For a 12 year old in 94' with no programming experience, Klik & Play blew my mind. As you all probably know, it was a game creation tool that made it extremely easy to create simple games without writing a single line of code. There was a huge community on America Online, Keyword:MAXIS?, where people could upload and share their games. My friend and I made a game called "The Quest For The Wonton Soup" which uh.. featured an asian man collecting coins to buy.. wonton soup. Yeah. At the time (remember, we were 12) we thought it was funny but clearly it was a prettty (edit: extremely) stereotypical take on an asian man. Whoops. This game existed on the Maxis forum on AOL for download and a number of probably illegal compilation cds filled with peoples klik & play games that some random companies sold. Anyway, neither of us have a copy of the game as it was probably thrown out with our 386's 15 years ago. Does anyone, for some absurd reason, have a copy of the game? As dumb and offensive as it was, i'd still love to see it again.

We made a demo for a sequel a year later using The Games Factory. Someone actually made a 'Let's Play' video of it :

Uh, unfinished sort of but still "playable", you're the lode runner guy and you're trying to win while daphny and daphakne_ebooks quotes fill the screen, Ed Ruscha style. There are a bunch of levels but you can't finish the first one. New version coming soon. :)

This is an old game that predates the current GT submission system. I am reuploading it so that all my GT games will show up on this page: https://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/games/*/sylvie

Cactus Block is a "gambling platformer". Use WASD to move, and click to place either a cactus or a block. You don't know which one it will be. Press R to restart the level if you get stuck or fall off the bottom.

In 2013, I made a remake of this game with added features called Cactus Block 2013. You can download that here: http://love-game.net/cactus.zip

YOU NEED A STRING, ROPE, OR PIECE OF YARN TO PLAY.

Just find something that can be tied and untied, follow the instructions in the video and see where it takes you.

I've been tinkering with Processing lately, and I wanted to try using it for a game jam. I had a good experience with it, but I think next time I'll pick a simpler game :P.

The zip contains standalone versions for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux. Incidentally, I'd recommend not downloading this, because there's not much to see and it's not really a game yet.

SpindleyQ Suggested I upload a ZZT Demo, and I decided to flow with it thinking what more absurd than a ZZT emulation of a Commodore 64 Demo? I created this little gem because back in the day I loved the Commodore 64 Christmas Demo. I remember sitting there for 7 minutes waiting for this to load up on an old 5 1/4" floppy disk and I'd just watch it over and over. The animation was so smooth... I'd def be loading up this disk during the holidays.

Nowadays I can just click the tube video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Nfgdr4fOS8 which isn't the same as listening to that disk drive load and seeing the blue screen, and hte anticipation... But I hope I did my part in recreating this timepiece moment to moment. Could be better, could be worse, could be in a hearse, but enjoy nonetheless. I'm not sure which you should watch first, the link I provided, or running this file. Just make sure you've got music going otherwise it'd be a little lacking without it. I'll leave it your call nonetheless.

You are a gibbed head in Quake. You need to roll around and find your body before it respawns! But it may be too late...
