Games

Windows

AMNESIA Folder: The object of the game is to...well, you'll just have to find that out for yourself! As the name of the game suggests, you have lost your memory, so everything is a complete mystery which will only become apparent when the game is completed.

BONES20 Folder: BONES THE DOMINO GAME - Version 2.0 by Slick Software This game was written simply because I couldn't find any good domino games written for Microsoft Windows. I also wanted to write a game requiring an equal amount of luck and skill. The result is "BONES" (so named because the first dominoes were made of bone).

BGF2VOL1 Folder: Board Games For II was designed to be as close as possible to actually playing on a real board. Wherever possible, the computer was kept out of the design and the human element in. Only mundane tasks, like removing captured pieces or setting up the board, have been automated. This way, you still have the excitement of making a triple jump or playing by your own rules. The result is a true simulation of each of these classic yet timeless board games.

BRICK17 Folder: What is Bricklayer for Windows ? Bricklayer for Windows is a port of Steve Chamberlin's popular fast-paced falling blocks game for the Macintosh. The Macintosh version was honorably mentioned in the 1993 MacUser Shareware Awards, and favorably reviewed in numerous books and magazines. Guaranteed to get you addicted, Bricklayer for Windows features beautiful 256-color artwork, an original music soundtrack, terrific sound effects, and more. Systems which are not 256-color or sound-capable are also supported.

CATHARSI Folder: CATHARSIS: because megakilojoule angst rays are your best entertainment value. Run catharsis to relieve stress at any time. Keep it minimized and launch sneak attacks on your applications when they least expect and most deserve it. Go for it. You're allowed.

GOLDHUNT Folder: In Gold Hunt, you are in search of a treasure hidden underground. You must try to find the treasure before you run out of energy and in the least number of tries possible.

MEDWAR11 Folder: MEDIEVAL WAR is played on a grid of variable size depending on the scenario. There are various islands throughout the grid with cities, forests, and mountains. You and your opponents (computer or human) start the game with one city each. The object of the game is to build up your forces, and capture cities until you are strong enough to attack the other players. To win the game you must capture all of your opponent's cities and destroy all of your opponent's pieces or force all of your opponents to surrender.

PUZZ Folder: The first interactive internet monthly puzzle magazine, Net.Puzzler http://www.Virtual-NY.com/NET.PUZZLER/, combines the best aspects of wordsearch and crossword puzzles. Check out these examples.

RATS Folder: Kill all the rats before they have a chance to mate and overrun the maze. To kill a rat, pick up the objects which appear at random on the right hand side of the window by clicking the mouse on them and placing them in the maze. The bar graph on the right of the window tells you how many male (blue) and female (pink) rats there are left alive. When the bar reaches the top you have been overrun and have lost.

VERMIN Folder: Vermin are nasty little roaches that crawl around on your desktop, looking for windows to hide under. Once they hide, they aren't very bothersome, but don't move any windows or they may wake up. Even clicking on the desktop can disturb them. They probably carry disease.

YACHT Folder: Yacht is a computer solitaire version of the famous dicegame with the same name. The object of the game is to score as much as possible by rolling 5 dices and try to get specific combinations. Play ends when you have completed all combinations.

YTZ26 Folder: Yacht-Z is a version of the classic dice game. Now, in addition to triple scoring, single scoring is added for quicker, simpler games. Due to popular request, up to four players can now play at one time. A three dimensional look has been given to all windows and dialogs. The basic premise of the game is to roll five dice up to three times to achieve the highest score using the standard scoring grid. The specifics of scoring will be explained in the text that follows. If you are familiar with the classic game, then you already know how to play.
