Biplanes (Peter Mason, Aisling Canton)

So, this is a remake of Peter Mason’s Amiga game Biplane Duel & its update Salmon-Pink Max (from 22 years ago! *weeps*) which turned up on the coverdisks of Amiga Format and Amiga Power way back in the early 90s. It is a magnificently tight two player competitive game, and aside from one unfortunate bug, tuned to perfection. For many years, it was a constant go-to game to be dug out from the great pile of old coverdisks when friends were round of an evening.[Author's Description]

Fight of the Sumo Hoppers (Tuomas Korppi)

Because the game is so unassuming in its elegant simplicity, it may take a while before you realize how deep — and realistic– the game really is.[Review on Old-Games.com]

Ski Stunt Simulator (Michiel van de Panne)


“This project implements a realistic planar simulation of the physics involved in performing acrobatic ski stunts. The pose of the skier can be interactively controlled with the mouse. Thus performing any given stunt requires the right combination of both physics and skill, as in real life. A large variety of stunts can be performed, including anything ranging from a triple back flip to a triple front flip. The resulting simulator can be viewed as a game, a teaching tool for kinesiology, or as a preliminary sports prototyping tool. “[Author's Description]

Playpen (Farbs)

As you wander through the world of PlayPen, clicking from picture to picture by depressing your left mouse button whenever you find an interesting text prompt hidden in the images, you visit places, people, ideas and imaginings created by other players. Sometimes a text prompt will include the words (Draw new page). If you follow one of these prompts, you’ll find yourself looking at an empty image and a simple set of drawing tools. This is your opportunity to get creative.[Author's Description]

Bokorin (Ikiki)

In Bokorin, your opponents (victims?) fall from the sky and the goal is to “juggle” them in the air with repeated hits. Press the Shift button to jump and Control to perform attacks. “Z” slows down time, allowing you to extend your multiplier by keeping more people in the air at one time.[Description on TIGDB]
