A simple and small text editor.

This doesn’t really have a name. Even in it’s source it’s just called “Text editor”.

A social media platform.

Positioned as a “free as in beer and free as in freedom” alternative to platforms like Twitter, minds has significant potential.

A freemium Minecraft clone with a number of improved features.

It’s prettier but has a lot of pop-in. The two block-high jump and sliding movement are unsettling. It’s nice to have a list of all crafting patterns, and searching is nice. Crafting is very nice with its previews.

Overall I’d say this is a good game and an appropriate drop-in replacement for people who like Minecraft.

A multiplayer, text, third-person shooter originally made for DOS, but I know it from Novell Netware.

I had a hell of a lot of fun with it. Perhaps it’s nostalgia which makes me stay so fond of it, but I think the fundamental gameplay still holds up today. I could easily imagine a great updated version of this but I have and still do see this same gameplay in all sorts of other top-down games.
