Age of Wonders

Download the version for your operating system here:

Windows 95/98
Description: The game comes with one full campaign, which you can play as either Good or Evil, and for once, the backstory isn't a lame take-off of Tolkien. Instead you're treated to a rather interesting tale of how humans first came to this land, caused a rift among the elves, and eventually threw the whole continent into chaos.

When you finish the campaign, there are plenty of standalone scenarios to whittle away the hours, as well as a fully-featured editor that -- even if you never use it yourself -- guarantees that other fans out there are making plenty of new scenarios for you to fool around with in the months to come.

Spirit of Speed 1937

Download the version for your operating system here:

Windows 95/98
Description: Today, Formula One racing attracts exorbitant amounts of money, slick advertising campaigns and the latest and greatest technology. Classic Grand Prix racing however, takes us back to the 1930s, when only the bravest and most skilful drivers competed. Without seatbelts or helmets, great names such us Louis Chiron and Rudolf Caracciola risked all to win, struggling to control their enormous eight to 16-cylinder cars, and hampered by small tyres and no suspension. Spirit of Speed 1937 faithfully reproduces the fear and adrenalin felt by these drivers. The monster cars threaten to leave the track at the slightest provocation, and such edge-of-the-seat driving is pure exhilaration.
Licence: Demo
Requirements: Pentium II 200, 32M RAM , 4x CD-ROM, DirectX 7 video card
Install instructions: Download to your local drive, then unzip it and run the EXE file.
