The observation balloons report: Incoming boxshots for Red Baron, accompanied by the feared balloon buster family "War Map of the Western Front", consisting of the eponymous father and the sons "War Map of the Western Front in the Verdun Region" and "War Map of the Western Front in the Dunkirk Region".
"This attack bears the hallmarks of wizardofOz!", the general screams, and escapes.
Wait no more! It's been a long time, I know, but the Queens are mobilising, the males are growing their wings, the soldiers are dripping venom, and the workers are bustling. It's time to expand the colonies, go to war, and breed new generations to take the species ever onward and upward...
Yes, SimAnt has been unprotected. So put on your dungarees and get out your ant-farming tools!
It's time tu build a castle, gather an army, and start a war! All of that is happening because King Charles have died and as he had no children, the bravest and wealthiest of French nobles are starting thier quest to claim the throne.
That job will be easier as today we add on site a set of Reference Cards. If you do not need these to play - you can always check new boxshots. All of these were submitted by UltimaIX.
A bunch of aliens from the future have invaded Earth and are trying to destroy it in 3 different time periods...Damn.
Who cares? In Chasm - The Rift you're going to be too busy dismembering them with your guns. You heard me: You can dismember enemies, with GUNS! Does the enemy have a big rocket launcher? Shoot his hand off. Is he too fast? Make his legs worthless.
Thanks to bob-satan, you can now play this overlooked gem, and well.... go kick some alien butt!
I found scans of the manual for Digger on Andrew Jenner's Digger.org, and compiled them into a PDF. I also added it to Digger Remastered since it applies there as well. For technicalities, you should however refer to the DIGGER.TXT in the game archive. This readme even has the manual in plain text near the end.
Apart from that, you can now get Andrew's level editor for Remastered here. Or you download a whole extras pack at his site, containing the level editor, extra levels, icons, Windows 95 file associations, the hall of fame games, a screensaver and a utility to extract the high scores from an old Digger floppy disk and convert them to a DIGGER.SCO file.
Welcome, cadets, to your new home - the Confederation Academy, the biggest and the best institution for young recruits like you, hoping to become one day genuine Wing Commanders. From now on, all of you will learn, among many things, advanced flying techniques, how to repair your aircraft, how to destroy Kilrathi scum, how to wash your socks, and most important of all - discipline. Now please follow the officer into the residential area. Dismissed.
The Universe wouldn't be safe without our latest game on site, Origin's Wing Commander Academy. This spinoff is available on Abandonia thanks to Eleima512, who has supplied the archive, the review and additional extras stuff. A pair of anti-gravity boots goes to our precious contributor as reward.
Whatever you might be, a local usurper, the king of a nation, or a galactic emperor, you need to use different methods in order to keep your power over the population. I'm sure you've used a few of them in the past, ranging from assassinations and lies, to public speeches and festivals. But the most used technique, that guarantees instant success, is called... God Mode.
Sorry about that, you only use God Mode when you play the role of a space marine disemboweling aliens or a crusader decapitating demons and vampires. Strategies and RPGs are a bit more complex. There, your only option is often a saved file editor. So today we've added two editors, made personally by our member, Rogerwilco. One editor for Supremacy: Your Will Be Done (aka Overlord) and the second one is for Heroes of Might and Magic.

The ESA throne lies empty in 2009 A.D. Thus, epic medieval strategist ultimaIX was able to reap the benefits of his successful feudal scanning, castle-building, castle-sieging, and land battles. He conquered his rivals and claimed the boxshots! Enhanced CD-ROM version for the Crown!
...a new line of magical products. Better, classier... superb. And to celebrate this, we're organizing a national sweepstake.

From now on you can admire on Return To Zork's gamepage a couple of boxshots from Activision's "Essential Collection" edition of the game, the Copy Protection answers and the exceptional Encyclopedia Frobozzica (the manual). Golden Dragons fly to Frodo as a gift in exchange for her precious scans.
"Juggers! Juggers! Juggers coming! Juggers coming!"
You could hear this outcry exactly 20 years ago. Movie The Blood of Heroes (AKA Salute of the Jugger) was released on the 19th October 1989 in Australia. It is about brutal sport in post-apocalyptic world of despair. Juggers are the ones with the courage to dream of more, playing against people of the same kind while every match could be their last.
This is one of my favorite movies, but since there is no game based on it, we will add two games today: one that is post-apocalyptic and one that is about another brutal sport.
The first addition for today is Roadwar 2000, unique text-based RPG. Gather your road gang in post-apocalyptic USA and become the strongest one. Time for some hard playing, or more precisely, for some hard driving.
"Ladies and gentleman! Welcome to speedball... the sport of the future!"
Faster than hockey, meaner than wrestling. Speedball is the action sport of the 21st century. Build your team, beat your opponents, do anything you can. There is only one rule - win!
Play hard, have fun...
