I translated "Börnie's Journey" (1994), created to promote the Austrian railway network. It has nine chapters - one set in each of Austria's federal states archive.org/details/boer...

I translated "Croustibat" (1995), made by Coktel Vision - re-using the engine from "Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon" - to promote Findus' line of frozen fish fingers/fish sticks. Many thanks to Fred_PJ for preserving the original Portuguese version. archive.org/details/crou...

I translated "Das Haus der Rätsel" (1996) as "The House of Puzzles", featuring bluescreened actors on prerendered 3D backgrounds. This one includes rebus puzzles that I had to "translate" pictorially, which was interesting challenge. archive.org/details/das-...
