Role-playing (RPG)

Simulator

You take the role of a wolf and live you life in the forests of North America, performing duties that real life wolves share, such as hunting, raising pups, and defending your territory. There are several maps to choose from, and many environmental and game play settings are customization, in a sandbox-like fashion. There are no ultimate goals, it is open world and you may do as you please.

Disney's Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers: The Adventure in Nimnul's Castle

Adventures in Nimnul's Castle is an action game were the player must guide the chipmunk characters Chip and Dale through nine levels while avoiding enemies and obstacles. Each level takes place in one of three locations: outside the castle, on the castle steps, and inside the castle proper, with the stage objectives varying between them, such as simply avoiding all enemies while moving across the screen or collecting items such as screws. The player is awarded points for each successful objective they complete, and has three attempts to make it through the game. Short cutscenes appear at the beginning and end of the game, as well as after certain levels

Shooter

Hack

The object of the game is to delve into a dungeon to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor, and perish with as much game points as possible. The player can start out with a different ability set, such as Wizard or Cave(wo)man. The player confronts various monsters: hobgoblins, leprechauns, acid blobs, bats, centaurs, chameleons, dragons, ghosts, imps, trolls, and has weapons, armor, potions, wands, rings and special items to aid in this, e.g. related to fire there is a scroll, a ring, a monster and a wand, and their interplay is to be discovered.

There is time pressure because you die if your food runs out, food is scattered around the dungeon. There is a limit to what you can carry, forcing you to leave valuable items behind. The gold and gems you carry when you die increases your score, but it is heavy too.

The player must enter Hell to recover the Amulet. Entering Hell for the uninitiated just means that "you burn to a crisp". (In NetHack, Hell is renamed.)

The player encounters special rooms such as shops, crypts, and vaults. Other spatial elements in the game are traps and swamps. As your experience grows, so are your abilities, score and the need for food.

Retrieving the Amulet doesn't guarantee you the high score. After all the Amulet is just a very valuable gem.
