Basically one of those old Flash games where you send units from left to right.

Straightforward and fun! Until you just die for reasons you can’t explain!

A pretty basic tower defence game, with the twist that enemies reach your core and carry off power thingies. I think I remember a Flash game like this.

It’s kinda neat, but reminiscent of old DOS games; not good enough.

Cyrano de Bergerac - (1990 movie) poster

A Beauty and the Beast story about a warrior poet man who feels unworthy of love because of his appearance.

It’s absolutely no comparison to Cyrano de Bergerac – (1950 movie), so much so that I have to flag this as disliked!

Trailer
Inspired by Cyrano de Bergerac – (1897 play), by Edmond Rostand
Watch Cyrano de Bergerac – (1950 movie) instead.

A simple semi-roguelike tactics-esque game.

Lots of fun, albeit somewhat slow.

A shooter of some sort.

Hard to see, hard to play.

A pinball game which is absolutely nothing compared to Epic Pinball – (1993 game).

Wow the graphics are bad and the controls are bad.

A refresh of the 2007 Xbox 360

A top-down strategy game.

I dunno, it’s slow and awkward and has more talking than playing. Maybe I’d just have to wade through for much more time before the real game happens, but I’m not going to give it that chance. A game should be fun immediately.
