So you want to waste your time huh?!?

Mmmmm... Virtual KWIK-E-MART!

  • RubX Cubed
    This is the greatest free fast-paced Windows 3D multiplayer game ever coded, Bias... Bias, which pits a couple cute little plastic games of old versus one another in a race to find their pieces. Okay, this game was developed by myself & 5 other students as our Senior programming project in the University of Washington's Computer Engineering department. It requires DirectX 6.1 and is really only fun if you have a couple computer's networked together for multiplayer action.
  • Final Fantasy VII & VIII for the PC:
    The original Final Fantasy by Square Soft emerged in America from Japan for the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment system. The US sequals, Final Fantasy II & III came out for the 16-bit Super Nintendo. Most of the games in the series never migrated from Japan and the only other titles that made it here are Final Fantasy VII & VII originally for the Sony Playstation, which were both later adapted for the PC. Final Fantasy VIII is by far the most extensive Role Playing game I've ever seen, with incredible graphics and sound as well as an intricate characters and storylines. Final Fantasy VIIII is already out for the Playstation and X and XI are scheduled to be released soon for the Playstation2, but whether any of those 3 releases will be available natively for the PC is still in question.
  • Virtual Springfield:
    For Windows 95, Virtual Springfield is a fun-filled walk through the cartoon hometown of America's longest running primetime animated series, The Simpsons. For more info on the Simpsons there are tons of great "unofficial" Simpsons sites on the web with borrowed pictures, animations, and music. There have been many Simpsons video games for the Nintendo game systems as well. If you've never seen the Simpsons then you're suffering and don't even know it. My favorite episode is the one where Homer wins a ride on the Duff Beer blimp but has to sell his ticket so that his daughter Lisa can have enter a beauty pagent to regain her self esteem.
  • Tetris:
    This classic fast paced mind boggler is now online in a java applet version I borrowed from a fellow UW student.
  • Nesticle, Nintendo Emulator for the PC:
    Nesticle is an incredibly accurate Windows/DOS PC emulation of the classic 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System. If you have any nintendo ROM files, you can load them into the emulator and play games on you PC just as if you still had the old Nintendo hooked up. Try surfing the web for ROMS or more info on Emulators from this great emulator news site, EMU NEWS. At EMU you can also find PC emualtors for almost every system from Atari to Super Nintendo to Playstation!
  • Snes9X, Super Nintendo Emulator for the PC:
    This is a very well done Super Nintendo emulator that is available for pretty much every platform from DOS to Windows to Linux. It's a project still in the works and being updated daily but it already plays most games.
