Millennia: Altered Destinies is a space strategy game designed by Ian Bird and published by Take-Two in 1995. Bird is the creator of Deuteros: The Next Millennium and Millennium: Return to Earth.
The plot of the game is brilliant. Your enemy is an evil alien race called Microids. To beat them you must travel back in time 10,000 years and - like a god - take care of 4 different races so that they grow, develop and become powerful civilizations. You will communicate with the four races (Reptoids, Slothoids, Entomons, and Piscines) using a "seed". You will need to guide them, protect them if necessary, and help them grow until they can eventually colonize other planets.

Pac-Mania is a new spin on the original Pac-Man game (and 10th in the franchise) and was developed and published by Namco in 1987 for arcades. In 1988 it was ported to multiple home platforms, including C64, MSX, Atari ST, and ZX Spectrum.
The Amiga version, created by Teque for Namco, is considered the best. For some users, even better than the arcade.
The basic premise remains intact; playing as Pac-Man, you run around a maze munching those dots while avoiding ghosts. Pac-Mania features levels that take place in four different environments with different layouts. Unlike the original, the maze is bigger than the screen, and the background scrolls, keeping our hero at the center of the view.
