This PDF reader is of very poor quality and besides it shows ads it has a nag screen on program's exit ("Do you need...", "Do you want...", etc).

__philippe on 2021-07-29 07:47

CoolPdfReader v3.5.0.550, a commendably compact (3Mb) PDF utility,
unfortunately creates about 16 objectionable registry entries,
instead of a distinct settings file...:-(

Redeeming feature:
It does print PDF docs without fuss (under XP yet...),
an elementary operation my currently installed Adobe Reader XI v11.0.18 stubbornly refuses to perform

The Brazilian Portuguese is not the real language, because Files in Brazilian are not "ficheiros". They are called "Arquivos". =( I have to change to English, because Portuguese of Portugal is not my preference.

Let monsters also benefit from Detecting status effect.

Hammers are good with the undead.
Some monsters now have different diets.
Add many new sound effects.
Fixes:

Decos no longer lets you steal from him.
You can no longer leave the Black Market through walls.
Slightly nerf Black Market.

Running in wilderness now correctly takes stamina.
Fix some quest messages not being saved as already displayed.
Reveal gas traps when you step on them.
Fix several places where panic immunity or disease immunity was not respected.
Fix several crafting bugs, hopefully preventing crashes.
Fix Terra not offering priestly services after you killed Lobh-se.
Spill more water over a burning player when they pray to Silva, so there's a better chance to be extinguished.
Prevent long strings in config options from overflowing when displayed.
Prevent building features in owned rooms.
Explosive liquids can no longer be used to douse flames.
Wands of webbing were not causing hostility.
Fix horns of fear causing panic without checking the panic resistance of the victim.
Remove redundant messages from auto map notes.
Fix sitting on fountains and drinking from non-water fountains.
Fix AI not using equipped zappable items.
Make taming/possessing more powerful creatures scale correctly.

This entry needed a desperate clean-up and update. I've replaced the pak128 download link with the actual game and added a note about the graphics paks. The rest of the entry has been updated appropriately.

aazard on 2020-11-12 00:46

The CURRENT (2020-11-12) "offline" aka portable version instrustions:

Lots of forum searching to find this "stand-alone/offline portable install method note".

The "complete" stand-alone offline version is found here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/simutrans/files/Simutrans%20complete/102-2-2/

Optional to reduce size:

Downloading the smallest "graphics pak" which is: "Pak32 Comic" found here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/simutrans/files/pak32.comic/pak32.comic%20for%20102-0/

THEN renamE the folder from "pak32" to "pak" and delete/replace the original.

Remove all languages/fonts but the main one you speak/read (example: English for me with font "Prop-Latin1.bdf")

This will result in SMALLEST SIZE, current graphics game: unzipped, file "fixed" and UPX'ed (lzma) compressed size: 4.19mb

aazard on 2020-11-12 00:49

@ 4.19mb in on drive size; this is the most current (still being updated) simcity/open TTD like game that is will run on ANY PC current enough to have a USB port.

*Note: as you might see from many of my posts I have a fever for "best bang per kb" in portable apps. Can we make lists here in forums?

A lot of people here trying to delete multiples of the same image - I just wanted to give a shout out to Dup Detector, which is a great piece of software that does exactly that.

Dup Detector doesn't just do file-size/checksum analysis, it actually analyzes the images to find similarities. E.g. one could be black & white and the other can be color, or one can be watermarked, or one could be taken 2 seconds later because someone blinked & it'll find both and display them to you and ask which one you want to delete or if you want to keep both. You can choose how strict it is in its matching algorithm - 100% mach, 95% match etc.

You can even have it set up to automatically select which one to delete based on rules - e.g. the smaller one. Then you just approve the selection by hitting the space bar, or you can just let it do its thing automatically, or you can go full-manual mode and click the image you want to delete. Super fast way to delete duplicates and easy to use. I've used it professionally to manage large image catalogs that had a lot of duplicates of different sizes.

Unfortunately, it's not portable.

The latest version I have is 3.3.02 from July 8, 2011. You can get an earlier version from rareware.

Of course these are minor nitpicks and do not decimate the value of the application. If recovering your files are a life and death situation than this should be the last thing on your mind.

Honestly, when you accidentally delete something important off from your memory card or hard drive, the best solution to take them all back is to copy them back from your prepare drive or card data backups. Therefore, making data backups is really important.
But, if you also unfortunately forget to save data backups on other places, data recovery software is really workable when the previous data is not overwritten by anything new.

Great game! Tempest was my all-time favorite when I was a kid. I used to love getting up to the invisible levels, playing for like 1/2 hour on a single quarter :P (not like today's arcade games where it's like a dollar a minute...)

Can anyone suggest though a controller for this game, though? I can't deal with the mouse-- this game needs a full 360 "paddle" like the original game to really play it properly. Just not the same otherwise. Anybody know of something like this that would connect to the computer? (and would the game recognize it?)
I might have to try the author....
In any case he did a great job capturing the feel of the original!

I switch different bands frequently so it's really a pain in the ass if I want to remove 100 bands in the list and throw another set of bands. Overall, this player still rocks.

Stranded 2 is an open-ended game about exploration and survival. Use just about anything you can find to build tools, shelter, weapons or even rafts. The more you do the more your skills grow, allowing you to do even more things or become more efficient at your current abilities. If you fish for most of your food you'll eventually learn to create special nets to automatically catch fish for you. If you harvest a great deal you'll learn how to plant herb gardens and eventually be able to plant new trees.

The game enables completely random islands or you can even generate your own. Note that there is also a story mode to introduce you to the game (Bonus points for being able to tame a Velociraptor and ride it around while being stoned out of your mind).

My mod is not completed yet as the majority of my time is spent writing my mod viewer (available from the stranded forums) but if you take the time to have a look at the mod viewer, you'll see why.

Again, many off the questions you guys have concerning gameplay are answered on the forums. You get the key for the locked crate when you progress in the adventure.

I know I keep banging on about the forums and I ain't even the creator,, but if it wasn't for the great community, I wouldn't have made my mod viewer.

Seizure Dome

Checker on 3 Aug 2014
  • 11MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Fluffy

Seizure Dome is an arena shooter with plenty of motion blurring, flashing colors and hefty pixels. Your goal is to destroy everything that comes at you without being pushed to the sides of the screen or otherwise disposed of. Addictive action combined with stomach-churning visual effects and a song that you'll never get out of your head is what this game is all about.

Contains some mild nudity, although 8-bit and not graphic by any stretch of the imagination.

Note: Please exercise your personal discretion as to whether your health permits playing this game; the name is not to be taken lightly at all. If you suffer from headaches, nausea or photosensitive seizures while playing any other game you will likely want to avoid this one.

Xpadder assigns keystrokes to your gamepad, giving you the ability to use your gamepad with any application you want (including older games with poor or no gamepad support such as DOS games). It also supports multiple gamepads, so playing multiplayer games with individual gamepads is a breeze. Combine this program's powerful features with its intuitive design and the result is an application that no one owning a gamepad should be without.

Note: the program has gone payware. Linking to the last freeware version (thanks Napiophelios).

MinishoterRS Delta

MinishoterRS Delta is an amazing Japanese shmup that does everything right: lots of levels (including hidden ones), multiple selectable ships (including unlockable ones), great retro music and sound effects, optional boss battle mode for practice and plenty of other hidden extras. The game is played in very low resolution, though this can be magnified with the Q, W and E keys, and controlled with direction buttons along with A and Z. Though the website and program are Japanese in origin, most of the in-game text is in English.

An example of in-game video.

Functional in Linux via WINE.

This game is loads of fun if you're a shooter fan. It's a little on the frantic side with some curtain-style projectile dodging, but it's got a good mix of ship options to suit anyone's preferences, and lots of content.

I have to admit I tried this game without realizing you could change the screen size, it did seem to play nicer when squinting at a 2inch box =)
It seems a great game though, I only unlocked to more ships so far though ;'( I'm crap at it

  • Released on
  • Suggested by Fluffy

THG Task Assignment Manager is an invaluable utility for anyone with a multi-processor or multi-core computer. It allows you to increase the speed of your computer by configuring certain tasks to individual processors. Known as "affinity," this will save your program settings and maintain profiles of them in the future. This has many benefits including:

  • Keeping one program from using all your system resources
  • Increasing speed to two or more programs that aren't optimized for multi-processor systems
  • Helping run some games that require a correct affinity setting to run properly
Note: The program has to be configured and then actively running for processor affinity to work; it does not function automatically.

CursorUS v1.9

CursorUS is a small application that eliminates the boundaries of your screen in the same way that many games do: they "wrap" the mouse over. In other words, move your mouse past the left side of your screen and it'll appear on the right side. Takes plenty getting used to but can be pretty handy. It is very customizable as well.

Don't use this in a multi-monitor environment. When you move your mouse to you 2nd monitor, it wraps & you can't get to it! It's also a major pain to get your task bar to pop-up if you have it on auto-hide. Other then that, it's a cool app.

iisys on 2008-10-18 11:56

Wow, this really is a nice app. It let's you really FEEL how small your screen actually is (or how big, if you've got a big screen :')). But that's not a bad thing, because with this app, there are no boundaries around that small screen.

I wanted a file manger and saw this one. It seemed familiar but i had trouble finding a valid download link. When i found one i saw a screen shot and suddenly remembered why i hadn't already got it.
Sproaticus had the answer. It's really UGLY.
I'm going to download it and see if it really is as difficult to use though.

Technomancer on 2010-03-07 19:29

Wouldn't it be nice if, when trying to download some software, you could click on a download link and go straight to the correct download page.
I still haven't managed to download this software. Why?.
Because there's no download link. When you click on the website link it takes you to a website, (NANOCODESOFT), on which i can't find Ultramanger.
If i do a search on 'google' there are plenty of references to 'Ultramanager' but they all seem to take you to web sites that have nothing to do with 'Ultramanager' or don't work.
I managed to download a file which i thought was 'Ultramanager' but it turned out to be a single page file manager that didn't display any files.

OK, i've let some steam off now, BUT, i would recommend 'FreeCommander' over ANY of the others. It might not have media players or lights and bells, but it is excellent and easy to use and it works.

Sorry for my outburst(s) but at least i didn't swear.

hiya.. actually this is the first time that i hear of such an error, so maybe it's your (old?) drivers fault.
(as it works perfectly on a whole bunch of different gfx-cards (intel, nvidia, ati) and also different generations (radeon1/2/3, geforce2/3/4/fx/6, quadro4/fx, ... ...))

Did nasty things with my Matrox dual head G450 with the latest drivers installed! - error messages:
*Couldn't Init multiTextures*
*Couldn't Init LockArrays*
*Couldn't Init Texture_env_combine*
*Couldn't Init Texture_env_add*
- after all that the intro screen launched but I ahd to cntrl+alt+del to get out as nothing worked and I couldn't select any options (like options, start game, exit etc)
not pretty :/

Mu-cade v0.11

webfork on 14 Sep 2017
  • 7MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Fluffy

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.

WARNING: I startet iv.exe and got the "Press any Button"-screen. Then nothing happened no matter what I did. When I tried the Esc-key, my entire WinXP crashed down!
Don't use this.

@9k.lai You have to hit the "Z" button, not any key. (On qwertz keyboards "Y") That's all.

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.

Speed Shooter is a unique cross between a card game and an arcade game. There are four endless stocks of cards that are controlled by the keys [Z,X,C,V]. Each key throws a card onto the playing field. If the space on the playing field contains a card that is either directly above or below the card's value, it is destroyed and can possibly trigger a chain reaction on the surrounding cards.
