Mickey's Space Adventure DFS - Hokuto Force re-releases a classic C64 adventure

In 1984 Sierra Entertainment in a collaboration with Disney, released 'Mickey's Space Adventure'; a graphic adventure computer game starring two of my favourite childhood characters, Mickey and Pluto. In a game intended for children you play in an adventure of family fun, as you must search planets and moons and find the pieces of a precious crystal, lost from an Alien race and which must be found. Thanks to Hokuto Force, this childhood adventure has been re-released with an air cheat!

CaesarIA - Caesar III new open source remake announced via Steam Greenlight!

Although the development of CaesarIA has been ongoing since last year, it wasn't until it appeared on the Steam Greenlight page today that it caught my eye. CaesarIA is an open source remake of a classic management, strategy game called Caesar III from Impressions Games and published by Sierra Entertainment. A game that took many hours of my life away in enjoyment, a game that reflects upon the life of the Roman citizen. In other words, you are in control of Roman life, build for them, develop the city and be the best provincial governor, charged with spreading the glory of Rome. CaesarIA improves upon the great classic with further fixes and additions, but you will need the original Caesar III game to play.

[Kickstarter] Mage's Initiation - Adventure/RPG title

The success of Kickstarter has allowed the rather forlorn and obscure PC adventure genre to have somewhat of a Renaissance of late. This may be due to the rather low production costs involved to create a title and perhaps a reason we're seeing a spurt of successful projects in the genre.

Hoping to become another such title is 'Mage's Initiation' by Himalaya Studios, with the legacy of titles such as Quest for Glory and the King's Quest series, its modest target of $65,000 has already passed the halfway mark in a mere 24 hours.
