Shenanigans 1984 Adventure
In mid-1980s, a small company called Mark Data Products released 6 parser-based graphic adventure games similar to early Polarware and Scott Adams titles. While the games are reasonably successful on Tandy's CoCo computer, the IBM PC versions did not achieve the same level of success. While the graphics are quite good at the time, the parser is quite primitive - only simple verb+noun constructs such as GET HAT are understood, and some verbs that are common in IF games such as SEARCH are not always recognized. Fortunately, the games make up for primitive parser with well-written plot, fun characters, and...
Stunt Island 1992 Simulation
One of the most unique and underrated simulations ever, Disney's classic game lets you perform wild aerial stunts in planes that range from a biplane to a duck (yes, a duck). You can enter into stunt competition or film your own exploits. The movie-making portion is extremely well-designed-- you have complete control over camera placement, props, etc. Highly recommended. ...
Major League Manager 1986 Sports
One of the earliest baseball games ever made for PC, Spinnaker's Major League Manager manages to convey both the excitement of the sport and the coaching challenge with nothing but text and ASCII characters. Similar to EA's Radio Baseball, MLM lets you coach your favorite team and decide strategies on the diamond with reasonably realistic statistics and gameplay options. One feature that's worth noting is that in addition to current teams in the National and American leagues (this version is 4.0, with official statistics for the 1990 season), you can also play "Old-Timers League," managing historical greats such as the...
NCAA Championship Basketball 1996 Sports
It's unfortunate, because this game could have actually been playable...but it's not. It really doesn't look all THAT bad, although the graphics are nothing to write home about. The menu screens are intuitive, and they look pretty nice. The game graphics could be a lot better, though. The graphics are really, really grainy, and could use a lot more polish. The animations are pretty jerky, too-- players start and stop animations inexplicably. Fouls are an atrocious sight. The coach wanders aimlessly, and sometimes distractingly on the court. Why? Good question. But graphics really don't make the game. The sound is okay,...
Nations, The: Gold (a.k.a. Alien Nations 2) 2001 Strategy
The Nations is one of those games that you can play for months without them loosing their initial charm. This has been achieved using great cartoon-like design, but the game still has too many flaws, the biggest of them being that it is incapable of providing lasting and exciting gameplay. The background story is as coherent as in any of these games: In a parallel dimension, three spaceships carried the seed of life of one nation each. Their mission was to take each nation to a separate planet and make it their new home, but they all happened to land on...

Garrison 1987 Amiga
Garrison has been touted around the public domain for goodness knows how long! With the tantalising taste of just one single screen, the Garrison demo disk was hot property; a must for any self-respecting Public Domain hack if ever I saw one! With US Gold releasing Gauntlet for the Atari ST. everyone expected an Amiga version to follow suit, right? Wrong, Gauntlet was never released for the Amiga, and, as far as I can make out, it will never be released for the Amiga, which is interesting when you consider the fact that US Gold are looking after this game, released by...
