TwoThree.

TwoThree is a simple, but educational shooter. Numbered enemies will attack from the sky, you shoot them down using the 2 and 3 keys, which will fire the numbers 2 and 3. If your shots hit the enemies, the value of your shot is subtracted from the value of the enemy, when the enemies value reaches exactly zero, it is destroyed.
However, if the enemies value does not reach exactly zero, it will rain digits down on you, which collect under your gun, moving it up the screen. When your gun reaches the top of the screen, the game is over.

I found TwoThree quite difficult, if you make a mistake with a couple of shots, your gun is raised too high and it's essentially "game over".
I have no idea how people managed to achieve the scores listed in the online score table.
A fun, but frustrating game.

Online Flash game -- Stunt Pilot.

Ever fancied whizzing around the sky in a highly maneuverable stunt plane, well here's your chance.
You must fly your plane through every hoop, as quickly as possible (to score extra points), without hitting a hoop, balloon, tree, etc. You can go through the hoops in any order and as many times as you want (although you only get points for the first transit), if you go through a succession of hoops with the boost button (space bar) depressed, the chain bonus gives you extra points.

The game consists of forty two levels, but after you complete all forty two, you can continue to increase your high score with some additional levels.
There is a bonus balloon popping round every five levels, giving you extra points and an additional life if you pop every ballooon. But be careful not to crash, as you can still lose lives in the bonus rounds.

I enjoyed Stunt Pilot, the graphics and sounds are very nice and the levels are entertaining. And it's nice to see that you get to parachute safely to the ground after a mid air collision.

Note: you will need Flash enabled in you browser and loading time is approximately 5 minutes, on a 56K connection.
After the game has downloaded it does take a little while to load, so be patient.
The game screen is quite large, so if viewing at 800*600 you might want to use full screen, which is F11 in most browsers.

Online Flash game -- Pac-Xon.

Pac-Xon is a combination of two game types, Pacman and an area reducing game (I cant remember the name, but it's usually played with penguins).
Anyway, the object of the game is to fill at least 75% of the empty space, by building walls around areas that are devoid of ghosts. But if a ghost should hit your pacman, or your incomplete wall, you lose a life.

There are a variety of ghosts, each with different characteristics and as the game progresses more appear. You are aided in your task by random powerups, giving you speed boosts, or slowing the ghosts.
Pac-Xon isn't particularly difficult, because you gain a life at the end of each level, but it is quite entertaining once a lot of ghosts are present.

Online flash game -- Crazy Mammoths

In Crazy Mammoths you race Mammoths frozen in blocks of ice, down a snow covered course. Each course consists of a series of check points, if your Mammoth passes a checkpoint in the lead, you score one point. Whoever has the most points at the final checkpoint (worth three points) wins.

There are four Mammoths in the race and to overtake you jump, which hopefully should move you ahead. However quite a bit of skill and timing is required, as the opposing Mammoths aren't going to sit idly by, while you bound into the lead. Those ahead of you will attempt to block your progress, while those behind will try to jump over you.
Once you get into the lead you have the problem of air resistance, which will slow you, while following Mammoths slipstream in your wake, getting a speed boost.

You can play in either a three league championship, challenge mode, or four player mode, where up to four players can share the same keyboard, in which case, I would imagine that it wont just be the Mammoths, who are pushing and shoving!
Crazy Mammoths is pretty good fun and I found myself tilting back and forth, as the slope increased and decreased. My tip for winning is, don't always jump, often you can slide under a jumping Mammoth and onward to victory. Go, go, go number 23.

Note: press "space" to start the race.

Flash game -- Gunmaster Onslaught v2.0 by Jason Reinsvold.

Gunmaster is an all action game, your soldier defends the area from attack by enemy soldiers who are armed with a variety of weapons, from the simple rifle, to rockets and grenades. To add to your problems, after a while the enemy calls up air support and ground armour.

You have a variety of weapons to defend yourself with, ranging from your standard gun, shotgun and machine gun, up to the super cool guided rocket.
Ammo and health powerups are parachuted in from time, to time.

This is a great little game, requiring some tactics, as well as fast reflexes. Just watch out for the shrapnel and don't run out of ammo.

Online Flash game -- Disorientation.

Warning: Do Not play this game, if you are adversely affected by swirling, zooming, or rotating images.

Disorientation, as the name suggests, is a game that tries to confuse you by swirling, zooming and rotating the playing area. You must guide your character through a maze of spikes, sliding blades and attacking clones, to reach the multi-coloured block and move to the next level.
The clones are the major problem, as they are fairly difficult to avoid, the rest of the obstacles are just a matter of timing and remembering which button moves you, in which direction.
There is an arrow, to show you in which direction you should be moving and the full playing area is shown, at the start of each level. A timer shows how long you have taken to complete the game, I completed it, in just over eight minutes.

I found that the continual disorientation effects, were quite nausea inducing on later levels, so don't play the game if you are upset by visual effects. The game also features quite gruesome impaling and beheading sequences, when your character makes a mistake, so is unsuitable for small children, or those of a nervous disposition.

Flash Game -- Asteroids.

Having been around when video games first appeared, I am always interested when I find games that claim to be copies of original games from that era, most are rather pale imitations, but this Asteroids game is pretty close.

Its made with Shockwave Flash, so the file size is a small 22k.
The graphics are very faithful to the original and the sound is fairly close.
The game does lack either a hyperspace jump feature or a shield, features that were in the original game, depending on the version you played.

The controls are the arrow keys to move and space to fire, there is an online high score feature but as I played it offline I cant guarantee whether it works or not.

Flash game -- The problem with Pukis.

On a routine space mission you have picked up a cute pet called a Puki, however after accidental exposure to gamma radiation, your harmless pet has begun to breed like a Tribble and has changed into a ferocious killer, with a taste for blood.... your blood.
You must race through the space stations corridors, wiping out the Pukis, before they finish you.

The game graphics are in a pleasant washed out style, however it can make some objects difficult to see. Unusually for a Flash game, it is 3D, with a very good corridor effect.
There are some good blood effects as you shoot the Pukis.

The game controls are rather tricky, aiming and shooting are done with the mouse, which works well, but moving, crouching and shields, is done with the A,W,S,D, Shift and Space keys, which is rather tricky and I often lost powerups through pressing Caps Lock, rather than Shift to crouch.

You have a laser to shoot the Pukis and forcefields, this works well in the early levels, but your laser does overheat rather easily, which causes problems later on.
Your heath and progress are shown with a bar and pointer at the bottom right of the screen, while the vertical bar is your shield. There are powerups available through the game, to give you extra time, or repair your shields, or health, but it is not clear what some do, the yellow exclamation mark seemed to reduce your health!

The game has twelve levels, three of which are bonus levels, where it doesn't matter if you die, which is just as well, as I died every time.

In conclusion, a very good game, let down somewhat by the awkward controls, but great fun.

Online Flash game -- Thrust II.

In Thrust II, your mission is to maneuver a rocket, from the launch pad, to the landing pad. Along the way shoot balloons for extra points and shoot doors to open them. The faster you complete a level, the more bonus points you earn.

The rocket is fairly easy to control, but I found that shooting balloons could be tricky and it was often wise to ignore them, but avoid running into balloons, as they will destroy your rocket.
The eight levels get progressively harder and I still havent completed the game.

Flash game -- Helicopter.

A very simple Flash game, guide your helicopter through the caves, without hitting the floor, or ceiling, while dodging the obstacles.
Click your mouse button to go up, release to go down, a very basic game but surprisingly addictive, how far can you get?
My record is 1072 feet.

Flash game -- !Fishy!

Fishy is a very simple game, but quite entertaining. Your fish must eat smaller fish to grow, while avoiding being eaten by larger fish.
It's possible to make your fish grow so large, that no other fish can eat you and the game does have an ending if you grow enormous, but I'm not going to tell you what it is............

Nobody messes with you when you get this big.
