Visually, and technically stunning, Big Bang Chess is the start of a whole new universe of casual gaming. Featuring incredibly tight integration with Apple technologies, Big Bang Chess allows you to experience the joys of casual gaming without sacrificing any of the elements that make using Mac OS X such a pleasure. Big Bang Chess has an incredibly appealing visual interface. From the floating Splashscreen which causes new users to call their friends over to see it, to the embedded quicktime movies inside the game itself the whole experience shows an intelligence and focus on design. But the real killer feature of Big Bang Chess is it's use of Apple technology and the iApps. Casual games are not best played full screen. People like to play them while surfing, or iChatting or doing some email-- Big Bang Chess recognizes this and becomes part of their Mac OS X experience. You can effortlessly send turns back and forth via Apple's Mail.app, invite your iChat AV buddy to a match from within the game itself or just scan your local Rendevous network-- it's never been this easy. And once the game starts, tight integration into Apple's Address Book and your iTunes playlists is just what you'd hope to find, and do.

Adventures on Pirate Isle Released November 2003 Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, Windows 98/2000/NT/XP uDevGame 2003 Entry Available free of charge Official product page

On July 15, 1597 the frigate Sun Burst was wrecked upon the shoals of Pirate Isle. The only surviving crew member was a furry cheeked sailor named Slash. The adventure begins when Slash regains consciousness among the debris of his former vessel, determined to uncover the secrets of the island, its treasure, and to discover a means of returning home. Slash is a sugar glider from the distant land of Australia. Roughly the size of a small squirrel, sugar gliders have a membranous flap of skin connecting their forepaw to their hind feet. Sugar gliders can use this layer of skin in order to glide up to 150 feet through the air, jumping from tree to tree to escape the jaws of their predators. Our hero is a sea-worthy buccaneer who wears his trusty sabre always at his side. He was a notable sailor aboard his ship, being able to leap from mast to mast seemingly without effort. During his future adventures on Pirate Isle, Slash will be able to run, jump, climb, and glide his way to and past obstacles of all kinds. When strategic maneuvers are not an option, Slash can whip out his sabre to deal death to the most fearsome of foes. Sugar gliders love fresh fruit, so finding such items along the way can rejuvenate or even grant temporary powers to our stalwart marsupial. Using his unique talents, his uncanny wit, and his deft swordsmanship Slash must travel deeper and deeper into Pirate Isle, avoiding natural predators such as sea gulls, giant crabs, and hunting cats.
