Creed, The 1998 Arcade action
A good example of a "great concepts, botched execution" game, The Creed is very innovative cyperpunk action/adventure that could have been the definitive game of its kind before Deus Ex comes along, if only the developer had spent more time polishing the codes and squashing major bugs. Karen Zierler says it all in a very thorough review of this buggy game that was only released in Australia and Asia: "It's a simple idea really, and nothing to do with religion as we know it. Violence is the creed. Get them before they get you and use who you can. Swindle,...
Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders 1988 Amiga
Zak's saga is played out pretty much in the style of Lucasfilm's other joystick operated adventure game - Maniac Mansion. The action of Zak and his mates is controlled using cursor, joystick and a menu system of possible commands and displayed a bit like a film in the top half of the screen. Basically, you move the cursor over verbs like WALK TO and USE and then move it over the appropriate object either on the screen or in your inventory. Easy eh? It's up to you and your own little set of brain cells to direct Zak from his humble...
Gravity Sports 3 2001 Strategy
Yet another innovative but not very well known freeware puzzler from Japan. Gravity Sports 3 is a cool puzzle game where you control a cute anime girl named Jiima, who wants to collect all the candies in each level. The interest twist here is that to get to some candies, you need to change the direction of gravity between up and down (180-degree turns) and left and right (90-degree turns, either clockwise or counterclockwise), so that Jiima can walk to collect them. To make your task more difficult, you can only change the direction of gravity by using icons, the...
Pacific Fighters 2004 Simulation
Pacific Fighters, the latest in the acclaimed IL-2 Sturmovik franchise from 1C/Maddox Games, rather than devise anything dramatic, it largely chooses to stay the course, keeping intact the fine graphics and flight modeling seen in earlier installments. Players with enough video-card power will see awesome rippling water effects around nicely detailed ships, which adds to the atmosphere of the game. Other objects look much like they did in previous Sturmovik games, which is pretty good. Planes still show off great details, paint jobs, and dynamic damage, and vehicles and terrain also get quality treatment. Some of the game's fans have expressed...
Stay Tooned! 1996 Action adventure
Sierra's Stay Tooned! is a mix of Saturday morning cartoon slapstick and adventure. Gameplay is similar to Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time, a blend of mini-games, QuickTime video clips, and traditional adventure gaming. Much to your dismay, your TV remote is lost somewhere in the apartment building where you live and you have to find it. In the meantime, the toons are running rampant in the building. Can you stop them? ...
Slam 'n Jam 1997 Sports
Slam 'n Jam is a decent, little-known PC port of the 3DO arcade-style basketball game, which was in turn unofficially based on Konami's classic arcade game Run & Gun (the similarities between the two games are obvious, even if Crystal Dynamics never acknowledge the Konami game). To make the game a bit more attractive to PC gamers, Crystal Dynamics has included two of the most famous players of all time - Ervin "Magic" Johnson and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Unfortunately, that does little to elevate the game above the mediocre status. The game itself is not close to the arcade it "borrowed"...
Utopia 1991 Strategy
Ever read Thomas Moore? He described Utopia as a place where (among other things a man and a woman would see each other naked before the wedding and decide if they like what they see - at the time that the parents were still arranging the whole thing)! Well this Utopia is nothing like that, but you get a chance to build your own world. First time I heard about this game was when I asked to be assigned for a game no one else would like to review and Tom gave me this... Didn't even know what the game...
Soldier of Fortune 2000 Arcade action
Activision's Soldier of Fortune sounds like a movie or television drama title; in fact, maybe they should make it one! The idea that the U.S. government's regulations and code of conduct put restrictions on undercover operations, whereby allowing a group such as paramilitary soldiers to take care of domestic and international terrorism, makes for a great story-driven plot. Complete with wonderful voice acting and a plethora of cut-scenes, what more could an action game fan want? This first-person shooter isn't really linear; it involves undercover stealth missions, in-between briefings, and all-out frag fests and multi-player mayhem. Though not exactly a very...
Comanche 3 1997 Simulation
In Comanche 3 players fly through dangerous missions in a chopper designed using authentic Boeing and Sikorsky documents, and tested by Army pilots. You will take the stick of a Comanche helicopter and navigate your way through 30 missions such as night creeps, strategic lightning strikes, and set-piece assaults. Comanche 3 is equipped with an easy and advanced model, and a visual flight recorder that lets you rewind and change the outcome of your mission. Up to eight players may play together using "Multiplayer Network" mode. ...
American Girls Premiere, The 1997 Educational
If there are any budding playwrights in your family, or even just for girls who are interested in times past or the history, American Girls Premiere is something they will definitely enjoy.

The game is on two CD-Roms and is filled with backgrounds and sets, props, characters and sound effects for players to use in constructing their plays. First, you decide which character you wish to use. The program starts off in that character's bedroom, but you can bring up a list...
