From the main program's page you can select among 7 games listed in the game menu. The titles sound exciting: Sonic 3D Snowboarding, Sonic Character Designer, Sonic Lost in Mario World, Sonic Pacman, Sonic Tetris, Sonica and Ultimate Sonic.

Sonic Games lacks basic functions, like pause, but at least the game's frame is resizable. The idea of a collection of Sonic Games is really nice, but it's a pity that the playability is as good in the original MegaDrive version and that the graphics are so scarce.
They would probably be still enjoyable on mobile devices, but on Windows, the Sonic Games experience ends up being pretty boring.

If you are a fan of Sonic, you might want to have this set of Sonic Games for Windows, but mainly for collection purposes rather than to play with them as both graphics and playability are pretty poor.

This game is awesome, if not a little difficult to figure out. There's a chance you've played similar games before, and that will give you a definite advantage when playing The Powder Toy. If you're still no wiser, it's basically a blank canvas where you have access to different scientific elements and substances. You can then combine them whatever way you like, and watch the results!

If you know the type of game, then you're definitely going to think of explosions. It's true - The Powder Toy lets you blow stuff up, and it's awesome! It also lets you do other cool things, like create growing, organic structures or building electronic circuits. The Powder Toy is really only limited by your own imagination.

One area where you might have a problem is finding The Powder Toy instructions. The website is good and full of user-generated content, and once you've grasped the ropes, it will be really useful. It still doesn't make up for the lack of a getting started guide though, so you're just going to have to mess around or do research of your own at the start.

Hard to get started in, but awesome to play, The Powder Toy is a cool nerd-tastic game!

The best thing about this new version is that it fully respects the design, graphics, sound effects and gameplay of the original title. Bombermaaan sees you as a small character trapped inside a labyrinth, setting off bombs to open up his way out and kill his opponents. As you progress through the level, you’ll find all sorts of power-ups to help you in your mission: extra bombs, more power, higher speed, remote control for bombs, and so on.

Bombermaaan can be played by up to 5 people at the same time, using either keyboard or joysticks. The keys can be defined in the game’s options menu. There are only 8 levels in Bombermaaan, but you can download a pack with 150 extra levels from the developer’s website.

If you’re used to modern games, you’ll obviously find Bombermaaan quite limited. But for all of us who were kids in the 80s and played video games back then, it’s a sweet, fun way to remember those good old times.

Bombermaaan brings the classic Bomberman game back to life with a very faithful version that can be upgraded to 150 levels.

Chip tune mashups

With nine chip tune mashups, Pixel Force: DJ Hero has enough music to keep you occupied for a while. The 8-bit sounds are surprisingly good, and the mechanics of the game, where you have to tap in time with the approaching symbols works really well. It's not quite as cool as using the official peripheral, but your keyboard will still do the job!

Retro style

Graphically, Pixel Force: DJ Hero is what you would expect: colorful and blocky. The atmosphere is totally retro, and impressive that the game is actually more fun than many of the original Nintendo titles of the late 80s!

Fun but lightweight

As a high score chasing game, Pixel Force: DJ Hero is pretty compelling, although the bleepy chip tunes mean you won't be likely to invite friends round and hook your PC up to some big speakers!

Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe is a brutal game where anything goes, and points are won from knockouts, not just goals. Each team wears a coat of armor and play within a metallic arena where players can pass, shoot and attack, while off the ball the same controls allow tackles and catches.

Points are won by scoring goals, knocking out opponents, and also by hitting bumpers, stars and ramps on the pitch. This gives the game and element of pinball to it, and means that focusing on goal scoring is never enough. This PC version is exactly the same as the original and features the classic sounds and ambiance ("Ice Cream! Ice Cream!") from the original.

Unlike the Amiga version however, Speedball 2 Evolution offers more modes, such Tournament, League and Manager Mode. The controls are a bit awkward - sometimes you don't know which player you are controlling but you can play multiplayer against friends which is great

Speedball 2 Brutal Deluxe is a great version of the classic Amiga game. Whether you were a big fan or not, its still an additive and unique sports game.

Your goals in Super Crate Box are to not get killed, and to collect as many weapon crates as you can before that inevitably happens. The more crates you collect the more weapons, levels and playable characters you will unlock. Weapons can't be chosen - you get whatever the crate gives you. Super Crate Box gets really frantic, and it's tough to survive when the game serves you one of the weaker weapons.

You die the instant you touch an enemy, so games can be quite short. However, it's really moreish. The weapons you unlock, for instance, are brilliant. Super Crate Box's mini-gun is one of the most over-the-top guns you'll see in a video game, and is great (noisy) fun.

Super Crate Box achieves its aim of making a compelling game that's fast paced, exciting and cool. The great chip-tune soundtrack is the icing on this retro cake.

Which is why it's hard to justify why it needs a PC version (surely a simple pen and paper will do) but nevertheless, if you're a bit bored, Ultra TicTacToe will wile away a few minutes or hours. However, don't download it hoping to play against a friend - it's you versus the PC only.

Ultra TicTacToe features two difficulty levels - Easy and Hard and herein lies one of it's major faults. Easy level is ridiculously easy - you'd have to be pretty bad not to beat the PC at this level. However, Difficult level in Ultra TicTacToe is extremely difficult and no matter how many times you try, the PC always seems to have the upper hand or it ends in a tie. Since there aren't many variations possible in the game of TicTacToe, Ultra TicTacToe can inevitably become exceedingly boring but it's not designed to be played over a prolonged period of time to be fair.

If you love TicTacToe, have no one to play against and want to waste a few minutes, then Ultra TicTacToe is a good time filler - just don't try it on the hard level.
