-Rating scale:
                 (0-19)/100 = In a nutshell, it sucked!
                (20-39)/100 = Still crap but slightly better.
                (40-49)/100 = Possibly worth downloading.
                (50-69)/100 = Pretty decent game. Might want to check it out.
                (70-79)/100 = Worth the download if you like that type.
                (80-89)/100 = Very good, 9 outta 10 its worth the download.
                (90-99)/100 = Excellent game, a MUST download.
                    100/100 = HOLY SHIT I'VE NEVER SEEN A BETTER GAME!

RATINGS are based on the game idea, graphics, sound, playability, ingenuity,
versatility, and a lot of other words ending in `ity'.  These games are based
on what happens on MY COMPUTER ONLY, unless stated otherwise.  I always first
follow nfo directions, and if those don't work or are not available, I then
try other ways.  So just b/c it doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't
work for you.

  Back to Baghdad (c) Military Sim. 23/23
This game was the biggest bitch ever to install, not because it was complic-
ated or anything, but because it took fucking forever.  First you unarj it,
and there's about 1000 small .bmp files which make the arj take like around
15 minutes, then you have to edit the .cfg and .bat files, and the bat files
have like a million lines referring to the dir.  Then you go to load the game
up, and it takes about 10 minutes for it to load the terrain and stuff.  And
after that it just continues to swirl my hd around in circles as it loads
and loads.  It just kept loading, I went and took a shower, a nap, dinner,
etc, while it was loading.  Then I came back to find it had stopped loading
but had locked up.  I was able to see the game <just not play it> from one
of the points of loading up.  My rating on this game is just a total guess
since I was not able to play it.  If you even plan to take a shot at this,
I'd HIGHLY suggest you have at least a pent/133, or you'll wait forever.

This is the "win32 version" 0o0o.  It's still the same fly the airplane thr-
ough the house, avoid some obstacles, and blah blah, as it was before.  You
just have to guide the airplane through the house and manuever it without
hitting any book shelves, other airplanes, bouncing balls, etc.  There are
air currents which keep your plane up <or down> and you need to fly from one
to the other.  Not too amusing, in fact quite boring.

Even if I had pictures I couldn't tell you what the fuck this is.  It's from

but it kept me with the same white screen.  No clue what the fuck this is.

Primus Interactive CD
[xx/20]
=====================
Ummm this one won't load without the cd.  Subst <as told to do> won't work,
and fakecd won't work.  It just doesn't work.  Also, I found this kinda weird
that there was an .html for a page in this release, and that it said this:
<A HREF="http://www.primussucks.com/">.  Now if you ask me, I wouldn't think
it's such great idea for you to put a link to something that says your game
sucks in the package with your game.  Also, a 50 something disk movie pack
was released for this nonworking game.

<Sung to the CAR 54 theme song>:
        There's a 41 disk release, but I'm missing a small piece.
        There's a beta just a waitin', for me to do the testin'.
        I downloaded 40 disks and realized there's one I missed....
        DISK 24 WHERE ARE YOU!?!?.
But then after searching far and wide, <actually it took about 2 mins> I was
able to find the missing disk 24.  After I spanked #24, I unzipped it and
well, here's the review:  This is the beta version of this MK like game.  The
previous release was just a playable preview.  This one still is a little
buggy, but Demolition released a patch to fix some things.  It's got a lot
of cool things, and the graphics are good.  But the movement of the characters
just has something about it that makes you just not like it.  Also you'll
need a pent/100+ to play this at a decent speed.  Pray for Death isn't going
to be the next great fighting game, but it might entertain a select few.
If you do make the effort to get it, might as well get the patch to, it lets
you play certain modes, and also let's you see the character's stats and
stuff, even though there is no animation of them.

REVOLUTiON X RELEASE -13th June 1996-
Ummm, it says "it can be played over ten", but it does not say it has to be
played over it.  Well that seems the only way to work this thing.  There is
no `non-modem' way of using it.  It only gives one .exe, and it tries to
connect to someplace and there is no way to edit what it connects to.

I tried to install it on to my sister's computer, but when I tried to run the
game, it bitched about my display driver not being win95 compatible.  Which
is pretty funny, since I'm in win95.  Just another way in which win95 is a
major piece of crap.

  CATFIGHT (c) Atlantean Interactive 20/20
Look out!  PMS at it's peak!  It's Mortal Kombat style fighting, but this
time, the woman outnumber the men 10-0.  It's a very good game, if you got
the power to back it up.  First off, don't even try to run it in win3.1,
unless you got a p/166 and a shitload of ram.  Because if you do, you'll be
playing it in a window about the size of your pinky nail.  Ok music and sound
effects, but much better graphics.  You have a nice choice of women with great
bods to show off <especially the bottom right one>.  There are 6 move you
have, each character with it's own moves.  It's worth getting if you have a
really fast computer, otherwise don't bother.  Perfect gift for father's day!

Hahah, this is funny.  It's pacman, but it's got like false teeth chomping
instead of pacman.  Not much else to say, we all know what the fuck pacman
is, and if you don't then you dont deserve to be alive.  Only difference is
your chased by cavity type things, and the boards are a little weirder and
harder.  This is SW, but I think it includes all the levels.

Here is the dos version of this acclaimed flight simulator. (It was acclaimed
as being a flight sim <G>).  Welp once again, another one of those sim games
with no docs, no key setup, and no way of getting the fucking plane off the
ground.  I slammed every key, I slammer every fucking possible combinations
of keys, and the fucking plane didn't move an inch.  Sure, I can view it from
fifty thousand angles, but I can't make it move!  Anyway, it looked like a
pretty basic and plain simulator.  The usual bland colors of line'ish gfx.
Not too great, some docs would be helpfull.

I think you can ONLY over net/modem, b/c the .exe for that works fine, but
the one just to play says it needs to be run in windows, yet the .nfo states
it's for dos.  Oh well, this really is just the same game w/ an addon for

 Hoyle Solitaire (c) Sierra Online    [7/7]
+------------------------------------------+
A collection of 28 different styles of solitaire, that all seem just like
the original!  A must have for all you soli-teers and people who like to do
things by themselves for long periods of time.  This win/win95 solitaire is
sure to bore you out of your mind really quickly!   The card flipping noise,
the only sound in the entire game I think, is quite annoying.  Anyway, if for
some reason you think you'd be cool to have 28 different solitaire games on
your computer then by all means get this.

Rebel Runner *FiNAL*        [o6/o6]

This is a terribly designed platform game.  Although they claim this is the
final, it still sucks bug wise.  The music/sfx play for like 5 seconds and
then it just dies.  The game is horrible, it's too easy to die, and it's just
really lame.  Don't bother with this one.  Oh, and it's not mentioned in the
nfo, but this needs to be installed to C: drive or it won't work.
