Angst: Rahz's Revenge	Tewi	1996
Bud Tucker in Double Trouble	Merit Studios;Topware Interactive (Merit Studios)	1996	This wacky adventure puts you in the shoes of Bud Tucker, a pizza delivery boy who also has a job as a lab assistant during the nights. The story involves some fantastic features, mad scientist and robots. One day, Bud found the Professor missing and later learns he's been kidnapped by the evil Dick Tate. Tate, an insane, whiny sob wishes to create a world filled with the people he loves most...himself. To do that, he plans to use one of the Professor's inventions and clone a billion versions of himself to populate the world. It's up to Bud Tucker to track down the loon and the Professor before Barryville becomes Tate Town. It's a point & click adventure where you must travel to various locations in Barryville and find clues and help from the citizens there. The game play consists of picking up items and using them when necessary. There are 3 parts in the game and in the first part, Bud Tucker is locked up in a crumbly hotel in Seedy Street. Speech is available in the game as well as subtitles. The menu (pick up, use, etc) can be displayed in words as well as icons. This cartoon adventure is sadly little known because Eidos cancelled its plan to distribute the game in the U.S... probably due to poor sales in Europe, which is probably due to lack of marketing. Because: it's a fun and solid game in every respect with a wacky plot, though disappointingly short.*** [84]
Dig It!	cdv Software Entertainment (Pixel Painters)	1996
Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?	Psygnosis (Perfect Entertainment)	1996	Death, the grim reaper, who normally ushers the Discworld inhabitants into the afterlife, is on an extended vacation. This means that those whose "time is up" are faltering around in limbo. Now it's up to Rincewind to bring him back or suffer the fate of immortality. Gameplay is divided into 4 Acts. There are many locations to explore and a multitude of obstacles in Rincewind's path to overcome. Conversations with characters and interaction with inventory objects is necessary to move ahead. The game features unique humour similar to the previous game.*** [84]
Dunkle Schatten 2: Im Netzwerk gefangen	Bundesministerium des Innern (The Art Department)	1996	This German adventure (which means Dark Shadows 2: Trapped in the network) is the sequel to the adventure Dunkle Schatten, also published by the German Federal Ministry of Interior as part of the FAIRSTÄNDNIS campaign against racism and violence. The game's a point-and-click adventure with an interface reminding of the later Sierra adventures. It is greatly improved over the first part as it now uses SVGA screen resolution. The story is set two years after the first. You again play as Karsten who this time has to deal with Neonazis defacing the memorial stone for a long dead, Jewish town mayor. And some classmate of his seem to be involved as he distributes Nazi computer games...
Fable	Sir-tech Software;Telstar Electronic Studios (Telstar Electronic Studios;Simbiosis Interactive)	1996	Fable is a classical puzzle-solving graphic adventure with hand-drawn backgrounds. The hero Quickthorpe is a young man who must leave his home village and travel through four fantasy worlds, each dedicated to a particular element. The goal of the journey is to find four mystic gemstones in order to learn about the secrets of an extinct race known as Mecubarz, and help his people with this knowledge. Interaction with the environment is done by clicking on an object and selecting available actions. Puzzles are for the most part inventory-based. Wrong choices may lead to the hero's death and a premature end of the game.* [58]*Not related to the game by Lionhead Studios. Requires 486/66, 8MB, 2X CD-ROM, SVGA, mouse, soundblaster, DOS 5.0+, runs under Win95 and DOSBox, does not run under WinXP.
Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail!	Sierra	1996	his game in the popular comic adult adventure series featured more fleshed-out, cartoon style graphics and full voice acting. It was the sixth installment (due to the fourth game never being completed. It was the last Larry game created by Al Lowe. After many of the Larry games had gained a reputation for not actually featuring all that much raunchy content when analysed, this installment included some much more risque elements. It was the first game since the third to pick up immediately where its predecessor left off; typically, it features Larry getting dumped by the woman who represented the ultimate goal of Larry 6, Shamara. The formula was much the same as the previous games: the "twist" was that Larry was a passenger on a cruise ship populated by parodies of famous people. Various other pop icons were parodied in the background, such as the Archie Comics gang playing nude volleyball, various incarnations of James Bond in the ship's casino, a Sierra staffer dressed as Sailor Moon, and porn icon Ron Jeremy walking around naked. The plot revolves around Larry's attempt at winning a weekly contest held on the ship by Captain Thygh, a gorgeous blonde. The player must come up with a variety of ways to cheat in each of Larry's assigned competitions so that he can get the highest score and win the contest. Among Larry's chosen competitions are a cooking contest, a "best dressed" contest, a game of horseshoes, bowling, the sexual prowess contest and others. It was also the first Larry game to include a full-fledged minigame: by collecting hidden red-and-white-striped dildos, the player could unlock high quality pin-up desktop wallpapers of the ladies in the game. Players could also "appear" in the game by placing voice samples of selected dialogue and a digitized photo in a particular directory (the default was Al Lowe).* [84]* [65]*** [58]
Mutation of J.B.	TopWare Interactive;LK Avalon (Invention)	1996	You control a young boy called Johnny Burger who plans to visit his cousin Emanuel for two weeks. As he arrives he finds him gone. A scientist, who's also looking for Johnny's cousin, comes by and offers Johnny 500DM (Deutsche Mark) for an experiment. Of course, the experiment goes awry. During the procedure a mysterious guy flashes the scientist's memory. The emerging irritation causes the professor to start pushing random buttons, which results in Johnny's transformation as a human pig. After Johnny wakes up the professor is gone, too, as he was kidnapped to the Planet Ladea. So, Johnny's quest comprises of finding the professor to be transformed back into a normal state and finding out what happened to Emanuel.*** [65]
Nemesis: The Wizardry Adventure	Virgin Interactive (Sir-tech Software)	1996	Players control as an seemingly unremarkable peasant who was minding his own business when [spoiler=when someone;close spoiler]the society of Nitherin Mages[/spoiler] sent a fowl beast in an attempted kidnapping. A good wizard completely deck-out for battle just happened to be watching over the peasant while standing in a tiny boat in a nearby water (hmmm), and foiled the kidnapping. The High Council knows of the group responsible but not the reason, nor why they have such a specific target. The unremarkable present is charged to investigate and stop them. Individual item skill is gained by using said item. Spells can be learned. For battle, commands are selected and the player then clicked on the target. There is a great deal of talking to be done to complete the investigation. There are many puzzle to be solved. All done with the mouse or keyboard shortcuts. Conceived as a complex real-time adventure game with dialog and combat but with contrastingly simplified interface that is still "more than click-click-click". It does not take place in the same Universe as the main Wizardry series and gameplay has nothing in common with the main Wizardry series (even critics who loved the game gave it poor ratings for calling it "Wizardry").* [84]* [65]
Net:Zone	GameTek	1996
Orion Burger	Eidos (Sanctuary Woods)	1996	The intergalactic fast-food chain Orion Burger uses the services of an alien meat-supplier named Zlarg, who only cares for money and doesn't have much in a way of conscience. So his next genius plan is to use the inhabitants of the planet Earth, known as "humans", as a raw, protein-rich material for the tasty burgers. However, interstellar law forbids using sentient creatures as meat. Every raw ingredient has to pass specific tests for sentience. Zlarg knows it, and he rigs the tests in such a way that no creature can pass it. Enter Wilbur Wafflemeier, an ordinary guy who is about to be grilled... in more than one way. Somehow, the unlikely hero has to find a way to pass the tests... Orion Burger is a traditional puzzle-solving adventure with cartoon-like 2D graphics. It uses verb commands "Take", "Use", and "Talk" for interaction with the environment. The game consists of five tests, each of them requiring Wilbur to explore his home town, talk to people, gather inventory items, and solve tricky puzzles in order to succeed and qualify as a sentient being.* [84]* [58]
Swigridova Kletba	JRC Interactive (Agawa)	1996
Toonstruck	Virgin (Burst Entertainment)	1996	Toonstruck 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.* [84]* [58]
Anvil of Dawn	New World Computing (DreamForge Intertainment)	1995	[b]Minimum[/b] * DOS 5.0 or greater * 486/33 CPU * 4 MB RAM * 5 MB free HD space * 2X CD-ROM drive * Mouse [b]Recommended:[/b] * 486/66 CPU * 30 MB free HD space*The game's unusual in the manner that although you select one of the five heroes to play as in the beginning, you get to meet the other four in your travels. The choice of hero mostly affects the voice-overs (and dialog with it) and appearance, attributes are freely customizable if you so desire.*The game was apparently re-released in 2007/01 with Windows XP support. Unable to verify this currently, though.
Full Throttle	LucasArts	1995	One minute you're on the road, riding. Not a care in the world. Then some guy in a suit comes along, says he's got a deal for you and your gang. But when you come to, you've got a lump on your head, the law on your back, and a feeling in your gut that the road you're on is about to get a lot rougher...* [22][media=youtube]ZHwNF9nhPsI[/media]**A cinematic-heavy 1995 adventure game from LucasArts. It's like a cool animated biker movie. The game doesn't have a tremendous amount of replay value, but it's so intensely cool the first time around I can forgive it. The combination 3D rendered animations and hand-drawn characters and backgrounds (really cool in 1995) is pulled off well, and the storyline and voice acting is superb. The game uses the venerable SCUMM engine for the adventure portions, and a variation on the Rebel Assault engine for its (fairly easy) action-oriented biking/fighting scenes. Watch for Mark Hamill in three different roles, including that of lead villian Adrian Ripburger, the evil second-in-command of Corley Motors.
Darkseed II	Cyberdreams (Destiny Media Technologies)	1995	Dark Seed II continues the nightmare of Mike Dawson as he recovers from a nervous breakdown from his earlier encounters with the Ancients. Back in his hometown, Mike's high school sweetheart, Rita, is found murdered after the high school reunion. Unfortunately, Mike cannot remember much about that night, even though others saw him with Rita. Now, as the prime suspect, he must find a way to prove his innocence. The designs of H.R. Giger are pivotal in this horror-tinged point 'n click adventure. Players will be swapping between the Normal World and the Dark World, with 75 prerendered 3D locations in total. There are 40 characters to interact with. The goal is to overthrow the Behemoth of the Dark World and cut through the corruption of the Normal World. Movement, action and dialogue interaction modes are toggled between using the right mouse button, with the full screen used for location display unless the game menu or inventory bars are called into use.
Die Höhlenwelt Saga: Der Leuchtende Kristall	Software 2000 (Weltenschmiede)	1995	After a series of German interactive fiction games (Das Stundenglas, Die Kathedrale, Hexuma), Harald Evers and his Weltenschmiede move on to point-and-click graphic adventures. Die Höhlenwelt Saga embeds a fantasy underworld in a science fiction frame. Starship pilot Eric "Speedy" MacDoughan traces his lost love, mysterious Maomi, to the barren planet 2S-126 in the Taurus 5 system, to discover that a network of caves leads to a gigantic cave world far beneath the crust - the Höhlenwelt ("cave world"). Down there, flying dragons and humanoid peoples live on a magical-medieval level under the despotic rule of an alien reptile race called Drakken. Eric meets the artificial being Cal (a deja vu for Hexuma players), who sends him to the cave world to retrieve a powerful energy crystal (the Leuchtende Kristall ("glowing crystal") from the game's title). And find Maomi, of course. Die Höhlenwelt Saga is a pretty straight-forward, inventory-driven point-and-click adventure game. Once Eric befriends a flying dragon named Susi (yes, Susi), he's free to explore the key places on the cave world continent of Veldoor at leisure, though the game's puzzles are strictly linear nevertheless. The game is entirely in German and was published in Germany only. The CD version of Die Höhlenwelt Saga features voice-overs for the intro and narrator sequences, but character dialogues stay text messages.
Discworld	Psygnosis (Teeny Weeny Games)	1995	One of the most underrated adventure games ever, Discworld is based on Terry Pratchett's pun-filled fantasy Discworld series, in which the whole world is carried through space by a turtle, and idioms and puns do have a life of their own. As bumbling wizard Rincewind, prevent the Dragon from destroying the world. The game has great humor (although dialogues drag on at times), and some of the most devious but logical puzzles ever designed. Famed Monty Python veteran Eric Idle's performance as the voice of Rincewind is flawless, although some dialogues are very long-winded to the point of frustrating. Clever puzzles and hilarious animations, however, more than make up for it. Highly recommended for Pratchett fans and fans of zany adventure games in general.*** [22]
Flight of the Amazon Queen	Renegade Software;Warner Interactive Entertainment (Interactive Binary Illusions)	1995	It is 1949 and you play Joe King, pilot for hire with his small private plane the "Amazon Queen". The game is a spoof of old time adventure serials. After yet another daring escape at the start of the game, Joe suddenly remembers that he is scheduled to fly the famous movie star, Faye Russell, to a photo shoot in the Amazon jungle the next morning. But when he arrives at the hotel to pick her up, his arch rival Hans Anderson of Flying Dutchman Airlines locks him in the room. Finding a way out, he takes off with Miss Russell only to have his plane get hit by lightning and crash in the Amazon jungle. Now he will have to face some horrible challenges to survive: 6 feet tall 'pygmies', beautiful Amazon women (and their happy prisoners!), misguided missionaries, a wisecracking parrot, and of course a mad scientist, who's trying to take over the world by injecting dinosaur DNA into the women. This is a long, 3rd person, point & click game, with easy to use icons for action, a small inventory, and a brilliant map. The music is upbeat and changes with each location, the graphics are imaginative and colorful, with careful attention to often-hysterical details (Aztec temple statues holding baseball bats!), and the short animated cut scenes used to advance the story are a pure delight to watch. The puzzles are crazy, absorbing and fun (wearing fake breasts, bartering with a pygmy), and are usually solved by clues you have picked up in conversations and/or with inventory items. Most are not too difficult, but they do get harder as you go along. The CD-ROM version also offers surprisingly good voice acting - a rare treat in adventure games. It was made freeware on Mar 16/2004 when the source code was kindly given to the ScummVM team who then made it fully compatible with their engine.* [22][media=youtube]eLlwLxuDGr8[/media]**Unlike the Amiga version, the DOS port of the game had full speech in it.
Heaven's Dawn	Manacom (Art 9 Entertainment)	1995	Uncover a world threatened by divine punishment in Heaven's Dawn, a mesmerizing 3rd person fantasy adventure! Play as Jeremy, a New Yorker unexpectedly thrust into a land cursed by its own creators, the Gods. Brought to life through a painter's easel, your quest to lift the curse is woven with puzzles, mini-games, and a captivating story set in a realm fading into oblivion. Navigate through time and dimensions, discover the history of King Drew III and his daughter Cassandra, and save mankind from impending doom. Heaven's Dawn brings to you an interactive, scrollable inventory and a handy notebook for your quests. Enjoy the atmospheric music, sound effects, and voice-overs while overcoming limited save slots. A game that challenges, enchants, and immerses you in a hauntingly beautiful world - Heaven's Dawn awaits.
Hilfe für Amajambere	Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (The Art Department)	1995	Paul is a development aid worker in an African village called Amajambere. Since his popular predecessor has fallen ill, Paul steps in for him and tries to implement his concept. The problem is that the villagers don't cooperate and an important delivery goes missing.
In the Dead of Night	Trecision	1995	In one of the better but sadly less-known shareware games, you are private investigator Tom Scool. You have been hired by a dishonest jewel collector to sneak into a famous actress' chalet, posing as the double of well-known thriller writer Eric Wells, and to steal her precious gem "Vesnú". But the actress was killed by one of her guests and because of snowstorm you have to wait for police and try to solve this murder case by yourself. Every character has their own personality and you have to find their weakest places, talking to all of them and collecting the items which are available for your inventory. The game sports some good puzzles, believable characters, and an excellent plot. Overall, an atmospheric game that could easily have sold as a commercial game, and boded well for Trecision's later adventure games, including the outstanding Nightlong.
Kajko i Kokosz	Mirage Software (Seven Stars Multimedia)	1995	A pair of inseparable friends - smart, short, yet brave Kajko and his buddy, big, bald, fat, strong & gluttonous Kokosz - must face again the notorious Zbojcerze (Rogueknights) and their evil plot set to conquer the peaceful village of Mirmilowo. The early medieval setting and fantasy themes resemble "Asterix & Obelix". Kajko i Kokosz is a classic point & click adventure game, based on a popular Polish comic book series featuring the same characters. You can switch between the two characters at will, and some actions have to be done with a specific character. The controls are pretty simple - to interact with the environment, you just have to click. You have a limited space in your inventory, but you can take an object from your inventory and drop it anywhere at any time. The game graphics feature original artwork created by the creator of the series, Janusz Christa, thus retaining the "look & feel" of the comic books.
Realms of Chaos	Apogee Software	1995	Lead the bravest couple of "Mysteria" through their biggest adventure. Free the people from vile creatures and destroy the source of all evil. The game features 26 levels, 4 Endbosses + 1 Extra-Boss. The first part/episode of the game is shareware.
Shannara	Legend Entertainment	1995	RONA the ancient Warlock King has returned! Slain decades ago, Brona's evil spirit has come back to wreak revenge upon those who killed him. Now, on the combined magic of the races can destroy him. You are Jak Ohmsford. Only you can overcome the ancestral hatreds that divide the Four Lands, and only you can wield the magic that will defeat Brona. It is your destiny to save your homeland -- but the price of destiny is far higher than you could have ever imagined. This multimedia adventure features more than 30 speaking actors and tells a new story with the characters and settings of the #1 best selling fantasy series in the world today.*** [84]
Simon the Sorcerer II - The Lion, The Wizard & The Wardrobe	Adventure Soft	1995	A sequel to Simon the Sorcerer, this second game in the series gives us more mis-adventures from our teenaged sorcerer (of some sort). Thrown into another dimension by his own wardrobe, Simon starts the heroic mission (of some sort) to find -another wardrobe that could get him back home. Equipped with his pointy sorcerer's hat (of some sort), he will also rescue the world (again) from the evil Sordid. It's a point-and-click adventure in a style similar to the first Simon game, only technologically improved. The two games in the series are of the most charming low-profile games ever that have captured many an adventurer's heart. It has difficult but fair puzzles, witty dialogues, and inimitable self-effacing humor and charm. A couple of things are new: the word commands (like 'talk to' and 'look at') have been replaced by Icons (a Magnifying Glass and a Mouth), and some scenes can be scrolled now, so make sure you always check the edges of every screen for new locations.* [22]*[media=youtube]_3PQnmcD_G8[/media]
Space Quest 6: Roger Wilco in The Spinal Frontier	Sierra On-Line	1995	This game was the last to be released in the Space Quest series. It ran on the last version of the SCI engine, SCI32. This allowed it to use Super VGA graphics with 256 colors at 640×480 resolution. Unlike other SCI games, it didn't have the interface in a pull down bar at the top of the screen, but instead used a "verb bar" window along the bottom of the screen, similar to LucasArts' SCUMM engine. The graphics style was also more cartoonish than in previous games. Gary Owens served as narrator once again. Having defeated the diabolical pukoid mutants in Space Quest V, Captain Roger Wilco triumphantly returns to StarCon headquarters - only to be court-martialed due to breaking StarCon regulations while saving the galaxy. He's busted down to Janitor Second Class, and assigned to the SCS DeepShip 86 (a parody of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), commanded by Commander Kielbasa, a Cowardly Lion look-alike whose name is taken from the polish sausage as well as being a play on the names of both the feline Kilrathi from the computer game series Wing Commander and of the character Mufasa from the animated motion picture The Lion King. His voice is a parody of Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The game's subtitle comes from the final portion, in which Roger has to undergo miniaturization and enter the body of a shipmate and romantic interest. Josh Mandel designed the majority of Space Quest 6 (with Scott Murphy on-board in a "creative consultant" capacity) but had to leave the project shortly before completion due to internal strife with Sierra. As an additional result of this change in designers, some puzzles - primarily in the latter stages of the game - were shoddily implemented due to lack of communication. Note that the level demo contains new content and puzzles not found in the retail game.* [22]*2009-07-23 on Steam, by Activision (lang: eng)
Touché: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer	U.S. Gold;Mirage (Clipper Software)	1995	Geoffroi Le Brun, ensign in His Majesty’s musketeers, arrives in the middle of the night in 16th century Rouen, France, to start his new posting at the musketeer headquarters. At the moment he arrives, the unfortunate Comte d’Itee, William de Peuple, is attacked by bandits and his precious will is stolen. Geoffroi offers him, just before he dies, his assistance to find his will. Of course, getting it back will not be easy, and he must travel back and forth across France to accomplish his quest, visiting the cities of Amiens, St Quentin, Le Mans, Paris, and Le Havre. However, he is assisted by a clever manservant, called Henri, who will be a great help, without any doubt. With some luck, he will hunt the murderer(s) down and find the will. And who knows, maybe he will meet a beautiful lady or find a fortune on the way. Touché: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer is a humorous, inventory-based point and click adventure game. By right-clicking on a hotspot a context-sensitive action interface pops up, showing the relevant actions. The game is a full talkie with captions, music and sound effects. It features a progressive traveling map, which allows to visit new locations after having solved various puzzles.* [58]*The Polish version appeared in 1997, about one and a half years after the games release. It has English voice-overs, only text is Polish.
Dragon Lore: The Legend Begins	Mindscape (Cryo Interactive)	1994	This is a game with pretty graphics from Cryo. Werner Von Hallenrod, having reached eighteen, sets off to prove himself worthy of joining the Dragon Knights, and incidentally discover the truth about his father's death. He needs votes from current Knights to be accepted. Some Knights exhort him to be bloodthirsty, others to take the path of wisdom (nonviolence). One refreshing character will accept a bribe in return for a positive vote. A bar graph measures Werner's actions, growing towards violence or wisdom depending on his actions in certain circumstances. There are no conversations, only monologues from NPC's, as Werner never speaks in any way. Perhaps he should have been christened Noel, the Silent Knight. Whatever, Werner heads out, kills some monsters, picks up a few spells, and finally arrives at Von Wallenrod castle. The rest of the game is taken up with a scavenger hunt in the castle, finding various objects and figuring out what to do with them. Some items are not easy to see, and every room must be scanned thoroughly to ensure not missing something important. While there is some fighting, it is similar to Alone In The Dark. Werner has no stats or skills, only a bar measuring his life force. Combat is simply equipping a weapon and bashing away, hoping you can outlast the monster. Magic is minimal. Two spells are one-time-only; fireball can be handy, if you have time to bring up the runes for it. Teleport, when finally obtained, allows Werner to move around the castle easily, and later the countryside, when he receives the magic map. This is the best feature of the game.* [22]*Your task is to become a Dragon Knight and take revenge of your father's murderer. The game features 2 CDs full of graphics and rendered-sequences. Astonishing for a game that has been released late 1994/early 1995.

Abenteuer Europa	SPD (EgoSoft)	1994	With this point-and-click adventure the SPD political party in Germany tried in 1994 to recruit people for its party program and win the election. However, completely contrary to this adventure, they did not succeed in real life. Fred Beck, reporter of a strictly non-capitalist paper is stumbling through Europe, supposedly hunting for the story about a conspiracy of evil drug-traders and and the garbage-mafia.
Adult Film Cameraman	Interactive Girls Club	1994	A program coming across as somewhat nonsensical in absence of a certain context, this piece of software puts its operator in the position of the cameraman of an adult film. What this amounts to is viewing one of three softcore pornographic colour still images through a small (viewfinder) window, panning across the image with mouse movements and zooming in or out with the buttons. The player can press R to record so that later on, the game can reproduce the particular combination of camera moves (or: their "adult film") for the enjoyment of the viewer.
