Overview
Description

Bargon Attack adapts the French cartoon by Racheed & Marc Brothers into a point‑and‑click adventure. Released in 1992 by Coktel Vision, it introduced a novel interface that would influence many later titles. The game blends puzzle solving with a sci‑fi storyline, featuring early FMV technology for its cut‑scenes, offering a nostalgic experience for fans of classic 90s adventure games.

Portal is a first-person puzzle game developed by Valve. Players take on the role of Chell, a test subject who awakens in the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center. Guided by the sadistic artificial intelligence system GLaDOS, Chell must navigate through increasingly challenging test chambers using the 'portal gun,' a device that can create two portals that allow for instant transportation between them. As Chell progresses through the game, she uncovers the dark secrets behind Aperture Science and must use her wits to escape the crumbling facility.
