Just gonna say this now. I am not a fan of Star Trek, I've never seen Firefly, and most 'future' games that take place in space annoy me. However, this game is a gem in the rough. A sadistic, angry beast of a gem. I love every moment of it. Despite the fact that you will die a LOT, something about this strategy rogue game keeps pulling me in. The many unique encounters, the selection of weapons and tactics to use, and the secrets littered in the game just makes it pure fun to explore. I'd find myself up until 4 in the morning playing this, and each time I'd die, I'd just tell myself 'this is the last time' before starting all over again. If you love strategy games where you are the underdog in a system where most everyone wants to kill you dead, this is the game for you. Seriously.
Another beauty from my youth. A very addictive game for those who want to know how it feels to own an amusement park. I still remember my parents trying to pry me from the computer after playing this past my limit. Very fun and educational game. Taught me how to manage my money properly. Also taught me that there are a lot of people out there who can't swim...
Wow, the memories I have of this game. This is a golden platformer that defined gaming of the 90s. Everything about the game is crazy, insane and mesmerizing to a young kid. The crude humor, awesome levels and amazing characters made these two games absolutely awesome. I still remember facing off against the dreaded Bob the Evil Goldfish in a one-on-one deathmatch as well as the interesting ending of the second game. If you for some reason never even heard of this game, buy it. Play it. Unless you are dead from the neck up, you will love this game for its zaniness. I guarantee it.
This is a pretty good RTS, but despite it's pretty visuals and new mechanics it doesn't seem to feel like the true successor to one of the best RTS games... For one, it feels much too easy compared to the first one. The AI can be easily conquered in maybe an hour or two. Don't get me wrong, it still makes a good game. The territories are an interesting new idea, tech points make researching more friendly, and battles look a lot more lively with the better graphics. Overall, if you want a decent RTS game, pick this up. If you want a GREAT RTS game, pick up EE1.
This is one classic I didn't think I would see browsing through the catalog... Damn. This is an epic WWII flight simulator that is easy to learn, but hard to master. A perfect game for any fly boy who has a thing for the skies. The graphics may look dated for the time, but the game play goes unmatched. If you or a loved one has a flight stick and a love for flight, get this game. Seeing this here, it makes me wonder... Will I see Lock On next in the catalog? That would be an epic find as well. *hint hint*
Very interesting and fun game which I end up sucking at... Easy to learn, but hard to play if you never had any experience with managerial games before. Building an elaborate evil base with diabolical traps that destroy (or at least push away) anyone stupid enough to challenge your greatness by stepping foot in said evil base can be rather fun. It does get tedious though when trying to balance everything at one time... Building your base further while keeping out intruders and watching your men on the world screen to make sure they aren't getting their butts kicked by some officers can be taxing. The game is awesome, but only if you are REALLY good at multitasking.
I use to have this game a long time ago when we got our first family computer. It was my first game with Roller Coaster Tycoon. My brother ended up destroying the disk though, and I haven't been able to find a copy to replace it ever since... If you love RTS games and never played this game, you should get it. Now. This game pretty much defines RTS games (as well as Civilization).
