Sqrxz v0.9.9 (Symbian OS Game)

Sqrxz requires fast reflexes and is a simply mindblasting Jump’n’Run puzzle game with high frustration factor.

Storyline:

While Sqrxz wandered around on a sunny day, he was unaware that he had lost all his items while enjoying the scenery. It was already dark until he recognized the loss. There was no possibilty, but to go back where he started the trip and save his things. If the loss was not already enough, strange creatures appeared. Will they be helpful?

Sqrxz (2010) is a remake of a game with the same name and has been created by Rodolphe Boixel (Thor), Shahzad Sahaib (Kojote), Simon Butler and Brendan Ratliff (Syphus). Minor support came from Marcus Vesterlund himself who also gave permission to redo his game. Denny Müller (Mulle) supported the team with a WordPress-Theme for the official page and Rabia Sahaib (Mahek) made three more levels.

A remake should be usually bearing improvements, so does Sqrxz 2010. Beside the “classic” graphic mode, there is a new mode with “deluxe” graphics. The main gameplay has modified in a way that you need to collect all items to open the door at the end of each level, which makes some levels harder than they actually already were. Extended “fun” is guarantueed with additional three levels, unseen before. Each level does have it’s own chiptune and adds up to the retro feeling. A Top 10 highscore table will hold all your records. For the ones who like hidden features, there is even a small easter egg!

Features:

* Hardly any game will annoy you more! Frustration deluxe ahead!
* Amiga’ish feeling!
* 16 Levels including a “beginners” level
* 18 Chiptunes
* Classic AND new graphic mode
* Top 10 highscore
* Endless continue mode
* Hidden easter egg

The initial versions are for the following platforms: Windows, Amiga OS4, MorphOS, NetBSD (x86 & PPC) and Symbian OS (S60v3/S60v5 & UIQ3) – Thanks for these go to Thor, phx and Anotherguest.

There were great artists working with the team such as Simon Butler for the new graphics and Syphus for the great chipmusic!

Sqrxz is available in the flavors Windows, Amiga OS4, MorphOS, NetBSD and Symbian OS.

Shanes Chess Information Database v4.2.2 (Pandora Application)

Shane’s Chess Information Database (or Scid) is a popular free UNIX, Windows, Linux, and Mac database application for viewing and maintaining databases of chess games. Scid development has been resumed after it ceased in 2004. There is at least one other project making use of Scid code – ChessDB.

Scid supports portable game notation and its own Scid database format. It can be used with chess engines with support for Winboard such as Crafty and GNU chess, and with UCI such as Fruit, Rybka and Shredder to play chess against or to analyse games. Scid can use up to five piece endgame tablebases. Photographs of players may be stored in the database, so they are shown when a game is played.
