We had this game growing up and I remember spending many sessions trying to figure it out. The puzzles were decent (and especially notably, many of them have multiple different methods of solving them), but difficult for youngsters to figure it out. Still, the charming presentation, quirkiness of Albert himself, and "global voyage" feel of the game made it a memorable experience and one that we'd reference even as we grew older. Revisiting it as a young adult, I thought it held up great; the charm really comes through now and there's no other games quite like this series. Thankfully, I still have our old CD (and two more that I got of the other Uncle Albert games); unfortunately, it doesn't run on modern machines and so I have to rely on an old Windows XP I keep around in order to play it again. Rereleasing it for modern platforms so that a whole new generation can experience it is a fate that this game absolutely deserves.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.

Crime Patrol
Crime PatrolCrime Patrol puts the player in the shoes of a police officer, who starts as a Rookie and has to work his way up to become a member of SWAT and eventually the Delta Force team. To do that, he has to complete missions, which involve taking down criminals in a variety of locations. Beginning with smaller-scale criminals (such as shoplifters), the hero will later have to face gangsters, drug lords, and eventually terrorists. For each set of missions, the player characters is being teamed up with another police officer. The gameplay is quite similar to any other of the large live-action laser-gun games found in the arcades - all the player has to do is take the gun (or the mouse in the computer version) and show those criminals who's the boss!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos: Joey the Passion
Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos: Joey the PassionThe third Yu-Gi-Oh! game for PC. It is also the final game of the Power of Chaos game series. The game includes 771 cards. This game is featuring Joey Wheeler as the opponent, adds new cards, new dueling choices, new dueling options and more Decks for the opponent, making this the Power of Chaos game with the most content. The cards from the previous two Power of Chaos games, if installed, are included. New game features include a ranked difficulty for the computer opponent, denoted by a star gauge in the Duel menu, which ranks from 1 star to 9. As you win duels, the difficulty increases, and the opponent swaps his Deck for a more potent one every time this happens. Later difficulty levels (8-9) allow the opponent to use different Decks in that same level. Losing consecutive duels results in decreased difficulty for the first time in Power of Chaos games. Other options include allowing the opponent to use cards from the previous two games, increasing the difficulty. Also, the option to make many Limited cards Forbidden is given, making the game more balanced. One other new addition to the game is that when you win cards that you already have, you may have a choice of getting different cards, or keep the ones you've earned. This can only be done when every card you win in a match or one card in a single duel is a common card, not new. Last, you can also duel a friend via LAN or via Gameranger.
