Lots of flash/browser games recently - thought I’d have a list of the good ones here.

• Aplayr has a couple multiplayer AJAX based games, and quite a few flash games too. kdice is addicting.
• Comboling is one I’ve had in my bookmarks for a while. Good puzzle game.
• DHTML Lemmings. Gets kinda wierd somtimes but is quite faithful to the original game.
• Nanaca Crash! weird game based on some anime. Easy to get lost in this one.
• Vexed - good port of a PalmOS puzzle game.
• Java-based NES Emulator - semi-legal probably, but undeniably fun.
• Desktop Tower Defense - this is still making new rounds, and I still enjoy messing with it on occasion
• Dwarf Fortress - free ascii roguelike, with dynamic generating lands which are HUGE.
• UO Tower Defense - Tower Defense with UO graphics - fun, somewhat easy
• Legend of the Green Dragon - LoRD was an amazing BBS game, and this is the web port of it. Way cool.
• Zwok - odd characters throwing snowballs at eachother - online multiplayer turn based game
• DOFI-BLOG - lots of games linked on the right, some better than others - favorites of mine are Cat with Bow Golf and Double Wires
• Amberial - Pretty cool puzzle game
• Web Zen: strange games zen Has links to a few good games, boomshine is quite good.

Yup, its out and after monkeying around just a bit with the theme, everything is working great here already.  DreamHost’s one-click upgrades work awfully well.

Fun times.
