Title:Cai's Quest 3 - The Runic WarGenre:RPG
Developer:VenosoftYear:2002
Description:An average RPG. Quality of the graphics really dances around, from shamefully poor sprites of some monsters to very good looking scenery in battles. The game features huge amount of non-original music and few sound effects, but the music/sound is powered by DS4QB2 so it probably won't work in Windows 2000/NT and XP (you have an option to disable the music). The world seems large and interesting, but the gameplay is not well designed. During battles you need to wait terribly long to be able to attack, which is a cheap and annoying way to increase the play time of a game. Also, you can't save a game in any moment but only on some locations.

Title:Candle In The DarkGenre:RPG
Developer:Jocke The BeastYear:2000
Description:A rather poor RPG with poor and flickerish graphics and little amount of it in general. The movement is tile by tile based. A great deal of the game is textual. Candle In The Dark also features some sloppiness, like the same city appearing on the map twice. On the beginning of the game it's difficult to win in any battle (questionable gameplay).

Title:CannonsGenre:Strategy
Developer:red_MarvinYear:2003
Description:An ok Scorched Earth clone made for the one key challenge where you had to create a game controlled with one key (the very game, not the menus, etc.). The graphics are ok, as the gameplay. Still, Cannons doesn't feature computer opponent(s) so without someone to play it with, it's not much of a fun game. No music or sound effects.

Title:Capt'n Squiddy's Bootleg PUSH-PUSHGenre:Puzzle

Title:Carrace 3201Genre:Driving
Developer:Daniel ErikssonYear:2000
Description:Absolutely horrible car driving game. If you can call it driving. It's more a car moving game. You move your car through all the same looking, square shaped tracks. A brain-dead person can finish this game. I gave it 1 in the score only because of the effort visible on some places (like the intro).

Title:Cartman's QuestGenre:Action
Developer:TopGun SoftwareYear:1999
Description:Simple, but terribly amusing action game featuring South Park characters. Your objective is to throw a certain object (I was unable to decipher what it is) at the jumping heads in the level and avoid being hit by them. Highly addictive. MIDI background music.

Title:Chobo CastleGenre:Action
Developer:Digital Chaos and Ichiban AddictYear:2003
Description:A collector game with the same concept as the one in Absorb, but here you move a duck inside a specific level and have to gather all the eggs in it before the time runs out. Addictive gameplay, but the game lacks diversity in graphics and could use a better graphical design in general.

Title:Chrystal WinterGenre:RPG
Developer:BadMrBox and DeuceYear:2003
Description:A terrible RPG featuring ridiculously shallow story and very small world. The game only features the main world map and several monsters to battle (plus the boss battle). No villages or towns to explore, only shops where you can buy food and save game. Poor graphics and a doubtful battle engine. No sound or music. Chrystal Winter was made for some short competition (I guess) so the lack of quality is mostly result of this.

Title:Coin, TheGenre:Action
Developer:jim theodoropoylosYear:2002
Description:A very original and innovative action game where you need to guide a coin to the level exit by changing the angle of ramps. Very addictive gameplay, but poor graphical design and lack of a save game feature (36 very challenging levels). Minimal but pleasant Sound Blaster sound effects.

Title:ColonyGenre:Strategy

Title:Columns ver.1.1Genre:Puzzle
Developer:Autumn SpringsYear:2001
Description:An excellent Columns game with several game modes, very good hi-res (640*480)graphics and Sound Blaster sound effects and music. The vertical movement is tile by tile, which I didn’t like. Maybe I'm just spoiled with Xixit. The default high scores tables are empty!

Title:Commander Keen 7 - Build 16Genre:Platform
Developer:Kevin WellwoodYear:2002
Description:This is not a fan made episode of Commander Keen, but almost an EXACT copy of Commander Keen 4 (it lacks some features, actually). While I appreciate the designer for creating a powerful platform engine, I see no sense in playing this game since there is the original Commander Keen 4. Both games are available for free and are DOS based programs. Anyway, the main purpose of this game was to create a basis for a possible fan-made episode 7. The extra download is the original installation program.

Developer:Thomas & Leandro ProductionsYear:2000
Description:A Pang remake that uses graphics ripped from Commander Keen 4 and 6. The gameplay is below average. The game features a nice amount of levels and two game modes. The original sprites were not so well ripped and adjusted for this game. Commander Pang also features MIDI background music.

Title:Connect 4Genre:Puzzle

Title:ContactGenre:Action
Developer:Wallace SoftwareYear:2004
Description:If we ignore the fact that Contact is a QBasic FPS, this is a rather mediocre game. The designer invested a lot of effort in the story and the huge amount of cinematics, while the level textures are poor and lack diversity. The level design is also poor, and since all halls look the same, the player can get lost easily. Contact also features a lot of sloppiness. The game needs to be unpacked in a specific directory, if the player dies the game completely ends (back to OS), there are no proper credits displayed inside the game, voice acting is terrible, and there are bugs in the 3D engine. A game with many elements that contradict in quality.

Title:Cookie DeliveryGenre:Action

Title:Copter WarsGenre:Action
Developer:MW SoftwareYear:2001
Description:A boring, poor and very technically imperfect action game where you control a helicopter and drop bombs on the vehicle(s) beneath you. There is no scrolling and you only play for the score. Ok menus and presentation, but this game looks and plays too much awkward while not compensating that with the gameplay.

Title:Cosmic 2Genre:Action
Developer:RAM Inc.Year:2000
Description:An obscure Russian game (English documentation is available and knowledge of Russian is not necessary to play the game) featuring very cool hi-res graphics and funny Sound Blaster sound effects (Russian voice mumbling stuff, heh), but with terribly boring and unchallenging gameplay. You control a space ship and need to avoid obstacles which advance one by one. Interesting only because of the graphics and the sound.

Title:CrystalGenre:Platform
Developer:SingsongYear:2001
Description:A very good ASCII (text-based) platform game. It features 20 levels, cutscenes (progressive story) and bosses. Very challenging. The controls are also good for a text game (you can jump), but they are still not smooth enough so you might find the game frustrating to play.

Title:Cyber Chick BetaGenre:Platform
Developer:James Robert Osborne (WisdomDude)Year:2004
Description:Final demo of an exceptional platform game featuring an excellent engine, brilliant graphics (but somewhat uneven in quality) and very good music and sound effects. The gameplay is also very good, but I did find the game very difficult so beware. Huge amount of locations, enemies and bosses. Sadly, it looks like the development on this game was abruptly canceled leaving many locations and aspects of the game unfinished/untested. Still, the top quality of the work done so far makes this demo worth being downloaded.

Title:CyberionGenre:Action
Developer:LutasartsYear:2000
Description:An action/management game in space. It combines Elite, Asteroids and Lander. No fancy graphics, but it's nicely done. The game is missing few features like other space ships but yours. Also, the game could use loops that prevent double clicking. Sometimes you may initiate landing on the planet from which you just took off, because the same key is used for taking off and landing. Cyberion is mostly consisted of destroying asteroids and trading stocks. The game features 4 Sound Blaster sound effects.

Title:CycloneGenre:Action
Developer:SV ReanimatorYear:1999
Description:An excellent helicopter arcade game. The gameplay is level-based, and the goal in each level is to pickup 5 boxes scattered around the map (plus hostages for bonus). The graphics and the engine are excellent, while the sound effects are very good. The gameplay is somewhat repetitive and not varied enough (no weapons!). Pity, since the graphics and the engine could have been exploited much better.

Title:CynetGenre:Action
Developer:NECROMASONYear:1998
Description:One of the worst games in the directory. Cynet is a horrible "shooter". You control some cyborg which can move only vertically. The enemies invade toward you in a straight horizontal line while you need to shoot them down. Terrible and silly graphics, poor controls, poor code and horrible gameplay. The game runs too fast on modern PCs, but if you use a slowdown utility the game is jerky and annoyingly slow in some places (like the death animations). Nice title screen and main menu.
