| final. Forget about going through an entire tournament just to reach the finals; in this game you're automatically there! The game is so easy that you can win quicker than greased lightning. If you ever get the chance to play it, you'll know what I mean. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| International Soccer: hey, it's pretty good for a game made in the 80's! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I managed to buy some CD-ROM's entitled Future Games sometime in late 2000. Although the games were really for computers with Windows 95 (I have Windows 98), they still were highly enjoyable. There were I'd say more than 100 games in total out out the fours discs I bought (they were a bargain at $2 each. Hell, the money I find in ticket machines could easily buy that!) There were all sorts of games. Action, adventure, strategy, RPG, fantasy, sports, etc. I enjoyed many of these games, including Shooting Gallery, Mah Johgg, Abrams (tank game), Lucky Stars (another casino game, I swear, these are highly addictive!), Dagger's Rage (sort of an outer space game), Shivers, Bermuda Syndrome and many others. But out of all these games, only two truely stand out from all the rest; Excellent Card Games and Hunter Hunted. Are you sick of playing solitaire and freecell on your computer? Well, I found some other card games that are 10 times as better. Excellent Card Games is really good. I've only played the first version (there are three) but by the time you've read this, I hope to have played the other two. On the first version, there are five card games that you can play; Yukon, Black Maria, Baroness, Stonewall and Frustration. Believe me, Baroness and Frustration are very addictive. I once played Baroness for nearly an hour without realising how much time I spent until the end of my "binge". You can download these games and see for yourself at the Tower Software website. Hunter Hunted however is a much better game. The story goes that it's the year 2015, and humanity has been wiped out by a brutal alien race. They force both humans and other breed of monsters called Garathe Den (who come from a different planet) to fight each other TO THE DEATH in the guts of destroyed cities. I played this game for hours literally. Muliplayer is the best, you don't even need a modem or network connection to play! You can download the demo at Games Academy but when I went to that site it was offline temporarily. I also created a Hunter Hunted page on Expage with all these great links. The official Hunter Hunted site has been archived and you can now view it here. Well, I hope you know now that a game doesn't have to have good graphics to be 100% good. Some day, everyone will know.
