I have to admit my addiction to Jewel Quest.

I downloaded it from MSN games.

It only checks the time remaining timer when the program starts. If you don't shut it down you can play to your heart's content.

I did.

Did the same with MasterBlaster. I completed the game.

I played Zuma non-stop for about 3 months, until the little Inca musical score was firmly embedded in my brain for all eternity. It's going through my head as I write this.

I had to erase it from my hard drive to get any work done at home. RIP Zuma.

I'm not a big player of games, but I got KATAMARI DAMACY for PS2 and I just can't stop playing it. I've never been addicted to a game, but this one is just so darn fun and funny and weird and the music is great... I roll around my little ball picking things up... It's very unpredictible... What's around the next corner? If you have the chance, I strongly suggest looking into this fabulous creation.

Here's a synopsis and some reviews.

I like that candy train game. Do they still have that?

And that rocket launcher thing. I like that one too much too.

There's a game called Square Off on comcast.net games that I finally managed to get all the way through on the web playable version.

intelligent qube? anyone? got the demo for the ps1 in... oh... '93 a couple of years ago I remembered the game and went on an ebay hunt.. got obsessed.. ended up paying 40$ for a copy.. but you know.. I play it atleast once a week so I think it was a good buy.. if anyone can point me to good ps1 copying program that works for cd.. I'll send you one ( I know the software is out there.. I just don't know where to start looking!) hmmm.. a ps1 trading club? (not that I would ever illegally copy software )

For awhile my wife was playing Insaniquarium ad absurdum. I was wierded out at first because of the strange humming she'd do while playing it, until I figured out that the humming sound was produced by a mermaid in the game. Gah.

PS1 games can be ripped by a variety of programs, including DiscJuggler, Nero and CDRWin. Obtaining a PlayStation or emulator that can _play_ PS1 copies and/or disc images is an entirely different matter, and left as an exercise for the reader.

(I have an original of Intelligent Qube, bought long ago.)

Oh, you want addictive webgames too? <a href="http://megami.starcreator.com/nanaca-crash/">NANACA CRASH!</a>

I liked both Insaniquarium and Zuma. I really liked Rocket Mania, but I preferred the no frills version that didn't talk to you. There is something really annoying about having a computer game say 'good job' when you complete every level.

You are a very, very, evil man.

I had intented to crochet at work tonight. Never picked up a hook.

(admittedly I split my time between nanaca crash! (I made it past 3K meters) and my first visit to Insaniquarium. Is that damn game produced under a corporate sponsorship from some carpal tunnel syndrome surgery center or something?)
