Directx version 9c 2006 is available as a separate download. This is exactly the same as the files in the Graphics directory and only needs to be downloaded if the files are corrupted in some way.

The Origin of the Species games below don't have a style available as the book is not quite big enough to reliably generate games. I've produces these games after quite a while of processing on a quad core processor. A healthy word count above 6000 or so is needed to reliably produce games.

To download, right click on the file name and choose Save Target As...
