Ants 1995 Amiga
Adult adventures in cyberspace and NOT SUITABLE FOR UNDER 18s. That's woken you up, eh? BloodNet first arrived back in the chilly month of February and our correspondent from north of the border found it a: "compulsive and compelling journey to the outer reaches of cyberspace," scoring it a most impressive 82 per cent. In brief BloodNet is set in New York 99 years from now. Vampires, the Information Superhighway, neural implants and mega corporations play a prominent role in this evil world and for a change, the plot is both relevant and bloody marvellous. And, fanfare, it's a serious, non-linear...
Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich 2005 Role playing
It's rare that a great video game isn't copied to death. The instant a really original design achieves critical and commercial success, a slew of imitators are sure to follow in its wake. For some strange reason, Irrational's fabulous four-color offering called Freedom Force seems to have been immunized against this, the sincerest form of flattery. Though it has much in common with squad-oriented, real time tactical games like Commandos, Freedom Force is undeniably one of a kind and has remained so ever since it was released nearly three years ago. Seeing how no one else has yet picked up the...
Ultima 8: Pagan 1994 Role playing
After almost fifteen years of churning out Ultima games, each one generally better than the last or at the very least quite comparable in quality, Origin finally falls short. Very few companies have a comparable outstanding track record and with good reason -- it's nearly impossible to only make good games. Even the most brilliant minds occasionally have bad ideas and Ultima VIII: Pagan is certainly a case in point. Ultima VIII: Pagan, like all Ultima games, is a story about the Avatar and his quest to live a perfectly virtuous life, subsequently liberating oppressed people wherever he goes. To...
Circus Attractions 1989 Arcade action
Fun mini-games collection comparable to Epyx's sports series, but set in an unusual scenario of a circus. Circus Attractions was published by a company called Golden Goblins. I only heard very few from them back then. They obviously were in some way related to Rainbow Arts - probably a sub-label. The game lets you compete in five events: knife throwing, clown jumping (fun-- must be tried to be believed), juggling, trampoline, and tightrope walking. There's also a nice two-player team-play option. A fun game overall, with a few little gags that I won't spoil here. =) The Amiga version is,...
Last Bronx 1998 Arcade action
Given Sega's less than stellar track record with arcade to PC conversions, I was somewhat hesitant to even try Last Bronx. As usual, Sega decided it wasn't necessary to provide 3Dfx or Direct3D support right out of the box, so running this game anywhere near the arcade version is completely out of the question. However, unlike VF2, Last Bronx can be made playable by messing around with the extensive collection of display options. As usual, you can control the action with the keyboard, but you might as well not even play if that's the case. However, grab a Microsoft Sidewinder Pad...
Dark Queen of Krynn, The 1992 Role playing
The weakest of all Gold Box games in my opinion, SSI's games based on "Dragonlance" AD&D setting are still decent enough to merit attention by all RPG fans. It is not that they are bad games - I just find the plots of "Forgotten Realms" games more interesting and the gameplay more balanced. Champions of Krynn for example gives no experience to any character who is knocked unconscious in combat - something that not only violates AD&D rules, but also makes the game unfairly frustrating, especially in the beginning when your party is still weak. The three games in this...
Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill 1998 Adventure
I used to love Nancy Drew and read all of the books before I was 12. Many years have passed since then, and some early onset of Alzheimer's has intervened, but I still remember them clearly. Even though Secrets Can Kill was really designed for teenage girls, I was looking forward to playing it and reliving my fond memories. The game starts off with Nancy on a visit to her Aunt Eloise in Florida. Aunt Eloise works as a librarian at the local high school. Just before your arrival, a student was murdered at the school, and as you start the...
Vampire 1996 Arcade action
Rise from your grave at midnight and prowl the streets in search of blood. Just be sure to be back in your coffin before sunrise! ...
Super Space Invaders 1991 Arcade action
Remember that arcade classic Invaders? Well this game takes it to the next level with harder aliens, bosses, power ups, and a variety of scenery! Invaders come in several configurations for you to try to blast, and power-ups help you with more weapons to choose from. ...
Blue Max 1991 Amiga
Time to take to the air and give Boche his due -it's a World War One flying ace sim. On loading, you're treated to a rather tasty intro sequence, with an atmospheric soundtrack over a sequence of digitised images of fighter planes from the great war-to-end-all-wars. Whoever wrote this game is seriously into it - the manual gives you all sorts of embarrassingly thorough information on what planes were used, the pilots that flew them, the guns that they killed people with and even the propellers on the front for God's sake. The game itself is a 3D flight sim dressed...
