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.

What! No update? |
| Hmmm it's already the end of the month and I only did one update so far... well I guess this is also still within the month by an hour haha. Well the game I added is called outlands which is a srolling shooter with a simple story about aliens wiping out most of humanity and you are their last and only hope. It has all the stuff you would expect like powerups and a such and there is also a two-player simultanious mode. Unfortunately that's basically it, nothing new here just a regular shooter I'm afraid so unless you really like that sort of thing there are better shooters out there.

happy new year! |
First off I wish everybody a very happy new year, a bit late I know but still.
Wow things have been rather hectic this year, lot's of things happening for me and such but I can't tell what exactly just yet. I am also planning a servermove because my current provider might be quitting in the near future, ah well we will see I've got a backup plan in the works.
As for the update I found some manuals which I added, here they are:
A scanned manual for Heart of China, a first person adventure game from Dynamix.
A scanned manual for Law of the west, a game in which you play a sheriff of a wild west town.
Text manuals for Yes prime minister!, made after the tv series, and The saga of Erik the Viking a text adventure game.
Also a minimanual for Hunchback, but hey a simple game doesn't need too big a manual anyway.

Merry Christmas |
| First of all I wish everybody a merry Christmas even though I'm a day late. I think this will be the last update for this year so I added an adventure game, one of my favorite genres of old and almost retired these days. Return of the Phantom is based on the famous play/book and at the night of the opening things start to unfold just like in the play with a chandelier falling on the audience. You'll have to investigate but soon you'll find that it's no accident and the phantom is actually running around the place! It's up to you to stop him once and for all. The game's pretty good altough a bit on the easy side but still worth checking out. |

Two more weeks |
Only two more weeks till the end of the year, my how quickly the time has passed hasn't it.
I was send a manual for the sacred armor of antiriad by a friendly visitor of the site, he send me more manuals in the past which I greatly appreciate. To this end I started looking for more manuals and I was able to find some more which I also added to the site.
Two text manuals:
Deja vu, a fantastic (imho) point and click adventure in which you must prove yourself innocent of a murder.
Sword of Sodan, a hack and slash game with huge sprites and plenty of gore.
Three scanned manuals:
California games, one of the games series from epyx
Klax, a simple but very good puzzle game
The sacrad armor of Antiriad, a plaftorm game in which one man must find the armor from legends to fight of alien invaders.

The end is near |
| Well the end is near, actually it's just the end of the year coming around soon hahaha. Depending on the circumstances
I'll probably do two more updates this year. This time I added an adventure game based on a comic called the quest for the time bird. You take control of two and later more characters in your search for the imprisoned god who will be freed in a couple of days. Once you find the old god's prison you will still have to find the time bird where you can take care of him once and for all. The game is played from a map where you can travel across the land and each location is overlayed as a picture on top of another. Gameplay is somewhat trial and error but overal it's still quite good. |

a day late |
I'm a day late with the update because of work (once again), I'm wondering how things will turn out for the new year though which is almost around the corner. Well you can't really see into the future anyway and I'd rather spend time on real things instead of thinking about them.
The game I added today is called the Oregon trail in which you take charge of a family of pioneers heading to the westcoast of the United States. There are loads of dangers apart from just trying to survive like fast moving rivers, poisenous snakes and disease are all part of the journey. The game can be quite unforgiving and you'll have to get over losing a family member if you're not carefull. The graphics have been updated from the first version released 10 years before this one, the biggest change is the hunting minigame which is now a first person affair. The game sounds a bit geeky but it's a classic so get on with it. |

eating fun |
I went out to eat this afternoon but I'm eating out tonight as well pfff it's a good thing I practised eating a lot for a long long time hahaha. I better get prepared for dinner because eating out requires that if you're to eat a lot :)
Well today's update is quite rare, it's a strategy game called Omega in which you must wage a ground war but this being a civilized world people don't actually get hurt (a lot). You must program tanks with their own set of rules creating a basic artificial intelligence so they can battle computerized tanks from the opposing faction. You can test your programming in a testing environment and you'll need it if you are to win the war. There's one catch though, I haven't got a manual and to really get to grips with the progamming language you're better off reading it. You can do a lot of trying and stuff or use logic and testing to figure it out which is probably why I quite like it. If you're into that then surely you'll like it as well but I'm sure it's not for everyone. |
