Gorillas32 - Big videogame companies like to show off zillion-polygon videos of large-chested women killing people to demo their products. V1ctor rereleased a game about gorillas from 1989. And we love it. Also available from the "MS QB" repotoire of video games ported to FB is QBlocks, a tetris clone and Nibbles, a game so definitive we call 'em "Nibbles Clones", for Windows and dos.
Sokobon - Block pushing into red diamonds at its finest. I could'nt beat it when it was made before I was born, and I still can't.
Wetspot 1 - From the same mind that made it, this little game, complete with ancient multiplayer, is responsible for at least one 'C' in my undistinguished academic career. I certainly hope it inspires others to shameless procrastinate.
Dark Woods 2 - For some reason, people keep downloading. It is, by and far, the most successful QB game next to Nibbles and it's made the leap to Windows and Linux via the efforts of one Zap E. Bloobenschnozzer.
...Are we catching up? Yes. These demos have been coming out since November, but you will see much, much more in the time to come!
Links in the morning, Links in the evening...

I woke up bright and early this morning to find not one, but two downloads. This cannot stand, so while I wait to gather more downloads, I'll point you to some great stuff that already exist, and existed looong before FB ever came out.FreeBASIC presents with itself some major oppurtunities, and some major porting action.

Some links are broken.. I can recompile the nibbles and blocks games if you want, just don't tell the M$ lawyers in the tribunal who gave them to you..

Interesting... these links were working last night.
Yes, if you would like to recompile those, I would be most grateful and update the links.
