Story:Design and build an interstellar mining fleet to strip space of its invaluable minerals, and sell them for a tidy profit. But beware. Your greed will attract the alien. Use warships and defense platforms to protect your fleet at all costs - in real space, in real time. Starminer is a space industry and logistics simulation that strives to be at the forefront of space strategy gaming, blending cutting-edge rendering technologies with deep tactical and creative gameplay. It's set against backdrops of fully-realized 3D environments, where the beauty of space becomes an integral part of player immersion, setting Starminer apart as a visually stunning and technologically advanced space base-building game. Starminer is built with realism and immersion as core design pillars through the incorporation of Newtonian physics for propulsion and movement. This not only adds a layer of authenticity and complexity to the gameplay but also introduces a rewarding learning curve for players seeking a genuinely advanced spacefaring experience. In Starminer, the universe is more than just a pretty backdrop for exploration and conquest—it's a playground for players to explore their creativity and long-term ambitions for their fleets. Central to the game's creative ethos is the ability to design a variety of space stations that bring them toward their goals; whether it's to mine resources, be a defensive power, colonization, energy production, or something else entirely. The dynamic and customizable nature of these different types of stations means that the player doesn’t only decide what their cosmic empire will be; it will become a unique reflection of their strategic prowess and imaginative flair.Show more

Rico
RicoRico is an arcade-style, first-person shooter inspired by modern action cinema. In the game you and a friend play as a pair of loose-cannon police partners, given twenty-four hours to crack a case as part of an elite organised crime taskforce. Planning is tactical rather than strategic, players must react in the moment to shootouts as they unfurl, with additional extra time to assess the situation if they are able to surprise their adversaries. Ammo and enemies are plentiful, and combat is punchy and impactful, supported by an extensive destruction system that ensures every shot looks and feels great.

Habitat
HabitatHabitat is a pioneering massive multiplayer online game (MMO) developed by Lucasfilm Games that laid the foundation for modern MMORPGs. Released as a beta test on Quantum Link's online service, it allowed up to 500 players to simultaneously explore a vast, open-ended virtual world. Despite lacking traditional RPG elements like leveling or classes, Habitat broke new ground by offering a persistent, shared environment where players could interact through customizable avatars in a 2D, third-person perspective. The game's emphasis on social interaction and player-driven content was revolutionary for its time. Players could engage in a wide range of activities, from simple communication and object manipulation to complex social endeavors like marriage, commerce, and even founding religions or guilds. The game world, comprised of thousands of diverse regions, encouraged exploration and discovery. Habitat's innovative features, including an in-game economy, player-run businesses, and global quests organized by the developers themselves, showcased the potential of virtual worlds as social platforms. This libertarian approach to gameplay, where players were limited only by the game's code, set a precedent for user-generated content and emergent gameplay in online worlds, influencing the development of future MMORPGs and virtual communities.

Super Meat Boy 3D
Super Meat Boy 3DSuper Meat Boy 3D is a tough as nails platformer where you play as an animated cube of meat who's trying to save his girlfriend (who happens to be made of bandages) from an evil fetus in a jar wearing a tux – IN 3D! Our meaty hero will leap from walls, over seas of buzz saws, through crumbling caves and pools of old trash sacrificing his own well-being to save his damsel in distress – IN 3D. Super Meat Boy 3D brings the old school difficulty of classic retro titles we all know and love and streamlines them down to the essential no bull straight forward twitch reflex platforming. Ramping up in difficulty from hard to soul crushing Meat Boy will brave lush (but also on fire) forests, vast dumps filled with the waste of mankind, and high-tech forges producing the very traps that will inevitably kill Meat Boy over and over and over - IN 3D! And if a bunch of levels weren't enough, we also have epic boss fights and tons of unlockable secrets – IN 3D!
