Shark! Hunting the Great White 2001 Sports
Shark! Hunting the Great White is a surprising fun underwater "shark hunting simulation" from Sunstorm Interactive, the company that brought the world numerous renditions of the extremely popular Deer Hunter series. The game has been largely ignored by gamers and remains relatively unknown, perhaps owing to the lack of marketing, as well as the fact that it is more complicated than the Deer Hunter franchise, yet most serious gamers may have assumed it is just "another simplistic hunting game." The truth, fortunately for us, is that Shark! is a realistic simulation that is also captivating and a lot of fun....
Alex Higgins World Snooker 1986 Sports
Alex Higgins' World Snooker is an excellent PC port of one of the best early snooker games on the Spectrum and Commodore 64 computers. The game was revolutionary for its time-- offering mouse support, practice options, reasonable ball physics, and excellent control interface-- all in 1988. One glaring omission, however, is the complete lack of computer player: you have to either play both players yourself, or find a human friend to play against. This disappointment aside, Alex Higgins offers a smooth snooker game that will please all fans of the sport. Hitting the ball is done via an elegant four-step...
Game, Net & Match! 1998 Sports
Game, Net & Match! is the long-awaited third game in Blue Byte's excellent Great Courts tennis game series. Unfortunately, GNM is not as good as its predecessors: despite SVGA graphics and more gameplay options, the game is so easy that even novice tennis players will find no challenge whatsoever after the first few games. The game starts out promising enough, with the option to practice, play a single match, play a full season, or compete in a tournament. You can create your own player by distributing a limited number of points in 5 categories: volley, speed, strength, forehand, backhand, and service....
Reelect JFK 1994 Simulation
On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot down by an assassin's bullet. Since that time, people have wondered how history might have been different if JFK had lived to complete his first term. Would America have gotten more deeply involved in Vietnam? Would the Civil Rights Act of 1964 have been passed? Would he have been reelected to a second term? Reelect JFK is a first person simulation that puts you in the role of President Kennedy. You have survived the assassination attempt in Dallas, and must continue on your quest for reelection...
Hostage: Rescue Mission (a.k.a. Hostages) 1989 Arcade action
Hostage: Rescue Mission is a fun game from Infogrames, published by Mindscape in the U.S. As commander of an anti-terrorist squad somewhere in Europe, your job is to rescue U.S. Embassy officials who have been taken hostage by terrorists. The game begins with a neat introduction screen, from which you then select which difficulty you would like to play at, and which mission you want to play. The choice of missions is misleading, however, because the gameplay remains more or less the same regardless of what you choose. The first part of your mission is to deploy your men in...
Links 2001 2001 Sports
Since its debut in 1996, each installment in the Links LS series has featured upgrades of one sort or another: higher-resolution graphics, better support for online play, more realistic environments, and the occasional addition of a PGA pro like Davis Love III or Fuzzy Zoeller to accompany Arnold Palmer. But last year's edition, Links LS 2000, was so bereft of new features that few players paid it much attention. What's more, the arrival of Sierra's excellent PGA Championship Golf 2000 - created by some of the same people who worked at Access Software when it created the original Links 386...
Evolution: The Game of Intelligent Life 1997 Strategy
To beat your opponent, you have to evolve to the highest species, to the fastest. To evolve, move your species across the continent to eat the best vegetation, or to munch on your opponent. You, as the player, control your creatures' feeding, reproduction, and fighting. Choose your path through the specie chain ladder. Be a carnivorous or herbivorous creature to be better prepared for the future. If you evolve too quick, you increase the chance that you may go extinct. Evolution requires a different type of strategic thinking than any other game. There is no battles or bloodshed--just peaceful creatures coexisting...
Goody Remake 2005 Action adventure
Goody Remake, as the name implies, is a modern Windows-based remake of Opera Soft's classic Spanish action game of the same name. From my review of Goody elsewhere on this site: "Goody is a fun 2D action/adventure platformer from Spanish developer Opera Soft. You play a small thief bent on robbing a Spanish bank. Before embarking on this venture, you'll need to find appropriate tools for the job, including torch, pincers, etc. Once you gather all the necessary tools, you will be ready to launch the crime. But things are not as easy as they seem, of course. Along the...
Hobbit, The 1983 Adventure
While I can't say I'm a great fan of text based adventure games and probably never will be I still like The Hobbit simply because it's based on the book with the same title by J.R.R. Tolkien. The Hobbit takes place many years before the more popular trilogy Lord of the Rings and you play as Bilbo Baggins (Frodo Baggins' uncle). Like all other text based adventure games you have to type you through the entire game so this is something you have to get used to in order to enjoy the game fully. So direction commands like north, south etc....
Bubble Ghost 1988 Arcade action
When you play a computer game you usually need to take care of your character. If you fall in a trap, get shot, run out of air, etc. - you die. Well not in this game. In this game you're already dead! That's right, you play a lovable little white ghost, who's only worry is that his bubble wouldn't burst! The concept is simple. You need to blow a bubble through the room to the other level. Being a ghost you can position yourself on every imaginable spot on the screen, but if your bubble touches anything it will explode....
