Basically one of those old Flash games where you send units from left to right.

Straightforward and fun! Until you just die for reasons you can’t explain!

A pretty basic tower defence game, with the twist that enemies reach your core and carry off power thingies. I think I remember a Flash game like this.

It’s kinda neat, but reminiscent of old DOS games; not good enough.

A simple semi-roguelike tactics-esque game.

Lots of fun, albeit somewhat slow.

A pinball game which is absolutely nothing compared to Epic Pinball – (1993 game).

Wow the graphics are bad and the controls are bad.

  • A refresh of the 2007 Xbox 360

A top-down strategy game.

I dunno, it’s slow and awkward and has more talking than playing. Maybe I’d just have to wade through for much more time before the real game happens, but I’m not going to give it that chance. A game should be fun immediately.

DisplayFusion logo

Software >

https://www.displayfusion.com/

A utility (primarily) for those with multiple monitors.

I got it to stretch my bottom bar across into the other screen, and it also has a feature to fix alt-tab so it only shows/includes the current desktop. Also of interest is putting a proper screensaver on alternate monitors.

It has a huge array of features. Of note is a configuration backup/restore feature, so I don’t have to make any notes on it.

I’m using the for-pay standard version, and can’t review the without-cost version. So while I can say I highly recommend this, I don’t think it’s really valuable to recommend something with a price tag.

A video editor, and more; too much more.

A terrible initial impression; it requires some patience, watching a tutorial and following instructions. Don’t wander around; don’t use strange features, and stay in the “Edit” view!

A remote controlling program which also brings your phone’s functionality to your desktop, including launching it’s applications.

It uses a screencasting method, just sending video. It’s low quality; just use Samsung DeX.
