 B-17 Flying Fortress is a simulation of the legendary heavy bomber of World War II.

After customizing one's bomber with nose art and a name, one of several randomly assigned bombing missions into Germany must be flown. The game not only features actual flight simulation, but also crew management. Each of the 10 crew members has ratings for categories like piloting, bombing and gunnery. During a mission, crew members can be reassigned to other posts if needed because of injuries. Each position including the pilot seat, the guns and the bombing sight can of course also be controlled by the player.

A historically accurate number of 25 missions must be flown and survived to complete a tour of duty.

 B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th! is a flight sim featuring the famous WWII bomber, made by some of the team who also created B-17 Flying Fortress for MicroProse.

You can take control over every of 16 positions available in this plane: Pilot, Gunner, Bomber or communications officer. You can also fly one of the escort fighters (P-38 Lightning, P-51 Mustang, and P-47 Thunderbolt) or German fighters (Bf 109, FW 190, and Me 262).

The flight model is very accurate, as is the graphics and sounds used to represent plane damage.

In addition to managing the aircraft and bombing missions, one also has to manage the bomber crew, take care of the wounded, make sure they don't panic under fire, almost like in an RPG.

  As the eponymous Baby Jo you're trying to make it back home. Can a simple baby get past the four levels while avoiding the bad-tempered animals and machines on the way?

Baby Jo in: "Going Home" is a side-scrolling platform game. Jo can pick up rattles which can be tossed at enemies (such as bees, lawnmowers or spiders). Apart from watching out for the baby's dropping health (represented as an increasingly tearful face), the baby's diaper gets wetter over time and the thirst increases, too. If the diaper becomes too wet or the baby becomes too thirsty, the player immediately loses a life, so collecting fresh bottles and diapers is important.

The game is multilingual (you can choose between English, French, German and Spanish).

 The Bachelor: The Videogame is an adaptation of the reality-TV series The Bachelor and The Bachelorette in which contestants compete to win The Bachelor/Bachelorette's heart. The game is divided in five episodes in which the player must complete and win at mini-games to impress The Bachelor/Bachelorette. It features cartoon versions of Bachelors/Bachelorettes from the show such as Brad Womack, Matt Grant, Jason Mesnick, DeAnna Pappas and Trista Rehn. In each episode, the contestant with the best score will earn a rose from the Bachelor/Bachelorette in the Rose Ceremony and progress to the next stage. The ultimate goal is to be the best player and to charm the Bachelor/Bachelorette so he/she proposes.

Some of the mini-games include:
  • Trace It - Various drawings (outlines) of objects will be displayed one after the other. The player must trace over the line as accurately and as fast as possible.
  • Shape It - The player must put the pieces of the puzzle together to reveal the image.
  • Swat It - The player's in a jacuzzi with the Bachelor when bees attack and must use a shoe to "swat" them.
  • Ready, Set, Dress - A a memory game in which the player is shown sets of items of different colors for a few seconds. After they are hidden, the player is given a color and asked to find all items of that color before the opponent does.
The game also features ten personality quizzes. By answering these quizzes, players can test their compatibility with all the Bachelors/Bachelorettes!

 Back to the Future 
 Back to the Future NES Front Cover Back to the Future NES Back Cover  

In Back to the Future, 80s teen Marty McFly is mistakenly send 30 years into the past where he disrupts his own parents from meeting. Faced with extinction at the hands of a temporal paradox, Marty must find a way to reunite his future parents and make it back to his own time.

LJN's game differs completely from the computer versions, and plays as a literal race against time broken up by brief arcade minigames. In the main game, the player controls Marty in an overhead view as he runs down the streets of 1950s Hill Valley. A collection of period-appropriate bad guys block his path, including bullies, hula hoop girls, bumblebees, and park benches. The camera scrolls forward at a fixed speed, so the player must keep Marty on the move and away from obstacles. Hitting one causes Marty to fall and lose a life. The player must also collect clocks scattered on the street to stop Marty's photograph from fading away. If it fades completely, Marty is erased from existence.

Street running sections lead to three minigames. In these, Marty must sling milkshakes at oncoming bullies, deflect kisses (shown as hearts) from his mother, and collect notes to rock out on stage at the high school dance. The final stage resembles the street sections, as the player must control the DeLorean time machine and collect enough energy to travel through time (shown as lightning bolts instead of clocks).

 Back to the Future II is a collection of five arcade and puzzle games.

Based on the second installment of the popular Hollywood series Back to the Future, this movie conversion has Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel through time to stop their arch-rival Biff from changing the future. The game consists of five parts, each inspired by one of the movie's most memorable scenes:
  • Hoverboard Chase: A Paperboy clone without newspapers, but with isometric levels and lots of enemies to dodge.
  • Jennifer Rescue: Guide Marty's girlfriend Jennifer out of the house without her meeting one of the four family members. Open and close doors to make the persons go from one room to the next in this top-down puzzle sequence.
  • Beat Biff: A side-scrolling beat-em-up sequence in the tradition of Double Dragon. Fight your way through a grim 1985 by jumping, hitting and kicking at Biff's lackeys.
  • Band Puzzle: Rearrange the mixed-up parts of an animated picture of the school band in this sliding block puzzle. The clock is ticking.
  • Hoverboard Chase 2: Another hoverboard sequence, similar to the first one, only this time set in 1955.
Back to the Future Part 3

 Back to the Future III is a collection of four arcade games. Marty McFly and Doc Brown have traveled back through time to the year 1885 - and they're soon deep in trouble when they face "Mad Dog" Tannen's gang and have to find a way to return to the present. This game takes four scenes from the Hollywood movie Back to the Future III and turns them into arcade sequences:
  • Buckboard Chase: Doc Brown goes horseback in an attempt to save Hill Valley's lovely school teacher Clara. This game of quick ducking, jumping and shooting alternates between a side-scrolling and a top-down perspective.

  • Shooting Gallery: The name says it all. A classic game of aim-and-shoot, spiced up by hidden extras and bonus targets.

  • Pie Throwing: Meet the Mad Dog gang. They have guns, and you have... cream pies. It's an isometric version of the shooting gallery, only with ammo. And the targets shoot back.

  • The Train: Basically a side-scrolling beat-em-up on train wagons with some ducking and jumping. Get rid of the mechanics and collect speed logs to push the engine to a magic 88 mph.


Backyard Wrestling : Dont Try This at Home

Wrestling need not be limited to a ring and bare arms. In Backyard Wrestling you can use bricks, tables and anything else found within range - nothing in the environment is statically painted-on. These objects are incorporated into many surprising stunts. The damage modeling includes full blood and gore, which coupled with an intense rock-rap soundtrack ensures that this is not a game for younger players. There are 30 pre-configured wrestlers, and you can create your own to take them on.
Backyard Wrestling 2 :There Goes a Neighborhood

 Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood is the second game in a series of fast paced fighting-wrestling hybrid games. The game is based on the BYW license, a gruesome series of videos of amateur wrestlers who actually do, at times, wrestle in backyards. In the game, a tournament has shown up in your town, and the one million dollar prize is turning everyone into a backyard wrestler, and every place into a ring. Players take their created wrestler through the different federations to have a chance at the money. There is a versus mode, and unlockable content.

Bad Blood
 Bad Blood DOS Front Cover  Bad Blood DOS Back Cover 

 A nuclear war has turned the world into a wasteland. The pure-blooded humans have retreated in large cities while mutants live in small villages on the plains where they make a living by hunting the many monsters. Now one of the human leaders, Lord Dominix, wants to start a war to wipe out all the "bad-blooded" mutants. Your village chief has assigned you with the task of preventing this war.

Bad Blood is a top-down action game with light role-playing elements. You can not create your own character but have to pick one of the three predefined ones: Varrigg (a strong green mutant who fights with his bare hands), Dekker (a human male armed with a knife) or Jakka (she looks human but can shoot laser beams from her eyes like Cyclops of X-Men fame). The choice you make has only a limited impact on gameplay and storyline.

Gameplay consists of exploring the world map, visiting several cities and villages, talking with NPCs, picking up items and new weapons (like shotguns, grenades, Uzis etc.) and lots of real-time combat. Bad Blood lacks character stats and character development. The game has a day-night cycle which influences the amount of monsters on the plains and whether or not you can talk with some NPCs.

Bad Boys : Miami Takedown
 Bad Boys: Miami Takedown PlayStation 2 Front Cover  Bad Boys: Miami Takedown PlayStation 2 Back Cover 

 This game is based on the Will Smith & Martin Lawrence buddy cop movie sequel Bad Boys II. You can play as either character, Mike or Marcus, from 1st or 3rd person viewpoints. Each has their own personalities and characteristics.

Through 15 stages, you engage in fast paced all-action gameplay that features multiple mission objectives. Shoot your way through Colombian drug lords, Russian mobsters, and even dirty cops. Sometimes you will need to protect your computer controlled partner or collect some evidence. You can often duck behind a wall or around a corner, from where you will be able to pick off your targets with less chance of being hit. You will be accordingly rewarded on your successful actions and achievements on a "Bad Boy" rating system. You can follow all the laws and avoid unneccesary damage or take the opposite approach and be a Bad Boy. There's a good amount of different weapons from pistols and shotguns to automatic assault rifles and grenades. Environments are fully destructable. You can use a quick aiming and shooting Action mode, or search for clues and evidence using the Explore mode.

Balance of Power 
 Balance of Power DOS Front Cover  Balance of Power DOS Back Cover

 The year is 1986. You take on the role of the US President or the Russian General Secretary. You have the full industrial capacity, covert forces, and military might of your country at your command. Your job? To make your country the world's most powerful and prestigious over the course of your eight years in office. Sounds easy, doesn't it? It would be if the other guy didn't have his finger poised over a red button that could wipe out the world!

You must use diplomacy, make treaties, issue risky, covert CIA or KGB actions, or riskier, direct military intervention to prop up third world countries or help their insurgents and win them to your governmental philosophy: Capitalism or Communism. The world is a big place... and the other guy could start a nuclear war over a country as tiny as Tunisia. This game is the ultimate Cold War simulation. Every action requires careful analysis and the ability to judge your opponent (computer or human) and his reaction. The game features 62 countries, each carefully researched with up to date (as of 1985) information regarding their government, demographics, resources, etc.
