Virtual In
Virtual In is a fun little one-on-one fighting game that will surprise you with superb playability despite its small size. The title is a parody of popular fighting game Virtual On, and the game itself uses the robotic characters from that game - shrunk from their gigantic proportions down to...
Virtual In 2
Virtual In 2 is a great sequel to Virtual In, a fun one-on-one robot fighting game from Japan. If you hate the first game or "cute" stumpy-head Japanese games, there is no reason to try this one. But if you like the first game, you will like this sequel much...
Virtual On Cybertroopers (Virtual On Operation Moongate)
Virtual On Cybertroopers (which I will now refer to as VOOM, as it's sometimes called Virtual On: Operation Moongate) was developed by SEGA's Am3 team (now known as Hitmaker ...an appropriate name, if you ask me), and first released in arcades during 1996, using SEGA's Model 2 hardware (the hardware...
Virtuoso
3D shooters of the old kind were known for having somewhat constructed game stories. But this one beats them all. Obviously Motivetime thought: "Let's make a 3D shooter with a rock'n roll hero and cool rock'n roll music!" But then they face a tough question: in what context should such...
Virus
This game is the perfect answer to the question: what happens when you lock the designer of Eliteseries and future designer of Transport Tycoon in the same room? Virus is a furious and addictive action game that, like its designers, exudes creative gameplay unlike any other game you have seen....
Virus: The Game
Virus: The Game is a classic example of great idea gone to waste by horrendous execution. Games Domain's uncompromising review of this unique old game says it all:"Virus is a strategy game, well hidden in a Descent- style engine. It makes its levels out of the file structure of your...
Viz
Viz is a funny, politically incorrect action game based on a popular British magazine of the same name. For the uninitiated, Viz is produced in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. According to the official website, Viz was "...born in 1979, it continues to avoid topical political satire, instead concentrating on cheap...
Vlak
Here's a cute clone of the famous snake. Instead of a snake you control a train. After picking up objects (diamonds, crowns, trees, animals, cars, fruits...) more wagons appear. After picking up all objects on the level, the small yellow door will open and the train can pass to the...

There are old games that are just that - old games, and then there are damn-good-ol'-classic games that remain from your childhood memory. Volfied is definitely the latter one.You play as a pilot of a ship that has returned to your homeworld - "Volfied". Soon you discover that it's been...
Vsys Gaiden (a.k.a. Techno Sylph)

Wandering Fighter
Wandering Fighter is a cool Japanese-style platformer from Miguel "MIG2" Perez, maker of Castlevania-inspired gems including Lost Valley. Although Wandering Fighter is neither as long nor as challenging as Lost Valley, it is still a very fun game that will remind you of the good old days of SNES and...
War Encounter
War Encounter and Starship Tactical Combat Simulator are two excellent fanmade space combat games set in the Star Trek universe. STCS is more of a tactical simulation while War Encounter an action game similar to the melee combat mode in Star Control 2.As commander of the starship Enterprise in War...
War Gods
War Gods is a shoddy 3D fighting game that is similar to Mortal Kombat -- but unfortunately only in the gore department. With a lot of violence, blood, and gross "fatalities" attacks, War Gods and Mortal Kombathave very similar feel. Yet somehow Midway managed to botch up the gameplay so...
Wargasm
Wargasm is a fun but a bit too short 3D action game in the same vein as Incoming, except with authentic military trappings that fans of DID's hard-core flight sims can expect. Peter Smith of CD Magazine says it all about this fun, unassuming shooter in his review:"Wargasm. It's just...
Warhead
Well, this is the simple, shareware (but full) version of Warhead, made by Brian C. Lowe and Eric Lee Steadle.The game is a bit like paratrooper, except this one has more color and seems more fun to play. You're a little canon (again) and your small "town" is under attack...
Warhead (from Activision)
One of the most underrated Elite-inspired space combat games ever made, Warhead is a cult classic Atari ST game published by Activision in 1989. The plot: Earth is being attacked by Sirius-5, and your job - naturally - is to defend it against enemy forces. The game has over 40...

We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story
We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story is among a handful of games based on movie licenses that break the trend: the game is actually better than the movie. While it doesn't rival the best of Disney's platform games based on its hit movies (e.g. Aladdin and The Lion King), it does...
Weird Dreams
The title says it all, does it not? You awake in your pajamas inside a cotton candy machine - when was the last time that happened to you? To escape, you must grab the stick, after which you appear at a fair. But be careful: Somewhere out there, there's a...
West Adventure
Unfortunately I can't say I'm really familiar with Chinese folk tales and legends, that's why I was so surprised, when I immediately recognized the characters of this game. I've seen them in a Chinese animated film when I was still a child. And I can say I came across this...
Westphaser
Westphaser is a very nice Operation Wolf-style shoot'em up by Loriciel set in a Wild West scenario. Gameplay is simple: shoot targets as they appear on screen. Shooting innocents will penalize you, while shooting baddies earn score. Despite very drab CGA palette, the game manages to be quite fun to...
Whizz
This game is about a race between Whizz, a bunny with a hot air balloon, and a rat with a zeppelin.Even though the game doesn't really show the rat often, the first intro cut scene shows that the rat is cheating by shooting Whizz down with his shotgun. Now Whizz...
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
An average game based on the equally average Disney movie, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is a 3-part action game that follows the movie's plot: cartoon rabbit Roger is framed for murdering Marvin, the gag king, and is now on the lam. Overall, the game is a fun diversion, but for...
Wild Streets
Wild Streets is an average side-scrolling arcade game-- no more, no less. Characters are cardboard cutouts, graphics is below average, and fight animations are unconvincing. The hero (a cop in this case) only has 2 fighting moves-- punching and kicking, and repetitive scenery makes the game boring very fast. The...
Willi's Pinball
One of the earliest promotional games by ComAd, developed for Germany's software superstore bhv in 1992. Willi's Pinball is an okay pinball game with the same trappings as most other pinball games, except that you can forget any realism in this one because the ball behaves with hardly any nod...

This is one of the best compilations ever released. You get 6 of the best arcade games of yore: Defender, Defender 2, Joust, Sinistar, Bubbles, Robotron, plus a very nice front end to the games. The look, sound, and feel of the arcade are captured to perfection, and you can...
Willow
Willow is an oldie action game based on LucasFilm's fantasy movie of the same name starring Val Kilmer. Not a classic, but an interesting movie conversion with some nice ideas. The game faithfully follows the movie's script, casting you as Willow, a gnome who is assigned to protect a baby...
