Crack Down Sega1990Dr. Oscar K. is after human hide. This white-coat-gone - turncoat was in charge of experimental research at an underground factory that produced half-human, half-robot cyborgs. Former employees - the ones who survived - say he was a decent guy until he went buggy and wired his 'borgs for evil. Now they want to destroy human beings - instead of putting hub-caps on new cars. Needless to say, it's up to you to destroy these haywire hybrids. Don't be fooled by the flesh-tone. If it's pasty-faced, it's after anything that's pure biology. Take another freedom fighter down the manhole with you, or go solo. Just see to it that all the bombs are set in all the right places. Then scram before they go off. Move onto more hostile sectors, where corners get darker and more dangerous. You have machine guns and full brain capacity on your side. The cyborgs only have half-a-mind, but a sinister set of software to eliminate you. labelimagesubject

Dunjax author1990In Dunjax, you are an astral explorer whose ship has crashed on an uncharted planet! After awakening from unconsciousness, you have found your ship pillaged by strange lifeforms. Chiefly missing is a propulsion device that powers the engines of your ship. Donning your gravity boots and ion rifle, you have tracked the beings to a cave set into a nearby mountain range.

The Punisher MicroProse (Paragon Software)1990Murder, vigilantism, revenge, bloody shootouts, family massacres, orgies, animal and human sacrifice, satanism... This was published by Microprose boys and girls. Sure, they do a lot of war simulations with implied violence (killing billions), but I can't recall them ever using so much up-close and personal depictions of so many mature subjects.

Apparently the copy protection questions the game asks about the manual are based on an entirely different manual.

Ultima VII: The Black Gate  Origin1992Review for the French version of the game.
[22]***
[22]***French version
[37]***
[37]***Came with six 3.5' disks. The original release included a demo of Ultima Underworld on a 5.25' disk. U7 was rerealsed both by Origin and Electronic Arts in many packages that included the sequels/add-ins for U7 (Forge of Virtue, Serpent Isle, The Silver Seed)

Tags:
The 7th canonical game in the Ultima series and the first game in Ultima's Age of Armageddon. The player and party can use crossbows and bows. Ingredients can be mixed to bake bread and other things. Cheese is available as food. A variety of items can be crafted into other items. There are pumpkin fields in the game, from which pumpkins can be harvested. Flight of the Bumblebee is played at one point, Rule Britannia is overplayed. There are several prisoners in the game and its this plays into the plot more than once. An addictive medicine in the game is abused by characters and can be abused by the player's character and party, with consequences. Unicorns are mentioned in in-game books and by characters[spoiler=and;and]one can be found by the player also.[/spoiler]
Origin once again attempted to create a game engine as they had done before with Ultima IV and Ultima VI. Arthurian Legends was the game they would attempt to create using the U7 Engine. AL was not completed and the source code of the Ultima VII games was later lost.

A game engine called Exult allows the game to run on a wide variety of platforms
[Zerothis]***Still one of the best RPG's ever made IMO. The Forge of Virtue was a small expansion released with some packages. Ever wondered how to get this baby to run on Windows? Check here:

Wolfenstein 3D  Apogee;Activision;GT Interactive (id Software)1992[media=youtube]x8o0a5ntxfc[/media]***A fun run-and-gun FPS (one of the pioneers of the genre) with a simple goal in mind: kill nazis.
It has not aged well (its palette is very harsh to the sight, and its control feels clunky), but still its minoic level design (filled with secrets) and its variety of levels (from the ubermensch/zombie army of mission 2 to the secret nightmare of mission 4) make it a nice title.
Its simpleness is its best virtue; nonetheless this game was made to be hard.

7 of 10, would kill mystic führers again.***Maybe it was the fact that people got to blow away Nazis. Maybe it was the sheer challenge of it all. For whatever reason, Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny, pioneered the first-person shooter genre and brought its legendary creators, id Software, worldwide notoriety and numerous awards. In fact, The Computer Gaming World Hall of Fame recognized Wolfenstein 3D as helping to shape the overall direction of the computer gaming industry.
[Steam Store]***
[52]***They also released a mission pack titles "The Nocturnal Missions" with three more episodes. Later releases of Wolfenstein 3D would include these mission pack episodes and thus had six episodes instead of only the three original episodes.***Third game in the Wolfenstein series.

1st version published by Apogee. Republished later by Activision Publishing and again by GT Interactive.
[Zerothis]***The first really addictive First-person shooter!

Alone in the Dark  Infogrames;Interplay (I-Motion Interactive)1992[media=youtube]9lWaQe8LPW0[/media]***A suspicious suicide. A chilling curse. A malevolent power. And a wicked dark secret. This is Derceto, legendary Louisiana mansion - where, against your better judgement, you're drawn into a world of shadows to explore the darker side of Jeremy Hartwood's imagination.

Despite a paralyzing sense of personal danger, your quest for truth drives you to investigate the old house. But, you didn't know that by entering Derceto, you'd be plunged into the daily nightmare that was Jeremy Hartwood's life. You weren't prepared for the torturous howls that resound from deep within its halls. You didn't foresee the shadowy corridors that seemingly have no end. You couldn't anticipate the brooding, gloom-filled rooms, the pervasive weight of dread, the heavy sense of evil that fills the atmosphere and the ver house itself.

Had you known, you might have refused your task. But alas, you accepted, and now you must make your way through this spine-tingling adventure alone ... and in the dark.

IPCC Miraculous was heading back for Federation HQ after six months on routine patrol around the Intex Network. Nothing had happened and nothing ever did in this god forsaken place.. Crew members Johnson and Stone were glad to be going home. Then came the orders to check out a remote Space Research Centre which had failed to transmit on any of the Federation wavebands. ISRC-4 was situated near the red-giant Gianor and was the last place they wanted to go...As the crafts retros fired and the craft began it’s approach path,Johnson and Stone prepared for duty, not knowing quite what to expect. There was something strange about the eerie silence that shrouded the station, something was obviously very wrong..Slowly the crafts wings folded and the craft gently docked into shuttle bay 2, they opened the airlocks and walked straight into the midst of an Alien Breed...

DOOM id Software1993[b]npc strife[/b] - they don't do this automatically, but will beat up their allies if subjected to friendly fire. This is a "feature" repeated in many games using the Doom engine.
[b]possessed[/b] - the humans you encounter are controlled by demonic spirits or some such, not zombies or anything.***DoomEd as well as the DOS version of DOOM were developed on a several platforms running NeXTSTEP 3.3. NeXTSTEP's design didn't really care if these systems were 68k, x86, or PPC:[quote=John Romero]In fact, with the superpower of NeXTSTEP, one of the earliest incarnations of DoomEd had Carmack in his office, me in my office, DoomEd running on both our computers and both of us editing one map together at the same time. I could see John moving entities around on my screen as I drew new walls. Shared memory spaces and distributed objects. Pure magic.[/quote]
[Zerothis]***There was also an expansion to Doom called [game=#162120]The Ultimate Doom[/game] that added fourth episode, "Thy Flesh Consumed", into the mix.***Doom launched First-Person shooters as one of the dominant genres in PC gaming(although Wolfenstein 3D had established the genre), and also launched the PC as a viable gaming platform
Superb level design, well-designed weapons and truly frightening atmosphere. The pseudo-3D levels (Doom's engine didn't allow for levels to be multi-layered) were the best looking and immersive of the time and are still enjoyable today.
Also one of the PC's most copied games, its influence rings true in the vast array of First-person shooters. This has been both a blessing and a curse for gamers, as unimaginative and poorly executed Doom-clones swamped release schedules in the mid-to-late 90s.
Doom was originally released as shareware, allowing Doom to gather a massive following very quickly.***My first digital addiction.. pure nostalgia.

Think back and feel the atmosphere again that was hanging around your DOS machine when it was playing those sinister midi files... what a game!
