I
am always on the lookout for very interesting or unique games, puzzles
or diversions on the Internet - some of them I intend to list here.
Please note that for linked sites, the link will open a new browser

Norad Santa
Tracking (in season - Nov.25 to Christmas)
Track Santa as he dashes around the planet with the Reindeer. The
truth is revealed on this site: He uses afterburner boosters to help
the reindeer!
Internet Access Speed Testing
So you are new to broadband internet, you have a high-speed connection
and you want to understand just how fast it is? Check out this page
to see how I measure my access speed and some links to tools where
you can measure yours.
Online Games
Runescape:
- Quite possibly one of the best RPG (Role Playing Games) I have ever
played. This is an advanced, java-based 3-D shared world along the
lines of Everquest, but in the spirit of the old paper-based 'dungeons
and dragons' game. You move your character through a detailed world,
completing quests, gaining experience in areas as diverse as cooking,
mining, construction and of course, attack, defense, strength, etc.
A warning - if you are an addictive personality and enjoy RPG games,
but you don't have much time on your hands - you might not want to
try this game. Clever, challenging, fun, funny and very nicely programmed.
Frequent updates keep the game fresh.
Free Arcade:
- Free java games on the web. Some of these are faithful reproductions
of old video game favourites. Great when you need a mental health
break.
Yahoo Games:
- Some great time wasters here, group games and team games, but also
some great single player ones. Personally I am a fan of Euchre, which
is a four-handed card game - I hone my skills occasionally here. I
play chess too, and get whupped frequently ;-) |
