Passed! I remember those old games back in their days. Wacky Wheels was
fun. No, I am not going to get and play it again. I couldn't get into
Warhammer games from their free weekends.

We're back. Did you miss us? Us being me and the llamas (and the
beavants too, but they're staying in the background this year for some reason. DO NOT QUESTION THE BEAVANTS!). The llamas are still
recovering from their sore throat, but I expect they'll be better
soon; I know you are all _eagerly_ waiting for more caroling. Until
then, you'll just have to settle for free games.
It's the return of more duplicate (and unwanted DOS?) games, plus a
more modern game to soothe the picky. We'll start with the old games
first.

Another classic Apogee platformer. Guide grumpy Baron
Baldric through a haunted castle. This one utilized a -at
the time somewhat unique- isometric view that was
actually quite revolutionary for the time. It's a bit
more focused on role-playing and puzzling than the
earlier "Hocus Pocus", but it's still largely an action
game. It's not my favorite, but even back in 1994 I
found it intriguingly unique. It's an old game, so no
obfuscated keys this time:
Key 1: RC6DG-K38XT-V3M6 and Key 2: EEMX7-5G7FY-I07ZZ

"Wacky Wheels" was an unabashed "Mario Kart" clone,
except you could play it on your PC. Myself, I never
really liked kart-racer games but this one was a fairly
good imitation. Technically it was superior to what you
could play on the SNES; I'm not really able to judge
whether it was mechanically superior. Even so, I think
it's still pretty fun, despite its age. If you're a fan
of the genre and don't mind throw-back games, I think
"Wacky Wheels" is worth a look. No obfuscation (and
anyway I'm too lazy to try and hide two separate keys)
Key 1: XV0N8-KDAXG-8DK53 and Key 2: Y8LPZ-AP2RI-KGFYY
* Warhammer 40K: Battlesector https://store.steampowered.com/app/1295500/Warhammer_40000_Battlesector/
Really, whether you like this game or not will pretty 8MCEZ
much depend on how you feel about Warhammer 40K.It's a
fine turn-based strategy game but it doesn't otherwise
stand out in the genre. It's really the setting that 687LA
makes it unique, and if you don't care for the grimdark
struggle of Spess Mahreen versus Tyrannids, then you'll
probably think the game rather average. Anyway, I liked
it; I thought it got a bit repetitive near the end, but
the sheer glut of Warhammer games probably influenced
that. Give it a try. For the Emperor! WZ78H

That's all you get today, fellow CSIPGAs! I hope you found something interesting here. Grab 'em before they're gone. Or not. We'll be back tomorrow with more.
Yoydee-ho, yoydee-ho, yoydee-ho! Many more games to go!
