- Art of Japanese Crosswords — It’s a game. Moreover, it’s a Japanese game. Created not so far (1987) by the Japanese puzzle-master Tetsuya Nishio, the game, however, soaked up the ancient culture and civilization. It’s an art. The pictures are simple, the drawing is logical, not creative; but when the puzzle is solved, you suddenly see some small piece of art created by your mind and your hands from the plain and unpretentious…
- CellFighter Game 2.04. New Life for Game of Life — Almost 40 years ago, when computers were large working machines and the phrase «computer game» sounded absurdly, a famous British mathematician invented the so-called «Game of Life», which by no means was a game, it was rather an example of a cellular automata clear for even a child. You certainly have seen those black-and-white cells (and possibly even have written you own example in the middle school). Many…

- GenealogMap 4.01. Genealogy and Fun — First: Genealogy studies are useful, interesting and exciting. Is it the study of your own family («Grandma, do you remember your grandma’s birth place? I should know!») Or that can be the biography of Great Poet’s grandchildren (irrespectively of who the «Great Poet» was). Or that might be some less-known Civil War hero’s life. Collecting the data, names, dates, and cities, organizing…
- ProSaver Screensaver Manager 1.0.1, Screensavers as Art — Years ago, in the times of single-task OSes and old monitors, the «screen-saver» concept was introduced as a must (because if the same picture remained on the old screen for too long, the picture would physically damage the screen and create «burnt-out pixels» on it.) Years have passed, and modern monitors have almost no need for «saving the screen». Nevertheless, screensavers are still alive and are becoming some kind…
- Museum of New Psychedelic Art — Although screensavers only occasionally appear on our displays, they greatly add to the aesthetic appeal of our computers, especially now, when the functional role of screensavers has drastically diminished due to the overall dominance of LCD monitors. Standard Windows screensavers are not even nearly as impressive as commercial products available on the market. If you are looking for a bright, eye-catching and unusual screensaver, check out…

Perfect Clock gives a whole different idea on clock and timing, presenting time as a perfect combination of punctuality, power and art. Perfect Clock is a very flexible desktop…
- Mandala Painter, An Entertaining Art — Even the prettiest flower on earth is actually a great combination of simpler shapes (petals), symmetrically repeated around the circle. This is also true about other «tricky» masterpieces — snowflakes, shining stars, and even the most unrealistic designs capturing our eye through the glass of a kaleidoscope. Too sad — all of those exciting figures soon just pass away, and the best we can do about that…
- HopMon - a great fun-packed 3D arcade for all ages — There was a time when games were all about fun and excitement. The graphics were far less impressive than today, the storylines were not like those of Hollywood movies, but despite all that, millions of players across the world met every new arcanoid with incredible enthusiasm.
