Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:SegaSonic the Hedgehog is an isometric platforming game with three characters who shares identical controls and abilities. The characters are controlled with one action button which lets the player perform a spin jump, and a trackball which is used to move the characters around. Each trackball and corresponding action button are color-coded, meaning the blue ones are for Sonic, red ones are for Mighty and yellow ones are for Ray.
The premise of the game is to reach the end of an isometric course without dying. This objective is similar to other video games in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Yet, it is also different in the sense that instead of a typical platforming game, the game is centered entirely around running as fast as possible on a linear course from a never-ending barrage of threats, including giant boulders, lava flows, rogue gears, falling stalactites, and other traps. When the player is hit by a dangerous obstacle or hazard, they lose health from the Health Gauge, which can be refilled by collecting Rings that found around the arena. Upon completing each level, the game tallies up how many Rings were grabbed. Extra points are also received if over half of the level's Rings were found.
The game only has a few enemies and one boss that appears midway through the game. At the end of the final level, the player is given twenty seconds to escape from the self-destructing tower. Failure results in an instant Game Over.Show more

Time CrisisTime Crisis is a light gun shooter arcade game released by Namco in December 1995. It was later ported for the PlayStation in 1997, bundled with the Guncon light gun controller.
Time Crisis is a three-dimensional first person rail shooter similar to Virtua Cop and The House of the Dead installments, in which the player holds a light gun and goes through the motions of firing at on-screen enemies. Time Crisis is best known for its cover system, in which players can duck behind cover to avoid enemy fire and reload his weapon. There are three stages, each consisting of three areas and a boss battle. Unique features are described here in:
A foot pedal which performs multiple functions: when the pedal is released, the player takes cover to conserve hit points while reloading the gun. While the pedal is released, the player cannot attack. In console conversions, a button command replicates the foot pedal's functions. The player loses a life if he/she is hit by a direct bullet or obstacle whilst not taking cover, with the game ending if he/she loses all lives.
A light gun (introduced in Point Blank) which utilized a special memory chip to synchronize areas of the screen's image as the player rotates the gun around. The light gun also features a blowback function which simulates real-life gun recoil.
A countdown timer, recharged by clearing an area of enemies. As running down the clock causes an instant game over, the player must take risks, shooting enemies rapidly and hiding only when necessary. A time extension is rewarded when an area is passed and there are also time bonuses awarded for shooting certain enemies quickly.
The PlayStation port features an exclusive side-story mode, in which the player's performance, such as how quickly he can clear an area, affects the path he takes through the game, resulting in multiple possibilities.Action

Brave DwarvesBrave Dwarves is a fantasy platform game where you control one of two Dwarves fighting against 'The Great Evil' that has taken over their underground kingdom.
The player has a warrior and a mage character to choose from; there are ordinary weapons for the warrior, and magic weapons (incantations) for the mage.
Both the magical and ordinary weapon types and strength depends on the power stored in four orbs for controlling the four elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth.
The orbs are found laying around on the map, and at the beginning, you only have a single weapon & attack type - for the Warrior its a plain melee attack with his axe - but the orbs & diamonds you find lets you use other attack types: the axe can also throw flaming fire, or homing missiles for example. The mage starts out with a wand that can do a water attack. No damage shows any blood, only smokepuffs.
The orbs power source is taken from colored diamonds found in the caves: Green for Earth, Red for Fire, Blue for Water and White for Air.
There are also some diamonds with combined orb energy effects: Light Blue for Air & Water and Purple for Fire & Earth.
The underground Kingdom is divided into 50 platform levels, to finish a level three larger Key-diamonds must be found; one each of Green, Red and White color - these will open the door to the next level. In the unregistered version, only five levels are available, and there are some other limitations - the demo has no bosses for instance.
In the caves are monsters (of course) but also treasure laying around, which is gathered by walking over them, and added to the player score. Touching a monster loses health. Beakers with blue liquid and large red hearts restore health
A highscore list is available in the registered version, as are passwords & savegames letting a player continue from the last saved location.Fantasy

The game's plot depends on which mission is completed as well as subsequent playable levels.
