Final Projects

These games were created for University of Michigan, EECS 494: Computer Game Design and Development in Fall 2006 and run on Windows PCs (sorry, no Macs nor Linux). We had several hundred people come and play them at our end of the year showcase. Below are some pictures from the showcase (click to enlarge):

Many of the games require 3D hardware acceleration and will not run on older PCs. Some even require the newest graphics cards. Please be sure that you have installed the latest version DirectX onto your machine before proceeding. Many games won't run without the latest drivers.

 

Furthermore, some of the games require a recent version of Microsoft's .NET framework to be installed on the target machine.

 

You can download .zip files of the games by clicking on the game names below. Once downloaded, you must unzip each program and then within the folder double click on the .bat file. If clicking on the .bat file doesn't work, check the README in the .zip file for instructions on how to run the executable directly.

 

The games are listed in alphabetic order. I recommend trying all of the games.

 

Depending on your system setup, some of the games may not run on your system. Others may crash. Your mileage may vary. These games are provided AS IS; we do not provide customer support for them. Nor do we make any representations concerning their suitability for any particular purpose.
