The Chessmaster 3-D
1996
Based on the popular computer chess program, The Chessmaster 3-D for the PlayStation allows players to challenge a friend or one of 12 virtual chess opponents. Each computer-controlled opponent is rated according to ability. There are also six unique chess sets (each with animated pieces) from which to choose, including Alphabet, Celestial, Deco, Mechanical, Modern, and Staunton. If you need assistance in deciding which pieces to move in order to secure a checkmate, the ChessMaster is available to lend a helping hand. You can perfect your chess playing skills using various teaching options; you can even view the computer's thought process as it "thinks" through each move. While this is obviously a 3D title, you can switch the camera angle for a more traditional two-dimensional perspective. The camera is adjustable in that you're able to zoom it in and out until you find a view that is to your liking. You can even switch playing sides (from black to white pieces or vise versa) or simply have a quick look at the otheTwilight Syndrome Tansaku-hen
1996
Every high-school has its own dark secrets. Well, maybe not every; but in Japan, this seems to be a rather popular theme. Mysterious disappearances, ghostly photographs, untimely deaths, eerie sounds coming out of the music room - all these things attract the curiosity of three high-school girls: Yukari, Mika, and Chisato. At night, armed with nothing but a flashlight, the trio of heroines enters the dark school building, prepared to explore every corner, and investigate every urban legend they have heard of... Tansaku-hen opens the Twilight Syndrome horror adventure series, defining its stylistic traits and gameplay. The game is divided into chapters, each dedicated to a particular "ghostly" story. Unlike most Japanese-style adventures, there is physical character navigation in the game; the player moves digitized images of the three girls on 2D backgrounds, in a manner somewhat similar to side-scrolling games - though many areas feature a third dimension, like in Western third-person perspective adventures. TheAmerican Oudan Ultra Quiz
1996
America Ōdan Ultra Quiz is based on the Japanese TV show of the game name. Like the original show, the game focuses on trivia questions solely related to the United States of America.

A special travel mode allows the player to visit various locations in the USA, including notable airports, beaches, sports stadiums, and other popular travel destinations. Each of these locations has its own challenges in additional to the trivia questions. For example, in Las Vegas the player's answers are further configured by a slot machine, in Santa Fe the player is prompted to run a certain distance by rapidly pressing keys, etc.NHL FaceOff

Lone Soldier
1996
"The aliens have stolen a super missile and will not hesitate to use it unless we pay their ransom demand, which is a large amount of Uranium." "You soldier, must enter the enemy zone and retrieve this missile by causing disruption among their troops and then taking out the alien scum." " I must warn you that you will move very slow and your motions will appear sluggish. When ambushed by the enemy do not attempt to shoot back as you will probably die because the on-screen cross-hair will take an age to reach it's intended target. Oh, and soldier, do not attempt to shoot your weapon while running.... as it will not work." "You will come across a number of vehicles which can be blown up with the rocket launcher that you will find during the game." "Just one more thing soldier, if a tree or a bush suddenly pops up right in front of you do not worry, as they are only frequent glitches that spoil the gameplay." "That's all soldier, do you have anything to say before you embark upon this suicide mission?"Pac-Man

Pac-Man
1995
The Namco Museum port of Pac-Man. This version of the game, introduced in Namco Museum Volume 1 (1995), is notable for being perhaps the most frequently rereleased "official" version of Pac-Man from 1995 to 2005. This version of the game often featured a border based on the classic Puckman artwork surrounding it. Being based off the original's source code, it is mostly faithful to the arcade version, but a few things were altered in gameplay: Pinky always aims exactly four spaces in front of Pac-Man when in chase mode (in the original, this became four spaces up and four spaces to the left when Pac-Man was facing up, due to a glitch). Inky's behavior has been considerably altered; he exclusively aims for Blinky's position in chase mode. The ghosts' eyes will not travel up through the one-way paths when returning to regenerate. When a ghost is sent back to the Ghost Home to regenerate, they will always come back out instantly, even if Pac-Man lost a life on the current round. (Incidentally, this fixes a glitch th
