Hate 'em or love
'em, the serfs at Microsoft have released yet another version of DirectX.
This version sports some new "features," including the ability to scan
the contents of your hard drive and upload it to Microsoft headquarters
(just kidding). A must-have. (486, Windows 95; dx5eng.exe, 3.5MB)

I
Got Game!
Raised on Dr. J vs. Larry
Bird, he was a tough kid who knew his way around concrete playgrounds and
his Apple II keyboard. On those mean streets there was no mercy, just a
dream and a chance to make it to the big time. Sure, you may have a 6-inch
vertical jump like George Jones, Gamecenter's editor and former Dartmouth
varsity player, but play-off fever is here, and Patrick Ewing is back in
action for the Knicks. Have a seat, sixth man, and take a breather with
some of the finest slam-dunk action this side of the Internet! |
Slam
'N' Jam (Crystal
Dynamics)
Magic has his own TV talk
show coming out soon (yikes!), although he may never match Sinbad. Watch
Kareem as he throws his signature skyhook; see Magic use his mighty frame
in a slashing cut to the net! Classic all-star action in this great game.
