Welcome and greetings on this bright,cold, but stil sunny morning. As we plunge into autumn, ---- or fall as Yankies would call it (highly appropriate for plungings), we've got a fresh new harvest of games and updates streight from the metaphorical vine.

First off is the new game Greenies from well known contributor to the world of lughole insertable fun Amineel, aka quentin. Back in the 90's, people may remember the craze for a game called lemmings in which you attempted to save a bunch of tiny, suicidally bent creatures from destroying themselves. This involved getting them to build bridges across pits to stop them falling to their doom, tunnel through rocks, or give them parasols to float down gaps.

Though the identity of the mini maniacs has been changed to small critters from the rainforest instead of rodents, and the interface is audio, the principle is stil the same. Meet the greenies!

The game comes with five stages and a level editer so you can make your own stages. Thus far it's only an early version, and for instance only works with Jaws, but support for system access, sapi, nvda and window eyes is being added soon.

You can Download it here
