Nexuiz is a fast-paced, chaotic, and intense multiplayer first person
shooter, focused on providing basic, old style deathmatch.
Nexuiz is built on the power of the Darkplaces engine, which is a heavily
modified version of the original Quake. Darkplaces features realtime
lighting and stencil shadows, bumpmapping, gloss, bloom, and totally
rewritten network code that supports up to 64 players on a single server.
While quality gameplay was our primary goal, its graphics technology and
artwork allows the game to compete with the current quality of commercial
games.
Any online deathmatch fan will instantly feel at home with Nexuiz' weapons
and movement style. The fast server browser and quick loading time allows
you to jump right into a game at a moments notice and play a quick game.
Now it also comes with community map pack compiled by Strahlemann. It
includes 35 maps, and a campaign mode for the user to fight through. The
map pack includes Quake3 community maps, Nexuiz community maps, and some
new maps from Nexuiz developers.
NuclearChess is a chess variant. Whenever a piece is captured, both
pieces and all pieces on neighbour fields die. Games are short and fun
even for people who usually don't play chess.
omega is a complex rogue-style game of dungeon exploration. Unlike
other such games, there are a number of ways to "win", depending on
various actions taken during play. The ways you can get your name on
the hiscore board include becoming the highest ranked head of a guild,
sect, college, etc., as well as gaining the most points figured from
possessions and experience. The game (via the oracle) may impose some
structure on your exploration, but you need not follow all of the
oracle's advice. There *is* a "total winner" status, by the way.
omega offers a richness of playing detail that goes beyond a simple
game like rogue. However, the majority of gameplay is very similar to
rogue, hack, ultrarogue, larn, and other such games. The player is
represented by the highlighted "@" symbol, objects and terrain
features are represented by non-alphabetic symbols, monsters are
represented by the various upper and lower case letters, and other
humans are represented by a non-highlighted "@". It is recommended
that the novice read the man pages for rogue or some other such game
and perhaps play a few games before playing omega.

by using the arrow keys.
Chroma is an abstract puzzle game. A variety of colourful shapes
are arranged in a series of increasingly complex patterns, forming
fiendish traps that must be disarmed and mysterious puzzles that
must be manipulated in order to give up their subtle secrets.
Initially so straightforward that anyone can pick it up and begin
to play, yet gradually becoming difficult enough to tax even the
brightest of minds.
It features:
* twenty one levels, ranging from beginner to expert
* infinite undo and redo capability, as well as replay of solutions
* a choice of smooth graphics or a minimal, text based version
* a level editor to allow you to design your own puzzles
* released under an open source licence, free to play
Have you got what it takes to solve Chroma?
