Blobby Volley   
This is a cool German 3D game - with attributes like wild, weird and wonderful! It's about two blobs playing volleyboll on the beach. Each blob can be controlled either by the computer or by a human, which makes this game a 0-2 multiplayer game. The computer player (Adam) has 3 skill levels. The rule of the game is simple. You can only score when you serve and the player who reaches 15 points wins the set. I found it easiest to play using the mouse instead of the keyboard. You will probably need some practice with the timing and coordination of the jumps because a blob cannot jump fast. The ball also bounces against the screen edges which takes some time to get used to. Don't expect super-fast action in Blobby Volley, but it's still really neat! On the main screen you can select English, which I think is a nice freature.
Note: The game played smoothly without DirectX hardware support on a 400 MHz CPU.

Happyland Xmas 
The scene is that you are located in Happyland where of course everyone is happy. But wait, something is not right! There is evil - and your task is to disarm the evil. You have to transport them to the "box" from where they cannot escape. There is a good help menu within the game that explains all the details. As a little hint to get started with the game: Don't forget that you can also walk to the left and not only scroll the game scene to the right. There are many funny features in this cool 7-level adventure game such as the low-gravity boots and that you can talk to the old man for help/hints. The graphics as well as the sound effects are good. Happyland Xmas also comes with a mapeditor. You can also download more levels (maps) at the homepage.

Hidden and Dangerous Deluxe 
Overview
Set during World War II, Hidden & Dangerous (henceforth known as "HDD") is a formely commercial squad based first and third person tactical shooter, somewhat like a WWII version of Rainbow Six, which was released (along with a slew of extra features: the Expansion Pack, re-done graphics and mod-maker) for free to promote the sequel, cunningly titled Hidden and Dangerous 2.
Graphics
Graphics are as, one might expect, rather good, with clean models, lush scenery and fairly smooth animation. However, they are very 'last-generation', with angular features, and a distinct lack of real variety (all your teammates faces look the same, for example) and a lack of 'living' animations (such as breathing, emotion and so on). This can be forgiven to a certain extent, as being a shooter, the aim is usually to make the other team STOP living. Plus the game is originally from the late '90s. However, I must mention that the weapon models are very, very basic, and seem more like 2D sprites rather then solid 3D models, giving a feeling of artificality to the game, however, they can be turned off under the Options menu. I ran the game on a 32MB generic video card at 800x600 and experienced an excellent (60+) framerate.
Sounds and Music
Sound isn't all that good. It seems to come from a variety of 'emitters' dotted around the levels, which is fine if your standing right underneath one, the guns roar, the commands are bellowed, but if your standing a distance from one, the guns sound weak and waterlogged, and you'll be lucky to hear what you just said, which can lead to utter amazement/confusion if you accidently tap the wrong button, as your squad will quite happily throw themselves onto a machine gun nest, forcing a restart.
Gameplay
Gameplay is brilliant. There's a steep learning curve though, made harder by the sometimes clunky interface and awful default bindings. Basically, you choose a team of eight soldiers, each with different skills, then load them up with whatever guns, ammunition, explosives and other equipment you think they'll need. Be warned though, these eight soldiers have to last the WHOLE campaign, if one of them dies in a mission, thats it, hes gone for good, along with any equipment he was carrying on him.
The actual ingame game is tense, edge-of-your seat sneaking, sniping and sabotage, with genuine moments of explosive action as your suddenly rushed by the games variable (from occasional moments of genuine skill, to being nearly moronic) A.I. In a nice twist, the same damage applies to you and your team as to your enemies. The game takes full advantage of this, if a sniper gets a bead on you he'll do his best to shoot you in the head, which will kill instantly, rather then waste precious ammo trying to kill you with 2-3 body shots. A number of vehcles can be piloted, and some even require your entire team to operate it.
Ordering your troops around can be handled one of two ways. You have basic voice commands (think Counter-Strike or similar) to a far more intuitive and complex map-based system, you should be warned though that mass-rushing won't ever work. Not even on the first stage. The game is moderatley violent, however there is no dismemberment, and blood is restricted to a small gush which is only really visible through a sniper scope.
Conclusion
Overall, HDD is tense and enjoyable WWII fun. It's not all peachy though, I have experienced an above-average amount of random crashings and lock-ups, and some weapons are useless or too simliar to standard equipment be worth scavenging. The game also contains a number of historical innaccuracies: The sniper scopes have variable amounts of zoom, and the German officers are equipped with American weapons for example, which seems a little odd when you consider that the game does its best to immerse you in its world. Be warned: this game is nothing like Medal of Honour or Call of Duty, and those with a low tolerance for doing the same repeated thing again, and again will probably be bored to tears. Everyone else is recommended to at least try it, even those with dial-up modems.
Note: The adware in this game is an advert for Hidden And Dangerous 2, which only displays when you have chosen to exit the game from the main menu. No spyware such as Cydoor is installed

Paintball Party
Paintball Party has nice graphics and animations of the characters (cloned from Duke Nukem). This version of Duke Nukem is friendlier without harmful weapons etc. Not only can you create your own levels but you can also design your own characters - very cool feature! Among other features: 6 standard levels, 2-4 player modes, many types of ammo. This updated version includes network play and some bug fixes.

Dink Smallwood
Dink Smallwood was re-released as freeware in October 1999. In this 25Mb game, you control Dink Smallwood, a pig farmer. Although he is a peasant, he dreams of going on an adventure to prove that he is a great hero. This game is lots of fun and quite humorous as well. This game occasionally gives you choices about whether to be a good person or not, which makes it a poor game for younger children. For example, Dink may choose to allow his aunt to be beaten by his uncle and even may encourage it. Even the name of the game/protagonist has pejorative connotations. Although this, the blood, and a few strange scenes make this game a little bit twisted, Dink is incredibly fun and has various features like spells, weapons, items, shops, experience and level ups. Best of all, Dink features a dmod creator and player. This feature allows you to play even more Dink worlds than the two worlds that it comes with. These dmods often continue Dink's adventure, but the dmod editor is versatile enough that other types of games such as Arkanoid can be created. If you have a sense of humor and enjoy RPG's, you will love Dink Smallwood. More dmods may be downloaded at the Dink homepage or at various fan pages. Click here to download the beta patch (1.07). Users of newer versions of windows (WinME, Win2K, etc.) may need this patch.
