Colin McRae Rally 3 2003 Simulation
I often find myself wondering quite why driving games are the toast of pretty much all gaming platforms; when the differences between titles can at times seem decidedly small - if not non-existent. It's a problem of audience expectations, I suspect, as driving games - since the dawn of time, have been accepted as the staple gaming diet of the masses, who, lets face it, aren't always the most discerning of punters. Thus, games companies tend to take advantage of this audience, by slapping heavily branded but often insubstantial offerings in front of them at every opportunity safe in the...
Microsoft Golf 2.0 1995 Sports
Microsoft Golf 2.0 is the second and last of the Win 3.1 Microsoft Golf games. As its predecessor, it is simply Links 386 Pro, but with added graphical detail that comes much closer to its original DOS version. The main layout of the screen is changed but otherwise the game remains the same. Select Quick Start to use the default settings or settings from a previous game. There is a Practice Mode and an in-game Help System that teaches you about the game of golf in general as well as how this game is played. Microsoft Golf 2.0 comes with two courses:...
Inca (Hayden) 1985 Adventure
Given that it is one of the rarest commercial text adventures in existence, it is disappointing that Hayden Software's Inca is unfortunately not a very good game. A banal treasure hunt that could have been Infidel with - well, Michael Berlyn and Infocom's powerful parser. It is even worse than Hayden's own Holy Grail, which makes it a really bad game you should avoid. So why is the game here? Well, only because yours truly happens to be a die-hard fan of interactive fiction who spent over 15 years to find the game :) Anyway, I'm sure IF collectors will...
Juiced 2005 Simulation
When I first booted up Juiced I was intrigued; I didn't care much for the ability to pick my in-game phone, but the many other customization options, the respect you need to gain from other racers, and the choosing of your crew's name and logo got my attention. Add in the gambling aspect of the game, and I saw several ways in which Juiced might be able to compete with the many highly acclaimed racing games already out there. As with a lot racing games, you start the career mode with little of anything. You have a decent bankroll to...
Sid & Al's Incredible Toons 1993 Puzzle
Sid & Al's Incredible Toons is a spin-off of The Incredible Machine series. It features cartoon characters and items instead of pseudo-realistic contraptions, but the goal is the same: to build hilarious machines reminiscent of the pictures of Rube Goldberg. Sid Mouse and Al E. Cat have probably never heard of Tom & Jerry, but they're just as single-minded: any means to hurt the adversary is a good one. They get plenty of means in Incredible Toons. Around 100 puzzles need to be solved, each one a 2D machine of which crucial parts are missing. The player's task is to choose...
Sir Fred 2005 Adventure
Sir Fred is an excellent SVGA remake of one of the best Spanish games ever made for the 8-bit MSX platform. This version for Windows-based PC features great graphics and the same addictive gameplay as the original arcade-adventure. From the website: "In classic arcade-adventure style, Sir Fred has to collect object and solve problems as he penetrates the defences of Castle Feare, the Baron's stronghold. The objects are found in different locations each time you play, which complicates mapping somewhat, but must be used to complete the various tasks which you'll need to do. They can be picked up using...
Men of Valor 2004 Arcade action
With games like Vietcong and Battlefield: Vietnam tearing down the proverbial walls of Jericho, the largely untouched Vietnam War has become a viable digital staging ground and many developers are rushing to cash in on the latest craze. If gaming is any indication, Vietnam is the new World War II. No strangers to war, Vivendi and developer 2015 (Medal of Honor: Allied Assault) are among the growing few to thrust FPS enthusiasts into the jungles, rice fields and villages of Southeast Asia. Their entry, Men of Valor, has undergone the scrutiny of our crack squad of solider monkeys, and what we...
Exodus from the Earth 2007 Simulation
This first-person shooter combines elements of science fiction with conspiracy theorist paranoia and soap opera intrigue. Exodus From the Earth tells the story of Earth in the year 2016, when the sun suddenly and surprisingly begins growing into a Red Giant and rapidly transforms the surface of the planet into a hellish wasteland. Humanity's only chance for survival is adapting to live in outer space, or finding a new planet to colonize. At odds are the A.X. Corporation, a pan-global company that discovered a mineral which will allow humans to survive in any extraterrestrial environment, and The Intelligence Agency, a...
Anchorhead 1998 Adventure
In a "grim little cul-de-sac" outside a real estate office, a young woman knocks on the agent's door for the second time. An umbrella barely keeps the rain off her. The odor of garbage mixed with sewage and seawater assail her sense of smell. Aside from the full professorship offered to her husband by the local university, the move to Anchorhead seems to have little going for it. Anchorhead is a horror-themed interactive fiction game set in a Lovecraftian dilapidated fishing village. After a gruesome death ends the Verlac family line, a young couple, from a distant branch of the family,...
Sixx 1993 Puzzle
SiXX is a puzzle game along the lines of Epic's Brix, Mahjong, and more recently Pop Cap's Noah's Ark. Game play is as complex as clicking on two tiles that each have the same symbol - a horse shoe, diamond, beveled square, ice cream cone, etc. - and removing them from the board. Tiles must have an unobstructed path between each other: directly in line or at a ninety (90) degree angle. The music is fine, the graphics adequate, and the game play is fair enough. However, the match two had been done to death, followed more recently by the...
