Japanese gaming madness
From the suggestion box comes a hot tip for freeware games at a Japanese website. There’s 13 of them available, but if you can’t read Japanese, the information is skimpy. We tried one called Titanion. It’s like Space Invaders, but with wild music and the invaders coming at you in crazy patterns. The graphics are hard to describe — flat and two dimensional but with some nice shading.
Apparently the same developer has done a couple of other games for Windows: NOIZ2SA and rRootage.
And, yes, we do like tips from readers.
Update: The Mac version for NOIZ2SA can be found at MacUpdate. The link to the developer doesn’t work, but you can download directly from the site.
The Mac version of rRootage is at Pure Mac. Scroll down the page to find it. By the way, if you do a search on “freeware,” you’ll find several free games on the page.
(By the way, Pure Mac was established on March 9, 1996. If there were an independent Mac website hall of fame, Pure Mac would surely be a member. I would also nominate MacSurfer.)
And finally a game play tip for NOIZ2SA and rRootage: use the arrows keys, Z and X only.
