Nevermind (game)
''Never Mind'' (also known as ''Nevermind'') is a puzzle video game developed by MC Lothlorien and published by Psygnosis under its Psyclapse label in 1989. Gameplay The game is played in a 3D isometric environment. Each isometric square represents a tile. At the beginning of each level, a picture made up of sixteen tiles will be displayed to the player. The computer will then rearrange the tiles which make up the picture, and distribute some in other areas of the level. The player's task is to restore the picture to the way it looked at the beginning of the level. This is achieved by walking around the isometric world, picking up tiles, and placing them in the correct place. Throughout a level, warps must be found which allow the player to change from walking on the floor to walking on the walls. Each level has a time limit. If the time runs out, the player loses. When the picture is complete, the player progresses to the next level. From level two onwards, chess ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
MC Lothlorien
MC Lothlorien was a video games developer and publisher based in United Kingdom. The company was founded in 1982 and initially specialised in developing software for the ZX Spectrum, Dragon 32 and BBC Micro computer platforms on its own Lothlorien publishing label. The company was associated in its early days with computer wargaming, with Johnny Reb and Redweed being two early games of that genre produced for the ZX Spectrum. In 1985 the company entered an agreement with Argus Press Software to improve the marketing and distribution of its titles. In later years, the company developed titles for other publishers, using the name MC Lothlorien and Icon Design, which was formed in 1986 following their acquisition of A'n'F Software, publishers of ''Chuckie Egg''. Without the expertise to move into the emerging 16-bit market the company was closed in 1989.

Chess
Chess is a board game for two players, called White and Black, each controlling an army of chess pieces in their color, with the objective to checkmate the opponent's king. It is sometimes called international chess or Western chess to distinguish it from related games, such as xiangqi (Chinese chess) and shogi (Japanese chess). The recorded history of chess goes back at least to the emergence of a similar game, chaturanga, in seventh-century India. The rules of chess as we know them today emerged in Europe at the end of the 15th century, with standardization and universal acceptance by the end of the 19th century. Today, chess is one of the world's most popular games, played by millions of people worldwide. Chess is an abstract strategy game that involves no hidden information and no use of dice or cards. It is played on a chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. At the start, each player controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, t ...
