3 Skulls of the Toltecs

"3 Skulls of Toltecs is a decent cartoon adventure from media giant Warner Interactive that was curiously pulled even before it hit most store shelves for some unknown reason. In this frontier adventure, you're on a quest to find the 3 golden skulls of ancient Toltecs that reportedly point the way to their hidden treasure. Puzzles, while not inventive, are logical in this straightforward adventure. Recommended for those new to the adventure genre." --Underdogs

Ace Ventura

""Ace Ventura" is based on the Jim Carrey movie with the same title. You play an animal-detective, who helps animals in trouble. The game resembles "Leisure Suit Larry" in the way it treats adult material: there's no explicit nudity or pornographic scenes, but the dialogues, the jokes, the actions and the thoughts of the animal-loving hero go certainly in this direction.

Travel from Alaska via the magic land Vulcania to Bavaria in this comic adventure, that also contains some action elements. " --Moby Games

Adventures of Willy Beamish, the

"Willy Beamish is a kid who likes to goof off and have fun. Naturally all the grown-ups get in the way by making him go to school, making him clean his room, etc. But now that's school's out for the summer, Willy is determined to have a good time and maybe even have his pet frog win the frog jumping contest. However Willy has a habit of getting into trouble, and naturally that means it will be a challenge to get out of it.

The Adventures of Willy Beamish is a point-and-click graphical adventure. You play Willy Beamish, an eight year-old kid who is just trying to get through life without losing his lunch money. But he'll have to deal with parents, teachers, babysitters and bratty sisters. The player must solve different puzzles to ensure Willy can progress, get out of trouble and generally avoid ending up grounded." --Moby Games

Albion

"Albion is a severely underrated RPG from the makers of two Thalion hits Amberstar and Ambermoon, which became instant hits on the Amiga but unknown on the PC.The game shines with a richly detailed story, a huge and well-realized gameworld, a novel use of both 2D and 3D views, and some unique puzzles that are a far cry from the normal find-a-button-to-open-door puzzles found in most RPGs. As Tom Driscoll, a pilot who crash-landed on the exotic planet of Albion, you will make many friends and foes in your quest to find the mothership Toronto. The game is truly an epic adventure that spans vast areas and cities, all of which are teeming with colorful characters who always seem to have something to say. Puzzles are adventure-game style (i.e. use items from your inventory) mixed with standard find-secret-door-and-avoid-traps puzzles. None of them is dull, however, because each building and dungeon you enter is so well detailed and differentiated from each other, that exploration is never boring. With great graphics, fun 3D combat sequences, and a truly epic and captivating plot that could make a real novel, Albion is simply a must-have for all scifi & fantasy RPG fans. Highly recommended, especially to fans of Wizardry games." --Underdogs

Alien Legacy

"Designed by Joe Ybarra, designer of the classic Starflight games, Alien Legacy is an excellent space strategy game with a good dose of adventure and action elements thrown in.

Alien Odyssey

"Alien Odyssey is a fun but little-known multi-type action game by Argonaut Software that is similar to Cyberia in concept: it's got action, flight sim, adventure, and Full Motion Video (FMV) sequences all rolled into one entertaining CD. The game casts you as Psaph Abal, a member of a future race whose craft is stranded upon a distant planet. As you emerge from the wreck, you encounter a strange alien being chased by some evil-looking robots. Sensing that the robots are the bad guys, you hop on a speed bike and begin blasting the robots with your laser pistol, while chasing the alien to rescue him....

The bike chase through the forest is a lot of fun, although it's a "rail shooter" sequence (think Rebel Assault) that restricts your movement to merely moving crosshairs and firing on the baddies. However, the great graphics and good variety make this a fun part: the path you take is never the same, and there are countless movie clips to discover. Too bad the subsequent sections of the game aren't as well-made, although they are still interesting enough to hold my interest. The 3D portion of the game includes adventure-style puzzle-solving, interspersed with real-time combat sequences to keep things exciting, and the driving portion toward the end reminds me of Descent minus 360-degree freedom of movement." --Underdogs

"Alien Trilogy is a first-person shooter based on the first three Alien movies. You control Lt. Ripley in three sections, each based on one film: The colony complex on LV426 (from Aliens), the prison planet (from Alien³) and the derelict spaceship (from Alien). Each section consists of about 10 missions. In every mission, certain goals must be accomplished to continue. These include killing a certain number of enemies, finding items or activating switches.

Enemies include everything the Alien life cycle provides: facehuggers, chestbursters, warrior aliens, dog aliens (from Alien³) and Alien queens, one of which waits in the final mission of every section. In addition to the Aliens, you also have to fight employees of the Company, who have either been infected by the Aliens and are beyond saving or who actively want to obstruct your mission.

Weapons to be used include pistol, shotgun, pulse rifle, flame thrower and smart gun. Ammunition, health upgrades and other useful items are scattered throughout the levels. Hidden areas may be uncovered by using explosives like grenades and seismic charges. An auto mapping system helps in not getting lost, night goggles and shoulder lamps (running on battery power) allow you to see in the dark and the motion tracker tells you where your enemies are - but only if they are moving." --Moby Games

Both, Western Allies and Soviet Forces, can be played (Pacific theatre is not included). The game interface is only slightly enhanced, unit and map graphics are the same as in its predecessor."

Al Unser Jr. Arcade Racing

"As the game title implies, Al Unser is an arcade style racer for Windows. Doesn't offer much to the simulation freak, but if you're looking for a simple race-around-a-track game with fast smooth graphics, then this might be just right for you. The controls seem to get a bit too responsive on faster computers."
--Moby Games

Amber: Journeys Beyond

BioForge

"In the far future, a fanatical group of religious extremists known as the Mondites have begun a campaign of galactic conquest. Lead by the seriously whacked-out Prime Paragon, the Mondites believe in the evolution of man through machine by cybernetic implants. Unfortunately everyone they've applied their theory to so far has ended up either dead or insane. Until you came along.

You are a prisoner in a Mondite complex with no memory of your former life. Your body has been turned into a hideous cybernetic nightmare by the evil Dr. Mastaba. The Mondites have discovered a long dead alien civilization of unimaginable power. And to make matters worse one of the aliens was accidentally revived from its tomb and is now running rampant throughout the complex.

Bioforge is an action-adventure game similar to Alone in the Dark. It features polygonal characters over pre-rendered backgrounds, and 3D Tekken-ish combat." --Moby Games

Birthright - The Gorgon's Alliance

"Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance is a strategy role-playing game based on TSR's Birthright world of Anuire. It combines first person dungeon and castle quests, tactical real-time graphical battles, and complex economic and diplomatic strategy. Play against challenging computer opponents or other cunning human players." --Moby Games

Black Moon Chronicles

"Black Moon Chronicles is a strategy game based on the comic book series of the same name.

The player is cast as Wismerhill, a Half-Elf, who is forced to choose sides between four camps: The Empire, The Order of Justice, The Knights of Light and The Army of the Black Moon.

The gameplay is kind of a mixture between Warcraft and Heroes of Might and Magic. The game contains some art from the comics." --Moby Games

Blade Runner

Blood

"You are a feared gunslinger, until you attempt to help a woman whose life has been destroyed by a mysterious Cabal. You too are sucked in and killed; when resurrected you are out for revenge.

Ken Silverman's Build engine is the basis for what was possibly the goriest first-person shooter ever made up to this time. The environment is fully interactive, with moving floors and active vehicles. Destruction of landscapes is possible, and bullet holes being left by misplaced shots. The Build engine is 2.5D, so there are rooms above rooms and puzzles which are based on this.

People explode violently when taken out, to the point that you can use a zombie's head like a football. Impaled victims can be found lying around, and people die in different ways depending on how they are attacked and in which part of their body." --Moby Games

BloodNet

"You play as Ransom Stark, a computer hacker, scrounger or mercenary (depending on how the player answers the opening questions when they start a new game) who finds himself caught up in a sinister affair involving an evil global megacorporation, TransTechnicals, Manhattan, a fight for Cyberspace and vampires!

Ransom Stark became stricken with Hopkins-Brie Ontology Syndrome whilst working at TransTechnicals, due to his forced extended exposure to Cyberspace while he worked there. As soon as he was diagnosed he was dismissed from TransTech and found himself homeless and hopeless. Thankfully an ingenious woman, with a personal vendetta against TransTech, named Deirdre Tackett saved his life by inserting a prototype brain implant of her own design and this restoring his grip on reality.

BloodNet is an adventure game with RPG elements." --Moby Games

Blue Ice

Blue Force

"Unarguably the best game from the group of renegade ex-Sierra employees that made up Tsunami, Blue Force is an excellent police adventure by none other than Jim Walls, of Police Quest fame. Despite easy puzzles, hackneyed dialogues, and a cliche plot, the game features a great interface, charming characters and graphics, and lots of optional points. Help rookie Jake Ryan on investigations that will shed light on his parents' mysterious death. It's much easier than Walls' Police Quest games, but it's still a great adventure that will particularly appeal to beginners. Much better than overhyped Police Quest 4 (which was not designed by Walls) at least. Two thumbs up!"
--Underdogs

Bodyworks Voyager - Mission in Anatomy

"An educational game cum shoot-em-up. In Bodyworks Voyager - Missions in Anatomy, players go through a course learning the basics of human anatomy and test their combat skills against various infections.

It is nearing the end of the 21st. century and despite phenomenal gains in technology, humanity is still plagued by infectious desease. In fact things are much worse than ever before. Many new strains of infection and disease begin to appear in the late 20th. century that were highly resistant to conventional medicine. These infections manifested themselves as normal symptoms of common ailments but they quickly multiplied and changed. A common cold or a simple scracth could become life threatening in a matter of hours..." --Moby Games

Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

Caesar

"The first in the strategy series set in the Roman Empire’s peak era starts off with you as ruler of a small province, although if you’re successful you will get tougher assignments.

You must build the city, placing crucial features such as housing estates, roads, policing, water supply, social events and the like. You’re not restricted to one city – you can build another area, linked by roads, once you’ve got the first one running smoothly. You have slaves at your disposal to build and maintain everything. " --Moby Games

"After years of false starts and misdirected attention with its flawed "Micro Miniatures" series, Impressions finally found their true calling in Caesar, a great city and empire management game that can aptly be labeled Sim City in Rome." --Underdogs

Caesar III

Cannon Fodder

Cannon Fodder 2

Capitol Hill

"A game that lets you learn about congress by tutorials and lectures from actual house and senate members. You get to play a representative from the state of your choice and join committees and meet with foreign aides. You select your staff and set your goals. And when its time, you can work on your re-election campaign. There is also a quiz game to see how much you've learned.

There are several video clips of one of the California senators, explaining the decision process as you play the game." --Moby Games

Case of the Cautious Condor, The

Chaos Overlords

"Gameplay is very like a boardgame. Each turn, a selection of three gangs is made available to you, from this pool you may hire or dismiss one. An extensive range of gangs is included, from Disgruntled Postal Workers to Renegade Nuns. Once hired, your gangs are dispensed throughout the city with instructions to seize control of the aforementioned locations (obtaining research bonuses from research centres, accelerated healing from hospitals, etc), shakedown the public for cash, research new weapons and technology or attack enemy installations.

Each gang may be outfitted with a weapon (ranged or melee) an item of protective gear and one miscellaneous item (performance-enhancing drugs, smoke bombs and 'cool shades' are a few examples). Getting the right gang & researching the perfect accessories for them is where much of the fun lies.

Combat, when it occurs (which is often) is automated, this is a strategy game, not a tactical simulation. Action is simultaneous turn-based with an optional time-limit to keep things moving. Multiplayer is supported through hotseat, modem, LAN or internet (TCP/IP) and is more stable than some current releases (possibly due to low average system specs when it was released)."  --Moby Games

Chronomaster

Clandestiny

"Clandestiny seamlessly weaves traditional Scottish myth and lore into a modern story line. The game also offers a built-in reference guide that you can view at any time to learn more about Scottish culture. While the puzzles are of the parlor variety and seem detached from the main story line, it hardly takes away from the game. The solutions are usually simple, clean, and logical.

Clandestiny is quite a gem and an ultra rare diamond in the rough. A definite highlight from the creators of the 7th Guest and the 11th Hour." --Underdogs

Claw

Clue!, The
(a.k.a. Der Clou!)

"The Clue! is an original mix of adventure and strategy. You are Matt Stuvysant, a young criminal wannabe trying to strike it rich in London... through robbery. Adventure elements include talking to other people for clues on potential targets and recruiting accomplices and getaway car drivers, while strategy involves planning every detail of the burglary, including escape route and more. Great game overall, but difficult due to the wealth of information and names you must keep track of. Still, if you like adventure games that successfully combine elements from other genres, or just unique games in general, The Clue! is a must-play that will keep you entertained for dozens of hours. Two thumbs up, and an entry into our Hall of Belated Fame." --Underdogs

Comanche CD

"Compilation of the voxel-based simulation of the Helicopter RAH-66. It contains the following games:

• Comanche: Maximum Overkill
• Comanche: Global Challenge (Add-On)
• Comanche: Over the Edge (Add-On)

In addition, the compilation offers also 10 bonus missions." --Moby Games

Command & Conquer - Tiberian Dawn Gold Edition

Congo, Descent Into Zinj

Conqueror - A.D. 1086

"Strategy/managerial game set in the medieval England, much like Defender of the Crown. You start out as a young knight in control of a small fiefdom and perform the usual managerial decisions to develop your economy, raise an army and expand your territory. RPG and arcade gameplay are also thrown into the mix as you have to develop your character as a knight, going to melee and joust tournaments (actually arcade sequences) to gain experience. They also have other uses such as affecting your popularity and offering you the chance to expand your fiefdom by allowing you to courtship noble ladies.

The game is mostly played from an isometric view, except for some specific screens, and uses svga graphics. When does the game end? you actually have two choices: when you grow tired of obeying William the Conqueror's orders and march to London to rip his crown off, or when you go the hero route, and hunt down the enormeous dragon that has been scorching the lands for years." --Moby Games

Constructor

"Constructor is a fun, tongue-in-cheek business simulation in the same style as MicroProse's early classic Pizza Tycoon. Essentially, Constructor takes the empire building and resource management of the best simulations and adds to it a strong dose of character interaction, humor, and strategic competition. Take the role of a real estate developer in a race to build up and manage resources, properties, environments, and human interaction, while trying to outperform and destroy rival development firms.

The game is played from an isometric perspective, with you looking at the town and people milling around in it, similar to SimTown. You need to build houses and facilities to get your raw material like wood and concrete. While playing you have to get rid of whining tenants, cucarachas, your opponents and their attacks to destroy your buildings. There are a total of 40 different structures that you can create in the game. These range from steel mills and pawn shops to more elaborate structures like police stations and mansions."

"As good as the single player game is, the game also offers excellent multiplayer options. Up to four people can compete, making resources and time management more important than ever. With a twist of humor and well-balanced gameplay, Studio 3 has created a real underdog in Constructor. The economics model is sound, and the gameplay always fresh, funny, and engaging. Highly recommended, especially to anyone who enjoys Pizza Tycoon or Bullfrog's games. Two thumbs up!" --Underdogs

Corridor 7 - Alien Invasion

"In year 2012, it was finally possible to send a space ship to Mars. The scientists returned with a small object of unknown origin, which was supposed to be a proof for the existence of life on Mars. The object was placed in a special research facility, in the deepest place known as "Corridor 7". Exposed to gamma radiation, the mysterious object caused a portal to appear, which connected two worlds. Alien invasion began. It's time for you, a brave special agent, to descend into Corridor 7 where the fate of humanity must be decided.

This is a first-person shooter that uses the engine of Wolfenstein 3D. The levels are mostly maze-like, and your task is to kill the aliens who attack you on the way, and make sure you survive their attacks."
--Moby Games

Crime Patrol

Cruise for a Corpse

"Cruise for a Corpse is a fun murder mystery that is long on presentation but short on gameplay. The plot is heavily inspired by Agatha Christie's Murder on The Nile: the game takes us France, 1927, where aboard the luxury liner 'Karaboudjan III' the ship's owner, Niklos Karaboudjan, is found dead by his butler. Following the best murder-mystery tradition that a policeman or detective is always by chance on board, Inspector Raoul Dusentier is amongst the passengers. But before he can scrutinize the crime scene, some unknown figure knocks him out from behind and the corpse is removed."

"For all its frustrations, Cruise for A Corpse is still an enjoyable mystery, mostly due to its great atmosphere and interesting plot. If it weren't for extreme pixel-hunting, some bugs, and absurd writing (it was translated from French), it would be a truly great game." --Underdogs

Curse of Enchantia

"Curse of Enchantia is a graphic adventure game with an icon-based interface.

Lil' Brad didn't believe in witches until he met one. The evil hag torments the fantasy land of Enchantia, and has just summoned Brad from the Earth as an ingredient to her potion of eternal youth. Brad doesn't like this plan. And who would be better suited to rid Enchantia of the sorceress than a tender teen? Well? A heavily armed mercenary? Yeah, good point, but there's none available, I'm sorry. Brad'll have to do.

Starting in a prison cell, you help Brad free himself and find his way on the ocean floor, through a medieval city, a junk yard and an ice castle. You command Brad via an icon bar that pops up if you press the right mouse button. Our hero can perform plenty of actions, e.g. wearing, inserting, combining or fighting. Apart from steering Brad around, you do not need to click on the screen. Brad has to stand next to the object he wants fiddle with, which will then appear as an icon in the command bar."

"You cannot die in Curse of Enchantia; in fact, doing potentially deadly things is often rewarded with funny animations." --Moby Games

Crystal Hammer

CyberGladiators

"In a freak accident, Alliance members of a Gy Djin terrorist attack were transformed into CyberGladiators, a powerful cyborg fighting force. Powerful Gy Djin members in prison were also transformed into CyberGladiators. When the Gy Djin CyberGladiators escaped from prison they faced a showdown with the Alliance. In this game, you can fight on the side of the Alliance or the Gy Djin in this futuristic cyborg fighting game." --Moby Games
