Captain Blood and Cuban Missile Crisis



Captain Blood
Captain Blood is an action game based on the novels by Rafael Sabatini about the notorious Captain Blood. Players take the role of a brave and noble corsair, following his amazing adventures in 1685 Spanish Main.

The game's mission-based structure allows players to battle on both land and sea, with ship to ship battles and swashbuckling sword fights to gain control of invaded ships. Player can experience directly controlled naval battles, manually firing ship cannons from the foredeck, or navigating their course in third-person view while cannons aim automatically and fire only when commanded.





Wind strength, direction, weather conditions, ship parameters and cannon fire range must all be weighed to achieve victory. Land missions place players in the character of Captain Blood, fighting multiple enemies while gamers parry, thrust and sidestep through different combinations against enemy pirates and soldiers. Gamers gain special points as they work through ghastly sea dogs, acquiring new fighting techniques and gold for weapons and equipment.







Cuban Missile Crisis
Cuban Missile Crisis is a Real-Time Strategy game combined with a turn-based global tactical mode, thrusting gamers into a world ravaged by the military-political confrontation between USA and USSR in 1962 and offers gamers an alternative interpretation of the events that followed the famous global standoff on the small island nation.

After the crisis broke out, two superpowers unleashed their nuclear arsenal on the world, levelling Cuba and turning it, along with the majority of the world's metropolitan expanses into scorched radioactive deserts.





The ones that managed to survive the disaster realized that the most precious resources are clean earth and water. The remaining world citizens find themselves in a war fighting for their very survival.
