Knight Orc

MCP — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:48:15 +0000

"Level 9's breakthrough game and the game that first showcases its new robust engine, Knight Orc was one of the first games to give a voice to a villain: in this case, you play an orc named Grindleguts, who was abandoned by his buddies after a night of (what else) partying. The orcs, caught unawares by a troop of human knights, arrange for a 'Contest of Champions' to take place in the morning. They tie our anti-hero Grindleguts to a horse and give him a lance to defend himself.

UMS - The Universal Military Simulator

MCP — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 01:52:16 +0000

"A poor man's Empire, UMS is a very ambitious abstract wargame that attracts a minor following among hardcore wargamers, but fails in the bigger market. M. Evan Brooks sums it up in his synopsis: 'A visual feast, but a playable desert, UMS was incorrect on two counts -- it was neither universal nor a simulator. It lacked a naval option, and the user interface was quite clumsy. The initial disk included the Battles of Arbela, Hastings, Marston Moor, and Waterloo (the last of which omitted the Prussians entirely).'

"Corruption is one of Magnetic Scrolls' interactive fiction games. It is also one of the few 'real world' based games (ie: no elves, magic, etc).

You play a stockbroker on the fast track to riches when suddenly there are attempts on your life and the words 'insider dealings' floating around!"

"Sticking with the 'real-world' theme, the manual is in the form of filofax pages, complete with ring binder holes for you to put into your actual filofax." --MobyGames.com
