Planetfall [Solid Gold] 1988 Adventure
Planetfall is one of Infocom's most successful game that was updated and re-released as "Solid Gold" edition in 1988. The entire Solid Gold line was sadly not very well known, perhaps because most people assumed it was simply a re-release of the original game. This is not the case: the Solid Gold edition games include Infocom's "InvisiClues" hints as an in-game feature, the game engine ("Z machine") was updated to version 5 (which features a more versatile parser), and most bugs squashed. The Solid Gold therefore became the best edition of Infocom classics to own and play. As to this Solid...

Transport Tycoon Deluxe 1995 Strategy
Chris Sawyer belongs in the pantheon of British games developers. Most of you people will remember him as the brainchild of the uber-successful Rollercoaster Tycoon, a game which belongs in my hallf of fame... even if I never bothered to complete it. Transport Tycoon however remains a classic in the management genre before developers like Monte Christo decided to flood the market with derivative rubbish. Essentially, Transport Tycoon gives you either a random map to improve or a few ready-made scenarios increasing with difficulty, using past present and future transport technologies. Although the AI is nearly all the time laughable, there...
Alien Shooter: Vengeance 2006 Role playing
Developed by Sigma Team, Alien Shooter: Vengeance is a third-person shooter that drops you into an expansive sci-fi world of classic hack 'n slash gameplay. The story itself is pretty bare-bones. It's the postapocalyptic future and you're working as a mercenary for the MAGMA Energy Corporation. Awful and dangerous experiments were held there and now they are beyond control. The end result is that suddenly there are hundreds of aliens running around in all their facilities, killing everyone in sight. Now lots of ugly aliens need to be blown away! In the game you begin play by selecting a mercenary from...
Nomad 1993 Simulation
I almost forgot about this one! But then I saw someone requesting it on IRC. Well well, I uploaded it for him and he told me how GREAT the game would be. So I checked this game out once again - and yeah! - he's right. A little bit like Starflight, maybe more like Star Control (2) and a bit of Frontier. An alien spacecraft crashes on the Earth and you set out as captain of the repaired ship. Just after leaving Earth you're greeted by a nice furry alien, you find out about the Alliance and the evil Korok...
B-17 Flying Fortress 1992 Simulation
1943. The war in Europe rages on. The United States gives men the opportunity to leave the war and go home if they fly twenty-five missions with the US 8th Air Force. Sounds easy, doesn't it? Join a bomber crew, serve for three months at most and then go home? It can't be that bad... But you still have to worry about German anti-aircraft artillery, and of course their mighty Luftwaffe. Twenty-five missions doesn't sound that easy now, does it? Microprose's B-17 Flying Fortress gives you the chance to command your own personalized B-17 bomber through twenty-five missions. Although you...
3-Demon 1983 Arcade action
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. ...
Dream Pinball 3D 2006 Simulation
With the heyday of pinball simulations on the PC ping, ping, pinging in my noggin like it was the mid-90s all over again, I really wanted to love Dream Pinball 3D. Forget that its title still hypes the fact that it's "3D" well over a decade after 3D cards became standard operating equipment. Forget that Future Pinball, a beautiful, well-made pinball sim and table designer, can be downloaded for free. If Southpeak is charging for this collection of six all-new tables, then it must be pretty special, right? Not really. To be fair, drab assortment of generically themed tables in Dream...
