Description of Gremlins
Read Full DescriptionGremlins is a fun and very rare PC version of ATARI's action classic for on its 5200 console. Aside from being one of ATARI's early classics, the game also deserves mention as one of the first good adaptations from a hit movie.
Your goal in the game is the same as that of the main character in the movie: prevent the cute Mogwais from getting wet and multiplying, and above all else, don't let them eat anything, because it's after 11PM. To do this, you collect one Mogwai at a time and lock it up in the cage. Unfortunately, a few Mogwais have already turned into ugly Gremlins, so you must kill them with your trusty sword. If you become surrounded, you can stun the gremlins with flash cubes. You can also turn on the TV to freeze Mogwais and Gremlins in their tracks (probably because they can't stand watching Baywatch XXVI too many times).
It may sound easy enough... until you realize how much your task is complicated by your idiot father's stupid scientific inventions that get in your way, just like in the movie. He's got the fridge firing ice cubes out. Ice melts into water puddles - and if you've seen the movie, you'll know that Mogwais or Gremlins and water don't mix. Even worse is dad's lidless popcorn popper, which dutifully fills the room with popcorn when turned on. Since it's after 11PM already, I don't need to tell you why this is bad. Of course, the Gremlins and Mogwais love to turn on the popcorn maker, and neither can resist the urge for a midnight snack. A Gremlin might even open up the fridge and start tossing out food to his friends! And you also can't stray too far from the Mogwai cage, lest a Gremlin break them out.
If this sounds like it's a complicated game, that's because it is. Fortunately, the controls are very easy to learn and master, and the game plays beautifully. The 4-color CGA graphics in this PC version is a step backward from the superior graphics in the 5200 version, but they are still very detailed, with smooth animations that bring the Mogwais' lovable and the Gremlins' troublesome antics to life.
Definitely one of the best arcade games you'll ever come across. A must-play for all action fans.

Back to the Future Part IIIGremlins, Inc. is an in a steampunk world of corrupt capitalist gremlins who compete for money, political power and prestige. Steal resources, extort bribes, manipulate elections, lay traps, arrest other players: in this game, you have to be mean to win!
Each player has a hand of to move around the playing field and gain resources that are then spent to earn . You play for score (') or for time (') or for rounds (').
There are different types of cards in the game (permanent, regular, secret & criminal) and as each card can be used either or , you need to develop both short-term & long-term strategies for making the most out of where you are, and what you have in your hand. Normally you spend half of your game time accumulating things, and another half attacking other players (stealing, arresting, making them pay a fine, initiating player conflicts, etc.).
The dynamics of the sessions differs significantly between , where it's pure cut-throat, and (or more) sessions, where normally everyone attacks the current score/money leader first, which allows for some daring strategies to be developed in the shadow of someone getting arrested out of envy. A typical ranked duel is 20-40 minutes. An intense ranked 5-player game can be up to one hour (the game has a built-in timer to make sure nobody stalls for time).
You think that's just a pocket watch in your hand, a watch that's a bit late because you keep forgetting to wind it up? No, no and no – you couldn't be further from the truth! What you carry around is a whole gremlin town packed into this tiny mechanism: a town with its own bank, its own casino… and even its own jail! Gremlins are the microscopic creatures that inhabit any mechanism that they can possibly infiltrate. If a watch or a telescope malfunctions, then it's probably due to gremlins who took up a residence there.
More than anything in life, gremlins value , and : prestige that one can claim after completing some sort of a grandiose engineering project. Aside from working on their own projects, gremlins mostly spend their time preventing other gremlins from building something even more grandiose. This they achieve through bribing officials and lying to the electorate, as well through stealing from their competitors - and outright arresting them.
We felt it important to note that Gremlins, Inc. is not a free-to-play game. You buy the game once, and this is all the money that we ask for the product. Also, this is not a CCG or TCG: you do not need to buy boosters or packs, the game offers the same deck to every player, and everyone's chances are equal.
