54321 takes five classic two-dimensional puzzle games and extends them into three and four dimensions. For more information, see the help within the game.

All ranks made on official servers are available worldwide and you can collect points!

commercially available on CD. It seems to run only under x86.

You will need the CD, this port only helps you install and deinstall the game and get it to run under FreeBSD.

The principal differences between KnightCap and other chess programs are:

• KnightCap has an optional fully rendered 3D interface, giving a feel much more like an "over the board" game.
• KnightCap was developed to run on a parallel distributed memory machine, although it also runs on normal Unix boxes.
• KnightCap does not have an opening book---instead it keeps a file (brain.dat) of losing moves and inserts them in the hash table at the start of each search. At present it has about 1500 entries, and this makes it a pretty competitive opening player.
• KnightCap learns the parameters of its evaluation function as it plays. The most dramatic example of how this helps is an experiment we conducted on FICS in which KnightCap learnt from a 1650 player to a 2100 player in just 300 games. See http://cs.anu.edu.au/people/Lex.Weaver/pub_sem/publications knightcap.pdf for more info on its learning algorithm.

play levels from all classic-era Tomb Raider games (TR 1-5) and custom TRLE levels. The project does not use any old Tomb Raider source code, because all attempts to retrieve sources from Eidos / Core were in vain.

an old church in which to hide, not knowing that beneath its ruins lay buried an ancient evil.

A style close to Spectrum ZX, with its dark background and bright colors, proper fit with the story, because it does look old and somewhat horrifying. Also, the gameplay is direclty inspired by Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy.

DirectMedia Layer library. This allows Abuse to run at screen depths greater than 8bpp as well as fullscreen.

Abuse-SDL has the following extra features over the original Abuse:

The latest version includes clones of freecell, golf, mastermind, merlin, minesweeper, pegged, solitaire, taipei (with editor!), and thornq (by Martin Thornquist).

design objective was to provide source code that could be easily compiled and executed on a wide variety of platforms. To that end, acm is written entirely in C, exploiting the programming features of Unix, X11, and the BSD socket interface.

Players engage in air to air combat against one another using heat seeking missiles and cannons.

ACM is implemented as two programs. The first, named "acm", is a small program that, when invoked, starts a flight session on a given workstation. The second component, named "acms", is a server process that manages the multiplayer environment. It also manages the flight simulation and display management that is required. Most players will prefer to run the acms process on a back-end server system on their local area network. Players at client workstations can then invoke the acm program to begin play.

As a loyal servant of the elven Lady Silverhair, you arrive at the remote trading post of Waste's Edge, where she is engaged in negotiations with the dwarish merchant Bjarn Fingolson.

The project's goals are the creation of an engine (currently going by the codename adonthell), a set of tools and an actual, playable game driven by that engine and built with those tools.

platform independent log format (meta log format), and generates meaningful (and very pretty!) stats and ranking pages in HTML form. Overall features:

• Split into two executables to make the code more modular (independent of specific games/mod). This also makes updates quicker and less prone to new bugs.
• Modules are command line driven, giving you the maximum control of the the executables, without having to deal with klutzy platform dependent interfaces. This makes it possible to control the modules via batch files or scripts. Ideal for automating calls.
• HTML output is eatable by any browser with frames. Since plain HTML code is generated, any user should be able to view the output.
• Provides an UnrealScript module (aeonsdmmod.u) that will generate extra log info, since Unreal does not provide any frag obituaries by default.

You are in a two-dimensional maze in which you are attacked by robots that shoot at you and that you must shoot down. You must pick up a gun somewhere in the maze in order to have a few bullets to shoot. Avoid the spiders and the bats, which can paralyze you long enough for a robot to come and shoot you. The bunker in the center is your only protection.

It's a RPG - sort of. You wander the top world, visit 3D (sort of) dungeons, beat up monsters and perform tasks for the legendary Lord British (AKA Richard Garriott).

Aleph One port:

• Marathon
• Marathon 2: Durandal
• Marathon Infinity

• Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge
• Eternal
• Marathon Evil
• Marathon Red
• Rubicon X
• Tempus Irae

Marathon is a three-part, first-person shooter series that was published by Bungie Software. The complete Marathon trilogy consists of "Marathon", "Marathon 2: Durandal", and "Marathon Infinity". The hallmark of the series is the detailed story-line that unfolds throughout the game.

After Bungie released the source code to the Mac OS version of Marathon, the Aleph One project was created to enhance the software and port it to other operating systems. As AlephOne has matured, so have the user-contributed scenarios, some which far surpass the original Marathon game scenarios themselves.

Aleph One is OpenGL-accelerated, but performs well without OpenGL if you do not have a graphics card with the appropriate functionality (you need to use the -g/--nogl option).

cubes. You can first consider this 3D board as P 2D checkerboards of NxN squares. From 2 up to 10 players can confront each other. Each player begins with a certain number of pieces (or armies) that he has to move and make attack. One of his pieces represents him-self (or the chief, or the king, or anything you want). If this piece die, the player is eliminated. The last player staying alive wins. Messages can be sent to the other players , so that alliances can be implemented. A special timer assures that the game remains dynamic.
