Last Action Hero
Title Screen
Psygnosis 1994
Genre: Action
Rating: 0/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
A whole bunch of unvoluntary humor! This game confirm several cliches at once.

1. A movie conversion
The game has nothing (really nothing) to do with the film. Some very short video excerpts are shown betweenthe levels but that's all. A few characters and settings from the film show up but they are futile.

Legend of Kyrandia
Title Screen
Westwood Studios 1992
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 2/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
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.

Lemmings
Title Screen
Psygnosis 1990
Genre: Puzzle
Rating: 4.7/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
Lemmings - widely regarded as one of the most influential, one of the most original and one of the best games ever. What could I possibly say about it what hasn't been said before? Even today, it is the epitome of the 'puzzle' genre - and I added this genre to this site just for this game. I recoded pages, made special images, defined scripts, all just to be able to present this game. So there has to be something special about it.

Little Computer People
Title Screen
Activision 1985
Genre: Strategy
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: C64
In the mid-90s, Tamagotchis - little annoying egg-shaped beeping virtual 'pets' - were really popular for some time. Later, there was the immensily successful (deserved!) PC game The Sims which gave the concept of the virtual 'goldfish tank' more complexity. But two decades before, this idea had already been put into a game! Little Computer People - the first scientifical simulation of life (not counting Alter Ego)!

Locomotion
Title Screen
Kingsoft 1992
Genre: Puzzle
Rating: 4/6
Language: Deutsch, English
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
Which game would fit the description 'digital model railroad' best? Most people would say Railroad Tycoon. It doesn't quite fit, though, because of the economic aspects. For Märklin fans, it's mostly about controlling forks and setting routes. The perfectly fitting game: Locomotion.

Loom
Title Screen
Lucasfilm Games 1990
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 4.5/6
Language: English, Deutsch
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
1990 was the year of Monkey Island. So great, so successful that it overshadowed everything else - including this earlier product of the same company. Not to say this is an 'underground' game or a 'rarity' - quite the opposite. It was a best-seller and even today, it is one of the most widely known Adventure games. Just not as much as Monkey Island. And not as one-sided positively as Monkey Island...

Lords of the Realm (AGA)
Title Screen
Impressions 1995
Genre: Strategy
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
I have conquered medieval England countless times in countless variations (i.e. games) already. All the mixes have very similar flavours, the differences are marginal. In such a (once) overcrowded genre, these little things count though!

Lords of the Rising Sun
Title Screen
Cinemaware 1989
Genre: Strategy, Action
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
You like the concept, but medieval England is getting a bit tiring? Then head over to medieval Japan! This is how Lords of the Rising Sun is best described. Oh, you don't have a clue what I'm talking about? Then you probably haven't played Defender of the Crown by the same company! Stop reading here and sit in the corner!
