Feist's Riftwar saga (and co-written with Feist himself) is Betrayal At Krondor, a new tale in the Riftwar universe. Exploration in a 3D world and turn-based combat complement the story, which is divided up into nine chapters. Each chapter has a goal to achieve before moving on to the next chapter, but how that goal is met is up to you.

Aces Over Europe takes place in the Western Theater of WWII, and gives you the opportunity to fly for three different countries (US, Germany, or England). There are a variety of different mission types, and they can be played in either campaign or single mission mode. Each side had it's own campaign mode, and there were many different planes to choose from.

It is your job to solve 100 Rube Goldberg style puzzles by placing pieces in the right spot. The puzzle goals range from letting Al E. Cat(haha) catch Sid Mouse, helping Sid reach his cheese, or simply blowing one of the characters up.

Sid and Al aren't the only characters in the game, however. They are joined by other cartoons such as Eunice the Elephant and Bik the Dragon. Each character acts as a different puzzle piece and is used in a different way. Eunice, for example, will toss things that hit her trunk, while Bik will blow fire any time something hits him.

There are a variety of different objects used to solve the puzzles, and they range from realistic to cartoony. There are conveyor belts and pullies to get things where you want them, but there are also guns which will cough out bullets. Once you master all 100 puzzles, there is also a create-a-puzzle mode where you can make your own crazy contraptions to stump your friends.

You need to help roger save the galaxy and get the girl in the end.

Space Quest V was not designed by the full "Two Guys from Andromeda" team who did the original four games. Instead, only one of the two, Mark Crowe, was involved. The humor in this episode was different than that of the past games.
