Mu-cade is a very unique shooter that is reminiscent of Centipede and the old classic Nibbles, with a healthy dose of smooth physics and King of the Hill gameplay. Keep from falling off the edges by pushing enemies off the playfield, either with bullets or your ever-growing tail. The physics engine allows you to use this tail in a variety of ways, and you can sacrifice your tail to wipe out enemy bullets and gain a little boost in shot power. However, keeping a long tail will give you large multipliers for points.

Atomic Butcher is a side-scrolling action game in the spirit of Abuse, but much more violent and graphic. Battle across the radiation-warped wasteland of Earth in search for meat to feed your shelter, using the mouse to aim and the keyboard to move.

Warning: NOT for the easily offended, as it contains plenty of blood, gore and urine. There is also a package offered that does not contain the music files, which cuts the size in half (roughly 30 megabytes).

Wok is a simple and addictive game in which you toss paper to the right side of the screen with the mouse. Higher scores are achieved by collecting many balls in the wok and throwing them all at once. If any paper falls to the bottom of the screen, the game is over.

Tumiki Fighters is a side-scrolling shoot-em-up with a fun twist: the enemies you shoot down can be captured and added to your own arsenal, each of which gives you bonus points every second. The broken parts you collide with will stick to your ship and fire normally at your enemies, and also serve as extra layers of defense. There is also a "slow" key which reduces your movement and hides all attached pieces to prevent them from being destroyed.

Garden Gnome Carnage is a game that combines a few of life's most interesting pleasures: explosions, bungee and, well, more explosions! In Garden Gnome Carnage you control a building on wheels with a garden gnome attached to the chimney by a bungee cord. Your goal is to stop elves from reaching the chimney by knocking them off with the gnome, shaking them off, calling in airstrikes or having your gnome grab explosive bricks from your building and dropping them on your foes.

World of Padman is a zany cartoon first-person shooter that features creative weapons, creative game modes and a very unique style. From the gorgeous environments to the cute characters and plastic weapons, this game has a very professional feel with just the right amount of slapstick gameplay. Definitely not a game to be missed!

Typhoon 2001 is a remake of the classic Atari Jaguar game, Tempest 2000, which is in itself a remake of the classic game Tempest. This remake, however, is loaded with plenty of graphic bells and whistles as well as a great soundtrack.
