Eat My Dust 1997 Sports
One of the most little-known games published by Sierra, Eat My Dust by Funnybone Interactive is a decent racing game for kids that in many ways merits its obscurity. Games Domain says it all in the review back in 1997: "Eat My Dust is very much in the vein of Mario Kart, with the basic aim of the game being to reach various checkpoints in the allocated time, whilst finishing the race in the highest position and fastest time possible. Although this seems pretty straight forward, each of the tracks contain various roadside obsticles, and you have a number of...
Paperboy 2 1991 Arcade action
Now this is what Paperboy 1 should have been! Aside from better graphics and sound, the game has much larger play area and now you DO have time to avoid the car when it comes at you. The goal is the same as before. You have to deliver the newspaper to the subsribers. Now you can even play as papergirl and see the action from a different view (well, not really; it's all the same). ...
Darklands 1992 Role playing
When Darklands was released in 1992, it was a cut above the usual fare found in the fantasy role-playing genre. It was ambitious in scope and teeming with detailed role-playing goodies and yet broke the mold somewhat from earlier efforts by (gasp!) not including any lengthy dungeon crawls and focusing on religion and alchemy instead of spell casting. One of the most endearing features of the game is it's unabashed and heavily developed sense of history, borrowing liberally from fact and legend surrounding 15th century Germany, giving Darklands a solid basis of realism not usually apparent. In fact, along that...
Attack 1982 Arcade action
One of the most interesting games ever made, IBM's archaic 1982 game Attack would go down in history as just another mundane, primitive Paratrooper clone, if not for the fact that it could very well be the first game about corporate warfare. As the in-game instructions make clear: "your mission is to destroy the Apple Computer manufacturing plant. You are alloted 35 bombs and 60 lasers. There are Apple-owned fighters trying to stop you, you must destroy them with your lasers. If you get hit by them then you are destroyed. If you go out of the atmosphere (the blue...
Star Trek TNG: The Transinium Challenge 1989 Adventure
In this first game based on television's Star Trek: The Next Generation, William Riker must investigate terrorist activities within the Aquila Star System, and in the process, solve a mystery behind a lost civilization. Developed by the team behind Star Trek: The Promethean Prophecy, the Transinium Challenge features a similar structure, albeit with digitized still scenes and a point-and-click interface in lieu of text and typing. Perform actions by clicking on various buttons such as "look," "analyze," "consult," "transport," "move," "navigate," "consider," and "contact." Clicking on the "consult" button, for example, lets you seek the advice of your fellow officers, while...
S.W.I.N.E. (a.k.a. Strategic Warfare In a Nifty Environment) 2001 Strategy
On the third of August, the Pig National Army crosses the border of Carrotland, following the orders of the notorious Steelfang, attacking and destroying most of the country within two weeks. The Rabbit capital is under siege and the future looks bleak for the beleaguered peace-loving Rabbits. Their only hope is to launch a counterattack under the command of a plucky, resourceful leader: the player. Although the plot and the characters guarantee some serious fun, the game is built on a sophisticated RTS engine demonstrating advanced graphics, physics and AI that require intelligent analysis of the psychology of the leaders,...
Carnivores: Ice Age 2001 Arcade action
Carnivores: Ice Age is the final and definitely best in Action Forms' underrated Carnivores series of first-person shooter games. Bradford Roberts of The Games Domain explains in his very thorough review: "Fans of the previous Carnivores games will be immediately at home in what looks to be the last of the series (developer Action Forms Ltd is moving on to Duke Nukem: Endangered Species). And an appropriate end to the series it is, bringing armchair hunters face-to-snout with the ancestors of the tigers, bears, birds, wolves and elephants long available in hunting titles set on present- day Earth. For those...

Jeopardy! 3rd Edition 1989 Puzzle
One of the longest-running game shows in existence today, Jeopardy! has attracted millions of faithful fans worldwide. The show's charismatic host Alex Trebek becomes one of the -- if not THE -- most recognizable TV show hosts of all time. It is therefore not surprising that there has been numerous computer versions of this popular game. For anyone who's never seen the TV show before, here's a super-brief version of rules. Jeopardy! is basically a trivia quiz, in which three contestants compete to win the most money, earned by giving the correct answers. The twist is that the contestant's answer must...
Galaga: Destination Earth 2000 Arcade action
The game consists of nine stages, each with multiple waves of alien attackers. Stage 1: The mission: Destroy everything in sight. I can do that. Wave 1: the game starts out looking much like the original Galaga, if with jazzed up backgrounds. You're the ship at the bottom shooting up at formations of aliens at the top. The aliens, most of which look like insects of some sort, are drawn kind of 3D with some shading, but they don't flap their wings or anything and are generally not animated, and there are only a couple of different alien types. You...
