Namcap

I’ve seen some weird games in my time but namcap is pretty weird in my book. It’s a lot like the old pacman where you control a yellow smiley face eating dots which are protected by four ghosts. You can only eat the ghosts if you eat a power pill which will make the ghosts […]

Stunt car racer

Stunt car racer is a very non-standard racing game in which you drive a car around a rollercoaster like track. There are four divisions with different difficulty levels, each containing three drivers and two tracks. You start in division four and you have to compete to make it to the higher levels. Apart from driving […]

Flight of the amazon queen

After all these years I still keep coming back to the old adventure games and flight of the amazon queen ranks among the good ones. Anyone who’s played a lucasarts adventure like monkey island should feel right at home with the interface as it’s a standard point and click one with icons for use, pick […]

Uncanny X-men, the

The X-men are probably one of the most wellknown group of superheroes in the Marvel universe. In this game you get to play six of them: Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Colossus, Iceman and nightcrawler and once again Magneto is the villain. You’ll have to fight in four levels but there is a practice level as well […]

Yes prime minister!

Yes prime minister! is a game which is actually based on a British comedy show that aired in the early eighties. I did not know this at first and thought the game tried to be a serious simulator in which you are the prime minister of the United kingdom. When I found out that it […]

Realms of arkania is a game that is based on a German RPG series calles ‘Das Schwarze Auge’ which literally means the black eye. The game itself has various different elements as it has a nice and large 3D view of your surroundings but fights are done in turnbased 3rd person view. Travel between towns […]

War in Middle Earth

Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien is probably among the most famous books of all time and they spawned loads of merchandise so inevitably there would be games as well. War in Middle Earth is a strategy wargame and as far as I know it is the only game there is in this category […]

V the game

V the computer game is based on the movie and series V in which aliens visitors came to earth in 50 spaceships offering friendship and technology. Some were not convinced of their intentions and after investigating they found out the aliens were actually lizardlike creatures who wanted to take over earth. You play the leader […]

Legacy, the

The majority of RPG’s is set in ancient or fantasy world so it’s always refreshing to see one that plays out in modern (more or less) times. In the legacy you play as the heir of Winthrop manor and seeing that the person who owned it has passed away you go out to check it […]

Prince of Persia 2

Prince of Persia was a wildly popular game and it was released for almost every system released at the time. The sequel was released only on DOS systems and people had mixed feelings about it. Basically it’s a lot like the first game but with improved graphics and a storyline that is told between levels […]
