EyeQ

Submitted by whatznext28 on September 4, 2007 - 12:48pm

I have a piece of software call eyeQ that is supposed to help you develop the ability to read faster. I have always thought that it would be nice to be able to take it with me so I wasn't locked to my pc to do the training sessions & keep track of my progress. If you need to find out more about the software, it can be found at www.eyeq.tv. I am not sure if this is possible, but it would be nice to have a portable version.

Linley's Dungeon Crawl

Submitted by NeSS Esqa on September 2, 2007 - 4:00pm

This is a roguelike game in the same line as NetHack.
(original Website) http://www.dungeoncrawl.org/?d
(Wikipedia link) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linley's_Dungeon_Crawl

There is a tile version of this game here: http://crawlj.sourceforge.jp/down_e.html
The tile version is portable. (as far as I can tell)

Since the main version of Dungeon Crawl has stalled, a project has risen to continue development of it. It is called Stone Soup, and it also has a tile version.
