I.M. Meen

"The eponymous villain of the game I.M. Meen has a serious pet peeve-- he can't stand it when children study. Thus, he creates a magical book that, when read, traps children in Meen's evil labyrinth. As the player, you assume the role of one of 2 new children trapped in the maze. Your mission is to free the other children imprisoned in this dungeon and find a way out for yourself. As you walk around the first-person perspective maze, you will encounter a number of fearsome monsters to make your quest difficult. However, you have the ability to punch the enemies."

"The educational aspect of this game involves completing miniature assignments in order to free imprisoned children. For example, a letter from Gnick to Meen is displayed along with the instructions to correct the 2 punctuation errors contained in the text. Once the player successfully completes the task, a fellow captured child is freed." --Moby Games

Imperialism

"A turn-based strategy game about the imperialistic expansionism of the 18th and 19th century. Unlike many 'conquer the world' games, the sole emphasis isn't on military conquest. Imperialism promotes victory through a combination of methods, including the relatively unique notion of exploiting underdeveloped nations and expanding your territories through military, political, and economic means."

"Gameplay takes place on a world map, where you maneuver your strategic units to build, explore, or develop your empire. Combat takes place on its own turn-based battlefield. A number of other screens allow you to manage your economic and diplomatic stances and set your production and trade levels." --Moby Games

Inca

"You are a space pilot who can travel through time. Now your mission is to land in South America at the time of the European invasion, and find the mysterious treasure of the great Inca civilization.

Inca is a game that combines adventure and action, or to put it more correctly, it's an adventure games with many action elements (such as space combat)." --Moby Games

Jazz Jackrabbit 2
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 - The Secret Files

"In this sequel to Jazz Jackrabbit, you have 4 different worlds to finish all featuring eight-layer smooth parallax scrolling in up to 640x480 high resolution VGA modes. Different from the existing worlds you can make and play your own levels by using Jazz Creation Station (3-level shareware version is also included within the game!).

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 allows you to play not only with Jazz but also with his brother Spaz! They both have their own special moves and you can even use both character in some of the levels of the game. And there is party mode too! You can either play at the same computer with splitscreen up to four players or up to eight players on two screens via modem, having the opportunity to choose from 5 different game modes... " --Moby Games

"The Secret Files is a separate episode to Jazz Jackrabbit 2. It features nine new levels containing new textures, and enables you to play as a third character, Lori. Unlike the original game, TSF's gameplay can be difficult at times, but in almost each level, there are alternate routes that you can take, and once they discover them, it will make them play the game all over again, just to take different routes.

If players complete the nine levels and still can't get enough of the game, then they may try their luck in 20 other levels that were created by fans of the game, including the single-player level, "A sting in your tail!". Like Jazz 2, TSF still comes with JCS, the Jazz Creation Station, where gamers have the opportunity to build their own levels." --Moby Games

Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds

"The game based on Jeff Wayne's musical play and the classic science fiction novel by H.G. Wells. it is the year 1898 and the Martian have escaped from their dying homeworld to conquer the Earth and take its resources - and the blood of its inhabitants.

Take either side in this epic real-time strategy game. You can play as the Martians with their superior technology and powerful but expensive war machines in their campaign to take over Great Britain and the rest of the world. Or play as the weaker but more numerous Humans to turn back the alien onslaught before their fiendish plans can be made reality."

"You must use your time wisely to build up your forces and production facilities within your sectors before the enemy can launch their attack. Research new technologies, construct new buildings, and build new military units to win the game and save your race. The fate of your species, whether Human or Martian, is on the line." --Moby Games

Jewels of the Oracle

"Jewels of the Oracle is a stationary puzzle game with no real story line or plot. A total of 24 well-designed, ingenious puzzles must be solved, each independent of the others. Most of them can be played in two difficulty levels (Easy or Hard), and the Oracle provides clues to help along the way.

The beautiful graphics, where the puzzles reside, are designed in an Egyptian or Mesopotamian style. Music plays in the background to provide atmosphere, but it can be turned off if it gets repetitive. The basic layout is a hexagon around an Oracle's well. There are three doors on the outside of the hexagon, and the first one is where you begin the game. In each room is a puzzle you have to solve to get a jewel which must be taken back to the Oracle's well."

"Since there is no real story line or deeper meaning behind all this, Jewels is not an adventure game but rather a collection of challenging puzzles in a gorgeous setting. If you enjoy this game, be sure to look play its sequel Jewels II: The Ultimate Challenge." --Moby Games

Kingdom - The Far Reaches

"In this adventure game, step into the shoes of Lathan Kandor, a young boy, to defeat the evil Black Wizard. Lathan will find help from his mentor, the mighty magician Daelon. Explore the fantasy lands of the Far Reaches and retrieve three of the five pieces of the ancient relic called The Hand of Mobus. Talk to a variety of characters, collect objects and solve adventure type problems and puzzles.

Kingdom: Far Reaches features mouse control, video animations, cartoon-like graphics, an in-game travel map and original music which can be turned off if desired." --Moby Games

Kingdom O' Magic

"A fantasy adventure game spoof - along the lines of Zork but with British Humour. Play as either an unintelligible Green Lizard Guy (use subtitles) or the token female - who was intended to be humourously overproportioned although now Tomb Raider has raised the standard.

The designers intended for the game to be non-linear, and many NPCs wander around the entire map getting into fights with each other.

Entirely comedic - the troubleshooting guide in the manual discusses sexual malfunction. The dialogue trees encourage the player to be abrasive and confrontational - not doing so will cause you to miss out on much of the enjoyment, and many of the puzzles."

Knight Moves

"Knight Moves puts a twist on the old chess game and puts you in charge of a knight that has to leap his way trough increasingly complicated chessboards filled with enemies, hazards, power-ups and treasures. Your knight moves in the traditional L-shaped patterns, which means you'll have to constantly be planning ahead, and quickly too, because the knight is in constant motion, and you only have a few seconds to decide its next move.

The game is played in a 3-D board, but the graphics consist mostly of 2-D scaled sprites and the chessboards themselves are irregular affairs with walls, pits, etc."

Knight Rider

"This is a game based on the famous TV series Knight Rider starring David Hasselhoff, which aired from 1982 to 1986 in the US.

In the game, the player takes control over the Knight Industries Two Thousand, better known as KITT, a high-tech, fully computerised car. Together with Michael Knight, you have to fight crime in 10 missions and 15 races.

Many original ideas from the TV series have been included in the game. KITT, Michael, Bonnie and Devon are all in the game, as are the evil Garth and KARR. The player can also use various original functions of the car, like Turbo Boost, Super Pursuit Mode, Ski Mode or the famous Scanner, whose sound everyone should recognise.

The game can only be played in campaign mode, where KITT and Michael have to solve a mysterious case, starting out as a simple bank robbery." --Moby Games

Labyrinth of Crete

"The second game Cliff Johnson (Fool's Errand) designed for Phillips Interactive is virtually identical to Merlin's Apprentice, with ancient Greek myths as the backdrop this time instead of Arthurian legends.

The game's premise is that you have been sentenced to death for stealing from Hera, Queen of the Gods. The only way to freedom lies in the twisted path of the Labyrinth of Crete. Each turn presents new puzzles, angry gods and goddesses, and deadly monsters to thwart your attempt at escape.

Puzzles in Labyrinth of Crete will be familiar to anyone who has played Merlin's Apprentice. There are some action puzzles that require you to click on objects that float by, several logic puzzles that involve moving objects into a certain configuration using only a few types of movements, and word puzzles requiring deciphering some encrypted sentences. The game has three difficulty levels which can be set on a puzzle-by-puzzle basis and changed during the game. And, like Merlin's Apprentice, the state of partly finished puzzles is not saved when you close your game. The logic puzzles, naturally, present the most challenge, although some of them can be quite hair-pulling at hardest difficulty level." --Underdogs

Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos

Last Dynasty, The

"Think Wing Commander, just not as good gameplay but it still has the movie aspect. Wage battle in space to protect "The Ultimate Knowledge", which few people know what it is. The game's plot is pushed forward through a series of FMV sequences. As an odd addition to the game, there is a myst-like adventure sequences that you must also go through." --Moby Games

The Last Express

"One of the most original and atmospheric adventures ever released, The Last Express is a masterpiece that exemplifies what storytelling should be. You are Robert Cath, who boards the train in Paris to meet a friend only to find him dead. The list of innovations in the game is endless: from the surprisingly effective comic-book-meets-art-nouveau graphics style, exciting real-time gameplay, and gripping story, you'll be playing and re-playing this game for days to come. The lack of challenging puzzles and some frustrating combat didn't prevent it from being a true classic. If you love adventure games, you owe it to yourself to try this incredibly innovative and absorbing game - one that will compel you to replay more than once as you follow optional paths and try to unravel the mystery. A must-have." --Underdogs

Last Rites

"Zombies have taken over the world and as a commander of Special Forces it's your mission to rescue humanity. Last Rites is a mission-based Doom clone and settled in the future providing you an arsenal of hi-tech weapons. The game's 3D-Engine is on Doom level and has the ability to create large outside and inside levels. One special thing about Ocean Software's game is, that in at least half the missions you have a team of four other commandos with you, who give you covering fire and help you fight the zombies. The game was only released in Europe."

"The Legend of Kyrandia was the first in a trilogy of adventures from Westwood. In this game you play the role of Brandon, grandson of Kallak - a wizard of the realm of Kyrandia. Malcolm, a psychotic jester imprisoned in the past by Kallak, has broken free and wishes to take over the land as well as lay down his revenge. He turns Kallak into stone leaving him with only his eyes, so that Kallak is not denied his tears for Kyrandia's sake." --Moby Games

Lighthouse - The Dark Being

"My "Top Dog" for this game comes with a huge warning: I am biased for difficult games.That said, Lighthouse is the game for you if you, too, are an experienced adventurer who revel in difficult puzzles. Lighthouse is not just hard-- it's also very unforgiving as it'll happily let you advance without all the necessary items. The results of actions you do have to be uncovered most of the time. Still, it's got a great surrealistic story (explore a strange world to find your missing daughter), good length, and did I mention wonderful but difficult puzzles? <G>"  --Underdogs

Lion

"PC Gamer said it all: "With Wolf, Sanctuary Woods [produced] a roleplaying simulation that detailed the everyday life of wolves in the wild. By challenging the player's skill in hunting, killing, mating, and survival... Lion isn't quite the step beyond Wolf you might expect, but it does have its nice little touches... You can use the long grass to creep up on your prey; vultures circle overhead at the kill site; and your eyes glow a fierce amber in the darkness of the savanna night. This fresh approach to "edutainment" painlessly enlightened us, while entertaining as few games have done before." Definitely the best animal simulations ever made that successfully combine fun, realism, and educational content. Highly recommended!" --Underdogs

Lode Runner Online: The Mad Monks' Revenge

"Lode Runner On-Line: The Mad Monks' Revenge is the new and improved version of Lode Runner: The Legend Returns. Developed and released in 1995 by Presage (now Human Code), makers of The Legend Returns and published by Sierra, it is basically the same game as its predecessor, but with some new features and additional levels. The most notable new feature is the ability to play a 2-player game over a network connection, which is incredibly addictive, especially if you have a willing friend (read: victim) on the other end of the phone line. Other new features are regenerating bombs, disappearing turf, and "personalized" items that can only be used by one of the two players.

It is unfortunate that Sierra decided to name the game Lode Runner On-Line, as this has probably led many people to believe that this is an on-line-only game (similar to Ultima On-Line for example). This is not true; in fact it has every feature that Legend Returns has, and many more. In addition to multiplayer modes, there are more devious levels and more varied background graphics and tile sets that make the level editor much more robust and fun to design new levels with. Overall, if you enjoy Legend Returns, you'll love Lode Runner On-Line at least twice as much. And best of all, Todd Daggert, the lead programmer of this gem, put it up for free download on his Lode Runner Online page in 2002. Two thumbs up, way up!"--Underdogs

Louis Cat Orze: The Mystery Of The Queen's Necklace

"This is a CD-ROM history lesson cleverly designed as a mystery. The Queen's necklace has been stolen, and you, the trusty investigator, have a short six days to track down the thief. The Royal Palace at Versailles is the scene of the crime. Aided by the mischievous Louis Cat Orze, a feline of royal descent if there ever was one, you must explore the palace and the surrounding countryside, listen in on conversations, and occasionally pick a pocket. Louis Cat Orze isn't a free ride, though-fees must be paid, palms greased, and while you begin the game with a certain amount of livres, you have to investigate thoroughly and learn about the era in order to earn more. Or you can try your hand at the Palace Games to increase (or decrease) your purse. Once you think you know the identity of the thief, you can present your accusation to the king - if you can afford to see him, and if you haven't been thrown into the Bastille! It has its share of pitfalls; some of these you learn by doing, and some are buried in the manual (read it completely)."

Lucky Luke - Western Fever

"The game is based on the famous comics series about good cowboy Lucky Luke.

You as Lucky Luke have to walk around the fixed tracks on Mexican territory and sometimes shoot the bandits, moving the aim of your gun from one fixed position to another. Also you have to avoid their shooting and reload bullets in your gun."--Moby Games

L-Zone

"The player arrives at a mysterious domed city. It is uninhabited but filled with strange machinery which can be operated. There is also danger present in the form of robots and traps. The goal is to try to understand the purpose and find the escape to the Green planet." --Moby Games
