This is, together with Tanglewood and Major Motion, one of the three Microdeal games I used to play on the Amiga. Also the only one who's name I could remember for a long time. Back then I had no idea what copyright or IP infringement was so when I got to a map that was clearly a Star Trek ship I was like "Woah, this looks like the Enterprise". Still my english was only rudimentary so the out of place text adventure bits kinda stopped me from advancing too far in certain parts. While in others it was my lack of skill that did it. I wanna bandit some time again.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
