<span class="bold">The Moment of Silence</span>   ( © 2004-2005 House of Tales  ―  Currently 131 votes )


The year is 2044, and the world has become a globalized, industrialized place where online communication often replaces other forms of socializing and where each citizen can be easily found with tracking devices. Peter Wright is an employee in a New York advertising agency whose family was killed in a terrorist attack. One night he witnesses his neighbor being taken away by a SWAT team. The neighbor's wife asks Peter to find out what happened to her husband, and Peter begins to realize that the authorities are following an unknown agenda he must reveal at all costs.

The Moment of Silence is a traditional puzzle-solving adventure game. The player navigates the protagonist through pre-rendered locations with frequently changing, fixed camera angles. Most of the puzzles either involve gathering information by talking to characters and exploring dialogue trees, or manipulating inventory items and using them on objects in the scenery.

<span class="bold">Chip's Challenge</span>

(current votes: 86)

It's a top down view puzzle game. The object is to collect a given number of chips and reach the exit while avoiding hazards, dodging monsters, flipping switches, pushing blocks... Most levels are of the type where you have to take your time and think, though some are more action based with a time limit which forces you to move fast. If you "die" or get stuck, you can simply restart the level an unlimited number of times.

Armed & Delirious is a wacky point-and-click adventure game with cartoony graphics.

Granny noticed that things were getting, well, a little strange. Even her loyal sausage could tell that something was wrong. When she found out her family had been swallowed into space by the Mad Rabbit, she decided that enough was enough: it was time to kick some lupine butt. And so this delirious but determined lady set out on the adventure of a lifetime...

Join Granny on an inner-space voyage to 14 highly unusual worlds. Visit an alien shopping mall, climb inside a microwave, outsmart the fiendish Mad Rabbit, help Napoleon write a symphony with cannons, and be back in time for dinner. But don’t blame us if you burst out laughing so hard you squirt soda out your nose. You have been warned.

Far Gate (20 votes)

3D Space RTS that had the misfortune of being release in the same period as Homeworld and therefore hardly anyone has even heard of it.
All things considered it still is a good game with a desent story, gameplay and a very slick interface.
I have the game although I still must finish it someday, sadly RTS is a genre that I never could get into.

Players take the role of Englishman Oliver Lavisheart who is portrayed as a sort of Indiana Jones fellow in the year 1899.

Oliver's billionaire uncle boasts to his scientific colleagues that he has created 4 major inventions and placed them in 4 different countries around the globe. The uncle then makes a hefty wager that his inventions (or proof of them) can be found in 80 days or less. Oliver decides to help his uncle, and he is off in search of them. Can he do it in time? The clock is ticking!

Players will use a combination of keyboard keys and mouse for navigation and various actions (including jumping and running). Many different modes of transportation are at Oliver's disposal to help him travel to and throughout the large locales including camels, elephants, or flying carpets, and several unusual cars, trains, steamboats and flying ships. There are adventure type puzzles to be solved and over 100 non-player characters. In addition there are several difficulty levels, side quests and time bonuses.
