Populous: The Beginning

Populous: The Beginning is a real-time strategy video game and is the third entry in the Populous video game series, developed by Bullfrog Productions. The game was released in 1998 on Microsoft Windows, and in 1999 for the PlayStation. Unlike earlier games in the series, which cast the player in the role of a god influencing loyal followers, The Beginning took a radical departure and placed the player in the role of a shaman, who directly leads her tribe against opponents.

Depths Of Fear :: Knossos

Depths Of Fear Double Colon Knossos is a first-person Rogue-like developed by a one-man studio. It's also a true diamond in the rough, with low-poly models and clunky animations that only add to the strong atmosphere of mystery and danger that emanates from its procedurally-generated levels.

Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer

Take to the waves and score points in this surfing spin-off of the Tony Hawk series.

Worms Blast

The gameplay of Worms Blast is similar to that of Puzzle Bobble/Bust-a-Move, but with several key differences. There is a hexagonal grid of coloured blocks at the top of the screen, while the player's character sits on a boat floating in water. Unlike Puzzle Bobble, it is able to move side to side. There are multiple weapons that can be used, however the only weapon the player has to start with is a bazooka. As with Worms, holding down the fire button increases the power behind the weapon's launch, affecting how far it will travel.

Gemini Rue

Azriel Odin, ex-assassin, arrives on the rain-drenched planet of Barracus. When things go horribly wrong, he can only seek help from the very criminals he used to work for. Meanwhile, across the galaxy, a man called Delta-Six wakes up in a hospital with no memory. Without knowing where to turn or who to trust, he vows to escape before he loses his identity completely. As fate brings these two closer together, we discover a world where life is cheap, identities are bought and sold, and a quest for redemption can change the fate of a whole galaxy.

Serious Sam: Double D

It's only a 2.5D side-scrolling platform shooter, but somehow Double D managed to capture the intensity and wackiness of the Serious Sam FPSs. Hordes of well-known monsters from the 3D games and new baddies of all sizes, power-ups, secrets, it has it all. And lo and behold, the Gun Stacker system lets you combine and use multiple weapons as one massively insane superkillertool.

A demo is available on Steam.

Previously released as Railworks 2, Train Simulator 2012, Train Simulator 2013, Train Simulator 2014, Train Simulator 2015, and Train Simulator 2016; previous owners get free upgrades to the newest version.

Lego Racers

Kart racing title set in the Lego "universe". Target audience is kids.

Red Eclipse

An open-source "first-person ego-shooter" (which means Quake-like, and not "self-inflicted shooting simulator" as one may think).
