Begin 2: A Tactical Starship Simulation 1991 Simulation
Begin 2 is a classic shareware space combat simulation set in the Star Trek universe. Inspired by the Starfleet Battles board game (which was also an inspiration for Interplay's Starfleet Command), Begin 2 is the best game I've played that utilizes turn-based gameplay with simultaneous execution of combat, featuring combat between up to 50-plus ships at a time. What really makes this game shine is the true-to-Star-Trek complexity of the orders you can give to your officers: you can dock at space stations, lock tractor beams on friends and enemies, launch probes, and try to take over enemy ships by beaming...
Player Manager 2 1995 Sports
Player Manager 2 by Anco is a decent football management sim that tries to entice fans of its classic Kick Off arcade-style football series, but without designer Dino Dini at the helm. As the name of the game implies, the setting of Player Manager 2 is quite unique as far as football games go. You are not just a rookie manager, but a "capped player" - someone who has peaked in his career as a football player. You have been appointed the "Player Manager" of a club in the second division, tasked with leading the club to greatness. by assembling...
Scud Atak 1991 Arcade action
Low-rise buildings huddle in a row, perhaps in some Tel Aviv suburb, while fearfully awaiting the flaming death Saddam Hussein's Scud missiles promise to rain down. Patriot ballistic missile defense batteries wait in the eaves, their operators hoping to successfully intercept an incoming Scud before it reaches a target. This was 1991 in the news, and so in its games also. A topical spin made Missile Command suddenly relevant again, and so its shoot-the-missiles-before-they-deliver-their-payload gameplay was exhumed for another parade around the screen. In this case, your 24 Patriots are controlled by the mouse -- a first click...
Crazy Shot 1989 Arcade action
Crazy Shot is a fun shooting gallery game from French developer Loriciel. Basically you choose from a number of different shooting galleries, and shoot as many targets as possible within the time limit to rack up your score. Targets range from balloons, to moving ducks, animals, and others that you would never see at a real fair. The game is fun for a while, until you see all the targets, after which it becomes quite repetitive. The virtual prizes you win are also pretty banal, and not worth the trouble of playing the game more than the first few times....
Jewels of the Oracle 1995 Adventure
Jewels of the Oracle is a niche title for gamers who simply enjoy challenging logic puzzles or games of strategy. Its success is seen from the fact that several imitators have since been released from different developers and publishers, all claiming to be the true sequel to the cult classic Jewels of the Oracle. For the veteran adventure gamers, however, such enthusiasm quickly dies down from the lack of continuity in gameplay between these puzzles. Only one legacy remains of the civilization known throughout the Fertile Crescent before the Sumerians. People of extraordinary intellect, their pursuits were of the mind instead...
Back to The Future II 1990 Arcade action
I'm sure you all know the great movie trilogy Back to the Future. Those were great movies, and a number of games were based upon them. Here's the second game: BttF2. As you may remember from the movie, Marty is in the future, riding one of those cool hoverboards... You might not find them so cool after you're done with the game, because you'll have to ride them a lot! The level is timed, and if you simply skate you won't be fast enough. That's why you need to grab hold of a car going in your direction. You also...
Transport Tycoon Deluxe 1995 Strategy
Excellent game! Picking up the idea of Railroad Tycoon you are now in control of all aspects of the transport-business. Trains as well busses and planes. And all this in a nice environment with great graphics and involving sound. While covering many aspects and requiring some skill to perform well on all sectors this game still keeps the playful nature and is far from being a dry business-sim. I used to play this a lot some years ago and only now stumbled upon it again. It may not have the classical kult-status that Railroad-Tycoon has, the idea itself isn't new and...
Re-Volt 1999 Sports
In the world of toy publishing, few toys can match the speed of Toy-Volt's success with its line of remote-controlled (R/C) cars. Acclaim brought the fun of R/C racing to Re-Volt, which boasts great gameplay and high replayability despite some AI quirks. The game lets you control over 28 Toy-Volt's R/C cars (plus 5 secret ones) and race them on 13 mostly inventive tracks. To begin with, the level design in Re-Volt is fantastic, featuring realism rarely seen before in this genre. My favorite level, 'Toys in the Hood,' has you racing around the streets, avoiding parked cars, taking shortcuts...
Zool 1993 Arcade action
Zool and Zool 2 are above-average 2D platformers from Gremlin that are quite obviously ri....err, I mean, "inspired" by SEGA's best-selling Sonic games. Instead of the quirky hedgehog, you control a similar-looking cartoon character: Zool, the "Ninja from the Nth Dimension" who must - what else-rid his world of an evil mastermind. Your goal for each stage is simply to collect goodies and beat the "boss" monster to progress. Although the premise is passable and the graphics are quite nice, both Zool games are unfortunately very repetitive: despite having a good number of levels (18 stages spanning 6 worlds), the levels...
RealmSpeak (a.k.a. Magic Realm) 2005 Strategy
RealmSpeak is a solid freeware Java version of Magic Realm, Avalon Hill's classic and long out-of-print tabletop strategy game featuring fantasy elements. An ambitious game that is much broader in scope and more complex than other similar games (such as AH's own Wizards), Magic Realm successfully captures the feel of a "dungeonmaster-less" tabletop RPG game. This review explains why: "The different characters that the players can use are very different -- they don't simply have different "stats." The Swordsman, Amazon and Black Knight, for example, are all warriors, as are the Berserker, Dwarf and Captain, but they all behave quite...
