Hired Guns

In Albion it is the year 2227, and you take the role of Tom Driscoll, space pilot for the powerful DDT Corporation. DDT has sent a factory ship called the Toronto to harvest minerals and resources from Albion, a newly discovered desert world barren of life but rich in resources. Tom is sent to take some atmospheric readings on the planet, but crash lands after an apparently accidental systems failure of his shuttle. Upon reviving from the accident he is shocked to discover Albion is in fact a rich, life-filled world inhabited by many alien life-forms. It then becomes his task to explore the strange new world and locate the Toronto. His quest becomes even more urgent when it becomes apparent that the AI guiding Toronto is determined to destroy this life-filled world in the name of big business. There are actually two modes in the RPG, 2D and 3D. The 2D mode takes place in the overworld and inside buildings, and is a top-down perspective similar to Ultima 7. Navigation is through the mouse which you can use to move around, and click on things to interact with them. There's also a 3D mode for the villages and dungeons. Combat is turned-based and planned on a 2D 6x6 square grid, and the actual animation occurs in 3D.

Amulets and Armor is a mission-based role playing game. The game comes with a number of missions of varying difficulty levels that you can take in whatever order you choose, or even do over again. They each have four-five chapters, in which you basically explore a dungeon, kill a lot of enemies, grab some new loot, and find the exit. The game's graphics are dated, but the game is actually in full, textured 3d, and the engine does allow you to go 'up and down', as in over a spot where you were before. Enemies and items in the game are 2d sprites. The company that made the game fell apart shortly after its release and no new missions are avalible for the game.
