Flash Tuesday!

Full Article  

Cameron Sorden

More fun flash games for you to sink your eager, work-shirking teeth into. It’s a little more cerebral than usual this week, and definitely retro. No violent games either, for the first time (since we didn’t come through with that on Indie Monday). We’re all kinds of out of character today! Have fun.

Crossword
Finally we have something for you word game fans on a Flash Tuesday. This neat little puzzle game takes its style appropriately enough from the standard crossword puzzle that’s so common in the daily paper. The difference here is that you get no clues. Instead, you’re given a letter bank and when you highlight a space it shows all the spaces that are the same letter. It’s like a cross between Sudoku and a crossword. Have a look. I know I was playing it longer than I needed to for a quick review. [Play]

Frogger
If this doesn’t have you all choked up with nostalgia and fond memories of sweaty hands and grease slicked joysticks, then you must not have set foot in an arcade during that whole decade we like to call “the 80’s”. If so, you can probably consider yourself lucky, but you still missed out on one of the greatest games about a frog ever. Play it now in flashy goodness if you didn’t play it then. [Play]

Thy Dungeonman 3: Behold Thy Graphics!
If you ever owned an Apple II, played a text adventure game (a la Zork), or marvelled at your crazy friends who enjoyed such games, you will find this parody thoroughly amusing. It’s a tongue in cheek flash game that constantly pokes fun at itself and the silly conventions used by the games of yesteryear. It’s hilarious if you have any knowledge of the source materials it references. If you get stuck and want to play through it for entertainment, check the walkthrough. Goeth and winneth yon gayme. [Play]

That wraps it up for this week’s Flash Tuesday! Enjoy your games, and check back soon for a new batch of picks.
