Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves	Electronic Arts	1986	I remember this game. There was a weird glitch/easter egg if you attacked random space (where there was no enemy). Sometimes, if you do that, the game would open a door at random on the map, even in places where there weren't any doors or in the middle of surrounding walls. The game even tells you to do this in a certain place (I forget where). I never found out what that did. [HuManBing]	C64

Lords of Time	Level 9 Computing	1984	The dream returned last night: so passing strange! It seemed that History was cast askew, and dinosaurs remained to fight Mankind. But the great beasts for all their Lizard might, were caught in cunning pits and traps, and doomed. You see brave knights, and dragons breathing fire. But 'tis the latter who are good and fine, the knights are evil to a man. Their armour melts, the knights are those in chess. You've White, with King and Pawns alone, against the Black army. But yet, in just a dozen moves, you win! You look at your opponent, it's no man but a home micro known for Chess, the maker's own program! The board is nine-by-nine. Around it sit nine men. They talk and giggle, reaching to the board, and moving living pieces - living men. Each move reverberates, your vision blurs and fades. It is the present, on a TV a star (of cow-b movies, once but little shown). The president? His trigger finger poised? You read the morning paper: something's changed - the great recovery from North Sea Oil . . is gone. The money pays the unemployed instead. It's too absurd, you wake, it's true!! A poem lingers in your memory: Into the cauldron you must throw an olive branch, makes friendship grow. A dragon's wing, a sign of flight, An ivory tusk, a sign of might. Mix in the teardrop, a touch of sadness, and the evil eye, a sign of badness. Add a dinosaur egg, a sign of birth, with the jester's cap, a symbol of mirth, plus the silicon chip, a vital invention, and the gold buckle, a bone of contention. If you do this, before time runs out, a winner you'll be - there is no doubt. But take care when you find the lords, or you'll not gain your just rewards, your quest will all have been in vain, and you will have to start again. Simply complete the formula to defeat the Evil Timelords who are meddling with Earth's History [Ritchardo]*** [137]	Amstrad CPC

Ōkami	Capcom (Clover Studio)	2006	[b]retelling[/b] — Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, Susanoo slaying Orochi, and likely others. There's also plenty of elements borrowed from other classic tales without explicitly retelling them, such as Issun-bōshi.*[spoiler=Show vague hints;Hide]Get to Agata forest - use Bloom on all the dark wrinkled trees with ribbons in the starting village and talk to Mr. Orange, you'll get Lily Pad brush power. (more tips to follow; simpler tips omitted) Black cherry trees : Bloom power Green/white beam of light : dig Pile of leaves : Galestorm power Ice : Inferno power Huge flags : Galestorm power Guardian Statues : vases made by the woodcutter in Shinshu Cat statues : Catwalk power[/spoiler] Note: the game effectively pauses when drawing, and the only limit you have then is how large your ink pot (magic pool) is. Ink is restored quite fast when not drawing, so there's very little reason to upgrade it (unless some later puzzles require more). Of course, being brush heavy in the fighting will make you want to upgrade it. This is also works great for defending yourself when you otherwise feel like you can't (grow trees between the attackers and you, slash at the enemies or the stuff they throw at you, etc.) Feeding animals gives 1-5 points of praise/adoration (xp) per animal, though single feeding affects the whole herd, flock, or whatever.Other languages are only present on the game box and manual (in-game voices/text still in English), at least in European releases. The Japanese title 大神 actually reads "great deity" rather than "wolf", but the pronunciation (and transliteration) is the same as with 狼 which stands for "wolf". So, in effect, it's a pun for "great wolf deity".In Okami, the player takes the role of the mythical sun goddess Amaterasu, in the form of a wolf. Her task is to restore color (or 'life') to the world by destroying the monsters who have stolen it. Since Amaterasu is a deity, there are naturally people who worship her and people who don't. The more people who worship her (as a result of her restoring color and doing other good deeds for them), the more powerful she becomes.In Ōkami, the legendary monster Orochi has come back to life and turned the world into a wasteland. To restore the earth's natural order and beauty, players assume the role of wolf-embodied sun god Amaterasu and participate in numerous action packed battles against the ominous beings they encounter. However, conquering these impending enemies is no small feat. Amaterasu will travel through different regions of the world to regain her 'Celestial Brush' powers, all the while revitalizing everything in her path. Using an innovative control scheme, gamers can slash away at enemies, use various brush strokes to solve puzzles, create pathways, chop down trees or turn night into day. The real-time fighting system not only involves assorted brush techniques, but also myriad of specials attacks typically not associated with the physical prowess of a normal wolf. Featuring a visually stunning art style, Ōkami comes alive through beautiful scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art. Throughout the vibrant and distinctive surroundings, players must also interact with a dynamic cast of characters, building their faith to uncover clues and hints. The blend of stylized graphics and unique gameplay will result in a rich and dynamic experience never seen before.**great art style [gimura]	PS2

The game is fully integrated into the GUI with all the screen elements appearing as separate windows and dialogs rather than being tiled and multiple screens as in all other versions of the game. Game options are all available in the Mac menus and have keyboard shortcuts. This allows more space for certain elements, for instance the text area is approximately 80 columns by 9 rows. The text ares is much larger than in other versions but few dialogs actually use more than 3 lines of it. Also, the 1st person view and some other elements are the same size as the other versions.
