Pffff |
After a hard weeks work it's good to get back home and rest up a bit but not for too long as I have plenty of stuff to do yet.
I added another shooter today, one that I played quite a lot on my C64. Retrograde
allows you to fly around in an armor and you can attach weapons on 16 different
points so you can shoot in all directions. There are also nonflying levels inside
the normal ones so it has more variety than most shooters, give it a go if you
like shoot'em ups. |

Busy day |
It's been quite busy lately at work with a lot of new stuff being implemented and today was no exception, luckily I can always escape by hiding in the serverroom and it's pretty comfy with aircondition and all that hehehe.
RPG's are one of my favorite genres and might
and magic is among the oldest series. It follows the standard as far as
creating characters and stuff but the thing that set it apart from the rest is
that it is entirely played from first person view and not an overhead view like
the rest. This is game is seriously hardcore so only the hardened RPGers need
apply, ofcourse you can always give it a go anyway. |

Wheeee |
I've been getting lots of exercise lately and to tell you the truth I feel a lot better than before, I can recommend it to anyone who often feels tired and stuff like me.
M1 tank platoon was quite revolutionary
when it was released because the entire game was done in 3D, even the overhead map so you can zoom in on it. Beside from controlling a squad of tanks you can also
take control of lots of other ground vehicles in first person mode or you can
take a tactical approach and let the crews do the fighting. Check it out. |

Gotta run |
| Gotta go so here's a game for you called Rush'n
attack, aka Green beret. You play a green beret who has to rescue some
prisoners of war, armed with only your trusty knife and maybe some weapons procured
onsite you set out. The game's fairly simple but quite enjoyable. |

Great day |
I went to the strike today which basically was a gathering of the people on strike, it was quite fun to see an event like that and we hung around town afterwards.
Car tuning has become popular these days but in Street
rod you play in the sixties and you can upgrade your car to make it a
real hotrod. Race around to win cash and maybe even a car or two until finally
you become king of the road. Technically the game is somewhat lacking but I still
like the game, check it out. |

Strike |
Tomorrow I'm gonna go on strike along with some buddies, well actually to tell you the truth I'm free anyway so I'm just hanging out with them :)
Today's game is called raid on bungeling
bay, a shooter that is now over 20 years old. The unique thing (at the
time) is that the playing field is a 360 degree rotating screen instead of your
normal side or vertical scrolling one. The object is to blast enemy vessels from
your helicopter and bomb bases to get to the next level. Other than the level
type there isn't really much to distinguish from other shooters though. |

A bit late |
There was some kind of accident today which meant I came home later than usual which is quite annoying really mmm.
Added a flightsim today called Red Baron
by Dynamix. The red baron was a WW1 fighter pilot famous for making over 80 confirmed
kills and flying a bright red triplane. In the game you can fly tons of other
planes from that era as well from both sides of the conflict. If you like flight
sims then you should check this out. |

What's up |
There has been some talk at work that I have to work fulltime instead of just
three days, no more long weekends WHAAA! We'll see what happens though as you
never know till it actually goes down. BTW anyone know what has happened to the
emulation ring? they've been down for weeks now.
Today I bring you a trivia game called Quizmeiser
and altough trivia isn't really my type of game this one has one category that
is about games. I don't know what year it was released but at the time the game
in the quiz weren't that old but these days they are considered abandonware. Check
it out to see how much you really know about old games! |

Been gaming too much |
I recently got dynasty warriors 5 and I've been playing it way too much lately.
I know it's basically more of the same but I still like the game. Today was an
easy day as I attended a presentation about some work related stuff but the good
thing was that there was free food and drink, hoorah!
I added a real genre defining game today called populous,
it was the first godgame and even though it almost never got published it was
a hit when it did. You can control people and have to wage war upon another diety
by generating earthquakes and doing battle. Excellent game so check it out. |

Excellent weather |
The weather has been great the last couple of days, I think I'm gonna try a bit of beach fishing catch a big one eh :)
Here's a classic game for you called pitstop,
it's a racing game where you race a formula 1 car. The unique thing is that every
lap you can go into the pit and and make a pitstop to change tires and refuel.
You can even blow your gastank by filling it too much. It might look real dated
but it's actually quite fun if you like old games. |

Another week |
Well the week didn't start too well as there were tons of problems at work, hope it will get better tomorrow.
Anyway here is another Sierra game called
Police quest: in persuit of the death angel or simple police quest 1 as
I like to call it. This one is much like the other ones except that it's quite
heavy on procedures which for me takes some fun out of the game (it is still a
game) but I know many like this one so check it out for yourself. |

Episode 3 rocks! |
Well I saw star wars eps 3 and I have to say it's as good as they say, even better maybe :) If you're a fan you've probably already seen it but those of you that are still doubting I suggest you see it coz you won't be dissapointed.
Here a game for you from Sierra and it's quite different from what they normally
released. Oil's well plays a lot
like pacman as it has you controlling a robotic arm that collect pellets of oil.
There are critters running around and even a powerup that slows time so you can
get at the hard to get areas. Fairly simple game really but quite fun for at least
a little while. |

Back from vacation |
Well I had a great time London but now it's back to work and here is an update.
Ninja gaiden is also known as
shadow warrior and it's a beat'em up where you control a ninja fighting thugs
and badguys in the USA. I've seen better fighting games around but I played it
quite often when it was released. Maybe that's because I really like fighting
games but still give it a go if you have some spare time. |

| May-10-2005 20:56 |
Going on vacation |
Tomorrow I'm off to London, England for about a week so here is another update. After I get back expect some more regular updates.
NFL pro league football is a football
manager game where you can pick from tons of different teams from the 70's, 80's
and 90's. You can choose what kind of plays to execute and hope your players do
it right. I'm not really into the sport but if you fancy a try at managing a football
team then give it a go. |

| May-05-2005 20:52 |
Another adventure added |
| Another adventure added today to boost the house's collection. James
bond: the stealth affair or operation stealth as it's also known is another
adventure from Delphine. It uses an updated engine from the one used in future
wars and altough it's point and click it's not as easy to use as some other engines.
The game itself is not bad and it has you playing a secret agent that has to find
a stealth plane that has gone missing. The Bond license was added later so don't
expect too much from that other than the name. |
| |
| May-01-2005 15:13 |
No I'm not gone |
Well it's been a while since my last update but if you read the previous one I'm sure you understand why. I'm still taking it easy though so I don't know when the next update will be.
Mad TV is a strategy game where
you are in control of running a tv production company. You decide which shows
to run and also have to pull in those advertisers to make money. Not bad this
game so check it out. |

What's up? |
| Regular visitors have probably noticed that I haven't updated for a couple of
days now. The thing is I was almost to the point of collapsing the other day because
of lack of sleep and work and stuff so I'm taking some time off to really get
some rest and relaxation. I'll not be doing my regular daily updates but when
I feel ok I'll add a game like today. Jagged
alliance is one of my favorite games of all time, you have to hire and
command a bunch of mercenaries in turnbased tactical combat to take back control
of an island. Each character has a distinct personality and there are plenty of
different weapons and items around in the game. This is the disk version missing
lots of speech found in the CD version which is a shame but the game is still
great. |
| |
| Apr-22-2005 17:24 |
Let's party |
I'm doing an early update because I'm off to a party in a moment. Normally I don't like crowded places but I never pass up on some free food and drinks :)
Today's game is called kings of the beach
which is a beach volleyball game. These days beach volley games are merely used
as an excuse to have some busty ladies running around in their bikini's but not
in this game. You can practice different shots and play a single game before entering
a tournament. Not my favorite beach volley game but not bad. |
| |
| Apr-21-2005 19:23 |
Good weather? |
Today there was suddenly good weather but I had to stay home and do some stuff, grrr I'll never get out like this.
I added the Legend of Kyrandia
which is a very nice looking adventure game from the early eighties. You play
Brandon and you have to stop the evil jester Malcolm who has escaped from prison
and who is now wielding the most powerfull magic in the land. Besides the graphics
the sound is also very good and the interface couldn't be easier to use with. This is definately
one of the better adventure games so get it quick. |

I'm wasted |
I was working way too late yesterday and only got a couple of hours sleep so I'm feeling pretty wasted right now. Here's an update before I go to get some much needed rest.
The lost vikings looks like a
platform game at first but it's really a puzzle game where you control three vikings
who are lost and have to find their way home. Each of them has unique abilities
which you have to use to solve the puzzles. This game is great so get it quick.

Rain and more rain |
It's been raining all day which can be quite annoying but luckily it's perfect weather for gaming. :)
I added a really original game today called
life and death where you play a doctor who has to diagnose and treat sick
people. You can even do an operation on some but fail and they won't survive.
Don't play this game if you need surgery anytime soon but otherwise check it out. |
| |
| Apr-18-2005 19:08 |
Need more sleep |
I gotta go to bed earlier because I'm so tired but gaming is so much fun I can't put it down :) mmm
Here's yer update for today, kingpin
is a bowling game but this kind of game doesn't really do much for me. I can't
say that it's really bad because it's better than most bowling games I've seen.
If you like digital bowling you might give it a shot though. |
| |
| Apr-17-2005 21:00 |
Late update |
I didn't do an early update today because I was watching a movie and had to run
because I'd be late. The one I saw is called the house of flying daggers, a martial
arts action flick like Hero. The movie was nice but the ending was crap which
always annoys the hell out of me.
Here's the game I added today called Jones
in the fast lane which is a sort of life simulator where you have to work,
eat, get educated and pay rent. It sounds boring but it's a fun game actually
so take a look. |
| |
| Apr-16-2005 20:49 |
Oops ! |
| Well I just saw when doing this update that I added a game yesterday but did not
activate the newspost that came with it. If you didn't realize it you can still
get the game ofcourse but here is today's update. Pretty much everyone knows the
movie jaws but this game is actually
loosely based on the fourth (yup nr.4) movie.You move around in your ship and
dive for shells and stuff to trade in for better equipment. It's a fairly simple
game but I have to admit that I played for longer that I expected to try and get
jaws. |

| Apr-15-2005 19:09 |
Another adventure |
| I've added another adventure game and the genre still remains high among my favorite
list but sadly these days you won't find a lot of them anymore, luckily old adventures
are still fun and there's plenty of them around! Innocent
until caught is a fairly standard adventure game and altough it's not
spectacular it's still fun but the biggest surprise was that it was made by Psygnosis
who usually made action games. I'm off to the gym so enjoy the game and be sure
to check back tomorrow. |

| Apr-15-2005 12:59 |
Added a manual |
| As I promised last night I added the manual and bay of Quinte map for
Gone fishin'. You'll have to excuse me for the quality of the map because I pieced it together from several different scans as the original is a really large foldout map. Check back later for a game update. |
| |
| Apr-14-2005 19:45 |
forgot something |
Tomorrow I will add the manual and maps for gone fishin' which took some time to scan in as the map is pretty big, today there is another game.
Infiltrator is a game with two
parts, one where you fly a helicopter in a simulation like sequence and a stealthy
sequence where you sneak around an enemy camp trying to photograph planes and
secret plans. The first part doesn't do much for me but the stealth part isn't
bad. Take a look if you want to experience some oldschool stealth gameplay. |
| |
| Apr-13-2005 19:35 |
Rest is good |
| I've earned some rest after three days of hard work so I'm gonna relax in a moment
but not before I do another update. Hugo's
house of horrors is an adventure game where you, Hugo, have to rescue
your girlfriend who is being held in a scary mansion. This is the first part which
was released as shareware but because the others have different storylines I decide
to seperate them. It's pretty short and quite easy but if you're in for a quick
adventure then check it out. |
| |
| Apr-12-2005 19:30 |
Busy Busy |
I can't believe how busy the last two days at work have been as we had a couple of large updates on some programs, there's more to come but luckily for me I only have one day to go :)
Hacker is a game that any 'old'
gamer should know because it has you hacking into an unknown server and getting
control of a remote controlled robot. You receive a mission about returning stolen
plans and you'll have to travel the world in underground caverns to get them all.
Check it out. |

Mobile gaming rulez |
I recently got a PDA for free and I found some cool emulators for it, that means
that I can play my C64, nes, master system and gameboy games anywhere! Now if
only someone made a DOS emulator for PDA that would complete the collection hehe.
Gone fishin' is the latest addition
to the house and it is my favorite fishing game to date because there loads of
different species to catch, not only the usualy bass and big fish but also the
little ones like perch and sunfish. I played this game so often I actually broke
my mouse after casting for the xth time, check it out if you like fishing games. |
