Alternate Reality: The City

Alternate Reality: The City (1985)

by Paradise Programmin, Datasoft, Inc.
Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Themes:Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:In Alternate Reality: The City, you are one of many people who have been abducted from earth by aliens and transported to an alternate dimension where you are dumped in a strange, yet familiar city. Your quest is to explore the city, and find the clues that will lead you to your captors and help you get back home. In addition to standard first-person RPG features of that era, like skills, stats, experience points and a repertoire of shops and places to visit, the game offers moral evaluation of your character, and depending on your actions you become good or evil, and that affects how the environment reacts to you. Encounters are not necessarily just resolved with the turn-based combat system, but you can also try to trick, charm or bribe opponents. The storyline is non-linear, for example allowing you to take a job in order to enhance a particular skill or just to pass away time.Show more

One of the best games I ever got for my Atari 800XL. I used to play for hours after school, and CDs were still new so the only ones I had to listen to were Exposé’s Exposure and the soundtrack to Madam Butterfly. Either one takes me right back to that time, trying to map out every square in the game, finding all the businesses that could keep me alive. So much fun, and the game sounds and music were awesome.

Wizardry: New Age of Llylgamyn
Wizardry: New Age of LlylgamynNew Age of Llylgamyn is the second set of Wizardry remakes for the Playstation (Llylgamyn Saga was the first and encompassed the original trilogy). It consists of the classic and arrange versions of the notoriously hard Wizardry IV: The Return of Werdna as well as a remake of Wizardry V: Heart of Maelstrom. Sporting improved visuals, new orchestral soundtrack, auto-mapping, quick-saving and a nifty feature which allows the player to switch back to the wireframe graphics and 8-bit sprites, it is arguably the best way to enjoy these classic dungeon crawlers.
