- P. S. Neeley Shareware
- Astride a silicon time machine and caught in a vortex of imagination, history, and science, I ride the ocean of time. Sometimes in the Future, rarely in the Present, but most often in the Past, I hug the shore at times and describe visions of people yet to be born, or long dead. How did they live? What brought them joy? What did they think? All this from the magic of Windows shareware games. This home page introduces my games and points you to Web sites from which you can download them.
