"As we said, it's hard to review Lost Wing, because it's exactly what it looks like – a score attack-style game with ever-increasing difficulty and numerous extra tracks and game variations to unlock. Given how well it does almost every aspect of its core gameplay, it's unfortunate that this review reads like a litany of criticisms. Lost Wing is very good, but the presence of a number of issues – a couple being fairly major – mean that it could have been even better."

About

Win, Lose or Draw transforms lateral thinking into a multiplayer puzzle. One participant sketches a phrase while their team tries to guess the answer. Players take turns as drawer or guesser, wrestling with abstract visuals like a stick-figure surrounded by tiny boxes (could be "busy bee") or a door with a locked key floating nearby (maybe "dead end"). The challenge lies in balancing clarity and simplicity, with success relying as much on teammates' vocabulary as the artist's hand. Released in 1990, the game spanned DOS, Commodore 64, and even the NES, proving its accessibility. Its strength lay in the shared laughter over misinterpretations, like mistaking "over the moon" for a person with a headache. No frills or power-ups here, just a text-based interface and a list of over 300 phrases to decode. While not mechanically complex, its charm comes from the group dynamic, making it a stealthy social game ahead of its time.
