Tales of Zuidat 1.0
Old tales speak of an evil summoner called Zuidat, who can mold and create anything with a swing of its arm. Nobody has ever provedly seen this being, though tales about it are told often. In the normally peaceful town of Teldun, some strange things have started happening recently. Random noises can be heard from the surrounding forests, someone even claimed he saw an imp-like creature running in the forest. As if that wasn`t enough, some of the townspeople now appear missing. The inhabitants of Teldun believe that Zuidat is behind this terror. The townspeople are starting to realize their desperate situation, and are preparing to send in two of their best warriors to explore the cause of these strange events, with an ultimate goal of defeating zuidat himself. Tales of Zuidat is a traditional fantasy action RPG with a humorous tone. You create two heroes and venture into the wilderness with a mission to find and destroy an evil summoner called Zuidat, while fighting his summoned minions and gaining better and better items. The main ingame screen is controlled from a top-down view. You move your party in a tile-based movement, searching for a way to the next screen or a treasure chest. Combat plays out in its own screen. It is turn based and viewed from first person. You choose from a variety of actions, such as attack or defend and the character executes it. The game includes 15 screens to explore, 16 types of monsters, 3 character classes, over 50 different items (including weapons, shields, armor, helms, amulets and bottles) and 15 different magical spells. Everything has its own unique, hand-drawn graphics.
Outpost 41 1.0
Outpost 41 is an outpost colony located on a distant planet. A Few days ago, an escape shuttle originating from outpost 41 landed on earth. Its crew had an urgent message: their outpost had been overrun by some kind of unknown, hostile life forms. Just before the alien infestation, the colonists had found some ancient, invaluable paintings from below the surface of the planet. We are now sending in a four-member crew to recover those paintings. You will be in control of these men, watching over them from a control room. Your crew has cameras attached to their helmets so you will have a visual on what`s going on. Make sure those paintings are brought back to earth! Outpost 41 is kind of a mix of horror, action and adventure. It is technically 2-D, but is viewed from first person. For the best experience it should be played at night with lights turned off. Be warned that this game is not for the faint-hearted, since it can be very spooky and scary. The game supports a split screen mode, allowing 2 players to explore the outpost together.
