Sid Meier's Gettysburg

Sid Meier's Gettysburg


In this sense, Gettysburg! excels. The brigade commander only gets the information that such an officer would have, and to the greatest extent possible, it provides you the information in the most realistic manner. As a result, much of the sounds you’ll hear when on the battlefield are as important as what you’ll see. All these subtle pieces of information help provide the commander with the details necessary in planning his next move.

Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear Solid, the fifth game of its series. Many gamers regarded Metal Gear for NESwas one of best game in the 8-bit age. But Metal Gear was only a part of Hideo Kojima’s vision. He wanted the game to be the best action game of all time. Now with the technology to do that, Metal Gear Solid was born. MGS is the culmination of eleven years of conceptual development and three years of intensive programming. With actions that does not stop, endless adventure, and a dramatic storyline you barely find in video game. You are a lone soldier, who was called in since its last battle. Now Fox Hound, a high-tech special ops group, need your help to seize a nuclear weapons storage facility. Not only that, but you also need to find out about Metal Gear Rex. You will meet different NPCs in the game, some are good, some bad, and one is ugly.

Dino Crisis


Dino Crisis

If you think that Dino Crisis is just a Resident Evil clone with dinosaurs replacing zombies, you are off the
mark completely! Dino Crisis takes Resident Evil and molds it into something better than one would expect!
You play the role of Regina, a special ops agent sent to Ibis Island to apprehend Dr. Edward Kirk. Supposedly, the doc has been doing some strange experiments here. That's when you get into trouble. You find dead workers, and then you are attacked by a raptor. Of course no one will believe you.

CROC: LEGEND OF THE GOBBOS


CROC: LEGEND OF THE GOBBOS

Are you one of the Mario 64 jealous Playstation owners or just someone who is in the mood for a great
adventure? If so, all I can say is Croc is the game for you. You control the main character, CROC, through four massive levels with six islands in each level. There are eight secret levels throughout these islands each containing a jigsaw piece. Collect all eight jigsaw pieces, and Croc will reveal a big surprise.

Sorcerer

Sorcerer

Recently I decided try an unfamiliar classic game to see what I missed out on years ago. Sorcerer, by Mythicon, looked unique and interesting at first glance so I put it to the test.
In this game the player takes on the role of a Sorcerer who must fight wave after wave of evil creatures sent forth to conquer the land. At the beginning of the game, as well as at the start of each new life, the Sorcerer is given an opportunity to catch a flying platform that allows him/her to roam freely about the screen rather than being earthbound at the bottom. From there, gameplay flows from left to right across consecutive screens, with each screen bringing another challenge that must be faced.

Wizard of Wor

Wizard of Wor.

Wizard of Wor was created by Midway. It's hardware is very similar to Gorf. Like Gorf, Wizard of Wor talks.
Wizard of Wor is a maze game where you, the Worrior , must try to survive in the Wizard's dungeon. Garwor, Burwor, and Thurwor move quickly through the maze trying to destroy you while the Wizard taunts you mercilessly.
  You control the Worrior, a valiant and intrepid explorer who finds himself in the Wizard's dungeon.
Burwor is the weakest and least intelligent of the Wizard's minions. He is the first enemy you encounter.
Garwor is the second enemy you encounter. He is faster and more deadly than Burwor.
