| Cortex Command | Data Realms | 2012 | Was only available as part of the 2011 Humble Indie Bundle?***In the world of Cortex Command, many humans have opted to amputate their entire natural bodies in order to prolong their lives and enable interstellar space travel. Their disembodied brains are hardly helpless, however, as they can remotely control all kinds of machines and craft through artificial interfaces. Playing as one of these people's brains, you can quickly switch control between many different expendable bodies in order to complete otherwise dangerous tasks - all from the physical safety of your command bunker. Use these technological powers of telepathy to collect gold out of the fully destructible terrain, then purchase even more bodies and materiel with those newly acquired funds! You can even program the crude A.I.s of your puppet army to complete simple tasks (patrolling, digging, etc.) while your attention and direct control is somewhere else. Use your accumulated forces to protect your brain, explore the world, and defeat your competition! Story Summary ---------------------------------------- Cortex Command is set a few hundred years into the future, where the now cybernetic human race is able to travel between stars and has already met several alien civilizations. Interstellar trade and prosperity reigns, but there is always an ever-expanding frontier to explore and exploit for precious resources. In this gold rush of galactic proportions, fantastic adventure and brutal competition awaits. You play as the boss of a small gold mining company that has just arrived at a newly discovered Earth-like planet. The large space ship that brought you here along with many other adventurers is called a TradeStar. It acts as a massive orbital safe haven and marketplace for the fortune seekers who venture down onto the planet's surface. Your purchases of bodies, guns, and equipment are sent from the TradeStar orbiting above and delivered to you by your choice of landing craft. However, it soon becomes clear that the planet isn't as pristine as initially thought, and you will have to quickly adapt from your humble beginnings in order to survive and ultimately discover the dangerous secrets of this alien world... Key Features ---------------------------------------- Fully destructible environments - The gold you need to excavate is sprinkled throughout the terrain of each scene. Use special digging tools to blast your way into the dirt and debris. All the pieces of bodies and ships from your struggles will fall to the ground and permanently add to the battlefield. Get more powerful (and expensive) diggers and you can even tunnel into your enemies' bunkers from below! In-game buying menu - At any time and place during the game, bring up a powerful menu to order new bodies and equipment, all delivered at the location and by the transport ship of your choosing. Rockets are cheaper but unreliable and harder to land. Drop ships are far more expensive but can quickly deploy entire groups of puppets onto difficult terrain. Ships and equipment returned to the TradeStar are refunded to your account. Build your own bunker - At the start of most missions, you are able to take your time and build your own command bunker from scratch. Easily design twisting tunnels and place doors, traps, and turrets to thwart your enemies' intrusions! Pre-deploy and equip bodies in and around your installation to prepare yourself for your objectives. Don't spend too much though, or you won't have enough funds left when the mission starts! Four-player cooperative and/or versus multiplayer - Gather your friends and plug in those game controllers! Play skirmish or campaign missions with or against up to three of your buddies. 2 vs 2, 1 vs. 3, 4 vs. the CPU - it's up to you! (rhyme intended). Flexible control settings allow you to use the keyboard, keyboard + mouse, or any generic game controller you can find and plug in. Built-in editors and modding - Several in-game editors allow you to easily create your own stuff. The game's engine is built to make it very simple to modify and add your own content. Design your own missions, guys, ships, weapons, tools, bombs, and shields - and easily share them with your friends. Join and download some fantastic mods from the community at the Data Realms Fan Forums. | Linux | labelimagesubject |
| Gothic 3 | JoWooD Productions;Deep Silver;Aspyr Media (Piranha Bytes) | 2006 | Also published by Game Factory Interactive (GFI) in Russia.***THE STORY Players saved their home island Khorinis from the forces of evil in [[gameid:47040 Gothic]] and [[gameid:102172 Gothic 2]]. Now it is time to travel to the realms of the mainland, where invading Orcs have enslaved the human kingdom. There are only a few free humans living in the nearly uninhabitable icy northlands of Nordmar and in the southern desert of Varrant, and a handful of rebels hiding in the mountainous forests of the Middle Realm. Players can choose to join the rebellion and stay true to the deposed human king, serve the Orcish usurpers in their quest to topple the last remaining human stronghold, or choose a path that serves their own ends. Every decision made will have an impact on the game world and tip the balance of power. There is no simple linear story in Gothic 3 - every game will be different and unique, with the player ultimately deciding the fate of humankind. FEATURES * Huge free-roaming, hand-crafted world with no loading times once you are in the game * All new combat system that allows unprecedented control over melee attacks * Clear, non-linear objectives within the main story allow the player to influence the outcome of the narrative * Living world where the player's interactions with characters have a dramatic impact on gameplay * Engrossing storyline driven by the player's choices * Countless side-quests for the player to explore * More than 50 different monsters and dozens of human enemies * A host of powerful spells and a huge variety of weapons * Advanced and complex human behavior AI for hundreds of individual characters, all featuring high quality audio dialogues * Unique class-free character development -- the absence of rigid character classes means players can choose to train their character with a wide variety of military and magical powers * Soundtrack by the Bochum Symphony Orchestra, a world class orchestra from Bochum, Germany [Aspyr] | Windows | labelimagesubject |

| Pokémon Blue Version | Nintendo;Game Freak (Game Freak) | 1996 | You've finally been granted your Pokémon trainer's license. Now, it's time to head out to become the world's greatest Pokémon trainer. It's going to take all you've got to collect 150 Pokémon in this enormous world. Catch and train monsters like the shockingly-cute Pikachu. Face off against Blastoise's torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing Pidgeot's stormy Gust. Trade with friends and watch your Pokémon evolve. Important - no single Pokémon can win it all. Can you develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight GYM Leaders and become the greatest Pokémon Master of all time? * Collect up to 139 different Pokémon playing the Red version. Using the Game Link cable (sold separately), trade with a friend who has the Blue version to capture all 150. * You'll need to use both versions (Red and Blue) to collect all of the Pokémon. * Test your training skills by battling against a friend using the Game Link cable (sold separately). * Save your Pokémon collection and game progress on the Game Pak memory. * Requires basic reading skills to fully enjoy the entertaining story.***Become the greatest Pokémon trainer in the world! Start your Pokémon Game Boy adventure by choosing a tame Pokémon at the home of the great Pokémon master Professor Oak. Then start your journey. Your mission: Collect all 150 Pokémon, just like Ash, using your own Pokémon to capture others. Along the way, several skilled trainers, such as Gary, and many minor trainers will challenge you to Pokémon duels. You can't back down, so be ready for anything! Remember, Pokémon are not ordinary creatures. To collect all 150, you'll need to train captured Pokémon so they evolve. For instance, a captured Caterpie will evolve into a Metapod, which will then turn into a Butterfree. Each transformation adds more power to the Pokémon-giving you more power to defeat and capture other Pokémon.... | GB | labelimagesubject |

| Raft Rider | US Games | 1983 | One player only VC2006 Raft Rider cartridge published 1982 Raft Rider GameLine service definitely published in 1989 Thought for some time to only have been published on the GameLine service in 1989. Turns out there is a rare cartridge version by US Games published in 1982. In this game, the play controls a minor during the Alaska/Yukon gold rush. He's piloting a raft full of supplies and gold nuggets down the river. Along the way there are addition gold nuggets to be found in the river and collected by passing the raft over them (aim low). The river is full of obstacles such as rocks, moose, falling trees (darn beavers!), and such. The physics of rowing a boat are simulated. Note, the character is by default rowing backward to slow his forward progress. So when he puts all of his energy to rowing left of right (up or down), the forward momentum of the raft will increased. Also, moving the joystick left or right causes the character to begin rowing, the raft only begins to move [i]after[/i] this. The rowing is not visually simulated however. This leads many to believe there is something wrong with the controls. [Zerothis] | Atari 2600 | labelimagesubject |

| Ultima VII: Forge of Virtue | Origin | 1992 | The Forge of Virtue was a small expansion released with some packages of the game and as a standalone product.

| Ultima VII: The Black Gate | FCI;Pony Canyon (Origin) | 1994 | This is drastically simplified version of the [game=#32923]Black Gate[/game], leaving in only some action-adventure kind of game from the original adventure-RPG with nary a dialogue left. This was done due to the limitations of the platform which simply couldn't handle the amount of data in the original. The game engine itself was rewritten entirely in assembly for the platform, and considering the things left out, it can't be considered the same as Ultima 7 engine. This rewritten engine was re-used in the SNES [game=#38033]Savage Empire[/game].***Tags: The 7th canonical game in the Ultima series and the first game in Ultima's Age of Armageddon. The player and party can use crossbows and bows. Ingredients can be mixed to bake bread and other things. Cheese is available as food. A variety of items can be crafted into other items. There are pumpkin fields in the game, from which pumpkins can be harvested. Flight of the Bumblebee is played at one point, Rule Britannia is overplayed. Unicorns are mentioned in in-game books and by characters[spoiler=and;and]one can be found by the player also.[/spoiler]. But due to the censorship of this game, the role unicorns it reduced. The game and story are so heavily censored that its practically unintelligible. [Zerothis] | SNES | labelimagesubject |

| Ultima VII: The Black Gate | author (Origin) | 2001 | Thanks to a game engine called Exult, Ultima VII: The Black Gate and its addon The Forge of Virtue can be played on a variety of platforms.
