Sid Meier’s Railroad Tycoon

The MicroProse classic is released as freeware. The 15mb Railroad Tycoon download includes the full game as well as the manual and reference cards.

It is a DOS based game, but they included DOSBox in the installer, so you can run it without problems on your modern system. The old school manual based copy protection is left untouched, so you need to answer a question which can be found in the included manual.

Retrospec

Retrospec are a team of coders, graphics artists and computer musicians who have gathered together to bring you the best remakes of old 8 bit games and new original games with a decidedly retro feel that we can.

The 365 Days Project

365 days of cool and strange and often obscure audio selections.

Some words to describe the material featured would be… Celebrity, Children, Demonstration, Indigenous, Industrial, Outsider, Song-Poem, Spoken, Ventriloquism, and on and on and on. The best thing to do is to simply listen.

ScummVM 1.0.0 “Shiny Logo”

It was just 3.5 months ago when we started to prepare for this release, and now finally the day has come.

Ladies and gentlemen, please greet the one and only ScummVM 1.0.0 “Shiny Logo!” The long awaited, the most anticipated, the best… whatever.

We worked very hard on stability in this release, and in addition to all that goodness available since our 1.0.0rc1, we added a new set of ports for Motorola Linux-based phones (those on MotoEZX and MotoMAGX platforms) and fixed just a few hundred bugs.
