Gato 1984 Simulation
BACKGROUND In Gato, you play the commander of a United States submarine in the Pacific Ocean during World War II against Japanese warships. GAMEPLAY Gato is a 3D real-time submarine simulation game. Gameplay consists of missions where the primary directive is to navigate your submarine to track and intercept (multiple) enemy warships (patrol boats, destroyers, etc.) on the randomly created map and close in for the kill with torpedoes. Combat itself consists of a direct visual of enemy ships (via periscope) and firing torpedoes at the correct angle to ultimately sink the ship. Be warned that although you have the element of surprise, enemy...
Highway Patrol II 1990 Arcade action
Highway Patrol II is a little-known racing game from Microids that boasts some innovative concepts that are sadly lost in lackluster implementation. As the title suggests, you play a highway patrol officer in a nondescript town somewhere in the US' desert lands. Your job: shoot gangsters that are robbing gas stations in your area. One interesting innovation is the radar screen that displays your relative position to the gangsters, as well as the police siren you can use as a scare tactic. The number of gas stations robbed is displayed at the top of the screen, and this has a...
Wire Robo 2002 Arcade action
Wire Robo is a fun and unique shooter that plays like a cross between a regular vertical SHMUP and Wire Hang Redux, reviewed elsewhere on this site. Instead of piloting a ship, in this game you control an anime-style robot that is equipped with a grappling hook. To destroy enemies (mostly ships and asteroids), you have to first swing to them, then attach your robot to them by shooting the grappling hook. While attached in this way, you can swing left and right to shoot in the direction you are swinging. Although this strange gameplay takes some time to get...
Robocop 1989 Amiga
You know the movie Robocop, so you know the story and the hero of this game. You control the Robocop and has to devastate every bad looking guy. The first episode of the game has very poor graphics, seems line a C64 conversion. ...
Shadow Ops: Red Mercury 2004 Arcade action
Shadow Ops: Red Mercury was released on the Xbox earlier this year, and the PC port keeps things largely the same with the notable exception of a whole multiplayer component. The single-player game breaks out of the World War II/Vietnam rut and hops into a theater of war much more in line with current events: the war against nasty terrorists with weapons of mass destruction the size of a briefcase. You play Frank Hayden, a one-man army in search of a stolen super nuke called Red Mercury. Your quest takes you all across the globe, from the Middle East to the...
Tornado & Operation Desert Storm 1994 Simulation

Astro Fire 1994 Arcade action
Astro Fire is basically a run-of-the-mill Asteroids clone, but with a few twists: instead of asteroids you've got monsters of sorts to shoot at, there are power ups (two kinds of weapons) and shields (which means a single blow doesn't kill you), and you can also set whether or not you want momentum enabled, which gives an interesting edge to the game. The full version of Astro Fire includes three different episodes with too many levels to mention. ...
Chromium B.S.U. 2001 Arcade action
You are captain of the cargo ship Chromium B.S.U., responsible for delivering supplies to our troops on the front line. Your ship has a small fleet of robotic fighters which you control from the relative safety of the Chromium vessel. Do not let ANY enemy ships get past your fighters! Each enemy ship that makes it past the bottom of the screen will attack the Chromium, and you lose a fighter. Use your fighters as weapons! Crash into enemies to destroy them before they can get past you. A double-right-click will cause your current fighter to self-destruct. Before the ship blows...
Eagle's Rider 1991 Arcade action
Eagle's Rider is a fun sci-fi shooter from Microids that sets itself apart from other shooters with innovative semi-360-degree movement. I call it "semi" because your ship can still move only in 4 cardinal directions. The game, however, uses innovative "chase view" camera angle and skewed perspective of objects to make you feel as if you have more freedom. Aside from this unconventional look, Eagle's Rider plays like other shooters-- avoid asteroids and shoot everything in sight to win. It doesn't have the same addictive quality as Silpheed, but is worth a look if you are new to action games...
Targhan 1989 Arcade action
A straightforward platform game with a simple kill-the-evil-foozle plot, Targhan recalls Psygnosis' earlier Barbarianbut with better graphics and more difficult monsters. Overall, it's a standard side-scrolling affair that has some nice graphical effects and VERY difficult gameplay that would come to characterize every subsequent Silmarils game. Although the game boasts of "more than 120 landscapes and 40 different characters," repetitive levels and cardboard-cutout characters make it feel a lot smaller. Plus, the fact that you can only save the game at specific "save points" is a curious console-game quirk that only adds to the frustration level. Although the animations of...
