This game is a great mix between a classic thrilling point-and-click game and edu-game with music focus. Unique atmosphere, good puzzle and a great way to learn something about history of music.

This game is an extraordinary merge of education and game. Back in the days, I found my deep appreciation and love for sciences via the series of games by "HEUREKA-Klett-Softwareverlag GmbH". They also boosted my confidence of being able to learn these things. I still own the hard copies of these games since I was reluctant to ever throw them away. Games such as Chemicus 1 + 2, Biolabs, Physicus and Opera Fatal should re-apear in the landscape of gaming.

We used to play that in school. The one who beat it first got rewarded a perfect grade. If I remember correctly, the next two also got a good grade, but I don't remember the details. It's a very logical point and click game with a strong focus on music and music education. It's pretty fun though.

Prince of Persia 3D
Prince of Persia 3DPrince of Persia 3D is an Action Adventure game, developed and published by Red Orb Entertainment, which was released in 1999. It is the third installment in the Prince of Persia franchise, and technically the first of many reboots the franchise has got. Even though the game follows plenty of concepts from the original duology of games, it has a completely unconnected story from them. Despite that, since the release of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time marks the second reboot and the start of the "modern era" of the franchise, this game is often considered a part of "original trilogy/classic trilogy" including the original duology.

Opoona
OpoonaWhile on an interplanetary family vacation, the young boy Opoona crash lands on Planet Landroll after his spaceship is involved in a mysterious accident. Separated from his family, Opoona is forced to live alone. On the planet, Opoona must find a job, search for his siblings, and defend himself and the people of Landroll against creatures known as the Dark Rogues. Luckily for Opoona, he is the descendant of a long line of warriors known as the Cosmo Guards. Thus, Opoona’s adventure begins as he struggles to establish a new life and reunite his family. The game’s action-oriented battle system lets players use powerful “Energy Bonbons” against their enemies. Using just the Nunchuk, players can manipulate an Energy Bonbon’s trajectory in a number of different ways. All of Opoona’s commands are also controlled by the Nunchuk, to allow a complete “single-hand control” of the game. Opoona is not just about battling; it is a “Lifestyle RPG.” As Opoona, players must adapt to a new environment, meet new people, and contribute to society through work, all while becoming aware of the precious world and people around him. As the game progresses, Opoona will develop relationships and uncover a broader range of activities including new jobs and clues to new adventures.
