I’ve left it little late for the games I promised I’d be posting today. So will post them tomorrow or Thursday. (I’m keen to start playing Dead Space which I bought earlier today - well yesterday now, but haven’t had any time to play it yet, so in a rush I decided to plunder Caimans great stock of games. I have tested each one quickly, but not properly played any of the games, simply because of Dead Space awaiting
Okay on with the games……. today is going to be a bit of a weird day because I’m actually going to include an alpha demo for the first time ever on this project. I know it’s not a full version game, but I was so impressed with it’s originality (though some may argue it has elements of PilotWings and Mirror's Edge) and simplicity of the game I thought it worth adding to the pot. The game is called:
AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity (119Mb)
This is the alpha demo for AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, and aerial stunt game. The alpha shoves you off of floating skyscrapers in eight levels set over an alternate Boston, MA, and ends with an upsetting "thank you for playing" speech by the studio.
"In AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!, you dive off of a building and rely on quick reflexes to negotiate the intricate tangle of girders that make up the City. You perform aerial stunts at terminal velocity before parachuting into the arms of your cheering fans. While other skydivers have it easy, you have to earn the adoration of the crowds by gliding within an eyelash of that glass super-skyscraper at 91 miles per hour."
Check out two alpha videos showing gameplay of the skydiving-stunt game where you can earn bonus points by blowing kisses to people -- or by giving them the finger -- as you barrel down through Mirror's Edge DLC-like levels trying to prevent your own "street pizza" status.

Canopia (2.88MB)
Quite an unusual flying shooter. Almost psychedelic…….
Canopia is a rich asteroid with full-grown life everywhere. Human being has grown in peace with nature and magic .
But strange news come from the south, some changes start to appear in the ecosystem. As a botanist, you'll try to get there to understand the problem. As you travel, the landscape is getting full of explosive plants, and agressive animals. On your journey, you start to discover the existence of an ancient technology-orientated society. You will find multiple artefacts and temples.
Soon you will need to find other sidekicks to help you advance in the game because you are not strong enough to fight , and not able to understand those strange machinery from ancient times... but don't worry - canopia's taverns are full of other adventurers offering their help.
Controls: Arrows + Space

Here’s another one for midori :) This one WILL get to you. The graphics are slightly better than my last offering for the day Doom 6666. Typical low bit rate, but the overall effect is quite pleasing. I though the spiders were well done and the fact that you need more than a couple of shots to kill each one can make this game a challenge. If you have a real phobia for spiders, don’t download this one. ;)
Eight legged Freak: (6.16Mb)
Produced for Warner Bros.Pictures. Let the Squashing Begin promotes the Summer 2002 feature film Eight Legged Freaks by bringing the heart pounding terror of giant spiders to a 3D first person shooter. An array of weapons and challenges draw the player into the game.

Doom 6666 (2.07Mb)
This is a pretty basic remake of Doom, but for Doom fanatics you may find it a worthwhile experience. The menu is okay, but the graphics are as old as I remember Doom was the last time I played it. However, the author has tried to inject some originality into the game. If you like retro you’ll love it. I found the mouse sensitivity was way to high, so you may need to adjust it. (didn’t check to see if you could though)
Apparently the electrified water is very hard to get past, lol.
controls:
mouse = aim
arrows = move
A = jump
Z = duck
space = open door, etc
0...9 = select weapon
left Ctrl or left mouse = fire
left Alt = weapon special function
Enter = reload weapon
Esc = back to menu

Canopia and Doom 6666 are manual installs, which means you’ll have to place them where you usually install your games by either unzipping the files to the target position, or unzipping to the desktop and copying the games manually, then creating shortcuts. Eight legged Freaks and the demo come with full installers and create shortcuts for you.
