Chief Watzon is a Nintendo DS platforming game developed using PAlib in the Spring of 2008 by Jeffrey Gaither (director), Nick Parisi, and Akshay Joshi. In Chief Watzon, you control a player who has a projectile that can only be shot straight up and must use his or her platforming abilities to traverse the level, pick up bonus points, avoid enemies, and defeat bosses.

To play Chief Watzon, you must have either a Nintendo DS emulator or a Nintendo DS flash memory cartridge.

Urban Legends is a 2D top-down RPG set in a primarily industrial and urban environment. The game was developed during the Spring 2008 semester by Jason Mondesier (director / game concept), Jon Faulkner (quest design, playtesting), John Will (level design, art, playtesting), and Dai Yang (NPC design, playtesting). The player takes on the role of a customizable character in the expansive environment, and is presented with a completely open multiplayer online experience. The player can chat with other players, act cooperatively or individually on quests and missions, and improve personal stats through battles with enemies that roam the streets, both human and otherwise. There are a wide variety of locations to explore and NPCs to interact with, as well as unique items and character customizations scattered across the environment.
