Boggle
Monday, October 8, 2018
What is Boggle? Based on a real world board game, it presents you with a set of dice with letters on their faces instead of pips; you place the dice into a tray-container combination, shake it up, and then, when the dice have settled into slots on the 4×4 grid in the tray, whip off […]

Future Cop: L.A.P.D.
Sunday, October 7, 2018
It’s the future, and Los Angeles has degraded into a smoggy trashheap of illegal drugs, rampaging mutants, and super-villains with cool names who enjoy clubbing baby seals and taunting the police. To keep law and order, the L.A.P.D. has created a bipedal, ass-stomping robot loaded with enough firepower to level a city, and lets it […]

Zanzarah: The Hidden Portal
Sunday, October 7, 2018
A bit like Pokem, but with fairies. Zanzarah isn’t a name that rolls off the tongue, so you’d expect a decent game to infuse a pleasant experience with such a wordy title. It’s half there, providing an unusual and strangely alluring fantasy world with the usual ‘save the world’ motif. You play as Amy, who […]

ODT: Escape Or Die Trying
Sunday, October 7, 2018
Unlike many action games, O.D.T. has a story line that, if properly developed and integrated into gameplay, could add much to the overall experience. Set in a fictional world ravaged by a deadly plague, O.D.T. casts you as one of four crew members aboard a prop-driven dirigible that’s crashed in uncharted territory while on a […]

Air Warrior II
Saturday, October 6, 2018
Air Warrior is the simulation that has given many would-be virtual pilots their first taste of what its like to fly against another person instead of an AI-controlled enemy aircraft. It’s the Doom of flight sims, essentially, so it’s quite an interesting entry as far as 90s flight games. Air Warrior II has a bit […]

Time Warrior: The Armageddon Device
Saturday, October 6, 2018
In the future, where everybody wears space age turtlenecks, an ancient terror is unleashed by a group of archaeologists (no, not on Mars, that’s a different game entirely). This twisty, rust-colored juggernaut floats around in space and, basically, blows everything up. Only one man can save the universe: The Time Warrior! You’re sent into the […]

Project Nomads
Saturday, October 6, 2018
Project Nomads is avery odd mish mash of several genres. The story is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi trip through a fractured world inhabited by a nomadic populace. You are given three characters to choose from, with names that are surprisingly bland considering the sci-fi fantasy motif of Nomad’s universe. John is the adept engineer of the […]

Microshaft Winblows 98
Friday, October 5, 2018
In short, Microshaft Winblows 98 is a spoof on Windows 98 and Bill Gates, containing a string of FMV with various jokes poking fun at both as well as minigames that dress everything up in satire. Included games are “The Roll Ahead” a strategy board game where the player has to recreate Bill Gate’s road […]

Chicken Run
Friday, October 5, 2018
Metal Gear Solid with chickens. Considering the subject matter of the movie Chicken Run, it makes sense that the game is is a semi-remake of Konami’s Metal Gear Solid, but with chickens. Here’s the idea – you take the role of one of the stars of the movie, such as Ginger, Rocky, or Fletcher, and […]
