Blockout is a puzzle videogame, created in 1989 by Polish developer - California Dreams, designed by Aleksander Ustaszewski and Mirosław Zabłocki. The game is the logical extension of Tetris into the third dimension. In Tetris, the player manipulates a set of tetrominoes which fall into a two-dimensional pit (seen from the side). The aim is to solve a real-time packing problem by forming complete rows, which then disappear and score points. Poor play leads to incomplete rows, caused by inefficient arrangements of tiles; these rows do not disappear, giving the player progressively less space and less time to play subsequent pieces.

Similarly, in Blockout, the player manipulates a set of polycubes which fall into a three-dimensional pit (seen from above; the pieces appear in the foreground and fall away). The pieces can be rotated around all three axes, and moved horizontally and vertically. The aim is to form complete layers.

Comanche 2 is a helicopter combat simulator that builds upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, Comanche: Maximum Overkill. Players once again pilot the RAH-66 Comanche attack helicopter through various combat missions. The game retains NovaLogic's Voxel engine, likely with improvements to terrain rendering and object detail. Comanche 2 probably introduces new mission types, environments, and enemy challenges while refining the flight model and combat mechanics. The game likely maintains the series' focus on accessible gameplay and intense action, balancing simulation elements with engaging combat scenarios. As a sequel, Comanche 2 aims to expand and enhance the helicopter combat experience, offering both new and returning players an improved version of the Comanche series' signature blend of advanced graphics and action-oriented helicopter warfare.

In A Day for Soft Food the player controls the hungry cat of a household. Its master (called "the Provider" in the game) is sound asleep in his bed, ill from some unknown sickness. His state of misery has left his faithful pet with barely anything to eat, and even the slightest mewl seems to annoy him. Can food be found without waking him up?

As with most modern interactive fiction, the player types in full sentences describing their intended actions (LOOK AT THE PROVIDER, MEW, and so on). The game requires a Z-interpreter to run.
