- The Longest Journey - Breath taking Click-And-Point adventure with an absorbing SciFi-Medieval-Age mix story
- Monkey Island series - Probably best humor in a computer game (only the latest game - Monkey Island 4 - sucked)
- Mafia - Great Story, realistic world, a bit crazy FreeRide-Mode (CDs don't work anymore!!)
- Jagged Alliance - Most exciting round based action strategy game
- Yagger - Unique 3D-shooter air battle game, has a little bit the style of Aquanox.
