The Cabbage Patch

It’s just like the good ol’ days. Only the graphics are worse.

Hello World.

If I am feeling nostalgic for video-games of old, there are certain titles my mind instantly turns to. One of them is Doom. It’s not often, however, that I can actually be bothered to ferret out my old discs and attempt to actually play the game. That’s why I’m very pleased to have found Painnation – a Flash-animated, point-and-click version of Doom.

Being that this is basically a joke, the game itself is quite short. It does, however, satisfy my games-of-yore craving.

Because being able to swing a small robot across a sea of spikes using only a single string is a valuable skill.

Hello World.

Time for a game!

Pendulumeca is a strange game in which you must swing pendulum-style across the screen avoiding the spikes at the bottom.

Point at the grey blocks at the top and click to swing. Un-click to let go. Repeat.

The grey areas you can grab onto get smaller and further apart as you progress, thus making this game quite challenging.

Dash Dragon, dash!

Hello World.

Dragon Dash

Today's game offering is Dragon Dash, a different take on the classic Helicopter Game of old.

UPDATE: By the way, in the spirit of healthy competition, my high score so far is 17628 metres. Beat that, why don't cha?

Hello World.

I haven't posted in a while, and I don't have a good reason. I just didn't feel like it.

So, to shut up all the "New post" comments, here's a game.

Shoot stuff right from your browser!

Hello World.

I thought it was about time for another game for you all, so today I bring you Phosphor!

Phosphor

It is basically a full 3D first-person shooter, similar to Quake or Unreal, but played completely in your web-browser. No need to download or install anything, simply load the page and play.

Like Pokemon. Only better. And underwater.

Hello World.

Flow

Looking back through my Games Archive, I realised it’s been a while since I have posted a game up here. Today, I shall rectify that.

Flow is a very unusual game. You play as a strange snake-like creature, whose goal is to eat every other creature around, and consequently evolve into a bigger and better snake-like creature.

I advise you read the instructions first, because it can be a little confusing, but overall Flow is rather addictive and very fun.

Just because it’s Uber.

Hello World.

Uber Breakout

Everyone loves Breakout. It’s that classic game with the bricks that must be destroyed with the ball. If you don’t know what I’m on about, here is an example. In fact, Breakout is such a good game that it could be a feature all on it’s own.

But Breakout pales in comparison to UBER BREAKOUT! What’s the difference, you ask? Well for starters, Uber Breakout is quite obviously Uber. ‘Nuff said.

“Hey ho! Pretty pretty bang bang, pretty pretty bang bang, we love you!”

Hello World.

Pretty Pretty Bang Bang

What would the world be like if terrorists were actually animated dots?  Something like this, I would guess.

Very strange, but generally quite fun game.

Escape to Windows

Hello World.

Mouse 1.0

Mouse 1.0 – Escape to Windows is an incredibly simple maze game, but it’s very fun nonetheless.

Drive Fast and Shoot Lots

Hello World.

Torus Trooper

Do you like speeds of over 7500 km/h? Do you like explosions? Do you like attacking people who get in your way? In other words, are you male?

If so, you’ll love Torus Trooper. It’s a game in which all of the afore-mentioned things are included in abundance.

No, the visuals aren’t stunning. Yes, the music is a bit loud and annoying. Yes, it can be a little repetitive. But crank it up to “extreme” mode (where I have reached nearly 8000 km/h) and this is one of the most enjoyable games around for its price (which happens to be exactly $0).

I will warn though, this is not a game you can play in the browser, this is a download/unzip thing, which may or may not affect some readers. It’s only just over 6mb though, so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem, even for those with archaic connections.
