DxWnd lets you run many applications that default to fullscreen in a window, ideal for games. The program is a Win32 "hooker" program that intercepts and alters the behavior of window messages and APIs. It picks up events and injects code into the configured tasks to run fullscreen programs in a windowed environment while maintaining expected behavior.

Who are you? Like if gho the main guy behind DxWnd move over to Github, only then I would consider it an "official" repo, but other wise it seems pretty unofficial to me when a random person sets one up.

@Fire The Fox: Arcade! was last released back in 2013, so what's the problem? Or should we just trust your word?

actually Space Invaders is much easier than the arcade version, must be the difficulty level is turned down to normal. I never got past 10,000 points on the arcade version but got almost 200k with this one. Space Invaders is also the most playable of the available games, with just a keyboard |

Super Mario War is a tribute to the old "versus" Mario games with a wealth of features and game modes. The goal is to primarily hop on your opponents, though powerups such as Fire Flowers, Hammers, Invincibility and more are available to help you defeat your foes. AI "bots" are also available and are usually quite a challenge, though their performance can vary from map to map. Super Mario War also supports extra maps and skins.

It's perfectly available, but they're hosting it at a new place. Open up the website, hit "Download Game" and you'll see the address of the new place. Type it in (you'll be led to a forum) and look for a sticky that says something along the lines of "Super Mario War [version] Released!"
