FastStone Capture is a powerful, flexible and intuitive screen-capture utility. It allows you to capture anything on the screen including windows, objects, full screen, rectangle regions, freehand-selected regions and scrolling windows/web pages. It has innovative features such as a floating Capture Panel, hotkeys, resizing, cropping, text annotation, printing, e-mailing, screen magnifier and many more.
Reported to function in Windows 7 and in Linux under WINE.
Note: FastStone Capture went payware starting from v5.4 so I have made the last freeware version available (v5.3) for direct download as the license agreement does not prohibit redistribution.

@jimdorey: I'm a little confused why we had a listing that this works with Win10 -- it really doesn't. When this version of the program stopped being developed, Win7 wasn't even out yet. Anyway, I recommend trying another software package for that OS. I've updated the entry.

@jimdorey: v5.3 works fine on my win 10 x64 using a 1080p screen resolution. Maybe you're using a high DPI screen/4k monitor, and only the last version (8.4, payware, but worth every penny) works fine in that case.

CloneSpy can help you free up hard drive space by detecting and removing duplicate files with exactly the same contents regardless of their name, date, time, or location. Also, CloneSpy is able to find files that are not exactly identical, but have the same file name. This can be an issue for example if you have different versions of a file and you want to find and remove the older versions. CloneSpy is able to find zero-byte files.
Note: The installer now allows you to choose between a 32 or 64-bit version of CloneSpy.

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).

I love this player so much. The only prob I have is I can't remove a bunch of songs at once. I have to delete them one by one. Not even dragging works. 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. |
Taksi is a video/screen capture tool for 3D applications. It can capture from almost any DirectX, OpenGL or GDI window and capture video of the contents. Although videos can be compressed, this is not recommended as it further slows down an already taxing process
Note: This program does not appear to be in development any longer so some features are not implemented (such as recording audio).

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.

Sumotori Dreams is more of an exercise in creating self-balancing characters than it is an actual game, but the utter hilarity involved makes this little gem worth keeping. While it offers little to no gameplay value it delivers something no other game can: a physics simulation of two incredibly drunk people shoving each other and trying to stand up after falling over countless times.

IVAN, short for Iter Vehemens Ad Necem, is probably one of the meanest rogue-like games out there. It uses graphical tiles instead of ASCII graphics, and also features all kinds of unique features, such as a fully functional locational damage system (losing limbs won't kill you, but it sure doesn't help), flexible character development environment, and a fluid system where you can track monsters by their blood trails.

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.

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.

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.

Duty and Beyond is an above-average adventure game about a man who will deliver a pizza at any cost. A nice twist in this game is that there's no need to backtrack to find items: they will appear in your inventory when you need them at the expense of your overall score.
