OK, the first one is sort of mindless, and I assume wouldn't merit a thread of its own.

Just see how many times you can volley the tennis ball up against the garage door with your tennis racket. My best so far is 23. On the high score table, someone has over 300! I kinda get a kick out of the background sounds of the neighborhood (dogs barking, birds singing, a lawnmower, cars driving by, etc). I hope I don't hit anyone with one of those balls I miss. Must be a lot of them in the street by now!

Garage Door Tennis

And here's one of those logic type puzzles where you have to move some beings across the river in a boat, without losing anyone. The stars of this puzzle are aliens and Men In Black...

Men In Black

I haven't quite figured out how to get the aliens across yet without getting the MIB's munched. But I haven't given it my full attention yet.

Do you have what it takes to climb the corporate ladder? Test your skills by fending off your power-hungry coworkers as you make your way to the top!

I used up 38 seconds and all 5 lives getting to the second floor before I was fired. My taxi is waiting . . .

I won the first time, but got fired on two more tries after that.

Well, I guess the first two games I posted were quite the bombs here! I guess I shouldn't have said the Garage Door Tennis was mindless, considering the brilliant minds we have here. I do find it fun to do like when I'm waiting for the water to boil on the stove, or the oven to preheat or something (computer is in the kitchen area). I think my best ever was 38 consecutive hits with the racket before I lost the ball. And that seemed like it took forever to get to 38.

I don't think I have the patience to try it over and over. This morning when I checked it, and the top ten scores were had by all the same person, the top score being 111, and the bottom score something like 55. Geeze, how many times did it take her to get that? And how does she have the time to do it so much!

Anyway, I still can't get the MIB's and aliens across the river. I know I've done variations of this puzzle before, but maybe I've never had to worry about the aliens outnumbering the MIB's. Maybe someone can come in here and post in white or invisible ink (so others don't get spoiled)?

Whoami:
Beginning of Spoiler Hint
With the aliens, focus on getting 3 MIBs and one alien on the other side with the boat. Then you can send the alien back to the other side to bring the other aliens across. Also, start by getting all 3 aliens to the other side first and then work the MIBs across without breaking the rules.
End of Spoiler Hint.

Thanks Bob. I'll have to go back and try. I can get two of each to the other side, but then I get stumped...

Here's another link to another site with a bunch of games...........

I got everyone across on the first try, but my highest score in the tennis game was 4 and the birds drove my cat crazy.

Yay! I got all the aliens and MIB's across finally! Geeze, I was starting to feel like quite an idiot. I was having a hard time even with Bob's hint!

I gave up on the aliens before Bob posted the hint. I'll try it again later with the hint. I did manage to get 28 hits with the tennis game, but like you whoami I don't have the patience to try to get higher. That took long enough. Those birds got on my nerves so I muted the darn thing. Thanks for a nice time waster Whoami.

okay...this one has them all. I've become a bit obsessed with a few of them...There's a bunch of games- some dumb, some fun. In the Wonkavision Room, the have Gobstopper gobbler which is pretty much Pac-Man with a twist. I also like Runts Collector in the Candy Room.

Holy Toledo! On the Tennis game, the top 4 scores for today (and the month) are all by the same person. Two scores of 502 and two scores of 324. Just how does someone have that kind of patience and time?

Give it another 15 minutes. At about midnight Mountain time, the daily high scores all go to zero. It's the only time I can get in the top ten, if only for a few minutes....(then the experts show up).

Oh man! After those high scores of 502 and 324 yesterday, I timed a few test runs of my own, and came up with an average of about 1.3 seconds for each successful hit. Using very crude math, it took almost 11 minutes for that person to get to 502, and 7 minutes to get to 324. I was just curious at just how long someone would have to be at it to get scores like that (since I said earlier I didn't much have the patience to keep trying).

Well, today someone's top score is (are you ready for this?) 9001! I just can't believe it! Using my previous formula, this person had to be hitting that darn ball against the door for over three consecutive hours! I just can't see how anyone could do that. In fact, that 502 yesterday was the highest score for the month, so that was pretty impressive itself.

It leaves me wondering if there must be a way to cheat at this game. How could anyone have that kind of hand/eye cordination for over three hours straight? And his/her eyes must have been completely buggy after staring at the computer screen all that time!

Whoami, I bet that if you get the ball to hit the wall in the exact right place that the ball will just keep going back and forth between the wall and the racket without you ever having to move anything. That is the only way that anyone could be making these humongous scores.

I e-mailed the site, cause I also found a car race game on the site that had the same username as a high score. The highest score before his was something like 30 seconds for a three lap race. His score was just over 3 seconds. No way can someone navagate that in 3 seconds.

The site e-mailed me back, and said "*sigh* how I hate cheaters." She thanked me and mentioned deleting their scores (which she did). She said sometimes its hard to figure out if someone is cheating, or has far too much time on thier hands. LOL, do I ever agree!

I guess I just don't understand why someone would want to cheat. What sort of sense of accomplishment can they get? I guess maybe they get their self satisfaction on beating the software or something.

Here's a little 'package' I put together. If you unzip this into a new folder then load 'index.html' in your browser. Next select the screen size on your computer and a menu will appear with several flash game links. When you click a game, it should open in a new window in the size you specified. If you have a larger screen but prefer your games in a smaller window, just choose a smaller size. Each of these loads directly without the usual advertising borders you see on the sites where they are located.

Enjoy

Okay, these are fun. So far, I like Hangaroo and Western. Thanks, Dra. I have nothing better to do than sit here in the dark basement on this beautiful sun shiney day! LOL
