Project Nomad Project Nomad has been requested in the forum a few times, so I think there�ll be some happy faces among you today. This space opera has a galaxy of exotic worlds waiting to be explored and a plot that just begs to be played. Can you hear the call to board your spaceship? Where�s my suit. . ? Once again, Sebatianos has proven himself to be one of the hardest working members with a fine review and eye-catching screenshots. posted by wendymaree // 01-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Adventure // permalink
Oh no - More Lemmings A bit late with the update today, but here we are. Radiv has supplied us with OH NO! More Lemmings! I think we are getting close to a complete Lemmings collection. Have fun with it! posted by Tom Henrik // 02-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Puzzle // permalink
Test Drive - Triple Pack Today's update is a racey one (or three in one): Test Drive - Triple Pack. Radiv X has given some compelling reasons why we should get behind the steering wheel of a porsche and burn rubber. Some attractive screenshots offer even more enticement. The games are Test Drive, Test Drive II - The Duel and Test Drive III - The Passion. posted by wendymaree // 03-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Racing // permalink
Elite Plus Elite Plus is a space trader simulation with excellent VGA graphics. It is an updated version of the classic Elite and is now considered by far the better of the two. Thanks and popcorn go out to punch999 for a terrific review and screenshots.

Zone 66 Remember song lyrics that went, 'You can get your kicks on Route 66'? Today, for your enjoyment, we have a game called Zone 66 which will supply plenty of kicks, especially if you're into overhead shooters. This one is rumoured to be the most under-rated of its genre and features 360 degree freedom of movement. The impressive review and screenshots were supplied by Einherjar. I altered not a word of his review, and for edit-happy me that's unusual. Great work, Einherjar - and, of course, a crunchy snack is coming your way. ;) posted by wendymaree // 05-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Action // permalink
A Mind Forever Voyaging Today we have a text-based game for you, courtesy of JaG. He was a fellow updater on EchoRing while it was still up, and to my surprise and excitement, he decided to join our cause, and help us out with the site!

You'll be reading some more soon ;) Well, back to the game, it is an Infocom title called A Mind Forever Voyaging which is a must for all text-based games fans! Happy typing! posted by Kosta // 06-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Text Based // permalink
Gold Rush Gold Rush is another cool Sierra game and has some historical value � not only for the authentic and detailed recreation of the period in which it was set - but also because it was one of the first adventure games that was truly replayable. Our own evil genius, Fawfulhasfury, has written the ace review and supplied the screenshots. Popcorn, marshmellows or choc chip cookies, Fawful? posted by wendymaree // 07-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Adventure // permalink
Castle Wolfenstein Was Castle Wolfenstein the best action game ever made? Certainly not in terms of sophisticated graphics. Yet some argue that the great ideas incorporated into the full-on action gameplay provoke an adrenalin rush not equaled by many games today. In his well-thought out review, Jag gives a technical overview and tells of the history and the power contained in this revolutionary game. posted by wendymaree // 08-01-2005 // downloadable // game // The Crypt // permalink
Aleshar - World of Ice Hi all! I'm finally seeing some sun outside, after who knows how long, so I'll make this a quick update and try to get some tan ;) Einherjar has made an excellent review of Aleshar: World of Ice, an RPG game published in 1997. by Hypothermia. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but give it a try nontheless - and be sure to read the manual first :) posted by Kosta // 08-01-2005 // downloadable // game // RPG // permalink
Oscar Want to have some fun? Of course, you do! (With a passing nod to that inescapable glass of rye in Return To Zork.) Well, today's trip down memory lane is not to Zork but to Oscar - although not the famous awards. Read Tulac's helpful review to find out more about this top arcade game and also catch an eyefull of the brilliant screenshots he has supplied to accompany his review.

The game, screenshots and neato review were all supplied by evil genius and very huggable guy, Fawful.

Castlevania Today we have the biggest game update ever - a humongous review accompanied by 12 phenomenal screenshots - courtesy of The Fifth Horseman who supplied us with all the necessary ingredients.

Formula 1 Grand Prix A racing car simulation from the early nineties, Formula 1 Grand Prix was programmed and designed by racing game specialist, Geoff Crammond, so when released it was unequalled for authentic F1 feel. I've got one thing to say about today's reviewer, Tuttle. Awesome! The screenshots were spot on - even the title screen was included. The review was also spot on, and even the game details were included, such as the game's full title, editor's rating, producer, date of release, etc. Tuttle managed to knock two hours from my job. A MUD cake will be coming his way any time now. :) posted by wendymaree // 16-01-2005 // downloadable // game // Racing // permalink
Sting!, The Ever fancied a life of (simulated) crime? Do the Godfather movies thrill and chill? If you think you might have potential for evil genius *cough Fawful* then The Sting! - a crime strategy game - could become a favourite. Bjbrains2002 has written a review in authentic mob-elese and with compelling flair. He has also supplied the screenies and the archive. Thanks, Bj. :) posted by wendymaree // 19-01-2005 // not downloadable // game // Strategy // permalink
Castles I'm sorry because of sporadic updates, its just that we've all been pretty busy lately. However, I did my best to update today so here you are - today's treat is Castles, a prequel to Castles II which are already hosted on the site. You know the drill, so enjoy and get it while its hot! ;) posted by Kosta // 21-01-2005 // not downloadable // game // Strategy // permalink
Return To Zork Some of you would be aware that an earlier game which was uploaded, Hodj 'n' Podj has so far proven unplayble for XP owners, which is pretty disappointing. Kosta and I have decided to offer something special today to fill the gap.
Return To Zork is a favourite adventure game of mine from one of the most popular series of games ever. Hope you enjoy your magical journey through the Great Underground Empire of Zork. posted by wendymaree // 22-01-2005 // game // Adventure // not downloadable // permalink
