As raveous puts it, “simple and good for busting a few quick minutes.” If that’s the case – you’ll love it. Download, give your frontal lobe a little exercise and figure out raveous’ AI system in the homebrew game of BROX. Ad Hoc or some means of multiplayer would definitely be cool. Maybe that’s a future release.

The objective: Strategically draw lines connecting dots all over the board. Be the one to complete a full box and that’s one (1) point for you. Be the one to box the most boxes and you win.

I challenge you to a game of MTN’s Graph… It’s similar to Peg Jump in terms of simplicity; however, Graph definitely poses a real challenge as you progress further through each level. And not only that: MTN has shared a pre-release of a Graph Level Editor (GLE) allowing you to create, well, your own levels. Download both the game and the editor below.

As I mentioned, the Graph concept is simple: you start where you see the red dot, move the cursor to a connecting dot ridding the line between the two. Once you’ve eliminated all lines, proceed to the next.

I’ve never seen DOOM look so good; then again, growing up I had an i486SX that was incapable of running DOOM. While all my friends were dialing each other up and fragging one another, I was stuck playing Leisure Suit Larry 5: Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work. Don’t get me wrong, that was still pretty awesome.

Anyway, that’s neither here nor there… This is kgsws’ second release of his DOOM Legacy port. Play DOOM, DOOM 2, or Heretic with new and improved hardware rendering. See info.txt.

What’s new?

• GU (hardware) rendering
• little code cleanup (for example software renderer removed)
• fixed some legacy’s bugs
• removed some things (for example old status bar)
• new bugs added (but i don’t know them yet)

One more bona fide OpenBOR mod by none other than NickyP… Maplevania, if you couldn’t guess by the name, is a cross between Maplestory and Castlevania. Choose among 3 available characters — Ethan Belmont, Claus Moriarti, or Amelia Delacroix — and beat the shit out of whoever crosses your path. It’s what OpenBOR is all about.

NickyP quotes –

This was sort of an idea that put itself together over time. I love Castlevania games and always wanted to do something in BOR about it. I love Maplestory’s sprites and always wanted to do something in BOR about it. It wasn’t until one day that a friend of mine showed me a screenshot of Maplestory, one of the players was holding a whip as a weapon. It was then that the light bulb in my head turned on, and Maplevania was born (thanks Rob)! It originally started out as a joke/parody mod, but as development went by I took it more seriously, and in my opinion it turned out pretty well!

Damn well indeed.
