Railroad Tycoon 3

Company / developer:
  Gathering of Developers

5 years after its predecessor, Railroad Tycoon 3 offers you the opportunity to build your own railroad empire, this time in full 3D. The most adventurous tycoons may even try to become wealthier than their competitors online. The game still revolves around the three key aspects that were featured in Railroad Tycoon II.

NASCAR Racing

Company / developer:
  Sierra Entertainment, Inc.

NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, or NR2003 for short, is a computer racing simulator. The programming was completed by September 3, 2002 and was waiting for its February 2003 Daytona 500 release date by Papyrus for PC. The game was the last to be released by the company before EA Sports bought the NASCAR license from NASCAR. The game included all of the 2003 NASCAR season tracks and many of the drivers. The game box featured the cars of Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick on the front cover.

The game features a popular multiplayer interface, used by up to 2500 drivers at any one time. This can result in fields of up to 43 human drivers driving simultaneously in online races. There are several online leagues still running, even with the release of countless other stock car sims. Although the Sierra online multiplayer aspect of the game has decreased this game is far from dead or even old. Many private companies have been started to fulfill the need for professional grade multiplayer servers and league management software for this game. In addition, downloading of new mods, updated cars, tracks and templates have allowed users to give the program a fresh look and keep up with real life racing.

NR2003 is also one of the few 'serious' racing simulations which have also been published for the Macintosh, in a Mac OS X version.

Warcraft 3

Company / developer:
  Blizzard Entertainment

Warcraft 3

It has been nearly fifteen years since the war between the orcs and humans ended. An uneasy peace settled over the land while, for years, the drums of war were silent. Yet the kingdoms of men grew complacent in their victory - and slowly, the defeated orcish clans regrouped under the banner of a new visionary leader.

Now a darker shadow has fallen over the world, threatening to extinguish all life - all hope. The drums of war play upon the winds once again - rising urgently towards the inevitable hour when the skies will rain fire - and the world will tremble before the coming of the Burning Legion.

Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you’ve ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

Half-Life 2

Company / developer:
  Valve

Half-Life 2

Half-Life 2 (HL2) is a science fiction first-person shooter computer game that is the sequel to Half-Life. It was developed by the Valve Software Corporation and was released on November 16, 2004, following a protracted five-year development cycle during which the game's source code was leaked to the Internet. The game garnered near unanimous positive reviews and received critical acclaim, winning over 35 Game of the Year awards for 2004. Originally available only for Windows-based personal computers, the game has since been ported onto the Xbox and Xbox 360 console, and is also due to be released for the PlayStation 3 in late 2007.

Taking place in and around the fictional City 17, Half-Life 2 follows the scientist Gordon Freeman. Dr. Freeman is thrust into a dystopian environment in which the aftermath of the Black Mesa Incident has come to bear fully upon human society. Freeman is forced to fight against increasingly unfavorable odds in order to survive. In his struggle, he is joined by various allies, including former Black Mesa colleagues, oppressed citizens of City 17, and the Vortigaunts.

The game uses the Source game engine, which includes a heavily modified version of the Havok physics engine. Half-Life 2 has been critically acclaimed for advances in computer animation, sound, narration, computer graphics, artificial intelligence (AI) and physics. As of June 8, 2006, over four million copies of Half-Life 2 have been sold. Exact numbers for digital delivery service Steam and retail have not been revealed, but in general, the former accounts for 25% of Valve's business and is significantly more profitable per unit. Overall, the Half-Life franchise, including Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat, has sold over 20 million units.

Visual Pinball

Visual Paintball

Complete freedom over table layout.  If you like, you can start with nothing but a blank table and build up your creation.  Or, start with a preset table or edit an existing table.

Curved surfaces.  Walls and ramps can have both straight sections and smooth flowing arcs, as simpy as dragging a few points around.

True 3D rendering.   Tables come alive with realistic shading and shadows.  Choose to view the table at any angle, at any resolution - a small window to play while multi-tasking or full-screen max-resolution for the complete pinball effect.

Shaped Lights. Flashing arrows, arcs, semi-circles; lights can be made into any shape you deisre, or choose a simple circle to quickly whip a concept up.

Complete freedom over rules.  The amazing VBScript based engine allows you to have any event create any effect!  Combine events to create complex tasks, and give your game a real plot.

All the pinball parts are here.  Plungers, flippers, kickers, bumpers, ramps, lights, text displays, gates, spinners, timers, triggers, decals, and drop targets are all at your disposal.  And any wall section can become a slingshot with the click of a checkbox!

Shape your objects any way you want.  A tall, thin bumper with a wide overhang?  A short, stubby flipper that spins all the way around?  Not a problem, just do it.

Add images to your board.  Add your own pictures to walls, floors, spinners, bumpers, and targets to give your game a distinctive personality.  Choose any color you want for other parts like flippers, lights and text displays.
