Hoyle Official Book of Games: Volume 3

Hoyle Official Book of Games: Volume 3 (1991)

Genres:Strategy, Simulator, Quiz/Trivia, Card & Board Game
Story:Six board games are transformed to the computer screen in the third Hoyle's release. Snakes & Ladders, Backgammon, Yacht / Yahtzee, Checkers, Dominoes and Pachisi / Parcheesi all feature, with animated graphics and sound effects. As there is no time-sensitive action, and the game rules are familiar, these packs were designed to appeal to a wider range of people than most computer games. At least one human player is required - other players can be human or computer. The 18 computer opponents from the first Hoyle's game return, many of them modeled on other Sierra characters such as Larry Laffer, and again some play 'good' and some play 'evil'.Show more

You ever want to face against Sludge Vohaul in Dominoes? Yeah, me either. But you can certainly challenge him and many other Sierra adventure regulars in this third installment of various home games; a better rainy day kit than the actual board games because you can't misplace the pieces and Rodger Wilco is a better sport than your aunt, anyways.
Those games also need your vote!

Star Wars: DroidWorks
Star Wars: DroidWorksStar Wars: DroidWorks is a 1998 edutainment computer game and the premiere title from LucasArts subsidiary Lucas Learning. It uses the same engine as LucasArts' previous title Star Wars: Jedi Knight. The creators aimed to create a game that would be both appealing and nonviolent. The game's original release date was moved up by months, which resulted in the development team cutting some planned game features. The game's plot involves the player saving the galaxy by manufacturing droids with specific abilities, such as the ability to see in the dark or jump, to complete missions. The educational portions of these missions teach players about concepts such as energy, force, motion, simple machines, light, and magnetism. Star Wars: DroidWorks received high praise from critics, sold well, and won numerous awards and accolades.
