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, […]

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 […]

Rush Hour
Friday, October 5, 2018
Rush Hour is a racing game in the style of Ignition or Micro Machines. The landscape as well the cars are rendered in 3D, though not exactly good 3D, in a top down perspective. You can drive 16 different sport cars and choose from 8 different tracks. You can play against seven computer-controlled opponents or […]
