The license for this game was acquired from the German blockbuster movie comedy of the same title by a very popular German comedian called Michael "Bully" Herbig. The movie is parody on SF series/movies like Star Trek and Star Wars. The story of this point-and-click adventure is close to the movie's plot: the player consecutively takes over the roles of Captain Kork, Mr. Spuck and Schrotty and has to solve many riddles and tasks such as activating the spaceship's own musicbox so that the crew can practice for the "Miss Waikiki" dancing contest. The main story features some mini games like dancing. The characters are controlled by mouse only, using the left mouse button to move the character to the indicated places, start dialogues with other characters or use items. If an item or a person is clicked with the right mouse button, a context menu with the respective information appears. The actors have given the game characters their voices and have recorded over 1600 different spoken sequences. | ||

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

2004: Space Becherovka a Czech freeware point and click adventure game that was developed using Macromedia Flash. The story concerns Victor, a store keeper in the Becherovka factory, who quite by accident finds himself exploring the galaxy. He learns that many suns ago there was a fabulous drink called Blog's Gimelian Superblaster that is reputedly the best drink ever conceived. Unfortunately neither the drink, nor Blog, nor the planet Gimel exist. They were destroyed by the evil Daft Vapour, a semi-legitimate businessman and black marketeer. Legend has it that one day a stranger would appear with a drink that is even better than Blog's Gimelian Superblaster and that this hero would rid the galaxy of Daft Vapour. The player takes on the role of Viktor who is the sole human among a galaxy of aliens and who is, therefore, very strange and who just happens to have a bottle of Becherovka with him. Thus begins a humorous adventure containing spoofs on characters and places from many space / sci-fi films and television programs and in which the player will have to escape from prison, rescue a princess, sail on the Titanic, and duel with light sabres - though not necessarily in that particular order. The characters and the backgrounds are drawn in a cartoon style and the game is entirely controlled via the mouse. There is in-game music, which is optional, but no spoken dialogue. | ||

This free horror adventure takes place 400 years after 5 Days A Stranger. You play as Dr. Jonathan Somerset, a psychiatrist on a spaceship. One day, a strange artifact is found floating outside the ship's doors. When the crew brings it in, it appears to be a coffin with the remains of John DeFoe, which somehow floated out into deep space. At first the crew believes it's nothing, and leaves it lying around. But during the night, the ship's captain goes missing. And even stranger, the box is open, and nothing is inside. 7 Days contains fewer puzzles and more action elements than its predecessor, and is also made with the AGS engine. A special edition was later offered for $5 with new features such as: author commentary, original 'Birthday' easter egg, outtakes, in-game MIDI music, and a new 'early warning' system for the chase sequences. | ||

| Agon Episode 3: Pirates of Madagascar | Private Moon Studios | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
In the third in the episodic adventures from Hungarian developers available through online download for $10, each episode is a tightly focused, self-contained adventure with an emphasis on exploration and puzzles. Professor Samuel Hunt, the historian from the British Museum whose mission in 1903 is to track down twelve accursed games in an effort to unravel the sinister legend of the AGON. In Pirates of Madagascar, our returning middle-aged professor pulls ashore near a small fishing village. Believing the board game he seeks to be in the possession of the local chief, Hunt soon discovers that the game has long since been stolen by pirates and hidden somewhere in the jungle. Accused of being a (rather well-mannered and articulate) pirate himself, but without a map where X marks the spot, Hunt must decipher clues and solve a complex series of puzzles to locate the buried "treasure". The gameplay in Madagascar is also very solid, and easily improved over the last episode. There are more inventory puzzles in this installment, making for a better balance between practical solutions and abstract problem solving this time around. Several puzzles require piecing together clues from multiple sources, which proves challenging, but certainly fair. | ||

| Atlantis Evolution | Atlantis Interactive Entertainment / Adventure Company | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

This title is from a European developer formed by a lot of the people responsible for Cryo after that company went bankrupt. It's the first in what is to be a new series of games based on the fabled city. The story begins in 1904 with the hero, photographer Curtis Hewitt, returning home from a trip to Patagonia aboard an old wreck of a ship called the Lemuria. The ship goes down in a storm and Curtis survives in a lifeboat, only to be sucked down a whirlpool. What happens next has to be seen to be believed, but soon afterward Curtis ends up in "New Atlantis" and must find a way not only to get back home, but to free the Atlantean population from their terrible bloodthirsty "gods." The game has gorgeously beautiful graphics but the free flowing cutscene sequences are interrupted by 2D mini-game arcade sequences that are so vastly different from what we have been seeing that they are actually jolting in appearance. These mini-games include variations of Choplifter, Pong, Frogger, Hanoi Towers and others. The rationale behind including these mini-games is that they are always in the context of a machine that must be reprogrammed or defeated if the hero is to progress. It also has a jungle maze and timed section where you have to flee from guards while looking for items which can be frustrating. | ||

The Skunk-Ape got its name because of its horrible smell, described as a mixture of moldy cheese, rotten eggs, and dung.

In this free AGS made game, you play an obnoxious, sarcastic young man named Alexander Zale who works at the circus as an "elephant-feces removal operative." One day, his life takes a turn for the surreal when he is transported to another dimension by a disgruntled magician. Upon arrival, Zale decides he likes the look of this new world (which is a quaint, fantasyesque affair), and decides to set up his very own circus - the Cirque De Zale of the title. In the game, we play as Alexander as he struggles to find and acquire his circus, along with the requisite staff. The game shares a few similarities with the Monkey Island games, mainly the SCUMM-like interface and the excellent low-resolution graphics and there are also lots of animations. The game's strongest point is definitely its humour, which is sometimes subtle and occasionally laugh-out-loud hilarious. The conversations with the other characters are excellent, with Zale delivering some brilliant sarcastic put-downs. | ||

| Crimson Room, The | Toshimitsu Takagi / Fasco cs | [top] | |

This is a popular series of Flash point-and-click adventures inspired by the original "Escape The Room" game Mystery Of Time & Space. You are usually trapped in a locked room and must find how to escape by exploring the items in it and combining items to release other items and gathering any info so as to know what to do. They are modeled in 3D so that moving from one spot to another in the room has moving transitions. Each subsequent game in the series is longer than the previous so what at first was a short puzzle can take considerable effort to finish. In Crimson Room, the first puzzle, you're in a small room with nothing to do but explore by clicking. There is one point at which clicking fails you and you need to type something, but before that, it's all clicking — and timing is everything. In Viridian Room, the emphasis is not so much on escaping as solving the mystery of the room itself. The delightful "Engrish" opening sentences give way to a game that is both more difficult and more interesting than Crimson Room. If you restart the game you must get all needed information from scratch, because it changes every time you play. Clues collected once won't help if you start a new browser session. Blue Chamber seems the weakest of the set. With other puzzles one gets the sense of moving around a room, while in this puzzle it seems that you mostly stand in place, only turning to see all four walls. The standardized controls for shifting the view would be more welcome if the views were more worth shifting to. White Chamber is the trickiest yet. A knowledge of Morse Code might appear to be helpful at first, but in fact a complete alphabet is provided within the game, so all you really need is intense patience as you work through every letter until you get a match. | ||

| Dante's Inferno (cancelled) | Gorilla Systems Corporation / Atari Corporation | [top] | |

This is a horror-themed game for PC and Atari Jaguar CD, which was based on the first part of Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It was scheduled for a June 1996 release, but it was never released. In 2004, a tech demo of Dante's Inferno was released by the defunct Jaguar Sector II website under a CD-ROM compilation titled Jaguar Extremist Pack #1. The game uses the satirical idea of a tourist (with the usual Hawaiian shirt and camera) that accidentally travels to hell and needs to escape. Gameplay likely would have been something like Crash Bandicoot but with pre-rendered backgrounds. | ||

The story begins with the arrival of Parker, a young cartographer, in the Cornish harbor town of Trewarthen. Jagged rocks have claimed the lives of the town's fishermen for centuries, and Parker is sent to map the area. Upon his arrival, Parker encounters great hostility from the townspeople, especially when inquiring about Fetch Rock Lighthouse. As a deep fog rolls in, the faithful glow from the lighthouse suddenly goes out, leaving fishermen at sea in peril. When Parker sets out to solve the mystery, he uncovers a sinister secret. There's more than 50 realistic pre-rendered locations to explore, and spectral activity to observe and interact with. It's a spine-chilling ghost story with multiple sub-plots, atmospheric sound effects and original music. Explore the lighthouse in three different time settings. A Director's Cut Edition came out in 2009 which included many additional features such as new graphics and effects, new puzzles and an enhanced story, new spooks and thrills with more ghostly encounters, as well as new additional music and sound to bring the game world even more to life. | ||

Several megabytes containing slighty moronic, pseudo-philosophical texts, depressive moody graphics and an ambient melancholic music, an absurd story and primitive puzzles. All of this awaits you in this 1st person 2D adventure game. Just out of an asylum, where the player has been since his one true love was the victim of an apparent ritualistic murder, he only wants to drown out the pain with alcohol and morphine, and to exact justice for the memory of his girlfriend. In the process of this quest, he'll visit a number of (intentionally) bleak, dismal locations that are all realized in a striking visual style. It's created using the Wintermute Engine. The audiovisual aspect of the game is provided through a simple 3D art and an original ambient music created specifically for this game. This is a multilingual version which includes English, Czech, Italian and Russian translations. | ||

You don't remember who you are. You are lying on a smooth cold stone floor in a small unfurnished stone cell. You are carrying a quill pen, and a there's a gap in the stone in the east wall. This is an interactive fiction tutorial game. It's designed for people who have never played IF before. It introduces the common commands and mindset of text adventures, one step at a time. There's an extensive help system describing standard IF commands, as well as dynamic hints which pop up whenever you seem to be stuck. Of course, you can turn off the hints and the tutorials, and play The Dreamhold as a real game. The puzzles are not extremely difficult, but they should offer some challenge to both experienced players and newcomers. (If the challenge is insufficient, there's an "expert" mode which makes some of the puzzles harder.) There are also many optional bits to explore beyond the main storyline. The author tried to create a game which rewards many species of adventurer: the inexperienced newcomer, the puzzle-hurdler, the casual tourist, the meticulous explorer, the wild experimenter, the seeker after nuances and implications. | ||

This is a game inspired by the real School of Arts and Crafts in Toledo, but nevertheless the appearance of School of Art has been subtly modified (putting trees in different place, added or removed doors or modifying part of the aesthetics of the building, among other changes of various kinds). People swarming the halls of the School of Art is the vast invented part (specifically all students from 1st High School are invented), however there are certain characters based on students and real teachers met in the school. The story that unfolds in the game is purely fictional, and if something agrees with reality it's a happy coincidence. You assume the role of a student with the most ridiculous name, Willtif Smothson, a Spanish teenager (yes, Spanish, what happens is that their parents are American, hence the name) arriving late for class at the School of Art. Once in the school, you should skip classes for a just and necessary cause. Making an excursion into the mysterious underground catacombs of the Art School. | ||

This is an unfinished point-and-click adventure video game, intended to criticise the treatment of mandatorily detained asylum seekers in Australia as well as the Australian government's attempt to impose a media blackout on the detention centres. In the game, the player assumes the role of Mustafa, an Iranian asylum seeker being held at Woomera Immigration Reception and Processing Centre. Mustafa's request for asylum has been denied, and, fearing that he will be killed by the Iranian government upon his repatriation to Iran, he decides to attempt to escape Woomera. Mustafa must explore Woomera and speak with other individuals at the centre to devise and execute an escape plan. The game was developed in 2003 and 2004 by a team of Australian video game industry professionals and an investigative journalist, using Half-Life's GoldSrc engine. The developers received an AU $25,000 grant from the Australia Council to make the game, propelling the project to national attention, where the idea received a predominantly negative reception. The Australia Council's decision to fund the game drew condemnation from both Minister for Immigration Philip Ruddock and Australian Human Rights Commission leader Dr. Sev Ozdowski. Unable to secure further funding, a full game was never developed, and the playable prototype was made available free of charge online. | ||

This is the first in a series of point-and-click horror adventures made with Flash. You wake up in the woods with no memory of how you got there. Nightmares of blood and screams still echo through your mind. It's late and it's cold - unless you can find shelter fast, you won't last the night. You spot a house in a clearing up ahead and left with no choice - you decide to shelter there for the night. Soon after, you begin to realise that death is a welcome choice compared to what lies waiting for you inside. This was the author's first Flash game, having only taught himself flash only a year previously. He wanted to create an atmospheric game with decent graphics as he had played so many flash games that kick ass with puzzles, but never pay attention to graphics and atmosphere. Unfortunately it was a situation where he had to make up the story as he went along creating it - so bits and pieces are kind of patched together here and there. Its intent is to scare the living hell out of everyone. So play this in a dark room with the sound turned up for maximum scare-factor! | ||

This is an educational, Finnish only, quiz based adventure game. What if you could get adventure in an old mansion ... there are flying objects and strange creatures that should not be on the earth. The game is full of details that do not normally show up in games. The phone rings, and even toilet paper can be found in a briefcase of money to help players sometimes. It has a sweet three-dimensional environment in which you are free to move, but ... the word is now mightier than the sword. Whenever a problem arises, you will have to answer questions. But the game is of course not only a quiz, but you need to use manual dexterity and your perception. It comes with 2000 questions in different fields: music, movies, science, geography, history, general knowledge, sports, astronomy, art and culture. You can write more questions: a word processing program allows you to write 20, 50 or even 100 new questions in a specific field. The environment reacts to the passage of time and the variation of light: the sun rises, moves around the sky, and finally falls to the west. At night, the moon and the stars are moving in rotation and constellations are correct (a total of 6000 stars are visible). You can also add your own creations for the game among the characters. Is one modeled on the school principal or the infamous dictator? Recreate even Madame Tussaud's Wax Cabinet of characters and move them to the game. Also new to the game on the internet you will find the suitable creatures and objects. | ||

Haunted House is a fanmade remake of the Atari 2600 title of the same name. Your job is to collect a secret urn from the haunted house of Zacharey Graves. The house consists of 24 rooms, spanning 4 floors. Each room is completely dark, but an unlimited amount of matches has been provided. The main character, which was nothing but a pair of eyes in the original, has been replaced with a male protagonist. He has a scare meter which is filled with frights upon touching enemies such as ghosts, giant spiders and bats. A total of nine scares is fatal. Using a top-down view, you can only see a limited area as you move about. While collecting pieces of the urn, placed at random locations each game, you can use a scepter to become invisible and a key to open locked doors, but it is not possible to carry more than one item at a time. A new addition in this 2004 version are light switches. These can be used to lighten up the rooms completely, but fans of the original can disable this feature. The final score is based on the amount of matches used, the number of scares and the gameplay time. | ||

A hacker prowling around different secured areas and accessing encrypted memory banks in the atmospheric confines of a space station, gradually getting up to speed with the rich backstory from the log entries of disappeared crew members recounting the ongoing development of an uncooperative military artificial intelligence (the ASD Project of the SGDS - Sentient Global Defense System)... playing this game, you could be forgiven for mistakenly believing you were in a missing chapter from the System Shock series. Unlike its spiritual predecessors, however, this game features no combat or RPG elements -- instead it is a game of narrative exploration from the perspective of a Mystian 1st-person adventurer. As the player learns more about Dr. Leonard Eaves' principled opposition to the Crusade Project, storywise it also delivers a more philosophical and nuanced take on the hackneyed dark-SF subject matter, perhaps closer to the work of interactive fiction A Mind Forever Voyaging. It is more than a little mysterious. Where exactly is everybody, exactly? And what role does the player occupy in this allegorical setting, precisely? The game isn't going to spell it out for you; instead, between rummaging through refuse for passwords and 23-bit encryption keys, it'll make you reflect a bit on the true nature of intelligence and consciousness. | ||

An ex-cop and now fledgling P.I., Ren Silver has set up shop in an old warehouse. Her cases haven't been much to speak of (finding lost pets, unfaithful spouses etc.), until now. While vacationing on the planet Mars, Ren unwittingly becomes involved in a "legacy" of deception and a "dark" quest for intergalactic domination. You'll play Ren in 3rd person perspective as she meets over 25 speaking characters and explores locations on Earth and beyond. Find and use over 80 objects and solve adventure-type puzzles as you explore. The seeds of the story begin in 1930 with the creation of a cell regeneration substance developed by Japanese scientists. Early research is only partially successful - none of the human subjects lived past 10 days. A decade later the solution and all research documents are shipped by plane to Germany's Institute of Hereditary Biology for further development and hopeful completion. On its way, the plane crashes and the wreckage is found by photo-journalist Jevgenij Borisov in the Stalingrad war zone. It will take him over 35 years to completely understand and finish the serum. Jevgenij injects it into himself and becomes immortal. As the years pass, he becomes very rich and extremely powerful. The year 2100 finds him utterly unsatisfied with the workings of the world and his despicable plot begins. Will Ren be able to stop him? | ||

Larry Lovage learned everything he knows from his uncle, Larry Laffer, the famous polyester-clad fellow who starred in the previous games. Young Larry finally makes it to college, the best place to meet and pick up girls. He finds them everywhere... in restaurants, night clubs, dormitories and at fraternity parties. All those scantilly clad, gorgeous babes! But, does Larry have half a chance to score with even one of them? Will he get a peek at what's underneath that braless, too-tight tank top? Larry's sexcapades include varied types of arcade mini-games. Some simply require good reflexes while others involve memory and/or correct timing. For instance, steer a little joker sperm through an obstacle course of flying objects, all the while trying to keep the "course" of the conversation on track. Or .. put the correct ingredients into a bar drink in order - and in the time allowed. Several of the games become more difficult as the game progresses. This action/adventure features three endings, over 20 locations, 3D graphics, and hilarious adult situations and conversations. Fans were disappointed in the lack of adventure elements and the absence any input and humor from the series creator, Al Lowe. A totally uncensored version was released a few months after the original release. Several of the girls appear naked and there are secret tokens found throughout the game which unlock even more "interesting" mini-games, loading screens and nude models if the player visits the right shop in-game. | ||

Fans follow the Baudelaire orphans as their luck goes from awfully bad to incredibly worse. Based on the popular book series and the movie starring Jim Carrey, this treacherous tale allows players to experience the eccentric adventures of Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire. Gameplay combines the unique talents of all three orphans to keep them one step ahead of their distant uncle, the evil Count Olaf, who'll stop at nothing to get his greedy hands on their family fortune. The player can switch between the three Baudelaire orphans throughout the game, playing as Violet the inventor, Klaus the brave intellect, or as Sunny, the biting baby. Some missions are designed to take advantage of a specific character's abilities. The orphans will gather objects throughout the adventure to build ingenious inventions for solving tricky puzzles or for fending off Olaf's creepy cohorts. Inventions exclusive to the PC version include the Reptile Retriever, which helps the orphans trap reptiles in a burlap bag, the Smasher, which is a spring-loaded kicking boot, and the Lever Yanker, used to activate levers that are out of the orphans' reach. Violet will use her Stable Stilts to maneuver through toxic goop, Klaus will use his Grappling Hook to reach higher heights, and the orphans will take turns using the Lobber and other inventions to stun enemies and escape dangerous situations. Defeat Count Olaf and his wicked henchmen who assume many disguises in their never-ending pursuit of the Baudelaire orphans and their family fortune. Players will engage in over 25 different missions based on the adventures from the movie and the first three books; exploring Count Olaf's mysterious mansion, navigating Uncle Monty's intricate hedge maze and racing from Aunt Josephine's rickety house before it plummets into Lake Lachrymose. | ||

This game is much like its predecessor, Tres Lunas, but it's bigger; grander in scope. Maestro begins aboard a giant starship called the Virtual Voyager. Within this starship there are many rooms or compartments, connected by corridors and tubes. Some of these lead to portals that take you to areas entirely outside of the starship altogether. Hiding somewhere in this world are four alien beings known as the Gravitars. Your goal is to find them and bring them back to the Gravitar Pen, somewhere within the Virtual Voyager. To accomplish this, however, you will need to learn the art of play. Like Tres Lunas, Maestro is open-ended in its design. Different people will enjoy it in different ways. Some will compete. Some will treat it like a psychedelic chat room. Some will simply wander about, enjoying the various sights and sounds. | ||

| Nancy Drew 10: The Secret of Shadow Ranch | Her Interactive | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
An interactive mystery-adventure game, this puts players in the shoes of teenage super-sleuth Nancy Drew as she investigates a string of mysterious events at a southwestern ranch. The game is based on the 1931 novel, The Secret of Shadow Ranch. The book is the best- selling Nancy Drew title of all time and the first of the original "yellow-spine" series to be turned into an interactive game. Nancy Drew sets out to enjoy a long overdue vacation at Shadow Ranch in Arizona, but upon arrival she quickly finds herself involved in a baffling mystery. The ranch has been maliciously damaged and is being haunted by a phantom horse. The local townspeople believe the ghostly animal is carrying out the curse of Dirk Valentine, a romantic outlaw who was hanged for his crimes before he could fulfill a promise to his sweetheart. Based on a rumor that a treasure was hidden on the grounds by Valentine, Nancy turns her focus to that critical clue as she embarks on a challenging search for answers through a land full of rattlesnakes, hidden mineshafts and crumbling ghost towns. There's 20+ hours of sleuthing in expansive outdoor environments with the ability to saddle up and ride a horse, and go barrel-racing. You have the use of an in-game cell phone, Internet access, and email. A "Second Chance" feature allows players to take risks without starting over. Optional Phone-a-friend hints are designed to help struggling detectives navigate the game. Two difficulty settings allows players of all skill levels to solve the mystery. | ||

| Necrotic Drift | Jolt Country | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Necrotic Drift is a fun graphical "survival horror text adventure" that plays like a modern cross between From Dusk Till Dawn and Underworld movies. Like Sherwin's previous game Fallacy of Dawn, the game is set in New Haz, a fictional-yet-familiar city in modern day New Jersey. You play Jarret Duffy, a 20-something geek who works at Benji's Gaming and Role-Gaming Emporium as assistant manager. The game begins on an ordinary night, with you and your roommates trying to decide which DVDs to rent for the evening. Not soon after, all hell breaks loose with various undeads that look like they come out of the latest AD&D rulebook. Like Fallacy of Dawn but even more successfully, Necrotic Drift is oozing to the brim with atmosphere. Well-written dialogues and descriptions let you know Jarret, his friends, and his world inside out like few other text adventures could. Most game fans will have a blast playing this game just to spot the numerous references to tabletop RPGs, computer games, and comics. What makes the game even more fun is the fact that the zombies, lichs, and other undeads in this game actually CAN be defeated by means described in TSR's D&D rules! While the clues are sufficient, die-hard pen & paper RPG fans will know almost instinctively what they need to defeat the monsters. Most puzzles are basic and simple - you just need to whack the monsters with the right weapon in the first few stages of the game to kill them. These puzzles are made even simpler by the game's extreme linearity: most times you have only one objective to focus on (usually of the "defeat this wandering undead" nature) and few areas to explore. On the other hand, easy puzzles mean you will not get stuck so often, which means the plot will unfold much faster - making the game an even better approximation of survival horror movies in which events happen in the space of few seconds. The last few puzzles in the game are more intricate and complex, but text adventure experts will have no problem overall with the game. The game makes good use of graphics and sounds. Every location, monster, and NPC is depicted in photorealistic pictures, and some sounds really make you jump out of your seat (it's almost as scary as The Lurking Horror). In March/2013, an updated “Deluxe” version was released as part of the pay-what-you-want Cerebral Bundle. | ||

This time it's up to you to discover who knocked off a local seafood salesman and get to the bottom of a diabolical counterfeiting operation.

In Sep/2020, A Case of the Crabs: Rehash, a commercial remake was released with: updated 3D Black & White “film noir” aesthetic; fully re-recorded dialog by the original cast; SOME updated jokes. | ||

This is a series of five episodic point-and-click adventures. Aimed at a slightly younger audience, each installment is a short, colorfully drawn game where you must try and help the young Victor vanquish his nightmares. The catch is that you only have a limited number of moves to win each episode, putting just a little pressure on your puzzle solving skills. Navigation is easy, simply click the puffy arrows to visit different locations on each screen. Items usually look a little brighter than their surroundings, making them easy to spot and nab. Figuring out how to use them and in what situations is where the challenge dwells, and with the constant reminder that Victor's nightmare is closing in, you don't have time to dawdle. Because the games are aimed at kids, they won't pose much of a challenge to seasoned point-and-click adventurers. There's even an in-game hint system that all but spells out exactly what you should do. But the top-notch visuals, great voice acting, genuinely spooky atmosphere, and lack of pixel hunting make them entertaining for just about anyone. | ||

| No-Action Jackson | cerebrit (Britton O'Toole) | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
A freeware masterpiece that no adventure gamer should ignore, this is a superb point-and-click freeware adventure game that could have been packaged in a box, stamped with LucasArts' logo and put on retail shelves. Yes, the game is THAT good. For starters, the game puts you in a role that most of us are familiar with, although strangely enough has not been used in many games: you play a young geek named Jackson who must escape his house to join a fun D&D gaming session with his friends at a local comic book/game store. The first thing you will notice about the game is how good the graphics are. Similar to Day of the Tentacle, excellent hand-drawn VGA graphics that are chock full of detail in every scene fully brings Jackson's world to life. And they are not just pretty scenery, either: have fun clicking LOOK on various items in Jackson's room just to read funny, item-specific descriptions that are many notches better than the "you see nothing special" response you get in a typical adventure game. Everything in this game screams "labor of love" - the designer anticipates a lot of verb+object possibilities, and builds in clever retorts in response. There are also many sound effects to add to the atmosphere. The puzzles are quite fun to solve, and a few are even quite memorable for their ingenuity. In the best LucasArts decision, the most challenging puzzles in the game require you to pay close attention to the scene, observe how NPCs behave, and use the right object(s) at the right time. There is some pixel-hunting (especially clicking on the right TV cable), but fortunately the crosshairs-shaped cursor makes it possible to click on the exact pixel you want. To round things off, both the plot and pacing are also very well-designed: the game is split into a few short "episodes," each of which is introduced by a short cut-scene. Your goal in the first portion of the game is to get out of the house, so you are limited to using objects in various rooms. After your successful escape, the game 'opens up' considerably with many more areas to explore, and even a bit of non-linearity (i.e. you can choose which friend to 'rescue' first). It's very funny, very professional-looking, and even has challenging puzzles to boot. | ||

| Noah's Adventures | Cougar Interactive | [top] | |

This, as the name implies, is a game based on the Noah's Ark biblical story. It is comprised by three games. Hide and Seek: in this game, Noah has to find 10 missing creatures inside a biblically scaled Ark. God Himself will tell Noah which animals to find. Hints about the animals' locations will be given by Noah's sons, Shem, Ham and Japhet. Animal Adventure: in this game, the animals will ask Noah for items which they'll need for the 40 days flood trip (like oranges, soccer balls, cowboy hats, fire extinguishers, horse shoes, etc.). Once Noah gives them the items, they'll go to the Ark. Animal Quiz: in this quiz game the player has to answer questions about the animals in the Ark. The game also features a video depicting the biblical story and remixed versions of religious songs as "Amazing Grace". The game was later made freeware. | ||

This is one of the only video games made for the series that was a visual novel, rather than an educational game. In this VN you have to make different decisions that will mold your relationship with all the Ojamajos. Depending on what you do, you will manage to get to different scenarios and occurrences, and various endings too. Majorhythm is a young witch that lives in the Witch World. She's madly clumsy, and her workmates are always mean to her because she can't do her job properly, and they say bad thing about her behind her back. One day, the Queen gives her an errand; she has to deliver a letter to Majorika. She goes to the Human World, but she quickly gets lost. Feeling defeated, she sits down on a swing in a park, where she meets and befriends Doremi. Thanks to Doremi, she manages to get to the MAHO-Do. There, she meets the rest of the girls, and after waiting outside the store for a while because Doremi had forgotten the keys, they end up reading the letter, since it was actually adressed to "Everyone at the MAHO-Do". The card reveals that the Queen would like the girls to let Majorythym stay with them for 8 days, so that they can teach her how to do her job properly. | ||

| Oscar The Balloonist Discovers Africa: The Savannah | Tivola | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Balthasar Pumpernickel is a big aficionado of things in Africa, or at least he believes that. Because when he shows Oscar his slideshow and claims that crocodiles live on trees and elephants are dangerous carnivores, Oscar is startled. Somehow it all seems a bit strange, and so he decides to travel to the savannah himself and to meet the animals once in person. It quickly turns out that after so many Oscar adventures, Balthasar still has no idea about the wildlife. Oscar visits lions and baboons, elephants, crocodiles and many other animals and learns a lot about the ways of life of the animals. Pavel Pavian, for example, tells of his big family with innumerable aunts and cousins. When Oscar asks him about the nest and the eggs, the baboons according to Balthasar's descriptions, Pavel must laugh. Baboons are mammals and do not lay eggs. And Elli, the elephant cow, explains to Oscar why elephants wash themselves with mud and that they can use their big ears as fans on hot days. To get to the various games, Oscar must know if the three claims the animals make are right or wrong. If he has previously looked around the animals and talked to them, it is no problem to know the correct answer and unlock the game. For example, he plays with the elephants or plays with the monkey "louse the baboon" and frees the monkey from all lice. | ||

| Other Worlds | Alkis Polyrakis | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
One of the longest freeware adventure games ever made, Other Worlds is a fun point-and-click adventure from Greece that boasts a sprawling gameworld, captivating plot, solid writing (inspired by Stephen King's Dark Tower series to boot), hundreds of mostly-logical puzzles, and interesting NPCs. You play Natalia, a 27 year-old woman who comes home one day to find that her boyfriend Alkis has gone missing. After discovering a strange message, you will shortly find out there are other worlds than ours, and traversing those 'parallel universes' is imperative to finding Alkis again. At first glance, the game looks very amateurish - largely thanks to garish graphics that don't mesh together very well. It is probably one of the best, if not the best, adventures of 2004 – and that includes both Independent and commercial - and its minor flaws do not take away anything from the overall impact. It is an adventure that has all it takes to become a classic. No, you will not find breathtaking graphics, lip-synced speech or quadraphonic music performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. What you will find is a fantastic story that will unfold before you minute by minute with enough twists and turns to keep your interest peaked at all time; characters that seem so real that you will become attached to them and will not forget them for a long, long time (if ever!); and very clever and balanced puzzles to keep your brain churning full speed ahead. And all that garnished with a great deal of humor, that will have you rolling on the floor laughing – that is, if you can appreciate good humor. In other words, a model adventure game, created by an adventurer for adventurers. | ||

| Peasant's Quest | Mike Chapman & Matt Chapman | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Peasant's Quest is a humorous, hugely entertaining 2D adventure that plays like Sierra's classic King's Quest games. Here is the official plot: "A real long time ago, in the peasant kingdom of Peasantry, some people lived... in fear. You are Rather Dashing, (a peasant wearing short pants) who returns from a vacation to find his thatched cottage.....BURNINATED! You set out on a quest to get revenge on Trogdor once and for all. So will he make it, staying alive, and protecting this peasant kingdom from burnination? YOU decide!!!" The game was clearly designed as a parody of Sierra's King's Quest games, and there is plenty of jokes to put a smile on your face. It not only looks like an early King's Quest title, but it also plays like one (although to its credit, the puzzles are far better.... in a weird, warped-logic way). You type commands like TALK MAN or LOOK ROCK on the text parser at the bottom of the screen, while moving your protagonist around with the arrow keys. Although the game is rather short, it does feature more than a handful of clever puzzles (including some that are quite cruel but funny in a black-humor way), and a pretty good parser that was coded from the ground up in Macromedia's Flash. You can also save your game in progress (browser cookies must be enabled), see where you are on the in-game map (once you find it), and read funny descriptions of inventory items. Memorable characters, fun puzzles, and solid coding make Peasant's Quest one of the best freeware adventure games in recent years, its short length - I finished the game in about 45 minutes - notwithstanding. | ||

Vasilij Ivanovich Chapaev, the brave Red Army officer during the Russian Civil War of 1918 in reality, and a low-level drunk idiot in the game series (as well as in countless jokes very popular in ex-Soviet Union), is back for another adventure starring himself and his titular side-kick, the boy Petka. This time, the two unlikely heroes are being used as pawns in a grand scheme by a mysterious mastermind named Kotovsky and his even more mysterious "behind-the-scenes" boss, who want to change the political face of Russia forever. Will Petka and his mentor be able to thwart the danger and save their homeland once again? Not much has changed in this installment; as all the previous games in the series, Konec Igry ("End of the Game") is a traditional point-and-click adventure game, with 2D cartoon-like character graphics and backgrounds. The gameplay mostly revolves around talking to characters, gathering information, and solving puzzles mostly through manipulation of inventory items. | ||

This sequel to the first Russian adventure is alive with great "cartoon" graphics and a good puzzle game. We will once again meet with the famous Pilot Brothers. The restless detectives and adventurers, the Pilot Brothers, learned from the newspapers that on the remote island of Tasmania there's a rapidly decreasing population of a blue-striped elephant. Knowing that Tasmania is the only place on earth where there are these rare animals, they decide to go on a long journey and find out the spot. Arriving, the detectives saw everything that happens with the elephants - something is catching the striped blue giants, luring them into a distant dark cave. What to do? Of course, you must save them! In May/2014, an English app version was released on Windows 8 store and later on Steam but it only contains 14 of the 23 levels from original game. | ||

This series of two games are free AGS adventures. Volume 1 - You play as Rogata (Rogi for short), a young taxidermist who dabbles in the dark arts. She's fed up with the daily grind and decides to set off on a mission to find her idol (and it ain't Clay Aiken). She sets off on a journey to find Babayaga: the world's most evil witch. Volume 2: Misery Loves Company (released 2007) Taxidermist Rogata continues her journey away from boredom searching for the evil witch Babayaga who can further teach her dark arts. The story picks up after Rogi has fallen through a hole in the earth. As the story continues, she meets strange creatures and even a potential love interest. Just like the first game, it is entirely mouse-controlled. The right mouse button is used to switch between actions icon (examine, pick up, use, talk), while the left mouse button executes the selection function. Rogi can explore different environments to talk to other characters. Music was not included in the initial release of the game, but added afterwards. | ||

| Project Xenophobe | Sektor 13 | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
You play a soldier sent by the military to investigate mysterious happenings at an isolated military base. The game is made with AGS (Adventure Game Studio) and riddled with many grammatical errors, typos, and awkward sentences - mainly because the author is not a native English speaker. But the rest of the game is so well put together that you will be willing to forgive this otherwise-crucial aspect of adventure games. Besides, the typos and grammatical errors are not so severe as to frustrate you - they are just annoying to observe. The puzzles, plot development, and graphics in Project Xenophobe are all excellent, even if some puzzles are too easy or mundane. The game builds up the excitement very well - so well, in fact, that you will be pleasantly surprised by either of the two endings in the game, both of which are appropriately climactic. Add to this atmospheric music (largely from Vangelis' 1492 album), minimal but effective sound effects, and some neat plot twists, Project Xenophobe is well worth playing, and comes recommended to every adventure gamer who is willing to forgive poor grammar in well-designed games. | ||

As expected, this absorbs all the best from the previous section, and it means that we will again have to deal with the bad guys, to play a huge amount of gambling ( slot machines, card games, etc.), and of course, get a prize in a billiards competition. It features an exciting, stressful and at the same time humorous plot, qualitatively rendered animated graphics in 800x600 24-bit color, original, sometimes satirical music in the format of an Audio CD. It has lots of characters known from movies and TV, and is recommended for players 16 years and older. | ||

This free adventure, Sigma, reminds of Cryo's Atlantis in many ways, including the interface and gameplay style. The story is very vague at first, and actually it stays that way all the time. It has only one goal: to keep the player in uncertainity, to give him minimum of information, and to keep him tense so that he has the right motivation for solving mechanical puzzles. At first you don't even know who the main character is, so you have no choice but to start exploring the strange bunker and rooms you're trapped in. The initial explorations will reveal several messages, strange rooms with levers and switches and above all - a movable cube with four difficult puzzles, which make the real frame of the game. Sigma doesn't contain any dialogues or any significant item interaction, so it could be compared to 7th Guest or newer Schizm, where the progress is bound to logical puzzles. That means it's basically a logical game spiced up by a few adventure game elements. The puzzles are well thought out (even though the well known one with eight queens on the chessboard probably won't impress anyone anymore) and fun. Besides, for a freeware game Sigma can offer a luxurious art, which would leave the authors of the first multimedia projects like Rama, 7th Guest, 9 or Lighthouse green with envy. The rooms are not numerous, that's true, but they look really great and all the objects can be zoomed in and examined in detail. Unfortunately the controls are not very good. The game uses the Omni 3D principle, i.e. a free look, but the movement is only limited to several fixed points so it can be hard to navigate even in a simple room. Sigma also has a pleasant ambient music, which fits the quiet and chilling atmosphere and helps to build the tension. In any way the adventure game lovers will pe pleased with this truly outstanding project. | ||

Steer Madness is like the animal activist version of Grand Theft Auto. Cruising on your environmentally friendly bicycle to the accompaniment of a driving rock soundtrack, you, Bryce the Steer, race to complete timed missions of breaking-and-entering, theft, and sabotage in an attempt to force your city to go vegan and animal-friendly. Framing the missions is a poignant, if somewhat sparse, story about your escape from a slaughter-house bound truck and adaptation to life as a free animal, and growth and then sad ending of your friendship with the vegan girl who took you in. A 3D action-adventure game with a veggie agenda in which you play a cow and save the environment and other animal friends. Players explore the world in-between completing 'animal friendly' missions, such as freeing animals from a cosmetics lab. The game offers an alternative to the violent and anti-social behaviour found in many games. Players can't shoot or kill, are unable to die, and can only move around the world using environmentally friendly transport such as bicycles and an electric powered sports car. The game also features a cinematic introduction, and a soundtrack featuring independent musicians such as Hector and The Winks. | ||

Symphonic Rain is a Japanese musical visual novel developed by Kogado Studio and first released as a limited edition version on March 26, 2004 for the PC platform as part of a series of "music adventure" games done by its Kuroneko-san Team. Symphonic Rain takes place in a fictional city of apparently Italian heritage, where rain falls everyday. The locals there have adapted to this peculiar phenomenon, and carry on with their lives as if the rain was never there. No one takes an umbrella, no one wears a rain coat. The main character of the story is 17 year old Chris, a Fortelle student of the famous Piova Communal School of Music (Scuola Comunale di Musica Piova, in Italian). Separated from his childhood sweetheart Arietta when he left his home town for the city, he keeps in touch with her through the means of weekly letters. Penning their thoughts on those letters, Chris treasures and keeps her weekly writings, for he had promised her that should his drawer become totally filled with them, he would return to her. The game starts during Chris's third year as a student, a few months before he has to take the school's final graduation examination: a staged performance. As an instrumentalist, he is required to search for a vocalist partner before he is eligible for the examination.Beside the adventure parts that makes most of the game, Symphonic Rain includes musical sequences. In which the player is required to press keys on the keyboard in correct timing to accompany the current song. These sequences can be turned to automatic if the player doesn't wish to participate. An English release came out in 2017. | ||

| Telephone, The / AOOA | Michael Clague | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This stylish and unusual game was created as a university project. In it you embark on an adventure by dialing in destinations. The destinations are 3-digit telephone numbers that you find in each 'level' that take you to the next. Each destination is unique in its objective, sound, and interface. For example, one destination requires you to win a game of rock-paper-scissors 3-times to advance to the next. It's a very simple premise for a game; one that allows for a free-form expression of creativity and art. It's somewhere in between an escape-the-room puzzle and a webtoy. It provides some unique and different puzzles. As with most interactive art pieces, discovering the rules oneself is the whole point of the game. Beginning with nothing in front of you save an old rotary telephone, you are asked to call into hidden worlds, each world providing you with a new telephone number - a new world to call. While some of the puzzles are easier (the right word might be "straightforward", as the easiest puzzle is also entirely luck based) than others, all of them are doable with a little clicking and a little patience. The most interesting aspect is that, while the game has a linear progression, if one knows a number (or tries random ones) they can skip over worlds to a section they like, or do any of the worlds in any order. The art itself is the best part of the game. From paper cutouts, to photographs, to brush paintings, each world has it's own unique style. | ||

Their current case is to locate a mysterious crystal. The price of failure? Only the end of the world. Timothy Walters has the special power of levitation. Tim acts like an older brother to his sister Tiffany, despite the fact that he was born three minutes after her. He is strangely overprotective of her, and is constantly making sure that she's okay. He is very moody, often depressed, and looks at the world through jaded, cynical eyes. His one joy comes from listening to rock music. He is particularly fond of KISS; he has all their CDs and has even met some of the members. Tiffany Walters has the special power of talking to animals. Tiffany is cheerful, happy-go-lucky and childish. Not only is the glass constantly half full for her, but it's also pink with smiley faces drawn on it. She is obsessed with stuffed animals, of which she has many, and believes that she can always get her way by saying "Please!" often enough. Tiffany is always trying to get her brother Tim to have fun, which usually consists of a game of Candy-Land. Using a classic click-and-point interface, both Tim and Tiffany can be guided. The bottom right corner holds their portraits where they can be selected individually. Tim has the ability to float and Tiffany talks with animals, two important powers needed to solve the puzzles. Visiting locations such as a mansion, a cave, a store, a farm and the home office, the two need to combine items, examine the environment and talk to other characters to discover the crystal's location, which ultimately leads to a more sinister plot. | ||

| Unshadowed | P. J. Richmond | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a free action-adventure made with Game Maker from amateur developer P. J. Richmond. The game makes up for its amateurish (and probably too cartoonish, given the subject matter) graphics with excellent puzzles that adventure fans will enjoy. The action is also not too frustratingly difficult, although you do have to be good at aiming the mouse. The story involves Wade, who unwittingly finds himself in pursuit of a mysterious villain named Redlaw through the game's eight chapters. As he goes, he learns more about his family's involvement in the struggle between the power of light he wields and the darkness his enemy uses against him. The author describes the gameplay in Unshadowed as a "mix of shooting and puzzle solving." This is a fair summary, as you find yourself about half the time fighting enemies large and small in action sequences, and the other half solving the game's many puzzles. You move using the arrow keys and use the mouse to aim your attacks and use the other magical abilities that you gain from time to time. The game's graphics are all original and quite varied. It becomes obvious early on for this and other reasons that a lot of work went into Unshadowed. The graphical style sort of reminds me of things someone might draw in a notebook in school--rough at times, but colorful, detailed, and effective at making the game's world believable. This is also supported by well-placed music and sounds. Back to the puzzles, this is a high point in the game. None are all that difficult, but there are many and each is unique and integrated very well with the areas. The abilities you gain as you progress not only aid you in battle but become an essential part of the puzzles. It has rough edges in places and room for improvement, but it consistently presents you with fun and varied situations to the end. | ||

This is a quest game built on the basis of superposition of real video and 3d-modelled surroundings. As the game is based on the Gogol's story 'Vij', the complications coincide with this work almost completely, with the only exception of the possibility for the player to try and save Homa Brut from his death, which seems inevitable. However, the player should remember, that the most of his attempts to change anything might also lead to the character's death. There's quite a range of original logic and arcade minigames. The player is easily plunged into the world that depicts the real world of the 18th century Malorossia. The player no more 'works' inside the game, carefully rummaging around the locations, afraid to skip something important; he or she lives in the world presented, doing the things he or she wants. | ||

The year is 50 BC. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely
...One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. Among
these resolute Gauls are our two heroes: Asterix and Obelix. One day, while they are
out hunting, Caesar's troops take advantage of their absence and capture the other
villagers. Even worse, the invaders also seize the druid Getafix, along with the magic
strength potion he was brewing! Caesar leaves nothing to chance. The Gaulish
prisoners are triple-locked to carts, each closely guarded by a whole legion of Romans.
The carts are taken to the farthest corners of the Roman Empire while the cauldron of
potion is on its way to Rome. When they return to their village, Asterix and Obelix
quickly figure out what has happened and immediately search for their friends. So
begins an adventure of historic proportions. Players can interchange between both
Asterix & Obelix, and even send Dogmatix into battle to chomp on an enemy Roman.
Use powerful combinations and attack moves to acquire: twister fusion, power hammer,
earthquake, atomic magic potion, plus 10 special attacks. It's an extra-large
adventure: fight up to 70 Roman soldiers in a single battle, face up to 20 types of
enemies and explore 47 sites across 6 different countries. The amazing graphics have
upgraded characters, photo-realistic backgrounds, special effects and hilarious
animations.

After the death of Lord North Vandernot of Ravencourt Castle, a young American girl named May Vandernot was left his entire estate. Jealousy brewed within the household and May feels that someone is trying to kill her. Upon hearing the news, Chief Inspector Parker of Scotland Yard decide to visit Ravencourt Castle and personally see to it that the girl remains unharmed and her would-be murderer be arrested before he/she can perform any evil deed. When Parker arrived, a great storm had him and the 12 people staying at the castle stranded. Parker discovered that May might be right because the rooms in the castle are all festered with deadly booby-traps. So before he can do any sleuthing, he will have to carefully disarm the traps. Hopefully, Inspector Parker will survive long enough to crack this case and apprehend the villain. This is a whodunit puzzle game where you guide Inspector Parker through the many rooms and floors of Ravencourt Castle in order to gather enough clues and evidence to pinpoint who the villain is. In terms of gameplay, the game is like a dish of minesweeper and a small side of adventure. When first entering a room, you will have to disarm the booby traps there. This is the minesweeper part. As you walk around the room, the tiles nearby will light up into a certain color. Blue means no traps are adjacent to the tile, green means one is adjacent, yellow means two and so forth. Base on these clues, you have to determine where these traps are and disarm them with a right click. Special traps act a bit differently: a Flashing Skull Trap indicates a hidden trap that can only be disarmed by finding the remote weapon aimed at it. If you step on one of them, you can save yourself by quickly stepping off. A timed trap must be disarmed before time runs out. Every time you are struck by a trap or right-clicked the wrong tile you will lose a life. If you run out of lives, then you will have to restart that room. Adventure part: When you finish disarming the room, you can start exploring it. By pressing the spacebar, you will see what can be interacted with. If you see a guest there, talk to them and find out as much as you can. Many times, by clicking a vent, you will hear secret conversation between guests. Also, by digging around, you will find items to put in your inventory. At the end of the game, you will have to determine who the killer is and what clues were use to solve the case. If you are more into the disarming-traps part of the game, you can always play in puzzle mode which offers 3 different difficulty settings. Here you will keep solving puzzles that gets progressively harder. | ||

A classic story of betrayal and revenge unravels in Catwoman, based on the Warner Bros. Pictures feature film of the same name. Gamers will control Halle Berry as Catwoman as they play the movie, utilizing her unique cat-like skills, senses and cunning to defeat her enemies. Catwoman is based upon the DC Comics character. The film and game follow the story of Patience Phillips, who is killed after she uncovers a dark secret held by her employers. Brought back to life by a rare Egyptian cat, she becomes Catwoman and sets out to discover the truth about herself and her murderer. Boasting incredible acrobatic skills, Catwoman can leap across roofs, run up walls, pounce on prey, utilize unique "cat senses," and avoid enemy bullets with feline grace. In addition, she can use her whip to swing through the air and utilize the fully interactive enviroments to trap or knock her foes unconcious. The game will take players through numerous levels set in seven different locations from the movie, including the jewelery store, the Hedare Factory, and Hedare's mansion and grounds. Gamers will encounter all the key characters from the movie, including three challenging bosses: Armando, Hedare's head henchman; Wesley, the evil and twisted Hedare accountant; and Laurel Hedare, the beautiful face behind the evil empire. Players will view the world from a feline point of view and utilize unique cat attributes that allow Catwoman to change the odds to her advantage. These powers enable her to see in the dark (unlike her foes) and hunt her prey by seeing footprints and smelling trails that reveal where they have been and what they have done. Catwoman can also use her Sixth Sense to establish threats around her and even predict what her enemy may do next. Catwoman can use her whip to throw or topple objects; smash breakable items; trigger interactive objects remotely; climb, descend and swing from structures; and even rescue herself from incredible death falls in the rooftop levels. | ||

Their relationship has seemingly improved since then, but Tomoya's injuries, mental and physical, have led him to a delinquent life. This changes when he meets Nagisa Furukawa, a soft-spoken girl who gets sick easily. Tomoya begins to help her reform a drama club she failed to join last year, and gradually changes his view about life. Clannad is a visual novel. The game is dedicated to the development of the story, displayed as still images accompanied by text.

The game is divided into two parts; the second one describes the lives of its main characters some time after the conclusion of the first one. In order to access the second part, the player has to play through all the scenarios of the first one, which are only possible to achieve by replaying it and making different choices each time. An English version was released in 2015 on Steam with visuals upgraded to 1280x960, a Dangopedia handy reference tool for understanding aspects of Japanese tradition and pop culture, Steam achievements, and in-game menu to review your progress. | ||

COPS 2170 is a tactical strategy game of squad combat with RPG elements set in a futuristic cyberpunk world. It is a prequel to Paradise Cracked, an earlier game by the same company. In the game you control Katy, a new officer fresh from the academy that aims to make a solid career in the police force. You will control her as your main character and recruit additional partners to undertake several missions, which usually involve combat across the urban sprawls of the future against several factions and gangs in the city. As the game progresses a plot starts to surface involving a deranged criminal who aims to bring the city to its knees. You can control up to 6 characters and additional backup NPCs, each with their own stats and equipment and issue orders to them on squad-based turns. Since you are part of the police force there's no resource management and instead the equipment availability is decided by your rank, which depends on the conditions in which you complete each mission.

This is basically a tycoon game with arcade elements. The player manages a kebab restaurant, expands it and ultimately takes over all restaurants of the city. On the legal side the player has all the usual options: hiring and firing employees, choosing the furniture, buying ingredients, advertising, betting and so on. Additionally he can create his own kebab. On the other hand the player can also participate in several illegal activities to earn money, e.g. smuggling or sending goons to another restaurant to "convince" its owner to sell it. The arcade elements are all variants of arcade classics and are played after special incidents, e.g. a Soko-Ban variant to hide evidence when the police makes a swoop. Like many similar games the player spends most of its time on statistics screens and menus with static backgrounds. The city is presented in a isometric perspective where the player can choose his destination, e.g. one of his restaurants. | ||

| Fushigina Mori no Pokora | Marcken Software | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
You play as a little girl who is trying to catch cute creatures called Pokora which are stealing acorns. Featuring some adorable visuals and innovative controls this game quickly breaks from the mold placed by other games. Your goal in this game is to catch as many Pokora as you can within the given time limit. To help you in this endeavor you have a radar shows you the location of these furry creatures. Considering you have a limited amount of time you won't be able to take your time and plan an attack, instead you will be charging head on toward the evasive Pokora. It's an interesting blend of genres, using racing-like controls as weird as that may sound. You basically use 2 buttons besides the directional pad: forward (or gas if you prefer) and jump which allows you to hop over obstacles that might get in your way. Mastering techniques such as drifting early on is important, because hitting an obstacle head on will knock you out for a bit losing precious seconds in the process. You can also do a rocket start by standing still and holding throttle and jump. This is perfect to get a jump start on those tricky little demons. If you are running and press throttle and jump you will do a dive allowing you to gain the last couple of steps needed to catch a quick Pokora. You will notice that some Pokoras carry acorns. Catching one of them grants you all the acorns that it was carrying. Collecting enough acorns allows you to purchase new clothing between levels that give you specific stat bonuses. Walking in mud slows you down to a walking pace. Rivers are impassible but you can jump over them to get quickly to the other side. Some levels also feature other elements such as wild boars. Once they start chasing you they never stop. The only way to stop a wild boar is to make it ram into an object, knocking it out for a short period of time. Scattered throughout the level you will find objects that once collected need to be brought back to a specific shrine in order to gain a temporary power up. This encourages exploration even in a tight time frame, because a speed boost from these power-ups is always welcomed. It has some of the cutest graphics and everything is extremely colorful and the levels are brimming with details: Cicadas sing happily on trees, butterflies and dragonflies fly around, and even birds scatter when approached. | ||

Gish is a platformer with a twist. You play a blob of tar named Gish (yes, I said a blob of tar) who is on a journey to find his girlfriend, Brea - who is not another blob of tar, but rather a human. Using the complex, realistic physics engine, Gish must stick to walls, slide through cracks, topple boxes, and solve many other strange physics puzzles while battling enemies. Even jumping is very physics-heavy; Gish has to bounce up and down to gain momentum for a jump. The game includes three modes: Story, which is standard linear platforming, Collection, a sort of time attack mode, and Vs., where two Gishes fight to the death. It has dynamic physics and lighting, destructible environments, 34+ story levels, 20+ collection levels, 80+ player-made levels available for download, six unique VS. modes, unlockable game modes, over 15 animated enemies, six deranged bosses, five "super secret" levels, and a level editor. | ||

This is the 7.5th installment of Touhou Project. Instead of being one of the series' traditional shoot 'em up games, it is a 2D fighting game with a heavy bias toward projectiles. Because of this slant, the spell card feature from the series' other installments also plays a role in this one. In addition to being a player's means of using special attacks, after getting opponents down to a certain amount of HP in Story Mode, they will unleash a spell card, which involves trickier attack patterns and must be overcome to defeat them for good. As the story goes on, enemies will have multiple spell cards. Gensokyo has settled down after the Spring Snow Incident that occurred in Perfect Cherry Blossom. Reimu Hakurei and the others are currently having a feast every three days at the Hakurei shrine. During these feasts, a strange mist appears. The playable character decides to get the cause of the never-ending feast schedule and the mist. This incident was later called the "Night Parade of One Hundred Oni Every Four Days" by Aya Shameimaru in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red. The perpetrator of the incident is an oni, said to have disappeared from Gensokyo, named Suika Ibuki. She thought that it was a shame that the flower-viewing season had been cut short due to the very long winter. She spread herself out in the form of a mist all throughout Gensokyo, and "gathered" the hearts of both humans and youkai to cause them to have a feast every few days. Because the art of oni extermination has been lost to Gensokyo, the girls could not eliminate her, but the mist disappeared afterwards and feasts started to happen less frequently. | ||

Pixar and Disney have created a number of hit movies, many of which have games created from them. Now The Incredibles joins these other titles with this action/adventure game. Like the movie, the game focuses on the retired superheroes, Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, and their children Violet and Dashiell. The family has been living a normal, if super-powered, life in the suburbs after law suits by, ironically, people saved by superheroes led to an early retirement. Now, however, a villain has appeared that only the Incredibles can defeat. Using scenes from the movie, the game follows the Incredibles as they battle this new threat. Different levels put players in control of different family members and will have to master that character's special abilities to get through the level. Mr. Incredible's super strength means his levels involve many enemies to beat up. Elastigirl, on the other hand, must stretch to reach objects and solve puzzles on her levels. Violet's invisibility powers turn her levels into stealth missions, while Dashiell's super speed means players will be racing to beat the clock. Each of the characters will also encounter at least one boss they must defeat by using their special powers. Gamers who enjoyed the movie will have a lot of fun playing out the plot and getting to know the characters better. The levels and puzzles will provide a good amount of challenge, as will the variety of levels and five unique characters to master. | ||

The authors of Moorhuhn present another superbly graphically processed, imaginative and playable arcade game, the main role of which this time is played by a sympathetic turtle, krakens and tons of dynamite. The protagonist is a friendly turtle who smiles in all promotional materials. The player guides her on her way through the seas of the world and tries to save her smaller friends, who were trapped in ice cubes by evil krakens and left to float freely on the surface. The whole action is viewed from a bird's-eye view, while the protagonist can be controlled either with the cursor arrows or with the mouse (left and right movement means rotation, left button starts movement forward). In addition to the passive surroundings in the form of various magical islands, beaches and nicely processed water surfaces, the levels are filled with a number of active objects. It has already been said that ice cubes with small turtles are the key. If the player drives against them and crashes into them, they will disintegrate and a certain number of points will be added to the account. Additional time can (and is absolutely necessary, because otherwise the game often does not unlock the next level) be obtained by killing krakens. They hatch from eggs - and that is their only weakness, because otherwise they are deadly. The moment an egg appears on the screen, the turtle must quickly rush to it and destroy it with an impact. If it doesn't make it, nothing too terrible happens yet - after a short interval, one of the already hatched krakens will pupate back. If the turtle doesn't intervene this time, two will hatch in its place after a while, and it continues like this until the green avenger puts a stop to it. Other active objects include various bonuses that help the turtle, barrels that can be broken later, dangerous sea mines that must be avoided, or TNT crates that can be used for explosive chain reactions. Almost every level out of a total of ten introduces some new element, or at least a tactical solution, so no one can get bored with the game. | ||

This is a collection of three Flash-based mini-games featuring the characters from Magna Cum Laude. Babewatch puts in the role of a waiter/lifeguard on a beach, as you need to fetch drinks or ice cream for your customers. After helping them, they'll ask you to lather them with lotion, after which you'll get a "date!", increasing your score. Every once in awhile, you'll also need to rescue someone out in the water, which will also get you a date. In Bar Wars, you need to serve your customers by grabbing either beer or coffee, serving it to them, cleaning out the glasses, and repeating. As they get drunker, soon they start getting rowdy and taking their tops off before collapsing. Both of these are controlled with the keyboard, although the movement takes place on an isometric plane, making it very hard to control. Nightwatch is actually a ripoff of an old Flash game called Ya Ya XX. You play in a dark room filled with woman, and as one of them peeks up from the covers, you click on them for a quick bit of lovin'. In other words, it's more or less just like Whack-a-Mole but with chicks. Hidden amongst the beautiful girls is also the fat, ugly one, which will actually deduct points from your score. | ||

A real-time strategy game that takes place in the fantasy universe of Middle-Earth created by J.R.R. Tolkien. The game allows the players to participate in two separate campaigns in which they can lead one of 4 nations: riders of Rohan, soldiers of Gondor, army of Isengard and legions of Mordor. Each nation has its advantages and weaknesses. The gameplay combines features of classic RTS games, based on resource gathering and base expansion paired with epic fights during which, similarly as in the Total War series, the player controls whole formations of troops and powerful war machines. Heroes with special powers, such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas or Gimli are an interesting addition to the formula. The developers recreated many battles known from the trilogy, including the Battle of Helm's Deep during which as much as 500 units can appear on the screen simultaneously. Graphics of the title are generated by the engine that was previously used in Command & Conquer: Generals. Cast spells and mobilize hundreds of units as you vie to take control of the One Ring. The game takes an old-school, Command and Conquer approach to J.R.R. Tolkien's acclaimed universe, with one important twist: there is no real interface to speak of: structures can only be built on predefined sites and, like the units, they are ordered through a circular context-sensitive command menu that ensures that you get pulled into the action. Also, the license of the game is taken from the movies, allowing it to have the voices, likeness and even clips from the Hollywood production extravaganza. | ||

This is an expansion pack to Melty Blood. It adds an Arcade Mode, which continues the plot of the main game. Several changes have been made regarding character balancing; a few combo sequences have been removed. The "doppelgänger" characters of the main heroes have received their own move sets, as opposed to the main game, where they were restricted to imitating the fighting style of the "original" characters. Several new characters, including two playable ones and two bosses, have been added as well. The final revision for Re-ACT, Final Tuned adds several features designed to allow the game to be configured to resemble the gameplay of Melty Blood Act Cadenza. It also adds a large number of gameplay tweaks and slightly updated animations. The most notable of the new features are: The inclusion of a new, analog-friendly controller setup; New configuration options that lets players assign multi-button commands to individual buttons; The ability to alter and adjust many of the game's internal variables (via new interface options); Four new colors for each player.

is the debut title of the Polish development studio Calaris, which includes people to whom we owe the creation of, among others, the famous Mortyr. The game presents the adventures of five friends whose ship crashes on the shores of a mysterious island. The player takes on one of the selected characters. His task is to find friends scattered around the island, organize a team, and then build a raft together that will help them return home. However, this task turns out to be a bit more complex than it seems. It is necessary to solve many secrets that the island hides. While acquiring materials and tools needed to create a raft, the player will experience many adventures, meet friends and the mysterious world of the game. The culmination of adventures is to free the natives from the curse of the evil witch wielding the island and return home safely. The design is an easily digestible mix of RPG and RTS games with a clearly emphasized thread of life simulation, a pleasant graphic design and convenient control. In the game, we manage a team of characters who can develop skills in a number of different fields. At the same time, skirmishes with encountered opponents are presented in the same way as in RTS games. Thanks to the extensive Artificial Intelligence system, life simulation is extremely convincing and meaningful. Algorithms describing the behavior of the characters are much more subtle and more complex than it is in other modern computer games, which makes the game extraordinary and the gameplay extremely passionate. In 2017, the game was made freeware. | ||

In N, you play as a ninja whose world is populated solely with robots. Unlike other pop culture ninjas, this ninja is equipped with no weapons, and must rely entirely on speed, flexible mobility, and the way of N. As we all know, ninjas possess an irrational thirst for gold. So while dodging laser blasts and homing missiles, N's ninja also has the opportunity to satisfy the lucre craving. N is a puzzle-platformer featuring 150 levels encapsulated in 30 episodes, with a time limit of 90 seconds per episode. Gameplay progress is saved after each episode (comprised of 5 levels), but the player can infinitely retry a level if they die. N features physics-based control in a tile-based world. Distinguishing characteristics include complex collision detection, fluid animation and quirky ragdoll physics. A sequel called N+ came out in 2008 on Xbox Live. | ||

| Nuclear Titbit: Flashback [Ru] | Vz.lab / GFI, Russobit-M | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a game in the genre of quest, arcade. Unlike the original Nuclear Titbit, it's not an adventure and is not a sequel. According to the plot, the player at the beginning of the game will be in a small closed building of six rooms. In the role of the protagonist - a strange creature with no hair on his head, but with a metal claw, replacing a limb, and a terrible smile. The atmosphere in the room directly corresponds to the protagonist - all around peeling walls, blood stains, boxes in which nuclear waste is stored, mutated rats. For complete happiness, the toilet was occupied by some guy with an ax in his back. It's not recommended for persons under the age of 18. There are quite a few not very cultural phrases in it, not to mention the image on the monitor. But for fans of a mixture of black and vulgar humor, it will be fine. One has only to note that it is very short, only about half an hour in duration. It contains similar quests from other games. "Spermoguns" offer a fast-paced sperm race towards the egg cell - taken from Earthworm Jim . And in the “Battle for the harvest” Pac-Man is used by everyone. Fight "on the fists" with the participation of angry mooks, flight on balloons from the annoying clown, shooting sheep, riding innocent old women - just as secondary and primitive, nonstop running around from the police. | ||

| Obake [J] | Samona | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This unique and fun Japanese platformer plays like what Messiah would probably be without the third dimension, religious/sci-fi overtones, and 'real-world' graphics. The gameplay is similar to Nintendo's Kirby console games, which allow you to use the enemies' skills once you defeat them. The (rather thin) plot: you play a young ghost named Obake Kid ("ghost kid") who must stop his father, the ghost king who has gone berserk. Although you play a ghost in this game, you do take damage from various enemies, and contrary to logic, can only hop around similar to Mario. On the other hand, you can 'possess' the bodies of enemies, of which there are over 20 types ranging from little robots to mutant pigs. What makes Obake a lot of fun is the wide variety of skills you gain while possessing enemies. You can climb walls, glide over the ground, become invincible for a short while, and even walk on ceilings. The enemies also give the game considerable 'puzzle' element: specific abilities are required to pass certain spots, and part of the challenge lies in figuring out what you need. And while you can possess enemies, you can only do that temporarily: once the possessed's energy bar falls to zero, you revert back to your vulnerable ghost form. Another area in which Obake shines is the sheer number and diversity of levels. There are 50 levels in all, divided into worlds of various shapes and styles, each with its own set of unique enemies, navigation styles (some worlds force you to go in one direction, while others allow you move horizontally and vertically at your leisure), and even puzzle elements. For instance, the castle world requires you to find keys to open different doors. Each world features classic console-style end-level "boss" that are appropriately hard to beat, although unfortunately they resemble each other too much. Last but not least, the game contains a lot of secrets. If you can collect all the hidden "G" icons in the game, for example, you can unlock the final eight levels. | ||

| Outdoor Life: Sportman's Challenge | Cat Daddy Games / Take-Two Interactive | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a business simulation game where the player must build a park in one of several locations without going bankrupt. It features two distinct modes of play: instant action and challenge. Instant action allows the player to choose from one of twelve possible park locations, all of which provide different challenges and opportunities to the player. Upon choosing one of the twelve locations, the player is then granted $25,000 and can build the park as much as they wish before officially deciding to open it. The challenge mode features many of the same gameplay features as instant action, however, the main difference is that there is a more pointed focus in terms of there being a specific objective along with certain other limitations such as a requirement to complete said objective within a certain limited time frame. In all, there are 12 available challenges, grouped in three sections of four, based on difficulty: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. There are five categories of buildings which the player can build from: lodge, food and entertainment, construction and expansion, shops, and administration and safety. Lodge includes the buildings where guests stay while visiting the park as well as the park's bathroom facilities; this includes lodges, cabins, and campsites as well as the washroom for guests' bathroom needs. Food and entertainment comprises the places where guests can get food, drink, and fun and includes bars and pubs, ATV and boat rentals, and park tours. Construction and expansion is mainly the different buildings involved in the infrastructure of the player's park and includes construction buildings for clearing out land and building larger buildings, a maintenance building for maintaining the park's different structures, a groundskeeper building for keeping the park clean, and a trail building which allows the player to build hiking trails for park guests. Shops provide guests with everything they might need during their stay in the park and includes everything from gun and bow and arrow shops to hunter and fisherman supply shops to general stores and meat lockers. Administration and safety includes a range of buildings relating to the management of the park including the tags and licensing building where guests can buy needed tags, the ranger station and fire tower to control forest fires, the conservation center to manage wildlife populations, the gun and trail safety building to properly train guests, and the first aid and seek and rescue buildings to find and treat injured guests. Guests and Staff - Once the player decides to open the park, they will be prompted with a screen which will allow them to allocate as many funds as they deem fit to advertise to different groups that they wish to attract to their park. Following this, the player officially begins the process of booking the guests who will then stay in the park for seven game days. The six types of guests, each of which are fairly self-explanatory, that one can attract to their park are: fishermen, fowl hunters, small game hunters, medium game hunters, big game hunters, and sightseers. In addition to guests, the player must hire a range of different people to ensure the park operates successfully. The seven types of employees that the player can hire are: maintenance workers, groundskeepers, rangers, game wardens, search and rescue workers, tour guides, and safety guides. The maintenance worker maintains the buildings in the park, the groundskeeper ensures that the park is kept clean, the ranger puts out forest fires, the game warden cracks down on poaching which is essential to prevent overexploitation of animals (it is possible to manually buy animals but this is quite expensive), the search and rescue worker heals injured guests, the tour guide leads tours on park trails, and the safety guide teaches guests how to be more safe. | ||

Long ago, an evil spirit known as Spooky had terrorized all of Pac-Land. A young knight called Sir Pac-alot sealed Spooky underneath a large tree using the 5 sacred "Golden Fruit", which were attached to the branches of the tree. In the present time late at night, Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde sneak into the village and, in their mischief, pluck the Golden Fruit off the tree in the center of town. Unfortunately, this has released Spooky from his prison. The big boss tells the ghosts to take the Golden Fruit and follow him if they wish to rid the land of the Pac-people forever. When Pac-Man awakes, he hears the news from Professor Pac about the Golden Fruit and Spooky, and sets off to defeat the ghosts and Spooky. The player controls Pac-Man in a 3D environment along a linear path with the simple object of reaching the end. Pac-Man World 2 has few maze-like areas unlike historical Pac-Man games which are completely comprised of mazes. The game has 20 levels and 15 mazes in 6 different environments. The plot involves Pac-Man finding five golden fruits that were stolen by ghosts. These fruits were vital to his town. Pac-Man sometimes must fight and defeat enemies in order to progress. At the end of each area is a boss. The boss is always a ghost in a giant machine, excluding the final boss. There are many items to collect in this game including cherries, strawberries, apples, melons, oranges, the traditional dots, and tokens. All of these items come from previous Pac-Man games. Not all levels contain all of the collectible items, nor do they contain the same number of each. Throughout the game Pac-Man can gather tokens that unlock old maze Pac-Man incarnations, which have been described by some as “perfect emulations”. | ||

Most of the games are available in two levels of difficulty, which is good because it gives both young and somewhat older children a challenge. The durability is extended by a nearly hour-long tale consisting of the original sound of the film "Katten och Gubbens år". | ||

Pyjamarama was a classic 1984 game published for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64. A superb remake was done in 2004. It's an arcade adventure set across several interconnecting rooms. The player takes the role of Wally Week, who has gone to bed for the night and has to wake up early in the morning for work. Unfortunately, his alarm clock has not been wound, and thus he will sleep late in the morning, and his boss will fire him. However, in his sleep, Wally's consciousness travels around his home, and other places, wearing his pyjamas, in search for the key to rewind the alarm clock and wake himself up. The game is made up of static single-screen rooms, each of which can include platforms in various arrangements, objects to pick up, and enemies to avoid. Wally can walk through the screens to progress through the game's map and to pick up objects. Wally can only carry two items at a time, so each time he picks up an item, he drops an old item in its place. Contact with an enemy drains Wally's "snooze energy", and if it runs out, Wally loses one of his "lives". When all three "lives" are lost, Wally returns to sleep and doesn't wake up until late in the morning, losing the game. | ||

This is a great sidescrolling action fighting adventure doujin game based on the MMORPG Ragnarok Online (both an homage and a spoof), but can easily be played and enjoyed by people who have never played the MMO. In 2014, nks ripped the game with all three expansions together with Nyxojaele's translation patch plus a widescreen patch. The game impressed Gravity Corporation so much that it has been given an official release outside of Japan. Released as Ragnarok Battle, the game has been distributed in Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand and a deluxe package in Korea which comes with its own gamepad. Level Up! Games also released an English version of RBO available in the Philippines. However, this release is based only on the initial version of RBO, which does not include the expansions released by French-Bread. Though primarily a beat 'em up game, RBO also contains some RPG elements. You take control of one of 14 different adventurers (seven classes - Swordsman, Archer, Acolyte, Magician, Merchant, Thief and Novice - with a male and a female variant of each class) and you go and...beat up monsters. The player creates a character from one of six basic classes and one unlockable class, allocate points to the character's stats and skills, and then enter one of the stages. Up to 3 people can play at once, using the keyboard, joysticks or gamepads. | ||

Hollywood's greatest movies and biggest stars make the Turner Classic Movies edition of Scene It? the ideal gift for movie buffs and game lovers alike. Game features content from more than 180 movies and 700+ on-screen trivia challenges from TCM’s library dating back to the 1950s. The game can be played on a board or in 'Party Play' mode, the game board is not used in 'Party Mode' where the players are shown a series of questions and compete to be the first to shout out the answer. The game has a 'Pre-set Gameplay' mode, this is because the DVD element of the game randomly selects the questions it asks the players and this may result in some questions being repeated, using this mode removes that possibility. It was sold in two forms, as a boxed game which includes the game board and as an expansion pack for those who already had a game board by virtue of owning one of the other games in the series. The board is called a 'flex-time game board' after it's novel feature, when there's not enough time/interest to play a full game it can be folded thus reducing it's size so that a shorter game can be played. There are two ways to win the game. The downloadable rules say that the game is completed when a player collects ten trivia cards while the DVD game instructions show that the player must travel round the board to the 'Final Cut' area where they must answer three challenge questions to win. | ||

The plot follows that of the movie: newlywed ogre couple Shrek and Princess Fiona travel to Far Far Away to meet Fiona's parents, who don't approve of the marriage. The King then plots with the Fairy Godmother against Shrek, sending an assassin his way.

The coins can be traded for potions at drive-through shops scattered around the levels. Nine potions are available, from healing and invisibility potions to ones that freeze enemies or turn them into frogs. Other extras to be found are four-leaf clovers, which increase maximum health, and wanted posters featuring common fairy tale characters.

The PC version of Shrek 2 was quite different than the console version, with simplified gameplay so that it would be more accessible to a younger audience. However, Activision decided that it should probably port the actual console version to PCs, since the tremendous commercial success of the movie might actually lure gamers to buy a second Shrek game. And so we have Shrek 2 Team Action. As the game implies, the player has several of the film's main characters at his disposal and can often switch between them, a la Sonic Heroes. Other than that, Shrek 2 TA plays more or less like most 3D platform games with several added twists: some elements of rhythm games and some searching around, for instance. The game follows the plot of the movie: Shrek and Fiona travel to Fionas' homeland of Far, Far Away Land to visit the parents. Shrek's in-laws, particularly her father, aren't too happy with their daughter's choice - so the poor ogre has to fight his way to gain their approval. | ||

| Sims 2, The | Maxis Software Inc. / Electronic Arts Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
In this sequel to the The Sims, Maxis has created an entirely new, 3D engine, similar to the console Sim games. The player can rotate the camera in a 360° view, or shuffle the camera to the left and to the right. The Sims are also fully animated, articulated characters. They have a wide range of movements, most of which are humorous. Eating, drinking, going to the bathroom, getting kissed, proposing marriage, etc. with each having a specific animation for it. It has an expanded Build mode. The player can now create large houses, going up to four floors, with new types of wallpapers, carpets, stairs, fireplaces, and more. The player can connect parts of their house via a deck or patio, or a balcony-type catwalk. When first playing the game, the player can choose to move their family into a pre-made neighborhood with different themes, or they can create one from scratch. If the player has SimCity 4 and/or Rush Hour installed, they can import cities into The Sims 2 to use custom neighborhoods. The biggest change to the game is aging and fears/aspirations. The Sims will now age, from a newborn, onto a toddler, then to a child, then to an adult, and then finally to a senior. The Sims will also eventually die of old age (although they can die earlier by other means), but there is a way to prolong a Sims youth. Fears and aspirations are just that. Each Sim has different fears and aspirations that must be avoided and met, respectively. If a Sim has a fear of a loved one dying, the Sim will experience difficulty for a time after that person dies. If a Sim has aspirations to get to the top of the corporate ladder, the Sim will earn aspiration points, which eventually turn into a Platinum meter. When enough points have been reached, the player can buy special items, like a Money Tree which releases bags of money every so often. Meeting a Sims fear results in their aspiration points being lowered. Sims also have memories, which they will use to remember things throughout the course of their lives. This can deeply impact gameplay depending on how the game is played. The last major addition is the ability to create movies using Sims. The player can capture the Sims actions, and then edit the video to make a movie of sorts. The player has the option of adding special effects, like slow motion or blur.

This is not a console port as expected, but a different 'kiddie' version brought to you by 'The Fizz Factor' and Activision.

| SpongeBob SquarePants: Typing | ImaginEngine Corp. / Riverdeep Interactive Learning Limited | [top] | |

SpongeBob SquarePants, star of the animated children's television program, is the unlikely typing tutor in this educational game. Eugene H. Krabs, crabby denizen of Bikini Bottom, has found a strange artifact in a dumpster. When Squidward tells him it's a typewriter, Eugene first tries to cash in by selling it as a "Wordyburger". Not having any luck with that, he sets up a pay-to-enter typing tournament at the Krusty Krab, with a seanut butter & jellyfish jelly sandwich for the grand prize. This proves to be a popular idea, and the resulting line naturally attracts our friend, SpongeBob. He takes you through 20 different lessons, covering all the keys including uppercase and numbers, and working to develop your typing speed and accuracy. Prior to entering the tournament, you can go to a practice center, where you can select from a large list of typing exercises (printable upon completion), or go to Glove World and play the typing mini-games. These include: Senseless Patrick - Patrick has lost his senses; you are inside his head and must type letters in a maze game to retrieve them; Snail's Pace Race - Type the words at the bottom of the screen to keep your snail moving along on the racetrack; speed and accuracy count; Doh Ray Me - Pick a song and type the notes (letter keys) shown to play the music; A Star is Born - Type the words shown on screen to dress Patrick up in your favorite colors - mix and match to make some truly ridiculous costumes; Glove World 500 - As you drive, type the words shown on your dashboard; errors manifest as splats on your windshield. Keep your eyes off the road. The tournament itself is actually the lesson series, each one consisting of a tutorial, a drill, keystroke practice, an activity from the Glove World games, and a quiz. As you successfully complete each lesson you are considered to have won a tournament round, and the cut-scenes in between rounds are little vignettes about the character you will be facing off against next. SpongeBob also stresses the importance of ergonomics and proper finger placement - as you play you will see a keyboard on screen with a pair of semi-transparent hands showing the correct placement (I asked someone else to type while I watched, and those hands actually type each letter along with you!). There are three levels of play - Seaworthy, Sailorific, and Holy Mackerel, so you can up your level for an extra challenge or practice. | ||

This tells the story of a retired pirate captain who looks back on his adventures in the Carribean in 12 missions, divided over different chapters. The gameplay is similar to Sid Meier's Pirates!, but entirely arcade-based, without role-playing, adventure or strategy elements. There are two types of missions: the player either commands a ship and has to take out different enemies with the cannons, or the mission takes place in a city, on an island or on a ship, controlling only the captain in fighting sequences. Both types of missions are time-limited. During the ship sequences, the player has to track down enemy vessels in a region with different islands using the compass, and attack them with the cannons. These can only be fired from both sides. Sunken ships provide bonuses such as lead cannon balls, an extra cannon, repairs, or more time. Some of these can also be found in the water. There are also smaller boats and sharks that attack the ship. During the fight sequences, the captain can strike enemies and needs to collect loot. Other bonuses are life potions, treasure, new weapons such as an axe or a sword, and additional time. The game is entirely in 3D. The camera can be rotated and zoomed in on the action. In between certain missions, 3D-rendered cut-scenes are shown. | ||

Welcome to Trivial Pursuit with a twist! Play the board game in one of three ways with 1-6 friends either with you or online through GameSpy. Choose to play in Classic, Unhinged, or Flash. The classic game is just that, the standard Trivial Pursuit game. Unhinged adds two additional features: special spaces (50/50 chance, teleport, board rotate, etc) and betting. With betting, you can choose whether your opponent will answer correctly or incorrectly and bet 1-2 points. These points can allow you to gain the ability to roll again if you don't like your roll. Flash mode is for those who want a quick game. There are 5 levels of the board. You start on the first level and have a choice of 2 spaces. Answer correctly and move up a level for another 2 spaces to choose from. The first to the top wins. Questions are asked from the 6 different categories depending on what space you are on. Each question has a multiple choice selection of 4 possible answers to choose from. The only exception is with the 50/50 spaces in Unhinged mode where there are only 2 possible answers to choose from. The questions are read by famous people like Bill Nye the Science Guy and Whoopi Goldberg. Every now and then, they will throw in other information relating to (or not) the question either before you answer, or after you answer. They may also make comments about your inability to answer a question correctly. | ||

| Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos - Joey the Passion | Konami Computer Entertainment Japan, Inc. / Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. | [top] | |

The Power of Chaos series continues with Joey the Passion. This game brings hundreds more cards to the series, a new computer opponent to battle, and a new 2-player LAN mode. There is also a new duelist level ranking to show how good you are. Joey the Passion lets you play using the 350 cards from this game, as well as the ability to use cards from the other games in the series that you have won if you have those games. So, if you have a great deck from one or both of the other games in the series, you can bring that over to Joey the Passion and improve it with cards from this game. Cards are not backwards compatible, however. So you won't be able to use Joey the Passion cards in the other games. Although advertising a brand-new interface, you will find that everything is really the same, but with new graphical features, just like the differences between Yugi the Destiny and Kaiba the Revenge. This game has a street feel to it rather than the Egyptian feel of Yugi and the futuristic feel of Kaiba. The new 2-player LAN mode lets players duel it out on a LAN. This mode is not available for Internet play, so find yourself a LAN to try it out on. Also new to this game is the ability to have your opponent (Joey) play using a deck of only the cards from this game, or with cards from all three games. This helps to add some more replayability to the game as your opponent has more cards to choose from. Gameplay is the same as the rest of the series, although Joey has different strategies than are found in the other games just as different human players have different strategies. | ||

This standalone expansion to Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos: Yugi the Destiny brings you over 300 new cards and allows you to battle Kaiba instead of Yugi. The gameplay is the same as in the first game. However, Kaiba is much smarter in his strategies and moves and will give a much greater challenge to you. The new cards also add a very different feel to the game. With upgrade spells, it is very possible to put a monster's attack over 10000 in this game! The expansion automatically imports your deck from the first game if you have one. If not, you can still play with the starter deck that is given to you. Set up your deck with 40-80 cards and prepare yourself for battle. As in Yugi the Destiny, this game has a tutorial to help you get started if you are new to the game. Battles are also the same in that you can play a single battle, or a match battle where you play best 2 out of 3. In the match battle, you have access to your side deck to make changes in your deck between rounds. If you manage to win a match battle, you win 3 cards instead of the 1 card you win in single battle mode. This can allow you to win 3 cards in only two battles if you're good (lucky). | ||

A set of two games based on the stories of children's favourite heroes. Each of these programs contains numerous games for one or more players. Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves - We present a programme based on the story of the well-known hero in which everyone will find something for themselves. In this game, a dangerous mission to defend a city against the thieves, is waiting for those gifted with reflex, a secret act of picking up the Sesame treasures for those who like pursuits, and an assignment that requires outwitting guards and running away from their ground for the fans of action and adventure.

What's the story in Balamory? Invite your kids to join Miss Hooly, Pocket & Sweet, PC Plum, Archie, Spencer and Edie Mcredie in virtual Balamory and they will learn as they play. Based on the popular BBC TV children's programme, it opens with the colourful introductory song viewers know so well. Children are then presented with a variety of games to test basic pre-school and early years skills. For younger children (3-4 years) the favourite will no doubt be Josie Jump's Hide and Seek game, where they must find Josie in a field of people, then click on her to make her jump. Equally rewarding for the smallest players is Spencer's Colour Challenge, where youngsters use basic mouse skills and number recognition to match colours with areas of the drawing - a kind of virtual colour by numbers. All players will love Edie's Delivery Dilemma, which involves Pac-Man-like gameplay as youngsters work against the clock, using the arrow keys to direct Edie's bus around the town and picking up fruit dropped by the delivery van so that Pocket & Sweet can sell it in their shop. PC Plum Investigates asks children to sort through the evidence that is all mixed up on the policeman's desk, so he can sort out his cases - tasks such as "click on the things that are the same colour as the sea" make this game accessible to most players. Slightly older children, (4-6 years) might like to try Archie's Word Wonder, where they must fill in the missing letters on words so that Archie's Word Machine can produce words for Miss Hooly's stories. The only criticism here is that words are sounded out by name only, and not phonetically, but otherwise this is a fun, testing game. Children of school age will also enjoy Pocket & Sweet's Shopping Spree - a fun shopping game that involves helping Penny and Susie put together all their orders, then adding up the cost at the end. If players tire at any point, they can take a break with one of six Miss Hooly stories. The production quality is superb: colours are bright and images crisp and the clips from the show run perfectly. Each game is introduced and narrated by the corresponding character from the show, with original voiceovers, and the games are fun, educational and pitched perfectly at the target age-range. There are three difficulty levels for each task, to avoid frustration and aid development. Help is on offer on every screen, and children as young as three or four years old, who possess basic mouse skills, will be able to play the easier games unaided, and the others with assistance. Instructions are read out and printed on-screen, so children can follow as they listen, thus developing valuable reading skills. Great thought has obviously gone into matching characters with tasks, and the variety of games played and skills tested makes this a fantastic all-round package. | ||

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

This is a kiddie game in which the little ones have to catch stars under the watchful eyes of Dora. The game is simple in concept and easy to understand by any child. Using your mouse, you have to click on stars to get a hold of them, and then drag them into backpacks. The stars are of different colors and the bags they have to be in need to correspond to those colors. There is also a bit of a challenge in the game. The stars move around in patterns or at random, and the backpacks change colors between them. Once a bag is colored, the player has to move fast to grab the star and put it where it needs to go. Also, everything is against the clock. It comes with two difficulty level, easy and hard, but the distinction between them is almost nonexistent. Playing in hard mode there are more stars to collect but they seem to move slower than those that are in easy mode. The nicest thing about the game is that throughout the entire game time, you can hear Dora’s voice and words of encouragement. | ||

This CD-ROM was given out in boxes of Froot Loops in 2004. It includes a sort of digital assistant software that allows you to launch programs or perform tasks by talking to Toucan Sam using your computer's mic and speech recognition software. It also includes a voice activated game to help Toucan Sam get another box of Froot Loops cereal. Kellogg's Froot Loops Cereal Adventure - Your goal is to help Toucan Sam get to the top of the mountain and reach a new box of Froot Loops cereal while scoring as many points as you can. As he travels throughout the adventure, Toucan Sam will need you to tell him what to do. Whenever he needs your help, he'll stop, waiting for you to tell him how to continue. And be careful. Any direction you give Toucan Sam to get past a challenge may work once. But that doesn’t mean the same command will work at the same challenge the next time you play. So keep your eyes and ears open. You'll be able to guide Toucan Sam by using these voice commands: "Jump High", "Fly Far", "Smell Now", "Eat That", "Left", "Right". These commands are listed on-screen during the game to remind you. If you say the right command, Toucan Sam will move on to the next challenge, and you'll earn points. If you give the wrong command, Toucan Sam will wait for you to try again. You can keep guessing the answer, but every wrong guess lowers the number of points you can win. An on-screen box shows your point total. Overall, there are three levels to the adventure. Every time you finish a level, you'll need to help Toucan Sam make a special decision. Say the right answer, and Toucan Sam will move on to the next level. Give the wrong answer, and Toucan Sam will wait for you to try again. The game ends when Toucan Sam reaches the top of the mountain and finds the Froot Loops cereal. | ||

Minnesota Cuke is not hurt in the accident, but when he arrives at the crash site, he finds that someone has taken the valuable relic. In the 15-level game of action and exploration that follows, Minnesota Cuke (and hopefully also the boys and girls who control him through the adventure) learns an important lesson about stealing. Like other Veggie Tales games, television shows, and movies, Minnesota Cuke and the Coconut Apes is by Big Idea Productions, a company dedicated to presenting values-based entertainment grounded in a Judeo-Christian world view. | ||

Mahjong game based on the 16-card mahjong game commonly used in Taiwan. The game provides ten actresses as opponents to play cards, and also provides two scenarios: story mode and free battle.

There is no time limit for playing cards, and files can be stored and withdrawn at any time, and the operation is quite convenient. It's just that the game's AI is very problematic. | ||

My dad was getting old, so I suppose I should have expected him to eventually collapse like he did the other day. His beloved cafe wouldn't stand his absence while he recovered in bed, though, so I knew my duty - I gave notice at the office job I'd worked since graduating college, and entered the whole new world of cafe management! Cocoa, a girl who worked here part time in the past, has helped me out a lot by coming back to her waitress job while I learn the ropes. We were still just scraping by, until one day my former co-worker Mitsuki stopped by with an offer to work part-time at the cafe as well! Cocoa wasn't too happy, but we needed the help, so I gladly accepted. Little did I know that she wouldn't be the last busty beauty vying for my attention - and that of the customers! Before I knew it, I found myself surrounded by four of the women most important to me in my life. It's wonderful to have them here, and without their help the cafe would be in shambles - but I could do without the stress caused by dealing with the four of them at once! I'm just lucky they're more than willing to help me relax at the end of a hard day's work... | ||

The seamy side of the Russian gaming industry is rich and inconceivably bad stamped races, and games based on crime films, and 5 MB handicrafts sold at full-value prices, as well as many others. For example, these simply ridiculous clones of the not so glamorous erotic games of the Rendezvous with a Stranger series. Their projects combine mindless and furious gameplay with nightmarish acting, but are huge rarities and are highly sought after by collectors. The developers changed the video, the surroundings, the items in the inventory and the winning combinations, while leaving the frame unchanged. The main character finds himself in a cottage village. We hit the mailbox with a hammer, and a postman girl appears, ready for anything (actually not) for the perfume of Beautiful Estee Lauder and ... a volume of Tyutchev. Then, however, she still needs to be presented glasses, cosmetics, a flashlight (!) and a tour of the Golden Ring (again "!"). And all this, of course, can only be guessed by trial and error. To attract a summer resident, you need to paint a sign with a house number (why not no), and in order to have a reason to come to visit the owner of the dacha, her (dacha) will have to be de-energized by brazenly breaking the meter. one volunteer used ArtMoney for enrichment, applied the method of trial and error, I found all the winning combinations and shared them with everyone - he is probably the only one who has achieved anything at all in this ridicule from the world of computer games. The graphics are still a cheap collage, the erotic (but not nearly pornographic) component is still tasteless, and you won't see it if you go through it honestly yourself. | ||

Imagine a miracle drug that can turn any self-respecting person into a sex-crazed deviant. Furthermore, imagine the drug has a name as ridiculous as “Make Love Junkies”. In this H-game, this drug is real, and it was mailed to our protagonist after ordering it off TV. It has such a peculiar potency that those affected still retain their mental faculties, but they are hardly in control of their starving bodies. That being said, our hero decides to make a harem consisting of a few women he’s had his eyes on, whether they’d like to or not. Two of these intended are classmates; those two also work as waitresses with another target; and finally there’s the literature teacher. At first our heroines aren’t so keen to get it on with our hero, but soon they’ll be giving themselves into the pleasure. That is, if you play your cards right (not too difficult with a miracle aphrodisiac). | ||

| Rance VI: Collapse of Zeth | Alice Soft / Surferdude Production, MangaGamer | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is the eighth installment of the longest-running hentai RPG series (since there were three Rance IV games). The protagonist Rance, the wandering knight who is only interested in women, insults a powerful magician of the country Zeth. As a result Rance is enslaved; ironically, his own slave (yes, you can safely insert the particle "sex" before it), the lovely Sill, is welcomed in the kingdom. Rance joins forces with rebels to get square with the Zeth rulers and be together with Sill again. This plays pretty much the same way as its predecessors: it is a Japanese-style RPG with standard turn-based combat system, but not-very-standard depictions of Rance's numerous encounters with the fair sex. It has fully 3D dungeons that are navigated from first-person perspective. The battles are viewed, as before, top-down view. Characters in Rance's party can utilize various magic spells and change their position on the battle field. In 2016, an English version was released. | ||

This is a strange hybrid of a very simplified simulation video quest and relationships are not characterized conceived gameplay. First-person view, while the picture on the screen will be either a kind of photo collage with active points, or a live video, in the format of which dialogs are executed. The player's goal is to achieve the location of several girls; in this case, in fact, the task will be to find the only correct sequence of actions that will lead to success, based on small tips and - to a much greater extent - on your own trial and error. So, the main character, apparently, is an employee of some office and wants to get the favor of the secretary, the president of the company and the client. Each of the girls has her own character and her own characteristics, and the main way to start a relationship is gifts. There is money in the game, which initially the player does not have very much, but it can be earned by collecting complex and very boring puzzles, and this will have to be done a huge number of times, even if you know the winning algorithm. With the money earned, you can buy in the online store: tea / coffee, sweets, wine, cigarettes, video tapes, movie tickets and travel vouchers - in each section there is a wide assortment. In addition to the puzzles and the store, the computer has a dossier on the company's employees (but not on the client) - apparently, the developers decided to descend from heaven to earth and still give the players tips. And if it says that the director of the company adores the work of Eldar Ryazanov, then you need to give the corresponding videotape, and not go through everything. However, it won't be easy anyway. For example, the initial gift for the president of the company will be at least five candies worth at least $ 35, as well as a ring and an alarm clock (these two items are in the inventory initially), but there is not a hint of all this anywhere! Can you guess that a girl needs an alarm clock? And if you give candies for $ 40, but four, not five, then we will have a failure, which is inevitable even with ten candies for $ 30, which, again, can be found out only by the method of long and persistent tests and mistakes. Moreover, if a failure did happen, the game will not give a second attempt at all, because the pen with which the player signed the documents to call the director disappears from the inventory. For the rest of the girls, the situation is no better: for example, the secretary needs wine worth at least $ 255. (for this you will have to collect dull puzzles a dozen times). In general, only a desperate fan of the genre can overcome these wild demands in the absence of information. However, those who have gained patience and found the right combinations for the sake of "strawberries" are expected, in modern colloquial language, a bummer. There are several reasons for this: first, the game is erotic and nothing more than erotic, and the level of "frankness" does not exceed that shown on TV, and even inferior to it; secondly, by turning on the same TV, one could find erotica not only more frank, but also much better in artistic terms. | ||

Ahriman's Prophecy is a freeware role-playing video game released in 2004, and is the prequel of the Aveyond series. Borrowing elements from Dragon Warrior and the earlier Final Fantasy games for its gameplay, it offers a fun and familiar experience usually limited to Japanese role-playing games. Unlike the other titles in the Aveyond series, Ahriman's Prophecy was not developed with RPG Maker XP and instead was created with RPG Maker 2003. Ahriman's Prophecy starts as a young girl, Talia Maurva, is sent to be "named", a ritual set up by the people of her village to determine the profession of their adult life. Destiny changes for Talia, who, when looking into the seer's pool, sees a dark ceremony by the younger prince of a nearby kingdom, Candar. He and his dark priest were attempting to resurrect the dead warlock emperor, Ahriman, whose history in battle and warfare is legendary. The seer, sensing that Talia is different, sends her and her escort to a school of magic in the mainland city of Thais. Devin Perry, a friend of Talia's, agrees to escort her to the mainland. Just after she completes her training three years later, Talia is summoned into a dream by her headmaster and a high priestess of the dreamland. They want her to slip across the continent to warn another order of priestesses that Ahriman is being resurrected, and that the prophecy surrounding his resurrection must be stopped before the thirteenth moon. Confused and disorientated, Talia nevertheless sets out on a journey that may pave the way to some peace in the world. | ||

This is a role-playing game in which you play a servant to "the Divine" whose purpose in life is to oppose Evil at every turn. Instead of having a traditional "party", your only companion is your enemy .. a Death Knight soul-forged to you by a vengeful demon. Neither you nor your disgruntled, somewhat comical "soul mate" like the arrangement and would rather be free of each other as soon as possible. So together you take off in search of a way to undo the forging. The game plays out in 4 Acts over a huge territory. You begin in a dungeon-like jail and progress out into the open landscape (once escaping your prison). Explore an imp village, a monster-infested forests, atmospheres of fire and ice as well as numerous mysterious islands on your journey. There are over 140 different non-player characters including friendlies and monsters of various types. More than 300 sub-quests can be discovered by interacting with the NPCs, many of which are entirely optional. In addition to the main game questing, there are separate "battlefield" areas within each Act that have nothing to do with the main plot but are accessed by finding special keys in the main game. Intended to help you increase your skills, these accessory areas have more quests, multi-leveled dungeons as well as merchants and special objects that cannot be found anywhere else. The game is both keyboard and mouse controlled and is played out entirely in 3rd person, isometric perspective. Your character can be a male or female and there is a choice of several classes chosen during the character generation process. You control your "henchman" Death Knight in the same manner you would any other party member. Like your own character, you provide him with equipment and direction while exploring and battling. He can carry just as much (sometimes more) inventory and has his own abilities and skills. Although there are occasional in-game references to Larian's previous title, Divine Divinity, Beyond is not a sequel to Divine. It does use the same basic engine as the previous game but with improved party control, new interaction with objects and the environment. | ||

This is a non-canon installment in the Avernum series. It comes with four pre-installed scenarios, three of which are only available after game purchase. The Valley of Dying: Explore the world of magic and sorcery and find the secret to the mysterious plague. A Small Rebellion: A group of rebels formed against the empire, will you fight them or join them? The Za-Khazi Run: Quest your way through a dangerous river and try to save your allies on the other side before time runs out. Diplomacy With the Dead: Help a small city fight a powerful vampire. Its most notable feature is a free scenario creation kit that can be downloaded and used to make scenarios that can be distributed to other players. It has come under fire for being "too complex" in comparison to Blades of Exile, its predecessor, which used a very simple instruction list instead of a script system. On the other hand, it has also been praised for allowing many new possibilities using said script system, which couldn't be achieved with the Blades of Exile system. Spiderweb Software has released the source code for the editor and allows others to make enhanced versions and add-ons, which a number of players have done. The most notable adaptation of the editor is a 3D editor, which allows the user to view and edit a project using axonometric in-game view. | ||

For an unknown reason, the sacred goddess shrine on the Shu mountain was destroyed. The head of a kung-fu school, Xu Changqing, ordered a young disciple named Nangong Huang to look for Qinleng, a Chinese deity who has the knowledge of Wu Ling, "five spiritual wheels". Only with the help of this knowledge is it possible to restore peace in China. Nangong Huang accepts the mission, willing to prove he is worthy to be the disciple of Shu mountain school, the most highly esteemed school of kung-fu. The young man is not afraid of the dangers that he will have to face, since he is well trained in acrobatics and powerful sword magic. However, he is quite inexperience in love - and among other dangers, that is precisely what awaits him in his adventure. This waizhuan (side-story) to the third game in Xianjian Qixia Zhuan series is not directly connected to it story-wise, but graphically and gameplay-wise the two are nearly identical. It utilizes the same fully 3D graphical engine, role-playing system, and turn-based battles with visible regular enemies, an indicator that shows the speed of your and the enemies' actions (allowing additional strategies), and two kinds of energy bars for special techniques. | ||

Dark Disciples is another (freeware) Rogue-like hybrid RPG game, similar in many aspects although in this RPG it does not really recognize any "classes" found in other RPG's. The class system however is replaced by an attribute system of 7 statistics that represent the "class" of the character. If one would prefer a "Warrior" role, the Strength stat would be increased compared to the "Dexterity" stat of a Thief or the "Intelligence" stat of a Mage. The gameplay is fairly straight-forward, the character may interact with various NPC's which offer mini-quests, training, goods or other information related to your quest. There are also various approaches in handling a problem, although most are usually the Warrior-brute force approach or the Thief-skill approach. | ||

The Revelation is an addon free for the internet download release of Demise v1.01. It adds more of everything to the game: 3 new levels to explore, 60+ new items, 70+ new monsters, 3 new guilds quests, new monster/item only spells. As well as the new content it offers many bug fixes and tweaks. To fully experience the expansion (to play in new areas) it is recommended you have at least one character with one or more guilds at level 300+. In other words, you need to be comfortable on levels 28, 29 and be able to go one on one with The Ku'tan Jenal. But even if you are not ready to try the new areas, the changes and fixes in existing levels alone are worth the upgrade. | ||

Devil Hunter: Seeker of Power is an atmospheric romp in the shoes of a man betrayed. It follows the tale of Solian as he attempts to put his life to rights again after the betrayal of the woman he loved and the friends he once relied upon. He also happens to be a well-known fighter of Demons, to boot. Devil Hunter was made in RM2K3 and utilizes custom skill and menu systems. The biggest draw of the game is that it doesn't try to be anything more than an RPG Maker game and does such solidly. It has a great story and neat atmosphere, utilizing sound quite well throughout the game. The systems within work well and battles are reasonably balanced so as to aid in the completion and yes, it is one of the few complete classic RPGs and, if I am not mistaken, a winner of at least one Misao award in the past. Where the game does falter is the characterization. While the plot in and of itself is quite interesting, the dialogue could use a little fixing. Grammar and spelling mistakes are found with-in but not so much that you notice them at every turn. And though most characters are quite dull, there are a few who shine quite nicely when compared to the rest of the cast. A classic game that deals with learning to live again after betrayal and laying one's bad emotions (and enemies) to rest, Devil Hunter is a game worth playing if only to experience a solid, classic game with great atmosphere and sound use, interesting story and custom evented systems. | ||

In the dawn of mankind, many creatures strived for survival. Among these creatures, there were some more powerful than others; intelligent and magic creatures, which knew men were intelligent beings as they were, and which feared that mankind would someday rule the world. Those creatures haunted mankind, and often kidnapped their children. Some of those children managed to grow up, learning the creatures magical secrets, becoming known as mages. As time passed the mages ended up gathering themselves, and started to search for a way to free mankind from the creatures' constant assaults. They eventually found out a way: they would open a portal to banish the creatures in an other world. But to do so, they would give up their lives so one of them would absorb all their powers. Hur was chosen to perform the task, which he did... but the spell was stronger than planned, and some human groups were dragged to the other side with the creatures. Knowing what happened, Hur decided to cross the portal and lock the passage from the inside, gathering the human groups under his guidance. This new world was called Erinia. The rest, as they say, is history... Erinia was the first Brazilian MMORPG with some elements of Brazilian folklore and religions. All monsters in Erinia are based on Brazilian myths, such as the Sací, and the spell system is based on Afro-Brazilian religious rituals (known as macumba). However, the world of Erinia is a basic medieval/fantasy world. The game takes place in the Tuorhence continent, in which are placed three cities: Aquilonius, Erynian and Hesperius, which are in constant war. New players start at Aquilonius, but can enlist themselves as citizens of any of the three cities. The character creation lets the player chose gender, skin color, hair color, and hairstyle. Each character has 6 basic attributes: Strength, Constitution, Agility, Dexterity, Mind and Spirit. There are no fixed classes in Erinia, but the player can basically emphasize the characters attributes in order to produce a Warrior (with more Strength and Constitution) or a Mage (with more Mind and Spirit). Besides the attributes, the characters also start with two abilities: Battle Concentration and Avoidance. Through the game, new abilities can be learnt, giving focus to the character's class. In regards to the gameplay, Erinia isn't different from other hack'n'slash RPGs in the vein of Diablo: all actions are point-and-click oriented. The character has an inventory and quick item menu (accessed through the F keys). The equipments have attribute requirements, and some of them have magic effects. At any time the player can check his position on a city or world map, where the NPCs are shown by blue dots. Some of them can teach you new abilities, and some can give you quests to fulfill. Besides the pre-defined in game quests, there are cities wars that happen every once in a while, organized by the game masters. In these wars, the two cities with less inhabitants assigned fight against the larger one. If a character dies, he/she is re-spawned at the closest re-spawn point. All the characters belongings return with him/her, unless the character did chose to be a Renegade. In this case, the character is allowed to duel with other player's characters, but if he/she dies, looses all his belongings. As of Nov/2006, the game was made freeware. | ||

In the future, Norrath has been struck by a major disaster, which has caused most of the world's prominent civilizations to crumble into anarchy. The world is now clearly polarized between Good and Evil, and the choice of alignment determines whether the player starts in benevolent Qeynos or seedy Freeport. The nature of the quests depends on the player's alignment and there is one special "betrayal quest" that actually allows the player to switch sides. EverQuest II features an updated 3D engine compared to its predecessor. The game introduces a new storyline with over 130 hours of spoken dialogue by all NPCs. The player is now entitled to own real estate, ride horses, sail ships and can now recover health faster in-between battles. The game at first no longer offers player vs. player combat, even though the players could align themselves with the forces of evil if they so desire. Dedicated player versus player (PvP) servers were added in February 2006. Players choose between several classic fantasy races, along with three original ones and four basic classes: fighter, scout, mage, or priest. Later on, they can acquire more specialized classes and subclasses at important level "thresholds". The game supports an advanced guild system, which allows guilds to compete with one another and compare their strengths via a "team-level" feature. On December 6, 2011 it updated from being a subscription based game to a Free to Play / Subscription game. At the end of October 2012, Krono was added which works like the Plex currency in EVE Online: it allows players to buy an in-game item for real money that adds 30 days of Gold subscription to the account. | ||

This is a game set in an apocalyptic future ruled by different gangs that fight each other to survive. The player takes the role of a lonesome mercenary who joins the "Government of the New Order", an organization that looks rather fair in comparison to others. Once a member, the player chooses five other soldiers to serve the organization while looking for some answers about what happened to his family. This is a 3D party-based role-playing game, mostly oriented to combat and controlled by a point-and-click system. Some other remarkable features of the game are the usual day-night transitions with realistic routines for the NPCs, realistic flora and fauna, the possibility to travel using vehicles and secondary party members with their own story and personality. In Apr/2005, an Extended Version was released that adds new voice acting, improved graphics, better balance, bug fixes and two new maps with NPCs and quests. With a simultaneously released patch, owners of the previous release can upgrade their game without charge. In Aug/2006, a Reloaded version was released that included all previously released patches. The update adds new weapons, areas and quests, as well as graphical changes. The game was sold directly for a budget price. In 2007, an fan-made English patch for all in-game text was released. | ||

And so your adventure begins. Demon Stone is a Dungeons and Dragons Forgotten Realms action RPG. Take control of three heroes: Rannek the fighter, Illius the sorcerer and Zhai the rogue as they try to destroy the evil unleashed by the breaking of the Demon Stone.

Each character has his/her own attack and can perform combos by pressing certain button combinations, and even perform team attacks and a team super attack. As you gain experience you will gain levels in which you can purchase new moves (combos) or upgrade new ones with experience points. You will also be able to collect gold in which you will be able to purchase new weapons and armor at the end of the chapters. It's from the developers of The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers and the story is written by New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore. It also features the voices of Patrick Stewart as Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsen and Michael Clarke Duncan as Ygorl.

This takes place in a land where religion is illegal and the Inquisitors do their best to destroy it. Ever since the GodSlayer sword was used to destroy the God of the Land, religion became taboo. In the years following, the sword was used by the descendants of the man who slew the God of the Land to control the lands. Through sacrifices to appease the hunger for blood that the sword had, the descendants worked to rule through tyranny. Finally, these descendants were defeated and the sword held in safe-keeping by monks. This is where your story begins. You are marked with a God Symbol (a mark some people have from birth that marks them as possibly able to become a mage) and are a female Inquisitor mage. You were sent to destroy the GodSlayer sword, but when you arrive, it has been stolen. So begins your main quest... to capture and destroy the sword. The game is a typical isometric RPG, but with many features not seen in other games of this genre. Every equipable item has an attunement. If you use the item long enough, you will learn that attunement. Attunements can be magical abilities, or skills. In order to learn all the attunements, you will need to use all the items you find. This makes it important to actually use everything you find rather than sticking to a single weapon/armor combination. Your character has a limited number of attunement slots that can be active at one time. As you gain levels, this number will increase somewhat. It will be up to you to decide what attunements you want to have active at any one time. For example, if you plan to use a Fire-imbued sword, you will want to use an attunement to add fire damage to your sword. Having an active attunement to add lightning damage (air magic) to your weapon will not help as the magic types are different. One of the most important features of the game is the Dreamworld. This alternate world can only be accessed for short periods of time (unless you are using the Dreamform attunement). In this world, you will find bonuses that will help your stats, as well as dangers. Ghosts are found in this world, as are werewolves and other creatures. Most creatures and people can only be seen in either the real world or the dreamworld, and not both. This can make switching between the worlds a way to escape danger. As you gain experience, you will want to improve your main skills (melee, range attack, magic, etc). These skills start out at an F (think school grades), and can be improved from there for every 100 improvement points. You will have the opportunity to improve 800 points worth when you create your character. One final unique feature to mention is that healing items never disappear. However, you will lose maximum HP every time you use them. The maximum HP will remain lost until you rest at a campfire, inn, or your house (if you bought it). Expect your actions to have consequences as the game reacts to your actions. Choose the path of good or evil and expect to have different reactions from others. Your path will determine the ending to the game, from 6 different endings. The gameplay is similar to other games of this genre. You will need to explore the world around you, talk to NPCs, improve your stats and skills, and battle enemies in real time. | ||

The year is 2083, and the world is no longer the way it was before. Huge cities, surrounded by a heavy fog, populated by assassins, robots, and mutants - this is the future of mankind. After a prolonged cold war, the might on the Earth became concentrated in the hands of seven mega-corporations. Those corporations are fighting each other, and no means are dirty enough for them. They hire hackers to destroy security systems of hostile corporations: thieves to steal valuable documents; mercenaries to kill those who stand in their way. You are cast into this world and are able to choose one of the four available characters to play. The four characters are: a mercenary, a yakuza fighter, a female hacker, and a female user of psionic technique. Each character has his/her own background story, and while playing the game as one of the characters, you encounter others as NPCs. Restricted Area is an action RPG. The game is heavy on combat, in which you can equip various weapons (melee weapons, different types of guns, such as for example plasma rifles, etc.) and fight using physical attacks or psionic "spells". You can also develop your characters' skills of various kinds, and make decisions during conversations that will influence the course of the game. | ||

Sacred is an action role playing game set in the fantasy world of Ancaria. You can choose from six different characters - Dark Elf, Battle Mage, Gladiator, Forest Elf (a female archer), Vampire Lady and Seraphim (a descendant of arch angels). Your mission is to save Ancaria from evil which comes in form of Shaddar, a Necromancer who spent his days creating monsters to roam the plane. Each character starts out in a different location, but all of them are quite near to each other. Besides the main quests, which are divided into four so-called "acts", you'll get to solve more than 500 different subquests, of which some are randomly assigned. While the main quest doesn't get you anything but to continue in the storyline, the subquests award you experience, gold and sometimes items. The character system is different to other games of this type, since your character can not "learn" the spells or skills he (or you) wants to use, but needs to find "runes". These runes can be read, which gives the character +1 to a certain skill. Besides this, with each level up, you can assign stat points - strength, dexterity, mental regeneration for spells, physical regeneration for life replenish and so on. The character level is not limited, it's possible to gain levels way over 100 but this of course takes time. Also, the skills are not limited; if you want, you can read 200 runes with one skill and thus have level 200 on one skill, but this has a severe disadvantage: the skills get more powerful, but they take more time to regenerate at higher levels (which can lead to extremely powerful attacks which can be performed once in 4 minutes, rendering them unusable). The size of the world can be compared to Baldur's Gate, but here, it's all in 3D. There are large towns and small villages, all with different inhabitants, different vendors and of course, many quests to solve. Travelling through the world can take hours, that's why the game boasts horses to ride on, which of course make the player much faster, but can be killed by monsters as well. The game features single player and network, open and closed internet play on four difficulty levels with up to 16 players at once. Player-killing is not possible in normal games, but it's possible to open special Player-vs-Player games where no quests are active, but players may be killed. Hardcore play is also possible - which means that once you're dead, the character stays dead forever (normally, you just respawn in town, the character loses neither experience nor gold). Sacred Plus is a "producer's cut" re-release at a budget price with all the patches that incorporate the feedback from the community since the original release. Plus was available as a free patch that added improved multiplayer experience, smoother interface and some balancing of items and quests. It also includes an expansion with two new regions, many new quests, five new opponents and lots of new items, weapons and armour.

Many classic ships are available to fly - including the TIE fighter, TIE Advanced (Vader's ship), Y-Wing, X-Wing, and the KSE Firespray (Boba Fett's ship from Empire Strikes Back). Other famous, non-controllable ships include the tri-winged Imperial shuttle, the Corellian Corvette (Leia's Tantive IV from the opening scene in A New Hope) and even a massive Star Destroyer that can be attacked and destroyed inside a PvP battleground. Ace pilots earn the ability to fly massive "player-on-board" craft appropriate to their faction, such as the YT-1300 (Millennium Falcon) for Freelancers. These ships have interiors that allow grouped players to move around inside, store items, or even man turrets and fix systems damaged during combat. Each pilot profession has three unique story-driven series of missions, with a different series of trainers (some of which are notable Star Wars characters) that lead you from rookie pilot to ace. The expansion also adds four new player professions that directly support starship combat and starship construction, and two new player races - Ithorians ("Hammerheads" in A New Hope) and Sullustans (Lando's co-pilot in Return of the Jedi). | ||

In addition to the existing 3 occupations (Samurai, Ninja and merchant) in Taikō Risshiden IV, the game introduces more occupations: sword master, pirate, doctor, tea master and blacksmith. It also improved the card collection system and the number of characters. The game follows the card system used in Taikō Risshiden IV, with new professions added. A number of playable warlords are expanded to 800 for Windows. Non-combat characters include foreign missionaries, monks, and wives of the military lords. There are four overseas bases that pirates and merchants can travel to: Naha (Ryukyu, now part of Japan), Busan (Korea), Ningbo (Ming China), and Luzon (in the Philippines). The military commander graphics were changed from the manga style of version III and IV to a graphic novel, or gekiga style, adopted from the format employed in a title named Nobunaga's Ambition. While each of the internal affairs and training sessions were presented in mini-games in Taikō Risshiden IV unless you change options in PlayStation 2 edition or later, in this version it is possible to opt out and skip those mini-games. However, when the player skips those mini-games, technical points will not be gained on ability score, and there are events that the player is challenged with the mini-games, even when opted to skip them. Like the previous PlayStation 2 version, players on Windows will gain new modes according to the number of cards gained during the play. The function to edit warlord data is employed when all docks are collected, to replace the Power Up Kit used in other Koei titles. When creating a special commander or warrior, the player designs the appearance. For instance, the player chooses and arranges facial features, props, and clothing that are not available to choose from among preset outlooks. It is in this version that a female warlord can be chosen for the first time, as well as the player being able to register and maneuver up to 40 characters along with the main warlord at the same time. | ||

| True Sabre / Zhen Yi Tian Tu Long Ji [Ch] | Soft-World | [top] | |

Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre is a culmination of Jin Yong's martial arts trilogy, a stand-alone masterpiece. Heaven and Dragon come back, for a martial arts resurgence reincarnation. Unrivaled martial arts secret applications: knives, swords, boxing, martial arts stick are used by the dominant clan an you journey along rivers and lakes. You have complete control over the future Wuji martial skills. Story wise, it follows the original story quite closely, but you play as a fictional created character, not just the main 3 Tian Long character like other games, and you can get involved in several important events in the novel and decide the fate of those original characters. Not only can you allow the plot to follow the original story, you're allowed to change some of the outcomes too if you wish, and make some original sad endings into a happy one. Your main character can even learn most of the famous Wu Gong in the novel if you discovered how to. Gameplay wise, it's like a traditional 2D RPG. You explore the map and town, meeting NPC and doing many many side quests or triggering the advancement of the main plot. You shop for equipment and items like any other classic RPG, or get them through event or quest. Personally I felt they did a good work in balance between maintaining the original feel of the novel, as well as adding new favor and surprise for players, even those who are already familiarize with how the original story go. You can develop relationship with one of the 3 main female characters, one of which is a character from the original novel in the game too. And you can also take the path of evil and good, but this choice affects the items and Wu Gong you get, rather than the main plot. The difference in the main plot is relying on how you treated and control the fate of Qiao Feng throughout the game, not how evil or good your character is (though some choices availability to save or sabo Qiao Feng might depend on your alignment at that time). Battle is also the traditional 45 degree 2D top-down view. It's a half turn base real-time fighting like Final Fantasy, you can only perform action when your time-bar reach certain length, the longer your time-bar increased, the more powerful an attack you can perform, but it also meant your enemy are jumping at you while you wait for your time-bar to grow. You can only control your main character out of 3 characters participate in a battle, while the other 2 are controlled by AI which you can chose a general directive for them to act upon, but lousy AI isn't too much a worry under such battle system. If recall correctly, you can have up to 6 NPC in a party, but at one time only 3 will do the fighting, you can change the fighting party order anytime you want, even during the battle. One thing good about Tian Long is that all Wu Gong not only come with acceptable and some great visual effects, you character will shout out their Chinese name as they activate the Wu Gong. Your Wu Gong will also improve as you used them, the more you use, the more powerful they will become. | ||

Directly control Joan of Arc or one of the other commanders on missions that relive some of Joan of Arc's more important years in the war. This is the RPG side where you will combat the enemies one on one with some help from a few troops you pick up. Use combos (a series of mouse clicks like AA, AB, AAB etc.) to perform powerful attacks. Gain experience to level up and receive points to increase your stats as well as combo points to enhance your combos or learn new ones. You can switch between the four main characters anytime if they are in your group as they will gain experience and grow stronger also. As you complete more missions and become more powerful you will be able to control armies to lay siege to castles. Switch to RTS mode (an overhead isometric view) and rally your troops to fight for you then switch back to RPG mode (a third person mode for melee and first person mode for range attacks) and fight in the heart of the battle. Assign troops to each of the four main commanders and switch back and forth between them during the battle. Build siege weapons to conquer castles to once again bring France back under control from England. | ||

This is a MMORPG based in the Warcraft universe which became, with over 8 million subscribers as of March 2013, the most popular MMO ever. The player creates a character choosing from 8 races and 9 classes. Most races start in their own part of the vast world. As the races move out from their starting locations, they can meet the other races if they choose to move out through the world. Both races and classes have unique abilities, skills, and spells to help them survive in the world. The game offers professions for players to learn, if they want. You have the choice of 2 major professions, such as Alchemy, Herbalism, Skinning, and Tailoring, as well as the ability to have unlimited minor professions, such as Fishing and Cooking. Progressing in these skills allows you to make more things or have better results from the skills. The gameplay is similar to most other MMORPG games, where you must go out into the world, complete quests, kill monsters, and level up your character. And, as often is the case, you also will want to find, make, or buy better equipment as you go along. There are multiple levels of equipment from normal to artifact based on rarity. The player can also join various guilds and parties. You also can move quickly between areas by learning to ride a mount when your level is high enough, or taking another form of transport that you can't control movement for, such as train, griffon, and more. On Aug 26/2019, World of Warcraft Classic was released that is a server option running alongside the main version of the game. It recreates the game in the state it was in before the release of the first expansion, The Burning Crusade. | ||

For centuries the Dwarves have guarded the underground passages and fortresses beneath the world. But now a monstrous horde led by evil wizards has taken over these passages. It's up to a Wizard and a Warrior to stop these villains and take back all that is theirs and restore order to the world. This is the third outing for the Brave Dwarves in this series of platform adventures. As a Wizard or Warrior you will have to collect all the treasures and keys on each of the one hundred levels to move on to the next. At your arsenal you will have a bevy of weapons and powers to use that you will pick up from power orbs scattered through the levels. These power orbs will also add strength to existing weapons and each colour of orb denotes a different kind of power-up. Most of the Warrior's weapons are axe-like and naturally the Wizard's weapons are spell based. Enemies are for the most part the usual suspects in all the different worlds of the game, from crawling caterpillars, to walking skeletons, to bats there's not many more for you to meet. Each world is guarded by a boss character who range from the aforementioned evil wizards to even a robotic contraption. Naturally as is in most platform games the player must also be on the lookout for hazards and pitfalls that he/she may fall prey to. The worlds of the game present new backdrops for the the player to play against. The adventure will take the player from a conventional underground caverns, to a robotic factory, and even to two different castles. Once you are finished with this set of adventures there are 11 level sets available for download from the developer's website. | ||

This is another part of the adventures of a friendly troll named after Hugo, whom Polish players know mainly from Polsat television. This production, in terms of plot is a continuation of the two previous parts with the same title. The protagonist once again embarks on an exciting journey into the eponymous islet where the sinister witch Scyllia reigns. Together with his children, Hugo - or indeed the user - has to foil the plans of his greatest eternal enemy. In the course of the game we come across seven arcade mini-games: a young player collects diamonds, helps free the poor few, and takes part in a crazy battle of beetles and a memory game. Solving further tasks we will visit, among others, ancient Egypt and a unique place called Cafe Music. Different levels of difficulty (three levels) make it easy for children aged 6 to 12 years to solve puzzles, while the full, professional Polish language version combined with a less clumsy audio-visual setting makes the children of older players eagerly reach for this title. | ||

| Kaptein Sabeltann [Nor] | Artplant AS / PAN Vision AB | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

This is a game based on the Norwegian fictional pirate of the same name, known in English as Captain Sabertooth. Captain Sabertooth originally appeared in theatre plays by the singer and actor Terje Formoe, but has since been adapted into books and cartoons for children. The player takes control of Spinky (or Tiny as he is also known as), a young boy working at the captain's ship The Black Lady. Spinky dreams about becoming a real pirate and therefore he needs to help Captain Sabertooth in finding Red Ruby's treasure. The aim of the game is to find all parts of the treasure map so that the treasure can be located. For each piece of the map that is found the player is able to sail to the next level. The player navigates Spinky through the 3D worlds of the game from a behind-the-shoulder third-person perspective. The gameplay involves platform jumping, sword fighting and puzzle solving. Interaction with the world is done by pressing the space button at specific locations to perform a specific task. This includes for example jumping over obstacles, moving objects or talking with characters. Throughout the game Spinky will find gold which can be used to buy necessary equipment. First he needs a sword to fight the bad guys that he comes across. He also need to buy a lantern to move through dark locations and a shovel to dig away obstacles or find treasure. The fights are simple and involve the player pressing the space button to lash out against the enemy. Enemies include pirates and skeletons which can fought in sword duels. Spinky will also encounter monkeys that need to be scared away and crabs that can't be fought and therefore have to be avoided. Each level ends with a boss fight that is tougher than the regular enemy encounters and forces the player to figure out the weakness of the boss. Since the game is aimed at children, there is no death in the game. Enemies that are defeated will simple get knocked out. Between levels the player gets to navigate the captain's ship with the mouse. Here the player can be attacked by enemy pirate ships. When this happens Spinky gets to take control of a cannon from a first-person perspective and shoot at the opposing ship. The aim is to destroy all three cannons of the enemy ship. | ||

This is a remake of a 1984 platformer from Elite Legends that was only released on ZX Spectrum among other older computers but not on PC. Legend has it that several hundred years ago in a province in Northern Europe there lived a great magician who was known to the people of the time as Ulrich. Ulrich discovered that there had once existed the legendary Dragon Amulet, fragments of which had been scattered throughout time and he commanded his athletic protege, Kokotoni Wilf, to recover the fragments for him. Ulrich sent Wilf back in time more than 500 million years to a time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. The only help he was able to offer Wilf was to provide him with a set of wings to aid his search. Only when all of the fragments had been collected from a time-period was Ulrich able to give Wilf further help by creating a glowing Time-Gate. When located, the Time-Gate enabled Wilf to travel to another period where more fragments of the Amulet were to be found. | ||

This platformer is based on the series of comics of the same name (apparently, known only at home). The game was published in 2004 - at the same time with the full-length cartoon, drawn in anime-style and bearing the same name. There is a clever and courageous fair-haired boy who is armed with a huge magic hammer, and also knows how to drive an airplane; One day, while flying his vehicle, he “stumbles” into the battle of two airships (namely ships): the first of them, flooded with pirates, takes the second one to the boarding, where the beautiful big-eyed princess is trying (unsuccessfully) to protect pointed-headed creatures. A squad of pirates is commanded by a giant robot with a square head and several of its "henchmen", looking rather strange. The boy with the help of his hammer quickly deals with the pirates, with the "henchmen", but the robot itself is too tough for him. The latter takes the princess to his ship - and our hero tries to follow him, clinging to the boarding rope - but the robot drops him down, after which the boy wakes up in a certain "Sleeping city", resembling a post-apocalyptic New York, almost completely flooded . From here he will have to begin his journey with the aim of freeing the kidnapped princess - which will occupy five levels. It's clearly aimed at a children's audience. The hero has only three "lives" (although it will be possible to extract additional ones later) and a certain amount of health (depicted in the form of three hearts at the top of the screen); There are very few enemies, and the first of them do not appear at the beginning of the game, but the main danger here is not enemies, but objects of the environment: there are a huge number of ways to die instantly. In particular, at the first level, we have to run and jump on narrow surfaces surrounded by water, which ends in a momentary death for a boy, - and it is necessary not just to “not take extra steps to the side,” but also to jump holes in the floorings, and wait until the powerful jets of water run out, sometimes raising sewer manholes on our way. There will be many other dangers: giant swaying metal balls, cars floating in water, on the roofs of which it is impossible to linger for a long time, because they tend to sink, and so on. Some obstacles are quite capable of taking away part of the health stock - for example, electric fencing, through which you will have to jump in a non-trivial way (yes, sometimes jumps are required along oblique, and even more complex, trajectories). sometimes elevating manholes on our way.

In the event of the loss of "life", the character is reborn at a visually unnoticed "control point" - as a rule, not far from the place of death. After all the “lives” have been spent, the level will have to be restarted; The latter is available an infinite number of times, but the ability to save the game in an arbitrary place is missing. Bonuses are represented by blue crystals - after collecting a certain amount of them you can get an extra "life". Opponents are rare, and battles with them are not very difficult, although there is one unusual circumstance: when approaching the adversary it is necessary to strike with a hammer (it seems that the hero does not rely on other weapons), always remaining outside the orange circle, "encircling" space around the villain - in other words, this can only be done in a jump. In addition to ordinary opponents, there will also be bosses (creatures with a solid supply of health, displayed on the screen in the form of a “life bar”), battles with which no longer have the mentioned limitation. | ||

Remake of Monty on the Run, a beloved platformer computer game created by the software house Gremlin Graphics and originally released in 1985 for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Commodore Plus/4, written by Peter Harrap for the ZX Spectrum with music by Rob Hubbard. Monty Mole was imprisoned due to his coal theft in the game "Wanted: Monty Mole", and rescued by Sam Stoat in "Monty is Innocent". Now he has to get out of Britain while he still can. Like the original, the game is a flick-screen platformer with puzzly leanings.

Not all parts of all screens can be accessed at once. You will need to collect money and other items along the way. Before starting the game, you must choose five items from a selection of 21 to form your 'Freedom Kit' – correct selections are essential to complete the game, and a degree of trial and error is required to know which ones are correct. Super fit and desperate for freedom, Monty makes his daring escape from scudmore prison. Hounded by the bastions of law and order, our hero finds refuge with the criminal underworld who offer him his chance to breath fresh air and bask in the sunlight once again. Moving from safehouse to hideout to underground lair. On his way Monty must collect gold coins that will make him a mole of leisure. At last he's free but can he make the cross channel ferry on time? In 2005, another remake was released by Space-Time Games. In 2021, a Gameboy DMG and Gameboy Color versions were released by Rajcsányi László based on the Commodore 16 graphics. | ||

The style of the static screen is like that of Super Mario Bros. The penguins can toss bombs at enemies and tnt barrels. There are swiveling platform areas at different sections where you can stand and turn to go to the platform above or below and if you toss bombs while swiveling, the bombs will fly further. Cd-shaped keys will be dropped by enemies and bosses must also be defeated. | ||

It's a side-scrolling 'shoot-em up' game that has retained some of the elements of the arcade game such as ammunition styles (the 3-way expanding shots, the 'power' ammunition), but also adds new gameplay mechanics such as a 'bullet-time' feature called Overclocking, which is accomplished by collecting gray OCP icons, and upgrades to RoboCop's armor and systems by collecting gold OCP icons, as well as a special one-time use weapon that creates a 'rain of fire' effect that kills mostly all enemies in an area. It also features a special time attack mode and minigames that allow new features such as additional minigames and cheat codes to be unlocked. | ||

A classic amateur platformer with a Christmas theme. We play as Santa Claus, move to the right with a side view, collect bonuses and destroy/avoid enemies, including gifts with legs, snowmen and others. At first, you are given as many as nine lives, and you can get an additional one for every hundred collected candy canes, which come in two types: regular and gold (one of which counts as ten simple ones). Sometimes there are other bonuses, but they only increase the score. In total, it has several worlds with five levels each, plus an additional mini-level with a boss, the first of which is a giant snowman. Despite the large number of lives, the game is by no means simple: firstly, any contact with the enemy is fatal (the level starts over, but the collected canes remain, appearing again), and secondly, you will have to jump a lot and accurately, but this is not it always works out. According to the author, the game is an imitation of Super Mario Bros., so in addition to the extra life for a hundred items, there are other borrowings, such as secret rooms in pipes. The graphics resolution is only 320x240, but everything looks simple and pleasant, “like the good old days.” | ||

Help Santa get to the ginger bread king's castle and retrieve the stolen toys before Christmas. It placed 1st in the daily click Christmas competition 2004. Essentially it's a Mario game with a holiday theme. The controls are very non responsive like you would expect if you were walking on real ice or snow. It has very nice holiday tunes that are familiar to all. Nothing is saved; no high score, no preferences etc. The game however, will run in a window or full screen. The menus (including help) are very well done in a Christmassy theme too. | ||

| T4 Funeral | Dex | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a superb fanmade side-scrolling platformer built with level editor that was included with T2002, another great Turrican fanmade game (so one could more accurately call the game a "total conversion" of T2002). The game features huge levels, smooth animations, and the same top-notch gameplay that makes Turrican series one of the best shooters ever made. There is no plot to speak of - just shoot everything in sight. There is a lot of power-ups to use, including the very cool jetpack that lets you fly. All the levels are newly created for this game, with all-new graphics and sounds to match. These levels look and play great, although some background graphics are not as detailed or "3D-looking" (e.g. with appropriate shadows) as they could be. If you have played Turrican before, T4 Funeral is a well-made labor of love that is worthy of the name "Turrican." The difficulty level is just right in this one, too - T2002 was a bit too hard for some. With a lot of new graphics, sound effects, and even voice acting, T4 Funeral is worth playing. The game is quite large, owing to high-quality soundtrack and graphics, but the fun is worth it. | ||

This is a platformer with gorgeous animation based on the Italian animated movie of the same name. The story takes place in Naples in 1700. Totò Sapore is a poor young boy who, for a living, sings and accompanies himself on guitar. But Totò dreams of becoming a great chef. One day he meets Totò Pulcinella, who makes him a present of four pots (Pentolito, Marmittone, Tegamino Sora and Pasta) with the magic power to confer a succulent taste all the dishes prepared.

| Treasure Island Dizzy | The Oliver twins / Codemasters | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This was the second game in the Dizzy series but only came out on the PC in a free emulated version of the C64 game. This game is quite different to its predecessor, with a new inventory system and improved animations. The game notably contains fewer enemies than the previous with the game more centred around inventory based problem solving. The aim of the game is to solve various puzzles in order to obtain a boat so that Dizzy can return to his friends and family, the Yolkfolk. To do this Dizzy must journey through haunted mines, tree villages, as well as underwater. The game also features a subquest (albeit one essential to completing the game) in which thirty gold coins must be collected. Critics consider this one of the most difficult Dizzy games as the energy bar system of later titles was not yet implemented and Dizzy is provided with only one life. Also unique to this game, the player is unable to select any particular item from the inventory for use - Dizzy simply puts down whichever item is at the top of the list. It therefore requires more foresight and planning than the other games in the series. Adding to the diffculty of the game was the fact that the player had two main tasks to complete; the escape from the islands, and the collection of the thirty coins. Given that a number of the coins were hidden behind scenery, this second task proved to be more difficult than the main game. | ||

| Vintergatan: Fifunernas Återkomst [Sw] | Teknikhuset i Umeå AB / Pan Vision | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is the second game based on the Swedish television series Vintergatan following Vintergatan: Rädda Jorden! which was released just a few months earlier. It has largely the same gameplay and reuses parts of the assets from the first game. This time the player has to stop an evil space race called the Fifuns from taking over the universe. The Fifuns collect different living beings that they enslave and they suck up all the nature resources from the planets they come across. Like in the first game the player takes control of a space ship that is navigated through various solar systems. What's new is that the player need to use memory modules to open up black holes that allow him to travel to new solar systems. Memory modules have to be created by the player with the use of a machine called the carbon atom processor. This is done by placing various items on the machine which then transform them into a module. Recipes can be found that shows what ingredients are needed. The platforming sections when landing on planets remain largely the same as in the original. One difference is that the player now can use grenades to take out enemies. The mini-games for space duels and dodging asteroids are different. In the original game these were played from a first-person perspective but here they are played from a top-down perspective and works similarly to a fixed screen shoot 'em up. Players who have both games installed will be able to copy their player profiles to the new game and will then get access to an extra solar system to explore. | ||

Take the adventure of a lifetime in a shape matching puzzle game with an African safari or savannah theme. While each of the modes varies in rules, each shares a common method of play: The player's goal is to remove or cover the triangular blocks (often forming a larger image of an animal) from play. The player does this by using an accumulating series of stones (blocks) in various shapes scrolling across the bottom of the screen (the player's "feed area") from right to left. When reaching the left side of the feed area, these pieces start to stack. The player must use (or discard) these pieces as soon as possible for if the stack reaches the right side of the screen, the player loses. Players can rotate the stones they pickup to better fit the blocks they're trying to fill. Occasionally two special power-ups appear: the wand which will magically create stones in the area it's used, and the pickaxe which will smash unwanted stones from the feed area or the play area. The player's score accumulates with stones successfully used and bonus points are awarded for selecting triangular blocks with a spinning star on them. This is packed front to back with hand crafted levels and ingenious game play. Challenge yourself with four distinctly addictive game modes. Traditional mode will keep you on your toes. Strategery lets you plan your moves carefully. Revealer mode will peak your curiosity. Enigma mode provides a relaxing and mind bending puzzle. Features: 4 Amazing Game Modes; Save your progress as your adventure unfolds; Travel through five regions; Over 60 wildlife landscapes. | ||

This is an arcade puzzle game with similar gameplay to Magical Drop. The objective is to guide a space ship that stacks and shoots bricks. As the amount of bricks on top of the screen increases, you need to pop a target number of bricks with matching colours before the rows reach the bottom of the screen. By linking four bricks or more, you create chain reactions. To spice up the gameplay, there are special power-ups such as radial bombs, freeze bombs, column nukes and difficult obstacles such as toxic, steel and stone bricks. Each of the four playable characters has a supa weapon that destroys all bricks on the screen. It can only be used after charging it. There are two playing modes: Classic with weapon upgrades and 32 levels per character and Survival in which you need to stay alive as long as possible. | ||

Bringing Marble Madness to a whole new level, Ballance increases gameplay with many new items not seen in that earlier game. It's a marble/ball game up infinitely high where a fall would never end. You must navigate 12 levels filled with many puzzles you will need to figure out in order to complete the level. This must all be done before your time runs out. Thankfully, there are spots to increase your time throughout the levels. As you progress through the levels, you will have the ability to change your ball between 3 different materials (wood, stone, and paper); all with different properties. For example, the stone ball is slower to get moving and harder to stop. It also will not get up the steeper ramps. But it is needed to move various things out of the way. Maneuver the ball without letting it fall from the platforms and ramps. It may seem fairly easy at first, but as you progress through the levels, the difficulty increases. Can you get your highscore on the official website as a top 10 highscore for each level? | ||

This is a tile matching puzzle game, which consists of two game modes and 150 levels. A level consists of a geometric figure, divided into squares, filled with different aquatic items (pearls, mussels, starfishes, etc.). Now you have to swap two adjacent items so that this will create a chain of at least three items of the same type. Once this happens, the items vanish and new items dropping down from above. Destroy all wooden and metal squares by combining a chain over them and you will finish the level. If you play in timed mode, you only have a limited time. When time runs out, you loose a life. After completing a certain amount of levels, you will unlock different fishes for your personal reef, totaling in 22 different species. In the My Fish Screen, you can set up a new reef, releasing fishes or group of fishes into your own reef and you can even watch your own "aquarium" as long as you want. When you continue your game, this particularly reef will be used as the background, and all the fishes will eventually swim through the game. The game offers two different game modes, whereby the only difference is that the one is time based (playing against the clock), while the other is without any time limits, where you can play a level as long as you want. Finally, it offers a level editor, so you can create your own levels, when those 150 aren't enough. | ||

This is a straightforward tile matching game with three modes, where the player has to make matches of three or more rubber balls of the same type. When lined up, the matching balls fall bouncing from the screen. To move to the next level the player has to empty a ball container at the right side of the screen, that has a number at the top showing the remaining spheres. It keeps adding balls when they are removed from the field. In the swapper mode, the objective is to make matches by swapping adjacent balls, clearing the screen before it is filled to the top with the spheres, added every few seconds from the dispenser at the right side. In the strategy mode, the goal and gameplay are similar to swapper mode, but every time the player swaps balls new spheres are added to the gamefield. In the slider mode, the screen is filled with spheres, and the player has to make matches by dragging rows, columns and diagonal lines with the mouse before the timer, shown as a dynamite stack with a burning wick at the bottom, runs out. | ||

| Collapse! Crunch | GameHouse, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Once again, your mission is to remove a cluster of same colored blocks, at least 3, but the more the better. As soon as these blocks have vanished, the blocks above of them will fall down and filling the gap. And while you remove blocks in the level, the game pumps new rows from the bottom in. So you must remove them faster as new rows appear and the blocks stacking up. Once all rows are in the game, you win. If one block reaches the top, you loose. The game offers four different game modes: ZigZag, Big, Crunch, and Perplexor. Big is the classic Collapse mode. It works like explained above. New rows appearing without doing anything, so waiting too long can be fatal. The speed of new rows increases from the beginning of the level to the end, but also the general speed from level to level. There are two possibilities for new rows: full 28 block rows or 14 block rows with a gap between each block. The gap will change the structure of the blocks in the game (while one vertical row stacks up, the other don't). There are Power-Ups in this game mode, which will help you, but can also hinder. This game mode is identical to Traditional from the predecessor, but is more then double the width, that's why it's called Big. ZigZag is a strategy variant, so new rows only appear when you clear a cluster. ZigZag is referring to the playfield, while the blocks in the other three game modes are ordered in a rectangle, this is ZigZag. Means: odd numbered vertical rows are like normal rows, while the even numbered vertical rows are shifted a half block up. For this game mode, you have infinite time for your movement. Perplexor is similar to the Puzzle Mode from the predecessor. You have to remove all blocks, if one remains, you loose. You also have so much time as you want. The greatest problem in this game mode is, that you can't use all of the blocks at the beginning. The playfield is divided into two different areas. The bottom area looks like in Big and works like in ZigZag. The upper part is partly hidden, but can't be used at all. Once you clear something in the bottom part, blocks from the upper part will drop down. Crunch is the most unique of the four. The playfield has blocks centered at the four edges. In the middle is a big mine, if the blocks hitting the mine, it's Game Over. Instead of putting new lines into the game, now it's just blocks. The new block feed will putting each by each counter-clockwise, moving the inner in one of the two possible directions (block feed from upper right corner will move inner blocks more left or down). So all blocks heading directly to the mine. Once you remove a block cluster, the blocks "beneath" of it will collapse in the direction of the nearest wall. While Big is speeding slowly up, this mode here speeds really fast up, putting multiple blocks in a single second in the game. The Power-Ups, which are available in all game modes, except Perplexor, are both good and bad: Platform Block (don't move, just blocking all), Indestructible Block (moves like a regular block, but can't be removed with normal actions), Color Bomb (will destroy all same colored blocks in it's radius), Super Bomb (will destroy all blocks in it's radius, including Platform/Indestructible), Shifting Block (will move all blocks, including Power-Ups, in it's radius to a new location; it's like randomizing, but without loosing the amount of specific blocks). | ||

This is the precursor to the game Water Bugs. An updated outer space version of the likes of Qix and JezzBall, the object of the game is to divide and clear a certain amount of the playing field. The playing field is filled with enemies who must be evaded and destroyed via being captured within a division. There are also enemies along the border of the playing field who must be treated in the same fashion but unlike their counterparts may fire on you when you are setting off a dividing line. Most enemies walk in random patterns and behave in an unintelligent manner but there are some enemies who will follow your cursor in order to block a division. There are also power-ups to get from destroyed enemies such as missiles, bombs and line enhancers. Look out however for power-downs that will make your job a little harder. | ||

This is a word puzzle game, where you basically have to guess a word or name. When you start a level, you will see at the top the word(s) you have to guess, where all characters are hidden. In the center, there is a 7x7 big screen, filled with different letters. Now you have to create words (three letters or more) in the screen, whereby the first letter of the word will reveal all corresponding places of this particularly letter in the word you search. But you only have 20 turns to reveal letters, otherwise the game will force you to guess the searched word. If you fail the forced guess, it's game over. Besides revealing letters, the word you creates also gives points, which will rise the score meter at the right side of the screen. Once the score meter is at the top, you get an extra turn. So, the longer those word you create are, the more you score, the more bonus turns you get. If you think you can't get any suitable words out of the playfield anymore, you have the option to randomize it, but this will also use one of your spare turns. Once you think you know the searched word, you can guess it. If it was correct, you proceed to the next level. If it was wrong, you have lost another turn. The game also has the option to both store your highscore online, as also to retrieve new words to guess from the internet. | ||

This is a falling-block puzzle game. Individual blocks fall from the top of the screen, and can be moved as needed. If three or more blocks of the same color are touching, they will be removed from the board, blocks on top will fall down, and points will be given. The twist is that all blocks can be flipped, from one color to a second color, before landing. Power-ups include bombs (destroy all nearby blocks), row destroyers (destroy a row), flippers (randomly reflip a row or column), and color destroyers (destroy all matching colors). Special blocks include metal (will crush all blocks underneath, but cannot be matched), and stars (can only be matched with stars). Levels will be completed once enough blocks have been destroyed. Two modes are included. Puzzle mode is level-based, with over 100 levels, and endurance mode just asks you to survive as long as possible. Each can be attempted on three different difficulty levels. Also included is a tutorial. The retail version is bundled with Crystal Wizard. | ||

Originally in arcades in 1985, this is a pc conversion of that original version in a Game Legend series sold in convenience stores. It is Dig Dug's job to protect 72 different tropical islands from his arch rivals, Pooka and the fire breathing Fygar. Played from an overhead point of view, Dig Dug now has two weapons at his disposal; the first is an air pump and the second is a drill. The pump can be used to inflate and destroy the enemies the same as in the original Dig Dug. At various locations on the islands are stakes, and when the drill is used near a stake a crack will form. If enough cracks become connected that section of the island will fall into the ocean, hopefully taking an enemy (and not Dig Dug!) with it. When all of the Pookas and Fygars have been destroyed, the game moves on to the next, more difficult level. The number of playable stages is limited: 1,2,3,6,7,8 and 10. Internet ranking service was provided. | ||

| Hamsterball | Raptisoft, LLC / GameHouse, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
In this game, the player must guide a little hamster trapped in a glass ball through 12 unique levels to reach a designated area marked "GOAL". The gameplay is similar to that of Marble Madness or the more recent Ballance. While completely following the player's will, the little hamsterball is also a subject to the rules of Newtonian physics. So when a ball has gained enough momentum, the player has to overcome a force of inertia while directing the ball in a desired direction. Falling from a considerable height will break the ball and make it reappear in a nearby location. The game doesn't impose a limit on a number of lives the player has, but there's a time limit instead. The amount of time given is varied depending on a difficulty chosen. There are three difficulty levels aptly named: Pipsqueak, Normal and Frenzied. In the beginning of the game, the player is asked to choose a preferable game mode. The Tournament mode requires the player to complete all of the 12 levels in a limited amount of time. So that completing one level faster will give additional time for others. Time-trial mode doesn't put a time limit on a whole game but on each level individually. Completing the tournament mode allows access to a third Mirror Tournament mode, which offers a mirrored version of familiar levels. Each level has a unique feature that distinguishes it from others. It can either have an unusual stylistic solution or introduce a new gameplay element (e.g. variable gravity, spiral staircases, pool of tar etc). After completing all of the levels offered for at least once, the player may compete with his friends in the Party Games section. In a Party Race game, players are challenged to complete the level faster than their opponent, while Rodent Ramble features an arena level in which players try to remove each other from the outlined area. There are total of 12 arena levels, each one corresponding to a specific level in a single-player mode. | ||

| Homerun Mahjong [Ch] | Tianquan Technology / Truetech entertainment corp. | [top] | |

A 16-card mahjong game providing eight characters as objects to play cards with. and other mahjong tours. The difference is that this game combines mahjong and baseball games. From the mahjong tiles, objects and number of tiles, it determines the outcome of baseball pitching and ends with the completion of nine innings. It is a rare game type, especially the background. The music includes the cheering sounds of the cheerleaders and the crowd, which is as exciting as participating in professional baseball. Unfortunately, the score has no impact on the final result, so players still only need to focus on playing mahjong and fail to combine this. The characteristics of the game-like type are highlighted, and the whole game becomes a bit monotonous. However, there is no cheating in the mahjong part of the game. This is worthy of recognition, and the game's card skill AI is also very good. It is difficult for players to win. However, through the method of accessing files, disadvantages can also be turned into advantages. | ||

This includes many classics from previous versions and some extras thrown in. Chess, Backgammon, Checkers, Rummy, Pachisi, Reversi and Dominoes make up the old timers. Dice games include Yacht (Yahtzee), Triple Yacht (which is a three-rowed version of Yacht for much longer games), Zilch (a fun and fast-paced Yahtzee-like dice game) and Word Yacht (hands you 10 dice with random letters and a limited time to make words out of them – great for honing your grammar skills). Hoyle has a tendency to bundle other games into the mix and this edition includes Maximum Pool. The game is more simulator than arcade game, with varying degrees of difficulty dictating visual aids (such as ball trajectory) and AI competency overall. It’s a very fun two-player experience if you enjoy pool games, and a host of classic and special game types give plenty of room for variety. Other good pickings includes DoubleCross (Scrabble), Battling Ships (Battleship) and Master Match (Mastermind).

In this fast-paced, arcade-like game, players choose to be one of the four available characters (with different difficulty levels) to help doctor Iggle free the small furry creatures known as Iggles. They have been trapped by the evil Zoogs who locked them up in bubbles. In 150 levels divided over ten chapters, players need to rescue the Iggles from their cages in different mazes and bring them to safety. The game offers two main modes to play. In Adventure Game, the Iggle can move around in the maze and walk over the bubbles with his trapped friends to get them to trail behind him (somewhat similar to the Snake games). The Iggles come in four colours and need to be delivered at the transportation point with the corresponding colour. The colour of the trail can be in any order, but identically coloured Iggles forming a single line provide more points, leading to combos. The enemy Zoogs come in different flavours and try to trap the player's character. Some simply walk around, while others have fixed patterns or shoot bubbles. When they touch the trail, it is cut off, sending the Iggles loose or trapping them again. To complete a level, the player has to free all Iggles. New techniques and features are introduced gradually through short tutorial sessions with doctor Iggle between the missions. The main Iggle can collect letters to earn extra lives, walk with the correct number of Iggles in the trail through a chain bonus pad to unlock diamonds, walk into a pad to sort the colours, freeze enemies, shortly activate electricity to hunt the Zoogs, and more. He can also get a short burst of speed, but this needs to be recharged. After completing a set of levels, a bonus level is played where a hidden bomb and an extra life is introduced, along with secret passages. These levels have a time limit. The Iggle can be controlled both using the keyboard or the mouse. The second mode, Retro Game, keeps most of the game elements, but resembles Pac-Man in gameplay. Instead of forming a trail, the mazes are filled with more Iggles and they can be collected right away. without having to take them along to a transportation point. When the player is out of lives, it is possible to continue in the Adventure Game mode, while a Game Over is final in the Retro Game mode. The game supports both local and global, online high scores. | ||

In the past, an archaeologist was on a treasure hunt for the fabled Tonatiuh, The Temple of the Fifth Sun. To reach the location, he had to conquer portals by realigning relics according to an ancient description. He wrote his progress into his Jewel Quest journal. Today, while arranging manuscripts for the university, he stumbled across his old journal and now he wants to try it again. The player takes the persona of the unnamed archaeologist writing more notes into his journal as he goes. Each level represents one dot on the treasure map, leading from the airplane take down point to the location of the temple. There are five advancement categories for progression beginning with Explorer and ending in Researcher. All levels within all categories must be completed to reach the treasure. However, if a level is too difficult, the opportunity to skip it presents itself at a cost of one life (out of five). It is possible to attain up to ten total lives during the game. The objective in a level is to do exactly what the ancient script states, "Align the relics you can see, across or down in groups of three. Turn all squares to solid gold, the path to riches will soon unfold." So, for example, at the start of level 1-1 (first level in the first group), a 7x7 grid appears, each block filled with one of four different items (relics). Exchange adjacent items so that a line of three or up to five items will be created (more than five is possible, but this can't be done manually). Those items will vanish and the ground will change from beige to gold, the spaces will fill with the items from above, and new items fall in from the top of the playfield. Once all blocks are gold, the level is completed. When the time runs out, one life is lost. While the level progresses, there are bigger playfields or more complex ones. Complex means that they are not always in square or rectangle form, but, for example, they can also have a zigzag side, where either horizontal or vertical alignments aren't possible. More relics are added in the playfield, and also the time becomes shorter. | ||

The popular Magic Ball series pays tribute to the arcade gameplay of Breakout, in which you remove all of the bricks on the screen using a ball, a paddle and select bonuses. The original Magic Ball was the first Breakout remake to feature 3D level design based on locations and objects found in the real world. Magic Ball 2 is an all-new sequel featuring additional bonuses, enhanced special effects and elaborate level design. With more addictive game play, and more stunning 3D graphics, this contains more of everything you could want, including over 100 new innovative 3D layouts with animated characters and all new power-ups. One stage, for example, includes a pastoral setting that begins with sheep grazing in a field and a brook flowing past a small cottage; moments later, dozens of balls are bouncing around the screen, the house is crumbling and bonuses are raining toward the paddle. You will also stop a runaway train, demolish a burning building and topple a giant monster rampaging through city streets. Luckily, cannons and other weapons will give you the upper hand. | ||

Traditionally in Taisen Puzzle-dama they're smiling circles, but in this case they're replaced by Pop-kuns. The only pop'n music game that doesn't feature traditional button-hitting gameplay. It was also the only one until ポップンミュージック that required you to go online to access download content.

Accord, teacher of the local magic school, has lost her magic flying cane. There is word of an award so the students are busy searching high and low for it. Naturally, our heroes Amitie and her school nemesis Raffine make their way toward the distant dark castle, challenging - and being challenged by - everyone you come across in a game of Puyo Pop. This is a puzzle game of the falling-block variety, the goal of which is to clear your blocks (Puyos) by combining four or more of the same color, which will then vanish. This will produce Nuisance Puyos. These colorless Puyos will fall onto your opponents screen, thus blocking chains and combos they could create. These pesky Puyos can only be exterminated by removing neighboring Puyos. When an opponent sends Nuisance Puyos to your screen you can try to "offset" by clearing your own Puyos and limiting the number that would fall on your screen. This will also increase your Fever Meter. When this meter fills you will be given a set of prearranged Puyos with which you can wrack up giant combos and send tons of Nuisance Puyos to your opponent.

Puzzle Master 5 is a single person jigsaw game. It is essentially the same game as other games in the Puzzle Master series, some of the supplied documentation actually refers to Puzzle Master 4. The game's advertised features include: Five hundred and fifty pictures. The player can play, create and e-mail jigsaws from 4 to 64,000 pieces and can change the size, shape, thickness and "oddness" of jigsaw pieces during a game. The game will sort pieces shape or color. Cheat modes that solve puzzles, find the jigsaw piece you're looking for, fetch it and turn jigsaw pieces the right way up. Additionally the player can save jigsaws as wallpaper, import wallpaper and other images to use as jigsaws. There's also a jigsaw solving screensaver The game has sound effects and music plus it allows the player to use their own music files (MIDI, MP3 or .wav formats only). It can import puzzles saved in earlier Puzzle Master and export in those formats too but older versions of the game cannot always read puzzles saved in the latest, default Puzzle Master format. There is an option to connect to the 'Puzzle Master 5' web site to download additional pictures but, in 2016, this is no longer available | ||

| Q*Bert 2004 | Sony Pictures Digital | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Aside from the classic arcade mode with the original graphics, the game contains also an all-new set of stages, but otherwise it lacks most of the adjustments that were introduced in any titles since the original. The stages are divided into six themes with different sprites and floor tiles - Classic, Jungle, Castle, Ice, Pirater and Space. However, the enemy behaviour is always the same, even if they look completely different from theme to theme. The game can be controlled either with the keyboard or with the mouse, by clicking towards the direction Q*bert shall hop to. Mouse controls work surprisingly well. In fact, they almost make the game a bit too easy. Not too convenient are the stage layouts, which rely too much on bottleneck passages that don't leave any room for different approaches, and super slow flying discs to get around separate islands. There is a stage where sheer luck is the only chance at completing all islands before a new Sam or Slick gets spawned at any of the other islands and messes up the game again, simply because Q*bert moves around too slow. There are many cheap deaths because Q*bert is already in animation to move onto a space where then suddenly a new enemy spawns, and nothing can be done at that point. In a way that was true of the original, but there players could rely on enemies to always spawn from the same two tiles, while here it's all over the place. The game doesn't give any indicators like Realtime Associates' versions did, either. | ||

|

This game is the successor to Ricochet Xtreme. It's a Breakout variant, so you have your little ship (the paddle) at the bottom of the playfield, which initially shoots a ball, and then reflect it back into the playfield. Your mission is to destroy all bricks in the game. Once all are removed, you proceed to the next level. Unique (at least I didn't saw it elsewhere) about the bricks is, that there are not only fixed and straight moving bricks, but there is also "vibration" in some levels. In example in the Underwater World, bricks will swing in complex patterns, both up/down or left/right, some of them even "fly" more chaotic. The game offers 4 different main worlds (like Underwater, Volcano, or an Alien world) with 4 sub-worlds each. Each of the sub-worlds have 10 levels, so you can play 160 different levels. There are 4 different difficulty settings available. On your journey through the game, you encounter lots of usual Power-Ups, like Small/Big Ball, Slow/Fast Ball, Catcher (to prevent loosing the ball), Multiball, 8-Ball, Laser equipped paddle, the all destroying ball (here it's the corrosive ball). But there also Power-Ups to create new balls (not through multiplying), Power-Ups that change the type of other bricks. Or how about a laser firing ball? But there are much more things in the game. | ||

| Scene It? 007 Edition: The DVD Game | Screenlife LLC | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is one of a series of games in the Scene It? series. This version of the game features questions based on the James Bond movies. The game instructions are voiced by John Cleese who played 'Q' in the later movies. The game can be played on a board or in 'party play' mode and also has bonus activities. This is a boxed game which is played on the standard Scene It? 'flex-time' game board so-called because of its novel feature, when there's not enough time/interest to play a full game it can be folded, thus reducing it's size so that a short game can be played. The player(s) must travel round the board to the 'Final Cut' area where they must answer an 'All Play To Win' challenge. If they are successful they win the game, if not they move to the outer Final Cut circle and must successfully answer three DVD challenge questions to win. The box contains a folding game board, four metal tokens; James Bond, a vodka martini glass, a Bond car and a Bond Girl. The game is played with two dice, a six sided die that determines how far the player moves and an eight sided die which determines the challenge the player will face. After the player has rolled both dice and moved their token they may have to complete a challenge, if successful they take another turn and continue to do so until they make an error or the category die shows a Q - see below. Players move before they attempt a challenge and if they are on an 007 space they move twice the number rolled, The challenges the player will face in their travels are determined by the eight sided die, they are;* 'My Play': this is a DVD challenge in which a scene is viewed a question is asked. 'All Play': this is a DVD challenge in which a scene is any player can answer. If two player's answer simultaneously then there is a DVD Tie Breaker option. There are two All Play symbols on the challenge die. 'Q Card': If the category die shows a 'Q' the player selects a Q Card from the pack, follows the instructions and their turn ends. 'Trivia Challenge': Here another player draws a Trivia Challenge card and reads the question. There are three categories of trivia question ''Basic Bond', 'Beyond Bond', and 'Brilliant Bond' each represented by a distinct symbol on the category die, each card has one question from each category on one side with the answers on the reverse. 'Players Choice': here the player selects a trivia card or DVD category of their choice. Other game options;* Expert play: In this mode the player rolls the dice but does not move until after they have completed a challenge. Pre-set Games: these games minimise the chance that a question will be repeated during a game. Party Play: This mode presents a series of questions for a large group to play shouting out the answers, the board is not used. Solitaire: The instructions refer to this as a solo game designed to be used on a laptop, in reality it is Party Play played by a single player. | ||

Snowy gets puzzled in this adventure as he tries to tackle one hundred different puzzles that will take from jungle treetops to warehouses robotic factories. Each world presents its own new challenges from collapsing walkways to running conveyor belts that will stand in your way to get to the exits. Sometimes the exits are blocked and the player must collect keys or even fruits to unlock these gateways. Teleports are placed in some levels that can also ease your travels. The main mode of transportation, besides walking around, are the multi or uni-directional platforms. These platforms are the basic method of solving the puzzles that each level presents. Sometimes you will have to activate platforms that you are not even close to standing on in order to have them in a position that will help later on in reaching the exit as is typical of puzzle games. If you get stuck there is thankfully a solve option that will solve the puzzle for you but is done at a pace that can be interrupted by the player if he/she decides that they would like to continue solving the puzzle. The levels are split between sixty regular and forty kids version which presents a much easier range of puzzles. There are also downloadable packs of puzzles from Alawar Games. | ||

This is in the basic concept similar to any Columns-based game. Your job is to combine at least 4 balls of the same color, when this happens, they vanish and ball from above will fall down to fill the gap. When the stacked balls reaching the top of the playfield, then you have lost. Unlike most of those games, you have not a row which falls from the top of the playfield, but a bunch of three balls, aligned as a triangle, which can be rotated. The farther you progress through the levels, the faster those balls falling down and the more different colors will be in the game. | ||

| Tetris Elements | ImaginEngine / THQ Inc., ValuSoft, Inc. | [top] | |

This is the second Tetris game published by THQ and like the first one, Tetris Worlds, it consists of six different variations of the original Tetris gameplay. Like in Tetris Worlds there is a hold option which means that the player can choose to save a block for later use. The classic mode plays just like the original Tetris formula but the others differ by adding various elements that affects the gameplay: Earthquake - This is a cascade version of Tetris where blocks remaining after a line has been cleared will fall down into empty cells below. Playing the game slowly will lead to earthquakes that shake the screen and creates fault lines and garbage that make it harder to clear the screen. Fire - Here the hard drop key can be used to superheat blocks. By doing this with enough of them in one row it's possible to explode them and cause chain reactions that can clear as many as eight lines at once. Ice - Icicles in two different sizes will form at the top of the screen and once they reach their maximum size they will crack off and and fall down. Small falling icicles will capture any falling blocks and drive it through the locked blocks at the bottom. When the larger icicles fall they will leave a layer of unbreakable white blocks. This layer can only be removed by clearing the line directly below it. Stratosphere - In this mode various meteors will appear after lines are cleared. There are four different ones: green which leaves random garbage blocks, red which destroys blocks as it ricochets off them, blue which destroys bricks but breaks through them and white which destroys all the blocks on the playing field. Tempest - This mode features two playing field which are attached to a windmill. Gusts of wind turns the windmill and the playing fields will be swapped. When using the hold feature the current block will be passed to the other playing field. | ||

Your mission in this game is to get the five Varmintz, some sort of raccoons, to the safe place inside their dens. The five Varmintz are: Binki, Shady, Rubin, Bean, and Lulu. The game offers 10 different worlds to play. Each world consists of 6 levels, one level per Varmint, and an additional bonus level. You need to complete one world in order to proceed to the next one. When you start a level, you are giving control over your Varmint, at the very southern part of the level. Your destination is the very northern part of the level, there are the five dens, where each of them must be filled with a Varmint. The level is filled with obstacles, and enemies. And since you don't have a weapon, all you can do is to avoid all the enemies in order to get to your destination. For this, the two Power-Ups in the game will help you. These are Freeze (will freeze all enemies, but also rafts for a few seconds) and Potion (will make you invisible, so the enemies can’t catch you). The enemies include animals, people, cars, and trains, sometimes they are normal, but sometimes they are crazy, like pigs with revolvers riding on horses. Furthermore you must avoid water, since you can’t swim. But you can use tree logs and other things as a raft to cross them. If a chasm blocks your way, you can jump above clouds to do the same. On your way to the dens, your mission is to collect Golden Eggz. One is worth 1000 points, and once you have collected 50 of them, you are granted an extra life. Sometimes there are Trash Cans in a level, which are worth 10 Golden Eggz. And in rare occasions there are Golden Varmintz Heads, which are worth one extra life. In addition, there is a Clock, which will give you extra time (5 sec) in the next bonus level. Clocks are cumulative, so you can collect much time for every 6th level. When you die in a level, you can start from a Checkpoint, you don’t need to play the entire level a second time. But that does not mean, that you can't save the game when you leave it. Just not inside the game. | ||

This is collection of four mini games based on the Yetisports browser games: Super Pingo Throw is based on Yetisports Part 1: Pingu Throw. The player takes the part of a polar bear with a baseball bat. A penguin falls from a mountain and the player has to hit him with a timed mouse click. The goal is to time this perfectly so the penguin flies a long range. In comparison to the browser game this version adds additional obstacles which stop the penguin, orcas which give a speed boost when the penguin lands on it and wind. There are new penguin animations and also an additional playing mode where the player has to strike other ice bears which are standing on the runway. Ice Bear Attack - Similar to Super Pingu Throw, but the Penguins can hit polar bears on the ground for more air time. New game mode: Difficulty increases with each new try. Risk shot - bet everything on one go. Orca Slap is based on Yetisports Part 2: Orca Slap. Here the player stands in front of a big dart board. Then penguins fly into the screen (on at a time) and the player has to throw a snowball at them. Then the penguin gets deflected and flies to the dart board and the player scores. The goal is to get a high score. In comparison to the browser game this version adds a slot machine between rounds where the player can get additional penguins or snowballs. There is also an additional playing mode where the player has to hit specific fields on the dart board. Pingu Dart - Similar to Super Orca Slap, except that you need to try to hit flashing targets on the dartboard. All games feature improved graphics and a multiplayer mode for up to 4 players as well as a brand new online High Scores List. The four original Flash games are included. | ||
