Taxi Journey - A unique adventure game and a platformer (Kickstarter)


Game Type : Adventure/Platformer
Developer/Project By : Lexis Numerique
Kickstarter Goal : $130,000
Developer Quote :  A cross between an adventure game and a platformer set in a universe that combines charm, humor and mystery.
Game Info Quote : Taxi Journey is an original game somewhere between an adventure game and a puzzle game. The aim of this game is to get Zoe to her destination by bypassing various obstacles using the laws of physics (dexterity), finding solutions to situations (puzzles) and interacting with various characters - but only by working together will Gino and Zoe succeed. While Gino is at the wheel, Zoe can throw magic projectiles or put up her protective umbrella – the two characters make a perfect team. Like Limbo, Braid or Machinarium, Taxi Journey relies on dexterity and thought processes. But in Taxi Journey, we are keen to focus on the story and the “adventure” dimension. As you advance in the game by solving puzzles and bypassing obstacles, we also want you to be moved by Gino and Zoe’s budding friendship and feel genuinely concerned about their plight.

Globdule - There's alot of Cute in this Amiga Platformer (PC Playable)


Game Type : Platformer
Launcher Developer :  The Company.pl 
Game Info : Globdule was an Amiga scrolling screen platformer game released in 1993 by Psygnosis. Your character has the rather funny name of Globdule, and with such games as Putty and Superfrog before it, the developers took the squishy blob character, made him purple, and re-invented the genre! The story goes that Globdule was a failed attempt at making a new toy for children, and he was scrapped. But not to be a complete failure, the little purple blob goes on an adventure to find the toy maker and ask him why. This Platformer gave you the ability to stick to everything in the game, but you had no weapons. Enemies and other such danger areas must be avoided. The levels are long and fustrating with many gamers being unable to actually complete the game due to certain fustrations. Yet it's well worth reliving those days and being all nostaligic. Thanks to The Company.pl, which have just released/updated to version 2.6 you can now play this on your PC.

Launcher Developer :  The Company.pl 
Games Included :  Battle Isle, Battle Isle '93: The Moon of Chromos, Battle Isle: Scenario Disk 1 - Air-Land-Sea, Historyline 1914-1918
Game Info : I'd very surprised if anyone of this era hasn't heard of Battle Isle which was a series of turn-based tactics computer games developed in the 1990s by Blue Byte Software. Battle Isle also appeared on the PC anyway, but today it's the Amiga version. The game is hexed based, and you have the ability to move powerful war units onto different areas of the screen via the hexes. The game was fantastic fun for it's time and still is today, yet it was also a game that put the user deep in thought for his next move. Should the player move to surround his enemy or use all the weaponry at his means to pile in for a first strike. The missions also changed from attack, to defending a specific area. There's a lot more to this game and it all takes place on a fictional planet, Chromos. You can now play this game on your PC via a single file in a slightly higher graphical overtone, thanks to The Company.pl, which have just released/updated to version 2.6

The game is available to play on your PC via a single file in a slightly higher graphical overtone, thanks to The Company.pl, which have just released/updated to version 2.6
