Arcade America

Arcade America is a humorous platform game where you control the rather overweight Joey. You are contacted by a music agent who wants to get you and your band to one of the most famous music festivals in the world, Woodstock. On your way to Woodstock, you must stop at ten different locations across the state, complete several levels, and rescue each member of your band. Along the way, you will encounter enemies such as: ghosts, voodoo dolls, inflatable boats, etc. In the game, you will also face a lot of mini-games. The location of the levels is, for example, in Alcatraz, Las Vegas, or the Grand Canyon. At the same time, Ha is built on quirky humor, which abounds during your trip to Woodstock. While moving between levels, the player takes part in a crazy minigame where he controls Joey's car as he drives towards the next area. While driving, Joey must avoid obstacles on his way, but he can also collect ammunition for his slingshot. Driving into an obstacle decreases the time limit.

Clash of Steel: World War II, Europe 1939-45

Clash of Steel is a strategy game that covers World War II in Europe on a grand strategic scale between 1939 and 1945. Three major powers are playable: Germany (Axis), the Allies and the Soviet Union. In the game each player in charge of his chosen major power and its land, air and naval forces. Each player also controls production and research of military equipment. COS should not be missed. While the victory conditions are an overly simplistic all-or-nothing, the myriad of options coupled with a relatively short playing time allows one to test out his favorite theories of what should and shouldn't work. The graphics are good, the VGA resolution of 640x480 pixels has a lot to offer. Nevertheless, 16 colors do not leave much scope for truly outstanding performance in this area. Although no visual action scenes have been incorporated into this typical wargame, troop movements and combat operations are acoustically accompanied by the SoundBlaster. However, you should turn down the volume control a little, otherwise the neighbors might think that you are dealing with something larger than a harmless computer.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

Shao Kahn, tired of constant defeats in tournaments, proceeds with a 10,000-year-old plan, which includes reviving his consort, Queen of Outworld Sindel. This is only possible on Earth. This crosses the line, the two worlds partially merge, and millions of people die. The survivors are saved by Raiden, the patron of Earth. However, he cannot do more, his supernatural abilities do not work in the Otherworld. Shao Kahn sends his extermination squads to Earth, Raiden, on the other hand, drives people to attack. The disaster must be averted at all costs. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is a standalone update of 1995's earlier Mortal Kombat 3 with an altered gameplay system, additional characters like the returning favorites Reptile, Kitana, Jade and Scorpion who were missing from Mortal Kombat 3, and some new features. Two new gameplay modes have been introduced since the original Mortal Kombat 3: the 2-on-2 mode which was similar to an Endurance match but with as many as three human players in a given round on both sides (these had not been seen in the series since the first Mortal Kombat), and a new eight-player Tournament mode. An extra Master difficulty is present. Shao Kahn's Lost Treasures – selectable prizes, of which some are extra fights and others lead to various cutscenes or other things – are introduced after either the main game or the eight-player Tournament are completed.

Shinobi

You control a shinobi, Joe Musashi, who must battle his way through each level in search of hostages which must be rescued. You have shurikens, kicks and punches to defend yourself with, as well as powerful ninja magic which can clear the screen of enemies in one go. Members of the gang and at the same time the criminal organization Zeed kidnap the children of Musashi's clan. Without batting an eye, Joe enters the gang-controlled area and uses martial arts to fight his way to the very heart and headquarters of the clan. Here he confronts its leader himself and uncovers the shocking identity of Nakahara Musashi. You as a Joe Musashi traverse a set area in five missions, and at the end of each you face a boss that is always introduced to you before the start of each level. First, you walk through a slum with a gigantic samurai named Ken Oh; in the harbor, the Black Turtle stands in your way. In a secret base that is hidden in a cave, you must destroy a fire-spitting statue of Mandara. The ninja training camp is headed by the huge samurai Lobster. The last part takes place already in the gang's headquarters, and here Joe faces the masked ninja Nakahara. Each mission consists of several additional levels in which Joe frees the hostages and kills all the ninjas who attack him.

24.04.2024 Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind small screenshot

Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind

Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind is a 2D platform game in which the player controls the lynx Bubsy, who must go through 16 levels, collect items and kill enemies. The time limit stands in his way, and there is also a game mode for two players on one computer. In the game, enemy aliens called "Woolies" intend to steal Earth's supply of yarn balls. Since Bubsy has the world's largest collection of yarn balls, he has the most at stake and sets out to stop the Woolies and reclaim the yarn balls. The game plays as a 2D side-scrolling platformer. The player must maneuver Bubsy through the levels, jumping on Woolies, and collecting stray yarn balls (which earns the player an extra life if 500 are collected). The game consists of sixteen levels, and Bubsy starts off with nine lives. In general, the game's gameplay has been compared to the Sonic the Hedgehog games from the Genesis era. Originally a console-only title by Accolade, it was later released for the Windows 95 operating system in an improved version called Super Bubsy. The original release of the game also included a comic series pilot starring Bubsy.

Flames of Freedom

Flames of Freedom (also known as Midwinter II: Flames of Freedom) is a first-person shooter role-playing video game with simulation elements developed by Maelstrom Games and published by MicroProse for MS-DOS, Amiga, and Atari ST in 1991. It is a sequel to the 1989 game Midwinter and its working title was Wildfire. Years after the events of Midwinter (1989), the Earth's climate stabilized, the island of Midwinter sank into the depths of the ocean, and in its place arose a set of smaller islands, called the Slave Isles, which are controlled by the slave-owning Saharan Empire. The Atlantic Federation of Peace and its agents travel to the chain of islands to free the local population from the slavers and prevent their expansion into their territories. This time, the player is transferred to the role of a secret agent of the Atlantic Federation, who on the islands wins allies from among the rebels, carries out assassinations and sabotages slave installations. Once again, he has a range of technologies and weapons at his disposal, controlling and piloting vehicles or light aircraft, including equipment stolen by the enemy. A series of missions and tasks are carried out across the vast world of all islands, and the strategic map makes it easier to navigate them.

24.04.2024 Dirt Track Racing small screenshot

Dirt Track Racing

Dirt Track Racing is the first part of the DTR series (including two more sequels) and it was one of the first "dirt" racing games. You could say a predecessor of FlatOut. Dirt Track Racing features 3 classes of cars (stock, pro stock, and late model, each can be enhanced with performance parts) and some figure-8 tracks instead of just ovals. The cars could also be improved in various ways with new parts. The tracks in Dirt Track Racing can be characterized in three words: oval, dirt, and small. They range in variety from regular ovals, to D-ovals, to the occasional figure eight. All said, the game has approximately 30 of these unimaginative racetracks scattered across a number of states throughout the US. And while the nature of dirt-track racing (this motorsport actually exists) calls for these sorts of uneventful tracks, translating them into a computer game makes them lose whatever real-life appeal they might have. The player can choose to either play one race or play in career mode where the player starts with next to nothing and work your way up gaining sponsors and more money as the player gets better. The player can also race with up to 10 people online.

Kroz

Kroz is a series of Roguelike video games created by Scott Miller for IBM PC compatibles. The first episode in the series, Kingdom of Kroz, was released in 1987 as Apogee Software's first game.

The Kroz game set is one of the first successful series of shareware games in history. The author is Scott Miller, his main inspiration was the game Rogue. The name is a play on words - it is created by reversing the sequence of letters from the name of the game Zork. These are action games with logic elements.
