]]> 22 Jul 2007 03:05:58 Liberal Crime Squad is a political role-playing game with rogue-like elements where you recruit extreme liberals in an attempt to change the ultra-conservative USA.

In the beginning you create your LCS founder's background and start alone, but you can recruit as many liberals as you like.

There are many ways to do so, using raw violence, kidnapping important people and converting them into sleepers, changing public opinion, invading the radio station and broadcasting your ideals, freeing criminals, and so forth.

Please be aware that LCS is a rather mature game with lines inappropriate children, but they add a nice comical aspect to it.

]]> 03 Jul 2007 01:44:20 Overseer Assault is a turn-based single-computer multiplayer game loosely inspired by Worms. It fuses elements of Turn Based Strategy and Top-down shooter into a cohesive whole.

The Players begin by selecting a side, either the mobile Attackers, or the static Overseers. The aim of the game is for the members of one team to annihilate all the members of the opposing team. Control flips between players on a turn-based basis, with each turn time-limited.
Attackers are able to move about freely during their turns, and although they have limited hit points, they are able to respawn a certain number of times if killed. Attackers can only fire a weapon once per turn.
Overseers are static supercomputers that cannot move, but are able to place defensive turrets within their zone of influence to defend themselves. Only one turret can be placed per turn, but multiple turrets can be fired per turn. Once an Overseer is destroyed, it stays destroyed.



The game is currently undergoing a major upgrade to full 3D graphics, which will introduce a new first-person view for Attackers, but keep the top-down overview for Overseers. New weapons are also planned.

]]> 01 Jul 2007 03:07:49 In Base Invaders the objective is to repel enemy waves (little creatures called Invaders) by building walls and placing all sorts of elaborate traps around your tower.

]]> 25 Jun 2007 07:52:56 Introduction
Battleships Forever is a freeware tactical Real Time Strategy game that puts you in command of a small fleet of warships in space. Combat and damage mechanics are extremely detailed. Everything is simulated in game if possible. There are no abitrary "to hit chance" values in Battleships Forever. The game also features many innovative mechanics that you've never seen before. For example, the Cronus Battleship sports a Flux Shield generator that allows you to draw a defensive force shield around your ships in any shape you want. Another example are the Deflector modules that are used extensively through the game. These modules make a single section of a ship totally invulnerable to fire. This means that you will have to manoeuvre your ships to attack sections of the enemy ships not protected by Deflectors while keeping your own protected sections facing the enemy. Position is paramount!

Players will command picked fleets made up of Battleships, Destroyers and Patrol Craft. The completed game will include ten campaign missions and multiple skirmish modes.

Battleships Forever is inspired by and loosely based on Warning Forever by Hikoza.T.Ohkubo

]]> 08 May 2007 05:36:27 This is a multiplayer Flash based 4X game which pretty much adheres to the style of Master of Orion 1 and 2. Just trying to make a fun multiplayer version of those classics.

]]> 06 May 2007 09:51:13 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 04:47:13 I made this game in 2005 as just a little thing to do in between projects, and it's spread to just about everywhere on the internet that has games and is my most popular game by far.

It takes all the elements in common strategy game and distills them down to their core: competing for territory and having battles. However, in this game, once a tile is placed, it can no longer be moved, only captured, so unlike most strategy games, a game of Proximity is usually over in about 10 minutes. Also, since the rules are pretty simple, it appeals to a lot of people who aren't normally into the big, unwieldly, and complex strategy games out there.

I'm currently working on a sequel, as well as looking for ways to get the game onto consoles, and hopefully a board game version eventually.

]]> 11 Apr 2007 03:59:23 Sphere of War is a FREE online multiplayer strategy game. The name of the game is world domination. Do you have what it takes to dominate the Sphere of War?

]]> 09 Mar 2007 10:09:23 This is a PC version of the classic Metagaming/Avalon Hill Boardgame Hitler's War. This mini masterpiece allows players to recreate World War Two in Europe. Players choose the Axis, Soviets or Allies in different scenarios of increasing complexity.
Operation Barbarossa is the first scenario covering the Axis attack on the U.S.S.R. This scenario serves as an introduction to the game covering movement, combat and production.

The Fall Of Germany Scenario adds the Allies and rules for Sea Movement, Amphibious Invasions and Forts.

The two Campaign games cover the entire war from 1939 and add the rest of the rules chiefly Research, Nationality and special units such as Tactical Air and Paratroops.

The Windows version of the game has hot seat and network play for each of these scenarios. This means 2 or 3 friends can battle it out on the same computer or over a LAN or the internet. There is no AI player or EMail support at present.

]]> 04 Mar 2007 06:36:09 You are in a field with a giant, yet stupid, robotic army, who follow your every move. You are only armed with your brain, a 3-use random position teleporter, and... a bomb! Endeavoring to defeat this army relies on the fact that once an enemy is destroyed, its remains can trip up its surviving comrades thereby destroying them as well. Move wisely! This simple, 2-dimensional, grid-based game is fun and easy to learn.

]]> 02 Mar 2007 06:18:32 Cloak, Dagger and DNA is if not the first then at least one of the first games ever to use make use of genetic algorithms. Each player (human or computer) controls an army which can be split up into smaller units and has to try to conquer the playing field and its resource-generating factories in a Risk-style manner of play.

Cloak, Dagger and DNA was developed by Oidian Systems and was planned to be part of a family of games around the theme of genetic algorithms, unfortunately interest was lacking and Oidian went out of business. Since then Don O'Brien (designer of the game) has released it as freeware.

]]> 26 Feb 2007 03:54:15 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!

]]> 23 Feb 2007 01:06:02 You're on the way back from a successful mission. Unfortunately, the carrier that was supposed to pick you up crashed, and you'll be toast by the time they can send another. Your only hope of survival is to drive your tank to the nearest outpost, 460 miles away. But watch out, the survivors of the battle you fought are scattered all over the place, and are hungry for revenge!

This is an old game I made with VB, I revised a couple things in this late version. (Only a couple) And I think it's ready for the world to see my only finished game for the past year.

Only 150KB!
