Overview
Description

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.

The Nations is a real‑time strategy adventure where you choose one of three distinct races – the Pimmons, the Amazons, or the Sajikis – and guide them from humble beginnings to a thriving nation. Manage each individual’s habits and characteristics, expand your territory, discover new lands, and engage in strategic combat to dominate rivals.
