I used to play the demo of this game over and over again during my childhood back at 2000. Only a few puzzles were included, of which I remember Eiffel tower, Manhattan, and a few other memorable places. I would love to play the full version
I had this game back when it came out and would go back and play it several times over the years. Sadly, since PCs don't have CD drives anymore, it's not really possible.
The puzzles in this game are sometimes unique variants I've never seen anyway else. A puzzle where you have a bunch of outlines overlapping and have to fill in spots with a color to find the shape? A puzzle where every piece has an overlap with other pieces? A puzzle where you have to find a part of s picture based on its outline, but you can only see the parts of the image the outline is moving over?
This is a diamond in the rough and deserves to live again, forever, and be playable on modern computers.
Please help this happen. :)
I played this game when I was a kid on my family's Pentium II PC. Back in the good old days when dial-up internet was still a thing and Windows 95 was a cutting edge operating system. It's practically abandon ware at this point and you can technically download it for free. But the resolution is kind weird and I can't seem to fix it. I'd pay for a version that functions properly on modern PCs with high resolution support. I absolutely loved this game and would like to replay it.
I used to play this game with my dad when I was a kid.
There are quite a few different puzzle types, and although you get to try them all early on if I remember correctly, they become progressively more difficult by having more pieces to them.
A nice feature in the game is that you have a couple of free passes if you get stuck and you can kid of pick in what order you do things, though that doesn't really matter in the end.
I remember the pictures you worked towards recreating being quite nice, there were definitely paintings, I don't recall if there were also photographs.
What I do remember is that the music really set the atmosphere! If you check it out now on youtube, it's not necessarily outstanding, but with the pictures combined and the idea that you were at a specific location in the world, they were really nice!
A game that brings memories from the days the family computer still had Windows XP. I remember me and my dad solving solving puzzles like the ones you had to match the Silhouette of objects in a painting, the other puzzles where you reassembled a statue where each part is rotated sideways/upside down ect. I never got to finish it though. I still have the installation CD but it doesn't work and no patch I've found online can fix it. I would gladly pay money to revisit this all time classic :)
Exodus: Journey to the Promised LandExodus: Journey to the Promised Land is an unlicensed NES game made by Wisdom Tree in 1991.
According to the game's instruction manual, the player controls the biblical figure Moses as he leads the Israelites to the promised land. Moses has the ability to shoot glowing "W's", which signify the word of God, to defeat enemies and remove obstacles. To finish each level, Moses must acquire five question marks as well as a certain amount of manna while avoiding enemies such as magicians and soldiers. After a level is completed, the player must answer five bible-related questions before advancing to the next level. Exodus, like many Wisdom Tree games, is a rehashed version of a Color Dreams game, in this case Crystal Mines.New Action Educational

Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the FutureAt the dawn of the 30th Century, dolphins and humans had been together in a cross-species society for 500 years. Together, they had set out to explore space, offering peace and friendship to all who would welcome it. But space had its dangers; a violent species known as the Foe decided to conquer Earth. However, the dolphins and humans drove them to the brink of defeat, and so the Foe sought vengeance on Earth. The few caretaker dolphins who had been left behind on Earth were not entirely defenseless; they were protected by their creation called the Guardian—a gigantic, sentient being made of a crystalline substance which projected a forcefield over the entire planet. Undeterred, the Foe made suicide attacks on the field, searching for a weak point.Action Science fiction

Ecco 2: Sentinels of the UniverseEcco 2: Sentinels of the Universe was a planned sequel to Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future for Dreamcast that got canceled around the time SEGA announced that they would be stopping production on the console and focus on being a third-party developer. Given the fact that the first game was later ported to the Sony Playstation 2 later the same year, it’s not clear why Appaloosa Interactive decided to stop development on the sequel, rather than port it to PlayStation 2 as they did with the first game.
The game was uncovered to the public in 2016 by Hidden Palace, a wiki community dedicated to video game development preservation.
This build comes from a Katana Dreamcast development kit. The discs were included along with the kit. The game features "a few playable level via level select with a complete working debug mode," but there is no music or sound in them.Action
