Players compete to send hot air balloons higher into the sky than the opponent in this turn-based tactics game.
This game is very similar to Boloball, another Soleau Software puzzle game. The objective of Balloon Challenge is to get your 25 colored balloons as high as you can on the game board. The higher the balloon goes, the higher the points awarded. The player with the highest score at the end of the game is the winner.
There are many items to help or hinder your balloon from traveling higher. Dark clouds stop your balloon from going any higher. Hurricanes move your balloon to a different hurricane on the board. Airplanes destroy your balloon. Directional clouds move the balloon in the direction the arrow is facing.
Warlords is a strategic war game, fought out by eight different players, for the domination of the Kingdom of Illuria. It can be played by one to eight people, with the computer taking the remaining positions. The Kingdom of Illuria, after some severe internal disputes, has seethed under a sullen and uneasy peace. This truce has now disappeared, along with the arch-mage who imposed it. The eight empires of Illuria realize that this is their chance for total domination, a very unstable situation. Forces are being mobilized for conquest, and only one Supreme Warlord will prevail.
Your objectives in Warlords are brutally simple: to eliminate all organized opposition to your rule. To do this, you will have to control all eighty cities in the lands of Illuria, and thereby eliminate all seven opponents. There are many ways to achieve this, and brute force is just one of them. you might ally with dragons or wizards, or have your Heroes search out and wield magical swords that will tip the battle in your favor.

In contrast to many other games and unlike the name of the game announces, you don't fight against crimes, but you try to commit as many of them as possible. For example you can play pickpocket, raid supermarkets and hotels, steal cars, raid banks, attack mail trains, and so on. Since you are in a big town you have many different opportunities for this. As soon as you have a high standing in the criminal underworld, you are also able to sign on gangsters that join your gang. This gangsters then can be trained or equipped with weapons (for example with pistols or machine guns). Your aim is to seize the power in the underworld. But the way is very dangerous, especially since the other players try exactly the same. And also the police are hard on your heels....
The European Wars against Spain and France have been costly to the British Empire. In order to gain additional funds for the war effort, the Crown raise taxes from the New World colonies without representation. This act compels the New World colonies to protest and boycott against British rule. By 1775, the Crown alarmed by the protests, boycotts and politically instability in the New World sends troops to subdue any rebellious efforts by the New World colonists. This threatening approach provokes the Thirteen Colonies to revolt. Thus starts the War for Independence in the New World (American Revolutionary War).
Diggers is a Lemmings-style puzzle game where you command five alien miners (from a choice of four clans) and various gadgets to dig for treasure. The game is divided in excavation areas.

You select your "Diggers" by clicking on them with the left mouse button, and making them do a desired action by right-clicking on the screen and choosing from a icon menu.

In Air Force Commander the player takes command of a Middle Eastern country's air force to gain air superiority over the enemy. Like the title suggests this game focuses solely on aircraft and rocket bases. The main part of the game is spent on the overhead map where the player gives orders to his units, e.g. attacking ground targets and scouting or intercepting enemy forces. Different map views show information like targets in range, flight movements in the monitored zones or civil facilities. Another important aspect of the game is resource management: every base and unit cost resources. If these get scarce the player can shut down some bases. If the public mood gets too bad, e.g. because of destroyed civil facilities or food shortage, the player loses his commission and therefore the game.
