March 2004

Tim Hoke is the Sr. Pastor at Faith Presbyterian Church, a long-time member of Alamo PC and an avid computer user who loves to try out new programs, especially shareware and freeware. He gets excited about a good deal. More than that, he enjoys sharing good deals with others. Why not send him a note about your favorite shareware or freeware programs. |

I am offering a rather eclectic group of shareware and freeware
programs this month. There’s really no rhyme or reason for my choices.
The only things these programs have in common is that they are all recent
entries into the marketplace and for no other reason than that may interest
you.
Butterflies 3D 1.0 will give you a taste of spring in the midst of our lingering South Texas winter (at least winter was lingering when I wrote this). Enjoy the serenity of realistic 3D animated waterfalls in three beautiful settings while you witness God’s creation in its simulated glory. See hummingbirds and a dragonfly buzz around while a kaleidoscope of colorful butterflies flutter and land on the beautiful landscape. Pick which butterflies will inhabit your scene from of twenty different colorful species. Choose Yosemite Falls, the L.A. Arboretum and/or the Rain Forest as your scenes. Another interesting program is Bird Hunter 1.2. If you are a hunter you’ll no doubt enjoy playing this addictive, photo-realistic bird hunting game where the aim is to shoot down as many different kinds of birds as you can. The game displays full statistics including how many of each bird you've shot, how many you've missing, and your shooting accuracy. Not only is this game really fun to play but it also can actually improve your reflexes and hand-eye coordination. It includes Netpal, which will display occasional offers that may interest you and can be easily uninstalled. Did you ever think of looking at a nice-looking clock, not on your wall, but on your desktop? ClockWallpaper 1.1.0.4 is just such a clock and wallpaper that will adorn your desktop. You can always see the current time, and the alarm system will prevent you from missing appointments. ClockWallpaper capitalizes on the powers of modern video cards, but does not hog them when you play games. Photo2Album Free Edition 8.05 can easily turn digital photos to an e-mail-sized photo album that can contain over 100 photos in 1MB, 250 photos in 2MB, and 400 photos in 3MB. Users can create e-mail-sized photo albums with 3D page-flipping effect, any background music, and custom design for every page. On average, only 1 minute is required to create an e-mail-sized photo album. Version 8.05 makes photo browsing much faster and smoother. In the third part of Smugglers 3.0C, the award winning science-fiction trading game, you can play a greedy trader, an ambitious bounty hunter, a ruthless pirate, a mix of those or one of many other professions. Backed up by different kinds of crewmen (like droids or mercenaries) you can visit more than 75 planets in 25 solar systems in your attempt to gain favors with one of the four factions in the known galaxy. Once you've established your funds, upgrade your spaceship to hold more cargo or improve its weapons to wreak havoc on ships and planets throughout the star system. You can be promoted, receive medals and campaign ribbons. 10 days money back guarantee.. If you’d like a free game to try download Hangman 1.0 a. Guess the right word in this classic hangman game, which comes with nice graphics and sound effects, as well as 600 words in 12 categories. You can even add your own words and categories to an almost unlimited extent. As well as being a very fun game, hangman also helps extend your spelling and vocabulary. This game includes Netpal, which will display occasional offers that may interest you. Netpal can be easily uninstalled. With NVDVD 2.0 you can harness the power of your PC to bring photos, videos, music, multimedia and DVDs to life in the living room, on the desktop and on the road. The next version of NVIDIA NVDVD multimedia software, NVIDIA NVDVD 2.0, combines the ultimate video and audio playback with advanced features and intuitive controls to enable a home theater experience on any desktop or notebook PC. NVIDIA NVDVD is a full media player with play-list support, enabling users to create custom playlists of MP3 music, photo slideshows with background music, or any mixed audio and video presentation. . You can try it free for 14 days and pay $40 if you decide to keep it. You’ll find this one at <>. |
