Future Wars is an early adventure from Delphine my friend and I used to play together back on the Amiga. Maybe not the best game but the pixelhunting was real fun.
this is the only game that i never had experienced it. also, in any platforms i visited, it never got re-released. especially since that game was done by the same team who did heart of darkness.

This is a top 10 all time game for me. The story is great top 3 all time the gameplay is actually diversified and it's close to a perfect game for me. I played it on Amiga500 and it was the first game where the story as a main focus was enganging by itself. The first time i realized how good and emersive a game can even be. I always hoped this game would be rereleased or even remade you could make an great adventure with this story combining many different gamplay styles (shooter, puzzle, jump and run, point and click).

Ratchet & Clank
Ratchet & ClankRatchet & Clank is a platform/adventure game in a similar vein to the 3D versions of the Rayman, Sonic, Mario, or other games. It involves the two protagonists Ratchet, a furry alien creature, and Clank, a nerdy little robot, going on a quest to find Captain Qwark and ultimately to help save the galaxy. Ratchet & Clank includes many of the best features of previous similar games, but makes itself unique in a number of ways. Firstly each of the game's levels are huge sweeping vistas with extremely detailed buildings which are visible at all times (i.e. there is no distance fog). This means that a building on the horizon is not just a "backdrop"; in all likelihood Ratchet will be exploring it in a few moments time. Secondly, the game includes a number of sub-games, such as a space fight sequence and a number of turret shoot-outs which are akin to Missile Command in the first person. The game has over twenty levels (planets) and includes as many real-time cut-scenes which tell the story. Also of note is that the story is non-linear, requiring the player to return to previous levels to complete objectives and to choose between multiple paths forward. There is also a respectable array of weapons, gadgets, and accessories to find or buy as the game progresses, which offer some unique gameplay features.

Final Fantasy VIII Remastered
Final Fantasy VIII RemasteredA remaster of the beloved PS1 classic coming in 2019! It is a time of war. Galbadia, a Global Superpower, has declared war on Dollet, a country whose training academy is home to two personalities: the hot-headed Seifer and the 'lone wolf', Squall Leonhart. Both are equally at conflict with each other as their country is with Galbadia; to others, Squall appears lacking in team spirit, while Seifer lacks the discipline of his rival. However, a chance encounter with the free-spirited Rinoa Heartilly turns Squall's universe upside down; having thrived on discipline, Squall find the carefree Rinoa fascinating. He also begins to dream that he is Laguna Loire, a Galbadian army soldier.
