Loved this unique game back in the day when I would hire it for the ps1 from the video shop. It was quite weird and funny cos you'd walk around in 1st person and set traps for random ppl who come to your house in each level. I would like to play it again and see how it holds up today.
This whole franchise should be a lot more available than it is. Being able to set up elaborate Rube Goldberg death mazes for invaders lends itself to modern streaming culture, where players could have their audience participate in the layout process. The first game admittedly spoke to me more than the sequels, given the inclusion of summoning monsters and RPG leveling and item use, but they're just such sadistic fun.
Building rooms, setting traps, and, later in the game, conjuring monsters, all that set in a medieval fantasy first person environment: It was outstanding, still not seen again until today, and possibly the best game a boardgame Hero Quest fanatic like myself could wish for back then. And, no doubts, today!

Criminal Girls: Invite Only
Criminal Girls: Invite OnlyCriminal Girls: Invite Only a Japanese role-playing game and the enhanced version of the original Criminal Girls game. The game follows a group of girls in Hell who have to climb a tower to be reincarnated. The battle system is unique since you give the characters, each representing a different vice, orders in battle and sometimes they won’t listen to you because they haven’t been trained.

Heimdall
HeimdallHeimdall is an action-adventure computer game developed by a team called The 8th Day and published by Core Design. The game is set in the world of Vikings and Norse mythology. Loki steals Odin's sword, Freyr's spear and Thor's hammer, rendering them powerless. They decide to create an infant, the title character (named after the god of the same name), who must bring back the three legendary weapons. The game sees Heimdall and his crew travelling around an archipelago of islands in three different maps: Utgard, Midgard and Asgard. They travel engaging monsters in combat, interacting with the locals, solving puzzles and avoiding traps, a blend of styles somewhat similar to that found in the Legend of Zelda games. The cartoon-style action is viewed in the isometric perspective.
