Q-POP (Windows 3.1)

Q-POP is a rather obscure Spore-like game and only known in Germany, the English version isn't fully translated as it never got to be released.
You can control 1 of 6 alien species, a hotseat function for multiplayer is also available.
The game is divided in 3 main sections:
In the overworld you place down your creatures and occupy land as well as attack the other species.
In the "Eat or be Eaten" level you will have to walk around, eat plants and mate to produce offspring.
In the "Beasts and Mutations" status screen you can increase your skills according to how many evolution points you've gained.

It can only be played under Windows 3.1 if you choose the downloadable version at FRUNIT.
If you want more than 256 colors in Windows 3.1 to enjoy the full colour-scheme of the game, download and install this: ftp://ftp.cstula.ru/oldftp/DRV&BIOS/Video/s3/ … 64/w3117004.zip
Unzip the 3 archives, then either open the German or French archive and unzip them into the same folder and start the install. After it has finished, you can change the colour mode under "Windows-Setup":

(do not go higher then 32K or Windows will complain about not enough RAM and some icons will stay black)

A modernized Browser-Version can be played here:

Click the "DE"-button at the top right to change to a fully translated English version of the game.

Unfortunately, the CD Music cannot be used in the Browser version and neither in the downloadable DOS versions.
The Music was only available on the later CD version release.

The Midi-Music is compatible with AdLib/SB1.5 and Roland-Midi devices.

German only.
Basically a re-skin of Q-POP but with robots. All the game mechanics are identical, so even without an english version you should be able to play it no problem if you choose to play it under Windows 3.1.

Choose the "MPLAN32.exe" file to start the game under Windows 10, there you will have additional options such as being able to choose "English" as language.

ive been learning short german since ive been reading a book that i got

A 640x480 CRT? Weird. Yeah yeah I know in the X (lol) erra it's hard to string together words.

Wonder which OS it won't run on now.

Didn't yet try it but heard they restored the WON version's menu. But at least not on GoldSrc.

25 years successful conclusion to the HL series, I think Valve will work on other titles, beating HL like a dead horse, let the fan/mod community do remakes etc

How come Indiegala freebies are never posted here?

Looks like GOG fixed the add to library issue in Chrome.

The Seeker

Description:

The Seeker is an action/stealth game, where you are in the role of the little drone that was accidentally activated by the debris that hit the EPC-221.It all began after the Great Galactic war when people had to leave earth, however instead of living peacefully, they destroyed themselves to ashes by their greed for power.

Now you, as The Seeker, woken up, ready to find the cause of all of the GGW

Personally I don't think we should clog this forum up with indiegala games. Vast swathes of indie game are free. The link above does not even display a "normal price" or anything. Similar with free-to-play shooters etc.
