BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception
Title Screen
Westwood / Infocom 1988
Genre: RPG, Strategy
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
A unique blend of role-playing, tactical strategy and adventure, Battletech: The Crescent Hawk Inception was one of Infocom's first forays into graphical gaming. For years, the company ruled the text-based gaming, and with this ambitious product, wanted to cross over to the increasingly popular graphics-based games. Developed by Westwood's finest, the game became immensely popular, despite its balancing issues and weak graphics.

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty
Alternate Name(s): "Dune II: Battle for Arrakis"
Title Screen
Westwood / Virgin Interactive 1992
Genre: Strategy, Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: English, Francais, Deutsch
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Despite popular beliefs, there is nothing original about Dune II. Except of one thing, which enabled Westwood to become a powerhouse among games developers. As for gameplay, however, the game did not "revolutionarize", "create a new style of gaming" or "became the first of its kind." All it did was to combine several games already out in the market. The developer did this very skillfully, however, creating an unique experience and one of the most entertaining games ever.

Westwood Studios 1992
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 2/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial

The evil jester Malcolm has escaped from his prison. Now he's draining all the magical energy of the realm. None of the court magicians can withstand his powers. As a sign of extreme evil, he has turned Kallak (one of the elders or something) into stone.

Legend of Kyrandia 2 - Hand Of Fate
Title Screen
Westwood Studios 1993
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 3/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Kyrandia is in trouble again! But this time it's not that easy to determine where it comes from. The realm is slowly disappearing bit by bit. The royal Mystics don't have a clue what to do (that rhymes ;). But fortunately, a giant hand has obviously experienced this phenomenon before: someone needs to retrieve the anchor stone from the center of the world. On the hand's diagram of the world, you can clearly see a lot of lava there, but who cares? The youngest member of the mystics is chosen for this mission: Zanthia.

Legend of Kyrandia 3 - Malcolm's Revenge
Title Screen
Westwood Studios 1994
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 2/6
Language: English, Français, Deutsch
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
The third installment of Westwood's popular Adventure series picks up where the first part ended: Brandon has defeated the evil court jester Malcolm and turned him into stone. Brandon became king and everything was well (well, apart from the fact, that the former king and queen are... dead). A lightning frees Malcolm from his prison, and now it's time to 'hear his side of the story', as the intro states.
