| Seymour at the
movies A fun game in the Dizzy mould,
but with a lot more adventure elements. Guide a movie star (Seymour) around a
studio, collecting objects and solving puzzles - all to make sure that a movie
gets made. A great game, and a very big one by speccy standards.

| Seymour - Take
One
(Magazine cover game)A
mini game based on the above, and the one that inspired me to go out and buy the
full version of Seymour. Run around a mini movie set, do the whole "use object
A at location B" thing, and then act out a little movie (which you get to watch
at the end of the game). Great fun

| Shadow Warrior
*A
must download*The best beat-em-up
ever released on the speccy in which you play a lone warrior out for revenge (just
like every other side scrolling beat-em-up). The graphics were incredible, the
sprites were big and detailed, and the moves looked great. The only downer was
that after the first level or so it got very difficult, but that just adds to
the fun.

| Short Circuit
1 and 2 Both games are based
on the first Short-circuit movie. The first is a great little adventure game,
and the second is a side scrolling game where you must avoid various obstacles
until you got to the end of the level, out of the two I played the first one the
most. It incorporated some great features, such as the way you could download
new abilities (search, read etc.) from computer terminals, and of course the classic
"use object with object" adventure elements.

| Space Crusade
*A
must download* Based on the
board game of the same name, this is a turn based, squad strategy game which sees
you entering various derelict spaceships in order to rid them off alien nasties
(including the Gieger-esque Gene Stealers). The game was noteworthy at the time
because it managed to combine a wealth of interesting features with incredible
graphics - I remember my jaw dropping the first time I saw a Dreadnought in the
Isometric view. I'm still playing the PC version today, thats how good this game
is.

| Spy vs Spy
A really fun, slapstick two-player game. Two
spies are trapped in an air port and to exit they must find four objects and stop
the other spy doing the same by placing traps around the game area. But beware,
its quite easy to run into your own traps if you forget where you placed them.

| Time Machine
A very interesting game in which you play a
time travelling professor who must alter the course of history by solving various
puzzles in the past. The graphics where good and the difficulty level was just
right (and some of the puzzles were very original.)
