Cradle of Rome
$19.95 - AWEM studio

Imagine that you are given a chance to build the ancient Rome! This legendary city was one of the most beautiful and powerful capitals ever existed in the history of the ancient world and you may become its Emperor! Sounds tempting, isn?t it? The game is easy to learn and play. All that you need to do is to match three or more tiles in a row by clicking on adjacent pieces to swap them. Below some of the tiles are marble plaques. Make matches over them to destroy them and finish the level. You have a limited amount of time to complete the level. Break all of the plaques before time runs out! When matched, some of the tiles give you resources that include gold, supplies and food. Each silver coin gives you 3 units of gold. Each gold coin gives you 5 units of gold. Collect coins and other resources to build the city. After each level you enter the shop where you may buy new buildings as soon as you get enough resources. New buildings give you tiles that are worth more and provide more gold, supplies and food.
Your achievements in the game will be awarded with bonuses - small inhabitants of Rome will appear in the City and bring you additional benefits! The faster you build the City the more chances you have to get to Olympus at the end of the game. Don't lose your chance to visit this legendary mountain!
There are five historical epochs in the game: The Seven Hills Epoch, The New City Epoch, The Birth of Empire Epoch, The Gladiators? Arena Epoch and The Age of Glory Epoch. Each of them offers you its own original buildings to buy. The diverse system of bonuses will make your game very fun and challenging to play. You will develop different strategies, depending on type of the level and bonus you get. Each new level will bring you more gold, supplies and food. And each new building bought will bring you closer to triumph! As soon as your city is built Roman people will proclaim you an Emperor of the great Rome!

Arcadrome : Space Stalker
$17.95 - NevoSoft

Perfect 3D arcade game. 100 levels, dashing fight, excellent
graphic, incredible sound tracks.
...A Dark time for the Human race has come. The Earth is in danger.
Aliens are going to capture planet Earth (as they always are).
It's clear to see that they are ugly, loathsome, vile and have the
worst designs of all conquerers. Women will be eaten away, the
brains of intelligent men will be worked into liquid assigned to
wash their nasty spaceships, children will be taken away for
terrible experiments. The others will not be spared, obviously
they will be simply pulverized into dust. So, there is a need for
somebody to save humankind.

The Aliens have settled over Earth and are now in orbit. In
response Earthlings quickly build an armed spaceship and equip an
expedition to give battle. It becomes known that the alien energy
is contained in crystals scattered all around the Arcadrome (their
vehicle launching site). The only way to neutralize their hordes
is to capture all crystals and to leave the enemy without energy.
That is the last hope of humanity. The spaceship is cramped, and
only one man can go in (may be bad since calculated in a hurry).
And you have been selected as that one man. Your civilization is
gazing up to you as their sole hope for survival.

"Out of everybody trying to save our planet Earth you are the
selected one", said the President grimly at parting, his face
grave with concern...

Your goal is to pickup all the crystals scattered over the field.
There are many monsters in Arcadrome, each one has its own tactics to
prevent you from completing your noble work. Some of them represent a serious danger.
They can shoot at you, mine the field ahead of you, steal your
crystals and so on. Be careful of meeting your unknown foe.
