The Internet is full of games, many of which are highly original and addictive. This page contains links to some of the best games that can be found on the Internet. Many of these games require Flash, Shockwave, or Java plugins.

Solitaire Mahjongg by Thomas Weibel

This is an extremely well coded version of Mahjongg by Thomas Weibel. Unlike many other versions of this game, Thomas has composed this entirely in dhtml. As such, it will run in any browser on any platform. The graphics are pleasing to the eye, and the game is addictive. Full instructions are provided in the game.

Mr Driller (unknown author)

An intriguing game which blends the speed of the arcade with color matching puzzle games. Guide Mr Driller further underground by removing blocks beneath or to his left or right. Watch out, because unsupported blocks will fall from above and squash Mr Driller. Give it a go. You'll find that the gameplay becomes quite intuitive.

Land of the Dead by George Romero

This Shockwave game is based on the traditional First Person Shooter format. Its very well put together and shows what can be acheived with Shockwave. You can choose a display size that suits your computer's speed. Use the mouse to aim and shoot, and WASD keys to move. Destroy the zombies and collect health and other items.

Fleeworld by Numbat Studios

Always on the lookout for innovative arcade games, I was happy to find Fleeworld--a unique game with original gameplay. The player uses the mouse to guide a group of flees through fixed screen levels. As with all casual browser games, this is an excellent time waster. It gets quite challenging, and is definitely addictive. Fleeworld is an enjoyable twist on the classic platform format.

Cellblast by Yoshio Ishii

A true arcade game. Destroy everything that moves. This game features wonderful eye-candy. All sprites are made up of cells, which explode in excellent particle effects. Use the mouse to control your ship, and shoot with the mouse button. This is a shockwave game.

Keno Crush by Brent Silby

This is a non-arcade game based on the popular Keno game. The project was commissioned by Casino-Crush. The version on their site is a pay-per-play game, and credits earned get added to the player's existing account.

Defender by Eugene Jarvis

This is one of the best known games from 1980. It was the first game that featured a scanner, and enemies that behaved intelligently off-screen. Fly your ship over the landscape and destroy the landers. Save the astronauts from being picked up. Watch out for the mutants that evolve when landers bring astronauts to the top of the screen. This is a shockwave emulation of the original game which was designed by Eugene Jarvis in 1980

Baja by Yukihiro Naito

This is a nice variation of the arcade classic"Rally-X". The player must navigate a maze and collect all the flags while avoiding the enemy cars. It is possible to hide from the enemies by laying down a smoke screen. Very well designed game with an excellent 3d feel. This game requires the shockwave plugin.

Galaxian by Scott Porter

This version of Galaxian was written by Scott Porter in 1999. After his site disappeared, I managed to find a copy of this game on another site. I've added a speed test to ensure that it runs at the correct speed on modern computers. This game will only run in Internet Explorer. Control Keys: Q,W (move) P (fire)

Cluster Bomb by Scott Porter

As part of my quest to preserve Scott's games, I have found a copy of Cluster Bomb. This is a fun version of Taito's "Puzzle Bobble". It was written in 1999, so will only run in Internet Explorer. Any version of Internet Explorer will work, but because its a pre DOM2 game, it will not work in Firefox, Mozilla, etc. Control Keys: Q,W (move) P (fire)

Wiz 3 by Steve Eaborn

Nice side scrolling platform adventure. This game incorporates all the classic elements that players expect in this genre. This is a JAVA game, so requires JAVA plugin to run.

Moon Patrol

This is a very well put together rendition of the classic arcade game from 1982. Jump your moon buggy over craters, shoot rocks and alien space craft. Its written in dhtml/javascript, so no plugins are required. The game speed seems to vary a lot between different computers.

Aerial Drop by Brent Silby

To play the game, use the Q and A keys to aim your gun up and down. Fire with P key. Try to destroy all enemy aircraft before the parachuting robots capture your base.

Bug Control by Brent Silby

In this game the player moves a spray can around the screen and shoots down alien bugs--preferably before they destroy the house. The spray can sprays automatically when a bug is targeted. The game has several stages, each with a different house to protect.

Jump and Run

Nice side scrolling game. This game uses many graphics from the Wonderboy arcade game from the mid 1980s. Use arrows to move and space to jump.

Music Catcher by Brent Silby

My first javascript game. The game involves the player moving an MP3 recorder around the screen trying to catch musical notes. A simple time waster game.

Heliberg

Internet Explorer only for this great Role Playing Adventure game. This one will keep you occupied for hours as you find your way around and talk to people you meet. This is the only RPG javascript game I've found on the net.
