Vault Of Souls author?At first glance this may look like your typical 'Zelda game' made using ZQuest. But, while being Zelda-like, and using Zelda-esk graphics, it is in fact a game with story, items, and RPG elements having little in common with the Zelda series. This is not completing 9 dungeons to find the Triforce and rescue Zelda. The protagonist doesn't believe in fairy tales. Currency and collected items are spent on ability upgrades (there will be grinding). There are 5 sub-screens and an entirely different save system (somewhat reminiscent of Ocarina of Time). And the enemies only look like the ones in Zelda games, the shoot bombs, arrow arrays, flame thrower jets, fly and jump around to places the player cannot go (and they're HARD). Enemies don't just walk around and shoot in the expected semi-random patternistic way, they know where the player is; not just for aiming, but for avoiding as well. While many Zelda games feature a great deal of 90 degree squareness, this game has very little. The world and level design features a great deal of organic and asymmetrical design. The player is not limited to shooting projectiles in 4 directions. Some can be fired in _any_ direction and some have a shaped area of effect, such as the flame thrower. But the biggest surprise is when the player defeats the final boss[spoiler=show surprise;close]the game suddenly changes modes and becomes a manic arena shooter. Ya, you beat the game for [b]another game[/b].[/spoiler] labelimagesubject

Eschalon: Book I My Game Company;Basilisk Games (Basilisk Games)2007This is a proprietary game.

The creator advertises that gameplay is, "the result of absolutely every action is rolled, calculated or statistically determined ", and it has a "combination of randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden goodies". The difficulty of the game is determined by the development of a character's skills and the adeptness of the player's using them. The story is not linear.

Originally only available as a download. Since 2008-01-14, all Eschalon CD packages have the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X versions. Released as Free-to-Play on its 10th year anniversary.

Requires a 1.8 GHz CPU, 256 MB RAM, and a 3D card.
(Note, the game runs fine on a 1.0GHz CPU. I suspect this is the Windows requirements)

Half-Life 2: Episode One  Valve2013Half-Life 2: Lost Coast is a free add-on level first offered to Linux users on 2013-06-28. It's mainly for valve to show off technical aspects of their Source Engine. It mainly features high-dynamic-range rendering (better contrast), that helps keep details from being obscured by otherwise limited contrast range. Because it was originally intended to be included in Half-Life 2, it contains story details that are not otherwise available. labelminimizeminimize
