Z
Title Screen
Bitmap Brothers 1996
Genre: Strategy
Rating: 6/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Is it just a cheap "Command&Conquer" clone or a game with new ideas? Both is right because 'Z' is obviously a part of the past wave of real-time strategy games but it is also far better than similar games.

Mr Creosote 1999

Rating: 0/6

Licence: Freeware
System: PC

Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders
Title Screen
Lucasfilm Games 1988
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: English, Deutsch
Licence: Commercial
System: C64
Protagonist Zak McKracken is working for a tabloid in San Francisco. He hates his job, and he'd much rather write a novel instead. But he has to earn his money, and so his fat boss gives him another assignment: to write a story about a two-headed squirrel. Urk!

Zeewolf
Title Screen
Binary Asylum / Empire Software 1994
Genre: Action
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
If a new company starts producing games for a system after it has become clear it's going to die is a sure sign of dedication. Binary Asylum had been founded by former employees of games magazines - after Commodore's bancruptcy. After this game (and its sequel), they never got any other release out again. Yet, the company showed that the Amiga was still there to deliver a good blast.

Zeewolf 2: Wild Justice
Title Screen
Binary Asylum / Pinnacle 1995
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
Do the changes warrant a release as a standalone sequel, or is it just a data disk with new levels? One of the eternal questions of the gaming industry. Almost always answered to the customer's disadvantage. The question is also very valid for Zeewolf 2 (not going to repeat the nonsensical subtitle).

Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Title Screen
Konami / Lucas Arts 1993
Genre: Action
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
'Zombies ate my Neighbours' is one of those classic frenzied shoot-em-ups. Gameplay and perspective very much remind of 'Chaos Engine', which is of almost the same age and which can be found in the PC section. You move your character freely (not just from left to right) through the levels and get rid of countless enemies.
