1. History

        Millions and millions of kilometers away from our world there is a fairyland.  Nice creatures Lemmings live there.  The country is named Lemming Land after her inhabitants.  But since not long ago an evil wizard has enslaved all the population and turned kind and friendly Lemmings into terrible and insidious monsters who obediently follow all his orders.  The fate of Lemming Land was almost predetermined.

        Lomax is a desperate young Lemming who has survived by chance.   He has now two choices – to die or to save Lemming Land and its inhabitants from the spell of the evil wizard. 

        Equipped with the knowledge of people of Lemming Land and his will to win, Lomax started his uneasy and dangerous journey.  Now the fate of this world is in your hands!

        You will have to cover great distance in search of the vicious wizard in order to fight with him in the decisive battle. Since not long ago Lemming Land has turned into a very dangerous place.  With the butterflies flying about and clouds floating peacefully on the background, huge hordes of monsters (former inhabitants of the Lemming Land) scurry back and forth.  Having killed a monster you destroy the spell of the wizard and a Lemming is set free.

        It is extremely dangerous and difficult to fight with the monsters. One touch is enough to cause Lomax tormenting death. But if you find a magic helmet you will have protection.  The helmet can also help you destroy the enemies – just throw it and the enemy will be killed.  The helmet can also help to get to the most inaccessible corners of Lemming Land. 

        Look for the jugs hidden everywhere by the inhabitants of Lemming Land. In them you will find gold, a magic helmet and magic runes that give you new abilities.

        If you collect 50 golden coins or free 20 Lemmings, you will receive an extra life in addition.  Beware of the blind beggar who is constantly aiming at stealing your gold.

        During your journey you will meet a kind magician Lorok who will give you many useful pieces of advice and will answer many of your questions.

        If you like adventure this game is for you!

        Buy new cars, open closed routes.  You have the only aim – to win the ToyRace cup.

Several modes of playing will be available for you in this game: practice – the mode of getting acquainted with the route; single race – to master your skills; and, finally, the main mode – career mode.

        You will start your career having only an old Volkswagen at your disposal.  You will have to work hard and earn money to buy a slightly better car.  Winning at every level of the game will bring a considerable sum of money as a prize, but sometimes you will have to pay for participation in the race yourself.

        Worthy rivals in AI withstand you.  Their skills are not bad at all, and they also have more powerful cars.

 

StoneAge

         This story happened thousands of years ago, when people still lived in dark and cold caves.  Their neighbourhood was flooded with dinosaurs, gigantic bears and mammoths.

        In one of such dark and cold caves there lived an ordinary cave man.  He did not have a name, but he had a very good appetite and curiosity. 

        So, one day, when he was extremely hungry again, he decided to find the place where all his family could live without thinking about constant search for food.  He took his huge club and left his home.  If he could only know how many dangerous adventures were in store for him…

        You will explore you cave neighbourhood, visit the village where cannibals live, open the secrets of pre-historic forest and go down the hollow of the mighty tree.  During your journey you will even reach the areas of permanent snow where you will find a huge ice cave.  Every level is dangerous but at the same time has some pleasant surprises. 

        Beware of bears and mammoths, wild birds and hungry squirrels – they are extremely dangerous.  Collect various bonuses – they will satisfy your constant hunger. 

        As you are not alone in this world, you will meet hordes of cave men, but unlike you, they eat not only ice-cream and bananas. 

At the beginning of the game you have only your club as a weapon – this weapon will hardly save you from blood-thirsty creatures.  However, while travelling in this great world you will be able to find a huge hammer and even a stone axe, which you will be able to use to ruin everything around you at a safe distance.

        As in any other world this one has a great many various secret places. If you find them, you will receive many prizes such as tasty ice-cream, bananas, apples and even a huge gammon of a herbivorous dinosaur.

        Help a poor cave man and remember that he is not the only one to feel hungry!

 

Devil House

        The story began when in a small town near an old mansion with  a bad reputation, one could hear terrible cries at night. A month later the situation became worth – people started to disappear suddenly.

        All the local townsfolk were seized with panic. And even the police did not have courage to visit the ominous house.   However, this could not have lasted for long. Somebody had to go and find out what was happening in the house.  Having gathered for a town council meeting local people started to draw lots.  Jack, an ordinary school teacher, had to go.

        Jack has to destroy all the evil spirits that settled everywhere in the old house once and for all.

        The only weapon you have is an old carbine charged for 8 shots and your wish to put an end to all the evil. 

        Your will be opposed with the hordes of zombies – quite slow and dumb creatures, which, however, can blow off Jack’s head with one shot.  There are also witches who have a very keen eye in throwing daggers.  But witches and zombies are not the most terrifying creatures there. The house is flooded with gigantic spiders, slugs, fire skulls and ghosts.  They are much more difficult to kill than zombies and witches.

        As you go deep into the house you will meet more dangerous creatures and their leader.  Remember – it is extremely difficult to fight the evil.  But you can manage quite well.

 

Bouldermania

        In this game you will get acquainted with a little and unprotected, but very clever mouse.  Having left his house one day in search for food he suddenly found himself in an underground cave full of huge boulders and inhabited with dreadful creatures.  Whatever happens, he has to find his way back and escape from this tangled maze. 

        Being in control of the little mouse your task is to gather necessary amount of diamonds and find the way out of the maze. 

The task itself is not difficult. However, there will be a lot of dangerous moments on your way.  Obstructions of the huge boulders, ready to squash the little mouse any time.  Bomb explosions pursuing him on his way.  Large butterflies that seem so lovely can also cause much trouble.  You will come across the rivers of plasma, which turns into ordinary boulders when it thickens. 

        However, you can successfully overcome all these difficulties.  You can push boulders away and, to be on the safe side, gather the diamonds at some distance.  Remember, that deadly stones can kill not only you, but destroy both the bomb and the gigantic butterfly.  Having exploded the butterfly can turn into the diamonds, which you need so much.  And if you can surround plasma with the boulders not allowing it to grow, it will later also turn into diamonds.

        As you collect more and more diamonds you can receive additional life.

        Hurry up, the time set aside for passing each level is strictly limited!
