Fights in Tight Spaces Review
Fights pick no time nor place. They often come without warning and you’re going to need your best deck of skills, as your enemies won’t hold back. In this Fights in Tight Spaces review I’ll tell you how it is, without pulling any punches. This is my first and last pun about Ground Shatter’s stylish turn-based strategy and deck-building hybrid, with an emphasis on John Wick-level shenanigans and an immeasurable number of blood splatters… But thankfully with less dog cruelty.Paint the Town RedThe first thing that will jump straight at you – apart from a clenched fist, that is – is
Wargroove Review
A game inspired by the classic Advanced War that evoke nostalgia for those who had played it, and introduce a turn-based grid-based battlefield in the like of chess play to those who haven’t, where being calculative is the key to beating the game.Story vs GameplayFirst and foremost, the core experience of the game lies not on the story progression nor the development of your characters (also known as Commanders in the game). It does however add some cool lore to each and every character that may enhance your experience as you play the custom matches, depending on what you are looking
Dead Age - Review
If you love to micro-manage survivors during a zombie apocalypse, taking turns to fight off zombies and some out-of-their-mind individuals during the desperate time, with a little text-based story to spice things up, Dead Age provides such a diet more delicious than brains to zombies.Survival and Resources ManagementLike life, what keeps us going is nothing more than food and resources. It remains the same in a world full of undead and braindead bandits that are trying to mess your life up. When your main character dies, the game is over and you will need to start a new game. To beat the
Marble Age Review
Few words about the gamePre-Civilization Marble Age is a quite complex but peaceful strategy game. Your goal is to expand your territory, make alliances and just explore around your world. It's a really entertaining game, mostly thanks to being based on actual history, but still it's a nice way to spend a free evening. It might not be the best strategy game around, especially with all those restrictions imposed by the game as a lot of potential development is wasted, yet it's one of the nicest I've personally playedAdvantagesLovely cartoon(ish) graphics and practical, adjustable in-game UISurprisingly, composite technologies tree that boosts

I started the original one a while ago and only a bit but never had a chance to finish. Shame, remastered is Epic exclusive on PC. Thanks for the review and reminding me my backlog :)

What a classic!
The fact I discovered in the public library of my city and rented the game when I was little. Because I didn't had internet and the rental was a couple days, I made an ISO file with Nero Burner to play the game when I pleased.
I was also lucky that I bought games in computer magazines(ComputerHoyJuegos) and Quiosks. Like having: Commandos 2, PcFútbol2001, Grouch(Rocko's Quest), S.W.A.T 3/4, Patrician III, Imperium III(Viriathus campaign being hard AF), Ground Control, NYR - New York Race, Age of Empires I & II + expansions + Mythology(+Titans), etc...
I was the lucky few that managed to buy this game before being delisted on Steam for a few €uros.
BTW if you are looking for "dead games" or want to contribute on a wiki useful for the consumers of the future, the Stop Killing Games community made a wiki with all the games that are being delisted, unplayable or in risk on dying soon:

It was still in the back of my mind, too, right up until I spied this upcoming article (I am SO behind in so much I've been wanting to write ).
But I don't think I could have done a better job - I'd already had my amazing experience with Prey well over a decade before and, though I probably could have done it some amount of justice then, I think I'd be too far distanced from it now.
I guess it worked out for the best though, since now we have this tribute - and more to look forward to!
I'm definitely glad you've listed some options for people who want to play.
I have a few other games I still think about and wish I could replay (from that awkward era of Windows 95).
I keep thinking I should just put together a dedicated machine with either Windows 95 or 98 so I can immerse myself in nostalgia, but I keep getting distracted with other things.

I did wonder if you'd avoid mentioning that part, but to be honest, that's not even the main twist, and I think a story in which Tommy actually manages to defeat the aliens and save everyone just sounds generic and would put people off, so I feel you struck a good balance with what you shared and what you left for people to experience themselves.

I NEARLY added Deadpool as my 10th suggestion, but then my sick mind thought of Ride to Hell, and I couldn't stop myself!
That and it's kind of a mainstream delisted game that has come back multiple times - still worthy of an article one day though I feel.July 06, 2026 -

I couldn't pick a better home to have it, so thank YOU for the opportunity. I absolutely couldn't think of a better title to kick it off with, and it was an absolute blast the whole way through.
There was just SO much to cover here, and while I know some might say that mentioning Enisis death was a spoiler, I felt it was enough of a "lead up to a core mechanic" that I felt ok mentioning it. But by the time I got to the end of the game, I felt I needed to really just set the stage and keep the rest under wraps, because I absolutely had no clue what to expect. I wanted to be sure that anyone else who finds a way to play this (Thanks for mentioning some additional ways!) would have the same first-time experience. Because honestly, and I think you might agree: you only get it once. And I can't say I've ever had a game absolutely put me out to dry like this one did, in SO many ways. I didn't want to ruin it for ANYONE.
Thank you for giving us a place to make ideas like this a reality.July 06, 2026 -

I absolutely do, and you have a few of them mentioned here!
Deadpool didn't make the list!?
A few of these I didn't have on my list, but I'll put them down as well!
I have another mini series brewing as well (PSX Grindhouse Horror) - so I'm trying to decide if I alternate, or I do a few back and forth.July 06, 2026 -

Thank you so much for your insight, and allowing me to harken back to your article!
I can't thank you enough! It was a great help to have another set of eyes and input!July 06, 2026
