*Snow Job - Overall, the sex and drugs and violence is the lightest of realistic patinas on this innovative adventure. Despite the 15 rating, it's difficult to see anyone who could master the interface being offended by the content.
*Johnny Bazookatone - Bazookatone is, in playability terms, painfully tone deaf and only the most hardened platform addicts will gain much joy from it.
*The Perfect General - Grim persistence makes the game somewhat easier and most scenarios are commendably brief - a sharp contrast to Panzer General's epic challenge - but it still remains solidly unenjoyable.
*Defcon 5 - Defcon 5 demands attention and experimentation few will be prepared to invest.
