Jurassic War (1997)
Genres:Strategy, Real Time Strategy (RTS)
Story:Jurassic War is another real-time strategy of its age. There are many similar strategies which are mostly much better, however this one use some different approach, which makes the game worth trying. The game mechanic is pretty simple and even sometimes it is quite hard to make your units do whatever they should do. They mostly disobey especially in a crowded areas but it is quite normal for such games.
This game has a quite different approach compared to the classic strategy line. Your main resource is food, which is not harvested in some sort but your units must hunt the wild animals to collect it.
Collected food must be brought to the food storage. You can build a different buildings in this game, you train a builder for a food who can build the requested building or fight your foes in the meantime. There are plenty of factions, every one with some special ability. Your army consists basically of dinosaurs and humans and everyone gets improved over time so it is good to train some special soldiers in your army who will be better that 10 rookies. Dinosaurs are tougher, but humans can collect numerous objects and use them as a weapons. (such as shields, stones, spears, bows, magical talismans and much more.)Show more

A unique strategy game from my childhood. Food is the only resource, so hunting grounds need to be secured. I love the mix of magic, use of swords and having dinosaurs as controllable units.
Received this game as a gift in CD format, but cannot play it any more due to compatibility issues. Would love to see this game on here.
Absolutely adore this game. What it does different is that all your units are both your builders/army and your Heroes. This is done by allowing any unit to get Experience when they defeat enemies (who lands the killing blow) and gives you a choice - make a balanced army or funnel all the experience into one unit who will then be carrying the entire map for you (with the risk of losing it and basically having to start over). Works better for factions who have mage casters of course. Factions in the game are separated into tribes who have a special unit unique to them, however broadly speaking there are 3 main specializations - crafting tribes, who can make an armory and equip your humans with tools, dinosaur tribes, who can train dinosaurs specific to the faction, or finally the magical tribes, who can make units with corresponding spell casting abilities.
Have my copy but cannot make it work for the life of me. Would love to play it once again and for others to experience this peculiar game for themselves!
I still remember the day when my mom randomly buyed this game for me on a papers store. Loved it so much. Beatifull mix of RTS with RPG. It has nearly all: Dinos, Spells, Beasts, Items. Just missed one thing: a level editor. God bless her!

Ningyo no RakuinNingyo no Rakuin is a tactical horror RPG inspired by the works of Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Between the fanatical quasi-human tribesmen, the Deep Ones rising from beneath the waves, and the grad student from Miskatonic University, there are more references to the Mythos than you can shake a shoggoth at. The plot itself is fast-paced, centering first on surviving the dangers of the island and later on rescuing the main character's girlfriend from a particularly nasty fate involving an unnamed Elder God and a transformation into a fishy abomination. Elements of the storyline play out before and after (and sometimes during) each battle, and the interludes between battle chapters include a short summary of recent events leading up to the current plot point.Horror
RollerCoaster TycoonThe premise of the game is to complete a series of preset scenarios by successfully building and maintaining amusement parks through business ownership as a theme park entrepreneur. The key to any park is building a large amount and diverse range of rides for the visitors. Players can choose from dozens of roller coaster types and can also build log flumes, carousels, bumper cars, haunted houses, go karts, ferris wheels, and swinging ships, among other rides. The intensity and type of rides must be balanced, as visitors' preferences vary significantly from person to person. For example, some guests prefer exciting rides and have high nausea tolerance levels, while other guests are just the opposite.Sandbox Business
