  • Space Quest II

    Brand:Microsoft
    Sold By: Retro8BITShop

    Just when you thought it was safe to go back into space, He’s Back! And he wants revenge! Sludge Vohaul, the demented evil scientist (whose sinister plan you unknowingly foiled in our last episode), is seething over his Sarien slip-up. Madder than a drenched Astrochicken, (and still determined to rule the galaxy) Vohaul has devised a new plan. A nasty plan. A plan so evil that only one as wickedly sadistic as he could imagine it. Yes, the worst nightmare ever is about to come knocking on your door- and it won’t take No for an answer!

    It’s The Invasion of the Insurance Salesmen! Hordes and hordes of pushy, obnoxious (genetically engineered) salesmen will soon be dumped upon your home planet- unless somebody dumps on Vohaul first. And who knows more about getting dumped on than you?

    Roger Wilco to the rescue! Once again, you, Roger Wilco, sanitation engineer and involuntary hero, must don your sanitary space mittens and prepare for the onslaught of evil that Vohaul has prepared. A chore not for queasy or fainthearted. And if you can stomach that…Get ready for the Granddaddy of Gross. The Emperor of Evil. The first name is Nastiness, Sludge Vohaul himself! With nothing to protect you but your wits and your wet mop, you haven’t got a chance! (But that’s what makes the game so much fun!)

    Have fun staying out of trouble! Beat the odds. Conquer insurmountable obstacles. Defy gravity. Cry for help. Misfortune awaits you at every turn… Boggle your way through the humid stenchlands of the jungle planet Labion. Blunder your way onto the asteroid fortress of the slime-sucking Vohaul. Flounder your way through more perilous escapades than you can wiggle a space worm at.

    Guaranteed to make you laugh! Packed with comedy, tragedy, suspense, horror, and many other nouns, Space Quest II will tickle your funny bone and relieve that heavy feeling in your wallet.

  • Conquest 6-Pack

    Sold By: Retro8BITShop

    The Conquest 6-Pack from Auran once again combines six classic strategy and real-time strategy games into one powerful combination that includes six full games. Gamers can visit a plethora of different worlds, from the far flung reaches of cosmos in O.R.B. II – Off World Resource Base in a battle between two powerful alient races or the war torn cities of Jagged Alliance 2 that pits players against players in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Whether it’s the lands of Europe and the New World in Europa Universalis II that has the player in a made race of conquest and discovery or the battles of Julius Caesar in Celtic Kings, this entertaining six pack guarantees gamers almost a year of endless gameplay.

     

    Although some of these appear a little dated, the majority of titles still hold up quite well to games of similar genre and were the true precursors to modern strategies games. Once again, Auran have priced this magnificent boxed set at $29.95 that can be purchased online at www.auran.com or at your preferred software retailer.

     

    Interestingly enough, there is only one game in this set that is based in the future that has the gamer collecting resources and battling their alien opponent in a battle for conquest. Celtic Kings and Legion are your more standard real-time strategy games that is similar to games such as Warcraft or Age of Empires.

     

    Whereas Patrician and Europa Universalis II are your more intense strategy games that is more about micro and macro-management of your universe as opposed to Jagged Alliance which is more your strategic game that is in the same vein as Commandos that has the player controlling a squad of elite militants.

  • Sam & Max Season One

    Brand:Microsoft
    Sold By: Retro8BITShop

    GAME POSTER INCLUDED

     

    In 2004, a sequel to the LucasArts adventure game Sam & Max Hit the Road was cancelled mid-development. Several people who worked on that game left LucasArts to form Telltale Games with the revolutionary idea of releasing games episodically, like a TV show.

    When the Sam & Max game rights reverted to series creator Steve Purcell in 2005, he licensed the characters to Telltale. The young studio put the concept of episodic gaming to the test with Sam & Max Season One, six episodes that released approximately once a month between October 2006 and April 2007.

    Back then, digital distribution was in its infancy. Initially the episodes were only available for streaming on GameTap (a “Netflix for games” type service owned by Turner Broadcasting) and for purchase from Telltale’s website. (They later came to Steam in June 2007.) Graphics and audio were highly compressed to keep download sizes low, and the games were designed to work on low-end computers to appeal to a mainstream audience.

    In 2018, when Telltale went through liquidation, four of the studio’s original employees formed Skunkape Games and acquired the rights to Telltale’s Sam & Max games. We’re in the process of remastering all three seasons, starting with Sam & Max Save the World (a.k.a. Season One), but we didn’t want the originals to be lost to time. That’s why we’ve released all six of the old-school Season One episodes as free DLC. Want to know what playing these games was like in 2006/2007? Now you can!

    Due to insurmountable technical hurdles, these versions will not be updated and we can’t provide tech support. (Difficulty fixing bugs in the old game engine is a main reason we remastered Sam & Max Save the World in the first place!) We’re making them available for historical preservation purposes only.

    Bonus Features
    When these episodes first came out, people were very concerned about buying downloadable games without backup copies. To soften the blow, Telltale released a Sam & Max Season One DVD at the end of the episodic run, complete with bonus features. We have uploaded most of these to our YouTube channel: bloopers, developer commentary, and more! You can also access them by clicking the “Bonus Features” button in the DLC launcher.

  • Return to Krondor

    Brand:Microsoft
    Sold By: Retro8BITShop

    The story revolves around the disappearance of the Ishapian Church’s most sacred relic, the Tear of the Gods. A band of ruthless pirates – in the employ of Sidi, a shadowy, half-mad sorcerer – attempt to seize the Tear from the Ishapian treasure ship; but in the process, they sink the ship accidentally, sending the Tear to the bottom of the Bitter Sea.

    Your efforts to recover the Tear inadvertently draw you and your group into a violent, three-sided battle over the relic. Your quest leads you from the dizzying heights of Krondor’s Palace, through the twisting tunnels of the sewers beneath the city, and into the haunted depths of a temple dedicated to an evil as ancient as the gods themselves.

  • Zak mcKracken and the Alien Mindbenders XXL Edition

    Brand:Commodore
    Sold By: Retro8BITShop

    Zak McKracken is a tabloid reporter (and not a very good one at that). After having a psychedelic dream one day, Zak realizes that something is wrong — space aliens are dumbifying the general public through the telephone system. Zak must stop this, but he can’t do it alone. After finding a strange crystal, Zak manages to get the help of the anthropologist Annie and her friends, Melissa and Leslie. The four unlikely heroes must now figure out a way to destroy the dumbifying devices and save the Earth.

    Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders is a third-person puzzle-solving adventure similar in gameplay to Lucasfilm’s breakthrough title Maniac Mansion. The player chooses verb commands (Open, Pick Up, Give, etc.; there are no Look or Talk commands) to interact with the game world. The game features up to four controllable protagonists; it is possible to switch between them at any time after they have been introduced, and also exchange inventory items if the characters are in the same location. The game can be described as a “globe-trotting” adventure, since the heroes are required to travel to different exotic countries and even leave the Earth for a while in order to complete it. Some of the puzzles are optional or can be solved in different ways.

    The FM Towns version has VGA graphics with 256 colors and higher-quality music and sound effects.

Foil your opponent by setting creative booby traps in the various rooms (a bomb in a dresser drawer, for instance). Traps can be disarmed with objects found in rooms (a water bucket from a firebox on the wall will disarm the bomb in the prior example).
