Dies ist eines der wenigen deutschen Spiele, das eine Menge internationale Anerkennung erhielt. Und diese auch wirklich verdiente. Erstmal passt es in ein typisch deutsches Klischee: eine Wirtschaftssimulation. Aber im Gegensatz zu so lächerlichen Versuchen wie Winzer macht diese hier wirklich Spaß! Die Gründe dafür sind relativ offensichtlich.
Mah Jongg is one of those little gems you just HAVE to have on your harddisk - for the simple reason that it's small, runs under Windows without the slightest problems (at least not under those Windows versions I played it under - which are Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP) and is exactly the game you are looking for when you want to play but don't have an idea what to play. It's always good for a round or two... or even for a playing it all night (if you are like my mother - and she's hardly a gamer, far away from that actually!).
One day, in the middle of 2000, I bought several magazines with demo cds on a computer fair. On one of those cds, I found the demo for "Majesty: the fantasy kingdom sim" and, mildly interested, decided to give it a try. The second I started playing the demo I was hooked, and the game hasn't left my harddrive since.
So, the evolving of this review was a bit odd. I had this game up at my old site The Keep and when I was going through the games at that site to see which ones might be worth being transferred over to The Good Old Days I came across this one. The review of it wasn't even short, so technically I could have just packed things up and sent them over to Mr Creosote. But then I decided that the screenshots weren't so great and I'd better make some new ones. Well well... I then started the game and tried to find my way around it.
Manhunter: New York was by all accounts one of the most unique adventure games of its time. In addition to a brand new approach to Sierra adventures, it featured a very original story, a very good atmosphere, but also weak graphics, interface and gameplay. I would think that it was the gameplay that sentenced the game to obscurity, which, however, was not deserved.
Alternativnamen: "Ultima, Worlds of Adventure 2"
In the Victorian age many celebrities that range from Marie Curie to Lenin have ended stranded on Mars. Now a second expedition, with a few more celebrities along the Avatar and professor Spector, is sent in a rescue mission.

Master of Magic ist der Nachfolger von Master of Orion. Wenn ihr meinen Test darüber gelesen hättet (ich weiß, habt ihr nicht...), wüsstet ihr, dass MOO mein absolutes Lieblingsspiel ist. Natürlich hatte ich deshalb riesige Erwartungen. Aber das Spiel konnte sie nicht alle erfüllen.
Master of Orion - nur ein Abklatsch von Civilization oder ein eigenständiges Spiel? Die Meinungen gehen extrem Auseinander. Es gibt kaum jemanden, der es mittelmäßig findet. Entweder man hasst, oder man liebt es. Wie sich sicher alle denken können, gehöre ich zu letzterer Gruppe (sonst wäre es in einer anderen Kategorie).

Mindscape 1994

Windows 3.1 war niemals eine Spieleplattform. Es war einfach zu langsam und instabil. Natürlich gab es Ausnahmen. Die meisten davon waren rundenbasiert und erforderten eine Menge Denken. Und dann war da noch Win-Doom als Actionspiel. Aber das war's. Fast. Ein Spiel, das einen möglichen Weg, Windows zu benutzen, zeigte, ist fast vergessen mittlerweile: Metal Marines!
Microsoft Entertainment Package is a pack of 29 games, which were originally released for Windows 3.1. Over the time, some games disappeared, others are still to be found. Few of the games are original. Yet, they compose a fairly entertaining mix no office computer should be without. And home computers will bennefit from this package as well - some of the games are fun and addictive. Let us take a closer look what this package offers:
