Phantasmagoria	Sierra On-Line (Sierra)	1995	This might be an obscure release. As you know, Bob, make distributors, stores, and other software outlets refused to deal with Phantasmagoria sometimes because of the subject matter (violence, gore, sex, rape) but mostly because of the perceived subject matter and the ardent insistence by most anyone except the creators, of this game marketed to adults, was in fact a ploy to corrupt young children (the "M" rating, the screenshots on the back of the box, definitely targeted at young children¡) . The PH1PATCH.SEA.HQX patch is required to corrects some (not all) of the Unimplemented Trap and System 11 lockup errors that occur when saving at the end of a chapter. The term [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantasmagoria]Phantasmagoria[/url] comes from a type of theater popular from the late 18th to 19th century. A kind of slideshow magic show, owners of pubs or coffee houses (generally not frequented by children) would use glass and mirrors to project macabre photographs or sculpture onto walls or even seemingly into mid air. Frequent observation by individuals with already questionable metal state could induce the mental condition known as phantasmagoria (remembering seeing while awake, a series of real or imagined macabre images as if in a dream state). One Phantasmagoria operator, and professional physicist, became so good at terrifying people as to convince even the stable-minded that the ghosts, devils, skeletons, and other fantastic terrors he displayed were real and his to command. He was arrested and sued on multiple occasions by patrons and public prosecutors, but especially by competitors. I guess things haven't changed that much.	Mac OS Classic

Harvester	Virgin;Merit Studios (DigiFX Interactive)	1996	The year is 1953. When Steve Mason awakens in the quiet North American town called Harvest, he cannot remember anything. People claim to know him and even to be related to him, but he does not recall their names. As he explores the strange town, he encounters more and more eccentric people, whose behavior is difficult to explain. Everyone keep telling him that he should join the Lodge, the headquarters of the mysterious Order of the Harvest Moon. Steve is determined to find out the truth about the town and about himself, but he doesn't know that this truth is more horrifying than he could have ever imagined... Harvester is essentially a point-and-click, puzzle-solving adventure game. Though a weapon-shaped icon allows the player to attack characters, this can only be done as a solution to a puzzle, in order to advance the game's plot at specific points. The largest bulk of the gameplay is dedicated to traditional adventure activities: talking to characters and manipulating inventory items to solve puzzles. "Hot spots" indicate interaction possibilities, as in most adventure games of that period. The game features video cut scenes with live actors; for gameplay portions, digitized animations of the actors are super-imposed over pre-rendered background graphics.* [84]*Welcome to Harvest: Population [s]51[/s] 50. With amnesia and a whole bunch of crazy people that don't make a lot of sense, you got to figure out what is going on. Welcome to the 1950s, 40 years before the make of this game. Confused, you must talk to everyone and find out what is going on. You cannot live in Harvest without becoming a Harvester!	MS-DOS

MTV: Club Dead	Viacom International	1994	This was the first in a short line of games endorsed by MTV. Undercover and fresh out of prison, you, Sam Frost, are hired by the corporate giant, Metacorp, to discover why the patrons of their "posh resort," the Alexandria, are being killed off. The game has a futuristic, cyberpunk feel to it as you negotiate the halls of the resort in a first-person slideshow style similar to that of Myst. Although unlike Myst, you have control of an extensive inventory.*** [22]	MS-DOS
Phantasmagoria	Sierra On-Line (Sierra)	1995	A writer named Adrienne Delaney has just moved into an old mansion with her photographer husband Donald. Shortly after moving in, Adrienne begins to experience horrifying nightmares and have odd encounters inside the creepy old abode. Furthermore, the house is having a severe effect on her husband, changing him for the worse. Adrienne must discover the secret of the house before the unknown force consumes her husband, and unravel the terrible events that have happened in the past. Phantasmagoria is an adventure game that places heavy emphasis on full motion video for exposition and cutscenes at various junctures to advance the storyline. Adrienne is represented as a digitized character roaming around pre-rendered settings in the house. She inspects various rooms, finds items, adds them to her inventory, finds places to use the items, and triggers advancements in the plot. Puzzle-solving element is present, though reduced compared to most other adventure games made by Sierra. There are seven chapters in the game, as well as a status screen that tracks the player's progress within the chapter. If the player happens to get stuck in the game, a talking skull icon who identifies himself as the hintkeeper can supply the player with hints on request. It is possible to start playing the game from any chapter.*** [22]	MS-DOS
Ripper	Take 2 Interactive	1996	Ripper is an interactive FMV adventure that is played out in the New York of 2040.

Stonekeep	Interplay (Interplay Productions)	1995	Latest version: 1.2 (as of ?)*[b]sorcery[/b] - requires a magic staff onto which you inscribe combinations of magic runes that produce various effects, modified by meta runes and so forth (in the tag's grey area) --- averted ambidextrous - has no significant gameplay effect. simply determines which mouse button activates it and which hand on the screen uses it. ergo, this is primarily a graphical gimmick. no way to swap handedness without dragging and dropping the tools between hands.The scan of the box art is flawed only because my scanner can't really scan the hologram on it (I'm not sure any scanner can). You can see this rainbowy thing behind and around the front skeleton and another skeleton in the rainbow, but in reality it should be silvery/chrome-white and the second skeleton barely visible.Immerse yourself in an epic experience more powerful and realistic than anything you've imagined. Using innovative new technology, Stonekeep draws you into its dark reaches so completely you'll forget it's just a game. Your feet will walk the ancient corridors. Your hands will wield weapons of metal and magic. You'll battle disembodied foes, rescue your allies from evil, liberate a massive dragon from bondage and discover an experience more realistic than anything you've ever imagined. Step into the mystery of Stonekeep and begin a quest through dark corridors, treacherous sewers and subterranean realms of faeries, magic and the living dead. You'll discover a world where darkness reigns and where you become part of a detailed story line that unfolds to your commands. Defeat evil, reclaim your immortal soul and experience the adventure that is Stonekeep. Concentrate on the experience, not the computer** * An epic production, Stonekeep is the result of nearly 30 man-years for a dedicated team of producers, designers, programmers, artists and other professionals. * Hollywood special effects, state-of-the art sound effects and music, expert scriptwriting and stunning live action cinematic sequences... Stonekeep is an experience like nothing you have ever seen. * 3-D rendered dungeons and creatures combine with live actors and amazing special effects to produce a game play environment of unparalled realism. * Full-Screen graphics let you truly feel the full intensity of your quest. Without distracting menus and icons, you can conctentrate on the experience, not the keyboard. * An intelligent Diary accompanies you in your travels, automatically mapping where you've been, the characters you've encountered and important clues you may have heard. * Includes the first chapter in the Stonekeep saga - Thera Awakening, a limited edition hardbound novella from Steve Jackson and David Pulver. [Box blurb]***The game came bundled with a small novella, Thera Awakening, coauthored by Steve Jackson and David Pulver.	MS-DOS

Alan Wake's American Nightmare	Remedy Entertainment	2012	Enfocándose más en la acción que el título original, y con una ambientación más Pulp que Thriller, aunque narrativamente sea algo más pobre es mucho más entretenido y jugable que la primera entrega.

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars	Electronic Arts (EA Los Angeles)	2007	CnC3 is probably the hardest strategy game I know, and not because the AI is that good, but because it cheats so much. Even on the so called easy difficulty the game is frustratingly hard to even barely win (later) missions. Besides that I still like it, especially the revised GDI and the all new Scrin faction. As a game I would not recommend this to anyone but the masochistic players or diehard Tiberium series fans.*Latest version: 1.09 (as of ?)March, 2047. A massive nuclear fireball explodes high in the night sky, marking the dramatic beginning to the Third Tiberium War and long-awaited return of the most groundbreaking Real-time Strategy franchise (RTS) of all time. The critically-acclaimed Command & Conquer (C&C) series returns with Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars (C&C 3). Setting the standard for the future of RTS gaming once more, C&C 3 takes you back to where it all began—the Tiberium Universe. In 2047, Tiberium has blanketed the Earth, which is now divided into zones based on the level of Tiberium infestation. Pristine Blue Zones represent 20% of the planet's surface and are the last refuge of the civilized world. Partially habitable Yellow Zones make up 50% of the planet's surface; most of the world's population lives in these war-torn and ecologically ravaged areas. The remaining 30% of the planet is uninhabitable, a Tiberium wasteland swept by violent Ion Storms. Red Zones are like the surface of an Alien planet. The infamous Kane has returned to lead the Brotherhood of Nod in a massive global assault on the Global Defense Initiative and the few remaining Blue zones left on the planet. Only you can stop him. The fate of humanity – and the planet – is in your hands. Featuring state-of-the-art, next-generation graphics, an epic story with live action, full-motion video sequences, and the classic fast-paced C&C style of play, C&C 3 sets the standard for the single player RTS experience. When you decide to test your skills online, a suite of truly innovative features, such as the ability to transform online battles into a spectator sport, unfold. Welcome back, Commander.

Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight	LucasArts	1997	[84]*Aunque apuntaba a ser mejor que el primer Dark Forces, con armamento variado, sable y poderes de la fuerza, y un control 3D completo, pierde todas sus virtudes por un diseño de niveles mediocre y unos enemigos predecibles y aburridísimos, ya por no hablar de los cortos y las dotes de interpretación de los actores. Y para rematar da fallos constantemente, tanto gráficos como de juego. Una pena, porque el multijugador deja claro lo entretenido que puede ser el juego con oponentes dignos. 4 de 10 [English WIP] While it aimed to be better than the first Dark Forces, with varied weaponry, lightsaber, force powers, and full 3D control, it loses all its virtues because of mediocre levels, predictable foes and boring design. Not to mention the shorts and the acting skills of the actors. And to top it gives failures constantly, both graphics and game. A pity, because the multiplayer makes it clear how entertaining the game can be with worthy opponents. 4 out of 10*2009-09-16 on Steam, by LucasArts (lang: eng)	Windows

Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle Of Flesh	Sierra On-Line	1996	Curtis Craig is a thirty-year-old man whose distorted childhood is filled with horrors. His father was involved in an illegal, top-secret experiment for a company called WynTech Industries. Nearly nothing is known about the true nature of this experiment; but something in it affected the sanity of Curtis' mother, eventually driving her to suicide. Curtis' father was later shot, leaving the poor little boy with serious behavioural disturbances, and eventually in therapy. Now, a year after having been released from the mental institution, Curtis is employed at WynTech Industries, whose manager, Paul Warner, has seemingly taken it upon himself to take care of Curtis. He tries to find the cause of his psychotic episodes and the mysterious murders that break out all around him, all the while discovering more and more about his past life and his father's fate. Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh is not an actual sequel to the original Phantasmagoria, but rather a follow-up that has similar themes and visual concept. The game is more heavy on puzzles and traditional adventure gameplay than its predecessor. The gameplay involves standard activities found in adventure games, including extended conversations with the characters featuring selectable dialogue topics, collecting and manipulating inventory items with the environment, etc. It is possible (and often necessary) to call characters on the phone, as well as check and answer e-mails accessed by Curtis' computer at his workplace. Like its predecessor, the game has a simple point-and-click interface and employs video sequences with live actors as cutscenes. Short movies are usually shown after each action performed by the protagonist.* [84]* [65]*** [58]	Windows
