Poltergeists are a class of ghosts that cause mischief around the house, turning off the lights, making some weird noises, and sometimes moving the furniture. In this game, the Poltergeist (or should I say Polterguy) is much nastier. As Polterguy, you are tasked with scaring an admittedly unpleasant-looking family away from the house. In a unique twist, this doesn't involve thematically inappropriate platformer levels, but actually using your ghost powers to possess their house, and scare the living daylights out of them. 94: Haunting: Starring Polterguy: Year: 1993. Genre: Action-Puzzler. Publisher: EA. Developer: EA.

The Strike series is a product of its time. An entire game based on a single premise, that of a lone helicopter pilot raining hell on his enemies. Other than predicting the infatuation of Western developers with military settings, the series quietly retired into the sunset. That doesn't mean the games are bad or anything. In fact, the Strike games were known for frantic and tactical action. In this case, it should also be known for its hard as hell difficulty. 80: Soviet Strike: Year: 1996. Genre: Helicopter Action.
