Portal The Flash Version
Portal is a very addictive game based upon an extremely simple concept. You’ve got a hand held device that allows you to shoot two holes in something which creates a portal between those two holes that you can then walk through.
Along the way various complications are added, like the necessity to shoot while transiting the portal, or to use gravity to gain velocity and transfer that into momentum in some other direction, using portals.
Chibi
In the first three levels, little red, green, and blue humanoid figures are visible in a cluttered scene. You have to see and click on with your mouse in a limited amount of time.
In the first level I’ve added little yellow arrows to point these figures out so you can know what you are looking for.
Alien Attack - Nick Peplow Productions
There is another game by the same name which has much more realistic three dimensional graphics and is a shooter game with attacking aliens, but there is something to the simplicity and a certain nostalgia to this one that I enjoy.
Particularly, the way they drew the little dish on the bottom of the alien craft reminds me of the first War of the Worlds movie (based upon Orson Wells radio play by the same name), and of coarse Tim Burton had fun with those in Mars Attacks as well.
Your ship being made to resemble the US space shuttle is also not without it’s humor. They can barely get that thing off the ground and landed again without it self-destructing. The idea of going up against alien technology sufficiently advanced to get here from another planet with a bus propelled into space with 2.2 million pounds of high explosive…
Love Hina Dating RPG
The story is based upon the Love Hina anime series. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a fun light hearted series. You’re hired to be the manager of Hina Inn because basically nobody else would do it. The girls all want to kick the crap out of you. Your job is to go to Tokyo U, improve yourself, and make the girls your girlfriends. Good luck.
The Girls
Sexy Girl Connect
| Sexy Girl Connect is a simple game in which the object is to connect the girls using three or fewer straight lines. You are given a limited amount of time to accomplish this for all of the pairs of girls at each level. You get points for time remaining at the end of each level.
Each pair of matching girls connected removes that pair from the screen and gives you fifteen points. If you connect additional pairs within one second, the point value given for that pair increases ten points. For example, if you connect one pair, 15 points, connect another within a second, 25 points, connect another within a second, 35 points, and so on, but if you fail to connect a pair of matching girls within a second, you’re back to 15 points for the pair. |
