Lemmings Paintball (1996)
Genres:Strategy, Sport, Shooter
Themes:Action

Story:Unlike most of the other Lemmings games, it does not use a side-scrolling perspective but instead an isometric view of the levels.

The levels contain various puzzles including moving platforms, lemming catapults, and trampolines.
Objects available in the game include:
Duplicator: Can be used to create additional lemmings up to the maximum amount of four. Can also replace lemmings killed in action.
Switch: Can be used to open and close gates, lower platforms and so on.
Gate: Gates block certain areas in a level. They can be opened using a switch or key. Keys can be found in exploding crates.
Exploding crate: Contain a key or a catapult.
Balloon: Can be used to transport a lemming through the air from one specific location to another.Show more

To this day, this is one of the quirkiest and most offbeat puzzle games I've ever played, if you can even call it that. Yes, this is the same Lemmings series, but instead of guiding dozens to a level's exit, you guide 4 lemmings through isometric levels, flipping switches and collecting flags. And yes, along the way, you shoot hostile lemmings with paintball guns. It's one of the games that's just too ridiculous to not work, and the later levels get pretty challenging. It's an odd one, but I credit the developers for trying something new and I'd love to see this game (and the other Lemmings games) appreciated once again.
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
