Author: David D. Deprice

1. Platypus http://www.deprice.com/platypus.htm

Platypus is one of the most unique looking games ever created.
All of its visuals were created using photographed clay. Help
the peaceful land of Mungola defend itself against the attacking
hordes of Collosatropolis. All that stands between you and
complete destruction is an antique aircraft called Platypus!

2. Alien Shooter http://www.deprice.com/alienshooter.htm

The endless darkness and the somber, long passages of a military
complex have become the abode of evil, as thousands of
blood-thirsty creatures fill its offices, storehouses and
mysterious laboratories.

3. Luxor http://www.deprice.com/luxor.htm

As addictive as it is exciting, Luxor is an action-puzzle game
that takes you on a thrilling adventure across the lands of
Ancient Egypt. The mysterious goddess, Isis, has enlisted you to
battle Set and his evil minions. With 88 mind-blowing levels,
the challenge will not be an easy one. You must use your
mystical winged scarab to shoot magical spheres and destroy the
approaching colored spheres by making matches of three or more.
Stop them all before they can reach the pyramids at the ends of
the paths... or all of Egypt is doomed!

4. HyperBalliod http://www.deprice.com/hyperballoiddeluxe.htm

Hyperballoid Deluxe is an extremely addictive game based on the
classic Arkanoid, but completely overhauled to make it more
modern. The game has three brick types and features real impact
physics. Plus, there are three entirely different campaigns,
each with 50 unique levels and there is a level-packs support.
