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.

pfffff |
| I've been incredibly busy lately working 6-7 days a week so that didn't leave
me much room to do anything else, when I do I like to chill with an adventure
game so I added Companions of Xanth.
I won't say too much about it but you can read the review and/or get the game
to see for yourself. |

Another update |
| Judge dredd is a wellknown comic
in which judges are the judge, jury and exectutioner on the crimridden streets
of mega city one. You play as Dredd himself and ride around town trying to stop
and prevent crimes from happening. Armed with your trusty lawpistol which can
fire six different types of bullets you are sure to stop the criminals. Most of
the game is played as a sidescrolling platform affair and though it's nothing
really spectacular it's not bad so give it a try. |

Dungeon hack |
| The RPG I most remember playing on a PC was eye of the beholder as it was one
of the first with a 3D view instead of being mostly textbased like most D&D games
were before. After three sequels they released dungeon
hack whis is a game that inherited the engine from the third game but
this time the dungeon in which you adventure is entirely randomized. Monsters,
doors, puzzles are all in different places each time you start a new dungeon many
of which you can control including size of the dungeon, strengt of enemies and
how often items treasure can be found! It sounds great and altough it is the randomness
of it does have problems like not having a decent story the dungeons can still
look and feel the same. I had a good time playing the game though so I suggest
you give it a try. |

Adventuring |
| I really like Legend of Kyrandia, and adventure game set in a fantasy/medieval
world in which a prince has to stop an evil jestor who has taken over the land.
In the sequel, legend of Kyrandia: the
hand of fate, you play the part of Zanthia a sorceres who has to go on
a quest to stop Kyrandia from dissapearring entirely! The interface is different
from most adventure games because there are no commands that you can give like
walk, talk, use but one click fits all in a way. This isn't my favorite way of
doing things as it gives you less control but I guess for some people it helps.
The biggest downfall is that your mousepointer does not change when you are over
an usable object so it's easy to miss things. There was another sequel released
and this one is the weakest of the three but that doesn't mean it's bad or anything
and well worth a look. |

Weekly update |
| I'm still busy so without further ado here's the update. The
ancient art of war is a strategy game in which you play a warlord and
have to deal with other famous generals and warlords like Napoleon, Genghis Kahn
and even Sun Tzu himself who wrote the book called the art of war. There is no
campaign option but instead there are only single battles some are taken from
wellknown places or actual battles like the battle for Sherwood Forest or the
fight between the kingdom of Wu and Wei in ancient China. There are plenty of
options to make battles more difficult like towns giving support and such. Altough
it doesn't look like much it's a pretty decent strategy game so give it a try. |

I'm busy |
| Pfew I was really busy the last week as I got an increased work schedule which
means at least five days work instead of just three ofcourse the good thing is
I get a big increase in pay as well :) Add to that things like moving my mom into
her new house after which I didn't have much time left for anything else. I'm
still busy and all but I managed to add another game to the site. It's an Infocom
interactive fiction called the lurking
horror in which you play a student at a technical university who's just
gone through a blizzard so you can finish your term paper which is due tomorrow.
Unfortunately something goes wrong with the network and your paper is scrambled
beyond help. This is the start of some very weird event which you will have to
unravel. This is the only horror interactive fiction title Infocom made and it's
pretty good so give it a go. |

Summer weather |
Pff the summer weather has finally arrived here even though it's not really summer yet and it looks like it will stay like that for some time, not that I use it much since I sit inside most of the time relaxing hehe. Anyway thanks to a friendly site visitor called Rob I was able to add the Commodore 64 version and a manual for Supremacy which is a fantastic strategy game set in space in which you have to conquer a solar system by colonizing and battling it out with the native warlord.
I also added a strange little puzzle game called IQ which I admit I don't really get so I didn't have much fun playing it. You can try it for yourself though maybe you'll find out something I didn't. |
