Classic Games in the Making: Old-School RPGs Are New Again

In the early days of computer RPGs, all it took was you and your PC to enjoy a good story and the thrill of success. Today, you may want to experience new games in the old style--and that's what we're talking about here, to varying degrees of "new" and "old." The games in this unranked list mix old-school gameplay with new styles and ideas. We tossed in one classic for reference. All are single-player and turn-based; no 20-man raids or button-mashing required.

Disk Doctors File ShredderHelps you to shred files and folders from your Windows drive; shreds the deleted data leaving no traces of sensitive critical data. Selling or disposing of a PC creates a serious threat: Hard drives which are part of the PC are usually formatted so they can be used without anyone knowing about previous use. Unfortunately, almost all sensitive data can be recovered using specialized recovery labs or software. Shredding the sensitive data--deleted files and folders--can remove all traces of sensitive data without damaging the drive useless. File Shredder is an advanced file shredding application which includes easy-to-use options to shred files, folders, and unused space from a logical drive. The software presents a hierarchical explorer view to select file and folders to shred. Simply add the files to the "shredding zone" and select the shredding patterns. The software destroys the data beyond recovery. Shredding patterns offered by Disk Doctors File Shredder exceed the standards of DOD US and offers 9 Shredding standards.
