The Adventure for the Two Herbs (Deadheat)

This was created for a competition over at Gmclans. I wasn’t allowed to use any graphics at all apart from basic shapes, and no shape was allowed to have more then one colour. It was also created in one week. It’s basically your typical exploration / adventure game with some light / terrible humor thrown in haha.[Author’s Description]

As of June 2007, the original developer no longer maintains a website for C-Dogs, but the project continues to live on via the “C-Dogs SDL” port by Jeremy Chin and Lucas Martin-King.[Wikipedia]

Wizard of Wor Remix (jph_wachesky)


…the AI is sorta cool. If you want to fight the other player, the AI will retaliate if shot,. even accidentally! Otherwise the AI will just hunt monsters. I added this as it is a two player game, and I needed to test,. in the end the AI is one of my favorite elements of this program.[Author’s Description]

Tango Strike (Fallen Angel Industries)


Beau’s cute little counter-terrorist action/strategy game hit us hard in 2004. […] In traditional Beau fashion, the extras go above and beyond here, and you may find that those extra levels you discover are like entire classic games themselves. Good luck![Author’s Description]
