Welcome to The House of Games
This site is dedicated to bringing you all those great games from the past which are now known as abandonware or abandongames. You'll find reviews, screenshots, solutions and more. Also many games were released for
multiple systems and if they are available we'll put them on the site as well.
I vowed to complete every game on this site so games might not be added as quickly as other sites but it does
mean you are sure that the games are in complete working order.
Now run along and check out those games :p
Happy gaming to all.

Three months |
| You can't imagine the amount of things happening right now, selling my house,
buying a new one, preparing to move and all. Not too mention all other stuff like
work and many other things that have prevented me from doing updates. Since I
haven't moved yet to my new house I'm not sure when the next update will be but
I'll try not to wait as long as this one. Since time was in short supply I played
an platform game called Yo! Joe!
where you play as Joe or Nat trying to stop an evil gang from locking up an oracle.
Fight your way across six vastly different levels and play a flying minigame in
between to gain lives. The game is quite short but everything is done very well
so at least you'll have a good time while it does last. |

Finally an update |
Jikes! it's been two months since the last update which is the longest the site has gone without one.
There was a very good reason though, two months ago we heard my company was going to restructure our departmant and
we knew there were some people who were going to be let off.
I forced myself to study fast and hard to get some certificates which I had been pushing forward somewhat.
I was quite pleased to finally get my certificate for Microsoft Certified IT Professional: enterprise admin 2008 which
should give me a good chance to at least stay where I am now.
Today I had my talk with the managers and all and I was pleasantly surprised because not only could I stay but I even
got a promotion because of my hard work! Pfff what a busy two months it's been but I can relax a bit now.
Now that my job's fine I can finally add another game!
Z-out is the sequel to X-out,
which are both scrolling shooters not unlike the famed R-type. X-out was a lot
more unique though taking place underwater and letting you buy different ships
and weapons and letting you arrange them the way you wanted. Z-out removes all
of that and is a more straightup shooter, sadly this means it's nowhere near as
good as the first game. It's not bad just not great like X-out, why not try both
and see for yourself. |

8 manuals |
It's been a while since I added manuals so that's what I did, 8 manuals to be exact.
Persian Gulf inferno -
Terrorists treathen to blow up an oil rig and you are the only one who can stop them.
Millenium 2.2 - A strategy game where you are send to colonize another system after earth
has been rendered uninhabitable however aliens are there trying to do the same thing.
Oil imperium - Drill for black gold all around the world and make a fortune, a great
business game with arcade sections.
Katakis - A fun scrolling shooter like R-type.
Jimmy White's wirlwind snooker - A snooker sim featuring Jimmy 'Whirlwind' White. Not much of a looker but great gameplay
Gold of the Aztecs - An incredibly difficult arcade game where you
go after the Aztec treasure and try to make it out alive. Try completing this without a trainer, I did and it gave me
great satisfaction when I finally did!
Escape from Colditz - Control four P.O.W. and try to
escape from the German prison during WW2, great fun dispite the setting.
Dinopark tycoon - Build your own zoo filled with dinosaurs! |

Weekend |
Thank goodness it's weekend because I really need it. It's not I can relax and stuff because I have things to do in the
weekend as well. I was barely to make an update but it's here so enjoy.
It's no fun in the future if you are disruptive to society because you are sent
to far away planets to explore but what they don't tell you is that they often
sabotage your ship. Now stranded on this unknown planet you must find a telepatic
woman calling for you as you need each other to escape. Robinson's
requiem is an RPG but with a lot of freeroaming and realism. You can get
sick from many different things apart from the creatures wanting a piece of you.
It's pretty unique because if a limb get infected you can actually amputate it
to save yourself, nasty stuff. This game is fairly unique and though it has some
issues overall it's well worth your time. |

gotta move |
I have to run to pick up my little girl so here's todays update.
Voodoo nightmare is an action
adventure game in which you must run around the jungle collecting pins that you
can use on a voodoo doll of an evil witch doctor. He has put a mask on you covering
your whole upper body and there is no way to remove it without him. You will have
to figure your way through five dungeons and the jungles in between to stop this
voodoo nightmare.
Highly enjoyable stuff this and some nice touches in gameplay so well worth it. |

certification |
I wasn't able to do an update last week because I had an exam, unfortunately my job requires me to sometimes get updated
with that kind of stuff. I passed though so that was quite good and a bit of a relief. This weekend I'm gonna look
for some new games to relax a bit but for now here's an update.
Zeewolf is an action shooter in
which you fly a helicopter up against impossible odds in order to retrieve plans
for a fusion reactor which was stolen by a large rival coorperation. As a mercenary
you get payed for completed missions and enemies you take out but you have to
be carefull not to use to much ammo and missiles because you have to pay for those
yourself. The games has completely 3D vector graphics which are not too detailed
but runs very smoothly, there's action as well as plenty of strategy. What more
can you ask for. |

Zombies galore |
| I've been watching a number of zombie movies lately among them survival of the dead, the crazies (the new one) and some others. I thought it would be cool to add a game that had something to do with the genre so I dug up this game called zombie apocalypse which sounds exactly like the game is. It's a firstperson shooter with loads of zombies coming at you and you only have a big gun and some grenades at your disposal. Occasionally you can find some more ammo and grenades among all the baddies coming at you. The game is quite basic with one level consisting of one screen and there isn't much variety at all. Still it was programmed by a single bloke and released in the public domain so given that it isn't that bad and you can get some practice when the real zombie apocalypse happens. |
