Oddballz: Your Wacky Computer Petz
PF Magic1996
Oddballz is a spin-off from the Catz and Dogz series, from P.F. Magic. This time, as the title states, the pets are wacky creatures, more alien-like than animal. Now they can make their eyes come out of their sockets and literally be scared to pieces, while retaining a comic look and feel (something impossible while dealing with Dogz or Catz). The mechanics are pretty much the same in every game of the series, and here the player also gets to pet them, teach them tricks, punish them or just play around. The Oddballz will respond to each and every move and they can even morph into something else, depending on what the player does. The tools the player can use are also very different from the ones in Dogz and Catz, and also have a wacky feel to them. There are tools like the Robo Pogo, the Gravitron, Seismo Ball, Transformer, Atomic Ball, and the delicious Liqui-Food, for feeding the pets. The company also made additional Oddballz available for download from their site, to add to the starting lot of seven.

Links: The Challenge of Golf
Access Software1990
Links redefined what golf on the PC should look and play like; it migrated golf from a sports game to a simulation. Good use of VGA's 256 colors made for a realistic course with trees, water, sandtraps, and the fairway. The addition of ball physics, mulligans, changing the lie of the ball, real digitized environmental sounds (even through the PC speaker), and the ability to view a replay (even from multiple angles) gave PC golf games a new echelon of quality to match.
