Genre: Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: Francais, English, Deutsch, Castellano
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
Taking one of the most thrilling concepts of an old genre and combine it with the modern attributes of current computers. That is how Cruise for a Corpse can be described best. The conclusion at the beginning of a review? Well, I thought I could do it a bit differently than normal sometimes ;)

Cross Check
Title Screen
Sunflowers 1994
Genre: Sport, Action
Rating: 4/6
Language: Deutsch
Licence: Commercial

Before certain endlessly running series by a certain publisher on a certain system became common, the popular sports games originated on the Amiga. Just think of Kick Off or Sensible Soccer!

Dark Seed
Title Screen
Cyberdreams 1992
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: English, Francais, Castellano, Deutsch
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
One of the better known Adventures from the early 90s, Darkseed features classic horror with the help of well-known Swiss artist H.R. Giger who also designed the monsters for 'Alien' (the movie). Your alter ego has just moved in an old villa in a small village. It was a real bargain! Suddenly, he gets this strange headache which is unbearable without the help of a lot of pills and from the first night in the house on, he gets weird nightmares about..... alien-like creatures.

Das Schwarze Auge: Die Schicksalsklinge
Alternate Name(s): "Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny"
Title Screen
Attic 1992
Genre: RPG
Rating: 4/6
Language: Deutsch, English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Das Schwarze Auge (The Dark Eye) is the most popular role playing game in Germany, and everybody even only remotely interested in this topic has heard of it. Controversial (sometimes even borderline funny) magic spells are guaranteed to break the ice and create an athmosphere. The detailed character system offers unequalled opportunities and the lovingly designed game world - the continent of Aventuria (called Arkania in this computer game) under the constant threat of the Orcs, the tough Thorwalians - a people reminding of the Vikings - everything required for a good old-fashioned role-playing game is there.

Title Screen
Mediamond 2000
Genre: Sport
Rating: 4/6
Language: English, Deutsch, Francais
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
This is a neat little, yet highly addictive game, when you're into such kind of winter sports. In 'DSJ' you're a ski jumper trying to win the World Cup and beating all hill records.

Die Fugger 2
Title Screen
Sunflowers 1996
Genre: Strategy
Rating: 4/6
Language: Deutsch
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Money and political power are often closely related. The family referenced in the title is one of the best known historical examples of this phenomenon. The members of that family don't actually appear in the game, though. It takes place a few levels below that instead. On a regional level, i.e. a member state of the former 'Holy Roman Empire', the player tries to gain political influence - just like the big idols.

Die total verrückte Rallye
Alternate Name(s): "Dr. Drago's Madcap Chase"
Title Screen
Blue Byte 1995
Genre: Strategy
Rating: 4/6
Language: Deutsch, English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Whenever something claims to be 'crazy' (meaning 'funny' or 'wacky') in the title, you should be careful. It usually means the product won't be crazy at all, but rather lame. Simple reason: They try too hard, it all gets too obvious. Die total verrückte Rallye (literal translation: the totally crazy rallye) fortunately only stumbles into this trap partly, keeping the lameness factor at a bearable minimum (if only there weren't this 'announcer' with his GDR / Berlin accent...).
