Sorry guys but this one might be a bit hard.
This was an
OLD DOS game that was on one of the disks of a set of 2, labelled "the best 40" or some such. It featured a birdseye/third person type camera view. Your character is a soldier dressed in traditional army camo but with someone's face superimposed on top of where his head should be. When you start you are in a square area in the desert iirc and there are two ways to go - Veteran or Normal. After that you appear in a free-roaming type world and all I can remember was that there were spiders coming out of hills and I never found out how to shoot.
Secondly, there was an old game (possibly Japanese) where you had to save your family from a haunted mansion. The most unique thing about it was that no 2 playthroughs were the same, since the game seemed to randomly choose from a range of different rooms to present or maybe randomly generate, I don't remember.
Thirdly, there was a game where you were in a village full of zombies which had a special name that I think started with "N". You could pick from all sorts of different characters to play as, but the main focus wasn't fighting the zombies but hiding from them and escaping. IIRC, you could swap your view between other characters in the area, including the zombies to see what they were doing.
Also i'd like to know about any good roguelikes anyone knows of that feature actual graphics and not text characters (@ = person type thing). No one say IVAN, i've got that already.
And also any other "extremely great game, crap graphics (if any)" games anyone may have found. (e.g. Dwarf Fortress)
