Daikoukai Jidai Gaiden is a Strategy game, developed and published by Koei, which was released in Japan in 1997. Uncharted Waters is a popular Japanese video game series produced by Koei as part of its rekoeition games. In East Asia, the series has a large cult following, but has not received much recognition outside East Asia. The series has been compared to Sid Meier's Pirates! in gameplay and theme. It is a simulation and CRPG series dealing with sailing and trading. Daikoukai Jidai Gaiden is a side story released in 1997 on PlayStation and Sega Saturn after New Horizons, the game uses the same engine and focuses on the story of two characters instead, further expounding upon the loose plot that ties the series together.
In the games, the player takes up the role of a captain (also called commodore in some translations) and manages a seagoing fleet to participate in trades, privateering, treasure hunting, exploration, and plain piracy. Even though the series is largely open-ended, there is still a loose plot which requires the player to follow certain paths, and deviating from these paths may stall the progress of the story. The two protagonists are as follows: * Miranda Verte: Genoese adventurer who mistakenly thought the treasure hunter, Pietro Conti, had asked for her hand in marriage, and sets off to find him. Her quest eventually leads to a plot relating to an ancient civilisation in South America, which were touched on by Pietro's previous adventure. * Salvador Reis: Pirate and adopted son of Hayreddin Reis (aka Khayr ad-Din). His adventure involves rising to fame as one of the Algerian pirates, compete for domination with enemy pirate clans and also struggle for power within his own clan.

As the offspring of almighty Zeus, you demand a seat among the gods. But before ascending to the top of Mt. Olympus, you must first defeat some of the most powerful deities in the Greek pantheon. Such a task would be impossible for a puny mortal, but you wield the raw power of the universe in your hands, for you are destined to become a god! Learn to shatter the sky with lightning and shower the earth with fire. Summon heroes to aid your people, and plagues to destroy the enemy. Call forth tornadoes, hurricanes, tidal waves, and columns of flame. The second installment of Bullfrog's Populous series follows the path set by its predecessor and remains one of the greatest god-games ever created. Populous 2: Trials of the Olympian Gods vastly improves the formula by adding new spells, better quality sound and graphics, and a character development system that allows you to customize your divine powers in any way you want. You really can’t go wrong with a game where you can kill gods, obliterate entire continents, and strike down upon the infidels with great vengeance and furious anger. Just as Peter Molyneux, those things simply never get old.

The Sims 2 for PlayStation Portable delivers a unique third-person experience that blends life simulation with role-playing elements, offering a more substantial storyline compared to other versions. Players navigate various goals to unlock content while customizing their pre-built homes with furniture and decor. Interactions and jobs are executed through mini-games, maintaining a dynamic gameplay flow. In this version, characters do not age, marry, or have children; however, they can pursue significant relationships and WooHoo. Goals largely dictate relationship dynamics, with close friends potentially moving in as the game progresses. As players complete objectives, their sanity meter, symbolized by a Plumbob, increases, while failing to meet goals leads to rapid depletion, resulting in hospitalization or alien abduction. Unique to this version are "Sanity Points," awarded for completing tasks to unlock special perks, and hidden "Secrets" found in Strangetown, enhancing exploration and social interaction.
