ScummVM

ScummVM is a great open source project for running old quest games like Simon The Sorcerer, King’s Quest, Maniac Mansion, Day Of The Tentacle, and… I can go on with the list forever. Basically, this project was created to run old Sierra games, but since then has been developed to do a lot more than that.

Note that ScummVM is only the runtime engine for the games. To play an actual game you have to find the files on the Internet (this is due to legal issues). It’s not that hard, eh hem eMule eh hem… excuse me, I had to cough ;-)

Digger

If you’re old enough, then you know what Digger is, so I’m guessing no introduction is required. There’s even an online Java version of the game.

Did you know that you can sometimes meet people that know the game very well, but don’t know that you can use F1 to shoot?

Domino Pressure

I’ve been playing Domino Pressure every now and then for the past two months. It’s pretty challenging. The goal is to tip the right domino (by clicking it), so that it will cause all the other dominos to fall and eventually squash the tomato. My record is around level 105. Enjoy.
