Adventures of Alice who Went Through the Looking-Glass and Came Back Though Not Much Changed, The 1986 Adventure
As in the Lewis Carroll work, Victorian girlchild Alice Liddell avoids doing her tedious homework ("Could there possibly be" you think "a better day to go out and play and avoid studying Mathematics?") by escaping into a whimsical wonderland filled with bizarre characters. Many of the major characters (Cheshire Cat, Jabberwock) and locations (tea party, croquet game) in the stories make appearances in the game, though the plot is considerably streamlined, with occasional injections of anachronistic narration (>READ VORPAL SWORD -- It says "American Express Blade. Don't leave the garden without it.") ...
F117A Stealth Fighter 1993 Amiga
Flight sims, eh? Most of them are about as exciting as watching the M25 video, or a driver's eye view of the rail journey from Aberdeen to Penzance. They come with manuals the size of bungalows and instructions which you need a degree in Physics to understand. Sheehsh! You have to admit, though, that some are rather better than others and MicroProse have earned themselves a fat fortune making games that are just that. F-117A is the long awaited sequel to the fantabulous F-19 Stealth Fighter, one of the best flight sims ever, and shares Gunship 2000's extremely playable game engine. For...
Romance of The Three Kingdoms 1 1989 Strategy
Without a doubt, KOEI's flagship Romance of The Three Kingdoms games are some of the best and most original historical strategy games ever made. Based on the classic Chinese epic of the same name, choose to play as one of the warlords vying to unite the far-flung Chinese empire in the 10th century. The first entrant in the RtK series strikes a near-perfect balance between historical flavor and fun, as they feature hundreds of real historical personalities, each with unique traits, and great diplomatic and espionage options.

Word Heads 1997 Puzzle
Unfortunately for people who enjoyed Math Heads and Strategy Heads, there are fewer games in Word Heads and some of them aren't quite as fun as in the previous games. Also unfortunately, the layout of the game is beginning to seem a bit hackneyed now. Just like with many series games, after a while it begins to feel like beating a dead horse. It was great the first time, good the second, but by the third, it gets tired and old. The game starts out, as usual, by having players enter their name and selecting a head, body and hat. The selection...
Shadows of Mordor 1988 Adventure
Shadows of Mordor is the second part of the famous trilogy where you, among other things, have to guide Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee through the lands of Middle Earth without losing the magic ring. Almost from the beginning you will notice the improved game story, pictures and actual game engine compared to the first part of this series. Whether the developers knew they had to do better with the second part or not isn't known but you would think so after comparing the two games. The game takes almost exactly where the first game ended where you choose to control...
Motorhead 1999 Sports
One of the last games published by Gremlin before they were bought out, Motorhead is an excellent racing game developed by Digital Illusions that deserves a much longer shelf life than it received. Trixter's description and review at MobyGames says it all about this game: "Motorhead is a racing game set in the near future. Despite its semi-futuristic setting, the cars require realistic handling. There are 10 different cars and 8 different tracks. You don't get them all at once however, you have to earn them by winning championships in the Transatlantic Speed League. The Good: Motorheadis the nearly-perfect embodiment of beauty, speed,...
Star Trek: Starfleet Command 2 - Empires at War 2000 Simulation
In the ever growing world of computer titles encompassing the Star Trek universe, Star Trek: Starfleet Command Volume II: Empires at War makes a nice counterpart to the ground based, multi-planet Star Trek: New Worlds, released just a few months previously. You can choose any one of eight races and direct up to three ships simultaneously. Although the game has some detracting features, piloting your own starship and building up your fleet does offer substantial gameplay. At the beginning of each mission, you start with a standard vessel with basic features. Gaining prestige points allows you to purchase enhanced missiles and...
