Spuds

Spuds is an offbeat game that is part strategy and part puzzle-solving. You build a stable of SPUDs (Synthetic Pattern-matching Universal Defenders) that fight for you, die for you, race for you, and solve puzzles for you in an effort to overcome an alien invasion. You define your SPUDs’ behaviors using built-in easy-to-use visual tools, and then lead them through a single-player campaign or command them in a variety of online multiplayer scenarios.

Arctic Rush

The Arctic is one of the most inaccessible and mysterious places on Earth. And where there are mysteries, the tireless Dr. Scott appears. During the night Dr. Scott’s Arctic expedition is thrown into extreme danger. The ice shelf, where Dr. Scott lay sleeping in his tent, breaks away from the continent and drifts out into the high seas. Fortunately, Dr. Scott remembers to phone 911 and soon valiant rescuers, on helicopters and planes, begin to drop the needed supplies. Unfortunately, Dr. Scott’s troubles are not over. The rescuers have tried too hard and have almost overwhelmed the great scientist/researcher with emergency supplies and now he must escape from the dropping boxes!

In Arctic Rush you play as Dr. Scott, and your task is to survive the relentless cascade of boxes and score points by exploding them. You are assisted by your faithful dog, Sheriff, who will drive off the marauding polar bears who are trying to take the most important supplies. 

Spider Wizard

Spider Wizard is an exciting solitaire game based on the classic game Spider, a challenging 2-deck game that requires skill and a little bit of luck. If you have played the Spider game that comes with Windows ME/XP, then you know how fun and challenging it can be. But wouldn’t it be nice to have a little more? Spider Wizard contains not only Spider, but 15 other similar games. Variations include Spider One Suit and Spider Two Suits, which have card moving rules that make the game easier to win. In addition, it contains the classic Spider variants Miss Milligan, Scorpion, and Spiderette, as well as popular games such as Rouge et Noir and Simple Simon.
