Online Flash Games
Here are flash games divided into sections:
- puzzle games that require thinking,
- escape-type point and click games that are primarily not time based, and
- action games that incoroporate an element of time.
Within each section they are ordered in increasing complexity.
Online Java Games
- Alchemy is a PopCap puzzle game where one transmutes the board to gold with magic Runes. Hours of increasing difficulty.
[My high score is 7545, cleared 4 boards. Wizard 2nd class.]
- Every Video Game has a large collection of emulated games of old. *Warning*: Too many games to waste time on.

Cross Platform Downloadable Games
- Portable Puzzle Collection, by Simon Tatham, the author of PuTTY, is a collection of 18+ GUI puzzles. All puzzles are generated randomly so as to provide replay value. In fact, if you encounter a puzzle configuration twice AND remember that you've played it without resorting to additional aid (e.g. writing them down), I congratulate your good memory.
- sokoban.vim is a script for vim. This is how I got used to the hjkl cursor movement keys.
- Escape is a Chip's Challenge type tile-based escape game. It does not require fast reflexes and have hundreds of levels. Very well made.
- netPanzer is an online multiplayer tactical warfare game designed for fast action combat. One can also play against robots.
- Globulation 2 is a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game, which minimizes micro-management by employing a system of macro management. This actually reflects real life more.
- Crack Attack is a free OpenGL game for Linux and Windows based on the Super Nintendo classic Tetris Attack.
- Minesweeper 3D is a three-dimensional minesweeper game.
Windows/DOS Downloadable Games
- Little Fighter 2 is a Windows multi-character fighting game. Up to eight players can play at once. Very unique.
- PuzzPower is a fun 30 level puzzle game. It starts out easy but it gets harder, about an hour or two of play.
- Noirduck's Legacy is a unique sidescroll platform game where the player must control three characters interactively.
- SkyRoads is a fun DOS game that involves flying a skyship. This is the only skyship navigation game that does not make me dizzy. (Read: It does not have panning graphics.)
