Game modes:Single player, Co-operative, Multiplayer
Story:HyperBlade introduces the 3D battlesport of the future. Players engage in a futuristic street-hockey style game played out on the interior of an elongated ellipsoid arena. Body-checks (weapons are included) go for blood in this game as players can be gruesomely eliminated from the game, including the option to score with an opponent's dismembered head. Power-ups, speed boosts, ramps, and simple team management (for substitutions) are all part of the experience. Some strategy is required for play, but it's mostly pure action.
The game also features multiple skill levels, 12 teams (from a US tournament league), and head-to-head network play (IPX and TCP LAN only).

In the future of chunky low poly sports, you can whack the head off someone on the other team (after doing a sick, pointless jump off a tiny ramp) and then use it to score a goal. Nobody cares. It's close enough to the ball I guess.
HyperBlade controls like a lawn mower trying to plow through a big bag of spoiled ham while falling down the stairs, but man is it good fun. Goofy power-ups, death traps all over the arena - this is combat sports at its not-quite-best.
I used to play this for hours on my parents old CRT. It ran SO SLOWLY on our early pentium but I sat through framerates you could time with a calendar because I loved this game so much. It was a silly game I think we got for free from Egghead (old store). I would love to see this gem revived.
A notoriously hard game to get running these days, Hyperblade is a violent and gory mix of jai alai and ice hockey with excellent stadium effects and a pumping soundtrack.

ParaWorldThe game-concept is similar to "Age of Empires", which is a real-time strategy game. ParaWorld features food, wood, and stone as resources. Food can be picked from bushes, hunted from animals, fished from the sea, or farmed. Stone is located in limited deposits, and wood, cut from trees, is generally scattered throughout a map. Battles can occur on both land and sea.
The story takes place in a parallel dimension, where prehistoric life thrives alongside diverse human civilizations that are not technologically advanced. As a result, dinosaurs take the place of traditional wildlife and livestock, though some of the dinosaurs in-game are highly stylized and not necessarily scientifically accurate. Wild-living dinosaurs can be hunted for food, though some are of dangerous and aggressive species and will attack any player unit that wanders too close. Other prehistoric creatures make an appearance as well, for example woolly mammoths are used where other games might feature elephants.

Rally TrophyIn the game, the player is taken through 42 highly detailed stages in five countries - Russia, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and Kenya - which cover several road surfaces including gravel, mud and tarmac. Stages take place in all weather conditions such as rain in both the day and night. Damage is accurately re-created, even down to broken headlights which the player must of course preserve to see during night stages. Rally Trophy was considered by many people to be the Grand Prix Legends of rally driving, due to its focus on historic cars, and the physics models of the cars (with no traction control or driver aids) being relatively realistic and challenging for its time.Historical Non-fiction
