Kart Racer
Sunday, October 21, 2018
Kart Racer, a budget-priced racing game, contains three kart vehicle classes – 60cc, 125cc and 250cc, and 15 different tracks to drive. A new player starts with the lowest class of cart on a single track; you unlock more tracks and cart classes by climbing a score table based on your performance. Losing races may […]

Knight Moves
Sunday, October 21, 2018
In Spectrum HoloByte’s board / puzzle game, Knight Moves, the age-old challenge of chess has been taken into new territory with the addition of a healthy dose of action. Knight Moves challenges you to control an animated knight who leaps around a chessboard stocked with enemies, hazards, and power-ups. Your knight can only move in […]

Stolen
Saturday, October 20, 2018
Anya Romanov, the resident of noir-fictional and perpetually shadowy Forge City and the thieving star of developer Blue 52’s Stolen, was supposed to be a narrative breath of fresh air for the gaming world. She’s not a super-agent selflessly saving the world, or some magical-girl savior. Yeah, she’s the obligatory videogame stealth-hottie, but she starts […]

Silent Heroes: Elite Troops of WWII
Friday, October 19, 2018
If Silent Heroes feels eerily familiar, it might be beacuse you’ve already played it before (back when it was called Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2). Except Silent Heroes takes the original real-time tactical game and minimizes it to incorporate fewer units against greater odds, attempting to make it feel more like a squad-based Commandos […]

Across the Rhine
Friday, October 19, 2018
Across the Rhine is an oddball mix of tank simulation and strategy set during World War 2. It’s also a monster of complexity that will rightfully scare off most people, requiring almost as much time to master as Harpoon or Falcon 3.0. As a combat game, it’s weak. Upon entering battle, I found it impossible […]

Alien Incident
Friday, October 19, 2018
It’s Halloween and your uncle is testing his latest invention, a device which opens a rift between Earth and everywhere else in the universe. An alien entity makes its way to Earth through the rift, but the real problem is that this entity is pursued by an Shot1 alien warship… the contents of which don’t […]

Mad Trax
Thursday, October 18, 2018
Well designed and fun to play with a wealth of ridiculous banks, leaps, and curves, Mad Trax certainly has a fair share of good action. You race in one of eight customizable cars, and where you’ll finish is always a mystery-there are power ups lying around waiting to be used and abused, including shields, missiles, […]

Black Knight: Marine Strike Fighter
Wednesday, October 17, 2018
Black Knight: Marine Strike Fighter is a simulation of the F/A-18 Hornet, which is currently being used by both the U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy. At first glance, this game reminds me of F/A-18 Hornet add-on for Falcon 3.0 from Spectrum Holobyte and Apache from I-Magic, mainly due to the similarity in quality of the […]

Renju
Wednesday, October 17, 2018
It sounds simple enough. Just place five consecutive stones in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line. Sort of like Tic-Tac-Toe, right? Renju, a variant of the popular board game Pente, is one of those deceptively simple strategy games that turn out to be diabolically complex. First off, there are 225 spaces on the game board; […]

Simon the Sorcerer 3D
Tuesday, October 16, 2018
As with Escape from Monkey Island, Prince of Persia 3D, Earthworm Jim 3D or Quest for Glory V, Simon the Sorcerer 3D follows a long and twisted logic of changing hand-drawn, beautiful 2D games into ugly, crude and poorly animated 3D remakes that played like crap and made you barf. It was at that strange […]
