Adventures on Pirate Isle 1.0.6
Pirate adventure game. more>>
The adventure begins when Slash regains consciousness among the debris of his former vessel, determined to uncover the secrets of the island, its treasure, and to discover a means of returning home.
Slash is a sugar glider from the distant land of Australia. Roughly the size of a small squirrel, sugar gliders have a membranous flap of skin connecting their forepaw to their hind feet. Sugar gliders can use this layer of skin in order to glide up to 150 feet through the air, jumping from tree to tree to escape the jaws of their predators.
Our hero is a seaworthy buccaneer who wears his trusty sabre always at his side. He was a notable sailor aboard his ship, being able to leap from mast to mast seemingly without effort. During his future adventures on Pirate Isle, Slash will be able to run, jump, climb, and glide his way to and past obstacles of all kinds.
When strategic maneuvers are not an option, Slash can whip out his sabre to deal death to the most fearsome of foes. Sugar gliders love fresh fruit, so finding such items along the way can rejuvenate or even grant temporary powers to our stalwart marsupial.
Using his unique talents, his uncanny wit, and his deft swordsmanship Slash must travel deeper and deeper into Pirate Isle, avoiding natural predators such as sea gulls, giant crabs, and wild boars.

- One-tap movement: Tap the checker and it will be moved according the rolled dice.
- Auto Save game on exit: The application automatically saves current match on exit. On the next startup you can select either to load the saved match or start a new one.
- Dynamic touch area adjustment technology: Implementation of this great feature allows much easier way for selecting the checker and the target position. How does it work?
- Without this technology the tapping area for selecting checker is quite narrow and requires very accurate touching.
- In most cases checkers have free position (without checkers of the same color ) in one or both sides. In this situation the touch area for a given checker is expanded to the free side and becomes wider. On positions next to borders there are always free spaces.
- The similar technique is used for defining touch area of the target positions.
- Currently this feature is realized only in Landscape view. In vs.Human mode this feature is available for all users. Please test it and feel the difference!
- Highlight target positions
- After selecting checker for the movement, the game shows possible target positions according to the rolled dice. The targets are highlighted using green color. In vs.Human mode this feature is available for all users.
- Autoroll. Turning on this feature allows the game to roll dice automatically without waiting you to tap Roll button.

Dont think this mission will be easy. Random events and subtle puzzles make for a dangerous experience. For more information, and instructions on how to play, see the included Read Me file (in pdf or rtfd format), or use the Datapad item during the game. There is also one secret item in the game. While it has no practical use, it is hard to find, and requires that you go in nearly the opposite direction from your goal, as well as combating a monster instead the Massassi temple. Good luck, trooper!

Betrayal at Krondor 1.0
Betrayal at Krondor - Classic DOS game Krondor now on a Mac more>>
I am making available a stand-alone Mac OS X application bundle for the old fantasy role-playing game Betrayal at Krondor from Dynamix.
Betrayal at Krondor, which is originally a DOS game, was released as freeware a few years after its release to promote the sequel.
The game naturally does not run natively in Mac OS X -- it is run transparently through the DOSBox emulator, an open-source project which creates a DOS-like virtual environment from which old games can run without compatibility problems.
Unfortunately, DOSBox is quite slow, so in order to run the game with decent responsiveness, I recommend that all graphics be set to minimum quality and game sounds and music be entirely switched off.
