Grand Theft Auto 2

Respect is everything. In 1999, Rockstar Games and Rockstar North (then known as DMA Design) furthered the groundbreaking gameplay concepts established just two years prior in the original Grand Theft Auto - with the release of GTA2.

Earn your respect with each gang. Reap the benefits with all manner of shady work-for-hire gigs contracted your way. And climb your way to the top of the criminal pile.

Grand Theft Auto

In 1997, a band of developers that would come to be known as Rockstar North and Rockstar Games released the original Grand Theft Auto on an unsuspecting public.

We are now offering this classic progenitor of the Rockstar Games lineage as the first in a recurring series of Rockstar PC game downloads, absolutely free of charge.

Wormux

Have the mascots of your favorite free software titles battle it out in the Wormux arena using dynamite, grenades, baseball bats and other bazookas... Exterminate your opponent in a 2D environment with toon-style scenery. Each player controls the team of his choice (penguin, gnu, firefox, wilber,...) and must destroy his adversary using more or less casual weapons. Although a minimum of strategy is required to vanquish, Wormux is pre-eminently a "convivial mass murder" game where, turn by turn, each member of each team attempts to produce a maximum of damage to his opponents.

UltimateStunts

UltimateStunts will be a remake of the famous DOS-game "stunts". It is a 3D racing game, with simple CGA/EGA/VGA graphics and no texture or smooth shading, but because of the spectacular stunts (loopings, bridges to jump over, etc.) it was really fun to play. One of the best aspects of this game is that it had a track editor. Because of the tile-based tracks, every gamer was able to make it's own tracks. The remake won't become a DOS game: it will work on UNIX-compatible systems (like Linux), and on windows. It will also provide more modern features, like openGL graphics, 3D sound and internet multiplaying.

Warmonger

Warmonger is the first step to realizing a vision. NetDevil believes the next generation of FPS games will usher in new standards both in game play as well as technology that are currently unexplored. For decades the first person shooter has remained basically the same, granted there have been major shifts in style and technology, but basic game play has lacked any profound evolution. Physics technology has come to a point that will change all that, and change it forever. New rigid body technology and procedural destruction of game environments set the stage for dynamic content creation that is truly stunning and will literally change the way people think and play.

BlueMarine

blueMarine foundation is very similar to existing applications such as Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperture: a photo browser, which can be explored in different ways (by folder, by calendar, by tags, by galleries). This is just a core upon which different modules can be plugged in. The aim of blueMarine is to fully support the photographic workflow, even before the photo shoot (for instance, trip planning supported by maps) and beyond print or archival. For instance, an ornithologist usually manages field notes about the bird observed and photographed: directly binding them to photos and maybe GPS positioning data is much better than keeping a separate Excel sheet.
