	Chicken Crossing  License: Freeware
	Why does the chicken cross the road? To catch the worm on the other side! To start, press the space bar. Use the directional keys to control the chicken. Avoid the cars or trucks. Get to the other side and eat the worm. Congratulations! You have cleared Level 1. Subsequent levels are more difficult. This chicken not only has to cross roads but rivers, or both. The worm is no longer on the other bank. You have to catch more than one worm. The final worm is on the other bank. To cross rivers, hop on the backs of tortoises and crocodiles to get across. Be careful. Sometimes, they dip under water and you will lose a life. It’s best to jump on logs or boats when they appear. At any time, you may press the space bar to freeze the action. You cannot move in this mode but you can plot your path better when the traffic gets heavier and faster. Press the space bar again to resume action. When you are riding things on the river, be alert. If you go out of the screen, you lose a life. Don’t be a chicken. Play Chicken Crossing. Author: Justgames.ch| Date: 09-12-2006 | Size: 2517 KB

	Super Switch  License: Freeware
	Super Switch is one of those games that you can learn to play in seconds but mastering it will take forever! The goal of the game is to swap adjacent objects to make a set of 3 or more. Click on an object to highlight it and then click on a second object that you want to swap. Swaps can only be made horizontally and vertically. When a combination of 3 or more is achieved they are removed from the board and more objects fall down to replace them. Making larger matches of 4 or 5 will give you extra points as well as destroying surrounding objects. Each time a match is made the timer bar at the bottom of the screen will increase. To move onto the next level you need to fill the bar up completely. Each new level will be harder and faster so you’ll need all your speed and skill to compete with the best Super Switch players.

	Classic Tetris  License: Freeware
	Classic Tetris is a very popular falling blocks puzzle game. A sequence of tetrominoes - shapes composed of four circle blocks each - fall down the playing field. The object of the game is to manipulate these tetrominoes, by moving each one sideways and rotating it by 90 degree units, with the aim of creating a horizontal line of blocks without gaps. When such a line is created, it disappears, and the blocks above (if any) fall. As the game progresses, the tetrominoes fall faster, and the game ends when the player "tops out", that is, when the stack of tetrominoes reaches the top of the playing field and no new tetrominoes are able to enter.

The planet Saturn is primarily composed of hydrogen, with small proportions of helium and trace elements. The interior consists of a small core of rock and ice, surrounded a thick layer of metallic hydrogen and a gaseous outer layer. The outer atmosphere is generally bland in appearance, although long-lived features can appear. Wind speeds on Saturn can reach 1,800 km/hr; significantly faster than on Jupiter. Saturn has a planetary magnetic field that is intermediate in strength between Earth's and the more powerful field around Jupiter. - wiki Screensaver Picture Count: 18 Screensaver Type: Slideshow Credit: All images in this screensaver provided by NASA and the ESA Author: RateMyScreensaver| Date: 15-01-2008 | Size: 1979 KB

	Fping  License: Freeware
	Ping is one of the most useful network debugging tools available. The first ping program was written by Mike Muuss in December 1983 for use on Unix machines. Muuss named his program after the sonar sounds used for echolocation by submarines, although some say ping stands for "Packet InterNet Grouper". Ping sends a small packet of information containing an ICMP ECHO_REQUEST to a specified computer, which then sends an ECHO_REPLY packet in return. The ping program then evaluates this reply, and a report is shown. You can check several things with the ping program: can you reach another computer, how long does it take to bounce a packet off of another site (what is the distance), ... You can ping either a domain name, or an IP address. Functionality to show domain names when using IP addresses is supported. Even routing options are available, alas only 9 routes can be shown due to the structure of the IP header (RFC 792). Why did I write my own ping program? There are two main reasons: a) It wanted to know how the ping program worked. I found it really intriguing and was very curious and b) There was a need for a better ping program here at the lab where I work. Author: Wouter Dhondt| Date: 25-11-2002 | Size: 43 KB
