Flashback
Title Screen
Delphine 1993
Genre: Adventure, Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
With a gun and no memory you end doing what anybody in your situation would do: living an action filled sci-fi adventure through alien worlds. Sounds typical, yet it is quite a different platforms game.

Flug 714 nach Sydney
Title Screen
Mr Creosote 1996
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 1/6
Language: Deutsch
Licence: Freeware
System: PC
My second text adventure. 'Flight 714 to Sydney' is a Tintin comic, and the game follows it pretty closely... until the second half which is pretty much skipped completely, because I didn't like all that alien stuff.

Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist
Title Screen
Sierra 1993
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
There's lots of prejudice against Sierra's Adventure games floating around. Weak game design, embarrasingly childish wannabe-humor and often also (talking about the 'classics') graphics worse than any amateur could do. As much as I support this kind of prejudice, there are exceptions.

Frederik Pohl's Gateway
Title Screen
Legend Entertainment 1992
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Freeware
System: PC
Aeons ago, a technologically advanced alien race called the 'Heechee' had already mastered the secret of faster than light spacetravel. They explored several planets and constructed space stations. Then, they just disappeared.

Full Throttle
Alternate Name(s): "Vollgas"
Title Screen
Lucas Arts 1995
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 4.5/6
Language: English, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Castellano
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
To get this off my chest right from the start: I'm neither a teenager, nor in any sort of midlife crisis. Not the best prerequisites to enjoy a game about middle-aged, burly (and apparantely a little simple) men whose life consists of driving around on comical, impractical vehicles. At the risk of being beaten to pulp to bald guys with beer bellies: bikers are not cool!

Geheimprojekt DMSO
Title Screen
Art Department 1993
Genre: Adventure, Puzzle
Rating: 2.5/6
Language: Deutsch
Licence: Freeware
System: PC
[Mr Creosote] "Geheimprojekt DMSO" is an Art Department graphic adventure, promoting the rheumatism medicaments by the company Merckle GmbH. Professor Scheiffele of the university of Ulm, who had been working in corresponding product research, has vanished. Right before that happened, he called his nephew Jack Bene for help via telegram. Now it's his task to find the professor and uncover the background of his disappearance.

Gobliiins
Title Screen
Coktel Vision 1992
Genre: Puzzle, Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: English, Deutsch, Francais, Castellano, Italiano
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
Take the Adventure genre. Strip all story from it. Add different characters with different abilities. Limit the free movement of these characters to one screen at a time. What you get is Gobliiins.


Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon
Title Screen
Coktel Vision 1993
Genre: Puzzle, Adventure
Rating: 3/6
Language: English, Francais, Deutsch, Italiano
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
The king may have been saved, but now, his son has been kidnapped. The evil Demon King wants to make the prince into his court jester. What an offense! Instead of the terrific trio of the first part, a gruesome twosome (see number of 'i's in the title) is sent: Fingus, the diplomat, and Winkle, the practical joker.

Goblins 3
Title Screen
Coktel Vision 1994
Genre: Puzzle, Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: English, Francais
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
The third installment of Coktel's successful series. Officially, also the last one. Depending on personal definition, Woodruff and The Schnibble of Azimuth could as well be called Goblns 4 (sic!). That however, is another story.

Hacker 2
Title Screen
Activision 1986
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: C64
Kevin Mitnick...THE man. Have you heard about Kevin Mitnick? Have you ever wanted to be like him? Yeah I know...stupid question, of course you did. To be sincere, I wanted that too. I even broke into ***.*****.****.*****.edu but that's another thing.
