More polygons than gamers ever saw in their whole life up until that point, but still not quite enough of them, in this 1996 id Software’s creation, along with 3D BSPs, lightmaps and a whole bunch of low resolution brownish textures. Thousands of internet multiplayer servers and total conversions followed the release. Two official mission packs and three sequels later the game still lives on.

An adventure with a twist and probably the most underrated LucasArts game. Music, magic, a whole bunch of swans and absolutely no inventory in this 1990 EGA gem. Tchaikovsky is probably spinning in his grave, but who cares? This short and sweet interactive story will help you relax and kill an hour or so.

The ‘best’ version of this game is probably on the FM Towns computer. This version has 256-color graphics, but no speech and has all of the graphics (close ups) and dialog from the EGA version intact as well as properly recorded music.
