3 Skulls of the Toltecs
Title Screen
Revistronic 1996
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 3/6
Language: English, Castellano
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Arizona, 1866. Fenimore Fillmore, the young (actually, he looks like he's 12 years old) hero of our story, accidently stumbles across the secret of three golden skulls which unlock the way to the treasure of the Toltecs. One of these skulls is already in his possession. Two other ones have yet to be located, but at least he knows who has them.

Abuse
Title Screen
Crack dot com 1996
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
You are the last chance against the abuse, a virus that transforms people on horrible monsters, a creation of illegal experiments being made on the prison where you were yet another prisoner. Everybody is now infected, except you, and stopping the infection from spreading to the world won't be easy. I mean it, this is really hard, an action game that is not so much about blowing up enemies as it is about escaping and avoiding being blown up by the ants, your enemies who like flooding the places with their assaults and their shots.

Adventure *

The first text adventure I wrote. Story has been ripped off a Mickey Mouse comic with just the character names removed.

Puzzles are virtually nonexistent, the 'parser' only understands commands which have been hardcoded into the game.

This is actually not a game, but only a 'programming excercise' I did for myself. It was intended to mimic the basics of a shooter, but all you can do is move around and shoot, because there are no enemies.

Bermuda Syndrome
Title Screen
Century Interactive / BMG 1996
Genre: Action, Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: English, Français, Deutsch
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Vinyl record sleeves and game boxes have something in common, in the sense that a particularly good design can prompt you to buy the record/game without trying it first. That's how I ended up with The Virgin Prunes' If I die, I die, which is absolutely god-awful. And Bermuda Syndrome, which is great fun.

Chaos Engine 2
Title Screen
Bitmap Brothers 1996
Genre: Action
Rating: 3/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
Chaos Engine. The epitome of an Amiga game. Made by the Amiga company. The immensely popular first part actually found its way to the PC more than a year later after the initial Amiga release. But then there was nothing.

Crusader: No Regret
Title Screen
Origin 1996
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Surprisingly shortly after the the release of Crusader: No Remorse, this sequel came out. However, once one actually plays the game, the surprise is gone. No Regret looks the same, plays the same and feels the same as its predecessor. This review will just cover the few differences, for general information about the gameplay, please refer to the review of the first game.

Made directly following Geh aufs Ganze, this is another TV show. Guess the prices of real products, and be more accurate than the other AI or human players - thrilling!

Tapuak was responsible for entering the prices into the 'database'. The final 'level' is unfortunately missing, because we both couldn't remember the exact rules anymore.
