A.G.E.
1991
A.G.E. is a follow-up to Galactic Empire. Like its predecessor, it is a first-person space exploration game rendered in 3D. As you pilot your spacecraft around the planets and stars, engaging in space combat and conversation with other characters, you unravel the Conquer the Universe plot. The game is similar to Elite in that you are relatively free to travel to wherever you please. The MS-DOS version has a bit of a different intro due to graphical differences, different sounds, and some parts of the main HUD for your spacecraft have different colors. You can also select what mode the game will run in at the beginning at start-up.Bones: The Game of the Haunted Mansion
1991
Bones: The Game of the Haunted Mansion is a member of the pseudo-roguelike Wizard's Castle family. It is one of the oldest games of this family, originating in 1981 on DEC mainframes. The story is quite conservative: As in the other Wizard's Castle games, your task is to descend into a dungeon to find the all-powerful Globe of some mighty Warlock on the deepest level. The gameplay is a hybrid of boardgame-like exploration and roguelike dungeon crawl, the whole presented as in "windowed" interactive fiction game, while the setting is a mix of fantasy, horror and sci-fi elements, playing in a haunted mansion filled with dust, bones, undead skeletons, RAM chips needed for auto-mapping, Uzis and Laser guns, etc. The only graphics is the BGI title screen; the rest of the game plays in text mode and reminds late DOS applications with windows.Pryhody pionerky Kseni

The Castle
1991
This game can be called an ancestor of the Worms game series. The goal is very simple: you need to destroy the enemy's fortress with the help of cannonballs. However, behind the simplicity, a far more intricate process is hidden. The Castle allows the player to customize the game settings to diversify each duel: you can change the curvature of the landscape and the height at which the fortresses are relative to each other; you can change the degree of influence of the wind on the shots; you can even choose the magnitude of the gravitational force and the number of hits after which the fortress is considered defeated.Angra-I

Angra-I
1991
Angra-I is a text-based adventure developed by Renato Degiovani, about a crazy programmer who has put the nuclear reactor at the Angra dos Reis power plant in the process of self-destruction, and now you, the player, need to enter the power plant, find the reactor control terminals, and deactivate the program that is controlling everything. Time is short, and the player cannot waste it by trial and error. You have to think and act in the right direction, or else... Booooom!Getaway Entertainment 6 Pack

Kommersant
1991
Kommersant is a Soviet computer game developed and released by the Kiev company Rada Ltd in 1991. The author of the game is Vladimir Kharchenko, better known as a poet and artist. The game was distributed free of charge through the FidoNet network and was released on bootleg game discs. Kommersant is an economic strategy in which events take place in real time, but are paused to await the user's reaction. The player takes on the role of a merchant, whose goal is to increase wealth through commercial transactions: buying and selling, depositing and loaning funds in a bank, buying from dubious persons at a low price, concluding various transactions, and the like.Quick Majik Adventure
1991
Ostensibly the shareware version of a more robust, non-quick Majik Adventure, as with their later Dragon Hunt this is a bit of a graphical roguelike, placing a fantasy adventurer smack in the middle of level 75 of a series of random and devious dungeons, filled to the gills with treasures and hostile creatures. As an earlier effort Neurosport hadn't yet extruded the perspective into three bewildering dimensions here, and so we still retain the traditional top-down view, prettied up (and range-of-view constrained) with a graphical tile set.Daloman Depths

ANIMAC
1991
23rd-century Earth is a good place to be: after an atypically friendly first contact with an alien species, the planet's ills have been cured and peace reigns supreme. But some will always resist change, let alone utopian ideas. One such organization was the innocently-named American Neutral Investigators, and its leader Mapier was exiled off-planet for disturbing the peace. This decision did not prove far-sighted however; Mapier worked diligently, pirating and destroying, harvesting debris, alien technology and raw materials, and gradually built up a huge armed space fortress from which the ANI continue to terrorize known space. This is where the player comes in, piloting an infiltrator ship into the bowels of the ANI's Mapierian Anti-Complex (ANIMAC) to find and destroy the central command. The meandering tunnels burrowing through the planet-sized base consist of hundreds of different rooms, littered with automated defenses, mines and hostile drones, while the Infiltrator only packs a single forward-firing photoBig Blue Disk #54

Big Blue Disk was a monthly DOS disk magazine. It carried various games and applications for DOS as well as reviews and various extras. Some of them were freeware or shareware, or demo versions of commercial programs, but other material was original to the disk magazine. This issue contains: - Dark Designs II: Closing The Gate - Word Ladders - Handy Caps. The remainder of the space is taken up by clip art, articles and a file-searching DOS utility.Dropper

Koolah
1991
Koolah is an English spelling of the Finnish word 'kuula' meaning the 'metal ball', that can't be squeezed and is used in the game as main protagonist. The game's idea was taken from a children's board game, where one tries to guide a metal ball through a wooden maze without touching the ball. The ball is controlled with two knobs on the side of the maze. One of the knobs leans the maze horizontally and the other vertically. The route through the maze is drawn on it, but there are holes along the route that easily swallow the ball.Hextris

Neverwinter Nights
1991
Neverwinter Nights is a computer game released in 1991. It was developed by Stormfront Studios and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. and ran on MS-DOS. It was the first multiplayer online role-playing game to display graphics, and was hosted on AOL. Neverwinter Nights was developed with gameplay similar to other games in the Gold Box series. Players begin by creating a character. After creating the character, gameplay takes place on a screen that displays text interactions, the names and current status of one's party of characters, and a window which displays images of geography marked with various pictures of characters or events. When combat occurs, gameplay switches to full-screen combat mode, in which a player's characters and enemies are represented by icons which move around in the course of battle. Situated in the city of Neverwinter and more than twenty surrounding regions/areas, the game itself was similar to other official AD&D Forgotten Realms games of its time. As it was an online game, it had
