If nothing else, anyone that hasn't played Beneath a Steel Sky before has no excuse now.

Another World, Castles II, Carmageddon, Transport Tycoon, quite a lot of demo's (Hexagon, Commander Keen, Raptor, OMF2097) and whatever games my cousins put on our PC, heh. Historik, Dune II, Wacky Wheels, Wolfenstein, Doom, Supaplex, The Lost Vikings, etc...

Too much to name really.

Win 7 64 bit... not sure why it won't load. Tried again with the same result.

Same OS, but seems to work fine here...sorry to hear that though man

Anyways the app is pretty neat! Works exactly how you would think it would, find a game and click install then play. Download speeds are a bit slow but considering the size of most of the games it's a not a big issue. Some interface improvements could be made too...for instance the game category list leaves a lot to be desired.

Anyways here's what I got installed so far:

One Must Fall 2097 - awesome DOS fighter

Eye of the Beholder - classic dungeon crawl

Dune - very unique and interesting game...also one of the first games I played on cd rom. Nice cross between adventure and strategy

Spelunky - fantastic freeware randomized adventure game

Transport Tycoon - one of the best transportation games ever made imo

Thesus - isometric shooter made by the folks who did the alien shooter and zombie shooter series...pretty good so far
