![Absolute Blue - Space [MUSIC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MthGZq8Tkro/mqdefault.jpg "Absolute Blue - Space [MUSIC]
Absolute Blue is a free shoot em up, in the style of classics like R-Type and Gradius.
This is quite a big game, considering its freeware, with 12 levels set over four worlds. Absolute Blue features a tutorial, one of very few for this genre! You control a ship, and as you fly through space, scrolling right avoiding scenery and shooting down waves of enemies and the occasional boss.
The sound effects in Absolute Blue are very 16-bit era, which is fine. Graphically it is also reminiscent of that time, but a little more polished and with some great explosion effects. There are three difficulty levels, to suit most players.
What sets Absolute Blue apart is its over the top power-up system. When you start off, your ship is useless, but pick up a few power-ups and the tables are soon turned on the army of alien invaders. While you lose everything if you lose a life, once your power ups reach a certain level you will be firing so much around the screen enemies will barely have a moment to fight back! Of course, some may find this makes the game too easy, though its a lot of fun.
Absolute Blue is a great free shoot em up that looks and sounds good, and plays even better.")

Boston McShew (also known as Leisure Suit Harry) is proud to inform you that the AGI-SCI retro game
Space Quest minus 1 - Decisions of the Elders
is complete and ready for download.
I thought about postponing its release because so many SQ games have recently been completed. Since my game is different (its really retro style with 320x200 pictures, AGI fonts - design very similar to SQ2) its hardly comparable to the other games. I decided to release it right away.
Its some kind of hybrid between AGI (graphics) and modern aspects (icon controlled, ogg-Music).
If you are not yet convinced I have provided 2 screenshots under games in production.
If you loved the really old games youll like this one and spend a funny and melancholic hour.")

The superb soundtrack of Jane Jensens Moebius. Composed by Robert Holmes, also the composer for the Gabriel Knight games.
Moebius: Empire Rising is a graphic adventure video game developed by Pinkerton Road and Phoenix Online Studios. It was released on Microsoft Windows and OS X on April 15, 2014, with Linux, iOS and Android versions to follow. The game is a spiritual successor to the Gabriel Knight series.
The game tells the story of Malachi Rector, an antiques dealer who travels the world hunting down valuable artefacts. After returning from a trip to Spain hes hired by Amble Dexter, the head of a secretive government agency called FITA, to investigate a series of events and document them in his meticulous way.
The first event is the death of a young woman in Venice, found hanging from a bridge. As Rector investigates her life, he realizes that the beautiful and talented young woman—and the interrupted path of her life—had great hidden significance: Amble Dexter and his associates are playing with the fabric of life in a way Rector never imagined was possible. Even he, Rector himself, is part of a larger pattern. He must figure out who is doing what, and whether their intentions are for good or ill, before he can decide if he will play his pre-scripted role or try to change the outcome. This is a metaphysical thriller à la Dantes Equation and Gabriel Knight.")

Ben Jordan receives a call from his friends Simon Booth and Alice Wilkins. Simon has heard of a series of murders in Osaka, Japan, and thinks there is some sort of paranormal activity involved. Ben, Simon, and Alice travel to Japan, but soon find there is much more to the story than they first thought...
Ben Jordan: Paranormal Investigator is the main title of a planned series of eight amateur adventure games made by Francisco Grundislav Gonzalez with freeware adventure game engine Adventure Game Studio. To date, there have been seven games released in the series, each game being a separate case investigated by Ben Jordan, the protagonist and player character. Each game features the main title and a subtitle, usually relating to the plot of the case. The series distinguishes itself from other games about paranormal investigation in that many of the paranormal phenomena are taken from real-life legends and folklore.
There were originally nine games planned, but one was dropped because of a weak plot.")
![No Action Jackson (2004) Ending [WINDOWS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PnsmeCbo8AU/mqdefault.jpg "No Action Jackson (2004) Ending [WINDOWS]
Enter the world of Jackson, as you progress through his world in the game No Action Jackson. The game is your standard adventure game, but thats not all, it contains really great looking visuals, very challenging puzzles, and the humor of the old LucasArts games that brings back memories for those that know them.
The game starts off simple enough, you play as Jackson who is planning on going to play some D & D (Dungeons and Dragons) with his friends scheduled. Thats when trouble occurs when Jacksons mom says he has to spend some quality family time with his grandparents who came over. So starts the game as you try to escape from your house and get to your game with your buds. Once you do escape you find out your buds have ditched you and are doing their own activities and now you play the adventure as you follow Jacksons day in getting them together to play some D & D!
The interface of the game is classic LucasArts style reminiscent very much of games like Day of the Tentacle, with all the typical very choosing options pick up, talk to etc... The right mouse button also allows you to use the most common command on certain objects as well. The graphics in the game are very excellent, very bright and colorful in nature, but very closely resembling Day of the Tentacle style exactly. Heck even Jackson could be seen as a take off as Bernard from Day of the Tentacle, both in appearance and the way he acts. The game is also very animated and lively, as you wander the world, so its very cool to see that bit of effort was put into the game, as it enhances that nostalgia feeling.
Sound in the game is very well done, as the effects that are used from opening of doors, to using a certain item are appropriate. Music is all right in the game, not great I thought but still it wont have you pulling out your hair or anything. Also of mention is the nice cinematics that play through the game at certain events that show Jackson describing to his pals how he got them here and what he had to do.
Not really, much in terms of downsides to the game, there is the odd glitch that you may encounter here and there I ran into only 1 but itll probably happen, an annoyance for sure but its not too bad. You also only have 1 save game slot, which is disappointing for the gamers that like to have multiple ones, so that if they want to try a different strategy they can save and go back and such.
But overall No Action Jackson, is a very excellent adventure game that is really well done in many areas of the game, a very fun game that will keep you amused as you explore it, if youre an adventure fan you definitely have to check this one out.")
