Young Sigmund has a few problems. To help him resolve his mental instability you must enter the surreal world of his inner mind and shut down the malfunctioning brain cells. Guide Sigmund through the Ego, Psyche and Id zones - each one 300 times the size of the screen - to locate the eight renegade neurons, entering them one by one to find and trigger their self-destruct system.

This is a port of Digital Psychosis' 1994 game for the Acorn Archimedes.

The game is a platformer with some puzzle elements. You take control of a ball which is genetically modified by the British secret service. Your mission is to rescue captured British soldiers from a prison in Iran.

The game was written in 72 hours for the TINS competition, a competition similar to Speedhack. The name TINS is an recursive acronym for 'TINS is not Speedhack'.

Between is a pixelated art game for two players by Jason Rohrer.

You know exactly what you need to do -- you can see it shimmering right there in front of you. You can see it while dreaming, too, and the difference has become subtle. Dreams wake into dreams, and people blend in and out: real characters and dream characters, all woven into the same script. Finally, they fade completely, and you're alone in the expanse with the construction. With time, you feel something growing, a pinhole that eventually yawns into a deep ravine of longing. The construction languishes, though the expanse seems indifferent.

One night, in a dream, they appear: things that you clearly could not have conjured on your own. Not snowflakes. Not the self-similar forms of leaves. Not distant planets' erosion networks as viewed through telescopes. Not those things that are beautifully external but lack the signatures of consciousness. These things that appear are ugly and non-procedural: indecipherable transmissions bubbling up through static, faded messages floating in bottles, and charcoal handprints on cave walls. Evidence has reached you through time of unknown duration and distance of unknown magnitude, but stale evidence is still evidence.

Somewhere, across whatever barriers stand between, is an "other".

Blob Wars episode II: Blob and Conquer is the sequel to Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid.

With the apparent defeat of Galdov and the reclaiming of the Fire, Time, Space and Reality Crystals the Blobs' battle was only just beginning. Bob had rescued many Blobs and fought many battles, but now he had an ever bigger task ahead of him. The Blobs' homeworld is still littered with the alien forces and Bob once again makes it his task to lead the counter attack. But even without Galdov the aliens are still extremely well organised...

Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid is a 2D platform game. It is the first in the Blob Wars series.

Since their world was invaded by an alien race, the Blobs have faced a lifetime of war. But now they have a chance to win the war once and for all.

In Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid, you take on the role of a fearless Blob agent, Bob. Bob's mission is to infiltrate the various enemy bases around the Blobs' homeworld and rescue as many MIAs as possible. But standing in his way are many vicious aliens, other Blobs who have been assimilated and the evil alien leader, Galdov.

Dave Gnukem is an open source retro-style 2D scrolling platform shooter, inspired by and similar to Duke Nukem 1. It currently runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and various other platforms. It is written in C++ using SDL library and it features an integrated level editor as well. This game is not really a clone or remake, it is probably most akin to a parody.

The goal in this game is to jump to the next floor so you don't fall down. As you go higher in the falling tower the floors will fall faster. Try to survive longer than anyone, or, in single player mode, try to get as high as you can.

At the moment, the game is called sdljump (and it will appear as such in the menu), but the package name has changed following an upstream rename. The new version of the game will be called gnujump as well.

The game is a clone of xjump, and provides all its features, plus some more:

  • Multiplayer mode (up to four players, not networked)
  • Smooth graphics possible (but xjump style as well)
  • Different themes are available
  • Can use OpenGL for rendering
  • Music and sound effects
  • Recording (and replaying) of games

This is a very addictive game where you have to kill thousands of enemies, collect items in order to obtain new powers, and defeat some really great guys at the end of each level. You are free to go everywhere you want from the beginning of the game. You have to choose very carefully the order in which you visit all the rooms in the huge map if you want to keep your character alive. The map is structured in a main map (called the castle), and 10 submaps (called the worlds). Initially you are in the castle, and you have to find the keys that open the doors that go to each of the worlds. To complete the game, you have to defeat the boss at the end of each one of the 10 worlds. You are free to revisit each world as often as you want, in order to see if you have missed something. To defeat all 10 beasts, you control two characters: Popolon and Aphrodite, and each one has special abilities, i.e. Popolon has a greater ability to jump and Aphrodite is able to dive.

Your mission in Pekka Kana 2 is to save Pekka's chicken friends from an evil crow.

The simple goal in each level is to find the exit sign, which is usually not that simple as it sounds because of enemies, traps, and quirky puzzles.

Plee the Bear will be a 2D platform game like those found on consoles in the beginning of the 90's. The basis of the scenario fit in few lines:

4 PM or so, Plee wakes up, tired. He has dreamed again about that awesome period when he went across the entire world together with his belle. He puts his leg in the honey pot... empty! Moreover every single honey pot in the house is empty. "One more trick of that kid", he thinks. "I'm going to give him such a wallop of which he sure will remember".

Following honey drops on the ground, Plee reaches the edge of the forest. Beginning of the game.

The current version is a demo.

Toppler is an almost complete reimplementation of the old game known as Tower Toppler or Nebulus.

The target of the game is to reach the target door of each of the 8 towers in currently 2 missions with this little green animal. This door is usually at the very top of the tower.

But finding the way by using elevators and walking through a maze of doors and platforms is not the only problem you have to solve. There are a bunch of other creatures living on the tower that will hinder you to reach your target by pushing you over the edge of the platforms.

XScavenger is a platform game for the X Window System. From the README:

Scavenger is like Lode Runner. You've got to run around gathering objects while avoiding enemies. You can dig down through some of the blocks to get at buried objects. After you've collected everything, ladders may appear. To finish the level you've got to exit through the top of the screen. If an enemy falls into a dug brick, he is stunned for a while. If the brick fills in with him in it, he is killed, and he will reappear at the top of the screen.

This version has a level editor for designing your own levels, and a graphics editor for drawing your own artwork.
