The Ur-Quan Masters -- an intragalactic adventure game
The Ur-Quan Masters is the public release of the legendary Star Control 2 from 1992. Starcon2 was a revolutionary adventure game which featured role-playing elements and 2D arcade-style space combat in the grand tradition of Space War. The Ur-Quan Masters brings together the best features of the PC and 3DO versions and adds a fast-paced Super Melee mode.
You assume control of a single vessel built with an advanced alien "Precursors" factory-planet and return to Earth, only to find it enslaved. In your epic quest to overthrow the Ur-Quan overlords, you must travel to remote star systems, gather resources, outfit your flagship, recruit alien allies, battle diverse foes, and discover and disrupt an enigmatic enemy tradition in time to prevent the annihilation of the entire human race!
This package includes the application and will install the required game content. You may also install the optional uqm-3do-data package (130 MB) to add the music and dialogue voice-overs from the 3DO release of Star Control 2.
Experience one of the greatest space games ever made!

highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo
Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code. Since its original conception, Conky has changed a fair bit from its predecessor. Conky can display just about anything, either on your root desktop or in its own window. Conky has many built-in objects, as well as the ability to execute programs and scripts, then display the output from stdout. Maemo5: The initial port for maemo5 is intended to be run as a standalone app and not yet as a desktop widget. The default config has been reworked for suitability for the N900 platform. The launcher checks for the file /home/user/MyDocs/conky.conf and will run with that if it is present.

Turn your device upside down to hear the sound of an animal...

This implementation has several built-in sounds of animals and users can add their own by uploading them on the device in a directory called /home/user/MyDocs/MooBox (i.e. a MooBox directory on the root of your device if you use the file manager). The picture and the sound must have the same name and have the .jpg and . mp3 extensions respectively. Pictures are under Creative Commons and taken from http://animalphotos.info/.
