| Aquaria | Humble Indie Bundle (Bit Blot) | 2010 | It's out, see the gameplay video.***[media=youtube]S7wPM-GX2Yg[/media]***[media=youtube]ZBHemKy81Ms[/media] [Zerothis]***[[youtube:iTRJVhrvwLg]] [Sanguine]***Originally Aquaria was not going to have Linux port, but Alec apparently flipped over and ported it in one night (only the sound engine really needed porting). The most difficult part of the porting is case sensitivity in the filesystem rather than any coding part, Mac and Windows ignore case when accessing files while Linux doesn't, making files that open quite well on Win/Mac result in file not found in Linux. They're working to convert all the files and their names in scripts/code to match, so the issues will probably go away after a bit. [s]The Linux release may be a bit iffy still.[/s] (The thread shown in the source link has most of the stuff related to Linux port. Just scan for posts by Alec.) Update: Released as part of the 2010 Humble Indie Bundle after which Aquaria was also open-sourced. [Sanguine] | Linux | labelimageminimize |
| Aquaria | Bit Blot | 2007 | A medio caballo entre el Ecco The Dolphin y un Metroidvania, este juego destaca por su atmósfera y por el buen diseño de los niveles, que te seducen para ser explorados. Imprescindible, de banda sonora sublime. 8 de 10***Latest version: 1.1.2 (as of ?)***2005. Project started 2007-12-07 by BitBlot (download; non-Steam version) 2008-12-15 by BitBlot through Steam (download; with Steam achievements added)***[[youtube:G40cXjcz-9c]]***Minimum: * 1.6 GHz CPU * 256 MB RAM * 200 MB free HD space***A beautiful, hand-crafted 2D adventure Lonely, restless Naija has spent her entire life wrestling with questions about her identity. We join her as she takes her first steps away from the comfort of home and into new, potentially dangerous waters. Through exploration and magical combat, Naija will unearth the history of Aquaria and connect with beings lost in the depths of time. On the search to discover the fate of her people, her destiny and that of Aquaria's will be forever altered. A massive, underwater fantasy world to explore Aquaria is an action-oriented, non-linear 2D side-scrolling game. Using an intuitive and fluid mouse control system, Naija can deftly swim through and explore a massive, handcrafted world that is teeming with undersea life. Along the way, she will encounter literally hundreds of different types of plants and animals and explore many ingame miles of hidden caves, lost ruins, and other strange places. As kids, we grew up playing the brilliant 2D action and roleplaying games of the time. With Aquaria, we've aimed to capture the excitement of those games in a new way, using updated technology, controls, and visuals. This is a game with a very personal touch, from the characters and story to the creature interaction and expansive environments. Seamless, non-linear gameplay In order to make the experience as engaging as possible, we created an interface that lets the player easily control Naija with just a two-button mouse. The HUD is minimal (restricted to only a minimap in the lower-right corner of the screen). In place of textual dialogue that most games rely on we used voice acting to drive the story without interrupting the gameplay. Through a realtime interface, Naija can sing songs and cast spells without going to a menu screen. With practice, these spells can be cast easily to interact with the environment, solve puzzles, or combine them for strategic effect during combat. Certain spells will allow you to change form, creating new ways of playing the game depending on the form chosen. [Bit Blot] | Windows | labelimagesubject |

| Jurassic Park | Sega (Blue Sky) | 1993 | [media=youtube]https://youtu.be/bXoRhmW4urk[/media]***The Sega Genesis game based on the Jurassic Park movie/book differs from the games made by Ocean for other platforms. Basically, Sega's Jurassic Park is a side-scrolling action game. You jump from platform to platform, pick up weapons and health items, and try to make it to the end of the level with all your lives intact. This version of Jurassic Park does feature an interesting twist, however. You can play it either as Dr. Grant, or as a Velociraptor. The story and level design changes based on which character you use.***While the game's plot differs greatly from the movie, it does share [i]some[/i] affinity with the book.*** [29]*** [27]*** [26]***[b]devouring[/b] - only as a raptor [b]charged jump[/b] - only as raptor, limited to vertical jumps and not really charging. player crouches before jumping to jump much higher than normal.***The game has two stories, one of which deviates completely from the story of the movie. You either play as Grant attempting to escape the island and survive the dinos, or as a raptor hunting Grant. | Mega Drive | labelimagesubject |

| Prototype | Activision (Radical Entertainment) | 2009 | Anyone experiencing crashes that can't be traced down to anything real should try playing the game by limiting it to 1 CPU core, on systems with 4 or more cores some may have luck with limiting it to less than half of the cores.your. ... Personally this occurred as spurious crashes (in nvd3dum.dll which supposedly indicates bad GPU driver) until it finally became rather consistent when trying to protect the bloodtox tank. The game is also one of the few games truly incompatible with 64 bit version of XP, so you're out of luck there (compatibility mode nor anything else will help you).***[spoiler=Show spoilers;Hide][b]Autopsy on fully clothed Alex[/b] : A Web of Intrigue video mentions that everything on Alex is actually part of his biomass, this also explains how he mimics people and their clothes repeatedly and discards them for his own form, and repeats this as often as he wants to. It also conveniently removes a nude scene and the source of his clothing during his escape. [b]People running around on the streets while the infection spreads (not escaping)[/b] : the island is in quarantine, though the seemingly oblivious behaviour of the pedestrians few blocks away is not explained by this, nor why they don't hide indoors. [b]Infection detectors not triggering for the soldiers themselves[/b] : presumably adjusted to ignore minor cases of infection, though apparently not mentioned anywhere. In truth, it's likely an oversight from the developers.[/spoiler]***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP or Vista * 1.86 GHz Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 X2 4000+ CPU * 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista) * 256 MB VRAM * 8 GB HD space Requires at least 800x600 resolution for the menu graphics to not be damnably blurry (though they're readable on lower).***US 2009-06-10 on DVD and Steam (lang: eng, fre, spa, ita) INT 2009-06-13 on Steam***Actual title seems to be [code][PROTOTYPE][/code], in all caps and with the square brackets.

| The I of the Dragon | Strategy First;Akella;TopWare Interactive (Primal Software) | 2002 | 2002-01-12 – Original Russian release 2004-03-10 – English release? by TopWare***[b]About widescreen support:[/b] The game unfortunately fails to start after you set a wide resolution, but you can get past this by deleting (or renaming) the Intro.avi in Data/Video/English/ folder or similar path in case of other languages.***The I of the Dragon is the unique Action-RPG where you control not just a puny magician or a stupid barbarian, but a dragon, a huge, powerful magical beast. It starts young and relatively weak, but it grows and learns as the game progresses. 12 huge levels (tens of square kilometers each) hold huge hordes of enemies - more than 40 kinds of evil monsters. You'll help humans to cleanse their land and restore peace, and they'll help you back with new magic spells and their fighting abilities. Advanced graphics engine created by Primal Software for this game allows us to show huge battles with tens of enemies and humans. Even beautiful special effects are not just eye candy - they drive the gameplay (for example, our terramorphing can change the landscape, raise mountains and fiery volcanoes or create huge ravines that monsters can not cross), change it (day and night cycle changes your fighting tactics), etc. Highlights: * A mystical land filled with magical creatures is your playground. And this time you are a not some puny magician, or a stupid barbarian. You are a Dragon! A power to be reckoned with... Fly with the wind. Protect the people, fight the monsters, set fire to forests, level entire mountain ranges! * Huge levels: each one has tens of square kilometers full of rolling hills, mountains, dense highly-polygonal forests, stones, buildings and other objects * Real-time terramorphing lets you level down whole mountain ranges and raise new ones instead. Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Craters - you call the shots * Time of the day with smooth real-time lightmap blending - watch magnificent sunsets and don't forget to look up at five thousands of stars visible during the night. Try to find some familiar constellations * Three dragons available, each with its own inherent abilities (fire, acid and ice based) and different set of stats which greatly increase replayability value. Make a "fighter"-type dragon, a "mage" or a "sniper" to suit your tastes - possibilities are endless * Of course, some different kinds of magic are there, so you won't be limited to throwing flame at monsters. Freeze them, tamper with their minds, summon familiars, heal friendly monsters that citizens tamed, learn to locate important objects or teleport to them directly - there are more than sixty spells with breathtaking special effects for each one [Primal Software] | Windows | labelimagesubject |
