The game is Temple of Elemental Evil, a Windows Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 computer game from from publisher Atari. Published in 2003, the game has been lauded as "arguably the most faithful representation of the  3.5e rules in a computer game."

The game focuses on a party of up to five player-controlled characters. These characters can be created by the player or can be one of the pre-made characters that come with the game. All, however, must be within one step of a party alignment. Any player-made characters are created in a 13-step process. At any time, the party can have up to three NPC followers, and all player characters can have a familiar and/or animal companion as allowed by class.

Temple was mostly well received by critics. PC Gamer gave the game a 79%, saying "Greyhawk is a game by D&D fans and for D&D fans, and it provides all RPG fans with the opportunity to experience one of the genre's classic adventures." Gamespot echoed those sentiments; it gave the game a 7.9 out of 10, calling the game "one of the most authentic PC Dungeons & Dragons experiences of the past few years."

Taluva is a wonderful abstract tile-laying game with an adequately supportive theme. Players presumably take on the roles of gods or tribal chieftains on an isolated volcanic island. The island grows through ever-constant eruptions, while the players seek to lead their chosen people to grow in numbers and influence. The game ends either when all tiles are placed or when one player manages to use all of two different kinds of their pieces.

The object of the game in Key Harvest is to score the most points. Players score points by placing tiles on their own country board. Each player has the same board, but there is only one of each tile, so there is competition when two players want the same tile. One point is scored for each field tile in the player’s largest group of connected field tiles and two points for each tile in their second largest connected group.

The south sea, AD 1777! Three years after James Cook visited the islands, the islands are embroiled in a contest for possession of legendary shrunken heads. The players' only desire is to acquire these ''head attractions'' for shipment to museums in Europe. Although the islanders are very interested in trading their treasures with the European for the glass beads they offer, their traditions require that such exchanges be done during a special KAWA ritual. Thus, the players must submit to this ritual by playing against each other with their beads for the prized shrunken heads. The winner will leave the island with the treasure. The losers may remain to provide further treasures...

From Spielbox:

Fiji is a 'super auction game' in which the players offer natives gemstones in exchange for shrunken heads. The offer is compared with four positions which allow new gemstones to be obtained. After four rounds of bidding, the amounts of gemstones that the players own are compared and heads are awarded. After four rounds, the game is over and the player with the most shrunken heads crowned the winner.
