Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist
Title Screen
Sierra 1993
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 4.5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
There's lots of prejudice against Sierra's Adventure games floating around. Weak game design, embarrasingly childish wannabe-humor and often also (talking about the 'classics') graphics worse than any amateur could do. As much as I support this kind of prejudice, there are exceptions.

Frederik Pohl's Gateway
Title Screen
Legend Entertainment 1992
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Freeware
System: PC
Aeons ago, a technologically advanced alien race called the 'Heechee' had already mastered the secret of faster than light spacetravel. They explored several planets and constructed space stations. Then, they just disappeared.

Fury
Title Screen
Firebird 1986
Genre: Action, Puzzle
Rating: 3/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: Plus/4
Don't worry, this is not a cheesy game revolving around a horse and an annoying child (I'm watching too much TV). This Fury is a Lode Runner version with a small twist. Instead of searching for treasure, the player is put in the role of one of the few survivors of an atomic war. Like the others, he lives underground to avoid death from radiation. However, there are also evil mutants in these caverns who must be destroyed (it's "us or them" apparantely). So the objective is not getting rich, but killing the mutants.

Computer version of a well-known (and extremely stupid) TV show. What I'm especially proud of is the how the 'studio audience' is trying to influence you ;)

Written in Quick Basic 4.5.

Geheimprojekt DMSO
Title Screen
Art Department 1993
Genre: Adventure, Puzzle
Rating: 2.5/6
Language: Deutsch
Licence: Freeware
System: PC
[Mr Creosote] "Geheimprojekt DMSO" is an Art Department graphic adventure, promoting the rheumatism medicaments by the company Merckle GmbH. Professor Scheiffele of the university of Ulm, who had been working in corresponding product research, has vanished. Right before that happened, he called his nephew Jack Bene for help via telegram. Now it's his task to find the professor and uncover the background of his disappearance.

Gesetzgebung
Title Screen
Deutscher Bundestag 1994
Genre: Strategy, Action
Rating: 3/6
Language: Deutsch
Licence: Freeware
System: PC
This is a very special promotial game. It doesn't advertise a product or some company. It doesn't tell you 'buy this'. Or in fact, it does the latter. But in another meaning: it's political propaganda! And it does try to convince you to 'buy' all the stuff which is said there...

Global Conquest
Title Screen
Microprose 1992
Genre: Strategy
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Global Conquest is a kind of sequel to Command HQ. The whole system is therefore quite similar. For more detailed information read this one's review. You start with one (or a few) cities and you have to conquer the whole world. That is (of course?) achieved by military.

Gobliiins
Title Screen
Coktel Vision 1992
Genre: Puzzle, Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: English, Deutsch, Francais, Castellano, Italiano
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
Take the Adventure genre. Strip all story from it. Add different characters with different abilities. Limit the free movement of these characters to one screen at a time. What you get is Gobliiins.

Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon
Title Screen
Coktel Vision 1993
Genre: Puzzle, Adventure
Rating: 3/6
Language: English, Francais, Deutsch, Italiano
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
The king may have been saved, but now, his son has been kidnapped. The evil Demon King wants to make the prince into his court jester. What an offense! Instead of the terrific trio of the first part, a gruesome twosome (see number of 'i's in the title) is sent: Fingus, the diplomat, and Winkle, the practical joker.

Goblins 3
Title Screen
Coktel Vision 1994
Genre: Puzzle, Adventure
Rating: 3.5/6
Language: English, Francais
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
The third installment of Coktel's successful series. Officially, also the last one. Depending on personal definition, Woodruff and The Schnibble of Azimuth could as well be called Goblns 4 (sic!). That however, is another story.
