Quick Majik Adventure
1991
Ostensibly the shareware version of a more robust, non-quick Majik Adventure, as with their later Dragon Hunt this is a bit of a graphical roguelike, placing a fantasy adventurer smack in the middle of level 75 of a series of random and devious dungeons, filled to the gills with treasures and hostile creatures. As an earlier effort Neurosport hadn't yet extruded the perspective into three bewildering dimensions here, and so we still retain the traditional top-down view, prettied up (and range-of-view constrained) with a graphical tile set.Daloman Depths

ANIMAC
1991
23rd-century Earth is a good place to be: after an atypically friendly first contact with an alien species, the planet's ills have been cured and peace reigns supreme. But some will always resist change, let alone utopian ideas. One such organization was the innocently-named American Neutral Investigators, and its leader Mapier was exiled off-planet for disturbing the peace. This decision did not prove far-sighted however; Mapier worked diligently, pirating and destroying, harvesting debris, alien technology and raw materials, and gradually built up a huge armed space fortress from which the ANI continue to terrorize known space. This is where the player comes in, piloting an infiltrator ship into the bowels of the ANI's Mapierian Anti-Complex (ANIMAC) to find and destroy the central command. The meandering tunnels burrowing through the planet-sized base consist of hundreds of different rooms, littered with automated defenses, mines and hostile drones, while the Infiltrator only packs a single forward-firing photoWhere in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Enhanced Edition
1991
In pursuing the notorious Carmen Sandiego, you start out as a rookie detective whose job is to track down a sudden crop of thieves stealing the world's most precious treasures. After a quick print out of your assignment, you'll be given a deadline to capture the thief that stole the artifact using clues dealing with your knowledge of geography. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? Enhanced edition features spiffy VGA graphics, good sound effects, joystick support, and a convenient menu bar that's static even in-game. There's also the usual Hall of Fame, Detective Roster, and a Dossier profiling 10 suspects. If you're into edutainment with as little fuss as possible, Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? is just the game you've been looking for and more. You may, in fact, be playing numerous games after arresting Carmen because it's different each time you play.Big Blue Disk #54

Koolah
1991
Koolah is an English spelling of the Finnish word 'kuula' meaning the 'metal ball', that can't be squeezed and is used in the game as main protagonist. The game's idea was taken from a children's board game, where one tries to guide a metal ball through a wooden maze without touching the ball. The ball is controlled with two knobs on the side of the maze. One of the knobs leans the maze horizontally and the other vertically. The route through the maze is drawn on it, but there are holes along the route that easily swallow the ball.Hextris

Neverwinter Nights
1991
Neverwinter Nights is a computer game released in 1991. It was developed by Stormfront Studios and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. and ran on MS-DOS. It was the first multiplayer online role-playing game to display graphics, and was hosted on AOL. Neverwinter Nights was developed with gameplay similar to other games in the Gold Box series. Players begin by creating a character. After creating the character, gameplay takes place on a screen that displays text interactions, the names and current status of one's party of characters, and a window which displays images of geography marked with various pictures of characters or events. When combat occurs, gameplay switches to full-screen combat mode, in which a player's characters and enemies are represented by icons which move around in the course of battle. Situated in the city of Neverwinter and more than twenty surrounding regions/areas, the game itself was similar to other official AD&D Forgotten Realms games of its time.

J.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.
