Shanghai: Triple-Threat

Shanghai: Triple-Threat (1994)

by Kuusou Kagaku, Activision, Nintendo, St. GIGA, SUNSOFT

Genres:Puzzle, Card & Board Game

Themes:Action

Game modes:Single player

Story:Another version of the ancient game of Mah-Jong. The player is presented with an arrangement of tiles, lined up together and stacked, with either 2 or 4 of each of an array of patterns. These must be removed by matching pairs, but only tiles which are visible and have a space to the left or right can be removed. This release in the Activision's Shanghai series includes three games along with the Classic Shanghai. In The Great Wall, the tiles are stacked vertically, and fall when lower tiles are removed, a lá Tetris. In Beijing, gaps are created to slide groups of tiles along. The Golden Tile sees two players attempt to clear a set layout at once. The Triple-theme continues with three game modes: Solitaire, 2-player "Pandamonium", and Arcade. Three themed tile sets complete the "Triple Threat".Show more

I have been playing Mahjong games like this for over three decades and this is still my absolute favorite. I own it for the Saturn, was amazed how well it played with a controller, and have many many hours of joy from it. It also had some of the funnest 'alternate' game modes that I've yet to see anywhere else. The music was good and had enough tracks you didn't get bored and it ran great. I would LOVE to see this brought to PC and preserved because it really is one of the best.

This package is more important than you could have thought.

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.

Silent Hill 2 (Classic)

Silent Hill 2 (Classic)The second entry in the Silent Hill franchise, Silent Hill 2 is a narrative-focused third-person psychological survival horror game with emphasis on combat, exploration and puzzle-solving elements which follows James Sunderland, a man who receives a letter, seemingly sent by his three-years-deceased wife Mary, in which he is beckoned to the fog-ridden town of Silent Hill at the same time as numerous other people troubled by their past.

DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist. The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.

NN is an award-winning 2D action/puzzle platformer reminiscent of Lode Runner: you're a tiny stick figure running around in a puzzle-y world inhabited by enemies. But in N, there's a twist: the ninja is driven not only by a thirst for gold, but also by a physics simulation. Expect to encounter death frequently, animated with hilarious ragdoll physics. N includes a built-in editor, called Ned. You can make your own levels to share with the community or hoard for yourself. Infinite levels, woo!

N+N+ is a port of the original Adobe Flash based PC game, N, to console and handheld systems with new features. "N+ is a peerless action-puzzle platformer with more than 300 levels in which to hone your ninja reflexes, plus a built-in level editor for when you're hungry for more. N+ also features unique, physics-based controls, stylish graphics, unlimited lives, competitive and cooperative multiplayer, plenty of gold, and several flavors of sweet, sweet action." "N+ features N doesn't have: -Redesigned graphics and visual effects: a more detailed version of N's in-your-face minimalist style -New objects and enemies: Pulse Drone, Laser Turret and Zap Doors -Background music and next-gen 5.1 surround sound -Way over 400 all-new levels -3 pants-wettingly good modes of multiplayer: Co-op, Race and Survival"

N++N++ is a fast-paced, action-packed platformer set in the distant future. You play as a ninja, darting through obstacles, narrowly evading a slew of inadvertently homicidal enemy robots and collecting gold in a minimalist, sci-fi world. N++ is all about smooth physics, deftly controlling the speed and inertia of the character, and the awesome feeling of fluidly moving through each level.
