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...
Mortville Manor 1988 Amiga
And so you find yourself in the mountains, the snow covered manor in front of you gleaming in the morning sun. As you approach, a wolf howls, sending a shiver down your spine, and the bell on the chapel tolls, almost as if in warning. Entering the great building, you are greeted with the news that Julia has died, and her family has gathered at the manor to son out her affairs. The detective in you tells you that all is not as it seems, and so you set about investigating what you are convinced is a case of murder. Mortville...
Rekkaturvat (a.k.a. Truck Dismount) 2003 Simulation
Without a doubt, Porrasturvat (Stair Dismount in English) was one of the most original freeware underdogs of 2002. But how do you code a sequel to a unique game whose purpose is to cause as much pain as possible to a hapless stickman falling down a flight of stairs? I bet nobody expected a sequel... so it was a pleasant surprise to see Rekkaturvat (Truck Dismount), a "sequel" from the same warped mind of Jetro Lauha. If you love Porrasturvat (and who doesn't?), you should stop reading this review right now and just download the game. But for the skeptics...
Top Gear 2 AGA 1994 Amiga
A very good looking AGA racing game, similar to the Lotus series and the Jaguar XJ 220. It has fast speed, with long visiblity, 3D rolling cars, many levels and good music. ...
X-Men: The Ravages of Apocalypse 1997 Arcade action
X-Men: The Ravages of Apocalypse is a conversion of Quake. The evil mutant Apocalypse has created an army of evil X-men clones. The only thing standing in his way is you, a cyborg created by Magneto with the ability to morph your arms into a variety of devastating weapons. In the single-player game, you battle clones of twelve X-Men across two episodes building up to a final confrontation with Apocalypse. The X-Men are realistically modeled complete with their mutant powers (the Wolverine clone, for example, will not stay down, imitating the original). In multiplayer game, you can take on the role...
Fantasy General 1996 Strategy
Fantasy General has a vast array of fantasy characters battling their way across exquisite battlefields to try and save their world from the forces of evil. Each unit under your command has the ability to move a designated number of hexagons on its way to reclaiming an enemy castle for the forces of good. The class of the warriors in the unit and the terrain involved affects each unit's movement. For example, a unit of cavalry will move much faster than a unit of heavy infantry, just as a unit can travel more quickly across grassy plains than across a...
Gorasul: The Legacy of the Dragon 2001 Role playing
Quite a few of the games released in North America each year are actually imports from other countries. Usually the translation is smooth, and you'd never know that the game's dialogue was originally in French or Dutch or some other language. In fact, you probably wouldn't notice the game was an import at all unless you looked up the developer and checked where they're headquartered. But then sometimes it's thoroughly obvious the game didn't originate anywhere near the United States. One of those obvious games is Gorasul: The Legacy of the Dragon from German developer Silver Style Entertainment. Gorasul is a...
Europa Universalis: Crown of the North 2003 Strategy
The real-time gameplay of Europa Universalis was quite an achievement in strategy gaming. With everything happening at once, you had to make quick decisions while trying to expect the unexpected. The biggest downside was that from the very beginning you could get overwhelmed in a very complex game. The Age of Enlightenment setting also meant that you had a semi-industrialized society to run, an expanding global empire to manage, and most importantly, a new game system to master. The follow-up, EU2, took things back in time to the Middle Ages and allowed for a more relaxed gaming experience. The latest addition...
Armed and Dangerous 2003 Arcade action
Armed & Dangerous is the second offering from Planet Moon Studios, a small California-based developer with a staff composed almost entirely of expatriate Britons. Many are refugees from Shiny or Virgin Interactive (or both), and their studio has developed a reputation for being fueled by two distinct qualities: a great love of new technology and the sort of deranged humor than only the British can produce. Planet Moon burst onto the scene in 2000 with the impossible-to-categorize Giants: Citizen Kabuto, one of the very first titles to take full advantage of the then brand-new technology of hardware transform and lighting sported...
Rock & Bach Studio 1993 Educational
The last release from underrated edutainment developer Electronic Zoo is a great all-in-one music game and application with virtually unlimited playability. Rock & Bach Studio has two major components: music education, and music making. As part of the music education component, kids can read up on an excellent synopsis of the music pieces that comprise an orchestra. For each instrument, the game shows where it is in the orchestra, what it looks and sounds like, what its sound wave looks like, and a short history and explanation. The basics of musical notations are also included, so kids will learn for...
