AArcade's niche is to provide uninhibited Windows functionality, but with a 3D world of shortcuts instead of a 2D wallpaper. This includes performance & compatibility equal to what users experience natively on Windows. Have you ever spent long hours in a video game, and didn't want to quit when it came time to do homework? AArcade turns your useless desktop wallpaper into a game world. You use your PC like normal, but AArcade is now your wallpaper. Launch your shortcuts from AArcade, or just launch them from Windows like normal. AArcade does not get in the way. There is a hidden world between worlds. A world that is normally only seen through lists, links, and menus. A world that we've known as other worlds have come and gone. A world that exists between everything we do on our computers. THAT is the world of Anarchy Arcade.

Wow way to go and spam your mod on every source engine game.

And whats the point of this anyway? I mean I would much rather have shortcuts on my desktop to my important folders which are organized then have to load up a game to go find what it is Im looking for.

It's the most original concept I'm sure many of us have seen for ages, and shortcuts are just so uneventful.

Keeping your shortcuts and folders organized makes them easier to add to SM Arcade.
