C64 Classix is a compilation of a staggering more than 500 Commodore 64 games on one hybrid Windows/Mac CD-ROM.
The games aren't ports to Windows or Mac platforms, but rather they are stored in the original C64 format and can be played with WinVICE, emulation software included. The games will be loaded automatically after you click on them in a nice GUI, and you don't have to load them one by one in the emulator, which comes in handy. You can even view and read additional information on each game, such as screenshots, the manual, the year of release, the original company that coded the game, links to their web page and more.
Numerous games included have versions where you can choose unlimited lives, level skip etc. Please also note that loading time is emulated as well, but using the warp mode (alt-w) you can speed up the emulator to 1300%, speeding up loading time drastically. Pressing alt-w again makes the game run back at 100% speed again.

Enemy tactics include random shooting, homed projectiles and mines. The garrisons, naturally, can release fighter ships to aid in their attack.
This game is a one-button-game where you have to repeatedly hit the space bar to power up your rocket in order to let it fly into the sky... or crash it nearby.
You main goal is to hit the button only then when it is over the green part of your control system. The more you are off the center, the more the rockets angle will increase (if you are still in the power-up area) or the rocket is loosing power (if you are beyond the power-up area).
Once you have enough power (turned the vertical red line green), your rocket will start with the angle you have achieved. Depending on that angle, you rocket will either go to the orbit or fly a 180° into the ground.
The game has a highscore table that counts the time you needed to get your rocket successfully into space.

Strat-O-Gems Deluxe is a new Atari 2600 game by John Payson, originally created for the 2005 Minigame Competition that bears similarities to Columns, Jewel Master, and Salu's Acid Drop. In Strat-O-Gems Deluxe, colored gems fall from the top of the screen in groups of three. Any time three or more adjacent gems of the same color line up vertically, horizontally, or diagonally they will disappear. Any gems above them will then fall down; if these create new groups of three or more gems, those too will disappear, leading to chain reactions. Your job is to score as many reactions and chain reactions as possible before the gems reach the foul line. If any gems remain over the foul line after all reactions are complete, the game will end.
Narbacular Drop is an environmental puzzle video game developed by Nuclear Monkey Software. It was released for free online in 2005 for Microsoft Windows. It was the senior game project of students attending DigiPen Institute of Technology. The gameplay consists of navigating a dungeon using an innovative portal system. The player controls a pair of interconnected portals that can be placed on any non-metallic surface (wall, ceiling, or floor). Gabe Newell, managing director of Valve Corporation, took interest in the team's work and employed the whole staff at Valve. The developers went on to make Portal (2007) using many of the same concepts.
The word Narbacular, which does not exist in any dictionary, was chosen primarily to aid in internet search engine results.
Being mostly a proof of applied concept, the game contains only six puzzles to solve. However, members of the Narbacular Drop forum community have created a catalog of custom maps.
