Drakan: Order of the Flame is an action-adventure computer game
developed by Surreal Software and published by Psygnosis in 1999. The
game follows Rynn, a young woman with extraordinary martial skills, and
an ancient dragon Arokh on their quest to free Rynn's younger brother
from the evil sorcerer Navaros. The gameplay alternates between dungeon
exploration and monster fighting when Rynn is alone and aerial dogfights
when she mounts Arokh. A sequel, Drakan: The Ancients' Gates, was
released in 2002.
Before the popular doujin circle French Bread was known by this name,
they called themselves Watanabe Seisakujo. Even back then, it looks like
the group had a love for 2D gaming, as this fun little side-scrolling
action game suggests. Players here are trying to save their friend who
has been kidnapped by a little angel-like being. It's a cute,
lighthearted romp with very good, fluid controls, all with an old school
flair.
Seeing as the game was made almost a decade ago, it has a much more
retro look to its sprite-based graphics more reminiscent to what one
might find back in the 16-bit era. Nonetheless, it still looks very
good, with nice use of bright colors, and some very cute character
designs. The enemies that players face off againsts are all rather cute,
with little angels, gun-toting frogs, and chubby, balloon-like cats
being among them.
Controls are very simple, with the arrows providing movement, and
the z and x providing attack and jump. Players also have special weapons
that they can use on a limited bases by pressing up and attack at the
same time. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be and gamepad support
for Demon Hunter Mai, and be careful about hitting escape, as that quits
the game instantly. Nonetheless, controls are very responsive, which is
certainly more than I can say about a lot of the professionally made 2D
games coming out during this time.
From a historical perspective, it's interesting to take a look at a
game like Demon Hunter Mai, as it shows some of the early work of French
Bread. Keeping the good fight going for a decade for 2D gaming is
certainly commendable.

Dark Earth is an action-adventure third person game. It was developed by
Kalisto Entertainment and published by MicroProse. It is set in an
unique post apocalyptic world. Just like in any other adventure games
you collect and manipulate items, and talk with many interesting persons
you encounter on you journey. There is also a weapon base combat.
The game has recorded audio dialogs. You may also use subtitles.
Even though the game does not use graphic acceleration it looks like
it does. It uses pre-rendered graphics with 3D models for the
characters. The story is really good. The game is not so known, but it
was praised as one of the best games of 1997. It certainly deserves the
title.
This is a full English language version of the game.

"Privateer's Bounty: Age of Sail II" immerses players into the era
of sailing, a time when shipbuilding hadn't quite reached it's pinnacle
but the spirit of the age and the wonder of recent innovations in
sailing technology inspired nautical heroes. The romantic world of sea
adventures, political intrigue, piracy and massive ocean battles,
ancient sea customs and a first glimpse into a future epoch - these are
only fragments of the multi-faceted universe of "Privateer's Bounty".
The game expands upon the sailing tactical simulation concept, using
Age of Sail II as its launching point for innovation. This solid
foundation makes "Privateer's Bounty" the ideological successor of this
remarkable game.
Player mission objectives vary from the total annihilation of the
enemy to brutal fort assaults, from "capture the flagship" to fleeing
from an enemy-seized bay. Experienced players will note changes to the
fleet control system, battle conducting principles, networking and
several other aspects of the game. These changes result in a deeper
emergence into the game and, as a consequence, a popular alignment
towards the sphere of tactical real-time games.
A dynamic, intuitive unit interface simplifies the control of large
squadrons. New damage calculation algorithms have been specially
optimized for the needs of a dynamic tactical game. This enables a
realistic battle situation to be simulated with precision.
We've analyzed the suggestions of our sea-strategy game fans when
designing the game interface. As a result, the new interface allows for
individual adjustment of windows arrangements and numerous hot key
customizations. Additional game adjustment options allow the player to
tune the game for computers of any configuration.
The single-player game includes three large campaigns based on some
of the historical events of the 19th century. While the campaigns are
grounded in a historical context, the design emphasis is placed upon the
unique spirit of each epoch. In one campaign, the player may set off in
search of an expedition that has mysteriously disappeared in the
northern sea. In another campaign, they may be seeking out the gold of
the notorious pirate F. Dreik.
"Privateer's Bounty" features:
Over 2000 ships and 11 nations
20+ battle unit types, including steamships, submarines, and an air balloon
3 military campaigns
Over 20 single-scenario battles
Advanced multiplayer mode, with up to 16 players via LAN or Internet with Game Spy Arcade service support
