Zelda Classic	Armageddon Games	2007	Remember how hard the original was without maps and guids? The 4th quest (usually launched after the 2nd), is much harder than the 1st and 2nd combined. Then the 3rd quest (usually played last), is even harder. And there's a 5th quest.***An unofficial [i]near[/i] pixel perfect recreation of the original NES classic plus additional quests. Also includes an editor; using the Zelda Classic Engine to make completely new games in the style of the original game, Link to the Past, and Link's Awakening. Engine and game creation tools of the editor are extensive enough to create platformer games and other games that don't resemble any Zelda games at all. Upon finishing the 2nd quest with 16 hearts, players will begin the '4th' quest (because its easier than the 3rd). To play the 3rd quest after the 2nd, complete it with fewer than 16 hearts. Beat the 3rd quest [b]without dying[/b] to play the 5th quest.

Meritous	Asceai	2007	It's psionic Robotron with maps, multiple rooms, teleportation, and upgrades. [Zerothis]***" Far below the surface of the planet is a secret. A place of limitless power. Those that seek to control such a utopia will soon bring an end to themselves. " MERITOUS is a top-view dungeon crawl action/adventure game. As MERIT, a PSI user, your task is to investigate the Orcus Dome, an ancient underground shrine. In your way are the shadowy creatures that wander the shrine. Using your PSI circuit, you must cut through any that come between you and your goal. PSI is a powerful, imprecise force. Often viewed as a form of modern magic, PSI can be weilded to a limited extent by beings (see PSI users) that have an unusual level of mental awareness. PSI exists as a flow that can be fashioned into a single-use tool for the weilder to use. As PSI is very difficult to shape precisely, PSI users often settle for crude, uneconomical solutions to problems. For example, using PSI as an attacking weapon by draining off a large amount of it from the surrounding area and unleashing it in one go. Or using PSI as a protective shield by concentrating a large amount of it in one area. Where PSI actually comes from is unknown, however there seems to be only a limited amount in the atmosphere at any one time. While PSI is generally used by gathering it from the area around the PSI user, some advanced PSI users have worked out ways of gathering and storing large quantities of it. Some areas are naturally much richer in PSI than others. PSI seems to be found in greater quantities when one is underground, for example. PSI users are beings that have the mental capacity to consciously use PSI. Any species is capable of producing PSI users, though by far human PSI users are the most common. PSI users vary wildly in ability, with the rarest and most powerful able to accomplish great feats. It is also not uncommon for PSI users to become more or less powerful over time. Theories exist that continual exposure to and use of PSI increases one's competence, while disuse can cause it to stagnate. The Orcus Dome is a structure located deep within the planet's crust. The internal structure seems to be both crafted and organically grown. It is made up of a number of tightly-woven rooms. The structure is unusual in that it seems to have been made for the precise purpose of gathering and concentrating PSI. The walls that divide the rooms carry PSI gathered from the planet and channel it into a single, very strong flow of PSI. The discovery of the Dome has been a point of contention among PSI users, most of whom want to use the large reserves of the Dome to enhance their own PSI usage. Eventually, the majority of PSI users agreed to ration out use of the Dome to both ensure the existing reserves would last as long as possible and to make sure that each PSI user would receive a fair allocation. For several years, there was no problem with the ongoing use of the Orcus Dome to provide PSI. However, for some reason, the PSI extracted from the Dome began to behave strangely. It worked unpredictably, and made controlling the PSI very difficult. After one PSI user was killed as a result of this, a decision was made to abandon using the Orcus Dome for PSI. Not happy with this decision, one PSI user, MERIT, decided to use his own reserves of PSI to ethereally warp into the Dome itself to find out what the problem was and restore the Dome to its original state.

1st Quest Revamp	author	2002	Collect useful items guarded by secret puzzles and enemies to gain access to 8 dungeons with more useful items guarded by bosses to gain access to the last dungeon to defeat Ganon and rescue Princess Zelda. This is a remake of the original Legend of Zelda. The graphic overhaul is immediately apparent but there are a few other subtle changes. Most changes make the game not necessarily easier, just a bit less frustrating. Save or Continue, and Link's hearts remain unchanged or filled to three if they were below that. Boss fireballs not deflectable and Stone Statue fireballs deflectable looked identical in the original, now players can see the difference. Dungeon rooms are rarely so square as they were. Blocks are often replaced by walls where appropriate. And rooms that used to be a pattern of blocks are not a more organically shaped area with various obstacles to maneuver around. The new room shapes and smoothed out terrain means there are less places that look like bombable walls, so bombable walls are easier to find. Most notable it the changes in dungeon layout, where are not so much changing the rooms as it is replacing the room-to-room tunnels with a simple stairway (instant arrival at the other end). New pathways have been added. And dead ends and pointless treks into obscure corners of the dungeons are virtually eliminated by adding something useful or even necessary to them. A good example of this is in the first dungeon. In the original, Link can go left and get a key by defeating enemies. Or, Link can go right and get a key by defeating enemies. Or, both, if the player choses not to or does not knows where bomb to avoid using keys. In this remake, Link can only go left. When enemies are defeated, the staircase must be opened and this leads to the right room where the enemies must be defeated to open the exit back to the entry room. Another trick is make dead-end paths useful by having pots in the rooms. This way, players can now grind for hearts and money on a path that was just a waste of time in the original. Also there's more completely optional secrets to discover. Certain room based puzzles in the dungeons have completely new solutions. Player will find themselves using items in ways they are used in other Zelda games and in unique ways. These are usually easy and nearly intuitive. Along the lines of encountering something new in a room in a dungeon on the way to the boss; using the item collected in the same dungeon in a on the new thing to solve the puzzle. These are not just an added step, these teach the player. These new tricks learned in the dungeon can be used elsewhere to find a whole new set of secrets that have been added to the game. Also, use old tricks in new places to find the some of new secrets. This aptly named 1st quest is but only the 1st, no 2nd quest follows on defeating Ganon (to the best of my knowledge).

Aklabeth	author	2004	The evil wizard has polluted the land of Aklabeth with monsters. Although the lord of Aklabeth repelled the wizard, his evil creatures remain. Select the role of Fighter or Mage. Do battle with skeletons, thieves, rats, orcs, vipers, carrions, gremlins, mimics, deamon, and balrogs using rapier, axe, shield, bow and arrow.

Above ground the player has an overhead view of icons. But in the dungeons, you explore and fight in first person view. Build instructions: extract the tar ball to a directory navigate to that directory in a terminal then type [code]./configure make sudo make install[/code] now typing [code]aklabeth[/code] in a terminal will run the game [Zerothis]***Aklabeth ======== Aklabeth is effectively Ultima 0. It was written for the Apple II in Basic. This game is a port, written in a mixture of C and C++. I wrote this a year or two back, can't remember why, in C. I glued it to my SDL wrapper library and released it. It's a RPG - sort of. You wander the top world, visit 3D (sort of) dungeons, beat up monsters and perform tasks for the legendary Lord British (AKA Richard Garriott). It requires the SDL Library. Keys N S E W (and arrow keys) move player both in upper world, and in the dungeons. A attack I inventory Q quit X enter town/shop/dungeon/climb up and down. Have fun, Paul Robson [Zerothis]

Balazar III 3D	author	2008	Balazar III is a dungeon adventure game with multiplayer support. As you explore the dungeon, you'll gain magical objects, experience and powers, but also... curses ! Balazar III is based on the (French) comics "Le guide Balazar du mauvais sorcier" (Balazar's guide to bad sorcerers). The game comes in two versions (which are network-compatible): - 3D version destined to computer gamers. The 3D version is graphically more beautiful, as it takes avantages of the nice cellshading algorithms of the Soya 3D engine. - 2D version, currently supporting 640x480 and 800x480 resolutions. It has been designed mainly for hand-held devices (Sharp Zaurus, Nokia N810, Openmoko Freerunner, Asus EEE PC, and the like), although it can be used on computer too. This version has been highly optimized so as it can be run in 640x480 on a Zaurus C1000 (416 MHz ARM processor without graphics accelerators). This package is a metapackage depending on the 3D version.
