Negotiations have collapsed, border positions have been strengthened and troops are building up on all major fronts. The world has split in two, a line drawn between east and west, two mega-powers face each other, armed and ready for war.
An obscure arcade-style game for the Amiga and Atari ST. The player tries to collect all dots to proceed to the next level, while avoiding enemies and hazards. Jumping and attacking rely on limited, collectible ammunition.
Storyline is fairly simple. The character is an assassin that has been hired to kill the antagonist of the game, "Midan". He is then dropped behind enemy lines and must first disable Midan's power source, and then assassinate him. Assassin: Special Edition is a re-release with some various gameplay elements altered. The assassin is armed with a laser gun.
Arena is a puzzle game with strong action elements. In each of the about a hundred levels, the player controls a spaceship from a top-down perspective and needs to arrange diamonds in a certain order. Similar to Atomix, once pushed, those diamonds keep going until they meet an obstacle like a wall or a teleporter. Some of the obstacles can be interacted with. This means the player needs to plan ahead in order to avoid getting into an unwinnable situation. However, the level can be restarted up to three times without repercussions. The action part comes into place with various enemies which roam around the screen. It should be avoided to touch them as they can harm the player's life energy or even relocate him to a former level. These enemies can be shot with the ship's weapon, but sometimes they are required to solve the puzzle. There are also power-ups to pick up, e.g. a shield.
You choose one of four warriors (Corben Wedge, Wakantanka, Sarmon or the topless Demona) and try to battle your way through a series of baddies ('Street Fighter' style) until you reach the final boss: Qwesul! On the way you get the chance to 'Rescue' the other fighters you could have chosen after you beat them in a fight. After that you get to choose which fighter to take with you into the next arena, depending on who you think will work best for that fight.
Brigade is a real-time wargame pitting the player against a computer opponent. Unless you physically pause the game, the computer opponent does not wait for you to move. It thinks and acts on its own, in real time. The game is played on a grid of hexagons, each hex represents an area of 500 meters from side to side. On this mapboard, units maneuver and attack under the control of their respective commanders. Brigade is a scenario-driven game in which the features of the mapboard, the composition of the opposing forces and their goals are dependent on which scenario is being played.
Brides of Dracula is a two-player split-screen game similar to Spy vs. Spy in gameplay. Each player (human or CPU) controls either the vampire hunter Van Helsing or Count Dracula. Van Helsing is summoned to the Bistritz village to kill Dracula and his brides. His goal is to find thirteen tools to kill Dracula, bring them back to Helsing's home and store them in the cupboard. For Dracula, the objective is to create thirteen brides by finding women, biting and leading them back to the crypt, where thirteen coffins are lined up waiting for their recipients.
Both characters can be killed by certain hazardous environments and non-player characters (NPCs). Some of these dangers may effect only one of the characters (ghouls only attack Van Helsing, while priests and villagers only harm Dracula). Each player starts with three lives. Collected objects and women are displayed at the bottom of the character window, along with the health bar. The game takes place in the church cemetery and the adjacent village.
