Top-down shooter that takes everything it can from the movie Aliens. Clean out each level of the space station and then take the lift down to the next one. You collect money that can be used to buy weapons or more ammo for all the aliens that keep spawning from the holes in the ground. Keys are needed for doors and some doors are one way so one need to be careful to not get stuck in a room with no keys . The only thing I really dislike about the game is that every levels end in a timed run to the lift. If you fail it is game over no matter how many re-spawns you had left.
Sent to investigate a scientific outpost on a far off planet your shuttle crash and the only way out is to kill all the aliens in top-down perspective. Collect keys, money and weapons and kill everything that moves.
Side-scrolling adventure game where your avatar is transported to another world and you need to try to survive in it. Not much guidelines so you really have to guess what to do next and die and try again. Art style might be fun in 91 but all that is left now is a boring game.
Control a platform at the bottom of the screen and use a ball to hit bricks and collect powerups and go to the next level. Repeat until pass out from lack of sleep.
3D combat simulator with tanks and planes. Collect five parts of a neutron bomb and use it the destroy the enemys beam cannon. You search the map while at the same time you destroy the enemys generators to delay the completion of the beam cannon.
Fighting game where you use your sword to cut down the minions to a evil wizards and then the wizard himself to save the princess (sigh). Plays like a tournament where you and one opponent settle thing one on one. Also possible to play two players against each other.
A chess game where the pieces are animated figures that show a small fight when you defeat of them. Make chess slightly more fun until you remember that it's still chess.
The world is destroyed in a nuclear war and you drive from town to town on your motorcycle to save it. Not sure how it will be saved but on the way you need to shoot down all these cars and other motorcycles that get in your way. Real ugly game here that really do not work at all.
Control your carrier and use it to take over islands so you get enough power to find and destroy the other carrier. The movie is not done by me (none of the movies i link to are) but it provides a good overview of the game.
This fighting game is made up of two parts and in the first you train you characters skills for the tournament in the second part of the game. Training is done by many exercises such as balancing on trees and dodging someone attacking you with a stick. The better you do the more strength and stamina you will have in the tournament. Fighting in the tournament is similar to many other fighting games were you kick your way to the next level. Training is not friendly for your joystick so you needs a whole box of tac-2?s to play games like this.
Puzzle solving on a time limit is not my favorite thing but this game is still a bit ;) fun. Solve the puzzles and collect all the chips in each level to move on to the next.
Another platformer with the goal to save your girl, this time as the caveman Chuck. Belly punch stange creatures and throw rocks at them. The band playing in the main menu is more fun then playing the game.
In this game you have two defense towers and you select the one to shoot from with the mouse buttons. The goal is to shoot down the incoming missiles so they don?t destroy any of your towns. It all goes on wave after wave and each one is a little faster. Not a fun game at all really :(.
Racing game where you always drive up the screen in cars such as McLoren and the Lotas. There is nothing good in this game really, bad music, bad art, bad gameplay. Did not manage to find any movie of this game and i will not pollute the Internet with one.
Beat-'em-up with support for two players. Select to play as a barbarian, dwarf or amazon and fight your way to final foe, Death-Adder. I like that you can knock of riding enemies and steal their steed. Grand Theft Dragon.
In this game you fly a small transport ship inside caves and transport cargo boxes between different airports. You can only take a limited number of boxes and they have different sizes so you need to plan ahead a little so you fly as few runs as possible. There are also unfriendly ships that you need to fight and force fields that try to pull your ship into the cave walls.
Shoot- em-up seen from above with a world that scrolls as you move along and kill everything. Can be played with two players. Also possible to drive tanks
Games from movies are more or less doomed to fail and this one sure does. It s so boring that it can act like a reaction test for how fast you can throw yourself on the off switch on your computer.
Simulator of the Indianapolis 500 race from a first person perspective. Many options to modify on the car so you can crash into the wall as good as possible. No, I'm not that good at car games.
This is a isometric game were you control four characters on a epic quest to save the world. Most of the time you are down in the dungeons but it is also possible to travel the world map between the towns and fight the armies of chaos that walk around there.
Each of the characters have their own special ability. The berserker can go into rage and do more damage and the assassin can hide from monsters and do more damage when attacking from behind. There is also the troubadours that can play songs to boost the skills of all the characters and finally there is the wizard that can use magic. The game have a fun magic system were you used different runes to form spells and you can create spells that turn the whole screen in one big magic storm.
Guide the not so bright lemmings to the exit. They drop out in the level one by one and then you need to assign task to some of them so they majority of them reach the exit. For example tell one of them to dig a path into a wall, a stair up or to stand and block the others so they don't walk over a cliff edge. You often have a limit on how many of each you can use, say max 9 diggers on a level so you need to plan ahead to keep as many of them safe. If you fail you can always push to bomb key that turn all lemmings into walking bombs that explodes in cute pixel clouds
Puzzle game where you need to use your cars laser cannon to destroy a reactor on each level and then use the exit transporter. Your car can only drive on the road so you also has tanks and flyers that can carry things such as mirror and lenses to modify the laser shots you shot so you can hit things not visible from the road.
Side scrolling shoot'em up with levels and in each level a end boos that need to die. You can shop for new weapons as you progress in the game and for currency you use keys that you take from the people you kill. Possible to play the game with two players and as always it's more fun that way :)
You control a colony on the moon and your goal is to explore the solar system and collect enough resources to re inhabit earth. Not that hard until you find out there is another colony that think that they are the ones that should inherit earth.
Very fun hack'n slash game that supports up to four players. You play on of four knights that have been chosen to search for the moonstone. You travel the world map and visit lairs and search for the four keys to the valley of the gods. The knight who have these can enter the valley of the gods and get a moonstone that can be used at Stonehenge to receive the blessing of ultimate power. There are also a dragon flying around that like to eat knights and it's best to avoid him at the start if the game.
This was not fun. I set my own goal that I would play until I managed to avoid getting in last place once. Never been so happy to see one of the AI cars get stuck on a wall.
Strategy game about the American civil war with a comical cartoon style. You move around you troops in a strategic view and then in tactical view you command a single battle and fight it out with you infantry, cannons and calvary.
Eat the dot's and stay away from the ghosts. You can also jump to avoid the ghosts and with four levels this should make a great game if not for the fact that pac-man games are sad and dull whatever they contain.
Side scrolling action where you search a oil rig for a bomb to keep it from blowing up while at the same time getting shot at by people that like to see it blow up.
Before Battlefield there was pinball games and this is the first one of three that Digital Illusions did for the Amiga. Physics works fine and the table looks nice. The most fun table was the nightmare one.
Second pinball game from Digital Illusions on the Amiga and i think this is the best of the three. The best table was Stones and Bones. Best graphic in this to as i think they added to much clutter in the next game.
Last pinball game for the Amiga from Digital Illusions. This game has three tables to pick from and i liked BabeWatch the most. They also had learned some basic 3D when they made this game and the knowledge was used to create the most ugly main menu possible.
Pinball games are really not my thing. I know some people wish to have a pinball machine at home but i think it is painful enough to have one on the computer. This is one of the first Amiga pinball games, from 1987 and there is not much to enjoy in this game. One board only and large part of the screen is wasted on a stupid score and settings display. The gameplay do not work that well when the ball bounce around like a cube made out of tar.
Build a pipe for fluid as long as possible from a parts that you get. When the fluid starts to flow you need it to not leak for a certain amount of pipe segments to get to the next level. Fun but takes a number of tries to get how to play.
Be a police, follow the rules, follow police procedure, drive legal and do not shoot everyone you meet. This game is not easy when you are always one letter away from going postal in a every game.
Shipping empire simulator where you get to buy boats and transport cargo from one place to another over the seven seas. Game also has a small arcade like sections including one where you have to steer your ship into port without ramming the docks. Also support playing for players in the hotseat but the game grows tiresome somewhat quick and faster so with more people.
Based in the Epic Rambo movie and that makes the game as good as one would expect. Take three scenes from the movie and make it into subgames so here we walk inside and shoot, then outside and shoot and finally we drive a tank an shoot. One more of these types of games and i will shoot myself.
Based on the Tom Clancy book with the same name. Four time periods from 1984 to 1996 with different submarines and weapons available. All put you in the role of a submarine in the Norwegian Sea fighting World War III. Try to make NATO win or end up as a prisoner to USSR.
Indiana Jones inspired platformer- You need to memorize each step to avoid falling into a deathtrap in the next screen. It's possible that this game is responsible for my dislike of platform games. I like the over the top scream when a enemy fly off screen.
The United States has collapsed and the roads are filled with gangs that drive around with guns and shoot at anyone. You start of with a small gang and the goal is to create a army so you can fight the other gangs. The game is a turn based strategy and tactical game and you move around on a map of the USA and it change to a tactical map when you do battle. Most of the time is spent hunting for oil, food and other supplies. On the tactical map you move your cars and decide who should shoot at what and when.
This is a horizontally-scrolling arcade game were you play as a helicopter and shoot your way past each level. It s also possible to play two player and the second player then take to role of a jeep that have a controllable weapon turret and it can also jump to avoid the enemy.
One of the early games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Take the role of space marines to fight orcs and genestealers in turn based combat. Solid gameplay and cool isometric action view.
Graphic adventure where you take the role of Roger Wilco, janitor by profession, and try to save the galaxy. Interaction done by typing commands so always some guesswork to get something done.

Three action sequences inspired by the third star wars film. speeder bike racing, AT-ST Walker and then attacking the death star with Millennium Falcon. Like the others the game restarts at a higher level if you win.
Arcade game based on the second star wars film and in this one you shoot droids, Imperial walkers, TIE Fighters and navigate asteroid field and when you are done it all restart again.
Fly through space, down to and into planets. The tunnels of the planets was the hard part where i always smacked into a wall. All travel is done on a quest to collect parts to build a a bomb to destroy the enemy.
Top-down race game where you can also drop mine's and shoot missiles after your opponents. Nice with split screen against another player but as always car games are not that fun.
Science fiction strategy game where you face take control of planets, build of your forces and then assault the alien homeworld. Four alien spieces to challange.
In this game you control a syndicate with the ultimate goal of world domination. From you flying command central you send out cybernetic soldiers to different areas of the world to gain control over them. In these missions you have a view of the target city and give orders to you agents about what they should do and who they should kill. Between missions you need to spend the money you earn from the areas you control to research new cybernetics and weapons to give you soldiers so they have a better chance to complete the mission. Its always nice when you have all four of them walking around with miniguns and gauss guns.
Shoot waves of enemies that pop up on the screen and try to not shoot civilians. You get to select two weapons for each level and they are assigned to left and right mouse buttons. Then you click fire... a lot
Fighting game based on the movie where you simple participate in five fights based on scenes from the movie. Also contain two small mini games where you try to break ice blocks or catch flies with chopstick. Game is so bad it's make more sense to try to break the game discs instead.
Adventure game where you collect items and use them in strange ways to move forward in the plot. In the game one assume the role of Gaybrush Threepwood, a young man that try to get into a career as a pirate. As the game progress one fight sword fights with insults, search for treasure and also get a new nemesis in the form of the ghost pirate LeChuck. Never been a fan of this kinds of game really, some fun parts but overall I find it tiresome to pickup random items and guess my way to the answer.
Sim city in space where you get to administer a new colony on some distant planet. Make the citizens happy and keep an eye on the hostile alien race that share the planet with you.
Guide Frodo and friends to Mount Doom and drop of the ring while at the same time you handle the armies of the west. Nice mix of strategy and adventure game at the same time.

Action game where you pilot a?plane in the Pacific during the WWII. You start of from your aircraft carrier and then attack islands where the goal is to destroy everything that the enemy have there.
Horizontally-scrolling platform game where you are a wizard that in the form of a green ball bounce around collecting colours. Well, you really are collecting power ups so you can summon your cat in the form of a smaller green ball to collect the colours. Fun game :).
Puzzle game where two balls drop in the level and your goal it to get them inside a goal basket. Do do that you first place blocks for the balls to bounce on or fans to blow them to the side. Then you press play to see what happens and if it do not work right you move your blocks until it work. The screen is split in to with one screen for each ball when you run the level. When you place the blocks the lower part show all things you can place and the top part show the level. A bit lacking in the user interface but it's still a fun.
Arcade puzzle game where your character Zoomer trace around the squares on the game board. When you filled out all the squares you proceed to the next level. At the same time there are monsters that try to eat you and powerups that appear at random on the board.

game.
