Online Games

If you're like me and you enjoy games (see my previous post) then you'll enjoy the online games found at the following sites.

Orisinal has a great selection of original games with beautiful graphics. (You'll spend a lot of time here.)
• Play Home Movies Look Alive and laugh at the commentary.
• Here's a cube game you ought to remember well.
Snowcraft is fun for the holidays or anytime you miss the snow.
• A site with a really good selection of thinking games is Maze Works. (I really like Triplets and Fiver.)
• At Yeti Sports you can compete in a different kind of Olympics. Navigate to the Play Online section and start smacking the penguin. (Thanks to Andy for first showing me this one.)
• Remember Zork? For a real throw-back try your hand at text-based games like that and others found at iFiction.
Crimson Room is similar in problem solving design to text-based games except that it's a visual puzzle. (I finished this one and am now trying to figure out Viridian Room.)
• For fans of Angry Kid cartoons there's a game called Choir Boy that's similar to the electronic Simon game.
• Railroad Tycoon 3 offers a simple yet addictive game on its site. (Choo choo!)
• Of course Zone.com by MSN has a ton of games to play. Some of my faves are Scrabble Rack Attack, Mummy Maze, and Bespelled.

Are there any good ones out there that you know about? If so, then post them in the comments section.
