2064: Read Only Memories	MidBoss (Midboss)	2015	2064: Read Only Memories merges old-school adventure gaming with modern storytelling to explore some of the social challenges we will face in the near future. Explore the colorful future metropolis of Neo-San Francisco, meeting a huge cast of fascinating characters and solving a far-reaching mystery. Think carefully about your choices, because you never know how they will affect this dynamic, branching narrative further down the line. The world is changing. Genetic alteration of humans is now commonplace, with many choosing to radically alter their bodies to express their individuality. Virtual intelligences called ROMs (Relationship and Organizational Managers), created as simple digital assistants, are exerting greater control over people's lives. Some are terrified by this rapid change, and they are willing to go to extreme lengths to prevent it. A lost ROM named Turing breaks into the apartment of a struggling journalist to ask for help. They claim to be the first sapient machine—not a simulation of life but a genuinely self-aware artificial being—and the technical genius who created them has gone missing. Can you unravel the shocking conspiracy that threatens to rock an entire society? Or will the darkness that lies behind the bright neon lights of Neo-SF consume you? Old-school, cutting-edge - Classic point-and-click adventuring inspired by the likes of Gabriel Knight and Snatcher is melded with modern branching storytelling that delves into identity, individuality, and what it means to be human. People of the future - Get to know a diverse cross-section of Neo-SF's population, brought to life by some of the best voice talent working in games today, including Melissa Hutchison and Dave Fennoy ( The Walking Dead ), Erin Yvette ( Oxenfree ), Austin Creed (WWE's Xavier Woods ), and internet stars Jim Sterling ( Jimquisition ) and SungWon Cho ( ProZD ). High tech nostalgia - The city of Neo-San Francisco is rendered in beautiful pixel art, and your adventure is accompanied by a catchy low-fi electronic synth soundtrack. Solve the mystery - Enjoy over ten hours of adventure gaming goodness, featuring exploration, dynamic branching conversations, multiple endings, and many challenges to overcome. The definitive PC edition - Since its launch two years ago, the team has made many improvements and additions to an already amazing game, making this the ultimate version. Additions have included new characters and voice performers, additional facial animations, Japanese language support, and the "Endless Christmas" extended epilogue that allows you to hang out with your favorite Neo-SF locals. More about the Sights & Sounds of Neo-SF Deluxe Edition Sights of Neo-SF (Artbook) The world of 2064 can be hard to navigate. The Sights of Neo-SF is the official art book by Read Only Memories director and lead artist John "JJSignal" James. Highly stylized and specific in its visuals, ROM's progression from early sketches to final form is fully outlined in this 50-page PDF. You will see early concepts fully realized, previous versions of your favorite characters and even some characters that didn't make the final cut. JJ lists Bubblegum Crisis, Akira, Megazone 23, and the Pluto manga as his biggest style inspirations. Come see where the ideas behind the game began and watch them evolve into the vibrant city of Neo-SF we know and love. Sounds of Neo-SF (Soundtrack) Composed by 2 Mello, the Sounds Of Neo-SF is the FM-synthy, funky, and positively-charged soundtrack to MidBoss' cyberpunk adventure game Read Only Memories. Not content with a soundtrack that was merely fitting for its game, 2 Mello crafted these sounds to embody the dual nature of Neo-San Francisco, all its charm and its hidden dangers. But who said that our cyberpunk future has to be dark and dreary? You'll be humming these melodies to 2064 and beyond.*** [12]	Windows

Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath	Electronic Arts (EA Los Angeles)	2008	Far more enjoyable to play than the base CnC3 in my experience, and the difficulty options actually work properly in this. In terms of story, Kane's Wrath is sort of a filler, covering things between second and third tiberium wars, clarifying some events of third tiberium war and shows part of the events leading to CnC4. If anyone is ever interested in CnC3, then this is the only reason to get it, besides following the story of Kane (Tiberium series) if you're into that sort of thing. Thisis also very much focused on mutliplayer experience as the story only allows you to play with Nod and its sub-factions and only cursorily demonstrating the new sub-factions for GDI and Scrin.**In the name of Kane! The Command & Conquer™ series continues to thrive with Command & Conquer™ 3: Kane’s Wrath. As the expansion pack to the critically-acclaimed and fan favorite, Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars™, this Real-time Strategy (RTS) game returns to the Tiberium Universe with Kane at the center of an epic new single player campaign spanning 20 years – from the rebirth of the Brotherhood of Nod after the Second Tiberium War through the dramatic events of the Third Tiberium War and beyond. This story will be told through a new set of high-definition, live action video sequences starring a celebrity cast including Joe Kucan, playing the megalomaniac leader of the Brotherhood of Nod, alongside new talent Natasha Henstridge and Carl Lumbly. With your help, Commander, the Dark Messiah may rise again! [b]Unprecedented Multi-decade Campaign[/b] – Kane returns as the centerpiece of an epic new single-player campaign.

Dark Matter	Iceberg Interactive (InterWave Studios)	2012	Long gone are the days of enemies suddenly gushing out gold coins and serviceable weapons, as are gone the days of dumb, repeating movement patterns. We’re taking a dynamic AI approach to controlling enemies in Dark Matter, which makes for some unique combat. Some creatures will shy from the light, others will be attracted to it. Warrior drones will rush you while support fighters will hang back and pelt you from a distance with powerful acid bolts. Wounded enemies will retreat, to bring you in harm’s way as you pursue them, and larger enemies will require some precise tactics, if you’re planning to do anything but get eaten by them. Prioritizing your targets, using the right weapon for the job, picking the best ammo for each enemy, those are the things that will get you through the game, if we don’t manage to scare you to death first, of course. Which we’ll also be trying to do. [b]Key Features:[/b] * 14 levels in a gritty tale of deep space survival * 4 weapons, each with 4 ammo types * Four craftable upgrades to customize your weapons * Collect scrap and alien resources to craft your own tools and health packs * Invest in the weapons and upgrades you prefer, develop your own combat techniques * Complex enemy AI that reacts to the player’s actions and tactics * Non-linear exploration and storytelling * Elemental ammo effects that allow you to freeze, dissolve, electrocute or set fire to your enemies * Light and darkness are integral parts of gameplay, not just visual touches * Uncompromisingly real-time lights and shadow casting for spine-tingling moments of pure, darkness-fuelled terror * Clean, hand-painted textures and custom shading techniques are combined in a unique visual style * Dynamic soundtrack that adapts to gameplay circumstances * SteamCloud support and Steam Achievements * Dark Matter will fully embrace Steamplay for Windows, OSX and Linux	Windows

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.

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.

An ordinary Ubuntu CD 10.10 (Maverick) or later version will not install on a 486 machine and special methods to do so are required (the problem is actually the Linux kernel version used). In fact, the version of the game is specifically packaged for Linux and has two recommended custom engines to choose from. One is heavily based on DOSbox source code, the other on SCUMMVM source. There is also nothing to prevent the player from using their own DOSBox, SCUMMVM, real DOS, virtual machine with real DOS, or other DOS emulator or DOS clone (the publisher made specific modifications in packaging to allow for these). GOG provides a DOSBox installer package or as a tar.gz (for those who wish to bypass GOG's installer and redundant DOSBox installation)	Linux

I Have no Mouth, and I Must Scream	Cyberdreams;Acclaim Entertainment (The Dreamers Guild)	1995	Assume the roles of five different characters, each in a unique environment. Challenging dilemmas dealing with powerfully charged emotional issues. Provocative psychological and adult-oriented themes. Based on Harlan Ellison's short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream", one of the ten most reprinted stories in the English language. Fully digitized speech with over 40 different characters and state of the art animation. Harlan Ellison as the voice of the insane master computer, AM. - FIVE DAMNED SOULS: Buried deep within the center of the earth, trapped in the bowels of an insane computer for the past hundred and nine years. Garrister the suicidal loner. Benny the mutilated brute. Ellen the hysterical phobic. Nimdok the secretive sadist. Ted the cynical paranoid. ONE CHALLENGE: The adventure plunges you into the tortured and hidden past of the five humans. Delve into their darkest fears. Outwit the master computer AM in a game of psychological warfare. Disturbing. Compelling. An adventure you won't easily forget !!* [84]Great atmosphere, an incredible narrator (voiced by no other than the original writer, Harlan Ellison) and well done sense of unease and fated misery; nonetheless it includes confusing controls (for example walk to vs. use, and how only one or another should be used in different doors/passages), many plot holes and very frustrating random solution puzzles. It saddens me see that is not up to the quality of the original short story. 4 of 10 P.S.: The best part is Nimdok's chapter.**Requires DOS 4.0+, 80486 CPU, 4MB RAM, 2xCD-ROM, SuperVGA/VESA, (Ensoniq Soundscape/General MIDI/Gravis Ultrasound/Ultrasound ACE/Pro Audio Spectrum/Spectrum Plus/Spectrum 16/Roland MT-32/Roland LAPC-1/Sound Blaster/Sound Blaster 16/Sound Blaster AWE32/Sound Blaster Pro) sound card, Keyboard and Mouse Original version shipped with a mousepad with a 3D picture of the box art on it. Due to German laws, The story involving the nazi scientist has been cut in the German version. This cut includes an entire chapter. Harlan Ellison sued because he didn't 'get my share of the prophets'. Turns out the game lost money. Ellison was not counter sued for the difference. [Zerothis]	MS-DOS
I, Robot	Atari	1984	The game was completed and ready for market in 1983. But it wasn't liked by Atari management and ultimately did not make it to market until June of 1984 when management at Atari was in a full panic about the market crash and was making quite a few seemingly random choices since all the conventional choices weren't doing them any good. In fairness, they were probably not overly concerned with the existential gameplay and content, nor the extreme difficulty that resulted. The hardware was singular, expensive, and unreliable. The game has a fire button but no jump button. Jumping takes place when the player moves the joystick in a direction that selects one of the highlighted jump targets. The game contains numerous references to dystopian works and concepts. The title [i]I, Robot[/i] of course refers to [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Robot]Isaac Asimov's 1950 collection of short stories[/url] that introduced the three laws of robotics and was foundational to his Robots and Foundation seriesum. The protagonist is designated, "1984" in reference to George Orwell's [i]Ninteen Eighty-Four[/i]. Notably, [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four]that novel[/url] is set in a society that no longer has "laws". The game does not make reference to "rules", or "programming", but rather, uses the word "law" both in-game and the instructions printed on the cabinet. Another reference to Asimov's robots. The most present enemy and main threat throughout the game, is [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry]an eye on top of a pyramid[/url]. The eye on top of a pyramid enemy is called, "Big Brother". Another reference to [i]Ninteen Eighty-Four[/i] Big brother is protected by a shield with depletable armor value referred to as "[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothschild_family]REDS[/url]". Many people complain about the unfairness of this game. There are multiple modes of play with different [s]rules[/s]laws and they are notably not specified in the instructions on the game cabinet nor are they specified in advance in the game itself. Rather the game instantly kills the player, then informs the player of the law they violated. This should not be credited to poor game design. Rather this is intended to fit the dystopian themes. It should not be forgotten that Dave Theurer previously designed [game=#205]a game based on a nightmare of insects emerging from a hole in the ground to kill him[/game] and [game=#128]a game about nuclear holocaust the player must lose by design[/game]. The game has a unique mechanic concerning the adjustable camera which can be taken to the extremes of overhead view and directly behind the robot protagonist view, with any other angle in between being available. The lower the angle of the camera is, the more points the player can score. There is a viewer killer enemy that does not Target the robot protagonist but instead targets the camera. If the player is unable to successfully dodge the viewer killer enemies ( by adjusting the camera ), the viewer killers will stick to the camera and block the player's view. This tends too quickly lead to the robot protagonist's death. There is an enemy that destroys the floor from the front of the screen forward. Which of course requires the player to hurry you complete the level as quickly as possible. And it adds an even more urgent threat than the timer that pounds down to an instant death. At any time the player can switch over to the "ungame" known as _Doodle City_. Hear the player can paint the screen by moving, spinning, and rotating the various three-dimensional polygons used in the game, as if they were paint brushes. The lives of the robot protagonist are spent as the clock ticks by during a Doodle City session. The player can switch back to the game at any time or remain a dual city until all the robot's lives are lost. Doodle City could be interpreted as the sentient robot protagonist spending his literal life on pursuing an artistic hobby. This game is the subject of an urban legend. As the story goes, Atari put 500 unsold units in a shipping container bound for japan. But made arrangements for the shipping container to 'accidentally' fall overboard and sink to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Thus allowing the expensive cabinets to be used as a tax loss. Rusty Dawe as stated the personal appeal the idea holds for him, but confirmed that it did not actually take place. This game came out of a project that Atari worked on for almost a decade to try and make a fully polygogonal racing game. The project would eventually produce hard driving in 1988. But in the meantime the games of [game=#19]Battle Zone[/game] and [game=#197]Star Wars[/game] developed out of the project. And in a roundabout way, [i]I, Robot[/i]. The game began as [i]Ice Castles[/i], also called [i]Ice World[/i] and [i]Heart of Ice[/i]. The story was about a prince navigating a polygonal world to rescue a princess whose heart had been frozen. It was roughly based on the Grimm's Fairy tale, Heart of Ice. Development was to be led by Mark Cerny, who was currently busy with Marble Madness. At the same time, The Davids were working on a piece of arcade hardware to make a fully polygonal game. Making a race car game with non-flat terrain proved to be too difficult as the cars tended to clip through the terrain and no efficient way was yet found two properly calculate the clipping at a speed that let games run at a decent frame rate. One of the David's noted that a blocky computer world would be much better suited to the limits of current hardware, than a racing game or a fairy tale game that required navigating natural looking non-flat terrain. Thus, we got a game that was filled with more existential nightmare fuel than anything the Grimm Brothers ever created. The polygonal racer was not working well but the David's had been working on a game where the player climbed into a car and drove to different buildings in an open game world. The player could then get out of the car and enter the buildings where they would play one of Atari's arcade games. This concept would eventually be used by Namco for their Namco Museum series. But in 1983, it was not to be used by atari. This mechanic of going into doors to play different games, was somewhat translated into the I, Robot game. The player has the option of entering doors and thus different modes of gameplay than the main one. There is a warp and continue feature. On the first level the player can quickly move towards one of the teleporters then start the game on any of the first five levels. If they have previously lost all their credits and then enter the teleporter using a new quarter, the game will begin at whatever level the player was last at, including levels beyond level 5. There's also a built-in infinite lives cheat. Bus to continue feature and infinite live feature seem to be intentionally placed in the game for the players to discover. The game suffered from technical issues. It required a massive amount of RAM by 1984 standards and individual chips of the cheap RAM that it shipped with would fail often. Okay I want to display the message "you have entered a black hole". Also problematic was the hall effect joysticks. These were a very Innovative concept and eventually it would be put to very good use. But the ones used for i, robot where first generation technology. They relied on using magnetic force to calculate the position of the joystick rather than potentiometers. They spent magnetic disturbances, sources of magnetism in the arcade, or even nearby sources of magnetism such as a magnetic crane, when cause anomalous movement of the joystick in contrast to the players input or lack of it. The system also required calibration and could discalibrate quite easily. The cabinets also shipped with a terrible power supply that had a tendency to fail and begin smoking. There was also a problem with the hardware on the board heating up beyond its functioning temperature range.*- Move robot over all red zones. When red zones are eliminated jump to eye to complete each wave. - Do not jump if eye is red. - To jump: Go to an edge and push joystick in desired direction (flashing squares indicate where you can land). - Avoid all enemy objects. Some can be destroyed by using fire button. - In the space waves shoot all pyramids to get maximum points. Some objects cannot be destroyed. - Hints: The shield counts down the number of red zones remaining. To select higher levels enter transporter. To change perspective press start buttons.*The first game to feature shaded 3D polygonal graphics. Also the first game to have a continue option. Guide a robot in his mission to destroy the giant eye of Big Brother. The game also featured an alternate mode called "Doodle City" where the player could draw using polygons from the main game.
