Caravel Games - DROD What is DROD? Philosophers had tried to tackle this question for decades. Very wise men have pondered the mechanics of the game since the dawn of time. Scientists have attempted to calculate the exact genre of the game. Heck, even I've been a little bit confused at the idea of it myself. Yes, describing DROD is a very complicated task. Some have called it a very complex puzzle game series, and it has all the qualities of one. Others have called it a turn-based RPG, and said that Beethro Budkin, the main character, has an objective to finish his task no matter what. But DROD also tells the exciting story of Beethro Budkin's adventures in a world called the Eighth and his adventures in the mysterious realms that lie beneath its surface. Beethro started out his adventures clearing out DROD: King Dugan's Dungeon, which is where DROD began. Of course, a game with both "deadly" and "death" in it has to have a lot of action in it, and DROD has all that.

We are taking a look at 10 of some of the most popular Linux games… that just so happen to be completely free! If you use Linux as your primary OS, then you already understand why it is so great.

Caravel Games - AE Grab your sword and start chopping your way to the bottom of a vast dungeon! Learning how to play is simple--you move Beethro in one of eight directions or rotate his sword clockwise or counter-clockwise. Examine a detailed overhead view of an underground room and plan Beethro's movements with care, always keeping his sword between him and the critters. You can wait as long as you like before moving. Logical problem-solving is paramount, but the game still has a sense of action as you lay waste to hordes of nasties. Each room of the dungeon is a handcrafted challenge for you to complete, with chambers and corridors purposefully designed to befuddle.

Rubik's Cube Solution By Lars Petrus Introduction This is a tutorial for my method of solving Rubik's Cube. Using this method, I won the 1981 Swedish championships, and finished 4th in the 1982 world championships in Budapest. I'm very happy to provide this site as a free service to the world! Please take a look at my terminology, so you know the difference between a turn and a twist, for example. If you are a total beginner, look at this description of the basic concepts of Rubiks Cube. The animated Java cubes that are used for illustrations and examples are explained here. The Basic Idea Most people solve the cube layer by layer. In the final of the Swedish championship, 8 of 11 competitors used a vanilla layer-by-layer method. The basic problem with the layer method is a big one, and it's obvious once you realize it. Click ► for a sample solution in 41 turns. The Method The Petrus method has 7 steps: I also have some tips on the physical as well as the mental aspects of speed cubing. Fun and Games
Fantastic Contraption: A fun online physics puzzle game Redesigned 8-bit and 16-bit games (Some unbelievable!) I've always been interested in the game hacking community, especially when they redesign a game to the nth degree, create a new genre with an established game, or totally convert a game to something else. I've created this thread to share some media for these projects. Extra Mario Bros This redesign of Super Mario Bros is a marvel. Rather than a level-by-level system, the engine has been redesigned to be more like Metroid, with a series of linked sectors in a large world (which you can backtrack through). Through exploration, Mario earns permanent upgrades such as terrain-destroying fireballs, different types of projectile, different types of boots (so Mario can walk on Lava) keys and double-jumping, allowing him to progress further. The game also offers multiple endings dependent on percentage of items collected. It is worth noting that this is NOT a hack of the Metroid Engine (as would usually be the case with hacks).
