And thanks for reminding me of all those that have helped (and continue to help). The games syynopsis has been a very valuable contribution to this project, so G@rgoyle, who continues to file away details for us - a special thank you to you. :) W.R. wizzard_of_ozz2004 on "Week 59 - Free games for the weekday - Anniversary special all week" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6420#post-66729 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:39:14 +0000 wizzard_of_ozz2004 66729@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Congratulations Stephen, and a big thank you to not only Stephen, rO, thewebmaster, granny (g@rgoyle,) pavid, tnip and some others that I'm sure I've forgotten but also to all of the forum members who have encouraged the growth of the project and supported it day in and day out. As for today's games. This is an excellent lot of games. Definitely check out the Squid Yes games as those were two that I had set aside to post at some point in time as well. Definitely two of the better freeware games available. I don't know much about the others, but they look good. Thanks again my friend.

I meant to do this last month, but got side tracked, so here it is now. I’ll have some good games for you over the next five days (well four now, lol) that include an interesting truck racing game, a squad based /third person shooter, a tank game, asteroids another arena shooter , a children’s drawing game, plus more. Today’s games are all space arena shooters. I know there are loads of them around and we’ve posted quite a few already over the last year, but I think these are worth the effort, especially if you like anything psychedelic and you’ll find some on similar lines to the first couple I post today. The first three are all done by the same author. The third game I’ve had to censor the name because it’s really not appropriate for these forums. Following the download link and videos will take you to the full name. It doesn’t sit right with me. The word is a horrible word and I wish the developer had chosen something else, but that said I don’t think the game should suffer because of its name. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Squid Yes Not so Octopus: (6.78Mb) The Story: Born of atomic death! Raised in the shadow of a mushroom cloud! He’s a squid! Not an Octopus! He’s Squid Yes! Not So Octopus! And…. he’s very irritable. Let’s face it, you’d be irritable if you were a mutated radioactive squid that nobody wants to talk to for fear of dying a slow painful death after just standing a little too close. And man, some mornings you just want to take it out on the whole wide world. Normally SY!NSO! can keep his temper, those breathing exercises the United States Radioactive Protection Force taught him work wonders. Throw in a nice warm cup of tea and the world usually becomes a nicer place to live in. <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/Freeware%20Games/Squid%20Yes%20Not%20so%20Octopus/SquidYesNotSoOctopusScreenshot--art.jpg"></center> <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/Freeware%20Games/Squid%20Yes%20Not%20so%20Octopus/synso.png"></center> Man, it’s not so easy to keep your temper when your home is being invaded by alien robots from the planet Thwip. Must they pick his birthday too? That’s just so inconsiderate. Oh well, I guess there’s nothing left to do but charge up your patented “Beams Of Electro Death” and annihilate every last one of the little buggers. Terrorising innocent squids is a mistake they won’t ever make again if SY!NSO! has his way. Ok, so maybe he’s not quite so innocent after that incident with the cow and the twig, but that was an accident that could happen to any toxic squid with telepathic powers. Why they chose SY!NSO!’s abode, nobody will ever know. After they’ve felt his wrath, it’s doubtful they’ll ever return. Take control of SY!NSO! in this arcade blaster and show the Thwippers that they really picked the wrong house, the wrong morning and the wrong squid this time… Squid Yes! Not So Octopus! is an arena shooter inspired by the work of Eugene Jarvis and Paul Holmes, early developers of games for the Spectrum and ZX81 The aim of the game is to survive for 8 minutes and score as close to 9 points as possible. <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/Freeware%20Games/Squid%20Yes%20Not%20so%20Octopus/synso2-500x375.png"></center> The Game: Guide SY!NSO! around the arena using either keyboard or joystick taking out the swarms of incoming aliens. Collect gems along the way to score higher. Shooting aliens or collecting gems increases your score by small amounts; every minute you survive gives you one whole bonus point and increased firepower. The maximum possible score is 9. As well as featuring a full arcade game experience condensed into 8 action packed minutes, SY!NSO! also features a series of accessibility options and player aids to help the player get to grips with the game. Switch on swarm warnings or select a practice mode to learn the ropes or to just kick back and enjoy yourself without having to worry about score. <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/Freeware%20Games/Squid%20Yes%20Not%20so%20Octopus/SYNSO3.png"></center> Play on one of two separate boards, a classic arcade board recalling the arcade classic Robotron or the SY!NSO! pixel board featuring a rather fine pixilated backdrop or play with a selection of screen effects including glow effects, scan lines or the all out insanity of “ARE YOU MENTAL?” mode. Originally created for awesome web magazine Way Of The Rodent and released by Bagfull of Wrong and Retromasters and built from an idea by Steve “Maibock”, Squid Yes! Not So Octopus is a unique arena shooter experience that appeals to retro lovers, arcade game addicts and those with a nose for a fine game.

Everything from the classic power meter, upgrade capsules, and boss ships with specific weak points have been transferred and updated with slight changes for this loose remake." Since space arena games are not as popular as they were in the late 80s, the Storm Project development team decided to offer everybody the chance to experience a game similar in concept and look to Gradius. That game is Storm Assault, a freeware game that can be downloaded right away following the link at the end. The game is still in its early stages of development (version 0.2 currently), but the two available stages are excellent.. You can check out some Storm Assault game play by watching the video’s below. The second level features battles with Moai statues, which was originally never included in earlier releases. Joystick and gamepads are automatically detected, but you can use the keyboard to control your ship as well. <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/Freeware%20Games/Storm%20Assault/stormas2i.png"> <img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/Freeware%20Games/Storm%20Assault/stormas2l.png"></center> Video and Images: I uploaded over 30 images, so though I’d link to my photobucket account as I think posting 30 images here would overwhelm the post, lol.
