Barbarian (Mastertronic) 1989 Arcade action
One of the worst platform games ever made and definitely a low point in Mastertronic's varied career. Barbarian (not to be confused with the excellent game of the same name from Palace Software) casts you as a barbarian (duh) who must destroy everything in sight and avoid various traps. How bad is the game? I'll let Trixter's gripe speak for me: "Gameplay is done with "icons", which can be selected with the joystick, mouse, or function keys. For example: To move your character to the right, you press/select the right arrow icon. To swing your sword, you select the sword icon....
3D Pool 1989 Amiga
3D Pool is a 3D pool simulation, another budget re-release from Mirrorsoft. It's played in a ghostly void, with the pool table drawn in solid vector graphics. The full complement of sixteen balls are light-source shaded, and move around the table in realtime. There's no visible cue or crosshair to help you line up the shot. Instead, you view the table from the tip of your imaginary cue, so when you hit the ball, it always travels directly "into" the screen. It's a strange idea, but it works. Even so, it could still do with a crosshair fixed to a...
Legend of Valour 1992 Role playing
If you're put off by negativity, consider yourself warned. What you are about to see (or read) is not a pretty sight. It would be nice to say that Legends of Valour is the type of game from which legends are born; unfortunately that is not the case. Although slick looking on the outside, the inner workings of the game are basically rusty and corroded. It does have some good aspects, such as the well designed character generator, extremely innovative and comprehensive manual (too bad it's not part of the game itself), a nicely written background story and several noteworthy...
Cruel World 1993 Arcade action
Cruel World is a below-average Prince of Persia clone from Makh-Shevet, a little-known Israeli developer who later made Master of Dimensions and Armed and Dangerous adventure games. As a harmless citizen who is one day thrown into the dungeon for no reason, your goal is to escape with your life intact in true Prince of Persia fashion. The game is extremely similar to Jordan Mechner's classic - from the 2D/isometric layout, to red potion flasks that represent your health and your enemy's health. You will fight skeleton soldiers, make impossible leaps across chasms, negotiate tricky traps, and generally pull off...
Operation Overlord 1994 Simulation
Operation Overlord is the third game from Rowan Software, a small British developer that remains today one of the best "hard-core" flight sim companies. In this excellent World War II sim, it is your job as an Allies pilot to succeed in destroying the German forces occupying Northern France in Operation codenamed "Overlord", the air campaign leading up to D-Day. True to Rowan's reputation of simulating not-so-well-known aircraft, Overlord gives you the opportunity to fly the Typhoon 18, The Mustang III, and the Spitfire IX. Aside from excellent and varied mission selection and realistic flight dynamics, Overlord enters gaming history as...
Diver Down 2003 Role playing
Diver Down is a great fanmade freeware RPG - the first finished game using Verge, a new and promising RPG creation program. What I like most about the game is the much-better-than-average writing and setting, which is a far cry from the formulaic "kill the big foozle" premise. Fellow Verge coder Ratgash explains what is so much fun about this game very well in the long review on his homepage: "The story begins when the main character, Drek, wakes up in what seems like an underground battlefield. He doesn't remember how he got there, who he is or what he...
Rayman 2: The Great Escape 1999 Arcade action
One of the most charming UbiSoft's characters, small, human-like blonde without a torso, has once again brought very colorful and interesting platform action to my PC... and yep, that is something I've really missed in the past few years. This time around Mr. Ray is done from 3D polys and he is able to perform all his actions such as running, jumping, swimming, climbing in very nice 3D environments. Oh, you are disappointed cause it is a 3D game now, aren't you? Well, there's no reason to be disappointed! In short, Rayman is just another in the line of characters who's...
Devil Inside, The 2000 Action adventure
With polygon based characters and movement reminiscent of his earlier Alone in the Dark series, designer Hubert Chardot (along with the design team at GameSquad) presents the survival horror game The Devil Inside. This adventure takes place as part of a live Halloween 2001 television show on WWWL@, home of the bizarre, horrific and paranormal for the masses. You play as both Dave Cooper and his "inner self" demon -- an entity that manifests itself as a powerful and deadly female devil. The transformation between Cooper and Deva, as she's known, occurs when either one passes through pentacles that are scattered...
Black & White 2001 Simulation
The real time strategy genre has taken a turn for the surreal in recent memory. With innovative games such as Sacrifice coming on the et, the genre has evolved away from the characteristics set forth by games such as Command & Conquer and Warcraft to a much more open ended affair, where anything is possible. The result of eons of work by British developer Lionhead, we are (finally) presented with Black & White, a god game where you rule over several lands in hope of converting the locals to worshipping you. Certainly an ambitious title, there are many aspects of...
Uncommon Valor: Campaign for the South Pacific 2002 Strategy
Focusing on naval and airborne battles between May 1942 and December 1943, Uncommon Valor: Campaign for the South Pacific offers 2D turn-based action in 19 historical and "what-if" scenarios including campaigns for New Guinea, New Britain, New Ireland, and the Solomon Islands. Veteran war game designer Gary Grigsby's team of developers provide players with a wide selection of in-depth customization options and details, ranging from critical hit locations on individual ships and experience ratings for crews in day and night combat to incidental damage from weather. More than 200 ship classes and nearly every type of aircraft that saw action in...
