Arqanoid
by: Richard Eric M. Lope

You start off at level 1. You have to destroy all the blocks except the metallic yellow ones. Each block has a corresponding score. Every tenth Level is a boss stage. There are no blocks to destroy in these stages. You have to kill the boss to progress to the next stage. But beware of those black holes. They spew unlimited number of insects to you (2 at a time). Once you hit an insect, your ball increases its speed to make the game harder. You kill bosses by hitting them with your ball. There's also bonus stages at levels 5,15,25...45. Spikes are disabled here so you don't die. You finish these levels by destroying the bombs before the time runs out. The bombs you destroy will be multiplied by 2000 and added to your score. If you destroy all of the bombs before the 60 second time limit expires, you will get an additional 20,000 for a special bonus! Beat all the levels and bosses up to level 50 and you'll see the ending! Arkanoid clone - comes with cheats menu, PC Speaker sound effects and an inbuilt level editor.

Only the hardened drivers continue past this point, ascending the dangerous road through the Azure Falls, where the sane finish at Bow Bridge. Only the insane and the fearless head onward to the wild, blizzard-lashed mountains for the final, ultimate prize ...
Ahib el Mushman II - Building Trouble
by: Pc72

After defeating Lakum the first time, Ahib has been a bit careless about his oil fields. What he didn't see, was, that an army of Lakum's people has built a bunch of derricks in order to steal his oil again. Can you help Ahib destroy those derricks in order to save his fields and get his oil back? This time Ahib's armed with bombs, and there's no mercy for whoever might be on that derrick, Ahib will blow up. What you have got to do in this game, is to blow up every platform's connection point in order to destroy a derrick. Those connection points hold the platforms together, and when you destroy them all, the derrick is history. Platform game with 100 levels - 5 unique and 95 randomized levels.

Qpacman
by: Ian Murnane

The game play is quite simple: just walk around to collect the diamonds, but stay away from the bad guys. The diamond counter at the center on the top edge indicates how much gems have to be collected. Once the counter reaches zero, jump into a transporter-diamond and move to the next level. There are 10 levels. At the final level, the diamond counter starts at zero and increases with every gem you are collecting. Pressing space bar will shoot a diamond about four spaces in the direction you are standing - you have to get pretty close to the monsters to kill them!

MUX
by: Pieslice Productions

Very similar to the gameplay in games like DOOM or Quake. The basic idea is to kill everyone who moves, including those who are smart enough to stay still. Probably the best 3D-shooter ever made with QBasic! To complete a level, find a red button (mounted on the dark olive techy looking wall, with EXIT reading atop) and press space. You will see Quake-styled exit scene and after you press space once again, you will be directed to the next level. Some levels have buttons in them. An unactivated button can be noticed by glowing red light (with chromed bevelling, shaped as hexagon or triangle) on the wall. If you walk near the button and press space the button will be activated and eventually become green. One wall tile is moved away from your route revealing new passages. Some buttons are necessary to complete levels, some reveal secret areas. All buttons can be found on orange factory walls, gray metal walls or white tech walls. Buttons are often in well-lit areas, sometimes heavily guarded. Some levels have elevators which transport you from your floor to another. They can be found easily because of their distinct looking white pair of doors and metallic interior with elevator handrails and KONE register plates. Elevators can be activated very similar way to buttons. Once you have pressed the button, the doors will close and you will be in the elevator for about seventeen seconds. (If you have music toggled, the elevator travel music will play...) Some elevators are necessary to use, but most transport you to the area that contains vast amount of bonus items. Be aware that the facility has vast amount of barrels and containers that contain irradiated and volatile materials such as hydrogen fuel used to run facility's power cells. If any of these containers get hit, there's a risk that they may combust. You can use them against your enemies, or you might be blown up yourself.
Super Sumo Wrestling
by: Typosoft
In 'Super Sumo Wrestling', there are more than just fat guys competing to become the coveted "Yokozuna" (or the best sumo wrestler). You can also kick, bite, headbutt, or whatever else you want. Comes with One and Two Player Mode plus special Boss Mode. Has many options (sound on/off, time mode, and cheats, etc.). When the game opens up, you are shown the main menu. Here you choose the type of game you wish to play. All you have to do is hit the up/down arrows and enter to select a choice. Here is a list of the options in the main menu:
Tournament
Here you are put to the ultimate test. You must battle your way through fifteen harsh rounds of intense action. If you are ranked #1 you fight against the yokozuna of the tournament you are in. After winning a tournament and beating the yokozuna, you will be allowed to proceed to the next tournament. After completing all three of the tournaments for one character, you will unleash a new character.
When you begin flashing white, this means you have a special move. You just hit the numbers 1 through 6 to choose which special move you will use. When the other sumo becomes green and doesn't move, it means he is in shock. This makes he ran out of stamina and is recharging (so hit him with all you got).
Exhibition
Here you fight one round against a random computer character. Learn the skills and techniques you need to become the master of this game.
VS
This puts you and a friend against each other in a single match to compete for bragging rights.
Boss Mode
This mode is only available if you have unleashed everyone. Play through it and see what you get...
Wetspot II
by: Angelo Mottola

You control a small crab and your target is to kill every monster on the current level. Since you have no weapons to accomplish your job you must use the same bricks that forms the walls of the level you are into. How? Simple. Just go towards a brick and push the fire button; the brick in front of you will begin moving in that direction, and will stop its run only when it hits another brick. Needless to say, if one of this bricks runs over an enemy, that enemy dies, and the same happens for the players. If you push a brick while another brick is on the other side (i.e. the brick you're pushing can't move), the first will be destroyed, maybe releasing a hidden bonus. Not all bricks can be moved or destroyed; usually moveable blocks (which can be destroyed) can be easily recognized from the fixed blocks (which cannot be destroyed), but sometimes you'll have to find it by yourself. There are a lot of hidden bonuses, from the simple score bonus to the extra life, as well as special objects with particular effects. The letters for example: there are 5 letters that form the word 'BONUS', and once you've got them all, you gain a life. Try them out!
Once an enemy dies, it releases an extra bonus; when all the enemies are gone, you pass the level. WetSpot worlds are made of areas (the standard world contains 10 areas for example), and each of them contains 5 levels with the same graphics and the same music. When you complete an area, a password is given, allowing you to continue the game from the first level of the new area, without having to complete the previous levels. Passwords can be inserted with the INSERT PASSWORD option of the game main menu.
The best feature of WetSpot 2 (W2 for short) remains the two players mode. Player one controls the red crab, and player two the blue crab; they act simultaneously on the same level, and believe me, this is really fun. If you know WetSpot, you should know that when one of the two players died, the level had to start again from the beginning, and when a player lost his last life, the game was stopped and the "game over" message came out. How many times have you hated this system, when your friend died and you had to end the game with him? Well, forget it! WetSpot 2 finally has a decent two players mode! When a player dies, the other can continue playing, and he (if other lives are available) appears again when the other ends the level or dies.
WetSpot features colorful 320x200 256 color graphics, one or two players, seven enemies with different AI, tons of bonuses, MIDI music, digital sound effects and 50 levels. This package contains a level editor.

Nice TRON clone with one and two player mode. The objective is to outlast your opponent by outmaneuvering him/her and being the last to hit an obstacle. Obstacles include the boundaries of the battlegrounds and your opponents track.
The Hunt
by: Terry Cavanagh

Mini action game: you take control of Malcolm Rhodes, an Ex-Army Driver who has been falsly convicted of murder. Malcolm has managed to steal the judge's car, and the game begins in a high speed pursuit as he makes a desperate attempt to evade capture. On his journey, Malcom will be chased by police cars, intercepted at roadblocks, struggle to avoid hitting regular drivers and pherhaps even come face to face with an army tank...
There are three difficulty modes which can be selected at the title screen. Normal is the difficulty of the beta version. Easy has less traffic, and is one frame slower than normal, whereas Pro is the same as normal only one frame quicker. I recommend that you try to play the game on Normal - This type of action game can't be finished on your first go, and you're naturally going to crash a few times. Don't be discuraged - just try again and remember your mistakes.
