Guns, and fists, for hire

Article Abstract:

In Oni, the player assumes the character of a young women, Konoko who is battling a group called the Syndicate. There are fourteen missions. Oni is noteworthy for its use of both weapons and hand-to-hand skills in combat. The game is realistic in that Konoko can carry only one weapon at a time; and captured cartridges are minus the rounds spent shooting at you. The backround graphics were a bit static. But overall playing Oni was a satisfying experience.

Inside a bomber, a window seat for the war

Article Abstract:

B-17 Flying Fortress: the Mighty 8th is noteworthy because the player can assume any bomber crew role or none while playing. The war simulation game re-enacts World War II USAF bombing missions over Germany, starting from a UK airfield. The flexibility allows players who aren't interested in flying a plane alternative roles. The game might've had an added dimension if it included a multiplayer feature.
