LOST IN THE STATIC
Here is an interesting game I found yesterday. It is a platformer with a weird twist. Everything looks like static.....kinda like when your TV is on a channel that is not broadcasting. The sprites, platforms, dangerous items, attackers......they are also static, but a different static so that you can see them. The weird thing is, if you take a screen shot of the game, you will not see them.....all you will see is static.
Here is a description from the download site:
"Lost in the Static is a simple little game that uses some surprising aspects of the human perceptual system to create a visible world out of animating static.
Please note that this display is not suitable for everyone! Some people find they get headaches or nausea, or their eyes get "all woggly". If you do not find the experience pleasant, stop playing!"
The game worked fine on my VISTA Home Basic.

Here's a nice game: AVANTGARDE
Here is a short description from the game creator:
"Game description: An interactive homage to one of the greatest artist of the XX century. It's a mix between a color puzzle game and a space shooter"

This game is tough to describe, so I won't. Just go try it out. I can almost guarantee you've never played a game quite like it.
(Works fine on VISTA Home Basic)

Tired of spending time playing Windows MineSweeper? How about a much better bomb game.....ACIDBOMB.
Here is a description from the creator of the game:
"Acidbomb is a fifty level puzzle game where you must find the pistons used to trigger a bomb and defuse them before time runs out. There are many bombs scattered around the world, from biological bombs that have hair-sensitive triggers to napalm bombs that are exploding at the seams, to nuclear warheads that have challenged even the highest trained bomb defusal agent.
Along with this game you get the Virtual Bomb Simulator which allows you to make your own bombs, and a minigame called Ac!drop that is completely different from the rest of the game...but you'll see that for yourself.
Given that all the bombs in the game have random pistons, you will never EVER solve a bomb the same way twice. Ever."

I enjoy playing this game, and it can be quite challenging. It may take a while to get used to how to play, but it's worth it. There is a nice tutorial included.

BEAT IT!
No, this game has nothing to do with Michael Jackson.
Here is a description from the creator:
"The long-standing feud between the humans and the Vorglon reaches its high point when the Vorglon turn it into a war of attrition.
The Vorglon use mass drivers to send endless unguided cargo containers at high speed over the intergalactic shipping lanes. Humanity defends against these by deploying an Automatic Defense Base into the local shipping lanes, where it can destroy them effectively as they use the automatic exit ramps, which are few in number.
The Vorglon also send numerous other assailants which fly in under their own power at lower speed. You are charged with defending against them using your highly mobile Lead Defense Unit (which is constructed from lead to maximize weight so as to minimize recoil).
To defend you must use your power shot and your weak shot. The power shot is effective against all your opponents, but it is powered by human lives, so each shot you fire still reduces the human population. Make your shots count! Your alternative weapon, the weak shot, does not consume human lives and fires faster, but it does much less damange and is only effective against the weakest foes."

The graphics of this game reminded me a little of a latter level in the old classic Atari TEMPEST video game.
One cool thing about this game is that as ammo is being fired at the enemy, music is created. Watch the shooter on the left....as it fires, it is creating some of the music!
There is a tutorial, which I highly recommend trying first. This game can be windowed, as per instructions on the download page (I believe you click the "windowed" file in the game's folder. As always, this game is FREE.
