Black and White: Hardcore political sim based on a rather cynical view of a political system. As a member of parliament, congress or a one of the top people in a State, can you rack up enough pork and achieve enough to eventually become elected President, or Prime Minister? So named because the two political parties were named the Black and White parties, even though they often played nearly identically.

Neverwinter Nights: Intense, Pornographic game--one of the first to try to mix porn and gameplay. Scandalized Electronic Arts as a result; by all accounts this wasn't that good a game, either.

Custer's Revenge: One of the best wargame adaptations, Custer's Revenge was an overview of the very assymteric fighting between the United States and various Indian bands. Using the powerful engine designed for the British Wargame "Balance of Power", Custer's Revenge would later spawn sequels "Pac Man", which tweaked it into a very interesting turn based football game, and Mary Kate's and Ashely's Sweet 16--which was an poorly considered 'girls got gunz' take on the genre.

Earthbound: FPS game about escaping from Mars and getting back to Earth.

Republic: The Revolution: Louis XVI rules France with an iron fist and taxes are out of control. Take sides in this intense poltical sim and achieve several outcomes, including a successful democracy, reinstating the King, Getting France owned by the iinvading Austrian Army, or, worst of all, utterly trashing France as it gets partitoned by its neighbors.

Dreadnaught Factor: Excellent WW1 era UK Wargame, so named for the innovative use of warships in some of the missions, like Gallipoli.

Grand Theft Auto: (atari 2600), set in a police station where you play as a well renound car thief who has just been arrested. The objective is to get the highest possible score which is increased as time goes on, letting go of the button ends the game. The first level has you sitting in the back of the police cruiser of the cop who busted you, the next level has you sitting in the police station while being booked, then the court house as you wait to be arraigned, and then the final level is set in the prison while awaiting parole in 5 years. Completing the last level gets you a phone number to call which allows you to be mailed a bumper sticker. The sequel featured random instances where the player must release the button and press it again in response to chritisims that some players just taped town their joystic button and left the game running.

Panzer Commander: a WWII tank simulater/arcade shooter where the player commands a German tank during the war in the Eastern front. The player can choose from any model of German tank from the war, including the P1000 ratte, which is nearly impervious to enemy fire and can shoot smaller tanks at the enemy with his cannon. The objective was to make it all the way to Moscow in one peice without running out of ammunition or fuel. The cheif complaint about the game was that the only tank capable of making it to the objective without being destroyed was the ratte which happened to run out of fuel after approximately 5 minutes of play, the creators responded that it was the most historically accurate WWII based video game of the time so players should study history more before complaining.

Castlevania- Wartime strategy game for the Atari 7800 ProSystem where you control a castle in medieval Romania and lead your armies to victory and conquer the castles of the enemy.

Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest - An attempt at adding greater plot to the Castlevania series, in this game you play as exiled Prince Simon, who with a rag-tag band must take back the fortress of your evil cousin, and then go from there to more traditional Castlevania gameplay and re-unite Romania. Poorly received.

Castlevania 3: Dracula's Quest - A "rethinking" of Castlevania 2's plot, which adds supernatural elements, most notably replacing your evil cousin with Dracula, and the enemy princes with vampires. Criticized by some fans of the original Castlevania, but a large seller that would decide the direction of the series.

Super Castlevania "IV" - The first Castlevania for the Atari 9600 HyperSystem, it was a remake of Castlevania 1 with the addition of the supernatural elements from Castlevania 3.

Castlevania: Dracula X - This game brought the Castlevania series to the modern day, in which you must take on the Romanian dictator who is revealed to be the tenth reincarnation of Dracula, and then command the armies of Romania to wipe out the resistance.

Castlevania: Dracula X: Rondo of Blood - This game for the portable Atari 9100 StarSystem was a fighting game that used characters from Dracula X and Super Castlevania IV.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - A dramatic change of the series, as this game you play as a prince who goes to reclaim the throne of his father... revealing only part of the way through that you are in fact the first reincarnation of Dracula.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon - The sequel to SOTN, this game brought the series to the Atari 12000 NeoSystem and in stunning 3d battle scenes, as you command the armies of Hungary against the armies of Dracula II from the previous game. The "action sequences" have been eliminated and the game returns the series to it's strategy roots.

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance - This game is often seen as being merely an "expansion pack" for Circle of the Moon, it shows the united kingdoms of Hungary and Romania going against the Byzantine Empire, which is logically enough revealed as being led by Satan. (initially this was the Turkish Empire, but was changed to avoid being anti-Muslim) You are forced to ally with the surviving vampires to take down a far greater foe.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow - Immediately after Harmony of Dissonance, the armies of Hungary turned on their allied vampires to wipe them off of the face of the earth. To make matters worse, the third reincarnation of Dracula has been discovered in the feudal domains of Lord Roderick of Bosnia as a small child. As said Lord, you must decide whether to support the King of Hungary or the vampires. Though, these two paths converge in the game's ending, which leaves much up to question.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - This game refuses to clear up AoS's ambiguous ending by instead jumping to the future, as a sequel to Dracula X, now on the Atari 14000 X-System. As the leader of the Romanian Commonwealth, you are urged on by your advisors to crush the Greeks in what seems like a modernized version of Harmony of Dissonance. However, it proves to be much darker than that, when your advisors prove to be vampiric agents. Later, the first Castlevania to be ported off of an Atari system when it is brought to the Sega Pluto.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin - In the nuclear aftermath of Dawn of Sorrow, the Balkan peninsula has become a ruin. People cry out for a savior, and they have found on, in the shadowy figure known only as Arucado. (which may have supposed to have been Alucard) As the commander of the surviving Romanian forces, you must decide whether to support this man, or to go against him.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia - The first true portable Castlevania game, for the Commodore Ami, taking place in the wide gap between Aria of Sorrow and Dracula X, you command an expeditionary force of the Catholic Empire on their quest to take down the vampire-led Transylvanian Empire.

Wonder what kind of petty concern the suburbanite can have

My country often rewrites UN conventions to suit their own biases, which is what I get for living in the People's Framework Association of Independent yet Socially Dependent Individuals.
