Following an attack on his cargo-ship by an army of homicidal beechwood armchairs Jacaranda Jim is forced to crash land on the strange world of Ibberspleen IV.
Rescued from the burning wreckage by the mysteriously smug Alan the Gribbley, Jim has to do battle with manic-depressive deckchair attendants, the Ibberspleen Post Office and a very sinister network of dank caves. What is the secret of the floating sphere? Why has Alan been hypnotized? What would you do with a cucumber, a gin-spitting pirate and a piece of gristle? No, don't answer that.

In 3-D Helicopter Simulator, fly the McDonnell Douglas AH-64A Apache attack helicopter. The game allows the player to fly over various locations, or play in a target practice and combat modes. Two players can compete via a modem.
This two-player, ASCII-based arena combat game has a backstory: you and your co-pilot have been busted by Galactic police for smuggling illegal goods. As it turns out, Galactic justice doesn't screw around, and in a touch of Imperial Roman flair, you've both been tossed into a labyrinth to duke it out with each other gladiator-style. Only one will emerge alive.
Each player is given a ship, which can shoot in four directions at once. The arena's layout changes on every round, but the premise remains the same - maneuver your combat ship around the playing field, use the walls for cover, and kill your opponent. The first player to win ten rounds will emerge victorious.
As the game begins you find yourself standing on board the Titanic, on her maiden voyage. Of course, that particular voyage was never completed! Your goal is to survive and somehow get back to your home in the United States. Most of your time will be spent solving numerous problems and dangers that arise, like starvation and drowning. If you've played any of Infocom's famous text games you will notice that Beyond the Titanic is quite similar to Zork and Planetfall.
