Aggression: Europe 1914	Buka Entertainment;Playlogic (Lesta Studio)	2007	RU 2008-?? by Buga Int 2008-?? by Playlogic ("excluding CIS and Baltic states where it's published by Buka" -[url=http://www.buka.com/int_sales.news_archive.7754.aspx]ref[/url])***"Aggression" is a real time strategy game with role-playing elements, in which the player may take the role of the leader of one of the four nations: Russia, Great Britain, France or Germany, and take active part in the critical point events of European history – the age of Total Wars 1914-1945. Gameplay of Aggression is built on two levels – strategic and tactical. At the strategic level, the player governs the chosen country, mobilizes armed forces, moves armies and historical figures. When war breaks out, the player plans the course of attacks and organizes defenses; when the two sides meet in battle, the player is transported to a tactical map where he takes control of the army involved in the encounter, as he would in a classical RTS game. The alternative course of historic events is an important gameplay element: for example, the player can create a Communist or a Nazi government in Great Britain, or, when playing as Russians, unite with Germany against the west. The objective of the game is to capture all the cities on the strategic map or be the first to develop atomic weapons (historically, it is the atomic bomb that put an end to the age of Total Wars). As soon as any other country, besides the player, develops the bomb, this signals the beginning of cold war and ends the game. The distinctive trait of the gameplay process of "Aggression" is that the player gets to make all the decisions when running a country. The player has access to politics, economics, technologies, army maneuvers and really feels like a leader of a nation. Despite all the possibilities, running a nation in Aggression remains simple and easy to learn – most controls have flexible settings, which allow the player to set their own level of control on any parameters, or to set up an automatic mode. Main Features of the Game • Historical strategy game in a time period of 1910-1950. • Completely 3D graphics in tactical and strategic mode, detailed map of Europe. • Total freedom of player's choices in strategy of own nation, capability to make an alternative history of Europe. • Four playable nations: Russia, Great Britain, Germany, France. • Historical campaigns for each key nation, during which the player may fulfill several hundred quests and experience the entire age of Total Wars, participate in both World Wars. • 3D strategic map of Europe, with dozens of active historical figures. • More than 150 types of combat units (infantry, cavalry, artillery, tanks and armored vehicles, aviation), modeled accurately from historical references. • Political, economic and combat systems, which realistically convey the peculiarities of European politics and wars in 20th century. • More than 200 real historical figures: politicians, generals, public figures who lived and made a difference in this time period. • Large scale battles on 92 tactical maps, all in 3D. • Battles at sea, land and air, battle planning, development of new arms and technologies (from a machine gun to the atomic bomb), political alliances and espionage. • State of the art level of graphics, realistic physics, a wide choice of special effects, which create a unique, cinematic gameplay experience.

Alone in the Dark	Infogrames;Interplay (I-Motion Interactive)	1992	[media=youtube]9lWaQe8LPW0[/media]***A suspicious suicide. A chilling curse. A malevolent power. And a wicked dark secret. This is Derceto, legendary Louisiana mansion - where, against your better judgement, you're drawn into a world of shadows to explore the darker side of Jeremy Hartwood's imagination. Despite a paralyzing sense of personal danger, your quest for truth drives you to investigate the old house. But, you didn't know that by entering Derceto, you'd be plunged into the daily nightmare that was Jeremy Hartwood's life. You weren't prepared for the torturous howls that resound from deep within its halls. You didn't foresee the shadowy corridors that seemingly have no end. You couldn't anticipate the brooding, gloom-filled rooms, the pervasive weight of dread, the heavy sense of evil that fills the atmosphere and the ver house itself. Had you known, you might have refused your task. But alas, you accepted, and now you must make your way through this spine-tingling adventure alone ... and in the dark. [Box blurb]	MS-DOS

Alone in the Dark 2	Infogrames (Interplay)	1993	Alone in the Dark 2 you take the role of Edward Carnby, one of the two main characters in the original Alone in the Dark. After his overnight ordeal in the haunted mansion of Derceto and his defeat of the undead Cthulian sorceror Pregzt, Carnby has gained something of a reputation as "the supernatural detective" (sounds a lot better than "the reptile", his original nick). Carnby is soon called upon to investigate a bootlegger named One Eyed Jack after an old detective college name Stryker attributes Jack to the kidnapping of young Grace Saunders. Stryker attempts to infiltrate Jack's dilapidated mansion of Hell's Kitchen and rescue the girl, only to disappear himself. That's where Carnby comes in. Carnby soon learns that Jack and his gansters are really 15th century pirates who gained immortality after Jack joined forces with Elizabeth Jarret, a Voodoo witch. However the dark magic which keeps them immortal also requires Jack and his crew to regularly make human sacrifices (which explains Grace's kidnapping). Carnby must battle his way through Hell's Kitchen and Jack's army of tommygun wielding gansters, searching for a way to break the spell and make them stay dead.*Original floppy version [22]* [59]* [37]*[media=youtube]gkHXD531Ut8[/media]	MS-DOS

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth	Bethesda Softworks;Ubisoft Entertainment (Headfirst Productions)	2006	INT 2009-06-16 on Steam, by Bethesda Softworks (lang: eng, fre, ger)*The game is initially very much like survival horror, but "degenerates" sometime in the midpoint of the game to stealth FPS and later to plain FPS (although only because the enemies no longer have firearms and you don't have to watch out for them shooting at you anymore, the character is extremely frail [compared to other FPS games] and wouldn't survive such). [spoiler]There may be some confusion on the true nature of the protagonist. But, if one bothers to understand the mythos, we can see that the Yith only swapped bodies with him. Explaining the sequence where he was in an alien body for a time, and the amnesiac time of his past. His consciousness had been swapped by the Yith, leaving his consciousness in the "original" body of the Yith who had taken over his. Some have proposed that the protagonist himself is Yith but this ignores how the Yith work (they swap minds across time and space, usually for purposes of study). The Yith either wiped his memory or the experience was too traumatic that caused the initial amnesia. As an additional note, the physical form of the Yith is actually not their original, simply what species they had taken over in force (supposedly not all can house their minds for prolonged periods of time).[/spoiler]Call of Cthulhu -- Dark Corners of the Earth is a first-person horror game that combines intense action and adventure elements. You will draw upon your skills in exploration, investigation, and combat while faced with the seemingly impossible task of battling evil incarnate. Other than fighting, you have the ability to interact freely with characters and the gaming environment. To increase the sense of immersion, there is no interface or 'HUD' on screen at any time during normal gameplay. Instead, more intuitive methods are available for you to assess your condition, ammunition levels, and other relevant information. The combat within the game is extremely realistic, with a detailed damage and healing system that breaks down the healing process into conditions and treatments - rather than having the typical FPS 'health packs' lying around everywhere. The game also allows you to stamp your own style onto the proceedings via an advanced AI system that can react to your method of play. Cthulhu enemies can roam freely around the environment - opening doors and tracking you down single-handedly or in groups. To stay alive you won't just be able to outshoot them, you'll need to outthink them as well. You will have to keep your mental health in check as you are exposed to the increasingly shocking images of the Cthulhu Mythos. You will need to combat enemies using the environment, powerful and evil artifacts, Alien technology, or by fighting with weapons that are completely authentic for the period. Set during the 1920s, Call of Cthulhu is based on the Cthulhu Mythos of HP Lovecraft, an American writer of fantasy and horror. Lovecraft's stories tell of unthinkable evil, psychic possession, and mythical worlds and his work has profoundly influenced numerous fantasy and science fiction writers, including Stephen King and Anne Rice. The technology powering Call of Cthulhu has provided Headfirst with the means to present an incredibly detailed and accurate depiction of the sights and sounds of this unique 1920's New England setting. A diverse range of cutting edge special effects is utilized to ensure both unprecedented levels of realism and an exact portrayal of your mental degredation. Key Features: Diverse array of levels from quaint towns to alien locations, including Deep One City * Dynamic Sanity system resulting in hallucinations, panic attacks, vertigo, paranoia, and more! * Incredibly detailed real-time graphics with atmospheric lighting and dynamic shadows * Intelligent gameplay involving puzzle solving as well as combat and exploration * 1920s weaponry and vehicles as well as evil artifacts and alien technology * Lovecraft's famous monsters and locations [Bethesda]	Windows

Capone	Actionware	1988	This is the first light-gun game for the Commodore Amiga. The action takes place in the Capone era of 1920s Chicago. The player is a lone gunman battling Capone’s men down the streets and alleys of the city. The game plays much like Operation Wolf. As the game progresses, the screen scrolls sideways and evil gangsters pop up from behind windows and buildings. The player must take care not to hit innocent bystanders, including women, children, and pets strolling down the street. There are also two indoor scenes, including a warehouse filled with TNT and the finale that takes place inside a bank. Capone was released in the early years of the Amiga, and had a very unique look for its time. Although the major selling point of Capone was it was the first light-gun game available for the Amiga, players could also play entirely with a mouse. During mouse play, a cross-hair cursor appears on screen. Firing is accomplished simply by hitting the mouse button, or trigger on the light-gun.* [2]* [17]* [21]* [76]* [22]* [52]* [47]*Compatible with Actionware Phaser Gun.	Amiga
