Beyond The Threshold | Nacht und Nebel | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
You play the role of fictional Lovecraftian occultist and paranormal scholar Friedrich Wilhelm von Junzt, celebrated author of Unaussprechlichen Kulten, a volume exploring the blasphemous worship of ancient and alien eldritch beings. It's a creation of Robert E. Howard of Conan the Barbarian fame, who was a friend of Lovecraft. It was his equivilant of Abdul Alhazred and the Necronomicon. Although the story's focus is centered around the nameless narrator's search to find a large and ancient black stone in Hungary and the horrible discoveries he learns when he dares to delve into its origins, the strange death of Von Junst after he finishes writing "Unaussprechlichen Kulten" is the premise of the game "Beyond the Threshold." The game attempts to provide a more detailed account of how Von Junst died and what he did just before his death. There are virtually no details as to the cause of his death in "The Black Stone." Through all your investigations and studies, your unwelcome scrutiny has not escaped the attention of certain dark forces; as Nietzsche said, "If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." Something oozing from the black heart of the abyss has followed you to the very door of your Düsseldorf study with an eye to curtailing your research into Things Man Was Not Meant To Know; safe for now in its reinforced arcane security, but not indefinitely, you must determine the nature of your pursuer and procure the necessary components to send it back to the Cyclopean ruins from whence it shambled. This is accomplished through standard Myst-style first-person navigation of a series of static screens using your mouse's two buttons to investigate, manipulate and combine the contents of your study into a talisman powerful enough to thwart the hellish tormentor who lurks just outside waiting for your guard to drop. The game takes its name from a short story by Lovecraft's literary heir, August Derleth, and uses the Wintermute game engine. | ||

Blackwell Legacy, The | Wadjet Eye Games | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
A new company called Wadjet Eye Games has been founded by independent developer Dave Gilbert, and the first project announced is an episodic series called The Blackwell Legacy. Gilbert, best known for his freeware adventure Two of a Kind and fresh off his first commercial release, The Shivah, will once again seek to create a game with distinctly old school adventure gameplay and presentation. The new miniseries builds on the story and characters first introduced in another Gilbert freeware title called Bestowers of Eternity. It stars a medium named Rosangela Blackwell, a reclusive would-be writer in New York City, and her "spirit guide", a ghost named Joey Mallone. In each episode, this unlikely pair will be called upon to "assist tormented spirits and investigate supernatural events." Their first adventure will see them confronted by an unexplained series of student suicides at a local university. Each episode will focus on a standalone investigation, so it won't be necessary to play each game in sequence, though an emerging backstory will provide a connection between episodes for those who do. Each game will cost $14.99 USD and be available as a download directly from the Wadjet Eye website, though the company is also exploring the possibility of a boxed version. In January/2012, a remastered version was released that was transferred to the latest version of the AGS engine, plus revised sound and an audio commentary and other small changes as well. | ||

Blue Suburbia | Nathalie Lawhead | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Created by an artist and flash designer, this is a magnificently dark and dramatic world filled with striking imagery and haunting vignettes. The project began as a small animation on her website and grew to incorporate her own poetry and a number of small scenes commenting on western society and the modern school system. The application is more like an experiment in interactive poetry rather than a game, as there's no real goal, purpose or progression. Even still, it's an absolutely stunning piece of artwork that you'll want to explore to its fullest. As you move around in the dark, disconnected world, you'll come across Nathalie's writing embedded in objects or fading between various short scenes. There is rarely a clear path to take, you simply explore by moving the mouse and seeing what happens. It's exciting and chilling all at the same time, as you never really know what you'll stumble across next. Walking through doors, clicking on words or otherwise discovering a new area initiates a short scene interspersed with text. They're all different, they're all a little breathtaking, and they're completely fascinating to watch. You'll be completely enamored by the dark atmosphere and haunting scenery. | ||

CDX | Preloaded / BBC History | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
CDX is an interactive multi-episode adventure game that uses real actors and video segments to spin a tale of mystery and intrigue around an ancient Roman sacrificial blade. There are four episodes. It's based on a six part BBC TV show about Ancient Rome. Core to the proposition was to include educational content in a non-traditional way, being discreetly informative. The story-line of the game takes the form of a dark contemporary thriller set in the background of the series broadcast on television. The central narrative premise - a prop man working on the show becomes embroiled in intrigue and dark happenings - takes the story beyond the broadcast. The format of the game is very much like a point-and-click adventure in that you're presented with a brief cutscene introducing you to the story and your role within it, except it is entirely live action video. You're next dropped into a room in which you must figure out how to move the story forward. Exceptional attention to detail and high production values set this effort apart from other Web-based point-and-click adventures, and the acting is fairly top-notch. There are even selectable dialog sequences in which the actors will play out a scene based on the choices made by the player. The experience attracted 1.2 million unique visitors in the first six months. | ||

This is the last in trilogy of Russian adventure. Tired of worrying about being a policeman, Lech Chaikin decided to return to the army. But he is not an ordinary contract soldier, he's an ensign and the well-fed head of the warehouse. Here he was to start to have the sweet life - with rivers of condensed milk and the shores of oil, cereals, canned food (as well as other products from the strategic reserve of the homeland). But no such luck. Although the situation in the region is quiet, and drills ar not grueling, but there's an abundance of thrills. The educational deputy chief dabbles in torture, the cook in the kitchen suspiciously quickly is running out of meat, and also a new villain - a warlord - raises a scare. The parody of the typical "heroes" of military service has racy army jokes and is stylishly hand-drawn in the best traditions of the genre. | ||

The player takes the role of a female police officer who has to solve a tough case: The murder of Elisabeth Lindberg who has been found in the men's room of a hotel in Stockholm. After her father's death she took over the business, much to the disapproval of some employees and relatives. She's also a former model and has been recently divorced from a famous pop star. This means there are a lot of suspects around. The player takes the role of the supervisor and never leaves his office - exceptions are the interrogations which he is also responsible for; his two assistants are specialised in forensics and general investigations. The player gives his orders by stamping fields on the various info sheets, e.g. to to execute a search warrant he opens the house sheet and drags & drops the stamp on the corresponding field. After a short while he receives the results in an e-mail - every time new information arrive these can be directly accessed by clicking on a symbol in the upper left corner. The player also has four other tools to his disposal which help him solving the case. The phone is used to call three people: The managing inspector who gives hints when stuck, the district attorney to receive search warrants and a journalist who can give important additional information. A special board is dedicated to show the relationships of all suspects to the victim or to each other. Here the player also orders the surveillance of a suspect. The computer has a timeline of the crime saved which is used to find discrepancies in the statements of the suspects and unaccounted time. Finally the map shows all locations which are relevant to the investigation. Before the interrogations the player has to choose up to three topics. He often has the choice between a nice and a confrontational statement. While the latter may bring more information it can also offend the suspect and lead him to stop the conversation. It is, however, not possible to get stuck because of that. | ||

Dread Mac Farlane series | Marion Poinsot | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is a freeware AGS adventure game series based on the French comic book series of the same name published by Clair de Lune. Dread MacFarlane (2006) Adaptation of Volume 1 of the comic book, "La Carte d’Estrechez". Dread Mac Farlane, a young Caribbean half-breed, finds herself in the Imaginary Land after the assassination attempt on her father-in-law. Her memories and her desire for revenge will come back and she will seek help from the pirates. Dread MacFarlane (2008) This game is an adaptation of the first album in the series, La Carte d'Estrechez and curiously it was fully turned into a game by the original author herself, Marion Poinsot. This title is her second take on the game. Two years before she already released an AGS game with the same name based on the same story, but quite different in gameplay. The developer takes advantage of the interactive medium to split up the linear subject matter into different chapters, with flashbacks detailing the past leading to the events that progress the story. This game tells the tale of Dread Mac Farlane, a girl who wants to become a pirate in a male-dominated environment. She is able to board the ship Jolly Roger of captain Crochet but only because she promises to lead him to treasure hidden on an island. The prologue explains how the treasure was hidden and Dread's history is further explored through smaller chapters that take place during her childhood. These introduce her mother and her father Vincente Estrechez. Also interwoven is an adapted version of the fairy tale of Peter Pan, as Dread ends up joining the Lost Children and needs the help of Tinn-Tamm (Tinkerbell) and her pixie dust during some puzzles. The journey takes the players through many locations and stages in Dread's life. All graphics are hand-drawn, and as to be expected from a comic book artist, rich on details in a style that compares somewhat to The Curse of Monkey Island, but thematically more mature with less comedy. Gameplay is typically point-and-click, with a focus on inventory-based puzzles. The cursor only shows a single icon, left clicking is used for examining and right click performs an action. It is possible to die, but only during a few instances. Unlike her earlier reworking of the game, no panels from the original comic book are used, as all images have been drawn completely from scratch and the music is now wholly original. The game does borrow some puzzles from the earlier game however. Dread Mac Farlane 2 (2008) is a shorter sequel adaptation of the beginning of the second comic book: Dread Mac Farlane, the Crocodile of Time. It has not been completed fully. Looking for Dread Mac Farlane (2018) Point & click adventure game in the world of Dread Mac Farlane. Help Marie, the descendant of pirate Dread Mac Farlane, find her ancestor's trail to bring her back to Imaginary Land to help end a bloody war between Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Graphics made with Plotagon software. Programmed with Adventure Game Studio. Dread Mac Farlane: Le Fils du Pirate (2020) After returning to the Imaginary Country with the help of his descendant Marie, Dread returned to Captain Hook, but the latter is moping because of the presence of too many pirates on the new islands that have appeared in the surroundings, and on which he no longer has any control. Dread will then do everything to help him find a new meaning in his life: get to know the son they once had together, James. Features: made with Adventure Game Studio; Characters created and animated with The Sims 4; Certain songs from the group Ye Banished Privateers, with their kind authorization. | ||

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey | Funcom / Aspyr Media | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
6 years after the critically acclaimed modern adventure The Longest Journey was released comes the sequel Dreamfall. It will feature some characters from TLJ, but will concentrate mostly on a new cast. The premise is that the Earth we know is actually only half the story of the universe. Our scientific Earth's true name is Stark, and its reality is mirrored in another dimension by a magical Earth called Arcadia. The game concerns a young woman named April Ryan who lives on Stark in the 23rd century. When a disaster throws the balance between the scientific and magical Earths out of whack, it's up to April to step in and restore equilibrium between the two universes. Core to the story are three playable characters: Zoë Castillo a twenty-year old young woman who lives with her grandfather; Kian an assassin who will begin to question his beliefs and returning from TLJ, April Ryan who will discover that no matter how hard you try, you cannot escape the past. In what can best be described as a modernized version of point-and-click, characters will have an innovative 'focus field' that allows you to interact with and scan the environment. Instead of point-and-click, you sweep the area with the focus field to find interactive objects or inventory items. One of the puzzles we were shown utilized the 'focus field' as your character had to light a torch and it does facilitate a smooth transition between puzzle and game without interrupting the flow of the game. | ||

Frasse and the Peas of Kejick | Rikard Peterson / Trumgottist Games | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is a nice freeware game made with the SLUDGE engine. You are a blue ball of fur who decides to go for an adventure. For this, you need to enlist the help of your green, handless friend, as well as the occasional advice of other characters. It has a standard fairy tale story but very well told. The challenges you'll be facing are varied, and some of the puzzles will be very hard, thanks to certain lack of logic. This is somewhat offset by the two-character play, where each character is very unique. Your primary character has hands and thus can hold and manipulate inventory and climb ropes. Your secondary character, on the other hand, is smart and thus can communicate with others much better. He can also kick things around, which can become useful. It's extremely linear, and so figuring out what needs to be done won't take you all that long. On some screens you can scroll left and right, but the player won't get an indication of this, and some important clues may be overlooked. The production value of this game is very high, with simple yet very cute graphics and a very good soundtrack. A special edition was released in May, 2010 with voice acting, improved Music, and improved graphics. | ||

Gateway I This is an award-winning minimalist adventure game series set in a mostly empty black void. It's an impressive and delightful 3D puzzle awarded Honorable Mention and the coveted Audience Award in JayIsGames' Casual Gameplay Design Competition. The game has a very simple premise: guide a robot through a series of rooms; but you will have to solve a mini-puzzle within each room to advance. Using the mouse for control, simply click where you'd like the robot to move and it will walk to that spot if its path is unobstructed. By moving the robot around each room you can pick up objects and interact with controls and devices. You can even combine objects that you've picked up in your inventory. And you will need to do all of these things at one time or another in order to finish the game (sometimes all of the above for the same puzzle). Gateway II (2007) This was runner-up as best game at JayIsGames' Casual Gameplay Design Competition. You again guide a robot, through a dream-like setting, in order to solve numerous and varied mini-puzzles for a seemingly unknown purpose (though a purpose there is, as you soon discover). Using well-placed musical cues and subtle environmental sound the author has created a virtual world that draws you in from the moment you launch the game. The setting and aesthetics are so enticing and mysterious, it doesn't matter at first that you don't know what your ultimate goal is (or indeed if you have one). Gateway III (Mar 31/2020) The lengthiest installment in the series by far – is released as part of The Gateway Trilogy which includes remastered versions of the first two games – plus a never-before-seen third installment. Features: loosely builds upon the previous games in surprising and discomforting ways; Appreciate the reworked music, gameplay and visuals; Experience strange and ambiguous stories; Solve tricky puzzles in an abstract minimalist void; Hard mode - Tackle 40 extra devious puzzles if you feel up for the challenge; Commentary - Listen to the creator outline the choices behind the game's design. | ||

Haluz 1 & 2 | Springtail Studio | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is a Flash adventure game series from Slovakia. Haluz is a game of the point-and-click variety that contains several scenes and a variety of simple puzzles that must be solved to advance. What do you do when a very large bird makes off with your rooftop satellite dish? Well, use the resources around you to your best advantage and get it back. Haluz is a beautiful game within its class and the closest to come to the stunning imagery seen in Samorost, which is without a doubt the inspiration behind this game. Although similar in appearance, the puzzles here pale in comparison and are sometimes awkward and confusing as to what must be done. For example, the very first and last scenes can take quite a bit of time before figuring out what to do. Still, if you love games like this you will likely enjoy Haluz, too. In 2007 the sequel Haluz 2 was released at first for a modest price, but later in February 2008 it was released for free. You attempt to guide a character through the environment by clicking on-screen objects. For example, in order to move a makeshift elevator to the top of a tree, you might have to wake a sleeping bird at the right time, flip a switch, or do something even more creative. It's very Rube Goldberg-esque at times, and you can't help but smile at some of the solutions to these odd puzzles. Overall, the levels aren't very difficult to solve, it's usually just a matter of finding what to click and then clicking it at the right time or in the right order. But Haluz isn't about bending your brain, it's about the sheer delight of navigating a beautifully rendered world and grinning along the way. It's a treat for your eyes and ears. | ||

Heartland Deluxe & Unbound | LimpingFish | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is an AGS engine adventure game series of three short introductory games based on the backstory of an upcoming full-length game entitled: Wound. The entire game takes place in a single rendered room, in which you can scroll using a 360 degrees 1st-person panoramic perspective. Quite short, it is part of a larger series of vignettes centered around a mysterious scientific project called caterpillar. When R. J. Cooms, a local nut, leaves a note at the City Pursuer newspaper, reporter David Lawson, troubled by soaring headaches, goes to his apartment to investigate the matter. Coombs is not home, but Lawson snoop through his belongings to find clues about what has happened. The reporter needs to watch television clips, listen to tape recordings, and find a way to uncover the sinister secrets hidden in the room. Controlled using the mouse, you can either examine, pick up, or use objects. There is also an inventory to hold a few items. Although the game is fairly short, the shreds of evidence and the puzzles will keep you busy for an hour. Unbound is the second vignette in the Wound series, was released in 2007 and is meant to be played after completing Heartland Deluxe. This entry further explores the story introduced in the first game, but now from an entirely different perspective. The player is cast as Dr. Fielding, one of the scientists involved with caterpillar scientific project that went horribly wrong. He is being questioned by an unknown group of people about the work of Dr. Powell who was also with the project. The game is played from a first person perspective in a single room with a full panoramic view. Only a small amount of puzzles needs to be solved and there are two main actions: pick up and examine, next to the inventory. Most of the story is revealed in the intro, and in the game through some documents and Fielding talking to himself. The aim of the game is to help Fielding escape. This release is shorter than it's predecessor, and will take less than five minutes to complete. The third game will be called Mobius. | ||

However, the club never formed, meaning Rika has no friends, she gets bullied by Satoko, Hanyū is absent, Rika is not revered as the reincarnation of Oyashiro, and the village will soon be submerged underwater. Rika has to choose between staying in that world or killing her own mother, which will enable her to leave that sinless world. In Jun/2022, an English version was released. | ||

Il Destino | IDAC | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Il Destino is an online point-and-click room escape game by the same team that created The Bar. Your father is a famous car designer who created a vehicle based on your childhood drawings. He sold it shortly after it was built and you thought you'd never see it again. But today your father gives you the keys to his showroom where you find the shining car waiting for you. The only problem is you can't seem to get out. Just like The Bar, this takes place in a single, stunningly rendered room. Everything you see is drawn in clean, shiny detail. The camera dramatically swoops as you navigate with the shaded arrows on the screen. You can also find hidden areas and uncover items by clicking on the scenery itself. In order to solve the puzzles, you'll have to find and use items in conjunction with each other. Click the inventory item, then click "About Item". This gives you a close-up of the object and lets you use other things with it or maybe even manipulate the item itself. When compared to The Bar, this game is much more straight-forward and easy to solve. The puzzles make more sense and you don't have to roam around clicking everywhere to find what you need. Navigation is a bit tricky in some areas, as the arrows don't always seem to point where they lead. It takes some time, but you'll be able to easily move back and forth with just a little exploration. A short but nevertheless stunning game. Il Destino R is a brand new remake of Il Destino, sharing exactly the same scenario. It takes place in the same show room used for Il Destino: story and visuals are identical in both games, but objects have moved around, and puzzles are quite different and probably trickier, not to mention the new color of the car. | ||

This freeware game is a beautifully woven interactive narrative that may even be considered a work of art. The point-and-click adventure consists of five (5) starkly different levels, or vignettes, that explore feelings of inadequacy, hopelessness, anguish, loss, and the like. It takes place in a museum where there is no visible exit, but some of the paintings serve as portals to other worlds in the main character's brain. You can move around by clicking on a room on the museum's map. The images and words expressed may seem familiar to anyone that has found themselves slowly sinking into a world of depression or self-doubt. But in the end it is a soulful journey that must be experienced to appreciate the unique form of narrative that the author has constructed. | ||

The old grey-bearded monarch has called you for taking part at the council of all knights of the Round Table, where you have to discuss about boring themes like the rebellion of some farmers in the outer regions of the king's empire or the threat of an aggressive force. With a yawn you start out, in forecast of never-ending, fruitless discussions with the king and your knightly colleagues. You step into the large ceremonial room with the heavy round table of oakwood in the middle of the room and find out, that the king is alone. "My dear", he greets you with warm words : "Fine, that you come here..." What he is now telling you in lots of decorated words, first sounds like a myth, even later you cant imagine, what mission you became. You are calling the most important phrases back in your memory: "Deep in the south from here is a castle, that's very hidden and difficult to find... it includes a very old mystery, a valuable treasure: The LAPSIT EXCILLIS, a jewel, that has amazing power, it lengthens the life of everybody who has it and presents the owner with its rich gifts... i must have this stone, by hook or by crook! And this, my dear, is your mission: Find this place - the Castle Wildenburg - and bring me the valuable stone... King Anfortas currently owns this magic stone, schmooze him, take him by surprise, however you will get it, but bring me this stone! As reward, I promise you my daughter and a place on the crown!" Without taking long time you leave the empire the next day, disguised as a simple vagabond. Use your old-school adventuring skills to find and examine items, talk with strangers, buy items with Taler (gold), anything you need to find the elusive castle and fetch the prize for your king. Keep an eye on your hunger and thirst levels, for you will die if they are ignored. | ||

Nancy Drew 15: The Creature of Kapu Cave | Her Interactive | [top] | |

Nancy travels to Hawaii as a research assistant for Dr. Quigley Kim to determine why the population of native caterpillars has exploded. She runs into the Mapu's – the family of a budding pro surfer – who loan her a jeep and give her directions to Dr. Kim's Camp. The Hardy Boys, on a separate covert operation, are also visiting the Mapu's and staying at the family's cultural immersion center. Mike Mapu warns her to avoid the Hilihili research compound and its evil vibes; it' super secretive and some believe it's linked to the legend of Kane 'Okala - that a man was sacrificed to the hungry volcano to appease it. The "rough-skinned man", later escaped from the volcano, but he was scarred for life with a frightening appearance. When Nancy arrives at Camp Quigley, she sees a monster ravaging the camp, and soon discovers that Dr. Quigley is missing! Could the monster she saw be Kane 'Okala? As Nancy explores the island, she finds more than she bargained for: invasive beetles are damaging the island's ecology and could pack a devastating blow; are there ties between the beetle and caterpillar problems and the secret compound? Could Malachi Craven, the mad scientist of the Hilihili research compound, be behind it all? Maybe the Kane 'Okala is back for revenge. As her Hawaiian adventure unfolds, Nancy discovers the Kapu, or "forbidden" cave, and suspects that something mysterious is hidden in the cave – behind the Tiki Centennials (totems) and caterpillar webs that guard the entrance. In this fifteenth installment in the award-winning series, you can play as three different characters for the first time - Nancy, Joe Hardy, or Frank Hardy depending on the skills and clues required to solve the mystery. Jump into a SUV and navigate using your GPS to travel to the microclimates of Hawaii. Solve an assortment of puzzles to gather clues that allow you to progress through the game. For instance, players must fish and collect shells to make jewelry for surfer Pua Mapu – players will need to lean on Hawaiian symbolism in order to unearth a few more clues. Navigate a coral gauntlet – and avoid the hidden dangers that lurk within. Use the Second Chance feature and take risks without starting over. Call for hints from Bess and George designed to help struggling detectives navigate the game and choose from two difficulty settings. | ||

In the depths of the Ancient Steppe appeared a weird town. Once a small settlement scattered around the monstrous Abattoir, it unexpectedly developed into a mysterious, isolated establishment with an odd social structure. This odd society has managed to survive for several generations. It could have continued to aspire, were it not for a sudden outbreak of some enigmatic, lethal and inescapable disease, which begins to mercilessly slaughter the denizens inhabiting the area. Even science has proven helpless in finding a cure, or at least providing some explanation. Three outsiders arrive in the contaminated town. The first was a highly-educated Bachelor with a ruthless manner of investigation, assigned by the provincial authorities. The second one is a far-sighted Ripper with a reputation of an ingenious surgeon, in search of his father's terrible heritage. The last character is an eccentric girl, possessing mystic healing abilities, that could become the town's heavenly salvation were it not for the constant fear in her dejected eyes and fresh memory of the horrors of her recent past. Each of them must survive in this hell and play a vital role in the fate of the doomed town. It's a bizarre combination of first-person game, role-playing features, non-linear plot and real time flow. The town has a life of its own, it constantly changes and adequately reacts to the player's behaviour and random circumstances including the heroes - when one is chosen, the two rejected heroes act on their own, plotting against the player. In Oct 29/2015, Pathologic Classic HD was released with a brand new in-house English script and new voice-overs: For the first time ever, the game has cast off the major issue that had previously disallowed international audiences from accessing it. New content: A certain amount of text that had previously been cut from the international version of the game have now been restored. It has updated textures and higher resolutions support, new visual effects, and newly Included Fan-Made Polish translation: thanks to the hard work and generosity of Jakub Derziak & Aldona Derdziak. | ||

Penumbra was created as a technology development project, with the aim to explore new uses of physics in games.

They worked on the project between September 2005 and April 2006, the engine is completely in-house developed. The game includes all sorts of eye candy that you would demand from a contemporary retail title. It is not just about the tech however and the game's developers have spent a long time making the storyline intriguing and incorporating the in-game physics in such a way that the result is a very cohesive and immersive title. | ||

Petka 007: Gold Party [Ru] | Saturn Plus / Buka Entertainment | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This installment in the long-running Russian series begins with the titular Petka and his commander, Vassilij Ivanovich Chapaev, on a ship with their comrade Furmanov (reminiscence of a popular story from the times of the Russian civil war of 1918). But as it often happens in video games, something goes wrong: the young and reckless Petka accidentally teleports the ship into the future, namely 1969. The ship collides with Hugh Hefner's motorboat. Chapaev is unconscious, and Petka realizes that the future once again depends only on him. Like the previous games in the series, Zoloto Partii ("The Gold of the Party") is a puzzle-solving adventure, mainly focusing on inventory-based puzzles. Graphically, it follows the template introduced in the previous game. The title and the setting are an obvious parody on James Bond; but the game also pays homage to Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail, also the seventh installment in the famous humorous adventure game series; like Love for Sail, it is set on a ship, and revolves around "pleasing" young sexy women. | ||

Pilot Brothers: Secret Of The Atlantic Herring [Ru] | Pipe Studio / 1C | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This the sixth adventure in the Pilot Brothers series of games based on the popular Russian franchise. The main heroes are the two cartoon brothers - Chief and Colleague, who live in a small Soviet town of Berdichev and search for missing animals. The game starts with the brothers reading a newspaper (as always). Since all the herring from the local shop made a great escape through an underground tunnel, they decide to catch it and jump straight into canalisation. Another character from the series — an unlucky Slave from some exotic country — falls down after them and joins the team with a manhole cover in his hands. For the first time a game in the series goes the platform/puzzle way, utilising a cooperative style between characters very similar to The Lost Vikings games. Each character has his own special abilities. Chief can fight enemies and shoot enemies with a handgun. His colleague can run and jump at a high speed, as well as destroy walls with a hand pick axe. Slave uses the manhole as a protection device and a hand parachute. Together they have to pass through 20 levels divided into several themes (bank, prison, historical museum etc.). There are different enemies and obstacles on their path, including walking mummies, angry janitors, lasers, elevators and other platform elements. The game features a colorful 2D cartoon graphics, hand-drawn backgrounds and lots of goofy animation similar to the cartoons. | ||

Riddle School / Riddle Transfer | Jonochrome | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|

Riddle School (May) The simple little parody adventure game that would grow to have over 2 million hits on Newgrounds. Your goal is to solve basic puzzles to escape school, like any student would probably do if that didn't have serious consequences. It's a relatively silly game that reflected opinions of school in a sarcastic manner. It's made with ActionScript. Riddle School 2 (Nov) is widescreen, giving the artwork more depth and detail, adding more variety to the puzzles, and generally making the game longer and more interesting to play. The core concept was the same, except instead of elementary school, the game takes place in middle school. Riddle School 3 (Mar/2008) This game has additional cutscenes and a satisfying ending. Riddle School 4 (Apr/2010) This one has mild violence, mild blood, and moderate dark themes. Riddle School 5 (Apr/2010) This one's motivation was to surprise everyone with a completely new experience that the previous games hadn't offered. It's an adventure game that legitimately required you to think logically to beat it, rather than be able to resort to trial-and-error. It's also the most cinematic project. Riddle Transfer (Jun/2011) starts right where Riddle School 5 left off, as all the characters are abducted by a facility known as Zone 5.1. Contrary to popular belief, Zone 5.1 is supposed to be an independent organization that isn't affiliated with the government and was obviously based on Area 51. Riddle Transfer 2 (May/2016) Released on the tenth anniversary of Riddle School, it's the definitive ending to the story of Riddle School.Return to Riddle School (May/2016) was a fan remake by Noodle of the first game. | ||

Something Amiss | Tucker Bowen | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Something Amiss is a free online adventure game about a woman who undergoes a routine MRI scan that changes her life forever. She must unravel the mystery of what was done to her - by exploring a strange new world. The story is divided into chapters of which two are currently available. At the conclusion of each chapter you'll receive a password that you must enter at the start of the next one. The story is based off a novel of the same name written by Tucker Bowen. Game design, graphics, and animation are also done by him. Something Amiss is built using Greg MacWilliam's ingenious LASSIE game engine. It has a distinctly classic Lucas Arts adventure flair with surprisingly good visuals. Three chapters were released and Tucker has incorporated user feedback to make the experience as satisfying as possible. The first chapter sets the stage and has you trapped in a dark, mysterious laboratory. Search the lab for clues to why you're alone and try to find a way out. It's a very short chapter and there isn't very much to do, but it's a good introduction to the series and gets you yearning for the next installment. Also, you'll need to remember a password at the end of Chapter 1 so you can play Chapter 2. The second chapter in Something Amiss fleshes out everything that made the first one good and cleans up quite a few of the interface issues. After escaping the MRI room, Alice discovers she's no longer in Washington D.C., instead she's lost in the jungle. There's a lot more to explore in this chapter and the puzzles are more intricate. The third and final installment took a year to make. This chapter finds the intrepid escaped test subject Alice back in custody, awaiting her fate at the hands of persons unknown. But you're not going to stand for that, are you? No, Alice has been through enough, and she's ready to take control of her own destiny. It's finally time to get some answers! | ||

Spooks | Erin Robinson / Chris Moorson / Vince Twelve / Xii games | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This nicely-drawn freeware game made with AGS (Adventure Game Studio) takes place in the Land of the Dead where a day at the Carnage-Val usually means games, rides, and putting up with the rather defective employees. However, for a little ghoul named Mortia, things are about to take a dive out of the ordinary. When a smooth-talking skeleton convinces her to try a game of darts, she wins the most amazing prize she's ever seen: a live goldfish. The moment before he disappears mysteriously, the skeleton tells Mortia that her fish won't stay "alive" for long if she doesn't help him. So, naturally, Mortia names her new companion "Spooks" and sets out to find him someplace safe to be "alive," although she has no idea what that word means. Little does she know that her task will take her from the Land of the Dead to places even more bizarre. | ||

Super Jazz Man | Herculean Effort | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
From the maker of the freeware Apprentice adventure series, comes this first commercial effort. The game puts you in the unitard and cape of a musical superhero who waits tables at the Zanzibar restaurant under the cover of night. After playing a weekend concert that revolutionizes the local airwaves, our saxophonist receives a phone call at work. Super Jazz Man explores the fundamental elements of an adventure, unfolding locations with the progression of the narrative while featuring nostalgic low-color graphics. Restaurant waiter Stevie Jack looks like an average guy, but when he puts on his cape he becomes musical superhero Jazz Man. He revolutionizes the local airwaves, armed with his saxophone and a plethora of catch phrases - Jazz Away! One day, a group of high-rolling rappers kidnaps his kitten Bebop. Jazz Man has to hunt down his pet and needs to discover why the rappers are targeting him. He visits locations in the city to collect clues: the record store, the park, a gym, a volcano, and even a library, a place he tended to avoid like Bee Gees records. Done entirely in pastel colours, the game has a distinct retro feel, similar to the LucasArts adventures. At the bottom of the screen, you can select the actions (walk, examine, pick up, use, talk) on the left, there is an inventory on the right, and a command line just above it. Rooms are roofless, as Jazz Man cannot only walk around, but fly to different locations as well. Puzzles are based on conversations and item combinations, with a fair amount of pixel hunting. Sometimes problems can be approached in different ways, and the final part of the game offers four different endings. There is no voice acting, but the game features a large amount of jazz-inspired background music, and Jazz Man has a solo up his sleeve as well. It's available for purchase for $8.95 and is longer than either Apprentice game. | ||

Thayer's Quest | RDI Video Systems / Digital Leisure | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Originally released in the arcades in 1984, Thayer's Quest drew fans in with its inventive interface. Instead of the standard joystick for control, it used a unique keypad. Success in this game is all about your decisions, not your reflexes. Designed for the arcade scene by Rick Dyer, the creator of Dragon's Lair, it was a game that gave players more choice and allowed each player to have a unique gaming experience. You control Thayer as he journeys through the Five Kingdoms to recover the lost artifacts of Quoid. Beware of what lies on your dangerous journey through the kingdoms as using the wrong spell or giving up the wrong item could be the last move you make. However, many people you'll meet along the journey will help you. The game is also available as an interactive dvd for your television. The arcade machine made use of a keyboard to issue commands but now you can actually touch items to pick them up. In 1995, Thayer's Quest was adapted and released for several common gaming platforms and CD-ROM under the title "Kingdom: The Far Reaches." Thayer's name was changed to Lathan and all the game sounds and dialogue were redone. In late 1996, Shadoan, a newly animated sequel to "Kingdom," was released. | ||

This is a prequel to the first game as we help a 13 year-old Tony solve his very first case. The game follows one day in the life of Tony as he investigates alien-landings and ancient Indian-cultures in his hometown of Washington, New Mexico during the early 1950's. But the graphics are also retro, for though they have progressed from 2D to striking 3D characters, the high-resolution graphics are presented in an Art Deco-style that pays tribute to the American small-town paintings of Edward Hopper and it works for the graphics alone are reason to purchase this game. It's again a point-and-click interface with inventory objects, but now we have real-time shadows and lightening effects, real-time weather changes and lots of interactive objects. The developers are promising over 30 rendered locations and over 20 characters, most of whom, you can be sure, will be slightly eccentric. | ||

Trilby's Notes is the third game in Yahtzee's series of horror adventures, a sequel to the classic 5 Days a Stranger and a prequel to the follow-up 7 Days a Skeptic. In the first game, cat burglar Trilby found himself trapped in a house with a machete-wielding killer in a welder's mask. In the second, set hundreds of years in the future, the Welder returned to stalk the crew of a space ship. In this game, players again take control of Trilby, now recruited by a secret government agency to investigate occult phenomena. A gruesome death leads Trilby to believe that the evil he thought he had destroyed when the DeFoe mansion burnt down is still out there, and his investigations bring him to a charming little hotel in Wales. Before you can say "REDRUM", Trilby starts seeing the hotel change. The simple but comfy beds are replaced by torture racks and strange altars, body parts are strewn across the corridors and lobby, and the walls are covered with messages scrawled in blood. A Special Edition of Trilby's Notes is now available for a small donation of at least 5 dollars American to my Paypal account. Additional features include author commentary, the full soundtrack with composer notes and prototype tracks, the Books of Chzo in Word format and an extended ending scene. | ||

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

This is a third-person, point and click adventure set in World War II. Players step into the shoes of John Russell, a renowned nuclear physicist in Nazi Germany in 1943. Russell, a Brit, has been sent deep undercover by MI6 (the British international espionage division) to investigate a new weapons project the Germans are developing. Although not a spy by trade, his expertise in nuclear technology has made him a crucial component in discovering what the Germans are up to, but he'll get assistance from other allied spies along the way. One of his fellow agents is Anne Taylor: as attractive as she is daring, the young woman plays a big part in obtaining the explosive documents that put the British agency on the trail of the secret German weapons program. The highly talented agent is not one to do things by the book, so you'll always find her in the most dangerous places. John isn't exactly happy that she always seems to lead him into trouble – but then he has a difficult time resisting her charms… But Russell will have to be careful: can her really trust Anne or is she pursuing her own agenda? The game is out in Germany so far. | ||

URU Live: Myst Online | Cyan / Gametap | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
In this multiplayer online version of URU, players can move at their own pace spending hours discovering visually stunning real-time 3D worlds, solving a large variety of mind-challenging puzzles, enjoying the company of other explorers, and following an epic storyline. That Uru Live has life at all is probably surprising to some. The game had a strong fan base before it was shut down during beta on February 9, 2004 due to a lack of financial resources. Left with no official place to play the game, many players stayed together in an unsupported freeware version of the game called Until Uru, made available by its developer, Cyan Worlds. Now Gametap will offer it as part of its gaming service where for a monthly fee you can play a range of games. So far it is available in the U.S. and Canada but will expand to other parts of the world eventually. There are a number of changes to the game from the freeware version. GameTap has implemented a new physics engine that governs movements in the game's virtual space and has new sound support for Uru Live. Explore a growing selection of ever-changing worlds on your own or with your friends. Discover believable persistent online environments that change when you interact with them, and the various in-game events assembled by the Uru Live developers. Be a part of the many in-game and out-of-game events set up by individuals in the community. Play multiple mini-games while you wait for friends to log-on. Create a personalized avatar that you can customize. Receive your own personal island place where you can relax and call home; you can also personalize your home to fit your mood. Receive customizations from the Uru Live developers by completing different tasks or being apart of in-game events and groups. Use text chat to interact with friends and "neighbors"; use Voice chat to personalize your avatar even further. This lasted until Gametap decided to remove Uru from its roster in April 2008, so less than a year and a half it had picked it up. At least, this version introduced many new areas. Two years after the cancellation of MO:UL, Cyan acquired the rights for the game and re-released it as Myst Online: Uru Live again, or MO:ULa for short, in 2010. It is currently still being maintained and can be played for free, however it is funded with donations. The content is identical to that of MO:UL, but there have been several minor bug-fix updates since its initial release. There is no story continuation or new content though. | ||

This is a unique-looking adventure with almost black and white graphics made with the Synopsis source code. "All my heroic deeds were but an offering to cowards. Those thousand warrior slaves sacrificed under the same flag would have just contributed to give more importance to a caste dedicated to command a decadent people. Bitterness has invaded my mouth, a deadly venom rushes through my veins, confidently drank in a cup offered by traitors. I will no long feel the warmth of defeated blood on my battle-pained body. My last enemy was my own kin. The ultimate attack against evil may not happen, our deceased One knew it, I will never know...". It's a 3D episodic adventure game where you play a character trapped on an asteroid, a relic of an ancient civilization. | ||

What Linus Bruckman Sees When His Eyes Are Closed | Vince Twelve / Xii games | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Inspired by the dual screen of the Nintendo DS, this is a freeware adventure made with AGS (Adventure Game Studio) where you play two games simultaneously, real-time, and in split-screen. In Kami, you guide the spirit of a female samurai, killed in a village raid. To save her people, you must free the fallen god Izanami, trapped deep inside the same caverns. In DocMcVonSpaceBurger, you are the cartoony alien Junior, only wearing undies. You have to help your father who gambled all his money. The only way to avoid bankruptcy is to restore the order system of the DocMcVonSpaceBurger fast food empire. The game itself consists of a single screen, with one, very thorough puzzle. The twist is that any action you take in one game is mirrored in the other. In the first run, Kami is completely in Japanese and thus impossible to solve if you haven't mastered the language. When you complete the DocMcVonSpaceBurger puzzle, however, the Japanese text is translated and you can start a second run. Each of the two puzzles (top part and bottom part) can be solved individually, but based on the outcome (fail both, solve one, solve both), there are different endings. Even though all actions are mirrored, there are a few tricks involving switches, colours, and different axes granting a little amount of control over the different effects. In Kami, you need to rearrange the fragments of a story based on deceit. In DocMcVonSpaceBurger, the main challenge is to find out the customers' needs and provide the right capsules. Both games have distinctly different art: the top game has a stylish oriental look, while the fast food empire is very cartoony. If you manage to crack both puzzles simultaneously, you are given a code to add your name to the hall of completion on the developer's website. | ||

If you enjoy games like Samorost, you will feel right at home in Wogger. 12 large levels lead you through Woggers own world and strange creatures will appear. 4 levels are in the free version and 8 additional new levels are in the retail version. | ||

Billy can hatch penguins, seals, and other creatures and command them to help him on his quest. | ||

Blob, The | Banana Games | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is a freeware game written by students of Game Design & Development at the Utrecht School of the Arts and students of Game & Media Technology at Computer Science at Utrecht University. The concept is similar to the Katamari series. The player controls a single blob, part of a group of aliens, who crashed his ufo into the city of Utrecht in The Netherlands. The game is played on a single, large map with white buildings. Initially, the blob is transparent, but by rolling it into characters of different colours, colour can be absorbed and used to paint the buildings in town. Next to the primary colours, they can also be mixed to create green, brown, orange or purple. There are 3 objectives: to paint all the buildings in town, to colour 17 important landmarks such as churches, a library, a cinema, or the town hall, and finally there are 50 coins to collect, which unlocks a bonus. The landmarks all require a specific colour and often a certain blob size. The blob's movement is entirely controlled by the mouse, with the left mouse button to jump and the right mouse button to view the level map through a top-down view. Bonus points are awarded for quick combos while painting different buildings. Structures can be painted over again, but no additional points are awarded. While navigating through streets, bridges, over ramps and railways, the blob grows with each absorbed character. To make it shrink, the blob needs to be moved into water, which also washes off the colour. This also needs to be used to get rid of the black colour, caused by the I.N.K. police who chase the blob with agents, vans and helicopters. While black, the blob cannot absorb new colours. THQ noticed the game and was very impressed with the team's work, and acquired the rights to the game which led to commercial versions on consoles and portable devices. | ||

Brave Dwarves: The Creeping Shadows [Ru] | GameOver Games / Nival Interactive | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is a 3D action-adventure story in the formerly 2D series of games with an interesting plot, fraught with an unexpected ending, and original “adult” humor that will make even the most distrustful smile. The game will require flexibility of mind and originality of thinking from you - you can complete “Brave Dwarves” only by being able to make truly non-standard decisions. Two different characters complement each other perfectly - it is impossible to play with only one character; you need to use the skills of both Dwarves, switching from one to the other to overcome different game situations. This creates many possible strategies for completing the game and ways to solve local problems. As befits any fairy tale that tells of beautiful valleys and fabulous creatures, the story of “Brave Dwarves” originates in a quiet village. The brothers lived and did not grieve, when suddenly a misfortune befell them: evil newts kidnapped a fellow villager. Perhaps no fairy-tale people can compare with the gnomes in honesty, courage and loyalty to ancient friendship. The brave warrior Torvald and his magician brother Fafnir set out on a journey. Their path lies through emerald valleys, misty forests and winding caves to a distant country, where their friend, the blacksmith Vahur, is languishing in captivity. Helping each other along the way and outwitting dozens of enemies, the brothers must get to the mysterious, gloomy country of creeping shadows and save their comrade. The gameplay, decorated with real gnomish jokes, matches the rich colors of the three-dimensional world - lively, dynamic, requiring ingenuity and ingenuity. The intense game combines seemingly incompatible elements: the dwarves will have to shoot enemies with magic, fight with a real battle axe, sneak unnoticed under the very nose of the formidable guards. The fate of the fairy-tale village of gnomes is in your hands. Exciting journeys, complex riddles and quests await you, where you need to show ingenuity and logic. | ||

The game is about you taking care of, training and competing with horses. By winning competitions, your horse's value increases and thus you can buy more expensive and bigger horses. You train and compete in jumping, dressage and terrain rides. There are 8 different courses for each step for a total of 24. In order for the horse to exercise and compete, the horse must have energy. The energy is the total value of the horse's needs, love and hunger. These needs are met by the player taking care of his horse with everything it entails. The game is set on Auntie's farm, Whinnydale. Here player starts with a small horse and, by training and grooming it earns points: golden horse shoes for grooming and general care; horse coins for winning competitions; apples for solving simple timed puzzles. The horse coins are used to buy new horses, there are eight to choose from. The apples are used to teach the horse new tricks while the horse shoes are a record of the player's ability to care for the horse. The player can care for the horse themselves or choose to let Auntie do it. If Auntie cares for the horse it will always be fed, fit, happy and ready to be schooled but the player will not earn any golden horseshoes. This is not a detailed simulation. Horses are groomed and saddled, stables are mucked out with all with just a few mouse clicks. Riding however is keyboard controlled, left/right arrows steer, up/down alter the speed, and spacebar makes the horse jump. There are three disciplines to train in. Show Jumping and Cross Country where the player has to complete a course and finish first. Dressage where the player is judged on their ability to follow a course closely and at the right space. All disciplines are practiced in the paddock while the contests are held in the Forest Arena. Throughout the game the player is given clear audio instructions on what is expected. | ||

House, The | BlazeHedgehog | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Plainly put, The House was developed as an experiment and a challenge to myself to make a game that is genuinely scary. Though viewed from an overhead isometric camera angle, my goal was to make the player feel immersed and connected to the world in which he was playing through. Rather than shuttle the player along a linear pathway, The House itself could be considered free roaming; the player has access to the entire house at once and is free to explore it as they please. As you do this, the game dynamically generates scares in order to ensure that no two games play the same way twice. Very little in this game is scripted. Whether or not it is actually scary is purely up to you, the player. | ||

I Spy Mystery | Black Hammer Productions, Inc. / Scholastic, Inc. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
In this edition of the popular series, elements from earlier I Spy games have been re-combined into 13 new mysteries, each one comprised of 3 - 6 I Spy riddle pictures, and culminating in a final mystery to solve. Solving each final mystery generally rewards the player with an extra animation. The player is presented with a messy desktop scattered with 13 folders. Each folder is labelled with a title, and clicking on a folder will open it up to reveal a set of photographs depicting parts of scenes. Clicking a photograph takes the player to the picture page. Gameplay follows the pattern set by previous I Spy games; the player reads or listens to a rhyming list of items on the picture page, then uses the mouse to click on the items hidden in the picture A headphone icon on the bottom left causes the riddle to be read aloud again; an arrow on the bottom right takes the player back to the previous screen, and a question mark on the top right lets the player hear instructions. As in earlier games, some of the pictures are personalized with the player's name hidden among the items. Most, if not all of the pictures have been recycled from older I Spy games, although some of them have had things added or subtracted to create extra clues for the final mysteries. The game is recommended for ages 6 - 10, and exercises the player's skills in problem solving, logic & reasoning, reading, rhyming, following directions, and visual memory & discrimination. | ||

|
Little Knytt is playing outside when he is suddenly abducted by a UFO. It collides with a meteorite and crash lands on an unknown planet. In this freeware platformer, Knytt has to explore the world and collect items needed to repair the ship. There are many creatures, items and events in the background, but most of them cannot be interacted with. Knytt can jump, wall jump and climb straight walls, with no means of attack. An additional key shows a shining beam of light directed to a nearby item and there is another one to show the items collected so far. The entire game is a single level with different backgrounds for each screen, from underground depths to platform jumping in the clouds. Each screen has tiny details such as small creatures, a building, lights or plants. There are a few creatures that can be dangerous and when nearby Knytt will glow red. White tiles can be used to save progress. The general gameplay focuses on platform and jumping puzzles, while keeping a sense of navigation for the large game world. There are a few secrets and unlockables in the game, certain locations where Knytt can walk through walls and two hidden power-ups that increase jumping height and speed. Music and sound effects conjure an eerie ambiance, and the general atmosphere reminds of Seiklus and Fumito Ueda's game design. | ||

He is stamping out any resistance to his "peaceful utopia" - and the player's goal is to save as many people from his deceit as possible. In multiplayer, you have the option of controlling the Global Community Peacekeepers - the antichrist's army. | ||

---|---|---|---|
|
With a comical take on the Star Wars Trilogy that revolutionized pop culture forever (Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI Return of the Jedi), this follows the Rebel Alliance's battle to dismantle the Galactic Empire and rebuild a galaxy in pieces. From Darth Vader's pursuit of Princess Leia aboard her Blockade Runner to a showdown on the reconstructed Death Star, the game includes even more of the family-friendly LEGO action, puzzles and humor that earned the original LEGO Star Wars such popularity and acclaim. For the first time ever, characters can get in and out of vehicles (landspeeders, AT-STs, speeder bikes and more), as well as ride creatures (from the banthas of desert Tatooine to the tauntauns of frigid Hoth). You can also mix and match the body parts of more than 50 playable characters to create one of millions of possible LEGO Star Wars heroes. And a game save from the first LEGO Star Wars can unlock another 50-plus additional characters for Free Play. Other exciting additions include free-roaming vehicle levels that are no longer on rails, the ability to switch ships at will in Free Play, cool new character-specific attacks and maneuvers, playable mini-kit vehicles, an optional adaptive difficulty mode and more. Character-specific attacks include Chewbacca pulling enemies' arms out of their sockets, Vader's Force choke, Leia's "slap" melee attack and many more. Tongue-in-cheek humor is used in comical reinterpretations of classic Star Wars scenes and elements. Solve a greater variety of puzzles that encourage creative thinking through the use of teamwork and unique building situations. Cooperative gameplay encourages teamwork in a fun way and features a revamped camera for an optimal gameplay experience. | ||

Lord of the Rings, The: The Battle for Middle-Earth II | Electronic Arts Los Angeles / Electronic Arts, Inc. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
A sequel to the bestselling real-time strategy based on the very popular Lord of the Rings book trilogy and its cinematic adaptation. This time the action takes place in the northern areas of Middle-Earth where combined forces of humans, elves and dwarves face the army of evil Sauron represented by orcs of Mordor and Isengard. Players can play 15 scenarios per each side of the conflict. The second installment in the series uses the mechanics from the original game while introducing many improvements. It is now possible for players to create their own heroes and improve his skills during the game. Lists of available units, weapons and spells were increased and the fights now take place not only on land, but on sea as well. Thanks to the improved SAGE engine, graphics of the game were enhanced, as were the looks and number of units appearing simultaneously on the screen. It follows the lesser known story of the War of the North, which took place at the same time as the trilogy. EA makes use of Tolkien's other works, giving players with nearly all of the author's mythos. In this game, the Good and Evil sides have been divided into races: you can now control Elves, Dwarves and Men of West (on the Good side) and Isengard, Mordor and the Goblins (on the Evil side) independently. Still of vital importance are the heroes. The game also allows you to make your own custom hero units - including role, appearance and powers. New to Battle for Middle Earth II are naval units and naval combat.

Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure | Collective, The / Atari Europe S.A.S.U. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Contents Under Pressure is an action adventure that combines stealth and combat, as you guide urban graffiti artist Trane to fame. In the oppressed city of New Radius, you need to establish your name as an artist by laying down tags, burners and full pieces, but rival crews and law enforcement (Civil Conduct Keepers) are always on your tail. You will also uncover a conspiracy that plagues the city. The game is story-driven with linear level progression. Most missions have platform elements and require you to lay art, varying from tags and stickers to complex pieces with full color, lettering and characters, on often difficult to reach surfaces. As it is not a friendly environment, Trane can deliver a host of punch and kick combos, use grabs, humiliate other artists, and interact with the surroundings. Your art arsenal includes markers, brushes, cans and rollers. All available pieces are kept in your black book, and new styles are unlocked while playing. The title refers to working your way up the scene, as well as the "Get In, Get Up, and Get Out" principle - you need to gain access to restricted areas, get up on tall objects where your work can be seen, and get out afterwards without being caught. Good spots can be tracked using Intuition, and appear as coloured clouds. The game is conceived by clothing impresario Marc Ecko, founder of the suburban designer label Ecko and is intended to pay tribute to graffiti culture and its history. Artists such as Cope2, Futura and Seen contributed art to the game. | ||

Merry Gear Solid: Secret Santa | Insignificant Studios | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|

Created for the Daily Click grid-based X-mas game competition, this is a humourous freeware holiday take on the Metal Gear series. With numerous jabs at the original games, the player controls Saint Nick, code name Solid Santa, to deliver presents to the children. In wake of the 9/11 attacks, military surveillance crafts are circling the skies and a soaring sleigh will be branded a national threat, therefore Solid Santa has to find an alternative way to get the task done. Shown through a top-down perspective, Solid Santa has to infiltrate a building and make it to the christmas tree on the tenth floor, while avoiding five-year-olds. He is not allowed to throw coal at the kids to take them out, so alternative means need to be used. During the levels, you are contacted by Major Tim and the anonymous Santa's Little Helper who explain the sneak tactics. You can knock on walls to draw the kids' attention, turn televisions on from a distance (warning: low attention span!), disguise yourself as a present, blind them with a digital camera, or take them out with a nerf gun. As you progress, more items need to be used in a single area and speed becomes of the essence. Other difficulties include alarm systems and coal that leaves footsteps behind. The enemies AI is based on sight and hearing. When caught, Solid Santa has to restart the level. The game comes with Christmas music on endless repeat, and voice-acting for the different characters. | ||

New Satan Sam, The | James Whitehead | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|

This is a remake of a platformer made in 2002. Sam has awoken into a strange land, his last memory being an attack on his village. Sam must venture into a strange world overtaken by an army of strange creatures to discover the truth about his home land and himself. You simply have to clear a level, usually no bigger than 4 screens, of enemies and find a path to the exit. Some levels have timers, some have switches, some need special items to reach the end. There will be plenty of puzzles too, some that span a few levels. The gameplay is quite frantic. Sam can move quite fast and has a bunch of moves which can send him flying all over the level. In that way Sam is quite an acrobatic platformer. Hes a little like Kirby too, in that Kirby can fly anywhere in a level so levels have a sort of overhead 'cave' like feel to them. Sam has moves which can send him upwards too. Super Satan Sam is the same as The New Satan Sam but with a higher quality soundtrack and includes a guide. Featuring 10 worlds, 127 levels, loads of enemies, weapons, 14 bosses, and all that for grand 2D adventure. | ||

ParaWorld | Spieleentwicklungskombinat GmbH / Aspyr Media, Inc. | [top] | |

A theory says that there are infinite parallel realities. In one reality for instance, the dinosaurs never died. At the beginning of the 19th century, a group of scientists, under the rule of Jarvis Babbit known as SEAS, finds a way to locate and go through the doors between those realities and they discover the reality of ParaWorld. The scientists find out that this world has different laws of nature, one of them prevents the scientists from aging. Of course they use their knowledge of newer and better technology to take control over the primitive human society in ParaWorld that lives in harmony with the dinosaurs and they use it to their advantage. Three young scientists named Anthony Cole, Stina Holmlund and Béla András Benedek then discover what the SEAS does and so the SEAS lures them to ParaWorld in order to silence them. The three friends now not only have to save their lives but free ParaWorld from the SEAS as well. This is a real-time strategy game like Age of Empires but with a few tweaks. The main difference is the Army-Builder and the Army-Controller. Before you start a skirmish or multiplayer-game, you can build your army out of the available units. You have limited resources and limited space to do that and the better the unit, the higher the cost and the space it takes up - e.g. you can only have one level-5 unit - the most powerful in the game. During gameplay, you always see every unit you have in the Army-Controller, sorted by rank and what they are doing. Of course you can also build and upgrade your units inside the game with three different resources but you are still limited by the Army-Controller. In the campaign mode you play three different nations: The Northfolk, the Desertriders and the Dragon-Clan. They need to defeat the SEAS and the barbarians in five different zones of ParaWorld: the Northland, the Savannah, the Jungle, the Icedesert and the Valley of Ashes. If you grow tired of the AI, you can also switch to the multiplayer mode in which you can go against up to 8 players. Besides Deathmatch and Domination in which the players need to control specific areas of a map in order to win, there is also a mode called Defender where one player fights against all others. He needs to survive a predefined time-frame. To help him in this task, the single player has access to more resources and starts with a partly working base at the beginning of the match. | ||

As the first game based on the movie was actually Sea Dogs 2 slapped with the title of the popular movie, this actually based on the story of The Curse of the Black Pearl. It features a blend of fast-paced action and adventure that captures the entertaining characters, settings, and spirit of the film. Piracy, smuggling, buried treasure (not to mention kidnapping, sword fighting looting, pilfering, and other acts of villainy)...what's not to love about Captain Jack Sparrow? Jack Sparrow is the ultimate video game character - with his cocky swagger and his offbeat personality - and players will be able to experience his adventures first hand in this exciting action game. Gamers will slash and hack their way through a dozen locations, with fully interactive levels and varied gameplay. Action will take place in a variety of lush, immersive settings, including burning buildings, wrecked ships, and misty moonlit caves. The gameplay experience will be thoroughly engrossing, as one minute you are fighting hordes of your enemies, while the next you're evading capture by the Royal Navy. You learn new moves and combos as the game progresses, allowing even more spectacular, and deadly attacks during combat. There's co-op multiplayer – take on the challenge with a friend and play side-by-side as Jack Sparrow and Will Turner. Live the past – did Jack really sack Nassau Port without firing a shot, or ride away from a deserted isle on the backs of sea turtles? Now you'll find out, first hand. Throughout your adventure you'll be rewarded with new swords that allow you to unlock more advanced combos. There's hidden passages, special coins, and other secrets awaiting in each level for the player to discover and reveal. The action isn't limited to swinging your sword, as you'll need to use your head to avoid detection, or dangerous traps. | ||

Princess Maker 4 [J] | GeneX | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is still very similar in terms of features to the other games. There is more choice in the control of her diet, and in fact a little less statistics to go around. The option of choosing to talk to the player's daughter still exists with the added benefit of her talking without the player having to mention a subject to talk about. The game has become very heavily event based, with many of the endings dependent on completing several events. It adds a visual novel aspect to the game that wasn't there before. There are only 32 endings available for this game, with some endings containing two CGs. This time, character illustrations were handled by Tenhiro Naoto, the creator of Sister Princess. Structurally, Princess Maker 4 draws much inspiration from Princess Maker 2, although an adventure mode does not exist anymore. As with PM3, full voiceovers have been recorded, including contributions from famous voice actors like Sakurai Takahiro (Prince Sharul/Charles). PM4 is highly drama-oriented. Throughout the game, there are various event scenes that offer clues about your daughter's past, not to mention the war between humans and non-humans and her demonic roots. This is probably what differentiates it the most from previous PM games. Another change is that most of the vice-related jobs are less "adult-oriented" as it is impossible for the daughter to receive more sinful jobs such as Cabaret Dancing or as an assassin. The story begins when the player, a soldier, falls in love with a mysterious woman. However, she disappears, only to be found by him a few years later. She hands him the child, whose default name is Patricia, along with Cube the butler, and so his quest to fatherhood begins. | ||

As the game progresses, Rayman will earn various items with which he can customize both his own appearance as well as his jail cell, in order to make it increasingly luxurious. It is also where the game's many unlockables and secrets can be acessed. The Rabbids are the common enemy in this game. Their weaponry varies from highly technological (rabbit-eared spaceships equipped with lasers) to the inane (toilet plungers, toilet brushes or draining ladles). The Rabbid Emperor is to be Rayman's arch nemesis in this game. He strongly resembles Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars. | ||

Santa Ride! 2 | Invictus Games Ltd. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This Christmas Eve you have to help Santa collect gifts scattered on the snow in the small town of Invictus Ville. In addition to collecting, they need to be delivered to all the children in person (there are 25 of them in the town). The word "succeed" is not used here by chance. No, no, a primitive countdown timer, like in the first part of Santa Ride!, will not be here. Everything is much more serious ... If your Santa does not keep up with delivering gifts that boys and girls are looking forward to with great impatience, then the most irreparable thing that can happen in a Christmas game will happen - children will forever lose "faith in Santa." Therefore, follow the red indicator on the left side of the screen, where it says “Faith in Santa” vertically. The red arrow in the center of the screen at the bottom and the number below it will reliably show the direction to the house and the number of children living in it who are currently expecting a gift. For delivery, you need to drive on a sleigh near the house and press the "Space" key - the "homing" colored box will fly straight into the chimney. Each timely delivered gift significantly increases the value of the "faith in Santa" indicator. Camera views, as in the first part, are implemented here from a variety of angles (on the keys F1, F2, F3 ...). Sleigh control is at the best, you can already confidently say “simulator” level. Pickup bonuses improve the sleigh's handling (golden horseshoe) and speed (carrot) for a short time. The sleigh is harnessed by six funny deer, which, just like in the first part, comically run only on two hind legs. Gifts can only be collected in a sleigh no more than 10 - apparently, this implies a significant limitation on the carrying capacity of Santa's vehicle. By the way, a dwarf assistant is now sitting next to him. When Santa distributes gifts to all 25 children in the town, he will finally be able to fly home to Lapland, where he will prepare for next Christmas so that not a single child is left without a gift. | ||

You can fill up your air at various points on the course, but to race well you'll have to use another means of replenishment: performing tricks with your board. You'll also want to make use of turbulence from racers who are in front of you. | ||

It's left to the player to figure out that Spud can stand on clouds. A revamped commercial game version was released in 2013 -

As they seek to recover the stolen scrolls, their adventures will lead them across the ancient lands of Crete, Epheus and Rome to unravel the mystery of the stolen letters and spreading the Christian message to those they encounter along the way — from drunken pagans and Roman soldiers, to grieving widows and angry Pharisees.

Gamers will be able to toggle between the characters of Timothy and Titus, utilizing the power of Faith, Hope, Love, Prayer, the Gospel, Healing and more. Each of the chararacters have different, complementary strengths - learn new Christian abilities, and fast paced action moves to keep them out of danger and to find the missing scrolls through 4 different levels. | ||

Within a Deep Forest is a freeware 2D platform game for Windows featuring challenging gameplay, beautiful music, an evil doctor, and a deep forest. Dr. Cliché has built two bombs to turn the entire world to ice. The first one failed, but now the clock is ticking. Within a Deep Forest is a platformer where the players guides a ball. There are two main areas, the Harara Mountains, a practice area, and Pinewood Heights where the real game takes place. The ball is able to bounce, with additional keys to control movement, steady the ball and an option to commit suicide. Pinewood Heights consists of different sublevels that have the player unlock up to 10 different ball types, each with different abilities. Some can break through barriers, others shatter when colliding or are resistant to cold, a range of balls provides an increased jump height, and there is even an option to fly. Next to pixel-perfect timing and jumping, the choice of ball, often in the same level, is crucial to solve the many puzzles. Focus is on the platform aspect, with only a small amount of enemies and no means of attack. The ball types can not be selected at will, but only at save points after dying or when entering a new area. The levels have different themes and are all drawn in pixel art, with ambient music to go along. There are 2 difficulty levels, an unlockable speedrun mode with online high scores (1.1.2 or earlier) and 3 secret levels (third one added in a later update). | ||

Curious George | Namco Hometek | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
For more than 60 years, children and adults alike have followed the tales of a little monkey named George – known for his fun-loving nature and insatiable taste for curiosity. The story begins as The Man With the Yellow Hat travels to the jungle in search of an artifact exotic enough to save the museum where he works. Naturally, George follows him back to the big city and embarks on a series of mis-adventures. Players control George as he runs, jumps, climbs and swings his way around Africa, the museum, The Man With the Yellow Hat's apartment and more – solving puzzles and interacting with new friends from the movie. Jumping between platforms and swinging from vines and chains is quite easy. In keeping with the game's preteen target audience, it's impossible to swing in anything but the right direction. And, when jumping from said vine, you'll find that George's double-jump ability is much more powerful than it really needs to be. The only other controls that you'll really need to concern yourself with are the crouch button, which can be used to move stealthily and to crawl through air vents, and the interact button, which can be used anytime that George gets close to an object that he's curious about - as indicated by a question mark that appears above his head. When you interact with these objects, which include everything from bees' nests and bushes to toilets and televisions, you'll be awarded a number of "curious points" that can be spent on unlocking new outfits for George, movie clips, production art, and four different minigames titled Boat Deck Boogie, Bubble Trouble, Firefly Follies, and Balloon Break. | ||

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

The hospital I know it too is a project financed by the Noi per Loro association, with the contribution of the Cariparma Foundation, carried out in the pediatric wards of the Maggiore in collaboration with the hospital school and preschools in Parma and its province. The prevention of psychological suffering and the state of anguish, linked to the widespread image of the hospital as a place of fear and suffering, is the foundation of the initiative which involved in two phases (2004/2005 and 2008/2009) over 3,400 children and families enrolled in preschools in Parma and its province. During the hours of school attendance, in a condition of psycho-physical well-being, the children together with the volunteers started a serene reflection on the themes of "illness" and "hospital". A similar path was addressed to teachers and parents. To prevent the fear that children feel during hospitalization, the fable Tilly was written, a special butterfly, used by teachers to encourage reflection and discussion with children. The works produced in the classrooms (drawings, written thoughts and sets) are collected in the traveling exhibition “Children tell”. Families were also distributed a booklet with useful information for a possible hospitalization, designed to support the child and his family in dealing with awareness of any hospitalization experience. The project included meetings with health professionals, guided visits to the hospital, traveling exhibitions and a seminar, as well as the creation of the CD Let's play with Tilly, a playful step-by-step path to accompany the child to discover the hospital. The activities involved and sensitized a wide section of the community, helping to promote the image of the hospital as a serene place of care and healing. | ||

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

A new adventure with Max, the little pig from "Just Around the Corner". Children from the age of four not only have a lot of fun, but also get to know the various modes of transport. Because they help Max to bring his friend, the lighthouse keeper Benni Blinker, a new light bulb for the broken lighthouse light. Benni Blinker is ill and therefore can not drive to town to get the pear. Max likes to help and also wants to buy his friend fruit, flowers and a newspaper. Well, and for himself he would like to have the superhound book and something to eat, and the robotic dog-lamp, and, and, and ... But wait: the ten dog-thaler Uncle Pong gave him is not enough for everything. In addition, the tickets must be bought from it. And so children not only learn how bus, train and ship work, what a train station looks like and how to buy a ticket, but also how money is used. The graphically elaborate CD-Rom is accompanied by smart songs that tell of how exciting traveling by bus and train can be. Numerous clicks, which are hidden everywhere in the lovingly designed pictures, make the kids a lot of fun. Behind them are surprising gags and little stories. Another trick is the search for six characters that Max would like to find so much. For with this he wants to try out Uncle Pong's new game with Benni Blinker when he arrives at the lighthouse. When Max has found all the characters and does the shopping for Benni, the drive to the lighthouse turns out to be a dangerous undertaking. Only those who properly steer their boat around the cliffs will reach the lighthouse at the end. High time, because it is already dark. Quickly the lamp is repaired and the lighthouse shines brightly. Now Max and Benni can sit down and try the game of Uncle Pong - a tricky dice game, which is about luck and skill. "Max drives bus, train and ship" is playable in German and English. Even in the middle of the game, the language can be changed. This promotes the first foreign language contact in a fun way. | ||

Learn more about reading and writing in Danish with Pixeline. Learning through play - the optimal way to learn. The target group is the smaller school children from ages of 6 years upwards. The plot itself is as surreal as we are used to, from many other children's games; Pixeline is flying down in the lettering. The star wizard Alfabeticus wants to remedy the young lady's distress, but of course this is not free. In other words, you have to help the good stargazer to collect the forest's alphabet animals, and then the runners start in four small mini-games. In battle against the alphabet - In this scene, Pixeline must fight and collect alphabet animals. The tasks vary according to the severity. At the easy end, the beginning letter must be given, and in a bit more difficult it is about bending words, that is, guessing if it is called "all animals", "all animals", etc. Little brother Livingstone - Smaller siblings are, as many know, a bother at the level of editors shortly before the deadline (shut up and write faster, Bo! -Red.). Little brother Livingstone is unfortunately no exception. He would like to sell alphabet animals to Pixeline, and he is well paid in precious stones and herbs (collected in other mini-games). In addition, he cheats, for even after receiving payment, Pixeline must guess a letter before the animal is in the house (or should it be said stall). Bongo Bear - At Bongo Bjørn you can mysteriously and in the wild be deserved herbs if you can swallow a word's syllables in real order. Diamond Mine - In the mine, you must first sharpen jewels from the rock pieces, then put them together to form a simple word, for example. "Ged" or "Foot". The assignments are excellent and very educationally knitted together. The graphics are beautiful and the voice play is on the better end. But you might have wanted a bit more different tasks to extend the game's lifespan. A fit feature is the hidden parent menu. Here you can count the progress of the poems in numbers and graphs among other features. | ||

Da Capo II (〜ダ・カーポII〜 Da Kāpo II?, commonly abbreviated as D.C. II) is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by Circus which was first released on May 26, 2006 for Windows computers. It is a part of the ongoing Da Capo series of games by Circus, and is the direct sequel to Circus' previous title Da Capo released in 2002. The story takes place on the same island as Da Capo (Hatsunejima), 53 years after the original game's story. The protagonist, Yoshiyuki Sakurai, was born when Sakura Yoshino, weary of being alone for so long, wished upon a prototype artificial wish-granting magical sakura tree for a family. Years later, though, the tree starts malfunctioning, granting all wishes, regardless of how impure. Sakura and Otome Asakura at first try to handle all the problems caused by it, but the situation gradually worsens and they have to choose whether or not to save Hatsunejima—the island in Japan where the story takes place—by deactivating the tree which would erase Yoshiyuki's existence in the process. Sakura makes a last-ditch effort to stop the tree by entering it directly, but fails. Yoshiyuki eventually manages to persuade Otome to choose the island over him, and she has the tree wither, revoking all the granted wishes, including Sakura's. | ||

Ef: A Fairy Tale of the Two (stylized as ef - a fairy tale of the two.) is a two-part Japanese adult visual novel series by Minori for Windows PCs. The first game in the series, Ef: The First Tale, was released on December 22, 2006, and the second game, Ef: The Latter Tale, was released on May 30, 2008. The first part is titled Ef: The First Tale and primarily consists of the story of Hiro Hirono, Miyako Miyamura, Kyosuke Tsutsumi, Kei Shindo, and Yuko Amamiya. It consists of a prologue and two main chapters with Miyako as the focus for the first chapter, and Kei for the second. This is followed by the second part of the story, Ef: The Latter Tale, which primarily deals with the story of Renji Aso, Chihiro Shindo, Shuichi Kuze, Mizuki Hayama, and Yu Himura. The second part consists of two more main chapters and an ending chapter, with Chihiro as the focus for the third chapter, and Mizuki for the fourth. Bringing the two parts together forms the all-encompassing Ef: A Fairy Tale of the Two. The gameplay requires little interaction from the player as most of the duration of the game is spent simply reading the text that appears on the screen which represents either dialogue between the various characters or the inner thoughts of the protagonist. The player has a chance to assume the role of four protagonists, two in each Ef: The First Tale and Ef: The Latter Tale. Each protagonist is paired with a heroine, and each scenario in the original PC versions of the visual novels includes scenes with sexual content. | ||

Really? Really! [J] | Navel / MangaGamer | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Really? Really! is the third eroge visual novel in the Shuffle! series created by Navel for Microsoft Windows. It is a continuation of Kaede's path from the first Shuffle! visual novel, and has a linear plot. In Really? Really!, Kaede has lost her memories and throughout the game the player must fix them. Using keywords acquired from viewing various events in Kaede's memories, the player must fix mistakes in Kaede's past memories. The player starts at a "crossroad" where different doors are available. By going through the events beyond the doors and correcting memories with the keywords earned on the way, the player receives a "memory" which he can "liberate" by watching. Like stated at the picture, the game has a lot of similarities to Ace Attorney series. For example, the first mistake that occurs is that Kaede says that Midoriba Itsuki is a girl (he is actually a boy). By using the 'Really Attack', the player can select the 'Midoriba Itsuki' keyword, which causes Rin to say "OBJECTION!" which then causes the scene to shatter and replay correctly. The player is allowed five errors per day to get the memories corrected. In order to get the CG for the scene, the player must have a 100% completion. If the player makes five errors in a day, the game ends. Upon completion of all the events of a day, the player is able to play back these memories from Kaede's point of view, providing interesting insights into her inner thoughts. This is the only time when Rin's lines are voiced. Other characters may also comment from time to time during these sequences (for example, after a H-scene that did not actually take place or during the time when Kaede falsely accused Rin of killing her mother up to the point when she finally finds out the truth) or even alter them (Mayumi enlarging her breast size multiple times and getting caught, providing comic relief). | ||

Shiny Days / Summer Days | 0verflow / JAST USA | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|

Summer Days is an alternate universe prequel to the game School Days, set in the summer holidays just prior to the timeline of School Days. All the original characters are present, except it assumes that they all first meet during the summer holidays as opposed to during the first year of school. Although Kotonoha and Sekai, the heroines of the first game, are both present, the main heroine is Setsuna. The game retains the anime-like presentation familiar to the franchise, requiring little interaction from users, engaging players through a nonlinear plot they are given opportunities to change, and concluding with an ending specific to the choices made during play. It was almost universally panned for its heavily bugged state that prompted a disorganized release of large, frustrating patches and an eventual recall. On August 26, 2011, sale of Summer Days was discontinued. Instead a remake was released on April 27, 2012 titled Shiny Days. It was eventually released in English in 2015. | ||

A manga titled Snow: Pure White based on the visual novel was serialized in Comptiq between the September and December 2003 issues. Five light novels and several comic anthologies were also released, as were audio dramas. The story of Snow starts when the main protagonist Izumo Kanata visits a small village called Ryujinmura (village of the dragon god) to help his cousin Tsugumi manage a local hotel with hot springs. In the village there is an old legend: In ancient times, the village is protected by the dragon goddess. However, one day the dragon goddesses fell in love with a human, which is strictly forbidden, and this incident finally caused the village to be always covered by snow after that. The game then tells the daily life of the protagonist in the village, and finally links the story to the legend of dragon goddess. | ||

The blackest of all black sheep is on a world tour. With giant leaps he conquered continent after continent and, quite incidentally, heart for heart. Because anyone who knows our woolly Filou knows that even in the most beautiful spot on earth he can only think of one thing: the most beautiful thing in the world. Sven follows his eternal mission through 30 levels. And as before, the following applies: So many women, so little time... So he practices Zen in accord with the geishas of Asia, flirts the island beauties of the Caribbean or fights his way through woolly jungles without breathing space. But even in his home country he meets dogged opponents of free love who can only be eliminated with great skill. But basically: The Message is Love. Not just for the countless sheep ladies, with their so different advantages (and preferences). No, Sven's big heart also beats for his feathered friends in need, whom he selflessly helps out of a jam every now and then. With so much kindness, he'll definitely go to heaven. Features: 30 jump & run levels full of love and challenging puzzles; 5 atmospheric game worlds with new, huge level sets; many new opponents and longing sheep ladies of all kinds; spectacular new love stunts; cool soundtrack; Lots of bonus material (trailer, flip book, Sven-Starschnitt, screensaver, desktop motifs). | ||

Taimanin Asagi 2 / Anti-Demon Ninja Asagi 2 [J] | Black Lilith / Lilith Soft | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
One year has passed since the Chaos Arena was destroyed. Asagi and Sakura were presently on an abandoned street on a man-made island that floated on top of Tokyo Bay. It was an enormous box-shaped island built by the government and referred to as "Tokyo Kingdom". There was hope that it would become a second city center floating at sea, but it had failed to attract businesses. The only way of getting to and from the island was through Honshu Island over the 10 kilometer Tokyo Kingdom bridge. Unfortunately, this narrow route was the means in which the inhabitants of hell found their way onto the island, luring anarchists, criminals, and even illegal immigrants there, transforming the streets of the sea bound city into a world-renowned haven for danger. However abandoned the streets were, order did exist in such a place despite it being a breeding place of crime. There was a business district at the heart as well as one of Asia's greatest prostitute grottoes. Whether or not it was only the strong who survived, the viability of living there required one not to be careless in making friends with the strong. An English fan-made translation patch came out in 2009. | ||

Wanko to Kuraso | Ivory | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|

This Japanese eroge visual novel game follows the life of Yuuichi, a college student, over several months. He teaches a cram school and lives alone. He was an orphan when young, and was adopted by an escort. He spent many years growing up in brothels, and eventually entered the industry himself. The experiences he had when maturing resulted in him becoming cold and cynical towards the themes of love and attachment. It is set in Japan, in a world parallel to reality, with the exception being that there exist a variety of pets known as Anthropoid animals. These pets include cats, dogs and birds, though birds never make appearances in the game. They have human form and show some intelligence, though still retain much of their animal instincts, most notably the urge to mate during the Spring and Fall seasons. The game has two routes, each focusing primarily on one or two characters: The Nadeshiko route, and the Risa route. Both routes, however, included development of other characters. The Nadeshiko route revolves around the owner of a nearby pet-store, Nadeshiko, and her pet anthropoid dog, Kotarou. This route was translated before the Risa route, despite the lower popularity of Nadeshiko, possibly because of the greater amount of ero-scenes in her route.[1] Yuuichi eventually ends up in a relationship with Nadeshiko, but is unable to ultimately commit. The Risa route revolves more primarily around Risa, Mikan and Silvie, showing more character development, most notably with Risa. An English version was released in 2008. | ||

This is an adult-oriented bishoujo adventure game and fourth in the X-Change series but plot and storyline are entirely different and have no connection at all. The US Peach Princess version features the original 2004 game Japanese voices along with English translation. Kaoru Sakurazuka is a normal Japanese young man, not unique in the least except for his oddly feminine facial features, which drive him crazy. His name doesn't thrill him either - Kaoru is a common name for both girls and boys. He tries to make up for looking like a girl by wearing an extra coating of male bravado wherever he goes. He enjoys his time at school with his friends Touya and Renji. Lately, Kaoru has been feeling under the weather, and getting dizzy spells. He goes to the school nurse -- who's also famous for inventing new concoctions in the name of science -- and accidentally drinks a vial marked "experimental medicine." Bad move, Kaoru-kun! The next day, Kaoru is shocked to wake up to find that he's been transformed into a girl! While he desperately tries to find a way to return to normal, he's forced to spend his days in his new female body. Kaoru is surprised at the changes in his environment now that he's a girl. Everywhere he goes, he's the center of attention, and it seems that everyone is taking an interest in him now. What's more, Kaoru's body has an amazing secret that he has yet to discover. What strange adventures are in store for Kaoru in his new body? | ||

Avernum IV | Spiderweb Software | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Avernum 4 has you in charge of a 4-character party, whose task is to discover why your homeland of Avernum has been undergoing a series of unnatural disasters. The game uses a modified version of the Geneforge engine, meaning that its interface is entirely different from the previous Avernum games. Although the character pictures are the same (the ones that are displayed in the inventory screen), the graphics used for the characters in the game are different. This also applies to the graphics used for the enemies as well. The game is played using the mouse and keyboard, with the former serving as the main means of control, and the latter providing shortcut keys. Thus movement, object interaction, combat, and dialogue is controlled via the mouse, although the game can be configured so that the keyboard can be used for movement as well. Combat is a standard, turn-based affair. Each character has a finite number of action points that are spent either in melee/ranged attacks, movement, or spell casting. | ||

Aveyond 1: Rhen's Quest | Amaranth Games, LLC | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|

Born a farmer's daughter, then captured into slavery Aveyond follows the adventures of Rhen, a young girl with potentially incredible magical powers. Rhen will travel to a mysterious magic school and train to build up her Sword Singer powers so that she may confront the prophecies of an evil demon who wishes to enslave her world and also so that she may finally return home. Aveyond is a RPG similar in play style and appearance to 16-bit games. Multitudes of characters to interact with, a plethora of monsters and lots of side-quests litter the landscape of Aveyond. Even though the fighting is turn-based when actually in combat, the player has the ability to avoid prowling enemies before getting into a situation. Your character will level up and can even buy a house to live in, form parties to take on quests as a group. The game was created using RPG Maker XP. The original version of the game ships with Midi music; however, players can replace these with a downloadable high-quality live version. | ||

Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach | Turbine, Inc. / Atari Inc. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
The classic tabletop fantasy game series is brought to a subscription-based community MMORPG. Set in the Eberron campaign created in 2004, the game launches with five playable races and the following nine classes: barbarian, bard, cleric, fighter, paladin, ranger, rogue, sorcerer, and wizard. As in most online role-playing games, players begin by customizing their character's name, gender, and basic appearance before entering a tutorial quest designed to familiarize them with the controls, interface, and style of play. Unlike its genre contemporaries, such as World of WarCraft, this does not feature large, persistent areas where thousands of players can freely roam and fight. The design focuses instead on instanced dungeons for small bands of adventurers, each accessed from a tavern or a small hub area. In true D&D fashion, a party will need to work together to disarm traps, solve puzzles, negotiate with characters, or fight a number of monsters. An off-screen Dungeon Master will describe new areas in detail, while combat takes an action-oriented approach. Players are free to jump, swim, climb, attack, block, and perform evasive tumbles in real time. Potions, spells, and feats are accessed through icon-based toolbars, but magic users have a limited number of points to cast spells. To replenish lost health and spell points, party members must locate the one rest shrine located within each dungeon. Another distinguishing feature is how the game handles experience. Experience points are not earned by killing creatures, but rather for solving quests, allowing players some freedom in how they complete objectives. For its initial release, the game has a level cap of ten and carries a monthly fee of $14.95. The game also includes native support for voice communication via microphone, a first for the genre. Choose from five playable races and nine classes. Both multi-classes and prestige classes are supported for greater character customization. Explore a variety of instanced dungeons, including ruins, crypts, deserted islands, ships, and more. | ||

Meanwhile, Dabu has composed a few musical tracks, to match the seasons, and some other audio bits and pieces. Command your dwarves as they search for wealth in their generated mountain. Your dwarves will need a steady supply of food and beer, but they’ll also need your guidance in surviving attacks from hostile civilizations, the wilderness, or even the dead.

Geneforge 4: Rebellion | Spiderweb Software | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|

This is the fourth installment in the shareware Geneforge series by Spiderweb Software. Geneforge 4 is an isometric RPG with turn-based combat set in a dark and unorthodox setting that combines fantasy with unusual elements such as advanced genetic engineering. The world is torn apart by a long-lasting civil war between an elite caste that previously held monopoly on creating artificial life, and a combined group of persecuted ordinary humans, genetically altered humans, and a variety of artificial creatures gone independent. Though the protagonist starts out as a rebel selected for genetic mutation using secret and risky rebel techniques, he is not restricted to only one side of the conflict. The player may be joined by a several NPCs that would contribute to the plot and comment on situations, however, he is usually supplemented by beasts of his own creation that he can control. If his abilities are sufficient, the player may choose from a selection of fifteen unique and thirty modified creatures, each of which can gain experience and advance on its own. Geneforge 4 features a large, freely explorable world with a location system reminiscent of that in the first Baldur's Gate. There is a large number of non-obligatory and hidden locations. A highlight of the game are its extensive dialogues with a wide variety of choices, as well as detailed descriptions of locations and special encounters. The plot is frequently praised by fans for its non-linearity, and the lack of emphasis on black-and-white morals. There is a large amount of side-quests, many of which are connected with the class of the protagonist, his abilities, his affiliations, or his behaviour in other encounters. Mutually exclusive quests are frequent. | ||

Guild Wars: Factions | ArenaNet LLC / NCsoft - North America | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is the second chapter in the Guild Wars Universe and both a standalone game and first expansion pack to the base game. Again, it is subscription free. Factions is set in the Japanese touched world Cantha; actually it’s a continent south of Tyria for those who own Prophecies. The story begins with a letter from Master Togo to his old friend Brother Mhenlo, where he explains that a plague is spreading though Cantha and the healers can’t find a way to cure it, so he asks for Mhenlo's help. As a veteran, you already know Mhenlo, so he asks you to help him help the Canthans. If you start a new game, you will begin on an isolated tutorial-like island off the coast of the continental Cantha, and you will experience the story directly from the start. Ultimately, as Cantha is split into two powerful, yet rival, factions – the Luxons and the Kurzicks, you will have to choose a side and battle the other one. Like Prophecies, Factions is a so-called CORPG rather then a MMORPG, which stands for Cooperative Online RPG. This means that the only true MMORPG-like environments are the cities or mission start locations; only there you can meet with hundreds of other players, chat with them, trade with them, or create or join groups. Once you leave the cities into an explorable area or start a mission, your group is on its own in an individual game instance. At the PvE side (Player vs. Environment – basically the RPG part) you can solve a huge amount of quests (you gain experience and later Faction points from them) or participate in a mission (missions are big quests which advance the story). On PvP side, you can now not only play in the various arenas or battle a Guild vs. Guild match, but now some Missions are story-related PvP Missions. This is also the primary way, once you choose your Factions side, to conquer and control cities and open special elite missions for the faction you are allied with. Gameplay wise, as already said, you start in a city, where you create or join a group, either with other players or with NPCs (though you can also play alone, but then you may have difficulty beating the enemy). And while it is called an Online RPG, you can play it without other human players, not just the quests, but also the missions. You can control your character with either the mouse or the keyboard, moving though the instances. Once you have two towns on the world map, you can jump between those towns without walking the way. When creating a character, you have to choose the class and later go dual-class, ultimately allowing 56 class combinations from the 8 classes: Warrior, Ranger, Necromancer, Monk, Elementalist, Mesmer, Assassin (new) and Ritualist (new). When playing a character, you have access to up to 8 skills/spells which you can take with you in an instance, and those can be chosen from 100+ skills per character class (but you have to gain them in the first place of course). There are both Prophecies-Skills (limited number) and Faction-Skills in the game, only those who own both chapters have access to all skills. And since your maximum level is locked at level 20 (and the enemy level is not locked there), you have to carefully plan what classes should be in a group and what skills they use, because particularly if you are in a mission and your group is wiped out, you have to restart it (though while questing, you are revived at the next respawn portal – but with a hit point penalty of up to 60%). | ||

Guild Wars: Nightfall | ArenaNet LLC / NCsoft - North America | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|

In the 3rd installment of the Guild Wars series, you explore the lands of Elona. This land is divided into the three provinces: Istan, Kourna and Vaabi. There is peace between the fractions at the moment, but the fallen God Abaddon prepares his return with the help of his devotees to bring back once again Nightfall over Elona. Besides the whole new land and updated graphics, the game also brings big and small changes not only limited to this game but also for Prophecies and Factions. For instance, it is now possible to save different templates of skills. The biggest changes were made to the AI. You can hire computer-controlled characters to help you on your missions. You can not only give them orders like "stay here" or "go there", there's also a whole new class of AI-helpers called "heroes". They are still controlled by the AI, but you can define them as you wish and completely gear them up as you like. They now also increase in rank on their own. Nightfall adds two new playable classes to the game: Dervish and Paragon. The Paragon likes to fight with a spear and shield from the back of the line. He also supports his teammates with various battle cries. The Dervish on the other hand, loves to get into the pile and fight the enemies with his scythe. He also has the ability to transform himself into an avatar of one of the gods which gives him new skills and abilities. | ||

This action/RPG features over 20 playable characters and more than 140 cameo appearances. Dr. Doom has formed a new Masters of Evil in order to steal Odin's power. They then launch an attack on a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier. Nick Fury sends out a distress call to all available meta-humans. Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man and Wolverine respond and proceed to eliminate Doom's forces.

Players will be able to create teams, and have online and co-operative play, for up to 4 players. In co-operative mode players will have to fight for the most kills in order to get the experience points at the end of the level. Unlike X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse, in which players can only play danger rooms that have been unlocked or single player progress, players can now play through the whole level from start to finish. There will also be special comic book missions, revisiting a moment in a character's past and facing a classic arch rival. Characters will have four skins, which can alter stats of the character, as well as unique controllable powers. Players will fight in mid air, underwater and on the ground, with fully destructable and interactive environments in over 17+ locations, travelling around the Earth and universe back and forth by the end of the game. The game will have alternative endings, affected by the decisions the player(s) make. Use a host of fighting tactics and accessories, including melee combat moves such as grappling, blocking and quick combos, new chargeable Super Hero powers, more environmental objects that can be used as weapons, and unique one and two-handed weapons. In addition to the epic single-player storyline, players can also battle the world's most evil Super Villains alongside friends in both on and offline cooperative story modes. This robust multiplayer component also features a Competitive Mode – where the game keeps track of various in-game stats so players can see how well they stack up against one another – affecting the amount of experience points and how equipment is distributed. A remastered version with higher-quality resolution was released in July/2016 on Steam. | ||

This is a free Fallout post-apocalyptic clone from a Slovak developer group. It was an overall winner of Becherovka Game 2006 game creation competition. In a post-apocalyptic wasteland where mutants run rampant. The graphics are quite good with even facial animations. You must find certain objects as you progress through the environment to achieve certain goals. Becherovka is the most precious source of energy. The player has to find some for his vault to survive. It isn’t the longest nor the most complicated game ever, but the story is nicely presented. The rendered graphics are nice, so is the music and sound effects. Also the RPG system is very nice. It's in a way similar to Quest for Glory and the player has to raise his statistics sometimes to complete a task. | ||

Gradually, you will uncover the game-world and besides improving your skills you will be able also to create your own spells and influence the fairy's persuasion. It is the persuasion that determines whether Agavean ends up as a good or evil fairy and which determines the storyline branching. These branches lead, of course, to different game endings. There's full 3D combat scenes with moving camera that dynamically adjusts to the combat situation. Apart from many weapon-blows and spells it is also possible to use combos and special moves. | ||

---|---|---|---|
|
This was was originally conceived as a Neverwinter Nights premium module, which were official products marketed through BioWare's website and supported by the game's publisher, Atari. Several months before the game's scheduled release, the premium module program was cancelled so it was released for free to everyone. To many, the town of Daggerford is of little consequence. To others, however, it is of immeasurable value. The nearby great cities of Waterdeep and Baldur’s Gate would do well to look over their shoulders at what is brewing in this once sleepy town. Prepare to delve into the dark mysteries surrounding Daggerford. A 25-30 hour classic Dungeons & Dragons role-playing adventure with a strong Baldur's Gate feel and almost 200,000 words of dialogue! Produced by former BioWare Producer, Alan Miranda, who was the Producer on Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.

Regarded once as "Fallout-Lite" (long before the Fallout franchise fell into Bethesda's hands), this is a 3rd-person isometric RPG that was very reminiscent of the "SPECIAL" system used by Fallout 1 & 2. If the Fallout series concerned itself with the 1950s post-apocalyptic future, this game focused on the 1950s extraterrestrial alien conspiracy present. Set in a world where secret government organisations have greater authority than democratically elected ones, you are Agent Max Power, servant of The Majestic Group. This secret organisation has a mission no less than to direct the course of history. It's inspired by Steve Jackson's Fighting Fantasy series of books and classic computer role-playing games of the past, it is part book part computer role playing game. Some decisions are made using text based options while others are made during combat. As Max completes quests and defeats his enemies he will gain experience and improve his skills to boost his chances of success. | ||

Phantasy Star Universe | Sonic Team / SEGA Corporation | [top] | |

This can be considered the sequel to Phantasy Star Online with hack-and-slash RPG gameplay. Once again, there are two components: both offline and online content. In the offline single-player story, the 17-year old Ethan Weber is a military cadet on a mission to save his kidnapped sister from a mysterious force called THE SEED. This events and characters complement the online gameplay. Additionally, there is an offline mode that plays similar to the online mode, with character customization. In the online MMORPG component, players create their character based on four races: Humans, CASTs, Newmans and Beasts, with 3 main classes that can still be changed during gameplay. Once at a high level, there is further specialization with 7 advanced classes. The character's customization includes the clothes, hair, facial features, voice, and body proportions. The game takes place in the Gurhal Star System, with three planets to explore. Players can also team up in squad-based combat and tackle over twenty massive dungeons. The movement options of the previous game have been improved, with enhancements such as strafing. Characters can wield different weapons for each hand and there are player-controlled vehicles. A monthly fee is required to keep playing. The servers of Phantasy Star Universe were shut down on March 31, 2010. Hobbyists have developed private servers, and so the game retains a cult following and can still be played online. | ||

This is a real-time post-apocalyptic RPG. It has been described by the developers as a mixture between Neverwinter Nights and Fallout, on a smaller scale. The game features a non-linear plot, extensive dialogues, a character development system similar to Fallout, with Traits, Skills and Perks, as well as a real time with pause combat system. It uses the same graphical engine as the hack'n'slash game Dawn of Magic. The protagonist is Boar, one of the four imperial troopers cadets who are disguised as convicts and sent to the eponymous prison planet to investigate the intel of of a spaceship being constructed by the prisoners. After the landing pod containing the convicts crashes, the four were scattered all over the planet. The primary objective of the game is to find the remaining three cadets, who join the group as playable characters, find and destroy the shuttle, then leave the planet. The politically incorrect setting of the game, as well as its black humour, are characteristic of Dmitry Puchkov, a Russian celebrity famous for his translation theories, whose only book serves as the basis for the game. Racial segregation, misogyny, homophobia, debauchery, slavery, and cannibalism run rampant on the planet. | ||

Time of Shadows / Dawn of Magic 2 | SkyFallen Entertainment / Kalypso Media USA Inc. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|

Ten years have passed since the immortal wizard Modo tried to destroy the earth to finally be free of his prison. After his plan was successfully foiled by the player character with Modo ending up dead, peace was finally possible. Now Evil once again takes possession of the earth. Legions of Shadows cover the planet with terror and agony. Again it is up to the player to travel through the labyrinths of world, find the reason for the invasion and save the planet from his horrific destiny. As its predecessor Dawn of Magic, the game is an action RPG with a big focus on magic. To that end twelve different schools of magic including fire, water and such with over 100 spells are not only available but can also be combined to bring even more variety. The player can define a primary and a secondary spell for example using the ball of ice as the primary spell with fire control as a secondary. That way both ice and fire damage can be dealt at the same time. Of course many different weapons can also be found and used in melee or ranged combat. The player even has the ability to craft his own or enchant his weapons with runes and rune words. The player can also apply tattoos and change his appearance to gain additional bonuses to talents. To make use of all those possibilities, the player has to choose from one of four different characters at the start of the game and also decide on which alignment (neutral, good and evil) he has. The latter has great influence on how the multiple choice dialogues, some quests as well as the way the ending plays out. As in every RPG the player character earns experience points by completing quests and killing the hordes of enemies ultimately gaining a level up. But contrary to most other RPGs the game features intermediate levels. Each completed level consists of three intermediate levels (e.g. 1, 1+, 1,++, 1+++, 2). Once the player reaches an intermediate level, he gains an talent and a spell point. Additionally, at full levels he gains a skill point to level up his main attributes intelligence, strength and energy. The game features a multiplayer mode with five game modes for up to 16 players. Available are Free for All, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Survival and Market. The latter features no combat at all, Instead the map is populated by traders and trading between players is encouraged. | ||

Titan Quest | Iron Lore Entertainment Ltd. / THQ Inc. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
It is believed that at the dawn of time, there was a great war between the Titans and the Gods. During this war which spanned many centuries, humanity was born and stood beside the Gods. At the war's conclusion the Gods were victorious and the Titans were banished to the great darkness. Now the Titans have escaped and spread their evil over the ancient world of Greece (and beyond). You are a hero who arrives in this time of need to fight the Titans and bring peace to the world once more. Not unlike Diablo or Sacred, Titan Quest is a hack 'n' slash Action-RPG in which you create a character and level up by killing thousands of monsters, like Hydras or Gorgons. At the beginning of the game your hero has no profession, but upon reaching level 2 you are given the choice between eight unique "masteries". Upon reaching level 8 you are granted access to a second mastery. This allows you the choice of creating a warrior who is good magician or a necromancer who can also kill his enemies quietly. If you feel that you've misspent your skill points, you can rearrange them (for a nominal fee) by visiting a certain NPC in each act. The story of the game is based on the real mythologies of ancient Greece, Egypt, and Babylon, so you're bound to recognize many of your enemies. Additionally, you can learn much about the legends of the land you're adventuring in by talking to storyteller NPCs. If you don't want to beat the hell out of the Titans alone, you can invite up to 6 friends and play in LAN/WAN with them in the cooperative mode through the entire game. An Anniversary Edition was released in 2016 for the 10th Year since the game was first released, and is available free to owners of original games. It combines both Titan Quest and Titan Quest Immortal Throne in one game, and has been given a massive overhaul for the ultimate ARPG experience. Features: Restored and improved multiplayer functionality, including new features like a built-in voice chat and NAT resolving for best multiplayer connectivity; Support for more resolutions, larger camera distance and scaleable UI size; Improved performance and general stability; Support for modders through new modding options and a fully integrated Steam Workshop; Complete balance rework with improvements to all Masteries, damage types, unique items and sets; Countless bug fixes and other improvements, including ten years' worth of community fixes; Increased challenges and rewards for larger parties and on higher difficulty levels; Dozens of new heroes and bosses to encounter; Improved enemy and pet AI; Quality of life features like higher stack limits, quick item pickup, a larger stash and a speed setting; Reduced cheating with curbed exploits, removal of test items and mod comparison in multiplayer; Steam Friend Invites; Steam Achievements; Steam Trading Cards.

Wizardry Gaiden: Itsutsu no Shiren - Five Ordeals | IRI Commerce & Technology Co. Ltd. | [top] | |

It’s nice to see core staff of Wizardry Gaiden reunite and return to the series, even though Prisoners of the Battles and Five Ordeals once again go 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. Five Ordeals, as the name implies, contains not one, but five separate quests, each with its own dungeon. Both games’ shared engine is set up to be able to load new episodes, as well. One such episode, “The Absence of Misericordia”, was published through official channels, but there is also an online editor that allows to load user created scenarios. An English release later came out in 2021. | ||

The events take place 700 years before those depicted in Ys: The Vanished Omens; it is the first game in the timeline of Ys, and a prequel to the entire series. It is also the first Ys game in which the main protagonist is not Adol Christin, the red-haired swordsman and recurrent hero of the series. There are three main playable characters in the game: Yunica Tovah, a young apprentice knight; Hugo Fact, a skillful magician; and a mysterious person known as The Claw. These characters venture to the sinister Darm Tower, each having his/her own motives. The three also vary in gameplay style: Yunica plays similarly to Adol from the previous games, specializing in melee combat with swords and axes; Hugo fires magical bullets with his staff and has access to other types of magic; The Claw is distinguished by his speed in close combat. The fast-paced action RPG gameplay is similar to the one adopted in Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim and Ys: The Oath in Felghana. As the story progresses, characters acquire skills that can be combined in order to extend battle strategy. Some of the bosses from the first and the second Ys re-appear in this game. In 2012, an English-language localization of the game was published on Steam. | ||

Armored Suits GunValken | Robo Action Game VII@2ch | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is a tribute to Assault Suits Valken, a popular SNES side scrolling mech combat and platform game. They didn't just do a vanilla remake, however; they added a spate of new Assault Suits for you to pilot (including Lemnos, a seafood-themed Joke Character AS, the Blodia mecha from Armored Warriors/Powered Gear, the title mecha from the game Veigues Tactical Gladiator, and the title mecha from the extremely early Squaresoft game Cruise Chaser Blassty), changed the weapon system (each AS has a set loadout of four weapons) and included a "practice" menu that lets you replay any stage in the game with a full loadout of fully-upgraded weapons. | ||

Buster | E. Hashimoto (Buster) | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
From the acclaimed maker of Akuji The Demon and other freeware games comes this first commercial game by the developer. With it's six main areas and multiple stages in each, this is a fantastic, high speed jump 'n' run console-style platformer that wouldn't have looked out of place in the back-catalogue of SNES or Megadrive games. The main character has a wide variety of moves and attacks at his disposal (including wall jumping, hanging and a Sonic-esque spin), the enemies are fun to dispose of (the boss battles in particular), the difficulty curve is just about spot-on and the presentation of the game is simply outstanding - especially when you take into consideration that it was developed by a one-man team. | ||

Captain Binary | Twin Bottles | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is a Polish side-scrolling action game where you control the titular superhero, fighting back an alien invasion. Similarly to beat 'em up games such as Double Dragon, Captain Binary goes right all the time, and his efforts focus on shooting the oodles of aliens that appear every so often. The Captain can also jump on various buildings in the environment to dodge enemy fire or to collect weapons. Initally, Cpt. Binary is armed with just a weak pistol, but he can find more powerful weapons, such as tommy guns or lasers. Those weapons have limited ammo though. The captain can also toss grenades (once again, there's a limited number of 'em). If Binary gets shot by an alien, he dies and loses a life - and his powerful weapon, if he has one. A boss awaits at the end of each level. It was created by students of the Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology. At the very beginning of the first level, our hero is standing in front of a building which bears the same name. | ||

Crescent Pale Mist | ClassiC Shikoukairu | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is a 2½D Hack and Slash / Platform Game hybrid by the doujin circle ClassiC Shikoukairu that's noted for its fierce hack-and-slash gameplay, high-quality visuals, and for being really hard. Its story takes place in the country of Gasyukal, a country of where people seek knowledge of magic, but were foolish enough to stumble upon a forbidden form of magic considered widely taboo. The country's first use of this form of magic was used by ancient sages that ended up destroying an old and distant country, resulting in knowledge of its existence and destructive powers. Later a war broke out, the country of Gasyukal was at a disadvantage, and they were running out of ideas to hold off the enemy forces. Out of desperation, this is where the second time the forbidden magic was used to even the odds... until they couldn't control it and it backfires on them. This resulted in the country of Gasyukal to be pulled from a rift into an Another Dimension, thus turning the countryside into a forbidden no-man's land known as the "Taboo State". Those that try to investigate the Taboo State later ended up dead, without poisoning or trauma, as well as the doctors who examined the corpses and met with the same fate. Yunou, our heroine of this story, is a magician who is capable of using a deadly and forbidden form of magic known as Pale Mist — the very same Pale Mist that's seeping from Gasyukal - believes there's something more that's causing these deaths. She sets out to seek the source of the Pale Mist and put an end to it, although it's a quest that's easier said than done considering the many dangerous monsters and her former comrades she will confront along the way. Unlike most doujin action-platformers, the player is not limited to a single 2D plane as Yunou can jump from one plane to another and traverse to other areas (although there are times where you can't go back at all). Yunou can take down foes with her blade for close-ranged attacks, cast powerful Pale Mist magic like Rowanveld, and a bottomless supply of throwing daggers for good measure. Along the way, Yunou can find items and artifacts scattered throughout Gasyukal to enhance her abilities, provide hints towards her treasure-hunting, and unlock extra difficulties and other features. To make it through the Taboo State, Yunou will have to utilize every trick she's got under her detached sleeves. | ||

Eets: Hunger. It's emotional. | Klei Entertainment Inc. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
In this game you have to guide Eets through each level, helping him circumvent all the various obstacles and enemies to get to the puzzle piece safely. In each level you get a selection of items you can place to affect where Eets goes, since you can't control him directly, all of which are explained with tutorial levels along the way. The items are wide and varied, such as marshmallows that affect Eets' mood and change his reactions accordingly, whales that fire anything they eat into the air, wagons that carry items around or destroy the landscape, and plenty more. Levels also have various obstacles and enemies that have to be circumvented, growing harder as the player progresses. Players can also gain trophies for finishing levels without using all the items available or for how many certain items they've used. There's also a level editor and a replay recorder, both of which can be shared online with friends or through the Eets site. | ||

Fancy Pants Adventure: World 1-3 | Brad Borne | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
The character Fancy Pants is a mix of a stick figure and Fido Dido. The first world consists of three levels with a single boss. The game is a typical 2D side-scrolling platformer. Fancy Pants can jump, slide down slopes, and jump on top of enemies to take them out. He can also roll, similar to Sonic and launch himself to higher areas through half-open loops. The entire game has a hand-drawn style. Players collect icons to restore health and there are also hidden trophies that can be viewed in a separate section. They reveal more about the author's influences and interests. A secret area also contains a wall jump power-up, through which Fancy Pants can run towards wall to launch himself to a higher area. World 2 (2008) has the same gameplay as the original game, but offers many enhancements. Fancy Pants can now hang from ledges, wall jump straight away from the start of the game, and slide down slopes. There is also a storyline now, as an angry rabbit has stolen his ice-cream. The backgrounds are much more varied, there are more enemies, the speed is faster and more timed platform jumping is needed to complete the different levels. Players can unlock trophies and additional colours for his pants. All levels feature a mini-game where Fancy Pants needs to kick a snail's shell into a hole to unlock new items. This technique can also be used on enemies; there are now two ways to defeat them. A small jump on top of them will leave them stunned for a short moment, allowing Fancy Pants to kick them into the air. Large jumps kill them right away. World 3 (2012) added some sweet, new tricks to his repertoire. Do gravity-defying wall runs, jump off some walls, and even cut up some enemies with your fancy new weapon. The sword doesn't come into play until later, but it will be your best friend against the baddies you will face. The controls have been upgraded to give the fancy pants man better control over his wall jumps. Different directions result in different jumps. The enemies have taken a few lessons from their past beatings and compiled quite a diverse group of friends. From gun shooting rats to smelly pirates, you can beat them with your sword or jump on their evil, little heads. The game has matured a great deal - movement has become smoother, the visuals have become more detailed, and the dangers have become...well...more dangerous. The variety of enemy types provides a difficult challenge and the boss battles make for an even more engaging experience. The exploration is enriched by adding stars, secret rooms, and challenge rooms for you to find in your newest quest. In Feb/2020, a purchasable Remix Edition added REMIXED levels and a whole new boss at the end. You can collect all of the NEW collectible Cutie Chronicles and you unlock Fancy’s sister, Cutie Pants. Grapple your way to victory with her trusty sidekick Kabootle. On Jan 14/2024. The Fancy Pants Adventures: Classic Pack was released with updated visuals, loads of bonus features, and brand new Back Pages bonus levels. It has: "Classic" versions of Worlds 1-3, updated with high res widescreen support, and 60fps; Fancy Snowboarding - a spin-off title with line-riding physics fun; Both the World 1 Remaster + Remix; The World 2 Remaster is a WIP, and will be added upon completion; The Back Pages - Brand NEW levels, handcrafted to expand and connect these Fancy Worlds; Treasure Trove - Concept art, animations, early prototypes, demos, and more for the ultimate Fancy Pants fans; Steam Achievements - Prove you're the best by collecting every secret, and completing every challenge; Controller support. | ||

Frogger: Ancient Shadow | Hudson Soft Company Ltd. / Konami Digital Entertainment Inc., Oberon Media | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
While his friend Lumpy is away, Frogger learns from his girlfriend Lily that the evil crocodile Dr. Wani is threatening Firefly Swamp. He must save his home by solving puzzles, collecting gold coins and dodging hazards. In addition to running and jumping, Frogger can also manipulate objects with his tongue. The game's single-player story mode spans seven worlds and twenty-eight levels. The story levels can also be played in a timed challenge mode, and there is a multiplayer battle mode with a variety of scenarios. It is also possible to unlock the original Frogger arcade game. This game was not sold like a traditional CD-ROM release. Rather, a USB game controller was sold in stores under the "Konami Live" brand. Upon plugging in the controller to a computer, the game's executable would be installed. Then, on loading screens, game assets would be downloaded as they were needed. This was neat, but it meant when the servers shut down in 2012/2013, the game became unplayable. We were lucky enough to find someone who had around 25% of the game files on an old hard-drive backup. We were able to reconstruct the missing files using assets found on console releases of the game. This means the game is in a fully playable state, even if it took some modifications to get it to work. We are still hoping to find the rest of the original authentic files though, because we know our recreations are not perfect replicas of the PC files due to entries in hfstable.dat differing. It took a group called Highway Frogs of 6/7 people to restore the game. | ||

Ghouls And Ghosts | Capcom / Amuso Raffaele | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Ghouls and Ghosts is a fan-made remake of three games: Ghosts 'n Goblins (which had a 1987 DOS version) and its sequels which never had PC releases - Ghouls 'n Ghosts (originally a 1988 arcade game), and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts (originally a 1991 SNES game). This remake was done for the Retro Remakes 2006 competition and was made with the allegro library and MinGW. Ghouls 'n Ghosts had three years pass since Arthur defeated the Demon King Astaroth and rescued his beloved Princess Prin-Prin. A new villain, the Great Demon King Lucifer (Loki in some versions) has become the new leader of Ghoul Realm. Arthur must venture back to the Lucifer's palace and destroy the demon in order to rescue the Princess' soul and bring her back to life! During your quest to rescue her, you will face skeletons, demons, vultures, poisonous flowers, demons, flaming werewolves, and of course, ghosts and goblins. At the beginning of the game, you are armed with a sword to fight off these hellish creatures. As you run, jump, and kill monsters, you will find other weapons such as an axe, a super sword, fire water, a discus, and a dagger. Also, you can upgrade your armor several notches. While wearing the magic armor, the weapon currently in your possession will become capable of performing magic. It moves primarily from left to right. The five stages of play will take you to a place of execution, a decaying village, a monstrous mountain, a forest made of crystal, and a town that is on fire. At the end of each level, you must pass through a gateway; each gateway is guarded buy an evil gatekeeper. The final stage takes place in the Castle of Evil Demons. Here you will face a giant bee and King Loki himself! Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts a further 4 years after, a wonderful celebration is about to take place! Arthur and the Princess are engaged, and the wedding is to take place at last when she is suddenly snatched away by a huge demon. As you run, jump, battle and climb your way through the game, you will find in your pathway daggers, crossbows, scythes, torches, axes and tri-blades. When you gain a new weapon, you will forfeit your old one. Special weapons of enchantment, such as magic versions of the standard weapons, will appear only when you are wearing the bronze or golden armor, both of which can be found at various points in the game. The golden armor will also let you perform seven different magic spells that can do such things as expose hidden treasure, summon a fire dragon and disintegrate all onscreen enemies. As you would expect, the setting for this game is combination of fantasy and horror. Among other terror-filled levels, you'll travel through a haunted graveyard, scale the icy walls of a palace, brave a fierce blizzard, traverse a fearsome forest and journey through a rotting sea. At the end of each quest, you must destroy a boss character called a Foul Guardian. A plethora of obstacles, creatures and treasures lie between you and the Throne Room, a place where only the power of Guinevere's enchanted bracelet can destroy Sardius. | ||

A band of pirates has stolen the Crystal of Destiny. Worse yet, they've broken this relic and have strewn in all over the world. As Kenny it's up to you to collect the fragments of this long lost family heirloom and reunite them. Naturally, if you happen to find some other treasure along the way it sure wouldn't hurt. This is a platform game that takes place under water. All the staples of a platformer are here including the enemies, the spring boards, the bonuses and even the weapons, all with a nautical theme. Along your quest through the sixty levels of this three world adventure you will run into enemies like hermit crabs, jellyfish, marlin's and of course sharks! You can use underwater foliage as springboards to jump up to higher levels, stand on floating crates, rise with bubbles and even take a ride on a turtle as means of transport. Also like other platformers you must jump around to get places, but since you are under water you can swim a bit by holding the jump button down. As far as weapons are concerned, along the way Kenny will pick up stones that he can aim and throw at his opponents. These stones don't go in straight lines and arch with the force of gravity but they will also bounce off surfaces and can still cause harm to the enemies. Naturally there are some obstacles in your way such as sea urchins, octopuses, dripping algae, and of course bottomless chasms. The treasure you can collect include coinage and gems, however the treasure you must collect are artifacts that will allow you to jump into your awaiting submersible and advance to the next level. Join Kenny and explore 60 levels in 3 diverse worlds full of evil ocean creatures, surprises and endless fun. The game shines with cartoon-like graphics, cool music and totally relaxing game play. | ||

This 3D platformer includes games in 7 provinces of the country, using beautiful local music for each province. One of the advantages of this game is the use of local architecture of each province in different stages of the game. Years ago, in a remote place in a large desert, there was a small and beautiful village. The village was very far from the surrounding towns, so not many travelers usually passed by, except for a caravan that came once a year to take the goods people needed. In this small village lived a boy named Pouya who loved to be a businessman when he grew up and to be able to see everywhere in Iran. Pouya has a cat named Khapal, which is very belly. When the caravan entered the city, the children reached the village square. The people of the caravan were passing in front of them with various and colorful goods, when suddenly a dynamic eye fell on a merchant who had promised to take him with him last year. Bazargan also kept his promise and arranged with Pouya to take him with them tomorrow, but Khapal should not have gone with them. Pouya got ready to travel with the help of her mother. On the way, when everyone was tired and hungry and had left for lunch, the merchant told Pouya, "From today, you are in charge of food, go and bring the bag of food." But his belly button was hidden in the food bag and he had eaten all the food. The merchant fined them and left them alone in the desert and left. But Pouya decided to continue her journey alone. | ||

Thumbelina | Rhema Group / Play-Publishing | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is one of four (next to the Snow Queen, Snow White and Puss In Boots) games for children based on the motifs of popular folk tales. The plot of the game loosely refers to the themes of the fairy tale popularized by Charles Perrault. The gameplay combines elements of a platformer, adventure game and a logical game. 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. | ||

Twister Icefun [Cz] | Algida / Unilever | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is a promotional platformer game distributed in Algida vendors, promoting their Twister ice cream. It's one huge labyrinth level that you have to go through with a side view. The game could resemble a multi-screen ladder platformer, but the gameplay differs significantly from representatives of this subgenre, at least in the absence of enemies. There is also no plot - it just so happens that a boy, or rather a teenager, finds himself in a maze and must find a hundred Twister ice creams in it. Locations are combinations of stairs and platforms, and the latter are not small areas on which you need to jump, but entire floors. There are no chasms in the game, but many platforms can disappear and appear with a certain frequency, and it is not supposed to jump over, but rather to pass over them at the right moments. Some passages are blocked by doors, to open which you need to look for keys of different colors. The main character can only walk, climb stairs and jump, and the latter is done very poorly. For a normal jump, you need to completely stop and press the spacebar - you should never do this while moving, because this will lead to some kind of fragmentary short jump. True, if the character falls, then only to the bottom of the screen or to the screen located below - there are no deadly abysses in the game. As for the enemies, there really are none, but there are obstacles - strawberries scurrying up and down and promising to crush the main character, and rolling balls. There is nothing you can do about them - just avoid them. Falling into a trap takes one life, and there are seven in total. The gameplay remains virtually unchanged throughout the entire passage, except that at a certain moment balls appear - and because of this it becomes more difficult. | ||

Armadillo Run | Armadillo Run | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is a physics-based puzzle game that requires player to move an armadillo (pictured as a simple ball) to the blue area and hold it there for five seconds. To achieve that goal player is given resources represented by various building materials: Rope, Cloth, Metal bar, Metal sheet, Elastic rope, Rubber and Rockets. Those items must be used to create a certain structure to guide armadillo to the blue zone. The game is similar to Pontifex series in a sense that each material has its own set of properties. So not only material's functionality must be taken into account, but it's durability as well. Incorrectly built structures have all chances to collapse under their own weight. Other properties include: stretching, flexibility, tensile strength and compressive strength. Player is limited to the amount of materials he can use by the budget. The less number of items the player uses in solving the puzzle the less amount of money will be withdrawn from his account, consequently giving player a higher budget for the levels to come. Apart from using materials the game offers different editing modes that are designed to help player in his progress. They include: Structural, Tension and Timer. Structural mode allows player to place new links in the game area, thus creating new structures. Tension is used to adjust the starting tension/compression of the links. And Timer will make a certain link self-destruct after a pre-set period of time. The game plays much like The Incredible Machine series challenging the player with the progression of levels, each becoming available once the requirement of the previous one was met. The difficulty is growing up with the level number as well. The total number of levels is 50. However, since the time of the game's release, countless enthusiasts have created their own custom levels available for download at then official website. | ||

This is an action-puzzler where you play a character called Hoshi (a Zwooph), who using blasts of air from his trunk, can juggle or manipulate other objects or himself. The game consists of a collection of mini games, which can either be played individually (with the aim being to get a highscore) or through the adventure mode (where you play each one in order, only progressing to the next one once you've achieved a goal/high enough score). The mini games consist of tasks such as: Smashing invader-style blocks as they march down the screen, by moving Hoshi into them. This is done by blasting pulses of air from Hoshi, which then make him move; Blowing fruit balls into other objects (such as flower bumpers) so that they ricochet around the screen and into a monsters mouth, similar to Pachinko machines in arcades; A trickshot billiards game, where you fire Hoshi into the balls on the table, trying to pot them all within a certain number of air pulses; Bee Racing, where using similar controls to Hoshi, you race against AI Bees around a track (whilst avoiding obstacles such as rocks and snails); and various other mini games that follow the theme of ricocheting balls off targets / into holes either within a time limit or to achieve a goal (such as to clear bugs off a flower, to hit another ball off the same colour, to pick up stars, etc.). | ||

Bookworm Adventures Deluxe | PopCap Games, Inc. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This follows the tale of a little green worm named Lex (of the original Bookworm game) throughout 3 themed books as he spells words to defeat evil monsters. The main game interface is a 4x4 grid of letters, and unlike in the original Bookworm game, the letters do not need to connect to form words. The game is turn-based, and after the user attacks their opponent, the opponent then takes its turn. Each book is divided into 10 chapters that culminate in a "boss battle" in which the player is rewarded with a treasure upon defeating the enemy. Treasures do many things, ranging from increasing damage for using certain letters, to stunning the enemy, and a whole lot more. A player can only choose 3 treasures to bring with them into a chapter (out of an eventual total of 31). The game is part RPG, part word game. Eventually, the player will find that enemies can cause status ailments such as poison, bleeding, burning, stun, petrification, etc. These range from causing damage over time, to loss of a turn, to weakening their attacks. Through the use of certain treasures, items and special gem tiles, the player can cause similar inflictions to the enemy. In addition, after defeating a monster the player is awarded experience points, which will lead to a level up which imparts a bonus of either extra health, attack power increase, or defensive ability increased. The player is rewarded with gem tiles for spelling words of longer length (and also by using certain treasures which increase their frequency of appearance). Enemies will also sometimes drop potions. Health potions refill the user's health meter, attack potions increase their attack power by 50% and purify potions clear the player and tile grid of all status ailments. The game also includes an Arena mode (unlocked after completing all 3 books) in which the player can fight in real-time against all the bosses of the game. Every 5 opponents, the player is awarded one of each potion type and is allowed to change the 3 treasures they have equipped. Players are rewarded for spelling lots of short words quickly, attacking first, attacking many times before an enemy gets an attack in, defeating the opponent in 1-3 turns, and more. The more of these awards the player gets, the more bonus experience points they gain. | ||

This is a color-combination game. The gamefield is a microscope plate with proteins, cells and viruses floating. The objective is to combine proteins of different colors to create cells. Proteins have primary colors (blue, red and yellow). Therefore, cells created are orange, green and purple. Clicking on a protein selects it and shows a circle around it with their range. Hovering the cursor over proteins inside the range shows the possible matching chains. Clicking one of these different colored proteins starts a chain reaction that transforms all chain proteins in a cell. In action mode, the objective is to fill cell quotas within a time limit. In puzzle mode, the goal is to clear the screen of all proteins. Endless mode is similar to action mode, but with no time limits and no story. Viruses infect cells and removes them from the game. They can be eliminated by including those infected cells in the cell synthesis. | ||

Flo is back, but this time, she is on vacation. Join Flo as she works as a waitress while on vacation. Flo was planning on just taking a nice, quiet vacation, but she keeps losing her clothes and needs to work to make money to buy new clothing. The gameplay is very similar to the other games in the series. You play as Flo, who is a waitress. Your job is to seat and serve customers and to clean up after they leave. Different customers act differently, with some being very patient, some being loud and annoying, and some being in a hurry. Also, each person is a certain color and if you can match the person with a seat that is the same color, you can get bonus points. First, you'll need to seat your customers. Then, when they are ready to order, you will take their orders and then serve them their food. When they are done, you can collect their money and clean up their table. Sometimes, there will be other things to do as well, such as serving drinks or desserts or cleaning up spills. There are some notable differences in this game from the previous games in the series. Some of those differences include sometimes having 2 babies at a table having "love birds" as a customer type. Also, you are not working at regular restaurants... you're on vacation. Instead of restaurants, you will serve customers in different locations, such as on a cruise ship or a train. Sometimes, you will even have to serve customers in the dark, with only a flashlight to guide you. During the game, you will unlock new clothing and you will be able to dress Flo up in a variety of different shirts, pants/shorts/skirts, shoes, hats/sunglasses, and aprons. You can also upgrade each restaurant. However, unlike in previous games in the series, you can upgrade any part you want to instead of having to only upgrade items in a specific order. You only have a single upgrade option for each item, though... no choosing different colors or designs. | ||

This is a fast-paced puzzle game with Oriental themes. The mouse cursor is shaped like a dragon's head, with the other body parts of the creature trailing along with each movement. Most of the screen is occupied by tracks, twisting from the top to the bottom towards the gaping mouth of a stone idol. Multicolored spheres keep rolling on these tracks towards the hole, and the objective is to use the dragon to drag and drop the balls along the tracks, switching their places to form groups of three or more of the same color, to make them disappear. If several marbles manage to enter the idol, the game is over. Dragon eggs appear randomly on the tracks. They hatch when used in a match liberating a small dragon that acts as a power-up, flying over the line destroying spheres and dropping golden coins that can be collected for bonus points. The blue dragon eats all the blue marbles, the red dragon devours random balls, the purple dragon eliminates all the spheres from the front of the line, the yellow dragon transforms regular stones into dragon eggs. Some of the standard power-ups of the genre also appear on the string of spheres and are activated when used in a match. They slow the line speed, reverse the marbles movement or explode adjacent balls. The game has two modes: classic is the main one, where players complete levels of increasing difficulty, while survival is the endless mode, where the spheres never stop appearing and the goal is to achieve a high score. | ||

Family Feud | Atomic Planet Entertainment Limited / Global Star Software | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
It's time to play... Family Feud. After watching other families compete for big money, it's time for you to take on the challenge. With over 1000 survey questions, you'll need quick thinking and fast reflexes to "gain control of the board" and avoid the dreaded "three strikes". Plus, the unique "Family Editor" mode lets you customize your family and the online feature gives you a chance to play the Feud with opponents all over the country. Are you ready for the most popular television game show of all time? Survey says... Yes. A simulation of the TV game show of the same name. Two families will compete against each other to choose the most common answers to questions such as "Things a jockey needs", or "Clothes that don't go on hangers". The 2006 edition has both standard and quick games. The standard game contains 5 rounds. In rounds 1-4, two people are selected, one from each team, who compete to buzz in a common answer to the question on the board. The team that wins control then has to figure out the other common answers, earning a strike for any answers that are not common. If any common answers remain after that team's third strike, the other team has a chance to steal all the points for that round by guessing an unrevealed answer. In rounds 3 and 4, the stakes are higher. In round 5, two people from the winning team work together to find common answers to questions before time runs out. The quick game has just one family, who has to guess the common answers to a question. Finding all answers earns bonus points. The standard game can be played against the computer, another player on the same computer, or over the Internet. Answer questions by typing them out or using the on-screen keyboard; the computer will recognize word variations and some misspellings. A family editor is included, which lets you edit body type and clothing. By playing the game, new clothing options and studios will be unlocked. | ||

Feeding Frenzy 2: Shipwreck Showdown | PopCap Games, Inc. / GameHouse, Inc. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Feeding Frenzy is back with 60 more levels, new powerups, new fish and a new above water area. Start out as a small fish in the big ocean as you try to find out why there are so many shipwrecks lately. Eat the smaller fish and avoid the larger fish as you work your way up through the food chain. As you eat fish, you will grow and be able to eat even larger fish. You can also get powerups that allow you to move really fast, stun other fish, make larger fish shrink so you can eat them and much more. As you progress, you will change fish from that small fish up to a great white shark. Remember, though, that even as a shark, you can still be eaten by other sharks or killer whales, so be careful. New to the series, is an out-of-water experience. In some levels, you will have the opportunity to jump out of the water to eat mayflies and powerups. Jump high and do flips to score style points as well. But, watch out for the pelicans, who will be happy to eat you as you jump out of the water. One more new thing in the game are the Midnight Zones. These levels are too deep for light to reach them. If you want to see what you are doing, you'll need to eat plankton to give you enough light to see. There are the same two game modes as on the original... normal "campaign" style and Time Attack. | ||

Hammer Heads Deluxe | Nuclide.com BVBA / PopCap Games Inc. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|

This is a casual arcade game based on the classic Whack-a-Mole concept. The mouse controls a hammer used to thwack garden gnomes popping up from holes in the ground, requiring quick reflexes and fast eye-hand coordination. The game features different environments, such a garden, the beach, the desert... If a gnome is ignored, it will pop again and if it is missed the player loses a life, represented as a bar of hearts at the top of the screen. While playing, there are additional hearts to be collected, as well as gold treasure chests, cupids and strawberries. Money can be used to upgrade the hammer's speed or power in the shop (only available when you whack a shop gnome) or to buy additional lives. There are various achievements, stored in a trophy screen. These are awarded as milestones when 1,000 gnomes are hit or when a certain number of points has been scored. For extra points, perfect accuracy or lightning-fast reflexes are needed to score chains of bashed gnomes. The different types of gnomes provide an additional challenge. Some need to be hit multiple times, or only at specific moments (e.g. when they put a bucket on their head, or remove their helmet). Every five levels, the player acquires a camera to take a snapshot and save the game. The full version of the game removes the time restriction, allows the player to progress past the seventh level, has 21 trophies up for grabs, enables the shop, and adds 2 additional modes. After finishing 10 levels in the Classic Bash mode, the Marathon Bash is unlocked, where you battle an endless amount of gnomes. When you beat the king in the Classic Bash mode, the Tough Cookie mode is unlocked. | ||

Kakuro | Eureka Multimedia | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|

It’s like a crossword, but with numbers; solve the clues and complete the puzzle. Kakuro puzzles resemble crosswords which use numbers instead of words. The aim of the game is to fill all the blank squares in the grid with only the numbers 1-9 so that the numbers you enter add up to the corresponding clues. When the grid is filled, the puzzle is complete. Kakuro puzzle grids can be any size, though usually the squares within them have to be arranged symmetrically. As a rule of thumb, the more blank squares a puzzle contains, the harder it is, however this isn’t always true, especially if it is a good quality puzzle. Features: Over 10,000 Kakuro puzzles, play as much as you want; Print or play on the screen. Solutions can also be printed; 4 Board sizes to choose from, and 3 levels of difficulty from gentle to diabolical; Number combos are shown automatically for each clue; Save or print unfinished games - solve at your leisure; Easy to play, no messy rubbing out if you make a mistake; Beat the clock and record the fastest time; Handy ‘hint’ feature (just in case). | ||

This is a hidden object game where the player takes the role of a celebrity photographer working for a gossip newspaper. Each level is an assignment given by the tabloid boss, with a target celebrity as the main objective. After that, a map appears with celebrity homes and photo opportunity spots. These locations are screens cluttered with objects, with a list at the top of the ones that must be photographed. Clicking with the camera viewfinder over a correct object takes its picture and rewards the player with money. An informant at the top-left serves as the hint system, her tips getting progressively more expensive with each use. A notable characteristic of this game is that objects are not removed from the screen once they are selected (the opposite is true to most "seek-and-find" games). The final challenge of each level is to take photos of the celebrity. Her/His/Its head pokes out at random places, and the player has just a few seconds to snap a picture. | ||

Slingo Quest | funkitron, Inc. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
Slingo Quest is a progression of Slingo games; Slingo is a combination of slot machines and Bingo. The player is presented with a Bingo-style card (usually 5x5 squares) and is given a certain number of spins. Each spin triggers 5 wheels to spin, one corresponding to each column. The player then marks off squares on the card if they contain numbers from the spin. Jokers can also show up during spins which allow the player to mark off any square from the column. Players can get extra points for various feats, such as clearing the entire card. Different cards have different Slingo patterns highlighted in red that are worth extra points if the player marks every square. Sometimes, slots can produce devils that take a percentage of the player's accumulated treasure (though the treasure might be safe if the player has demon protection). Further, there are bonus rounds to be played against a pirate where a lot of treasure is at stake. The player and the pirate take turns spinning on the same board. Occasionally, a treasure chest pops up which may contain treasure or it may confiscate treasure. The player that discovers the chest has right of first refusal-- they can choose to open it or make the other player open it. Other rounds present the player with a 7x7 game board, instead of a 5x5 board. Some rounds have 2, 3, or 4 5x5 boards that are played concurrently. | ||

SpongeBob SquarePants: Diner Dash | Snap2play / Nickelodeon Online, PlayFirst Inc. | [top] | |
---|---|---|---|
|
This is a time management and waiter game featuring the famous cartoon character. It has gameplay mechanics very similar to Diner Dash, not surprising since it was co-developed by the same company. The player controls SpongeBob, setting tasks for him to perform his job duties at the Krusty Krab diner. Fish patrons and groups of customers arrive and wait to be seated at the left side of the screen. A hearts meter above their heads shows their satisfaction level, that slowly decreases while they wait making them eventually leave in anger when it runs out. They can be dragged and dropped with the mouse to one of the empty tables. The tables have multi-colored seats, that give extra points when matching the client's color. After seating at the tables, the customers start to peruse the menu, eventually raising their fins to make an order. The main objective is to serve them and collect their payment as fast as possible, to meet the minimum cash goal of each level before closing time. SpongeBob can carry two things at the same time, and the player can click on several places at once, setting a series of way points to take orders, deliver dishes, clean tables and accomplish other common catering tasks. The customers are types of fish, with diverse moods and personalities. The minnow is the more common and easier type, leaving good tips and having lots of patience. The cap-wearing cod is also very patient, but only leaves tips when happy. The tall anchovy gives large tips, but is quite impatient. The bow tie grouper has little patience while waiting in line, but can wait without fuss at the table. The sturgeon has no problem with lines, but gets irritated while waiting at the table. The bespectacled VIP customer gives the Employee Of The Month award, if he is satisfied after finishing his meal, but takes off several points if he ends up angry at the end of it. On later levels, new upgrades help to maintain the satisfaction level of the customers. The drink stations serves drinks for the seated clients. Music from a boombox stereo system makes the customers at the tables happy, and performers entertain the patrons waiting in line. The oven makes the kitchen cook faster, and winged running shoes increase SpongeBob's speed. The endless mode is similar to the career mode, but with an infinite stream of new customers. Each time a patron leaves dissatisfied, the player loses one star. The game ends when all the stars are gone. An upgrade button at the top of the screen adds helpful items. | ||

The following eight game modes are available: Classic, Quest, Relapse, Strategy, Puzzle, Slider, Continuous, Countdown. Initially, only classic and quest modes are available. The rest can be unlocked by playing the quest mode. The classic mode works in the same way as in previous games. The player is presented with a grid that is partially filled with coloured blocks. More blocks are added to grid, one row at a time, from the bottom of the grid. The aim of the game is to remove these blocks before they reach the top of the screen. To remove blocks the player simply clicks a group of three or more like coloured blocks. Some special pieces exists such as bombs that blows up surrounding blocks. In the quest mode the player enters a strange world where he progresses from level to level. For each level that is completed a new is made available. The quest mode features a store where the player can purchase different things for the money he earns for completing each level. For more money it's also play different casino mini games such as slot machines. All of the game modes are available in the quest mode and after a number of them have been completed they become unlocked for the player to play at any time. The relapse mode works like classic but new blocks come in from both top and bottom. In the strategy mode new block will only come in when the player clicks. In the puzzle mode the player has to clear all blocks from the screen and no new appear. In the slider mode the rows of blocks will slide left and right so that the groups changes. The continuous mode is an endless variant of the classic mode and the player has to last as long as possible. In the countdown mode the player has to score as many points as possible in two minutes. | ||

This is a puzzle game set on boards with different tiles. There are at least two talismans in the game, as they launch a coloured path. The player needs to rotate the other titles on the board to connect the tubes and extend the path. This is done by clicking them. Once two or more talismans are connected, the tiles are removed, coins are awarded and new tiles are put on the board. In the game's main Story Mode, players guide King Midas along nine locations where he needs to construct buildings. Based on the mythological premise, he has accidentally turned his daughter to gold and asks Zeus for advice. To break the curse Midas has to make money and spend it on others, by setting up structures. Each location on the level map is divided into different segments where Midas needs to earn coins to pay the workers to build for him. Each level requires a certain number of coins, gathered through successive games. Players can use three types of talismans in the game: owls (bronze), unicorns (silver) or lions (gold). The type is determined by the performance in the previous game. To encourage players to make long-winding connections instead of choosing a direct route, more combos and points make sure that gold talismans (with a higher cash count and thus nicer buildings) are used. If wrong decisions are made, silver or bronze is introduced. Easy levels only have two talismans, but in later ones there are often more than four, and of different types in a single game. Identical talismans can join the "stream" for large combos, but different ones block each other. While progressing, additional difficulties and bonuses are introduced, such as cash tiles, lightning tiles (create more coins), stone tiles (block a path), medusa tiles (she turns tiles into stones), minotaur tiles (creates worthless tiles by charging across the board), pandora's blocks (can provide a positive or a negative effect), freeze blocks (freeze the bonus chest until the path is complete), sirens (drain the talisman meter), and many more. The special ones can be activated or destroyed by connecting the "stream" to all sides of them. Negative ones that are ignored and kept on the board, will quickly start doing damage. There is also a bonus chest with a number that counts down. If the player manages to finish a level with a number of plays lower than the number, a jackpot is unlocked. Other special actions are rewarded with stars, stored at the bottom of the screen. When three or more are available, Talismania can be started where the player can click as many tiles as possible on the board to turn them into gold right away. This only lasts a few seconds. After every few rounds, a quick mini-game can be played to earn an additional building. Players need to click flying items and watch out no harpies are touched. After a number of levels, the Hero Mode is unlocked. It is very similar, but introduces a time limit. Players can also earn extra points by finishing early. Both modes have a separate high scores list. The free browser version has the same basic mechanics, but is much smaller in scope. | ||

Eat Everything in the World. Control a tiny ball of grey goo with the ability to eat anything smaller than itself. The more it eats, the bigger it gets! Soon you'll be able to eat the entire planet... The grey goo was originally created as a bathroom cleaner. It was only supposed to eat dirt and bacteria - cleaning your bathroom automatically. Instead it eats anything that it touches: dirt, bacteria, bugs, fish, mice, cats, dogs, cars, trees, houses, planets, galaxies... Everything! Levels: Munch your way through 60 levels and over 140 objects. Start as a microscopic entity in the laboratory and grow up to eat the city and more. In 2017, a revised version was released on Steam with completely new graphics. Brand New Art: The original Tasty Planet has never looked so good. The classic artwork can be toggled in the game's settings. Controller Support: Keyboard and mouse controls are supported. On Windows, most controllers will work. On Mac, only PS3 and PS4 controllers are supported. | ||

This is a unique blend of eleven different games, all set within a sunny island paradise. The game combines many classic gameplay ideas in one title, delivering a large amount of variety and keeps the game experience fresh. The eleven games are all linked to a central theme - collecting sand dollars to enable you to travel to new islands, buy toys and food for your Tamagotchi-style monkey, and unlock even more games to play. Each mini game offers the player a different gameplay experience. These are some of them: Puffer Popper: With help from Crab the player must defend the sand castle by destroying bubbles as they snake towards the beach. A classic and instantly playable concept, Puffer Popper requires the player to connect three bubbles of the same colour to win. Use the left and right joystick or directional pad to aim the beam, and press the action button to fire a bubble. The game can be increased in difficulty through the addition of multiple Puffer fish and by potentially removing the players aiming beam. Jungle Jump: Jungle jump is a game of timing and skill. Use the left and right buttons on the joystick or directional pad to guide the Monkey through increasingly difficult jungle levels. Shell Game: The shell game is both a game of skill and observation coupled with a way to win more Sand Dollars. Conceptually the Shell Game is extremely simple: three shells that swap, the user must pick the shell that hides the pearl. Due to the high expense of certain shop items and the cost of purchasing new islands, the user can use the Shell Game to win the Sand Dollars required to make these large purchases. Sandoku: The classic favorite Sudoku makes the transition to Tropix effectively, with intuitive play. Cascade: Cascade is a casual concept. The game is a variation on the classic objective of connecting three of a kind. This type of game can be controlled exclusively via the joystick or directional pad with the addition of the action button to make selections. The overall design is about linking these mini-games into a "world" where you buy things, look after a creature, travel around and explore. For casual gamers, Tropix is simple to play, and can be played in short bites or in long sessions. | ||
