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.

Warlords Battlecry III expands the classic Battlecry series with a deep RPG‑style hero system, allowing you to develop persistent heroes and a retinue of followers as you wage war across Etheria. The game blends real‑time strategy combat with role‑playing progression, offering massive battles, new races, and an upgradeable castle. Between battles you can trade items, earn titles, and customize your forces, all while enjoying the removal of hero and unit caps and new special abilities for high‑level heroes.
