Gorky 17 - Hyperion Software

Gorky 17 is a horror conspiracy game mixing elements of strategy and RPG
gameplay. You the player command a small group of NATO soldiers who must
reveal the mystery behind the sudden appearance of hybrid creatures in a
small Polish city named Lubin. The city is being terrorized, the area is
surrounded by NATO troops and media from all over the world, and the first
group sent into the city disappears without a trace. The main hero of the
story is the 40-year old soldier Cole Sullivan, a commando team member
with extensive scientific knowledge. His team`s task: to explain the
hybrids` presence and to find the missing members of Group One. But that,
of course, is just the beginning...

Software Tycoon  - Epic Interactive

In the early eighties, software developers shot up all over the world like
toadstools. It was the birth of a new industry. Computers and consoles
began a triumphant advance into people`s homes and spread like wildfire.

Software, and particularly computer games, sold like hot cakes. This
development began with simple games such as `Pong`, but soon progressed to
much more complex programs which created their own market, a battlefield
from the very beginning.

These early days of the industry are the background for the company you
yourself are about to found. Armed with a small start capital, you set out
in 1982 to conquer the games market. Develop your own game concepts,
create a team and conquer the world. But never forget that you have rivals
for the dominance you are seeking - though they do say competition is good
for business ...

Knights and Merchants - Epic Interactive

After many battles, the kingdom has been divided into many small feuding
principalities and earldoms. The king`s troops have been pushed back into
one last royal province, and the rulers of the other provinces wage
terrible, destructive wars against one another.

The whole land has fallen into a state of chaos and now the former royal
capital itself is under siege by the armies of the rebel lords.

Knights and Merchants recreates a fictitious kingdom in the era of the
Middle Ages. All game elements and scenes are based on the Anglo-Saxon
period, of around 1200 A.D. You the player takes on the role of an
ordinary captain in the kings army. A conspiracy against the king
catapults you into a situation where you find yourself responsible for the
defense of the last royal province. Earn Royal favour by taking back the
renegade provinces and crushing the rebellious lords!
