Alien Logic (1994)

Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Adventure, Puzzle
Themes:Action, Fantasy, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:In the 21st century, human beings have all but destroyed their home planet Earth. Surviving humans found a shelter on a planet called Jorune. A civil war errupted, humans fighting the indigenous population; eventually, peace was achieved, and the various races found a way to co-exist with each other... all except one. The Shantha, one of the most ancient and powerful races on Jorune, adepts at the magical art of Isho, were not satisfied with the shape the planet has taken. 3500 years later, one of them, known as the Red Shantha, began attacking human settlements. The hero of the game is one of the villagers who have survived Red Shantha's attack. Having found the way to master Isho, the hero must rescue his friends and explore the planet, searching for the source of evil. Alien Logic is based on the Skyrealms of Jorune role-playing system. The player takes control of one character; there is no party in the game. While there is a story to follow, much of the game is open-ended, dedicated to exploring Jorune, searching for items, precious crystals (which increase the hero's parameters), and fighting enemies. The exploration mode uses a side-scrolling perspective; the player can switch to combat mode when an enemy is nearby. Combat takes place on the same screen as exploration, and is action-based. Combat relies heavily on magic (Isho); casting spells deplete the Isho bar. Spell sequences are called dyshas, which can be offensive or defensive. Preparing dysha combinations beforehand and then using them on the enemies (by clicking on them) is an essential combat strategy.Show more

This was a game we owned when I was younger but I could never get running. I tried over and over because the manual made the world seem so interesting. I was fascinated and read it over and over, hoping the next time I tried the game would work. It wasn't until much later I was able to use the disc (that I still own) and DosBox to finally get it working and play the game. Its not easy, and requires a lot of notes (or a very good memory) but still holds up as a unique experience in a strange world.

Listening to a group (on Quinns Quest) playing the tabletop version of Skies of Jorune that was the basis for this game. Reminded me of a friend recommended it to me a long time ago, would love to be able to play it again without compatibility issues, and read yet another classic old manual
Like Myxia, I was made aware of this game through Quinns Quest. Jorune sounds like such a weird and interesting setting, and I'd be really interested in playing a game that seems to be nearly forgotten, despite being fairly well-received back in the day.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
