Space: 1889 by Paragon, published by MicroProse in 1990 for DOS and Amiga. I will admit, Western CRPGs are not my forte. While I’ve had a longtime interest in games like Ultima and have dabbled in Fallout, I am by no means an expert. Still, I feel like Space: 1889 could have done a littleContinue reading “9/20/20 Space: 1889 (1990)”

9/14/20 Devious Designs (1991)
Devious Designs (1991) by Peter James Baron and Bob Stevenson, published by Mirrorsoft for Amiga. This game is… flawed? It’s a puzzle game where the aim is to assemble Tetris-like blocks into place to complete shapes that become recognizable objects. That’s a good enough concept that I actually enjoy quite a bit, as you mustContinue reading “9/14/20 Devious Designs (1991)”
Dungeon Master (1987)
Dungeon Master (1987) developed and published by FTL Games for DOS, Amiga, Apple IIgs, SNES, TurboGrafx-CD, PC-98, and more. This is a real gem for fans of Dungeon-crawling RPGs. As with many, many games of this era, Dungeon Master takes heavy influence from Dungeons and Dragons, with a few simplifications for the limits of theContinue reading “Dungeon Master (1987)”
Leather Goddesses of Phobos (1986)
Leather Goddesses of Phobos (1986) developed and published by Infocom, written by Steve Meretzky for DOS, Amiga, Commodore 64, Apple II, and many more. A tongue-in-cheek text adventure game with a fine balance of crude humor; the opening warning should tell you everything you need to know about its tone. You begin in a grimyContinue reading “Leather Goddesses of Phobos (1986)”
Astaroth: The Angel of Death (1989)
Astaroth: The Angel of Death (1989) by Eldritch the Cat and published by Hewson Consultants for Amiga. I don’t like this game. I want to like this game, it has a cool art style with nice pixel graphics, it has some surprisingly good music, it’s just that playing it is kind of miserable. You areContinue reading “Astaroth: The Angel of Death (1989)”
9/3/20- Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (1992)
Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (1992) by Westwood Studios and published by Virgin Games for DOS, Amiga, and Genesis. The first Real-Time-Strategy game is generally credited to Herzog Zwei for Genesis, which served as inspiration for this game, a sort of continuation of Frank Herbert’s seminal novel. While this doesn’t have *much* ofContinue reading “9/3/20- Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (1992)”
8/31/20- Moonmist (1986)
Moonmist (1986) developed and published by Infocom for DOS, Amiga, Apple II, Commodore 64, and others. Fun fact: This is the earliest game I or anyone else can find to feature an explicitly gay character; who that is, you’ll have to play to find out, as it’s integral to a major twist. This is oneContinue reading “8/31/20- Moonmist (1986)”
