Here are a few useful links to other Freeware

 | My programming friend Eric Mortimer is a newcomer to
Delphi programming and has several interesting freeware games on his website
written using GameMaker and Delphi at: http://web.aanet.com.au/barberic/games.html

 | Another remake of interest is PeeJay's Maziacs a
great maze-based game where your character has to traverse a maze to recover
the treasure which is guarded by many monsters called Maziacs. They try to
stop you. Grab a sword to fight and kill the monsters but don't forget to
top up your energy level with a bowl of rice from time to time. You get to
play either Maziacs with the original graphics or the updated version with
excellent newly-designed graphics which brings the game into the present-day
environment. |
This game is an adaptation of Don Priestleys 1984 classic for the Spectrum,
Maziacs
and is available from www.peejays-remakes.co.uk
You'll find lots of other great free games on this
site and you'll also be able to test games that are still in the making! All
PeeJay's games are developed using Blitz BASIC and he now has a Blitz BASIC
tutorial to download aimed at novices who would like to give game
programming a try.
 | Another
game which I like is Andreas Spreen's Green Snake
game. Guide a snake through a scrolling maze collecting all the gold to
proceed to the next level. As you collect the gold, the snake gets longer
which makes it harder and harder to stop eating yourself. Your snake dies if
you bite yourself. There are various extras you can collect which give you
more time, half the length of your snake, slow your snake down, etc. Each
level is a sort of puzzle - and there are several sets of levels for you to
test your skill. Green Snake is available for download
from: http://www.clevedon.de/ |

 | Raytoons offers plenty of free games and cartoons
created by Ray Mullikin. The games currently on Raytoons include
a 3D pacman-like game, a couple of arcade games, a shootem-up game, a math
game, and an RPG game for the TI-83 graphing calculator. The comics
range from humor to adventure cartoons. You can find Raytoons at http://www.raytoons.funurl.com

site at http://www.caiman.us with almost
1000 (April 2004) games to download. There are no demos, no shareware, no
