This game is jank. It has many speed-ups and slow-downs of animation and systems. Overhead map stages sometimes require accidental lodging Conan into places in order to trigger events. There's a side view that's used for indoor spaces and combat, with some interactivity. A lot of skimpy clothing on many of the characters and a somewhat amazing level of grime for 256 color MCGA graphics. I don't know how the other options sound, but the Adlib/OPL2 soundtrack is quite good.

You have no idea who you are or how you got here. The door to your cell is open. One choice. One chance. They took your life. Time to take it back.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.

Resident Evil Zero
Resident Evil ZeroResident Evil Zero is a third-person survival horror video game and a prequel to the first Resident Evil. The gameplay remains largely the same as previous entries in the series but also introduces what it calls a partner zapping system, which allows you to switch between the two characters Rebecca and Billy at any time. This feature must be used at times, as the game requires both characters to work together to solve some puzzles. New to the game are a bunch of terrifying enemies, like the mutant centipede, new areas to explore, and the ability to drop items on the ground instead of having to find an item box.
