I remember playing this game all night on my Epson PC, and call my boss in the morning to tell him I had the flue, so I could finish it. Amazing game, so different from anything else at the time...

I fell in love with this game at first sight, the unusual look of the characters, the crunching of gravel as you walk, the weird and wonderful creatures even that annoying werewolf added to the charm of this classic. Played this on an old Fujitsu PC that had a 3x speed CD-rom, Monitor that buzzed loudly and fights over who had the pc for the day.... ah the good old days of gaming.

This is one that I discovered years ago from a video by RagnarRox and I thought it looked like a neat little piece of PC gaming obscurity. Unfortunately there hasn't been a release on modern hardware in any official capacity, so I haven't been able to check it out myself. I certainly think it warrants a spot on the storefront.

This game is oppressive and eerie. Missing Link between Alone in The Dark and Resident Evil series. I remember it wasn't the greatest game to play with its wonky control scheme. But I 'd still love to go back and see weird world of Elliptica... Ecstatica it is.

I loved this game! The ellipsoid graphics crafted an unsettling, eerie atmosphere, further amplified by the fact that everyone—and everything—you encountered felt either strange or outright hostile. A fantastically atmospheric experience that I’d love to revisit along with its sequel which I never got around to playing!

First game I ever played, used to take turns playing it with my brother - heavy nostalgia - the camera angles added to keeping you on the edge of your seat. I've struggled to find a game like it.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica
Resident Evil Code: VeronicaResident Evil Code: Veronica is the fourth video game in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series. The game continues the survival horror gameplay of its predecessors: the protagonist explores the surroundings, fighting monsters and solving puzzles. However, it is the first game in the series to do away with pre-rendered backgrounds using a fully polygonal 3D engine instead, which allows for features such as real-time lighting and camera movement. Still, such movements are only used sparingly, and the use of perspective is mostly unchanged from earlier installments: the camera automatically switches to different static angles showing protagonists, monsters and rooms from different spooky viewpoints.

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence
Resident Evil: Deadly SilenceResident Evil: Deadly Silence is an enhanced version of the original Resident Evil for the Nintendo DS port. It was made to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the series. Toshiaki Mori provided promotional artwork during the release of the game, including cover art. Deadly Silence includes a "Classic Mode", the original game with minimal enhancements and touch-screen support, and a "Rebirth Mode", containing a greater number of enemies and a series of new puzzles that make use of the platform's specifications. The game makes use of the dual screen display with the top screen used to display the map, along with the player's remaining ammunition and health (determined by the color of the background); while the bottom screen displays the main action, and can be switched to show the player's inventory. The DS version also includes updated play mechanics: the 180-degree turn introduced in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, along with the knife button and tactical reload from Resident Evil 4. The updated controls are applicable to both Classic and Rebirth modes. Dialog and loading screens can now be skipped. The live-action footage was still censored, even in the game's Japanese release; however, the scene showing Kenneth's decapitated head was kept. In "Rebirth", new puzzles are added that use the system's touch-screen. "Knife Battle" sequences, viewed from a first-person perspective, are also added, in which the player must fend off incoming enemies by swinging the knife via the stylus. One particular puzzle requires the player to resuscitate an injured comrade by blowing into the built-in microphone. The player can also shake off enemies by using the touch screen, performing a melee attack. The game also includes wireless LAN support for up to four players with two different multiplayer game modes. The first is a cooperative mode in which each player must help each other solve puzzles and escape the mansion together. The other is a competitive mode in which the objective is to get the highest score out of all the players by destroying the most monsters, with the tougher monsters being worth more points. There are three playable multiplayer stages and nine playable characters.
