All Demos    Close Combat 2    A Bridge Too Far is a historically accurate real-time World War II strategy game that puts you in command of the Axis or Allied powers in a fight to control five strategic bridges. The key features of A Bridge Too Far are: A tactically realistic battlefield: The game features true line-of-sight and line-of-fire, direct and indirect fire, elevation effects for terrain and buildings, the ability to enter buildings for protection, and a limited amount of ammunition. In addition, troops behave like real soldiers-- they react realistically to the situation you place them in. Strategic elements that challenge gamers to outthink their opponents. The resource allocation model challenges you to manage a limited amount of reserves and to determine when and where to use your troops relative to the demands of a large operation. The ebb and flow of battles allows you to fight multiple battles over the same map. This means you can push or get pushed across maps you have previously won. Soldier morale and status carry over from map to map within the campaign, and map damage stays persistent through new battles. For multiplayer operations or a quick experience of "what-if" scenarios, you can customize battles by setting different deployment zones, victory locations, initial force mix, and requisition points.    clscmbat.2\clscmbat.exe    n/a    ccombat    http://www.microsoft.com/games/closecombat/    For Win95.

All Demos    Dark Earth    Dark Earth is our Earth, three centuries into the future. But far from being the happy, glowing future we might hope for, this is a ravaged, icy, merciless world. The days are perpetual twilight while the nights are shrouded in utter darkness.  On Dark Earth, light is the most precious commodity there is. Nobody ventures out alone into the desolate landscape of Dark Earth. Death lurks everywhere, and there are the creatures, the 'things' that creep and crawl soundlessly through the night into the rash traveller's camp: the foolhardy voyager will never again see the half-light of day.

All Demos    Dungeon Keeper    You have control of a series of evil underground domains, and you must defeat enemy keepers and destroy the forces of goodness which try to breach your walls. It's your job deal with your forces as you see fit. Give them too much leeway and they'll demand more gold and become lazy. Treat them too harshly and they could turn against you. It's the ultimate in management conundrums. Amass an army and build rooms in which to house, train, recruit and improve your legions. It's a race against time, though, as your foe is somewhere out there in the darkness, doing exactly the same.    dkeeper\winsetup\setup.exe    n/a    dgnkeepr    http://www.bullfrog.ea.com/    For Win95.

All Demos    Hexen II    It was precisely one year ago that Eidolon came to our world of Thyrion. On the evening before his arrival, a rain of fire streamed down from the sky, scorching citizens and buildings alike on the four continents of our fair planet. By dawn the populace was fearful and demoralized, and they fell quickly before the march of EidolonÆs vile Golems. The attack was bold and carefully executed. All four continents had fallen by midday: a sad tribute to the withered resistance of our four mighty nations. Even now I am shamed to think of it. Now, a full year after the conquest, Thyrion still huddles in a state of constant fear and dread. The conquest has ended, and many humans yet surviveûbut in these times of trouble, life itself is a meager blessing. EidolonÆs minions overrun the land and kill its populace for sport. The cleverest humans make themselves unobtrusive, avoiding EidolonÆs creatures and attempting little more than to survive. It is under these dreary conditions that I write the manuscript you now hold in your hands.   Hexen II is a worthy successor to the original, this time utilizing the full functionality of the Quake engine.     hexen2\hexen_ii.exe    n/a    hexen2    http://www.activision.com/games/action/hexenII/index.html    For Win95.
