Wizardry V: The Heart of the Maelstrom
Star Trek: ConQuest Online
Reading Time: 18 minutesA decent online strategy game atop a wildly speculative digital card market. Not even Q could keep it from being snapped into the Continuum.
Law & Order: Dead on the Money
Reading Time: 13 minutesInvestigate a murder case with some polygons that sometimes look like Lenny Briscoe, then prosecute it in court. The case, not Lenny’s character model.
Deer Hunter
Reading Time: 13 minutesThe game that cracked the casual market. Hunt deer in three locations and try to bring home the big bucks.
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest
Reading Time: 18 minutesI try to play through the notorious sequel without help and – no surprise – it doesn’t go well.
The Matrix Online
Reading Time: 22 minutesWhat is the Matrix? In this case, a now-defunct MMO that was the most ambitious role-playing game ever released… for about three months.
