With the voice of Harlan Ellison as AM (who also wrote the short story based on the game), there are some real tense and odd moments. So it’s quite chipper.Īnyway, AM takes the character you choose into their past and throws them into their darkest fears.

Quite a disturbing adventure game this, as you play as one of five tortured characters trying to outwit the hateful Allied Mastercomputer, or AM as he likes to call himself.Ĭan you remember the opening? It’s About how much he hates humanity, how if every nanoangstrom of the 387 miles of circuitry was engraved with the word Hate, that wouldn’t equal one one-billionth of the hate AM feels towards us. An excellent game, even by today’s standards. The floppy disk version though was just as captivating, but those Spice demands were tough. It was a stunning game, with the later CD version having stills and clips from the film as well as speech. You played as Paul Atreides, managing mining the Spice production, the Fremen, and bringing the fight to the Harkonnen to drive them off Dune. “He who controls the Spice, controls the universe.” Dunefor DOS was a great adventure strategy game that followed the novel quite closely.

The first episode has you rescuing eight sages, who will help you stop the Shikadi from destroying the galaxy. I bought myself a see-through Gravis Joystick, and the game that came with it was the shareware title Commander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy.Ĭommander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy was the third game in the Commander Keen series, and one of the more popular. Wasn’t there some kind of FBI raid at the time that seized all the master disks? 48. The only way you can pay him back is to buy drugs from one location, and sell them for more in another location. That didn’t stop a lot of us from buying the disk from computer fairs though.īasically the immoral storyline has you as a small-time drug dealer, in debt up to your eyeballs with a loan shark. Dope WarsĪnother DOS game that caused something of a stir from various focus groups, churches, parents against things corrupting their young and pretty much everyone on the planet with a moral consciousness. It wasn’t one to show your mother, and I vaguely recall there being some Mary Whitehouse-like backlash from the idea that you’re setting fire to government buildings.
