Pyrosaurus
Pyrosaurus is an asynchronous strategy and creature-management game centered around customizing fire-breathing dinosaurs for automated battle. The game allows players to construct custom dinosaurs by spending points on physical attributes—such as body mass, limb setups, and coloration—as well as combat capabilities and basic behavioral logic. Rather than managing battles in real time, combat is entirely asynchronous: players configure their creatures' AI scripts and submit their setups to a central server. The server resolves the match outcomes in the background and returns a graphical playback displaying the calculated battle results.Vertigo

Insanity

Insanity (1990) is an ASCII PC game from 1990, released by New Era Software. Playing as a small face darting around a vast maze of hyphens, stars, and punctuations, evading enemies and answering riddles from such odd interlocutors as "The Chocolate Fiend," Insanity is an off-kilter low-budget maze escape title, riddled with a dry British humor synonymous with its era.Lemris

1483 Anno Domini
1993
Richard, Duke of Gloucester, has imprisoned Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York, in the Tower of London and plans to have himself be crowned King. In the alternate history game 1483 Anno Domini, players control Sir Arcyus, who is asked by people loyal to Edward V to free the two young royals from their prison cell and prevent Richard III's coronation. Almost 20 buildings of the Tower of London can be chosen from an authentic map, and explored in grid-based 3D first-person view. Gameplay revolves mostly around exploration, conversation, and inventory-based puzzles. However, certain problems can only be solved in combat. When insulting or directly attacking an opponent, the game switches to a real-time swordfighting minigame.Player of the Year

Waterputer

Water streams down from the top into a grid of empty boxes, connected by rotatable pieces of plumbing. The player's task is to rotate and rearrange the pieces so that all the boxes are filled up with water. This must be done quickly - the water will inevitably leak and pool at the bottom of the screen, then start rising upwards, drowning row after row of boxes as it does. The level must be finished before the water reaches the top. Pipe sections can have from one to four openings, and may be rotated individually or in groups of four (which is the only way to rearrange their position on the grid). Any additional leakage will make the water level rise faster, so open-ended pipes at the bottom or sides of the grid will have to be sealed off. A box full of water will turn a solid white; as soon as all remaining boxes are filled up, the game progresses to the next level, with a larger number of boxes to deal with.Solitaire Royale

The Chambers Beneath

You are an adventurer who has recently arrived in a once-bustling medieval city whose streets are strangely deserted. The people are here, but they no longer gather in the cobbled streets and the public squares. Instead, they cower in the safety of their houses. Few shops are open, and it is difficult to find out the cause of this eerie quiet. All that you can find out from the few frightened, gabbling citizens you come across is that a great and significant treasure has gone missing from the city. It seems that this is no ordinary treasure, but one that guarantees the safety of the city and its inhabitants. With it missing, everyone is expecting a great calamity to fall upon them. You will have to consult the city’s ruler to find out exactly what has gone missing, and what reward there is to the hero who retrieves it. All you can gather from those you have spoken to so far is that there exists a network of underground passages and chambers with unsavoury inhabitants, and everyone believes the treasure has beenStíny noci

Bubu Chuǎng Tōngguān is a Bomberman variant. Players control an octopus character that deploys black octopi functioning as bombs. These are used to destroy breakable blocks and eliminate enemies. The primary objective in each level is to locate a hidden key beneath destructible terrain. Once obtained, a skull icon appears on the field; detonating it reveals the exit door. In addition to enemy threats, the game introduces environmental challenges such as conveyor belts and switches. Each level contains upgrades hidden under rocks that enhance the octopus's abilities, including bomb capacity, blast radius, and movement speed. These upgrades persist across levels. The game is structured into themed worlds - such as forests or bathrooms - each comprising multiple levels and culminating in a boss battle.Panda: Go Home!
Similar in style to the popular game Bomberman, players can choose from 6 different characters to battle it out single or multi-player. Special items, power ups, and other bonuses litter the screen as you attempt to eliminate all other players or animals standing in your way!
