I love 1up's 101 free game lists, but they fail to mention http://www.brokensword25.com/ under adventure games. I heard it was pretty good.

Just wondered if anyone else had played Ark22 ?

a zelda clone but i've been playing it all night.

..and basically anything from this list

black shades is quite fun

I had a good time with...

BUDGET HERO

"My fellow Americans, you should elect me for this distinguished office because in Budget Hero I reduced the national debt from 49.9% of GDP in 2008 ($11.2 trillion) to 17.9% of GDP in 2018 ($4.0 trillion), because delayed the budget bust from 2031 to 2069, and because I achieved badges in the Green, Energy Independence and Health + Wellness categories. God bless you, and God bless America!"

Seriously though, it's decent edutainment.

Black Shades was actually pretty cool - makes sense it was by the guys who did that Luguru game, they've both got a certain intensity to them.

Knytt Stories:
a largish download but an interesting platform game nonetheless.

nice, shame about all the cheated high scores.

I can't play that maze game 'cause I'm scared that just when I'm concentrating the most it's gonna do the old AAAARGH LOUD SCREAM AAAAARGH SCARY FACE AAAAARGH trick. Just like what happened to me at work once.

haha the scary maze was genius, for making the maze smaller so people would move closer to the screen for that moment.

Oh man, best Eyezmaze yet. Wonderful stuff.

I was mildly addicted to Monster Den 2 on Kongregate for a few days. Brought me way back to my RPG beginnings.

Just. Play. It.

Whoa, that game is a year old? Damn.

Mine, build and defend. Great graphics, steep-ish learning curve in the challenges...

Jumpman is amazing! http://runhello.com/

broken picture telephone broken

and I had about two dozen games on the go ;_;

It's working again!

was broken due to surge of traffic? did ilx break it?

ledge did i just see you on one of my brokentelephone picture thingy

a user called crackbone seems to be ruining almost every game anyway

ha yeah that's me.

what an arse. although by its nature it's pretty impossible to ruin a game completely.

i think he's been removed now anyway

it's a funny game, though the drawing tool is pretty awful.

my worst error was someone had wrote 'ghost woman runs away from pepperoni pizza', in my haste i drew a pepperami man chasing a woman.

(crackbone actually went next and just wrote 'RAPE', which was quite funny really)

Indy Jones and Fate of Atlantis in browser!!!

just finished http://www.kongregate.com/games/TerryCavanagh/dont-look-back
liked it a lot. it's like an emotional journey of montezuma's revenge / h.e.r.o

has anyone linked the incredibly frustrating but really great Funny Farm? http://shygypsy.com/farm/p.cgi Has a kind of "Prodigy Online Service" simplicity to it which I like. Friend of mine told me they used it as a party game the other night and I believe that could be fun, although whoever's typing would surely get sick of people yelling things at them to try....

Re: Don't Look Back, maybe it's a little weird but I am annoyed that less than half of the many sites I've seen of the game don't mention (it'll take you about five minutes to play the game, but ***spoiler***) that it's a surprise recreation/reinterpretation of the Orpheus/Eurydice myth, part of what makes it so moving at the end.

Funny Farm is pretty cool though I'm lost, can't get past the first screen really...

Yeah, it's a weird mix of like, stuff that actually goes on a farm (for example) and then kind of inductive/punning connections.

Played an hour or two of Space Game to unwind last night. It's good but the difficulty curve is too much for me - I don't seem to be getting any better and nothing I do really seems to make any difference. Once they start really sending in the bad guys, it's all over..
