Games from 1999

The dirty 1/2 dozen are back, in all new dark. Ready for more covert operations, and secret missions. The new technologies are ready to be destroyed, and the nazi forces are now tougher than ever. Their guards are now trained for that commando scum. First time there were uneasy to sneak in, this time, it's impossible to sneak out. Will you come in?

In the world of Amagar, a magical spell has caused a disasterous solar eclipse. In its wake come the return of the Dark Elves. As the Chosen One, your job is to destroy the Dark Elves and bring sunlight back to your land. This is a Tomb Raider-style hack-and-slash in a medieval setting. You've got the choice of three separate characters: Jetrel the Warlock, Kite the Trickster, and Nanoc the Gladiator. The character you select has a greater effect on the game than just what you look like and what attacks you can do. The levels also vary. In the levels themselves, you'll find items that only your character can use, but then again, you'll also find some power-ups that are useless.

Premier League Stars is football game from EA released just a few months before FIFA 2000. The two games are quite similar but Stars is a bit more pacey and more action than the more realistic FIFA. Whereas FIFA has several leagues the Stars game has focused on the English Premier League and it is full licensed with all the real clubs, kits, stadiums and players. The most unique feature in Stars is that it is using the Stars concept which means that you collect stars when winning matches, scoring goals and similar. The stars could be used to improve the players in different skills such as passing, shooting and tackling.

This time, you come to Black Mesa facility as Adrian Shephard, a military colonel that has a simple, and yet very opposing job, to clean all the mess scientists left behind. Things quickly go badly for Corporal Shephard and his men, as they fell in an alien trap. Will you survive and reach the extraction point, you'll soon find out yourself. Of course, you'll need your original Half-Life game to complete this task and get to know alien weakness.

The racing game has always been a tough nut to crack for developers. Those seeking success must choose between ultimate realism or all-out fun. Sony Interactive's Gran Tourismo on the Playstation doesn't have the greatest graphics in the world, yet the game's solid physics engine and accurate car models captured the hearts of racing enthusiasts throughout Japan, Europe and the US. Likewise the fiery explosions and massive jumps found in Midway's San Francisco Rush caused the title to leap onto several platforms, including the PC and Nintendo64. A compromise between the two leads to mediocrity. Even though they're English, the boys at Liverpool based Rage Software are no dummies. Their upcoming title, Midnight GT Racing, will feature accurate physics and car models. Rage has already acquired licenses for the BMW M-Roadster, the Toyota Supra Turbo, the Toyota MR-2 Turbo and the Acura NSX with more to come. Each car should handle like its real world counterpart. The number of tracks that will be available in the final version is currently unknown, however Rage has developed two solid road courses to date. The finished product should have varying times of day, despite the game's title, and variable weather effects as well. If Rage Software maintains their focus on the realism of Midnight GT Racing, then they can add another notch on their bedpost of successful PC titles.
