Simon the Sorcerer
Sunday, October 14, 2018
Simon the Sorcerer stands out for several reasons. For one thing, it’s a great point and click game that wasn’t made by Sierra or LucasArts, despite having the humor of Monkey Island and an engaging fantasy setting that will remind one of Kyrandia or King’s Quest. And being made by a British company (Adventuresoft), it’s […]

Space Bunnies Must Die
Saturday, October 13, 2018
Space Bunnies is a bad B-game with poor controls, mediocre gameplay and weak graphics. It appears that the majority of money spent on the game was directed at the soundtrack, art direction and advertising because Space Bunnies Must Die! is all concept, no execution. It’s a painful experience to make your way through the early […]

The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki
Thursday, October 11, 2018
The Bland Corridor Shooter of Dr. Derivative Radiaki is like Doom, or many lowly clones of Doom. There’s a dumb plot, a funny villain and odd monsters (it’s not a game that takes itself very seriously). In Radiaki, you’re a super agent sent to penetrate the good doctor’s fortress and stop Radiaki before he can […]

Catechumen
Wednesday, October 10, 2018
May the Lord bless this holy mess. Catechumen is both bizarre and strangely fascinating. I can’t even say I hate it as a game, but I am dumbfounded by it all the same. It pursues the always difficult task of making action games fun without having any violence, gore or bad language in them. It’s […]

Flying Saucer
Tuesday, October 9, 2018
Is it true that the United States government is somewhat behind an alien plot to destroy the world? This is one question that is raised in AnyRiver’s craptastic shooter / flight simulator / action game in which you pilot a UFO (at which point you probably identify it and spoil its name). You plummet into […]

Chaos Control
Tuesday, October 9, 2018
The year is 2050, and the Kesh Rhan, an evil and highly advanced civilization, is hungry for new turf — Earth’s turf, to be exact. But never fear; you, as Jessica Darkhill, are Earth’s best hope against a surprise alien attack. You’ll pilot a fighter craft against swarms of enemy ships about to storm earth, […]
