Alida (Got Game Entertainment)
37MB
"This intricate first person 3D graphical
adventure game created by Australian game developer, musician, and
artist Cos Russo is set on Alida, an abandoned island theme park ten
miles out at sea. Originally built and inhabited by a wildly
successful rock band, the island is actually a gigantic guitar,
replete with wondrous and ornate graphics, unique and bizarre
locations.
When the band split up, Alida was abandoned. But, now, several years
later, the band’s manager suggests a reunion on Alida. Soon
thereafter band member Arin leaves for the island and is not heard
from again. Players must search the island for the missing musician
and bring him home.
Featuring clever and thought-provoking puzzles, atmospheric ambient
effects, and an entrancing original music score, in their search for
Arin, players will soon find themselves lost in "Alida"."
"In the darkness of the Scandinavian nights, only the best protected cities dare to sleep with one hope…to resist the attacks of the hordes of Vikings, Ogres and Cimmerians
The magical and fantastic creatures are not the only dangers. Behind the fortifications an increasingly dangerous arsenal of war machines is created with a unique aim: The destruction of the mystical citadels!
Siege or be sieged…
Vikings and the Cimmerians used to live in peace… until one fateful day taking advantage of the absence of his elder brother Korin, Karon the Cimmerian propelled his kingdom into a bloody war against the Vikings.
Become Barmalay, leader of the Vikings, in search of freedom. Then join Korin, the overthrown Cimmerian king, in a valiant quest to restore peace and reclaim his throne. Complete all three epic campaigns to finally bring peace back to the kingdom devastated by magical creatures and fratricidal wars."
"Two years have passed since Peter Parker first hit the streets of New York City as the conflicted crime-fighter Spider-Man. Now he finds himself battling his most diabolical villain yet, the mechanized, multi-tentacled Doc Ock. The nefarious Doc Ock was once Dr. Otto Octavius, a brilliant nuclear physicist. But a freak accident transformed him from a timid researcher to a criminally insane megalomaniac who blames Spider-Man for his horrible transformation. Now the scientist Peter once idolized for his remarkable intellect has marked our web-slinger for death.
Experience total freedom as you soar through the concrete canyons of a living, breathing Manhattan, complete with familiar landmarks and bustling, traffic-clogged streets. True non-linear gameplay means you can web-swing wherever you like, whenever you like, exploring the vast metropolis and reliving scenes from the Spider-Man 2™ movie. Combat petty thugs and aid NYC citizens in challenging side-quests, or pursue the lunatic Doc Ock and other classic Spider-Man rivals. The decision is yours."
