Overview
You are Abe, an ignorant, happy floor-waxer in Rupturefarms, the most dangerous slaughterhouse in Oddworld. You and the rest of the blue guys are Mudokons. You have been a slave all your life for your boss, Mullock the Glukkon. Mullock represents the Magog Cartel, the meanest bunch of corporate weasels you will ever meet.
You start the game chained up in a cell, awaiting interrogation by Mullock the Glukkon. You have done something that has really made him mad. What have you done? Well, you’ll have to play the old games to answer that. Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee is a flashback. In other words, the events leading to your being captured have already happened, but now you are going to play those events again to see what kind of ending there will be. Confused? You should be.
It all starts with Rupturefarms driving Meeches, Scrabs, and Paramites to extinction. The only way to boost profits is to turn Abe and his pals into lunch. You’ve got to escape from Rupturefarms and take as many fellow Mudokons with you as possible.
Once you escape from Rupturefarms, your adventure is just beginning. Now you must complete your destiny by saving all the Mudokons and becoming a Shrykull (which is half-Mudokon, half-God). It is your mission to complete the game and to save your race from extinction.

On the off-chance that you weren’t paying attention when your 8th grade history class went over World War II, here’s your chance to redeem yourself — literally. Well, OK, only sort of. The good news is, this time the only books involved are the ones that tell you how to pull your ripcord after a Messerschmitt has just opened up your P-51 like the tin can it is.
Air Blocks is essentially a virtual Lego set. It allows you to build with a wide variety of different shapes of blocks. There are prefab buildings that you can modify or you can start from scratch. There is also a rather cute, but challenging, maze game where you must strategically place blocks to direct a car to the finish line.

Game Overview
AMA Superbike by Motorsims is one of the old racing games that stands out for a couple of reasons. Whether these features are a positive or a negative will vary widely however based on your level of patience and your desire for detail in a game/simulation.
As the name of AMA Superbike’s creator suggests, this is a sim through and through. Some considerations have been made as a nod to arcade gamers, but by and large AMA Superbike sets out to recreate the experience of riding one of the most finely tuned, highly charged racing vehicles on the planet.
Superbike largely succeeds in this aspect, although their success is at times very frustrating to a player such as myself who really wants more to experience a high speed, not-so-realistic romp around the track. If you are like me, you will spend a lot more time looking at the walls, trees, grandstands, etc. than zooming around the track. Racing a Superbike, it turns out, is pretty tough and AMA Superbike gets that point across again and again. Personally, I got very little enjoyment out of crashing every five seconds. Had this sim/game had a more forgiving novice/arcade mode, I think it would be a title I could recommend to a much broader segment of the gaming population; as it is, I would say that unless you are truly a hard-core sim fan and/or already a proficient motorcycle racer in real life, I would steer clear of this title — it is weighted far too heavily on the realism side to be much fun for most players.
AMA Superbike is a great racing simulator but not such a fun old game…
