Overview
Description

Alexander is a real‑time strategy game that follows the storyline of the film and the historical conquests of Alexander the Great. It features authentic media from the movie and lets players command Greek, Persian, Indian, and Egyptian forces across distinct campaigns. The hybrid 2D/3D engine supports massive battles with hundreds of units, while multiplayer and skirmish modes add replayability. The soundtrack, composed by Vangelis, blends the film's music with in‑game ambience.

Police Quest: SWAT puts you in the shoes of a tactical police unit, demanding careful planning and precise execution. The game blends strategy, simulation, and action as you coordinate squads, manage equipment, and respond to high‑risk incidents. Released in 1995 for PC and Mac, the title offers a gritty, methodical experience that challenges players to think like real‑world law enforcement while navigating the limitations of 1990s graphics and interface design.
