Nokia Hero by Novice Arts
Ever wanted to jam out on a Nokia phone? Now you can! Nokia Hero is a fun and challenging musical rhythm game for Nokia Jam 6, inspired by Guitar Hero and Rockband. Using your melody keys, you can create actual musical riffs, as the keys take on one of 14 musical scales embedded in the game!
During musical play, you have the melody keys. These are present anytime you are in the following modes: Play Song, Free Play, and Record. The melody keys are the number keys from 1 to 8 on the top row of your keyboard. That's enough to hold an octave of a musical scale, and more than enough for epic jam sessions!
A hypertext folktale on a sleepless night. Follow a lonely young vampire as she hunts for life in a city of symbols.

flamaraderie by bluilisht, Lazcht, Spiralhalo
Flames are kind of rad, right? Flame is cool, flame is hot, flame is glorious. We love flame, you love flame, everybody loves flame. Come and sit by the fire, praise the Lord in spirit and truth, kindle our faith, brighten our hope, and deepen our love.
Although resource is scarce, wood supply is limited, and food is running out. But together we will always have willing flesh to burn. After all, meat is tastier when it's consensual. And sometimes, meat is flammable..
