A great adaptation of various mythos. Personally I’ve always loved this game. It was my very first Video Game, thus AoM will always hold a special place in my heart.

Pajama Sam 2: Thunder And Lightning Aren’t So Frightening
An Instant Childhood Point-and-Click Classic from the Days of my Childhood, which consist of the old MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98 & Windows 98SE PCs in which you help Pajama Sam repair the Weather Machine at World Wide Weather by collecting all 4 of the missing parts for the Snow, Wind, Rain & Sun Machines (Automated Snowflake Inspector or ASI, Wignut, Y-Pipe & Velo Velocimomometer).

One of many Pajama Sam games I never played as a child.
This was lacking a few things: same bgm alternations throughout the game–pretty lack-a-daisy, the voice casting for lightning was a bit disappointing than what I imagined, game didn’t feel that all engaging overall unlike the first one. Title was a bit misleading along with the prologue, thought it was to go against Thunder and LIghtning, like going after Darkness in the first game, not help them… then again…
Still, that’s just minor things, and I’m being a bit nit-picky.

Putt-Putt® Joins the Parade
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IemD92bIcoY
An Instant Childhood Point-and-Click Classic from the Days of my Childhood which is a joy to play for Windows PCs, MS-DOS PCs & even the Panasonic 3DO Consoles in which you help Putt-Putt join the Cartown Pet Parade by Earning Money for a Carwash/New Paint Job, Finding Pep & Getting a Balloon.
As for the Voices in the game, I prefer the US Version over the Japanese Version when it comes to the Panasonic 3DO Import Version.

If George Orwell’s 1984 was encapsulated within the confines of the videogame medium, I believe it would resemble something very akin to Putt Putt enters the Parade. In terms of sheer oppression, fear mongering and propaganda to enslave it’s citizens, this game excels.
Our Story begins with the sun rising over a seemingly serene landscape, this source of light and life is humanised with a beaming face shining down upon the denizens of this world, clearly being our Big Brother figure of the eye in the sky. This world is devoid of religious imagery, so we as the player must assume the inhabitants of this world subscribe to more primitive methods of Sun Worship, only more worrying as his face smiles unblinking down upon his world. Shortly we are introduced to our protagonist.

Rise of Nations: Extended Edition
I am nominating Rise of Nations – Extended Edition {RoN-EE} for the 2020 “Labor of Love” award.
RoN-EE is the 2014 update of the “old” RTS from 2003,
when it won several GOTY awards for Big HUGE Games.
Despite its age, RoN has held up well, especially when I am in the mood for a quick Strategic War. A full-scale 1 v 3-or-4 game typically will run 60 minutes {game-time} or less.
Using ** pause /pause **can effectively make RoN-EE a TBS.

Rise of Nations: Extended Edition
The game from my childhood and the only strategy that I love to play even now. This is a remastered version of the game from 2003 and one of the most popular strategic games. Extended Edition contains the full contents with the addition of Thrones and Patriots. Rise of Nations offers a lot of nice campaign where our goal is to lead our nation to dominate the world. During the game you have to take care not to be destroyed by other nations but also develop a number of aspects such as economy, science, technology, diplomacy and military power. Each of these aspects will give you the opportunity to develop troops, build new buildings and to develop new opportunities in old buildings, but also move to a new era. With each progression of the game is changing the look and statistics buildings, military units and other things. Each nation has its own unique army as long as the nation still exists. In the game to expand, we have to use wood, stone, food, science, and oil at a later stage of the game, not forgetting that each of these resources can run out of. There is also an advanced diplomacy through which you can contain very beneficial agreement with other nation. In the game you can also play scenarios and multiplayer, but only with friends because no one plays. The game in terms of gameplay has hardly changed, improved graphics and added more resolution size. I like this production and do not regret a single hour spent at the game. Great soundtrack, an old but still nice graphics and a lot of things to do while playing the game. In my opinion this is the best strategy game I’ve ever played, many hours of fun for me. The game I am able to recommend, however, the game also has a bug that irritated me at first because I could not change my resolution because the game was crashing. However, it was manageable change in a text file.

Putt-Putt® Travels Through Time
game’s decent if i’m being honest
EDIT: I’ve put in a few more hours since the last review, and I now believe it needs a review update to properly do it justice. This game has grown on me, to the point where I play it daily. It always makes my day to click on something in the game and have it play a happy animation. My favorites are the bird in the bush behind Mr. Firebird’s workshop, the two monkeys behind the curtain in Putt-Putt’s house (I always say hello to them at the start of a game), the talking window on the stable from the view above Tire Flats, and the bird in the flower by the portal to the Castle (I really like the birds). Nothing can ever replace the presence game has in my life, and I’m fine with keeping it that way. It’s a shame this game is so underrated, and that more people won’t experience the lovable masterpiece that is Putt-Putt Travels Through Time. If there’s one complaint I would make (which I would never truly support, even at gunpoint), it’s that my dedication to this game has led to total collapse of my social life, and I’m struggling to find employment due to time it takes up in my daily routine. However, these issues are negligible in the face of Putt-Putt, because as soon as I load up the game, all my worries wash away.

Ever wonder what Back to the Future would be like if YOU were the DeLorean? Well, here you go!
“Putt-Putt Travels Through Time” is a wonderous journey where you continually screw up the space-time continuum because Putt-Putt is late for school and his dog never buckles his seat-belt. Throughout your journey, you meet a bunch of memorable characters and explore the different time zones (there’s f***g dinosaurs and cowboys and st!). In fact, the things you do in the past, present, and future change how the game is played. Also, the adventure changes every time you play the game again so there’s infinite replayability!

RollerCoaster Tycoon®: Deluxe
RCT Deluxe is one of those rare old gems that, no matter how much people try, has yet to have a spiritual successor fully recapture its essence or innovate in a meaningful way, and the reason for that is in the game’s fundamentally brilliant design: it’s a concise, well-balanced blend of extreme customization and structural rigidity, two seemingly-conflicting ideals that are perfectly intertwined. Coaster design, park layouts, scenery, and other aspects offer near-infinite variety, but the isometric view and deceptively simple and intuitive grid system offers a very acute precision to coaster refinement that allows a player to master the art of designing and redesigning coasters.
– Real player with 377.0 hrs in game
Where to begin? RollerCoaster Tycoon is arguably the best tycoon game of all time. The game’s development was mostly credited to only one man (Chris Sawyer), and was released in 1999. There were four games that defined my childhood. The Sims, Age of Empires II, Dungeon Keeper 2, and this.
RollerCoaster Tycoon truly gives you the power to make exactly the kind of amusement park you want to build. Even in the scenarios, it largely feels like a free building game; the game does not ask you to do anything you don’t want to do. For example, instead of asking you to build a park based on nothing but rollercoasters like some games might have implemented, Rollercoaster Tycoon simply plops you down on a plot of land and basically says, “Get this many guests and have a good park rating in three years. Have fun and buh-bye!” This game should be truly applauded for being a tycoon game that is not only great fun, but never turns into a chore by forcing you into situations where you feel you’re only doing something to beat a level. It gives you an end goal, and it’s up to you, the player, to decide exactly how you’ll get there.

Prepare to leap out of the frying pan, and into the fiery bowels of hell’s own molten magma kitchen stove in this all but candid, gritty, action thriller. Slay demons, vanquish peons, melt down physical embodiments of your own nightmares into piles of smoldering ash. Play as the gleaming jaws of justice known as Fredrick E. Fish with your glorious sidekick who owns the appearance of those peas you would always push around with your fork at the dinner table. Never again feel an empty hole within you, void of fish gutting, fin serating, slime slinging action; it is now right here at your fingertips' disposal. The only thing I could do when I launched this game was try and pick my jaw up from the floor due to the explosive impact of my kelp seeds being cast into oblivion. I can’t give this game a 10/10, it would be too meager. Fish/10, would find my kelp seeds again.

Zoombinis
Like many here, I purchased this because the original was a favorite from my childhood, and it’s with a heavy heart that I have to condemn this game with a negative review.
Gameplay is identical to the original. The puzzles have the same rules and mechanics, the only difference is graphical. Unfortunately, the graphic enhancements are the only positive thing this version does. The biggest issue is that the game cannot be completed due to one particular puzzle: Mirror Machine. The puzzle in this version of the game on the two hardest difficulties is mired with a myriad of glitches that force you to either take a wrong answer and lose a Zoombini due to not giving you the proper filters or abandon that attempt entirely due to the filters locking up and becoming unmovable. These glitches happen at random too, so it boils down to restarting the puzzle (and clearing the Lion’s Lair puzzle before it on Journey mode) repeatedly until the game decides to behave.

As someone who played the original Zoombinis 30 years ago I am happy to have this reboot. The logic puzzles are mostly challenging and fun, but there are a few flaws to beware. Some came with the original game, such as the Crystal Caves, which can get tedious when you’ve got to go through the same exercise 16 times, one for each Zoombini.
The bigger problem is one the developers could have fixed but failed to. The original game came with a manual, as did most games of that era. The manual explained the levels of difficulty as you advance through the game. The most simple example is the Allergic Cliffs. Level 1 is simple enough. One cliff is allergic to one characteristic. Figure out which one through trial and error, and send anyone with that trait in over the other bridge. But what is different in Level 2? It’s unclear. By level 4 you’ll feel like you’re randomly guessing because there is no information on how the rules have changed. To make it worse, there is a “?” symbol on each screen, which would have been the perfect place to add the original manual text. However the developers left the original text in there, which is nothing more than words of encouragement and of no help whatsoever.

Commander Keen
I love this game but wasn’t planning to review it. However, after seeing the E3 Trailer it inspired me to sit down and write a review about what makes the series great. Now other reviewers have pointed out that this is missing two games from the series; namely Keen Dreams and Aliens Ate my Babysitter. These are missing because the rights to these two games are owned by other companies not interested in selling them; but the games you do get are amazing.
Keen 1; Marooned on Mars was my first platformer. It starts off simple but gradually ramps up the difficulty. My four year old son loves this game; and he can complete most parts (still needs dad’s help for the big jumps and for killing the Vorticons (Kangaroos he calls them). As far as level design it has the most thought put into it and has many little tips and tricks.

NOTE: This is not the “complete” CK collection. It’s missing CK 6, and from what I understand, it’s because ID software lost the rights to publish it. Also the games run very slow on full screen and while they run fine when windowed, it’s far to small then. This seems to be the case since steam uses an out dated dosbox(0.70 I think). You can update the dosbox but you need to go to the community guides. I didn’t like the hassle, so I played these games outside of steam. All these things are a very resonable deal breaker. However, my review will be on the games themselves.

RollerCoaster Tycoon® 2: Triple Thrill Pack
Where I grew up, in rural eastern Ukraine, in the early 2000’s, there was no internet, no smartphones, no kfc and NO FREE PORN! There was however intel pentium…and Roller Coaster Tycoon!!. I remember spending hours, meticulously building my park from scratch, earning milions on big rides and food, attracting 6k+ guests into my park…and then torturing them, by cutting off the escape routes, flooding paths and charging $15 for toilet. And it was magical, pure joy. Even now, with the graphics definitely looking tired, it will bring you hours of very simple fun, build a ride and see how much you can charge before guests say its enough. Or starve them, then build one burger bar, put a very steep price and watch money flooding in. Or even better, build a coaster that will eventually crash, then comfort all the mourners with free black balloons…and free rides on the coaster that just has crashed! Yes, this game was always my favourite, a safe haven where I could unleash all my sadistic fantasies! And after all these years, nothing has changed, I still love to see the message ‘Robert D. has just drowned’.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is likely my favorite game of all time.
I’ve put much more than 500 hours into it spanning my entire life and continued to play it as a non-steam game whilest it was not available on Steam. When I saw that it was, my wallet got sad, because in just a few moments my money was gone.
This is in my opinion THE best RollerCoaster video game in existance, and well for that matter in my opinion the best Tycoon game of any developer. Everything is made to a precise definity and managing your park is easy, but at the same time heavily difficult! The more you know about how to play this game, the more fun it becomes.
