Throw In is a football game inspired by classic gameplay games as for example Kick Off 2 and Sensible Soccer providing a ultra-fast action and responsive controls. The game it is during development but it is available a fully playable beta version. Just as classic games you can do anything on the pitch with just a classic joystick with a single fire button. A second button can be enabled though. The final version will probably be released in mid 2009. Until then you can testplay betaversions that are available for download.
Space Hulk is a board game developed by Games Workshop several years ago. It is a turn based game focusing on the fictional battle between man and alien in a distant world. Several variations have been made to both Amiga and PC’s but none has really embraced the turn aspect of the game so that was authors’ intentions when they started making this game.This game builds on old traditions such as hand pixeled 2D sprites. There is no multi billion 3D engine backing it up, only the Allegro Gaming Library and what that can provide.
But when it comes to quality and fun the pieces put into the game are well polished thanks to a development process of one and a half year with quality assuarance and testing from almost day one. The game is only designed to be a single player game. The tested platforms are Windows XP and Windows VISTA. The game is build based on the Allegro Gaming Library meaning that if Allegro supports your platform and a DLL supporting your platform the game should run.
After the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy setting of Revolution’s first game, Lure of the Temptress, Revolution decided to go down a completely different avenue with its second adventure game, Beneath a Steel Sky, that of Science Fiction. A bleak vision of the future was imagined, where mind control and medical science combined forces to repress the populace. Leading comic artist, Dave Gibbons, joined the design team to visualize this desperate landscape. The result, released in 1994, was the cult classic Beneath a Steel Sky.
Beneath a Steel Sky was produced for Amiga and PC.
