Today, uchazu brings you one of the few isometric platofmers that were ever made: Whizz.
Whizz is basically a rabbit in a cylinder hat flying in an air baloon that got shot down by some rat with a shotgun. Sounds weird? Go check it out.
The Summer is coming. Ideal for a Summer Challenge, but if you dont like it hot you can play Winter Olympics.
Ermuli submitted Boxshots for both Games. So give him a Cookie and enjoy.
Having a boring sunday? Got no plans for the whole next week? Why not play Bard's Tale? We just unprotected the whole trilogy of this old-school RPG filled with labyrinth-worlds, character recycling and text-based combat.
Bard's Tale - Tales of UnknownMadames et Monsieurs! Je vous presente la version CD du Return of the Phantom, une aventure point-and-click inspirée du roman avec le même titre, écrit par Gaston Leroux en 1910... Just kidding. I'm here to announce that we have replaced the previous disk version with the full CD version (it weighs 113 MB), which adds the most wanted speech. You can still download the disk archive in the extras section.
Now you have all that you need to play the role of Raoul Montand in this gothic adventure and solve the mystery of the ectoplasm that still haunts the Opera House in Paris. They say it was the Phantom of the Opera... You'll have to find the answer by yourself. Let's hear the spectators applause exclusively for Frodo, who offered us this gem of a game.
This is the latest update for Wing Commander, specifically revised for Terran personnel in the Abandonia Sector. The supplement contains four blueprints with specifications on the Confederation ships Hornet, Rapier, Scimitar and Raptor, which the servicemen were urged to familiarize with, because they were the early copy protection information (later it was manual-only). I added them to boxshots as well, just resized to smaller dimensions. The scan manoeuvre was performed by Chris, who has obviously joined Jane's Information Group.
Pacific General is without any doubt one of the best strategy games centered on the War in the Pacific. Featuring all critical missions and a number of what-if scenarios, from both the Axis and the Allies point of view, this game lets you re-experience the war, or even change its outcome. Get on board, cadet! The fate of your nation awaits you!
DKW has brought us this latest part of the 5-Star Series, a sack of ship bisquits is already en route.
For those who cannot tell the games by the tiny pictures and are too lazy to click on each one, here the titles in above order:
Realms
Star Legions
Stunt Island
UMS II - Nations at War
Utopia - The Creation of a Nation
Have a look at all those boxhots (and their games) and become Ermulized (<- that's the guy you should know by now because of the uncountable previous updates of his more or rather less profile-wisely countable contributions).
Finally, a general advice: Play responsibly! ...even if you are overwhelmed by any eccentric celebrations. Website anniversaries are especially dangerous!
Just to show you that a great party must always end with a big Firework Festival, we prepared this Extras Mega-Update. Chris succeeded in transferring a lot of documents from the FTP:
