Screamer

Description

Lights blur. The crowd whizzes past. Your helmet rattles against the roll bar and the competition switches into overdrive. Tears stream from your eyes and the race moves into extreme speed. Tears of sweat. The same stuff that’s seeping off your palms and onto the steering wheel. Get a grip. You’re sliding into a turn at 200 miles per hour and centrifugal force will only carry you so far.

Screamer is a traditional arcade racing game. The player can drive many different cars such as a Corvette, a Porsche 911, and others. The game has varied tracks, all of which are available in backwards mode. Players can take on the Bullet car for the ultimate championship race.

This is velocity-driven, pedal-to-the-metal arcade racing. Strapped into a personally chosen made-for-the-Autobahn racing machine, you’ll scream to redefine fast in this winding 3D ride of pure fun. …

SimCity Classic Enhanced

Description

The original Sim City game was a revelation to thousands of computer gamers. It was a game where you could really affect the outcome of the game by the way you built your city, and was the forerunner of simulation games to come.
Since then, the franchise has been expanded with Titles like Sim Ant, Sim Farm, Sim Isle and Sim Safari. Then, in 1995, MacPlay came out with Sim City Enhanced.
Like Sim City 2000 Special Edition, Sim City Enchanced includes quicktime movies showing you how your city is progressing. Reports from your city managers are interspersed with quicktime movies of your city’s residents responding to disasters, rioting, or just going about their daily lives.

However, it’s in the disasters where the movies really stand out. Shots of actual disasters are overlaid with the voice of the Sim News Anchorwoman reporting on the disaster. Occasionally, we get to see the Sims responding to the disaster, either by running away in terror or by rioting.
This is not to say that the enhanced version is totally without flaws. Every time you click on a button, the voice of the city manager tells you what you have chosen and how much it costs. Startling at first, after a while, her voice becomes incredibly annoying. …
