RTB adds more bricks, accessories, game modes, admin/player options, and a lot more. RTB's mission is to keep Blockland fresh and captivating. RTB is just an extension of the fun premise of the "vanilla" Blockland. There also lots of plans for RTB when Blockland goes "retail". Until then, RTB will still be supported and developed for the public beta version 2, which has been enjoyed by the masses for nearly two years (and was featured on TechTV's "The Screen Savers").

RTB was first released in June, 2005. The current version is 1.045. The next version will be version 1.05. When the final version of Blockland is available for purchase we will move development to RTB version 2.0.

TC:E is a modern world total conversion modification of the free, popular, stand-alone first-person shooter Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. That is, TC:E is an entirely free game, made by gamers, for gamers.

TC:E is currently being developed by GrooveSix Studios and TeamTerminator. While TeamTerminator is known for the famous Q3 based TrueCombat series, GrooveSix Studios was initiated by retired TeamTerminator co-founder Coroner to develop a Return to Castle Wolfenstein modification that is not released. Thus, as very experienced Q3-based content creators, we hope to be able to serve the gaming community with a quality offering.
Now, the most important question: "What can you expect from TC:E?" TC:E is a tactical-team shooter, set up in a modern-world environment. TC:E puts you into the role of elite mercenary soldier in the conflicts of two internationally operating forces.


SpecOps vs. Terrors
The Global Intervention Force (GIF626) is a special force formed of the top of the world experts joining from US Delta force, UK SAS, German KSK and GSG9, to mention a few. An international mercenary organization known as "The Unit" is their opponent. It is reported that some of these dudes are were once with the above forces, but the lure of money is strong. You say "Yet another terror counter-terrorism shooter. Why the hell should I go for it?". We say "Cause you don't have to spend a cent and it features:"

We hope to create the ultimate version of Mario Kart (MK) by combining all of the best aspects into one game. We're not simply recreating one version of MK, but using the best parts of each. We want to have all the traditional weapons, characters, and maps but also bring out new weapons that make game-play interesting. We're redesigning the maps so that they keep their appeal, but truly utilize the power of the source engine. We plan to have at least 16 different characters, all the ones you know and love as well as some others from the Super Mario World.

Where Shelled! was centered on multiplayer mayhem, Shelled 2 focuses on a compelling single player mission-based experience. Though single player by nature, the multiplayer game will remain intact and enhanced with new maps, re-balanced weapons, and the added ability to fire shells during flight. The innovative "FPS meets Scorched Earth" firing mechanic from the original remains intact, which is the core of the gameplay and fun. Practice shelling in Shelled! to get a leg up for the sequel -- interesting challenges are coming your way. Like Shelled!, the sequel will include full script source and editors for you to create your own levels and missions.

    Shelled! 2 began development in March 2007 as a wholly independent project of Red Thumb Games and will not be freeware upon release. There is no release date expected or planned.

    ]]>     04 Jun 2007 10:13:46     Quakeworld Team Fortress Team Fortress (TF or QWTF/Quakeworld TF for this specific version) was a popular multiplayer modification for id Software's "Quake". It featured teams of players choosing from 9 different classes in matches of capture the flag, VIP escort, territorial control, and many other missions.

    Team Fortress 1.0 was released July 25th, 1996 for the original Quake, and the first release for QuakeWorld (v2.0) came on December 22, 1996 taking advantage of the enhanced multiplayer functionality of the new client.

    It was sufficiently successful that the developers formed TeamFortress Software to then develop "Team Fortress 2" as a commercial mod for Quake II. TF would instead be rewritten for the Half-Life engine.

    Over ten years later, TF still enjoys a small community of active players, and several variations on the original TF formula have helped keep peoples interest, including CustomTF, which introduced the ability to configure your own custom class by trading frags scored as cash to purchase abilities.

    ]]>     05 Jun 2007 11:12:49     Total Annihilation A long time ago, the galaxy was ruled by a wise and benevolent central body known as the Core (named after their location, at the core of the galaxy, although some believe it is a portmanteau of "Consciousness Repository"). This organization pushed scientific progress and planetary colonization forward until the human race covered almost the entire galaxy. Ironically, it was the Core's final triumph against mortality that would prove to be its undoing, for when the Core mandated uploading all peoples' brain patterns into machines in a method known as "patterning," there was a massive rebellion from the Arm (named after their location, an arm of the spiral galaxy), an organization which banded together from the edges of the galaxy and demanded to keep their physical bodies. A war like no other began, which has since raged on for four thousand years. The Core copy their finest warriors' brains into fighting robots, and the Arm respond with cloning and powerful manned units.

    ]]>     29 Jan 2007 06:33:14     Project Unknown The year is 2300 and supreme dominance of a single world government called the U.E.C (United Earth Council) exists, ruling over the entire globe. Through pollution and war the world's main populace survives in fortified mega-metropolises referred to as citadels scattered throughout uninhabitable wastelands. In 2200 when the U.E.C was first formed the decision was taken to only take those who were most important to society into the protection of the citadels.

    Although many live happy lives in the serenity of the citadels and with ignorance that over half the world's population lives in turmoil, outside life is a harsh experience, many have died in the inhospitable environment but for those that have survived so far evolution has "gifted" them with something special, unknown to the U.E.C those left outside were not the only life that survived. At different locations around the world life has re-emerged stronger than before with new species of plants and animals flourishing in independent eco-systems. These are a haven for those left outside and are their means of survival.

    The past is not easily forgotten though and inevitably the two divisions of humans would obviously not co-exist peacefully. The war is just about to begin, the U.E.C is unaware of what is about to unfold but tension is rising after transports between citadels have gone missing. The outcasts plan for revenge is in motion...

    The Sides:

    U.E.C Military/Security forces:

    The U.E.C seeks to finish off what they started and destroy what is left of any resistance to its rule. The U.E.C arsenal is composed of conventional ballistic weaponry with a few elite soldiers wielding the newly developed energy weapons.

    The Outcasts:

    The Outcasts seek revenge against their brethren; motivated by this they have spent many years planning for their revenge. They seek to change the earth to a world full of jungles and devoid of technology or cities with humanity living alongside nature. The Outcasts of course cannot wage a war with weapons made from wood and stone, instead they utilize the "gifts" given to them by evolution to destroy their foes, and so with a variety of hand to hand combat, enhanced reflexes and elemental forces to help them along they are a deadly adversary to any U.E.C force.

    Story is the bedrock of Max Payne. Yeah, it's chock full of mind-blowing gunplay, but at every turn, a new and clever piece of noir storytelling will motivate you forward and illuminate the action.

    Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night. In the gritty bowels of New York during the century's worst blizzard Max is a fugitive undercover cop framed for murder, and now hunted by cops and the mob, Max is a man with his back against the wall, fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Prepare for a new breed of deep action game. Prepare for the pain...

    The game immerses us in a dark world, aptly propelled forward by a graphic novel complete with narration in the classic style of detective film noir.

    • Easiest-to-use game editor ever released, with WYSIWYG-style editing (PC version only). Even recreate your house or workplace!

Amongst other black projects, a team of British scientists working at an Infinitum Research experimental station stumbled across some remarkable phenomena involving DNA manipulation. This led to deeper research with dangerously unpredictable results, leading to human patients losing their lives in irresponsible and immoral experiments.

    By the 90s the failure rate was low enough for Infinitum to move onto the next stage: Biological Light Refraction. The team were hoping to unravel the possibilities of light manipulation to create the perfect covert military agent. Due to a gross miscalculation, a series of tests on Subject 617 led to massive synaptic trauma leaving the patient with multiple genetic anomalies. Left in constant pain and with unstable DNA, 617 escaped captivity, killing anyone that got in his way. The I.R.I.S. (Infinitum Research Interception Squad) team have been deployed to return the subject to a maximum security Infinitum Research facility for further study and dissection.

    Subject 617, known as 'The Hidden', must turn the tables and become the hunter instead of the hunted, as the I.R.I.S. team close their net around him.

ZZT comes with some sample worlds demonstrating the unique types of puzzles the game power. A majority of basic ZZT worlds feature elements similar to puzzle games, and Roguelikes. Many other types of game worlds can be created due to the flexibility the editor provides. A large cult-community of followers still supports the game. These supporters have created many additional tricks and tools to help push the limitations of the built-in editor. In addition, hundreds of user-created worlds are available for download.

With a completely redesigned gaming engine, EV Nova thrusts you into a sprawling universe dominated by a myriad of warring factions, each sharing a common bond, but so philosophically different as to make conflict inevitable.

    The remnants of the Colonial Council's utopian vision of a united galaxy are littered about like so many discarded dreams. The eccentric genius in Omata Kane, whose Hypergate system brought distant stars within reach, has all but been forgotten. Like a wave in the darkness of space, colonization flowed outwards from Earth, until discord and dissent against a growingly corrupt central government caused it to come crashing down.

    Open rebellion caused the destruction of critical parts of the Hypergate system, severing entire systems from the umbilical cord of civilization. They were left adrift in the lonely void of space, forced to fend for themselves, truly strangers in strange lands. The collapse of a central government caused civilization to slide helplessly into a dark age of isolation. The few pockets of humanity that did survive developed in near solitude, clinging perilously to life like a tree desperately trying to gain root on a rocky cliff.

    Time marched on in its relentless journey toward the future, and each of these civilizations slowly reconstructed their humanity... but in their isolation, a strange thing happened. They each followed markedly different paths in their evolution. As rediscovered technology finally allowed contact between these far-flung children of the Colonial Council to tentatively resume, they found that they had little in common. Indeed, rather than reunited brothers, they were strangers... or worse, adversaries.

    It is into this maelstrom of territorial contention that you are thrust, like a pebble tumbling aimlessly between the tectonic fault lines that uncomfortably separate these divisions of humanity. Welcome to EV Nova. Will the pebble become an avalanche?

Fantastic aircraft art and realistic flight models characterize the series. Would be pilots will be challenged by the detailed engine and systems management, which varies from type to type.

    A Targetware Mod.

    "Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun" was hailed by some critics as the ultimate World Domination and Empire-Building simulation. The new expansion is in a similar vein while offering several new and exciting features. Among other things, players can continue their Victoria: Revolutions games in HoI2 Doomsday, thus extending the gameplay for both games.
