Total Soccer is a Windows 95 arcade soccer game, designed from the start with only playability in mind. A step back to the 'good old days' of 16-bit games, but a step forward for PC soccer games!

Like real soccer, Total Soccer is a game of skill, and as such will take some time to get to grips, and even longer to master. Also like real soccer, and unlike most other PC soccer games, the ball is not magically glued to the end of the players boot. This allows for greater freedom of movement, and allows real touch football to be played, with glancing headers, blocks and flick-ons all not only possible, but simple to achieve.

Virtual Jigsaw is a CD-ROM game that combines the interactivity of your home computer with the challenge of solving jigsaw puzzles.

Research new weapons technologies, design and customise the ultimate war machines, and sell your mercenary services to the highest bidder. Build field bases, manufacture your weapons and defences, and annihilate the enemy. If your budget gets too tight to construct the awesome tank-flattening machines of destruction you need, then re-invest some of your earnings in the stock market. It's just another day at the office.
