First things first, I'll clear up the vitals that all of these games share:
Homepage : http://www.yomogi.sakura.ne.jp/~si/Soli ... ex_e.shtml
Writes settings to : Application folder
How to extract : Extract the zip file to folder of your choice, then run the corresponding .exe or .bat - each batch file may launch the game with different options (varied color scheme or windowed mode).
License : Freeware
System Requirements : Win98, 2k, XP and presumably DirectX7
(If anyone wants to check the utilities on this page for portability, they're more than welcome to, but I'm just focusing on the games right now.)

Ok, those are all out of the way, so here's each game's separate description:
Speed Shooter
--------
Synopsis : A unique cross between a card game and an arcade game. Speed Shooter has 4 endless stocks of cards which are controlled by Z,X,C,V - each key throws a card on to the playing field. If the space on the playing field contains a card that is either directly above or below the card's value, it is destroyed and can possibly form chain reactions with the cards around it. A very fun game!

Invisible Vision
---------
Synopsis : Undersea submarine combat where sound is your greatest ally and your biggest foe. The wireframe ocean around you ripples with the sound of engines and torpedoes for beautiful effects and vital information about your battlefield. Complete with bosses, different choices of music and color schemes, and bonuses for exemplary combat achievements. (Z key fires torpedoes)

Quantized Blaze
---------

I have posted Invisible Vision and Nomltest FS to the database, and included links to the correct Vector mirrors (hopefully) so that no hunting around on a japanese mirror is necessary. I'd appreciate if anyone could verify the download links on the two games - they will not bring you to a page that automatically starts the download. If the downloads do not automatically start, the first link in the grey box should start the download for you. Hopefully this will not be necessary, but if it is, please report it here.
