That's what I used to like so much about www.calc.org. It used to include screenshots. And now if this website has shots, that'd be excellent.

Many programs, not games, but programs, are quite good at their intended purpose but for obvious reasons are almost never (possibly never will be) featured. And, to the best of my knowledge, Ztetris has not ever been featured, despite it being one of the most popular and best games out there. Tetris has been put on just about every programmable device with a decent display. I have it on NES (tetris & new tetris), n64 (tetrisphere), TI-83 (ztetris), TI-85 (ztetris), TI-86 (ztetris), TI-89 (tetris), and computer (tetris). I'm surprised there aren't watches with it on it by now...Maybe someday....

I have found that many programs have great screen shots, but the program turns out to be a waste of time.

I like looking at the screenshots. They help me decide whether or not to download. Also, GOOD program descriptions help alot too. Not something like: "Pong v3.4" Does that tell me anything? no. just that it's pong. Like, are there any special features? That's where reviews come in handy, but not all games have reviews.. ok, enough of my blabering. I'm mad because my computer store closed at 1 and i got there at 2:30. i wanted to buy an expasion slot fan. :-(

Screenshots are good, but they don't need to be of the title screen or some crap like that... there should be several shots from each program so that you don't just have one awesome shot of the only cool part of a sucky ass game, or a suck screenshot from the only bad part of a kick ass game.
