Arazok's Tomb	Aegis Development (The Next Frontier)	1987	You are an ace reporter with the Herald Tribune and investigator into the bizarre. You've just stumbled onto a story about an underground connection that links the magic of the past with the mystery of the future. An ancient city rebuilt into a futuristic and sinister land of the supernatural, diabolical, and deadly! So it's off to the Welsh countryside and a charming bit of ancient history, a hill bearing the name Caer Arazok. You recall the stones of great buried monoliths that rival Stonehenge. And a quote sticks naggingly in the back of your mind... The nethermos: caverns are not for the fathoming of eyes that see. for their marvels are strange and terrific. Curse the ground where dead thoughts live... and evil the mind that is held by no head ... Classic horror not for kids.* [161]* [135]* [129]* [22]* [52]* [33]

Shadow of the Beast II	Psygnosis (Reflections)	1990	SHADOW of the Beast II is very similar to its highly acclaimed predecessor. However, Psygnosis has listened to the comments made about the first game and improved upon them for this, the second instalment of the Beast saga. Having fought your way across the plains, you managed to reach the killer of your father, the Beast Mage, Zelek. A long and arduous battle ensued and as the sun set in the east only one shadowy figure remained standing. Against all odds you had defeated the powerful wizard and avenged the death of your once proud father. As time passed, people moved to the furthest reaches of the land in search of a more bountiful life. What with the Mage long since deceased the peasants slept safely in their beds, or so they thought. One terrible night, high on mountain top, the silhouette of a lone figure could be made out against the dark night sky. As rain poured out of the sky and lightning flashed all around the strange figure raised a staff causing weird electrical currents to run all over his body. The figure turned and twisted until it had become a hideous winged creature. Gliding effortlessly down from the mountain, the creature swooped over o lonesome cottage ripping off the roof as though it were made of straw Inside a baby screamed as its mother looked upwards. A menacingly huge hand reached in and grasped the babe. The creature took off into the distance leaving the poor woman all alone in the darkness. So it was that the Beast Mage returned, taking your only son in the process. There was no question what you must do, even without your Beast powers you must travel to the Kara-Moon, defeat the Mage and rescue your heir Beast It looks quite similar to its predecessor. That is, it takes the guise of a platform-style game come differences between the two Beast games are that this second instalment is much bigger and it requires far more lateral thinking and puzzle solving. Players may now collect coins to spend on needy provisions. Clues can be gleaned by asking the inhabitants of Kara-Moon probing questions You may even barter objects in return for information and help.

Chuck Rock	Core Design	1991	He's fat, he stinks and he's one of the best-loved characters ever to climb his way out of the primordial slime and onto your video screen.

Together, you and the Chuckster swim through swamps, travel up volcanoes and shiver your way through the ice age -- all in the name of love! Nineteen levels set in five prehistoric worlds. Eye-popping graphics and very cool animation.

Drol	Brøderbund (Cachet)	1991
Dyna Blaster	Ubi Soft	1991	The black spaceman kidnapped Bomberman's beloved and brought her to his chambers in the castle, far beyond his reach, over the rivers, forest and mountains. Bomberman's job is to save her, battling the sea of the enemies, with only bombs at his disposal. The range of Bomberman's bomb explosions can be upgraded with time, but if he dies, the range resets back to the minimum range and Bomberman loses his previous skills. Some updates can make Bomberman walk through the walls, increase his speed, and give him some other assets to aid him in his quest to save the woman he loves. This top-down action-arcade game consists of nine levels per stage, each tougher than the other, and each final one consisting of the boss that will have to be dealt with. Bomberman can move horizontally and vertically and lay down bombs behind him, thus evaporating the enemies, but beware: Bomberman can block himself with his own bomb, and thus become a victim of his own bomb.* [76]* [88]* [106]* [7]* [23]* [97]* [22]* [52]*** [37]
