Zap! is a top-down arcade shoot-em-up in space featuring numerous enemies and bosses to contend with across multiple levels. Its first iteration, simply titled Zap!, was first published in 1999 for Palm OS 3.x devices, but later received a full-color remake called Zap! 2000. An enhanced version of this remake, Zap! 2016, was later released with improved graphics and sound in 2003.
Some mods out there work to provide a realistic atmosphere or a sense of being a part of a military unit. Others seek to bring popular movies to Half-Life in order to replicate the feeling of the movie in a game. Still others evoke fear and revulsion with a dark, gloomy feel. And then you have mods that make you laugh your ass off. Rocket Crowbar is of the latter type, and one of the best out there right now. If you're looking for wacky fun, Rocket Crowbar delivers. In spades.
Rocket Crowbar is basically a weapons modification mod, but the new HL 1.1-compatible version has a couple of extra tricks up its sleeve. First of all, the server can enable a CTF mode on any deathmatch level. All you have to do is make sure teamplay is on and that at least two teams are listed in the server options. Best of all, you can have up to six teams for some really chaotic fun. Secondly, the mod includes the option of a little pregame poll. The person hosting the server just has to edit the appropriate text files in the mod director
Odens Öga is a third-person action game with twelve levels. Players must find and collect keys to unlock gates to the next level. The worlds are populated with monsters, including aggressive wolves and rabbits. Players use ranged missile attacks and limited flight abilities to combat these creatures.
There are seven characters to choose from, differing only in appearance. Points are earned by defeating enemies and collecting amulets. Other collectibles, like stones and chests, boost health or reduce monster damage. Stepping on anthills affects player abilities, either positively or negatively. Players have three lives per level and must restart the level if all lives are lost.

The game has link cable support for two player action and is compatible with both Game Boy and Game Boy Color.
Untitled Game was made just as game modifications began to gain widespread recognition as an art form unto itself. JODI made the piece by altering the graphics of Quake as well as the software code that makes it work. Their mods reduced the complex graphics of Quake 1 to the bare minimum, aiming for maximum contrast between the complex soundscapes and the minimal visual environment. For the mod 'Arena,' JODI took this principle to the extreme: they completely erased every graphical element of the game, turning monsters, characters and backgrounds all to white. The more psychedelic 'Crl-Space,' the earliest of the set, is not based on a static image. Instead, it features a swirling black-and-white background. The game engine generates this effect as it continuously tries, and fails, to visualize the interior of a cube lined with black-and-white wallpaper.
Sod is an extreme modification or "hack" of id Software’s action game Wolfenstein 3D, in which the goal was to escape from a Nazi dungeon. In Sod, Wolfenstein 3D’s representational renderings (considered state-of-the art at the time of the game’s release in 1992) have been replaced by pure geometrical forms in a limited palette of black, white and gray. The result is a game space that is loosely architectural and extremely disorienting; it is easy to get lost, and it can be difficult to distinguish the walls from the targets one is supposed to shoot. Paesmans and Heemskerk complement the game-play difficulties with a cryptic interface (setting game preferences is no easy task!) and tongue-in-cheek game instructions along the lines of "If you are tough, press N. If not, press Y daintily." With its stark elegance, Sod offers a compelling alternative to the computer game industry’s mindless pursuit of representational realism.
D-Day: Normandy is a first-person shooter set across all theatres of war in World War II, originally developed as a Quake II mod in 1999 and later released as a free standalone game.
