Story:Formula One racing is recreated in detail in this simulation. You have the choice to drive a Ferrari 187/88C, a McLaren MP4/4 or a Williams FW12, each with different qualities. Rival drivers also have their own styles and strengths, and to win the World Championship you will have to master these. Pitstop timing and planning is crucial as well, although only tires are changed in late-1980s F1. You can choose whether to drive a single race at Brazil, Britain, Monaco, (Western) Germany [Hockenheim], Canada, Italy, Detroit and Japan [Suzuka] or to drive a full championship on every track. Every Race includes a qualifying round. The graphics in the game are sprite-based.Show more

This was literally the very first digital game I have ever played, in a long-forgotten PC-XT at my dad's workplace, while he was learning to program on an adjacent machine. I had a not-so-legit copy in a glorious 5 1/4 floppy disk. It took me a long time to actually play the game in color, since at the time most monitors were just green phosporus CRTs. The game itself is quite simple, but enjoyable. All I remember is that playing on manual (gear shift) was my biggest challenge, as a child. It would be great to pay homage to the game that started it all for me, and finally pay for it!

SimuSexSimuSex 1.0 is a simplistic sex simulator for DOS made by Erosoft. The few novelties of SimuSex are fluid animation, the fact that it was one of the first virtual girl-programs with more than still graphics and text descriptions, and that it was extremely widespread in many BBSs in the 90s. A copy of SimuSex 2.0 is promised when registering the game. The developers promise MPEG1 SVGA quality digitized video on software, interactive 3D models with toys, digitized sound effects, sort of a mood AI for the girls and a range of other ahead of their time features. The 2.0 version never realized into a real product.

Crimson SkiesThe series is set within an alternate history of the 1930s invented by Weisman and McCoy. Within this divergent timeline, the United States has collapsed, and air travel has become the most popular mode of transportation in North America; as a result, air pirates thrive in the world of Crimson Skies. In describing the concept of Crimson Skies, Jordan Weisman stated he wanted to "take the idea of 16th century Caribbean piracy and translate into a 1930s American setting."
