Java Jim in Square Shaped Trouble
Neo-Rio says: Java Jim looks like it was made by someone who did too much acid. That doesn't stop it being a weird, but fun game. You have to dig up artifcats (all of the same type) and sell them to buy ship pieces.

APB - All Points Bulletin
graveyardjohn says: Become Officer Bob for a shift on a US Police force in this vertically scrolling, "siren-em-up" , getting bonuses for picking up doughnuts, helping broken down motorists, and arresting your quota of law-breakers. Not a bad conversion!

Knight Games
Neo-Rio says: Not as good as IK, but still a really fun game when you're playing someone else. There are six fighting events, so there's variety - and two shooting galleries for good measure.

SEUCK - Shoot 'Em-Up Construction Kit
Neo-Rio says: Arrrgghhh! It's the construction kit responsible for a lot of crappy shooting games in Gamebase! Actually it's very rewarding to create your own game... just don't make one that "SEUCKs" ;)

Forbidden Forest
Steve says: Chilling and thrilling with a marvellous soundtrack by Paul Norman! Wander through a dark forest and battle with giant spiders, ghouls and other horrible creatures. Nice spatter FX :-)

Army Moves
Neo-Rio says: Once again you have to single handedly take on an entire army in vehicles and on foot. Played in two parts. The music can get irritating after a while though.

MULE
Neo-Rio says: When people talk about classic game design, this game often gets mentioned. It's a simple multiplayer economics simulation involving robot mules. It's always more fun to play with others than to play alone.

Zork I - The Great Underground Empire
Jimbo says: This game is still hailed as one of the best text adventures of all time. Infocom's masterpiece is gripping, absorbing, addictive, and it has a great language parser! Go hunt for that treasure!

Beach-Head II - The Dictator Strikes Back!
Neo-Rio says: Ah... the beach head. Four playable mini games with in game speech. Who can forget the pleading of your captured POW trying to escape? "Hey! Don't shoot me!" he would say, but we shot him anyway.
