Wetrix
Puzzle game available for N64 and PC. The game involves managing land and water on a square 3D landscape viewed from an isometric perspective. Variously shaped blocks of land (uppers) and amounts of water drop down and you must position them onto the landscape to contain the water, preventing it from flowing off the edge of the landscape. There are also blocks that remove land (downers), fireballs that evaporate water and bombs which destroy land. Too much land causes an earthquake and a water meter monitors the amount of water that has been lost, when it is full the game is over. The game employs a point system that offers hefty bonuses for creating multiple lakes, deep lakes and for containing large amounts of water for prolonged periods of time. As you progress through the levels the game gets faster and new landscape colors and background designs appear. The game's graphics are good and of particular note are the high-quality water effects. The game offers several options, including a set of tutorials, challenges as well as the open-ended single player game. There is also a two-player mode where success forces your opponent to deal with extra water.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
This is a recreation of the US version of the hit TV quiz show hosted by Regis Philbin. The game allows for two players to participate in the first stage of the quiz, a first-to-the-buzzer question which decides the single player who will play the main game. The contestant is then asked a series of 15 multiple-choice questions each of which effectively doubles his/her prize money up to one million dollars. The game incorporates several hundred questions. The player is also allowed three forms of 'lifeline'; 50-50 (which removes two incorrect answers from the total of four), ask the audience (recreated with the help of the results of research questionnaires that have been incorporated into the game) and phone a friend. Since phoning a friend is more difficult to recreate Regis himself places a 'call'. The game effectively recreates the music and graphics of the show and the large number of video clips included work well.
