No need to take a closer look at this one in my eyes. I tried before to get permission for two games of GameTop (Fish Tales, The Great Mahjong) and they didn't even answer the mails I wrote...
There were also rumours about Adware and Spyware coming along with the download at some point in the past. But I think that they changed it, as I double-checked the download files from their site and couldn't find anything.

JELLO CAR
Runs ok, except...I dont see a car. I see background, I hear music, I dont experience crashes. Car and road are absent.

Edited first post. Now you can find each game not submitted in freeware forum there. To ghs: if problem will be resolved and game submitted, please erase the name.

ORBIT HOPPER
Orbit-Hopper is an up-to-date Skyroads-clone featuring OpenGL 3D graphics, enemies, new floors, highscores, new levels and much more. A level editor is included.
Thanks to SDL & OpenGL this project runs both on Windows and Linux. Source-Code is available, so you might even be able to get it to run on MacOS.

Refuses to work. Black screen + immediate quit to windows.

Maybe this might help (but as it is from the same blog, the link you posted goes to, probably not):
"The Japanese language pack has to be installed to play, and the game will only run on displays configured with 16-bit color quality instead of the standard 32-bit. When starting Vampire Blaze, select the second option in the dialogue box for windowed mode."

And Ive changed display and installed the pack of course.
However, Spybot has found one potentially dangerous (for him) file during this installation and requested to delete it. Dont know if it could have affected installation process, but I know that I still dont see East Asian letters.

Sushi! Waxy's Sushi Party
Looks nice and game concept seems to be similar to "Ore No Ryomi". But I can't play it. I can start it and use the menu (without music or sounds), but when I try to start a game I just get the background graphics and the game hangs up.

PO RACER
Resembles racing games for old handheld consoles thus I wanted to try it for nostalgic reasons. Cant set up java console properly, because I'm too stupid.

My "troublesome" list got too big to devote separate post for each game, so I'll just put them all with links and description of problems (if I remember them). Sorry.
Strangeways by DigiPen - most likely lack of proper hardware
Battle Beans by DigiPen - most likely lack of proper hardware
Tag by DigiPen - most likely lack of proper hardware
Glitch by DigiPen - most likely lack of proper hardware
Shadow of the Bossus - crashes after start
Red Situation - crashes after start
Classic Night - crashes after start
Large-Scale Vehicular Stealing - doesnt run at all
Laser Bunny - >>Traceback (most recent call last): File "game.py", line 421, in <module> File "game.py", line 68, in __init__ d3d.Error: Failed to create a device<<

Does anything from in here ever get submitted? Maybe we should try and submit these games instead, and simply fail them if noone can play them? Just a thought....
