You'll face neurotic yuppie parents, teachers pushed over the edge, a ghostly grandfather back from the grave, the baby-sitter from hell, a pet jumping frog on steroids and a plot to blow the city's sewer system sky high. It's chaotic, it's juvenile, it's definitely deranged and you're gonna love every minute of it.

The general objective of the games is to create a series of Rube Goldberg devices: arrange a given collection of objects in a needlessly complex fashion so as to perform some simple task (for example, "put the ball into a box" or "light a candle"). Available objects ranged from simple ropes and pulleys to electrical generators, bowling balls and even cats and mice. The levels usually have some fixed objects that cannot be moved by the player, and so the only way to solve the puzzle is carefully arrange the given objects around the fixed items. There is also a "freeform" option that allows the user to "play" with all the objects with no set goal or to also build their own puzzles with goals for other players to attempt to solve.

]]> 18 Oct 2006 03:40:21 MechWarrior MechWarrior was the first computer game set in the BattleTech universe. It put you in the cockpit of a BattleMech and sent you on a number of randomly generated missions. The story line, which spanned over a 5 year period, went as follows:
You are Gideon Braver Vandenburg, and you are heir to your planet. However, the Chalice to give you the throne has been stolen, your family has been killed, and you are exiled. You become a BattleMech mercenary, and go to Inner Sphere to find out who destroyed your life and gain revenge.

Aces Over Europe takes place in the Western Theater of WWII, and gives you the opportunity to fly for three different countries (US, Germany, or England). There are a variety of different mission types, and they can be played in either campaign or single mission mode. Each side had it's own campaign mode, and there were many different planes to choose from.
]]> 25 Jan 2007 04:14:45 Sid & Al's Incredible Toons Sid & Al's Incredible Toons is a funnier, cartoon version of The Incredible Machine. It is your job to solve 100 Rube Goldberg style puzzles by placing pieces in the right spot. The puzzle goals range from letting Al E. Cat(haha) catch Sid Mouse, helping Sid reach his cheese, or simply blowing one of the characters up.

Sid and Al aren't the only characters in the game, however. They are joined by other cartoons such as Eunice the Elephant and Bik the Dragon. Each character acts as a different puzzle piece and is used in a different way. Eunice, for example, will toss things that hit her trunk, while Bik will blow fire any time something hits him.

There are a variety of different objects used to solve the puzzles, and they range from realistic to cartoony. There are conveyor belts and pullies to get things where you want them, but there are also guns which will cough out bullets. Once you master all 100 puzzles, there is also a create-a-puzzle mode where you can make your own crazy contraptions to stump your friends.

You have flippers and you have to hit the ball into bumpers and certain areas to get points. However, 3-D Ultra Pinball goes beyond what a standard pinball table can do. Lasers will shoot your ball, ships will pick it up and take it places, and tanks will attack it. There is also a goal for you to eventually build a spaceship by completing certain parts of the tables.

The theme in Creep Night is cartoon horror as opposed to the original's "Outpost" theme. There are three tables to play on consisting of a castle, laboratory, and dungeon. Creep Night is different than most pinball games because things happen in it that could never happen in real life. Zombies will come up from the dead and have to be put back down with the ball, or goblins will try to steal the ball. There are even bonus mini games that the ball can be warped to in order to get more points. There is a single table mode as well as an all inclusive mode where the player can be sent from board to board as they beat them.
]]> 26 Jan 2007 05:46:03 Johnny Castaway Johnny Castaway may not be a game, but it is more than just an ordinary screen saver. The screen saver tells the story of Johnny, a man stranded on a desert island. Normally, he will just sit around, read, sleep, and fish. However, there are many special events that will happen over time. Pirates will come to the island, he meets a mermaid, and he may even try to do a rain dance to battle the heat.

A lot of the events that occur are based upon the computer's system clock. For example, there is a pumpkin on the island around Halloween and christmas decorations in December. As the screen saver progresses, certain animations will reveal more about the story. Eventually, the story is revealed and it is shown why Johnny is stranded on the island. There are so many different events that happen during the screen saver that people are still documenting them and believe they can still find more.
]]> 26 Jan 2007 06:28:33 Hunter Hunted "The Masters" have taken two combatants from around the universe and placed them in a battle against each other for their enjoyment. Jake Hunter is a human from Earth, and Garathe Den is a minotaur creature from Kullrathe. You must survive through levels, avoiding security robots, traps, and your opponent. As you go through levels, you will eventually gather the pieces to your vehicle which will allow you to escape.

Hunter Hunted is different from a normal side scroller in that horizontal is not the only direction that you are able to move. There are hallways and doorways you can enter which allow you to move into or out of the screen. There is also a split screen multiplayer deathmatch mode that lets you play against your friend.

]]> 18 Jan 2007 05:54:46 Quarky & Quaysoo's Turbo Science Quarky and Quaysoo O'Gandi are two aliens competing in a science marathon. You pick either of the two to enter in the race as you compete against Das Liquidators, Cools City Maulers, and Odessa King. There are stops along the race where you must answer science questions relating to the location (eg. questions about sound at the rock concert). The more questions you can answer correctly, the more money you earn. The money is then used to choose a mode of transport to the next stop, ranging from running to jetpacking. The more expensive transportation gets you to the next stop faster so you can beat your opponents.

Turbo Science taught kids science concepts in a fun and accessible manor. The game also came with an informative booklet that taught about all of the different subjects discussed in the game.
]]> 25 Jan 2007 05:41:36 3-D Ultra Minigolf 3-D Ultra Minigolf is another game in the 3D Ultra series by Dynamix. The game has 18 holes to play through, and includes standard mini golf holes as well as crazier themed ones. To start off, there are the normal windmill, lighthouse, and sawmill holes. However, there are also many creative and crazier holes. One will send the player back in time to play with dinosaurs, one is in space, and another takes place at a haunted house.

The game can be controlled in two different ways. You can either click and hold the mouse button, or you can use the "true swing" method where you move the mouse to indicate how hard you want to hit the ball.
]]> 26 Jan 2007 07:00:54 Battle Bugs Description from the box:

The Alluring odor of last week's pizza lies heavy in the air. Antennae strain and agony etches lines of pain into the faces of the cockroaches. With monumental effort, these warriors raise the flag above the carnage in the pepperoni.

This is Battle Bugs. A game of military strategy where insect troops rage across tabletops and storm junk food targets. Standing in their way are legions of enemy bugs, armed to the teeth. You-and your battle smarts-guide your troops to glory. Will your armada of spiders cross the cola lake in time to save the flag? Will the suicide run of kamikaze mosquito take out the praying mantis? At what cost? At what price of victory?
]]> 30 Jan 2007 06:05:06 Motocross Motocross is, as the title implies, a motocross racing game. You compete in a season against the best riders and try to come out on top. There is an extreme amount of customization for your motorcycle. You can adjust the shocks, tire pressure, fork angle, gear ratio, and engine characteristics. All of these options are crucial to change if you want to win in some races. The control also takes a realistic approach. If you are in a high gear and don't give enough gas, your bike will stall and you will have to start it back up. Also, you can square off the corners and take them sharper if needed.
]]> 30 Jan 2007 06:38:53 Trophy Bass As the name implies, trophy bass is a fishing simulation game. You can choose from five different lakes to go test your angling skills. There are numerous different rods, lures, and bait to choose from to catch fish in the best possible way. Casting can be done in two different ways, either by clicking with a target where you want to cast or using the mouse in a more natural fashion. There are two different modes of play in the game, allowing you to enter fishing tournaments or just fish for fun and relax. There are multiple tutorials and tips that not only help you play the game, but they also give you tips on how to really fish.
]]> 01 Feb 2007 05:06:20 Trophy Bass 2 Trophy Bass 2 is the second game in Dynamix's Trophy Bass series. The game plays basically the same. You can start a career, enter tournaments, or simply fish for fun in the free fish more. This version features more lures, more rods, and more lakes (10 instead of 5). You can still cast by either clicking and auto-casting, or by using the mouse for a manual cast mode. A big difference with Trophy Bass 2 is that it features an online multiplayer mode. Now people can test their skills over the internet or their local network.
]]> 01 Feb 2007 05:17:13 Bouncers In bouncers, you actually are the basketball. You face off against another basketball as you try to jump into the hoop. The problem is that you can't jump high enough to make in into the hoop. To fix this problem, you must jump on top of your opponent in order to get enough air to make it into the basket.

There are 8 different characters to choose from, each with their own stories and intro videos. The courts to play in range from underwater, to standard, and even to on the moon. Also, there are powerups such as flying shoes which make you jump higher.
