction Book". It has Sven Wollter 's narration and for the children it may be like a bonus story. Do your best to listen / read carefully what is said in each section. You can also choose whether it is Ofelia or Filemon to help you during the game. The one you choose will give you some hints about where to go or what to do. When they want to tell you something, the little icon flashes with her / his face in the corner. You save both the stuff you need in the game itself and the whole of your game you do in your very own little treasure chest that you can choose your own color. The click spots are small animated happenings that certainly only amuse very small little siblings. For the little children, there are things to look at in the " Ball Bearing ". Some simple click activities where you can color the drawings, print instructions for "you build a gingerbread rocket", play at Åskars steamboat saddle and a little bit more.Last but not least, and what I think most children will appreciate the most, are the 24 luck activities. The idea is that every day you get a code in the TV calendar which is the password for today's "luck game". The hatch activities contain slightly different activities. Most is the small game (tick past ice blocks, jump from thin to thin) but also puzzles, mazes, memory and the like. There are three levels of difficulty in almost all games, which is good for not being tired of the simplest. If you manage everything, you get a small bonus in the form of ornaments that you can dress a Christmas tree at the end of the game. | ||

| Dinotopia: Game Land Activity Center | Activision / ImageBuilder Software, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Released in conjunction with Hallmark Entertainment's Dinotopia miniseries on ABC, the PC title Dinotopia: Game Land Activity Center is a collection of seven games, activities, and puzzles based on the fantasy world where humans coexist with living dinosaurs. Graphics depict the art style of James Gurney, the artist and author whose creation of Dinotopia began with a series of oil paintings and stories that have been profiled in Smithsonian Magazine. His creations are brought to life through this game in the form of word searches, mazes, picture puzzles, and other similar activities. A map of Dinotopia displays at the beginning of the game and allows players to select to visit any of the seven displayed areas. Each area has a different game to play or puzzle to solve. Choose from decoding the alphabet of Dinotopia in Waterfall City, uncover images of oil paintings by sliding tiles and solving picture puzzles in Treetown and Sauropolis, work through mazes in The Portal cave, play a game of concentration with hatching dinosaur eggs at the Hatchery, and solve word search puzzles in Volcaneum. Canyon City contains a side-scrolling game where players fly skybax through three levels while avoiding other dinosaurs, balloons, and mountains. A toolbar at the bottom of the screen contains icons providing options for returning to the main map, restarting a new game, receiving clues and instructions, setting one of two difficulty levels and printing when applicable. There are opportunities to print the word searches, mazes, and decoding puzzles as well as an option to print pictures when the picture puzzles are solved. Changing the difficulty setting changes the game by creating word searches with longer lists, picture puzzles with more pieces, more intricate mazes, and more eggs to match at the Hatchery. | ||

Imagine being turned loose in an animator's studio, with free access to all the tools and tricks of the trade. Perfect for kids who like to tinker and experiment, the software offers unlimited options for fun, but is quite tricky to use. Even with the narrated help provided, it will take time for children (and adults) to learn the program's many functions and how to use each tool. That said, this is a terrific program with which kids create their own animated cartoon movies starring the Disney characters. They select and position backgrounds, characters, props, sound effects, and music, and combine scenes into movies, complete with title screens, credits and special effects. Children can draw and use their own artwork in their cartoons and can import their own photos as well. In addition to the cartoons, kids can make flipbooks and other printable projects. There's even an area where they can take animation lessons from real Disney animators. A second CD, the previously released Disney's Magic Artist Deluxe, is also included. | ||

| Disney's Learning Adventure: Search for the Secret Keys | Disney Interactive, Inc. | [top] | |

It's a dark and stormy night when Mickey and friends drop in at a haunted house looking for directions; the front door slams shut, locking the group in, and the five of them spread out to search the house for keys. The house is haunted by three friendly ghosts that only Pluto and the player can see; Shaky, Quaky and Clyde, who assist the group by making keys available as Mickey and pals solve six puzzles. Silverware dances, a stuffed bear yawns and stretches, spiders scurry about as the player clicks on items in the six rooms; often two characters will converge in a room and hold a short conversation while the player is idle. Gameplay uses the mouse; to move from room to room the player clicks where the cursor becomes an arrow - at the edge of the screen, on the staircase and the secret passageway. The activities are as follows: Piping Up - click the color-coded pipe organ keys to fill in missing notes in songs (once the key has been won the player is free to experiment with different styles of music and instrument sounds on the organ). Scattered Volumes - Goofy has accidentally scattered books around the library floor and the player must shelve them, first in single letter order, then on shelves that don't contain all the letters, finally, using words that begin with the same letter. Armor Disaster - Pluto has broken up the suits of armor in the dining room; the player reassembles them by matching numbers and equations and their solutions, sometimes represented by dots or a grouping of decoration. Leaky Pipes - the pipes in the basement are leaking and the player must connect pipe sections before the bucket overflows. Haunted Pictures - startled by a ghostly trick, Goofy has knocked down all the nameplates from the hallway pictures; the player must sort them out first by selecting the beginning letter, then by missing letter, and finally by missing word. Haunted Gears - Mickey discovers that the bats living in an old grandfather clock have loosened its gears; the player returns them to place by finding rhyming words, opposites, and relationships between words. Disney Learning Adventure: Search for the Secret Keys comes equipped with a tutorial ghost who appears when a player seems to be struggling with an activity. Using his haunted chalkboard, this ghost explains and expands on the concepts used in the current activity in ways that a child can understand. A chart of the players progress is available from the sign-in screen. | ||

This is a different game than Dora The Explorer: Backpack Adventure. It's made with Shockwave. Help Dora collect the library books that Swiper has hidden. What you have to do is lead Dora through a pathway and collect the books. Also, Swiper can be stopped by moving Dora toward him. You can also collect special postcards by walking through the gates of the main path. This adds a bit more variety and makes the game more enjoyable. The game offers three difficulty levels to choose from based on your child's computer game experience. However, the only change you will notice between the three is the number of books that your child has to collect. Unlike other Dora's games, this one doesn't have much educational content. Dora says phrases in both English and Spanish, but there is not much interaction with her. At the end of the game, when you've found all the books, she counts them to help your child learn the numbers. | ||

When you first enter this game you are taken to a series of pages for signing in and decorating the sticker book that you can access after you earn some stickers. You are given the option to play the game fully (Backpack Adventure Mode), or to enter the Map Mode and play the mini-games in whatever order you like. The mini-games are designed to exercise some early-childhood skills; color recognition, problem solving, shape recognition, pattern completion, number recognition, classification, mousing skills. Dora the Explorer, the little heroine of the animated TV series, has a brand new backpack from her parents. You'll help her fill it with books to return to the library and it's your job to help her get there. As you make your way through Dora's world, you'll meet some of her friends - Swiper the fox, who is notorious for swiping things and must be told firmly three times not to; Boots, Dora's monkey sidekick; Isa the iguana, who needs help finding a tool; Benny the bull and his fabulous balloon - you'll guide him to pick up some more friends; and others. As you complete each task along the way, the Fiesta Trio - a musical bug, frog, and snail - dances onto the screen bringing you a virtual sticker for your book. Gameplay is through the mouse - point and click. At any time you can click on the Map character to find out where you are, and the level icon to adjust the difficulty. You also have a back arrow, to take you back a screen or to the sign-in page. When you do go back to your sign-in page, you can click on your sticker book, choose a background, and decorate it with the stickers you've earned.

A Playing, Coloring and Listening Adventure with Pardoes the Magician. At the start of the 2002 Efteling theme park's season it was for sale in the shops in the park for €10. The Pardoes Star Chamber functions as the menu of the CD-ROM where you can choose from puzzling, coloring, a word game, music, or listening to a story. There are several puzzles. A snake twists itself into a knot that you have to solve. There are seven different sliding puzzles of increasing difficulty, and ten different jigsaw puzzles with irregularly shaped pieces. Pardoes' story can be read and listened to. There are also fifteen coloring pages: ten that you can color in yourself, and five that you can make from an example and where you have to use exactly the right colors. In the word game you have to hang clothes with letters on them on a washing line. With the classic car game you have to avoid obstacles and arrive at the finish line before you run out of gas. There are two levels: normal and super. To further strengthen the bond with the world of Pardoes, Rattar also appears from time to time to bring something with him, which you can then conjure up again. To return to the Star Chamber from a game, call Belle Bel, which will fly you back. | ||

Jay Jay the Jet Plane is the hero of a CGI children's cartoon series featuring a group of animated aircraft and their friends. The action in this game begins at the fictional Tarrytown Airport, Jay Jay's home, where he is excited to hear that he's almost ready to take on his own route and fly solo. Before he can do that, however, he must fly a few more training flights to six locations where he will pick up packages, only then returning to Tarrytown. The player uses the mouse to point and click - when the player needs to pick up an item the game uses click-and-stick, a common feature in children's games, where one click picks up an item and it sticks to the mouse without holding down a button, and another click releases it. On-screen icons are very simple stylized buttons; on the bottom left is an arrow to go back, on the bottom right are a question mark for help and an X to exit. During the activities you also have level icons (1, 2, and 3) on the right. You can choose your destination from the map in any order you like; there are six places you can go to, plus question marks that take you to short informational videos with Brenda Blue, a human aircraft mechanic. At each destination there's a game to play: At Ridgeway, Jay Jay can't get to the hangar to pick up the package because the runway is in terrible shape; pick puzzle shapes from a tray to patch holes on the runway. At higher levels there are more holes and gaps; At Lightning Bug Lake, Jay Jay offers to help Tracy judge a light show contest; watch the patterns a pair of lightning bugs make, then pick the pair that matches them exactly. At higher levels the patterns are more complex; At Sandy Landing, Big Jake needs help measuring the height of some cargo in the hangar; instead of traditional measurements, pile up objects to reach the same height, then click on the number of objects you used. For example, it took three oilcans to equal the height of a rake. At the highest level, estimate the quantity first; At Frosty Pine, Herky the Helicopter skis down an icy slope to pick up a package Jay Jay cannot get to; as he calls out a number, click on the flag that matches it. At the highest level solve an addition problem; At Smiling Meadow, Jay Jay helps Snuffy the Skywriter pick apples; sort apples into baskets by color. At higher levels, you sort by color and quantity, or read the spelled-out color; At O'Malley's Ranch, Jay Jay and Old Oscar play a game of I Spy while waiting for a package; pick the animal that Oscar describes out of a group. At higher levels there are more specific clues and more choices. When all six packages have been picked up, you can return to Tarrytown airport, where Jay Jay gets a celebratory surprise - the packages are for him, and each one contains a picture the player can color and print. | ||

Based on the PBS series, Jay Jay the Jet Plane features Jay Jay, Tracy, Herky, Brenda Blue, and many other regular characters from the show as they try to save the Sparkleberry Tree of Pangabula Island. Specially designed for children ages three to seven, the gentle jet and his friends teach a wholesome lesson in conservation as they gather water, food, soil, fresh air, sunshine, and a special ingredient for the sad and unsparkly Sparkleberry Tree. Already targeted to younger children, the three difficulty settings help tailor the game even better to its audience. A child of four with enough hand-eye coordination to operate a mouse could successfully complete the game on level one with little help, while a seven year-old with computer experience could play on level three to face a stronger challenge. In each activity, children identify letters and colors and practice putting letters in alphabetical order, solve mazes, follow directions, and can learn about nature while watching short video clips of Brenda Blue and her "Think About It" commentary. To obtain the items necessary to save the tree, players visit Cloud King's Castle, Terrytown Quarry, Terrytown Hardware, Smog Patch, Pangabula Island Forest, and Savannah in the clouds. After helping Jay Jay and the others complete the activity in each location, one of the six items for the Sparkleberry Tree is awarded. For example, players can get the fresh air at the Smog Patch by helping Herky find his way through a maze of clouds and blow away the smog with his propellers. Food can be obtained at Tarrytown Hardware by catching letters in a barrel to spell a word. Once players have the water, food, soil, fresh air, sunshine, and the special ingredient, they can fly to the tree and make it sparkle once more. When the tree is colorful and sparkly again, it will bear Sparkleberries of different colors, which children can click to create musical notes. They can choose to create their own music or follow along with color-coded berries to play familiar tunes, such as "Mary Had a Little Lamb." An option to record and play back the songs is also available. | ||

The game focuses on a racing tournament run on scooters that takes place in JumpStart Ville, the hometown of all the characters in this version of the canon. Jimmy, a typical school bully, pushes a dog named Squirt, causing him to fall off and break his scooter just before the tournament starts. Since the prize for winning the race is a new, "totally tricked out" Super Scooter, the other protagonistic characters decide they must win the tournament so they can give the new scooter to Squirt. Jimmy is very good at scooter races, however, so in order to win, the characters must upgrade their scooters with gadgets. The basic goal of the game is to win the JumpStart Ville scooter tournament; specifically, the user must win two races on each track while playing the track's owner. The first race is a race against two other also-playable characters controlled by CPUs, while the second race is against one of these characters and Jimmy as well. By playing educational activities, the user earns "power-ups" that can be transformed into gadgets and track obstacles via machines created by Hopsalot. Placing all of the available obstacles on a track will unlock it. The obstacles, however, are difficult to get past unless gadgets are added to scooters, and end up slowing the user down if a gadget is not used. Ideally, all of the gadgets should be added to every character's scooter. After all of the main characters' tracks are completed, Jimmy's track is unlocked, and the game is completed when it is won. As in other JumpStart games, the difficulty level of the problems in JumpStart Advanced 1st Grade can be set to three different levels. In addition, the gameplay level can also be set for some games. Higher gameplay levels generally mean more enemies and faster speed. Revised versions were later released - v2.0 and then in 2010 v3.0. | ||

|
Little Raven and Friends: The Tricycle Story is based on a series of children's books by author Nele Moost and illustrator Annet Rudolph. When Little Raven happens upon Eddy Bear's bike, he wonders aloud what it is like to ride, and he just can't resist the temptation to hop on and take it for a spin. Well, the inevitable happens - he crashes into a tree, scattering tricycle parts everywhere! Even though he'd like to blame it on the tree, deep down he knows it's all his fault. Being a little worried about consequences, however, he needs help deciding whether or not he should lie to Eddy Bear. After all, Eddy's going to be really mad. Thus begins the first of several such decisions the player must help Little Raven make in this game; weighing questions about whether to help out a friend even though he's "too busy", whether to stop and refill a bug jar he knocked over, whether to share his cookies, even though that means there will be less for him, and others. The player is asked to make a yes or no choice in each instance, and if he makes a "bad" one, Little Raven is sent immediately to the Time-Out Cave - a hollowed out tree where he must sit and reconsider the choices. A good decision at this point will bring him right back into the game. The player's goal now is to collect all the parts to Eddy Bear's tricycle by visiting Raven's friends, some of whom are not entirely willing to give up their precious finds and will require some form of assistance or encouragement by way of mini-games. Actions are performed with the mouse - point, click, and drag. In some games the cursor becomes a grasping paw - to collect beetles and to make the weights. The cheese-pushing game is played using the four arrow keys to move the miniature Raven. When all the parts are collected and the tricycle reassembled, there is a final racing game where the player can speed up or slow down using the mouse buttons, as well as move side to side to avoid bushes. This game is suggested for 3 years old and up - the questions it poses are universal, dealing with honesty, generosity, consequences and peer relations. | ||

“Dandelion Advent Calendar” is based on the children’s series on German ZDF. Having entered the game, we find ourselves in a superbly drawn location - a trailer decorated for Christmas, standing in the middle of a winter forest, but not a fake one, but quite residential and long lived in. You can walk around it and see what’s behind you, you can go up to the roof (there’s a piano there), you can step aside and look at the forest, or you can go inside. Locations are filled with active points, hovering the mouse over them causes various animations. Eagle-eyed players can start collecting tiny Christmas tree decorations hidden in the corners - everything found is sent to a box standing at the entrance to the trailer. If you enter the game in February, April, September or any other month except December, its content will end there. But on the first of December, when you hover the cursor over it, one of the active points will begin to glow with a star - here is the first “window” of the Advent calendar with the first gift. On the second of December another one will appear, and so on. It's date sensitive in the operating system and involves going through all the canons of the traditional Advent calendar. In total, twenty-four gifts await us here, each of which will also have to be found by carefully examining eight screens. These could be games, desktop wallpapers, postcard editors, collections of instructions for crafts and recipes, educational articles. Let's look at each: 1. The very first “gift” is a very simple editor in which you can create a list of desired gifts for Christmas and print it. 2. Illustrated audio story about the life of trees in the forest and preparations for the winter holidays. However, sometimes instead of a story, the postcard editor opens - you can select a background, draw, glue appliques, add inscriptions. 3. install a magnificent screensaver - a location with a trailer from the game, in which there is heavy snowfall. 4. Three instructions for Christmas-themed paper crafts. 5. Background information about Christmas characters in the German tradition. 6. And here is the first game - catch. By controlling a sock on a string, you need to catch all sorts of edible gifts. Chocolate and candy cane will bring one point each, fruit - three, nut - as many as five. But a bunch of grass will take away three points. The game lasts one and a half minutes, after which the result is summed up. 7. Crafts again. Now it is proposed to build a trailer from the game using cardboard and plasticine. 8. A set of wallpapers for your desktop. 9. Here we will be told how to create and decorate Christmas candles ourselves. 10. Various useful information. Here you can learn about snowmen and snowflakes, how to build an igloo, and where different animals live in the forest - the latter contains an interactive where you need to place animals on a scrolling panoramic picture. 11. First-person sleigh ride simulator (!), purely arcade, but very cute due to the fact that it is made in the same style as the rest of the game, and not in some 3D or pixel graphics. You need to collect gnomes and earn points by avoiding rocks, snowmen and Christmas trees. After three collisions, the game ends. 12. More crafts. We create magnets, vases and beautiful winter houses. 13. Another educational block with articles about what ice is, its properties, and so on. 14. We make Christmas tree decorations, glowing jars and stickers. 15. We make a small holiday message of a humorous nature in the editor. 16. First-person virtual shooting gallery. The goal is to defeat the snowman by throwing snowballs at him. At first the enemy is very nimble and skillfully dodges our projectiles, but after being hit by snow several times, he shrinks, loses his hat and stops moving, resigned to his fate. Then finishing off the snowman is not difficult. 17. It's time to make Christmas desserts. Recipes. 18. Quiz. 19. Here you can play a simple Christmas melody on a virtual piano. If you can, of course. 20. Gomoku with cookies instead of chips. You can play both with the computer and with a living person sitting next to you. Or with yourself. 21. A set of six electronic postcards that can be sent directly from the game by e-mail. 22. We learn about Rudolph the reindeer, about the peculiarities of celebrating Christmas in different countries (including Russia), and also listen to how to say “Merry Christmas!” in different languages - and in all except Japanese (because it is spoken by a different voice), it sounds with a strong German accent. 23. Background information on the physical properties of ice. It is even suggested that you conduct the experiments yourself. 24. Flying plane with a side view. You need to control the Christmas team, avoid crows, clouds and collisions with buildings, earning points by throwing gifts into pipes. | ||

| Moop And Dreadly: The Treasure On Bing Bong Island | Hulabee Entertainment / Plaid Banana Entertainment | [top] | |

From a group of former Humongous Entertainment employees comes a kid-oriented adventure in the style of such classics as the Freddi Fish and Putt-Putt series. Moop, a giant purple thingy who can't speak English but does most of the thinking between the two, and Dreadly, a preteen buccaneer looking for treasure, search for the Golden Glockenspiel, but face competition from the dastardly Captain Trench. As is classic with these sorts of games, much hilarity does, in fact, ensue. The game is divided over six chapters featuring colorful, cartoony graphics and easy, lighthearted puzzles. The developer of this game, Ron Gilbert, has a resume as long as your arm. He is responsible for the Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion, better known as SCUMM, which changed the face of the adventure game world as we know it. He worked in the early days for LucasArts, creating “little known” titles Maniac Mansion, Zak McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders, the Indiana Jones series, Loom, the Monkey Island series, Day of the Tentacle, and Full Throttle. Moving on to Humungous and then to Hulabee, he created many of their Putt Putt and Freddie Fish titles. This game gives the impression that it's an homage to such 1960's children's classic cartoons as Gerald McBoing Boing and Beany and Cecil. | ||

You play the role of Mike or Molly walking around the town. Here you meet the Lord Mayor, who is worried about his town: People are irritable, always in a rush, stressed out. And this is definitely not good for a man whose career depends on his popularity among the people. There are certainly many different buildings in the town, but there aren't really any shops, and neither the park nor the museum really has anything to offer. You have to help the Lord Mayor develop the town and make its inhabitants content and happy. By helping, you collect stars, and you are rewarded with more shops and other kinds of extensions. You also have to decide which colour the town hall should be, or whether there should be benches or flower beds in the park. But the selection of one extension means the exclusion of another, which you won't have the opportunity to get until next time you play. So your town will look different each time you play, and for this reason the game can be played over and over again. For the smallest children, reality is just as full of mysteries as a really good fairytale. In The Town isn't just a game with tasks, but also a playground in which discovering and uncovering the mysteries of daily life play an important part. The city is studded with videos and photos; what happens in the bakery, at the fire station etc. The Mike and Molly's Adventures series supports a type of game-play, which is very much like children's own. The focus is not on performance or the riddles you have to solve to progress in the game. Instead you find yourself on a big organic play interface, where you decide how the game should develop at your own pace. The tasks are built up in such a way that it is possible for everybody in the target group to choose tasks that suit their level of development. There is fun to be had by both the youngest children and those who are a little older. Behind the whole experience is the story of a Lord Mayor who has found thought. He needs your help. Maybe you are good enough to win the Lord Mayor's gold statue as a reward. In The City is the second game in the Mike and Molly's Adventures series. | ||

This is based on a Disney television series that is in turn based on characters created by the author A. A. Milne. The characters in the game are animated to resemble the Bunraku puppetry style of the series. As the game begins, Pooh and his friends are gathered in the Hundred Acre Wood discussing the fine-ness of the day when Eeyore announces he has lost his tail. The friends quickly offer to help him find it, and the player can select any of five characters to set off on a search. Each set of searches soon leads to an activity: Bounce with Tigger - bounce Tigger through an apple tree to knock down matching letter apples; Piglet moves back and forth to catch the falling apples. Tigger and Piglet add together the caught and fallen apples after the tree is emptied. Pooh's Alphabet Stream - Pooh and Eeyore set Christopher Robin's toy boat afloat; move it back and forth to "catch" objects and their starting letters as it sails downstream. Rabbit's Kitchen - select from a cookie cookbook at Rabbit's house; follow recipe measurements and then decorate the treat. Sing a Song with Kessie - Kessie is looking for the right words to finish her songs; select the correct items from her description.

| Postman Pat: Package of Fun | Q&D Multimedia Ltd / Focus Multimedia Ltd. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a package of four mini games aimed at the three to six year old age range, each game addresses an element of the National Curriculum. It is a very simple game which loads to a picture of Postman Pat in Mrs Goggins' post office. By moving the cursor around the screen the player can find the four large hotspots each of which triggers a separate activity. Jess the cat triggers an activity in which the player monitors Jess' thirst and hunger, as shown in two progress bars. Feeding Jess and attending to the cat's needs satisfies two elements of Science Key Stage 1, namely that humans and animals need food and water to stay alive and how to treat animals with care and sensitivity. This activity lasts for six minutes after which the player is shown a progress report. Clicking on Postman Pat triggers a memory game. There are three levels to this game which is of the Simon Says variety. In level one the player sees two characters each of whom has a characteristic movement and sound. The player has to remember the sequence of movements and reproduce it by clicking on the characters. Levels two and three are the same as level one but with three and four characters respectively. This activity helps develop memory skills and encourages the use of mental calculation which are required for Mathematics Key Stage 1. The Postcards in Pat's hand trigger a matching game. This is a one or two player game which is a variant of a Concentration game with three levels and three different sets of pictures. In level one there are six pairs to match up, level two has nine pairs and level three has twelve pairs. Level three also has a timer. The pictures also affect the difficulty of the game. The easier set shows characters from the TV programme, the second set shows different people but the pairs are matched on the hat they are wearing. The final set is called 'Dance Moves' and is a series of pictures of Postman Pat in different positions. This activity also develops memory skills needed in Mathematics Key Stage 1. The final mini game is 'Making Parcels' and it is triggered by clicking on Mrs. Goggins. This is single player three level mini game where the player has to make parcels that match those already on the shelves. To do this they are presented with a machine, by clicking on the correct sequence of buttons they are able to load a parcel into the machine. Once loaded they are able to click on more buttons to change its colour and still more buttons to load the parcel onto the right shelf. Level one has the player match two parcels by colour, level two introduces another machine into the process, there is now one to change the pattern and another to change the colour, and again two parcels must be matched. Level three is the same as level two but there are three parcels to be matched. This addresses elements of Design and Technology Key Stage 1. The games are played entirely with the mouse. There are sound effects and, of course, the Postman Pat song. | ||

This is Timmy's fourth appearance on the computer screen. His first three appearances were in story book-cum-activity centre games: Timmy Climbs the Wall, Timmy the Dream Hunter and Timmy's Birthday Party. This one, Timmy's Sea Adventure, is his first adventure outing. Inspired by David Grossman stories the game opens at Timmy's bath time. His father reaches into the tub and pulls the plug. The water swirls in the plughole and so does Timmy's bright pink fish. As it disappears Timmy wonders what would happen if someone pulled the plug in the sea. Move on to bedtime. In his dream the pink fish cries out. Timmy totters into the bathroom to find his pink friend down the plughole ... someone HAS pulled the plug in the sea! It's a happy mixture of inventory based adventure puzzling jumbled together with games and activities. The activities include a memory matching game, a space, or more rightly, a trash invaders game, a peg jumping puzzle, a Pacman Maze, a cake decorating exercise, and the like. Where relevant the games have three difficulty levels making them suitable for a range of ages, and sometimes they provide useful inventory items to help solve other problems in the story. But very little is for free, of course J , it costs a 'shell' to play many of the games, so there's the added imperative of shell hunting to increase the fun factor of the exploration. Of course Timmy's ultimate challenge on this journey is to find the missing plug so that the Sea Lion can pull his foot out of the plughole and take a rest. This involves collecting the ingredients for baking a cake, finding the Turtle's lost shell, freeing the Teddy Bear Fish from a net and so on. All the characters are cute and chirpy and they are voiced very well, pity they don't have names to bring them more alive. Overall the graphics are friendly and clear with a colourful soundtrack to match, plus a song or two. | ||

Based on PBS Kids' television series, Zoboomafoo: Creature Quest is a PC treasure hunt girdled with educational games and activities for young children. Staged inside Animal Junction, children interact with Zoboo and the Kratt Brothers while completing eight different activity games and watching video clips containing animal facts from the show. Each completed game earns one piece of a map that leads players to hidden treasure in Animal Junction. Activity games can be set to play at three difficulty levels and include matching, pattern and number recognition as well as a coloring activity. Navigating Animal Junction with the computer mouse, children can click on different animals and items to initiate actions. Some animals will lead children to the games that earn map pieces. For example, by clicking on an animated coyote, players are lead to the Counting Coyote game that asks children to match numbers, while the shadow of a giraffe takes kids to a campout where pictures are matched with their shadow shapes. Color recognition is emphasized as players use a tenrec's quills to pop bubbles of particular colors, and pattern recognition is taught with a tongue-thrusting chameleon. As map pieces are earned, they are stored and accessed by a basket icon. Clicking the basket displays a jigsaw puzzle screen and by working the puzzle, children can find the location of the buried treasure. An included coloring activity features paintable pictures of different animal habitats and animal stamps to use within the pictures. Each picture can also be printed for children who prefer a crayon medium. Other features include familiar Zoboomafoo songs and animal videos, a creature fact book, and cut scenes of Zobooland. | ||

|
Those engaging and adorable little Zoombinis go back to Zoombini Isle, only to find that their home has been destroyed by Bloats, and the essential moths and critters (Zerbles) who sustained life on the island have vanished. To restore the delicate balance of life, children guide crews of 12 Zoombinis and their caterpillars through a series of mind-bending puzzles that will rejuvenate Zoombini Isle. When they first get to the island, children have to figure out the ball-dropping pattern of a chute and wheel to catapult the Zoombinis onto the island cliffs. They decode hieroglyphs to get each Zoombini through the gate, and guide the moths across flower beds according to certain attributes. While the games are unusually thought-provoking, some take several trials to figure out, even with the nicely narrated help system. In a Zerble feeding activity, for example, testers didn't realize that there were two ways to unveil the preferences of the little critters (using Venn diagrams) and struggled for too long. Kids found it tough to accurately estimate the time using a revolving Earth, and needed lots of help (as did their parents) when trying to figure out correct sequences in a planting activity. All things considered, however, the activities are responsive and addicting, and really get kids to use their heads. After the Zoombini crew gets through to the Zerble and moth hangout, it's time for a new crew to take the journey. In fact, there are 240 Zoombinis that must get through the games. That means that kids have to play the activities at least 20 times (more when the individual activities aren't completed the first time)! | ||

This hentai game visual novel is a sequel that revolves around a young man given the task of "training in" four Miko (Japanese shrine maidens) for a ritual dance in which they must perform sexual acts at the dance's climax. You are Kensuke Tsukikage, the son of a family that runs the famous Tsukigake Shinto Shrine. One day your grandfather, chief priest of the shrine, introduces you to a beautiful girl: Koruri Hanayashiki, a young shrine-maiden-in-training who will be studying here. It's quite an honor to be able to train at such an ancient and famous religeous site as your shrine. A party is held with your childhood friends Nanao and Shiina to welcome Koruri-chan. At the party, your grandfather makes an announcement: the upcoming harvest festival will be broadcast live on television, including the climax of the festival, the beautiful "dance of the shrine maidens." There's just one complication: it's the custom at this shrine that the shrine maidens have sex as part of their graceful festival dance. To make the special event a success, it's vital that you train all the girls in the erotic act of the dance in time for the festival, and choose your true love in the process. Because the girl who you take as your wife will help save the honor and tradition of the Tsukikage Shrine. You play the interactive game by moving through the game story and making choices that affect the outcome, allowing for many different potential endings and excellent replay value. The game's USA distributer changed three of the four character's ages from 15, 17 and 16 to 20, 18 and 18. The english version came out in 2004. | ||

Da Capo (commonly abbreviated as D.C.) is an adult Japanese visual novel developed by Circus. Da Capo is an Italian musical term meaning "from the beginning", and the game was such named with parts of the storyline going into loop before approaching the "true" end. Da Capo began as a series of prelude short scenarios in the Suika fandisc Archimedes no Wasuremono, and since the initial release, there have been numerous different versions released for the PC and PlayStation 2 over the years with updated scenarios and characters. The gameplay in Da Capo follows a plot line which offers pre-determined scenarios with courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the seven female main characters. Da Capo centers around the period before Jun'ichi Asakura graduates from the affiliated section and enters the high school section of Kazami Academy where Sakura Yoshino returns to the island after moving to America several years before. Most of the main stories revolve around the magical unwilting sakura tree and its powers. In 2008, an English version was released. | ||

The story is set in post-revolutionary France in early 19th-century. Although the specific date is never given, Napoleon Bonaparte is still described as being in power. A character (see below) remarks that it is several years before the 20th anniversary of the French Revolution, placing the game's events in the years before 1809. The protagonist is Guys, a young boy from a poor family, who gets caught for stealing candy from a Paris store. However, after being railroaded by a city detective named Guildias, Guys finds himself accused, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a man he never met. From that point on, most Enzai takes place inside a dark, claustrophobic, dirty prison. In there, Guys experiences humiliation and torture of various kinds, much of it involving sexual acts such as rape and forcible sodomy. The primary goal of the game is for the player (as Guys) to locate evidence and witnesses that can exonerate him of the murder, unveil the true killer, and get him released from prison. Secondary goals include learning the killer's true motives, finding out the backstory of the murder, keeping Guys both physically and psychologically healthy, and forming a romantic bond with other male NPCs in the prison. | ||

This continues directly from where the original Guren ended. After the fateful battle with Yasha, a new threat appears: a blond young man who has apparently come from another time. Lee Rekka and his girl-only Guren brigade (now fully assembled) have to figure out why and how such a man ended up in medieval Japan, defeating more demons on the way. Despite being a direct sequel story-wise, the gameplay in Shura has been greatly simplified, to the extent of not being a RPG any more. There are still turn-based battles, but they occur only against "boss" enemies, when the story dictates it, and involve little strategy but choosing the strongest attacks for all the characters. There are no experience points, no equipment, no items, and even no movement of any kind in the game - it just takes the player from place to place, allowing him only to click on the only available location on the map and occasionally slightly branch the story by making a decision. | ||

Kikokugai: The Cyber Slayer is a Japanese cyberpunk visual novel by Nitroplus. It's Nitroplus' third game, and the script is written by Gen Urobuchi. This story takes place in an alternative future of Shanghai where money and power rules the city. Mafia groups hire Kung Fu masters and dominate the society. There are two types of Kung Fu masters, those who mastered their internal qi, and those who mastered their physical skills. The qi masters are able to output a stronger energy coming from their life itself, but it took a long time to master it. It was easier to just train their physical skills, but there was a limit to how strong a human body can be. So there were a balance of many average physical skill masters and few strong qi masters. However that balance broke when cybernetics came into play. Kung Fu masters would replace their body with robotic parts and attain a strength that a normal human can never achieve. That's how no one tried to become qi masters anymore when they can easily become powerful by using cybernetics, and qi masters decreased in numbers.The main character of the story Kong Taoluo, a qi master, used to be the top assassin of the leading mafia group. He was betrayed and killed, or at least he was supposed to be, but now he returns to city of Shanghai for revenge and for his sister. The game was remade in 2011 with enhanced graphics, a new theme song, and character voices added. The 2011 version is also rated for ages 15 and up instead of the original game's 18+ rating. An English version of the game is planned for release by JAST USA. | ||

The seventh entry in the Rance series (since there were three Rance 4 games), begins in an embarrassing way for the hero: he is lost in a huge dungeon, with only his loyal and lovely slave Sill to help him. Little does he know that escaping the dungeon will be just the first part of a new adventure, which will involve invoking ancient powers, meeting an old rival, and of course, having fun with various girls. The game introduces new features to the standard gameplay formula of the series. The dungeon navigation is done from a "wheel screen"; the player has to spin the wheel, and as a result Rance and his party will advance to a new location. Even though the player can choose the speed of turning the wheel, and field representing different locations are displayed on it, landing on a new location depends mostly on luck. Rance can encounter a random enemy, find a treasure chest, trigger an event, etc. The battles are somewhat simplified, using a standard turn-based engine without the strategic element of moving on the battle field. As always in Rance games, expect to see some hardcore erotic images. In 2016, an English version was released. | ||

It is Sven's objective to please all sheep within the setting until they burst with joy. The shepherd Lars, his dog Wotan and a girl called Bromse are trying to keep Sven doing so. There are four episodes divided into 45 levels that are different-looking and bigger levels for the first time. The game offers many new animals such as pigs and chickens to become Sven's love interests. In this game, Brømse appears for the first time. There are also some levels set inside a flying saucer. Every level has to be cleared within a set time limit. To make things easier, Sven can collect extra items that give him special abilities for a short while, e.g. a rocket that makes him faster, a mushroom that makes him lethargic and a gift that provides him with a little extra time. | ||

Long, long ago, there was a world in which mages and humans existed in harmony. Deep contrasts in their two cultures, however, caused differences that could not be overcome between the two races. The humans feared the great power of the mages, and hunted them, trying to erase their kind from the earth. God felt pity for their plight and created a world of magic for them, which they could go to in peaceful exile. In this way the mages faded from the Earth, and all contact between the two peoples ceased. Each continued on their own paths, the humans that of civilization, and mages that of magic. A few hundred years have passed since that time, and the mages are hopeful that, once again, the two races can live in harmony together. In the hope of finding a way to bridge their differences, the mages send out their young acolytes for training in the world of the humans. If the younger generations of the two peoples can find a way of connecting, perhaps the acolytes could gain important knowledge that will enable the two groups to live together again. This year three young wizards will cross over into the world of humans... Two of them are elite, and one a total drop out. Can they reunite the two peoples of Earth and the World of Magic? | ||

This is a Japanese adult visual novel. Waking up injured, a man finds himself in a small village after being rescued by an apprentice physician. Having no memory of who he is and a mask he cannot take off, he decides to live with the other villagers peacefully. But peace is fragile, as a single event in their village plunges himself and his fellow villagers into a path of war. A DVD-ROM edition was later released on December 12, 2003. Unlike most turn-based strategy games, the story is linear and there is no voice acting in the PC version. A PlayStation 2 port, featuring a new battle system by Flight Plan (of the Summon Night series) came out in 2006 and included voice acting and several other changes to enhance gameplay but the adult graphics and scenes were removed. There were also manga and anime spinoffs. In 2008, a fan-made English translation patch was released. In 2021, an official English port for Windows was released. | ||

Wind: A Breath of Heart is a visual novel by Japanese game studio Minori. The story focuses on Mokoto. Makoto was born in Kazune city where he and his sister, Hinata, played with Minamo. After his father’s death he and his sister as well as Minamo’s family move away. When his family moves for the second time, he gives Minamo a harmonica and the two of them pinky-swear to meet again some day and marry. The game begins ten years later. Makoto and Hinata return to Kazune and enroll at the High School where Makoto is reunited with Minamo. He learns that many people from the city have unique special powers. Hinata, for example, can jump higher than most 2-story buildings. Minamo can control the wind, Nozomi can create shockwaves with edged weapons, and Wakaba can cure wounds and slow diseases. The town is also home to a long series of murders and mysterious disappearances. Professor Akihito, Minamo’s father, research into the city’s mysteries in an attempt to understand what caused these powers to develop, begins a chain of events and it is the player’s goal to help Makoto uncover these mysteries while forging bonds with one of the five girls. | ||

In this game, you control a successful doctor who left his quiet hometown for Tokyo. There, he had a successful career at the central hospital, which made him forget his past life in the province. But an inexplicable desire to return overcomes him, so he takes the next train to his hometown. He finds that many things have changed. Other people are living in his former house. His old lovers have a new life. Little children have turned into pretty young girls. But some people remember him, and not everyone is happy about him leaving the town and moving to Tokyo. Now, the doctor wants to establish good relationship with the female inhabitants of the town... which for him, can only mean one thing. It plays like a traditional Japanese adventure game, without exploration, puzzles, etc. Text boxes are displayed on top of 3D images or pre-rendered backgrounds. The seduction of the girls does not depend much on the hero's actions (even though the player is required to make decisions from time to time). Once in the seduction mode, the player is able to physically interact with the girl, by placing, clicking, and dragging the mouse button to imitate actual movements (for example, unbutton a shirt, caress a body part, etc.). | ||

Another War is a RPG created by Polish developers. It takes place during World War II, the protagonist being a resistance fighter in the German-occupied territories. The player will visit France, Germany, Yugoslavia, USSR, and Iceland during the course of the game. The game's interface is modeled after classic isometric RPGs, closely resembling that of Baldur's Gate. Experience points are earned by defeating enemies (in real-time combat) and completing quests. The game is rather heavy on text, and most conversations allow the player to choose between different answers and/or actions. The game has 2D rendered graphics in an isometric view with pre-rendered characters. The game features many allusions to classic books and movies, such as Raiders of the Lost Ark, Allo, Allo, Catch-22, Saving Private Ryan, and The Dirty Dozen amongst others. | ||

Arx Fatalis is a great subterranean 3D dungeon crawl from French developer Arkane styled after the classic Ultima Underworld. It's in first-person view and highly atmospheric. It's a shame it was released in same year as Neverwinter Nights and Elder Scrolls III:Morrowind so it didn't get the audience it deserved. You play as a character who's lost his memory and awakens in a small cell. The game takes place in a world where the sun has fizzled out and civilization has picked up and moved beneath the surface of the earth, since it's warmer down there. For fans of dark games like Thief, they'll enjoy this too. You're able to pick up just about anything that isn't nailed down, you can use the local flora to brew various potions and such, you can move or throw things around, and if you look down, you can even see your feet. You create your character by applying ability points to four core attributes and skill points to a number of different abilities, from close combat and magic to stealth, intuition, and object knowledge. Gaining experience levels lets you further improve these attributes and abilities. Your character has to eat throughout the game to survive. The game's combat and magic systems work very well. You'll be able to find and use some ranged weapons, but much of the combat takes place at close range, where you'll use things like swords, clubs, and axes to execute thrusting, slashing, and chopping moves against your assailants. You cast spells using proper hand gestures. You first need to find the proper runes, and you then trace the symbols on the runes in the air using your mouse. There's great sound and enemy animations and the paths are not too linear so you can explore many areas. Very highly recommended! | ||

Avernum 3 is the third installment of the Avernum series and is an overhaul of Exile 3: Ruined World. In it, you create a party of 1-4 characters and play as one of the first bands to return to the surface from years of exile in the prison caves of Avernum. Rather than the paradise you expected, you find a world struck by sickness and plagued by monsters. The game is very open-ended, and your party can attempt to save the world or just set up shop and live out their days as merchants. | ||

Rather than taking the traditional grid-based strategy game route, this takes place entirely in real time, with all movement and attacks decided by the player on the fly. To keep player frustration to a minimum four different AI defaults are available at all times, so should a character come under enemy attack they will not stand idly by until they die. As is to be expected from the genre the game offers more stats than you can shake a stick at and a variety of ways to customise your team to your liking. Dialogue takes place using the usual static artwork with dialogue box, and Japanese voiceovers. In addition to the story mode the game also offers competitive multiplayer from the outset over both LAN and TCP/IP connections. | ||

This is a remake of the classic dungeon-crawler RPG Dinosaur, and is a first-person RPG in which you take the role of the famous warrior Ash, who is constantly haunted by the spirits of his deceased enemies and comrades. As the game starts he finds himself summoned to the world of Zamhan by a magic butterfly, and thus he sets out to explore the land, completing quests for the town inhabitants and clearing dungeons with the aid of a few companions you can find in the game. Gameplay-wise, the game uses first-person view for exploration, with all movement being grid-based. You can freely explore each town to buy items, get quests, etc. and then you go dungeon-crawling for loot and experience. Combat is turn-based and actually takes place in a separate screen, in which the attacking monsters are presented as cards that await your commands to attack, defend, cast a spell, etc. The Windows remake revamps all of the graphics, most notably replacing the main view with polygonal graphics, and also includes an arranged soundtrack and mouse support. New features have been added, such as an auto-map and auto-targeting functions, as well as the ability to select different formations for your party. | ||

Many thousand years ago the Council of Seven in the magic land Rivellon sacrificed himself in the fight against a group of disloyal magicians, who had passed over to the dark side of magic. To remember the Council of Seven, the "Divine Order" was founded to pass on the knowledge of the wise men to the next generations. Two thousand years later signs such as civil unrest, war, hatred and greed indicate that the dark side has become strong again and that they are preparing a new attack on Rivellon. The prophecies of the wise men had mentioned a divine saviour of the Seven Races. This person shall be found and blessed in a secret ceremony before he/she falls into the enemys hands. You are, of course, "The Chosen One" according to the prophecy. But before you can venture out to slay evil, you must be blessed as the Divine Savior. Divine Divinity is an isometric 2D RPG similar to the style of Diablo, set in a completely original fantasy universe. The entire game world consists of over 20,000 screens, each one being a seamless transition into the next with weather effects and day/night cycles. Many subquests and nonlinear gameplay allow much exploration and replayability. Some of the game's features include six character classes with nearly a hundred skills to learn, over 100 different types of creatures and 150 unique NPCs. There's almost 500 skill levels to learn. The interface is among the most useful in any RPGs. The controls are simple, yet intuitive. An automap and journal makes sure you always know where you are and where you're supposed to be going. | ||

Dungeon Odyssey is an RPG where you will adventure to far off lands and encounter a multitude of different creatures. But once you complete the game, the fun is not over. Dungeon Odyssey creates a random world for you each time you play. So no two games are ever the same. And to add to the fun, the game is completely customizable (moddable) so that players can create their own modules for others to play. You will become a character within the game and will play the role of that character as you venture through the world. You will have one main quest to complete in the module, and many other smaller quests to complete if you wish. As you decide on a style of playing, you can shape your character towards that style with different items, skills, and spells. Seven character classes: Fighter, Thief, Paladin, Ranger, Mage, Priest, Druid. Nineteen character attributes! Rich gaming environment, built with bitmaps for easy modding. A multitude of controls that would be daunting if designed by anyone other than Aaron Hall... More items than we can count! Skills and spells. Yep, you guessed it, more than we care to count... Over 40 different monsters. Everything that is important is included in editable text files for easy modding. | ||

Dungeon Siege is a direct descendant of the grandfather of all of today's Hack'n'Slay "roleplaying" games, Diablo. You control one or more heroes in a gigantic 3D modeled fantasy world, slaying hundreds of monsters, casting spells and gathering experience points and valuable items. The story is as simple as it is in the game's predecessors: you are a humble, yet unnamed farmer, whose lands are devastated by the evil Krug. Of course, you can't let this just happen to you, so you set for revenge. Where Diablo (and Diablo II) had hand-drawn or pre-rendered graphics, Dungeon Siege takes the 3D approach. The entire world is rendered in real time, and there is no loading between levels - since there are no levels. It's more like the Ultima 7/8 games, where you have one gigantic world plane to roam. As already expected, there are literally hundreds of monsters already awaiting our farmer, and of course there are many different weapons and items for him (or his party members) to acquire. This as well is a different approach - you can have a real party, all controlled by yourself (or your multiplayer friends, for that matter). A free bonus pack called Yesterhaven was later released as an extension to the gameplay and story of The Kingdom of Ehb and the Utraean Peninsula. It's a multiplayer-only short story, which does not require a pre-existing character, nor any previous experience with Dungeon Siege and can be played in Normal mode as appropriate with new characters, or saved characters from previous Dungeon Siege play. A movie adaptation was made in 2007 by the infamous director Uwe Boll called In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale and starred Jason Statham. |

| Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom | Capcom / Game Research & Institute Co. Ltd. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is the first of two arcade games created by Capcom based on the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing game and set in the Mystara campaign setting. It is a side scrolling beat 'em up with some role-playing video game elements mixed in. featuring four different characters (cleric, dwarf, elf, fighter) fighting iconic Dungeons & Dragons monsters.[2] Notable bosses include a troll that regenerates unless burned, a large black dragon, the dreaded Shadow Elf (Mystara's equivalent of the drow), a beholder, the optional superboss Flamewing (a great wyrm red dragon) and the final boss Deimos (an archlich). The gameplay is more technical than the average on beat'em up games. In addition to the usual basic attacks and jumping it includes blocking, strong attacks, turning attacks, dashing attacks, crouching and evading. It also requires the use of careful tactics, as most enemies have the same abilities as the heroes and can out-range them, too. The Republic of Darokin is under a terrible siege as the number of monsters and their attacks rise. A group of four adventurers step forth to rescue various areas, then are sent by the Corwyn Linton to investigate the attacks, revealed to be masterminded by the Archlich Deimos. Eventually the adventurers make their way to the Deimos' Tower of Doom and ultimately destroy him. As important as melee combat is ranged combat and the use of spells. Daggers, hammers, arrows and burning oils can be used as throwing weapons, and many enemies have similar weapons. Spells can be used by means of magical rings or by the two playable spellcasters (a cleric and an elf). It was available in Japan on pc but in 2013, Tower of Doom and its sequel Shadow over Mystara were released as part of the Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara Collection. | ||

| Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind | Bethesda Softworks | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
In the tradition of the Elder Scrolls series, Bethesda created a huge fantasy role-playing game that leaves more freedom to the player than most other games before. After being released from a prison ship at the shores of the island Vvardenfell, Morrowind heroes may do more or less what they want: follow the main quest and solve the mystery of an ancient prophecy, join any of roughly a dozen guilds and rise in their hierarchy by performing duties, or simply explore the gigantic island with its very individual cities, hundreds of dungeons and tombs, ancient ruins and mighty fortresses. Morrowind uses a two-stage skill system. Your hero’s primary stats (strength etc.) increase with each level gained, secondary abilities improve by use – the more often you jump, the more proficient you become in the Acrobatics skill. The real-time fights are simple exchanges of strikes or spells, until one combatant dies. What's annoying is the enemy's health condition is not shown. Your race and gender, but also your reputation influence the reactions of NPCs. If a character's sympathy for you is low (rated on a scale from 1 to 100), he might refuse to answer your questions; if it is high, you'll get more detailed information and better bargains in shops. Most quests involving other persons can be solved by persuasion, pick pocketing, or simply by force. Morrowind's NDL 3D game engine is powerful in drawing wide, detailed outdoor landscapes as well as complex indoor environments. Transitions are not fluent; houses and dungeons must be loaded upon entering. Graphically most notable are the cleverly textured character models and the beautiful water effects with realistic reflections. | ||

This was initially a Czech rpg sequel Brány Skeldalu II: Pátý učedník before an English version was released in 2004. Help Engeor, a student at the University of Magic, save Rovenland from the evil wizard Wahargem. In the beginning of the game Engeor accidently says something against the evil wizard and finds himself in a prison camp. His first task is to free himself from the prison so he can continue on his journey to save his country and its inhabitants. The Fifth Disciple is a magical, fantasy adventure with RPG elements. The game is point and click and the puzzles are inventory based. The RPG elements are turn based combat and leveling up. The combat involves only magic spells and there are no weapons involved in the fighting and, since the combat is turn based, the player has plenty of time to select the best strategy to win the battle. When Engeor levels up, new spells can be selected or current spells can be strengthened. It's a fine synthesis of two popular computer game styles: point-and-click adventure and fantasy RPG. The game combines the two styles in a way very similar to table games where players are heroes who complete logic and story tasks as well as fight in battles with enemies. The game alternates between solving problems through objects and communication with other characters, and move-by-move battling. For every task solved and enemy defeated, Engeor is given additional experience, which can be used to improve one of 25 available spells. Those can be applied in the course of the game during combat as well as in the adventure parts. | ||

This is an MMORPG which is played in the persistent medieval world of Vana'diel. It first was released in Japan then in 2003, the English version came out. It was the first cross-platform MMORPG, as it was also on PS2 & XBox360. Create your own character by choosing your race, gender, face, body size and job. The five unique races are: Hume, Elvaan, Tarutaru, Mithra (female only), and Galka (male only). Beginning jobs include: Warrior, Monk, Thief, White Mage, Black Mage and Red Mage. More jobs, such as Bard, Paladin, Beastmaster or Ranger, become available after certain quests are completed. Players can change their job at any time, but only in their Mog House, and each job has its own experience pool and level. They also each have unique traits that are acquired by leveling up, and their own set of abilities. The latter are not acquired by leveling, but by using scrolls bought from shops or acquired in special job quests. Each scroll requires a minimum level to be used. A second "support" job can also be set and changed at the Mog House by completing a special quest. The support job level is always maxed at the half of the main job level, rounded down. The character has access to all abilities, skills and traits from both jobs at their current level. The second job also adds to the characters stats. The maximum level a character can attain by gaining experience from battles and quest is 50, but, thanks to the game updates and add-ons, that maximum can eventually be raised to 55, 60, 65 and so forth, up to level 100 by completing the corresponding quests. At level 75, the character gains the ability to gather experience in a separate pool rather than the level pool, to earn merit points that can be spent to improve some aspects of the character. Join other players to form a party of up to six players, on even an alliance of multiple parties, on various servers to fight the evil beastmen, the other species from Vana'diel (Orcs, Goblins, Quadavs, Yagudos, etc.). You can communicate with other players in your group using text and body language. A special device called a linkshell can be used by a group of players to communicate with each other, like in a chat channel. Traveling through Vana'diel can be done by foot, on airships, riding a Chocobo, or by teleporting to the outposts scattered in each area. To teleport to a selected location, a supplies quest must first be completed. Next to each outpost is a book that enables special trainings. By defeating specific enemies, the character will gain extra experience and gils from those training manuals. Once engaged in a battle, the character will hit the targeted enemy if it is in range. Additional actions can be selected from a list, or used via a macro system. Aggressive foes will pursue their target until it has moved to another area. The North American release includes the Rise of the Zilart expansion pack which adds 3 additional jobs: Samurai, Dragoon and Ninja. As of 2014, five expansion packs have also been released along with six add-on scenarios. Each brings a new major storyline to theworld, along with numerous areas, quests, events and item rewards. | ||

| Fushigi no Dungeon: Furai No Shiren Gaiden Onna Kenshi Asuka Kenshan for Windows! [J] | ChunSoft | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Fushigi Dungeon was the last real RPG to be released on the Dreamcast in 2002 (Those adventure RPGs dont really count). It has a very nice CG introduction. The game looks beautiful with extremely detailed backgrounds and characters (even if there does seem to be about 4 or 5 people who look identical in each village.) When two characters come together for a chat, the screen zooms in. Sound is also a strong point of the game providing us with wonderful fitting tunes through out which really add to the atmosphere plus a few decent sound effects. Our main hereon is Asuka or アスカ in Japanese who must travel around the maze-like areas solving puzzles and killing baddies, sort of like any other action RPG really. Fights are also in real time, and you must buy items to help you on your quest as well as finding them along the way. Make sure you equip the right combination though otherwise you could find yourself dying very fast. There is a very strange option which lets you run very fast through the maze areas. | ||

This is one of the great console 3D RPGs ported to the PC. Grandia II captivated Dreamcast owners with its effective characterizations, detailed environments and innovative combat system. Some 10,000 years ago, the god of light vanquished the dark god Valmar, although the battle created a great rift that now divides the world in two. When there surfaces the possibility of Valmar's rebirth, a female Church singer named Elena and her bodyguard, Ryudo (who doesn't much like churches or females), set out on a quest to prevent it. Along the way, they will have to fight evil forces and interact with a number of helpful characters. Grandia's battle system is an innovative mix of turn-based, strategy, and real-time elements. In your epic journey you'll explore dank and dangerous dungeons, utilize powerful magic, gather precious items, and battle fierce enemies. Improve your skills, meet scores of colorful characters, and save the world in this beautiful new world in the GRANDIA tradition. The first Grandia game never made it to the PC.

Just a generation after the events depicted in the first Icewind Dale, a new threat has appeared in the Northern region of Forgotten Realms. Something - or somebody - is trying to cut off the Ten Towns area from the rest of the world. Hordes of monsters invade peaceful towns and kill their citizens. You play as a party of adventurers who happen to be in the region, and upon their arrival they are requested to help to defend the town of Targos against monster invasion. But once they have accepted the quest, the adventurers realize it will only be the beginning of a long and perilous journey. Icewind Dale II is a role-playing game that uses the Infinity Engine, first introduced in Baldur's Gate. Like its predecessor, it is more combat-oriented than Baldur's Gate games. The combat is a mixture of turn-based and real-time styles. In the beginning of the game, you create your entire party, up to six characters. Icewind Dale II uses the 3rd edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules. There are new character classes (such as monk or sorcerer), new races (for example drow) and many new spells. The game features isometric pre-rendered backgrounds, like its predecessors. Adventure Pack - A special gift given by the publishers of the core game Icewind Dale II. This little package includes some extra stuff for the game in a Bonus CD, which contains more special items and more. It also includes a two-sided poster with a list of the enemies around the game and artwork, as well as a set of limited edition character trading cards with some artwork.

RPG martial arts theme game, there should not be many people who know this game, and frankly, the playability of this game is not high, whether it is operation or plot can only be considered average, but in that year, in comparison, the game's screen is not bad, and the special effects are also very gorgeous, I think it may be this that attracted me at that time. Sharing it this time is pure nostalgia. In the forty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty, natural and man-made disasters continued, a serious famine occurred in Tai'an in the Shandong region, and Sichuan in the southwest also flooded because of the climate, which cast a shadow on the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. Inside the royal family, the brothers fought openly and secretly, and they could not stand each other. Although the Kangxi Emperor was worried, he had no choice, and the brothers gradually participated in government affairs after they became adults, and strived to perform in all aspects, so Kangxi followed the trend and gave the sons experience. | ||

| Lord of Beast, The: Chronicle of Amadis [Ch] | Dynasty International | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

This is a strategy RPG by the same developers as the well-regarded "Tian Di Jie" trilogy of RPGs. Whilst that series was steeped in ancient Chinese lore they decided to go in the opposite direction for Amadis and give this game a strong European flavour instead. Amadis offers a choice of two protagonists to run through the game with, sometimes crossing paths with the other lead, sometimes going it alone. The battles are split into player and enemy phases, switching between the two until the battle is won (or lost!). Both your party and the opposing forces can counterattack (this is randomly done) which keeps you on edge but also helps to speed up battles as weaker enemies can be "mopped up" without having to waste turns on them. When you engage an enemy the game switches to a side-on view of the action, much like FEDA or Fire Emblem. These scenes have some fantastic spritework showing large detailed characters knocking seven bells out of each other in an impressive way. | ||

| Narsillion: Leithian Another Story [K] | Garam & Baram Corp., Grigon / Kama Digital Entertainment | [top] | |

Two countries, Temision and Halicarnassus, are at war with each other. King Ferdinand of Temision commands war magicians, hoping to gain the upper hand in the struggle thanks to their power. A girl named Leina was taken to the court of Temision when she was a child, and trained to become a prominent member of the team. However, as she completes another mission, she begins to have guilt feelings and questions the necessity to obey her superiors who order her to kill people. Very soon Leina begins to realize that even her love is jeopardized by politics and war. Narsillion is a prequel to Leithian, telling the story that eventually led to the birth of Ellen, the heroine of the earlier game. Like Leithian, it is an action role-playing game taking place in vast interconnected environment consisting mostly of outdoor areas populated by enemies. The gameplay system is also similar to that of the previous game. The player controls a party of characters, manually fighting with the leader and assigning AI behavior (attacking, using abilities and items) to the rest of the team. Money gained from defeating enemies can be spent in towns on weapons, armor, accessories, and items. Like in Leithian, accumulated experience does not result in leveling up. Instead, the player must find specific magic circles where he or she can freely distribute experience points to raise the heroes' attributes such as maximum HP and MP, attack and defense rating, etc. | ||

This is a mixture of a cyberpunk RPG and X-COM-esque tactical combat. All movement, attacks, and such is done in a turn-based interface, but the game also features dialogue with NPCs, quests and exploration. The background setting portrays the world as an overpopulated, massively polluted remnant of what it once was. At some point, scientists invented a supercomputer they christened BigBrain, which now regulates and controls everything, turning the world into a "paradise". People started hanging around cyberspace more and more, trying to escape from the real world - but on the other hand, this results in a total lack of technological or evolutionary progress for mankind - who needs new inventions if everyone can have whatever they want in cyberspace? The player controls a hacker which stumbles into some odd data in a high-security zone of the all-encompassing cyberspace and is started off with the police raiding his apartment moments later. | ||

One day they happened upon the house, and the girl's father tried to protect the prince... and was killed. Before the soldier could go and kill him and the girl, he unleashed a power which killed all of the soldiers.

This is a massively-multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) based on the fantasy manhwa comic series Ragnarök by Myung-Jin Lee. Initially in Korean, an English release came out in 2002. Initially a subscription service game, a free-to-play server was opened in 2008. The game is set in the Rune-Midgard world of Norse mythology which Ragnarök comes from that means "doom of the gods". The game world is in 3D graphics while the characters are drawn in 2D sprites done like a traditional style console RPG. Player characters exist in a world with a player environment that gradually changes with the passage of time. Major changes in the features and history of the world take place as episodes in the RO timeline. The major types of server-supported gameplay are Player vs Environment, Guild vs Guild, Player vs Player. Also supported by the game server are Group vs Group, Arena Combat, Player vs Monster, Player vs All, and various other specific scenarios at designated instance locations in the game world. Non-player character-run challenges and contests are also available with prizes, awards, and/or in a specific hall of fame listing. Players can sign up for quests and submit them for rewards as well as access storage and teleport services for a small fee. Every town will have the usual stores and shops where players can purchase and sell their items. The stores differ from city to city because each city is affiliated with a different job that players can choose from; therefore, the goods each sell are relatively for that particular job that the city is affiliated with. Quests usually provide a unique reward such as learning a new skill or receiving a rare item. The job system initially consisted of 13 classes, which has increased to over 50 via several updates. Each class specializes in certain skills corresponding to archetypes in a role-playing game. Additionally, numerous equipment are exclusive to particular classes. The greatness of the equipment depends on the character attribute status. Once a player reaches player level 99 and job level 50, they can 'rebirth' their character (not applicable to expansion classes and Super Novices). Rebirthing brings a character back to level 1 for both player level and job level. Reborn characters generally work the same as regular characters up until the second class. Instead of a second class, characters that are born can transcend to a new second job, different from those of a character that hasn't been reborn. These transcended job types have more skills and a larger number of 'stat points' to allocate to characters compared to second classes. The experience curve for transcendent jobs is significantly higher. Players are given the option to advance onto their third classes which provide an additional set of skills as well as allowing with player to break through the traditional level cap of 99. | ||

Edda is a young girl who grew up in a small northern village together with her childhood friend Hulen. One day, enemies attack the village, and Edda is captured and transported to their slave ship. But a mysterious creature attacks the ship, and Edda sinks to the bottom of sea. But she is not dead. Miraculously, she was turned into a mermaid. It appears that the sea is populated by mythical creatures she has heard about from legends. Just when she realizes she would probably never be able to see her world again, a clever little lobster named Bedin declares he is willing to help her. Heroine Anthem is a Chinese (Taiwan)-made role-playing game. Unlike most other Chinese RPGs, it is not set in historical China, but in a fantasy world based on Scandinavian mythology. The game's art is influenced by Japanese anime style. The navigation is done from third-person perspective in predominantly side-scrolling environments. The enemies are visible on screen, and a contact with them initiates a battle. When the player enters a battle, party members must be set on the battle field. Even though the engine is turn-based, there is a real-time element in the battles: enemies will attack continuously, and the player has to assign commands to the characters quickly in order to act. In 2019, the game with full voice acting was released as freeware. | ||

This free RPG was created to be a full modular role-playing in which players could create their own free adventures or quests. The game came with standard game (which was known as the "main quest") that was pre-installed along with a "quest generator" in which randomized quests would be made. This was founded to create a role-playing game in which everyone can create his own stories, adventures, characters, monsters or even spell effects - or just play the games others created. You will play a group (or party) of four characters. Each of them will have his own abilities, attributes and equipment. Like in other role playing games, your success will depend on the composition of your party. It will make no sense to play a party consisting only of melee combatants, neither it will make sense to play four magicians only. All graphics of this project are made with the free 3D render program POV-Ray. Features: basic artifical intelligence/computer control of creatures; Implementation of the A-Star algorithm to do the way-finding of characters; POV-Ray rendered item pictures; POV-Ray rendered font for text output; full modular construction, that means, every part of the project is realized in a separate program; screen resolution 800x600 frame rates of about 10 fps per GHz; dynamic frame speed adaption; 4 character Party with fully animated figures; 14 different monsters; animated transparent grafic effects. | ||

This Japanese fantasy strategy-RPG takes place on a fictitious island country based on Japan, where two warring factions vie for domination of the island. The ground spaces each have an elemental attribute, such as water or fire, and these attributes will increase or decrease the power of different units. There is also a day/night cycle in each map, with certain units becoming more powerful at certain times of day. VM Japan has three modes of play: a "scenario mode," which is the normal way to play, a "free mode," which allows a player to freely select levels, and a "network mode," which allows players to play against one another over the Internet. In the scenario mode, the player can select between a shrine maiden, a swordsman, an alien, a princess, and other characters. The game will change based on which class is selected. In addition, the units used in the scenario mode must be discovered before they can be used. | ||

Originally on Playstation in 1999, this PC port is of a Japanese enhanced remakes of Wizardry 4: The Return of Werdna (1987), and Wizardry 5: Heart of the Maelstrom (1988). There are two different modes for Wizardry IV: classic and arrange. Classic allows you to play Wizardry IV in English if you set the options correctly. Wizardry V is also available in full English if one sets the options. However, its soundtrack is inferior to the FM-TOWNS Wizardry V remake and its dungeon graphics are only marginally better than those of Wizardry V on the SNES. As for Wizardry IV Arrange mode, the story has been changed around and as such none of it has been translated. You also control each of the creatures Werdna can summon to aid him (a party of 6 monsters) whereas in the original you could only summon 3 groups of monsters whom you could not control. | ||

An exceptionally invigorating and oddly enough, completely turn-based (!) RPG from a little-known Taiwanese developer, which only produced three products, published in 2002. You will have to sit in the cabin of the most formidable war machines of the future, which are known to many gamers as Manned Giant Fighting Robots, sometimes for short called "méhami". But ... because of the presence there of some female characters with unnaturally large incision eyes will still be technically correct to call these special Japanese steel mechanisms - Gundam. The graphics are very, very pleasant. At a resolution of 640x480 all the colors are smooth, bright and vivid - and in fact there are only 256! Especially shocking are detailed 3D-models of robots, rotating in the "Status" menu. Each robot has its distinctive sound of steel steps. And what colorful special effects arise when they are hit in combat - on half of the screen! All windows, menus and buttons are decorated in the best traditions of the style of "high tech" even with translucency effects. There are some videos as cut-scenes and intro. But the music ... it can only be the most heroic in the game, which tells the story of an uncompromising battle between the pilots on their Gundam ... the game is awarded well-deserved top marks. In principle, Chinese dialogs should not become a hindrance to passage. However, in the signature tables for weapons systems and other useful items made on hieroglyphs - there you, alas, have to learn the language. Although intuitively appointing it is easier to find out in practice: just apply it in action - and see the result. In general, despite the fact that the game is made in Taiwan, all the great fans of Japanese anime culture, this RPG is strongly recommended to try. | ||

Magic was once strong in Granvallen, the miraculous world of floating continents. A thousand years ago, six demons lords rebelled against the benevolent twin goddesses Aplyes and Espina. Thus the Great Sorcery War began, in which humans fought valiantly against demons. Tiara, the Priestess Princess of the Holy Kingdom of Valence, and the Crusader Paradys managed to defeat the demons, but the force of magic that penetrated Granvallen began to fade as a result. Five hundred years later, a mysterious masked man enters the peaceful village of Puck on the continent of Arshes. Two fourteen-year-old children, the girl Pipiro and the boy Pokkle, witness how he enters the village temple, murders a guard, and steals six Goddess statues, the village's biggest treasure. The kids decide to leave Puck, track down the stranger, bring him to justice, and perhaps gain fame and fortune in the process. Zwei!! (taken from the German word for two) is an action role-playing game with bright, cartoon-like 2D visuals. The player can switch between Pipiro and Pokkle at any time; when controlling one character, the other is handled by the AI. Pipiro uses magical projectiles while Pokkle fights with a drill-like close-combat weapon. Elemental and combo attacks can be used to exploit enemy weakpoints and force them to drop better items. The player accesses individual locations from the overworld. Most of them are labyrinthine dungeons with multiple levels populated by enemies. Experience points are obtained from food dropped by enemies or found in the game world. Food items can be combined in a restaurant to create more powerful ones with a higher experience count. The player can also acquire a pet animal (a cat or a dog), who follows the protagonists, helps them collect items, and unlocks specific combo attacks. Zwei!! contains various in-game items that serve to unlock mini-games and accessories. A shooting game entitled Zwei!! Shooting is accessed from within the game; the others can be launched from the desktop when the main game is closed. One of these, Pet Monitor, is obtained automatically and allows the player to make choices within an adventure-like environment, which may increase the pet's level and reward items in the main game. Other two mini-games are the typing tutor Typing with Ys, starring characters and themes from Ys games, and the puzzle game Mona Mona. Accessories include a calendar, a clock, and a calculator. On Jan 24/2018, an English version was released with higher resolution, support for wide-screen monitors, re-done soundtrack, as well as an improved head-up display. | ||

Pac-Man is a ball with a mouth; Blip and Blop are balls with arms - conventional arms of several varieties, in addition to more exotic heavy weaponry such as lasers and flamethrowers. Chekhov's law dictates that the gun in the first act must go off in the third, but these hardened spheres haven't got the patience for that, wading directly into a non-stop carnival of carnage, a shooting frenzy only occasionally interrupted with cut-scene dialogue and nods to what might otherwise be described as the run'n'jump platformer genre -- had they legs to run and jump with. (Wiggle and bounce?) Of course, a game based on wholesale slaughter is only as wicked as its antagonists, and it takes an interesting tack, setting up forty sinister derivative versions of much-loved video game protagonists and other paragons of childhood benevolence - the Smurfs (aka "Snuffs", presumably for copyright reasons), the Care Bears ("Scare Bears"), Pokémon ("Dorkemon"), Snorks, Rayman, Lara Croft, Lemmings (in a bonus stage reminiscent of Lamers), and so forth across 5 levels (and two bonus stages), both as mooks and bosses. And when you and they meet? You'll demonstrate that you've got balls and they've got guts. | ||

This is a mature cancelled platform / adventure game that was in development for the Playstation 2 and Xbox. The goal of Crank was to create chaos in the game’s world, with lies, cheats and stealing loot from the other characters, to be able to get enough Big-Ticket-Items to fly to Pleasure Island. The game’s look and feel were inspired by 1920’s cartoon art style and authentic big band swing music, but with a humorous / mature twist, similar to Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Sadly, the game was officially cancelled but a playable prototype was leaked online in late 2017 thanks to a former Midway developer. | ||

Kkamjigi is a line of carbonated drinks with flavors of various fruits, very popular in South Korea of the 1990s and early 2000s, aimed primarily at consumption by children and remembered at home thanks to a series of animated commercials about dancing snails who fought with evil turtles and constantly "applied" to this swill: many of the inhabitants of the mentioned country, whose childhood happened at that time, still remember them with nostalgia. As you might guess, due to the popularity and demand for the characters in the videos, all kinds of "related products" with their images, as well as two whole computer games in the platforming subgenre, soon appeared. The first of them, Camchigi's Great Journey was published in 1999, was initially free, and the exact method of its distribution is unknown; by a happy coincidence, a few years after its release, it came to the West, where she even gained some fame among arcade lovers, albeit, of course, limited. This second game, released under the same name as the previous one, but commercial (although it was sold exclusively in bookstores, and the circulation was clearly small), is remembered by a few fans of electronic entertainment even in South Korea itself. Perspective view - side view. At the time of the start of the first level, we control the main character of the original videos - a funny male snail named Wang Nun - however, in the process of moving through the levels, we will very often be given the opportunity to change the character to one of the three remaining: this is the Botanist (male snail with glasses), Pretty Woman (snail-girl) and Rambo (healthy snail-man in dark glasses, armed with a machine gun). The transformation becomes available after contact with the cube hanging in the air, the edges of which are marked with the letters "C": as soon as this happens, a kind of "spinner" appears on the screen, consisting of several circles with portraits of the characters. Switching between them is carried out using the arrow keys; in order to make a choice. It should be noted that the abilities of the heroes are somewhat different. Wang Nun, in general, is nothing special, although all our characters know how - and, to put it mildly, very good for snails - to jump (right "Alt" is responsible for this), and it is the landings on the heads of the opponents that are the main ones, and often the only way to deal with them. The beauty clearly jumps higher and farther than everyone else, the Botanist, being very well-fed, seems to be killing opponents with his own body faster, and Rambo, unlike other protagonists, has the aforementioned machine gun with infinite ammunition, which is an alternative method of attack (it is activated with the right key "Ctrl"). True, unfortunately, its destructive power is not too great, - many creatures are much faster and even technically easier to eliminate by jumping. Of course, no one is obligatory forcing us to change the current character - and, generally speaking, it is rather difficult to say unambiguously how necessary such replacements are; however, it seems that for the passage of individual (rarely encountered) sections or battles with certain bosses, it is still highly recommended to choose (depending on the situation) either Rambo or Pretty Woman, while it is clearly possible to do without the two remaining snails. | ||

It's been a year since the alien invasion on Earth. Last year, Larry and a team of five was set out to stop the alien invasion. After Larry's team of five was taken down one by one, Larry met Steve. Steve was camping out in the wilderness with his friend matt, who was eaten by a rock monster. Larry continues on to save the earth. Eventually, Larry runs into Xenophobe, the master alien. After a tedious battle, Steve jumps in and zaps Xenophobe into oblivion with some big fat gun of his. The Earth is saved. Now, a year later, Larry and Steve meet once again. After a game of chess, Steve departs. After Steve walks by a cola machine, he ask Larry for a quarter to get a cola. Larry just tells Steve to kick the machine and a cola will come out for free, so Steve kicks to machine and grabs a cola to quench his thirst. After drinking it he feels queasy and falls to the floor. Larry is left alone to go and find help. The story goes on from there. When a surprise attack of aliens seize control of a high-rise, they lock down the doors, trapping Larry and the remaining survivors inside. As they fight for their lives against dangerous encounters, finding a way of escape is paramount. As Larry, you must search the building for the remaining access cards that'll open new doors to classified areas, in hopes of overriding the lockdown. Rooms can be searched for clues that point to discoverable items or key pieces of information. There is no linear path from start to finish, as all floors are accessible from the elevator. Still, you will discover that some areas are behind locked doors and not reachable. Doors are locked with one of four security levels, and you must carry an access card with an equal-or-higher clearance level to be granted entry. | ||

It's been 3 weeks since the space colony "Eurasia" crashed into the Earth. Since then, the Earth has become a deadly, barren wasteland, unfit for humans to inhabit the surface. The humans now live underground, while Reploids begin the task of attempting to recover from the deadly onslaught of the Sigma Virus. For the Maverick Hunters, the task is difficult, especially for X. Zero was lost in the attack, and all X has left of him is his Beam Sabre. As the Maverick Hunters assist in the recovery operation, a young Reploid scientist, Gate, discovers a mysterious chip in the wastelands. He immediately sets out on a cause to discover the mysterious "Nightmare Virus", and sends 8 assistants out to search for answers. But when Gate's assistants suddenly vanish, the worst is feared: they've gone Maverick. X is the only one now who can discover the answers needed to unravel the mystery of this deadly "Nightmare Virus", and perhaps find out what it is exactly Gate wants with it. Series artist and producer Keiji Inafune was not involved in the game's production, as he had originally intended for the series to end with Zero's death in Mega Man X5. As such, X6 caused a change of plans in the Mega Man X series, since it was originally intended to have Zero resurrected in the Mega Man Zero series. It's identical to its predecessor in terms of general gameplay, traversing through dangerous terrain while defeating a legion of enemies throughout the way. Unlike the previous two games, the player starts out the game as X. However, X has changed considerably. While he starts out with the Falcon Armor, most of its special abilities have been lost, but for a trade in, he can use Zero's Z-Saber as an alternate weapon, although he wields it with less skill and thus can only use single swings. Some areas contain a "transfer gate" which X can go through. Should he enter one, he will enter an extra area which will lead to a battle with a boss version of Zero known as the Zero Nightmare. Winning this battle will reveal the real Zero and unlock him as a playable character. While he has not changed much, his Z-Saber has a somewhat longer reach and its appearance has changed into a straight sword. His Z-Buster also fires faster but can only be fired on the ground as usual. This is also the first game in the series that Zero can double-jump without having gained a special technique first. X can gain more than two armors as usual though they must be assembled before they can be utilized: The Blade Armor, which enhances X's melee potential with the Z-Saber and the Shadow Armor which ups his maneuverability and grants him immunity to spikes. In each stage except the last one exists the Nightmare Phenomenon, strange helix-based enemies that, although weak, can prove troublesome. Though they have no sufficient means of attack, they will often attempt to infect Injured Reploids (who the player must save in order to obtain bonuses and upgrades) and turn them into enemies. Defeating a Nightmare will yield a Nightmare Soul which can be used to upgrade how many parts can be equipped to a character. A Soul must be retrieved quickly before the Nightmare revives itself where it will not yield it a second time. Initially released only in Far East, an English version finally came out in 2018 when it was included in Mega Man X Legacy Collection. See also: #Mega Man X Legacy Collection |

Based on a South Korean fantasy animated series of the early 2000s, performed in a style close to anime, but in the computer (CGI) animation technique, it gained great popularity not only at home and in neighboring states, but also in the West. Its plot can be summarized as follows: the action takes place in 2044, when actually intelligent robots have become an integral part of human life. The main character is a boy Hanyl, who is very keen on robotics (renamed Connor in the western versions of the animated series), who moves with his parents to the city of Bubble Town, where almost every inhabitant has his own robot. By chance, he finds himself involved in a confrontation with a villainous scientist named Dr. Kay, who constructs robots hostile to humanity. Everything again "revolves" around the confrontation between brave children and their robots with Dr. Kay. This game is a hybrid of platformer and beat 'em up with a side-view perspective. The game is divided into levels, each of which consists of three stages: at the first stage we play as Khanyl, at the second - as Kubiks; the third - a fight with the boss, where again you have to take on the role of a robot. Any part of the level is one huge (significantly exceeding the limits of the instantly visible space) and, relatively speaking, a "multi-storey" location. The task is to get to a certain point of it, not marked in an explicit way - due to the monotonous and at the same time rather complex architecture, it is not so easy to find it. The hero, whoever he is, is hindered by opponents (extremely diverse robots), with whom it is necessary to fight; at the same time, Hanyl is only able to stun enemies, while Kubiks is just to destroy. The boy is distinguished by a significant set of skills: he can run (for this you need to press the key with the "left" or "right" arrow keys twice), jump ("C"), bend ("lower" cursor arrow) and crawl (you must press first " lower "and then" left "or" right "cursor arrow), as well as go up and down stairs, move on your hands above the surface, clinging to the ledges, pull yourself up, after grasping the cliff. Of course, he is also capable of self-defense: by pressing "X" near the enemy, the hero will fight with his hands, and at a distance, he will throw various bizarre-looking objects at him, the supply of which is endless. The same key is used to press all kinds of buttons and levers. The jumping mechanics when playing as Hanyl are simple; There are moving platforms, but in fact there are no fatal gaps (although falling from a great height seems to be not entirely safe), and it is never necessary to calculate the starting point for a jump. Actually, even in principle, you will not have to perform the mentioned action so often - at least not more often than crawling or on your hands (and without the use of these skills, success cannot be achieved). The hero has a relatively solid reserve of health, as well as several "lives" - but in case of death, the passage of the segment begins anew without saving any achievements. The main difficulty of the stages for the boy, in addition to the aforementioned confusing architecture, is that he, as again mentioned earlier, cannot kill the robots opposing him. The enemy, after several missed hits or hits with well-thrown objects by the hero, falls to the ground, being surrounded by "asterisks" traditional for Western mass culture, symbolizing fainting, but after some (albeit relatively long) time he comes to his senses. Enemies at the first stage of the first level are funny: they are jumping yellow humanoids, fat flyers and extremely unpleasant little dark-lilac "pigs", which can be hit - attention - only in the squatting position, and it is better - by throwing objects from some distance. The situation is aggravated by the presence of a time limit in the game - albeit quite sparing, but still unpleasant. In the course of the passage, you can find some bonuses, but almost all of them seem to be needed only to increase the score; the exception is the multi-colored cubes that restore health. Although it is possible that it will not be possible to proceed to the next stage without any items, so it is better to pick up everything that we find. You should also pay attention to the presence of deadly traps: at the first stage, these are power cables sticking out here and there, which must be jumped over or avoided in other ways. | ||

This is an homage to the famous Jet Set Willy, a notoriously difficult flick-screen platform game with lots of screens. It was first released for Amiga in 1994 before this PC port. Guide Willy around his vast and very strange mansion, filled with death traps and dangerous creatures such as rolling razors, bunny rabbits and flying TV sets, to collect his flashing items. A score panel on the bottom keeps track of how many of the many rooms Willy has explored and how many items have been picked up. Even though it makes some use of the Amiga's large colour palette, it remains true to its ZX Spectrum inspiration, so that each enemy is a single colour (or a single hue), dividing the screen in distinct 8x8 pixel blocks with separate colours for each block and having a black background. | ||

This is a port of the 1986 Namco arcade game. In the year 1192, the darkness of the Minamoto clan has come and is spreading across Japan. The country is being ravaged, and only one man of the lost Heike clan can return from the depths of hell to put a stop to it. His name is Taira no Kagekiyo. The story of Genpei Tōma Den ostensibly revolves around the historical Genpei War from Japanese history, and involves Taira no Kagekiyo fighting the evil Minamoto no Yoritomo and the Minamoto clan across Japan. The game features three modes of play: "side mode", a small-scale action platforming section; "big mode", a large-scale fighting section comparable to the Taito coin-op Gladiator; and "flat mode", an overhead-view section. In all three sections the goal is to destroy enemies, collect items, and reach the end before the life bar (represented by burning candles) runs out. | ||

This is a tile-matching puzzle game where players need to form molecules by moving atoms around the grid. The most straightforward molecule is a square form of four atoms of the same colour, but more complex patterns using different colours are also possible. The game can be played turn-based, with new atoms appearing after every move, or real-time where the game progresses regardless of the player's actions. For each of these modes, there is also an expert version with many more colours. To progress through the levels, players need to form a certain amount of molecules before empty space on the grid is taken up entirely. For each group, a molecule meter near the top of the screen is filled, showing the level progress. Atoms are moved around using the mouse and can be placed anywhere on the grid, as long as there is a direct route possible without other atoms blocking the path. Points are awarded for each molecule formed, causing it to disappear from the grid. New atoms that appear on the grid are hinted at with a faded, coloured symbol, which can be incorporated in the strategy. By forming combos, a geiger meter is filled. Multiple combos trigger a super combo and the different combos charge up an atomic bomb that can be used to blow up random atoms on the grid. When enough molecules are formed, the player is offered to form a more complex, bonus molecule using more advanced shapes and different colours. Upon completing it, a bonus atom is provided on the grid. It can be moved around to form a group (opening the option to get a more powerful bonus atom) or it can be double clicked to trigger it. For instance, the level 1 fire bonus atom will clear nine squares on the grid, but an advanced one will destroy more. There are also time-limited biohazard atoms that need to be disposed off quickly before they start replicating. The game includes a high score list and saves the level progress. | ||

This is based on the Brazilian version of the TV reality show. Players select one out of twelve characters to compete with. Each character has different stats such as charisma, mood, hygiene, etc. which will influence how they behave and interact with other characters. The game plays like a simplified version of the The Sims. During gameplay, each character has several bar meters that must be kept full, such as acceptance among the other players, motivation, energy, hunger and hygiene. Acceptance is raised by doing house chores or by displaying your body, motivation is raised by doing fun activities such as telling jokes to other characters or swimming in the swimming pool, energy is raised by resting or sleeping, and so on. There's also a bar meter for the quality of the player character's relationship with other characters: you can chat, tell jokes, dance, flirt and kiss other characters. There is also a popularity meter with the viewers of the TV show, who don't like people who behave badly or do always the same things. The characters are confined for 64 days (which duration can be set from a minimum of 3 minutes). Every Thursday a leader is selected from a draw. Every Saturday the leader chooses a character to be up for elimination. Every Sunday the other characters vote one player to be up for elimination. In the mean time between the leader's choice and the other characters' choice, the player can try to form alliances with other characters to vote someone specific. Every Tuesday the show viewers vote to decide who leaves the house. When only three players are left in the house, the viewers vote to decide who wins. | ||

This is a single person puzzle game that has some of the elements of Lemmings about it. The backstory to this games sees the Dweebs, (small, furry, cute, edible and not too smart) being transported to some alien planet as a delicacy when the cargo vessel crashes here on Earth. The Dweebs survive unharmed but need help to escape from their captors. This is where the player enters the story. The objective of the game is to guide the Dweebs to safety. There are ten zones and each zone consists of a series of timed puzzles. The Dweebs are coloured and are continually on the move. Whenever they walk into an object, the edge of the screen, or each other, they reverse direction and keep on walking. It is the player's job to direct each Dweeb to an exit point of the correct colour. This is done by placing directional arrows in the Dweeb's path, once they cross the arrow they will change their direction to match that of the arrow. The game can be played entirely with the mouse or with the keyboard. Through the game's Options menu the player can change the difficulty level, the speed at which the Dweeb's move, and enter a password to start/restart at a specific zone. | ||

This is an even stranger and more in the distant future than before. The Dweebs are all currently stranded on planet Earth after a space freighter transporting this very rare and unusual cargo crashed many years ago, and now they require a really helpful human to assist them on their quest to return to their home planet. The Dweebs are not the cleverest of alien creatures but are very lovable, and the urge to help the cute creatures is overwhelming for most humans. Unfortunately, the evil Weevil Dweebs are out to stop you and the UFO that has come to beam up the missing Dweebs and take them home, can only wait a short while on Earth. Together with them you need to overcome obstacles controlling their actions. Some can turn into moving flame, others can make faces. Use the function buttons to define what they do in a game. They can move in various directions, jump, and switch on and off the things near them. They cannot get through the whole number of obstacles without your help. There is a special transport plate that has come to take them back. But it's not going to be there long. Every level is timed and you need to hurry. Every dweeb also has a unique ability to produce offspring and they can lay eggs when they meet. | ||

Dynomite is a revised version of Raptisoft's Eggsucker and has similar gameplay to Bust-A-Move. You launch colored dino eggs upwards from a swivable slingshot launcher to break groups of slowly descending egg patterns. At least 3 of similar color must be touching for them to break and large groups cracked elicit a witty shout from a dino character and bonus points. Cracking groups in succession will also bring shouts of ever increasing "combos" until a bomb is rewarded which explodes a large area of any eggs it contacts and pushes the descending egg field upwards temporarily. Some eggs will shake and if they are cracked in time, a dino baby will hatch giving a bonus. Certain eggs will also, if cracked, give extra points, mutiply scores, widen the play area, or show the route path of your launched egg for easy targeting. There are four different play modes: Endless Mode - eggs continue falling at ever increasing speeds. Occasionally when a timer runs down, a pterodactyl named Whirly will fly from the bottom of the screen and if not hit before he reaches the screen top, will drop a new color of egg making the game harder. He will fly ever faster each time he appears and is shot. Stomped Mode - Each screen is a set pattern of eggs that all must be cleared to move to another screen. Every set number of eggs fired, Mama Brontosaurus will stomp the screen down one row. Fossil Challenge - A prehistoric fossil trapped among the eggs must be freed by cracking all eggs surrounding it. There's two submodes - Strategic, where the screen remains static or Panic, where it will descend one row for every set number of shots taken. Time Trial - Simply clear all eggs in the quickest time possible in a choice of 3 different difficulty levels. | ||

Santa has returned to the North Pole but there is a problem. There always seems to be. It seems the reindeer have gotten into Dingle Kringle's hooch stash and gotten soused. Now they're out of control and Santa can't use them to pull his sleigh so he needs to train his elves to fly and land accurately. That's why Santa has taken one of Mrs. Claus' bras, hooked it between two trees and set up targets of the mountainside. This is a target game, something like midget tossing or lawn darts. Taking an elf, you put him in the bra sling and you will see an arrow with a line moving up and down it. You aim the arrow left or right with the mouse. The moving line is the shot's power. When it is where you want it, press the left mouse button to fire. If you hit one of the floating balloons, you will get the point amount, depending on what balloon was hit. Starting in level two, if you hit a reindeer, you will be knocked from the sky, maybe landing on a target, maybe not. Also, starting with the second level, you will have presents. These will give points, protect from reindeer collisions, etc. You will have ten tries per level to get as many points as you can but you must get at least two bullseyes per level or the game will end. | ||

| Insaniquarium! | Flying Bear Entertainment / PopCap Games, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
An independent developer's action game, Insaniquarium puts the player in the troublesome role of an aquarium owner- purchasing various kinds of fish, feeding them properly and on time, and watching them grow. Each fish drops various coins and trinkets; the larger and more picky the fish, the more valuable the trinkets he drops, from simple silver coins to fancy gold chests. Additionally, every once in a while a vicious alien will appear in the aquarium, trying to slaughter hapless fish and ending the whole enterprise prematurely. Another twist comes in the form of pets. At the end of every level players are awarded a pet, which floats in the aquarium without demanding maintenance and adds some sort of beneficial bonus. Players are limited to using a maximum of three pets at a time. Managing the various fish, fighting aliens, and making the right choices (from pets to various investments in the aquarium) gives the game a slight strategic appeal. The game also supports additional challenges such as time-trials, and includes a Virtual Aquarium which players can nurture purely for pleasure. In 2004, an enhanced version, Insaniquarium! Deluxe was released. | ||

This is a remake of Gremlin's popular game Krakout which itself was an Arkanoid-style Breakout clone. This is a one or two player game which, like the original, is played with the paddles on the side of the screen rather than along the bottom of the screen in true Breakout style. Brick formations are randomly generated (hence the "unlimited" tag to the title). It comes with a level editor that allows players to create their own levels. Other features are the ability to take screen shots and to save games (by the F8 and F12 keys respectively), two levels of difficulty, and choice between control systems (keyboard, mouse, or joystick/gamepad). At the time of release players could upload their high scores to the game's website, together with MOD files containing player-created levels which could be downloaded and played via a menu option. | ||

| Mr. Driller 2 [J] | Namco Limited / NEC Interchannel, Ltd. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

Originally in arcades in 2000, you play the game as Susumu or Anna. Equipped with nothing but a pressurized suit and a drill, you need to contact the King of the Undergrounders. To do this, you will need to drill down several thousands of feet avoiding being crushed and remembering to pick up air tanks. This is a real-time puzzle game where you will be continually moving down or sideways in an effort to get to the bottom. As you dig, blocks will fall to fill in the spaces below. Like colored blocks will stick together (giving you time to rest), but will disappear if 4 or more blocks come together. This can cause chain reactions (very common in two-color levels) that become dangerous quickly. Three modes of play: Story, Time Attack, and Endless Driller. Story Mode uses the bare bones story from above. Time Attack gives you a set levels with a specific time limit. Endless Driller allows you to dig for as long as you can. | ||

| Mummy Maze Deluxe | PopCap Games, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an electronic adaptation of the pencil-and-paper maze puzzle Theseus and the Minotaur by Robert Abbott, first published in 1962. It is based on the concept of logic mazes where an exit needs to be found, but with a number of rules that restrict or modify the possible movement. Locating the exit does not consist of travelling towards it directly, the introduced limitations can be based on arrows restricting directions, opened or closed doors, or the amount of spaces each move is permitted to be. The name of the maze is based on the Greek legend of Theseus who needs to outsmart the stronger and faster minotaur in his own labyrinth. In PopCap's take on the concept, the setting is moved to Egypt where the player controls an explorer in search of treasure. Instead of minotaurs, the explorer encounters different types of mummies and scorpions. The level lay-out of the mazes is seemingly simple, but usually a large number of steps is needed to enter the exit. Played in turns, mummies can move two steps at a time, while the explorer is limited to one. To outsmart enemies, they need to be lured away. Enemies do not react to the player directly, but to a specific logic of vertical and horizontal movement. Once discovered, this can be exploited by the player. For instance, when on a tile surrounded by walls on three sides, the mummy will not leave his position when his logic anticipating the player's movement prevents him from moving into the direction of the exit. Further rules are added through a number of traps, multiple mummies (who get into a fight where one is killed when the explorer lures them towards each other), a key that opens or closes a gate, and the specific position of walls. Although most levels seem to resemble each other, the solution is always different. The game's main mode is called Adventure. It consists of fifteen pyramids, with fifteen levels each, that need to be unlocked gradually. After finishing a pyramid, a treasure is provided and in the final pyramid the valuable riches of Pharaoh Tutankhamen await the player. The Classic mode has similar gameplay, but there the mazes are randomly generated with an increasing difficulty. The Adventure mode only keeps track of the player's completion time, but in the Classic mode points are awarded based on how quickly the maze is solved. The game also contains a tutorial where the basic game mechanics are explained in three sessions. After completing a level, progress is saved automatically. During gameplay the player can also undo as many moves as needed or reset the entire maze. An ankh near the left side of the screen turns red when the explorer is moved into a position where he can no longer solve the maze. The explorer is controlled through the cursor keys or the mouse. Sometimes, it is also need to perform a "wait" action, where the player skips his turn, used to lure an enemy into a specific position or movement pattern. | ||

| NingPo MahJong Deluxe | Pyrogon Inc. / PopCap Games Inc. | [top] | |

This is a classical Solitaire Mahjong game, similar to the Mahjong Titans game included in Microsoft Windows. The player must dismantle a board comprised of numerous rectangular tiles by removing pairs of tiles with matching symbols; only visible tiles whose longer side is completely unobstructed can be removed. The game features 18 board layouts, 8 different tile artworks and various background patterns. During play, the player can request a hint to highlight two tiles that can be matched, and if the player runs out of available matches he can ask to reshuffle the remaining tiles. Both of these options will give a time penalty, and when all tiles have been removed the total time is used for a highscore table. | ||

| Noah's Ark Deluxe | PopCap Games Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a matching game centered around the Christian tale of Noah who needs to take two animals of each species aboard his ark before god floods the earth. Players need to match animals to clear them from the board. In most included game modes, this needs to be done before the upcoming water reaches the ark shown on the left side of the screen. This acts as the time limit and players are given points based on the remaining distance. When the water hits the ark, the game is over. The game can be played on different difficulty levels, based on the speed of the water and the diversity of the animals that need to be matched. There are three main game modes. Action - In a series of levels, players need to match animals two by two to make them disappear from the board. The animals do no need to be next to each other, as long as they can reach each other without an obstacle in the way (in a path of horizontal and/or vertical steps, not diagonal). Players need to click each animal for the pair, or drag one to another. When a part of the board is cleared, it becomes easier to find matches. When no more moves are possible, some animals disappear at a loss of points until new matches become possible. Players are awarded points for each match as well as the remaining distance of the water to the ark before clearing the level. Every few boards, there a Stampede Round bonus level where groups of three identical animals need to be clicked quickly to make them disappear and to keep the climbing stack from reaching the top of the screen. Strategy - This mode is fairly identical to Action with the major difference that matched animals not only disappear, but also cause the animals and other types of blocks on top of it to drop down, reshuffling the level and sometimes even trapping animal blocks. There are also no bonus rounds. Apart from that, the gameplay is the same. Puzzle - This game mode is completely different and uses the typical Match-3 gameplay from such games as Bejeweled. The board is filled with animals (no other blocks) and each animal's position can be swapped with one next to it. That way, matches of three animals or more, in a horizontal or vertical line, need to be formed. They disappear and new animals appear from the top of the screen, filling the board. The game is over when no new matches are possible. | ||

You can play this game with your friend - challenge him to competition and win or search for the stolen king's crown together. Children love the game very much for it's bright colors, funny monsters, fabulous plot and beautiful cartoons. This is a flat arcade game turned into a 3D fairy quest. It's not just about sweeping the galleries from monsters, collecting bonuses and recalling the old good PacMan. This time you are to come to the rescue of the Kingdom. The Kingdom of Pickland inhabited by crazily happy roly-polies is on the brink of a disaster. The king's crown is in the hands of a sweep. The roly-poly world is doomed unless the brave little Pickman passes through innumerable galleries, comes to the villain's den and rescues the world. The galleries are unlike what can be seen in the classical Pacman. In this game the hero has to pass over the outposts of Orks, towers of seers, caves and burial places. The game proceeds in a perfect 3D environment. With many bonuses on the way, Pickman feels highly rewarded for the taken risks. A trunk with treasures will help him turn all the chasers into helpless things, a petard found in due time can burst the monsters stock and barrel while a well-deserved mug of beer is a poisonous bonus because after a shot Pickman staggers toward his goal in acute hangover. | ||

| Solid State Pinball: Jinni Zeala | LittleWing Co. Ltd. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Jinni Zeala is another pinball simulator by LittleWing. The game has one table with a "1001 Nights" middle-eastern theme. The goal is to activate several bonus stages, represented in the table as models with three drop targets (with the exception of Felucca and Zeala stages) and a sink hole each. There are five stages: Oasis, Cave, Zeala, Palace and Felucca Boat. To activate most of them, the player has to acquire four items, each collected by dropping the three targets and sinking the ball in the hole. The Felucca and Zeala stages don't have targets, instead the player has to shoot the ball through the lanes. During the Palace Stage, the bumpers award 200,000 for 40 seconds. The Zeala Stage starts a multiball, where hitting the Oasis and Palace target gives the jackpot. The Oasis Stage increases the value of the scimitar lane to 100,000 for 20 seconds, up to 1,000,000. The Cave Stage makes every switch give 100,000 for 30 seconds. Sinking the ball in the Palace and Oasis holes several times starts a multiball. When more than one multiball starts at the same time, one extra ball is added to the field, up to three. The fortune teller gives a random prize to the player. She appears when the ball enters the bazaar hole with all the rollover buttons turned on. | ||

This is an action game in which you must help SpongeBob and his friends, who got accidentally trapped in a giant pinball machine. The goal of the game is to bump into objects to change all the lights on the board to green and open the giant clamp. When you roll inside the clamp you unlock the next board and get a huge bonus. Remember that the faster you hit the objects, the more points you get. Also, be careful not to fall down any holes or roll off the board. You should also avoid the jellyfish, whose sting will send you spinning out of control if you touch it. What is more, the game includes two modes: Open play and Time challenge. In Open play, you can choose any unlocked board and keep playing until you run out of chances, whereas in Time challenge, you start at the first board and complete as many boards as you can, before you run out of time.

This is a Breakout clone released as a promo for the music group White Stripes' single 'Fell in Love With a Girl'. It's a classic retro game to tie in with the Lego-based video. A downloadable 'standalone' version of the game was released first, followed up with a Shockwave version to be played online from various web sites including NME, MTV, Channel4 and whitestripes.com. Each partner had its own 'branded' version of the game and unique high score chart, where players competed to win a chance to meet Meg and Jack. To play, simply double-click the 'WhiteStripes' icon in this folder. The task? Knock out as many bricks as possible. Use your bat to keep the ball in play. If you are using the mouse to control the bat's movement, use the left mouse button to set the ball in play. If you are using the cursor keys to control the bat, pressing the space bar has the same effect. Only the red and white bricks can be removed. Stuck in a loop? 't' -> tilt the table (don't overdo it!) or 'x' -> kill the ball in play. | ||

The game concept is that you have to eliminate clusters of at least 3 blocks with your mouse, but the more you remove at once, the more you score. Once that happens, all blocks above the ones, which have vanished, will fall down and close the gap. Beneath the lowest row, there you see the new row building up. Once all blocks are present, this row will be now the lowest row, while all others are moving up. Once one block reaches the top of the playfield, you loose. Each individual level has a preset value of rows, which will build up. To win a level, all you have to do, is to prevent that a full vertical row (from bottom to top) gets stacked up. The game offers 4 game modes: Traditional, Puzzle, Relapse, and Strategy. Two of them need a brain, while the other two just need a fast hand. Traditional works like explained above. New rows show automatically, with increasing speed not only from level to level, but also in a level. Means: the level starts slow, but in the end, new rows will complete every second. Power-Ups are available in this game mode. Relapse works exactly like Traditional, but with one major difference. The action isn't just limited to the bottom of the playfield, in fact, both bottom and top now filling with blocks. Power-Ups used on one side affecting both. How to win is the same, but you loose, when blocks from one side touching the other. Strategy is one of the two game modes where you must think. Clicking fast will only help to see the Game Over screen. New rows won't appear automatically, instead for each cluster you remove, a full new line will appear. So you have to plan carefully before neutralizing a cluster. Puzzle is the game mode, where no new lines appear. Also there are no Power-Ups here. But this is the most complex game mode. Your task is to completely remove all blocks, if at least one block is still available, you loose. There is also no time limit, so you can think as long as you want. The first three game modes offering bonus levels, which works like the Puzzle mode. So, if one block remains, you only scoring the normal points for removed clusters. Only when all blocks are removed, you score the bonus points. There are only two differences: it isn't so complex, and you only have 15 seconds time. There are 5 different Power-Ups in the game (2 good, 2 bad, 1 depending of the situation): Platform Block (won't move, just blocking the vertical row where it is), Indestructible Block (does move like a regular block, but can't removed with normal actions), Color Bomb (one of each of the 5 colors, will detonate all same colored blocks in it's big radius), Super Bomb (shorter range than the Color Bomb, but blow up all blocks, regardless the color; only way to remove Platform/Indestructible Blocks), and finally, the Gravity Block (only available in Relapse Mode, will shift all blocks from the side where it was activated to the other side). Super Collapse! II Platinum has over 120 puzzles, challenge the world with global high scores, and gaze at a set of new backgrounds and game pieces. | ||

TipTop is a matching game with three modes, using fruits, bells and other slot machine symbols for its tiles. The player has to make arrangements of three or more icons of the same type, by selecting a column and adding a new tile to make them disappear. If the pile gets too high or too deep, touching the top or the bottom of the screen, the game is over. On regular mode, each click makes one tile fall to the top of the column and another one float up to the bottom. The goal is to fill a wavy meter at the right side of the screen with successful matches. In the strategy mode, the player adds both the falling and floating tiles in separate turns. In the speed mode, the floating tiles are added automatically every few seconds. Special tiles appear randomly on the gamefield. The magnet pulls a column upwards to the next row. The anvil is the opposite, pushing the column downwards one row. The joker face becomes a copy of the same type when touching other tile. The color bomb removes all tiles of the same type it lands on. The dynamite stack explodes one whole column. There is a bonus puzzle game between levels, where the objective is to clear the screen before time runs out. | ||

| Worms Blast | Team17 Software Limited / Ubi Soft Entertainment Software | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Worms Blast is a puzzle game similar in concept to Puzzle Bobble, with several important distinctions and gameplay features taken from Worms games. Instead of releasing and matching bubbles, the player has to color blocks on a hexagonal grid. Unlike most Bust-A-Move variants, the player character can move right and left, sailing in a boat. Various weapons, such as bazooka, grenades, dynamite, and others, can be used to fire at the blocks, coloring them on impact. Like in the main, artillery-based Worms games, holding down the fire button increases the power of the weapon, affecting the distance it travels. If the player hits a block that is either the same color as the missile fired, that block and any other same-colored blocks adjacent to it will be destroyed. Differently-colored blocks will not be affected by shooting at them; however, if they are held solely by a group of blocks of the same color, they will fall into the water when that group disappears. Blocks with rainbows on them can count as any color. Unlike Puzzle Bobble, there are no walls in single-player mode. If the player aims the weapon outside of the screen, a heavy object might fall on the player-controlled boat, damaging it. The game's main mode is called "Puzzle mode": the player completes various stages, the goal being different in each (e.g. shooting down certain forms of blocks, avoiding hostile blocks that move around the screen, etc.). Beside this mode, the game features a single-player tournament mode with high scores, as well as a variety of multiplayer modes. The action component is particularly noticeable in this mode, since the walls between the areas will periodically open, allowing players to use this opportunity to shoot at each other's boats. | ||
