Royal Envoy
A neat mix of time-managment and city building but the fact that you cannot lose the game, makes it too casual for me.
When I first started playing this game, I was quite intrigued, it offers a nice mixture of old school 'Settler' like village-building and time-managment at the same time. You have to plan your city, make sure you houses ... Read Full Review

Hinterland
Great game with interesting bland of genres. But it is as good as it lasts, which is not as long as you might be used to
Hinterand's premise in simple. The game is split into two parts. First, build your medieval village buy recruiting strolling visitors and buy them lots. The townsfolk come in many varieties and catering for many needs, s... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
A solid and fine gaming experience but not as revolutionary as they are trying to make you believe.
The resurrection of the classic Platformer has been a huge success, spawning two sequels. The praise is hard earned but definitely in the right place. Like the original, Sands of Time is a very solid, if a bit unpolish... Read Full Review

Rise of the Triad: Dark War
Over-the-top gory & quirky FPS experience from now disfunct 3D Realms, cannot keep up with their other titles though
Rise of the Triad: Dark war, or oddly enough abbreviated as ROTT is Apogee's (later 3D Realms) follow up game to Wolfenstein 3D, but it soon departed from the former's style and visuals, becoming a game of its own. Obvio... Read Full Review

Abuse
If you are looking for a solid Jump N Run for the PC (not much to look at anyway), Abuse might be the one-stop game.
The Personal computer has never been the Mecca for Jump N Run gamers. The Amiga did it before him with plenty of good and great jump n runs to choose from (Magic Pockets, Switchblade, Wolfchild, Assassin, the list goes o... Read Full Review

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
A bold step in RPG gaming, combining the gritty appeal of the goth-punk setting with classic role playing elements. Ace

Quarantine (1994)
Driving a cab in a futuristc, dystopian and utterly misantrhopic waste dump of a city. Sounds like fun ? Hell Yeah !
Quarantine was one of these odd experiences I had with quite a few games back in the days. I never finished it, because I enjoyed roaming around the game world causing general mayhem (the story of my life) Just like in G... Read Full Review

Professor Layton and the Curious Village
A beautifully crafted puzzle game which feels more like an off-beat old school adventure title ! Very good !
Professor Layton and the curious village is basically a game sporting the story of an old school adventure game, oddball characters, an engaging, yet not too overwhelming story and beautfiul artwork. Yet, the gameplay co... Read Full Review

Alone in the Dark: The Trilogy 1+2+3
Classic survival horror game, which pits you against hordes of undead, unraveling the truth about a haunted house !

Golden Axe
This game is classic beat-em up game. I should rather say slash-em up because the setting is medieval fantasy.

A fast paced puzzle / agility hybrid which may very well lead to you loosing your (coloured) marbles ! A classic !
The thing that is the most hardest to describe about this game is the setting, which is basically very abstract and virtually non-existent. As with many other puzzle games, the game evolves around a colour code. Blue,... Read Full Review

Lemmings
A great puzzle game featuring cute little green-haired smurfalikes with a strong determination to walk. Sounds like fun.

The game to end all games. Great storylines and sophisticated game mechanics make this the last RPG you will ever play.
