The Castle
1991
This game can be called an ancestor of the Worms game series. The goal is very simple: you need to destroy the enemy's fortress with the help of cannonballs. However, behind the simplicity, a far more intricate process is hidden. The Castle allows the player to customize the game settings to diversify each duel: you can change the curvature of the landscape and the height at which the fortresses are relative to each other; you can change the degree of influence of the wind on the shots; you can even choose the magnitude of the gravitational force and the number of hits after which the fortress is considered defeated.Kommersant

Kommersant is a Soviet computer game developed and released by the Kiev company Rada Ltd in 1991. The author of the game is Vladimir Kharchenko, better known as a poet and artist. The game was distributed free of charge through the FidoNet network and was released on bootleg game discs. Kommersant is an economic strategy in which events take place in real time, but are paused to await the user's reaction. The player takes on the role of a merchant, whose goal is to increase wealth through commercial transactions: buying and selling, depositing and loaning funds in a bank, buying from dubious persons at a low price, concluding various transactions, and the like.Pinocle Games

Rattler Race

Rattler Race
1991
Very much a snake game, Rattler Race adds a few twists to the long-held conventions of the genre (those being: you guide a snake from a top-down perspective, always in forward motion; it eats its targets and grows in length, but dies should it collide with any obstacles): in addition to a competing snake foiling your routes, a ball bounces around the play-field, Pong-style, killing your snake should the ball ricochet against its head. The other standout qualities are largely cosmetic: periodically enemy movement "freezes", giving the player a period of free motion; the opposing snake will also "eat" your targets (here "apples" -- occasionally bonus "golden apples") and grow longer, though it doesn't seek them out; gameplay can be conducted with as many as three opposing snakes and three bouncing balls complicating the playfield at once; you head for the exit once all apples are eaten, but the enemy snake(s) can exit instead, restarting the level. Triumph against all these odds and you get 29 more levels of similarJ.R.R. Tolkien's Riders of Rohan
1991
Another J.R.R. Tolkien based game, but specifically focused on the Two Towers story, starting right before the siege of Helm's Deep: the battle between the defending forces of Rohan and the attacking legions of the evil wizard Saruman. The game introduces a similiar style of play as War in Middle Earth, that is a macro-world map point of view which operates battles and movement of mass armies, and there's a micro point of view, a more 'action' approach where the original characters of the Fellowship can battle enemies at a smaller scale: shoot orcs from a ranged distance, fight them melee in an arcade fighting style or challenge them in a duel of magic.PowerMonger: World War 1 Edition
