Weekend Fun Veck Special Edition
I forgot the weekend fun thread last Friday and promised myself that this would never happen again. Today I’m going to present a great arcade shooter called Veck Special Edition which looks and plays like a mix of many of the classic aracade games including Asteroids, Robotron 2084 and Smash Tv. This version is packed with 15 levels each lasting one minute. Every minute your spacecraft gets an weapon upgrade that makes it more powerful while at the same time more powerful enemies emerge that want to destroy you.

You are probably staring at the topic and wonder what Gftw means. I decided to create a new series of articles that appear every friday, the Game For The Weekend Series. I will write about a cool free game on every Friday because I think that is the best time to try something new.

The game can be run on every Windows system starting with Win98 and can only be downloaded using a torrent they offer on their website. Don’t worry, it is only about 15 megabytes.

I know that a top 10 is probably not enough because there are many great remakes out there but I had to limit my post somehow, therefor, it is only a top 10.
