4x4 Off-Road Racing

4x4 Off-Road Racing

Commodore 64 - Released - 1988

In 4x4 Off-Road Racing you need logical reasoning and driving skills. Before you start you can choose between several cars, which vary by weight and power. There are many routes to choose from where the "hard-core" race is then carried out. Before it finally comes to the start, you have to choose from a pool of provided tools and extras for your car. E.g. your car can be equipped with a bigger tank, bigger tyres and a cable winch to get easier through the race. The tank allows you to fuel more gas, to make less stopovers. The "A/T tyres" help you, to get safely through the quicksand and the cable winch helps you with steep slopes. When you have retooled your car accordingly, you go on to the supermarket where you can buy things like fuel, oil, coolant, gear oil, spare battery, spare tyres, tools, mechanics, map, food&drinks and so on. But you have to be careful not to buy too much, as you have only limited space in your car.

You can also buy upgrades and repairs, including carrying some spares. There are four different areas in which you can race, each taking place on a different surface - Mud, Ice, Desert, and Mountains. Each of these is littered with hazards, which can either be painstakingly avoided or driven through (with the resultant risk of damage).

The game was followed in 1991 by California Games II, but the sequel failed to match the original's success.

Oil Barons

Oil Barons

Apple II - August 25, 1983

Oil Barons is both a strategy and simulation-type, turn-based game, published by Epyx in 1983. It was released for the Apple II, Commodore 64 and MS-DOS computers. It is considered to be one of the rarest of all Epyx games. Oil Barons represents an unusual fusion between a computer game and a board game, in that it included a game board consisting of a 50 X 40 square grid, as well as numerous individual game tokens, used to denote the significance of various grid locations (which corresponded to various terrain-specific locations within the game). Oil Barons was thus much like a numerically complex board game, in which the computer kept track of the numerous variables. The game could be played in any one of several modes, and with from one to eight players. Unfortunately, the fact this game has been out-of-print since the mid-1980s, and thus very few people today have an Oil Barons game board and tokens (particularly in light of the fact that only a very small number of copies were sold when it was in publication), potentially limits the game's appeal in contemporary times.

Oil Barons

Oil Barons

Commodore 64 - Released - 1983

Requires game board and 200 game pieces. Oil Barons is a turn based strategy game for one to eight players. The object of the game is to accumulate the most wealth by locating and drilling for oil. During the game you will need to survey different lands ranging from the arctic to the desert for oil potential, choose the best sites and drill! Congress may pass bills from time to time which forbid drilling in parks and other reserved lands, which may or may not affect a players strategy. Several modes of gameplay are featured, including regular classic, reality mode (oil locations are more randomized at the beginning of the game, and costs are supposed to more closely resemble those in real life), and customized modes. Included with the game is a game board with a 50x40 grid of the landscapes you can drill in, and dozens of game pieces to keep track of which locations belong to a player and where oil has (or has not) been discovered. This makes Oil Barons resemble a board game, but with a computer to do the bookkeeping and add a random element instead of dice.

Pitstop II

Pitstop II

Commodore 64 - Released - 1984

Race Formula-1 in several tracks while trying to beat a computer, or human opponent. Pay attention to your fuel and tires: It will be necessary to drive into a pitstop to swap them out and refuel. Tire damage is indicated by their colour; they start off black and become lighter as they take damage. Once they have turned white, a collision will send the car off the track. Six different tracks are available to race on, including Brands Hatch and Vallelunga. Tracks can be played singly, or all together in a Grand Prix contest. When playing the Grand Prix, this is scored in the same way as the real contest. Players can select how many laps they want to race and 3 different skill levels. This is the first 3D racing game to implement a split-screen simultaneous two-player game mode. Players could be in completely different places on the racing track, and each split screen would show the view of the track according to the player's position.

Robots of Dawn

Apple II - Released - August 27, 1984

In this text adventure based on Isaac Asimov's science fiction detective novel The Robots of Dawn, the player takes the role of Earth detective Elijah Baley, who is sent to the Spacer world of Aurora to investigate the murder of Dr. Han Falstofe, a prominent roboticist and constructor of humaniform robots. Suspects include Falstofe's political and professional rival Dr. Kelden Amadiro, his surrogate daughter Gladia, his biological daughter Vasilia, or ladies' man Gremionis, who was rejected by Gladia. Even Baley's robot friend and partner, R. Daneel Olivaw is not free of suspicion. In addition to the investigation, Baley must also deal with his fear of open spaces on Aurora, a result of having spent his entire life in enclosed spaces on the overcrowded Earth. Also, most Aurorans will not exactly be willing to help Baley due to anti-Earth sentiment. As typical with adventure games in the detective genre, puzzles are less based on item manipulation but more on gathering evidence and questioning suspects. In each game played, the murderer might be a different one - the location of items and people's reaction to questions differ accordingly. To convict the killer, Baley must determine motive, means and opportunity and present his evidence to the Chairman of Aurora.

Todd's Adventures in Slime World

Todd's Adventures in Slime World

Sega Genesis - Released - April 30, 1992

Todd and Rooney are mild-mannered go-getters who believe it is easier and more rewarding to drive a space cruiser than to navigate a desk in some window-less office. One dreary day, Todd gets stuck in his cubicle for several hours because the space exploration business has become a pastime for newly-weds. Not many assignments adorn the dashboard of Todd's wooden, four-legged carpet cruiser until Rooney comes bumbling toward Todd's cubicle. It seems a new planet has been discovered near Beta Delta and the administration feels it is a big project to explore. Todd and Rooney are perfect for the job! The mission briefing says the planet is a blue-green giant made of some unknown semi-liquid material, but the two gung-ho guinea pigs are out the door before they can read on: The blue-green-but-mostly-green Slime Planet's many winding tunnels and slime meanies await the next victims! - Keep Todd or Rooney slime-free in the tunnels, make the right decisions and find the way out before exposure to the green goop gives them a permanent home in Slime World! - Avoid an assortment of nasties that have evolved from the slime pools or shoot them apart with your pressurized water gun in six different challenging missions! - Go head to head or let Todd and Rooney work together to solve the mysteries of the Slime World in the two-player mode!

Upper Reaches of Apshai

Upper Reaches of Apshai

Commodore 64 - DLC - 1983

Upper Reaches of Apshai is an expansion module for Temple of Apshai, featuring a new dungeon (four levels with 150 rooms), and even something like a background story: You have to discover the secrets of Benedict's monastery and the cottage of Merlis the Mage. Otherwise, gameplay is pretty much the same and resembles other graphical Roguelikes / mainframe DND-Clones: You're in control of a solo character, running through a dungeon, killing monster, getting experience, evading traps and finding treasures.

World of Sports

World of Sports

Amstrad GX4000 - Released - 1990

World of Sports, is, as its name suggests, a sports game. These events were already present on computer versions of World Games, but if the game was renamed World of Sports on GX 4000 is simply that, we find here only 4 of the many events present on the original version. So let's go over the 4 parts of the game. First of all the bike cross event, entitled BMX. The cap well pressed on the skull, gloved hands gripping the handlebars, you're ready to go. You have a minute to complete the course of moguls, descents, haystacks. Points will be awarded if you browse all this in style (but if metal tubes and wheels that can have style). There is mess in the air. In the slalom race, we stay on a track, but it is white and cold because it is snow. Your skier goes with the joystick, skid, acceleration, all responding perfectly to the player's orders. You have 45 seconds to hit the track, and points will score two points per pass. Fun and difficult to make a faultless course in record time. The third test is surfing titled Surfing very cleverly. With tanned skin, blond hair in the wind, and the board underfoot, you will have to ride a huge wave and do tricks in the air to score a maximum of points. As in other events, everything happens in a limited time. The character is animated, and the wave is composed of a gradient of pretty blue. Accapulco its beaches, its sun, its rocks, and at the top of the rocks, its crackers who plunge dizzying heights shouting "Yaaaaawaaaayaaaaa" and crashing in a few meters of water that goes and comes. You may not know it, but you are part of this race of the unconscious. Admit to the best dive possible by avoiding to smash you on the rock face, or to smash your skull at the bottom of the water. After each jump, a bird passes by with a beak, a banner indicating the note that you obtained for your modest performance. If you blow your mouth, a pelican covers his eyes with his wings. Funny. The animation and the neat graphics, make this event too, a success.
