Yahoo! Balloon Circus 2001 Arcade action
Yahoo! Balloon Circus is yet another small, fun freeware gem from promotional game developer E-Game. Once again, the ties between the product the game promote and the game itself are quite ingeniously presented: remember those colorful balloons on Yahoo!'s homepage? Well, here they are as objects of destruction in this game. Your goal is to pop all balloons on each level, but only by bumping two guys on a seesaw to make them hit those balloons. This is quite challenging, especially since you must remember that the seesaw works in rotation, i.e. once you bump one guy up in the...
Qianhong 2005 Strategy
Qianhong is a good and free Chinese chess game for Windows. The author calls the game "Chinese chess for the casual and curious," and this description fits Qianhong quite well. The well-written and concise on-line rules explain all you need to know about the basics of Chinese chess. Attractive graphics, availability of a Western-style iconic character set for the pieces (as opposed to typical Chinese characters), and an easy-to-use interface help draw beginners into the game. Although the program has relatively weak AI when compared to commercial Chinese chess programs, it offers the ingenious ability to install "AI plugins" coded...

Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar 1985 Role playing
Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar was the point at which I jumped on the Ultima train. For those of you who are compulsive like I am and have to start something at the beginning but don't want to suffer through a tedious gameplay experience, take heart. Ultima IV is a good introduction to the world of Ultima. It isn't that the first three games in the Ultima series are not worth their while; it's just that it's a little difficult, in this day and age, to suffer through the technical limitations that surrounded the development of those games. The...
Croc 2 2000 Arcade action
The reptilian hero returns in Argonaut Software's sequel to Croc, Croc 2. Croc 2 has over 40 levels including secret levels and over 30 characters. The graphics are like eye candy and the sound quality is excellent. The story line of Croc 2 is nothing earth-shattering, but is simple and mediocre. The introduction of the game begins with a scene with a Gobbo, the furball race that raised Croc, inventor being captured by the Dantinsis after witnessing the plot of the return of Baron Dante. Then the scene goes to Croc and the Gobbos playing on the beach. Croc finds a...

War in Middle Earth 1988 Amiga
Mastertronic's latest incarnation of the classic fantasy novel Lord of the Rings is a wargame with a difference.

Star Wars: Jar Jar's Journey Adventure Book 1999 Educational
When The Phantom Menace. However, taking this program for what it is (an introduction to the wonders of computing for young children), there couldn't be a better star.
