Cool Software


Games:


Command & Conquer - This is a great modern day war simulator. The way it simulates war makes you feel like the general of your army. The computer is not dumb either, they can crush you easily if you don't watch out. This game is extremely addictive. It's one of my favorite games of all time. (Shareware Version) 486/66 (9.4M)

Command & Conquer Optional Second Part - An optional second part to the shareware version that adds music and video to the game. (18M)

Dogz - Dogz is your computer pet. It is a pet dog that you get to adopt. You can do almost anything that you can with a dog in real life. The dog will act like a real dog. It will change moods depending on your actions. It can even get tired and fall asleep if you leave it alone. You can feed it, play ball with it, even teach it to do tricks! The realism of this program is incredible.
(Shareware Version) 486/25 | 68040 or PowerPC (2.4M)

Catz - Same as Dogz, except cats. Maybe even better than dogs, really depends if you like cats or dogs more. Very cool program. (Shareware Version) 486/25 | 68040 or PowerPC (2.5M)
Duke Nukem 3-D - Could be the best 3-D game ever made. Many argue that it is better than Quake. Definetly the funniest and most detailed game I have ever played. Little could be done to make it better than it is. I can't say enough good things about this game. If you don't have it, DOWNLOAD IT NOW, buy the full version tomorrow!!! Beleive me, you won't be dissapointed. (Shareware version 1.3d) 486DX/33 8 Megs RAM (5.8M)

Virtual Pool - This is a surprisingly awesome game. The virtual reality is great, which makes this game so cool. You'd think that you were really in that bar playing pool. You can see from all different angles. And playing a modem game with your friend is quite some fun too. (Shareware) 386/40 (324K)
