18th Airborne
18th Airborne is a fun and hugely underrated (and unknown) action/strategy game from Taiwanese developer Spectrum Information. Although it looks like a typical top-down two-player frag fest, 18th Airborne is very different from your ordinary shooter. Gameplay in a nutshell: fly your plane around to first get fuel from your...
3-Demon
One of the first 3D games I played on the computer. It's actually a Pacman clown but instead of viewing topdown, you see the field from Pacman's persepctive....
3D Monster Maze
To put across how much this game scares me, I really should gibber uncontrollably for most of this review. If this image entices you, read on. Arguably the best game on the Sinclair ZX81 computer (the big brother of ZX Spectrum), 3D Monster Maze is pretty unique, even in its...
3D Pinball Express
3D Pinball Express is a so-so pinball game from COSMI that is apparently one of the worst pinball games ever released, at least according to pinball expert Martin Mathis' review:"Multi-table bargain bin package with four themes, each featuring three different table layouts. 3D table view selectable as scrolling or non-...
4D Prince of Persia
As 4D Prince of Persia reminded me an awful lot of Prince of Persia 1, I at first thought that this was the same game. And some of the levels looked very similar to the levels in Prince of Persia 1.But it's not the same game. It uses the exact...
A7xpg
A7xpg and Parsec47 are two more superb "abstract shooters" from Kenta Cho, prolific Japanese freeware developer. If you have played rRootage or Noiz2sa (or hopefully both), you know what to expect here: two more insanely addictive shooters to add to your collection. Abstract, hypnotic, luminescent geometric shapes and frantic action...
Aargh
Aaargh! There's a giant monster coming to smash our village in search of those huge slices of pizza and fruit we've hidden... Most games put you in the role of the good guy, charging you with protecting the world, saving the princess or other such honorable deeds. Few are the games...
ABM Command
ABM Command is one of the numerous clones of classic arcade game Missile Command, but this is one of the more faithful ones, with the familiar gray towns and green laser streaks across the sky. If you don't know what Missile Command is like (and chances are the only reason...
Absolute Pinball
When I first heard about this game, I had high expectations. After all, it was published by 21st century Entertainment, the company who had one year earlier releaser the awesome Pinball Illusions. No bad game could come from them, right? Wrong. For this time, they didn't choose Digital Illusions as the...
Absolute Zero
Absolute Zero is yet another missed opportunity for Domark: a game that offers an innovative premise that is so refreshing that it makes poor gameplay all the more regrettable. GameSpot's review says it all: "The starfighter genre has been around since Star Raiders debuted on the Atari 800, and few...
Abu Simbel Profanation Deluxe
Abu Simbel Profanation Deluxe is a superb fanmade remake of Dinamic's classic platformer for the Spectrum computer. You are Johnny Jones, avid adventurer who explores a forbidden Egyptian temple (perhaps inspired by a certain famous relative...) Your goal: reach the mortuary inside the temple and get rid of the powerful...
Abuse
Although, at a first glance, Abuse might seem like just another typical action shooter, this is not quite true. Sure, it looks like an ordinary action game and the story is not very innovative, but what makes this game special is the character control. I'm quite sure that this is...
Act of Fighter
Another solid arcade game from SoftStar, Taiwan's best game company, Act of Fighter is a smooth side-scrolling beat-em-up set in Chinese history. Set in a typical o-father-I-vow-to-avenge-your-death premise common in most "period" Chinese stories, Act of Fighter is a fun game that recalls Panda Software's Tough Guy, although with jerkier...
Acter World
Acter World is a fun freeware clone of Taito's classic Bubble Bobble. You control Princess Lina, who must kill all the enemies who have invaded the royal palace. You are equipped with a magical ring that can "seal" the enemy in a bubble at a single touch. Then you must...
Action Fighter
This is a conversion of SEGA's hit created originally for Sega consoles. Later on, Core Design converted this game onto all popular platforms of that time. The game is an up-scrolling shooter, fast and fun on short terms. Every conversion was successful. As you are probably guessing, PC conversion is...
Actraiser
Actraiser is a fun action/strategy hybrid from Quintet/Enix for the SNES. You play the role of a god who is trying to reclaim the earth from evil beings and make it habitable for your people. Similar to EVO but even more so, Actraiser adds strategic elements to the standard 2D...
Advanced NetWars
Advanced NetWars is a little-known sequel to NetWars, a great 3D space shooter that Novell bundled for free with their Personal NetWare program to show off IPX capabilities. Caldera upgraded the game with better graphics and more features, then released it as part of its OpenDOS application (long discontinued).From the...
Adventures of Captain Comic, The
Strap on your space suit and prepare yourself to be teleported right into the world that awaits. All is not what it seems, and your task of recovering stolen items is made more difficult by the many enemies, which is where Captain Comic comes in! That's right, it's Captain Comic,...
Adventures of Lomax
Little-known PC port of the better-known Playstation game, The Adventures of Lomax features the lemmings from Psygnosis' classic arcade puzzle series, but takes them back this time to the old school of classic platform gameplay. The plot is much more inventive this time than in, say, Lemmings Chronicles. Wherever trouble...
AeroStyle
AeroStyle is an excellent freeform aerial combat shooter that sports a very intuitive mouse-driven interface, crisp SVGA graphics, and fun gameplay. Your goal in the game is simply to pilot a biplane similar to Sopwith and kill everything in the sky that moves, ranging from balloons, to gliders and other...
Afterburner
Pretty straightforward jetfighter game. You fly your jet avoiding and shooting enemy planes and their missiles. Really nothing new, but made pretty well. The controls are pretty good (unfortunately only keyboard is available though), the graphics are good as well (for 1989).The mission is pretty simple - reach the end...
Afterburner 3D
Afterburner 3D is an excellent fanmade remake of SEGA's classic first-person shooter Afterburner. The game features excellent 3D graphics, great special effects, and even a nice soundtrack to round things off. Like Afterburner, your objective is simply to pilot a jet-on-rails and fire at anything and everything that crosses your...
Agent USA
The Fuzzbomb is on the loose! That's right baby, somewhere in the USA there's a Fuzzbomb and only one person can stop it. It's the ultimate good guy. It's a hero so pure and, it gets to wear a white hat! The game off course can be no other then the legendary...
Air
Air is an excellent side-scroller from premier Taiwan developer Softstar. Despite what the name implies, the game actually takes place underwater most of the time. In contrast to most other shooters that feature futuristic spacecraft and menacing-looking enemies, including most from Softstar themselves, Air takes a decidedly "kid-friendly" approach by...
Air Offensive: The Art of Flying
Air Offensive: The Art of Flying is a decent 3D shooting game from Inca Gold. The official word on game plot: "...as a fresh recruit, you will join the militia forces of the Archipelago in a desperate attempt to fend off rebel forces, trying to establish a regime of terror....
Airborne Ranger
Some things do not change over time. And if they do, it is often for the better. An example to prove this statement is Airborne Ranger. Released in 1988, the game is almost twenty years old, and it is still fun to play and offers a good challenge. The plot...
Airlift Rescue
Airlift Rescue is a remake of CHOPLIFTER which was very popular in the early 1980's on the ATARI and APPLE-II platforms. You are the pilot of a rescue helicopter. Your mission is to fly to a mideastern terrorist compound and rescue 64 hostages that are being held in four separate buildings...
Ajax
A solid conversion of a little-known Konami arcade game of the same name, Ajax is a challenging vertical scrolling shoot-em-up for one or two players. The objectives of the game, simple enough, are to destroy all enemy forces without being destroyed, and accumulate the highest score possible. The player takes...
Akuji the Demon
Akuji the Demon is an excellent freeware platformer from Japan that puts many commercial titles to shame. The storyline alone is already a twist on the familiar "hero kills foozle" plot: you play a demon (albeit a cute little one) who is seeking revenge on a hero who defeated you...
Aladdin
Published in 1994 by Disney Software, this game made its way to the top very quickly. This was mostly thanks to excellent graphics and sounds. It was one of the first games to feature digitized music, the beginning of the well known theme from Aladdin, "A Whole New World". Also,...
