| Super Win The Game | Minor Key Games;IndieBox (Minor Key Games) | 2014 | Zelda II, Metroid, and Super Mario without swords or any weapons, epic music, extra lives, boss battles, life meter, destroyable enemies, cutting edge 8-bit graphics, or magic. What does it add for the things it lacks? Optionally, it can be experienced in CRT mode. CRT mode is everything bad about playing on old style TVs. Fuzzy moire hexagonal screen pixels, color bleeding, curved screen distortion, invisible overscan and rounded off image corners, motion blur/phosphor burn, reflections on the CRT frame. Even rolling screen, RF interference, and static make an appearance. But it's nostalgic... I think this might well be the only Linux game that has "action safe" and "title safe" design (google it). CRT mode is also tunable to better match the old TV players used when they had no other choice. Personally, I found CRT mode to be worth 15 seconds of enjoyment, then I switched it off. But, that's just my personal preference. Turning off CRT mode does not result in 'modern' graphics. Without the CRT mode, this game is about gameplay only. It also ads some sort of quasi-bonus, playable dream segments. Same gameplay but confusing transdimensional level design and dialog I cannot make any sense of. The author admits that the dream segments are about something deeply personal. With that, I expect few would understand. This is OK, the dream segments don't require the player do do anything except progress through them and the author hasn't decided to leave the gaming industry or threaten to (like some others have after their deeply personal game designing when uninterpreted). All sorts of game mechanics make up the game. Double-jumping, wall clinging, wall jumping, invisible structures, switch-on platforms, etc... Each one needs to be earned. Each new ability opens more areas to explore and more places to discover when revisiting. And to make 100% completion, full expert use of each mechanic will be required. There are no map spoilers. The in-game mapping falls somewhere between Metroid and Super Metroid. There is no in-game map item to reveal areas you've missed. Get out your oldskol grid paper and start making checklists if you want to do a 100% completion of the game. Once again, this seems a deliberate feature to invoke nostalgia. Speedruns are also added to the mix. Complete with online leader boards. Finally, death is instant, likley frequet, but not costly. Everything kills the player without HP, shield, or mercy. The player cannot eliminate enemies at all, only earn better methods to avoid them. In contrast, pretty much every door is a retry point. In short, I you like(d) NES games, SWTG is for you. If you've never played NES games and are curious, SWTG is for you. | Linux | labelminimizeminimize |

| Titan Quest: Immortal Throne | THQ (Iron Lore Entertainment) | 2007 | Continues right from where Titan Quest left off, somewhat smoothly transitioning your victory scene on Olympus into a troubled Rhodes island. An improvement over the base Titan Quest in that the various quests are more varied, no longer endless permutations of "kill this" even though that's still quite common. Most notably however the boss monsters are much more interesting and perhaps the best part of the whole game.***[b]req-swapfile[/b] - can be disabled by adding line [code]`skipCompatibilityChecks = true´[/code] to file [code]`Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne\Settings\Options.txt´[/code]. | Windows | labelimageminimize |

It also makes you wonder what strike of genius did the Mook have when they decided You were good choice as bodyguards.***A New Wizardry for a New Generation Wizardry 8 raises the standard for fantasy role-playing with a vengeance. Prepare yourself for a new level of excitement, immersiveness, and depth that made role-playing games one of the best-selling, best loved genres of all time. This is the legacy of Wizardry 8. Acllaimed critics agree! * Explore a vast 3D world filled with action, magic, and adventure. Wander through dark dungeons, lush landscapes, scorrching volcanoes, and even beneath the sea. * Create your own custom party of adventurers. Make a gnome gadgeteer, a lizardman figher, a rawulf lord, or even a faerie ninja. The possibilities are endless! * Choose a custom personality for each character and hear them speak over 100 lines of dialogue. Kindly or chaotic, burly or surly - how your characters act is up to you. * Talk to dozens of intelligent characters. How you treat them determines whether they become powerful allies or deadly enemies. * Battle over 300 types of monsters in some of the most intense combat ever seen in a RPG. The unique auto-targeting system makes combat easy to learn, while the huge number of strategies adds unprecedented depth. * Advanced creature A.I. brings a new level of realism to RPGs. You don't just hunt the monsters - the roaming monsters hunt you. * Cast over 100 spells using a unique power-level system that guarantees that no spell ever becomes obsolete. [Box blurb]***Wizardry 8 is an epic fantasy RPG that picks up where [[gameid:42564 Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant]] left off. You may recall that all hell had broken loose at the end of Wizardry 7. The Dark Savant had taken flight with a device called the Astral Dominae, an incredibly powerful artifact containing the secret of life itself. Following him are two powerful races, the T'Rang and the Umpani, as well as your own brave party of adventurers. Everyone is headed to Dominus, a world on the cusp of the Cosmic Circle, birthplace of the Astral Dominae and home of the Cosmic Lords. Many paths will converge on Dominus, and many long-hidden secrets will be revealed. [Sir-Tech] | Windows | labelimagesubject |
