]]> 18 May 2007 10:29:40 Moves This is a very simple board game for 2 players (or 1 player versus the computer). Both players get 7 pawns and 1 king on a 8x8 board. The goal is to get your opponent's king or 6 of his pawns. Each turn, the player may select 1 stone and move it straight or in an L-bow. You cannot jump over stones, but you can step onto your opponent's stone to take it. The numbers on your stones indicate the number of tiles they can move in a turn. When the Mastermind option is selected, the stones change in value when you move it. Pawns can get numbers 1-4, while the king only gets 1 or 2. A challenging game!

Setting the Mastermind option (to change the alue of your stones each move) will show numbers on the board so you will know the number you will get when you move a stone there.

This games comes with 5 imaginary friends of fine-tuned artificial intelligence to play offline against your computer.

]]> 17 Apr 2007 04:27:42 Zatacka Zatacka, also known as Achtung, die Kurve!, is a freeware, multiplayer DOS computer game that supports from two-player up to six-player gaming.

The game bears some resemblance to the game Snake, though in Zatacka the main goal is to make your opponent hit the wall, his kurve or your kurve. As a result, the game resembles closely to the famous Light Cycle of the 1982 movie Tron. You control the kurve by only two buttons: one makes the snake turn left; the other, right. Although the game has primitive graphics, the gameplay is considered very good and the game is loved by many fans worldwide.

There's a strategic and tactical depth that goes unmatched in the small-games-to-play-on-a-break gaming world. Even though the simplicity is striking (anyone can play it) there are an infinite amount of tactics that can be applied in this game.

It takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master! Be warned though - it's addicting!

]]> 15 Feb 2007 05:41:24 Stack Attack This is a very simple concept game with minimilistic almost DOSlike graphics, but hopefully with a hook of playability to have you coming back again just for the ride.

Click grouped blocks to make them disappear from the playfield - the number of blocks in the group (two or more) will determind the score given. More blocks together = higher group-clicking scores.

clicking on a single block will cause a 1000 points pentalty to be taken from your score.

If you remove an entire column then a free-column bonus will be awarded for the duration of the free state.

More blocks are being pushed into the playfield from below, slowly at first but then faster as the game continues on, until it is very frantic indeed.

If you need more blocks and the blocks are being pushed on to the screen to slowly then use mouse button two, or the space bar, to bring them on faster. You may want to do this at the start of the game, but once the speed is higher this will be the last thing on your mind!

The game is over when a stack reaches the score-line at the top of the screen.

STOP THOSE STACKS!

**This game is 100% freeware and not to be sold!**

]]> 07 Feb 2007 05:02:43 total eclipse remake t is written that, in the heart of ancient Egypt hundreds on years ago, the High Priest of the day had become annoyed. His people were revolting and refused to continue the sacrifices to Re the God of Sun. His anger had erupted so he set an ominous curse as punishment to the people.

A great pyramid was erected and at the topmost chamber a shrine was built for Re the Sun-God. The curse was set. Should anything ever block the sun's rays during daylight hours it would be destroyed.

It is now 26th October, 1930 and in just 2 hours the moon will totally eclipse the sun, triggering the curse of Re, causing the offending moon to explode showering the Earth with colossal meteorites thus upsetting the ecological balance, and plunging civilisation into a dark age of starvation and conflict.

YOUR MISSION

It is 8 o'clock, you have just landed your bi-plane next to the great pyramid. Your mission is to reach and destroy the shrine of the Sun-God Re, which is located at the apex of the pyramid.

TREASURE

Collect as much as possible-you're gonna be rich! First day's target #125,000.
YOUR EQUIPMENT

  • A revolver -plus an ample supply of bullets.
  • Your wrist watch -the eclipse is due just before 10 o'clock.
  • A water bottle -keep this topped up-it is very hot! It is not healthy to be without water for long periods.
  • Your trusty compass -an essential item for succesful orientation.

    ]]>     07 Feb 2007 04:17:47     Cultivation Cultivation is a game about a community of gardeners growing food for themselves in a shared space.

    Cultivation is quite different from most other games. It is a social simulation, and the primary form of conflict is over land and plant resources---there is no shooting, but there are plenty of angry looks. It is also an evolution simulation. Within the world of Cultivation, you can explore a virtually infinite spectrum of different plant and gardener varieties.

    All of the graphics, sounds, melodies, and other content in Cultivation are 100% procedurally generated at playtime. In other words, there are no hand-painted texture maps---instead, each object has a uniquely "grown" appearance. Every time you play, Cultivation generates fresh visuals, music, and behaviors.

    ]]>     06 Feb 2007 05:43:50     Kastle Kumquat Kastle Kumquat has always been a long standing favourite of mine from the Amiga days and for the 2006 Retro Remakes competition i helped develop this remake with my skilled partner (the code guru) Edgar M Vigdal. The gfx are by me, the sounds are by me (including the grunts and oofs) and we got some very nice music made for us by the talented "infamous". The tough part is all by Edgar though, without him these games wouldn't happen.

    Collect fruits, find keys, press switches and open doors to make your way through the kastle. Dodge the twizzly boxes of doom, jump the lava and watch out for the traps. The remake did ok in the competition but the game turned out as great as i hoped. Its a joy to play, in fact only yesterday i played it through once again.

    We are now working on a version which includes the room editor for a collaborative project. A whole new set of user made rooms with some new twists and traps. Hopefully that'll be underway soon.

    ]]>     06 Feb 2007 06:38:37     Sudoku You will never get bored with this Sudoku game as it generates proper Sudoku puzzles randomly. On top of that, it provides two different gaming modes. In normal mode, you can play without the limitation of time. Plus, hints are available when you get stuck. On the other hand, the Time attack mode is very challenging. You must solve the puzzle in a limited time. However, you may get bonus time by giving correct answers. Of course, punishment will be given if you make wrong answers.

    The game is also featured at eye-candy user-interface. In the near future, you will be able to change the theme as well as the background music.
    ]]>     06 Feb 2007 06:36:09     Skooter Skooter is a freeware puzzle game. This is a remake of an old game for the MSX 8-bit computers. This remake was made in the most possible faithful way, with slighly modified graphics. The objective of this game is simple: control your Skooter robot and get the four screen items to complete each one of the sixteen levels that compose the game. A great puzzle!

    To play Skooter, use arrows and space (joystick also supported). Space destroy green blocks. Red blocks cannot be destroyed. Arrow blocks move by themselves. Diamond blocks can be pushed. Blue arrows push items (only when they are not blocked).

    Thanks to Ronald Pieket Weeserik (author of the original game) for his support.

The idea is to make gaming more acessible for people with disabilities (this doesn't mean that Jet Boarder is easy). Press space to turn right, release to turn left. In menus, press space to change options and hold it to select. Try finishing the tracks in the least possible time and watch your energy that runs out when colliding with obstacles!

Help doesn't have a time penalty here, you have a limited supply of "help tokens" that you can use, one is replaced after each level, to a maximum of three. Also added more information screens, and many little tweaks under the hood.

    Avoid spikes, and spines and deadly cubes, while crushing all the cylinders contained in each level. When you have destroyed all the cylinders the exit will become open and you can cross the exit to the next corridor.

    Score points for distance travelled, and cylinders crushed.

    Watch your time, if it runs out then your game is over. More time can be acquired by pressing down the "Green Timer Disks", but beware: Once you touch them and take the prize, they will become "Red Disks of Death" and cannot be touched again.

    Extra lives are awarded every 10,000 points.

    The original Spectrum game contained eight corridors, who knows what challenging courses could have been built since then!

    If you complete all the corridors, you will be returned to the first, but each time you loop around the level set, the time allowed will be reduced.

    The top five scores are saved to disk... How high can you score? How far can you get?
