UPDATED ON: 2026-01-05 It is New Year and i’ve decided to replay the whole series, since it is so amazing and so atmospheric. I think that one of the main attractions for the game is almost total absence of people and incredible soundtrack. For a good reason it reminds me of classic [Myst] from 1993. [Fireproof Games] is know for their android-based quest series [The Room] . Addictive puzzle quest wrapped in beautiful 3D environment with plenty of interactive action.

UPDATED ON: 2024-09-06 Added two history videos. Not many people know about Japanese console [Neo Geo] . It was pretty powerful and brought arcade machine quality to home gaming. Pulse-pounding and jaw-dropping action scrollers were a calling card of Japanese gaming device. Comparatively to more common [Super Nintendo] and [MegaDrive] it was advertised as console with 24-bit GPU bus, which allows very big 2D-sprites, supporting up to 4096 colors. By release time [31 Jan 1990] it was super impressive.

UPDATED ON: 2022-02-28 Another [quality game] from my childhood. This time, turn-based tactical combat. It’s addictive game-play coupled with stunning atmosphere make it so great. Emotive Adlib FM music bring up even more intrigue to classy style of this masterpiece. Some gameplay videos for deeper immersion. INTRO MISSION [ORIGINAL OST PLAYLIST] [XCOM LEGACY OST PLAYLIST] Heavily inspired by original one, not those orchestral epic crap. Also you should definitely check [open-source remake] of the original game.

My favorite game of all times. Thanks to it I’ve learn English [to some kind of degree] and even was almost expelled from university. What a neat memories. I was totally obsessed with deep “in game” atmosphere. Cyberpunk post-apocalyptic stuff, you know what I’m saying and those incredible ambient from master [Mark Morgan] . Can firmly confirm that modern series of this franchise don’t provide such immersion. As for backdrop music, Mark Morgan in Fallout ½ set quality bar to unreachable level.

Everybody count Mortal Kombat on PC or King of the Fighters on NeoGeo as best fighting games ever. I have another opinion on that. The most dynamic and neck-breaking fighting game is WWF. World Wrestling Federation. Fluid VGA animations and cool atmosphere, spiced-up with best combo system in the world, that’s the key to neat fighting game. It is extremely underrated! In my childhood i’ve managed to do 32-hit combo by Shawn Michaels.
