Bodorynth	Amiga Special	19??
Breach	Omnitrend Software;Artronic Products (Omnitrend Software)	1987	WE WANT YOU... FOR THE FEDERATED WORLD’S SPECIAL FORCES Moving my squad through enemy infested jungle. Suddenly Darrow’s detector picks up life forms 50 metres out. "Nothing but a couple of BRACHIATORS" he says to me. Just then Darrow takes it through the chest. We all hit the dirt trying to figure where the shot came from. And there it is... a BATTLE ROBOT. Hsiang shoots its sensory grid but it doesn’t do much good. It starts tracking him with its dual guns and suddenly he takes some hot plasma. Now it’s just me and the Kid Roki. "Roki" I said, "Direct fire at its lifters so it can’t move." So like a vet of 20 drops he rises on one knee and hits the thing right in the lifters. "That’s one less Battle Robot", he says. I toss an energy grenade at the hulk to make sure. Then we turned to start the long job of carrying the boys north to our landing craft.

Mindbreaker	Softgang (Digital Artwork)	1987
Crack	Linel	1988	Swiss developed Arkanoid style game, with a prehistoric theme. Play is for one or two players simultaneously (including a battle-mode), and options are available for mouse and joystick controls. A comprehensive level editor is also included. The players’ bat here is made out to look like a bone, and the ball is a spherical stone. Level backdrops are randomised pixel-painted scenes featuring different types of Dinosaurs. The bricks to knock out sometimes contain pickups to collect, such as a laser gun, an automatic CPU controlled bat navigation mode, extra life, slow-ball etc. A pickup is immediately activated upon collection, but subsequent ones collected are not if one is active, and clicking the right mouse button will cancel out the current effect for the last pickup collected. A bonus coconut game can be enabled from the main menu, which in turn lets you play this sub-game at predefined intervals during the course of standard play, where you control a caveman holding a pan, and the object is to catch coconuts that fall from trees with it, by moving from left to right on the single screen. Your bonus is tallied for how many coconuts you managed to catch in the allotted time.* [21]* [17]* [49]* [57]* [33]* [52]

Breach 2	Impressions (Omnitrend Software)	1990	An early squad-level tactical combat game, much like the X-Com series of games and the more contemporary Laser Squad. Breach 2 features turn-based combat from an isometric point of view set in the far future. As one of the more unique aspects the squad leaders gain experience from successful missions should they survive. Breach 2 is set in the same sci-fi universe as Omnitrend's Universe and Rules of Engagement series and shares the same backstory with those games. Breach 2 is a part of the IGS (Interlocking Game System) and compatible with the two Rules of Engagement games. This means you can use Breach 2 to resolve the tactical combat situations, boarding an enemy ship for example, you run into in the starship command simulation, which is the heart and soul of the Rules of Engagement series. A scenario builder is included with the game, making it possible to create your own missions and trade them.* [97]* [90]* [76]* [7]* [23]* [17]* [80]* [33]*** [1]

Emerald Mine 3 Professional	Kingsoft	1990	Very similar to its predecessor. Actually all the levels were contributed by users, so Emerald Mine 3 is more like a level-disk for Emerald Mine / Emerald Mine II. Kingsoft not even bothered to make a new title screen.

Booly	Loriciel (T.A.G.)	1991	Booly is a puzzle game with a similar concept to Gem’X in some ways. You are presented with a top-down view of an array of inter-connected blocks, which are shown in a variety of colours. The aim is to turn them all to grey, but clicking on them (using the pointer you are in control of) will often cause a pattern of other squares to change to the next colour in the sequence as well. You are doing all this with a time limit for each of the 300 levels. A level designer allows you to create your own sequence of up to 1000 levels.* [97]* [52]*** [37]

Bobo Kloc	?	2008	Bobo Kloc is a timed arcade puzzle-board game with two gameplay modes. Accessing the next stage requires removing or gathering all of the tiles and objects placed on the board. There are ten types of tiles, removal requires a collision with another block of the same type. The task is complicated by numerous bugs (contact with them means a loss of life), objects (box, bulb, wall, rock) and types of surfaces (ice, rocks, swamp). The bugs are divided into intelligent, lethargic and nervous, differing in the speed and the way of movement. The game features also some power up items, such us snowflake (temporarily freeze enemies), bomb (kills one wave of enemies), hearth (extra life), clock (extra time), level pass (next level), floppy disk (extra points), teleport (gate to another part of the board) and in game hints. In Bobo mode Amigafly can change the direction of movement after hitting an obstacle (wall, box, object, end of the board) or reaching special blocking surface (swamp). This type of game requires quick planning and predicting the path of movement while avoiding numerous enemies on board. By contrast, there are no restrictions in movement in the Kloc mode. Bobo mode features 110 levels, Kloc mode 50. After each completed level the player receives an access password. The game has built-in level editor, allowing to add an own set of the boards.
