Games from 1997

Comanche 3 is another release in Novalogic's Comanche series. This time improving the flight model and the graphics. Go around an extremely detailed area and fight the forces of evil. Comanche 3 is a based on America's most technologically advanced helicopter - the RAH-66 Comanche - developed by Boeing Sikorsky for the US Army. The first prototype became airborne only two months ago, and implementation of this 21st century combat chopper won't be until the year 2006. Fortunately, air combat enthusiasts can test-drive the next best thing to this 12 million-dollar aircraft, but don't expect this game to be just the original Comanche with new missions - both graphics and gameplay are leaps and bounds ahead of the simple shooter released almost three years ago.

Creatures is a very innovative game. You start with 6 eggs of Norns. Norns are cute little creatures who live in the Creatures world. Your task is to give them knowledge about the world they live in, learn them how to speak, how to use toys, an elevator, how to eat etc. They grow older, reproduce themselves and die. The world is very huge, and the simulation of the AI is terrific.

Cricket. It?s not a world wide sport and I have to say it can be pretty boring at times. However, it?s one of those sports that?s a bit more relaxing to watch. It?s not like watching a football match (soccer American sports fans) where you?re constantly in danger of a cardiac arrest because your team need one goal to stay in the Premier League. Cricket is a different kettle of fish all together. Cricket matches don?t take hours, they take days. Cricket is all about sitting back and having a rest. As is the nature of cricket, you?ll either be batting or bowling. Batting is handled by the use of the directional keys and two fire button. Pressing various directions performs different shots. To be honest, there seems to be a lot of luck involved. However, if you know your cricket then you?ll love the attention to detail and will spend hours refining your bating skills.

You are a gangster in GTA. You start in one of the three US cities in the game. You get different jobs to do, like stealing cars, helping out at a bank job or killing someone. You can go everywhere in the city and steal almost every car (also trains and tanks). There are crates scattered all over the city which contains bonuses, such as a get out of jail free card or new weapons.
