A little puzzle game with some nice title screens and name entry screens. The game is essentially a Connect 4 style game, but more Connect 5!….. Simple, but one which could have provided some fun if a computer player was … Continue reading →

Amok is the beginnings of what could have been a rather nice looking Space SEU. Quite simply we have a tech-demo preview of Amok, showing off graphics and some music. The game is playable, but only to the point of … Continue reading →

Angel of Hell II is a preview of a game by 576 KByte which was produced back in 1996. Sadly it never got completed. It was the sequel to this game. The preview spans a very impressive 3 disk sides, … Continue reading →
