While other animals stole crops from humans, they watched and learned to grow their own. They prospered for many years by planting vegetable patches in forest clearings.

Then, one autumn day, the impossible occurred. Anvils began to rain from the sky! Fearing for their lives, the rabbits fled from the fields, leaving the crops to languish. They cowered in their burrows, struggling to understand this cruel twist of fate.

Faced with starvation, Eastwarren’s greatest minds met to devise a strategy for surviving the relentless anvil storm. In collaboration with gopher engineers, they developed a set of highly advanced harvesting equipment. These tools, they explained, would in theory allow a very quick and brave rabbit to endure the anvil onslaught indefinitely.

Only one such rabbit volunteered.

Can one brave bunny feed the entire warren? Who is behind the anvil storm, and why? Join the intrepid Harvester of Eastwarren and find out!

The game consists of navigating Zep throughout a level to reach a certain location which allows him to advance to the next level. This is not such an easy task, however. Many obstacles will be in your path, and it is up to you to determine the best (and sometimes only way) to get around them. Zep has the ability to create special “blocks” by using the life energy from the ground he is standing on. By building the blocks in specific patterns, Zep can alter the landscape to his ability thus allowing him to reach his goal! Again, not everything is as it seems. Zep cannot build blocks while standing on top of just anything. There are many types of ground that restrict Zep’s building ability. In addition to being able to create these special blocks, Zep can also destroy them.

Zep is trapped in a Dream Land where almost anything goes! As much as he wants to wake up, he cannot; unless he travels completely through it, visiting each different section he dreams up. In his dreams, Zep has very special abilities which allow him to create blocks which will help him along through his dreampt-up world. What kind of special places does Zep hold dear? Traveling deeper and deeper into Zep’s Dreamland reveals more and more obstacles as his imagination runs wild!

The king could spare only one wizard for a reckless mission to reclaim the lost orbs. That would be you.

As Kid Mystic, you’ll need to travel across the land in pursuit of Bobby Khan, collecting all the orbs he, for some reason, dropped all over the place. Along the way, you’ll encounter mind-bending puzzles, enraged mushrooms, creepy eyeball monsters, and more. Fight monsters, acquire helpful footwear, collect hidden Spellbooks, and chase down Fairies. And if you do beat Bobby, things will only get more crazy after that with two tougher game modes!

Before there was Doom, Ultima, Rogue, or even Zork, there was… Adventure.

There were other text computer games before Adventure, such as STARTREK and WUMPUS, but this was the first of its kind; the first text “interactive fiction” game. It may seem outdated and quaint by today’s standards, sort of like seeing the Wright brothers’ original flyer parked next to a Boeing 747, but many of us remember it fondly.

It took us 2 years to complete it and we hope you like it!

Head Over Heels was released, um, a while ago. Around about 1987 if I recall correctly, and it was immediately praised in the press as being quite the bestest thing ever. Not only was it a huge game for its time, it also had great graphics and was very addictive – if somewhat punishing in its difficulty level. The variety in the locations was amazing and the challenges brilliantly designed. Quite rightly it was awarded with pretty much every accolade that could be bestowed upon it by the various magazines. Even today it still stands as a brilliantly designed title and has never really been bettered in the isometric adventure genre.

With dire warnings from strange quarters and dark schemes afoot, Harry’s second adventure will be every bit as magical and dangerous as his first. But this time the spells are more potent, the foes are more fearsome, and Harry’s friends are more important than ever.

Features include:

  • Go deeper into Harry’s world… explore rich environments from the Great Hall to the dark reaches of the Forbidden Forest
  • Take the flying car to Hogwarts and master new second-year spells, including Skurge, Diffindo, and Spongify
  • Overcome dangerous foes from Aragog to the deadly Basilisk
  • Test your skills in Quidditch and Wizard Duel leagues
  • Interact with new characters from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, including Dobby, Lockhart, and Ginny Weasley

What’s New:
Version 1.0.1b1 fixes the following:

  • Doors that were supposed to be locked are now properly locked (ie. Going into challenge doors before the challenge).
  • Loss of video does not occur after Skurge challenge.
  • The door to get the Bicorn horn in the dungeon works properly now.
