    Interstate '76
    You want weapons? I76 has about 25 different weapons. Slug throwers, SPP Pods, Flamethrowers, Mortars, Droppers, and even a hand-held 45 caliber automatic pistol are there for the taking. There are about 15 different views to choose from to set your sights on the enemy, and there's even a Missile Cam, for a rocket's-eye view of the mayhem.

    Soul Blade
    The fast and vicious action puts it near the top of its class in the fighting genre, while the interesting characters keep it from being lumped in as just another clone.

    Obsidian
    I'm not a big puzzle game fan, but this title did contain situations which were able to hold my interest - at least, for a while. The luscious graphics come at a "disk-swapping" price.

    Diablo
    About as close to Hell as you're going to get - whether you believe in it or not. Everything about this game just rules and it will blow you away. The gameplay is the easiest I've ever come across in an RPG which is just fantastic.

    Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares
    Master of Orion 2 is just INTENSE! I absolutely loved this game and if you liked the original Master of Orion I think you will too.

    Command & Conquer: Red Alert
    Suffice it to say that if you like strategy, military tactics, or liked the original game, you will love Red Alert.

    Lords of the Realm II
    The AI in this game failed to impress me. It was not bad, but I thought it would have presented more of a challenge.

    Time Commando
    Nothing I have ever played before can even come close to the level of detail or gameplay as this. It is a game unlike any other.

    Quake
    The graphics, sound, and intelligence factors combine to make a game that will scare the hell out of you! The main problem that Quake seems to have is a lack of identity. It wants to combine "DOOM" elements with Hexen elements which creates a mish-mash effect.

    Descent II
    More of that great Descent action you've come to expect and won't disappoint! It you've been waiting for more new levels, enemies, and mission builder than this will be your nirvana.

    Sid Meier's Civilization II
    Awesome and addicting in everyway, it's also only the second game for Windows 95 that was worth playing at all (the other being "Ultima Online").

    Duke Nukem 3D
    Alien scum in the final version of DN3D are still tricky devils ducking for cover, teleporting in and out, lying in ambush, and even laying traps in later episodes. However, the monsters are still stupid enough to walk into a tripbomb so overall intelligence isn't perfect.

    Sniper: Path of Vengeance
    Possessing a sketchy storyline, abysmal artificial intelligence and repetitive gameplay, nothing about it engrosses you in the action and keeps you coming back for more.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Mystery of the Druids
    Many of the puzzles are creative, and the graphical style is pleasing; but the frustrating ways that the dialog revelations and trivial sequencing of actions are implemented largely ruin the whole experience.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Secret Agent: Cold War Espionage
    What keeps realMYST from earning the high honors is the problematic control system that makes clicking on the right areas difficult; especially the much darker nature of the environment at night, making navigation quite hellish and the solving of puzzles relatively impossible.

    Chaser (2003)
    It combines an interesting plot with nonstop action in a coherent matter. However, the complete absence of innovation, linear levels, tepid multiplayer, irritating vocal effects, and unspectacular artificial intelligence keep this title from reaching its potential.

    American Conquest
    Rich, detailed visuals and effects impart life and atmosphere to the New World theme, and gameplay demands both strategic planning and tactical skill.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Industry Giant
    Occasionally I came across against a scenario or mission that was entertaining for a while, but the game wasn't different enough often enough.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Alida
    A lot of creativity is embedded here beneath the surface. However, the absence of a story delivered in a compelling way, along with several other questionable design decisions, hinders your motivation to make it all the way through.

    Steel Saviour
    For an avowed lover of the 2D scrolling space shooter, Steel Saviour is an answer to prayers. With mesmerizing graphics and audio, an intuitive control system, rapid-fire gameplay, and even a solid background story, this release definitely delivers on what it promises.

    Monster Rancher 2
    Anyone who liked the first will fall instantly in love with the second. Even if you've never heard of the series, I offer my highest, unconditional recommendation that you try MR2 out at your earliest convenience.
