A man lies in a darkened cell, consumed by pain and sickness. He does not know where he is. He does not know how he came to be there. He does not even know his own name. All he knows is that he is being tortured by a bizarre, bespectacled man, who addresses him only as a number - Twelve-Thirteen. Every day, Twelve-Thirteen is taken out of his cell and goaded into running a dangerous hazard course, apparently for the sole amusement of the bespectacled man. Today seems to be no different. But while Twelve-Thirteen sits brooding in his darkened prison, the door suddenly falls open with no apparent cause. To discover the answers to all of his questions, Twelve-Thirteen must adventure into the unknown world beyond the cell...

Featuring original and commercial-quality graphics, animation and sound, these are a series of cute, point-and-click, cartoon puzzles in Flash. Each episode is rather short in length -just right for some lunchtime fun or a coffee break - and all of them contain humorous, inventive situations and puzzles to solve. Divided into three unique series, each one contains a different character: Rat, Mr. Zhong Kui (3 parts), No.5 (4 parts where you play as a boy). Probably the most remarkable of them all is the one about the boy, which begins with an excellent intro movie resembling a pop-up storybook that provides a little background info while leading into the game. Prepare to help him as he attempts to escape the clutches of the alien(s) who abducted him in these wonderful little adventures. While basic point-and-click type Flash games, the situations they present will force you to think about how to make best use of the resources around you to solve the puzzle at hand. Some will find them easy to get through, while others will no doubt be stumped, though the solutions are generally logical, if not obvious. This is especially true for the puzzle featuring the rat. Exceptional in design though potentially frustrating, this one will surely annoy you before you're done. The reason is because every time you make a wrong click on something, the rat squeaks at you. And the rat will squeak at you a lot before you're done. But persevere, and you will be rewarded with a very cute and ingenious little clicky puzzle. Be sure to try them all since every one of them is charming and offers something slightly different. The ones starring Mr. Zhong Kui are probably the easiest of the bunch, but they will likely make you chuckle with delight when you figure out their simple solutions. Great artwork, funny characters, and inventive puzzles make these casual games something special. | ||

| 5 Magical Amulets | Off Studio Adventure Team | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
You play a young girl who has been given a magical amulet. Now it's up to you to find three more people with similar amulets, and together defeat an evil wizard. The game is long enough to match commercially released adventures, and the story has enough twists and turns to keep you occupied for a long time. The best part of the game, however, is the writing. The gameplay is very linear, but thanks to the multitude of side quests, you'll never notice how tightly you are controlled by the authors. In addition, the title features plenty of very interesting and authentic non-player characters with their own deep backgrounds and agendas. The Czech development team has been heavily influenced by Central European folklore and older Czech animated fairytales, which is evident in the somewhat unusual graphics, as well as certain game elements. However, this just gives the title a distinct charm, which makes it even more appealing to the players. It was made with the Wintermute Engine. | ||

| 7NK: The Seven Noble Kinsmen - A Shakespearean Murder Mystery | LittleLoud Studios / BBC | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
7NK is a point and click murder mystery adventure game set inside an eerie, dimly lit theatre and was launched to support the 2005 TV ShakespeaRe-Told season on BBC. You play The Critic whose bad review caused Christopher Morton's stage play to flop dismally. Now five years later, you are invited by Morton, along with the seven members of the play's original cast, to his secret theatre called The Knell on an island in Scotland. None of you know why Morton requested your presence, and none of the cast members acts particularly pleased to be there. Of course, no one has a clue that a murder (or murders) is about to happen, except the person committing the crime of course. The game is divided into 6 Acts which were originally released as weekly episodes. The objective in each Act is to find the original script pages and finish the tasks given in them. Within the script are blank sections which must be filled in with the help of books or other reference material and clues you will locate. Click through the introduction and read the back story before the interactive portions begin. You are given a PDA which contains your diary, hints, information about the suspects and a map of the theatre. Typically, all of the players are possible victims and suspects so you will need to talk to each one of them multiple times. You can interact with the environment, click on wall art and sparkling "hot spots", plus use inventory items to solve puzzles. Puzzles come in various forms and include some mini-games (a game of concentration, for instance). All must be found and solved to reveal an important item or clue. Although all of the characters are still and without voices, there are animations and sounds of other kinds, especially as the "plot thickens". Cut scenes, sound effects, noises and music add to the immersion factor. The game in unfortunately not available anymore. | ||

| Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment | Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an attempt to stretch the potential of Adventure Game Studio. As well as having a standard adventure game plot, the game also incorporates a space trading sim, free-roaming throughout three galactic zones, sidequests, and all sorts of ways to goof about on the way to following the main storyline. It's sort of a sequel to the same author's Rob Blanc games as it uses some of the same characters and locales. You play Dan Gordon, a hapless, average Joe who is kidnapped one day by aliens to be their errand boy. Unbeknownst to you, the aliens sent you on a suicide mission to deliver a package. Lucky for you, the package's intended recipient disappeared before you could finish the job - as well as captain of the alien ship that kidnapped you. Your mission, as impromptu ship captain, is to find out why people are disappearing. Since space travel requires fuel, which costs money, and space is full of dangerous pirates called the Culthorpes, you will need to fight and trade to pay your way and survive. | ||

"Animamundi" means I shall give thee all kinds of dark ecstasy... From an up-and-coming team of interactive novel creators comes Anima Mundi, a gothic horror game alive with decadence and sensuality. The story unfolds in the fictional country of Hardland, a fantastical version of medieval Eastern Europe, home to vampires, alchemists, homunculi, and the Devil Mephistopheles. Count Georik Zaberisk has achieved fame and fortune as personal physician to the King of Hardland, but the poor health of his sister Lillith - who has been frail since birth - forces him to resign early, and he resigns himself to spending his life as a local aristocrat. But one day, when Georik is away from his manor, Lillith is accused of witchcraft by an angry mob of villagers. They assault her, and then execute by chopping off her head and burning her body. Georik eventually manages to retrieve her head, and to his surprise, discovers that it is still alive. Desperate to make his sister whole again, Georik transfers her head from the body of one young woman to the next, but the transplant is rejected each time. His days are spent mired in frustration and worry. Then, one day, Georik learns about homunculi, artificial humans that can supposedly be created through alchemy. However, the kingdom of Hardland embraced a technological civilization and modernized centuries ago, and in doing so outlawed the dark arts. But to save his sister, Georik has no choice but to move deeper and deeper into the forbidden world of alchemy. Features of the repack: the official patch included, and censorship removed (to see differences, play a few scenarios and then enter Main Menu's option screen and choose graphics. The thumbnails will still be censored, but the large pictures no longer are - allowing you to compare both releases). The Major Bug: Sometimes, some chapters (mainly "Outbreak of War") play with Japanese text. You just need to close the game completely and restart it, then load the game and start the chapter again to see normal text. | ||

| Ankh: The Tales Of Mystery | Deck 13 / Rebel Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Ankh is a 3D sequel to a little-known game called Ankh which won't be familiar to most of us as it was only available on Acorn RISC machines in 1998. It takes place in Cairo, the ancient city of a thousand shapes, colors and smells - and of Pharaohs, crocodiles and assassins. It won't be easy for Assil to get an audience at the palace to get rid of his death curse. Even worse, the number of his foes is growing faster than his curse takes posession of him. And that's already quite fast. Only a keen mind can save Assil from certain death: You! During his quest, Assil meets a whole bunch of weird people, from happy slaves to frightened crocodiles and finally Osiris himself, the god of the underworld. In 2015, an Anniversary Edition was released on the occasion of its 10th year since release which supports widescreen resolution as well as Steam trading cards. It does also include bonus material such as soundtrack and artwork. | ||

Fashioned by Jeff Smith as a comic graphic novel this is the story of what happens to the Bone Cousins when they are kicked out of Boneville and are faced with the big wide world. They meet with an assortment of quirky characters and get tangled up in a mystery along the way. Books in the 9 volume book series have sold over 1 million copies.

When Sam and Max: Freelance Police was cancelled there they decided to strike out on their own. Bone is to be released gradually through electronic distribution in 4-6 hour episodic chapters. It's a point and click adventure game where you move from screen to screen, solving puzzles and exploring the environments. You have various dialog choices along the way, so although the end result will not change based on your decisions, you are in control of your attitude in how you try to solve puzzles.

| Boyz Don't Cry [PL] | L'Art | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Looking like it should be on the television, Boyz Don't Cry is a strangely-titled, yet gorgeous-looking, cartoon third-person adventure from Polish developers L'Art. Telling the story of a couple of gangsters called Fred and SuPearMan (bear with us here), Boyz Don't Cry is aiming to keep tongue firmly planted in cheek, as the protagonists wage war on drug dealers, uncover a significant number of plot twists, and become embroiled in the conspiracy of the evil-sounding Guy With The Beard. Based on cult Polish crime movie Guys Don't Cry (which is spelt correctly, for some reason), the game should be of particular interest to fans of a good, old-fashioned 2D adventure. Not so much ignoring as deliberately rebelling against the increasing number of 3D titles to grace our screens, L'Art have developed their own engine to power the proceedings. And the game looks stunning - as one glance at any of these beautiful screenshots will tell you. With some sumptuous looking stylised artwork, Boyz Don't Cry is one of the nicest looking adventure games in a long time, and shouldn't be dismissed just because it doesn't use pixel shaders or anisotropic filtering. Helping to set the game apart from other 2D works are the game's cutscenes. Rather than being fully animated, as in most games, they have been done in a comic book style – an individual touch, and one with definite potential. It's also a good length, with five hours of dialogue, fifty characters and an equal number of locations providing plenty of bang for your buck, all part of a sizable-sounding five-hundred page screenplay. No English version exists. | ||

This chronicles the adventures of the 4 main Bratz franchise girls - Jade, Sasha, Chloe, and Yasmin - as they follow their globetrotting fashion dreams on their way to start a world famous rock band. It starts when Jade receives a dream internship at a high fashion magazine with a tyrannical editor-in-chief who also employs twin sisters who happen to be Jade's arch-nemeses. Jade does not last long at this internship. She and her friends decide to found a competing fashion magazine and the adventure rolls on from there. The game features 9 chapters and the gameplay alternates between 3D adventure and assorted minigames. In the 3D adventure mode, the player guides the current Bratz character around various rendered sets and interacts with other characters, who invariably give the Bratz goals to carry out in order to further the storyline. The minigames include a fruit smoothie mixing game, where the player controls the smoothie stand and must make fruit smoothies per the Bratz girl's real-time specifications; a magazine layout minigame; a minigame where the player must pick out the right clothes for the editor's business trip; and many others. Successful completion of a minigame unlocks more outfits that the player can dress the Bratz characters in. | ||

It is being distributed as a shareware by Draconus Entertainment, a new Finnish indie game development company founded by Markku Rankala (author of Triplane Turmoil!). In a luxury hotel on the Swiss Alps, a murder has just been committed. Unfortunately for the murderer Jacques-Louis Barajean, France's best detective, is there. It's a short, dynamic mystery point'n'click adventure game inspired by the famous boardgame Cluedo: This means that virtually every game will be different from the others. Your deductive skills will be tested where you look for clues and evidences, question the suspects, and when you're sure about the culprit's identity, point your finger at him or her, just like in an Agatha Christie novel. There's more than a million different scenarios, 3 levels of difficulty from low to high season when the hotel is packed with guests, and 16 different suspects - each one of them can be the murderer, his accomplice, or the victim. | ||

The game is very small in size and does not require any installation.

In the style of the Leisure Suit Larry series this game puts us on the shoes of Andrew Gourdo, a guy that has been dumped by his girlfriend and must get her back with the help of a friend. A part of the plan involves scoring with some of the university chicks. The gameplay is like a classic adventure game. You have some actions at your disposal (walk, take, give, talk, etc.) and must solve puzzles to make the plot advance. There is also a point-based ranking system similar to the one in the first Leisure Suit Larry games. You can complete the girl quests in whatever order you want, and in that sense the game isn't linear. Described as a romantic comedy, this game has some soft sexual content. | ||

|

Released one game per year from 2005-2007, the ever-evolving Christmas Quest games were made by the crew of one of the most popular adventure game websites around - Adventure Gamers. What it lacks in polish and depth and eye candy and practically everything else that suggests "professional", it more than makes up with their sincere desire that you enjoy yourselves while playing. #1 The Best Adventure Game Ever! (2005) tells the story (and we're using the term loosely) of a young man who awakens on Christmas morning to find that Santa has granted his wish of bringing him the Best Adventure Game Ever! But like any adventure, first there are obstacles to overcome, puzzles to solve, and side-splitting guffaws to be laughed (at least, that's the plan). #2 The Yuletide Flows In (2006) the fate of the Best Adventure Game Ever is in your hands, and it'll take every ounce of your sense of humour and ingenuity to save it. Rest assured, Christmas Quest 2 takes its "2" very seriously. The sequel is bigger and... well, bigger than the original in every way! Twice the locations, twice the characters, at least twice the dialogue, and twice the risk that this will be the best present you get all year! #3 Santa’s Little Help Desk (2007) the young dork and his stranded Christmas elf must now seek to repair their decrepit old computer in order to play the Best Adventure Game Ever. But with telephone tech support as helpful as always, they'll need to find creative ways to solve their problems, and the solution may just lie in looking deep within. Can the PC be saved? Will the Best Adventure Game Ever at last be revealed? | ||

| Der Gefangene [G] | V-oti | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

|
The Prisoner is by an Austrian developer. We are in the Middle Ages, in a port city. An alchemist was arrested because it is believed that he is in league with the devil. Our mission is to free him. It is not done with violence, but only with using your head. The intro shows us a little insight into this epoch, although this is also quite short. Graphically, "The Prisoner" for a fanadventure, and especially as a first work, is well done. Primarily it impresses with film sequences that occur from time to time and voice acting. It uses the graphics program Cinema 6. A major strength that is brought to the fore is the presentation and puzzle design: art, dialogue and inventory puzzles enrich the game and are of a high standard. Sometimes you have to move fast because otherwise you will be punished with death. | ||

| Didi & Ditto First Grade: The Wolf King | Kutoka Interactive Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an adventure/puzzle game intended for 5 - 7 year-olds, following on the heels of Kutoka's earlier Didi and Ditto: Kindergarten. After you sign in on the first page and choose a difficulty level (1, 2, or 3 bugs, for easy, medium, or hard), you are transported to a countryside scene where you listen to short setup story about how the Wolf King has taken over Jako’s Valley and placed his purple lieutenants in various places around the map. Didi and Ditto, 2 brave little beavers, decide to put a stop to his rule, and make a bet with him that beavers are smarter than wolves. The king agrees that if one beaver can outsmart all his lieutenants and win all the flags and royal medallions from them, he and his minions will leave the valley forever. You have agreed that only one beaver will make the attempt, and you must choose which – Didi, the girl, or Ditto the boy – and then click on a map of the Valley to travel to the area of your choice. After each puzzle, you return to the map to pick your next place to explore. Each area of the map holds two puzzles (16 in all) – one to win a flag, and one to win a medallion, both of which you will place in your backpack. The pack stays conveniently off-screen until you run your mouse over the bottom of the picture; then it pops up along with a flower that will exit, and a leaf that will take you back to the map. In order to win a flag, you must help a friendly animal out of a tight spot; the puzzles vary from helping to decide on measuring tools/units, to fetching a teddy bear from a mine maze while you block a couple of frogs from the exit. The medallion puzzles entail besting a wolf lieutenant at a game of wits, ranging from selecting letters and punctuation from a typing table to match a short sentence, to finding shapes on a table by following directions (right, left, between, etc.), and than arranging them into a tangram shape. Each puzzle is preceded by a clear explanation and a little tutorial; even so, some of the puzzles may be beyond the capabilities of the first graders the game aims at. In particular, there is one puzzle that involves using the arrow keys in a mine to drop rocks into moving carts…this was not simple! Another puzzle requires you to catch things falling down a waterfall, according to directions specifying “living” or “non-living” – it was fairly difficult to identify the items and move quickly enough to catch them all. Many first-graders may find themselves frustrated, although you can return to any puzzle at any time to complete it. This game is designed to reinforce skills the child is learning in school; simple addition, measuring, shapes, letters and reading, punctuation, rhyming, classifying and sorting, and reading maps, among many others. There are also some creativity pages that you can access - after solving a puzzle involving color mixing you are able to paint your own picture, for instance. After helping a group of turtles practice their music, you are able to select a drumbeat and click on the turtles to make music of your own which can be recorded and played back. At any time you can visit the Activity menu, where you can directly access the educational mini-games; there are four tabs, for Math, Reading, Science, and Creativity. There are also a number of mini animations starring friends of Didi and Ditto that you can watch during the game by clicking on different parts of scenery. In addition, this game includes a Teacher Mode, enabling a teacher or parent to track the child's progress. | ||

| Doctor Who: Attack Of The Graske | BBC Online | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an interactive mini-episode of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who that was first broadcast on the BBC Red Button service on 25 December 2005. It is now available as an online game on the official Doctor Who website. The human race is in danger of being replaced by aliens (changelings). Only the Doctor's companion (the viewer) can stop them. The Tenth Doctor welcomes the viewer into the TARDIS. He tells them that he has been watching the viewer for some time, as they have been watching him, and that he has been impressed enough to want to take the viewer to help him on his next adventure. His current companion, Rose, has been dropped off at Wembley in 1979 for an ABBA concert. He then imbues the viewer's television remote control with the power of his sonic screwdriver, allowing the viewer to take part in the proceedings. To start, the Doctor shows his new assistant a family of six celebrating Christmas in a living room, by means of the TARDIS scanner — a family, it seems, like any other, except that one of them is an alien imposter. By alternating between two different viewpoints, namely from within the family's television set and from the handheld digicam the daughter got for Christmas, the viewer has to determine who does not belong. As the Doctor tracks the Graske through time, the viewer takes command of the TARDIS's controls, and activates the vortex loop, dimensional stabiliser and vector tracker as requested. Depending on the choice the viewer makes, there are two alternative endings to the episode. It was later placed on the series 2 DVD box set, to be played by home viewers around the world. | ||

This adventure is based on a full-length Russian aminated movie released in 2004. At the dawn of the twentieth century, when steam engines were already invented, and mobile phones did not exist even in the wildest dreams, deep in the forest by the sea lived small forest men, rising only a few inches. They lived in their own little town, drinking juices and nectars, and hiding under the ferns, trying to not be seen by people, so of them practically nobody knew. In the small town, they had their own post office, printing press, telegraph, trams, and our heroes - Znayka, nerd journalist, and his younger brother Dunno. In the city also lived Native Ski, Cowboy Mike, Fisherman Lim, Professor Brom Mechanic Bursch, Murzilka and many other men. They were all very creative and some of their technical innovations were far ahead of their time. Not all was quiet in town, because a terrible villain Barrabass sought by any means to annoy or hurt man. Once he attacked Geographic Society and stole all of the maps, books and globes of the little people. And then he decided to subjugate time and space to rule the entire world. But to prevent the insidious plans, Dunno decides he wants to catch the villain and show his older brother what he can do and prove to everyone that he is a true hero. The number of locations can be counted on the fingers, and most of the playing time is in the form of mini-games and cutting clips from the movie which are well drawn. | ||

In 2060, the world has fallen into chaos. The land was warning us but was ignored.

| Emily Enough: Imprisoned | Logan Worsley | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Made with AGS (Adventure Game Studio), Emily Enough is a sometimes deliciously off colour freeware adventure. Set in an asylum, you play the role of spoiled brat murderer Emily, hell bent on escape. The main attractions of Emily Enough are the graphics and the music. The pale, eerie characters stare blankly a the walls of the superbly sterile asylum and the cold, detached music really lends the game a stomach churningly creepiness. The script is good but flawed. Insistantly sick, it dwells on the dark side of the human soul, making room for some great satire on big business. Some of the characters seem a little redundant and occasionally the desire to be gruesome overwhelms the comic potential. Black comedy can be hard to pull off. The therapy session stands out from the script (Ed and his obsession with killing whores brings the biggest laughs). | ||

| Evenings On A Farm Near Dikanka [Ru] | Step Creative Group / 1C | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Everyone in Russia has read, or were introduced in school, to Nikolai Gogol's short story collection "Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka". The Ukrainian-born Russian writer lived in the first half of the 19th century and is considered by many to be the father of modern Russian literature. These stories are very popular in Russia and served as a basis for operas by Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, and others. This is a retelling of the Christmas Eve story but includes elements of several other short stories from the Dikanka collection. It is set in a timeless 'old Ukraine', a world that is both mystical, magical, and realistic. In some ways Gogol's stories resemble Greek myths whose protagonists are titans and gods and beings with all sorts of supernatural powers, yet their behavior is entirely human. In Dikanka you will encounter witches, undead (including a vampire), a rusalka, a leshi, a domovoi, and even one denizen of Hell makes a personal appearance. Yet all characters, including the magical ones, have human troubles and desires. The hero of the story is purely human. His name is Vakula and he's the blacksmith in the village of Dikanka. He is an extremely solidly built fellow, very skilled smith and also painter of icons; he's very good-natured and helpful, perhaps not too bright but not stupid either, and very much in love with Dikanka's most beautiful girl, Oksana. As everyone knows, women are trouble - and Oksana is no exception. At a whim, she gives Vakula an impossible task: she promises to marry him as soon as he brings her the same slippers (Cherevichki - also a name of Tchaikovsky's opera based on this story) that the empress is wearing. Or at least, a rational person might think such task impossible. Not so Vakula. He is undaunted by the fact that Dikanka is thousand miles far from Saint Petersburg where the empress lives, or that a simple village blacksmith doesn't stand much chance of getting an audience with her. Full of optimism, Vakula sets out on his quest to get the slippers. It is the middle of winter (Christmas Eve in fact) and all roads are under several feet of snow. No problem - after running a few seemingly random errands for the villagers (I said Vakula was very helpful), Vakula finds out that the quickest way to get to Saint Petersburg is flying on the devil's back. A devil is never too far, so finding one is not an issue. The fact that the devil wants Vakula's soul in exchange is. | ||

Façade is an artificial intelligence-based art/research experiment in electronic narrative - an attempt to move beyond traditional branching or hyper-linked narrative to create a fully-realized, one-act interactive drama. Integrating an interdisciplinary set of artistic practices and artificial intelligence technologies, a five year collaboration was completed to engineer a novel architecture for supporting emotional, interactive character behavior and drama-managed plot. Within this architecture was built a dramatically interesting, real-time 3D virtual world inhabited by computer-controlled characters, in which the player experiences a story from a first-person perspective. Façade was publicly released as a freeware download / cd-rom in July 2005. You, the player, using your own name and gender, play the character of a longtime friend of Grace and Trip, an attractive and materially successful couple in their early thirties. During an evening get-together at their apartment that quickly turns ugly, you become entangled in the high-conflict dissolution of Grace and Trip's marriage. No one is safe as the accusations fly, sides are taken and irreversible decisions are forced to be made. By the end of this intense one-act play you will have changed the course of Grace and Trip's lives - motivating you to re-play the drama to find out how your interaction could make things turn out differently the next time. | ||

Final Destination is a first-person, slide show, point & click adventure, in the tradition of the Myst games. It's a futuristic science-fiction game about war, power sources, and planets. In 2818, an interplanetary civil war broke out, destroying the galaxy. From the aftermath emerged Larson's Folly, a unique civilization that thrived on their own power plant and other handmade intricacies. Three hundred years later, you've crossed the galaxy to find them - only to discover that the planet was destroyed in a stellar shockwave. Their journals and damaged machinery reveal the only clues you have to the outcome of the disaster. Did some survive, or are they all buried under the dust that used to be their home? Unfortunately, the plot is furthered only by the puzzles, because there aren't any characters to interact with except Charlie, the intelligent but damaged machine. The only way to solve the puzzles, however, is to read - and there is a lot to read on Larson's Folly. Most of your time spent with this game will be reading, and some of it is difficult to decipher. The puzzles come one after the other, mostly consisting of entering coordinates or pushing buttons or adjusting settings on panels and computers and they're hard. | ||

This is another quality free adventure using AGS (Adventure Game Studio). This game is heavy on the "humor" side of things, with a variety of wacky characters, interesting scenes to explore, and an amusing, unique and interesting storyline. The setting of the story takes place in a type of small "Amusement Park" called "Stickz & Ballz". The main attraction of the park is the Mini-Golf Course (thus the Stickz & Ballz name), as well as a Hunted House of Mirrors and a Video Arcade, plus a large shop with snacks and souvenirs as well as more areas to explore. The main character in the game that the player will control, goes by the name of Ned Flobolid. Ned (who is around 16 years old) is working during his "summer-break" at the "Stickz & Ballz" amusement park, which is owned and operated by his Uncle Ernie. His parents gave him the choice to either work there for his Uncle during the summer, or to attend tutoring lessons at summer-school. So, Ned choose to work at the amusement park. The story takes place during the day of "The Great Stroke-Off Competition", in which teams are competing to win the trophy. During the opening scenes of the game, Uncle Ernie will tell Ned "Half of a Proverb", and make it as a riddle for Ned to solve. So, in the course of the game, Ned will also find the "answer to the riddle of the proverb" as well. Ned will have to do various tasks, solve various puzzles (some a bit bizarre), and interact with many other characters in the game as the story unfolds. At one point during the game, Ned can choose to help and befriend one of two opposing teams (One team being a group of "Nerds" and the other team a group of "Punks"). Deciding on which team Ned decides to help win the competition, will decide on what different puzzles Ned may have to solve as well as affecting the direction of the story. | ||

This is an absolutely gorgeous commercial game made with AGS (Adventure Game Studio) by one person. Everything is pre-rendered and has been given attention to detail, so no one room in the manor feels similar to the last. The music is extremely well done also. Every room has a different tune to fit that particular scene: for example, if you go into the billiards/bar the music will sound how you would expect it too. The game has you traveling back to your family's manor after 15 years. Players will discover that each room has a spirit trapped in it, each with their own grisly story. It is up to players to find the right items to set their spirits to rest and further unravel the mystery of the manor. The story is very well written and very engaging. Although the game is a little short compared to big budget adventure games (you can easily get through this one in about 5-6 hours or so), the experience is completely worth it. | ||

We first met Carol Reed in the game Remedy, and here she is again, still in Norkopping in Sweden having taken over her friend, Conrad's, detective agency. Despite having put an ad in the paper seeking clients, business is not exactly booming, but a concerned call leads to an investigation that involves more than an absent person. The game is a home grown product in every sense of the word, and again utilises the Adventure Maker software. Like Remedy before it, photos of the maker's home town have been used to create all the settings, but these have been touched up to resemble watercolour paintings. There are about 5 straight out puzzles Carol will need to complete, and quite a few tasks which must be overcome by finding and using the correct inventory items. It's a pleasant little adventure game. There is no adrenaline pumping action scene. There are no hair pulling puzzles which prevent you from continuing. You cannot die and I'm not sure if you can even get stuck. It is laid back and charming. | ||

| Indigo Prophecy / Fahrenheit | Quantic Dream / Atari | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
French developer Quantic Dream refers to Indigo Prophecy (known as Fahrenheit in Europe) as an "interactive drama" like being inside a movie. It's a paranormal thriller set in New York City. Outside, a winter storm descends on the city, while indoors a series of inexplicable murders has begun, with random strangers brutally killing each other with ritualistic precision. One of these killers is Lucas Kane, the game's central (though not only) protagonist. After being entranced by a disturbing vision that compels him to viciously stab a defenseless man, he has no memory of committing the crime, yet still holding the bloody weapon, Lucas knows he must evade capture in order to discover the truth behind his unwilling involvement. The story eventually snowballs into occult themes, from ancient Mayan mythology to apocalyptic prophesies to rival secret societies. The element of choice is the most highly-touted aspect of the game, and the game offers far more player options than traditional titles. The psychological condition of your characters is the main area of consequence for your choices. Each character has a mental health bar that rises and falls according to the story unfolding. Make an upsetting decision and you'll lose points; take a favourable course of action and you'll gain points. To accomplish actions like trying to run from the police, a “get ready” will appear in the front of the screen and it will show you the 'up down left right' picture with different colors and you must hit the right colors and keep up with it. The music, visuals, story and acting are all well done. The title of Fahrenheit was changed to Indigo Prophecy in the United States and Canada to avoid confusion with the film Fahrenheit 9/11. To avoid an Adults Only (18+) rating, which would have had the game stripped from store shelves, most of the scenes depicting sex (one of which is interactive) and other adult content were removed from the North American versions. An exception is the final sex scene between Carla and Lucas, which was not completely cut from the game, but was shortened by removing the most graphic shots. Though one shot in the edited version is from an angle that should display Carla's nipples, the nipples were removed from her model skin in the edited version. Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered was released in Jan/2015 with updated graphics that can be switched in-game back and forth between original ones, full controller support and is based on the uncut/uncensored version of the game. | ||

| Isle / Ostrov [Ru] | Korban Laser Games / Media Service 2000 | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

What makes this second FMV adventure from the Russian developer after Metron stand out from a number of other Korenivsky “thrillers”, is the presence of a perfectly sane and coherent plot, without special references and explanations borrowed from A. Kudryashov’s short fantastic story “The Tale of Temptation”. Six teenagers - the nameless protagonist, three more boys and two girls - find themselves on a small, wooded and deserted island, and no one remembers how he ended up there. On the very first day, sitting by the fire, the guys notice the crumpled note coming from where with one phrase (quote): "Kill three and you will be saved." As you might guess, from now on friendship and simply mutually beneficial cooperation in an attempt to survive in the wild is sharply replaced by general mistrust and painful suspiciousness, and even a series of mysterious deaths and murders - if not intentional,“The Dig” , but which allows, in principle, to deploy a good psychological drama on this material. Of course, for the full implementation of such a plan, the abilities of amateur teenagers are by no means enough. Let the unprofessionalism of young actors here is less noticeable than in the deliberately grotesque "Metron", - there are few close-ups now, just like the actors, and the performers of their roles are rather underestimating than replaying, although it is still difficult for them to resist inappropriate smiles, - the overall picture still does not seem very convincing. And technically, the appearance of the DVD adventure has somewhat worsened: instead of the full-screen mode, the video is now displayed in a window with dimensions of approximately 550 × 335 - the solution is very strange (which can only be explained by difficulties with coding the material). The rest of the screen is styled as a frame and given an interface: the name of the game is displayed on the left (probably so as not to be forgotten), and at the top there is a counter of days (there will be three in total here, and time moves strictly as the player performs the necessary actions) and percentage progress in passing (not always reliable, because the vast majority of "passing" videos are duplicated - in such cases, the exact number is replaced by an approximate one, with a "more" sign). The lower edge is reserved for a similar inventory: alas, a separate screen for displaying the contents of our bag is no longer provided, but the simple belongings of the protagonist - four items maximum - do not require more. This hero, whom we will constantly see on our screen, is an unremarkable boy. Management is traditionally carried out by selecting one of the direction icons by alternately reviewing all the possibilities in terms of further moving or even using objects - using the arrow keys on the keyboard or on the remote control, followed by pressing “Enter” / “OK”. After that, a video that is not available for skipping is shown to us - and the hero arrives in a new location (or, in much more rare cases, performs some action or briefly talks with a fellow accident). Unfortunately, there are very few locations here - the island is tiny, you can’t walk around very much - and they don’t differ in variety: a clearing with a bonfire, a forest, another clearing, still a forest, again a forest, again a forest and a river bank, where you can at least catch fish. In general, Ostrov, released on two DVDs , is two times shorter than the three-disc Metron: stay in the game for more than an hour is unlikely to succeed. Not only are there special difficulties in passing, but there are practically no plot dead ends here, as well as “alternative” endings with cases of the death of the protagonist not planned by the plot. Saves are not provided: after the second day is over, the game will simply offer to insert a second disc, which has no way to check whether you have completed the first one. There are no seas of ketchup here - but there is no humor either: for some time the authors managed to create on the screen at least some semblance of despair and hopelessness. | ||

The entire game was programmed using Chris Jones' Adventure Game Studio, and the sound and other effects are from Microsoft Office. The humor and voices are all very well done, all in all a great freeware adventure. | ||

This fourth Law & Order game is the first to be based on one of the similar spin-off tv shows. A different game engine from the previous games, this one lets the player take on the role of Detective Robert Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) and experience the game from a third person point of view. With multiple cases to solve, the player will investigate crime scenes, search for valuable evidence and interview witnesses and suspects. It offers the player an innovative and psychologically oriented interview technique, to help with breaking down potential suspects. Innovative puzzles ranging from easy to mind-bending are woven into the compelling storyline. Before solving each case, the player must build a profile based on real-life criminal profiling techniques to help track down the killers. It features voice-overs by the actors and actresses from the show. As Goren, players will need to investigate 3 different homicides, each with different scenarios, evidence, witnesses, suspects and motives. You are able to switch between Goren's available cases at will and return to them when ready. Then, a 4th murder occurs which brings to light a much larger plot connecting them all. The game features a point-and-click interface, 3 difficulty levels (which control the amount of helpful hints you receive), a travel map, inventory objects to collect and use, as well as over 50 speaking non-player characters. Supposedly the game is quite buggy which detracts from some of the fun. | ||

Based on the animated feature film from DreamWorks, Madagascar is the only game that lets players enter the world of four hilarious Central Park Zoo animals — a personality-packed crew made up of a lion, zebra, giraffe and hippo. Players must master each animal's natural skills while adventuring through the exciting city of New York and the dangerous island of Madagascar, interacting with other animals and tackling obstacles and enemies in scenarios from the movie and beyond. Players control one of four main characters from the movie – Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Gloria the hippo and Melman the giraffe as they overcome obstacles, interact with film and game-exclusive characters, and face off against enemies. Players develop new skills as they take the role of each zoo animal, helping Alex maximize the power of his claws, roar and pounce; pumping up Marty's jump, back kick and stealth crawl; learning Gloria's butt smash and running barrel move; and perfecting Melman's helicopter spin and ammo-throwing neck fling, which he uses to launch coconuts and lemurs. Players test their animal abilities as they explore a variety of diverse environments in mini-games and 11 action-packed chapters, including "Marty's Escape" from the Central Park Zoo, "Penguin Mutiny" on board a giant cargo ship, and "Lemur Rave" with the exotic animals in the jungles of Madagascar. It's a fun though short and easy adventure made for kids. | ||

Based on the film "Mama Do not Cry 2". "Specialist to address" instead of the long-awaited vacation, Arthur was seeking the killer of the mayor. Although the theme of the game migrated to the election of a new mayor, in fairness, it should be noted that the plot of the game does not repeat the movie one to one, and then there is a set of absurdities of Gdańsk. Many characters and many cinematic actors voicing the same as in the film. Some appear in an unexpected way and Sailor and generally behaves like this, as in the first film.

In a world, far distant from our own, yet near enough to rouse long buried memories in our souls, destiny is stirring from her age long sleep. The first tremors of her movement ripple through the earth, setting loose the forces that will rend your world in two. But, for now, all you know is that your peaceful homeland, Mayabin, is being thrown into confusion by mysterious vessels bearing an invitation from a place called Neverla. The message born across the seas describes utopia - a land without need of laws. For in this land men have discovered the secrets of fulfillment, happiness and harmony through what they call the “emerald light”. Upon you has fallen the task of discovering the truth about Neverla. Mayabin is a serene and beautiful island lost in the faraway seas. People come here to question. In search of something to give meaning to their lives, the people of Mayabin are forever lost seeking something just out of their reach. But one day, the residents of Mayabin come across a book that changes everything. The book speaks of a place called Neverla. A mysterious land where all the questions are answered. A place where people can end their endless searching and find true meaning. At Neverla, people do not need laws or rulers. In the perfect society, people live in peace and harmony. Can the residents of Mayabin accept Neverla's answers? What is this ultimate answer that lets the people of Neverla create the perfect society? To find out you will have to wait for Mayabin. This will be instantly familiar to those who've played Myst and Riven. It features the slideshow style graphics made classic by the first two games in the Myst series. The demo version of Mayabin allows players to explore beautiful scenery around the island. While Mayabin does not feature the kind of 3D graphics you might expect from an action game, its vibrant scenery and familiar style gives the game a certain degree of depth and a pleasant feeling of nostalgia. It was to have a key feature that is very uncommon in adventure games. The puzzles and challenges players face throughout the game will have more than one solution. Moreover, your decisions in the game will give direction to your adventure. Some decisions will lead to more difficult puzzles than others. Events will be shaped based on the path you choose to take every time you play the game. This different and creative style will give Mayabin tremendous replay value and urge players to consider alternative solutions to the game's challenges. The game's development was stopped before completion but there is a playable demo available. | ||

A parody of amateur adventure design, this metagame consists of a simple treasure hunting game, and a complex editor needed to complete it. The editor and its assistant Cuppit are all part of the game; anyone involved in game or level design should appreciate the humor. The editor is an exercise of twisted logic and lateral thinking. You have to see it to believe it; with its offbeat controls, inventory items that kill you, and intentional misspellings, it's the weirdest thing since sliced bread. META is based on Adventure Game Studio, the platform for most of our games, and is runner-up for two AGS Awards. | ||

min en meer (less and more) is a game by Tale of Tales included as a bonus on the 2005 music album Min & Meer by Gerry De Mol and Eva De Roovere. It starts automatically when the disc is entered in a computer. It is a short game that uses soundbites from the album in an experimental way, as a visual companion to the music. The game consists of different scenes where the player needs to interact with elements in the environment to progress. This is usually done by clicking items to activate them, drag items, or a combination of both in a specific order. Actions often trigger sounds while parts of the lyrics appear in the background. | ||

This is another nice freeware horror adventure made with AGS (Adventure Game Studio). Your name is Noah, at least that's what you are told. You awaken in a dank padded cell with no memories of your past and no idea why you are in a sanitarium. Your only desire is to reclaim your memories and find out who you really are, but some things may be better left hidden. The interesting plot is moved along by the use of the "think" icon which is a nice plot device. When your character lapses into madness, the screen flashes red, and everything morphs into more sinister versions (including inventory items). In this mode, you cannot "think" and have only limited controls over your faculties. | ||

In The Pharaoh's Treasure, the first 3D adventure with this popular German game character, Moorhuhn had to prove that he has the heart of a true adventurer. No sooner does he return to Scotland as a rich rooster, however, than his quality is put to yet another test. First of all, the taxman seizes his hard-earned treasure right from under his beak, and then it turns out that what's left of it comes with a terrible curse! There's no point in moaning. The adventure goes into round two. For the most part, Cursed Gold remains true to Moorhuhn's first adventure: high-quality 3D design, loads of gags and mini games and a polished plot make this game a really adventurous experience. But although the storyline of the game continues seamlessly from The Pharaoh's Treasure, you will be able to enjoy Cursed Gold to the full, even if you're new to the game. | ||

| Nancy Drew 12: The Secret Of The Old Clock | Her Interactive | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The game is based on the first book in the Nancy Drew canon, the game's release date is the 75th anniversary of that book's publication, and the game is done in period, right down to Nancy's more-or-less Model A roadster. The game's story links the greed of Richard Topham for the estate of Josiah Crowley from the original Secret with the lost jewels of Emily Crandall from The Mystery at Lilac Inn. The resulting story opens with poor Emily mourning the loss of her mother. A friend of her mother's has come to help Emily run the Lilac Inn. Did Josiah Crowley really leave his money to Topham? Is Jim Archer, the banker, on the level? Clues point, as is usual in Nancy Drew games, everywhere. Assuming Emily is innocent, the villain could be any of the other fully animated characters. In the world before cell phones, Nancy must use a pay phone. Every call costs a nickel but whenever she pleases, Nancy can jump into her snazzy blue roadster and deliver telegrams all over Titusville for an impressive twenty-five cents apiece. Clock is the first Nancy Drew game to use black-and-white still photographs to provide visuals for some of the places and gives the game some appropriate atmosphere. With its sunny exteriors and perpetual daylight, it's a light, bright, and fun game. | ||

|
|
In Narbacular Drop you explore a 3D dungeon and overcome obstacles using unique portal gameplay. Its non-violent, low-intensity, simple gameplay appeals to gamers of all ages and skill levels. The unique portal gameplay makes for a very fun and memorable game experience. The player controls the Princess character who has been captured by the a demon. The demon has trapped her in his dungeon lair, known as Wally. Wally is a sentient dungeon and has the ability to open portal holes on his walls. These portals connect to each other and any object moving into one portal will come out the other. Wally is resentful of his owner demon owner, so he joins with the Princess to help her escape. In exchange, she agrees to free Wally by directing his portal power to vanquish the demon. This portal system is a technical feature that is demonstrated in a few games to date, and has never before been the central focus of a game. The concept is two interconnecting portals that can be freely placed by the player. When looking into one portal, the viewer sees out the other and vice versa. The added feature of moving through the portals allows for many unique gameplay possibilities. Combining portals with the basic physics simulation allows for a huge level of interactivity. Players can toss boxes, boulders, or even themselves around the dungeon. Players can come up with their own creative solutions to overcome the challenges in each level. The portal interface is very simple. The left mouse button fires the a blue portal, which appears on the wall, ceiling, or floor in front of the player. The right mouse button fires a red portal. Only one of each portal can be open at a time. This allows for a fast learning curve and low-intensity gameplay. It was released online for free in 2005 on PC (DX9). It was the Senior game project of students attending DigiPen. The developing team will also use similar style of play in a game called "Portal" that is a part of Half-Life 2 Episode 2. | ||

| Narcissu | stage-nana / insani | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

|
Narcissu is a free visual novel by the dojin group stage-nana. The anonymous protagonist is diagnosed with an unspecified terminal illness shortly after his twentieth birthday, and is admitted to hospice care at a hospital in eastern Japan. There he meets Setsumi, a woman a few years his senior, who is also terminally ill. Finding that they both rejected the expectation that they will wish to die either in hospital or with their families, they run away together in a car belonging to the protagonist's father. They travel west across Japan's many highways and prefectures, initially not knowing where to go, but later collectively decided on taking the famous narcissus fields of southern Awaji Island as a somewhat arbitrary destination. Many of the scenes and events of the story are road-movie cliches. The work was originally written in Japanese by Tomo Kataoka, and subsequently localized and translated into English, Chinese, and Korean, by various fan translators. Unlike most fan translations, however, this was an authorised work and can be considered a semi-official localisation. Both the original Japanese visual novel and its English version were released as free downloads over the Internet. Narcissu is an experimental work: it uses minimalist graphics in a very narrow window, and includes two full scripts, one accompanied by a voice track, and the other adapted to work without voices. In the English translation, different translators translated each version, to provide multiple perspectives on the story. The original Japanese version uses the NScripter engine; for the English localization, the open source clone ONScripter was used instead, as this has been modified to support English. | ||

A friend of Martin's uncle is supposed to meet Martin upon his arrival to brief him on the mysterious discovery, however when he arrives in Prague he discovers she has been murdered. What begins as a short expedition to Prague to examine an enigmatic tunnel turns into a dangerous and thrilling mystery, where murder, deception, the deep dark secrets of the Nazis, and the demise of the Mayan civilization, have our hero reeling into the heart of an exhilarating adventure. | ||

Ever since the Olsen band Jr. was presented to us in 2001 as a Christmas calendar on TV2, we have now been fascinated by these three boys Egon, Benny and the little nervous Kjell. Nor should we forget about the lovely and sweet Valborg who is totally on the rooster after Kjell. In 2003, the movie "The Olsen Bands Go Under Water" was released and in 2004 came "The Olsen Band on the Rocker'n", which also became the most visited Norwegian film with more than 405,000 visitors. This time this original PC adventure story has roots back to the Viking Age. A group of criminals kidnaps a history teacher, who is a Viking expert, for him to show them a secret Viking tomb. The Olsen band contacts their old history teacher and gives this out on an exciting race to prevent the villains from discovering the tomb. Through 10 missions, players will solve the mystery. For every mission they manage, they get closer to the goal. As always, Olsenbanden Jr. has both cops and villains on his heels. | ||

| onEscapee | Invictus Games, Ltd. / Sadeness Software | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

According to the developers, onEscapee is a graphic action-adventure in the Flashback mould with a gameplay similar to Another World. The title is a combination of the two words one and escapee. One, because the hero is alone against the world, escapee, because he has escaped alien kidnappers. Gameplay is essentially an alternation of combat and puzzles, with the puzzles having some action elements too. OnEscapee was created by a Hungarian team. Naturally, they wanted it to be as international as possible and therefore kept text and speech to a minimum. They could support over 17 languages this way, but it also earned them one of the few criticisms back in 1997: some puzzles would really have benefitted from some explanation. When it arrived just in time for Christmas back in 1997, it was received enthusiastically by the Amiga community. It was generally deemed a worthy sequel to its declared model Flashback. One reviewer said some aspects reminded him of Myst, which had only just been ported to the Amiga, but it was more fun. A Windows version was released more than seven years later. Graphics have been redone in 640×480 hi-color, otherwise the game is unchanged. There are 7 levels to get through before things come to an end, containing lots of puzzles as well as tough action moments, many of the puzzles being timing-sensitive. You can die in several different ways, each one bringing an animated sequence to life. There is plenty of help for the early puzzles, which increases the chance of you becoming hooked, and allows you to adjust to the combat system. | ||

The two heroes of the long-running series, Vasilij Ivanovich Chapaev and his young assistant Petka (real historical figures who participated in the Russian civil war of 1918, but became the focus of countless jokes during the Soviet period) have to become a part of something they have not encountered before: the battle between the forces of Light and Darkness!.. And to think that it all started only because the two wanted to drink some beer... one event led to another, and in the end the heroes have to face ultimate evil in a scenario that is in many ways a parody on the famed Lord of the Rings. The gameplay is similar to that of the previous games in the series, being a traditional puzzle-solving adventure. This time, branching dialogue and logical puzzles have a more prominent place, along with the typical inventory-based tasks. Graphical style has changed, for the first time in the series: the backgrounds are pre-rendered instead of hand-drawn 2D, and character models are now three-dimensional. | ||

The first thing Davy does is teach Estelle how to groom the far's only horse, which the player gets to name. Later he teaches Estelle how to ride in dressage and on successful completion of the dressage course Estelle's horse earns experience points which can be used to learn new skills or improve endurance, sped or jumping height. Completion of tasks also earns Estelle benefits too as she finds when she next visits Mr Scrivener. It seems that great aunt Patricia attached certain conditions to the inheritance to make sure the stud farm passed to someone who liked horses. Passing the dressage test means that the solicitor will permit the development of either a beginner's show-jumping course or a beginner's cross-country course. As the game progresses he will authorise other work to be done such as the renovation of buildings and fences on the farm, the building of more advanced courses and the purchase of better horses. The game progresses in this manner with both the horse and Estelle gaining experience as they train and compete in horse riding events. In both the training and the competitions, if the player is unsuccessful the game allows the circuit / event to be repeated until success is achieved. The training and the competitions get harder as the game progresses. Pippa Funnell appears in the game making 'phone calls to Estelle and she also appears in the final competition. Estelle has a mobile 'phone through which she receives information about what to do next and a journal to remind her of the current task. The adventure story behind the game develops as Estelle gains in experience and centres on other characters who want the farm. The game is mainly controlled by the keyboard. The arrow keys move Estelle, whether mounted or otherwise, with specific keys defined for jumping and other horse riding actions such as saluting, leading in and so on. The mouse is used for grooming the horse, cleaning the stable as well as making selections when talking to the solicitor etc. | ||

Will they reconcile their shadowed and twisted past and survive the night? Prodigal features in-engine FMV, a first for an AGS game!

It contains a wide range of beautiful character art created in the Sierra style, drawn by the endlessly tallented Edgar Rocha. Prodigal 0 is a tangential story relating to Prodigal. In addition, those of you who've played this will know more about the story of Prodigal than those who don't. It's a short game, 5-10 minutes of play. | ||

|
|
This is one of the most fun adventures of recent years with unique elements but it hasn't done well in sales unfortunately. For years, the Psychonauts have deployed their psychically-armed operatives all over the world, but this time trouble is brewing right in their own backyard. Someone is abducting students from the Psychonaut boot camp - a deranged scientist who only wants their brains. One cadet - a mysterious and powerful new arrival named Raz - stands alone against the lunatic. Raz must develop and unleash an arsenal of paranormal powers, including telekinesis, firestarting, clairvoyance, and his most powerful weapon of all - the ability to launch himself telepathically into someone else's mind, and run around in the demented amusement park of their imagination. Raz takes on their inner demons face to face, wrestles with their nightmares, and digs up their secret memories. Ultimately he must enter the mind of his worst enemy and destroy his dark plans at their source, while trying not to lose his sanity in the process. Psychonauts is a quirky, offbeat game set in a special summer camp for clairvoyant kids, in which a group of psychic children end up in a wacky adventure filled with brain-stealing hijinks, psychic secret agents, and a little romance on top of everything else. It takes the platformer type of game and adds its psychic theme - which throws in some cool puzzle-solving to the usual platform-jumping and swinging. It also bears the unmistakable mark of designer Tim Schafer (known for classic adventure games Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, and Day of the Tentacle), thanks to a hilarious array of peculiar characters and a story that never fails to entertain. It doesn't reinvent the platformer, but it still delivers an experience that feels wholly original in every aspect of its execution. | ||

RHEM 2 is an intricate pure-puzzle first person adventure game, and the sequel to the popular RHEM. Made for PC and Mac by a 1-person development team, RHEM 2 rejoins Zetais and Kales as they now explore a hidden city far beneath the earth’s surface. Like its predecessor, RHEM 2 features non-linear gameplay, non-violent story, and mind-bending puzzles. The game is set as a direct sequel in story and gameplay to RHEM. Having discovered entry to a hidden underground city, you will venture ever deeper as you explore a maze of clandestine caves, secret rooms, and intricate walkways, tunnels and water systems. As you marvel at beautifully detailed environments and solve clever puzzles, you must search for an enigmatic artifact that must be found and photographed before you return to the surface. Rhem 2 is an adventure that relies heavily on solving puzzles to advance the story. The majority of the interaction entails working with electrical cables which will ultimately restore power to the various parts of the world. Players will encounter logic and mechanical puzzles, those dependent on colors or numbers as well as an open/close door maze-like puzzle. Manipulation of some puzzles requires locating specific clues about them in other parts of the underground caves. RHEM II SE - The Cave Special Edition (Oct/2018) expands the huge world of the original RHEM 2 by a new unseen area with many new puzzles and challenges. The additional goal is to find one quarter of a medaillion that you may need in the exploration of the upcoming RHEM V. | ||

This series of two games are free AGS adventures. Robotragedy - The game follows the exploits of a floating robot named Toby X, who is smitten with a famous robot actress named Robotinna. Robotinna has been kidnapped, and Toby is determined to rescue her. The plot moves forward in stages, with different areas accessible at certain times, and with changing goals as the game progresses. Toby begins the game trapped in a room in his spaceship home, and his aim is to escape the room in order to watch his favourite TV show. From here onwards the plot becomes confusing — Toby decides to visit another planet, Quoid, to try to find Robotinna, although quite why he chooses to go there is uncertain. Robotragedy 2: Countdown To Doomsday (released 2006) This time, the metallic hero is tracking down five pieces of an amulet to stop the dark lord Nazgu Bain, who has escaped his imprisonment in a black hole at the edge of the universe. Robotragedy 2 offers the same attractive, Day of the Tentacle-esque graphics as the first game. Unfortunately, the English translation still suffers from the same problems as well. Players who found the first game too hard should breathe a sigh of relief that the puzzles have been made a bit easier this time around. | ||

Samorost has become a cult classic amongst adventure gamers. The original free online Flash game has been played by millions, and captured imaginations around the world. Samorost 2 is a shareware title, with part one playable for free from the developer's website and the second part available at the price of $10 (USD). Although the new game is as short as its predecessor, it's a delightful game that is worth sampling all the way through to the end. It has no dialogue, inventory, or in-depth storyline to speak of, but is filled with enchanting levels and inventive puzzles. The little gnome from the original is fast asleep in his house when a pair of aliens land their spaceship in the garden and start to steal the fruit from the trees and then take off with his dog whose job it is to rescue and return home safe and sound. The first (free) section of the game ends with the rescue of the dog, while the second sees you trying to escape from an unknown planet back to your beloved home. The artwork in the levels is amazing and unique, with the creatures you interact with and the little details adding to the great atmosphere. The full game only takes about 2 hours to finish but it's highly recommended to all. For 15th anniversary, in Nov 5/2020, an Enhanced version free update has game now running in full-screen and with improved visuals, achieving higher resolution of assets thanks to a custom trained AI. Sounds have been revised and often re-recorded, too, giving the main character a wider range of vocal expressions, and more. The list of improvements continues with a new opening screen, simplified user interface, minor tweaks in game design, and achievements support. The outdated, level code-based save system was replaced with a more user-friendly level selection in the main menu. There's also the new zoom feature that allows you to explore the world from up close. The new and improved version brings: Enhanced graphics with full-screen support; A bunch of game design tweaks; Revamped save system (no more level codes!); New zoom feature; Achievements. | ||

This is an independent horror adventure from the maker of Lifestream. Amateur writer Jake Tobin, in search of material for his latest novel, has moved to the small, quaint town of Shady Brook with his blind father, Wayne. At first, the town seems very welcoming. Jake's new neighbor, Tim Richardson, seems friendly, and the Ekan family is always willing to lend a helping hand. But soon, mysterious things start happening in the town. One of the residents commits suicide, and Jake suspects a cover-up. Could this town take part in a conspiracy to cover up a murder? As Jake investigates, he gets more than he bargained for: a town secret so terrifying that there is no turning back. Because of its mature story and graphic depictions, it's deemed "not suitable for gamers under 17". In July/2016, a remake using a free-to-use game engine called Storycentric Worlds was released. It uses an illustrated text format with no parser for inputting one's own commands; instead, player interaction occurs though predetermined text choices unique to each scenario, including inventory use, and will contain more than 250 images and over an hour of music. Unlock 33 achievements to view a special post-game bonus scene. | ||

This is a lovely Flash point-and-click game from (fictitious) development company White Kiwi, this one will keep you busy for just a short while as it's only just 2 levels deep. It was created as a class project by a group of students. It's an organic point and click story of one creature's efforts to bring the world's seasons back into sync with the original Mayan 13 month calendar by arranging musical mushroom spots and solving floral reflection puzzle. It's easy to get lost in its beautiful world and tranquilizing soundtrack by Boards of Canada and Tycho. Simply click on the various objects within each scene to make things happen, and to solve the few puzzles it presents. Quite enjoyable, and very pretty. The world would be a better place with more games like this. | ||

| Soviet Unterzogersdorf: Sector 1 | monochrom | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

This is a fake history of the "last existing appanage republic of the USSR", Soviet Unterzoegersdorf pronounced «oon-taa-tsee-gars-doorf»). Created to discuss topics such as the theoretical problems of historiography, the concept of the "socialist utopia" and the political struggles of postwar Europe. The theoretical concept was transformed into an improvisational theatre/performance/LARP that lasted two days. This was to be the first part of a computer game trilogy and was made with AGS (Adventure Game Studio). It's a fun, albeit short game with a unique premise. The downfall of her motherland - the Soviet Union - in the early 1990s had a particularly bad effect on the country's economic situation. It is a great challenge to secure survival for the small but proud confederation. External reactionary forces put the country in danger. It's a lack of respect due to a morally corrupted and perhaps even non-existing unity of the peoples. The goal of a glorious future is almost unreachable. But there are a handful of people who don't give up on a vision for a better tomorrow. The game is a lot of fun to play, mostly because of its funny jokes and humorous swipes at the USSR and communism. Although puzzles are too easy and the game overall is a tad too short, the humor does carry the game all the way to completion. Digitized graphics and voice-acting are both excellent. If you are looking for a unique and fun adventure game set in the present day, look no further than this solid effort from an Austrian team. | ||

Stargate Adventure is a fun fanmade adventure game based on Stargate SG-1 TV series. Despite some awkward sentences due to the fact that the designer is not a native English speaker, plenty of neat how-does-this-alien-artifact-work puzzles and cool storyline more than outweigh this downside. The game lets you switch between three main characters from the TV show at any time, and their jovial banter - that is true to the TV show's spirit - keeps the game lively and atmospheric. The game starts with that most typical of all sci-fi beginnings: the away team is sent to explore on an alien planet. Along the way, you will find and fiddle with many alien devices, and many puzzles require collaboration between team members. Excellent VGA graphics, fun puzzles, and interesting storyline makes SGA highly reminiscent of Lucasarts' classic gem The Dig. With more polished grammar, this game would have ranked among the best freeware sci-fi adventure games ever made. | ||

Two separate murder cases, in two separate lifetimes - so alike... so similar in the smallest of details that one could believe they were performed by the same person.

Is someone copying an old serial killer .. or is it remotely possible that the same murderer is still alive and committing more crimes? Victoria McPherson is an FBI agent investigator based in Chicago. While visiting her father and talking about their family, they discuss her grandfather, former P.I. Gustav McPherson (from Post Mortem). Finding Gus' diary in an old attic trunk, she picks it up and begins to read.

Meet and talk with over 20 characters, explore Chicago and Prague and solve puzzles while investigating in two time periods. The game is rich in detailed characters; has gameplay rooted in real life logic, but with a story that twists its way into the classics; cinematics among the best of any game.

| Submachine Series | Mateusz Skutnik | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is one of the best series of escape the room type games and set inside of a series of submerged machines. Submachine (Sep/2005) Crisp and attractive graphics are pleasantly complemented by atmospheric sound and effects to enhance the overall experience. It's a straightforward and polished point-and-clicker that is accessible to most anyone. Submachine remix (Oct/2005) - An extended version boasting twice as many rooms, a new puzzle and an alternate ending. Submachine 2: The Lighthouse (Jun/2006) While the first game had 20 rooms, this one has a total of 98 unique rooms, and the puzzles are a lot tougher but with no dead end. Submachine 3: The Loop (Aug/2006) - You'll usually find a map in the room to your right as the level begins, and it marks the location of clues you'll need to help you figure out how to unlock the exit. A coordinate system helps to navigate the massive world, and without it you could literally move from room to room until you passed out from exhaustion. The coordinates actually play a big part in solving the game's riddles, so if you're stuck, just look at the room number. Puzzles range from simple to moderately complex, but none of them are utterly impossible. Submachine Zero: Ancient Adventure (Sep/2006) - a spectacularly detailed but easy adventure that offers similar mood and mystique and engaging and compelling game play. It was made to be entered in a Jay Is Games competition. Submachine 4: The Lab (Apr/2007) promises that to takes us to the heart of the submachine, the place where all the questions will finally be answered. Submachine: Future Loop Foundation (Jun/2007) - This was made especially for the music band Future Loop Foundation, so don't be surprised if you find elements pointing to that band and their latest album, "Memories from a fading room" within the game. Basically it's out of the main story line, but there are a few elements that could lead You to some interesting theories about the meaning of the submachine itself. Submachine 5: The Root (Jan/2008) - brings the player to what was perhaps the beginning of your long, arduous adventure, the first created Submachine structure. It is the "root" of your quest, and for the first time a bit of light is shed on why and how your journey began. It now has an automatic note-taking function. A significant part of the pleasure of playing the games are the "aha!" moments when a connection is made between one chapter or another, when the dimensions of the story begin to be perceived. The mystery infused into the series is what makes them truly special. Submachine 6: The Edge (Oct/2009) - With hidden areas and notes left behind from previous explorers, the game is filled with a personality that makes it stand out as much more than just a simple escape game. We get treated to more of the story and mood that made all of the previous games so compelling to play. From the sound effect to the way the landscape reacts to your actions, every aspect of the game perfectly captures the environment. Submachine: Network Exploration Experience (Jun/2010) - There are no puzzles to solve and no definite endpoint. Rather, it's your chance to explore the vast reaches of the Submachine network. Fans of the series will recognize the teleportation devices that whisk you from one area to the next, and once you find some location codes you can be on your way. You will also find notes describing theories about the Submachine. These have been gleaned from the Pastel Games forums and are written by fans of the series. Some of the locations even seem to be constructed to affirm certain theories. It's a great way to get fans involved in the series while providing more mysteries to ponder. Submachine: 32 Chambers (Aug/2010) - In Submachine 4, there was a note mentioning thirty-two chambers filled with sand. Somehow, you've gotten teleported into this subterranean world. Do you need to escape? Or is there some higher purpose that's summoned you here? In addition to the obvious sand, it evokes the exploration mood associated with sandbox games. There's no obvious goal at first; you need to figure that out yourself. Submachine 7: The Core (Dec/2010) - Go deeper into the subnet than ever before. Within the ruins of an otherworldly garden, will you finally find the answers you've been seeking, or will more questions arise to taunt you? The Core combines clean, beautiful visuals and top-notch atmosphere with some wonderfully tricky gameplay to create an experience that will draw you in and keep you guessing. Submachine 8: The Plan (Sep/2012) - Murtaugh is back and has created portals within portals, opening up a world of multi-layered madness. Navigation through each layer (using the customary changing cursor) depends upon your ability to visualize and move between levels to jump blind alleys and other obstacles. The changing cursor also indicates items that can be taken and used elsewhere which is pretty much the entire game dynamic. Submachine 9: The Temple (Mar/2014) You awaken in what looks like the ruins of a strange civilization, only some seemingly busted electronics and a hammer to your name. It marries the otherworldly with the mechanical in its design, encouraging you to poke and prod at everything you see. What often looks baffling in its construction always reveals its own logical use when you start putting the pieces together and learning the way your new realm works. The Temple's construction feels a lot more linear in terms of the way its laid out compared to locations in other games, which makes finding your way around a lot easier. Solving the puzzles? Not so much, but not in any fashion that makes them obstinate or unreasonable. Submachine 10: The Exit (Dec/2015) The final chapter in the series is also available in Fullscreen HD version that can be purchased in addition to the free version. On Oct 13/2023, Submachine: Legacy was released as a complete remaster of the entire Submachine series. It includes all Submachines from main storyline (1-10) as well as Submachine: Zero, Submachine: FLF and Submachine: 32 Chambers. | ||

Also, and most important for an adventure, the story is masterly told and the puzzles are reasonable. | ||

Well, there hasn't been a crime in two months. And there isn't a single criminal to be found in the whole town either. Your job as Supergirl is to expose the imposter Supergirl for what she is, put a stop to her plans, and find out what happened to the criminals of the city. | ||

A tragic accident separates James from his wife Roxanne on the day before their 5th anniversary when Roxanne gets hit by a car while crossing the street near their apartment. While fighting for her life in the Intensive Care Unit, she appears before him in a dream suggesting that the accident was intentional. Why was she targetted? Will she survive? How can James find out the truth? Will the fortune teller be able to help him? One thing's for sure, he won't be playing his cardgame on friday... or will he? It's an old skool adventure similar to the Sierra and LucasArts games from the nineties. The difference lies in the use of a 3D rendered environment and the option to control the game either through a point-and-click interface and/or a text-parser (just type what you want to do). It has 11 mandatory puzzles (some of them need combinations), 22 easter eggs (some of them are puzzles), 3 gamble games, 12 original soundtracks, humour, emotions and suspense. | ||

| Three Weeks In Paradise | Mikro-Gen / Team SpecNG | [top] | |

|
Three Weeks in Paradise is a superb PC remake of a classic Spectrum ZX action/adventure game of the same name from Mikro-Gen. Your goal as the bumbling hero Wally Week is to rescue several family members who have been caught by cannibals. To do this, you must collect various items and use them in appropriate places, in time-honored adventure game tradition. The game is a 2D adventure game similar to the Dizzy series. While it is not the first one starring Wally, it is the first game in this series that features an inventory, so you won't have to do the annoying pick up / drop / pick up routine you have to do in Dizzy games. The puzzles range from obvious to deviously difficult, and most of them are based on either horrible (and I mean that in the nicest sense) puns, or else a lot of lateral thinking - if you have played Infocom's Nord and Bert and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you'll have a good idea of what to expect in TWIP (although the puzzles are not as clever). There are also some arcade-ish portions where you must dodge dangerous things, but they are few and far between so as not to frustrate adventure gamers. Like Mikro-Gen's other classic Pyjamarama (which also has been remade into a very nice-looking PC version), much of the fun in TWIP is the (very British) humor that permeates the entire game, especially in Wally's exclamations and mannerisms. The scrolling message line at the bottom of the screen that shows cryptic clues and cries for help from Wally's family is also a nice touch, and a good way of letting you know how much you have progressed and what you need to do next. All in all, a very nice remake that keeps intact the charm of the original game, while upgrading the graphics to 21st century. | ||

This is an award-winning online mystery puzzle game where you are an investigator who is trying to reconstruct the life of Tulse Luper – the main character in Peter Greenaway’s transmedia project The Tulse Luper Suitcases. Tulse Luper was a writer and collector (presumed dead in 1978), who spent most of his life under lock and key. His life was shrouded in mystery and doubt, but it seems that he was present at some of the key historical events of the 20th Century. During the game, players are challenged to solve ninety-two Flash mini games corresponding to ninety-two suitcases left behind by Luper. The reward for each game that is won is a one-minute film fragment, which can then be traded with other players. The goal is to collect all ninety-two fragments and share your findings in a global online community. Update: The 92 mini games can still be played and explored, but trading only works when other players are present that are willing to trade. Two books and three feature films (The Tulse Luper Suitcases Parts 1-3) were released to supply material to the Flash/Web designers who competed in a contest to make one of the 92 Flash-based "suitcase" games featured on the interactive, online site. In 2005, after the winner of the online game finished a free trip following the travels of Luper, an additional "final" feature, A Life In Suitcases (subtitled "The Tulse Luper Journey") was released. | ||

In this not so distant past, the far side of the moon conjured up the most fascinating theories. Even some of the world's greatest scientific minds believed that our natural satellite had an atmosphere that could, and did, support various life forms. Based on the premise of Verne's novel, VOYAGE follows as a group of scientists create a space capsule with the intent of landing on the moon's surface. Where as in the novel, their mission fails, leaving them floating high above the lunar surface, in this fascinating adventure, they succeed. As scientist Michel Ardan, players are able to wander the surface of the moon and witness the explosion of plant life at dawn. Soon they will encounter the Selenite City, the home of an ancient but highly intelligent race, the Selenites. With each step of the journey, questions arise as to the fate of the Selenite people: Did they deteriorate, like so many of the statues they left behind? Did they leave the surface to seek refuge in the center of the moon? Once players answer these questions, they may find their way to back to earth with news of their fantastic discoveries. The game features a variety of ingenious puzzles and a unique, built in Intelligence Management system. Actions made by the player throughout the game, as well as the puzzles they solve, are awarded points, raising their score and earning the respect of the Selenites. Along the journey, players will interact with a huge cast of mysterious characters and creatures. | ||

Long ago in the land of Xanaria, there lived a great and powerful wizard, Ophiuchus. Ophiuchus was the Royal Mage (under King Ethor III), and he was as good and pure as his White Magic. The same cannot be said, however, of his vile brother, Salorann, who is also known as the "Dark Sorcerer". One night, Ophiuchus had a dream in which he saw Salorann among Dragons. He saw him swear allegiance to the King of Dragons, Stolm, in order to learn the otherwise-forbidden lore of Dragon Magic. He saw Salorann grow powerful, so powerful in fact that his power dwarfed that of his brother. In this same dream, he saw Salorann lead an army of Dragons to Castle SerpentHead. He saw a battle, and the face of a fallen King; he saw a strange staff, and he heard a voice saying, "Seek ye the Book of Serpents." Many years after the death of Ophiuchus, his grandson Cendric became the Royal Mage - the leading magician of the kingdom. He experienced a prophetic dream much like his grandfather's. He saw the unthinkable - the return of the Dark Sorcerer. They had but one chance for victory - the great SerpentScepter which his grandfather assembled. Cendric went on a great quest to bring back the parts of the SerpentScepter... But that was years ago, and now the Dark Sorcerer has taken control of the kingdom and the villagers live in fear. Many have attempted to find the Scepter -- many have left; few have returned. Those brave enough to enter the castle to challenge Salorann must do so armed with only with their wits.

This popular game, in which you play a modern girl who is transported into the body of a princess in feudal Japan whose life is being targeted by ninja assassins. In order to save poor Hatsuhime, you must befiend several rough-around-the-edges ronin types and get them to help you. An innovative game with many choices and potential endings, and a large cast of interesting characters. Set in feudal Japan where the Mochizuki clan is wracked by a war of succession, and the clan princess -- a tomboy notorious for her misbehavior -- is the first target for assassination. The central storyline of Yojimbo involves the princess's three eccentric bodyguards' attempts to save her from the sinister machinations of her would-be assassins. In the game you play the character of Sayori, a more-or-less ordinary high school student who is spending her summer vacation helping at an archaeological excavation. One day in the ruins, you happen to notice something shining half-buried in the mud. When you look more closely, you realize it is a pendant, and you pick it up. And thus the story begins. That night, a girl appears to you in a dream, begging you to save her. She is Hatsuhime, princess of the Mochizuki clan, and she was murdered a hundred and fifty years ago. The pendant that you found is the only thing she left behind. The next morning, you wake up in a place you have never been before - a place that still feels strangely familiar. You are living in Hatsuhime's time, in Hatsuhime's castle, in Hatsuhime's body, and it is your job to save her from her tragic destiny. It seems impossible - until you meet a group of wandering samurai. In Japan the Yo-jin-bo game has inspired two drama CDs, two music CDs and a graphic novel adaptation. The three bodyguards are voiced by some of Japan's top voice talent including Hiroki Takashi (Hunter x Hunter), Hideo Ishikawa (Bleach, Kingdom Hearts), and Masakuzu Morita (Gundam Seed Destiny). The english version was released in 2006. | ||

This Japanese game whose title means Dream Diary is an exploration-based horror game made with RPG Maker. The gameplay consists of exploring the dreams of a young girl, Madotsuki. The game begins in Madotsuki's room, with little to do except for going to bed. Once Madotsuki goes to sleep, she ends up in her "dream world". It is made up of many areas connected with doors and teleporters, filled with surreal, unsettling imagery, strange landscapes and bizarre creatures, most of them completely harmless. The areas are quite diverse, and reaching some of them requires lots of searching. The main objective of the game is to find and collect 24 "effects", objects which can be obtained by talking to the strange dream denizens. Each "effect" gives some ability, usually a purely cosmetic one - e.g. "long hair" turns Madotsuki's hair long, "towel" wraps her in a towel (and gives her the ability to sneeze cutely), and "knife" allows her to kill creatures. Madotsuki can pinch her cheek at any time to wake up and go back to her room, where she can write an entry in her dream diary (a way to save the game) before going back to sleep. Originally a little-known game that became popular on the Japanese forum 2channel, the game gained a following outside of Japan after an unofficial English translation was released. After gaining a cult following on 2channel, popularity of the game quickly increased by viral means amongst Japanese gamers. Yume Nikki was ranked 14 of the most downloaded programs in 2010 from Vector, a popular Japanese download site, out of a total of approximately 100,000 downloadable software, as listed in the 2010 Vector Awards. In 2018, an official English version was released. | ||

This is an action-oriented racing game with a catch: all twelve selectable drivers are female. But because we are talking about a video game here all of them have jobs like "porn star", "party bitch" or "pole dancer". So the main reason why there are no male drivers is because the most potential buyers don't want to see almost-naked men in their menu screens. With that issue out of the way we can now concentrate on the game itself. As usual the player wants to become the number one during the career mode. When he wins races he receives prize money which he reinvests in his car. In the tuning garage he can buy special maneuvers, e.g. a turbo boost, or just better parts like a new engine. Before every championship he makes a contract with a sponsor which grants him extra money when reaching a certain goal, e.g. winning all races. The race winner is not inevitably the one who crosses the finishing line first. The game rewards drivers with points when accomplishing good performances, e.g. sliding, perfect turns or leading the race for a certain time. On the other hand there are also negative points for actions like getting overtaken or crashing into something. The driver with the most points wins the race. During the career mode he unlocks more courses and playing modes, e.g. duels where he needs to crash the other cars, long jumping or speed races where the drivers need to maintain a certain speed. Overall there are eight cars and 15 courses. | ||

Villains include SUSPECTRA chief Dr Nogo and the local bosses of the districts: Kizzi Mi, Oddjaw and Max Schmertz. The game was only released in non-English European countries. | ||

| Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum | Etrange Libellules / Atari | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Made by a French developer where the characters were created and are very popular, it's faithful to the tradition of parody that runs throughout the Asterix stories. Atari's latest Asterix offering is an explosive video game crammed with surprising encounters that parody the greatest icons of the video game world and is awash with wry references to many of the great moments that have marked over 25 years of video game history. Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum takes you on an action-packed tour of the astonishing "Las Vegum" theme park. In this original scenario, Getafix the famous druid is behaving very strangely, and all the other renowned druids of the Roman Empire have disappeared. Las Vegum, "the city of games," is the brainchild of the visionary Julius Caesar. Its labyrinthine streets will lead you through the districts of Little Paris, WCW, LuckSore, Little Venetia, Pirate Island, and even SeizeUs Palace. Along the way, the programme for Caesar's farcical festivities is packed with pumped-up Romans alongside some curiously familiar characters paying tribute to the wider world of video games. And who other should top the bill than Centurion Larry Craft – who insists on jumping around in canvas shorts, rather than wear a skirt like everybody else. Fortunately Asterix and Obelix can count on the aid of a repentant Roman spy with inside knowledge of new-fangled techniques: Sam Shieffer. A Remastered Edition was released in Nov/2018 with Enhanced graphics: New textures and models for all characters and enemies; New textures and lighting for environments. Improved gameplay: A new system of store that changes and adds upgrades compared with the original game. These stores are located in the six game environments and allow players to increase their skills thanks to new techniques, combos and Furies. This system is similar to a conventional skills tree. Cosmic Strike and Pantry: two new skills to help overcome enemies. Health bar upgrade: the health bar can be upgraded as the player progresses through the game in order to reach a higher maximum health level. Addition of three difficulty levels: easy, normal and hard. A new addition to the remastered version: challenges. Challenges are bonus missions focused on fighting. The aim is to beat as many Romans as possible within a given time. There are two challenges in each of the six game environments, making 12 in total. The bronze rank is easily accessible and is a good way to earn money but reaching the Gold rank is a real challenge. A new collectibles system: Postcards are now hidden in the levels, collecting all of them requires to fully explore the game. Figurines, now in 3D, can be unlocked in the shop. A new Fast Travel system: once you unlocked a level, you can easily go back thanks to fast travel and find the missing collectibles. | ||

Designed and created over five years by Daisuke Amaya, it has been translated by fans to English by Aeon Genesis. Cave Story begins with an amnesiac soldier finding a city of rabbits (called Mimigas). The Mimigas are preyed on by an evil doctor, who kidnaps them for his evil experiments. The Mimigas still remember Arthur, a hero from their past and others are awaiting for the return of Dragons. The soldier soon falls in with Sue, a stranger to the Mimigas, but the only one who seems to know about the Dragon Eggs. Unfortunately the doctor wants her next.

| Charlie And The Chocolate Factory | Backbone / Global Star | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Based on the hit Tim Burton film and the classic Roald Dahl book, you play as Charlie Bucket, the poor lad who wins a golden ticket entitling him to a tour of the chocolate factory of reclusive weirdo Willy Wonka. The only difference between movie and game is that whenever one of Charlie's golden-ticket-holding comrades -Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Mike Teavee - is punished for his or her sins (which, respectively, are gluttony, greed, arrogance, and anger) here, you play a minigame to rescue them...or at least make sure that they don't come to too much harm. The minigames are way too easy, even for little kids. They all center on simple tasks like collecting magical lollipops, clicking on mushrooms to save Augustus Gloop from the chocolate river, tilting a table to collect candies, bouncing the blueberry version of Violet Beauregarde around like a pinball, and clicking on Oompa-Loompas in the correct order to start them singing a rowing song. Poor controls make the minigames even harder to endure. You often have to click on a location two or three times before Charlie starts to move, and even when he does get going, the pathfinding is so atrocious that he gets stuck on every gumdrop and candy cane in sight. | ||

However, this high soon turns into a low, when the sky actually DOES fall on Chicken Little, and he must recruit his band of misfit friends to defend Oakey Oaks from alien invasion and ultimately save the day.

A simulation game that aims to be No. 1 in the convenience store chain. As an owner, you can experience everything from the management strategy of the entire business to the sales strategy at the store. Start with a small store and develop while competing with rival chains. There are various goals such as the number of stores, the number of customers, the amount of sales, the increase in population, the relocation of the capital, etc., and the process is realistically developed by reproducing the sales activities of convenience stores as they are. In addition to introducing a word-of-mouth effect that more realistically reflects the expiration date of each product and even the atmosphere of the city, it is equipped with a POS function that shows how to sell each product shelf. Various scenarios are developed by the conquest method. In addition to sales and profits, expenses such as purchasing and labor costs, customer unit prices, and even customer evaluations are reported on a daily / monthly / yearly basis. It is also possible to check each numerical value including rival stores in a graph. In addition, the data capacity has been quadrupled, making it possible to enjoy actual convenience store management. The thoughts such as "If it is such a town, such customers may come" and "If such a layout is used, sales may increase" are clearly reflected, and more severe management skills are required. Reflecting the real world of competing with various ideas during the ever-increasing "convenience store" war era, depending on the development of the scenario, it will be possible to install it on the same site such as a gas station or hot spring, and it will be possible to increase the ability to attract customers. The voices of customers using convenience stores will spread as word-of-mouth, and we will listen to good and bad reputations and aim to create a beloved convenience store. | ||

Different levels depict increasingly complicated restaurants and each one has more equipment covering the floor. Such items to be retrieved and served are drinks (3 sizes), ice cream (3 flavors), fries (which must be fried but not for too long), and burgers (which must be fried just the right amount of time, then prepared, then served). 2 players can compete against each other on the same floor with 2 different registers. Watch out for obstacles on the floor, such as random banana peels that can put the player out of commission for a few seconds. The goal in each level is to successfully serve a certain number of customers while never exceeding a certain number of irate walk-off customers. | ||

This is a real-time strategy game set in the southern states of post-apocalyptic America with some RPG elements. Unlike other RTS titles, there is no base building. Instead, the focus is entirely on combat between small groups of armored vehicles. The main character is Brad, part of a small and generally peaceful community. When the settlement is attacked and his girlfriend is kidnapped, he sets out with a band of friends to wreak vengeance and save his love. The light-hearted story is told through comic book cutscenes as well as in-mission dialog. The game is spread over 29 missions, with multiple objectives ranging from defense, to rescue, to all-out assault. The control scheme (and even the hot-keys) are strongly reminiscent of Command & Conquer, while the highly-detailed isometric visuals are similar in style to the first two Fallout games. The graphics are a mix of 2D backgrounds with 3D-modelled vehicles and destructible elements. 'Hero' characters must be kept alive. Each of these people has individual stats which increase with experience. Their stats give benefits to the vehicle they're riding in (e.g. better firepower or better handling). There are also specialized characters like the mechanic, who can repair damaged vehicles. The engine is a modified version of the one used in Nival's Blitzkrieg series. | ||

This is an impressively faithful replication of the look, feel, sound and gameplay of Castlevania 2 for the NES. It is more than just a remake, however, as it builds on the original by adding new areas, new items, new quests, new music, and even new characters to play as. As you adventure, you can now gain a number of extra characters who follow you around, and whom you switch between at any time - a bit similar to Castlevania 3. While some of the map layout is the same (or very similar) from Castlevania 2, the plot and dialogue have been changed completely, and new areas and items have been added. New tunes also populate the game as well, ranging from remixes of classic Castlevania songs to completely new pieces that have a somewhat German feel to them and fit in very well with the atmosphere of the game. | ||

| DROD: Journey To Rooted Hold | Caravel Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Also called DROD 2.0, the game includes many new additions and improvements, such as an expanded plot complete with in-game dialogue, higher resolution graphics; better user interfaces in both the editor and in game; new monsters and puzzle elements; additional customizability for holds, scripting system and connectivity to an online DROD database. Several commercial holds were released that are compatible with Journey to Rooted Hold, these are: Perfection, Halph Stories, Beethro's Teacher, Journey's End. In Larry Murk's Perfection, the story continues immediately after the end of DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold. Beethro comes upon a strange sect of evangelical dungeon architects called the Perfectionists. These odd characters take math and geometry about as seriously as you can take it. Eighth enthusiasts won't want to miss the events that take place. To solve the puzzles in this hold, you'll need to be a bit of a Perfectionist yourself. This is truly a difficult hold to complete, perhaps the most difficult ever? Lock the door, unplug the phone, and set aside ten or a hundred hours to plow through this one. You got some tough smiting ahead with 77 rooms to conquer. Halph Stories includes two holds that feature Beethro's annoying nephew, Halph. We used this issue to gracefully retire the current version of the Halph game element, which is a little fellow that can open doors for Beethro. I don't want to spoil it for you, but if you play to the end of DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold, there is an event which changes Beethro's relationship with Halph significantly. Since it became impossible to include Halph in our holds without breaking the rules of the story, we decided this issue would be the last that uses Halph (at least in his current form). The two included holds are, by necessity, off-canon--or in other words, they do not continue the official story of DROD. But I think you will still enjoy the storytelling aspects of these holds. Beethro's Teacher - a new hold by Henri Kareinen that tells Beethro's story of a newfound mentor. What can you teach Beethro? He's stubborn, grumpy, and has his own ideas on how to do things. Perhaps it's time for him to be more openminded and accept a little help from a stranger. This hold is considered one of the hardest released to date. In the next set, Beethro comes to the end of the High Path, just outside Rooted Hold where the story continues in DROD: The City Beneath. Listening to popular demand, we turned the difficulty level down to give you and Beethro a break. One of the two holds included, Smitemastery 101 is an introductory adventure designed for children or perhaps just the less-determined. The other hold, Master Locks is brought to you in two different versions, normal and hard, so you can choose your challenge. | ||

An earlier free game from the makers of Penumbra, the Energetic project aims to enlighten and educate teenagers about the production and consumption of energy within our society. Rather than being an educational game, we hope Energetic can be a fun way to spark an interest in energy consumption. Energetic plays like a classic platform game, but with an advanced "hidden" system. This system creates a link between the player, world, objects and enemies. All actions by the player affects the world and this requires the player to have a deeper commitment to the game and make sure he/she isn't neglecting the outcome of his/her doings. With an innovating control and interaction solution the game-play will remain subtle, with an easy learning curve, yet challenging and fresh. Energetic is a technology demonstration of this idea and can be viewed as a small part of a full game. | ||

Based on the hit 20th Century Fox film, Fantastic Four is a team based action adventure in which players harness the Marvel superheroes' unique and amazing powers through a compelling single-player mode or two-player co-operative gameplay experience. Authored by Zak Penn, the writer of the movie X2: X-Men United, the game's storyline follows the Fantastic Four movie plot and expands the adventures by letting players stretch, control fire and use invisibility and brute force to defeat evil super-villains in new environments and familiar comic book locales. Challenged to master each super hero's individual powers and combine them to level even more devastating attacks, players must battle the never-before-seen enemies and the ultimate evil - Doctor Doom - to save the human race from disaster. Mr. Fantastic can stretch in order to attack from a distance, squeeze into tight spaces and reach places no one else can. He can use his brainpower to hack computers, override security systems and take control of your enemy's weapons. The Invisible Girl can perform stealth moves with ninja-like speed or immobilize enemies through telekinetic powers and sneak into areas not available to others. The Human Torch creates walls of fire and supernova fireballs while hovering, or shoots fire from his fingertips and bends flames as you ward off enemies. The Thing uses brute force to pick up heavy objects or tear them apart, break through walls and obstacles and obliterate your enemies. You control the Fantastic Four as a team with dynamic character switching, team-based combat and two-player co-op mode. | ||

| Gogatsu no Sora / May Sky [J] | Scrubbing | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
May Sky is a work with an unusual history. Originally written in Adobe Flash and released one chapter at a time online by Scrubbing in early 2005, it was converted into an installable NScripter-based distribution in August 2005, and has been well-regarded in the freeware novel game scene ever since. Unlike most Flash-based novel games, this one has substantial length — it takes about 2-4 hours to read through the entire piece. Independent novel game reviewer NaGIsa gives this piece a "recommended" rating, noting that while the scenario is strongly written and the music is well-chosen, for a supposedly romantic piece it doesn't feel all that romantic. The story depicted in the piece is as unusual as the piece's history: here we have Haruki Mizoguchi, a newly-minted salaryman who is suffering from the freshman blues, and really doesn't care about anyone around him. And over there we have Minori Kamiake, a world-weary young shrine maiden who, despite her giggly conversations with her school "friends", really couldn't care less about any of that. When taken separately, these two individuals are malcontents, square pegs struggling to fit into round holes, adrift and alone in a society where solidarity is all that matters. When taken together, though ... well, suffice it to say that they can be pretty mean to each other. Like Moonshine, May Sky is a tale of two people who find themselves slipping through the cracks in Japanese society. It is a tale made possible by the economic stress and the social upheaval of the Lost Decade. It is in equal parts romantic, comedy and a stark commentary on the treacherous no-man's-land between one's "public face" and one's "private face". It is all of these things and more. But perhaps most importantly, it is a tale of two hearts learning — often painfully — to beat as one. | ||

This is a fun little Zelda-ish game by the creator of Akuji The Demon. This casts you as Tela, a boy whose sister has fallen ill. Nobody knows what's wrong with her, so there seems to be no cure, but legends tell of healing waters in Paradise, so Tela sets out to find the fabled land and save his sister. He encounters elemental spirits along the way, which provide magic, and the basis for the game's puzzle system. His MP gauge is carefully regulated, and can be replenished by picking up the magic coins that scatter when enemies are destroyed. The coins are plentiful so there's no real need to worry about magic except in certain situations, but that's usually part of a puzzle. You can only have one elemental spirit summoned at any given time; destroy an enemy of an alternate element and pick up its different-colored magic coins to summon a different elemental. The system is quite simple at heart, and is easy to get used to, but it allows for some very interesting puzzles. | ||

This is a humorous 2D point-and-click adventure about feuds with neighbors, with themes and gameplay very similar to the Neighbors from Hell series. It is loosely based on the German TV comedy series of the same name. The aim of the game is to drive your neighbour insane and play a number of nasty pranks on him. The player is able to set traps, remove pets and do other nasty things with the ultimate goal to get the neighbour out of their apartment or house. In the game there are 10 different areas in which the player can roam (library, bathroom, living room, terrace, corridor, kitchen, greenhouse, sauna, cellar and pool) and place his traps. The player is able to enter the neighbouring house and manipulate the environment. If the player is caught, a life is lost, unless he carries around an item that can be used as a good excuse for his presence there. | ||

This sequel game based on the hit Pixar animated film picks up moments after the first game (and the movie) ends. Only this time, it's a far more action-oriented approach with little deviation into other genres. There's a greater emphasis on multiplayer too, with the entire game supporting two-player cooperative play. You can switch between the two main characters on the fly (Mr. Incredible and Frozone). Each superhero has their unique abilities. Mr. Incredible, for instance, can throw objects at enemies, lift heavy items and smash through obstacles. Frozone, on the other hand, can merely freeze things. And here's the problem: the game relies on the action of two live players so much that playing solo just doesn't offer a compelling experience. Enemies don't put up much of a fight, even in later stages, and many of them adhere to a handful of simple attack routines. Some launch projectiles while others use melee attacks. By defeating enemies, you'll gain experience points to purchase new abilities or health increases. These upgrades also increase the power of your existing moves and let you carry more "super" moves. | ||

| La-Mulana | GR3 Project / NIGORO | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a platform title that was five years in development and was designed to look like an MSX game. This is not only reflected in the controls and the graphics, the protagonist also carries a fictive Super Laptop MSX with him that is used in-game. It is based on an earlier web game called Naramura, by the same author. The protagonist is Lemeza Kosugi, an archaeologist who returns to his study after a lecture at a university to discover an envelope with no return address. It is by his father, who disappeared a long time ago and now claims to have found the hidden land of La Mulana. Lemeza sets off to follow his trail and to investigate the land himself. Although the game mechanics are fairly simple, the game is very large in scope. The character moves between different non-scrolling screens that form broad maps. Lemeza can jump and use his whip to attack enemies. When returning to a previous screen, all enemies have respawned. There is a large focus on puzzle solving by pressing switches, moving blocks and using a hand scanner and other tools to decipher messages. During the game additional weapons can be acquired such as a mace, a knife, an axe, shurikens, a pistol and many more. At all times Lemeza can wield a single main weapon and a secondary tool. Although most enemies do little damage (opposed to the bosses), there are very few means to restore health and Lemeza will usually need to carefully explore the environment, avoid traps and then use an item to teleport back to the village before venturing inside the ruins again. Most puzzles are quite complex and some effects are visible on screens far away from the trigger. The portable MSX computer plays a large role. Lemeza can collect cartridges that allow him to save the game, provide maps and grant special effects. Players also need to discover treasure and items that are stored in an inventory. Later the MSX can be upgraded or replaced to make room for more cartridges, sustain heat or to use it underwater. At the beginning of the game, Lemeza only has a small health bar. This can be extended by collecting life jewels. Killing enemies provides experience and they sometimes leave behind coins, also found in chests. In the village these can be exchanged for items in the shops. A straight playthrough takes about ten hours, while playing the game for the first time will take between 25 and 40 hours to complete. Messages left behind by deceased adventures gradually explain the myths and events. In 2012 a commercial remake with tuned difficulty level and up-to-date graphics and music when compared to the original version was made available for $15. | ||

Originally designed as the heroes of a teaser game for phenomedia's Sven Bomwollen series, these garden gnomes dressed in leather are slightly different. As soon as the leather dwarves feel unobserved, they cut loose in the most shameless manner. The player's objective is to keep them from performing their pervert actions with the - mouse controlled - whip in order to obtain a lot of points. One must not get diverted by the dwarves' animated poses or their insolent comments. This could mean a loss of points or worse. There are different settings like the garden, the greenhouse or the darkroom. As a bonus, there are two extra mini games included: "Dance the leather dwarf" - Make the dwarf dance to cool beats. The better your sense of rhythm, the higher the score. "Sing Sing! - The dwarves prove their singing talent and you have to repeat the lyrics. | ||

This is probably one of the better kids' games to hit the market in awhile, and that it's clever and charming enough to appeal to adults is a testament to that fact. The world's most successful film series meets the world's most successful toy in this brilliantly conceived alliance where you can play the most memorable and exhilarating scenes from The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith including pod racing on Mos Espa, the repelling of the droid onslaught in the Genosian arena and Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon's fatal fight with Darth Maul. Besides controlling the likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2, notorious dark side enemies such as Jango Fett, Darth Maul and Count Dooku appear in thrilling showdowns. As you progress through the game you unlock many new characters including those from the Dark Side, and you must switch between them to solve puzzles using their special abilities. Each episode is broken up into multiple chapters, each re-creating memorable sequences from the films. You'll only have control over a single character at a time, but you'll usually have at least one computer-controlled companion with you, and at times that number can grow to a healthy half-dozen. You can switch between any characters in your party on the fly. Jedi characters come equipped with lightsabers and the ability to "Force move" various objects; Astromech droids (the R2D2 trash-can-style droids) can hover for short distances and can also be used to unlock certain doors; and characters like Padme Amidala are armed solely with a blaster and don't have the Jedi double-jump, but they can use grappling hooks to pull their way up to otherwise unreachable areas. Every level has a ton of puzzles that can only be solved by a specific character in your party or by several characters working together. There are several big boss fights and straight-up combat too. Though it's not too difficult a game and can be finished fairly quickly, the replayability with different characters opens up many different areas. | ||

In Lugaru the players takes under his control an anthropomorphic rabbit, adept of various melee and long-range combat techniques. His name is Turner, his wife has been killed and his only son kidnapped by a band of rogue raiders. At first, the task seems clear, however soon a tangled up conspiracy begins to unravel itself. The brave kung-fu rabbit will have to face wolves, bandits and even treacherous friends to fully understand what exactly is going on. The prominent feature of Lugaru is a unique combat system that takes advantage of skeleton animation in mix with rag-doll physics. The players will have access to various actions at their disposal, each one resulting in different move depending on the context in which the action was performed. The list include simple attacks, attack reversals, counter-reversals, long-range knife attack and a strong rabbit kick. Sometimes, it stands to reason to remain undetected and sneak up on the enemies from behind taking them out one by one. As the game progresses, additional weapons become available, like sword or staff, each one with the techniques of their own. Lugaru HD got a more modern, graphical makeover while still staying true to the game’s spirit with an HD texture pack. | ||

Have you ever wanted to try running your own movies studio? The Movies gives you that opportunity by putting you in the shoes of an aspiring movie mogul starting in 1920s Hollywood. Hire directors and actors for your films, ensuring they get enough acting/directing practice to ensure they'll give their best performances. Be careful not to stress them too much though or next thing you'll know, they'll be drowning their sorrows with alcohol (or food). Don't forget to recruit builders, janitors, film crew, scientists, scriptwriters and personal assistants too, they're also just as important to ensuring the success of your studio. Once you've hired the actors, directors and ancillary staff you require to make movies, you'll also need to construct places for them to work and relax. A majority of your studio lot will be occupied by sets of one of five genres (Action, Sci-Fi, Horror, Romance and Comedy) which you can research and then build to be used for filming your movies. While your scriptwriters are making the final touches to that 5-star film script, you can get your directors and actors to practice their roles on the set. Eventually the script is complete and you must then decide which actors and directors would make the best fit for the film as the game takes into account not only how much experience the actors/directors have, but how good-looking they are (important for actors) and how well they get along with the rest of the crew. Filming then starts and it's your job to make sure that the actors and directors don't throw tantrums on the set or this could adversely affect the quality of the movie (not to mention prove expensive due to delays). Usually you would do so by making sure they pay a visit to the bar or restaurant beforehand (but don't make this too often or else they may get addicted and a visit to the Rehab Centre is in order)! When the last scene is finally shot, your movie is then ready to be released to the world! Keep an eye on movie critic reviews to gauge what can be improved next time you make a film if you want to ensure your studio isn't making B-grade movies indefinitely! | ||

Nevermore is a series of 3 puzzle platformers created by using Sophie Houlden's (of The Linear RPG fame) Platform Game Engine. In it, players assume control of a hero named Olek who must search for a treasure that will save his village. Collect all coins along the way. Run, jump and interact with the environment to progress through many surreal landscapes. You can jump longer if you hold down the space bar. What makes Nevermore so unique is its very original graphic style and its amazing animations. Nevermore 2 is a prequel to Nevermore. It gives us a new aesthetically advanced game, with gorgeous graphics and animations, several scenes to complete, and always this incredible atmosphere. Your mission here is to find an ancient mine full of treasure hidden somewhere at the top of a hill. Everything in Nevermore 2 looks relaxing: colors, music, sounds, animals and water, all together create a strange and peaceful feeling. Nevermore 3 Olek, our little intrepid hero, is on a treasure hunt to get funds for your poor town. Everything is amazingly well done here, from the artwork to the peaceful atmosphere and the unique and wonderful design. This one is a a true gem and by far the best in the series. | ||

This is another game placed in the world created by Russian fantasy writer Sergei Lukyanenko in the trilogy initiated by Night Patrol. Members of both sides of the conflict, the Bright and the Dark, concerned about the increasing number of deaths of their soldiers, banned direct clashes between patrols. In return for this, there was bet on sports competition - title races. The action of the game takes us to the streets of Moscow, which become witnesses of car duels. The representatives of the Dark sit behind the steering wheel of the Western companies' carts, while Dzienny Patrol prefers domestic production. However, in this fight it is not only the driving skills that count, but also the appropriate use of magic. Only a skillful combination of these two factors can guarantee the victory of one of the parties. An additional element diversifying the game is the possibility of temporary hiding in Twilight, where there is no traffic. It offers 6 unique routes and the same number of drivers to choose from, each with different personalities, strengths and weaknesses. The advantages of the game are also realistic driving physics and the existence of various bonuses, making it easier or disturbing to win the race. It is also worth mentioning the presence in the game of Geser and Zawulon, leaders of the Night and Daily Patrol respectively, as well as the modeling of the vehicles on their counterparts from the cinema picture Night Watchtower. It appeared on the market together with a twin position, Day Watch Racing. Both games differ only in the soundtrack, adjusted to the chosen side of the conflict - sitting behind the wheel of the car as Jasny we can listen to Russian rock, while the ears of the Dark caresses gangsta rap. | ||

This is a charmingly twisted action/adventure game, the second title from Washington State student developers and was named as a finalist in the 2006 Independent Games Festival's Student Showcase. It is set in a bizarre, colourful world inhabited by (strangely cute) dismembered body parts. The player takes the role of one of these organs, an eyeball by the name of Oswald who sets out to free his village from the opression of the infamous pirate Patches Deadlights. Armed only with his wits and a magical paintbrush, Oswald must gather three orbs from various parts of the land in order to reach the heights of Mount Oculus and prevent Deadlights from gaining access to a doomsday device. If you haven't gathered by now, the plot's not the main focus of this game - its charm lies in its gorgeous cel-shaded graphics and innovative control system. Oswald interacts with his environment by means of the aforementioned magical paintbrush, which is controlled using the mouse pointer. Various effects are produced by holding the left mouse button and forming shapes with the titular ink - these effects range from simply throwing small objects around (achieved by painting a straight line between object and target) to a devastating vortex which can be used to slam multiple enemies into one another. Only two of these abilities are available at the beginning of the game, but more are earnt by defeating the game's bosses as you progress. The control system is a little reminiscent of Black and White's gesture-based miracles, and quickly becomes second nature as you play the game - it is this system which lead to the game's position as an IGF finalist. It makes use of high-quality 3D graphics with a cel-shaded appearance, and has a great physics engine. It also possesses a quirky sense of humour (there are some terrible eye puns and an Indiana Jones sequence which will have you groaning and grinning in equal measure) which only adds to its charm. The difficulty curve can be a little steep at times, and it's a little short at under 2 hours of playtime, but these are minor quibbles with such a quality piece of freeware. | ||

Everyone's favorite pill-eating hero is turning 25, and to celebrate, Namco brings this game to the PC. Once again, Pac-Man must chomp his way through a number of different worlds battling ghosts and other new enemies. It's Pac-Man's birthday, but just as he's about the cut the cake, he finds himself transported from his home to the mysterious Spectral Realm. It turns out the evil genius Erwin has discovered a way to enter the ghost world, but because of his invention, the walls between the worlds are breaking down. This means the ghost world and the real world will soon merge, creating chaos as the ghosts take over. Only Pac-Man can save the world from evil by defeating Erwin and destroying his machine. While the traditional power pills are still around, Pac-Man will need more than just their super power to defeat enemies because many of his new opponents can't be eaten. Fortunately, Pac-Man has a number of new attacks at his disposal. He can punch, butt-bounce, and curl up into a ball to roll over his enemies. Not all of these attacks will work on each enemy; the butt-bounce attack, for example, is useless against creatures with spikes on them. Control the ghosts - a special feature now allows players to control pinky and Clyde. Store an arsenal of power-ups like the power ribbon, time decelerator, electro-charge, chrome power, and super butt bounce and super-charge them by collecting special fruits. Get transported into classic 2d and 3d Pac-man mazes to compete for bonuses. New Pac-man moves now you can climb fences, jump up walls, swing around poles and punch enemies. This also includes the original Pac-man arcade game from 1980. | ||

As they improve, you can pet and play with them, teach them new tricks and even ride the horses. As in real life, the doctor (and the animals) must eat, exercise and sleep. The hospital must be equipped and staffed - all of which you will perform within the game. Before you can actually see patients, shop for books, medical instruments, food and toys. Animals will begin coming in once kennels, pens and other enclosures have been added and you've earned your "specialist certificate". Play in one of 3 modes: Easy, Medium or Hard. You can also choose to play in "scenario" or "free-play" mode. All movement and actions are "point-and-click". Graphics are 3D so you are able to see all parts of a scene by zooming in/out or rotating your angle of view. | ||

You can either control Pizzadude or Pizzagirl, of which the latter is easier to play with (more time available for each delivery). The goal of the game is to prepare pizzas and deliver them. Preparing pizzas means cutting tomatoes, onions, and many other pizza ingredients. Slicing pieces of pork with a chainsaw is also possible, as well as preparing other meals like french fries, soda, and salads. Once finished when preparing the food, you have to deliver it to many locations, by either quad or scooter. There are several easy locations, and some "special" locations to drive to (like Nico's Gas Station or Crazy Joe's Mountain). Once arrived at the location, there is some jump and run action (avoiding dogs and other obstacles, trying to not fall into water, etc.) before you can actually deliver the pizza. When you have delivered the Pizza, you must go back to the restaurant to create more pizzas. | ||

The Prince of Persia makes his way home to Babylon, bearing with him Kaileena, the enigmatic Empress of Time, and unspeakable scars from the Island of Time. But instead of the peace he longs for, he finds his kingdom ravaged by war and Kaileena the target of a brutal plot. When she is kidnapped, the Prince tracks her to the Palace - only to see her murdered by a powerful enemy. Her death unleashes the Sands of Time, which strike the Prince and threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. Cast to the streets, hunted as a fugitive, the Prince soon discovers that the Sands have tainted him, too. They have given rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him. You play and master two distinct characters: Wield the powers and weapons of two master warriors with different combat styles, attitudes, and histories. Choose your way to kill: Master the expanded Free-Form Fighting system to destroy enemies in your own style; strangle enemies from afar with the deadly Daggertail; or use a new stealth art to inflict surprise decapitations and other attacks – the choice is yours. Battle freely through Babylon: Dominate enemies on the perilous rooftops, dodge through chaotic streets, and ambush pursuers in dark, underground passageways. Manipulate time to surprise enemies: Execute powerful attacks against entire armies by slowing down or rewinding time, or surprise them by using some all-new Sands of Time powers. Destroy foes in furious chariot combat: Seize the reins of a chariot to fend off hordes of enemies at breakneck speed in impossibly tight pursuit. The game had to be censored for its European release. Only the initial American version was released uncensored. There's blood splatter and you are able to decapitate enemies, and cut off their limbs. | ||

| Professor Fizzwizzle | Grubby Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

|
Professor Fizzwizzle is platform puzzle game where you take control of the diminutive genius, Professor Fizzwizzle. You must help the professor use his brains and his gadgets to solve each level. To solve a level, you must guide the professor to the level's "exit tube". However, obstacles such as crates, barrels, gates, magnets, pulleys, trampolines, and Rage-Bots will make the exit difficult to reach! Three different platform types also add to the puzzles: Grass, sand, and ice. On grass, objects such as crates and barrels can be pushed freely. On sand, they'll get stuck or move more slowly. On ice, the professor will keep sliding until he hits something and comes to a stop. Navigating the levels is challenging, but you're often given power-ups to help you on your way. The Frost Gun, for example, will allow you to freeze any object (including the Rage-Bots!) so that the object can slide more easily on grass and sand. The E.M.P. power-up is helpful for disabling Rage-Bots, and for disconnecting magnets. | ||

This is a fully 3D high-speed fighting action doujin game. It was originally released at C69 as a basic demo, where only Shinku, Suigintou, and Suiseiseki were playable, (fully voiced by the way.) But now the roster has been updated. New playable characters include: Hina Ichigo, Souseiseki, Kanaria, and even Barasuishou. It's based on the anime series Rozen Maiden which focuses mostly on a bunch of doll sisters obsessed with one-upping each other. They have weapons, they know how to fight, they knew where to bring it, and despite a darker, more serious overlying plot than you’d expect for a show about dolls, it never took itself seriously. There are plenty of laughs and heartwarming moments in between fights. This game features nine characters to choose from - each of the Rozen Maiden dolls, and the unlockable Kun-Kun. Each of the characters have their own strengths and weaknesses. ALiBAT is a top-down fighter. In order to attack, the player must first pick up an attack from one of the cases that appear at random on the field. Each case contains a limited number of one attack type. Picking up another case will destroy any attacks that were already held. When one player reduces the others' health to 0, they win the round. Each match lasts until either player has won three rounds. | ||

This is a competitive game between a group of four to eight participants, where the goal is to be the first to collect a list of scavenger items. The list of scavenger items will be unique for each player and a player must collect all items on his or her list in order to win. Once any player has collected all of the items on his or her list, the game is over. The scavenger items have no use other than to be collected. In order to be considered collected, the scavenger item must be obtained and returned to the drop-box. The drop-box is a repository for scavenger items, and all players use the same one. There is one drop-box per level. Scavenger Hunt also employs a type of memory game in that the player may only see his or her list of scavenger items while at the drop-box. It received the Slamdance "Big C" Audience Award, and was an IGF 2005 Student Showcase Finalist. | ||

This is a 3D fighting game based on the 2003 animated series. The combat system is similar to the earlier games based on that series, but unlike them, it is a competitive vs. fighting game. It is not a traditional one-on-one fighter, but an arena-based, four-player game - somewhat along the lines of Power Stone. There are two game modes. There is a single-player adventure mode in which you must guide one of ten characters (including six unlockables) through a series of 100 bouts that have you either beating up enemies, or, in a few cases, dodging bombs for a set amount of time. Completion of these portions unlocks the additional characters, bonus characters and stages for melee mode. Melee mode is the multiplayer portion. It has ten basic and twelve unlockable characters, and nine basic and fifteen unlockable stages. There are four game types which mirror popular types from first-person shooters. There is a deathmatchesque knock-out mode, where the goal is to score the most KOs. (Players respawn after being KOed.) There is also a Last Man Standing mode, where the goal is to be the only player left when the others are KOed, a King of the Hill, where you must stand on a glowing patch of ground and defend it from other players, and a Keep away mode, where you must hold a treasure chest and avoid other players who are trying to beat you up and take it. | ||

This tells the story of city girl Amanda who must go to live with her father in the country. While she is sad about leaving her friends, she is consoled by the fact that she gets her very own horse. However, it is her responsible to care for and train the horse. At the beginning of the game, Amanda's father allows her to choose from among several horses. Afterwards, the game turns into a rather free-form affair. Amanda can explore around the house, go inside her room (where she can sleep or try on different outfits), go to the nearby town of Springdale (where she can interact with other people, shop for more clothes, or shop for other equestrian accessories), and most importantly, tend to her horse in the barn. Amanda must monitor her horse's statistics. These include speed, behavior, and jumping skill which can be increased by taking the horse out through different training courses. Additional statistics show how hungry the horse is, how badly it needs to be groomed, and how dirty its stable is. These needs all need to be managed manually. There is also a mystery minigame. Amanda needs to talk to people in Springdale in order to piece together some strange goings-on. | ||

When 15-year-old Peter Parker was bitten by a genetically altered spider he became faster, stronger, more agile and gained the spider-like ability to cling to walls. Add web shooters and a costume and Peter becomes Spider-Man. Eddie Brock, Jr. is Peter's childhood friend. In search of his scientist father's legacy, Eddie came in contact with a symbiotic suit which transformed him into the monstrous Venom. Ultimate Spider-Man follows both their Brian Michael Bendis-scripted adventures, as Spidey attempts to prevent Venom from killing innocents while Venom seeks to avoid S.H.I.E.L.D.'s machinations. The Ultimate version of the Spider-Man mythos revamps the franchise, bringing in edgier (and often younger) versions of famous superheroes and supervillains. The Human Torch, Wolverine, Electro, and Green Goblin are some of the Ultimate characters who make appearances. Ultimate Spider-Man features a fully rendered, cel-shaded Manhattan open to exploration. With few exceptions, Spider-Man and Venom can explore Manhattan and Queens, climbing, jumping, and web swinging away. Story missions show up as hot spots on the map as do other in-game objectives. When the player is done patrolling (or destroying) the city, they can hit these hot spots to advance the story. Between story missions, Spider-Man and Venom can follow race paths, go on combat tours, discover and collect hidden icons, and help (or hurt) the citizens of New York. | ||

In this sequel to Zombie Smashers X, the Zombies are again taking over the world, and the survival of mankind depends on the hands of five angry punks, the Zombie Smashers! Like its predecessor, Zombie Smashers X2: Punx and Skins is a beat'em with an RPG twist. Each of the five characters have different values in the following attributes: Punch, Kick, Strength, Agility, Defense, Melee, Ranged, Throw and HP. By killing enemies, characters earn money to buy attribute upgrades and magical techniques, such as slow time or go berserk. Besides their punches and kicks, the characters can also use weapons dropped by enemies, such as garbage cans, katanas, tuna, uzis, hammers, pans and knocked down enemies. Throughout the game the players will have missions to accomplish. The game is quite gory, and the soundtrack is composed by several real electronica, punk, ska and hardcore bands, but it can also be customized to please the player's taste. The graphics are more detailed than the predecessor's, with more 3D smoke, light and blood effects. | ||

| Adventures of Captain Rumpel, The [Ru] | TO HRC “School” / Bustard | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This game is based on the materials of the textbook E.I. Alexandrova “Mathematics 1st grade" published by the publishing house "Bustard". It's a full-fledged educational course, or a collection of lessons presented in a playful way and supplemented by a plot. The main character, in fact, is the player himself. On the island he meets a crab - captain Rumpel. Tom is tired of leading a boring life in his cave on the island - he wants to build a sailboat and go on a journey in search of a goldfish and, of course, treasures. The construction of the ship begins, and as soon as it is ready, you and the captain will go sailing, full of adventure and danger. Confrontation with the pirates, meeting with the genie, surviving the storm, solving puzzles on the way to the treasure and much more awaits you. The game is divided into 38 lessons, in each of which a new topic is held. Almost all are devoted to mathematics and computer science, but there is also a study of Latin letters, and, unexpectedly, locks and keys. Each lesson has a plot justification: for example, a simple sorting of nails is presented as an introduction to set theory, and the locks and keys will be studied, because we need to open the locked chest in which these nails lie. The first 15 lessons are part of the construction of a sailboat: there will be topics such as length, projection, drawing, knitting, etc. Then, adventures on the islands will begin, where, among other things, you will have to study the volume to pick up a bottle for the genie, and the trajectory of the projectile to get into the pirate ship from the cannon. The last step is the "school", where arithmetic will be passed. The game is fully voiced, and captain Rumpel is not just a character, but also a full-fledged teacher - his remarks depend heavily on the player’s actions, primarily on the correctness of his answers and decisions. Each lesson has been carefully worked out - after all, the product is truly educational - but sometimes this leads to excessive delays in a particular topic. In general, the program is designed for a long passage, and so that children do not spend much time at the computer, after half an hour of play in the upper right corner, the clock image flashes - a signal that it is time to take a break. It will be an omission not to say that the game offers to learn not only behind the monitor - almost at the very beginning we were asked to start a “logbook”, in fact a notebook where additional tasks should be performed. The game is made on the Flash engine; the picture is bright, high-quality, the crab's voice is clear, clear and well understood by children. | ||

Mindscape announced, by royal appointment, the coming of Babar the Elephant King in his very own computer game, Babar's Royal Coin Caper, available for PC and Mac on 9th December. The creation of popular French children's writer, Jean de Brunhoff, Babar the Elephant first arose in 1931 in the classic children's book L'Histoire du Babar. The story outlines the life and times of a young elephant, separated from his mother at an early age by cruel hunters, who finds his way to France and is brought up by an old lady in Paris. Babar eventually returns to his homeland where he is made king, builds his own city and eventually becomes a father himself. After initial literary success, Babar was adapted for an animated television series, where it is now screened daily on Channel 5's children's show Milkshake. Babar is now about to embark on his first interactive escapade as Mindscape launches an original Babar action/adventure title designed to entertain and challenge gamers between the ages three and seven. The game features nine games of logical thinking, musical creativity and problem solving across Barbars's hometown of Celesteville, as players help Babar to find his lost royal coin collection. Each activity has been designed to encourage the imagination, logic, attention, observation and memory skills of fledgling gamers and with two distinct levels of difficulty, will cater for early beginners and Babar experts alike.

| Club Penguin | New Horizon Interactive, RocketSnail Games / Disney Interactive Studios | [top] | |

This was a massively multiplayer online game (MMO), involving a virtual world that contained a range of online games and activities. Players used cartoon penguin-avatars and played in a winter-set virtual world. It expanded into a large online community, such that by late 2007, it was claimed it had over 30 million user accounts. The developer was then purchased by the Walt Disney Company for the sum of $350 million dollars, with an additional $350 million dollars in bonuses should specific targets be met by 2009. In July 2013, it had over 200 million registered user accounts. While free memberships were available, revenue was predominantly raised through paid memberships, which allowed players to access a range of additional features, such as the ability to purchase virtual clothing, furniture, and in-game pets called "puffles" for their penguins through the usage of in-game currency. The game was specifically designed for children aged 6 to 14 (however, users of any age were allowed to play Club Penguin). Thus, a major focus of the developers was on child safety, with a number of features having been introduced to the game to facilitate this. These features included offering an "Ultimate Safe Chat" mode, whereby users selected their comments from a menu; filtering that prevented swearing and the revelation of personal information; and moderators who patrolled the game. The game was shut down on March 30, 2017. The original game has been hosted and recreated on a number of fan-made private servers using SWF files from the game's old website. | ||

This is a fun and simple program which takes children through space. The space ship will "blast off" from Earth and they will travel with Pipo and Cuca as they explore the moon, solar system, and the galaxy.

It is designed for children ranging from 5 to 12 years of age; however, easier games like: puzzles, connect the dots, and coloring pages, are great for 4 year olds and younger. Other activities encourage adults to join in and support children as they both learn fun astronomy facts. The program can be easily adapted to meet the ages, needs, and capacities of each individual. The program focuses on 11 themes that are divided into 25 different activities. As children play the games they explore, understand, and learn various aspects of Astronomy such as: the constellation, rotation of the Earth, the Moon, etc. Two main sections will provide links to the different themes. The first eight can be accessed through the Zoom Screen and the other three through the Astronomer’s Book. The duration of each game varies depending on the level of difficulty, pace of learning, and motivation of the child. There are not any time constraints and children may discontinue a game at any time. Highly stimulating games quickly catch children’s interest. Some children may not have acquired the skills necessary to play the games; however, they can still manipulate the activities in a manner that promotes learning and allows them to internalize and master the preset objectives. | ||

But first, she has to learn the latest dance moves, and that's where you come in. As a new player you are taken to the sign-in screen, where you pick a color and stickers to decorate the Dance Adventure Center, type your name, and then click on the vamanos button (Dora icon) to pick your level on the next screen. Every action in the game is performed with the mouse - clicking on items and occasionally moving the mouse. During the game you have two constant icons - the map, which allows you to visit different areas and helps you to keep track of where you've been, and the level icon; if the game level is too easy or too difficult you can change it mid-game. You and Dora and company must visit five locations on the map and learn several different dances before you can go to the castle in your quest to free Swiper. At the culmination of the game you are able to visit the Dance Adventure Center and create dance videos, listen to music, and print out your favorite dance moves. | ||

This is one of the few BL game (yaoi or homosexual hentai) titles to see an official English release. The game is set in postwar West Germany, but makes little attempt at historical or linguistic accuracy. One of the storylines involves a dramatic motorcycle race to the Berlin Wall and back, so the game must be set sometime after 1961. The player takes the role of either Kia WelBehenna or Louise Hardwich, one of the two members of a secret agency run by Louise Hardwich. The two are assigned to specific targets, which range from members of the KGB to aspiring soccer players. The requests usually include seducing the said targets. Player input is limited to, at a few junctions in the story, the ability to choose one of two paths. However, these choices do not give the player the ability to truly affect the storyline, only the endings. The primary goal is to fulfill the client's requests and complete the mission. But despite the simple gameplay Absolute Obedience offers a variety of very complex character designs for the main characters as well as their "targets". Each of the 12 stories have up to 4 different endings, leaving the player with the choice of 42 different endings and 2 additional endings. In order to obtain a good ending, the player must select the correct choices in a specific order. When the game has been successfully completed with an A grade in each requests, the game unlocks two additional secret missions for both Kia and Louise, in which more of both their pasts is revealed. | ||

In Part 2 of this thrilling eco-simulation adventure, the player once again takes the role of Wayne. His partner ChouChou has been kidnapped by the Killer Pussies, the sexy female assistants of the revenge-hungry Major Krasser – and they’re holding her prisoner at a secret location. Major Krasser demands that Wayne carry out a mission for him - otherwise his partner will die. His first task is to steal a painting from the Governor's villa. As it soon turns out, this worthy gentleman has meanwhile sided with the allies. The back of the painting holds a secret Allied plan for attacking German bases. Later Wayne arrives in Tangier, where the brothel queen Madame Rosalie helps him to infiltrate a smuggling gang who can eventually assist him in freeing ChouChou from the clutches of the 3 killer pussies. So Wayne doesn't only have to carry out Major Krasser's dangerous tasks, he still has to work at freeing his lover. Krasser has no intention of letting ChouChou live. Our hero has to show a hell of a lot of ingenuity, courage (and of course, his male attractions and charm) before he can find the secret Kasbah where ChouChou's being held, force his way in there and free her at last. As well as many of the popular characters and locations from Part 1, this has numerous new and exciting locations to offer you. There are also fantastic new characters with whom Wayne interacts during his missions; and here’s another, brand-new feature - we've sub-divided the game into 4 playing levels - guaranteeing you more enjoyment and putting you into one dangerous mission after another - constantly. For instance, in the first level you have to earn money with erotic pin-up photos. This means you have to build a photo studio, in which you can photograph various models...and what models...wow! In game level 3, you'll have to set up a smuggling ring. Oh yes... and in between all these missions there are many highly erotic and spicy scenes that’ll have the sweat dripping off the end of your nose!

My name is Ryouji, and I'm just an average student at Seiai Academy. I live my days happily with my twin cousins Shana and Yuuki who are staying at my house to go to the Academy as well, but one day at the end of summer vacation our lives are changed for ever. Stopping by the shrine where Yuuki worked part time as a miko priestess after my own part time job, we were about to go home together when suddenly thunder roared through the cloudless sky. Looking up I gathered Yuuki and Shana under me and ducked – promptly passing out! When I came to I felt fine, but my cousins were looking around with worried expressions. The shrine was near several girls’ schools, and as usual many of the students were walking down the street nearby – but they were wearing the most outlandish costumes! Some were in bondage gear, some in aprons with nothing underneath, others in bunny suits and still others in swimsuits you wouldn’t see even on the most radical Brazilian beach. Even stranger, the girls seemed as if what they were wearing was perfectly normal! They were looking at Shana and Yuuki in their regular uniforms as if they were the ones out of place. At first I thought it was a prank, but no – there were too many people involved. I realized that this was in fact a gift from the gods, a boon to the luckless fellow that I had previously been, a world surrounded by the beautiful mystery of women!

As such, Japan continued to fight through World War II, ending aggressions only when Hokkaido and Kyushu were occupied by Russia and America, respectively.

Strict policies are in place in to enforce a ban upon firearms within the city limits. Thus, though terrorism and power struggles run rampant, swordplay, not gunfire, claims the lives of those not powerful to stake out their claims here. Our protagonist is one Takeda Akane, a swordsman driven by a desire to face his one true rival, Igarasu Yoshia. What will stand in his path to his goal?

Hiroki soon discovers that Nanami harbors some deep secrets in her past. As their relationship develops, Hiroki realizes that Nanami is not what she seems to be, and discovers a world of supernatural beings that exists alongside ours.

Certain events in the story lead to interactive 3D sex scenes. The player has a limited control over the protagonist's actions and movement. | ||

The story, a dramatic slice-of-life, follows Makoto Ito, a high school student who becomes the ambivalent love-interest of several girls during his second term, and the effects this has on himself and his relationships with other characters. Though the game requires little interaction from users, School Days engages the player through a plot that they are given opportunities to change the course of during play. The game concludes with an ending specific to the outcome of the story, some of which became notorious for their graphic violence. In 2010, an HQ remastered version was released and an English version of the game in 2011. | ||

Beneath the scorching sun of midsummer, a pampered, aloof sort of girl declared that there are four windows through which to view a person. She was not the only one by his side, for he'd had a wounded girl thrust upon him - a wounded girl who could not help but depend upon him, as the girl he had known for so long once had. Now, however, that old friend of his vanishes in the dead of night to prowl where an ordinary girl should not. The blue sky of the stadium and the filth of the city streets spread out before him; unsustainable aspirations and an unsustainable love beset him. What in the world is he thinking as he gazes at their profiles? | ||

In this 3D Jump & Run game the player controls Sven, the little black ram whose only objective is to please all the sheep of his flock. Sven has to run, jump, flirt and shag his way through 30 levels in lovely summer and winter settings full of romantic atmosphere. Points are awarded when a sheep literally bursts from joy thanks to Sven's efforts. The sheep are spread all over the levels on platforms, but Sven can also find and collect items that either help him please the sheep by power up his abilities or award him with extra points. There are also traps and opponents that have to be avoided or disabled. This can be done e.g. by collecting honey pots. With the honey from the pot, Sven can stop the annoying sheperd's dog Töle who sticks to the honey, if he passes it. Another feature is the sheep's mood which is indicated by a weather symbol above their heads in form of a sun, a white or dark cloud or even lightning. If the sheep is in a bad mood, Sven has to improve its mood using the respective items (like an aphrodisiac) before he can get down to business. Otherwise the sheep will kick him and the player loses points. | ||

The game stars and takes the viewpoint from a female ninja who is said to be one of Japan's greatest warriors. She's part of an elite ninja squad called Anti-Demon Ninja that fights in the name of justice. The main enemy in this story is the OFA (Oboro Forbearance Army) lead by another female ninja who is also said to be one of the finest in the land. These two female ninjas go at it until one of them is captured and trained/transformed against their will into a sex slave. It's important to note here that the game takes place around 2050 in Tokyo, so technology has become relatively advanced. The world itself seems to be VERY grim. It's also slightly fantasy based as it seems many different races inhabit the world, including vampires, orcs, and various types of evil spirits, which are the demons or "evil influenced" people that are making the world so corrupt. The ninjas also have special, beyond human, abilities as well. This is a visual novel that illustrates the first episode of the Taimanin saga, the long-running series of dark, devious, and dramatic chronicles that takes place in the near-future, fiendishly corrupted city of Tokyo. An English fan-made translation patch came out in 2008. | ||

|
Tears to Tiara is a Japanese adult tactical role-playing game developed by Leaf. It was first released for Windows on April 28, 2005 in Japan. The game draws heavily from Welsh, Celt, Christian and Roman mythology, with characters named Arawn, Arthur, Epona, Llŷr, Morgan, Pwyll, Rhiannon, and Taliesin. Set in a Late Antiquity-inspired fantasy setting, the story starts on an island Erin (or Hibernia, as shown on an in-game map) on the west border of the Holy Empire. The prologue is centered around the precognition-gifted priestess of the Gael tribe, Rhiannon. She is kidnapped by a rogue priest of the Holy Empire, Drwc, to be used as a sacrifice in a ritual meant to resurrect the Demon King Arawn and put Drwc in his favor. As a response the Gael people burn their village and swear to bring Rhiannon back or exact revenge on the Empire. In the middle of the ritual, as the Gael people attack Drwc's soldiers, Arawn is resurrected and offered Rhiannon. At this point, he kills Drwc, frees Rhiannon, and proclaims no intention in wreaking havoc which the legends attributed to him. Instead, he shows interest in Rhinannon's brother Arthur, the First Warrior of his tribe. Rhiannon, on the other hand, falls in love with Arawn, and by declaring her decision to marry him, makes him the chieftain of the Gael tribe (hers and Arthur's father was the previous chieftain, but Arthur could not assume the title due to being the First Warrior). As the prologue ends, the point of view is switched from Rhiannon to Arawn, revealing him to be the protagonist of the game, and the story continues with the exodus of Gael tribe to the neighboring island of Albion (or Insula Britannica, as shown on an in-game map) in hope of eluding the Empire. | ||

This is a visual novel trying to explore themes relevant in Japan for high-school students where players read the story and at certain points must make a choice between multiple options. Kouhei Kagami is a Japanese student with excellent grades and a fairly normal social life, but feels empty and transparent inside. The story revolves a pivotal moment in Kouhei's life where three girls more depressed and lonely than himself get involved with him and make his boring life a roller coaster of emotions. Kouhei must choose one of them or risk losing all of them to their own despair. The plot follows the same basic route for the first half of the game. Kouhei goes about his life and interacts with the three main girls: Aeka, Mizuki, and Nekoko. If the player manages to pursue one of the girls successfully the plot eventually diverges. The story branches in different directions depending on what the player chooses. In this case, there are three separate storylines. Each one is focused on a specific girl's relationship with Kouhei. The storylines branch again into good and bad endings. Good endings are recognizable by credit roll after the game ends, which bad endings lack. In addition there is a bad ending if you fail to pursue any girl. The English version was released in 2007. | ||

Third game in the Angelic Vale RPG Series is a beautiful girl fantasy role-playing game with highly strategic elements. The story in the game takes place on a beautiful and charming island called Effiemel Island, which is located in the east of the Duray mainland and is very far away from the mainland. This island is the territory of the "Vasaland Principality", a small country that has adopted an eternally neutral position since ancient times. And because the retreats of the royal families of all countries exist on this island, this island has also become a different country since ancient times. A stage where tactics are rampant. In order to solve the domestic financial crisis caused by the previous civil strife, Eliza, the new queen of the Kingdom of Belluna, and her men decided to sell the rest of the kingdom, so they came to this island. But what awaits them there is a rumor about a mysterious "legacy" inherited by the kingdom, and a conspiracy related to this rumor. Queen Elrige was held hostage during the investigation, so the player will take on the important task of finding the missing queen and exposing the intent and conspiracy. The game has strengthened the design of strategy, and the original turn-based RPG system sets more different goals, so that players can enjoy facing different situations. When using various strategies for fun. The difference from the previous system is that after defeating the enemy this time, the soul scale displayed at the bottom of the screen will accumulate. After accumulation, the character can use various special skills. Sometimes characters can also use powerful special skills that require multiple scales, so judging how to use them should become the key to winning in battle. The new dual attack system in the game also allows players to display a refreshing joint attack. A new game character who masters the key to the story has been added to the game, making the story about to unfold more gorgeous. Including the naval officer "Arontora" of the Principality of Vassarand, who is responsible for maintaining law and order on Eiffel Island. The female adventurer "Esparta", who covets the treasure of Belluna Kingdom hidden in Eiffel Island, has lost the memories of the past due to some reason. Leyou is also a half-machine, half-human girl "Edwar" with a destructive effect, and a black knight who secretly assists the protagonist to cover his face with a coat. Continuing the fine tradition of Angelic Vale, this generation also invited several well-known Japanese voice actors to contribute their voices to the game, including Masaumi Iizuka, Kikuko Inoue, Yuki Matsuoka, Sanae Kobayashi, Yukari Tamura, Hideki Ogihara and Ayako Kawasumi. | ||

The Bard is a cynical, opportunistic musician who roams the country in search of carnal pleasures. However, this impatient and selfish fellow is compelled to accept the greatest quest of his life: save the princess Caleigh from a demonic cult that has kidnapped her. The unlikely hero must now explore the land in search of the princess, accompanied by the omnipresent Narrator who obviously can't stand the Bard and uses every opportunity to sarcastically comment on his actions. Furthermore, Fionnaoch, the mysterious abductor of the princess, does everything he can to stop the Bard, sending his minions after him. A self-proclaimed "quest for coin and cleavage", The Bard's Tale is an action RPG that is more of a whimsical take on role-playing games than a remake of the classic series. As the Bard, players can fight off hordes of foes with blade and bow, and summon companions through magical Bard Songs. Leveling up allows the player to raise the character's main attributes and invest specialization points in the different types of weapons he can use. Magical companions must be sought out and then summoned during battles. After being summoned, they act pretty much like AI-controlled party members; some of them specialize in physical attacks and offensive spells, while others can heal the hero. During conversations the player can choose "nice" or "snarky" responses for the protagonist. While mostly used for humorous effect, some of these responses may affect subsequent events. The game uses the Dark Alliance engine and has a similar camera and control scheme. | ||

This is a 3D action RPG composed of the protagonists [Grin] and [Paap]. The gears of time start to turn now... This is a game with 6 chapters. If you can play from chapter 1, you will enjoy the game even more. Each chapter is available on the Light website. It's different from the Techwin version. The story begins with Grin chasing Paap. The operability of the action was very good. In battle, defeat enemies using weapons and magic. When attacking an enemy with a weapon, there are normal attacks and skill attacks, and it feels great to combine these to hit consecutive attacks on enemies that move in various ways. You can also change skills while attacking. Recovery items are also convenient because they have a single button, and a ring opens and you can select and use the ring by turning it. There are three pieces of equipment: weapons and two auxiliary items. Each character has a proficiency level, and by accumulating them, you will learn skills to use in battle. The music didn't make the game too heavy, it was light and pleasant. There's 12 types of weapons, over 150 in total, and over 250 types of skills hidden in them. | ||

Cute Knight is a casual life simulation role-playing video game with many possible endings and careers featuring a single female character. Gameplay is similar to the Japanese Princess Maker with a more traditionally Western first-person perspective dungeons. Cute Knight is a life simulation/role-playing video game where the player takes the role of Michiko from 18 to 21. The game uses stats which determine how well she does in various tasks and her combat ability. In addition, her stats and key events determine the jobs she is able to do. The goal of the game is to unlock unlockable content and various endings, particularly good endings. The game ends after three years unless a special event ends the game sooner or Michiko's dream stat reaches 0; if the latter occurs the game still unlocks an ending, but its always a bad ending based on her stats and key events triggered. Tasks affect stats, generally positively. Michiko's stats determine whether the task is completed successfully in a given day, with success often resulting in monetary gain. Each task takes one week of game time unless an annual event interferes with it. In addition, these annual events last for a varying number of days. During some of these events various mini-games can occur. Winning these mini-games may trigger key events or grant items, money, and/or stats boost. The game starts out with a few available tasks, but more open up by triggering key events and/or working at a particular place for some time. Several jobs can also be removed because of key events or high level of the sin stat. Combat occurs inside a multi-level dungeon. Time passes as the player moves through the dungeon. The player can chose to either defeat the monster in combat or attempt to tame the monster, getting it to leave Michiko alone. If the player kills a living creature (as opposed to golems or undead), it increases Michiko's sin. Sin goes down if the player works at the church or the doctor's. Combat is turn-based and features magic point-based charms (spells). These spells use nine elements, including the classical four. If Michiko's hit points (HP) drop to zero the player is automatically rescued. There is no character death, but she may need to pay to recover her lost health. Regardless, it will deplete the Dream meter during her recovery period and may lead to the bad ending. An expanded and enhanced rerelease named Cute Knight Deluxe was later released in 2007. | ||

This is a third-person hack-and-slash RPG. The major difference of this game from most "Diablo clones" is that all four characters available for the player are mages. Your main goal is to help destroy Earth or save it. The game tells the story of the immortal Modo who, for his crimes, was banished from the Afterlife and sent to live on Earth as a mortal. Players can play as a bad character and help Modo in reaching his ultimate goal - destroying the Earth, or be a good character and try to stop him. The game has a lot of humor and cultural references in all its quests and sub-quests. It has an unique combat system where you can combine different spells to get a new one with unique abilities. The controls are very similar to most hack-and-slash games: you use the mouse to control the character, and the keyboard to select spells from a toolbar. Originally a Russian release named Blood Magic, in 2007 a Deep Silver release was renamed Dawn of Magic and featured upgraded gameplay including multiplayer support. | ||

In order to advance in level, the player must first finish the game in each mentioned level difficulty. The player may create a new hero or use a pre-generated hero. Races available for new heroes are: Human, Elf, Dryad and Half-Giant. Each race has their own unique racial benefits (or disadvantages). Racial distinction does not affect the storyline. Aside from heroes, your party may also acquire the use of pets as party member, which unlike party members may only advance in one particular class and advance by being fed items. There are 10 different pets available for purchase. Similar to the original Dungeon Siege, the game identifies 4 primary skills: Melee, Ranged (Bow, Crossbow or Thrown Weapons), Combat Magic and Nature Magic. Using specified weapons or magic spells will increase the levels of the mentioned skill, allowing the character to use more powerful weapons, armor, items or spells. Advancing in these skills also allow the character to use additional skill bonuses and Hero Powers. The player may optionally focus on any one or more of the available skills. Leveling up consists of 2 different aspects: First is the primary skill level, which is automatic, the second is the character level which also allows the player to invest points for Hero Powers. Hero Powers are also divided in accordance to the primary skills, and advancement in those power are affected by current skill level. Combat is real-time, but may be paused at any given time. Characters fight in accordance to a designated weapon or magic spell of choice. There is one primary active weapon and 4 available magic slots to choose from in the character page. The player may switch manually between weapons or spells during adventuring or combat. An additional 4 slots in the spellbook allow the use of automatically cast spells. While adventuring, the party may discover several sub-quests as well as secret rooms or magical items. All information regarding quests and quest items, chants, maps, bestiary of creatures are recorded in the upgraded game journal. | ||

Thousands of years ago, the great Xuanyuan, also known as Huangdi - Yellow Emperor - fought against the ruler Chiyou for control over China. Demons joined both forces in this great battle. Finally, Huangdi got the upper hand and became the emperor of China. Shortly before his death, he decided to reincarnate as a mortal many years later, so he came to the border of paradise, and spoke with the dragon demon Yinglong, who was supporting his rival before, as well as other demons. Yinglong descended upon the Earth, and his body parts turned into powerful weapons and artifacts - his claw became a sword, his eye a pearl, and his heart took the shape of a seal. The legends say that if someone can get one of the three artifacts, he can once again wield the power in the whole China. Fast-forward to 196 AD. It is the time of Eastern Han dynasty, the end of one of the several golden epochs of the Chinese civilization. Two gods, Yunkong and Daotian, are playing chess with each other to decide the fate of China. In the village Zhaode live two young noblemen, Chu Ge and his best friend Han Jing, as well as his beloved one Shen Yan. They live a normal life and wish to move to the capital and to find good jobs there. But an accident makes them meet their true destiny... The second Huanxiang Sanguozhi game takes us to the time period that preceeded the Three Kingdoms era by about a hundred years. Once again, the game deals with concrete historical events and characters, but adds many fictional elements to them, mostly of supernatural character. The gameplay is very similar to that of the first game. You control a party of heroes and fight enemies in turn-based or active-time combat (you can choose the type of combat since the beginning). The game features pre-rendered backgrounds and 3D cut scenes. It also allows you to choose between three difficulty levels.

Freedom Force return in this sequel to 2002's original superhero strategy game. Fighting Nuclear Winter's menace in *snowy* Cuba, Freedom Force unwittingly allows the conquered Timemaster to fall into the wrong hands. The resulting time crisis twists reality around Freedom Force, plunging them into an alternate 1963 where the "original Axis of Evil" won WWII. Now Freedom Force must set things straight. Traveling through time and taking on the Axis stretches the team to its limits, but the Golden Age was a time of heroes as well as villains. Blackjack, Tricolour, and the Sky King are just some of the new heroes available to combat the combined menace of Fortissimo, Blitzkrieg, and Red Sun. Plus a revamped character creation module makes it easier to send homemade heroes into the fray.

This is the third installment in the shareware Geneforge series by Spiderweb Software. In this fantasy RPG, you once again play the role of a shaper. Shapers are a secretive group that are capable of magically creating life (in the form of mutant creatures) to follow their commands. In this game you will face many challenges, and choices, after your school has been attacked and destroyed by rebels - with dozens of different endings. The gameplay is very similar to to previous Geneforge games. You create your character by choosing from three main types: Shaper: specializes in creating creatures to do your bidding, Agent: specializes in using magic, and Guardian: specializes in traditional combat (swords, etc). You then use a pool of points to distribute to all of your statistics and skills in order to create the type of character you would like to play. You control only your main character in the game, but through the use of "shaping" you can add creatures to your party to fight for you. Gameplay takes place in real time, but combat is turn-based, using an action-point system for each character and foe during battles. | ||

Players go online to take the roles of wizards and warriors in a medieval fantasy world, where they'll battle and adventure on their own, cooperatively, or -- as the title suggests -- in guild warfare against teams of other players. The game world is home to a once-proud kingdom, which has recently been overrun by the forces of evil and chaos. Available player professions include warriors, rangers, monks, mesmers, elementalists, and necromancers, and players are encouraged to choose a combination of any two professions for each character they play. More options become available in a series of "chapter" updates to the main game. This MMO features common world areas, such as towns and outposts, where all players can gather and meet, but the game is particularly mission-based. When players embark on a quest, alone or in a small party, a private area of the game world is created for them, and nearly all of the real adventuring takes place in these exclusive territories. It's more similar to the multiplayer structure of games like Diablo or Dungeon Siege than conventional MMORPGs. With its North American operations led by Ultima Online creator Richard Garriott, South Korean publisher NCSoft has been a principal figure in the realm of persistent world gaming, releasing Linage II, and City of Heroes as we''. It uses a different method for ongoing customer payments than most MMORPGs, however. Players log into the game through the developer's "ArenaNet" service, which works similarly to Blizzard's "Battle.net." Instead of requiring a monthly subscription fee, regular expansion "chapters" advance the game world story but can only be accessed by players who pay for them. | ||

An unprecedented large-capacity RPG. Fight against messed up enemies with equipment and strategies. If it doesn't work, raise the level. Player characters grow unlimitedly, so you can grow them in any way you like and in any tactic. A blockbuster RPG recommended for those who are tired of movie-like games that just follow the story is complete here. The Hachikuma RPG, which follows the flow of Air RPG and Romancano, will be completed here with unprecedented capacity. Nearly 100 characters, more than 80 songs of BGM, more than 400 special moves and magic. Large capacity of 70 hours or more. The story is about a tower. There is a city at the foot of the tower. The convention is held annually in this city at the mouth of the bay, where the eastern and western regions meet. The protagonist, Yukito, gets caught up in a tournament in this city. Inside the tower is a great labyrinth. Adventurers challenge the treasures hidden on the summit, and others strive to level up as training to win the tournament. A vast world spreads out in the tower. Not only the labyrinth, but also the spectacular scenery reminiscent of the outdoors is waiting for you. Your goal is to win the tournament! Or will it decay and expose the corpse of the tower. But the tournament is just the beginning of the battle. Caliph, the ruler of the city who doubles as the mayor, was a terrifying person. The aim is 256F on the top floor of the tower. The battle over the secrets of the tower evolves into a battle between the caliph-led general and the tower demon army. It is the fierce fighters who fight. True Battle = Death is given to every hero at the end of the Holy War. While losing strength in both sides in the battle , we will continue to fight until the last one. The god who is touted as the strongest is just a discard piece. When all the battles are settled, this story is complete. Players are free to grow their alter ego characters. You can grow it into a character like a warrior or a character like a wizard. And its growth is endless. You can grow as much as you want to exceed LV100. The growth method is different for each character. "Human" that grows steadily by raising the level. "Witch" that grows randomly in each battle. "Hanyo" that grows by ignoring the level due to enemy cells. Ability value changes depending on the equipment. "Cyborg" You are free to use that character. Customization with equipment and abilities has the potential to disappear. In battle with the boss, it will be difficult to win even at the LV100 party unless you challenge with better equipment. You must know the characteristics of your enemies and equipment and make your choice. Semi-active time battle system - There is a flow of time, but the enemy does not take any action while entering the command. Both enemies and allies have the concept of range and formation, so let 's lower the characters with low HP to the back row. If you don't make full use of 400 kinds of magic and special moves, you won't be able to beat Zako, let alone the boss. Many magical effects can only be learned through experience. Raise the hit rate of all allies "Hundred Shots Hundred Chu". It is a meaningless magic in the early stage, but in the final boss battle, it is a magic that you want to get out of your throat. Make good use of ranged weapons, special moves, and magic. However, the same can be said for the enemy, and attacks with guns and bows often kill the wizards in the back row with a single blow. There is powerful magic at the end. However, the more powerful the magic, the longer the casting time and the rigid time after use. If you don't think about time, you can't take advantage of any powerful attacks. Special moves and magic are over 400 in total. Rivals, enemies to defeat, vast dungeons. The road to the 256th floor is far and steep. In the tower on the upper floor, you can see various maps such as the ruins of the Old World. The protagonists are not the only ones fighting in the dungeon. There will also be many battles with supporting characters. Sometimes united with the enemy. What kind of development is waiting. Complete the story with your own eyes.

This is a turn-based strategy game with role playing elements that uses the Silent Storm engine and universe. The year is 1949, with the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union looming and both sides uneasy at the thought of an atomic war occurring. The player takes the role of a Soviet commando on an undercover mission to meet a contact in Allied-occupied Germany. However, things go badly for this meeting, leaving the protagonist without proper support, equipment, and identification papers. Behind Allied-occupied lines, the player must attempt to stop a rogue third party intent on initiating World War III between the US and Russia. Players can choose to start with one of 6 player classes: Soldier, Grenadier, Scout, Sniper, Medic, and Engineer. Additionally, there are opportunities throughout the game to recruit additional characters to round out the party's abilities. The game itself features a branching plot where the player's actions and dealings with NPC's can have serious consequences later on. For example, an intelligent character may be able to talk his way out of a situation, and killing Allied soldiers may prompt more patrols later on and slide the situation towards World War III. It also features heavy squad-based combat, and it inherits the turn-based engine from Silent Storm. Players spend Action Points to perform various actions in battle each turn, while the enemy does the same. The engine also models realistic looking physics that feature ragdoll animations, bullet ricochet, and destructible environments. As for available equipment, there are 90 weapons and variants that can be found or bought. | ||

| Her Knights: Gloria In Excelsis Deo [K] | Byulbram Creature | [top] | |

Princess Lemian has spend much of her life studying in a foreign school. One day, as she is strolling through the campus, a group of mercenaries attempt to kidnap her. The Princess' personal lifeguards, known as "Her Knights", arrive in time to rescue her, and she learns that war has broken out on the continent. The Princess must now travel back to her homeland, with her brave knights protecting her from danger. This is a Korean-made role-playing game in predominantly Japanese style, with light tactical elements. Like in most games of the type, the player navigates the party of characters on the overworld, visiting towns, talking to non-player characters, and participating in turn-based battles - all viewed from an isometric perspective. The knights gradually lose energy when traveling and must rest to replenish it. The princess herself doesn't fight, but each of her knights is a fully controllable character with a variety of attack moves and combos. Formation, defensive stances, and the direction the characters are facing affect their performance in combat. The player has the option to replay battles with a suggested lower difficulty. Personal relationships between the princess and the knights play an important role in the game's plot. The player can use special items to influence these relationships and even initiate romances with specific knights. Gloria in Excelsis Deo is a re-release of Her Knights. This version adds voices to some dialogues, a remixed soundtrack, and redrawn character portraits. It also adds a few events to the game's story that were not present in the original release. The package includes a bonus CD containing an interview with Byulbram developers and a prototype version of Her Knights made in 1997. | ||

In this sequel, you again play the role of a Templar knight: Paul de Raque, the grandmaster of the Order of the Temple. The game is set in medieval 13th century Europe and the Middle East. The story revolves around the new crusade of our hero to recover 3 ancient pagan artifacts essential to prevent the imminent attack of the demon armies into our realm of existence. It is a 3D 3rd-person action game with RPG elements. Gameplay consists of completing quests through travelling in the various locations in the game or battling your way through enemy men and monsters. The storyline for one is non-linear. At the start of the game you can choose 1 out of 3 locations to visit. Advancing in the game will unlock new locations. Each location is either a city or town where you can advance in the primary mission, obtain sub-quests, trade, meet people, etc. or it could be a dungeon type location crawling with monsters. Often its a little combination of both. Most of the gameplay (when not exploring cities) revolve around combat and character development. Combat consists of 3D 3rd Person Perspective point of view where you can attack enemies using various skills, abilities and attack combo's. Each of which can be upgraded at any point of the game by spending experience points to the pointed skill, ability or combo. On character development, there are 3 major areas that may be upgraded: (1) Knightly Abilities; Spiritually oriented gifts of the Templar knight: from healing to other holy abilities. (2) Skill Abilities; These are usually attack-based skills. Various attacking styles to soften and defeat both men and monster. (3) Combo's. The extension of the "attack button". Upgrading the combo section provides additional attack moves. Combat also is uniquely divided into 3 different weapons. The first is the standard Sword and Shield, providing high defense and standard attack, useful in defensive stances and vs. ranged enemies; The second is the 2-handed weapon, primary for direct damage in close-combat against single or multiple enemies; The third is ranged combat using a crossbow. The perspective in ranged combat diverts to 1st person perspective (though you can still see your head). During the course of the game, you can obtain additional weapons and armor (as well as other items), either from the course of a sub-quest or purchasing it from a local trader. | ||

Princess Morning belongs to a 'race' of people called the Leowyns. A long time ago, they migrated from a place called the eastern lands, which was held in tyranny. When they arrived on the eastern shores and began to set up a kingdom, they found the mana well. Their findings caught the ears of the Ashidians, who live on the Western shore. They wanted to own this and being a warlike people they swathed a path eastward to take it. The Leowyns, now strong with magic, annihilated them and decimated their civilization, or so they thought. For hundreds of years the Leowyns lived in peace, but they discovered the mana well brought with it a taint from excessive use, so it was sealed. When the Ashidians invade again, you, as Princess Morning, must re-discover the ways of magic. You are armed with the sword and armor of your ancestor, but also use special items with great age or a certain emotional significance to counter the taint. This is an action RPG similar to Diablo in gameplay style. Players guide the main character, Princess Morning, on a quest to master the ways of magic and save her kingdom from invasion. Spells can be created by collecting and arranging runes (up to 12 different runes for a single spell). The player can save a spell design on a scroll, and then equip it as a single item in battles. | ||

The extraordinary longevity of the 2002 rpg Neverwinter Nights (which is required to play this as is Hordes of the Underdark expansion) can be attributed largely to the Aurora toolset included with the original game. With it, Dungeon Masters everywhere could let their imaginations run wild, constructing their own scenarios or modules which could then be shared with up to 64 friends online. Many did just that, and as a result literally thousands of these modules exist today, and are available to the public through BioWare's official Neverwinter Nights site. A select few, created by BioWare designers and prominent members of the online community, were awarded the coveted title of Premium Neverwinter Nights Module. As well as new in-game content, these modules feature professional voice acting and new music scores. For a minimal fee you could - and still can - download them. Neverwinter Nights: Kingmaker is a collection of three such modules. Neverwinter Nights: Kingmaker is BioWare's flagship Premium Module, and along with the other two titles has been around since the launch of their online store in November 2004. Your party - an eclectic combination of characters, is thrown into the midst of a power struggle, set in and around a war-torn keep. There's a colourful selection of NPCs to interact with, plus plenty of intrigue and sufficient quests to keep you occupied for a good 5-8 hours, although non-linear gameplay and alternate plot paths give this module excellent replay value. Neverwinter Nights: ShadowGuard is a story-driven single player module set in the city of Ghaarak, in the custom-created world of Abaran. The story goes that your character's impressive performance at the prestigious Imperial Academy has earned an invitation to join the ShadowGuard - an elite group of agents who serve the empire. There are two to three hours of gameplay to be had with this one, and plenty of secondary quests to supplement the mystery-laden primary adventure. Neverwinter Nights: Witch's Wake is the oldest of the three modules, with over a million downloads since its release. It was initially available as a freebie, but a remastering make-over has seen it elevated to Premium Module status. Essentially the first chapter in an ongoing campaign, your character - sole survivor of a fierce battle, bears witness to a prince's dying words: "Tell the king that she is dead." Unfortunately his message means very little since your character is suffering from memory loss (must've been that last clout on the noggin!). Charged with a noble quest to deliver your liege's message, your character then sets off on an epic journey. Again, you can expect a couple of hours' play or more, but the abrupt "to be continued..." ending is rather unsatisfying. | ||

Night Watch is an RPG developed as a tie-in with the first part of the movie trilogy of the same name, and the events take place after the first novel of the original tetralogy by Russian writer Sergey Lukyanenko. Many centuries ago, Others appeared among humans. Whether a chance mutation or a natural evolution of the Homo Sapiens species, the less the humans know about them, the better. They can live up to several hundred years and have special abilities such as regeneration skills, an unmatched memory and magical powers. These can be trained and allow Others to shift shapes, distort reality, cast magic or summon creatures. Most importantly, they can step into the Twilight, a parallel world where their powers are much stronger. The abilities are not hereditary and Others are born in normal families. Others cannot live without humans, as their world is the source of Other's magical powers. Accordingly, they all belong to one of two sides. Dark Ones feed on human's negative emotional energy, have an interest in the growth of evil in the world and fight any attempt to block their personal freedom. Light Ones feed on positive emotional energy, and though they are not without flaws, try to improve the world. Others are predisposed towards one of the sides at birth, but make their final choice during initiation. As the ongoing battle caused many deaths, including ordinary humans, the Great Armistice Treaty was signed and each side established a group - Day Watch and Night Watch - to keep an eye on the opposing forces. Players control the unitiated character Stas, part of a group of Light Others, directly reporting to Great Mage Geser, Moscow Night Watch Chief. As the characters gain experience, they earn new skills in 3 specializations: Sorcerer (use of magical items), Mage (magic) and Changer (shape shifting). The class can be defined during the character creation at the beginning of the game. The Dark Others have specializations as well and there are also Vampires, a special group the Dark Others work together with. The game is played in real-time while exploring the surroundings with the party, but switches to turn-based mode during battle sequences. There, next to special abilities, the characters' actions are defined by AP (Action Points), EP (Energy Points) and VP (Vitality Points) parameters, and based on the characteristics Strength, Dexterity and Intellect. Although using fantasy elements, the game takes place in a modern world, or alternately in the Twilight, where the colours are much brighter. The player explores the world, usually with Others joining as a party, completing quests, talking to other characters and engaging in battles to acquire new items, spells or enchantments. The game uses a modified engine from Silent Storm, and the camera can be turned around and zoomed in or out. The game uses clips from the movie in the introduction sequence. | ||

This action RPG titled Rinne comes from the makers of Ys and Eiyuu Densetsu (Legend of Heroes). It's presented in 2D and let players watch the action from a quarter view perspective. Rinne takes place on a planet where a Heaven and a Hell race used to co-exist. The former relied on advanced machinery, while the latter was trying to create the ultimate physical body. At the end of a war which almost wiped out both races, the humans who have landed on the planet begin to search for the secrets of the two races. At the same time they start up a massive computer which creates a virtual world. In order to explore this virtual reality, man creates a creature carrying the DNA of the Hell race. It possesses the ability to gain control over other living beings. Players will assume control over this creature. Its two key abilities are called Body Snatch, which allows the player to learn an enemy's skills after taking over his body and Transform. As the name suggests, Transform will allow the protagonist to assume the looks of an enemy he has previously encountered. Sometimes it will be necessary for the player to transform into a certain character to advance in the game. For instance, when meeting an NPC coming from a certain race, he or she might only be willing to give hints to a person of the same race. Depending on the player's actions during the course of the game, he will get to see one of multiple ending sequences. | ||

|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an add-on for Ascaron's Action RPG Sacred and requires the original Sacred or Sacred Plus game to play. In Sacred Underworld the story of Ancaria continues and expands. Ancaria is the kingdom where the story of Sacred is set. The story follows the events after the conclusion of the original game, facing a new threat. Now the players fights off a new evil power that has once again plagued the lands of Ancaria. To do so the game grants you access to two all-new characters besides the six in the original game: the dwarf and the daemon. The dwarf uses more 'conventional' weapons like a flamethrower or a musket and has the ability to plant mines which is very useful in multiplayer. The daemon consists actually of three different characters - the battle, soaring and fire daemon. Each 'version' has it's own attacks, benefits and disadvantages and can be activated with one click. I.e. if you activate the soaring aura you can actually fly for a short period of time. To play the add-on you need a character which has at least reached level 25. But even if you don't have one you can choose from the predefined characters that come with the game which are already level 25. Of course you can always begin a all new game in the old world of Ancaria even with the two new characters. | ||

Slash'EM (Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack - Extended Magic) is a variant of the roguelike game NetHack that offers extra features, monsters, and items. Several of its novel features, such as the Monk class, "conducts" (voluntary challenges), and the Sokoban levels, have been reincorporated into NetHack. The main dungeon in Slash'EM is much larger than in NetHack, introducing special levels such as the Sunless Sea, where a magic lamp lies, and the Guild of Disgruntled Adventurers, populated by "player monsters" (archaeologists, barbarians, and the like). Compared to NetHack, Gehennom comprises fewer levels, though it contains a special level for each demon lord and prince, including those who only appear when summoned in NetHack. These alterations serve to reduce player tedium that results from trekking through repetitive maze levels. Enhanced graphical options also exist, such as the isometric perspective of Vulture, or the three-dimensional rendering that noegnud offers. Vulture (previously Vulture's Claw) is a fork of the now-defunct Falcon's Eye project. Vulture adds additional graphics, sounds, bugfixes and performance enhancements and is under active development. | ||

Knights of the Old Republic introduced Star Wars fans to an old age long before the events of the well known movie saga, where the Jedi fought against the Sith uprising. Now, five years after those events, the Sith have become stronger and more determined to rule the Galaxy. The Jedi Order is crumbling under its might, and as you enter the game you must choose your destiny: Join the Sith and rule all or become a Jedi Knight and save the innocent. Much the same as KOTOR, The Sith Lords is based on the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rule system, however you do not follow on as the same character as the first game, instead starting from scratch with a new collection of heroes. Build your lightsabre and determine your path before completing a range of tasks and becoming one with the Force. Your decisions can have a major influence on the path structure and the people that follow you in your quest, whatever it may be. | ||

Generating RPG. New dungeons and maps are created each time you make a game, and the "Scenario Generation System'' has been completely redesigned, allowing you to enjoy endless adventures through various events that occur in parallel with the scenario. New developments that have not been experienced in previous series await players, such as the ending changing depending on the actions chosen. One scenario consists of four areas (maps), creating a larger story. There is also continuity in the events that unfold in parallel to the main scenario, making the event as fulfilling as the main story. There are 8 main scenarios that take advantage of the new scenario generation system, and there are also patterns that branch depending on the actions of the hero fairy, so you can expect a development that you will never get tired of no matter how many times you play. In this work, we have prepared a scenario in which a female hero fairy appears. In addition to royal characters such as a prince and a young princess, many new characters will also appear, including fairy friends and enemy forces, creating a slightly different story. In addition, you can inherit companion characters from the clear scenario of the previous work "4" or "4 DX", and some of them are descendants of companions who were connected at the ending. | ||

When LeLe, the boy who understands the language of animals, receives a letter from his parents, he is sad to discover that they want to sell Uncle John's ghost house, in which he and his friends spend so many memorable moments in their previous adventure. LeLe decides to buy the house with his own money; the problem is, where would he get so much money from?.. Then his friend, the genius boy scientist A-Ji, tells him that he received a Nobel Prize for a cure he invented against a virus that makes people's minds readable by others. Selling the new medicine would surely finance the purchase of the ghost house!.. The problem is, the Nobel Prize never reaches A-Ji; it is secretly intercepted by his brother... but for what purpose? Like its predecessor, Tun Town 2 is a humorous RPG made by the well-known Chinese developers. Gameplay mechanics mostly follow the Japanese template, with a few tweaks. The exploration takes place mostly in the large city. Enemies are seen wandering on the streets; a contact with them triggers a separate battle screen. The ATB (active time battle) system is reminiscent of Final Fantasy games; the player has to execute battle commands quickly, as the battles don't pause and enemies still act regardless of the player's actions. Characters learn special techniques which require technique points, equivalent to magic in comparable games. Beside the human characters, various animals (such as dogs) can join the party and assist it with their special abilities. Similarly to the system implemented in Xuanyuan Jian 4, the player can collect various materials and then craft new items and accessories out of them. Various mini-games are accessible in Tun Town 2, such as dog races, shooting range, etc. The graphical style is similar to that of the first game, with cartoon-like, comical design and animations, but translated into 3D with the cel-shaded technique. | ||

The core staff of Wizardry Gaiden that was first on GamBoy in 1996 reunite and return to the series with a completely new story. This once again goes back to the core rules and monotonous dungeon walls. But the conservative approach also accounts for one of the games’ strengths: The monster graphics are all high resolution versions of the SNES games and look absolutely great. The game engine is set up to be able to load new episodes, as well. There is also an online editor that allows to load user created scenarios. You can toggle English text. An extra scenario titled Jihi no Fuzai (慈悲の不在), also known as "The Absence of Misericordia", was made available as a paid download on August 11, 2005 only for the PC version. | ||

This is an entry in the Xanadu series of action RPGs and a spin-off of the 1985 action role-playing game Dragon Slayer II: Xanadu. It casts you as a young adventurer recently arrived to the outskirts of the abandoned kingdom of Xanadu, there you hope to raid the dungeons and make a name for yourself, however you get tricked early on and now a curse lays over your head, turning your quest for adventure into one for survival. The game is played from a mouse-driven third-person perspective from which you issue orders to your character. Gameplay consists of the usual dungeon crawling and leveling up, with some added puzzle solving sequences and lots of boss battles to overcome. You can find unique items all over the world and trade them at the local shop back in town, as well as find ancient treasures, buy unique "cards" that grant your character special abilities and learn the lore of the long-forgotten Xanadu. Players seek out enemies, and then rapidly press the attack button to attack them. Spells could also be cast with varying strengths by holding down the spell button, allowing you to cast more powerful spells, but allow the enemies to close in on you. One unique quality the game had was allowing players to switch between two different classes per level, using "Guardians". On each level up, players were able to pick between playing as a spell casting character, or a melee fighting character. Players were encouraged to play for long periods of time. Each group of enemies you cleared raised the experience point bonus from the next group by 1%. The longer a person played, the more experience they would get with each enemy killed. In 2016, an English version was released. | ||

The first game in the popular Nintendo series, Metroid (1986 release on NES), defined its gameplay concept and most of the features. This is a fan-made rewrite of Metroid, from scratch, for the PC. It's written entirely in C++ with no emulation of the original ROM. It tries to recreate the NES version as best as could be done. The biggest differences are the addition of a save system that shows your progress, and as a hidden bonus, the Space Jump from Super Metroid. Metroid games typically combine platforming (as in Mario games) with free exploration, taking a cue from Zelda. As opposed to other platform games of its time, the player is not required to proceed through a series of linear stages in one direction, but rather explores large and complex interconnected areas. In the future, the Galactic Federation and the pirates of planet Zebes are at war. Pirates have stolen an unknown life-form, recently discovered on the planet SR388. The life-form, designated "Metroid", is in a state of suspended animation and, according to analysis, was the cause of the complete destruction of SR388. If the Metroid ever got loose, the alien could destroy countless other systems. It is up to the space bounty hunter Samus Aran to land on Zebes and find her way through the perilous terrains of Brinstar and Norfair, destroy the Pirates, as well as their alien enforcers, Ridley and Kraid, and rid the planet of the alien life form before the pirates complete their plans of world destruction. Using the cybernetic enhancements of her Power Suit, Samus can use a range of weapons and defenses to destroy the enemy. She can also absorb enemies powers into her Power Suit to increase her defense and chance of survival. Using her weapons and special abilities, she must find her way to the central chamber of Tourian and destroy the Mother Brain, the mysterious leader behind the Space Pirates. | ||

Directing the actions of Snow White, the player travels through a fairy-tale world in which he performs the tasks assigned to him, solves simple logical puzzles, and fights with opponents. An intuitively simple control system has been designed especially for the youngest recipients. The visual setting of the game definitely differs from modern standards. The three-dimensional graphic environment is very small in detail, and the attention is primarily drawn to the vivid colors and unusual decorations of the game screen, stylized as the theater audience. | ||

Loosely based on Super Mario Bros., you play as Marisa, who goes on a search for golden mushrooms. The game features many different enemies and no end to levels. In v1.10 and higher, you can also play as Alice. The game uses a system called "head proportions", by which Marisa's power can be measured. Collecting brown mushrooms increases them by one, to a maximum of four; red mushrooms, on the other hand, double them, for a maximum of eight. Alice, on the other hand, cannot progress beyond 2x head proportion. She gets the ability to throw Marisa dolls as projectile weapons to make up for this. Point items are accumulated in a level through both grabbing boxes and killing enemies. Killing enemies in a combo yields more point items, e.g. 1 for the first, 2 in the second, etc. When 256 point items are accumulated, an extra Marisa is awarded and the counter resets to 0. Each stage has a halfway point; if you die after this point, you restart at this point rather than at the beginning. | ||

This is a simple game representing the genre of platformers, designed for the youngest computer users. Playing the role of the teddy bear in the title, children travel through various areas in search of diamonds. As is usually the case in the productions of this species, on the way toddlers have to overcome various traps and obstacles (e.g. unstable ground) and face other "obstacles", such as creatures that make it difficult to access the sighted and desired, precious stones. The whole fun is enriched by a solid dose of humour, nice music and colorful, three-dimensional visual setting. | ||

| Tedi Si Vehiculul Timpului [Ro] | La Festa International | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a 3D-platformer arcade about Tedi, one of mascots of La Festa International company (now Maplex). Game features nice 3D-graphics and classic arcade-platformer gameplay on 11 big levels. The goal of the first level is to get Excalibur out of the stone. There is no need to look for a boulder with a legendary sword, because we start right next to it, but there is not enough strength - magic intervention is needed. The level map can be roughly divided into three zones. The first is a small rocky labyrinth, in which it is impossible to get lost with all the desire; the second is a farm with fields, a mill and barns. Here, the bear cub will not mind being bitten by geese - but they will not touch the hero if you do not get too close to them: by the way, all enemies behave this way. There is also an extremely unusual, in fact even secret, enemy - a garden scarecrow. Approach it, and it will make it clear that you should not wander around the territory entrusted to it. Here on the farm among the trees you can meet Merlin, who will help us get the sword, but the session of endowing the heroic (sorry, knightly) strength costs 50 coins. They are scattered all over the place and it is not difficult to find them. In search of money, we will visit the third "zone" - a village with cute houses and watchtowers. The second level will pass on the other side of the fortress walls. Uneven medieval houses, standing close to each other - that's what will surround us. The goal of the stage is to open the door, but luck is over - the lever is broken. Fortunately, there is a forge on the square, and for twenty-five coins the blacksmith will be able to melt the piece of iron we previously found in one of the nooks and crannies into a lever. In addition, you will have to find two gears, one of which is hidden in the most visible place, but it is not easy to get it - you just have to approach, as the grate rises and blocks the path to the part. We'll have to contrive and have time to jump over the obstacle. The third stage is a kind of introduction to the Stealth genre for children and, in addition, an excellent gameplay solution for children's arcades. We find ourselves in the courtyard of the castle, teeming with dangerous knights and less dangerous guards who do not want to leave the door we need. Because of them, you will have to jump on the upper tiers, ring the distraction bell in the backyard, and then rush to the door until they return.The most interesting fourth level will take us to the halls and rooms of the castle, full of a variety of mysteries and just curious moments. Who would have thought that a teddy bear is resting in royal beds? The culmination of this level, and perhaps the most beautiful moment of the game, is the haunted library maze. The task of the stage is to find the goblet in one of the chests placed everywhere and present it to the king. For this, he will open a portal where we will enter. | ||

| Academy of Magic: Word Spells | Total Eclipse Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
You have enrolled in the Academy of Magic. Make your teachers proud and advance from a Novice to a Grand Master as you build words and learn spells. This is, as its name implies, a word game. You must spell words of three or more letters by clicking the letters in correct order. The letters must touch, side-to-side, up-and-down and/or diagonally. As you complete words, you gain manna but, also, obsidian tiles will appear from the right side of the screen. You must complete the level or use these tiles before they reach the teacher at the left side or it is game over. Also, as the game progresses, you will learn spells that can help you, provided you have the manna to cast them. These spells can include removing, changing or swapping a letter tile, freezing an obsidian tile so it won't slide left or turning an obsidian tile into a regular tile. Also, some tiles will have gems appear. These are amber, amethyst, emerald, ruby and diamond. If you use letters with gems, you get more points and manna. If you collect at least one of each kind of gem, you will open a bonus game. There are three game modes. In Strategy mode, there is no time limit. Obsidian tiles will only appear or move after you have made a word. In Action mode, there, technically, is no time limit but obsidian tiles will appear and/or move after a few seconds, whether you do anything or not. In Time trial mode, you have a limited amount of time to complete the levels or it's game over. | ||

Help Samantha save her friends and family in this match three game based on the classic television series about a witch that marries into a normal family. Use your mouse to swap gems to make a match of three or more. In Match Mode, just keep making matches until the timer (broomstick) runs out to get the highest score you can. In Endless Mode, just keep making matches. There is no timer. In Story Mode, at each level, you must make matches so Samantha can travel from the beginning point to the tile with the magic swirl within that ends the level before the timer runs out. At the end of the act, you will have rescued someone. Act 1 is Darin and Act 2 is Endora. If you match five of the same, you get a magic potion. When clicked, it removes all of one type of gem from the screen. Sometimes, you have a broom (the clean sweep) appear. When clicked, whatever way it is facing, it will clear all gems along that row. At times, a gem will turn black. This is a blocker. It cannot be moved or matched to so to clear it, make matches of the same shape on other parts of the screen. | ||

Return to the reef for some awesome word-making and to get totally righteous fish for your viewing pleasure. This is a word game set in the Big Kahuna Reef landscape. Use your mouse to click a series of letters to form a word. They do not have to be in a straight line but they must be next to each other without crossing. The words must be at least three letters long. The object is to form words whose letters are over the wooden crates. This will remove the wooden crates and clear the level. If there are metal plates, these must have words created over them twice to clear them. Some letters are locked, with a box around the edges. These letters can be unlocked by using them in a word but they can only be the first letter of the word. Sometimes, you will have spaces with a green star instead of a letter. These are wild cards and can be any letter that will make a word. If there are no words you can form over wooden crates, you can use the volcano to clear and replace all letters on the board. | ||

This is a very simple arcade/logic game with unique gameplay features. The gaming field is a 5x7 grid, filled partially with pairs of elements. Every pair consists of two different elements combined of four possible. You control the box with an element inside. You can move around the field on empty spaces. You can also remove pairs of elements, if you have the same element as the one of the pair. When you remove the pair, your element becomes the other element of the pair and the score is increased. The gaming field scrolls down and your goal is to stay as long as possible on the field. At the last line, if you can't take the pair in front of you, the scrolling will move your block out and the game will end. | ||

It can be played on three levels of difficulty: normal, hard, and genius. A Hall of Fame tracks players' highest scores, longest words played, and average word length. | ||

This is a compilation of a staggering more than 500 Commodore 64 games on one hybrid Windows/Mac CD-ROM. The games aren't ports to Windows or Mac platforms, but rather they are stored in the original C64 format and can be played with WinVICE, emulation software included. The games will be loaded automatically after you click on them in a nice GUI, and you don't have to load them one by one in the emulator, which comes in handy. You can even view and read additional information on each game, such as screenshots, the manual, the year of release, the original company that coded the game, links to their web page and more. Numerous games included have versions where you can choose unlimited lives, level skip etc. Please also note that loading time is emulated as well, but using the warp mode (alt-w) you can speed up the emulator to 1300%, speeding up loading time drastically. Pressing alt-w again makes the game run back at 100% speed again. | ||

| Chainz 2: Relinked | MumboJumbo, LLC | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is the sequel to Chainz. The game has four modes of play: Classic, Arcade, Puzzle and Strategy. Each uses the core mechanic in a slightly different way. The game is played by rotating colorful chain links to connect them to other links of the same color. When three or more are connected, they are destroyed, and the links from above fall in to fill the space. In the Classic Mode, the player has to fill a progress bar before running out of moves. The boards get tougher as the levels progress, but when you complete a stage, you can always start a new game from that point. The Arcade Mode is the same as Classic with the addition of a time limit for each level. In Puzzle Mode the player must clear the board of links in progressively harder layouts. And in Strategy Mode, the player must fill the progress bar, but each time they rotate a link, two more are spawned. If the board fills before the progress bar is filled, the player loses. Like the original, the player can earn bonus points by matching links with letters on them and spelling the word CHAINZ. Also, there are new power-ups that help clear links. There is a lightning bolt that removes a complete column and/or row. There is a bomb that destroys links in a radius, and there is the Snowflake, which freezes the board and allows you to make lots of links that collapse all at once for big bonuses. There is, however, the Black Link, which cannot be rotated, and makes for trouble because it takes up valuable space. | ||

This is an inlay puzzle game. The game relies heavily on the hand-drawn artwork that comprises all the backgrounds in it. Each small section of the bigger picture corresponds to a certain chapter in the fairy-tale story. Each of those sections features a specific creature or object which directly relates to the story itself. Poet and the nightingale, the girl and the knowing snail, schoolmistress, dolphins are some examples of the characters player will encounter through the course of the game, bringing it the flavor of an ongoing adventure. The gameplay remains typical to that of an inlay game. The player should correctly fit the crystalline shapes given to uncover the picture beneath them. The trick is to do that before the string will be overrun by shapes. Additionally player has an access to an array of power-ups that will either stop the string of figures or abandons some of them. Also player can take advantage of Chameleon Shot that will break the complex figure into a simple one. Together with crystalline shapes players will encounter a piece of jewelry that must be correctly assembled in the additional portion of the screen. Once done it will allow to upgrade various gameplay stats. For example, player can increase the number of score given or decrease the speed with which the figures are moving. | ||

This is a single player, 3-D, top-down, isometric game based loosely on the classic Breakout. It is the sequel to the game Chicken's Revenge. The game features a hen who's out to rescue her chickens which have been captured and imprisoned. To secure their release our heroine fires a ball, 'Breakout style', at everything in her path. This clears the ground uncovers treasure which increases the score, pressure plates that allow her to advance and power-ups that may either help or hinder. All of which, if used carefully, will ultimately enable her to free the chicks. When the last chick has been freed the level is complete. There are three types of game play, normal, easy and timed, in all the objective is to release the chicks and score points. The game is entirely mouse controlled. | ||

| Chuzzle Deluxe | Raptisoft, LLC / PopCap Games, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a tile matching puzzle game with 4 different game modes and trophies for special events. Basically, you have a 6x6 rows big screen, filled with different colored Chuzzles (some sort of pets). Unlike other tile matching games, you don't move the tile (in this case the Chuzzle), but you actually move the entire row so that you get 3 same colored Chuzzles in a group. They then "explode" and the gap is filled with new Chuzzles. Row moving is possible due to the fact that the rows (both horizontal and vertical) are "round", meaning that moving the outer left Chuzzle one tile to the left will result in appearing of it at the outer right position. The four different game modes are: Classic, Speed, Zen and Mind Bender. Classic works like explained above, but you will also face mega Chuzzles (2x2 tiles big) which can't move out of the screen and locks, which will lock the two rows where it is located. Locks can be destroyed by making a match (mega Chuzzles by the way too). The game mode is level based. Just score as much points as needed for the level and you proceed with the next one. If you run out of possible matches, you can scramble the screen (basically this equals the lost of a life). Speed is like Classic, but you play against the clock. With each match, the counter is set a bit back, but as soon as the counter reaches the top, one Chuzzle will be locked. This goes until no moves are possible. Once you completed the level, the locks are reset. Zen is a relaxing mode. No locks and no clock. In Mind Bender, you job is to recreate a certain given pattern with your 36 Chuzzles. No clock and no special level order required to play. For the first three game modes, if you don't know any further, you can buy a hint (reduction of the score). The major feature of the game are the trophies. In the Trophy Room, you see 22 placeholders for trophies, which will be awarded as soon as you met the requirements. Those are for example for seven-step cascades (you make one match, which will trigger six additional matches), beating 10 levels of Classic, making a six tiles long match, or playing a game without using a hint and much much more. | ||

John and Harry are in trouble. Their somewhat corrupt lifestyles in the marketing office of their company is about to end when their company issues various management quality control from accountants to basically anything that may disrupt the lifestyles of these two British white-collar workers. The player's job is to take charge of the lives of either John or Harry and make sure they're little corporate adventures go unnoticed as well as any other trouble that may come along during the missions available. As mentioned above, the player at the beginning of the game, chooses and controls one of the two characters available in the game: John, the corrupt, sleazy co-worker and Harry, the nervous yes-man always watching John's behind. The game is set on the office floor. The player has their own office surrounded by coworkers and other related person(s). It's viewable in third-person perspective with a camera that may be rotated or zoomed in/out. Gameplay itself is divided into the following sections: Daily Office Tasks - As a white collar worker, the player has to fulfill various tasks assigned to them on a daily basis (viewable on a PDA). Each of these take an amount of time (e.g. 30 minutes, 60 minute) and they must be completed before office hours are over (9 AM - 5 PM) or the player gets an official warning from the superiors. After four warnings, the player will have to find a new job (Game Over). These tasks are usually among the following: photocopying reports with the photocopy machine, phoning clients, or and making reports on the computer in the office. Certain tasks also can only be conducted during a certain time. This usually refers to various management meetings. Not arriving on a meeting on time will mean a failure to meet the task requirement. The PDA will advise the player on Personal Objectives. Only by completing personal objectives will advance you in the game. Personal objectives are varied special events that will result in available special actions. Office Politics - The strategy in the game is balancing the time between personal objectives and daily mundane office tasks. Some personal objectives have time limits (e.g. Tuesday, 7 PM) and since those office tasks require a lot of time, choosing which task to do first is essential in strategic gameplay. Social skills is also a major part of the gameplay in the game. Person(s) with good relations with the player will provide more information (or gossip). If the player has really good relationships with a person (i.e. friend or love), the player may even ask them to do some of their work, at the cost of ruining their relationship a bit. Improving social skills is done by correctly using chat features or even buying them coffee, though watch out, money in the wallet is limited to 10 pound sterling. Social relations are returned to the default level every time the player advances in a mission. | ||

This is a time management strategy video game. It is one of the top-selling downloadable games of all-time and popularized time management casual games. Bored with her dreary job in the office, Flo starts up her dream job - running her very own restaurant. You and Flo build a restaurant empire through 50 levels in five different restaurants of seating customers, taking their orders, serving their food, and cleaning up after them. Speedy service and good atmosphere is needed to keep the customers happy, and keeping them happy is the best way to get huge tips. The player must balance service for the five different customer types, each with their own quirks. For example, the business lady is very impatient, but eats very fast and gives very big tips, while the senior citizen is extremely patient, slow to eat, and cheap (he's got to save his retirement money, after all). There are also two chain systems to keep track of, a service chain for doing the same service multiple times in a row, and a seating chain for seating customers of the same color in the same seat. | ||

These Caravel-produced level collections add to the official story of DROD with quality writing and voice acting. You will have new puzzles to solve that live up to standards set by the full products. In Larry Murk's Perfection, the story continues immediately after the end of DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold. Beethro comes upon a strange sect of evangelical dungeon architects called the Perfectionists. These odd characters take math and geometry about as seriously as you can take it. Eighth enthusiasts won't want to miss the events that take place. To solve the puzzles in this hold, you'll need to be a bit of a Perfectionist yourself. This is truly a difficult hold to complete, perhaps the most difficult ever? Lock the door, unplug the phone, and set aside ten or a hundred hours to plow through this one. You got some tough smiting ahead with 77 rooms to conquer. Halph Stories includes two holds that feature Beethro's annoying nephew, Halph. We used this issue to gracefully retire the current version of the Halph game element, which is a little fellow that can open doors for Beethro. I don't want to spoil it for you, but if you play to the end of DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold, there is an event which changes Beethro's relationship with Halph significantly. Since it became impossible to include Halph in our holds without breaking the rules of the story, we decided this issue would be the last that uses Halph (at least in his current form). The two included holds are, by necessity, off-canon--or in other words, they do not continue the official story of DROD. Beethro's Teacher (2006) What can you teach Beethro? He's stubborn, grumpy, and has his own ideas on how to do things. Perhaps it's time for him to be more openminded and accept a little help from a stranger. This hold is considered one of the hardest released to date, so I hope you are up to the challenge! Journey's End (2006) Beethro comes to the end of the High Path, just outside Rooted Hold where the story continues in DROD: The City Beneath. Listening to popular demand, we turned the difficulty level down to give you and Beethro a break. One of the two holds included, Smitemastery 101 is an introductory adventure designed for children or perhaps just the less-determined. The other hold, Master Locks is brought to you in two different versions, normal and hard, so you can choose your challenge. Devilishly Dangerous Dungeons of Doom (2008) In Roger Barnett's "DDDD", after Beethro learns a terrifying secret at Lowest Point in DROD: The City Beneath, he seeks to warn everyone of the danger. However, the Empire seeks to block him at every turn. Beethro learns a devilishly dangerous dungeon stands in his way to the one person who might listen to him and do something about it. Join Beethro Budkin in a raucous romp of alliterative allegory in this hilarious hold filled with six loopy levels of fantastic fun! Smitemaster for Hire (2009) contains two puzzle-packed holds from master architects Jason Fedor and Rasmus Björling. Suit Pursuit is of medium difficulty. It picks up where Devilishly Dangerous Dungeons of Doom left off. Beethro is making his way back to Rooted Hold to learn about the Grand Event, but someone in the Empire seems to not want him to know about it. This time, a border checkpoint requires him to start taking his Imperial "profession" seriously. Hilarity -- and a lot of smiting -- ensues. A cast of new and old faces make an appearance along the way. Complex Complex is a difficult hold that harkens back to the days when Beethro is running his famed Roasted Roach Grill after clearing out King Dugan's Dungeon. Beethro receives a call to infiltrate the secret base of a rogue architect. The price is right, but when Beethro finds himself pinned between two warring factions, will he find he has bitten off more roach meat than he can chew? The Truthlock Method (2009) It contains an amazing hold by George Wanfried, one of the best architects out there, while the story is designed by DROD creator Erik Hermansen. Beethro finally returns to the City Beneath after his many adventures. With the unfathomable Grand Event fast approaching, Beethro is still looking for the Truth. And here, he finally uncovers a True System for finding it, once and for all. He will encounter familiar faces from his earlier adventures, such as Jobus from the Perfection Complex and First Librarian, and meet new ones that will become firmly rooted in the story. | ||

This Zuma clone has you journey through Egypt while battling Set to help Isis save the land. A level consists of a pyramid and a long path. On this path, scarabs, Set's minions, are moving long groups of different colored spheres toward the pyramid. Your mission is to hinder those scarabs from completing their task. For this purpose, you have a winged sphere shooter with which you fire your own spheres into the queues of the moving scarabs. When you create a group of 3 spheres of the same color, they vanish. As soon as all spheres of a scarab are removed, you have destroyed this minion. Either when you destroy one of Set's minions, or you take too long to destroy it, another minion with lots of new spheres enters the screen, heading for the pyramid. Once you have destroyed all spheres in a level, you proceed to the next one. But when a scarab's spheres reach into the pyramid, you have lost a life. The game offers 88 levels, which are spread over 12 stages throughout ancient Egypt. When you progress through the levels, you will start with just one pyramid, but this will change over time, and you must play against two (or even more) scarab groups simultaneously. To help you, and make the game more interesting, there are plenty of power-ups available, like fireballs and lightning bolts for destroying multiple spheres, stopping, slowing down, and reversing the movement of all enemy scarabs for a few seconds, precision shots (with an aiming help), and some others. In 2011, Luxor HD was a remake released using Luxor 2's Graphics and in high definition. | ||

This sequel to to the arcade style action-puzzle game has players going on an adventure, travelling across a map of ancient Egypt, with each of the 88 levels getting progressively harder. There is a choice of three difficulty levels: easy, intermediate or expert. The player controls a winged scarab which travels side to side along the bottom of the screen. The player shoots one of seven colored spheres at a line of approaching spheres traveling along a path. You must prevent the spheres from reaching your pyramids, or the level is over. Making a match of three or more will make the enemy spheres explode. Exploding spheres can drop coins, which you collect to get extra lives. They can also drop power ups, which help to destroy the enemy spheres. The power ups are very helpful. There is a wild ball which matches any color, there's a lightning bolt that blasts through spheres, and a fireball that explodes any sphere in its blast radius. Other power ups make the approaching spheres slow down, stop or even reverse direction for a short time. One power up makes you shoot faster, and has a beam of light to aid with aiming. They added a new power up, the scorpion, which speeds out of the pyramid and destroys the first ten spheres it encounters. The player can create a profile, and the player's progress is stored for future play. If the game is lost, then the player can start a new game on the furthest stage attained. In 2012, Luxor: Amun Rising HD was released with high-definition graphics. | ||

In free mode, players can freely choose from eight characters and enjoy a variety of situations and a variety of lines. In addition, famous scenes can be recreated in story mode with new dubbing and videos.

|

In this bridge game, you can have fun on three different levels: from amateur, through club, to tournament, where we will have to face Omar Sharif himself, who, as probably not many know, is not only a brilliant actor, but also a keen brigade player. But it's not that easy, because in order to climb to the top of the game, we first have to prove that we are champions as amateurs and club members. The game is strictly skill-driven and, contrary to what the producer says, is not the best choice for someone who has never been in contact with the bridge before. What distinguishes this production from other, similar ones, is its full three-dimensional graphic design. The environment looks very realistic, the clocks show the real time, and the elegant interiors are closely matched to the level of gameplay. You can adjust the lighting around you as you like. The game offers us both playing alone and online, with other players not generated by the computer. | ||

Outbreak Velocity is a 3D brick breaker in the tradition of Breakout. Use the mouse to move the paddle. Press the left button to start, then hit the ball to keep it in play. The angle of the reflection of the ball is related to where it touches the paddle, depending on the that the ball is near or far from its center or edges. Hit the bricks to destroy them and clear the level. Bricks colorful and crystal shatter in one shot. The bronze ones in two, money in three. Gold bricks cannot be destroyed. Bricks will fall and be able to destroy the paddle. A light bonus can sometimes be issued. Pick it up to get points. You earn a life every 10000 or 15000 points depending on the level difficulty. The whole level goes down gradually. The higher the level of difficulty, the higher the the higher the progress. Downfall is a 3D brick breaker with a major originality, because when the bricks are hit, they fall towards the player instead of disappearing. | ||

Dive into this undersea adventure. SpongeBob, Patrick, and their pals have been separated from each other, and it's your job to reunite them. You'll definitely need your sea legs to navigate the tricky boards in this game. The game is a simple 3D platformer featuring SpongeBob trying to find Patrick by going through the levels. The levels consist of 3 "worlds:" Bikini Bottom, Jellyfish Fields, and The Abyss, each with 20 sets of boards. The player has two sets of controls to use: the keyboard, using the arrow keys to move and the spacebar to jump; or the mouse, using it to point SpongeBob in the direction they want him to go, and clicking the left mouse button to jump. The objective of the boards is to get from Point A to Point B and find Patrick, all while collecting bubbles. After successfully completing three boards, the player can play one out of four mini-games, each with their own pre-game animations: Get Acorns, where the player controls Sandy and has to collect all the acorns before time runs out; Get Krabby Patties, where the player controls Patrick and has to collect the Krabby Patties before time runs out; Get Music Notes, where the player controls Squidward and has to collect musical notes in time; Get Coins, where the player plays as Mr. Krabs and has to collect the money before time runs out. The game is actually just a reskin of an already existing game from the same developer called Best Friends. | ||

This is a casual poker from the creators of the revived Sam & Max series of games, Telltale. As suggested by the title the only poker present here is Texas Hold'em. The player must compete with four characters, each with his own unique personality and appearance - not that dissimilar in style to the characters seen in Sam & Max games. During the course of the game, they will comment on everything, changing their responses and reactions properly according to the situation. For example an "All In" move will inevitably cause surprises on the characters' faces. Apart from that the characters may engage into an idle humorous banter, talking about things unrelated to the game and happening for comic relief only. While not aimed towards serious poker game simulation the game takes pride in its humorous and light-weight approach to the subject, and cleverly scripted AI that allows characters react accordingly to every game situation. | ||

This is a single player tile matching game. At least three versions of a game of this name have been sold by Nodtronics, the earliest had 'over ninety-nine' tile layouts, this was replaced by a game with three hundred tile layouts and this was replaced with a game that has over one thousand layouts. The later game, with over one thousand tile layouts, can be played in two modes: Ultimate Mah-Jongg which allows the player to play of the 1001 tile layouts, using any of seven tile images, in either 2D or 3D. This is the mode where the player has access to the editors that create new tile layouts and tile sets. This game mode plays in a window only. Each layout has an associated high score table. In addition to this the are statistics which show how many times the game has been played and the all time high score for the tile layout as it is posted on the internet. On completion of any game the player can optionally upload their score to the website which, as at March 2015, was still active. Ultimate Mah-Jongg: Road To Enlightenment which has two modes of play, Adventure Mode and Freeplay Mode. In Adventure Mode the player plays six consecutive games, each one harder than the one before. Each game is timed and every pair of tiles the player matches earns them additional time, hints and other bonuses. Each game completed scores points and unlocks additional tile layouts for the Freeplay mode. This mode has a high score table and can be played either in a window or full screen. Additionally there are in-game secrets to be discovered. The Freeplay mode starts with a subset of tile layouts and background pictures, more of each become available as the player unlocks them in Adventure mode. | ||

This is a game in the vein of JezzBall, in that the player must divide the playfield into sections in order to clear it of enemies. As the player divides the playfield, the smaller section will be blanked out killing any enemies trapped within and walking along the border. When the playfield is reduced to 15% of its original size, the level is cleared and the player can move on to the next. There are two different kinds of enemies: ones walking around the border of the playfield and ones swimming around inside the playfield. The enemies display different movements. While most walk in their own random patterns, some will actually follow the player's launcher. Some border walking enemies will even attack the player's dividing lines in order to stop the division from happening. There are 9 stages which are essentially just backgrounds, with 599 playable levels in total. | ||

This is a solitaire Scrabble variant. The player is presented with a selection of words (of 2 to 8 letters) and must place them horizontally or vertically to fit on a 15x15 board. Each level requires you to place or create a specified number of words to advance. In Strategy mode you have unlimited time for this; in Speed mode it must be done before the Word List is full. Once the target has been reached, the player can continue until the board is full, so as to improve the score. Words can interlock with other words (HAIL and LEAD sharing an A, for example), be placed at either end of existing words (most likely onto an S to play the plural form) or be placed alongside existing words, forming one or more 2-letter words (HOOP could go diagonally below LAST to form AH, SO and TO, for example). You are scored for the word you place and any new words created by it, so adding a word to an S scores two words, and the LAST-HOOP example would score four. The game uses a USA dictionary. The first move must be played onto a star – this is in a different place on each level, and early levels have two, allowing for 2 separate interlocking grids. The game can offer a Hint of a valid move – an extra one is available every time a level has been completed. Three words can be Discarded from the word list – this is more useful in Strategy mode. The boards contain an increasing number of custom squares as you play through the levels. These can double, triple or quadruple the value of a word, provide additional Hints or Discards, or act as barriers upon which no letter can be played. | ||
