Definitely an old game that was pulled off the store shelves long before its time. Highly recommended!
One of the most original games of all time, The Sentinel is one of Geoff Crammond's early games, and quite an unusual one for him as it is everything but a racing game.

Whatever the reason, Sexy Droids is a thoroughly uninteresting, average puzzle games that everyone can afford to miss.

One of the best Lemmings clones I have ever played and certainly the funniest, Shoujo Attack! is a great Lemmings clone that manages to parody Japanese anime/manga culture in the process :) Your job: guide ... Attack! is a must-have. It may not be as creative or original as Lemmings, but the very funny tasks and decent level designs make the game a really clever parody that is also addictive to boot.

The music is fine, the graphics adequate, and the game play is fair enough. However, the match two had been done to death, followed more recently by the match three.

Recommended to fans of turn-based, third-person brainteasers.
Review 1: Whoa yeah - leave reality behind and play Sokoban. This game can really hook you up with this simple concept of moving crates to the right places. It starts up so nice and simple but gets harder ... an early 80's game? You'll still get addicted even if the colours make you feel a bit wasted ;). You HAVE to play this game, it's the original and can't be beat. It's the mother of all puzzle games!
Review 1: A disappointing conversion of Tecmo's popular platform/puzzle arcade game, done by Probe Entertainment. I remember this game quite well on the C64 when it was a lot of fun.

Watch out for the monsters and other things in the level that might try to catch you.
Solomon's Key: Another Version is a neat freeware clone of Solomon's Key, a neat puzzle game from Tecmo that was released on just about every 8-bit computer and consoles including the PC - thought the ... this neat little freeware gem is well worth a look - and it's much better than the awful-looking CGA official PC version of Solomon's Key that was made way back in 1988 (also reviewed on this site).

The first Star Trek trivia game in existence is also interestingly the very first shareware game Apogee released-- in 1986. Despite archaic text-based interface, the game stands up well with time, featuring dozens of questions related to the original series that range from the common to the obscure. A good way to show off your Trekkie knowledge to friends.

Anyone who loves Tetris will love this game, except perhaps for a handful of purists :)
Review 1: Swap is a nice puzzle/logic game by Microids. This one is one from the more tougher category. You'll have to clear a board made-up of coloured tiles (squares, triangles or hexagons) by swapping ... on the computer screen ;) Recommended!

Swing is one of the better Tetris clones released commercially. The falling block routine remains the same, but made much trickier by the addition of weight element. Your goal is to match three or more ... and are nothing but a nuisance. If you enjoy Tetris, you will definitely like Swing. It is much harder, more varied, and breathes new life in to the familiar formula with many original features.
