Games from 1999

A detailed simulation of the Allied strategic bombing campaign against Germany in World War 2. All important industry and military installations in Europe are present. The strategic map ranges from Minsk to the French atlantic coast and from Scotland to North Africa. There are several campaign settings, the longest starts in autum 1943 and ends in spring/summer 1945. The Axis industry is interconnected and all branches depend on each other in some way. This allows the Allied player to choose between various strategies. The German player can influence his aircraft production, even researching new aircraft is possible, thus modifying the availability date of certain planes. Combat is modeled in detail down to the individual plane / pilot. Each pilot can gain experience, has a morale value and a kill rating. The game distincts between day and night combat (night fighters are present, special night fighting tactics can be used). Overall score is measured through damage sustained by the German industry, German towns and the readiness of the Luftwaffe. When the Allied player reaches a certain score, the war will be over (otherwise the campaign will end automatically depending on the scenario chosen).

A brilliant computer real-time strategy/action game from Hothouse Creations which put you into a post-apocalyptic world plague by a deadly virus and an even more deadly alien threat, The Brood. You will take command of an elite squad of eight bio-mechanically enhanced super agents with other more earthly comrades to battle The Brood and their followers, The Faithful, to save the world from a dreadful future... It's like X-COM meets Syndicate Wars, with a wide arsenal of some realistic guns and other super-science-fiction weapons. Engaging gameplay!

Actua Ice Hockey 2 is the follow-up of the official game of the Nagano 1998 Winter Olympics ice hockey tournament, Actua Ice Hockey. Focused on a fictional North American league, with GHL (Gremlin Hockey League) club teams, the game enhances the graphics and gameplay of the previous version. While the game is unlicensed, all teams were inspired by their real NHL counterparts, from team logos to player names (using the classic trick of changing one letter from the name to other phonetically close). Features include three speeds of play, a three-on-three arcade mode with smaller ring, network play and advanced body collision physics. Like NHL Championship (released around the same time), the game adds a coloured track to the puck named GremTrax. Slower shots and passes are coloured green, and faster red (opposite to the blue/red combination used by Fox). Tactics were not forgotten, and the player is able to select the lines, select how and how fast teams build up the attack and are expected to shoot on goal and how to defend. If the player does not feel like controlling everything, tactical decisions can be left to the computer. It's also possible to trade players to balance or keep rosters up to date.

The third and latest in the Actua soccer series with an updated game engine and loads more features.

A collection of eleven coffee-break games, After Dark Games will provide you with hours of addictive fun. 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 box contains Age of Empires and The Rise of Rome expansion disc. Build Roman, Greek, or some other 10,000 years old kingdom with possibility of high-resolution, above 800x600 pixels, and great ancient melodies. It features 3 entirely new campaigns. Command one of 4 available civilizations such as of Carthage or Rome, and take over the world known territory of main importance. Expanding from stone ages to metal and bronze ages gives this game a certain time flow, and your troops automatically upgrade to next level of weapons and armour, as well as your buildings. Develop deadly tactics as you command legions of swordsmen, pikemen, catapults, cavalry, chariots and other higly-detailed units.

In Age of Empires II : Age of Kings (AOK as it is commonly called) you take control of one of thirteen civilizations, including the Chinese, Goths, Britons, and Vikings, amoung others. You start with a handful of villagers and, through expansion and careful handling of your economy, you can advance up to the point where powerful war machines and well trained masses of troops will be at yours to make and control. 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. You can also play online at the Zone vs up to seven other players, or via a TCP/IP connection.

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.

The story takes place in a time when demons are terrorizing the world. Three warriors come together and form a Blood Trinity, vowing to fight demons until the world is safe again. One warrior, Elim, is a noble Korean swordsman. The second, Kusa, is a Japanese sorcerer. The third is a woman, Raening, a martial arts expert skilled in archery. Elim becomes engaged to Shining a beautiful girl who he has to rescue when she is captured by demons. He cannot live with her until the world is free of demons. Kusa carries a box on his back containing the bones and restless spirit of his father. He is sworn to avenge his death and find a way to let his father rest in peace. Raening has to prove that a woman and a princess can be as good a warrior as any man. The warriors travel from village to village helping those beleaguered by demons and fulfilling tasks to help the villagers. As a result of their labors they accumulate money, weapons, and powerful spells. They will need all their skill and experience as they learn the story of the Blood Sword and vow to find it and use it to kill Satan. Sometimes the people you meet and the relationships you forge with them are what will stand you in good stead in the future. Be careful who you are rude to or discard as uninteresting. Appearances can be deceptive and not everyone who offers to help you can be trusted. Again, it is up to you to judge. In the underworld you must come to understand the politics of who is fighting against who and decide which side to join. There are the ex-lieutenants of Satan struggling for independence from Satan while fighting each other, there are the half-breeds part demon part human, and there are the humans some of whom have thrown their lot in with the devils. It is your task to decide who has the knowledge you seek about the Blood Sword, its powers, and its whereabouts.

This is a side-scrolling platformer based on the tv animated show characters. Yakko, Wakko, and Dot have to find some movie classics that have been hidden by Warner Bros. CEO, Thaddeus J. Plotz, as well as missing classic posters and awards. Going through the studio's back lots to an ocean cruiser set, the trio must go through 11 levels with 3D environments ranging from the different areas on the ship to movie sets based on famous films such as 'Jurassic Pickings,' 'Invasion Earth' and 'Frank's Stein.' while avoiding obstacles and enemies along the way. There's three difficulty levels and a powerful boss character in each level must be defeated with the help of some creative weapons.

Third in the Armored Fist series of games that started in 1994. This is more of an action tank game than a simulation. In Armored Fist 3, players command M1A2 Abrams tanks across four campaigns that encompass more than 50 missions of tank combat. As well as controlling your own tank, you have command authority over others The interface is designed to simplify the often-complex game situations. Also includes Internet multiplayer for up to 32 players, on NovaLogic's online gaming service. Gameplay modes include Capture the Flag, Deathmatch and Team Play.

The sequel to the suprise hit Army Men sees Sarge lead his troops back into battle, with more weapons and plenty of hard core, plastic melting action. The top-down war never stops as you take control of the Green army, out to stop the Tan army from taking control of the toy box, using whatever weapon you can find, including the trusty tank and the burn baby burn magnifying glass. All this and added multiplayer fun (4 in all).

Sequel to Axis and Allies (which is included in this version), Iron Blitz again puts you in control of one of five nations (USA, UK, Russia, Germany and Japan) during the times of the second world war. This time, however, IB uses the 3rd edition of the Axis and Allis rules. Some changes improve upon old rules found in the second edition (used in the first PC conversion). Other add new areas to the gameplay - submarines can submerge instead of withdrawing, planes may retreat from amphibious assaults, new naval units may be placed in enemy occupied zones and multiple AA guns may occupy the same territory. And when an aircraft carrier is sunk, its planes may land one space away from the battle. Of course, for those of you who don't like any of the changes, you can turn off the third edtion rules, and play with just the second edition.
