You can fight with the primary weapon, but sometimes using the helpful items is a better choice.

Players and spectators will have to shoot out of a cannon in the clouds , to ascend to the apple tree until the moon , to visit the beautiful palaces, as well as a ride on the lunar transport to the other side of the moon , and behold the beauty of unimaginable landscapes that are hiding in the back of the night lights.

Keith Night wakes up in a gutter. Having no memories of getting there, Keith has to track the events of the previous night, but he has no idea of the events to come. Later on Keith finds out that the events are part of his inspections of the murder of his only close friend, Walter Stillman. This leads him into a chase of his nemesis-to-come, Big Jackson. The story is told almost completely subjective from Keith's point of view, excluding conversations. Along with Keith, there are only 3 main characters lined up with the story. After a Shadow is a short noir adventure in a comic-like style, made as a part of the developer's Bachelor's Thesis. It was fully created with Adventure Game Studio. The game is a classic point'n click adventure a little in the vein of Discworld Noir and such. The interface of the game is similar to Revolution's Beneath a Steel Sky, where you use only the two mouse-buttons to interact with the world and inventory. | ||

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

This brings the player into a cyberworld created by the mysterious "AL". Nature doesn't have its place here. You play as a unnamed avatar, who has to explore the beautiful world of Alhomepage, in order to resolve riddles. Navigation is similar to the first Myst: pre-rendered 3D scenes, seen by the player in first perspective, with point 'n click. The game also has a full soundtrack. The player doesn't have any idea of the story when the game starts, except that the creator of Alhomepage, "AL", allowed him to explore his world. It's a great virtual walk where the avatar can explore the seven islands, meet the locals, discover how some strange robots work. The story takes some elements from "Micky's Adventure", a web-browser flash game developed by the same author in 1998. In that game a local of Alhomepage had to "reset" the cyberworld in order to avoid its extinction. Although the game isn't very hard, it's not particularly suitable for kids: it contains obvious elements about the use of drugs. Alhomepage was released in a limited retail version in entire Europe and some other countries, but in August 2010 the it was released in full digital download version for free. | ||

| Apathy: Midnight Collection Vol. 1 [J] | Nana Korobi Ya Korogari & Shannon | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
A collection of stories set in the Narugami Gakuen 1995 and Midnight Collection series. Contains "Emichan no Satsujin CLUB Kansatsunikki", "Okuri Inu" and "Hashira no Kizu". It's an alternate retelling of the horror VN Apathy – Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi which first debuted on – wait for it – the Super Famicom in 1995! Additional scenarios and art were eventually added to the original in 2007 to make Apathy 1995 – Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi – VNV Version. The first story of Emi's Murder Club Observation Diary, is a 84 ending whopper of a story, though fortunately it doesn't take long to reach each ending. It chronicles the adventures of a psychopathic schoolgirl and her attempts not to be assassinated by the school’s Murder Club. It’s dark, twisted and ever so humorous. The theme is horror flavoured with copious amounts of black comedy, like icing on a cake made of human organs. The second, The Following Dog, has 36 endings and exchanges the black comedy with drama. It's a far more down-to-earth horror story – a much needed change from the manic pace of the Murder Club's chaos. The third, Scratches on the Pillars, rounds the collection off with a very evocative, artistic short story. It's an absolute masterpiece. The art is astounding and the atmosphere it evokes is beautiful. The downside is that it's extremely short and is completely linear, but it's an experience in itself. It was followed in 2008 by Renewal Edition where rearranged music from Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi was completely replaced and an ED sung by Katakiri Rekka was added. It features new graphics, more violent than the previous edition, and a new branching scenario called "Amedama Baa-san" told by Iwashita Akemi. In 2009, a Special Edition released where choices were introduced, making this game a complex branching story with many endings. Because of this, this edition couldn't include the opening "Watashi no Ningyou" and the seventh story from Sakagami's point of view. As a replacement, a new seventh story was added. To diversify the experience, the public was invited to submit scenarios and 13 works were selected. A 2010 Final Version includes new art made with real actors, and the ability to switch tachie with previous art styles. You also have the ability to replace them with the ones of your liking such as your own illustrations and photos. Two new scenarios were added: "Kyoushi Hen" and "Seito Hen", and one was deleted: "Amedama Baa-san". | ||

This is a 2D platformer entirely focused on stealth. The player assumes the role of the British cat burglar Trilby, known from the The Chzo Mythos adventure series by the same developer. The events take place in 1991, two years before 5 Days a Stranger. Trilby travels to Chapow City in the United States, known for its riches. He only had small time business in England and now wants to be challenged in the city of stolen dreams. Through 7 heists, with gameplay somewhat similar to Bonanza Bros. combined with Elevator Action, Trilby has to earn reputation points, collect loot and complete the main mission. Levels consist of single screens with different platforms. To get past guards and cameras, Trilby can use a limited amount of tazer shots, hug walls, disable electric circuits, sneak past lasers, pick locks and collect information about the environment and the guards. An eye icon in the top right corner of the screen shows how well Trilby is hidden and a lamp shows the amount of light in the area. The amount of exposure (light, medium or full light) determines the efficiency of Trilby's moves and whether he will be spotted or not. Other basic moves include climbing ladders, using an umbrella to climb up platforms and moving down again. After the initial tutorial, the heists are unlocked progressively, and after each mission the performance is awarded based on completion time, the amount of alarms triggered, loot collected and tazers used. Different rankings yield different rewards, and players can return to earlier missions at any time to improve their performance. Trilby's confidence grows by having him read about his exploits in newspapers. The collected reputation points can be exchanged for new skills in the workhouse. There are 14 in total and they open up new ways to complete missions. The available skills are Roll, Gecko Hold, Sugar Rush, Lower Standards, Level 2 Locksmith, Reasonable Doubt, Into Shadow, Flit, Sidle, Bargain Hunter, Sadist, Cracksman, Electrician and Forgetfulness. There are also 6 different costumes to unlock. | ||

When you awaken in a mysterious prison you have no idea how you got there or why. Your great-uncle Titus will offer assistance from beyond in freeing you and himself from the puzzles of Azada. Find the pages of the book and you'll both be free. Azada is a multi-puzzle adventure game where you must solve a bevy of different types of puzzles in order to collect painting fragments that will unlock the final puzzles to escape the room. The sorts of puzzles you will have to deal with range from many typical puzzle mini-games such as; a match game where you have to match different butterflies, a symbol-sudoku game, a sequence following game where you must remember the sequence of musical tones played, picture-puzzles where you'll have to use sliders, a game where you'll have to place arrows on the ground in order to lead a robot to the exit, a game played against the AI where you'll try and complete squares while taking turns laying down lines, a match-stick moving game where you'll have to reduce a number of boxes, mazes, math puzzles and even a tower of Hanoi game. The most unique puzzles of the game however are the ones that play similarly to graphic-adventure point-and-click games. You'll be given a stationary picture of a room with three or four objects to find in it. When you find these objects you will use them to uncover the pages of the Azada book in order to move to the next puzzle. For example you will need a pipe segment which you'll need to attach to a pipe you uncover while opening a cupboard and then when the pipe drains a number combination will fall out which you'll enter into a lock-keypad and so on and so forth. There are over forty different puzzles and puzzles make re-appearances as you play along the game and will get more challenging as you encounter them further along. For example the aforementioned Towers of Hanoi will gradually go from four discs to transfer over to seven discs. There are five master-level puzzle challenges to move through which are actually the pages of the Azada book where the forty+ puzzles are contained. | ||

| Bamba Snack Quest 1-3 | Gal Mamalya | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

This free advergame series was made as advertisement for an Israeli snack. These fun, quirky little point-and-click diversions star a large-headed, unusually plucky baby who must traverse land, sea and even across the street to rescue his beloved bamba snacks from the clutches of an evil squirrel (and then, when things take a turn for the weird, from a giant mosquito). Happily, in addition to being charming, the Bamba Snack Quests are also clever, entertaining and well-made. The gameplay is of the "clear a path" variety, in which the player must utilize elements of each scene in the correct order and combination in order to proceed. Quest 1 is comprised of eight unlockable chapters, all of which are now available online; Quest 2 (2008) has seven to solve. The Quests have a wonderful, cheerful sense of aesthetics. Cartoony characters are combined with colorful, almost photorealistic environments, creating a sort of Roger Rabbit-like juxtaposition of the lifelike and fanciful. The puzzles are, admittedly, somewhat uneven; some chapters are ingeniously clever, some simple, and others head-scratchingly unintuitive. This, along with obnoxiously long load times, is the biggest drawback to an otherwise excellent series. Quest 3 (2011) - The baby is trying to rescue a squirrel from a UFO and involves stealing the cane from a geriatric robot amongst other surreal yet intensely cute scenes. | ||

When the World Wide Web broke down the world erupted into full scale nuclear war. What remains inhabitable has been divided into three zones. In the Safe Zone life goes on pretty much as before, albeit with some restrictions on immigration, tourism and computer networks. In the Unsafe Zone things are worse. Nuclear waste has lead to disfigurements, diceases and even mutations for a percentage of the population. The economy is struggling with a massive pressure on health care, environmental cleaning, natural recourses and law enforcement. The Tarnished Zone is beyond repair. People there who do not die of "unnatural" causes like homicide or traffic accidents have a life expectancy of about 35-40 years due to massive pollution and nuclear waste. Anarchy and chaos is the norm, but there are always some who find ways to capitalize on such things. In Flavendres Heights, the Safe Zone, Cayanne Pepper is trying to make it as a freelance writer, Detective Arden is struggling to inject a sense of integrity into the city's police force, and poor rich kid Leonard Perec is on the run, wanted for murder. The police department's efforts to keep Detective Arden off the case only serves to entice his interest in it further, and he asks his friend Cayanne for help. Rich in cliches and seen-before use-key-to-unlock-door-puzzles, the keyword here is "something different" - which is exactly what this run-of-the-mill quasi-post-apocalyptic crime-conspiracy game will leave you wanting. Featuring Paint-graphics in glorious 640x400 resolution (by "adding a lot of black...") and touching on themes like sex and murder with the subtle sensitivity of a medium bulldozer. The game is mostly an attempt to establish a hero and a villain. | ||

This is a "bushy" fantasy adventure in which you play as a horribly disfigured creature named Phlegmwad (whose head is conveniently covered by a paper bag), employed as an assassin for the evil Lord Horrible. His first task is to kill the good Queen of Everything. Or is it the evil Queen of Everything, and the good Lord Horrible? What do good and evil mean, anyway? This, in the end, will be up to you to decide. It was made with the Wintermute game engine. | ||

| Cobra's Arc Remake | Nerlaska Studio | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This remake of Cobra's Arc (1986, Dinamic ) was made to participate in the contest CEZ Retrocompo 2007. Cobra's Arc is a curious conversational adventure in which the messages the computer send us play a fundamental role, but instead of replying to them directly, we must choose the action to do by pointing to the available icons of the actions menu, therefore this is what could be called an iconographic adventure. Also, you will find lots of places, personages and situations through the game, all of them surrounded in an atmosphere of fantasy and legend, so the action could take place in deserts, as well as inhospitable mountain ranges or mysterious walled cities. The plot of the game turns around a fabulous treasure, an immense amount of accumulated wealth during centuries by the priests of an old culture dedicated to the adoration of the god Cobra. According to the tradition, the temple where the priests jealously kept their jewels, diamonds and objects made with the most precious metals, was constructed on a ship, reason why it resisted the great deluge. Now the fortune hunters have as obsession finding at all costs the palace of the god Cobra. But for it, they will have to fulfill two objectives: killing the prince Cobra and the wizard; once they do it, they will be ready to find so incredible treasure. | ||

| Covert Front 1-4 | Karol Konwerski & Mateusz Skutnik | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
From the creator of the Submachine series comes this point-and-click adventure series. Episode 1: All Quiet on the Covert Front (July/2007) - You play Kara, a spy in a world where World War I is triggered in 1901 instead of 1914, in which technology is more advanced and your target, physicist Karl von Toten, is on the verge of a revolutionary discovery. Your task is to break into von Toten's house and find clues to his secret. Controls are the usual point-and-click fare, with inventory items stored in opaque bubbles at the top of the screen. Just like Mateusz's Submachine games, Covert Front is dripping with lush visuals and a deep atmosphere. It also contains a number of red herrings — items, scenes and other oddities that look like important clues but serve no real purpose other than to enliven the environment. Episode 2: Station on the Horizon (Oct/2007) begins with Kara inside von Toten's mansion with key intelligence in hand. Now she must escape with her life to inform her superiors of the shocking truth. The beauty of the Covert Front series (and the Submachine games) is the art direction and sense of mystery. Mateusz wraps rich environments around intruiging storylines and sprinkles puzzles that are just tough enough to make you want to see them through. Not too difficult, not too easy, but just right. Episode 3: Night in Zurich (July/2009) - Perhaps better even than the previous installments, Night in Zurich absolutely nails the atmosphere of danger and intrigue so essential to old spy tales. Mateusz's signature art style captures with aplomb the look and feel of a setting fraught with suspicion, and even the puzzles only serve to further set the mood. To succeed you'll literally have to think like a spy and search for hidden meaning in everything. Is that train schedule really as innocuous as it seems? What about the Bible on the bedspread? Just remember to watch your back while you're nosing around for clues. It's a great story, rife with missing agents, espionage, secret mechanisms, and all the things that make spy drama great. Fans of the series won't be disappointed, and while newcomers might find the occasionally brain-burning puzzles a bit daunting, anyone with a taste for mystery will find a lot to like here. Episode 4: The Spark of Life (Apr/2012) - She remains hot on the trail of Karl Von Toten, the German scientist whose discoveries could tip the balance of this alternate universe's World War. It's time to save the free world. Skulking about in rural daylight is a different kind of tension from the dark alleyways and creaking mansions Kara has explored in the past, but you will still look over your shoulder at every chirping bird and creaky door. | ||

| Crackwell Legacy, The + Crackwell 2 Unhinged | Francisco Gonzalez, Davy Stedham / Grundislav Games | [top] | |

|
|
Not only mainstream games are parodied, even indie games cannot escape the vile claws. The Crackwell Legacy takes a few characters and events from The Blackwell Legacy and turns things around. Just like the original game, it is an AGS point-and-click adventure game. Throwing in a lot of profanity, the main goal of this 3-room game is to have Rosangela Crackwell (Rosangela Blackwell) get rid of the dog of her neighbour Shecanteat Sharma (Nishanti Sharma) with the help of Blowey Malone (Joey Malone). In the original game, Joey is a ghost that protects and guides the Blackwell family, but in this game his job is to protect the family members from a crack overdose. The game is very short, but the characters have been fully voiced and bear a likeness to those of the original game. Crackwell Unhinged (2011) The prequel to The Crackwell Legacy and parody of Wadjet Eye Games' Blackwell Unbound tells the story of Lauren Crackwell (ancestor of Rosangela Crackwell), a strung out crack-whore in New York City 1984, as she deals with her daily job to find her next crack. A ghost Blowey accompanies Lauren, while she is meeting her neighbor Hecanteat Schwarma and the deadly Madam. This very short traditional 3rd person perspective point-n-click adventure game contains fully voiced characters and developer's commentary. | ||

In an utopian society, only the elite are deemed worthy to live under the World Union banner - the smartest, healthiest, and wealthiest. Prosperity is a science, sex is entertainment, disease and capital crime are non-existent, and the future has never looked better. But beneath a perfect world lies an unspeakable truth. That truth is ready to surface. A World Union citizen is murdered in Russia, one of the few remaining Rogue States. This murder oddly coincides with the accidental death of a prominent professor in Adrianopolis, an important border town between the World Union and Russia. Peace Officer Phoenix Wallis is assigned to lead the investigation of the murder. Still young and inexperienced, she will soon make discoveries beyond her wildest imagination, as skilled hackers and subversive characters begin taking an inexplicable interest in Phoenix. Her investigation reveals enigmatic clues that lead her deeper and deeper into a mystery that challenges not only her case, but her very beliefs in the worldview she has sworn to protect. This story-driven, third person game uses a 3D engine with dynamic cameras and other technologies developed by Momentum AS. Their remarkable patented facial animation technology is put to excellent use, as the game features over fifty personable characters that you'll frequently engage in dialogue throughout your investigation. Using a point and click interface, players have responded enthusiastically to the intuitive and responsive control. The game features a wide variety of organic obstacles ranging from logic puzzles to hi-tech gadget manipulation to dialogue and inventory challenges. | ||

| Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder | Zoetrope Interactive / Lighthouse Interactive | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Philosophy says there's no light without darkness, no darkness without light, and never has that been more true in this first-person, node-based thriller that finds its inspiration in the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The story itself is an original tale that casts players as detective Howard Loreid, who is called in to investigate the murder of a wealthy man heavily involved in occult activity. The prime suspect is a private investigator named Loath Nolder, whose unexplained behaviour previously caused him to quit his practice and disappear for five years before returning just as suddenly. Now Nolder is gone again, and this time it's the player's job to hunt him down. Darkness Within is no ordinary murder mystery, however, as lucid dreams and paranormal events plague your investigation, and the chase "takes players to an eerie and disturbing corner of the human psyche exploring nightmares, the occult, and a frightening psychological world". The game introduces several interesting features, including a built-in hint system with three difficulty levels, an inventory-style system for collecting and analyzing thoughts and clues, plus several special effects to reflect the changing psychological state of the the player character. In 2014, an enhanced Steam edition was released with enhanced graphics and Steam achievements. | ||

| Daymare Town 1-4 | Mateusz Skutnik | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is another fun point-and-click series from the maker of Covert Front and the Submachine and The Great Escape series of escape the room games. Daymare Town (July/2007) Fade in: a strange and oddly deserted town that gives the unsettling feeling that eyes are peering from around corners. It is a drab and dreary town, not a very pleasant place to be. But now you're stuck, and you'll do anything you can to leave. The artwork in this game consists of sketches that create a much different atmosphere for a point-and-click game. Also, the difficulty has been kicked up a notch with the author claiming that Daymare Town is the hardest puzzle game he has made by far. It is for "advanced" point-and-click gamers, only. Daymare Town 2 (May/2008) This returns you to the daytime nightmare of a place complete with new puzzles to solve, new characters to meet, more creepy creatures peering at you around corners, and more items to find (this time he has you looking for coins). The place has an unsettling atmosphere and it's a bit scary, so make sure you play it late at night. You can't help but enter this freaky town, but can you escape from it? This latest game sports Mateusz' newest, slickest game engine ("the float ver.1.0") that will be used for most of his upcoming games. Daymare Town 3 (Mar/2010) - When disaster strikes, you find yourself waking up in a strange hospital with the cutest little creepy doctor keeping an eye on your hurts. Which is all well and good, but you really need to find your money bag and carry on with your adventure. Of course they'll just let you walk on out the door... right? As always, the series is more charming than scary, but the atmosphere in this weird little game is wonderfully unsettling, like a children's book that fell off the back of a truck somewhere. You can interact with a much more varied cast than before, and even indulge in a bit of item trading if someone has something you want. (And who doesn't need more vomit pills, eh? Eh??) Figuring out just what the strange, glowering (or cowering) inhabitants of the hospital want from you is a bit of a challenge, but if you keep your eyes peeled (ow, my eyes! I have to stop taking myself so literally.) you'll win the day. Daymare Town 4 (Sep 10/2013) - The player starts at the edge of a plain void of all things except the occasional sticks and trees. Some inhabitants are wilder (but in some examples like the Fog folk more intelligent) than the city folk and like the Sand giant more ancient. Eventually, the Player becomes able to see past the fog in the Deep Fog Trench to find the Tear and climb to the Cliff where another town that is not Daymare Town, but instead a mirror image awaits the Player. | ||

The letter you received from Arkwright's nephew Carter was clear enough: when the old man dies the inheritance tax will be too great. It's certain ruin, much like the estate itself. To raise some capital the nephew has set up buyers for Arkwright's extensive collection of rare and old books: the British Museum, the libraries at Cambridge and Oxford and the Université de Paris. You have the inventory: of course, you still need his signature. The horse comes to a stop outside the front door of the weary mansion. The rain is getting worse. Created for the Lovecraft Commonplace Book Project, John Ingold's Dead Cities captures H.P. Lovecraft's obsession with forbidden knowledge, in a game that’s not only well written, but also crafted to draw you in. It's a small, tight design that doesn't take long to finish. With some amount of replayability, you can find a few premature/alternative endings. But the mood the game creates hangs heavy throughout, with settings richly described though not overly Lovecraftian. | ||

It is said that for hundreds of years, pirates from the English island of Dead Reefs were looting the ships sailing by and slaughtering their crews. One of the wrecked ships was carrying an old relic, kept secret and locked by a centennial monk order. It is known to have been then stolen and retrieved by the ruler of the island, Baron DeSantra. Shortly after, inhabitants of the island started dying in unnatural ways one by one. The first victim of this strange series of events was the Baron's wife, who was killed by her husband with his sword. Ten decades after these alleged "facts", a new death is reminiscent of the legend and casts fear on the island of Dead Reefs. A detective from the mainland, Amideo Finvinero, is sent to investigate the death and find the killer. You are this detective. And you will need more than natural skills to shed the light on this terrific case. This is a fascinating and mysterious adventure that takes place in the 18th century and spreads over several decades, combined with an absorbing murder investigation. Play as a detective and defy unnatural events, solve challenging riddles and risk your life to defeat a vicious killer. Truly non-linear gameplay has your actions determining unique outcomes and endings. The full 3D environments were made using Virtools technology. | ||

This is a learning game disguised as an entertainment title, and was very successful in teaching students the history of Mesopotamia through a time travel adventure. The developers worked closely with historians, the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, and archaeologists to create a game that was fun while sneaking in education. It was funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) intended to promote collaboration between museums and libraries. It features about fifty minutes of game play. This full prototype is powered by Vicious Cycle's commercial game engine. It uses sophisticated video gaming strategies and realistic digital environments to engage the learner in challenges and activities that can be solved only by developing an understanding of Mesopotamian culture and history. It opens with a cataclysmic event — a series of earthquakes in the city of Baltimore. The setting for these opening scenes is the WAM, faithfully reconstructed via hundreds of digital photographs. The player quickly learns that the earthquakes are being caused by a time-traveling archaeologist named Dexter, who is accidentally and unknowingly wreaking havoc with the fabric of time. The storyline then unfolds, compelling the player to go on a series of missions to ancient Iraq, "leaping" into the body of several historically attested characters in the ancient cities of Uruk and Ur. | ||

Are you ready to find out what happened to the dinosaurs and their extinction? Then join Dr. Abraham Lutz in his attempt to reach that long passed Jurassic Age using one of his inventions: the time travel machine. Our Doctor is desperately trying to prove his own theories about why the big reptiles vanished from Earth 65 million years ago and at the same time, make a fool of one of his paleontologists colleagues. And the only way to do that is going to the Jurassic and checking by himself. Of course, getting there wont be that easy as he thought. Honouring the lasting tradition of adventure games, our old Doctor is going to need a lot of help to bring his journey to a good end. The story takes place in different spaces and times and will grab a laugh from you here and there given that the Doctor has a penchant for a cynical humour. The detailed cartoon graphics are beautifully complemented by a jaunty soundtrack by Greg Schlaepfer. | ||

This is an unusual casual puzzle/adventure game that assigns the player the role of Faye, a young woman, whose husband, Fidget, has been whisked away via magical means by Lilith, a mysterious fairy. To ensure that Faye's husband stays with her, Lilith has put an entire kingdom to sleep. Somehow, Faye wasn't affected, and now, it is her purpose to rescue her husband and to save the kingdom in process. The game comprises 18 chapters (screens), in each location a specific set of puzzles should be solved and a number of jewels located, by playing a Hidden Objects type of game. Those jewels do not assist in solving puzzles, but instead help to unravel the mysteries surrounding the story and increase the player's final score. Player can take his time while solving the puzzles, however, his final score will be affected if it takes too long. The puzzles presented by the game vary from classical inventory-based puzzles to mathematic and logic puzzles reminiscent of Myst. Another resemblance it shares with Myst is its presentation, which is the same pre-rendered 3D stills viewed from the first person perspective. However, due to it's casual nature the game incorporated a number of limitations to the formula of classic adventure. All of the game puzzles must be solved within the limits of one screen and player is not allowed to move any further, before solving the puzzles for a present chapter. Previously completed chapters cannot be revisited either, and all the jewels left in them are gone for good. It boasts a fairy-tale approach to it's artwork and music, trying to create an interesting and gripping story through the series of visions, diary entries and various comments on the events by the game's protagonist. | ||

Recently, they were to transport a special piece of cargo (more specifically, a talking doll), but got distracted along the way and crashed on Akea.

Ungo will be chased around by several Uros, pass through an underwater gauntlet, and meet an Akean woman who used a magic flute.

Melvin is a misfit. For his love for fantasy he is treated as a madcap by his classmates. He'd rather be a knight, magician or adventurer than just being Melvin. Every sunray is full of magic, in every tree is a puck; and if it was in his hand he would hunt down every gangster in the world with a magic wand. Every hard crash with reality rips him out of illusion and gets him down. That's why he goes on an adventurous journey by the help of candle magic. The game offers a varied and twisted story in a fantasy setting with an unique quest design through day and night identities of the characters. There's detailed 2D backgrounds with animated objects, a quest diary with multi-level quest help, and realistic illumination and light effects. Change between day and night is possible at any time showing the totally contrarian day and night personalities of the characters. | ||

|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Point Club is the second game in the point-and-click adventure series following the Italian Emilio Carboni through his exchange student program in Sweden. The story picks up right away where the previous game ended, and an optional short introduction is shown to get up to speed with the events of the previous episode. Emilio has met the Spanish students Pedro and Miguel who tell him about the point game. Together with Mathias, they have to earn points by kissing and having intercourse as many girls as possible. Before Emilio can become part of the game, he needs to show the Spanish students he can pull off a decent prank. Once the point game starts, Emilio will need to find a way to get into the club and get a bike to ride to his fadder meeting. Parts of the scenery of the previous episode are reused and story threads are further explored. Many new scenes, backgrounds and characters have been added. The game uses a mouse-controlled verb coin system to perform actions and it is longer than the previous episode. There is an 'Ints & Tips section to show clues when stuck. | ||

This innovative adventure starts on an old, dilapidated ship that's grounded ashore. A woman, Professor Lea Nichols, awakens in one of the cabins with intravenous tubes in her arms, she is clearly ill. You'll watch her discover a letter and then begin a desperate attempt to escape her locked room. Helpless but clearly NOT alone, she needs your assistance to escape her floating prison. And so begins a shared adventure that you experience through her, while personally remaining in your detached position. You'll need to employ equipment on screen strategically to overcome the many environmental and human challenges facing the woman. Unfortunately, you have no ability to communicate verbally with her, so your influence must be asserted through more subtle measures. At times this will involve simple tasks like opening and closing doors or steam valves, flicking light switches on and off, or ringing a phone. Other times, her safety will require you to take a more direct role by controlling survival systems like water, air, temperature, and electricity, or by distracting enemies that she may not even know exist. As Lea's extended eyes and ears, you'll constantly need to be scouting the path ahead for dangers. The camera system allows you either multiple views of the same place, such as seeing both sides of a closed door, or the ability to watch several places at once. These cameras come with full 3D rotation and zoom capabilities, enabling you to thoroughly search each area, even to the point of reading lips. But you will also need to use light intensifiers, heat detection, thermal vision, and even mobile cameras on remote controlled vehicles in order to fully explore and analyze the environment. Adding yet another layer of challenge to the game is Lea's independence. Although reliant on you to guide her, she does not know who you are, and since she has her own notions, attitudes, and fears, she will not blindly follow your lead. So you'll need to note her reactions, anticipate her decisions, and most importantly, earn and maintain her trust. Your own identity is unknown both to yourself and to Lea at first, but as the game progresses, it will start to become evident through periodic flashbacks. The ship's Intranet comes heavily into play, as you'll gain access to classified files, emails, video logs and other documents dating back to the 1970s that give you clues to understanding your current situation. As an added bonus, the game will offer optional secondary missions through these files. English version is due in January 2008. | ||

Dreams... ice-blue eyes calling to you in the night. The howls of wolves echo across empty streets. Young women found dead, violently murdered. Love and loneliness. In Fatal Hearts you play the role of Christina Robinson and help her to uncover the secrets behind her dreams. As the story unfolds you will be forced to make choices of who to believe, who to trust, and who to declare an enemy. Solve puzzles and conquer challenges, but be careful, or Christina may become another victim. There's different puzzles on every path, and fourteen unique endings. This is an adventure/visual novel video game in which players control a teenage female protagonist who is having strange dreams while people are being murdered. Like traditional adventure games, the player must solve puzzles and minigames to progress through the story, but like visual novels, the player must choose the path that the story goes down in order to reach up to 14 different endings. Because some of the endings include romances with male characters, it counts as a ren'ai (romance) otome (for girls) game. The game uses anime-style graphics but is written in English. It was later made freeware. | ||

Bright shoots of the proletariat have degenerated into a vile tribe of "urban jackals" who passionately indulge in a new pastime - "divorce." When a good citizen strolls from the main street into the darkness of an industrial district, he will find immediately a group of friends in tracksuits interested in the time of day. Cultural communication ends no less than a cultural exchange - a voluntary transfer of cash and hours. Only our protagonist is not one of those who meekly endure injustice! It features: a criminal-comic style game in the style of Tarantino creations, 26 atmospheric landscapes, more than 120 cartoon clips, a cruel romance in an uncensored urban fringe, a lyric soundtrack in the style of gangsta rap, 10 memorable characters, and multiple mini-games that enliven the gameplay. | ||

| Fedora Spade Episodes 1-4 | Radical Poesis Games & Creations | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Episode#1 Prologue is the first game in the freeware Fedora Spade episodic detective adventure series. Released simultaneously with the second episode, it is quite short with about half an hour of gameplay and generally acts as an introduction to the series to familiarize the player with the gameplay mechanics. The game has menu-driven gameplay, inspired by the NES 8-bit classics Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom and Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken, but also with elements and humour from the more recent Gyakuten Saiban series or Snatcher. The player takes control of the hard-boiled homicide detective Fedora Spade who, between bourbons and cigarettes, tries to lead the department, as it was the only viable alternative next to flipping burgers. Armed with cynicism and brilliant insight during the few lucid moments, he has to solve cases to avoid having all funding withdrawn from the unit. The interface is divided into a graphical area where locations, characters and items are shown, a list of commands (move, look, talk, take, use and syst) and a dialogue screen at the bottom. In Prologue, Spade needs to investigate the death of doctor Sandy Fabulous. The game uses the Tomato engine, developed by Paul Eres in Game Maker. Episode#2 The Red Ring introduces a larger cast of characters to converse with and interrogate, as you attempt to solve the latest crime mystery with your sleuthing skills and persuasive charms. You're not alone in this adventure though, as a partner will tag along to provide even more humor if not some assistance. Unlike the first game, which was more of a short introduction to the series, this has longer gameplay. The game has a menu-driven interface, and now there are many more puzzles, characters, locations and clues. Progress is achieved by examining evidence and clues and then using them appropriately in conversations to lean on suspects. A small amount of the art, which consists entirely of still images, has been reused and most of it is entirely new. Spade can move between different locations using his car. The game also introduces a computer to search the police database for clues and covers two days in game time. Despite the serious theme, the characters have cheesy names and stereotypic personalities and behaviour, along with funny sound effects during the conversations. Episode#3 Death Wears A Fedora, is a new chapter in the continuing adventures of our favorite sleuth, and as usual the returning cast of Baldie, Daphne, Theo and Jules provides much humor to this investigative series. This release features a new fast forward option. Players can now skip portions of a conversation by holding down the C key. Compared to the previous games, the puzzles have become harder. Rather than allowing the player to try and use all clues until an answer comes up, many puzzles now require manual input and a thorough knowledge of the story with the paths to explore. Episode#4 The Last Job is the fourth and final game in the series and ties up some loose ends by revisiting a case mentioned in the earlier games: the Crimson April case about how Spade shot his partner Tex. Unlike the other games, this one cannot be completed through trial and error. Certain clues are shown in the environment and cannot be found otherwise. Also, players need to dissect the case and motives and are often prompted to directly type in an answer, rather than using items in the inventory. It has been split up into two parts, as separate game files. In the first part the player is Daphne Marshall, Spade's former partner who has left the force to become an assistant at Hunter Investments. She is soon suspected of killing her boss Rachel Hunter while she retraces the Crimson April case. The second part is played as Spade. Players cannot access it right away but need to answer a passcode in order to start the game. Spade mostly needs to prove Daphne's innocence and get the real culprit behind bars. There are many returning characters such as Baldie, Theo, Bong and Charlie, but also a lot of new ones such as ninja-masked flamenco dancer, the detectives Gianni and Versace, and the chief of police who is fascinated by playing the violin. Also, Daphne can access the computer in the office to do research, while Spade will need to do all the research in the field. | ||

This is a free German adventure in three chapters made with AGS. Chapter 1: Back in the World After a 60 years long sleep our hero awakes and notices that the world has changed. The cause has been a mysterious firestorm 6 decades ago. This is an adventure based on a nightmare of the author. Chapter 2: The Scary Train (2008) After a blackout, our hero awakes in a train which is used as a hospital now. Dr. Einzig tells him that many people have died over the last weeks - strange things are happening 60 years after the storm. A new player character helps us to understand the story better. This part is a bit longer than the first chapter, with better puzzles and better immersion. Chapter 3: Where the Forest Begins (2009) After he killed Wegener in self-defence, our hero follows the clues which leads him into a dark forest. There he will meet some people and he'll learn that this forest is full of unknown things. His destination is the old institute of science which is situated behind the forest. The story gets deeper and more complex but this game has slightly weaker puzzles and pacing than the previous one. There is a cliffhanger ending as well, but sadly no chapter 4 yet. | ||

The dead just never seem to catch a break. As if being deceased wasn't bad enough, sometimes you get stuck with a lousy boss and a challenging afterlife job. A "dark afterlife comedy", Ghost in the Sheet casts players in the role of a ghost who's wrapped in a dirty old sheet and sent out on his first mission to discover why a haunted factory called "Sector Omega" was forced to stop operations. Being a specter, your talents are paranormal rather than physical, and in order to discover the factory's hidden secrets, you'll need to develop your supernatural skills. The point-and-click adventure starts players off with a basic "Telekinesis" ability, but more will be introduced as you progress, including obsure skills like "Scary Sound". Along with its unique premise, it features high resolution graphics, largely non-linear gameplay that lets you freely explore and solve puzzles in different order, comic-style cutscenes, and various minigames. There is no dying (what with being dead already) or timed sequences in the game. | ||

| Ghost Of The Fireflies | Paul Panks | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Arguably boasting the most intriguing premise of any Paul Panks game, Ghost of the Fireflies sees the player initially directing the actions of Camphora, a phantom beetle, through the environs of Atsuta Jingu... plotting revenge against Sugawara no Michizane for reasons not initially clear. Navigating this tricky scenario is achieved with the assistance of Raiythius, a sassy Zen hellhound sidekick with a penchant for conveying enlightenment through physical pain and micturition. While the setting of this text adventure is quite explicitly and thoroughly Japanese, the game boasts even stranger cameo appearances than previous Panks games, including a suffering Jesus of Nazareth at the start screen, Bruce Lee as the shopkeeper (with Mr. Miyagi in the eaves) and founding father Ben Franklin, murdered for cheating in a gambling game with Wyatt Earp and his posse at the Oibara Inn. All this plus the game's author himself (hinting at some bizarre post-modern denouement) as the frontman for the house band the Singing Nobunagas! The gameplay, largely a matter of roving between areas picking up that which is not nailed down and killing that which can be overcome through physical combat (but now nearly featuring -- see trivia -- an alchemical magic system of sorts), doesn't live up to this extraordinary setup... but certainly the game steps out from the cookie-cutter fantasy accusations leveled at many of the author's other works. | ||

| Global Conflicts: Palestine | Serious Games Interactive | [top] | |

The complex history of the Israeli-Palestine conflict is often read in biased terms by all parties involved, creating a morass of different interpretations that can confuse anyone.It is within this intellectual chaos that Serious Games Interactive sets its first offering. Global Conflicts: Palestine attempts to go beyond educational games that add gameplay elements to rote learning and immerse you in the contemporary world of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as an investigative reporter. As you pursue the news, you come face to face with both the larger aspects of the conflict, such as the bombings, kidnappings and military reprisals, as well as the smaller aspects, such as the security checkpoints, poverty and discrimination. You assume the role of a freelance journalist who has just arrived in Jerusalem armed with a pen, a notepad and your sharp wits to get you through the challenges ahead. The goal is to create and get an article published for a newspaper by collecting quotes from the dialog in the game. The player can either get information by building up trust with each side or take a more confrontational approach to dig out information. In the end, the story with the most news-value will get the best exposure, but be careful what you print, it will affect your standings with both sides. No matter the approach or the chosen alignment, during the course of the game your beliefs and ideas about the conflict will be challenged. You will experience situations - taken from real life events - that are more complicated than outsiders may realize. | ||

Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community has been denied the truth about the teenager's recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. Fearing that Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort's return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students. But Professor Dolores Umbridge's Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army", Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.

This is a sardonic loveletter to the halcyon days of early American videogaming, packaged as a nail-rippingly difficult platform adventure. Players fill the role of The Kid, a youthful, vaguely Megaman-esque protagonist on a quest to become The Guy. This inscrutable plot, however, is just a vehicle for a wide variety of inventive, well-designed and frustrating jump-and-shoot challenges that pay homage to many of the games you loved as a child. The ever-fragile Kid explodes in a shower of red pixels at the slightest brush from the game's many obstacles, from traditional spikes and bottomless pits to more unconventional killers, such as plantlife and puzzle pieces. Using a multiroute layout not unlike a Metroidvania, the game grants a degree of deadly exploration, without those extraneous upgades meant to make life easier. The game provides players with a choice in terms of their deathrate, thanks to a variable difficulty setting that changes the number of save points from frequent to nonexistent. | ||

Little Busters! is a romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Riki Naoe. The main part of the story takes place at a high school in Japan. There is a "secret of this world" that Kyousuke speaks of; Kengo and Masato are also aware of this. The characters live in either the male or female dormitories on the school grounds which are across to each other. Beside the dorms is the main school building where classes take place, which also houses the cafeteria on the ground floor. The school is four stories and the roof is normally restricted from access. Beyond the main school building is the large schoolyard, with the pool area adjacent to the yard. On the other side of the field is the baseball field, with the gymnasium and tennis court beyond it, which are closer to the main school building.Much of its gameplay is spent on reading the story's narrative and dialogue. The text in the game is accompanied by character sprites, which represent who Riki is talking to, over background art. Throughout the game, the player encounters CG artwork at certain points in the story, which take the place of the background art and character sprites. When the game is completed at least once, a gallery of the viewed CGs and played background music becomes available on the game's title screen. Little Busters! follows a branching plot line with multiple endings, and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction. In 2017, an English Edition was released. | ||

You play as Grunk, a rather dim creature who works on a farm and who, evidently, loses a pig. Using your best typing skills, you must find your way through the forest and beyond to retrieve that darn swine. It won't be easy, since pigs in Grunk's world are not cooperative. Utilize your intuition (and maybe a little luck) and you'll find your way out of Grunk's mess in this hilarious and enjoyable game. What's great is that Lost Pig is on the lighter side. You'll find yourself laughing most of the time while gleefully wandering around. Grunk narrates the game in caveman-like diction, but this element never becomes annoying. It really serves to absorb you into the amiable character. The game isn't very long but offers up a relatively good challenge, particularly if you are unfamiliar with the genre. | ||

"Lydia's Heart" is a large, complex game with a serious tone and seven or eight NPCs you can converse with. The genre is low-key horror: There's almost no actual blood, but there are several ways to die in a very frightening way. Various bits of magical fantasy are included in a basically real-world setting. This game is version 2.0 of "Last Resort." The story is the same, but it's not simply a TADS port of the original -- there are more rooms and about 18 entirely new puzzles. The author recommends that you play "Lydia's Heart," not "Last Resort." You play the part of 14-year-old Diane Lindsay. You have been dragged off by your Aunt Caroline to a run-down motor court in rural Mississippi for reasons that are not initially clear. As you explore the motor court, you'll meet various creepy people and overhear a murder being committed. You'll meet a ghost named Lydia, who (if you can figure out how to make friends with her) will tell you why you've been brought here, and why you must get away before the afternoon is over. | ||

| Magicama: Beyond Words | Mulawa Dreaming | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

Magicama builds on the strengths of Xiama and Magnetic (hence the name) and endeavours to make use of the many comments received about the earlier games. Following the success of the different language versions of Magnetic, it was decided to make Magicama truly multi-lingual - it uses no words at all. It takes its inspiration from a caravan trip along the East Coast of Australia. 30 of the most exciting locations were chosen and photographed in full 360 degree panoramas. At each location, a box is hidden which contains a challenging and entertaining task for the player. Each task has several levels, usually increasing in difficulty. Help is always available but costs points. As usual, the game is supported by the Mulawa Dreaming Private Forum. This adds yet another dimension to Magicama in that players get to share the journey and their experiences - to many it is one of the highlights of the games. Magicama has taken well over two years to complete and this time it has been a truly solo effort. A journal was started almost on Day One and was kept going right till the end. It makes for fascinating reading to see the whole game creation process from start to end. This journal is available on the CD. On Jan/2017, the developers games were made freeware. | ||

This is an atmospheric, quirky, and well-drawn point-and-click flash game created to promote the Japanese studio... Makibishi! You play the role of Asashin who is searching for five ninjas hidden across five different environments. Each stage is a new and creative area with multiple puzzles and scenes to experience. Searching for hidden characters isn't always straightforward. In fact, rarely does it make any sense at all. In true anime-style, events in the story often have little or no connection, they just drop out of the sky, do their thing, and move on. A prime example is the bear charging from off-screen to fire a blast of energy at a gigantic gorilla. Logical? Nope. Entertaining? You bet. The level of creativity in the design is extraordinary. Not only are the levels crafted with unique gameplay mechanics (like the area where you rotate an entire planet), but exploring each one reveals loads of hidden gems that will make you smile. It's filled with humor, great puzzles, and loads of amazing artwork. The style feels very much like an interactive comic strip and paints a complete (and surreal) world for you to explore. | ||

Mondo Medicals comes from developer of Hotline Miami using Game Maker within 72 hours as an entry for a contest on the website TIGSource. The contest, bearing the theme "B-Games", challenged participants to create "bad games with great personalities". Welcome to Mondo Medicals. You have applied for research. You will help us help you. Help to find the cure for cancer. First we need to verify you. A test will perform this. We hold no responsibility for your safety. If you want to stop now... Don't stop. You do want to cure cancer don't you? this will just have to put you through eight grueling 'illogical' puzzle tests that force counter intuitive thinking. A simple example of such a puzzle is a hall with an arrow pointing down it, instead of following the arrow one would go the opposite way. However, such a logical illogical solution will not hold through all the puzzles. These tests occur in gray maze-like environments, that exude a dehumanizing lab rat quality, the goal being to find the areas exit. The only controls are movement, handled by arrow keys, and a generic 'interact' command, activated by pressing 'Z'. At the start of each test you'll be given some small clue as to how to solve it, often this clue is very vague or not immediately intelligible. Common elements of the tests are stenciled arrows on the floor, concealed doors, cubical buttons, and mobile walls. Constantly the sound of what seems to be a muffled heartbeat can be heard, most often accompanied by the rubbery thuds of your footfalls. After each mission you'll see a video of a man in black who'll tell you about his fight to cure cancer. These interludes are in 'engrish', and his tone is one of anger, pity, and menace. Just what sort of testing have you been involved in, what sort of place is Mondo Medicals? Mondo Agency A sequel to the bizarre Mondo Medicals, it's a peculiar, surreal game which pits you as "Agent-65386", who receives a mission to prevent the assassination of the President "before or after it happens". Before you'll reach the President, though, you'll have to get through several "Submissions" that will test your mind, sanity and reflex alike, forcing you to jump on disappearing platforms, avoid getting confused by clever illusions, and look out for attacking enemies. The game takes place in several dull, dark-gray environments set on surfaces floating in endless black void, inhabited apparently by a society of robot people with cuboid heads. Between Submissions, you are treated to the sight of a lone, robot figure, giving you a half-insane rant about the current situation or about some random topic. The game is played from a first-person perspective, with the character able to walk, jump and (after receiving a weapon) shoot things. The goal in each Submission is to activate the exit platform and enter it. | ||

Henry's grandfather is recently deceased and Henry is in New Orleans to wrap up his affairs. As Nancy's adventure unfolds, family secrets are revealed and questions abound. Bruno Bolet is the owner of the "Whisperer", a crystal skull whose supposed power allows its owner to NEVER die from natural causes. Legends claim that 13 perfectly carved crystal skulls are scattered throughout the world, each possessing a special power. Only a few have been found, unearthed in Mexico, Central America, and South America. The skulls are almost exact replicas of a human skull. No one knows how they were created or who created them. Scientists who have studied the skulls the are puzzled by their creation. The lasers and tools needed to create these skulls didn't even exist in the rule of the Mayans or Aztecs! In addition, crystals are always carved with the direction that the crystal naturally grows, but these were carved against the grain, which should have caused the material to shatter. A native American legend says when 12 skulls are arranged in a circle, with the 13th one in the middle, they will tell the destiny of mankind and reveal ancient secrets. Supposedly, crystal skull powers range from allowing holders to see into the future, granting happiness, or ensuring longevity. However, there is no proof that the skulls possess these supernatural abilities. | ||

Narcissu: Side 2nd is the prequel to the visual novel Narcissu, produced by Stage-nana. A preview version was sold at Comiket 70 for ¥200, and has since been released for free download. On May 15, 2007 the entire game was released and made available for download on stage-nana's website. The English version was released on March 31, 2010 by Agilis, after "close to 3 years of blood, sweat, and hard work." Like the Japanese version, this release contains both the prequel and the original. The translation was done in Proportional ONscripter, a fork of ONscripter and a clone of Nscripter, which supports English text as opposed to Nscripter which in turn, doesn't. Additionally, Side 2nd includes both games' soundtracks accessible from the menu of the game. The game serves as a prequel to the first game, the plot revolves around Setsumi, the female heroine from the original visual novel, and the people and circumstances that formed the character presented in the first game. Narcissu 2 is set about six or seven years before the events of the original Narcissu, while Setsumi was still just a regular outpatient living at home near the hospital. We meet Himeko, a former 7th floor helper at the hospital. Cheerful and full of energy, no one expected that she would one day be a patient in the same ward that she had spent so much time volunteering at. One summer day, while Setsumi was going to the hospital for an examination, Setsumi meets Himeko, and a long summer begins | ||

The Czech Republic based developer behind Black Mirror and NiBiRu, brings this game which has a dark, brooding story that will grip you from the start, not to mention significant improvements to the engine used in the previous Future Games titles. It all starts as an ordinary day. Adam casually gets into his car to head over to work. He expects nothing more than several dull hours before finally getting to spend time with his girlfriend. Just as he starts the engine, Adam is overcome by a quick flash of pain. For a moment, he can see nothing except for a bright white light engulfing him. The pain only lasts for a moment and then it starts to fade. Shaken and disturbed, Adam nevertheless gets on the road. He only travels a few short blocks when a gas truck comes charging down the street and crashes into Adam's car. There is nothing left but the eerie blinding white light. The accident should be fatal. Adam should not be able to make it out of the car alive. But destiny has other plans for the young man. When Adam opens his eyes again, he appears to be in a small hut. He quickly realizes that he is in a strange island with a number of people from different time periods. People are controlled by a mysterious bell. It seems no one can resist falling asleep upon hearing the ring. Inhabitants inexplicably disappear at night, never to be seen again. Cryptic messages around the island compel Adam to question and explore. What is the truth behind the island? Did Adam truly survive the seemingly fatal accident? Adam struggles to understand the mystery before he too disappears into the unknown. Answers appear and at once disappear in another ringing [of the bell]. The night comes. Will it be the last one? Or will there be another morning? The game uses the next generation of the AGDS engine. Realistic character animations aside, adventure gamers can look forward to nifty features like "emotions in [character] faces, ageing, and atmospheric effects." | ||

| Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy | Kheops Studio / MC2 | [top] | |

This game is set in 16th century Provence, in a country ravaged by religious wars and devastated by the plague. It has been three years since Catherine de Médicis' rule as regent came to an end, but she still holds the reins of power, making her the target of repeated attacks from the French nobility. One day in March 1566, when she realises that she has fallen victim to a terrible curse, she turns to her doctor and astrologer, Michel de Nostre-Dame, better known as Nostradamus. Unfortunately, the famous prophet is too old and weak to take on such a mission alone. Refusing to abandon his queen in her hour of need, he sends his daughter Madeleine in his place. However, there is no such thing as women astrologers, let alone women doctors in medieval times. To be accepted as such, the young woman must go in disguise and assume her younger brother's identity, César, who is away for some time. Alternating between Madeleine the young woman and Madeleine disguised as César, players are plunged into a thriller where political scheming and ancestral prophecies are intertwined. The game begins as an initiatory adventure in the footsteps of her father, the prophet and astrologer, before creating all the suspense of a detective novel: from one murder to another, players make their way through a test-riddled forensic investigation. Following in the same vein as The Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript, this is an historical adventure game in which players have to solve a series of riddles and puzzles inspired by the works of Nostradamus, taking them through the worlds of astrology, medicine and medicinal plants. Though the game does not offer two fundamentally different paths, "transforming" the main character gives players a unique alternative by allowing them to assume another identity, change sex (their appearance in any case) and use it to their advantage when interacting with other characters. | ||

The land has been contaminated by a reactor accident in this adventure with numerous references to the stories of the brothers Strugatsky. The game is meant for adult players. The sharp humor and narrative is by no means dressed Russian porn stars interspersed with very eccentric use of alcohol, drugs and sex toys that make it an opposing version of The Sims. You thought that Chernobyl is something serious? The characters involve the Olympics mascot and who really is the Stalker? How to escape from prison with the beaver and toilet paper? What conceals the walls of School No. 69? You have in your hands more than any other adventure. Waiting for you: deadly, often black humor, "naughty" language, and Russia's largest XXX movie star - Milena Lisicyna. Your character is every bit the mutant talking dog Bruno, one of the victims of an explosion in the reactor Czarnobobrujskiej Nuclear Power Plant. It's very difficult and full of original puzzles. The game is definitely not recommended for people with high morals or culture. | ||

| O Quarto / O Cofre | Andres Calil / Me Pixa | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

O Quarto (Portugese for 'the room') is a great looking point-and-click game. Once again you are trapped in a room and must search the area for items to help you escape. Navigate using the arrows at the bottom of the screen and click to examine objects. Look everywhere for items — underneath, behind and inside of everything. When you start collecting a few objects you can begin to combine them and piece together some puzzles. The item interface can be a bit clunky, but it's workable. Click an object in your inventory followed by the "eye" icon to take a closer look. If you want to use an item in conjunction with the one you're viewing, click that item, then click the screen. It has a very quiet, interactive painting feel to it. The visual cues and sound it plays when you discover an item is strangely rewarding. O Quarto also has a good sense of humor, though be warned that there are a few instances of words not quite safe for children. O Cofre uses the same engine with several notable improvements to the design and interface. The visuals are as smooth as ever, and the puzzles a near perfect blend of perplexing and forgiving. O Cofre comes with an extra bonus very few room escape games have: multiple endings! The inventory system has been upgraded to make item management a much easier affair. To mix items, simply click the "mix" icon to the right of the screen, then click the two items you want to combine. No more fumbling! And now, whenever a mini-screen covers your view with a close-up of an item or location, moving the cursor outside of the window restores your normal view. The atmosphere is decidedly darker as well, with mature-themed language and violence inserted to match the horror atmosphere. We're hoping the next installment in the "O" series will be a little more family-friendly to let more players experience the piece of gaming bliss the series brings. | ||

| Overclocked: A History of Violence | House of Tales / ANACONDA | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
From the makers of Moment Of Silence, this is an extraordinary story revolving around psychiatrist David McNamara and five traumatized young patients. The five young men and women are found barely clothed, the apparent victim of a traumatic act of violence, in the rain-drenched streets of New York City. McNamara is called to help as an expert psychiatrist. At the Staten Island Forensic Hospital he is tasked with treating the young patients – who all suffer from severe amnesia. Dave begins to carefully probe their memory, trying to reveal their obscured past. The innovative story-telling approach of Overclocked sees the player take on the role of the patients as they are questioned, playing and exploring their memories one by one. In reverse chronology, the player makes his way through the shards of their past and experiences frightening events that seem incoherent at first. The insights gained can then used back in the role of Dave McNamara to piece together the interconnections between the victims and open up new lines of questioning. In the role of McNamara, the player also explores present day New York, egularly meeting NYPD specialist Moretti in a bar close to his hotel to discuss the particulars of the mysterious case. English version is due in Feb/08. | ||

This is a humorous quest based on the cartoons of Andrey Bilzho. The game introduces us to Petrovich and other historical figures and how they are living today. Through 25 levels of the game, we find Pushkin, Grandfather Mazzei, Chapaev, The Gingerbread Man, Alien and many other characters.

The author has mastered all media, with appearnces on the pages of "Izvestia" and "Kommersant". Now he has a website, and at the same time tries an entirely new genre - in computer games. The game came up with its own language "plastiranto" to use. There is material enough in the idiocy of Petrovichas well as many other equally colorful characters. Here there are great Russian writers of school textbooks from literature, and book characters: pockmarked Gingerbread Man, Grandfather Mazzei and rabbits, goldfish, heroic Chapay and extremely aggressive Pinocchio. And also - the most common drinking companions of Petrovich, numerous lovers of his wife Mani, the new Russian boys and vigilant guards, and a gay marriage. It's a quest for an adult consumer, plus - an interactive collection of jokes, cartoons, portraits and recipes. Watch, play, laugh and look forward to continuing the banquet. | ||

This anime project is in the genre of visual novel interactive fiction. This genre is practically not represented in the post-Soviet space. So this game is only the second in the history of Russia.

RGB is another great-looking room escape game by Japanese developer neutral, author of the previous game Sphere. Not only is this game great looking, it plays exceptionally well with several puzzles that will perplex and confound you, though that won't take you long to solve. Use logic to solve the mysteries that await you in this room of RGB that includes a standard point-and-click interface with inventory, as well as two different ways to escape. Like its predecessor, the graphics really pull you into the game and give special meaning to "graphic adventure," a classic description for games of this type. Unfortunately, as the name implies, color perception is required for a couple of puzzles in this game, so you may experience difficulty getting out of the room if you experience colorblindness. An integrated save feature allows you to pick up the game later if you cannot finish in one sittting, and there are both English and Japanese versions available to play. | ||

This game continues the story from its two predecessors "Rhem" and "Rhem 2: The Cave", but can of course also be played without having played the previous two titles. Your task is to once again help the brothers Kales and Zetais to discover a new part of their fascinating world. After you have found a letter from Zetais with instructions you start the journey to Rhem once again. On your arrival you meet Kales who has discovered that a mysterious artefact, a black gem, is hidden somewhere on Rhem. Because the doorway must be opened by two persons but remains open just long enough for only one person to slip through, you are the only one accessing this new part of the island. Again, on your own you must uncover these new secrets of Rhem. You will soon find out that the mysterious black gem is not the only mystery on Rhem. You will discover new passages to unknown but also to familiar and well-known places on Rhem. To find the black gem you must for one uncover the hints hidden in the secret library. But you will also need the help of some other characters to solve all the mysteries of Rhem. Some of these characters, like the redcapped Cavemen, you already met in "Rhem 2". But this time they will ask something of you in return for their help. It sets you into a huge, fantastic world full of strange vehicles and buildings, unknown mechanisms and machines, secret passages and doorways. Adventuresomeness, logic, attentivness and the ability to solve engimas will help the player to slowly but surely unveil the mystery of this new adventure on Rhem. Everywhere on Rhem you can find hints and solutions that will help you to unveil some of the strange enigmas and puzzles in Rhem 3. And remember, finding the black gem can be the final discovery in Rhem 3, but it must not be. On Mar 25/2021, an upgraded Special Edition was released. | ||

In Simon the Sorcerer 4, Simon has spent the last few years as an ordinary teenager in the real world, and has almost forgotten about the events of the first games. At the beginning of the game, he meets Alix in a vision, who tells him that the magic world is in danger and needs his help. So Simon quickly reactivates his wardrobe and teleports to the magic world, where he discovers that it seems like he's been there all along. Alix ends her relationship with him (which he didn't even know about) and unknown characters greet him as if they had met him only a few minutes before. After the initial puzzles, it is clear that there is a doppelgänger around, and suddenly Simon finds himself in the midst of his new, big adventure. The gameplay will be classic point-and-click. Only the characters are in real-time 3D, while the backgrounds are prerendered. It's released in Germany so far. | ||

|
|
Written by Benoît Sokal, the maker of Syberia, Sinking Island is the first game in a planned series of adventures starring middle-aged private investigator Jack Norm. The third-person game takes place on a private tropical island that is literally sinking under the weight of the colossal art deco-styled hotel built upon it. In a classic whodunit with a twist, the hotel's billionaire owner is murdered, and there are ten suspects on the island, each with a strong motive for having done the deed. It's up to Norm to determine the true culprit. The catch? With the island sinking and the game occurring over a simulated three day period, lower level environments (and the evidence they contain) are only available until they're lost forever to the sea, so players will need to make best use of locations and time in order to succeed. English version is due Feb/2008. | ||

Speculum Mortis is a horror-influenced first-person point-and-click adventure. After a long work trip, the protagonist is driving through Middle-English country at night when he notices a hitchhiker. He takes her along and brings her to an old estate. Once inside the yard, the girl suddenly disappears and the gates leading outside are closed. The player has to find a way to leave the estate. The game is entirely controlled through the mouse. A left click examines the environment, while right clicking interacts. There is a limited inventory where four different items can be stored. Items in the inventory do not need to be combined and it is possible for the player to die. Gameplay largely exists of exploration. There are no NPCs to meet and the environment changes, with new locations opened up, as the player progresses. Except a few hues of gold and red, all the environments are presented in grayscale. | ||

Sphere is a great-looking room escape by Japanese developer neutral. The visuals have a wonderful polished 3D appearance that seem a bit surreal at times, almost as if you were inside a doll house. The challenge level is an almost perfect mix of vague clues and helpful hints that keep you interested without frustrating you. As the usual story goes, you're trapped in a room and need to find a way to get out. Navigate using the mouse and the arrows that appear on the sides of the screen. Search for items in every corner of the room, including beneath the furniture and in-between objects. A single click lets you pick up items and store them in your inventory. Some items can be combined, so experiment with everything you grab to see what turns up. Sphere isn't too difficult and the puzzles don't involve a lot of random clicking. The clues you'll stumble across do a great job of guiding you to the goal without being overtly obvious. A handy save feature lets you stop and resume at any point in the game. Sphere is definitely one of the best-looking room escape games on the web. The gameplay is smooth and the puzzles are just right, making it a great experience on every front. | ||

| Sterling's Gift | White Rabbit | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Fans of historical adventures can now get a glimpse back into the post-American Civil War era thanks to this release, the debut title from independent developer White Rabbit. Set in what is now the Neill-Cochran House Museum in Austin, Texas, Sterling's Gift tells a fictional tale of what happened in the house during the year it was used as a hospital by General Custer shortly after the war. The game revolves around a magical gift that a young blind orphan named Sterling gave to Libbie Custer for Christmas in 1865, which she kept secret from everyone but wrote about in her personal diary. In the game, the player discovers Libbie's old diary, and must thoroughly search the house, discover additional clues, and solve the puzzles that will lead to the secret of Sterling's miraculous gift. Played entirely with the mouse and presented in a series of photographs of the actual house, it should provide between 6-8 hours of gameplay according to the developer. | ||

This text adventure is an entry in the 2007 One Room Game Competition. You play a magician's servant who gets trapped in your master's vault; you'll need to learn some of his tricks if you want to get out. It was a nominee for Best Game at 2007 XYZZY Awards and was ranked in Top 50 at Interactive Fiction Top 50 of all time at the Interactive Fiction Database. The puzzle design here is very strong. Solving the game mostly involves acquiring, understanding, and finally casting appropriately magic spells made of sequences of magic words, each of which has its own unique effect. The game's magic system thus has an oddly lingusitic flavor to it that adds an extra dimension to the typical IF magic schemes found in games as old as Enchanter. In keeping with the game's fun-first approach, you are provided with always accessible notes about the various magical words as you acquire them, eliminating any need for memorization or notetaking and allowing you to focus on what you really want to be doing - stringing the words together in various sequences to see what they do. It's this process that gives the game much of its charm. Sometimes getting it wrong here is more fun than getting it right, due to the game's impressive level of simulation. | ||

King's Quest II ½ (SCS): A Tale of Two Kingdoms was going to be an unofficial fan-made game that was being developed by Solar Crescent Studios, however it was suspended in that form, and was then developed as a non King's Quest Game. The game as it was originally was being made, was to be set between King's Quest II and King's Quest III. You are Maeldun Whiteblade, who three years ago stopped the bloody conquest of King Vortigern. It's Autumn Equinox and celebrations are in order. The memories of the war with the kingdom of Theylinn have almost faded. You drink your mead, enjoy the delicious harvest and share horror stories of the Fair Folk with your companions. Perhaps from now on, life will be quiet and boring - just the way you have always wished it to be. But suddenly a messenger arrives, telling you that your old enemy needs your help. The goblins are attacking their border and if Theylinn falls, it might mean the end of your peaceful lands also. Troubled by these news, you accept the call for help. As you stand on the deck of the ship, you know deep inside of you that there is more to this than meets the eye. For hidden within the borders of Theylinn lies a second kingdom, named Thierna na Oge, where the faeries reign. As the ship arrives in the docks you put these thoughts away - it's time to meet your old enemy face to face. It's an epic faerie tale, reminiscent to the classic style of the famous Sierra and Lucasarts graphical adventure games. Featuring five different endings, several sidequests and alternate solutions, teamwork with non-player characters, 75 minutes of high quality music, a director's commentary and a romantic adventure story - ATOTK is a game that deserves to be played. A Deluxe Edition commercial version was released in Nov/2017 with a new interactive prologue, several graphic updates, and professional voice acting. | ||

Having spent more than 3 years in the making, this is a project which has the purpose of achieving a game in Flash, playable directly via the web, absolutely free. It is supposed to have, above all, a complexity and longevity like those games famous in this genre. The authors, who loved these kind of games, wanted to pay homage to these masterpieces, by creating an original and independent story. Everything in the story had to have a cause and a consequence for occurring. The "hero" of the story is an "average boy of a near future", who is forced to be involved with the plans of taking over the world by a group of aliens. He - the player - will have to find out how to save the world by thwarting the aliens' plan. It's in fact like a classical sci-fi movie or a japanese cartoon. The game has a musical setting that will cover the main points of the history of music of the last decades. Visually, the game is similar to the strange and schizophrenic style of "Day of the Tentacle", without exceeding into distortions and perspective styles. It has a vivid and saturated colouring, with different settings and styles. The personages' drawing style is changeable, from lightly caricatural to lacking of any anatomical sense. It is supposed to be similar to some icons of this genre to have an immediate recognizability. Everyone has his own different character, sometimes hilarious, sometimes ironic. | ||

This is a free point and click adventure game in the vein of old Lucas Arts games inspired by The Sandman ("Der Sandmann"), a story written in 1817 by E. T. A. Hoffmann. It was built using the "Lassie" freeware authoring engine and features beautiful visuals and atmosphere. Young Nathan has been sent by his university to deliver an important message to a retired professor. We are not initially told how or why the university knows this information, but the professor's life is apparently in danger, and Nathan must find him. He is sent to the professor's last known residence somewhere in the countryside, and he soon learns that he is not the only one seeking the professor. This is a very straightforward and accessible adventure game. It is not super difficult, making it very well suited to the casual adventure gamer. It has a very simple interface. There are 3 actions that you can take in relation to any object/person within the game, denoted by an interface of 3 icons (a mouth for talking, eyes for examining, and hands for using/picking up things). Hint: you can use the mouth icon on inanimate objects, for example to blow out a candle or to consume food or drink. The production values are very well done and manage to create a wonderful early 1900's atmosphere. The game is almost more enjoyable to look at than play, and the music is fantastic. In July/2015, a voiced English & Spanish version along with formerly commercial sequel A Stitch In Time with German subtitles was released in a free pack. | ||

| Yoomurjak's Ring | Private Moon Studios | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The municipality of Eger in Hungary was looking for new and perhaps unconventional ways to promote the town, so they launched a contest for creative ideas. Private Moon, the makers of the Agon adventures, gave a proposal of an FMV adventure set in the heart of the town and was chosen the winner. While exploring the town whose history dates back to the 10th century, and admiring its predominantly Baroque-style buildings built in the 18th century, you'll quickly be caught up in an engaging mystery that may just point to the existence of time travel. The story revolves around an American journalist name Jonathan Hunt, grandson of AGON's protagonist Samuel Hunt. Jonathan is on his way to Hungary after his mother's death, seeking to discover his cultural roots and make a break from his former life in New York. Professor Pál Ábray wrote letters to Jonathan's grandfather passionately defending the possibility of travelling through time, and hint at the existence of a device to prove it. Once in Eger, Jonathan meets up with an old man whose own grandfather had been an apprentice for Ábray until he disappeared suddenly long ago. Though presumed dead, the old man contends that his grandfather had in fact triggered the time machine and transported himself back to the 16th century, where he left clues of his presence — clues later discovered and recorded as the "fictional" character of Yoomurjak in Gárdonyi's famous book. Unfortunately, the old man dies before having a chance to fully tell Jonathan his story, leaving behind only some vague clues and a note imploring Jonathan to finish his research. It's a purely point and click affair played from a first-person perspective, with each node offering 360-degree panning. The backgrounds are all photographic, and the game's 600 panoramic views cover more than thirty locations, from Eger's historic fort to a minaret from the town's Turkish period to an immense basilica, to name just a few. Jonathan soon finds himself in pursuit of the titular ring that has a special significance to the time device but a local gangster is also on its trail. As you explore, you'll have to search for clues, collect and use items, and solve a variety of puzzles. Whether decoding ciphers, creating a coat of arms from various descriptions, preparing a 16th century bomb, or even working on an unfinished symphony by Schubert, there should be plenty to keep players busy throughout the course of the game's 20 hours of play time. Included in that timeframe is more than an hour and a half of filmed footage with over thirty professional Hungarian actors plus subtitles in other languages. In 2009, a digital download with English subtitles was released. | ||

If the player fails a section he can try it again instantly but he has to solve the whole case in one sitting. Most sections have additional goals which the player needs to fulfill, e.g. a time or damage limit. These restrictions change with the difficulty level which can be selected before each case.

In Aquaria, the player controls Naija, a lone underwater dweller, who is in search of her family. She explores a massive ocean world, teeming with life and filled with ancient secrets. In her journey she encounters various underwater creatures, travels from hidden caves to sunlit oases, and solves mysterious quests in underwater ruins and long forgotten cities of ancient civilizations. It is an action adventure game, heavily focused on exploration and puzzle-solving, with non-linear gameplay. There are many lifeforms with which Naija can interact. Some of them are hostile, while others are friendly, and some pay no notice to her. Interaction is accomplished by singing songs, which have various effects on Naija (shield, transformation into another form, etc.) and her surroundings (lifting heavy objects, opening plants, cracking eggs, etc.). It is also possible for Naija to obtain offensive powers to protect herself from some of the more hostile creatures in the game, and key battles against certain ancient foes are essential to progressing the storyline. To face dangers, Naija has to use the power of the verse. By right-clicking on her, eight notes of different colours are shown, and clicking them triggers a chant. By chanting the right tone at certain plants, Naija can collect items, and learn spells and recipes. In the style of Loom of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the notes can be combined into songs to cast spells. These form shields, can be used to lift objects or change Naija to different forms with new abilities giving access new locations. Right-clicking interacts with the environment and is used for attacking. In an items menu food and other objects can be used or cooked in combination to form new ones. During the game Naija also meets four pets that assist her and there are ancient turtles she can use to travel over large distances. The different environments are linked from Naija's home, a central hub. Hidden treasures found while exploring are used to decorated the cave or can be used as a costume. During gameplay, a mini-map is shown in the bottom right corner and it can be enlarged to a full map. The game can be saved using red crystals scattered around the areas and it includes a level editor to create new environments and modifications. It won the 2007 Independent Game Of The Year award for best game. | ||

Assume the role of Armado the armadillo and embark upon a great adventure to free the Queen of the land. The Queen is a Great Eagle, the last of an ancient race. While on a journey to visit the Queen, Armado learned of a growing darkness from the South; armies of giant ants marching Northward. They moved slowly at first, but eventually overwhelmed and colonized the legendary eagle nests in the mountains. Soon, the Queen herself was captured, and imprisoned. Just as Armado bowed his head and turned for home, he noticed an old fox. The fox was dressed in old tattered robes and told Armado that the Queen herself had foretold that he would meet a great hero at this very spot. Armado did not think for a moment that meant him. Then the fox handed him a satchel filled with magical eggs, and told Armado that one by one they must be placed into the ancient nests. Before Armado could speak the fox was gone in a puff of blue smoke. And so began Armado's quest to help free the Queen. This game is a front-scroller on rails, à la Crash Bandicoot. The character follows a curved path, rather than a straight one. | ||

Lovestorix is in love with Princess Irina but Brutus also wants to marry her. To solve this problem, the Princess decides that she'll marry whoever wins the Olympic Games. At the same time the evil Doctormabus has discovered a dimensional key with which he can open portals to parallel dimensions and with it threatens to destroy the balance between the worlds. But of course Asterix & Obelix come to the rescue and have to not only stop Doctormabus but also help Lovestorix win the games. Like in Astérix & Obélix XXL 2: Mission: Las Vegum you take control over both Asterix and Obelix and fight your way through hordes of Romans, building up combos with your punches and solving small riddles on the way. You can also change between controling Asterix or Obelix at any time. But since you are taking part in the Olympic Games, there are also several mini-games waiting which need to be beat in order to progress further in the story. These mini-games include things like Long Jump or Tug of War. These field events are played much like in Asterix and Obelix which means for example that you alternate between two buttons as fast as you can to run. Once you've completed an event in the story mode, you can also play these events seperately in Olympic Mode in which two players (or one player against the CPU) fight for the gold medal in each discipline. During the story mode you also collect helmets by destroying scenery objects or beating up Romans. These can be used to buy health or new combos ingame or unlock small parts of the movie. You also unlock new characters for the Olympic Mode as you advance in the story. Also the game neither directly follows the storyline of the comic nor the movie, the twist with the portals to the real world is used to also include some actors of the movie in the game. | ||

Immerse yourself in the magic atmosphere of Azur and Asmar thanks to this platform/adventure game based on the animated film of Michel Ocelot (who also did Kirikou). Azur, a blond boy with blue eyes, son of the lord of the manor, and Asmar, a dark haired boy with black eyes, son of Azur's nanny, meet again after having been brutally separated during their childhood. Both of them are determined to find the Djinns fairy they heard so much about when they were younger. In order to find her, they will have to foil dangerous traps, fight mean brigands and solve many enigmas. Alternatively, players will control Azur or Asmar and use their own specific capacities to make it to the next levels as varied as they are dangerous. There's 13 levels faithful to the film's atmosphere in varied locales: desert, palace, mountains, caves. Logic and ability will be necessary to find the Warm key or the Perfumed key and use their magic powers. There's also many different enemies and traps to overcome in order to succeed in the different missions. | ||

This is a short, side-scrolling action game, in which the player influences the movements of a cartoony bear character on its perilous way to its home. Using the mouse, the player can squeeze, pull and stretch the bear as it walks, helping it overcome various obstacles on its way, such as jumping across pits and boulders, squeezing through narrow tunnels, or extending its jaw to catch flying strawberries or apples for points. The bear can also magically transform itself into 4 special avatars, each with their own special skill, some of which are required at certain places in the game. The bear's opponents are cartoony snails and frogs, and pumpkin masks and bee-hives dropping from the sky, and the game features two boss encounters, that each require a unique strategy. The visual style is inspired by LocoRoco. It was nominated for BAFTA Ones To Watch Award for amateur developers. | ||

Bee Movie Game is an adventure/platformer based on Dreamworks' animated film, Bee Movie. In the game you control the star bee of the movie, Barry B. Benson voiced by Jerry Seinfeld as he zips through the crowded and dangerous streets of New York City, while building your class action lawsuit against the human race for their unscrupulous thievery of honey from bees everywhere. The controls are very simple - you use the arrow keys to move Barry and the number-pad keys 1 through 4 as action buttons. There's actually very little action to control, though - the gameplay consists of responding to on-screen prompts telling you which direction to go in order to avoid colliding with traffic, or which number button to mash to avoid situations like a soccer ball flying at you. You'll usually be given a glance at what's to come with a brief cut scene showing ways you could potentially be squished, and then thrust into action. | ||

The Beowulf video game takes players deep into groundbreaking director Robert Zemeckis' vision of the classic saga, Beowulf. Gamers live the life of Beowulf, the legendary Norse warrior with the strength of 30 men who is torn between the nobility and brutality within him. Arrogant, self-serving and lustful for gold and glory, Beowulf will journey to Denmark to destroy a bloodthirsty beast wreaking havoc on a frigid land. But evil persists, and Beowulf succumbs to its lure of even greater fame, quietly maneuvering to claim the Danish throne. As King, Beowulf must face the consequences of ambition, even as war descends on the realm. As Beowulf, players lead their men, called thanes, into battle, slay the Titans of a dying age and crush the enemies that threaten to annihilate both their kingdom and people. Only then, when Beowulf looks Destiny in the eye, will he know what kind of hero he has truly become. Delve even deeper into the adventure as gamers will play through 30 years of the Beowulf story not seen in the movie to experience more of Beowulf's life and mold their own legacy. Powered by the next evolution of the award-winning YETI technology used to create the critically acclaimed Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2, Beowulf delivers an unrivalled graphical experience. There's an army of up to 12 thanes to unlock as players increase their heroic experience (by saving thanes, killing giant monsters, etc.). Players use the thane army to their advantage by giving orders, assigning positions, tailoring weapons to the situation or enemy and by triggering in-game mechanisms. The thane army evolves with upgradeable weapons (swords, mace and spears), skills and abilities. Use legacy experience points to gain thanes, replace weapons and upgrade Carnal abilities. Carnal Power allows the use of stronger attacks and special weapons. Carnal upgrades include less daze after use and prolonged use of Carnal Fury. But if used too much, there will be grave consequences. Dynamic combat system including combos, parries and increasing skills as the player progresses. Grab ability allows Beowulf to hold on to walls or climb, as well as fight up close with visceral hand-to-hand combat against enemies and giant monsters. | ||

This is a side-scrolling action game, sort of like Far Cry in 2D. Play as John, a super soldier who fights against organized crime. Go on a tropical island alone to administer justice. You begin in a patrol boat with mounted heavy gun, but after you go on dry land. The first weapon is a 9mm pistol, which also acts as a sniper rifle. Accuracy, range and power of this weapon is simply killer, the exact opposite of the second of our scrap metal, a machine gun. Traverse the land, killing many enemies, looting houses in search of first-aid kits and use vehicles. The latter are few, starting from the boat, armored cars and ending up in tanks. There is a stealth and audibility indicator so when both are at a low level, we may be able to sneak up on enemies really close to where one shot will give justice. Opponents often throw at our feet grenades. | ||

Inspired by the "movie within the movie" finale of Walt Disney Pictures' box office hit film "Chicken Little", this features Ace, the superhero alter ego of Chicken Little, and the Hollywood versions of his misfit band of friends: Runt, Abby and Fish-Out-of-Water. The crew faces off against Foxy Loxy and her evil Amazonian sidekick, Goosey Loosey, who have an evil plan to take over Earth.

The original Chicken Little and his friends Abby, Runt and Fish we know from the film are featured in cut scenes throughout the game. Chicken Little receives a copy of the latest video game starring his super hero alter ego and invites his friends to come over and play it with him, in effect creating a "video game within a video game".

Four unique modes of game play include: Ace on foot as a soldier, Runt as a tank commander, and Abby as the pilot of a spaceship and hovercraft.

Created using the RPG Maker XP engine, this fan-made survival horror adventure game was released in Japan in 2007 and an American group called "Memories of Fear" translated it to English in 2012. It is a prequel to an influential horror game, Corpse Party (usually known under the abbreviation Dante 98), made by Makoto Kedouin and released for the NEC PC-9801 home system in Japan on April 22, 1996. The games feel like a mix of Clock Tower and Sweet Home, if you want some examples. The original game has seen multiple remakes and has gotten a few sequels and a spinoff in addition to manga and OVA series. Corpse-Party Zero is a sequel which stars two sisters mentioned only in passing in the original Corpse-Party, Kaori Hasegawa and Shiho Hasegawa, who try to escape from the cursed senior high school. | ||

This is a "casual" remake of the classic hit, Defender of the Crown. Set in post-Norman Conquest England, it puts you in the shoes of a Saxon lord - with the ultimate goal of eliminating all rival lords and reuniting the kingdom. Once again, the core gameplay consists of a territorial conquest game on a map, similar to Risk. Buy armies and garrisons made up of five different types (infantry, knights, crossbowmen, bowmen, and catapults) and fight tactical battles against your foes. Tactics cards can be won in battle or purchased with gold and then played in these battles, giving special bonuses that enhance your army or weaken your opponents. Mini-games break up the conquest game and bring rewards of either gold or fame. These mini-games include jousts, archery contests, castle raids, princess kidnappings and rescues, and castle sieges. Of course, Robin of Locksley is still available to offer his assistance (up to three times) to Saxon lords, but beware: this time around, the Norman lords can call on the Black Templars for aid as well! | ||

| Doraemon: Nobita’s Resident Evil | aaa | [top] | |

This is a parody of the Biohazard series featuring the cast of Doraemon. Despite being a parody, the game is surprisingly well done. Considering the fact that most RPG Maker games are adventure or rpg games, this one features a solid action battle system, with enemies from the Resident Evil universe, as well as adding some custom enemies. Since then, many people have modified the game and spawned many mods and scenarios which not only expands the Nobihaza universe, but adds some new interesting mechanics and gameplay. After a holiday on a foreign island, the cast of Doraemon, including the protagonist Nobita Nobi, finds themselves in a living hell when most of the neighborhood have either turned into flesh-eating zombies or been killed by them. After the immerse shock from losing his parents, Nobita runs away from the horde of zombies and takes refuge at the school in which he attends. There, he finds fellow survivors: his best friends Gian, Suneo, Shizuka as well as original characters Seina, Kenji, Toby, and Kaneda. The survivors decide to split up and search the school for an escape route. However, the further they progress, monsters become stronger, and more casualties are made. Nobita finds himself facing the deepest secrets under his own school involving the Umbrella Cooperation, its mutating "Tyrant Virus", and most shockingly, the facts that some of his best friends are not what they seem to be. The game was not known to westerners when it was first released despite its popularity among Japanese indie gamers. In 2014, Naoya Kiriyama provided the translation for the game. | ||

It includes all the features of Journey to Rooted Hold, plus a complete new official hold with in-game dialog, 3 new design styles, and further enhanced customizability and networking. Cutscenes support, lighting system and variables that allow non-linear plot progression are the most prominent new features of DROD:TCB. Two Smitemaster's Selection sets were released so far, these being: Devilishly Dangerous Dungeons of Doom and Smitemaster for Hire. In Roger Barnett's "DDDD", after Beethro learns a terrifying secret at Lowest Point in DROD: The City Beneath, he seeks to warn everyone of the danger. However, the Empire seeks to block him at every turn. Beethro learns a devilishly dangerous dungeon stands in his way to the one person who might listen to him and do something about it. Join Beethro Budkin in a raucous romp of alliterative allegory in this hilarious hold filled with six loopy levels of fantastic fun! Smitemaster for Hire contains two puzzle-packed holds from master architects Jason Fedor and Rasmus Björling. Suit Pursuit is of medium difficulty. It picks up where Devilishly Dangerous Dungeons of Doom left off. Beethro is making his way back to Rooted Hold to learn about the Grand Event, but someone in the Empire seems to not want him to know a about it. This time, a border checkpoint requires him to start taking his Imperial "profession" seriously. Hilarity - and a lot of smiting - ensues. A cast of new and old faces make an appearance along the way. Complex Complex is a difficult hold that harkens back to the days when Beethro is running his famed Roasted Roach Grill after clearing out King Dugan's Dungeon. Beethro receives a call to infiltrate the secret base of a rogue architect. The price is right, but when Beethro finds himself pinned between two warring factions, will he find he has bitten off more roach meat than he can chew? | ||

| Hoshi Saga Series | Yoshio Ishii / Nekogames | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
From the creator of the Submachine series comes this point-and-click adventure series. Hoshi Saga (May/2007) - is a simple game of discovery. One part point-and-click and one part puzzle game, the objective in each of the game's 36 stages is to find the star. How you go about doing that is different for every stage. The task is up to you to figure out how. There are 25 stages to explore freely as you wish, with another 11 stages that must be unlocked by completing rows and columns of stages that appear on the stage select menu. The menu also shows the relative difficulty for each stage represented by a number of highlighted stars (out of 5). It combines unique interaction design with simple yet effective graphics that together form an engaging and compelling experience. Some stages are easy and that's the hook. Once you discover how simple and yet irresistible these unique little puzzle games are, you'll be coming back to this again and again until you've solved them all. Thankfully an integrated save system is employed to save your progress across sessions. Hoshi Saga 2 (Sep/2007) the goal remains the same: find the star in each level. There are 36 new levels to discover, and the level numbers pick up right where the first game leaves off. None of them are very difficult, but some may stump you for a bit until you figure out what it is you need to do. Hoshi Saga 3 (Sep/2008) - In this edition, there are 20 stages to explore freely as you wish, with another 16 stages that must be unlocked by completing rows and columns of stages that appear on the stage select menu. Hoshi Saga Ringo (Jan/2010) - while it might not be as difficult as its predecessors, Ishii-san brings new life to the game with his beautiful artwork and use of gradients. This one is in color. As before, each puzzle asks you to click and drag your way to finding a star hidden within each screen. Feel free to click around and explore each level to find each solution. This episode contains 25 new puzzles to solve. Sadly, if you were a fan of the difficult five-star puzzles in past iterations of Hoshi Saga, you'll be a bit disappointed, as the highest-ranked puzzle here is two and a half stars. Hoshi Saga Ringoame (Apr/2010) - This one has more full-color artwork in 25 brand new levels. This is an excellent warm-up exercise to get you used to the sort of puzzles seen throughout the series. Hoshi Saga Ringoen (May/2011) - While there are 25 different scenarios to solve, only 16 of them can be accessed immediately. You will need to solve the first four levels in each row across to access the fifth level in that row, and you will need to solve the first four puzzles in each column down to access the fifth as well. Hoshi Saga Ringohime (Sep/2011) - This has another 25 new stages to clear. The artwork is gorgeous with its soft and striking watercolor hues and textured backgrounds. Hoshi Saga Dokuringo (Oct/2011) - This latest set of levels contains some risqué imagery, as well as some way more difficult stages. Inside you'll find 25 new stages to clear, made up of images from the previous "ringo" games with all new puzzles (and mini-games) designed for them, and all you need to do is find the star. | ||

| Knight Lore Remake | Devilish Games, Retrospec | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This was initially a classic action puzzler on Spectrum computers in 1984. While never released officially on pc, fans have made a couple of remakes. Our hero must reach Melkhior, a somewhat eccentric wizard who is the only one who can save him. As with most Ultimate titles of the day, reaching him is a long and treacherous challenge, involving both puzzle-solving and action, meaning that each screen requires thorough planning and precise navigation. The game uses the isometric viewpoint in a manner similar to the later Head Over Heels, using monochrome but detailed graphics and techniques to avoid flickering sprites. It was regarded as a revolutionary title and was the first of the "isometric adventure" genre, by displaying a detailed 3D world using that isometric perspective. The game lasts for 40 days and nights - at night your character turns into a werewolf. Ultimate's individual style of eschewing straightforward instructions in favor of feature lists and riddles is put to good use here, with the story detailed in a rhyming poem of sorts. The Devilish Games remake uses cartoonish graphics while the 2010 Retrospec version has more 3D graphics. | ||

| Knytt Stories | Nicklas Nygren / Nifflas' Games | [top] | |

|
|
Knytt Stories, the sequel to Knytt, is a jump-and-run platformer with a distinctive minimalist art style. It is set in the same universe as the previous game and incorporates the same gameplay mechanics. Unlike its predecessor, there is not a single scenario, but multiple stories divided over different game types such as Tutorial, Challenge (skill-based), Puzzle (focus on thinking), Maze (large and confusing levels), Environmental (no monsters, puzzles or challenges - just landscape), Playground (practice) or Misc (other levels). There are multiple difficulty levels that influence the items' placement. The base game comes with a tutorial and a single scenario: The Machine. It focuses on Juni, one of the Knytts. The environment around her suddenly changes to a desolate wilderness. She receives a letter from Henna who tells her about a machine inside a cave, guarded by a monster. Juni needs to find a way inside and bring the beautiful landscape back. Gameplay is largely based on exploration and platform jumping. The Knytts can jump, climb and turn red when there are enemies nearby, but have no means of defence. New abilities include an umbrella to slowly float down or up, a double jump, hologram and a ghost mode to view invisible items and platforms. Not all of these are usually available right away. Players need to collect power-ups to activate them, even to jump higher or to climb walls. Some levels also have coloured keys that lead to secrets and there are more enemies than in the original game. Players are encouraged to design their own stories with the included level editor. Soon after the release, Nicklas Nygren released a first expansion pack himself, with the levels A Strange Dream, An Underwater Adventure, Sky Flower and This Level Is Unfinished (its "unfinished" state being an actual part of the level design). | ||

| LV-426 | Derbian Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
LV-426 is a remake of an old first-person strategy game called 'Aliens'. The original game was developed by Software Studios and published by Electric Dreams in 1987 for the following platforms: Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and MSX. The game is based on the second movie in the Alien movie series. I wanted to re-make Aliens because it was one of my old favourites, and probably the scariest game of its time. The game was very innovative and tense due to the use of a first-person view and having to control a whole squad of marines. In my opinion, it really captured the atmosphere of the movie. The action takes place in first-person perspective, with you seeing the view through the helmet camera of Ripley and the Marines. You move the crosshair of your pulse rifle to track the aliens or turn around in a room, with the camera following the gunsight. I've tried to keep the remake as faithful as possible, but there are a few changes here and there, plus updated graphics and sounds. The game includes a split screen mode allowing two players to play cooperatively. It is also possible to create your own custom 6-member squad out of all the marines in the movie, each having varying attributes. Other changes include a minimap that makes navigation a lot easier. Some parts of the game, such as room positions and wall tile locations, are exactly the same as in the original game. In fact, if you happen to have a map of the original game, it is still perfectly suitable for the remake. Contact is lost with the colonists on the planet LV-426. Ripley reluctantly agrees to accompany an elite squad of Space Marines to the distant planet to investigate the situation. On arrival they find an eerie, deserted base bearing signs of a savage struggle. It is your task to control her and the squad to penetrate the base and rescue the survivors, if there are any... The crew have set-up a Mobile Tactical Operations Bay (MTOB) in the Armoured Personnel Carrier, just outside the colony base. You will remain here and direct the other crew members around the base using the MTOB to monitor their progress. As darkness descends, Alien warriors enter the base where you and your companions are waiting. Nervously flicking the safety catches off your smart guns, you advance... | ||

Controlling a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the evil, long-dead Overlord, the player emerges, near death, from the ruins of the old Overlord's Dark Tower. Only the player's actions will determine if they will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it's all down to how much of a bad ass they want to be in order to succeed... evil or really evil. Played out with plenty of black humour and dark irony, the game will immerse players in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters. Overlord's key innovation is the introduction of an array of impish creatures – the Minions. They believe you are the old Overlord reborn and will use their unique skills to fetch, fight and die for you. Throughout the game players will actively control a horde of these gremlin-like critters and they'll follow your every instruction no matter how despotic or, for the Minions, life threatening it is. | ||

Access to each abyss is via a portal, which opens once a kingdom has been successfully conquered and the previous ruler banished to a personal hell within. However, it's not just the fallen heroes that have been dragged into the abyss; the Overlord's newly loyal peasants have also been taken down into hell too. With the undead denizens of each abyss on the attack and threatening the Overlord's reign above ground, there's only one thing to do about it: assemble a minion army, descend into each abyss and embark on a fresh wave of tyranny in order to return the serfs to their homelands, defeat the fallen heroes once and for all, and claim the throne of each kingdom's underworld. | ||

This is the first game to tie into the events of both the second and the third films (as well as introducing new legendary pirates, locations and unique endings). Combat is full of Sparrow-esque flamboyance: sweeping enemies' legs out from under them, evading by rolling over an opponent's back as he charges in, and of course, over the top finishing moves such as slamming a foot down on a floorboard so that the other end swings up into your opponent's face. Jackanisms tie in with another central theme of the game; you must "Live and die by the sword". The sword is the most important tool in the game. It's not just for combat, you can also use it in a variety of interesting ways - to ride a flying fox, to jam into a sail and ride the rip to the ground, to create a grapple point in a wall (think PoP: The Two Thrones), for puzzles, and naturally, to save your hide. If you're walking along a narrow beam and fall, Jack sticks the sword into the beam, saving himself. Similar deal if you're fighting on a ship's deck on rough seas - the sword can be the difference between going overboard and living to tell the tale. You can even dip your sword in tar and set it on fire. There will also be large scale battles in the game with Jack, Will and Elizabeth all battling tooth and nail, with the player able to swap between them at will. There's also a heavy dose of exploration and puzzle solving, with a number of side-quests as well. | ||

This is a 2D platform/puzzle game based on magnetism made by students from Carnegie Mellon University. The goal of the game is to navigate environments and solve puzzles by using your suit's magnetic properties in interesting ways. You can attract to and repel from objects, instantly switch magnetic polarity, or even boost the strength of your magnetic field for added abilities. To succeed, a combination of thinking and reflexes are necessary. The focus of the game is a mix of puzzle and platforming segments, but there is no combat. The only obstacles are electrically charged surfaces, although checkpoints are very liberal, and the player never really has to repeat content. The game was developed to be played with the Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller for Windows, but it also supports keyboard controls as well as most other types of PC gamepads. It was a winner of the student showcase at the Independent Games Festival in 2008. | ||

You can also go back to a chaotic Kingdom and go on a journey of adventure and romance. The daughter grows with the player's mind. Let's decide on how to raise your daughter with your curfew, balance of study and play, etiquette, and so on. She will act in accordance with the Education Policy that you can set out every month. If she comes home late, she may be able to hang out at night, but become sociable. Playing too much makes her neglect her studies. Your way of raising will determine your daughter's future whether it is sparthan or laissez-faire. On weekdays, your daughter goes to school. The schedules at school are fixed but it is up to you, the parent, to decide what to do after school. If she goes to academy, she can raise a lot of abilities but it requires money. She can do the same by making money with part-time jobs but there are different abilities depending on the type of academy and part-time jobs, so care must be taken not to cause stress. Daughter's condition at a glance with MOE (Motion OF Emotion) system. The SD character displayed in the daughter's room reflects the daughter's abilities, personality, condition, and interests. She is lying in bed when she is not feeling well, and may often take a sigh of relief at times when stressed, and shout at a doll from time to time. It's fun to see a cute SD character moving around the room. This is a new AI system called MOE. She can be a tomboy with the concept of Personality Parameter or Puberty, and sometimes she becomes rebellious, expressing a more human form. Variety of clothes - When talking to your daughter, your daughter's graphics are displayed on the screen. At this time, you can change the clothes your daughter is wearing. If she dresses up to TPO, she'll stay in shape, and when she dates, the evaluation of the opponent will change. As you play the game, you get more clothes. Attention to the changes of your daughter - As your daughter grows, her body shape changes. Also, don't take your eyes off your daughter's daily changes as her facial expressions adjust to her changes. Numerous characters and events - In order to describe the modern stage and the fantastic world view, we needed more various parameters and a character surrounding them. In eight years, more complex human relationships are made up of about 100 characters, which are the biggest in the series. Some of them develop friendships, or being rivals for love, living in another world, and you'll find a couple of old faces if you have played the previous game. Of course, there are plenty of endings to match the modern- and another world with the greatest play time of the series, so you can play it multiple times for fun. Originally released in Japanese, in 2018 an English Steam version was released. | ||

As Recette, you have to decide how you'll get your stock - either through playing the markets in town or going out into the wild with an adventuring friend and thrashing beasts until they give up the goodies - how much to sell things for, what the shop should look like, and how to best go about getting the money Tear needs to pay off the loan. If you can't come up with the money... well, hope you like living in a cardboard box. Key features: Manage all aspects of an item shop – from stock to interior design; Explore randomized dungeons – never quite the same twice; Multiple adventurers to choose from when dungeon-diving – no two play the same; Plenty to do after beating the game – challenge yourself with Survival Mode or play to your heart's delight in Endless Mode; Engaging story, localized by Carpe Fulgur – get to know the people of Pensee.

| Revenge of the Sunfish | Jacob W. Buczynski | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The game was made using the Games Factory and most of the graphics were hand drawn using MS Paint. It contains different styles of game play including platformer, shoot em up, obscure puzzle elements and some horror elements. It gained notoriety for its psychedelic visuals and lack of coherency. It's set in a peaceful galaxy which has come under attack from (you guessed it) Sunfish. You are the unexplained hero who must thwart their evil plans and save the galaxy. Doesn't sound too insane? When you start the first level, notice the appalling graphics, grating music, and lack of character animation. Upon reaching the second level, you will probably start to think the developer is particularly disturbed. After that, you will realize this game was merely created for the author's own odd amusement. You may find yourself laughing at the over the top cartoon violence, disturbing images, and its lack of structured gameplay. Unlike most games, ROTSF can be beaten almost entirely by dying on most of the levels, this is because dying takes you to the next level anyway. This is considered by the author to be a feature. | ||

It's the year 2097 and after a long civil war California finally got its will and split with the USA. Under the reign of dictator and media mogul Lou Baxter the newly formed state declared to be the Republic of California. Of course the masses aren't very happy to live in a police state so Lou invents the TV show "The Show" in which political enemies and dissidents need to fight "for their freedom" as he calls it. In reality they are basically just getting slaughtered in front of the cameras. As you might guess, the democratic east doesn't tolerate this and sends in Major Frank Harris who infiltrates the show in order to destroy it from the inside. So you take control over Frank Harris and Team Outlaw and fight your way to the generator that powers the island on which "The Show" takes place. The island actually consists of several platforms that are several kilometers high, 500x500 metres in diameter and float in front of the coast of California. The top of a platform is covered with holo-emitters which allow Lou to form totally different conditions for every match. The modules themselves are hollow and contain all the prisoners and the equipment. This means you need to build several kinds of elevators for infantry and mechs in order to move these reinforcements to the top and into your fight. The resources needed to build new buildings and recruit new units are Credits, Energy and Communication channels. While you need to build generators to get Energy and upgrade your elevator and headquarters to increase the number of available Communication channels, the only way to get credits is to conquer the outposts on the map. But you can't conquer them any way you want to. They are all connected with one another and your are only able to conquer outposts that have a connection to another outpost you own. The outposts are also a fast way of transportation since you can send in your units at one outpost and then order them to get out of another one you own. You do not only fight on top of the platforms but also inside of them because your goal still is to destroy them all. Often you receive a special mission in which you need to take a group of infantry, while you are fighting in front of the cameras, down into the heart of the module and for example retrieve a communication device so that you can communicate with the mole inside "The Show". The game features ten multiplayer-maps for four players with three different modes: Conquest, Sudden Death and Co-op. Conquest is the normal Deathmatch in which you need to destroy the all the enemy headquarters on a map. Sudden Death plays much faster than Conquest because the goal is just to conquer an enemy outpost before the enemy conquers one of yours. Co-op is basically Team deathmatch which means that you play with a friend against another team of two players. The goal is again to destroy all enemy headquarters. | ||

This takes a completely different approach to the city-builder theme and distance itself from the economy-simulation that SimCity 4 was. Instead of laying out different zones and caring for the infrastructure, you now place every single building by yourself. But also you technically only need money to do so, each building also produces or needs one of the six resources to function. These resources include productivity, prosperity and creativity. So if you built a normal three storey house which needs prosperity to function, it won't work until you also build for example a bank which produces prosperity. What resources you need also depends on what type of city you want to build which range from a normal town over industrial cities to a cyberpunk metropolis. To make the process of building a specific type of town, the buildings can be filtered for the different city-types. Since you don't need to build water or power-infrastructure, it's only required to place a power-plant somewhere and it will automatically supply all the buildings until his reserves are maxed out. Then it's time to build another power-plant. But you still need to build streets, subway-systems and other public transportation. The Sims will come also automatically into your city once there's an open room available regardless if you cared for their needs like schools or police. The important thing is to keep them happy by giving them a place to work and other things to do like a baseball-stadium. Many of these pleasure-buildings also feature a special event which gives your Sims a short happiness-boost and makes them more productivity for a short period of time. In the case of the baseball-stadium it's the Nickel Root Beer Night. But these buildings and events can also be a danger to your citizens by having a greater chance of being injured during it. Although the game is still open ended, there are some achievements in forms of medals and trophies waiting for you and at the beginning of the game you first need to unlock all of the buildings in normal play before you can use them in freeplay or god-mode (unlimited money). The criteria range from simple tasks like having a big enough population to more detailed and mixed up requirements which include population, happiness of your citizens and a fixed amount of resources.

Life Stories is the first title in the The Sims Stories series, part of the larger Sims franchise. Unlike the main The Sims 2 game, which offers open-ended gameplay, this title focuses on the life of 2 characters, Riley Harlow and Vince Moore, and the game mechanics are more reminiscent of the console ports. The player needs to guide 2 characters through a more or less linear story, with set goals to achieve and through the use of scripted sequences. Each character has an independent, pre-defined story, and upon completion a classic mode is unlocked, where the player can create a new character with much more freedom and open-ended gameplay. In Riley's story, she is evicted from her house in Sim City and moves to her aunt's house in Four Corners to start a new life. She will get to meet the neighbours and Mickey Smith, who soon becomes her love interest. Vincent Moore is a business tycoon from Bitville who breaks up with his girlfriend Samantha Hayden after proposing to her. He too will fall in love, with Naomi Hunt, but there are business rivals to take into account. The game has been optimized for laptops through the controls and by not requiring an independent graphics card. Gameplay wise, this the same Sims 2 you know and love. You'll control your Sims' every action, from washing dishes and watching TV to going to work and going to the toilet when appropriate. Adult Sims can have kids, and all Sims age, grow, and eventually die. You can trigger all sorts of nasty things to them in the process, with fires and the like, if your tendencies are more destructive than constructive. There is an array of objects and decorations to buy, and you can build your Sims' houses with a variety of wallpaper and carpet options. In this, nothing has changed between Life Stories and the core titles. | ||

You'll also be on first name terms with Cratwell, Pascha Rose and Stump-Leg. Despite its name, QI Presents: Strictly Come Duncing has very little to do with dancing, and absolutely nothing to do with presents.

Players (known as 'Duncers') can play up to 36 differently themed quizzes, each of which contains 10 multiple-choice questions. You can either do battle with a friend (or in two teams) or challenge QI's permanent Dunce In Residence, Alan 'Duncing Queen' Davies. The player to score the most points in each quiz becomes QI's reigning Dunce Champion. A word of warning though: at each and every turn, you will meet cunningly disguised 'General Ignorance' questions. Although you will think you know the answer, nothing is ever as it seems. Packed with hundreds of jokes, fascinating facts, music tracks and photographs, it will keep Duncers of all ages entertained for hours. Special Features: Play against a friend (or in two teams); Play against Alan Davies (single player); 36 unique quizzes; Over 300 music tracks; Outtakes and bloopers; Over 300 exclusive photographs. | ||

The esteemed Mario Bros. laid low by a chronic case of Wii-itis, a new set of run-and-jump platformer heroes are called upon to rescue PETA spokesperson Pamela Anderson (in a smashing Princess Toadstool ensemble) from the sinister clutches of no less than Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Colonel Sanders! The player chooses one of these two sisters, baby chickens Nugget or Chick-ette, and heads into action to rescue Pam and save the day. The gameplay follows SMB's platformer conventions very closely - boxes shatter when jumped into while large, question-mark boxes yield a healthy block of tofu allowing the chicks to grow larger and gain a second hit, and instead of coins players now collect 100 flying chick-heads in order to gain a 1UP. Through some five levels (outdoors, the Colonel's mansion, slime pits, jungle, and a mechanical abattoir hell) the player guides the chosen chick sister up vines, chains and trampolines, down pipes, and swimming through water and murky gunk, jumping on the backs of robotic spiders wearing Col. Sanders masks (the only regular enemy type), avoiding falling down bottomless pits (and into vats of frying oil) and touching a KFC flag at every level's end, replacing it with a PETA standard -- all within a time limit ticking down from 900. Some differences include educational conversations the protagonists conduct with bystanders, spelling out appalling conditions of factory-farmed chickens, as well as humourous cut-scenes of Mario's misguided attempts to catch up and save the day and an absence of Super Mario's further power-ups such as the fire flower or invincibility star. The final stages step up the challenge with dangerous or disorienting environmental hazards including fans to blow jumps off course, crushers to flatten chicks, and conveyor belts to complicate even simple pedestrian locomotion. The game concludes with a Bowserian boss fight, following which Pamela Anderson can be unlocked as a playable bonus character! | ||

When the evil criminal mastermind Professor Duriarti captures and clones farm animals to do his evil deeds only one cow can stand up to his treachery - Supercow! This is a fast paced platform game where your main objective is to rescue all the kidnapped animals who've been transformed into monsters. There are 47 levels to this game and the levels are split within 10 stages. As Supercow, you must dash through levels and collect various treasures and stomp on enemies to kill them. Naturally there will be enemies who will need a different tactic to defeat them such as the porcupines who will require you to have hyper-hoofs to be able to safely stomp on them. There are a few other power-ups within the levels such as a super jump and an invulnerability sphere. Naturally there are also health and life power-ups. Besides the typical patrolling enemy the player will also need to be on the lookout for flying enemies such as birds, suspended enemies such as spiders and of course traps and mechanisms of the levels themselves. Mechanisms such as giant blades will drop from a ceiling to cut the player and there are also a few pitfalls and flame-pits. To aid you through levels there are many jumps placed but of course these can be also detrimental if you are not careful where you are jumping up to. Also there are automated ramps and terrains of different properties such as icy levels. Some parts of the levels contain garbage bins and trash heaps which you can stomp to transform into flowers. Not all levels require you to just find the exit, some require you find all the hidden keys or destroy all enemies. Defeating all the enemies of a level can also reward you with a trophy as will many other accomplishments which are prominently displayed in your in-game trophy room. Controls are pretty basic in that you can run left or right and you can jump. The simplicity of this control scheme and the speediness of the levels allows the player to feasibly play the game using a mouse by slightly pulling the mouse to either direction and clicking to jump. | ||

One of the penguins, codenamed Pablo, doesn't like the idea and escapes, only to find himself fighting against the whole clone penguin army, leaded by Pedro, another cyber-penguin. The fate of the world is in Pablo's... er... flippers! TAGAP is a 2-D platformer shoot-em-up, but it plays more like a first-person-shooter than traditional genre game. Keyboard is for movement while guns are handled with mouse. Speaking of weapons, there are plenty to choose from: Uzis, rocket launchers, plasma guns and even combat vehicles. And you'll need them all against endless waves for zombie penguins, security robots and sentry turrets. But TAGAP isn't just about penguins and guns, but also about pills. There are four different pills that are rewarded for in-game achievements, like hi-scores and killing spree combos. The color-coded drugs have different effects and side effects. As a result gameplay keeps switching from trippy slow-motion to fast-forward chaos – and back! TAGAP uses OpenGL effects arsenal for 2-D presentation of slightly naïve style, resulting slick, anarchistic presentation easiest described as Mario-meets-Doom. Also featured are built-in level editor and thoroughly-documented TAGAP_Script scripting system. T | ||

|

The new TMNT video game uses the same dark and dangerous environments and adventurous themes featured in the new TMNT CGI film developed by Imagi Animation Studios and Mirage Licensing. The TMNT movie takes place in a New York City plagued by secretive villains and strange, otherworldly creatures. Faced with these perils, the Turtles will experience their most trying time as heroes and as a family, as Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo lose their focus and struggle to maintain their unity and ninja discipline. In the movie and in the highly immersive video game adventure, it's up to Leonardo and the faithful father figure Splinter to reunite the band of brothers and save New York City from a monstrous evil that lurks around every corner. Video game players will engage in over-the-top acrobatic navigation, collaborative combat and powerful fighting moves. Harness the power of Ninjitsu and become a master of combat. Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo are playable and each have unique acrobatic moves, weapons and combat skills, such as Michelangelo's fast nunchuck face slap and Raphael's powerful Sai throw. The Turtles jump from rooftop to rooftop, scale tall buildings, dive into sewers and race through every corner of the city to confront their enemies. Together the Turtles can team up to reach locations unattainable alone, or defeat the enemy. Characters from the movie and the original comic book series – including the Purple Dragon Street Gang and the infamous Foot Clan – and a whole new group of enemies creep out of the shadows to face the Turtles. | ||

Thomas "Hawk" Blythe is the captain of the swift pirate frigate "Hawkwind". Both he and his girlfriend, the voodoo priestess Sangua, captain ships under the high command of the notorious pirate leader "Blackbeard". Together, Hawk and Sangua embark on a search for the legendary treasure of Henry Morgan, an infamous pirate and Governor of Jamaica approximately fifty years earlier. The game tells of Hawk's struggle against a world growing blacker by the day. Betrayal and death are but a small element of Hawk's adventures. Forged treasure maps, voodoo magic, a deadly curse and the seemingly ever-present threat of Blackbeard's wrath all appear focused on stifling Hawk as he plunges into a battle for power, romance, treasure and truth. Hawk may decide at any time which strategy would be the most advantageous in any given situation. Tactical planning, carefully considered actions and a realistic assessment of ones strengths are indispensable for successful battles at sea. Close combat may consist of an action packed fight against numerous sailors - on the other hand, it could involve sneaking past guards and officers in order to reach the captain for the final showdown. In order to sneak up on someone successfully, Hawk must avoid the opponents' line of sight and then he has to attack swiftly and silently from behind. If the guards detect him, they will alert everyone and attack. Hawk will be able to wield many different weapons such as throwing knives, sabers, axes, pistols or even exploding grenades. Hawk will increase his skills throughout the game. | ||

This is a friendly and exciting 3D Arcade game based on classical collect-all-the-treasures concept. The main character - a friendly explorer - Tuber, takes you on an underwater adventure of problem-solving fun. The game has elements of a logic game and is aimed at development of craft and intuition. The further you explore this fairy world, the more inventive you become, moving from easier to more difficult levels of the game. The game gets even more challenging as the main aim of the game level (collecting of all coins) can be achieved in different ways. Tuber is more equipped now and has to find more useful items. He has got new friends to help him on the way. And what's the most intriguing, now the action takes place not only in the underwater world but also on land. The most challenging land levels with unusual land creatures have appeared. | ||

Turtix has gone and done it. What he thought would be a small spell ended up being the one that broke the amulet of peace. Of course he didn't really mean to do any harm, but maybe he should have waited for his teacher to help him. As if this wasn't bad enough, the evil forces of the land, which the amulet kept at bay, kidnapped all the young turtles of the School of Magic that are scattered throughout the islands of his world. Well, Turtix will not take this lying down and so he sets out on a journey to recover the shattered amulet pieces and rescue all the young turtles. Turtix is a side-scrolling platform game wherein the player takes the role of Turtix, a student magician, on a quest to rescue kidnapped friends and recover gems and amulets. There are five various worlds in the game to go through each with highly-detailed environments and their own enemies and bosses. Basic movement is jump which will enable the player to stomp on enemies and finish them off by kicking them. The player will get special power-ups such as the ability to fire magic missiles but they will have to, again, kick some of the enemies to finish them off. Very basic movement and attack commands make the game more about platform jumping than attacking; in fact the game doesn't require the player to kill off all the enemies but rather just the ones that are guarding fellow kidnapped students. The levels are littered with obstacles such as spikes and moving platforms and of course enemies but each game world starts slowly, requiring the player to rescue only three students in a small level and build up, before a boss battle, to levels containing ten rescues and large maze-like layouts. In between levels, the mentor will give the player tips about introduced enemies and obstacles but will also give them a heads-up on new power-ups and strategies for finishing the bosses off. | ||

You've been given the opportunity to start your very own garden - only this garden will be full of Piñata animals that are full of candy. Nurture your garden to attract a wide variety of unique Piñata species as you aim to keep your residents happy. This is a simulation in the vein of a game like Harvest Moon. While there is no specific story or goal to the game, you can progress further by attracting many different types of Piñatas into your garden. At first, you'll only have a small patch of land covered in junk; however, with some cleaning up and basic maintenance, you can begin to attract many different species, starting from the tiny Whirlm, to larger creatures like Horstachio. If you're more interested in money-making than collecting, you can get the Piñatas to produce goods, like honey or milk, for you. Failing that, you can simply sell off any of your excess Piñatas after you learn how to get them to mate. Each species has its own particular ritual and conditions for mating. Occasionally, mischievous Sour Piñatas will turn up to cause trouble in your garden. If you can cure them of their sour condition, they'll help your garden instead! You can also get the services of the local Piñata Island residents, such as shopping, garden maintenance, and Piñata capture (if you require a particular species). | ||

| Eternal Fantasy [J] | Circus, Yamayuri Games / SakuraGame | [top] | |

This is a galgame with RPG elements. The gameplay follows a linear plot line, which offers pre-determined scenarios and courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the main female characters, but differs from traditional visual novel in that the player is allowed to navigate in an overworld map from a top-down perspective, and its utilization of a combat system. It utilizes three different styles of gameplay. The game features an overworld map and a combat system, typical to role-playing video games, and a visual novel system. While on the overworld map, a scaled-down depiction of the game's fictional landscape, the player is allowed to navigate between locations from a top-down perspective. Upon entering locations in the overworld map, the game shifts to a visual novel-style gameplay. Gameplay in this segment requires little player interaction as most of the duration of the game is spent on simply reading the text that appears on the screen, which represents either dialogue between characters, or the inner thoughts of the protagonists. Every so often, the player will come to a "decision point" where he or she is given the chance to choose from options that are displayed on the screen, typically two to three at a time. Gameplay pauses at these points until the player makes a choice, and depending on which choice the player makes, the plot will progress in a specific direction. At times, the player will be engaged in combat. Combat in Eternal Fantasy utilizes a real-time battle system, with the player taking control of one member of the party, while other characters are controlled by AIs. Each character and enemy has a certain number of hit points. Players may reduce hit points by wounding targets using different types of physical and magical attacks, and may also restore their hit points by healing themselves using items. When a character loses all his or her hit points, he or she faints, and if all of the player's characters lose all of their hit points, the game ends, and the player may either restore their progress from a previously saved location or immediately before battle. Attacks from characters are restricted by a countdown gauge similar to Square Enix's Active Time Battle system, and players can only issue attacks and place movements when the gauge is completely empty. There are multiple plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience. To view all of the plot lines, the player will need to replay the game multiple times, access different areas and make different choices to progress the plot in an alternate direction. One of the goals of the gameplay is to view the hentai scenes, depicting one of the protagonists having sexual intercourse with one of the heroines. | ||

The members of the band are Shikanosuke, Kirari, Shikanosuke's childhood friend Chie Isurugi, and a rich yet sickly girl by the name of Sarina Kashiwara. The four of them are members of the Second Literature Club, which has little in the way of active members and which is scheduled to be canceled. The band is their way of saying farewell to their club. Though ill-prepared for the challenge ahead, the members go through eccentric training, and eventually succeed in rocking Oubi Academy's cultural festival with their debut performance. And that should have been it. The members should have been satisfied, and they should have returned to their normal school lives. However, their final performance at a local music theater ends up as a hit on the Internet, and they receive requests from theaters far and wide who want them to come and perform. What now? Exams are coming up, and the families are opposed to the band. But none of that matters! The four of them embark on a trip through Japan, armed with their makeshift musical instruments and aboard a rickety van that could come apart at any moment. It is to be their final project as academy students. An English version was released in 2009. | ||

Grim reapers, the carriers of death, exist in our world. One of them, known as 10555 ("Sango"), has lost his scythe. In an attempt to recover it from a man named Kuroda he accidentally killed another person. As a result, Sango was reincarnated as a young boy named Mitsuru Kagami. Mitsuru enjoys a pleasurable life, but all changes when he realizes the grim reaper is a part of him. This is a combination of visual novel-like gameplay with simulation elements. The story unfolds automatically through extensive conversations and text descriptions. From time to time the player is prompted to make a choice that would influence the plot. Animated 3D cel-shaded characters appear on still backgrounds during the visual novel part, but there are no real cutscenes or movement. During most of the scenes the player can opt to interrupt the narrative and switch to the "movement mode", which allows limited first-person navigation in a 3D environment. This mode is essentially a sex simulation, since the goal is always to have sex with a female character. The player can use stimulating drinks and other items to make the girl more inclined to consent. It is also possible to physically assault and rape the girl; however, in such case the relationship will come to a halt and the story will not reach the best ending. The sex scenes are interactive and offer various possibilities (positions, movements, etc.). | ||

Inganock, a city isolated from the outside, a city where everything is distorted, even the sun. It all started ten years ago, at a day called as 'Revival'. Then residents of the city slowly changed into beings that are partially human and partially animal. To this day, only a few still look fully human on the outside. One of these is Gii, a former medical student, now an illegal doctor that walks the city and cures the poor for free. He changed too, but only in the inside and his change enabled him a mysterious ability that he uses to heal people that keep mutating further every day. He has a few 'friends' if you can call them that. One of them is a black steel cat girl called Ati. Another one is an old friend from his medical school that he just met again after ten years, Salem. And the games story really begins when he encounters a little girl with pink eyes named Kia. In 2011, a Fullvoice ReBORN Edition was released with full voice, additional CGs, and the option to skip the minigame on first playthrough. | ||

The fandisc consists of the following: Houzuki’s chapter (the point), the epilogues for the original game's heroines, and a hidden omake. For starters, Houzuki’s chapter will probably tie everything that was left unanswered in Himawari no Shoujo. Therefore, it is really a step that any reader shouldn’t skip, considering how it is canonically ending everything so far. Houzuki's chapter sets the timeframe many years before the events of Himawari, at the very same location. Akutsu Masaomi and Higuchi Saburou, the 2 protagonists of the story managed to survive from the hellish SHCP trial and enter in the final part of their examination. They soon meet the current SHCP in charge of the town, Ari Ruruliant Houzuki. Cunning and often plotting behind their back, Ari will monitor them as the two will be in charge of Saika Miina, the only student with an obligation at that given time. Masaomi progressively realize that Miina’s situation is completely irrational, but many obstacles will arise before him. | ||

A young man's life is changed after his fateful encounter with a woman. Yun Tianhe is an 18 year old boy who lives in the mountains by himself. One day, a girl named Han Lingsha appears in front of him, and brings him to his parents' grave. After realizing his parents' mysterious past, Yun Tianhe decides to leave his home to embark on an adventure with Han Lingsha. On their journey, Yun and Han meet a Kunlun Clan disciple called Murong Ziying and a beautiful girl named Liu Mengli. All together, their story finally begins. This is a traditional Eastern RPG, which requires the use of a mouse. A keyboard is also necessary for shortcut options. The basic gameplay system is very similar to the one used in the third game, displaying a bar showing the turns of the participants in the turn-based battles, and learning magic of five different elemental disciplines. Some of the gameplay aspects have been simplified (for example, magic no longer has levels and casting time). Character-related puzzles have been replaced by field abilities which deplete the "qi" energy of a character - for example, Yun Tianhe can set traps in front of approaching monsters. | ||

This is a single player action/RPG influenced heavily by turn based strategy games like Civilization. Your character takes lead of a fledgling Covenant (a faction or guild) in the barbarian city of Jorvik, where you compete or ally with other Covenants. These factions are the most unique aspect, adding a level of depth unusual in games of this genre. The player can negotiate trades for money or even items, start wars or form alliances, raid enemy Covenants or destabilize them with rumors. These other groups will also compete with the player to complete quests and win recruits, or can even adventure alongside the player. Items and inventory are handled in much the same way as other action/RPGs. There are common items, rare items, uniques, set pieces, artifacts and so forth, all color coded for your convenience. Every item alters your character's appearance as well. It does not support multiplayer, but it does allow you to export your character sheet in HTML and other formats to post on the internet, allowing for some ladder-style competition. Also, your character, Covenant and recruits can all be transferred to a new game when you win as well, allowing for a lot of replayability. | ||

This is a German fan-made demake of Diablo 2 with GBA style graphics. Fantastically polished graphics from the days of classic 2D RPGs, which - as the name suggests - would be suitable for a GameBoy, so most of you will surely like such graphics. Each of the characters in the game can learn a maximum of 4 different "skills", each up to the 12th level. As you reach each level, you will be asked which ability you want to improve. If you decide once, your character's character will also change according to your level up. This small tidbit should indicate how sophisticated Diablo 2 GB Edition is in even one named area. And that's not even talking about the many "discussing" characters we'll meet in the game, as well as the many monsters that will try to get a tip from us. | ||

This is the first title in a series of independently developed RPG games. It's a faithful follower of classic RPG series like Wizardry, Might & Magic, or Ultima. The game is turn-based, with the outcome of every action determined by the character's stats. Those are aided by different skills that involve combat proficiency with various weapons, thieving skills, magic abilities and non-combat skills like cartography (affects the quality of the automap feature), lore or mercantile. The world is open from the very beginning, with nothing but overpowering monsters and thugs preventing the player from going wherever he pleases. The story finds the player in an abandoned building in the ransacked village of Elderhollow, suffering from a memory loss and with a short note instructing him what to do next. In time, he finds out that he is located in the eastern province of Eschalon, Thaermore, which is currently torn apart by war with a mysterious underworld race of creatures bearing a strong resemblance to dwarves. The passage to the west was closed by the Eschalon ruler, so all the people left in the province now have to care for themselves. A series of notes and instructions brings the player closer to the truth about his origin and his role in the current conflict. In Feb/2017, to celebrate 10 years since its release, it was made freeware. | ||

This retains many features and ideas from the previous two games but also adds many new ones, some of which would be later used in Fantasia Sango 4 and Fantasia Sango 4 Wai Zhuan. The most immediate difference is right at the beginning when the player first starts their adventure – they must choose either sword-wielding Xia Hao or the feisty Zhang Jie as the main character. The stories for these two soon intertwine but they start out very differently and as the game goes on that initial choice will have continue to have some bearing on the way events and dialogue play out. These two are far from being alone though, a total of seven different characters will join the party over time. While these characters obviously help in battle they also add to the plot in quite a fluid way, with the choice of party members effecting or even triggering certain events and setting the player on a course to experience one of the eight possible endings to the game. Battles have also received an overhaul and are in 3D for the first time. Battles are generally set out as they were before – a formation of four characters can be in battle at one time (a decrease from the six you could use in Fantasia Sango 2), points earned in battle can be used to level up individual skill trees, unlocking spells and skills to unleash on the battlefield and crystals can be attached to equipment to enhance its effects. The main addition is in the special events that can pop up, defeating the enemy quickly or in a particular manner can give the group bonus items that they wouldn’t normally obtain. Brave or skilled players going through the game on one of the harder difficulty settings will find themselves with completely unique items if they can successfully complete these challenges. The pet system also makes a return and is much as it was before – these uncontrollable creatures gain levels and skills much like their human counterparts and are sometime required to overcome obstacles out on the field (for example – flying over terrain the player otherwise wouldn’t be able to).

Sequel to the Rpgmaker2003 epic, Legacies of Dondoran. Takes place 20 years later. Same world, mostly the same geo-political circumstances, totally new plot, only marginally related to the plot of LoD1. The game's protagonist is Alec Tyranos, son of the hero of LoD1, Garm Tyranos. Humanity, united in its effort to create the new "Magi Army," comprised of magically gifted folk, and deploying its invincible airship fleet, stands astride the world with undisputed dominance. Alec Tyranos, a regular army officer, finds himself amidst a massive political upheaval that threatens to shatter the continuity of the expansive Dondoran Republic. Projected Play time: ~30 hours. Current Features: Fully functional, fast, user-friendly CMS; All character progression determined by the highly interactive (and now, way way more user-friendly picture-based) skill tree; "Battle2" (large animation) Battlechars. Which means, I don't use the standard 3-frame crap. The battlechars will rock, in other words; Skill points act as experience, seperate from level experience. SPs can be acquired via quests or tomes of skill. Sp gain is directly related to party level versus enemy party level; Mostly random encounters, but few in number, and longer, more complex fights. The HP level (in relation to damage output) of players and enemies is high, which raises the importance of buffs, debuffs, and specific tactics; STR, DEF, and INT stats are dramatically more important than default rm2k3. AGI, which is a broken stat, is mostly homoginized, and changes only with specific skills and gear. The game was cancelled but the unfinished version was released. | ||

Half a year after the events of Trails in the Sky Second Chapter, Liberl has settled into peace once again—but even during peaceful times, there are many among the distinguished and fortunate burning with greed thanks to the influence of ancient artifacts. Most of the population remains unaware of their abuses of power, but to the most enigmatic order of the beloved Septian Church, the Gralsritter, snuffing out these would-be villains and claiming artifacts in their name is as everyday as professing one’s faith in the Goddess. On the eve of another successfully completed mission, high-ranking member Father Kevin Graham is immediately assigned to retrieve one more artifact that rests beneath Grancel Cathedral. What's more, even though this is a task he could easily complete on his own, he must reluctantly do so in partnership with his newest recruit, rookie Gralsritter and childhood friend Sister Ries Argent. Thus begins the start of a routine mission that becomes anything but, delving into a new and mysterious realm that follows an unnaturally strict set of rules: Phantasma. Therein, the history of the Septian Church and the pasts of the many familiar faces who took up arms for the sake of Liberl's future will be laid bare...and some may have been better off staying forever sealed behind closed doors. A More Personal Adventure - Trails in the Sky has become a fan favorite for thoughtfully written characters down to its NPCs, and for its final installment further focuses on fleshing out its playable cast via Moon and Star doors found as the story progresses. Familiar Tactics, Brutal Combat - Widely considered the most challenging title in the series, players are encouraged to iterate upon the combat style they’ve come to know in the 3rd's predecessors by either enjoying its in-depth story on Easy or crying with frustration on its unforgiving Nightmare difficulty. One More from Falcom Sound Team jdk - Nihon Falcom is known for its brilliant music, and the Trails series has never been an exception, with the 3rd adding dozens of new tracks to keep players engaged as they journey through Phantasma. Even More Olivier - As if two Sky games was enough Olivier. An English version was released in May/2017. | ||

From the developers of the Action RPG Restricted Area, comes this Diablo clone set in a classic fantasy world full of goblins, orcs, ogres, and trolls. It places an emphasis on heavy combat and action. Players begin as a young apprentice, who, upon returning from a rite of passage, discovers that all of his brethren have been massacred. Gamers can develop their character as a warrior, a mage, or a hybrid of the two, but whatever choice they make, the result will be the same -- massive retaliatory carnage. The action is click-based, meaning players travel by clicking where they want to go, and they attack by clicking on the enemy. The cursor takes on the form of a luminescent fairy that provides light in the darkened (and randomly generated) dungeons, and periodically offers gamers hints, and the developers have implemented a "Cinematic Combat System" that provides distinct attack animations for each enemy. This means the main character will jump up and attack larger enemies, rather than just slashing at their knees, and he'll also perform unique finishing moves when the bad guys are on their last legs. | ||

Somewhere in a pyramid, not far from the Nile, the Egyptian god Seth awakens again and swears revenge on all gods and mankind. As always, it is the player's duty to stop him. The choice between the four characters - Shaman, Barbar, Battlemage or Amazon - dictates in which of the four worlds the player begins his journey to waste Seth's hordes and ultimately Seth himself. The four worlds are Egypt in the 13th century B.C. (Battlemage), Greece in the 12th century B.C. (Amazon), Scandinavia in the 1st century A.D. and the Aztec empire in the 16th century A.D.. After completing one world, there is a choice as to where to go next. It's a hack 'n slash game much like Diablo II or Titan Quest. The character makes its way through literally hundreds of thousands of monsters on three different difficulty levels in order to reach the maximum level of 200. Slain enemies remain visible; that way, cleared areas are not repopulated until a new game is started. All levels are generated randomly. While playing experience points can be gained by killing all the pesky bastards that stand in the way or by completing the quests given by NPCs. The twist is that the character can either believe in one of the three available gods or play as an atheist. Believing grants access to 17 more talents (which add up to an overall of 51 talents) but one quarter of the experience points goes directly into those talents. So as an atheist the character levels faster but he can only unlock 34 talents. While playing, it is possible to change beliefs at one of the many altars. Taking armor and weapons of fallen enemies is not the only way to get powerful items. At a blacksmith, redundant items can be deconstructed and those materials can be used to build new, more powerful weapons. Only combining a handle and a blade can make a good sword, but by throwing in additional materials like iron or a moon stone, magic attributes can also be applied. During the journey there are runes to collect, which can also be incorporated into the item crafting process. When tired of running around alone, there is an online multiplayer mode to play with up to 5 other players through the campaign, with 3 additional modes as well. In the duel mode the player goes up against another player in a one-on-one. Statistics of these fights are tracked in an online ladder if the duels are played over the official GameCenter. The next mode is team duel in which up to four players on each side can fight against each other. But unlike the one-on-one there is no ranking. The last game mode sets a group of players in fights against various monster combinations not encountered in the singleplayer or cooperative part of the game. There it is for example possible to fight against all the bosses of the campaign at once. Except for the co-op mode, all modes take place in an arena. | ||

This is a revamped version of Nethergate that uses the Blades of Avernum game engine, which also provides a quest log, a nicer automap, and improved graphical features. There's two new dungeons, several new quests, and many new magic items. It's a two-sided adventure that can be played either as the Celts or as the Romans. The story takes place in Roman Britain, around the time of Boadicea. Your group of warriors has been called to this area at the request of either a Celtic Chief or a Roman Military Governor. You are asked to perform a series of tasks and encounter magic and mystery along the way. This Roman Britain is not ours; it has real magic, and fairies who are sometimes sympathetic and sometimes hostile to mankind. In addition, goblins, wights, orcs, formori, and other monsters are present in large numbers. You will be faced with these foes as you attempt to complete the tasks your masters set you. Nethergate is unique among Spiderweb Software games in being the only game to use a spell system consisting of Spell Circles, instead of the "Mage" and "Priest" spell system featured in the Exile and Avernum series. | ||

The city of Silverfall is the capital city of the kingdom Egreïd in the land of Nelwïë and a proud monument of what the combined strength of four races (humans, elves, trolls and goblins) can build with magic and technology. But not everyone is happy with this development and many say that the people should not forget their roots, and turn away from technology. These people call themselves the League of the Wilderness and for many years both groups had their disputes but no war. But it boils under the surface. One day all magical places of Nelwïë are attacked by an army of daemons - including Silverfall - to take advantage of the tense situation. While the inhabitants (of which the player is one) flee from the city, the archmage makes his stand and manages to defeat their leader. But in his last breath the daemon leader unleashes a powerful spell taking over the body of the archmage. A dark era is about to begin... The refugees of Silverfall meanwhile fled to the nearby swamps and began to build a temporary home under the leadership of the son of the archmage. Since the camp is surrounded by swamps, where deadly things roam, it needs a hero: You. After defining a race and customizing the appearance, your first quest as a level 1 hero is to kill a few skeletons near the campsite. Like in Diablo you gain experience by completing quests from the main story line and the many side quests that await you or by killing enemies. At each new level you gain 4 attribute points and 4 skill points. As you level up those points can be spent on the different attributes (Strength, Intelligence, Agility or Vitality) or the different skill trees if you want to be a fighter, a long-range combatant or a sorcerer. There are several skill trees to spend your points in, such as magic (Light, Shadow and Elemental), melee combat, long-range combat, combat technique and a racial ability skill tree in which there are several talents to unlock and upgrade. In the course of the game you also decide on which side of the never-ending struggle between Technology and Nature you stand through solving quests for the different groups. This not only affects how the NPCs of each group react to you but also changes the look of the city Silverfall since you gain a great influence among the population as you get deeper involved in saving the whole world from the new evil that spreads through the land. Each path also grants access to an additional skill tree in which you can find spells like a Shield which blocks incoming projectiles (Technology tree) or grants the ability to turn into an animal (Nature tree). Spells and talents will not bring down an enemy alone so you will also find many items of different qualities from armory and weapons to necklaces and rings in the course of your adventure. These can be used to gear up your hero and make him a real fighting machine. If you do not like to fight alone you can recruit NPCs to help you after you did a quest for them. You can give them orders such as "ignore the enemies - just heal me" and customize their gear. You can play through the campaign or just roam the world and do sidequests (or PvP) with up to 7 other players in the two multiplayer modes of the game. Silverfall features a cel-shaded graphical style which puts a black outline around all characters and gives the world a comic-style look. This effect can be turned off at any time. | ||

It was a big fight high above on the Olymp but in the end the hero won the fight and eradicated the evil from the earth. Or did he? Zeus knows that the hero missed something and sends him to the temple of Apollon on the island of Rhodos. There he hears of the evil that still resides in the one place that was not visited: the domain of Hades, the resting place of the dead. Hades commands his demons to kill all living creatures and the hero cannot allow that to happen, so he descends into the underworld, crosses the river Styx and even travels to the Elysian Fields in order to hunt Hades down and make himself a customer in his own realm. This add-on not only expands the level cap to 75 (+10 compared to the original game) but also adds a new mastery called "Dream". This mastery uses deceptions and illusions to seduce, disorient and, of course, kill enemies. In the item department the expansion not only adds over 500 new items but also new types of objects such as arcane formulas which, once deciphered by a Enchanter, reveal how to make powerful artifacts which can be placed in the new slot in the character screen to increase the abilities. To make these artifacts, three reagents are needed, which can be everything from relics to other artifacts and scrolls. Scrolls are new, too. They contain powerful one-time spells such as "Raise the Dead" or "Heal me completely". The last new item is the Gravestone. A Gravestone appears on the location where the hero is killed and when it is revisited, a large part of the lost experience points is regained. The companion system has also been reworked. The player can assign different behavior patterns like Aggressive or Defensive to anyone. It is now also easier to control them as they can be selected either directly with the function keys, or marked as a whole group with a single key. The new companions are not the only new NPCs in the new and old world. There are also the Carvans and the already mentioned Enchanters. In the wagons of the Caravan items can be stored for later use when the available space in the inventory becomes scarce, similar to the chest in Diablo II. Items can then be accessed anytime and at any Outpost. The Enchanter not only deciphers arcane formulas but can also remove Relics from weapons and armor. A few changes were made in the multiplayer part of the game. The most obvious is the overhaul of the lobby system. Open games now have detailed information shown including a list of the characters currently playing. Completely new is the possibility to activate PvP on a server to spice the action up a bit. Of course, this expansion brings many more small additions and changes from which the original game also profits. | ||

This magical world full of swords and sorcery fantasy RPG game features incredible graphics, and amazing characters and storyline. In this world, the races are divided into two. There are the civilized races, humans and their allies who build cities and practice the high arts. Then there are the hordes, nomadic or beast-like people led by the orcs. The two groups lived peace for decades, but the recent discovery of an ancient temple that both races want to control has sparked war once again. As the main character in the game, players find themselves trapped between the two races and forced to make some very hard decision. The game has over 200 different endings, giving players the chance to play their character in wildly different ways. It's a game that focuses a lot on decisions. While they obviously affect the ending, what the player does also affects their in-game alliances and actions. Gamers can join guilds to learn new skills, but later, in order to learn different skills, they may have to betray their guild. This, of course, could alienate them from many of their strongest allies. Players have to weight all the factors when making a decision, else find themselves cut off from needed resources. Thrilling fight choreographies, gripping characters and realistic worlds create new dimensions in the genre. Players can experiment with different careers and even reverse their former choices with the help of "career changers". Players are allowed to assemble their own magic spells and can travel and fight on various animals from horses to tamed lizards and beasts. A choice of traps and snares are at the Player's disposal making the gameplay both rich and flexible. Randomly generated pieces of equipment, thematic sets and combined items offer the space to experiment and satisfy the need to collect. There's a wide range of beautifully rendered terrains: from high mountains to seashores and deep caves with all of the locations featuring ultra sharp texturing and stunning design. Hyper-realistic tree physics and sophisticated weather system make the world come to life as has never been seen before. Up to 8 players can play in the multiplayer mode. In August, 2008 came Two Worlds: Epic Edition which contains the original game and the add-ons "Tainted Blood" and "Curse of Souls", putting the massive world of Antaloor and countless hours of adventuring into one tremendous package. The original Two Worlds gave players a huge world and hundreds of adventures to undertake. The expanded content of Epic Edition adds over 70 online quests, eight new multiplayer maps, an innovative player-versus-player challenge where opponents battle to control magical orbs within a variety of arenas, and introduces the town of Tharnburg where players can train their warriors in various skills and challenge other players to combat in the Gladiator District's huge arena. | ||

Vampire World is a combination of the role-playing game (RPG) and adventure genres. Its storyline will take the player into the dark corners of an old dockyard. The main character is Bernard – an adventurer living in the company of the undead for years. The story starts to unfold as a mysterious murder, apparently without a motive, takes place on one of the dockyard's piers. Even the vampires themselves seem to avoid the crime scene. As Bernard starts his investigation, events begin to get scary. The storyline will take the player to four different locations: abandoned docks, lighthouse district, old factory and a merchant ship. There is an ATBS (active time battle system) adding dynamics to combat as well as the possibility to use a lot of hits, blows, weapons and special combos (a similar system is used for example in the Final Fantasy series). There's the possibility to create your own spells using the rune system, and a lot of adventure-like items and non-linear dialogue branching. | ||

The Witcher represents the pinnacle of storytelling in role-playing games, shattering the line between good and evil with a world where moral ambiguity reigns. In a beautiful, rich game universe created by artists first, technology second, the player becomes his own hero in an epic, action-packed narrative uniquely defined by his actions. Returning to the roots of the role-playing genre with a fresh and modern approach, The Witcher emphasizes story and character development in a vibrant world, while incorporating tactically-deep real-time combat like no game before it. Immersed in a vivid but harsh fantasy world, the player assumes the role of a white-haired witcher named Geralt, a renowned monster-slayer-for-hire and master swordsman with superhuman strength and reflexes. While trying to regain his lost memory, Geralt unwillingly becomes involved in a world-shaking power struggle. Created to provide entertainment for both fans of role-playing games and those seeking fast-paced action, The Witcher brings together epic storytelling and dynamic, visually stunning, and tactically deep action. Geralt of Rivia is a one-of-a-kind protagonist - a charismatic and unique character who is a mutant swordmaster and professional monster slayer. Choose from over 250 special abilities correlated to attributes, combat skills and magical powers to build the character in a way best suited to tactical needs and style of play. Inspired by the writings of renowned Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, it features adult themes, less fairy-tale than typical fantasy, with mature social issues like racism, political intrigue and genocide. It is a harsh world where nothing is black or white, right or wrong, often forcing players to choose between the lesser of two evils to advance. All quests can be accomplished in several ways and the game has three different endings depending on the player's actions and choices throughout the adventure. Engage in complex yet intuitive real-time combat based on real medieval sword-fighting techniques. Motion capture performed by medieval fighting experts result in 600 spectacular and authentic in-game combat animations. There's six combat styles, dozens of potions, complex alchemy system, modifiable weapons and powerful magic add tactical depth to the fluid real-time experience.

This is a turn-based RPG based on the Hungarian novel series of the same name. The player takes the role of the half-orc Skandar Graun who was sent by the god of chaos to retrieve an important artifact. Due to unpredicted happenings the player strands at the harbour town Rentzal without skills or equipment. As usual in RPGs the player spends much of his time by exploring his surroundings, talking to people and solving quests, e.g. rescuing a kitten from a hungry orc. He also can pick up other characters and form a three-headed party. When meeting an enemy the game automatically starts the combat mode. The player has a certain amount of action points to his disposal which he uses to move, attack or cast spells. Every killed enemy and solved quest rewards experience points. After gathering enough of them the character levels up and the player can divide additional points to 36 skills, e.g. melee, lockpicking or resistance to the four elements. The player is not restricted to a certain class but can choose freely which skills he wishes to develop. The 240 spells are divided into six kodices of magic and six spheres of priesthood. | ||

The game also offered features that players would come to expect from MMORPGs, such as instanced dungeons, a plethora of quests, and crafting. One of its unique elements was its card-based enhancement system that allowed players to strengthen equipment, learn new skills, and summon pets.

This freeware remake of the Spanish platform game from 1985 (on C64, ZX Spectrum and other platforms but not PC) replaces the 8-bit graphics and sounds with modern, enhanced assets while keeping the unforgiving gameplay of the original. As before, the player controls a knight of the round table on a quest to retrieve four magical artifacts for King Arthur. In a humorous twist, all the the quest items are anachronistic objects. For example, "the fire that doesn't burn" is actually a fluorescent lamp. The knight has a limited set of movements and only one attack strike, a sword swipe, to transverse screens filled with obstacles, dangerous roaming monsters and hazardous environments. The hero can be killed by touching anything remotely dangerous, and is unable to crouch and slay short enemies. In one instance, after bringing back the artifact to the wizard Aznaht, the knight is transformed into an amphibian creature to be able to breathe underwater and navigate a complex of submerged caves. It won second place at CEZ Retrocompo 2007 to remake Spanish games. | ||

This freeware Windows remake of Turrican (of which the only game in the series to be released on PC being Turrican 2), is a fast-paced side-scrolling platformer. The player has to explore 9 levels and fight many different types of enemies at once. Rather than only recreating the original game graphically, there are many new features and redesigns. The player has 3 lives and each level is time-limited. Starting with 700 seconds, additional time is added when 50 diamonds are collected. There is only one weapon, but with three modes: spreadshot (red), laser (blue) and bounce (green). Each weapon has unlimited ammo can be upgraded multiple times, but these are lost when the character dies. Another function is lightning. By charging, the player can either create a blue blast and swing it around, or launch it as a projectile. It can be upgraded as well and cannot be used unlimitedly. In difficult situations, a powerline can be activated - a double vertical line of fire that covers the entire screen. The player can also go into wheel mode, during which the character is invincible. This can be used to go through narrow passages while optionally dropping bombs. Additionally, there are grenades, a shockwave, and a smartbomb filled with a power-up. The player can shoot in five directions (270 degrees clockwise to 90 degrees), crouch and jump. Holding the jump button longer has the character jump higher and by holding the shoot button, there is autofire, but the rate can also be increased by tapping the button quickly. Enemies attack from all directions and often originate from nests that spawn them. There are multiple routes to cross the levels and signs guide the player to the exit. As in the original game, the levels are filled with secret areas, hidden behind destructible walls or on hard to reach places. Next to diamonds, there are different power-ups, health items, a shield, and bonuses to collect. Each level ends with a level boss and there is an option to save the game before continuing. The character can take multiple hits and the current health is shown in a red circle in the top left corner. There are 4 difficulty levels and an option to play the game cooperatively with another human player. The game is mod-friendly and custom-made level packs, with new graphics and sounds, are supported. | ||

This was the developer's original attempt at the Iconoclasts concept. This one was meant to be much more light-hearted and silly. Another beautiful freeware game from Konjak, the mind that gave birth to that little masterpiece called Legend of Princess, but also the author of the fantastic Chalk and the Noitu Love series. This is an action game he had been working on for some time, but for one reason or another it was never finished. The game is not complete but it offers an extraordinary feeling and a first-rate gameplay. Graphically it recalls masterpieces such as Cave Story, the author warns that you may find some imperfections but after playing it for more than twenty minutes I can assure you that it is a gem to try absolutely. It's an exploratory platformer with puzzles to solve and fabulous bosses to eliminate. The controls include the cursor keys and the ASD sequence with which we can shoot, jump and slide. | ||

Seeing an odd sight in the sky around the same time, Meta Knight can't shake the feeling that something's not right...

Some game mechanics were ahead of the official Kirby games that were already released at the time. Various versions were created until 2010 but ultimately ultimate completion of game plans were never finished. | ||

Even though it was using the old chipset, non AGA, which further makes this an impressive game. This was originally released in 1992 by Thalion Software and art design by Henk Neiborg which had your character traversing the levels, jumping platforms and killing bad guys, thus it was so popular that it received some great reviews in several magazines. This fan-made remake keeps as much as possible elements of the original game.

Mikuman X (known as Mickman X, but due to the original spelling of her name and Mick capable of being pronounced as Miku in Japan, it's a bit of a language joke of sorts) is a short and action-packed Mega Man X clone made with the "Game Maker" program and stars Hatsune Miku, the very popular vocaloid. It's noted for its high difficulty level. In this game, Miku can shoot basic projectiles like Mega Man (she can't charge her shots, but jumping and shooting oddly acts like a charged shot without the charge) and swing a leek like Zero's sword. She is granted very slight invincibility from most attacks with most of her attacks. The reason is because even slight errors can result in a most punishing defeat. Her job is to start outside of an enemy fortress and work her way into the boss' chamber to fight Mega Man 2's "Air Man". | ||

This is a fan-made platforming video game that is based on Super Mario Bros. It is a Crossover with elements, characters, and settings from a multitude of other video games. The game consists of mechanics primarily from the SNES and Game Boy Advance renditions of Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World. Enemy characters include standard Mario-universe enemies, demonic beings, alien creatures, and human soldiers. The music includes the usual Mario series music, along with tracks from the Halo series and other games featured in MKF. The game features items from the Mario series and weaponry originally used by the Covenant races in Halo, in addition to suit items that bestow upon the main playable characters the guise and abilities of certain characters from the Mega Man universe. Characters featured in MKF include Mario, Luigi, and Wario plus a roster of characters from other video game franchises (such as Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legend of Zelda, Ninja Gaiden, and Mega Man). The game design is influenced by franchises such as the Sonic, Doom, and Mega Man series and other Nintendo titles. Other game franchises featured include (but are not limited to) Metal Slug, Castlevania, and Ghosts 'n Goblins; some obscure game titles represented are R-Type and E.V.O.: Search for Eden. JudgeSpear, the game's founding developer, stepped down from the project due to increasingly polarized views of the game's content and the inclusion of many different game elements, far removing the game from the original concept of just Mario visiting other game worlds, plus several disagreements with the other team members. A spinoff fangame project, Super Mario Fusion Revival, was founded to revive that original concept. The game has had a trouble history; it's been cancelled, revived, then cancelled for good due to burnout, lack of free time, and the mess that the source is in. A fan started a remake in Game Maker: Studio, but too has been cancelled. However, a fan by the name of D-TurboKiller has since continued development of the game, with 0.6 "Vanilla Shroom" being released here. Then they quit. Then other fans took up the project. It will. Not. DIE. | ||

This is one of four (next to the Snow Queen, Thumbelina and Snow White) games for children based on the motifs of popular folk fairy tales. The plot of the game loosely refers to the motifs of a fairy tale popularized by Charles Perrault. Players will learn more about the fate of the title character and his friend - miller Janek. The boy was captured and imprisoned by the Great Wizard, and the brave cat, regardless of the dangers, moves on to help. The game combines elements of a platformer, adventure game and logical game. Guided by Puss In Boots, the player explores the fairy-tale world in which he performs the tasks assigned to him, solves simple logic puzzles, and fights with enemies. Intuitively simple control system has been designed especially for the youngest customers. The visual setting of the game is far from modern standards. Three-dimensional graphical environment is very sparse in detail, and attention is drawn mainly to the vivid colors and unusual game screen decorations stylized on the theater audience. | ||

This is an unofficial fan-made project that takes the Mega Man 7 SNES game and turns it into an NES-style game. The game features remade 8-bit NSF-style music (created with pxtone) and the design of sprites and the landscape has been converted from 16-bit to 8-bit, but the layout and shape of the landscape is the same from the original version. Of course, cutscenes are in Japanese and the Japanese names for characters and weapons are used. The game mixes and matches certain elements, for example using sound effects from later entries in the series, but they are all carefully chosen to work so seamlessly that you barely even notice. It excises the "introductory level" and the interstitial level where you fight the goofy clown boss. A lot of the plot elements and dialogue have also been removed. You can now select any of the eight robot masters right from the beginning. Most of the game's hidden items and such have been retained, but Auto's shop is gone, as well as one particular hidden item that related to it. | ||

This is a metroidvania video game by Matt Thorson. The story revolves around an egg that has fallen from his nest, and begins to explore the world around him. It's a chilled-out hardcore wonderland of action discovery, plus an unidentifiable je ne sais quoi that just makes you want to drink it down in one gulp and then spit out a rainbow. You start out as a lonely egg in a nest. You can jump right away, but all of your other abilities must be discovered and earned. But there is no clear path to your goals, and indeed no clear goals. You will spend your time upgrading your abilities by locating blue orbs, upgrading your health meter by finding hearts, and defeating bosses by jumping on their heads when they are vulnerable. Over time, you will uncover the shattered fragments of a plot-line, find avian love, and even reveal the dark secrets of your world. Initially priced at $1, it was later made freeware in 2008. | ||

After a rich heiress is killed, Agatha Christie's famous detective, Hercule Poirot finds himself in the right place at the right time to investigate the crime with a boatful of murder suspects onboard the S.S. Karnak as it floats serenely down the Nile. Can the Belgian detective find the culprit before they reach port? The game is beautifully designed and artfully drawn, using an engaging and intuitive "seek-and-find" game dynamic. Award-winning game designer Jane Jensen has gone to great lengths to remain faithful to the original storyline and the era. Fans of the Queen of Crime and casual games alike will find the game immensely appealing as they immerse themselves in the uncertain world of Hercule Poirot. In order to solve the crime, Poirot (who in fact is you) will need to sleuth for clues in all the rooms of the liner, and question each of the passengers. Look for the required objects that are listed on the left-hand side of the screen and click them. The item will immediately be crossed out of your to-find-list. It's similar to the Mystery Case Files games, but you can also check different objects and the background of each location is no longer a steady picture, but it contains animated elements. Just like in real life, you can lift a book resting on the floor, turn its pages in order to find the clue hidden behind the pages, or watch the wall clock ticking etc. After searching for clues at the usual levels you'll be offered to tackle a sliding puzzle containing a picture that will shed light on a mysterious murder and bring you one step closer to its solution. Another stage of levels includes questioning the suspects. You'll have a chance to meet the passengers and familiarize with their biographies to sort out who was involved in this dreadful story. The history and culture of the first part of 20th century is also nicely presented. | ||

| Agatha Christie: Peril At End House | Oberon Media / Big Fish Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Calling all seek and find fiends - The biggest selling novelist in history is back with another spine tingling challenge for Hercule Poirot and his faithful companion Hastings. Set on the beautiful Cornish coast, there has always been an air of evil at End House and with three attempts on our heroine Nick Buckley`s life in as many days, it is up to the famous Poirot to unravel the mystery before it's too late. As soon as you open the book, you find yourself sitting alongside Hercule Poirot in a quiet coastal resort, one filled with odd characters, art deco signs, and Victorian nostalgia. Soon, you meet a beguiling young woman who calls herself "Miss Nick" and claims, rather nonchalantly, that she's come close to death three times in as many days. As you and Poirot listen, glancing about the scene, you realize something isn't quite right. Stories don't quite match up. Odd clues are scattered here and there. Suddenly, there is a murder. Before you know it, you have a mystery on your hands. At first glance, it may seem like a typical hidden object game, complete with mini-puzzles. As you enter a scene, you are given a list of objects and 25 minutes to find them. However, unlike many games of this genre, you are not searching for random bits of clutter. You're looking for clues: bits of shredded newspaper, knick-knacks which disguise secret compartments, murder weapons and motives. In the meantime, you'll find yourself drawn into a twisted plot, presented as clue cards and comic book panels. As you piece together these hints and clues, a surprising story emerges — one that could only have been conceived by a master of mystery like Agatha Christie. It's a pleasant blend of casual gaming and classic mystery. Often, hidden picture games can seem dull and repetitive, with contrived plots that quickly fall flat. This is not the case with Peril at End House. Even if you guess the solution to the mystery early in the game, Christie's clever twists and turns might lead you astray. The blend of art styles (detailed landscapes that are not quite still, period objects with art deco details, interrupted by comics and mini-games) gives the game a clever, eclectic feel—not unlike Christie's strange characters. Peril at End House celebrates its 75th anniversary with an interactive game that remains true to the Agatha Christie classic, while delivering an unforgettable hidden object experience. | ||

To her surprise, the owners decide to retire and leave her their business. Now, as the main "chef" in Beach Burger, Patty has to spread her franchise all the way to the capital city of Honochuchu. This is an action game which simulates a burger restaurant. The player has to prepare burgers, shakes and fries made of over 30 different recipes. The gameplay consists in clicking in the ingredients and placing them in the correct order for each recipe. For a hamburger, for instance, the player has to click in the burger stack to pick one and then click in the grill to start frying it. The player has to wait for it to get well done and then place it in the bread, adding ketchup and the top slice. Each order has a time limit to be done, or else the customer will quit waiting. Also, Patty starts working at 10:30 AM and ends at 9:00 PM, and has to reach a daily goal. If she fails to reach it, she'll lose a life. Each stage has a different kind of order to be prepared, being it burgers, shakes or fries. At first, Patty knows only one recipe of each kind of order, but in between levels new recipes can be bought. New recipes are harder to prepare, but are also more expensive. Earning more money is necessary as the stages go by due to the higher goals to be reached. As the daily shift remains the same, more expensive recipes are needed to reach the daily goal.

While the concept of the series has not changed since its first incarnation (and its spiritual ancestor The Incredible Machine), the game has now grown to over 150 different objects and over 200 pre-designed "head-scratching" puzzles. The main feature of the game is a so-called "extraordinary journey around the world". Which is basically a very long line (150) of different experiments. The "World Tour" is divided into 15 levels with 10 stages each. Naturally a "Beginner's Lab" is included for starters. To ease the pain for all those, that a not gifted with supreme knowledge of physics, the game offers varied support. Also the player doesn't have to clear every puzzle to advance on the "world tour", seven out of ten is sufficient. Additionally the AGEIA PhysX engine to emulate dynamic and unscripted physics for more realistic challenges has been implemented. The addition of the AGEIA PhysX engine lead to the inclusion of a section, which you can only play, if you have AGEIA hardware.

This is a game based on the UK game show hosted by Noel Edmonds. However in this game the host is a virtual Noel with the real Noel providing the voiceover. The format of the game mirrors the format of the show with the player trying to beat 'the Banker' as they open twenty two sealed boxes which contain randomly assigned sums of money inside ranging from 1p to £250,000. The game sees the player selecting one numbered box at the start of the game and eliminating remaining the boxes one by one. At various points 'the Banker' will offer a cash-out deal, the first offer comes after five boxes have been eliminated and thereafter offers come after every three eliminations. At the end of the game when the player is left with two boxes they may be offered the chance to swap their chosen box for the one other remaining box. One of the standard game options when considering the banker's offer is to see what the box opening contestants would do. This too is replicated in the game with the AI people shaking or nodding their heads as appropriate, Noel then summarises the poll results. One of the game's configuration options allows the player(s) to adjust the each of the contestants response to risk. The inlay claims six game modes, the single and multiplayer modes of the Normal Game are counted as two separate games. Normal Game: this can be played as a single-player or a multiplayer game and it follows the format of the game show and is for one to four players. In a single player game the player wins if they beat the banker, i.e. the amount they accept in a deal is higher than the cash in their chosen box, or the amount they win is higher than the banker's offer. In the multiplayer game all players are given the chance to accept the banker's deal or continue playing, the victor is the player who wins the most money. Human Banker game: this too plays just like the show but it is for two to four players. One player takes the role of the banker and that player decides the amount to be offered, it's entered via the keyboard and not chosen from a pick list. The other player(s) play as though in the normal game, deciding whether or not to accept the banker's offer. If the player(s) win or settle for an amount that is lower than the contents of the box then the banker wins the game, if they win more than the banker's offer then the highest winner takes the game. Banker vs PC: in this single game all the box selection is done by the game, all the player does is decide the deal on offer. If the game accepts a deal that is lower than the amount it could have won then the banker wins. Cash Game: this is a variant of the Normal Game, it is for one to four players but the amounts range from 1p to just £50. Forfeit: in this game the players do not play for cash, they play for 'forfeits'. It's a game for one to four players and can be played as a family game, a Friends game or a Couples game with the forfeits being altered appropriately. Instead of blue and red indicating the low and high cash amounts they indicate the desirability of the forfeit, for example playing the Couples game the lowest/worst blue forfeit is 'Your partner decides what clothes you will wear for a week' while the highest/best red forfeit is 'Your partner will take you on holiday'. The game is played in the usual way with forfeits in the boxes instead of cash amounts, the banker's offers are red/blue forfeits too. | ||

This is a time management game based around the character Emily Napoli. The player helps her to serve customers in different locations. The game can be played in a Story Mode or The Happy Customer Mode. With gameplay identical to the first game, there are five restaurants with ten levels each. Each level takes up a day and Emily works towards her dream of opening her own tea garden. The five restaurants are The Park, The Bistro, The Italian Restaurant, The Cafeteria, and The Sushi Bar. Each one comes with different deliverables and customers. They also each have their own decorations bought with the decoration money earned in additional to the regular profit. Items to take into account are order size that grow gradually and customer characteristics. Tables need to be cleaned as well before customers can be sit down. Emily can choose to hire entertainers that provide a mood boost and additional time to make customers more patient while waiting for their food. Through the days the story is also furthered. The premise is that Emily receives a call from her uncle Antonio. Marcello has disappeared and he needs her help in the restaurants. New characters are introduced such as François, Norma and Ziggy, and Emily starts up different activities to keep Antonio's restaurants open. Differences compared to the first game are more varied dishes, the introduction of a story to link the different levels together, entertainers and decorations as new game elements, and a trophy cabinet where up to twelve trophies that can be earned, are stored. | ||

Flo is going back to her hometown for a journey through her childhood memories with her grandmother, Grandma Florence. But when she discovers that her favorite places are in poor state and nearing the definitive disappearance, she decides to save them by working in their restaurants with her grandma in the kitchen. This is the fourth game in the Diner Dash series, featuring Flo, owner of different restaurants in Dinertown. She has to save five different places in her hometown: the zoo, the baseball stadium, the museum, the lunapark and her grandmother's restaurant, which has been closed before her birth and can be saved by a jump to the past. The gameplay is still the same: seat customers, take their orders, serve their meals and collect the money. Additionally, they can also ask for a snack or a dessert. Sometimes Flo will have to use the mop for cleaning the mess kids and babies made or bring a high chair for families. She can also phone for asking help (for speaking to the customers waiting when a podium is available, for playing some music, for bringing cocktails or for bringing plates). Each customer has five hearts. The more they are red, the more higher the tip will be. If a customer loses all his hearts, he'll leave the restaurant. The customers are also carrying colored clothes and seating them on seats with the same color brings bonus points. There are still the usual customers met in the previous games: Cellphone Addict, Business Woman, Bookworm, Family (including mothers with babies and Father with Son), Normal Girl, etc., each with specific features. For example, some customers like Business Woman or Bookworm don't like noises, so seating them near Cellphone Addict is a wrong idea. In the contrary, the noise doesn't bother Family, so you can put the Cellphone Addict near them. There are also new customers like the Hungry Man who is ordering twice a meal, the Teen Boy/Girl, addicted to cellphone but flirting with each other when seated near each other or the Local Celebrity, who can replenish the nearing people's hearts. When beating a level, you'll be giving the choice to redecorate the restaurant or to propose a new plate. | ||

| Fairy Tower | LittleWing Co. Ltd. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The legendary Fairy Tower stood silent since ancient times in its site, with four gates for water, earth, light and wind elements. Vegetation grew tall around it, and the farmers worshipped the magical construction as a deity. One day, the tower suddenly awakened and ejected its magical artifacts all over the land. These items have great energy and the power to destroy the world. They must be stored back inside the tower for the sake of humankind. It's the 9th pinball simulation game created by LittleWing. It has one table, and the objective is to collect all four orbs and store them inside the tower, activating it in the process. The blue water orb is received after the hitting all the three blue targets near the bumpers. The red light orb can be acquired by shooting the ball in the Ent lane five times. The Ent multiball starts when the fourth ball enters the lane. The player can get the green earth orb after receiving four dwarf souvenirs. To get the souvenirs, the ball must travel through U-Turn lane when the souvenir light is blinking. The green orb is awarded and multiball starts after acquiring the fourth souvenir. The white wind orb is attained after dropping all the targets in front of the tower four times. The orbs can be installed in the tower directly by hitting it with the ball. After installing all four orbs, tower multiball and jackpot starts, and the player retrieves one of the missing magical devices. Super tower multiball starts if the orbs are all installed at the same time, giving more points and the possibility of retrieving three devices. Ultimate tower multiball starts after all twelve devices are acquired. | ||

| Farm Frenzy | Melesta / Alawar Entertainment Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a straightforward time-management game, where the player controls a farm, raising animals and selling products to the market. The main game screen is mostly occupied by a central bare patch of land where the farm animals roam, surrounded by a series of farm implements and machines. All necessary actions are performed with clicks over interactive hotspots of the scenery. The objective is displayed at the start of the level, usually requiring a certain amount of resources, money or other goals. Initially, the player has to click on the well to collect water and on the ground to grow the grass that feeds most of the livestock. The animals can be purchased from a tab at the top, to eat the turf and generate products every few moments. Geese lay eggs, sheep shed cotton, cows produce milk, and all these resources have to be collected and stacked on boxes at the bottom storage shed. The boxes have to be shipped to the market by clicking on the truck, that takes a few moments to make the transportation of all the selected goods. A small animation at the bottom-right shows the vehicle going back and forth between the farm and the city. Dangerous bears appear randomly on the farm, and kill any animal that cross their paths. They have to be quickly contained on cages, and afterwards collected on boxes to be sold as a product. If the cage remains untouched on the field for too long, the bear eventually breaks free and runs out of the farm. The storage space at the bottom is limited, and sometimes bears and other products can't be stored on time and disappear after a while. The structures surrounding the game field are used to process the raw materials produced by the farm into more refined products, like powdered eggs, cheese, baked goods and other items. The stars received after completing a level have to be spent on upgrades to the machines on the shop screen, to make them more efficient and unlock new levels. There is no time limit to complete each stage, but finishing within a specific time frame, shown at the top, gives awards and bonus stars. | ||

The apocalypse is about to begin. Only you can help billions to survive. Two heroes - Cleaner and Bubble will help you to crush all the boxes threatening the world. The game is similar to a common Arkanoid, but there are several important features that surely make the gameplay more interesting. First - the moving boxes: when you get to higher levels you'll understand that moving parts are more interesting to hunt. Second: the mutant guards. You should neutralize them as well as the boxes. Third thing is the time limit - you should hurry up! And the last but not the least items are various bonuses: armored ball, multiball, additional life, AI support board and others. Collect them to win. But do not forget to avoid getting anti-bonuses: speed decrease, -1 life, reducing time limit and so on. Moreover, the ball is not simple - it rounds upon its axis and jumps off the objects with the unpredictable angle. Visuals and sound effects are atmospheric and they help you to dive into the world of space journey. The game will surely entertain you for a very long time because the gameplay is so groovy that you will not lose interest even after hours of breaking those tricky boxes. Each new level will bring new tactician puzzle: if you make a perfect shot, you'll pass the stage over a few seconds. It's a great adventure for most skillful and dexterous ones. | ||

| Garden Defense | GameHouse Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an action / strategy game that involves protecting flower beds from being eaten by hungry insects and pests. The story of the game follows Allen and Laurel Smith. Allen is a tinkerer of sorts, and has transformed kitschy garden decorations known as Gadgets (Garden Gnome, Peeing Cherub, Pink Flamingo) into Garden Defenses. His wife Laurel raises an aggressive variety of Plants (Sunflower, Nightbells, and Spitting Cactus). Eventually, the Smiths are joined by their Bug Loving daughter, Charlotte. She introduces Bughouses that are used to summon friendly Bugs (Stinkbug, Dragonfly and Ladybugs) to help defend the gardens. Each level has a winding path that the pests follow toward the flower bed. The player must build Garden Defenses along the path to stop the pests. Each level is broken into waves of enemies that get progressively harder. The enemies come in two varieties, Crawlers (they move along the ground) and Fliers (they fly above the path). Each defensive object has its strengths and weaknesses. Some target just one enemy at a time, while others attack all enemies within its attack radius. Some attack fliers only while others attack crawlers, or both. The player has as much time as they like between waves to set up their defenses. This allows for different strategies to form. The defensive objects also have unique properties of their type. Gadgets, for example, can be moved anywhere in the garden at any time. This creates a more action arcade feel to the game. On the other hand, Plants are permanently rooted in the ground once placed, but they naturally grow and upgrade on their own over time. And lastly, the Friendly Bugs that can be deployed from the Bughouses follow the path away from the flower bed, and toward the oncoming enemy. When Bugs engage an enemy of a like type, they engage them in melee combat. The Bugs also each have a unique ability giving the player more options when using Bugs. As the player goes through the game, they come across Cut Scenes which tell the story of the Smith's defense of the Gardens of Lindencroft (The town in which Garden Defense takes place.) The Cut Scenes establish the areas of the game in which the player defends the flower beds and gardens. These areas include, the Suburbs of Lindencroft, an Abandoned Garden called Jardin House, gardens in the town of Grand Chap, Botanical Gardens at the town Museum, and ultimately protecting rare plants in Birdsong Woods. The player can upgrade their arsenal by purchasing a variety of global upgrades in "The Lab". These include super versions of each of the defenses, as well as range increases, damage modifiers, and different bonuses to the game's economy. The most notable Lab Upgrade is the WMD: Widow of Mass Destruction. The WMD is Charlotte Smith's pet widow spider, Merriam. Once this upgrade is purchased from the Lab, the Player may call Merriam to create a giant spider web, which cocoons any enemies in its radius and slowly poisons them, and also slows any other enemies which have to crawl through the web. As the player goes through the game, many challenges are unlocked, which reuse the story levels in new and unique ways, with restrictions and different rules. Garden Defense has been compared to the genre of game, "Tower Defense," and has introduced elements such as tower moving, tower growing and anti-enemy deployment (as seen with the bugs.) | ||

This is the third full game in the Guitar Hero series and fourth game overall but the first to be on PC. The gameplay remains similar to the previous games: using a guitar-shaped controller, you need to coordinate pressing the five fret buttons and strumming to the scrolling notes on screen.

This edition of the game features 71 new songs to play from various artists including Cream, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, Santana, Sonic Youth, Weezer, and many more. In addition to the available songs the game also features "boss battles" against famous guitarists such as Slash, Tom Morello and Lou the Devil. Several game modes are available including career mode, co-op mode, and multiplayer mode. In addition to the main game modes, training and practice modes are available to aid in learning the game or figuring out a tricky passage in a song. | ||

An eccentric multi-millionaire called Charles Johnson hires a Hawaiian-based diving team to search for Japan's 800-year-old Diamond Medal, set with a 96-carat gem. This is a standard hidden object game. Objects (from a list at the top of the screen) have to be found within a time limit on locations cluttered with them. Three hints are provided at the start of each location. Using them removes 45 seconds from the timer. Each wrong click subtracts 10 seconds. Air tanks increase the time left by 30 seconds when collected. Jigsaw puzzles appear between stages and have to assembled. There are two timers at the top of the screen. The first one shows the time left to collect all the objects in the screen, the second one marks the overall time of the stage (comprised of several locations). When the first clock runs out, the location is reset with a new list of objects to be found. When the stage timer stops, the player has to find everything from all the stage locations again. | ||

Originally released in Japan in 1997, this was the first English PC version. Players take turns placing playing pieces in the shape of familiar polygons--triangles, rhomboids, trapezoids, and hexagons--on the gameboard, competing for points based on the placement of their own pieces. The rules are very simple, which will make the actual sophistication of the game itself very surprising indeed. Like chess or shogi, the game's developments are complex and wide-ranging; the more you play, the more intense it gets. The random distribution of playing pieces, and unexpected changes of direction in the course of play make it enjoyable for beginners as well as experienced players. The geometric shapes of the gameboard and playing pieces are unique and attractive. The game is very popular in Japan and a real board game was created as a spinoff. | ||

A student of archaeology called Adrianna Stone is summoned by her professor to travel around the globe, searching for stolen relics. This is a hidden object game, where players have to find the scattered items from a list at the right side of the screen, within a time limit. Each name from the list can be clicked to show a brief description and a picture of the object. Besides the common object hunt, there are special relics that have to be collected using one of the gadgets at the bottom. These machines are acquired at the gadget shop, available at the start of each chapter. They pulsate on the screen when a relic is hidden on the scenery. All the gadgets work the same way, when one of them is selected a round lens viewer appears on the screen that can be moved around, showing a distorted view of the scenery. A relic only appears when the lens is over it. The only difference between the gadgets is the way they distort the image. The magnifier only increases the image, while the sonar makes it swirl around the viewer. The gadgets are purchased at the shop with the stars received from playing mini-games. These games are implementations of classic puzzles: concentration, sliding-tiles, jigsaw and Tower of Hanoi. The games become more complex after each round. For example, the number of discs on the Hanoi puzzle increase after solving it. At the end of each chapter, there's a variation of gameplay as the final challenge. Sometimes the list is replaced with small pictures of specific parts of the screen that must be found and clicked by the player. In other moments the player has to search for several instances of the same object. There is also a spot-the-difference screen, where the player has to click on the differences between two similar images. Special items are concealed on the screen, like the magnifying glass that gives extra hints, and cans of gasoline that allow the player to travel to another location. | ||

Dr. Vladimir Chaosky has been missing from the face of the Earth for more than a decade. Now the trail of this Dr. Chaos gets warm again as he resurfaces bent on continuing his criminal ways. As a sole agent of Interpol you must travel the globe and search for clues and finally bring this madman to justice. This is for the most part a typical hidden object game. As is typical of this genre you must identify the listed objects in a photo-illustration. Few variations on the hidden object game-play conventions being level-end-puzzles where you must complete such tasks as identify differences between two photographs or simply finding the mistakes in one single photo to complete the level. If however you get stuck with a specific item and can't move to the next city there's a handy hint feature that will highlight any item you want from the list. The one other large thing that makes this game different is the almost completely immersive interface. From your icons to the world maps to the menu screens, the entire game is production designed to convey a sense of using Interpol computers and equipment to solve the puzzles. Each level is typically split into three stages and each level is themed after a world famous city. For example if your search takes you to New York, you can expect to scour The Statue of Liberty, Radio City Music Hall or The Brooklyn Bridge for clues. Other cities you can expect to explore include Paris, Moscow, Tokyo, Hollywood, London and more. If however you get stuck with a specific item and can't move to the next city there's a handy hint feature that will highlight any item you want from the list. | ||

| Jojo's Fashion Show | gameLab / iWin Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is the first game of what has become a series of games. It is a single player, fast, puzzle game based around the fashion industry. The story behind the game is that twenty years ago, Jojo Cruz was the hottest name in fashion when she retired to raise her family. Now her her daughter Rosalind has convinced her to restart her career. Does she still have the impeccable sense of mixing and matching that earned her the nickname, Mistress of Mix? There are two game modes, the fashion game and a dress-up game, the dress up game is a freestyle dressing game that uses items that have been unlocked in the main game - it cannot be played until some progress has been made in the main game. The main game consists of a series of levels based around a fashion event, level one is New York's Fashion week, level two is in London etc. The actual locations don't matter much but they are a convenient and convincing way to organize the game. Within each event the player must compete in ten shows and must achieve a specified score level in order to proceed to the next show, if the player fails to do this then they must replay the level. Before each show the player is given style tips on a particular look and what clothes will are needed to make it work, for example denim, leather, fringes and boots will make a western look that will score highly but they will score little in a 'rock and roll' look and nothing in a bridal or a hippy look. More styles are added as the game progresses, there are thirty five in all. During the show the player is given three models to dress, above each model is a sign showing the style in which they must be dressed and running along the bottom of the screen is a selection of shoes, bottoms and tops that the player uses to construct the required look. All of this is timed so getting the models out on the runway quickly is important. Once dressed the models are scored, well put together outfits will score highly and can bring power-ups as well as points. The player can only hold five power-ups at a time which encourages them to be used, common bonuses are: The Shuffle power-up - This changes the clothes the player has available and is useful when none of the clothes available fit the styles that the models require. The Dazzle power-up - The player has limited time to dress the models and sometimes it isn't enough, this bonus dazzles the audience with a bit of an unseen floorshow thus buying extra time. Matching Outfit - This will auto-dress a model with clothes appropriate to the required style. The Style Eye power-up - It looks like a magnifying glass and when enabled it will show the points that a piece of clothing will score in each style, very helpful when trying to dress for maximum points. In the background there are three outfits hung in a wardrobe, if the player can dress a model in any of these outfits they score a signature outfit bonus and unlock items in Dress Up mode. As the game progresses accessories become available, when paired with outfits these score extra points. | ||

A self-styled "retro remake" of the 1981 arcade game from Universal with the same name, taking up a compact 4 KB and most closely resembling the ColecoVision or Commodore 64 versions. Just like in the original, you control a ravenous ladybug in a maze filled with nutritious "x" symbols, which you must devour to proceed to the next level. The border that rings the maze also serves as an animated timer, and on each full rotation a new enemy bug will spawn at the center. These bugs will try and hunt you down, but they can be thwarted by using the revolving doors which change positions when used (altering the layout of the maze). Once they're all out of their lair, a special food item can be collected to freeze them for a while. Poisonous skulls are lethal both for you and for the enemy bugs, but other items can be more profitable, depending on their color when they're picked up: hearts will increase your score multiplier, and letters can be collected to spell out "EXTRA" and "SPECIAL" for bonuses. In 2006, Ladybug 2K6 a previous remake was released by danjosoftware for the 2006 Retro-remakes comp. | ||

Your goal in this game is to build up your own Little Shop of Treasures, but to finance this you must also work one-off shifts in various other shops and marketplaces. Wherever you are, the basic gameplay is the same; customers come in and request particular items, which you must find (in pictorial form) and click on for them to receive. In total there are 12 locations, with 1200 items between them. Each level has a total of 15 customers, with a minimum success target of 10 - any others are a bonus. A maximum of five customers are in the shop at a time, so new customers are constantly added to the display at the bottom until you've cleared 11. To discourage random click-and-hope play, the pointer is temporarily deactivated if you make 3 successive clicks on the wrong items. To help locate the items there is a 'Hint' feature, which shows the images of the objects in place of the names. You start with one on each level, but can activate more by finding the hidden ?s. | ||

This is a hidden object game, where the objective is to fulfill a series of customer orders, shown as cartoon characters with speech balloons at the bottom of the screen, within a time limit. Each level takes place in a different shop on a week day, where items are scattered around and the player must perform the shop clerk duties by finding and clicking on all the required objects. A minimum of 10 orders have to be fulfilled before closing time to receive the bronze star and successfully complete each scene and move to the next shop. Completing all the orders gives a gold star and a bonus round, where the player must find one extra item. Game progress is shown as small renovations performed weekly to an old movie theater, slowly transforming it into a movie memorabilia store. Besides the customer items, other bonus objects can be found on the locations. Sock monkeys and pigeons are found on every scene, exploding in an shower of bananas and feathers when clicked. The player receives a trophy after finding all of them. The ? marks are placed discreetly on the scenery, and can be collected for extra hints. The thermometer shows descending icicles and growing flames on the customer speech balloons, indicating the distance between the required objects and the cursor. The hint button replaces the objects names with images for a limited time. All locations completed in the main adventure mode are unlocked in the Blitz mode, where the objective is to collect every single object from each scene as fast as possible. | ||

His ka (spirit) must help the gods defend against evil deity Set's minions, bent on stealing their essences. It contains over 140 levels and seven gameplay modes. | ||

This is a doujin puzzle game based on Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. Operation is almost similar to Tetris: direction key control, Z key and X key control the direction of rotation, C key menu (pause). 4 adjacent RH of the same color can be eliminated, and attack the opponent. Eliminate multiple kinds in one action. The color is training attack, attack bonus. Eliminating RH when attacked can be offset, and the 9 storage tanks on the head (filling bombs?) are full in reward mode. The purpose of the game is to make the opponent RH pool full. | ||

Magic Academy is another entry in the crowded hidden object sub-genre of casual games. It was developed by the same Russian company behind the Mysteryville games, and it recycles the engine used in those games. The plot is a Harry Potter inspired fantasy mystery set in the titular magic academy. Besides the usual gameplay mechanics (cluttered screen with a list of objects that must be clicked), there are some variations and puzzles to break the monotony: sometimes the screen is spliced in two similar images and the player has to click on the differences between each side. In other moments, the list of objects names is replaced by their silhouettes. Some simple jigsaws also have to be assembled. | ||

This is a strict electronic conversion of the Vs. System collectible card game rules by Upper Deck. It includes cards from all of the Marvel-based Vs. sets through the X-Men set. The gameplay involves head-to-head battles where players recruit superhero characters with various strengths and powers onto the playfield. Each character has a basic Attack and Defense value which determines the outcome of individual character battles. This basic mechanic is augmented by character powers, Equipment cards (which give the character additional powers/stats), Location cards (which affect multiple cards or game rules while they are face up), and Plot Twist cards (which are often played to change the outcome of individual character battles by boosting Attack or Defense values). The game features two single player campaigns, tutorials, puzzles, and an online mode similar to Magic The Gathering Online. The online mode supports cross-platform play between the PC and PSP versions. | ||

Mortimer is investigating a manor owned by his great-uncle Jerome. To get his eccentric machine working, he must locate the required objects, and put them in the right places around the house. After this, he must work out who sabotaged the machine, and why. Gameplay is a variant of the object-finding genre, as you are presented with complete pictures of 4 objects on each screen, but on the screen itself these are split into small pieces. Thus you have to work out which fragments would fit one of the objects. You have 15 clicks to highlight pieces, for when you are stuck. Click randomly on the screen too many times and a ghost is summoned, to drift around the screen and partially block your view. Completed objects each have a place, not necessarily on the room their fragments are found in. To complete each floor, you must find the correct places for them - this will often reveal new pieces. | ||

This looks like Tetris at first glance, however instead of controlling the blocks, you control a little square guy who pushes them around. The goal is the same: Clear lines to gain points. However, you only gain points for the blocks in your color, and the only way to turn blocks into your color is to push them. Up to four players going at it, and only one can win. With either a time limit, score limit, or no limit at all, anything's fair and anything goes as long as you're the winner. Do whatever you can to destroy your opponents - jump on them, crush them, or trap them, and then steal their points.' Playing field too thin? Blocks fall too fast? Perhaps you'd like to triple the game speed? Blocko STE comes with the ability to modify the game to make it play however you want it to. There's never a dull - or fair - moment when there are so many falling blocks that your character can't fit on the screen, and guess what, you can make it happen. If you're bored of the themes supplied with the game, you can easily make your own themes. Use the provided templates in the Themes folder and draw away. Draw swear words, scale down some anime, it's entirely up to you. You can even draw your own clothes, hats or faces for the little guy, just go into the Accessories folder and hack away. | ||

An antique collector goes to London on a shopping trip and stumbles upon clues about the Jack The Ripper case while searching the town for new items. This is a hidden object game that has panoramic locations, where the player can turn the camera 360 degrees, and look up and down. The screen panning can be turned off, and the location browsed through a series of static photos. The objective is to click on several required objects, or group of objects listed on the screen. This list of names is sometimes replaced by silhouettes. In some instances, the list disappears and the player must click on objects that are pulsating on the screen. Mini-games appear between chapters that are variations on classic games like concentration, reversi, word search, spot-the-difference and others. | ||

| Mystery of Shark Island | PlayFirst, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

This is a hidden object game where the player must find shells and pieces of artifacts, half-buried in the beach sands of an archipelago. The plot is told through a series of sketch drawings with text that pop up on certain points in the game. The main character wakes up on a island, washed ashore with a broken arm besides a magic box that exchanges shells for keys. The main game screen is divided in two, the top portion showing the island shore covered with beach sand, shells and assorted flotsam and jetsam. The bottom portion is dedicated to the interface, showing the box and its strange cravings. At the start of each stage, a wave washes the beach and two sliding doors open up revealing the required items to complete the level. Most objects are shells and the occasional piece of bass relief, that must be found and clicked on the beach before the next wave comes. The objective of each level is to reach a set amount of points, shown at the left side of the box. Several correct clicks fill a conch-shaped streak meter that multiplies the points, while wrong clicks reset it. A blue meter shows the time remaining before the next wave. Picking objects of the same type in a row gives extra points. Some objects are covered with a layer of sand that must be brushed aside before they can be collected. Some power-ups coins appear randomly on the beach. The wind coin blows all useless objects from the screen. The super brush coin cleans all the sand covered objects of the beach. The strength coin makes lifting heavy rocks easier. The power lift coin takes away all heavy rocks from the beach. The hourglass coin increases the time before the next wave. At the end of each stage, the box reveals and stores a key on slots at the top. These keys are used after the final level, to rotate the segments of a circular jigsaw puzzle. | ||

Writer Laura Winner has psychic powers, aided by her spirit guide Dong Li. She has no intention of using them when she visits old friend Bill Witowski, in the sleepy town of Eurekaberg. However, when Bill is not in his room and proves hard to locate, she is drawn into a mysterious web. As Winner, you must solve the mystery by travelling through various locations (starting in your hotel, progressing onto places such as a church and a forest home), clearing pre-set puzzle screens. Most are variants of the object-finding gameplay style. Move your mouse cursor around the room clicking on the objects you are instructed to find, to remove them from the screen. A 'hint' feature is available to locate a specific object - after use this is disabled until it has charged back up. On most of these levels, you are shown silhouetted pictures of the objects (3 at a time), on others you are given their names (5 at a time), and on others you must find all variants of a specific object, such as crystals and keys. Persistant random clicks result in a time penalty. Additional level types are included. Winner will sometimes use her psychic powers to produce a different view of a level - use this to spot all the differences between the two, by moving a symmetrical cursor. One level requires you to shuffle words around to assemble a note written by Witowski (who has severe dyslexia), and another involves swapping blocks around to assemble a 5x5 picture. | ||

A magical amulet storing the power of the sea god Neptune is passed through generations, until the present days when it arrives in the hands of an orphan girl named Hannah. She grows up fascinated with the strange markings in the relic, and goes to Oxford to become an archaeologist. After graduating, she starts to search for the lost city of Atlantis. This is a hidden object game with adventure elements. Instead of the usual list of objects names, the game shows their silhouettes on a vertical strip at the right side of the screen. Each scene has three gameplay sessions that must be completed to move on. In the first one, the objective is to search the scenery, finding and clicking on all the required silhouetted objects hidden among debris and other assorted paraphernalia. In the next section, the goal is to find all the pieces of inventory tools scattered on the scenery, and the silhouettes are replaced with pictures of the tools with a number indicating the amount of pieces left. In the final part, the gameplay is similar to that of an point-and-click adventure game, where the objective is to drag the reassembled tools from the inventory and use them on parts of the scenery in a logical way. The amulet sits under the right side interface, and serves as the hint button. It has five jewels set on its face, and the position of one of the required objects is highlighted by some graphic effects after clicking on them. Extra gems can be found and collected on the scenery. | ||

This is a hidden object game with puzzles between each chapter. As usual, the player has to find objects of a list in a series of cluttered screens. At the start of each screen, a bonus points counter at the bottom-left starts to decrement slowly, acting as a timer. Clicking on wrong spots also subtracts points. If it reaches zero the chapter is restarted, and the player must find all the objects and solve any puzzle again. Each level has a scavenger hunt where a list is shared by several screens. A navigator at the bottom-right allows the player to jump between locations. The game has two modes: story and arcade. Story mode has a plotline that is revealed through comic book panels before and after each screen and puzzle. In arcade mode a timer replaces the bonus points. The objective is to complete each screen as quickly as possible. There are two puzzles: the logoscope and a cryptogram. The logoscope contraption compares two sets of clues to decode symbols. The player deducts their meaning and places the symbols in labeled slots around the screen. The game rejects the wrong ones. The cryptogram shows a coded message using objects instead of letters. The message is decrypted by placing the correct objects in letter bins around the screen. | ||

| Osu! | Dean "peppy" Herbert | [top] | |

This is a rhythm game whose basic gameplay is taken from Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan. As in that game, players hit circles, move through slider tracks, and spin wheels in time with the selected music track. A constantly draining health bar can be maintained by successful actions, and the level is failed if the bar ever reaches 0. Playing well also increases the player's final score and letter grade for the level. Levels in this game are called beatmaps, and many of them are created by players. In addition to five basic difficulty levels, osu! also offers modifiers to make gameplay easier or harder, while adjusting the score to compensate. Three other game modes also exist, each one offering a different style of gameplay. Taiko mode plays like the Taiko no Tatsujin games, in which the player must simply hit drum beats as they scroll across the screen. In Catch the Beat, beatmap elements from the standard mode of gameplay are converted to fruits that fall down from the top of the screen, and players move a character across the bottom of the screen to catch as many as possible. Finally, osu!mania has gameplay similar to that of the Beatmania IIDX series, in which the player hits buttons in time with falling music notes. | ||

In Peggle the player's objective is to clear out all the orange pegs on the screen. This is done by using a cannon at the top of the screen to shoot a metallic ball that bounces between the pegs. The hit pegs will then lit up before disappearing. In addition to the orange pegs there are also blue pegs that are the majority and give less points, purple pegs that are worth 50x the value of the blue and green pegs that activate a magic power. In total there are 10 magic powers, each tied to a character that can be chosen before a level. On the bottom of the screen is a bucket that moves left and right. Hitting the bucket results in an extra ball. For each level, the player has 10 balls to use. Four game modes are available. In the adventure mode the player progresses through all 55 levels to become a Peggle master. In the quick play mode, players can freely play any of the levels that have been completed in the adventure mode. In the duel mode, players can compete against a human or computer opponent. In the challenge mode extra difficult feats are offered. | ||

A moving "bucket" at the bottom of the screen offers free balls, while green power-up and purple "bonus multiplier" pegs provide additional twists.

The game includes an Adventure mode with two stages of five levels each, Quick Play to play any of the unlocked levels, Duel for a two-player mode against a friend or the computer, and ten new tasks in the Challenge mode.

This is a hidden object game from the same developers of Paparazzi. It has a very similar design to the previous game, where instead of removing objects from the scenery, the player has to take Polaroid pictures of them. A list of photo subjects at the top shows all the required objects that must be photographed within a time limit. Taking snaps while following the list order gives extra points. The assistant character at the top-left serves as the hint button, showing the position of one of the required objects but removing thirty seconds from the timer as a penalty. Hired as private detective, the player must go around the world investigating a criminal organization called "The Enigma Society". Some locations have an extra scenery, usually presented as a container of some sort, that brings up a separate hidden object screen with its own list. Bonus games appear between assignments, where the player has to find the differences between two similar images, or find a series of words among a pile of them that keep fading in and out of the screen. | ||

As with the other Ricochet games, Infinity is in every way the spiritual successor to the classic game Arkanoid. You use a paddle (in this case, a paddle attached to a spaceship) to bounce a ball into level after level of bricks with many different properties, all the while revealing power ups or other, less desirable things, such as bombs which will kill you. There are more than two hundred levels to be cleared over two episodes that come with the game. There are a few features that set it apart from previous games in the Ricochet franchise: a ring collecting system that unlocks new ships and new balls (referred to as ion spheres); a mouse party option that allows a second mouse to be plugged into your computer for head-to-head or cooperative play - this option requires at least Windows XP but each mouse can be a USB, a PS/2 or even a serial mouse; a near-infinite (hence the name) supply of user-created levels that can be downloaded from the company's online server; a recall button - by holding the right mouse button while your ball is in flight, you can exert a gravitational pull between the ball and the paddle, causing the ball to alter it's flight path left or right, depending on where your paddle is in relation to it. This feature works in quite a similar way to the gravity gun found in BreakQuest. | ||

Sally dreams of opening her own beauty salon and it's up to the player to help her. Sally begins with a small shop in the local mall and when that is successful, she branches out to open more franchises in other areas. Sally's Salon is a time management game where customers file in through the door desiring a variety of beautification services. These include hair washing, coloring, cutting, styling, drying, and eyebrow styling. Customers indicate what service they want next with a pictorial balloon above their heads. The player must guide them to the appropriate station in the salon and service the customer. The customers must have their needs met in a timely manner or else their satisfaction meters (measured in hearts) will decrease along with prospective tips. Customers will eventually leave if they are dissatisfied enough. Between days at the beauty shop, Sally can use her profits to purchase upgrades for the beauty shop such as more stations, faster equipment, and waiting area amenities for keeping the customers patient. Sally can also hire assistants to staff various stations, thereby lessening her own burden. | ||

When the family homestead needs to be sold the Scruffs pull together as a family to save it from the auction block. Thanks to Grandpa Scruff the family must go on a scavenger hunt around the house to gather valuable items to sell but they must be on the lookout for secret items that will collectively be a clue. A clue to what you say? A clue that will reveal a big secret and also save the family home by itself. This is a hidden object game where you must go around the various rooms of the Scruffs home and find hidden items. You must also be on the lookout for three other things; doggie biscuits, family photos, and the secret item. The doggie biscuits will be used to feed the family dog Scruffy so that he can help you find that one last item that you just can't seem to spot. He'll bark and jump when your pointer is near the object in question. The family photos will unlock a mini-game where the two Scruff kids will scribble something on the original photo and ask you to spot it. If you can do this enough times you will unlock yet another secret. The secret hidden item will be revealed every level after finding all the required items and putting together a scrambled photograph. This photograph reveals a different item and you must venture back into the rooms to look for it. There are 15 levels in total and 20 photographic mini-games. The player can choose to play the challenging timed/normal mode or the relaxed no timer mode. | ||

A man wakes up on a house full of classic paintings on its walls, with no recollection whatsoever of who he is, or how he end up there. By carefully examining the pictures, something triggers in his mind as he starts to find small discrepancies and anachronisms, and his memories slowly start to come back. This is a straightforward hidden object game using 19th century paintings for the background art. Each level is a different picture, with its title and author displayed at the bottom-left for a few seconds at the start. The objective is to find and click on all the objects from a list at the left side of the screen, within a time limit. Sometimes a bonus round appears, where the player has to find the differences between two similar images. A hint button provides help, indicating the position of one of the required objects. Three hints are available per scene, and using them removes some points from the final score. Successive wrong clicks take off 30 seconds from the timer. | ||

This is a hidden object game with a Hollywood theme. The objective is to click on the items listed at the left side of the screen, searching for them on locations cluttered with assorted objects. Each location is a movie set and, as a stagehand, the player has to collect all the props within a time limit. A star meter bissects the screen, separating the location from the list and the hint tools. The meter increases with every object collected, up to 5 stars. The sets can be played again to attain a higher score and provide a bigger box office success to the final movie. There's a curtain below the list that opens up to reveal a diffuse image of the required bonus object. When found, a movie reel with all the hints tools starts playing that, after clicking, stops in a frame with the prize tool. There are 6 hint tools available. The spotlight replaces the cursor with a light spot that becomes smaller when near of the required objects. The photographs show the image of one of the list items. The typewriter displays a hint about the place on the screen of one of the objects. The arrow creates a square around an area that has one of the items. The camera viewfinder becomes sharper as it gets near one of the objects. The chronometer stops the clock for a few seconds. | ||

This is a 3D strategy game where the player controls a marble through hazardous courses with different kinds of puzzles, with gameplay similar to Marble Madness or the more contemporary Ballance and Marble Blast. There are 5 worlds; Sky, Ice, Cave, Lava and Cloud, unlocked gradually and with different levels. Each narrow, winding course is played in mid-air and to complete a level the player has to guide the marble to the end where it boards a gyrocopter that transports it to the next course. To solve the puzzles, the marble often needs to be rolled into Morphs that can switch the shape to four different balls: Marble, Metal, Air and Power, each with different abilities and characteristics. For instance, the Powerball can be charged in a generator, providing the ability to jump, dash, or magnetism. The Airball can be inflated with helium to reach higher areas. Supporting the AGEIA PhysX engine both through software and hardware, blocks can be pushed or topple down, cloth tears when the ball is too heavy and all kinds of items can be moved around. The nature of the puzzles changes with each game world, with fans, switches, and tubes. The game is controlled through the mouse to move the ball, rotate and zoom. By holding down the left mouse button, the current speed is held to climb slopes or to move around without needing to move the mouse. Each level has gates that save the progress. When the ball drops down, the game is resumed for the last saved position. By completing courses quickly, players earn badges. | ||

This is a hidden object game where objects from a list must be found and clicked on 360º panoramic views of Rome's landmarks, within a time limit. The point of view can be panned around with the keyboard arrow keys, or with the mouse moving the globe in the middle of the interface at the bottom. Zooming in and out can be performed by the mouse scrolling wheel, or moving a interface slider with the cursor. The list of objects appears as a translucent overlay on the bottom-right of the screen, where the items automatically disappear after finding and clicking on them on the locations. A feature that highlights the objects names, if they are present on the screen, can be turned off at the beginning of the game. The hint button moves the point of view, centering it in one of the required objects. There are two modes, Tourist (no time limit) and Explorer. Jigsaw puzzles and other mini-games appear between chapters. In one of them, the objective is to find the differences between two similar images. A rendition of the traditional Italian card game called Scopa is included, with instructions. Each location has a special object that have to be swapped later, for clues telling the history of a noble family and their involvement with a diamond necklace that has magical powers. | ||

| Val'Gor: Dark Lord of Magic | "SoWhat!" s.r.o. / Big Fish Games Inc | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

The evil sorcerer Val'Gor plans to use his dark powers to change and conquer the world, introducing small and subtle changes to it until everything is under his control. His magic tome falls in the capable hands of a good-natured magician, that starts to use it to revert all the harm done by his evil-minded colleague, decreasing Val'Gor's influence with each fix. This is a spot-the-differences game, where most of the time the player has to find all the divergences between two similar photographic images. The game is divided in thirteen chapters, shown as pages of the book, each with eight pairs of pictures to be solved in any order within a time limit. When time runs out, the player gets another chance by completing a word search challenge to win some extra minutes. If the player fails again, the chapter is reset and all the pictures have to be completed from the start. The game gives extra time and bonus points when finding several changes consecutively. If the player finds three changes at the start of one of the pictures, the game awards an extra hint and bonus points. The hint coins at the bottom of the screen circle automatically one of the changes when clicked. Some areas randomly glint to indicate the existence of a nearby difference. At the end of each chapter, a bonus matching game has to be completed where the player must click on pairs of identical objects. Some pictures have other challenges, where one of the photos has to be reassembled from jumbled square pieces before starting to look for the differences. Randomly, Val'Gor appears to make most of the screen dim with a spell, leaving only a small roaming spotlight to be used to find all the differences. | ||

| Yahtzee Deluxe | Zylom Media Group BV / GameHouse, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|

Hasbro's Yahtzee gives players a set of five dice, with the aim of obtaining a scoring combination from three rolls (keeping any dice they like after each of the first two). There are 13 of these scoring combinations - The Upper Section allows you to only count dice of a particular digit (with a 35-point bonus if you total more than 63 (effectively, three of each)), while the Lower Section rewards specific tricks, such as small and large straights (runs of four and five consecutive numbers respectively) and the Yahtzee - five of a kind. You have 13 turns each, and if you can't score in a box, you must zero one. The strategy is therefore to maximise each box to obtain the best overall score. You can play the game this way, but two new modes are added to the computerised implementation. Triple Yahtzee maximises this strategic element - you play 39 turns each on a scorecard with 3 columns worth single, double and treble points. Strategy is therefore more advanced - Is a 3-of-a-kind score of 23 worth trebling, or could you get better in a future roll? Should a roll of four sixes go on your triple-score Upper Section, or on the double-score one which is marginal on reaching the bonus? Should you give up on the single-score Upper Section, and use it as a 'dump' for bad combinations? The Power Yahtzee mode is the meat of the game. On a standard gamesheet, you play as standard, but using advanced power-ups. These can guide you to favourable moves, inflict bad luck on opponents, block out certain squares on your opponent's board, and so on. Winning games of this unlocks further powerups. | ||

Starting March 2007, a weekly series of web-based mini-episodes of You Don't Know Jack were featured on youdontknowjack.com. The series ended after 100 episodes, and the backlog was kept online for a while, but eventually pulled down in late 2010 to make way for the 2011 YDKJ reboot as a full commercial game. While the Wayback Machine does have snapshots from this time, the games used complex secondary downloads that the web crawler was unable to find. This is a site-rip of the content of all 100 episodes, embedded in minimal HTML pages. Only the episodes themselves are preserved here - the surrounding web interface, blog posts, user comments, high-score tables etc. are not. Flash and JavaScript are required. | ||
