Retro Galaxy is a 3D remake of the classic 1979 shoot-em-up Galaxian. If you remember the original then it should give you nostalgic and novelty value at best. Retro Galaxy is merely an in-between-tasks desktop time filler. If you’re in the mood to zone out for a few minutes and mindlessly shoot stuff, then by all means give it a go.

The object of the game is simple. Move the ship from side to side, dodge the aliens and their bombs while trying to shoot as many of them as possible. Points awarded for destroying aliens are based on color and flight status.

TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted data storage device (hard drive, usb thumb drive, etc).

On-the-fly encryption means that data are automatically encrypted or decrypted right before they are loaded or saved, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. The entire file system is encrypted - file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc.

Files can be copied to and from a mounted TrueCrypt volume just like they are copied to/from any normal disk, the files are automatically decrypted on-the-fly.

Hurrican is a freeware jump and shoot game created by Poke53280 that is based on the Turrican game series. Blast your way through nine action-packed levels filled with different enemies and powerups.

Hurrican is also completely customisable. Players can create and replace their own in-game content - graphics, sounds and languages. Players can also create their own levels via the downloadable level editor.

Review by Joystiq: “Hurrican is packed with vast, non-linear levels filled with weapons to find and swarms of enemies to use them on. The control scheme is a bit complex with several button combinations to memorize, but us old-school gamers are used to putting in effort to squeeze more fun out of our games.”
