Interestingly, the shareware title was available from the BBS of Leeds Trinity and All Saints University, just as the next one was… 47. Dune It may not stand up to modern gaming in terms of the graphics, but it was an ace little addictive game that you couldn’t stop playing. “He who controls the Spice, controls the universe.” Dune for DOS was a great adventure strategy game that followed the novel quite closely. You played as Paul Atreides, managing mining the Spice production, the Fremen, and bringing the fight to the Harkonnen to drive them off Dune. It was a stunning game, with the later CD version having stills and clips from the film as well as speech.

The floppy disk version though was just as captivating, but those Spice demands were tough. An excellent game, even by today’s standards. Quite a disturbing adventure game this, as you play as one of five tortured characters trying to outwit the hateful Allied Mastercomputer, or AM as he likes to call himself.Ĭan you remember the opening? It’s about how much he hates humanity, how if every nanoangstrom of the 387 miles of circuitry was engraved with the word “hate,” that wouldn’t equal one one-billionth of the hate AM feels towards us. So it’s quite chipper.Īnyway, AM takes the character you choose into their past and throws them into their darkest fears.

With the voice of Harlan Ellison as AM (who also wrote the short story based on the game), there are some real tense and odd moments. Anyone recall playing as Gorrister and talking to Edna while she was strung up on a meat hook with slaughtered pig carcases? 45. Little Big AdventureĪdeline Software International’s Little Big Adventure was a 3D isometric adventure game that featured some of the best graphics of the time, and a compelling storyline. You played as Twinsen, one of several inhabitants of the planet Twinsun that is under the ruthless rule of Dr. You have to travel throughout the planet, and eventually, stop the evil doc’s plans to drill into its core. You could choose from four behavior modes: Normal, Sporty, Aggressive, and Discreet, with the latter having you tip-toe around to sneaky music. Little Big Adventure was a fantastic game. The CD version had animated cut-scenes, speech and more music.
