| 1893: A World's Fair Mystery | Peter Nepstad / Illuminated Lantern | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The game takes place in the year 1893, the setting, Chicago, on the grounds of the World's Columbian Exposition. The Exposition is being held to celebrate - one year late - the 400th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of the New World. It is the largest tourist attraction America has ever known, before or since, drawing an estimated 27 million visitors before closing on October 31. You are a detective, just starting your own private firm, when you receive a telegram from your old partner Carl Masters, who has been placed in charge of the Columbian Guardsmen who patrol the Exposition grounds. It seems there has been a diamond theft on the grounds, and the case so puzzling he can think of no one with a chance of solving it except you. He requests you urgently make your way to Chicago, an offer you accept without hesitation. It will be a challenging case, something you haven't had in some time, and while you are there you hope to take in the sights and sounds of this World's Columbian Exposition. It's a well-written, atmospheric, and even educational text adventure reminiscent of Infocom's Sherlock: Riddle of the Crown Jewels. As theft turns to kidnapping, and kidnapping to murder, you find yourself at the center of a plot the extent of which you can only begin to imagine. There are many locations in the fair to visit, many characters to interview, and - of course - many puzzles to solve. Some puzzles are somewhat on the obscure side, but by and large they are logical and not too difficult. The on-line hint system does a good job of nudging you in the right direction one step at a time. The real star of the game is the amazing scope and attention to detail. The author went to great lengths to describe every little detail of the World's Fair, so much so that you can easily visualize the scenes. As if that is not enough, there are hundreds of historical photographs, and even some excellent music and sound effects to immerse you even further. Highly recommended to both IF enthusiasts and anyone who is interested in history. | ||

| Abashera | Max Magnus Norman | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Abashera is a first person maze - platform game. Your mission is to find, and sometimes activate, the exit by solving different tasks. The maps are filled with very single minded creatures and much of the point of the game is to learn these creatures behaviors. Different dogs eat each other, frogs jump when you move in front of them, you can kill green dogs by falling on them, etc. The game has no linearity at all, you do not need to solve one map before you move on to the next, and there is a good reason for this: Some maps are so hard that it takes a very patient genius to solve them. Fortunately for most of us, most maps are somewhat easier. Some maps are down right hilarious, such as "Slaughter house" where you are supposed to lead a whole stable full of half blind purple giraffes into a meat grinder.. The maps are built up by 20*20 squares and they can be 4 planes high. Even if this does not sound as much some maps seem enormous. You can design your own maps in a separate level editor. There is a few interesting things with this game. One thing is that there is nothing unnecessary at all in it. Everything that does not contribute to the gameplay is omitted. This does not stop it from having a few finesses though: If you look down you see your feet. There is a nifty function that lets you lean out over edges in order to look down. But the most interesting fact about this game is that it is no team behind its creation: Everything, design, music, programming, graphics, maps, etc is made by one single person: the Swedish artist Max Magnus Norman. | ||

| Adventures of Fatman: Toxic Revenge, The | Michael Doak / SOCKO! Entertainment | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The very first commercial AGS (Adventure Game Studio) title, the designer stopped printing new copies and proclaimed it as "abandonware" in December 2003 but re-released it again in 2009. Fatman, who looks like Batman's more obese cousin, is the crime fighter for the city of Shadowlawn. Just when you are complaining about how dull things have been, a supervillain named Toxicman is created from a botched act of corporate sabotage. It is up to you, then, to tear yourself away from food long enough to save the city from certain destruction. The game plays like a typical point-and-click adventure game. Puzzles tend to be on the easy side, but there are several more interesting ones that require correct timing. All the puzzles are logical, although there is a few far-fetched ones that seem to be there only for the sake of lengthening the game. While you cannot compare the graphics to commercial releases, the cartoon style is consistent with the game's wacky sense of humor and comic-book-hero premise. Backgrounds are well drawn and animated, and there are few cases of hunt-the-pixel problems (most at the beginning of the game). Bonus points must be given to the cast of voice actors, who did a much better job than numerous commercial CD-ROM games. The designer himself and Francisco Gonzalez are especially outstanding as the voice of Fatman and Toxicman, respectively. In addition to full voice, the CD-ROM also contains funny outtakes, deleted scenes and animations, as well as Pizza Quest, Michael Doak's first game. In March/2007 a Special Edition was released with an all new alternate ending, and new easy to use EXIT pop-up mouse mode. You could explore Fatman's bedroom, one of several re-mastered backgrounds and additions, and find the 9 Easter eggs, the extra 5 points and solve the new end game puzzle. | ||

This is a series of free adventure games made with AGS though there are also arcade games with the same characters as well (they aren't listed here). Prick Peckard is a detective in Evansville, in a world where the Earth has been reduced to wasteland and where humanity is living in great and enclosed cities. But humans aren't working except for a few; in reality, robots are doing everything that the people don't want to do anymore (like cleaning). However, some robots are dreaming of freedom, which is not allowed. Some of them are turning against humans. That's why a Robot Crimes Division was created. Peckard is one of the officers working in the department. #1 The Armageddon Eclair When he's given the case of a runaway robot, he doesn't know that he will live a dangerous adventure. The game is divided into two distinct parts. Finishing the first one will give you the password for the second. Xmas 0 Christmas Soup (2009) This features someone other than Prick as the player character. This short game showcases the domestic holiday adventures of Noriko and The Chief as they try to get everything ready in time for Christmas. But be warned, this mini-game has quite a bit of cheesecake semi-nudity. #4 The Prick Who Came In From The Cold (2004) This game also provides a great deal of back story for the Barn Runner universe (though you'll have to do a lot of looking around and ask a lot of questions to find it all). For the die hard Barn Runner fan who wants to know more about the wacky world Prick inhabits, this is the game for you. This small game has only about a dozen items to find, only one person to talk to, and a rather limited world to explore but there's also comic book style cut scenes. Xmas 2 Wreck The Halls (2007) The Chief orders Prick into the wilds of the BGCZ on a particularly festive winter night. His mission: Locate the source of a radio signal that is gathering escaped murderous robots together... but for what purpose? AGS Bake Sale 1: The Rich Dame Who Cut The Cheese (2012) created for a fundraiser to benefit the Child's Play Charity, Prick must find out who stole a wheel of antique cheese meant to be the centerpiece for an exclusive party for Evansville's most rich and famous. Along the way, he'll encounter stuffed shirts, plunging necklines, co-workers in fancy dresses, corrupt politicians, exotic Spanish accents, uncomfortable encounters in the mens's room, abandoned underwear, an AGS forum member masquerading as a lounge singer, gigantic TVs, cartoonishly over-sized breasts, crisp white linen, reflecting mirrors, overpriced cocktails, abundant whipped cream, and looping rooms! All this and Oceanspirit Dennis too! #5 The Forever Friday (2008-2012) Prick Peckard and his very much unwanted partner have to work together to reverse the effects of the Big Crazy before it claims Evansville as it has so many cities before. Has Prick's old foe The Robot Revolution finally succeeded in it's bid to bring about the last days of Mankind? Or does the appearance of a new cult preaching a doctrine of apocalypse have anything to do with this calamity? Most of all, can Prick find some way to ditch his new partner? This is a full-sized, epic length story consisting of a point-and-click adventure game, a first person shooter and a scrolling flight combat arcade game with four characters for the player to control and all the ridiculous moments you've come to expect. It has six chapters. Packed with extensive cut scenes, hidden quests, and loads upon loads of people of questionable innocence to interrogate, it is sure to be the ultimate Barn Runner experience, and all arcade sequences will be completely optional, you can even choose to skip them "on the fly" without restarting the game! Chapters 5 and 6 are still to be released. | ||

This is a short AGS adventure by Dave Gilbert. It was originally meant as the first part of a series, but the later games were never developed. Instead, it reappeared as the 2006 commercial remake The Blackwell Legacy, where large parts of this game are used, especially the storyline, and where the story is continued. Most of the puzzles do not reappear in the remake however. When young writer Rosangela visits the grave of her aunt, Lauren Blackwell, who has just passed away, she is not aware that the ghost of her aunt is present. Joey, another ghost, has guided Lauren, but will now leave her for Rosangela. The young writer decides to investigate the death of her aunt. Rosangela lived with her aunt until her aunt was hospitalized. The story takes place during two days, where Rosangela will meet her neighbour, visit her aunt's doctor, and investigates her family history in the local library. The two mouse buttons are used to examine items or trigger actions. Rosangela also has an inventory and a notebook with clues. These clues can be combined with the environment (e.g. with a computer, or another character) to get to know more. | ||

From Marcel Ancel, the maker of the Rayman games, this is a great action adventure that got quite a few rave reviews but whose sales weren't as good as expected. In the future, on the planet Hillys, the population suffers from constant attacks from the alien DomZ. The situation is gradually getting worse, as the rate of DomZ kidnapings increase. The Alpha Section forces, who are in charge of protecting citizens, seem to be completely ineffective, not even fighting the DomZ. In the midst of this situation, the secretive organization IRIS alleges that the Alpha Section is involved in a massive government conspiracy, and seeks to expose the truth through journalism. You control the young reporter/photographer Jade, with her companions Pey'j and Double H. After experiencing first-hand a DomZ attack, she is contacted by IRIS, who recruit her as an action reporter. Jade is now tasked with infiltrating the Alpha Section, exposing the government conspiracy, and ultimately finding the truth for herself. Most of this diverse game is based on stealth and puzzles, but there are sequences of racing, shooting, combat, and platform action. There are several mini-games and even an online ranking system (used by entering codes online after they are assigned in-game when the game is saved). As the game progresses, a large story unfolds, even dealing with some social issues on the way. A 20th Anniversary Edition was released in 2024 in up to 4K 60 fps with improved graphics and controls, along with updated audio and remastered soundtrack, and new quality-of-life features including autosave, cross-save, and cutscene-skip. There's a new speedrun mode and updated achievements, and learn more about the game’s development and secrets in the anniversary gallery. | ||

Bibi has to complete a bobbing flight in broomsticks by moonlight, sort faces mixed up in Witchcraft Mirroring, and properly mix hex potions. Their responsiveness is tested with Aunt Mania's wicked dresser, from which objects must be collected. In herbalism, Mania Bibi asks about herbs and their effects. Very important is the Witches Einmaleins, where witch customs are queried and hexology, for which Bibi must know their hexes by heart. Feeding owls in Hexschwebekunde is not an easy task, but still better than order and cleanliness. The subject does not like Bibi. Nevertheless, the escaped fireflies must be captured. Order and cleanliness are a must for every full-fledged witch. There are grades from one to six for completing the exams. The special attraction of the CD-ROM is that it masters all nine games so well that the witch product can be seen. The games are not too easy and can be played in any order. If you are satisfied with your results, you can print out his witch certificate and maybe even visit a proper school of witch soon. | ||

The Black Mirror is a point and click adventure game from Czech developers set around the aptly named Black Mirror mansion in England. You play the role of Samuel Gordon, who has returned there to attend his grandfather William’s funeral. Samuel believes foul play was involved with his grandfather’s death. As Samuel Gordon you will explore multiple locations within and outside of the mansion to undercover the truth behind William’s death. While investigating, other deaths continue to occur. How do these other deaths relate to William’s death? The game itself is a mystery/horror/detective game. The 2D graphics are very impressive as is the sound and help to greatly enhance the mood and atmosphere of the game. The game became a cult hit. With its grisly subject matter and relentlessly dark atmosphere, the game oozed tension and delivered plenty of perverse thrills, including your own death in disgusting fashion over and over again. It also ended with one of the most shocking finales of all time. It was followed by Black Mirror II in 2009 and concluded with Black Mirror in 2011. | ||

The Breakdown is an old school, point'n click adventure game. Like the ones made by Lucasarts (but not as cool). From your childhood, remember? If you don't, read the following: Adventure games are all about exploration and solving puzzles. By examining everything and picking up everything you can, you raise your odds to achieve success. That's true in real life, too. After the intro it will become clear, that you're playing the pointy haired main character, and your objective is to get to your home town and cash the winning lottery ticket in time. The game was developed with AGAST (Adventure Game Authoring System) made by Russell Bailey and Todd Zankich. | ||

|

No less than six years have gone by before the third installment in the Broken Sword trilogy saw the light of day. The first two games (The Shadow of the Templars and The Smoking Mirror) delved into both the Knights Templar and Mayan mythology. This time, George and Nico are after the Voynich Manuscript to unravel its mysteries. The Sleeping Dragon moves away from the point and click concept from the first two parts and features a full 3D world, with a camera that allows for cinematic drama combined with full 5.1 sound. Regardless of the technical innovations, The Sleeping Dragon is still a true adventure game at heart. | ||

Richard McRoch is an ex-Buccaneer and now a successful merchant. Until, one morning, he discovers something vital has been stolen. This is the story of the best MAGS game ever. The thing that makes it the best, obviously, is the strong plot. It's full of drama and excitement. The thing that also makes it such is that you actually care about the main character – something that is unbelievably hard to achieve in a 15-minutes long game. The ending is really well made and the graphics of the game are overall very good, for a MAGS game. The puzzle(s) are clever. | ||

This was the winner of the June 2003 MAGS Awards. The rules for the competition basically stated that every entry should be based on a film. The creator choose Casablanca, since it's one of his all time favourites. The game is also a kind of prequel to Nick it & Run. The game takes place at Mick's restaurant in Casablanca, the day after Ilsa and Lazslo left. You're not a very happy camper at the moment and Sam won't stop playing that silly "As time goes by" song. You task is to use ANY means to make him stop before you go nuts. There are a total four combined ways to complete this game, which will allow you to play over and over again trying to find new ways of making Sam shut up. | ||

| City of Secrets | Emily Short | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Possibly Short's most polished work, and that's saying something. In a city based on both high technology and magic, trains and robots and illusions, an innocent traveller gets swept into the center of a clandestine power-struggle which will forever change the city and how it is seen. Excellent world-building, not just in that the environment is highly explorable and implemented in great detail, but in that the city has a distinct foreign-metropolis-through-tourist-eyes flavor, and a history which makes itself known in various and subtle ways. Good sense of choice: although there's basically only one ending, much of what happens along the way is variable. Uses the conversation system from Pytho's Mask: a combination of menus and ask/tell that's sensitive to context and lets you change topics arbitrarily. Even though most characters will respond to a wide variety of topics, it's still easy to run out of things to say. Features a "novice" mode, but the standard mode is recommended for anyone but the absolute newcomer to IF. | ||

Time has not been kind to our Earth. The world is comprised of six city-states, each governed by their own laws, but subject to the Supreme Federal Government. Now it is over-populated, riddled with disease, poverty, organized crime and a depleted environment. In the futuristic city of Greece, life was good for Nick Delios. He was engaged to be married to a beautiful girl, and his career as a researcher and programmer in the highly competitive field of bio-electronic medical transplants was really taking off. Just when it looks like there's no where to go but up, everything goes haywire! Nick's boss, his fiance's brother, takes credit for his research, he is fired and the wedding is cancelled! Angry and depressed, he tries to drown his sorrows in booze, borrows some money and hits the gambling tables hoping for a break. His situation worsens when "Lady Luck" shows her ugly side and Nick has no choice but to accept "an offer he can't refuse". Things get more interesting when Thanos Pekas, Police Inspector and an old friend, asks him unofficially to help solve the murder case of a small time crook. But, of course, the case is not as simple as it sounds . You play Nick in first person perspective in a story that is mostly non-linear. Although the theme of the story is serious, the atmosphere is lightened by Nick's personality and sense of humor. Overall, the game has been compared to some of the later Tex Murphy games because of the science fiction mystery elements combined with sarcastic humor, full-motion video and live actors. Released initially for the PC on DVD-Rom only, it contains a standard point and click interface with inventory objects, conversations and a multitude of varied puzzles to be solved. | ||

The high production value of the game and its faithful adherence to the theme, style, and sound of the show will please fans. As you'd expect, CSI is a mystery adventure game that follows the format of the CSI show. You collect evidence, head to the lab, visit the morgue and so on. You scrutinize the game's screens, looking for evidence or areas that may contain hidden clues. You can use Luminal to find blood traces, you can dust for prints, and you can use the sniffer to get gas samples--all are familiar tools and methods used in the show. CSI fans will likely intuitively know when and where to use each item while adventure game fans will delight in having such new, high tech toys. CSI offers five quality storylines, each of which would feel at home on the show. While you don't get to fill the shoes of one of the show's well-known characters, you do get to work with each of them as you progress along the CSI investigative chain. Show characters join you to provide hints and help you establish the motive, means, and opportunity needed to determine and catch the bad guy. Fans of the show will forgive the short length of the game and merely adequate graphics just because of the quality storylines, use of the real actors, and respect shown the license. Travel through the dark, seedy side of Las Vegas, as you work alongside Grissom, Catherine and the rest of the CSI team in this thrilling first-person adventure. Put your thinking skills to the test as you question witnesses and examine crime scenes. Analyze evidence you collect utilizing the latest in forensic equipment. There's five crimes to investigate and solve. | ||

Derek is a point and click adventure game with a Christian theme and sequel to Nacah. A group of people had their Bible taken away from them centuries earlier and had forgotten all about it.

There are also some Quicktime video sequences with characters that help move the story along. In 2005, the game was re-released as Isles of Derek with numerous improvements like new voice acting for the captain and newly added features. | ||

The violence hidden behind the front doors is unfortunately a very frequent and generally tolerated phenomenon. And that's exactly why this game project came into existence. It's a part of the information campaign (supported by The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs) directed against domestic violence in Czech Republic. The game tries to simulate some aspects of the co-existence of a young man and woman. At the start, the player gains control over a character, male or female, of his choice. He defines the character's traits and specifies his/her appearance. He does the same when choosing the partner. Time to go to bed... And then it all starts. I guess you know it yourselves... Furnish the household? There isn't enough money to do that. Well, maybe we could afford a carpet. Go to the cinema? Who wants to, who doesn't? We'll both do our own thing, then. Oh no, it's back to work again. Well, if you don't want to, I'll not force you to? Or will I? That's up to the player... You can see the success of your efforts when you look at the characters' satisfaction. This is stated in a chart on the right side of the screen. On the left side there's another chart which tells you how your relationship is stable and satisfactory. The best player is the one who manages to play the longest time. | ||

A loving homage to Dragon's Lair and its FMV ilk, this game puts the player in control of "Guy" the stickman, imprisoned (for reasons left undiscussed) in a magical dungeon full of perilous traps and fantastical monsters. Guy needs to escape from it, and room by room he hopes to - if only he can survive the lethal challenges awaiting him throughout the dungeon's every nook and cranny. Gameplay consists of clicking the mouse on briefly-indicated "hot spot"s - quickly, lest a horrible fate befall Guy - and then watching the animated outcome as Guy interacts with his sketchy stickman nightmare world. Three chances is all he gets before the player is obligated to start from the beginning again, but like its predecessors, gameplay is expanded by running through different portions of the dungeon randomly with every new run-through. The game is only completed, however, when every room has been survived. | ||

It is May 1, 2017, 12:51 p.m. Without warning or explanation, seven people are suddenly trapped at a depth of 167 feet in the Marine Sea Park "LeMU." Water, air and food are in short supply, and LeMU's protective bulkhead can only withstand the pressure of the water for 119 hours. To top it off, there's a mysterious virius in the sea outside. Time is running out. The bonds among the seven people trapped under the ocean grow stronger as they fight to find a way to escape and survive the danger that threatens them. These are bonds of friendship, and bonds of love. But time waits for no one and the zero hour slowly, steadily approaches. With a climax that packs the ultimate in surprises, what could happen? Who will survive the crisis? A great new interactive PC game that offers the ultimate in suspense, now available in English. In this unique love-sim, each of the female characters has a unique set of circumstances that develop through five scenarios that you, the player, try to unravel as one of the two protagonists. To solve the game's puzzle romance is essential, and more specifically, if you succeed in realizing romance with one of the other characters, you will move a step closer to solving one part of the game. Only after succeeding at completing all of the five complex game scenarios will a player be able to savor a sense of having succeeded at this unique story-based simulation game. This game is called a "love story," but the goal of the player is not to find love with one of the female characters. The true objective is to attain an understanding of the entire scenario of the game and explore the possibilities with each character. How can you escape? Who will be sacrificed? Originally in Japanese, an English version was later released in 2005. | ||

This Spanish adventure has great graphics at a resolution of 640x480 and even 3D animated sequences while using AGS engine. The story takes place on the surface of the prison planet, a horrible environment full of dark and depressing forests. The main character here is one of the imprisoned girls. When on the surface of the planet a spaceship lands, she decides this is a chance to leave her exile and should not be missed. Although the ship stopped for maintenance - and it continues only to drive other inmates to prison, it's perfect and maybe the only opportunity to get away. Guards with phasers and damn keen eyes won't let hitchhikers on. So how do you get in? That will be for the players in the game itself to find out - and it will not be easy at all. Although this is the whole of the short game - to get gradually past two guards, it's incredibly difficult and can give trouble to even experienced adventurers. Why? Because the procedures that will be necessary to use, are not at all adventure cliches - they are realistic. Moreover, it is necessary to make some moves with the right timing - at the right time to hide, at the right moment to sneak behind his back, at the right time to use a sharp knife. | ||

This is another point and click adventure from Eastern Europe for kids 6 and older. This Czech eponymous Tale is inspired by Russian folklore, and focuses on the story of a young girl, Nastienka (Nastya), and a hero, Ivan. Nastienka is a young girl who has a new stepmother and stepsister to use and abuse her in classic fairy story ways. Ivan is a young hero, leaving home in search of a bride, learning humility along the way. The two story threads are nicely interweaved; we begin with Nastya before switching to Ivan. They eventually meet, before diverging again to continue their stories. The player must help Nastya to overcome her overbearing stepmother, weak father, and annoying stepsister, and help Ivan learn some degree of humility – he's a particularly obnoxious character to begin with. It is played in a full screen playing area, from the third person perspective, with the mouse only. There is an extensive inventory of objects to use to solve the puzzles in the game. Inventory items are changed by activities; some puzzles require the combination of items. Puzzles vary from knitting socks to extracting bears from fallen tree stumps, from defeating robbers to escaping a fiery dragon. The majority of puzzles are inventory based, but not exclusively. | ||

Regional or cultural geography is excluded to a large extent in this adventure, but the selected topics are already wide enough. The learning part, represented by a crystal, can be accessed during the whole game. The earth crystal is divided into 6 multi colour segments: The Blue Planet gives information about the earth within the solar system, Structure and Age of the Earth about the inside of our planet, The Dynamic Earth about continental drift while Unsettled Earth talks about volcanos and earthquakes. The topic erosion is found in Modeled Landscapes and the topic Mineral Resources is self explaining. Who believes now that it's a dry, academic game, can calm down, since the actual story is an imaginative fairytale far off disdainful data study and statistics. | ||

Hourglass of Summer is a Japanese visual novel that was released by Princess Soft. It was brought to the U.S. by the Hirameki International Group. It was one of the few interactive dating games that were first translated into English (although there was never an English voice dub for the US release). Originally, it was released exclusively in Japan in a PlayStation 2 format that could only be played on Japanese systems. Later, a PC version, also exclusively Japanese, was released, only this time with erotic content added to it. The U.S. version was released as an interactive DVD. The story revolves around a Japanese sophomore named Kotaro Makimura. As the school year ends and summer vacation approaches, he decides to admit his feelings to his crush, the beautiful Kaho Serizawa. As hopeless as the situation looks to his best friends Ai and Takeshi, he is determined to make Kaho his girlfriend by the end of summer vacation. However, on his way home, he has a collision with a mysterious stranger, and ends up getting covered in a strange multi-colored powder. When he wakes up the next day, he finds himself waking up on September 1st - the first day of the next school year. He also learns that Kaho, who had been his girlfriend, had died in a car accident. Eventually, Kotaro discovers that he has begun day-dropping, in which he skips days, and goes back and forth in time through different days of the summer vacation. With the help of Ligene the Time Patroller (also translated as Lee Jane), Kotaro must win Kaho's heart and prevent her tragic death before he runs out of time. | ||

A learning adventure that deals - as the name says - with the concepts of data processing, computer science. We slip into the role of a young assistant during an unusual archaeological excavation. Our uncle, Jaques Moreau, is the leader of a nine-headed team engaged with a recently discovered advanced culture, that already used ingenious calculating machines, codes and algorithms 7000 years ago. This civilization hasn't only left stone buildings, but also a number of artifacts, machines, the relevant language and a decimal number system, in which they laid down the knowledge of their culture. The archaeologists call the people Ba-it-anians, which corresponds to the computer-technical unit "byte" if you listen to the sound of the word. Our nameless hero - uncle always calls him 'my boy' - arrives exactly at the time in the excavation place, when some valuable artifacts disappeared and uncle Jaques deploys him to clear the theft. Additionally an act of sabotage leads to burying one of the team members and the game becomes a whodunnit story. The emphasis is on dialogue-based puzzles on the one hand and logic-, coding or decoding puzzles on the other hand. In addition there is a set of inventory/object-based tasks. Some puzzles are combined with the recognition and replay of sound sequences or Morse codes. | ||

In Law & Order II, based on the popular television show mixing police and lawyers, you have to solve a murder case with the advantages and restrictions of dealing with the law as your instrument. Here everything you investigate, collect and use as proof must be ultimately done by the book, or face rejection in a court of law. The game mechanics center on: - Questioning: Think about the questions you make because the questioning process is truly dynamic... ask the wrong question and you just might end irreversibly shunned off. However if you feel you led the questions the wrong way, you're presented with the option to redo the questioning. - Item processing: The items you pick up are more evidence than traditional direct puzzle pieces, so count on a few departments such as analysis lab to turn your findings into solid evidence. - Court intervention: Proper investigation will reward you with a smooth court intervention in your aim to achieve a guilty verdict, and while there are two clear stages for investigation and trial, the latter one will not dispense additional investigation to tighten the accusation. | ||

| Loophole Skrattmagi Och Glädjetvuvar [Sw] | Idol FX AB / TV4 Vision AB | [top] | |

|
|
Loophole was originally an interactive television game similar to the Hugo series where players phoned in and competed live in a Swedish children TV show. This home computer version features the same world and characters but has completely different gameplay. Unlike the arcade action gameplay of the TV game, this version is more similar to a point-and-click adventure game. It is played entirely with mouse and the world of Loophole is presented through a combination of 3D models and pre-rendered backgrounds. The game takes place in the town of Broomfrost which is threatened by the ghost general Boogiboo who has cast a curse on it. This causes the citizens to become grumpy and easily irritated and if the curse is not broken they will turn into ghost nibblings which in turn will spread the irritation to more people. The only person that can stop this is Yuma, a young magician apprentice who the player has to navigate through the town, meet the inhabitants and do their errands. Upon completing an errand, which usually involves finding and bringing back a certain item, the citizen will be cured. Time is limited though since the people will get increasingly irritated until they turn into ghost nibblers. Citizens that have turned can only be saved with the use of laughter magic but this comes in limited supply and can only be recharged by collecting certain green plants. To win the game the player simply has to save a certain number of people, which depends on the difficulty level chosen. At the same time the game can be lost if too many people turn into ghost nibblings. In addition to the citizens there are also visitors arriving at the space harbour that the player has to help get to the right locations. These are also affected by the curse and are considered saved when they reach their destinations. | ||

This free fan-made Monkey Island parody is considered the best one ever made. It's a sequel to the same author's earlier game called The Devil's Triangle. Guybrush ultimately finds himself washing up on Scabb Island with no memory of the past few months and one goal stuck in his mind: to find the legendary treasure of Big Whoop for no comprehensible reason. It's all happened before years ago in the early nineties. Now it's happening again. He is smarter, faster, stronger. He has been rebuilt. We have the technology. It's the same old game with a brand new twist. Originally inspired back in 2000 after seeing "Mission: Impossible 2", the silly concept has Guybrush Threepwood reenacting MI2, except with martial arts and guns. Ripping off every movie imaginable to retell the classic story of pirates versus zombies. The goal was to make something both stupid and epic, and possibly raise the standards for what can be done with fan-game programming engines. It has short fully-animated cinematics (including fight scenes and explosions!), interrogating people on a number of topics, stupid easter eggs, and optional Pop-Up Factoids. There's 9 alternate endings; if you don't like one, you can choose from eight others. It also has over 135 minutes of gaming (if you know what you're doing), over 40 minutes worth of endings, and 6 annoying arcade sequences. | ||

| Magnetic: The Game of Games | Peter Hewitt / Mulawa | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Magnetic is the second independently developed adventure from Australian Peter Hewitt, the creator of Xiama—and just like his previous game, this time the tag of "adventure" may be stretching it just a bit. Xiama was a puzzlefest, pure and simple, and if you loved tons of puzzles of great variety strung together with little to no storyline or relevance, it was a game for you. Magnetic is a game in which, to be successful, you have to be really good at games. One welcome refinement is the addition of an in-game assistant. Rather than enter your name, you select from one of six digital sidekicks. You simply click on your chosen sidekick at the start of a session and away you go. Be advised that your digital buddy is responsible for autosaving your games and keeps track of both your successes and your failures. Your digital buddy also serves as a docent who, if asked, will provide hints as to how a game (or puzzle) works and what must be done in order to beat (or solve) it. Even with the hints, there is plenty of "I wonder what will happen if I do this?" in Magnetic as one attempts to dope out the mechanics of the various games and puzzles. There are 31 challenges in all, some slight, some substantial. Once Magnetic's first big challenge has been beaten, players must locate and beat 15 simpler stumpers to gain access to the 15 major challenges. Once a major challenge has been reached, even if it has not been beaten, Magnetic provides a visual menu that allows players to return immediately to it for another go. The photographic backgrounds are quite attractive, the individual games and puzzles have a bit more polish than those found in Xiama and the soundtrack is sufficiently subdued (birds, surf, an occasional musical flourish) to allow one to concentrate on the tasks at hand. In 2010, an entirely redesigned and rewritten version named Magnetic Revisited was released. On Jan/2017, the developers games were made freeware. | ||

Conversations can be had with other characters, and an inventory of items is kept, much like its predecessor. There are also some minigames. Kolhii matches, however, are a big part of the game, and winning these is required to progress. | ||

| Melrin 1-3 | Joacim Andersson | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
#1 The Disciple Ordeal Can't tell you what this game is about because the first puzzle is to find out where Melrin (the hero of the game) is and how he got there and why. It will appeal to fans of the Zelda games and the like. Taking place in a wonderful fantasy land, Melrin offers a range of huge locations to explore, all of which create a beautiful atmosphere for the game. The graphics are really attractive and you'll love exploring the kingdom. Melrin encounters very little life-threatening danger on his journey so the vibe of the game is relaxed and thoroughly delightful. Although Melrin is an amiable enough lead, the characters he meets along the way are very developed, offering only straight to the point dialogue. There are no real verbal exchanges to cherish here. On the plus side, this does make the games very pacy and Melrin himself has some amusing dialogues with the players themselves. #2 The Pendant Quest (Aug 2004) This time Melrin has the find the royal pendant that has been stolen or a curse will destroy his land by fire and water. Unlike in the first gamel, you can't die in this one. You must however create a lot of magic spells using your magic book and your portable cauldron. The graphics have been improved into a more lush, cartoony look and the game has the same easy going, relaxed charm as the first one but the game is far shorter than the first. #3 The Dragon Menace (Oct 2004) This time a rumour has reached the royal court that a dragon is pestering the country side. The king sends out Melrin to investigate. To solve the many puzzles that exist in this game you need to create magic spells and combine many inventory items. The GUI is simular to the earlier games. You have your magic bowl in which you mix items to create the spells that you can read about in your Book of Spells. You also have a magic map, look at it (right click) to use it. | ||

Sen awakes from a deep sleep aboard a strange space vessel. He has no recollection of the past -- who he is, where he is or why he is here. Exploring his surroundings, he learns about Sarpedon, an ancient colony on the isolated planet around which his abandoned craft is orbiting. In a recording left 200 years before, he learns that he caused the planet's desolation and is being punished for his crimes. But, he has no memory of what happened. Before his spaceship falls out of orbit, he must get out and descend to the surface. In this original story by famed Australian science fiction author, Terry Dowling, you play Sen in first-person perspective. Explore the beautiful Sarpedon, the one valley which escaped destruction during a terrible global war. Change Sen's appearance to infiltrate the camps of feuding tribes using the advanced "Chameleon" technology. Help Sen unravel the mysteries that involve an intriguing, revengeful plot, an alien invasion, and a mistaken identity. This game has a similar mouse-driven, point-and-click interface to the first game, Schizm, including how the inventory is managed and how you interact with characters and objects - but the story is completely different. The environment is 3D and "real time" incorporating Touchdown's Jupiter engine (the same engine used in the game No One Lives Forever 2). Features include an original soundtrack, a multitude of ambient sound effects, and video cut scenes in third person perspective. | ||

In this eighth adventure in the Nancy Drew series, a curse has closed Captain's Cove Amusement Park. Someone has stolen one of the carved wooden horses from the park carousel, despite old tales that say bad luck will befall the park if the horses are ever separated. At first Nancy Drew believes the disappearance is tied to an unsolved jewel theft... but is the carousel hiding another secret, too? Like all of the previous games. it is a first-person role playing game that lets players explore its richly imagined amusement park setting while solving the spate of mysterious incidents that have shut down the park. Featuring well-drawn characters, some tough but satisfying puzzles, arcade games, and plenty of thrills, this game is sure to satisfy. Though the game design and artwork have the winsome flavor of the original Nancy Drew novel series, the tools the teen sleuth has to work with are utterly modern. A cell phone keeps players in touch with faithful friends like George, Bess and even the Hardy Boys. Nancy's laptop lets you pick up helpful e-mails that assist in analyzing clues. The game informs as it entertains. As players unravel the mystery they also learn a few basics about electrical repair, carousel design history, the uses of a lathe, and decoding old stenographic documents. In this way, it seamlessly and safely allows girls to truly inhabit the role of Nancy - to be resourceful, clever, persistent and, of course, more than a little snoopy. Player confidence is only enhanced by the game's structure, which poses some tough challenges but also makes sure you have the tools to solve them, and provides lots of encouragement along the way. Captain's Cove is not without its dangers, however. Carelessness could plunge Nancy into a dangerous accident, which leads to getting her banned from the amusement park property. Fortunately, the game is very forgiving, allowing you to choose a "Second Chance" option that lets you revisit - and revise - any critical mistakes. | ||

This Nancy Drew adventure takes place on an island in the Pacific Northwest where she goes to do some whale-watching. The mystery centers around an Orca whale that has appeared in the channel. Everyone in the town of Snake Horse Harbor has a different opinion about what should be done about the whale, including the person who invited you there, Katie Firestone. Evidently Katie has ruffled someone's feathers because her tour boat is vandalized and she received a threatening note to "stop meddling." Something sinister is certainly going on here, and Nancy begins to investigate. You play Nancy Drew as she explores the island on foot, bicycle or in a kayak. Hit the beach and build a sandcastle or search the lighthouse. Visit the Whale Center and the Hot Kettle Cafe. Like other games in the series, this is a point-and-click game that involves talking to several characters and solving puzzles to unravel the mystery. | ||

| Neon Genesis Evangelion: Girlfriend of Steel 2nd | Gainax Network Systems | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an adventure anime-style video game, and manga based on that game, set in the alternate universe seen in episode 26 of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The player controls Shinji Ikari, the hero of the original Evangelion series, as he navigates his home, school, and social life in a now-peaceful "Tokyo-3". Each character from the original Evangelion makes an appearance but some of their circumstances and personalities have radically changed. Misato Katsuragi is now a popular homeroom teacher, and Ritsuko Akagi is the school nurse (however, these two still have their posts at Nerv from the original storyline). Asuka Langley Soryu is Shinji's childhood friend and neighbor, Kaworu Nagisa is an enigmatic playboy type who has known Shinji for years, and Rei Ayanami is a hyperactive transfer student. Although the game's name suggests it is a sequel to the previous Evangelion visual novel Girlfriend of Steel, the story is unrelated, keeping only the gameplay. The game received a manga adaptation by Fumino Hayashi titled in English Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days. The game functions as a visual novel-style "additional episode". While this game features official art, backgrounds and music in the style of the original series and full-voice, it is fundamentally different from the first Girlfriend of Steel. The artwork was done by a new team, but the voices were provided by the same voice actors from the original series cast. The game also has dating sim elements and includes three "dateable" characters (Rei, Asuka, and Kaworu). Reward CG for each character can be uncovered and collected in a CG gallery accessible from the game's main menu. In spite of its "Alternate Universe" billing, elements of the original Evangelion make appearances: plugsuits, mentions of Gendo Ikari's research in creating an artificial human being, Ritsuko's past feelings for Gendo and visual and verbal references to Angels and Evangelions. | ||

| New Adventures of Zak McKracken, The | LucasFan | [top] | |

|
|
This is an excellent fanmade game that stars one of LucasArts' most beloved characters: the hapless reporter Zak McKracken. The game started seamlessly where LucasArts' game left off more than 14 years ago. No sooner than Zak came home from his harrowing save-the-world-from-aliens experience that he learned Annie has been kidnapped. Once again, it is up to Zak to find his beloved and save the world in the process. Anyone who has played the original game (and you simply must play it if you consider yourself an adventure gamer) will feel right at home with TNAOZM. The interface, style, and sense of humor are faithful to LucasArts' classic, right to the smallest details and in-jokes that are generously sprinkled throughout the game. You even use the F5 key to call up the save/load/quit menu :) The graphics are very nice, and look similar to the 256-color version of the original Zak McKracken that LucasArts made for Japan's now-defunct FMTowns console. You interact with the game by clicking on verbs from the bottom menu, and an object in your inventory or on screen. The puzzles are not as ingenious as in the original game, but they are pretty decent and not repetitive. It would have been nice to be able to use keyboard shortcuts (e.g. "U" for "Use"), but that is a small complaint. The original German version contained a tasteless and perverted ending, which fortunately has been removed in the translated version. If you liked Quest for Glory 4 1/2 and other fanmade adventures, you will still have a lot of fun with Zak in his new adventures. A wonderful and polished fanmade adventure that remains true to the spirit of LucasArts. | ||

This is a short-length free adventure game with a feel to it that's similar to LucasArts adventure games like Day of the Tentacle or Sam and Max. You play as Al Gurbish, an agent who has been asked by an agency to work on a mission of sorts, since it is a difficult mission and the agency does not want to risk losing any good agents. They have decided to choose Al for this difficult assignment, because he is one of the worst agents the agency has ever had and, well, he wouldn't be much of a loss if he happened to end up six feet under. So now it'll be up to Al to discover the plot of a mystery concerning one of the most prestigious award ceremonies for adventure games, The Stans! I appears that there is a plot to steal the main award, The Silver Stan and now Al needs to get to the bottom of this. Puzzles are challenging; they really make you think. It's a great game, from great looking graphics, to a fun overall feeling while in the game, which make it an enjoyable game to play. | ||

This is an interactive science fiction novel you talk to in full English sentences. Thanks to interactive fiction, you can step inside this story and become the hero in a magical world that only you can save. Along the way you'll meet up with some interesting characters, learn how to use magic, capture valuable treasures and rescue your friends, nobles and common folk as you strive to beat the dark forces assailing the Empire at their own game. Shattered trust, murdered innocence and dark pacts have plunged the Kingdom of Pentari in chaos. Rogue wizards have captured the city of Delphin and hold kingdom nobles prisoner. They conspire to overthrow the Kingdom itself but they won't stop there. You are sent into the turmoil to strive against unknown foes and dangers as you re-take the city and restore order. First Light delivers a colossal adventure; you have nearly 300 locations to explore (as much as Zork 1-3 combined) including a city to be searched, an underground complex to explore, as well as monsters and wizards to contend with. The friendly folks you'll meet can be a handful too! It's multi-faceted; this isn't simply a gather-the-treasures and solve-the-puzzles text adventure game. Because there are nobles to rescue, murder to avenge, mysteries to be solved and ultimate evil that can only be confronted in the place of their greatest power. You'll experience a wide range of emotions as you make your way in and around Delphin. Some things you'll see will charm you while a few characters may infuriate you. Not only that, you'll probably be laughing a good deal of the time with much light-hearted humor throughout the game. | ||

| Perils Of Poom | Michael Evans / Screen7 | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This free AGS made game is set in a dystopian future where space travel is the norm. Crime is at an all-time high, and drug use is rife. The game is a unique mixture of the serious and truly hilarious, every stage of the game kept me riveted. The puzzles, for the most part, aren't especially difficult, but there is the occasional brain-teaser that will tax you. The game begins on an ordinary day in the life of a young man named Mac. He's late for work (as usual), and once again his boss chews him out when he arrives. This time he is down to his last warning. When things couldn't get any worse, two of Mac's colleagues lock him in the break room just as Mac is due for a staff meeting. This whole first section of the game is presented through a combination of long, fully-animated cutscenes interspersed with interactive parts. This is indicative of the game as a whole - there are many long, involved cutscenes, full of realistic and often humourous dialogue. Probably 20% of the whole game is acted out through these cutscenes, and this makes the game hugely immersive and atmospheric. Mac's quest takes him to several very different locations: a sand-covered desert planet (think Tatooine from Star Wars), an intergalactic gas station, and a volcanic world. On these worlds Mac meets lots of varied and interesting people, all of whom have unique personalities and motivations. The dialogues are very realistic, and Mac's own questions and responses are very amusing. Another novel feature of the game is a "bonus area" after the game's end. During the game there are three opportunities to *do something* (to tell you what would give it away). Should you do this all three times, you will unlock the bonus area, in which two minor characters from the game go on a long and hilarious rant about the effect Mac's quest had on them. | ||

Gamers are fetched back on the same planet of the first game by a mysterious help call. Some time ago a meteorite hit the planet. But the traces are hardly discoverable anymore and the planet is also abandoned by the scientists once living there in the meantime. The players must succeed in entering the inside of the laboratories. In the laboratories you'll find clues: a video tape of the scientists and a spaceship of a far planet. A chamber of the spaceship is empty and there is a survivor: A child named Soi, who badly needs help. Though a shuttle exists to return Soi to his planet, the spacecraft is missing energy and the gas mixture for Soi and the inside of the capsule must be manufactured, so that the child can breathe. Will we succeed to re-activate the space shuttle and send Soi to his homeland? We slip into the role of a nameless female protagonist, who can move from island to island with a dirigible airship, as soon as we procured the necessary flight modules. In addition we must solve the riddles on the 4 islands. The relevant information for puzzle solutions can be found in the learning part (in the shape of a laptop). It is divided into 7 chapters, where only atom physics and theory of relativity are new compared to the predecessor game. It's designed interesting and also partly interactive, and surely motivates to look at passages without game necessity. However necessary for the game was information about the laser light, and it didn't quite make sense to me, why it couln't be found in optics but atom physics. This already shows that puzzle-relevant information is sometimes very well hidden, what forces fast players to at least browse the learning part in all sections. That learning part can be independently played - in contrast to the context-sensitive one of Historion - and pleases in its clarity, example choice, graphic and acoustic representation. | ||

Samorost is a click-and-point adventure game, created by Jakub Dvorsky while he was a student at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, department of Graphic Design and Visual Communication in 2003. You indirectly control a little gnome who travels to an incoming world about to collide with his home world. You move screen by screen, trying to find a solution to vague puzzles. Interaction is triggered by clicking hotspots. The game has an isolated atmosphere, with eerie music. It is never very clear what needs to be done, but often you need to cause a combination of events to keep travelling. The gameplay mixes technological ideas with purely organic structures, in very surreal environments. It's a wonderfully bizarre and strangely fun Flash adventure game that is full of clicky puzzles and beautifully rendered scenes mixed with animations and various gadgetry. The soundtrack is delightful with sound effects and music to fit the mood of the surrealistic adventure. It's not very long, but will keep you busy for just the right amount of time. It's quite large though, measuring 950 pixels wide by 750 pixels tall. Enjoy this masterpiece of creativity and interactive art. Originally released as browser-based flash game, Telltale Games offered the game through their electronic store at the end of October 2006, with a Windows installer that does not require a browser or a flash player installed. In 2021, a Steam version included: remastered sounds, enhanced graphics, and new music by Floex. | ||

Turn left or right? Go East or West? Fight or flee? It's up to you but you live (or die) by the consequences. The CG animation quality is equal to the current level of game animation. But though the characters are vividly rendered, there's sparseness to the settings - it's like watching a re-run of Re-boot where the characters have cool clothes and weapons but they're running around a less detailed forest or castle or village. | ||

| Seiklus | clysm (tapeworm) | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Seiklus (Estonian for "adventure") is an unusual and distinctive platform game created by a single author, cly5m, using Mark Overmars's Game Maker game development software. The game took approximately 6 months to complete. It has an emphasis on exploration - there is no dialogue or literary exposition of the plot. The game consists of various different, loosely connected areas the player has to explore, collecting both items to help on the way and floating "wisps" of various colours, which should optimally be all obtained. Seiklus has no weapons and no violence. There are various "hostile" lifeforms in some areas, but at worst they only set you back a little. It is impossible to die or get stuck. | ||

| Sinkha 2: Hyleyn | Virtual Views | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Hyleyn is the second title in the Sinkha Project, a massive undertaking by Italian artist Marco Patrito. It tells a wonderful and elaborate science fiction story through a series of graphic novels that started with Sinkha, first published in CD form in 1995. At the time, Sinkha was published as a special edition by Heavy Metal magazine, the decades-old gold standard for quality graphic arts stories. The second in the series is an equally impressive effort, with incredibly detailed renderings and a captivating story. These are graphic novels, redone using multimedia tools to expand the static stories and give them depth and motion. There are no puzzles or, for that matter, anything to solve. Hyleyn's style is similar to (but not the same as) L-Zone and Gadget or maybe even The Legend of Lotus Spring. These are all titles that focus primarily on story and art, versus player interaction, although Lotus Spring is more of a game than the others. This sci-fi space opera follows the story is of a beautiful girl, Hyleyn, who has become involved with immortal beings of superhuman capabilities, the Sinkha. Through a series of circumstances, she is no longer completely human but is now part Sinkha. Together with her friends from the Sinkha, Darshine and Aker, Hyleyn embarks on an adventure to save a world from an encroaching invasion. | ||

| Slouching Towards Bedlam | Star Foster & Daniel Ravipinto | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Well-deserved first place winner of the ninth Annual Interactive Fiction Competition, Slouching Towards Bedlam is a modern-day classic from Daniel Ravipinto and Star Foster. Mike Russo's review as posted on the rec.games.int-fiction newsgroup says it all about this amazing game. The game involves eschatology, a British insane asylum, a player character whose mental state is very much in doubt, gnosticism, a memetic word-virus, steampunk, the "Second Coming" of W.B. Yeats, the Kabbalah, and a Benthamite panopticon of the type deconstructed by Michel Foucault in his seminal work Discipline and Punish (and I wouldn't be surprised if the authors had also read Madness and Civilization). The endgame is perhaps the most impressive of Slouching Towards Bedlam's many achievements. Once the mystery is solved, the player must make a difficult choice. While some answers are easier than others, there is no facile "right" solution; ambiguity is inevitable. Even acting on one's choice can be quite difficult; the Logos is a powerful entity, and arresting its growth requires sacrifices far more terrible than merely the player character's life: to be humanity's savior is to be a monster. | ||

| Space Quest 0: Replicated | Jeff Stewart | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an excellent fanmade Space Quest game set in a time before all SQ games (hence the name Space Quest 0), Replicated finds our hero Roger Wilco posted aboard Labion Orbital Station 10, a Class 3 Cloning Facility in space. Similar to Space Quest 1, Roger wakes up from one of his now-famous supply closet naps to find all of his crewmates murdered by someone... or something. Your job, naturally, is to help Roger escape the station and visit Labion to find out what happened. The game uses Sierra's AGI interpreter, so the feel and gameplay are identical to Space Quest 1 and 2: type in simple sentences like TAKE CARD and OPEN DOOR to interact with the game. Pressing TAB brings up your inventory, and F4 allows a close look at inventory items. The graphics is not as detailed as The Lost Chapter, but as we don't fondly recall early SQ games because of graphics anyway, that is not important. Suffice it to say that the game's graphics is up to par with what Sierra achieved in its 16-color AGI games, and fans of the SQ series will find nothing out of place or amateurish. The parser is also up to par with Sierra's AGI games, and the plot is engaging. What makes Space Quest 0 much better than your average amateur games is the variety of puzzles, none of which particularly difficult, but all are logical and fun to solve. In contrast to the official SQ games, you will even have a chance to combine inventory items to make new ones several times in the game. While Replicated is not as long as Space Quest 2, it is no less fun to play. All in all, if you are a Space Quest fan (and if you play adventure games, there's a 99% chance of that), you simply must check out this excellent fan game that remains not only faithful to the spirit of Sierra's classic, but also adds a whole new memorable chapter to the saga of our favorite space janitor. | ||

This is a short point-and-click adventure game set at a all-girls boarding school. It was created as part of the 2003 Interactive Fiction Competition. Use the mouse to navigate around the school, picking up items, solving puzzles, and investigating mysteries. You play as Amy, a student in a private boarding school. While attending school, you live in a small cottage with four other girls and a resident teacher. Your best friend at school is a girl named Juliet, and today is her sixteenth birthday. Just after lights-out, you've gone over to her room to give her a birthday present. This is a fairly short game. It shouldn't be possible to put yourself in an unwinnable state, but it's a good idea to keep a few saved games. The pathfinding AI is a trifle unreliable. Sorry. The soundtrack is provided as a set of MP3s - place them in a subdirectory labeled sounds. If your computer can't play MP3s, they won't work right (Unlikely, but just in case.) The game will run without the soundtrack, so you can simply delete the sounds if you don't want them. The game was later made freeware. | ||

The Uncertainty Machine is a point and click adventure game made with AGS (Adventure Game Studio) which takes place in the near future. The big cities where middle and upper class citizens live are separated from the run-down "off-limits" areas, which are home to the poor. Life in the city is perfect, with no crime whatsoever. Then one day, Susan Gant, a reporter, is given a simple assignment to investigate a robbery of a prestigious politician for a story. Then she realizes that not everything is what it seems. In contrast to most other amateur adventure games, the SVGA scenes in this one are very well drawn, with a lot of details - even if there are few objects you can interact with. It has plenty of traditional inventory-based puzzles that are both logical and interesting (including a pretty clever use of nail polish), an intuitive mouse-based interface that fans of Broken Sword will feel at home with, and a good dose of real-world physics that lends an air of authenticity and depth to the game, even if it's not entirely accurate. Schrödinger's cat, the uncertainty principle, and even a Beneath A Steel Sky-style (dystopian) vision of our future are woven into the game, creating a compelling experience. A full length game, with approximately 90 different scenes to explore, 40 dialogues, and 80 inventory items. | ||

Wintermute Engine (commonly abbreviated as WME) is a set of software tools and a runtime interpreter (game engine) primarily designed for creating and running graphical adventure games. Starting with version 1.7 in 2006, Wintermute Engine was distributed as donationware, meaning that it's completely free to use for both commercial and non-commercial purposes, but if the users find it useful, they are encouraged to make a donation to support its further development. Since 2013, it's hosted on Bitbucket and released under a MIT License. The game engine provides most of the features necessary for creating classic 2D graphical adventure games. Although originally built as a 2D graphics engine, with a built-in script interpreter for implementing game logic, it provides support for the combination of real-time 3D characters and 2D backgrounds, a combination sometimes known as "2.5D", that has become the de facto standard for modern adventure games (for example Syberia, Still Life), and survival horror games. | ||

In this humorous quiz game, up to three players have to answer multiple choice questions; a correct answer awards a certain amount of money (depending on the difficulty) . The player with the most amount of money after 13 questions wins. Every correct and false answer is followed by a humorous reply by host Jack. Players can "nail" other players to force them to answer a question - but if the other player actually knows it, it has a negative affect on his points. The game features overall 300 questions (600 in the German version). There are several additional question types which sometimes have to be played: Typing in a word to complete a word series or sentence; A nonsensical sentence is given and players have to type in the phrase which rhymes to it; Solving an anagram; A special question type for one player requires him to match seven words into two categories, e.g. if "Ravioli" is the name of a composer, a noodle or both; A certain date, e.g. the birth of Jesus Christ, is given and players have to say if other happenings occurred before it, after it or never. The last question is always the Jack Attack which plays with associations. So for example the pointer is "Extremes meets" and a term is shown on the center of the screen. Then multiple other terms fly into the screen; one of them is fitting for both the pointer and the given term. If this one appears on screen players have to quickly press a button to receive money - but if they are wrong, they lose it. After the correct answer is given (or no one answers), the next of seven terms is given. | ||

This is a 3D video game adaptation of the classic Battleship home game. Either a human player can play against the computer or human players can compete against each other via TCP/IP network play. Each player gets a 10x10 grid of water squares that are occupied by a fleet of 10 ships - there is one ship that occupies 4 squares and then there are 2 3-square ships, 3 2-square ships, and 4 1-square ships. Naturally, players can not see the other player's ships. A player makes random strikes against the opponent's nautical positions and is informed when one of the strikes hits something. This is used to estimate where more of a particular ship may lie. After one player manages to sink the other player's entire fleet, the game treats the participants to a replay of the entire battle, but with both fleets in plain view. | ||

| Capcom Arcade Hits Vol. 3: Commando & Gunsmoke | Hanaho Asia / Selectsoft Publishing, Capcom | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
A compilation pack of two of Capcom's arcade greats - the forward-scrolling shooters Commando and Gunsmoke. Not only are the original arcade games represented in their original form and featuring full support for joysticks and difficulty adjustment, but the package also includes a PDA version of Commando for iPaq Pocket PC systems. Both games have one or two player options. The games come with a launcher program that allows both games to be customised. Through this launcher the player can redefine the action keys and joystick buttons, change when bonuses are awarded, and even change the start level. Commando is a vertically scrolling shooter staring an elite soldier named Super Joe. The object is to help Super Joe blast through enemy lines, destroying compounds and rescuing hostages along the way, over the course of 16 stages. Armed with a machine gun and supply of grenades, you must carefully avoid near continuous gunfire from rival troops, tanks, and jeeps. Trees, bunkers, and similar barriers can serve as a temporary reprieve from the onslaught of bullets, and extra lives can be earned by achieving specific point milestones. While Super Joe has an unlimited amount of ammunition, he must periodically replenish his grenade supply by finding crates left behind by enemies. GunSmoke is a top-down scrolling shooter that casts the gamer as a lone gunman, out to save the gold rush town of Hicksville from a fearsome group of bandits known as the Wingates. Each level has a particular target enemy, although his or her henchmen must also be taken out. Although it largely takes place on foot, the gameplay resembles Commando, with its top-down action. The screen scrolls at a constant rate, and enemies come at you from the edges, to be shot or avoided. You can grab various power-ups along the way. Finding a horse will allow you to get hit twice before you die rather than just once. There are scenes in which you raft up a river and use the tracks of a railway line. | ||

Based on Dr Seuss's Cat in the Hat, the live-action movie version starring Mike Myers, you play as the cheeky cat. There are all the original characters including, Conrad, Sally, and Mr. Quinn who tricked Conrad, and Sally into opening the box the Cat was in, as he was released into the outside world. Although the main characters are real people that have been digitalized, the backgrounds and other objects like enemies and collectibles are all imaginary. The Cat must help Conrad and Sally to return the magic to the box the cat came in, and get all three pieces of the "Crab Lock" in order to lock the box for good. The game allows to the see the rooms that where not included in the movie. Players control the Cat as he moves around the house in a platform style game. The Cat can use his umbrella to glide across ledges. He can glide with it, use it as a shield, pound items by bouncing downwards, and blow bubbles with it. The bubbles are used defensively, and can capture enemy creatures inside for more powerful weapons. Besides collecting the magical circles, which are needed to build up the Cat's magic in order to move from room to room, the Cat will also collect cake pieces for health points, and four keys per room from Thing 1 and Thing 2 (no, I don't know how Things 1 & 2 are suddenly four things holding four keys now), which will open up a bonus level in each room. | ||

The story of Chaos Legion is based on a light novel of the same name, written by the Japanese author Tow Ubukata. The events begin in the year 791 A.S. (Anno Satanis). The protagonist of the game is a Knight of the Dark Glyphs named Sieg Wahrheit. His best friend, Victor Delacroix, blames him for the death of Siela, Victor's sister and Sieg's lover. Unable to contain his despair, Victor decides to "purify" the sins of the world by unleashing hordes of monsters and finding three sacred glyphs to resurrect the evil spirit Azrail, who would eventually obliterate all existence. Chaos Legion is an action game with a heavy emphasis on melee combat. The game's stand-out feature is Sieg's ability to summon the so-called Chaos Legions. Named after various emotions (Guilt, Hatred, Malice, etc.), these Legions have different combat styles, strengths, and weaknesses. Sieg himself is weakened once a Legion is being summoned, and has to rely on their powers to survive. The legions can be assigned general combat tactics, but are otherwise controlled by the AI. They can be upgraded during the course of the game, increasing their attack power, duration of their presence, etc. | ||

This tiresome bunch of feathered troublemakers is not giving any peace. Stop this hostile destruction from these rampaging roosters in Arcade mode, or fight against the clock in Classic mode in three difficulty levels. Seven fabulous landscapes enchant the player again and again revealing new secrets and gimmicks every time. Punctuated with loads of original sound effects and underscored with idyllic music this game will amuse not only the lone player, but the whole family with its variety of comic chicken animations, unique surprises and hilarious, raucous chicken noises. Invite and join forces with the like-minded for a spell of joint poultry plucking in a network, or on the Internet. Alternatively, stalk them alone and achieve the ultimate high score to secure first place on the international online scoreboard. It's a Classic Fun Shooter with adventure elements. You don't have to think too much .... just blow the chickens away. In each mission the player can collect a number of things and can receive many extra points for different actions. In this way it is easy - especially in the first levels - to score lots of points, but the levels increase in difficulty from mission to mission and becomes a true challenge with a high addiction factor. The implementation of numerous and varied gimmicks - individually made for each level - offers the player many hours of exciting gameplay. There's about 12.000 hand-drawn chicken animations, and 6 different weapons with various shooting range. | ||

This is exactly the same game as Gefeuert! Dein letzter Tag... just in a school instead of a office. The player takes the role of a pupil who wants to cause as much chaos as possible. With simple point & click controls the player walks trough the levels and uses the various items to play his pranks, e.g. knocking over a bucket or tearing apart a notebook. For some actions he needs to collect and use another item, e.g. toilet paper to clog a toilet. Every action takes time and is rewarded with points, more complicated or mean ones give more. So the main goal for a level is to beat the highscore in a limited time. When the player gets caught he has to absolve a mini game of Hangman where he has to guess words in a limited time and in limited tries. The campaign consists of 21 levels and the player can choose his gender and the names of the NPCs. | ||

Enclave is a third-person action-adventure game, pitting you as one of twelve different characters in a medieval era. During a great war, the land of Celenheim was separated into two sides; the light side and the dark side. On the side of the Light, the Enclave was protected from all sides by a wide rift, a bottomless abyss. On the Dark side, twisted forms struggled for survival, while slowly growing more powerful, preparing to invade the Light side once again. As a player of either side, it is up to you to perform various tasks, leading ultimately to one objective; protect the Enclave (Light) or invade the land (Dark). To accomplish your tasks, you will utilize various weapons, such as swords, bows, staffs and spears. To aid you, you have shields readily available, as well as a select few potions to help. Armor is abundant, and comes in many shapes and sizes. As a member of the Light side, you can choose to play as a Knight, a Huntress, a Wizard, a Druid, an Engineer or a Halfling. At the opposite end of the spectrum, you can be a Berserker, an Assassin, a Sorceress, a Lich, a Bombardier, or a Goblin. | ||

When Timmy tries to make a wish, his fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda tell him that it's against "Da Rules". Outraged, Timmy wishes he didn't have to follow the rules. As a result, Cosmo destroys the book; when Vicky arrives, she gains possession of Da Rules. She wishes that Timmy was still sleeping, and since she has possession of a fairy item, her wish is granted. Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda go to Fairy Court, and are accused of destroying Da Rules. Jorgen gives the three of them 49½ hours to find the missing pages of Da Rules. Timmy must navigate through ten levels and find the pages before Vicky's wishing goes too far. Juandissimo Magnifico tricks Timmy into wishing the book destroyed so that Cosmo and Wanda will get in trouble for it. It also notably features an appearance by Vicky and Tootie's mother (at Timmy's age, as the level featuring her is set in the past), named Nicky. Here, she is shown behaving a lot like Tootie, and Timmy initially mistakes her for Tootie when he first sees her, although the in-game graphics depict her as resembling a young Vicky. Guide Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda on an adventure to find "Da (missing) Rules" book. 11 levels to venture through and gather all the Good Deed Stamps beginning in Vicky's Nose.

The Fate is a Korean-made rpg which begins with its hero, the young warrior Loni, setting out to search the island of LaTranada for his missing brother Ranon, who disappeared during the pair's search for the fabled (and priceless) 'Blade of Euclid'. Little does Loni know, but this seemingly quiet island is about to offer him his greatest challenge yet... but will it lead him to find his missing brother? One of The Fate's most outstanding features, however, is its innovative approach to multi-player action. Where most RPGs simply take their existing gameplay and introduce it to a multi-player setting, The Fate combines elements of its single-player structure with the best multi-player features from other game types (including real-time strategy and first-person shoot 'em up games) to create three new game styles: Adventure, Deathmatch and Team Play (all of which can be played on a Local Area Network or via the Internet). The 'upgradeable world' system sees enemies, monsters and challenges increase in difficulty to match player's increasing power. The distinctive 'party' system allows the player to control all three main characters simultaneously. | ||

|
|
This is a direct sequel to the 3D platformer Frogger's Quest, but marks a return to the pseudo-overhead action of the previous games. Frogger just got back from his adventure at the Temple of the Frog, and is enjoying life in the swamp. Before long, it's his birthday, and he is summoned to the Elder Council. Frogger has come of age, and it is time for him to complete his rite of passage. Each of the 8 council members will send Frogger to a different world, where he will be tested to prove his readiness to be a teenage frog. You play the game from an overhead view, and must move Frogger to the end of many maze-like, trap ridden levels. Power-ups and coins are also scattered across each level. Coins are used to buy more power-ups between stages, which can be stored up and triggered when needed. These power-ups give Frogger powers like the ability to grab enemies with his tongue or speed bonuses. | ||

|---|---|---|---|
|

This is based on the Fox Kids TV series of the same name and will see players assuming the role of Nick Bluetooth, who is attempting to rescue his friends from the evil tyrant Gorm. As Nick, players will have to travel through three distinct realms doing battle with numerous different enemies and boss characters as Nick searches for his friends and looks to rid the outer dimension of its evil ruler. Players will use a transdimensional navigation module known simply as The Egg to travel between realms, and they will have the ability to absorb enemy attributes and abilities via a technique known as glinching allowing him to obtain powers such as "Super Jump," "Armour," "Grapple," and "Jet Wings" from fallen foes. Nick can fly, jump, grapple and navigate through his adventures. There's a dozen levels of courageous platform combat in a quest to unlock a portal to Galidor. Nick's friends are being held hostage in four different realms of the outer dimension, each realm with three levels and an enemy boss that stands between the hero and a successful rescue. Nick must defeat all four bosses to free his friends and obtain the key fragments he needs to open a passageway to his true nemesis. The game is designed to interact with the Galidor Kek Powerizer, a Lego robot toy sold separately that can respond to in-game action when placed near the game screen, to offer hints and unlock special features. | ||

| Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup | Electronic Arts UK Ltd., Visual Sciences Ltd. / Electronic Arts, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Quidditch, the broomstick and ball "sport" of the Harry Potter world comes to life in this simulation. For those unfamiliar with the game, two seven player teams of flying wizards attempt to score goals with one ball while dodging more flying balls and each other. For those who are familiar with the game, you will be happy to know that the players, positions, and "strategies" of Quidditch are faithfully recreated. The game starts with a player selecting which of the four Hogwarts school teams he or she wishes to play for. Following some tutorial events, they are launched into the competition for the Hogwarts Cup against the other three teams. As the player wins games and completes specific challenges (such as "score 120 points in one game") they collect Quidditch cards which unlock special combo moves. Once a player has won the school championship, they can go on to play as one of nine international teams competing for the Quidditch World Cup each with it’s own style and special combo moves. After winning the cup once, there are still more cards to be collected by playing and winning as different teams. People familiar with actual sports know that the rules of Quidditch (as described in Rowlings' books) are fundamentally flawed and that the only meaningful part of the game is the 1 on 1 competition between the two seekers trying to catch the golden snitch. Quidditch World Cup alleviates this problem with the "golden snitch bar". As the game progresses, completing action combos and performing special moves adds to a team progress bar. Eventually, when the snitch appears, the team with better positioning on the bar will start with an advantage in the chase. Ironically, this system rewards things other than actual scoring so in-game goals still remain mostly meaningless (except on lower difficulty levels where it is very easy to build a 160+ point lead and make the snitch inconsequential). Because it is designed for younger audiences, it lacks most of the advanced features you would expect in an EA sports game (league play, team management, etc). It also lacks any multiplayer options other than two player (same machine) exhibition matches. | ||

| Hokuto no Ken Gekiuchi 3: Typing Hyakuretsuken [J] | SSI Tristar | [top] | |

One of a series of typing software where the objective throughout each game in the series is to defeat hordes of adversaries by typing words correctly. During boss battles, the player must fill out a special move gauge in order to accumulate enough strength to perform a finishing move with the space key. Fourth and last title of the series, this episode changes drastically in terms of general design, presenting everything by means of original artwork by Tetsuo Hara taken from the manga and colored for the occasion. The game modes are also expanded and, in addition to the Story Mode which sees Kenshiro retrace the crucial phases of the series through the fight against ten opponents (Heart, Shin, Rei, Jagi, Shu, Souther, Toki, Raoh, Falco and Kaioh), you can find 5 mini-games and a VS. Mode in which to choose any of the warriors present and face all the others. The game adds a new gameplay element called the Ōgi System, in which the player can perform special techniques at any time by accumulating enough strength in their skill gauge. The skill gauge can be accumulated up to three levels; the higher level, the stronger the technique. Both, the player and the computer have their own skill gauge. | ||

Guarding purgatory really is a hell of a job. It takes long-time professionals like Diana and Daniel to sort out all the lost souls and bring them divine redemption (or send them straight to hell for that matter). Diana is a devil and has to send as many lost souls to hell as possible. She is very good at her job, but has failed to stop smoking. Daniel is an angel and thus want to send as many lost souls to heaven as possible. The objective and gameplay for both characters is the same, only the direction differs. The more souls reach their final destination the more points are awarded. Of course, there are also opponents: the irritated souls that can shove the character which can result in the loss of a screen life. | ||

Smakkaball is played in an arena, and you play to claim the arena, to ''own'' more of the arena than your rival. But instead of fighting for floor space, you fight to control as much of the walls as possible. The player to claim the most wall ''owns'' the arena, gets the most points, and wins the game. It's a game of prestige. Part of the Smakkaball prestige is not only to own the arena during the game, but also to own an arena for real. Many characters therefore have their own arenas and typically decorate their arena and give it their personal touch. As the tradition prescribes, the players must show up in a cool personal outfit. And players have always shown great enthusiasm and creativity to design an outfit that not only suits them best in this physically demanding sport, but also to create an outfit that underlines their personal playing style. | ||

Something sinister has happened at Misanthorpe Manor. Old Aunt Agatha, the wealthy and mean owner of the Manor, was murdered. Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Parker has taken statements from the potential victims and suspects. As his protégé, you must sort and figure out the what's and where's so that forensic and Parker can crack the case. If you succeed, you will be promoted...and who knows...you might match your mentor and become Chief Inspector! Gameplay consists of a game board with a number of rows and columns that represents different rooms of the Manor. The object of the game is to figure out where each suspect, victim and items are located at the time of the crime. You are giving clues like "Stella Sweetheart is in a room to the left of Rolly the Rector" and you must solve the case by elimination (cross out objects/people from a room until only one remains which indicates that's the correct object) or deduction. There are 3 difficulty modes: Easy, Normal and Deadly. Each mode has 10 levels. You start with a practice level and then a regular level. In the earlier levels, you will have only 2-4 floors and will only have to locate the suspects, weapons and victims. As you progress in the different levels, there will more floors and you will have to figure out the possible motives and how the corpse was disposed of. The difference between the modes is in the clarity of the clues. For example, in Easy mode you will have clues indicating exactly how many rooms are between 2 objects...while in Deadly you will only be notified of the direction of the objects. Another choice is to choose between Puzzle Mode and Timed Mode. In Puzzle Mode, you are allowed a certain number of guesses. If you make too many mistakes, the game ends. In Timed Mode you have unlimited guesses but you must solve the case before time runs out. So who killed Agatha? Was it Fred or Portia? Were they in the Red Bedroom or the Garden Room? What was the weapon used? Was it the knife or poison? And what was the villain's motive? Money or vengeance? If you can answer all these questions, you will become Chief Inspector in no time! | ||

Following the events of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2, Raziel and Kain were trapped in the Serafan fortress. Separated by sudden events, Raziel was forced to retreat into the spectral realm, leaving Kain to escape from the Serafan on his own. Both must escape the predicament they find themselves in and fight back against those who would seek to use them as manipulations in a grander plot. From both heroes cry out shouts of defiance, and a thirst to find the revelations that have been buried in the world of Nosgoth. This is a 3rd person action-adventure game, combining concepts seen in both Blood Omen 2 and Soul Reaver 2. The story unfolds through chapters, focusing alternately on Kain and Raziel as they pursue their separate, though intertwined quests. Control of each character alternates between levels, however both are controlled from a behind-the-shoulder perspective. While both heroes are different, they are similar in movement, ability to attack, defend, jump and access special abilities. Kain and Raziel no longer pick up weapons, instead both using a form of the Soul Reaver weapon (Kain uses the physical sword form, Raziel uses an energy blade). Each Soul Reaver can now be "charged" to unleash a special ability, determined by the current alignment of Soul Reaver at the time. Both Kain and Raziel lose energy at a constant rate and must feed to replenish life energy (Kain feeds on the blood of living creatures, Raziel feeds on the souls of living and non-living creatures). And both Kain and Raziel feature telekinetic abilities to manipulate objects at a distance. Kain and Raziel are different characters however, that play differently, each requiring use of his talents,to bypass obstacles (sometimes the same obstacle). Kain focuses on strong combat and destructive abilities. He is able able to power up the Soul Reaver weapon using properties of the Pillars of Nosgoth. Raziel is more subtle, able to use stealth and the phasing between material and spectral worlds in order to discover new paths. As in Soul Reaver, Raziel can phase into the spectral world at any time but must find a special location in order to phase back. Raziel powers up the Soul Reaver using elemental powers. | ||

This is a real-time strategy game with role-playing elements. The game is set in the EverQuest universe and takes place ten thousand years before the events of the original EverQuest. Players can choose to control any of the three alliances, each composed of different races: Shadowrealm (dark elves, ogres, and the iksar); Dawn Brotherhood (humans, barbarians, and dwarves); and the Eldaar Alliance (high elves, wood elves, halflings and froglocks). The single-player mode offers three campaigns, one per alliance. Each alliance has its own motivations for war, and the three stories are intertwined. Each alliance has five "lords" (equivalent to "heroes" in other strategy games), making a total of fifteen lords with different abilities. The player chooses one of these lords to help his units in battles. The lords greatly enhance the performance of friendly units and can also sabotage the enemy. The units consist of race-specific soldiers and can be selected before each mission; a certain number of them can be transferred to the next one. Both lords and units level up, learn new abilities and become stronger, in a RPG-like fashion. Resource management plays a lesser role in the game than in most other games of its type. Only one type of resource (platinum) is available for mining. | ||

This is the graphically enhanced sequel to Moorhuhn Kart. It features the same gameplay as its predecessor. The player chooses one out of five characters from the Moorhuhn-Family (Moorhuhn itself, Moorfrosch, Snowman, Lesshuhn or Pumpkinhead). The remaining characters automatically become the player's opponents on the racetrack. It is their objective to keep the player from winning no matter what. To achieve this they make use of various power-up packages that can be found at random on the racetrack. These contain several items and weapons to make the player's life miserable, such as lightning strikes, steamhammers and layers of oil. Fortunately, this holds for the player as well. The game comes with 3 game modes and 10 different racetracks that have rather descriptive names such as Kritzelklotz, Kartbahn (kart track), Luna, Docklands, Boooh!, Outdoor, Wüste (desert), Canyon, Eis (ice) and Vulkan (volcano). The three different game modes consist of a time-race, a 2-player mode in which you can race against your friends, and the Grand-Prix-mode. In the latter the player has to race through several race tracks, qualifying himself for the next track in every single race. If you are too slow, the Grand-Prix is over. | ||

| Onimusha CT / Onimusha Warlords | Capcom Production Studio 2 / Typhoon Games Ltd. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a PC version of Onimusha Warlords (the first million selling game for the PS2) that was released in China. Set in 16th Century Japan, during the period of the civil war dominated by Nobunaga Oda. You play Samanosuke Akechi, who dies during an attempt to stop the kidnapping of young princess Yuki, the sister to Yoshitatsu Saito. However, Akechi is given another chance at life, and is handed the power of the gauntlet (capable of powerful abilities). With this new power, you must fight your way through the many levels of un-dead beings (much like another Capcom series, Resident Evil). As you defeat the enemy, its soul is absorbed by the gauntlet, increasing its power and your chances of victory. The game scenario starts off with Nobunaga kidnapping Samanosuke's childhood sweetheart, and what follows is, naturally enough, the rescue of said sweetheart by brave hero. In its mixture of horror (the ghost of Nobunaga and his demonic forces) and sci-fi fantasy genres, Onimusha CT bears some similarities to Resident Evil. Splendid atmospheric graphics help give artistry to the slasher genre, and for those who care about such things, Takeshi Kaneshiro also took a part in creating the sounds and backing music for the game. On Jan 15/2019, Onimusha: Warlords Remastered was released with overhauled graphics adapted to modern screen resolutions, a new instrumental soundtrack, improved English dubbing, as well as a Japanese dialogue track. An easy difficulty level can now be chosen at the very beginning of the game, and not after a series of defeats in combat. The support for the analog gamepad knob, which was not available in the original, is certainly also a great help in playing with the game. Minor changes to the game interface have also been introduced, and smaller errors and imperfections of the original have been fixed. | ||

This is a desktop accessories CD-ROM for Windows based on Popee the Performer (ポピーザぱフォーマー),a series of 3DCG shorts produced for Kids Station, one of the all-anime satellite stations in Japan. Despite the name, it doesn't appear that a "censored" version ever existed. The first press edition of the package included a Kedamono mask. The CD-ROM features wallpapers, screensavers, and other "impractical"/"useless" features. To open the software, a large 3D head of Popee, Kedamono, or Papi will appear, and you must click it to open up the menu. There are a total of 50 different wallpapers, 10 different screensavers, and 6 different programs that are just for fun, like a useless calculator that shows Kedamono's masks instead of numbers. | ||

Most of the interactive elements are to ask questions to the other characters, collect items and combine them and solve different puzzles. The player can place items in their inventory, through which they can use or examine them. Certain actions can be performed at different times, while others are unnecessary to the outcome, as well as some items are never used. | ||

| Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time | UBI Soft Montreal / UBI Soft | [top] | |

The story in this Prince of Persia game starts out as the Prince and his father, the King of Persia, are besieging the Maharajah's castle to plunder the treasures hidden inside. In order to impress his father, the Prince sneaks inside to recover the magical Dagger of Time. He quickly learns that this dagger has the ability to control time. The malevolent Vizier has other plans for the dagger, however, and tricks the Prince into unlocking a mysterious secret of the Dagger that causes the King and many of his subjects to be turned into sand zombies. Now, the Prince must figure out what has happened and try to set things right again. The Sands of Time is a action adventure game that updates many of the gameplay concepts from the original two games and brings them into a fully 3-dimensional world. The Prince will engage in sword fighting, wall climbing, spike dodging, puzzle solving, and more in his quest. The Prince also carries the Dagger of Time, which allows him to unleash several magical powers. The most important of these powers is the ability to reverse time. This ability allows the player to reverse their actions when they lead the Prince to his death. In 2022, a Remake was released with improved graphics and that's unique in its ability to freely control the camera. It also modified the control scheme so that it does not deviate from modern standards, and also looked at the combat system, making it more responsive and diverse. In addition, difficulty levels have been introduced that have not been found in the original; they appeared only in its sequels. | ||

| Princess Maker Refine | Gainax Co., Ltd. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is the first of Gainax' "princess-raising simulation" game series originally on Japanese computers in 1991. This Refine Edition has enhanced graphics and voices. You are a noble warrior who has just saved your kingdom from an invasion by the terrible Demon Lord. The grateful king offers you to choose any reward you wish for your brave deed. But instead of opting for half of the kingdom or the riches of the land, you ask the king for the permission to raise a poor little orphan girl named Maria. And so the game begins. You are the one who has to build Maria's future. Of course, you can do it in many ways. You can strive to make a real princess out of her, teach her good manners, study arts, to make her a brave fighter like yourself, or just a lazy bimbo who cares for nothing. Her destiny is in your hands. The player can send the daughter to town to view the people's opinions of her. The wardrobe is also much larger than the sequel. There are four sets of clothing for each season. These clothes change after aging. Therefore, there are about 28 sets of clothing the daughter can wear over the years. The Harvest Festival has a Combat Tournament and a Miss Kingdom Contest. If the daughter succeeds, her popularity will rise. There are 74 possible endings, ranging from humble jobs such as a soldier or a mason, to prestigious jobs such as Archbishop or Prime Minister, to "dark side" jobs such as prostitute or crime lord. In addition, numerous factors decide whether or not the daughter is successful at her job, whom she marries, and whether she has children of her own. An English version was released in Feb/2017. | ||

Rebels is a strategy/adventure game in which you control up to five characters in a attempt to escape from prisons scattered about the country. Each character has his/her own talents and skills. Escape from the prisons using stealth to hide from the guards or bribe your way with some and overpower others. A country's dictator has relinquished his country all freedom. Now a band of rebels are about to stage a coup to over turn dictator Fredrich but they are found out and thrown into prisons throughout the country. You must now re-unite your rebels and oust Fredrich. Starting off with one rebel you must escape his prison and move through six different levels helping your comrades escape. Interact with the environment like throwing objects to distract the guards. Sneak past guards because they can hear your loud footsteps if you try to run. Watch out for his "field of vision" as you can tell where he is looking. If you knock a guard out he will eventually come to and look for you. If you kill a guard you must hide his body to keep from raising the alarm. Every rebel has his/her own skills like feign death to surprise the guard and overcome him. Pick locks and set traps for unsuspecting guards. Conceal yourself in shadows to hide. Disguise yourself to fool the guards and even imitate sounds to throw them off your trail. And even cast Voodoo magic to hypnotize unwary opponents. | ||

| Republic: The Revolution | Elixir Studios / Eidos Inc. | [top] | |

This may be the first computer game that attempts to simulate an entire nation. The mythical country of Novistrana is like many other small, Eastern European nations. It is inhabited by nearly a million citizens, each with his or her own responsibilities, opinions, and desires. The recent fall of the U.S.S.R. has blown winds of change across Novistrana; some believe that a revolution brews just beneath the sunny surface of the small country's peaceful political landscape. A strong leader with a unifying cause could be all it takes to spark a revolt. Each of the Novistrana's citizens exists as a unique individual. Their behaviors are designed to realistically follow the flow of social and cultural factors in the game. Members of the population may celebrate, riot, or simply carry on the status quo, depending on how their ideologies coincide or conflict with the politics of their surroundings. Their support is the key to victory. The player begins as a barely noticeable speck on the nation's political landscape, running his or her faction's underground operations from a tiny headquarters in one of 30 small villages. The goal is to build a foundation for the player's political movement, gaining supporters through clever propaganda, political pandering, and even bribery and extortion, eventually winning enough followers to overthrow the government and instate the player as high ruler. Competition for this position exists at all levels, coming from the administration currently in power as well as from over a dozen other upstart factions vying for supremacy. | ||

| Return Of Egypt | Driven Phantom Soft | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a very good Castlevania clone, sporting fluid 2D sidescrolling action, plenty of well-drawn enemies, and excellent level design. You star as Moses as he returns to Egypt to battle various undeads and even Egyptian gods. Similar to the hero in Castlevania, Moses wields a whip in this game as his default weapon. The castle is very well-designed, full of traps, optional routes, and secret rooms. Similar to most console platformers, you cannot save at any point in the game, but only at "save points" - which are conveniently placed every few rooms apart. One thing I like is the number of "special skills" and magic spells you will acquire as you play through the game, usually after beating each "boss" monster. Examples of these skills are rapid run and magical storm. Casting spells require magic points (MPs), so use them sparingly. Plenty of action, surprises, and smooth gameplay make this game the best Castlevania clone and one of the best platformers in general. | ||

| Robin Hood: Defender Of The Crown | Cinemaware / Capcom Co., Ltd. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

A complete remake of the classic 1986 title Defender of the Crown (not to be confused with the "Remastered" Windows version released in 2002), in Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown the player plays as the legendary folk outlaw in his quest to reclaim the throne of England after Richard Lionheart was captured in the crusades and his brother, John Lackland, usurped the throne and left him for dead in the Holy Land, attracting the ire of several knights. In a heated argument, he considered them to be traitors, causing a civil war to start. Several gameplay features were changed from the classic title such as the player being Robin Hood himself (instead of picking one of four pretenders), full 3D graphics, a plot included with the game and the goal being to be the first to reach and conquer King John's stronghold in Cornwall. To do so, the player must build an army large enough to hold enough shires, which generate money from taxes. This money can then be used to hire new troops (peasants, archers, footmen and the mighty knights and catapults) or pay King Richard's ransom, which allow to enlist loyalist knights. As with the original game, action occurs in a turn-based map of England where the player decides which actions to take: conquer a neighbouring shire with Little John's army and hire soldiers either for him or territory defense, raid a castle or caravan, build strongholds, hold tournaments or spy on the other lords using Maid Marian's contacts on the court. Each of the attacking actions bring a quick minigame to be played. | ||

The player takes the role of Jo Bless who got fired from his job. Today is his last day and he wants to cause as much chaos as possible. With simple point & click controls the player walks trough the levels and uses the various items to play his pranks, e.g. knocking over a drinks dispenser or formatting a hard drive. For some actions he needs to collect and use another item, e.g. a lighter to set fire to a waste bucket. Every action takes time and is rewarded with points, more complicated or mean ones give more. So the main goal for a level is to beat the highscore in a limited time. When the player gets caught he has to absolve a mini game where he has to repeat given color pattern, similar to Simon says. The campaign consists of 20 levels and the player can choose his gender and the names of the NPCs. | ||

The most noticeable change in the fourth main game in the series comes through the new graphics, now in full 3D. The basic goal remains the same: build the ultimate city. You do this by balancing funding of community services with taxes, transit fares, and other forms of income. But now you have more options. The new god mode tools allow you to sculpt a realistic terrain in seconds. And now disasters won't happen in random locations, you choose where to unleash them. There are all new buildings, and the gameplay is a bit more challenging this time: you have to actually start small, the way a real city is developed, or you'll run out of money. You can also import people from The Sims and insert them into your city, and have them give you feedback. Your advisors are improved. They too are in full 3D, and they won't annoy you as much. They will provide you with helpful advice, and you can listen to them or annoy them to the point that they all turn into llamas. Literally. It also lets you control your neighboring cities. Low demand for industry? Go next door and build some houses. Then connect the two cities with roads, and soon residents of your neighbor will want jobs. The game stays true to its predecessors, while adding new features and improvements.

This is an expansion pack for SimCity 4 that allows you to take complete control of your city by allowing you to jump directly into the action. You can take control of a speedboat and chase criminals through your canals, you can take your Sims on a tourist ride by hopping into the engineer's booth of a train, you can track down criminals in a police car, being sure to avoid traffic, you can call in the heavy artillery and take control of your army's tank, or you can please the populace by taking control of a single engine plane and and impress everyone with skywriting. You have a plethora of new transportation options available, to make your Sims trips easier and faster. You can build elevated railways, saving precious ground space, you can create a ferry system to transport Sims from one of your islands to another (residential to industrial, perhaps?), you can construct a monorail network to get Sims to long destinations fast, and you can add double-wide avenues along your city streets to increase speed, and possibly traffic. It allows you to personalize your city by giving you the ability to name streets, highways, neighborhoods, mountains, and bodies of water. Three new disasters have been added. The major disaster lets you rain down a UFO attack on your city. You may also cause traffic accidents and train derailments. | ||

This can be best described as Grand Theft Auto in Springfield. The player takes on the role of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa or Apu and try to uncover a mystery surrounding mechanical bees that are taking over Springfield, mysterious vans, and cola that can control the minds of those who drink it. Like GTA, the game follows a linear-based path through fifty plus missions. The player will have to chase cars and find out where they're headed, grab all the spilling cola cans before people can drink them, and chasing down villains before they get away. Throughout the course of the game, the player can unlock tons of rewards by completing missions in a set amount of time or performing outstanding stunts. All voiceovers are performed by those who act in the show, including Dan Castellaneta (Homer), Julie Kavner (Marge) and Yeardley Smith (Lisa). The game supports multiplayer action for up to four players. | ||

In the seventh and final expansion pack for The Sims, this lets you give your Sims the ability to cast various spells, helpful and otherwise. Make a garden gnome come to life as a housekeeper, or give an enemy the hot foot. Have a child summon an imaginary friend to keep him/her company, and keep their social scores up. Among the above listed spells, you can also magically put out fires (saving a trip for the SimCity Fire Department), cook your food, or summon a skeletal maid to clean up. As with every expansion, this adds over 175 new items, including a Baker's Oven, which lets you bake cakes, pies, and "surprises", a Spookshow Stage, where you can raise the dead, and a Charm Maker, which lets you create and mix charms for use in spells. Like Studio Town in The Sims: Superstar and Olde Town in The Sims: Unleashed, this adds Magic Town, where you can compete in duels by flinging spells at an opponent, perform a magic show, or go on quests. Doing quests and performing good shows will earn you special ingredients and MagiCoin, which you can use to purchase other ingredients. It adds a new Mediterranean furniture set, and you can upload and download houses and families at the official website. | ||

This Japanese PC port of the famous horror arcade game is a picture perfect translation of the arcade game, down to having 1/2 players and using virtual coins for credits (up to 9 credits at a time). Rick and his girlfriend Jennifer enter West Mansion (known as Splatterhouse) to study Dr. Herbert West's (from H.P. Lovecraft's Re-Animator) parapsychology teachings for a school project. After a flash of lightning and a scream, Jennifer is gone, and Rick is left wearing the Terror Mask, which gives the wearer great strength (the character bears a resemblance to Jason from Friday The 13th). Rick must survive seven blood-soaked levels full of corpses, demons, and other disturbing creatures in this arcade side-scrolling beat-em-up. Several weapons are at Rick's disposal throughout the house, such as a meat cleaver, a two by four, and a shotgun. If Rick wants to find Jennifer alive, he must move quickly through the floors of the mansion.... as a happy reunion is not always guaranteed. Sound is far superior to the FM Towns version, and graphics are a bit better as well. | ||

The Fungi Colony, grown from the bowels of a rotten sandwich lay siege throughout the land of Ta. Infestation grew throughout the once beautiful field of blueberries and flower buds. Polluted by the ill rotten scent of the invading force, the atmosphere of happiness were no more. The Ta-Tas were no match against the might of the Fungi Colony. How is it that a land once beautiful now lay waste and corrupted by the Fungi Colony? A few of the Ta-Tas lay refuge to their emergency hide-out in the crevasses of the northern mountains. This flying cloud fortress hide-out was constructed long ago to help Ta-Tas escape whatever calamity that is bound to happen. The White Ta-Ta holds the power to invoke "Mahatta" that will cleanse the land of the infestation. The Ta-Tas now begins their journey to find the Legendary White Ta-Ta and cleanse the land of Ta from the Fungi Infestation. It wasn’t a grand day at all, many Ta-Tas had realized. There's 11 unique characters to help you on your quest and a great mixture of super fun action and puzzle solving. All the music in the game were composed by David R. Clark of Megalith Music. | ||

Based on the newer anime styled FOX cartoon of the same name, this features Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello as green ninjas. Living in the sewers, they creep out when nobody is looking to fight for truth, justice and another slice of pizza.

The game is a 3D beat-em-up with multiple players. The game sprites all resemble the cartoony look of the TV show and each turtle features unique moves, sound bytes and fighting style all his own. Ninja Turtle moves include a weaker/quicker attack, a stronger/slower attack, Ninja Shuriken and a Jump-Kick. | ||

Teppoman and Bimboman are two excellent cartoon platformers from the same Japanese author. Created with Klik & Play game creation program, both games feature very smooth animations, crisp graphics, and excellent level designs. One of the things to like is the ability to aim your shots diagonally. This allows you to aim very precisely at baddies - a good thing, since there always seems to be far too many of them. The fact that they play in Windowed mode makes it very easy to procra.... err, have a little fun while you're working. Once you finish them, you can also start over on a higher difficulty level. The only negative thing about these two neat games is that they are both a bit on the short side, but if you enjoy platformers, you will enjoy them while they last. All in all, two not-so-revolutionary games that are more than enough proof of the classic-making power of Klik & Play. | ||

| Van Buren (cancelled) | Black Isle Studios / Interplay Entertainment | [top] | |

Van Buren was the project name Black Isle Studios assigned to their version of Fallout 3 but was canceled due to financial difficulties. The game was going to use an engine that they had made for Baldur's Gate 3, commonly referred to as the Jefferson Engine. It was a fully 3D engine but was never used. They planned to include a dual-combat system in the game that allowed for the player to choose real-time (like Fallout 3 or Fallout Tactics) or turn-based combat (like Fallout and Fallout 2), but real-time was only included due to Interplay's demands. Nonetheless, Joshua Sawyer had stated that the emphasis would be on the turn-based version. Co-operative multiplayer was also going to be included in the game, again because of publisher requirements. It would have taken place in the American southwest (Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Utah). The westernmost sites on the game map are the easternmost borders of New California Republic. According to the design documents, it was to be set in the year 2253. Some places that appeared in Van Buren: Tibbets Prison, Denver ("Dog Town"), Boulder Dome, Hoover Dam (the NCR), The Grand Canyon, Twin Mothers (Vault 29), The Nursery, The Reservation, Jericho, Maxson's Bunker, Fort Abandon, Mesa Verde, Ouroboros, Blackfoot Village, Burham Springs, Bloomfield Space Center, Ballistic Orbital Missile Base 001. Places cut from the final version of the game: New Canaan and Jericho desalination plant (merged into the town of Jericho), Hangdog Village (design documents for Hangdog and Blackfoot tribes were merged), Circle Junction ("Iron Lines" place), The Crater, Moletown, Caesar's Legion location. A playable tech demo was leaked in 2007. | ||

| Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne | Blizzard Entertainment Inc. | [top] | |

|
|
Return to Azeroth to guide great heroes and faithful minions to frenzied battle in this expansion pack for Blizzard's 2002 real-time strategy game which is designed to build upon many of the key features that made the third WarCraft game a critical and popular success. As in WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos, the single-player campaign of The Frozen Throne puts players in command of each of the four races in turn. The add-on begins where the main game left off, with the Night Elves, then moves to the Humans, and ends with the Undead. The Orcs follow their own separate, stand-alone campaign, specially developed to make use of the expansion's new World Editor features. Many months have passed since the climactic battle at Mount Hyjal in Reign of Chaos. Any true peace in the land is short-lived, however. Already a new threat grows, in the far-off, frozen lands of Northrend. Though the Lich King Ner'zhul now has no physical form, the power of his evil spirit endures, deep in the frozen heart of the Icecrown glacier. The fallen paladin Arthas and the renegade Night Elf Illidan, both survivors of the devastating warfare of the original game, return in this expansion pack, to again cast their dangerous influence on the fate of Azeroth. Three new tilesets are added, all with their own flora and fauna (including new critters appropriate to each environment). Each race gains new units and one new hero character. Neutral heroes are available as well, for a price. New units and their special abilities are designed to complement the particular strengths of their existing armies, and were created to offer new strategies while maintaining the delicate balance of powers among the four races. A number of new multiplayer maps are also included in the add-on, as well as expanded Battle.net support for clans, tournaments, and more multiplayer game types. | ||

Yu-Gi-Oh! comes to the PC in this game which is set up as a card battling game without any extra genres added in such as RPG elements or adventure elements that are part of other Yu-Gi-Oh! games. You have one person to battle in this game - Yugi. You start the game with a deck of 40 cards and no extras and must win battles against Yugi in order to get new cards to improve your deck. The game's battles are set up as either a single battle, or a match battle. The match battles take much longer as you have to win (or lose) more than once before you end the match. In the single battle, you either win or lose once and then you can play another battle if you want. With the match battle, however, you can use a side deck to trade cards in and out of your deck (if you have some) in order to improve your deck based on what you see your opponent has for cards. | ||

| Arthur's Pet Chase | ImaginEngine Corp. / The Learning Company | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a cartoon-style side-scrolling platform game starring characters from a popular children's book series by author Marc Brown, also made into a PBS television series. Arthur is a young aardvark entrepreneur - he has started up a pet-sitting business in his home, and as the game opens, he signs in his 30th customer. All seems to be going well, although his mother and sister DW plant doubts about his ability to care for so many animals. As Arthur goes to sleep, he falls into a nightmarish dream - all of the animals have gotten loose and are running around the city, and Arthur has to chase them down one by one. The player guides Arthur through 30 levels in 5 different areas: Arthur's Neighborhood, DW's Room, The Sugar Bowl, The Library, The Haunted House. There are different monsters and different power-ups in each area - the weapon of choice is a water balloon, which stuns opponents long enough to get past them. The player begins the game with water balloons as well as X-Ray Vision Eyeglasses, which make the pet's paw prints visible. As he progresses through the levels, the player can pick up the Bionic Bunny Super-Strength Cape, allowing him to move large objects out of his path, and DW's Safety Scissors, for cutting ropes that block his way. Arthur can climb, run, crouch, and jump over spaces and objects using the keyboard controls, collecting power bars and moon boots and avoiding gum, which slows him down. Milk cartons denote checkpoints, which Arthur is returned to if he falls or runs into an enemy. Enemies vary from flying books and witches to evil troll dolls and malignant hamburgers. Pressing P (for Pause) brings up the level selection screen, where the player can view how many power bars were collected and whether or not a pet was found on a level, and elect to return to any level already played. | ||

| Arthur's Sand Castle Contest | ImaginEngine Corp. / The Learning Company | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

Arthur is an 8 year old aardvark created by children's book author and illustrator Marc Brown. In Arthur's Sand Castle Contest, he enters a castle-building contest while visiting the beach with family and friends - the goal in this game is to complete a castle using pre-made blueprints or your own imagination. This requires a certain amount of planning, as you have to collect the ingredients to make bricks: sand and water. To collect sand, you control Arthur with the mouse in an arcade-style game. As his dog Pal digs up clumps of sand, you move Arthur and his bucket across the screen with the mouse, catching the flying sand. Sometimes, Pal will dig up crabs that inflict a painful nip and cause Arthur to lose his sand, and sometimes he'll find special items that Arthur needs to make bricks. Pushing the spacebar causes Arthur to jump over crabs on the ground. When the bucket is full you have the option of filling another. Depending on the level, each bucket of sand can be worth 3 or more bricks. To collect water you move Arthur across the hot sand through a maze of beach towels until he reaches the water's edge and can fill his bucket. There are dogs, crabs, and large bathers to avoid, puddles of water to soothe hot feet, and french fries to renew Arthur's energy. Success at collecting enables cut-scenes in which Arthur's friends bring him pretty rocks and shells they've found, to use as decorations. Arthur's friend Brain has stumbled upon an old junked Sno-Cone machine, which he has managed to convert into a sand castle brick-making machine. If you bring him the sand and water to feed into it, his machine will mold it into bricks for you. Moreover, if you collect particular items that Brain asks for he will exchange them for specialty bricks. Finding an old shoe, for example, may allow you to make a crown-like brick; finding a milk carton may open up a pyramid-shaped brick, etc. At the sand tray, drag and drop bricks from Arthur's wagon onto the grid in free building or follow the blueprint you've chosen, poke window holes, add decorations and flags and pour water for a moat. When you are done, use the whistle to call over the contest judge, and if your castle passes muster you'll make it into the local paper. This is intended for children aged 4 - 7 and exercises learning skills; critical thinking, creativity and problem solving. | ||

In this second Blue's Clues game from Atari - based on the preschool television series Blue's Clues - Blue and Periwinkle invite you into their classroom to experience their school day along with them. Their human friend Joe makes a brief appearance in the intro and walks you to the school before handing you over to Miss Marigold and Blue's friends. Sign in and pick a picture from a choice of six, representing either a boy or a girl with differing types of hair - this will determine whether you are later referred to ingame as "he" or "she"! You are assigned your own cubby, containing folders where you'll later place pictures you've drawn, and where friends can place pictures they've drawn for you. Gameplay uses the mouse to point, click, and drag. Most of the time your cursor remains an arrow; on the creativity pages it becomes whatever tool you are using - paintbrush, eraser, etc, similar to any paint program, and in the garden it becomes a camera viewfinder. Your day with Blue and her friends follows a basic preschool curriculum, focusing on social skills, creativity, pre-math logic, and simple science: Music Time - Listen to the rhythm Blue plays, then see which of her friends is playing the same rhythm. Then join in with your own instrument; Painting Easel - Create pictures using painting tools and stickers, then print them or save them to a folder for your friends; Rabbit Table - Learn how to take care of Giggles the class pet; try each object (carrot, water, brush, radio, even changing the cage paper!) to raise the rabbit's happiness-meter; Water Table - Out on the playground, Orange Kitten shows you his favorite thing; place the blocks in the water table to make your boat head toward an island; Garden - In the Nature Garden you'll be shooting things - with a camera! Find the object Miss Marigold describes and take a picture of it for your Nature Discovery Book. Then Miss Marigold tells you some basic facts about it. There are many clickable animations throughout the game - books that fall to the floor to be retrieved by a frog or a teddy bear (among others), a globe that spins and plays rhythms from around the world, insects and a bird that show off their sounds - quite a lot of small things for the preschool child to discover as he plays and learns. In addition, you can choose your level of difficulty, giving the game added replay value. | ||

He knows that being a good friend is accepting a friend's special way of viewing the world. Caillou helps young children realize they are not alone. All kids have LOTS of questions about everything, and Caillou helps two and three-year olds see where they're going - and five and six-year olds appreciate where they've been. Four year-olds love to laugh - and Caillou is no exception. Caillou lets kids know that even if life isn't always easy, with the right kind of attitude even the hard stuff can be accomplished. Join Caillou and his friends as they teach your child preschool about counting skills. Play in English, Spanish, or French. Entertaining activities provide hours of fun and learning, and they're different each time you play. | ||

This is based on a PBS-produced kids show called Cyberchase. This game sets out to teach about basic math principles and spatial reasoning. The three young stars of the show and their bird creature visit the town of Castleblanca only to find that it is being inundated with an inordinate amount of sunlight. They take it upon themselves to build a solar protection device but need a number of components to do so. In order to obtain these components, the kids must play a variety of math-related games to help the monstrous townfolk. The assorted games, puzzles, and activities are: Scary Scales - Mummies need to get into their favorite restaurant via the back door. You must help them by making them drop through trap doors onto either side of a large scale. Each mummy is assigned a weight and when the scale becomes more or less balanced, the mummies may enter the restaurant. Goop Zapper - Help the goop factory package frozen goop for shipment. Pull a lever to drop a block of goop onto a conveyor belt and configure the zapper ray to either grow or shrink the block to the optimal size for the crate in which it is to be shipped. Monster Dive - You are presented with a tank with a low volume of water. Monsters will be diving into the tank and you are told what level of water they need. Your task is to place enough other monsters in the water to displace enough water to reach the required level. Get The Lead Out - 2 Alchemists want to evenly divide a quantity of lead between them so they can turn it into gold. Use glasses of water to divide the lead by observing the amount of water that each quantity displaces. Lights Out - You must close all the blinds in the castle so that Dracula can get out of his coffin. Configure the angle and distance to throw your grappling hook to bring down the shades. Disco Deflector - Change the angles of a series of wall-mounted mirrors so that when a beam of light is fired from one wall in the dance hall, the light makes its way to the disco ball so that the monster dance party can start. Haunting Hang Gliders - Help guide a monster's hang glider over a short course by dodging obstacles. After profiling a short flight, use that time to evaluate how long it would take to complete a longer flight. Drape Maker - Use the tools available (ruler, string, fabric, and basic math operations) to create properly sized drapes for different sized windows. | ||

This is geared to 1st - 5th Grades and intended to assist in practicing math problems. It is a sister game to JumpStart Study Helpers Spelling Bee, and both were packaged together in a bundle called JumpStart Advanced Study Helpers in 2007. The game may be played in both English and Spanish. The game contains three arcade-style activities for doing math drills. Unusually for a JumpStart game, they are not presented in the context of a storyline, set of goals, or clear fictional setting, but there is an overarching outer space theme. Unlike most JumpStart games, there are not three difficulty levels, but rather a "content chooser" that enables users to select any of six categories (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions/decimals/percentages, and review covering multiple subjects), each of which has six difficulty levels each. Like some other JumpStart games, it contains three gameplay levels as well, and also features an option to play activities with a timer. One of the game's major features is the Editor, which allows users to create custom lists of their own addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems. DigiHog Drop: Little, furry, presumably extraterrestrial critters called DigiHogs enjoy eating numbers, and have overeaten them. The DigiHogs are located in a machine made out of side-by-side tubes that is designed to squeeze them so that they feel better. They have numbers and operational symbols on their bellies, and the user must drop the DigiHogs in such a way as to form correct equations, then press a lever. Galactic Pinball: Using the arrow keys, users must guide around a pinball containing Frankie around a screen full of obstacles in order to get to one of the holes at the corner of the screen, which will display numbers that are the answers to a math problem. Asteroid Smash: Asteroids containing diamonds are flying around. Users must shoot the asteroid with the correct answer to the math problem by clicking on it. | ||

This is geared to 1st - 5th Grades and intended to assist in practicing spelling. It is a sister game to JumpStart Study Helpers Math Booster, and both were packaged together in a bundle called JumpStart Advanced Study Helpers in 2007. The game may be played in both English and Spanish. Unlike most JumpStart games, there are not three but six difficulty levels, and multiple options within each. Like some other JumpStart games, it contains three gameplay levels as well. The game also features the Editor, which allows users to create their own custom spelling lists. When inputting spelling lists, users must also specify pronunciation for and include 3 misspelled versions of each word. Unlike most JumpStart games, the activities are not presented in the context of a storyline, set of goals, or clear fictional setting, but there is an overarching underwater theme. Crab Attack: Crabs are stealing coins from a treasure chest. Each coin carried by a crab will have a letter on it, and a word will be shown at the bottom of the screen with one to three letters missing (depending on gameplay level). Shoot the crabs carrying the correct letters to encapsulate them in bubbles and cause them to release their coins. You can also shoot bubbles at various sea creatures roaming about to get bonus points. Fish Frenzy: Fish are jumping out of a lake and falling through the sky. Frankie must collect the fish labeled with correctly-spelled words in his basket before they can be eaten by the alligator on the other side of the lake. Users can move him around with the arrow keys to collect the fish. Seahorse Speedway: Frankie is riding a seahorse in a racing competition against other dogs riding seahorses. Fish with letters on them will be swimming near the top of the screen, and the user uses the space bar to eat the fish with letters on them that will complete a word. Like in Crab Attack, 1-3 letters must be filled in, depending on the gameplay level. Eating correct letters causes the seahorse to go faster. Players must also avoid "anchovies", red fishes with pointy noses that will poke and momentarily stun the seahorse. | ||

| Little Bill Thinks Big | Animal Joy, Inc. / Scholastic, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

This is a cartoon-style educational game based on a book series and children's television show created by comedian Bill Cosby. The title character is a five-year-old boy with some big ideas about a surprise he wants to make for his family. There are four paths for the game, one for each season, and although the basic mini-games remain the same each path has a slightly different storyline and a different final surprise. The player chooses which season to play at sign-in, and can decide to play another once the first one is finished. Following the introduction, Little Bill presents the player with a list of items he needs in order to create his "surprise". To win the items, the player must explore the house and discover and complete five activities: The Cookie Match Game - help decorate cookies by duplicating a template; The Submarine Game - avoid obstacles and collect a given number of gold coins with a submarine; The Alien Game - click and drag lost aliens to their ships, grouping by color and pattern; The Hamster Game - match pipe connectors by color and shape to make a tunnel for Little Bill's hamster, Elephant; The Photo Album Game - re-order some photos in a logical sequence; Some objects animate when clicked or offer quick little mini-games such as picking out a can that is different from others in a group, or picking a block by color and number. The game uses automatic leveling, adjusting the difficulty as the player selects correct or incorrect answers. Once all the items have been collected the player is directed to the back yard to assemble Little Bill's surprise and create his own picture which can then be printed. Some of the early childhood skills covered in this game are sequencing and logic, matching and pattern recognition, counting, sorting, shapes and colors, early math and creative play. | ||

| Piglet's Big Game | Hulabee Entertainment Inc. / Disney Interactive, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is based on characters originally created by the author A.A. Milne in 1926 for his book Winnie-The-Pooh, illustrated by Ernest Shepard; it was eventually licensed to Disney and made into several films. This particular game is very loosely connected to the movie "Piglet's Big Movie", released in the same year. Piglet is a very small and somewhat scatterbrained animal - he has an idea that something special is going on today, but he's forgotten what. He stops in to visit Rabbit in the Hundred Acre Wood, and discovers that Rabbit is making a Very Large Soup, and needs Piglet's help to gather the ingredients. This is an adventure game with point-and-click controls. As you collect the six missing items for the soup and explore the Wood, you'll meet Piglet's friends and help each one with a puzzle: Tigger is bouncing at a beehive and is very anxious to collect it's honey, but he needs something to put the honey in; Pooh has dug a Woozle Trap in front of his door, and now he can't get across it to get to his own pots of honey. Owl needs help finding the key to his house; Eeyore needs a little assistance mixing paints. There are more puzzles as you solve the first ones and look for your soup ingredients; to get the pepper from Owl you first have to put his spices in alphabetical order. To collect the milk, you have to cross a pond by jumping on lily pads and rocks, and once you've gotten Pooh across the Woozle Trap you'll need to put a broken honey pot together for him. The puzzles are not exactly the same and vary in difficulty from game to game. There are many small clickable animations in the scenes - pop-up gophers, chirping birds, plates that bounce - adding another layer of interest for the very young player the game is meant for. | ||

Cakewalk - Angel Cake needs help building cake houses; the player assembles them using cake bases and decorations from a scroll, following directions about the minimum number of doors, windows, and decorations required. The River Fudge - As Strawberry floats down the river on a giant graham cracker the player maneuvers her raft with the mouse, collecting fish pops and magic berries and avoiding traps such as whirlpools and rock candy crystals. Once all the ingredients have been collected the player proceeds to the Amazing Cookie Machine, where he must deposit ingredients in the machine according to recipes. The quantities and assortment of items vary depending on the level selected. From the options screen, the player can adjust difficulty settings manually or select auto levels to allow the game to adjust automatically. Clicking the strawberry on the bottom right brings up a control bar from which the player can choose to exit, change options, view how many and what type of cookies he has made, check the number of ingredients in Strawberry's backpack, or access a Help movie about the activity he is currently playing. It's aimed at children between the ages of 4 and 6 and focuses on skills developed in pre-school and kindergarten - logical thinking, following directions, hand-eye coordination, problem solving, spatial reasoning and creative planning. | ||

Part if a Russian series of adult titles similar to "Rendezvous with a Stranger". There's more than a dozen such discs, which, due to their small circulation, poor quality and specific topics, were not available on the Internet for a long time. This together with the "Hotel of Desires" forms a "hotel" dilogy (and there are also "office" and "hospital"). Both games use the same locations with minor changes. For example, in this game you have to regale the girls. The player again needs to spend an infinite amount of time collecting puzzles in order to enrich himself, and only then "come off in full" - to the point that a medical team will come to the room. In the face of one nurse... Girls will have to give gifts almost blindly, risking to fail the whole game every time. In general, the gameplay here is one point. By all means belittling this game (which is absolutely fair), it is worth saying that this is one of the rarest parts of the series. | ||

The makers of the erotic hit - "Wet - The Sexy Empire", made this explosive mix of Sim and Erotic Adventure and takes up where their 1997 classic left off. Famous German cartoonist Carsten Wieland has once again amply demonstrated his amazing talent, giving us this timeless, colorful and thumpingly erotic masterpiece - his homage to the cult films of the 40's. It's North Africa, Casablanca in 1942. Wayne Johnson, a pilot and adventurer, manages to eke out a living with his plane, taking on anything from normal freight transport to gun-running and booze smuggling. A stowaway, the secret agent ChouChou, on one of his routine flights suddenly changes his whole life. She hides herself in a crate to get on board - when she gets out she holds a pistol to Wayne's head and forces him to change course. Suddenly German Stukas appear on the horizon and start attacking the transport plane. Wayne manages to shake them off with a few hair-raising maneuvers, but his plane is badly damaged and he has to put down hard on the desert, knocking himself out in the process. When he comes to, the first thing he sees is ChouChou, who has cleaned up his wounds. Together they make their way over the burning sands to Casablanca, where ChouChou has to deliver important documents that she stole from a German courier. During their hellish desert journey, they fall in love and when they reach Casablanca, they decide to go into business together. Using a small hotel room as their HQ, they coordinate spying missions, smuggling trips and acts of sabotage, they help fugitives to escape from Casablanca - they even sabotage a secret German air base. It's on this base that Wayne finds a new plane - so he and ChouChou start taking on jobs, ultimately building up the business until it becomes a money-spinner - Airline 69, the company for special contracts. To achieve this objective, the two will go to any lengths, like taking over a brothel and arranging orgiastic sex parties at which they film the participants and later blackmail them. The game unfolds to offer the player 30 locations in comic style, more than 30 diverse characters to interact with, a multitude of cut sequences in cartoon style, countless opportunities for hair-raising action, and online help with Penthouse model SASHA. | ||

Long time ago, there was balance in the world. Three great tribes lived in peace with each other. Up in the sky, the Heavenly Tribe; down on the Earth, the Human Tribe; and between them, the Demon Tribe. But among the demons, there were some who wanted more power. The members of the Heavenly Tribe were forced to seal the rebellious demons in what they called "Path of Light". But one of them figured out how to break the seal. The demons were now free, and they attacked the Human Tribe. Horrible massacres, ruined cities and villages, exterminated nations - it looked like the End of Days had come to the humans... A boy named Anduke was raised in a secluded location by two female elves. It was clear that the boy possessed extraordinary powers: at the tender age of nine, he was already able to sexually satisfy his lovely nannies. But a mysterious force tore the boy away, knocking him unconscious. He awoke ten years later, in a human village. A promise given to a young girl led him to a fateful meeting that revealed his destiny: he had the blood of Heavenly Tribe in him, and was the only one able to save the Human Tribe from the demons... Dangel is a traditional Japanese-style RPG. Anduke meets companions on his quest, who join his party. The navigation is done from top-down perspective, while random turn-based battles use first-person view. Player-controlled characters can use regular attacks or magic. Anduke is also able to give commands to his elf companion, who has access to many magical spells. The game features full-screen anime-style cut-scenes to advance the story, many of which depict sexual encounters. | ||

This eroge visual novel was first released in Japan as Zanmataisei Demonbane and later was translated in English release in 2011. Arkham city is a bustling hub of commerce and industry, however Arkham is also a center of eldrich lore: home to Miskatonic University, an institution of higher learning with one of the most complete libraries of arcane literature in the world. In the span of two generations the town was built up to the status of prestige it now commands, an expansion helmed by the Hadou Group, an industrial complex and family dynasty currently run by the young Hadou Ruri. She pursues the peace and prosperity of Arkham diligently, against the forces of darkness threatening to plunge the city, and the world, back into a second dark age. Among the most sinister threats to Arkham City is the evil Black Lodge syndicate. Led by the charismatic Master Therion, his nihilistic outlook shapes the group's destructive goals: with a circle of powerful sorcerers at his command, the potential for sowing chaos in the city is unmatched. Former Miskatonic University Magic Academy student Daijuuji Kurou knows little of grimoires, but what he does know terrifies him - enough that he left his university life behind, and now practices a failing detective business in the shelter of an orphanage in a quiet corner of Arkham. But just when he thought his Academy past was buried, it catches up with him and pulls him back into the dark shadows of the occult: Hadou Ruri herself appears at his door with an offer he can't refuse. The only way to combat the Black Lodge's growing magical power is to find, and retrieve, a grimoire with the power to activate the mightiest Machina of all: Demonbane. The quest to find this forbidden tome will change Kurou's destiny... forever. The PS2 release removes all of the adult content, features completely redone voice acting with a new cast, and includes a 1-episode anime OVA. | ||

An adult-oriented bishoujo adventure game. The G-Collections version features the original Japanese voices along with English translation. This game is 100% uncensored. Welcome to the world of Figures of Happiness, a love story that goes beyond life and death. Minamo is a pure and romantic girl who can be quite clumsy at times, and she's in love with the handsome Satoru, a boy in her class. While working at her part-time job, Minamo spies Ryo and Mio as they eat together, their love for each other clearly visible in their eyes. She wishes she could sit like that with Satoru, but she knows that she's too shy to ever come out and confess her feelings to him. Unfortunately, Minamo is killed in an accident. Filled with remorse at not seizing her chance for love while she was alive, she visits Ryo and asks for his help. If he'll lend her his own life force, she'll be able to tell her feelings to Satoru. Ryo doesn't know until it's too late that lending Marimo his life energy will turn him into a lifeless spirit! And so the wheels of fate turn, winding the destinies of everyone together: dead Marimo and her reluctant helper Ryo; the pure Mio and her carefree twin sister Mao; the competitive Kokoro, who won't give up Satoru without a fight; the lonely spirit Izumi; and the perplexing Soul Collector. What twists and turns await this cast of characters before the final act is played? An English version was released in 2005. | ||

An almost surreal beginning of the game can cause a state of mild shock to the layman. “Total Recall” is the leitmotif of the first game scenes. An unfamiliar house, a strange hostess, amazing guests and an absurd situation in which the main character of the game finds himself. What does this conspiracy of silence mean? Why doesn't anyone try to help and everyone behaves as if nothing is happening? What secret is hidden within the walls of the silent house? A persistent search for answers to these questions gradually reveals a completely different picture. The erotic harmony of the mysterious world is replaced by a rapid series of events leading to a stunning denouement... What you "remember" and who you become - depends only on you. Features: Over two hours of full-screen video; Intuitive interface; Ability to create and view a video; Intense mysterious plot; Alternative solutions; Hot erotic videos. | ||

All parts of this adult series were made according to a template - only the backgrounds were changed (and even then not always) and videos. The action here will take place - drum roll - in the hotel. The main character is itching, and he stubbornly sticks first to the maid, then to the roommate. What are the dialogues? For example, when the maid says that her name is Lyuba, the reply follows:" I I thought that love comes by itself, but it turns out, you can just call it." The player is required to collect boring puzzles for a long, long time (moreover, in this part, the mini-game is activated by pressing the PlayStation One on the table), so that, having earned money, give gifts to girls. And only a randomly selected combination will have an effect. Of course, there are hints that can hint at some of the items, but you still have to choose something by trial and error. All this is wrapped in cheap collage graphics created on the knees (especially since the number of screens can be counted on the fingers of one hand), and there is nothing to say about the videos themselves - it simply cannot be worse. | ||

When a panty thief helps himself to the underwear in the girls' dorm at a school for young nurses-in-training, Maria asks him to help put a stop to it by moving into the dorm himself.

|---|---|---|---|

|
This is a visual novel with horror elements. Like Nitroplus' heavily Mythos-inspired Demonbane series, Saya no Uta's plot is somewhat Lovecraftian. Although direct references to the Cthulhu Mythos are minimal, the dark, eerie atmosphere is reminiscent of his works. Many plotlines are similar to the manga Phoenix - Resurrection, specifically the life of Robita. It revolves around a medical school student, Fuminori Sakisaka. Before the main plot, he was involved in a car accident which killed both his parents. He was saved, however, by an experimental brain surgery... which just happened to drastically alter his perception of the world. Everything now appears to him as if it were made from guts, slime, and gore. Well, almost everything. One night while still in the hospital, a girl dressed in white appears before him. To him she appears completely normal, and above that, downright beautiful. Rather than consider the why of this, he latches onto her as his reason to keep living, and convinces her to move in with him once he's released from the hospital. The more things go on, however, the more Fuminori withdraws from the rest of his life. His friends become increasingly worried for his sake, including Yoh Tsukuba, who has had a crush on him since before the accident. His doctor, Ryoko Tanbo, still has the impression that there's something he's not telling her... This is true enough; out of fear of becoming a lab experiment, Fuminori never told her (or anyone save Saya) about the way he now sees the world. Finally, there is his search for information on Professor Ougai. All these things and the decision on whether Fuminori wants to be normal interact to drive the plot forward. Not for the faint of heart, for obvious reasons. On February 24, 2009, the complete English 1.0 translation patch was released. A three-issue comic book based on it, called Song of Saya, has been produced by IDW Publishing and was released from February though April 2011. On Aug 13/2019, a newly Remastered Version was released that was updated for Windows 10 and beyond. This new version includes: New Game Engine; Higher Quality Image Resolution; Improved Translation; Better System Compatibility with Windows 10; edited for everyone on Steam. | ||

In this sequel to the original hentai adventure, one year has passed since the events described in X-Change. Takuya Aihara has a steady girlfriend named Asuka, and studies at the Miyanomori Private School. Are the nightmares of his past life in a girl's body finally over? Probably not... A chemistry club member Chisato uses Takuya as a guinea pig in an experiment, and as a result he turns into a girl again. Only this time, not only men, but also girls want him. "X-Change 2" features more hardcore scenes than its predecessors, including lesbian sex. There are 23 possible endings to the game you can attain by making choices that are presented to you during its course. A revised version named X-Change 2R was later released that featured updated graphics, more girls/pics, and an additional ending. The sister of the main character makes an appearance (when she was originally not in 2), and the graphics take up the full 800x600, instead of the partial screen it did in the original 2. That means sometimes the original graphics are either stretched to the 800x600 size, or there is additional graphic on the top or bottom. | ||

This is a fully-voiced tactical RPG in which the story and battles are divided into chapters and are accessed by traveling to a territory on the World Map. Each character has a set of special skills and magic and their MP is slightly restored after each turn. Players can also buy and assign additional troops to each character which can chain attacks. Unfortunately, items gained during battles can't be sold. Each character levels up separately after defeating an enemy and, depending on how well the player fought during a battle, they can get rare items and extra gold. The game has 3 difficulty levels and the harder the difficulty level is, the more items the player can acquire after each battle. Some of the levels can be replayed to gain additional items and experience. The game takes place in the kingdom of Belluna which is still healing from the scars of a civil war that took place a decade ago. The rookie knight Ogil and his childhood friend Fio fall witness to the assassination of the king of Belluna by rebellion soldiers from the neighboring Jerenia Republic. Despite losing the king and being torn between both sides of the conflict, the hero makes his own choices of what to fight for. However, the path the heroes have chosen will be filled with blood, darkness and significant changes to their beloved homeland. | ||

This is an unorthodox stage clear type simulation Japanese RPG that adopts the so-called "weight turn system". There was almost no change in the battle system in the 1st and 2nd works. The growth system is a little different from the conventional RPG, and there is no concept of level, and if each character has a stone called " secret stone " and the experience value accumulated in the secret stone is accumulated above a certain level, that A system is adopted in which the character who owns the secret stone is given the unique status growth distribution of the secret stone. Six attributes of water, fire, earth, wind, light, and darkness were assigned to each character and armament, and there were armaments and items that could not be equipped depending on the character. As for magic, by using scrolls, any character can use magic as long as it is not magic with attributes contrary to that character, so it was possible to develop characters with a high degree of freedom in combination with the above secret stone system. In the first work, love elements were entwined, and depending on the choice, there was one of the heroine characters and the ending of the main character Ogel. There is only one ending after the second work. In the second game, by importing the character data and ending flag of the first game, it was possible to transfer the character's abilities and items at the start of the game. However, there is no data import for the 2nd to 3rd works and the 1st to 3rd works. | ||

It is a little known fact that a quarter of humans on earth do not have souls. When a person loses their will to live, their soul goes to what is called the Bad Universe, a sort of mid-life purgatory, and their body lives on as an automaton in the world we all live in. Once in Bad Universe, the only way for a soul to return to its rightful body is to express such a will to live that it is judged right to live again by the higher powers. Until this is the case, the soul lives out several full lives there, spending a lifetime on the Bad Universe for every year its body does in the regular one. But there are loopholes in this system. Blood Zero is some sort of cross between Diablo, Zelda and Final Fantasy. One or two players control a party of two to four characters. They can interact with the world with an action key, which is also used as an attack key. The interaction consists in talking to characters, pulling switches, opening chests, reading signs and using telephones to save the game progress. Each character has a red bar for life, which is filled by using health items or by killing a rapid succession of enemies. By doing so, an orange bar is also filled, and when it is completely full, the character goes "Freak Out", dealing more damage than usual. At the right top of the screen there's a blue bar, which is the Magic Meter, used for some special abilities. Other special abilities use the special weapon inventory at the top center, represented by Crosses, Cells, and Bombs respectively. At the top left there's a red bar called the Massacre Meter, which fills when a rapid succession of enemies is killed. If it is completely filled a special effect is triggered. There are several random effects, from lighting attacks to more money dropped by dead enemies. By killing enemies the characters earn experience points and can gain levels. Each level gained adds one point to each stat (Strength, Defense, Dexterity and Intelligence) and and five points to max Health, plus five extra points to be expended at will. If an option called "Best Attack" is selected, the computer will expend the bonus points the best way according to the kind of weapon the character uses (melee, guns or magic). There are over sixty kinds of basic weapons, which can be upgraded and customized. Some weapons have stats requirements and will fit better some characters than others. Weapons shown in red cannot be used by the given character at that time. There are seven possible endings to Blood Zero, seen depending on the character with the highest level in the party. | ||

Nina, the princess of Wyndia, and Cray, chieftain of the cat-like Woren tribe, are searching for Cray's relatives who disappeared under mysterious circumstances during a diplomatic mission. Flying through the sky on their sandflier, Nina and Cray are attacked by a worm shaped dragon. With their vehicle damaged, Nina returns to the city to find parts, bumping into a naked young boy named Ryu along the way, who is unsure of where he is. At the very same time, Nina is again attacked by a dragon. Confused by the strange events taking place, Nina agrees to help the young boy. Meanwhile, the ancient Emperor Fou Lu awakens from his slumber in his tomb. His plan is to return to the world of human, conquer it anew, and impose his iron rule on it. It's a fairly traditional Japanese-style RPG, with turn-based combat, party management, linear story progression, and other characteristic elements of the genre. As in the previous game, characters become stronger and learn new skills by performing tasks for "masters" living in different towns. Ryu, the main protagonist of the series, has retained the series' trademark gameplay element: the ability to turn into a dragon during combat. It's rich in mini-games of various types, including the popular fishing mini-game that was present in previous installments as well. | ||

Kung-fu has many different teachings, and one of them is Xianjian - magic sword. Li Xiaoyao, the hero of the first Xianjian Qixia Zhuan, has become the leader of this school. But another teaching, called Emei, is gaining popularity among disciples of king-fu. The head of Emei school, a man named Qian Ye ("Thousand Leaves"), is admired by simple people. Will there be cooperation or conflict between these two kung-fu masters? Meanwhile, a tower where ancient demons were once sealed has been destroyed. Demons broke free and began to roam China undisturbed. Many heroes are ready to face the challenge of defeating those demons. Among those is a young man, Li Xiaoyao's former neighbor, named Wang Xiaohu. Li Xiaoyao refused to teach Wang Xiaohu martial arts, and the boy realized that he will have to prove to kung-fu masters and the whole world that he can become a worthy heir to Li Xiaoyao and his Xianjian technique. This is a sequel to Xianjian Qixia Zhuan, utilizing the same gameplay system as its predecessor. The player navigates the characters through isometric locations (now with pre-rendered backgrounds) and fights enemies in turn-based style, using regular attacks, sword techniques, and magic spells. The battles are also viewed from an isometric perspective, and the enemies are visible on screen before a contact with them initiates a battle. Gameplay additions include the ability to conjure powerful creatures to assist the party in combat, as well as a magic system that requires characters to mark the battle field with a particular element in order to gain tactical advantage over the enemy. | ||

Jingtian is a servant in the biggest jewelry store in the town of Yuzhou. He can judge jewels very well and has an eye for beautiful things. He also has an extraordinary memory and a talent for sword-fighting, so he hopes to become one day the most skillful swordsman and the richest person in China. Naturally, the young man is also interested in beautiful girls, particularly in Xuejian, the daughter of Tang Kun, the boss of the store he works in. Xuejian is not only beautiful - she has knowledge of culture, kung-fu, and medicine. Lately, Tang Kun became sick, and there is a family struggle for his heritage. Willing to protect Xuejian, Jingtian becomes involved in a net of conflicts, and realizes the time to find a use for his talents as a swordsman has finally come. This is the third installment in the Chinese role-playing series; it begins a new story arc which is not directly connected to the one of the two previous games. It is also the first game in the series that utilizes a fully 3D engine. The camera can be rotated 180 degrees, and the isometric perspective is abandoned in favor of 3D third-person one. The battles also take place in a fully 3D environment. Battle engine has undergone several refinements, including two different energy types for special techniques as well as a bar that shows the progression of turns and the exact time a player-controlled character or an enemy needs to execute an attack. Magic spells initially take longer time to cast; this can be countered by improving a character's proficiency in casting corresponding magic. By focusing on one elemental discipline, the character will also be able to gain access to more powerful spells. True to the tradition of the series, the enemies are visible on screen, and battles are triggered when there is contact between the protagonist and the enemy. A few character-specific field techniques have been added, which are sometimes needed to remove an obstacle during dungeon exploration. A light dating element has been added: Jingtian can talk to his female party members in towns, and influence his relationship with them depending on the player's choices. | ||

This is an action style game that features 2 selectable characters (Mint and Maya) from Squaresoft’s PS1 RPG , Threads of Fate. Mint has close range attacks while Maya uses long range magic. Both acquire different unique spells throughout the game that use MP, which regenerates after a short amount of time. There are a total of 7 stages, each ending with a boss battle. It looks and plays a lot like the later-generation Ys titles (Ark of Napishtim, Oath in Felghana, Origin), featuring sprite based characters on top of polygonal backgrounds. The visuals are pretty simplistic and the controls aren't quite as fast nor as tight, but otherwise it feels strikingly similar. However, compared to Ys, or even Threads of Fate, it's more of a straight-up brawler than an RPG. Although you gain health and magic extends after completing each stage, there are no experience levels, and thus no reason to kill most enemies outside of increasing your score. There are a few areas where the screen stops and you need to take out certain enemies to proceed, but otherwise, you can get through most parts of the level simply by jumping to the end. When bad guys are killed, they explode in a mess of gems, which are automatically drawn to your character. It's a cool little effect reminiscent of any number of arcade shoot-em-ups. There really isn't much to the gameplay other than charging forward and bashing enemies. You can play as either Mint or Maya - Mint uses close range attacks while Maya uses long range magic bursts. Both have access to different sets of spells that are useful for clearing out large hordes of enemies. These all drain MP, although it regenerates quickly. Unlike the health bonuses, you need to explore a tiny bit off the main path to find additional magic spells, although they're never actually hidden. | ||

The starting point of Elixir is an ancient prophecy about a long extinct tribe, the Ingoles, which were brutally murdered by the humans. The prophecy says that their god will be reborn as girl to revenge his people. The evil king Ektele Ulka kills all children, but Elixir, a baby with the gift of magic, manages to escape. Now she travels through the country with her friends and tries to survive. The game is played similar to Diablo. The enemies are killed simply by clicking on them, the player also can use special abilities and magic. The biggest difference to other action RPGs is that Elixir is party based. The player has up to four characters to control and since there is no pausing feature like in Baldur's Gate this results in hectic playing. The game is divided into 52 missions and 80 varied quests. Like similar games the main motivation is to find better equipment and advance the characters. | ||

In China there is a legend about the mighty Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor, who lived about 3000 BC. He waged war against two other powerful monarchs, Yandi and Chiyou, fighting for control over China. After a long time, the power of Yandi was reduced, and Chiyou disappeared, allowing Huangdi to become the emperor. But the war was not over. For centuries and millennia later it continued, taking different shapes - blood, battles and ambitions of warlocks would not end. In the Three Kingdoms era, 3rd century AD, the ancient war was revived once again. And so the seventeen-year-old boy Ji Xuan, proficient in sword fighting, and his older sister Ji Shuang, a master of demon-summoning, found themselves involved in a great conflict that will soon change their lives forever. "Huanxiang Sanguozhi", meaning Fantasy Story of Three Kingdoms, is based on historical events, featuring famous characters from the Three Kingdoms epoch, which became so popular in Asia thanks to Luo Guanzhong's classic novel. But the game gives a different interpretation to the story, involving fictional and supernatural characters and themes that were absent in other adaptations of the saga. The game plays like a traditional Asian RPG. You can set your combat style to be entirely turn-based, or with active time element, like in Final Fantasy games. The battles are viewed from isometric perspective, while navigation through the game world is done from a regular third person view. The enemies are visible in hostile areas, but appear randomly on the world map. The game allows you to choose between three difficulty levels. | ||

This is a role-playing game reminiscent of DOS RPGs of old from the makers of the Last Half of Darkness series. When the game starts, a figure hooded in a brown cloak tells you that the "source of darkness" must be destroyed to save the town of GhostBlood. Throughout the game this cloaked person, Mystar, is stationed at the beginning of each new area and will keep you up to date with the quest at hand. While exploring the various levels, your objective is to kill monsters which consist of skeletons, specters, ghouls, vampires and others. Your foes wander around aimlessly and do not attack unless they happen to get in your way. You must whack at them first to get their attention. That is handled by pointing at them and repeatedly clicking your mouse button. When defeated, some foes drop valuables which can be collected in inventory. Spend your coin at the store which is accessed at any time by pressing the Shift keyboard key. Click open treasure chests to find gold, equipment, reviving potions and magic scrolls. Various types of armor and weapons can be found and their stats are explained on screen. All items have varied degrees of strength or effectiveness. Monsters become more numerous as well as more powerful as you progress. There is limited inventory space and excess objects must be dropped. With each Level-Up, you are able to assign points to strength, magic, dexterity, and stamina. All information is communicated in text form without voices. There is no music but spooky sound effects give the impression of a horror theme. Sound effects include a howling wolf, creaks, rattling chains, moans, screams and so forth. The game includes an editor for creating your own levels. | ||

In 386 AD, the kingdom of Northern Wei was attacked by several neighbors, the most dangerous of which were the Rouran people. North China, once a rich region, was devastated by wars. In order to protect the northern border, the king Tai Wu ordered the general Liu Chengyi to form an elite squad of soldiers to attack Rouran. Hua Mulan's father was chosen. He is already an old man, and Hua Mulan's brother is too young. So Hua Mulan decides to go to war instead of the father. There is one problem, however: Hua Mulan is a girl. Based on a popular classic Chinese legend, this feels like a traditional Chinese RPG, but its gameplay is a departure from the typical turn-based style of the genre. It's an action RPG in which you attack enemies directly on the field, without being taken to a separate battle screen. You attack by targeting the enemy and clicking on it. You have AI-controlled partners who will help you in battles. You also receive many quests and visit towns where you can buy weapons and supplies. | ||

Lionheart presents a Europe where a breach in the space-time continuum has prolonged the Dark Ages and kept most areas under the sway of the Inquisition. The space-time breach, called the Disjunction, allowed magical energies and powerful daemons to enter Earth during the Third Crusade. Lionheart players will create and develop a character in this alternate universe, and choose how to pursue their destiny. The RPG character system, converted from the Fallout rules, includes 30 skills, 40 perks, and 15 traits. Since the system is classless, players can modify their character however they choose, and advance as far as level sixty. Lionheart's world contains eight major areas, 80 levels, and a mixture of story and combat arenas. The random item generator allows players to keep discovering new weapons, armor, and charms. Fifty enemies, 30 spells, and a multiplayer system allowing four players to cooperate are also featured. Interact with characters including Galileo and Leonardo da Vinci as you explore 16th century Europe. Create an alliance with either the Knights Templar, the Inquisition, or the Wielders. Select a character from such classes as Feralkin, Sylvant, Demokin, and Human Pureblood. An exclusive free promo item was also included from retailing giant Best Buy. It's essentially a mini-expansion pack for this RPG set in an alternate Europe perpetually trapped in the Dark Ages. The package includes a disc with one new level, exclusive new items, a "Making of Lionheart" trailer, and an expanded array of monsters, spells, and weapons. | ||

This is an action/role-playing game filled to the brim with laugh-out-loud humor and boasts more secrets and fun things to do than most any other game of this generation without making the player sink into the boring rut of level grinding. It's all about moving from place to place while quickly dispatching with hordes of enemies, finding tons of treasure, and making girls fall in love with the hero. Also, by helping those around you, players can see the world change before their eyes as a forest, in which the main character builds his house, grows into a bustling town. It places a balanced focus on story and player's interactions with other in-game characters. These interactions, of course, have far reaching effects that can trigger new scenes, and in the end, gives players a reason to play the game again and again. The story itself, remains light-hearted at the core, and is reminiscent of classic 2D RPGs from the Super Nintendo, Sega CD, Sega Saturn, and Playstation era.

Mistmare is a role playing game set in an alternate reality where the industrial revolution never took place. You play as the monk Isidor, in a medieval looking Europe, using magic based on sounds to fight wrong doers and monsters and to restore order to the fragile world around you. A mystical, deadly fog has separated the northern parts of Europe from the southern and one of your main tasks is to find out the mysteries surrounding the phenomenon. The game is fully 3D, uses time based combat and magic and can be played in first or third person perspective. It is heavily stats based although you can escape a battle by good old running. The problems and quests are mostly adventure based, as in "pulling the right lever opens the hidden door". Make sure you patch the game as it shipped with many bugs. | ||

This is relatively obscure action RPG set in China. The story takes place in China, where a young man is fighting to become number one in the martial arts world. Things get complicated when he falls in love with a superior’s daughter. The CG ARPG is heavy on story and melodrama, much like Rhapsody of Zephyr. It has nice looking graphics with a medieval European view but with Chinese characters. | ||

Undermountain has been contained beneath Waterdeep ever since it was created, but the creator has disappeared and the monsters are fighting for supremacy as well as coming out into Waterdeep.

| Neverwinter Nights: Shadows Of Undrentide | BioWare Corporation, Floodgate Entertainment, LLC / Atari, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is the first official expansion pack for the original Neverwinter Nights game, which must be installed. Unlike most add-ons, this expansion doesn't extend the first game. It is an entirely new campaign in which players can start a brand new character or load up a previously saved NWN character. The story begins in Master Drogan's School for Heroes amidst the snowy mountains in the northern portion of the Forgotten Realms. Your studies finished, you and several other adventurers are just about to graduate. As you walk toward the main hall, havoc ensues as a band of kobolds attacks, stealing four magical artifacts and seriously injuring Master Drogan, who is unconscious. You are sent out into the world to find a special healing potion for Drogan and to recover the stolen artifacts. Your travels will take you deep into the Nether Mountains, the Anauroch Desert with a caravan of halfling gypsies, and high above the earth inside the flying city of Undrentide. The game is divided into 3 Sections comprised of Chapter 1, the Interlude and Chapter 2, and gameplay does not differ from the original game with the same engine and interface throughout. But there is more interaction with your "henchmen" companions in this expansion. At first, you can choose between 2 companions to accompany you: the self-righteous, half-orc sorcerer Xanos or Dorna Trapspringer, a dwarven rogue-cleric. Later on you can choose Deekin, a kobold Bard. Each one has a unique personality, attributes and abilities which you can access by talking to them or selecting it. For instance, talk to Dorna and ask her to cast one of her cleric spells. If they have double classes (as is the case with Dorna), you can tell them to "train up" in just one or both of them as they increase in levels. The ability to view and manipulate your henchman's inventory is new, allowing you to equip them and load them down with objects as you see fit. When you have advanced higher in experience, you can choose one of the 5 new Prestige classes, or continue on with your current class. The new Prestige Classes are: Assassin (Stealthy, back-stabbing attacker), Arcane Archer (Spell-casting Ranger with special ranged attack abilities), Blackguard (Evil Warrior, absolute opposite of a Paladin), Harper Scout (Stealthy Rogue/Ranger), Shadow Dancer (Evasive and stealthy Magic user). Your character can be played in the single-player game as well as in the multiplayer online world. If you are into making MODs or being a Virtual Dungeon Master, Shadows of Undrentide adds more goodies to play with. The winter, ruins, and desert tile sets give module creators more variety, as do the new classes, monsters, skills, and feats. | ||

This is a dark fantasy Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG) with a large amount of player interaction with other players and the world. The game takes place in the world of Aerynth during the Age of Strife - a dark period in the history of the world. Players can play as one of 10 races and over 20 character classes. One of the most notable aspects of the game is the high level of player-versus-player combat (PvP). "Feature characters", portrayed by actors hired by the developer, play important people in the world. Politics is also a major part of gameplay. Unlike many other MMORPGs, it puts all the players in one large conglomerated set of worlds rather than mirrored shards/servers. It was the first major MMO to offer dynamic world content as a primary feature of the game. Most MMOs are static, meaning the world itself does not change based on player actions. Dynamic worlds allow player to change the game world itself; morphing terrain, building and destroying buildings and fortifications, and setting up patrol paths for player-hired AI combatants. Beyond the price of the game software, players must pay a monthly fee to play this exclusively online game. On March 15, 2006 the game was made free-to-play. It closed on July 1, 2009. There are a few free player run servers out there still for anyone who wants to play. But they offer their own builds of the client for download and are not compatible with the original cd. In Feb/2021, the game reopened on Steam. | ||

Originally released in October 2001 in Japan, ShadowFlare became an instant craze among young, Japanese gamers. It's a Diablo-style mission-based PC action/role-playing game that consists of 4 episodes. You start your journey as a hired mercenary working for gold, precious items, and fighting experience in a demon-ruled land. As you adventure through the vast ruins of what's left of the world, you'll deduce what happened and who's responsible for the devastation. Once you've reached a certain skill level in the game, you'll be able to choose a new profession for your character as a warrior, wizard/witch, or hunter. ShadowFlare has a high level of difficulty; however, you will have an animal companion to fight alongside you so don't worry. You will come across many acquaintances, foes, and friends along the way, including the original demon himself, Dignosis, and his rival, the white angel Altecia. | ||

Edda grew up in a simple, pure village, and could never imagine she would have a life full of adventures and danger. But one day there was a storm on the ocean, and Edda was transported into the secret land of fish people. There she met the lobster Bedin, a pupil of a wise magician and a treasure hunter. Together with him and her childhood friend, the powerful warrior Hulen, Edda embarks on a quest to put an end to a sinister force that threatens humanity. Heroine Anthem II continues directly the story which started in the first game. Although a Chinese (Taiwan)-made RPG, the game differs from others of its kind by being set in a fantasy land and not in historical China. Graphically it is heavily influenced by Japanese anime style. The game features large character sprites and hand-painted backgrounds. Enemy encounters are not random: enemies are visible on screen before the player initiates a battle with them. During the turn-based battles, the player can position and move characters tactically on the small battle screen. | ||

The Spirit Engine follows 3 travelers (of your choosing) who run into each other by very uncommon means. Their goal begins simple, they wish to learn how they arrived together. They are soon riddled with other problems, namely what the small floating object they follow is, and what secrets it holds. The game is a side-scrolling RPG, where chains are used to make up battle commands. As to the gameplay itself, The Spirit Engine is played from a side-scrolling view much like a typical platformer. You talk to various NPCs, explore new areas, and fight battles - a *lot* of battles. Clearly the main focus of the game, the battle system in The Spirit Engine is similar to a game of rock-paper-scissors, wrapped up in RPG lingo. You choose what tactics to use before the battle commences, and then watch as the action unfolds. Since most battles are fairly difficult, the game requires a good dose of strategic thinking to succeed, making it more challenging than an average RPG. The graphics in the game is outstanding; I have rarely seen better graphics in a game developed by amateur designers. The plot is also captivating enough to keep you glued to the screen (although a few cutscenes feel redundant). The quality of graphics, soundtrack, and unique gameplay combined make The Spirit Engine one of the highest quality freeware games ever made, and as a bonus it will take you quite a while to finish. | ||

This critically acclaimed 3D rpg action-adventure begins thousands of years before the events of the original Star Wars movies, and puts you in the role of an upcoming Jedi Knight. Will you choose the side of light and be kind, or choose the dark side, and be evil? The game opens with two sides fighting each other; the Republic and the Sith, an imperial power that's trying to take over Republic space. As the game begins, your spaceship is attacked and destroyed. You manage to escape to the pod, but the pod lands on a planet that's under Sith control, so you must find a way to escape. Throughout the game, you will visit many Star Wars locations that you'll recognize from the movies, such as Kashyyyk, the homeworld of the Wookee, and the desert planet of Tatooine. During your adventure, you will do various tasks. Some of these include investigating murders, taking up bounties, and find a cure for a vicious disease that is killing people left and right. Eventually, you will have to train at the Jedi academy to earn your lightsaber and your force moves. Force powers at your disposal are your basic force stun, which stuns opponents, force pull, which pulls opponents or objects toward you, and the Jedi Mind Trick, which persuades people to see things as you do. You will have various weapons at your disposal, from your lightsaber to a blaster to a grenade and all sorts of melee weapons. Your character (and your enemies for that) have the ability to duck and dodge and block your attacks, presenting with more of a challenge. The game uses the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rule system. | ||

| Temple of Elemental Evil: A Classic Greyhawk Adventure | Troika Games L.L.C. / Atari, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a turned Role-Playing Game based on the AD&D Greyhawk campaign setting, using the 3.5 version D&D rules. The game plot revolves the (suspected) rise of evil, originating from the Temple of Elemental Evil. In this game, players start with 5 (five) generated (or pre-generated) party members in the start of the adventure (a maximum of 8, the later 3 comprising of NPCs - Non Player Characters). Unlike most AD&D games, the maximum level cap for characters in this game is the 10th level. The party itself has an alignment (in addition to individual character alignments) which greatly affects the plot and choices the party makes throughout the game. Character alignments and the party alignment are now closely related. For example, a Lawful Good or Chaotic Evil character may not be selected within a True Neutral party alignment. Additionally, Paladins do not want to be in the same group with anyone evil. Thus, depending on the party alignment (nine default alignments to choose from), players may either take the course of being the good heroes ridding evil from the land or be the evil raiders butchering anything that moves, all of which (may it be good, bad or neutral), may effect the party reputation. The game interface in divided into 2 major area's: The overland map, where players can travel to specific locations in the land, and the default adventure interface where dialogs and combat occur. Most of the content, unique to playing an evil campaign was taken out of the game due to pressure by the publisher (Atari). An entire area with subquests (the brothel) was also removed because they were afraid to lose the T rating. Luckily, the 'Circle of Eight' fan group re-enabled the "Brothel" Map, NPC's, quest, and companion in their unofficial patches. | ||

| Toontown Online | Schell Games / Disney Interactive Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
An MMORPG set in Toontown, the place where cartoon characters live. Players take on the role of anthropomorphic animals of any shape, size, color or species they want. Out in the brightly-colored streets of Toontown, they can meet other Toons and battle the Cogs, corporate robots who seek to turn Toontown into an endless sprawl of metallic gray offices. The game is meant to be kid-friendly, so PvP is limited to games at "playgrounds" in the center of each of the six "neighborhoods" that make up Toontown. Also, rather than commit real violence, the Toons and the Cogs do battle with a variety of gags (a Toon can hit a Cog with a cream pie or a blast from a seltzer bottle; the Cog might counterattack with a Bouncing Check). The game had a subscription fee of US$9.95 a month. The game servers were shut down on Sep 19/2013. In response to the closure, former players have created multiple private servers of Toontown Online. The most popular server, Toontown Rewritten, is described by its developers as a fan-made revival of Disney's Toontown Online, created using publicly available downloads and information made freely available to the general public. | ||

|

This utilizes an unusual RPG scenario: is is set during World War II. It is licensed from the Pen & Paper system Weird Wars and the Polish movie series Jak rozpętałem drugą wojnę światową. During a passage near Norway the hero and his assistant get attacked and need to flee on a ice floe. Later they get picked up by a German submarine which thinks they were Gestapo agents. Here they learn the Nazis are searching for a mystical wonder weapon - of course this means the player has to find it first. The gameplay is similar to the classic Infinity-games: the player explores his surroundings which is presented in an isometric perspective. The fights are in real-time but can be paused at any time to issue commands to the party members. There are also many (mostly unvoiced) multiple choice dialogues where the player needs to carefully think about choices - bad decisions can lead the game to an unwinnable state. There the game also tries to insert the movies's humour. The player only creates his main character, all other party members are recruited on the way. He has the choice between seven classes, e.g. blacksmith, cook or drunk, which all have different abilities and uses. He also distributes points to more traditional character stats like strength or intelligence; these can also be improved after level ups when gaining enough experience points by solving quests and killing enemies. | ||

This is a direct sequel to Ushinawareta Suna no Miyako Kefin, the fifth installment of the Japanese action RPG series. Once again, the player controls the main character of the series, the adventurer Adol Christin, on a new journey. Adol's ship has been attacked, and he loses his consciousness. After a while, he wakes up on a sea shore, rescued by the Rehda, elf-like people who live in a small village. Soon he becomes involved in a quest for mysterious treasure hidden somewhere on nearby islands, and has to face an ambitious empire officer who will not tolerate any rivals on his hunt. It's an action RPG set (for the first time in the series) in a fully 3D environment. The gameplay is essentially of the "hack-and-slash" kind: the protagonist can run around, jump, and hit enemies with a sword. There are only three elemental swords found during the game, but they can be upgraded and modified in Port Rimorge by providing mineral called 'Emel' to the blacksmith. In Apr 28/2015, an English version was released with controller and widescreen support, checkpoint warping (one of the common complaints of Ys VI was that it featured too much backtracking), and a new Catastrophe mode that won't let you pack healing items for later. | ||

It was the first one to depart from its trademark "bumping" battle system. Combat has been somewhat modified to resemble a more traditional action RPG style, requiring the player to actively press a button to execute an attack rather than simply running into enemies. Adol can fight monsters using melee and magical techniques, and defend himself by pressing a button at the right time. The ability to jump has also been added, though it is rarely used for platforming purposes. Magic can be learned by acquiring and combining elemental orbs in the inventory, creating new spells. Separate experience points are awarded for vanquishing enemies with swords or with magic. | ||

The game first takes place in Dinovia, a village where dinosaurs live in peace. But things aren't so peaceful when a young triceratops named Vela is informed that her destiny is to wear the Amulet of Power and lead the dinosaurs into an age of, well, MORE peace. The bad part is spies were repoting information about Vela's destiny to their master, King Tyranus, who, after hearing the news, went to Dinovia and captured Vela. The player is cast as Bleep, Vela's brother, who must go through four levels, in four different worlds (Dinovia, Valendar, Tundrar, and Moltor). Play as Bleep and move through level after level of 3-D Jurassic worlds, waging war on nasty prehistoric reptiles and other creepy beasties, to bring your sister home. Collect amulets, avoid obstacles, rid Dinovia of the Tyranus's minions, and rescue Vela before it's too late. Features: Battle tons of dino-enemies; Four huge 3D levels to explore; Lots of amulets to collect. After Bleep defeats Tyanus, the player is cast as Vela, who then goes through all the levels in reverse order. The game is won when Vela goes back to where Bleep started the game. | ||

| BNB 2: Crazy Arcade [K] | Mizi Production / Nexon Korea Corporation | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The sequel to BnB Adventure, one of the most famous Korean arcade games, released, like it, in the wake of the success of the multiplayer game BnB Crazy Arcade. The game world has become much smaller: in the "sequel" only six levels await us, not counting the boss fights and "bonus" stages. The plot, and inBnB Adventure, which was not distinguished by its elaboration, turned into something completely background, albeit with a comical claim to "drama": in the introductory video we are shown the battle of the heroes with some terrible monster that attacked their world, and they even seem to be his chased away, but "not completely"; the first boss - let's open a surprise - will be a pirate, the main villain from the first part, but after defeating him it turns out that in fact it is the father (!) of one of the characters, bewitched by monsters - the servants of that monster from the video, so the ultimate goal is to save your parent. There are formally two protagonists - Tao, a boy in a blue suit familiar from BnB Adventure , and Buzzy, a red-clad girl who replaced Tigini - only in single-player mode you can now play only as the first. It was created primarily as a kind of "supplement" to the online arcade, which is the progenitor of dilogy - and this, unfortunately, is very clearly felt. So, the abundance of bonuses encountered - yellow circles with black letters "R", ironically called "rupees" - in this game itself are not needed for anything (except perhaps increasing the score), but at the same time in the Crazy Arcade itself represent almost some kind of "in-game currency" (which could somehow be transferred from this game to that one). Accordingly, it is assumed, in all likelihood, that the player will strive primarily to collect them, and not to fight with opponents or admire the environment - and, probably, this is precisely what explains the fact that we are practically here not detectable (despite the presence of chests available for opening, where something invisible seems to be lying): even the health reserve, traditionally displayed as a scale from round containers with water, decreasing when we are wounded, cannot be replenished in any way. To the developers' credit, it should be noted that they still tried to make small and, frankly, uninteresting levels as diverse as possible from the point of view of entourage. So, even within the framework of the first, we, in fact, will visit as many as three "worlds": a village, a beach and a pirate ship. Then there will be a lot of everything else: from the forest and the depths of the sea to the construction site. Periodically, there will also be bonus sections, where the perspective "from the side" typical for platformers will give way to a third-person view, and the hero, instead of battles, will have to ride on rails on a trolley or run over rough terrain. The controls are more or less standard: “Alt” is responsible for the jump, “Ctrl” is responsible for the attack, for which infinite balls of water are used, familiar from the first part, for a short-term call of any assistant from the network characters Crazy Arcade (which is available in BnB 2 since the start of the first level, and the number of remaining "evocations" is indicated in the lower left part of the screen) - "Shift". At each of the "normal" stages, you can find automatic save points - bars topped with the letter "S". Please note that there is a time limit, albeit a fairly humane one. | ||

This fan-made game was originally made for the remake competition held at www.remakes.org in spring 2003. It's based on Donkey Kong Junior, the 1982 sequel to the classic arcade game by Nintendo. Mario plays the antagonist, finally having captured Donkey Kong, and has put the ape in a locked cage. As Donkey Kong Jr., players will have to make their way through four different levels (Vines, Springboard, Chains and Mario's Hideout) in an attempt to find keys to free the little monkey's father. Along the way, Mario will send out Snapjaws, swooping purple birds, and electric sparks in an attempt to stop Junior. Junior can defend himself by dropping fruit found around the levels on the heads of his foes. The more foes a piece of fruit hits in a falling sequence, the higher bonus points can be scored. Junior can also avoid enemies more easily by grabbing hold of two chains or vines at a time to climb away faster, or by jumping over his foes. However, any long fall or falling into the water on certain levels will mean the loss of a life for Junior. In the final cut scene, Junior will free Donkey Kong and both will escape after giving Mario the boot. Once all four levels are cleared, the game levels will start over at a higher difficulty. | ||

This is a series of fan-made games similar to the original Mega Man, the player has to defeat eight bosses (while obtaining their weapons) before facing off against Dr Wily. In this series, you control the Mascot Mook of the games, a Metool known as "Hard Hat". Each of the games has Hard Hat pissed off at Wily for some reason, and hence makes him want to destroy Wily's ambitions in some way or other (though the two usually reconcile at the end of the game). Hard Hat: The Rebellion (2003) Hard hat is ready to do kill anything Dr. Wily wants. But, when he uses HH to do yet another menial task, HH rebels. Hard Hat 2: War Ensemble (2003) Everything was going well in Wily City, gas prices were high and people were terrified. Until, one day, Mr. X arrives. Both games will delight Mega Man fans with authentic, addictive gameplay from the NES series, coupled with new storylines and "boss" monsters. Although graphics are "ripped" from original games, they are superbly arranged to create new levels that are much harder than the originals. Fortunately, Hard Hat can gain new weapons and abilities much like Mega Man does - typically after defeating each boss. Hard Hat III (2012) Shortly after the defeat of Dr. X, Dr. Wily then decides to make 8 new robot masters. This does not bode well with our hero Hard Hat and he goes out to destroy Wily's new machines. Hard Hat IV (2017) It has been 5 years since Hard Hat imprisoned Dr. Wily and this time Wily teams up with Light to make new Robot Masters. | ||

This is a game based on a Swedish television series for children. Vintergatan is the Swedish name for the Milky Way and most of the game takes place on board a space ship that the player is in command of and where he will interact with some of the characters from the TV show. The player's task is to find and retrieve a number of organisms that have become extinct on Earth and are needed to save the planet. The player controls the space ship through its navigation system which shows a map of the solar system that the player clicks on to move. Each solar system consists of a number of planets, the ships of other space travellers and black holes that allow the player to travel to other solar systems. To retrieve the required organisms the player has to land on the right planets. When landing, the game changes into a side view platform game where the player takes control of one of the members of his crew. Each planet consists of a number of screens that the player has to traverse by climbing ladders, jumping between platforms and avoiding various creatures. There are also various items that can be collected such as gems or health packs. Sometimes specific items have to be used to progress, for example using bricks to build a bridge or a rope to reach a ladder. There is also a platform level aboard the space ships in which the player has make his way though to reach the engine room. In the engine room are crystals that are needed for the ship's shields. To get crystals the player has to visit special crystal planets. When collecting the crystals the game turns into a Lunar Lander-esque game where the player has to pick up the crystals without crashing into the surface. Upon exploring the galaxy the player will come across various odd space creatures. To communicate with these the player has to first turn on a translation machine by playing a mini-game similar to Mastermind where the player has to figure out which cables to connect with the machine. Once this is done the player has two options: to trade with the aliens or to battle them in a space duel. The space duel is played from a first person perspective where the player can only move left and right and where the goal is to shoot down the opponents. There are two other mini-games played from the same first person view, one where the rocks of an asteroid field has to be avoided and one where the player has to move through a black hole. | ||

This is a quite different game to most of the games in the Wonder Boy series and was first in arcades in 1988. You play a green-haired dude named Leo, who must attack the invaders that attempt to collect weapons and use them to destroy the land. The game starts out like a simple platform game, but it's just when Wonder Boy enters the skull further on that the game is transformed into a shoot 'em up, so basically the gameplay consists of action and shooter scenes. In the action scenes, your vitality decreases as you make your way towards the skull, but this can be restored by collecting fruit. A wide variety of weapons can be picked up, and not only does these allow you to use the weapons for a limited amount of time, but they also increase your vitality. In the shooter scenes, you ride your pink friend as you make your way through the scene. Here, your vitality remains static unless you are hit by an enemy passing by. As usual, there is a boss waiting for you at the end which you must defeat. Every boss changes color to show how much damage has been done to it. You have to defeat some bosses in two stages. If your vitality gets low in each scene, you'll lose a life. You can also choose to have Wonder Girl join you, as two players can play the game. In 2011, the Genesis version was ported for PC on Steam. | ||

This is an amusing puzzle game. More than 50 explosive and well designed levels in 14 stages, with varying challenges and "piece of cake" to "unbelievable". Bomba is an out-dated game hero from uneXplosive.com, a company that produces and stores special effects for Computer Games. Due to the very strict regulations and official orders, the effects are not allowed to be violent or politically incorrect in any way. As everyone knows, no money can be made with boring and non-violent stuff. That's why uneXplosive.com's laboratories and storages are full of illegal effects. But secret investigations gave the authorities a strong suspicion. So yesterday morning heavy-armed officers of the MAV (Ministry for Absence of Violence) appeared at uneXplosive.com demanding entrance. Now only one can help and save his company from being deleted: Bomba! But he has to remove all kinds of explosive material without leaving any evidence. Features: 61 mind challenging levels in 13 sectors, funny story and a thrilling ambience, well designed tutorial, groovy music, easy to pick up and play and to play over and over. | ||

This is an online game released for the PC in select areas such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. As of 2009, all servers have been shut down. However, there is a fan based version. Modes: Survival - classic Bomberman gameplay; Panel Paint - the floor has colored panels and when your bombs explode it changes the panels in your blast radius. The player with the most panels at the end of the time limit wins; Hyperbomb - special items are available on the map and there are five in total. Only three are required to enter the center room on the map; Dropbomb - it is a rule of avoiding bombs falling on the field, and the goal is to avoid bombs and survive until the last moment. Dropbomb is a thrilling rule that a character cannot place bombs and can disturb enemies while avoiding bombs using only items generated in the field. One day it changed to Boss Survival Mode; Boss Survival - the player will face a boss of their choosing. Special items can be purchased to help defeat the boss. In the Korean version, this is called the Battle Boss Mode. Bomb Kami Bomber, Miyagi Bomber and Dragon Bomber from Saturn Bomberman returns here. It included two modes, at the launcher window: UDP Auto - This mode helps the user to play the game without portforwarding, it is used for most users but if your connection is not fast, this setting will heavily lag the server, in a result of being kicked off the server; UDP On - This mode helps you to move smoothly (0% Lag), but there are few users with that setting, so you have to enter special rooms called "Only Ons", "Ons here", or anything with the word On's, The users with the option "UDP auto" will also see you like an Auto (a bit lagging), because they are not On's. | ||

This is a combination of Scrabble and Bejeweled, in which you create words by selecting letters from adjacent tiles. Completed words are converted to points and removed from the board. New tiles fall in from the top to fill in the empty tile positions. Watch out for fiery letter tiles that will burn through your other tiles one at a time. Creating longer words will stave off burning tiles and generate bonus tiles as well. Words containing bonus tiles are worth more points. The dictionary in this deluxe version is robust, containing over 150,000 words from three to twelve letters long. The Deluxe version adds an Action Game, new bonus gem tiles, automatic saved games, many word definitions, and a high score Hall of Fame maintained locally and, optionally, on the Internet. | ||

This is a puzzle game, where you must connect chain segments into chains. Once you start the game, the level is filled with chain segments from different colors, some are aligned horizontal, some are vertical. The playfield has always 100 chain segments (10 x 10 playfield) in it. When you now adjust at least three same colored adjacent segments in the same direction by rotating them, they will "explode", making space, you score, and the chain segments from above falling down filling the gap. And finally new chain segments are inserted at the top. The longest chain you can create is 5 segments long. In the Normal game mode, you job is to score a certain amount of points. If you can handle it, you proceed to the next level. If you fail (no possible chains left), it's game over. In Time Attack, you play not only against the score limit, but you also have just one minute time to complete a level. On your way through the levels in the game, you encounter many different special chain segments, some helping you, some hinder you. For example: Universal Link (can be used to combine different colored segments), Multiplier (2x and 5x; multiplying your score for the particularly chain), CHAINZ letters (collecting at least one of each in a single level will give you extra bonus points), Black Ring (works like any other segments, but it can't be rotated), and others... | ||

This is a single-player gem matching game that takes elements of standard tile matching games and combines it with a bit of Puzzle Bobble and a bit of Tetris. As with many tile/gem matching games the heart of Crystal Wizard is lining up three or more gems of the same colour. When this happens the gems disappear and points are scored. Any gems stacked above the gems that have disappeared will drop down to fill the vacated spaces and if they make combinations of three or more they too will disappear rewarding the player with 'chain bonuses'. What makes this game a bit different are the puzzle levels and game design. The basic game is straightforward enough, the player positions the wizards hand and releases the gem so that it falls to its brethren waiting below. However the play area is divided into two halves, the upper half which the player uses to direct the gem they are about to drop and the lower half where the stack of fallen gems resides. There is a floodline to this lower half and when the stack of fallen gems rises above this limit it's game over. As the player progresses positioning gems accurately becomes more difficult because pegs and ramps appear in the play area and obstruct the fall of the gem. This is where another of the game's feature comes into its own because, as well as just dropping gems into place, the player can also 'throw' then to bounce off the side walls. In addition to the standard game there are several bonus levels which are single level quick games. There is no save-game feature but the main game and the bonus levels all record the ten highest scores and there are multiple difficulty settings. | ||

This is a futuristic game, in which you zoom through huge, futuristic cyber cities skiding off buildings and ricocheting off I/O towers for big bonus. Shooting at digital binary streams, and blowing away I/O towers may be fun, but you'll need to go FAST to get to the finish line line before your time runs out. Going over speed pads is the only way to go, as they give you super speed boosts. Beware, however, there are just as many zero pads that'll slow you to a crawl. Oh, did I mension you'll also need to fly in this game? Hit the boost button, and you're off in the air, zooming, taking sharp turns around and through the cyber buildings... But beware, a small jerk of the mouse could mean the difference between skiding off a building for big bonus points, or crash and burn. | ||

This is a spelling game given a dungeon RPG theme. Players are given eight letter tiles to use to spell words that deal damage to the enemies they encounter in the dungeon. The bigger the word, the more damage that is dealt to the baddies. At the same time, the enemies are attacking the player, carving away at the player's health. If the player's health hits zero, they lose the game. The game features three difficulty settings, ranging from Kid to Normal to Wizard (Hard). The game features special tiles that appear occasionally that help players spell words. And there are enemies that are referred to as bosses. These bosses are slightly harder to defeat, requiring harder, longer words to deal higher damage. | ||

The event is being billed as the 'Brains in Bahrain'. "The human brain has the power to take on the computer. In this match, I will be fighting against the best chess-playing program on a brutally fast machine. This match will be a fight against the computer, the most significant technical development in history. It is also a battle between human creativity and monstrous calculating power. Deep Blue did not impress me that much. The fact that even a weaker program managed to beat Garry Kasparov tells us that the match in Bahrain will be a hard challenge for me." by Vladimir Kramnik.

| Goku Raku Jongg [J] | Enterbrain | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The pc version of this doujin game is rare, while a Ps2 version called Gokurakujongg premium also exists. It's a game in the "Raku Jongg" series and sequel to WonderSwan Color game Raku Jongg and was originally a budget PC title (originally released for 2800-2900 yen, roughly a little under $30 dollars) released in Japan that was primarily sold in Japanese convenience stores (7 Eleven, Family Mart, etc.) that didn't see much commercial success. It's a shame too, as the game is really fun and easily contends with some non-budget puzzle games. This game combines over-the-top visual elements (not state-of-the-art graphics, though they are pretty good) with a standard "drop-style" puzzler, Mahjongg, Slot Pachinko (Pachislo), and more. The game has your typical chains, but it also adheres to some of the rules found in Japanese Mahjong(g). More than simply forming chains, you should be mindful of what tiles you remove from the game, as they can be put into pairs and the like to perform "Rīchi" (Reach, or Ready Hand). In addition to simply performing rīchi, you get whisked away into a variety of short mini-games that can determine how many points you score, how many points you deduct from your opponent, ecetera. Unlike many drop puzzlers, the object isn't to outlast or attack out-right, but to have the most points at the end. Hitting the top puts you in "Danger" and can mess you up and waste valuable point-scoring time, but you can also be stopped completely if you continue to screw up, so it's in your best interest to focus on block elimination and pairs more than simply making chains, as the game has more tile types than standard drop puzzlers. Time can be extended or replenished if either player makes a rīchi within the normal time limit. To push the game's events along, you are met by funny characters and cute super-deformed girls. The main girl is Aria, also referred to as "Milk & Sugar". She's the one typically in red. Her rival is a blonde entertainer by the name of Suzume-Chan, also referred to as "Sparrow" (which is a reference to the bird, but also to the alternative chinese name of Mahjong, má què). Lastly, you have Chunchun-chan (or Chi Yunchun-chan) who is a cute character close to Suzume, and makes it easy to rīchi. Overall, this is a rather fun game that is a bit more complex than some and requires more luck than others. | ||

Golden Logres is another pinball simulator by LittleWing. A sequel to both Tristan and Crystal Caliburn, the game features three tables based on the Arthurian legends: Camelot, Land's End and Fisher King. After completing all the missions on one table, the game moves to the next one. A practice mode is available to test the last two tables and prepare to the full game. In Camelot, the first table, the objective is to complete all quests, each assigned to a different knight of the round table. The screen shows two medieval banners with the table sitting at the middle. The banners list the active quests, the score, the number of balls left and the status of the game. To start one of the adventures, the player must shoot ramps, sink the ball in holes or drop targets a number of times and then hit the Taliessin holder near the Merlin ramp. Taliessin was a court jester, musician and poet, and he assigns the quests to the knights. When an event occurs, like the end of a quest, a small window appears over the table with a picture and text explaining the situation. After all the quests are complete, the game moves to the next table after hitting the drop targets for the sloth, envy and lust sins, and sinking the ball in the quest hole. In the second table called Land's End, Lancelot, Tristan and Gawain, the three knights considered the bravest of them all, must prove their courage by undertaking the most dangerous quests. A multiball starts after completing each adventure. Tristan has to kill the dragon, by shooting its ramp and turning on all the lights that spell its name, then sink the ball in the medicine and "myst" hole. Lancelot must lift the curse that fell upon Dolorous Gard, his castle, by shooting the castle ramp and turning on "CASTLE", and receive a gift from the Lady of the Lake after dropping the ball in the magic shield hole. Gawain has to defeat the Green Knight by hitting the "ERRANTRY" ramp to turn on the letter lights, and collect a proof of bravery from Lady Bercilak by getting the ball inside the sash hole. When all the quests are complete, the game switches back to Camelot automatically. In the final Fisher King table, the ultimate goal is to collect the holy grail from the castle. The three guardians of the grail (Perceval, Bors, and Galahad) must acquire the holy relic and bring it back to Camelot. They receive the aid of other three fellow knights: Balin, Gareth and Palomides. Balin must get the Longinus spear that pierced Jesus on the cross, by turning on its name hitting the "LONGINUS" spot targets, and enter the castle at the top of the table. Gareth has to defeat the three evil knights, by sinking the ball in the challenge hole and dropping the red, blue and black targets, and finally send the ball to the castle to start a multiball. Palomides must kill Arthur's sin, that became a monster after his death, by shooting the beast lane turning on the "BEAST" lights, and sinking the ball in the castle. The grail knights retrieve the sacred cup by hitting the holy targets and the Perceval hole, both activated after colliding with bumpers named after each knight, turning on the "HOLY GRAIL" letters at the center. A multiball starts after entering the castle and receiving the grail. After all modes are finished, the game returns to Camelot. | ||

In the multimedia era, the human brain is still the most complex machine on our planet. The calculation of the IQ was invented in the first half of the twentieth century in order to detect the brain potential of different subjects. Initially hailed as a great step in the direction of the study on gray matter, it was subsequently considerably downsized to the advantage of electronic techniques (measuring the electromagnetic activity present on the cerebral cortex, etc ...). At the end of the 1950s the strong increase in demand for skilled workers, caused by the economic boom, led to a revaluation of the IQ in order to select personnel. Today we offer you a tool capable of preparing you optimally for the main psychological aptitude tests. The characteristic of this program consists in directly resuming medical tests or learning the reasoning techniques hidden in the form of mathematical questions and puzzles. What it can do: It stores an archive of all the people who have performed an intelligence test and immediately displays the various scores obtained in the relative tab; Performs various intelligence tests taking into account any pauses in the execution, manages the interruption of the test that can be resumed at another time and always with an eye to the stopwatch (30 min is the time available for a test); Determines the IQ and graphically represents it in capacity ranges. | ||

One of television's longest-running and best-respected game shows comes to next-generation computer gaming with this PC release of Jeopardy. Following the format of the TV show, up to three contestants compete by ringing in to give "questions" for the "answers" that appear on the game board. This version of the game features over 4,000 different answers. Included sample contestant exams allow gamers to see how they compare to real-life players on the show. True fans can also enjoy behind-the-scenes clips and interviews with (the recently de-moustachioed) Alex Trebek. | ||

This is a simple strategy game with strong similarities to the arcade game Cachat. The player must try to get the flame of a fuse from one side of the screen to the rocket (fireworks) on the other. Do this by rotating the tile pieces of the fuse to connect from one side to the other. There are three modes of gameplay. Classic: This is a timed game in which you have to launch a certain number of rockets in a set time. Arcade: This is a more fast paced game in which you have to "burn up" the fuses as they drop from the top of the screen by rotating them to connect one side to the other. If a column reaches the top you lose. Strategy: This mode is untimed and slow paced. Practice and get high scores by getting multiple rocket launches. You have a certain number of matches and have to get more by setting off three or more rockets to drop more matches, Then pick up matches by "burning up" the fuse tile it is on. When you run out of matches its game over. With all three modes you can get better scores with multiple rocket launches as well as better fireworks. Collect items on certain fuse tiles for bonuses like coins and gems. Coins are thrown out by the crowd watching your fireworks display and are used for upgrading your rockets for a better show. This game can be played on the web or can be purchased on cd-rom. | ||

The purpose of this game is for players to become 'Ichiumi' and become 'Yuibashi' heroines. However, I can not go so easily. Other players are also aiming at the heroine. (Well, it's natural because everyone is 'Ikumi'.) Well, who is the one who can finish the goal first? First, select whether to play the game on a single PC or play a network match. Play with one - Choose the color you want to play. Enter your name if necessary. When you press the "OK" button, the color not selected here becomes CPU operation and becomes map selection. Network match - Select whether you will be host or will already be connected to the match. When you select "become a host", the IP address will be displayed, so please tell the person who will connect from that number. Sorry to trouble you, but please do address notification by your own means. This software does not have the ability to send a message to the user before connecting in the game. You may need to set up your network to be a "host". If you select "Connect to host", please enter the correct address given by "Host". If you are successfully connected, you can exchange messages in the chat window. Chatting is always possible if you are connected to the host. Participation acceptance will end when 4 people connect including the host, or when the host goes to map selection. If the player's response is lost due to a disconnection during network play, the player becomes a CPU operation and the game continues. As you can not join the game on the way, please disconnect the disconnected player and wait for the next entry to reconnect. Map selection - If you choose your favorite map, the game is over. Let's become a heroine Torabura! While dating with a heroine on the map, please make good friends and take them home. If you go around the map one more time and return to the heroine, that player will win. First of all, let's date with the heroine to improve the positivity. The player follows the roulette and moves the map clockwise. If you pass through a square with a heroine, you can date with that heroine. During the date there is less mobility than usual. Sometimes it may be necessary to give up and move on. Let's raise the positivity of the heroine. Even if you can successfully get a heroine, the heroine's favorability is only "3". Let's walk and date the city together to get a good feeling. Depending on the size of the stopped mass, the favorability and money will increase or decrease. Naturally, if the heroine's favor becomes zero, the player is "shook" and the heroine returns to free status on the spot. If the player's money is negative, it will be shaken by the heroine on the spot. You should refrain from extra expenses. If you go home at a date with a heroine, you can choose to have the heroine answering. If you select "Answer" and go around the map, the player wins! It will be. The above is the rough flow of this game. | ||

This is a word puzzle game in which you have to connect letters to form words. You can select the letters from the board clicking on them or typing them with the keyboard. You'll get more points for longer words. You can choose to play in the Arcade mode or in the Puzzle mode. The Arcade Mode is timed and the letters will fall all the time, while in the Puzzle Mode the letters will fall only when you form a word. Once you finish forming a word, press the "Submit" button or the Enter key. If the program recognizes the word as valid, the "Submit" button will change its color. From time to time the program will suggest you a word in the upper right corner. If you succeed in forming it, you will be awarded with special points. The letters will constantly fall from the top of the board. As you form words, the letters will disappear from the board, and the existing letters will fill the empty spaces. You can use the "Zap" button when playing in the Arcade Mode to make disappear a row of letters. | ||

This is an Aztec-themed action puzzler. The goal: eliminate all the balls before they reach the skull. Balls roll down a track towards this skull and the player-controlled frog-shaped idol must shoot balls toward them to stop them, earning points. Using the mouse to rotate the frog and clicking to fire, the player needs to create rows of three or more of the same color balls to eliminate them. The catch is that each track is shaped differently. Part of the track may block others so that if the track is filled with balls, the ones behind some may be unreachable. Fortunately, the player has up to four lives, a rarity in many puzzle games. The game offers two different play modes: Adventure Mode - The player must battle through multiple temples to find the secrets of the Zuma. In this "campaign mode", temples that have been defeated may be skipped by the player when the player continues the game via save game. Gauntlet Mode - The player must work the player's level up from Rabbit to Sun God. Levels used in this mode must first be unlocked from the Adventure Mode. Gauntlet Mode also offers 4 (four) additional play modes: Random, Spesific, Practice, and Survival. The game was accused of plagiarizing Puzz Loop, an arcade game from 1998, but its addictive quality spawned many copies of its gameplay after the success of the game. | ||
