Lost Labyrinth is a graphical rogue-like game with emphasis on exploration and character strategies. It offers a wealth of options during character generation to ensure plenty of versatility, which also gives the game nearly endless replay value. Each game is fairly short but has that "just one more time" feeling.

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.

DoomRL is a fast-paced Rogue-like game that's heavily inspired by id Software's Doom. As with many Rogue-like games, graphics are represented with ASCii characters, but DoomRL uniquely incorporates sound as well.

This release is dedicated to NEW content. There are several new special levels paired with the old ones for greater randomness! Visit the Military Base, find Mt. Erebus or feel the dread of Limbo. Along with new special levels, there are new level generators and enhancements to the old ones. For the pro-players, we have brand-new Dual-Angel and Archangel challenges (with a corresponding hidden Badge level), and Custom challenges for everyone. Be sure to also check out Gunrunner, the new Scout master trait! |

v0.9.9.6 is available. Since there seem to have been some major additions, I don't know if it is still portable.

In testing both HQ and LQ versions of v0.997 BOTH use TILES AS GRAPHICS BY DEFAULT |
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.
