It featured a first-person perspective, and involved running away from enemies rather than fighting them.

However, the train is attacked by a monster, who kills everyone on board except for the player and a young girl, Naomi. From here on out, the game is pretty much a non-stop chase as the monster pursues the player deeper and deeper into the underground.

			'desc' => '<h2>Overview</h2><p>Alundra is a fantasy action adventure with hand-drawn 2D art that blends traditional action adventure elements with more streamlined exploration mechanics akin to those in the Legend of Zelda franchise. Developed by Matrix Software and originally published by SCEI in Japan, It was later released by Working Designs in the US and Psygnosis in Europe. In 2010, the Working Designs version was re-released on the Playstation Network by Monkeypaw Games.</p><p>Known as "The Adventures of Alundra" in Europe, the game is viewed from a top-down perspective where the player takes control of a young boy named Alundra who realizes not long into the story that he has the ability to enter people's dreams and reveal their inner demons. The game is a real-time action adventure where enemies can be engaged where they stand with quick weapon strikes and puzzles must be solved using intelligence, skill and agility as the player attempts to navigate the game's numerous settings and landscapes to further the storyline. These action elements are blended with more traditional RPG components such as strengthening Alundra's attributes over time and collecting an array of skills, weapons, armor, and useful items.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Alundra's gameplay is very much in the same vein as the early Zelda games, a top-down 2D world in which the player can move up, down, forwards and backwards. Alundra will encounter enemies in real-time in the environments, and can attack them on the spot using a variety of weapons including swords, flails, bows and wands. The player will acquire these weapons as they progress through the main story, which is both a lengthy campaign and challenging. Alundra has plentiful puzzles, some of which will require the player to pull off some quick moves, and platforming style challenges. Other puzzles require much more thought and attention. The game is well noted for having some extremely difficult puzzles which will challenge even veterans of similar games.</p><h2>Soundtrack</h2><p>Alundra's soundtrack consists of one CD and includes 26 songs in all. Some songs from the game were not included in the game due to them being the same song, but using different instruments. The soundtrack was composed by Kohei Tanaka</p><ol><li>Alundra</li><li>The Village of Inoa</li><li>The Wind That Shook the Earth</li><li>The House of Taran</li><li>Nightmare</li><li>Requiem</li><li>Dungeon</li><li>Murgg Village</li><li>Ra's Underground Hideout</li><li>Desert</li><li>Dream a Dream</li><li>Kline's Dream</li><li>The Lizardman's Liar</li><li>The Use of Meia</li><li>Nirude, the Forgotten God</li><li>Miming, the Insignificant Leader</li><li>Underwater</li><li>The Fire Mountain Torra</li><li>The Child's Dream</li><li>Ronin, the Priest Gone Astray</li><li>The Shrine of the Lake</li><li>The Black Angel Come Forth</li><li>The One Who Hates Man</li><li>The Wrath of God</li><li>Melzas, the Combined God</li><li>Reflecting</li><li>Ending</li><li>Tears (Staff Roll)</li></ol>',

Though it was conceived and partially developed by 3D Realms, prior to its completion the game and all rights were sold to Monolith as detailed in a press release on January 22, 1997. This was ostensibly meant to allow 3D Realms the ability to focus on Shadow Warrior, which was being developed concurrently. Monolith completed the game as well as an expansion pack entitled Blood Plasma Pak, which were both released in 1997 (a second expansion, Cryptic Passage for Blood, was developed by Sunstorm Interactive).</p><p style="">The version of the Build engine used for Blood included a number of upgrades, most prominent being the ability to display voxel-based objects. This feature was used significantly throughout the game in place of flat sprites, highlighting both weapon and item pickups as well as certain environmental objects such as tombstones, chairs, and barrels. Unlike other contemporary Build engine titles, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Blood's source code was never publicly released, thus no source ports exist for it, and it must still be played through its original DOS executable.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1690990-bloodscreen.png" data-ref-id="1300-1690990" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <figcaption>Flying body parts are a common sight in Blood.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The gameplay of Blood is very similar to that of other FPS games of its era such as Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. The player is presented with four episodes, which can be played in any order. Each one consists of eight or nine levels (with one secret level per episode) that the player must fight through, with the last level invariably containing that episode's boss. In addition to combat with various types of enemies, most levels require the use of switches and up to six keys in order to advance to the exit. As was the hallmark of its predecessor, Duke Nukem 3D, levels in Blood often place a high emphasis on interactivity, incorporating numerous destructible elements and various objects that can be interacted with for no reason other than increasing the player's immersion.</p><p style="">True to its name, a significant effort was made to amp up the blood and violence over other Build engine games. Zombies can be decapitated and their heads kicked like soccer balls, various enemies can be set on fire to run screaming throughout the levels, and blood flows copiously from enemies at even the simplest of attacks. The game's health system was also relatively novel. Caleb relies for the most part on Life Essence to heal himself, which is dropped by enemies upon death, rather than on preset health pickups used in most first-person shooters at the time. Another innovative aspect of the game was its weapons. Blood boasts alternate firing modes for a large portion of the game's arsenal (a fairly uncommon feature in 1997), ranging from rather straightforward options like firing both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun to more outlandish ones such as lighting and throwing an aerosol can.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1688925-calebbloodshower.png" data-ref-id="1300-1688925" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>He may be the lead, but Caleb's no white hat.</figcaption></figure><p style="">Blood puts players in the shoes of Caleb, a protagonist much in the same tongue-in-cheek vein as Duke Nukem and Lo Wang. While the Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior franchises focused on satirizing action and martial arts movies respectively, Blood traffics in the tropes and mores of the horror genre. The referential humor of the game draws from many sources, from horror classics like <i>The Shining</i> and <i>Friday the 13th</i>, cult films like <i>Army of Darkness</i>, to non-horror classics such as <i>Jaws</i>. Caleb is the game's anti-hero, a sadist and former cultist on a quest for revenge after being killed by Tchernobog, the evil god he once worshiped. In keeping with the game's darker leanings, Caleb is not portrayed as a particularly empathetic character. He will often laugh gleefully in the midst of slaughtering his foes, and will even willfully kills innocents.</p><p style="">As the game begins, Tchernobog has called his Chosen, Caleb, Ophelia, Ishmael, and Gabriel, to a gathering in the Hall of the Epiphany. When they ask what he desires, they are surprised to find he is displeased with them, and they are quickly set upon by Tchernobog's minions. Ishmael is cremated by Cerberus, Gabriel is carried off by Shial who descends from the ceiling, and Ophelia, Caleb's love, is abducted by Cheogh. Finally, Caleb himself is killed personally by Tchernobog, and buried thereafter.</p><p style="">At the start of the game's first level, "Cradle to Grave," Caleb awakens in his own tomb. Upon returning to life by unknown means, Caleb exclaims "I live... again!"

The first group is composed of smaller foes that pose more of an annoyance than a true threat, and can generally be defeated with little firepower.

The last group is comprised of exceedingly rare monsters that are found at the end of each episode.</p><h3><u>Low-Level Enemies</u></h3><table><tbody><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813034-transparentbat.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813034" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.84210526315789" data-width="38" style="width: 38px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Bat</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Bat</h3> Bats only loosely qualify as enemies, as they don't actively seem to be interested in harming the player, and it is only really possible to be injured by one by wandering into its path.

Equipped with a simple axe melee attack and relatively low hit points, they run headlong at the player attempting to hack them to pieces.

The brown-cloaked Cultists have shotguns, while the gray-garbed Fanatics carry tommy guns. Both wield dynamite, and either can cause significant damage any time they have line-of-sight with the player. They will also occasionally go prone in order to avoid return fire.

Both add-ons augmented the original game with an entirely new episode (bringing the total to six), with Plasma Pak also having other notable additions such as new enemies and new firing modes for existing weapons. Having the Plasma Pak installed also allows these new firing modes to be used in Blood's original episodes.</p><h2>Minimum System Requirements</h2><h3>PC</h3><ul><li>Windows XP / Vista</li><li>1 GHz processor (1.4 GHz recommended)</li><li>256MB RAM (512MB recommended)</li><li>3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended)</li><li>Mouse</li><li>Keyboard</li></ul>',

Created by author and Sierra writer/designer Jane Jensen, Sins Of The Fathers was the first instalment in a new franchise for Sierra in the mid-90s, and marked a more mature turn for the company previously known for the King's Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest series. Far removed from the fairy tale universe of King's Quest and the zany craziness of Space Quest, Gabriel Knight followed an anti-hero plagued by disturbing nightmares through a murder mystery linked to voodoo and his own family's dark, mystical past.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/479074-sierra_008.png" data-ref-id="1300-479074" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="640" style="width: 640px"> <figcaption>A Pub in New Orleans.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The CD-ROM version of the game featured some of the highest production values for a multimedia game at the time, boasting the voice talents of Tim Curry and Mark Hamill among others. The game also featured an outstanding soundtrack for an adventure game of its time, which was composed and performed by Robert Holmes, husband of creator Jane Jensen.</p><p style="">Sins of the Fathers was followed up by Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within, and concluded with Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the damned.</p><p style="">A novel based on the game was also released, and it follows the game closely.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p style="">The gameplay in Gabriel Knight consists of commanding Gabriel entirely via the mouse to interact with people and the environment to unravel the mystery of the Voodoo murders and progress the plot. The player has the Move, Operate, Open, Read, Inspect, Question, Talk to, Push, and Take commands as well as being able to use any items Gabriel has in his inventory on the environment, characters or each other.</p><p style="">Speaking with characters in the game also plays a large role in progressing the story by providing clues and plot points. Conversations are fully voiced and different characters will have different replies depending on plot progression and other circumstances. Gabriel records conversations via a tape recorder so conversations can later be reviewed by the player to help find clues.</p><p style="">The story is divided up into ten chapters/days, and when the story has sufficiently progressed the day will end and the next chapter will start. It is however possible for the player to miss a necessary clue, item, or action in an earlier part of the game - making the playthrough impossible to finish.</p><p style="">While Gabriel has no health, there are several occurrences in the game that can lead to his death if not handled properly by the player.</p><h2>Presentation</h2><h3>Graphics</h3><p style="">The environments in Gabriel Knight are static; they come in a wide variety of vantage points, and views. Characters are animated simply but convincingly with the use of early age motion capture technology. The game is also interspersed with several short live action clips and comic book panel animations used to progress the story. When entering a conversation, the player is also given a more in depth look at the characters facial features on a black background. These conversations are also lip synced to the voice actors recorded dialogue.</p><h3>Sound</h3><p style="">Gabriel Knight has an extensive Midi Soundtrack that plays throughout the game with each location having it's own distinct background music. Characters, conversations and narration are also fully voiced (CD-ROM version) by voice actors.</p><h2>Characters</h2><ul><li><strong><b>Gabriel Knight</b></strong>: Protagonist, and main character.

Based upon the popular Mexican serial created by Roberto Bolaños, it is a modification of the Master System game Ghost House.</p><p>All characters and items are changed to fit Chapolim's universe. Mick, the hero of Ghost House, is replaced by Chapolim. Armed with his trusty Marreta Biônica (Chipote Chillón in the original, Squeaky Mallet in English), dressed in red and wearing a yellow heart in his chest, he is a comedic character spoof of super heroes.</p><p>The game play consists of platforming on stages in which Chapolim must defeat five vampires, each resting in a different coffin, locked by a key that can be found with exploration. Not only vampires stand in his way, but also mummies, bats, ghosts, man eating flowers and other horror movie clichés. Other than his mallet, Chapolim can jump over enemies and punch them. By jumping and punching the mansion's lights, Chapolim can freeze enemies in place in order to defeat them. Dracula himself shows up at the end of the game, serving as the last boss encounter.</p>',

However, the train is attacked by a monster, who kills everyone on board except for the player and a young girl, Naomi. From here on out, the game is pretty much a non-stop chase as the monster pursues the player deeper and deeper into the underground. Eventually, the player comes across a mysterious underground civilization known as the Mesh.</p><p style=""> </p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p style="">The player has no weaponry whatsoever with which to defend themselves, and therefore running is pretty much their only chance of survival-- if the pursuing monster catches the player, it's <i>game over</i>. As the player delves deeper and deeper into the underground tunnels beneath the city of  Tokyo, he has to try and find shortcuts in order to try and gain more and more terrain over the creature.</p><p style=""> </p><h2 style="margin-right:0px;margin-left:0px;">TRIVIA</h2><ul><li>Released in Japan as "Dark Messiah".</li></ul>',

			'desc' => '<h2>Overview</h2><p>Alundra is a fantasy action adventure with hand-drawn 2D art that blends traditional action adventure elements with more streamlined exploration mechanics akin to those in the Legend of Zelda franchise. Developed by Matrix Software and originally published by SCEI in Japan, It was later released by Working Designs in the US and Psygnosis in Europe. In 2010, the Working Designs version was re-released on the Playstation Network by Monkeypaw Games.</p><p>Known as "The Adventures of Alundra" in Europe, the game is viewed from a top-down perspective where the player takes control of a young boy named Alundra who realizes not long into the story that he has the ability to enter people's dreams and reveal their inner demons. The game is a real-time action adventure where enemies can be engaged where they stand with quick weapon strikes and puzzles must be solved using intelligence, skill and agility as the player attempts to navigate the game's numerous settings and landscapes to further the storyline. These action elements are blended with more traditional RPG components such as strengthening Alundra's attributes over time and collecting an array of skills, weapons, armor, and useful items.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Alundra's gameplay is very much in the same vein as the early Zelda games, a top-down 2D world in which the player can move up, down, forwards and backwards. Alundra will encounter enemies in real-time in the environments, and can attack them on the spot using a variety of weapons including swords, flails, bows and wands. The player will acquire these weapons as they progress through the main story, which is both a lengthy campaign and challenging. Alundra has plentiful puzzles, some of which will require the player to pull off some quick moves, and platforming style challenges. Other puzzles require much more thought and attention. The game is well noted for having some extremely difficult puzzles which will challenge even veterans of similar games.</p><h2>Soundtrack</h2><p>Alundra's soundtrack consists of one CD and includes 26 songs in all. Some songs from the game were not included in the game due to them being the same song, but using different instruments. The soundtrack was composed by Kohei Tanaka</p><ol><li>Alundra</li><li>The Village of Inoa</li><li>The Wind That Shook the Earth</li><li>The House of Taran</li><li>Nightmare</li><li>Requiem</li><li>Dungeon</li><li>Murgg Village</li><li>Ra's Underground Hideout</li><li>Desert</li><li>Dream a Dream</li><li>Kline's Dream</li><li>The Lizardman's Liar</li><li>The Use of Meia</li><li>Nirude, the Forgotten God</li><li>Miming, the Insignificant Leader</li><li>Underwater</li><li>The Fire Mountain Torra</li><li>The Child's Dream</li><li>Ronin, the Priest Gone Astray</li><li>The Shrine of the Lake</li><li>The Black Angel Come Forth</li><li>The One Who Hates Man</li><li>The Wrath of God</li><li>Melzas, the Combined God</li><li>Reflecting</li><li>Ending</li><li>Tears (Staff Roll)</li></ol>',

Though it was conceived and partially developed by 3D Realms, prior to its completion the game and all rights were sold to Monolith as detailed in a press release on January 22, 1997. This was ostensibly meant to allow 3D Realms the ability to focus on Shadow Warrior, which was being developed concurrently. Monolith completed the game as well as an expansion pack entitled Blood Plasma Pak, which were both released in 1997 (a second expansion, Cryptic Passage for Blood, was developed by Sunstorm Interactive).</p><p style="">The version of the Build engine used for Blood included a number of upgrades, most prominent being the ability to display voxel-based objects. This feature was used significantly throughout the game in place of flat sprites, highlighting both weapon and item pickups as well as certain environmental objects such as tombstones, chairs, and barrels. Unlike other contemporary Build engine titles, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Blood's source code was never publicly released, thus no source ports exist for it, and it must still be played through its original DOS executable.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1690990-bloodscreen.png" data-ref-id="1300-1690990" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <figcaption>Flying body parts are a common sight in Blood.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The gameplay of Blood is very similar to that of other FPS games of its era such as Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. The player is presented with four episodes, which can be played in any order. Each one consists of eight or nine levels (with one secret level per episode) that the player must fight through, with the last level invariably containing that episode's boss. In addition to combat with various types of enemies, most levels require the use of switches and up to six keys in order to advance to the exit. As was the hallmark of its predecessor, Duke Nukem 3D, levels in Blood often place a high emphasis on interactivity, incorporating numerous destructible elements and various objects that can be interacted with for no reason other than increasing the player's immersion.</p><p style="">True to its name, a significant effort was made to amp up the blood and violence over other Build engine games. Zombies can be decapitated and their heads kicked like soccer balls, various enemies can be set on fire to run screaming throughout the levels, and blood flows copiously from enemies at even the simplest of attacks. The game's health system was also relatively novel. Caleb relies for the most part on Life Essence to heal himself, which is dropped by enemies upon death, rather than on preset health pickups used in most first-person shooters at the time. Another innovative aspect of the game was its weapons. Blood boasts alternate firing modes for a large portion of the game's arsenal (a fairly uncommon feature in 1997), ranging from rather straightforward options like firing both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun to more outlandish ones such as lighting and throwing an aerosol can.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1688925-calebbloodshower.png" data-ref-id="1300-1688925" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>He may be the lead, but Caleb's no white hat.</figcaption></figure><p style="">Blood puts players in the shoes of Caleb, a protagonist much in the same tongue-in-cheek vein as Duke Nukem and Lo Wang. While the Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior franchises focused on satirizing action and martial arts movies respectively, Blood traffics in the tropes and mores of the horror genre. The referential humor of the game draws from many sources, from horror classics like <i>The Shining</i> and <i>Friday the 13th</i>, cult films like <i>Army of Darkness</i>, to non-horror classics such as <i>Jaws</i>. Caleb is the game's anti-hero, a sadist and former cultist on a quest for revenge after being killed by Tchernobog, the evil god he once worshiped. In keeping with the game's darker leanings, Caleb is not portrayed as a particularly empathetic character. He will often laugh gleefully in the midst of slaughtering his foes, and will even willfully kills innocents.</p><p style="">As the game begins, Tchernobog has called his Chosen, Caleb, Ophelia, Ishmael, and Gabriel, to a gathering in the Hall of the Epiphany. When they ask what he desires, they are surprised to find he is displeased with them, and they are quickly set upon by Tchernobog's minions. Ishmael is cremated by Cerberus, Gabriel is carried off by Shial who descends from the ceiling, and Ophelia, Caleb's love, is abducted by Cheogh. Finally, Caleb himself is killed personally by Tchernobog, and buried thereafter.</p><p style="">At the start of the game's first level, "Cradle to Grave," Caleb awakens in his own tomb. Upon returning to life by unknown means, Caleb exclaims "I live... again!" Thus he begins his quest, seeking vengeance for his fallen comrades and knowledge of why his own master would betray him.</p><h2>Levels</h2><h3>Episode 1: The Way of All Flesh</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb searches for his lost love,</i> <i>Ophelia Price</i>, who has been taken by <i>Cheogh</i>.</p><ul><li>E1M1: <b>Cradle to Grave</b></li><li>E1M2: <b>Wrong Side of the Tracks</b></li><li>E1M3: <b>Phantom Express</b></li><li>E1M4: <b>Dark Carnival</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E1M5: <b>Hallowed Grounds</b></li><li>E1M6: <b>The Great Temple</b></li><li>E1M7: <b>Altar of Stone</b> (boss level)</li><li>E1M8: <b>House of Horrors</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 2: Even Death May Die</h3><p style=""><i>In order to discover the fate of his fellow Chosen,</i> <i>Gabriel</i>, Caleb delves into the lair of <i>Shial</i>, the Mother of Spiders.</p><ul><li>E2M1: <b>Shipwrecked</b></li><li>E2M2: <b>The Lumber Mill</b></li><li>E2M3: <b>Rest for the Wicked</b></li><li>E2M4: <b>The Overlooked Hotel</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E2M5: <b>The Haunting</b></li><li>E2M6: <b>The Cold Rush</b></li><li>E2M7: <b>Bowels of the Earth</b></li><li>E2M8: <b>The Lair of Shial</b> (boss level)</li><li>E2M9: <b>Thin Ice</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 3: A Farewell to Arms</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb seeks vengeance on</i> <i>Cerberus</i>, the beast responsible for the death of <i>Ishmael</i>.</p><ul><li>E3M1: <b>Ghost Town</b></li><li>E3M2: <b>The Siege</b></li><li>E3M3: <b>Raw Sewage</b></li><li>E3M4: <b>The Sick Ward</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E3M5: <b>Spare Parts</b></li><li>E3M6: <b>Monster Bait</b></li><li>E3M7: <b>The Pit of Cerberus</b> (boss level)</li><li>E3M8: <b>Catacombs</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 4: Dead Reckoning</h3><p style=""><i>Having slain all of his lieutenants, Caleb sets his sights on the evil Tchernobog himself.</i></p><ul><li>E4M1: <b>Butchery Loves Company</b></li><li>E4M2: <b>Breeding Grounds</b></li><li>E4M3: <b>Charnel House</b></li><li>E4M4: <b>Crystal Lake</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E4M5: <b>Fire and Brimstone</b></li><li>E4M6: <b>The Ganglion Depths</b></li><li>E4M7: <b>In The Flesh</b></li><li>E4M8: <b>The Hall of the Epiphany</b> (boss level)</li><li>E4M9: <b>Mall of the Dead</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h2>Weapons</h2><p style="">Blood shipped originally with twelve weapons, nine of which came with alternate firing modes. The Plasma Pak later added new firing methods to the Incinerator and the Life Leech, which left only the Pitchfork without an alternate mode. While Blood does have a few FPS staples, such as a double barreled shotgun and the Incinerator, a device which is more or less a rocket launcher, a fair number of the game's armaments yield unique and interesting effects.</p><table><tbody><tr><th>Appearance</th><th>Pickup Icon</th><th>Description</th></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813061-transparentpitchfork.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813061" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.4054054054054" data-width="74" style="width: 74px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Pitchfork</figcaption></figure></td><td><ul><li>None (Starting Weapon)</li></ul></td><td><h3>Pitchfork</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Caleb stabs the area directly in front of him.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Produces the same attack as the primary fire button.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: None</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813052-transparentflaregun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813052" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2073170731707" data-width="82" style="width: 82px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813008-transparentflaregunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813008" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.44444444444444" data-width="45" style="width: 45px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Flare Gun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Shoots a single flare which can latch onto an enemy causing damage over time and immolating them if their health is low enough.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Fires a flare that separates into eight individual projectiles that each explode on contact and continue burning enemies afterward.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: Flares</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813048-transparentsawed_offshotgun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813048" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2352941176471" data-width="68" style="width: 68px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813013-transparentsawed_offshotgunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813013" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.22950819672131" data-width="61" style="width: 61px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Sawed-Off Shotgun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Fires a single shell.

Far removed from the fairy tale universe of King's Quest and the zany craziness of Space Quest, Gabriel Knight followed an anti-hero plagued by disturbing nightmares through a murder mystery linked to voodoo and his own family's dark, mystical past.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/479074-sierra_008.png" data-ref-id="1300-479074" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="640" style="width: 640px"> <figcaption>A Pub in New Orleans.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The CD-ROM version of the game featured some of the highest production values for a multimedia game at the time, boasting the voice talents of Tim Curry and Mark Hamill among others.

The player has the Move, Operate, Open, Read, Inspect, Question, Talk to, Push, and Take commands as well as being able to use any items Gabriel has in his inventory on the environment, characters or each other.</p><p style="">Speaking with characters in the game also plays a large role in progressing the story by providing clues and plot points. Conversations are fully voiced and different characters will have different replies depending on plot progression and other circumstances. Gabriel records conversations via a tape recorder so conversations can later be reviewed by the player to help find clues.</p><p style="">The story is divided up into ten chapters/days, and when the story has sufficiently progressed the day will end and the next chapter will start. It is however possible for the player to miss a necessary clue, item, or action in an earlier part of the game - making the playthrough impossible to finish.</p><p style="">While Gabriel has no health, there are several occurrences in the game that can lead to his death if not handled properly by the player.</p><h2>Presentation</h2><h3>Graphics</h3><p style="">The environments in Gabriel Knight are static; they come in a wide variety of vantage points, and views. Characters are animated simply but convincingly with the use of early age motion capture technology. The game is also interspersed with several short live action clips and comic book panel animations used to progress the story. When entering a conversation, the player is also given a more in depth look at the characters facial features on a black background. These conversations are also lip synced to the voice actors recorded dialogue.</p><h3>Sound</h3><p style="">Gabriel Knight has an extensive Midi Soundtrack that plays throughout the game with each location having it's own distinct background music. Characters, conversations and narration are also fully voiced (CD-ROM version) by voice actors.</p><h2>Characters</h2><ul><li><strong><b>Gabriel Knight</b></strong>: Protagonist, and main character.

Based upon the popular Mexican serial created by Roberto Bolaños, it is a modification of the Master System game Ghost House.</p><p>All characters and items are changed to fit Chapolim's universe. Mick, the hero of Ghost House, is replaced by Chapolim. Armed with his trusty Marreta Biônica (Chipote Chillón in the original, Squeaky Mallet in English), dressed in red and wearing a yellow heart in his chest, he is a comedic character spoof of super heroes.</p><p>The game play consists of platforming on stages in which Chapolim must defeat five vampires, each resting in a different coffin, locked by a key that can be found with exploration. Not only vampires stand in his way, but also mummies, bats, ghosts, man eating flowers and other horror movie clichés. Other than his mallet, Chapolim can jump over enemies and punch them. By jumping and punching the mansion's lights, Chapolim can freeze enemies in place in order to defeat them. Dracula himself shows up at the end of the game, serving as the last boss encounter.</p>',

			'desc' => '<h2>Overview</h2><p>Alundra is a fantasy action adventure with hand-drawn 2D art that blends traditional action adventure elements with more streamlined exploration mechanics akin to those in the Legend of Zelda franchise. Developed by Matrix Software and originally published by SCEI in Japan, It was later released by Working Designs in the US and Psygnosis in Europe. In 2010, the Working Designs version was re-released on the Playstation Network by Monkeypaw Games.</p><p>Known as "The Adventures of Alundra" in Europe, the game is viewed from a top-down perspective where the player takes control of a young boy named Alundra who realizes not long into the story that he has the ability to enter people's dreams and reveal their inner demons. The game is a real-time action adventure where enemies can be engaged where they stand with quick weapon strikes and puzzles must be solved using intelligence, skill and agility as the player attempts to navigate the game's numerous settings and landscapes to further the storyline. These action elements are blended with more traditional RPG components such as strengthening Alundra's attributes over time and collecting an array of skills, weapons, armor, and useful items.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Alundra's gameplay is very much in the same vein as the early Zelda games, a top-down 2D world in which the player can move up, down, forwards and backwards. Alundra will encounter enemies in real-time in the environments, and can attack them on the spot using a variety of weapons including swords, flails, bows and wands. The player will acquire these weapons as they progress through the main story, which is both a lengthy campaign and challenging. Alundra has plentiful puzzles, some of which will require the player to pull off some quick moves, and platforming style challenges. Other puzzles require much more thought and attention. The game is well noted for having some extremely difficult puzzles which will challenge even veterans of similar games.</p><h2>Soundtrack</h2><p>Alundra's soundtrack consists of one CD and includes 26 songs in all. Some songs from the game were not included in the game due to them being the same song, but using different instruments.

Though it was conceived and partially developed by 3D Realms, prior to its completion the game and all rights were sold to Monolith as detailed in a press release on January 22, 1997. This was ostensibly meant to allow 3D Realms the ability to focus on Shadow Warrior, which was being developed concurrently. Monolith completed the game as well as an expansion pack entitled Blood Plasma Pak, which were both released in 1997 (a second expansion, Cryptic Passage for Blood, was developed by Sunstorm Interactive).</p><p style="">The version of the Build engine used for Blood included a number of upgrades, most prominent being the ability to display voxel-based objects. This feature was used significantly throughout the game in place of flat sprites, highlighting both weapon and item pickups as well as certain environmental objects such as tombstones, chairs, and barrels. Unlike other contemporary Build engine titles, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Blood's source code was never publicly released, thus no source ports exist for it, and it must still be played through its original DOS executable.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1690990-bloodscreen.png" data-ref-id="1300-1690990" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <figcaption>Flying body parts are a common sight in Blood.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The gameplay of Blood is very similar to that of other FPS games of its era such as Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. The player is presented with four episodes, which can be played in any order. Each one consists of eight or nine levels (with one secret level per episode) that the player must fight through, with the last level invariably containing that episode's boss. In addition to combat with various types of enemies, most levels require the use of switches and up to six keys in order to advance to the exit. As was the hallmark of its predecessor, Duke Nukem 3D, levels in Blood often place a high emphasis on interactivity, incorporating numerous destructible elements and various objects that can be interacted with for no reason other than increasing the player's immersion.</p><p style="">True to its name, a significant effort was made to amp up the blood and violence over other Build engine games. Zombies can be decapitated and their heads kicked like soccer balls, various enemies can be set on fire to run screaming throughout the levels, and blood flows copiously from enemies at even the simplest of attacks. The game's health system was also relatively novel. Caleb relies for the most part on Life Essence to heal himself, which is dropped by enemies upon death, rather than on preset health pickups used in most first-person shooters at the time. Another innovative aspect of the game was its weapons. Blood boasts alternate firing modes for a large portion of the game's arsenal (a fairly uncommon feature in 1997), ranging from rather straightforward options like firing both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun to more outlandish ones such as lighting and throwing an aerosol can.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1688925-calebbloodshower.png" data-ref-id="1300-1688925" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>He may be the lead, but Caleb's no white hat.</figcaption></figure><p style="">Blood puts players in the shoes of Caleb, a protagonist much in the same tongue-in-cheek vein as Duke Nukem and Lo Wang. While the Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior franchises focused on satirizing action and martial arts movies respectively, Blood traffics in the tropes and mores of the horror genre. The referential humor of the game draws from many sources, from horror classics like <i>The Shining</i> and <i>Friday the 13th</i>, cult films like <i>Army of Darkness</i>, to non-horror classics such as <i>Jaws</i>. Caleb is the game's anti-hero, a sadist and former cultist on a quest for revenge after being killed by Tchernobog, the evil god he once worshiped. In keeping with the game's darker leanings, Caleb is not portrayed as a particularly empathetic character. He will often laugh gleefully in the midst of slaughtering his foes, and will even willfully kills innocents.</p><p style="">As the game begins, Tchernobog has called his Chosen, Caleb, Ophelia, Ishmael, and Gabriel, to a gathering in the Hall of the Epiphany. When they ask what he desires, they are surprised to find he is displeased with them, and they are quickly set upon by Tchernobog's minions. Ishmael is cremated by Cerberus, Gabriel is carried off by Shial who descends from the ceiling, and Ophelia, Caleb's love, is abducted by Cheogh. Finally, Caleb himself is killed personally by Tchernobog, and buried thereafter.</p><p style="">At the start of the game's first level, "Cradle to Grave," Caleb awakens in his own tomb. Upon returning to life by unknown means, Caleb exclaims "I live... again!" Thus he begins his quest, seeking vengeance for his fallen comrades and knowledge of why his own master would betray him.</p><h2>Levels</h2><h3>Episode 1: The Way of All Flesh</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb searches for his lost love,</i> <i>Ophelia Price</i>, who has been taken by <i>Cheogh</i>.</p><ul><li>E1M1: <b>Cradle to Grave</b></li><li>E1M2: <b>Wrong Side of the Tracks</b></li><li>E1M3: <b>Phantom Express</b></li><li>E1M4: <b>Dark Carnival</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E1M5: <b>Hallowed Grounds</b></li><li>E1M6: <b>The Great Temple</b></li><li>E1M7: <b>Altar of Stone</b> (boss level)</li><li>E1M8: <b>House of Horrors</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 2: Even Death May Die</h3><p style=""><i>In order to discover the fate of his fellow Chosen,</i> <i>Gabriel</i>, Caleb delves into the lair of <i>Shial</i>, the Mother of Spiders.</p><ul><li>E2M1: <b>Shipwrecked</b></li><li>E2M2: <b>The Lumber Mill</b></li><li>E2M3: <b>Rest for the Wicked</b></li><li>E2M4: <b>The Overlooked Hotel</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E2M5: <b>The Haunting</b></li><li>E2M6: <b>The Cold Rush</b></li><li>E2M7: <b>Bowels of the Earth</b></li><li>E2M8: <b>The Lair of Shial</b> (boss level)</li><li>E2M9: <b>Thin Ice</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 3: A Farewell to Arms</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb seeks vengeance on</i> <i>Cerberus</i>, the beast responsible for the death of <i>Ishmael</i>.</p><ul><li>E3M1: <b>Ghost Town</b></li><li>E3M2: <b>The Siege</b></li><li>E3M3: <b>Raw Sewage</b></li><li>E3M4: <b>The Sick Ward</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E3M5: <b>Spare Parts</b></li><li>E3M6: <b>Monster Bait</b></li><li>E3M7: <b>The Pit of Cerberus</b> (boss level)</li><li>E3M8: <b>Catacombs</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 4: Dead Reckoning</h3><p style=""><i>Having slain all of his lieutenants, Caleb sets his sights on the evil Tchernobog himself.</i></p><ul><li>E4M1: <b>Butchery Loves Company</b></li><li>E4M2: <b>Breeding Grounds</b></li><li>E4M3: <b>Charnel House</b></li><li>E4M4: <b>Crystal Lake</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E4M5: <b>Fire and Brimstone</b></li><li>E4M6: <b>The Ganglion Depths</b></li><li>E4M7: <b>In The Flesh</b></li><li>E4M8: <b>The Hall of the Epiphany</b> (boss level)</li><li>E4M9: <b>Mall of the Dead</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h2>Weapons</h2><p style="">Blood shipped originally with twelve weapons, nine of which came with alternate firing modes. The Plasma Pak later added new firing methods to the Incinerator and the Life Leech, which left only the Pitchfork without an alternate mode. While Blood does have a few FPS staples, such as a double barreled shotgun and the Incinerator, a device which is more or less a rocket launcher, a fair number of the game's armaments yield unique and interesting effects.</p><table><tbody><tr><th>Appearance</th><th>Pickup Icon</th><th>Description</th></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813061-transparentpitchfork.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813061" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.4054054054054" data-width="74" style="width: 74px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Pitchfork</figcaption></figure></td><td><ul><li>None (Starting Weapon)</li></ul></td><td><h3>Pitchfork</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Caleb stabs the area directly in front of him.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Produces the same attack as the primary fire button.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: None</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813052-transparentflaregun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813052" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2073170731707" data-width="82" style="width: 82px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813008-transparentflaregunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813008" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.44444444444444" data-width="45" style="width: 45px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Flare Gun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Shoots a single flare which can latch onto an enemy causing damage over time and immolating them if their health is low enough.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Fires a flare that separates into eight individual projectiles that each explode on contact and continue burning enemies afterward.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: Flares</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813048-transparentsawed_offshotgun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813048" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2352941176471" data-width="68" style="width: 68px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813013-transparentsawed_offshotgunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813013" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.22950819672131" data-width="61" style="width: 61px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Sawed-Off Shotgun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Fires a single shell.

Created by author and Sierra writer/designer Jane Jensen, Sins Of The Fathers was the first instalment in a new franchise for Sierra in the mid-90s, and marked a more mature turn for the company previously known for the King's Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest series. Far removed from the fairy tale universe of King's Quest and the zany craziness of Space Quest, Gabriel Knight followed an anti-hero plagued by disturbing nightmares through a murder mystery linked to voodoo and his own family's dark, mystical past.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/479074-sierra_008.png" data-ref-id="1300-479074" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="640" style="width: 640px"> <figcaption>A Pub in New Orleans.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The CD-ROM version of the game featured some of the highest production values for a multimedia game at the time, boasting the voice talents of Tim Curry and Mark Hamill among others. The game also featured an outstanding soundtrack for an adventure game of its time, which was composed and performed by Robert Holmes, husband of creator Jane Jensen.</p><p style="">Sins of the Fathers was followed up by Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within, and concluded with Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the damned.</p><p style="">A novel based on the game was also released, and it follows the game closely.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p style="">The gameplay in Gabriel Knight consists of commanding Gabriel entirely via the mouse to interact with people and the environment to unravel the mystery of the Voodoo murders and progress the plot. The player has the Move, Operate, Open, Read, Inspect, Question, Talk to, Push, and Take commands as well as being able to use any items Gabriel has in his inventory on the environment, characters or each other.</p><p style="">Speaking with characters in the game also plays a large role in progressing the story by providing clues and plot points. Conversations are fully voiced and different characters will have different replies depending on plot progression and other circumstances. Gabriel records conversations via a tape recorder so conversations can later be reviewed by the player to help find clues.</p><p style="">The story is divided up into ten chapters/days, and when the story has sufficiently progressed the day will end and the next chapter will start. It is however possible for the player to miss a necessary clue, item, or action in an earlier part of the game - making the playthrough impossible to finish.</p><p style="">While Gabriel has no health, there are several occurrences in the game that can lead to his death if not handled properly by the player.</p><h2>Presentation</h2><h3>Graphics</h3><p style="">The environments in Gabriel Knight are static; they come in a wide variety of vantage points, and views. Characters are animated simply but convincingly with the use of early age motion capture technology. The game is also interspersed with several short live action clips and comic book panel animations used to progress the story. When entering a conversation, the player is also given a more in depth look at the characters facial features on a black background. These conversations are also lip synced to the voice actors recorded dialogue.</p><h3>Sound</h3><p style="">Gabriel Knight has an extensive Midi Soundtrack that plays throughout the game with each location having it's own distinct background music. Characters, conversations and narration are also fully voiced (CD-ROM version) by voice actors.</p><h2>Characters</h2><ul><li><strong><b>Gabriel Knight</b></strong>: Protagonist, and main character.

Mick, the hero of Ghost House, is replaced by Chapolim. Armed with his trusty Marreta Biônica (Chipote Chillón in the original, Squeaky Mallet in English), dressed in red and wearing a yellow heart in his chest, he is a comedic character spoof of super heroes.</p><p>The game play consists of platforming on stages in which Chapolim must defeat five vampires, each resting in a different coffin, locked by a key that can be found with exploration. Not only vampires stand in his way, but also mummies, bats, ghosts, man eating flowers and other horror movie clichés. Other than his mallet, Chapolim can jump over enemies and punch them. By jumping and punching the mansion's lights, Chapolim can freeze enemies in place in order to defeat them. Dracula himself shows up at the end of the game, serving as the last boss encounter.</p>',

However, the train is attacked by a monster, who kills everyone on board except for the player and a young girl, Naomi. From here on out, the game is pretty much a non-stop chase as the monster pursues the player deeper and deeper into the underground.

			'desc' => '<h2>Overview</h2><p>Alundra is a fantasy action adventure with hand-drawn 2D art that blends traditional action adventure elements with more streamlined exploration mechanics akin to those in the Legend of Zelda franchise. Developed by Matrix Software and originally published by SCEI in Japan, It was later released by Working Designs in the US and Psygnosis in Europe. In 2010, the Working Designs version was re-released on the Playstation Network by Monkeypaw Games.</p><p>Known as "The Adventures of Alundra" in Europe, the game is viewed from a top-down perspective where the player takes control of a young boy named Alundra who realizes not long into the story that he has the ability to enter people's dreams and reveal their inner demons. The game is a real-time action adventure where enemies can be engaged where they stand with quick weapon strikes and puzzles must be solved using intelligence, skill and agility as the player attempts to navigate the game's numerous settings and landscapes to further the storyline. These action elements are blended with more traditional RPG components such as strengthening Alundra's attributes over time and collecting an array of skills, weapons, armor, and useful items.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Alundra's gameplay is very much in the same vein as the early Zelda games, a top-down 2D world in which the player can move up, down, forwards and backwards. Alundra will encounter enemies in real-time in the environments, and can attack them on the spot using a variety of weapons including swords, flails, bows and wands. The player will acquire these weapons as they progress through the main story, which is both a lengthy campaign and challenging. Alundra has plentiful puzzles, some of which will require the player to pull off some quick moves, and platforming style challenges. Other puzzles require much more thought and attention. The game is well noted for having some extremely difficult puzzles which will challenge even veterans of similar games.</p><h2>Soundtrack</h2><p>Alundra's soundtrack consists of one CD and includes 26 songs in all. Some songs from the game were not included in the game due to them being the same song, but using different instruments. The soundtrack was composed by Kohei Tanaka</p><ol><li>Alundra</li><li>The Village of Inoa</li><li>The Wind That Shook the Earth</li><li>The House of Taran</li><li>Nightmare</li><li>Requiem</li><li>Dungeon</li><li>Murgg Village</li><li>Ra's Underground Hideout</li><li>Desert</li><li>Dream a Dream</li><li>Kline's Dream</li><li>The Lizardman's Liar</li><li>The Use of Meia</li><li>Nirude, the Forgotten God</li><li>Miming, the Insignificant Leader</li><li>Underwater</li><li>The Fire Mountain Torra</li><li>The Child's Dream</li><li>Ronin, the Priest Gone Astray</li><li>The Shrine of the Lake</li><li>The Black Angel Come Forth</li><li>The One Who Hates Man</li><li>The Wrath of God</li><li>Melzas, the Combined God</li><li>Reflecting</li><li>Ending</li><li>Tears (Staff Roll)</li></ol>',

Though it was conceived and partially developed by 3D Realms, prior to its completion the game and all rights were sold to Monolith as detailed in a press release on January 22, 1997. This was ostensibly meant to allow 3D Realms the ability to focus on Shadow Warrior, which was being developed concurrently. Monolith completed the game as well as an expansion pack entitled Blood Plasma Pak, which were both released in 1997 (a second expansion, Cryptic Passage for Blood, was developed by Sunstorm Interactive).</p><p style="">The version of the Build engine used for Blood included a number of upgrades, most prominent being the ability to display voxel-based objects. This feature was used significantly throughout the game in place of flat sprites, highlighting both weapon and item pickups as well as certain environmental objects such as tombstones, chairs, and barrels. Unlike other contemporary Build engine titles, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Blood's source code was never publicly released, thus no source ports exist for it, and it must still be played through its original DOS executable.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1690990-bloodscreen.png" data-ref-id="1300-1690990" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <figcaption>Flying body parts are a common sight in Blood.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The gameplay of Blood is very similar to that of other FPS games of its era such as Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. The player is presented with four episodes, which can be played in any order. Each one consists of eight or nine levels (with one secret level per episode) that the player must fight through, with the last level invariably containing that episode's boss. In addition to combat with various types of enemies, most levels require the use of switches and up to six keys in order to advance to the exit. As was the hallmark of its predecessor, Duke Nukem 3D, levels in Blood often place a high emphasis on interactivity, incorporating numerous destructible elements and various objects that can be interacted with for no reason other than increasing the player's immersion.</p><p style="">True to its name, a significant effort was made to amp up the blood and violence over other Build engine games. Zombies can be decapitated and their heads kicked like soccer balls, various enemies can be set on fire to run screaming throughout the levels, and blood flows copiously from enemies at even the simplest of attacks. The game's health system was also relatively novel. Caleb relies for the most part on Life Essence to heal himself, which is dropped by enemies upon death, rather than on preset health pickups used in most first-person shooters at the time. Another innovative aspect of the game was its weapons. Blood boasts alternate firing modes for a large portion of the game's arsenal (a fairly uncommon feature in 1997), ranging from rather straightforward options like firing both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun to more outlandish ones such as lighting and throwing an aerosol can.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1688925-calebbloodshower.png" data-ref-id="1300-1688925" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>He may be the lead, but Caleb's no white hat.</figcaption></figure><p style="">Blood puts players in the shoes of Caleb, a protagonist much in the same tongue-in-cheek vein as Duke Nukem and Lo Wang. While the Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior franchises focused on satirizing action and martial arts movies respectively, Blood traffics in the tropes and mores of the horror genre. The referential humor of the game draws from many sources, from horror classics like <i>The Shining</i> and <i>Friday the 13th</i>, cult films like <i>Army of Darkness</i>, to non-horror classics such as <i>Jaws</i>. Caleb is the game's anti-hero, a sadist and former cultist on a quest for revenge after being killed by Tchernobog, the evil god he once worshiped. In keeping with the game's darker leanings, Caleb is not portrayed as a particularly empathetic character. He will often laugh gleefully in the midst of slaughtering his foes, and will even willfully kills innocents.</p><p style="">As the game begins, Tchernobog has called his Chosen, Caleb, Ophelia, Ishmael, and Gabriel, to a gathering in the Hall of the Epiphany. When they ask what he desires, they are surprised to find he is displeased with them, and they are quickly set upon by Tchernobog's minions. Ishmael is cremated by Cerberus, Gabriel is carried off by Shial who descends from the ceiling, and Ophelia, Caleb's love, is abducted by Cheogh. Finally, Caleb himself is killed personally by Tchernobog, and buried thereafter.</p><p style="">At the start of the game's first level, "Cradle to Grave," Caleb awakens in his own tomb. Upon returning to life by unknown means, Caleb exclaims "I live... again!" Thus he begins his quest, seeking vengeance for his fallen comrades and knowledge of why his own master would betray him.</p><h2>Levels</h2><h3>Episode 1: The Way of All Flesh</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb searches for his lost love,</i> <i>Ophelia Price</i>, who has been taken by <i>Cheogh</i>.</p><ul><li>E1M1: <b>Cradle to Grave</b></li><li>E1M2: <b>Wrong Side of the Tracks</b></li><li>E1M3: <b>Phantom Express</b></li><li>E1M4: <b>Dark Carnival</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E1M5: <b>Hallowed Grounds</b></li><li>E1M6: <b>The Great Temple</b></li><li>E1M7: <b>Altar of Stone</b> (boss level)</li><li>E1M8: <b>House of Horrors</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 2: Even Death May Die</h3><p style=""><i>In order to discover the fate of his fellow Chosen,</i> <i>Gabriel</i>, Caleb delves into the lair of <i>Shial</i>, the Mother of Spiders.</p><ul><li>E2M1: <b>Shipwrecked</b></li><li>E2M2: <b>The Lumber Mill</b></li><li>E2M3: <b>Rest for the Wicked</b></li><li>E2M4: <b>The Overlooked Hotel</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E2M5: <b>The Haunting</b></li><li>E2M6: <b>The Cold Rush</b></li><li>E2M7: <b>Bowels of the Earth</b></li><li>E2M8: <b>The Lair of Shial</b> (boss level)</li><li>E2M9: <b>Thin Ice</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 3: A Farewell to Arms</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb seeks vengeance on</i> <i>Cerberus</i>, the beast responsible for the death of <i>Ishmael</i>.</p><ul><li>E3M1: <b>Ghost Town</b></li><li>E3M2: <b>The Siege</b></li><li>E3M3: <b>Raw Sewage</b></li><li>E3M4: <b>The Sick Ward</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E3M5: <b>Spare Parts</b></li><li>E3M6: <b>Monster Bait</b></li><li>E3M7: <b>The Pit of Cerberus</b> (boss level)</li><li>E3M8: <b>Catacombs</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 4: Dead Reckoning</h3><p style=""><i>Having slain all of his lieutenants, Caleb sets his sights on the evil Tchernobog himself.</i></p><ul><li>E4M1: <b>Butchery Loves Company</b></li><li>E4M2: <b>Breeding Grounds</b></li><li>E4M3: <b>Charnel House</b></li><li>E4M4: <b>Crystal Lake</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E4M5: <b>Fire and Brimstone</b></li><li>E4M6: <b>The Ganglion Depths</b></li><li>E4M7: <b>In The Flesh</b></li><li>E4M8: <b>The Hall of the Epiphany</b> (boss level)</li><li>E4M9: <b>Mall of the Dead</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h2>Weapons</h2><p style="">Blood shipped originally with twelve weapons, nine of which came with alternate firing modes. The Plasma Pak later added new firing methods to the Incinerator and the Life Leech, which left only the Pitchfork without an alternate mode.

The first group is composed of smaller foes that pose more of an annoyance than a true threat, and can generally be defeated with little firepower. The second consists of normal sized enemies that can cause more damage and take more of a beating. The last group is comprised of exceedingly rare monsters that are found at the end of each episode.</p><h3><u>Low-Level Enemies</u></h3><table><tbody><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813034-transparentbat.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813034" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.84210526315789" data-width="38" style="width: 38px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Bat</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Bat</h3> Bats only loosely qualify as enemies, as they don't actively seem to be interested in harming the player, and it is only really possible to be injured by one by wandering into its path.

The bite of a Red Spider will cause a disorienting camera tilt effect for a few seconds and the Green Spider can cause temporary blindness. Special care should be taken when spiders are in the midst of other enemies, as either of these effects can make a simple firefight extremely difficult.</td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813035-transparentchokinghand.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813035" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.3913043478261" data-width="23" style="width: 23px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Choking Hand</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Choking Hand</h3> Easily the most dangerous foe in this category, these disembodied hands latch onto the player's neck and quickly drain life until they are removed.

Equipped with a simple axe melee attack and relatively low hit points, they run headlong at the player attempting to hack them to pieces. Due to their lack of any ranged attack, they are not particularly threatening even in large numbers, though fights in close quarters can present a challenge. Zombies in some cases are able to get back up after being knocked down.</td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813027-transparentbloatedbutcher.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813027" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="2" data-width="50" style="width: 50px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Bloated Butcher</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Bloated Butcher</h3> A larger, slower, and more corpulent version of the standard Zombie, the Butcher comes with significantly more hit points and two projectile attacks, a cleaver toss and the ability to spew corrosive vomit. Neither projectile is extremely quick, so staying at medium range can allow quick players to avoid damage long enough to whittle him down.</td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813050-transparentcultist.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813050" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="2.12" data-width="50" style="width: 50px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Cultist</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Cultist / Fanatic</h3> Perhaps the most consistently troublesome enemy in the game, both versions of this foe come equipped with a deadly hitscan weapon which can rapidly drain the vitality of even a healthy player. The brown-cloaked Cultists have shotguns, while the gray-garbed Fanatics carry tommy guns. Both wield dynamite, and either can cause significant damage any time they have line-of-sight with the player. They will also occasionally go prone in order to avoid return fire. Cultists and Fanatics drop ammunition for their respective weapons upon death.</td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813028-transparentgargoyle.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813028" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.0169491525424" data-width="118" style="width: 118px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Gargoyle</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Gargoyle</h3> Flying enemies who often lie in wait as inconspicuous statues, Gargoyles are extremely hardy and have a penchant for attacking the player when otherwise occupied.

Shial awaits at the end of the second episode and also shows up in later levels as a regular monster, though this version is referred to as Mother Spider.</td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813049-transparentcerberus.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813049" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.98" data-width="100" style="width: 100px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Cerberus</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Cerberus</h3> Cerberus is the penultimate boss of Blood, being a larger and tougher two-headed version of the standard Hell Hound.

He is the final enemy to be confronted in the game's fourth and final episode.</td></tr></tbody></table><h2><b>Expansion Packs</b></h2><p style="">Blood saw two commercial expansions, Plasma Pak, created by Monolith, and Cryptic Passage, developed by Sunstorm Interactive. Both add-ons augmented the original game with an entirely new episode (bringing the total to six), with Plasma Pak also having other notable additions such as new enemies and new firing modes for existing weapons. Having the Plasma Pak installed also allows these new firing modes to be used in Blood's original episodes.</p><h2>Minimum System Requirements</h2><h3>PC</h3><ul><li>Windows XP / Vista</li><li>1 GHz processor (1.4 GHz recommended)</li><li>256MB RAM (512MB recommended)</li><li>3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended)</li><li>Mouse</li><li>Keyboard</li></ul>',

Created by author and Sierra writer/designer Jane Jensen, Sins Of The Fathers was the first instalment in a new franchise for Sierra in the mid-90s, and marked a more mature turn for the company previously known for the King's Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest series. Far removed from the fairy tale universe of King's Quest and the zany craziness of Space Quest, Gabriel Knight followed an anti-hero plagued by disturbing nightmares through a murder mystery linked to voodoo and his own family's dark, mystical past.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/479074-sierra_008.png" data-ref-id="1300-479074" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="640" style="width: 640px"> <figcaption>A Pub in New Orleans.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The CD-ROM version of the game featured some of the highest production values for a multimedia game at the time, boasting the voice talents of Tim Curry and Mark Hamill among others. The game also featured an outstanding soundtrack for an adventure game of its time, which was composed and performed by Robert Holmes, husband of creator Jane Jensen.</p><p style="">Sins of the Fathers was followed up by Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within, and concluded with Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the damned.</p><p style="">A novel based on the game was also released, and it follows the game closely.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p style="">The gameplay in Gabriel Knight consists of commanding Gabriel entirely via the mouse to interact with people and the environment to unravel the mystery of the Voodoo murders and progress the plot. The player has the Move, Operate, Open, Read, Inspect, Question, Talk to, Push, and Take commands as well as being able to use any items Gabriel has in his inventory on the environment, characters or each other.</p><p style="">Speaking with characters in the game also plays a large role in progressing the story by providing clues and plot points. Conversations are fully voiced and different characters will have different replies depending on plot progression and other circumstances. Gabriel records conversations via a tape recorder so conversations can later be reviewed by the player to help find clues.</p><p style="">The story is divided up into ten chapters/days, and when the story has sufficiently progressed the day will end and the next chapter will start. It is however possible for the player to miss a necessary clue, item, or action in an earlier part of the game - making the playthrough impossible to finish.</p><p style="">While Gabriel has no health, there are several occurrences in the game that can lead to his death if not handled properly by the player.</p><h2>Presentation</h2><h3>Graphics</h3><p style="">The environments in Gabriel Knight are static; they come in a wide variety of vantage points, and views. Characters are animated simply but convincingly with the use of early age motion capture technology. The game is also interspersed with several short live action clips and comic book panel animations used to progress the story. When entering a conversation, the player is also given a more in depth look at the characters facial features on a black background. These conversations are also lip synced to the voice actors recorded dialogue.</p><h3>Sound</h3><p style="">Gabriel Knight has an extensive Midi Soundtrack that plays throughout the game with each location having it's own distinct background music. Characters, conversations and narration are also fully voiced (CD-ROM version) by voice actors.</p><h2>Characters</h2><ul><li><strong><b>Gabriel Knight</b></strong>: Protagonist, and main character.

Based upon the popular Mexican serial created by Roberto Bolaños, it is a modification of the Master System game Ghost House.</p><p>All characters and items are changed to fit Chapolim's universe. Mick, the hero of Ghost House, is replaced by Chapolim. Armed with his trusty Marreta Biônica (Chipote Chillón in the original, Squeaky Mallet in English), dressed in red and wearing a yellow heart in his chest, he is a comedic character spoof of super heroes.</p><p>The game play consists of platforming on stages in which Chapolim must defeat five vampires, each resting in a different coffin, locked by a key that can be found with exploration. Not only vampires stand in his way, but also mummies, bats, ghosts, man eating flowers and other horror movie clichés. Other than his mallet, Chapolim can jump over enemies and punch them. By jumping and punching the mansion's lights, Chapolim can freeze enemies in place in order to defeat them. Dracula himself shows up at the end of the game, serving as the last boss encounter.</p>',

However, the train is attacked by a monster, who kills everyone on board except for the player and a young girl, Naomi.

			'desc' => '<h2>Overview</h2><p>Alundra is a fantasy action adventure with hand-drawn 2D art that blends traditional action adventure elements with more streamlined exploration mechanics akin to those in the Legend of Zelda franchise. Developed by Matrix Software and originally published by SCEI in Japan, It was later released by Working Designs in the US and Psygnosis in Europe. In 2010, the Working Designs version was re-released on the Playstation Network by Monkeypaw Games.</p><p>Known as "The Adventures of Alundra" in Europe, the game is viewed from a top-down perspective where the player takes control of a young boy named Alundra who realizes not long into the story that he has the ability to enter people's dreams and reveal their inner demons. The game is a real-time action adventure where enemies can be engaged where they stand with quick weapon strikes and puzzles must be solved using intelligence, skill and agility as the player attempts to navigate the game's numerous settings and landscapes to further the storyline. These action elements are blended with more traditional RPG components such as strengthening Alundra's attributes over time and collecting an array of skills, weapons, armor, and useful items.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Alundra's gameplay is very much in the same vein as the early Zelda games, a top-down 2D world in which the player can move up, down, forwards and backwards. Alundra will encounter enemies in real-time in the environments, and can attack them on the spot using a variety of weapons including swords, flails, bows and wands. The player will acquire these weapons as they progress through the main story, which is both a lengthy campaign and challenging. Alundra has plentiful puzzles, some of which will require the player to pull off some quick moves, and platforming style challenges. Other puzzles require much more thought and attention. The game is well noted for having some extremely difficult puzzles which will challenge even veterans of similar games.</p><h2>Soundtrack</h2><p>Alundra's soundtrack consists of one CD and includes 26 songs in all. Some songs from the game were not included in the game due to them being the same song, but using different instruments. The soundtrack was composed by Kohei Tanaka</p><ol><li>Alundra</li><li>The Village of Inoa</li><li>The Wind That Shook the Earth</li><li>The House of Taran</li><li>Nightmare</li><li>Requiem</li><li>Dungeon</li><li>Murgg Village</li><li>Ra's Underground Hideout</li><li>Desert</li><li>Dream a Dream</li><li>Kline's Dream</li><li>The Lizardman's Liar</li><li>The Use of Meia</li><li>Nirude, the Forgotten God</li><li>Miming, the Insignificant Leader</li><li>Underwater</li><li>The Fire Mountain Torra</li><li>The Child's Dream</li><li>Ronin, the Priest Gone Astray</li><li>The Shrine of the Lake</li><li>The Black Angel Come Forth</li><li>The One Who Hates Man</li><li>The Wrath of God</li><li>Melzas, the Combined God</li><li>Reflecting</li><li>Ending</li><li>Tears (Staff Roll)</li></ol>',

Though it was conceived and partially developed by 3D Realms, prior to its completion the game and all rights were sold to Monolith as detailed in a press release on January 22, 1997. This was ostensibly meant to allow 3D Realms the ability to focus on Shadow Warrior, which was being developed concurrently. Monolith completed the game as well as an expansion pack entitled Blood Plasma Pak, which were both released in 1997 (a second expansion, Cryptic Passage for Blood, was developed by Sunstorm Interactive).</p><p style="">The version of the Build engine used for Blood included a number of upgrades, most prominent being the ability to display voxel-based objects. This feature was used significantly throughout the game in place of flat sprites, highlighting both weapon and item pickups as well as certain environmental objects such as tombstones, chairs, and barrels. Unlike other contemporary Build engine titles, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Blood's source code was never publicly released, thus no source ports exist for it, and it must still be played through its original DOS executable.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1690990-bloodscreen.png" data-ref-id="1300-1690990" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <figcaption>Flying body parts are a common sight in Blood.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The gameplay of Blood is very similar to that of other FPS games of its era such as Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. The player is presented with four episodes, which can be played in any order. Each one consists of eight or nine levels (with one secret level per episode) that the player must fight through, with the last level invariably containing that episode's boss. In addition to combat with various types of enemies, most levels require the use of switches and up to six keys in order to advance to the exit. As was the hallmark of its predecessor, Duke Nukem 3D, levels in Blood often place a high emphasis on interactivity, incorporating numerous destructible elements and various objects that can be interacted with for no reason other than increasing the player's immersion.</p><p style="">True to its name, a significant effort was made to amp up the blood and violence over other Build engine games. Zombies can be decapitated and their heads kicked like soccer balls, various enemies can be set on fire to run screaming throughout the levels, and blood flows copiously from enemies at even the simplest of attacks. The game's health system was also relatively novel. Caleb relies for the most part on Life Essence to heal himself, which is dropped by enemies upon death, rather than on preset health pickups used in most first-person shooters at the time. Another innovative aspect of the game was its weapons. Blood boasts alternate firing modes for a large portion of the game's arsenal (a fairly uncommon feature in 1997), ranging from rather straightforward options like firing both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun to more outlandish ones such as lighting and throwing an aerosol can.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1688925-calebbloodshower.png" data-ref-id="1300-1688925" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>He may be the lead, but Caleb's no white hat.</figcaption></figure><p style="">Blood puts players in the shoes of Caleb, a protagonist much in the same tongue-in-cheek vein as Duke Nukem and Lo Wang. While the Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior franchises focused on satirizing action and martial arts movies respectively, Blood traffics in the tropes and mores of the horror genre. The referential humor of the game draws from many sources, from horror classics like <i>The Shining</i> and <i>Friday the 13th</i>, cult films like <i>Army of Darkness</i>, to non-horror classics such as <i>Jaws</i>. Caleb is the game's anti-hero, a sadist and former cultist on a quest for revenge after being killed by Tchernobog, the evil god he once worshiped. In keeping with the game's darker leanings, Caleb is not portrayed as a particularly empathetic character. He will often laugh gleefully in the midst of slaughtering his foes, and will even willfully kills innocents.</p><p style="">As the game begins, Tchernobog has called his Chosen, Caleb, Ophelia, Ishmael, and Gabriel, to a gathering in the Hall of the Epiphany. When they ask what he desires, they are surprised to find he is displeased with them, and they are quickly set upon by Tchernobog's minions. Ishmael is cremated by Cerberus, Gabriel is carried off by Shial who descends from the ceiling, and Ophelia, Caleb's love, is abducted by Cheogh. Finally, Caleb himself is killed personally by Tchernobog, and buried thereafter.</p><p style="">At the start of the game's first level, "Cradle to Grave," Caleb awakens in his own tomb. Upon returning to life by unknown means, Caleb exclaims "I live... again!" Thus he begins his quest, seeking vengeance for his fallen comrades and knowledge of why his own master would betray him.</p><h2>Levels</h2><h3>Episode 1: The Way of All Flesh</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb searches for his lost love,</i> <i>Ophelia Price</i>, who has been taken by <i>Cheogh</i>.</p><ul><li>E1M1: <b>Cradle to Grave</b></li><li>E1M2: <b>Wrong Side of the Tracks</b></li><li>E1M3: <b>Phantom Express</b></li><li>E1M4: <b>Dark Carnival</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E1M5: <b>Hallowed Grounds</b></li><li>E1M6: <b>The Great Temple</b></li><li>E1M7: <b>Altar of Stone</b> (boss level)</li><li>E1M8: <b>House of Horrors</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 2: Even Death May Die</h3><p style=""><i>In order to discover the fate of his fellow Chosen,</i> <i>Gabriel</i>, Caleb delves into the lair of <i>Shial</i>, the Mother of Spiders.</p><ul><li>E2M1: <b>Shipwrecked</b></li><li>E2M2: <b>The Lumber Mill</b></li><li>E2M3: <b>Rest for the Wicked</b></li><li>E2M4: <b>The Overlooked Hotel</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E2M5: <b>The Haunting</b></li><li>E2M6: <b>The Cold Rush</b></li><li>E2M7: <b>Bowels of the Earth</b></li><li>E2M8: <b>The Lair of Shial</b> (boss level)</li><li>E2M9: <b>Thin Ice</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 3: A Farewell to Arms</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb seeks vengeance on</i> <i>Cerberus</i>, the beast responsible for the death of <i>Ishmael</i>.</p><ul><li>E3M1: <b>Ghost Town</b></li><li>E3M2: <b>The Siege</b></li><li>E3M3: <b>Raw Sewage</b></li><li>E3M4: <b>The Sick Ward</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E3M5: <b>Spare Parts</b></li><li>E3M6: <b>Monster Bait</b></li><li>E3M7: <b>The Pit of Cerberus</b> (boss level)</li><li>E3M8: <b>Catacombs</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 4: Dead Reckoning</h3><p style=""><i>Having slain all of his lieutenants, Caleb sets his sights on the evil Tchernobog himself.</i></p><ul><li>E4M1: <b>Butchery Loves Company</b></li><li>E4M2: <b>Breeding Grounds</b></li><li>E4M3: <b>Charnel House</b></li><li>E4M4: <b>Crystal Lake</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E4M5: <b>Fire and Brimstone</b></li><li>E4M6: <b>The Ganglion Depths</b></li><li>E4M7: <b>In The Flesh</b></li><li>E4M8: <b>The Hall of the Epiphany</b> (boss level)</li><li>E4M9: <b>Mall of the Dead</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h2>Weapons</h2><p style="">Blood shipped originally with twelve weapons, nine of which came with alternate firing modes. The Plasma Pak later added new firing methods to the Incinerator and the Life Leech, which left only the Pitchfork without an alternate mode. While Blood does have a few FPS staples, such as a double barreled shotgun and the Incinerator, a device which is more or less a rocket launcher, a fair number of the game's armaments yield unique and interesting effects.</p><table><tbody><tr><th>Appearance</th><th>Pickup Icon</th><th>Description</th></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813061-transparentpitchfork.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813061" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.4054054054054" data-width="74" style="width: 74px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Pitchfork</figcaption></figure></td><td><ul><li>None (Starting Weapon)</li></ul></td><td><h3>Pitchfork</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Caleb stabs the area directly in front of him.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Produces the same attack as the primary fire button.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: None</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813052-transparentflaregun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813052" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2073170731707" data-width="82" style="width: 82px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813008-transparentflaregunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813008" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.44444444444444" data-width="45" style="width: 45px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Flare Gun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Shoots a single flare which can latch onto an enemy causing damage over time and immolating them if their health is low enough.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Fires a flare that separates into eight individual projectiles that each explode on contact and continue burning enemies afterward.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: Flares</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813048-transparentsawed_offshotgun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813048" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2352941176471" data-width="68" style="width: 68px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813013-transparentsawed_offshotgunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813013" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.22950819672131" data-width="61" style="width: 61px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Sawed-Off Shotgun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Fires a single shell.

The brown-cloaked Cultists have shotguns, while the gray-garbed Fanatics carry tommy guns. Both wield dynamite, and either can cause significant damage any time they have line-of-sight with the player. They will also occasionally go prone in order to avoid return fire.

Both add-ons augmented the original game with an entirely new episode (bringing the total to six), with Plasma Pak also having other notable additions such as new enemies and new firing modes for existing weapons. Having the Plasma Pak installed also allows these new firing modes to be used in Blood's original episodes.</p><h2>Minimum System Requirements</h2><h3>PC</h3><ul><li>Windows XP / Vista</li><li>1 GHz processor (1.4 GHz recommended)</li><li>256MB RAM (512MB recommended)</li><li>3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended)</li><li>Mouse</li><li>Keyboard</li></ul>',

Created by author and Sierra writer/designer Jane Jensen, Sins Of The Fathers was the first instalment in a new franchise for Sierra in the mid-90s, and marked a more mature turn for the company previously known for the King's Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest series. Far removed from the fairy tale universe of King's Quest and the zany craziness of Space Quest, Gabriel Knight followed an anti-hero plagued by disturbing nightmares through a murder mystery linked to voodoo and his own family's dark, mystical past.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/479074-sierra_008.png" data-ref-id="1300-479074" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="640" style="width: 640px"> <figcaption>A Pub in New Orleans.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The CD-ROM version of the game featured some of the highest production values for a multimedia game at the time, boasting the voice talents of Tim Curry and Mark Hamill among others. The game also featured an outstanding soundtrack for an adventure game of its time, which was composed and performed by Robert Holmes, husband of creator Jane Jensen.</p><p style="">Sins of the Fathers was followed up by Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within, and concluded with Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the damned.</p><p style="">A novel based on the game was also released, and it follows the game closely.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p style="">The gameplay in Gabriel Knight consists of commanding Gabriel entirely via the mouse to interact with people and the environment to unravel the mystery of the Voodoo murders and progress the plot. The player has the Move, Operate, Open, Read, Inspect, Question, Talk to, Push, and Take commands as well as being able to use any items Gabriel has in his inventory on the environment, characters or each other.</p><p style="">Speaking with characters in the game also plays a large role in progressing the story by providing clues and plot points. Conversations are fully voiced and different characters will have different replies depending on plot progression and other circumstances. Gabriel records conversations via a tape recorder so conversations can later be reviewed by the player to help find clues.</p><p style="">The story is divided up into ten chapters/days, and when the story has sufficiently progressed the day will end and the next chapter will start. It is however possible for the player to miss a necessary clue, item, or action in an earlier part of the game - making the playthrough impossible to finish.</p><p style="">While Gabriel has no health, there are several occurrences in the game that can lead to his death if not handled properly by the player.</p><h2>Presentation</h2><h3>Graphics</h3><p style="">The environments in Gabriel Knight are static; they come in a wide variety of vantage points, and views. Characters are animated simply but convincingly with the use of early age motion capture technology. The game is also interspersed with several short live action clips and comic book panel animations used to progress the story. When entering a conversation, the player is also given a more in depth look at the characters facial features on a black background. These conversations are also lip synced to the voice actors recorded dialogue.</p><h3>Sound</h3><p style="">Gabriel Knight has an extensive Midi Soundtrack that plays throughout the game with each location having it's own distinct background music. Characters, conversations and narration are also fully voiced (CD-ROM version) by voice actors.</p><h2>Characters</h2><ul><li><strong><b>Gabriel Knight</b></strong>: Protagonist, and main character.

Based upon the popular Mexican serial created by Roberto Bolaños, it is a modification of the Master System game Ghost House.</p><p>All characters and items are changed to fit Chapolim's universe. Mick, the hero of Ghost House, is replaced by Chapolim. Armed with his trusty Marreta Biônica (Chipote Chillón in the original, Squeaky Mallet in English), dressed in red and wearing a yellow heart in his chest, he is a comedic character spoof of super heroes.</p><p>The game play consists of platforming on stages in which Chapolim must defeat five vampires, each resting in a different coffin, locked by a key that can be found with exploration. Not only vampires stand in his way, but also mummies, bats, ghosts, man eating flowers and other horror movie clichés. Other than his mallet, Chapolim can jump over enemies and punch them. By jumping and punching the mansion's lights, Chapolim can freeze enemies in place in order to defeat them. Dracula himself shows up at the end of the game, serving as the last boss encounter.</p>',

However, the train is attacked by a monster, who kills everyone on board except for the player and a young girl, Naomi. From here on out, the game is pretty much a non-stop chase as the monster pursues the player deeper and deeper into the underground. Eventually, the player comes across a mysterious underground civilization known as the Mesh.</p><p style=""> </p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p style="">The player has no weaponry whatsoever with which to defend themselves, and therefore running is pretty much their only chance of survival-- if the pursuing monster catches the player, it's <i>game over</i>.

			'desc' => '<h2>Overview</h2><p>Alundra is a fantasy action adventure with hand-drawn 2D art that blends traditional action adventure elements with more streamlined exploration mechanics akin to those in the Legend of Zelda franchise. Developed by Matrix Software and originally published by SCEI in Japan, It was later released by Working Designs in the US and Psygnosis in Europe. In 2010, the Working Designs version was re-released on the Playstation Network by Monkeypaw Games.</p><p>Known as "The Adventures of Alundra" in Europe, the game is viewed from a top-down perspective where the player takes control of a young boy named Alundra who realizes not long into the story that he has the ability to enter people's dreams and reveal their inner demons. The game is a real-time action adventure where enemies can be engaged where they stand with quick weapon strikes and puzzles must be solved using intelligence, skill and agility as the player attempts to navigate the game's numerous settings and landscapes to further the storyline. These action elements are blended with more traditional RPG components such as strengthening Alundra's attributes over time and collecting an array of skills, weapons, armor, and useful items.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Alundra's gameplay is very much in the same vein as the early Zelda games, a top-down 2D world in which the player can move up, down, forwards and backwards. Alundra will encounter enemies in real-time in the environments, and can attack them on the spot using a variety of weapons including swords, flails, bows and wands. The player will acquire these weapons as they progress through the main story, which is both a lengthy campaign and challenging. Alundra has plentiful puzzles, some of which will require the player to pull off some quick moves, and platforming style challenges. Other puzzles require much more thought and attention. The game is well noted for having some extremely difficult puzzles which will challenge even veterans of similar games.</p><h2>Soundtrack</h2><p>Alundra's soundtrack consists of one CD and includes 26 songs in all. Some songs from the game were not included in the game due to them being the same song, but using different instruments. The soundtrack was composed by Kohei Tanaka</p><ol><li>Alundra</li><li>The Village of Inoa</li><li>The Wind That Shook the Earth</li><li>The House of Taran</li><li>Nightmare</li><li>Requiem</li><li>Dungeon</li><li>Murgg Village</li><li>Ra's Underground Hideout</li><li>Desert</li><li>Dream a Dream</li><li>Kline's Dream</li><li>The Lizardman's Liar</li><li>The Use of Meia</li><li>Nirude, the Forgotten God</li><li>Miming, the Insignificant Leader</li><li>Underwater</li><li>The Fire Mountain Torra</li><li>The Child's Dream</li><li>Ronin, the Priest Gone Astray</li><li>The Shrine of the Lake</li><li>The Black Angel Come Forth</li><li>The One Who Hates Man</li><li>The Wrath of God</li><li>Melzas, the Combined God</li><li>Reflecting</li><li>Ending</li><li>Tears (Staff Roll)</li></ol>',

Though it was conceived and partially developed by 3D Realms, prior to its completion the game and all rights were sold to Monolith as detailed in a press release on January 22, 1997. This was ostensibly meant to allow 3D Realms the ability to focus on Shadow Warrior, which was being developed concurrently. Monolith completed the game as well as an expansion pack entitled Blood Plasma Pak, which were both released in 1997 (a second expansion, Cryptic Passage for Blood, was developed by Sunstorm Interactive).</p><p style="">The version of the Build engine used for Blood included a number of upgrades, most prominent being the ability to display voxel-based objects. This feature was used significantly throughout the game in place of flat sprites, highlighting both weapon and item pickups as well as certain environmental objects such as tombstones, chairs, and barrels. Unlike other contemporary Build engine titles, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Blood's source code was never publicly released, thus no source ports exist for it, and it must still be played through its original DOS executable.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1690990-bloodscreen.png" data-ref-id="1300-1690990" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <figcaption>Flying body parts are a common sight in Blood.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The gameplay of Blood is very similar to that of other FPS games of its era such as Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. The player is presented with four episodes, which can be played in any order. Each one consists of eight or nine levels (with one secret level per episode) that the player must fight through, with the last level invariably containing that episode's boss. In addition to combat with various types of enemies, most levels require the use of switches and up to six keys in order to advance to the exit. As was the hallmark of its predecessor, Duke Nukem 3D, levels in Blood often place a high emphasis on interactivity, incorporating numerous destructible elements and various objects that can be interacted with for no reason other than increasing the player's immersion.</p><p style="">True to its name, a significant effort was made to amp up the blood and violence over other Build engine games. Zombies can be decapitated and their heads kicked like soccer balls, various enemies can be set on fire to run screaming throughout the levels, and blood flows copiously from enemies at even the simplest of attacks. The game's health system was also relatively novel. Caleb relies for the most part on Life Essence to heal himself, which is dropped by enemies upon death, rather than on preset health pickups used in most first-person shooters at the time. Another innovative aspect of the game was its weapons. Blood boasts alternate firing modes for a large portion of the game's arsenal (a fairly uncommon feature in 1997), ranging from rather straightforward options like firing both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun to more outlandish ones such as lighting and throwing an aerosol can.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1688925-calebbloodshower.png" data-ref-id="1300-1688925" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>He may be the lead, but Caleb's no white hat.</figcaption></figure><p style="">Blood puts players in the shoes of Caleb, a protagonist much in the same tongue-in-cheek vein as Duke Nukem and Lo Wang. While the Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior franchises focused on satirizing action and martial arts movies respectively, Blood traffics in the tropes and mores of the horror genre. The referential humor of the game draws from many sources, from horror classics like <i>The Shining</i> and <i>Friday the 13th</i>, cult films like <i>Army of Darkness</i>, to non-horror classics such as <i>Jaws</i>. Caleb is the game's anti-hero, a sadist and former cultist on a quest for revenge after being killed by Tchernobog, the evil god he once worshiped. In keeping with the game's darker leanings, Caleb is not portrayed as a particularly empathetic character. He will often laugh gleefully in the midst of slaughtering his foes, and will even willfully kills innocents.</p><p style="">As the game begins, Tchernobog has called his Chosen, Caleb, Ophelia, Ishmael, and Gabriel, to a gathering in the Hall of the Epiphany. When they ask what he desires, they are surprised to find he is displeased with them, and they are quickly set upon by Tchernobog's minions. Ishmael is cremated by Cerberus, Gabriel is carried off by Shial who descends from the ceiling, and Ophelia, Caleb's love, is abducted by Cheogh. Finally, Caleb himself is killed personally by Tchernobog, and buried thereafter.</p><p style="">At the start of the game's first level, "Cradle to Grave," Caleb awakens in his own tomb. Upon returning to life by unknown means, Caleb exclaims "I live... again!" Thus he begins his quest, seeking vengeance for his fallen comrades and knowledge of why his own master would betray him.</p><h2>Levels</h2><h3>Episode 1: The Way of All Flesh</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb searches for his lost love,</i> <i>Ophelia Price</i>, who has been taken by <i>Cheogh</i>.</p><ul><li>E1M1: <b>Cradle to Grave</b></li><li>E1M2: <b>Wrong Side of the Tracks</b></li><li>E1M3: <b>Phantom Express</b></li><li>E1M4: <b>Dark Carnival</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E1M5: <b>Hallowed Grounds</b></li><li>E1M6: <b>The Great Temple</b></li><li>E1M7: <b>Altar of Stone</b> (boss level)</li><li>E1M8: <b>House of Horrors</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 2: Even Death May Die</h3><p style=""><i>In order to discover the fate of his fellow Chosen,</i> <i>Gabriel</i>, Caleb delves into the lair of <i>Shial</i>, the Mother of Spiders.</p><ul><li>E2M1: <b>Shipwrecked</b></li><li>E2M2: <b>The Lumber Mill</b></li><li>E2M3: <b>Rest for the Wicked</b></li><li>E2M4: <b>The Overlooked Hotel</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E2M5: <b>The Haunting</b></li><li>E2M6: <b>The Cold Rush</b></li><li>E2M7: <b>Bowels of the Earth</b></li><li>E2M8: <b>The Lair of Shial</b> (boss level)</li><li>E2M9: <b>Thin Ice</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 3: A Farewell to Arms</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb seeks vengeance on</i> <i>Cerberus</i>, the beast responsible for the death of <i>Ishmael</i>.</p><ul><li>E3M1: <b>Ghost Town</b></li><li>E3M2: <b>The Siege</b></li><li>E3M3: <b>Raw Sewage</b></li><li>E3M4: <b>The Sick Ward</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E3M5: <b>Spare Parts</b></li><li>E3M6: <b>Monster Bait</b></li><li>E3M7: <b>The Pit of Cerberus</b> (boss level)</li><li>E3M8: <b>Catacombs</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 4: Dead Reckoning</h3><p style=""><i>Having slain all of his lieutenants, Caleb sets his sights on the evil Tchernobog himself.</i></p><ul><li>E4M1: <b>Butchery Loves Company</b></li><li>E4M2: <b>Breeding Grounds</b></li><li>E4M3: <b>Charnel House</b></li><li>E4M4: <b>Crystal Lake</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E4M5: <b>Fire and Brimstone</b></li><li>E4M6: <b>The Ganglion Depths</b></li><li>E4M7: <b>In The Flesh</b></li><li>E4M8: <b>The Hall of the Epiphany</b> (boss level)</li><li>E4M9: <b>Mall of the Dead</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h2>Weapons</h2><p style="">Blood shipped originally with twelve weapons, nine of which came with alternate firing modes. The Plasma Pak later added new firing methods to the Incinerator and the Life Leech, which left only the Pitchfork without an alternate mode. While Blood does have a few FPS staples, such as a double barreled shotgun and the Incinerator, a device which is more or less a rocket launcher, a fair number of the game's armaments yield unique and interesting effects.</p><table><tbody><tr><th>Appearance</th><th>Pickup Icon</th><th>Description</th></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813061-transparentpitchfork.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813061" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.4054054054054" data-width="74" style="width: 74px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Pitchfork</figcaption></figure></td><td><ul><li>None (Starting Weapon)</li></ul></td><td><h3>Pitchfork</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Caleb stabs the area directly in front of him.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Produces the same attack as the primary fire button.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: None</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813052-transparentflaregun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813052" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2073170731707" data-width="82" style="width: 82px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813008-transparentflaregunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813008" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.44444444444444" data-width="45" style="width: 45px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Flare Gun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Shoots a single flare which can latch onto an enemy causing damage over time and immolating them if their health is low enough.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Fires a flare that separates into eight individual projectiles that each explode on contact and continue burning enemies afterward.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: Flares</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813048-transparentsawed_offshotgun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813048" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2352941176471" data-width="68" style="width: 68px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813013-transparentsawed_offshotgunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813013" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.22950819672131" data-width="61" style="width: 61px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Sawed-Off Shotgun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Fires a single shell.

Both add-ons augmented the original game with an entirely new episode (bringing the total to six), with Plasma Pak also having other notable additions such as new enemies and new firing modes for existing weapons. Having the Plasma Pak installed also allows these new firing modes to be used in Blood's original episodes.</p><h2>Minimum System Requirements</h2><h3>PC</h3><ul><li>Windows XP / Vista</li><li>1 GHz processor (1.4 GHz recommended)</li><li>256MB RAM (512MB recommended)</li><li>3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended)</li><li>Mouse</li><li>Keyboard</li></ul>',

Created by author and Sierra writer/designer Jane Jensen, Sins Of The Fathers was the first instalment in a new franchise for Sierra in the mid-90s, and marked a more mature turn for the company previously known for the King's Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest series. Far removed from the fairy tale universe of King's Quest and the zany craziness of Space Quest, Gabriel Knight followed an anti-hero plagued by disturbing nightmares through a murder mystery linked to voodoo and his own family's dark, mystical past.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/479074-sierra_008.png" data-ref-id="1300-479074" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="640" style="width: 640px"> <figcaption>A Pub in New Orleans.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The CD-ROM version of the game featured some of the highest production values for a multimedia game at the time, boasting the voice talents of Tim Curry and Mark Hamill among others. The game also featured an outstanding soundtrack for an adventure game of its time, which was composed and performed by Robert Holmes, husband of creator Jane Jensen.</p><p style="">Sins of the Fathers was followed up by Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within, and concluded with Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the damned.</p><p style="">A novel based on the game was also released, and it follows the game closely.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p style="">The gameplay in Gabriel Knight consists of commanding Gabriel entirely via the mouse to interact with people and the environment to unravel the mystery of the Voodoo murders and progress the plot. The player has the Move, Operate, Open, Read, Inspect, Question, Talk to, Push, and Take commands as well as being able to use any items Gabriel has in his inventory on the environment, characters or each other.</p><p style="">Speaking with characters in the game also plays a large role in progressing the story by providing clues and plot points. Conversations are fully voiced and different characters will have different replies depending on plot progression and other circumstances. Gabriel records conversations via a tape recorder so conversations can later be reviewed by the player to help find clues.</p><p style="">The story is divided up into ten chapters/days, and when the story has sufficiently progressed the day will end and the next chapter will start. It is however possible for the player to miss a necessary clue, item, or action in an earlier part of the game - making the playthrough impossible to finish.</p><p style="">While Gabriel has no health, there are several occurrences in the game that can lead to his death if not handled properly by the player.</p><h2>Presentation</h2><h3>Graphics</h3><p style="">The environments in Gabriel Knight are static; they come in a wide variety of vantage points, and views. Characters are animated simply but convincingly with the use of early age motion capture technology. The game is also interspersed with several short live action clips and comic book panel animations used to progress the story. When entering a conversation, the player is also given a more in depth look at the characters facial features on a black background. These conversations are also lip synced to the voice actors recorded dialogue.</p><h3>Sound</h3><p style="">Gabriel Knight has an extensive Midi Soundtrack that plays throughout the game with each location having it's own distinct background music. Characters, conversations and narration are also fully voiced (CD-ROM version) by voice actors.</p><h2>Characters</h2><ul><li><strong><b>Gabriel Knight</b></strong>: Protagonist, and main character.

Based upon the popular Mexican serial created by Roberto Bolaños, it is a modification of the Master System game Ghost House.</p><p>All characters and items are changed to fit Chapolim's universe. Mick, the hero of Ghost House, is replaced by Chapolim. Armed with his trusty Marreta Biônica (Chipote Chillón in the original, Squeaky Mallet in English), dressed in red and wearing a yellow heart in his chest, he is a comedic character spoof of super heroes.</p><p>The game play consists of platforming on stages in which Chapolim must defeat five vampires, each resting in a different coffin, locked by a key that can be found with exploration. Not only vampires stand in his way, but also mummies, bats, ghosts, man eating flowers and other horror movie clichés. Other than his mallet, Chapolim can jump over enemies and punch them. By jumping and punching the mansion's lights, Chapolim can freeze enemies in place in order to defeat them. Dracula himself shows up at the end of the game, serving as the last boss encounter.</p>',

Developed by Matrix Software and originally published by SCEI in Japan, It was later released by Working Designs in the US and Psygnosis in Europe. In 2010, the Working Designs version was re-released on the Playstation Network by Monkeypaw Games.</p><p>Known as "The Adventures of Alundra" in Europe, the game is viewed from a top-down perspective where the player takes control of a young boy named Alundra who realizes not long into the story that he has the ability to enter people's dreams and reveal their inner demons. The game is a real-time action adventure where enemies can be engaged where they stand with quick weapon strikes and puzzles must be solved using intelligence, skill and agility as the player attempts to navigate the game's numerous settings and landscapes to further the storyline. These action elements are blended with more traditional RPG components such as strengthening Alundra's attributes over time and collecting an array of skills, weapons, armor, and useful items.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Alundra's gameplay is very much in the same vein as the early Zelda games, a top-down 2D world in which the player can move up, down, forwards and backwards. Alundra will encounter enemies in real-time in the environments, and can attack them on the spot using a variety of weapons including swords, flails, bows and wands. The player will acquire these weapons as they progress through the main story, which is both a lengthy campaign and challenging. Alundra has plentiful puzzles, some of which will require the player to pull off some quick moves, and platforming style challenges. Other puzzles require much more thought and attention. The game is well noted for having some extremely difficult puzzles which will challenge even veterans of similar games.</p><h2>Soundtrack</h2><p>Alundra's soundtrack consists of one CD and includes 26 songs in all. Some songs from the game were not included in the game due to them being the same song, but using different instruments. The soundtrack was composed by Kohei Tanaka</p><ol><li>Alundra</li><li>The Village of Inoa</li><li>The Wind That Shook the Earth</li><li>The House of Taran</li><li>Nightmare</li><li>Requiem</li><li>Dungeon</li><li>Murgg Village</li><li>Ra's Underground Hideout</li><li>Desert</li><li>Dream a Dream</li><li>Kline's Dream</li><li>The Lizardman's Liar</li><li>The Use of Meia</li><li>Nirude, the Forgotten God</li><li>Miming, the Insignificant Leader</li><li>Underwater</li><li>The Fire Mountain Torra</li><li>The Child's Dream</li><li>Ronin, the Priest Gone Astray</li><li>The Shrine of the Lake</li><li>The Black Angel Come Forth</li><li>The One Who Hates Man</li><li>The Wrath of God</li><li>Melzas, the Combined God</li><li>Reflecting</li><li>Ending</li><li>Tears (Staff Roll)</li></ol>',

Though it was conceived and partially developed by 3D Realms, prior to its completion the game and all rights were sold to Monolith as detailed in a press release on January 22, 1997. This was ostensibly meant to allow 3D Realms the ability to focus on Shadow Warrior, which was being developed concurrently. Monolith completed the game as well as an expansion pack entitled Blood Plasma Pak, which were both released in 1997 (a second expansion, Cryptic Passage for Blood, was developed by Sunstorm Interactive).</p><p style="">The version of the Build engine used for Blood included a number of upgrades, most prominent being the ability to display voxel-based objects. This feature was used significantly throughout the game in place of flat sprites, highlighting both weapon and item pickups as well as certain environmental objects such as tombstones, chairs, and barrels. Unlike other contemporary Build engine titles, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Blood's source code was never publicly released, thus no source ports exist for it, and it must still be played through its original DOS executable.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1690990-bloodscreen.png" data-ref-id="1300-1690990" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <figcaption>Flying body parts are a common sight in Blood.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The gameplay of Blood is very similar to that of other FPS games of its era such as Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. The player is presented with four episodes, which can be played in any order. Each one consists of eight or nine levels (with one secret level per episode) that the player must fight through, with the last level invariably containing that episode's boss. In addition to combat with various types of enemies, most levels require the use of switches and up to six keys in order to advance to the exit. As was the hallmark of its predecessor, Duke Nukem 3D, levels in Blood often place a high emphasis on interactivity, incorporating numerous destructible elements and various objects that can be interacted with for no reason other than increasing the player's immersion.</p><p style="">True to its name, a significant effort was made to amp up the blood and violence over other Build engine games. Zombies can be decapitated and their heads kicked like soccer balls, various enemies can be set on fire to run screaming throughout the levels, and blood flows copiously from enemies at even the simplest of attacks. The game's health system was also relatively novel. Caleb relies for the most part on Life Essence to heal himself, which is dropped by enemies upon death, rather than on preset health pickups used in most first-person shooters at the time. Another innovative aspect of the game was its weapons. Blood boasts alternate firing modes for a large portion of the game's arsenal (a fairly uncommon feature in 1997), ranging from rather straightforward options like firing both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun to more outlandish ones such as lighting and throwing an aerosol can.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1688925-calebbloodshower.png" data-ref-id="1300-1688925" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>He may be the lead, but Caleb's no white hat.</figcaption></figure><p style="">Blood puts players in the shoes of Caleb, a protagonist much in the same tongue-in-cheek vein as Duke Nukem and Lo Wang. While the Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior franchises focused on satirizing action and martial arts movies respectively, Blood traffics in the tropes and mores of the horror genre. The referential humor of the game draws from many sources, from horror classics like <i>The Shining</i> and <i>Friday the 13th</i>, cult films like <i>Army of Darkness</i>, to non-horror classics such as <i>Jaws</i>. Caleb is the game's anti-hero, a sadist and former cultist on a quest for revenge after being killed by Tchernobog, the evil god he once worshiped. In keeping with the game's darker leanings, Caleb is not portrayed as a particularly empathetic character. He will often laugh gleefully in the midst of slaughtering his foes, and will even willfully kills innocents.</p><p style="">As the game begins, Tchernobog has called his Chosen, Caleb, Ophelia, Ishmael, and Gabriel, to a gathering in the Hall of the Epiphany. When they ask what he desires, they are surprised to find he is displeased with them, and they are quickly set upon by Tchernobog's minions. Ishmael is cremated by Cerberus, Gabriel is carried off by Shial who descends from the ceiling, and Ophelia, Caleb's love, is abducted by Cheogh. Finally, Caleb himself is killed personally by Tchernobog, and buried thereafter.</p><p style="">At the start of the game's first level, "Cradle to Grave," Caleb awakens in his own tomb. Upon returning to life by unknown means, Caleb exclaims "I live... again!" Thus he begins his quest, seeking vengeance for his fallen comrades and knowledge of why his own master would betray him.</p><h2>Levels</h2><h3>Episode 1: The Way of All Flesh</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb searches for his lost love,</i> <i>Ophelia Price</i>, who has been taken by <i>Cheogh</i>.</p><ul><li>E1M1: <b>Cradle to Grave</b></li><li>E1M2: <b>Wrong Side of the Tracks</b></li><li>E1M3: <b>Phantom Express</b></li><li>E1M4: <b>Dark Carnival</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E1M5: <b>Hallowed Grounds</b></li><li>E1M6: <b>The Great Temple</b></li><li>E1M7: <b>Altar of Stone</b> (boss level)</li><li>E1M8: <b>House of Horrors</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 2: Even Death May Die</h3><p style=""><i>In order to discover the fate of his fellow Chosen,</i> <i>Gabriel</i>, Caleb delves into the lair of <i>Shial</i>, the Mother of Spiders.</p><ul><li>E2M1: <b>Shipwrecked</b></li><li>E2M2: <b>The Lumber Mill</b></li><li>E2M3: <b>Rest for the Wicked</b></li><li>E2M4: <b>The Overlooked Hotel</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E2M5: <b>The Haunting</b></li><li>E2M6: <b>The Cold Rush</b></li><li>E2M7: <b>Bowels of the Earth</b></li><li>E2M8: <b>The Lair of Shial</b> (boss level)</li><li>E2M9: <b>Thin Ice</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 3: A Farewell to Arms</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb seeks vengeance on</i> <i>Cerberus</i>, the beast responsible for the death of <i>Ishmael</i>.</p><ul><li>E3M1: <b>Ghost Town</b></li><li>E3M2: <b>The Siege</b></li><li>E3M3: <b>Raw Sewage</b></li><li>E3M4: <b>The Sick Ward</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E3M5: <b>Spare Parts</b></li><li>E3M6: <b>Monster Bait</b></li><li>E3M7: <b>The Pit of Cerberus</b> (boss level)</li><li>E3M8: <b>Catacombs</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 4: Dead Reckoning</h3><p style=""><i>Having slain all of his lieutenants, Caleb sets his sights on the evil Tchernobog himself.</i></p><ul><li>E4M1: <b>Butchery Loves Company</b></li><li>E4M2: <b>Breeding Grounds</b></li><li>E4M3: <b>Charnel House</b></li><li>E4M4: <b>Crystal Lake</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E4M5: <b>Fire and Brimstone</b></li><li>E4M6: <b>The Ganglion Depths</b></li><li>E4M7: <b>In The Flesh</b></li><li>E4M8: <b>The Hall of the Epiphany</b> (boss level)</li><li>E4M9: <b>Mall of the Dead</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h2>Weapons</h2><p style="">Blood shipped originally with twelve weapons, nine of which came with alternate firing modes. The Plasma Pak later added new firing methods to the Incinerator and the Life Leech, which left only the Pitchfork without an alternate mode. While Blood does have a few FPS staples, such as a double barreled shotgun and the Incinerator, a device which is more or less a rocket launcher, a fair number of the game's armaments yield unique and interesting effects.</p><table><tbody><tr><th>Appearance</th><th>Pickup Icon</th><th>Description</th></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813061-transparentpitchfork.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813061" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.4054054054054" data-width="74" style="width: 74px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Pitchfork</figcaption></figure></td><td><ul><li>None (Starting Weapon)</li></ul></td><td><h3>Pitchfork</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Caleb stabs the area directly in front of him.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Produces the same attack as the primary fire button.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: None</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813052-transparentflaregun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813052" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2073170731707" data-width="82" style="width: 82px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813008-transparentflaregunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813008" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.44444444444444" data-width="45" style="width: 45px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Flare Gun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Shoots a single flare which can latch onto an enemy causing damage over time and immolating them if their health is low enough.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Fires a flare that separates into eight individual projectiles that each explode on contact and continue burning enemies afterward.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: Flares</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813048-transparentsawed_offshotgun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813048" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2352941176471" data-width="68" style="width: 68px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813013-transparentsawed_offshotgunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813013" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.22950819672131" data-width="61" style="width: 61px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Sawed-Off Shotgun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Fires a single shell.

Having the Plasma Pak installed also allows these new firing modes to be used in Blood's original episodes.</p><h2>Minimum System Requirements</h2><h3>PC</h3><ul><li>Windows XP / Vista</li><li>1 GHz processor (1.4 GHz recommended)</li><li>256MB RAM (512MB recommended)</li><li>3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended)</li><li>Mouse</li><li>Keyboard</li></ul>',

Created by author and Sierra writer/designer Jane Jensen, Sins Of The Fathers was the first instalment in a new franchise for Sierra in the mid-90s, and marked a more mature turn for the company previously known for the King's Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest series. Far removed from the fairy tale universe of King's Quest and the zany craziness of Space Quest, Gabriel Knight followed an anti-hero plagued by disturbing nightmares through a murder mystery linked to voodoo and his own family's dark, mystical past.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/479074-sierra_008.png" data-ref-id="1300-479074" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="640" style="width: 640px"> <figcaption>A Pub in New Orleans.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The CD-ROM version of the game featured some of the highest production values for a multimedia game at the time, boasting the voice talents of Tim Curry and Mark Hamill among others. The game also featured an outstanding soundtrack for an adventure game of its time, which was composed and performed by Robert Holmes, husband of creator Jane Jensen.</p><p style="">Sins of the Fathers was followed up by Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within, and concluded with Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the damned.</p><p style="">A novel based on the game was also released, and it follows the game closely.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p style="">The gameplay in Gabriel Knight consists of commanding Gabriel entirely via the mouse to interact with people and the environment to unravel the mystery of the Voodoo murders and progress the plot. The player has the Move, Operate, Open, Read, Inspect, Question, Talk to, Push, and Take commands as well as being able to use any items Gabriel has in his inventory on the environment, characters or each other.</p><p style="">Speaking with characters in the game also plays a large role in progressing the story by providing clues and plot points. Conversations are fully voiced and different characters will have different replies depending on plot progression and other circumstances. Gabriel records conversations via a tape recorder so conversations can later be reviewed by the player to help find clues.</p><p style="">The story is divided up into ten chapters/days, and when the story has sufficiently progressed the day will end and the next chapter will start. It is however possible for the player to miss a necessary clue, item, or action in an earlier part of the game - making the playthrough impossible to finish.</p><p style="">While Gabriel has no health, there are several occurrences in the game that can lead to his death if not handled properly by the player.</p><h2>Presentation</h2><h3>Graphics</h3><p style="">The environments in Gabriel Knight are static; they come in a wide variety of vantage points, and views. Characters are animated simply but convincingly with the use of early age motion capture technology. The game is also interspersed with several short live action clips and comic book panel animations used to progress the story. When entering a conversation, the player is also given a more in depth look at the characters facial features on a black background. These conversations are also lip synced to the voice actors recorded dialogue.</p><h3>Sound</h3><p style="">Gabriel Knight has an extensive Midi Soundtrack that plays throughout the game with each location having it's own distinct background music. Characters, conversations and narration are also fully voiced (CD-ROM version) by voice actors.</p><h2>Characters</h2><ul><li><strong><b>Gabriel Knight</b></strong>: Protagonist, and main character.

Based upon the popular Mexican serial created by Roberto Bolaños, it is a modification of the Master System game Ghost House.</p><p>All characters and items are changed to fit Chapolim's universe. Mick, the hero of Ghost House, is replaced by Chapolim. Armed with his trusty Marreta Biônica (Chipote Chillón in the original, Squeaky Mallet in English), dressed in red and wearing a yellow heart in his chest, he is a comedic character spoof of super heroes.</p><p>The game play consists of platforming on stages in which Chapolim must defeat five vampires, each resting in a different coffin, locked by a key that can be found with exploration. Not only vampires stand in his way, but also mummies, bats, ghosts, man eating flowers and other horror movie clichés. Other than his mallet, Chapolim can jump over enemies and punch them. By jumping and punching the mansion's lights, Chapolim can freeze enemies in place in order to defeat them. Dracula himself shows up at the end of the game, serving as the last boss encounter.</p>',

However, the train is attacked by a monster, who kills everyone on board except for the player and a young girl, Naomi. From here on out, the game is pretty much a non-stop chase as the monster pursues the player deeper and deeper into the underground.

			'desc' => '<h2>Overview</h2><p>Alundra is a fantasy action adventure with hand-drawn 2D art that blends traditional action adventure elements with more streamlined exploration mechanics akin to those in the Legend of Zelda franchise. Developed by Matrix Software and originally published by SCEI in Japan, It was later released by Working Designs in the US and Psygnosis in Europe. In 2010, the Working Designs version was re-released on the Playstation Network by Monkeypaw Games.</p><p>Known as "The Adventures of Alundra" in Europe, the game is viewed from a top-down perspective where the player takes control of a young boy named Alundra who realizes not long into the story that he has the ability to enter people's dreams and reveal their inner demons. The game is a real-time action adventure where enemies can be engaged where they stand with quick weapon strikes and puzzles must be solved using intelligence, skill and agility as the player attempts to navigate the game's numerous settings and landscapes to further the storyline. These action elements are blended with more traditional RPG components such as strengthening Alundra's attributes over time and collecting an array of skills, weapons, armor, and useful items.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Alundra's gameplay is very much in the same vein as the early Zelda games, a top-down 2D world in which the player can move up, down, forwards and backwards. Alundra will encounter enemies in real-time in the environments, and can attack them on the spot using a variety of weapons including swords, flails, bows and wands. The player will acquire these weapons as they progress through the main story, which is both a lengthy campaign and challenging. Alundra has plentiful puzzles, some of which will require the player to pull off some quick moves, and platforming style challenges. Other puzzles require much more thought and attention. The game is well noted for having some extremely difficult puzzles which will challenge even veterans of similar games.</p><h2>Soundtrack</h2><p>Alundra's soundtrack consists of one CD and includes 26 songs in all. Some songs from the game were not included in the game due to them being the same song, but using different instruments. The soundtrack was composed by Kohei Tanaka</p><ol><li>Alundra</li><li>The Village of Inoa</li><li>The Wind That Shook the Earth</li><li>The House of Taran</li><li>Nightmare</li><li>Requiem</li><li>Dungeon</li><li>Murgg Village</li><li>Ra's Underground Hideout</li><li>Desert</li><li>Dream a Dream</li><li>Kline's Dream</li><li>The Lizardman's Liar</li><li>The Use of Meia</li><li>Nirude, the Forgotten God</li><li>Miming, the Insignificant Leader</li><li>Underwater</li><li>The Fire Mountain Torra</li><li>The Child's Dream</li><li>Ronin, the Priest Gone Astray</li><li>The Shrine of the Lake</li><li>The Black Angel Come Forth</li><li>The One Who Hates Man</li><li>The Wrath of God</li><li>Melzas, the Combined God</li><li>Reflecting</li><li>Ending</li><li>Tears (Staff Roll)</li></ol>',

Though it was conceived and partially developed by 3D Realms, prior to its completion the game and all rights were sold to Monolith as detailed in a press release on January 22, 1997. This was ostensibly meant to allow 3D Realms the ability to focus on Shadow Warrior, which was being developed concurrently. Monolith completed the game as well as an expansion pack entitled Blood Plasma Pak, which were both released in 1997 (a second expansion, Cryptic Passage for Blood, was developed by Sunstorm Interactive).</p><p style="">The version of the Build engine used for Blood included a number of upgrades, most prominent being the ability to display voxel-based objects. This feature was used significantly throughout the game in place of flat sprites, highlighting both weapon and item pickups as well as certain environmental objects such as tombstones, chairs, and barrels. Unlike other contemporary Build engine titles, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Blood's source code was never publicly released, thus no source ports exist for it, and it must still be played through its original DOS executable.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1690990-bloodscreen.png" data-ref-id="1300-1690990" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <figcaption>Flying body parts are a common sight in Blood.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The gameplay of Blood is very similar to that of other FPS games of its era such as Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. The player is presented with four episodes, which can be played in any order. Each one consists of eight or nine levels (with one secret level per episode) that the player must fight through, with the last level invariably containing that episode's boss. In addition to combat with various types of enemies, most levels require the use of switches and up to six keys in order to advance to the exit. As was the hallmark of its predecessor, Duke Nukem 3D, levels in Blood often place a high emphasis on interactivity, incorporating numerous destructible elements and various objects that can be interacted with for no reason other than increasing the player's immersion.</p><p style="">True to its name, a significant effort was made to amp up the blood and violence over other Build engine games. Zombies can be decapitated and their heads kicked like soccer balls, various enemies can be set on fire to run screaming throughout the levels, and blood flows copiously from enemies at even the simplest of attacks. The game's health system was also relatively novel. Caleb relies for the most part on Life Essence to heal himself, which is dropped by enemies upon death, rather than on preset health pickups used in most first-person shooters at the time. Another innovative aspect of the game was its weapons. Blood boasts alternate firing modes for a large portion of the game's arsenal (a fairly uncommon feature in 1997), ranging from rather straightforward options like firing both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun to more outlandish ones such as lighting and throwing an aerosol can.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1688925-calebbloodshower.png" data-ref-id="1300-1688925" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>He may be the lead, but Caleb's no white hat.</figcaption></figure><p style="">Blood puts players in the shoes of Caleb, a protagonist much in the same tongue-in-cheek vein as Duke Nukem and Lo Wang. While the Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior franchises focused on satirizing action and martial arts movies respectively, Blood traffics in the tropes and mores of the horror genre. The referential humor of the game draws from many sources, from horror classics like <i>The Shining</i> and <i>Friday the 13th</i>, cult films like <i>Army of Darkness</i>, to non-horror classics such as <i>Jaws</i>. Caleb is the game's anti-hero, a sadist and former cultist on a quest for revenge after being killed by Tchernobog, the evil god he once worshiped. In keeping with the game's darker leanings, Caleb is not portrayed as a particularly empathetic character. He will often laugh gleefully in the midst of slaughtering his foes, and will even willfully kills innocents.</p><p style="">As the game begins, Tchernobog has called his Chosen, Caleb, Ophelia, Ishmael, and Gabriel, to a gathering in the Hall of the Epiphany. When they ask what he desires, they are surprised to find he is displeased with them, and they are quickly set upon by Tchernobog's minions. Ishmael is cremated by Cerberus, Gabriel is carried off by Shial who descends from the ceiling, and Ophelia, Caleb's love, is abducted by Cheogh. Finally, Caleb himself is killed personally by Tchernobog, and buried thereafter.</p><p style="">At the start of the game's first level, "Cradle to Grave," Caleb awakens in his own tomb. Upon returning to life by unknown means, Caleb exclaims "I live... again!"

The first group is composed of smaller foes that pose more of an annoyance than a true threat, and can generally be defeated with little firepower.

The last group is comprised of exceedingly rare monsters that are found at the end of each episode.</p><h3><u>Low-Level Enemies</u></h3><table><tbody><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813034-transparentbat.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813034" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.84210526315789" data-width="38" style="width: 38px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Bat</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Bat</h3> Bats only loosely qualify as enemies, as they don't actively seem to be interested in harming the player, and it is only really possible to be injured by one by wandering into its path.

Equipped with a simple axe melee attack and relatively low hit points, they run headlong at the player attempting to hack them to pieces.

The brown-cloaked Cultists have shotguns, while the gray-garbed Fanatics carry tommy guns. Both wield dynamite, and either can cause significant damage any time they have line-of-sight with the player. They will also occasionally go prone in order to avoid return fire.

Both add-ons augmented the original game with an entirely new episode (bringing the total to six), with Plasma Pak also having other notable additions such as new enemies and new firing modes for existing weapons. Having the Plasma Pak installed also allows these new firing modes to be used in Blood's original episodes.</p><h2>Minimum System Requirements</h2><h3>PC</h3><ul><li>Windows XP / Vista</li><li>1 GHz processor (1.4 GHz recommended)</li><li>256MB RAM (512MB recommended)</li><li>3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended)</li><li>Mouse</li><li>Keyboard</li></ul>',

Created by author and Sierra writer/designer Jane Jensen, Sins Of The Fathers was the first instalment in a new franchise for Sierra in the mid-90s, and marked a more mature turn for the company previously known for the King's Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest series. Far removed from the fairy tale universe of King's Quest and the zany craziness of Space Quest, Gabriel Knight followed an anti-hero plagued by disturbing nightmares through a murder mystery linked to voodoo and his own family's dark, mystical past.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/479074-sierra_008.png" data-ref-id="1300-479074" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="640" style="width: 640px"> <figcaption>A Pub in New Orleans.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The CD-ROM version of the game featured some of the highest production values for a multimedia game at the time, boasting the voice talents of Tim Curry and Mark Hamill among others. The game also featured an outstanding soundtrack for an adventure game of its time, which was composed and performed by Robert Holmes, husband of creator Jane Jensen.</p><p style="">Sins of the Fathers was followed up by Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within, and concluded with Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the damned.</p><p style="">A novel based on the game was also released, and it follows the game closely.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p style="">The gameplay in Gabriel Knight consists of commanding Gabriel entirely via the mouse to interact with people and the environment to unravel the mystery of the Voodoo murders and progress the plot. The player has the Move, Operate, Open, Read, Inspect, Question, Talk to, Push, and Take commands as well as being able to use any items Gabriel has in his inventory on the environment, characters or each other.</p><p style="">Speaking with characters in the game also plays a large role in progressing the story by providing clues and plot points. Conversations are fully voiced and different characters will have different replies depending on plot progression and other circumstances. Gabriel records conversations via a tape recorder so conversations can later be reviewed by the player to help find clues.</p><p style="">The story is divided up into ten chapters/days, and when the story has sufficiently progressed the day will end and the next chapter will start. It is however possible for the player to miss a necessary clue, item, or action in an earlier part of the game - making the playthrough impossible to finish.</p><p style="">While Gabriel has no health, there are several occurrences in the game that can lead to his death if not handled properly by the player.</p><h2>Presentation</h2><h3>Graphics</h3><p style="">The environments in Gabriel Knight are static; they come in a wide variety of vantage points, and views. Characters are animated simply but convincingly with the use of early age motion capture technology. The game is also interspersed with several short live action clips and comic book panel animations used to progress the story. When entering a conversation, the player is also given a more in depth look at the characters facial features on a black background. These conversations are also lip synced to the voice actors recorded dialogue.</p><h3>Sound</h3><p style="">Gabriel Knight has an extensive Midi Soundtrack that plays throughout the game with each location having it's own distinct background music. Characters, conversations and narration are also fully voiced (CD-ROM version) by voice actors.</p><h2>Characters</h2><ul><li><strong><b>Gabriel Knight</b></strong>: Protagonist, and main character.

Based upon the popular Mexican serial created by Roberto Bolaños, it is a modification of the Master System game Ghost House.</p><p>All characters and items are changed to fit Chapolim's universe. Mick, the hero of Ghost House, is replaced by Chapolim. Armed with his trusty Marreta Biônica (Chipote Chillón in the original, Squeaky Mallet in English), dressed in red and wearing a yellow heart in his chest, he is a comedic character spoof of super heroes.</p><p>The game play consists of platforming on stages in which Chapolim must defeat five vampires, each resting in a different coffin, locked by a key that can be found with exploration. Not only vampires stand in his way, but also mummies, bats, ghosts, man eating flowers and other horror movie clichés. Other than his mallet, Chapolim can jump over enemies and punch them. By jumping and punching the mansion's lights, Chapolim can freeze enemies in place in order to defeat them. Dracula himself shows up at the end of the game, serving as the last boss encounter.</p>',

However, the train is attacked by a monster, who kills everyone on board except for the player and a young girl, Naomi. From here on out, the game is pretty much a non-stop chase as the monster pursues the player deeper and deeper into the underground. Eventually, the player comes across a mysterious underground civilization known as the Mesh.</p><p style=""> </p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p style="">The player has no weaponry whatsoever with which to defend themselves, and therefore running is pretty much their only chance of survival-- if the pursuing monster catches the player, it's <i>game over</i>. As the player delves deeper and deeper into the underground tunnels beneath the city of  Tokyo, he has to try and find shortcuts in order to try and gain more and more terrain over the creature.</p><p style=""> </p><h2 style="margin-right:0px;margin-left:0px;">TRIVIA</h2><ul><li>Released in Japan as "Dark Messiah".</li></ul>',

			'desc' => '<h2>Overview</h2><p>Alundra is a fantasy action adventure with hand-drawn 2D art that blends traditional action adventure elements with more streamlined exploration mechanics akin to those in the Legend of Zelda franchise. Developed by Matrix Software and originally published by SCEI in Japan, It was later released by Working Designs in the US and Psygnosis in Europe. In 2010, the Working Designs version was re-released on the Playstation Network by Monkeypaw Games.</p><p>Known as "The Adventures of Alundra" in Europe, the game is viewed from a top-down perspective where the player takes control of a young boy named Alundra who realizes not long into the story that he has the ability to enter people's dreams and reveal their inner demons. The game is a real-time action adventure where enemies can be engaged where they stand with quick weapon strikes and puzzles must be solved using intelligence, skill and agility as the player attempts to navigate the game's numerous settings and landscapes to further the storyline. These action elements are blended with more traditional RPG components such as strengthening Alundra's attributes over time and collecting an array of skills, weapons, armor, and useful items.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Alundra's gameplay is very much in the same vein as the early Zelda games, a top-down 2D world in which the player can move up, down, forwards and backwards. Alundra will encounter enemies in real-time in the environments, and can attack them on the spot using a variety of weapons including swords, flails, bows and wands. The player will acquire these weapons as they progress through the main story, which is both a lengthy campaign and challenging. Alundra has plentiful puzzles, some of which will require the player to pull off some quick moves, and platforming style challenges. Other puzzles require much more thought and attention. The game is well noted for having some extremely difficult puzzles which will challenge even veterans of similar games.</p><h2>Soundtrack</h2><p>Alundra's soundtrack consists of one CD and includes 26 songs in all. Some songs from the game were not included in the game due to them being the same song, but using different instruments. The soundtrack was composed by Kohei Tanaka</p><ol><li>Alundra</li><li>The Village of Inoa</li><li>The Wind That Shook the Earth</li><li>The House of Taran</li><li>Nightmare</li><li>Requiem</li><li>Dungeon</li><li>Murgg Village</li><li>Ra's Underground Hideout</li><li>Desert</li><li>Dream a Dream</li><li>Kline's Dream</li><li>The Lizardman's Liar</li><li>The Use of Meia</li><li>Nirude, the Forgotten God</li><li>Miming, the Insignificant Leader</li><li>Underwater</li><li>The Fire Mountain Torra</li><li>The Child's Dream</li><li>Ronin, the Priest Gone Astray</li><li>The Shrine of the Lake</li><li>The Black Angel Come Forth</li><li>The One Who Hates Man</li><li>The Wrath of God</li><li>Melzas, the Combined God</li><li>Reflecting</li><li>Ending</li><li>Tears (Staff Roll)</li></ol>',

Though it was conceived and partially developed by 3D Realms, prior to its completion the game and all rights were sold to Monolith as detailed in a press release on January 22, 1997. This was ostensibly meant to allow 3D Realms the ability to focus on Shadow Warrior, which was being developed concurrently. Monolith completed the game as well as an expansion pack entitled Blood Plasma Pak, which were both released in 1997 (a second expansion, Cryptic Passage for Blood, was developed by Sunstorm Interactive).</p><p style="">The version of the Build engine used for Blood included a number of upgrades, most prominent being the ability to display voxel-based objects. This feature was used significantly throughout the game in place of flat sprites, highlighting both weapon and item pickups as well as certain environmental objects such as tombstones, chairs, and barrels. Unlike other contemporary Build engine titles, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Blood's source code was never publicly released, thus no source ports exist for it, and it must still be played through its original DOS executable.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1690990-bloodscreen.png" data-ref-id="1300-1690990" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <figcaption>Flying body parts are a common sight in Blood.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The gameplay of Blood is very similar to that of other FPS games of its era such as Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. The player is presented with four episodes, which can be played in any order. Each one consists of eight or nine levels (with one secret level per episode) that the player must fight through, with the last level invariably containing that episode's boss. In addition to combat with various types of enemies, most levels require the use of switches and up to six keys in order to advance to the exit. As was the hallmark of its predecessor, Duke Nukem 3D, levels in Blood often place a high emphasis on interactivity, incorporating numerous destructible elements and various objects that can be interacted with for no reason other than increasing the player's immersion.</p><p style="">True to its name, a significant effort was made to amp up the blood and violence over other Build engine games. Zombies can be decapitated and their heads kicked like soccer balls, various enemies can be set on fire to run screaming throughout the levels, and blood flows copiously from enemies at even the simplest of attacks. The game's health system was also relatively novel. Caleb relies for the most part on Life Essence to heal himself, which is dropped by enemies upon death, rather than on preset health pickups used in most first-person shooters at the time. Another innovative aspect of the game was its weapons. Blood boasts alternate firing modes for a large portion of the game's arsenal (a fairly uncommon feature in 1997), ranging from rather straightforward options like firing both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun to more outlandish ones such as lighting and throwing an aerosol can.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1688925-calebbloodshower.png" data-ref-id="1300-1688925" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>He may be the lead, but Caleb's no white hat.</figcaption></figure><p style="">Blood puts players in the shoes of Caleb, a protagonist much in the same tongue-in-cheek vein as Duke Nukem and Lo Wang. While the Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior franchises focused on satirizing action and martial arts movies respectively, Blood traffics in the tropes and mores of the horror genre. The referential humor of the game draws from many sources, from horror classics like <i>The Shining</i> and <i>Friday the 13th</i>, cult films like <i>Army of Darkness</i>, to non-horror classics such as <i>Jaws</i>. Caleb is the game's anti-hero, a sadist and former cultist on a quest for revenge after being killed by Tchernobog, the evil god he once worshiped. In keeping with the game's darker leanings, Caleb is not portrayed as a particularly empathetic character. He will often laugh gleefully in the midst of slaughtering his foes, and will even willfully kills innocents.</p><p style="">As the game begins, Tchernobog has called his Chosen, Caleb, Ophelia, Ishmael, and Gabriel, to a gathering in the Hall of the Epiphany. When they ask what he desires, they are surprised to find he is displeased with them, and they are quickly set upon by Tchernobog's minions. Ishmael is cremated by Cerberus, Gabriel is carried off by Shial who descends from the ceiling, and Ophelia, Caleb's love, is abducted by Cheogh. Finally, Caleb himself is killed personally by Tchernobog, and buried thereafter.</p><p style="">At the start of the game's first level, "Cradle to Grave," Caleb awakens in his own tomb. Upon returning to life by unknown means, Caleb exclaims "I live... again!" Thus he begins his quest, seeking vengeance for his fallen comrades and knowledge of why his own master would betray him.</p><h2>Levels</h2><h3>Episode 1: The Way of All Flesh</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb searches for his lost love,</i> <i>Ophelia Price</i>, who has been taken by <i>Cheogh</i>.</p><ul><li>E1M1: <b>Cradle to Grave</b></li><li>E1M2: <b>Wrong Side of the Tracks</b></li><li>E1M3: <b>Phantom Express</b></li><li>E1M4: <b>Dark Carnival</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E1M5: <b>Hallowed Grounds</b></li><li>E1M6: <b>The Great Temple</b></li><li>E1M7: <b>Altar of Stone</b> (boss level)</li><li>E1M8: <b>House of Horrors</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 2: Even Death May Die</h3><p style=""><i>In order to discover the fate of his fellow Chosen,</i> <i>Gabriel</i>, Caleb delves into the lair of <i>Shial</i>, the Mother of Spiders.</p><ul><li>E2M1: <b>Shipwrecked</b></li><li>E2M2: <b>The Lumber Mill</b></li><li>E2M3: <b>Rest for the Wicked</b></li><li>E2M4: <b>The Overlooked Hotel</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E2M5: <b>The Haunting</b></li><li>E2M6: <b>The Cold Rush</b></li><li>E2M7: <b>Bowels of the Earth</b></li><li>E2M8: <b>The Lair of Shial</b> (boss level)</li><li>E2M9: <b>Thin Ice</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 3: A Farewell to Arms</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb seeks vengeance on</i> <i>Cerberus</i>, the beast responsible for the death of <i>Ishmael</i>.</p><ul><li>E3M1: <b>Ghost Town</b></li><li>E3M2: <b>The Siege</b></li><li>E3M3: <b>Raw Sewage</b></li><li>E3M4: <b>The Sick Ward</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E3M5: <b>Spare Parts</b></li><li>E3M6: <b>Monster Bait</b></li><li>E3M7: <b>The Pit of Cerberus</b> (boss level)</li><li>E3M8: <b>Catacombs</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 4: Dead Reckoning</h3><p style=""><i>Having slain all of his lieutenants, Caleb sets his sights on the evil Tchernobog himself.</i></p><ul><li>E4M1: <b>Butchery Loves Company</b></li><li>E4M2: <b>Breeding Grounds</b></li><li>E4M3: <b>Charnel House</b></li><li>E4M4: <b>Crystal Lake</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E4M5: <b>Fire and Brimstone</b></li><li>E4M6: <b>The Ganglion Depths</b></li><li>E4M7: <b>In The Flesh</b></li><li>E4M8: <b>The Hall of the Epiphany</b> (boss level)</li><li>E4M9: <b>Mall of the Dead</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h2>Weapons</h2><p style="">Blood shipped originally with twelve weapons, nine of which came with alternate firing modes. The Plasma Pak later added new firing methods to the Incinerator and the Life Leech, which left only the Pitchfork without an alternate mode. While Blood does have a few FPS staples, such as a double barreled shotgun and the Incinerator, a device which is more or less a rocket launcher, a fair number of the game's armaments yield unique and interesting effects.</p><table><tbody><tr><th>Appearance</th><th>Pickup Icon</th><th>Description</th></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813061-transparentpitchfork.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813061" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.4054054054054" data-width="74" style="width: 74px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Pitchfork</figcaption></figure></td><td><ul><li>None (Starting Weapon)</li></ul></td><td><h3>Pitchfork</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Caleb stabs the area directly in front of him.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Produces the same attack as the primary fire button.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: None</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813052-transparentflaregun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813052" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2073170731707" data-width="82" style="width: 82px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813008-transparentflaregunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813008" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.44444444444444" data-width="45" style="width: 45px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Flare Gun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Shoots a single flare which can latch onto an enemy causing damage over time and immolating them if their health is low enough.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Fires a flare that separates into eight individual projectiles that each explode on contact and continue burning enemies afterward.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: Flares</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813048-transparentsawed_offshotgun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813048" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2352941176471" data-width="68" style="width: 68px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813013-transparentsawed_offshotgunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813013" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.22950819672131" data-width="61" style="width: 61px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Sawed-Off Shotgun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Fires a single shell.

Far removed from the fairy tale universe of King's Quest and the zany craziness of Space Quest, Gabriel Knight followed an anti-hero plagued by disturbing nightmares through a murder mystery linked to voodoo and his own family's dark, mystical past.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/479074-sierra_008.png" data-ref-id="1300-479074" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="640" style="width: 640px"> <figcaption>A Pub in New Orleans.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The CD-ROM version of the game featured some of the highest production values for a multimedia game at the time, boasting the voice talents of Tim Curry and Mark Hamill among others.

The player has the Move, Operate, Open, Read, Inspect, Question, Talk to, Push, and Take commands as well as being able to use any items Gabriel has in his inventory on the environment, characters or each other.</p><p style="">Speaking with characters in the game also plays a large role in progressing the story by providing clues and plot points. Conversations are fully voiced and different characters will have different replies depending on plot progression and other circumstances. Gabriel records conversations via a tape recorder so conversations can later be reviewed by the player to help find clues.</p><p style="">The story is divided up into ten chapters/days, and when the story has sufficiently progressed the day will end and the next chapter will start. It is however possible for the player to miss a necessary clue, item, or action in an earlier part of the game - making the playthrough impossible to finish.</p><p style="">While Gabriel has no health, there are several occurrences in the game that can lead to his death if not handled properly by the player.</p><h2>Presentation</h2><h3>Graphics</h3><p style="">The environments in Gabriel Knight are static; they come in a wide variety of vantage points, and views. Characters are animated simply but convincingly with the use of early age motion capture technology. The game is also interspersed with several short live action clips and comic book panel animations used to progress the story. When entering a conversation, the player is also given a more in depth look at the characters facial features on a black background. These conversations are also lip synced to the voice actors recorded dialogue.</p><h3>Sound</h3><p style="">Gabriel Knight has an extensive Midi Soundtrack that plays throughout the game with each location having it's own distinct background music. Characters, conversations and narration are also fully voiced (CD-ROM version) by voice actors.</p><h2>Characters</h2><ul><li><strong><b>Gabriel Knight</b></strong>: Protagonist, and main character.

Based upon the popular Mexican serial created by Roberto Bolaños, it is a modification of the Master System game Ghost House.</p><p>All characters and items are changed to fit Chapolim's universe. Mick, the hero of Ghost House, is replaced by Chapolim. Armed with his trusty Marreta Biônica (Chipote Chillón in the original, Squeaky Mallet in English), dressed in red and wearing a yellow heart in his chest, he is a comedic character spoof of super heroes.</p><p>The game play consists of platforming on stages in which Chapolim must defeat five vampires, each resting in a different coffin, locked by a key that can be found with exploration. Not only vampires stand in his way, but also mummies, bats, ghosts, man eating flowers and other horror movie clichés. Other than his mallet, Chapolim can jump over enemies and punch them. By jumping and punching the mansion's lights, Chapolim can freeze enemies in place in order to defeat them. Dracula himself shows up at the end of the game, serving as the last boss encounter.</p>',

			'desc' => '<h2>Overview</h2><p>Alundra is a fantasy action adventure with hand-drawn 2D art that blends traditional action adventure elements with more streamlined exploration mechanics akin to those in the Legend of Zelda franchise. Developed by Matrix Software and originally published by SCEI in Japan, It was later released by Working Designs in the US and Psygnosis in Europe. In 2010, the Working Designs version was re-released on the Playstation Network by Monkeypaw Games.</p><p>Known as "The Adventures of Alundra" in Europe, the game is viewed from a top-down perspective where the player takes control of a young boy named Alundra who realizes not long into the story that he has the ability to enter people's dreams and reveal their inner demons. The game is a real-time action adventure where enemies can be engaged where they stand with quick weapon strikes and puzzles must be solved using intelligence, skill and agility as the player attempts to navigate the game's numerous settings and landscapes to further the storyline. These action elements are blended with more traditional RPG components such as strengthening Alundra's attributes over time and collecting an array of skills, weapons, armor, and useful items.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Alundra's gameplay is very much in the same vein as the early Zelda games, a top-down 2D world in which the player can move up, down, forwards and backwards. Alundra will encounter enemies in real-time in the environments, and can attack them on the spot using a variety of weapons including swords, flails, bows and wands. The player will acquire these weapons as they progress through the main story, which is both a lengthy campaign and challenging. Alundra has plentiful puzzles, some of which will require the player to pull off some quick moves, and platforming style challenges. Other puzzles require much more thought and attention. The game is well noted for having some extremely difficult puzzles which will challenge even veterans of similar games.</p><h2>Soundtrack</h2><p>Alundra's soundtrack consists of one CD and includes 26 songs in all. Some songs from the game were not included in the game due to them being the same song, but using different instruments.

Though it was conceived and partially developed by 3D Realms, prior to its completion the game and all rights were sold to Monolith as detailed in a press release on January 22, 1997. This was ostensibly meant to allow 3D Realms the ability to focus on Shadow Warrior, which was being developed concurrently. Monolith completed the game as well as an expansion pack entitled Blood Plasma Pak, which were both released in 1997 (a second expansion, Cryptic Passage for Blood, was developed by Sunstorm Interactive).</p><p style="">The version of the Build engine used for Blood included a number of upgrades, most prominent being the ability to display voxel-based objects. This feature was used significantly throughout the game in place of flat sprites, highlighting both weapon and item pickups as well as certain environmental objects such as tombstones, chairs, and barrels. Unlike other contemporary Build engine titles, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Blood's source code was never publicly released, thus no source ports exist for it, and it must still be played through its original DOS executable.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1690990-bloodscreen.png" data-ref-id="1300-1690990" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <figcaption>Flying body parts are a common sight in Blood.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The gameplay of Blood is very similar to that of other FPS games of its era such as Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. The player is presented with four episodes, which can be played in any order. Each one consists of eight or nine levels (with one secret level per episode) that the player must fight through, with the last level invariably containing that episode's boss. In addition to combat with various types of enemies, most levels require the use of switches and up to six keys in order to advance to the exit. As was the hallmark of its predecessor, Duke Nukem 3D, levels in Blood often place a high emphasis on interactivity, incorporating numerous destructible elements and various objects that can be interacted with for no reason other than increasing the player's immersion.</p><p style="">True to its name, a significant effort was made to amp up the blood and violence over other Build engine games. Zombies can be decapitated and their heads kicked like soccer balls, various enemies can be set on fire to run screaming throughout the levels, and blood flows copiously from enemies at even the simplest of attacks. The game's health system was also relatively novel. Caleb relies for the most part on Life Essence to heal himself, which is dropped by enemies upon death, rather than on preset health pickups used in most first-person shooters at the time. Another innovative aspect of the game was its weapons. Blood boasts alternate firing modes for a large portion of the game's arsenal (a fairly uncommon feature in 1997), ranging from rather straightforward options like firing both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun to more outlandish ones such as lighting and throwing an aerosol can.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1688925-calebbloodshower.png" data-ref-id="1300-1688925" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="512" style="width: 512px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>He may be the lead, but Caleb's no white hat.</figcaption></figure><p style="">Blood puts players in the shoes of Caleb, a protagonist much in the same tongue-in-cheek vein as Duke Nukem and Lo Wang. While the Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior franchises focused on satirizing action and martial arts movies respectively, Blood traffics in the tropes and mores of the horror genre. The referential humor of the game draws from many sources, from horror classics like <i>The Shining</i> and <i>Friday the 13th</i>, cult films like <i>Army of Darkness</i>, to non-horror classics such as <i>Jaws</i>. Caleb is the game's anti-hero, a sadist and former cultist on a quest for revenge after being killed by Tchernobog, the evil god he once worshiped. In keeping with the game's darker leanings, Caleb is not portrayed as a particularly empathetic character. He will often laugh gleefully in the midst of slaughtering his foes, and will even willfully kills innocents.</p><p style="">As the game begins, Tchernobog has called his Chosen, Caleb, Ophelia, Ishmael, and Gabriel, to a gathering in the Hall of the Epiphany. When they ask what he desires, they are surprised to find he is displeased with them, and they are quickly set upon by Tchernobog's minions. Ishmael is cremated by Cerberus, Gabriel is carried off by Shial who descends from the ceiling, and Ophelia, Caleb's love, is abducted by Cheogh. Finally, Caleb himself is killed personally by Tchernobog, and buried thereafter.</p><p style="">At the start of the game's first level, "Cradle to Grave," Caleb awakens in his own tomb. Upon returning to life by unknown means, Caleb exclaims "I live... again!" Thus he begins his quest, seeking vengeance for his fallen comrades and knowledge of why his own master would betray him.</p><h2>Levels</h2><h3>Episode 1: The Way of All Flesh</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb searches for his lost love,</i> <i>Ophelia Price</i>, who has been taken by <i>Cheogh</i>.</p><ul><li>E1M1: <b>Cradle to Grave</b></li><li>E1M2: <b>Wrong Side of the Tracks</b></li><li>E1M3: <b>Phantom Express</b></li><li>E1M4: <b>Dark Carnival</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E1M5: <b>Hallowed Grounds</b></li><li>E1M6: <b>The Great Temple</b></li><li>E1M7: <b>Altar of Stone</b> (boss level)</li><li>E1M8: <b>House of Horrors</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 2: Even Death May Die</h3><p style=""><i>In order to discover the fate of his fellow Chosen,</i> <i>Gabriel</i>, Caleb delves into the lair of <i>Shial</i>, the Mother of Spiders.</p><ul><li>E2M1: <b>Shipwrecked</b></li><li>E2M2: <b>The Lumber Mill</b></li><li>E2M3: <b>Rest for the Wicked</b></li><li>E2M4: <b>The Overlooked Hotel</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E2M5: <b>The Haunting</b></li><li>E2M6: <b>The Cold Rush</b></li><li>E2M7: <b>Bowels of the Earth</b></li><li>E2M8: <b>The Lair of Shial</b> (boss level)</li><li>E2M9: <b>Thin Ice</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 3: A Farewell to Arms</h3><p style=""><i>Caleb seeks vengeance on</i> <i>Cerberus</i>, the beast responsible for the death of <i>Ishmael</i>.</p><ul><li>E3M1: <b>Ghost Town</b></li><li>E3M2: <b>The Siege</b></li><li>E3M3: <b>Raw Sewage</b></li><li>E3M4: <b>The Sick Ward</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E3M5: <b>Spare Parts</b></li><li>E3M6: <b>Monster Bait</b></li><li>E3M7: <b>The Pit of Cerberus</b> (boss level)</li><li>E3M8: <b>Catacombs</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h3>Episode 4: Dead Reckoning</h3><p style=""><i>Having slain all of his lieutenants, Caleb sets his sights on the evil Tchernobog himself.</i></p><ul><li>E4M1: <b>Butchery Loves Company</b></li><li>E4M2: <b>Breeding Grounds</b></li><li>E4M3: <b>Charnel House</b></li><li>E4M4: <b>Crystal Lake</b> (entrance to secret level)</li><li>E4M5: <b>Fire and Brimstone</b></li><li>E4M6: <b>The Ganglion Depths</b></li><li>E4M7: <b>In The Flesh</b></li><li>E4M8: <b>The Hall of the Epiphany</b> (boss level)</li><li>E4M9: <b>Mall of the Dead</b> (secret level)</li></ul><h2>Weapons</h2><p style="">Blood shipped originally with twelve weapons, nine of which came with alternate firing modes. The Plasma Pak later added new firing methods to the Incinerator and the Life Leech, which left only the Pitchfork without an alternate mode. While Blood does have a few FPS staples, such as a double barreled shotgun and the Incinerator, a device which is more or less a rocket launcher, a fair number of the game's armaments yield unique and interesting effects.</p><table><tbody><tr><th>Appearance</th><th>Pickup Icon</th><th>Description</th></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813061-transparentpitchfork.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813061" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.4054054054054" data-width="74" style="width: 74px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Pitchfork</figcaption></figure></td><td><ul><li>None (Starting Weapon)</li></ul></td><td><h3>Pitchfork</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Caleb stabs the area directly in front of him.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Produces the same attack as the primary fire button.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: None</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813052-transparentflaregun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813052" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2073170731707" data-width="82" style="width: 82px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813008-transparentflaregunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813008" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.44444444444444" data-width="45" style="width: 45px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Flare Gun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Flare Gun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Shoots a single flare which can latch onto an enemy causing damage over time and immolating them if their health is low enough.</li><li><b>Secondary Fire</b>: Fires a flare that separates into eight individual projectiles that each explode on contact and continue burning enemies afterward.</li><li><b>Ammo</b>: Flares</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813048-transparentsawed_offshotgun.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813048" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="1.2352941176471" data-width="68" style="width: 68px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun</figcaption></figure></td><td><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/118253/1813013-transparentsawed_offshotgunpickup.png" data-ref-id="1300-1813013" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.22950819672131" data-width="61" style="width: 61px"> <noscript> </noscript><figcaption>Sawed-Off Shotgun Pickup</figcaption></figure></td><td><h3>Sawed-Off Shotgun</h3><ul><li><b>Primary Fire</b>: Fires a single shell.

Having the Plasma Pak installed also allows these new firing modes to be used in Blood's original episodes.</p><h2>Minimum System Requirements</h2><h3>PC</h3><ul><li>Windows XP / Vista</li><li>1 GHz processor (1.4 GHz recommended)</li><li>256MB RAM (512MB recommended)</li><li>3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended)</li><li>Mouse</li><li>Keyboard</li></ul>',

Created by author and Sierra writer/designer Jane Jensen, Sins Of The Fathers was the first instalment in a new franchise for Sierra in the mid-90s, and marked a more mature turn for the company previously known for the King's Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest series. Far removed from the fairy tale universe of King's Quest and the zany craziness of Space Quest, Gabriel Knight followed an anti-hero plagued by disturbing nightmares through a murder mystery linked to voodoo and his own family's dark, mystical past.</p><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/15568/479074-sierra_008.png" data-ref-id="1300-479074" data-size="small" data-resize-url="" data-resized="" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.625" data-width="640" style="width: 640px"> <figcaption>A Pub in New Orleans.</figcaption></figure><p style="">The CD-ROM version of the game featured some of the highest production values for a multimedia game at the time, boasting the voice talents of Tim Curry and Mark Hamill among others. The game also featured an outstanding soundtrack for an adventure game of its time, which was composed and performed by Robert Holmes, husband of creator Jane Jensen.</p><p style="">Sins of the Fathers was followed up by Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within, and concluded with Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the damned.</p><p style="">A novel based on the game was also released, and it follows the game closely.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p style="">The gameplay in Gabriel Knight consists of commanding Gabriel entirely via the mouse to interact with people and the environment to unravel the mystery of the Voodoo murders and progress the plot. The player has the Move, Operate, Open, Read, Inspect, Question, Talk to, Push, and Take commands as well as being able to use any items Gabriel has in his inventory on the environment, characters or each other.</p><p style="">Speaking with characters in the game also plays a large role in progressing the story by providing clues and plot points. Conversations are fully voiced and different characters will have different replies depending on plot progression and other circumstances. Gabriel records conversations via a tape recorder so conversations can later be reviewed by the player to help find clues.</p><p style="">The story is divided up into ten chapters/days, and when the story has sufficiently progressed the day will end and the next chapter will start. It is however possible for the player to miss a necessary clue, item, or action in an earlier part of the game - making the playthrough impossible to finish.</p><p style="">While Gabriel has no health, there are several occurrences in the game that can lead to his death if not handled properly by the player.</p><h2>Presentation</h2><h3>Graphics</h3><p style="">The environments in Gabriel Knight are static; they come in a wide variety of vantage points, and views. Characters are animated simply but convincingly with the use of early age motion capture technology. The game is also interspersed with several short live action clips and comic book panel animations used to progress the story. When entering a conversation, the player is also given a more in depth look at the characters facial features on a black background. These conversations are also lip synced to the voice actors recorded dialogue.</p><h3>Sound</h3><p style="">Gabriel Knight has an extensive Midi Soundtrack that plays throughout the game with each location having it's own distinct background music. Characters, conversations and narration are also fully voiced (CD-ROM version) by voice actors.</p><h2>Characters</h2><ul><li><strong><b>Gabriel Knight</b></strong>: Protagonist, and main character.

Mick, the hero of Ghost House, is replaced by Chapolim. Armed with his trusty Marreta Biônica (Chipote Chillón in the original, Squeaky Mallet in English), dressed in red and wearing a yellow heart in his chest, he is a comedic character spoof of super heroes.</p><p>The game play consists of platforming on stages in which Chapolim must defeat five vampires, each resting in a different coffin, locked by a key that can be found with exploration. Not only vampires stand in his way, but also mummies, bats, ghosts, man eating flowers and other horror movie clichés. Other than his mallet, Chapolim can jump over enemies and punch them. By jumping and punching the mansion's lights, Chapolim can freeze enemies in place in order to defeat them. Dracula himself shows up at the end of the game, serving as the last boss encounter.</p>',
