Magi	Wuwik	?	Magi is a cross between RTS and RPG, yet it is very different from other games of that genres, actually it's a genre of its own. In Magi the player creates a wizard (choosing from various available classes, attributes and styles) and immerses in series of magical duels in a never-ending pursuit for the power and immortality. Magical spells and projectiles, summoning mythical creatures and calling spirits to curse the opponent are common ways to victory in Magi. As the game progresses, the mage grows in age and is bound to meet his final opponent - the Death herself. Will he be prepared for the final showdown? Magi has a quick, intensive and easy-to-learn strategic gameplay. Duels are relatively short and very dynamic. The game offers many different tactics and characters to try. Wide variety of spells and special abilities can be used, each having its own advantages and special properties. Player is also able to further develop his wizard with the experience he gets from dueling. It allows for even better customisation of the character and the strategy. The difficulty and AI quality of the opponents adjusts dynamically to the gamer's actual skills, making the game challenging for the competitive players while it also can be simple and relaxing for the more casual ones. The game features: * 10 playable professions - each with different set of special skills. * Over 50 different spells and abilities. Each balanced and designed to be as useful as others. * Challenging AI-controlled opponents. * Difficulty that adjusts to the skill and progress of the player. * Particle effects making for a great visualisation of the magical spells. * Epic music by Rob Westwood. * Short and intensive battles. Perfect for those free 15 minutes. * Balanced and challenging gameplay. Many different strategies to try - each has its advantages. [Wuwik]	Windows

Alien Logic	Musicbank	1995	You are on the world of Jorune, a colony whose communications with Earth has been cut off for 3500 years. The residents of your village have been taken by the evil Red Shantha, and you alone have survived with the help of another Shantha and some serendipitous, if not exactly appealing, events. During the course of this game, you will attempt to increase your use of Isho (magic), gain knowledge of Warpworld, discover the location of the Red Shantha, defeat him and rescue your fellow villagers. In addition to your main quest, there are also several mini quests to complete. While the game is somewhat non-linear, and the completion of all quests are not required to achieve your final goal, the fulfillment of these quests usually improves your abilities or gives you access to something you need. As the game opens, you are in the Mountain Crown of Tan-Iricid, home of alien creatures known as the Thriddle. You are given some information, allowed to ask some questions, and sent on your way to the large human settlement of Ardoth to begin your adventure. Once in Ardoth, you'll visit all the places in town, equip yourself with a laser cutting kit, then set out to explore: searching for Shanthic Ruins, crystals, limilates (plants with special properties), and (of course) monsters. Along the way, you'll have the chance to increase your power, skills, and knowledge so that you will be able to rescue the townspeople. As part of your journeys, you will discover floating islands in the clouds, known as skyrealms, explore the depths of ancient ruins where no human has ever been, discover plots that threaten the realm, and learn enthralling histories of the various races. It is a fascinating journey. Note: Visit the Thriddle often, they will give you locations of Shanthic sites and guide (railroad?) you on some of the quests.	Windows
Nebula Fighter	One Reality;eGames (Holodream Software)	1997	Some game concepts are timeless. No matter how many titles in that genre are released, there is a core group of die-hard fans who eagerly play each and every one, tirelessly devoting time, energy, and hard-earned dollars to their favorite form of entertainment. It is true of 3D action games, real-time strategy games, adventure games, and even the lowly side-scrolling space shooters. Holodream is ready to release one of the latter, a side-scroller in the grand tradition called Nebula Fighter, only they are taking the aging concept and injecting it with an overdose of adrenaline to create one of the most blisteringly hot shooters ever to blast its way to the PC. Like most new action games, Nebula Fighter proudly presents a background story to set the stage for the carnage. At some point during the late 20th century, the world is taken over by a power-hungry terrorist organization. Soon after, Earth is contacted by an alien race called the Venishians, who unwittingly become the target of the greedy new government. By capturing and analyzing one of the alien ships, scientists are able to construct a fleet of fighters capable of attacking the celestial visitors on their home planet. The player is responsible for breaking through the alien defenses and alerting earth to commence the attack, yada, yada, yada.... Does anyone really pay attention to the story while blasting aliens into space debris? I doubt it, but it's there for the literary inclined just the same. What really matters is the gameplay. Nebula Fighter quickly places the player in familiar territory. Starting at the first level, the ship is equipped with a basic array of weapons. There is no buying and selling of equipment; instead, the game automatically upgrades your ship as you destroy the bosses at the end of each level and grab their defenses. This builds an incredibly destructive arsenal that can fool the player into thinking he or she is indestructible. Nebula Fighter, however, pulls some surprising tricks that make the game challenging and fun. Some weapons are more effective against certain enemies than others, and players must think and react quickly or they'll be looking at a brilliant, pre-rendered explosion where their ship was moments before. The AI, though, is killer. It's as if a human opponent is controlling the enemies and bosses, and planning and executing advanced attack strategies. One moment, you are blazing through the level, blasting away at poor fools attacking from the other side of the screen, and the next you are under attack from a group of enemy ships that has just emerged from an innocent looking asteroid. The group works together as a single military unit and expertly neutralizes your threat to their forces before you are able to counter with the appropriate defense. Hello again, brilliant, pre-rendered explosion. There are, of course, the standard ways and means of shoring up one's offensive and defensive power. Players will need to collect power modules, add-on weapons, nukes, and bonus items left behind by obliterated enemies to increase the ship's arsenal and shields, and to receive extra ships and bonus points. The add-on weapons include energy bolts, homing missiles, side-mounted missiles, and a rear-mounted pulse cannon. The real stars of the show, however, are the weapons left behind by demolished bosses; they provide some of the most visually dazzling effects and satisfying slaughter ever accomplished in a game of this type. Each level adds new challenges and cool effects. Nebula Fighter is the first game of its type to have all game graphics rendered and animated in 3D. The asteroid fields are surprisingly realistic and deadly. The game also features digitized backgrounds with multiple layers of parallax scrolling (including foreground objects), flying above and below the traditional playfield, animated backdrop layers, digitized audio effects, 256 frames of animation for most enemies, and some truly impressive and jaw-dropping bosses. Imagine battling an alien ship armed with extensive computer-assisted military hardware and advanced attack procedures, and you'll have an idea of what facing these technological behemoths is like. There simply isn't time to blink! Careful attention has been paid as well to constructing challenging levels that should awaken the most jaded gamers and have them playing on the edge of their seats. This game has the potential to re-define its genere. It's highly addictive, immersive, and challenging, and features pulse-pounding action and spectacular graphics. Nebula Fighter is a must-have for any shooter fan Features: Extensive play time with 21 levels of gameplay Two-player co-operative mode 3D rendered and animated graphics Advanced AI Click here for more screenshots - Windows 95/98 only (DirectX 6 required / enclosed) - Pentium 133 with 16Mb of Ram required - Pentium 233 with 32Mb of Ram recommended	Windows

Unreal	GT Interactive;Infogrames (Epic MegaGames;Digital Extremes)	1998	MSRP: $54.95 (U.S.)* [53]1998-04-30 original release as reported by Epic Games, published by GT Interactive. Validity uncertain despite the source. 1998-05-22 as reported on the official site at the time of release. 1999 Unreal Gold - re-release that bundled Return to Na Pali. 2000-09-22 - re-release by Infogrames 2001 another re-release by InfogramesAlthough Unreal was great back in the days it first came out, it hasn't fared well against the ravages of time. It's difficult to get running on modern Windows operating systems (with hardware 3D acceleration, software rendering works fine) and when you do, it's a terrible realization that it doesn't look as great as you remember. Something 3D games are perhaps only now managing to accomplish (if even now), a level of detail that can survive for ages like 2D graphics reached long ago. The difficulty setting is a bit curious as it adjusts the dodge-firing ratio, so the easiest difficulty may actually be the hardest since the enemies dodge a _lot_, while at hardest they practically just stand there and shoot at you a never ending stream of bullets/rockets/whatever. So, if you're poor shot, go for harder difficulties, if you're poor dodger, go for easy. The normal difficulty and those near it balance it out so it may be harder or easier depending on your skill and playstyle.*Great FP-Shooter, network-playing, Missiondisc available	Windows

Messiah	Interplay;SoldOut Software (Shiny Entertainment)	1999	Names of interest: * Bob (the protagonist; diapered litttle angel/cherub) * Prime Father (the antagonist)*[b]posthumans[/b] - the Chots (devolved rather) [b]cannibalism[/b] - it is said the Chots eat their own. (Unverified if this is actually seen or if the player can perform this when possessing one of them.) --- notes religion-christian --- the most I can gather from this game is that there's a single god who sends out Bob the cherub down to Earth to fix things because satan or some other evil devil/demon is messing things up. This seems to be more as punishment for Bob than actually to save Earth. The focus of the game is humor, however, so the religious content may be only superficial.Sex, Religion, Possession, Death Bob is the scum of the Heavens, an angel in name only. He's been asked by the `Big Man´ Himself to rub out those "Screw Ups down on Earth". He has the power to possess anyone and use sinners to slay sinners. He can enter over 40 characters and control them to mutilate, sneak, impale, charm and creatively wipe out other vermin, but it takes cunning to decide who to possess... As Bob, you can possess and control any of the over 40 characters, including: Prostitutes, cops, behemoths, priests, bouncers, sub girls, bondage dancers, gigolos, demons, chots, welders, nuclear workers, medics, bartenders, dwarves, pimps, monsters, animals and much more! * Over 10 different weapons, including: rocket propelled harpoons, needle guns, rocket launchers, flame throwers, grenades, stun guns. * Use enemies as weapons. * All characters have real skin covering their bones, resulting in skin that jiggles and stretches in all the right places.

A powerfully productive military/industrial complex, S1-9 spews mysterious and lethal pollutants into the surrounding countryside, creating a flood plain miles deep in stagnant toxic waste. The [b]Guardians[/b], descendants of an ancient clan of warrior priests known for their strength of mind and body, have sworn to destroy the unholy Megacity S1-9 and bring down the tyrannical SovKhan. Banished now to "the suck," the complex of sewage utility conduits, the Guardians have constructed a hidden installation that could provide a new base of attacks. But the fearless Guardians are no match for the SovKhan's evolving army of inhuman sentinels and giant, destructive slaves. The war machines are "grown" from a combination of cybernetic embryos, metal exoskeletons, and the mysterious neutronium (NTR95879) growth compound, [b]Dark Matter[/b]. In twelve hours, the embryonic cyberslaves will complete their gestation cycles and emerge from the tanks combat ready -- thanks to the work of the mysterious Dark Matter.

Most human minds are too weak to control a Slave, but the rigorous training practiced by the Guardians might prove the exception.

Ultima IX: Ascension	Origin;Electronic Arts (Origin)	1999	Ultima IX is best enjoyed following a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuralyzer#In_the_comic_books]neurolyser flash[/url] to forget the existance of every other game in the Ultima series (except maybe the Runes sub-series). And a second neurolyser flash afterwards to forget the bugs.*The tag note now claims this is conclusion to the UW series, but isn't this rather a conclusion to the Age of Armageddon sub-series? In all regards this seems unrelated to UW.The Dragon Edition was a collectors pack containing the 2 Game CDs plus The [game=Ultima Collection]Ultima Collection[/game] CD (the 1st 8 Ultimas), 8 virtue cards, an Ankh pendant, an Ascension poster, a cloth map, a leather Game Journal, a leather Book of Magic (animals were sacrificed for this entertainment), a certification from Lord British, and an Ultima Collection reference card. Believe it or not, this is intended to be the finale of the Ultima series. Officially, the 3rd game of the Age of Armageddon trilogy which is the 3rd age, and the 3rd game of Ultima Underworld series. Fans who have been paying close attention would have noted some requirements in prophecy doled out in the previous games. Players will not find the vast majority of these prophecies fulfilled in this game. It is not a spoiler to say ascendancy occurs, the game makes it obvious in title, box art, and in-game, from the very beginning. The Ultima universe is a different one from ours where the protagonist is from Earth. The protagonist, sort of, fulfills his roles in this game that were set when Lord British chose him in Ultima IV to become the Avatar. It is blatently shown that [spoiler=including;including]the Guarding[/spoiler] is indestructible which had been alluded to in the earlier games. Pirates play an important role in the main plot and several side-quests and plots. But, officially, it is set in the Ultima universe and ends the Age of Armageddon. The setting is consistent with a late medieval-theme. Cannons, machines, weapons, ship technology and the artwork in the game place it on the cusp of a Renaissance-theme; but does not quite qualify. Archery of a sort occurs. This game was originally designed for Voodoo Graphics/3Dfx cards, which utilized the Glide3D API. The released game also contained various options to use DirectX technologies. The Direct3D option was barely passable. Official patches brought the requirement of DirectX 6. An unofficial patch from members of the development team require DirectX 7. There are people being held prisoner,[spoiler=including;including]the Avatar[/spoiler]at one point. The ever present Rule Britannia music accompanies Lord British's castle. Widescreen is not officially supported but the config file allows the horizontal and vertical resolution to be manually specified. So if the provided numbers match a resolution supported by your card and monitor, it works. Although to wide an aspect will cause controls for inventory and books to be off-screen. It supports vertical screen in this way also. It does not support alternate projections (anamorphic), so if your monitor projects the given mode anamorphicly, the image will be distorted the same. [Zerothis]**The last of the legendary Ultima series in 3D! Unfortunately, it was plagued with bugs, rendering it almost unplayable. [cjlee001]	Windows

Soldier of Fortune	Activision (Raven Software)	2000	Enter the world of a soldier-for-hire. You're the world's deadliest soldier of fortune and your mission is clear: survive. Track your prey across the globe in a series of secret missions to take down a fanatical terrorist organization before it takes you down. Maintain your cover as a covert warrior in a startling variety of explosive missions ranging from underhanded sabotage to stealthy assassination to full frontal assaults where skill marks the difference between the hunter and the hunted. Tear your way past enemy lines utilizing the world's most lethal weaponry, including a sniper rifle, white phosphorous grenades, and prototype microwave pulse guns. Real bullets do real damage: shoot someone in the leg and he falls, writhing and grasping his wound; shoot someone in the head and he falls down dead. Based on the popular magazine of the same name, Soldier of Fortune delivers the most realistic, covert-operative themed shooter experience ever created.

Deus Ex	Eidos Interactive (Ion Storm)	2000	2007-03-29 on Steam; GOTY edition (lang: eng)**This GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION of the smash hit Deus Ex features an all-new multiplayer mode and a new head-to-head deathmatch mode. Also included is a software development kit, so you'll be able to create both single and multiplayer missions from scratch, as well as modify existing ones. The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Terrorists operate openly - killing thousands; drugs, disease and pollution kill even more. The world's economies are close to collapse and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor grows ever wider. Worst of all, an ages old conspiracy bent on world domination has decided that the time is right to emerge from the shadows and take control. No one believes they exist. No one but you. Real role-playing from an immersive 3D, first-person perspective. The game includes action, character interaction and problem solving. * Realistic, recognizable locations. Many of the locations are built from actual blueprints of real places set in a near future scenario. * A game filled with people rather than monsters. This creates empathy with the game characters and enhances the realism of the game world. * Rich character development systems: Skills, augmentations, weapon and item selections and multiple solutions to problems ensure that no two players will end the game with similar characters. * Multiple solutions to problems and character development choices ensure a varied game experience. Talk, fight or use skills to get past obstacles as the game adapts itself to your style of play. * Strong storyline: Built on "real" conspiracy theories, current events and expected advancements in technology. If it's in the game, someone, somewhere believes it. [Valve - GOTY edition]*If there's a thing that doesn't make sense, then it's the early sound cutoff bug this game has on my system. After trying solutions that work in every other game, I found on a forum that switching to sw rendering and back to D3D fixes it temporarily, and it did, even OpenGL rendering didn't have it. But both of those had some other issues I didn't want so I kept looking. Until I switched off vsync, and behold, sound clipping is [i]gone[/i]. Fine and dandy with me, except it doesn't make slightest bit of [u]sense[/u]. Video card setting that releases the framerate synchronization with screen refresh and allows the game to render more frames [i]somehow[/i] allows the game to play the voice overs to the end. Other people have had similar issues with the game and all with different solutions, but those other solutions actually made sense.Latest version: 1.112fm (as of 2001-04-28?), 1.4 for French The 1.014f patch is the last that affected single-player.*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 95 or 98 * 300 Mhz Pentium II CPU * 64 MB RAM * 4X CD-ROM Drive * 150 MB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Athlon or Pentium III CPU * 128 MB RAM * 16 MB VRAM * 8X CD-ROM Drive * 750 MB HD space * EAX or A3D compliant audio card	Windows
