This is 3D Spin Ball – the shareware version (not the full game). A mix of pinball and pong and breakout – you control four paddles and the aim is to remove all the balls in the center of the screen. The game is published by Ultisoft and authored by Alex Liebert, released in 1997. The credits are from the help document included:

Ok, this is the first of 300! Yes 300! Arcade games. Most shareware. Lovely lovely shareware! Be prepared to witness the most excruciatingly bizarre, awful and cool home-brewed arcade games pre-2003!
To start off we have an ever exciting variation of TENNIS! Yeh I’m pumped, like you. Tennis Anyone, not dated but I’m guessing was released around somewhere between 1994 and 1998. Authored by “Pete & Al”, the game has been constructed using Klick & Play – a game-builder application made by Maxis (the guys behind the million dollar Sims franchise). Anyway the game is just like a simple game of pong – with lovely graphics from paint, its a bit fast/sensitive – but playable. This game does not work on Windows Vista up, I have tried – it just sits dead.

This is a ‘bundle’ installation from Microsoft but branded by SoldOut software, it offers the following:
Of course, all of these applications are now terribly out-of-date, but they all still work. When installing it on Windows 2000 it did scream at me – talking about ‘unindentfiable’ file types or something like that, and that I needed to reinstall Service Pack 4 – not sure what that was about, but still seems a-ok!

I found this on an old CD (2001) that was included in one of my Cisco work books. Its a bit outdated now (being a decade old as of writing this) – so may not be overly useful, but will still teach you alot about the basic fundamentals of networking. The software is actually – ExamGear Flash Card Companion 1.5; just this is the Cisco networking flavour! Doesnt appear to need any serials etc.!

Apple’s Quicktime is a common software application to most computer users – and most definitely Mac users. QuickTime is the equivalent to Media Player (Microsoft) – and pretty much does all the same. This downloadable version is called version 5 during installation; and allows you to install many different ‘components’ (Although I don’t know what these all do). A quick look at the program directory tells me this version comes with QuickTime Player, QuickTime PictureViewer, QuickTime System Info and plug-ins for Internet Explorer & Netscape.
