Capman   
This is the coolest pacman I have ever seen! In capman, you collect pellets just like in any other pacman game. You control pacman and are chased by bugs. But unlike pacman, you fight back with things like machine guns and explosives. There are other powerups for speed and bouncing bullets as well. However, the bugs can collect power-ups as well. But don't worry, capman doesn't die on the first hit, he has a health meter. Although this game is very violent, the blood can be turned off. It is capable of multiplayer play in deathmatch or eatmatch mode, over the internet, over a network, with a link cable, or modem to modem. It also allows two players to play on the same computer. If you've ever been frustrated by the ghosts always eating your character in other pacman games, then fight back with capman. Note that if you switch out of the capman window and then back again, the display takes a few seconds to reload. And the graphics are 3-d!

ChoRenSha 68K
ChoRenSha 68K (herein known as "68K) is a retro-type 2D shooter, most similar to the classic shoot-em-up, Raiden.
In 68K you fly over the same backround throughout the entire game, but you will be to busy keeping up with the insane, blazing fast 2D action to even have time to take notice of the backround. 68K makes use of the one-hit-kills system found in many games of its type. This keeps you on your toes the whole time, as just one of the 100's of on-screen bullets can quickly put an end to your life and at the same time dousing any special fire-power you may have picked up, causing you to start your next liife with your default gun, which is hardly enough to keep you alive ones the game starts getting difficult **End too long run-on sentence**. And difficult the game will get, but don't worry, you have unlimited continues that will star you back from the beginning of the level when used. I like the continue system, since I feel that since it starts you over from the beginning of the level it does not let you be careless and waste your lives with reckless abandon. At the same time, you have unlimited chances to keep you from getting frusturated at having to start the game over.
There are only two buttons (not counting Up, Down, Left and Right) to make use of in 68K: Z and X, or Shoot and Bomb. Simple controls but I had the problem that although you can shoot without a break in your bullets, there is no rapid fire so you must keep on hitting the "Shoot" key, which can quickly tire your trigger finger.
The graphics in 68K are a blast from the 2D past. Everything looks really early 90's, arguably the height of 2D 'shmup gaming :-). The explosions are also very impressive. The sound in 68K is a bit above average.
Bottom Line: Old school shooting at it's near best, this is a real fun game that reminds you how good the 2D days were. People who don't enjoy 'shmups, especially ones without fancy graphics, should steer clear, but people with a tast for old style shooters: This is your game. Two thumbs up.

DX-Ball 
Forget everything you ever thought you knew about Pong, Breakout, and other 'break the brick' games. DX-ball delivers hard-hitting action to a highest degree of thrill. This game is one of my all-time favorites. DX-Ball comes with 50 levels.

Doukutsu Montogari~ Cave Story
Have you ever played a freeware game with so much fun and so much replay value that it stands alongside commercially-made classics? Doukutsu Montogari is that kind of game. It�s an action/adventure title complete with appropriately challenging levels, a decent story, and a fair amount of weapons.
Although in the front-page description I stated that it plays like Metroid, the game actually plays much more like a little-known PS1 game called Silhouette Mirage. If you�ve played that, you�ll find the triangle-shaped mana tokens, obscure character design, and multiple endings to be very familiar. But assuming you haven�t, I�ll tell you what the game�s about.
In Doukutsu, you start out by awaking in a small cave, not knowing your name or where you came from. You soon find out that you are on a large floating island inhabited by small rabbit-like creatures called Mimigas. You then learn that a villain called The Doctor is trying to capture them in order to create a Mimiga army. When you have completed about 1/4 of the game, you will start to choose your own path through the story. That�s the beauty of it; by answering simple yes-or-no questions during dialogue, you decide what levels you go to, what weapons you receive, and how the game ultimately ends. You can upgrade your weapons on-the-go by collecting triangle-shaped mana tokens from fallen foes. The weapons will downgrade when you are damaged while carrying them. But don�t worry; leveling up is a simple process.
Doukutsu really doesn�t suffer from any problems. You may not like the old-school graphics or sounds, but many will welcome the classic flavor. In my opinion, the game easily beats a few Nintendo classics, and even the game it is clearly inspired by, Silhouette Mirage. In the 6+ hours that I played, I never once encountered a bug, and the story and gameplay kept me interested throughout. With the occasional large amount of enemies on the screen, it may slow down once or twice on older computers, but it should run just fine. It�s even friendly to your hard drive, with a size of 395 KB zipped, and 5 MB unzipped.
If you�re an old-school gamer, enjoyed Silhouette Mirage or Metroid, or if you�re just looking for a game that will keep your attention for more than an hour, I suggest you download Doukutsu today.
NOTE: Download links to an English website where you can download both the game and the English patch. As Doukutsu Montogari is a story-based action game, it�s pretty much useless without the patch.
| PC REQUIREMENTS: Should run on almost any PC with minor slowdown |

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.
