Sensible Soccer is the first game of the popular series of football sim created by Sensible Software and published by Renegade.
With this package, we are publishing the first and original release of SensiSoccer, not the v1.1 issued sometime later - also called Sensible Soccer: European Champions - 92/93 Edition.
This revolutionary game, a real milestone in the history of sports videogames, was released in 1992 for Amiga and Atari ST. Until then, Kick Off 2 was THE choice when you wanted to play football with your friends on your computer. But Sensible Soccer changed everything, creating two factions: the ones that still preferred Dino Dini's sim, and the ones that migrated to the new game created by Sensible Software.

Cadaver is an isometric arcade adventure created by The Bitmap Brothers and published by Image Works in 1990 for the Amiga and Atari ST.
After the success of Xenon 2: Megablast and Speedball, the British Software house decided to try a different genre - action-adventure, but with several puzzle elements - and a different setting - fantasy. The result is an excellent game, with beautiful isometric graphics, a well designed, not linear, gameplay and, for all ZX Spectrum fans, a striking similarity with the ZX Spectrum hit Knight Lore. The game was not a commercial success but received extremely positive reviews. It won the Golden Chalice in 1990 as Adventure Game of the Year.

Halo: Combat Evolved is a sci-fi first-person shooter created by Bungie Studios for Microsoft and released for the Xbox in 2001. GearBox later ported it to Windows and Macintosh in 2003.
We usually publish games at least 20 years old, but this time, we made an exception. After so many requests, since the game is currently not available on GOG or Steam, we decided to make this gift for all the fans of GamesNostalgia. You can now play Halo, one of the best games ever created. The game made the Xbox a success.
The Windows version includes Patch 1.0.10; it supports modern video cards and all kinds of screen resolutions. It works on Windows 7/10, and GameSpy support is removed (since it's no longer active). Just run the setup and install the game. That's it.

Albion is a science fiction RPG that was developed and published by Blue Byte in 1995 for DOS.
Interestingly, the team that created the games Amberstar and Ambermoon created this game in a move from Thalion to Blue Byte. It is somewhat intended to be a sequel of sorts to the Amber games.
The titular Albion is a newly discovered planet. You are part of a government force that wants to explore this new world and deplete all of its resources, as we humans like to do. Taking control of a pilot named Tom, your task is scouting out the planet and figuring out what the atmosphere is like. During this routine run, your ship malfunctions and you crash land on the planet. Waking up you find that things are not as they were made out to be. Like any RPG Tom can create a party (of up to 6) to explore with. Combat is turn-based and allows you and your party to gain XP to level up. Experience can also be obtained by solving puzzles throughout the world. Like Ambermoon, Albion uses a top-down view for the exploration of the world, and a 3D view inside the dungeons. The game’s storyline is somewhat linear but still allows for extensive exploration and interesting character interactions. While the story itself is based around Tom’s need to tell his comrades not to plunder Albion, you will have plenty of gameplay time to get there.

Second Samurai is a beat-'em-up for two players developed by Vivid Image and published by Psygnosis in 1993 for the Amiga. There was also an AGA version released in 1994.
It's the sequel to The First Samurai, released two years before. The game was programmed and co-designed by Raffaele Cecco (also known for Cybernoid: The Fighting Machine and Deliverance: Stormlord II). Cecco started developing on the XZ Spectrum, but he delivered two of the most exciting and enjoyable hack 'n slash platformers ever created for the Amiga with the Samurai series.

Ishar 3: The Seven Gates of Infinity is the last installment in the Ishar RPG series, and it was developed and published by Silmarils. It was released in 1994 for Amiga, Atari ST, and DOS.
Seven Gates plays like a first-person RPG like the others in the series. The plot follows the events of Ishar 2. You play as Zubaran, and after bringing peace to your land, you must set out on another quest. This time, the goal is simple: slay a dragon.
At the beginning of the game, you can either start fresh and recruit new allies or import your favorite characters from another series. Once Zubaran is prepared, he and his companions have to travel through temporal gates to locate the dragon before an evil sorcerer can.
