| Golden Axe | Sega | 1991 | The unpatched game will indeed run in Hercules graphics mode but will not run on a Hercules card. The game checks for a CGA card when loading and goes crazy when it doesn't find it. A patch will fix it.*** [52]*** [37]***The game leaves an unused black band on the screen's right edge, this is likely an artifact of very basic platform conversion.***For 1-2 players simultaneously (cooperative or versus).***Supports EGA, 4 color CGA/MCGA/Tandy, Hercules, 16 color Tandy and VGA GPUs.***This has nearly picture-perfect graphics that are nearly on a par with those of the Genesis, but suffers from some slowdowns at times. Its sound is also limited to blips and chirps from the PC speaker and so music is not an option. The year is either 1990 or 1991 as records vary. [b]Trivia[/b] from Mame.dk Golden Axe page 'The kanji [Japanese character] on the title screen actually reads 'Senpu', meaning 'Fighting Axe'. This is an example of 'gikun', where Japanese artists use the phonetic value of a character to determine the game's name, and not the meaning of the character itself.'

| Alcatraz | Infogrames (221B Software Developments) | 1992 | Alcatraz has already sheltered the biggest mafia gangsters, but not one as ruthless as the boss of the drug cartel, Miguel Tardiez, who took refuge with his men in the former prison. Your mission consists of capturing the dealers, burning all the stocks and destroying the secret laboratories... There, where all the others have failed, you must be successful. In case of problems, do not count on anybody to help you. - SONORIFIC GAME PLAY - 1 OR 2 PLAYERS SIMULTANEOUSLY - 100 % DANGER | labelimagesubject |
| Alien Breed: Tower Assault | Team17 (Team17;East Point Software) | 1994 | The floppy version is severely stunted port with much of the game's features and content missing. Ported to DOS by East Point. | labelimageminimize |
| Threat | Game Factory (Fragment) | 1995 | For 1-3 players, one can use a joystick while the rest (or all if no joystick is available) play on the same keyboard. | labelimageminimize |
| Tyrian | Epic Megagames (Eclipse Productions) | 1995 | For 1-2 players.***A great overhead shootem up in which the player flys a choice of many different futuristic planes/crafts. If you can imagine Raptor with good gfx, amazing weapons, great enemies, and gameplay that is actually FUN and replayable, you understand the full scope of Tyrian. In my opinion it is the best computergame of all time (and yes, I've played Doom and HL and over 160 other games). | labelimageminimize |
| Baldur's Gate: Edition spéciale | Interplay Productions | 1998 | labelminimizeminimize | |
| Tyrian 2000 | Epic Megagames (Eclipse Productions) | 1999 | For 1-2 players.***Tyrian was re-released in 1999 as Tyrian 2000 with fifth episode, a number of bug fixes and windows support. It was later made freeware (in 2004), as well as its source code and graphics were made available under open source licenses in 2007. Althought the original source code (in Pascal) is not available, the OpenTyrian project has the Pascal-converted-to-C source code available under GNU Public License. | labelimageminimize |
