Quentin McCloud must rescue clan members during a journey across his world in this game for the Jaguar CD. Quentin is portrayed in 3D, as are his enemies, but most of his world is in 2D (much like Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil). Unfortunately, the 3D polygon construction of the characters is hideous, though the backgrounds and cut scenes are well done. The first-person control scheme has promise, but suffers from multiple problems. If Quentin is attacked from behind, by the time he pivots, he's usually dead. Highlander is a mediocre game deserving of consideration from Highlander fans but, even considering the scarcity of Jaguar CD titles, probably best left alone by others.

Duck Shoot recreates the classic fairground shooting gallery experience in a digital format. Players control a gun at the bottom of the screen, aiming to shatter six plates positioned at the top while navigating four rows of moving targets in between. The game challenges players to balance their primary objective of breaking plates with the opportunity to score bonus points by hitting other moving objects. Adding to the challenge, ducks periodically swoop down, depleting the player's limited ammunition if they reach the bottom. A special duck traversing the top of the screen can restore shot plates if it completes its journey, introducing a strategic element to the gameplay. The game continues until the player exhausts their ammunition, which is visually represented by a bar beneath the gun, creating a constant tension between accuracy and resource management.

Flip Hero's first adventure against the evil Cruiser Tetron. Hero is an Indie game released in 2004, made by Daniel Remar. Hero strives to recreate the feeling of old action exploration games - you get no map of the game worlds, so you may have to draw your own.

The game is rather short, but older people may find that it gives them that familiar retro feel.
