The Bard's Tale: Tales of the Unknown	Electronic Arts (Interplay)	1987	The Legend of Skara Brae Long ago, when magic still prevailed, the evil wizard Mangar the Dark threatened a small but harmonious country town called Skara Brae. Evil creatures oozed into Skara Brae and joined his shadow domain. Mangar froze the surrounding lands with a spell of Eternal Winter, totally isolating Skara Brae from any possible help. Then, one night the town militiamen all disappeared. The future of Skara Brae hung in the balance. And who was left to resist? Only a handful of unproven young Warriors, junior Magic Users, a couple of Bards barely old enough to drink, and some out of work Rogues. You are there. You are the leader of this ragtag group of freedom fighters. Luckily you have a Bard with you to sing your glories, if you survive. For this is the stuff of legends. And so the story begins...* [52]* [135]* [129]* [21]* [76]* [22]* [52]* [52]

X-Out	Rainbow Arts	1990	X-OUT consists of 8 big worlds, which are populated by crowds of enemies and 8 mighty monsters. It's your task to free all these worlds of the intruders, and with it the world and your birthday. All of the alien weapon systems are available to you, because spies were able to steal plans and material from the aliens. Unfortunately the government isn't generous enough to put this material at your disposal for nothing, they even want cash from you (that's how far capitalism has got in 2019). So you have to scrape together your last savings to save the world of the claws of evil.* [184]* [23]* [99]* [118]* [24]* [2]* [76]* [83]* [23]* [103]* [49]* [62]* [102]* [7]* [17]* [82]* [85]* [33]* [22]* [1]* [52]* [37]
Moonstone - A Hard Days Knight	Mindscape	1991	A very sacred time is upon the people. A time that descends once every thousand years. As the Druids will be only too happy to tell you, this is the season of the Moonstones! Danu, the spirit of the moon, has turned his attention away from the activities of the cosmos to those of the earth. It is during such a time that the Gods bestow a fabulous gift to the greatest warrior in the land; a gift of ultimate power! But first such a warrior would have to prove himself. Thus, the first warrior to complete "The Quest of the Moonstones" will receive this great blessing. But any warrior considering such a quest must be prepared to wander the surrounding land, enduring many hardships, risking life and limb all the while.* [88]* [7]* [7]* [158]* [76]* [23]* [97]* [97]* [22]* [52]*** [37]

Alien Breed II: The Horror Continues	Team17	1993	Alien Breed II: The Horror Continues has Gauntlet-influenced gameplay, similar to the original Alien Breed (and the Alien Breed Special Edition '92), but with many new features. As one of four Interplanetary Corps soldiers, you must visit a remote alien-infested colony and destroy the alien invaders. The game is split into 3 main towers: Civilian, Military, and Science. There are also corridors linking them and outdoor levels. In total there are 17 zones, each featuring numerous different aliens and backgrounds. As you go through the game you collect credits, which can be traded for weapons, ammunition, and other enhancements through the in-game computers. Keys are collected as you progress, which must be used wisely, as there are many rooms containing bonuses that don’t have to be entered. Just like before, the game can be played solo or with a friend.*** [23]
Bi-Fi Roll: Snack Zone	Bi-Fi Roll;The Art Department (The Art Department;Touch of Magic)	1993	Snack Zone is a German-language promotional adventure game. The plot is that secret documents have gone missing from the factory that makes Bi-Fi Rolls (a kind of salami-based snack) and without them, production has been forced to halt, and supplies will run out in a few days. You play the role of a man called Lukas, and it is your responsibility to scour the city and recover these documents as quickly as possible. The game is controlled with the joystick: you can walk left and right, and press up to go through an exit or talk to a character you are standing next to. At the bottom of the screen is a panel that shows the inventory items you are carrying, as well as three stats: your physical energy, your emotional wellbeing, and your snack levels. While completing your main task, you will also need to make sure these stats are kept topped up, which you can do by buying snacks from street kiosks and by helping people you meet solve their problems.
