Topic: Web Based games? What do you play? (Read 16258 times)

Keebbles · « **on:** 26 Mar 2009, 15:20 »

I've played a few at Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, but not really a fan of those games.
Lately I've been playing some Facebook games to pass time and one web based text game (see my sig) called Billy vs Snakeman that's kinda addictive and well thought out. Use link in my sig if you want to check it out. It's a Spoof on Ninja anime (especially Naruto series) turned into a game.

But if anyone else has some free to play, no D/L, no malware/spyware/adware inclusive game client required games that they do play on the web, please post them here. BvS is all the above and that's what I'm looking for. I don't mind games that sell you stuff as long as you don't need to buy it to play or access stuff that is necessary to compete.

Thanks.

FANTASTIC CONTRAPTION: google it. it's the bomb.

oh and you might want to take the image out of your sig, they are heavily frowned upon here and i'd hate for someone ruder than i to say something mean to you and scare you off.

Surgoshan · « **Reply #2 on:** 26 Mar 2009, 15:30 »

Fantastic Contraption is, indeed, the bomb. So is the desktop tower defense game at handdrawngames.com

Keebbles · « **Reply #3 on:** 26 Mar 2009, 16:20 »

Thanks for the ideas. I'll indeed check them out. Please try out BvS too and give me your impressions. Lost the sig picture and kept the link though- that's at bottom of my post...real tiny though.

Check out Kongregate.com.

Lots of flash games, with achievements.

Quake Live. More fun than most non-browser games.

Text Twist. Also, agreed that Quake Live rules.

Also sometimes I fire up Trogdor and Peasant Quest when I needs me some nostalgia.

Quake live is only good if you want your face melted by some swedish folk who are obviously part of some sk.gaming experiment, grown in a laboratry.

yellowfoliage · « **Reply #15 on:** 28 Mar 2009, 21:15 »

I always got my ass kicked around at Quake anyway so it's nothing new to me. I suck pretty hard at most FPSs but Quake is still one of my favorites.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #16 on:** 29 Mar 2009, 00:38 »

It's like french gamers are shit at most games but insanely sick at street fighter 3 third strike, swedish gamers are awesome at warsaw/quake/counterstrike, americans are good at UT and 15 year olds are sick at CoD4.

This game is psychotically addictive for something so simple:

Powder

It started off where you could sprinkle powder and blow it around with wind, and just keeps getting more and more psychotic with the options.

This is one of those where you'll start messing with stuff going "What is this crap? This is stupid." Next thing you know it's 5 o'clock in the morning and you're wondering how you're going to be able to work with no sleep.

Knock yourself out, but it's old. One of my friends came up with it.

Whats wrong with Emulators? Nothing illegal about them if you own the originals.

So, it's fine to own two copies of a game if you pay for one?

schimmy · « **Reply #35 on:** 10 May 2009, 03:43 »

It's kind of a legal grey area if you're backing up copies of games you've bought. It's like copying a CD you bought in case you scratch the original.

Vern LaVey · « **Reply #36 on:** 10 May 2009, 05:07 »

Yeah and I'm just the kind of geek who kept my NES cartridges for Zelda 1 & 2, Punchout and all the Mario games. In my defense, the Zelda ones were gold and purdy and the rest... I figured, well if I'm keeping the Zelda ones...

The N64 games I'm technically playing illegally though.

(In my earlier post I said Emulators, which are the programs made to play the games. I'm not sure of their legality, I meant to say ROMs which are the actual games the emulator plays)

There was this Zombie-shooting MMO that ran on Flash off a browser but I got sick of it after 15 minutes (ie. I died in 15 minutes) and the stupid part about it is when you run out of ammo in your gun and everything like bullets costs around 300 cash more than you can buy which gets you into an inescapable hole because of your inability to go outside without getting killed in one hit because you have nothing but a knife and a gun without bullets.

As you can see, I've forgotten the name.

Addendum: Quake Live is fun and fast-paced, if a little simple. Like UTGOTY except with simpler mechanics.

And by fast paced, I mean you won't do very well if you don't have a proper internet speed. On practice games I usually get a pretty large K>D ratio but against other players my accuracy drops to around 8%.

And some motherf***er once killed me before I even hit the ground from the respawn. Shotgun most likely.

Hands down, there is only one game you need to play, and that is Don't Shit Your Pants. This little gem of a game is the best text-adventure game I've ever played.

I am the shit king!!!

satsugaikaze · « **Reply #49 on:** 28 Jul 2009, 06:33 »

Done that one. Shorter than I expected.

The annoying part was scrolling down and seeing that commenters were posting the methods to unlock every achievement (which I did obviously afterwards)

Some of the achievements were pretty hilarious like shitting before the game even starts. XD
