Rockys Boots
The 6th game from this '80s streak we're having (which is kind of unplanned, I just noticed it) is part of a series of educational games produced by the aptly named Learning Company. Our dedicated reviewer guesst has provided us this challenging puzzle game: Rocky's Boots.

DStroy
After all those 80ies updates, it's nice to see we only have to go beck 10 years for this one: DStroy is a 1995 Bomberman look-a-like which even has a storyline to follow. Alternatively you can just blow up stuff :)

8088 Othello
Well you got your 90s game so we can come back to the glorious 80s. I don't know how many of you know the game Othello. I've never really gotten into it but I sometimes won games out of pure luck. Anyway now you've got it right here in case you want to try it out, and it's a really tiny download too, so don't be stingy.

Gertrudes Secrets
And now for something completely different. Today's update completes Learning Company's "educational trilogy": Gertrude's Secrets takes a step down in the difficulty scale compared with its predecessors, which can be either a good or a bad thing. Cookies to guesst for passionately reviewing and providing all the three games!

Pirates of the Barbary Coast
Sorry about the late update. The Crypt seems to be well stocked lately. Todays update is good for quick games. You must sail the seas and rescue your daughter from the Pirates of the Barbary Coast.

Robocop
He's half man, half machine, all cop. We all know who that's about, don't we? It's Murphy, aka RoboCop. Get those bad guys, that terrorize the city...

Dawn Patrol
Today we have for you probably one of the greatest World War I simulations ever. Fight for freedom and justice in Dawn Patrol! However, there are still 6 copies left of this game on CDAccess, but as soon as those copies are sold, the game will be declared abandoned and we will host it on the site. :)

African Adventure
Hello everybody! Today's the 21st of June, and if you look at any calendar you'll notice it's summer solstice and especially Ines' Birthday: you may know her as a close relative to this site's creator and this site's creator's creator, which would make her this site's creator's creator as well (creator-ess? will check). She's also our special envoy in Congo, so today's game is dedicated to her endeavours: African Adventure, a "modern" text-based game. The review is a bit strict with it, but hell if it didn't fit today's update.

Xenon
Xenon is Bitmap Brothers' obscure predecessor of "Xenon 2: Megablast". It's nothing like that game however, but still is a nice top-down shooter. Mediocre graphics are compensated by decent gameplay. Have fun with this one!

Lost in Time
This special update was requested as a birthday gift to Mojca, whom we all know as Rainwife! It's an excellent adventure game called Lost in Time in which you play a young woman who stumbles into all kinds of bizarre situations... Happy adventuring and happy Birthday from Abandonia's updaters as well, Rainwife!
