There isnt one here, and I am in the need of playing new games, I have found a few good ones. Anyone got any I should play that havent already been mentioned?


The two best I have found are
Crimsonland, hard, but fun, found here http://crimsonland.reflexive.com/crimsonland/

and Hidden and Dangerous, full game, and its expansion, released as freeware to promote the second game, if you have a fast connection, search for a place to download and get it (I would supply a link, but the place I got if from wasnt so good, had to download something just to download it)

Anyway, if you know of any, pass the links along so I can play

Yeah, it's great. The controls are a bit crappy and take some getting used to, but after that it's a great game. If you have broadband and like action games, i'd say go for it.

EDIT : This is a good download mirror :

I just remember the games from www.zapspot.com I was one of their beta-testers. But since 2001 they never released a game anymore. But the site is still online and a lot of funny little downloadable games to play.

*just downloaded Moeboid again. My favourite.*

Now you've done it. *gets his CD case and retrieves "Backup: Executable games," "Backup: Zipped games 1" and "Backup: Zipped games 2"

*begins an extensive search*

Hmmm.... Some searching has revealed that some of them aren't availible anymore.

I'll have to upload them, which might take a while, give me an hour or so....

Edit: Err... I just realized I lost my FTP program last time I reinstalled windows (damn PSP), this might take a wee bit longer...

Edit2: Alright, here it goes (in no particular order):


Eternal daughter -- http://gamehippo.com/download1/download1_1382.shtml
<n>A professional quality platform game with excellent pixel art and solid gameplay. I didn't play all that far into it (about 12% or so I think) and that was enough to keep me busy for weeks (this is, of course, only playing it ocassionally, not continuously) so if you can keep from getting frustrated it's a great game to keep you busy.

Unfortunately, however, at nearly nine and a half megabytes it's a bit of a choker for dial up connections, although that won't pose a problem if you have any sort of broadband.</n>


Siege -- http://gamehippo.com/download1/download1_1025.shtml
<n>A great Action/Puzzle/Strategy game where you must defend your kingdom from attacks, and at the same time try and destroy your enemy's empire. You know what they say: A good offense is the best defense.

The artwork is very good, and the gameplay is excellent and well thought out. While it does get repetetive after a while it's great for a few hours of entertainment.</n>


Soldat -- http://soldat.prv.pl/
<n>If you like mindless carnage Soldat is a perfect time wasting game, the kinetic animation makes for nearly endless gameplay, and the map maker extends that further. The links leads to the homepage, where you can get the latest version.</n>


The Rob Blanc series -- http://fee.magickalrealm.com/RobBlanc1.zip | http://fee.magickalrealm.com/RobBlanc2.zip | http://fee.magickalrealm.com/RobBlanc3.zip
<n>An excellent adventure game series that I personally enjoyed greatly. I was sad to find out after compelting it that the third installment would be the last, and all links to anything related to Rob Blanc and the creator seem to be broken. Fortunately I still have the zips.</n>


Moonstone -- http://fee.magickalrealm.com/mstone.zip | http://fee.magickalrealm.com/mstoneMan.zip
<n>A very entertaining old dos game, especially if you can get it to work correctly. It's a perfect combonation of great artwork, good sound and great gameplay. Esentially you are a knight on a quest for power, and ultimately a place in the heavens.

It's not as easy as you might think though. In order to achieve that though you have to hack, slash and jab your way through hordes of monsters of every description. And, to make matters worse several other knights of equal power seek to stop you in your quest by stealing the keys that you need and trying to kill you.

It's a great game, and provided me with hours of fun, be sure to download the manual too though (second link above), because the controls are very non standard, but very good once you get used to them.</n>


Decker -- http://fee.magickalrealm.com/Decker.zip
<n>An original game where you play a hacker on a quest to become the best there is. A very rogue-like game, but with a different twist. It's actually quite difficult to explain, the best way to find out is to try it.</n>



And that's about it, for now. Don't get me wrong; there are plenty more, but I don't know how many more uploads I can take in one night... If you like some of these I'll upload more tomorrow.

That is the most horrid looking, frightening piece of video game I have ever seen, as I have said before, it looks like a little girls coloring book

And I have played the Barbie game for nintendo, which I might add, wasnt as scary as Furcadia is... though scary...

I know, but look at it, its horrid... frightening, the characters you can choose from at the beginning look like the person who drew them was on something at the time....

Well you never know, I hear one of the creators was a little sickboy back then.
