NetHack Stichting Matematisch Centrum & M.Stephenson1985'NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine. Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly. Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender.'

[37]***The game was formerly commercial, but was released under GPL license at some point.***Featuring Revolution's innovative Virtual Theatre system and stunning artwork from award-winning comic-book artist Dave Gibbons, Beneath A Steel Sky is a gripping science fiction thriller set in a bleak vision of the future.

Robert Foster is an innocent outsider stranded in a vast city where oppressed civillians live and work in soaring tower blocks.... while the corrupt, covetous and rich lie underground, shielded from all pollution.

Chewy: Esc from F5  Blue Byte1995Chewy is a fun but sadly unknown cartoon adventure in the style of LucasArts' classic Day of the Tentacle but with plenty of charms on its own. You play Chewy, a cute little alien (and very pink) who is out to rescue his friend who's been captured by the evil Borks. The puzzles, while not as creative as in DOTT, are quite zany (along the way you must capture a ghost, and write a best-selling novel) and fun to solve. Overall, a fun adventure that shouldn't be missed. labelimagesubject
Toonstruck Virgin (Burst Entertainment)1996Toonstruck is a point-and-click adventure in the style of Monkey Island series. It uses a one-icon system, and the protagonist is a motion-captured actor against an animated environment.

Like an adventure game in the Roger Rabbit style. Drew Blanc, the main character, is played by Christopher Lloyd, whom you may know as the professor in Back to the Future and Fester in The Addams Family movies. He ventures through the animated world consisting of very weird cartoon characters. The land is being overrun by an evil doctor, and you, as Drew, must stop him.***
