"Go go go! Smash the corporation!" What can be said about this game? Well, it's all violence and destruction and it sure is fun to beat people with severed heads and blow up buildings after a rough day at the office. If there's a better domestic terrorist riot simulator, I've never played it. A classic. One of the more underrated Rockstar titles. Libra and Spanky rule!
State of Emergency I remembered having a long time ago. Back when I liked Rockstar games. This was the closest game to Grand Theft Auto series they had at the time. Which predates Bully by a few years. It's sorta arcade style, smaller GTA inspired game. You get a few characters to play as. It heavily plays off Anarchy as a selling point. This is one of their forgotten gems from that era. The game constantly giving you objectives to keep things somewhat interesting.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica
Resident Evil Code: VeronicaResident Evil Code: Veronica is the fourth video game in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series. The game continues the survival horror gameplay of its predecessors: the protagonist explores the surroundings, fighting monsters and solving puzzles. However, it is the first game in the series to do away with pre-rendered backgrounds using a fully polygonal 3D engine instead, which allows for features such as real-time lighting and camera movement. Still, such movements are only used sparingly, and the use of perspective is mostly unchanged from earlier installments: the camera automatically switches to different static angles showing protagonists, monsters and rooms from different spooky viewpoints.

Monty Python's Invasion from the Planet Skyron
Monty Python's Invasion from the Planet SkyronInvasion from planet Skyron is an interactive varietyshow, based on the works of the Monty Python team. It looks and feels like a game, but will be experienced as something completely different. Each time the program is started, viewers will see scenes in a different order and sometimes even completely new ones. By clicking the player/viewer directs the clan through the different worlds, based on the animations of Terry Gilliam. Clicking on objects or bringing the clan to certain locations trigger several kinds of events. Many encounters take place and each one requires a different reaction. But life in this Python world changes over time as well. As many as 13 different games are hidden in this world of Python, mostly based on specific sketches that still influence our perception of humour and the use of language. Players can earn points, which enables them to view sketches and clips in the cinema. This can be entered by clicking on the score sheep. But also during the exploration of the different scenes videoclips from the television series can be seen and every now and then the program is being interrupted for an intermission, among which a number of commercial ones. If players decide to leave the game they are enabled to visit the scenes they have gone through again. This way players can experience favourite scenes once more.
