Games GuruMy daughter installed that flash game called Zwinky (or somethiong like that), where you can dress up an anime doll with cloths and accessories. The trouble was she also allowed my browser to get hijacked plus loads of other unpleasant things. I managed to clean up the mess after scouring the registry but she was a little upset becasue it had been installed while one of her friends was around and they had been really enjoying dressing the doll up. anyway, I found a safer alternative. Not as many accessories, but enought combinations to keep my daughter happy. The game is called midori (hi midori, I was sirprised when I found this, lol)
anyway, here it is:

Gaming AcolyteIf you dig free-to-play Web-based games accessed via the Facebook platform (as well as a few of the other "social media" sites), http://www.zynga.com/games/ has a selection of thematic games that boast a fair degree of interactivity. I haven't tried any of the titles as yet, but several of my friends have been bitten by the bug for some time now. I know this because it's possible to game-on with your real-world buddies by sending them an online invite.

Found a LOL-game last night:
"Flash port of an ancient, somewhat immature Mac game that I wrote in '96. You are Bill, a voracious little demon out to earn the respect of your colleagues by descending through the Nine Circles of Hell and getting the Devil's autograph."

MemberHi all, two excellent game sites with 100% free online games are:
1. Boxer Jam.
Out of Order is a particularly fun and interesting Boxer Jam word-association, fill-in-the-blank game that is played against the clock.
2. Pogo.
Flip Words is a fun Pogo online word game which is also played against the clock.
Boxer Jam allows online game-playing without having to sign up for a user account.
Pogo, however, does require user-account sign-up (which is 100% free).
Enjoy the games,

No game today? Don't panic!
Here are 3 versions of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.If you aren't familiar with the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy you will likely be very confused. If you are familiar with the HHGG, you will also be very confused - while the game starts similarly to the book, it soon diverges. In summary, you play the part of Arthur Dent a rather ordinary and ineffectual Earth being with a liking for tea. The game starts when the local council makes a spirited attempt to demolish your house to make way for a bypass. While you're trying to cope with that, your friend Ford Prefect drops past to tell you that your efforts are pointless, as the Earth itself is about to be demolished to make way for a Hyperspace bypass. The rest is up to you!
It's a text game, not the usual browser game.
My score is 0 of possible 400, in 19 turns. Well I think I have to exercise some rounds.1. the Java version:
Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
To come to the game you have to copy the serial into the "GO-field" nearly on the bottom of the page:
To avoid the dissapointment of a pointless quarter-megabyte download (and to prevent our poor server from being hammered by thousands of fruitless fetches) we moved the game to its own page. So, if you're still keen to see the original version in all its 1984 retro-glory, simply type the serial number from the opening screen into the field below.

As an "Alien" I don't understand everything and don't know most of the answers, however, the site makes me LOL. Especially the loading screen with the rolling and sometimes burning eyes.

Games GuruOne of my sons friends visits several times a week and qlways plays flash games because his parents wont buy any games for him. One caught my eye last week and I thought I'd post it here, but Tizz already posted the game (see above). The game is called Crush the Castle. You use one of those medieval sling shots (I can't remember the name of the machine , it begins with a t - treb something or other, lol.). Anyway the idea is to sling stones at various castles that are quite easy to topple initially, but as you progress get harder and harder. Every few levels your ammo is upgraded (bigger stones and the ability to throw more than one stone). The castles are made on thelines of those wooden blocks you buy for the kids when they are toddlers. i've spent many a good hour building towers for my kids. The graphics are nice and the game is quite addictive. I couldn't stop playing it for well over an hour, which, apart from Samorost, is a record for me as I tend to avoid flash games; ([i]I don't like playing in a window for some reason). I found a couple of sites where you can download this game, but it downloads as a SWF file and I've not figured out how to run the game.

Here is a browser game that I ran across, it's called Growbox. You collect gold coins while navigating around objects, all the while growing with each coin collected. Challenging. :)

Games GuruThanks G@rgoyle; i knew there must be a way. I kept trying to find a shortcut to my Adobe flash player as i thought that that would do it, but couldn't find a link to it on any of my computers. I'm just about to try it after downloading both the programs you suggested. :). I'll probably post the game i mentioned as one of the free games for the weekdays a sit was quite entertaining. :)

MemberI must say, recently, I have been addicted to the Protector series (on Kongregate if you want to take a look, but beware, it will turn into more than just a look), but the one I wanted to post was one of those sand games. I have tried different sand games, where the different types of sand (sand, water, fire, oil, and so forth), but this one is definitely my favorite, due to the fact that there is so many types of stuff (aka...so many things to combine!) And some of the items/sands are genius.

Games GuruTitanium Chef:
Click HERE to go to the Titanium Chef home page.
Titanium Chef is an educational game that's funny, beautifully made and great fun even if you're not really all that keen on learning about food groups.
It's supposedly one of the deepest Role Playing Games ever created in Flash™, Titanium Chef features spectacular visuals that blend innovative, real-time 3D graphics with lush environments. In this original point-and-click adventure, players manage inventory items, discover new locations, and interact with fun characters. And the sound...! You'll just have to check it out for yourself.[/quote]
Intro:
A series of seemingly unrelated events leaves you, a lowly Bot, embroiled at the centre of a diabolical plot to destroy the galaxy. Visit new worlds, collect items, and meet aliens from all walks of life as you compete to become the galaxy's greatest ChefBot.
Story:
Titanium Chef is set in a distant galaxy in 3015, eight years after an uprising led by the super-evil bad-guy overlord Rogulus (to quote his full title) was foiled by an alliance of good guys. With the threat of Rogulus out of the way, life in the galaxy has become a lot safer and possibly even a bit boring, which might help explain people's sudden enthusiasm for cooking competitions which are held in huge stadiums and have become more popular than sports. Everyone aspires to be a chef, including our hero, a little robot who's stuck in a dead-end job on the dullest planet in the entire galaxy. One day he gets his chance to upgrade to chef-bot status, so he eagerly sets about on his mission to travel to other planets, meet bizarre-looking creatures (and feed them all) and ultimately win the most prestigious cooking tournament of all. On his way, however, our bot hero soon discovers that Rogulus isn't *quite* as defeated as we thought he was, so that now he has to save the day as well as feed people - but we all know which of the two is going to be more difficult, right?
Game play:
In terms of gameplay, Titanium Chef is essentially a mix between an adventure game and a puzzle game. Although you'll spend a lot of time exploring planets and talking to various aliens, you advance in the game through devising so-called "meal plans" for any hungry people you might come across on your way, which work like little puzzle games. The key to drawing up successful meal plans lies in keeping an eye how many units of each food group individual meals contain and matching that to a person's recommended daily intake according to their age and gender. Meal plans get trickier as you progress, but my one point of criticism here is that once you've got the hang of them, they become a bit repetitive. Some more variation in the meal plan tasks would have been nice.
Learning new meals is done through playing another little puzzle game - provided you've managed to find all the food cards necessary for those meals, that is. Food cards are hidden all over the place (mostly, but not exclusively, in crates) and tell you a bit more about individual ingredients. A lot of them are not purely informative but also quite funny, which is a nice little extra. Speaking of extras: if you *are* interested in the cooking aspect of the game, the website also contains recipes for all the meals featuring in the game - except for the water and air "meal", as you'll probably already know how to make that...
Graphics:
The graphics are lovely and one of the things which make Titanium Chef so entertaining: they're very clean and colourful, and each planet has its own characteristic look and colour scheme. Characters are well animated and the makers of the game have taken great care to come up with several distinct types of aliens (with very few exceptions, no two aliens of the same type look truly alike).
Sounds and Music:
Music isn't a very prominent part of the game, but it generally suits the mood and the sound effects do the job. The sound can be switched off, which can be handy if you have to revisit a certain location repeatedly.
Summary:
Titanium Chef is a quirky adventure / puzzle game with beautiful graphics. I'd highly recommend it even if you're not normally a fan of educational games.
Although Titanium Chef is played via your browser, it's surprisingly epic for a flash game, and the makers have announced more updates for this year which will make it bigger still. But you're already likely to spend several hours exploring the different planets on the search for clues, food cards and hungry people, even if you already know where to go and who to talk to. As I've mentioned above, some of the puzzle tasks can get a little repetitive, but overall I still thoroughly enjoyed myself playing the game. Nor did I mind that the game was originally aimed at schoolchildren (it has won an award for this, actually) and consequently didn't teach me anything radically new about healthy eating - not that I really set out wanting to be taught that. The educational message is certainly there, but in a way which is fun and not too preachy, and it's not so obtrusive that it prevents you from enjoying the game. In fact, if all educational games were like this one, people wouldn't be shying away from them so much. So do give it a try, it's worth it.
