(In)famous for jokes about it, the Polish city of Wąchock is the place where the story of the Polish adventure game Sołtys takes place.
You play the head of the village of Wąchock and your aim is to find the missing husband of your daughter (who apparently isn't very attractive if you know what I mean). Scared of his future, Leon decides to run away from the wedding and you are responsible for bringing this poor guy back.
The game is a classic point and click adventure in which you collect objects and find places to use them. You move from one location to another using special "location icons". Number of available locations to visit represents the game's progress. At first there are only eight of them and later on they increase to total number of 24. The game is full of Polish jokes and "play on words" technique to give player hints how riddles should be solved.
The user controls a trampoline. This trampoline can be moved across the bottom of the screen, horizontally. "Bob" jumps on this trampoline, and each time Bob hits the trampoline, he jumps higher than the previous time. On the top of the screen, there are some items that can be collected. When Bob hits the edge of the trampoline, he jumps to the side: you will have to move the trampoline to catch him the next time, because he will fall off and die otherwise. The objective is to collect a number of items at the top of the screen. When you have done so, the level is finished, and you proceed to the next level. If Bob falls on the ground (besides the trampoline), he dies. Bob has a number of lives; each time a level is finished, one extra life is added. If Bob has no lives left, the game is over.
In this turn-based game you play a role of Carthagean warlord Hannibal in his struggle with Roman Empire. Managing resources derived from mines and rised by economy, you recruit armies (people, horses, elephants), siege cities, win the battles, and expand your influence from Africa to Europe.
The game featured standard VGA 16-colored 640x480 screen, complete with party-members, round-based combat, full-screen sprite animation, various monsters, Chinese-styled AdLb music, sound effects, animated spell effects, as well as full Chinese interface, which was a great hit in Taiwan's computer game market at that period.
SimHealth has a rather serious subject matter: the debate in the summer of 1994 over what kind of health care system the United States should have.
The player gets the usual godlike power, being able to choose what proposals to adopt and even what assumptions should be in the underlying mathematical models (an especially good thing, since many of the models turned out to be so very wrong).
Race in the little leagues, except these Karts are anything but slow! With the fastest going up to 130 MPH, these karts are what professional race drivers drive to keep their edge in the off-season!
Choose from three classes of engines, 4 types of chasis, and 4 types of tires. Customize your kart and your alter ego to specific colors, stripes, and logos, even racing numbers. Adjust your gear ratio for optimum acceleration vs. top speed.
Join single-race at any of the dozen different tracks, each with their own challenges, or play a full season's championship against ruthless AI who will shove you out of the way if they can.
When you're finished having fun, invite your friends to compete on the network!
