Chimer
This program acts like a carriage clock by 'chiming' out  the hours.
You can select different wave files for each chime: on the hour,
quarter past, half past, and quarter to the hour. The hourly chime
can also be set to play just once or it can play the hours; 2
times for 2 o'clock, 3 times for 3 o'clock and so on.
Some great sounding bell samples are now contained in the zip
file as the site that hosted the sounds has disappeared into the
ether.

KClick
Why spend money on a new keyboard that clicks when you can use
this program to perform the same function?
When KClick is active and you're using the keyboard to edit
documents, each time you press a key you will hear a sound. One
of them sounds like a typewriter, others sound like organizer
beeps. There are five click sounds to suit your preference. This
program certainly makes typing a more fun activity.

KSound
KSound is not unlike KClick, but KSound allows
you to customize the sounds played when certain keys are pressed.
You use the Sounds applet in Windows Control Panel to assign different
sounds to the keys. Keys you can customise include the ALT, CONTROL,
SHIFT keys etc. and you are also able to assign two sounds to
the CAPS LOCK key to indicate the state of the key; on or off.

Wintris
Ok, I know this has been done to death, but I wanted to see if
I could write a good version of Tetris and this is the answer
to that question.
Wintris includes three different types of game (easy, medium
and hard), variable speeds, a high score table, music and sound.
You'll need at least DirectX version 7 which you can download
from Microsoft's web site. You have the option of providing your
own midi music and have it play during the game. A pause function
allows you to take a break from the current game if you need one.

Puzzle
Puzz is the classic mix and match game where you push round tiles until you complete the puzzle.
The puzzle is completed by placing the numbered tiles in numerical order; left to right and top to
bottom. There is a timer on the screen that tells you how long it has been until, you solved the puzzle.
