Here's another short game that I've posted as part of the free games projects fifth anniversary. I initially posted several games a month ago, but the house move meant I couldn't finish what I'd started. We are only just starting to get straight, and I've now started work on updating the Free games synopsis, which was created by Gargoyle about 4.5 years ago. It's still way out of date as Gargoyle stopped updating it in week 100 after a surgical operation.
There's probably around a thousand or more games to add to the synopsis, so it's going to take me quite some time. I have started updating it several times, but each time I've initially saved the coded games on a separate document then lost them due to various reasons such as having to reformat my disc's, hard drive failure, or just plain laziness; (it's quicker to create a list of about 40 or so games in alphabetical order then add them to the synopsis en-mass instead of adding them singly) :)
I'm going to try and do it in stages, with maybe 20 or so games added each day, though I doubt I'll do it every day - more like a few times each week; at least in the near term as we are still in the middle of moving in, with most of our possessions boxed and virtually all of the house still to decorate.
The synopsis is a useful way of finding the genre of game that may interest you as each game is labelled with a genre type and is linked to the actual forum post. One of the guys who used to help was going to create a second list that categorizes each genre into another list, making it easier to find the type of game you like; for example I love space shoot em ups (shmups), breakouts and decent platformers. It would be useful to place them all together to save time searching. :)
