From a classic game of Solitaire or MooShu (MahJongg) or Foggy Boxes (Dots), to the more obscure Hula Girl or Fisch Stick or Toaster Run, almost any genre craving can be whetted by loading up this Sierra On-Line/Berkeley game. Hula Girl: A timed game of sorts (the screen moves upward and you can't leave the visible area), Hula Girl features none other than a girl with a hula hoop. Grab the cola, cupcakes, ice cream, and hula-hoops while avoiding spiders, broccoli, frogs, and mean sisters. Each platform you land on grabs you one point, but watch your yukk-o-meter! Fish Shtick: Unscramble the letters before the clock reaches 0! Collect as many points as you can and get a high score! One point for four-letter words, two for 5-letter words, three for 6-letter words, etc. Roof Rats: Get everyone off the roof and leave yourself with as few rooms remaining as possible. Eliminate rooms by putting two-or-more of the same colour together and double-clicking. Each person has their own number of floors that they can jump off of. The grannie has to be on ground level, the rat can jump off of 1 floor, the dog - 2 floors, the pogo-boy - 3 floors, the boxing kangaroo - 4 floors, the buff man - 5 floors. Solitaire: No twists here, just a simple game of Klondike. Roger Dodger: You control a glowing orb that needs to collect power-ups (green) and then make its way to the pulsing green gateway. Avoid red things; they'll kill you! Zapper: Standard trivia; yes-or-no questions. Every time you get three-in-a-row correct and your time will increase, as well as the jackpot (third) point level. Mowin' Maniac: Can you say Pac-Man? That's all this game is. Bad Dog 911: Using six letters, create as many words as you can before time runs out! Every real word will move the scaffolding closer to you, but the clock is ticking! When it's half-past and you haven't gotten the scaffolding yet, you die! Toaster Run: Ah, the little toaster that was the first in a series of infamous screen savers. Now the little toaster is on a mission to gather all the toys and put the child in bed. Hitting an object causes the toaster to lose power; bread increases it. Watch out for the TV! The static really hurts! Foggy Boxes: Dots in disguise. Unfortunately, you can only play against the computer. MooShu: The classic game of MahJongg, carried all the way from China! Select two tiles of matching design that are free on either the left or right and they disappear! Win by removing all the tiles.

The game allows for the player to advance through the ages expample.stone age,tool age, bronze age. If the player would rather get away from the historical aspect, the gameoffers a random terrain generator and a custom scenario builder.

This package contains both Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings and Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion, along with some brand new maps as well as 3 recorded games by the masters of AoE, showing you the best strategy to win.

The Conquerors adds five new civilizations, including two from the americas, the Incas and Aztecs. It also adds eleven new units such as the halberdier (an answer to the powerful paladins) and eagle warriors, which are used by the Incas and Aztecs instead of stable units; a unique technology for each civilization including Kataparuto for the Japanese (increases Trebuchet fire rate and pack/unpack speed) and Zealotry for the Saracens (increases hit points for camels and mamelukes); and several new general technologies, such as Bloodlines, which increases the hit points of mounted units, and thumbring, which increases the rate of fire and accuracy of archers. Several game balancing tweaks have been added too, for example janissaries have had their attack increased, and mangonels don't auto attack if some of your units could be hurt.One of the biggest changes, however, is the villager AI has been changed so they now gather after making a drop off building...i.e. after making a lumber camp they will start to chop wood. AOK:TC also adds three new types of play, such as Wonder Race in which the goal is to build a wonder before anyone else.

It's one of the best selling series of its time. Now, finally, the entire Age of Empires set in one box, thanks to the good guys at Microsoft.

There are three distinct ways to play, one of which the object is to hunt and kill the other player(s) king, however there are a lot of options for each, anywhere from what type of map to start on (including coastal, gold rush, arabia, and rivers) to what the maximum amount of units are allowed.

The Age of Sail that the title refers to is a period during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries when tall sailing ships dominated the world's navies. AoS is a real time combat game. You control a tall ship and engage in cannon battles with enemy fleets. Gameplay centers around tactical decisions like selection of ordinance for the cannons, using the wind and maneuvering into position to fire at the enemy. In the campaign mode you start as an Ensign for one of four countries - Britain, Spain, France or the United States - and work your way up through the ranks. There are also about one hundred historical scenarios you can play, most of them taking place during the Napoleonic wars and the War of 1812. Scenarios give you control of multiple ships per battle.

Privateer's Bounty is the second game to bear the name Age of Sail 2.

Enhancements from the original Age of Sail 2 include a brand new pirate campaign, a variety of additional missions and new units; the paddleboat, submarine, hot air balloon, fire ship and bomb ship. The game itself is identical in nature to the previous Age of Sail 2, the premise being 18th and 19th century naval warfare. A variety of battles, both historical and fictional are included as well as a campaign mode that features several different sea-faring countries and factions; England, France, American Revolutionaries and Pirates. Objectives can vary greatly and can include offense or defense of targets on land or at sea, and different types of units are stocked with different levels of firepower, armor, speed and maneuverability. Gameplay itself is achieved on a rotatable and zoom-able isometric map with several of your ships controls and status indicators on top of the graphics.

TURN-BASED, HEROIC-FANTASY STRATEGY-GAME. It looks and feels like a more polished and sophisticated version of Warlords 3, with a few touches of Master of Magic and Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (HMM3). Up to 12 fantasy-races can be put into play in a campaign or stand-alone scenario, from the Elves to the Undead. There is an extensive diplomatic matrix which structures the relationships between those races and their respective leaders (not found in HMM3). There are visually superb global-spells which can be cast on the strategic map, outside of tactical combat, punctuated by weird sound-effects (more extensive than HMM3). Creatures can move around without being led by a hero, so the map eventually crawls with all sorts of strange beings (not found in HMM3). Neutral forces are not always static, as in HMM3: most of them move around and sometimes attack the 12 races. The last two types of factors make this game much more complex and dynamic than HMM3. On the other hand, the interior design and appearance of the castles are much more simplistic and ugly than those found in HMM3. And also, the full tactical-combat display is much less beautiful, especially during the siege of a city. As a compensation, the automatic tactical-combat mode shows a somewhat detailed overview of the combat simulation: it is a worthwhile substitute for impatient gamers, especially in multiplayer encounters. Multiplayer modes available are: Internet (TCP/IP), Internet (via Heat.net), LAN (IPX), play by e-mail, hot-seat (2 to 12 humans on the same machine). Pre-game customization allows the following choices: 5 levels of AI skill (with the 1.2 patch), 5 AI personalities (from very violent to defensive), classic turn-based moves or simultaneous turns, incarnation of the player as the main hero (if he dies, it's game over for that side), selection of the main hero's name, face, and bonus sword-and-sorcery attributes, etc. There are much less maps included than in HMM3, but a great map editor allows the gamer to create new maps, which can have up to 3 geological levels (one or two can be placed undergound, with a much more realistically cramped and dark tunnel-design). As in HMM3 and Master of Magic, heroes are very important. They reach new levels of skill and power with experience and can be equipped with artifacts. But they do have limitations that usually do not allow a solitary hero to overrun a city-garrison all by himself.

After battling through the Age of Empires, it is time to go deeper into the history of mankind, and play in the Ancient cities of the true gods. Choose your scenario from three, the ancient Greeks, the Norse or the Egyptians, and build your new world into a true kingdom fitting for the Gods that your follow. But be wary of the evil that lives around your kingdom, as they wish to destroy you and your God. Many elements of the Empires series feature here, including the many economic options, an epic battle system and random maps. New to the series is a full 3D graphics engine, increasing the level of detail to include certain weather effects and the ability to play during any time of the day or night. During battle, you have the ability to not only lead an army full of hundreds of warriors and mythological creatures of all types, but you can also call on your God to lend a helping hand for a short period of time. Multiplayer maps are also included, allowing all-on-all or ally battles.

Age of wonders 2 : the wizard's throne is about a young wizard named Merlin. The world is unbalanced, and Merlin must fight against other powerful wizards to gain control of all the different Spheres of magic to bring back the balance. This game is the sequel to the original Age of wonders released in 1999. It's a turn based strategy game, and is more like Masters of magic than Heroes of might and magic. Some new features in the game are the Pioneer, which lets you build new cities, and the Teleportation gate that allows your units to teleport to any of your cities. AoW2 is focused on magic. Your leader is a powerful wizard, and for the most part of the game he stays in his Wizard tower, a powerful structure built in cities. Your wizard has a certain range, or Domain, in which he can cast his spells. But of course you still have your heroes, which can carry items and gain experience. There is also a wide variety of units to choose from, everything from the Glutton that can swallow his enemies whole, tho the pretty Nymph that seduces her enemies.

Sequel to the first online multiplayer flight simulator, the legendary Air Warrior. The premise of the game is to offer an extensive collection of WW2 planes to go head to head in multiplayer dogfights with up to 100 pilots at the same time. Though it's main focus is multiplayer gaming this edition of Air Warrior also aims to be a single player success with the addition of 360 pre-made missions sprawled over branched mission tree-like campaigns. Most of the missions take place in Europe but several pacific historical engagements are included, you'll be able to defend Pearl Harbor, make a B-25 raid on Tokyo, try to destroy the Yamamoto as well fighting the battle of Britain, etc. With every mission playable from either the Allied or Axis side.

As a bonus, the game includes a couple of short WW1 and Korean scenarios (with their own planes), four ground vehicles (for multiplayer use only) and a mission editor.

Air Warrior III starts by giving you more of what the series has already. For starters, it includes all of the Air Warrior II missions, planes and features. There's also four new Pacific planes (the Zeke, the Kate, the Val, the Oscar) and 6 new campaigns. Air Warrior III is also the first in the series to support 3D acceleration, providing a lot faster 3D action and effects. A major selling point of the Air Warrior series has been it's online play, and multiplayer play has been completely redesigned. The game box boasts dogfight in historical arenas with up to 250 players in the same mission.

Here is a World War 2 air simulation with a difference. You get to fly model WW2 planes around a house, shooting Mom's best china, attacking the enemy base (in the living room downstairs) or blasting through a window and taking on the enemy in the back garden. The graphics are bold, brightly coloured and really rather good. and there are twenty missions in all. A whole lot of aircraft to fly and a lot of humour ensures that this is not easy to forget.
