This Adiboo/Adibou is actually the second game in the series but the most well-loved by a considerabler margin. It put sparkles in the childhood of so many French kids in the late 90's/early 2000's. You could cook, plant flowers, draw, hear infectious nursery rhymes, play little games... Oh right, and you could learn things. It was the main point actually : the base game was a hub and you could buy add-ons to learn about stuff like math or English.
It's a legendary game in French-speaking countries that unfortunately doesn't run well on modern systems and isn't available anywhere anymore. With the licence having recently made a comeback on mobile, Adibou 2 deserves a refreshed, complete edition with every expansion included.
Adibou is one of the very first video games I played on my parents computer. I remembered being obsessed with the various mini games and the songs. I still own a working CD of the game that I keep preciously.

The setting and story of Snatcher is heavily influenced by cyberpunk and science-fiction media, taking place in a large futuristic dystopian city. The story revolves around an investigator named Gillian Seed assigned to investigate a breed of bioroids known as "snatchers", who are killing humans and taking their place in society.

The player can choose to "Look", "Investigate", "Talk", "Ask" and "Move" (in addition to other options) to acquire key items or receive vital information from other characters. The player can analyze items in Gillian's belongings or show it to other characters. During key points of the game's story, the player must pass shooting sequences to defend Gillian from assailants. These shooting segments use a 3x3 grid which the player can target to fire at enemies. A shooting trainer, called "Junker's Eyes", is accessible at Junker HQ that allows the player to measure their accuracy.Fantasy Science fiction

ShannaraShannara is a computer game released in 1995 for DOS and Microsoft Windows. It is based on the Shannara series of books by Terry Brooks.
The game has some elements taken from RPGs, such as top-down world-map traveling and occasional turn-based battles. However, there is no real role-playing system in the game (statistics, experience points, levels, etc.). The battles serve to emphasize the danger of traveling the wilderness, or appear as story-related events; sometimes, they are treated like puzzles, with specific actions leading to victory.Fantasy
