There are actually 12 games in September's monthly 5 if you include ports and compilations so it'll keep you busy as Autumn officially rolls in. First up is the 4th 3D Ultra Pinball game; the stock car themed 3D Ultra NASCAR Pinball. Next is the cyberpunk stylings of B.A.T. II: The Koshan Conspiracy, the bigger-budgeted sequel to last months adventure/RPG hybrid. The legendary developers at ORIGIN added some fantasy to their cyberpunk in the ahead-of-its-time FPS CyberMage: Darklight Awakening. Then travel back in time to a compilation of early Sierra graphical text adventures under the Hi-Res Adventures banner, including the official tie-in to The Dark Crystal film (damn, that Netflix prequel show was good!). Then, tend to a farm in another entry into Maxis' Sim series in the aptly titled SimFarm.

ReplyDeleteI could spend hours playing these types of games.
Thanks for uploading them Biff.
You're welcome!
DeleteEveryone interested in the history of adventure games should try Sierra's Hi-Res Adventures.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Origin games. I hope I can see Wings of Glory here. Since I don't think it's on Gog sadly
ReplyDeletePerhaps you may! I've not played it but it does look good. I've added it to my request list
