Interested people, please see http://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.com/grid/wars.htm

Great link to a g'drillion online games (ok, only 20). http://www.zanorg.com/prodperso/jeuxchiants/doublejeu.htm and http://www.vivalagames.com/play/cursorthief/ two of my faves, both v simple and quick and "just one more go" type addictive.

You need never work again...

Ah, cheers. Under hybrid setup your keyboard controls movement and the mouse controls shooting direction, a la Quake, etc.

Grid wars = too hectic for me.

I never survive longer than about ten minutes, which I see as an advantage. It's a proper game, but you only need ten minutes for it.

It would be nice to get past a log for once grrrr

101 free games (with hardly any comments on any of them. there's moaning on a.n.other forum that the list is an amalgam of other lists which were better but...)

gimme new ones

About a month ago, I used the Stumble Upon "online games" channel so often that I actually got a message telling me that I had viewed every single recommended Stumble link on the topic, and to chill out for a while. I haven't played a free online game since. Thanks for fucking up my self-esteem, Stumble Upon.

Can't pimp it enough people.

bloxorz roxorz! Something surprisingly counter-intuitive about it. (Or, I'm dense.)

No one seems to have mentioned these old school platform games yet:

La Mulana

This might be a better place to get La Mulana

No pop ups.

desktop tower defense!

Damn, I forgot all about Cave Story! I can really, really recommend that one. That one was obviously a labor of love for whoever developed it. It also has replay value because depending on the way you proceed, you can get different weapons and endings. A+ would play again etc.

Knytt Stories looks intriguing, I may check that out later today.

It took forever and never seemed to go anywhere. I stopped playing.

The original Knytt is even more low-key than most of the Knytt Stories levels. I'd agree that they don't really 'go anywhere' -- the appeal is mostly in exploring the weird mysterious world and seeing the tiny little sprite animals hop around, which is compelling enough for me but I can see how it could seem boring.

Just going to give it a try.

Kaipuu has a memory leak. (and Seiklus is better)

I couldn't get Kaipuu to work.

God help me, I just discovered Peggle.
Crack.

I really like Peggle and I've considered thought about buying the full version, but I bet it isn't much better than the free one.

thought about

But more levels! MORE LEVELS

o hi dere, its a download, but how does online kart racing grab you http://kart.nexon.net/Download/Client.aspx

I played KongKongSEA for a long time. It is a jump racing game with attack items and tiles on the ground that give you boost and direction changes.

as for rpgs I found:
The Spirit Engine
Triglaw -only works in certain browsers
flash rpgs: Sinjid Shadow of the Warrior, Swords and Sandals 2 (need full version to save), Bleach Training 2

Everyone should play the Knytt Stories level "Don't Eat the Mushroom"

Question:

Is the music for this game the worst music of all time?

HINT: Wait until the programmer's 15 year old girlfriend starts singing before you make your final decision.

I ate the cactus. Oops.

so dumb lol

i learned a valuable kitten lesson

too irresistable not to type "eat cactus"

it wouldn't let me pee on the cactus, knock it over or hiss at it, so I just had to eat it instead

had to

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who tried peeing on the cactus.

i won the game

(i tried a few things and then eventually closed the window before eating it)

both ate and learned

i won on the first command. the equivalent command loses the game in "don't shit your pants".

http://jhollands.co.uk/spaceplan/

sounds and animation, HOW DARE THEY

I hate you for this

Damnit. Sucked in again...

I opened it up, clicked a few times, felt my pupils begin to dilate and then x'd out of the tab so hard I almost jammed my finger. Not today.

If it helps, its very short.

Aw, doesn't stay on when you close the window. Disappoint.

xp good to know actually

stayed ~4 minutes late at work just to play this before succeeding in closing tab

Thanks to this I learned about http://www.kingedward.co.uk/king_edward_potato_baker
Which to be quite honest is kind of amazing and whomever wrote the copy for their website should get a hug.

Spaceplan is cute! And it's staying on for me when I change tabs at least.

I mean this whole genre is basically dumb and none will ever catch me like that initial rush of Candy Box a few years (!) back, but I liked this one's "voice" if you will.

Does anyone know of a Tablet version of a game similar to Captain Forever?

http://monsterbreeder.com/

hilarious! and i feel guilty for sinking time into it

That's my day wiped out

sorry for being a vector

ok. i have created a dog treat monster and two others. 0.3% of breeds discovered.

i am closing the tab. i am not going to visit ever again. this stops here.

I just had Jason Voorhees and a skeleton mating, and it became... Jason Bonehees. This obviously is the best game ever.

i should at least buy some aquatic gear so i can capture that shark really quick

I got to 1.8% on the breeds, definitely need to stop

*a distant cry of "fooooooorks!!! foooooooooooooorks!" echoes down a corridor beyond sight*

you have made a James Malone!
it's super effective

i don't think it'll suck you up for too long. i played for a bit but after i unlocked the permit and whatever i mean how many combinations of monsters do you really feel like you need to find. esp once you've found them all and searched all the locations. but if there is a /true/ late game plz inform.

11.2%. Someone beat that so I can feel less bad

7.8% sorry

if you breed without a license do the cops go after you?

you can get busted by one of your customers but i think if you ask each of them if they're a cop you can avoid that.

i got busted. lost all my monsters which was good cuz i quit

Made it to 9.8% but I have the biggest truck and have seem to have explored everywhere so not sure I need to go on. But it swallowed up my workday very effectively.

Of course, XENOMORPH + JASON VOORHEES = JASON X.

I bred Freddy Kreuger with one I can't remember and got Chad Kroeger.
Blob + Zombie gives Blob Zombie.

It was Freddy Krueger + Chucky

THE DEVIL + HANNIBAL LECTER = DAMNABLE LECTER

aw damn, did anyone do sasquatch + michael myers yet (it's an abomichael snowmyers)

you'd think Shrek would combine well due to Neil C's Smash Mouth/Shrek memes, but it just adds "shrek" to the start or end of everything.

neil shreked me.

Family is a neat little investigate em up (kind of like a mix of Hypnospace Outlaw and Obra Dinn) where you have to figure out who the members of a bunch of fictitious British indie bands from 1985-1995 by listening to their songs and reading articles about them. The details are all really good and the fake songs aren't half bad (and all seem to match up with real world equivalents). It can be played in browser or downloaded for free and takes about 30 mins to an hour to beat.

Pretty fun, excellent concept and good music. Couldn't figure out the last five.
Love that Kate Bush-inspired "Easy Tiger" cover art.

Ha, yeah, this was fun. Impressive that they recorded stuff for each band. I did find it ran horribly, full of lag, on my computer though.

thanks for this; i put in a good and enjoyable hour right up until the last five... those required lots of trial and error but i finally got it right... there's no clear answer to who Dova Pavlova's drummer is! Turns out it's the replacement drummer for Easy Tiger if anyone's having issues there. That, plus the other member of Klanger, gave me fits but it's a good feeling to turn the key.
