We should have released it a bit earlier, but this game is a real gem: a 2016 version of Sensible World of Soccer.
Yes, that's right. You can play Sensible World of Soccer (the classic, original game) with the new data of teams, players, leagues, and national teams updated to 2016-2017. This means Juventus with Higuain and Dibala, Chelsea with Hazard and Willian, Bayern München with Robben and Ribéry, Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona with Messi, and so on. More than 40 leagues are included, plus the national teams. It's an impressive and very accurate work that was made by the passionate SWOS fans at www.sensiblesoccer.de for the 20th anniversary of this amazing game. You have to try it!

Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire is the second chapter of the fantasy adventure/RPG series created by Corey and Lori Ann Cole for Sierra On-Line. Trial by Fire was developed and published in 1990 for DOS and Amiga.
The game has a mixture of RPG and adventure gameplay and is the last of the series to use a command-based interface. The RPG elements show when it comes to character development during gameplay. They are also in real-time combat that is more complex than in the previous game, Quest for Glory I: So You Want To Be A Hero. The adventure elements are primarily in the exploration, completion of quests, and puzzle-solving sections of gameplay.

Pinball Mania is an arcade pinball game developed by Spidersoft Limited and published by 21st Century Entertainment in 1995 for DOS and Amiga.
This game is sort of a tie-in with the three previous pinball games done by Digital Illusions for 21st Century, Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies, and Pinball Illusions.
Much like the previous three games, there are four tables to play on. Each table has it’s own theme, and they are Jail Break, Kick-Off, Jackpot, and Tarantula (they are Spidersoft, after all). Each table plays in the traditional arcade pinball way, with flippers, flashy lights, and things to bounce off to rack up those points using single ball playing action. Reviews on this title were very mixed, but any pinball fan will want to go for that high score!

Superfrog is a platformer developed by Team 17 for the Amiga and released in 1993. One year later, the game was ported to MS-DOS.
With a lot of colors and nice animations, the game is totally violence-free. There is no weapon; you can only jump on the enemies and use your speed. You will have to travel across 6 colourful worlds, each one with 4 stages, to rescue the princess.
You can easily say that Superfrog represents the state of the art for platformers. The game is not known for its novelty, but on the other side is simply technically perfect. With amazing graphics, a fantastic intro animation drawn by the artist Eric W. Schwartz, a soundtrack composed by Allister Brimble, a difficulty level perfectly tuned, and excellent gameplay, Superfrog hasn't aged a day. All Amiga users still remember it, and for a good reason.

Commando is a 2D action-shooter arcade game developed by Capcom in 1985. It was ported first to the BBC Micro and ZX Spectrum. After its release, it was ported to multiple platforms, including the Commodore 64, Apple II, Atari ST, MSX, and more. The Amiga version presented here was published in 1989.
This old-school run-n’-gun is all about nonstop action from start to finish. You play as a nameless soldier who is dropped off in enemy territory on what I am assuming is a directive to kill everyone. As you shoot your way through the levels, you will also have opportunities to save a couple of POWs by taking out their captors. Not every enemy is in plain sight, so you will have to search them out before you can pump them full of lead. It is possible to find an upgrade that lets you see all hidden bunkers. You will also use grenades to destroy obstacles and clusters of enemies, and you can find an upgrade to make them unlimited.

This sequel resembles the original Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny, combining first-person and isometric views set in mock 3D environments. It also features multiple options for combat and detailed character creation. Building your party of 6 from the ground up can take some time. You can choose their skills and tailor them for different jobs. Those who don’t quite have the hang of RPG character creation can have the computer generate your party for you.
