Overview
Description

Anomaly 2 expands the tower‑offense formula of its predecessor with a richer single‑player campaign and a groundbreaking multiplayer mode that pits tower‑defense against tower‑offense. Set in a post‑invasion Earth, you command the Yukon convoy, planning routes, deploying troops, and supporting them in real‑time combat against relentless machine forces.

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.
