6807 4 2006-09-05 23:08:08 <em>Category: </em>rpg<br> <em>Description:</em> A role-playing simulator game. <p>I think the website explains it best: "Miller's Quest! is a role-playing simulator game. It could also be described as a 'fire-and-forget role-playing game'. In other words, it is not a role-playing game in the most traditional sense, because there is absolutely no player interaction. The emphasis on this game is the simulation of role-playing." Miller's Quest! 0.9.1 new Miller's Quest!

6809 4 2006-09-07 04:15:42 <p>Michael aka. Darkstar recently set up a small <a href=" http://rewiki.regengedanken.de">Wiki</a> which focuses on reverse-engineering of (old) games. So far, there isn't a lot of information, but he hopes that'll change soon. For example, he's currently working on reverse-engineering Eye of the Beholder III and documenting the script engine. <p>He could use some help, so if anyone out there is currently working on reverse-engineering an old game, please consider contributing your findings to the Wiki. The Wiki could also use people who are fluent with MediaWiki to improve the look & feel of the site :) Game reverse-engineering Wiki default

Though it does not seem very dense at the outskirts, your board computer readouts make you doubt you will ever see the other side of it - and did your radar just pick up traces of pirate activity!?<br> Keep control of your spaceship as you go ever deeper into the asteroid field and the gameplay reaches breakneck speed. Shoot asteroids and containers and collect power-ups, shield energy and special weapons. And last but not least - beware of the pirates!</p> Max Fighter 1.0 new Max Fighter
