Dan Dare III: The Escape	Virgin Games (Probe Software)	1990
Escape from Colditz	Digital Magic Software	1990
Another World	Delphine Software	1991	There was only one chance out of one million that such an accident could happen. As for the consequences, nobody could have foreseen them. Certainly not Lester, who finds himself lost in an unknown and utterly hostile world. However, it is in this other world that he will rediscover the genuine meaning of freedom won by fighting, the feeling that each day is a new victory...* [76]* [163]* [7]* [162]* [103]* [7]* [23]* [23]* [17]* [97]*The game allowed switching between PAL and NTSC [i]and[/i] stretching the screen to fit independently. While this was intended to let the user display the image how they preferred on a 4:3 monitor or TV, it had the unintended effect of allowing square pixels and an undistorted image when viewed anamorphicly on a 16:10 monitor. The aspect ratios and letterboxing were intended, widescreen support was not, so the [gametag=widescreen]widescreen[/gametag] tag does not apply here.* [22]* [52]* [37]***The Japanese title of the game is アウターワールド, but I'm unaware which ports were released in Japan to apply this correctly.
Alcatraz	Infogrames (221B Software Developments)	1992	Alcatraz has already sheltered the biggest mafia gangsters, but not one as ruthless as the boss of the drug cartel, Miguel Tardiez, who took refuge with his men in the former prison. Your mission consists of capturing the dealers, burning all the stocks and destroying the secret laboratories... There, where all the others have failed, you must be successful. In case of problems, do not count on anybody to help you. - SONORIFIC GAME PLAY - 1 OR 2 PLAYERS SIMULTANEOUSLY - 100 % DANGER* [76]* [7]* [23]* [97]* [52]75% for one player 85% for two players [37]I remember that there was 3 different types of play. There was the side scroll shoot them up. There was also the part in the jails where it was "3d" and the building climb. [sam]*A 2d game where you are supposed to escape from alcatraz by killing (shoooting) guards that ar in your way. (it has been a long time since I played it, so thats abiut all i can remember)
Lure of the Temptress	Virgin (Revolution Software)	1992	A point-&-click adventure with some unique features. Characters in the game go on living their lives when they are not on screen. Also, you can enlist the help of characters you meet. Sort of forming an RPG style 'party'. [Zerothis]
