Download the version for your operating system here:

Windows 95/98
Description: Another polished production from LucasArts, Grim Fandango is an adventure game in the style of Day of the Tentacle and the Monkey Island Trilogy: you can’t die or get stuck, the solutions to puzzles have more to do with flair than lateral thinking, and puns and jokes are rampant.
Requirements: Demo
Install instructions: Internet Explorer users just click on the file and choose Open to run the setup program straight from the CD. Nestcape users download to your local drive and run the EXE file.

H.E.D.Z.

 

Download the version for your operating system here:

Windows 95
Description: It is easy to become jaded when the latest game to hit the shelves is yet another first person shooter or real-time strategy title. It's refreshing, then, to see a game like H.E.D.Z. (Head Extreme Destruction Zone) come along. It has more in common with console platform games than any of the traditional PC titles, and is a reminder of a time when computer games did not take themselves too seriously.
Requirements: Demo
Install instructions: Download to your local drive, then unzip it and run the EXE file.

Madden NFL 99

Download the version for your operating system here:

Windows 95
Description: Though I love Madden NFL 99, I do have to say that if you're not a fan of American football, you probably won't get much out of it. You don't need to know the difference between a playaction passing play and a quarterback sneak, but you do need a basic understanding of the concept of American football and how it is played. If you do like the game, but don't know a great deal, there is an Arcade mode that provides an easier way to play.
Requirements: Demo
Install instructions: Internet Explorer users just click on the file and choose Open to run the setup program straight from the CD. Nestcape users download to your local drive and run the EXE file.

Trespasser

 

Download the version for your operating system here:

Windows 95/98
Description: At last, an FPS game that isn't just mindless aggression with no plot! Trespasser differs from the normal 'find a big gun and make a big mess' model by playing on the other engaging aspect of first person shooters -- the concept of survival.
Requirements: Demo
Install instructions: Download it to your local drive, then unzip it and run the EXE file.
