When Winston needs to unwind from all his blogging and Dear Winston work he likes to play online games. Here are some of his favourites:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
RUN DINO, RUN!
|
|
The Dinos are threatened by extinction. Can you help this little fella outrun the black wall of doom that is closing in from the left? Got to run-run-RUN and don't look back. Pure pixel bliss!
|
These balls are a drag
|
|
Eliminate balls by dragging them across others of the same colour. It takes a lot of coordination, and mousepads are not reccomended for this. A little tip - you can also drag balls diagonally.
|
You have to burn the rope
|
|
This is the silliest little game ever. It's short. It's easy. I'ts rather pointless. But for some reason that works. Just follow the instructions given to you on your way through the level.
|
Skateboard fun
|
|
The gang from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends are out skateboarding. Join in the fun. Choose between different styles, players, boards and slopes. It's fun and all woth it just to see enourmous Eduardo on his tiny board.
|
Classic blox
|
|
A long time ago I posted a link to Blox forever, and it remains one of my favourite games. So when I came across the first Blox game the other day I new I had to put it up here. Bush the blocks around but thing before you push - it takes strategy.
|
Plant a tree and save the world
|
|
The city of Marzipan is in trouble. The pollution has reached unbearable levels and the only way out of it is to plant lots of trees to help clean the air. Help celebrate Earth Day (April 22nd) by assisting Chowder in his frantic race to bring fresh air to Marzipan.
|
War on pesky viruses
|
|
We all hate to be sick, and now you get too fight back against those darn viruses. Take the battle to their home turf by controlling a nano robot designed to go into a patient's body and eliminate the diseases first hand.
|
| South Park Lava Fun |
|
The South Park Volcano is eruption once again, and it's your job as Stan's dad Mr. Marsh to prevent the molten lava from reaching town. Rearrange the canals to lead the burning mass in the right direction.
|
| Pinball mania |
|
Fancy a game of pinball? Mr. Bump presents a beatifully designed flash version of the classic game, with lost of twist, turns and extra features. Colourful fun... with BALLS. Doesn't get much better than that.
|
| Bugs, bugs, everywhere bugs |
|
Go ladybug collecting with Dolly from "Out of Jimmy's Head". Create a bubble around you without touching the bugs, then leap into the air catching the bugs in your buble hen you land, but DON't land on them yourself. Hard, but it can be done.
|
| Gently as she goes |
|
Most of you may remember this game from it's real world version. Trust me it's not easier in the virtual world. Gently, gently guide the silver orb through the maze filled with holes.
|
| "I have dermatitis" |
|
"I have scurvy. I have dandruff. I have athlete's foot. I have a tapeworm. I have mange. I have dermatitis. I have acne. I have enteritis. I have tonsillitis." If that makes no sense to you, you may not appreciate this game featuring everyone's favourite character from Cartoon Network's "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" - Cheese.
|
| Portal-puzzle action |
|
A great little flash version of an old fav: Portal. Maneuver through 40 levels by using you portal-gun to place portals in the right places. It's a real brain-challenge this one.
|
| Puzzling puzzes |
|
Now don't mistake simple for easy. For this one is not easy. It does come with 3 different settings, and you propably don't want to start of on HARD. Fit all the puzzle pieces in the frame. Simple... NOT easy.
|
| BOOM!! |
|
Some game concepts are just so basic that they never get old. Tetris is perhaps the most basic of all. Cubes are falling, rotate them to match up the colours. Simple. But in this clone game there are also exploding bombs among the blocks, which adds a nice dramatic element.
|
| Domino danger |
|
In Domino Knight you have to create a path across the board using the tiles given to you on the left. But be quick - you MUST use the pieces before the reach the bottom of the screen or else... Try to gather as many goodies along the way as possible.
|
| Zapp the little furries |
|
Armed with an electric tazer you have to "zap" the little furballs in the right order after the sequence given you. The minute you fail in doing so you have to start over. Its a real memory challenge.
|
| Chain reaction |
|
Arrrrr, ya bilge rat whut deserves the black spot! Help the pirate get his hands on the treasure by creating chains of identical balls. Simply drag your mouse over them (3 or more required) to eliminate them, thereby moving the key closer to the lock. Now get going, ya landlubber!
|
| Island treasures |
|
This is basically another Bust'a'Move clone where you have to aim and shoot down the balls, but it does have a nice little twist. When you blow up the floating orbs they sometimes release treasure that you have to catch in your cart. Gotta move quick.
|
| Navigation challenge |
|
I never get tired of games with balls... it's the dog in me, I guess. Here's another one. It's all about being quick with the mouse and touching as many of the orange orbs as possible. Not for mousepads users.
|
| Cat-a-pult awaaaayyyyy.... |
|
Awwww... look at the little kitties. You want them to be safe don't ya? Well then you had better aim propably, because you are about to catapult them across the screen, and if your aim is off... SPLAT!
|
| Boring graphics? Who cares! |
|
Yay... another ball game. More circles, spheres, round-thingies is the way to go. Try to make your ball fill more than 75% of the playing field without being hit by the two small orbs bouncing around. Extremely tricky.
|
| Head for the exit |
|
Navigate the cursor across the screen without falling off it. Use the black areas as blocks to keep you from falling. You need to think before you move. Can you make it to the exit?
|
| Feed the world... for real |
|
Help the United Nations World Food Programme feed the world. Play this game and for each right answer 20 grams of rice is donated to feed people in need. And you will strenghten you vocabulary at the same time.
|
| Pilots... get ready |
|
Ready for a little round of office paper flyver games? Just grab the flyver on the frontpage and throw it as far as you can. Can you get it past the laptop?
|
| CHOPS AWAY.... !!! |
|
Lamb Chop is an adventurous lamb. He like to go up high in planes and then throw himself out of them. Before he reaches the ground it's your task to navigate his free fall so that he picks up as many goodies on the way as possible. The game has been made to support the Make a Wish Foundation.
|
| Bang, bang... you're dead |
|
Remember the simple days of being a kid playing cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians? Back then you really didn't need fancy props - if you didn't have a toy gun you just pointed your finger at your friends and went "bang bang". Now that's how things work in this little 1st person shooter too. Point and shoot.
