Oolite is an independent reinterpretation and ehancement of the classic space sim game Elite for modern computers. The result is a space trading and combat simulation offering encounters with pirates, police, bounty hunters, the occasional alien menace, and other surprises along the way. While striving to reach the coveted Elite status, the players set their own path through the various galaxies, choosing to be trader, pirate, or bounty hunter depending on the situation at hand, and their own judgement. The game is hugely expandable, using a combination of property lists and JavaScript. Oolite's active modding community already provides more than 200 OXPs (Oolite eXpansion Packs). Among them are a huge variety of missions, weapons, ships, and extra career paths over and above what's available within the core game, as well as a number of other gameplay enhancements and customizations.
Pac Defence is a tower defence game where the aim is to destroy the evil pacs before they can reach their goal off the side of the screen. To stop them you can choose from 17 towers to build, or enlist the pac's greatest foe, the ghost. Towers cost money, so you cannot build as many as you want, and thus you must carefully choose which tower you want to build and where you want to build it. You gain money by damaging and destroying the pacs, and at the end of each level. Additionally, towers gain level ups after inflicting certain amounts of pain on the pacs.
